Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 1 Preface Things are business as usual (Region: Chang'an, Hero: Li Bai, Author: Fengyue)

Under the mighty blue sky, the white clouds in the distance surge like the sea, and a refreshing wind blows head-on.

For the first time in his life, Xun Qing stood at such a high place and looked into the distance.

This is the edge of Chang'an City Wall, hundreds of feet above the sky.

Under the sunshine in the afternoon, the sound of mighty and ancient drums came from under the sea of ​​clouds, as if an invisible big hand was stirring above the sky, pushing away the white clouds that covered the eyes, making the majestic and mighty ancient capital floating in front of my eyes.

This is the city of eternal mechanisms, his birthplace, his eternal hometown.

Ah, Chang'an!

Xun Qing's eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

In this way, he slowly took a deep breath in the gust of wind that hit his face above the sky.

Like a chicken being pinched by its neck, it wailed under the butcher's knife:
"—Help! Life! Ah!!!!"

This is the first time his voice resounded so loudly through the sky of this city.

However, in the situation of the kidnapped...

When Di Renjie finally arrived at the scene, it was already two quarters of an hour later.

And Xun Qing was still screaming.

At this moment, outside the station on the Chang'an city wall, sixteen armored chariots from Honglu Temple were still puffing out black smoke, like a pack of raging wolves.

Surrounded a group of track cars full of passengers and robbers.

The two sides stalemate.

"Master Di, Lord Di, you are here!"

As soon as he arrived at the command post at the scene, Di Renjie saw a black shadow rushing towards his face. If he hadn't seen clearly that it was the guard on duty of Honglu Temple, he might have thrown the token in his hand.

And the other party had already burst into tears.

He firmly grabbed Di Renjie's hand, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Just half an hour ago, during the routine inspection from Honglu Temple, a group of Xi cars full of passengers from the surrounding towns intercepted a batch of illegal smuggled goods, and at the same time, caught the smugglers.

Unfortunately, the following plot did not go as smoothly as everyone imagined.

Just above Xi's car, the smugglers who had nowhere to escape chose to jump over the wall in a hurry, and took out the mechanism Liannu and Zhentianlei. opponents of gangsters.Along with it, all passengers were tied up with tickets.

The kidnappers took this as a condition and asked to negotiate with Honglu Temple.

The condition is to make way for an exit, put down the track, and let their Xi car leave.

As the main force in maintaining public security in Chang'an, Honglu Temple has made outstanding contributions. It is not a problem to deal with things such as the seizure of stolen goods, the urging of officials and the release of prisoners, etc., which require hard work and patience. But there is no way.

Just like all institutional and technical problems have to go to Yu Hengsi, such a difficult, high-risk and high-casualty task has always been the domain of Dali Temple.

No matter how many Honghe eunuchs there are, they don't have the ability!
Besides, if something goes wrong, the lives of all passengers will be lost immediately.

Originally, such a track car that hangs on the high-altitude track and travels around lightly is a unique technology and wonder of Chang'an.Who would have thought that it has now turned into a dead place with nowhere to escape and no way to attack.

What's more, let them be cautious, those guys even hung a traveler on the edge of the city wall to warn them not to mess around.

Even Di Renjie felt at a loss as to what to do.

"How about I take someone on a flying wing and touch it from a blind spot outside the city wall for rescue?"

In the shadows behind him, a voice suddenly came.

Yuan Fang, a young boy from the demon species who was hiding in the dark, came out.

"No, they will definitely be on guard against the following, besides, you are the only one who can skillfully use things like flying wings, it's too dangerous.

Besides, since they dared to jump over the wall, there may not be gunpowder and kerosene in the car... If anything goes wrong, all passengers will be ruined. "

Di Renjie shook his head resolutely, "I'll go in person."

For a while, there was a dead silence in the temporary command post.

"Don't they want to negotiate?"

Di Renjie sighed softly, "I'll go talk to them."

