Chapter 31: The Skyfall Sword and the Broken Spear
CHAPTER XXXI
The spring days are not long, and the afternoon passes quickly. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info side by side Wang is a person who can chat, Chen Baichuan chatted happily with him for a long time.
If it weren't for the obstacles of the conflict between the family and the country, the two would have become friends if they couldn't say it.
It's a pity that there are not so many "if not" in the world, and those guns and arrows in the conversation and hidden knives in the laughter indicate that the two are having a politically significant exchange. Anything that involves politics has to be greatly changed, including friendship.
The king left in a sedan chair in the other direction, and after bidding farewell to this old man with gold and purple, Chen Baichuan embarked on the journey home.
It is not difficult to hire a sedan chair on this side of Chaojie, but Chen Baichuan still chooses to walk. The touch of the cloth shoes on the bluestone slab made him feel very stable.
Dusk quickly dyed the tide street, the hawkers carrying the burdens, the women collecting the quilts, their faces were illuminated by the golden light, and the brilliance was dazzling. On the shoulders of the peddler, he may have a family to survive, so he sells along the street from dawn until the sun sets. He may have a toddler waiting to be fed and a wife who has brought home a quilt that had been dried for a day.
The duty to the family drives the hawker like a spinning top, whipping him whenever he wants to relax.
Chen Baichuan had the courage to wander in the imperial capital, which had been shrouded in conspiracy, and he was also driven by something. Liability? Hatred? Brotherhood? He didn't confirm his motivation to live, as long as he lived towards his goal.
In the afternoon, he and the king of the side had many words of intrigue, spying on each other, but also told many strange things.
For example, the demise of the Great Qi was due to the sudden rise of mountains in Zhongzhou at that time, and all the royal families of the Great Qi were buried under the shaking of the mountains.
For example, the mountains that Zhongzhou has become are called the Ten Thousand Swords Peak Forest, because the mountains are very similar to swords that go straight into the clouds, and because there is a folk legend that those mountains are the power of a sword of a god named Wang Xiaoxian.
In Chen Baichuan's opinion, the legend of the immortal Wang Xiaoxian is too. There will be mountains that suddenly jump out of the surface because of the violent movement of the earth's crust. Wang Xiaoxian's existence is probably similar to that of Lei Gongdian and his ilk, which comes from the people's beautiful imagination of the unknown, and pins their horror of ignorance on the gods.
I thought about all the miscellaneous things, and the long journey home was over unconsciously.
Thanks to the absence of a night curfew, there were several people traveling on the road. I don't know if they rushed to the Qinglou to have fun, or they were in a hurry to go home and hug their wives and children.
The plaque is still written on the Chen Mansion, but the gate of the Chen Mansion is surprisingly unmanned.
The door was open, and Chen Baichuan walked in, his pace very fast. The subordinates are all well-behaved people, and if nothing happens, there will never be no one to watch the door.
In the courtyard, the people circle inward.
A sharp-eyed young man saw Chen Baichuan enter the door and shouted, "The young master is back." ”
Lao Lu ran over and explained the current situation to Chen Baichuan, who was full of curiosity, he glanced at the place where the people were surrounded by the people, and said: "In the afternoon, a powerful strange person appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't want to move when he sat in the courtyard. I called a dozen good men to drive him away, and who knew that he couldn't even get close. Just now he was shouting that he wanted to drink wine and eat meat, and I took it upon myself to mix sweat medicine in it, and he ate it like a nobody. I'm afraid this person's martial arts have reached the peak of the realm. ”
Chen Baichuan nodded solemnly and continued to walk forward. Listening to Steward Lu's description, that person is a big master. On the battlefield, no matter how strong a person is, he can't play much of a role. But in this mansion, when encountering the top few people on the rivers and lakes, Chen Fu is afraid that few people can escape for their lives.
"Old Lu, tell everyone to disperse." Since he is a master, the subordinates naturally can't trap him.
Although Steward Lu was worried about Chen Baichuan's safety, he would not disobey his orders, and he shouted to his subordinates: "The little master is back, everyone disperse." ”
After everyone dispersed hesitantly, Chen Baichuan walked straight to the strange man.
By the light of the light, he could see the appearance and costume of the strange man clearly, no wonder Steward Lu wanted to call him a strange man.
The man was an old man of about sixty years, with a rough mess of grass on his chin, and his tattered clothes were sloppy, not unlike the old beggars on the streets.
Chen Baichuan stopped his gaze on the thing behind him, and looked at it, it was a long sword.
His face was more serious, and from what he had seen so far, the origin of the strange man was a little scary. Chen Baichuan was engrossed in his whole body, staring at the old man's every move, and said slowly: "It is rumored that immortal iron flew from nine heavens away, and the Sword Casting Villa turned that iron into a divine sword and gave it to the number one swordsman in the world. What is your Excellency carrying is the Excalibur Skyfall? ”
Skyfall is a divine sword, and the one who owns him is also a god. A sword and a wine jug, the wine sober ranks fourth, and the drunk ranks third. Hu Di is a strange person, a powerful strange person. When the good people were arranging the strength of the heroes in the rivers and lakes, they made difficulties here in Hu Di. When he was drunk, he had the courage to despise the heroes of the world, and when he woke up, he looked like an unsurprising old man, and the difference in force between them was far from the same.
Why did this Hu Di come from, could it be that such a carefree swordsman has also become a lackey of the court?
"That's right." The strange man on the ground brought the thing behind him to him, and slowly untied the tight knot, "Let you see the skyfall." ”
Hu Di's sword is very fast, and there are few people who can take his sword moves. Chen Baichuan had to rely on dark arrows to kill Li Shengjun, and it was impossible to catch Hu Di's sword.
It's just that there are people who can't beat others and wait for death, Chen Baichuan took the wine washing sword handed by Lao Lu. The wrapped fabric peeled off layer by layer under the pull of the stranger, and Chen Baichuan stared at the stranger's hand, shoulder, and expression, without missing his every movement.
I saw that the strange man's wrist turned, and the fabric suddenly shattered into strips of cloth. Chen Baichuan secretly screamed that it was not good, he was already weaker than a person, and now his vision was affected by broken steps.
The sword swung wildly, stabbing at every place where the stranger might strike.
The weirdo didn't move, he sat there all the time. The rags in the sky finally fell to the ground, and the skyfall also revealed its magnificent face.
The sword......
Hey, no, how a half gun!
Chen Baichuan found that he had been deceived, and the strange man was not the little sword fairy Hu Di at all. There is only one person who will have such strength and will do this. It is risky to pretend to be Hu Di, and as soon as the little sword immortal's skyfall comes out, the person who is impersonating will have to be cut into several pieces. But the person I thought of didn't have to be afraid of Hu Di's skyfall, because Hu Di couldn't beat him!
Chen Baichuan was very upset when he was teased, but unfortunately the strange man was a fierce man who couldn't beat him even if he was drunk, so he could only salute honestly:
"Chen Baichuan has seen Zhan's seniors."
