58. One pick-up
Gusu, Gusu again.
Jiang Xiyi has come to Gusu for the third time, and it is also the third time to go to Yanziwu.
The purpose of each time she set foot on this road was different, the first time she came, she was looking for someone; The second time she came, she was there to listen; And this time, she came to find someone again, and she was looking for the person she was looking for the first time - Murong Fu.
Taihu Lake is still calm and waveless, and from a distance, there is a small boat docked near the last time Jiang Xiyi took Abi away, where it is safely parked, it seems that it is not floating on the water, but is placed on land.
But does this Lake really seem as dangerous as it seems?
Is the ship as stable as it looks?
If she had to answer Abi, she would have told everyone that she had lived in Taihu Lake for many years, had never seen a boat capsized in the lake, and there was no safer place than Taihu Lake.
However, Taihu Lake has also left a lot of lives, and there must be the corpses of unknown people at the bottom of the lake.
The water of the lake, which looks clear, does not seem to be clear.
When Abi got closer, he saw the boat and said in surprise, "Oh, my boat is still here!" โ
She trotted over, looked at it, and said with a smile: "There are still people who help me tie it, the oars and bamboo poles are still there, but they are dirty, I'm afraid they can't be used now, let's go to the ferry boat house over there to find someone to bring us over." โ
Actually, this boat is not very dirty, but I don't know how long the boat will be clean after stopping at the lake?
There were layers of fallen leaves on the bottom of the boat, and the top leaves were fresh, and slowly went down, and the withered color became more and more obvious, and there was a puddle of water on the bottom of the boat, except for the leaves, and there was not even a single cobweb.
The ferry that Ah Bi said was not far away, Jiang Xiyi turned his head to the side and found it, but few people knew where Yanziwu was, and Ah Bi was willing to ask those men to ferry them, which could only mean that at least some of those people were put here by the Murong family to watch.
Perhaps, when everyone arrived at the lake, someone had already sent the news to the swallow dock.
Jiang Xiyi was never stupid, she just didn't think about these things.
Of course, the boats on the shore were not as good as Ah Bi's boats, and when they went for the first time, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi took the two boats to the Swallow Dock, and today they needed three boats.
It's late autumn now.
The autumn breeze gently blows across the surface of Taihu Lake, bringing up a few ripples, like an amorous woman's hand caressing her lover's face.
The spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River is slightly drunk, like the breath of a beautiful girl; But at this moment, in late autumn, the autumn wind in late autumn elsewhere can blow chaos between heaven and earth, and when it comes to Jiangnan, this autumn wind has become a pair of delicate and affectionate hands, which will never make people feel uncomfortable.
The three boats were slowly moving on the lake, it was getting late, twilight was approaching, none of the three captains had proposed to rest, their hands were very steady, and their breathing was not short, Jiang Xiyi knew, she guessed correctly, the three captains picked out by Abi were all people she knew, and the people she knew were naturally people from the Murong family.
This trip to Swallow Dock will never go wrong.
The stars twinkled in the sky, and the wind slowly pushed away the clouds that obscured the moon, revealing a bend of the first quarter moon embedded in the starry sky.
The night was quiet, and the night on the lake was even quieter, and Jiang Xiyi seemed to be able to hear the sound of dew dripping from the leaves on the shore to the ground.
She had made all the preparations for drawing the sword, and the sword would come out today.
She could hear faint sounds, she could see things far away, her eyes closed and then opened, and a murderous aura flowed faintly.
Although the chill in the wind was heavier, the world was still peaceful and tranquil at the moment.
Jiang Xiyi closed her eyes again, and this time she didn't open them right away.
She sat on the boat, as if she was sitting casually, but Tianshu knew, Tianliang knew, and the thirteen swords knew, and at this moment she was ready to strike, like an arrow on a strong bow that had been pulled to the extreme.
She didn't know what Murong Fu's martial arts were, but she never despised any opponent.
Because if you want to live long and don't want to lose, then you can never underestimate your opponents, and you can never overestimate yourself too much.
The boat landed lightly, not as stable as Abi stopped, this captain directly hit the boat to the shore, Jiang Xiyi opened his eyes gently, and the sky was already dawning.
There was no fog on the surface of the lake, as if it had been blown away by this fresh and fragrant wind.
A red sun slowly rises over the lake.
A faint white cloud drifted in the sky.
The wind-blown foliage of the lake pulls the morning light on them, and the shadows they leave on the ground are more slanting and brighter themselves.
Because there are still crystalline and transparent dewdrops on the branches and leaves.
