April 22, morning. Muyun Mountain connects the wilderness from northeast to north. The two riders walked slowly towards the horse post. The first rider is Lan Sha, the commander of the Sixth Swords Department on the seventh floor. He is a middle-aged man who looks quite messy. He doesn't like to trim his appearance. He has a shaggy beard and disheveled hair. He is dressed in yellow and has a long sword at his waist. , his left hand was wrapped in gauze, and three blood marks could be faintly seen.
Three fingers on his left hand were broken, but it did not affect his mission. He used the "Hunyuan Sword Technique" of the Emei Hunyuan Sword School.
Obviously, the punishment of having three fingers broken is not too severe for him! After all, the young master died. Fortunately, Da Siming acted fairly and saved his life.
As for the other rider, it was Ziyi, the seventh commander of the seventh floor. The seventh division is the sword division. Ziyi is an old man who wields two swords. He is stooped and has a thin cheek that looks like a mummy. He has a few strands of white hair and a bald head like the Mediterranean Sea.
His family name is Tong, and he wears two arm-length half-moon scimitars on his waist. The knives are buckled in scabbards made of sheepskin and fine iron.
There are two thumb-thick iron ropes hanging from the scabbard of each knife, with four buckles hanging from the end. When making a move, both hands are used to move, four fingers are inserted into the buckle, the iron rope is connected to the handle of the knife, which can be taken off the hand, and the knife can be retracted when it is drawn out. The sword technique used is the "Double Connected Knife" of Southwest Xiang Tongjiazhai.
"Have you met Ji Ruge? What kind of person is he? Is his martial arts very good?" Qi Siming Ziyi asked in a deep drake voice.
"He is a young man in his twenties. The strange thing is that his internal strength is far superior to mine. I brought sixteen of the most powerful swordsmen there, seventeen in total including me. We surrounded and killed him at Tuohu Crossing. Only seven came back. What do you think of his martial arts?" Lan Sha frowned, remembering the weird and agile Qing Gong footwork that Xiao Yu used at that time, and shook his head.
Hearing this, Ziyi curled his lips and cursed: "Then why don't you call for more help? If Ji Ruge is really at this inn, will we die?" Lan Sha smiled slightly and replied: "Like him Such masters, if they are not the first-class masters to attack and kill, tell me, what is the use of bringing more people?"
"Haha, what Brother Lan said seems to make some sense." Ziyi nodded and asked: "Then you think we can surround and kill him?" Lan Sha hesitated for a moment, then slowly replied: "If you and I cooperate, it should be possible!"
"Brother Lan, don't allow other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige! You and I have a perfect sword, and I think we can fight even against the great commander, let alone a charlatan assassin!" Ziyi looked confident, Hehe laughed.
"Brother Ziyi, don't underestimate the enemy. We'd better be careful." Lan Sha remembered the battle yesterday with lingering fear.
Ziyi wrinkled and smiled contemptuously,
"Natural, natural!"
"By the way, Brother Lan, we know from the old man in the tavern that the three of them went north. How do you conclude that they will definitely go to the wilderness?" Ziyi paused and asked doubtfully.
Lan Sha slowly replied: "The girl who was with him that day is from the Mang tribe. Besides, there are no assassins in our building in the Xianbei Kingdom. Ji Ruge will naturally go to the most advantageous side with two old guys." Ziyi heard this and nodded,
"That's it." The two of them were walking and chatting, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the horse station on the edge of the wilderness. The two of them reined in their horses, and Lan Sha got off his horse and walked slowly towards the gate of the horse station paved with thatched mud huts.
"Excuse me, Brother Ziyi, please wait a minute. I'll go check on the situation first." Lan Sha clasped his fists at Ziyi. Ziyi nodded.
Lan Sha walked to the door of the inn and gently knocked on the copper ring on the door. Not long after, a lame old man opened the door and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He thought that it was so early in the morning and these two people were coming on horseback. They didn't look like they were going to buy a horse. They might be passing by. So he replied: "Sir, I'm sorry." Just go elsewhere, the old man has nothing to eat here, only horses for sale!"
