In the small courtyard in the south of the city, there were sparrows chirping on the wall, and the faint fragrance of flowers floated from a distance.
Zhao Qing closed "Selected Poems of the Tang Dynasty", his breath was flowing and his eyes were deep.
Not far away, Qi Fang had just finished a set of sword skills. He went back to the room and took a drink of water. He turned to look at Zhao Qing and asked with his eyes if he still needed her to continue practicing.
Zhao Qing shook his head and gave her a light look in return. His interest suddenly rose, he stood up and jumped into the open space. He patted the scabbard, exchanged swords, and began to dance lightly.
She moved one move after another, like clouds and flowing water, pouring out, turning into countless tiny bluish-white light spots under the spring morning light, falling diagonally and floating forward, forming a heavy rain of sword energy.
Suddenly, Zhao Qing hummed softly the verses of each move in Liancheng Sword Technique, and the clear voice was accompanied by the sound of strong wind.
Qi Fang could see clearly from the side that the sword move Zhao Qing used at this time was somewhat similar to Wan Zhenshan's sword technique and the "Lying Corpse Sword Technique". They also used one sentence to correspond to one move, but they had to be concise and clear. Much faster, cleverer, and more graceful.
When the sword rain first stopped and the sky cleared, a brilliant rainbow suddenly appeared, reflecting a halo of five colors.
"Looking at the pine and cypress road again, I saw five clouds flying." The brilliant five-color clouds flew away, and the sword light in the courtyard disappeared, leaving only the girl in blue shirt who was hit by the sword across the chest.
This is a sword technique that was just created by Zhao Qing and named "Five Elements Flowing Light". It is inspired by the combination of the five elements and five colors with the artistic conception of poetry and painting. Once a sword is released, it is attached to the five elements of Qi and the five dazzling colors, like clouds and rainbows. Defeat the enemy with one strike while the opponent is stunned.
This is naturally not a flashy move that only uses the light of the sword to bluff people: Wan Zhenshan is known as the unpredictable "Five Cloud Hand", but his false moves are far more effective than his actual moves; the one-word electric sword Ding Jian's sword moves are specialized It's dizzying but full of flaws.
The "Five Elements Streaming Light" created by Zhao Qing does not have these flaws and is closer to the "Flying Immortal" and "Peacock Feather". The ultimate beauty contains the ultimate death.
Moreover, in the future, new moves can be continuously integrated to derive more changes. In addition to being a killing move, it is also the general outline of her current swordsmanship, similar to the master move in Dugu's Nine Swords.
…
Sheathing the sword, Zhao Qing concentrated, then approached and reached out to shake Qi Fang, who looked confused.
"Ah, I was just now. Miss Zhao, your kung fu is the best I have ever seen. I don't know..." Qi Fang stopped speaking and looked over with some tangled expectancy.
"Do you want to learn this trick?" Zhao Qing asked.
"No. Well, my senior brother..." Qi Fang stopped mid-sentence.
Zhao Qing blinked and already understood what Qi Fang was thinking. She wanted to mention that she wanted to rescue Di Yun, but she felt that she had repeatedly asked her benefactor but had not reciprocated, so she couldn't directly State your request.
"...If my senior brother is rescued, we will do our best to repay you. Well, if you are short of money, I can give you my jewelry in exchange for money, and then go to work to make money for you. I can also try to raise money for you. Some flowers and plants are for sale, someone should come to buy them..."
Qi Fang's voice suddenly sounded, then became softer again. She sincerely wanted to repay her kindness and suddenly found that apart from her appearance, she really had no ability to make money.
"Don't think so much, I will help you. It is my wish to enforce justice and help the weak. Don't worry, your Senior Brother Di will be fine." Zhao Qing took the initiative to shake Qi Fang's hand. Warm and smooth to the touch.
Speaking of which, when I said that I had found Liancheng Treasure, not many people believed it completely? Qi Fang must have thought this way after seeing how embarrassed I was about not having money to buy a house, right?
But as long as there is doubt, that is enough.
The news that Ding Dian is in Jingzhou Prison will leak out in a while, and when the news spreads that I have obtained the "secret" left by Wan Zhenshan, the attractiveness of this city will be greatly increased.
