Chapter 28: The Night Before Dawn
In a teahouse in Tai'an City, a man with a spear behind him sat in the corner, closing his eyes and resting. In the teahouse, some people looked here from time to time, with a hint of fear in their eyes, but the man didn't react at all, and didn't care at all.
Treading ......
The sound of footsteps came, although a man was a man, but he looked like a woman, his movements were very bewitching, with a hand that made the woman even more envious, touching his own hair, if you look closely, you can see that this person's hand is tragically wrapped with transparent threads, and it is dense in circles and circles.
When the people around saw this man, they all showed nervousness or fear on their faces and got out of the way.
"Slave, can you sit down?"
The man called himself a slave, his voice was numb, and the man with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes, looking at the man in front of him who was even more female than a woman, without the slightest expression, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Whatever you want. ”
The man's voice was cold, and there were only two of them, and he closed his eyes again.
The bewitching man showed a smile, sat down opposite the man in a big red robe, and at the same time picked up the teapot and naturally poured himself a cup.
After taking a sip, he said, "You came a little early, and there is still one day to do Xing's business." ”
Suddenly, a cold chill suddenly spread out in all directions, and the man with the spear on his back looked at the other party, as if he was going to kill the other party here in the next moment, and the spear behind him made a burst of gunfire sounds.
The entire teahouse was like an ice cellar for a while, and the nerves of the people around them instantly tensed, and they all looked towards this place.
However, the bewitching man didn't care, chuckled, and played with the teacup in his hand.
"Zhao Changbing, don't waste your strength, let's stay some and wait for tomorrow's robbery!"
Zhao Changbing didn't speak, but the cold cold air slowly disappeared, and he closed his eyes again, and the spear was not shaking, and he stayed quietly on his back.
Since being rescued by Liu Shisan, Zhao Changbing has been recuperating from his injuries, but he left after his injuries were healed, and he just broke through the mirror and stepped into the hermit realm, he needed a tempering to stand firmly on this realm, so he chose to travel.
It's just that then he met a person, the one in front of him now.
The silver thread of the black snake, the seamler!
It was as if the other party had been waiting for Zhao Changbing to appear.
I don't know why, when this black snake master met Zhao Changbing, he didn't kill him, but after injuring the other party, he let the other party go.
It's just that every time Zhao Changbing recovers from his injury, he appears again.
Once, twice, three times, the two don't know how many times!
Until Zhao Changbing became stronger and stronger, in the end, he was actually on par with this quilter.
It's just that after the final battle, the seamstress man left, leaving behind the news that the imperial court was going to behead Li Hu.
The battle between the two lasted for more than a month, and it was also tempered in this month, so that Zhao Changbing could have today's achievements, and it can also be said that without this knife sharpener of the seam, Zhao Changbing's knife would not be opened so quickly.
The seamstress man leaned against the wall, holding a teacup in his hand, but his Danfeng eyes kept staring at Zhao Changbing, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time.
......
Changle Fuzhong!
Bai Sheng saw Liu Xi'er's grandfather again, and he vaguely guessed the identity of this old man, and the old man who could make Liu Shisan willing to escort him was afraid that there was only one in the sword house.
Bai Sheng once saw a story in a book, which was about an old immortal who was respected as the sword god by the people of the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago.
I remember that at that time, Bai Sheng admired this senior master very much, and at a young age, he wanted to be like the other party, a sword to break through the rivers and lakes, and now his wish has come true, and the senior master who has always admired has also seen it.
"I really didn't expect that the little boy of Lianshanhe would actually give you this red sandalwood that is like life. ”
Old Man Liu held the red sandalwood sword, couldn't help but say curiously, put his finger on the sword, and tapped it gently, and a sword sound sounded.
Bai Sheng touched his head a little embarrassed, but nodded, as for why he got this red sandalwood, he didn't say, of course, Liu Xi'er's grandfather didn't ask.
"Grandpa, that proves that Xiao Baisheng's kendo talent is very high, and people will give him this sword. Liu Xi'er said proudly, for the red sandalwood sword, she, the little princess of the sword house, naturally knows.
"Kendo talent?" Old Man Liu looked at his granddaughter, really embarrassed to hit her sweetheart in front of her.
"It's okay, after practicing for decades, you should be able to achieve something. In the end, Old Man Liu really couldn't stand his granddaughter, and he turned his elbow out before he left the cabinet, so he had to say something to hit him.
