Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1047 Jiangnan Sword Pool
Bai Zixuan smiled and said: "They also practiced this since they were young. They don't know how many times they have to jump up and down on the carriage every day. They are probably much more diligent than when we practiced kung fu in Jianzhuang."

At the end of his words, there was already a sweet-looking girl with delicate skin in a blue cloth blouse who jumped onto the wheel of the car, holding a basket of chrysanthemums in her hand, and said with a smile: "The chrysanthemums are so fragrant, my lord bought them." Two flowers!"

Bai Zixuan looked at her small hands like spring onions, and couldn't help laughing: "Is it the fragrance of flowers? Or the fragrance of your hands?"

The little girl blushed immediately, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Naturally it's the fragrance of flowers, if you don't believe me, just smell it."

Bai Zixuan laughed and was about to go to pick up the flowers, but Bai Canghai snatched it first, and said with a smile, "All good flowers have thorns, does this flower have thorns? Don't pierce my nose."

The little girl giggled and said, "Master, you really know how to tell jokes, what thorny chrysanthemum is there in the world?"

Bai Canghai said: "In that case, I'll buy a few. It's a pity that although this flower is good, there is no one who wears it... I can only pass this flower on to the girl."

While speaking, he suddenly sent the flower basket to the little girl again.

The little girl's complexion suddenly changed, and she turned over in the air, backed away a foot away, turned around and fled away as if flying.

Bai Canghai wondered: "Senior brother! Is there something wrong with this flower, or why is this little girl frightened like this?"

Bai Zixuan sighed, and said: "If I try to scare her away, she will kill you and me."

Bai Canghai lost his voice: "What did you say?"

Bai Zixuan didn't answer, but gently tore the cold chrysanthemum flower, only to see that there were more than a dozen small black needles in the flower.

Bai Canghai's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help saying in shock, "Poison needle?"

Bai Zixuan smiled wryly: "If I didn't catch it quickly, as long as it flicks its little hand, would you and I still want to live at this moment?"

Bai Canghai frowned tightly, Bai Zixuan patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Junior brother, only senior brother knows your reputation as the king of killers, and you are naturally one of the few people in the world who can stop you from killing people with a sword." , but killing you by other means is far from being familiar to professional killers like Na Lian Jicheng."

The light in Bai Canghai's eyes flickered, and he said, "Is this similar to the assassins trained by Iron Sword Villa?"

Bai Zixuan was silent for a while, but he didn't answer Bai Canghai's question directly, and said to himself: "Brother, how do you guess how brother saw that this little girl is an assassin?"

Bai Canghai said without hesitation or thought: "These little girls have been selling flowers on this road since they were young. It can be seen that they are all children of poor families. They sell flowers during the day and help with housework at night. There will be her who looks like a white girl." Tender hands."

Bai Zixuan was startled, a little surprised, looked at Bai Canghai and said, "Junior brother, these eyes really do not lose the reputation of the king of killers."

Bai Canghai said again: "Also, these little girls were born and raised here, how could they speak her standard official language? I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard her speak."

Bai Zixuan sighed: "Since you have seen it, why didn't you stop it."

Bai Canghai said: "Before she makes a move, I can only see that she has a problem, or know that she is probably not a real flower girl, but I can't be sure that she is an assassin, so I am waiting for her to make a move, as long as I am sure She really is an assassin, then I will pierce her throat with a sword before she makes a move."

Bai Zixuan suddenly said with some emotion: "Junior brother, I was wrong just now, you are worthy of being the king of killers."

Bai Canghai said: "Brother, I don't know something. As the captain of the special brigade, I have a battalion of killers under my command, and there are seven top-ranked killers. I follow how these people teach the fighters of the killer battalion below. for a while."

Bai Zixuan didn't know what to think of, the light in his eyes flickered, and he said: "Your Majesty is indeed a genius from heaven, and he is indeed a person bestowed by God. The special brigade, which has never been seen since ancient times, was formed by him, and its role is in In many cases, it is bigger than a legion."

After a pause, he said again: "Junior brother, you came to Da Song this time, just to save that girl Shui'er?"

Bai Canghai hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To tell you the truth, senior brother, His Majesty has entrusted Shangguan Bingyun with full authority over Shui'er. I didn't want to intervene at first, but I just heard that Shangguan Bingyun was kidnapped by Lou Yanming, so I decided to take care of it." I have to take care of this temporarily. During my trip, His Majesty mainly told me that there is another matter to be done."

Bai Zixuan narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

Bai Canghai said: "Brother, I still remember Qian Yuechan, the female sword emperor from the Qian family of the royal family of Wuyue Kingdom."

Bai Zixuan's pupils narrowed slightly, and he said, "How can Qian Yuechan, the sword emperor of the generation, not remember?"

Bai Canghai said: "Back then, Qian Yuechan and His Majesty exchanged dozens of prefectures and mountains of Wuyue Kingdom for the hereditary kingship and wealth of the Wuyue royal family Qian's family, and then Qian Yuechan, who was already seriously injured and dying, was carried by twelve sword boys. Then we entered a place that His Majesty never forgets."

