Chapter 63: The Backhand Sword
I've seen those who find faults, and I've seen horizontal ones, but in other people's buildings, drinking other people's wine, hugging other people's girls, when the guests and hosts are happy, they have to collect debts when they turn their faces, or are they the debts of the Qingshui Cabinet Fang betting on the dark disk and dragging them to five, are there such Sven people? Are there such guests?
I was most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, and everyone present didn't dare to breathe, even Ulan in Cui Hanzhang's arms was stunned, and she couldn't understand the young man in front of her more and more.
The sound of broken doors and windows suddenly sounded, breaking the quiet atmosphere, everyone looked up and looked around, only to see a figure in the private room near the corridor on the second floor broke the window and fell out of the window, and fell in the center of the hall with a roll, before everyone could see the appearance of this uninvited guest, there were two men in black who chased and jumped down, and the dagger in their hands was particularly conspicuous under the light of the hall, and the two cautiously looked around the hall and quietly buried the dagger behind their waists.
Cui Hanzhang was the first to react, and saw that the person who fell was Xu Qingfeng, with many scratches on his body.
"Qingfeng, what are you doing recklessly, come and drink two drinks with me."
Xu Qingfeng heard the commander call him, so he walked behind Cui Hanzhang in three steps and two steps, leaned over and said in his ear: "My subordinates overheard that there were Hu people plotting in a room on the fourth floor, and I never wanted to be discovered by the secret guards, so I chased them all the way here." ”
"How's the injury? Has Brother Xuan ever been with you? ”
"It's just a little bit of skin, and it's out of the way. As soon as Brother Xuan went up to the second floor, he was separated from his subordinates, and he didn't know where the cat went. ”
"Sit down and drink, and watch how the Commander collects his debts."
"The subordinates see that this Mingjin Building is heavily guarded everywhere, and the guards are killing hands everywhere, it is not just as simple as the Qinglou, do you want your subordinates to get off the boat to mobilize people."
"Don't worry, with Lingwu Hou with you, Mingjin Mansion won't be able to leave Taikang City tonight." Cui Hanzhang patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down and rest with peace of mind, thinking that he was the military department Sima who held real power, and was in charge of the defense of Taikang City, so it was natural to temporarily transfer the warships of the Longyuan River Naval Division.
Because the two of them used military code language in key places, even if Ulan was close at hand, most of the content could not be understood. Qingfeng also saw the beautiful woman in the commander's arms, as if he was frowning, and there was a shadow of a beard between the eyebrows and eyes, but it was the first time he saw that the commander was interested in women.
Counting Bai Yanqiu and the guards, although a total of five of them got on the boat, but since Ming Jinlou anchored and pulled out, there were sailor warships blocking the waters within a hundred miles, and there were ranger army camps on the shore to follow synchronously.
It's just that at this moment, they have no evidence, and second, they haven't found the black fire thunder, and the impact of rash action is too great, and the offended forces will join forces to retaliate, even Cui Hanzhang of Jane in the emperor's heart can't resist it.
Cui Hanzhang still remembers the broken thoughts of the master when he was in Qianyanzhou, the flowing water does not compete for the first, and the competition is endless, and it will flow forever. Whether it's Chili Street or Fengsheng Hutong, the more muffled you look, the more you can't be underestimated, and you can't be afraid that one day people will jump up and bite you to death.
Bai Yanqiu threw an olive branch, he couldn't help but take it, although the Lingwu Hou lineage is thin but not weak, on the contrary, after this battle, Bai Yanqiu's participation in the military aircraft is already a sure thing, the younger generation He is considered to be an early ascendant, the court situation is treacherous, and the more allies the better.
Bai Yanqiu, this kid usually doesn't have a straight line, but at the critical moment, he is never ambiguous, his words are not rough, and he can't make the road narrower and narrower, tonight he is the same as Mingjin Building, that is a person on a boat, of course, he can be regarded as a real ally if he does not capsize the boat.
On the other side, the two black-clothed guards also retreated behind Huang Wanli, bowed their eyebrows and whispered: "The subordinates found a suspicious person, sneakily eavesdropping on the deliberations in the building, and chased them all the way here." ”
"Elder Huang, do you think you need to gather your brothers to take him down?"
"Shut up, can't you see what this scene is? Lingwu Hou and Tanhualang came together, what a big deal. Huang Wanli raised his hand to stop his words, and reprimanded him with displeasure.
"Huang Lao, there must be a demon when things go wrong, the slave and maid always feel that Tanhualang is not good at coming this time, Xu Bald had an accident last night, and Jin San and Xu He have all disappeared, and the people who trespassed on the Dizi Courtyard before have not yet found out, and this will run out again, it is difficult to guarantee that there are other ill-intentioned people." The beautiful maid Qingyao fanned the flames on the side.
