Chapter 18: Interception
Before Hua Guan and Mu En went on an errand in Shangjing Mansion, they once fell into the grass on Yan Mountain. Later, the government encircled and suppressed, the two were arrested, and they were taken to the prison of Shangjing Mansion, where they were originally sentenced to beheading, and they were beheaded after the autumn. Later, when Yan Hao was looking for outlaws to form a secret team that was ostensibly Gao Jianyuan but was secretly used for his own purposes, he chose Hua Guan and Mu En.
The two escaped death, grateful for Yan Hao's life-saving grace, and naturally obeyed Yan Hao. Soon after, Hua Guan and Mu En officially worked as errands in Shangjing Mansion and became legitimate officials in Shangjing Mansion. Of course, on the surface, he is an official errand, but secretly he is still doing things for Gao Jianyuan. Shangjing Mansion Yin is the third prince, and they also understand that they are actually working for the third prince. It's just that they don't want to say that they can meet the three princes, usually even Gao Jianyuan rarely sees each other, and it is Yan Hao who gives them orders.
It is said that the two of them are also accustomed to Yan Hao's words, and they should not complain about this trip to Zhongshan Village, but recently there has been a turbulence in Beijing, and there is a big event approaching, which is a good time to make a contribution, but they were assigned to a small mountain village hundreds of miles away, in case they missed a great opportunity, wouldn't they be annoyed? It was also since the two of them went to Shangjing Mansion on an errand that they gradually opened their eyes, and they had a lot of criticism about Yan Hao's never introduction to them and Gao Jianyuan. The two also clearly know that Yan Hao only uses them when they are available, and discards them if they are not available.
The chess pieces are not willing to be a chess piece at the mercy of others forever, not to mention that Hua Guan and Mu En think that they are much more capable than Yan Hao, why should they obey Yan Hao's command? The most important thing is that the two of them have been promoted step by step in Shangjing Mansion, and they are about to be promoted to the military attache of the seventh rank, and they are no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the year. If they can get rid of Yan Hao's control and directly become the personal soldiers of the third prince, the promotion of the two is just around the corner.
It's just that Yan Hao is between the two of him and the three princes for a day, and the two of them will never come out!
Originally, Yan Hao asked the two of them to set off overnight that night, but the two didn't want to sleep in the open, so they dragged on for a long time, and delayed until the fourth watch before leaving. I thought that the gods didn't know the ghosts, but Yan Hao waited at the city gate early in the morning, and the two of them were scolded by Yan Hao, who suppressed the anger in their hearts but didn't dare to say a word, so they only promised to go down and leave the city in embarrassment.
Hua Guan and Mu En have always been used to bullying men and women before they fell into the grass. is on an errand in Shangjing Mansion, and it is difficult to change the previous gangsterism. In addition, he was scolded by Yan Hao, and he was angry in his heart and had nowhere to vent, he originally wanted to vent his anger on Li Guanyu, but he thought that Li Guanyu was also a thorn, and the anger in the hearts of the two of them was like adding fuel to the fire, burning even more.
In fact, Li Guanyu is okay if he is not convinced, if Li Guanyu continues to hold on, Hua Guan and Mu En will not dare to make a big deal about it, first, the two of them are officials, and they dare not be presumptuous in front of the public. The second is that the two of them are on top of their lives, and they will not stay for long. Li Guanyu bowed his head and gave in, and his concession only stimulated the rampant of Huaguan and Mu En.
The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, although Hua Guan and Mu En have become officials, it is still difficult to change their rogue spirit. The two of them were in the capital, relying on their identities and not daring to do anything wrong. Now out of the happy forest of more than 30 miles in the capital, at this time it is the early morning when there is no one left and right, the two of them glanced at each other, their hearts were connected, and they both saw the fierceness in each other's eyes.
Mu En said coldly: "If you know it's wrong, don't you hurry up and fry three catties of fritters again." ”
"Yes, yes!" Li Guanyu was resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal half a point, so he was busy for a long time, fried three catties of fritters and sent them up.
