Under the moonlight, Jiang Tao's body was slightly bent, with his left hand holding the scabbard and his right hand on the hilt. He looked extremely relaxed, and his expression was as calm as the bright moon in the sky. In the tense atmosphere, he actually showed a bit of freehandism.
posture.
He didn't seem to be preparing for the tense fight in the next moment, but instead seemed to be writing an article with a pen.
It was obvious that he had flaws everywhere, but the man in black he was looking at was completely stiff and did not dare to move, a drop of cold sweat slowly falling from his forehead.
The sword-drawing technique is most terrifying when the sword is still in the scabbard!
Once you draw your sword, you will move forward without hesitation. Either you die or I die...
At this time, in Jiang Tao's eyes, there was nothing else but the enemy in his eyes. Even the target's two helpers were ignored by him. Jiang Tao, who was silent in the next blow of the sword, forgot everything.
His injured mouth was bleeding, and a drop of blood slowly dripped from the corner of his mouth.
From afar, Mr. Baoshou's voice was heard urging the three men in black to capture Jiang Tao and go to meet the protector.
Jiang Tao, who had nothing else to do, moved his eyelids slightly.
"Get him, no matter the cost!" The man in black, who was stared at by Jiang Tao, said in a deep voice. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to wait any longer. Mr. Baoshou's urging was one thing, but it was Jiang Tao who was really interested in him at this time.
It is too dangerous and this deadlock must be broken immediately.
Although he said that, the man in black stepped back as soon as he spoke. He was not sure to take Jiang Tao's charged sword.
Since Jiang Tao's target is himself, he should let his two companions capture him. If he retreats by himself, it will be useless even if he accumulates power for so long.
When the man in black spoke, Jiang Bian's eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed through his eyes. His body, which had been relaxed to the extreme, tensed up instantly. He held the sword, drew it, stepped forward, and stabbed...
Whoa, the sword came out, the cold light dazzled the eyes under the moonlight, and the coldness penetrated into the bones.
However, Jiang Tao was stunned. He moved for a moment and lowered his head slightly in shock. Where is my sword?
Where did the sword that was in my hand just now go? It was such a big sword.
Jiang Tao was about to use the sword-drawing technique to pull an enemy back, but the sword that was in his hand a second ago disappeared inexplicably.
The sword in his hand was indeed unsheathed, but it was not Jiang Tao who stabbed it, but the sword flew away on its own, so fast that Jiang Tao didn't react.
Puff~!
The long sword flew away in the air, so fast that its traces could only be vaguely caught by the occasional reflection of moonlight, like a stream of light in the night sky.
The two men in black rushed toward Jiang Tao. Their movements froze late in the day, and their necks were cut off directly by the sharp sword. Blood spurted out, and their heads were spinning in the air.
The two people whose bodies and heads were separated were not dead at this moment. Everything they saw in their eyes was spinning. Finally, their heads fell to the ground. The last thing they saw in their lives was the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight tonight is so beautiful...
"What kind of swordsmanship is this? It's not a swordsmanship at all..."
The man in black, who was supposed to be Jiang Tao's target, stopped retreating and immediately opened his eyes.
Damn it, is this the way to draw a sword? To take off a long sword and dance in the air? Especially when the speed is so fast that there is no chance for people to react. This is not a sword technique that can be performed in the acquired realm. No, I have never heard of it in the innate realm.
There is such a thing.
The long sword flying in the air drew a beautiful arc, and instantly pierced towards the last man in black, cutting through the air and making a harsh sound.
The reaction of the last man in black was not unpleasant. Knowing that he could not avoid it, he immediately used body protection skills to resist.
Buzz~!
The inner energy in his body surged, his clothes fluttered, and his skin instantly turned into a golden bronze color with a metallic luster. His whole body seemed as indestructible as cast bronze.
What he used was a relatively advanced level of horizontal kung fu called Tong Ren Kung Fu. He had practiced it to the point where the man in black was already invulnerable to ordinary swords once he used it.
The man in black was confident that he could use his Bronze Man Kung Fu to resist the long sword without any internal strength.
Ding~!
Almost at the moment he performed the Tongren Kung Fu, a sharp sword came from the air and pierced his throat. Sparks shot out. He was obviously a body of flesh and blood, but under the horizontal training of the Tongren Kung Fu, he actually emitted
The sound of clashing golden bells.
The man in black's eyes widened at this moment. He felt that the force of the sword was so terrifying. He felt as if he had been hit by a crazed iron bull. His whole body was pushed back by the long sword and he couldn't help but retreat. His feet were
Long furrows were plowed into the ground.
