Let's not talk about Qiao Yisheng in Jinan Qiaofu and Qianhemen East and West Protectors talking about the specific matters of bodyguards, and outside Hangzhou, Sun bullies and many families are aggressively tracking down the two girl sisters.

The second grandfather Sun who was killed was the brother-in-law of Cai Yuanmao, the prefect of Hangzhou, and the Sun family has always been a big grain merchant in Hangzhou, so the second grandfather Sun is rich and powerful, and he is tyrannical and unscrupulous in Hangzhou.

This time, Sun Erye was killed mysteriously, more than 100 thugs from the Sun Mansion rushed to the restaurant with weapons in hand, the two sisters had already left, and the diners were so frightened that they ran away, leaving only the man in black who wielded the knife.

The thugs didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and rushed up, but the man in black didn't answer, and flew out of the window with light skills.

The direction chosen by the man in black was exactly the opposite of the direction in which the sisters left, he was trying to lure away these wicked people, so he did not let go of his speed, and always kept a distance of about ten zhang from these thugs.

The officials of the Hangzhou City Government have now joined the chase. It turned out that someone had already reported to Cai Shikun, the prefect of Hangzhou, when Cai Shikun was playing with his ninety-ninth concubine in the back hall, and when he heard the news, he immediately ordered the officials of the whole mansion to arrest and assist the Sun family to chase down the black-clothed killer.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black had arrived outside the city. How could the soldiers guarding the city gate put it in his eyes, and with three strokes and two blows, he passed the soldiers guarding the city. He ran forward for more than a mile, and there were many fewer people chasing after him. Although they could all see that the man in black was close in front of them, they couldn't catch up. Originally, these people also had some kung fu foundation, but under the control of the man in black, after running out of the city, many people were tired and collapsed, and only some people with slightly higher kung fu were still struggling to catch up.

When the man in black saw that there were still forty or fifty people chasing him, he stopped and turned around. The forty or fifty people hurriedly stopped, adjusted their breathing, and took their weapons. The leader was a black-faced man, and after standing still, he thought about it, and felt that he should explain a few words first, so he shouted: "Boy, you have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you dare to kill our second master." ”

None of these people watched the scene at the scene, and the people who saw it would not live to the present. They just heard from the diners who ran out that there was a man in black who killed Second Master Sun.

The man in black looked at them, sneered, and slowly pulled out the treasure knife in his waist. The knife of the man in black has a peculiar shape, the back of the knife is very thick, and it is the thickness of an index finger. The blade is also very wide, a full four inches wide. However, the length of the knife is very short, only half the length of an ordinary knife. The material of this knife is also very special, crystal clear, glowing with a golden light, but not gold, non-silver, non-copper, non-iron, which is amazing. The scabbard of this knife has a simple shape, and the man in black usually pins the knife to his waist.

With the sword out of the sheath, the forty or fifty people are a little blind, it stands to reason that they are many and powerful, in the past in Hangzhou or as an uncle or pretending to be an uncle, but today I always feel that the scene in front of me is a little weird, but I can't say anything wrong.

One person, one sword, standing proudly, although the person is weak, but it gives people an invisible pressure; ten zhang away, forty or fifty rabble holding swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, originally there are many people, but they are afraid under the gaze of the man in black.

The confrontation between the two sides did not last long, and the black-faced man led by the rabble reluctantly adjusted his spirit under the pressure of the momentum of the man in black, and shouted: "Kill!"

In an instant, when forty or fifty people were about to rush over, the man in black had already arrived in front of them.

This time, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the man in black. The face of the man in black stopped unbiased in front of each of them, and they could clearly see the eyebrows of the man in black, one by one, so clear that they could be counted, and they could also see the black eyes of the man in black, although they were looking at them, but the focus was cast into the distance.

In this instant, the man in black had already walked the distance from the first chaser to the last chaser. The knife slashed through the air in a beautiful arc and returned to its sheath accurately, and the man in black gently waved his sleeve without taking away a drop of blood.

"Forty-seven, whose head is this account?" the man in black floated in the direction of Hangzhou City. And the forty-seven pursuers could never go back—

Hangzhou will never lose the excitement of the night because of some trivial things during the day. The most luxurious restaurant on the shore of West Lake is still crowded and business is booming.

There is also a two-story small building behind the restaurant, facing the West Lake, which has a better view, but it is not as noisy as the previous building. In the living room on the east side, a gorgeously dressed strong man is holding a beautiful woman in his left and right hands drinking and having fun. The hall is covered with light veils all around, and the light of the candles is not very bright, so anyone who looks at this middle-aged strong man at first glance will be surprised: Isn't this the second master Sun who died in the restaurant during the day?

