Volume 1: The Storm on the River Chapter 11: Those who go north without a doctor will have an edict in the south.
I went to Kyoto, but after all, it was in vain.
Bai Yujing is blind and can't see the prosperity of Shuntianfu. And Li Shizhen, who they were looking for, Ding Maochun inquired again and again to find out that he had resigned and returned to Huguang. Ding Maochun also found some so-called famous doctors in the capital for Bai Yujing, but after some chatting in Bai Yujing, most of them were people who sold their reputations, not to mention curing Bai Yujing's eyes, and I am afraid that the medical skills are not as good as the old monks.
The two had only been in Shuntianfu for less than half a month, so they hurried south to Huguang.
On this day, Bai Yujing and Ding Maochun took advantage of the early morning to leave Nanyang Mansion. It wasn't even noon, and the sky was changing. The dark clouds blew from nowhere, and in an instant they covered the sky. The wind howled, like a mountain ghost roaring. People on the official road cursed the weather, and hurriedly packed their bags again to prevent them from being caught in the rain.
Ding Maochun also hurriedly took Bai Yujing to find a place to shelter from the rain. The two rode a horse and galloped quickly along the official road.
But before he had run two miles, he heard the neighing of a group of horses in the distance, and a group of elite soldiers escorted a prisoner cart to come. In front of the leader is the terrifying Jinyi Guard, all wearing round-necked armor and a goose feather knife at the waist.
The official road here is narrow, and it is lined with dense woods. Seeing this, Ding Maochun had to jump off the horse, forcibly hold the reins of the horse, and stop on the side of the road like those passers-by who couldn't dodge, so that the team of people and horses would go first.
Just as the group of elite soldiers passed by Ding Maochun's official road, Bai Yujing suddenly swept off his horse and threw Ding Maochun to the ground. Before Ding Maochun came back to his senses, several sharp sounds of "swishing ......" came from the sky, and dozens of dark darts were shot out of the dense forest.
"Ah......h
The team of elite soldiers suddenly screamed endlessly, and Ding Maochun looked at the person not far in front of him, the dart stuck in his forehead looked like a small hand-held sword with a ring on the top. Looking at the man again, his face was blue, and the place where he was hit by the dart was a large area black, obviously poisoned.
Ding Maochun couldn't help but gasp, but he recognized this dart. This kind of dart is extremely common in the Jiangnan area, and he has seen it several times. Those Japanese ronin masters who are not afraid of death often use this kind of thing, and they like to smear poison on it.
Of course, this is not to say that this dart is only used by Japanese ronin. But in the Central Plains martial arts, except for a very small number of people who will smear poison on their weapons, basically no one will do this kind of thing. Therefore, the Sichuan Tang Sect is obviously better at poisoning, but its reputation in the rivers and lakes mostly comes from hidden weapons, and there are few rumors that Tang Sect disciples poison people.
However, this group of elite soldiers has obviously experienced a lot of battles. In addition to the panic at the beginning, the formation was immediately organized. Guarded in front by a man with a sword and shield, he prepared his bow and crossbow for firing. Those brocade guards even drew their sharp blades one by one and looked around cautiously.
If the enemy rushes out of the woods on both sides, he will inevitably suffer a great blow.
"Underground!" "Underground ......"
Two voices sounded at the same time, but the sound was high and low. It was Bai Yujing who had a low voice, and he said that the underground voice was almost only audible to Ding Maochun, but the loud voice was the person in the prison. Ding Maochun took a closer look at the person in the prison.
It was the cold of spring, and this man was only wearing a thin prison robe, his hair was scattered, and his beard grew like grass on a face that was not angry and arrogant. Although he is already old and afraid that he is in his fifties, the first feeling given to Ding Maochun is that this is not like a person, but like a lion.
Before Ding Maochun could take a few more looks, suddenly bursts of smoke rose from the military formation. There were several rumbling sounds, and black shadows skimmed by, and the bright sword light lit up. At the same time, the rain poured down.
No one expected that someone would be able to attack from the underground, and suddenly the army was scattered, and those black shadows were all equipped with supreme martial arts, and if they were put on the rivers and lakes, they would also be famous people. The officers and soldiers are different, the officers and soldiers form a formation, one top ten, but without the assistance of the formation, the masters of the rivers and lakes can fight against ten or even a hundred enemies with one enemy.
In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground along with the rain. Unable to care about the enemies in the woods, the brocade-clothed guards swept up one after another, killing the black shadows who were causing trouble. And as soon as they moved, the sound of Suo Suo came from the dense forest, and ghostly figures flashed.
"Kill ......"
The words of those people were a little stiff, but they could vaguely guess that they meant to kill. The screams suddenly rang out, and those people did not distinguish between officers and soldiers or passers-by, and they all inflicted poisonous hands. Ding Maochun was surprised when a sword groan sounded in his ears.
Bai Yujing had already pulled out the soft sword, and suddenly the sword light was like a white practice, cutting off the continuous rain.
With a bang, the cotton clothes were torn, and a figure suddenly fell to the left side of Ding Maochun. This person seemed to be able to stealth the technique, and Ding Maochun didn't notice when he came to his side. thought that if it weren't for Bai Yujing's sudden move, he was afraid that he wouldn't know how he died.
"Dingding......
A few more darts were shot down by Bai Yujing, but the scene was complicated, although Bai Yujing had the heart to kill these people, but after all, he was blind and afraid of hurting the innocent, so he could only protect Ding Maochun.
