Chapter 8: The Assassination of the County Guard
"Daddy, I'm back. Zihua walked into the house and shouted, and Lin Xia followed into the hall.
Lin Xia looked at the hall by the faint light emitted by the two burning candlesticks.
Above the hall are two bamboo chairs with flower shadows. In the middle, there is a bamboo window Matsudo round table, and 6 summer bamboo stools are arranged. A middle-aged man about forty years old sat at the table. This person was dressed in plain clothes, with a little wrinkle on his forehead, and was looking at Zihua with a kind smile.
The middle-aged man forgot about the county and the county guarded the wood. is also Zihua's father. The full name of Azusa is Azusa Birch. However, because the members of the Forget Worry Society call it Zihua, few people know the surname Zihua.
"Daddy, you're drinking and forgetting your worries again. Tell you to drink less, you just don't listen. By the way, there are guests here today. This is the king and dog young man who saved us in the Forgotten Worry Forest. Zihua walked over to the county guard and said.
"Shaoxia, please take a seat, this is my father. Zihua said to Lin Xia again.
"Wang Ergou Shaoxia tried the sword test today, but he is a talent who has broken into the top three. I forgot about the young talents of the county. Come, Shaoxia, thank you for saving Zihua with this cup. The warden laughed.
"Daddy, you're drinking again. Zihua stopped in a coquettish voice on the side.
"The county keeper is too polite, it's just a trivial matter, why worry about it. Lin Xia replied nervously.
"Forget the worries?" After Lin Xia finished drinking, he felt a burst of wine from the touch device of the bracelet.
"It seems that the young man has drunk this forgetfulness of worries! But my forgetfulness here is more pure than that of the forgetfulness wine shop. The county keeper said proudly.
"Daddy, you should drink two less!" Zihua persuaded again.
"Don't blame the young man, Daddy is happy tonight and drank two more glasses. Zihua said.
"It's okay, it's rare for the county keeper to be so bold. I salute Lord Gunsho with a drink. "Raise your glass and drink it all.
Lin Xia's performance in the county guard's mansion doubled the county guard's favorability towards Lin Xia. After dinner, he and Lin Xia were idle in the county guard's mansion.
"Did Wang Shaoxia have any kind of sect in mind?" the county guard asked.
"Lord Huiyu, when I first entered the rivers and lakes, I have not yet met a suitable sect. Lin Xia replied respectfully.
"Who?" shouted the county watchman as he looked at a dark shadow tumbling down from the courtyard.
With that, the county guard shot an arrow towards the place where the black shadow fell. And the black shadow obviously didn't expect that he had just sneaked in and was directly discovered. In a panic, he rushed to the backyard. The county guard followed.
"I didn't expect this county guard to look old, but his skills are so extraordinary. After Lin Xia finished speaking, he also ran to the backyard.
The black shadow came to the backyard and found that there was nowhere to hide in the backyard, and it turned out that there were three rooms in the backyard, one each in the east-west and north-west directions. The black shadow ran towards the northward room. As soon as the county guard chased into the backyard, the black shadow disappeared, and he shouted, "Where is the Iron Guard?"
Just as Lin Xia also came to the backyard, there was a clanging metal crash sound from the front yard, and I saw two teams of about thirty or forty guards dressed in iron armor and holding Changge running into the backyard in an orderly manner.
"Guard the eaves and roof for me to prevent this person from escaping, and the rest of the guards will be hospitalized. I'm going to make it hard for this thief to fly. The county warden said loudly.
After speaking, the county guard walked first to the north and pushed open the door to the single house.
But it was pitch black inside the house, and the county guard stood still at the door. He then ordered someone to fetch a candle and entered the room under the protection of the four ironclad guards.
Suddenly, a black shadow on the roof of the roof rushed like a butterfly, and his feet made a series of kicks, kicking the chests of the two ironclad guards one after another, and the two ironclad guards fell to the ground in an instant. But fortunately, with iron armor, there is no big problem. After kicking down the two ironclad guards, the black shadow kicked his legs to the ground again, and suddenly jumped lightly onto the beam.
