Liu Xiu and the others walked on the West Street of the Upper East Gate, preparing to enter the city from the Upper East Gate.

When the day passed, the city gate had already been closed, Liu Xiu and others rode horses, came to the city gate, a guard urged the horse forward, raised his eyes to the city, and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

A soldier poked his head out of the city and looked down.

There are not many people around Liu Xiu, except for Luo You, there are more than a dozen Yu Linwei in civilian clothes.

Hua Feiyan, Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others who came with him are now staying in the Northeast Guo District to track down and work carefully.

"Who are you?

Why do you want to enter the city so late? ”

The Yu Lin Wei took out a waist card from his arms, raised it upward, and said, "I am Yu Lin Wei, open the city gate immediately!" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city poked their heads and looked carefully at the waist card held high by Yu Linwei, and after looking at it for a while, he retracted his head.

After a short time, the city gate creaked open, and more than a hundred soldiers poured out from inside.

The leader was a military marquis, he first looked at Yu Linwei in front of the city gate, and then looked at Liu Xiu and the others, he arched his hand and asked, "You are all Yu Linwei?" ”

Yu Linwei dismounted and handed his waist card.

Junhou hurriedly took it and looked closely, this was indeed Yu Linwei's waist card, and the other party was still Yu Linlang.

His face was straight, and he returned the waist card respectfully.

The Yu Linwei said: "Today's investigation of the Northeast Guo District, I was ordered to go to check, because there was something to delay some time, so I returned to the city so late!" ”

The marquis sighed and didn't ask any more.

Today's investigation of the Northeast Guo District, he has already heard about it, because the scale of the investigation is too large, even the Jingshi army outside the city has been transferred into the city Thousands of people, His Majesty sent Yu Linwei to check, it is also a normal thing.

He turned sideways and waved his hand at the men behind him, and the soldiers who were facing a great enemy gathered their weapons and stepped back.

Liu Xiu and the others rode horses, passed through the city gate, and entered the city smoothly.

From the Upper East Gate to the Imperial Palace, there is also a distance.

Compared to Guo District, the city is much quieter, but lanterns hang outside the doors of every house.

Those who can live in the city are either princes and nobles, or the homes of eunuchs, and then there are large families of scholars, each family has a strong family background, and lanterns are hung outside the gate at night, which is not only a façade, but also a symbol of status.

It was the first time for Liu Xiu to walk around Luoyang City so late, looking at the lights on both sides of the street, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, from persuading Zhu Kun to surrender and take over Luoyang, it has been five years now, and in the past five years, the changes in Luoyang can be described as earth-shaking.

At the beginning, Luoyang experienced several wars, was beaten to ruins, and was full of barrenness, and now, Luoyang's prosperity has surpassed Xijing Chang'an.

He was riding his horse and walking forward, when suddenly he pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

Luo You and Yu Linwei next to him were both stunned, looked at Liu Xiu puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't answer their questions, he squinted his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the rooftops on both sides of the street, and said in a deep voice: "Who is sneaking here, come out!" ”

The streets were empty, and the rooftops on both sides of the street were pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Just when everyone was deeply puzzled, they saw black shadows suddenly standing up on the rooftops on both sides of the street.

Seeing this, Luo You and Yu Linwei's faces changed, and people said in unison: "Protect Your Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, all Yu Lin Wei urged them to step forward and surrounded Liu Xiu in the middle.

As soon as everyone surrounded Liu Xiu, they heard the continuous sound of swishing and breaking the wind, and crossbow arrows flew down from the roof.

These Yu Linwei around Liu Xiu are all Yu Linlang.

Yu Lin Wei is the elite of the Han army system, and Yu Lin Lang is the elite of Yu Lin Wei, the entire Yu Lin system, Yu Lin Lang's quota is one hundred and twenty-eight people.

At this time, don't look at Liu Xiu's side, there are only a dozen guards, but their skills are stronger than the other.

The people immediately drew their swords from their ribs and fired the crossbow arrows that flew down.

With a series of clanging sounds, the bolts were richeted off.

