Chapter 40: Fear (4)

When I stumbled upon the fortune teller, he seemed to see me, and our eyes did not meet directly, but we both knew each other's existence. I suppressed my excitement, but I wanted to confirm the identity of the other party. I pretended to turn my head unconsciously, and before I turned my head, I glanced at him again quickly, and he was still sitting there calmly, fiddling with bamboo sticks, and talking to the person in front of me who asked for advice. I remember he was blind and wore sunglasses, but now his eyes are bright. I believed in my eyes, absolutely not mistaken, I couldn't help but feel nervous and excited in my heart, and by grabbing him, I could figure out many things, including Xiang Chong's death.

That's him! I felt like I was not mistaken, and I felt like I was shaking. Excited, I hurriedly whispered to Ning Boyang: "Big brother, I have found the assassin!" Ning Boyang didn't seem to hear it, just stared at the background of Master Li's departure, and praised in his mouth: "The world's elegant people are probably like this, what a man with a backbone!" I hurriedly whispered it again, Ning Boyang came to his senses, I repeated it again, his eyes were bright, he grabbed me, and said, "Second brother, you are not mistaken, is it him?" I nodded and said, "It's him, catch him, maybe you can avenge Xiang Chong!" "Where is he?" His voice was a little high, "Be quiet, he's nearby!" We passed. ”

Ning Boyang still grabbed my arm, and it was very hard, I looked at him in wonder, and he said, "Can we do it?" "Why not?" When I looked up again, I saw the fortune teller pretending to be calm and began to pack his things, and hurriedly said: "What's going on, the three of us are on it together, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch him?!" Ning Boyang hurriedly said: "We don't have weapons, we may not be his opponent, it is better to follow him quietly, and then report to the Zhenfu Division!" ”

I nodded, this is also a good idea, but the fortune teller hurried out, and it was too late for us to report the news, so I hurriedly said: "It's too late, he found me, let's go, let's catch up." As he spoke, he shook off Ning Boyang's hand and squeezed out of the crowd, Ning Boyang and Hardy also followed me, and the fortune teller found that we followed and walked very fast, but it was always in my eyes, just like that, he walked through the streets and alleys, turned a few corners, and we also followed him for three or five miles, and gradually went out of the inner city and ran to the outer city, we never kept up with him.

Fortunately, the fortune teller has been in front, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, I followed smoothly, Ning Boyang's physical strength was unbearable, he looked around, and said: "There is a river temple in front, it is a dead end, in this way, there is a Shuntianfu yamen nearby, I will go to Shuntianfu to report the news, you try to follow him!" Remember, don't get too close, we'll do it when reinforcements arrive. With that, he turned and left.

Hardy's light skills are not very good, he ran straight and panted, and he kicked a little, I saw that the fortune teller seemed to be gone, and hurriedly said to Hardy: "Third brother, if you keep up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up." You've got a broken foot, walk slowly, I'll go over and see first! After a while, the eldest brother will bring someone here, remember to take this road to find me. Hardy nodded and said, "Second brother, be more careful!" ”

I took a deep breath and walked forward quickly, about three or four miles, the road under my feet became more and more difficult to walk, almost turned into a small road, God knew that there would be such a road in the huge capital, presumably it was unmanaged on weekdays, and it was gradually deserted. Looking from afar, the river temple is even more dilapidated, half of the gatehouse collapsed, the main hall is also ruined and broken, standing alone by the river, the surroundings are quiet, occasionally a few birds chirp, the four fields are overgrown with weeds, the breeze blows, and people feel cool for a while. Although the surroundings were quiet, there were no people, which was inevitably a little weird, but I didn't think too much about it and went straight into the River Temple.

Before I could stand firm, in the small courtyard in front of the temple, the fortune teller leaned against the courtyard wall, looking at me coldly, still holding the bamboo pole in his hand, "Heaven and earth give birth to all things, and all things have a destination." Young man, you're finally here. "His words made me feel excited, could it be that I had fallen into a trap? I looked around carefully, there was no one, although I was shocked, I pretended to be calm and said: "Since you know that I am coming, you should go back to Jinyiwei with me!" Kill for your life! ”

"Haha! Young man, you are too arrogant, do you think the old man will be afraid of you? I've been waiting for you to come to me, well, since you're not afraid of death, then I'll fulfill you! ”

As he spoke, he lifted the bamboo pole and said, "My name is Cao Jing, what is your name, I will burn some paper for you next year!" ”

I hesitated, and said in my heart that I had been deceived by him, and it seemed that I had fallen for the trick. A voice said slowly behind him, "Why are you talking so much nonsense with him?" His name is Zhang Ying, and he is the new captain of the Jinyi Guard! The voice was somewhat familiar, and before I could turn around, a cold wind came from behind, straight to my neck, and I quickly lowered my head, twisted my body, and hid to the side.

