The Scroll of the Sword Chapter 40 The North Wind Clears the Snow
A somewhat thin young man on the stage is named Liu Teng, who is considered to be the leader of the younger generation of the Liu family. He swung his sword move, taking all the opponent's attacks, and his expression was very proud. In fact, he could have knocked his opponent out of the ring a long time ago, just to deliberately show off, and in addition to taking over the opponent's attack, he also deliberately used a few difficult moves, which won the applause of the audience.
Finally, the other party was dissatisfied with Liu Teng's teasing, and was indignant in his heart, and after swinging left and right to block Liu Teng's false moves under the sword, a sword stabbed out and hit Liu Teng's face. This is a type of "wind disease" in "Wind and Snow Ji", Liu Teng is naturally familiar with it, he smiled, but did not meet it immediately, took a few steps under his feet, and retreated again and again, the opponent's sword pointed straight at his face, but the distance did not decrease. Liu Teng retreated to the edge of the stage before he stopped, but he only turned sideways slightly, allowing the opponent's sword to stab past him.
The other party's vision was blocked by him, and he couldn't see the position clearly, as soon as Liu Teng let go, he couldn't stop the momentum of rushing forward for a while, and unconsciously rushed forward. However, he quickly saw the edge of the table in front of him, and as soon as the sword was retracted, his body fell to one side, intending to jump back into the ring. Liu Teng didn't give him a chance to turn, nor did he draw his sword, raised his leg sideways, and kicked the opponent's hip right away, sending him directly out of the ring. Then he pretended to put his sword into the sheath, bowed slightly to the audience, and smiled.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and then the cheers gradually stopped, and soon there were some whispering voices, as if the audience did not want people to hear the content of the conversation, and everyone seemed to be a little jealous. It's just that the noise gradually rises, and it is clear in the ring.
Liu Teng was unhappy, raised his head to see the reason, and saw a woman about eighteen years old, dressed in blue, slowly walking into the ring from the opposite side. She has a beautiful appearance, above a pair of cold eyes, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her skin is as white as snow, but her face is expressionless, holding a sword and bowing to Liu Teng, always looking at him coldly.
Liu Teng recognized this person, his heart jumped, he laughed, and said, "Cousin Qingxue is good." I didn't expect to be able to fight my cousin today, my cousin is really interested. ”
Liu Qingxue bowed her head slightly, didn't say much, and with a "poof", she pulled out her sword and made a gesture of please.
Seeing that Liu Qingxue was about to do it without saying a word, Liu Teng was not in a hurry to draw his sword, and said with some embarrassment: "Why do you have to come to the ring to join in the fun, if you are injured by the younger brother in front of everyone, the head of the family blames it, and the younger brother is a little frightened." What he said is also the truth, Liu Qingxue is the eldest daughter of the head of the Liu family, although everyone knows that she is a woman, she has been practicing martial arts for some days, but she has never been in the ring before. The relationship between Liu Qingxue's father and daughter is well known, but after all, they are blood relatives, and if she is accidentally injured, she must have to suffer some hardships.
"Probably not. He can't control me, you can do it. Liu Qingxue's voice was not loud, but it was as clear as a knife, which made everyone feel a little chilly.
Liu Teng smiled bitterly, pulled out his long sword, and thought about how to send Liu Qingxue off the ring decently, when suddenly Liu Qingxue came with a sword, and it was still the same "wind disease" he had seen before. Liu Teng reacted quickly, didn't dare to tease like before, and seriously swung a sword to take it, but was surprised to find that Liu Qingxue's seemingly incomparably fast sword had no power.
Frightened, Liu Teng found that Liu Qingxue had taken a step back, and the sword in his hand swept up diagonally, stabbing at Liu Teng's wrist. Liu Teng hurriedly changed his tricks to parry, but Liu Qingxue retracted his sword momentum and stabbed Liu Teng in the chest.
Liu Teng was shocked by Liu Qingxue's swift sword move for a while, and he didn't dare to take it hard, so he made a false move and took two steps back. After a while, he secretly scolded himself for underestimating the enemy, and almost lost face, and then he smiled: "My cousin is really sharp, but next, my younger brother will be offended." ”
Before the words fell, he lowered his body and rushed towards Liu Qingxue. Liu Qingxue was unconscious and let Liu Teng approach. Liu Teng was secretly happy in his heart, estimating that Liu Qingxue had already entered the attack range and stabbed at Liu Qingxue's waist. He calculated the timing in his heart, as long as Liu Qingxue attacked, he would be able to mutate his moves, take the sword in his backhand, and turn the stab into a split. He has spent a lot of effort on this trick "Wind Shadow", and he has achieved a small success.
Seeing that he was about to stab Liu Qingxue, Liu Qingxue had no intention of attacking, his body swept out, and a sword was struck, neither opening the sword nor stabbing Liu Teng, but standing horizontally in front of his waist, just blocking Liu Teng's sword hilt, so that he could not advance an inch.