Fortunately, he was very powerful in the Bronze Man Skill. Although the force of the long sword was terrifying, it was blocked by him. However, the man in black did not feel comfortable. The bones in his neck were cracking, as if they were about to break at any time.
"If this continues, I will die. Although the power of the long sword here is terrifying, the material itself is not that outstanding. I have to break it to have a chance of survival!"
The man in black, who was pushed back by the long sword, instantly made half a move. Immediately, his whole body suddenly sank, and his legs sank a foot deep into the ground.
broken.
As he stopped, the long sword containing terrifying power began to bend and was about to break.
But who would have expected that the strength on the long sword suddenly disappeared, and the sword instantly returned to its straight position. Before the man in black could react happily, the sharp sword on his neck began to rotate rapidly, and the rotating blade was very fast.
It brought up a strong wind!
As the sword rotated, the tip of the sword where it came into contact with the man in black's neck turned red and sparks shot out.
The man in black, who had not expected this change, tried his best to activate the Tongren Kung Fu. However, he could not hold on for two breaths. The horizontally practicing kung fu technique was broken by the high-speed rotating long sword. Then, the long sword penetrated his neck with a pop.
, a blood hole appeared on the throat of the man in black, penetrating from front to back, and the blood mixed with air and turned into blood bubbles gushing out...
The long sword pierced the neck of the man in black and flew around in the air. Finally, it was inserted back into the scabbard in Jiang Tao's hand without missing a beat.
All this is a long story, but it actually only takes a few breaths. The reason why it takes so long is because the long sword made of poor material took a while to break through the body-protecting skills of the man in black.
The whole process looked as if Jiang Tao was performing the sword-drawing technique, the long sword flew out to harvest the lives of the three men in black and then the sword flew back.
At least the three dead men in black thought so.
But Jiang Tao knew that he did not do this, but the sword flew away on its own.
After glancing at the three dead and dying men in black, Jiang Tao lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand. What was going on?
Being at an absolute disadvantage, I actually made a comeback inexplicably...
Not being stupid, he quickly figured out the key, and immediately raised his head and said into the night: "I don't know where the master can help me. I am very grateful. Please show up and see me so that I can repay my life-saving grace..."
No one responded, the bright moon hung high, and the clear light fell on the world. It seemed that everything before was just an illusion to Jiang Tao, but the corpses of the three men in black told him that it was real.
"I'm afraid it's just an expert doing it casually. He won't take such a small thing as saving my life to heart at all." He murmured in his heart, but Jiang Tao still showed his attitude, bowed respectfully into the night and said:
"The junior once again thanks the senior for saving his life. If he is called upon in the future and does not violate the law and morality, the junior will definitely go through fire and water without giving up."
Even if you are a scholar, you are not as reckless as people in the world of martial arts in repaying kindness. Even if you repay kindness, it should only be within the scope of law and morality, and you will never do such reckless things.
It’s not that I’m being helpless, it’s just that there is a time when I really want to repay a favor, but what I do violates the law and morality. At the worst, I can only return my life to my benefactor. The bottom line of a scholar must be...
The so-called master... If standing tall is considered a master, then the cloud scene standing above the clouds is really a master.
Getting rid of the three men in black to rescue Jiang Tao was just a matter of thought for him.
What? Yunjing, as a scholar, killed innocent people indiscriminately? Are those three men in black good people? Should they accept legal sanctions even if they are not good people?
But what does the mysterious man in black do have to do with Yun Jing? The key is that no one knows what the man in black looks like...
You insist on saying that he did it, but there are no fingerprints left, so why should you accuse him unjustly?
Apart from such things, Jiang Tao should have left as soon as possible and reported all the suspicious things about the Changsheng Palace for investigation. However, he thought that the chief messenger who commanded the three men in black seemed to be not far away, and his voice was quite loud.
To be familiar with...
"It seems to be the voice of Mr. Baoshou. Isn't he a well-respected and kind man? How could he instruct the man in black to kill me? If it wasn't him, could it be that someone was pretending to frame me?"
Everything must be based on evidence.
Each of the three men in black was already more powerful than Jiang Tao himself. The main messenger was definitely stronger, but he still decided to confirm it.
He knew that it was extremely dangerous to go there, and 90% of the time he wouldn't be able to come back, but he still wanted to go.
Because he is a scholar, if he just doubts the main messenger, Mr. Nai Baoshou, such suspicion is equivalent to frame-up without evidence. A real scholar will not handle things based on suspicion. This is the bottom line issue.
Pedantic?
It is indeed a bit pedantic, but this is the scholar of this era.
It is not unreasonable for scholars to be superior to others in this era, not just in terms of knowledge, and not just because scholars have only half a foot in the officialdom, the management class, because there are so many things about scholars that deserve people's heartfelt respect.
