Chapter 22: Bloody Killing
Zhu Shitian has lived in Hengyang for a long time and no one has ever seen him use a sword, at this time he opened his robe and pulled out a soft sword from his waist, Mueller immediately took a step back and said: "It turns out that General Li is actually from the internal guard. β
During the period of Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was the empress dowager, but he was in the internal power to control the government, in order to control the courtiers, he secretly recruited his henchmen to act as eyes and ears, specializing in detectives and assassinations and other secret activities, the whereabouts of the courtiers must be investigated one by one, and those who are dissatisfied with Wu Zetian must secretly seek opportunities to assassinate in order to eliminate dissidents. In order to facilitate the assassination and secretly protect Wu Zetian, these people are equipped with special soft swords, and there are masters to teach swordsmanship. Although this group of people nominally belongs to Qianniuwei, in fact, they are not under the control of Qianniuwei, and even their names and surnames are not heard of by Qianniuwei, but directly under Wu Zetian, and the government and the opposition call them Neiwei, and because these people are easy to identify each other, they are tattooed with plum blossom marks on their arms, also known as "Meihua Neiwei". After Wu Zetian deposed Ruizong and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, these "plum blossom guards" were placed in various key yamen and various military guards, and Zhu Shitian was placed in Zuo Xiaowei as a loyal general at that time.
Zhu Shitian's wrist turned, the silver light appeared in the night, the soft sword snaked like a silver snake, and in an instant, Muller's blood splashed, this kind of hand-to-hand combat is the martial arts that the internal guard is best at, although Muller has qigong to protect the body, but he can only resist the fist, and he can't be invulnerable, and the long and big mace can't work, he simply threw away the mace to perform the ape night boxing method, and Zhu Shitian fights together. In a few moments, Muller was wounded in nearly 100 places, and his skin was opened.
The rich man of Hengyang City is not only a general of the imperial court, but also a plum blossom internal guard of the government and the opposition, and his martial arts are exquisite. Picked up the Zen staff and attacked Yan Fengjiao, forcing her back a few steps, and the nine stick monks surrounded her again. Venerable Yuan Hui took the opportunity to jump on the roof of the house and wanted to escape. Before he could take a step, there was a sound of breaking the air behind him, and he bent down slightly in a hurry, his right ear was in severe pain, and he reached out to touch it, only to find that his right ear had been cut off, and blood fell on the robe.
The black-clothed Daoist stood proudly with a dark long sword, and sneered: "It's ridiculous that you arrogant martial arts righteous paths! Leave your apprentices and let others slaughter them, do you want to run for your life?!"
Venerable Yuan Hui looked at it fixedly, and said, "Sure enough, it's you, Ghost Sword!" He knew that today's move was already endless, and he didn't say much, so he raised his Zen staff and swept through the thousands of troops, stopping him and beating him. Han Qinghua blocked it with his sword, and there was a loud sound of gold and iron, Han Qinghua's dark long sword did not move at all, and the Zen staff of the Venerable Master Yuanhui was extremely heavy, but it was so shocked that he was buzzing and trembling, and he almost wanted to get out of his hand.
Ghost Sword Han Qinghua sighed: "Yuanhui! You are really old, and your skills are less than fifty percent of what you were back then." Compared to Xu Dali, it is not as good. After speaking, the sword caught up.
After just a few moves, Master Yuanhui was already disheartened to death, this Han Qinghua was a famous swordsman twenty years ago, and now he is even better than in the past. Letting go of the long strike is the head of the Kongtong faction's swordsmanship, and the short bridge is close to Han Qinghua, but he has the Netherworld Blood Skill and the Ape Night Punching Method. Yuan Hui struggled to support the eighth move. Seeing Han Qinghua's long sword stabbing in the chest, he was no longer powerless to resist, and closed his eyes with a long sigh and waited for death.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing, and the long sword stabbed horizontally, but it was a black-clothed masked man who blocked Han Qinghua's sword with a sword. Han Qinghua suddenly suffered an accident, and immediately jumped out of the circle with several swords. But when I saw that the man in black was high and bulging in the north, he was hunchbacked.
