Everyone in the world knows that there are four masters of the so-called "Feng Hua Xue Yue" in Dashu imperial court.
Among them, wind refers to the wind that fills the building.
As mentioned before, he is stationed at Yingzhou Guard; and whether in terms of name or martial arts, he can be regarded as the first of the four masters.
However, Feng Manlou was born in the army, that is, a soldier, so he does not have any charlatanism in him, and of course he does not have any bureaucratic style. He is more like an extremely outstanding soldier or grassroots commander who attaches great importance to discipline and Be clear about right and wrong and upright.
And tonight, the two people "watching the fire" on the roof near Tianqi Gang are also among the four masters.
The short one is called Hua Shili.
The tall one's name is Shui Hanyi.
These two are very different from Feng Manlou...
They both work in Jinyiwei, the so-called secret service agency, and the things they usually do are much more complicated than those handled by Feng Manlou.
Instead of fighting head-on, Hua Shili and Shui Hanyi did more assassinations, spying on intelligence, and undercover work.
Of course, this does not mean that their martial arts are much worse than Feng Manlou in a head-on confrontation.
Take Shui Hanyi for example. He is thirty-seven years old this year. He has practiced martial arts for thirty years and swordsmanship for twenty-five years. He studied under the "Shandong Sword Tiger" Wu Yi; his swordsmanship, even if it is a magic sword, The owner of the villa, Songzhuang, would also be wary of meeting him.
With his martial arts, it should be enough to defeat Shen Youran, but... with Gu Qiying in the mix, it might be difficult for him.
Gu Qiying is undoubtedly a top-notch master. His martial arts talent is not inferior to that of his brother Gu Qizong. In addition, he has lived more than ten years longer than his brother, so it is natural for him to reach this level.
Moreover, in addition to his martial arts, he also has one thing that is extremely difficult to deal with, and that is his physique.
After Gu Qiying escaped from the ruins of the Wuling Sect's main altar, he suffered injuries that were impossible to cure with the medical technology of this era. In order to fight against this fate, he used taboo means to treat himself. His body became a symbiotic existence with Gu.
You can even think that his entire being is a voodoo, and not only is he a voodoo, he is also a "nest" and a "matrix"...
The acupoints, joints, vital points in normal martial arts and medical knowledge... are meaningless when applied to Gu Qiying's body.
In other words: He is not afraid of acupuncture points, he is not afraid of joint techniques, and those injuries that are fatal to ordinary people... it may not be a big deal if he suffers them.
On this basis, he also developed a whole body of martial arts skills with this body; not only the kung fu of the Tianqi Gang, but also the kung fu of the Justice Sect, as well as many martial arts he collected through the power of "Shadow" Martial arts secrets... For him, it was nothing to learn them all.
At this point, Lin Yuancheng should be able to understand him, because in the eyes of people with their qualifications, only the self-created kung fu by geniuses like them have a certain degree of difficulty in learning, and the other ordinary kung fu that anyone can understand You can master 70% to 80% of ordinary martial arts just by watching people use them.
To sum up, at least the current Shui Hanyi should not be able to defeat Gu Qiying.
Shui Hanyi himself was also very aware of the gap in strength between the two sides. After all, he had been secretly investigating Shadow and the Gate of Justice for a long time... Therefore, he just told Hua Shili that he was going to "meet" their family. I didn’t say I was going to fight to the death.
So what are Shen Youran and Gu Qiying doing at this moment?
Of course he was already mad.
Especially Gu Qiying, after hearing the news that the hostages were missing and the fires were burning everywhere in the gang, he was stunned for a few seconds at first, and then he almost lost his mind with anger. If he hadn't filmed it on the spot. The disciple who came to report to him died to vent his anger, and he might have immediately passed away due to high blood pressure and a stroke.
Think about it, you have planned a big conspiracy, held it in for more than ten years, and made yourself look like a human being or a ghost. You finally succeeded, and you are now drinking tea, chatting and drawing with your cronies. The cake was lustful...and someone suddenly stole it from my house!
Over the past two hundred years, the heroes and the management of various righteous sects were originally Gu Qiying's important capital to control the entire martial arts world. Now, not a single one of them is left; and then the base camp of his operations is the former Justice Sect and now the chief helmsman of the Tianqi Gang. , and he was about to be burned up by a fire.
When thinking of the "base camp", Gu Qiying couldn't help but think of... It seems that You Jing and Huang Donglai have been gone for a long time. Is there any change?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He soon understood what was going on and said no.
"It's broken!" At this moment, Gu Qiying looked ferocious and said to Shen Youran almost through gritted teeth, "Where are Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai's rooms? Take me there quickly!"
Shen Youran had already vaguely realized that tonight's incident was most likely related to Sun and Huang, so he took Gu Qiying without saying a word.
