Hua Bushi said: "Miss Lan'er, can you bear to let the foundation of Okura City be destroyed like this, and the people of the whole city will be killed by the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace'?

Sima Rulan's face sank like water, biting her lips tightly but not speaking.

Yao Yuanxiao said: "If that kid surnamed Cao is allowed to go to the Guangdong Realm, he will definitely escape as soon as he is born, where will he go to the fleet of the Water Diverter to come to the rescue of Okura Island?

Hua Bushi stretched out his hand and slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly: "As long as the eldest lady of the city lord promises to spare Cao Gongzi's life and let him go to the Guangdong border to move troops, I am willing to use my life to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to escape! If he really escapes, you just have to ask, and kill Hua Bushi with one sword!"

Sima Rulanmei glared at the eldest young master, and finally spoke: "Mr. Hua has a few lives, just vouch for others like this? You are not the murderer of my father, if Cao Duyun escapes, what is the use of me killing you!"

She turned her gaze to Yao Yuanxiao and asked, "Where is Cao Duyun now?"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "It is locked in the prison behind the city lord's mansion." ”

Sima Rulan stood up and said, "I'm going to see him in the cell, Mr. Hua, you can go with me too!"

The prison of the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ City Lord's Mansion is in the back garden, and it is a stone house that is not too high.

More than half of the cell was below ground level, and the door was accessed by a stone staircase. In front of and behind the house and up and down the stone steps, there were many disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" guarding them, and there were also many archers stationed around them to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

Cao Duyun was locked in the innermost cell, his wrists and ankles were shackled by fine iron, weighing 100 catties, even if he was a person with high martial arts, he would never be able to break it.

He was now standing in the middle of the cell with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the window at the top of the wall, which was covered with iron bars the thickness of his arm's arms, but through which he could see the twinkling stars in the night sky.

He had been imprisoned in this cell for five days, and Cao Duyun had been waiting for Sima Rulan to kill him at every hour of every day, but he had never waited. In this place, he had no way of hearing the news of the siege of the island by the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" outside.

Finally, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the stone steps outside.

Are you here?" Cao Duyun thought to herself.

From the sound of footsteps, he could tell that it was not the ordinary disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" who were patrolling and guarding the steps, but as many as four people. Three of them are not weak in light skills, and only Sima Rulan and the elders of the "Wanjin Hall" can have such martial arts in the City Lord's Mansion, while the rest of them have heavy steps, but they seem to be completely incapable of light skills.

The disciples of the "Wanjin Hall" who were guarding outside the door of the stone house greeted them, and then the iron gate was called, and the four people walked into the prison until they walked outside the door of the cell where Cao Duyun was before they took their steps.

Cao Duyun still looked up at the window, with his back to the iron prison door and did not turn around. From the greetings of the guards before, he already knew that the person who came was Sima Rulan, the eldest lady of the city lord, and he also concluded that she had come to kill him. For a person who is about to be killed, it doesn't make sense to turn around.

"You don't seem to be afraid of death?" came from across the iron fence was Sima Rulan's voice.

Cao Duyun said: "Except for crazy people, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death. ”

Sima Rulan said: "Then why don't you say anything and beg me to spare your life?"

Cao Duyun smiled indifferently and said, "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, even if I beg you, you will not forgive." It was indeed my fault to assassinate Ling Zun that day, and now ** here, Cao Duyun has no complaints. ”

Sima Rulan said: "Yes, I will not forgive you, but I will not be like you, I will only attack and kill people from behind! Turn around, I will compete with you in swordsmanship, so that you will be convinced!"

Cao Duyun turned around slowly, and saw Sima Rulan, dressed in snow-white plain clothes, standing outside the iron fence, and behind her were indeed Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao, the elders of the "Wanjin Hall". And the person who came with them, the person who didn't know how to do light work was Hua Bushi, but it was slightly unexpected by Cao Duyun.

Sima Rulan said: "The people of our Sima family, their behavior has always been above board, today's sword fight, you and I fight with our lives, if you are defeated, I will kill you with a sword, if you can win, you can also kill me with a sword!"

Yao Yuanxiao said: "Miss, this guy's swordsmanship is very high, and now he has been caught, why do you bother to fight with him, it's better to kill him with one sword." ”

Sima Rulan shook her head and instructed the guarding disciples next to her, "Remove the torture tools on his body and give him a sword!"

The iron gate was opened, the shackles on Cao Duyun's hands and feet were also opened, and a green steel sword was handed to him. Cao Duyun took the long sword, there was a slight confusion in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Hua Bushi outside the iron fence, but the eldest young master was expressionless at the moment, did not say a word, and did not make any statement.

Sima Rulan stepped into the cell, only to hear a clear sound of "choking", she had already drawn her sword, held the finger of the sword in her left hand, and showed the frame.

