Soldiers come to the world

On the banks of the Hanshui River in the west of Fancheng, several soldiers were anxiously waiting for the appearance of Sima Liu Jing on the bank. Just like a mud cow entering the sea, it disappeared without a trace.

One of the soldiers was particularly anxious. He came to report that someone had been waiting for Liu Jing in Fancheng for a long time.

On this drizzle and extremely cold night, the Han River was not safe. The soldiers could see the eddies constantly rising on the water surface. Although the water surface was calm, the undercurrent was turbulent, which filled them with worry.

Liu Jing has already adapted to the underwater undercurrent. He even learned to use the undercurrent to guide his strength. He even regarded the undercurrent as enemies coming from all directions, and fought against them vigorously. Liu Jing will be exhausted every time, but it can greatly improve martial arts cultivation.

Today's practice is a bit special for Liu Jing. He is not preparing for tomorrow's martial arts competition. He has not taken Cai Jin to heart. He is dealing with himself. He challenges himself every time, and today is no exception. Today he uses The most important one is Fangtian's painted halberd weighing 91 jin, which is the Wenhou halberd given to him by the Tao family.

Although Liu Jing's weapon is a 91-jin crescent halberd, in fact, his strength has been slowly improving. He can already use Gan Ning's [-]-jin double halberds, but he is still a little short of time, but he needs to use it. Fang Tian painted a halberd weighing [-] pounds, he needed a breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change.

During the Chaisang War a month ago, he had a premonition of a power breakthrough in his body. This time he came to Xiangyang, this premonition was particularly strong, so he specially brought Fang Tian Huaji with him.

Today's undercurrent is turbulent and turbulent, attacking him from all directions, as if breaking through the encirclement of thousands of troops, Liu Jing waved the 91-jin Fang Tian painted halberd underwater, fighting against the undercurrent on all sides, he has already trained a Hours, already exhausted.

But at this moment, he had already clearly felt the point where his body broke through, like a lamp dozens of steps away, he could clearly see that he was struggling to walk towards it step by step, and the oxygen in Liu Jing's chest Having vomited out, he began to be in a semi-hypoxic suffocation state. In this semi-hypoxic state, his potential has been brought into full play.

It's a pity that he couldn't hold on anymore, that breakthrough point seemed to be right in front of him, just like a blooming flower, but he couldn't pick it anymore, Liu Jing knew that if he didn't get out of the water, he would die at the bottom of the water.

He struck out the last halberd, sighed secretly, let go of the boulder with his legs, let go of the halberd with both hands, and quickly rushed towards the water, "Wow! ' He burst out of the water, gulping in the fresh air.

Then he dived into the bottom of the water suddenly, touched Fang Tian's painted halberd, and walked from the bottom of the water to the shore step by step. He was only one step away from breaking through, but in the end he fell short.

This so-called "breakthrough" is actually a process of fixing the potential that has exploded. When the potential is stimulated again and again, this potential will gradually become a normal state, and a breakthrough is a quantitative change to a qualitative change. the last step.

Liu Jing has already had two breakthrough experiences, and he is not too frustrated. He knows that he has completed 99 steps and has a solid foundation. The last step can be taken at any time. This kind of breakthrough is not something that is impossible , but a matter of course.

When Liu Jing came out of the river, the soldiers cheered and greeted him, wrapped his body in a thick and dry linen cloth, and two soldiers took Fang Tian's painted halberd over.

"What's the matter?" Liu Jing noticed that another soldier hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to report something.

The soldiers hurried forward and reported: "Qi Sima, there are people waiting in the firm for a long time."

"who is it?"

"Reporting to Sima, it is an officer named Cai, who seems to be called Cai Jin."

'It's him! Liu Jing thought to himself, why is he here?Could it be that there is something wrong with tomorrow's martial arts competition?

"Is he the only one?" Liu Jing asked again.

"Yes! He's the only one."

After Liu Jing finished his martial arts training, he usually had to sit quietly for half an hour to recover his strength, but since Cai Jin was waiting for him, there was probably something urgent, so Liu Jing didn't stay any longer, put on his clothes quickly, got on his horse and headed towards Fancheng.

. . . . . . . . .

Cai Jin has been waiting for Liu Jing for nearly half an hour. He paced back and forth in the living room, full of worries, and his heart was very conflicted. He didn't know if it was wise for him to come to Liu Jing tonight, and whether it would harm the interests of the family. But when the Patriarch and Huang She left, he heard clearly what Huang She said before getting into the carriage.

'Liu Jing will surely die this time! '

It was this sentence that gave Cai Jin the idea to help Liu Jing. Although Cai Jin had a sword match with Liu Jing two years ago at Liu Cong’s request, and he was defeated by Liu Jing’s sword that time, it was precisely that match , so that Cai Jin has a sense of sympathy for Liu Jing.

This time Liu Jing defeated the Jiangdong Army in Chaisang, which made Cai Jin even more admire Liu Jing. He even proposed a martial arts competition early this morning, which is already an honor for him.

