As soon as he enters the world of martial arts, time passes and young men are prone to grow old.
Unknowingly, it has arrived in the spring of the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign, and five full years have passed since Bai Xiaosheng re-drafted the "Weapons Spectrum".
In the past five years, the world is still not as peaceful as Bai Xiaosheng's original intention, because of a ranked "weapon spectrum".
On the contrary, challenging the strong in the "weapon spectrum" has become a favorite shortcut for more and more newcomers to become famous.
And those famous masters on the "Weapons Spectrum", in order to protect their reputation and the status, wealth, power, beauty that comes from it... they will not hesitate to use all means to destroy these things that try to shake their reputation and then deprive themselves of it. The younger generation who has everything.
Challenges and confrontations, fights and intrigues, one step from heaven to the other from hell, there is hardly a day that goes by without them being staged in the arena.
On this day, on the windy and sandy northwest road, there were three fast horses galloping on the deserted ancient road.
The three horses were all red like coals, with high backs and long legs, running like the wind. They were obviously rare and well-bred horses.
The knights on horseback, two men and one woman, are all wearing powerful clothes and large cloaks in three colors: green, white and red. Each of them has a hanging gauze hat on his head that can protect against the sun and wind and sand. It cannot be seen that How it looks. Just judging from his body shape, he shouldn't be old.
Seeing that it was almost noon, a simple pavilion for guests to rest appeared on the road ahead. The girl in red raised her voice and said: "It's still half a day's journey from Qinzhou. Let's go to the pavilion for a while." Rest!"
The young man in white who was walking side by side on the left smiled and said: "Junior sister said she wanted to rest, so she must rest. If you are exhausted, I'm afraid someone will feel sorry for you!"
The girl in red spat softly and said angrily: "Second Senior Brother, if you talk nonsense again, be careful and I will cut your tongue!"
There was a tone of contrived surprise in the voice of the young man in white: "How is this nonsense? Don't Mr. Sun feel sorry for you when you are exhausted? - Junior sister, don't you think I am talking about someone else?"
"You!" Only then did the girl in red realize that she was being teased by him. She was ashamed and angry but helpless.
The young man in green clothes on the other side finally spoke, with a cold and calm tone: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
However, the young man in white could clearly discern a hint of embarrassment from the words that seemed to contain no trace of emotion. Knowing that if he continued to speak, this guy who was always hands-on but silent would probably go crazy, so he immediately shut up.
The three fast horses suddenly arrived at the edge of the pavilion. The three of them reined in the reins at the same time and dismounted. They tied the three horses to several wooden stakes set up by the pavilion. They each took off the packages on the saddle sides. The young man in white also took off a package. The pole is about two feet long, and it is wrapped in a silk sheath. It cannot be seen that it is a long weapon such as a spear or a sword.
They moved into the pavilion and first took off the bamboo hats on their heads, revealing three handsome faces full of youthful vitality. They were none other than Zhu Houzhao, A Fei and Sun Xiaohong.
Now these three little guys are all fifteen or sixteen years old. Because they have practiced superior martial arts, Ah Fei and Zhu Houzhao are tall and tall, not inferior to adult men, and Sun Xiaohong is also slim and graceful.
There are no tables or benches in the pavilion, so the surrounding fences serve as seats.
After the three of them sat down, Sun Xiaohong took out the pastry from the bag that she had put a lot of effort into making. Although it looked ugly, the taste was passable. She sent it to A Fei with a smile, but ignored Zhu Houzhao who was standing beside her.
Ah Fei thanked him, brought it over and ate a few pieces of the water.
Sun Xiaohong saw him eating deliciously, and immediately smiled, her pretty face full of happiness.
When Zhu Houzhao saw this scene, he couldn't eat the exquisite pastries made by famous chefs in his hands.
Because when he looked left and right, he felt that these pastries looked like something called "dog food" that Master Hu Long had said.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao was just unhappy with these two guys "showing affection" in front of him, but he did not feel any loss or jealousy.
After all, although the three children have known each other since childhood, during which Sun Xiaohong was sold by Old Man Tianji and stuffed into Hu Yuan's family, and became the junior sister of A Fei and Zhu Houzhao, they did not form any subtle love triangle with each other.
Zhu Houzhao is a boy who loves beauty, but he only likes plump and mature older sisters. He has never looked down upon young girls who have not yet grown up. He always treats the lively and lively Sun Xiaohong as a brother.
Seeing Sun Xiaohong's small revenge against Zhu Houzhao, A Fei finally got down to business: "Second junior brother, are you sure that King Anhua will come to Qinzhou to meet Jia Jingzhong in person? You must know that it is taboo for a vassal king to leave his fiefdom privately."
Zhu Houzhao replied confidently: "Elder brother, don't worry. My younger brother has placed an informant around Jia Jingzhong and knows his every move. Naturally, he also indirectly knows King Anhua who has made a deal with him."
Sun Xiaohong curled her lips and said: "How could Uncle Zhu reuse such a greedy and stupid dead eunuch? He actually believed that King Anhua bought a blank decree from him with three thousand taels of gold, just to restore his deprived bodyguard! "
Ah Fei has been following Hu Long for a long time, and although he has never learned his tricks, he can see through them at a glance, and explained calmly:
"This is the brilliance of Uncle Zhu's way of employing people. If such a guy who is greedy for money, greedy for power and brainless is pushed to the front, those who are always in trouble with Uncle Zhu will have to take most of their energy away from him. And this is It is also an excellent bait and can lure all kinds of fish with ulterior motives into the snare - that King Anhua is just an unlucky fish."
Seeing Sun Xiaohong looking at him in surprise with a look full of "So you, I am such a person", Zhu Houzhao coughed dryly and said:
"There are no blessings or misfortunes, they can only be brought about by oneself. King Anhua has indeed been harboring rebellion for a long time. He has secretly won over a large number of Ganning Guard military officers such as He Jin, Zhou Ang, Ding Guang, etc., and even has connections with the Western Demonic Cult. Something is unclear.
"He defrauded Jia Jingzhong of the blank imperial edict this time. I'm afraid he doesn't want to endure it any longer and will take action. In order to avoid the widespread use of weapons and the destruction of life, I have no choice but to personally catch the thieves and the stolen goods, and capture the thieves and the king."
When it came to serious matters, Sun Xiaohong stopped laughing and frowned: "If King Anhua really colludes with the Demon Cult, there may be masters of the Demon Cult accompanying him this time. If the four kings and the four princesses of the Demon Cult are Such a character, the three of us may not be able to cope with it."
"Hong'er, don't worry, how could Uncle Zhu let the second junior brother put himself in danger?" A Fei comforted Sun Xiaohong first, then turned to Zhu Houzhao and asked, "You have secretly taken over Jinyiwei in the past few years, what about the 'Four Spirit Generals' this time?" Are they all mobilized?"
Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from anyone, senior brother. Yes, at this moment, Qinglong, Baihu, and Suzaku among the 'Four Spirit Generals' of the Jinyiwei have led 400 Jinyiwei masters to sneak into Qinzhou. As for 'Xuanwu', they have already pretended Zuo was bribed twice. On the one hand, he followed Jia Jingzhong, and on the other hand, he became King Anhua's internal agent!"
After the three of them said these words and ate pastries, they were about to pack up their things and continue on the road. Then they came out of the pavilion. Suddenly they saw billowing smoke and dust coming from the road behind like a yellow tornado from a distance, and then they heard something in their ears. The sound of horse hooves is heard from gentle to loud, as dense as a rain shower.
