Chapter 214: Borrowing the Sword (I)
Qi Si has been waiting outside the palace...... Seeing that Ning Que finally appeared...... Immediately relieved, he paused and walked to the house, whispering the latest information along the way.
It was late at night, but the hall of the house was still bright, several people sat silently in the hall, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing, when they looked at the old lady sitting in the first place, there was always a gentle smile on their faces, but the smile inevitably seemed reluctant.
Qi Si walked into the hall with Ning Que. Everyone stood up, clasped their fists in salute, and reported to their homes.
"Chang San, Chang Siwei. ”
"Liu Wu, Liu Si. ”
"Fei Liufei warp and weft. ”
"Chen Qi"
Today, these people in the court house are the leaders of the Fish and Dragon Gang back then, after the Chunfeng Pavilion case, their identities have shown a clear way, and they can only leave the Fish and Dragon Gang and return to the court, and now they have a very important identity in the Xiao Cavalry Camp and the Guards.
Chao Xiaoshu left the Tao of Chang'an City, and specially took his handcar to these brothers to Linforty-seventh Lane, so that Ning Que could meet, Ning Que knew the identities of these people, if you count from the side of the secret guard, everyone will be regarded as colleagues, and it is not surprising that they appear here.
Chang San and the others looked at Ning Que's eyes a little complicated.
Chao Xiaoshu left the waves, there was a faint intention to entrust the Fish Dragon Gang and them to Ning Que, but Ning Que did not accept it, they have been a little confused in their hearts about this matter, and they don't understand why Chao Xiaoshu trusts each other so much, but nearly two years have passed in a flash, and now Ning Que has already become a celebrity in Chang'an City, and they understand that the second brother Chao has already seen that this son is not good.
"This is the old lady Chao. Qi Si introduced.
Ning Que looked at the old man with gray hair and a worried face, and felt a little annoyed for some reason, frowning and said, "My parents are not far away, but he is swimming happily and freely." ”
The old lady sighed and explained for his son: "At first, I asked him to take the test for fame, and then I asked him to seek an official position, and I detained him for half his life, and now I finally have the opportunity to get rid of these, so let him go." ”
Ning Que was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this old lady to think so much and think that Chao Xiaoshu had been the emperor in the underworld of Chang'an City for many years, and the old lady was born in a scholarly family, so he didn't care about it, and he was also a shrewd person who had great ideas but was not good at coming up with ideas.
Thinking about this matter, he no longer had to avoid the old man and looked at the people beside him and said, "That Southern Jin swordsman has already been tried, and the second brother should have fought with Liu Bai." ”
There was a sudden exclamation in the hall, Chang Siwei's face was full of worry, they had lived and died together with Chao Xiaoshu for many years, and they had an almost foolish confidence in Chao Xiaoshu, but when they heard that the person who made the shot was really Sword Saint Liu Bai, they still couldn't help but feel shocked and at a loss.
Sword Saint Liu Bai is the strongest person in the world, even if the realm gains after Chao Xiaoshu leaves Chang'an, how can he be this person's opponent, but I don't know what the outcome of that battle will be.
Ning Que said: "Liu Yiqing doesn't know the specific result of that battle, Chao Xiaoshu's sword was taken away, he must have been seriously injured, but now he doesn't know where the others are." ”
Qi Si scratched his head and said in distress: "With the character of the second brother of the dynasty, he will never do the stupid thing of sword death, and the thing that needs to be confirmed now is that how much he is injured now, which ...... he is hiding in" Shangshan Village was still imprisoned by the Southern Jin Dynasty. ”
"No, the Sword Pavilion. ”
Ning Que looked at everyone and said, "Liu Yiqing doesn't dare to lie about this matter, because after finding Chao Xiaoshu Zhitao, the academy will always imprison him, and the academy has already sent a letter to the Sword Pavilion to ask Liu Bai." ”
Although the people in the field said that they once had a great reputation in the underworld of Chang'an City, and now they are important figures in the imperial court, they really don't know much about the world of cultivators, and they don't know how to start.
Chang San added: "Your Majesty also knows about this matter, and tomorrow he will officially revise the book to the lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty and ask him for someone, I think the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty should weigh it." ”
Chen Qi had been standing silently in the corner, hiding behind people, as if he was not used to letting himself be seen by too many people, and suddenly he said, "I think there is something wrong with this matter. ”
Everyone looked at him, including Ning Que.
Ning Que had noticed before that when everyone introduced their identities, they could report their names, but this Chen Qi did not, and at the same time, he remembered that the description of the people of the Fish and Dragon Gang in the underworld rivers and lakes of Chang'an City was Chang Sanleng, Qi Siruthless, Liu Wuheng, Fei Liumeng, and Chen Qiyin.
How yin is Chen Qi?
"Sword Saint Liu Bai will make a move on Second Brother Chao, maybe it's because he is happy to see Hunting, maybe he wants to suppress my Tang momentum, maybe it's because Second Brother Chao ate a bun of grain in the field of Sword Pavilion. ”
Chen Qi didn't seem to feel everyone's gaze, lowered his head and said slowly, although the content of what he said was a little funny, but his voice was gloomy like a mouse in the shadows.
"It doesn't matter. ”
"The important thing is, why did Liu Yiqing come to challenge the academy, why did he hold the sword of the second brother Chao, and why did he let everyone know about it?"
