When I accidentally saw the fortune teller, he seemed to see me too. Our eyes did not meet directly, but we both knew each other's existence. I suppressed my excitement, but wanted to confirm the identity of the other party. I pretended to turn my head unconsciously, and before turning my head, I glanced at him quickly again. He was still sitting there calmly, playing with the bamboo sticks and talking to the person in front of me for advice. I remember he was blind and wore sunglasses, but now his eyes are piercing. I believed that my eyes were definitely right, and I couldn't help feeling nervous and excited. If I caught him, I could figure out many things, including Xiang Chong's death.
it's him! I think I saw it right, I feel like I'm shaking. Excited, I quickly whispered to Ning Boyang: "Brother, I found the assassin!" Ning Boyang didn't seem to hear, he just stared at the background where Mr. Li left, and praised in his mouth: "The most elegant person in the world is probably Such a man of character!" I quickly whispered it again, and Ning Boyang recovered. I repeated it again. His eyes were bright, and he grabbed me and said: " Second brother, you read that right, is it him?" I nodded and said, "That's him. If you catch him, maybe you can avenge Xiang Chong!" "Where is he?" His voice was a little high-pitched, "You Keep your voice down, he's nearby! Let's go over there."
Ning Boyang still grabbed my arm, very hard. I looked at him in confusion and he said, "Can we do it?" "Why not?" When I looked up again, I saw the fortune teller pretending to be calm and starting to clean up. Something, he hurriedly said: "What's okay? The three of us go together, are we afraid that we can't catch him?!" Ning Boyang said hurriedly: "We don't have weapons, so we may not be his opponents. We might as well follow him quietly, and then Report the news to the Zhenfu Division!"
I nodded, this was also a good idea, but the fortune teller walked out in a hurry, and it was too late for us to report the news. I said anxiously: "It's too late, he found me, let's go, let's catch up quickly." I said, throwing away. Ning Boyang's hand squeezed out from the crowd. Ning Boyang and Hardy also followed me. The fortune teller noticed that we were following and walked very fast, but always in my eyes. Just like this, he walked across the street After a few turns in the alley, we followed him for three to five miles, gradually leaving the inner city and running to the outer city. We still couldn't keep up with him. If it comes to Qinggong, I can give it a try, but he The two of them followed me and I couldn't get up quickly.
Fortunately, the fortune teller was always in front, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was smooth for me to follow. Ning Boyang couldn't bear the physical strength. He looked around and said: "There is a river temple in front of us. It is a dead end. In this way, there are many roads nearby." Tianfu Yamen, I will go to Shuntianfu to report the news, you try to follow him! Remember, don’t get too close, we will take action again when reinforcements arrive.” After that, he turned and left.
Hardy's Qinggong was not very good. He was out of breath while running and even sprained his foot. I saw that the fortune teller seemed to be missing and I hurriedly said to Hardy: "Third brother, if you keep following like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up. You My ankle is sprained. Walk slowly. I'll go over and take a look first! Brother will bring people here in a while. Remember to take this road to find me." Hardy nodded and said: "Second brother, be more careful!"
I took a deep breath and walked forward quickly. After walking for about three or four miles, the road under my feet became more and more difficult to walk, almost turning into a narrow path. God knew there would be such a road in such a huge capital city. It must have been unmanaged on weekdays and gradually became deserted. . Looking from a distance, the Heshen Temple is even more dilapidated. Half of the gate tower has collapsed, and the main hall is in ruins. It stands alone by the river. It is quiet around, with the occasional bird chirping. There are weeds growing all around, and the breeze blows. It makes people feel cool. Although the surroundings were quiet and there were no people around, it was a bit strange, but I didn’t think too much and went straight into the River Temple.
Before I could stand firm, in the small courtyard in front of the temple, the fortune teller leaned against the wall of the courtyard, looking at me coldly, still holding the bamboo pole in his hand, "Everything in the world has its destiny. Young man Man, you are finally here." His words made me excited. Could it be that I had fallen into a trap? I looked around carefully, but there was no one there. Although I was frightened, I pretended to be calm and said, "Since you know I'm coming, you should go back to Jinyiwei with me! Kill for life!"
"Haha! Young man, you are too arrogant. Do you think I will be afraid of you? I have been waiting for you to come to me. Well, since you are not afraid of death, then I will help you!"
Then he raised the bamboo pole and said, "My name is Cao Jing, what's your name? I can burn some paper for you next year!"
I hesitated for a moment, thinking that I had been deceived by him. It seemed that I had fallen into the trap. A voice slowly said from behind: "Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? His name is Zhang Ying, and he is the new Jinyi Guards School Lieutenant!" The voice seemed familiar. Before I could turn around, a gust of cold wind hit me from behind. It rushed to my neck, I quickly lowered my head, twisted my body, and hid aside.
