Chapter 39: The Duel

Several people got drunk and broke up.

Lin Fanghe pushed away the cup, dropped the silver taels, walked out alone, and rushed back to his residence across the street. He walked down the alley down the street. At this time, the moon is sinking, and the starlight is faint. The high walls on both sides block it, and the alley looks dark and difficult to walk. Lin Fanghe carefully identified the path and walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow.

He rubbed his eyes, stopped suddenly, and suddenly felt his muscles tighten. Because Lin Fanghe found that at the other end of the alley, there was a tall figure standing with a strong torso, tightly blocking the way.

The moonlight reflected on him, dappled and flickering, making people feel particularly eerie.

Lin Fanghe breathed a sigh of relief and said indifferently: "What, second senior brother, it's you?"

The tall black shadow said, "You still recognize me as a senior brother?"

"Because I respect Master, I call you 'Senior Brother'. Lin Fanghe said again: "Tu Hu, you killed the master back then, betrayed the master, and everyone was punished." From now on, I will break with you!"

Tu Hu smiled gloomily: "Hmph, a pretentious person like you, Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of it?"

"Since you're here, it's not so easy to leave. ”

"Lin boy, don't be crazy. Tu Hu didn't care: "You have the true inheritance of the master, and the swordsmanship is high and the martial arts are good, so what? The master was above the top in the past, and he was self-righteous, so what, in the end, he didn't cut off my wrist ...... me."

"What a beast!"

"You're brutes, bastards. ”

Tu Hu was angry and scolded: "When I invested in the 'Divine Sword Gate', because I looked ugly, no one looked down on me. It's just that the master doesn't like it, he is the head of the real brand and has a good reputation all over the world. But you bastard brothers have come to bully me. Pour the pot and wash the toilet at night, eat leftovers, and get slapped when things don't go your way. I put up with it. I just want to practice with anger and learn to be a skill. But I couldn't stand the abuse anymore......"

"So you secretly escaped and took refuge in the sworn enemy of the 'Excalibur Gate'?"

"Didn't you force it?"

"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and you still haven't grown at all. Lin Fanghe looked at it with a sneer: "Don't reflect on yourself in everything, and only blame others when you encounter something?"

"I was bullied and humiliated by you and others, and fled with hatred, what is my fault?"

"It seems that Mr. Kuang Da, the 'West Poison', not only taught you the knife technique, but also taught you his biased, stubborn, and vicious intentions. ”

"I will not allow you to slander him. Tu Hu shouted angrily: "Although Mr. Kuang is harsh, he has a good advantage, and I will never forget it." It is to seriously pass on the real skills. Speaking of this, Tu Hu raised his eyebrows and laughed openly: "Only three years later, at the 'Divine Sword Gate' Martial Arts Competition, I appeared alone. With a set of wonderful knife techniques taught by 'West Poison', not only did he defeat the senior brother on the spot, but also made our self-esteemed master no longer able to serve tea with both hands. ”

Tu Hu looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"It's a great rebellion for you to cut off Master's hand. Lin Fanghe held the hilt of the sword and said angrily: "Then why did you kill them all, and then kill his old man?"

"Murder? I didn't. ”

"Dare to do but not dare to do, not a hero. ”

"I really didn't kill anyone. Tu Hu was puzzled and said: "I slashed my master, and I already got out of my chest, so why did I assassinate him? Besides, I knew that it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts in the future, so I fled to the outside ......of the Saiwai with the famous Jiangyang thief 'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' at that time."

Lin Fanghe couldn't help but be moved, and asked again and again: "Who would have done that? Who killed the teacher? I was in a hurry at the time, and I went to the capital, not at the 'Divine Sword Gate'." When I went back, I learned that late at night the day after you left, Master was stabbed to death in the secret room of the Sword Palace. Is it the knife in the back, through the chest, and the size and shape of the wound are very similar to the thin Burmese knife you usually use?"

"But I left on the day of the tournament and never went back. ”

"You think I'll still believe you?"

"Believe it or not. If I had the courage to do it, would I still have the guts to admit it!"

"Heaven is clear, good and evil are rewarded. Lin Fanghe sighed, struck into his palm, and said, "I believe that there will always be a day when the water will come out." ”

After that, he clenched the hilt of his sword and forced Tu Hu to look at him: "I heard that you recognize the thief as your father and made a spy for the Mongolian Tartars." After more than ten years, Your Excellency has returned to the Central Plains, what is your intention?

