Chapter 128 Chess Meets Opponents
Cang Xiangtian really came, looked at the rooms in front of him, and stood there with a knife in one hand, but he was not masked. He knew that the house must be prepared, but he came anyway, because his injured right hand could already hold a knife. For a conceited person, it doesn't matter if the enemy is outnumbered, as long as he has a knife.
Yuanhang didn't sleep either, waiting for his arrival. Walk from the room to the courtyard and stand there with your hands on your back. Dao Zi and Ah Jin stood behind him left and right, Meteor didn't know what to chew in his mouth, and stood in front of his door with a bow and watched Cang Xiangtian.
The moonlight is still a little light, and the light voyage can't see the face of the sky clearly. Dao Zi knew that this person was the one who saved the child in front of his horse. Ear went over and told the voyage. Yuan Voyage nodded slightly after hearing this.
"I know you're coming, but I don't know why you're coming to kill me?" Although Yuanhang couldn't see clearly, he still stared at him with wide eyes and asked.
"Entrusted by men." Cang Xiangtian also looked at the voyage and said lightly.
"It must be that Chen Fu, right?" Yuanhang asked casually, also tentatively.
"No comment." Cang Xiangtian seems to be very talkative, and cherishes words like gold.
Yuanhang shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "Isn't it good to be a friend?" Besides, you may not be able to kill me. Yuanhang heard Dao Zi say that he rescued the child, and knew that this person was not an evil person, so he said a few more words to him.
Cang Xiangtian didn't want to talk to him, so he slowly lifted the knife. Dao Zi stepped forward and pulled out the half-moon scimitar from his boot to block it in front of Yuanhang. The meteor pulled out the arrow with great speed and landed on the string.
Cang Xiangtian didn't say a word, his feet were wrong, he pushed the window to look at the moon with a move, and the horizontal knife swung to the purple waist of the knife, and then picked it up. Dao Zi saw it clearly, dodged directly to the right, and turned sideways to cut the scimitar in his hand into a semicircle, as if he was probing for something and running towards Cang Xiangtian's neck. Cang Xiangtian slashed into the air, and without hesitation, he directly stood up the knife to block the door in front of him. "Dangchang" The two knives collided, and there was a shock in their hands, and the two of them each took a step back. After standing firmly, Dao Zi spun the scimitar and flew up without pause, slashing diagonally. Cang Xiangtian turned over and dodged the sharp blow of Dao Zi, and stabbed straight up from below with the knife as a sword. Dao Zi didn't dare to be careless, so he had to return to the knife to block, and the two knives intersected by mistake from above, and a series of friction sounds were extremely harsh in the quiet night, bringing a string of sparks flying around.
Ah Jin pulled out his soft sword and wanted to help Dao Zi, but Yuanhang reached out to stop it and continued to watch them fight.
The incessant crashing of weapons alarmed the guards in the palace, and a group of soldiers ran into the courtyard with torches and surrounded the two men in the fight. The courtyard was lit up by torches, and the voyage basically saw the appearance of the sky clearly.
At the age of his early thirties, he has a wide body and a wide head, and his body is as strong as a cow, stronger than Dao Zi. The two fought too fast, and they didn't look at their faces carefully, but they only saw that their faces were sharp and angular, which was quite heroic.
The two exchanged positions back and forth, and from time to time there was the sound of weapons colliding, and after a quarter of an hour of fighting, there was still no winner or loser. Yuanhang opened his mouth and yawned.
Cang Xiangtian's right hand holding the knife began to ache faintly, and the wound seemed to crack open after a few fights, and he had already felt blood flowing out, and the handle of the knife was sticky and slippery. Dao Zi stood opposite him, and he also felt that his right arm trembled slightly, and saw that he had a green cloth wrapped in his hand, which must have been caused by the recurrence of an old injury. Although I admired the other party in my heart, after all, this person came to assassinate the adult. With a slight hesitation, he pounced again.
Cang Xiangtian knew that he would not be able to complete his mission today. The other party's man, even if he is not injured, he may not be able to win alone. What's more, there is a master next to the man who has not made a move, and the child who is extremely fast in arrows, it seems that he died here today. Seeing the purple wheel knife coming, he had to grit his steel teeth to meet him.
After a few more rounds of fighting, Cang Xiangtian's right hand was already in unbearable pain, and blood began to flow down the hilt, although he was still holding the knife, his right arm was already visibly shaking. Dao Zi found the right opportunity, rolled over on its side, and the scimitar slashed head-on. Cang Xiangtian didn't have time to retreat, so he had to raise his knife to block it, and after a crash, Cang Xiangtian's long knife fell out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and he took three steps back before he stood firm.
The purple scimitar kept spinning in his hand, and the cold light of his eyes stared at the sky a few steps away.
Cang Xiangtian did not choose to run away this time, but smiled bitterly and said lightly: "You won." ”
Dao Zi stopped the scimitar, held it in his hand, shook his head and said, "I didn't touch you at all, it was because you were injured that I was defeated." ”
"Even if I am uninjured, I will not defeat you, and it is not in vain to die under your sword, dare to ask for the surname of Han Zun." Cang Xiangtian raised his blood-dripping right hand and said to Dao Zi.
"My name is Dao Zi." Dao Zi shook the knife in return and turned his head to look at the voyage.
When Yuanhang saw Dao Zi coming, he knew that he must be a hero and cherished a hero, and he couldn't bear to take his life. Laughing and taking a few steps, Ah Kim followed closely.
