"Bang, Bang, Bang", it was late at night, and the sound of the updater knocking on Bangzi was clearly heard. Occasionally, evil dogs barked wildly, and then they were scolded by their master and shut up obediently.

In the most remote corner of Baocheng, a young man was lying on a pile of firewood, staring at the stars and moon hanging high in the night sky with his eyes empty, not knowing what he was thinking or nothing. He was holding it in his hand

A slender iron sword, the sword body was dim and dull, like a dead object.

Tuoba Jian, a genius disciple of Lingbo Pavilion, once broke into Lingyun Peak to challenge Xuanyuan's disciples, but was defeated by Fu Jingtao's technique of combining the two swords. The sword heart was broken, and the sword soul that was raised for many years was silent and became even ordinary.

Swordsmen are not as good as those.

After defeating the heroes in the world, he returned to his master's sect without any shame, left Lingyun Peak in a daze, and wandered all the way to Hanzhong. Soon he was exhausted, and he was unwilling to learn from the thief who was robbing his family, so he finally chose to live in Baocheng temporarily.

By going into the mountains to harvest firewood, chop firewood to make a living.

The hand that is used to holding the hilt of the sword is now used to cutting hatchets.

The iron sword that had once pursued the soul and died completely lost its spirit. It was reluctant to let go and had no shame to wield it. The iron sword was very light, but it was as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hand, and it could not exert its past agility as a snake.

The characteristics of being as fast as lightning.

It is a great sadness for a swordsman who regards his life as his life, but cannot perform his sword skills.

Tuoba Jian knew the crux of the problem, he only needed to defeat Fu Jingtao once, restore his self-confidence, and then he could reawaken the sword soul and dominate the world!

But it is not easy to defeat Fu Jingtao! He has entered the Martial Saint Hall to practice and has come into contact with the superior skills of Xuanyuan Gate. His strength is bound to be higher than that. Why should he defeat the other party? With the hatchet that chops wood every day? He goes in and I retreat.

, the gap is difficult to make up.

Suddenly, the sound of "Dangdang" warning gong sounded on the city wall. The next moment, the sound of weapons and shouts of killing came from the southeast, resounding throughout the city.

A thief attacked Baocheng at night?!

Tuoba Jian's cold and empty eyes finally rose a little wave. He quickly wrapped the iron sword with cloth and inserted it behind him, standing on a high place and looking southeast.

I saw the city wall and the south gate, the fire was shining, the swords and guns were shining, and the feathers and arrows were dense like locusts, and hundreds of soldiers wearing armor were fighting! Looking at the weapons and clothes, both sides were actually imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, and I don’t know why it happened.

Internal strife.

The attacking party climbed up and rushed forward, rushing like thunder, killing the defenders to retreat step by step. They then opened the city gate, and the sound of hooves roared, and a team of brave cavalry broke into the city, and kept passing through the long street and pounced towards the north gate.

.Depending on the situation, the attacking party must open the two gates of the north and south and enter the Baoxie Road.

The defenders were defeated in a hurry, how could they be willing to do so? But when the trumpet sounded, the soldiers wearing horses in the barracks rushed to the north gate to gather, and then brought in crossbows and crossbows, setting up deer antlers to resist horses on the streets.

A more tragic battle is about to break out.

This sudden battle shocked the whole city. No one dared to step out of the house and join in the fun. The lights were all gone, and they hid in the quilt and prayed secretly, not to be affected by the war.

"Hmph, the dog bites the dog!" Tuoba Jian sat cross-legged without any fun.

He closed his eyes, guarded the square of the spiritual platform, and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth according to his unique method. The true qi in the meridians circulates, constantly consolidating and strengthening the Qi sea of ​​Dantian. Although his swordsmanship has greatly regressed, he still insisted on practicing every day, retaining a faint feeling as weak as a candle.

Hope.

As the most outstanding disciple of Lingbo Pavilion, practicing martial arts has become an instinct, just like eating and drinking water.

The long night passed, and the fish belly turned white in the east.

Tuoba Jian finally finished his practice, slowly opened his eyes, feeling the true energy filled with the dantian, and a touch of vitality finally emerged on his face as cold as an iceberg. Over time, water droplets pass through the stone. As long as he practiced persistently, he would be able to swing his sword again.

Jianghu.

The battle last night had already subsided, and the city was filled with a solemn atmosphere. The clanging sound of soldiers and sporadic fighting sounds came to my ears from time to time, and the sound of the horse's hooves was quick and slow.

The usual noisy morning market is cold and silent, and every household is locked and waiting for the government to notify.

Tuoba Jian stretched his waist, his eyes scattered, his whole body trembled, as if something indescribable pierced into his eyes, and a brief blank appeared in his mind.

I saw a girl with long hair and armor lying under the pile of firewood. She lay on the ground with a pretty white face, and her slightly frown eyebrows were a little bit furious.

The helpless pain of being pitiful. Looking closely, the armor behind her should have been sunken, and she was hit by heavy weapons such as hammers or axes, which hurt her internal organs, and she suddenly fainted while escaping.

Tuoba Jian's heart was pounding, and his blood surged on his head, and he felt inexplicably dry. Since he entered Lingbo Pavilion to practice swords, he had fought and fought hard almost every day, and had already made a heart of iron and stone, and the sword was ruthless.

If a woman kills someone, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot impress him at all.

But at this moment, deep in his heart, he was suddenly touched by the weak and helpless girl.

Tuoba Jian jumped to the ground lightly, first explored the girl's breath, then whispered to her pulse, "Girl, girl! Wake up!"

The girl's eyes were closed and she had no reaction to the outside world.

Tuoba Jian's heart was slightly sank. If she didn't treat her in time, she might not be able to wake up. She took out a treasured pill in her arms, pried open her teeth and stuffed it in.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a heavy footsteps coming from the alley, followed by a banging door slap, shouting, and a raucous noise.

Tuoba Jian knew that the defenders had begun to investigate the whole city in a household. He picked up the girl with both hands, moved her to a corner of the courtyard, and then quickly built a huge pile of firewood around her to completely cover her.

The figure. After all this, with a bang, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, and an imperial guard with a spear broke in with great strides.

Tuoba Jian stood up in a lurking manner and said lightly: "What's the point of doing military officer?"

The imperial guards glanced at the small courtyard full of firewood and the dilapidated thatched hut, and shouted: "Boy, do you live here alone?"

Tuoba Jian said: "Yes! My parents died early and made a living by chopping wood since childhood."

The imperial guards walked into the thatched hut, poked the spear and inserted it, and asked, "Have you seen the thief this morning?"

Tuoba Jian shook his head and said, "No."

The Imperial Guard said, "Remember, those who hide thieves will be killed immediately! If the thief is found to sue in time, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver once it is verified!"

Tuoba Jian said: "June, where did the thieves who broke into the city last night come from? Why did they offer such a high silver reward?"

The imperial guards said impatiently: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, be careful to get angry!"
