Chapter 2: Assassination

The servants and maids in the house made a noise of "where, where?" and "Where is the young lady?" ”

This made Su Jinghuai embarrassed. At this time, Li Shi walked over and asked with a serious face, "What's going on?"

"This, I didn't fall asleep last night, and when I had nothing to do, I went out of the house and saw that this girl was seriously injured. Su Jinghuai said at a loss.

Li waved his hand to let the servants and maids disperse, and said to Xing'er, "Go and help this girl find a room to settle down in." ”

Dai Mei frowned slightly, looked sideways at Su Jinghuai and said, "Huai'er followed me into the house and talked to me carefully." ”

Closing the door, Li asked unhappily: "You and I have a good talk, what is going on with this girl?" Su Jinghuai told Li about the previous trip to the mountain.

When Li Shi heard this, he felt that this matter was bizarre, and said to himself: "Is there really a god in the world?" Li asked Su Jinghuai, this girl, what are you going to do?

Su Jinghuai replied hesitantly: "Just settle her down first, and the girl will be making plans after she wakes up." ”

The next day, Su Jinghuai practiced the sword in the mansion, the cloud bamboo sword, a sword and a style seem simple, but the more there is a feeling of integration with the surrounding environment, as if yin and yang are combined, in an instant, the sword is sharp, a shake of the sword made a 'sassy' sound, the combination of sword and body is like flowing water in the mansion.

"Childe's sword intent is close to Dacheng. The girl stood at the door at some point.

"Girl, how are your injuries when you wake up?" asked Su Jinghuai.

"Thank you Gongzi for rescuing, don't call me girl, just call me Jiang Mengke," Jiang Mengke said.

"In the lower Su Jinghuai is taken from the high mountain scenery, the river Huaihan. Su Jinghuai replied.

"Does Su Gongzi plan to use a sword for his weapons in the future?" Jiang Mengke asked.

"Hmm. Su Jinghuai said.

At this time, Jiang Mengke pulled out the sword, and the sword came out of the sheath with a crisp sword sound, Su Jinghuai also saw the sword, the sword body was black, as black as ink, and the name of the sword could not be seen clearly, I saw Jiang Mengke hand the sword in his hand out of his chest, as if he was giving someone someone an invitation, but the long sword in her hand was more charming, and then Jiang Mengke's quick sword 'ding' sound appeared.

At this moment, Su Jinghuai's eyes were only gray and white, and there was a little red figure in the middle of the gray and white, holding a long sword. The color faded, but I found that the red-clothed figure had long been lost in the mansion, leaving only a token of 'Guanhai Tianmen' that looked like gold and non-gold, and looked like wood and not wood.

"If Childe's swordsmanship can stab my sword, it will be when he enters the Tao with a sword, and then he will come to the East China Sea with this token, I should know. Jiang Mengke's voice came from afar, echoing in Su Jinghuai's ears.

At this time, Xing'er ran over while running, and asked curiously, "Childe, where is Miss?"

"Let's go," Su Jinghuai replied.

"Young master, after the old man retired from the dynasty and came back, he said that the Holy Lord would set up an autumn banquet to invite the young sons of the ministers' families to have a martial arts competition, and the young master should dress up in spirit tomorrow, it is said that there seem to be people from the fairy family who do not know whether it is true or false. Xing'er looked at her young master and said.

'Immortal?' Su Jinghuai frowned slightly, thinking suspiciously.

The starry sky at night is still so gorgeous, Su Jinghuai remembered that the sword of the woman in red during the day felt simple from complex, it was really shocking, the world was dazzling, the great Confucian once said that a word could make the country prosperous, and the woman in red felt that she could break the world's martial arts with one sword. Su Jinghuai took out the 'Yunzhu', took advantage of the moonlight and the stars to practice swordsmanship, and experienced Jiang Mengke's sword during the day, which was from complex to simple, and the sound of a sword handing out a sword and taking back the 'Sasa' did not stop for half a night. The noise made Xing'er next door annoyed, so she simply covered her head under the quilt and fell asleep.

The sun rose the next day, after Xing'er helped Su Jinghuai finish dressing. Su Jinghuai smiled and said to Xing'er: "You stay in the mansion today, my son wants to go out for a walk and come back at noon to prepare for the autumn banquet held by His Majesty." After speaking, without waiting for Xing'er to reply, she stepped out and disappeared a few feet away.

"Young master, really, I haven't waited for me to finish speaking. Apricot muttered in her heart.

Su Jinghuai left the mansion and walked on Jin'an Avenue, and what came to his face was all kinds of shouting and selling, the shouts of the second child in the hall, the frolicking sound of Tianxiang Pavilion, and the sound of the heroic words of the children of the rivers and lakes surrounded Su Jinghuai's ears, like a picture of the rivers and lakes like red dust unfolding to Su Jinghuai.

"Su Mansion, it's too quiet, or the sound of the market in the red dust is more suitable for me. Su Jinghuai sighed to himself.

Later generations once said, "There is a son, who misses Hongchen, loves the market, and indulges in the rivers and lakes, and this person's surname is Su." ”

Su Jinghuai walked to a newly opened clothing store 'Yunsi Pavilion', heard the noise of people inside, and walked over curiously, and saw the shopkeeper quarreling with a woman, causing the surrounding crowd to stop and watch.

