Chapter 6: The Battle of the Water
Tu water into the river place, Jiangxia City southwest ninety-two miles, on the top of the rocky mountain, a woman in Tsing Yi stands on the west side of the river cliff, sometimes overlooking the autumn leaves of the small army mountain on the opposite bank, sometimes overlooking the river, the attitude is leisurely, as if a leisurely walk. It's just that today's wind is raging, and the wind is already roaring like thunder on this cliff, and the wind that makes it almost impossible to open the eyes of the wind makes this woman in green clothes hunting and flying, if you look at it from a distance, it is doubtful that this woman will ride the wind away.
Although this woman stood in a dangerous place and was disturbed by the wind, her form and bearing had an indescribable elegance, and her clear and calm eyes stared at the ships shuttling back and forth in the heart of the river, and her eyes revealed a complex light. The sunset is gradually sinking in the west, this moment is already the beginning of the unitary time, it is the time when the business traveler should find an inn to rest, if the sun falls under the river, and then rush to the road is more than worth the loss.
Just when the sunset was half sinking into the river, and the sail shadow on the river was already sparse, the eyes of the woman in Tsing Yi suddenly lit up, and she saw a flat boat with a full sail going upstream, and it was like an arrow from the string on such a turbulent river, which was really incredible. Although they were several miles away, and they looked down from a high place, the woman in green clothes could still see the person driving the boat clearly. I saw that this man was thirty or forty years old, burly, ugly, yellow-faced and thin-eyed, wearing a gray robe, there were still stains on the placket, and a worn-out and dull ancient sword was tied to the cloth belt around his waist, one hand controlled the rudder, and the other hand held the sail, as if the gods controlled the boat, but at his feet there was a half-man-high red lacquer gourd, when the big man did not need to hold the sail, but from time to time he raised the gourd, raised his head and drank freely, even when the boat crossed the river heart, he still never put down the gourd, and his bearing was heroic and heroic, which made people break at first sight. The woman's eyes showed admiration, but she was quickly overwhelmed by a faint melancholy. Then she hid her breath, and took a few steps back, in this position, she could barely see Jiang Xin's scene, but the people below couldn't see him, not to mention who would look at the top of the mountain for no reason?
Just when the light boat is about to cross the narrow river between the two mountains, three light boats finished glyph from the upstream to meet the face, a handsome man in a gorgeous costume and jade crown stands on the bow of the light boat headed by his hand, the man is slightly too thin and handsome with a faint smile, the body is covered with a snow-white cloak, but under the river breeze, revealing the black brocade clothes of the gold silk embroidered unicorn, the jade crown on the head, the brocade belt around the waist, the short knife with a green sharkskin sheath on the body, the pearl on the handle is bright, the man is very luxuriously dressed, it should be a boat in the river to swim in the river, but at the moment it is a light boat danger, which makes people feel strange in their hearts。
But the woman in green clothes saw this man in gorgeous clothes, but her face showed a cautious look, her eyes were blazing, and she didn't want to miss any slight move of this man, the man in gorgeous clothes didn't know that there were others watching left and right, and looked at the man in gray with blazing eyes. The other two boats are sandwiched between one left and one right, standing on the bow of the left side is a Confucian scholar with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, but this scholar has a skin like condensation, bright eyes, charming and affectionate, at a glance you know that it is a woman who is easy to hairpin and Ben, and on the right bow is a fair-skinned and thin young man, although he is only thirty-one or two, but his spirit is sluggish, as if he is recovering from a serious illness.
