379 Revenge
Seeing that the man was an expert in the way as soon as he made a move, the leader of the guards had a chill in his eyes, raised his right arm, clenched his fists with five fingers, and more than a dozen guards immediately gathered around.
Young Lu's hand frightened him, and his wish to capture him alive was not easy to achieve, so he had to retreat and kill him, and he could not escape in any way.
"The sword soldier is in front, and the spearman is behind, and the person who cuts this person will be rewarded with silver, and the one who cuts his head will be added to the officer. on!"
As soon as the leader's voice fell, the guards quickly lined up and marched towards the covered bridge in an orderly manner.
Su Mu knew very well that the order meant that these guards would attack him regardless of a single qiē, the terrain here was narrow, and many tricks could not be used, but it was precisely because of this that as long as the three people behind could withstand it, he only needed to defend one side with all his might.
Faced with the adjustment of the formation of the guards, due to the limitation of space, Su Mu could not toss and turn to find the flaws of the other party, so he could only stay still and wait for the moment of the handover.
In an instant, Su Mu simulated several contact situations in his mind, as well as ways to defuse the opponent's attack, which was an instinctive reaction accumulated from years of combat experience, and helped him seize the opportunity many times and turn the danger into a disaster, he was used to this instinct, and relied on it deeply.
But just when the guards were two meters away from him and took a step forward to enter the state of engagement, Su Mu suddenly frowned, he saw several guards in the front row suddenly raise their hands high, and the guards in the back row handed over the spears in their hands, and at the same time exchanged the steel knives in their hands, their movements were so fast that they only took one breath, and the well-trained guards in the front row took the spear and jumped up with their right feet, holding the spear high and stabbing at Su Mu condescendingly.
Su Mu hadn't seen any scenes, but he really hadn't seen this scene. I didn't think about it at the moment. Take a step back. One foot on the pillars. The spear stabbed into the air.
Instead, he was condescending, and the short knife swung out of his bosom, slicing the necks of four guards.
When he landed, he felt a pain in his left arm, and when he looked down, he found that his lower arm had been stabbed, but fortunately it was not as deep as the bone, and it was just bleeding.
The situation was tense, and he didn't have time for even the simplest bandage. Let the wound bleed drop by drop.
"There's something new, and I don't like it. ”
Su Mu sneered. He was injured in just one confrontation, which was a rare occurrence in the past, and he naturally would not attribute this to the effect of the other party's temporary change, but firmly believed that it was due to the narrowness of the place, otherwise he could deal with it like this and not be injured at all.
He would never admit that the way the other party fought could fundamentally affect him, he had always been so blindly confident.
The guards in the back row continued to attack with a grim face and stepped on the corpse of their companion.
Before they arrived, Su Mu greeted them again.
If you count them carefully, he has more than a dozen ways to deal with sword soldiers. But there's always only one way he prefers.
He studied all kinds of long and short knives, and spent sleepless nights watching the best blacksmiths in the city forge steel knives. As long as it is a knife, it is a thick back and a thin blade, which is an advantage of a thousand-year inheritance, but it hides a shortcoming that is not easy to find, so that the knife, whether it is cutting or splitting or stabbing or picking, although the force is different, but the method of restraint is the same, that is the tip of the knife, as long as it is lightly patted on the tip of the knife, it is enough to remove most of the opponent's strength.
This method has been tried and tested many times in the hands of Gu Xiaoshu, and after so many years of fighting, killing and killing, it seems that only he knows this trick, which makes him even more happy.
The essence of all his tricks is only one word, fast.
His speed is pleasing to the eye, and he can be used as a model for military attache teaching, he attacks quickly, defends quickly, and moves his body quickly, all of which make him seem to swing four knives with ease, just hitting the tip of the opponent's knife.
The strength of the sword guard's hand disappeared, and they couldn't help but be shocked, but it was too late to regain their strength, and they fell to the ground and died.
"How can it be so fast?"
