Chapter 32: The Past
The wooden knife on Qinglin's waist was trembling slightly, and the onlookers all felt a chill on the pavement.
A figure swept in from the darkness, stretched out his hand to block the young man, and said with an extremely solemn face: "Young master, go quickly." ”
The young man looked unkind: "Let's go, kill him for me." ”
The man didn't move, but looked at the bamboo sword boy who was slowly approaching, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Qinglin made a killing move.
The last time I had this idea, it was at the foot of the North Mountain Pass in Qingyang Town, and after hearing what happened to Mu Li's brother and sister-in-law, the idea of wanting to kill suddenly came out of my mind.
At this time, in the wooden knife that has been warming the sword spirit for decades, an indescribable aura will rise and flood the body.
Qinglin didn't know what was going on, maybe something went wrong with the sword spirit condensed in an alternative way...
Just like now, the wooden knife at his waist was uncontrollable and trembled gently again.
And he, wanting to kill.
At this moment, a team of five or six armor soldiers rushed out of the crowd and blocked in front of both sides, and one armor soldier said: "Today is the day of the city lord and the crown, and fighting is prohibited in the Qing court." ”
Qinglin stopped, but the tiger riding boy said coldly: "Do you know who I am?"
As soon as the armor saw this young man, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and replied, "The little one naturally knows Young Master Jin. ”
The young man snorted coldly: "Acquaintances, hurry up and get out." ”
The Jiashi Khan rained down, but he still stubbornly said: "The order that Mr. Qingfei personally transmitted, the little one dare not disobey. ”
The young man became angry: "What if I disobey!"
"That's not going to work either!"
While talking, another person came between several people, wearing Xuanqing armor, wearing a war knife at his waist, holding a big cigarette in his hand, and a gourd hanging from his waist.
The people of Qing Court City may not know this old pawn, but they all know the special color armor on his body.
Qing Yu Wei!
There are 300 green feather guards in the Qing court city, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and their names are shocking.
Three hundred green feather guards gathered, and they can kill the three-grade masters, which is a trump card that Mr. Dragonfly has cultivated over the years, and he and the city lord Shangguan Qingqing are only at his disposal.
When the soldier in a cold sweat saw the old soldier, he immediately felt relieved, and said respectfully: "Brother Chen." ”
The old pawn nodded in response, and said to the young man next to the saber-toothed tiger: "Today's ban on fighting is an order personally given by Mr. Qingfei, if Young Master Jin is not convinced, even if he goes to his old man's house, why bother us little ones." ”
Hearing Mr. Qingfei, the young man surnamed Jin had a cloudy face, and finally stared at Qinglin, and said fiercely: "Remember, your life, I am going to decide!"
The man who stood in front of the young man was relieved to see that Qinglin did not make any moves.
He is Young Master Jin's personal protector, usually hiding in the shadows, responsible for his safety, and will not show up easily unless he has to.
But now he is worried in his heart, the momentum that the bamboo sword boy exuded before, is really terrifying.
He has only felt this kind of momentum in a handful of people, including Mr. Qingfei.
The boy left with the slave, and the guard kept an eye on Qinglin during this time, for fear that the boy would suddenly attack.
Qing Lin didn't stop him, he could see that those armor soldiers were afraid of that young man, and he didn't want to do things that would make others too embarrassed.
Today is the city lord's crown day, and he has a request for the city lord's mansion, and he can't do things too much.
So, let the boy go.
But that doesn't mean it's over...
Grandpa once said to himself, punishing evil is promoting good...
The saber-toothed tiger and the teenager...
will all die...
The veteran glanced at Qinglin and said in a deep voice, "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
Jiang San squeezed forward and said, "Where are you going, what can't you say here?"
The old pawn glared at him: "What nonsense, you come with me." ”
"Fuck..."
Jiang San wanted to refute, but Qinglin stopped him and followed the old pawn all the way, he wanted to know what this old man wanted to say to him.
Jiang San and the two little girls naturally followed.
Along the way, the old man was silent, just smoked the dry tobacco in his hand, picked up the gourd on his waist from time to time, and poured a sip of wine.