A Yu Lin Lang took off the crossbow machine from his back waist, stuffed a hollow whistle arrow into the crossbow machine, and was about to aim the crossbow machine at the sky and shoot the whistle arrow, when a man in black jumped down on the roof beside him, and the person was still in the air, swept out a sword, and hit him by the neck.

This Yu Lin Lang also reacted quickly, and immediately changed the direction of the crossbow machine, aiming at the black-clothed man who pounced on him and shot crossbow arrows.

Chirp - the whistle arrow was used by him as a normal crossbow arrow, and flew straight towards the man in black.

The latter swung his sword in the air, and when it clicked, the whistle arrow was bounced away, and the man in black landed with him.

Yu Linlang dismounted, carried his sword, and rushed straight towards the man in black.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting together.

Luo You pulled Liu Xiu off the horse and said urgently: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, let's leave quickly!" ”

This situation reminded her of the night Du Qing was killed.

Looking at these black-clothed assassins in front of her, Luo You wanted to crush them to ashes, but she hadn't lost her mind yet, and knew that she had to focus on the overall situation, and the first priority at the moment was not revenge, but to protect His Majesty's safety.

Luo You pulled Liu Xiu and quickly retreated to the bottom of the wall.

At this time, the black-clothed people on the roof had already jumped down one after another, and people were carrying swords and cats bending their waists, and rushed straight to Liu Xiu's side.

One of Yu Lin Lang shouted: "Meet the enemy!" Protect Your Majesty! ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in holding a sword to meet him, and the rest of Yu Lin Lang each held a sword and fought with the black-clothed man who rushed over.

In an instant, the once peaceful street turned into a sword and a sword, and the sound of clanging iron tools was endless.

Just as Yu Linlang was fighting with many black-clothed people, another black shadow fell down on the roof not far from Liu Xiu.

This black shadow, as light as a leaf, jumped from such a high roof, and when it landed, it didn't even make a sound.

Standing in the middle of the street, the man in black looked around, and soon, his eyes fell on Liu Xiu and Luo You, who were retreating in the corner.

The man in black walked towards Liu Xiu and Luo You with his hands behind his back and walked leisurely.

A nearby Yu Lin Lang saw it clearly, roared angrily, and greeted him with a sword.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Yu Linlang took three steps and two steps, and when he reached the man in black, he stabbed straight out with a sword.

He was fast, and the speed of the man in black was even faster, and he saw his legs bent slightly, and then his body rose into the air, like a giant eagle, hanging in the air.

Yu Linlang was shocked in his heart, and when he raised his eyes to look up, he didn't see the figure of the man in black, only a flash of mercury-like light.

It's beautiful, so beautiful that it seems like silver rain is falling in the sky, and it's so beautiful that it looks like the Milky Way has fallen into the mortal world.

This was also the last scene that Habayashi Lang saw.

As the body of the man in black fell to the ground lightly, Yu Linlang, who was standing in place, fell on his back.

Only at his neck, there was a faint red line, and the strange thing was that there was still amazement and a smile on his face.

Seeing the move of the man in black, Liu Xiu and Luo You, who were not far away, were shocked together.

The other party's sword was too fast, even Liu Xiu only saw a rough idea, while Luo You was too familiar with the long sword used by the man in black and the sword moves.

The rivers and rivers are collapsing against the current mountains, and a sword is soaring into the sky and nine heavens, Ruan Xiu! Her senior brother died at the hands of Ruan Xiu's disciples, and Luo You also hated Ruan Xiu to the core, but the moment she really saw Ruan Xiu, she didn't have the slightest hatred in her heart, and some were just afraid.

Luo You's body shook involuntarily, and the hand that grabbed Liu Xiu's arm also subconsciously tightened a little bit.

Liu Xiu felt Luo You's strange appearance, turned her head to look, and saw that Luo You's face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans were oozing out of her forehead.

She muttered, "Yes...... It's the master uncle, he ...... He is Nguyen ...... Nguyen Xiu! ”

There is no second person who can use the sword to such an extent, such a supernatural one, except for Ruan Xiu.