The Seventh Princess exclaimed incredulously.
Vice General Guan's face turned slightly pale, his eyes flickered and stared at the young man, and said: "Fast and accurate, the knife technique is clean and neat, there is no order, it is really not easy to practice a knife to this kind of course." ”
"I don't care who he is, don't be scrupulous, come forward and take him down in one fell swoop, and I will go back and tell my father that you will be rewarded. ”
Vice General Guan said without hesitation: "Princess, this person's intention is unknown, his subordinates dare not leave half a step without permission, for the sake of the princess's safety, we should leave as soon as possible and leave this matter to Lord Zhong." ”
The seventh princess walked around dissatisfied, with two big pigtails on her head dangling around, pointing to Deputy General Guan and a few people: "You are really useless, aren't you just a thief, you don't dare to go up, I'll go up." ”
"Princess!" Vice General Guan dodged in front of her, and said sternly: "The purpose of this person's coming here is probably His Highness, you must not act recklessly." ”
The Seventh Princess looked at him amusedly, pointed to the surrounding situation, and said, "I don't arrest him, but he comes to arrest me?" You can see clearly, they are surrounded by a rabble, and it is a matter of time before they are destroyed. My father always said that I love to cause trouble, and today I will let him see how I have made meritorious contributions!"
"Princess, Your Majesty has granted the last general the right to be in danger, and the last general should obey the emperor's orders and never let the princess get close to this person. ”
Vice General Guan held down the hilt of the knife with one hand and lay across in front of the Seventh Princess like a mountain.
"Guan Xinglong! you ...... Be bold! Get out of the way!"
Vice General Guan said without changing his face: "You can kill the last general." ”
Zhong Liangfu and his courtiers also admonished the seventh princess to be calm and not impatient, and the guards would definitely take down the thief.
Vice General Guan said to Zhong Liangfu: "Lord Zhong, the matter is big, let people kill a passage quickly, so that the princess and the ministers can take refuge for the time being." ”
This immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the seventh princess, and there were only a few thieves, and she didn't understand why he was so nervous.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to see this group of thieves die here. ”
Guan Xinglong sighed secretly when he heard it, so he had to let her.
Maybe the target of this master is not the princess, otherwise the close proximity of the two of them is the best opportunity. If he had been wise, he would not have dared to touch the princess.
Thinking like this, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
He turned his gaze to the elder with the face on his face, and the worry in his heart grew a little more, only to see them talking. A dozen more guards were put down. The guards who confronted him head-on. There are less than ten left.
Peacefully, he never left the bridge.
At this time, the bridge was already full of guards wailing that they could no longer fight, and they had to bear the trampling of their companions back and forth on their bodies. Looking at this situation, even if Gu Xiaoshu didn't kill them, he would be trampled to death by his own people.
The leader of the guards watched his brothers fall one by one, cold sweat flowed down his face, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his resolute face, he knew it very well. This line of defense must not be broken, because behind him is the Seventh Princess, the prime minister of the former dynasty, important ministers of the court, and wealthy businessmen from various countries.
"Quadrangle, some more!"
He shouted without looking back.
No one responded.
His heart lifted suddenly, and he put the Buddha stuck in his throat. I feel like I'm having trouble breathing.
When he looked back, there were only more than 20 people left in the quadrangle team that originally guarded the Seventh Princess and the more than 100 ministers. It was obvious that he was pinned down by the enemies around him, and he gasped, those men in black were so tricky!
However, with a cup of tea, the situation changed incredibly, and a few hundred guards could not reach more than a hundred men in black, and those who were killed retreated one after another.
The picture on the covered bridge is even clearer, and there are no guards in front of Gu Xiaoshu who can stand up.
Su Mu's breathing was a little heavy, and he glanced at him with a sneer.
Turned around and went over to help the three brothers of Jiang Long. The three of them faced as many guards as Su Mu, but they hadn't finished killing until now, and the Tongtian Leopard was also seriously injured, hiding behind the two big brothers and gritting his teeth.
