Chapter 506 The Sword Master leaves the city
Chapter 506 The Sword Master leaves the city (big chapter, please subscribe!)
"Sister, this expenditure needs special approval."
Yuexin placed a list in front of Siniang's desk.
Siniang was smearing the center of her eyebrows with wind oil essence. Her injuries had healed, and she thought she could start her plan to make a baby when the Lord came back;
It happened that the Lord came back with news of an attack on Chu. Now she, a big housekeeper, was busy and couldn't leave the ground.
She needs to take care of everything, every piece of it. Thousands of things are all passing by her eyes.
After all, it is our own business. Even if others don't have the ability to take charge of the overall situation, even if they do, they can't trust an outsider to give the foundation they have worked hard to accumulate for several years.
To be honest, Si Niang is a little envious of that bastard Xue San. He is still in Liang Kingdom and has not come back. Does he really want to be his general Tu Xingsun of Liang?
Also marry a Liang princess and return home in fine clothes?
After applying the wind oil essence, Siniang reached out and picked up the list.
On the list is a batch of specially made armors, leather armors, and short blades.
Nowadays, the foundry in Xuehaiguan is working day and night, hoping to equip the soldiers with more armor and create some sharper weapons before the war begins, and this batch of specially made smaller models of leather armor and Short blades are actually very troublesome to make, and can easily disrupt the progress and rhythm of the original foundry.
Yuexin explained from the side; "Sister, this is for Yizi Camp."
Yiziying, also known as Yiziying, has a tradition since Shengle City. If the war dead has no family members, the pension after his death will be handed over to the school to support an orphan to grow up.
This orphan will take his surname. You give me grace, and I will give you the incense.
In recent years, wars have continued in the Jin region, and the people have been displaced, leaving countless orphans. Moreover, since the order was established in Shengle City and then returned to Xuehaiguan, Yizi Camp has grown to nearly 800 people.
but……
Si Niang frowned slightly and said:
"They are all half-grown men."
Half-child refers to the person who is no longer a child but has not yet reached the stage of youth;
Siniang felt that it was a little early for them to go to the battlefield.
Yuexin said, "What my husband means is that they are the future of our Earl's Mansion. They should be allowed to see the world during this war."
The Yizi Camp can be said to be the purest reserve force. These children are all orphans and grew up with the support of the pensions of soldiers killed in battle and the Earl's Palace.
In their lives, there is no burden of family, only the purest loyalty.
Siniang knew that according to the blind man's aesthetics, Yizi Camp was his favorite place.
Since the blind man is so insistent, Si Niang has no reason to refuse. The demon kings themselves have a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding also includes the Lord, that is, you can play whatever you want as long as it does not affect the overall situation.
"Okay, I approve."
.........
The small courtyard next to the Earl's Palace.
The sword master was feeding the chickens, and the old hen, who was showing off his power with sonorous steps, walked over, lowered his head, pecked it, then raised his head, looked around, and then lowered his head and pecked it again.
This eating posture is exactly like that of a young lady from a noble family who has not yet left the palace.
And in the corner, there was a duck huddled there, melancholy visible to the naked eye.
Liu Dahu came back, saw the sword master, and shouted;
"father."
Liu Dahu is the stepson of Juggernaut, but he has never hesitated to call him "Dad".
The sword master was a little confused and said: "At this point, school hasn't ended yet, right?"
It is Liu Dahu's homework to go to the school every day.
The school in Xuehaiguan basically does not teach any moral articles. They learn to read and then learn arithmetic. When they reach a certain age, they can choose to join the army or enter a workshop.
After a short running-in period, you can get promoted quickly if you join the army, and you can quickly become a small boss if you enter a workshop.
No matter which road you take, family living standards are rapidly improving in Xueguan territory.
Of course, most of the children in the school choose to join the army. Firstly, they are influenced by their mountain chief, Hirano Bo. Secondly, after becoming a bidder, they are considered to be members of the Earl's Mansion. They don't know what " Political treatment", but they and their parents know that as long as they become a bidder, it is equivalent to eating the "imperial crop."
"Dad, let me tell you something."
Liu Dahu took the initiative to walk up to the Sword Master.
"Say."
The sword master found a bench, sat down, and listened carefully to his child talking to him.
The Sword Master has never received real family care since he was a child. He and his younger brother grew up dependent on each other. Later, he got a master and picked up the sword, and he was able to stand out.
Therefore, precisely because of his own shortcomings, he hopes that the next generation will not have regrets.
"Dad, there is registration for the school, and I also want to go to the battlefield with Yi Ziying and the others to fight Chu Nu."
The sword master was a little surprised and said: "You are still young."
"Dad, I'm not young anymore. No one can beat me when wrestling in the school! Even that wolf cub, if he doesn't cheat, he's not as strong as me."
Because of the Sword Master's request, Liu Dahu can eat well every day. As the saying goes, a half-grown man can eat him up, but in this family, Liu Dahu has meat almost every meal.
Living like this is a waste, but the Sword Master insists on doing this, and his wife and old woman are not in the mood to say anything, because they are only good to the children of the Liu family, so what are you embarrassed to say?
Every night, the Sword Master would take Liu Dahu to meditate together and teach him the method of breathing.
Liu Dahu didn't know that this was spiritual practice, but he liked getting along with his "dad", and he slept very soundly after meditating every night. Gradually, he became accustomed to and liked this process before falling asleep.
Therefore, Liu Dahu's physical fitness is very high among his peers.
The sword maid does not participate in wrestling,
If you don't use roundabout ways, wolf cub,
In the school building,
No one can hold him back.
"It's too dangerous to go to the battlefield." The sword master advised.
"Dad, I have to go. My husband said that if we lose this battle, our days of snow customs may come to an end, and Chu Nu may come to fight!"
Of course the sword master knew that this was the publicity effect of the Earl's Mansion.
From very early on, the Sword Master understood that Xuehuan's military and civilian propaganda deliberately demonized the barbarians and the Chu people, and its purpose was also very simple, which was to eliminate the contradiction between the Yan people and the Jin people.
Earlier, when the Sword Master and the Savage King were drinking, the Savage King said that this move must be used with great proficiency, because if there is no common enemy outside, internal fighting will begin next.
Therefore, in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of Snow Customs, savages will come back all the time. Even if their uncle Hirano can beat the shit out of the savages' brains every time he leaves the customs and enters the snowfield, they still feel that the savages are likely to invade again in the near future. Snow customs.
Even though the general of the Chu State was forced by the Marquis of Jingnan to huddle there and build a city, the soldiers and civilians of Xuehaiguan still felt that it would not be long before the Chu people came to the city.
But, how should I put it, the sword master is one of the few "civilians" who can know the inside story.
Moreover, on the way back from Yanjing, Zheng Fan personally told him the significance of this attack on Chu.
The Sword Master does not care about the significance of the victory over Chu. It is just that Yan is one step closer to unifying all Xia.
What the Sword Master cares about is that if the attack on Chu fails, the State of Yan will collapse. Then, the Chu people will inevitably enter the land of Jin, and then they will march to the customs in front of the snow.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this war against Chu cannot fail.
"You should still study now." The sword master still insisted on his opinion.
"Dad, I want to go into battle to kill Chu Nu." Liu Dahu insisted, "Besides, the school has allowed us to sign up, and a group of people will be selected to go to the front line with Yizi Camp. Since I think I can go, I should go."
"In a few years, I will allow you to go." The sword master retreated.
"Dad, but I have to go now, uncle needs me."
The sword master opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Dad, let me tell you first. I have already signed up myself. In a few days, you can help me talk to my mother and my mother. Anyway, by then the raw rice will be cooked into porridge."
"It's cooked rice."
"Yes."
"Must go?"
"Go."
"What if uncle doesn't let you go?"
"There are notices in the school building."
"If you study a few more years and grow stronger for two more years, you can kill more Chu slaves if you go into battle." Sword Master taught.
"No, I want to go. I can't wait any longer. Dad, I want to make my family a standard household, so that my father, mother and I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. When my son is older, I want to go out and give it a try.
This is my son’s home, Snow Customs, and my son’s home. We all know how chaotic it is outside, how many people don’t have food to eat, and how many people outside spend the winter as if they are going through hell.
Uncle has given us a stable life. We must stand with him to protect our lives and create our tomorrow! "
words,
Spoken very fluently.
The Sword Master knew that this was something that the teachers in the academy taught every day.
The sword master feels that this is like practicing swordsmanship. If you practice a set of swordsmanship for a long time, it will become a skill.
"Okay, dad agrees for you to go."
"Thank you dad."
Liu Dahu couldn't help but said: "Dad, I'm going to tell the wolf cub that I'm going to fight Chu with him, hahaha."
Watching the child go out happily.
The sword master stood up silently,
child,
Still too young.
It's not that he doesn't agree with his child joining the army, but he really feels that his child is still too young now.
The half-grown boys from Yizi Camp would run around the city every morning and evening. He had seen them many times. They were a group of children with evil spirits condensed on their bodies.