"Wrap it up, you want to eat it on the road." Hua Guan wiped his mouth, seeing that the sky was getting brighter and there were more passers-by, he was also worried that it would be bad for the matter to cause onlookers, "Hurry up, I still have to hurry." ”
Li Guanyu wrapped the fritters with oiled paper with his hands and feet, tied a thin hemp rope, and handed it over: "The two guest officials have collected it, a total of three hundred Wen." ”
As soon as the words came out, Li Guanyu regretted it, the two in front of him deliberately looked for trouble, obviously just to eat the overlord meal, how could he dare to collect money? It's also because of his habit, and he said it without thinking about it.
"What, three hundred wen? Do you want to grab money? Mu En used to eat for nothing, and he was used to taking things and leaving, although he was a lot more restrained after becoming an official, he was still angry, he glared at the table and patted the table, "Okay, good, good, the master will give you thirty times!" ”
"Smack", a thirty-piece of money slapped on the table.
Li Guanyu was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand hesitantly. It's no wonder that he has an eye for money, a person who buys and sells with a small capital, where has he seen thirty yuan of money? He also knew that the two of them intended to tease him, but he still had a bit of luck, in case he really earned thirty taels, but thirty taels of silver was thirty times more than the one or two taels of silver that Shen Bao rewarded last time. Thirty times is enough for him to take a concubine.
As soon as he was greedy, Li Guanyu wanted to retract his hand but couldn't take it back, and the thirty Qian Yin on the table seemed to be a treasure with great attraction, and his hand moved forward little by little, getting closer and closer to Qian Yin, two feet, one foot, half a foot......
Seeing that Li Guanyu's right hand was only half a foot away from Qian Yin, an object suddenly appeared out of thin air, black and flat, flat and long, shot down from top to bottom, and hit the back of Li Guanyu's right hand with a "bang", and the speed was as fast as lightning.
"Ahh Li Guanyu screamed, and then cried out in pain, "Oops, oops, oops, it hurts me to death!" ”
Li Guanyu's right hand was spread flat on the table, and above his right hand was a jet-black scabbard - fortunately, it was a scabbard, if it was the back of the knife, his entire right hand would have to be abolished. But even then, due to the excessive force, three fingers of his right hand were broken.
Li Guanyu jumped to his feet in pain, but he couldn't withdraw his right hand, and his right hand was crushed under the scabbard. At one end of the scabbard is Muen's right hand. Mu En sneered again and again, and said gloomily: "I really dare to ask for it, I have never seen a store like you, you are bolder than the sky, you don't want to die if you ask for money, right?" ”
"Spare your life, spare your life!" Li Guanyu's sweaty expression was distorted, and his waist couldn't straighten up in pain, "The guest officer spared the little one, and the little one really knew that it was wrong." The fritters don't need money, and the guest officer is gone. ”
"I didn't plan to give you money, but I didn't expect you to be greedy enough to swallow an elephant, and you dared to ask for thirty yuan of money, which really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard." Hua Guan drew a knife in his hand and made a few gestures on Li Guanyu's hand, "You say, what will happen if I cut off your hand with a knife?" ”
"If you cut off his hand with a knife, your head will hit the ground!"
Li Guanyu was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he couldn't stand steadily, as soon as he heard that he was going to cut off his hand, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".
Li Guanyu looked back, and there was a person standing not far behind him, dressed in black, with light boots, a graceful figure, thin shoulders and wide hips, wearing a light gauze hat, unable to see his appearance, only from the figure it can be seen that she should be a stunning woman.
She holds a sword in her right hand and a white horse in her left. At the current station, in the faint morning light, the wind blows the veil and moves, and there is a sense of floating like a fairy.
"Who?" Hua Guan couldn't take care of Li Guanyu anymore, put the knife horizontally, walked quickly to the woman, looked the woman up and down, and suddenly laughed, "A female streamer, dare to say big things that make my head fall to the ground, girl, if it was before, the master would have told you to survive and not to die, but now the master is from the official family, and he is not as knowledgeable as you." You accompany the master, show your little face and let the master take a look, and the master will let you go. ”
Hua Guan held a long knife horizontally, and the tip of the knife was sent forward, to pick up the black yarn on the woman's hat.
"When", a crisp sound of weapons intersecting sounded, Hua Guan only felt a flower in front of him, a strong force came, the knife in his hand could no longer hold it, he flew out of his hand, and instantly flew out of a few zhang away, "bang" nailed to a big tree, and the entire tip of the knife was submerged in the body of the tree.