After everyone went ashore gently, they didn't see a single person along the way, Abi's eyes flew wildly, and she was very curious in her heart, but thinking of this hour, there should be fewer people.
A touch of the morning sun hits the swallow dock, reflecting the pavilions, bamboo fences, huts, and occasionally heard the chirping of birds, which makes it seem that this place is extraordinarily quiet.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiyi heard the sound of the sword swinging, this sound was too familiar to her, she turned her feet, followed the sound and walked forward, and the thirteen swords all moved together behind her.
Ah Bi was about to tell Jiang Xiyi to tell her to rest for a while, but when she turned her head, she found that Jiang Xiyi no longer followed her, Ah Bi said, "Oh, Miss Jiang, where are you going?" This is the place to rest, you're on the wrong side! โ
Jiang Xiyi didn't stop at his feet, and said slowly: "I'll go to find Murong Fu." โ
Abi said: "But, but Miss Jiang, you don't know where my son-in-law is." โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "I know. โ
Abi trotted a few steps to follow, puzzled, "You know?" Miss Jiang, how did you find out? I don't even know where my son is. โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "I don't need to see, I already hear where he is, it's enough." โ
The hall of Shenhezhuang Swallow Dock is profound, heavy and heavy.
The bamboo curtain is deep, directly isolating the hustle and bustle of the red dust from the bead curtain, but it seems to firmly lock the autumn rhyme of late autumn.
The swallow hovered over the beam, and then flew in the air, light and agile, and finally landed on the branch of a tree. Under the tree stood a little girl in an autumn shirt, and she seemed to be waiting for someone.
That little girl is Ah Zhu.
There was a boy in a green shirt dancing a sword in front of him, and after he finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he put down the long sword, picked up another knife next to him, and continued to practice the knife technique.
After Abi saw Azhu, she ran over and held Azhu's hand tightly, and said, "Sister Azhu, I finally see you again, I miss you!" โ
Ah Zhu held Ah Bi's hand tightly with both hands, looked Ah Bi up and down with his eyes, and after seeing that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "You girl, you suddenly disappeared that day, but it scared me to death, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Deng and Brother Gongye and the second brother are also looking for you outside, but I only saw your boat on the edge of Taihu Lake, you don't know where you are going, don't do this next time!" โ
Abi lowered his head, shook it gently, and whispered: "If I had to choose by myself, I wouldn't want to leave, but ...... But there's really no way, you just need to know that I didn't leave voluntarily. โ
Ah Zhu smiled: "I know, of course I know, why does our Abi girl want to leave Shenhezhuang and leave Gongye." โ
Abi raised his head and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, I just came back, you just talk about me like that, I'm going to be angry." โ
Ah Zhu hid the smile on his lips, looked up at Jiang Xiyi and the others, and said, "Thank you Miss Jiang for sending Ah Bi back, the prince is still practicing at this moment, and please go to the main hall for a short rest." โ
Jiang Xiyi stood in place and looked at Murong Fu as if he hadn't heard Abi's words, and then said coldly: "Murong Gongzi, don't come unharmed." โ
Murong Fu made a move, and then turned to face Jiang Xiyi, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but Master Jiang Zhuang still has the same demeanor." โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "Murong Gongzi is not surprised to see me, could it be that he already expected me to come again?" โ
Murong Fu said: "Master Jiang is a friend, I won't be surprised to come, and I won't be surprised if I don't come, but I don't know if Master Jiang Zhuang came too quickly or too late." โ
Jiang Xiyi said slowly: "I think it's just right for me to come now." โ
Murong Fu smiled and said, "It seems that Master Jiang Zhuang came here today to find someone to do it?" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "That's right. โ
Murong replied: "When and where?" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "Here and now." โ
Murong Fu asked in surprise, "Right here and now?" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "That's right, although here and now, it seems that you occupy the right time and place, but what the ending will be, I'm afraid you can't say for sure at the moment." Also, I have one more word for you. โ
Murong replied: "I don't know what to say. โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "You are not my friend. โ
A gust of wind passed through, bringing with it the fragrance of grass and trees.
Although at this time, the osmanthus has long been gone, but there is still a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the wind, peaceful and sweet, just this wisp of breath, is enough to give people a glimpse of the scene of fragrant mountains and autumn.
The wind carried the fragrance of cinnamon seeds, and there was a strong sense of slaughter.
It blew from the lake, through the houses and trees, and the sunlight fell to the ground through the layers of leaves, like a golden sword plunging into the ground.
The two are so different, but one thing is the same.
Cold.
The wind is cold, and so is the daylight.