Suddenly, the light veil fluttered in front of the window, and the man who looked like Second Master Sun stood up suddenly, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the two women who accompanied the wine out. Two men flashed in outside the door.

One of the men who came in was tall and thin, with a long black beard, and the other was short and fat, with no white beard. The tall and thin man arched his hand to the person who looked like Second Master Sun and said, "He's here." ”

The man said, "I know, he's going to come today." ”

The short and fat man spoke in a shrill voice: "Today he did things too ostentatiously in Hangzhou City, and so many people died, it will definitely bring us a lot of trouble in the future." ”

"Don't kill your brother in the first place if you're afraid of trouble. The voice of the man in black during the day suddenly appeared. With the sound, the man in black floated into the house through the window.

"Boss!" The tall and thin man suddenly stood in front of someone who looked like Second Master Sun. It turns out that this person who looks like Sun Erye is the big boss of the Sun family's rice industry in Hangzhou, and the brother of Sun Erye who died in the restaurant today.

Master Sun looked at the man in black and said, "I put the silver ticket on the table, killing him is our family matter, you don't need to ask about this." ”

The man in black raised his hand and picked up the silver ticket, looked at it and said, "Your business has nothing to do with me, and whoever you kill is the same for me." It's just that there is a little problem today. ”

Sun Ji said in charge of the rice industry: "What's the problem?"

"When he killed your brother today, his family interfered, so he had to kill fifty-one more people. This account will also be settled. ”

Humpty Dumpty: "You are good at assassination, even if you are disturbed today, at most you will kill four of his followers." After completing the task, you can leave, why do you still stay in the restaurant to attract many family members to chase you, the forty-seven people who died outside the city are completely outside the scope of this business. ”

The man in black said disdainfully: "I will definitely not charge the full price of those people, I will give you a half-price discount, and quickly settle the money." ”

Humpty Dumpty still chattered and said, "You made such a big deal today, how much trouble you have caused to our big boss!"

The man in black turned his head to him, as if he had just discovered the existence of such a person. He said: "Sun Da's family is really better than his younger brother, and the bodyguard he invited turned out to be the Tiangang Disha under the command of Yun Tian. At the beginning, Master Sun could have sent the two of them to deal with your unsuccessful brother!"

Sun said: "They have other noble things to do so far, and how can I send the two grandmasters." ”

"It turns out that there is something else coming, so it has nothing to do with you. Master Sun, this honorarium ......," the man in black said coldly.

"This ......" Sun Dangjia looked at the heavens and asked them for help.

Humpty Dumpty spoke again: "Didn't I just say it clearly enough......?

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black's knife struck. The short and fat man dodged with a sensitive leap, and the tall and thin man drew his weapon, the black steel claws, and hit the man in black directly.

The man in black sneered, and even didn't pay attention to the tall and thin man's black steel claws, and continued to pursue Humpty Dumpty.

This living room is quite large, and the fight between the three of them can still be carried out. But the man in black dared to ignore the attack of the tall and thin old man, which surprised Tiangang. Originally, the black thin man had been pouring all his strength into guarding against the man in black, he knew how powerful this person was, and knew that this blow would not help him, just to delay the time. When Humpty Dumpty dodged the first blow of the man in black, he also counted on the entanglement of the tall and thin man with the man in black to give him some respite. However, the bold attack of the man in black made his wishful thinking wrong, and he was too busy to take out his weapon for a while.

The knife of the man in black would never leave the other party a chance to breathe, and Humpty Dumpty's carelessness cost him his life.

The knife of the man in black will never fail to protect himself. He dodged the tall, thin man's first attack, and after killing Humpty Dumpty, the sword drew a semicircle to repel the black skinny's second attack.

As soon as the black thin man saw that his companion had been killed, he immediately stopped attacking. He said: "Wuxing Swordsman, you can be regarded as a bond with Dashuai today. ”

"The handsome Yun Tianshou of the Demon Axe Gate does have some skills, but the other clowns of the Demon Axe Gate are not worth mentioning. You can go back and tell your boss if he's willing to marry me for this Humpty Dumpty. The man in black no longer paid attention to the black thin man who could only become a gang and a man now, and said to the head of Mi Yesun, "There is one more, settle the account!"

Sun Dangjia hurriedly took out the silver ticket from the camera obscura, and the man in black looked at it, put it in his arms and turned around and left through the window.

There were still two living people left in the house, one dead man, and Sun said, "Why didn't Dashuai kill this guy with all his strength just now." ”

The thin black man unveils his human skin mask, revealing a grimace mask. In the red sockets, the two eyeballs were dripping and rolling.

"The boss won't let us do it, saying that he will be useful if he is kept. ”

Sun said: "Isn't the white-faced gang who died just now wronged?"