Jiang San sniffed the aroma of the wine and sniffed hard, and suddenly said, "You are an aged cinnamon brew." ”
The old pawn glanced at him in surprise: "You melon baby, you are not very old, your nose is very smart, yes, this is exactly ten years of cinnamon brewing, it is the self-brewing of ordinary people, and it is very pure." ”
The old man raised his head and took a big puff again, smoking a cigarette, looking very enjoyable.
Jiang San felt that his tongue was a little dry, swallowed his saliva, and forcibly resisted the idea of pressing the old pawn to the ground and snatching his wine jug and pouring it violently.
The old man led a few people all the way forward, through the lively street, to the huge gate of the Qing court city, stood under the same huge old locust tree, looked at the city, and sighed:
"A few of you have already caused the disaster of death, and you don't know it. ”
Qinglin said: "Is it the tiger riding boy before?"
The old pawn nodded, spat out the smoke ring, and said slowly: "That young man's name is Jin Minjie, and he is the head of the four major families in Qing Court City, and the eldest grandson of the Jin family.
Relying on his own power, he has always been domineering, and he will be revenged, and anyone who offends him often ends up miserable.
If it weren't for the crown day of our city lord today, Mr. Qingfei gave an order that no fighting was allowed in the city, and you might have lost your lives long ago. ”
Qinglin groaned, "So you brought us here because you want us to leave Qing Court City?"
The old man snorted his cigarette stick: "Yes, I don't think you are bad people, take this opportunity to run for your life." ”
Jiang San couldn't help laughing on the side: "Old man, it's not me who blows it to you, just my brother, I don't have other skills, so I can it."
If you hadn't stopped him just now, that little cub would have hung up his mother, and speaking of which, he would have to thank your old man for saving his life. ”
The old pawn glared at him angrily and said, "You melon baby, you talk big."
Not to mention that Jin Minjie's own cultivation is not low, there is that person standing in front of him, but the Jin family is one of the best masters, and he is Jin Minjie's personal guard, even in this Qing Court City, where there are many masters, he is also a first-class person, and he still wants to kill him?
It's a shame that you met me, otherwise you wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and talk big.
Get out of here and run for your life. ”
The old pawn smoked a cigarette, his eyes were full of melancholy, and he suddenly sighed: "It's been ten years, and it's been a few years of peaceful life, and it's going to be chaotic again." ”
Qinglin heard what the old man said, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't today the day of the city lord and the crown, it stands to reason that you should celebrate happily, how can you look at your old face sadly?"
The old pawn frowned and said: "Why don't you leave, it's really too long?" I didn't joke with you at all, that kid from the Jin family is true to his word and ruthless, and he will really kill people." ”
Qinglin nodded: "I understand your kindness, but I'm really curious, please ask the old man to solve my doubts, and then it's not too late to leave." ”
The old pawn sighed: "You melon babies...
That's it, since you have to listen, I'll tell you about the twists and turns, and that's a long way to go..."
It turned out that ten years ago...
Long Yin had a big event that shocked the world but was confusing.
Three famous figures...
Shangguan Yun, the city lord of the Qing court, Liu Yuanxiang, the city lord of Chu and Han cities, and Xiao Zhongyan, the city lord of Song Yincheng, disappeared without a trace overnight...
No one knows what happened that day...
The three talented lords of a city disappeared into Longyin and never appeared again...
For a while, countless rumors spread.
It is rumored that he is the head of the current Thirteen Kui of Long Yin, the mysterious and unpredictable leader who cultivates to be a mysterious person, and a secret killer.
Because apart from this person, there is no one in Long Yin who can make three cultivators equally good city lords overnight, and there is no news.
It is also rumored that the three city lords once went west to chase someone, but then they never returned, and they were poisoned.
Some people even said that the three city lords fought in private, and as a result, they were all defeated and died in a corner of Longyin.
There are all kinds of rumors, but so far, they have not been confirmed.
The whereabouts of the three city lords have become an unsolved mystery for the entire Long Yin.
After the sudden disappearance of the old city lord Shangguan Yun, only an eight-year-old girl, Shangguan Qingqing, was left behind.