Su Mu's arrival made them feel more relaxed, he was like a lion rushing into the herd, and the indomitable momentum alone forced several guards to subconsciously take a few steps back.
They worked together to defeat the guards, and when they leaned together, Su Mu was already covered in blood, but most of them belonged to others.
There are more than ten wounds on the body, large and small, except for some stinging, the small wounds do not bleed, only the big wound on the waist keeps flowing, slowly seeping into the lotus ancient lamp along the placket.
It is very strange that his body is covered with the blood of the guards, and his waist is naturally dyed a lot, but the ancient lamp is extremely accurate, and only absorbs Su Mu's blood.
Of course, he didn't notice this, so he slashed the knife at the pillar, panting and said: "I haven't been active for a year, the knife has sunk, and I'm tired to death." Or I still like assassination, I don't like to be so brutal, and the technical content is too little. ”
A large part of the reason why the three of them invited Su Mu to come was for the situation just now, as long as the four of them insisted on the brothers outside to kill and merge together, his value would be fully reflected.
Zhong Liangfu tried to find an opportunity to let the guards take them out several times, but he never succeeded. A face turned white with fright.
Everyone is even more colorless, they are all characters on the Weifu side and the rich side, and their power and wealth are far from being squandered enough, who would be willing to die here?
The seventh princess was also a little discolored, but she was not alarmed. The four guards around him were even more calm, standing still like four rocks.
Dozens of black-clothed people gradually gathered around, and even a few of them carried a human head in their hands, looking at everyone with red eyes, as if they were looking at meat on a chopping board.
With a plop, a businessman couldn't stand the stimulation and was stunned.
"The man stands on the left, the woman stands on the right, and the master robs the color first. ”
Su Mu had a shameless smile on his face, rubbed the two long hairs on his face, and walked over step by step.
These words were obviously aimed at the Seventh Princess, because she was the only woman in the pavilion.
The seventh princess squinted at him, hating to kill him with her eyes.
Turning Jianglong embarrassedly persuaded: "Brother Gu, you press the fire first, and I'll find you a few tender ones when you go back, now is not the time to do that." ”
Su Mu glanced at him with disgust and said, "I know, it's just to scare that stupid princess." ”
"Bastard, Hongu is standing here, you can touch me and try it. ”
The seventh princess raised her chin proudly.
Su Mu deliberately didn't look at the beautiful face of the Seventh Princess, shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, the sad thing is not that there are no women here, but that there are women who are not interested." ”
"No vision, hillbilly. ”
The seventh princess's big eyes rolled, and she was slighted by Su Mu repeatedly, secretly sulking.
Su Mu talked to Zhuan Jianglong, they packed up the gold and silver treasures, and he went straight to Zhong Liangfu. Road:
"You don't have to say anything. Listen to me. I'm not here to rob you of your money. There's a maid in your house named Little Tears, and that's my best friend. ”
"I have been that friend since I was a child, she is gentle and considerate, she is my first choice to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, just last month, we were still lying on the grass looking at the stars, and only a few days before they were gone. ”
"I wanted to torture you for three days and three nights, and make you miserable. I don't want to be a man in my next life, but I have principles, either don't kill, or give a good time, and you're lucky. ”
After speaking, he waved his arm, and the steel knife slashed deeply along Zhong Liangfu's neck.
Zhong Liangfu wanted to ask who the little tear man was, but there was no chance, and it didn't matter.
"It's for the sake of revenge, it's sad, isn't it? How can you not be sad, look at you like a pig doesn't eat a dog and doesn't gnaw. Which girl can take a fancy to you? That little tear man must have bad eyes, it's a pity, there are too few girls with bad eyes in this world, and you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life. ”
The Seventh Princess sneered, and compared to Zhong Liangfu's death, she cared more about whether these words could hit Gu Xiaoshu.
