The devil is coming

Chapter 179 The Second Sword of Qian Kingdom
The Bianhe River is a canal that was dug manually by the Qian Kingdom at a huge cost of manpower and material resources. Of course, it was nominally for the purpose of building a canal, but considering that the Qian Kingdom was under the most terrifying military pressure from the Yan Kingdom at that time, the purpose of digging this canal was , in fact, it is self-evident.
At the beginning of the excavation of this canal, it caused several embankment breaches and diversions, causing many disasters to the nearby people. However, over the years, this canal has become much more regulated, and it takes advantage of the geographical advantage of being adjacent to Shangjing City. , has also become a prosperous commercial and transportation hub.
There are tributaries of the Bian River that can go directly into Shangjing City. After the Shangjing Rebellion was put down, Mr. Ci Mian entered Shangjing City by boat. Both sides of the river were crowded with people from Shangjing City, and everyone was vying to see Shang Mian. The demeanor of my husband.
In Qian Kingdom, a roll call at Donghua Gate is the starting point of your glorious life, and being qualified to take an official ship to Beijing is the true pinnacle of your life.
After all, the time when Sima Xianggong was assassinated was a long time ago. In the minds of the people of Shangjing, the two closest times were five years ago. Sima Xianggong, who had been writing books at home, was summoned by the official's three imperial edicts and was allowed to take a boat to Shangjing. qualifications.
This legendary Sima Xianggong was born as a child prodigy at an early age. When he traveled to Chu State, he even killed a black snake in Daze. He left officialdom in his prime and wrote books peacefully.
Even later, there was a saying that was widely circulated, why didn't Sima Gong become like the common people?
Literati, officials, and common people crowded both sides of the river after entering the city, just to get a look at this great talent who ruled the world.
However, when Sima Xianggong came to Beijing again, he was about fifty years old after all. His complexion was very dark and he had a big belly. He looked more like Qiu Bahan than a scholar.
At this point, it is not very in line with the aesthetics of the people in Shangjing City.
You know, Shangjing City is the most prosperous city in the world today, the most prosperous city in the world!
The people here naturally have the highest vision.
What really caused the biggest stir was three years ago when Baili Jian, the sword god of the Qian Kingdom, was ordered by the officials to enter the capital as the prince's martial arts master.
Sword God, Sword Immortal, Swordsman,
A sword, a pot of wine, and a proud smile on the world.
Coupled with Baili Jian's age, although he is not young, he cannot be called old. On that day, when he entered the capital dressed in white and with a long sword on his waist, he completely detonated the atmosphere in the capital.
People in every era have the need to chase stars, and people will always unconsciously place some of their hopes on another person, imagining that one day they can live like him.
On that day, the official left the palace in person and went to the Yulong Bridge to personally welcome Baili Jian off the boat.
To this day, the scene on that day is still talked about by the people in Beijing.
……
"It's been three years, master. You can get on the boat from here and go all the way to the capital."
The little sword boy asked while holding the dried tea in his hand and putting it in his mouth.
In front of the sword boy sat an unshaven middle-aged man with long greasy hair, and he was actually wearing wooden clogs despite the cold weather.
At this time, a pot of rice wine was placed in front of the man, and he drank it carefully bit by bit.
It's not easy to live in the capital, and things in Beijing are expensive. Even the rice wine is twice as expensive as in the countryside.
This is not in Shangjing City, but at Laodukou.
"Go, go, cool down while you go. Master, I won't smell the heels of his Baili Sword while walking. He has already been on a boat, master, I don't care about him."
"Master, but I want to take a boat." The little sword boy said aggrievedly.
"What kind of boat are you taking? The river is frozen, how can you get on it?"
The man picked up the wine bottle and took another small sip.
When he put down the wine bottle, he glanced around. It stands to reason that in winter, especially when the Bianhe River freezes, the crossings on the Bianhe River will be quite deserted. However, due to the recent war in the north, the refugees fleeing from the war can be said to be... Wave after wave. In the past, even when boats came and went on weekdays, it would not have been so popular.
It is said that the Yan people had thought of attacking Xifengdu a few days ago, which was only seventy or eighty miles away from here, but they were repelled by the officers and soldiers.
For this reason, the officials also distributed money from internal funds to reward the three armies.
