Chapter 4: Attacked
A small courtyard somewhere in the Night Shine Palace.
It is said that this place was originally the residence of a favorite concubine of the first emperor, but it is a pity that the concubine was unlucky, and she fell ill at a young age, and died with a whimper, and then no one moved in, and it was abandoned for more than ten years.
Wen Chen lay on the rattan chair with Erlang's legs crossed, boredly counting the stars in the sky.
"I'm going to- what's the use of this iron rod?! I'm going to- how is this change ......"
After the little emperor promised to spare his life that day, he did not take him with him as he imagined, but sent someone to take him to this place where birds don't poop and put him under house arrest.
In the past half a month, except for every morning, noon and evening, there are officials who deliver meals to the door of the small courtyard, and at other times, there is not even a ghost shadow.
"Little won't forget me, will they? Are emperors so unkind? Anyway, I'm also her first man......" Wen Chen muttered to himself.
Bang Bang –
In the silent courtyard, there was a sudden sound of tree branches breaking, and Wen Chen, who was lying on a rattan chair leisurely a moment ago, jumped up violently, cautiously looking at the darkness not far behind him.
"Who? Come out! ”
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"Stinky boy is alert......
A man in black, who was not tall and of medium size, covered his face with a black scarf, slowly walked out of the darkness, holding a long and shiny knife in his hand.
Wen Chen frowned, his voice was sharp, and he was very recognizable, and he was also a eunuch?!
Look at the blade in his hand again, and the standing posture that does not show flaws......
Hiss - the comer is not good......
Could it be that the news of his killing of Wei Cheng leaked out, and his accomplices came to take revenge on him?
Or perhaps, the little emperor changed his mind and wanted to experience the life of the surviving people, and wanted to kill himself?
Thinking of this, Wen Chen's face gradually darkened.
But the man in black was strolling leisurely, obviously not taking him seriously, and the long knife was flipped back and forth in his hand, as if he was showing off his skills.
Years of special forces career has made Wen Chen understand that the two sides are facing each other, and only those who seize the opportunity can have a greater chance of winning!
Before the other party could make a move, Wen Chen was the first to attack!
I saw him run a few steps, but in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the man in black, and his right arm instantly reached out and grabbed the hand of the man in black holding the knife, it seemed that he was about to grab the knife!
A hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the man in black, his fingers moved slightly, the long knife in his palm shook a knife flower, his shoulders sank, he dodged Wen Chen's big hand, and the tip of the knife stabbed the opponent's lower abdomen.
Seeing this, the corners of Wen Chen's mouth hooked, his footsteps moved slightly, his body stopped abruptly from the sprinting state, his right foot turned to the left as the central axis, the tip of the knife pressed against the skin and passed through the clothes, the hand that originally grabbed the knife suddenly changed his move, and his elbow was propped up just against the throat that the man in black was up!
In the past, grabbing the knife was just a feint, but now elbowing is a killer move!
Under such a hand-to-hand fight, the man in black didn't expect that the other party would have already calculated his own path, and if he was strong this time, he was afraid that he would lose his ability to act on the spot!
Attaboy! Underestimate you!
But now the distance is too close, and he can't dodge, and at the last moment, the man in black had to choose to avoid the vital point, and the soles of his feet forced his body to rise by three inches, and Wen Chen's elbow tip hit him hard in the middle of his chest!
With a bang, the man in black took a few steps back, pulled away from Wen Chen, and covered his chest with one hand and gasped.
"Stinky boy, what a vicious move, you will take our family's life when you come up!"
Wen Chen looked at the shirt that had been cut open by the long knife, and his expression became more and more cautious.
This eunuch is also a practitioner, he makes a sharp move, makes decisive judgments, and can quickly make a decision with the least loss in the situation just now, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a master!
"Who are you Wei Cheng?"
When the man in black heard this, he sneered and said sharply, "You don't need to know this, tell our family if His Majesty instructed you to kill Duke Wei, if you confess honestly, our family can consider letting you live!" ”
Wen Chen narrowed his eyes, in this way, this person was not sent by the Little Emperor, so it should be someone from Wei Cheng's faction.
What a boldness, killing people in the palace!
However, a stone in Wen Chen's heart also landed, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about!" ”
immediately put on a posture and stared at each other.
"Stinky boy, is it worth putting your life into it for an irrelevant person?" The man in black squinted.
"Then don't care, I don't know if you keep my whole corpse, but if the master wins, your whole corpse won't be able to stay!" Wen Chen teased as he stared mockingly at the man in black's lower body.
"With sharp teeth and sharp mouth, dare to be hard when you die!"
The man in black shouted angrily and raised his knife!
The two of them instantly fought, but this time the man in black obviously learned the previous lesson, and never gave Wen Chen a chance to get close, using the long blade in his hand to deliberately widen the distance, the knife technique was as strange and elusive as a poisonous snake, and he wandered between Wen Chen's various key points.
