Chapter 2: Unexpected
Xu Jiding saw these two people clearly, his face changed and changed, and even his palms were sweaty at this moment. Still, he mustered up his spirits, forced himself to composure, and shouted at the comers, "Who are you, and why are you in our way?"
"Master Xu Jixu, don't you know Lao Er?" the old man's eyes were sharp, and there was a mocking smile on his face.
Xu Ji was shocked, squinting his eyes and carefully identifying it. Thinking in his heart, the outline of this person's eyes was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"You are?"
Looking at Xu Ji with a puzzled expression, the old man laughed and said, "Lord Xu is really a noble person who forgets things, don't you remember ten years ago...... What happened to the scene downstairs in the West Fourth Archway?"
West Fourth Archway?
Xu Ji was taken aback. Isn't that place the place the place of execution, and it was ten years ago, too far away. In that place, I don't know how many people are beheaded every year, and he personally supervised many of them, so maybe he doesn't remember much......
Thinking of this, Xu Ji carefully looked at the person in front of him again. The gray hair is about sixty years old, and because he is a martial arts practitioner, he should probably be a little older. Looking at it, the blurred pictures flashed in my mind, and the memories gradually changed from vague to clear.
"Qin Gu, yes, you are Qin Gu, the Qin ...... who robbed the Dharma Field ten years ago Qin Gu?"
"Hahaha......" Qin Gu burst out laughing and said, "I really didn't expect Lord Xu to remember Lao'er?"
Xu Ji's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really you, it's you thief......"
"Evil thief?" Hearing this, Qin Gu took a sip and said sharply: "If you talk about evil thieves, what you have done openly and secretly in the past few years, it is not an exaggeration to bear the word 'evil thief'!"
Xu Ji snorted coldly and said, "Qubble, the people block the official, what you are doing is a rebellion, not a thief, then what?"
Qin Gu sneered when he heard this, and said word by word: "What if you are a thief? It doesn't matter if you are scolded by a dying person. After that, Qin Gu didn't seem to be too lazy to theorize, so he threw his fists and pounced.
The sudden attack came head-on with a powerful punch. Xu Ji is a person who knows the goods, he didn't dare to take it hard, but took a few steps back, dodging the strongest momentum, and then raised his sword to block, his body retreated back with the strength of his fist, and shouted loudly while flying back: "Let's go together!"
Suddenly, the only remaining twenty or so officials on the snow immediately formed a siege and surrounded the old and young in the center. The three prisoners who were escorted by the officers and soldiers were given a brief moment of freedom, and they quickly gathered around the retreat together.
Xu Ji was on the periphery of the officers and soldiers, he posed and pretended to attack, but he did not attack, but carefully observed the martial arts of the two in the encirclement. But the more I looked, the more frightened I became. The old and the young were both bare-handed, and they didn't use any weapons. But with a pair of fleshy palms, they crushed and beat his brothers. Looking at the martial arts of the two of them, they look good, but they can't see the way out. The old man's fists are full of atmosphere, and although the speed of one punch and one palm is slow, it has a strong and fierce momentum, which makes people hurt immediately. The young man in white is dexterous and elegant, and he is even more comfortable in the siege, and in less than a few rounds, as many as seven or eight people fell beside him.
Xu Ji's heart trembled, these brothers of his were not ordinary officials, but Jinyi guards who had been trained through strict selection and disguise. Because the prisoners escorted this time are too important, they will be sent to carry them out. These brocade guards are all good at one and ten on weekdays, but if they meet these two people, they are not enough.
In this situation, Xu Ji did not rush forward to help the battle as soon as possible, but quietly retreated a few steps, observing the situation in the field while retreating.
But seeing the young man in white with the wind and snow in his hands, he shot dozens of palm shadows in one breath, mixed with the wind and snow that made people dazzled, and after the palm shadows, several officers and soldiers fell to the ground and convulsed. When the rest of the officers and soldiers saw that their opponents were strong, they quickly gathered around. One of the officers and soldiers looked like a small leader, but he glanced at the place where Xu Ji was standing, and saw that it was still empty, and when he looked for it again, he could only see the back of a small black dot in the snow from a distance. Seeing that Xu Ji had quietly left, the little leader shouted at the officers and soldiers: "Withdraw!"
A loud shout resounded in everyone's hearts. I saw that the remaining seven or eight officers and soldiers quickly turned around and quickly retreated, ignoring the prisoners on the field. The young man couldn't stop it, so he quickly stretched out one foot and picked it up on the snow, and copied the snow up, only to see him reach out and take it, turn around and throw it out again. But seeing a cloud of snow scattered in the air, it turned into snow needles and flew away, like a divine help, hitting targets one by one with great accuracy.
