Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 4 Mountains and Seas
"That Flood Dragon, with golden wings and green claws, Hetie's blue light scales, as thick as a buffalo's waist, is twelve feet long from head to tail. In that water, rivers and seas are overturned, the wind calls for rain, and the dark clouds cover the sun. It will be engulfed by the flood, in that instant! Li Qinglan, the master of the Sword of Eternal Sorrow, rushed to his horse, jumped from the horse's back into the water, and immediately slashed the dragon with his sword!"

He Xiaoyun took two bowls of steaming Huai Dumplings into the teahouse, and found He Chunxia and sat next to him, "This is this again, I can't get tired of hearing it." It was during the fight, and the storyteller was talking like spittle and fluff. I woke up everyone who was sleeping on their stomachs under the stage.

"It's nice, it's nice." He Chun Xia clapped her hands, and then took the chopsticks, "The story of my uncle is really wonderful, when will my story be spread on the rivers and lakes." She cleared her throat, "He Chun Xia, a strange woman. , How strange, the rivers and lakes are so big, there are many masters, and the way of kendo is like a mountain, and the one standing on the top of the mountain is this woman, the world's first female sword master, He Chunxia!"

He Xiaoyun put his hands on his chest, slanted her eyes, nodded perfunctorily, and got a foot on his calf under the table. "There should be applause at this moment." He Chunxia held her head high, spread her arms, and persisted for a while. He Xiaoyun didn't want to cooperate, but her calf was really painful, so she reached out and patted it twice and snorted, "Okay."

"Eat!" He Chunxia lowered her head and pretended to bow before moving her chopsticks.The Huai dumplings have thin skin and few fillings, thin and fresh meat, delicate soup, salty and sweet aftertaste in the mouth, and delicious taste. He Chunxia ate fifteen of them in one go.He Xiaoyun chewed slowly, noticed the little sister's eyes, swallowed the food in his mouth, sighed, there was more than half of the bowl left, and pushed it in front of He Chunxia. "After eating, go to the building and wait for Master Ye. I was thinking that it snowed yesterday and there were few boats in the waterway. You and Master Ye can't go back to Yangzhou by boat. I'll go and lead two horses."

He Xia Xia hummed her head and ate hard, He Xiaoyun got up and patted her head and left the teahouse.

"The skill practiced by Li Qinglan is one of the two supreme secret books in the hands of the old Tianji Taoist, the 24 Longevity Map. Based on this map, he just realized a ray of seven-star sword light. When the sword energy was released, the dragon's head The water-dispelling corner was pierced, and the water slowed down. In an instant, a thunderbolt as thick as a well went straight down into the sky, scorching the dragon's muscles and bones, and splitting its black scales! Who came! In the mid-fourteenth month, step on the crane and walk on the cloud"

"Wrong! Wrong! Mr. Fourteen was only seven or eight years old at the time, how could it be possible?" He Chunxia raised his head and retorted loudly. The whole teahouse looked back at her. She suddenly thought of something and stuck her tongue out, "I'm talking nonsense."

The sound of the bell jumped away.

"Since ancient times, the only way to fight swords is to beat the apprentice first, then beat the master. If you beat the master first, and the apprentice jumps out, then it's not called martial arts, it's called revenge." Fang Shu took a sip of tea. , "But little girl, you and I have no grudges and no grudges. No matter what you fight, you can't fight, there is no reason, isn't it very reasonable?"

He Chunxia nodded.

Zhang Zhouporridge listened to him, hehehe laughed, He Chunxia gave him a look at the second fool, Zhang Zhouporridge was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to continue laughing or change other expressions, so he had to learn from Fangshu and raise a cup of tea and water. I was in a hurry to drink, I burned my tongue, and spit it out in one mouthful.When He Chun Xia saw it, he laughed twice, "Stay!" He got up and took out the veil to wipe water for him. Zhang Zhou Porridge thought he was going to hand him the veil, and squeezed He Chun Xia's hand.

"Little bastard, take your hand away!" He Xiaoyun entered the door, and Ye Shu followed behind.

"It's alright, wipe it for him." He Chun Xia explained, leaving the handkerchief in Zhang Zhou's porridge's hand and sitting back down.He Xiaoyun stretched out his hand, pointed to Zhang Zhou Porridge with two fingers together, showed a fierce look, and then took back a stroke on his wrist as a threat.