Hearing Luo You say Ruan Xiu's name, Liu Xiu then narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in black intently.

The man in black was tall, not under Liu Xiu, with wide shoulders and long arms, and when he drooped, his fingertips were almost close to his knees.

Looking at his face, he, like the other men in black, was also covered with a scarf, revealing only his two eyes outside.

These eyes were as bright as two small lanterns, emitting a strange glow in the dark night.

In the hands of the man in black, he held a long sword, the regular sword length is three feet, like the Chixiao sword used by Liu Xiu, which is a regular three-foot sword, in modern standards, it is seventy centimeters.

And the sword in the hand of the man in black is nearly five feet long, that is, it has exceeded ninety centimeters.

This kind of long sword was relatively popular in the Qin State back then.

When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Ying Zheng couldn't pull out the sword three times in a row, and what Ying Zheng was wearing at that time was the Qin State long sword, which was 90 centimeters away.

The sword is long, it is inconvenient to wear, and it is inconvenient to draw the sword, but of course it also has its own advantages, in the era of cold weapons, an inch long is an inch strong, an inch short is an inch of danger, in the event of a battle, the advantage of the long sword is naturally greater than that of the short sword.

The man in black carried a long sword and walked towards Liu Xiu and Luo You step by step, and at the same time slowly said, "Luo You, you really betrayed the sect. ”

As the man in black approached, Luo You's body shook even more, as if he was sifting chaff, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

Liu Xiu glanced at Luo You, then pulled away her hand that was tightly gripping her arm, took two steps forward, and asked, "Your Excellency is Ruan Xiu of the Four A?" ”

The man in black's gaze fell on Liu Xiu and said, "No wonder Qi Zhong and Guan Ying will fold in your hands one after another, there are really some evil sects!" ”

They were hiding very hidden, walking on the streets, it was impossible to see them, but Liu Xiu still found them relatively far away, which made him very curious, how did Liu Xiu detect their existence.

Liu Xiu seemed to see the other party's question, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "No matter how well you hide it, you can't hide the murderous aura on your body!" ”

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were crooked, as if he was smiling.

He looked down at the long sword in his hand and said, "It's been a long time, and no one can let me make a move myself." ”

The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked and said, "Therefore, Mr. Ruan should not come to Luoyang." ”

The man in black raised his gaze, met Liu Xiu's eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty can give your own head to you?" ”

Liu Xiu blinked her eyes and couldn't help but laugh on her back.

The man in black also smiled, laughing and laughing, the man in black turned his eyes, looked at Luo You behind Liu Xiu, and said, "Luo You, if you want to live, now is your last chance to kill him." ”

Under the forced gaze of the man in black, Luo Ghost Spirit shivered, and his feet involuntarily rubbed back again and again.

Liu Xiu didn't look back, and didn't seem to be worried that Luo You would suddenly kill him behind his back.

The man in black stared at Luo You's gaze becoming more and more fierce, and Youyou said: "Luo You, I'm giving you a chance to live now, don't be unrepentant, don't kill yourself." ”

Luo You looked at the man in black, and then at Liu Xiu's back, his hand trembled and raised, and soon fell again, lifted again, and fell again, repeating it several times.

Without waiting for the man in black to speak again, Liu Xiu said slowly: "Mr. Ruan is a swordsman who has been famous for many years, and he is also a senior in the rivers and lakes, don't you think it's too much to bully a little girl like this?" ”

The man in black laughed out loud, he raised the long sword in his hand, and flicked his fingertips on the sword, letting out a dragon groan.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "If you want to stand up for her, it depends on whether you have the ability." ”

As he spoke, without warning, the man in black only took a step forward, and the person had already reached Liu Xiu's approach, and the long sword swept out.

Once again, there was a silver blanket in the air.

It seems that a touch of snow appears out of thin air, which is beautiful, and being in it makes people feel like they are in a fantasy world.

The rivers and rivers are against the current and the mountains are cracking, and a sword is soaring into the sky and nine heavens! This is the truest portrayal of Ruan Xiu, a top swordsman.