The Venerable Master Yuanhui was desperate to survive, and immediately fled like a fly, and the black-clothed hunchbacked hoarse voice shouted: "You monk talks all day long to see through the red dust, but at this time, you are afraid of the enemy like a ghost, cowardly as a mouse, you and I may not be able to defeat the ghost sword together." β
But Yuanhui had already been frightened, and he had no courage to fight again, and he didn't even want a Zen staff, so he turned a deaf ear and continued to run, his body was fat, but at this time he was extremely fast. In a moment, he swept away on the rooftop.
Han Qinghua pinched a sword trick, pounced on him, the hunchbacked man swung his sword to meet him, when there was a soft sound, the two were already in a different position, Han Qinghua said coldly: "In order to hide your identity, you also used the five swordsmanship of the Shaolin faction, but the internal force is from the Kongtong faction, and anyone can learn the swordsmanship, but the internal force has to be taught by the master at the door, you are a member of the Kongtong faction, but the Kongtong faction does not have such a hunchback person." Who the hell are you?" the hunchbacked man said in a hoarse voice, "You have been away from Kongtong Mountain for twenty years, hasn't the Kongtong Sect accepted new disciples?"
Han Qinghua said: "How can the strength of the past few decades be done by a new disciple? You can't deceive people." β
The hunchbacked man stopped answering, but stabbed with his sword. This time, it is the authentic Kongtong swordsmanship, and the two of them are familiar with the Kongtong swordsmanship, and the sword moves are extremely fast. On the roof, I saw two phantoms flickering together, but it was difficult to tell who was who.
On the ground, Yan Fengjiao was afraid of Yuanhui's sneak attack just now, so he didn't dare to do his best to deal with the demon subduing array, and now Yuanhui abandoned his disciples and fled, and immediately made up his mind, the nine stick monks were originally second- and third-rate skills, and they all fought in the formation to resist the enemy, but the number of people was not enough, and there were inevitably omissions, and the master fled, all of them had no intention of fighting. After a stick of incense, he was killed by Yan Fengjiao.
Na Mueller had already picked up the mace, and defended as an attack, this soft sword swordsmanship was suitable for surprise attacks and assassinations, but he was not good at frontal attacks, and Zhu Shitian had been forced into a corner. That Xu Qianfan took the disciple into the inner room, and when he turned around, Xu Qianfan was gone, and at this time, the four disciples of the Kongtong faction saw that the situation was critical, and they immediately broke out of the door regardless of the master's absence, and besieged Mueller with a sword. Mullerao is invincible, and he is also forced to be in a hurry.
There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street, and it turned out that the fighting in Zhu's mansion had alarmed the surrounding neighbors, and someone had already rushed to stab Shi Yamen to warn them. said that there were bandits robbing Zhu's mansion, and Assassin Shi hurriedly ordered soldiers and horses to quell the chaos.
Yan Fengjiao shouted: "The wind is tight."
Eight servants immediately led their horses from the shadows, and MΓΌller and the servants jumped on their horses and galloped away. The servant immediately replaced the eight-shot crossbow of the iron ridge with a rocket, turned around and shot it, the rocket was loaded with fire oil and flammable materials, and the Zhu Mansion immediately smoked everywhere, and Yan Fengjiao jumped on the roof to brush the sword and stabbed at the hunchback man, and the tip of the sword slashed on the hunchback man's hunchback during the dodge, and immediately the clothes were torn apart, but there was not flesh and blood in it but clothes stacked together, this hunchback man was actually pretending, that Yan Fengjiao didn't have time to think about it and Han Qinghua to perform light skills like flying away.
