Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Affair and New Plans Chapter 13 The Shadow of the Lonely Wind, the Silent Sword (Autobiography) III
In 340 A.D., on the seventh day of the tenth month of the Han calendar, the fog lost the building, the snow was misty, and the wind was easy and white.
Early in the morning, Dongfang Lao'er tidied up his clothes and ran to Zigui School with great interest, saying that he wanted to see his precious granddaughter.
After I arranged for the covert escort of the guards, I hid in a corner of the backyard of the Qingyin Pavilion, chewed the green onions with relish, and then wrapped my mink fur in boredom, looked up at the sky, and sighed softly.
It seems that today is another day in a daze, and it is very boring!
Since the eldest brother took Dongfang's grandson to the Qingyin Pavilion, I have been squatting in the Qingyin Pavilion for more than a month, and in the past month, Liu Ruisheng, the second son of the Liu family, and his dog-legged people, have never set foot in the Qingyin Pavilion, and they have not even left me any clues, which makes me have no gains.
And these days, Liu Ruisheng's right-hand men Liu Bu and Xu Zhuo have always been people with their tails between them, and it seems that these two guys don't plan to look for Dongfang Chunsheng's bad luck anymore.
That's fine, the provincial master spends his strength and tongue on you.
In the past month, Dongfang Chunsheng, who was beaten by Liu Bu and only had half a life, has recovered from his injuries, and according to the doctor's instructions, he can stop taking medicine after three days, and after a few days of resting and conditioning, he can return to health.
Thinking of Dongfang Chunsheng, I can't help but sneer: the world, hundreds of schools, three religions and nine streams, each with magical powers. Dongfang Chunsheng was a famous man in the ninth rate a few decades ago, and his status in the rivers and lakes can be said to be above one person and below ten thousand people, but now he has fallen into such a field, which has to be embarrassing.
Smelling the smell of medicine slowly wafting out of the house, looking at the hazy pine in the distance, and the comfort after a full meal, I was a little in a trance.
Time flies, I have been in charge of the dart bureau for more than three years, along the way, Desheng brother support, sister Yang Guan planning, Lingyuan dart bureau prestige and strength soaring, only three years, in the entire Huaxing dart line won the first place, and even in Quzhou, which includes the entire ancient Central Plains, it has been regarded as a little famous.
Although the name of my Lingyuan Yangliu is not valuable, and the realm is not high, it can also be exchanged for three points of thin noodles in the black and white roads of Huaxing County.
But in the past three years, every late night, savoring it, there is always a trace of uneasiness and apprehension in my heart.
The dart masters who were recommended by Brother Desheng to get started, only the eldest brother was the first to look forward, and I had less and less right to speak in the Lingyuan Dart Bureau, and sometimes I didn't even have the right to speak. Half of the money and silver of the dart bureau were paid to the Liu family's tribute, although the money and silver were removed from the tribute, the income of the dart bureau was still huge, but it was not a taste in my heart, and there was a taste of working for others. At the instigation of my eldest brother, I participated in some murder and arson from time to time, and the old guys who were born and raised in the dart bureau were not used to it, and gradually went to Beishi with my father to retire, although I received both money and power, but my life became more and more restrained, and there were fewer and fewer people who could drink together.
In today's Lingyuan dart game, there seems to be no sword, although my swordsmanship is very bad; There was no wine either, although I was very poor; I don't have any friends, even though I don't have many friends.
The real rivers and lakes in my heart don't seem to be like this!
Brother Desheng has done all this in recent years, and my sister has not stopped it, so I can't say more.
Brother Desheng is to me, both of life-saving grace and sister-brother affection, this thief ship, I have to go on it.
Although, this kind of life makes me suffocating.
I admit it!
When I was thinking about it, the pine forest in the courtyard flickered, with a slight sand sound, and the pine trees moved, and the black shadows on the trees fell, one, two, three, and four...... With a reddish mist, eight black shadows fell from the trees in unison.
My eyes narrowed slightly, and there were eight dark shadows, all of which were the secret sentinels I had planted in the courtyard, and among them there were many experts who were good at stealing and investigating, and they died almost at the same time, which lifted my spirits and made me vigilant.
It's time for work!
I can slaughter eight people in a few breaths, and his means and realm are by no means below me, or even much higher than me.
I didn't think much about it, the long knife in my hand was unsheathed, my back was leaning against the corner of the wall, I reached forward with a single fist, and the horizontal knife in my right hand was placed on the back of my fist, constricting my breath, and posing in the "Yang Family Knife Technique" created by my grandfather, staring around, ready to wait for the opportunity.
Hum! Yes!
In the courtyard, there were several muffled snorts, and seven or eight secret sentinels were quietly solved by the visitors.
