Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sword and the Song (Part II)

Piano Sword and Song (middle)

Xu Changan gritted his teeth, blood was oozing from his shoulders, he carefully avoided the watchmen, and walked all the way out of the city with Mo Qingshui.

Chang'an, which sank into the middle of the night, seemed to have become another city.

It is different from the majesty of the day, and there is no noise of the evening, when there is only a light breeze to support the willows, and the birds sleep on the branches. It has shed its majesty and noise, and the river flows quietly, and it sleeps quietly.

Xu Changan was afraid that Mo Qingshui was not familiar with the road, so he held her hand tightly, pulled Mo Qingshui, who was carrying the piano on his back, and drove to the foot of the city wall.

When the two of them arrived at the foot of the city, they looked at the tall city walls, and now the only thing they had to consider was how to get out of the city without alarming the guards.

"You can let it go, right?" Mo Qingshui suddenly whispered.

Xu Changan looked down, his two hands were tightly pressed together, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Mo Qingshui's ears were red.

He smiled, let go of Mo Qingshui's hand, clasped his hands together and rubbed them, and seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"How do you get out?"

Mo Qingshui asked again.

Xu Changan thought for a while, and immediately said: "Jiang Ming told me before this guard time, the guards at the head of Chang'an City change their guards every quarter of an hour, and the soldiers rotate every two hours, and there are more than a dozen breaths of space every time the guard is changed, and we take this opportunity to cross the city." ”

Mo Qingshui listened and nodded.

Xu Changan actually didn't say anything, there is a little grandmaster guarding each city, of course, the little grandmaster may not notice you, after all, this city is almost the safest city in the whole world, if you need the little grandmaster to pay attention to it all the time, then the safety of this city is not something that a few small grandmasters or big grandmasters can solve.

He heard Jiang Ming say that these little grandmasters were just here, and there were several little grandmasters in the city gates who used to go out to drink and chat together, and they didn't return all night.

Xu Changan could only hope that the little grandmaster above the city gate would be able to go out to drink and admire the moon.

Otherwise, he would have to test whether the token that showed his loyalty was useful.

He saw the opportunity, bowed his head and said, "I'll talk about it later, and you will help me jump over the city, I'm not in the Huixi Realm yet." ”

The walls of Chang'an City are tall and cannot be crossed by a jump.

Only when you reach the Huixi realm and can you simply walk in the sky, can you easily jump over the city.

Mo Qingshui didn't answer, and Xu Changan didn't care about her, just looked from the bottom up, looking at the shadows reflected in the torches on the city, as soon as those shadows moved, Xu Changan pulled Mo Qingshui again, but this time Mo Qingshui dodged his palm. With a change of hand, he lifted the clothes on the back of Xu Changan's neck, just like when Xu Changan mentioned Xiaobai.

With a light leap and landing again, Xu Changan realized that he had arrived outside the city.

In a short time, Sanlixi had arrived.

It's summer, and the peach blossoms are long gone, and there are big peaches hanging on the branches.

Xu Changan originally wanted to go and see the two old people, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, the enemy is current, if he doesn't handle it properly, maybe he will become neighbors with them!

It's just that Lu Ziang is accompanied by a beautiful woman, what about himself?

Xu Changan suddenly looked at Mo Qingshui beside her, and the moonlight hit half of her cheek, beautiful as a fairy.

"Being buried with her doesn't seem to be worse than that kid!" Xu Changan felt a little relieved.

"What's the daze, the enemy is coming!" Mo Qingshui's cold voice came, Xu Changan touched her nose in embarrassment, fortunately she couldn't see her dementia.

"This is what you call Sanlixi?" Mo Qingshui asked.

"Yes, this is the place outside of the city that I'm a little more familiar with. Xu Changan replied, and then said: "Here, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, they are very beautiful, and the flowers are colorful. ”

What he didn't expect was that Mo Qingshui was not happy and angry when he heard this.

"So, there are a lot of trees!"

"Of course!" Xu Changan was about to tell the grand occasion of spring here with his hands and feet, Mo Qingshui said two words lightly: "Idiot!"

Xu Changan couldn't believe it, so he immediately stopped his mouth.

"We are facing killers, the best way to fight with killers is in the wide plains, they have no terrain to rely on, you might as well bring us to the woods, and then they will hide in the woods, we can't prevent it!"

