Chapter 44: Doing It for Itself (138/449)
The night rain poured over the stone bridge.
Xu Buling pointed diagonally at the ground with his long sword in his hand, and the rain slipped from the blade, his gaze extremely cautious and focused.
The black shadow was not lightly injured by that punch, but his hands did not tremble in the slightest, and he took out another dagger from his waist, bowed like a cheetah ready to attack, staring at Xu Buling.
"You can't kill me, why don't you leave?"
Xu Buling's chest turned over, but his eyes did not change, just staring at each other lightly.
If the black shadow wants to leave, he has already left after being knocked off the stone bridge, since he has not left, it must be endless, at this time there is no half a word, and his toes move slightly.
Xu Buling's eyes froze, and he made a preemptive strike in advance, but he never thought that there was another string sound behind him, and he came straight to his waist.
Fang had already seen the power of this thing, and Xu Buling immediately turned his sword and slashed at his back.
At this moment, the black shadow stepped on the stone bridge with both feet, and the whole person turned into an afterimage, two daggers to Xu Buling's throat and heart, the speed was incredible.
Ning Yuhe exclaimed, she didn't expect this killer to be so cunning, the sword slashed backwards and the middle door was wide open, and it was difficult for the assassin who wanted to block all her strength to ascend to the sky, and she couldn't help it.
At the last moment, Xu Buling once again threw his long sword to block the iron line behind him, clenched his fists with both hands and accurately supported the black shadow's wrist, and his shoulder directly crashed into the black shadow's arms, and knocked it out with a slap.
Xu Buling went all out without sparing the slightest hand, this time it is not something that ordinary people can resist.
The black shadow spurted out a mouthful of blood on the face towel, and the whole person flew out upside down again, but the tip of the shoe kicked Xu Buling's neck in mid-air, and a sharp blade popped out of the top of the boot.
Xu Buling's reaction was extremely fast, he didn't have greed to follow up and mend the knife, he quickly dodged sideways, and the tip of his shoe passed under his neck dangerously, and half a minute later was the end of being cut throat.
Bang –
The black shadow broke a few more guardrails, but still stabbed the bridge with a dagger and flipped up, standing in the rain and staring at Xu Buling.
Xu Buling's forehead was full of cold sweat, and he would have killed if it weren't for him standing here today, I'm afraid he would have died more than a dozen times, and the opponent was a little unbelievable.
But after all, people are not beaten by iron, and there are almost no people in the world who can stand after being hit twice.
The black shadow had obviously reached the end of the strong crossbow, holding the dagger and his body undulated, and after a little hesitation, he rushed forward again, but unfortunately as soon as he ran two steps, the whole person fell to the ground, and the dagger fell out.
Up to this point, the shadow didn't make a sound.
Xu Buling wiped the cold sweat and rain on his forehead with his sleeve, picked up the umbrella from the ground and stretched it out, walked closer carefully, and looked down:
"Who are you? Who sent you? ”
Ning Yuhe saw the opponent lying down, so he trotted over to him, his face was pale, and his heart palpitated.
The black shadow was slender like a woman, lying on the rain-soaked stone bridge, and after a moment of silence, he coughed twice and opened his mouth for the first time:
"Don't go to Changxingcang, there are assassins in ambush, more powerful than me."
Xu Buling and Ning Yuhe frowned when they heard this, and they didn't believe the assassin's words at all, not because they didn't believe that there were assassins in Changxingcang, but because they didn't believe that there were assassins in the world who were more powerful than this woman.
There are probably few people who can beat Xu Buling with cold sweat on his forehead in the whole world.
The dark shadow's voice was low, and after saying that, he was speechless, and closed his eyes and waited for death.
Xu Buling felt that the voice was a little familiar, hesitated for a moment, picked up the sword and held it in his hand, squatted down in front of the woman, and raised his hand to pull away the black cloth that covered his face.
The woman obviously wanted to struggle, but she couldn't muster up her strength anymore, and after showing her cheeks, her eyes showed a bit of pleading:
"One person does things and one person does it, it has nothing to do with my daughter, the son preaches morality, it's enough to kill me."
