Chapter 7: Assault on the Street
"I ...... He practiced martial arts at the age of seven, won the centurion in the army at the age of ten, defeated Yi Qingchen, the first master of Kyoto at the age of fifteen, and challenged martial arts at the age of eighteen, and now has won eight games, and the opponents are all famous figures for a long time. But I don't want to...... Today is such a defeat. β
"So...... Vulnerable. β
The divine light in the assassin's eyes was full of disappointment, and he sighed: "I can't go through your ten moves, and you are invincible when you think about coming to this world, it is indeed a disappointment." β
Li Yunshui looked at this person, his eyes were full of pity, and he didn't even want to say a word.
This look in the eyes of the assassin only felt extremely ironic. But at the same time, he couldn't help but be aroused with pride: "However, don't worry, within five years, I will defeat you!" β
Li Yunshui shook his head and sighed faintly: "You don't understand my disappointment, within five years...... You can't win me either. β
"Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, today's battle seems to be endless." Seeing that Li Yunshui was so big and despised himself so much, the man grabbed the broken sword on the ground and was about to get up and fight again.
Li Yunshui stared at the person in front of him, and was even more sympathetic: "Don't die? You don't have that qualification yet. β
"Do you think that all those you have won have been defeated by your sword?"
"No, no, no! Xiao Jixue of King Shen's Mansion, Xiao Jixue, the son of the world...... Just by raising the three words of King Shen's Mansion, you won't lose, not to mention that you are still the only son of King Shen. What's more, your surname is Xiao, as long as Suyang is still Suyang, and Xiao's surname is still royalty, as long as you are still surnamed Xiao in this world, you will not be defeated. β
"Your so-called centurion, the first sword in Kyoto, Yi Qingchen, and even the eight major schools of martial arts, can be said to be outstanding in force, and there are not many masters. And you, with a disordered breath and weak swordsmanship, may be comparable to your ten-year-old centurion, and if you talk about killing, you may not be as good as that centurion. β
"They are afraid of King Shen behind you, and they are afraid of the royal family represented by King Shen, that's all."
Li Yunshui looked up to the sky and sighed: "Even the well-known eight major sects of martial arts are like this. β
"I'm disappointed, and that's why the rivers and lakes talk about heroes with martial arts, but they are in awe of the royal family that has nothing to do with them, and they don't even dare to shoot real swords and guns, how can they not be disappointed?"
Xiao Jixue was stunned when she heard this, and she was speechless for a while.
The centurion back then, although he was defeated at that time, was immediately given a thousand commanders by himself, anyway, his father King Shen was in charge of military affairs. And the first sword in Kyoto, Yi Qingchen, had a very close relationship with his father.
As for the Eight Great Sects of Martial Arts, even if the sword was eyeless, his hands were heavier, he injured a few people, and even killed a few people, but they didn't dare to say a word, but politely sent himself down the mountain.
What doesn't this mean? It's just that why didn't I understand? Or is it only now understood?
After Li Yunshui finished speaking, he felt that it was really boring, and turned around and left.
"Then why don't you pretend and let me?" Xiao Jixue roared for no reason.
"Me? I have no desire or desire for you. β
The categorical voice echoed in the forest for a long time, and Li Yunshui had already walked away.
The economy in Jiangnan is prosperous, and those wealthy families have a lot of silver for their children to study, and they also want to pass the imperial examination and turn from businessmen to scholars. Therefore, literature naturally rises and rises, and the limelight is not the same for a while.
Those rich children are elegant, and their daughters are like a drop in the bucket, so they built this flower garden, where you can eat, drink and play, and occasionally hold literary and poetry meetings to make a name for yourself.
Nowadays, the Flower Garden is overcrowded, whether it is officials and celebrities, wealthy businessmen, or peddlers, pawns, and carts and pulp, they are all gathered tightly in front at this moment, and they are all unable to get through for a while.
In this way, the streets outside are empty.
On the empty street, there was a teahouse, with a parasol at the door and bamboo tables and chairs underneath. At this time, Li Yunshui sat there leisurely, shaking a pu fan in his left hand and holding a cup of tea in his right hand, looking at the crowded crowd opposite with interest.
A middle-aged man dressed in satin, with a few subordinates, leisurely walked around outside, and said with emotion: "Buddhism is the state religion of Suyang, and the people support it, which can be regarded as a grand occasion. β
"It's all ...... Mr. Shang Buddha, gave them sufficient status and respect, such a landscape, the four hundred and eighty temples of Suyang, should go to Kyoto to congratulate! A thin old man beside the gentleman bent over and flattered.