The gray-robed man who was surrounded by the three of them, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "Ling Mou, thank you to the guest of honor of Hailing County, the Marquis of Dongyang values it, and even the rouge scholar Qiu Suhua and the Breaking Waves God Jiao Juzhong also come to take care of it, which really makes me feel very honored." ”
A smile appeared on the handsome face of the brocade-clothed man, and he said loudly: "Two years ago, Your Excellency showed his might and led the White Tiger Division of Fengtai Pavilion in the Qinghe, Plains, The three counties of Bohai slaughtered, broke my Chunshui Hall sixteen secret stations, Ben Hou's carefully trained spies, was killed by you cleanly, Ben Hou's junior brother bloody hand sword Xuan Xuan was beheaded by you Long Street, after this battle, Your Excellency was promoted to deputy commander in the Yanshan guard, naturally proud, but my Chunshui Hall is to hate Your Excellency to the bone, if you honestly hide in Yanshan, it will be just that, but Your Excellency will inevitably take Ben Hou too seriously, dare to go south alone, go to Yueyang through Jiangxia, and go deep into the hinterland of Chunshui Hall, if Ben Hou does not intercept you, I am afraid that the people of the world will not only look down on Chunshui Hall, but even the face of Jiayue will be swept to the ground by Your Excellency。 ”
Ling Chong laughed when he heard this: "Master Hou Ye is too self-talking, since Chunshui Hall belongs to the Duke of Yueguo, it should show off its power in the southeast, but it should not watch Qingzhou. Hailing killed seventeen officials and generals above the fifth grade, four of the White Tiger Division's inspectors, and the rest of the innocent people were not less than a hundred, Ling was ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World to kill him in public, it is a matter of course, if it were not for the sake of the Hou Ye's face, he would not have sent his body back to Jiangning, as for the other little minions, it is a pity that Ling killed too little, at least a dozen smart people fled to Qi County, and on the orders of His Royal Highness, Ling did not rush to kill them all. ”
Shi Ming laughed angrily when he heard this, and said: "Okay, good, in this case, Ben Hou will not be killed today, ten miles away from here, the front and back waterways, have been set up by Ben Hou to set up an ambush, if Commander Ling can break out of this pass, there is your burial place, but now Ben Hou gives you a chance, if you can break through Ben Hou's interception, then Ben Hou will let you live, and do not let his subordinates intercept you." ”
Ling Chong smiled coldly, with a sneering look on his face, including the royal family, all the princes of the world collected their minions and summoned the dead, although the Yanshan guards are famous in the world, but Chunshui Hall is not inferior, now the three masters in the hall are out together, and there are more elite soldiers to set up ambushes before and after, the location is favorable and all are lacking, and they have no chance to break through this barrier, this so-called glimmer of life is the same as not, this person said so, but he just wanted to reduce his fighting spirit, thinking of this, Ling Chong said proudly: " You Chunshuitang only know how to play some conspiracy and tricks, that is, Ling wants to fight with you with real swords and guns, but he has no chance, it is rare for Hou Ye to have the courage to show up today, if Ling Mou does not laugh at the good heads of the people who are waiting for you, wouldn't it be a pity. After that, he raised the gourd with one hand, turned it upside down, and the clear yellow wine poured down like a flowing spring, Ling Chong turned his back to the sky, and drank as much as he wanted, and the remaining dozen catties of wine in the gourd were all drunk by him.
Shi Ming's face flashed a hint of color, but he didn't take this opportunity to make a move, the Youji forces and the Tang family in Qingxu dogtooth staggered, even if they don't know each other's strength completely, but they can also know eight or nine times out of ten, in the information he got, all of them said that the deputy commander of the Yanshan guard was reckless and impulsive, this person was ordered to clean the three counties of Qingzhou that day, but he was not good at forbearance, and launched it prematurely, although the loss of Chunshuitang was not small, but it made many backbones escape, although he was promoted to deputy commander afterwards, but it is said that the prince of Yan Wang was quite dissatisfied with it, and left it idle, if it was not for Yan Wang Xu Yan to come forward in person, I am afraid that this person has been kicked out of Yanshan Wei。 This person is a confidant of King Yan, and he is still able to stay in Yanshanwei, which is controlled by the prince Luo Chengyu, because the two sides don't want to tear their faces, not to mention that although this person is careless, his martial arts are indeed extremely outstanding, but he is just idle because he is loyal to King Yan.