Liu Teng's sword hilt was resisted, and then he couldn't, and he wanted to change his move, but the wrist holding the sword hilt couldn't move. He was shocked by the decisiveness and precision of Liu Qingxue's sword, and his fighting spirit gradually faded, and he hurriedly retreated. Liu Qingxue took advantage of the momentum to pursue, and swung several sword moves in a row, Liu Teng was almost powerless to parry, and retreated to the edge of the ring. Liu Qingxue's sword was halfway swung, and suddenly changed his move, Liu Teng put on a posture and prepared to parry, but he swung his sword in the air, and his body was unstable. Liu Qingxue was also merciless, kicking him out of the ring.
Liu Teng fell out of the ring, but there was almost no cheers and applause in the audience, only some young people looked at each other, and some people lowered their voices and talked about something with each other, their eyes looking at Liu Qingxue were a little strange, exactly the same as when Liu Qingxue came on stage. As if she hadn't seen it, Liu Qingxue stood on the stage, looked around, and then withdrew her gaze.
In the cold wind, she stood alone with a sword, like blue petals swaying in the wind, cold and clear, incomprehensible. It's just that no one came on stage to challenge, and the slight discussion in the audience continued. A trace of loneliness flashed in Liu Qingxue's eyes, and then she gently jumped out of the ring and went alone. The crowd slowly made a way and watched her go.
Liu Yuelei stood on a high platform next to the martial arts arena, looking at the soldiers who were training below, wearing a robe, and looking at the blue figure that gradually disappeared in the distance, which had turned into a faint blue dot. His face was expressionless, and he couldn't see joy or anger. Chen Ye, the advisor of the Liu family, stood behind him, holding a letterhead in his hand, bowing his head slightly.
Liu Yuelei didn't look back: "News from Changzhou?"
"Yes. Chen Ye nodded.
"Anything new?"
"As we expected, Benhai City and Muzhou both sent troops, Xiao Mu still led the troops himself, and Muzhou led the troops by Ye Tian's eldest son, Ye Hengqiu. In addition to these two, the Shajiang City in Lizhou also sent troops, and the one who led the troops was not famous, and it was said that he was a new general under Di Yuan, called Suo Pingzhang. ”
"Shajiang City has also sent troops, it can't be the Desert Wolf Battalion, right?" Liu Yuelei frowned, his face solemn.
"No, they randomly put together a team of about 10,000 people. ”
Liu Yuelei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and let out an "oh", indicating that he was still listening.
Chen Ye continued: "Ye Tian's son was in a hurry, he brought 30,000 elite soldiers, and as soon as he set off, he took 5,000 light horsemen to throw away his baggage and take the lead in running to Pingyu Pass. Xiao Mu has already arrived in Pingzhou, and he will be able to go north in a few days. However, Shajiang City is a little weird, they are walking very slowly, these days, they haven't even left Lizhou. ”
"They're also waiting, they don't want to lose. However, Shajiang City and Black Rock City have been fighting happily recently, and they dare to wade into this troubled water?" Liu Yuelei's voice was low, and there was some doubt in his tone.
"Master, are we still standing still?"
Liu Yuelei raised his head and looked into the distance: "My Liu clan has been thrown in this ice and snow for more than a hundred years, and since I took over the position of head of the family, I have always wanted to recover the Liu family and return to Zhongzhou! We are not princes, and we may be targeted if we send troops rashly. These princes and nobles don't treat us very well. ”
Chen Ye was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he stopped talking.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Chen Ye turned his head, and saw that the young son Liu Binyuan's face was pale, his steps were in a hurry, and his heart was awe-inspiring. In the eyes of the people in the house, this young master has always been chic and free, Liu Yuelei is not confused, his body is strong, and he has always personally taken care of the affairs of the Liu family, although Liu Binyuan is a son-in-law, he is leisurely, this kind of panicked appearance is really rare.
Liu Binyuan saw Chen Ye who turned around, and saluted solemnly: "Mr. Chen." ”
Liu Binyuan has never known Chen Ye's origin, looking at his face, he is just a young man under thirty, with a mysterious background, but four or five years ago, he was suddenly recruited by Liu Yuelei to be a strategist, and the Liu family respectfully called him "Mr.", and he was deeply relied on at a young age. And there are rumors in the Liu family, it is said that this mysterious Mr. Chen is very skilled, and he is also a master of internal skills, it is rumored that he seems to be a strategist, but in fact, he also plays the role of Liu Yuelei's personal guard, but he has never moved, nor has he explained where this rumor came from, so he has become the most mysterious existence in the Liu family, and even Liu Binyuan does not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
"Young boy. Chen Ye smiled back.
Liu Yuelei was also a little surprised when he heard the messy footsteps, turned around and looked at Liu Binyuan.
Liu Binyuan hurriedly reported to him: "Father, I found something strange in the Northern Wasteland!"