But every once in a while, they would take the initiative to help people in Xuehaiguan, either plowing the land, delivering goods, or repairing houses, because their team leader said that they were eating "hundred families' food" from Xueguan, so naturally I need to work to repay everyone.
This is a good group of kids.
The sword master shook his head,
Walking back into the room, he pulled out Long Yuan who was put back in his original position to hold the table legs.
Walking out of the house again, I glanced at the duck still huddled in the corner.
The sword master came outside the house,
turn around,
close the door.
Zheng Fan led his army to the snowy plains, but the Sword Master knew that there must be someone staying behind in the Earl's Mansion.
If he goes to speak, he will definitely be able to take down Dahu's name.
He stood at the door of the Earl's Mansion, but was in no hurry to enter.
It can be seen that,
He was hesitating,
finally,
The sword master did not enter the Earl's Mansion;
But holding his Long Yuan,
Walking south step by step,
Juggernaut,
Out of the snow customs.
……
Before the war started, the first ones to go were not only food and grass, but also spies.
Emperor Yan issued an edict in Yanjing City,
Shocked Yingdu;
immediately,
Dachu Fengchao's internal guards dispatched most of their forces and began to spy on the battle situation.
There are two important military towns located at Nanguan of Dachu Town.
One is Fengxin City, because the Marquis of Jingnan, now the King of Jingnan Tian Wujing, has always stood on the tower of this city with his handsome flag.
There is another one, which is Snow Customs.
First of all, the geographical location of Snow Customs is absolutely important. It not only defends against threats from the snowfield, but also serves as an extremely important restraining force in eastern Shanxi.
Secondly, everyone knew that Uncle Hiranye was a direct disciple of King Jingnan. When King Jingnan was preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of barbarians in Wangjiang, Uncle Hiranye led an army to surprise the rear and captured the Snow Customs;
When Prince Pingye was lurking in Chu to snatch the princess, King Jingnan led his army to suppress Zhennanguan;
Although Hirano Bo is far from comparable to King Jingnan in terms of size and status, the two can often work well together;
Therefore, Snow Customs has become the top priority of Fengchao internal security monitoring.
Of course, the previous penetration and surveillance have actually never stopped.
Not only the Phoenix Nest but also the Silver Armored Guards, and even the Secret Service would place nails here according to their custom.
However, Xue Customs, under the auspices of Xiazi and Xue San, has extremely strong counter-infiltration capabilities. There was even a Jin spy who was bribed by Fengchao and surrendered himself after listening to several meetings at Xue Customs. As a result, Fengchao was in trouble. Another spy from Xue Customs was also pulled out.
Now that the war is imminent, there is no need to infiltrate. The spies can be used as sentries and just keep an eye on the military movements of Xue Customs.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Two crossbow arrows were shot out and hit a running man. The man fell to the ground and howled.
Dai immediately shouted; "Pry open his teeth and don't let him take the poison!"
In the absence of Xue San, Dai Li was in charge of the little spy office in Xueguan. Dai Li was extremely grateful for this, but little did he know that he only took advantage of his name.
However, at this moment, two men in black holding short blades slid down from the tree behind Dai Li and others, one each, and killed Dai Li's two men on the spot.
"Come back with us, I will spare your life and you will still have glory and wealth."
A man in black spoke.
Dai Li spat on the ground, "Mom, you want to eat shit!"
This was Xue San's mantra, and Dai Li learned it.
The man in black is ready to take action;
These days, the sentry riders and spies of Snow Customs are fighting with them every day in the peripheral area of Snow Customs. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. However, Snow Customs is fighting at home after all, so the Phoenix Nest internal guards have suffered more casualties. big.
This man in particular was probably the head of the detective at Xue Customs. His skills were ordinary, but he was very skillful in setting traps, which resulted in them suffering several losses.
A man in black came at him with a blade, but was blocked by Dai Li. The two sides fought hard for a few times, but the other man in black disappeared.
Dai Li knew clearly that the other person must have circled behind him, but his skills were so ordinary that he couldn't care about his back.
At that moment, Dai Li also became fierce and waved the knife more fiercely, trying to get away from the man in black by sharing the fate with him. However, the other man obviously knew Dai Li's intention, so he immediately began to retreat.
"puff!"
This is the sound of a weapon penetrating flesh.
Dai Li's heart skipped a beat. Then, he lowered his head and found that there were no wounds on his body.
"Pfft!"
Behind Dai Li, the body of a man in black fell to the ground.
Dai Li quickly looked back and saw a sword-wielding man wearing an old robe appearing behind him.
Lao Dai doesn't know the Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut is like Schrödinger's cat to Snow Customs.
Many people know that the Sword Master may be at Snow Customs, but not many people know where he is. If outsiders want to confirm, they have to come and find out on their own.
Furthermore,
The sword master dressed in white is easy to identify;
Wearing the casual clothes worn when feeding chickens is not so easy to recognize.
This has been true for a long time, and not everyone is capable of identifying the user's identity from the sword's aura.
The sword master walked past Dai Li, walked towards the man in black, and asked at the same time:
"Want to live?"
Dai Li was the person brought out by Xue San after all. He immediately said: "Yes, there will be poison in his teeth!"
The sword master nodded,
The man in black turned around and tried to run away;
But where a person can't run as fast as a sword, Long Yuan roars out and directly stabs the opponent's calf, nailing him to the ground.
The sword master quickly stepped forward, and before the opponent could bite the poisonous shell, he struck the opponent's jaw with a strike of his sword, removing the opponent's jaw.
Dai Li immediately came over and took out the poison sac hidden in the opponent's teeth.
The sword master spoke;
"ask."
"Okay, don't worry, this is what I'm best at. By the way, um, are you the legendary one..."
The sword master glanced at Dai Li, and Dai Li immediately shuddered. He did not dare to say any more nonsense and began to interrogate the man in black.
There are many spies who look forward to death.
But in fact, there are not many spies who are good at treating death as if they are at home.
For anything, as long as one more qualification is added, the probability will be reduced a lot.
This is what Xue San said to Dai Li and the others. Although Dai Li failed to understand the meaning of limiting conditions and probability at first, he still felt that he understood it.
Coincidentally,
This man in black is a hero who regards death as his own;
Therefore, he told the information he knew in exchange for a happy death.
.........
In a small courtyard of a dilapidated deserted village,
A pretty woman dressed as a village woman was sitting at the edge of the well. She was holding a basket in her hand and was putting flower petals into her mouth to chew.
In front of him, there was a man kneeling. He had just finished reporting the situation and looked at the bare feet of the village woman in front of him. There was a hint of desire in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it forcefully.
The woman in front of me is so fascinating, but I dare not blaspheme her.
Because she is the head of Da Chu Xi Nian Village, Qin Yueyue.
Once upon a time, the most powerful fanzi yamen in the four great Eastern countries was the Silver Armored Guards of Daqian. They were not only powerful in internal surveillance, but also excellent in external infiltration.
Compared with the Silver Armored Guards, the secret agents of the Yan State and the Fengchao of Dachu will definitely pale in comparison;
The reason is very simple, that is, although the growth of the scholar-bureaucrat class in Daqian has led to the decline of the status of generals, to a certain extent, Daqian has maintained a "grand unification" in a relative sense;
The Zhong family once relied on the Western Army to control the southwest region, but it was still not considered a vassal town because the scholar-officials stared at them.
This also makes the Yinjiawei a unified yamen in Qian State, unlike the former Yan State and the current Chu State. One is because of the family clan, and the other is because of the fiefdom of the big nobles, which leads to the subordinates of the imperial court. The soil and water environment in which the emperor's secret service yamen grew and developed has always been very cramped.
Xi Nian Village, secretly, does have the background of Fengchao, but on the surface, it is actually a martial arts sect. On weekdays, it will also take on some martial arts jobs and enjoy greater autonomy.
But in the context of the national war, Xi Nianzhuang stood on the side of the court.
At the same time, there have been rumors from the outside world that there was an unknown relationship between Qin Yueyue and the regent. Because the Queen Mother did not agree, Qin Yueyue was not allowed to enter the palace.
Once, when the eldest prince was in trouble, he contacted Xi Nian Zhuang, and Xi Nian Zhuang agreed to help him. When the fourth princes sent troops to deal with the eldest prince, Xi Nian Zhuang backhandedly sold the eldest prince, resulting in all but four of the princes. The eldest prince, who was the most powerful other than the prince, did not perform well at all, and was directly captured by General Nian Yao at Huanglong and returned to the capital.
"Oh, that's strange. In the past few days, one team has been lost every day. It shouldn't be."
Qin Yueyue was thinking while eating flowers.
There are actually only a few people in a small team, but this time Xi Nian Zhuang was led by her personally, and they are all the elites in Zhuangzi, and there are many good players among them.
Although this is the home ground of the Yan people, and the Xuehaiguan army is there, if a large number of soldiers and horses are sent, those well-trained spies will definitely be able to detect it in advance and avoid it.
If it were a confrontation between a small group of spies, they should be able to advance and retreat freely.
It is unlikely that the whole team will be broken up with one break.
