Chapter 12: The Pursuit
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Just as Tang Mo and Aina were about to leave Cangling Town. The dragon and snake have already set out from their hiding places.
Cangling Town Market, Sword Pool Contact Point, in the back room of a blacksmith shop, Ling Jian Shuangxia is healing.
"Senior Brother Song, are you okay?" asked the woman beside the bed with an anxious look on her face.
"Senior Sister Yue, it's okay, after taking Uncle Fu's medicine, the injuries caused by the dark strength of the ghost Arhat should be suppressed. In a few days, we will rush back to the main pool, and we should be able to recover with Master's treatment. Song Chong, who was lying on the bed, was secretly suppressing the internal injuries in his body, and forcibly comforted him in order not to worry his junior sister.
Yue Ling, who is also Senior Sister Yue, saw that Song Chong was just holding on, but she didn't say anything about it, after all, both of them needed a spiritual pillar now. That ghost Arhat and his senior brother didn't know where they were, and they might meet them directly when they returned to Zongchi rashly, and now they could only pray that Song Chong's injuries would heal quickly.
An old but still not hearty voice came from outside the house: "Yo yo, why do you want to go to bed to practice sword before the injury of the young couple in the sword pool has healed." As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed as a blacksmith walked in.
"Uncle Fu, what are you talking nonsense!" Yue Ling blushed and retorted in a voice like a gnat.
"Song Chong has seen Uncle Fu. Song Chong looked embarrassed, but he still didn't forget the dignity of the elders and the young, and was ready to get off the bed to salute.
"Hey, no, you little doll just need to take care of your injuries. What are you doing with so much red tape, your old-fashioned master must have taught you the same set as your ancestors. Fu Zhou, that is, Uncle Fu, hurriedly picked up Song Chong and blamed.
Song Chong was even more embarrassed, it stands to reason that he should refute those who slandered his master, but Uncle Fu is his master's senior brother, and it is understandable for the senior brother to say that the junior brother is understandable.
Fu Zhou didn't care whether Song Chong was embarrassed or not, and said bluntly: "If you want me to say, your rigid master should have changed his mind a long time ago." If it weren't for the fact that your master didn't dare to disobey your master, I would have taken it away a long time ago, and it would be your master's turn to pick up the leaks. ”
Song Chong and Yue Ling both looked embarrassed, I don't know how many times they have heard this, but who made him a senior uncle, listen to him complain honestly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tiles being turned on the roof.
Ling Jian's face changed drastically, suspecting that a ghost arhat had come to the door. Fu Zhou's originally cloudy eyes shone brightly, and he laughed loudly: "Which hero is willing to be the gentleman on the beam, Jianchi Fu Zhou will come today to clear such a small man." ”
A sinister laugh came from the roof, and the man said: "I have long heard that Jianchi Fu Zhou is just a waste who has failed to compete with his junior brother for the head of the house, and today I saw that it was indeed the case. ”
Fu Zhou had long been accustomed to such insults, and when he left the sword pool back then, he had also endured even more unpleasant ones.
"Then Fu Zhou will come to learn whether the kung fu of this gentleman on the beam is as sharp as his kung fu. Fu Zhou said, jumped out of the door, turned around and went to the roof.
This area can only be regarded as a slum, most of the houses are low and blocked, and most of the people at this point have gone out to run for a living, and it is precisely because of this that Long Xing and Snake Xing decided to take action during the day.
On the roof, Long Xing's ordinary appearance and ordinary figure are dressed as a mason, and others usually only think that they are masons repairing the roof when they see it, but at this moment, Long Xing's killing blood qi that is about to condense into substance undoubtedly only makes others feel that this is a veteran who has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Fu Zhou, you have been a blacksmith for so many years, and you even lost your sword, what are you going to fight with me?" Long Xing said with a smile.
"The sword is not in the hand, it is in the heart. Fu Zhou seemed to have expected that he would be embarrassed by this, and replied lightly.
Long Xing laughed and said, "Then I'll try the sword in your heart." In the next second, he had already rushed to Fu Zhou's side in an instant, and the Pu knife in his hand made a move to "cross the five mountains" and take Fu Zhou's waist directly.
Fu Zhou pushed Pu Dao with both palms, and pushed Pu Dao back with a move of "Dangqing Yuyu". Long Xing borrowed the thrust of Fu Zhou and jumped back. Just as he was about to attack again, there was an extremely clear sound of "Sisi" in the distance, and Long Xing knew that the snake had already succeeded, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu, the snake has succeeded." ”
Fu Zhou was relieved and said, "Fortunately, you came early, and I might be seen through by those two little dolls if you come later." "It turns out that he, the senior brother of the head of the Sword Pool, has already taken refuge in the Jiaochuan Gang, or the person behind the Jiaochuan Gang: King Nanchen.
Long Xing responded: "Brother Fu doesn't need to panic, why are the two of them acting very well, those two people will definitely not be able to see it." ”
Fu Zhou sighed and said, "That's it, so be it." I hope that Gang Leader Zhu will become a big thing as soon as possible, and you and I can also get a little rain and dew. ”
Long Xing smiled and said, "That's natural, Gang Master Zhu is already ready to attack the sword pool, and the dragon's skill is just around the corner." Long took his leave. With that, he jumped into the courtyard, restrained his killing aura, turned into an ordinary mason again, and went to his hiding place.
A few minutes ago, Snake Walk speculated that Ling Jian Shuangxia would inevitably go to Fu Zhou to heal in order to avoid encountering the ghost Arhat, and they could play a double reed, which not only captured Ling Jian Shuangxia but also preserved Fu Zhou's identity. So there was the scene just now.
At this time, Zhu Youwang, who was staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, heard the sound of kneeling from behind.
The man hid in the darkness and said, "The dragon snake has already succeeded, the rat is investigating, and the prince of Qi seems to have left Cangling Town." ”
Zhu Youwang didn't look back, and said lightly: "I won't come forward to interrogate those two, after you torture them, plant the Miao Jiang insect Gu given by the king, and then take them away from Fuzhou Prison, and wait for the opportunity to send them back to the sword pool." Since the king wants to clean up the sword pool, I will let the sword pond chicken and dog not stay. Rat Xing continued to investigate, and sent Hu Xing to track down the Gongzi brother in Juying Building, who should have some relationship with the prince of Qi Wang. ”
"Yes. The man answered, and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhu Youwang, who was sitting alone in the dark, sighed, but his eyes became gloomy, and he said in his heart: "Jianchi, the number one faction in Eastern Wu, from today onwards, even if it enters the countdown." The king's ambition to dominate the industry can be regarded as the first step. More than ten years of painstaking solitude, just today. When the dagger is seen, it is the time when the king goes north. ”
