Chapter 2: Goodbye to Stone Town

From the elephant years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and even the later Tang Dynasty, there are actually not many people who use swords as weapons, especially the narrower double-edged sword held by Cui Yu, most of which are just decorative things worn by rich and noble people, and even if they are used, they are mainly ordinary horizontal knife moves.

However, the Cui family's swordsmanship is indeed unique, and Cui Yu's sword rise and fall also really shows the swiftness and ferocity of his family's swordsmanship, which is completely different from the sword dance performances often in official banquets.

At this moment, Cui Yu is even more in a good posture, breathing luck in an instant to use five consecutive killing moves "Yin and Yang Five Flashes", this continuous killing move is sometimes as fast as thunder, sometimes illusory as fog, can take people's lives between the dazzling virtual and real, it is the ancient swordsmanship handed down in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is mostly used by the Cui family's civil officials and military divisions in the troubled times.

Although Cui Yu's "Yin and Yang Five Flashes" still needs to be refined, as long as he can use it coherently in one go, he is sure to recover all the decline that has been played before.

It's a pity that the premise of all this is at least to be able to use it, Cui Yu's side was just about to raise his sword and draw his sword, and the black-robed traveler's figure was already approaching its door......

The traveler struck Cui Yu in the throat with a hand knife, and then slapped it to his chest with a palm, Cui Yu suddenly felt difficult to breathe, and he naturally couldn't use the killing move with his qi power. In a panic, Cui Yu gritted his teeth and slashed at the traveler, the traveler was agile, advanced and raised his arm, and the back of his hand hit Cui Yu's hand holding the sword from the bottom to the top like a whip, the latter let go of his hand, and his family heirloom sword fell into the traveler's hand after a few circles in the air.

The footsteps in the inn were messy for a moment, and there was also the jingle of the small plaything on the waist of the scarlet boy, after hearing the sentence "There is danger, protect the Yuwen son", a table of more than a dozen servants in the hall The men all drew their knives and protected the scarlet boy who hurriedly retreated to the side, the style and size of their horizontal knives are no different from the Da Sui saber commonly used in the army, except that the handle of the knife is inlaid with a special metal system, which is obviously the private soldier of the Yuwen family.

And the young master and lady of the family and the personal slave at the other tables also stood up unseatedly, looking aggressive, but in fact their steps were backwards.

However, the traveler didn't seem to want to continue to hurt anyone in the hall, he took Cui Yu's silver sword and retreated two steps back to the same place, and didn't look at Cui Yu's blushing face, just looked at the scarlet-clothed boy surrounded by the warriors and said, "Why don't you stop the fun, how about letting the girl and her servants go first?" ”

The scarlet-clothed boy could swallow this breath, and he said arrogantly through the private soldiers: "Isn't it just that you won an idle family son, and you really think you are invincible in the world?" I'll tell you that if you're interested, kneel down and beg for mercy from my grandfather, otherwise I'll have to let people chop up the lowly slave girl next to you today. ”

Before the black-robed traveler could speak, the delicate woman dressed in men's clothes on the side spoke first, only to see her pull out the dagger at her waist and face the scarlet-clothed boy and the people in the hall: "Then come, you northerners, don't think that if you destroy Chen Guo, you will be able to run rampant in Jiangnan, and I, Lu Xiao, will definitely turn into a ghost to seek revenge on you even if I die today." ”

The traveler looked at the woman who was angry like a fried white cat on the side with some surprise, feeling that she had decided to use all her strength to fight the enemy in a final desperate fight, and the men around her who had been knocked down again and again also got up one by one one under the impetus of this momentum.