"Send an order to several other squads and ask them to retreat. Since we already know that Li Fusheng's group and the Jin camp soldiers have entered the snow customs, I think they must have been ordered by King Jingnan to clear the snowfield before the war. Savage’s.”
"Master, if the Yan people still dare to divide their troops to clear the snowfield at this time, does it mean that this time the Yan people..."
"Confused."
"Subordinate..."
"The Yan people did this not because they did not take the attack on Chu seriously, but because they wanted to temporarily erase all the hidden dangers so that they could focus on using their troops against our great Chu.
This time, the Yan people are spending a lot of money. You quickly pass this news back and say that the Yan people are really going to start a national war this time. "
"Yes, Master."
After this subordinate leaves,
Qin Yueyue sat by the wellhead for a while.
In the well, there was the body of a Yan messenger soldier. She just finished interrogating it last night.
In fact, she knew what her mission was to bring people into the Jin Dynasty this time. It was not their main job to inquire about the movements of various soldiers and horses. Of course, if there were any, it would be better. If they didn't, it would have no impact. .
Because unless the Yan people are really crazy, it is impossible to send troops from Mengshan Mountain. A small group of soldiers and horses can infiltrate, but if a large army passes there, not to mention the Yan people will have to be killed by the rugged and winding mountain roads of Mengshan Mountain. , As long as Da Chu chooses a partial army to guard the Mengshan exit, the Yan people will be unable to advance or retreat.
Moreover, it was there that the Qu family came forward to organize and keep an eye on everything to ensure that nothing went wrong. There were also troops on the front line of the Liang Kingdom. The Liang Kingdom could be immortal for the time being, but the Yan people could never think of playing the way they did in the first place. The old plan to open Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, no matter how superb the mobilization of troops and horses is, in the end, they will all have to settle in front of Zhennan Pass.
The two countries of Yan and Chu also knew this very well.
If Zhennang Pass is defended, the Chu Kingdom will have no worries. If Zhennang Pass is broken, the Chu Kingdom will become a Qian Kingdom. The Yinlang County of the Yan Kingdom will be ridden flat by the Yan people. Moreover, the Chu people do not have the three sides that have been running for hundreds of years. Can be relied upon.
Qin Yueyue remembered what she had said to him during the rebellion among the princes. She was willing to help him reduce the power of the Da Chu nobles to another level.
Because she knew what he wanted, especially after he learned that Yan Huangma was in power, he drank wine all night;
But in the end, he chose to have peace talks with the nobles and held a grand ceremony in exchange for rapid stability in the country. At the same time, Qu Tiannan, the Zhuguo, ordered the Qingluan Army to go north.
Thinking about it now, Qin Yueyue had to admit that he was right, he could always see further than others.
If Dachu failed to take Zhennanguan at that time, and when the Yan people defeated the barbarians and took Zhennanguan, Dachu's northern gate would be completely open to the Yan people.
The Chu infantry were unparalleled in the world, but the Yan people's cavalry came and went like the wind.
Thinking of him, a smile appeared on Qin Yueyue's face.
She had been cold all her life and loved to eat petals dyed red with human blood. But she smiled as brightly as a flower towards him.
Qin Yueyue left this small deserted village. Next, she was going to Yingdu. She was going to see with her own eyes how heavy the Yan State had spent on this attack on Chu.
She knew that Yingdu was Yan's logistical center for this war.
however,
Before she had gone far, a middle-aged man appeared in front of her. The man was wearing an old robe and holding a sword in his hand.
The man holds the sword like he is holding a fire stick. The image is too simple and dull.
But Qin Yueyue's eyes narrowed. She felt threatened, a threat from death.
After becoming the owner of Xi Nian Manor, she never felt this way again.
This feeling told her clearly,
She might die soon.
Qin Yueyue's eyes fell on the sword in the opponent's hand.
On the way to Yanjing, Uncle Zheng once rode in a carriage with the Sword Master. Uncle Zheng, who was always famous for his poetry but rarely composed poems, recited a poem for the Sword Master:
"Mochou has no confidants in the future, no one in the world does not know you!"
No one in the world knows you. This is indeed the best way to describe the sword master.
People who don't know him will know him with one strike of the sword.
As for a master of Qin Yueyue's level and a person of this status, she could guess his identity without waiting for the opponent to draw his sword.
Let yourself feel the clear threat of death,
with a sword,
And here;
If it’s not the legendary swordsman from Jin who was by Hirano’s side, then who is it?
In fact, Qin Yueyue is also a master. In the past, when the regent Jiangpan faced off against the fifth prince Xiong Tingshan, Qin Yueyue also stood up for the regent.
But although there are not as many masters in the world as the crucian carp crossing the river, among the four eastern countries, there are those standing in the court, swimming in the rivers and lakes, and hiding in the countryside. Counting them on your fingers will take a long time;
But there are really not many people who dare to face the Sword Master alone without trembling.
Although the Sword Master was defeated by Tian Wujing in the past, at that time the Yan army was pressing down on the border. How could a Sword Master save the world?
Under the snow customs, one person can kill enemy generals with thousands of horses. Such feats are amazing, but at the same time, people who are in the realm of true martial arts also have some taste of it;
That is:
That person may have peeked into the level above the peak of the third level.
Among thousands of troops, the so-called strong ones are nothing more than bigger ants. This is the consensus;
But now it was a path in the wilderness, with him standing at the front end and her at the back end.
Panic is true, but Qin Yueyue still covered her mouth and smiled:
"What's going on? The former Jin Land Sword Master is going to draw his sword on the little girl himself?"
For a moment, Qin Yueyue had a guess in her mind, that is, the three teams she had completely lost contact with could not be the one who took action, right?
he,
how come?
he,
how come?
Strong men like the Sword Master, even kings, should be treated with courtesy. For example, Baili Jian was the prince's martial arts master. When he entered the capital, Emperor Qian personally welcomed him on the White Jade Bridge.
As arrogant as he is, would he be willing to lower his body so low to do such a thing as a spy?
The sword master sighed,
Road:
"It's obviously my sword, and the sword is in my hand, but it's like anyone I meet can tell me how to use the sword."
When he appeared next to Zheng Fan,
People on the opposite side would exclaim or disdain: You, the Sword Master of Jin, are actually a lackey of the Yan people!
In the beginning,
The sword master will be a little traumatized,
slowly,
Too many times,
The sword master was a little annoyed.
I am neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and my sword was not taught by you. In the past, when I and my younger brother lived alone in the capital of Jin, they never ate half of the bowl of porridge you gave me;
But they waited until they had mastered swordsmanship, and then each of them "become a teacher" in front of him.
"I just think it's a bit unexpected. The Yan people invaded the land of the Three Jins, destroyed your Yu family, and moved the Imperial Ancestral Temple to Yanjing. And yet, you, the Sword Master, can still serve the Yan people."
The sword master shook his head and said:
"I am not a member of the court."
He never took advantage of the emperor's salary.
Furthermore,
You are in Prince Jin's Mansion in Yanjing City. I heard from Uncle Zheng that you are living a good life and the Queen Mother is taking good care of her.
Qin Yueyue grabbed a petal, put it into her mouth, and said while eating:
"What about the people of Jin? The people of Yan in these three Jin lands are regarded as superiors. You, the people of Jin, and the soldiers of Jin are all inferiors. Master Sword Master, can you tolerate such things?"
The sword master nodded and said:
"It's really intolerable."
Qin Yueyue frowned slightly.
The sword master said again:
"In that case, let's figure it out together. Under Yupan City, Qu Tiannan treats me Jin people as two-legged sheep for food. Can you bear this?"
One is an inferior person,
One is a two-legged sheep,
Which one is more serious?
The sword master raised his voice and said:
"800 years ago, there were barbarians in the west, savages in the north, and hundreds of tribes in the mountains and rivers in the east. They had different languages and races from our Xia. They invaded the border every year and robbed my people of Xia for food. They called them two-legged sheep.
Therefore, the emperor issued an order from the Great Xia Dynasty, and the three princes opened the border to drive out the barbarians.
You Chu people have been in the mountains and overland for a long time, and you may have already regarded yourself as barbarians. "
Qin Yueyue raised her eyebrows,
Road:
"Unexpectedly, Lord Sword Master's words are as sharp as your sword."
The sword master shook his head and said, "I didn't want to say this."
"Then why waste your breath?"
"Because you like to talk about it."
"Is it?"
"And I gradually discovered that speaking some truth before killing people can really make me feel much better."
The sword master drew out Long Yuan, his eyes slightly focused;
murderous intent,
Incredibly clear.
Finished talking,
Time to kill.
Qin Yueyue also made a decisive decision and threw the flower basket in her hand forward. In an instant, the fallen flowers were colorful, and at the same time, the poisonous powder in the petals began to fill the air.
If the Sword Master rushes over at this time, even if he does not inhale the poisonous powder, his body will definitely be corroded.
However,
The sword master struck with his sword, and the powerful sword energy directly shattered the petals in front of him. Dust returned to dust and dust returned to earth in just an instant.
But it was the skill of this sword that found an opening for Qin Yueyue, and she flew down without hesitation.
