Chapter 114: The Assassin
Zhang Xuruo walked out of the courtyard, but the conversation in the lobby continued.
Su Qingming didn't react to the old man's words and asked, "It seems that you are very disgusted with the so-called cultivators. ”
When he was young, he was praised as a Wenqu star, and the old man said lightly: "I hate those so-called cultivators who have no rules and no benevolence in their hearts, think they are high, and have no people's seven emotions and six desires. ”
Su Qingming smiled: "Such a coincidence, so am I." ”
The old man was slightly stunned, and then glanced at the young man in front of him seriously.
The reaction of the other party today was a little different from what he expected.
In his opinion, Su Qingming has been extremely talented since he was a child, and his cultivation path has been smooth sailing, not to mention that he has the most powerful sect in the world behind him as support, even if he doesn't show it on the outside, he will definitely have inevitable arrogance in his heart.
He was already ready to take advantage of this matter to polish the young man's sharpness a little, but at the moment, he didn't need it.
The old man was a little puzzled, and said: "The avenue is ruthless, too forgetful, aren't these words on your lips?" ”
Su Qingming was silent for a while, shook his head slightly, and muttered without knowing what he remembered: "Forgetfulness is not ruthless, ruthless and desireless people, very strong, but it will never be the strongest." ”
"The tone is not small, your goal is to be the first in the world?"
"No, it should be the first in the sky."
...
"How is the Tang Emperor?"
"Your Majesty is naturally Your Majesty, otherwise you wouldn't have let me live in the city for so many years."
"I have seen the third prince whom the emperor is said to be extremely favored."
"Which prince does Your Majesty value, and which prince does you love the most... It can be said that it is as unpredictable as the heavenly machine, and the word emperor heart art, you are still too tender. ”
Su Qingming saw the old man smiling freely, and did not shy away from it, he understood something in his heart, and nodded slightly.
"If Datang is really as you said in the future, I would be happy to see it and be willing to abide by it."
In a few words, a few words of small talk, he knew a lot of things, Su Qingming felt that the time was almost up, turned around and left, leaving such a sentence.
Fang Laoguo Gong looked at Su Qingming's back, changed his thoughts, and suddenly said: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, it is a matter that the old man pays attention to when he is young, if you can abide by it, the old man will naturally not fall behind." ”
The old man said lightly: "Although I don't know why you came to Chang'an City, about some disputes and grievances between your holy lands and even in Chang'an City, if someone breaks the rules in the future, you can come to me." ”
Su Qingming nodded and prepared to leave.
After all, the old man couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and asked, "Cultivation is very important, but very few people can really stop their hearts, didn't you feel half worried before you met me?" ”
Su Qingming replied: "I know you can't lock me up, so naturally I don't have anything to worry about." ”
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "The old man is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, if you really want to shut you down, can't you be shut down?" Are you so sure? ”
Su Qingming shook his head and said, "That Yulin Wei Commander was too anxious, and it was easy to guess. ”
That commander was naturally the leader of the Feather Forest Guard, Gehan.
The corners of Su Qingming's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled: "It seems that it is just one night, and Yu Linwei should have suffered great pressure. ”
"Gohan, this guy is too utilitarian, and his mentality has changed, and sooner or later a big problem will happen."
The old man was noncommittal, suddenly glanced at Su Qingming, and said interestingly: "But the pressure is indeed very high, I didn't expect that the Sword Sect did not come, but the palace and the academy put pressure on me, your background is a bit interesting." ”
Su Qingming raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
When I came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the hour was still very early, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the early morning breeze blew, with a real coolness.
Su Qingming walked on the secluded street, his expression calm, but he seemed to be thinking about something.
A thin man in a cloth robe walked over, bent down slightly, and said softly: "Su Qingming, the princess is invited." ”
Li Shu's girl?
Su Qingming nodded and said, "Let's go." ”
Su Qingming followed the little guy along a street to the west of the city, passing by a bridge deck, under which was a pool of turquoise water, bottomless.
This bridge is called Mingyue Bridge, and it is quite famous in the imperial capital regardless of the class, mortals come here to watch the scenery, and practitioners do it because they know more things.
