Aspirations

Chapter 18 Interception
Before Huaguan and Muen were on business in Shangjing, they were bandits on Yanshan Mountain.Later, the government encircled and suppressed them, and the two were arrested. They were taken to the prison in Shangjing.Later, when Yan Hao was looking for desperados to form a secret team that was ostensibly Gao Jianyuan but was secretly used for himself, he chose Huaguan and Muen.

The two escaped from death, grateful for Yan Hao's life-saving grace, and naturally obeyed Yan Hao.Soon after, Huaguan and Mu En were officially employed in Shangjing Mansion, and they became the official clerks of Shangjing Mansion.Of course, on the surface, he was an official, but he was still working for Gao Jianyuan in secret.The governor of Shangjing is the third prince, and they also understand that they are actually serving for the third prince.It's just that they don't say that they can meet the third prince. Usually, even Gao Jianyuan rarely sees each other. It is Yan Hao who gives orders to them.

It is said that the two of them are also used to listening to Yan Hao's words, so they shouldn't complain about the trip to Zhongshan Village this time, but it's just that there has been a lot of wind in Beijing recently, and a major event is approaching. A small mountain village, wouldn't you be annoyed if you missed a great opportunity?It's also that the two of them gradually opened their eyes since they came to Shangjing, and they were quite scornful that Yan Hao never introduced them to know Gao Jianyuan.The two also knew clearly that Yan Hao only used the pieces that were not available or discarded when they were available.

The chess piece is not willing to be a chess piece at the mercy of others forever, not to mention that Hua Guan and Mu En think that they are much more capable than Yan Hao, why should they follow Yan Hao's command?The most important thing is that the two of them have risen step by step in Shangjing, and they are about to be promoted to the military attache from the seventh rank, and they are no longer the Wuxia Amon of the year.If they can get rid of Yan Hao's control and directly become the personal soldiers of the third prince, the promotion of the two is just around the corner.

It's just that Yan Hao stands between the two of them and the third prince for a day, and the two of them will never be able to make their mark!

Originally, Yan Hao had asked the two of them to set off overnight.They thought they were unaware, but unexpectedly Yan Hao was waiting at the city gate early in the morning. The two of them were scolded by Yan Hao in the face, but they did not dare to say a word.

Hua Guan and Mu En had always been used to bullying men and women before they became pirates.After being a clerk in Shangjing, it is difficult to change the former bandit anger.In addition, after being scolded by Yan Hao, I was so angry that I had nowhere to vent. I originally wanted to vent my anger on Li Guanyu, but Li Guanyu was also a thorn.

In fact, Li Guanyu is not satisfied with the softness. If Li Guanyu continues to persevere, Huaguan and Muen will not dare to make things bigger. First, they are officials and they dare not be presumptuous in public.The second is that the two of them have important tasks and will not stay for long.However, Li Guanyu bowed his head and gave in. His concession actually aroused Hua Guan and Mu En's arrogance even more.

Jiangshan is easy to change, but their nature is hard to change. Although Huaguan and Muen became officials, it is still difficult to change their rogue.The two were in Shangjing, they were self-reliant on their identities and dared not do anything wrong.Now out of the happy forest more than [-] miles away from the upper capital, it was early morning when there was no one left or right.

Mu En said coldly, "If you know you're wrong, don't fry three catties of fried dough sticks again and bring them up."

"Yes, yes!" Li Guanyu felt resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Pack it up, Master wants to eat on the way." Huaguan wiped his mouth, seeing that the sky was getting brighter and there were more passers-by, and he was worried that it would be bad if things would get bigger and cause onlookers, "Hurry up, Master has to hurry."

Li Guanyu swiftly wrapped the fried dough sticks in oiled paper, tied a thin hemp rope, and handed it over: "The two guests have put it away, a total of three hundred wen."

Li Guanyu regretted it as soon as he said it. The two in front of him were deliberately looking for trouble, and it was clear that they wanted to eat the Overlord's meal. How could he dare to collect money?It was also his habit, and he said it without even thinking about opening his mouth.