"Brother from the inn, I'm here to help." Lan Sha took a couple of silver coins from his arms and handed them over, then continued, "I want to ask something." The lame old man opened his eyes when he saw the money, and immediately put a smile on his face and reached out to grab it. He took the money and put it in his arms,
"Ask!" Lan Sha continued to ask: "Have you ever seen two old and one young people passing by? The young one is in his twenties, the old one is thin, and the other is strong."
"Yes." The lame old man replied: "Yesterday evening, the young man sent the two old guys to the wilderness, and he went south by himself! Of the two old guys, one is indeed thin and the other is strong! However, I was sitting at the door eating alone yesterday, and I took a closer look at the young man's appearance. He was about the same age as you. He must be around thirty-four or five years old. He was a middle-aged man with a long sword at his waist." Lan Sha. He frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure he is a middle-aged man, not a boy in his twenties?"
"OK." The lame old man nodded heavily. Lan Sha frowned, nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you." After Lan Sha finished speaking, he turned around and got on his horse, pointed to the south, and said to Ziyi: "Brother Ziyi, we have to go south. No. The person Ji Ruge sent the two old guys out of the Central Plains is a middle-aged swordsman. If we find him, we should be able to know Ji Ruge's whereabouts." Ziyi nodded, and the two of them rode south to chase.
at the same time. Under the order of Zhao Mingyun of the Third Division, all departments of the Meridian Division quickly sent orders to find Xiao Yu's whereabouts.
Furthermore, according to the descriptions of those who met Xiao Yu under Yiqu Changping, Xiao Yu's appearance was quickly drawn by the painters of the Meridian Department, and Xiao Yu's portrait and the reward and pursuit orders for 'Ji Ruge' were also quickly drawn. Sent out together.
'Xiao Yu, also known as Ji Ruge, whoever can lift this person's head to the seventh floor within seven days will be rewarded with 300,000 taels of silver!
'That's what the reward notice says. On one side is a picture of Xiao Yu, and in the lower right corner is a circle the size of a fist, with the two words 'Qi Sha' slanted inside.
One piece of paper, two orders. The first is the graphic and textual reward order for the seven-day murder of Ji Ruge; the second is the circle symbol with the word "Qi Kill" printed on it, which is the seven-story Jianghu kill order.
A pursuit order is issued! Any killer who has dealt with the Seventh Floor can assassinate the target, and the reward amount is ten times the amount of the assassination mission being carried out!
If nothing else goes wrong, this notice will soon spread like a carpet to cover the Central Plains, Hu, and Yan countries. ...Half a day flies by in a blink of an eye.
The 22nd, noon. On the border of Langzhou, in Kunzhou City, there is a tea shop.
"Staff, a bowl of Kuding strong tea and a bowl of oil-splashed noodles." A middle-aged swordsman stood at the sword table, took off his robe, and sat at the small square table facing the street in the tea shed outside the tea shop.
This middle-aged swordsman is Xiaoyu after he changed his body and changed his appearance. Xiaoyu put a five-cent coin on the table, and the shopkeeper brought a bowl of strong tea, collected the tea and noodles, and turned around to get busy.
The non-stop driving made Xiao Yu a little tired, so Gululu took a few sips of Kuding strong tea to refresh herself.
The city of Kunzhou is small, with only six or seven main streets. The county magistrate in the city issued an order not to allow horses to ride in the city during the day.
Therefore, before Xiaoyu entered the city, he sold the horse to Beicheng Horse Station. He could only wait until he left the city to buy a horse from Nancheng Horse Station and continue on his journey.
He had to walk across the city. At noon, it's time to drink strong tea to refresh yourself and eat noodles to satisfy your hunger. Before the noodles were served, two more people came to the tea shop.
A rough middle-aged swordsman, a stooped swordsman with two swords. These two people didn't sit anywhere else, so they just sat next to each other.
"Innkeeper, each person has a bowl of Kuding strong tea, plus a bowl of oil noodles." The swordsman said solemnly.
Xiaoyu glanced at the swordsman and swordsman on one side and frowned. Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. The swordsman is none other than Swordsman Lansha.
The swordsman is Ziyi, the swordsman. Xiaoyu's noodles were served, and he began to eat them happily. At least now, he didn't feel that these two evil stars had murderous intentions... It's important to eat noodles!
Soon, their tea and noodles were served on the table. The three of them were minding their own business drinking tea and eating noodles.