It's funny to think about it. Even the dogs and yanks were killed in front of the Bianhe River, and those Qiu Ba who were soldiers actually had the nerve to take the silver reward. Bah, the imperial court raised you bunch of losers for nothing.
You can't get drunk on rice wine, but the swordsman named Yuan, who is known as the second swordsman in the Qian Kingdom, doesn't have enough money to buy himself drunk, so he can only pretend to be drunk, which can be regarded as an indirect addiction. .
"Master, I'm not full." The little sword boy had already eaten all the dried tea that his master had brought to drink with the wine, but the half-grown man had eaten it up. There was nothing greasy about this little dried tea, how could he possibly fill it up? Full stomach?
"Eat, eat, and eat."
Yuan Zhenxing slapped the table unhappily, and then handed out nine coins.
"Boss, pay the bill!"
Then he stood up and walked out of the small wine shop, as if he had left a large silver nugget and said there was no need to look for it.
The little sword boy could only pouted, stood up, jumped off the bench, and followed his master forward.
On the little sword boy's back were three swords.
Along the way, the little sword boy persuaded his master several times to use him as a sword, in exchange for the master and apprentice having a few good meals, but the master refused.
The reason why the master refused was that no matter how hard he said it, he said, what kind of vision do the rich people in the countryside have?Selling his sword to them is like a secret investment.
However, the little sword boy knew the real reason. The master disliked the rich man from the countryside for being too picky and wanted to come to Beijing to sell the sword at a higher price.
"Master, I'm hungry!"
The little sword boy shouted again.
"You are reincarnated as a starving ghost!"
Yuan Zhenxing cursed.
He was actually hungry too, and he became even hungrier when his own sword boy shouted at him.
"Master, Ren Baili Sword can be the prince's master. Aren't you the second swordsman in the Qian Kingdom? Why can't you find a prince's heir apparent to be your master?"
In this way, we can also have enough to eat.
"Go, go, why should I have to teach the prince's crown prince if he can be the master of Baili Sword? How is your master any worse than his Baili Sword?"
"It's not bad." The little sword boy said against his will.
"What should I say? Master, I am also one of the five great swordsmen in the world, so I still have to have this card!"
The little sword boy knew that there were actually four great swordsmen in the world.
The reason why his master said the Five Great Swordsmen was because his master was extremely dissatisfied with the title of the Four Great Swordsmen.
I think back then, when the martial arts world first came up with this swordsman list, there was one Li Liangshen, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army, one was the Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom, and one was the Baili Sword of the Qian Kingdom.
His master thought that there was still one left, so he had to give it to him, right?
But who knew that because of the words of the Jin Sword Master, the sword maker who no one had ever seen actually use a sword would actually become the fourth one!
For this reason, his master was depressed and depressed for several years.
In fact, the little sword boy knew that even though the master and apprentice were in such misery now, his master's reputation back then was really not bad at all. The reason why he was not rated as one of the four great swordsmen was because of the people in the martial arts world. I like one for each of the four major countries. Since Qianguo has the Baili Sword, it is not suitable for a second one.
His master also didn't like the title of the second sword of the Qian Kingdom. The sword wielder has his own peak in his heart. Who wants to be the second sword?
What's even more embarrassing is that although he is obviously about the same age as Baili Jian, in terms of the popularity of the martial arts in the Qian Kingdom, his master has gradually begun to be placed in the same generation as those young swordsmen in recent years.
For example, the innocent heart of Chen Daxia, the Wuchuan Drunkard Sword, the Concubine Sword of Xiahang, etc.;
My master often laments that one generation in the world is really inferior to the other. Look at the nicknames given by these newcomers. They are really a bunch of stupid things.
Just when the hungry master and apprentice had just walked out of the ferry shop,
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves from the other side of the river!
It can be said that the people here have not experienced war in a hundred years. Even when Emperor Taizong failed in the Northern Expedition, the Yan people failed to reach here.
It’s just that recently, there have been news about the Yan people going south. I thought it was a bit unreal before, but as the West Wind Ferry not far from here was attacked by the Yan people the day before yesterday, everyone became alert.
You bastard, the Yan people are almost here!
The panic has actually been spreading and brewing. The waves of refugees have brought not only mouths crying for food, but also layers and layers of extremely heavy fear.