Yes,
She never thought about facing off against the Sword Master from the beginning. Although she was also a master of the third level, she was only entering the third level for the first time. And even if they were in the same realm, they had different cultivations, so the gap in actual combat was huge. .
not to mention,
What she faced was the swordsman who was the best at catching and killing among all the methods!
Her movements are very fast,
The Sword Master is not as fast as her, but the existence of the Sword Master lies in a sword.
This Long Yuan, forged by Da Chu's sword maker himself, has already galloped out and pointed directly at Qin Yueyue, the owner of Xi Nian Manor in Da Chu.
Qin Yueyue can gamble now,
I bet she can be faster than Long Yuan, so she can escape;
She might as well not gamble, then she would have to deal with it back, and once she dealt with it back, there would be no chance to distance herself.
finally,
Qin Yueyue looked back. She didn't choose to gamble. She was a woman, but she was the leader of a large sect who relied on her own skills and abilities.
The light flickered on his fingertips, forming seven membranes in front of him.
Long Yuan penetrated five layers in one breath, but finally stopped after penetrating the sixth layer.
however,
The Juggernaut had also caught up at this time.
"seal up!"
Lock the phoenix hand!
According to legend, the first Chu princes banned the fire phoenix using this technique, and finally took it for their own use.
This is a secret technique that is not taught by the Chu royal family, but Qin Yueyue knows it. If an outsider sees it, it must be ironclad proof that he has a close relationship with the regent!
Essence and blood flowed out from the tips of Qin Yueyue's ten fingers, and instantly turned into countless red threads, wrapping Long Yuan in them.
Then he pressed his palm down and slapped Long Yuan's sword, causing Long Yuan to sink into the ground.
First, he used Suo Feng's hand to seal off the Sword Master's Long Yuan. Just like Tian Wujing did when he fought with the Sword Master, he scattered all the Sword Master's swords, and finally forced the Sword Master to fight with him with sword energy and blood. Hard consumption.
next moment,
Facing the approaching Sword Master, Qin Yueyue advanced instead of retreating. Two daggers fell out of her sleeves. One was thrown directly at the Sword Master, and the other one was in hand, stabbing the sword diagonally from the other side. Holy.
Everything happens in a moment.
On one side is the owner of Da Chu Xi Nian Manor, and on the other is the Sword Master of Jin;
This is not a balanced contest;
But if nothing else goes wrong, it will definitely be an extremely exciting showdown. The ruthlessness and courage shown by the owner of Xi Nian Village in the past is indeed admirable.
however,
accident,
It often happens when it is least likely to happen, otherwise it would not be called an accident.
one game,
The duel that was supposed to be very exciting, and would be rumored to be lively and dramatic in the future, ended forcibly in a way that neither party could have imagined.
Qin Yueyue didn't expect,
It's the Sword Master,
Did not expect.
After banning Long Yuan underground,
Qin Yueyue had already pounced on the Sword Master.
However, at this moment, Long Yuan suddenly burst out from the ground and penetrated Qin Yueyue's body from behind.
The sword master just turned slightly to avoid the dagger that was thrown at him.
then,
Qin Yueyue was already frozen on the spot,
expression,
Somewhat startled.
After Long Yuan's sword energy entered the body, it quickly began to crazily destroy its vitality. She was not a warrior, and she did not have such a strong body. This kind of trauma was enough to kill her.
But she lowered her head in disbelief,
Looking at Long Yuan penetrating his body,
why,
Why is Suo Feng Shou useless to this sword?
The sword master stood there, facing Qin Yueyue's questioning gaze, and said:
"This is the sword he made."
This is a sword made by the sword maker of Da Chu;
There are many restrictions on this sword itself;
but,
No one knows,
Why would the sword maker leave a separate restriction on Long Yuan's body so that the Locking Phoenix Hand would be ineffective against it? It would be impossible to ban it at all.
As the core disciple of the Dugu family and one of the four great swordsmen, Sword of Chu, and then factoring in his relationship with the regent and the royal family;
The sword maker knows that locking the phoenix hand, or even being able to lock the phoenix hand, is not too surprising.
but why,
Will he target Suofeng Shou alone on Longyuan and leave this restriction?
He's not here right now, so he can't get an answer.
But the sword maker is a very demanding person, and he always has extremely high requirements for the swords he forges.
Furthermore, after the sword maker gave this sword to the sword master, the sword master also praised it and helped him to rank among the four great swordsmen even though he had never made a single move;
At that time, the Jin Kingdom was still there, and at that time, the sword maker could not have expected that the sword master's sword would stab the owner of Xi Nian Manor. To be precise, he did not think that Long Yuan would stab a person who would The person who locks the phoenix hand.
Therefore,
Maybe I know it’s useless and there’s no need.
But the sword maker, out of his own professional qualities,
It is better to add this prohibition.
then,
What should have been an extremely exciting showdown came to an end.
As far as Qin Yueyue was concerned, she hadn't really taken action or had a real confrontation with the sword master. She had just turned around and was about to fight, and it was over.
finally,
Qin Yueyue managed to raise her head,
Trembling voice:
"how did you find me………"
As the owner of Xi Nian Manor, Qin Yueyue's concealment skills are undoubtedly very strong. As for the Sword Master, he is a man in the world, but he is not down to earth in the world, and he is not a pure court eagle dog, but he, Still found myself.
Qin Yueyue knew that even if he was a senior colleague of his, for example, it was said that there was a dwarf in the Snow Customs who was the chief scout of Uncle Ping Ye, and his methods were very sharp, it would be extremely difficult for him to find her.
Rather,
Juggernaut,
Just a man came to the door.
"Because of the fragrance on your body." The sword master replied.
"fragrance?"
"My wife works in the workshop of Xuehaiguan, which is a perfume workshop. Every day, there will be a different floral fragrance, so every time I come back from work, I can smell the strong floral fragrance on her body, and she will also tell me What kind of flower scent is this to me? Over time, I have become very familiar with the scent of flowers. I found you by looking for your special floral scent."
.........
Uncle Zheng made a triumphant return,
A battle that should have been completely resolved in two days,
Uncle Zheng beat him hard for ten days.
following,
There are also a large number of savage slaves and vast herds of livestock.
"Brother Zheng, please keep the wounded here for me to take care of. I will lead the army back to Fengxin City to report back to the prince. After all, it has been delayed for so long, but I think, brother, these two sieges are very important. value!"
"Brother, we will meet again soon."
"Hahahaha, that's right, brother Zheng, can you also write a booklet and publish a book about the method of siege like your "Zheng Zi's Art of War"?"
"can."
"Okay, okay."
Li Fusheng laughed and led his guards out of the city first. He was anxious to go back and recover.
Uncle Zheng returned to his mansion and returned from the expedition. According to custom, he should enjoy the gentle countryside.
then,
He saw his fourth mother waiting for him in the house.
"Si Niang..."
Uncle Zheng immediately showed a smile on his face.
"My Lord, the Sword Master's family came to report that the Sword Master has been missing for many days."
"..." Zheng Fan.
The sword master is missing,
And he left without saying goodbye;
This incident was a big blow to Uncle Zheng. He was still thinking about how to trick the sword master into following him to the Zhennanguan front line.
The person who reported the crime was a member of the Juggernaut’s family.
But Zheng Fan knew clearly,
The Sword Master cannot be abducted or lost. If he wants to leave, he must leave on his own.
Therefore,
Was he tired of this ordinary life and felt tired of playing this game, so he left without saying goodbye?
Anyway,
After learning about the disappearance of the Juggernaut,
Uncle Zheng looked extremely disappointed.
He took a bath,
He was wearing a coat,
Sitting on the threshold of the hall.
The princess and Liu Ruqing came to see him. After all, when the husband returns from the war, the concubines and wives must come to comfort him.
But looking at Uncle Zheng sitting there alone,
Xiong Liqing and Liu Ruqing both stopped.
The princess was a little confused and said:
"My husband must have gone out to fight. Why does it look like he was beaten with a stick?"
Liu Ruqing suddenly thought of a possibility,
Road:
"Uncle, is it because Mr. Li Fusheng left today?"
.........
Sit till evening,
Uncle Zheng ate his dinner without any taste.
then,
Because there were a lot of mosquitoes outside at night, he sat inside the house and continued to feel lonely.
"Buzz!"
A figure appeared at the door.
"Squeak..."
Gate,
was pushed away.
Uncle Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.
come,
It was the Juggernaut.
"Pfft!"
The Sword Master placed a human head on the coffee table in front of Zheng Fan. The head was wrapped in cloth, but there was blood seeping out.
Uncle Zheng immediately showed a look of disgust on his face.
get up,
Road:
“It’s late at night, you showed me such a scary thing, do you want me to have nightmares tonight?
My courage has always been very small, but I can't bear to see such a terrifying thing. "
A count who rose to power by military merit,
A general who stepped on countless heads to achieve his current position of power,
To say such a thing;
Fortunately, the sword master has long been accustomed to this.
The sword master pointed at the head,
Road:
"I want you to promise me one thing."
"You look down on me, ten pieces!"
The sword master also placed Long Yuan on the coffee table.