This time I learned that this person was going south, the reason why Shi Ming set up an ambush to intercept him was not to avenge his subordinates, the two families were mortal enemies, if he stood in the other party's position, he would only do it more ruthlessly, and he would be more ruthless, but his purpose was to capture Ling Chong alive. Although the existence of this person is just to take care of the face of King Yan, who is at a disadvantage in the competition for Yan Shanwei, and his hands are stained with the blood of the royal family and the secret spy of the Tang family, he goes south alone, I am afraid that there will be no return, not to mention that he understands this situation, as long as he is a little smart, he will not be mistaken, thinking of the information about the internal instability of Youji obtained a few days ago, Shi Ming concluded that this is the prince of Yan Wang who wants to kill people with a knife. Shi Ming can be a commoner, become a dignified county lord of honor and guest, single-handedly control the Tang family's external intelligence network, naturally not a character who is willing to be used, although killing this person can relieve the hatred in his heart, but if he can capture this person alive, it is possible to know the internal secrets of Yan Shanwei, a traitor who once served as the deputy commander of Yan Shanwei, what kind of harm will be brought to this organization that has been confronted with him for many years, Shi Ming knows it, so he did not rush to attack, lest Ling Chong commit suicide in despair, Shi Ming hopes that this person can always retain a point of hope, so that he can have a chance to capture this killing star。
The last drop of wine fell into his mouth, Ling Chong laughed, and threw it casually, the wine gourd that almost slowed down the strength of a thousand jun was thrown in the air, smashed at the fair-skinned and thin man, reached out to his waist and touched it, a sword light like snow broke through the air, and even people led the boat to Shi Ming, Shi Ming smiled slightly, the short knife came out of the sheath, like a long rainbow, the sword light and sword slammed together, making countless small clanging sounds, and the bows of the two light boats collided against each other, and they were actually deadlocked together. At the same time, the fair-skinned man smashed the gourd with one palm, but he did not step forward to attack, but instead retreated the boat, but the beautiful eyes of the "rouge scholar" flowed, and three zhang red silk flew out of the long sleeves, rolling towards Ling Chong's feet, but he said in his mouth: "Oh, what is Commander Ling doing so desperately, isn't it good to sit down and have a glass of wine together?" Her voice was extraordinarily delicate and charming, full of bewitching charm, but the three zhang red silk was unpredictable, just entangled with Ling Chong's hands and feet.
Shi Ming and Ling Chong are two rabbits and ducks, shots are swift and incoherent, offensive and defensive tend to defend, although Shi Ming is only a short knife with a certain length in his hand, the knife technique is very fierce, when attacking is like a lightning flash, when defending, it is like a husband when passing, there is a silver light everywhere within a radius of several zhang, the knife falls like a storm, there is a momentum to sweep the world, Ling Chong has always been known for his swordsmanship, but under the sword momentum of Shi Ming, he can only withstand it, the moves of both sides are fierce and fierce, and the sword and sword qi are often entangled in one place, making a sneering sound。 However, Qiu Suhua's red silk surrounded all directions, turning into red clouds, blocking Ling Chong's retreat. Red Aya hovered back and forth between the sword light and sword shadows, as long as Ling Chong was a little slack, he would entangle his hands and feet, Shi Ming seemed to be able to predict Red Aya's offensive, a knife was as fast as a knife, a knife was as ruthless as a knife, forcing Ling Chong into a desperate situation, Shi Ming and Qiu Suhua cooperated so tacitly, even those whose martial arts were higher than them were difficult to resist, not to mention that Ling Chong's martial arts and Shi Ming were just between them. In fact, he was able to not fall behind within a hundred moves, which had already exceeded Shi Ming and Qiu Suhua's expectations, Shi Ming's heart was full of jealousy, such a master would rather be treated coldly in Youji, but he would not have surrendered to Chunshui Tang, his heart was furious, Shi Ming's offensive was three more points ruthless, so that Ling Chong gradually couldn't parry.
After another moment, Shi Ming noticed that Ling Chong had defended more and attacked less, and a smug look flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Why should Ling Commander struggle, although you are in a high position in Yanshan Weizhong, you are not trusted and relied on, and now you are sent here to die, it is better to abandon the sword and surrender, Benhou has always loved the heroes of the world, and the Duke of Yue is also very kind to his subordinates, if Your Excellency is willing to vote for Jiangning, you will be prosperous and rich, and your position of power will be at your fingertips, since the prince of Yan Wang does not value Your Excellency, why should you die for him?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Suhua cooperated with the tacit understanding to slow down the offensive, and Ju Zhong once again drove the boat away from Zhang Xu, looking at the three people who were fighting with blazing eyes, if it was about water nature, Ju Zhong was the first person in the southeast, and naturally he would not let Ling Chong have a chance to escape from the waterway.