Lu Xiao seemed to feel the traveler's gaze, she turned her face and raised her dexterous chin and nose slightly to look at the traveler, there was a hint of tenderness in the nervousness and bravery in her eyes, only to see her green lips open and close slightly: "Gongzi Xie is coming out for us, but now the situation is dangerous, Gongzi, please hurry up and take the first step, we will take the lead for you." ”

The traveler could feel Lu Xiao's concerned words revealing the determination to fight to the death, compared with Cui Yu, who was beaten by three or two moves just now, and the scarlet-clothed boy who hid in the crowd and made a lot of nonsense, he looked at Lu Xiao's weak and strong back, and a burst of admiration surged in his heart.

The other young ladies on the main seat unconsciously approached each other and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that the travelers would kill them, and they were also afraid that Lu Xiao and her men would fight to the death together. Originally, a few Jianghu dart masters hired on the road were also tossed away by Cui Yu, who had no one in his eyes, and now that this thing is out, if they really want to see blood and fight for their lives, these children of the family born with a golden soup spoon don't know where to run, after all, the door of the inn is still guarded by the two simple fat duns of Ah Fu and Ah Wang.

Tonight's weather was also unexpectedly bad, the outside and the fall was getting bigger and bigger, the roof of the inn that had just been repaired for a long time actually began to drip slowly, and the wind whirred to drive the debris piled up on the street, making a clattering sound.

Under the stalemate between the two parties, the traveler picked up his sword and said to Cui Yu, "You just gave me this sword?" There was still some banter in the tone.

"This is my Cui family's heirloom sword, give it back to me!" Cui Yu pointed at the traveler and said angrily.

"Then you can get it." The traveler carried the sword and threw it into the sky, and the famous sword of Cui Yu's family drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the second floor behind the traveler.

The trick-like flick attracted the attention of everyone present, and Cui Yu rushed over nervously to pick it up, but at the same time as Cui Yu started, a black shadow had already passed his ears, and Cui Yu, who was about to run with all his strength to catch the sword, suddenly didn't know whether to continue to catch the sword or turn around to protect the scarlet man, and his body was even more stiff in place as if he had been immobilized and could only watch his family heirloom sword fall to the ground with wide eyes.

The guards in front of the scarlet boy first saw the traveler throwing his sword into the sky, then found Cui Yu stupidly in place, and then found that the traveler's white face and indifferent eyes had arrived.

The sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the traveler drew his sword with a "bang", and in an instant, he had already repelled the first few guards who were protecting the scarlet boy with the back of the knife.

Between the flickering of the sword light and the figure, Lu Xiao, who was standing on the other side, only saw several guards in front of the scarlet boy being knocked down and flying on both sides, and more than a dozen guards scattered almost like spring flowers, leaving a spacious avenue for the black figure.

The scarlet boy didn't even have a chance to turn around, and when he looked at the traveler's face carefully, he only felt a chill on his neck. The traveler who had just injured people with the back of the knife was facing upwards at this moment, and the white and tender neck of the scarlet man was against his chin, and as long as the wrist was instantly forced, he could take the life of the scarlet man from the bottom up.

The traveler put his knife to the throat of the scarlet boy and then looked back at the guards on both sides who were holding knives, and when he slashed these people with the back of his knife, he felt that they were wearing protective armor, plus after all, they had received the harsh training of the Yuwen family's "Golden Snake Guard", and even if they were defeated, they quickly got up.

It's just that now these guards don't dare to do anything at all, and the strength shown by the traveler makes them believe that the life of the scarlet boy is in the other party's mind at this time.

Seeing that the guards of the Yuwen family did not dare to take half a step closer despite their fierce faces, the traveler advanced forward and stood behind the side of the scarlet man, holding his beautifully embroidered back neckline with one hand and pressing the blade against his throat with the other.

The scarlet-clothed boy only felt that a cold murderous aura pierced from behind, jumping up and down in his internal organs, and he could feel that the traveler behind him was not just threatening but really wanted to kill him.

"Don't, don't, don't...... The hero spared his life, just now I had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and I made amends to you. The scarlet boy was trembling all over, and he wanted to raise his hands in surrender, but the muscles in his arms and shoulders were only afraid of himself, and he couldn't use any strength.

