Chapter 3 The Second in the World

The full moon is on the branches, and the night in the eastern capital is a little cold, and when it has passed, the lights in the eastern capital are already not lit, even in the Hou Mansion. The dark Hou Mansion was unusually quiet, and even the guards who were patrolling the mansion back and forth had already slept, and even those insects and frogs seemed to be tired and resting in the middle of the night. No one would want to appear in the middle of the night like this, especially in the Eastern Capital, but there were still people in the Eastern Capital, standing on the top of the highest city tower in the Eastern Capital, braving a slight but cold wind, standing on the head of the thunderbolt that extended from the corner of the building. This thunder dragon head only allows one foot to step on, but this person stood there very indifferently under the moonlight, and the full moon seemed to be behind him, illuminating his body. Dressed in a black robe, the corners of his clothes swayed slightly in the breeze, although there was a little cold, but for a person like him, even if it was in the ice and snow, he didn't care at all. The man's sword eyebrows are starry, his eyes are cold, like a face of ice cubes that will never melt, on top of the black robe, there is a little silver light on the chest, which is a plum blossom embroidered with silver wire, the black hairband is in front of the sideburns, swaying slightly, the long black hair is neatly draped on the back, the light in the eyes seems to be able to see through the darkness in the night, it seems that nothing can escape his eyes, holding a sword in his left hand, gently hugging his chest, the scabbard and the hilt are integrated, Like a black stick of more than three feet, about two fingers thick, such a sword is rarely used in the rivers and lakes, because it is a thin sword, and the sword body is only one finger wide. People who can use this kind of sword are enough to see his confidence in his swordsmanship, after all, there are many swords in the rivers and lakes, and there are many swords that sharpen iron like clay, and when the thin sword fights against the enemy, it is easy to be cut off, especially in the face of people who use knives, the so-called knife is fierce, the sword is feminine, and the knife of the swordsman is always as fierce as a storm, and the moves used are also masculine and domineering, especially the famous swordsman and the swordsman are fighting, and most of the things that cut off the sword appear, so the sword always has to suffer a lot.

The man stood here coldly and arrogantly, standing at the highest place in the entire Eastern Capital, and seemed to have enjoyed the feeling of standing on a high place. It seems that as long as he appears, he always has to stand on a high place, so that everyone has to look up to his figure, a cold face in a cold ink coat, and the kind of cold feeling exuded by his body is by no means something that ordinary people can have. The silver plum blossom on his chest, even in the moonlight, is extremely bright, he likes plum blossoms very much, because his surname is Mei, which is the plum of plum blossoms. Maybe this is the reason why he likes plum blossoms, he always likes to wear an ink robe, there is always no lack of plum blossoms on his chest, of course, it is essential to hug the sword on his chest, even if this sword is the most ordinary long sword, his name is Mei Er, this name seems to be a bit unsuitable for such a person, because no one wants to take a second in his own name, of course, his previous name is definitely not the name of two. But he walked the rivers and lakes with the name Mei Er, and no one in the world would ever laugh at the name Mei Er, is this name famous? Naturally, it is famous, and it is too famous, is Langya Gongzi famous in the city? Very famous, even some boudoir women in the eastern capital have heard of his name, some people say that Langya Gongzi is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also outstanding in writing, but Langya Gongzi's swordsmanship ranks first in the rivers and lakes? No one will say the answer, because the rivers and lakes are big, how big is it? No one knows, because the rivers and lakes include not only the Xiguo, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so how big this world is, how big the rivers and lakes are. And what are the biggest forces in the rivers and lakes today, the people of the rivers and lakes can blurt out, one mountain, one valley, two halls, three palaces and four sects, this sentence includes the largest sect forces in the world, a mountain is Huangquan Mountain, a valley is Biluo Valley, Huangquan Biluo, this is the same name, the people of the rivers and lakes are terrified when they hear these two forces.