Finally, when someone curiously looked across the river and discovered the densely packed black-armored cavalry on the other side of the river, the string collapsed!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Yangou is here!"
The people and refugees near the ferry cried and screamed together and began to run away.
Originally, there was a Forbidden Army stationed here. The number was not large, only 5000 to [-] people, but they were transferred away before. At this time, this ferry can be said to be undefended.
The river is still frozen, wouldn't the Yan people come over with a single charge?
"master."
The little sword boy looked at his master.
Yuan Zhenxing blew a breath, very hard, but unfortunately he still couldn't blow the bangs on his forehead that had been frozen by oil and water.
"I heard that Baili Jian went to Yan State a while ago, but unfortunately nothing happened."
"Master, don't be impulsive." The little sword boy advised in a mature manner, "Hurry up and run with me!"
Yuan Zhenxing shook his head and said:
"You have been very unhappy following me. I know it, but I always feel that you don't have as easy a life as other people's sword boys."
"No! Master, don't blame me. I don't want to die, and I don't want to see you stupidly blocking Yan Ren. Now, hurry up and run away with him in your arms!"
Yuan Zhenxing thought about himself and said:
"Baili Jian went to Yan State and achieved nothing. Today, I have to do something. As long as I do it, it will prove that I am more powerful than Baili Jian."
"Master, there is something wrong with your brain."
Yuan Zhenxing stretched out his hand,
The little sword boy retreated,
"Master, you want to die, but I don't want to die! I'm still young and haven't tasted a woman's body yet!"
"That's all."
"Master, you went into the red tent a few days ago and used up the last bit of our expenses, leaving us hungry for so long!"
Yuan Zhenxing's face immediately turned red.
"Master, don't be stupid, let's escape."
"Be good, let's go for a walk with the master."
Yuan Zhenxing looked into his palm, and a sword carried on the sword boy's back immediately flew out and fell into his hand.
immediately,
Yuan Zhenxing began to walk towards the river bank.
The little sword boy followed him crying and yelling, constantly cursing, but never leaving.
Because a silk thread was tied to the little sword boy's ankle, and the other end of the silk thread was tied between Yuan Zhenxing's fingers.
"Master, you are a beast, you are not a human being!"
"Master, you are a thing that can kill a thousand swords!"
"Master, you bastard!"
"Master, I have to let you see with your own eyes what is the best sword in the Qian Kingdom!"
Yuan Zhenxing said minding his own business.
the other side,
The Yan people are already sending people to test the thickness of the ice.
Yuan Zhenxing stood on his toes,
For a time,
The whole person jumped up,
Fall into the river.
"Yuan Zhenxing, the swordsman of the Qian Kingdom, is here!"
.........
"It's a master."
Zheng Fan spoke to Liang Cheng beside him.
Liang Cheng nodded.
One leaf knows autumn,
It is impossible for the other party to dare to stand alone in front of a group of iron hooves without some confidence. In addition, the light kung fu just performed by the other party proves that the other party is not a fool at all.
The sloppy image also fits the personality of a master.
Zheng Fan reached out and patted his forehead helplessly. What was very embarrassing was that because the troops were divided along the way to solve the interception, the entire army was actually in a state of separation.
It was no coincidence that Zheng Fan's troops actually became the first troops of the Yan army to reach the Bianhe River.
Although follow-up troops are arriving continuously, it's already here. You're embarrassed to let others beat you and retreat, right?
Zheng Fan has never seen or heard of warriors in this world who are so powerful that they can move mountains and reclaim seas. However, he has witnessed with his own eyes that someone as powerful as a Shatuo Que Stone could die in the encirclement and suppression by cavalry.
But Zheng Fan was really worried that the other party was another Shatuo Queshi, and he would have to use the lives of his subordinates to kill him, which felt heartbreaking.
The sword in Yuan Zhenxing's hand pierced directly into the ice beneath his feet.
next moment,
The two swords on the back of the little sword boy on the shore also flew out and landed beside Yuan Zhenxing.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
three swords,
All pierced into the ice.
"rise!"
Yuan Zhenxing let out a low drink,
For a time,
The sword energy activates,
The ice beneath him began to crack rapidly and spread away,
"Click... Click... Click..."