To her surprise, the young man who had been retaliating with a tooth for a tooth before was silent, turned his face to look at her silently, with tears in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are a princess, high above, you don't understand anything." If you die, will anyone avenge you like I did?"
The Seventh Princess wanted to talk back, but she didn't speak. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the young man's eyes were deep and unlikely, and he penetrated her body directly, looking directly at her heart, she looked at the back of the young man, and asked herself, is there really nothing?
Su Mu came to the rich merchant who bid for the recommendation letter of Tianyi Pavilion, looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said faintly: "Do you have eyes?
He nodded slowly, and he actually said such a literary thing on the spot, and he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with the results of his year-long reading.
The rich merchant breathed heavily and sweated like rain, and he didn't understand what he was going to do.
"Do you want to go to Tianyi Pavilion to cultivate?" he asked suddenly, his tone was very calm, like asking for directions on the street.
The rich merchant folded his hands on his fat belly, and said in a panic but respectfully, "I don't want to." ”
"Then what do you need a letter of recommendation?"
"I bought it for my son. ”
Su Mu shook his head and said, "It's good to have a rich father." How many sons do you have?"
"One. ”
"How old are you?"
"Twelve. ”
Su Mu had an expression of concern for you, and said sincerely: "You are faced with a choice, a choice that is related to the life and death of a young man. ”
The rich businessman didn't say a word and took out a letter of recommendation: "Here you go." ”
Su Mu put it away with satisfaction.
"Let them be moderate, make such a big move, there will be people from the government at any time, accept it when they see it, and withdraw quickly." ”
Su Mu said to the dragon of the river.
The seventh princess said to Guan Xinglong, "Just let them go?"
"As long as it doesn't endanger the princess, I don't think we need to do it. ”
"I'd rather keep him. ”
She stabbed Su Mu behind her violently.
Su Mu instinctively stabbed back. Guan Xinglong was afraid that the princess would lose, so he hurriedly came to the rescue and fought with Su Mu.
The other three guards, two to protect the princess, and one to help.
As soon as the blades of the two touched, they felt a force coming, and they couldn't help but press forward at the same time, and their shoulders collided together.
Guan Xinglong said in a low voice: "If you are smart, you will know that the princess can't be touched, and I don't want to have more rights and wrongs." ”
"Very well, take care of your master. ”
Both of them closed the knife at the same time.
Su Mu divided some ready-made silver and silver tickets, and walked back to Yunni Bookstore a few streets in his arms.
He didn't share many silver tickets, originally thought that all the people present were rich, and it was an auction occasion, and there must be a lot of silver with him, but he didn't expect that the auction was not with silver tickets, but signed tickets, and went to the designated silver village to get them. They didn't dare to make a fool of it.
"It's home. ”
He is a person who is not good at planning for the future, and the reason why he has stayed in Yunni Bookstore honestly for a year is to make up for the emptiness, hoping to increase some connotation by opening a bookstore, and second, to be able to meet with the little tears often.
Now that the little tear man is gone, the best person in Xinyang City has also wiped his neck, so he can't stay here.
When the water boiled, he poured a cup of tea. Take a big gulp. But not a drop fell into his mouth. I looked down and saw that the tea had frozen into ice.
When the teacup fell, he jumped up and sat down on the table in fright, and in a short moment a cup of steaming tea turned into an ice cube.
He poured another glass, still an ice cube.
Another glass, still ice.
He was not afraid, but played with interest, and then fell into deep thought. He just returned from outside, and the equipment on his body is commonly used, there is nothing peculiar, only something that does not belong to him, the lotus ancient lamp.
The lamp has an ordinary appearance, a mysterious material, and a good touch in the hand, but it is not a precious object no matter how you look at it.
He poured the tea and watched carefully as the ancient lamp changed, and the tea froze again.
There is nothing unusual about the ancient lamp.
The ice gradually melted. It became a puddle of water with tea stains, and there was no reaction.
