The second string was snapped with a finger, and the tense string jumped up. A tiny groove of blood slid out of her white palm, dripping on the burnt-tailed guqin, and as the blood fell, the heavy rain also came crashing down.
Xu Fengnian, who was no more than ten steps away from her, stretched out his arms, and the trembling Chunlei that had been inserted into the wall was about to come out of its sheath. Only when Chunlei was out of the sheath an inch, Xu Fengnian lost the momentum to pull the dagger, and instead was slightly bent by the middle finger of the blind luthier, Chunlei bounced back into the sheath, completely penetrating into the wall. Xu Fengnian, whose sea of air exploded, was shrouded in scarlet mist. When he landed, he stuffed the Golden Elixir of Two Zens presented by Monk Nagarjuna into his mouth. With a little tiptoe, he staggered forward, waving his sleeves, and nine flying swords They rushed out together, the female luthier snorted coldly, hooked a string with the thumb and index finger of her left hand, and lifted it up, and the nine flying swords were instantly twisted and twisted by more than ten silver wires, making lightning, flint and chirping sounds. Her right hand was abnormally picked out with her left finger. Xu Fengnian seemed to be hit by a heavy object in the abdomen, like a tree stump hitting a door. The whole body flew backwards and fell on the bluestone slab.
At such a critical moment, a man in black climbed over the wall like a civet cat looking for food in the night, with a simple knife in his hand, he came to Xu Fengnian's side in the blink of an eye, and slashed down on the head quickly.
This knife cut was cut, very soft, of course, it could not cut off Xu Fengnian's head, because Xu Fengnian put his hands on the ground, his body was bent, and he spun into a big circle against the cold stone slab. The shot shot out, piercing the head through the eye socket, and the assassin who hadn't played for a long time died on the spot.
Killing and being killed are never just a snap of the fingers.
Before Xu Fengnian's body fell to the ground, the wall of the alley burst open, and the second burly man in black was even more trouble-free, directly breaking through the wall and slashing his waist!
Xu Fengnian didn't need to touch the ground with his hands and feet, and turned his body to the side. The ax was full of energy, and after falling through the air, it cracked a whole bluestone slab. After Xu Fengnian stood up, his shoulders leaned against the black-clothed assassin. Let this strong man with astonishing physical strength regain his energy, Xu Fengnian stretched out a palm and stuck it on the assassin's temple, stepping forward alternately with small wrong steps, taking the opportunity to quickly accumulate chaotic and surging big yellow courts, and push out in one go, The momentum between him and the assassin ebbed and flowed, and the strong man who was holding a hatchet pushed his head against the wall, smashed his head into the mud wall, and blasted a big hole. How could Xu Fengnian give him room to fight back, punching every inch of his left hand It happened to hit the assassin's waist, holding the head with his right hand, and slashed across the wall, forcefully wiping out a shocking pool of blood. After letting go, the assassin's entire face was bloody and bloody and seeped into the yellow mud, and he was already a dead man.
Xu Fengnian killed two people in a row, but only for a short period of six or seven breaths.
This time it was really exhausted, the blind female luthier hooked a string with her finger, and then broke a string, Xu Fengnian would definitely die.
She just touched the strings with her fingertips, her expression changed slightly, and the strings were broken as if they were picking strings. The burnt-tailed guqin left her knees and flew backwards.
bang.
Guqin cracked in the air.
Xu Fengnian sighed and supported the wall, feeling a little regretful that such a good opportunity would never come again.
before the rain.
At that time Xu Fengnian got up to leave the fortune-telling booth under the old willow tree, and saw a sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen standing in the middle of the street, dressed in ragged clothes, holding a broken porcelain bowl, as if he had made up his mind to pester endlessly for copper coins A rogue beggar, the young man grinned, showing his white teeth, and softly said two words in Beiliang dialect, "Xu, Wu."
Xu Fengnian continued to move forward. The young man backed up and followed, with a playful smile in the eyes of others, his eyes were unusually clear, and he said softly: "My master is Xu from the twelve earthly branches, and has been in charge of spying on the three of Su, Zhao and Qi. Apprentice, Master died of old age three years ago. I went to Beiliang according to Master’s last wish. My original intention was to inherit the mantle and make this Xu, but the General refused. The news of a local dead man said that His Royal Highness might be coming, so let me pay more attention."
