Longyan City is connected in all directions. Even if it is not a big city, the main streets are quite spacious. After all, there are many people in the world, and most of them are very angry. A slight quarrel may lead to a fight. If it is wider, it can be used as a small school ground. So as not to affect pedestrians crossing the road to earn a living.
It is said that the Imperial Avenue in the Divine Capital is eighteen miles long from end to end, and is thirty-three feet wide, which is equivalent to the length of a small town street. The seemingly crowded streets on weekdays suddenly become sparse, leaving a large passage in the middle for people to come and go. Officials paraded by in horse-drawn carriages, allowing the children of aristocratic families to compete in martial arts. It was a lively scene.
Of course, there are not many long streets that are too spacious even in Shendu. There are only three or four in other prefectures, cities and counties, such as Yuqiao Street in Yedu, which falls within the normal range.
The East Market is bustling, with cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, horses and other livestock being sold, occupying nearly half of the long street. Cui Hao, his friend Jiang Qing and others walked through the sewage water melted by the residual snow, walking through the East Market, choosing horses.
It really stinks. He covered his nose and said bitterly.
Jiang Qing chuckled: I told you to take one directly from my house, so you don’t have to suffer the filth in Dongcheng. You, Cui Twelve, are very interested. You have to come over and pick it yourself. Do you think everyone has the rumors in the world? The encounters of various chivalrous knights and chivalrous women, they can encounter a thousand-mile horse that no one has discovered in the horse market. It is precisely because they succeeded that there are rumors. Those who failed and were disappointed, I don’t know how many people
Have I never been to the horse market? When you come to this world, you have to see something. Cui Hao had the urge to turn around and leave, but because of the possible ridicule from his friends, he forcibly endured it.
After getting used to it, he felt that the intersection of various odors was not so unbearable. When he squeezed into a seat near the street, he felt much more comfortable.
Ah, it’s so refreshing
Only then did he have the leisure to look around.
This is a place where horses are sold. The horse dealers are quite good at raising every horse to be fat, strong, shiny and smooth. People couldn't help but nod secretly, but he occupied a small half of the street, so many passers-by had to go around.
The horse dealer wore a felt hat, and his chest was bare even in the winter. It was covered with black hair that was steaming, and he held a riding crop in his hand.
Not far behind him was a stall selling sugar water. The sweet aroma is tangy and neutralizes a lot of odor. The owner is a young woman in a plain white dress, with a sweet smile that attracts customers and attracts many people to stop and taste.
After visiting this place, it’s really nice to drink a bowl of sugar water to drive away the cold and stench. Jiang Qing looked at the owner of the sweet water stall with bright eyes, not knowing where he was.
Cui Hao smiled and said: If you set up a candy shop in this place, I'm afraid it will be full of stench, except for the peddlers and lackeys. Who has the patience to drink
Having said that, the business of the sugar water stall is very good. Maybe it is not only the sugar water that is sweet, but also the owner of the sugar water. She is like honey that attracts bees, making them work hard.
Maybe she could make a fortune by doing something else. Cui Hao sighed inexplicably.
Jiang Qing laughed: Cui Twelve’s words are right. You will definitely make a fortune if you become my concubine.
The words have not yet finished. Then he heard a voice like an old bird: Sirs, would you like to have a fortune telling? Sir, I see that your hall is dark, and there will be a bloody disaster today.
Jiang Qing glared over and saw an old man who was blind in one eye. He had a few rat whiskers on his chin, his face was withered, and his expression was solemn. He was holding a long bamboo pole with a sign with a straight iron mouth hanging on it.
If you tell me that this young master will suffer a bloody disaster, try to be careful and the other eye will also be blinded, Jiang Qing said fiercely.
The old fortune teller shuddered, turned around quickly, and started talking nonsense with other pedestrians.
Cui Hao suddenly said: That swordsman is very good.
Yes, follow his gaze. Jiang Qing looked over and saw a simple young man who was concentrating on choosing horses and holding an unsheathed sword tightly in his right hand.
His right hand was long and clean, but the feeling of holding the sword was extremely stable, as if he had gone through hundreds of battles and killed hundreds of people, and nothing had shaken his determination in wielding the sword.
Hey, Cui Twelve, I want to discuss with him. You have been banned for two years for no reason, and your reputation in the world is not good, Jiang Qing encouraged.
Cui Hao smiled and shook his head: If you fight in a place like this, it will be troublesome if you get covered in horse excrement and pig excrement.
Clatter, clatter, the sound of horse hooves squealing came from the street entrance. Cui Hao and others subconsciously looked back and saw a man in green robes riding a horse towards the neighborhood.
His facial features are ordinary, but if you look closely, they are full of charm. His face is tight and emotionless, as if he has something important to do and just wants to get on his way.
Cui Hao had seen too many similar rushers, so he backed away slightly to avoid being hit by a galloping horse.