"What, three hundred wen? Do you want to steal money?" Mu En used to eat for free before, and was used to taking things and leaving. Although he had calmed down a lot after becoming an official, his anger was still there, and he stared at him. He patted the table, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you thirty pieces!"

"Crack", a piece of [-] coin was slapped on the table.

Li Guanyu was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand hesitantly.It's no wonder that he has eyes open when he sees money. For a small businessman, where has he seen Qian Yin with thirty pennies?He also knew that the two of them were trying to tease him, but they still took a chance. If they really made thirty taels, but thirty taels of silver was thirty taels more than the one tael they were rewarded last time. times.Thirty strings is enough for him to take concubines.

With a thought of greed, Li Guanyu couldn't get the hand that Li Guanyu wanted to withdraw. The thirty Qian Yin on the table seemed to be a hugely attractive treasure. His hand moved forward little by little, getting closer and closer to the Qian Yin. Two feet, one foot, half a foot...

Seeing that Li Guanyu's right hand was only half a foot away from Qian Yin, something suddenly appeared out of thin air, black and flat, flat and long, shot down from top to bottom, and hit the back of Li Guanyu's right hand with a "bang". As fast as lightning flint.

"Ah!" Li Guanyu exclaimed in surprise, and then cried out in pain, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, it hurts me to death!"

Li Guanyu's right hand was laid flat on the table, and on top of it was a black scabbard - fortunately it was the scabbard, if it was the back of the sword, his entire right hand would have to be abolished.But even so, three fingers of his right hand were broken due to excessive force.

Li Guanyu jumped his feet in pain, but he couldn't withdraw his right hand, which was tightly pressed under the scabbard.One end of the scabbard is Mu En's right hand.Mu En sneered again and again, and said gloomily: "I really dare to ask for it, I have never seen a store like yours before. You are more courageous than the sky, don't you want money or death?"

"Forgive your life, spare your life!" Li Guanyu sweated on his head, his expression twisted, and his waist was so painful that he couldn't straighten up. "The guest officer spared Xiao, but Xiao really knew it was wrong. You don't need money for fried dough sticks, so I'll send you off to the guest officer."

"I didn't intend to give you money. I didn't expect you to be greedy enough to swallow an elephant. You dare to ask for [-] yuan of money. You really eat the guts of a bear and a leopard." Hua Guan drew a knife in his hand and gestured in Li Guanyu's hand. A few times, "You said, what would happen if I cut off your hand with one knife?"

"If you cut off his hand with one knife, your head will fall to the ground!"

Li Guanyu was so frightened that his face was pale, his legs were trembling, and he could not stand still. Hearing that he was about to cut off his hands, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a "thump". The voice sounded from behind.

Li Guanyu looked back and saw a person standing not far behind him, dressed in black, wearing light boots, with a graceful figure, thin shoulders and wide hips, wearing a light gauze hat on his head, he couldn't see his appearance, but only from his body could tell that he should be A stunning woman.

She holds a sword in her right hand and a white horse in her left.At the previous stop, in the dim morning light, the wind was blowing and the yarn was moving, and there was a feeling of floating like a fairy.

"Who?" Hua Guan couldn't care about Li Guanyu anymore, slashed the knife horizontally, walked quickly to the woman, looked at the woman up and down, and suddenly laughed, "A female classmate dares to say big things that make my head fall to the ground. , girl, if it was before, the Lord would have told you that you could not live or die, but now you are a member of the official family and do not have the same knowledge as you. If you accompany you to the Lord, show your little face to let the Lord take a look, and the Lord will let you go. horse."

The long knife in Hua Guan's hand was horizontal, and the tip of the knife was sent forward to pick the black veil on the woman's hat.

"Dang", a crisp sound of weapons intersecting, Huaguan only felt a flower in front of him, and a strong force came, the knife in his hand could no longer be held, and he let go and flew out, instantly flying several meters away, "Bang" With a bang, it was nailed to a big tree, and the entire tip of the knife did not go into the tree.

Visible power.

