Chapter 136: Sinners
Next to the boulder.
The deadly scholar smacked fiercely and scolded: "What? You, a little doll dressed as a man, dare to look down on Lao Tzu? β
Eunuch Wang immediately scolded: "Bold thief, you dare to be so peaceful...... The sub speaks. β
Princess Taiping clenched the long sword in her hand and looked at the dwarf in the distance in disbelief.
She originally thought that the thief who could be called a deadly scholar was at least dressed as a scholar, not to mention what she looked like, no matter how she said it, it shouldn't be this kind of dwarf figure.
But when she saw it today, she was really disappointed.
Zuo Dao looked at the deadly scholar not far away, with some surprise on his face, and then spoke: "This person has been injured, and his strength can only be exerted at most, which is more in line with the strength of the princess." β
Eunuch Wang was a little worried: "The princess is fighting for the first time, why don't you let the old slave break one of his legs first?" β
Princess Taiping shook her head and said: "No, he has been seriously injured, even if I win, I will not be able to win, the eunuch and Master Zuo are not allowed to make a move, his opponent is me." β
Not far away, the life-killing scholar looked at the people who stopped in the distance, and scolded and said: "A group of eggless cowards have been chasing and killing Lao Tzu for so long, why did they coax it when it came to the end." β
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, the more vicious his tone became, and even a little aggrieved in his words.
Originally, he was on the outskirts of Kyoto, so he didn't dare to approach Kyoto at all.
But one day, a man saw him and beat him, and he was obviously strong, but he didn't hurt his life, but just drove him to Kyoto.
It was driven all the way to the outskirts of Kyoto, and then to the small towns.
I live in a simple house on weekdays, and occasionally go out to have a good time, and the other party pretends not to see it.
Only if you want to leave the vicinity of Kyoto, you will be beaten violently.
In this way, he remained on the outskirts of Kyoto for a long time, until the man reappeared two days ago.
It was a lot more ruthless, but it still didn't hurt his life.
This time, the opponent will drive it away from Kyoto, and every time he stops, he will be beaten, and if he runs fast, he will also be beaten.
I think he took his life as a scholar and made such a big name in the Great Wei, when did he suffer such a grievance.
Today, he is not running away!
Listening to the other party's words, a look of surprise flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes.
It seems that there are really people chasing this deadly scholar all the way.
Now, the Death Scholars regard them as if they were in the company of their pursuers.
This should not be a coincidence.
Someone did it on purpose.
Princess Taiping listened to the foul words of the deadly scholar in the distance, her face was extremely ugly, and she immediately drew her sword and rushed over.
Seeing this, Eunuch Wang hurriedly followed.
The left road walked forward unhurriedly, and searched around along the way, as if trying to find something unusual.
In an instant, Princess Taiping rushed not far in front of the deadly scholar, and was about to attack with a shout.
The deadly scholar raised his hand and shot out two hidden weapons, and then took advantage of the situation to meet the strange-shaped blade in his hand.
The two hidden weapons pierced the sky, and they came to Princess Changping in an instant.
Princess Changping's face changed slightly, and the long sword in her hand danced a sword flower, and the two hidden weapons were directly knocked down.
But as soon as she came back to her senses, the deadly scholar had already rushed in front of her.
The two strangely shaped blades in his hands wiped towards Princess Taiping's throat, trying to cut her throat directly.
Princess Taiping took a half step back and struck her wrist with the long sword in her hand.
If this sword is implemented, at least the hands of this deadly scholar will be broken.
But when the blade of his sword pointed at the tesuji of the deadly scholar, he saw the blade in the latter's hand pressing down and blocking the sword.
Then he smiled and went straight to Princess Taiping.
He could see that this little lady dressed as a man was probably a child of a big family who went out to practice.
That being the case, he had a chance of surviving.
As long as this little girl is captured and dragged across the river, no matter how powerful the guards are, they will not be able to catch up with him.
Princess Taiping saw the life-killing scholar rushing forward, and her face suddenly showed a look of panic.
It was the first time she had encountered such a deadly style of play.
Her teachers had also fed her in the past, but the fight was always on point.
No matter how bad it is, it's a lesson for her.
But this fatal scholar is different, every time he strikes, it is a killer move, and although the fatal scholar is short, he is quite flexible.
And the experience of fighting is not comparable to ordinary people.
Princess Taiping subconsciously aimed her sword at the rushing scholar with both hands.
Eunuch Wang's face changed even more, and he immediately jumped towards Princess Taiping, and his body flew away like a big bird.
But in the next second, I saw Princess Taiping suddenly shoot a crossbow arrow from her wrist.
The pocket crossbow arrow flashed away, directly piercing the throat of the deadly scholar.
A stream of blood instantly gushed out from the wound and sprinkled directly on Princess Taiping's body.
