Chapter 55: Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots (261/587)
Earlier, in the woods.
Dead soldier A put his hands on his sleeves, young but dull, standing under a pine tree, watching Lao Yi and Song Ying approach the boat.
Like Father-in-law Jia, Dead Shijia has stayed in the palace since he was a child, from spring, summer, autumn and winter to twelve hours a day, he is doing what this identity should do, just like a rui beast in the Taiji Palace, watching everything inside and outside the palace, and striving not to make any mistakes in this life.
For a whole day, Queen Cui didn't show her head on the building boat, since she didn't see Queen Cui, she had to think about all the possibilities, such as the other party had guessed the assassination, and the building boat in front of her was a bait. Leave someone behind, always with a good idea.
In fact, he guessed correctly, not long after Lao Yi got on the boat, a black shadow was felt on the river beach, and then there was a blade like a tide.
Dead Soldier One glanced at it, but did not show up to relieve the siege, but turned and walked into the woods.
Long before he came, Dead Man A saw that Song Ying had no intention of fighting, and Xu Buling's 'Twenty-Eight Road Serial Knife' also exposed his strength, and Lao Yi couldn't beat it. He may have fought in the past, but it was only possible, and his father-in-law taught him since he was a child that he must be foolproof in everything he does; Because the days of life are long, there will always be a few accidents, and only when you make sure that nothing goes wrong can you do it without any mistakes.
The task assigned by the saint this time is to kill Queen Cui, so in the case that other purposes may fail, you should first ensure that killing Queen Cui is foolproof.
Since Lou Boat is a bait, then Queen Cui is definitely not on the boat. The guards and Xu Buling were both near the building boat, and it was impossible to put Empress Cui too far, so there would be no way to rush to help in time, so Empress Cui must be hiding nearby.
Dead Warrior walked slowly among the mountains, seemingly slow, his eyes searching for any possible hiding place, and also looking for clues that might remain on the ground.
This search was obviously effective, and in the woods that were gradually approaching the cave at the foot of the mountain, the dead soldier finally found a human figure.
The night was dark and windy, there was no light in the woods, and between the two trees in front of me, a vague black shadow appeared.
The black shadow looks old and dying, but it stands under the tree without moving, as if it has been standing there for many years, and ordinary people may subconsciously ignore it when they come to it.
Dead Soldier A recognized who it was, but there was no emotion in his eyes, after all, no one had taught him this thing since he could remember, there was no ego, as long as he had to do things in his eyes, and the duties of 'Dead Soldier A'.
Dead soldier A paused outside the figure, and his tone was calm: "Father-in-law." ”
Father-in-law Jia's appearance may not have changed for decades in the past, his hands are folded and his eyes are half squinted, he looks at it a few times, and his tone is kind:
"A, the Holy Lord asked you to kill Empress Cui?"
"Yes, my father-in-law has already returned to his hometown, and he shouldn't be here."
"Hehe......"
Father-in-law Jia sighed and shook his head: "It's not done." In my life, I have accepted two righteous sons, and I used to think about teaching martial arts, but I didn't think about anything else. Now I retreated and returned to my hometown, I wanted to return to my roots, but I found that I couldn't die, and after thinking about it carefully, I found that I had done everything perfectly in this life, but I didn't do a good job......"
Dead Shijia listened quietly, indifferent to the tragic fighting sound in the distance, just waiting for Gonggong Jia to finish speaking.
“…… The righteous son is also a son, and he cannot fail to fulfill his responsibilities; Jia Yi is dead, just burying it can't be done, the only thing in his life is to protect Queen Cui, and it will be the same until death, but Queen Cui is not dead, so Jia Yi's business is not finished, I, as a father-in-law, have to help him finish it. ”
"Got it, father-in-law."
Dead Soldier A bowed, and then strode forward, two gold wires hanging from his sleeves, sweeping the leaves and weeds on the road, and then split in two in silence.
Father-in-law Jia sighed lightly, but he didn't say anything, after all, this righteous son was taught by him, everything is good, but he doesn't live like a person.
Phew-
In the woods where there is only starlight and no moonlight, the subtle but sharp sound of breaking wind is dense.
Four golden threads dance with the sleeves, like a needle and thread interspersed between the dense trees, the sand and gravel of the trees in front of the gold wire like tofu carving, the gold thread silently crosses between the trees, the trees do not fall, leaving only the fallen leaves that are divided in two like flying snow.
The two shadows were so fast that only afterimages remained, wandering in the forest, so fast that they were difficult to see, but they didn't even bring up the fluttering sound of their robes, making the scene look dead and weird.
Occasionally, two shadows passed by, and they were separated at the touch of a touch, and the strength did not leak out at all, and the ground did not even leave the suburbs.
Woooo
The subtle sound of pulling strings was dense, and the woods with a radius of ten feet gradually formed a golden net under the passage of two figures.
The speed is getting faster and faster, and under the blockade of the golden wire, there is less and less room to move.
As the two black shadows intersected more and more frequently, a slight wheezing sound could finally be heard, the gasping sound of running out of oil and the lamp was dry, and the wheezing sound was powerless.