"Is Xiao Bai Sheng that bad?" Liu Xi'er asked as she looked at Bai Sheng in disbelief.
Kendo talent? Bai Sheng couldn't help but think about it, under the teaching of a great grandmaster, he had only learned a little bit of Feixing so far, talent?
"Seems to have a spread?"
Hearing Bai Sheng's answer, Liu Xi'er looked depressed, and then her eyes couldn't help but turn and said, "Grandpa, why don't you teach Xiao Baisheng?"
"Don't teach, I don't teach. ”
"Just teach, as long as you teach, I will pinch your shoulders and hammer your legs for grandpa in the future." Liu Xi'er began to gamble.
"A month. ”
"Half a month"
"Then I won't teach. ”
"That's a month. Liu Xi'er gritted her teeth and agreed.
"That's not a hurry. Master Liu raised his eyebrows, looked like a winner, and said.
Liu Xi'er hurriedly came to Old Man Liu and began to pinch his shoulders, just looked at Bai Sheng and winked at him, Bai Sheng looked excited!
"Do you know what a sword is?"
Hearing Old Man Liu's question, Bai Sheng knew that the other party was teaching him, so he hurriedly sat down seriously and thought about it, but he didn't have a clue at all.
"Please ask the seniors to solve their doubts!"
"The sword is everything, not sticking to one thing, every grass and leaf can be a sword!"
When the words fell, I saw that Old Man Liu made a move at any time, and a leaf fell into his hand, and then he slashed at the table in front of him with two fingers, and instantly cut it into two pieces, and the leaf was not damaged at all.
The leaves were still leaves, but the moment they were cut off, they turned into swords.
"Got it?"
Bai Sheng looked shocked, and only then did he come back to his senses and nodded.
"Then do you know what kendo is?"
Bai Sheng shook his head.
"The sword is all things, and all things are the sword, then a grass and a leaf are the way of the sword. ”
It was also a leaf, but Bai Sheng felt different from just now, as if the leaf at this time had become extremely tall, like a towering tree, as if it was going to be higher than the sky.
"This is my kendo. ”
Bai Sheng looked at each other, and only felt that the old man Liu at this moment, like a man high in the sky, seemed to be about to trample this piece of heaven and earth under his feet, and he could fight with the sky with a sword.
Yes, that's how Bai Sheng feels now!
"If you want to practice swords, you must find your own way in these thousands of swords, if you can't find it, you can only be regarded as a person who can use swords for the rest of your life. ”
Bai Sheng kowtowed three times to Old Man Liu, and the grace of the profession should be repaid with courtesy!
Bai Sheng began to practice swords, not so much that he was holding the red sandalwood, pondering, he was looking for his own swordsmanship, but now he seemed to be a flat boat in the sea, with no direction, and he didn't know where to go!
Liu Xi'er looked at Bai Sheng, who was immersed in her own world, she didn't bother the other party, just stayed aside and quietly accompanied the other party!
I don't know how long it has been, Liu Xi'er has fallen asleep on the side, Bai Sheng has come back to his senses, and has found that it is dark outside the window, looking at Liu Xi'er who is sleeping next to him, he took off his robe and covered her body, and he got up and walked to the window and looked at the brightly lit Tai'an outside.
He didn't even think that his thought was a day, and he couldn't help but think of a story in a book, someone had a dream, and when he woke up, it was already a hundred years!
"If it's kendo, it's so easy to find, and there are so many people in this world who are still running around, I'm too anxious. ”
Bai Sheng muttered in a low voice, stretched his waist, came to Liu Xi'er's side, looked at her sleeping, and still had a smile on his face from time to time, not knowing what he dreamed of.
"I don't know what Lao Gai is doing?"
Bai Sheng couldn't help but think of the departing Lao Gai, he didn't know what the other party was doing behind his back, and he wanted to wait for two days to see the other party and have to torture him.
Just as he was thinking, Liu Xi'er woke up, opened her hazy eyes, and was looking at the day smiling at herself, and couldn't help blushing.
"Are you awake?" Bai Sheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that Liu Xi'er was awake.
Words are superfluous, just in the face of their own hearts, there is nothing to say!
"Yes, wake up. Liu Xi'er responded, and then said angrily: "I thought you were thinking about it for a few days." ”
Bai Sheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed!
"By the way, I got news from your stepfather. Liu Xi'er seemed to remember something and said.
"What, where is my stepfather?" Bai Sheng couldn't help but be shocked and excited, and hurriedly asked.