"You old thing, you've really become a fine!"
The middle-aged man scolded with a smile, and suddenly he glanced at it and saw a young man sitting in a street shop, and his posture was really quite leisurely. So, he walked up.
"Little brother, Master Zhujie talks about Zen, everyone is rushing to it, and I can't wait to sit at the front, you are good, where no one sits, why is this?" The middle-aged man bent down and looked at Li Yunshui with interest.
"Hehe, do you think you can still squeeze in at this time?" Li Yunshui smiled faintly.
"Well, that's true." The middle-aged man nodded: "It seems that I can't find a seat either, does the little brother mind if I sit here?" β
Li Yunshui stretched out his hand and gestured: "Please take a seat." β
The middle-aged man was also polite and walked over. The thin old man hurriedly stepped forward, pulled a chair, went to the back room and asked the shopkeeper for a cup of tea, put it on the table in a proper manner, and then stood quietly behind the middle-aged man.
At this time, the Zen Sutra of Zhujie also began to be spoken, and there were bursts of exclamation and applause from the crowd.
"Little brother, what do you think of this scripture?" The middle-aged man smacked the tea and turned his head to ask Li Yunshui.
"Brother Tai, you just look down on me." Li Yunshui put down the teacup and said with a smile: "My Zen Sutra is no different from the wind than the horse and the ox, not related, not related." β
The middle-aged man smiled: "I thought it was really not good." β
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. β
"Zen Sutra, in the final analysis, is actually the way of man. Everyone flocks to it, probably hoping to find a path that suits them, or to feel a little comfort, which is the essence of Zen sutras. In fact, it is no different from the book of the sages, it is just to persuade people to obey the destiny of heaven and settle for fate. β
The middle-aged man spoke eloquently, took another sip of tea, and continued: "Monk Zhujie is too young, he has studied Buddhist scriptures in the temple since he was a child, and he may indeed be good if he wants to explain righteousness, commentary, etc. β
"However, when it comes to life, he is actually very barren. There have never been ups and downs, there have never been successes or failures, or in other words, the four tastes of sweet and sour have never been known, so how can we talk about life? β
"Therefore, I think that if the monk Zhujie has gone through some experience, or bitter, sweet, or sweet, if he can still keep the Buddha's heart unchanged, live himself thoroughly, live and understand, or he can achieve the name of a high monk."
"However, now he is still too immature, but he is just reading from the book, and it is difficult to have any high opinions."
"Even finding a coolie to speak some vernacular is more flavorful than what Takejie said."
Li Yunshui was taken aback by the truth of these remarks, and he had to sigh that the person in front of him had broad knowledge and that his analysis was indeed reasonable, so he couldn't help but look serious and agreed: "Sir, this is indeed the case." β
At this moment, a "The Emperor has arrived" sounded, and a group of officers and soldiers riding tall horses appeared on the street, tightly hugging an eight-horse horse-drawn emperor in the middle, followed by holding a sign of "avoidance" and "silence", as well as countless palace maids and maids, and dragging the officers and soldiers who could not see the end all the way in the distance.
All of a sudden, the canopy gathered, and with the people present kneeling and shouting long live the mountain with all the brushes, the scene suddenly quieted down.
Subsequently, Wang Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yin Luo Weiping of Jiangnan Mansion, Jiang Caiyu, the manager of Jiangnan Weaving Mansion, and other officials stepped forward one after another and knelt in front of the dragon.
Zhu Xie had already knelt down, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and quietly looked up, but he had only seen Luo Weiping, who was Wang Zhi and who was Jiang Caiyu, and he couldn't tell the difference, so he had to secretly pinch the double tiger Yao Ripei.
A small servant dressed as a eunuch stepped forward, lifted the corner of the dragon, and slowly walked out of one person.
The man was dressed in a Kowloon yellow robe and wore a tassel on his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
This is normal, the face of the heavenly family, where is it like ordinary people, etc.? Invisible is common sense.
The emperor, supported by the eunuchs, was about to come down.
However, a shocking change occurred.
The sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" sounded, and a dense array of arrows shot at the dragon.
"Escort!" "There are assassins!" The sound is endless.
For a moment, the scene fell into chaos at the same time as the exclamation and panic.
