Lantian Yushan, south of Qinling, north of the Ba River, from Luonan County to Chang'an, is a must pass through, and there is a place to stay all the way, it is convenient.

Yushan is surrounded by blue water, the scenery is charming, several villages of all sizes surround the foot of Yushan, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, although it is a poor life, but also peace and joy.

One of the smallest villages is known locally as the Lonely Old Village.

Since Song Taizu pacified the Central Plains, the war stopped, the trade routes in various places were restored to smoothness, and the people in the city became rich. The lonely old village is the most serious one, the young people in it are gone, and the old people who can't leave continue to live here.

Red beans passed through the lonely old village at noon, and when they entered the village, they wanted to find a family to exchange silver for some hot food.

When I walked into the entrance of the village, I saw four old men around a table, eating dried tofu and drinking wine on the flat ground at the entrance of the village.

An old man inside looked at her on a horse, laughed, grinned with a few teeth, and called, "What a handsome girl!"

She smiled smugly at the old man, the dirt road in the village was bumpy, but it did not affect the old people in the village to enjoy the sun outside. There was an old woman of about 60 who was still holding an iron stove, and baked cakes in it, and the fragrance of sesame seeds and dough wafted out, tickling the red bean cravings, so that she could not help but get off the horse and buy two cakes from the old woman to eat.

When you take it, you put it in your mouth, and the taste is very positive, crispy and fragrant. The old woman who sold the cake smiled and watched her swallow while blowing, her expression was kind, and there was a cautious satisfaction in her cloudy eyes, as if she was looking at her own daughter.

The old woman's words were also heartwarming, "Eat slowly, be careful of burning." ”

The red bean chewed in his mouth, and he only had time to nod.

It felt weird, and while walking past, it was like an old woman selling cakes, about the same age, leaning over, on crutches, walking slowly, and looking back at her, with a kind look, with a little look at her relatives.

"Why are there old people on the streets, but young people?"

"Run out. The old woman said with a smile, without a little sadness.

After eating the cake, the red bean touched his stomach contentedly, trying to find a place to rest for a while, and was about to ask, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the entrance of the village.

The sound was like a dense drumbeat, trampling, trampling, and when it reached the entrance of the village, it suddenly came down, trampled, trampled, trampled...... Apparently the rider's skill was very good, she turned her head to see the man on the horse, and then her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

The red horse was sweaty, the mouth and nose were steaming, Wang Xiaojun who was sitting on the horse also had beads of sweat on his forehead, he had a sword tied to his back, a green coat, a hat on his head, and a dusty servant, when he saw the red beans, he immediately smiled, turned over from the horse, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"You're not here to chase me, are you?"

He blushed and nodded.

Azuki covered her mouth and laughed, "You're stupid...... It's over, I'm really going to be whipped by your grandfather with a sword. ”

Wang Xiaojun hurriedly said: "No, I didn't tell them, I ran out by myself." ”

Hongdou raised an eyebrow on one side and said, "Then you're going to whip me even more." ”

There are no restaurants and wineries in the village, so Hongdou and Wang Xiaojun walked around, but they returned to the old woman's stall, bought some cakes, and planned to go to the next village to have a look.

"It's good, at least it won't be boring. Hongdou said to Wang Xiaojun.

They mounted their horses and flew away from their horses together.

As he jumped away, the horse under his seat had been shot by a long sharp arrow and fell to the ground with a neighing sound.

The houses in the lonely old village are not built high, and some of them are not even a foot long, which is really old and dilapidated. At some point, the rooftops around it were full of people, and at a glance, there were about twenty or thirty people. Some of them were holding bows and arrows, and some were already drawing their swords.

Wang Xiaojun shouted at those people: "Who are you, why are you ambushing the master here?"

Hongdou pulled him back to the wall, dodging the bow and arrows on the roof behind him, carefully guarding the direction he was facing, and said, "The room on the right, go in first." ”

Wang Xiaojun knew what she meant, the other party was overwhelmed, and there were bows and arrows, so he had to avoid the open place first.

They rushed into the house, and an old man was cutting a branch with his back to them in the corner of the house, glanced at them, and went on with his work without moving.

They burst out of the small door at the back of the house, a narrow alley, and climbed up the wall, and were met with several sharp arrows. These bows and arrows were accurate and fast, but the two of them were almost first-class in the world, so they were not shot by a few arrows, but were forced to jump off the wall. As soon as he landed back in the alley, three people had jumped down from the roof, and the sword was handed in front of him.

