Chapter 669: Chan'er
Outside the tavern, next to the horse pile.
A sergeant was getting up from the ground, his back and buttocks covered in dust, and the sergeant rubbed his right leg vigorously, cursing and cursing incessantly. A few steps behind him, more than a dozen sergeants were watching the excitement, laughing very presumptuously.
"Comfortable, huh? I just kicked my right foot, why don't I let it kick my left leg again, and both legs will be blessed and enjoy the same hardships! β
"It's just a matter of strolling around the market, but you can't get along with this horse, just with the status of people like us, can you keep such a miraculous horse? What's even funnier is that I was kicked to the ground by a brute, and I laughed to death! β
"What do you know, people are smart people, handing over this war horse, although it may not be possible to promote a thousand people, it shouldn't be difficult to get a hundred people or something. Otherwise, why do you think the chief would do it himself, instead of asking everyone to help? The other sergeant was a little jealous, his eyes full of greed.
The other sergeants woke up one by one like a dream, and one by one began to regret their hindsight.
Good horses are hard to find, like such a divine horse and snow-white war horse, the attraction of the military general is great, and the su zhì of the war horse is directly related to the general's chance of survival on the battlefield. Xiaoxue's flying snow, which was given by Zalu, the young patriarch of the Talan tribe, is the best one except for Mofeng, such a horse is naturally easy for people to covet.
These sergeants who go out to camp and shop in their spare time are all under the command of Zhonglang General Lu Bu, Lu Bu Yong crowns the three armies, and is the most popular celebrity in front of Dong Zhuo, which also makes the soldiers under Lu Bu arrogant and domineering on weekdays, often robbing and plundering in Chang'an City, no one dares to care at all, and ordinary court officials dare not do anything to them. Today, the sergeants were told that there was a flying snow, and their eyes lit up, and they had not discussed it, and the shopkeeper of the tavern was standing in the house with a frightened face, and a fellow was hurrying to report to the owner. The fact that the diners' horses were robbed and they didn't even have the courage to stop them shows the depth of the prestige of these sergeants.
The sneer of his companion made the sergeant who got up from the ground a little unbearable, and in annoyance, the sergeant pulled out his sword with a "poof". Pointing at a white horse and scolding, "Dare to kick Lao Tzu, provoke the uncle to cut off your hooves and drink wine!" β
At this moment, a cold voice came into everyone's ears, full of disdain, the volume was not high, but it seemed to be spoken in everyone's ears, and everyone could hear it clearly.
"I can't even handle a horse, it's a shame."
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
The sergeant's face was already uncontrollable. Now he is being ridiculed again. I was even more restless. Turning to look at his companion. Seeing that the sergeants in the same place also looked around inexplicably. And the taunt just now obviously didn't come from the mouth of a companion. The sergeant's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Who hid in the shadows and farted? There is a kind of land for Lao Tzu to get out! β
There was silence all around. Outside the tavern, I was going to see the lively passers-by. I don't want to be taken as the person who just spoke. One by one, they moved their steps. Fade away.
Seeing that no one answered. The sword-carrying sergeant felt a light on his face. The anger on his face gradually subsided. Strike a majestic pose. Snorted coldly: "Guts rats." Only dare to make noise in the dark. If you dare to appear in front of the uncle. He must be splattered with blood in five steps! β
That's when it happened. The sergeant had been lightly smashed on the head. Take a closer look. A chicken bone. The other dozen or so sergeants felt a flash in front of them. Next to the horse stake, behind the sergeant with the sword. There was already a man in his thirties in a strong shirt. Weirdly yes. No one saw it. When did he appear.
Liu Xing stood there expressionlessly. There is also a chicken leg shaking up and down on the side of his mouth. The chicken bone that smashed people. Apparently his masterpiece. Although Liu Xing did not deliberately release a compelling momentum. But there were more than a dozen sergeants in the field. It's all horrified. In broad daylight, he suddenly appeared under everyone's noses. It's just this light work. It's already horrifying.
