Chapter 872 is coming
On both sides of the river,
standing are three of the four greatest swordsmen in the world;
But after the word "go",
The so-called "Four Swordsmen" may become a thing of the past.
Just like back then, Zheng Fan was pulled out by the evildoers and forcibly paired with the young barbarian prince, General Nian and Prince Consort Zhong to form the "Four Generals". However, with the rise of the "King of Pingxi", no one can say this anymore. Go and mention it;
General Nian was captured and taken to Yan In the imperial palace of the country, the little barbarian prince is being chased because the royal court was trampled. Although Zhong Tianlang is still alive and kicking;
but, as the only survivor, he will always be killed as a last resort. Take it out and compare it with Ping Xiwang, and then it will be embarrassing.
Both are consorts, but Zhong Tianlang’s consort was granted a marriage by the official family, and King Pingxi was the princess he snatched;
Zhong Tianlang was the descendant of the former number one general of the Qian Kingdom, while King Pingxi was It is the rise of Qianshou;
In Liang Digan's army, Meng Gong was the commander, and Zhong Tianlang was just a general. Even though he controlled the only cavalry group in Qian Kingdom, King Pingxi had already started the national war on his own; he was suppressed no matter what. Big head.
The same goes for the swordsman.
When the gap is too big, they no longer deserve to be mentioned together.
Once upon a time, they may have stood on the wave of an era together, but inadvertently, some were already ahead, while others were running slower, but were far behind.
The sword maker and Baili Jian stopped talking. The verbal dispute had lost its meaning at this time.
Regardless of the arena, the temple, or the battlefield, in essence, it is still about who has the biggest fist and who has the right.
But the sword maker and Baili Jian did not "get out" as the sword master said.
After the two looked at each other,
they sat down.
Baili Jian picked up a grilled fish that he had thrown on the dead leaves and took a bite. It was cold. When the fish was cold, the fishy smell became stronger.
"Alas."
After Baili Jian put down the grilled fish in his hand, he picked it up again. After picking it up, he put it down again. Finally, he simply threw it aside and ignored it.
The proud son of the Baili family is not used to facing this feeling of powerlessness.
I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was a child, and my talent is astonishing, and my swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds;
But it is not that I have never lost. After all, everyone grows up step by step, and there will always be times when they are weak;
Just like in the previous fight, he was caught by the sword master, and he lost.
But when the sword master sacrificed the "four swords", he felt a kind of powerlessness.
A kind of power that goes beyond simple winning and losing.
No one can always maintain the immortal style. Generally, people who appear to be immortal are either very good at pretending, or... you are too short in front of him.
Baili Jian is using this seemingly unexpected little detail to relieve the depression in his heart,
The sword maker next to him was sitting quietly. He didn't seem to care much about this false reputation.
Also, how can a person who has great abilities but endures loneliness and hides his sword really care about this?
On the other side,
The sword master took back Long Yuan and dispersed three sword intentions.
He sat down cross-legged, uncovered, and meditated openly to adjust his breath. He was indeed very tired just now.
I sat here until dawn.
“Dad, are you hungry?”
Liu Dahu slept for a while last night.
His father is sitting in front, and he can really sleep.
This has nothing to do with whether his father is a sword master or not. After all, for a long time, his father has always been a sick soldier in his heart.
The sword master nodded and said: "I'm hungry and thirsty."
"Then why didn't you call me."
"You are tired too."
"Hehe."
Liu Dahu began to collect dead branches nearby, and started a fire with a fire stick he had brought to light the prince's cigarette.
Then, he took off his helmet, washed it carefully by the river, scooped up half of the helmet's water, put it on the fire to boil, waited until the water boiled, then carefully poured it into his water bag, and added He bought some tea and handed it to his father:
"Dad, it's hot."
"Yes."
The sword master took the water bag, Xiao Xiao He took a sip.
Then,
Liu Dahu boiled some water with his helmet, then poured some fried noodles from the grain bag on his waist into it, making it thicker;
Then, he put some brown sugar, salt and pepper into it;
After that, use your hands to form a ball.
