Wang Yue was angry, since Yicheng, he has not been insulted, but those who have insulted him have paid the price. The Han is still virtuous, and no one can be indifferent to the insults of others, otherwise he will be a coward.

Wang Yue is not a coward, although he desperately wants to be an official, he is not a coward.

He was the first swordsman of the Kyoshi Division.

Wang Yue didn't speak again, he drew his sword. Although he had drunk half the night, his hands were still steady and his sword was still sharp.

The person next to him saw a sword light, and immediately held his breath, although most of them had seen life and death, but at this time, watching the first swordsman of the Beijing Division kill people, no matter from which aspect, it was a matter worth being nervous about.

Almost everyone came to the same conclusion, Wang Yue's sword was very fast, and this young man named Liu Xiu was dead.

Cao Poshi showed a bright smile, he had thought about countless scenes, but he never thought that Liu Xiu would come to the door to die. It's really timely, if he came early, he really didn't know how to ask Wang Yue to make a move. Without the amazing swordsmanship of the first swordsman of the Beijing Division, Cao Poshi was not sure that he would be able to kill Liu Xiu here.

Cao Poshi has some regrets, isn't it a pity that this opponent died like this? Because of him, he paid 10,000 stone of grain and 50 million yuan.

Almost instantly, Wang Yue stabbed out thirteen swords, and Liu Xiu took two steps back.

It was these two steps that made Wang Yue's thirteen swords like a storm almost all miss, but two small holes were pierced in his left shoulder and right chest, revealing the silk inside. Liu Xiu stopped laughing, he lowered his head, looked at the two holes, and sighed: "Zhongkang mistook me!" He said that although you are known as the fast sword, the thirteen styles of the wind are invincible, but in fact, only the first ten swords can still be seen, and the last three swords are just bluffing. Unfortunately, it was these last two swords that pierced my new clothes. ”

Wang Yue could no longer maintain a steady breathing, his always stable eyes were also a little chaotic, although he was angry, he did not lose his mind, as soon as he made a move, he became famous for the Rapid Wind Thirteen Style, but he found that Liu Xiu's body was not under him, the first eleven swords all failed, only the last two swords stabbed Liu Xiu, because Liu Xiu did not continue to retreat after taking two steps back, he followed up in time, and the tip of the sword pierced his coat.

But that's all he gained.

Wang Yue was very shocked, even more shocked than the last time he faced Xu Xu, Xu Yu's martial arts are magical, but among his thirteen swords and swords, he is not happy at all, but today facing Liu Xiu, he found that Liu Xiu seems to be the legendary fairy ape who can only swordsmanship, so flexible that he is unpredictable, and although his name is Yue, he does not have the exquisite swordsmanship of Yue Nu.

He couldn't stab Liu Xiu.

In his memory, this was the first time since arriving in Luoyang that he found that his sword had missed his opponent.

"You won." Liu Xiu dusted off his clothes, raised his head, and looked at Wang Yue calmly: "The number one swordsman in the Beijing Division, he is worthy of his name." Will you give way now? ”

Wang Yue was stunned there, not knowing how to answer Liu Xiu. The people next to each other looked at each other and thought it was incredible, and none of them spoke because they didn't know what to say. Wang Yue won? But why did he seem to lose?

After a moment of dead silence, Cao Poshi's scream broke the silence: "Kill him—"

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and struck again, the long sword tore through the air soaked in the smell of wine and fat powder in the hall, and went straight to Liu Xiu's chest. Liu Xiu's face sank, and he suddenly dodged sideways. The more prepared Wang Yue had, the sword went as he pleased, and moved closely with Liu Xiu. But at this moment, an accident happened, a cold wind came to his face, and then a black shadow instantly enlarged, as if to envelop him in it.

"Medium!" Wang Yue was shocked, shook his wrist, and struck again in the Thirteenth Style of Rushing Wind.

He stabbed.

Wang Yue was ecstatic, withdrew quickly, and dodged the flying of the black shadow in an instant.

A large piece fell to the ground, with thirteen holes in it, and a canopy of blood.