Xu Fengnian made a gesture and took out a piece of broken silver, but he was not in a hurry to throw it into the bowl. From the outside, it seemed that there were some scattered copper coins, and some felt distressed about the silver.
The young man said quickly: "There are two groups of killers in the city, one group of three people, not very skilled, and the other is a female devil who carries the piano, named Xue Songguan, who ranks fifth among the top ten devils in Beimang. The second place on the list is very tricky. I am good at six-stone bows, and I can hurt my vajra body within 300 steps. However, with such power, I can only shoot one arrow a day. Your Highness, should I kill her or hide her? I'm up to you. "
Xu Fengnian threw the broken silver into the bowl and said without hesitation, "Kill."
The young man pretended to see Qian's eyes wide open, smiling brightly, and asked: "But Your Highness, she is referring to Master Xuan, it's not easy to kill."
Xu Fengnian said as he walked, with an expression impatient to chase away flies, and said in a flat tone: "I attract her attention, if nothing happens, a group of three people will make trouble when I fight Xue Songguan, if I can't kill her She will definitely spare no effort to kill them, and then you can just shoot an arrow from three hundred steps away."
The slovenly boy laughed and said, "Your Highness, do you need to bet so much? If you are going to die, I won't be able to live."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Gambling can't always think about winning big with small things, such stingy gamblers lose nine out of ten bets."
The boy's eyes lit up, and he seemed to agree with this point of view.
Xu Fengnian smiled, like a playboy with an eccentric and capricious temperament, stretched out his foot to kick the boy away, and took back the broken silver from the bowl.
The stunned dead man stared at this handsome figure, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and spit out two words: "Stingy!"
At this time in the rain.
Without the banana-leaf-style guqin, the woman's delicate body made a slight move in front of her, stopping the shaking. The blind luthier spat out a mouthful of blood, stretched out his hand and pulled out a black iron arrow from his back. The sharp arrow only penetrated an inch into his back. , did not seriously hurt the lungs.
A spear came out of the wall through the wall and stabbed at Xu Fengnian, but the devil threw an iron arrow out of nowhere and pierced the assassin's head. Xu Feng was young and easy to dodge the point of the gun, curiously looked at the finger Xuanqin master who killed first and then saved, and then waved his hand.
The archery boy draws the bow and shoots arrows at a distance of three hundred steps, in order to hide his tracks. Now that he has revealed his secrets, he leaps nimbly like a leopard on the top of the roof, draws the bow like a full moon, and aims at the devil at the top of the roof.
A master indicated that the young man was not in a hurry to shoot arrows, and furthermore, if the first arrow failed, it was unclear whether the second arrow could cause fatal injury to the luthier. Except for the iron arrow on the string in his hand, there is only one quiver left on his back.
She stood up and said slowly: "Xu Fengnian, or His Royal Highness Beiliang Shizi? When I was in Longyao Prefecture, someone first bought you to die with 500 jin of gold, and then someone bought you to live with 600 jin of gold."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Only eight or nine people in Beiliang know the route of my whereabouts. Many people can rule out the suspicion. Now it seems that either Chu Lushan or Ye Xizhen wants to buy my life. Five hundred catties of gold, Lu Qiuer must have it." But Ye Xizhen may not be. But the world is unpredictable, and God knows the truth. As for the one who bought me to live, it must be my master Li Yishan. Why did you take the second sum of gold and still kill me?"
She took it for granted: "Always pay attention to first come, first come first. I said to myself, as long as the three strings are broken and you can survive, I will not kill you again."
Without Xu Fengnian taking any action, the boy decisively shot one of the five strings lying quietly on the bluestone board.
Xue Songguan, who is both a devil and a killer, asked, "I'm not going to kill you anymore, are you going to kill me?"
Xu Fengnian, who was overwhelmed with energy and almost died of pain, said with a distorted face: "If you don't fight back, I will kill you!"
The corner of her mouth twitched symbolically, and she probably laughed it off.