"Can you tell me who sent you?" Yuanhang didn't dare to go too far ahead, so he walked behind Dao Zi and asked Cang Xiangtian.
Cang Xiangtian didn't answer, and shook his head.
Yuanhang took out the medicine bottle to stop the bleeding for Du Wen from his arms, raised his hand and threw it over, Cang Xiangtian still thought that there was a secret weapon, and when he saw that the power of the thing thrown over was soft, he took it with his hand.
"This is the world's unique hemostatic miracle drug, developed with a thousand-year-old He Shou Wu and 10,000-year-old ginseng, you stop the bleeding first." Yuanhang boasted exaggeratedly, and listened to the golden grin beside him. Although my medicine is good, I can't reach this one. Besides, those two medicinal materials are not to stop bleeding, and they are still thousands of years old......
"No, why do people who are dying need medicine." Cang Xiangtian turned his hand and threw the medicine bottle back to Yuanhang. He clenched his right hand tightly.
Yuanhang held the medicine bottle in his arms, picked it up, looked at it and put it back in his arms, and said to Cang Xiangtian: "Since you don't use medicine, then you can go, don't delay my sleep." ”
Everyone was stunned, Cang Xiangtian looked at the voyage suspiciously, Ah Jin leaned over and said, "My lord......"
Yuanhang waved his hand, looked at Cang Xiangtian, and said, "Dao Zi said that you once saved a child, so I let you go once." If there is a next time, I will not be blamed. ”
Cang Xiangtian hesitated, slowly clenched his fists and said to Yuanhang: "Thank you for your grace not to kill, don't leave it at that." After speaking, he turned around, hugged his fist at Dao Zi, leaned over and picked up the long knife and turned to leave.
"Your Excellency, you are merciful again." Ah Jin watched Cang Xiangtian walk out of the house, stood behind Yuanhang and said lightly.
Yuanhang looked back at Ah Jin, chuckled, and said, "It's not that I'm kind, but Dao Zi has no intention of killing him." After speaking, he looked at Dao Zi.
Dao Zi nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord." ”
Yuanhang took two steps forward, stopped and said, "I know that you see that this person is injured, and you can't win." It's just that this person is strong in martial arts, and I don't know where it came from. If you come again, you won't be able to stay. ”
"Yes, sir." Dao Zi replied. In my heart, I hope that after the man recovers from his injury, I will fight him again.
Out of the garrison mansion, Cang Xiangtian returned to the small inn, took out the hemostatic medicine and bandaged his right hand again. Thinking of what had just happened, he secretly made up his mind that he would leave the Central Plains and return to Saibei when the city gate opened at dawn tomorrow.
"Ouch, girl, are you going to stay in a hotel?" Cang Xiangtian's thoughts were undecided, and the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door.
"I ...... I don't have any money, so can I stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning? A woman's voice came weakly.
"That's not right. Girl, to tell you the truth, I haven't had a guest here for a few months, and you said that one came and borrowed it...... You'd better go somewhere else. The shopkeeper raised his voice and pushed out.
"Shopkeeper, I'll only stay for one night, and I'll send the silver taels in the future." The woman was still pleading.
"Hurry up, hurry up. It's all too long, and I'm going to close the door. The shopkeeper did not show any mercy and shouted outward.
Cang Xiangtian opened the door and walked out. I saw that the shopkeeper was pushing a woman, who had some messy hair and was wearing a man's clothes, as if she was homeless.
"Shopkeeper, give her a room." After speaking, he took out a small piece of silver and put it on the counter, and glanced at the woman. The woman also looked at him, but she was masked that night, and neither of them recognized the other. This woman is Du Wen who escaped from the garrison.
"Thank you, strong man." Du Wen gave a salute, causing the pain of the wound, and couldn't help frowning, and stretched out her left hand to cover her right shoulder.
Cang Xiangtian didn't say anything in his eyes, turned around and went back to his room. When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he took Du Wen to a room next to Cang Xiangtian.
After a while, Cang Xiangtian walked out again, asked the shopkeeper Du Wen's room, and walked straight over.
After knocking on the door, Cang Xiangtian handed over a medicine bottle and said, "Maybe you can use this." ”
Before Du Wen could answer, Cang Xiangtian threw the medicine bottle over, turned his head and walked away. Du Wen hesitated after taking it, and slowly closed the door.
The fifth prince, Zhang Cheng, received Zhang Zong's letter and hurriedly called his teacher Conglin to discuss.
Conglin watched the letter pacing back and forth in the house, half silent, so anxious that Zhang Cheng rubbed his hands back and forth.
"What does the teacher think?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help it and asked.
"Cheng'er, this is to lure you into the urn." Conglin sighed and said: "If you don't go, the third prince can write to Da Liang, saying that he intends to submit, so that he will put the blame on you and find an excuse for them to fight with Da Liang." If you win, you will be fine, and if you lose, they also have a saying, but they are afraid that the emperor will be angry with you at that time. ”
"Then we have to go to Guzhou?" Zhang Cheng asked without any assertions.
"I can't get out when I go. And you are in Guzhou, how can I go to attack Kaizhou? I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the plan to encircle both sides of the girder. "The jungle is so calculating what the outcome will be.
"To go or not to go?"
"To go is to go, that's the only way to do it." Conglin frowned, leaned over and whispered something to Zhang Cheng.
"Well, I'll have to give it a try." Zhang Cheng nodded after hearing this, but there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows.