And I didn't even notice the slightest trace of that person's feet, it seems that the strength of the person has far exceeded my imagination.
The enemy was in the dark and I was in the open, and acting rashly was tantamount to killing myself, so I held my breath and continued to stay on the defensive.
Suddenly, under a cedar tree outside the dense fog, an extremely faint voice came from a dark shadow on the ground, "Yang Liu, save me!" ”
Carefully discerning the voice, I realized that it was one of our people.
I was about to come to my rescue, but I didn't take a single step.
This is a ploy by someone who wants to get me out of the corner, so that he can attack in the shadows, so our people will never be saved.
So, I was still breathing, and the cat was in the corner.
After a while, there was a scream, and the cedar forest was gone, and it seemed that the hunters had lost patience and slaughtered all our men and horses.
The whole backyard was quiet, and there was not a trace of breath to be found in the thick fog.
Between the confrontations, I was so uncertain that I couldn't tell for a while what kind of realm the person was and who sent it.
The neighbors all knew that the old man of the East was not in the Qingyin Pavilion today, how could the eldest brother's good second brother not know? Since he knew, how could he suddenly send someone to assassinate Dongfang Lao'er?
A thought of surprise flashed through my mind.
This person didn't come to kill Dongfang Chunsheng, but to kill me, or to kill my eldest brother.
As the old saying goes, when facing the enemy, those who are not the same in form will die!
Just when I was distracted, I suddenly felt a cold wind behind me, I shouted in my heart, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a big hand suddenly appear in the wall, making me break out in a cold sweat.
The offender used his hand as a blade, broke through the courtyard wall with one hand, and struck me straight at the back.
Its precise force, tricky direction, and quick action made my scalp tingle for a while.
In desperation, I immediately put the knife up, used the knife as a wall, and turned it counterclockwise.
I'm going to take a gamble, and if someone dares to force it, then the end will be my death, and he will lose his right arm.
I don't know if anyone is willing to pay this price.
As it turned out, I won the bet.
At the last moment, the visitor withdrew his hand, and without making a sound, he hid again in the fog.
I looked down at the knife and saw a few drops of blood on my knife, leaving a thumb on the ground, and as the long knife swirled, I removed one of his fingers.
Profit is manifested in form, merit is hidden, ruthless to the enemy, even more ruthless to himself, a ruthless assassin!
As soon as I first fought, I knew that it was not easy to mess with. So, I took a deep breath, bent down and dragged my knife, and hurried to the center of the courtyard, which had a wide field of vision, which was conducive to observing the wind and grass.
Suddenly, a dark arrow struck from the left, and when I swung my knife away, the right side of the arrow arrived.
Under the left and right, more than ten hidden arrows were dodged by me one after another, and there was no danger.
Although the courtyard was silent, a strong aura moved my eyes to the roof, and I looked up to see that the person who came to assassinate was holding a short dagger, borrowing his body as an arrow, holding the Kaohsiung wind, with the courage of a hundred people, his body kept spinning, and stabbed at me!
This momentum is very strong, with the power of thunder and electricity, which cannot be underestimated.
Oh, the master who dares to touch the tiger's buttocks, the means are really clever!
In the face of a powerful blow, I did not choose to retreat, my mind was hot, I roared, concentrated my strength, found the right time, slashed with a vertical knife, and slashed at the tip of the dagger that flew down at him, and slashed straight down.
But the moment I swung my sword, I felt remorseful, knowing that the other party had the advantage, but I was still facing each other, if nothing else, I would be cut through a big hole by his blow, and I would die for a breath, why bother.
"Brother Yang, lend you a knife!"
At the moment of life and death, a shout suddenly came behind him, and Xu Jian, the shopkeeper of the Qingyin Pavilion, came with a fat body, came with a knife, and slashed towards the person in the same direction and with the same move.
This Xu Jian's whole body was slightly fat, his lower abdomen protruded and drooped slightly, and a powerful blow was swung out by him, and the fat on his whole body was undulating like waves.
The two of us worked together, and we didn't change the ending, just heard a 'bang', Xu Jian and I, at the same time, were repelled by a volley of people and fell to the ground.
The courtyard is quiet again.
Xu Jian, who collapsed to the ground, let out a few whining and screaming a few times, and passed out.
My breath reversed, a mouthful of blood spat out uncontrollably, my eyes blurred, and I began to become delirious.
After three or four breaths, there was a person standing beside me, and I only felt that the killing intent of that person was rumbling, and it was not difficult to guess that this person was the one who came to assassinate me and my eldest brother.
I frowned slightly, and reluctantly asked, "Who are you?" ”
The person who came didn't talk, I vaguely saw him put the dagger in his sleeve, slowly approached me, squatted in front of me, expressionless, and said coldly, "You asked me for a finger just now, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, now, I will give you a gift!" ”