Ning Yuhe looked at Meng Hua and was slightly stunned, but he was not too surprised, after all, it is too common for people in the rivers and lakes to hide in the market. just remembered that this kind-looking proprietress had a little girl, and I couldn't help but feel nervous:
"Meng Hua, why are you?"
Meng Hua did not speak.
Xu Buling frowned and thought for a while: "Knowing that I preach morality, why did you come to kill me?" Have a grudge against me? ”
Meng Hua's breathing was weak: "I didn't want to kill you at first, but then I couldn't beat you." Otherwise, you will be seriously wounded at least one. ”
Xu Buling had no doubts about this sentence. Just now he heard the sound of a trap, and the direction of the iron line was the back of the chest, even if it was hit, it was equivalent to being slashed, and he couldn't die. It's really murderous, and it's obviously more appropriate to aim the iron wire at the neck and calf, and it's more difficult to dodge.
However, slashing him for no reason is obviously not worthy of forgiveness, and this explanation is obviously not good.
"Looking at Fang Cai's means, you should be a ghost girl. has retired incognito, a family of three and Hemeimei, why did they come out to die? What will happen to your daughter in the future? ”
Ning Yuhe's mother died in the hands of the Tang family, knowing how painful it was to lose her relatives, eating in the small shop, and really envious of the small days when Meng Hua and her daughter opened a shop together, at this time I thought about it, and interjected:
"Ling'er, forget it, the ghost lady is a chivalrous man, and the people she kills are corrupt officials and corrupt officials......"
Xu Buling raised his hand to stop it, and said softly:
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people; The little one of chivalry is a friend and a neighbor. I think I have a clear conscience in what I have done, why should I be killed by a knight, not to mention that I am the prince of Su, you use a knife against me, and you want to punish the nine clans. ”
Meng Hua was silent for a while, and looked at Xu Buling: "My father-in-law has a relationship with Da Yinglou, and he is obsessed, you spare his life, I owe you a personal favor, and I will pay you back in the next life." ”
When Xu Buling heard this, he understood the reason a little and thought about it:
"You're so powerful, why don't you stop your father-in-law from dying?"
"He doesn't know who I am, and I don't want him to know, it's not easy now...... I've already retired from the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to step into it again, and I don't want the girl to know that her mother has killed someone...... I have killed many corrupt officials, and I know where they hide their silver......"
"Do you think I want silver?"
“……”
Meng Hua was silent, hesitated for a long time, and then said softly:
"My father and mother are dead, and there will be no one to take care of the girl......"
Ning Yuhe pursed his lips and gently pushed Xu Buling's shoulder: "We're fine, we have to be forgiving and ...... forgiving."
Xu Buling shook his head: "I'm not a good person, whoever dares to point a knife at me today will definitely dare to kill me tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will dare to kill my whole family, so all the people who used the knife against me died." You don't have murderous intentions, you dare to do it, you tell me about your father-in-law's ambush, I will preach morality, let you live one, you choose. ”
"Ling'er!"
Ning Yuhe was obviously a little angry, and raised his hand to push Xu Buling.
Meng Hua didn't hesitate: "Let him live, Gongzi scares him, don't let him break into the rivers and lakes, he can't walk this road, his nature is not bad." ”
Xu Buling nodded, took out the small bottle from his arms, and poured out a pill:
"This is the Lock Dragon Gu, it can make you recover from your injuries in a short time, but you will die of poison in a year, you eat it, I will let you go and let your family of three reunite for a while."
Meng Hua took a few breaths, raised her hand vigorously, stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it:
"Thank you for your kindness."
"What weapon do you use?"
"The ring head knife, the length of the knife is three feet six. Hidden on the ridge of the second house in Changxingcang. ”
Xu Buling sighed, stood up and walked down the stone arch bridge, thought about it, and turned around and said:
"If the husband is disobedient, just beat him, it's better than a broken family, you can do it yourself."
Ning Yuhe was a little unbearable, but he had no choice but to leave with Xu Buling.
The night rain continued, and the stone bridge was quiet.
The figure lying on the ground coughed a few times, and after a long time, he slowly got up, picked up the dagger on the ground, thought about it, threw it into the river again, and slowly disappeared into the night......
