Chapter 18: Black Sword Light, Red Sword Shadow (1)

"I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together..."

The carriage clattered down the still lively street.

Although it is night, the lights on the streets of Pingzhou on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival are still brilliant.

The black carriage drove out of Pingzhou City and headed towards the darkness in the distance.

The gate of Pingzhou on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is not closed, and it will be open until the next night.

Inside the carriage, a woman dressed in black, reciting the ancient nouns that had just been passed down from the Yu Garden Poetry Society.

Her name is Qin Elegy.

A month ago, I came to Pingzhou and entered Pingzhou Qinglou Ning Xiang Ju, relying on her outstanding appearance and outstanding dancing to quickly become the new Oiran of Ning Xiang Ju.

In the past month, many people have said that she is the only courtesan who can compete with Yanyu Pavilion Oiran Liu Qingyin.

But for these, Qin Elegy didn't care, she came to Pingzhou, just to find someone.

Tonight she was invited to meet someone at the poetry meeting, but the person disappeared halfway, and she received a message after dancing at the poetry party, and then she took her leave and left the poetry society.

"Is this really what Xiao Engong did?"

Qin Elegy looked at the paper with this poem written in his hand, and looked at a man in a night suit and a sword in his arms on the opposite side.

The man nodded, his tone as calm as water: "You asked me to wait for him there, I will chase you after he finished this song." ”

Qin Elegy was a little excited: "Then why don't you find a chance to meet him?" ”

"Not a chance." The man's face was expressionless: "After he finished speaking, he left Yu Garden with Zhao Hanyan, got into the carriage together, and returned to the Horse Mansion." And you forgot Master's explanation when we went south? Don't disturb him for the time being, just protect him secretly, in case your and I identities are exposed, it will also affect him. ”

"I haven't forgotten." Qin Elegy shook his head a little discouraged: "I just want him to know that in Pingzhou, he is not alone. ”

The man in black was still expressionless: "Don't worry, he is safe in Pingzhou now, until the death of General Zhang, Chen Xun has been staring at our Snow God Sect, Master said, don't let Chen Xun keep his eyes on him again." ”

"Zhao Yan wants him to stay in Pingzhou forever!" Qin Elegy sneered softly.

The man in black said: "In the past, he was rumored to be a fool, there was no threat to Zhao Yan or Chen Xun, Zhao Yan asked him to be a colt and spend this life in Pingzhou, whether it was for General Zhang or for the people of the world, it was a Ming Jun's doing, let him spend his life in Pingzhou, away from right and wrong, it is not bad." ”

"Hehe..."Qin Elegy let out a sneer again, his face was full of disdain for this Southern Chu Emperor Zhao Yan: "Now Xiao Engong is not a fool, if he knows, see how he ends." ”

"Kill again, to prevent future troubles." The man said in a deep voice.

Qin Elegy ignored his words, and continued to look at the poem in his hand: "I know, how can Engong be such a big man who stands up to the sky, how can he have a stupid son?" The rumors from the outside world are really not credible, Xiao Engong's talent is enough to be famous all over the world. ”

"It's not a good thing." The man answered.

"It doesn't matter if it's a good thing for him, we will be in Pingzhou in the future, just do our best to protect him."

Qin Elegy put away the poem, then changed the topic, and his eyes became serious: "Master Feige passed a book saying that those who followed us south have already found traces?" ”

The man nodded: "An hour ago, I received a message from people outside the city, saying that these people are now temporarily living in a ruined temple, probably going to enter Pingzhou tonight." ”

"Who are they?"

"Jianghu people, the leader is called Shi Guangshun, this person I know, Da Chongfu people, martial arts are good, make a pair of double knives, there is the title of sky-breaking knife in the rivers and lakes, he is merry by nature, three years ago, because of hooking up with Da Chongfu Yin's concubine, offended Da Chongfu Yin, sent someone to arrest him, he killed a few and ran away, no trace, I didn't expect him to appear here."

"Then Senior Brother Yuan is sure of him?" Qin Elegy asked.

The man named Senior Brother Yuan patted the scabbard in his arms, and his flat tone showed incomparable confidence: "He is not my opponent. ”

"That's good." Qin Elegy smiled reassuringly, then took out a black veil and put it on his face, covering the peerless face, and then took out a long sword from under the sleeping seat, opened it skillfully, glanced at the cold sword light, and then closed it: "Then the rest of the people will be handed over to me, as long as they are not from the imperial court, the people of the rivers and lakes are easy to deal with, just kill them." ”

……

In the woods ten miles away from Pingzhou City, there is a broken temple called Shili Temple.

