Preface The world is as usual (Region: Chang'an, Hero: Li Bai, Author: Fengyue)

Next Chapter

Under the vast blue sky, the white clouds in the distance surged like the sea, and a refreshing wind blew in the face.

For the first time in his life, Xun Qing stood on such a high place and looked into the distance.

This is the edge of the Chang'an city wall, above a hundred zhang in the sky.

Under the light of the afternoon sun, there was a mighty and ancient drum sound under the sea of clouds, like an invisible hand stirring above the sky, pushing away the white clouds in front of you, and making the majestic and mighty ancient capital appear in front of you.

This is the eternal city of organs, his birthplace, his eternal home.

Ah, Chang'an!

Xun Qing's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help shedding two lines of tears.

In this way, in the fierce wind blowing in the sky, he slowly took a deep breath.

Like a chicken pinched by the neck, it screams under the butcher's knife:

"β€”Help! Life! Yes!!!! ”

It was the first time his voice had resounded so loudly through the city's skies.

It's just that it's the situation of the kidnapper......

By the time Di Renjie finally arrived at the scene, it was already two quarters of an hour later.

And Xun Qing was still screaming.

At this moment, outside the station on the city wall of Chang'an, sixteen armored combat vehicles from Honglu Temple were still snorting black smoke, like raging wolves.

Surrounded by a train full of passengers and robbers.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

"Master Di, Master Di, you are here!"

As soon as he arrived at the command post at the scene, Di Renjie saw a black shadow rushing towards him, if he hadn't seen that it was the duty officer of Honglu Temple, I was afraid that the token he was holding in his hand would have been thrown out.

And the other party has already burst into tears.

grabbed Di Renjie's hand tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Just half an hour ago, during the routine inspection from Honglu Temple, a batch of illegal smuggled goods was intercepted on a truck full of passengers from the surrounding feudal towns, and at the same time, the smugglers were arrested.

It's a pity that the next plot didn't go as smoothly as everyone imagined.

Just above the car, the smugglers who had no way to escape chose to jump over the wall in a hurry, took out the crossbow and the earth-shaking thunder, and in a hurry, the patrol messenger who did not even carry a sword was not the opponent of this group of outlaws at all. With it, all the passengers were tied to the tickets.

The kidnappers demanded to negotiate with Honglu Temple on this condition.

The condition was to get out of the way, lower the tracks, and let their car go.

As the main force in maintaining law and order in Chang'an, Honglu Temple has made outstanding contributions, dealing with the need for water grinding and full patience to deal with the investigation of thieves and stolen goods, urging the release of prisoners, etc., which requires water grinding and full patience, but helplessly, there is no way to deal with this kind of hard stubble.

Just like all institutional and technical problems have to go to Yu Hengsi, such a difficult, high-risk, and high-casualty task has always been the domain of Dali Temple.

No matter how many people there are in Honglu Temple, they don't have this ability!

Moreover, if something goes wrong, the lives of all passengers are immediately at risk.

Originally, such a rail car suspended on the high-altitude track and traveled around lightly was a unique technology and wonder in Chang'an. Who would have thought that now it would become a dead place with no way to escape and no way to attack.

And, let them cast a rat trap, and the guys simply hung a traveler on the edge of the city wall and warned them not to mess around.

Rao is Di Renjie, and he also feels at a loss at the moment.

"Why don't I take someone on a flying wing and touch the blind spot outside the city wall to rescue?"

In the shadows behind him, a voice suddenly sounded.

Yuan Fang, a demon seed boy hidden in the dark, walked out.

"No, they're sure they're going to be wary of the people down there, and besides, you're the only one who can use something like wings, it's too dangerous.

Besides, since they dared to jump over the wall in a hurry, there may not be no gunpowder and oil on the car...... In case something goes wrong, all the passengers are gone. ”

Di Renjie shook his head resolutely, "I'll go in person." ”

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the temporary command post.