Hearing Shi Ming's words, the expression on Ling Chong's face changed significantly, although his hand did not slow down, but there was obviously a trace of hesitation, the cold light in his eyes flickered, and he suddenly shouted angrily, his body and sword were united and rushed towards Shi Ming, Shi Ming frowned, he could feel Ling Chong's sword intent in the irreverent determination to go back, under this absolute advantage, he naturally would not want to die with Ling Chong, the knife momentum turned, turned from attack to defense, and wanted to wear off Ling Chong's fighting spirit, and Qiu Suhua shook his wrist, and the red silk was wrapped around his feet like a spiritual snake, but he saw that Ling Chong was desperate and had less defense。 The two have been working together for several years to fight the enemy, and the slowness is well grasped, and there is no flaw to be found.
The moment the sword wind and sword qi collided, Shi Ming only felt that the opponent's sword was weak and weak, and he was shocked in his heart, and he was about to accept it, but Ling Chong had already used his strength to fly back, Shi Ming knew that it was not good, and shouted loudly: "Su Hua, retreat." As soon as he shouted out the word "Su", Ling Chong had already turned upside down, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a snow-bright wine arrow shot towards Qiu Suhua. Qiu Suhua waved his long sleeves, but it was the kung fu of Liuyun Fei's sleeves, wanting to block the wine arrow, but only heard the hissing sound, the long sleeves of the Confucian shirt had been pierced by the wine drops, knowing that Ling Chong was mixing the dantian Gang qi into the wine arrow, Qiu Suhua desperately turned over and fell into the water, at the moment she entered the water, she heard the rapid sound of the rainstorm and thunder on the hull, and her heart was cold, if this wine arrow shot on her face, she was afraid that her face would be ruined, and she couldn't help but have infinite hatred in her heart, and the sound had stopped, Qiu Suhua surfaced, her slender hand shook, and three wisps of silver shot towards Ling Chong's back。
With the liquor that has been stored in his belly for a long time and turned into an arrow to force Qiu Suhua back, Ling Chong did not hesitate to pounce on the river bank, the river is not wide here, if you can go ashore, you can find a place to hide, this place is far from Jiayu County, where the Tang family and the power of Wu Heng, the king of Yunnan, meet, but one hundred and sixty miles, if you can break through, there is still hope for survival. Behind him, the furious Shi Ming pounced in the air, and when he was still a few feet away from Ling Chong, he had already waved his sword, and the short knife shot at the back of Ling Chong's neck like lightning and thunder, Ling Chong backhanded a sword, the sword and knife struck each other, and the short knife shot back, Shi Ming waved his hand to send out the dark power of catching the dragon, and the short knife circled back into his hand. And Ling Chong also took the opportunity to sink his body and fell into the water, almost at the same time, Qiu Suhua's silver needle had already shot into Ling Chong's shoulder and back silently, this was because of Ling Chong's sinking body, otherwise he would have definitely shot into his vest point.
Ling Chong only felt that his right arm was numb, so he was no longer conscious, and he didn't care about looking at it, so he swam straight to the shore with one arm. Unexpectedly, the black shadow under the water flashed, and someone pulled his feet, knowing that the person must be Juzhong, Ling Chong curled up, avoided Juzhong's hands, flipped in the water, and the long sword that had been handed over to his left hand stabbed towards Juzhong, but it was colliding with the water-splitting spur in Juzhong's hand. Ling Chong used his strength to sneak up, and his true breath was not turbid, and he had already advanced more than ten zhang distance, but just as he was ventilating on his back, someone broke through the water in front of him, and that person was Juzhong.
The water-splitting spur in Juzhong's hand stabbed Ling Chong's chest, Ling Chong had no choice but to sink in luck, his body naturally curled up, after avoiding Juzhong, his feet stretched, and he kicked Juzhong's wrist, Juzhong's eyes flashed with admiration, and his body twisted in the water, and he gently and skillfully got out of Ling Chong's attack range, but dived into the water like a swimming fish, and in an instant, both of them were submerged in the water again, and the fighting situation was covered by the undulating river, and others could not know what the battle was like.