Fang Shu stood up and bowed, pulled over the stool and asked the two of you to sit down, and went out to the little maid who was waiting at the door, nodding and waving her hand to serve.

"Dongpo Pork, Braised Bamboo Shoots, Crystal Pork, Wensi Tofu, Crab Noodles Lion's Head. The most outstanding are these two signature dishes, one is the Steamed Jiang Dao, the last batch of the year, although it is not as good as the one before the Qingming Festival. The taste is unparalleled, but the fish meat is firmer, and the oil is pressed to the tip of the tongue, which is called a fresh." Xiaopan Jiang Dao, one for each person, said the recipe book to serve soup for everyone, "Ham old duck soup, sliced ​​ham square, one year. Take the duck breasts from the above two old ducks, add candied dates, ginger, orange peel, cooking wine, boil them on a slow fire for a full six hours, add a little sesame oil, remove the meat residue, and only take the soup water, the soup is mellow and moist, and the aftertaste is endless.”

"I've eaten the royal banquet, so I don't need to blow the hype." He Xiaoyun took out a pair of silver chopsticks, tried each dish to be non-toxic, took back the clothes, took a bowl to drink the soup, and asked Ye Shu, "Master Ye, how is it?"

Ye Shu tried the Jiang Dao first, "It tastes good." Then he drank the soup, "There is something wrong with the seasoning of the soup, it's smelly."

Zhang Zhou's porridge didn't stop with chopsticks. Seeing that He Chunxia didn't move his chopsticks very much, he sat pouting.So he stopped the chopsticks, folded the handkerchief and handed it over, "Why don't you eat it?"

"I ate too much in the morning." He Chunxia rolled his eyes.

"Try it, try it, it's delicious." Fang Shu smiled at her with a spread face, and then moved his chopsticks. Seeing that everyone had eaten it, Fang Shu went out and took out a few taels of silver for the waiting. The little girl, "Go, you don't have to wait, the New Year is coming, I will send you the New Year's money in advance to buy more rice and noodles for the family."

"Thank you Uncle Fang!" The little maid bowed politely and left happily.

Entering the door again, Fang Shu was still smiling.

"Everyone eats and drinks well, okay?"

"The food is poisoned, and you are afraid that you won't survive for an hour."

He Xiaoyun patted the table and stood up, "Fuck! I have tested them one by one!" Ye Shu stopped his chopsticks, expressionless, He Chunxia stared at Zhang Zhou Porridge with a fierce look, and Zhang Zhou Porridge was stunned.

"The poison is placed in the fish and the soup separately, and they are naturally non-toxic. Two things, yes, give the antidote." Fang Shu smiled even more. Seeing Zhang Zhou's porridge, he hesitated, and raised his eyebrows at him. "Eat yours."

Ye Shu was full of energy, but he couldn't. He laughed happily, "Fang Shu, you are still you, but that's it." Fang Shu's smile stopped, he touched the flying needle in his cuff, and spoke to He Xiaoyun. , "The first thing. The emperor has not been in court for ten years. Although the Zhang family's case is big, it will not be brought up by Qianhu Jinyiwei personally. I just want to know if the unicorn suit is the emperor or a group of eunuchs in the East Palace. ?"

"Fuck you!" He Xiaoyun's eyes were anxious, he raised his knife and forced forward to slash, stopped, and the long hatred came out of the sheath, and the sword light reached He Chunxia's heart. "It seems to be a eunuch, say something, or else, kill your sister." Jianguang approached inch by inch.

Zhang Zhou Porridge stood in front of He Chun Xia and stretched out his hand to hold the sword, "Master, although I don't know them very well, I don't think they are particularly bad people. It's too despicable for you to coerce other people in this way. It's okay, I know maybe you're doing it for me, but I just can't accept it. Let them go."

"I want you to save me? Go away! Donggong has become very powerful in recent years, but it still can't control Jinyiwei's head. This case was originally from Dali Temple, and it was given to Beizhen Fusi when Donggong wanted to take over. Dare to touch my sister, I will definitely I'll kill you with my own hands!" He Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, the poison had already taken effect, and his limbs were all weak.