The hunchbacked man didn't chase after him, but shouted at Qing Gao, Qing Yuan and the others who were still stunned in the courtyard: "Don't you go quickly, when the soldiers and horses come, are you waiting to be beheaded as a bandit?"
The four disciples of the Kongtong faction, Qinggao, Qingyuan, Qingbai and Qingli, woke up on the spot, jumped onto the roof together with Zhu Shitian, and fled while the chaos was in chaos.
Zhu Shitian ran for several miles, looking back at his hometown, it was already a sea of smoke and fire. The hunchbacked man was nowhere to be seen, and there were only four people around him. He sighed dumbly and said, "I didn't expect to affect everyone this time, you guys...... You go now, Zhu Shitian will repay the grace of saving his life in this life. Let's take a deep seat.
Qing Gao hurriedly helped Zhu Shitian up and said: "Mr. Zhu has suffered a great disaster, and the master is not here, why don't you go back to Kongtong Mountain with us......" Before the words fell, four short arrows were shot from Zhu Shitian's neckline, and they were nailed into Qing Gao's heart, Qing Gao was caught off guard, staggered a few steps and pointed at Zhu Shitian and said: "You ...... Why ......", fell to the ground, and died of exhaustion.
Qingyuan, Qingqing, and Qingli were furious and pulled out their long swords and stabbed them, and Zhu Shitian sneered and danced with soft swords, the martial arts of the three of them were far inferior to Zhu Shitian, and they were exhausted from the fierce battle just now. How can it be an opponent, after more than a dozen rounds, they were all knocked to the ground by Zhu Shitian's acupoint. Qingli shouted: "We are desperate to save you, why did you poison us!"
Zhu Shitian said: "It's a matter of royal secrets, I have to kill you, after you die, I will burn more paper money for you, don't worry!"
raised his sword and was about to stab it, when he suddenly heard someone behind him sneer: "You better keep the paper money for yourself." β
The one who came was Xu Qianfan. Zhu Shitian knew that his martial arts were far from Xu Qianfan. Don't wait to turn around at the moment, and immediately run away. Xu Qianfan didn't chase after him, and stretched out his hand to unlock the disciple's acupoint. The three of them suddenly saw the master, mixed with joy and sorrow, Qingli hugged the master and cried bitterly: "Master, Zhu Shitian killed the senior brother!"
Xu Qianfan said miserably: "Master is late, Master will avenge Qinggao, it's just that now is not the time." After a while, a burst of yellow smoke came out, and Qinggao's body turned into ashes.
After the bones were burned, Xu Qianfan carefully packed the ashes into a cloth bag and put them in the rucksack. He whispered, "Let's go." Lin Qingli saw a sword mark on Master's clothes, and exclaimed, "Master, are you the hunchbacked man?!Master, are you injured?"
Xu Qianfan smiled bitterly: "After all, the teacher and the ghost sword have been learning swords from the same school for twenty years, and I can't bear to meet him face to face, but I can't help but stop him from killing innocents indiscriminately, so I have to disguise, alas, fortunately, the sword of the white snake only stabbed the burden tied to the back, but it never hurt the flesh and skin." Innocent and hateful: "If it weren't for the sneak attack from behind the demon woman, the master would definitely not be stabbed." Xu Qianfan shook his head and said, "This ghost sword really deserves its reputation. At this time, the attainments are even better than back then. Even if there is no White Snake, before those two hundred moves, the ghost sword and I can't help each other, but after two hundred moves, I'm afraid the ghost sword will gradually gain the upper hand. Don't mention it, let's go. β
Let's say that Li Jiu and Zilan came to the Central Plains from the Tianshan Mountains, the western part of the Tianshan Mountains is a bitter cold place, with snow all year round, people wear heavy fur and cotton jackets every day, and now the Central Plains is the fireworks in March, the two of them put on Luo Yi light robes, the warm breeze is slowly blowing, indescribably relaxed and comfortable, where is the Western Regions can compare with the world of flowers and flowers in the Middle Earth?
