There are actually such masters in Liyang City? What's going on with this strange ice sword? Taking advantage of the cover of the new round of offensive, Du Fuwei hid in the chariot and successfully broke into the position 17 or 17 feet away from the city wall. He retracted his hands into his sleeves and grasped the two arm guards of Zuo Keqian and Right Kekun. , suddenly ejected towards a relatively weakly defended city head area.
He has been in the world for decades, and is as famous as the top masters of the four clans and others such as Zhai Rang, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Bo and others. He indeed has real talent and knowledge, and is not a person who has gained a false reputation; these two are called
"Qiankun", an arm guard made of the best material, ranks on the list of extraordinary achievements and unique arts, and its power is quite amazing. According to Du Fuwei's original prediction, even if the Sui army guard general from Liyang City came to parry, he would definitely be disappointed. Five together.
With the strong wind coming from Du Fuwei's sleeves, dozens of Sui soldiers guarding that section of the city wall flew out before he landed, their weapons broken, and they were about to let him successfully climb to the top of the city, using that The two jade-cutting armguards are killing people.
Then, in the next moment, Du Fuwei noticed the strange ice sword that suddenly appeared in front of him. From its floating posture and crystal-clear appearance, he felt a huge threat. He knew that if he did not change the path, he would have no choice but to send it up. Being pierced by a sword is a fate.
He made a decisive decision and suddenly ejected the two arm guards with all their strength. He turned around and tried to use the force of the counter-shock to retreat back to the nest car behind him. At the same time, his eyes flashed with a frightening cold light. He glanced around the city wall, trying to find the culprit who was blocking him.
However, something even more unexpected happened. At the moment when the pair of feet-long cold iron armguards collided with the edge of the ice sword, Du Fuwei found that his full-strength blow seemed to fall into the air, with nothing to do. If it is like a mud cow falling into the sea, it will quickly turn into nothing.
What saddened him the most was that there was no counterattack force. Even if he wanted to use his arm guard to change his moves, it would take a lot of effort.
The situation where he used the wrong force and had no real force to draw on made him unable to stop the slash with all his strength, and he continued to slash, twisting his body unnaturally.
However, the most terrifying thing didn't stop there. The strange aura that was invisible and could only be detected through one's own senses, quickly invaded the body in the very short time when the weapons of the two sides were connected, causing Du Fuwei's arms to tremble. He lost consciousness and could no longer exert any strength.
Seeing the ice sword suddenly circling, sucking and lifting the two arm guards, flying towards an area on the edge of the city wall where no one was defending or attacking for some reason, Du Fuwei shouted loudly, trying his best to lose control. Restore balance in mid-air with both arms extended; then,
With a loud "boom", his whole body hit the city wall below, which was still a few feet away from the city head. Bricks and stones flew across and quickly slid down. He relied on his toes to ease his fall and stopped. He was injured as a result.
But such a loud sound naturally attracted the attention of the Sui army at the top of the city. They recognized Du Fuwei's unusual figure, guessed the opponent's purpose of trying to use tyrannical martial arts to get to the top of the city, and took relevant precautions. , declared Du Fuwei's plan bankrupt.
Under this situation, Du Fuwei knew that many of his own troops had witnessed his embarrassing failure to climb the city, and the morale of the troops was difficult to boost. He could only think of another way to temporarily withdraw the troops and return to the camp. Otherwise, he would have limited influence on the troops. The strength of control, once a strong attack fails, can easily lead to chaos.
Capture the weapon that Du Fuwei became famous for
"The universe is in one's sleeves", deciphering the opponent's conspiracy against Liyang City was just a small matter that Zhao Qing did casually. He used an extremely thin ice sword as a carrier and gradually integrated the sword body into it to enhance the precision of its manipulation.
in the sword
When the "Hundred Days of Fetal Breathing" has not yet passed, without a suitable carrier, its pure power is actually quite limited. At best, it can only deal with two or three characters such as Zuo Youxian and Pichen, and cannot be inserted into the great master. on the battlefield.
Of course, Zhao Qing used the flying sword to easily drive back Du Fuwei, which was just a small test. The real master who wanted to use it to fight would naturally have to be far outside the city and beat Du Fuwei by more than a few points. After understanding After reaching Sword Dao Jingyi, he has half surpassed Ning Daoqi.
"Heavenly Sword" Song Que. Speaking of which, Song Que not only vaguely sensed that she was currently in the city, but also learned from Song Shidao's experience that she had the idea of pacifying the troubled times, and guessed that Zhao Qing would not let Du Fuwei, who was not well-known, use special means to take advantage of her. It went down to Liyang, causing street fighting, looting and killing in the city.
