Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 5 Lonely Wild Goose

He Xiaoyun led Zhang Zhouporridge to buy some trivial road trips. He led the horse to go slowly, and he did not rush out of the city, nor along the official road. He walked to a forest, led the horse to the edge of the tree, tied the reins, and motioned Zhang Zhouporridge to go. walk in. "Brother, I'm very scared of you like this. You're not going to cut me, are you?"

He Xiaoyun rolled his eyes, slapped Zhang Zhoucong on the back of his head, and pushed him forward. Zhang Zhouconge reluctantly leaned forward. Suddenly he heard the rustling sound in his ears. He glanced around at the corner of his eye, and the figure moved, and he understood that it was Some people have been following from the city, silently putting their hands on the hilt of the sword.

The running water is not freezing, the two followed the slight sound of the water, and found an open place, standing with their backs to the water, the other party followed all the way, knowing that they had already found their whereabouts, and did not hide, more than ten people came out one after another, leading a swordsman, and said, "As entrusted by someone, 2000 taels to buy Zhang Zhou's porridge and get the head. People who have nothing to do with this matter, go and don't stop them."

"Try." He Xiaoyun sneered.

Embroidered spring knife unsheathed.

"Wait! I have something to say!"

"Look at this person, an official, a unicorn outfit embroidered with spring knives, the head of a thousand households in Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, with countless soldiers under his hands, and murderers like numbness. If you shoot at this kind of person, won't your hand shake?"

"I'm a civil servant with a fart soldier."

The air was silent for a while.

He Xiaoyun put the knife on his waist and hid Zhang Zhouconge behind him. Zhang Zhouconge drew his sword and lowered his wrists, just to probe out from He Xiaoyun's left shoulder.The two put on a fighting stance, and there was a waterway behind them to escape. Although there were many people on the other side, they did not dare to move forward for a while, and the scene was deadlocked.

"Brother, what are you doing? You should speak ruthlessly next, pretending to be vicious of some high-ranking officials and giants to scare them. The atmosphere is so tense, and the opposite is fierce and vicious. It seems that we are both weak and shameless."

Zhang Zhouporridge whispered in He Xiaoyun's ear.

"Someone is going to chop you up, shake your hands!"

He Xiaoyun rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and slashed with the knife. The first two were forced to take a step back by the momentum, and the weapons only had time to protect their chests. The crowd screamed, groaned, and commanded for a while.Zhang Zhou Porridge was still in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, several weapons were already in front of him, so he had to retreat while blocking, and suddenly he was kicked in the lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but howl in pain.As soon as the strength weakened, the stance dissipated. The swordsman immediately held the big sword in front of him. Under the force, Zhang Zhouconge was shocked, his hand tightened, and the wound on his palm was cracked. Watching the second knife held high and chased.

A close call.

A small arrow pierced through the neck of the swordsman, Zhang Zhoucong bent his knees forward, supported the body of the swordsman with his back, hid it and turned next, picked up the sword in his left hand, and threw out the body by turning his posture, and re-created it. Standing sword in front of you.He Xiaoyun kept slashing and parrying with his right hand. He held a magic small crossbow in his left and rushed towards Zhang Zhou Congee. He didn't have time to reload his arrows. , the right hand knife is retracted in front of the body, the back of the knife is attached to the left shoulder, squatting and stomping, gaining momentum.

forward!
cut!
A crescent moon shines on the river.

He Xiaoyun turned the knife out, his right arm stretched out horizontally in the air, the knife turned with him, and the tip of the Embroidered Spring knife drew a very beautiful arc.The number of people behind him, weapons, offensive and even their lives, will be gone under one slash.

Zhang Zhouporridge immediately stepped forward and placed it behind He Xiaoyun. The two met, and the noise suddenly fell silent. No one dared to go forward. There were only a few faint groans left, but in a few breaths, there were more on the ground. these corpses.Zhang Zhouporg looked at the blood all over the floor, and forcibly held back his nausea.

"Brother, you are a fierce person."

"Fuck off."