At this time, a bonfire was lit in front of the dilapidated stone statue in the dilapidated temple.

Five people sat around, drinking wine and eating meat at the same time.

Among them, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is particularly conspicuous.

Even though he drank wine and ate meat at the same time, the two double knives in the crook of his arm were never put down.

A thin man on the opposite side took a bite of beef, and said to the man with a mouth full of oil: "Brother Shi, you said that if we can catch the person from the Snow God Sect who went south this time and go back to give that adult, what reward will we have?" ”

"The lord on Hedong Road said that if you can catch it, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold per person." The strong man replied in a deep voice.

The other man with a scar on his face and a pair of copper hammers beside him laughed and said, "One hundred taels of gold, I have never seen so much silver in my life." ”

Another somewhat fat man answered and said with a smile: "If you want to get the bounty, you have to have a life flower, didn't Brother Shi say it, the Snow God Sect may have come to Pingzhou this time Yuan Shen, the personal disciple of the Snow God Sect leader Xiao Ming, the martial arts are extraordinary, and it is not easy to catch him." ”

The last man who was a little bookish fanned a folding fan and smiled lightly: "Yuan Shen Jianghu is known as the Flying Frost Divine Sword, and his swordsmanship has reached its peak. ”

When the strong man named Brother Shi heard this, he snorted coldly.

The thin man hurriedly smiled and said, "Although Yuan Shen is powerful, Brother Shi's Heaven-Breaking Sword is not a vegetarian. ”

The fat man also answered: "Yes, yes, this time Brother Shi invited a few of our brothers to run this errand together, that is to treat us as brothers, if the brothers enjoy happiness together in the future, they will not forget Brother Shi's kindness." ”

While he was talking and laughing, Brother Shi's eyes suddenly opened, and half of the uneaten beef in his hand was thrown forward violently, and then he grabbed the double knives in the crook of his arm and shouted: "There is an enemy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, "Huh! With a bang, a white light galloped from outside the temple, hitting the beef hard, cutting the beef in half, and then the residual momentum continued unabated, and hit the stone statue again, submerging into it.

When the dust on the stone statue cleared, the five of them were shocked to find that it was a green leaf.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the temple, and a man in black walked in with a sword in his hand, looking at the five people with an indifferent expression: "Heaven-breaking Sword Stone Guangshun, Hedong Four Ghosts, Ghost-faced Lang Jiang Yi, Ghost-faced Buddha Qi Rong, Ghost-faced Jun Fan Yu, Ghost-faced scholar Yan Zhangpu." ”

"Flying Frost Divine Sword, Yuan Shen." Seeing him, the strong man with two swords changed his gaze.

"You're not looking for me! I'm also looking for you, following us all the way to Pingzhou from the north, it's been more than a month, it's not easy. The man in black spoke indifferently.

Feeling the murderous aura all over his body, the thin man Jiang Yi looked vigilant, the scarred man Fan Yu hurriedly grabbed the copper hammer beside him, the fat man Qi Rong also pulled out the sword at his waist, and the scholar Yan Zhangpu also put away the folding fan.

As the saying goes, it's better to be famous than to meet.

Everyone was still ridiculing Yuan Shen just now, but once the real person appeared, the fear in his heart was still obvious.

This is oppression from strength.

Yuan Shen is the personal disciple of Xiao Ming, the leader of the Snow God Sect, and since the Snow God Sect became famous in the rivers and lakes a year ago, the reputation of this sect leader for his strong martial arts and ruthlessness has spread all over the rivers and lakes.

One night to destroy the ten owners of the Penghu Eighteen Villages in the territory of Jingdong East Road, the Eighteen Villages of Penghu are a grass force in the territory of Jingdong East Road, gathering many people in the rivers and lakes who have fallen into the grass, lying in Penghu for many years, the Eighteen Villages have been in the same breath, because of geographical factors, the government has not succeeded in encirclement and suppression. At the beginning of this year, this Xiao Ming Sect Master took more than a dozen people from the Snow God Sect, and killed thousands of people in the entire eighteen villages in one night, exterminated ten village masters, and finally retreated, shocking the rivers and lakes.

As a result, the original eighteen villages have now become eight villages, and the other eight village owners have divided and incorporated the forces of the remaining ten.

As Xiao Ming's personal disciple, Yuan Shen also participated in this operation that time, and since then, the Flying Frost Divine Sword has been famous.

Now seeing this Yuan Shen standing in front of him, how can these four ghosts in Hedong not be timid. (Ask for collection)