"Aren't they trying to negotiate?"

Di Renjie sighed faintly, "I'll talk to them." ”

If they like the way I negotiate......

Less than half an hour later, in the empty station, Di Renjie came to the three-story car full of goods, passengers and even bandits.

Just under the sight of several trap crossbows.

Raise your hands.

Let the person who walks up to inspect it.

Soon, the slightly emaciated negotiator was roughly pushed into the cabin, and finally, he saw the passengers who were being held hostage by their swords.

And the blood on the ground......

"Fuck, all cats and dogs have to deal with people!" In front of the screaming wounded, Wang Yuan raised his head indifferently and looked at Di Renjie: "What are you doing?" ”

"Aren't you here to negotiate?"

Under the restraint, Di Renjie replied calmly: "Please calm down, in case there is any damage to the passengers, it is not okay to have twists and turns in life?" ”

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the thief in front of him.

The calluses on the right hand, as well as the criss-crossing scars on the arms, the fierce courage of the Xuanyong Ranger, I am afraid that there are a lot of lives under him.

It's a bit tricky......

"Don't try to stall any longer!" Wang Yuan put the blade of the sword on his neck and warned in a cold voice: "Get out of the way for Lao Tzu immediately, and when Lao Tzu reaches the realm of Xuanyong, it's no problem to talk about anything!" ”

"Help!"

At the edge of the city wall, seeing that someone was coming, Xun Qing suddenly screamed more and more hard, with tears in his eyes: "Adults save me!" ”

The corners of Di Renjie's eyes twitched, and his ears hurt from the shock.

…… Why don't you let the crossbowmen shoot this thing to death first?

Di Renjie even wondered if this was the work of these guys......

In desperation, he sighed, "Let him go, your purpose has been achieved, haven't you?" You can talk about anything you want, or you'll scare that guy to death. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "Ha, this is the beginning of saving the hostages?" ”

Di Renjie replied: "I have come here, of course, to ensure the safety of more passengers. Besides, I can't run away, so if you're not satisfied, why don't you kill me with a knife? ”

"Heh, he's a backbone."

Wang Yuan sneered, turned around, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to obey orders, and soon, Xun Qing, who was in tears, was taken off the rail pole and brought to Di Renjie.

Still shivering.

"Now, what you want, I'll give it to you."

Wang Yuan turned around, put the blade of the sword on Xun Qing's neck, and asked sharply, "What do I want!" ”

Di Renjie was stunned.

Just looked around, his lips opened and closed silently, as if he was silently counting something, which made Wang Yuan furious: "Speak, I'll ask you!" ”

"I know."

Di Renjie bowed, "I was just doing a math problem just now. ”

He paused, and a disturbing smile suddenly appeared on his face that had always been cold.

"...... Now"

He said, "I'm done." ”

At that moment, it was like a rainstorm swept out of thin air.

There was a dazzling light bursting out in front of everyone's eyes!

Just outside the window, under the illumination of that ray of sunlight, the ropes between Di Renjie's wrists broke silently, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.

At this moment, the unarmed Inquisitor spread his five fingers, as if ...... Hold the light in your hand.

Immediately afterward, countless bursts of light flew out in all directions with the wave of those hands.

The light of nothingness pierced through the air like a substance, whistling and shattering the wielding blades and steel, piercing through the decks, tearing through barriers, and refracting through the mirror.

Far and wide!

The entire track is shrouded in it.

In the snap of a finger, countless sounds of falling to the ground sounded one after another.

Under the exquisite calculation, all the robbers inside and outside the cabin were all defeated by the wisp of prestige like a token, and they passed out on the spot.

And the passengers, not a single injury!

It's hard to imagine what kind of secret art can give the light and shadow of nothingness a substance that is better than steel!

This incredible control turned the situation around in an instant!

But then, Xun Qing's screams sounded again, and there was a roar from Wang Yuan.

"Don't come here!"

