That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 460

The sword energy has become a cage, and it is still shrinking inward.

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard had to show his figure, and his sleeves shook violently suddenly, forcing the sword energy that was pressing every step of the way to stop abruptly.

Xu Beiyou raised his sword and pointed at the master of the Dark Guard House, with a cold expression on his face.

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard did not retreat but advanced, a dagger appeared in his palm again, and he ran straight towards Mr. Xu.

The short distance was only a few feet, and it arrived almost instantly. The "treasurer" of the secret guard was within three feet in front of Xu Beiyou. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous. Wei's "treasurer" used a short sword, which was not good for Xu Beiyou in close combat.

This is already the last desperate fight of the "treasurer" of the hidden guard.

Unexpectedly, the short sword easily bounced off the blocking long sword, and then easily pierced Xu Beiyou's heart.

When the blade really touched Xu Beiyou's skin, the "treasurer" of the dark guard was determined.

But at the next moment, his face suddenly changed drastically, and without the slightest hesitation, he was about to draw his sword and retreat.

But Xu Beiyou didn't give him this chance, he used his middle dantian to firmly lock the energy, so that he couldn't pull back at all.

Xu Beiyou leaned close and slammed into his arms, then hit his chest hard with the hilt of his backhand.

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, his face turned white instantly, and a big mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth.

The blood sprayed directly on Xu Beiyou's front lapel.

Xu Beiyou didn't care, and then there was another thunderbolt, which directly dented the chest of the "treasurer" of the hidden guard, which was extremely terrifying.

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard was really desperate this time, he never imagined that a dignified young man who was expected to inherit the throne of Jianzong suzerain and even ascend to the world would let him stab his chest with a sword, and then dared to put himself in the Reborn after death, on the contrary, made him inescapable, inescapable.

The old secret guard whose life was hanging by a thread said hoarsely: "I heard about Mr. Xu's trapping and killing Zhang Zhaonu before. At that time, you were just entering the realm of the earth fairy, so I have always wondered how you were in Zhang Zhaonu's life. I dragged it into the slave's hand until Murong Xuanyin personally shot it, and today I finally understand."

Xu Beiyou now has the chance to win, and he doesn't mind talking nonsense with this opponent whose real name is unknown, "If Zhang Zhaonu makes a full-strength attack, I will naturally not be able to survive a single move, but it's a pity that Zhang Zongzhu is too conceited. You can capture me alive with your hands, but in the end, the boat capsizes in the gutter, and you have lost your own life."

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard smiled and said with difficulty: "Mr. Xu has not taken action for a long time. Instead, he said these words to me. Aren't you afraid that you will capsize in the gutter? It was Zhang Zhaonu in Kunshan who stumbled yesterday. It is hard to guarantee that today is not the future of Jianzong Little Lord."

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "I don't need your Excellency to care about this, Xu has his own concerns, but Xu still has a question that he would like to ask your Excellency, what exactly is Duanmu Ruisheng planning? It seems that we should not see him now the point."

The "treasurer" of the hidden guard shook his head and said, "If you really wait until the day Mr. Xu ascends to the world, then what's the point of going to see him again?"

Xu Beiyou let out a groan, and easily blocked the last fire thunderbolt hidden by the "treasurer" of the hidden guard, and then pierced him with a sword.

The old dark guard, who was already at the end of his strength, died immediately.

Xu Beiyou took Tian Lan back into the sword box, and then laid his body flat on the ground. After some searching, he found two sets of sleeve arrows, two pairs of small crossbows, a short sword, and a firework that was supposed to be used for communication. Canister, but Mie Shen Jian and Huo Lei Zi are all used up, and there is also a token representing identity, with the words "Dark Guard Fu Shen" written on it, I don't know what it means.

Xu Beiyou simply wrapped these things up and put them into the sword box.It has to be said that the sword box he is carrying now, Xumi mustard seeds, is extremely mysterious. Although it is not comparable to the exquisite pagoda that claims to have 33 heavens inside, the universe inside is also huge. Lord Dao Dao of the Qing Dynasty used this sword box to collect 30 swords from the Daomen, and then carried 30 swords alone, and traveled tens of thousands of miles to the 36 islands in the East China Sea.

After chasing and fighting, Xu Beiyou's black robe was already stained with blood, and there were even many tear marks, so he could only grab a plain white robe from the stockade and replace it with the black robe. A bit gloomy and cold, a bit more elegant and dusty.

Xu Beiyou slowly descended the mountain with the sword box on his back, but he didn't intend to go to Ruyang Mansion, but planned to go directly to Shendu.There, he wanted to meet someone, Xiao Quji, Prince of Liangwu County.

Xiao Quji himself has no meritorious service, nor is there anything outstanding, and he is able to achieve today's status as the county king entirely by relying on his family's kindness, so he naturally became the bottom of the county kings.

His greatest hobby is sword practice, and his long-cherished wish in his life is to become a sword fairy, and he admires the great sword fairy Shangguan Xianchen the most. I don't have much qualifications, and after so many years of practice, I still don't make it into the mainstream. Not to mention that I haven't touched the threshold of a sword fairy, even being called a swordsman is very reluctant.

However, this King of Liang Wu County is very much liked by His Majesty for some reason. He always ranks among the best in rewards every New Year’s Day, and was even second only to King Xiao Bai of Qi once. On the side of the feudal town, these years have been really peaceful and comfortable.

However, what is unknown to outsiders is that His Royal Highness is actually quite ambitious. Although His Majesty likes him very much today, his status in the eyes of the emperor is not very high. It is just that there are a lot of gold and silver rewards. Up to now he is still wearing a blue satin python robe, not to mention compared with Xiao Bai's black python robe, even compared to the other four plain robes. For so many years, His Majesty has never changed the color of his clothes, which is almost becoming His heart disease.

Therefore, Xiao Quji's ambition is also very simple, that is, he hopes that one day he can wear a black prince's python robe in a dignified manner.

When Xu Beiyou passed by Shendu last time, he was not qualified to talk to Xiao Quji at all, but Xu Beiyou is different now, he is already qualified to sit on an equal footing with a Xiao County king like Gongsun Zhongmou back then.

The reason why Xu Beiyou wanted to meet Xiao Quji this time was not only to inherit his master's connections, but he also had his own considerations.

According to the laws of Daqi, at the end of each year, the emperor would summon some of the princes of the clan to return to the imperial capital from the fief to spend the new year together. Among the many princes of the Xiao family, Wei Wang Xiao Jin has not been called back to Beijing for 50 years. Beng, the queen mother refuted King Wei's request to enter the capital to guard the spirit, and Qi Wang Xiaobai was on the list every year after he was granted the feudal vassal of Qizhou. The feudal king with the most number of times will be rewarded a lot.

Xu Beiyou hurried all the way on foot. It took him more than three days to get out of the range of Funiu Mountain, and another half a day. The city of God is already in sight.

When he came last time, the peonies in Shendu City were in full bloom. It could be said that the city was full of peonies. Only a few daisy bushes remained.