Cao Poshi covered his throat with one hand, pointed at the ecstatic Wang Yue with the other, his eyes were like copper bells, and blood spurted out from his fingers.

"You...... You ......" He looked at Wang Yue incredulously, and his mouth made a "hiss" sound, like a poisonous snake.

"The Thirteen Swords of the Rapid Wind really live up to its reputation." Liu Xiu praised, picked up the big coat from the ground, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that my new clothes are gone." Wang Yue, we have settled this enmity, and I will settle it with you in the future. With that, he turned and walked backwards.

A frightened maid ran ahead, staggering away with a trembling voice: "Dead—"

Wang Yue wanted to cry without tears. He already understood that Liu Xiu had been there, using his body to block the cold wind pouring in outside the door, which seemed to be a very natural move, but it was actually a trap. While dodging his first sword, Liu Xiu dodged sideways and threw out the big sword at the same time. The cold wind was unshielded, and it came to his face, making him feel the instant chill and make a wrong judgment at the same time, taking the big sword thrown out by Liu Xiu as the enemy, and subconsciously using the best swordsmanship.

But he couldn't understand how he could have stabbed Cao Poshi, who was supposed to be behind him, and when did Cao Poshi, who was originally sitting on the chairman, run in front of him and be stabbed in the throat by him with a sword?

These questions lingered in Wang Yue's heart, but they did not affect the results that everyone saw, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, Wang Yue and Liu Xiu were fighting, why did they suddenly turn around and kill Cao Poshi?

Liu Xiu was in no mood to explain to them, he followed the panicked maid and easily pushed open the door of Cao Jie's room.

The cold wind swirled around Liu Xiu, like a ghost, constantly trying to rush into the room, blowing the door carved with intricate patterns and rattling, and the snowflakes flying around Liu Xiu looked very poetic.

Although Cao Jie had read the poems, he didn't feel a little poetic now, he squinted his eyes, glanced at the maid who fainted with his eyes rolled, and then looked at Liu Xiu who was expressionless, and his back was chilled.

"You're here?" He said inexplicably in a hoarse voice.

"Here we are." Liu Xiu walked into the room and closed the door with him, leaving the wind and blizzard outside. He looked around, then walked up to Cao Jie, pulled a brocade seat and sat down, took out the short knife from his arms and gently rested it on the case.

Cao Jie felt suffocated: "If you kill me, you won't survive." ”

"No, I can only live if I kill you." Liu Xiu smiled slightly. Stretched out his hand to take the delicate small wine jug next to him, took a cup and poured himself a glass of wine, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good wine, this is the barley bar of Xiangyang's tribute?" ”

Cao Jie wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, he glanced at the short knife less than three feet away from him, and hesitated whether to take it while Liu Xiu was drinking and stab Liu Xiu to death. The thought flashed through him, and he dispelled it. As an old man who will be seventy years old next year, he knew that it would be an unwise decision to compete with Liu Xiu, who would only be twenty next year.

Although he was also a good West Park rider back then.

"You are guilty of deceit." Cao Jie tried his best to make himself appear calmer, and he reached out to pick up his wine glass with the slowest movement, so as not to cause Liu Xiu's misunderstanding. Liu Xiu glanced at him, poured him a full wine with the wine jug in his hand, and then looked at him silently. Cao Jie took a sip of wine, calmed down a little, and then said, "However, I can not say it. ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Your brother is dead, although I didn't kill him, but you definitely think I killed him." ”

Cao Jie's eyebrows trembled: "Since you said that you didn't kill it, of course you didn't kill it, I believe you." He paused, then added, "You leave now, and I can guarantee that you will not be implicated." I won't talk about it again. ”

"Hehehe......" Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, he shook his head gently, and seemed to think that Cao Jie's words were very ridiculous. Cao Jie's heart tightened for a while, but his face was still very calm, except for the uncontrollable twitching of the corners of his eyes.