When Xu Changan heard this, he was shocked to realize that he had made an extremely stupid mistake, and immediately said: "Then let's change places!"

"How many miles of peach blossoms are outside this city?"

Xu Changan scratched his head, and said in a low voice: "It is rumored to be ten miles of peach blossoms, it is estimated that there are not ten miles, but there must be six or seven miles, right?"

"That's too late!"

Mo Qingshui fumbled, found a flat stone and sat down, untied the piano on his back, and sat down.

"What weapon do you use?"

"Sword!"

"What about your sword?" Xu Changan was silent for a while, looking at her frowning brows, his heart tightened, and he immediately pulled a leaf at random, put it to his lips and blew it.

Mo Qingshui was a little surprised, but he didn't stop it.

......

Xiaobai, who was lying on the desk, with his belly open and his head hanging upside down, looked at Shen Lang who was walking in Zama, and his eyes were full of disdain.

The three gentlemen lost the students on the road, and when they were bored, they remembered one thing.

Shen Lang is keen on martial arts, and if the three of them are bored, they can help Shen Lang lay a foundation!

Thinking about it, he began to "torture" Shen Langlai, either to let him carry water from the well and pour it into the vat, and then to carry water from the vat and pour it into the well, or to let him take a horse.

With the intervention of the three gentlemen, Xiaobai was completely idle, but he was a little embarrassed to run out to play again, so he could only watch Shen Lang being "tortured" every day.

Suddenly, a sound reached its ears. Chai Xintong and the others were only slightly surprised by this voice, so they didn't care about it, but Xiaobai turned around on the table and jumped out.

"What's going on?" Chai Xintong stood up abruptly and looked at Xiaobai's figure.

They are completely sure that this Xiaobai went out because of that strange voice, and the one who can use the voice to call Xiaobai away can most likely only be Xu Changan.

They are all smart people, and they quickly figured out the truth.

"Could it be that Xu Changan is in trouble?" Chai Xintong muttered to himself.

At the same time, He Chen and Kong Dewei both looked at Chai Xintong and looked at the direction in which Xiaobai disappeared, and Shen Lang could also take this opportunity to stand up and loosen his muscles.

"Do you want to ......" He Chen said uncertainly, and before he finished speaking, Chai Xintong's palm shook up and stopped him: "Let's not move yet, I don't know if it's for you, or just for him." However, there shouldn't be a big problem, in this Chang'an City, as long as he shows his identity, there will basically be someone to help. ”

Looking at He Chen, who was a little relieved, Chai Xintong patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's okay, if you really can't rest assured, if they don't come back in an hour, we will go to find him." ”

When He Chen heard this, he didn't insist and nodded. Shen Lang saw the three of them turn their heads and immediately set up their horses.

It was only at the moment that Kong Dewei turned around that he glanced at Hong Lao, who was outside drinking against the wall.

Hong Lao watched the three of them turn around and sighed, a little helpless.

He picked up the flask and looked at it, and the drink was soft-mouthed and short-handed! And if the little gentleman gave the order, he could only go once.

Xiao Bai walked out of the hall and went directly into Xu Changan's bedroom, the red long sword wrapped in linen, only the red hilt was exposed and leaned against the bed.

Originally, the burning was also a sacred object, and people who did not approve of it could not hold it, but Xiaobai accompanied Xu Changan for a long time, and one person and one cat often fought side by side, so it was also contaminated with Xu Changan's breath.

Xiao Bai picked up his long sword and ran in the direction where the voice came from.

It's just that it didn't notice that the old man, who only drank on weekdays and occasionally grinned with big yellow teeth, quietly followed behind it.

Xiao Bai held the long sword in his hand, and his saliva kept falling to the ground. After all, it has no hands, it can only hold it with its mouth, and Xu Changan doesn't have the strength to support the long sword and fly over to find him on its own, so he can only hold the long sword in his mouth.

Mo Qingshui sat quietly on the stone slab, his hand on the strings.

Xu Changan, who was under the moonlight, was wearing a green shirt, and there was a wound on his back, which kept oozing blood. He stood tall and straight, and the moonlight struck him. It's a pity that Mo Qingshui can't see it.

After a while, Mo Qingshui's ears moved slightly, and he became nervous.

"Something's coming!" she said immediately.