He pulled up the hostages on the ground and blocked them in front of him, his expression was completely distorted: "Otherwise, I will kill him!" ”

Just in front of Xun Qing's neck, a huge gap had already appeared on the blade of the sword.

Uncontrollable trembling.

Di Renjie was stunned, he didn't expect this guy to be able to block his blow. Obviously, soon, he saw the bright red gem under the other party's torn clothes.

β€”β€”Heavenly Heavy Treasure Red Agate!

There is such a treasure in his body......

"Go away! Go away! No, you are standing and not moving! ”

Wang Yuan had obviously been frightened by Di Renjie's skills, and now he roared angrily, pulling the crying Xun Qing backwards: "Otherwise, I will kill him!" ”

His hand contracted inward, and a crack was cut in Xun Qing's neck.

Blood flowed down.

For a moment, Di Renjie's slightly raised fingers stiffened in mid-air, and he didn't dare to make any moves.

And under the blade, Xun Qing choked up, and was about to collapse on the ground, leaving only a confession full of heart: Dao Xuangong, I can't stand you, I finally got admitted to the second-level organ master, and before I had time to shine, I was about to die young......

I knew what I was doing in such a hurry to go back to Chang'an, didn't I jump into the fire pit?

If God gives him another chance, he will definitely change his mind, be a good man, no longer steal and play tricks, and he will not dare to buy this kind of discounted Xi station ticket cheaply.

It's a pity, but no matter how much he repents, he can't make the blade on his neck go a little farther.

He's going to die.

But so much to be done, has not yet been done.

Until death, he is a useless......

Just thinking about this, the tears of the nest can't stop.

But just as Wang Yuan nervously retreated, everyone's movements suddenly stiffened in place, because in the silence, there was a sharp sound of the door opening and closing.

Right at the foot, the entrance to the bottom warehouse that no one noticed.

A cargo door was slowly lifted.

Xun Qing's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, I couldn't help but choke violently - the strong aroma of wine actually gushed out from the crack in the door of the bottom cabin like a spring, and in an instant, it filled the entire cabin, making everyone drowsy.

In the bottom warehouse, the silhouettes of countless wine jars appeared.

It was all fine wine that merchants had transported from the clouds to Chang'an, worth thousands of gold, but they should have been lying on the shelves honestly, but now they were rolling all over the ground in a disorderly manner.

The mud seal is gone, and it is even more empty, and there is no trickle left!

Hundreds of jars of spirits in the clouds, after a long journey of three days and four nights, have been secretly drunk before they reach Chang'an...... What's even more outrageous is that there is a silver ticket on every wine jar, as if the person who steals the wine will pay!

And now, the drunken 'drunken thief' finally poked his head out from behind the door and yawned.

"Such a big move?"

The young man in white clothes covered with wine stains asked blankly, "Chang'an has arrived?" ”

In an instant, Xun Qing's newly raised heart sank into the valley again, and when he noticed the angry Wang Yuan behind him, he subconsciously exclaimed: "Run!" ”

However, it was too late.

"Where's the bastard thing!"

The desperate outlaw had already burned his eyes, and instantly slashed his sword blade at the roadblock beside him: "Give me death!! ”

The blade of the sword burst through the air, setting off a sharp roar.

Then, all sound stopped abruptly.

It was as if the silence had come suddenly.

The wind in the distance, Xun Qing's cry, Wang Yuan's roar, Di Renjie's angry rebuke, and the hustle and bustle of the bottom warehouse organ...... All insignificant sounds were torn apart by the high-pitched chirping of cranes.

At that moment, Xun Qing's eyes were full of flowers.

I felt like I saw a bleak white electric light passing in front of me, tearing through the darkness, and then the high-pitched roar of steel clashing erupted.

Sparks burst out.

illuminated Wang Yuan's hideous face, as well as the ...... in front of him Those silent eyes with drunkenness.

In the hand of that drunken young man, there was an unpretentious long sword at this moment, without any decoration, in front of Wang Yuan's blade.