"Let those passers-by lean over," Bai Yujing said. Although he couldn't kill the enemy, Bai Yujing was still sure of the sheltering side. Ding Maochun hurriedly called out loudly according to Bai Yujing's instructions and asked those passers-by to come over. In fact, there was no need for him to call, those people saw that Bai Yujing had killed a thief in an instant, and they all rushed over.
It's just that those officers and soldiers are in trouble. As soon as these people make a move, they are like tigers entering the flock, and there is basically no one enemy. Their movements are clean and neat, often with a single sword, a huge human head rolling down. I saw that Ding Maochun's cold air penetrated directly from the soles of his feet to his face, and cold sweat mixed with rain.
To Ding Maochun's surprise, he originally thought that these people were here to rescue the people in the prisoner car. Unexpectedly, these people were invincible all the way to the prisoner's cart, and several shining knives lit up, and they all slashed at the prisoner.
When the prisoner was dismembered by the knife, all he could hear was laughter like thunder.
Ding Chunmao's eyes widened, he never thought that there would be such a powerful person in this world!
I saw that the man's hair was scattered, and the rain seemed to be carried up by an invisible energy, like an arc of sword light. The prisoner's cart collapsed, and those who swung their knives at him flew out one after another, and the long knives in their hands were severed.
If they weren't all masked, they would have looked like ghosts at this time!
"Yao Baihu, Yu is not trying to escape. The man's voice was strong, and as soon as he finished speaking, the thick chains on his hands and feet were instantly torn off. At the same time, "whoosh" several darts struck, and the man's long sleeves moved, as if the wind swept the clouds, not only the darts were knocked away, but even the pouring rain was evaporated.
The next moment, his figure appeared in front of a dark shadow. No one noticed how he made a move, and the black shadow suddenly spat blood from its mouth and fell to the ground.
If those officers and soldiers are lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of these men in black, then these men in black are like ants in the eyes of these prisoners. His figure is like a dragon leaping and a tiger leaping, and every time he makes a move, he will inevitably take away the life of a man in black.
In dozens of breaths, most of the dozens of black-clothed people with strong martial arts were killed by him alone.
The remaining men in black couldn't hold on any longer, and they all tried their own means to escape. Someone shook his hand casually, and disappeared with a puff of yellow smoke. Some people drilled directly into the ground, and they actually blended into the land, and what was even more amazing was that Ding Maochun also saw a person leaning against the big tree, and he disappeared.
If these people say that the knife technique is just high-class, then the way these people escape for their lives is really amazing!
"Good swordsmanship, eat someone Yu's move!"
When Bai Yujing heard the voice, he felt a boundless force attacking. As if the sky had collapsed and the mountain peaks had toppled down, Bai Yujing involuntarily slashed the sword in his hand. Draw circles in the void. The pouring rain was suddenly attracted by an invisible energy, and it merged with the sword light.
In the eyes of others, the prisoner suddenly struck with a palm, and Bai Yujing suddenly swords, and a transparent water curtain appeared in front of him to block the prisoner's palm.
"Moanβ"
As if a dragon was groaning, the long sword struck, the sword light burst out, and a white line faintly appeared in the void. The sword seemed to come out of nowhere, into nothingness, without any sign of it, both sudden and swift. The prisoner didn't expect Bai Yujing to have such a trick, but his martial arts insights were far beyond ordinary people, and the sword light was about to pierce his palm, but he saw him gesture over.
The wide long sleeves are like clouds hanging from the sky, ingesting everything.
With a whoosh, the sword light pierced through the prisoner's wide sleeves, and castration did not diminish in the slightest. A big tree three feet away, boom, was punctured through a large hole the thickness of each arm.
The prisoner looked at Bai Yujing, "Good swordsmanship, really good swordsmanship." He shook his head again and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if your eyes are intact, I, Yu Dayou, will definitely take you as an apprentice." With that, he turned and left.
After he left, Bai Yujing let out a long breath, and Ding Maochun clearly saw a green qi in his jaw slowly dimming.
"Such a powerful character, just a casual palm, let me do my best. If it weren't for the aura of Aoki to penetrate the second vein of Ren Du, I am afraid that this sword would not be able to break his palm. Bai Yujing said secretly in his heart, "Yu Dayou, this person has never heard the master mention it. β
In the distance, Yu Dayou smiled at a brocade guard and said, "Yao Baihu, I have to trouble you to handcuff me again." β
That Yao Baihu was expressionless, and ordered the two of them to re-put the iron chains on Yu Dayou. It's just that the prisoner cart has broken down, so I have no choice but to let someone build a wooden plank and let Yu Dayou sit on it. Although Bai Yujing and the others wanted to leave early, these officers and soldiers did not leave, and they could only wait patiently on the sidelines.
Half an hour later, there was a sound of horses' hooves from Nanyang Mansion, and another group of brocade guards arrived, and this group of officers and soldiers continued on the road.
After the officers and soldiers left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the officers and soldiers took all the corpses, the bloody atmosphere did not subside, and the blood and rain seeped into the mud all over the ground, making people dare not look at them directly. Everyone hurriedly left, and Bai Yujing and Ding Maochun also got on the horse.
Bai Yujing then asked, "Uncle Ding, who is Yu Dayou?"
Ding Maochun smiled bitterly and said, "I seem to have heard someone say this name before, but I can't remember it for a while." But he doesn't look like a charlatan, but like a general. β