Although he didn't know why the other party didn't kill directly to take revenge, but he wanted to fight with a sword to win, but in such a situation, Cao Duyun had no other choice, so he had to cross his chest with a long sword and make a starting move.

The two sides only confronted each other for a moment, Sima Rulan stepped forward with his sword, and stabbed three swords straight at the opponent's chest, Cao Duyun raised his sword to block, sparks splashed in the crisp sound, and the two were already fighting in one place!

Sima Rulan's martial arts came from his father's teaching, although the "Shaolin School" is not good at swordsmanship, but Shaolin martial arts is the ancestor of foreign kung fu in the world, all-encompassing, of course, swordsmanship is indispensable. In fact, there are many swordsmanship in the "Shaolin Seventy-two Stunts", and the "Powerful Demon Subduing Sword Technique" practiced by Yang Jiangyi is one of them, but Sima Rulan is now using another "Wutang Sword Technique".

The "Wutang Sword Technique" is not as strong and powerful as the "Mighty Demon Sword", but it is also an authentic Zen master, and it is the nemesis of all partial martial arts.

In contrast, Cao Duyun's "Vientiane Silk Sword" is the Taoist martial art of the "Dinghu School", and it is also a superior mastery. Although the sword he was holding in his hand was just an ordinary green steel sword, the sword technique was used, and the blade seemed to be able to bend and coil at will!

Cao Duyun's original sword had been lost in the ocean during the storm that day, otherwise if he used the special "Silk Winding Sword" to use this sword technique, it would definitely be even more powerful.

This cell is not big, and the two of them are fighting and dismantling in it, but they don't seem to be limited by space, just because they are not weak in light skills, and their swordsmanship has reached the state of running as expected, and the martial arts they use are just like the personalities and personalities of the two of them.

Sima Rulan has not experienced the world, does not understand the world's tricks, but has a benevolent and righteous heart, her swordsmanship is simple and unpretentious, and dignified, without losing the dignity of the authentic Zen sect, in the peace of the hidden edge, clumsy and pressing. Although Cao Duyun is not very old, he has already enjoyed the glory and wealth, and he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he has experienced officialdom and insight into the world, and the swordsmanship in his hands is also extremely gorgeous, and there are many strange changes, which are difficult to guard.

In the blink of an eye, thirty moves have passed, and the two of them are fighting faster and faster. Sima Rulan was injured by the "Beast King" when she was fighting with Xiong Bailing a few days ago, and Cao Duyun's injury of "cutting the pulse and pulling out the poison" was not completely healed, but seeing the swiftness and vigor of the two when they were fighting, it was impossible to see that they were injured people.

Both of them were dressed in white, but they saw many white shadows flying and jumping in the cell, mixed with the little sparks that burst out when the steel swords clashed, it was difficult to see which white shadow was Sima Rulan and which one was Cao Duyun, let alone distinguish the moves when they fought!

Yao Yuanxiao and Chai Lin were staring at the fight in the room with wide eyes, their expressions were extremely nervous, Yao Yuanxiao even put the iron rod on his chest, only afraid that the city lord and the eldest lady would be in danger, so he would come forward to rescue. It's just that the two people in the cell fight so fast, and there is an iron fence between them, if the winner is really decided, the people outside the door are afraid that it will be difficult to help in time.

Among the people in the prison, only Hua Bushi had a calm and calm face, although he also watched the fight in the cell, he didn't seem to be worried about the safety of the two.

At this time, the battle finally divided the winner and loser, only to hear the sound of the flash, half of the steel sword flew out of the air, "grabbed" the ground nailed to the stone wall, straight into half a foot!

And the white shadow flying in the cell suddenly froze, Cao Duyun leaned against the wall, the steel sword in his hand was only a foot long, Sima Rulan stood in front of him, her right arm stretched out, and the tip of the long sword in her hand had reached Cao Duyun's chest!

Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao, who were outside the cell, breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and the iron cane that Yao Yuanxiao held on his chest hung down.

Cao Duyun said: "You have won, kill me." ”

After some fighting, his voice was exactly the same as before, without the slightest change.

Sima Rulan's chest rose and fell, she had a little gasp, the steel sword in her hand was frozen in the air and did not move, and said: "I didn't win, you had the opportunity to stab me just now, but you deliberately slowed down half a step before I used my fingers to snap the blade of the sword." ”

She glared at Cao Duyun and said, "Why do you want me!"

Cao Duyun was silent, and after a long while, he said: "This kind of sword fighting is meaningless, I am a mortal person, what difference does it make if I let it or not?"

This is the prison of "Wanjintang", there are heavy guards inside and outside the stone house, and there are two masters of Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao outside the iron fence, even if Cao Duyun defeats Sima Rulan, and even kills her with a sword, it is impossible to escape. Under such circumstances, Cao Duyun knew that he would die, so he didn't want to do any more useless struggles.