"You must know that the crime of deceitful kings must be convicted." Cao Jie continued, "Not only the Wang family, but you can't escape the involvement, as well as your disciple Zhang Fei, as well as Bi Lan and Liu Yunshuang of the Little Yellow Sect. Do you think Zhang Fei can hide the fact that Zhang Fei changed Wang Chu's portrait without permission? ”

Liu Xiu raised his eyelids: "So what?" ”

Cao Jie choked, he didn't know what Liu Xiu meant by this, but he could hear that Liu Xiu didn't take the crime of bullying him seriously at all. He felt that his mouth was a little dry, and subconsciously licked his lips, "You are not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean that the Wang family is not afraid either." ”

"I know it's a crime of deception." Liu Xiu waved his hand, interrupted Cao Jie, and asked puzzledly: "The question is, if you die, who else knows?" Will the Wang family say, or will Bi Lan say? ”

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you have done it." Cao Jie's face turned a little pale: "I'm not the only one who knows about this. ”

"Since you know that I have committed the crime of deceiving the king, why don't you tell the Son of Heaven, but instead bargain with me here? Making a deal with a person who is guilty of deceitful is also a deceptive sin, can you tell someone about it? I still understand such a simple logic. Liu Xiu put down the wine glass, took out the short knife, and focused on trimming his nails, then raised his head again and looked at Cao Jie with pity: "Since you haven't told others, then why should I believe you, wouldn't it be safer to kill you?" He shook his hand and interrupted Cao Jie's pale defense: "Don't think about those useless things. Today, you have to die, the difference is just a different place in the body, or a whole corpse. ”

Cao Jie's face turned white all of a sudden, he knew that he didn't have to say anything more, Liu Xiu had no intention of bargaining with him from the moment he stepped into the door, and he didn't care about his threats at all, in fact, he knew that it was impossible for him to tell others about it. The most important secret is always in your own hands, and there is no reason to give it to others.

The only mistake he made was that he thought that Liu Xiu would discuss with him and ask him for mercy, but he didn't expect that Liu Xiu would use the most direct and violent means to kill people and kill people, and he broke in so openly, calmly telling him in a very calm tone as if he was going home.

I'm going to kill you, so I'm safest.

The so-called strategies are all based on the accurate grasp of the opponent, and the same strategy may be completely opposite for different people. If a mistake is made at this point, even the most elaborate plan will become a joke. He always thought that Liu Xiu won by scheming, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to have such a simple and direct reaction. At this moment, all of Cao Jie's ideas came to naught.

The dead can't speak, and who will bargain with the dead?

Cao Jie could no longer control his emotions, could no longer maintain his composure, and his whole body trembled. His lips trembled, he raised a hand, pointed at Liu Xiu's nose, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You killed the minister......"

Liu Xiu squinted his eyes, looked at his other hand that was quietly stretched out to the wine jug, and said indifferently: "Your hand is shaking so much, can you still afford to hold the wine jug?" Then he raised his head and looked at Cao Jie, his eyes full of contempt: "I'll kill in vain, you bite me?" ”

"Kill me, and you won't be able to escape."

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Xiu patted his head, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't have a bird." In a word, whether I can escape or not has nothing to do with you, you should first think about what to do if you meet Li Ying on Huangquan Road. ”

Cao Jie's face is like ashes. There was endless horror in his eyes, was the young man in front of him old or reckless? He shook it, his throat was sweet, let out a long wail, and fell limply to the ground.

Liu Xiu pushed away the frightened women, and when he came out of the back room, there was no longer a single guest in the front hall, only the messy cups and plates and Cao Poshi's corpse. The servants of the Cao Mansion scurried back and forth like a swarm of headless flies, many of them had a few valuable things in their hands, and some even tore for a certain item, but none of them cared about Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu sighed, turned around and walked out, disappearing into the vast wind and snow.

Jiaofang Palace, along the wall there are four burning stoves, the copper spout resting on it comes out with a sweet smell of heat, the whole Jiaofang Hall is warm, the center of the room is lit with a largest stove, the red charcoal fire licks the bottom of a copper kettle.