Road:
"Promise me to let the children study for two more years; man, I will kill for you."
(End of this chapter)
"Sister, this expenditure needs special approval."
Yuexin placed a list in front of Siniang's desk.
Siniang was smearing the center of her eyebrows with wind oil essence. Her injuries had healed, and she thought she could start her plan to make a baby when the Lord came back;
It happened that the Lord came back with news of an attack on Chu. Now she, a big housekeeper, was busy and couldn't leave the ground.
She needs to take care of everything, every piece of it. Thousands of things are all passing by her eyes.
After all, it is our own business. Even if others don't have the ability to take charge of the overall situation, even if they do, they can't trust an outsider to give the foundation they have worked hard to accumulate for several years.
To be honest, Si Niang is a little envious of that bastard Xue San. He is still in Liang Kingdom and has not come back. Does he really want to be his general Tu Xingsun of Liang?
Also marry a Liang princess and return home in fine clothes?
After applying the wind oil essence, Siniang reached out and picked up the list.
On the list is a batch of specially made armors, leather armors, and short blades.
Nowadays, the foundry in Xuehaiguan is working day and night, hoping to equip the soldiers with more armor and create some sharper weapons before the war begins, and this batch of specially made smaller models of leather armor and Short blades are actually very troublesome to make, and can easily disrupt the progress and rhythm of the original foundry.
Yuexin explained from the side; "Sister, this is for Yizi Camp."
Yiziying, also known as Yiziying, has a tradition since Shengle City. If the war dead has no family members, the pension after his death will be handed over to the school to support an orphan to grow up.
This orphan will take his surname. You give me grace, and I will give you the incense.
In recent years, wars have continued in the Jin region, and the people have been displaced, leaving countless orphans. Moreover, since the order was established in Shengle City and then returned to Xuehaiguan, Yizi Camp has grown to nearly 800 people.
but……
Si Niang frowned slightly and said:
"They are all half-grown men."
Half-child refers to the person who is no longer a child but has not yet reached the stage of youth;
Siniang felt that it was a little early for them to go to the battlefield.
Yuexin said, "What my husband means is that they are the future of our Earl's Mansion. They should be allowed to see the world during this war."
The Yizi Camp can be said to be the purest reserve force. These children are all orphans and grew up with the support of the pensions of soldiers killed in battle and the Earl's Palace.
In their lives, there is no burden of family, only the purest loyalty.
Siniang knew that according to the blind man's aesthetics, Yizi Camp was his favorite place.
Since the blind man is so insistent, Si Niang has no reason to refuse. The demon kings themselves have a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding also includes the Lord, that is, you can play whatever you want as long as it does not affect the overall situation.
"Okay, I approve."
.........
The small courtyard next to the Earl's Palace.
The sword master was feeding the chickens, and the old hen, who was showing off his power with sonorous steps, walked over, lowered his head, pecked it, then raised his head, looked around, and then lowered his head and pecked it again.
This eating posture is exactly like that of a young lady from a noble family who has not yet left the palace.
And in the corner, there was a duck huddled there, melancholy visible to the naked eye.
Liu Dahu came back, saw the sword master, and shouted;
"father."
Liu Dahu is the stepson of Juggernaut, but he has never hesitated to call him "Dad".
The sword master was a little confused and said: "At this point, school hasn't ended yet, right?"
It is Liu Dahu's homework to go to the school every day.
The school in Xuehaiguan basically does not teach any moral articles. They learn to read and then learn arithmetic. When they reach a certain age, they can choose to join the army or enter a workshop.
After a short running-in period, you can get promoted quickly if you join the army, and you can quickly become a small boss if you enter a workshop.
No matter which road you take, family living standards are rapidly improving in Xueguan territory.
Of course, most of the children in the school choose to join the army. Firstly, they are influenced by their mountain chief, Hirano Bo. Secondly, after becoming a bidder, they are considered to be members of the Earl's Mansion. They don't know what " Political treatment", but they and their parents know that as long as they become a bidder, it is equivalent to eating the "imperial crop."
"Dad, let me tell you something."
Liu Dahu took the initiative to walk up to the Sword Master.
"Say."
The sword master found a bench, sat down, and listened carefully to his child talking to him.
The Sword Master has never received real family care since he was a child. He and his younger brother grew up dependent on each other. Later, he got a master and picked up the sword, and he was able to stand out.
Therefore, precisely because of his own shortcomings, he hopes that the next generation will not have regrets.
"Dad, there is registration for the school, and I also want to go to the battlefield with Yi Ziying and the others to fight Chu Nu."
The sword master was a little surprised and said: "You are still young."
"Dad, I'm not young anymore. No one can beat me when wrestling in the school! Even that wolf cub, if he doesn't cheat, he's not as strong as me."
Because of the Sword Master's request, Liu Dahu can eat well every day. As the saying goes, a half-grown man can eat him up, but in this family, Liu Dahu has meat almost every meal.
Living like this is a waste, but the Sword Master insists on doing this, and his wife and old woman are not in the mood to say anything, because they are only good to the children of the Liu family, so what are you embarrassed to say?
Every night, the Sword Master would take Liu Dahu to meditate together and teach him the method of breathing.
Liu Dahu didn't know that this was spiritual practice, but he liked getting along with his "dad", and he slept very soundly after meditating every night. Gradually, he became accustomed to and liked this process before falling asleep.
Therefore, Liu Dahu's physical fitness is very high among his peers.
The sword maid does not participate in wrestling,
If you don't use roundabout ways, wolf cub,
In the school building,
No one can hold him back.
"It's too dangerous to go to the battlefield." The sword master advised.
"Dad, I have to go. My husband said that if we lose this battle, our days of snow customs may come to an end, and Chu Nu may come to fight!"
Of course the sword master knew that this was the publicity effect of the Earl's Mansion.
From very early on, the Sword Master understood that Xuehuan's military and civilian propaganda deliberately demonized the barbarians and the Chu people, and its purpose was also very simple, which was to eliminate the contradiction between the Yan people and the Jin people.
Earlier, when the Sword Master and the Savage King were drinking, the Savage King said that this move must be used with great proficiency, because if there is no common enemy outside, internal fighting will begin next.
Therefore, in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of Snow Customs, savages will come back all the time. Even if their uncle Hirano can beat the shit out of the savages' brains every time he leaves the customs and enters the snowfield, they still feel that the savages are likely to invade again in the near future. Snow customs.
Even though the general of the Chu State was forced by the Marquis of Jingnan to huddle there and build a city, the soldiers and civilians of Xuehaiguan still felt that it would not be long before the Chu people came to the city.
But, how should I put it, the sword master is one of the few "civilians" who can know the inside story.
Moreover, on the way back from Yanjing, Zheng Fan personally told him the significance of this attack on Chu.
The Sword Master does not care about the significance of the victory over Chu. It is just that Yan is one step closer to unifying all Xia.
What the Sword Master cares about is that if the attack on Chu fails, the State of Yan will collapse. Then, the Chu people will inevitably enter the land of Jin, and then they will march to the customs in front of the snow.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this war against Chu cannot fail.
"You should still study now." The sword master still insisted on his opinion.
"Dad, I want to go into battle to kill Chu Nu." Liu Dahu insisted, "Besides, the school has allowed us to sign up, and a group of people will be selected to go to the front line with Yizi Camp. Since I think I can go, I should go."
"In a few years, I will allow you to go." The sword master retreated.
"Dad, but I have to go now, uncle needs me."
The sword master opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Dad, let me tell you first. I have already signed up myself. In a few days, you can help me talk to my mother and my mother. Anyway, by then the raw rice will be cooked into porridge."
"It's cooked rice."
"Yes."
"Must go?"
"Go."
"What if uncle doesn't let you go?"
"There are notices in the school building."
"If you study a few more years and grow stronger for two more years, you can kill more Chu slaves if you go into battle." Sword Master taught.
"No, I want to go. I can't wait any longer. Dad, I want to make my family a standard household, so that my father, mother and I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. When my son is older, I want to go out and give it a try.
This is my son’s home, Snow Customs, and my son’s home. We all know how chaotic it is outside, how many people don’t have food to eat, and how many people outside spend the winter as if they are going through hell.
Uncle has given us a stable life. We must stand with him to protect our lives and create our tomorrow! "
words,
Spoken very fluently.
The Sword Master knew that this was something that the teachers in the academy taught every day.
The sword master feels that this is like practicing swordsmanship. If you practice a set of swordsmanship for a long time, it will become a skill.
"Okay, dad agrees for you to go."
"Thank you dad."
Liu Dahu couldn't help but said: "Dad, I'm going to tell the wolf cub that I'm going to fight Chu with him, hahaha."
Watching the child go out happily.
The sword master stood up silently,
child,
Still too young.
It's not that he doesn't agree with his child joining the army, but he really feels that his child is still too young now.
The half-grown boys from Yizi Camp would run around the city every morning and evening. He had seen them many times. They were a group of children with evil spirits condensed on their bodies.
But every once in a while, they would take the initiative to help people in Xuehaiguan, either plowing the land, delivering goods, or repairing houses, because their team leader said that they were eating "hundred families' food" from Xueguan, so naturally I need to work to repay everyone.