"That, I was really scared to death just now, thank you brother for saving my life. But, ah no, brother, can you give a reminder or something, it was really sudden just now, I really wasn't mentally prepared." Zhang Zhoucong stared at the scattered corpses on the ground, suddenly dizzy in his head, and vomited with an "Ouch".

"Anyone who can talk?" He Xiaoyun took a step forward.

"The idea is thorny, withdraw." The people in front of them carried the corpse on their backs and scattered.

He Xiaoyun didn't stop, took out a piece of gray cloth and carefully wiped the knife into the scabbard, "Advance and retreat in an orderly manner, it's troublesome, the journey is dangerous." Lifting Zhang Zhouzhou porridge lying on his stomach, the two met their eyes, "2000 taels? "

"Brother, you, ah, don't!"

Starry night sky.

"Master, you are riding too fast, it makes me dizzy."

Ye Shu pulled the reins, the horse gradually stopped, first jumped off the horse and then hugged He Chun Xia down, helped him to the side of the road and sat down to check the pulse, He Chun Xia rolled his eyes, and put his other hand on Ye Shu's waist, wanting to take a long hatred and come out to play. Hit, pouted.

Ye Shu frowned and couldn't understand, "How could it be back to normal?"

"Where is the 24 longevity map? I still want to see it!"

"In the hands of Zhang Zhouporridge, he and your eldest brother went to the capital first to close his family's case." The two led the way and walked slowly along the road. "He is your junior brother now, and you have to treat him better in the future. My senior sister treated me back then."

"Mother?"

"Well, senior sister she, your mother her, she used to, alas... not to say."

"Master, you are very annoying sometimes!"

He Chun Xia was sleepy for a while, leaned back against the wind and fell back to sleep, Ye Shu took off his coat and put it on for her.

Sister, I suddenly miss you.

In fact, I had a good time with her, I don't know if I should miss you or not.

Miss you.

At this time, Yangzhou.

Looking at the entrance of the alley, at the entrance of Ye's house, a man in exquisite embroidered clothes was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun;

"Master, that person is still kneeling." He Chun Xia dismounted and jumped forward, trotted to the door, and saluted the embroidered man who was lying down, "Hello, Mr. Fourteen."

"Ah."

Ye Shu followed and dismounted, tied the reins at the door, and bowed to the man in a proper manner, "Sir."

"Humph!"

He Chunxia leaned into Ye Shu's ear and whispered, "Looks like, Mistress has lost her money again." Ye Shu smiled wryly and snorted, and then gave Mr. Fourteen a nod.Mr. Fourteen obviously heard the whisper and showed a disdainful expression, and then he said, "Your family owes me enough money to buy half of the capital. It's a trivial matter, when will I investigate this. I played cards until midnight yesterday, and I won. I got a little money and got carried away. I made a big noise and asked Xiao Wang to get up for a late night snack, which woke me up too. Although I also ate a bowl of this late night snack, people don’t have a normal routine. Is this good for the body? Is it good for emotions? It's not good."

"Also, this kid at the door quickly gets rid of me, I put it here to bask in the sun every day, he kneels here every day, people who don't know look at it, and they think I'm some vicious-hearted master here to punish people, this is also very not good."

Ye Shu nodded in agreement, walked up to the man and opened his mouth.

"Jiang Fan, I asked you before, I'll ask you again, learn the sword, why."

"revenge."

"How long have you been kneeling for?"

"29 days, five hours a day."

"Go back when you kneel enough."

"bump."

A muffled sound.

"bump."

"bump."

"bump."

The stone steps turn red.

Jiang Fan's eyes were wet, he knocked heavily on the slate floor, his forehead was already cracked, and the blood smeared on his face along the opened flesh.

He Chunxia felt uncomfortable hearing this voice, she quietly stretched out her hand to hold Ye Shu's clothes, Ye Shu turned around and stepped forward and was pulled, turned her head sideways, her eyes slanted to see He Chunxia's little hand, and she reached out to put He Chunxia aside.