He is a personal soldier of King Pingxi, and he also serves the general's tent when marching and fighting. Naturally, he has a lot of bits and pieces on him.
After handing the caked dough to the sword master,
The father and son sat together and started eating.
On the other side,
Baili Sword and the sword maker also sat there all night.
Thyme Lan used her sword to catch a few more fish from the river, lit the fire again, and started grilling the fish.
After a while, the smell of grilled fish spread to the other side.
Immediately,
Baili Sword and the sword maker each had a freshly grilled fish in their hands.
The sword maker looked at the fish in his hand and said with some difficulty:
"I mean, girl, you still eat this so early in the morning?"
Thyme Lan replied ; "I can plant some millet now and harvest it slowly when it grows, so that I can grind flour for you?"
"Yes, yes, but what about the spices? Without the spices, the fish won't be able to eat it? Salt, you have to get some, right?"
"I prepared a meal, but I used it up last night and it's gone. ." Thyme Lan said coldly.
"Tsk..."
The sword maker had no choice but to eat with difficulty.
Wait until noon,
Liu Dahu began to try to catch fish in the river, but unfortunately, he spent a lot of effort but had no harvest.
At this moment, he began to regret a little. If he had known better, he would have let Chen Xianba follow his father. Chen Xianba was good at catching fish.
At this time, a few fish were thrown over from the other side of the river.
Thyme Orchid stood there,
said;
"Change the salt."
"Oh."
Liu Dahu is an honest boy. He took out the small bag containing salt, opened it, faced the river in front of him, and poured some into it.
"..."Thyme Orchid.
Suddenly,
Liu Dahu seemed to realize what kind of stupid thing he had done, so he immediately went back, found another empty bag, put some salt in it, tied a stone with it, and threw it away.
Thyme Lan glanced at Liu Dahu coldly, picked up the bag and turned back.
In the afternoon, fish were grilled on both sides of the river.
When Liu Dahu saw the sword maker on the other side, he seemed to go crazy. He dropped the fish, took a sword, and started to eat it.
Of course, not really eating, but biting as if to vent.
After biting for a while, he dropped the sword on the ground. Obviously, several consecutive meals of grilled fish made him in a bad mood.
In the evening, neither party cooked anymore because no one wanted to eat fish anymore.
The next morning,
Liu Dahu continued to boil water, make tea, handed it to his father, and then used the remaining fried noodles to make a meal of paste. The father and son continued like this Eat.
Thyme Orchid seems ready to catch fish again,
The swordmaker raised his hands and shouted.
I stopped catching thyme orchid;
On the other side, I didn’t eat anything except drinking water all day long.
Another night passed,
Morning,
Liu Dahu continued to make tea for his father. This time, after adding the tea leaves, he also put in the remaining brown sugar.
You and me, you and I are sucking each other, hanging out with sugar and tea.
On the other side,
Baili Jian is sitting calmly,
The sword maker is already lying on his side, with his eyes open, as if sleeping but not sleeping.
Liu Dahu didn't understand why they were like this even though they were obviously very strong, and he didn't ask his father.
Waiting until noon,
a team of about seven or eight people appeared on the other side, wearing the clothes of the Silver Armored Guards.
The appearance of that group of people brought food other than grilled fish to the other side, such as white-flour steamed buns.
It seems that I got the order,
Thyme Lan threw a bag over. Liu Dahu stepped forward and opened it. There were eight steamed buns inside.
"Dad?"
"Eat."
The sword master picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
"Dad, just in case..."
After following the prince for a long time, he will naturally learn to be extra careful about eating.
The Sword Master shook his head and said: "The person on the other side is afraid of death, but not to the point of death."
This is not the Sword Master's "feminine kindness" or "easy to trust others", But it's really not necessary.
Furthermore, Zheng Fan is not here;
It’s not that if Zheng Fan is here, everyone will not dare to eat steamed buns, but if he is here, then the steamed buns may really be thrown out poison.