These three people are all dressed as Jianghu Ronin, there is nothing surprising, the swordsmanship is not bad, Wang Xiaojun and the three of them fought two moves, but they only had a slight advantage. Red Bean didn't want to fight in the narrow alley, so he pulled him through the small door and returned to the house.

The old man who pruned the branches looked at them, but ignored them, and continued to turn back and prune the branches.

Three swordsmen rushed in, Wang Xiaojun and Hongdou returned to the street in front of the house, and were immediately surrounded by more than a dozen people, and the three people chasing after them blocked the front of the house, and they couldn't go anywhere.

The bows and arrows on the roof were pointed, and there were more than a dozen men with swords in all directions, Wang Xiaojun was not afraid at all, and said to Hongdou: "Look at it, it's not very powerful, I'll rush out of a road, you just run forward!"

He wasn't afraid, but he was nervous in the end, so he spoke in a loud voice, and I don't know which one, laughed on the roof, and the laughter was weird.

Seeing that Hongdou was silent, he thought he was frightened, so he immediately mustered up his internal strength and rushed out.

These Jianghu men who don't know where they come from, the bottom of their hands is not weak, one or two can't stop him, but they repel two, come up three, and kill with swords on the left and right, and fight for a while, Wang Xiaojun fought to kill two strong men, and he was also slashed on the arm, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

The one who cut him was a young man, dressed in black samurai cedar, holding a steel knife in his hand, his face was white and pure, and his pair of red phoenix eyes were very eye-catching. This person suddenly took out a knife, the knife was amazing, Wang Xiaojun thought to himself that the two of them were right, and this person was also extremely difficult to deal with.

He retreated, panting, red-eyed, and rushed up again, but now he didn't care, and he was bent on breaking out so that Hongdou could escape.

The Yellow River Soul Returning Sword Wang Ping's swordsmanship, Wang Xiaojun got the true inheritance, although the sword moves are not as magical as Wang Ping, but they also grasp the essence. Wang Ping dominates the rivers and lakes with a set of "Open Heaven and Earth" swordsmanship, using a rare two-handed sword on the rivers and lakes, paying attention to "picking and pulling the belt, erasing and collapsing, and splitting and washing". Wang Xiaojun is very good at "pumping, collapsing, splitting, and hanging." "Only from the perspective of sword moves, it looks young and vigorous, if Wang Ping is replaced to make this set of swordsmanship, it will focus on the four sword postures of "bring, wiping, pointing, and washing".

He raised his sword in both hands, and it was extremely long, flat on the ground, almost reaching his chest.

If the sword is picked up in a circle, it is difficult for ordinary swords to get close, he smokes a thick sword light, splitting and collapsing, as if he is competing with a mountain wall, the rivers and lakes surrounding him, one of them is greedy for merit, and wants to grab into his sword circle, the person is in, and is split by the sword blade that turns back, and is cut into two pieces by a sword from the waist, and the scene is extremely bloody.

He didn't realize that there were too many people around, and the Dan Fengyan who used the knife was an extremely sinister and despicable character, and the angle of the blade handed out was tricky, he prevented this person from stabbing five times, and killed three people again, rushed out of the way, and was still slashed by Dan Fengyan under the ribs.

With this knife, Wang Xiaojun's momentum also weakened, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't rush out, so he shouted in his mouth: "Wang Ping's grandson Wang Xiaojun's death is not a pity, you don't want to hurt the innocent!"

Hongdou has been watching him desperately from the side, looking at the surrounding environment, hearing him shout like this, he couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly waved his hand and shot out six golden threads, the head of the golden thread was wearing a silver needle, and in the blink of an eye, the three men beside Wang Xiaojun were stabbed to the ground.

The three of them covered their eyes and struggled and howled, and their companions were also startled by the sudden change and did not dare to step forward for a while.

Wang Xiaojun's side was empty, and he looked around, suddenly froze, and looked back at the red beans in surprise.

"Are you from the Ning family?"