Looking at the undulating river, Shi Ming Junyi's face showed a smile, at this time, Qiu Suhua had also come out of the water to board the boat, looked at Zhou's body like a chicken in the soup, and said angrily: "Hall master, this person is so hateful, when he asks for a confession, hand him over to me, I want him to remember me Qiu Suhua for the rest of his life." The beautiful face showed hatred, but it did not reduce the charm and softness at all, so that Shi Ming's heart fluttered, but without a trace, he took his eyes away from her curvy delicate body, and said lightly: "Don't look down on him, the three of us are besieging on the water to trap him, and we haven't caught him yet, if he escapes, I'm afraid that our face will be lost." As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on Qiu Suhua's body, Qiu Suhua's eyes were sparkling, showing infinite tenderness, but he just lowered his head and tied the cloak and was silent.
Shi Ming stared at the river, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, but he was convinced that Juzhong's water nature was unmatched, so he waited patiently, and after a while, someone broke through the water, but it was Juzhong who swam up with the half-unconscious Ling Chong, he looked tired and pushed Ling Chong to the boat, and took a breath before jumping onto the boat, and said: "His water nature is also good, if it weren't for Miss Qiu's poisonous needle to work, I'm afraid it would take half a day." ”
Qiu Suhua said with a smile: "Of course, this girl's poisonous needle secret weapon, what I didn't realize at first, when the poison penetrated into the bloodline, it was out of control, as long as he was hit by my poisonous needle, don't think about running away, if you are not afraid that he will sink to the bottom of the river, in fact, you don't have to arrest him." With that, there was a smug look on his face.
Juzhong shook his head with a wry smile, he knew Qiu Suhua's temperament, and he didn't compete with her, he flew into the water, and after a while, he came out of the water to board his boat that had already drifted away, and said loudly: "Hall Master, can you order the ambush to retreat." At this time, the red sun had sunk, and only a glimmer of afterglow was still floating on the river, Shi Ming asked Qiu Suhua to remove the poison on Ling Chong's body, and then added a ban on the unconscious Ling Chong, and then ordered: "Let's go to Tukou Town for a night, let them retreat first." ”
The key man agreed, released a rocket to order the army to retreat, and then drove the boat to follow Shi Ming and Qiu Suhua to Tukou Town, a few miles south of Jingji Mountain.
Tukou Town is the place where Tushui and the river meet, it is the key place for business and travel, there is a branch of Chunshui Hall in the town, and it is the general secret station of Chunshui Hall to spy on the intelligence of the King of Dian in the territory. However, Shi Ming had already arranged a farmhouse and was not going to stay at the secret station. Today's interception of Ling Chong, Shi Ming acted in secret, and did not mobilize the good hands in the hall, that is, the elite soldiers who intercepted the river on both sides, and also borrowed the name of searching for water bandits, because of Ling Chong's matter, he deliberately wanted to push it to the King of Dian, as long as Ling Chong was caught, he would send someone to pretend to be Ling Chong's appearance, and after arriving in Linxiang, let this person disappear mysteriously, Linxiang is already the jurisdiction of the King of Dian, and when the time comes, Youji just wants to ask for guilt, and there is no reason to embarrass Chunshui Hall. Although this is mostly a cover-up and stealing the bell, Shi Ming knows that the two families are hostile, as long as they don't put the handle into the hands of the other party, not to mention that according to his judgment, this Ling Chong is probably already an outcast, as long as he makes the false appearance that this person has sunk to the bottom of the river, I am afraid that Yan Shanwei will only trace it on the surface, and he will not bother to think about it at all.
The three took advantage of the night to hide in the town, but before they reached the entrance of the town, they saw a person standing on the road in front of them, with their backs to the three people, although the night was dark, but the three of them still saw the appearance of this person clearly, only to see this person in a tall posture, a black silk shirt, a belt of the same color around his waist, although he only stood with his hands in his hands, but the three of them all felt as if the man had a pair of eyes looking at him at the back of his head.
Shi Ming's heart was shocked, and he stepped forward and said coldly: "Who is blocking the road, is it because he wants to block the road and rob it?"
The man laughed loudly and said: "Dongyang Hou Shiming, Yue Guogong loves his son-in-law, how can anyone dare to rob a character like Your Excellency, but Your Excellency captured my brother alive, this is too much, in Xia Ximen Rin, I live in the position of the commander of the Yanshan guard, and I have seen the Master Marquis." Then the man turned around, and in the dim starlight, he saw that the man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a dignified and gentle appearance, and a pair of eyes brighter than the stars. The eyes are clear and transparent, and there is no danger at all.