The Son of Heaven hugged the hot hand stove, sat comfortably on the brocade couch, and Queen Song sat quietly at the other end of the brocade couch, her eyes didn't even look at He Guiren sitting below, she was engrossed in peeling the pine nuts in her hands, peeling off the hard shell above with her slender nails, picking out the pine nuts inside, and then sending the golden pine nuts to the mouth of the Son of Heaven with a gentle smile. The Son of Heaven grabbed Songren and licked Queen Song's fingers at the same time, his eyes met with Queen Song, and the two laughed in unison. Empress Song turned her head shyly, avoiding the teasing gaze of the Son of Heaven, and glanced at He Guiren intentionally or unintentionally.

He Guiren's face was pale, and he pinched the corners of his clothes tightly, because he was too hard, and his knuckles showed a little blue and white. She couldn't wait to lift the copper stove in front of her, and poured a whole pot of boiling water on Queen Song's body, especially on her face.

She was so disgusted by the hateful smile on her face.

"Don't be bitter, if this is painted, what is it called a family carnival?" The Son of Heaven glanced at her with some displeasure. He Guiren was taken aback, hurriedly relaxed his expression, and said with a forced smile: "The concubine is guilty." ”

Le Song and Jiang Lan sat in the distance and painted with their hearts, and the Son of Heaven asked them to draw a picture of family happiness, so they had to sit here and look at this "family carnival". They slandered Liu Xiu, the owner of the Tai Chi Taoist Hall while painting, what are you doing, the painting has to be painted in front of people, not only the painting is tired, but the painting is also tired, compared to how noble people, although she sits here like sitting on the fire, but the Son of Heaven wants to see the family carnival, she can't leave a step, not only that, but also have to pretend to be very happy, how tired and tired.

Her current expression, how can she not see that there is half a taste of "family carnival".

"Your Majesty......" Jian Shuo hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the warm scene in the hall, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"What's the matter?" Tianzi beckoned to him with a smile, "Come close, pick a pine nut to eat." This is a fresh product from Liaodong this year, don't look inconspicuous, the taste is really good. ”

Jian Shuo hurriedly thanked him, walked to the copper furnace in the center, took two pine nuts, but he didn't have time to eat them, and walked quickly to the Son of Heaven and whispered a few words.

"What?" The Son of Heaven's face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at Jian Shuo, his eyes sharp. "Cao Jie is dead?"

"Hmm." Jian Shuo was startled, and hurriedly took two steps back: "Henan Yin He came in to report, they just received the news that Cao Jie and Cao Poshi died in Cao Jie's mansion. ”

Tianzi Teng stood up and shouted, "Who did it? ”

Jian Shuo hesitated: "Cao Poshi was mistakenly killed by Wang Yue, Cao Jie ...... Cao Jie is ......"

"What is it? Say it. The Son of Heaven was furious, and his voice echoed in the hall.

"Cao Jie has no external injuries on his body, and he looks ...... It looks like a natural death. Jian Shuo was so frightened that he changed color and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Natural death?" The Son of Heaven seemed to find it funny, and couldn't help laughing: "This old eunuch didn't live to seventy." He thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "How could Wang Yue hurt Cao Poshi, isn't he the number one swordsman in the Jingshi, and he drank too much wine?" ”

Jian Shuo was speechless, plucked up his courage and continued: "Your Majesty, some people say that all this is ...... It was all caused by Liu Xiu. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the hall were stunned. The Son of Heaven looked at Jian Shuo puzzled, as if he was thinking about which Liu Xiu he was talking about. Queen Song was startled, the smile on her face disappeared, she straightened up, and looked at Jian Shuo intently. He Guiren couldn't help but smile and secretly clenched his fists.

"Which Liu Xiu?" The Son of Heaven broke the silence.

"Liu Xiu and Liu Deran in the wait."

"He's back in Luoyang? How...... How...... What did he do when he went to Cao Jiefu? ”

"Minister...... The minister didn't know. Jian Shuo was also a little inexplicable, "However, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi has already gone to the Taiji Daoist Hall to arrest Liu Xiu, and there must be a result soon." ”

The Son of Heaven's eyes flashed, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing, sat back on the couch, and waved his hand to Jiang Le and the others: "Keep painting." ”