If they like my way of negotiating...

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, in the emptied station, Di Renjie came to the three-story car full of goods, passengers and even gangsters.

Just under the aim of several mechanism crossbows.

Raise your hands.

Let those who come up check it.

Soon, this thin-looking negotiator was roughly pushed into the cabin, and finally, he saw the passengers who were being held hostage by the sword.

And the blood on the ground...

"Damn it, cats and dogs are here to deal with people!" In front of the screaming wounded, Wang Yuan raised his head indifferently and looked at Di Renjie: "What are you doing?"

"Those who came to negotiate, don't you want to talk?"

Under restraint, Di Renjie replied calmly: "Please calm down, if the passenger is injured in any way, it's not good to have a life of twists and turns, right?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the thief in front of him.

The calluses on his right hand, and the criss-crossing scars on his arms, the bravery of Xuanyong ranger, I am afraid that many of his men will die.

a little tricky...

"Don't try to procrastinate!" Wang Yuan put the blade on his neck, and warned in a cold voice: "Get out of the way for Lao Tzu immediately, after Lao Tzu reaches Xuan Yong's territory, there is no problem to talk about anything!"

"Help!"

At the edge of the city wall, seeing someone coming, Xun Qing suddenly screamed harder, with tears in his eyes: "My lord, save me!"

The corners of Di Renjie's eyes twitched, and his ears hurt from the shock.

...Or let the crossbowman shoot this guy to death first.

Di Renjie even wondered if this was the secret work of these guys...

In desperation, he sighed, "Let him go, your goal has been achieved, haven't you? You can talk about anything you want, otherwise what if you scare that guy to death."

Wang Yuan sneered: "Ha, is this the start of saving the hostages?"

Di Renjie replied: "I have come here, of course, to ensure the safety of more passengers. Besides, I can't run away. If you are still dissatisfied by then, why not kill me?"

"Heh, he has a backbone."

Wang Yuan sneered, turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to obey orders. Soon, tearful Xun Qing was taken off the rail and brought to Di Renjie.

Still shivering.

"Now, what you want, I'll give it to you."

Wang Yuan turned around, put the blade on Xun Qing's neck, and asked sharply, "I want it!"

Di Renjie seemed to have never heard of it.

Just looking around, his lips opened and closed silently, as if he was counting silently, which made Wang Yuan furious: "Speak, I'm asking you something!"

"I know."

Di Renjie nodded, "I was just doing a math problem."

He paused for a moment, and a disturbing smile suddenly appeared on his always indifferent face.

"Now……"

"I'm done," he said.

At that moment, it was like a torrential rain swaying and sweeping out of thin air.

A dazzling light burst out in front of everyone's eyes!

Just outside the window, under the ray of sunlight, the rope between Di Renjie's wrists snapped silently, as if cut by a sharp knife.

At this moment, the unarmed judge spread out his five fingers, as if... holding light in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, countless blazing lights flew out in all directions following the swaying of those hands.

The light of nothingness pierced through the air as if it had substance, roaring and crushing the wielding sharp knives and steel, piercing through the deck, tearing the barrier, and refracting from the reflection of the mirror.

Endless!

The entire track car is enveloped in it.

With a snap of the fingers, countless sounds of falling to the ground sounded one after another.

Under the ingenious calculation, all the robbers inside and outside the cabin were completely defeated by the majestic light like a token, and passed out on the spot.

And the passengers, no injuries!

It's hard to imagine what kind of secret technique is able to endow the light and shadow of nothingness with a substance that surpasses that of steel!

This unbelievable control turned the situation around in an instant!
But then, Xun Qing's screams sounded again, and there was also a roar from Wang Yuan.

"do not come!"

He pulled up the hostages on the ground and stood in front of him, his expression completely distorted: "Or I'll kill him!"

Just in front of Xun Qing's neck, a huge gap has appeared on the edge of the sword.

Trembling uncontrollably.