There is no need to boast about the Qing Gong of these two people. Even if the fire is bigger, as long as there is no lid on their heads, they will not be afraid of running away. Moreover, the fire is not so big that they have to run away, so they don't have to run away. He ignored the surrounding gang members who were in a mess due to fighting the fire. He just stepped on his feet and moved together, and they both rushed towards the room where Sun and Huang were staying.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at their destination. Gu Qiying was also a very cautious person. In order to prevent someone from ambush or being trapped behind the door, he did not step forward to open the door. Instead, he used his internal energy and opened the door casually. "Suck", he sucked two rockeries in the garden that were as tall as half a person in front of him, and then pushed the two rockeries with his palm and flew them out.
I saw the two rockeries flying towards the doors of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai like two missiles. With two loud bangs, the doors of the two rooms were like glass windows hit by gas tanks. It was blown to pieces.
But in the end, there was no ambush or trap in the house.
Gu Qiying also took Shen Youran in to take a look. There was nothing in Huang Donglai's room. It could be seen that he had lived there, and he could also see that all the useful luggage had been taken away. But in Sun Yixie's room, I really left something behind.
Gu and Chen only saw clearly after entering the house and using the firelight shining in from outside...
Before Sun Yixie left, he wrote a line of large characters in ink on the wall of his room. These were among the few he knew how to write, relatively simple traditional Chinese characters - Is it cool down there, both of you?
The most outrageous thing is that this illiterate person added a question mark that only modern people can understand after this message to two people from the Zhao Dynasty, and the two people really understood the punctuation based on the context of this sentence. .
"ah--"
Shen Youran was okay. Gu Qiying roared on the spot after seeing these words. After the roar, his face changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed all over the wall.
His body was not normal to begin with, and now he was in a state of intense rage, with no place to vent it, hurting his heart and causing internal injuries.
Shen Youran quickly stepped forward to help: "Uncle Ying, how are you?"
"I...I..." Gu Qiying staggered at first, but with Shen's help, he quickly regained his balance, "I'm fine..."
After the mouthful of blood spurted out, his breathing became smoother, but he felt a little weak for a while. After taking a few breaths, Gu Qiying finally regained his composure and said in a very regretful tone: " Unexpectedly... the eagle that has played with me all my life was actually pecked in the eye by two chicks today..."
From Gu Qiying's perspective, he was right to say this. After all, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were still young men of seventeen or eighteen in this world.
If the Lord knew that the mental age of these two guys was older than his own, then he wouldn't call them "young birds", at least he would call them "two old dogs" or "thousand-year-old kings and eighty-thousand-year-old turtles".
"Uncle Ying, what should we do now?" Shen Youran also lost his bearings and quickly asked Gu Qiying what to do next.
Gu Qiying composed himself, thought for a moment, and responded: "Youran, don't panic... Don't worry, we haven't lost yet." After saying this, he gently pushed away Shen Youran's hand that was supporting him, and with his own He regained his strength and said again, "The chief rudder of the Justice Sect should be destroyed if it is destroyed. Anyway, these original disciples of the Justice Sect are not worth mentioning. As long as we have the Bliss Gu in hand, we can always find replacements; right now The most important thing is to get back the Gu materials I left in Sihu Residence, as well as my Gu refining notes..."
Hearing this, Shen Youran suddenly realized: "Yes! That's what Huang Donglai was going for, right?" He paused for half a second and frowned, "But he has been gone for more than an hour now, I'm afraid..."
"Hmph...you underestimate me, Uncle Ying." Gu Qiying snorted and replied confidently. While speaking, he walked out of the room and gestured for Shen Youran to follow.
At this time, the fire had gradually spread here, so the two could only leave here and talk as they walked.
"According to common sense, Huang Donglai is definitely not You Jing's opponent, but considering that he is a descendant of the Huangmen and has no intention of calculation, I estimate that the probability of You Jing being poisoned is still very high... However, even if You Jing dies, Even Huang Donglai can't escape our grasp." Gu Qiying's internal strength is really strong. He only suffered internal injuries two minutes ago. After two minutes, he was able to use Qing Gong while speaking calmly and with a steady tone. , "First of all, before I left Sihui Residence, I had already set up several poisons to prevent theft - poisonous incense was lit in every room, and the doors were all painted with poison, except for You Jing and me. Besides, other people will be poisoned and die if they touch the door frame...
"Secondly, I have also placed several secret sentries near the No-Return Tower... Although the number of 'Shadow's' is small, they are all good players who can stand alone. They are definitely not comparable to these disciples of the Justice Sect. If they are Seeing Huang Donglai and You Jing go in together, but Huang Donglai comes out alone, you will definitely become suspicious; even if you don't kill him on the spot, you will follow him to see where he goes next."