Perhaps to many people in Yunjing's previous life, the "respectable" aspects of scholars in this era seemed ridiculous, but in this world, those seemingly pedantic or even brainless aspects are the true manifestations of noble character!
"The father and daughter were also there. They were stopped by someone suspected of being Mr. Baoshou. It might be detrimental to them. The father and daughter are very capable. Maybe I can't help at all, but scholars can do something.
If you don’t do anything, how can you turn a blind eye just because you can’t help..."
With this thought in his mind, Jiang Tao took a deep breath and silently used his internal energy to recover from his injuries, but he walked in that direction.
If the father and daughter need help, please help as much as possible. As scholars, why should we regret our eight-foot body!
Above the clouds, Yun Jing was slightly surprised when he saw Jiang Tao's actions, and probably understood what he was thinking.
"As expected of a scholar, his literary character is engraved in his bones. No wonder he can stand out in Nujiang County. There are such people in just one county. The four great talents in the near future are quite exciting. I don't know what kind of humanities
Only quality deserves such an honorable title..." Yunjing thought to himself.
At this time, Yun Jing was multi-tasking. While he was busy with Jiang Tao to rescue him, he was also keeping an eye on Mr. Baoshou, Su Xiaoye and the others. Finally, he had to pay attention to Fu'an's movements in the Changsheng Palace.
Logically speaking, Yunjing should go down and reunite with his little wife at this time. They will be a couple in the future, and even if he changes his clothes at this moment, there is nothing he can't do to face her.
The key is that Yunjing has to pay attention to Fu'an. Such foreign visitors with such huge backgrounds can keep Su Xiaoye and the others away as much as possible without involving them. Even though it seems that Su Xiaoye and the others can no longer stay out of the matter, if
It would also be good to reduce some involvement.
As for Baoshou, although his true artistic conception is as high as Yunjing's own two great realms, it is not enough for Yunjing to take too much into consideration. The dangers of Baoshou cannot be compared with Fu'an at all.
Yunjing seems to be 'not there', but in fact he is everywhere...
"Mr. Baoshou wants to take Xiao Yezi and his daughter to Fu'an, and things will definitely go wrong. They are by no means opponents. I have to take action to deal with Baoshou. I am not acting in my true identity. In this case, I have to think about it.
The issue of nicknames is that we can’t just leave a mysterious person with no name or surname afterwards..."
While Yun Jing was still in the mood to think about this, Jiang Tao had already passed below, and Su Xiaoye and Su Orion, the father and daughter, were confused and at the same time their hearts sank into the trough.
Although they didn't know what Baoshou meant by protecting the law, Su Xiaoye and his daughter both heard the implication. This fairy-like old man was clearly here for them!
"Dad, this old guy doesn't seem like a good person, what should we do?"
"Just wait and see what he does. Little Ye Zi, don't act rashly. This person's cultivation is unfathomable. Your father can't handle it. Don't act recklessly, especially the name of your brother Jing's master can't be fooled."
Live him"
"Then why don't we run away?"
"The problem is that this old guy is watching, and we don't have the ability to run away..."
Father and daughter Su Xiaoye secretly looked at each other and communicated with each other. They passed so much information silently as they came and went. Or rather, they were father and daughter. They had such a tacit understanding.
Baoshou was still thinking about what to do to change the impression of the maid appointed by the Grand Master, but he looked into the distance and frowned slightly.
He urged his subordinates to hurry up and finish the matter and come over. There was indeed movement over there, but it ended quickly. The problem was that his subordinates did not respond at all!
"There was an accident..., well, it's not really an accident. I think it was the master who found out that the person who was peeping intervened. It's not a big problem!"
Baoshou figured out the key point almost instantly. It was just Jiang Tao. Even if there was an accident, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble at the moment. It would only be a matter of a little effort later.
Now for Baoshou, the key to the problem is to lure out the people who are peeping in the dark and solve it!
And the peeper, who was well hidden, couldn't keep calm when talking about Su Xiaoye and his daughter. It can be inferred that the peeper cares about the father and daughter very much, so the father and daughter are the key, with them around.
, I don’t believe that the peepers don’t show up.
His mind was racing, and after thinking through the problem, Baoshou felt confident and was still in control.
Without worrying about the accident on Jiang Tao's side, Baoshou looked at Su Orion and smiled: "This... strong man, you and your daughter must be very confused about what I just said. It's actually very simple. Great Lord Fu'an issued a decree to appoint you.
In order to sit down to protect the Dharma, your noble daughter is a maid. I came here to invite the Dharma Protector to return to his position. From now on, we are all colleagues, working under the great lord. We don’t need to be too wary. In fact, we should get closer. I don’t know how to call the Dharma Protector.