"Don't be wronged, the second ghost elder killed the long-haired gang today. It just so happened that this white-faced gang was dead, even if he went to Yin Cao to accompany his senior brother. ”

"Second Elder Ghost?" Sun Dangjia exclaimed, "Aren't they also from the Demon Axe Sect!"

Yun Tianshou said: "The second ghost elder has achieved great achievements recently, the previous corpse chaser Dafa, because the quality of the corpse itself is not good enough, so the power is not great, and at that time they couldn't drive away the powerful corpse, now the great achievement of the divine skill is different, just need the corpses of two people with strong martial arts." Ben Shuai agreed with them to use the Heavenly Gang. In this way, the strength of the Demon Axe Gate will not only not decrease, but will increase greatly, because the dead are more obedient than the living!"

After a while, there was a pot and a black coffin in the house. The pale-faced Sun Dangjia hurriedly retreated under the signal of the handsome Yun Tianshou of the Demon Axe Gate-

There is a garden house in Qiao's Mansion in Jinan, which is where Qiao Yisheng lives. Sweeping away the luxury of the outside and the slaughter of the living room, the decoration is extremely simple. The wooden doors and brick walls are not painted, and the garden is only planted with seasonal vegetables and fruits. There were no antiques or rare animal skins on the walls of the house, but a painting of a young woman was hung. In the corner of the wall stood Qiao Yisheng's long knife. A wide belt hung beside the sword, on which were twelve golden darts pinned. In front of the window there was a table on which there was nothing but pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

In the room, Qiao Yisheng stood silent in front of the portrait with his hands in his hands. There was a person outside the door, Qiao Yisheng heard who he was from the footsteps of the comer, and said, "Come in." ”

Liude pushed the door in. Qiao Yisheng turned around, looked at Liude's gray hair, and said, "What do you think of those two young people just now?"

Liude said: "A first-class master, so young but with such cultivation, worthy of being born in Qianhe, it seems that Qianhe Zhenren is not only amazing in his own cultivation, but also one of the best in martial arts in terms of training disciples." What's more, these two people are not enough to represent the level of the Thousand Crane Protectors. ”

"Oh?"

"There are four major protectors of the southeast, northwest and northwest under the Qianhe Gate, and the southern protector Vermilion Bird Yan has always been the representative of the Qianhe to the outside world, and he traveled to the rivers and lakes earlier than the White Tiger and the Qinglong, so it can be seen that his strength should be better than the two we see today. As for the Northern Protector Xuanwu Ming, he is the only disciple of the late senior brother of Qianhe Zhenren, Puzhu Zhenren, and he has received the true inheritance, and the family master once said that Xuanwu Ming's strength can even be among the top ten masters. ”

Although the martial arts are very low, the teacher is very famous. Although his teacher, Mr. You Jiang's martial arts, is mediocre, he knows everything about the rivers and lakes. Legend has it that year, Mr. You Jiang and Shaolin monks were masters of the rivers and lakes at night. It is said that when the dawn of that night, Mr. You Jiang dipped his hand in tea and wrote ten words on the wooden table, representing the ten people he had seen with his own eyes and thought to be the highest martial arts.

Speaking of which, this Mr. You Jiang is now a 120-year-old old man. With such a master, it is not surprising that Liude knows more about the affairs of the rivers and lakes than Qiao Yisheng, the golden dart long knife.

Qiao Yisheng laughed and said, "If this Xuanwu Ming comes today, I will have a good discussion with him." Over the years, there have been many powerful characters in the rivers and lakes, plus the old guys who were not on the list but could not be ignored before, this rivers and lakes have begun to be lively, haha!"

Liude smiled and said, "The master is among the top ten masters, and his cultivation has reached the realm of returning to the basics. No matter how big the wind and waves in the rivers and lakes are, it is difficult to shake the four words of the golden dart long knife. ”

He paused and continued, "Now that the evil sect is rampant, it may be difficult for Chizuru to resist it with only the four protectors. ”

Liude used the word "resist", which shows that although Qianhe now relies on the foundation of Yushu, the power of the righteous path of martial arts is weak, and he is only on the defensive in the battle with the evil way.

Qiao Yisheng has no objection to his opinion. It can be seen that in addition to the fact that Liude is called "master", the difference between the master and servant of the two is not obvious. In fact, after decades of friendship, the two have long been like brothers. Qiao Yisheng's two daughters, Yao'er and Xiaoshan, also treated Liude like their own uncles.