Huangquan Mountain, is the largest force in the rivers and lakes, no one knows how huge the force behind Huangquan Mountain, so to speak, when Huangquan Mountain is at its peak, there is no force in the whole world to compete with it, if there is a force that can unify the world, then this Huangquan Mountain is undoubted. Of course, Huangquan Mountain also did this, and Huangquan Mountain's ambition has never been hidden, so the rivers and lakes have classified Huangquan Mountain as an evil sect, especially Huangquan Mountain as the biggest evil force in the world. Biluo Valley, Biluo Valley is much more low-key, and Biluo Valley is also extremely mysterious, because no one in the whole world knows who the valley owner of Biluo Valley is? And Biluo Valley is a mysterious valley, no one knows where Biluo Valley is, but as long as someone offends Biluo Valley in the world, or says some ugly words about Biluo Valley, the next day there will be a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and the people who target Biluo Valley will be slaughtered, this is the terrible thing about Biluo Valley, so Biluo Valley has also become the second evil force after Huangquan Mountain, and even when it comes to Huangquan Biluo, everyone is more afraid of Biluo Valley than Huangquan Mountain, at least Huangquan Mountain is not enough to be destroyed by people. Twin halls, the Palace of Tomorrow and the Hall of the Bright Moon, speaking of these two halls are related to Huangquan Mountain, because these two halls are split from Huangquan Mountain, when Huangquan Mountain was invincible in the world, the righteous way of the rivers and lakes fought with it, but the righteous way had no power to fight back, but at the last moment when Huangquan Mountain was about to unify the rivers and lakes, the left and right protectors of Huangquan Mountain were all betrayed from Huangquan Mountain, and they created two forces, which were the Palace of Tomorrow and the Bright Moon Palace, and then the Shuangdian and Huangquan Mountain became enemies, and the people of the rivers and lakes could not integrate them into the righteous path, The Twin Halls seem to have become a third-party force other than the two realms of good and evil. The three palaces are the three forces headed by the righteous path, the most famous is the Shenyun Palace, known as the first force in the world, but they are all named by the righteous people, and the children of Huangquan Mountain will only scoff when they hear this first force, because in their hearts, the first force in the world is undoubtedly Huangquan Mountain. Even if it didn't really dominate the rivers and lakes back then, the prestige of Huangquan Mountain has been around since then, and now it is also a pivotal force in the rivers and lakes, who can compete with it. In addition to Shenyun Palace, the other two palaces are Tianning Palace and Fuhua Palace, and under the three palaces are the four sects, which are also the four famous sword sects in the world, Langya Sword Sect is one of them, as well as Xia Luo Sword Sect, Aoxue Sword Sect, and Zhiqiu Sword Sect are all four major sword sects, Langya Gongzi is now the personal disciple of the sect master of Langya Sword Sect, and being able to get the title of Langya Gongzi is enough to show his ability, you must know that the sect master of Langya Sword Sect also had this reputation when he was young, that is to say, If nothing else, the next sect master of the Langya Sword Sect will undoubtedly be the son of Langya.

Mei Er, cold and arrogant and ruthless, a character like him will not overflow his feelings, and even everyone will doubt that this kind of person is ruthless is the most correct. Why is it said that this kind of person, because to be able to become such a person, you must not allow a trace of distraction in your heart, Mei Er, there are two names, he is not two, but second, what second? Naturally, he is second with a sword, maybe the people of the Eastern Capital will ask, is he second with a sword? If the question is about a Jianghu person, that person will have a disdainful gaze, and a look that has never seen the world falls on the person who asks the question. Can the people of the rivers and lakes not know who the emperor of the Xi Kingdom is? But can't you not know who Mei Er is? People will be curious, which side of the world is he the head of the sect? Naturally not, he doesn't belong to any force, but without power, is his fame really so big? Someone will shoot the case, isn't he famous? Isn't the second big? What is the second, naturally he is the second in the world, he is the second swordsman in the world, why is he the second swordsman in the world, that is what he said, he is only the second in the world, some people will ask, why does he only say that he is the second in the world? He never answered, because the second is the second, and since he recognized the second, then there are still people whose swordsmanship is above him. The second swordsman in the world may not be the second master in the world, but for the people of the rivers and lakes, there is no difference between the second swordsman in the world and the second master in the world. Such a person, who would have thought that he would appear in the Eastern Capital, because no one would have thought that Mei Er would appear in the Eastern Capital, he has no reason to appear here, for him, those so-called masters in the Eastern Capital are not even worthy of mentioning it in front of him.