Although Wen Chen found that the other party had changed his strategy, he was helpless for a while, as the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, and he only hates that he can't take out the place where he grows now......
The figures are staggered, the two of them come and go, and the moves continue.
One is pressing with a knife step by step, the other is carefully dodging with a fist, the two have very different routines, the man in black shows his superb knife skills, his body shape changes, and the knife is like a ghost, forcing the opponent to have no time to care about other things.
Wen Chen's movements are extremely concise, although the moves don't look as good as the man in black, but they are practical, using elbows and knees to take the key points, without a trace of superfluous movements.
I think that before Wen Chen was discharged from the army, in terms of fighting skills, he was also a first-class player in the team, but now when he meets a man in black who is also outstanding, and there is a sharp blade blessing, the more he fights, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
This old eunuch is not only skilled, but also has a clear mind, knowing that it is difficult to deal with by his own closeness, so he directly does not give himself a chance to get close, and makes the blade superb, leaving no flaws at all!
And the man in black showed a touch of pride in his eyes at this time, the long knife was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and every time he stabbed it, it left an inch-long bloody wound on Wen Chen's body, but he didn't kill him, like a cat that grabbed a mouse, wantonly playing with his prey!
It didn't take long for Wen Chen to be scarred, and he was forced to the corner of the yard, and there was no way to retreat!
"It's not the way to go on like this!"
Beads of sweat oozed from Wen Chen's forehead, he had completely fallen into the disadvantage, and he had to find a way to break the game quickly!
He didn't want to be like Wei Cheng, who was inexplicably killed in this deep palace compound, and then thrown into the well, without even having a person to collect the body.
Looking at the playful eyes of the man in black, Wen Chen's expression suddenly turned ruthless, and he slammed into the knife that stabbed him in the shoulder!
Even if you are fighting to get hurt, you have to find a chance to get close!
Seeing that Wen Chen did not retreat but advanced, he actually stuck to the tip of the knife, a touch of shock flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and for some reason, he hurriedly closed the momentum, and the long knife was crooked, and he stabbed Wen Chen's shoulder in the air!
Wen Chen was stunned, but he didn't miss this good opportunity, he took advantage of the situation and directly threw the man in black to the ground, using his tall figure to suppress the other party, his elbow against the opponent's throat, and one knee was firmly fixed on the lower abdomen of the man in black, controlling his legs.
The tide of battle turned in an instant!
But Wen Chen did not directly cut off the other party's life like he had killed Wei Cheng at the beginning, but frowned, ripped off the black scarf on the other party's face, and looked at this old eunuch with a wrinkled face but a stubborn expression and asked in a deep voice, "Who asked you to come?" ”
The old eunuch snorted and turned his head to the side, "If you kill our relatives and friends, our family will naturally take your life!" ”
"Nonsense, the advantage of the long knife is to chop, and you have been fighting the enemy with the tip of the knife, which is simply releasing water, just now I broke the cauldron and sunk the boat to meet the knife, you even did not hesitate to show the flaws, deliberately stabbed crookedly, it is clear that someone does not allow you to hurt me!"
Before, Wen Chen thought that the old eunuch had the upper hand but did not kill him, he was deliberately abusing himself, and it was not until the last time that he was completely sure that the person in front of him was indeed merciful!
The old eunuch was surprised, he didn't expect this kid to observe so slightly, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely attribute the reason to his own excellence, and few people still had such a clear idea at this time.
But he still closed his lips and teeth tightly, didn't say a word, and had the posture of being tough with Wen Chen to the end.
"If you don't say it, I'll strip you naked, hang you up and hang you at the gate of the Yezhao Palace, so that everyone who comes and goes can see what kind of goods you old thing is!" Wen Chen threatened.
"Stinky boy, you dare?!" The old eunuch glared angrily.
"Do you think I dare, Lao Tzu is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, what is there to worry about?" Wen Chen was not to be outdone.
The person who sent the old eunuch was definitely not the little emperor, if she still wanted to test herself, there was no need to go to such great lengths, and there was no need to wait until this time to do it.
And the motives of people who need to do it to themselves, but are unwilling to kill themselves, really can't figure it out, and this matter must be asked!
Just as the two were at a stalemate, the gate of the small courtyard suddenly "squeaked", and a chubby figure strode in.
A red brocade dress is particularly conspicuous, with a kind smile on his chubby face, two small eyes narrowed into a slit, and although his hair is gray, there are almost no wrinkles on his face due to proper maintenance.
"Look at this good yard, you have made a mess, Wen Chen, let go of your Master Qiu!"
The fat old man spoke softly and gently, but in his ears, he gave people a feeling that could not be refused.
