Sunrise and sunset, the day is gone, in the blink of an eye it is already twilight, Jiang Lin's outer city gate has been closed, and the gatekeeper of the inner city is shouting and commanding Qi Yunwei under his command to close the inner city gate. One man and one horse, coming from the south to the inner city, the horses' hooves are frenzied, carrying up the thin snow on the ground...

When Xiao Yushen left Jianglin City, he depreciated himself and went to the bitter cold land of Weizhou, and guarded Shanhaiguan with Wang Tian for 18 years.

The surrounding uneven inner city mansion lined this small mansion with extremely shabby, but no matter how luxurious the mansion is, it can't cover the mansion above, when King Qiyun personally mentioned the style of the word "Xiao Mansion".

The plaque is an ordinary wooden plaque, Rao is the ninth five-year plan to send people to clean it today, but it can not cover the erosion of many years, gradually showing the trend of decay, the left and right are on the door post of the small house into the eaves, it is still the vigorous and powerful Qiyun Wang, the pen walks the couplet of the dragon and snake, and it is to overshadow the eaves of Biwa Zhu around the inner city of Jianglin.

"The world is determined to talk and laugh at a warm wine, and the eight buckets of talents wave their sleeves in the past and the present."

In this small Xiao Mansion back then, not only the world-famous Qi Yun's seven sons were taught, but also the "non-returning general" Qi Lin, not to mention the Ninety-Five Honor of Qi Yun today.

"Have you heard, Xiao Xiang has returned to Beijing." Nine guards and ten people in a column, patrolling Jiang Lin's inner city, originally all looked solemn and walked with knives, until they reached the gate of Xiao Mansion, which was incompatible with the magnificent mansion in the inner city, the junior colonel at the end of the team saw that there seemed to be a light in Xiao Mansion, and hurriedly approached the leading captain and spoke.

"Don't talk too much, Xiao Xiang's matter, how can you and I be so arrogant, inspect well, be very vigilant, you know, the unsolved case of 'ghost night walking' has not been solved so far..."

The remaining nine guards heard the reprimand of their own captain, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and they cheered up and prepared to continue their patrols, but at the end of the night, the sound of horses' hooves that was extremely inconsistent with the inner city of Jianglin resounded.

"Shhh The nine guards were well-trained, and in just an instant, they had drawn their knives in their hands, and spread out in an orderly manner, forming a net array, and the streets of the inner city had been sealed in an instant.

"Stop." The leader of the nine guards stood in the middle of the quiet street with a sword in his hand, and looked fixedly at the approaching horseback galloping people under the night.

"Huh..."The people came closer, only to see that this line of nine guards had already laid a defensive formation, sealing the streets of the inner city, the horse's hooves were fast, and when he saw that he was about to bump into this group of nine guards, this person pulled the reins hard, and immediately raised his hooves.

The horse's hooves turned, and there was only a foot away from the captain of the Nine Gate Guards, but the Nine Gates Guard Captain was not afraid at all, he did not retreat at all, only raised his hand, and looked coldly at the people on horseback, and the remaining nine guards had already collected their knives in their hands, and changed to a small crossbow, and the cold light between the crossbows pointed directly at the people coming on horseback, just waiting for the captain of the Nine Gates to raise his hand and fall, he could shoot the people on horseback into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye.

"Who is it, don't you know the rules in the inner city of this imperial city, riding a horse and galloping, this one major crime alone is enough to sentence you to a punishment of cutting off your feet." The cold sweat on the forehead of the Nine Gatekeepers was enough to show that his heart was not as easy as he spoke.

The man on horseback was dressed in an ordinary strong suit, and he couldn't see his face clearly with a wind scarf, and he didn't know how old he was, but he could already see that he had come from a long journey in embarrassment, and when he heard the captain of the Nine Gates angrily asking, he stroked the horse's back and calmed the neighing of the horse that sat down, and at a glance, he saw the defensive array of the nine guards around him, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could hear the contemptuous laughter in his tone.