Hearing this, Shen Youran's expression changed slightly and he interrupted: "Eh? Then following Huang Donglai's route... is it possible to track the escaped martial arts people?"
"That's right." A smile finally appeared on Gu Qiying's lips again, "Youran, your mind works very quickly... That's why, if Huang Donglai really walked out of the No Return Building alive, it would be a big deal for us. Good thing. At this moment, he must have read my notes and knew the solution to the Bliss Gu, and was about to meet with the righteous people to tell them how to solve the Gu.
"Huh... But they don't know that there are people from my shadow among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and I have already given instructions. If there is any change tonight, don't be afraid of exposing your identity, just send a 'cloud-piercing arrow' to notify me; Those who were monitoring near the No Return Building received the same instructions...
"However, no one has fired arrows until now, which shows two things: first, those who escaped are still in the city; second, Huang Donglai has not yet reunited with those people... and as soon as they meet, I The subordinate who is following Huang Donglai must have fired an arrow."
"Ha..." Shen Youran also smiled after hearing this, "So, as long as we wait for the cloud-piercing arrow to fly into the sky, and then pounce on it, we can use the Gu Bell to kill all those people again."
Gu Qiying said: "Yes, so... you should probably tell these fools below to stop putting out fires and follow us out first. We will need them to help escort people later."
When they were talking about this, they happened to arrive on the roof of a house in the center of the main rudder.
Shen Youran understood what Gu Qiying meant by bringing him here, and he immediately started to circulate his Qi, trying to use his skills to raise his voice, and roared a few times, so that the chaotic gang below could run away in an orderly manner.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a figure suddenly came from a distance.
The man just tapped his toes and flew past the rooftops. His skills and body movements were like a dragonfly touching the water or a sharp arrow piercing the air.
When Shen and Gu saw each other, their bodies trembled and their expressions changed immediately. One had thick eyebrows and deep frowns, while the other's mouth twitched - both of them were good at recognizing things. They could also see that it was a tough idea.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Hanyi, wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife, stood in front of Shen Youran and Gu Qiying.
"You two, do you know me?" Shui Hanyi didn't need to be polite to them.
He is an official, and these two... are people. Being polite to you is a sign of cultivation, and not being polite to you is a right thing.
"Ha..." Gu Qiying sneered, "If I admit my mistake correctly, the honorable master should be Shui Hanyi, one of the four great masters of the imperial court, 'Fenghuaxueyue'?"
His tone was also unkind, because he also knew that Shui Hanyi's appearance at this moment would not do anything good.
"Okay." Shui Hanyi continued, "As expected of the Lord of Shadow, his hands and eyes are astute to the sky. Even a little guy like me who doesn't often appear in front of people can recognize me."
"Lord Shui is also very knowledgeable..." Gu Qiying said, "You can actually recognize that I am the Lord of Shadow..."
The murderous intent in his words almost overflowed. Can Shui Hanyi still not understand?
"Gu Qiying." So Shui Hanyi simply called him by his first name and continued, "Do you think you have been planning these things over the years? Doesn't the imperial court know?"
"Does our own affairs in the world have anything to do with the imperial court?" Gu Qiying asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense." Shui Hanyi replied confidently, "What matter in the world has nothing to do with the imperial court? Who dares to say that they are not under the imperial court's control?" What he said was indeed full of confidence, "I tell you... …I don’t care about you, I don’t care about you. If you want to take care of… you can take care of anything.”
"What you said...isn't it against the rules?" Gu Qiying's tone became colder. The only reason why he hadn't taken action yet was because of the other party's official status.
In terms of official position, Shui Hanyi holds the rank of Jinyiwei Baihu, which is the sixth rank. It stands to reason that this official is neither big nor small, and people like Shui Hanyi do not perform any administrative functions on weekdays, but only do hard work close to the front line. thing.
But the key point is that he is one of the "four masters" appointed by the Great Emperor's court. What does it mean to be appointed? Even the Emperor DìDū admitted this; the Feiyu Sui Xiuchun Dao worn by him and Hua Shili were both gifts from the Emperor. Do you dare to kill such people? After the killing, what consequences should you consider?
"Lord Gu, don't you think it's ridiculous for the word 'rules' to come out of your mouth?" Shui Hanyi's eloquence is not bad. Besides, he is taking advantage of the situation. How could he say that? But the other party said, "If you abide by the 'rules', will you be targeted by us?"
"Alas..." Gu Qiying sighed when he heard this, then turned around and said, "Youran, you continue."
The moment he said the word "continue", his figure had already moved, and his whole body flashed towards Shui Hanyi like a standing and moving ghost.
It was at the same time that he took action that a cloud-piercing arrow soared into the sky in the west of the city, lighting up the night sky...