"Shopkeeper, why is your immortal robe so expensive, it costs fifty taels of silver, this is obviously a black shop. The woman pointed to the shopkeeper with her clothes in one hand and the other hand.

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, what you said is not reasonable, you let everyone comment on it to see if my clothes are worth fifty taels." ”

There are some people around who said: "Fifty taels of silver is too expensive, but today's Great Jin Kingdom is rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

The shopkeeper still looked like he was smiling, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction, his fat face was full of smiles like chrysanthemums blooming, and when he suddenly saw Su Jinghuai, he laughed loudly: "What a handsome boy." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper squeezed out the onlookers and grabbed Su Jinghuai, who was standing on the periphery of the people, and immediately said to Su Jinghuai: "Son, you see if my fairy robe is worth fifty taels, you tell the shopkeeper the truth." ”

Su Jinghuai said politely: "Shopkeeper, my son will come and take a look." ”

After saying this, the people divided into two sides and gave way to the middle road. Su Jinghuai picked up the 'flowing immortal robe', and as soon as he started it, he felt that this dress was weightless, flawless white, and indeed worthy of the name of the flowing immortal, and the embroidery was hibiscus.

Su Jinghuai saw this robe in disguise and asked the boss, "Can this robe have other kits?"

"Childe, yes, yes, please wait a moment. After saying that, the boss ran to the back, and a few drops of sweat were dripping from under his huge body.

The boss took out three jade boxes after a while, and said to Su Jinghuai: "The son is all here." ”

Su Jinghuai took out fifty taels of silver ingots from his arms and put them on the table, turned around and said to the people: "This clothing is indeed worth fifty taels of silver." After speaking, he left the Yunsi Pavilion leisurely, but the surrounding people were in a commotion.

After Su Jinghuai took Jiang Mengke's sword, he could always feel the every move of everyone within three zhang of the surroundings, and he could also feel the flow of the true qi of some martial arts and strong Jianghu people. In an instant, he felt that someone seemed to disappear silently from behind him, which frightened Su Jinghuai with sweat all over his body, and suddenly turned around to see the fat shopkeeper selling the 'flowing fairy robe' to the people around him, and his bloated face was blooming like a chrysanthemum.

"Is it an illusion?" Su Jinghuai thought suspiciously.

In the meantime, Su Jinghuai walked aimlessly on the street, getting closer and closer to the date of returning home for the banquet.

When Su Jinghuai was about to go to Su Mansion, the dangerous aura was getting closer and closer to him, his eyes condensed, and in an instant, the cloud bamboo sword was unsheathed, and Su Jinghuai's wrist shook and blocked back, making the sound of sharp weapons colliding. Seeing that Su Jinghuai stepped on his feet, the slippery cloud bamboo sword took a posture of stabbing forward.

The assassin was dressed in a black night suit, wearing a hat to cover his face, and a blue skull symbol on his chest. They adopted beggars as young as four or five years old or street children as young people and trained them to become assassins, and anyone could assassinate anyone who was entrusted with enough silver taels, including the one sitting on the dragon chair today. A minister in the court was killed, and the Holy Lord was furious and issued an edict to clear the 'Nightless Tower' but failed, and the matter was over.

"Never sleep?" asked Su Jinghuai.

The assassin didn't give Su Jinghuai a chance to speak, and slid forward, stabbing Su Jinghuai straight in the face with the short sword in his hand. When the surrounding people saw this, they bustled and shouted: "In broad daylight, someone is committing murder." ”

Su Jinghuai was between death and life, Jiang Mengke's sword was enlightened, and the sword intent was perfect, and the sword intent was handed out and the assassin's short sword was connected to the 'ding' sword intent, and the white-clothed Su Jinghuai was even more extraordinary in the surrounding sword qi, and the assassin immediately retreated when he saw that the sword was not successful, without a trace of hesitation.

Not far away, there were five people who really stepped on the eaves, tied their ponytails, tied streamers on their foreheads, dressed in black gold-rimmed suits, and carried a goose sword at their waists. One of them drew his sword in mid-air, and the bluestone slabs and bricks on the street were shattered inch by inch.

One of them shouted: "Bold assassin, dare to commit murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he will not be killed quickly." ”

The assassin knew he couldn't escape, and his molars died as soon as he bit it. The five of them looked at Su Jinghuai, who had an extraordinary temperament, and asked, "What family are you?"

Su Jinghuai replied: "In Xia Su Jinghuai, from Taiwei Su Mansion, thank you to a few justices." ”

The one at the head smiled and said: "General Su's sister-in-law, sure enough, his swordsmanship is good, he can hold up in front of the blue-level assassin until we come, and he has already entered the hall a little bit, I am optimistic about your leading position in the autumn banquet held by the saint today, pay attention to safety on the way back to Su Mansion, I will deal with that assassin later." ”

"Thank you to the justices for your concern. Su Jinghuai replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The jade box of the flowing immortal robe was scattered all over the place due to the fight, but just now the sword qi was rampant, but it did not hurt the jade box, this thing is really extraordinary
