Chapter 10: A Maple Leaf, a Love
After Wu Shuang left in the carriage, the three chief managers of Songshan Manor gathered in one place, and they made the following analysis of the owner of the village going out alone with a sword;
"When did the owner leave?" Du Huixiong asked Han Xiao.
"It didn't take long, half an hour at most. ”
"And he brought his sword with him!" Zhang Wei added.
"Then he must have met a strong enemy!" She Gang said anxiously, "Come to Songshan Manor, the owner can go out with a sword, and at present, there is only a thrilling trip to the top of the sword!"
"So, he must be dealing with an enemy as terrible as the top of the Excalibur!" Du Huixiong muttered.
"And who will this terrible enemy be?" Zhang Wei muttered.
After that, he asked Han Xiao again: "Brother, what kind of strangers have come to Luoyan City in the past two days?"
"There have been a lot of strangers who have come to Luoyan City in the past two days," Han Xiao said, "Just like the big people in the rivers and lakes who live in the Fengming Inn Taiyuan City Lord Huyan Wujiang, there are at least ten or more people in the whole city, and as for those unknown strangers, there are hundreds or even thousands!"
"In this way, it is really impossible to determine who our owner is going to meet!" Du Huixiong muttered.
"At noon, according to the feedback from the brothers outside the city, there was a swordsman dressed in white and holding a brown scabbard, and he also held a bouquet of white orchids in his other hand, and walked into the city of Luoyan without hurry. "However, this person has neither walked into any inn nor visited any hotel, so his name, origin and identity cannot be queried." And, as far as the brothers observed, he did not speak to anyone along the way. ”
"Where did he end up?" asked Zhang Wei.
The brother said that he walked from the city gate to the opposite side of the street in front of the Fengming Inn, and stood under the big locust tree for a long time, as if waiting for someone. Han smiled and said, "After that, the brother who followed him saw our owner walk out of the Fengming Inn, and when he passed under the tree, they seemed to have said a few words, and as for what he said, the brother couldn't hear it from a distance." ”
"Is this person a young man with a white face and no beard?" Du Huixiong suddenly asked Han Xiao solemnly.
"Yes. ”
"He's still pretty?"
"It seems to be!"
"And he has to smell the flowers in his hand every few steps!"
"That's right. ”
"That's serious!" Du Huixiong said, his face pale.
Seeing this, everyone also had a premonition that something was wrong.
"What the hell?" She Gang asked him first.
"Have you heard of Nanping, the messenger of the flowers?" Du Huixiong asked everyone.
"I heard that he is a very terrible swordsman!" Zhang Wei said.
"Yes," Du Huixiong nodded and added, "This person, no one knows where he learned his strange and unpredictable swordsmanship, and so far no one who has learned his swordsmanship is still alive." This also includes the merchant Fort Swordsman Shang Rong, who has been in the rivers and lakes for 20 years and has no opponents. ”
"But Shang Rong, who is known as a sword flying immortal?" asked Zhang Wei.
"That's him. Du Huixiong added, "Five years ago, he died under the sword of Nanping, the messenger of flowers. ”
"Then this person is indeed terrifying!" Zhang Wei said with a panicked expression.
"So what are we going to do now?" She Gang asked the two of them eagerly.
"Split up?" Mr. Du said.
"How do you split up?"
"Let's each take some brothers and track and search the place where the owner goes, and we will soon find him!"
"This is the only way, and the best way!" Zhang Wei finally said.
So, they each took dozens of brothers, and all brought weapons, and chased them all the way in the direction where Wu Shuang was running.
Before leaving the city, each of them chose a direction and a road, and led their men to search separately.
At this time, She Gang and his group quickly left the south gate of the city, and also stepped on the big carriage road that Wu Shuang was sitting in just now.
"Uncle, did you see a young man in a white robe and a black sword passing by here?" asked She Gang.
"Not only did I see," muttered the older Orion, "that I was almost stabbed to death by his sword!"
"Then where is he now?" She Gang asked in surprise.
"Well, that maple grove is, right where the carriage is parked. Orion said as he pointed to the car parked on the edge of the maple grove.
So they ran straight to the carriage.
