Chapter 2 Begins with an Arrow
After Master Ji heard the voice, the thin needle that was already about to be pierced out in the shadow of the half-opened door was hurriedly put away, and in the few breaths that opened the door, it was slowly put away, and the old face with no doubt on the old age was still looking at the bitter wood standing at the door with that kind smile.
Kumu still has that cold face, but unlike last time, his breathing is a little short, although his expression is still cold and arrogant, but it also reveals a little panic, and the most important thing is that last time his saber was obviously pinned to his waist and not completely pulled out, and this time his saber was held by him with one hand with the sword, and the other hand held the scabbard tightly, as if he had just fought with someone, especially the tip of the sword There were still a few drops of Yin Hong's blood faintly stained on the tip of the sword, all of which proved, Kumu had just dealt with someone before he hurriedly came to visit Zhou Budo safely.
"Kumu, what are you? Got a fight? Seeing this, Master Ji naturally guessed something, and this half-hundred-year-old man showed a rare cautious and calm look, frowned and continued to ask, "Which side is the force?" Tiance Mansion? Or are they the imperial history? ”
Kumu's cold expression pondered for a while, and when he heard this, he shook his head one after another, and replied in an unclear tone, "No, that person uses archery, I still feel evenly matched after thirty rounds of fighting with that person, if I continue to fight, I don't have the confidence to take down that person and then retreat, and as far as I know, I have either fought with them or fought with them face-to-face, and I know a little bit about their paths, and today's sneak attack on my person does not make me feel familiar."
After hearing this, Master Ji's face changed for a while, and he said to himself, "It shouldn't be... It's not the Tiance Mansion or the people of the Imperial History, is it..."Master Ji's words stopped, his pupils shrank, it seemed that he already had some guesses of his own, but he quickly adjusted back, continued to look at Kumu, and said, "Sneak attack?" Where did you fight that man, and the blood on your sword was yours? ”
"An alley in the city, not far from here, is also a long-abandoned place, I have lived there for a few days, but today when I was about to go out, I suddenly sensed a sound in the distance, and quickly dodged and stood behind the stone wall in the courtyard, and then the person in the distance saw me hiding behind the stone wall, and knew that the arrow of the sneak attack did not work for me, so he directly came to the courtyard to fight with me, oh, the man was masked when he fought with me, and it was dark at that time, I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but except for his arrow, His dagger is also good, as for the blood on my sword, it is naturally that person" Kumu said in a flat tone about the process of his fight at that time, but he still continued uncertainly, "That person's moves are a bit like Jingo"
"Kingo.... Sure enough, that's right," Master Ji muttered to himself
"Huh?" Hearing this, Kumu frowned and looked at Master Ji
Master Ji smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a guess after all, besides, how many people can fight with you in the entire Nanli Country, and you won't fall behind?" When the time comes, you can find out after a slow investigation."
Seeing that Master Ji seemed to have his own guess but did not have the idea of telling him, Kumu snorted coldly, and said with some resentment, "I suspect that person is plotting against Childe."
Master Ji naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Kumu's tone, but he could only smile bitterly, he didn't plan to tell Kumu about these things during this time period, otherwise Kumu's temperament, no one could say what he would do that was frightening, but when he heard that someone would plot against Zhou Budo
"What? Are you saying that these people might do something to the son? ”
Kumu glanced at Zhou Budo, who was still confused in the room, and said softly, "It's just my guess."
Master Ji can take care of this, in his eyes, the order he received is to protect the safety of the son, even if it is just a guess, he can't be allowed to think slowly, I saw him quickly withdraw and walk back, and said solemnly to the bitter wood standing at the door as he walked, "Even if it's just a guess, that's a possibility, I can't let the prince stay in this dangerous environment anymore, I have to bring the prince back to the capital overnight and entrust it to that person, so that the son can be safe."
