Chapter 56: The Swordsman

Chen Cheng resorted to "blocking the counter", but Wang Yue was one of the people with the highest swordsmanship in Luoyang City, and he could still withdraw his sword to block when it was impossible. But he hurriedly returned to defense, and the strength in his hand was insufficient, and the Han Sword was pressed down by the "Seven Star Treasure Knife", and the blade slashed at his shoulder.

"Poof," the blade entered his body, and blood suddenly stained his clothes red.

"Hey, you're proficient enough!" Chen Cheng said something that was difficult for the other party to understand, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and pressed down hard. Wang Yue's hands were struggling, he couldn't bear his strange strength, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees on the wooden floor on the second floor.

Chen Cheng stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Tell me who sent you, and I'll let you go." ”

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and said: "How can Wang be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Really?"

Chen Cheng added more strength to his hand, Wang Yue's face changed drastically, and he rolled to the side, and the blade had already cut through his chest. With blood pouring out, he crashed through the window lattice and rolled down the street. Seeing someone fall covered in blood, there was a commotion on the street, and passers-by avoided it.

"Hey, the swordsmanship is good." Chen Cheng stood by the window, watching the other party run away in a hurry with his chest pressed, and the negative emotions in his heart were swept away, "I want to see where you can run!" ”

He didn't want to entangle with the soldiers of the Southern Army who were about to rush over to check, so he threw nine copper plates on the ground and shouted, "Shopkeeper, settle the bill!" ”

Anyway, he didn't care whether the boss heard it or not, ran straight to the stable, untied the reins of Gollum, then turned on his horse and chased him out. On the minimap, the red dots of light are constantly moving. Chen Cheng followed behind unhurriedly, although he was far away and didn't see it directly, as long as the other party didn't run out of two miles, he could always lock Wang Yue's position.

Blood poured out of the wounds, wetting the clothes. Wang Yue endured the severe pain and moved quickly through the crowd. Relying on the familiarity of the ground, after many detours, he quickly slipped into a small alley and staggered into the prepared hideout.

As soon as he entered, he tore off a piece of cloth and prepared to wrap the wound, but his movements stopped abruptly, and he shouted into the house, "What kind of person is sneaky? Get out! ”

Pan Yin pressed his sword out, followed by four armor soldiers. He looked at Wang Yue, who was covered in blood, shook his head, and said disappointedly: "Look at you like this, did you miss it?" ”

Wang Yue hurriedly wrapped the wound and said, "It's the target that's too powerful!" His strength is too great, and he doesn't feel like a person at all! ”

"It's all about making excuses for yourself." Pan Yin sighed and said, "That's sorry." ”

Wang Yue picked up the sword and sneered: "Could it be that you want to kill people and kill people?" ”

Pan Yin stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Brother Wang is really a smart person, I originally planned to wait for you to kill that person before looking for a chance to get rid of you." But looking at you now, tsk, you don't have to wait until later. ”

He said regretfully: "Your swordsmanship is also unique in the world, but you still failed to kill Chen Cheng, it seems that his life is still ending." ”

Pan Yin's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted, "Kill him!" ”

The four armorers had already drawn their knives in their hands, and at this time they surrounded them together. Pan Yin smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I'll go first." You and I have a good relationship, and I will prepare a few glasses of thin wine later, and pay tribute to you. ”

With that, he took a few steps back, turned and left through the front door.

The four armor soldiers are all warriors in the army, not only well-armed, but also excellent in martial arts, and skillful in cooperation. Even when Wang Yue is victorious, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body, let alone now?

Facing the enemy who was slowly approaching, Wang Yue gritted his steel teeth and said hatefully: "If a certain family does not die, it will definitely avenge today!" ”

One of the armorers laughed, "Then it seems that you can't get revenge." ”

Another also said: "You are already seriously injured and you are not wearing armor, how can you be our opponent?" Kill yourselves, so that you do not suffer. ”

Wang Yue held the sword in both hands and said with a gloomy face: "If you want the life of a certain family, just come and get it!" But wanting me to kill myself is wishful thinking! ”

The four armorers winked at each other, shouted, and rushed up together.

Wang Yue rolled to the ground, and the Han sword stabbed out, hitting a person in the calf, and the man fell to the ground with a scream. The other three didn't blink, didn't care whether their companion was alive or dead, and chased him and slashed him. He was very familiar with the furnishings in the yard, and when he had injured one person, he ran straight to the edge of the pond.

After only a few steps, the wound burst open, and blood trickled down. He ran to the edge of the pond with his legs in pain, and was about to jump, but suddenly turned back and stabbed a sword. The three people who chased him didn't expect him to suddenly turn back, and carelessly, the man in the middle was hit with a sword in the door, and immediately bled and fell to the ground.

The two people on the side slashed at each other, Wang Yue swung his sword to block, and when the battle was not long, he was slashed on the arm again. In the splash of blood, he also rose up and killed one person again. The last of the remaining people were shocked, panicked, and took two steps back. The armor soldier gasped, looking at Wang Yue, who was covered in blood but murderous, and hesitated.

He carefully moved his steps from side to side, and asked tentatively, "You are so badly injured that you are almost unable to stand on your feet, right?" ”

Wang Yue said coldly: "It's enough to kill you." ”

The armor laughed dryly twice and said, "We are all doing things with money, so why bother each other? Or that's all for today? I'll turn around and leave, and you'll act as if it didn't happen, how about it? ”

Wang Yue looked at him coldly and didn't say a word.

The armor slowly stepped back and said, "Then I'll go first." ”

He took two steps back and turned around to leave, but suddenly let out a loud shout, his body rushed forward instead, and the ring head knife stabbed Wang Yue in the chest. Wang Yue didn't dodge or dodge, he lifted the Han sword and stabbed him head-on.