The sergeant with the knife has also seen that something is wrong. Following the shocked gaze of his companions, as soon as he made contact with Liu Xing's gaze, a chill involuntarily spread in his heart. Although he was smashed on the head with the leftover chicken bones, the sergeant with the knife did not dare to scold for a while, and stood there for a long time before he reacted.
"Who are you?"
Liu Xing didn't bother to pay attention to him, just pointed to the two horses tied to the horse stake, and then pointed at himself, and then turned his gaze to the dust on the sergeant's body, with a look of disdain. The more than ten sergeants present immediately understood that Liu Xing was the owner of the white horse.
Although Liu Xing didn't want to cause trouble in Chang'an, the behavior of these sergeants snatching horses on the street without a king's law still made Liu Xing quite annoyed, and his eyes were quite unkind to the sergeant with the knife. At this time, Zhao Xue also followed, and saw that Feixue was fine, so he put his mind at ease, and saw that Liu Xing seemed to have a little urge to beat people, so he hurriedly gently pulled the corners of Liu Xing's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, Feixue was not robbed by them, and kicked that person, third brother, forget it." β
Zhao Xue began to regret a little that she insisted on coming to Chang'an to have a look.
After entering the city for a short time, he first encountered a group of thieves, and now he encountered a group of sergeants robbing horses, which can be seen in the corruption of the law and order in the new king's city. After all, this is Chang'an, and since these sergeants dare to rob horses on the street, it is obviously not a good thing, if they have trouble with these people, it will be difficult to go on in Chang'an City, and it is even unknown whether they can leave the city safely.
Although Liu Xing's temper is relatively hot, he is by no means a person who does not know the general situation, with his skills, it is very likely that he will get up and steal out of the city, but Zhao Xue does not have the ability to come and go, no matter what, he will consider Xiaoxue's safety first, and will definitely not let Zhao Xue take risks. Thinking of this, Liu Xing let out a long sigh and said to those sergeants: "Don't move these two horses, otherwise don't blame me Liu Xing is welcome." β
Everyone knows that Wang Yue, Li Qi and Liu Xingyi married Jin Lan, in the early years, the three of them traveled the rivers and lakes together, and when people in the rivers and lakes mentioned the names of Li Qi and Liu Xing, they often immediately thought of the eldest brother Wang Yue, and then they died down, and the conflict disappeared into invisibility. With Liu Xing's pride, he would not have shown his name in advance, he preferred to beat others up before signing up, but now that Xiaoxue is also by his side, Liu Xing deliberately reported his name first in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. It is hoped that it will have a deterrent effect on these sergeants who do not know whether they are alive or dead.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as Liu Xing's name comes out, it can indeed shake the field and stabilize the situation, after all, Liu Xing is also a master-level martial artist, second only to Wang Yue's CunzΓ i, and his reputation and status are also spelled out in the fight again and again. Looking at the whole country, few people dare to say that their martial arts are above Liu Xing. What's more, even if Liu Xing is defeated, there is another master-level martial artist Li Qi, as well as the legendary invincible Wang Yue, who provoked the consequences of these two characters, just thinking about it makes people's heads fight.
Liu Xingdi's name can indeed be used to avoid evil in many cases.
It's a pity that these more than ten sergeants are not from the rivers and lakes. Although I have heard of the name of Wang Yue, the "No. 1 Wonder Man in China", I am not so familiar with the names of the second-level Li Qi and Liu Xing.
"Liu Xing? Haven't heard of it! β
"This guy must know how good we are. Some of them are timid, and they want to talk to us! β
"If he is scared away like this, let General Lu know that we have lost his face outside, I am afraid that he will be punished again!"
This was the knee-jerk reaction of those sergeants.
As the saying goes, "Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind", Liu Xing's initiative to show favor was regarded by these sergeants as a cowardly expression, and Liu Xing's unwitting appearance just now was also regarded as their own dazzle. Seeing Liu Xing and Zhao Xue turn around to leave. The sergeants grew a little bolder, looked at each other, and began to cheer up.