Although he only spoke a few words, it was as if he was witnessing the future with his own eyes, and the prediction was quite accurate. This shows that Song Que's vision has reached an otherworldly level, and he has initially grasped Zhao Qing's inner thoughts even though he has never met him.
However, what really allowed him to make successful predictions was actually the fact that their personalities were quite similar. They both had extremely high levels of martial arts and spirituality, and they both had the ideal of rebuilding a peaceful and prosperous age.
For this reason, Zhao Qing also knew that Song Que had actually understood her intention to unite with the Song clan, and was close to agreeing with it. However, he still needed to meet formally to test each other and confirm that they could agree on the differences between Han and Yi. Only if a consensus is reached can a cooperation agreement be reached.
Putting down the captured
After "The Universe in His Sleeves", the slender ice sword that seemed as thin as a cicada's wings flew up again, quickly breaking through the heavy air, crossing the vast night, and shooting towards the direction of Song Que and his party.
...And in the woods more than ten miles away, Song Que walked slowly to a tree stump tied to a horse, glanced at Song Shidao lightly, and asked: "We, the Song clan, strictly prohibit intermarriage with foreigners, but with The Li Liao people in Lingnan have very good relations with all ethnic groups. Do you know the reason for this, Shi Dao?" Whether it is the Qiang, Yao, Miao and Yi ethnic groups in the Bashu area, or the Wuwu Liao, Xiyuan Man and Huangdong people in the Lingnan area. In their minds, Song Que was the Han Chinese who was the most kind to ethnic minorities. He would never cheat them half a penny when making deals, and he cared even more for the many disadvantaged ethnic groups in Lingnan.
But on the contrary, the Song clan has always had regulations prohibiting intermarriage with foreigners and adhered to Han unification, which is very different from the Yuwen clan, the Dugu clan, who are originally Hu people, and the Li clan who are mixed with Hu people's blood, and have few taboos about this.
The Guanlong nobles like the Li family have always been actively marrying the nobles who invaded during the Xianbei and Northern and Southern Dynasties in order to expand their political and military strength; while the noble families in the south like the Song family have married to protect themselves, not to wear crowns, in order to maintain their bloodline and Cultural purity.
In the north, intermarriage between Hu and Han was common. picture
The clans with the "Lu" surname, such as Yuan, Changsun, Yuwen, etc., are all very active in politics and military affairs. Therefore, it is inevitable for the north and the south to be suspicious of each other.
Song Que slowly spoke: "I don't dislike foreigners per se. What I dislike is the Hu people's predatory and cruel style. I know that as long as they maintain such cultural customs, they will repeatedly cause great harm to us Han people in the Central Plains." , leading to endless war disasters."
"Once you let go of intermarriage with foreigners, you will easily lose your guard against them. Even if the relationship is very good at first, a little negligence will lead to the result of attracting wolves into the house. For example, the Li clan in the north has many conflicts with the tribes outside the Great Wall. A close relationship will lead to disaster sooner or later.”
"Therefore, we must strictly adhere to the distinction between Han and barbarians, otherwise the tribes outside the Great Wall will invade the Central Plains one after another, and there will never be peace in the Central Plains. As a result, we, the Han Dynasty, will lose the cultural centripetal force that we rely on to maintain unity, and the world will be trapped in the flames of war of division for a long time. among.”
"Teacher, that girl Zhao Qing told you that Fu Junma will be reincarnated after death and is expected to become one of our Han people. If you can indeed find her and remain vigilant against foreigners, Why should I object?"
"Actually, seeing your nervous attitude, the thing I'm most concerned about is actually why there is such a big gap between you and me, father and son? Am I usually too inhumane, which makes you fearful? meaning?"
"Alas! Back then, I was recognized as the successor of the next generation of the Song clan, but because I was just an unknown person in the world, every time I acted, I was blocked by my uncles and fathers, until I defeated the man who was known as the best swordsman in the world. Only then did Ba Dao Yueshan ascend to the position of leader and begin to rectify Lingnan."
"Shidao, if you notice something inappropriate about the current Song clan, you don't need to have the idea of getting away. You can tell me directly. With past personal experience, I can completely understand your mood." Song Shidao stared deeply. Song Que, with a determined look on his face, replied in a deep voice: "To be honest, I have felt boring and disgusted with the restrictive lifestyle at home many years ago."
"Three years ago, Yuhua was married by your father to Xie Wenlong, the son of the 'Martial Arts Judge' Xie Hui. Could it be her own mood and thoughts? What does such an act have to do with the marriage between the Li clan and the Xianbei Hu tribe? Essentially different?"