But Shi Ming and the three of them felt a chill, this person is Ximen Rin, who officially took over the position of the commander of the Yanshan Guards fifteen years ago, since then, Youji has almost become a place of death where the needle cannot be inserted and the water cannot be splashed, if it is not for the dislike between Yan Wang Xu Yan and Yan Wang Shi Luo Chengyu in the past two years, I am afraid that Chunshuitang will not have the courage to meddle in Qingzhou, this person's means and ruthlessness They know best, as soon as they see this person, Shi Ming only feels that his inference has lost all their foundation, if this person really wants to borrow a knife to kill people, why do they have to come to save people in person?
Shi Ming's eyes rolled, and he didn't need to speak, just flicked his fingers lightly, and a wisp of finger wind hit Qiu Suhua's body, silently, Qiu Suhua understood, and moved his steps gently, preparing to send a signal once he started to send a signal to summon the people of the town's branch hall, if he could besiege Ximen Rin here, it would be a great merit.
Ximen Rin saw the actions of the three of them clearly, and said with a smile: "Does the master of the hall want to call for helpers, but there is no need." Saying that, he threw it casually, but it was a few silver medals thrown at the feet of Shi Ming, Shi Ming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt cold all over his body, these silver medals are the identity tokens of several powerful subordinates in charge of Tukou Branch, the cards are in the people, now I don't ask, I can know, at this moment Tukou Branch Hall is already a sea of blood, my mind turned, Shi Ming has understood, and said coldly: "It turns out that Deputy Commander Ling went south under the guise of covering Your Excellency's whereabouts, just for a small branch, Your Excellency has to sacrifice a deputy commander, such generosity really makes Shi Ming ashamed." ”
Ximen Rin's expression was indifferent, there was no change, and he smiled: "Naturally, it is worth it, the Tukou Branch of Chunshui Hall bribed the assassin to assassinate His Royal Highness, and now he intercepted the deputy commander Ling who went to Yueyang to interrogate the assassin, it can be seen that the wolf's ambition, the crime is obvious, and the heavens and people are angry, and this seat kills him, it is in accordance with the hearts of the people of heaven and reason, is there anything wrong?"
Shi Ming was stunned when he heard this, and when he understood, he felt angry in his heart, who in the world didn't know about the assassination of the prince of Yan, most of it was caused by their civil strife, how could Ximen Rin blame Chunshuitang, if he wanted to assassinate Luo Chengyu, he would travel thousands of miles, where could he not do it in Yueyang, but he was also a smart person, and soon figured out that this was Luo Chengyu's reluctance to turn his face with King Yan, and he would probably not be willing to push it on King Dian, if it was pushed to the royal family, it would inevitably set off monstrous waves, before Luo Chengyu ascended the throne, but it would not be so reckless, then the best scapegoat was the Tang family, and the two families were already hateful, there is no reason not to blame the Tang family. But although he figured it out, it doesn't mean that it's acceptable, and Shi Ming will definitely not accept such a black pot for no reason, and said fiercely: "If Your Excellency can get rid of the water, then go and reverse black and white." ”
The voice fell, the red silk turned into clouds, but Qiu Suhua was the first to strike, she knew that Ximen Rin was powerful, so she scrambled to attack, the other three people could see this thought clearly, Ximen Rin said slowly: "The infatuated woman is really pitiful." As soon as he finished saying seven words, Sanzhang Red Aya had been wrapped around him, although Qiu Suhua knew that there must be fraud, but he still couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and tightened the red silk in his hand, and the red Aya between the two of them had collapsed and tightened, but he only felt that there was an empty feeling at the end of the red Aya, and before she woke up, a strong force came through the red Aya, Qiu Suhua only felt that his heart was hit hard, and then he felt that his eyes lit up, and a silver ray of a length broke out in a blink of an eye, and the three zhang red Aya turned into a butterfly. Qiu Suhua spit out a mouthful of blood, and the silver light that seemed to be like a practice swept in, Qiu Suhua only felt that her body was weak, and she couldn't avoid it, but she only felt a tightness around her waist, and when she came to her senses, she found that she was leaning on a warm embrace, she could feel the familiar breath, and somehow, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Shi Ming didn't care about Wen Cun, looked at Ximen Rin on the opposite side, and saw that he was playing with a peculiar Burmese knife in his hand, the width of this knife was only an inch and a half, but the length was two zhang, flexible as a belt, extremely sharp, this Burmese knife is called "one zhang red" It is the most vicious kind of weapon, it can be whipped and stabbed, and it can hurt people when it is shot, and what is even more frightening is that if it is not a ruthless person, it is impossible to practice such a blade, only because of this knife's strange moves, once you shoot, even if there is a slight mistake, you will hurt yourself, if you don't have a ruthless heart, how can you fight with scars, practice such a blade, just look at this knife, Shi Ming knows that Ximen Rin's heart is ruthless, it is not just a rumor.
