At this time, his life was at stake, and he obeyed the scout's instructions and took him to the barracks.

The gold diggers all went to the square to wait to greet the Southern Son of Heaven, and there was no one in the barracks; It's easier for scouts to see.

Entering the barracks, he quickly noticed that something was wrong, and asked Shui Qingdao: "There are new gold diggers coming recently?" ”

Shui Qingdao: "There are a total of 227 people living in the villain's barracks, and 34 of them have only come here for nearly two years, and the rest have been here for two or three years. ”

The scout clenched the knife in his hand, glanced at Shui Qing, and asked, "Did they do anything strange?" ”

Shui Qing was shocked and asked fearfully, "The scouts suspect them?" ”

The scout said, "No, I'm just in case. ”

Shui Qing's heart finally let go of a little and told the scout: "It's not a strange move; But there is one thing that makes his subordinates very concerned, and I don't know if I can say it or not. ”

The scout pricked up his ears and said, "Talk to me." ”

Shui Qingdao said: "They came with a handwritten letter from my master's little woman Xinna, saying that they are fellow villagers with my master's little woman; But as far as I know, the little woman of my master, Xinna, is a free maidservant and has not returned to her hometown for more than ten years, so she should have no contact with the township. ”

The scout frowned and asked him, "Have you told your master about this?" ”

Shui Qing shook his head and said: "No, at that time, Nan Tianzi had not yet traveled, and the villain thought it was a trivial matter and did not report it to the head of the family." ”

The scout let out a soft 'um' and said, "Maybe I'm too careful." ”

Shui Qing followed him, and waited for him to inspect all the barracks before asking, "Do you want the villain to summon them?" ”

The scout hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, Nan Tianzi should be almost here, you go with me to greet him." ”

Lishui official road, about two quarters of an hour away from the gold digger camp; The assistant defense general came with a team of more than a dozen people to greet him, and said with a salute: "General Chen Lishui assists in the defense of the south to meet the son of Nantian, please go straight to your highness and don't stop." ”

Nan Tianzi stepped forward immediately and asked him, "Why?" ”

The assistant defense general said: "In the past few days, both sides of Dieshui and Shi'an have sent additional manpower, and the ministers have secretly observed, and found that those who come are not very beautiful and good, they must be coming down for His Highness, if His Highness stays here, wouldn't it just be the heart of the thief." ”

Nan Tianzi laughed twice, and said a little rampantly: "In this way, this king has to see it; I don't know who wants to eat the flesh of this king, and I am always very flustered; Knowing it, it's also reassuring. ”

What else did the assistant defense general want to say, Nan Tianzi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say it, you just have to do your own thing." ”

Knowing that he couldn't change Nan Tianzi's decision, the assistant defense general had no choice but to kowtow and respond: "The minister will lead the way for His Highness." ”

The assistant general led the way, his eyes were spinning around, his body was trembling, and his two hands were tightly gripping the long knife. Any wind and grass will frighten him to draw his sword in a panic; But he is a weak scholar, and it is not easy to pull out a thirty-pound long knife, and every time he pulls out half of the knife, he finds that it is just a false alarm.

Nan Tianzi gently pinched the horse's belly, came over to the position next to him, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, they are much calmer than you, and they won't show their knives so quickly." ”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the assistant general, and he replied again and again: "What His Highness said is just that Weichen is panicked in his heart, and he really can't calm down." ”

Nan Tianzi said: "Since you are afraid, why don't you stay at home, this king will not blame you." ”

The assistant defense general said righteously: "The minister is not afraid of death, but he is worried that the thief will be unfavorable to His Highness; His Royal Highness has the grace of saving his life and knowing the grace of his ministers; Today, His Royal Highness passes through the Weichen Administration, if there is any case, the Weichen will be difficult to forgive even if he dies. ”

For this assistant general, Nan Tianzi took a fancy to his talent, but he was quite troubled by his 'pedantry'; sighed, and said earnestly: "There is only one life, and a person can only die once, and if he dies, he will never have it again; Although you are my courtier, you are not good at martial arts, and the affairs of the guards are still left to the guards to do, so you can put your heart in your stomach. ”

The assistant general said: "What His Highness said, it is difficult for the ministers to obey their orders; For the minister, live for the king, and die for the king; If something happens: the minister dies for the king, and it is justified. ”

Nan Tianzi smiled helplessly and said, "I can't talk about you, just let it be; But you listen, life is the same all in the world, whether it is a human or a demon, there is only one life, and you can only die once; Therefore, no one should despise his own life. ”

The assistant defense general replied 'yes', and said: "What His Highness said will naturally not be wrong, but the ministers think that although the fate is the same, the sex is different; Whether it is a person or a demon, there are good and evil, and there are public and private; His Royal Highness regards the world as the public, and naturally deserves the blessing of the Ninety-Five Supreme. ”

The 'pedantry' of this assistant defense general had already been taught by Nan Tianzi when he was still in Yaoshan a few years ago.

Nan Tianzi took a fancy to his talent, but he didn't like his rules and regulations very much! Put him in Lishui, I hope to contact more people to change him, now it seems that he has not only not changed in the past few years, but has become more 'pedantic', there is no way, but he can only go with himself.

