Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 39 Rashomon

The closed palace gate of Wangcheng was slowly opened, and a luxurious car drove out slowly from the palace gate.

The son of heaven drives six, the princes drive five, the ministers drive four, the officials three, the scholars two, and the common people one.

The chariot is drawn by four horses, all of which are white in color, called Bai Xiang.The identity of its owner is priceless.Only direct relatives of the royal family can ride Bai Xiang.

Although the weather is getting warmer every day, it snowed the day before yesterday.

Spring is cold, warm and cold, and the weather changes suddenly, which makes people unprepared.

The cold wind blew so cold that the neck shrank inward.If you walk outside, even with a thick cloak, it is still difficult to withstand the cold.

But the coldest thing is not the wind and snow, but the chill.

The assassin who caught the net has been executed.But that is far from the end of all the intricacies involved.

The scenery of the small pavilion is completely gone, the small bridge outside the pavilion, the flowing water under the bridge is gurgling, and in a short time, the flowing water will also melt into ice.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and a group of cars passed by the small pavilion.Four-wheeled canopy, silk canopy and leather, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, are so luxurious that they outshine the sun.Regardless of the yoke, scales, shafts, wheels, hubs, hubs, and spokes, they are all lacquered with gold and inlaid with silver, which is extremely gorgeous.

There is a bridge over the Liang River, also known as Bailiang Bridge because it is built of white stone.

The car drove towards the Bailiang Bridge. The bridge was very deserted and empty, perhaps because of the cold weather.

But at this time the bridge is not empty, there is a person standing in the middle of the bridge.The tall and burly body stands beside the bridge like a mountain.

The car stopped, and there were two drivers, one was Ren Huai and the other was Zhang Er.

Ren Huai jumped out of the car and went towards the man.Zhang Er raised the car curtain to reveal the characters inside.

The person in the car asked, "What happened?"

Seeing that person, Zhang Er bowed and said, "Mr. Xinling, there is a person on the bridge ahead."

The people in the car looked up, and there was indeed a person on the bridge, and he recognized this person.

Seeing Ren Huai walking towards him, the tall man immediately asked in a low voice: "In the carriage is Mr. Xinling!"

"It's Mr. Xinling in the car, General Dianqing, why are you doing this?" Ren Huai asked suspiciously.

"Wei State's Armored Gate Ceremony, please see Lord Xinling!" The tall man shouted loudly, with anger and hatred intertwined.

"General Dianqing, I know that you serve in the imperial army, and I respect you as a general. You are standing on the bridge, and you are so intimidating, how can you ask to see the prince!" Ren Huai saw that this man was so disrespectful, said angrily.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both. He is inhumane first, and I am unrighteous. That's all! Take your life!"

The man was simply a giant.A steel giant.When this man moved, he looked like a moving mountain.

This giant holds a giant double-edged ax in each of his left and right hands.He is extremely tall, but extremely fast.

Ren Huai, as the accompanying bodyguard, wanted to protect his master, so he immediately drew his sword.

Facing the sword stabbing at him, Dian Qing ignored it and rushed towards the chariot as before, brandishing his double axes.

Ren Huai's sword hit Dianqing's chest, but he remained motionless as if he was being stabbed against a solid rock wall.

Dian Qing slashed at Ren Huai with an axe, Ren Huai hurriedly dodged, but was still staggered by the axe.

At this time, another person attacked, under the sword, it was unpredictable.

Dianqing swept across with his two axes, and slashed at the sky, the overwhelming force of the sky slashed at the attacker with his masculine inner strength.

The sword energy and the ax strength collide, and the ax and sword strike each other.

Under the impact of this huge force, Zhang Er couldn't help but backed up, smashed the bridge deck with one foot, and stabilized his figure just now.

Dianqing ran towards the car again, his movement was like rolling a boulder.He moves quickly, and has a long ax in his hand. With a big swing of the ax, sweeping across the circle is a thousand-ton force.

The four guards guarding the bridge, under his move, felt as if they were being weighed down by a heavy object, they couldn't even move, and they watched the huge ax continue to enlarge in front of their eyes.

"Puchi~!" There were four muffled sounds, and the giant ax chopped off the heads of the four people, blood splashing out.

In the blink of an eye, he was approaching the car.With another swing of the axe, all eight hoofs of the four horses in front of him were broken, and the horses fell off the cart.With the third swing of the axe, the horse's head was chopped off.

"Brother Xue, show mercy."

Following these words, a person flew out of the carriage, and with a flash of his figure, he bullied the approaching giant.

He flicked out his palm, clasped his thumb and forefinger, and opened the remaining three fingers slightly. His fingers stretched out like an orchid, and the shadow of his hand touched the four orifices of the giant's heart.

Dianqing only felt a pain in his heart, as if something had penetrated into his heart.

All of a sudden, I felt my whole body was sore and weak, and I couldn't use half of my strength anymore, so I could only collapse on the ground and let others take me down.

"Is there any misunderstanding between you and me?" A man's calm words came from inside the car.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man walked out of it, wearing a black brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, with no hatred on his face.

It seems that there is no anger towards the person in front of him who wants to assassinate him.

Dian Qing glanced at the man, he had heard of Lord Xinling's reputation, and seeing his actions like this, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

But according to the clues he knows, the mastermind behind all this is the person in front of him.

"Why did you kill my master!" Dian Qing asked sharply.

"I have never had a problem with General Zuo, so how can we talk about killing?" Lord Xinling replied.

