Chapter 22: A Conspiracy to Rob the Prison
After all, the bun shop is a narrow place, which is not conducive to the play of Miao Dao.
Therefore, the first thing Ding Xiu had to do was to force Lin Zhongtian out and fight against him on a more open battlefield.
And the moves he used were the left and right anti-thief styles of the "Xinyou Knife Method", also known as the left defense style and the right defense style.
This move swings the arc of the knife can be large or small, and it can be attacked and defended at the same time, which is suitable for many combat scenarios.
When he came to the street outside the bun shop, Ding Xiu finally got enough space to show his life, so he changed his pace and held the slender Miao knife in front of him, holding it in one hand and holding it in the other hand, and the tip of the knife was aimed at Lin Zhongtian in front of him.
Seeing the familiar posture in his memory, a smile appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face.
"Ding Xiu, you are really strong."
ββ¦β¦ Do you know my name? β
Ding Xiu frowned, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
Although he boasted of his martial arts, in terms of name, he was far less prominent than the demon in front of him with blood on his hands.
How did the other party learn his name?
Lin Zhongtian pulled out the long sword on his waist, and just when he wanted to say something with a smile, his expression suddenly moved, and he stabbed behind him with a backhand sword.
The tip of the sword sliced through the air, sending a screech.
Jin Yichuan, who was hiding in the shadows, shrank his pupils, and hurriedly blocked the two knives in his hands alternately in front of him.
"Qiangβ"
A crisp clash of gold and iron sounded, and a tremendous force came from the tip of the sword.
Jin Yichuan only felt that his hands were numb and couldn't parry, so he couldn't help but retreat again and again, and at the same time, the double knives in his hands unconsciously bounced twice, revealing the unguarded chest and abdomen in the middle.
Lin Zhongtian was unforgiving, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and the tip of the sword stabbed Jin Yichuan's chest with a sound of breaking the air.
Seeing that Jin Yichuan was about to be pierced through the heart by the long sword, Ding Xiu glared angrily at his junior brother, who was overwhelmed, and then shouted, changed his grip, raised the knife in both hands above his head, and slashed at Lin Zhongtian's back.
In this regard, Lin Zhongtian had already expected that the sword that stabbed at Jin Yichuan was just a false move.
When Ding Xiu slashed with the knife, Lin Zhongtian dodged and retreated, and at the same time put the long sword behind him, and the spine of the sword brushed the blade.
Then Lin Zhongtian turned his hips, the sword body was close to the blade, and he turned to the front of him from behind, and at the same time pressed down, using the power of Ding Xiu's slash to make it slash on the ground.
With a slash in the air, Ding Xiu was suddenly startled and couldn't help blurting out.
"Xin You Sword Technique, you are also a descendant of the Qi family's army?"
"Nature is not ......"
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, and before he finished speaking, a cloth shoe with dirt standing on the sole of his foot appeared in front of him.
Lin Zhongtian naturally didn't want to be covered in his face by the cloth shoes, so he swung his sword and slapped the cloth shoes away, and after defusing the attack, he floated and retreated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Xiu stood up with his knife, took the same posture again, and aimed the tip of the knife at Lin Zhongtian with a solemn expression.
At the same time, Jin Yichuan next to him also eased up, holding the two knives in his hands with one hand and the other back, putting on an offensive posture, pacing slowly behind Lin Zhongtian, waiting for an opportunity to find his flaws.
The corners of Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and he arched his hand towards Ding Xiu, who was barefoot in front of him.
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, Fu has been taught."
The corners of Ding Xiu's mouth hooked, but he didn't reply.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at the moon in the sky, thought about it, and suddenly arched his hand: "It's getting late, Fu Mou is a little tired, so I won't bother anymore, and I'll come back to ask you two for advice another day!" β
After speaking, Lin Zhongtian returned the sword to the sheath, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared from the field of vision of the two of them after a few ups and downs.
Jin Yichuan's eyes widened, looking at the roof where Lin Zhongtian disappeared, and couldn't help but say.
"What kind of light skill is this?"
"Probably just a lot of strength......"
Ding Xiu stared at the broken stone brick under his feet, and said with a strange expression.
