Chapter 10: The Black-Faced Swordsman

"Brother, what do you mean by this", Tian Yi heard it and stepped forward to inquire.

"Recently, it has been rumored in the royal city that Gongsun Xiangguo, the last dynasty got lost in the main hall, and called the deceased person to the minister, which is really old and chaotic."

When Tian Yi heard this, he sighed in his heart, the country of Qi is one article and one martial arts, and the pillars of the country have collapsed one after another, is it true that the Great Qi is exhausted?

"I don't know where the Marquis of Pingling is buried", Tian Yi continued to inquire.

"The Marquis of Pingling failed to force the palace, died of illness in prison, and the king ordered him to be buried thickly, near the royal tomb in the east of the city, and did not enter the royal tomb, and was not allowed to erect a monument inscription", passers-by whispered: "Now others are afraid to avoid it, you ask what to do with this."

"I am from Dongpingling, and I have received the grace of the Marquis of Pingling, and I just want to pay respects," Tian Yi replied.

"You can go and worship quietly, and don't make a fuss, so as not to provoke anger," the passer-by continued: "By the way, there was a lame man with a black face who inquired about it like you."

"Thank you", Tian Yi bowed his hand to passers-by.

Tian Yi turned his head to look at the crescent moon, I don't know when it started, Tian Yi always had to look at the crescent moon when he had something, as if to ask for her meaning.

"I'll go with you", Yue'er said, she seemed to be able to see through Tian Yi's mind at a glance.

The two bought some worship items and went straight to the east of the city.

Near the royal tomb, I saw a new tomb in the distance, the only new tomb.

At present, it is clear that there is a person worshipping, wearing a shabby black coarse cloth robe, and you can see that this person is strong by looking at the back.

When the two arrived, Tian Yi arched his hand and asked, "Who is this gentleman the Marquis of Pingling?"

This person turned his head and glanced at Tian Yi, but did not answer, and only worshiped by himself.

Tian Yi was really startled when he saw this person turn his head, only to see that this person's face was full of black horizontal lines, and his face was terrifying, like a demon.

Tian Yi saw that this person didn't answer, so he didn't ask anymore, knelt on the ground and worshiped his father, there were others here, he didn't want to reveal his identity, he only meditated in his heart.

Since learning the bad news of his father's death, Tian Yi has passed the saddest time, and today he came here to worship, and his heart was full of doubts but more sadness.

When he had finished his work, the black-faced man took up the iron sword and the package on the ground, got up and left first, and walked northward, not walking quickly, for his right foot was lame.

The iron sword, said to be a sword, only looked like a sword, rough, worn, rusty, without a scabbard, except for the tip of the sword, it was a little sharp, perhaps it was more appropriate to call it an iron piece.

Speaking of ironware, Tian Yi can be said to be very familiar, because in addition to farming, the people of Dongpingling, his hometown, mostly made a living from casting, and iron tools were not popularized at that time, only for the imperial court and the military, and it was difficult for ordinary people to use them.

This person holds an iron sword, his identity is not simple, and he worships his father here, and he must have some relationship with his father.

Tian Yi glanced at the crescent moon, and the crescent moon understood, and the two followed the black-faced man.

The black-faced man was lame and didn't walk fast, and the two quickly caught up. But it seems that this person is also walking in the direction of Yanguo, saying that it is tracking, and it feels that the three of them are walking along the way.

As he was walking, the black-faced man suddenly looked back at Tian Yi, and immediately, the iron sword was as fast as his gaze, and the tip of the sword had reached Tian Yi's throat.

"What a fast sword", Yueya Er was shocked, holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, and did not dare to move.

"Why follow me"? The black-faced man spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

"We want to go to Yan Kingdom, where is to follow Mr."? Tian Yi looked at the iron sword and said, "Aren't we taking the road to Yan Kingdom?"

"This road is the only way to go to Yan Kingdom", Yueya helped to play the round, "Do you think I will lead you the wrong way"?

Tian Yi replied: "I didn't say that you took the wrong path, it seems that this gentleman has misunderstood us."

"If you don't want to die, stay away from me", the black-faced man withdrew his sword, turned around and continued to move slowly.