"I'm not a cultivator, and I don't know what cultivators usually think, but I think if cultivators were still human, it would be no different from the way they think like us ordinary people. ......
Ning Yuan nodded and said, "I can prove this." ”
Chen Qi slowly raised his head, and there was a ghostly light in his small eyes: "Liu Bai is the strongest person in the world, so he can't be an idiot."
It is feasible to send your own brother to slap the academy in the face, even if you lose, the hand of Tong Guò Academy sharpens your brother's cultivation, it is okay, for the sake of the disciples who died at the hands of the two of you in the Chunfeng Pavilion for two years, if you want to clean up the second brother and you, it's okay, but with the sword of the second brother of the chao, you will mistakenly think that the second brother is dead, so that your own brother will become a blind man, I don't think it is feasible to do this. ”
Ning Que was silent, recalling the battle at the side gate of the academy, confirming that what Chen Qi said made sense, if he hadn't seen Liu Yiqing holding Chao Xiaoshu's sword in his hand at that time, he would definitely not have chosen such a strong move, and it would not be good for him to blind the younger brother of Sword Saint Liu Bai.
"If I were Liu Bai, I would first defeat the second brother of the Chao who had already entered the fate, and then let my younger brother defeat Ning Que, it would be enough to make up for the matter of the Chunfeng Pavilion, and I would have no need to make a mortal enmity with the academy and the Tang Dynasty. ”
Chen Qi continued to say softly: "According to the information from the Guards Department, after you entered the second floor of the academy, your reputation immediately spread throughout the entire cultivation world, although we are not cultivators, we all know that your name is in the Book of Heaven, and many details of the Chunfeng Pavilion case have also been passed out. ”
"The natural transmission speed of the message is definitely not so fast, at that time, there were people behind the scenes, and they wanted the Southern Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion to focus on the second brother and you, then I believe that behind these two things, there are also people who are doing their hands, and Liu Yiqing will hold the sword of the second brother, which is one of the hands and feet. ”
Chen Qi calmly looked at the people in the audience and said: "I have the ability and courage to provoke the relationship between the Tang Academy and the Southern Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion, and I am also qualified to seek benefits from this matter, there is only one place in the whole world, and that is the Xiling Temple." ”
Outside the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
There is a black and white two-color ancient pavilion near the cliff, which is the sword pavilion.
The sword pavilion building goes to the mountain cliff, it is a quiet big hole, the top of the cave leads directly to the peak, there is the north of the sky, sprinkled, there is a blue pool at the bottom of the hole, a grass house, like a separate small world.
Liu Bai sat in his own small world, looking at the fine blisters spewed out by the blind fish in Bitan, slowly reached out and pulled the long hair on his shoulders behind him, and asked indifferently, "Can anyone give me an explanation?"
The news of Liu Yiqing's fiasco in the academy and his blindness has been transmitted back to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and along with this news, there are also two letters from the Tang Dynasty.
One of the letters was written by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he was now in the bedroom of the lord of the Southern Jin Dynasty, which made the lord angry to the extreme, and helpless to the extreme.
Another letter, written by an old woman in the academy, was now sitting quietly beside Liu Bai's lap, the seal had been cut, and he had probably read it.
On the side of Bitan, there were more than ten important disciples of the second generation of the Sword Pavilion kneeling, listening to the question of the master, they bowed their heads silently, not knowing how to answer at all.
Liu Yiqing lost in the head-on challenge, how can this be explained?
Liu Bai looked at Bitan in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "My own brother has actually become a blind man, who can give me a dismissal ...... class"
A disciple of the Sword Pavilion said angrily: "The academy is too ruthless, we must ...... it."
"What must be revenge? Why revenge?"
Liu Bai said with an indifferent expression: "The way of the sword lies in the spirit of being unstoppable, since I want him to defeat Ning Que and kill Ning Que, then it is a matter of course that he is defeated and killed by Ning Que." What's more, I asked him to go to the academy, originally because I wanted him to seek defeat and be able to sharpen his sword heart. ”
The disciples were shocked and speechless, and then they realized that the master had long expected that Liu Yiqing would be defeated.
Liu Bai glanced at the letter beside him, and said in a cold voice: "I just don't understand, I asked Yiqing to wash his sword, why did he go with the sword towards Xiaoshu?"
Every qiē on the sword saint Liu Bai's body is a sword, whether it is the black hair that is scattered, the tie around the waist, the slightly swinging clothes, the back of his gaze, and his voice.
When his voice became colder, the disciples of the Sword Pavilion on the side of the pool seemed to see a divine sword slowly pulling out of the eternal ice, and their eyes were invaded by the fierce sword intent, and they immediately began to stingle and cry.
The disciples were terrified, prostrate on the ground, trembling and not daring to say more.
Liu Bai turned around slowly, looked at the disciples by the pond with an indifferent expression, and said: "My younger brother is more idiotic in front of him except for the way of the sword, and it is because he is an idiot that he is so idiotic that he can't even think of a way to provoke Ning Que with the sword towards Xiaoshu, so who helped him think of it?"
There was a dead silence in the cliff cave behind the Sword Pavilion.
I don't know how long it took, but one of the disciples who was prostrate on the bank of the pond slowly straightened up, and then he stood up and took two steps towards the shore of the pool, bowing for a long time, but did not speak.
Liu Bai looked at this disciple and said with an indifferent expression: "The Adjudication Division must be better than the Sword Pavilion?"
