Chapter 165

clap la la...

The sky was getting dark, and the pouring rain fell on a school in the west of the city. The dozen or so schoolchildren who couldn't go home were sitting in the dormitory neatly, writing today's homework.

On the side of the academy, in the master's resting room, Nangong Shaofeng was dressed as a Confucian scholar, standing at the window looking towards the direction of Mingyu Tower, with his hands clasped tightly behind his back.

Dressed in a white robe, Liu Qiansheng, the veteran boxing champion, was also dressed as a master, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and lightly tapped the cup with his fingers, causing slight ripples in the tea:

"It takes up to a quarter of an hour from the time of attack to the escape from the capital. Are the preparations in other places sure to be foolproof?"

Nangong Shaofeng turned around and sat down beside the tea table. Although his brows were serious, his tone was calm:
"The city gate officials at Kaiyuan Gate have already bribed and transferred most of the guards away. Hundreds of traps have been arranged on the retreat route. Xiao Yuan and the others are already ready to go. As long as Cao Aning touches Cao Qiansui and successfully rescues him, White-haired listening, eight-armed Tibetans, Ye Jingtang and even the door gods in the palace will definitely go to help; by then, there will be only a few imperial guards left in the Yunninghou Mansion, and fifteen minutes will be enough to rescue Sheng Shangyuan and escape from the city."

Liu Qiansheng held the teacup and thought for a while:

"How much younger is Cao Qiansui than this old man, and he has been imprisoned in a dungeon for ten years, is it sure that he will make the whole city feel like an enemy?"

Nangong Shaofeng nodded: "It is said that Eunuch Cao has practiced the four dragon-sounding pictures of golden scales, jade bones, dragon elephants, and evergreens for a period of sixty years. , and can hold back countless masters for a long time."

Liu Qiansheng, who used to be the champion of boxing in the past, is now very old, and his body has also suffered secret injuries. He was very interested in the "Picture of Standing in Beauty, Picture of Bathing in Fire", and asked:
"Changqing picture, it is said that the 'Qi' of 'Jing Qi Shen' can be practiced. This picture has other effects besides youthful appearance?"

Nangong Shaofeng, as a member of the prince, is quite familiar with this kind of court secrets, and explained:

"People are born of qi, and qi is driven by fascination. Nourishing qi and whole mind can be the way. Practicing the Changqing map every day, the body and organs will remain strong every day, and supplemented with the three pictures of 'muscles, bones and skin', the effect can be imagined. As long as Cao Qiansui comes out with a little bit of strength, the court will have to cut off the time before he can be locked up, enough time for me to leave."

Liu Qiansheng thought for a while, and was a little puzzled: "Why didn't the court just kill this kind of living god that no one can do anything about?"

"Since the founding of the country, Cao Qiansui has guarded the Taizu. After the death of the Taizu, he guarded the emperor. In terms of loyalty, civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are not worthy of him to carry shoes."

Nangong Shaofeng sighed softly: "Besides, the picture of calling dragons has been lost. Only Cao Qiansui knows so many pictures of calling dragons. It is not a problem for Cao Qiansui to live to be a hundred years old, and the older he gets, the more powerful he is. Where can I find the second one if he kills him?" The empress should still want to persuade Eunuch Cao to be loyal to her, otherwise Cao Qiansui would not have been removed from her post as eunuch of the palm seal."

Liu Qiansheng was stunned, and didn't ask any more questions.

Nangong Shaofeng chatted with Cao Qiansui for a while, but he felt that the plan was extremely successful, so he felt more at ease, and continued:
"According to the time calculation, it's almost there. As long as the drums of Mingyu Tower sound later, all the masters in the city will rush to Mingyu Tower, let's..."

Tread-

While talking, footsteps sounded at the door of the school.

Nangong Shaofeng and Liu Qiansheng suppressed their words at the same time and looked at each other.

Nangong Shaofeng hesitated for a while, put down the teacup, and walked out of the room with a ruler like an ordinary teacher, and came to the door of the school.

slam-la-

It rained heavily.

The light in Qingshi Lane outside the school was dim, and three figures stood in front of the door.