Taking Yuan Zhenxing as the starting point, the ice layer hundreds of meters on both sides cracked directly, exposing the ice water inside.
Three swords break the ice,
Thousands of cavalry are blocking you!
Yuan Zhenxing's three swords were still suspended in front of him, and the sword energy continued to surround the three swords. Although his chest was a little breathless, his whole body seemed to be steaming, and the dirt on his body seemed to be due to this. It had been washed a lot, and it really had the smell of dust.
Across the river,
Fan Li looked blankly at the river in front of him that was torn open by the sword energy.
He reached out and touched the helmet on his head.
Road:
"How do we cross the river?"
Zheng Fan took his saber and knocked on Fan Li's iron skull.
Bad breath:
"Is he stupid or are you stupid? If you walk 200 meters further east, you can still cross the river?"
After saying that, Zheng Fan looked at the blind man next to him and said:
"Blind man, do you think all the swordsmen of the Qian Kingdom are mentally ill? Even though the entire river is frozen, they think we can't cross the river if the ice is broken for more than a hundred meters?"
The blind man nodded,
Even with his IQ,
It was also impossible to analyze the intention of this powerful swordsman from the Qian Kingdom in front of him.
This move is really confusing. Not only does it waste a lot of sword energy, but the effect it plays is almost negligible.
"My lord, maybe this is Jianghu."
"Jianghu?"
"Yes, because only Jianghu can cultivate so many powerful and cute... sand sculptures."
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan smiled and raised his hand,
Thousands of knights around, bows and arrows drawn,
He aimed at Yuan Zhenxing who was stepping on an ice floe on the river.
Yuan Zhenxing stood calmly, with three swords at his side. He was not afraid of the sword array.
today,
He wanted to stop the Yan people by the Bianhe River before going to the capital, so that the Qian army could have time to rush to help and arrange the place.
today,
He felt very dashing.
just,
Zheng Fan did not simply order to shoot him with arrows.
Instead, his eyes skipped Yuan Zhenxing and looked at the little sword boy who was kneeling on the other side and crying with a grimace on his face.
"Shoot him!"
All the knights under his command were stunned.
Also stunned was Yuan Zhenxing on the ice floe in the middle of the river.
The little sword boy was even dumbfounded.
"shoot!"
For a time,
The arrows whizzed out, heading straight for the little sword boy.
"Yangou, you beast!"
Yuan Zhenxing cursed loudly and did not bother to draw out the other two swords. He could only draw one sword from the sword array he had set up in time and leapt towards the shore.
At this moment, he was effectively free from all the defenses he had deployed previously.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!!!!"
The dense arrows were shot with extremely terrifying potential energy, and Yuan Zhenxing swept them away with a sword.
This scene made Zheng Fan a little speechless, and he secretly thought that he would either have to raise more soldiers and horses in the future, or he would have to find ways to make himself stronger and also make the demon kings stronger, otherwise such masters would really come. Take your life, if you are not careful, you will really overturn.
However, when manpower was limited, Yuan Zhenxing, who had rushed to return aid, had to protect the little sword boy behind him, and he lost the opportunity to move around and take a breath.
"puff!"
An arrow hit Yuan Zhenxing's arm, and Yuan Zhenxing staggered. Then, another arrow hit Yuan Zhenxing's left leg, and Yuan Zhenxing knelt down.
"Puff puff!"
Several more arrows hit Yuan Zhenxing, turning him into a hedgehog.
Finally, the arrows stopped falling, and the Yan people began to divide their troops to the east and west to prepare to cross the river.
Yuan Zhenxing looked at the little sword boy under him with some dejection, and said weakly:
"Why do I feel...I'm a bit stupid..."
The little sword boy hugged Yuan Zhenxing's waist and cried bitterly.
scolded:
"Master, I've told you before, there's really something wrong with your brain!"
Today, on the shore of this ferry,
The second sword of Qian Kingdom,
Graduate.

Thanks to Mo Ran Xingye for becoming the 77th leader of Molin.
After writing this chapter, I found that it seemed to have no effect. When he came out, he died again. It was inexplicable. But the problem is, when I went to bed last night, this guy appeared in my mind, and it seemed that I had a strong request to do it. Spending a chapter to die once... well, satisfy him.