He seriously recalled the first experience he had in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Thinking about the origin of this lamp, judging from the strange phenomenon just now, even if this thing is not a magic weapon of the immortal family, it is a rare object anyway, Zhong Liangfu did not mention this, is he not aware or intentional? It seems that the former is more likely......
In any case, this is also a strange thing, and you must ask a knowledgeable warlock in the future.
He put the ancient lamp in the inner room, took care of the wound, and went back to sleep.
In the past few days, the imperial court has come to check every day in the bookstore, becoming more and more careful, and even sent a few guards to guard it day and night.
He waited for a few days, but before he could send the silver ticket, he scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, and planned to leave first.
But when I thought of the large sum of silver, I felt a faint pain in my heart.
Greeting acquaintances one by one is a farewell to this life in the past year.
The brothel also has a few acquaintances who often come to the bookstore to chat, and it doesn't seem good to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
Wherever he goes, he has a good popularity, and there must be a beginning and an end. In fact, I don't have any friendship with them, I just look down and don't look up, and my face is familiar.
The matter of the ancient lamp hung like a lump of ice in his mind, making him look preoccupied. I don't have a good time eating with everyone, and I am in a daze from time to time.
A fair-looking prostitute filled his wine glass and said with a smile: "Su Mu, you still have to leave after all, remember what I said when you first came last year?"
Su Mu knew that she was interested in herself, and she also had a good impression of her, and she belonged to the kind that could be further developed, but it was a pity that she was a prostitute.
"I don't remember. ”
The prostitute smiled bitterly and said reluctantly: "I said that you are not a thing in the pool at first glance, and you will not stay in Yunni Bookstore for too long." ”
"How can I forget the words of such a discerning hero? But even if you are talking nonsense, this sound is really pleasant, although I don't have any ambitions, I really am not a thing in the pool, haha. ”
After a while, he said, "I will come to see you when I have a chance in the future." ”
The prostitute smiled and said, "You haven't patronized Lichunyuan because of these bookstore owners in the bookstore, I know you don't look down on me, and I know that you won't come back." ”
Su Mu was silent.
Seeing that he didn't even have perfunctory interest, the prostitute said sadly: "Su Mu, I want to ask you a word, if I were a woman from a good family, would you like me?"
"I never make that assumption. ”
He was objective in what he said, and he did not mean to discriminate against her, purely because he did not want to make such an impossible assumption. The prostitute heard something else and lamented, "Don't you even want to lie?"
The prostitute is gone.
Su Mu and his friends talked about it until midnight and returned to the bookstore drunk.
Tossing and turning and unable to sleep at night, I sat up, opened my slightly sour eyes and was stunned, poured a cup of tea in a daze, and sat on the bed while drinking and muttering childhood nursery rhymes.
After singing, he clutched the teacup tightly, his face expressionless, as calm as the night.
Ordinary people have relatives, friends, living in the world in order to honor their parents, in order to let their friends look high, and strive to get ahead, although he has no relatives, there is only one close friend, can not honor his parents, and I don't know which friend to look up, but he is the same as ordinary people's self-motivation, he thinks he is very good, in a huge organization like playing with fire, he has been promoted to a gold medal killer in just a few years, he cares about this title very much, which represents all his efforts. The organization cautiously told him that as long as he worked for another twenty years, he would become one of the giants in the organization, and he would have endless wealth and beauty in the second half of his life.
He refused, just because the little tear man said that she wanted to live a peaceful life with him, which could be a male farmer and a female weaver, or a male businessman and a female assistant. Gu Xiaoshu was used to holding knives and couldn't look down on hoes, so he chose to do business. As for the struggle he experienced after leaving the organization, he never said a word to Little Tears.
Now it's over.
The end of one life means the beginning of another life, pinching the letter of recommendation in his hand, he has already made a decision without worry.
Just like the saying that has been circulated among the people of the Great World, everyone knows where the Heavenly Pavilion is, and everyone doesn't know where the Heavenly Pavilion is. (To be continued......)
