Chapter 44: Ambush on All Sides

In this world, Shen Lian still admires the paintings of Mr. Hokusai, a master of Danqing, just like in the movie.

And after learning that Mr. Hokusai is actually a woman named Zhou Miaoxuan, he subconsciously turned this appreciation of paintings into an admiration for Mr. Hokusai himself, which led to a plot similar to that of "Embroidered Spring Knife II: Shura Battlefield".

In the original film, Hokusai was put on the list of killed by Tosho for his satirical satire on current politics in his paintings.

Shen Lian and his colleague Ling Yunkai were ordered to carry out a mission and go to Hokusai's residence to kill Hokusai.

After discovering that Hokusai was a young and beautiful woman, Ling Yun Kai had a lustful heart and wanted to rape Hokusai, but was stopped by Shen Lian, Ling Yun Kai was keenly aware of the acquaintance of the two, so he wrote Shen Lian's accusation of secretly rebelling against the party in the book of impermanence, Shen Lian was suddenly shocked, and wanted to snatch the book of impermanence in Ling Yun Kai's hand, and the two fought at Hokusai's residence.

In the end, Shen Lian accidentally killed Ling Yun Kai, and Hokusai also took the opportunity to escape.

After that, Shen Lian faked the scene to cover up the fact that he killed his colleagues, but he was caught by Ding Baiying and others, and finally had to fall deeper and deeper, and completely became a chess piece in the hands of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

In this world, the plot has changed slightly, but overall not much.

Shen Lian still likes Hokusai, and Hokusai is also the confidant of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.

It's just that the person who came forward to threaten Shen Lian has changed from the original Ding Baiying to the traverser Zhao Lihe.

The follow-up plot is not much different from the movie, at most, the plan has become smoother, without those accidents and coincidences, everything is going smoothly according to Zhao Lihe's plan.

It wasn't until Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, sat on the throne and turned his face to take Zhao Lihe that the fate of the main characters in the play changed.

One of the most important things for Shen Lian was the change in Hokusai's fate.

In the original play, in the face of the pursuit of officers and soldiers, Shen Lian cut the drawbridge and let Hokusai escape alone, while he stayed behind and fought to the death with Lu Wenzhao, Ding Baiying and others to stop the pursuing officers and soldiers.

But in this world, Hokusai did not escape, but fell off a cliff with several officers and soldiers.

Therefore, compared with Shen Lian in the original play, Shen Lian in this world is more guilty and more painful.

Facing Zhou Miaotong, the sister of Mr. Hokusai Zhou Miaoxuan, he does not have the love between men and women in the original play, but only the guilt of the Zhou family sisters, and a kind of compensatory psychology for Zhou Miaotong because he failed to save Zhou Miaoxuan.

Looking at the face in front of him, which was similar to Hokusai, Shen Lian was a little distracted.

When he came back to his senses, Shen Lian suddenly said softly: "Miaotong, when I have saved enough money, I will redeem you." ”

Zhou Miaotong was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Shen Ye, just your little money, redeem me?" ”

Zhou Miaotong shook his head a little funny, stood up, turned his back to Shen Lian and whispered: "Besides, this is the Teaching Workshop Division, and no one can get out without the documents of the Criminal Department......

"I can get out." Shen Lian suddenly said softly, "I have already entrusted the relationship, and I ask Lord Chen of the Criminal Department to add your name to the list of the Amnesty Sect Division." ”

“……”

Zhou Miaotong was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian got up silently, glanced at Zhou Miaotong, who wanted to stop talking, and then turned to leave.

At this moment, Shen Lian paused, turned his head sharply and looked at the wall, as if he had found something abnormal.

Zhou Miaotong was stunned when she saw this: "How do you ......?"

"Shh

Shen Lian rudely interrupted Zhou Miaotong's words and silenced her, then walked a few quick steps, put his ear against the wall, and quietly listened to the voice next door for a while, then turned around and pulled Zhou Miaotong and whispered in her ear.

"The girl you said Hanyu, do you like to pick up two guests at a time?"

“…… How can it be! ”

Zhou Miaotong frowned slightly, and said softly: "Sister Hanyu is a new girl from the Jiaofang Division, twelve years old, a virgin, before tonight, she was a Qing man who did not sell her body, but there was an official who took a fancy to her and spent a lot of money to order flower tea, so she said that her mother asked her to comb and pick up customers tonight." ”

"I see."

Shen Lian nodded thoughtfully.