Especially the sergeant with the knife, who was first kicked down by the horse, and then hit by the greasy chicken bones, can be described as bitter and bitter, if it is just like that, there is no need to puff up his chest in the future. Seeing that Liu Xing didn't seem to dare to continue to entangle with him, he was afraid that the other party would have a lot of people. How could you not seize the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and shouted: "Stop for the military master!" β
The rest of the sergeants also surrounded them with fierce looks, and put on a posture of imminent action.
Liu Xing's eyes were cold, and he gently took Xiaoxue in front of him, and the next moment, he had disappeared from Xiaoxue's side, and with a "choking" sound, the sword was unsheathed!
The sergeant who was closest to Liu Xing only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the simple knife in his hand could no longer be clenched. Missed. There was a crunch. Before Pu Dao landed, a series of exclamations had already sounded first. The whole process takes less than two seconds!
The sword sergeant was bleeding from the tiger's mouth, he had never seen such a fast sword, and the moment Liu Xing's long sword stabbed out, the icy chill soaked his heart and spleen, he didn't even know where Liu Xing's sword would stab, and there was no way to react. It was only at this time that he knew that Liu Xing's martial arts were really beyond the reach of his own group of people, and it was ridiculous that he was trying to teach the other party a lesson.
After the first intimate contact between the steel knife and the ground, the tip of the knife bounced slightly into the air, and the breeze blew, and the sergeant who carried the knife suddenly felt a chill above his head. Frightened, he reached out and touched it, but there was no expected blood, and a handful broke off on the palm of his hand.
"Didn't he just stab me with a sword? When did you cut off my head! β
The sergeant with the sword felt a chill in his heart, if the target of the sword that had been slashed to the ground just now was his neck, he didn't even know how he died. When he turned around and saw the faces of his companions, his face turned pale.
All the sergeants stood there in horror, there were no obvious injuries on their hands, but the silk falling with the wind was enough to tell the story. At this point in time, Liu Xing had already cut off the heads of all the sergeants, plus the two swords among the sergeants with the sword, and even the seventeen swords in the lightning stone fire did not scratch the scalp of any of them, what a clever skill!
"Parents of the body", although the ancients in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the head, but in the face of Liu Xing's absolute force, there was no time to grieve for the loss of the head, and it was a miracle to be able to save a life.
Liu Xing has obviously shown mercy.
With a clear groan, Liu Xing had returned the sword into the sheath, returned to the door of the tavern, and shouted in a low voice: "If you still want to provoke me, go and book a coffin for yourself first, get out!" β
No one dared to doubt whether Liu Xing would really kill the killer after being provoked again, the master-level martial artist who had rarely met an opponent in the rivers and lakes was already really angry at this time, and if there was a real murderous aura, this group of soldiers would fall into the ice cellar one by one. They had never fought against such a feared master, they did not have that qualification, and at that moment just now, they were terrified, death was so close!
These sergeants had already secretly regretted that they had provoked such a strong master, and they didn't even dare to explain a word or two. Gray picked up the blade on the ground, and left without saying a word, and did not dare to stop until he walked more than a hundred meters away. Feeling the strange coolness above their heads, more than ten people wanted to cry without tears.
"Half of my head has been lost, what will I do in the future?"
A sergeant muttered with a sad face, and no one answered his question. Now everyone is more concerned, who is Liu Xing?
"Seriously, I'm still in a state of apprehension, and I'm so lucky to be able to save this life! That person is too terrifying, such a strong skill, he must not be a nobody, let's go back and find someone to inquire. A more sedate sergeant.
"Wait a minute. Before we go back, we have to do one more thing! The sergeant said with a knife.
"What?"
"Find the scar and beat it up! If it weren't for the sΓΉ of the sΓΉ, we had a good horse tethered outside this tavern. The owner of the horse doesn't seem to be from Chang'an, how can the brothers have the humiliation just now? β
"Yes, let's go!"
Poor Scar. After being rectified by Liu Xing, he knew that he couldn't be Liu Xingdi's opponent, but he was made so miserable in front of everyone, and how could Scar, who had been rampant in the market for many years, endure this breath? Although he doesn't have the ability to do anything to Liu Xing, it doesn't mean that he has no other way, this group of sergeants wandering around the market has to be guided by him to grab horses.