Huang Wanli was in the game without knowing it, and was confused by the names of the first-class Lingwu Marquis and the Eight Horses of Shenguang Tanhualang, and drank a lot of meat and eight vegetables. was a suspicious person, but now he was reminded that looking back at tonight was indeed a bit abnormal, he brushed his long beard: "Pass the order, send more people to check the faces, and at the same time pass the news to the Tianzi Academy." ”
"Qing Yao go and arrange it, hurry up and let the people from the north get off the boat, Mingjinlou is doing business, but I don't want to lose my head."
"What about the Ulan girl? She ......"
"She is a person from Tianzi Academy, let's take a step at a time, no one in Mingjin Building can take away the people of Tianzi Academy casually." Huang Wanli squinted his eyes and looked at Cui Hanzhang and Xu Qingfeng on the other side, bowed his head and whispered, and said slowly.
Just when the two groups of people were whispering, Bai Yanqiu and Xin Wanyu took the lead in toasting everyone present: "Don't be busy calculating the accounts of the two, Ben Hou proposes to drink this cup full, let's have some exciting projects." ”
"Hou Ye, didn't he also come to write a poem?" There is no size in the wine, these gentlemen are too drunk, and they dare to ridicule Lingwu Hou without a door.
"Hey......" Bai Yanqiu smiled and waved his hand.
"With Cui Tanhua Zhuyu in front, Ben Hou will not be ashamed."
"First there are three girls to cooperate in a song, and then there is Tanhualang improvised a poem, civil and military have not been separated since ancient times, how about we have a martial arts competition?"
"Meet friends with martial arts, Bai Houye's ideas are creative, Huang is not talented, there is a sword idiot under him, I don't know if Tanhualang is willing to point out?" Huang Wanli deliberately called Cui Hanzhang's Jin Liang, and said that he shined in the Northern Expedition, but hearing is false, and seeing is believing. As soon as he finished speaking, a man flew in, standing with a sword in both hands.
"The old man is presumptuous, how can my general be a sword idiot who can fight." Xu Qingfeng secretly inquired about the news and was hunted down so far, he was already angry, and now he heard that Huang Wanli was directly forcing the commander to end the competition, which was simply too deceitful.
"Master Hou, if you don't have a colorful head, this martial arts competition is so boring."
"Director Huang, Mingjinlou dares to collect the dark disks of major cabinets, why don't we gamble again?" Cui Hanzhang saw the Qingyao maid beside Huang Wanli leaving, and he must have been aware of it, so he forced Huang Wanli more at this time.
"Okay, the banquet is not happy without wine, and the competition is not full of fun." Bai Yanqiu naturally saw that the two parties on the field were already tense, so he proposed a competition. In between speaking, he also sent his men out to check on the situation.
"Cui Mou bet with a total of 1.25 million taels of silver in the dark market of Mingjin Building, and the account was written off after losing it." As soon as Cui Hanzhang's words came out, he had already shocked everyone, and they all whispered to each other.
"Tanhualang is generous, the shot is a million taels of silver, Taikang City has not had such a big gamble for a long time." Some drinkers touched their chins and said.
"yes, why do I think this wine gets weirder the more I drink......" someone muttered.
"Okay, you, don't dog meat can't be on the table, soak and pee to take care of yourself, with your virtue, can you still drink this kind of feast of flower wine in this life?"
"I've seen all the top three girls in Mingjin Building, drinking and having fun with the most bullish Lingwu Marquis Cui Tanhua, and this shocking gamble of millions of silver coins, which is enough for you to blow a cow for eight lifetimes." The other drinker said disdainfully, his words filled with pride.
"If he wins, Cui wants one thing and one person."
"Oh? I don't know what Cui Tanhua wants, who is it? Huang Wanli laughed, as if he had the chance to win, and asked casually.
"Black Fire Thunder and Zhuo Siniang." Cui Hanzhang stared at Huang Wanli's eyes and said word by word.
"Cui Tanhua said with a smile, the black fire thunder is a strategic military material, Huang Mou's Mingjin Building has fine wine and more beauties, but there is no black fire thunder, and there is no Zhuo Siniang." Huang Wanli narrowed his eyes, and a hint of uneasiness flashed faintly, but he must not show weakness in his mouth.
"Cui didn't say that the thing belonged to Mingjinlou, but Cui believed that Mingjinlou had a way to get it, and it was not possible to have people and things lacking." Cui Hanzhang pressed step by step.
In fact, Cui Hanzhang suddenly realized that he was wrong before after he climbed the building, and the four gates and nine passes of Taikang City were strictly checked, but the Longyuan River outside Taikang City could not be checked, and the sailors and warships were only checking the passing ships, and no one knew what the ships looked like underwater.