Tu Hu was triumphant, and said: "This time, he also made a big bet, he not only paid a lot of money to hire the 'Snowy Eagle' and the 'Double Dragon outside the Saiwai', but also dispatched the eight disciples of the blue-faced ghost king under the seat, led by Princess Ange, to secretly infiltrate Middle-earth, specializing in hunting and killing important ministers in the court, and he is determined to win! Lin Fanghe, you are dead." ”

"Who killed the deer, it is not yet known?"

"Stop bragging, you wait to die. Tu Hu pouted: "Tell you, the 'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' is nearby, he is good at disguise, changeable, even I can't find it? The two of us discussed it privately, so fat, how can we cheapen others? So the two of us came here in the starry night, as long as we keep an eye on the brains of those officials, kill one or two of them, and take the gold and silver with white flowers, yellow flowers, and bright gold, and silver, and enjoy the glory and wealth ......"

"Happiness and sorrow, don't be happy too early?"

Lin Fanghe said regretfully: "Tu Hu, haven't you heard anyone talk about it? The more you fight the abacus, the worse you lose, be careful to lose all your old capital." ”

Tu Hu moved his body, grabbed his chin with his hand, and was full of pride: "'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' is clever and ever-changing, he has already infiltrated the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, hidden, and said that he would start a lottery first." Looking like this, he must have returned triumphantly with one blow at this time?"

"We have already received a secret report from the border gate, and we know that there are foreign masters who are coming. Lin Fanghe was calm and said: "Therefore, the government is capable and fast, and the two guards of the Beijing army, Leopard Taowei and Tiger Benwei, who are the best at fighting, have already been arranged. I dare say that the 'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' must have broken its wings this time, and maybe it will become a ghost under the knife of my elite pawn?"

"You talk nonsense. ”

Lin Fanghe smiled faintly: "You started to mess up." Your faith has been shaken. That means you're not sure you're going to win, does it?"

Tu Hu flatly denied: "Our plan is thorough, and we will never go wrong......"

Lin Fanghe retorted: "There are accidents in everything, don't you believe it? Good people will be helped by heaven."

"Die. Tu Hu probed into his arms and shot out sharply, full of hidden weapons: "Don't worry about others first, think about yourself." Are you going to get out of here alive?"

Lin Fanghe dragged his sword out of the sheath: "Willing to give it a try." ”

Tu Hu drank violently, Huo Ran jumped up, kicked the wall on tiptoe, and his body flew diagonally. With the wave of his arms, several kinds of hidden weapons were shot out at the same time, and the gray was scattered, and the harsh wind struck at the same time!

The alley is already narrow, it is inconvenient to move, more than 100 kinds of hidden weapons are whistling up and down, and the way out has been blocked. Lin Fanghe has a sword in both hands, if he wants to fight his way out of the encirclement unscathed, there is little hope!

Can you only wait for death and let it be slaughtered?

No.

Never!

Hopefully, miracles will happen.

Lin Fanghe did not avoid or retreat in the face of the crisis, but chose to attack.

Advance is retreat, attack is defense.

Tu Hu never expected that the other party would counterattack at this moment. According to the general thinking, most people's reaction in the face of danger is nothing more than to resist, escape, retreat, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, who will take a positive way to attack?

It was because he was negligent in his precautions.

Lin Fanghe held the sword in both hands and slid forward, like a fish swimming fast.

The sword shines like snow.

A scream hit the ankle. Tu Hu swept a few feet, retreated at the entrance of the street, held on to the wall with his hand and kept gasping: "Okay, you kid, kill me, right?"

Lin Fanghe put away his sword and shook his head helplessly: "You go, for the sake of the same door, I will spare you again......"

Tu Hu's ankle was bleeding and his steps staggered: "You'd better kill me, or you'll regret it." Don't be complacent, boy Linβ€”although I am defeated by you, the 'Ghost with a Thousand Faces' may not lose, and there are many powerful opponents behind me, and we will arrive soon." You'll see, right?"

Lin Fanghe hugged his sword and didn't care: "Tu Hu, do you know, the difference between smart and stupid is only a little bit, that is, self-knowledge." Stupid people always overestimate themselves and look down on others, and the result...... Don't you know?"

Tu Hu was irritable and said, "Lin Fanghe, don't fight with you, we'll see you later." ”

Limped away.
