Chapter 86 Night Party
Wu De sat cross-legged on the carpet and carefully wiped the iron sword in his hand.
When he was escorting Zhang Ruo earlier, Wu De used a spear in all the battles, but in fact, his real weapon was an iron sword set in the barrel of the gun.
The sword is very distinctive. It has three grooves and three edges. It is inserted into the gun shaft and is integrated with the gun shaft. There is no clue about it from the outside.
As the fourth person in Black Ice Platform, his martial arts skills are naturally not bad.
The peak of the eighth level is only one step away from the ninth level.
On this trip outside the customs, the bottleneck that had been stuck on him for a long time unexpectedly loosened and opened a gap, which surprised and delighted him.
Sometimes, danger is also an opportunity.
In the past, Wu De was actually quite proud of his cultivation.
After all, he is in his early forties and has reached the peak of the eighth level, and is already considered a very remarkable person.
But after meeting people like Li Dachui and Xiao Changche who were among the best, it actually made him feel a little inferior.
He is much younger than me, but his martial arts skills are much higher than mine.
Let’s not talk about Li Dachui. After all, there is an innate master who stays by his side all day long to provide personal guidance. This kind of thing is something that few people in the world can achieve.
But Xiao Changche’s behavior really frightened Wu De.
I only heard about it in Chang'an before, but this time I saw it with my own eyes.
At the age of twenty-four or five, with the cultivation level of Xuanyuan Ninth Grade, he is the commander and controller of thousands of troops, and now, he will soon become the most powerful person outside the pass.
If Linghuye could still effectively control Xiao Changche in the past,
after seizing Aquarius State and joining forces with Li Dachui, the power structure outside the pass will change. Earth-shaking changes have occurred.
Wu De sighed lightly. It’s hard to say anything else, but it’s time to think about his martial arts cultivation. A higher one is always better than a lower one, and you can always do more.
There was a soft pop, and a spark suddenly jumped out of the fire in front of him. However, the iron sword in Wu De's hand flashed a cold light, not aiming at the bounced spark, but stabbing it with his backhand. Toward behind.
Something silently opened the tent and flew towards him.
Wu De's heart sank to the bottom.
One sword failed.
In an instant, he bent over and rolled himself into a ball, rolled to the side, with the iron sword retracted across his front body, he jumped up and half knelt on the ground.
A yellow grasshopper hung in front of him.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a grasshopper made from the withered yellow grass leaves that can be seen everywhere outside.
Wu De's eyes were full of fear, and he swallowed involuntarily. He looked past the grasshopper and looked at the hole in the tent.
The grasshopper actually flapped its wings at this time, then turned around and flew out again along the gap.
Wu De hesitated for a moment, then finally took the long sword, opened the tent curtain, and walked out.
It was quiet in the camp.
There was no light from the stars or the moon in the sky, but under the reflection of the white snow, the surrounding scenery was still vivid.
The little grasshopper flapped its wings and flew quickly in front. Wu Deti took a breath and followed closely behind like a wisp of smoke.
Wu De could not refuse this invitation from an inexplicable force.
Sometimes, strength is justice.
When the grasshopper flew in front of Wu De, Wu De knew that he had no strength to resist.
In front of me, under the canopy of the lonely pine tree, I could vaguely see a figure, and the grass-yellow grasshopper flew into the shadow.
Wu De clenched the iron sword in his hand. No matter how high the opponent's martial arts skills were, he did not have the habit of restraining himself. Sometimes even if he couldn't beat someone, he could still do it by splattering them with blood. .
"Wu Tixing, don't be so nervous, we are not enemies!" The gentle voice came, and Wu De felt inexplicably relieved, and the sword in his hand dropped. The next moment, he suddenly woke up, He raised his hand and put the sword in front of his chest again, looking at the opponent's figure, his heart became even more frightened.
The man turned his head. Wu De saw the other person's face clearly and felt that it was very familiar. He had definitely seen it somewhere before. His mind quickly recalled the trip during this period.
Finally, a picture was fixed in my mind.
It was when I was drinking at Zuideyi Restaurant that I once saw an old man with a red armband arguing with an old woman who was as thick as her head.
The reason for the quarrel was that the old woman had just spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and the old man wanted to fine him. The old woman behaved violently, so the two of them quarreled.
In the end, the old woman did not win the scolding and paid a fine of ten yuan. The old man was very proud, smiling and looking up at Wu De, who was drunk upstairs. Wu De also gave him a thumbs up.
After all, it is not easy to win over such an old woman. Wu De thought that he could not do it. When encountering such a thing, he would probably run away.
"Is it you?" He was surprised. "Who are you?"
