Chrissy nodded: "The four mutilated sword techniques contained in that nameless sword book are indeed extraordinarily powerful, and I think he only exerts three or four percent of the power of this move." β
Qinglu nodded approvingly: "Yes, but his progress has been very fast. β
Chrissy smiled strangely, "Thank you and Gyokuro for your work." β
"What's my business?" Gyokuro, who had been paying attention to the changes in the field, turned her head and asked in surprise.
Chrissy whispered, "That's the two of you teaching Gongzi in bed." Yulu was embarrassed when she heard this, and she wanted to return a few words to Chrissy. Qinglu suddenly shouted softly: "Look, Childe has made a move." β
The Moon Squire originally wanted to wait for Rick's sword momentum to be full before making a move, but when he saw Rick draw such a strange circle, his whole person's momentum was infinitely increasing, and the sword in his hand actually began to tremble non-stop. She secretly felt that something was wrong, and if she didn't make another move at this time, she probably wouldn't have a chance. She didn't use the second sword of the thirteen swords of the moon "Colorful Butterfly Under the Moon to make red makeup", but jumped directly to the third sword "Feng Xiao blows off the water and clouds", the long sword was horizontal in front of her chest, her body jumped up, and after changing several body techniques in mid-air, the sword body began to emit a strange whistling sound, and with the whistling sound, a vague sword cloud fell on Rick's head. In contrast, Rick's reaction seemed a little flat and even clumsy, his sword kept drawing circles in front of him like a swirling wind, leading the Moon Servant's sword move backwards, and strangely, the Moon Servant's cloud-like sword move was like ice meeting fire, gradually dissolving, the momentum gradually faded, and when the final sword move was exhausted, it was no longer powerful. But Rick's trick isn't over yet, to be precise. What he had just used was just a sword move. The real sword moves haven't been used yet.
The Moon Squire smelled danger. The long sword was suddenly retracted, and the trick "Colorful Butterfly Under the Moon with Red Makeup" was performed in mid-air, changing from offense to defense, focusing on defense, Rick laughed: "It's too late." "The sword is like the wind, there is no way to the end of the world, and in an instant, nine swords like silk were swung one after another. The moon squire was still a little scrambling to resist, and the most terrifying thing was not Rick's sword. Rather, it was a sword net composed of nine swords, like a cage that locked the moon attendant inside, and in it, the wind seemed unusually violent, almost as if it was about to crush people.
The heron saw the danger, his body moved, and the next moment he was already in the field, and after a while, he had gone deep into the sword net, and found the real sword in the blurred sword shadow. With a flick of one finger, a "ding" sound similar to a metal collision sounded. The shadows of the swords around him suddenly disappeared, and Rick was stunned, he didn't expect that his proud sword would be broken so easily. The Moon Squire stood aside in shock, as if she had been impressed by the sword just now.
Qinglu scolded: "Yue'er, your sword should have come out a long time ago, it is very dangerous to let the enemy's sword move be full of sword momentum." β
Yue Shi argued: "I didn't expect Childe's martial arts to become so powerful. β
When Rick heard this, he protested, "You mean that I used to embroider my legs with fists?" β
The moon servant pouted, and the meaning was obvious. Rick pulled his sleeves and said, "In this case, let's do it all over again, I don't need to use the trick just now, this time we will make a fist and kick." β
As soon as the moon attendant was about to agree, Chrissy came over and said, "That's it!" Childe, didn't the Admiral of the Nine Gates invite you to his official office? It's almost time, and you should go and get ready. β
Rick remembered that he didn't want to try again, so he hurried to his room.
The Admiralty is located in the south of the city, with one side of the faΓ§ade against the Queen's Road. However, its main entrance is due south, which is different from the various government offices and shops on both sides of Queen's Road.
Perhaps Rick had come early, and when he walked into the Nine Gates Admiral's Office, it was empty, as if no one had cared for it for a long time. After the guards reported, after a while, a squad leader on duty hurriedly came out of it, he told SΓΉ Rick, the Admiral of the Nine Gates and his subordinates to rush to an old mansion in Xicheng, I heard that there was a fierce fight there last night, dozens of dead and wounded, before dawn, the Admiral of the Nine Gates rushed over.
After Rick's first class leader finished speaking, he immediately got into the saddle and rode straight to the West City. The squad leader on duty was probably afraid that Rick didn't know him, so he sent a subordinate to lead Rick's way.
Hurried to the abandoned mansion in Xicheng, and saw from afar that the people of the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion blocked the not wide street in front of him. When Rick arrived, someone immediately came out and asked, "Who's coming?" β
Among the guards brought by Rick, Li Huan stood up and said, "We are from the Duke of Permont's Palace, and the Earl of my family wants to see the Admiral." β
The questioner immediately put on a humble face and respectfully welcomed Rick in. Walking to the door of the mansion, Rick felt quite strange, because the front gatehouse of this abandoned mansion was actually made of stone bricks, and there were two words inscribed on the forehead of the door - peach house, some peeling, but vaguely recognizable.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a hollowed-out shadow wall, which is unfortunately dilapidated and dirty, and surrounded by fallen leaves and dust, and behind the shadow wall is a large open space overgrown with wild grass, and according to some strange stones scattered around, you can vaguely recognize that it was once a garden. But now, thirty or forty corpses lay neatly across the clearing, most of them covered with white cloths.