Di Renjie was stunned, he didn't expect this guy to be able to block his blow.But obviously, soon, he saw the blood-red gem under the other's torn clothes.

——Heavenly Crafted Treasure·Red Agate!

To have such a treasure...

"Go away! Go away! No, you stand still, don't move!"

Wang Yuan was obviously scared out of his wits by Di Renjie's skill, now he roared angrily, pulling the crying Xun Qing back: "Otherwise I'll kill him!"

His hand retracted inward, and a slit was cut on Xun Qing's neck.

Blood flowed.

For a moment, Di Renjie's slightly raised fingers froze in mid-air, and he didn't dare to move any more.

And under the blade of the sword, Xun Qing choked up and was about to collapse on the ground. All he could do was to confess: "Dao Xuan Gong, I'm sorry for you. It's hard for me to be admitted to the second-level mechanism division, and I haven't had time to shine. , will die young...

If I knew what I was doing in such a hurry to return to Chang'an, didn't I jump into the fire pit?
If God gives him another chance, he will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a good man. He will never steal or play tricks again, and he will not dare to buy such discounted Xi station tickets for cheap.

It's a pity that no matter how much he repented, he couldn't make the sharp knife on his neck go any farther.

He is going to die.

But there are so many things to be done that haven't been done yet.

You'll be a worthless bastard until your death...

Just thinking of this, the wimpy tears couldn't stop.

But when Wang Yuan backed away nervously, everyone's movements suddenly froze in place, because in the silence, there was a sharp sound of the door opening and closing.

Just below the feet, the entrance to the bottom warehouse that no one noticed.

A cargo door was slowly raised.

Xun Qing's eyes widened.

Immediately afterwards, I couldn't help coughing violently—the strong aroma of wine gushed out like a spring from the crack in the door of the bottom cabin, and filled the entire cabin in an instant, making everyone dizzy for a while.

In the bottom warehouse, the outlines of countless wine jars appeared.

Those were the fine wines that merchants transported thousands of miles from the cloud to Chang'an, and they were worth thousands of gold, but they should have been lying on the shelves honestly, but now they rolled all over the floor in a disorderly manner.

The sealing mud was nowhere to be seen, and the inside was even more empty, not a single drop left!

Hundreds of altars of Yunzhong Liquor, after a long journey of three days and four nights, were secretly drunk before reaching Chang'an... What's even more outrageous is that there are still stickers on every jar of wine. A silver ticket, as if someone who stole the wine would still pay!
And now, the bleary-eyed 'wine thief' finally stuck his head out from behind the door and yawned.

"So much movement?"

The young man in white clothes covered with wine stains asked blankly, "Is Chang'an here?"

In an instant, Xun Qing's heart that had just risen sank to the bottom of the valley, and when he noticed the furious Wang Yuan behind him, he subconsciously shouted: "Run!"

However, it's too late.

"Where did the bastard come from!"

The desperado who had nowhere to turn had his eyes burning red, and he immediately slashed his sword at the roadblocker beside him: "Die to me!!!"

The blade pierced through the air, setting off a sharp howl.

Then, all sounds stopped abruptly.

It was as if the silence had come out of nowhere.

The sound of the wind in the distance, Xun Qing's cries, Wang Yuan's roar, Di Renjie's scolding, and the din of the Dicang office...all insignificant sounds were torn apart by the high-pitched cranes.

At that moment, Xun Qing's eyes flickered.

I only felt that I saw a white electric light across from the front, tearing the darkness, and then, the high-pitched scream of steel colliding burst out.

Sparks burst.

It illuminated Wang Yuan's ferocious face, as well as the drunken silent eyes in front of him.

In the hands of that drunk young man, there was an unpretentious long sword, without any decoration, which was in front of Wang Yuan's blade.

It's just a sword swayed at will, but it is completely natural, preventing the enemy's ultimate move from advancing an inch.

"Hey, uncle... calm down."