"Before my master died, you were the last person I saw. The reason why he was assassinated by the snare assassin was because he was poisoned and broke his skills!" Dian Qing said angrily.

"General Zuo and I..."

Before he finished talking, he saw a silver thread piercing out of the water, piercing towards the bridge.

A person jumped out of the river, and stepped on the water as if walking on flat ground, his movements were extremely agile.

The silver thread was originally a very thin silver chain waving in his hand, if it hadn't been for the reflection of the water color on the river surface and the sharp sound of the wind, it would be impossible to know that he had such a long weapon in his hand.

Seeing three sunspots flying towards him, the man who took Dianqing earlier waved his sleeve, and he threw the three sunspots out, hit the water and exploded.

Immediately, two figures sprang out from under the bridge, one was full of flesh, and the other was extremely thin.

A fierce man held a large silver spear and stabbed at him. The tip of the spear was windy, and there were many shadows of the spear, and he came straight towards Lord Xinling.

The thin man then took out two sunspots from his pocket, and wanted to throw them again.

The three just formed a sure-to-kill formation.

Before the hidden weapon in the thin man's hand was thrown, he felt a sudden pain in his chest, and when he looked again, the front of his chest had split open at some point, and a blood hole the size of a bowl appeared.His eyes widened, his body softened, and he fell into the river.

He recognized that the hidden weapon in this man's hand was Tianlei Zi from the Thunderbolt Hall of Chu State, but this man's hidden weapon skills were not up to the mark.

A red mark, a small red mark, suddenly appeared on the forehead of the fierce man who came to kill with a gun.

The red seal suddenly expanded, the forehead split open, bloody light appeared, and exploded.

His posture of holding the gun was still maintained, but the head on his neck was nowhere to be seen, turning into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

The thin silver chain that was shot was also broken by an invisible energy point.

The old man wielding the thin silver chain spilled a trail of blood from his mouth and fell into the river.

Fortunately than the other two, he is not dead yet.

Only then did everyone see a finger, to be precise, the middle finger, a white, slender middle finger.

This finger, stretched out from the man's hand, is now slowly retracted.This finger not only killed those two people, but also shocked the audience.

The man took another step and stepped on the river, he grabbed the old man with one hand and said: "Why do you lie in ambush and assassinate again?"

"Wei Gong has a kindness with us, but we are harmed by him. I can't be reconciled. I wish I couldn't kill this beast and avenge Wei Gong!" the old man roared violently.

There was infinite hatred in that voice, and it echoed on the empty river surface for a long time without stopping.

Looking at it again, the old man died of exhaustion, obviously he died by killing his own meridians.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Xinling's expression was calm, without any surprise.

The only thing he didn't expect was Dianqing's appearance.

Now it is even more difficult for him to understand his relationship.

Seeing this tragic scene, Dian Qing, who was lying limp on the ground, became even more angry in his heart, and his previously wavering mind suddenly became firm.

If it wasn't him, how could anyone risk their life for blood revenge?

The danger was far from over, a black shadow approached quietly, the person he feared was not by his side, and no one could stop him.

He slapped out a palm, this palm was fierce and invincible, like a landslide and tsunami, as if a mountain peak fell from the sky.

Zhang Er held the sword in front of Lord Xinling, but his sword was knocked out of his hand by this palm.The whole person also flew out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the stone railing beside the bridge.

The fierce and boundless palm is firm and unwavering.

Seeing that Mr. Xinling was about to be killed with a single palm, a mysterious sword light flew out from the sedan chair, and the cold sword suddenly appeared, breaking the killing palm.

The palms and swords intersected, and the cuffs of the masked man in black were scratched, revealing the sword marks on his arm.

Han Tang from the Seven Star Tower, known as the sword under the sword, finally saw his murderous swordsmanship today.

Yang Gongxie didn't come this time, it was Han Tang who came, and the other person was Xue Zhu who was known as Jade Xiaojian.

A cold light suddenly appeared mysteriously, quickly surpassing the torrent, like lightning flashed by, and the sword in Han Tang's hand passed by with a swipe.

An erratic, unrestrained palm hit him like a dream.

Facing the siege of Han Tang and Xue Zhu, the two most powerful masters in the world, he went forward instead of retreating, and greeted each other with a palm.

A fierce and domineering palm technique, using the palm as a sword.

Two completely different swordsmanship and palm techniques met in mid-air and exploded, and three powerful internal forces rushed past.

Yu Wei, who fought against the three of them, even razed the area under the bridge to the ground.The river was surging and surging, as if it was going to completely submerge the bridge.

With the power of this palm, he stirred up thousands of water waves, like raging waves, and struck towards the two of them.

The two shot at the same time, each with a sword and a palm, and collided with the water wave, one after another splashed, and the water column soared into the sky, forming a huge vortex in the sky above the water area. Under the vortex, the river kept rolling, Rolling up monstrous water waves, the water here has become a sky-covering water dragon.

When the water dissipated, the masked man in black had disappeared.

The two sensed that another group of people was approaching here.

The person who came was an invisible person, and the purpose of coming here was precisely because of what happened here.The shadowless people escorted Dianqing away and took away the bodies of the three dead men.

The leader in Wuying was dressed in gray clothes, with a hunched back, an old man with a hunchback.He carried a sword on his back, wrapped in cloth, and hung vertically behind him.

He is dumb, but he can speak because his words come from his belly.

He only left one sentence: Wuying will definitely find out the truth.