Nangong Shaofeng looked up, but saw two people behind him, dressed in black and green policeman's robes, with official knives hanging from their waists and bamboo hats on their heads, standing still in the rain, motionless.

The leader is a stern man in a black official robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown jade. On the side of the jade inlaid belt is a "Jing" waist plate. He holds a black oil paper umbrella in his right hand, and his left hand is behind his back. Hanging a straight knife, standing upright, his demeanor looks gentle and refined, but the spirit and spirit shown in his eyes are like two glaring sharp knives.

Although Nangong Shaofeng didn't see Ye Jingtang's face when he fought Ye Jingtang last time, it's hard to find a second one in Beijing for his almost 'aggressive' handsome appearance, so he recognized this new statue at first sight. The black ya evil star that came out.

Nangong Shaofeng secretly thought something was wrong, subconsciously slowed down by half a minute, but his expression remained the same, he came to the door and cupped his hands:
"It turns out that the Lord of the Heiya is visiting, dare to ask the Lord?"

"The Nightmare Hall."

"Oh, so it's Master Ye, Jiu Yang."

Ye Jingtang took a step forward, stepped onto the white stone steps of the school, and looked at the school building inside:

"Mr. Nangong is a disciple of Prince Wu, why did he come here to teach?"

With a smile on his face, Nangong Shaofeng raised his hand to signal Ye Jingtang to enter:

"I am a teacher in Wuzhou. His Royal Highness is an adult, and I can't teach anymore. I have nothing to do at home, so I set up a school in the city to teach children from poor families in the surrounding area."

Ye Jingtang put away the umbrella, walked in slowly, and looked at the tidy courtyard:
"Mr. Nangong's virtues are admirable. If I met a master like Mr. Nangong when I was young, I wouldn't end up in a mixed martial arts practice, fighting and killing all day in fear."

"Hehe. Master Ye put on this robe at such a young age, it would be too embarrassing for me to say that."

Nangong Shaofeng stood in front of him and looked at the two students in the dormitory:

"Make a cup of tea for your husband."

"Ok sir."

Two eleven or twelve-year-old schoolchildren stood up quickly.

Ye Jingtang raised his finger slightly: "No need. It's just a matter of routine to come and take a look. It's getting dark, why don't you finish school?"

Nangong Shaofeng signaled the weather: "It's raining heavily, and many children didn't bring umbrellas. Let them go back after the rain stops, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold."

Ye Jingtang tilted his head to look at the police behind him:

"Get some umbrellas. Children are growing, and it's not a good thing to read on an empty stomach."

"promise."

A black Yamen catcher behind him bowed his hands and ran out of the alley.

Nangong Shaofeng had a calm demeanor, but the hands in his sleeves rubbed lightly uncontrollably:
"Master Ye paid a sudden visit, but there is a case around?"

Ye Jingtang looked at the well-behaved students in the dormitory, and calmly said:

"Someone reported just now that there are people with unknown details in this block, and they came here for routine inspections."

"The old man has been here all afternoon, and he has never seen a new face passing by the door. Lizheng here lives at the corner of the alley. Would you like to ask?"

"It's raining too much, take shelter here."

Ye Jingtang turned his head to look at another policeman: "Go and call Lizheng over."

"promise."

The remaining one policeman also ran out.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn't intend to leave, Nangong Shaofeng's heart turned cold, but at a critical moment, if the other party didn't make trouble, he couldn't take the initiative to expose it, so he just casually said these innocuous gossips on the spot.

After waiting for a while, footsteps came from behind, and a policeman came in with a dozen umbrellas.

Ye Jingtang glanced at the sky, raised his hand to greet the schoolchildren:
"Okay, it's getting dark, let's all go back to eat."

The students in the dormitory put down their pens when they saw this, and looked at Nangong Shaofeng.

Nangong Shaofeng hesitated a little, then smiled as usual and said:
"After school, come over early tomorrow, if you don't finish your homework, you will be punished."

"Ok sir."

The students in the school dormitory stood up quickly, ran to the Heiya policeman, took the umbrellas one by one, and ran out the door happily.

tata tao~~
Ye Jingtang stood in front of the door, his hand was only a few feet away from the handle of the knife, watching every move of Nangong Shaofeng.