Su Qing looked at a few peonies stained with mud on the bridge deck, thinking that he was really too lax these days and had made such a big mistake, so he stopped.
He had just figured out a question.
Li Shu called him into the palace as a princess, which sounded fine, but it didn't make sense when you thought about it carefully.
The little guy in front turned his head and looked at Su Qingming, smiling rather than smiling.
Su Qingming said: "As soon as you left the Prime Minister's Mansion, you were in a hurry to do it, it seems that the people behind you really want to blame them." ”
"The first lesson of my introduction to this line of work will teach a truth." The man's form began to change, and in a few moments he became a tall man.
"What's the truth?"
Su Qingming's eyebrows flashed, and Jing Qing's sword appeared in his hand, and a wisp of sword intent emanated.
The man grinned and said, "That's to talk less." ”
The wind around them instantly rushed and whistled into the two of them, and the peony on the riverside trembled rapidly, splitting into two halves in an instant.
The aura surged, and the sword light flashed in the air, and I saw the short blade in the middle-aged man's right hand sliding towards Su Qingming's neck.
Su Qingming stood on his toes and dodged sharply to the right, and the next moment, the man's right hand was released, and his left hand instantly took over the short blade in the air, and then his footsteps quickly reversed, and he continued to stab at Su Qingming without the slightest stagnation.
There was no way to avoid it, Su Qingming held the sword in front of his chest.
Bang!
The two blue lights collided fiercely.
The assassin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said sharply, "Break! ”
The surging aura suppressed Jing Qing's sword, and in less than a moment, the wooden sword bent into an extremely exaggerated arc.
Su Qingming took a step back, put away his sword, and then swung it.
The middle-aged assassin turned into a phantasm and disappeared in all directions.
There was a dead silence.
After a while, Su Qingming closed his eyes slightly, and the wooden sword in his hand shone brightly, stabbing straight towards the ground under his feet.
Bang!
A large crater suddenly exploded on the ground, and a black figure rose into the sky, just smashing into the tip of the wooden sword.
Two auras flowed wildly.
After a short stalemate, Su Qingming frowned slightly, and was about to withdraw his sword, when he slammed his fist into Su Qingming's chest, the latter flew out of the bridge upside down, and at the moment of smashing into the water, his body rolled over, and his toes lightly touched the surface of the water, standing on the surface of the lake like a dragonfly.
"Although the combat skills are good, I didn't expect the realm to be so low."
The mysterious assassin shook his head and sneered: "Sword Sect Su Qingming is nothing more than that, a genius who has not grown up is not a genius after all. ”
Su Qingming didn't speak, let alone show the slightest expression, just gently rubbed his chest.
It hurts a little.
These days, the aura in his body has become thinner and thinner, and even the Jindan realm is almost unstable, if in terms of combat power, he is now almost the same as the first two years of entering the Sword Sect, which is really pitiful.
It's just that he has never told anyone other than Su Mo about these things, and naturally he is not interested in explaining them to others at this moment.
Su Qingming's right foot moved, and the whole person floated into the distance again, widening the distance.
Seeing this scene, the mysterious assassin seemed to think that the overall situation had been decided, and a playful smile appeared on his face, and said, "Are you trying to delay waiting for others to come to the rescue?" ”
Su Qingming heard some other peculiar smells from his words and glanced at him.
The mysterious assassin spoke slowly and said with a smile: "It is strictly forbidden for cultivators to fight at will in the entire imperial capital, and there is also the location of the legendary human array, as long as there is any slightest disturbance in the city, it will be discovered, it can be said that the sky net is magnificent, and it is not revealed, but it's a pity..."
He looked at Su Qingming, like a fish on a board, and gloated: "This Mingyue Bridge is equivalent to the spring of the entire imperial capital within a radius of 100 zhang, and what's even more interesting is... This is equivalent to shielding the eyes of all the heavenly machines and the masters of the academy, in other words, this is the only underground mansion in the entire imperial capital that can kill you. ”
Su Qingming listened to him quietly, and glanced at the surrounding streets, it was already the hour of the downtown area, but it was strangely empty, and there was not even a trace of noise.