Silen! The person who came turned out to be Silun. He was holding a long sword and looking at me coldly. I opened my eyes wide, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Si Baihu, how could it be you?" "What if it's me? I can kill you too!" "You, aren't you a royal guard like me? ? I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?" I felt my voice was a little stiff, but I already understood in my heart that Liao Jianzhong said that maybe someone from Jin Yiwei killed Xiang Chong, and I had also thought about it. It was the Silun I met that day, but it was confirmed today that I couldn’t believe it. Silun looked at me and sighed: "Don't be surprised. I killed Xiang Chong because he, like you, saw Brother Cao assassinate Miss Hou Yefu. I killed you just to silence you! But, you His skills are much stronger than Xiang Chong's."
Xiang Chong was actually killed by Silun! I almost couldn't believe that brothers from the same family could not see each other without looking up, so there was some sense of kinship with each other. What's more, Xiang Chong's father also died because of Silun. I felt filled with righteous indignation and stared at him, saying: " Thank you for being able to do it! His father also died because of you!" Silun's expression changed, he looked up at the sky and said, "You know too much, which means you should go find Xiang Chong!" I can't wait to see him right away! I rushed forward, but they were just two people. It was rumored that Silun was a master of Jinyiwei. Can I deal with them with my little skills? I was thinking of a way to escape. Perhaps Ning Boyang's reinforcements would arrive.
Cao Jing chuckled and said, "Brother Si, you need to take action to kill him. I'll just deal with him." Silun shook his head and said, "Hurry up and do it. The people from Shuntian Mansion will be there soon." Come here. It's good that you lured him here, but unfortunately his companion is too cunning and has already gone to find helpers." It suddenly dawned on me that this Cao Jing wanted me to take the bait so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of me. My heart was confused for a moment. Silun looked at me and said, "You may be innocent, but I can't help it. If I don't kill you, I will die!" With that, he swung his sword and stabbed him. Cao Jing walked around to the door, guarding my retreat, smiled as he watched Si Lun take action, and said, "People say that Si Baihu is a master of swordsmanship. Today I am going to feast my eyes on you!"
To be honest, I was very scared. After all, I had never really fought with anyone. In the past, when my uncle taught me my skills, the so-called fighting was all point to point. Although I fought with that woman that day, it was only a few moves. While I was dodging, I pulled out the dagger from my boots. Silen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How long have you been with him? You actually know his tricks." Needless to say, he must be Liao Jianzhong. I With a thought in his heart, he said: "Since you know this, you should know that I can't come here alone!" Silun stopped and looked around nervously. I took the opportunity to go out, but a Cao Jing blocked the way and laughed. Said: "You're still a naughty kid, it's not that easy to run away!"
Silun saw through my thoughts and said with a sinister smile: "What kind of apprentice does a master teach? It's just that your master didn't tell you that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there are people beyond the mountains!" After saying that, he didn't allow me to speak anymore, and waved his sword. prick.
This Silun actually attacked me like a storm. I was so nervous that I was covered in sweat, but I didn't dare to neglect. I waved the dagger, moved left and right, and started fighting with him.
Silun's long sword circled around me like a silver snake. I could only parry. Although my grandfather's short sword was short, it was still effective in avoiding Silun's long sword. Before I knew it, we fought for more than thirty rounds. , Si Lun just wanted to kill him with a fatal blow, and the look on his face was extremely arrogant. After fighting for a few times, he was a little surprised. Later, his sword moves were a little slow.
Cao Jing kept watching, as if he didn't believe it, and said: "This kid has a few tricks up his sleeve. The dagger in his hand is pretty good. Si Baihu, hurry up and kill him!"
Silun was speechless, but his sword moves were faster than the others. Although I thought his moves were average and I resisted them, I gradually fell into a disadvantage. His swordsmanship was proficient and his strength was strong. I relied on the fear of a newborn calf not to be afraid of tigers. I had to compete with him for a while, but in the end I was really embarrassed.
Silun's attacks were getting faster and faster, and I had no choice but to dodge. Although I was out of breath, I was able to escape. Cao Jing said: "This guy is very slippery, and he has some skills!" His words suddenly reminded me of Si Sanren's swordsmanship. Maybe I can give it a try, I was thinking about this, trying to figure out how to make a move, but Silen suddenly showed me an opening. I attacked without even thinking about it. He kicked me down with a flying kick and threw the dagger away. Beside me, I fell to the ground, sighing in my heart: "It's over!"
