Chapter 19: A Rain of Swords

The young woman ran to the river outside the city, and when she saw that no one was chasing her, her steps became lighter. She is Tang Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the thief saint, who has practiced light skills since childhood, after the death of the thief saint, Tang Xiaoxiao inherited his father's business, and in addition to the thief king Yi Wentong on the rivers and lakes, she Tang Xiaoxiao's light skills are unique in the world. Of course, these are only speculations on the level of the previous thieves, but judging from Tang Xiaoxiao's name "Goddess Night Walking, Phantom Ecstasy", light skills are by no means beyond the reach of ordinary people.

By the river, a raft and an old man in plain clothes were bending down to support the boat, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately became excited when he saw it: "Boat family, can you cross the river?"

Dare to say that Wan found that something was wrong, and in front of a tree not far away, an old man was ordered to sit there.

I saw that the boatman had taken off his plain clothes, dressed in white, and threw the pole ashore, turned around and said with a smile: "What river to cross, you have to go to Saibei with me." ”

"You ......" Tang Xiaoxiao knew that the comer was not good, and was just about to run back, but the other party's hat had already flown over, Tang Xiaoxiao tossed upward, and the hat returned to the man's hand. This person is the swordsman in the drunken dream building.

The swordsman also went ashore and wrote lightly: "You came to Taiping City to steal this white frost jade, and you didn't inquire about the road conditions first. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao quietly took a few steps back and said, "I have been mixing in Jiangnan before, where have I ever been in the north." But you're also smart, so you've been waiting for me for a long time. ”

"Just for a moment. The swordsman was in his chest, and stretched out his hand towards Tang Xiaoxiao: "Take it out." ”

"What to take?" Tang Xiaoxiao tightened his waist: "If this girl hadn't been lazy just now, how could she have let you meet it." If you have the ability, you come and grab it. After Tang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he immediately performed light skills and flew towards the nearby bamboo forest.

The swordsman did not show weakness and chased after him.

Chasing into the depths of the dense forest, several darts suddenly shot out in front of him, and the swordsman gently raised his sword and swung it, and these darts scattered in all directions.

"If you chase me again, I'm welcome. Tang Xiaoxiao's magnetic voice came from the bamboo forest.

"Are you just going to use hidden weapons?" the swordsman stopped, he knew that Tang Xiaoxiao wanted to get rid of him.

"Light martial arts, don't make a secret weapon compete with you?"

The swordsman sneered and drew out his sword, this is a very delicately crafted sword, the scabbard is no different from the scabbard of an ordinary sword, but the sword is engraved with a hundred patterns, which is also peculiar.

"You know, the sword is much better than your escape. The swordsman said.

Tang Xiaoxiao was unconvinced: "Come on, you are not a sword saint." Now you can't even find me on any bamboo. ”

"Do you think my move is better than the Sword Master?" The swordsman jumped into the air, and a sword slashed down, and the bamboo leaves flew one after another, and this sword turned into countless sword qi and filled the surroundings. Not far away, Tang Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to escape, but was scratched by a sharp sword qi, and the whole person fell down from mid-air, covering his feet and calling over there.

The swordsman walked towards Tang Xiaoxiao with a smug face and said, "What, are you convinced?"

Tang Xiaoxiao looked arrogant: "What is there to be convinced, you just bully a weak woman like this." ”

The swordsman looked at Tang Xiaoxiao's feet and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I just scraped your skin and shocked your foot bones, it's okay to take a rest, and I won't kill you." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao still had a complaining face, and the swordsman took out a small wine jug from his waist and threw it to Tang Xiaoxiao: "Let's take it and drink it first." ”

Tang Xiaoxiao took the wine jug, got up and staggered to an unbroken bamboo, sat up, tasted the wine and said, "Wine is good wine, but you are not a good person." ”

"How I'm not a good person. ”

"You're aiding and abetting. Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Do you know why I stole this white frost jade?"

"Tell me about it. ”

"A few years ago, I saved a girl whose parents were dead in a brothel in Minzhou. At that time, Qi Weiyuan was still the governor of Minzhou, and their family happened to recruit servants. At that time, I was thinking that the Qi family was everyone, and the local reputation was also good, and I also sneaked into their house to ask about the situation of the next person in their house. It is said that they are treated like family. So I let the little girl in and sat in the ring. But who knows, people's hearts are unpredictable, thousands of calculations, I didn't count that Qi Weiyuan had such a brute son, who made this little girl's belly bigger, and didn't want to give her a name, how could there be such a shameless thing in the world. ”

"So you're going to let out the word to grab the White Frost Jade?"

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "Fortunately, God gave his son retribution, and he was actually shot by the poisonous arrows of the Northern Barbarians in the Saibei Pass." Lao Tzu was originally a civil official, and his son wanted to practice martial arts, which was simply a retribution arranged by God. ”

"You only show that you don't want his son to be poisoned to death, and you are giving them a step. ”

Tang Xiaoxiao took another sip of wine and said, "Why not, this girl has given birth to children, and she can't be without a father." ”

"Where's this girl now?"

"In the city. ”

The swordsman suddenly smiled: "So you expected me to come." ”

"I didn't expect it, and I didn't expect to send you, a little-known person in the rivers and lakes. Tang Xiaoxiao disagreed: "I thought that he was a dignified governor of Saibei, so he had to find a famous master to arrest me, but just now seeing your dress, I really can't think of any master like you in the rivers and lakes." ”

The swordsman smiled heartily: "Also, I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. ”

"Who the hell are you?" Tang Xiaoxiao also had a strong curiosity: "That trick just now, if you are not a swordsman, you can't use it at all." ”

"Have you heard of the rain of swords?"

"You're a Juggernaut?"

The swordsman nodded, but Tang Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said, "Come on, the Sword Saint Xiao Lang has disappeared a long time ago." And now it should be forty or fifty. His sword, his complexion, is not as delicate as yours. ”

The swordsman snorted and said, "Then you don't think that trick just now is not like a rain of swords?"

"The sword rain in the sky is just a legend of the rivers and lakes, I was only a few years old at the time, and I haven't seen it. Tang Xiaoxiao drank the last sip of wine, and suddenly threw the wine jug, and took off his hat with one hand while the swordsman was dodging.

The swordsman touched his head, and it was a little unnatural. Tang Xiaoxiao also frowned when he saw his appearance: "I thought you were a woman." With that, he threw the hat to the swordsman.

The swordsman smiled bitterly and put on his hat again: "How can a woman have gray hair like me." ”

"Yes. Tang Xiaoxiao disagreed: "But your complexion and voice are a bit girly." ”

"Because of this, I walked the rivers and lakes, so I didn't want to show my face more. ”

"If you put a black veil on the hat again, it will be really mysterious. ”

The swordsman said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the Governor's Palace. ”

"No, I can't. Tang Xiaoxiao said: "You must guarantee my safety." ”

"Don't worry, I'm talking a little bit of weight. ”

"And that girl, I want the Qi family to give an explanation. ”

"No problem, I'm not used to it. ”