Xu Fengnian sat cross-legged, and finally took the time to absorb the essence of the two-zen golden elixir.
Boy Wu jumped all the way to Xu Fengnian's side along the top of the roof wall, carefully looking at the female devil whose Guqin was destroyed by him.
But she just carefully picked up the pieces and strings of the Guqin, held them carefully in her arms, and then sat on the stone steps in a daze.
The heavy rain gradually stopped.
The old master Zhao Dingxiu walked out of the courtyard accompanied by the blacksmith. The latter went to collect the corpse. The old master looked at the luthier who stood up and saluted, and then at the young man who was at the foot of the wall and the boy holding the bow. I heard it all. The visitors are guests, so come in."
The blind luthier walked into the small courtyard first, and did not forget to pick up the small umbrella standing slanted on the threshold.
After a stick of incense, Xu Fengnian stood up, went to the wall to draw Chunlei, and then walked into the yard with Boy Wu.
In this room, apart from Su Su lying unconscious in the chair, there are His Royal Highness Beiliang Shizi, Shi Shiwu, Xishu survivor Zhao Dingxiu, and a female devil Xue Songguan, it is really absurd mess.
The old master glanced at Xu Fengnian, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. I didn't expect that Beiliang, where 300,000 cavalry were united, would be so chaotic."
Xu Fengnian took off his outer shirt and said with a smile: "Small riches are safe. We are talking about small riches. The family is big and the business is big, especially after it is completely settled down. The emperor of the Zhao family can't do anything to Beiliang. No way, everyone is free, there will always be all kinds of infighting."
The old master sneered, "His Royal Highness is very broad-minded."
Xu Fengnian sat on the threshold, leaning on the hinge of the door, "In order to send a message to you, I almost left my life here. Is this how the survivors of Western Shu treat guests?"
In the past, Chunqiu Hongru said coldly: "Don't forget that Xishu was trampled by your Northern Liang army."
Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "Northern Liang's army destroyed Xishu, and Nanliang and Xiliang did such a thing to leave a legacy in history, but Nanliang and Xiliang will not let your prince of Xishu go. I can't say a single word now." It hurts so much, so don't let it go, okay?"
The old master narrowed his eyes and said: "Do you believe that I will have someone cut off your neck and head with a sword?"
Xu Fengnian pointed to the blind luthier, and said to the woman who turned his back to him with a tacit understanding: "Officer Xue Song has accepted six hundred catties of gold. If Master Qi wants to kill him, I will stop him."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "How are you, old scholar Zhao?"
The old master snorted coldly.
Xu Fengnian said: "The restoration of the Western Shu Kingdom is not in the old Western Shu. Eight hundred miles further south, there are eighteen Nanzhao departments. You can talk about the restoration of the Kingdom after you go to unify. There are hidden chess pieces in Beiliang that can be provided to you." You order."
The old master's eyes froze.
Xu Fengnian went straight to the point and said: "There is no such thing as taking advantage for nothing in the world. I will accept a deposit first. I heard that the surname Qi has been secretly forging swords for twenty years. No matter whether the sword is cast or not, even if there is only a sword embryo, it will be fine." give it to me."
The old master was furious and cursed: "Get out!"
Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said: "Zhao Dingxiu, don't get cheap and act good, don't talk about a sword, I guess if you have a granddaughter, I heard that the restoration of the country is expected, why don't you offer it with both hands?"
The old master was so angry that his lips were livid, fortunately he had never practiced martial arts, otherwise he would have to fight this little bastard in all likelihood.
The blacksmith who returned to the yard said calmly: "You can take that handle of Chunqiu."
Xu Fengnian was taken aback for a moment.
The blacksmith looked at Xu Fengnian, the sun came out from the west, and said with a hearty smile: "The fight in the alley is full of muscle. I have been listening to your words, and I didn't say more than ten words when I was fighting with others. I know you are a cool person. I like it. Like the master back then, our Xishu Sword Emperor, who kills people as soon as he kills them, croaking a hammer. Presumably this spring and autumn will not be humiliated in your hands."
After saying this, the blacksmith was even more brisk. He stepped on the courtyard, and a sword box stood up.
Before it comes out of the box, it is already a sword fighting bull!