"Ten people, swords, guns, horses, crossbows... It's a pity that the peaceful days have been too long, and Jiang Lincheng will not be attacked by war horses, and he will abandon the spear and the horse, and only wear a waist knife and a crossbow, although it is portable, but it cannot shoot through the heavy armor. Such slackness, I look at the commander of your nine guards... Damn it. ”

This person can easily enter the city after sunset, and even rode his horse into the heavily guarded inner city of the imperial city, and now he has already said the flaws in the defense formation of the nine guards and ten people, and the leading captain of the nine gates is already frightened, and it is no longer appropriate to ask the momentum of the people on horseback.

"Your Excellency... What kind of person. ”

The man came on horseback, tore off the wind towel that blocked the entrance of the wind and snow, and revealed his face, about thirty or forty years old, with a resolute face like a knife, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his thin lips moved slightly and said: "What's the matter, when you joined the army, you were still a small colonel, and now you are a captain of the ten-person formation, and the officer has become bigger, even I don't know it." ”

When the leading captain saw this person's face, he was stunned, and the surprise in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise, and he couldn't hide the emotion in his eyes, and unconsciously, he put down his raised hand.

The remaining Nine Gatekeepers who stood in position didn't know the inside story, and only saw that the captain's gesture fell, and he had already pulled the short crossbow mechanism, and in an instant, the nine-handled crossbow suddenly came out, and from the side of the Nine Gate Captain, with the sound of breaking the sky, roared towards the people on horseback.

"Wait..."The captain of the Nine Gates realized that his gesture had fallen, and it was too late to turn around and try to stop his Nine Gate guards, and the crossbow was about to shoot through the horseback in an instant.

Only in the Jiumen lieutenant turned around to stop for a moment, the long knife hanging on his waist had been attracted by a strong force, out of the sheath and flew away, and then he heard the sound of "jingling", when he looked back, he saw that the cold light shot out of the short crossbow in the hands of the nine guards had been blocked by his waist knife, and the sound of the right talent was the swing of the blade and the crossbow arrow that cut off the stainless steel.

The nine guards were all shocked, not because they were surprised that this person's knife skills were sharp, and they blocked all the crossbow arrows, but because of the knife skills made by this person... Each of the nine guards is the elite of the army after several rounds of screening before they can enter the nine gates, and the first thing they get when they enter the nine gates is the knife score handed down from the nine guards.

The knife technique in the knife spectrum is very simple, so simple that as long as you have learned a little gun and stick kung fu, you can read and understand, and you can learn it.

But it is the most despised knife technique of these nine guards, but now it is so sharp when it is used by this person, every knife he makes has been seen on the knife spectrum, but he can't make it wield.

Relieving from the shock, the nine guards saw that the crossbow was useless to this person, so they abandoned the crossbow and drew their knives, moved into a formation, and surrounded this person.

"Presumptuous, you know that he is..."The captain saw that this person blocked the crossbow arrows shot by his hand, and just let out a sigh, he saw that his nine guards had surrounded this person, and hurriedly reprimanded him.

The reprimandable words were about to be spoken, but the man raised his hand to stop it, only to see his thin lips lightly opened, and said with a smile: "This way, I am sore all over, just move around, dredge my muscles and bones, come, let me see what kind of skill the Nine Gatekeepers are now." ”

A group of nine guards wanted to take down this thief who dared to gallop in the inner city and speak wildly, but when they heard the reprimand of their own captain, for a while you looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know what to do.

"What's the matter, the Nine Gatekeepers are so timid now, some people don't dare to take them when they ride their horses late at night?" Seeing that the Nine Gatekeepers were afraid of the captain's words, this person didn't dare to make a move, and couldn't help but sneer.

As soon as these words came out, the nine guards who surrounded him were all indignant, this person was too arrogant, and no matter what his identity could make his own captain jealous, he dared to open his mouth to use a group of nine guards to move his muscles and bones, and he wanted to teach him a good lesson for these words, and the nine guards exchanged glances, and they all clenched the single knife in their hands, and moved towards this person.