"Disgusting." Mr. Fourteen, who was lying reclining at the door, got up and spoke, without saying much, and walked straight into the courtyard.Ye Shu turned sideways, the strength of his outstretched hand changed, and he gently straightened up for He Chunxia, ​​with his hands folded and his back slightly nodding, he waited.After a while, Mr. slipped out a thin bamboo clothes pole, folded it in half, and threw it in front of Jiang Fan, then found a comfortable position to continue basking in the sun.

Ye Shu sighed and waved at Jiang Fan as he walked, signaling to follow him in.Jiang Fan's tears and blood were mixed on his face. He lay on his stomach and picked up the bamboo pole on the ground. He suddenly stood up. His legs and feet were numb, and his head was dizzy. After climbing a few steps, I saw Mr. Fourteen who was basking in the sun in his blurry vision. He adjusted his posture a little bit and knelt down, and gave three bows to Mr.After finishing the bow, his body relaxed a little, and then he staggered up and entered the door.

"Miss Wang, get some water to wash this kid's face." The Ye family entered the courtyard three times, and the courtyard was much more spacious than usual. There were trees in one corner, tea in one corner, and lotus flowers in the other pond.In the middle of the open space, the ground is flat, the soil is soft, and martial arts are practiced here. "Come on." A woman answered in a low voice, and walked into the courtyard from the back room, with curly hair, a wooden hairpin, coarse clothes, plain clothes, neatly trimmed nails, slightly thick knuckles, dry live hands.

"Wang Ma, where's Juan'er?" He Chun Xia looked behind her, but no one was there. Wang Ma took the towel and water basin, scooped water in the water tank, and placed it in front of the tea table. "It's New Year's Eve, Juaner and Mrs. Songbai go out to buy something, don't worry, I'll come back to play with you later." Wang Ma walked unhappily, but her movements were quick, and she went to the pot on the kitchen stove and scooped a spoonful of hot water. In the basin, try the water temperature with your hand, if it is suitable, dip a towel and hand it to Jiang Fan. "This kid, finally entered the door. I saw you kneeling like this before, you are also a pitiful person, learn from Master Ye, do you hear me?" Wang Ma's voice was weak and gentle.

"I don't teach him, he is going to take revenge, fight for his life, and waste what I have." Ye Shu waved his hand, "Let the spring and summer come, Miss Wang, please make a pot of tea, we just sit here and have a look."

He Chun Xia jumped over and asked to pass a bamboo pole, first tilted his head to look at Ye Shu, "Thorn." Nodding, raised his eyebrows to signal Jiang Fan to do it first.Jiang Fan took a stance, roared and stabbed straight ahead with the bamboo pole, his heart ached, he was stabbed by the tip of He Chunxia's pole, the rear came first, she gently handed it, and Jiang Fan took two steps back.

"Hurry up, slow down." Wang Ma took the tea set and sat down to boil the water, took a small fan, and Ye Shu used a teaspoon to lift a teaspoon of tea.

Jiang Fan inhaled, raised his strength and stabbed again. He Chun Xia did not move, raised his hand, turned his wrist inward, and pressed the tip of the pole to her side. She took a step forward slowly, and the bamboo pole in her hand ran along Jiang Fan's pole. Jiang Fan's neck was slightly cold as he swiped upwards.Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, made progress, and played close to his life. He Chunxia raised his eyebrows, shook his head at him, turned his wrists down, tucked his arms into his chest, and pushed up gently, the tip of the pole stopped two days in front of Jiang Fan's throat. Inch.She shook her wrist and motioned Jiang Fan to step back.

"Master, he doesn't seem to know martial arts."

"I see, let the gentleman come in for tea and sit down."

He Chun Xia threw the bamboo pole and went out, put his hands on Mr. Shi Shi's shoulders and came in, "Sorry." The two sat down, and Jiang Fan picked up the bamboo pole on the ground, put it aside, and stepped forward to sit.

"I didn't let you sit." Ye Shu opened his mouth and poured tea for everyone. The tea color is green and silver, the tender color is bright, the fragrance is tall and long, and the best Yangxian Xueya.After pouring no one to drink, they all stared at Mr. Fourteen. He raised the glass and put it again, "Hot." Wang Ma pulled out a small stove from her sleeve and put it in He Chunxia's palm, covering the erythema on He Chunxia's hand. , touched the sword cocoon on He Chun Xia's hand, "Girls are going to marry in the future, this hand can't be thick, it looks cold, practice the sword for a while to warm up your body, don't practice crazy."

