Chapter 164: Chang'an City, I'm here
In the distance, the sun set, Wang'an Town became darker and darker, between those gray-black branches, suddenly a gust of wind hit for no reason, the new shoots on the branches swayed in the distance, and some old leaves on the ground were rolled up, rustling, and then falling one after another.
There was an old man dressed in a simple robe, with a faint sheen on his body, and a short knife floating beside him, shining as he walked slowly, like a glimpse of the sky with a touch of red.
Yue Yan felt oppressed for the first time, and for no reason there was a burst of fear in his heart, he hurriedly stopped, stared at the old man tightly, and arched his hand: "Six doors catch the head Yue Yan, I have seen my predecessors. โ
The old man was speechless, but he was even deeper.
The other six doors also noticed that something was wrong, including Zhang Zhihuan and a group of soldiers, all stopped, drew their weapons as soon as possible, and became vigilant.
Zhang Zhihuan looked at Yue Yan and said softly, "What's wrong?"
A little cold sweat broke out on Yue Yan's forehead, and he said, "This is a master, I'm afraid it's friend or foe!"
Zhang Zhihuan looked at the old man and saluted: "Old man, we are officials of the imperial court, and we are ordered to enter Beijing, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
The old man slowly spoke, "Qin Tianjian Ning Qing!"
Zhang Zhihuan breathed a long sigh of relief, it was good that he was from the imperial court, so he said: "It turned out to be Lord Ning, I don't know, is there something wrong with you?"
Ning Qing didn't move, but the true qi fluctuations in that circle and circle disturbed the air, and the vitality of heaven and earth quickly gathered, and he said coldly: "Zhang Zhihuan, the county guard of Langya County, and Yue Yan, the head of the six gates, you are here to commit perjury when you enter Beijing!"
Yue Yan and Zhang Zhihuan both realized the problem and hurriedly explained: "Lord Ning, we don't know what you said, we just entered Beijing by order. โ
Ning Qing didn't hear it, and said to himself: "In the battle of Changling County, thousands of men died on the battlefield, the county respected Gu Qing and almost died in Huangquan several times, and the county Cheng Ma Shilian sacrificed in order to snipe the Northern Desert, and his whole body was nailed to the city wall, and thousands of families have been broken since then, but they have no hesitation and move forward, just to protect their families and defend the country, just to be able to return the peace of the people of Daxia, they are all true heroes!"
"However, just because of the lack of greed of some people, these heroes are buried in the yellow sand, but they can't get the honor they deserve, their families can't get the protection they deserve, and even the real good men, the real heroes are facing the assassination in a panic, and as the two officials who know the truth best, you are in the same stream, so you should be punished!"
As Ning Qing's last two words spit out, Yue Yan immediately shouted: "Run, this is a great cultivator!"
However, at the same moment, a knife roared, attacking at high speed, and halfway through, the tip of a soldier's spear was directly shattered by a touch, and along an arc, it could not be stopped by a distance of dozens of meters, and it hit Yue Yan accurately and coldly, this Hooded Qi Realm martial artist.
Yue Yan was the first to escape, but he was also the first to be locked, at that moment, the deadly threat came in a steady stream, he hurriedly raised the knife to resist, but at the moment of touching, the waist knife directly broke a hole, a heavy and muffled sound, Yue Yan's eyes widened, his throat was broken, and a bloody hole emerged.
Yue Yan's body trembled and fell directly to the ground.
The short knife flew back, floating, Ning Qing looked at Yue Yan's corpse, and faintly: "The corpse is a vegetarian meal, a dignified Qi Realm martial artist, no matter how bad it is, it won't even be able to take a blow from me, but he just thinks about escaping, and he doesn't even have the basic consciousness of a martial artist, such a person, the consciousness of a martial artist has been devoured!"
Ning Qing sighed as he dragged up his right hand, the short knife was three inches above the palm of his hand, and it swept coldly over the others, those six door catchers and soldiers had already lost their belief in fighting, and the four words of the great cultivator were like a big mountain, so that people couldn't raise their heads.
Zhang Zhihuan was a pure scholar, he had never felt the oppression of death so closely, his face turned pale with fright, and he roared hysterically: "Ning Qing, do you want to zร ofวn? You have no power to dispose of us, and you have no evidence ......"
Another sword shadow, agile like a ghost, like lightning drew a rounded arc in the air, swept over again, unable to catch it at all, and in an instant, a "bang" sounded across Zhang Zhihuan's throat.
