Chapter 252 Bear and Fish(1/2)

The word "black moon and high wind" should have come from the article "Jingzhanglu" written by Yuan Huai of the Yuan Dynasty.

‘Ouyang Gong and others carried out orders, and each wrote two poems. Those who had to commit the crimes above the prisoner... One is: holding a knife to coax the widow, and going to the sea to rob people and ships. One is: The moon is dark and the night is dark, and the wind is high and setting fire to the sky.’

However, in the preface to the article "Hou Xingshu" written by Liqiu later, he wrote: It was night, the moon was dark, the wind was high... This also made the word "dark moon, the wind was high" appear more than a thousand years ago. According to Liqiu, that night was crucial to him.

The early spring wind also carries a bit of bone-broken chill.

It was already past the hour of Hai, and the lights of all the rooms in Wushibao were turned off. However, the lights were still flashing in the northwest courtyard.

Liqiu used an inverted golden crown, hooked his feet on a branch as thick as an arm, and looked down towards the yard. This was a big tree growing outside the yard wall, with lush branches and leaves. Some branches were exploring into the yard and hiding in it, which was very secret.

Looking from outside the courtyard, it seems very common.

But after carefully observing this, Liqiu hung upside down on the tree, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

There are about a dozen houses in the yard, and there are hidden people in the shadow of the rockery trees. These people cannot see clearly, and they are dressed as servants of the Wu family. The weapons in one hand are very exquisite. In the courtyard, there is a strong man like a lion, who looks tall and mighty and murderous. He holds an iron sword and black lily armor, and is sitting in a pavilion next to the rockery.

There is also a young man on the porch of the main hall.

It can be seen that this is a long-standing figure. He is surrounded by a sharp sword, carrying a short bow and arrow pouch, and leaning against the pillar to close his eyes to rest.

Who are these people?

Liqiu was thinking when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"I am Wu Shi, please do not take action."

The strong man in the pavilion stood up and strode to the front of the door. Two men turned out from behind the porch of the courtyard and bowed to the strong man, "Junhou, only the lord of Wushi Castle."

Another military marquis?

Could it be that the man who shoots archery during the day is this strong man? Li Qiu was surprised... This martial arts practitioner needs to listen to all directions and observe the six directions. This must be worth it. The strong man is not bad at his skills and strength, so Li Qiu can see this. But if the continuous pearl arrows were shot by this strong man during the day, Li Qiu didn't believe it. He felt that he did not have such strong power.

While thinking, a gap opened in the courtyard gate.

Wu Shi's body, which looked like a ball, appeared in Liqiu's sight.

He wore a black robe, panting and looking very hard. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and smiled at the strong man.

And the strong man respectfully performed a military etiquette, "June, you are here!"

"As soon as I came back, I heard something happened, so I rushed over... It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly, so I didn't alarm the princess."

Why did another princess run out?

Li Qiu became more and more confused as he listened. While everyone was focusing on Wu Shi's body, his feet loosened and his body fell down. At the same time, he rolled, his feet tread on the branches, rushing up like a night bird, falling lightly on the eaves, crawling and continuing to observe.

At this time, the door of the main hall opened and four people walked out of the room.

The man in the lead was shocked when Li Qiu saw it. This guy is so tall that he should be almost nine feet above him.

He has broad arms and round waist, and black hair, tied into a bun.

The strong man before was nothing. If the strong man was a lion, then this man was a fierce old man. Behind him, there were three people side by side, two tall and one short. The tall one was about eight feet tall, one was burly, and the other was a little thin. There were quite similarities between his eyebrows, and he looked like he was a brother. Li Qiu was a little confused.

The short one is very elegant and thin.

After the four people walked out, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became cold. The handsome young man who closed his eyes and rested under the porch stood up, and Wu Shiwu also rolled forward. He saluted to the leader, "Mr. Liu Jun... Two young masters, really disturbed!"

Lord and Marquis? This is also Lord and Marquis?

How many lords are there in this small courtyard... and two young lords? Although Liqiu has never walked out of Mount Li in his life, he also knows what the title of Shaojun means. What is going on? Liqiu was a little confused.