Seeing that Shi Ming was timid, Ximen Rin sneered: "I have long heard that the rouge scholar Qiu Suhua is infatuated with Dongyang Hou, and he is willing to devote himself to Chunshui Hall for the sake of his children's private feelings, but now it seems that this is indeed the case, otherwise how could he be so affectionate and concubine." As soon as these words came out, Shi Ming subconsciously pushed away the trembling delicate body in his arms, but Qiu Suhua felt a chill in his heart, thinking that his infatuation was already known to outsiders, only Shi Ming always pretended not to know, he was a woman in the rivers and lakes, after all, he was not as good as the lord of the county to love him, and at a thought, he only felt bored and cold.
Ximen Rin's eyes flashed, the Burmese knife shook out, and the sword light was like snow in an instant, rushing towards Shi Ming, Shi Ming felt ashamed and remorseful at the moment, seeing Ximen Rin advancing step by step, he also gave birth to an unyielding heart, the treasure knife was unsheathed, turned into a long rainbow, and fought forward, Qiu Suhua stood aside in a daze, but he didn't help, and he knew that the martial arts were far apart, and he couldn't join the battle between the two, so he could only look anxiously on the side.
After fighting one hundred and eighty moves, Shi Ming only felt that there was Ximen Rin's sword light all around, and the almost substantial sword wind condensed into a whirlpool that made it difficult to move an inch, and the thought of falling into a desperate situation was born in his heart, Shi Ming's mood became anxious, why didn't Qiu Suhua send a signal for help, even though there were no reinforcements in the branch, but there was still a garrison in the town, if they could be alarmed, they could find the opportunity to escape no matter what. But when he swept his eyes, he suddenly felt cold, only to see that Ling Chong had already been taken away, and Qiu Suhua and Ju Zhong were besieged by several black-clothed people who came at an unknown time, and they were able to save their lives because Qiu Suhua's secret weapon was very powerful, not to mention recruiting reinforcements. Knowing that most of the people today are dead and lifeless, Shi Ming has a desperate intention in his heart, and he can no longer care about retaining a little spare strength, the knife momentum changes, and the brilliance is suddenly sheng, as if the sky is flashing, rushing left and right, compared to the previous time when he fought with Ling Chong, the power is like a heavenly abyss, but a few knives have torn through the nets, and it is a situation of equal strength for a while, under the setback of the offensive, Ximen Rin's eyes are a little strange, and his eyes have become very sharp.
Shi Ming can no longer hide his origins, and is forced to display the secret "Great Light Knife" of the master, when he breaks the killing game under the Ximen Rin-Myanmar knife, but there is no trace of joy, he can feel that the internal force is like the spring snow melting, he does not have the strength to use this knife technique freely, but if not, he will not even have the strength to break through. Sure enough, only the seventh knife was cast, and the burst of sword light broke Ximen Rin's defensive position like a devastation, Ximen Rin was forced to take a few steps back, Shi Ming let out a long roar, and took the opportunity to pounce on Qiu Suhua and Juzhong, who were already on the verge of despair, and forced the black-clothed man who besieged the two to retreat with a knife. Qiu and Ju both strengthened their true qi, followed Shi Ming to break through the siege, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
The black-clothed men were about to pursue, but they heard Simon Rin say coldly: "That's it, let them go." These people stopped, there were eight of these black-clothed people, all of them were masked in green scarves, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but just looking at their vigorous posture and energetic eyes, they knew that these people must be very young, and looking at the murderous aura that almost came out of their bodies between their every move, they would understand why the two masters of Chunshui Hall were trapped by them.
