Volume 1 Chapter 4 The Dart
As we got closer and closer to Stone City, the caravans on the road gradually increased, and most of them were heading towards Stone City.
In the past few days, the wind and snow have become heavier, and a team of people and horses have stepped up the pace of returning to the city, and there is no other delay on the way, and Ma Xie has also met more people, but so far he has not seen a real master, let alone the legendary "dragon slayer".
He Wen'an's horse team was planted with a big flag in front of it, and a big "stone" word was written on it, but whenever they saw this big flag, all the carriages and horses had to back down a few points, because in this area, the city lord of Shicheng was a living earth emperor.
The Jin Kingdom is a large country in the north, and Shicheng is the northernmost small city of the Jin Kingdom, and the difference is that Shicheng is the last "fiefdom" in the north of the Jin Kingdom. Except for the King of Jin, no one knows why the surrounding cities have implemented the "county system", but the place where the birds don't poop is still a hereditary fief, and the lord of Shicheng also takes "Shi" as his surname and has been here for generations.
Regarding this stone city lord Shi Dangdang, Ma Xie heard a lot of rumors along the way, and before he met, Ma Xie probably already knew what kind of character this was.
If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, it's a very pertinent evaluation of the stone city lord. Not to mention that Wen Taowu is not proficient in any of them, even the necessary knowledge of cockfighting and gambling dogs, he is also so-so, to put it bluntly, this stone city lord is a soil emperor who can't do anything, it is impossible to expect him to govern the people's livelihood, but it can't cause any big trouble.
This stone dares to have only one hobby, which is to watch people compare swords. Although he learned to sword at the age of five, he cut off one of his toes with the sword in his hand at the age of five and a half, and has never touched a sword again. But it was also from that time that he admired swordsmen very much, and there were a group of doormen in the city lord's mansion, all of whom were swordsmen without exception. But according to He Qian'an, most of them are charlatans who have practiced one and a half moves, and there are few who have practiced a whole set of swordsmanship. He Wen'an is one of the disciples of the stone city lord, although he knows that most of the doormen are a bunch of scammers who eat and drink, He Wen'an does not mind, as long as it is a doorman recruited by the city lord, he is his sibling brother, since the brother's martial arts are not good, then only he can do a little more.
He Wen'an is such a simple person, although he is very shrewd, there is only one criterion for all his actions: the Lord of Stone City.
Ma Xie is full of expectations for this trip, after all, he has not fought with anyone yet, what is that feeling, and how many catties and taels of his swordsmanship is in this world, it is unknown. At the same time, he was also very curious about why such an incompetent person as the Stone City Lord could make He Wen'an so desperate, and it seemed that everyone was dead set on him.
"Death to a man who is a confidant. He Wen'an said lightly to Ma Xie: "If there is no city lord, we are a group of lonely ghosts. ”
As he spoke, the horse team had already reached the boundary of Stone City. True to its name, Stone Castle looks like a castle made of large rocks. At this time, the horse team was standing on a cliff on the north side of the stone city, and the stone city below the mountain looked like a large piece of black basalt.
"That's Stone City. He asked, "I'm finally back." ”
At this time, there was a sound of fighting at the bottom of the mountain.
"Someone robbed the dart!" He Wen'an has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can see at a glance what the situation is. robbed the dart in front of Shicheng, this group of people is really daring, so they don't take Shicheng seriously?
He Wen'an greeted his brothers, and rushed down with his horse and whip.
Ma Xie naturally followed, and he was so eager to find a chance to try his skills. Although He Wen'an repeatedly told him that his martial arts were rare in the world, Ma Xie was not a fool, and he wouldn't believe it if he hadn't tried it.
The battle under the mountain is divided into two groups, one group is dressed in purple, it seems to be a robbery dart, most of the weapons in their hands are swords, and there are also people holding maces, steel whips and other heavy soldiers, especially the two who hit the head, both are holding steel whips, tigers and tigers.
The other group was dressed in white, gathered in a circle, and tightly protected a dart cart in it, and a large flag was inserted on the dart cart, with the word "Huwei" written on it. Some of the dart masters were armed with steel swords, and some used swords to fight with the incoming ones. But there are many people in purple, and the two who hit the head and hit left and right, so they broke through the circle of the dart master and came to the dart car.
The dart head Lu Lin saw that he was about to lose the dart, and he was irritable in his heart. He entangled one of the big men with a strong sword, and a set of "snake swords" only entangled but not fought, and several dart masters tried to entangle this big man first, leading him out of the circle, and the rest of the people besieged the other big man.
Lu Lin has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can see that the martial arts skills of the two big men are complementary techniques of one yin and one yang, if the two of them are together, I am afraid that this group of dart masters is not an opponent.
Just when Lu Lin was about to hold on, a figure suddenly broke into the middle between him and the big man. Lu Lin and Dahan both stopped, staring at the horse evil in the field.
"Lao He, who am I helping?" asked Ma Xie.
"Of course it's white-clothed, this group of guys from the Purple Immortal Sect really doesn't take our Shicheng seriously. Before He Wen'an arrived, he shouted loudly to Ma Xie.
Hearing that the person who came was someone from the main gate of Shicheng, Lu Lin was immediately relieved, and the dart was finally saved.
The big man saw that the person who came was just a teenager, and he didn't take it to heart, what he was worried about was that He Wen'an brought a large number of people and horses, and it was a risky thing to do it in front of Shicheng, and he originally tried to fight quickly, who would have thought that this Lu Lin was so difficult to deal with, and he actually waited for reinforcements from Shicheng.
Dahan also thought very quickly, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made great determination. He took out a black pill from his bosom and swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly, the big man broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes bulged out violently, as if he was about to pop out of his sockets, the blood vessels in his temples and forehead swelled instantly, and the ordinary blue and black snakes really scared Ma Xie. Stunned, the big man's steel whip smashed towards Ma Xie's head.
Ma Xie jumped to the side, and the steel whip smashed straight to the ground, only to hear a "boom", and a three-foot-wide pit was smashed out of the ground! The strength of this big man was many times greater than just now!
Everyone was stunned by the loud noise, and they all stared at the situation. Another purple-clothed man was shocked: "Big brother, why are you ......?"
"There's no way, fight quickly, or you'll die even worse!" The big man squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then attacked Ma Xie again.
Ma Xie didn't dare to be careless, he used his internal force, and the iron sword met the steel whip that the big man rushed into. Just when the steel whip and the sword blade were facing each other, the tip of the horse evil sword suddenly turned, and the long sword dodged the steel whip, and then the sword body slapped the steel whip hard, and the steel whip shook violently and slashed towards the other side.
Ma Xie turned around and came behind the big man, only to see him standing back to back with the big man, and stabbed the long sword in his hand back to the big man's waist at the moment of turning.
Lu Lin was stunned by this young man's shocking swordsmanship, but he didn't expect that the big man he had been entangled with for a long time would be defeated by such a move. But what happened next surprised Lu Lin even more.
Instead of falling, the big man who was stabbed by the sword turned around and whipped the steel whip at Ma Xie, who didn't expect the big man to be able to make such a move, and was hit in the head by the steel whip.
This really frightened He Wen'an, and also frightened everyone present, this young man's head, I'm afraid he can't save it!
