Chapter 1 One person, one knife, one bird
Great Wei, Yun'an City.

The showers in early summer are like a flower-picking thief who breaks into a boudoir at night. When he comes, the wind and rain are violent, and when he leaves, he leaves in a hurry, leaving only the muddy water stains in the gullies, and the rainy pear blossoms on the tree.

When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the streets of the capital became more and more lively, people came out of their homes one after another, and peddlers peddled along the street:

"steamed stuffed bun--"

"Sell coal..."

……

Amidst the noise all over the street, a convoy slowly approached from the intersection of Tianshui Bridge.

The carriage is behind, and in front are thirteen warriors riding chariots, all wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, with horizontal knives behind their waists, and they are full of dust.

In an important place in the capital, a team with such a strong sense of Jianghu is really rare. Many passers-by looked sideways, but they saw that the leader of the team was a young man.

The man was wearing a black robe under his coir raincoat, and a big white bird stood on his shoulder. He was tall and fair-skinned. His eyes were dark and bright, and his handsome face was even more sharp with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.

"Wow—mother, look, that brother is so handsome!"

"Shh~ don't shout, are you ashamed?"

"That bird is so fat~"

"grumble?"

"Hey? I can still understand human speech!"

……

The young men in black seemed to have never heard of the compliments from the young women and girls on the street, and they led the team to the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau at the end of the street without squinting.

All the shops in Tianshui Bridge had family crests with the word 'Pei' hanging on them, as did the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

The family who can buy a street in the capital where every land is very expensive is obviously not a small family, full of style, outside the tall gate of the escort agency with yellow wood and green tiles, there are often two escorts standing outside the facade.

Seeing the unknown horse team approaching the gate, a bodyguard stepped forward and bowed his hands, and made a quack salute:

"Who is your Excellency?"

"The Nightmare Hall."

The escort looked bewildered, and glanced at the impressive warriors:

"I have never heard of your name. Are you here to transport darts, or..."

"Kick the pavilion."

"..."

After saying this, the street was silent.

All the passers-by who were wandering around gathered around, even the wonton vendors on the street put down their spoons, wiped their hands on their aprons, and stood on tiptoes to look at it:
"what happened?"

"Kicking the pavilion, this scene is really rare in the capital..."

……

The two bodyguards outside the bodyguard bureau saw that the young man in black was not friendly, and their faces darkened.

If it were an ordinary stunned young man, he should have spoken out, but the thirteen riders outside the door all carried knives, and their posture was like that of destroying the door, so they were not easy to provoke. The guard looked more polite, and cupped his hands and said:

"The capital is an important place, and private fighting is strictly prohibited. Our boss is a serious businessman and abides by the law. We can't handle the matter of kicking the hall. If you have a dispute with the boss, you can go to the grievance drum, and let's go to the yamen to reason..."

After saying this, the onlookers immediately began to boo:

"what……"

"For those who are still practicing martial arts, they have been knocking on their door. Is it reasonable for you to ask someone to report to the official?"

"Yes……"

……

The young man in black untied his saber from his waist, threw it to the person behind him, and said with bare hands:
"Let your escorts come out, and I will leave after a fight."

Seeing the neighbors surrounded, the bodyguard showed displeasure, and a person next to him ran to the side of the street, looking like he wanted to report to the police.

Unfortunately, just a few steps away, he was stopped by the swordsman behind the young man in black.

"Hey, You……"

As soon as this move was made, seven or eight people rushed out from behind the gate of the escort agency, armed with knives and guns, with angry faces.

Inside the Escort, there was also a voice full of spirit:

"Boy, it's fine to be young and energetic, but you have to brighten your eyes..."

Everyone looked around, but saw a man walking out of the main room of the Escort's compound, wearing a brocade robe, with a burly figure and a right hand full of calluses, spinning two iron walnuts.

Kaka…

Seeing this, the bodyguard outside the door hurriedly called out:
"Master Chen, this kid is causing trouble."

The onlookers' eyes became hot, and they said in a hurry:

"Chen Biao has come out."

"This handsome brother won't be beaten to death?"

"Who dares to kill people in the capital? At most, he vomits blood."

"So handsome, it hurts to vomit blood..."

Swah——

Before everyone could say a word, they suddenly heard a soft sound of breaking wind from the street.

Many bodyguards and passers-by felt a blur in front of their eyes, the young man in black who was sitting on the horse didn't know how to use his strength, so he soared into the sky, jumped over the door of the bodyguard bureau, which was more than ten feet high, and smashed into the body of the bodyguard bureau.

Chen Biao, who had just walked out of the room, was startled by the scene, instinctively threw two iron walnuts, but was swept away by the sleeve of the young man in black robes, and then the goshawk pounced on the rabbit and caught him with one claw. neck.

bang——

In the blink of an eye, the tall and burly Chen Biao was pushed against the doorpost behind him, knocking off a few black tiles on the eaves.

pat-

The tile fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces, which shocked more than a dozen bodyguards in the courtyard, their eyes were horrified.

Chen Biao's face turned pale in horror, he didn't even have the intention of resisting, and shouted anxiously:

"Wait a minute, young man! I'm just an escort, if you have a grudge, go find your boss, don't come at me..."

Being able to speak, obviously did not kill him.

The young man in black grabbed Chen Biao's neck with one hand, and turned his head to signal an old swordsman outside the door:
"His name is Yang Chao. From now on he will be the head of the bodyguard, and you will be the second child. Do you understand?"

Chen Biao was puzzled, but he didn't dare to answer back when he was pinched by the neck, he just spread his hands and said:

"Young man, this is a formal business of paying business taxes on time, not a river and lake wharf. My boss disagrees, and even if you beat me to death, I can't make the decision..."