After saying this, Master Ji helped Zhou Budo, who was still puzzled and didn't know what was going on, to find a few clothes from his package, and helped Zhou Budo, who was still in his legs and feet and was seriously injured, to get dressed
And just after Master Ji helped Zhou Budo get dressed, he saw Kumu, who had been standing at the door of the house like a guard, suddenly turned to face the courtyard and said to Master Ji in the house in a deep voice
"I'm afraid it's too late"
"They're already here"
Master Ji hurriedly walked to the door, and he could see that on the eaves of this long-abandoned courtyard, by the wall, just his pair of cloudy eyes could see more than ten black-clothed people in uniform dress, all carrying quivers and holding bows and arrows, standing on it, without saying a word, and several of them had already bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Kumu and Master Ji
Kumu's cold eyes swept towards these black-clothed men, the hand holding the hilt of the sword had already been raised, and the cold and proud expression had not changed in any way because of the number of black-clothed men
"These people, I'll block them, you take your son and run out later, isn't there a rumor that your Ji Wuying's light skills are unparalleled in the world? It's time for me to see it with my own eyes," Kumu said to Master Ji as he paced to the front of Master Ji and looked sideways at Master Ji
Ji Wuying, the old man known as Master Ji, opened his mouth and stopped talking, but the worried look on his face made Kumu understand what he was thinking, so Kumu chuckled rarely
"Don't worry, there are only more than ten people, you should have seen my strength many times, these people, it's just a little hard to clean up, you take the son to take the first step, I will come later, we will meet again in the capital"
As soon as the words fell, Kumu threw the scabbard to Master Ji, holding the sword in his left hand, and one leg was lightly vertical, and the qi that burst out at this moment shook the floor slightly, and on the other hand, it was the incredibly fast sword blade, as if it could pierce time
As the saying goes, swordsmanship, if you follow the trend, the strong can make people have no time to react like traveling through time, and if you stab against the trend, it will be as frightening as the brilliant sky
And Kumu's sword changed moves one after another at this moment, one moment to do a chopping style from the left, and another time to change the tip of the sword through the chest and abdomen arc to pierce the style, and finally the left arm and the tip of the sword turned into one, stabbing straight at a person
For the more than ten black-clothed people, they were as if they had seen an ancient god at this moment
And just before they could react, the sword blade had arrived, killing one person in an instant
Ji Wuying took advantage of this moment, hugged Zhou Budo tightly with one hand, and used his skillful footwork like a dragonfly to step on the sword shadow that Kumu had just left, and the sword qi that changed his moves quickly and quickly retreated
And at this moment, Kumu was not idle, although the man in black reacted and prepared to divide into two groups, one of which was about to go to chase and kill Ji Wuying, but the people had not moved, Kumu's sword was so sharp that this group of people in black was just about to retreat to avoid the blade, and it was this group of people in black who was stunned, and one of the men in black in the other group shot an arrow with a bow, and it was already shot, and the arrow was directed to Ji Wuying, who could see the figure from a distance before he was far away
can
Kumu dodged there, picked up his sword, shot down the arrow that was supposed to shoot Ji Wuying, and then stabbed out with a sword, killing one person again
In just a dozen breaths, Kumu slashed two people one after another with great speed, and an arrow flew away, which already shocked these black-clothed people
"Smack, smack, smack"
The applause came from a high platform, and Kuki stared at it, his eyes full of wariness, because he had just noticed that there was still someone there
"Should I say that I am worthy of being the first swordsman in Nanli? Qingtan, they are compared to you, and the sword edge alone will fall down."
The high platform does not show the figure and reflection of people, it is really only the voice of the person who hears it, but the voice is slightly gentle, it seems that it should be a woman
"Hmph, what, are you going to go down and have a few tricks with me?"
Kumu didn't look at the remaining dozen black-clothed people around him, just looked at the high platform, his unruly look and the tip of the sword pointed straight at the high platform, he had already guessed that the mysterious person hiding on the high platform must be the person who attacked him today
"We've had enough hands today, and the thirty rounds of kendo have benefited the little girl a lot, and it will take a while to break it, hahaha"
On the high platform, the woman shot an arrow, which was nailed to the floor where Kumu stood, and the arrow had already penetrated three points into the floor
But Kumu's face still did not change, but the chill in his eyes became more and more deep
"You're really not interesting, but it seems that the kid has been taken away by Old Man Ji today, so there's nothing to fight anymore, in this case"
"We'll see you next time"
As soon as the words fell, the black-clothed people who were originally surrounding Kumu all performed light skills and walked away one by one, and as for the two dead corpses, they were also taken away
After a moment, after Kumu repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around, he left to chase after Ji Wuying and the others
