Chapter 1150: The Old Man
The Huaixi Pavilion was quiet, and the courtyard where the Shule State Mission lived was even quieter, no matter what Gu Shenwei said, it didn't look like something was going to happen here, Tie Linglong searched around, and left with confidence.
She prefers this kind of life, there are too many intrigues in the palace of King Shule, King Shule is an ambitious and incapable person, he will come up with new ideas at any time, no one can stick to it, and in the end he is firmly held in his hands by King Kang Shangliao.
Tie Linglong really couldn't be interested in this, she just wanted to keep the surname of this half-brother, and she didn't care who the Shule Kingdom belonged to.
The Dragon King is different - in her heart, Brother Gu is still the Dragon King - although he is always hidden, but he is confident, he has already made a plan, there will always be danger by his side, and there will always be a solution, provided that he has to keep his eyes open, and the Dragon King will not take into account the surname of the soldiers.
Tie Linglong turned into the alley, did not stop in the fifth room on the right, but continued to move forward, until the people at the end of the alley, he looked back and jumped over the wall.
Someone is tracking.
Tie Linglong sneered secretly, this is what she was waiting for, it was too boring to be in danger, she hid under the wall, held the single knife that was not very smooth, and let go immediately, she still preferred to use her yin finger.
Han Wuxian, the hall master of Xiaoyue Hall, was dead, and no one could use her Yin Finger to control her anymore, even the Dragon King couldn't find a reason to oppose it, and Tie Linglong was ready.
The stalker was cautious, and after a while jumped to the top of the wall, watched for a moment and jumped down.
The target is still in the air, Tie Linglong points out, and the ambition is bound to win.
The stalker's martial arts and reaction exceeded Tie Linglong's expectations, he did not change his tricks to save himself, but instantly drew his sword and stabbed out, making the same trick that ended up.
Tie Linglong made the first move, but the enemy's sword was longer, she could hit the target, but she could also be pierced because of this, when facing the enemy, there was no time to think about which option was better, Tie Linglong could only avoid it sideways, losing the best chance to sneak attack.
Neither of them made a sound, but they made three moves in the corner, and the moves were ruthless, and they both wanted to kill each other immediately.
After three moves, Tie Linglong found himself in a disadvantageous position, this person's swordsmanship was surprisingly powerful, it seemed to be stronger than Chu Nanping, and the moves were strict, which was very different from the martial arts of the Western Regions, Tie Linglong was difficult to adapt to for a while, and he couldn't get close to the enemy with his yin fingers alone, and it was too late to draw his sword.
The stalker was also surprised, thinking that even women in the Western Regions were so ruthless, and he couldn't be soft.
"Who's outside?" The courtyard of this house was very small, and there was a bedroom a dozen steps away, and the owner inside heard the noise and cried out, "My family is so poor that they can't even eat, so they steal it from another house." ”
Tie Linglong stopped at the same time as the stalker, crouching in the shadows, only five paces apart.
The owner muttered a few words, as if to persuade his wife and children not to worry, he was tired and didn't want to go out to check in the middle of the night, "Maybe it's a cat catching a mouse, let's sleep." ”
The room gradually fell silent, and then the snoring began again.
Tie Linglong wanted to draw the knife, but she knew that as long as she made a slight move, the other party would attack, and if she waited, the result would be the same, and she was in trouble.
The long sword stabbed, the distance of five steps was as if it had never existed, Tie Linglong could retreat, and fell into passivity, until she was stabbed, she gritted her teeth, turned sideways to meet the long sword with her left shoulder, and drew the sword with her right hand, rather than being seriously injured to make up for the disadvantage of the weapon.
The Dragon King once said that a little advantage is also an advantage, which is why the sword is always more powerful than the bare hands, and as for the situation where the strength is too different, it doesn't matter what to use.
What happened next was even more unexpected, the long sword actually passed by, only cutting through her clothes, leaving a very shallow scar, and she successfully pulled out a single knife and pointed it directly at the enemy's chest.
She stopped the knife just in time, because it was no longer necessary, the stalker was attacked from behind, his body stiffened, and he did not resist her knife, and after a while, the sword fell to the ground, and the man fell forward.
"Don't let people sleep?" the master was awakened again, angry, put on his coat, grabbed the flat pole at the door, pushed the door and looked, the moonlight was leaking, there was no one, where did the thief come from? ”
Tie Linglong held the long sword, and the other person carried the stalker, and at the same time climbed over the wall and went out, Tie Linglong beckoned, and took the man and the captive back to the real settlement courtyard.
There was no one in the house, Tie Linglong was taken aback, touched the door twice, and felt a little at ease, there were three scratches carved by Chu Nanping on the door frame, indicating that he was not in danger, this was a little trick set by the two, and outsiders couldn't understand it.
She was finally able to ask the savior who appeared in time, "When did you come to the capital, and why did you follow me?"
The young man put the prisoner in his hand on the ground, tore off two pieces of his clothes, and plugged his ears, "I've been here for a while, and I've been monitoring the Huaixi Pavilion and found that you were being followed, so ...... I came along. ”
Tie Linglong tilted her head and looked at the young man in the dark, feeling that his voice was not the same as what she remembered, "You...... When did the martial arts become more powerful than me?"
The two used to compete in martial arts, and Tie Linglong was usually a step ahead, but now she has Harmony and Yin Finger, but she didn't expect to fall behind.
