The screams in the alley of Yuezhou Crossing Station gradually subsided, and finally only a man in gray robe covered with blood came out. He seemed quite satisfied with his current attire. He sheathed his sword, straightened his clothes, held the sword in his arms and walked towards the ferry dock. .
After the two men in gray robes and holding swords left in the boat, the waiter of the inn took some strong men to the entrance of the alley. There seemed to be some straw mats and ropes in his hands. The waiter raised his hand and said: With a gesture, the men walked into the alley, wrapped the extra things tightly in straw mats, and took them away.
At this early morning, it seemed that nothing special happened at the entire river crossing station, and everything became peaceful again.
Hangzhou City, Yijian Villa
Lin Manliu rubbed his eyes and stood up. He stretched and suddenly realized that the sun was almost higher than his window frame. He hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and thought about why he slept so deeply. Normally, the sky should be slightly brighter in the morning. Wake up.
While thinking, he suddenly saw that the dining table in the room was still clean. The boy in short shirt thought to himself that the servant of Yijian Villa is so diligent? He came in to pack things before he even left the house, and he even wanted to see if there were any leftovers and cold juice on the table to make do with.
He had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, tied on his two daggers and walked out. As soon as he went out, Lin Manliu felt a little strange. It had been too quiet since he got up until now when he went out. He turned to look at the room next door. , the door was just left open but not closed.
The boy in a short shirt knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly walked towards Yue Hanzhi's house. When he arrived in front of the door, he clenched Shan Ye Xing's vigilant left hand and slowly pulled out the scabbard. The tip of the sword pressed against the gap in the door and slowly opened it.
However, it was soon confirmed that no one was in the house, and there were no signs of rummaging around. Lin Manliu looked around the house vigilantly and found a letter on the edge of the bed. There was only one full word written on the envelope, which was Yue Hanzhi. handwriting.
The boy in a short shirt opened the envelope and unfolded the folded letter.
"It was necessary to leave for Jiangning a few days ago, but seeing you practicing swordsmanship, I always wanted to see what it would be like to open the village by then. I have already seen you and set off for Jiangning. I may not see you again in the future. See... I hope you will cherish it, the moon."
There was originally something else written at the end, but the words were scratched out by the ink and the written words could not be seen. Lin Manliu ran out of the small courtyard without even bothering to collect the envelope. When he saw people, he asked if he had seen it. No one in the villa could answer the woman in blue who entered the villa with him. It wasn't until the young man ran to the main hall that he realized that his behavior was a bit abrupt and impolite.
Thinking about asking Ye Dangting to inquire, he saw a young man in pink clothes leaning on the pillars outside the main hall. He was leaning leisurely on the pillars and seemed to be enjoying the breeze that suddenly drifted here. Lin Man Just as Liu was about to speak out, he heard the young man in pink shaking his head and saying, "Miss Yue left on her own half an hour ago."
The young man in a short shirt thanked him and left after knowing what he wanted to ask. He found the groom of the villa and borrowed a horse and led him to the north gate, wondering if he could catch up with Yue Hanzhi.
Less than a mile out of the city, they entered a bamboo forest. There were no pedestrians on the road. At this time, Lin Manliu was still riding his horse forward without any direction. It seemed that Miss Yue was in front of him. He wanted to thank these people in person. Take care and encourage yourself every day.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting at the corner of the road ahead. The boy in a short shirt hurriedly reined in his horse and quietly tied it to a bamboo tree on the roadside. He slowly unsheathed the mountain bike around his waist and looked forward. past.
I saw a luxuriously decorated carriage at the corner. Seven or eight big men dressed as guards were protecting the carriage to prevent the men in black from approaching. This carriage looked familiar. I thought about it and remembered that this was it. Is it Jiang Yanlin's carriage? The men in black on the outside were completely crushing them and wantonly injuring the guards, but they did not kill them directly.
As if he wanted to slowly torture the guards, Lin Manliu carefully observed them and confirmed that there was no one else around, so he decided to help. Shan Yexing raised his left hand and raised his arm, ready to throw it forward. The target was the neck of a masked man in black.