The hot blood made Princess Taiping stunned in place for an instant.
This scene made everyone a little stunned.
Originally, they couldn't help but want to make a move, but they didn't expect this to be the result in the end.
Zuo Dao was also a little surprised, there were so many treasures on this little princess.
The Hidden Arrow tied to his wrist was so ingenious that even he couldn't spot it.
The life and death of the book of death are not unjust.
The deadly scholar covered the wound on his throat, looked unwilling, and struggled: "You, despicable ......"
As soon as the words fell, the whole person fell to the ground and whimpered for his life.
And Princess Taiping just watched the deadly scholar fall in front of her, and after her body twitched for a moment, she had no life.
The whole person's face was a little pale, and his eyes were blank, as if he was frightened.
Even her sword-wielding hand trembled faintly.
Eunuch Wang said with an anxious face: "Oh, my little ancestor, are you okay!" β
As he spoke, some people stood in front of Princess Taiping, who was covered in blood, wanting to touch it but not daring to touch it.
Then he yelled at the guards who were dressed as men not far away: "What are you still standing there doing, come and wait for the master to change clothes." β
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a large package from his horse's bag, which contained the tent he had prepared in advance.
Zuo Dao stepped forward and looked at Princess Taiping, whose eyes were a little dull, frowning slightly.
I'm afraid this girl was scared stupid.
After all, he has always lived in a place like the palace, and he has been favored by all parties, and he has never even seen blood, let alone killed people with his own hands.
This time, I'm afraid it's been difficult to get through this hurdle for a long time.
I saw several guards dressed as men taking out handkerchiefs and carefully wiping the blood stains on Princess Taiping's body.
After the tent was set up, he took Princess Taiping in, and someone was responsible for fetching water and boiling water and wiping it.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu came to Zuo Dao's side, and couldn't help scratching their heads when they looked at the scene in front of them.
They obviously didn't expect this scene either.
It stands to reason that Princess Taiping's strength is about the same as them, but her real combat power is 108,000 miles behind.
And I haven't seen blood yet, and I'm afraid I'm going to be stupid when I kill someone for the first time.
How can this princess Taiping shout every day that she wants to be a Great Wei Sword Immortal, I'm afraid that I haven't read too much of the book.
Although there was some slander in his heart, no one dared to say it, just stood around and guarded.
Eunuch Wang walked out of the tent, came to Zuo Dao's side, and complained: "Lord Zuo, why don't you make a move in advance, Her Royal Highness the Princess is afraid that she will be frightened this time." β
Hearing this, Zuo Dao frowned and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess came out this time because of the experience, if you don't see blood, what kind of experience will you talk about." β
"And in the town before, she has already seen blood, it won't be too unbearable, just pass this hurdle."
After a while, Princess Taiping, who had washed up and changed her clothes again, walked out of the tent.
He said to Eunuch Wang: "Eunuch, you don't have to blame Master Zuo, since I came out to practice, this is a hurdle that I can't avoid." β
When the eunuch heard this, he said, "Your Highness, why do you need to come out to practice, it is enough to have those masters in the palace to teach. β
Princess Taiping shook her head and said, "It's not enough, they never dared to fight me seriously, if it weren't for this fateful scholar, I didn't know I was so weak." β
"There is no strength and treasures, and there is no half of combat power."
She looked at Zuo Dao and said, "Master Zuo, there are bandits near Kyoto, I want to continue to sharpen it." β
When Eunuch Wang heard this, his face turned into a bitter gourd.
He just couldn't figure it out, why did this pampered eldest lady want to leave Kyoto and leave the palace to go through the training?
There is no danger in staying in the palace, and there are so many famous teachers to guide you.
But this little ancestor is obviously determined to continue the experience, and he doesn't want to go back if he doesn't succeed.
Eunuch Wang frowned at Zuo Dao, trying to make him refuse.
Zuo Dao thought for a while and said: "In the downstream of this river, nearly a hundred miles away from Kyoto, there are often water bandits, and the local people are miserable. β
Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Princess Taiping immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then go find those water bandits." β
At this moment, although her face is still a little pale, at least it is not the moment when she just killed someone.
Zuo Dao looked at Princess Taiping a little strangely, and he couldn't figure out why Her Royal Highness the princess was so persistent.
And when he killed the scholar who killed him just now, the stunned appearance was not fake at all, yes, he was indeed frightened.
It's just past tea time, and it's okay again?
Zuo Dao couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then Your Highness will rest for a while, and we'll set off later." β
Princess Taiping said, "No need to rest, just set off." β
Hearing this, Zuo Dao nodded, and then ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to dispose of the corpse.
The group mounted their horses and headed for the lower reaches of the river.
β¦β¦
Inside Kyoto.
Cao Xiang looked at the brocade guards in front of him with an ugly face, and his heart was full of anger.