The four major families in Qing Court City, headed by the Jin family, immediately waited for the opportunity to move, wanting to plot against them and replace them.
The three commanders under the command of the old city lord tried their best to stop it, but they were powerless to return to the sky.
Just when the victory of the four major families was in sight, a young man who was adopted by the old city lord and played chess all the year round was born out of thin air, and with the power of one person, all the strong people of the four major families were killed!
In that battle ten years ago, everyone thought that the Jin family would ban the old city lord from taking the throne, but no one could have imagined that at the critical moment, that young man would come out of nowhere and forcibly reverse the entire situation with the power of one person!
That boy is now Mr. Qingfei!
Even after ten years, when the old man talks about the past, he is still full of admiration, obviously yearning for and admiring Mr. Qingfei.
Qinglin sighed: "Mr. Qingfei, but he is an amazing character. ”
The old pawn sighed: "Who said it wasn't, but now, alas..."
Qinglin pondered, remembering the conversation between the boxing master named Bei Feng and the commander Yi Zhengqing in the Tianjiang River, and asked the old man: "Qing Court City, is it going to be peaceful again?"
The old pawn sighed and clenched the big cigarette stick, looking indignant.
"In the past ten years, the young city lord, with the assistance of Mr. Qing Fei, has worked hard, and the people of the eighteen counties of the entire Qing court city have lived happily and well-being, compared to when the old city lord was there, it is not far behind, and even surpassed.
But some measures have touched the interests of those people, and those family forces have been complaining behind their backs.
Secretly, they joined forces, and they violated the words of the young city lord and Mr. Dragonfly, and acted perversely, and secretly made no less stumbling blocks.
Now that ten years have passed, I never thought that they were still thieves, and the four major families led by the Jin family took advantage of the day of our city lord and crown to invite masters from all walks of life in the eighteen counties to gather in Qing Court City.
They also led all the masters under their command to the scene, saying that they were congratulating, but who doesn't know the ambition of the wolf behind the scenes?
The four major families have chosen such a special day, and they have been planning for a long time, and I don't know if Mr. Dragonfly can do it this time..."
The old man stopped talking, took the last puff of his cigarette, hung the cigarette stick on his body, and said to Qinglin and a few people with a complicated expression: "Qing Court City may be in chaos, you should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible." ”
Qinglin asked, "What about you?"
"Me?"
The old man rubbed the war knife on his waist and said softly: "I followed the old city lord at the age of thirteen, and I have been guarding the gate of this Qing court city for forty years. ”
When the old pawn left, what he was holding in his hand was no longer the cigarette stick, but the war knife at his waist, and his back was on the bluestone road under the locust tree, which looked a little bleak...
Jiang San looked at Qinglin: "We..."
Qinglin said, "You take Ye Zhi and Fluttershy back to the inn to pack up your things, go back to the boat, and if anything is wrong, go back to Qingyang Town first." ”
Jiang San shook his head and refused: "I know what you're thinking, let them go back to the boat, I'll be with you, you're too good, I'm not by your side, I'm always not at ease." ”
Qinglin pondered for a while and said, "Okay." ”
Then he walked up to Fluttershy, wiped the blood from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "You don't need to use that ability, it's very sad, if you use it a few more times, your body will hurt." ”
Qinglin's soft voice touched Fluttershy's heart inexplicably, only to feel that her brother's figure seemed to overlap with Qinglin, so similar.
She nodded obediently, Qinglin rubbed her forehead, and chuckled: "You go back to the boat with Sister Ye Zhi, you have no relatives, I will be your relatives in the future, you go back to Qingyang Town with me, okay?"
She nodded again.
Qinglin smiled and waved goodbye to the two little girls, and walked to the City Lord's Mansion with Jiang San.
Today is the day of the crown of the city lord Shangguan Qingqing.
The masters in the City Lord's Mansion were like clouds, and the masters of the four major families and the eighteen counties gathered together.
These people have ill intentions, and the situation is bound to be-for-tat.
The current city lord's mansion is the Longtan Tiger's Den.
But Qinglin had two things to do.
Ask for a pill for Sister Qing that breaks tendons and bones.
And then... Kill that tiger riding boy!