"Father Pei Yuanfeng, the younger brother of your master, asked me to send you the property of the family. From now on, they will be members of the Zhenyuan Security Bureau. If there is any mistreatment, you are the only one to ask."

Chen Biao was taken aback for a moment, looked at the young man in black, and said in surprise:
"You are the second master's son?! Why is your surname Ye?"

Ye Jingtang didn't answer. After finishing speaking, he took out a stack of official tickets in denominations of one hundred taels, patted Chen Biao on his chest, turned and left.

Outside the door, the neighbors in the neighborhood were stunned, whispering to each other:
"What a handsome skill..."

"Is this the young master of the Pei family?"

"It sounds like... There used to be a second child in the Pei family, it happened 30 years ago..."

……

The twelve bodyguards who followed had complicated expressions. Head of bodyguard Yang handed the knife to Ye Jingtang who walked out the door, and persuaded:

"Young master, why are you doing this? The old master likes to talk about wine, so you don't have to take it seriously. Where can you go when you leave the house?"

"The rivers and lakes."

Ye Jingtang took the saber and put it back on his waist, let the pet bird rest on his shoulder, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and took a light breath.

The figure seems to be free and easy, but in those clear eyes, there is a touch of confusion of 'the world is big, but there is nowhere to live'.

It has been 18 years since I came to this dynasty named 'Great Wei'.

When he was two or three years old, his memory gradually came back to life. Ye Jingtang lived in a bodyguard agency in the border town of Dawei. He was an abandoned child picked up by his boss Pei Yuanfeng on his way to the bodyguard. Because of his loud voice and loud crying, he was named "Ye Jingtang Church', received as a righteous son.

Pei Yuanfeng was injured in a fight when he was young. He was never married and had no children. He was very concerned about the growth of his adopted son—beating him three times a day, and doubling it on New Years and holidays. Soap's famous Ye Jingtang became a gold medalist in the Escort.

Just last month, Pei Yuanfeng became an alcoholic and died on the table after getting drunk.

Ye Jingtang took care of the funeral and found a letter among Pei Yuanfeng's belongings.

The letter was written in advance to prevent accidents, and it only said three things:
One: Pei Yuanfeng is not an ordinary person, he used to be a well-known master of rivers and lakes.I wanted to teach him the 'Peerless Sword Art' after he became an adult to see his character clearly, but if he could read the letter, it meant that he didn't have such a blessing.With each other as father and son, he had to find a way to practice the sword by himself, and seek revenge on the person who injured Pei Yuanfeng back then.

Pei Yuanfeng was gone, so it didn't matter if he was a real master or not.It is only natural for a son to avenge his father, and Ye Jingtang has no objection to this.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he would have no place to learn advanced martial arts, Pei Yuanfeng also told him a secret, which is the second thing - when the previous dynasty destroyed the country, Pei Yuanfeng's master took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace and stole the "Dragon Calling Picture" fragments. roll.

It is rumored that "The Picture of Minglong" is a supreme secret book, which records nine kinds of strange secret arts. If you get one of them, your ability will surpass ordinary people. If you learn it all, you can live forever and become immortal.

But at that time, the fight was too fierce, so he didn't take it out of the palace, and buried it on the spot under a ginkgo tree in the 'harem'. Pei Yuanfeng told him to go into the palace to get it if he had the chance.

When Ye Jingtang saw this, he was quite speechless.

Judging from the description, "Song of the Dragon" should be the "cheat trick" that he has been looking forward to for 18 years.

He naturally wants this kind of unique treasure in the world, but if he is buried in the 'harem' of the imperial city, if he is an old man to get it, can he get in as a eunuch from the palace?
If you want to practice this skill, you must first go to the palace?
It's like not talking about this matter. The last thing that has the greatest impact on Ye Jingtang:

Pei Yuanfeng left home when he was young and never came back. He felt that he owed his parents and asked him to sell the Escort property and send it to Pei's family far away in the capital, without leaving him a penny.

If Ye Jingtang hadn't read the letter, he wouldn't have known about his lonely adoptive father and a brother in the same room.

Anyway, father and son are like one another, he has never been filial, and he has been busy at home for so many years, so he is directly asked to leave the house and give the family property to relatives, which really doesn't treat him like a son.

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely ignore this letter, since no one else would know about it anyway.

But Ye Jingtang is different. His previous life has long been in the past. In this world, he has only one relative, who has no blood relationship with each other. To be able to pick him up and raise him is already showing his kindness and righteousness to him. He didn't even have time to repay his filial piety.

In the end, Ye Jingtang complied with his will and sold the bodyguard bureau in Bianguan Town for 1000 taels of silver. He brought twelve bodyguards and their families who were willing to leave, and traveled all the way to the capital of Wei Dynasty.

It is impossible for a seven-foot man in Ye Jingtang to live under the fence.

Now that the old man under his adoptive father has been settled, and the family property is handed over to the Pei family, Ye Jingtang will bid farewell to the past completely, and become a helpless prodigal son who goes with the situation.

I don't know where I came from before, and I don't know where I will go back. There is only one person, one bird and one knife left.When you talk about going to 'Jianghu', you can stand at the intersection and look around blankly. Where is 'Jianghu'?
Ye Jingtang held the black horse in his hand, passed through the bustling crowd, and walked along the street, aimlessly and somewhat absent-minded.

But just after walking a few steps, two crisp sounds suddenly came from beside him.

"Dangdang-"

A pole supporting the sliding window fell from the second floor and rolled to his feet.

Looking up at the window on the second floor, I saw a charming and charming figure falling into my eyes...
