Volume I, Chapter XVI

Kublai Khan rarely held a sword on the neck of the princess of Chalun, and his heart was very anxious, and he was afraid that I would hurt her, so he said: "That's it, that's it! Benhan will let you wait for a way to live today, and if you hurt the princess, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces." He ordered the sergeant to make a way and ordered the captured members of the bloody gatekeeper to be released. “

I said, "Thank you for not killing." However, let's say in advance, as long as the blood kills the door and does not extinguish, one day you will be killed. "As he spoke, he ordered everyone to go first, and I took Princess Chalun to the rear. Kublai Khan really didn't dare to chase after him. Only the young man in white armor held the meniscus in his hand, and followed from a distance on horseback. “

After leaving the gate to see that it was safer, Princess Chalun said, "Just get here, they won't chase after you." I said, "Thank you, princess, for your help! "Unlocked the acupuncture points for her. “

Princess Tsaron moved her body and suddenly asked, "What's your name?" I said, "My surname is Tu Bailong." “

Princess Chalun said, "Your name is so domineering. What kind of swordsmanship are you using?" I said, "Eighteen Swords of Jade Void." “

Princess Chalun said: "This swordsmanship is so good...... Brother Tu, can you teach me?" When she said this, Princess Chalun's face was full of smiles, and there was no domineering princess posture at all. “

Wan Yan replied: "I have deigned to call you Brother Tu, it seems that you can't shirk it." “

Tu Bailong said: "Her reluctant invitation really surprised me, and at the same time, I was embarrassed. Do you think, I tried my best to assassinate her father, no matter what I say between her and me, we should be regarded as enemies, how can I teach the enemy swordsmanship in turn?"

Seeing that I hesitated, Princess Chalun said, "Are you embarrassed? Then forget it!" Seeing her disappointed face, I suddenly felt unbearable and said, "See you on the hill on the north slope tomorrow night." “

Princess Chalun turned her worries into joy in an instant, and said, "See you and leave." He beckoned the white-armored young man to drive his horse over, jumped on the horse, turned his horse's head and went back to the camp. “

Speaking of this, Tu Bailong let out a long sigh.

Wan Yanfu listened with great interest and asked, "What happened later? Did the seniors really teach her swordsmanship?"

Tu Bailong sighed again and said, "No." There seemed to be a sense of loss in his voice.

Wan Yan replied: "Is it because the seniors can't pass this psychological hurdle after all, and they missed the appointment?"

Tu Bailong said: "That's not it. “

"Is it that Princess Chalun didn't come?" Wan Yanfu thought to himself, this is strange. He guessed that at this time, Tu Bailong's face must have been full of loss, but he couldn't see it in the dark.

"Soon after we left the Mongol camp that night, it was dawn. Our group of more than 40 people was like a defeated rooster, hanging our heads all the way north into the vast desert. Our assassination mission failed, and we had no face to return to the Central Plains, so we had to temporarily find shelter in the desert and wait for the opportunity. “

Wan Yan replied: "The desert is full of yellow sand, where is the place to live?"

Tu Bailong said "um" and said: "It just so happened that when we were wandering, a fast horse galloped over, and the person who came was a Mongolian warrior, claiming to be a person from the Haidu of Ogedai Hanguo, and came to guide us on the order of the Great Han Haidu. We didn't want to have anything to do with the Mongols, but we thought that since Haidu had rebelled against Kublai Khan, we had a common enemy, and it would be good to use each other. He followed the Mongolian warrior to a ruined ancient city that had been buried by yellow sand, and all the daily necessities were provided by Haidu. “

"At the beginning, everyone was worried about what the sea would make difficult demands. But then I learned that all our worries were unnecessary. Haidu not only did not make any requests, but also avoided them, but only asked people to spread the word that we should practice with peace of mind so that we could prepare for the assassination of Kublai Khan in the future. “

"After everyone settled down, the next evening, I slipped out of the ancient city alone, galloped for dozens of miles, and came to the hill on the northern slope agreed with Princess Chalun, waiting for Princess Chalun's arrival. “

Wan Yan replied: "Is Princess Chalun here?"