"Coming, archers ready, surround the north wing. The county guard shouted in a bluff.
At this time, the black shadow launched another attack, and it was another move, and it swept like fire, floating from the beams of the house. The county guard had already taken precautions this time, stepped back with his right foot, and his whole body was in a lunge state, and his fists rushed forward to make a move to go to sea. The black shadow was hit by the county guard and flew backwards, and his body instantly hit the table in the room.
"Hey, hey, I didn't expect the county keeper to be so good at kung fu. "The Black Shadow obviously didn't expect Mu Han's martial arts to be so high.
"Oh, what a bold thief dares to break into my county guard's mansion. ”
At this moment, the Shadow Man pulled out a soft sword coiled around his waist from his waist. Looking at this soft sword, the blade is narrow and slender, the blade is soft, and the blade trembles lightly. The Shadow Man swung his soft sword and charged towards the county guard. The four iron guards stood side by side in front of the county guard. I saw that the four of them moved, and they leaned forward slightly in unison and poked forward again. It turned out to be a battle formation on the battlefield, and after the iron guard forced back the black shadow man, the four of them quickly surrounded the black shadow man.
I saw that the four of them stabbed towards the middle, and the black shadow man quickly slammed one foot to the ground, and rose upward with the power of the ground, and the four iron guards poked into the air. When the black shadow man fell, it just landed on the four Changge, and it rotated several times in the air, and the soft sword in his hand danced in a circle with the black shadow man's body as the center. I only heard a sonorous sound of gold and iron. The soft sword quickly slashed across the four of them many times, but fortunately, although the four of them were fine, they were all forced to take a few steps back.
Seeing that the opportunity had come, the Shadow Man rushed towards the county guard again. The county guard dodged the soft sword sideways, but the soft sword blade was too soft, and when the black shadow man's wrist shook, the soft sword blade trembled and bounced towards the county guard. This sword came too fast, and the county guard was accidentally cut by the blade of the sword. The man in black raised his soft sword again and wanted to inflict heavy damage on the county guard. But seeing that the four iron guards gathered again, Changge struck a blow and blocked it for the county guard.
Slowly, the Shadow Man was forced back to the right side of the room by the four guards. When the shadow man saw a pile of wine jars in the corner, he made a soft sword pierce the jar, and when he picked it up further, the wine jar flew towards the four iron guards. The four iron guards pierced the jar, and suddenly a meal of wine splashed out. Seeing that this method could block the advance of the iron guards, the black shadow man took the opportunity to pick up two more jars in a row and flew towards the four major iron guards. The iron guard blocked again, and suddenly a burst of wine spilled from the sky. The Black Shadow Man took the opportunity to fly out behind the four iron guards before the fragments of the wine altar fell, and slashed horizontally with a sword, and the four iron guards fell in response.
"I didn't expect that there was so much wine in the county guard's mansion. Forget worries are expensive, and our county keeper must have taken bribes from the Forget Worries wine shop, right?" the Shadow Man scoffed.
"Who the hell are you, and why are you here?" said the county guard, clutching his long mouth on his chest that was bleeding.
"Dad, Dad, are you okay?" Zihua also rushed over from the east wing at this time.
"Zihua, let's go. Leave Daddy alone. Wang Ergou Shaoxia, quickly take Zihua out of here. The county guard hurriedly said.
The black shadow man glanced at Zihua deeply, and his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, the iron guard outside the courtyard also came to the north-facing room. As soon as the black shadow man saw that there were many iron guards, he flew directly out of the north-facing room with a quick shot. Due to the transfer of the iron guards to the north-facing room, after the black shadow man flew out, he went straight to the courtyard wall in the front yard.
"Forget it, don't chase it, you're no match for him. The county warden said.