"This time, Chizuru asked me to take a dart, which may also confirm this situation. Although Qianhe is gathered among the martial arts chivalrous people, there are few such chivalrous people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to take righteousness, and most of them are those who see the wind and rudder and bully others, but if those minions of the evil way cannot be annihilated, they will inevitably make waves again in the future. What's more, the core person behind it is so powerful. ”

Liude said: "Fighting with masters is fighting with their lives, and no one dares to say that they can retreat." In the past, everyone avoided this matter to avoid unnecessary damage, but now they really have to sacrifice their lives to fight, and there will still be a winner in the end. The world's martial arts are respected by the top ten masters. Generally, it is difficult for a martial arts master to support a move from any of the top ten masters. Although these ten people compete with each other, they are good at winning, but according to the past understanding, we can still rank the top ten masters.

"I think that only the real man of Qianzuru who relies on the magic of Qianhe to 'control the sword of all things' and the old man who combines ancient and modern martial arts can compete. And the remaining eight people are good at winning. However, I think that even if the 'Heavenly Thunder and Lightning Essence' has a terrifying skill, it may be difficult to compete with the Wubei Thieves for the third place. Although only one of the leaders of the righteous path is one of the top ten masters, and among the leaders of the evil path, only one of the five thieves is ranked among the top ten masters, and it seems that there is a tie. But the master of the five thieves is a stunt old man. In addition to the master, the other seven people are either good and evil, or neither good nor evil, it is difficult to guess the future choice, but it is certain that if there is such a big dispute in the martial arts, they will be like the master, it will be difficult for them to be detached from the body and be alone. ”

Qiao Yisheng walked to the table, picked up the pen and wrote down: "Sword, knife, shadow, dart, Buddha, truth, thief, absolute, king, electricity" These ten words, and then said: "When I first entered the master's door, there were already three masters in the rivers and lakes, one is a stunt old man who can still call the wind and rain, one is the senior brother of Qianhe Zhenren, Puzhu Zhenren, and the other is the 'Sword Soul' with strange and strange skills. I've heard that the old man of the stunt once invited the 'Sword Soul in Charge' to have a competition. But the outcome of that battle is unknown. It's just that the stunt old man retired afterwards, and the whereabouts of the 'Sword Soul' are unknown. After a short time, Puzhu Zhenren passed away, and the Qianhemen founded by his junior brother Qianhe Zhenren on the top of the Tianshan Mountains on Yulin Peak became the new master of martial arts in the rivers and lakes. After another ten years, the stunt old man's apprentice Wubei Thief created the Unrepentant Sect, and everything was aimed at Chizuru. It wasn't until many years later that we learned that the 'Sword Soul Command' veteran had long since passed away. If I have any regrets in this life, it's that I don't have the opportunity to see the 'Sword Soul'. ”

Liao De said: "The family teacher has seen the 'sword soul' with him. The family teacher once said that although the 'Sword Soul' has strange and strange skills and 'Murderous Qi by Lingling', he is not like a ruthless and bloodthirsty person. On the contrary, he is a hermit with a broad temperament, indifferent to fame and fortune, and not an ascetic.

At that time, the tutor met him on the West Lake painting boat, he cooked wine and played the piano, and recited poems and painted, surrounded by a group of courtesans. He once painted a landscape and gave it to his teacher, and the painting had a long and short sentence that he mentioned himself. I've seen it before, and I still don't forget it. The book says, 'The game is dirty and self-enjoying, not bound by the rivers and lakes, not visible for life, and fast to my will'.

Qiao Yisheng clapped his hands and said: "It's a good 'life is not obvious, to be quick with my ambition', it is really to preserve the authenticity of people." It seems that this 'Sword Soul in Charge' is actually a complete person!" Then he sighed, "This person's state of mind makes me envious, how can a certain family not want to be so unfettered by the rivers and lakes." However, I can't see this Jianghu anymore. ”

After a while, Qiao Yisheng said to Liude: "You go and prepare, I want to escort the dart to Kaifeng." ”

Liude's heart tightened, he had already understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, just nodded and turned to leave. When he arrived at the door, Liude stopped again, turned to Qiao Yisheng and said, "Master, this dart silver is very important, I think I might as well wait for Young Master Yu to come back and make plans."

Qiao Yisheng said: "My righteous brother Yuyan is now traveling through the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to find his traces. Besides, even if he finds it, it will take some time to summon him back, but I can't wait now. ”

Liude nodded and said, "I'll do my best to arrange it." "Then push the door and go out.

In this room, Qiao Yisheng was left alone, deep in thought. The red candle on the table is burning, and the expression of the beautiful woman on the painting is still the same. Qiao Yisheng looked at the portrait of his deceased wife, and the glory of decades shone in front of him, but a kind of loneliness that looked back at the emptiness behind him also came to his heart. Qiao Yisheng raised his palm and gently slapped out the candle, the loneliness in the house was the night outside the house, and this loneliness and this dark night instantly overwhelmed him.