We are not in the same circle, so we don’t have any scruples when doing things.
This is probably the kind of pure "comrades" relationship.
Liu Dahu also took a steamed bun and took a bite. He had been hungry for a long time. The joy when he chewed a mouthful of white-flour steamed bun was so happy that it made people shed tears.
But Liu Dahu still muttered while eating;
“The steamed buns are so small and don’t have fillings yet. I want to eat shredded radish and meat fillings.”
The steamed buns of Eastern Jin Dynasty have developed into a special feature under the almost stubborn persistence of Prince Pingxi;
Obviously it was a habit of calling Zheng Fan in the dialect of his hometown in his previous life, but here, it has become a culture confidence.
Not just white-flour steamed buns, but also filled with stuffing and shredded meat. That’s all, they are only worthy of being called steamed buns here!
The father and son each ate two and kept the rest.
Liu Dahu fetched water and came to wash his father's hands.
On the other side,
the sword maker shouted:
"Brother Yu, let's go!"
After the duel a few days ago, the sword master told them to "get out", and they Not gone.
Today, the sword maker called the sword master to leave, but the sword master did the same, neither responded nor left.
After a while, the sword master shouted again:
"Brother Yu, does it have to be like this? You are worthy of that person, really."
The sword master said to Liu Dahu: " What should I do if I eat someone else's steamed buns?"
Liu Dahu nodded, stood up, walked to the river and shouted to the other side: "Thank you two uncles for the steamed buns."
Zao. The swordsman sighed and sat back again.
At dusk, dozens more silver-armored guards came to the other side. After nightfall, several bonfires were lit on the other side.
Liu Dahu also lit up the fire and grilled the remaining steamed buns, and the two of them continued to share the food.
This night has passed again.
In the early morning, Liu Dahu was awakened by the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side. He opened his eyes, sat up, and saw hundreds of people coming opposite, all wearing the clothes of the Silver Armor Guard.
In fact, Silver Armor Guard was originally one of the Twelve Guards in Shangjing and was the name of the army;
But later he was recruited into the pro-army army by the emperor and started to work as a fan.
Essentially, they are still an army.
Liu Dahu started to fetch and boil water, but the tea leaves were gone.
The sword master took the water bag, drank the hot water in small sips, and said:
"Do you think it's boring?"
"Ah?" Liu Dahu was a little confused, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Dad asked you, do you think it's boring."
"Dad, why did you suddenly ask your child this?"< br>
“Because dad I want to know." After a pause, the sword master added, "Because dad himself suddenly felt that it was not interesting."
"Dad, I originally thought that I could see the shocking power of dad and those two uncles. War.”
When talking about this, Liu Dahu smiled sheepishly.
“Then, did you feel disappointed?”
“No, I think it’s because I’m here that I’m dragging my father down.”
Juggernaut Shake He shook his head and said: "You have never been a burden to dad. You were not before, you are not now, and you will not be in the future..." When he grows up, my brother should..."
"You are also my son, Yu Huaping. In fact, dad is just like other fathers. He may say something, but his son will always be the best.
In this life, some people can leave Very high, some people are about a generation old The child is wandering, but no matter how high you go, the sky is higher than you
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you stand high or low,
Stand up your chest,
They are all called standing tall.”
"I know, kid."
"You didn't choose to practice swordsmanship with dad at first, but now it seems that you were right." The sword master looked to the other side, "This world is no longer interesting.
Especially a while ago, I just witnessed a battle in which thousands of people died;
Look at it now,
Although dad is not good at music, he also knows that such a high-pitched tone, now, is actually It's a bit of a mismatch.
But that’s how things are in this world.
Some people are brave and powerful, and some are just like dogs.
There is no right or wrong of the latter, it is just your own choice, but when the building is about to collapse, you will have no shame to lament in memory. "
"Dad, my son doesn't quite understand what you said. "
"If dad lets you go, will you go? ”
"Dad, where can the child go alone? This is Qian Country after all, and the child can stay with father."