Just when Shan Yexing was about to get out of his hand, a silver needle as thin as a hair suddenly shot out from nowhere, making a roaring sound as it pierced through the air and directly pierced the sword body of Shan Yexing, which was still spinning.
Such a tiny silver needle actually knocked down the high-speed spinning dagger, leaving a large white mark on the blade. The masked men in black also heard the noise behind them, and turned to look at where Lin Manliu was hiding. Each of them was holding a black short knife, just like the color of their clothes.
Upon seeing this, the boy in the short shirt first rolled forward and grabbed Shan Yexing on the ground, then pulled out the spring window butterfly from behind, and faced the men in black with swords in both hands. Since he couldn't hide, he should fight.
Suddenly a strange bird song came from the air, "Cuckoo--Cuckoo--Cuckoo--" The masked people in black seemed to have received the instructions, and they divided into three people in an orderly manner, standing back to back. Facing Lin Manliu's sword-wielding young man in short shirt standing in front of him, the three people with their backs turned continued to walk in the direction of the carriage.
This time, he seemed to be murderous. As soon as he met the guards, one of the guards was wiped on the neck by a masked man in black. Blood splashed all over the ground. Seeing this, the other guards quickly filled in the gaps and continued to follow the guard. Three men in black fought against the enemy.
On Lin Manliu's side, the three men in black were just blocking his offensive moves and didn't have much desire to attack him. The boy in the short shirt looked at the guards who were falling one after another behind them, and secretly wondered in his heart what the purpose of these people was and why they only blocked him and did not attack the enemy with a killing move.
At this moment, the door of the carriage suddenly opened, and Jiang Yanlin rushed out of the carriage with his long sword, shouting: "I will fight you! If you want my life, there is no way!".
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked back to the wheel of the carriage by a man in black, and then kicked to the ground. At this time, the three men in black, who did not know how to guard against the boy in short shirts, slowed down their attack. Many, he immediately observed that "there is a flaw!" allowing him to rush out of the position surrounded by three people. Lin Manliu quickly rushed into the carriage formation to stop the masked men in black who wanted to continue killing the guards.
The boy in the short shirt used two swords with both hands. He thrust out one sword after another to block the attack of the men in black. However, some of the sword blades passed through the obstruction of the two daggers and stabbed Lin Manliu's forearm. But it seemed impossible to cut the boy's forearm.
The difference between the two arms is that there is a pair of wrist guards, which are quite ordinary and simple black wrist guards. However, if a caravan man or Yue Hanzhi is nearby, he will know what these ordinary black cloth wrist guards are. It was the black cloth strip that had been wrapping the Spring Chuangdie sword body before - the iron coat.
In the process of sword practice these days, one afternoon Ye Dangting, an old liar in yellow shirt, suddenly displayed a wristband made of black cloth strips in front of him. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but Ye Dangting threw the cloth directly to him. It protects himself so that he can use it to protect his hands when going out to avoid being deliberately attacked by the enemy on his forearms.
Today, the bamboo forest outside the city was in danger. Lin Manliu was immediately put to use when he was in danger. Lin Manliu used his sword arbitrarily beside the carriage. As long as there were not some powerful cuts, the two short swords were not caught, and the sword blades were cut across his arms. There was no fear that these black cloth strips would be broken by slashing.
After seizing the opportunity several times against the enemy, Lin Manliu activated the spring window butterfly in his right hand to collide with the blade of the man in black. Then there was the sound of metal objects breaking after the collision. Of course, it was in the hands of the man in black. The short sword was broken by Chun Chuangdie's direct slash.
The daggers of two of the men in black had been cut off by the boy, and the others began to be wary of the boy in short shirts in front of them. At this moment, the strange bird song sounded again, but it seemed to be slightly different from the pronunciation just now.
"Coo-coo, coo, coo-coo"
The man in black seemed to have received another order. After a feint attack with the young man in front of him, he immediately dispersed in one direction and fled deep into the bamboo forest, disappearing without a trace not long after.
"Brother Liu!!! I can actually meet Brother Liu again today. He still saved me from trouble. Yanlin thanks Brother Liu for saving my life!!!" Jiang Yanlin staggered up next to the carriage and walked forward hurriedly to face him and him. The average tall boy said.