It's just a random sword, but it's natural, so that the enemy's killing moves can't be advanced.

"Hey, uncle...... Calm down. ”

The young man smiled heartily: "What is there to say, how bad it is to fight and kill." ”

"I'm going to fuck you!! dead"

Wang Yuan's eyes were already completely red, and he even left everything behind, raised the blade again, and slashed down.

The sound of breaking the air is like thunder!

"Huh?"

At that moment, the young man's raised eyes saw the blood on his blade, as if he finally understood something.

The smile on his face stagnated.

When drunkenness and sleepiness faded from those eyes, something more terrible awoke.

In that case......

"Keep people under the sword!"

At that moment, Di Renjie roared angrily.

But not to Wang Yuan, but to that ...... Seemingly harmless teenager.

For a solemn iron light rose from the darkness, like a fierce star that suddenly crossed the starry field in the long night, releasing a breathtaking flame.

Bring signs of calamity.

Bring death.

Xun Qing's eyes widened subconsciously, but he couldn't see the change at that moment at all.

I just felt that at that moment, the whole world was incredibly slow. Because something is so fast, so fast that even the lightning in the sky and the thoughts of people are beyond the reach......

And then it was all over.

Wang Yuan froze in place.

In the dead silence, only the young man slowly put his sword into the sheath.

Then a ray of silver light suddenly emerged from the sky, expanding straight and extending to the sides like a bird.

Everywhere he passed, the wall panels on both sides of the cabin, the half-open doors, the keels above the ceiling, the countless bronze components, the air, and even the sword blade in Wang Yuan's hand, a crisp crack appeared.

In this short period of time, the victory and defeat have been decided.

It's hard to describe how swift and powerful that kind of swordsmanship is, but it's like a bubble for a short time, and it's impossible to distinguish it.

Only a deep voice burst out.

It was the trembling Wang Yuan who fell to his knees, and he didn't dare to make any moves.

Shivering.

All the fighting spirit and ferocity were shattered by the sharp sword. Immediately after that, there was a burst of breaking sound, so harsh.

In the cramped car, the ceiling wailed and cracked.

Xun Qing raised his head sluggishly, and saw a ray of scorching sun falling from the crack, illuminating the young man's face, like a white jade carved in the clouds, reflecting the sunlight and stinging his pupils.

"Are you alright?"

The young man stretched out his hand to Xun Qing on the ground and asked softly, "Can you still stand up?" ”

Subconsciously, Xun Qing held his hand and nodded hard, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"In, under is Xun Qing...... Excuse me, what do you call it? ”

"Hello, Xun Qing."

The young man laughed, slung the long sword in its sheath on his shoulder, raised a wisp of grass at the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and told him:

"I'm Li Bai."

According to future statistics.

On this day, Honglu Temple solved a major smuggling case, defended innocent citizens, and was appreciated by all parties, and all members added a chicken leg to dinner.

In Dali Temple, Di Renjie sat in the interrogation room with a black face and interrogated for a long time to confess nothing, and everyone began to work overtime all night.

Yu Hengsi submitted a budget application for the new quarter and a new round of maintenance plans for the public organs of Chang'an City to the Ministry of Households, which were approved, and 160 million taels of silver were allocated on the same day.

There were three homicides and more than 100 brawls in the city, and 11 thieves were arrested, and four were car stealers and money stolen.

One of them was arrested by Dali Temple, who was stealing alcohol......

The largest blind date restaurant in the city announced that it had facilitated the 100,000th marriage and started a limited-time membership promotion, triggering a new round of buying frenzy.

The 'Kuafu Team' defeated the 'Red Boots Team' in the 9th Chang'an Cup Organ Polo Finals and won the championship.

……

There are all sorts of them, and what happens is different.

But they all have one characteristic, that is, there is nothing new, and it is always commonplace.

And Chang'an is still running.

As always, calm and patient, ushering in a new day.