"Here we are...... I didn't see it. Speaking of this, Tu Bailong's teeth clenched, and his heart seemed to be full of sorrow, and said: "I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch...... I waited alone on the hill for two hours, but I still didn't see the princess of Tsaron. I thought, maybe it was a joke that the little girl deliberately told me on a whim, but I took it seriously with a foolish feeling. Anyway, I have been here as promised, but she didn't come herself, so it's no wonder I didn't believe it. “

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a soft "whoosh" and an arrow shot at me without hurrying. I stretched out my hand and copied the arrow in my hand, and by the moonlight, I saw that it was a golden-winged flower feather arrow of Princess Chalun, but the strength was not as strong as that of Princess Chalun. I think maybe she's afraid she's hurting me. I saw a note tied to the arrow, so I took it down and looked at it closely, but the note was blank, and there was no handwriting or marking. I was hesitating when a faint scent came to my nose...... I fainted......" At this, Tu Bailong stopped talking and fell silent.

Wan Yan replied: "Fragrance? Could it be that Princess Chalun smeared poison on the note? What happened later?"

"I've been here since then. Tu Bailong said angrily.

Wan Yan replied: "It seems that the predecessor fell for the trick of Princess Nacharon...... Alas, people's hearts are unpredictable, but I don't know that Princess Nacharon seems to be a heroine among women and a hero among women, but she is so scheming, asking you for swordsmanship is false, and trapping you is true......"

Tu Bailong suddenly said angrily: "I don't allow you to say that about Princess Chalun. Princess Charon ...... She...... She won't ...... I will not look away, for there must be someone else who is tricky......" Later, almost muttering to himself, he gradually fell asleep. I think it's the first time in 20 years that I've said so many things in my head, and I'm tired of talking.

Wan Yanfu sighed and said in his heart: "The saddest thing about people is that they are gullible and betrayed and calculated, but they still believe in them. This Tu senior was imprisoned for 20 years for no reason, which was really a great misfortune in his life. "Is it hard to ......say that I am now imprisoned here, will I end up like him?" Thinking and thinking, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind: I was imprisoned after being unconscious in the acupoint of the master of Cheng Hall in the Drunken Immortal Building, and the person who imprisoned me must be the golden sword and horse Ti Jian Gan, and the Ti Jian Gan is the husband of Princess Chalun, and the Ti Jian Gan twenty years ago was the white-armored young man in Tu Bailong's mouth...... In this way, Tu Bailong's poisoning plot must have been done by this supervisor, maybe Princess Chalun didn't know about it?

There was silence in the stone room, and I don't know how long it took, after Yan Fu was lonely and bored, only to feel a wave of tiredness hit me, drowsy. In a daze, I only heard a sound of "crickets" coming from the stone wall not far from Tu Bailong on the left, and the stone wall was close to the ground where a hole was exposed, and a light came in from the outside, and someone stuffed food from the hole.

Tu Bailong woke up in shock, grabbed the food and ate it. Wan Yanfu borrowed the light to see this Tu Bailong who had been imprisoned here for 20 years. But seeing that his clothes were already in tatters, he was in good spirits, with a crane-haired face, a gray beard about a few inches long, and an age of about fifty to sixty.

Wan Yanfu leaned down and wanted to see through the hole to see the situation outside, but the person who delivered food outside locked the door of the cave with a click.

Wan Yanfu thought to himself, the hole was as wide as a foot, about a few inches high, and it could be used for one person to get out, but how could I open the door to the hole? This is the crux of the matter. Besides, if someone is guarding outside, and he just pokes his head out, and he immediately gives it to someone, how can he escape?

Tu Bailong didn't ask Yan Fu if he ate it, so he ate the food himself. After eating and drinking, he stretched his waist, and then said slowly: "Is the doll wondering if it can escape from this hole?"

Wan Yanfu said "um" and said, "How can it be so easy?"

Tu Bailong said: "It's good to know." After a pause, he said, "I have eaten your share of food, and you must starve for three days." “

Wan Yan Fuqi said: "Three days?"

Tu Bailong said: "They will only send food in about once in two or three days. So I ate your food, and I taught you how to see in the dark. “

Wan Yanfu was skeptical: "Seeing with both eyes is an innate instinct, how can there be such a skill in the world?"

Tu Bailong smiled and said, "I have been imprisoned for 20 years, and I have finally practiced this skill, don't you believe it?" You close your eyes, calm your breath, and try to run the qi of the dantian along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra for a week, and then gather in the 'Baihui' and walk the 'Jade Pillow' through the 'Sun' to the Eye' and 'Meixin' acupoints to see what will happen?"

Wanyanfu still doesn't believe it, but if you want to be idle, it's idle, as long as it's harmless to your body, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. And he did as he was told.

Tu Bailong said: "You open your eyes and try it." “

Wan Yanfu slowly opened his eyes, and he could see much more clearly than before, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice." “

Tu Bailong said: "As long as you practice several times a day, within three days, you will be able to see things as usual." “