It can be seen that the strength is huge.
Hua was shocked, he also knew that his kung fu was not in the stream, but he was not a flower fist and embroidered legs, at least one could be used as three, and it was easy to deal with two or three people. But he never thought that with just one face, the other party gently picked up, and the long knife in his hand actually flew out of his hand, such a master, almost on par with Yan Hao!
Another reason why Hua Guan and Mu En are very dissatisfied with Yan Hao but still obey is because Yan Hao is strong in martial arts, and with Yan Hao's skills, it is easy to kill the two. Yan Hao is among the top ten masters of Great Xia, worthy of his name, his kung fu is unfathomable, Hua Guan and Mu En once fought with Yan Hao, and within five moves, the two were taken down by Yan Hao, and there was no power to resist.
Yan Hao is the only master they have seen in their lives, as for the other nine masters who are as famous as Yan Hao, the two don't know their names, and they haven't heard rumors about where the nine masters are. Only Yan Hao is one of the top ten masters, but everyone in Shangjing City knows it.
Could it be that the woman in front of her is one of the other nine masters on the same level as Yan Hao? A thought quickly flashed in Hua Guan's mind, and before he could react, the woman's figure flashed, and she turned sideways behind Hua Guan, Hua Guan only felt a sharp whistling sound behind him, he was shocked, he knew that it was not good, and it was too late to turn back, his right ear was cold, and then it was hot, and blood flowed down his right face.
After a short blank of brain, Hua Guan immediately understood something, touched his right hand, and sure enough, his right ear was gone, and a huge pain came from his heart, he jumped up, pulled out the dagger hidden in his waist, and turned around and stabbed the woman in the chest.
"I'll kill you!"
Although he was afraid of the woman's unfathomable kung fu, the flower under the anger couldn't take care of it much, and just wanted to kill the woman to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Mu En held an attitude of standing by and watching, wanting to watch a good show, the other party was just a weak woman, maybe not the enemy of Huaguan's move. Unexpectedly, things were greatly unexpected by him, only one face, Hua Guan lost an ear, he was shocked, he could no longer care about suppressing Li Guanyu with the scabbard, jumped up, drew the knife in his hand, flew forward, and stabbed the woman's back.
If you talk about fighting alone, Hua Guan and Mu En can be regarded as masters, they are far from even entering the stream, at most they are just two villains who are not much stronger than the scoundrels. The biggest reliance of the two is ruthlessness, and when they fight, they compare momentum and ruthlessness. Whoever is more domineering and who is more ruthless will have the upper hand.
In addition to being ruthless, the cooperation between the two can be described as seamless. If it is said that when it comes to singles, Hua Guan and Mu En can block three with one, but once the two join forces, they can block ten with two. It is the incomparably tacit union of the two that is what Yan Hao values the two of them the most. Yan Hao personally tested the two, and he and one of the two fought alone, and no one could support five rounds. If the two of them cooperate, they can fight him within 20 moves.
Mu En saw Hua Guan stab the woman in the chest, and he knew that Hua Guan wanted him to attack the woman's back.
Mu En and Hua Guan are both making knives, but Hua Guan's knife is a horizontal knife, with a straight and narrow blade, similar to a long sword with a one-sided blade, and can be held with both hands. It has both the king of the sword and the hegemonic spirit of the sword. However, it is lost in grace and majesty. Mu En's knife is a Mo knife, the handle is two feet long, the blade is two feet, both hands hold the knife, wield, tiger and tiger, quite the power of killing the Quartet.
The horizontal knife was picked up by the woman's sword, and Mu En believed that his Mo knife would not. In terms of weight alone, his knife was more than twice as heavy as Mu En's, and no matter how strong and clever the woman was, it was impossible to succeed with a sword. It was with Mu En's momentum of opening and closing, flying with a knife, thinking that he wanted to succeed with one blow.
The woman didn't look back, nor did she panic, the summer wind blew, and the black veil on her head danced with the wind, revealing half of her shocking face as her figure fluttered.
Just a glimpse of it is already dizzying. The delicate and picturesque eyebrows, the eyes like a pool of water, the white face like jade, and the red lips that are still a little brighter than cherries, are all wonderful and beautiful.