"Let the girl go with her men." The traveler's voice crept into the ears of the scarlet-clad boy, causing him to feel tingling on the top of his head one after another.

The scarlet-clothed boy had completely lost his previous domineering posture at this moment, and he said "good and good......", and the hand in the wide-sleeved robe shook at everyone in the inn, signaling them to make way for Lu Xiao and her subordinates.

Not far away, Ah Fu and Ah Wang were obviously a little unhappy, and even the servants of the Yuwen family couldn't pull half a step, and the traveler saw this and put the knife in his hand towards the neck of the scarlet boy with a little bit of strength, so frightened that the scarlet boy hurriedly scolded: "You two fools don't open the door quickly, do you want to watch me die here?!" ”

The rain outside the inn was still dripping, and several men beside Lu Xiao saw that the people under the scarlet man didn't dare to move any more, so they hurriedly packed up their things to escort Lu Xiao away, but Lu Xiao was unwilling, she looked at the traveler who was holding the knife and wanted to hold the scarlet man, and called out to the hurried guy beside her, "People saved us with their lives, and we left like this?" How can you be so greedy for life and afraid of death? If you want to go, I can't just abandon my benefactor. ”

The traveler saw Lu Xiao standing still, afraid that she was too kind-hearted and unwilling to give up herself and leave, so she said bluntly to her in the air: "Girl, please take a step first, if I am alone, this group of people will definitely not be able to stop, if we cover each other, we will be a burden and no one can go, if we are fated, let's see each other in Stone City." ”

The traveler's tone of speech to Lu Xiao was flat and leisurely, and there was no trace of nervousness, as if the two were just companions who had met by chance during the journey and were about to separate.

Seeing that Lu Xiao was frowning and still entangled, a slender young man next to him hurriedly persuaded, "Miss, let's leave first, I will quickly go back to Stone City to find the eldest prince to move the rescuers, and when the time comes, don't say that it is to save the black man, and teach all the people here a lesson." ”

After packing his bags, the Lu Mansion guy walked past Cui Yu with a large bag and a small bag, and Cui Yu was sitting on a side table at this moment, looking sluggish, not knowing what he thought, the rain gradually subsided, and the sound of the carriage turning and the reluctant neighing of the horses came from outside.

Lu Xiao walked behind the Lu family's men, she turned her head and glanced at the black-robed traveler again, who grinned at her, but Lu Xiao couldn't laugh, she just said lightly with her spring-like lips, "See you in Stone City." Her voice was so soft that Lu Xiao didn't know whether this sentence was for the other party or for herself.

The carriage rode through the rain, and it was not long before it was far away, and the sound could no longer be heard.

"Hero, you can let me go." The scarlet-clothed man's feet were already trembling, and he was only barely standing at the moment, "We have no grievances, don't do anything impulsive." ”

The traveler dragged the scarlet-clad boy to a nearby table, looked out at the inn door and muttered, "Don't worry, the rain hasn't stopped yet." ”

Of course, the traveler is not in a hurry when he has chips in his hand, but the boy in scarlet clothes is in a hurry, on the one hand, he is afraid that the other party will suddenly slash his neck, on the other hand, he drank too much wine, first excited and frightened, and the urine came up all of a sudden, and it was fortunate that he did not pee his pants on the spot and lost the face of the Yuwen family.

The scarlet-clothed boy begged: "Hero, go quickly, there are more than a dozen people in my family's Golden Snake Guard, and the leader is the deputy leader of the Golden Snake Guard, and his means are fierce and his kung fu is extremely high, no less than you, if you leave now, I will treat it as if nothing happened, our Yuwen family has always counted when they speak." ”

"Hmph, what the Yuwen family says counts?" The traveler turned his face coldly twice, his originally delicate and soft face suddenly became tough and cold, he looked at the son of the Yuwen family in front of him fiercely, and four words burst out of his mouth, "Let go of your fart." ”