Nie Zeng listened to her voice, still feeling flustered, but his tone was calm and calm, in the past six years, he has not only practiced martial arts on the grassland, but also has a mature will, "King Khan invited me a few famous teachers, I have been practicing, and this person's attention is on you, I just succeeded in a sneak attack." ”
Tie Linglong still has this vision, although Nie Zeng was a sneak attack just now, but there was no warning before the move, and if he succeeded, the enemy didn't even have a chance to react, which was not a fluke.
She shook her head, let go of the many doubts in her heart, and suddenly remembered something, "Why are you spying on the Waixi Pavilion......?" A few days ago, you killed four Qingcheng faction **, and you also assassinated the lotus girl, right?"
Nie Zeng hesitated for a while before nodding, "It's me, it's a pity that the success is lost, Han Fen is very vigilant, and after that, he set up a lot of mechanisms in the house, and I never found a chance again." ”
"Do you have a grudge against the lotus girl?" Tie Linglong's eyes widened, feeling that Nie Zeng seemed to be a different person.
"I have no enmity with her, I am the Khan King, he wants to avenge the old Khan King, he said that only in this way can he get the blessing of the old Khan King's spirit in heaven. ”
Tie Linglong had some understanding of the events of the year, and the surprise of the reunion slowly turned into vigilance, "So, you came to the Central Plains to be an enemy of Brother Gu?"
"I don't think that way, and I'm no match for him. Nie Zeng lowered his head, in Huo Yun's room, the two had a trick, Nie Zeng had to admit that after six years of hard training, he still couldn't catch up with the Dragon King, "So I told the King of Khan that I would come to the Central Plains alone, and I would go back to the grassland immediately after I succeeded, and we didn't want the Dragon King to know the details." ”
"Do you want me to keep it a secret for you?" Tie Linglong swapped the sword to her left hand and pressed her right hand on the hilt, she wouldn't make any more careless mistakes.
"I want you to keep it a secret, but that's up to you. It's nice to see you again, by the way, the Huaixi Pavilion is not safe now, there are seven or eight people setting up an ambush there, this person is one of them, I can only hide outside the museum, you have to be careful. ”
"Seven or eight, why didn't I find any of them?" Tie Linglong was surprised.
"They immediately avoided you when they found you, and I guess their target is the Dragon King. ”
"Aren't you going to help the Dragon King?"
Nie Zeng shook his head, "I can't help him, and he doesn't need my help." Well, goodbye. ”
Tie Linglong's hand let go of the hilt, feeling that his vigilance against Nie Zeng was really ridiculous, "I haven't thanked you yet." ”
"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence. Nie Zeng walked out of the room, he didn't want to say how many times he had looked at her window in the process of monitoring the Huaixi Pavilion, let alone how relieved and disappointed he was to see her with Xiao Chu, and he couldn't even mention Chu Nanping's name.
Tie Linglong stood silently for a while, sighed softly, walked to the captive, turned him over, and pressed his long sword against his heart, "Swordsmanship is good, but if you want to kill someone, martial arts alone is not enough." ”
The captive's eyes couldn't see clearly in the dark, but he didn't seem to be too afraid, Tie Linglong remembered that the other party's ears were plugged, so he picked out the strip of cloth with the tip of the sword, and the head was not very good, cutting the captive's ear, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know how to use the sword, and it's so dark, but this is your sword, I can't complain about it." ”
The captive still didn't speak or move, and Tie Linglong muttered: "Nie Zeng has even learned to point points, it seems that the King of Khan has spent a lot of money on him, and the lotus girl is a little dangerous." ”
Tie Linglong shrugged, she didn't have much affection for the lotus girl and Han Fen, so she didn't care about their life and death, raised her sword, prepared to stab the captive to death with a sword, and then went to find Chu Nanping.
"Wait a minute. A voice behind him said.
Tie Linglong turned abruptly, and the man grabbed her wrist to stop the indiscriminate sword.
"Brother Gu, you're finally back. Tie Linglong let out a long breath, a little flustered in her heart, wanted to say something, closed her mouth again, and finally asked, "You just arrived?"
"I came here once just now, and asked Xiao Chu to take Liang Zhuangtou to Xizhuang thirty miles away, I went to Huaixi Pavilion to look for you, I went around, I didn't find any trace of you, and I just came back. I think we're missing out. ”
"It should be. Tie Linglong hesitated, but the captive in front of him couldn't explain it, so he had to say: "This person is following me and wants to kill me, someone secretly rescued me, I look at that person...... It seems to be Nie Zeng. ”
"Nie Zeng?"
"Or maybe I'm wrong. ”
"Well, don't worry about him for now, you go after Xiao Chu, he will leave you a mark on the road. ”
Tie Linglong nodded, reversed the long sword, handed it to Gu Shenwei, walked out of the room by himself, and went over the wall to catch up with Chu Nanping.
Gu Shenwei sat the captive on the ground, he didn't know how to point the acupoint, and naturally he wouldn't solve it, so he could only take the most simple and rude method, pressing his right palm on the back of the captive, inputting a strong true qi, and instantly breaking through the acupoint.
The captives spat out a large amount of blood, the acupuncture was unraveled, and the man was seriously injured.
Gu Shenwei turned to the captive and threw the long sword on the ground, "Which one of the Luo family are you?"
The captives looked at him hatefully and did not say a word.
"Go back and tell Luo Pingying to go to Chengjiazhuang to find me, the matter should be over. (To be continued.) )