"Long time no see?" On the ridge of the tower, there was already a man sitting there lazily, and this man was not disheveled, nor could he be said to be disheveled, but he was wearing a white close-fitting garment, which people would only wear under one circumstance. Even when he was sleeping, it was obvious that he had just gotten up from the bed, and when he came to see him in this dress, Mei Er never felt very strange, because he knew that this person was always incomprehensible.

"Seven years, I'm coming." The tone was extremely cold, and the words were extremely concise, as if he didn't want to say a word at all.

"I see it." Xiao Bai nodded and said.

"Seven years, I've been much stronger." Mei Er said very seriously, seven years ago, Mei Er first came out of the rivers and lakes, passing by this Eastern Capital, people like Mei Er, everyone in the Eastern Capital is waste in his eyes, and he never thought that there was such a master hidden in the Eastern Capital.

"I can see it." Xiao Bai nodded seriously.

"You said that after seven years, you will be the strongest." Mei Er said very seriously.

"I seem to have said something like that." Xiao Bai nodded and said.

"Seven years later, I'm the strongest me." Mei Erdao.

"So, you came to me just to see if you are strong or am I strong?" Xiao Bai said.

"Nature." Mei Er nodded, of course he wanted to see how terrifying this person had been in the past seven years. Seven years ago, he entered the imperial city at night, originally wanting to assassinate the emperor, but a person blocked his way, and no one knew about the battle in the palace, even the emperor didn't know that he had walked around the ghost gate. Because the palace absolutely can't stop people like Mei Er, the palace guards are nothing in his eyes, such a person enters and exits the palace like a bag to get something, and kills the emperor unknowingly, it is extremely simple, but he never thought that there was such a character in the palace of the Eastern Capital.

"Seven years ago, I didn't ask why you came to Dongdu, because I know that people like you are useless to ask." Xiao Bai said.

"Naturally, if I don't want to say it, no one in the world will know." Mei Er was very serious, naturally, if he didn't want to say anything, no one in the world would be able to force him to say anything about the incident seven years ago. Seven years ago, maybe Mei Er was not the second swordsman, but martial arts were enough to occupy a place in the martial arts, and the person who could make Mei Er do things for him must be the person who was close to that position, maybe which prince, maybe which prince, this is all possible, Xiao Bai once speculated, and also secretly checked, but found nothing, you must know that the person behind him can be said to be extremely powerful.

"In today's battle, if you win, I will tell you." Mei Er added.

"Get out of your sword." Xiao Bai didn't have any extra nonsense, Mei Er said his price, although it has been seven years, that person is very hidden, this kind of person must be very terrifying, Xiao Bai will not underestimate such a person at all. Because what is frightening is often not martial arts, because a person's martial arts are terrible, and they are only terrifying, not so terrifying, such as Mei Er. Everyone knows that he is terrible, but if he knows, it is not so terrible, and the kind of human heart that does not know is the most terrifying, he is like a poisonous snake hidden under the darkness, as long as such a person escapes, it will definitely be fatal, it is undoubtedly terrifying, even Xiao Bai thinks so. Mei Er knew that it was time for him to take out the sword, Mei Er's sword, there was no gorgeous sword move, there was no earth-shattering momentum, because Mei Er's sword only had one word, fast, fast without shadow, fast terrible, fast terrifying. No one can see how his sword is unsheathed, and no one can see how his sword is pierced out, if it is someone else standing in front of him, then Mei Er has already put away his sword and stood at this time, because his sword has pierced that person's throat, and when his sword is retracted from the scabbard, the blood on that person's throat will slowly flow out. All the people who fell under Mei Er's sword were like this, the only exception was him Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai seven years ago, and Xiao Bai now, the familiar scene appeared again, the thin tip of the sword had been tightly clamped by Xiao Bai's two fingers stretched out, as if it had never changed. Mei Er's thoughts went back to seven years ago, it was above the wide corner tower of the palace, the only difference was the location, right? Mei Er was full of spirit at that time, and there was a lot more sharpness in his swordsmanship, but now his swordsmanship has no sharpness, only fastness. Some people may say, what is so terrible about fast, but I don't know that fast is the most terrible thing about Mei Er, his speed is enough to suffocate, and there are no people in the world who can be faster than Mei Er in swordsmanship.

"I understand what that man said now, if there is one person in the world who can not be afraid of my sword, that person must be you?" Mei Er did not withdraw the long sword, but said with a sigh.
