While! With a bang, Jiang Yuqiao looked at the half-cut sword in his hand in a daze, almost in disbelief. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Jiang Yuqiao's sword move cut like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, was blocked by Duan Lianting in the front, and the sword in his hand was actually broken into two.

Duan Lianting escaped the catastrophe and laughed loudly: "I have created countless swords, and the seven-star long sword in my hand is the sharpest sword, and the weapons in the world are not to compete with each other." I have a seven-star sword, how can you fight me? ”

Boom! Suddenly, there was an explosion in the hall not far away, and a spark burst out in the hall, and then the house crackled and burst into flames, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn bigger and bigger.

Duan Lianting let out a roar of pain, and his voice pierced through the clouds and cracked stones: "My Sword Forge Workshop, my Sword!" ”

Duan Lianting turned around and rushed to the hall like crazy, and Shi Jin and Tao Wan looked at each other.

Jiang Yuqiao raised his eyes and looked around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come out!" ”

At the corner, the figures of Zhang Baoer and Uncle Hua appeared, and Zhang Baoer said: "Father-in-law, how is it, let's put this fire in time." ”

Jiang Yuqiao said to Uncle Hua: "Lao Hua, let's solve the trouble in front of us first." ”

Shi Jin and Tao Wan saw the sudden change in the battle situation, they didn't say a word, and turned around and ran into the hall.

The fire raged in the hall, engulfing the house in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Bao'er said with annoyance: "I originally wanted to put a small fire to lead Duan Lianting away, who would have thought that there was gunpowder saltpeter in the sword-casting furnace, and it would burst into flames and ignite such a big fire." ”

"The fire is so big, why haven't the three of them come out yet?" Zhang Bao'er suddenly shouted, "Not good! ”

Zhang Bao'er and the three of them came to the door of the hall with smoke, but saw Duan Lianting standing in the fire, seemingly unaware of the high temperature and flames around him, Shi Jin and Tao Wan were paralyzed on the ground, there was no sound, and both of them had silver swords in their chests.

The flames crackled, Duan Lianting smiled sadly, his smile was very bleak, and he couldn't help muttering: "My weapon, my sword furnace, the glory of the villa...... I don't want to lose ......"

Zhang Bao'er shouted: "Duan Lianting, come out!" ”

Jiang Yuqiao and Uncle Hua grabbed Zhang Bao'er who wanted to rush into the fire.

Uncle Hua said: "Uncle, he has gone crazy, you will only end up like Shi Jin and Tao Wan in the past, and become a martyr under Duan Lianting's sword." ”

Rumble! The two doorposts of the hall cracked in the flames, and the tall hall collapsed with a bang, and in an instant it was drowned in the molten flames.

At noon, the torrential rain finally swept in, and the pouring rain doused the raging flames, but the Sword Forge Villa had been burned to the ground, leaving only ashes on the ground. Zhang Baoer, Jiang Yuqiao and Uncle Hua stood by the wooden bridge, quietly watching all this in front of them.

A figure slowly walked behind them.

Zhang Bao'er turned around and asked calmly, "Master Yuan, you haven't left yet?" ”

"I don't worry about you!" There was an indescribable kindness on Yuan Feng's face.

Jiang Yuqiao looked at Yuan Feng, his eyes were like a sword, and he said word by word: "You are the test stone?" ”

Yuan Feng also looked at Jiang Yuqiao: "Exactly!" ”

Zhang Bao'er's lazy voice came: "Father-in-law, don't forget, you promised Xiaotong!" ”

Jiang Yuqiao, who wanted to compete with Yuan Feng, listened to Zhang Baoer's words, and the raging fire in his heart was suddenly extinguished.

"The once illustrious Sword Forge Villa has been reduced to ashes." Yuan Feng sighed: "From now on, there will be no Sword Casting Villa in the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhang Bao'er said with emotion: "The ancestors of Sword Casting Villa have sweat and diligence to have a world-famous mountain villa, but since Duan Lianting used sin to forge a sword, it is no longer a Sword Casting Villa. Duan Lianting often said that he didn't want to lose, but from the moment he had evil thoughts, he had already lost. ”

Uncle Hua said regretfully on the side: "As soon as Duan Lianting dies, we no longer know who his lord is!" ”

When Jiang Yuqiao heard this, he suddenly took out a small box from his pocket and said, "Bao'er, this small box is placed on the wooden shelf on the highest floor of the armory room, it is extremely important, maybe this box can help you find the lord of Duan Lianting." ”

Zhang Baoer took the box, nodded at Uncle Hua and said, "Don't worry, one day, I will solve the mystery." ”

Uncle Hua looked at Zhang Bao'er and said, "Uncle, I believe you will win?" ”

"Things are unpredictable, success or failure is unpredictable, but there is always hope." Zhang Bao'er looked at the ruined ruins and said: "In the spring of next year, new shoots will grow on this ruin, and then safflowers, weeds, small trees, and a new beginning will grow." ”

……

These days, Song Jing has not been idle, the headless corpse case has been haunting his heart, and the first thing he thought of was the official road under Wolong Mountain. At this moment, there happened to be nothing to do, Song Jing felt bored, so he decided to go to the official road for a walk, maybe he could have unexpected gains.

Thinking of this, Song Jing immediately changed into civilian clothes, went to the stable to take his mount Rhubarb, and quietly left the county office through the back door alone.

Out of the east of the city, it is the official road. This official road is the only way to enter Beijing. Every day, there are many pedestrians and horses coming and going from the south to the north. Song Jing, who had just learned to ride a horse, didn't dare to whip up his horse, but just walked slowly.

At that time, the imperial examination was held once every three years, and the tributes from all over the country entered Beijing to catch the examination. Looking at these students, Song Jing couldn't help but recall that he participated in the scientific examination back then, won the Jinshi background in one fell swoop, joined the Hanlin Academy, and became a Beijing official that everyone envied.

At this time, it coincides with the late spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the falling flowers are colorful. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of life. Song Jing was so comfortable to watch, and his heart was relaxed.

By the time Song Jing returned to the county office, it was already the time to hold the lamp. His steps were a little light and he looked tired.

Master Zhang Sheng was already waiting anxiously for him at the gate of the county government, and Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him come back safely.

"My lord, where have you been? Why did you come back so late? We're all dying. There was a hint of complaint in Zhang Sheng's tone, but more of a worry.

Song Jing smiled slightly and said apologetically: "I went to the official road for a while, but I just took a distraction, so I came back a little late." ”

Song Jing handed the horse to the master, and said weakly: "You help me lead the horse to the stable." I'm a little tired and want to get some rest. ”

"Okay. Be sure to let us know next time you go out. Otherwise, we don't know where you're going, so we can only do it in a hurry. The master led the horse and walked to the backyard, remembering something again, and turned his head and said, "Oh, yes, my lord." The two headless corpses stinked a little. I think we'd better bury them. It's getting hotter and hotter, and if you don't bury it, you're going to have maggots. ”

"No way!" Song Jing said categorically: "The case is unsolved, and the body cannot be buried." You can arrange for someone to do a good job of embalming them tomorrow. ”

"Okay." Zhang Sheng had to obey.