"What a Peugeot little lady!" Li Guanyu happened to witness the woman's appearance revealed after the black veil was lightly lifted, he forgot about the pain, and was stupid for a while, "Is there really a beautiful woman in the world?" Finally opened my eyes. ”
Not to mention that Li Guanyu was amazed by the woman's beauty, even Mu En was almost distracted, he was hit by the woman's instantaneous charm, and his heart was rippling. Don't say that he was a lustful person before, even if he was the unruly Yanagishita Megumi, he would inevitably be confused by the woman's peerless demeanor and be confused for a while.
Fortunately, he came to his senses again in an instant, just because he could already see clearly on the woman's beautiful face at a glance, a pair of eyes were as cold as ice, and the eyes were full of killing intent - ignoring all killing intent that treats human life like a mustard!
No matter how lustful Mu En was, he didn't dare to mess up his mind at this time, so he was busy holding his breath, holding a knife in both hands, and stabbing the woman in the back with all his strength. With the power of his Mo knife, if he succeeds in one blow, the woman will be cut in two by him.
Mu En's knife in the back is certainly menacing, with the potential of overwhelming mountains and seas, and Hua Guan's chest is stabbed in the chest, just like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace to be found. Light, swift, and in the blink of an eye, the dagger shone with a hint of cold light, flashing in the wind, and it was about to sink into the woman's chest.
As soon as the wind stopped, the black veil on the woman's head fluttered back, covering all her face, making it impossible to see whether there was a frightened or smug expression on her face. At the moment when the black gauze fell back, as if the wind was blowing on the ground, the hem of the black gauze suddenly twisted at a strange angle, like a branch that was suddenly broken.
Before Hua Guan understood what was going on, the figure of the woman who was still close at hand disappeared in a flash, and he suddenly pounced into the air, unable to retract his momentum, and rushed forward three or five steps before trying to restrain his body. Before he could turn around to look, there was a few crisp clanging sounds of weapons colliding in his ears.
The last crash was accompanied by the thud of heavy objects falling into the dust. It's not good, Hua cared about it, and she didn't look back, she listened to the sound and identified the position, and threw the dagger in her hand and flew towards the direction of the woman behind her.
Unexpectedly, after the dagger flew out, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no sound at all. Hua Guan turned around and looked at it, and was suddenly shocked - Mu En stood on the spot, the knife in his hand was more than half a foot above a big tree a few feet away, his left hand covered his ear, and the blood soaked his shoulder. And the woman in black stood outside Mu En, still in the same posture as before, holding a horse in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, but in her right hand holding the sword, there was an extra dagger.
If it weren't for the extra dagger in her hand, it was as if she hadn't moved since she appeared.
Muen was also defeated? Also had his ears cut off? The shock in Hua was like a surging river, what is her origin, so strong and so unfathomable, could it be that someone sent by Li Dingshan made a special trip here to intercept and kill the two of them? Thinking of this, he ignored the pain and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”
"Get out!" The woman was as calm as water, and only spit out one word lightly.
"Heroine, please leave your name, so that the two of us can remember today's events, hum." Mu En lost his left ear, painful and hateful, but he also knew that if the other party hadn't shown mercy to his subordinates, the two of them would have been in different places.
"Manta." The woman was still motionless, but the murderous aura on her body spread, and her voice became colder and colder, "If you don't get out, when I change my mind, you won't have a chance to leave if you want to leave." ”
"Let's go!" Hua Guan immediately made a decision, no longer lingered for a moment, waved his hand at Mu En, and hugged his fist at the woman, "Little lady, I will write down today's things first, and there will be a period later!" ”
Mu En didn't say much, it was useless to say more, maybe he would lose his life because of it, he was also a man who had experienced wind and waves, led the horse, and did not take the thirty yuan of money thrown on the table, and the flower pass rode away.
Li Guanyu sat slumped on the ground, already frightened. After living for most of his life, the first time he saw a delicate little lady so powerful, it was very similar to the legendary ranger who killed one person in ten steps and did not stay for a thousand miles. He sat on the floor, his back against the table, panting, his mind unconsciously jumbled.
