What is a master
In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as your martial arts skills are high enough, you can be called a master. But this is obviously not the case. A true master must not only have a higher level of martial arts than ordinary martial artists, but more importantly, his character and mind must also be much stronger than others.
Helian Jinshi has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He has been practicing swordsmanship for twenty years and can indeed be considered a good player. However, he is still far away from being a real master because his experience, concentration and adaptability are still insufficient. There is something lacking.
Sun Tu had already tested his weakness with just one feint, so he would then force him to rush to attack in a targeted manner. This not only drained his sharpness and strength, but also made him unknowingly Let down your guard. Sun Tu, who has rich combat experience, also took various environmental factors into consideration during the battle. The attitudes and discussions of the people around him were enough to make Helian Jinshi restless, and the sunlight shining in the west became his key to defeating the enemy. , the best help to severely damage powerful enemies with one knife!
As a result, it was by relying on that reflection that Sun Tu created such a victory that amazed everyone. If he hadn't been afraid of the consequences, this knife could have easily killed Helian Jinshi. Of course, Helian Jinshi, who had his dominant right arm cut off with a knife, now looks more painful than death.
His face was already pale, his body was shaking like a dead leaf in the wind, and his eyes were filled with all kinds of strong emotions - anger, resentment, despair... Even at this moment, he couldn't believe that this was true. He was really defeated. He fell into Sun Tu's hands and was seriously injured. But the severe pain that kept coming from the right side of his body told him that all this was real and not a dream!
"Young Master..." After a long while, Helian's men woke up as if from a dream, and strode forward with exclaims. Everyone raised their weapons and aimed them at Sun Tu, who had returned his sword to its sheath. As long as As soon as their master gives the order, they will rush over without hesitation and chop the murderer who seriously injured the young master into pieces!
However, their actions aroused a burst of criticism from the people around them. It was clearly Helian Jin Shifei who forced Sun Tu to fight with him before, but now, once he is injured and defeated, these guys actually have to attack in groups again. This is really too much. Too shameless. Even though Sun Tu was from the Liao Dynasty, Helian's behavior was unacceptable to the Dangxiang people who were upright and respected the strong and heroic.
Contrary to their angry reactions, Sun Tu looked calm and calm at this time, looking back at them without fear: "I'm not afraid if you really want to take action, but I won't be merciful if I can't do it." , Don't blame me!" After saying this, his hand was pressed on the handle of the knife again, and a murderous aura broke out again, which actually frightened those guys into not daring to act rashly.
These people actually knew very well that they were far behind the young master, so how could they be Sun Tu's opponent who could defeat him with just a few moves? How pitiful it is for them to believe that there is a huge gap between their young master and Sun Tu, but they don't know that there are too many ingenuities and variables hidden in them.
"You guys step back..." Helian Jinshi finally spoke, but his voice continued to tremble, "It's already embarrassing that I'm not as good as others. If you continue to stalk me like this, I will only lose face to my Helian family. Let's leave it for today. Give up and pay back double the amount later!" As he said that, he stared coldly again
Sun Tu took one look, endured the pain, supported his weak body, turned around and walked back.
Those subordinates did not dare to hesitate any longer. After someone picked up Helian Jinshi's severed arm and sword, they followed him and left alone. At this time, the people around him were looking at all this with complicated eyes, but they didn't know how they should react. When a group of soldiers and horses came after hearing the news, everyone dispersed in a hurry, but Sun Tu, as the person involved, could not leave for the time being.
In fact, when Helian Jinshi found Sun Tu and the two sides confronted each other, the soldiers and horses in charge of the security of the West City had already learned the news. But after discovering that one of the guards was actually the prince's bodyguard, the men under the Inspection Department did not dare to act rashly. Unexpectedly, something like this happened over there during this hesitation, which made the leader of the inspection department panic. At this time, he could only show up and control Sun Tu first.
"A bold maniac, how dare you attack and hurt people with a knife in the capital city, and why don't you arrest him immediately!" With a loud shout, more than thirty soldiers surrounded Sun Tu and wanted to capture him on the spot.
Sun Tu glanced at the Helian family members who were leaving after Shi Shiran, with a sneer on his face. Naturally, it was impossible for him to ask the other party why they didn't take down Helian Jinshi and the others as well. No matter when and where, there would always be a privileged class. However, he was actually somewhat related to the privileged class. At this time, he had already announced his identity: "My name is Sun Qianli, and I am a subordinate of Xifengchang, the son of Xifeng family. Today, I am here to meet the Helian family." There are people who have misunderstood before taking action, I hope a few of you can understand clearly!"