Jin Yichuan didn't notice these details, and when he heard Senior Brother Ding Xiu's words, he couldn't help but recall the sword just now, so he nodded, and sighed with palpitations: "This guy's strength is indeed very great-hey, no, Senior Brother, who is this person?" β
Ding Xiu glanced at him, and said slowly and methodically while returning the Miao knife to the sheath.
"White Bone Demon Hand, Fu Qingyun."
"It turned out to be him!"
Jin Yichuan was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the direction where Lin Zhongtian disappeared again.
Putting away the long knife, Ding Xiu put the knife on his shoulder again, and just wanted to turn around and walk into the bun shop, he suddenly turned his head as if he remembered something, looked at Jin Yichuan and said: "Oh yes, Yichuan, Fu Qingyun doesn't seem to like the nickname of the White Bone Demon Hand, if you encounter it on an errand next time, remember to call him Fu Qingyun, otherwise I'm afraid that he will have a grudge and be the first to kill you." β
Although it was a warning, Ding Xiu's tone was still so careless and careless.
Jin Yichuan had long been accustomed to his senior brother's attitude, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly.
"I don't think he'll like the name either."
ββ¦β¦ Oh? Ding Xiu paused, turned around again, and asked with interest, "Listening to what you say, it seems that you know a lot of information about this guy, let's hear it?" β
Jin Yichuan smiled, and just wanted to speak, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough a few times.
Ding Xiu frowned and stretched out a hand, wanting to pat him on the back.
Jin Yichuan stretched out his hand to block Ding Xiu, rejected the clumsy kindness of his senior brother, and after relenting, he said: "It's not a big deal, you are in such a hurry to call me over tonight, let's talk about your information first!" β
"It's fine."
Ding Xiu nodded, and said in a low voice: "The organization has already gathered more than 20 good players, and it is tentatively scheduled to arrive in the capital in fifteen days. β
"Fifteen days later?"
Jin Yichuan calculated in his heart and shook his head: "No, it's too slow." β
Ding Xiu frowned: "It's already very fast, and if it is fast, the manpower will be reduced by at least half." β
Jin Yichuan said categorically: "Then reduce it by half!" β
Ding Xiu was a little puzzled: "No, I remember you said that the heavenly prison is not as big as the prison in the yamen, and the prisoners detained in it will not live for more than three months, and once the verdict is made, there will be no delay at all, and they will go directly to the execution ground on the same day." β
Jin Yichuan nodded: "That's what I said." β
Ding Xiu asked rhetorically, "Then how long has Brother Zhao been in?" β
Jin Yichuan replied: "It's been more than three months. β
Ding Xiu smiled: "Look, this shows that the emperor doesn't want to kill him yet, and the matter is not as serious as you think." β
Jin Yichuan shook his head: "The emperor didn't kill Brother Zhao because he didn't remember Brother Zhao, or rather, he didn't want to remember Brother Zhao, but once Brother Zhao's name appeared in front of his eyes again, what do you think he would do?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Ding Xiu's face was cloudy: "What do you mean?" β
Jin Yichuan nodded: "That's right, after seven days, the Criminal Department will hand over the list of people in the prison to the emperor for review, and at that time, Brother Zhao's name will inevitably appear on the list in the emperor's hand." β
"But even if this is the case, the emperor will not necessarily execute Brother Zhao immediately, right?"
"Senior brother, do you plan to tie Brother Zhao's life to that faint king's momentary joy and anger?"
Jin Yichuan retorted, then shook his head and said: "I don't want to bet, Brother Zhao once trusted that faint king, but what the result is, you have all seen it, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack, within seven days, gather all the people who can be summoned, and go to the prison with you and me." β
Ding Xiu's face changed, but he quickly made a decision.
"Okay, that's it!"
After speaking, Ding Xiu seemed to think of something again, and suddenly asked, "But ...... What about your two errand brothers? β
Jin Yichuan's face froze, and his eyes dimmed slightly, but then he regained his composure: "Don't worry, I have already discussed with Dr. Zhang, I will die of illness in front of them before I make a move, and I will never implicate the two of them." β