Si Lun! The person who came turned out to be Si Lun, who was holding a long sword and looked at me coldly. I opened my eyes wide, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Si Baihu, how could it be you?" "How am I? It can kill you too! "Aren't you, you, like me, all the brocade guards? I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me? "I felt that my voice was a little astringent, but I actually understood in my heart that Liao Jianzhong said that maybe it was Jinyiwei's people who killed Xiang Chong, and I once thought that it was Si Lun who I saw that day, but it was confirmed today, and I couldn't help but believe it. Si Lun looked at me and sighed: "Don't be surprised, I killed Xiang Chong, because he, like you, saw Brother Cao's assassination of Miss Hou Yefu, and I killed you to kill your mouth!" However, your skills are much stronger than Xiang Chong. ”

Xiang Chong turned out to be killed by Si Lun! I almost can't believe that the brothers of the same sect can be said to look up and not look down to see each other, how much will there be the righteousness of the same family, not to mention, Xiang Chong's father also died because of Si Lun, I was unconsciously filled with righteous indignation, glared at my eyes, and said: "You can do it!" His father died because of you, too! Si Lun's face changed, he looked up at the sky, and said, "You know too much, which also means that you should go to find Xiang Chong!" "I can't wait to rush forward immediately, it's just that they are two people, it is rumored that Si Lun is a master of Jinyiwei, and I have a little ability to deal with them? I thought of a way to escape, perhaps, Ning Boyang's rescuers would arrive.

Cao Jing grinned and said, "Brother Si, you will need to kill him, I can deal with him." Si Lun shook his head and said, "Hurry up and do it, the people from Shuntianfu will come over in a while." It's good that you lure him over, but it's a pity that his companion is too cunning and has already gone to find help. "It dawned on me that this Cao Jing just wanted me to take the bait, so that I could take the opportunity to get rid of me. My heart was chaotic for a while, Si Lun looked at me and said, "You may be innocent, but I have no choice, if I don't kill you, I will die!" As he spoke, he swung his sword and stabbed it. And Cao Jing went around to the door, guarded my retreat, smiled and watched Si Lun make a move, and said: "People say that Si Baihu is skilled in swordsmanship, and today is a feast for the eyes!" ”

To be honest, I'm scared, after all, I haven't really done it with anyone, in the past, when my uncle taught me skills, the so-called fighting was all to the point, although I had done it with the woman that day, but it was also a few moves. While dodging, I pulled out the short sword from my boots, Si Lun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How long have you been with him?" It's even his trick. He didn't have to say it, it must be Liao Jianzhong, my heart moved, and said: "Since you know this, you should know that I can't come here alone!" Si Lun stopped and looked around nervously, I took the opportunity to go out, which Cao Jing blocked the way, and said with a smile: "You kid is still a slippery head, it's not so easy to run!" ”

Si Lun saw through my thoughts, and said with a sneer: "What master teaches what apprentice, but your master didn't tell you that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people!" As he spoke, he did not allow me to speak any longer, and stabbed with his sword.

This Si Lun attacked me like a storm, I was so nervous that I was covered in sweat, but I didn't dare to slack off, swung the short sword, moved left and right, and fought with him.

Si Lun's long sword revolves around me like a silver snake, I only have the kung fu to parry, although my grandfather's short sword is short, but it is still effective to avoid Si Lun's long sword, unconsciously, we fought more than thirty times, Si Lun just wanted to kill with a blow, and the expression on his face was also extremely arrogant.

Cao Jing looked at it for a while, and seemed to be a little disbelieving, and said: "This kid has two hits, the short sword in his hand is good, Si Baihu, hurry up and kill him!" ”

Si Lun didn't speak, but the sword was faster than one move, although I felt that his tricks were average, resisting the past, but he gradually fell into the disadvantage, he was skilled in swordsmanship, and his strength was strong, I relied on the strength of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he competed for a while, and then I was indeed a little embarrassed.

Si Lun's attack is getting faster and faster, I can only dodge, although I am out of breath, but I can escape, Cao Jing said: "This kid is very slippery, and he has a little ability!" His words made me suddenly think of the swordsmanship of the scattered people, maybe I can try it, I thought about it, thinking about how to shoot, that Si Lun suddenly sold a flaw, I didn't think about it, I attacked it, he flew up and kicked me down, the short sword was thrown aside, I fell to the ground, and sighed in my heart: "It's over!" ”