The boy smiled heartily: "If you have something to say, say it well, it's not good to fight and kill."

"I fucking want you to die!!!"

Wang Yuan's eyes were completely reddened, he even put everything behind him, raised his sword again, and chopped it down.

The sound of breaking through the air was like thunder!

"Ok?"

At that moment, the boy raised his eyes and saw the blood on the blade of his sword, as if he finally understood something.

The smile on his face stagnated.

When the drunkenness and sleepiness faded from those eyes, something more terrifying woke up.

In that case...

"Leave someone under the sword!"

At that moment, Di Renjie roared angrily.

But it was not to Wang Yuan, but to that... seemingly harmless young man.

Because a majestic iron light rose from the darkness, like a fierce star that suddenly flashed across the star field in the long night, releasing a breathtaking flame.

A sign of disaster.

bring death.

Xun Qing's eyes widened subconsciously, but he couldn't see the change at that moment clearly.

I just felt that at that moment, the whole world was incredibly slow.Because something is too fast, so fast that even the lightning in the sky and the thoughts of people are hard to reach...

Immediately afterwards, it was all over.

Wang Yuan seemed to be frozen, frozen in place.

In the dead silence, only the young man slowly retracted his sword into its sheath.

Then, a ray of silver light suddenly emerged from the sky, expanding straight, extending to both sides like a bird.

Wherever they passed, a sharp crack appeared on the wall panels on both sides of the cabin, the half-opened door, the keel above the ceiling, countless components made of bronze, the air, and even the blade in Wang Yuan's hand. .

In this short period of less than a snap of the fingers, the outcome has been decided.

It's hard to describe how fast and fierce that kind of swordsmanship is, but it's short-lived but like a bubble, and it's hard to distinguish clearly.

Only a low voice burst out.

It was the trembling Wang Yuan who knelt down on the ground, not daring to take any action.

Shivering.

All fighting spirit and ferocity were cut to pieces by that sharp sword.Immediately afterwards, there was a broken sound, so ear-piercing.

In the cramped Xi car, the ceiling whined and cracked.

Xun Qing raised his head dully, and saw a ray of scorching sun's light falling from the crack, illuminating the young man's face, as if carved from white jade in the clouds, reflecting the sunlight, which hurt his pupils.

"Are you all right?"

The young man stretched out his hand towards Xun Qing who was on the ground, and asked softly, "Can you still stand up?"

Subconsciously, Xun Qing held his hand and nodded with difficulty, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"This, this is Xun Qing...excuse me, what's your name?"

"Hello, Xun Qing."

The young man laughed, carried the long sword in the sheath on his shoulder, raised a strand of grass roots at the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and told him:
"I'm Li Bai."

According to future statistics.

On this day, Honglu Temple solved a major smuggling case and defended innocent citizens, which was appreciated by all parties. All staff had a chicken leg for dinner.

In Dali Temple, Di Renjie sat in the interrogation room with a dark face and interrogated for a long time, but found nothing. Everyone began to work overtime all night.

Division Yu Heng submitted a budget application for the new quarter and a new round of maintenance plan for Chang'an City's public institutions to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they were approved, with 6000 million taels of silver allocated on that day.

A total of three homicides and more than a hundred fights occurred in the city. Eleven thieves were arrested, and four were for stealing cars and money.

One of them was arrested by Dali Temple for stealing alcohol...

The largest blind date restaurant in the city announced that it had facilitated the [-]th marriage, and started a limited-time membership promotion, triggering a new round of buying frenzy.

'Kuafu Team' defeated 'Red Boots Team' in the [-]th Chang'an Cup Polo Finals and won the championship.

……

Among them, there are so many things that happen in different ways.

But they all have one characteristic, that is, there is nothing new, and they are always commonplace.

And Chang'an is still running.

As always, calmly and patiently, welcome a new day.

　Li Bai, the hero of Glory of Kings, a fictional game character, don't confuse him with Li Bai in real history.
