Chapter 11: Night Attack
At dusk, almost all of them go back to prepare for the Spring Lantern Festival. Wang Xu is still practicing knife skills in the school field.
"Young master, then we'll go back first."
In the end, the few people who stayed to clean looked at Wang Xu with a little respect, asked for instructions, and then walked lightly towards the house in the distance.
They originally thought that their second young master just wanted to dream of being a chivalrous man, and they couldn't last long at all, but they didn't expect to practice for a whole afternoon.
If you change to them and live a life of fine clothes and food, you won't practice any martial arts if you say anything.
Wang Xu looked at the empty school field, took a deep breath, and finally waited for this time.
He did not rigidly hold the horizontal knife in the way Liu Yidao taught, but picked up the horizontal knife with the technique in his memory.
"Really...... Comfortable! ”
Wang Xu sighed comfortably.
It was as if something particularly awkward had been corrected all at once.
Wang Xu's eyes were particularly sharp in the twilight, and he carefully looked at the horizontal knife in his hand.
"Three feet long, nine inches wide, and four pounds in weight."
When the wrist is flipped, the cold light shines through, exuding the unique texture of a weapon.
Suddenly, the silver light passed by, and it was fleeting.
Bang!
The head of the dummy in the school yard fell on the bluestone slab brick.
"This is the ...... of cutting the wind"
Wang Xu thought about the description of the Mo family's knife technique and the Liu family's knife technique, "Those who have achieved great knife skills, ride the wind, return with the trend, and return to the front line, it is to cut the wind!" ”
The night was deep and the stars were raining.
The heavy snow in Jinbian has disappeared, and even the snow on the roadside has been cleared.
The streets and alleys are full of fish and dragons, and there is laughter and laughter inside and outside the city.
Wang Xu pinned a horizontal knife to his waist, stepped on the bluestone slab bricks, and walked towards the bedroom.
Although the sky has cleared, the cold wind is still blowing, blowing the bamboo leaves, making a small sound.
Call!
Suddenly, a black figure burst out from the bamboo forest next to it.
The black shadow was extremely fast, and with a few taps of his footsteps, he instantly crossed a distance of seven or eight meters and leaped in front of Wang Xu.
"Die!"
A hoarse male voice came from the mouth of the dark shadow.
Although the black shadow shouted like this, he actually took a short sword and slashed at Wang Xu's right hand.
A cold light flashed.
The short sword quickly approached Wang Xu's right arm, and the sword almost cut through the black power suit.
Wang Xu lowered his head and stood still, as if his brain was blank and he couldn't react.
"Hmph, although I have practiced the knife technique for a few days, I am a chick in the end."
A hint of contempt flashed in the dark shadow's eyes.
The short sword had already penetrated the power suit, and it was about to touch Wang Xu's skin.
Swish!!!
Wang Xu's left hand didn't know when it had been pressed on the handle of the knife, and he leaned back, and instantly pulled out a horizontal knife.
Hiss!
The horizontal knife swept directly through the air, and from the bottom up, it suddenly picked at the right hand stretched out by the black shadow, and the tip of the knife was about to disembowel him.
The black shadow gasped, and before he could call for help, he tried his best to block the blade with his short sword.
Clang!!
The black shadow was directly picked up by Wang Xu with a sword and flew out.
Wang Xu was about to step forward and cut off his legs, and interrogated him properly.
"Hurry up, someone's coming!"
Suddenly, a hurried voice sounded from behind Wang Xu.
At the same time, a cold light flashed quickly and shot behind Wang Xu.
Clang!
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and stabbed backhand.
It turned out to be a throwing knife.
The black shadow took advantage of this opportunity, quickly got up, jumped a few steps, fled into the bamboo forest, and disappeared.
Stomp, stomp!
Footsteps could be heard not far away.
A group of guards armed with torches and swordsmen quickly ran out of the corner.
"Young Master Xu!!"
"It's Young Master Xu!"
"Young Master Xu, are you okay, you weren't hurt by thieves, right?!"
Wang Zhongnian, the strong man with a knife at the head, had an ugly face and a cold sweat on his head.
If there is anything wrong with the second son of the palace during his shift, he will probably have to go to see the master.
"Escort Wang, I'm fine, you take people to see other places in the palace quickly to prevent thieves from making trouble again."
Wang Xu knew that this person, Wang Zhongnian, the chief of the guard, was the son of their family, and he had served in the palace for three generations, which could be described as loyal.
"Whew!"
Wang Zhongnian breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, "It's okay, young master, the master was called by the government office, the eldest young master and all the ladies and ladies have gone to see the spring lanterns, with Liu Xianfeng and others protecting them, there will definitely be no accidents." ”
"So I'm the only one left in the entire mansion now except for the patrol?"
Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, it seems that the thief is coming for the young master, please be careful!"
Wang Zhongnian is not stupid, he knows that some subordinates can't take the turn of two masters to dispatch, especially one of them will also have a secret weapon.
He glanced at the throwing knife on the ground that had been cut in two, and his heart was extremely surprised.
Not to mention how rare a secret weapon master is, the point is that he never knew when the second young master in the mansion had practiced such a sharp knife technique that he could cut the flying knife into two pieces.
"I know. Escort Wang, you can lead people to continue patrolling. ”
After Wang Xu finished speaking, he picked up the flying knife fragments on the ground and walked quickly to the exit of the palace.
The black shadow with a short sword was able to block his sword, and there was no doubt that he must be a master of strength, and a master of this level was rare in the entire Jin Border City.
What's more, there is also a good hand who makes good use of throwing knives, such a rare combination, presumably its true identity should be easy to find.
As soon as Wang Xu left the house, he saw the flow of people on the entire Yingchun Street, which was extremely noisy, all kinds of small vendors walking through the streets and alleys, and the red lanterns were lit in the courtyards of each high gate, and the fish and dragon were hung in the air, which simply shaped the night into day.
"It's really cautious."
Wang Xu's heart sank.
After all, he has been the image of an original rich boy for so many years.
The other party even sent two masters, and did not do it when he went out, but today, it seems that the idea of the fight is to take advantage of the crowd after failure, and quickly retreat.
But......
"Eighty percent are two wild people, and I don't know that there are other things in this world besides force."
Wang Xu sneered in his heart, dodged the surging crowd, and walked towards the street.
There are five major forces in the Jin border city, one of which is the governor's yamen with the background of the imperial court, although the imperial court is now in decline, but it is still not to be underestimated.
The second is the Li family, which connects the local forces and the imperial court.
The third is the Wang family, which is also rooted in the border city of Jin and mainly engaged in business.
The fourth is the Ma family, which runs the black forces in Jinbian.
But the last one is more peculiar, and it is the Koma family.
The Ju family is not so much a family as a member of the power of a chamber of commerce.
The power of this chamber of commerce spans the Northland, and it knows that it is a piece of fat in the eyes of everyone, so it decisively has a branch in various places, and through the branch, the profits are distributed to other big forces, and in the end it has become the object of maintenance.
And the Ju family is one of them, in charge of the Jinbian branch, especially with the Wang family is very close.