The wound was not serious, and he was put on bed rest after applying the medicine. Zihua walked out of the room with a worried face.
"Lord County Guard is okay, right?" Lin Xia asked.
"Thank you Shaoxia for your concern, Daddy, he's fine, the doctor in the house has already taken the medicine. It's all because I don't know martial arts. Nothing will help Daddy. Zihua sighed.
"You don't have to blame yourself, the Black Shadow Man is extremely martial arts. The county keeper is very good at kung fu, and he is no match for him. By the way, why doesn't Lord Gunshou let you practice martial arts?" Lin Xia asked.
"I don't know this, my father told me since I was a child that girls shouldn't dance knives and guns, and said that the rivers and lakes are too sinister, and they don't want me to step into the rivers and lakes, this life is plain. That's why I was forbidden to practice martial arts. Zihua said helplessly.
"Then how did Lord County Shou store so many worries in his room?" Lin Xia asked curiously.
It turned out that Zihua told Lin Xia that there had been a wine shop in the city since ancient times, but the wine was improved by the county guard not long after the county guard took office many years ago, and it was first taken from the glacier snow water on the Daxue Mountain, which made the wine more cold and sweet. Then pick from the fire fruit in the forest of forgetfulness, the fresh fire fruit is slightly poisonous, and the entrance has a feeling of hot and paralyzed, so no one picks it. The county guard had the fruit harvested, washed and dried for three days, and when the skin was wrinkled, it was put into a jar and sealed for forty-nine days. Then open the jar and take out the peel, pour it into the snow water of the glacier of the Great Snow Mountain and brew it for a month. Then put the wine jar in the fire to steam, take four wooden sticks around the wine jar to support another flat altar, the mouth of the altar is facing down, and a large number of ice cubes are placed on the altar. Bowls and other containers are placed around the mouth of the jar, and the snow water in the jar and the wine fermented by the fire fruit are boiled over a high fire. In this way, the forgetfulness of worries is sweeter and stronger. And the toxicity and paralyzing taste of the fire vermilion fruit are removed. Forgetting worries and worries is actually not really making people forget their sorrows, but forgetting their worries and being drunk is easy to get drunk, and when they are drunk, they will naturally forget their troubles. Therefore, the wine recipe of the wine shop in the city is actually after the improvement of the county guard. This matter is also a secret matter in Forget Worry County, and only the restaurant and Zihua's father and daughter know about it.
I see. Isn't this the current distillation and purification method? Lin Xia was secretly surprised in his heart, although the efficiency was low, the wine obtained was indeed stronger than ordinary wine.
"Zihua, why don't you see the county guard?" Lin Xia asked.
Zihua's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and said, "I also asked my father, but my father only told me that when I was two years old, my mother was killed by thieves. Later, my father never married. ”
"I didn't expect that the county keeper's character was so noble, it was really awe-inspiring. Lin Xia sighed.
"It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave. Zihua should also rest early!" Lin Xia said to Zihua.
After bidding farewell to the county guard's mansion, Lin Xia walked down the street, thinking about everything that happened in the county guard's mansion, and became more and more curious.
An incorruptible and simple county guard, with strong martial arts, and improved the forgetfulness of worries, but no one knows. The mysterious black shadow man, who has done a lot of work, is a kendo master who sneaks into the county guard at night, why did he come here?
Lin Xia shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Downline is selected.
When Lin Xia went offline, he found that it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, it was almost dark outside, everyone in the bedroom was gone, and it was pitch black inside.
"Damn, the dormitory in the barren mountains and mountains is terrifying. ”
Suddenly, there was a bell.
"Ahh
"Lin Xia, hurry up to the classroom for a class meeting. The counselor also came, "It turned out to be a call from a classmate."
Lin Xia was flustered for a while, and accidentally bumped into the door in the dark. Lin Xia covered the big bag on his forehead and rushed out of the dormitory in a panic towards the classroom on the mountain.