Xu Changan also looked nervously at the somewhat dark woods in front of him, for fear that two enemies with big knives would suddenly burst out.

Finally, he saw the little white figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, here comes my weapon. ”

Xiaobai put the long sword on the ground, looked at Xu Changan with resentment, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Mo Qingshui, who was sitting quietly on the stone slab, and suddenly changed his appearance, and made a sweet "meow", and rubbed towards Mo Qingshui.

"Lustful cat!" Xu Changan muttered, then leaned over and picked up the long sword.

Mo Qingshui listened carefully, and then picked up Xiaobai, who was rubbing at his feet.

"Is this yours?" she asked softly, just like when she spoke to Xu Changan before.

"That's right!" Xu Changan glanced back at Xiao Bai with resentment.

Mo Qingshui thought about it and put Xiaobai down again.

"Hurry up, it's going to be dangerous here. There was tenderness and concern in the voice.

Xu Changan glanced at it enviously and signaled that Xiao Bai could go, but he didn't expect Xiao Bai to be the same as him, sleeping at Mo Qingshui's feet, holding Mo Qingshui's skirt with his little paws.

Mo Qingshui looked helpless, and could only say: "What kind of owner raises what kind of cat, the appearance of the trick is exactly the same." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Xiaobai and put him in his arms.

Xiaobai raised his head towards Xu Changan proudly, his eyes full of pride.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and in this summer wind, it actually made people feel a little cold, and the cold hair behind Xu Changan stood up, and his back was slightly wet.

"Be careful!" As soon as Mo Qingshui's words fell, a cold light suddenly appeared from the darkness, cutting through the black clothes and hitting Mo Qingshui.

Xu Chang'an's reaction was also a few pieces, and a sword stabbed at the cold light, and suddenly there was the sound of weapons intersecting.

He didn't see anyone, he didn't see what the weapon was, he heard a faint noise, and the weapon was gone.

Xu Changan was puzzled, and Mo Qingshui spoke.

"Note that it is a chain knife, which can be used as a knife, and the handle and blade can also be separated, attacking people like a chain, and is often used for assassination and plotting. ”

When Xu Changan heard this, he nodded, his face solemn.

Another cold light appeared, and from the other direction, it still stabbed at Mo Qingshui.

Mo Qingshui didn't move, as if he didn't notice it, he sat on the stone slab dignifiedly, and when the cold mang was only an inch away from her, Hongmang appeared and helped her block it.

Xu Changan smiled slightly, keeping his breathing even, but his face was a little pale.

"You guys are so sneaky, you can't touch her in your life, you might as well come out and knock me down!"

In the darkness, there were two cold snorts!

"The cultivation is not high, but the tone is not small!"

Two men with hats, long robes, and short knives in their hands came out.

Although the two came out from different directions, they were surprisingly consistent.

Xu Changan stood in front of Mo Qingshui, holding the crimson sword tightly, firmly blocking the woman and the cat.

"Kill you, there's still some trouble!"

One of the men with a hat said slowly.

"We knocked you out and took this woman away, don't worry, you are loyal and righteous, we will not kill you. ”

The other person is in line with the Tao.

"These two people are called 'Knife', they are in a group of five, they are killers, and the cultivation of these two people is weak. If you can't bear it, you just go back, they don't dare to kill you. ”

Mo Qingshui said lightly, although it was for Xu Changan's good, Xu Changan felt that this woman looked down on him.

"In addition, there are 'silence', 'edge' and 'vigil does not return'. These three 'lonely' may not be able to come, 'Edge' and 'Vigil Don't Return' are the strongest!"

Mo Qingshui introduced, but Xu Changan turned his head and shouted: "Say anything, it's the same for anyone who comes, a few swords!"

Mo Qingshui frowned slightly, but quickly figured out Xu Changan's purpose, so he stopped speaking.

Sure enough, those two "knives" carried a hint of anger.

"Yes, in that case, the two of us have to learn from Your Excellency's tricks!"

Two chain knives attacked him, the wind became urgent, Xu Changan's long sword crossed his chest, swept out, and a burst of red light swept towards the two of them.

The faces of the two changed, and they hurriedly disappeared into the darkness, and when everything around them quieted down, in front of Xu Changan, there were only dozens of fallen peach trees, and there was still a trace of the two of them.

