Chapter Seventy-Three: Cicada 4
I don't know when the sun is coming, but fortunately it is not sunny today, so the sky just looks a little gray.
The sound of cicadas sounded in the courtyard, and the corner of the wall gradually ignited the sound of crickets squeaking and disgusting.
In the small courtyard, the old man couldn't help laughing, and then gently helped the young man on the ground up, and sighed: "Tsing Yi, what are you doing...... The old man doesn't blame you either. ”
Tsing Yi, who was supported by the old man, still had a slight palpitation in his eyes, but his body was no longer trembling, and he replied in a loud voice: "Thank you...... Thank you, sir......"
The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a gentle attitude on his face, and a slightly reproachful tone, and said, "You kid...... Hehe...... If only Cong'er were as well-behaved as you...... You're right, Cong'er is stupid......"
"Young master, he ......" The young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's all because Shen Wuyan is too cunning...... Blame him for his luck, who would have thought that the emperor would testify for him in person......"
The old man's face gradually became solemn, and then his stubby fingers tapped on the forehead of the young man in Tsing Yi, and his tone gradually became cold: "Blame the enemy for being too cunning? No, no, no, this is Tsing Yi, you are stupid...... It's not luck...... You don't know how much the Emperor wanted to kill Shen Wuyan before this...... It's a pity that he changed the emperor's mind......"
"This ......" the young man in Tsing Yi opened his mouth, but finally had to keep silent. Although he didn't know how that Mr. Shen had made the emperor change his attitude, he also knew how difficult it was.
Saying this, the old man suddenly turned his head, looked at Shen Wuyan who was standing in front of the courtyard, and smiled, "Since you're here...... Then come and sit down......"
Shen Wuyan nodded, this was the second time he had seen this old man, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of relief. Even if everything about the other party, he could guess it at this time.
There was also a chair next to the old man, and both of them were sitting on the chair, and the man in Tsing Yi was still standing on the side.
After sitting down, the old man pointed to the old locust tree and said softly, "Does Mr. Shen know...... What is the old man looking at? ”
Shen Wuyan frowned slightly, and said softly, "Want to come...... The old gentleman is looking for the cicadas in this tree......"
The man in Tsing Yi on the side hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but glance at this Mr. Shen a few more times, thinking in his heart how many years he had been looking at the tree with the master, and he didn't know what he was looking at, how could you guess.
Just thinking about it, I saw a hint of appreciation flashing in the old man's eyes: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Shen, and you can see the key to this at a glance...... The old man is indeed looking at the cicada, this cicada that has been dormant for a winter. ”
probably felt that someone finally understood him, so the old man seemed extremely excited, and before Shen Wuyan asked, he couldn't wait: "Cicadas hibernate at the roots of big trees when they are young to suck sap to survive, and then gradually grow...... After several transformations, it has become today's cicada ......"
Shen Wuyan nodded and muttered, "The old gentleman has really taken great pains, and he has been ...... thousands of families over the years But it also laid this big net in the capital, and the dormant one was really unfathomable. ”
was said by Shen Wuyan, the old man couldn't help giggling, but said in his mouth: "Cicada is forbearing...... For many years, the old man has been so quiet...... Don't say a word, because it's good to be a blockbuster. ”
Shen Wuyan smiled and sighed, "The old man really did it...... It was indeed a blockbuster, assassinating His Majesty twice...... provoked a war between the two countries...... It's remarkable. ”
"Mr. Shen is wrong...... the old man smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I really didn't expect Li He to be so breathless...... I can't say that if I wait a few days, the emperor himself will die. ”
Shen Wuyan's face changed slightly, although it is not a secret that His Majesty is weak and seriously ill today, there are really few people who know such details.
Even Gao Gong didn't dare to say it easily, His Majesty was waiting for a few days, and he would die.
It's just that the old man in front of him seems to know these things very well, which also shows that the entire palace is full of his people. Hearing this, Shen Wuyan's heart felt a little creepy.
The old gentleman also blamed Li He...... He has really survived for more than ten years...... It's already pretty good. ”
The old man's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he chuckled lightly and said, "If you say who is doing the best cicada in the Ming Dynasty now...... When you want to count Xu Jie, Xu Ge is ...... It's a pity that he has retired now, otherwise the situation today is really difficult to say. ”
Shen Wuyan's face was heavy, he pointed to the old locust tree, and said, "It's a pity that this cicada just chirped today...... was discovered...... Now this praying mantis has been waiting behind it for a long time......"
"Aren't you afraid that there will be yellow finches behind this praying mantis?" The old man smiled, then waved his hand and said lightly: "Tsing Yi...... Since Mr. Shen sent him to the door, let's kill him......"
After the previous questions and answers from the two, Tsing Yi really admired Shen Wuyan. He even thinks that with his master's knowledge, there are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can talk to him, and this Mr. Shen at this time is one.
But admiration is admiration, the master ordered to kill him, and he couldn't let go.
"I admire Mr. Shen's knowledge...... It's a pity that Mr. Shen's knife skills are not as good as the next ...... So ......"
Before the words fell, Tsing Yi had already come out. The blade is not very sharp, and it seems that it has not been unsheathed in a long time.
However, Shen Wuyan believed that with the means of this young man in Tsing Yi, even a knife with embroidery could easily cut off his head.
Tsing Yi's body was vigorous, and Shen Wuyan could barely see the other party's knife method, so he had to take advantage of the gap to pull out the katana at his waist to block, but it was really difficult to deal with Tsing Yi's tricks.
The rusty long knife seemed to be dancing in the hands of the young man in Tsing Yi, the tricks were feminine and ruthless, and if he was not careful, he would probably be seriously injured by the blade.
But he saw the man in Tsing Yi galloping towards Shen Wuyan, who was resting against the wall, and the blade of the sword in his hand was pointed directly at Shen Wuyan's henchman. Shen Wuyan didn't have time to dodge, and even lost the strength to swing his sword.
The man in Tsing Yi looked at him with a feverish gaze, as if he had seen the blood-stained long knife in the next moment.
The blade did not stab Shen Wuyan, but a burst of sparks flashed, and then he saw a gray-clothed young man standing in front of Shen Wuyan with a katana, and said softly, "What does Childe think?" ”
Shen Wuyan's face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "This stick is really powerful, and the knife technique is varied...... Or do you have to deal with it...... Well, of course, it's not that the sword skills of the Wa Kingdom are so good...... They all learn from us...... It's just that I don't know how to learn the arts...... Alas, what kind of attitude do you have......"
Wang Tian didn't wait for Shen Wuyan to finish speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed at the young man in green clothes. He also whispered softly, "If General Yu Dayou is here...... That's naturally his ......."