"Just wait for another ten days and a half. The guards in the prison should be much stricter recently. After all, I took you with me, and the government will probably guess that we are going to rescue people."
Qi Fang nodded, indicating that he would listen to Zhao Qing in everything.
In fact, Zhao Qing had relatively comprehensive considerations regarding Di Yun.
For example, before, she did not stop Shen Cheng from going to the prison to inform Di Yun about Qi Fang's marriage today.
This is because if Di Yun did not hang himself, he would not be able to gain Ding Dian's trust, and would not be able to gain the friendship of the world's top master and be taught the Divine Light Technique.
In fact, if Di Yun had not been able to practice the magical skill of Shenzhao Kung, his pipa bone was pierced and his martial arts skills were completely lost and it was difficult to recover from his injuries, his situation after being released from prison would definitely be worse than before.
An honest and good man has suffered injustice and suffering for many years, and the devastation he has suffered can never be restored to the original state. This is really a tragedy among tragedies.
After that, Di Yun in the original work continued to go through many hardships, practiced the best martial arts in the world, and met Shui Sheng who was willing to believe in him;
But thinking about it, what he wanted more was to go back to the days when he was farming in the countryside, living simply with his junior sister, walking in the fields and singing folk songs to each other.
So Zhao Qing was prepared to wait until Ding Dian finished passing on the Divine Illumination Sutra before he took action to save people.
Ding Dian was extremely wary of strangers due to his past experiences, and would always suspect that others were here for the City-Linking Technique. If he suddenly rescued Di Yun, he would most likely not continue teaching it to Di Yun.
Teaching martial arts is a matter of affection. If you want to teach it, you can teach it. If you don't want to, you can't. Ding Dian has to look at the flowers on Ling Shuanghua's window every day. The possibility of leaving prison to teach Di Yun is not high.
In the original work, Ding Dian always had the ability to escape from prison and avenge Di Yun after he accomplished the Divine Light Gong, but he did not leave just to see this potted flower.
In addition, Ding Dian didn't have much affection for Qi Fang, and an honest person like Di Yun could easily be tricked into revealing secrets. He might suspect that this was a trap set up by Ling Tuisi or Qi Changfa.
But this is quite normal. In this world where there is almost no chivalry or justice, those who do not covet the city's treasures are the minority among the minority. Ling Tuisi's face is one of them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing's expression condensed slightly, and his thoughts jumped instantly.
But speaking of it, when Ling Tuisi learned about my words and the noise I made yesterday, he would probably become anxious and anxious, and maybe he would take some action.
Let Ling Shuanghua leave Ling Mansion early? But she probably didn't want to leave, and she still wanted to put flowers on the window sill for Ding Dian.
And now, after all, Ling Tuisi has not fully revealed his vicious heart, and still retains a little bit of father-daughter love. Who can imagine that he will do appalling evil deeds in the future.
…
In the north of Jingzhou City, the afternoon sun is shining. The clatter of horse hooves sounded from afar, and two fast horses galloped down the street.
On the horse in front sat a purple-faced man with a knife hanging from his waist and a curly beard. He was the same Ma Daming who was abandoned by Zhao Qing in Wanjia.
On each rider was a big man with an ugly face and a sinister expression, wearing a black mandarin jacket, following closely behind Ma Daming.
Not long after, the two saw a large courtyard in the distance and began to slow down.
I saw that the door of the courtyard was a vermilion red with copper nails as big as bowls on the door. There were two large stone lions at the door. There were two large lanterns outside the door. One said "Jingzhou Mansion Main Hall" and the other said " Ling Mansion".
"Brother Geng, I heard that the daughter of the prefect is seriously ill. He loves his daughter very much and offers a large reward. He wants to find famous doctors in the world to diagnose and treat him. You are a master that the magistrate values and you must know the inside story. I don't know about this. Is it true?"
Ma Daming took the lead rope, turned over and dismounted, and asked the rider casually.
"Master Ma is serious. I, 'Double Swordsman' Geng Tianba, have just joined the yamen not long ago, so how can I be respected by adults? However, I have also heard about Master Ling's daughter being sick and unable to see people, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. This happened in a day or two.”
The ugly-faced man patted the horse's back, dismounted and replied.
