In the rivers and lakes, there are many people who capsize in the gutter.
Facing Xu Zhuo who was in full condition, although I was annoyed in my heart, I didn't dare to neglect it at all.
The same move, Stone Whale Penetrating the Sea, was stabbed out by me. There was no intention, no energy, no blue gang, no sword light, just a plain sword. When Xu Zhuo saw me stabbing me, he laughed arrogantly. Without thinking, he turned his knife into a bayonet and planned to confront me head-on!
When I saw this posture, swords and stabbings? Haha, you want to decide the outcome with one sword strike!
I snorted coldly in my heart: OK, I will satisfy you.
So, the two of us rushed towards each other without hiding our clumsiness. Just when the tip of the sword and the tip of the knife were about to intersect, relying on years of fighting experience, my body suddenly tilted to the right, and the Chenjian forcibly changed from stabbing to horizontal, The body turned around, the blue light of the sword highlighted, and the giant whale made waves smoothly. However, this time there was no sword energy, but he directly concentrated all his brute force on the sword and swung it out with the power of a champion.
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward. I didn't make any adjustments except for the variation, but I saw that the sword blade swept across slightly at an instant, and went straight from the tip of Xu Zhuo's knife. The sharp force quickly separated the spine of the knife from the blade, and the handle of the knife instantly became two halves, and Xu Zhuo held it All five fingers of the sword were severed. My sword power did not stop, but it was still slashing upwards. Xu Zhuo's face was full of surprise, and Xu Zhuo's head left his body. He was completely dead!
"Bah! Old turtle! I don't know how high the world is!"
I cursed in a low voice. Due to the lack of energy and blood, I was depressed, and I spat out a mouthful of blood at will. I looked around, made sure there was no one around, and then climbed over the wall and walked away.
For some reason, I walked through the streets easily, pried open the window at the southwest corner, and entered Wangbei Building. The moment my toes touched the ground, the small lamp next to me went out.
I sighed secretly in my heart, "Wonderful Formation", and then smiled helplessly, I was exposed!
Now that my whereabouts have been exposed, there is no need to cover up. At this time, I was weak, weak, and uncertain. I was just like a lamb. I closed the window, simply dropped to a comfortable position, and picked up the already cold water on the table. , gurgled and drank.
After drinking the glass of water, I sat upright and began to concentrate on my thoughts. I heard the sound of going downstairs, but I ignored it. People came to my side and did not disturb me.
After a cup of tea, I calmed down a bit. I opened my eyes and faced the two people opposite me. They were Liu Quansheng and Xia Qing. From their smiling and silent expressions, I judged that I would definitely be able to see the sun tomorrow. !
"Liu Shaoqing and Xia Taichang, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How are you doing?"
I straightened my clothes and respectfully handed them over.
Liu Quansheng raised his hand in return and said with a warm smile, "Liu Shaoqing and Xia Taichang are dead. What is in front of you is just a restaurant owner and a worthless teacher."
Looking at the two people who were no longer young in front of me, I sighed in my heart, and a past incident quietly came to mind.
In AD 325, that is, fifteen years ago, the Emperor Liu Yan placed a recruitment notice, and my eldest brother Saibeili and I entered the Changshui Guards. However, at that time, the Emperor's Twelve Guards only had a few Changshui Guards and had not really been formed. Twelve Guards. A few days later, the "Three Heroes of Quzhou" headed by Liu Quansheng also came in response to the order. In the first few days when the three of them arrived, it was I who led the water guard who was responsible for secretly guarding His Majesty. In those days, His Majesty was in high spirits, as if he and Liu Quansheng had drank a lifetime of wine and talked for half a lifetime. They didn't sleep for three days. After the three of them left, His Majesty danced his sword in a circle excitedly and said to me in the darkness. Said, "Thousands of people working together can gain the power of a thousand people; if you gain three of them, it's like gaining the power of a thousand people. The king's power will be unified, and the prosperity of the world will be ours!"
The next day, the emperor appointed Liu Quansheng, the leader of the three heroes, to pay homage to Guanglu Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, with a salary of 1,500 shi, and a silver seal and green ribbon; One thousand two hundred stones, silver seal and green ribbon; the third youngest, Deng Yan, joined the Longxiang Guards and became a Longxiang captain, at the same level as me.
That someone who is new to the officialdom can soar into the sky and obtain such a ground-breaking official position shows that His Majesty loves and cherishes talents.
Later, the Tianyao case broke out and the capital was in chaos. The three of them returned to Huaxing County. I also came to Duyuan County, which is affiliated with Huaxing County. There was no contact between the two.
