Volume 1 Chapter 14 A Sword and a Grudge
At night, the capital of the Snow Wolf Kingdom is the Black City Palace.
"What kind of illness did the queen have, why did she suddenly faint?" Liu Yuanhai, the snow wolf king, looked at Yang Yanrong with his eyes closed with a sad face, and eagerly asked the old lady who was diagnosing the pulse.
This old lady has a childish face, silver hair, but her complexion is extremely ruddy, and her eyes are bright, which shows that her daily maintenance is very good. He finished cutting the pulse for Yang Yanrong, nodded and stroked his snow-white beard, and took two steps back from the bed before kneeling respectfully in front of Liu Yuanhai and said, "The veins of the queen's phoenix body are fluent and smooth as a ball." ”
Liu Yuanhai didn't know the medical theory, he heard it inexplicably, and he was even more anxious, and asked, "Doctor Fan, you can be clear!"
Seeing that Liu Yuanhai's face was red and swollen, Imperial Doctor Fan was obviously impatient, smiled and raised his hands and clenched his fists and said loudly, "The queen is happy, congratulations to my ......."
"Oh, oh, the Joy Pulse...... The queen conceived a child for the widow...... Hahaha!" Liu Yuanhai jumped up, his eyes fell on the handsome Yang Yanrong, his heart was full of joy, he couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed and hold her hand, grinning softly, "Queen, did you hear it......?"
Liu Yuanhai screamed a few times, and saw that Yang Yanrong's chest and abdomen were gently rising and falling, but he didn't react, and showed a worried face.
"Tell my king, the queen is a phoenix body is tired, take good supplements, and you can recover in a few days of recuperation!" Imperial Doctor Fan saw that Liu Yuanhai came back to his senses, and then instructed, "The queen is pregnant now, so she can't worry and work too much, otherwise she will ......."
"Bold and cheap, the widow specially asked you to serve the queen well, why is she still worried about hard work?" Liu Yuanhai heard this, and suddenly got up and shouted angrily.
The four maidservants in the dormitory were so frightened that they knelt down together, lying on the ground and not daring to move. One of the more gorgeously dressed chieftain maids reported softly in a panic, "Your Majesty, the four slaves and maids follow Niangniang's side every day, and they never dare to slack off, but they ...... Just ......"
"Just what?" asked Liu Yuanhai.
"It's just that Niangniang often dreams at night, and every time she wakes up from a frightened dream, she eagerly keeps reading Ru'er, Ru'er...... The slave and maid did not know what the queen was referring to, and they did not dare to ask lightly. The chief's maidservant trembled and bowed her head back.
"Hmph, it's also a capital offense to wait for you to know and not report it......" Liu Yuanhai glanced at several handmaidens like cannibalism.
"King, it's none of their business, please don't forgive them......" Yang Yanrong was awakened by his roar, and hurriedly pleaded.
"Queen, wake up, slow down!" Liu Yuanhai bowed down, helped her sit up with concern, and said, "They didn't take care of you, how can they spare ......"
"The king!" Yang Yanrong coughed twice and said softly, "A few of them have been following the concubines for several years, and they have always been considerate, and they implore the king to open up the net......"
"The widow is the queen!" Liu Yuanhai held her hands, as if holding a piece of treasure jade for fear of falling to the ground at any time.
Imperial Physician Fan on the side was also shocked into a cold sweat, and said to a few servant girls on the ground, "You guys haven't thanked the king and queen soon!"
"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your grace!" the four women kowtowed together.
Liu Yuanhai personally fed Yang Yanrong a bowl of astragalus codonopsis soup, waited for her to sleep before moving to the side hall, and ordered his guards to say, "Go find Wang Mengsun and Han Manzi, and let them enter the palace immediately to see the widow!"
Han Manzi, originally from the Central Plains, was exiled to the north due to war when he was young, and was accepted as his godson by Liu Yuanhai. Han Manzi has been gifted since he was a child, and he realized the long-lost "three-point swordsmanship" from the books of the sword immortal Ruan, since he was sixteen years old, he has challenged and defeated the masters of the wolf clan and the famous martial arts figures in Mobei, because of his extremely fast moves, the opponent can't even see the shadow of the sword clearly and loses, so it is called "shadowless fast sword". He is not only strong in martial arts, and has made contributions to helping Liu Yuanhai unify the northern wolf clan, but also has a handsome appearance and dignified appearance, which has attracted the admiration of many women in the Snow Wolf Country, and the Sui Yue of the nobles of the Xue Yu is one of them! At the age of fifteen, the love of the Yue Yue was first opened, and he fell in love with Han Manzi at first sight, but it was a pity that Han Manzi was obsessed with sword practice at that time and had no intention of beauty. In order to get close to his beloved, he did not hesitate to learn swordsmanship from Han Manzi, and spontaneously formed an assassin group, intending to establish a career to attract the attention of the other party. Now, Han Manzi has become a veritable No. 1 master of the Snow Wolf Country, and the Yupu Regiment of the Snow Wolf Country has also become the No. 1 assassination organization in the Snow Wolf Country, but his attitude towards her is still just like a master and apprentice.
"Barbarian, the widow wants you to go to the Central Plains. Liu Yuanhai sighed and said to Han Manzi, like a royal order, but also like a pleading.
Han Manzi clenched his fists, looked at his godfather's frowning expression, guessed that summoning him late at night must be of great importance, and said respectfully, "The king has a life, and Weichen must be there!"
"Hmm!" Liu Yuanhai nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You have only one purpose for this trip, which is to bring the queen's daughter Sima Ru back, and make sure that she is safe and sound, and I believe that you can do this well." ”
"Yes. Han Manzi clenched his fists and nodded in response.