Bai Zixuan took a deep breath and said, "Where?"

Bai Canghai said: "Back then, Qian Yuechan had been staying in a small valley in the middle of Ruyi Mountain outside Hangzhou City. Outside of this valley was a bamboo forest. This bamboo forest can be said to be the most terrifying place in the south of the Yangtze River. His name was Ghost. Bamboo forest, because it is said that people who enter this bamboo forest will get lost. If you are lucky, you will be fascinated by it for a few days and then come out in a daze. And Qian Yuechan practiced bitterly in a hut in the valley behind the ghost bamboo forest. This hut was called the Sword Hut by the masters who really knew the female sword emperor in the rivers and lakes, but only very few people knew about it. The thatched cottage is a place that leads to a mysterious place. Qian Yuechan, who was seriously injured and dying, was carried into that mysterious place by twelve sword boys. Your Majesty asked me to come to Song Dynasty this time, but to let me I'm going to explore that mysterious place."

The expression on Bai Zixuan's face fluctuated, he didn't know what to think in his mind, and after a while, he said: "So that's the case. Junior brother should pay attention to his own safety."

Bai Canghai said: "Senior brother, don't worry, Your Majesty has ordered that I can mobilize the security department and Zhou Jie's men near the south of the Yangtze River at any time. Of course, if the manpower is insufficient, the senior brother's Tianji Mansion may also be in trouble."

Bai Zixuan said: "Junior Brother, even His Majesty did not enter such a mysterious place back then, so it must be extremely dangerous inside. Although Junior Brother is already a top-notch expert, he is also the General of Xiangfu Country Town East, so it is not possible Act rashly and risk yourself. It is better to wait for the senior brother to send some people to attack the outpost first, and then the junior brother can enter again."

Bai Canghai hesitated for a while, and said, "That's fine."

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, senior brother, this Iron Sword Villa really has nothing to do with our Jianzhuang?"

Bai Zixuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

Bai Canghai's expression became serious, and he said: "Before coming, Your Majesty said that if this Iron Sword Villa really has nothing to do with senior brother, then it is very likely that Zhang Wumeng, the Northern Taiping Sect, instructed his big disciple Guo Wuwei to establish it."

Bai Zixuan froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Bai Canghai, and said, "That's right, Guo Wuwei is a top-notch expert, and he was the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty back then. Poor, he is an extremely powerful person. There has been no big movement in Jinyang City these years, and he will never really be an official of the Song Dynasty as shown in the statement. If we say that the sudden rise of Iron Sword Villa It’s really possible that it’s related to it.”

Bai Canghai turned his head to look at the mountain gate of Huqiu Mountain, the fighting spirit in his eyes instantly soared, and he said, "Whether it is related to Guo Wuwei, you will know if you try it today."

The two were talking, but before they knew it, they had already arrived at the gate of Huqiu Mountain. They got off the carriage and looked up.

Outside the mountain gate, there is a small market, a small river meanders through it, and there are three or five painting boats parked by the riverside, and charming smiles like silver bells can be heard from the painting boats from time to time.

After entering the mountain gate, there are many small shops on both sides, and there are many beggars. When they see someone coming, they gather around to beg.

Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai glanced at each other, but secretly guessed in their hearts: "I wonder if there are any spies from the Ministry of Security among these beggars?"

When he was thinking to himself, the two had already arrived at the famous Thousand People Rock in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is only one big rock that can seat thousands of people. At a glance, not only can you not see the side, you can't even see a blade of grass. There is a small stone platform to the north of the big rock.

Bai Zixuan said leisurely: "It is said that in the past, King Helu of Wu used a thousand craftsmen to build a tomb here. Buried alive under this stone, so this stone is called 'Thousand People's Stone'."

This cruel story was narrated from Bai Zixuan's mouth, but it seemed that there was no smell of blood left. Bai Canghai couldn't help asking: "Then what is the stone platform?"

Bai Zixuan said: "That is the lecture platform of the divine monk Zhu Daosheng, and there are four seal characters written by Li Yangbing of the Tang Dynasty on it, which means 'Shenggong Platform'. The stone next to the white lotus pond is the famous nodding stone. As the saying goes, "When the Duke speaks, the stubborn stone nods", and this allusion comes from here."

Bai Canghai knew that Bai Zixuan had always been talented in civil and military affairs, knowledgeable and familiar with all kinds of classics. Although it was not surprising, he couldn't help yearning for it after hearing it.

Then they walked onto the legendary Jiangnan Sword Pool.

I saw dense forests on all sides, and Xiaobi was secluded and emerald.A wooden bridge lies across the pool like a rainbow. The water in the pool is green and cold, with duckweed dotted on it.

Standing by the pool, Bai Canghai felt a gust of coldness rushing toward his face, and there seemed to be bursts of murderous aura hidden in the blue water of the pool.He couldn't help but stare at the sword pond, but his eyes became brighter and brighter as time went by.