This is a good group of kids.
The sword master shook his head,
Walking back into the room, he pulled out Long Yuan who was put back in his original position to hold the table legs.
Walking out of the house again, I glanced at the duck still huddled in the corner.
The sword master came outside the house,
turn around,
close the door.
Zheng Fan led his army to the snowy plains, but the Sword Master knew that there must be someone staying behind in the Earl's Mansion.
If he goes to speak, he will definitely be able to take down Dahu's name.
He stood at the door of the Earl's Mansion, but was in no hurry to enter.
It can be seen that,
He was hesitating,
finally,
The sword master did not enter the Earl's Mansion;
But holding his Long Yuan,
Walking south step by step,
Juggernaut,
Out of the snow customs.
……
Before the war started, the first ones to go were not only food and grass, but also spies.
Emperor Yan issued an edict in Yanjing City,
Shocked Yingdu;
immediately,
Dachu Fengchao's internal guards dispatched most of their forces and began to spy on the battle situation.
There are two important military towns located at Nanguan of Dachu Town.
One is Fengxin City, because the Marquis of Jingnan, now the King of Jingnan Tian Wujing, has always stood on the tower of this city with his handsome flag.
There is another one, which is Snow Customs.
First of all, the geographical location of Snow Customs is absolutely important. It not only defends against threats from the snowfield, but also serves as an extremely important restraining force in eastern Shanxi.
Secondly, everyone knew that Uncle Hiranye was a direct disciple of King Jingnan. When King Jingnan was preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of barbarians in Wangjiang, Uncle Hiranye led an army to surprise the rear and captured the Snow Customs;
When Prince Pingye was lurking in Chu to snatch the princess, King Jingnan led his army to suppress Zhennanguan;
Although Hirano Bo is far from comparable to King Jingnan in terms of size and status, the two can often work well together;
Therefore, Snow Customs has become the top priority of Fengchao internal security monitoring.
Of course, the previous penetration and surveillance have actually never stopped.
Not only the Phoenix Nest but also the Silver Armored Guards, and even the Secret Service would place nails here according to their custom.
However, Xue Customs, under the auspices of Xiazi and Xue San, has extremely strong counter-infiltration capabilities. There was even a Jin spy who was bribed by Fengchao and surrendered himself after listening to several meetings at Xue Customs. As a result, Fengchao was in trouble. Another spy from Xue Customs was also pulled out.
Now that the war is imminent, there is no need to infiltrate. The spies can be used as sentries and just keep an eye on the military movements of Xue Customs.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Two crossbow arrows were shot out and hit a running man. The man fell to the ground and howled.
Dai immediately shouted; "Pry open his teeth and don't let him take the poison!"
In the absence of Xue San, Dai Li was in charge of the little spy office in Xueguan. Dai Li was extremely grateful for this, but little did he know that he only took advantage of his name.
However, at this moment, two men in black holding short blades slid down from the tree behind Dai Li and others, one each, and killed Dai Li's two men on the spot.
"Come back with us, I will spare your life and you will still have glory and wealth."
A man in black spoke.
Dai Li spat on the ground, "Mom, you want to eat shit!"
This was Xue San's mantra, and Dai Li learned it.
The man in black is ready to take action;
These days, the sentry riders and spies of Snow Customs are fighting with them every day in the peripheral area of Snow Customs. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. However, Snow Customs is fighting at home after all, so the Phoenix Nest internal guards have suffered more casualties. big.
This man in particular was probably the head of the detective at Xue Customs. His skills were ordinary, but he was very skillful in setting traps, which resulted in them suffering several losses.
A man in black came at him with a blade, but was blocked by Dai Li. The two sides fought hard for a few times, but the other man in black disappeared.
Dai Li knew clearly that the other person must have circled behind him, but his skills were so ordinary that he couldn't care about his back.
At that moment, Dai Li also became fierce and waved the knife more fiercely, trying to get away from the man in black by sharing the fate with him. However, the other man obviously knew Dai Li's intention, so he immediately began to retreat.
"puff!"
This is the sound of a weapon penetrating flesh.
Dai Li's heart skipped a beat. Then, he lowered his head and found that there were no wounds on his body.
"Pfft!"
Behind Dai Li, the body of a man in black fell to the ground.
Dai Li quickly looked back and saw a sword-wielding man wearing an old robe appearing behind him.
Lao Dai doesn't know the Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut is like Schrödinger's cat to Snow Customs.
Many people know that the Sword Master may be at Snow Customs, but not many people know where he is. If outsiders want to confirm, they have to come and find out on their own.
Furthermore,
The sword master dressed in white is easy to identify;
Wearing the casual clothes worn when feeding chickens is not so easy to recognize.
This has been true for a long time, and not everyone is capable of identifying the user's identity from the sword's aura.
The sword master walked past Dai Li, walked towards the man in black, and asked at the same time:
"Want to live?"
Dai Li was the person brought out by Xue San after all. He immediately said: "Yes, there will be poison in his teeth!"
The sword master nodded,
The man in black turned around and tried to run away;
But where a person can't run as fast as a sword, Long Yuan roars out and directly stabs the opponent's calf, nailing him to the ground.
The sword master quickly stepped forward, and before the opponent could bite the poisonous shell, he struck the opponent's jaw with a strike of his sword, removing the opponent's jaw.
Dai Li immediately came over and took out the poison sac hidden in the opponent's teeth.
The sword master spoke;
"ask."
"Okay, don't worry, this is what I'm best at. By the way, um, are you the legendary one..."
The sword master glanced at Dai Li, and Dai Li immediately shuddered. He did not dare to say any more nonsense and began to interrogate the man in black.
There are many spies who look forward to death.
But in fact, there are not many spies who are good at treating death as if they are at home.
For anything, as long as one more qualification is added, the probability will be reduced a lot.
This is what Xue San said to Dai Li and the others. Although Dai Li failed to understand the meaning of limiting conditions and probability at first, he still felt that he understood it.
Coincidentally,
This man in black is a hero who regards death as his own;
Therefore, he told the information he knew in exchange for a happy death.
.........
In a small courtyard of a dilapidated deserted village,
A pretty woman dressed as a village woman was sitting at the edge of the well. She was holding a basket in her hand and was putting flower petals into her mouth to chew.
In front of him, there was a man kneeling. He had just finished reporting the situation and looked at the bare feet of the village woman in front of him. There was a hint of desire in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it forcefully.
The woman in front of me is so fascinating, but I dare not blaspheme her.
Because she is the head of Da Chu Xi Nian Village, Qin Yueyue.
Once upon a time, the most powerful fanzi yamen in the four great Eastern countries was the Silver Armored Guards of Daqian. They were not only powerful in internal surveillance, but also excellent in external infiltration.
Compared with the Silver Armored Guards, the secret agents of the Yan State and the Fengchao of Dachu will definitely pale in comparison;
The reason is very simple, that is, although the growth of the scholar-bureaucrat class in Daqian has led to the decline of the status of generals, to a certain extent, Daqian has maintained a "grand unification" in a relative sense;
The Zhong family once relied on the Western Army to control the southwest region, but it was still not considered a vassal town because the scholar-officials stared at them.
This also makes the Yinjiawei a unified yamen in Qian State, unlike the former Yan State and the current Chu State. One is because of the family clan, and the other is because of the fiefdom of the big nobles, which leads to the subordinates of the imperial court. The soil and water environment in which the emperor's secret service yamen grew and developed has always been very cramped.
Xi Nian Village, secretly, does have the background of Fengchao, but on the surface, it is actually a martial arts sect. On weekdays, it will also take on some martial arts jobs and enjoy greater autonomy.
But in the context of the national war, Xi Nianzhuang stood on the side of the court.
At the same time, there have been rumors from the outside world that there was an unknown relationship between Qin Yueyue and the regent. Because the Queen Mother did not agree, Qin Yueyue was not allowed to enter the palace.
Once, when the eldest prince was in trouble, he contacted Xi Nian Zhuang, and Xi Nian Zhuang agreed to help him. When the fourth princes sent troops to deal with the eldest prince, Xi Nian Zhuang backhandedly sold the eldest prince, resulting in all but four of the princes. The eldest prince, who was the most powerful other than the prince, did not perform well at all, and was directly captured by General Nian Yao at Huanglong and returned to the capital.
"Oh, that's strange. In the past few days, one team has been lost every day. It shouldn't be."
Qin Yueyue was thinking while eating flowers.
There are actually only a few people in a small team, but this time Xi Nian Zhuang was led by her personally, and they are all the elites in Zhuangzi, and there are many good players among them.
Although this is the home ground of the Yan people, and the Xuehaiguan army is there, if a large number of soldiers and horses are sent, those well-trained spies will definitely be able to detect it in advance and avoid it.
If it were a confrontation between a small group of spies, they should be able to advance and retreat freely.
It is unlikely that the whole team will be broken up with one break.
"Send an order to several other squads and ask them to retreat. Since we already know that Li Fusheng's group and the Jin camp soldiers have entered the snow customs, I think they must have been ordered by King Jingnan to clear the snowfield before the war. Savage’s.”