What's more, Mingjinlou holds official documents jointly signed by various yamen, and the inventory is just for show, and there is a branch of the Longyuan River flowing into the city, which is connected with the palace and other waterways.
"Cui Tanhua is really a big breath, Mingjin Building is not a clear water cabinet shop." I didn't see him, but I heard his voice first, and I saw a middle-aged man dressed in brown clothes and wearing a lotus crown slowly walking out with a beauty fan in his hand, and bowed slightly to the main seat Lingwu Hou.
"Bothering Mr. Xu to come forward, Wanli is derelict in his duties." Huang Wanli was busy at this time, and stood up to salute his disciples, and the other entourages all bowed and saluted.
"Sit down and talk, the landlord asked me to pass on a word, since people have come to the door, someone has to be even, if you can't be flat, there is Wen Changping, Wen Changping can't be, there is other Ping." After Xu Wenchang sat down, his words frightened Huang Wan without blood, and his ass didn't dare to sit anymore.
"If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it, and if it is uneven, someone will take care of it. Ben Hou thinks this gamble is very fair, I don't know what Mr. Xu thinks? Bai Yanqiu always appeared at the most appropriate time, and he gave things to death in one sentence, and even forced Xu Wenchang to express his position.
Now in this situation, the saber rattling, the drinkers no longer have the intention of drinking, many people have woken up most of the time, cheered up and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"What Hou Ye said is reasonable, Cui Tanhua is full of pride, and Mingjinlou will accompany him to the end." Xu Wenchang has appeared so far, with no expression on his face, just keep shaking the beauty fan.
"The last general is willing to go and meet the sword idiot." Xu Qingfeng knelt on one knee and hugged his fists to fight.
"Qingfeng be careful, the sword idiot has a weird body just now, you can't attack this battle, you can only outwit it." Xu Qingfeng's ability Cui Hanzhang is clear, before he joined the rangers, Xu Qingfeng was Li Qingshan's main sparring partner, this kid is a stunned young man, the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, and he will break out all the way. Especially in the siege battle of Youyun City, he followed the flying general Yao Daguan to the top of the city, and even Cui Hanzhang himself did not dare to say that he could defeat him.
"The subordinates have orders." Xu Qingfeng got up, and his whole person's momentum changed greatly, and his fighting spirit instantly rose, and a murderous aura permeated.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the sword idiot and punched out, and when he punched, he had to be invincible in front of him, this is the mantra of boxing that Li Qingshan often taught, Xu Qingfeng is the most familiar with it, and he handed it out, and then he had no worries, but the two exchanged punches, and at the same time retreated two steps.
"Again." Xu Qingfeng was like a newborn calf, stomped his feet and exerted his strength, pounced again and handed out a punch.
It may be that Xu Qingfeng's fist was too heavy just now for a hike the sword idiot did not choose to change his fist this time, but dodged sideways, and wanted to draw his sword with his backhand, but Xu Qingfeng was like an ant on the tarsal bone, and
posted it up, and a set of serial punches were used, like water splashing, impermeable, and the fists wanted to change their lives. The sword idiot had no choice but to retreat, but he retreated step by step, step by step, and lost the opportunity, and he was about to be forced to the wine table behind him.
"Good boxing skills, indomitable, and unstoppable." Bai Yanqiu has experienced a ruthless baptism of war, his vision is already different, he naturally knows the goods, and he can't help but pat his thigh and applaud.
With Lingwu Marquis taking the lead in applauding, there are naturally those who echo it, Ru Jingxiu, Chu Kang and others are the masters who are not afraid of things, and they applaud loudly.
"If you don't draw your sword yet, when?" Huang Wanli saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but shout.
"Qiang ......" The sword idiot heard the shouts of his master, turned over and took off, and finally drew his sword with his backhand, and the price was also a solid kick in the abdomen.
Xu Wenchang, who watched this scene, frowned slightly, the most taboo thing about the interference of outsiders in the life and death competition, Huang Wanli's urging, smoothly transformed the half-point opportunity that Xu Qingfeng grabbed with a hard fist into a real upper hand.
The sword idiot held the sword with his backhand, released his five fingers in turn, and then clenched it, then hid the sword behind his back, lowered his body, and rushed up with a strange body technique.
The moment the sword idiot pulled out the sword, it seemed that the whole person was sublimated, there was only a sword in his eyes, the momentum was like an abyss, Yinghua was inside, loose and quiet outside, and the robe around was slightly bulging.
A move against the current, the angle of the sword is incredible, and the backhand sword abandons a lot of stabbing movements, but mainly blocks, oblique slashes, and horizontal wipes, and in an instant, a sword mark crosses Xu Qingfeng's left arm.