On the other hand, Cai Jin is a man of Wenpin, and he is upright. He has always disliked some of the actions of the Patriarch, especially in order to support Liu Cong, the Patriarch did not hesitate to marry Shaoyu to a useless man. Cai Jin was extremely dissatisfied.

This time, when Huang She was about to collude with the head of the family to frame Liu Jing secretly, Cai Jin couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to report to Liu Jing overnight, but no matter what, he must not do anything to betray the family, he had to consider a two-way plan , can help Liu Jing, but will not harm the interests of the family.

Just as Cai Jin was pacing back and forth in the living room, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the hall, followed by Liu Jing's hearty laughter, "Brother Cai, are you going to change the competition to night?"

As soon as Cai Jin turned around, he saw Liu Jing walking quickly into the lobby, and he hurried forward to salute, "I've met Liu Sima, it's really important to bother you so late."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, waved his hand, "Please sit down and talk!"

The two sat down, Liu Jing looked at Cai Jin with a smile on his face, he never thought that Cai Jin would have any important matters.

Cai Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I saw Huang She tonight."

This is indeed something that interests Liu Jing. He has been paying close attention to Huang She's whereabouts. He knows that Huang She is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.

"Where did you see Huang She?" Liu Jing asked again.

Cai Jin shook his head, "There are some things I can't say. It's about the interests of the family. As long as Liu Sima knows, Huang She is in Xiangyang now. He wants to frame you and seems to have caught you. Be careful!"

Liu Jing nodded. Although Cai Jin didn't say it clearly, he implied that Huang She and Cai Mao had colluded with each other. It should be said that this was also expected by Liu Jing. After all, they had a common enemy. Easier to move towards union.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I can understand Brother Cai's difficulties. Apart from what you said just now, can Brother Cai tell me anything else?"

Cai Jin lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Perhaps he also felt that the information he had provided was too little to help Liu Jing. He gritted his teeth and finally said: "There is a person imprisoned in the dungeon of the punishment room of Cai's Sword Academy. I don't know who it is." I know, but this person is Huang She's key figure in dealing with you."

Speaking of this, Cai Jin stood up and saluted, "That's all I can say."

Liu Jing returned a salute and said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Cai for reporting the letter in time, Liu Jing is very grateful!"

Cai Jin shook his head and smiled calmly, "I am neither enemy nor friend Liu Sima, but I respect Liu Sima as a fighter, so I will do my best to hope that Sima will take care of himself. Cai Jin bids farewell!"

Cai Jin didn't mention tomorrow's martial arts competition at all, and Liu Jing didn't mention it either. Both of them knew in their hearts that at this moment when there were so many murderous opportunities, tomorrow's martial arts competition might not be held.

Cai Jin left and left. Liu Jing stood at the gate, watching Cai Jin's back go away, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. How did Huang She frame him, and what did he hold on to him?

He looked at the sky, it was not long after dark, and the city gate of Xiangyang was not yet closed, so he immediately ordered: "Prepare my horse, I'm going to Xiangyang!"

. . . . . . . . .

Half an hour later, Liu Jing led [-] soldiers to appear in front of Cai's Sword Gym. The gate of Cai's Sword Gym was closed. Liu Jing gave a soldier a wink. The soldier understood and immediately went to knock on the door.

After a while, someone inside responded, "Who is it?"

"At the order of the Patriarch, come to increase the defense of the punishment room, open the door quickly!"

The gates' creak! With a sound, an old man looked around, but before he could react, a gleaming saber was put on his neck, scaring the old man almost to the point of fainting.

The soldier grabbed his skirt, "Say it quickly! Where is the punishment room?"

The old man tremblingly pointed to the northwest corner, and the soldier pushed him, "Take us there!"

Liu Jing rushed into the sword hall on his horse, and ran towards the punishment room. The punishment room was a building covering an area of ​​one mu, with a rockery behind it.

Everyone walked into the gate, and the building was pitch black. A soldier lit a torch, and everyone saw the structure inside. After passing through three iron gates, they entered the lobby, which was divided into small rooms.

There are iron bars in front of each room. Obviously, each room is a small cell, but these cells are empty and there is no prisoner in sight.

"Where is the entrance to the dungeon?" Liu Jing asked the porter sharply.

The porter tremblingly pointed to the east corner, and everyone saw it. There was an iron gate there. As soon as they got to the iron gate, they saw a guard running out in a panic and rushing to the other side.

Several soldiers rushed up and knocked him to the ground. The guard shouted in fright: "Don't kill me! It has nothing to do with me."

The soldiers escorted the guard back, and the guard was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Liu Jing and kowtowed, "Forgive me! It has nothing to do with the villain."

Liu Jing pointed at the guard with a horsewhip, and said coldly, "Let me ask you, who is imprisoned in the dungeon?"

"Yes... it is Lu Ji, the Jiangdong envoy. He was taken away by... the head of the family half an hour ago, and all the prisoners were taken away."
