Sichuan and Shu, Tangmen.
A woman in black appeared outside the Tang Sect's palace, playing with a few stones carelessly in her hands.
"Dong dong dong"
Without seeing how the woman moved, the stone flew out of her hand, flew towards the door, and hit the door leaf, just like a knock on the door, but the sound was much louder than the knock on the door, which shows how powerful it was.
As soon as the knock on the door rang, two wooden puppets jumped out of the Tangmen High Courtyard. The two puppets surrounded the woman in black, one on the left and the other on the right. They held iron swords and rushed towards the woman in black.
The woman in black flexed her hands and played two more times. Before the two puppets could reach her, they suddenly fell to the ground and stopped moving. If you look closely, you can see several silk threads connecting the puppets floating down from mid-air and hanging weakly toward the ground.
"Let's go." There was a sway in the treetops. It was obvious that someone was hiding among them and was about to report a message to the Tang Sect.
The woman in black pulled out a soft whip from her waist and swung it vigorously. The soft whip was like a swift poisonous snake, wrapping around the two people on the treetops. With a gentle tug, the two Tang Sect disciples were tied up with soft whips, dragged down from the tree, and fell to the ground.
The woman in black stepped on one of the Tang Sect disciples and said in a sweet voice: "The most capable person in the Tang Sect, come out to my aunt!" This sound contained internal power and resounded throughout the entire Tang Sect. After a while, countless disciples rushed out of each room of the Tang Sect and gathered towards the door.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt my Tang Sect disciple!" A middle-aged man in the lead asked.
"Are you the best fighter in the Tang Sect?" The woman in black glanced at him and asked.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said: "It turns out that we are here to play football. To put it bluntly, why are you hurting people? Let them go and I will fight you!"
"Haha, if I don't give you a little bit of power, you still don't take me seriously. What's the use of this kind of trash? If you want it, I'll give it back to you!" The woman in black kicked the two Tangmen who were lying on the ground. disciple. The two grown men were kicked away by the woman and bumped into the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was shocked. The disciples of the Tang Sect were only good at concealed weapons and traps. These two living men were flying towards them with the power of the woman. How could they stop them? However, they were all his own disciples. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stepped forward to greet them, reaching out to take them.
A pair of old hands appeared behind the middle-aged man, grabbed him and pushed him aside. The Tang Sect disciples bumped into each other, and these two palms, one in each hand, caught the two of them firmly and put them down.
"You are quite capable, little girl. How about I play with you?" The owner of the old palm appeared. She was an old lady with simple clothes, gray hair, and a cane.
The woman in black looked up and down and asked: "Tang Jinhua, the old lady of Tang Clan? You can fight if you want, but you and I are not similar in age and seniority. No matter who wins or loses, there will always be something to talk about. Change it." Come on, young man!”
Tang Jinhua grinned and said: "Hehehe, there are young people...but they are not in the sect now. If the girl insists on competing with my young disciple of the Tang Sect, I am afraid that the girl will be disappointed."
"In that case, I'm offended." The woman in black took off the gauze on her head and revealed her face. She has a beautiful face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and embroidered mouth, but her skin is slightly dark, not fair. However, there is a different kind of beauty, which makes the disciples of the Tang Sect who have seen countless beautiful Sichuan and Shu women secretly admire her.
"The girl is quite handsome." Tang Jinhua praised her with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
With two "swish" sounds, two silver needles flew towards Tang Jinhua's eyes.
Tang Jinhua was old, but her eyesight was not dull. She gently waved her cane and blocked the two silver needles. While waving the cane, several thin needles flew out of Tang Jinhua's sleeves and shot towards the woman in black.
The woman in black swung the soft whip in front of her, stirring all the fine needles on the soft whip. After retracting the soft whip, he stretched out his hand and gently flicked the soft whip, collecting all the fine needles into the palm of his hand.
Tang Jinhua also looked at the two silver needles nailed to her crutch and smacked her lips: "Silver...girl, concealed weapons are sometimes difficult to recycle after they are sent out. You use silver needles as concealed weapons, which is really a bit embarrassing." It’s extravagant and wasteful.”
"Mind your own business!" The woman in black waved her hand and saw silver needles pouring down from the sky, so densely packed that it was inevitable to avoid them.
The disciples of the Tang Sect all pulled away to dodge. Can a hidden weapon of this level still be called a hidden weapon? Silver needles are like rain, who can resist the rain?
Tang Jinhua looked at the sky full of silver needles, and her face became serious...
…
In Ancheng, a man and a woman rode two horses and walked slowly along the official road. They were Peng Baby and Tang Yunhe who had just left Beijing.
"To be honest, I'm a little scared when I think about it. I thought I was going to be under house arrest in the capital and never come out." Peng Baby felt frightened when he thought of what happened in the capital court.
Tang Yunhe said with a smile: "Ge Cifeng came to Beijing as a hostage and escaped unharmed. What are you afraid of? It seems that Wu Dinggong is right. Your Majesty is indeed wise and kind."
"Heshan? Your Majesty Heshan, why are you as scared as a quail? Are you lying on the ground and not daring to move?" Peng Baby thought of Tang Yunhe's appearance in the court and couldn't help but tease.
When Tang Yunhe heard this, his smile gradually faded: "Your Majesty is kind, but the same cannot be said for the people below. When we were waiting for the order outside the palace, I noticed that there were many masters in the palace, and many people were secretly secretly Staring at us. And the guy in the court..."
"Huh? Who is it?" Peng Baby asked curiously as he had no idea who Tang Yunhe was referring to.
Tang Yunhe shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's all over. Anyway, we have no rebellious intentions or intentions. As long as we stay honest in Sichuan and Sichuan, His Majesty will not do anything to us."