"I was really neglected during the day!"

After seeing the ceremony, Wu Shiwu smiled bitterly and said, "That child was originally an apprentice of an old friend of mine, but because he caused some trouble, he defected to me. When I first came, I warned him not to get close to this place. I didn't expect that the child was a negligent person, but it was really my negligence."

The nine-foot man was obviously the leader of the four.

He smiled slightly, "Why should you see the outside world? There is something wrong with us. Today, the princess Xiao Ba suddenly slipped out, attracting the child to come. I thought someone came to spy on it, so I took the initiative without saying hello, almost hurting his life... But, he is so handsome? It was beyond my expectations that he actually avoided my three-pronged beads.

When things go, they go, and it’s fine if you don’t hurt anyone.

I am a desperate person and come to ask for help from the Lord. If I really hurt someone, I will definitely feel guilty..."

Wu Shiwu said repeatedly: "Where are there!"

"By the way, I don't know if there is any news about asking the Lord before?"

"Fortunately, I have been doing this for many days, and now I finally have some clues."

"So, let's go into the house and talk."

The strong man gave way, and Wu Shin-chan was not polite. The two walked towards the main hall one by one, one behind, while the three young men of two tall and one short were slightly behind. At this moment, a slight sound came from the eaves, as if the green tiles were broken. The sound was not loud, and if you didn't listen carefully, you would definitely not hear it. The big man didn't pay attention, but it did not mean that others didn't pay attention. The young man who had a short bow on his back suddenly stepped into the air, and the short bow was already in his hand. In an instant, he bent his bow and arrowed, and he brushed a short arrow and came out of the string.

It was Liqiu who made this sound.

After lying on the green tiles for a long time, he wanted to move. But he didn't expect that the green tiles had been a bit unsolid, so they broke. The moment the young man with short bow took action, Li Qiu knew something was wrong. He turned over and stepped on his feet and was about to escape.

The short arrow passed by Liqiu.

And Li Qiu's body has already soared into the air...

A figure rushed out from the shadow under the porch, and a wolf-toothed stick in his hand pointed at Liqiu's body and smashed it hard.

Liqiu was in mid-air and it was difficult to dodge. Seeing the big stick coming, Liqiu had to bite a branch and dodge the attack in an instant. Even so, the sharp wind carried by the big stick made Liqiu's face hurt. It was this delay that the breath was chaotic. Liqiu let out a light cry and landed on the ground. Before he could stand firm, the big stick hit him again, as if he was sweeping across the army.

clang-

The Liqiu sword was unsheathed, and gently shook the big stick, pressed it against the big stick, and led it downwards. If it were an ordinary person, this guide would be enough to fall to the ground with the stick. However, the person holding the stick only made a mess of his steps. Not only did he stop, his body followed the ring of the body drawn by the Liqiu sword. His steps were light, and the single hanging horse was floating, and the three palace steps were round, and the big stick made a move to sweep away thousands of troops.

This time, Liqiu didn't dare to attract another attack!

The opponent's previous stick had an amazing force and had exhausted all his strength. Now it was another stick with the same trick, but Liqiu knew that the opponent's strength on the stick had less than doubled when he was around. If it were Gai Nie, it might be able to pull it away, but Liqiu was unlikely. The stick was very fast and he arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Liqiu had to step back and retreat, which was called avoiding the edge for a while.

In Liqiu's opinion, the opponent's big stick was amazing, and he was a brave guy at that time.

But the principle that the brisk is not lasting and the hardness is easy to break. From the first day of Liqiu's learning of swords, he was instilled by Gai Nie. The so-called "repeated and declining" and "destroyed three times"... The opponent's continuous attacks failed, and he would definitely make adjustments. At that time, it was the time to counterattack.

But unexpectedly, after the visitor shot down again, he roared and the big stick blew another blow.

This guy's steps were too flexible, so flexible that Liqiu could not fight back at all. The wolf-toothed stick was like a wheel, making a whirring sound, forcing Liqiu to retreat repeatedly and in a mess. The man on the porch watched the battle quietly, and everyone on the side looked relaxed.