Suddenly, an even more urgent cry sounded, followed by a burst of blood mistβthe Emperor was shot and fell.
"Dog Emperor, today you finally got the Yellow Spring, Your Highness...... You can smile! A bearded man with a big knife in his hand was so excited when he saw that the emperor had been hit by an arrow.
He jumped to the center and shouted: "Jiang Caiyu, you traitor, see if I don't cut you with one sword?" β
The direction of the knife is undoubtedly Jiang Caiyu.
This Jiang Caiyu is extremely well maintained, although he is not confused by the age, but he has a well-proportioned figure, and on that white face, there are only a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a pair of eyes are bright, where is there a little bit of middle-aged and elderly look?
It's just that he didn't have any martial arts, and when he heard that sound suddenly, the big man seemed to know him, and even like an old acquaintance who hadn't seen him for many years, and he was stunned for a while.
But there is one person who is different, and his heart is like turning over the river and the sea, and that person is Zhujie.
As soon as he heard the three words "Jiang Caiyu", he became nervous, his hands shook unconsciously, and a black thing was thrown out, shaking the big man back three steps, the jade pendant was of excellent texture, and it fell to the ground again, but it was not broken.
"Who dares to stop ......" Before he finished shouting, Dahan saw the jade pendant on the ground, and when he landed like five thunderbolts, he was stunned.
At this time, Jiang Caiyu also followed the divine light of the big man and looked at the jade pendant on the ground, and he was also taken aback and stunned.
It's just that the scene is urgent and noisy, and no one notices that the three of them are different.
It wasn't until an officer and soldier stepped forward and stabbed the big man in the shoulder blade, and under the pain, he screamed violently, raised his knife and slashed at the comer, relieving the current siege.
He didn't care about killing Jiang Caiyu at this time, he just cut it indiscriminately, bowed down and picked up the jade pendant, and involuntarily turned his head to look at the person who threw the jade pendant - Zhu Jie.
Zhu Xie didn't notice the big man's gaze, but he looked at Jiang Caiyu, and the concerned and anxious eyes made Zhu Xie roughly sure in his heart, this person ...... It must be...... Undoubtedly.
"Be careful!" This voice was not shouted by one person, but two people, one was Zhu Xie and the other was Jiang Caiyu.
Actually, there is no need to be careful at this time. Although the scene was still chaotic, I don't know where more officers and soldiers poured out, surrounding the Flower Garden, and those who released cold arrows had almost been caught at this time.
Seeing this, the big man's face seemed to be very heavy, he no longer fell in love with the war, turned over and jumped, his two knives flew, he fought his way out of the encirclement, turned back three times in one step, seemed to be reluctant to give up, and gradually disappeared on the corner of the street, leaving only a bloodstain all the way.
Afterwards, a centurion followed with a small group of officers and soldiers.
Except for Jiang Caiyu, who has no master of the six gods, Wang Zhi and Luo Weiping were not injured, but they were already sweating profusely on their foreheads, and they hurriedly ran to the dragon before the emperor, and the emperor fell on the little eunuch, but the little eunuch was hit by several arrows and was already out of breath.
However, a father-in-law next to him, who looked a little older, was calm and relaxed, and said, "Lord Luo, clean it up!" β
"Your Majesty, you haven't shown up, you can rest assured."
At this time, Jiang Caiyu also came to his senses, and immediately understood the reason, and couldn't help but feel relieved, but he was tight: "Your Majesty...... is still the emperor, he is really eloquent, and he has to be admired. β
Although this chaos has calmed down, the scene is indeed chaotic and bloody, Jiang Caiyu turned around, glanced at Zhu Xie heavily, and followed the dragon away.
Zhu Xie stood up and looked at Jiang Caiyu's back in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The courage of the Torch Sect is inevitably too great." Looking at this farce, Li Yunshui sighed.
The middle-aged man next to him stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sighed: "Where is this torch sect...... Hum! β
"Could it be that it's not a torch sect?" Li Yunshui asked in surprise.
The middle-aged man sneered: "It's just a remnant, it's just a remnant!" β
Li Yunshui was silent, how did he know about this?
The middle-aged man was calm for a long time, turned around, and looked at Li Yunshui with a smile, but his tone was a little gloomy: "Just now the emperor arrived, I saw everyone kneeling, but I saw that you always looked the same, and did not move, could it be that you ......"