When the last hostage left safely, Ye Jingtang was about to launch an attack, but the city was far away, but there was a drumbeat:

dong dong dong-

The beat of the drum is the drum of war, warning the powerful enemy to attack, and rushing to help.

Ye Jingtang frowned slightly, and looked towards the direction where the drum sounded:
"Is it Mingyu Building?"

Standing behind, the Hei Ya catcher quickly, with a dignified expression:

"There are thieves robbing the prison, and the black yamen ask for help."

Nangong Shaofeng's heart was already in his throat, but when he heard the drumbeat, he felt relieved, knowing that Cao Aning had followed the plan and started to "smack east and west" to cover them up and attract firepower.

Nangong Shaofeng hastily said:

"Is something wrong with Heiya? This old man knows some martial arts, how about I go there with Master Ye to have a look?"

Ye Jingtang was ordered to clear up the thieves here, the imperial city was not bombed, and Benben did not send a signal to withdraw troops, so he had to follow the order to carry out the current task.

Ye Jingtang ignored the sound of drums in the distance, and looked up at the room behind the school:
"Liu Qiansheng, you are also an old man in the world, it is not decent to hide, come out."

?

Seeing that something happened to Hei Ya, Nangong Shaofeng didn't leave Ye Jingtang, and directly pointed out Liu Qiansheng, his face changed suddenly, knowing that there must be a big accident in a certain link of the plan.

"Master Ye, what do you mean? This place is only the old man..."

Ye Jingtang couldn't perceive Liu Qiansheng's location, but the information showed that Liu Qiansheng's hiding place was here. He didn't dare to enter the room rashly, so he turned his head to look at Nangong Shaofeng:

"Mr. Nangong's plan, I figured it out last month. I wanted to catch it all, so that you and His Highness Shizi are so cool today. You have already seen it all, why bother to pretend?"

Nangong Shaofeng's expression froze, his original composure was gone, he took half a step back, his hands hanging down his back.

Ye Jingtang stood with his saber in his hand, ignored Nangong Shaofeng, and looked at the door ahead:
"There is a saying in the world that 'a phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken'. I didn't believe it in the past, but now it seems that it is true. 30 years ago, a person who was ranked among the top ten in the world and reached the top with his fists and feet was always scared by my junior. It’s really not worthy of the reputation of previous years.”

"Boy, you didn't come alone."

In the room, there was a voice full of air.

Liu Qiansheng, who was dressed in a white robe, knew that he was surrounded and there was no point in hiding any more, so he slowly walked out from the side of the door and stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hall, separated from each other by the rain curtain in the courtyard:

"In terms of martial arts attainments, you are so far behind me that you won't be too young if you win a punch. Although this old man is over [-] years old, it's still hard to say whether you or I will be singled out. Bringing helpers to bully the few is not enough. Are you worthy of uttering wild words in front of this old man?"

Ye Jingtang said flatly: "I'm a messenger, and according to the law to catch thieves, how can there be a saying that the more bully the less?"

Swish-

After the words fell, there was a sound of breaking wind outside the courtyard wall.

Eight general arrests of the black yamen, armed with various weapons, landed around the school's wall, sealing the school's watertight.

Seeing this battle, Liu Qiansheng knew that Jianghu Road might have come to an end today, but the momentum was still strong. He raised his eyes and glanced around, and said disdainfully:

"Only by how many of you?"

The Nightmare Comes into the Rain:
"I am also from Liangzhou. I often hear old people talking about 'Hongshan bandits'. If I remember correctly, that is your former school. You can be regarded as a bandit by the common people. I guess you have done nothing good. You are decent, give up fearless resistance , kneel down and bring you to justice, or let the official personally send you away?"

Liu Qiansheng's eyelids twitched, there was obvious anger in his eyes, and he walked down the steps slowly:
"You boy, you will definitely become a military leader in the future. This old man has been in the world for eighty years. He became famous all over the world by defeating the previous generation of military leaders, and died at the hands of the next generation. It can be considered that he has completed a cycle of reincarnation. Why should he be afraid?"