Qin Gu also took care of the last person, and then he looked up, only to find that the leading Xu Ji had already turned into a vague little black spot, and if he worked a little later, he might not be able to see it. He was about to chase, but he saw four white-clothed men in cloak running far away from the other side of the snow, he hesitated and stopped, but saw the strong wind around him, the white shadow flashed, and the white-clothed young man chased out. I saw that the soles of his feet slipped little by little, and the person had already drifted far away, and there were already signs of catching up in dozens of ups and downs.
......
Xu Ji looked back from time to time as he ran, and when he saw the young man in white chasing after him, he accelerated his pace. However, he is not good at snow gliding, and it is difficult to increase this speed on thick snow.
After a while, the young man in white was getting closer and closer, and after a while, I saw that he had already crossed Xu Ji and blocked him in front of him in a few ups and downs.
With no way out, Xu Ji had to stop, gasping and looking at the young man, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly, he gritted his teeth and met it with his sword.
In a hurry, the young man in white turned around to close the distance as soon as he turned around, and raised his hand to attack Xu Ji's wrist.
Xu Ji was still in the posture of taking out the sword at this time, and he didn't have time to block it, so he had to forcibly withdraw the sword momentum and swept out, and then pointed to the ground on tiptoe, and his body quickly moved back a few steps, narrowly splitting the young man's palm wind attack.
After only one back and forth, Xu Ji was already sweating. Although he was arrogant, he knew very well in his heart that there was a big gap between him and the other party, and it seemed impossible to beat the other party in martial arts. But...... But seeing the cold light flashing in his eyes, the person also jumped up quickly, and the sword in his hand turned into countless sword shadows, mixed with snowflakes and attacked the white-clothed young man.
The person who can dance the sword shadow is enough to show that his kendo attainments are not low, and it is with such exquisite sword moves that the young man in white instantly goes to the heart of slackness, and concentrates on coping with it carefully. The extremely powerful sword shadow couldn't greet with his palms, he could only avoid its edge, relying on his flexible body to dodge skillfully. No matter how fierce and endless the tricks are, there will always be a time when the sword shadow is blurred, in the gap between the changes in the sword moves, the young man in white suddenly bullied forward, and the palm shadow continued, and dozens of palms were slapped in an instant.
Suddenly, the palm shadow suppressed the sword shadow, Xu Ji's body was shrouded by the palm shadow, his movement was temporarily blocked, and the long sword also lost its flexibility.
Just when he was secretly anxious and couldn't get out, he saw the young man in white suddenly get up and fly and kick the back of his hand. The sword came out of his hand and fell on the snow with a 'clang'. The young man then slapped out another palm, Xu Ji couldn't dodge, he was slapped in the chest, staggered back a few steps, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the person also staggered.
The two tricks worked, and the young man in white withdrew his hand and stood up, looked at the other party quietly, and said, "You are not Xu Ji?"
Xu Ji snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is Xu Ji, if you say no, it's not!"
"Of course you're not him!" The young man in white seemed to be very determined, pointed at Xu Ji and said, "I think that Xu Ji is famous, and his martial arts will not be so bad, tell me who you are?"
Xu Ji spat a mouthful of blood and said viciously: "Young man who doesn't dare to show his face, who do you care about Lao Tzu?"
The young man in white smiled lightly: "Your mouth is so stinky, and you know what happened ten years ago, you can still recognize Uncle Qin, look at this figure, if you guess correctly, then you must be Xu Ji's younger brother Xu Fang?"
Xu Ji's expression changed at the moment, and he asked instead of answering, "Who are you?"
"It's just an ordinary passer-by, even if you tell you what your last name is, your Excellency may not know. ”
"This official may not know that your Excellency covers your face with a hat, isn't it afraid that people will recognize you?"
The young man in white didn't speak lightly, and reached out to take off the snow hat to reveal his true face.
Xu Jiding took a look, the person in front of him looked immature and young, it seemed that he was only a half-grown teenager, but he had a handsome and abnormal face like a crown of jade, this face was really strange to him, and it didn't seem to matter much.
The young man in white took in Xu Ji's expression, only to see him smile gently, and said, "Can you identify who I am?"
With such an unfamiliar face, Xu Ji just wanted to go for three days and three nights, and naturally he couldn't think of who he was. The only thing he was sure of was that he and the boy in front of him had met for the first time.
"Who are you?"
The young man in white shook his head slightly, and said, "If you tell me where the real Xu Ji is, I'll tell you who I am?"
Although Xu Ji was apprehensive in his heart, he still sneered and turned his head to look away, where is the pestle without saying a word, there is a posture of what can you do with me.