Hongdou looked murderous, and when he asked, he nodded silently and said, "My surname is Ning, and my name is Hongdou." She pursed her lips, "You idiot, it's none of your business here, they're here for me." ”

Wang Xiaojun retreated to her side and laughed: "Dealing with you is dealing with me, the same truth." ”

A hint of tenderness appeared on her solemn face, and she asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Wang Xiaojun said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's just that it hurts badly." ”

In front of him, everyone was about to surround him again, and the red bean shook his hand and shot out silver needles and gold threads, Wang Xiaojun thought that these people were going to be unlucky. Unexpectedly, a person jumped out of the crowd, took out a large scissors half an arm's length, and with a series of clicks, cut her six gold threads short.

Wang Xiaojun couldn't close his mouth in surprise, you must know that the silver needles and gold threads shot out by the red beans were so fast that even he couldn't see clearly, and the other party actually cut off all six of them in an instant - what kind of eyesight and what kind of technique is needed?

The rest of the men kept surrounding him, and the bright tip of the knife made his heart tingle.

Hongdou said coldly: "It turned out to be you!" After speaking, she passed by Wang Xiaojun like a butterfly, snatched the sword in his hand with her hand, and the sword light burst out, piercing a man through the throat with only one face, the sword light turned around, and slashed through the arm of a swordsman, and then rushed into the crowd and fought seven or eight moves before being forced back. Although they did not knock down the other party again, the effect was obvious, and these people did not dare to surround them again for a while.

I don't know who actually applauded the roof overhead.

"Your idiot dad doesn't need to let the Ning family learn, but he went to learn swords, if it is said that the man's body is undignified with silver needles and gold threads, it is just that, a girl of your family actually learned your father's swordsmanship, it is really eye-opening, hahahaha!"

Hongdou was not angry, but said calmly: "People from the He family, if you want to kill me, come down and do it!"

The man jumped off the roof, and the people around them made a way out of the way, and he walked slowly through the crowd.

Wang Xiaojun's eyes widened as he watched him slowly approach. This man was wearing a sackcloth with patches on it, and the patches were of different colors, which looked colorful and funny. It was obviously a sunny day, but this person was carrying a huge bamboo umbrella, and I don't know what the intention was.

As he gradually walked in, Wang Xiaojun felt that the skin on his back seemed to be pricked by countless needles, and his heart became panicked.

Hongdou didn't know this person, but when he saw him, he said with great certainty: "Sure enough, it's you." ”

He laughed, and suddenly bent over to the red bean.

"I want to thank you, Ning Hongdou. ”

"Why thank me?"

"Thank you for leaving Jiangning Mansion so that I can kill you. ”

But he immediately changed his words, and continued: "Oh, no, no, no, it's not to kill you, it's to torture you." ”

Wang Xiaojun couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he heard the red beans beside him laugh: "Look at your situation, it's not difficult to kill me, torture me to death, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”

"Haha, it's difficult to do it with just you, but with this prince here, it's not difficult. ”

Red Bean's face sank suddenly.

Wang Xiaojun was silent until now, looked at her, and thought to himself that if he could die in one place, what was there not to be satisfied with? ”

Hongdou knew that he had made up his mind, and would rather fight to the death.

"Hahahaha......"

Wang Xiaojun didn't know why this person was laughing, but Hongdou understood that the more Xiaojun thought about herself, the more she couldn't hurt him.

So, she put down her sword - Wang Xiaojun's sword fell to the ground, and in the quiet village, the movement made people lose their souls.

"What are you doing?" asked Wang Xiaojun stunned.

Hongdou laughed easily: "You are really stupid, we met in Pingshui, where is the reason why you lost your life?"

Her sword was lowered, but another sword fell from the sky, and fell squarely above her head.

If you don't catch it, you will be smashed on the head, Hongdou caught the sword, and when she saw the appearance of the sword, she raised her head in surprise.

On the roof behind them, the ambushed quacks were gone, leaving only a young man.

The man in the colorful clothes looked at him, and he looked at the man.

"You are Ning Xiaosi?"

"I am. ”

"You're here for me?"

"My family knew that you were in Chang'an, so they let me come. ”

Hongdou pulled out the sword, the blade of the sword was stained with blood, and it fell down ticking, this sword should have been in the ancestral house of the Ning family in Jiangning Mansion......

Since my father's death, my ancestor put this sword into the ancestral house and offered it, and no one could touch it. Even she can't touch her.

She looked at the young man on the roof, showed a happy smile, and called softly in her mouth: "Little Fourth Brother!"