"Master, if the Yan people still dare to divide their troops to clear the snowfield at this time, does it mean that this time the Yan people..."
"Confused."
"Subordinate..."
"The Yan people did this not because they did not take the attack on Chu seriously, but because they wanted to temporarily erase all the hidden dangers so that they could focus on using their troops against our great Chu.
This time, the Yan people are spending a lot of money. You quickly pass this news back and say that the Yan people are really going to start a national war this time. "
"Yes, Master."
After this subordinate leaves,
Qin Yueyue sat by the wellhead for a while.
In the well, there was the body of a Yan messenger soldier. She just finished interrogating it last night.
In fact, she knew what her mission was to bring people into the Jin Dynasty this time. It was not their main job to inquire about the movements of various soldiers and horses. Of course, if there were any, it would be better. If they didn't, it would have no impact. .
Because unless the Yan people are really crazy, it is impossible to send troops from Mengshan Mountain. A small group of soldiers and horses can infiltrate, but if a large army passes there, not to mention the Yan people will have to be killed by the rugged and winding mountain roads of Mengshan Mountain. , As long as Da Chu chooses a partial army to guard the Mengshan exit, the Yan people will be unable to advance or retreat.
Moreover, it was there that the Qu family came forward to organize and keep an eye on everything to ensure that nothing went wrong. There were also troops on the front line of the Liang Kingdom. The Liang Kingdom could be immortal for the time being, but the Yan people could never think of playing the way they did in the first place. The old plan to open Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, no matter how superb the mobilization of troops and horses is, in the end, they will all have to settle in front of Zhennan Pass.
The two countries of Yan and Chu also knew this very well.
If Zhennang Pass is defended, the Chu Kingdom will have no worries. If Zhennang Pass is broken, the Chu Kingdom will become a Qian Kingdom. The Yinlang County of the Yan Kingdom will be ridden flat by the Yan people. Moreover, the Chu people do not have the three sides that have been running for hundreds of years. Can be relied upon.
Qin Yueyue remembered what she had said to him during the rebellion among the princes. She was willing to help him reduce the power of the Da Chu nobles to another level.
Because she knew what he wanted, especially after he learned that Yan Huangma was in power, he drank wine all night;
But in the end, he chose to have peace talks with the nobles and held a grand ceremony in exchange for rapid stability in the country. At the same time, Qu Tiannan, the Zhuguo, ordered the Qingluan Army to go north.
Thinking about it now, Qin Yueyue had to admit that he was right, he could always see further than others.
If Dachu failed to take Zhennanguan at that time, and when the Yan people defeated the barbarians and took Zhennanguan, Dachu's northern gate would be completely open to the Yan people.
The Chu infantry were unparalleled in the world, but the Yan people's cavalry came and went like the wind.
Thinking of him, a smile appeared on Qin Yueyue's face.
She had been cold all her life and loved to eat petals dyed red with human blood. But she smiled as brightly as a flower towards him.
Qin Yueyue left this small deserted village. Next, she was going to Yingdu. She was going to see with her own eyes how heavy the Yan State had spent on this attack on Chu.
She knew that Yingdu was Yan's logistical center for this war.
however,
Before she had gone far, a middle-aged man appeared in front of her. The man was wearing an old robe and holding a sword in his hand.
The man holds the sword like he is holding a fire stick. The image is too simple and dull.
But Qin Yueyue's eyes narrowed. She felt threatened, a threat from death.
After becoming the owner of Xi Nian Manor, she never felt this way again.
This feeling told her clearly,
She might die soon.
Qin Yueyue's eyes fell on the sword in the opponent's hand.
On the way to Yanjing, Uncle Zheng once rode in a carriage with the Sword Master. Uncle Zheng, who was always famous for his poetry but rarely composed poems, recited a poem for the Sword Master:
"Mochou has no confidants in the future, no one in the world does not know you!"
No one in the world knows you. This is indeed the best way to describe the sword master.
People who don't know him will know him with one strike of the sword.
As for a master of Qin Yueyue's level and a person of this status, she could guess his identity without waiting for the opponent to draw his sword.
Let yourself feel the clear threat of death,
with a sword,
And here;
If it’s not the legendary swordsman from Jin who was by Hirano’s side, then who is it?
In fact, Qin Yueyue is also a master. In the past, when the regent Jiangpan faced off against the fifth prince Xiong Tingshan, Qin Yueyue also stood up for the regent.
But although there are not as many masters in the world as the crucian carp crossing the river, among the four eastern countries, there are those standing in the court, swimming in the rivers and lakes, and hiding in the countryside. Counting them on your fingers will take a long time;
But there are really not many people who dare to face the Sword Master alone without trembling.
Although the Sword Master was defeated by Tian Wujing in the past, at that time the Yan army was pressing down on the border. How could a Sword Master save the world?
Under the snow customs, one person can kill enemy generals with thousands of horses. Such feats are amazing, but at the same time, people who are in the realm of true martial arts also have some taste of it;
That is:
That person may have peeked into the level above the peak of the third level.
Among thousands of troops, the so-called strong ones are nothing more than bigger ants. This is the consensus;
But now it was a path in the wilderness, with him standing at the front end and her at the back end.
Panic is true, but Qin Yueyue still covered her mouth and smiled:
"What's going on? The former Jin Land Sword Master is going to draw his sword on the little girl himself?"
For a moment, Qin Yueyue had a guess in her mind, that is, the three teams she had completely lost contact with could not be the one who took action, right?
he,
how come?
he,
how come?
Strong men like the Sword Master, even kings, should be treated with courtesy. For example, Baili Jian was the prince's martial arts master. When he entered the capital, Emperor Qian personally welcomed him on the White Jade Bridge.
As arrogant as he is, would he be willing to lower his body so low to do such a thing as a spy?
The sword master sighed,
Road:
"It's obviously my sword, and the sword is in my hand, but it's like anyone I meet can tell me how to use the sword."
When he appeared next to Zheng Fan,
People on the opposite side would exclaim or disdain: You, the Sword Master of Jin, are actually a lackey of the Yan people!
In the beginning,
The sword master will be a little traumatized,
slowly,
Too many times,
The sword master was a little annoyed.
I am neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and my sword was not taught by you. In the past, when I and my younger brother lived alone in the capital of Jin, they never ate half of the bowl of porridge you gave me;
But they waited until they had mastered swordsmanship, and then each of them "become a teacher" in front of him.
"I just think it's a bit unexpected. The Yan people invaded the land of the Three Jins, destroyed your Yu family, and moved the Imperial Ancestral Temple to Yanjing. And yet, you, the Sword Master, can still serve the Yan people."
The sword master shook his head and said:
"I am not a member of the court."
He never took advantage of the emperor's salary.
Furthermore,
You are in Prince Jin's Mansion in Yanjing City. I heard from Uncle Zheng that you are living a good life and the Queen Mother is taking good care of her.
Qin Yueyue grabbed a petal, put it into her mouth, and said while eating:
"What about the people of Jin? The people of Yan in these three Jin lands are regarded as superiors. You, the people of Jin, and the soldiers of Jin are all inferiors. Master Sword Master, can you tolerate such things?"
The sword master nodded and said:
"It's really intolerable."
Qin Yueyue frowned slightly.
The sword master said again:
"In that case, let's figure it out together. Under Yupan City, Qu Tiannan treats me Jin people as two-legged sheep for food. Can you bear this?"
One is an inferior person,
One is a two-legged sheep,
Which one is more serious?
The sword master raised his voice and said:
"800 years ago, there were barbarians in the west, savages in the north, and hundreds of tribes in the mountains and rivers in the east. They had different languages and races from our Xia. They invaded the border every year and robbed my people of Xia for food. They called them two-legged sheep.
Therefore, the emperor issued an order from the Great Xia Dynasty, and the three princes opened the border to drive out the barbarians.
You Chu people have been in the mountains and overland for a long time, and you may have already regarded yourself as barbarians. "
Qin Yueyue raised her eyebrows,
Road:
"Unexpectedly, Lord Sword Master's words are as sharp as your sword."
The sword master shook his head and said, "I didn't want to say this."
"Then why waste your breath?"
"Because you like to talk about it."
"Is it?"
"And I gradually discovered that speaking some truth before killing people can really make me feel much better."
The sword master drew out Long Yuan, his eyes slightly focused;
murderous intent,
Incredibly clear.
Finished talking,
Time to kill.
Qin Yueyue also made a decisive decision and threw the flower basket in her hand forward. In an instant, the fallen flowers were colorful, and at the same time, the poisonous powder in the petals began to fill the air.
If the Sword Master rushes over at this time, even if he does not inhale the poisonous powder, his body will definitely be corroded.
However,
The sword master struck with his sword, and the powerful sword energy directly shattered the petals in front of him. Dust returned to dust and dust returned to earth in just an instant.
But it was the skill of this sword that found an opening for Qin Yueyue, and she flew down without hesitation.