In Scar's view, no matter how strong Liu Xing is, he is just a martial arts master, as the so-called "strong dragon does not suppress the head snake". Chang'an City has not yet had Liu Xing's turn to go on a rampage. In the current Chang'an, no one dares to provoke Dong Zhuo, although those sergeants are not high, after all, they are also Lu Bu's subordinates, and they are Dong Zhuo's descendants, even if these people rob Liu Xingdi's horses, presumably the other party will not dare to have an opinion, not only will they have revenge, but they can also send a favor to these soldiers. The future is bright.
He didn't expect that these sergeants would be deflated under Liu Xing's men and transfer their anger to their own land, which was to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot.
In the tavern, after those sergeants left, Liu Xing also left quickly under the persuasion of Zhao Xue.
Although those sergeants are not vulnerable at all, it is really not a good thing to provoke these sergeants when they first arrive in Chang'an. This is not Fengxiang after all. It's better to be cautious. Zhao Xue knew Liu Xing's temper very well, if he said to him, "You can't stay here for a long time." Liu Xing most of the time refused to leave, so Zhao Xue had to say: "While it's still early, let's see if we can find the sister I met in Luoyang." β
Liu Xing naturally understood Zhao Xue's intentions, and he no longer insisted.
"Girl, what's your sister's name? What is an adult's name? β
"Her name is Cicada, it is said that her family's surname is Wang, in her early years, she was the assassin of Yuzhou, and she had quite a lot of achievements in the battle against the Yellow Turban, and she surrendered hundreds of thousands of people, only because she offended the ten permanent servants and was put in prison, and finally got to be pardoned by other important ministers of the court who wanted to save her, and had to be incognito. When I met Chan'er, the court seemed to have the intention of using her family again, but as for the future, I don't know. β
Zhao Xue frowned slightly, she didn't know much about the important people in the court, so she felt clueless.
In order to ensure Cai Yong's safety, Ah Niu sent a number of martial artists to Luoyang to secretly protect them, those martial artists stayed in Chang'an for more than half a year, and they are more familiar with Chang'an City. But Liu Xing and Zhao Xue came to Chang'an secretly this time, and they would have returned to Qingzhou immediately after a walk, if Wang Yue and A Niu and others appeared in the future, they would inevitably be blamed, so long before entering Chang'an City, the two had already made up their minds that they would never contact the martial artists stationed in Chang'an by Feng Xiang.
If you want to find Chan'er, you must first find her family, which is obvious.
"The surname is Wang, who once assassinated the history of Yuzhou, surrendered hundreds of thousands of people during the crusade against the Yellow Turban, and was imprisoned for offending the Ten Standing Servants...... This is difficult to do, the third brother doesn't know. Liu Xing thought about it seriously, and also felt confused, after all, he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't care much about things above the court.
Zhao Xue chuckled, "I knew that I couldn't count on the third brother in this matter, but I had some ideas." Although we don't know where that person is sacred, but Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many people who know these officials, and we know that there are a lot of clues, find some people to spend money to inquire, if there is the best that meets the conditions, if not, you can also break this mind and return to Fengxiang as soon as possible. β
An hour later.
"The Chan'er you know, her family is Wang Yun Wang Situ?" Liu Xing looked surprised.
"It should be. Wang Situ did the history of Yuzhou assassination when he was in his prime; During the crusade against the Yellow Turbans, he and Huangfu Song and others were surrendered hundreds of thousands; It was at that time that Wang Yun showed the letter of Zhang Rang's collusion with the Yellow Turban Army, and reported it to the emperor after verifying it clearly, but unfortunately Zhang Rang denied the past, and was unjustly imprisoned in the second year, and was later pardoned and changed his name between Hedong and Chenliu; When I met Chan'er in Luoyang, it must have been before He Jin asked him to be engaged in Langzhong.
Wang Yun meets all the conditions, and there is no second suitable person! With Chan'er's news, Zhao Xue was in a good mood.
However, didn't those people also say that they hadn't heard that Wang Yun had such a young daughter? Maybe we got it wrong. "It's okay, let's go to Situ Mansion and ask."
"Good!"