The Sword Master nodded, "If you beg them, maybe they won't If I let you die, I will give you life."
Liu Dahu immediately said: "That kid is not ready. Forget it if you die. The prince said that everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Tiandu Mountain or lighter than a feather."
"Dad remembers that when he first said this, it didn't seem to be called Tiandu Mountain. What kind of mountain is it called..."
The Sword Master thought for a while and said:
"Later he also said that if he had the opportunity to rename a mountain in the future, he would do it."
"Huh?"
"Oh, why are you talking about this? Do you know why dad? Are you going to sit here for so many days, doing nothing but sitting around?”
“My child? You know, in order to drag the two uncles on the other side here, as well as the silver-armored guards from Jianggan Kingdom, dad used himself as bait to cover for the prince."
Liu Dahu's "silliness" comes from comparing him with Chen Xianba. It does not mean that the child is really not smart.
"Qianren's Silver Armored Guards are amazing," said the Sword Master. "Zheng Zheng has said more than once that he must find a way to quickly build his own bodyguards in brocade robes. At least, they must be able to compete with the Silver Armored Guards."
In terms of espionage warfare, the Silver Armored Guards are really much more powerful than the regular army of Qianguo.
In comparison, the Secret Intelligence Department of Yan State has not been able to truly grow due to the scale and time of its development, as well as due to Du Juan's incident and the death of the palace prince.
This time when Emperor Qian went on an expedition, the Silver Armored Guards, as the emperor's personal army, actually brought out most of the elites. As for the rest, they were almost lost in the upper capital.
To a certain extent, when the Yan army attacked the capital, the Silver Armored Guards did resist until the end.
This is the country of Qian. Zheng Fan wants to escape successfully. In fact, Qian Jun’s relationship is really not big. As long as he is not surrounded and controlled in advance, it will be difficult to defeat him;
But if there is Things would be different when the Silver Armored Guard, a being who specializes in search and spying, assisted.
Emperor Qian made up his mind and wanted Zheng Fan dead. Naturally, he sent out the Silver Armored Guards. Who would lead them?
The sword master’s eyes fell on the other side.
Who else could it be?
Maybe, the two people on the other side were really helpless. Because of their toughness, they had no choice but to choose this stalemate. Then, more and more Silver Armored Guards who were originally involved in the search were gathered towards them. here.
What is the purpose of gathering?
It is very clear.
I said it myself, I have the ability to drag two with me;
The other side is thinking of adding more manpower, not too many, just a few hundred silver-armored guards, which is enough to change the situation, after all , those two are not vegetarians either.
With a group of people at the front who are not afraid of death, there is a lot of room for both of them to do something and protect themselves at the same time.
The Sword Master laughed at himself: "I have the same virtue as that surnamed Zheng, but I don't have enough strength, so I have to make up the numbers."
Prince Pingxi has always been timid and afraid of death, so the Sword Master must live next door to the palace. , there must be zombies lying under the palace, there must be royal guards inside and outside the palace, and outside Fengxin City, there must be two soldiers and horses, which are actually to protect him.
In the past, when there was no strong man of Sword Master's level around, after seeing that there was such a strong man in the world, Zheng Fan's idea was very simple, I will kill you with people!
The Silver Armored Guards on the other side gathered again, numbering in the hundreds.
Baili Sword and the sword maker have already stood up, and some of the Silver Armored Guards have already started to cross the river from the upstream and downstream. The river is not wide and the water is not deep.
In addition, figures began to flicker on the other side of the father and son. Apparently, a group of silver-armored guards had already surrounded them from there.
"Brother Yu, do you think you have made a loss or a profit?" Baili Jian asked, stepping on the river.
The Juggernaut did not stand up, but remained sitting, and replied:
"When people live, they always calculate their profits and losses. It's so boring. Just be happy."
"What about your son?" the swordmaker asked.
“It’s good to die with your son, isn’t it?”
“Tsk, tsk, don’t worry, I’ll accept your son.” The swordmaker said, “What will we do? When we have a friendship with each other, we should show our love at the end."