"Your rivers and lakes road ended in Jiang Zhahu's hands 20 years ago, and now you are just a surviving gangster. Don't put gold on your face."

The rain fell silent, and the two didn't speak any more, they just stared into each other's eyes.

The chief arrester at the top of the wall knew how powerful Liu Qiansheng was. Seeing this, the four of them watched over Nangong Shaofeng, while the remaining four fell into the courtyard, holding spears, knives and shields and pressing against Liu Qiansheng's back, creating a one-hit kill for Ye Jingtang. Chance.

Tread...  

Liu Qiansheng was 80 years old, and he still punched these little soldiers one by one, but turned around and punched four times. With Ye Jingtang's strength, he could definitely give him two or three knives. He clenched his fist behind and gritted his teeth:
"Ye Jingtang, you are so invincible in victory, how dare you fight the old man openly?"

Ye Jingtang stood still three feet away, looking at the white-haired Liu Qiansheng in front of him, his eyes were indifferent, as if looking at an old fool.

A black government chief who went around to the rear saw the white-robed old man in the courtyard trying his best to guard against Ye Jingtang, and took the lead in attacking him, so he swung his left hand violently.

sassy-

Five snowflake darts flew out from the sleeves, like butterflies piercing through the rain curtain, drawing five elliptical arcs in the air, and shooting towards the whole body of the white-robed old man.

bang——

At the same time, Liu Qiansheng's immobile figure almost disappeared into place out of thin air. Relying on his shocking explosive power, he knocked out a cloud of white mist in the courtyard, and punched Ye Jingtang directly at the door.

Ye Jingtang reacted very quickly, took a big step back, and pulled his right hand behind his back, his aura instantly surged, breaking away the rain curtain around him, and it seemed that he was about to hit the city with a cannonball.

But the last time they fought, Liu Qiansheng could see that Ye Jingtang was too strong, his fists clashed, he was too old to stand still, his foot was messed up, he was just being pressed and beaten, and he had no intention of fighting hard.

The moment the heavy punch hit, Liu Qiansheng used his life's martial arts attainments to the extreme, his body changed from a rampaging bull to a willow leaf in the wind, and there was no trace of switching between rigidity and softness.

call--

With a fist sticking to his body, Liu Qiansheng's body brushed past his fist like a gauze, his right hand pressed down to prevent Ye Jingtang's left-handed knife from being pulled out at any time, his stature became short, and he slipped under Ye Jingtang's arm like a ghost shadow past.

Ye Jingtang's reaction was not slow at all, he turned around and kicked sideways, hitting Liu Qiansheng's back directly.

Liu Qiansheng ran away just to grab the door, and didn't waste any energy to dodge this blow, but ran with all his strength, trying to get out of Ye Jingtang's attack range with speed, but...

Call ~
The ghost hidden in the dark, Impermanence, gradually left, and fell from the top of the gate without a sound, and hit Liu Qiansheng's forehead with his right hand like a ghost's claw!
Liu Qiansheng's complexion changed suddenly, he raised his palm and slammed it on the wound, and gradually moved away from his palm, bursting out with terrifying energy in an instant.

bang——

With a palm strike, the injured Jianli that fell in the air was like a broken sack, flying upwards obliquely, smashing the porch.

wow-

And Liu Qiansheng was forced to pause for a moment.

Ye Jingtang turned around and kicked sideways, almost following Liu Qiansheng out, and the moment Liu Qiansheng paused, he landed on Liu Qiansheng's back.

Liu Qiansheng could keep up with his thoughts and experience, but his body was no longer able to respond as a peak martial artist should. He couldn't dodge, so he could only use the method of a thousand catties to plunge his feet into the ground, arching his back to try to resist the kick.

Bang!
boom -

Amidst the explosion, the school gate was shaken and cracks appeared, and the rain curtain in the alleyway was forced out of a semicircular hole by the aftermath of the force.

The chest of Liu Qiansheng's white robe exploded, his body leaned forward immediately, and then flew out of the door like a polo being swung with all his strength, obliquely smashing the wall of Qingshi Lane, and rushing into the air.

wow-

And the wound that flew out was like a ghost shadow floating in the air. The moment Liu Qiansheng was hit hard and was forced to fly towards him, the ghostly figure moved in front of him, a golden needle as thin as a hair, Sandwiched between his fingers, he slapped the palm that Liu Qiansheng handed over.

bang——

The palms meet, and the gold needle penetrates through the body.