"The Song Dynasty clan is located in the remote south of Lingnan. It has more than enough room to cede territory and dominate. However, if it relies on its own power and the southerners are intolerant of the bitter cold in the north, it will be beyond reach. The struggle for the world has always centered on Luoyang and the Yellow River Basin. The battlefield is a place where our Song family’s power is difficult to reach.”
"Although the search for Jun Wu's reincarnation requires the help of our own forces, in order to pursue freedom and lift the shackles, I would rather do it alone. For this reason, participating in the fight for the world will not involve any drag. To the people of Lingnan." After spitting out the words that had been hidden in his heart for several years, Song Shidao actually had a relieved smile on his face. He glanced at the shocked Song Lu beside him, smiled slightly and said: "You won't believe it even if you say it. . After I really made up my mind, I have never been as happy as at this moment in so many years. I feel that the world is once again full of vitality and fun, and life can be so lovely and moving." Staring at Song Shidao, who was rebellious in the eyes of ordinary people, Song Que did not He showed a half-angry look, but also smiled, and sighed: "Shidao, what you hate is not actually the rules of the Song family, but the foundation of the existence of the aristocracy, and even the hierarchical system that has been passed down for thousands of years. Itself. If you want to break the most stubborn rules in the world, it is definitely not something that Song Que and Song Clan can do alone. They need to change the minds of everyone in the world."
"If everyone in the Duzunbao Jie family has thoughts like yours, the marriage will naturally not happen, and it may not even be necessary at all."
"Unfortunately, not all difficulties in the world can be overcome. To change other people's ideas is probably more difficult than reaching the sky. As I said before, except for the lost 'One' and 'Tao', There is never any real perfection." From the perspective of governing the country, Confucian ritual and music are the most advanced kings' power, and their core is to distinguish between superior and inferior.
Strictly hold on to one's status so that there is no excess between superiority and inferiority, honor and inferiority, and superiority and inferiority. Through the form of law, rituals and music fixed the country's hierarchy not only politically but also culturally and morally, deterring people's hearts and achieving the fundamental purpose of consolidating the country and imperial power.
What Song Shidao was disgusted with was the feudal patriarchal system derived from the hierarchical system of superiority and inferiority. He opposed the patriarchal system of the head of the family.
"Absolute authority", e.g.
"Parents' orders cannot be violated",
Rules such as "If the king allows his ministers to die, they will have to die; if the father allows his son to die, the son will have to die." If the Jie family proposes a marriage, but the Song clan does not agree, then Xie Hui will only think that Song Que does not value their relationship with the Jie family, instead of thinking about the possibility that Song Que respects his daughter's ideas, which will lead to suspicion and conflict.
Even with Song Que's great wisdom, he could not think of any solution or possibility for such a contradiction. As he said, he could only try his best to put the shortcomings aside and realize other beautiful things in life with his heart, so that Life is easier to live.
At this point, the father and son were silent for a while as if they had a tacit understanding, and then Song Que changed the topic: "Speaking of it, from an ordinary person's point of view, 'there is nothing except the knife', although it is a The pinnacle of cultivation in the path of swordsmanship is also a kind of cruel torture."
"Shidao, back then I realized that you didn't have the perseverance to abandon everything and specialize in one discipline. The reason why you didn't pass down the sword skills was not because of neglecting you, but because of another kind of emotion towards you. I wanted you to make the decision on your own. The decision to practice swordsmanship.”
"Today you finally made this brave move to leave everything behind. I am actually more pleased than ever. I know that you will eventually take the steps to achieve the 'Heavenly Sword' like I did back then."
"After I challenge Miss Zhao Qing, no matter what decision you want to make, I will respect your personal opinion and won't interfere too much." As soon as he finished speaking, he casually cut off the tie on the tree stump next to him. Holding the reins, he jumped onto the horse beside the tree. After taking one last look in the direction of Song Shidao, Li Jing and Song Lu, he slowly accelerated towards the direction of Liyang City.
Song Que looked more energetic than before. Sitting on the horse, he was even more majestic and calm, with an air of ease and ease that Li Jing beside him could have sworn he had never seen in anyone else.
He was wearing a plain white cloak that was blowing in the wind, giving him a majestic appearance that looked down upon the world. A red cloth band is tied on the forehead, and the two ends of the band hang down to the shoulder blades. The face is extremely handsome and full of scholarly style, with a hint of affectionate and gentle joy. The world-famous Heavenly Sword is hung on the back, with the handle slanted from the right shoulder. Stretching out, the elegance of riding a horse is like a god coming to the world.