Crescent Moon made fun of Tian Yi while walking, deliberately slowing down her walking speed, and kept letting the black-faced man walk in front.

After walking for a long time, the two of them were hungry, and when they saw a rice stall on the side of the road in front of them, they ordered some food to satisfy their hunger.

The black-faced man not far away was obviously hungry as well, but he didn't go into the food stall, but only sat down on the side of the road, taking out dry food from his baggage and nibbling on it.

"Hey, this gentleman, it's cold, come and have a bowl of hot soup," Crescent Moon shouted at the black-faced man.

The black-faced man looked at him casually, and then looked left and right and saw that there was no one else, obviously calling himself, got up and walked over slowly, and when he arrived at the table, he was not polite, and sat down directly.

"I don't have any money for you," the black-faced man said silently.

"This girl is very happy and charitable, and I don't want your money," said the crescent moon.

"Don't laugh with Mr.", Tian Yi said to the crescent moon, and then said to the black-faced man: "Mr. is going to Yan Kingdom, if you don't dislike it, you can go with us."

"Seeing that you have no malice, you will go together", the man in black agreed, drank a sip of hot soup, looked up at Tian Yi, and asked: "I am the old department of the Marquis of Pingling, I took off my armor due to injuries and lived in the Yan Kingdom, so I came to worship when I heard the news, why did this old man also worship the Marquis of Pingling?"

"I am a servant of the old house of the Marquis of Pingling", Tian Yi thought for a while, and said: "The master has encountered an accident and wants to go to Yan Country to defect to distant relatives, my name is Tian An, I don't know what Mr. is called"?

"Tian An"? The black-faced man stared at Tian Yi: "I was originally a pawn in the army, and my name is not worth mentioning."

"I don't want to say it", the crescent moon pouted.

The black-faced man looked at Tian Yi while eating, and Tian Yi was uncomfortable.

"Seeing that the old man talks well, but at this age, he has a well-dressed beard, not only does the old man have no beard, but this figure and face look incompatible, a little strange", the black-faced man said the question in his heart.

"I'm just a domestic servant, I don't pay much attention to it, and I don't think it's troublesome to take care of my beard, so I don't stay, I usually do some rough work, so I look stronger," Tian Yi replied.

Yueya listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly laughed, "I've been looking at what is wrong with the uncle, and I don't know how to describe it, today I was broken by this gentleman, and the uncle looks like a eunuch."

Tian Yi was embarrassed when he said this.

The black-faced man laughed loudly, and the laughter shook the roof of the food stall. Crescent Moon was secretly shocked in her heart: "This person is by no means an idle person."

The three of them walked together, stayed day and night, and unconsciously entered the Yan realm.

Walking along the road, Tian Yi saw that there were a lot of fertile fields in Yan Kingdom, and there were no signs of drought, so that the Qi people could see it, which was really envious.

While he was walking, four people came out next to him to block the way, and Tian Yi saw that it was the four people he met outside the valley.

"Miss, I've finally found you again, and this time you're going back with us no matter what," one of them said.

"I said, you have recognized the wrong person, why don't you have a ghost." Crescent Moon said angrily.

The four of them drew their swords and stepped forward, and before they could make a move, the black-faced man had flashed behind the four of them, each with a sword, and slapped it on the buttocks, and the four of them fell to the ground in response, covering their buttocks and grinning with their aching teeth.

"It turns out that the young lady hired a master to be a bodyguard", a man in white appeared not far away and said coldly. This person is handsome, scholarly, the corners of his eyes are slightly upturned, and the corners of his mouth are slightly drooping, his hands are turned upside down, and he is holding a sword in his hand, looking so arrogant.

"I didn't expect you to go out in person", Yueya Er realized that the situation was not good, "Qing Cifei"!

Qing Cifei, Tian Yi has heard this name, and some of the swordsman teachers that his father invited him before have mentioned that Qing Cifei is a famous swordsman master in the world, and the four major swordsmen rank third.

Keijifei walked over slowly, standing not far behind the black-faced man.

The black-faced man turned around, looked at each other, and Qingcifei blurted out: "The bodyguard invited by Miss turned out to be you?" Chao Chuan"!

The black-faced man is none other than Chao Chuan, the swordsman Chao Chuan, who ranks second among the four major swordsmen.