Liu Qiansheng slapped Jianli again with his palm in mid-air, smashing into the house behind the wall, and still did not lose his balance, and landed firmly on the ground.

But just as Liu Qiansheng wanted to cheer up and run away, he staggered and fell into the rain.

thump--

The unbearable pain came, Liu Qiansheng's face was distorted, and he knelt on the ground with his arms covered, his muscles twitched violently, his eyes were blood red and he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"rat!!!"

chap——

The injury is getting away as fast as the thunder falls in front of him, holding the special "Lihun Needle" specially made by Wang Miracle Physician between his fingers, injecting inner strength, and forcibly piercing the acupuncture point on Liu Qiansheng's back spine, the voice is indifferent:

"The majestic eighth leader, who has been famous for a lifetime, should be obedient and retire when he is old. At this age, he came out to play around in the world, but the junior stepped down and couldn't even stand up. Don't you feel ashamed?"

The Lihun Needle is taken from the meaning of 'so painful that I can't wait to leave my body'. The pain of breaking free after sealing off the qi meridian is on the same level as the burning bone numb, and it belongs to an object that can't be resisted by willpower at all.

Liu Qiansheng just tried it, then gave up struggling with luck, gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Bah - a shameless villain, dare to shout when you hurt someone with a hidden weapon? If you are facing each other openly, are you an old man's opponent..."

Ye Jingtang stood in front of the door holding the handle of the knife, frowned and said:
"The government is catching thieves, do you think you are fighting privately? Besides, if you have the opportunity to fight me openly, you have to choose such a useless losing method. If you don't just think about running, you will be beaten unavoidably." Needle?"

"Bah - you have a kind of solution to the golden needle..."

……

Ye Jingtang didn't bother to talk to this old man, and turned to look at Nangong Shaofeng who was standing beside him with ashen face:
"Mr. Nangong, do you want to resist fearlessly and be beaten to death, or do you want to be more decent and seal your energy and go back to stand trial?"

Nangong Shaofeng's face was ashamed, knowing that the plan had already fallen short before it even started.

At this time, resisting is death, and not resisting is impossible for survival or death. He gritted his teeth, flew back suddenly, and slipped out a pill in his hand, trying to stuff it into his mouth.

choke-

There was a flash of knife light in the courtyard, and a white mist was pulled out in the rain.

In just a split second, Ye Jingtang had already flashed behind Nangong Shaofeng, and sheathed his saber with his backhand.

chap——

A broken arm flew up from behind and fell into the rain.

pat-

"what--"

The screams followed.

The eight chief arresters at the scene stepped forward quickly with weapons, and held down Nangong Shaofeng, who was about to rush to the broken arm to pick up the poison, and Liu Qiansheng, whose veins were sealed off by golden needles.

Ye Jingtang turned around and walked out of the yard, coming to Shang Jianli:
"Hei Ya asked for help, should we go back to the Yamen now?"

Shang Jianli patted his robe, and looked at the sound of swords not far away:
"Master Meng has already gone back, and it's too late for us to rush back."

"Is there an important prisoner in the dungeon?"

"It's very powerful to lock up Eunuch Cao, but it's not as important as cutting King Wu's title. This is the main thing. Master Qin has to guard the abandoned emperor and Miyagi. She Long and the others alone may not be able to deal with Xiao Yuan and Hao Yuanzhou. Wait, let’s make a quick decision in the past.”

Ye Jingtang thinks about it too, Eunuch Cao is still a single-handed martial artist no matter how he hangs himself, he really falls into the grass, it is nothing more than the eighth leader becoming the ninth leader, and he is not as threatening as the Pingtian leader.

And the opportunity to cut off King Wu's feudal kingdom is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For the Empress, this matter is naturally a higher priority.

Ye Jingtang stopped talking, beckoned the birds hovering high in the sky to find the location where they were fighting, and flew over with Shang Jianli...