According to this statement, there should be only two people in Miss Hanyu's boudoir.

So why did he hear the breath of three people?

Shen Lian's face was silent, but in fact, he was secretly alert, and his right hand quietly pressed the handle of the knife on his waist.

At the same time, the soothing sound of the piano next door suddenly became impassioned.

The tranquil and elegant meaning in the music instantly transformed into the sound of the golden iron horse.

Zhou Miaotong couldn't help but be surprised: "How did you change from "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" to "Ambush on All Sides"? ”

Shen Lian was stunned when he heard this, then his face sank, and he quickly pushed the door out.

Zhou Miaotong stood in place and listened carefully for a while, and couldn't help but admire: "Sister Hanyu is so capable!" ”

"Bang-"

Shen Lian kicked open the door next door, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw a young girl wearing a lilac dress dancing in the room.

In front of the girl, a tall and handsome man in a green shirt sat upright behind the desk, caressing the piano elegantly, and his fingers seemed to play this impassioned and sharp music slowly.

In the corner behind him, there was also a fat official in disheveled clothes, tied up with a red strip of cloth in his mouth, whining and screaming with horror on his face.

Seeing Shen Lian break into the room, the girl's movements froze, and she hid behind the screen with an exclamation.

The man in the green shirt had a warm smile on his face, and while playing the piano, he looked at Shen Lian.

As for the fat man who was tied up with five flowers, he increased his whining and shouted, looking at the savior who broke into the room with a hopeful face.

Such a strange and harmonious scene made Shen Lian's hair stand on end, and he couldn't help but pull out the embroidered spring knife engraved with cloud patterns.

Seeing Shen Lian draw his sword and face each other, the man in the green shirt sighed, smoothed the strings with both hands, and the impassioned sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

"Lord Shen, don't be anxious, I'll talk to you after I finish playing this song."

After speaking, the man in the green shirt plucked the strings again, and played music as if no one was around.

Shen Lian's face was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on the face of the man in the green shirt, as well as the white fingers on the strings.

"Are you the White Bone Demon Hand, Fu Qingyun?"

“……”

Lin Zhongtian's face darkened, he snorted lightly, and his right index finger was slightly forced.

Listening to the sound of Zheng, the strings cracked, turning into a streamer and shooting towards Shen Lian.

Shen Lian only felt a flash of white light in front of him, and subconsciously turned his head, and the string instantly brushed his cheek, like a sharp arrow sinking straight into the wooden wall behind him.

The strings are divided into three points.

A hint of pain came from his cheeks.

Shen Lian stretched out his hand and touched it, his heart was awe-inspiring.

It was just a string that actually cut through his cheek and pierced the wall in an instant.

If he hadn't been able to dodge this kind of power, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot at this moment!

Shen Lian didn't dare to be careless, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Lin Zhongtian with an embroidered spring knife.

Lin Zhongtian sneered, and his bone-white right hand turned into a white shadow, plucking out all the remaining strings on the piano.

"Woooo

In an instant, the Dao streamer pierced the air in the room and shot towards Shen Lian like lightning.

Shen Lian had expected it, and kicked on the wooden bench in front of him.

The long bench rolled forward and blocked Shen Lian's body.

"Tuk-tuk-"

The sound of a series of strings sinking into the wooden bench sounded, and most of the strings that shot at the vital point were stopped, and only a small part of the strings passed through the gap in the tumbling bench and sank into Shen Lian's limbs.

Shen Lian snorted, his body stiffened, and there was a faint tingling pain all over his limbs.

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, and plucked the last string in the harsh sound of the piano.

In an instant, the streamer swung out like a match, slashing the stool that was tumbling in mid-air in half, and then slashed towards Shen Lian unabated.

Shen Lian was shocked, gritted his teeth, held the knife in both hands, and slashed at the white light.

"Whew-"

Gold and iron clashed, and the sharp embroidered spring knife cut the strings into two sections.

The broken strings shot out from both sides of the blade like crossbow arrows, one piercing Shen Lian's shoulder, and the other grazing his ear and sinking into the wooden wall behind him.

"Tick-"

Dark red blood ran down his earlobes and dripped onto his shoulders.

Shen Lian's expression was solemn, holding the knife in both hands, and the tip of the knife was aimed at Lin Zhongtian in front of him.

The person in front of him was a powerful opponent he had never encountered in his life, and he definitely couldn't tolerate the slightest carelessness!