Peng Baby smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's good to be safe. Now that Chu Xiang has been wiped out, we no longer have to worry about being bullied by Chu Xiang and the others all day long! Hahahaha..." Peng Baby smiled heartily, half-way through his laughter, He suddenly stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yunhe noticed the change in Peng Baby's expression and asked aloud.
Baby Peng pursed his lips tightly, shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay..."
Tang Yunhe rode his horse closer to Peng Baby and said softly: "I can tell at a glance whether you are okay or not. If you have anything, don't hold it back. Tell me."
Peng Baby was silent for another moment, but after all, she was not someone who could hide things in her heart, so she couldn't help it anymore: "Do you still remember to pay me your favor?"
Tang Yunhe glanced at Peng Baby in surprise: "How come I don't know her? If she hadn't risked her life to come over the mountains and ridges to persuade us, we would still be undecided in Yingcheng! Speaking of which, we should really thank her, you Why mention her properly?"
"Actually, as early as two years ago, she came to me and advised me not to wade into the muddy waters with Chu Xiang. However, Chu Xiang was pressing hard, so I had no choice but to lead my troops out of Sichuan..." Peng Baby said what he had paid two years ago. He told her everything about his love for her.
"You know Bai Fanhong, right?" Peng Baby asked after finishing speaking.
Tang Yunhe nodded lightly: "Senior Bai can be regarded as a hero in the world. Since he entered martial arts, he has never heard of a defeat. Not only that, everyone who has fought against him has broken his swords and spears, destroying his martial arts. , disappeared into the world. Even when he went to Zhenyang Mountain to challenge Zhang Zongbai, no one knew the outcome. People said that it is easy to win against nature, but it is difficult to win in vain. This shows how terrifying it is to be in martial arts... When the old lady talked about him, You were there too, didn’t you listen?”
Peng Baby ignored him and asked, "Will such a powerful person really be killed by Beiyi Khan?" Peng Baby naturally knew about Bai Fanhong, but the more he knew about him, the more shocked and scared he became. Now she very much hopes that Tang Yunhe will give a negative answer so that she can feel at ease.
Tang Yunhe did not, he shook his head: "It's hard to say...Senior Bai has indeed disappeared for a long time..."
Peng Baby said with a bitter face: "To the north of Sichuan and Shu is Anxi, and to the north of Anxi is Beiyi... You said..." Peng Baby stopped talking.
Tang Yunhe looked at Peng Baobao's sad look and knew that she was worried about Chu Xiang, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, it's okay. The three kings in the north have been in the same spirit for many years, one will be prosperous and one will suffer. If something happens to Anxi, How could the other two places stand idly by? Besides, now the imperial court has recovered Nanhuai, Donglu, and Chuxiang. If the sky falls, a tall man will hold it up, so what are you, a short man, afraid of?"
Peng Baby rolled his eyes at Tang Yunhe and said, "I'm just afraid that the imperial court will not be able to protect itself...I heard that Beiyi now has millions of soldiers..."
"Hey, that girl Fu Qing must be scaring you. If she doesn't say that, she's afraid that Sichuan-Shu and Chu-Xiang will cause chaos. There are wolves outside, so sheep will stay in the sheepfold honestly. Don't you understand this?"
Baby Peng lowered her head and said nothing. She always felt very uneasy in her heart.
…
"The old man's physical skills are still there, and his skills are still the same as before!" The woman in black and Tang Jinhua fought harder and harder, and the hidden weapons on both sides became more and more cunning. The ground was covered with puppet limbs. It can be imagined that Such a fierce battle caused the two of them to use up all their trump cards.
Tang Jinhua didn't answer. She was old and hadn't been beaten so happily for a long time. It's just that time is ruthless, and she is already old. After all, she can't match the physical strength and endurance of the woman in black. She is still struggling to support her, relying only on her decades of experience in the world.
The thin needle and the silver needle collided again and flew out at the same time. The woman in black jumped into the air. When she was about to fall, a puppet with only its upper body suddenly got up on the ground. The steel knife in its hand came up from the bottom and struck at the woman in black.
The woman in black flicked her fingers, and out of the puppet parts scattered on the ground, an intact puppet crawled out. This puppet was not as solemn and solemn as the Tang Sect puppets, but had a hint of evil smile, which made people shudder.
Fortunately, the puppet didn't do anything shocking. Instead, it ducked under the woman in black, knocked open the half-broken puppet of the Tang Sect, stretched out its hands, and caught the woman in black firmly.
Tang Jinhua remained unmoved and was about to make another move when a sudden burst of pain struck her. When she lowered her head and looked down, she saw a long sword piercing her chest, revealing a blade that was more than a foot long...
"What's going on..." Tang Jinhua was concentrating on the hands of the woman in black and didn't see any movement from her. Besides, how could there be an enemy behind her? Behind him are all disciples of the Tang Sect.
Tang Jinhua finally saw it, and behind him was a puppet wearing the clothes of a Tang Sect disciple!
"She obviously... didn't move..." What you need to pay attention to when competing with hidden weapons is the opponent's eyes and finger movements. Tang Jinhua has been paying attention to the movements of the woman in black. She didn't see any movements. How could this puppet move?
The puppet behind him jumped away, dodged the blows of the surrounding Tang Sect disciples, and landed directly next to the woman in black. The woman in black jumped down, took out a few thin threads from the evil smile puppet she operated, and shook it twice in front of Tang Jinhua.
Tang Jinhua's eyes widened in fear, her body went limp, and she fell into the arms of the Tang Sect disciples behind her.
"Using a puppet...to control a puppet...it's amazing..." Tang Jinhua slowly closed her eyes unwillingly.