Xu Qingfeng punched into the air, suddenly felt the wind on the right side, forcibly twisted his waist to pull out the knife, but the opponent was too fast, so he had to use the scabbard to resist the sword edge, but the sword blade retreated at the touch, and reappeared three inches above the right shoulder, the body was weird, the sword was confused, and all kinds of tricky angles were everywhere, and it was really a difficult opponent.
The backhand sword is very rare in the rivers and lakes, Xu Qingfeng felt that the situation was not good for the first time, and he didn't dare to hold it, so he stepped back and pulled out the knife, but at this time, the sword idiot didn't give him a chance, he rubbed his body and pounced, a few sword lights swept by, and there was blood splattering, it was Xu Qingfeng's back, although the wound was shallow but the blood flowed endlessly.
The situation is extremely unfavorable to him, but Xu Qingfeng is calm, not humiliated, worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, the moment he retreats, the thumb of his left hand pushes three inches against the handle of the knife, and his right foot kicks to the left waist position, the people next to him seem to have a strange posture, the whole person twists his body like a scorpion swinging its tail, saying that it is too late, it is fast, I saw that the saber on his waist shot out instantly, and it was colliding with the oncoming sword idiot, and the electric light and flint could not allow him to temporarily withdraw the move, and in desperation, the sword idiot will hide the backhand sword hidden behind him in front of him, which can block the horizontal knife handle ring.
It turned out that the sword drawing method used by Xu Qingfeng just now was a unique skill of the midrangers in the army, and the rangers often encountered enemy spies in the rear, flanks and other places far away from the main force.
After countless trials of life, the rangers fell off the horse and climbed back for the first time, even if they had to get up empty, they had to continue to stride back, but in the process of retreating, they twisted and kicked in the scabbard position with their feet, and with the hand of the knife to push the knife, they could instantly eject the knife out of the scabbard, and those who had good luck and thumb strength could shoot it as a crossbow arrow, and attack it unprepared, and shoot the pursuing spies off the horse, and then hit the ground with the foot of the ground, and the body was fast enough to catch up with the horizontal knife that shot out backwards, and the backhand held to turn the passive into the activeto hunt down the enemy.
The war knife used by Xu Qingfeng is a special horizontal knife in the Shenguang Army, the knife is two fingers wide, about three feet long, and the tail of the handle is inlaid with a heavy iron ring, which is most suitable for chopping and blocking, so it is the best melee weapon for cavalry. This time, the horizontal handle ring hit the backhand sword, the momentum sank, the sword idiot's hand holding the sword was slightly numb, the sword momentum was broken, and the more troublesome thing was that the enemy in front of him jumped high and rushed over, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and the other foot had been kicked to the lower abdomen, the situation on the field changed instantly, the sword idiot had to use his knee to pick up this kick, the two people bounced away again, Xu Qingfeng changed to holding the knife with both hands, the blade pointed to the sword idiot, and the sword idiot was lucky, and the long sword was behind him again.
The two of them just made a move between the lightning and flint, and in an instant, they dismantled seven or eight moves, and everyone present forgot to applaud, and they all held their breath, for fear that they would miss the most exciting moment in the blink of an eye.
Cui Hanzhang shouted loudly: "The intention is not forceful, the intention is to follow the qi, he is strong, he is strong, and the bright moon shines on the river." Xu Qingfeng knew that the general intended to mention him, so he concentrated his calmness, penetrated the sword body, and gradually reached the realm of forgetting about things and me, and on the other side, Huang Wanli used his eyes and gestures to signal the sword idiot to fight quickly.
On the one hand, the backhand swordsman is ruthless and ruthless, with strange moves, and on the other hand, the veteran on the battlefield is fierce and brave, in order to kill with one blow.
The backhand sword goes sideways, it seems to be light and fluttering, but every time the sword collides with the force in the handshake position, the sword idiot is very fast, and everyone present looks at the backhand sword pointing everywhere, plus the sword moves are mixed, rarely repeated, and the offensive is continuous and endless. And Xu Qingfeng is clever with strength, quiet and clumsy, and the stronger he is, for a while, the two of them come and go, swords and swords, and everyone watching the battle is fascinated.
At the middle of the two-party fight, Xu Qingfeng fought his shoulder and hit the sword again, and he also had to use the gravity of the knife to knock off the backhand sword, the sword struck each other, the fire was shining, and the sword idiot only felt that the sword body was blocked when it was wiped on Xu Qingfeng's shoulder, and there was nowhere to focus on it, and there was a twisting force along the sword body, and the tiger's mouth was hot, and the long sword almost got out of his hand.
The sword idiot was taken aback, since he practiced the backhand sword ten years ago, the long sword was out of his hands. In this life, he has decided to dedicate himself to the sword, he is ruthless and unrighteous, the sword does not leave his hand, his hand does not leave the sword, and he has almost lost his long sword when he has just suffered a heavy blow, how can it not be shocking?