Fang Shu turned his wrist to retract the sword, Zhang Zhouzhou felt pain in his palm, saw blood, and could no longer hold it, He Chunxia took a handkerchief to wrap it up for him. "The second thing. Ye Shu, I will make a deal with you." Fang Shu put down his long-lasting hatred, laid it on the table, and took out a picture from his inner pocket, "Eternal hatred, 24 longevity pictures, I will give you one Boat porridge is a disciple."

"When I'm old, I just want to have a few days to have a happy birthday. The matter of the Zhang family, according to He Xiaoyun, involves complicated forces, and I can't control it. Lao Ye, you are a capable person, keep him alive."

"It's just a little bit of weakness, just a bluff, and within half an hour, it's alive and kicking." Seeing that Ye Shu didn't speak, Fang Shu took a breath and smiled bitterly, "Old Ye, I didn't get anything from him. It’s nothing more than a hidden weapon. Everlasting Sorrow and 24 Longevity Maps are all coincidences, do you understand?”

"it is good."

Ye Shu nodded, took the Everlasting Hate, 24 Longevity Map, and put the sword on his waist carefully, without looking at the map, and handed it to He Chunxia.

"Don't want to see it?" Fang Shu asked.

"I want to see it, I want to see it almost like a madman. But I can't." Ye Shu smiled, "I already have my own swordsmanship, maybe not as good as him, but after all, it's my own path."

"If you don't look back, go on without looking back."

He Chunxia spread out the 24 pictures of longevity, 24 small pictures, and drew the actions and postures of the villain, with no words or explanations. She frowned, but couldn't comprehend anything.The poison of Ruanjin powder has not yet faded. She adjusts her strength according to the posture in the picture, her internal strength is blocked, and her whole body is weak. If she does not use the movement, but only uses the posture, how about it?That is, every move is not a move, but a retreat, and the sword is exhausted.

24 weeks of turning around to take advantage of the situation, creating something out of nothing, endless!
She was fascinated.

Fang Shu called Zhang Zhou Porridge outside the door.

"There are too many dirty tricks in the rivers and lakes. Winning or losing is not based on martial arts. Don't look at me winning that fool Lao Ye, but he is the one who really has the ability. I am really jealous of him for what he said today. These dirty tricks are hidden weapons. , sneak attack, poison, is it easy to use? Easy to use. Can you win? Can you win. But who doesn't want to have a clear conscience?"

"Learn some real skills from Lao Ye and live a good life. Like you said, you have to become a romantic person." Fang Shu pointed to the sky, and suddenly smiled, the people in the sky will look at you, kid.He patted Zhang Zhou Porridge on the head, and patted Zhang Zhou Porridge on the shoulder.

Fang Shu turned around and left.Zhang Zhouzhu slowly knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed seriously at the back of Fang Shu's departure.

In the room, He Chunxia just stared at the picture, like being possessed, He Xiaoyun leaned forward and shook her shoulders.

"What do you see, so fascinated?"

"I saw the end of the kendo. On the other side of the mountain, there is the sea! It is full of mountains and fields, and the flowers bloom into the ocean."

He Chunxia closed her eyes and shed two lines of blood and tears, and then slowly opened them, her eyes became blood red, "Master, I saw such beautiful flowers." He, with the light in his eyes scattered, grinned.

"Master Ye!" He Xiaoyun screamed anxiously, at a loss for a while, Ye Shu swept behind He Chun Xia, stunned with a palm, took the picture, threw it back to Zhang Zhou porridge, pulled the stool to sit upright, raised his hand and pressed the button He Chunxia used two acupoints on the fish waist and Sibai, grabbed her arm, and pulled the bell to diagnose the pulse.

After a long time, he sighed.

"The meridians are retrograde, the qi and blood are attacking the heart, and the fire has gone into the devil."

"I will take the Huaiyang Canal when I come. Two days is too slow. Your horse is good. I will ride it. I will take her back to Yangzhou first."

"Take Zhang Zhou Porridge and go to the capital to solve the case first, and wait for my news."

"Zhang Zhouporridge is now your junior brother, take care of him all the way."

Ye Shu quickly explained to He Xiaoyun, carried He Chunxia on his back and left.

"Master Ye, you must save her, be careful along the way!" He Xiaoyun clasped his fists and bowed, and then went out, as if he had forgotten something, turned his head, and yelled at Zhang Zhouporridge, "Fool, what are you doing, just follow."

Zhang Zhouporg lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, shuffling his feet, with a lot of thought.

He clutched her bell.