"Prime Minister Zhang, you Feige sent a letter to Zhang Mengbin, and asked him to help with this matter. Liu Yuanhai turned his head to Zhang Mengsun and said.
"The old minister obeys the order!" Zhang Mengsun bowed and said, and then raised his head to observe the words and colors, "The moon is in the Central Plains, do you want to ......?"
"The Yupu regiment has its own tasks, so there is no need to alarm the Yuyue Moon. Liu Yuanhai looked at Zhang Mengsun and said, and then looked at Han Manzi in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Mengsun also looked at Han Manzi and nodded knowingly. The Snow Wolf King understands Yu Yuyue's feelings for Han Manzi, and also understands that she is eager to make meritorious contributions, and is worried that she will use Sima Ru to complete the assassination mission, if she learns that Han Manzi has also arrived in the Central Plains, I am afraid that there will be more trouble.
In the evening of a summer night, the old house of the Cao family in Fuzhou. A dark shadow swept across the roof of the front yard, followed by four shadows behind him.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" I saw that in the Cao family's mourning hall, a man dressed in linen and filial piety was sitting on the ground with a candle flame wiping his sword, it was Cao Shubao.
"Hmph, do you know we're going to kill you, so I'm here to die?" the black shadow led by him jumped down, stood in the open space in front of the door with his sword and laughed loudly, and the other four people also fell behind him and laughed.
"Jiao divides the shadow, and the goose forgets to return. Cao Shubao ignored the mockery, got up and looked at the five people in front of the door and said lightly, "You are holding the Chengying Sword, and you are one of the seven kills of the Yupu Regiment, and they are the Eight Annihilations of Sekong, Yuyue, Qingshuang, and Sizhao." ”
It turned out to be Chengying, one of the seven killings of the Yupu group, and according to the order of Yu Yuyue, he returned here to assassinate Cao Shubao again with the remaining four people of the Eight Annihilations.
Cao Shubao's eyes were full of red silk, and he walked out of the door with a green slug in his hand, stopped about three zhang away from Chengying, and gritted his teeth with a cold look in his eyes, "The wolf clan covets the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and sent your Yupu group to kill my grandmother, more than 30 lives of my Fuzhou Cao family, this blood debt, I will use a few of your heads and blood to repay the interest tonight!"
After hearing this, Chengying looked up to the sky and laughed: "What do you think you are, you think that you can go to heaven by killing that fool with a broken sword, and you can go to heaven?"
On June 15, when the moon was in the sky, I saw Cao Shubao, Chengying and others confronting each other angrily, and both sides stopped talking.
Cao Shubao thought to himself, "That day, I killed Daju, if I didn't win with a flick of my fingers, there would be a vicious fight." Although after that day, my martial arts have made great progress, but Chengying seems to be much more skilled than Daju, if I try to compete with Chengying, I don't have much chance of winning, but no matter what, I must kill them tonight!"
Chengying pondered, "Even if Cao Shubao's skill advances to the middle heaven and he is arrogant with the Qingyu Sword in his hand, after all, I am a lot of people, so there is no need to be afraid of you, not to mention that my skill is a cut above him." ”
He deliberately didn't do it first just to gain insight into the surroundings to see if Cao Shubao had a large number of helpers in ambush, and found that Cao Shubao was actually alone here, so he couldn't help but relax in his heart, and said with contempt: "You might as well open your eyes wide and wipe the bright spots, but watch me play with this eldest prince Cao." ”
Chengying's strength ranks third in the Seven Kills, he has always been arrogant and arrogant in front of these juniors of the Eight Destructions, and when he turns around to speak, he clasps his chest with his hands and his chin tilts up, which is also a self-respecting posture. The four behind him all nodded and replied, "Yes, we just happened to learn the subtle swordsmanship of Lord Chengying." ”
Cao Shubao took advantage of the moment he turned around, the right hand holding the sword twitched, choked out of the sheath, the sword light flickered and fused with the moonlight, and he walked quickly, and in an instant, he was only a foot away from Chengying, his eyes burst with the fire of hatred, and he stared at Chengying's neck.
Chengying's gaze turned right, but he was not surprised, but smiled and thought, "Hmph, this kid is really hooked, look at my move 'Soul Destroying Mountain', take out the sword and slash from the bottom to the top, and in an instant, his abdomen and throat are rotten, and all the internal organs flow out, and a sword is revenge!"
Chengying pressed his fingers on the hilt of the sword, and when he was about to draw the sword out of the sheath, Cao Shubao snorted coldly, and suddenly jumped into the air, and one churned forward and quickly took out the sword to Chengying's heart. It's weird, unexpected, and incredibly fast. After all, Chengying has experienced a hundred battles, so he immediately turned from attack to defense, holding the sword in his right hand and backing it, confident that he could easily take down this sword. What's even more unexpected is that Cao Shubao only flicked away the Chengying Sword with his left hand, and his right hand turned to swing out the sword qi, and he kicked on the ground, swept two feet, and Yu Yue and Qingshuang fell to the ground instantly!
Sekong and Sizhao were stunned in disbelief at first, and then immediately drew their swords and put on guard. Chengying turned around, and noticed that the two who fell to the ground had lost their breath, and his eyes fell on the mediocre-looking Cao Shubao two feet away, and only then did he understand that the other party was striking at the west, and unexpectedly picked a soft persimmon and pinched it. He didn't expect that he deliberately exposed his flaws, and the other party not only saw through it, but also calculated it, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, and he shouted, "It's my negligence for a while, this kid is scheming." You two come with me and tear him to pieces!"