"People from the Xifeng clan..." Sure enough, after hearing this name, the faces of the soldiers changed a little, and the leader looked at him in surprise: "You are Sun Qianli, the one outside Chengtian Temple Sun Qianli who was attacked?" As a middle-level officer in the Inspection Department, he naturally knew about the incident that led to Si Zheng's dismissal from office, as well as the terrible person who was rumored to be a god!
Sun Tu didn't know that he was now well-known in Xingzhou's official circles and among the people, so he nodded and said, "Exactly!"
This made the soldiers who surrounded him take a breath, and some even subconsciously stepped back a little. They had heard about Sun Qianli's terrifying record of killing dozens of cavalrymen with one enemy outside Chengtian Temple a few days ago. Ordinary soldiers like them did not dare to fight head-on with such a murderous god.
When things got to this point, the people in the Inspection Department really didn't know what to do. Although Sun Tu's status was not as good as that of Helian Jinshi, he was still a member of the Xi Feng clan after all. That was not someone they could offend, not to mention that he was so powerful, which made them even more afraid. In addition, they deliberately let Helian Jinshi and others go before. Once a lawsuit actually breaks out, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
But at this time, they felt ashamed of themselves. They couldn't just rush here and hear the identity of the other party, then stop pursuing them and let them leave, right? If this is the case, how can the Inspection Department retain its dignity? Why should we ask people to abide by the law in the future
Just when they were in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, a group of people came slowly and calmly from behind. After seeing Sun Tu being surrounded by people, they saw someone approaching him: "Sun Qianli, are you here again?" Is this causing trouble?"
Sun Tu raised his eyes and saw the King of Yue smiling but not smiling.
The ground looked at him on the horse, which made him only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty is joking..." In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he had indeed caused many things in the past few days, from killing the horse at the south gate to offending the prince, to Cheng Cheng. The battle outside the Tiansi Temple, and then getting involved with powerful officials like Mo Chihe... So it's not wrong for the King of Yue to tease him like this.
"I have seen the King of Yue!" When the officer of the Inspection Department saw the King of Yue, his heart was moved, and he took the initiative to tell the story of the battle that took place here without waiting for the other party to ask.
The King of Yue naturally knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and immediately smiled and said: "So, it seems that this is just a misunderstanding, and it is not Sun Qianli who intends to cause trouble here. In this case, I will let him go back with me, I will give you an explanation when the time comes, what do you think?"
The inspection department official who had already thrown this hot potato out was naturally happy to do so, and immediately agreed. Then, he quickly left.
Seeing them leaving in a hurry, Sun Tu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Not only were these officials in charge of public security difficult to do in the Song Dynasty, but the same was true in the Xia Kingdom! Seeing his silent look, the King of Yue smiled: "Sun Qianli, let's talk while walking. Why do you remember coming to the West Market alone?"
"I also want to experience the prosperity of Xingqing Mansion, so I came here for a while, and buy a good knife by the way. In the battle that day, my saber had curled up after too many cuts, and I can no longer use it." Sun Tu said He looked up and showed off the newly purchased steel knife in his hand.
"Hey, this sword has seen blood just after I got it. It is really very vicious. Just like you, Sun Qianli, it has only been a few months in our Xia Kingdom, and so many changes have already happened. You lost two sons, and now you have completely offended the Helian family..." At this point, the King of Yue couldn't help but clicked his tongue and sighed.
Sun Tu glanced at him thoughtfully. This sudden appearance today was no accident. I am afraid that among the people who followed him after he went out, there were also people sent by the King of Yue, otherwise he would not have appeared so timely. Moreover, it was almost dusk and the West Market was almost closed. How could he come here
Seemingly seeing through Sun Tu's thoughts, King Yue smiled again and said: "I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, I really wanted to talk to you today, so I asked someone to guard the gate in front of Xifeng Changmen early in the morning. . But you are so smart that you actually got rid of my people before they got close... "
"It's not easy for the prince to see me. He only needs to send a message and I will come to you on my own. Why do you need to come in person?" Sun Tu asked strangely.
"That's different. Since I want to use you well, I have to show my sincerity! In ancient times, there were stories about King Wen of Zhou looking for Jiang Taigong on the Weishui River, and Liu Xuande visiting the thatched cottage three times. Even if I can't compare with them, I can't let you Qianli feel too wronged. ah."
Even though Sun Tu actually had some vague suspicions, after hearing him clearly state his recruitment intentions, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "How can the prince think so highly of me? Sun Qianli is really flattered. . But I already belong to the Xifeng clan, and the young master has always been very good to me, so it is really impossible for me to betray him. Besides, I don’t think the prince will reuse a person who will betray the master at any time, right?"