The green-robed man's horse felt like it was drenched in water, white steam was steaming from his nostrils, and he was about to collapse. He reined in the horse, took out the banknotes, and shouted to the horse dealer:
Prepare your horse
He actually changed horses directly.
While the voice was still echoing, the young woman in white at the sugar water stall suddenly picked up the pot of boiling sugar water and poured it over the man in green robe.
The originally slightly golden sugar water gradually turned black the moment it was splashed, and the stench was unpleasant, as if thick ink had been spilled.
Assassin, she turned out to be an assassin. Cui Hao was extremely shocked. He had never noticed it before.
Still thinking about Jiang Qing's stomach churning after drinking the sugar water, she almost felt like vomiting.
The black air and sugary water turned into a curtain of rain all over the sky, penetrating everywhere and there seemed to be no way to resist it.
Cui Hao asked himself, he could only roll under the horse's belly and use the horse's cover to escape this disaster.
Immediately, the man in the green robe drew out the long knife from his waist with a clang. The knife was round, like the void in the sky, hiding a whirlpool and containing all things. Every bit of the black sugar water poured over was trapped, as if it had condensed and collapsed, turning into a water ball. It is no longer pervasive.
Cui Hao was just amazed at his good swordsmanship when he suddenly saw a bamboo pole coming out of the hole like a poisonous dragon. While the man in green robe was resisting the sugar water, he stabbed the side of his neck. It was as if he was the fortune-telling old man who was blinded in one eye. fortune telling old man
A chill rose in Jiang Qing's heart. He had never doubted the identity of the old fortune teller just now, thinking that he was a common fortune teller who cheated money.
In addition to the incident with the proprietress of the candy stall, if they were targeting me, I would have died at least twice.
Just when the old fortune-teller took action, the man with the sword who had picked the horse suddenly jumped out, rolled on the spot, and rolled under the man in green robe. He held the sword steadily in his right hand and stabbed straight up, trying to pass through the horse's body. Entering the man in green robe
This is the fatal blow
Killing game, complete killing game, Cui Hao only had this thought in his mind.
At this moment, the man in green robe dwarfed, avoiding his neck, and hit the bamboo pole with the side of his face. Then, completely contrary to common sense, without any preparation, he flew into the air, and then with a flick of the long knife, the black sword in his pocket was All the sugar water was thrown at the old fortune teller, all over him, and there was no splash around him.
Ah, the old fortune teller screamed and rolled on the spot, but after a while he straightened his legs. His whole body was covered with traces of corrosion, and fishy yellow water flowed across it.
After the lady proprietor of the sugar water stall poured out the sugar water, as if she had rehearsed it, she held two daggers in her hands and flew into the air with great force, pointing right at the eyebrows of the man in green robe.
But the green-robed man's body was heavy and he fell directly. He deviated an inch from before.
This inch is the difference between life and death.
He fell next to the horse, and with a flash of the sword, the young man and the horse fell limply while the sword was still piercing the horse's body, and blood flowed out in a big pool.
The proprietress of the candy stall was alone in the air, unable to change her posture, so she could only fall down as usual.
When no one can fly, the one who falls first will live and the one who falls last will die.
The sword flashed again, and the sweet face of the young woman in white was cut in two, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Cui Hao, Jiang Qing and others had long since lost their words and thoughts. In their self-reflection, they had died countless times in the face of this killing situation, but the man in green robe easily killed the three assassins.
The man in green robe ran directly to the nearest horse without any delay. He was about to leave the banknote and gallop away.
Suddenly, a dark and pure sword light lit up, revealing its murderous intent. It was so deep that it stabbed the green-robed man between his brows.
The person who took action was clearly a horse dealer with his bare chest and hair exposed.
He looks like a rough man, but he can use such sword skills
In a killing situation, when is the most deadly time
It was when I thought I had overcome the killing situation and retreated all the assassins.
Relaxed, happy, proud, defenseless
Seeing this sword, Cui Hao and others felt that they were already dead, because they all relaxed without exception.
A flash of sword light flashed, as fast as lightning flashing across. When the silvery white was still solidified in the pupils of Cui Hao and others, the horse dealer had already been hit by the knife and fell to the ground.
The second one arrives first, the faster one is than the faster one, which is as fast as this
The rumored Aurora Electric Sword Xiao Zhenhai is probably nothing more than this, Cui Hao thought in shock.
Bang, the horse dealer fell to the ground, and the man in green robe jumped onto a horse. The sound of rattling sounded again, and at the same time he shouted loudly:
This is the killer of Burenlou. Take it to claim the reward.
If you still want to kill Burenlou's gold medal killer and red-level assassin, then follow me quietly. As long as you have the strength, you can get enough wealth.
Da da da da, he disappeared into the street, his heroic words echoing in the distance, as if the assassination just now was just a dream.
However, passers-by who drank sugar water made loud vomiting sounds when they saw the terrible death state of the old fortune teller, which showed the truth.
Cui Hao took a deep breath and praised:
What a wonderful person. If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