The old coachman was napping in the car, and it happened that She Gang knew him.
"Brother Ding, you don't go to pick up passengers, come here to sleep peacefully, be careful that your wife knows, she can't enter the house tonight!" She Gang called as he patted the car.
The old coachman was startled, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was an old acquaintance, so he smiled and said, "Don't scare my old man to death!" Do you want to take a car?" He raised his eyes and saw a large group of people behind She Gang, and then he thought that he must not be in a car, so he continued, "I thought you were going to ride in my car! ”
"You old thing, look who led people into a fight!" She Gang said playfully, "Be careful that we beat you up with this old bone." ”
Without waiting for the other party to reply, he asked him again with a serious face: "Have you seen our owner here?"
"The owner, is it new or old?"
"Of course it's new!"
"I don't know him. ”
"You're not talking nonsense!" She Gang said, "Then you still ask me about the new and old." ”
"Because I know the old one!"
"Don't be verbose," She Gang said eagerly, "The new owner is wearing a white robe and holding a black sheath sword, and he is very handsome......"
"Is that the young man with a smile on his face?" said the other without waiting for him to finish.
"Hmm! ”
"Inside. The old coachman looked up at the sun that was about to set, pointed to the woods, and said, "I'm afraid he's dead now!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, old ghost!" he didn't expect She Gang to suddenly lash out.
So the old coachman muttered, "That's what he told me when he went in just now." ”
"What did he say?"
"He said that if he doesn't come out before the sun sets, he will trouble me to go in and move him out and send him back to Songshan Manor!"
"Ahh She Gang said in a panic, waving his hand, "Go, follow me!"
He was the first to run into the woods.
There used to be a bleak moment of Luoxia and a lonely bird flying together, and there was also a sparse situation of wild crossing without a boat, and also witnessed the tragic scene of the unprovoked people in Yangguan in the west;
Indeed, the swordsmanship of the two people in front of him are the best masters in the world today, and the duel between them may be described most accurately by being indescribable, but in this way, it is difficult for those who have not witnessed it to imagine the excitement of that time.
In this case, my stiff bald pen will have to give it a try!
Nanping's sword is just like his person, clear, elegant, calm, and calm with strange and strange; sometimes, Wu Shuang obviously saw his sword stabbing straight at him, but when he saw that the moment he swung out of the block, the opponent's sword blade suddenly changed, turning into an oblique diamond or a light carving; sometimes, he seemed to feel that the opponent's sword was not hard steel, but a soft spirit snake. Just when he thought it was going to stab from the front, there was a sudden sound of a sword moving from behind him.
In this way, in the forest of maple leaves, the two of them dismantled ninety-nine moves and still did not distinguish between victory and defeat.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wu Shuang's mood seemed to be more and more anxious, so the sword in his hand became more and more urgent; however, Nanping was still calm, he was like a child who was used to the darkness of the night, and he was even more excited when he saw that the sun was about to set. Therefore, his sword became more and more calm.
At this moment, the evening autumn wind carried the loneliness of frost and cold, and blew down the fiery red maple leaves, which fluttered down in front of the two swordsmen. At this moment, a dragon roared, and there was a chilling crash.
The two of them are like fluttering in the fallen leaves, and the fallen autumn leaves are like flying blood.
A little cold light shone, Wu Shuang's left hand waved, and at the same time, the sword in his right hand stabbed straight out; So, Nan Ping smiled! Because he seemed to see the hole in Wu Shuang's defense, he had a chance of winning, he aimed at Wu Shuang's throat and stabbed out with a sword.
The sword is like the wind, fast and shadowless, and the yin and yang are far away in an instant!
At that moment, Nanping looked at the fallen leaves with a smile and satisfaction, but when all the fallen leaves had settled, there was still a fallen leaf in front of him that had not landed. Then his smile suddenly stiffened again, and his smiling face suddenly swept through the breath of death.
The reason why the fallen leaf did not fall to the ground was because Wu Shuang's sword blade pushed it in front of his eyes, and the reason why his sword could not be recovered was because his sword had pierced into the scabbard that Wu Shuang's left hand held.
Therefore, what awaits Nanping now is not only the dark night of sunset, but also eternal death!