Today, in a foreign country and behind bars, when I meet these two people, all the past events are vividly in my mind. I vaguely remember that "Liu Nandan" in white clothes. On the day of his appointment, he stood in the front hall of Weiyang Palace with a drink, splashing ink, full of ambition, and said in a sentence, "The young man swept away the barbarians and commanded the wind and clouds." . The horn wakes you from dreams, and a ride will surely lead to ups and downs."
All the officials fell in love with it! His Majesty regards him as a prime minister of the country!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel ashamed. In front of him, I was like a candlelight competing with the sun and the moon!
"You..., who are you?"
I retracted the past and looked at Xia Qing who asked me the question, speaking sincerely, "I am Zhang Wen, formerly a captain in Changshui, specializing in guarding the emperor. Eleven years ago, under your majesty's secret order, he followed his eldest brother Saibeili into the rivers and lakes and established the He scolded the Tiger Gang and named himself Chen. Tonight, I was ordered to assassinate Liu Desheng. I rashly underestimated the enemy and suffered internal injuries. A few days ago, I passed by Wangbei Tower on the way down and saw that this place has a strict layout and many agencies. After asking around, I learned that it was run by two adults. Today The pursuers are behind me, so as a last resort, I hope you can lend a helping hand to save my life."
As we speak, Haishi has arrived.
There was movement outside the Lingyuan County Mansion. County Lieutenant Cao Zhi began to beat gongs and drums to disperse the people. The shouts became louder and louder and closer. It seemed that a large number of government soldiers were gradually approaching Wangbei Tower. This calmed my mind a little.
Liu Quansheng did not answer my request. He raised his eyebrows, slowly swung the wine gourd on the table with his left index finger, and asked softly, "Brother Zhang, when you came here, how many people stopped you?"
"There were many people who intercepted me, but there was only one person who fought against me. It was Xu Zhuo, the head coach of the Liu family." I answered in a straight-forward manner.
Liu Quansheng's eyes suddenly brightened, "That's right! My eldest brother Desheng is already cold and jealous, and with the help of Yang Guan, when we met at the gathering a few days ago, he became so jealous when he saw that my son was so smart that he already took action to kill him. Heart. This Xu Zhuo belongs to the second brother. This time Brother Zhang is performing a righteous act at night. The elder brother deliberately let Xu Zhuo confront you head-on. He must have taken the opportunity to remove the second brother's wings and blocked everything to lure you to Wangbei Tower. , and then framed me, it can be said that killing two birds with one stone. In addition to what everyone has seen, it seems that Brother Desheng is definitely going to pour this dirty water of 'hiring a murderer to kill his father' on me!"
"In that case, I won't bother you two!"
After hearing this, I felt extremely ashamed. I didn't want to harm others, so I picked up the sword on the table and stood up to leave.
"Brother Zhang, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
I saw Liu Quansheng's hand that was playing with the gourd stretched forward, and with a clever move, he clasped my wrist with two fingers. The fingers seemed as light as feathers, but in fact they were so strong and heavy that I couldn't break free at all.
While I was shocked, I was even more helpless. Are all the experts in this era so cheap? In one night, in one county, I actually met two literati who were above the realm of things. What the hell is this world like!
Liu Quansheng looked directly at me, and slowly left my wrist with his two fingers. With a deep sense of sincerity and truthfulness, he whispered, "Brother Zhang, take care of yourself as you come. The wind has risen. Only by going with the wind can you go far." ! Since you are here to ask for my protection, how can Quan Sheng let Brother Zhang go into danger again?"
After saying this, I burst into tears of gratitude. Xia Qing, who was standing aside, moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
This Liu Quansheng is also a man of resolute action. Before I could express my feelings, he quickly said to Xia Qing, "Old Xia, in this time of crisis, we must adopt a strategy of iron and blood, which requires strong men to cut off their wrists. My plan is to burn the north tower and open a tunnel." , how about you take your teacher, Yi'er, Yu'er, and Brother Zhang and leave quickly, let's save our lives first and then worry about it."
"No! Brother, let's do it now."
Xia Qing didn't hesitate at all, turned and left, as if he didn't own Wangbei Tower.
"Third brother, I know you are inside. Your eldest brother, I have been ordered by my father to capture the night-raiding assassin. The report from my subordinates is nearby. I hope that third brother will open the door so that I can search it and go through the motions! Brother, please let us know. Dad needs an explanation! Open the door quickly!"
I was just about to say some words of gratitude when a shout came from outside the door. Thinking of what Liu Quansheng had just said, I admired the romantic scholar in front of me even more. He really knew what would happen.