On the official road behind the Lishui Gold Rush Barracks, the gold diggers plus more than 10,000 business travelers are looking forward to it.

When he saw the banner of the vanguard of the Southern Heavenly Son's guard, he immediately bowed and said: "The people and others welcome the Great Son of Southern Heaven, and may my lord enjoy great blessings forever." ”

Nan Tianzi stepped forward immediately, glanced at the crowd with his sharp gaze, and shouted, "You don't need to be polite, get up." ”

Nan Tianzi was about to dismount, and a feather arrow flew out of nowhere, but fortunately, Nan Tianzi had already taken precautions, barely dodged, and flew by his cheek dangerously. The doctor hurriedly stepped forward, smeared some medicine on Nan Tianzi's wound, and said, "The arrow is poisonous, Your Highness should be careful." ”

Nan Tianzi nodded slightly, waving his hand to stop him from blocking in front of him; Standing up like no one, he glanced at the feathered arrow and clenched the sword in his hand.

Turning around, he saw that the people who were just about to get up were kneeling on the ground with their heads in their hands, and said with a smile: "There is a naughty monkey around here, it's not a big deal, don't spoil everyone's mood, everyone please get up quickly; I have heard that gold comes out of Lishui, and this king has long wanted to see the faces of you who have come out of the sand. ”

A place where thousands of people had gathered, it was so quiet that only the sound of the breeze rustling.

They didn't dare to raise their heads, and Nan Tianzi shouted again: "Raise your heads, you are the sons of Baiyue, and the men of Baiyue don't have a coward, how can they be frightened by just a monkey." ”

At last, someone raised their heads; There was the first, there was the second, and the third, and everyone raised their heads, and Nan Tianzi shouted, "Get up." ”

Before he finished speaking, a muffled scream came from the crowd; A skull fell to the ground, blood spurting from the people around it.

Before everyone had time to panic, they heard someone shouting: "The land of Lishui will never allow anyone to come nonsense, the men who stack the water are listening, and if someone dares to covet the Son of Nantian, they will step on me and wait for the corpse." ”

Before the words fell, someone shouted: "Don't leave the brothers who came to Shi'an, take the guy to escort you." ”

After a period of panic, the gold miners were roughly divided into four groups, Dieshui, Shi'an, and Assassin.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Assassins did not expect such a thing to happen, and gathered in a group to resist stubbornly. It looks like there will be no surrender.

Nan Tianzi pushed aside the guards and gold diggers and asked them, "Who are you and where do you come from?" He had a sword in his hand, his brow furrowed, and his eyes were devoid of the kindness of his past.

"They are all unjust ghosts of hell, and they crawled out of hell to take your life."

Hearing this, everyone looked into the forest, and at some point, there was another person about a hundred and twenty paces away from Nantianzi; Dressed in silk brocade, with a jet-black knife in his hand; He was lazy and lazy, as if he was an inconsequential passerby, but his eyes were clearly fixed on Nan Tianzi, just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Nan Tianzi turned to him and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

The man said, "The one who killed you." ”

Nan Tianzi said: "I know, I am asking your name; Since you're here to kill me, I'm going to know who's going to kill me. ”

The man smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, you must always know whose hands you died; My name is Fireblade; You may not have heard my name, but you should know that six hundred years ago, there were two great masters: Sword Rain Pleiades and Poisonous Wolf Hundred Feathers, both of which were once in the hands of one person. ”

Nan Tianzi was shocked, the sword in his hand was unsheathed by half an inch, staring at the fast knife in his hand, and said: "I have heard that the man made a pitch-black fast knife, he likes to wear gold and silver, but he never cherishes it, and every time he puts on new clothes, he has to roll in the mud. ”

Fire Blade was very satisfied with his answer, and said proudly: "I really deserve to be the Lord of Baiyue, such a bosom friend, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Nan Tianzi secretly exhaled to calm his mood and said, "Don't be a pity, you and I are right today, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer." ”

Fireblade shook his head and said, "No, you're no match for me; I have seen your skills when I was at the Nine Hole Bridge, and I have absolute confidence. ”

Nan Tianzi smiled disdainfully: "Yes, in this way, I am looking forward to competing with Your Excellency." ”

Fireblade said, "In that case, let's make a bet." ”

Nan Tianzi had some expectations in his heart, he knew that he was by no means the opponent of the fire blade, but if it was a bet, he might be able to win, and asked the fire blade: "What do you want to bet on?" ”

Fire Blade said: "Limited to a hundred, I will take off your head within a hundred rounds; As for the bet, this time the master sent out a thousand assassins, and if you win, these thousand lives will be given to you. If you lose, I will want your life and the Great Seal of the Emperor. ”

The rampant fire blade did not give Nan Tianzi the slightest luck, but made Nan Tianzi even more nervous. The weak-hearted didn't even dare to look directly at the fire blade, he was not afraid of death, but if he wanted to bet on the Great Seal of the Emperor, he couldn't afford to gamble.