Hua was astonished at his concern. He also knew that his kung fu was not in the top ranks, but he was not a flower fist and embroidered his legs.But he never imagined that the long knife in his hand would fly out of his hand with only one face to face, and the other side would pick it up lightly. Such a master is almost on a par with Yan Hao!
Another reason why Hua Guan and Mu En are still obedient to Yan Hao despite their dissatisfaction with Yan Hao is because Yan Hao's martial arts are strong, and with Yan Hao's skill, it is easy to kill the two of them.Yan Hao is ranked among the top ten masters in Daxia. His reputation is well-deserved and his kung fu is unfathomable. Hua Guan and Mu En once fought against Yan Hao, and within five moves, they were taken by Yan Hao, and there was no resistance at all. force.

Yan Hao was the only master they had ever seen in their lives. As for the other nine masters who were as famous as Yan Hao, the two did not know their names, nor did they hear rumors of where the nine masters were.Only the statement that Yan Hao is one of the top ten masters is known to everyone in the capital.

Could it be that the woman in front of her is one of the other nine masters who are as famous as Yan Hao?A thought flashed in Hua Guan's mind, and before he could react, the woman's figure flashed and she turned sideways behind Hua Guan. Hua Guan only felt a sharp whistling sound behind him. Well, there is still time to turn around, the right ear is cold, then hot, and the blood is rushing down the right face.

After a brief blank in his mind, Hua Guan immediately understood something. He touched his right hand, and sure enough, his right ear was gone. A piercing pain came. He jumped up, pulled out the dagger hidden in his waist, and turned around to face the woman. Chest stab.

"I kill you!"

Although she is afraid of the unfathomable skills of the woman, the flower in her anger can't care much, she just wants to kill the woman to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Mu En held a stand-by attitude and wanted to watch a good show. The other party was just a weak woman, maybe not Huaguan's one-shot enemy.Unexpectedly, things went beyond his expectations. Huaguan lost an ear in just one encounter. He was so shocked that he couldn't bear to suppress Li Guanyu with the scabbard. He jumped up, took the knife in his hand, and flew forward. , stabbed the woman in the back with a knife.

In terms of fighting alone, Hua Guan and Mu En are not experts at all, they are far from being in the stream.The biggest reliance of the two is that they are cruel and ruthless.Whoever is more aggressive, whoever is more ruthless, has the upper hand.

In addition to being ruthless, the cooperation between the two is flawless.When it comes to singles, Hua Guan and Mu En can block three with one, but once they join forces, they can block ten with two.It is the incomparably tacit union of the two that is what Yan Hao values ​​most about them.Yan Hao personally tried to test the two of them. He and one of the two played singles, and neither of them could last five rounds.If the two cooperated, they could fight against him within twenty moves.

Mu En saw that Huaguan stabbed the woman's chest, and he knew that Huaguan wanted him to attack the woman's back. One after the other, it was the enemy on the back and the belly. He expected that the woman would be in a hurry when she was attacked from the front and back.

Muen and Huaguan are both swordsmen, but Huaguan's sword is a horizontal sword.There is both the wind of the king of the sword and the spirit of the tyrant of the sword.However, it is lost in delicacy and might.Mu En's knife is a Mo knife, with a handle of two feet long and a blade of two feet. He holds the knife in both hands and wields it like a tiger.

Hengdao was picked up by the woman with a sword, and Mu En believed that his Modao would not.In terms of weight alone, his knife was more than twice as heavy as Mu En's knife. No matter how strong a woman was, no matter how clever she was, she couldn't succeed with a single sword.So Mu En used a big opening and a big close, and he flew with a knife, thinking that he would succeed in one strike.

The woman didn't look back, and she didn't see her panicking. The summer wind was blowing, and the black veil on her head danced with the wind. As her figure fluttered, half a shocking face was revealed.

Just a glimpse, it is already dazzling.The delicate and picturesque eyebrows, like the eyes of a pool of water, the face as white as jade, and the red lips that are a bit brighter than cherries, are all beautiful and beautiful.

"What a beautiful little lady!" Li Guanyu happened to witness the woman's face revealed after the black veil was lifted lightly. He forgot the pain, and was insane for a while, "There are really beautiful women in this world? Finally opened my eyes."