Seeing this, the person smiled at the corner of his lips, he was satisfied with the performance of the nine guards, and when he looked around, he had kept in mind the location of the nine guards, and when he turned his palm, he had turned the long knife in his hand from the waist of the captain, and turned the back of the knife outward, and the blade rushed inward.

Seeing this, the nine guards were furious, and this man looked down on people so much that he turned his back on the enemy with his sword, and their faces turned red.

"Drink." The Jiumen Junior Colonel who opened his mouth to ask the captain of the Nine Sects in front of the Xiao Mansion couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, jumped on the ground, and slashed down with a single knife in his hand, vowing to divide the powerless person in front of him into two.

The rung, the arm, and the swing of the knife were done in one go, and the little colonel was already flying out upside down and falling to the ground, and at the moment when this person shot to repel the little colonel, the remaining few nine guards were already making quick moves, and under the horizontal and vertical slashing, several long knives formed a net, enveloping this person's figure.

But before the nine guards could react, I saw this person with the light of the night in his eyes, and his body looked like a ghost walking through the net of everyone's sword light, looking at the body and knife moves that he had memorized when he entered the nine guards. The figure did not stop, and when he repelled the group of Nine Gate guards, the man had already put the single knife in his hand into the scabbard of the leading captain.

Thinking that he was stabbed, the nine guards endured the pain, and hurriedly checked their chests, only to see that the armor was on the back of the knife in the man's hand and left a deep dent on the armor, only then did they understand the meaning of his knife back to himself, if it were not for his subordinates to show mercy and use the blade against the enemy, they were afraid that their people had been stopped and killed, and everyone didn't know for a while whether to thank his men for their mercy or continue to do the roundup.

"Okay, get up, don't hurry up and thank Lord Duanmu for your mercy, otherwise, you have a few lives, I'm afraid that your family will go to the division to receive the pension money." The leading captain of the Nine Gates hurriedly shouted.

Hearing his own school captain bluntly say "Lord Duanmu", the nine guards couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there was only one person who could be called Lord Duanmu, and that was Duanmu Qiu. Xiao Xiang's protégé back then, one of the seven sons of Qi Yun, the person who founded the Nine Gate Guards, and a trusted minister of today's saints.

The seventh son of Qi Yun, even today's saints have praised it:

"One two Wu and three duanmu, four Chu, five guards and six Linghu, the seventh son Shangguan is good at divination, and the same auxiliary Qi Yun is never twilight."

In the words, the praise of the seven people jointly assisted Qi Yun, which can make Qi Yun never fall in the sky, this kind of praise has shown the ability of Qi Yun's seven sons.

Everyone hurriedly got up, crawled with a roll, put away their blades, hammered their chests with their fists, knelt down on one knee, and saluted to Lord Duanmu, shouting in unison: "Sizun." ”

"Okay, get up, I'm no longer the commander of the Nine Gate Guards, my martial arts are not proficient, I can still practice, if he serves on the battlefield, the enemy will not show mercy like me." Duanmu frowned, although he was no longer the leader of the Nine Gate Guards, after all, in the face of the Nine Gate Guards he had single-handedly created, his tone had eased a lot.

"Obey the orders of the Lord." Although everyone had never been taught by Lord Duanmu himself, it was an honor to see the legendary person in the mouth of the old nine guards, and they all opened their mouths and shouted.

Seeing that everyone was still kneeling and unwilling to leave, Duanmu Qiu understood the meaning of the nine guards, reached into his arms, and a gold medal arrow appeared in his hand...

The Holy Father gave the gold medal to order the arrow, as if the emperor was coming, not to mention the inner city of Zongma, even if it was to break into the palace at night, no one dared to stop it, and the nine guards were busy kowtowing and shouting "Long live", and they got Duanmu Qiu's order before bowing and leaving.

Seeing the nine guards go away, Duanmu Qiu turned around and led the horse, looked sideways at the Xiao Mansion, his eyes were full of nostalgia, he straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and knocked lightly on the door of the mansion.

Some people died, but not completely......