Dead Shijia noticed that Jia Gonggong was powerless, but his eyes did not change at all. Unlike Jia Yi, Dead Shijia was brought up by Jia's father-in-law from a young age, and he was accompanied and carefully taught day and night until the day he took over Jia's father-in-law's position.
But none of this is meaningful, because since he can remember, he has no name, no friends, no prospects, and no feelings.
Dead soldier armor can be said to be the sword raised by Jia Gonggong, the sharpest sword in the world!
This should have been the masterpiece of Jia's father-in-law's life, but Jia's father-in-law couldn't be proud at this time; Because the sword is a dead thing, and a man is alive, it was wrong from the very beginning to raise his son as a weapon.
Father-in-law Jia was born in a small village in Liaodong, he may not remember his parents or the hometown, but after all, he came out of the 'home', when he was a child, he was also like the child in the small village in his hometown, standing on the edge of the courtyard dam, stupidly looking at the strangers passing by, stupidly may be a little stupid, but at that time he was still a person.
Back in the small village in Liaodong, Father-in-law Jia lay in the pit dug for himself, wanting to die but couldn't breathe, because he had lived a lifetime, and he didn't seem to have any regrets, but when he thought about it, he was full of regrets.
received two righteous sons, both of whom were dead soldiers, one of whom had developed a weapon, and the other who had been kept in the dark and became a fool, and he had no chance to live his life according to his own ideas like him.
Becoming a 'dead soldier A' was chosen by Father-in-law Jia himself, and in that era of hungry cannibalism, he found his way, and the 'Dead Soldier A' in front of him didn't even know what he was, this thing was obviously not right, Father-in-law Jia, as a father-in-law, should let him choose at least once.
Sassy –
The fight intensified, and the sound of robes waving gradually sounded in the woods.
Dead Shijia is still expressionless, like a machine, breaking moves, dismantling moves, attacking, moving, just right, no flaws, leaving no omission, like an unstoppable tide, slowly forcing his father-in-law who once taught him martial arts into a desperate situation, and even after ten moves, his father-in-law will die in front of him.
Jia's father-in-law has been immersed in martial arts for a lifetime, and he can also count these, but the same thing as the dead soldier A is that Jia's father-in-law is still a person.
When he was about to touch the golden thread behind his head, Father-in-law Jia sighed softly:
"There is an old saying in the rivers and lakes, called 'teach the apprentice, starve the master', so ......"
Bang –
When the words fell, the skinny Gonggong Jia's momentum suddenly changed, turning from soft to rigid, his upper body robe was torn apart, the bones all over his body 'clicked', and his thin five fingers turned into a pair of iron fists, smashing a bang in the air, touching the chest of the dead soldier.
Jia Gonggong has learned the 'mille-feuille miasma' all his life, and he has practiced to the end like a willow leaf with the wind, and he has no swords, fists and feet. But this is not focused, on the basis of their own prediction and speed faster than the opponent, when the speed and strength are so strong that they are fierce to a certain extent, they are all flesh and mortals are 100 catties of meat, how can there be no effort?
When he was in the Tang family, Xu Buling was able to beat back Father-in-law Jia, that is, he relied on 'surprise' and 'power to shock the dragon and tiger'; and Father-in-law Jia's old fists, which had never been revealed, almost squeezed everything that this body could squeeze dry, so fast and powerful, as long as it hit the chest and abdomen, it was no surprise that he could punch him with his bare hands.
There was still no expression in the eyes of the dead soldier, but he tried his best to block with his right hand, and his left hand turned into a hand knife to counterattack; After all, this is the only thing that can be done now, and it will be saved.
Boom –
After a muffled sound, the woods interspersed with golden wires fell silent, and two figures stood still.
Jia's shoulders rose and fell slightly, his fist stopped on the chest of the dead soldier, clinging to the fabric, and his eyes showed a little pride:
"How is it, how is the hand of the father-in-law?"
For the first time, there was an expression in the eyes of the dead soldier, but it was doubt, he looked at his left hand that was poured into his chest, and said calmly:
"Father-in-law, you have left your hand."
Grandpa Jia laughed, took two steps back, staggered against the big tree behind him, and raised his hand:
"You're dead, and the matter is done, from now on, learn to be a person, and when you learn, burn some paper money for me, and then burn some for your brother."
Dead Soldier stood in place, looking at the unscathed robe on his chest, and did not move for a long time.
"Let's go, dead soldiers, dead soldiers, it's enough to die once, people are raised by their fathers and mothers, how can they always live for others...... By the way, I forgot to give you a name, my father-in-law, my surname is Liu, you will be called Liu Fugui in the future, I also called this name back then, but it's a pity that I didn't live a day with this name......"
Father-in-law Jia read it in pieces, saying words that Dead Shijia had never heard.
After standing there for a moment, Dead Soldier Jia bowed slightly, turned and left the woods, walking outside. The pace was as calm as it had come, but the back was obviously a little dazed.
Father-in-law Jia leaned under the trunk of the tree, looked at Yizi in the distance, and smiled softly.
Cui Xiaowan, who the boss wants to protect, is fine, and the second child turns around, which means that he has become a human.
"That's it......"
Father-in-law Jia whispered softly, raising his eyes to look at the falling leaves in the starry sky.
I have watched the stars in the Taiji Hall for a lifetime, but tonight, it seems to be the closest one......