Blood beads slowly fell in the air, and Zhang Zhihuan's expression was exactly the same as Yue Yan's, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Everyone panicked, especially those soldiers who came from the Six Gates, they didn't know if Ning Qing would kill people, and they didn't feel that they had a chance to escape at the hands of this great cultivator.
However, they panicked, they were sweating, but Ning Qing slowly turned around and slowly walked towards the capital, walking slowly step by step, indeed quite slowly, looking up at the capital, Ning Qing raised his head and said softly: "Lord Gu, I'm afraid that's all I can do for you." โ
"I didn't stand up for you to clarify for the first time, this is that I am sorry for you, but I don't want to be sorry for the princess, so yes, I am silent, but, during this time, I will always think of that young scholar, he is a county magistrate of Changling County, a very polite, courteous and polite, when he rode his horse and rushed outside the city wall, I didn't have time to save him, but I knew that he must have been smiling when he died. โ
"In those days, no matter how bad the situation was, he always had no hesitation, he often said, 'But let the Daxia man be here, don't teach Hu Ma to do this mountain', yes, he is a good man, a real hero, a true hero like you!"
............
The capital, at night, is still prosperous, even more lively than during the day, in an inn, there is a woman leaning against the window.
"Holy Maiden," said to the elder: "The news has come, Gu Shaoxia actually really won, and now the news has come out of Fengmanlou, twelve great cultivators, dozens of Qi Realm martial artists, and thousands of worldly martial artists are besieging, Gu Shaoxia has actually won!"
Mo Lanying smiled indifferently and said lightly: "What if he loses?"
Elder Xiang was puzzled, "Is the Holy Maiden so optimistic about Gu Shaoxia?"
Mo Lanying shook his head and muttered: "It's not that I'm optimistic, but he shouldn't have died, his life was the beginning of the capital, how could he die before he came to the capital, and now it seems that although there are some deviations, they are still following the established route, the Book of Heaven should be no problem, but why is there a deviation?"
Elder Xiang looked at Mo Lanying who was muttering, and sighed, they, the holy woman, were afraid that they would be hopeless, so they muttered a few words from time to time, and the words they said were also strange, making people scratch their heads.
"Sword riddle Qin Keqing, shouldn't have anything to do with Gu Qingci, and neither should the piano idiot, I remember that the Book of Heaven recorded a girl named Tsing Yi, why didn't this Tsing Yi appear? This Gu Qingci ...... It can't be a book flipper, and no book flipper dares to disrupt this general trend, so what's wrong?"
Looking at the Holy Maiden, who seemed to have fallen into a daze again, she shook her head at the elder and said, "Holy Maiden, I have been observing the Ma family for the past few days and found a very strange problem. โ
Mo Lanying turned her head and asked, "What's the problem?" โ
"Recently, there has been an additional head catcher in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, which was personally sent in by Ma Dongyang. Said to the elders.
"Is there any problem? The Ma family is so big, it's normal to bring a few relatives or something!" Mo Lanying said.
Elder Xiang shook his head and said, "This kind of thing, generally speaking, it is impossible for Ma Dongyang to ask about it personally, I thought it was strange, so I went to investigate, and found that the person was from the 100,000 Great Mountain, and it is said that Gu Shaoxia had also been in the 100,000 Great Mountain for a long time before, you say, will there be any connection between this?"
Mo Lanying raised her eyebrows, a smile appeared on her face, two dimples appeared, she stood up suddenly, and said, "Otherwise, let's go and kill that person, and then torture him!"
............
In a corner of the capital, there was a tavern, and there were only two guests in this tavern, an old man dressed in shabby clothes, dirty, with two old yellow teeth exposed, and a knife hanging from his waist.
The other is also an old man, but he is dressed in a white Confucian robe, fairy wind and bones, clean and concise, with a clear face, a white beard on his chin that flutters lightly with the night breeze, and a gentle smile on his face, just like an ordinary old man next door, but a little less old.
The image and temperament of the two old men are completely different, one with a knife, the other with a book in his hand, and they don't look like people who can have a common language, but at this time, they sit together.
If Gu Qingci was here, he didn't know how shocked he would be, he knew both of them.
The person with the knife was Yan Bo, the old man who always smiled and discussed Qin Keqing's good life with Gu Qingci, and the other person, Gu Qingci's predecessor had the honor to meet once, that was when he was in the capital during the scientific expedition, he had seen it once, this old man is the spiritual leader of today's scholars, the great Confucian - Mr. Wuji.
Gu Qingci's name is derived from Mr. Wuji's two poems.
