twenty-eight

Juyou Ju Cen shopkeeper used to be a character in the rivers and lakes, affectionate, well-connected, quite a bit of reputation, on weekdays he was in the yard to grow vegetables, occasionally in the kitchen fried meat, days of leisure, rarely show his face, tonight, he made the shop Xiao Er close the door early, he sat alone in the hall to drink.

Nameless took the hat back to the inn, and when he passed the hall, the shopkeeper Cen peeled peanuts and said, "The door of the stairs is locked, and I can't go up ......."

Ignoring it, he walked up the stairs by himself, and found that the door was indeed locked, and when he turned back, the shopkeeper Cen also locked the door of the hall, obviously intending to trap people.

"I'm not hostile, and I guessed you'd be hungry, so come and sit down, and the rice and steamed fish are still hot on the table. The shopkeeper Cen took out the basket, the food was fragrant, Nameless was obviously hungry, he hadn't eaten for a day, and asked hesitantly: "You and I don't know each other, why are you hospitable?"

Cen shopkeeper has traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years, accustomed to seeing people's hearts, understanding the nameless thoughts, he confessed: "I think the sincerity between people is very important, outsiders call me Cen shopkeeper, Jianghu people call me lame, retired to the rivers and lakes for 20 years, back to the Northern Han Dynasty to operate and gather friends for 18 years, I have heard about Chen Pingping, and I also know your existence, now I have a fate with you, I am the master, you are a guest, and you are also a friend." ”

Nameless took off the hat, noticed that the left leg of the shopkeeper Cen was a wooden prosthetic leg, the words were not deceitful, and then think about the word (friend), if it is true, it is very hurtful to live up to his kindness, if it is fake, it will be known, Nameless sat down, smelled the dishes and felt normal, so he picked up the chopsticks and feasted, and the embarrassed eating made the Cen shopkeeper happy.

"Eat more, and when you're done, you're on your way. ”

"Poof~" Nameless squirted out rice grains, almost stuck by the fish bones, but fortunately, Cen Zhang hurriedly patted his back and made him spit out the fish bones, and read in a hoarse voice: "Send me on the road?

"It's not a good thing that you're more suspicious than your peers. Shopkeeper Cen continued with a smile: "On the road is to leave the Northern Han Dynasty, don't stay any longer, especially Luoyang is very dangerous. ”

Nameless didn't eat much, he was scared a lot, he wanted to go back to Yanguo, but his relationship with Sima Li changed from deterioration to reconciliation, and in the short term, he would not be retaliated against, so he asked suspiciously: "Where is the danger?"

The night is not quiet, someone knocks on the door of Juyouju, Cen shopkeeper shouts to close and rest, if you go back to the guest room, go up the stairs from the side of the inn. When the disturbance ended, the shopkeeper Cen drank and replied: "Even if you escape the official wrongdoing, you can't escape the killing order." ”

"Kill the day?"

One thing subsided, and the other happened, the nameless and embarrassing fate was like endless scars, he was young and had not yet entered the WTO, and he didn't understand the affairs of the Northern Han Dynasty at all, on the contrary, the shopkeeper Cen was a little sad, afraid that the nameless would die tragically on the side of the street, and patiently explained: "You killed the famous swordsman Xiao Yan of the Northern Han Dynasty, but you offended thousands of Northern Han swordsmen, they all respected and worshiped Xiao Yan, and regarded Xiao Yan as the pride of the Northern Han swordsmen......"

"What kind of person is Xiao Yan!"

Nameless brain ached faintly, he wanted an answer, the shopkeeper Cen looked at the old signboard and said: "Everyone looks at Xiao Yan differently, I have the impression that he is from a proud family, but he is not as drunk and gold-obsessed as a gentleman, on the contrary, he is simple and natural to make friends from all walks of life, often talking about ideals in Juyouju, drinking heavily, fighting grievances, and supporting Lezhu." ”

The shopkeeper Cen remembered the past, smiled, and continued: "I have the impression that he is from the authentic sword school, his father is Xiao Yuan, the swordsman of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he is also a famous swordsman of the Northern Han Dynasty, but he is not as proud as other swordsmen, no one in his eyes, he doesn't care about his identity, he is approachable, easy to learn and teach, and more importantly, he is diligent, he is obsessed with practicing swords, in order to seek sword power, he has been running all over the southeast and northwest regions of Luoyang every day for four years, in order to seek sword speed, he has been ...... every day for four years."

Nameless thought of Xiao Yan, he had mentioned these things, but at that time he didn't think so, he was inexplicably ashamed and very sad, and asked softly: "So what?

The shopkeeper Cen heard the anger in his words and understood the impulse of the young man, he no longer mentioned Xiao Yan's past, but persuaded again: "It is the tradition of swordsmen in the Northern Han Dynasty to kill the day, if a swordsman does something bad that violates the principles of heaven, no matter what his identity is, choose a day, choose a street, and kill him with the sword of everyone, and the deceased will be pierced by ten thousand swords......

"Huh...... Come on, I'll wait!" Nameless smiled disdainfully, this appearance made the shopkeeper Cen dissatisfied, obviously it was a well-intentioned persuasion but in exchange for contempt, from another angle, he didn't understand Nameless's experience, and he didn't understand that Nameless was not to blame for coming to a desperate situation, but was forced out by reality.

"In the entire Northern Han Dynasty Luoyang, only Juyouju can take you in, only I can, they don't dare to touch a hair of you, but...... After a good night's sleep, tomorrow you will leave and you will not be able to live any more. The shopkeeper Cen sighed helplessly, he used his power to protect his friends, and he had to issue an eviction order, Nameless was very grateful, this meal was really humane.

"Thank you, old man. ”

The three words of the old man made the shopkeeper Cen happy, how could he not have been young and enthusiastic, how could he not have been dominant.

The past is with the wind, and it is unbearable to look back.

The door lock on the stairs of the hall was opened, and after Nameless entered the room, he found a sword, two notes, and three thick books on the table, which were the swords used before (which was later taken by Taifu Yang Yang, claiming to unlock the lock of the Western Regions on the hilt of the sword).

Two notes, the front note reads, "Nameless, the old man unlocked the lock for you, there is a secret creed inside, you also have to unravel the truth of the tiger gate for the old man, if you can find the whereabouts of the strange sword and the famous sword, it is better." The note read, "Nameless, kill Li Jian before the summer solstice, otherwise Chen Pingping will die a tragic death!"

Three thick books, books on identifying the types of long swords, improving the cultivation of swordsmen, and improving the will of swordsmen, are very useful.

Obviously, the book was sent by Taifu Yang Yang, on the contrary, the sword was left by Li Baitai's subordinates, at this time, Nameless solved his doubts, and when Nameless escorted the princess back to the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Baitai set up a bureau, with the purpose of using Chen Pingping as a threat to force himself to assassinate the fourth prince Li Jian and kill people for him.

Late at night, it is still restless, the Northern Han Dynasty can't stay for a long time, if you want to save Chen Pingping, you must kill Li Jian, the key is at this moment, you can't wait for the summer solstice, and there is no better opportunity.

Nameless, who was deeply in conflict, had no choice, he packed his luggage, changed into a black invisibility cloak, covered his face, picked up his sword and jumped out of the window to leave the inn, and went to King Ning's Mansion in the Eastern District.

Nameless came to the outside of the study, through the window can see the figure printed by candlelight, although blurred, but the appearance looks like the fourth prince Li Jian, Nameless trembled, slowly pulled out the sword, he understood that there was only one chance, after the assassination, he fled from the Northern Han!