"I'm not married."

"Not enlightened." Wang Ma made a gesture to stab He Chunxia's forehead, He Chunxia did not avoid it, touched it with her fingertips, and only pressed it lightly.

Mr. Fourteen tapped his fingers to test the temperature on the body of the cup, raised his cup to drink tea, and nodded.Everyone took a cup of tea one after another.Mr. Fourteen waved to Jiang Fan who was standing beside him, "Drink tea, listen to the story, come and tell."

"I am a native of Beijing, and when I was young, the Manchus entered the customs. There were wars everywhere. Only my father and I were left at home. My father was a jade craftsman and a craftsman. When I ascended the throne, my dynasty was stable and prosperous. My father also planned an errand in the imperial supervisor. My father had a close friend who later made a fortune and became a local magistrate in Nanjing. In order to let me enter the Nanguo Zijian, he adopted me. The two places are separated. Two months ago, in a letter from the capital, my father ran into the little prince Yu Danfeng and was killed. My father was a very weak and kind-hearted person. After an obituary, it disappeared like this. There must be hidden feelings in it. The little prince is powerful. Afraid of affecting my stepfather's career, I have cut ties with him, the stories of the sword masters have been passed down by word of mouth, and they have been admired for a long time.

Jiang Fan's eyes blushed, but Mr. Fourteen turned his head to look at everyone and smirked, "I am the concubine of the previous dynasty, and Yu Gufeng is my brother-in-law. Although I don't know where this thing Yu Danfeng came from, it should be counted as me." Looking at Wang Ma, Wang Ma blinked her eyes and tilted her head to think, "I don't know how many sons of the aunt's son." Wang Ma frowned, nodded hesitantly, and Mr. Fourteen smiled with satisfaction, "You want to Kill me, a distant relative."

Jiang Fan was stunned and didn't know what to do. Mr. Fourteen stood up and patted, "It's okay, boy, I appreciate you very much. Do you have any money?" Jiang Fan took out a few small silver notes and a few taels of silver from his inner pocket. , "It's all here." Mr. Fourteen copied the silver note and handed it to Wang Ma, "Take it to buy food." The broken silver threw back to Jiang Fan, "Food and lodging at your own expense."

Ye Shu was dissatisfied, "I don't accept all apprentices!"

"Don't you accept it?"

He Chun Xia was dissatisfied, "I'm the closed-door disciple that I agreed, and it's okay to accept the two fools of Zhang Zhou Porridge. Why should I accept another one!"

"What are you rushing about?"

"I'm afraid they will grab my Su Xue sword."

Snapped!
The teacup shattered on the ground, Ye Shu's face turned cold, "The name of the sword master is both honor and responsibility, and it is a banner standing in the rivers and lakes. How can you joke like this!" Taking out the veil to wipe, Ye Shu's eyes were white, but knowing that he was serious, he couldn't open his mouth, so he stretched out his feet and touched Mr. Fourteen who was standing.

"That's not right, but there's nothing wrong with a girl's family, it's not bad to have a simple mind. You're used to it, such a smart girl, you're afraid she won't understand in the future." Mr. Fourteen patted Ye Shu on the shoulder and pointed. Pointing to the ground, "Little Wang, clean up." He moved and tapped He Chun Xia's head, "If you don't want to accept it, don't accept it. Take the ruler and serve tea to your master after you've beaten it."

He Chun Xia took the ruler and spread out his left hand obediently. Ye Shu picked up the ruler and, reluctantly, handed it to Mr. Fourteen.Mr. Fourteen copied the ruler, "Pop!" It was extremely heavy, and her palm cracked. He Chun Xia gritted her teeth and did not make a sound. Black blood oozes from her palm, and her blush ripples from the wound.

"Huh? This?"

　In the Ming Dynasty in history, banknotes and coins were only used in the early stage, and there was basically no banknotes in circulation in the middle and later stages.Alternate history, don't dwell on the details.