A world-famous, unparalleled Confucian, a big man who dared to point at the emperor's nose and scold on the Jinluan Palace, and a bad old man who worked as an errand boy in a small county office, but he seemed to be very familiar, drinking together, talking and laughing together.
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Wufeng put the book in his pocket and asked, "I said Brother Dao, you have been in hiding for decades, and this sudden appearance in the capital doesn't mean that you want to make something happen, right?"
Uncle Yan waved his hand and said, "Old and old, in a blink of an eye, we are all old, and if we want to make trouble, it's not my time to make trouble, it's all young people's world." โ
Mr. Wufeng stroked his beard and said, "As long as Brother Dao doesn't make trouble, I'll be relieved." โ
Yan Bo said angrily: "It seems that I love to make trouble." โ
"Just this Chang'an City, when you were young, you made trouble several times, right?" Wu Que smiled faintly.
Yan Bo shook his head, took a sip of wine, and said, "Nothing is missing, do you still recognize my favor back then?"
"Admit it," Mr. Wufeng nodded and said: "In order to fulfill me, you took the knife in the last move, and then came out of the rivers and lakes for decades, how can I not admit it?"
Yan Bo sighed and said, "That's good, I have a junior, maybe you have heard of it, called Gu Qingci, that kid has a tendon, easy to cause trouble, I am worried that he will suffer, when the time comes, I will thank you for taking care of him!"
Mr. Wufeng frowned and said, "You're leaving?"
"It's leaving, it's been decades, it's time to take a look. โ
"Are you sure?"
"Nope!"
............
The morning sun is slowly rising, the green trees are blue, intertwined with each other, there is sunlight through the scattered leaves sprinkled golden light, the light beams should shine on the ground, as if the stars in the sky have fallen into the mortal world, there are peach blossoms, when there is no wind quietly falling.
A few horses galloped on the official road, and a majestic city was seen in the distance.
Gu Qingci reined in his horse, stopped and looked at the city from afar, and said lightly: "It's finally here!"
Qin Keqing rode his horse, also stopped, looked at Gu Qingci, and said, "Do you want to kill it directly?"
Gu Qingci's hands shook in fright, and said, "My aunt, how much do you can't think about it?"
Qin Keqing didn't speak, just stood next to Gu Qingci, looking at Gu Qingci quietly, at this time, Liu Yiqing rode over slowly, and said, "Big brother, what, do you have a lot of emotion?"
The piano idiot followed Liu Yiqing, still holding the piano, looked at Gu Qingci thoughtfully, and then turned his head to look at Liu Yiqing, did not speak, just played the piano gently, the sound of the piano was few, resounding in the sky, although it was only a sound, but it was majestic and heavy.
Liu Yiqing suddenly slapped his face and said, "I finally know what is almost something?"
As he was talking, the momentum on Liu Yiqing's body changed, and a touch of sword intent rose into the sky, and the pedestrians around him felt invisible oppression at this moment, and a sword shadow could be faintly seen floating in the air
Gu Qingci did not speak, but communicated spiritually on the system.
"System, designated lottery, swordsmanship!"
"Congratulations to the host, the chivalrous Ye Gucheng has been drawn into the world, and he has his own swordsmanship flying immortals, and he has been familiar with it for thirty years, do you want to extract and fuse?"
Gu Qingci was slightly excited in his heart, it seemed that he had very good luck today, looking at the Baiyun City Lord on the system page, he immediately said silently in his heart:
"Fusion!"
There was a qi that suddenly emanated from Gu Qingci's body, and quickly condensed, as if thousands of invisible swords suddenly appeared in the sky, obscuring the sky light, it was a sword, a city, and a person!
Qin Keqing burst out of his own sword intent at the same time, but they all looked at Gu Qingci with some shock, this sword intent, they were very unfamiliar, but no one asked, outside Chang'an City, at this moment, there was a sound of a piano, pleasant to the ear, but faster and faster, as if the dense heavy rain was majestic, and all kinds of dust were escaping.
Xiongcheng is in front, the originally sunny sky, but suddenly seems to have become a thousand miles of dark clouds, the sky is chaotic, forming a whirlpool, in the city, someone raised his head, heard the sound of the piano, and saw that there were three swords in the sky outside the city.
The seven riddles of the world, the sword riddles, the drunkard, the piano, on this day, visit the capital, this will be a grand event in the rivers and lakes, this is the unique power he asked, covering the world.
On that day, there were peach blossoms blooming, there were Mo Shangren like jade, the son was unparalleled, and Gu Qingci looked at the three words on the city wall - Chang'an City!
"Chang'an City, I'm here!"