At this moment, the clothes on Xu Changan's right shoulder suddenly broke, and there was an extra blood mark on his body!

He turned sharply, and if these people were a little more ruthless, they could have cut off his head.

"Heimang!" He was a little frightened in his heart, most people cultivate, depending on the different exercises, the difference of individuals, or the difference of weapons, the color produced when attacking with mana will also be different.

But the most unguardable thing is the black light in the night.

Xu Changan knew that now, he couldn't trust his eyes, he could only feel it.

He fell to his knees with one knee, his sword resting on the ground, and there was another bloody streak on his calf.

Xu Changan slowly stood up, and suddenly said, "Miss Mo, can you play a song for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword suddenly blocked behind him, and a black light met the crimson long sword, like water meeting fire, making a "zizi" sound, and then disappeared without a trace.

Mo Qingshui knew that this was Xu Changan's way to calm down, at this time, Xu Changan's heart was pounding, the red long sword was becoming more and more bright, and what he was holding in his hand seemed to be a pillar of fire.

The piano is touched by the plain hands, and the sound of the piano is moving.

It's just that in this somewhat empty night, the sound of the piano seems a little empty.

With the sound of the qin, Xu Changan seemed to be like a tiger with wings, and every black light could be smoothly blocked, and the two people in the darkness were slightly surprised, not understanding why Xu Changan seemed to be able to see through their attacks after listening to the sound of the qin.

The long sword kept waving, Xu Changan became more and more chic and free, at this time, he used neither the chic and elegant "Imperial Sword Technique" of Shushan, nor the clumsy "Running Thunder", chic but not heavy, but the heavy but smart.

Although it is not as good as "Imperial Sword Technique" or "Running Thunder" in terms of agility or power alone, this made Xu Changan gradually understand "Breaking Sword Technique".

He also gradually learned why he wanted to learn the "Breaking Sword Technique", and he had to learn the exercises of various schools first.

It's all just right.

The two hat-bearers suddenly felt that Xu Changan was like a wall, seemingly weak and windy, as if they could be blown by the wind, but they couldn't cross it.

The sound of the piano is like a small river flowing water, which makes Xu Changan's ears extremely comfortable and makes him a little relaxed.

Although the two people on the opposite side are in the Huixi Realm, this is a killer, and the assassination they are good at pays attention to agility and one-hit hits, so their physical fitness is not so good.

It is impossible for them to fight Xu Changan shirtless.

If they are allowed to get close, the two of them are sure, and within ten breaths, Xu Changan will definitely lose his combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that they can't help it.

The moonlight hit Xu Changan and Mo Qingshui's bodies, Xu Changan's face turned pale, and he smiled faintly: "Change the tune!"

As soon as the words fell, the tune changed, and he seemed to hear the roar on the battlefield.

Xu Chang'an's body shook twice, his head was a little groggy, and the wound on his left shoulder was cracked, which was stabbed by the inspectors with a long sword fed with drugs.

He was half-kneeling on the ground, slapping his head and rubbing his eyes vigorously, but all this seemed to be to no avail, he only felt very tired and wanted to sleep well.

The sound of the piano became slightly heavier, and Xu Changan immediately reacted, and reluctantly blocked the left side with his long sword.

At this time, the two of them understood why Xu Changan was suddenly able to see through their attack.

Mo Qingshui has no eyes, but as a little grandmaster and has not seen the light all year round, her perception is much stronger than others, and it is not strange to be able to judge the attacks of the two, and then it is transmitted to Xu Changan through the sound of the qin, in this way, the two of them thought that Xu Changan suddenly realized and saw through their attack.

At this time, Xu Changan was already lying on the ground, and his body curled up.

The two glanced at each other and appeared in front of Mo Qingshui, and at their feet was Xu Changan.

"Will you come back with us?"

"I wonder why. Mo Qingshui said lightly.

"I don't know, the master just wants us to take you back. Mo Qingshui snorted coldly, and the two sighed slightly: "Since that's the case, then I'm sorry." ”

As he spoke, the hands of the two drooped, and a blade appeared in the cuff, and a chain was connected to the blade, and the blade kept turning, and the chain rattled.

The chain knife was about to strike, when suddenly a scream came.

A man with a hat looked at his abdomen with a look of incredulity, and a fiery red sword pierced into his body!