"Lao Tu, according to Ashin's style of playing, how long can you support it?"

The strong man smiled, "If you fight head-on, I will definitely lose after fifteen moves. But if it is a chariot battle, I can defeat him within fifty moves."

"No, who doesn't know that Ashin is good at stepping down and right away, who fights with your chariot?"

"Shaojun, don't laugh at me... If you face Ashin, how many moves can you do?"

"Twenty rounds are not a problem!"

Wu Shiwu also recognized Liqiu at this time, and rubbed his hands in a hurry, "June, show mercy, this is my old friend's apprentice... The child is ignorant, maybe he is curious for a moment. He will not have any malice, so please show mercy, don't hurt his life."

The big man smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although faith has the upper hand, he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything to this person within a hundred tricks...

This guy’s swordsmanship is not bad, he can actually fight with Xin to this point. By the way, who is your old friend? It’s really not easy!”

"this……"

"If you are embarrassed, there is no need to say anything, I will ask casually."

Wu Shijun shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm not to hide it from the Lord, my old friend... is Gai Nie, a native of Yuci, who was known as the number one swordsman of Wei. He was implicated by the Jing Ke's affairs, so he was taken down by the late emperor and trapped in Mount Li. Before, the previous emperor was buried, and there was a riot in the prisoners of Mount Li. My old friend took advantage of the time to escape from Mount Li, and came here thousands of miles away to join me...

This child is named Liqiu, and he is a prisoner in Mount Li and a disciple of my old friend... Oh, please forgive this boy for being brave and frivolous."

While Wu Shi's mouth was talking, the big stick almost hit Liqiu.

The big man was stunned when he heard this. Gai Nie? This name sounds very familiar!

"Gai Nie, is that the bluefish Gai Nie?"

The person next to him exclaimed, "No wonder this kid is not bad at all. It turns out that he is the disciple of the Qingyu. He is a famous master and a high disciple, and he is indeed extraordinary."

"Shaojun, do you know Gai Nie?"

"How come I don't know... After Jing Ke assassinated the late emperor, all those related to him were arrested. This bluefish was one of them.

At that time, my father led 200 reigns to get him, but this guy single-handed sword killed thirty-seven Iron Eagle Reigns. If my father hadn't designed to hold him later, I was afraid that the 200 reigns would be run away by him. That guy was definitely a top master."

The man's expression couldn't help but be stern.

Are there thirty-seven Iron Eagle Sharpmen? If I really fight, I can kill... but it's too difficult to use the iron sword to kill. At least I can't do such a skillful thing. Well, I remember that when I quelled the Santian Rebellion, the sword that the person who assassinated me at Qinting used was not the only one under the Qingyu Sect? Gai Nie, I didn't expect to meet him here!

The people in this courtyard were Liu Kan and others.

On that day, after hearing the news that the Yuezhi people had attacked and Zhao Ping was defeated, the eldest son Fusu vomited blood and died. Was he angry at this news? Or was he dead because of his serious injury and died? No one can explain this clearly, maybe both of them are both. In short, Fusu is dead!

Fusu's death made everyone confused.

Including Liu Kan, I didn’t know where to go next.

However, confusion always requires sobering. Fusu is dead, but everyone else is still alive, so we must continue to persevere until the end.

Yingguo also lost his opinion.

Later, Li Cheng came up with an idea and suggested asking Wu Shin-san to help.

The man from Wushi is very interesting. He is the prince of the Qin Dynasty, but he is also a Rongdi native. He was a merchant and was destined to be unable to intervene in the political center of the Qin Dynasty like Lu Buwei. He was very loyal to the First Emperor, but he was only loyal to the First Emperor.

He is a businessman and likes to take advantage of things.

He has the blood of the Rongdi people, is generous in nature, likes to make friends, and is quite like Mengchangjun. If he can get his help, it would be a trick. Now there are checkpoints everywhere in the northern border, and it is impossible to escape successfully without anyone help.
To be continued...