The Sword Master nodded and said: "Then I will try my best to take Brother Baili with me later."
Even if the silver-armored guards came and surrounded the place, the Sword Master, If you still have this kind of arrogance, if you can't drag two people together, then try to pull one of them.
"Haha." Baili Jian laughed, "If I had known, I should have said this first."
Baili Jian and the sword maker began to step forward slowly on the river, and behind them , the same is true for Thyme Orchid;
On the outside, the encirclement of the Silver Armored Guards is gradually shrinking, and the bows, crossbows and shields have already formed a formation.
The sword master reached out and touched his son's head, saying:
"Is it your fault, dad?"
"No wonder, dad is kind to me."
"Back then, I never thought that your dad would be willing to do this for him.
So,
< br>You are right,
The favors owed by others to you will accumulate over time, and you have to pay with your life
Your father and I have the false reputation of being sword masters, but in the end, in fact, we are no different from those wanderers who bought their lives for a pot of wine and three ounces of meat. "
"Dad...do you regret it? "
"No regrets. "
"Dad, there is something that my child has never told you. "
"What's the matter? ”
Liu Dahu untied the side chain of his armor and took out a... red stone.
The advancement on Wangjiang River made Magic Pill suddenly move from being a laggard to being in the front row. This advancement brought about all-round changes, such as the convergence of breath. .
In the past, the Juggernaut could detect the magic pill, but now, as long as the magic pill doesn't make a sound, he can hide himself in front of the sword master.
However, when the sword master saw this red stone, his face also showed surprise;
Of course he knew that this red stone was very important to the man named Zheng. , what does it mean.
Even if he wasn't fighting, he would always keep this stone with him whenever he went out. It was his strongest and last line of security.
But now, it appears in the hands of his son.
"The prince forced it on the child, and the child... didn't dare to disobey." Liu Dahu said with some fear, "Father, the prince, is a very wise man. You may feel that you have lied to him, but the prince Can Can I just pretend to be deceived by you?"
The sword master took a deep breath,
Even though Baili Sword and the sword maker were pressing forward step by step, the formation of the Silver Armor Guards was approaching. , has been formed;
But the sword master still paid no attention to it,
but stretched out his hand and touched the red stone. The stone turned over several times on its own, as if trying to win: You didn't notice me, did you?
"He has changed." The Juggernaut said.
"Dad, you are talking about...the prince?"
"Do you still remember the Lin opera troupe in Chuzhou City, the one who played the role of the ancestor of the Qian Kingdom?"
"Remember."
"She is acting, so why isn't he acting?" Juggernaut smiled, "But the difference is that she can really only act. She takes off her opera robe and gets off her clothes." The stage is gone.
And when he doesn’t want to act anymore, he really is.”
The sword master looked around and said with emotion:< br>
"Your father and I are so heavy with these small favors accumulated over time. This time, he suddenly shouldered the debt of eight thousand lives.
Hehehe..."
Sword Sheng smiled.
His sudden smile
made the three people on the river stop for a moment.
The silver-armored guards who surrounded him also paused.
"It's good. After he has a child, he has a place to gloat about his misfortune."
The sword master finally stood up, Long Yuan in hand.
Liu Dahu was holding a red stone in his left hand and a knife in his right hand;
At this moment,
Suddenly, a trembling sound came from the periphery, and a knight in black armor could vaguely be seen running towards here.
The red stone stood up in Liu Dahu's hand, and then swayed from side to side.
"Hey, Brother Yu, are you really going to play a drama about the love between master and servant? Your prince is here to save you, haha, just right, just right..."
Smiling and laughing,
the sword maker couldn't laugh anymore.
Because figures of black-armored knights appeared in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
This means that
it is not the fleeing Yan army led by the prince, but
it is the one who broke through Shangjing City. That...the main force of the Yan army!
A shirtless man as tall as a tower
waving an ax,
running wildly with excitement, anticipation and excitement while shouting at the top of his lungs:
"My lord, I’m coming, I’m coming!”