A heavy chill hit Murong Fu, making him almost retreat.
But he knew that he couldn't retreat, as long as he took a step back, he would lose, it didn't matter if he lost, but Gusu Murong must not lose.
Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were forced away by the cold, and they didn't want to go, but they had to go, as if they would die if they stayed a few more moments.
Murong Fu gritted his teeth and struck first.
He slashed with a knife, saw that he suddenly made the "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife", and then turned to the "Bagua Knife Method" before the move became old, and changed the "** knife", and in an instant, even used the โกโก way knife method, each way can be deep in the know, get its essence.
However, no matter how good his sword skills are, it is difficult for him to get close to Jiang Xiyi's side.
Jiang Xiyi's feet swirled, his body circled, raised his right hand, and suddenly climbed onto Murong Fu's knife body, two fingers slid on the blade, and with a flick, Murong Fu felt a huge shock in his hand, his arm was sore, and the tiger's mouth had lost his intuition, and he was taken aback and hurriedly jumped back.
After a few clangs, the blade was shattered.
Jiang Xiyi said: "You draw your sword." โ
Murong Fu sneered, picked up the long sword, lifted his spirits, and used the Murong family heirloom swordsmanship, looking for it endlessly, like flowing water, and in an instant, his whole body seemed to be covered in a light curtain.
This sword technique is exquisite.
Murong Fu's move was fierce and vicious, and he wanted to take Jiang Xiyi's life.
But at this time, Jiang Xiyi smiled.
The hand is on the sword, a dragon groans, and the sword is unsheathed!
Suddenly, her whole body was shrouded in sword qi, which was a cold sword qi that could seep into people's blood and bones.
Jiang Xiyi swung a sword in his hand, and immediately a violent wind swept out.
Murong Fu knew that Jiang Xiyi was very strong, but he didn't know that she was so strong.
His hair was cold, and he even had a rash behind his ears and neck. This sword qi had already penetrated into his body, but he couldn't not move, because in his heart, if he didn't move now, he would die.
Murong Fu's best skill is not a knife, not a sword, but the skill of "Fighting and Turning the Stars", which is a kung fu that uses strength to fight, no matter what move the opponent uses, he can transfer the strength and counterattack the opponent himself. The higher the martial arts of the person who struck, the more ingenious the way to die.
But Jiang Xiyi's sword, with the momentum of a thousand catties, the sword light was shining, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, Murong Fu was suppressed by the sword qi, and he couldn't resist it for a while.
Suddenly, this overwhelming sword aura disappeared.
But the wind was more urgent, and it passed through the forest, with a terrible whistling sound.
Murong Fu was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to raise his sword to make a move, but immediately after, he saw a deadly sword light again!
The sword was like a meteor piercing the sky.
Jiang Xiyi suddenly stabbed out a sword, the sword had not yet arrived, but the sword qi had already cut off the autumn wind, and the sword body turned into a flying rainbow, which was accurately aimed at Murong Fu's neck.
The sword was close to Murong Fu's neck, and he didn't dare to move, and he couldn't move.
Jiang Xiyi stared at him with a pair of eyes, and said coldly: "I don't like to kill people, and I don't like to waste people's martial arts, but I don't like others to lie to me even more, so what do you want?" โ
At this time, a shout came from the forest: "Hugh hurt my son-in-law!" โ
Then the four of them landed, and they were the four retainers of Murong Fu.
The thirteen swords were unsheathed, and after a few strokes, they surrounded the four people and formed a sword formation.
Jiang Xiyi said: "Even if I want to kill Murong Fu now, can you stop it?" โ
The storm said evilly: "If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "You can still live if you go now, if you don't leave, you will die, so you have to stop it?" โ
Gongye Qian said loudly: "It's useless to talk too much, it's better to do it quickly!" โ
Jiang Xiyi said: "Your family is very good, but it's a pity that I followed you, I won't kill you today, but just like that, I am not convinced." โ
After saying that, Jiang Xiyi's left hand suddenly raised and slapped Murong Fu's chest, Murong Fu suddenly felt a feminine and thick palm force enter his body, and his body was cold in an instant, like falling into an ice cave.
With a bang, Jiang Xiyi returned the long sword to the sheath and said, "Let's go." โ
The four retainers hurriedly rushed up and supported Murong Fu, seeing that Murong Fu's face was pale and bloodless, Bao Wei shouted: "You don't want to leave!" โ
Jiang Xiyi had already walked out of the forest, but her voice came into the eardrums of everyone in the forest, and she said, "You want me to stay?" Did you stay and kill Murong Fu? โ