Yes,
She never thought about facing off against the Sword Master from the beginning. Although she was also a master of the third level, she was only entering the third level for the first time. And even if they were in the same realm, they had different cultivations, so the gap in actual combat was huge. .
not to mention,
What she faced was the swordsman who was the best at catching and killing among all the methods!
Her movements are very fast,
The Sword Master is not as fast as her, but the existence of the Sword Master lies in a sword.
This Long Yuan, forged by Da Chu's sword maker himself, has already galloped out and pointed directly at Qin Yueyue, the owner of Xi Nian Manor in Da Chu.
Qin Yueyue can gamble now,
I bet she can be faster than Long Yuan, so she can escape;
She might as well not gamble, then she would have to deal with it back, and once she dealt with it back, there would be no chance to distance herself.
finally,
Qin Yueyue looked back. She didn't choose to gamble. She was a woman, but she was the leader of a large sect who relied on her own skills and abilities.
The light flickered on his fingertips, forming seven membranes in front of him.
Long Yuan penetrated five layers in one breath, but finally stopped after penetrating the sixth layer.
however,
The Juggernaut had also caught up at this time.
"seal up!"
Lock the phoenix hand!
According to legend, the first Chu princes banned the fire phoenix using this technique, and finally took it for their own use.
This is a secret technique that is not taught by the Chu royal family, but Qin Yueyue knows it. If an outsider sees it, it must be ironclad proof that he has a close relationship with the regent!
Essence and blood flowed out from the tips of Qin Yueyue's ten fingers, and instantly turned into countless red threads, wrapping Long Yuan in them.
Then he pressed his palm down and slapped Long Yuan's sword, causing Long Yuan to sink into the ground.
First, he used Suo Feng's hand to seal off the Sword Master's Long Yuan. Just like Tian Wujing did when he fought with the Sword Master, he scattered all the Sword Master's swords, and finally forced the Sword Master to fight with him with sword energy and blood. Hard consumption.
next moment,
Facing the approaching Sword Master, Qin Yueyue advanced instead of retreating. Two daggers fell out of her sleeves. One was thrown directly at the Sword Master, and the other one was in hand, stabbing the sword diagonally from the other side. Holy.
Everything happens in a moment.
On one side is the owner of Da Chu Xi Nian Manor, and on the other is the Sword Master of Jin;
This is not a balanced contest;
But if nothing else goes wrong, it will definitely be an extremely exciting showdown. The ruthlessness and courage shown by the owner of Xi Nian Village in the past is indeed admirable.
however,
accident,
It often happens when it is least likely to happen, otherwise it would not be called an accident.
one game,
The duel that was supposed to be very exciting, and would be rumored to be lively and dramatic in the future, ended forcibly in a way that neither party could have imagined.
Qin Yueyue didn't expect,
It's the Sword Master,
Did not expect.
After banning Long Yuan underground,
Qin Yueyue had already pounced on the Sword Master.
However, at this moment, Long Yuan suddenly burst out from the ground and penetrated Qin Yueyue's body from behind.
The sword master just turned slightly to avoid the dagger that was thrown at him.
then,
Qin Yueyue was already frozen on the spot,
expression,
Somewhat startled.
After Long Yuan's sword energy entered the body, it quickly began to crazily destroy its vitality. She was not a warrior, and she did not have such a strong body. This kind of trauma was enough to kill her.
But she lowered her head in disbelief,
Looking at Long Yuan penetrating his body,
why,
Why is Suo Feng Shou useless to this sword?
The sword master stood there, facing Qin Yueyue's questioning gaze, and said:
"This is the sword he made."
This is a sword made by the sword maker of Da Chu;
There are many restrictions on this sword itself;
but,
No one knows,
Why would the sword maker leave a separate restriction on Long Yuan's body so that the Locking Phoenix Hand would be ineffective against it? It would be impossible to ban it at all.
As the core disciple of the Dugu family and one of the four great swordsmen, Sword of Chu, and then factoring in his relationship with the regent and the royal family;
The sword maker knows that locking the phoenix hand, or even being able to lock the phoenix hand, is not too surprising.
but why,
Will he target Suofeng Shou alone on Longyuan and leave this restriction?
He's not here right now, so he can't get an answer.
But the sword maker is a very demanding person, and he always has extremely high requirements for the swords he forges.
Furthermore, after the sword maker gave this sword to the sword master, the sword master also praised it and helped him to rank among the four great swordsmen even though he had never made a single move;
At that time, the Jin Kingdom was still there, and at that time, the sword maker could not have expected that the sword master's sword would stab the owner of Xi Nian Manor. To be precise, he did not think that Long Yuan would stab a person who would The person who locks the phoenix hand.
Therefore,
Maybe I know it’s useless and there’s no need.
But the sword maker, out of his own professional qualities,
It is better to add this prohibition.
then,
What should have been an extremely exciting showdown came to an end.
As far as Qin Yueyue was concerned, she hadn't really taken action or had a real confrontation with the sword master. She had just turned around and was about to fight, and it was over.
finally,
Qin Yueyue managed to raise her head,
Trembling voice:
"how did you find me………"
As the owner of Xi Nian Manor, Qin Yueyue's concealment skills are undoubtedly very strong. As for the Sword Master, he is a man in the world, but he is not down to earth in the world, and he is not a pure court eagle dog, but he, Still found myself.
Qin Yueyue knew that even if he was a senior colleague of his, for example, it was said that there was a dwarf in the Snow Customs who was the chief scout of Uncle Ping Ye, and his methods were very sharp, it would be extremely difficult for him to find her.
Rather,
Juggernaut,
Just a man came to the door.
"Because of the fragrance on your body." The sword master replied.
"fragrance?"
"My wife works in the workshop of Xuehaiguan, which is a perfume workshop. Every day, there will be a different floral fragrance, so every time I come back from work, I can smell the strong floral fragrance on her body, and she will also tell me What kind of flower scent is this to me? Over time, I have become very familiar with the scent of flowers. I found you by looking for your special floral scent."
.........
Uncle Zheng made a triumphant return,
A battle that should have been completely resolved in two days,
Uncle Zheng beat him hard for ten days.
following,
There are also a large number of savage slaves and vast herds of livestock.
"Brother Zheng, please keep the wounded here for me to take care of. I will lead the army back to Fengxin City to report back to the prince. After all, it has been delayed for so long, but I think, brother, these two sieges are very important. value!"
"Brother, we will meet again soon."
"Hahahaha, that's right, brother Zheng, can you also write a booklet and publish a book about the method of siege like your "Zheng Zi's Art of War"?"
"can."
"Okay, okay."
Li Fusheng laughed and led his guards out of the city first. He was anxious to go back and recover.
Uncle Zheng returned to his mansion and returned from the expedition. According to custom, he should enjoy the gentle countryside.
then,
He saw his fourth mother waiting for him in the house.
"Si Niang..."
Uncle Zheng immediately showed a smile on his face.
"My Lord, the Sword Master's family came to report that the Sword Master has been missing for many days."
"..." Zheng Fan.
The sword master is missing,
And he left without saying goodbye;
This incident was a big blow to Uncle Zheng. He was still thinking about how to trick the sword master into following him to the Zhennanguan front line.
The person who reported the crime was a member of the Juggernaut’s family.
But Zheng Fan knew clearly,
The Sword Master cannot be abducted or lost. If he wants to leave, he must leave on his own.
Therefore,
Was he tired of this ordinary life and felt tired of playing this game, so he left without saying goodbye?
Anyway,
After learning about the disappearance of the Juggernaut,
Uncle Zheng looked extremely disappointed.
He took a bath,
He was wearing a coat,
Sitting on the threshold of the hall.
The princess and Liu Ruqing came to see him. After all, when the husband returns from the war, the concubines and wives must come to comfort him.
But looking at Uncle Zheng sitting there alone,
Xiong Liqing and Liu Ruqing both stopped.
The princess was a little confused and said:
"My husband must have gone out to fight. Why does it look like he was beaten with a stick?"
Liu Ruqing suddenly thought of a possibility,
Road:
"Uncle, is it because Mr. Li Fusheng left today?"
.........
Sit till evening,
Uncle Zheng ate his dinner without any taste.
then,
Because there were a lot of mosquitoes outside at night, he sat inside the house and continued to feel lonely.
"Buzz!"
A figure appeared at the door.
"Squeak..."
Gate,
was pushed away.
Uncle Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.
come,
It was the Juggernaut.
"Pfft!"
The Sword Master placed a human head on the coffee table in front of Zheng Fan. The head was wrapped in cloth, but there was blood seeping out.
Uncle Zheng immediately showed a look of disgust on his face.
get up,
Road:
“It’s late at night, you showed me such a scary thing, do you want me to have nightmares tonight?
My courage has always been very small, but I can't bear to see such a terrifying thing. "
A count who rose to power by military merit,
A general who stepped on countless heads to achieve his current position of power,
To say such a thing;
Fortunately, the sword master has long been accustomed to this.
The sword master pointed at the head,
Road:
"I want you to promise me one thing."
"You look down on me, ten pieces!"
The sword master also placed Long Yuan on the coffee table.
Road:
"Promise me to let the children study for two more years; man, I will kill for you."