The old man waved to him and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhou, and I don't have much else to do on weekdays, so I just wander around Tai'an City!"
The original surname is Zhou!
Wu De's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach. He put away his iron sword and walked towards the old man: "It turns out that the city lord is here. I stayed in Tai'an City for many days, but I have no chance to see him this time. On the side of the city lord, I don’t know that the city lord is calling for you all night long. "What's your order?"
"I like this way of getting straight to the point!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I came here specifically because there is something I need to remind you of!"< br>
Wu De was slightly stunned: "If the city lord has something to do, just ask him. As long as Wu can do something within his ability, he will not hesitate."
"Someone asked me to investigate what happened in Chang'an twenty-five years ago. What kind of big thing happened?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Yes, Miss Qingyun asked me to check. Twenty-five years ago, I was about fourteen or fifteen years old. At that time, I was still doing odd jobs in front of the master. It was really unclear. But it can really influence Major events that affect the world must be recorded in the Heibingtai archives, and now I can check them at will."
Zhou Zhi looked up at the sky and sighed slightly, "That incident twenty-five years ago. , Heibingtai may not have many detailed records, but I know that there are still a few old guys still alive in Heibingtai, and they should know, but I don’t recommend that you ask them, or you may cause death. Woe!”
Wu De’s body was slightly shaken.
"A fatal disaster?"
"No matter what you can find, don't reveal it to outsiders for the time being!" Zhou Zhidao.
Wu De pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It seems that the city lord is very clear about the cause and effect of the incident twenty-five years ago. It would be unnecessary for me to investigate, so I will naturally not be troublesome. ”
“Do your job People are very curious, and if you don’t understand something, you won’t be able to sleep!” Zhou Zhi said, “So let me remind you.”
Wu De laughed: “ I understand what you mean.”
"After returning to Chang'an, you can visit Old Man Yu and talk to him about what you saw and heard outside the customs this time!" Zhou Zhi said.
"Old Master's door cannot be opened by a crude warrior like me!" Wu De shook his head repeatedly.
"You just said you came back from Tai'an City, he will naturally let you in!" Zhou Zhi said: "As a teacher, he is still very concerned about his students. Although he has only taught this student for three years ."
Zhou Zhi raised his hand, and a piece of baggage flew towards Wu De: "This is a little health-preserving thing that Fu Qingzhu and I prepared for him. No matter how good the old man is, he is still in his eighties. I hope he can live for a few more years!"
Wu De was very excited. If he could really get into the door of Old Master Yu Entai, his status would be improved several levels, not to mention. In addition, in the future in Chang'an, some people who wish themselves bad luck will have to reconsider their attitude towards themselves. There is no way he can move up the ranks after being the executioner for many years.
Although I don't care.
"Does the city lord have any other instructions?"
"If you can see He Qiku, say a word for me and say that an old friend asked him, but he regretted the choice he made back then. ?" Zhou Zhi's tone became colder: "You are a thief who is too old to die. What is he, an old thief, still doing? He is a thief who wastes food while he is alive. It is better to burn himself to death. Ash, throw it into the East China Sea to feed the fish.”
Wu De opened his mouth.
He could see that Zhou Zhi had a deep hatred for the general's suffering.
Whether it is Old Master Yu Entai or General He Qiku, these people are all old acquaintances of Zhou Zhi, and these people are all well-known figures in Da Qin.
Who is Zhou Zhi’s past?
Who is Li Dachui?
Questions popped up one after another, and curiosity became more and more intense.
As Zhou Zhi said, if he does not investigate these matters clearly, he is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well from now on. Even though curiosity can kill people sometimes, it can't stop Wu De's pursuit of the truth.
If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!
The grassy yellow grasshopper once again flew in front of Wu De, but there was no shadow of Zhou Zhi in front of him, but his voice was still ringing in his ears: "Your martial arts cultivation has arrived. There is a bottleneck, but there is hope for a breakthrough now. I give this gadget to you. Take it apart and play with it slowly, maybe it will be helpful to you.”
He reached out and carefully picked the little grasshopper from the air. Wu De was surprised and happy. He never expected that such a gift would be given to him.
If the innate master says it is helpful, then it will definitely be there!
After waiting for a moment in the snowy night and confirming that Zhou Zhi was far away, Wu De returned to the camp.
In the camp, snoring could be heard one after another, and even the horses were silent one by one.
I returned to my tent and lay on the blanket, but I was still half asleep?
The original intention of this trip to the outside of the pass was to restart the deadlock of the Black Ice Platform outside the pass. By the way, I wanted to find out the real situation outside the pass and get a feel for the bottom of Linghuye. I didn’t expect that the situation outside the pass was far more complicated than The imperial imagination.