"I said, don't get excited, be calm, or I won't say it. Liu Xi'er said with a worried face.
Bai Sheng seemed to know something, but he forced himself to calm down before he spoke: "Is my stepfather going to be beheaded?"
Liu Xi'er looked surprised, she didn't expect Bai Sheng to know.
"Tomorrow. ”
Bai Sheng couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the imperial city in the center of Tai'an City, where there was a friend of his, but he had been in the city for two days without any news from him, and his father-in-law asked him, he must know why he didn't tell himself in advance, even if he could tell himself now, but there was no news at all.
"Little Baisheng, go, this time my grandfather will help you, you will definitely be able to save your stepfather." Liu Xi'er said with a serious face.
"Thank you. Bai Sheng looked at Liu Xi'er, not knowing how to thank the woman in front of him, only a word of thanks, a thousand words!
The boy and girl were alone in the same room, telling each other their own stories, Bai Sheng said that Liu Xi'er listened, and Liu Xi'er said that Bai Sheng listened.
Hearing Bai Sheng's story, she realized that so many stories had happened in this short period of time, and at this time, she suddenly wanted to meet Wu Qi and Lao Gai.
And when Bai Sheng heard Liu Xi'er's story, he knew that the other party actually broke away from the caravan to the capital for his own sake, and left first to come to Tai'an, because of the promise made by the two of them, Liu Xi'er was afraid that it would be too late, and Bai Sheng would not be able to find himself.
The night was quiet, but in this hut, there were still whispers until dawn!
......
In the imperial city, in the corner hall, Liang San has been on hunger strike for two days, and he has not drunk a drop of water, but the person in the deep palace hall has not sent a will, as if if he wants to kneel, he will continue to kneel.
"I think Lao Bai must hate me now!"
Liang Shan looked ahead, as if he saw Bai Sheng who was too safe in the depths, and saw that the other party knew that his father-in-law was about to be beheaded, and he didn't reveal any news to him.
"Lao Bai, if you and I were still alive, I would definitely give you an explanation. ”
Liang Shan whispered, his back, which was about to bend, straightened up again at this moment, and his eyes were still unwilling, even if he really knelt here, he would not waver a bit!
......
On the third floor, a crowd of people was wandering around, as if they were looking for something, and as if they were recording something!
A middle-aged man with a wooden box on his back glanced at the high guillotine, then turned and left, hiding in the darkness!
An old beggar appeared here, took a quilt from nowhere, and slept here, just like an ordinary beggar.
Outside the city, Mu Nanfeng, who was carrying a wooden box, took advantage of the darkness to enter the city, without any stop, and headed towards the Yu family.
Zhao Changbing, who was in the tea shop, opened his eyes, looked at the seamsome man who had never left in front of him and said, "Are you going to stop me?"
"Why don't you stop it?"
Zhao Changbing didn't speak, just laughed it off, and turned his head to look at the guillotine in the distance, where there would be a fierce battle tomorrow.
......
In the palace, a man riding a white tiger and a man holding a double hammer walked out of the main hall and came all the way to the top of the ninth floor, looking into the distance.
Thousands of elite soldiers had gathered below them, as if they were preparing for a big battle.
"The Holy Emperor gambled this time, a bit of a gamble! Finally, some masters have been cultivated, and this time I don't know how many people will die. ”
The man riding the white tiger said slowly, with a wry smile on his face.
"If you don't gamble, it will be a way to ruin in the end, it is better to gamble once, at least not necessarily in the end. The man with the double hammer smiled and said!
"If I hadn't been angry with that person because of that incident, I think that the martial arts of the Eastern Han Dynasty should be as prosperous as the scorching sun!"
The man holding the double hammer couldn't help but be silent when he heard it, yes! If he hadn't been angry with that person back then, and if the incident hadn't happened for fifteen years, would the current rivers and lakes of the Eastern Han Kingdom still be like this?
One of these two people is the general of the Black Feather Army, Ye Yu, and the other is the general of the White Tiger Army, Chen Hou.
......
In the magnificent deep palace, a man in a yellow robe who was not angry and arrogant stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the bright moon in the sky that was about to be covered by dark clouds, frowning.
"Draw up a holy decree, no matter if you win or lose this time, let Liang Shan leave here. ”
A father-in-law behind him bent over and answered.
Tai'an, not in peace, the night is like a devil coming from the nine shadows, slowly devouring the entire imperial city!