Not to mention that Li Guanyu was amazed by the beauty of the woman, even Mu En was almost distracted. He was struck by the woman's momentary amorous feelings, and his heart was filled with rippling meaning.Not to mention that he was a lecherous person before, even if he was Liu Xiahui, who was sitting on his arms, he would inevitably be confused by the peerless beauty of the woman, and he would be confused for a while.

Fortunately, he regained consciousness in an instant, because in just a glance, he could see clearly on the woman's beautiful face, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his eyes were full of murderous intentions - ignoring all murderous intentions that regarded human life as a mustard. !
No matter how lustful Mu En was, he didn't dare to lose his mind at this time. He hurriedly held his breath, holding a knife in both hands, and using all his strength, he stabbed the woman in the back.With the power of his Mo Dao, if he succeeded in a single blow, the woman would be cut in half by him.

The knife from Mu En's back is certainly aggressive, and it has the potential to overwhelm the mountains. Huaguan's stab in the chest is like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace.Light and fast, it arrived in the blink of an eye, the dagger shone with a cold light, and with a flash in the wind, it was about to sink into the woman's chest.

As soon as the wind stopped, the black veil on the woman's head fluttered down, covering her face completely, making it difficult to see whether she was terrified or complacent.At the moment when the black gauze floated and fell back, as if the wind was blowing from the ground, the hem of the black gauze suddenly twisted to a strange angle, like a branch that was suddenly broken.

Huaguan still didn't understand what was going on. The figure of the woman who was still close at hand disappeared in a flash. He jumped into the air and couldn't stop it. He rushed forward three or five steps before trying to close it. Stay in shape.Before he had time to turn around to look, there were a few crisp clanging clanging sounds of weapons handing over in his ears.

Accompanied by the last sound of collision, there was the thud of heavy objects falling to dust.No, Hua looked awe-inspiring in concern, and did not look back, listened to the sound to identify the position, raised the dagger in his hand, and flew towards the position of the woman behind him.

Unexpectedly, after the dagger flew out, it fell into the sea like a mud cow, and there was no sound at all.Huaguan turned around and looked at him, and his heart was split in shock—Mu En stood there in a daze, his Mo knife sank more than half a foot into a tree a few feet away, he covered his ears with his left hand, and blood soaked his shoulders .The woman in black stood ten feet away from Mu En, still in the same posture as before, holding the horse in her left hand and holding the sword in the right, but there was an extra dagger in the right hand holding the sword.

If it wasn't for a dagger in her hand, she would seem to have remained in place since she appeared.

Muen also lost?Also got his ears cut off?The shock in Hua's concern is like a surging river. What is her origin, and her skills are so unfathomable. Could it be that someone sent by Li Dingshan made a special trip to kill the two of them here?Thinking of this, he ignored the pain and asked loudly, "Who the hell are you?"

"Go away!" The woman was as calm as water, and only spit out one word.

"Women, please leave your name, so that the two of us can remember what happened today, hum." Mu En lost his left ear, and he hated and hated, but he also knew that if the other party was not merciful, the two of them couldn't tell. Already dead.

"Mantuo." The woman remained motionless, but the murderous aura spread from her body, and her voice became colder, "If you don't get out, when I change my mind, you will have no chance to leave again."

"Let's go!" Hua Guan made a decisive decision and did not linger for a moment. He waved at Muen, and then clenched his fists at the woman, "Little lady, let me write down today's affairs for the two of you, and there will be an appointment later!"

Mu En doesn't say much, it's useless to say more, maybe he will lose his life because of it. He is also a person who has experienced storms and has led a horse, and he does not use the thirty pieces of money thrown on the table. Go away.

Li Guanyu sat paralyzed on the ground, already frightened.Having lived for most of my life, this is the first time I have seen a delicate little lady so powerful. She is very similar to the legendary ranger who kills one person in ten steps without leaving behind.He sat on the ground with his back against the table, gasping for breath, his mind in an unconscious clutter.