After Ximen Rin ordered no more pursuit, he stood on the edge of the intersection with his hands conceited, his brows were tightly locked, and the look in his eyes changed myriadly. The man wiped off the veil, revealing a slightly childish young face, bowed down and saluted: "Lord Commander, why do you want to let these three people go, Chunshui Hall has been fighting against us for many years, and many of our elders have suffered from them, this time the adults are cultivating the plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, and surrounding their heads, why do you want to let them live?"
Ximen Rin retracted his thoughts, glanced at the young man with a confused expression, and smiled slightly, this time he came south, he did not select people from the eight groups of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang and Universe Flood Desolation, but just selected some young children in the Yanwutang to accompany him, the oldest of these teenagers is only nineteen years old, or the talents selected from the Youji Jiangmen family, or the orphans of the soldiers who died in battle, after the Yanshanwei training in the Yanwutang, they will either join the army or enter politics according to their talents, and may even be directly selected to Fengtai Pavilion. This time, Ximen Rin went south, and he chose these eight young entourage, which also meant to let them see the world.
So although their question was a bit reckless, Ximen Rin didn't mean to blame at all, after all, these teenagers are amazingly talented, but after all, they are too young and have rarely experienced the wind and waves, so they have such questions, if they are a few years older, they don't need to ask these questions.
In fact, Ximen Rin really has a chance to kill these three people, and he will definitely not do it, the purpose of driving the trouble of Chunshui Hall has been achieved, if he offends Yue Guogong too much, he will only cheapen others. It's just that Ximen Rin didn't want to say these things to them, and only hoped that they would understand it themselves, so he just said lightly: "This is still the territory of Yue Guogong, we can't be too arrogant, and we have to go through the river when we return, and now it's just a heavy blow to Chunshuitang, let them lie dormant for a while, and lest they make waves in Qingzhou." ”
Although he said vaguely, there were a few quick-thinking teenagers who had already understood Ximen Rin's intentions, this time His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated, there were rumors that it was the king's mastermind, and Chunshuitang's eyeliner in Qingzhou was almost doing his best to sow discord and spread rumors, presumably it angered His Royal Highness the Prince, so the commander would frame Chunshuitang for instructing the assassin to assassinate His Royal Highness, first, to dispel the rumors, and secondly, to teach Chunshuitang a lesson, if this is the case, Chunshuitang may not try to refute it, but it can be pushed away, after all, the two families have a deep grudge, and it is useless to argue, but it seems to show weakness, but if you really kill the master of Chunshui Hall, Dongyang Hou Shiming, and the beloved son-in-law of Yue Guogong, it will be an endless situation.
Several young men who understood looked at Ximen Rin with reverence, admiring the commander's scheming more and more, but Ximen Rin ignored their nonsense, turned around and walked to Ling Chong, probed his pulse, and found that the prohibition placed by Shi Ming on him was extremely vicious, which was also one of the reasons why the three of them and the others ignored it. If it weren't for their confidence that no one would be able to save Ling Chong, they wouldn't let go so easily, even if they fled, they would have killed Ling Chong before leaving, and it was precisely because they knew that Ling Chong couldn't be cured that they would be reluctant to do it on the spot, so as not to anger Ximen Rin and make it more and more difficult to get out. However, after Ximen Rin saw Shi Ming's last few sword moves, he already knew Shi Ming's origin, and Shi Ming must be a disciple of the Demon Gate Bright Sect. Unexpectedly, the sect that likes to compete for power and profit among the demon sects has penetrated into the core of the Tang clan, although the demon gate is divided, but it still has an unknown tacit understanding, whether it is their own master, or hostile to each other, they will not be killed seriously, in fact, Ximen Rin is between the two of them about whether to kill Shi Ming, if he hadn't seen him use the "Great Light Knife", he wouldn't let go so easily, at least he had to destroy most of his skills. It was precisely because he recognized the origin of Shi Ming that Ximen Rin did not intend to intercept Shi Ming, after all, the secrets of martial arts of the Demon Sect were recorded by the Martial Arts Sect, and although the prohibition under Shi Ming was ruthless, it still failed to get out of the scope of the Demon Gate, so Ximen Rin only thought about it for a while, and then reached out to unlock the prohibition on Ling Chong's body.