This martial arts examination has only been held for a few days, and dozens of martial artists who participated in the defeat of the martial arts examination have already disappeared.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the disappearance of the warrior will be known to everyone.
What the hell is that royal brother going to do?
He took a deep breath, and then said, "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." β
Hearing this, a brocade guard below walked out and led the horse.
Cao Xiang turned on his horse and went straight to the palace.
He didn't pass all the way, and came directly to the Buddha hall where Cao Yan was.
At this moment, in the Buddha hall, in addition to Cao Yan, there is another person, who is Pudu Cihang, who was summoned into the palace.
After Cao Xiang saw this person, his brows immediately furrowed.
Even he had some doubts in his heart about whether his imperial brother's puppet refining method was offered by this Pudu Cihang.
There is such a means to hurt the heavens and the peace, and only this kind of monster will!
When Cao Yan saw Cao Xiang coming, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said, "The thirteenth brother is here." β
"Why did you come to find the emperor's brother today?"
Cao Xiang's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Brother Huang, this Great Wei Martial Arts Examination was single-handedly promoted by you, if the martial artists continue to disappear, where is my Great Wei's face?" β
When Pudu Cihang heard this, he smiled and said, "The martial artist is missing, isn't this the duty of Lord Cao Jinyiwei?" β
Cao Xiang glared angrily: "Shut up, my Da Wei matter, when can you monster interject." β
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying power suddenly erupted from his body, and he went straight to Pudu Cihang.
Pudu Cihang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha! The poor monk is a national teacher personally appointed by His Majesty, so he is naturally qualified to speak. β
As a Buddha light flickered, the coercion that erupted on Cao Xiang's body slowly dissipated a lot.
Cao Yan sat on the futon, smiling at all this in front of her.
Cao Xiang was a little surprised in his heart, when Pudu Cihang had just entered Beijing, his strength was much worse than his own.
It's only been a long time now, and I'm faintly able to compete with myself.
This monster, how quickly can its strength improve?
If he is allowed to practice for a few more years, there will be no one to compete with except the old ancestor.
Just when the atmosphere in the field was tense.
I only heard Cao Yan say with a smile: "Thirteenth brother, why did you lose such a big temper as soon as you entered the palace, but when did my imperial brother make you angry." β
Hearing this, Cao Xiao turned his head to look at Cao Yan and sighed deeply.
Said: "Brother Huang, stop it!" β
Cao Yan smiled and waved her hand, letting Pudu Cihang leave on his own.
After he left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Cao Yan coldly.
opened his mouth and said: "Do you think that in the palace, I am the only one who captures the warriors?" β
When Cao Xiang heard this, he immediately spoke: "My subordinates have seen it with their own eyes......"
He wasn't done yet.
I heard Cao Yan laugh and say, "Your subordinates have seen it with their own eyes, and what you said is that Zuo Dao!" β
"Do you know why I transferred him out of Kyoto?"
Cao Xiao frowned and said, "What does the imperial brother mean by this?" β
Cao Yan slowly stood up, came to the offering table, took a fruit from it, and took a bite at random.
"In this palace, there are many more warriors who have been kidnapped than your imperial brother and me."
Cao Xiang's face changed, he turned his head to look at the deep palace, and said, "You mean the old ancestor?" β
Cao Yan had a strange face and said with a smile: "Yes! Old! Ancestor! Sect! β
Cao Xiang frowned, and said, "What is the use of the old ancestor asking for these martial artists?" β
Cao Yan said: "Tsk, my thirteenth brother, why are you still so naΓ―ve when you have been a commander for so many years?" β
"More than ten years ago, in the case of the dry up of martial arts, didn't you find a little clue?"
"Now his methods are just a little more sophisticated, and you don't even realize it."
"If it weren't for you being my thirteenth brother, he would have already summoned you into that hut, after all, a great grandmaster-level martial artist, I don't know how much longevity he can bring him."
The pupils in Cao Xiang's eyes shrank, and his complexion began to become a little difficult to look at.
Cao Yan walked up to Cao Xiang, raised his hand on Cao Xiang's shoulder, and said, "Brother Huang doesn't want to do this, but who made that old ancestor go crazy." β
"We have the blood of the royal family, it is an opportunity and a crisis, if it is a hundred years earlier, the imperial brother and I are also a good emperor who works hard."
"But whoever let the ancestor's longevity is about to be cut off, and the luck of Great Wei has made it a scourge to the stage of demon death."
"At the border, there are still so many strong enemies eyeing each other, if you let the old ancestor continue to plague like this, Dawei will change hands sooner or later in the hands of you and me."
"When the time comes, my two brothers will be the sinners of Great Wei!"
Cao Yan withdrew her hand and turned to look into the depths of the palace, a touch of gloom flashed in the depths of her eyes.
When Cao Xiang heard this, his expression on his face was uncertain, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