Admiral Jiumen and Zhang Jiao were standing in front of a corpse, seemingly studying it carefully. As soon as Rick bypassed the shadow wall, the Admiral of the Nine Gates beckoned to him from afar, "Brother Xia Hua, come here." The attitude was so affectionate that Rick felt his hairs stand on end. In the past, when I saw Admiral Jiumen, the other party was also very polite, but this time the politeness was different, and Rick smelled the strong smell of stammering in it from afar.
"Brother, I'm really sorry, there was a sudden accident temporarily, you see, so many people died, I, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, can't ignore it. So, let my brother go to the official office and run away. A helpless smile appeared on Admiral Jiumen's thin face.
Rick smiled, "It's okay, business matters." Recently, the Admiral has been busy with business, so please take care of yourself. β
"Thank you for my brother's kindness, don't be polite to me." Admiral Jiumen waved his hand and said, "I'm going to have a banquet in the mansion tonight, so let's have a drink!?" β
Rick clenched his fists and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." β
"That's good! That's it. The Admiral of the Nine Gates seemed to be relieved, and turned his head to Zhang Jiao and said, "Zhang Nao, you accompany Count Xia Hua, and I will go over there to have a look." β
Rick immediately shook his hand and said, "Lord Admiral, don't bother, it's not good for you to send someone to greet me, I'll take a casual look, I hope it won't interfere with your work." β
The Admiral of the Nine Gates was not reluctant, but he took the opportunity to introduce to Rick as he walked: "This case looks tricky on the surface, but in fact, it is just an ordinary vendetta, forty-seven people died, and there should be three parties involved, two of which died the most, and the third party only killed two people." β
"Lord Admiral is truly remarkable, you can see so many signs in a short period of time." Rick walked side by side with the Admiral of the Nine Gates, saying as he walked, "I heard that the Admiral is about to catch the murderer of the Assassin Commander, which is really gratifying." β
Admiral Jiumen shook his head: "Brother doesn't know, that case is not as simple as it seems on the surface - forget it, we'll talk about it in the evening, you can take a look at it first." β
Admiral Jiumen suddenly stopped, squatted down, and carefully examined a corpse on the ground, the corpse was still holding a thick knife in its hand, and there was no mark on the knife, but Admiral Jiumen's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new world, and then ordered a squad leader behind him: "Invite the owner of He Ji Foundry immediately, and say that I have something to ask him." The leader immediately took the order and left.
"Does the Admiral see what's coming?" Rick asked.
Admiral Jiumen smiled and didn't answer, but corrected Rick and said, "Brother, don't always call me Admiral. β
Rick said helplessly: "Then I'll call you Lord Dido!" "Admiral of the Nine Gates is named Bandorf-Dido, and Rick calls him that, which is indeed a step closer than just now.
Bandorf, that is, Admiral Jiumen, smiled uncertainly, pulled out the thick knife in the corpse's hand, and changed the topic: "Brother, you see, there is no trace of marking on the surface of this knife, in fact, the hammer mark on the body of this knife is the best mark, I think only the master of He Kee Foundry can skillfully melt the hammer mark of the casting into the lines of the blade, and handle it without a trace of fireworks." β
Rick was slightly stunned, and Bandorf's words made his heart ripple, and this wave was caused by Bandorf himself. In Rick's heart, he once thought that this somewhat obscene and thin Commander of the Nine Gates was one of those nobles who could only eat and didn't know how to do things, and he still held a high position, but although his impression of him had changed, on the whole, he still didn't look up to him. Now, from what he said, Rick felt the need to reevaluate the man.
After two tea times, the owner of the He Ji Foundry was brought, and Bandorf handed him the thick knife in his hand, and then asked, "Boss He, do you remember this knife?" β
Boss He Ji glanced at the thick knife slightly, and said lightly: "My lord has good eyesight, this is indeed from this workshop." β
"Do you know where the person who bought this knife came from?"
"I'm not afraid to sue my lord." Boss He Ji seemed to have no fear, "Xiaomin does know, but I'm afraid that adults can't afford to provoke him." β
Bandorf's face changed: "You say, this official wants to see what is difficult about the people behind the scenes." β
Boss He Ji sneered: "Half a month ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion once ordered a batch of such thick knives to this workshop. At this point, he paused, and said, "Now the adults should understand, as for whether to pursue it or not, it depends on the adults." If there is no such thing as him, please forgive the small people for being busy with affairs, so they have to retire first. (To be continued......)