"Poof", "poof". After two soft sounds, Wang Yue and the armor soldier both fell to the ground, but he could still sit up and legend, but the armor soldier was pierced through the heart and could no longer move.

He was leaning against the pillar, and the ring head knife on his right chest had not yet been pulled off, and he could see that he was exhaling more and taking in less. The armorer who had been hit by the sword in the leg limped up to him and sneered, "You kid is very good at fighting, aren't you?" In the end, it's not about eating this knife? ”

With a face full of anger, the armor slowly raised the ring-headed sword, intending to torture his opponent with it. Wang Yue raised his head weakly, looked at the other party, and smiled softly.

The armor soldier raised the knife high, and when he saw that Wang Yue was still laughing until he died, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he was furious and shouted, "What are you laughing at? ”

"I laughed at you for raising a butcher's knife at me, but I didn't know that someone was pointing a knife at you in the back."

The armor sneered: "At this time, he is still taking advantage of his tongue!" Would you be foolish enough to fall for you? ”

Wang Yue said weakly: "Don't you know when you look back yourself?" ”

Suddenly there was a strong wind behind him, and the armor was about to turn back in shock, but where did it come from? A sword flashed, and his head flew out.

The headless body knelt down, and blood sprayed Wang Yue's face. He grinned and sighed, "I said there was someone behind you, why don't you believe it?" ”

Chen Cheng didn't speak, and wiped the blood stains on the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" by himself.

Wang Yue sighed twice more and said, "Let's do it." ”

"You don't need me to do it, you'll be dead yourself in a few moments." Chen Cheng pointed his knife at the center of the other party's eyebrows, and seeing that the other party did not have the slightest fear on his face, he smiled and said: "You can still kill three people under serious injuries, no wonder you dare to call yourself the number one swordsman in the capital." It would be a shame for a warrior like you to die like this. ”

"Hehe, it's a pity," Wang Yue said miserably: "I have always wanted to be a marquis and pay homage to the general, but I have long been prepared for such an ending." Isn't it normal for people like us to die under the sword? ”

"People like us?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "If you are willing to follow me, you don't have to die." ”

"Do I have any choice?"

Wang Yue's voice became lower and lower, "I'm just unwilling......."

"A wandering swordsman has joined your ranks."

The white subtitle appeared in the lower left corner of the field of vision, Chen Cheng stepped forward, pressed Wang Yue's chest, covered the handle of the ring head knife, and then pulled it out, and the dirty blood spurted out with the drawing of the blade.

As if he had slept for a long time, his consciousness floated from the warm bottom of the sea, Wang Yue gradually woke up, he opened his eyes, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and was stunned for a while before he remembered everything that happened before. He hurriedly looked over his chest, only to see that his arm and chest had been bandaged, the pain in the wound had weakened a lot, and there was a cold feeling.

Chen Cheng walked over and said, "It's good that you're awake, otherwise, I don't know where to put you." ”

He said to Wang Yue: "If you don't have a place to go tonight, I will take you to the Yue cavalry camp at the foot of the Beibi Mountain." ”

Wang Yue turned over and stood up, the four corpses in the courtyard were still there, and the smell of blood still hung over the land. He squeezed his palm in surprise, although it was still a little weak, but this strength should not be the right for a seriously injured person.

He was shocked in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I have my own place to go, you don't have to worry." ”

"That's fine, you stay outside for a few days. If you want to join the army, I can also find a way to arrange it for you. Chen Cheng smiled and said, "If you want to leave, then I won't stop you." ”

Wang Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Don't you want to ask who sent me to kill you now?" ”

"I've killed a lot of people, and I've been killed.... Hunted down many times. If you want to say it, I can't ask for it. But if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. ”

Chen Cheng said: "What I hate the most is being persecuted, as the saying goes: do not do to others what you would not do to yourself, so I will not force you to say it." ’

Wang Yue closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then opened them again after a while, and said, "On the bright side, it is Sima Panyin under Jian Shuo's command who ordered me to kill you. ”

"Since there is something on the surface, then there is something in the dark?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "I'm not sure who the person who is secretly masterminding him is, but I have followed Pan Yin and seen him secretly enter and leave the general's mansion. ”

Chen Cheng's brows furrowed, and he asked, "He's a big man, right?" How can it be linked to the general? Could it be that Jian Shuo secretly teamed up with He Jin? No, it doesn't make sense, and it can't be. ”

He took a few steps back and forth and asked, "You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" ”

Wang Yue said in a low voice: "Even if I want to say it to others, someone must dare to listen." ”

Chen Cheng's eyes flickered, and he said, "Are you very good at secretly stalking others?" ”

Wang Yue said softly: "I'm just doing dirty work, just talking about tracking and assassination, there are not many people in the entire Luoyang City who can beat me." ”

Speaking of this, he saw that Chen Cheng had a different expression on his face, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "I missed today because your martial arts are too strong, you can't blame me!" ”

Wang Yue emphasized: "In the past three years, I have missed this time!" ”

Chen Cheng said: "Well, then can you help me spy on someone?" It would be better to see with which ministers he was connected and with which generals he led troops. ”

Wang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "How long will it take?" ”

He said a little embarrassedly: "Can you give me an official to do after this thing is done?" ”

Chen Cheng was a little speechless, you just came back from the death line, don't say that you have a big understanding, don't be so obsessed. He thought for a while and said, "As long as it takes a month, after doing it, I will arrange for you to enter the Northern Army Yue Cavalry Battalion!" ”

Wang Yue said in a low voice: "Then who do you need me to monitor?" ”

Chen Cheng said a name, and then asked, "Do you remember?" ”

Wang Yue repeated it and said, "I remember." ”