?Well, the name is actually not important. The Great Master will give another name to show his kindness when the time comes."
Mr. Baoshou made his words clear directly. Firstly, it is his duty to invite the protector to return to his position. Secondly, he made his words clear so as to draw out the peepers in the dark, killing two birds with one stone.
What he said was so straightforward that Su and his daughter probably couldn't understand it, but they still couldn't understand it clearly.
"Hold on, are you Baoshou? Mr. Baoshou of the Changsheng Palace? The Great Lord you are talking about is the Great Lord Fu'an enshrined in your Changsheng Palace? He appointed me as his protector? My daughter is a maid? Isn't he detached?
Has it been in the world for tens of thousands of years? When did I inform you?" Su Orion immediately glared and asked multiple questions in a row.
Mr. Baoshou said with a kind smile: "There is no need to doubt, I am Baoshou. There is no need to doubt that the Great Master has appointed you and your daughter. Just follow me. After meeting the Great Master, there will be no doubts."
Grinning sneer, Su Orion shouldered the sword and said: "What kind of great lord, I don't know, but you still want me to be a protector and my daughter to be a maid. Bah, did I agree? Who are you going to bury?"
"Dharma Protector must not be disrespectful to the Great Reverend. Remember that you are appointed by the Reverend Supreme Reverend. I have no right to accuse you, but you have to apologize to the Reverend Supreme Reverend and ask for forgiveness afterwards." Baoshou immediately frowned and said.
Narrowing his eyes, Su Orion suddenly said with an expression that he had seen through the truth: "I understand, you guys want to 'buy and sell by force', and you have already made the decision for others. It seems that there is no room for negotiation.
, Tsk, what a big tone, I can see it, Mr. Baoshou, you are five or six people on the surface, but in fact, you are not a good person behind the scenes, so I am afraid that the great master is not a good thing, Changsheng Palace, I am afraid that on the surface
As good as it is on the outside, it’s as bad as it is behind the scenes!”
"Unbridled!" Baoshou snorted suddenly when he heard the words, and the aura of true artistic conception burst out. For an instant, no insects or birds sang within a radius of one kilometer, and the wind seemed to be too frightened to blow.
Father and daughter Su Orion, who were the first to bear the brunt, felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads. They could hardly breathe and collapsed to the ground.
After all, he was born in the army in the early years and had witnessed the scenes of thousands of troops fighting. Su Orion stood up straight under the pressure. As for Su Xiaoye, he simply leaned on a spear to avoid being crushed to the ground by the aura of Baoshou Zhen's artistic conception.
.
Although the father and daughter were under Baoshou's pressure, they gritted their teeth and stared at each other with unyielding expressions.
It probably means the same thing. Although you old man is powerful and we are no match, you can never make us surrender!
Baoshou's breath was flowing freely, and after a small punishment, he put away his momentum and said in a deep voice: "It is your father and daughter's blessing that the Great Lord has decreed it. Don't be ungrateful. If you speak rudely again, it will not be as simple as a small punishment.
Don't blame me for being rude. Huh, now, please protect me and come with me. Your Majesty is still waiting for you to return to your position. Don't let me do it. I don't want your Majesty to wait too long, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.
In fact, I don’t want to see any unpleasantness, after all, we have to work together in the future.”
"Bah, my aunt, I don't want to be a maid, some bullshit Fu'an Grand Master, a shameless thing who ran away from nowhere, he is worthy of it, my aunt's husband is a serious scholar, has a great reputation, is registered in the dynasty, and is protected by the entire country.
"My aunt is my husband's matchmaker and is getting married. His name is corrected in the Japanese register. He shares his worries in front of everyone. He can also exercise power on his behalf when he goes to the temple. He and his husband are both prosperous. How can I tolerate the humiliation of such a young child?" Su Xiaoye suddenly gritted her teeth and said in a ferocious voice. She was extremely angry.
.
Although she is a girl from the countryside, she has also read books. What is a maid? To put it bluntly, she is a servant's plaything that is not even as good as a concubine. She, Su Xiaoye, is a dignified scholar and his wife. To put it bluntly, her future husband
If you step into the temple and enter the palace, it will be easy for you to be appointed. How glorious is it?
Now someone actually asked her to be a maid. What an insult!
Even if it's not for yourself, just for the sake of your husband's face, if you don't get an explanation for this matter, how will you and your husband see each other in the future?
No matter how strong the opponent is, even if he dies, he still needs his full name!
This is not just a matter of words, it has risen to the level of her husband's reputation and her Su Xiaoye's reputation. Even if she dies, these things cannot be stained!
"Idiot, what an honor to be the maid of the Great Lord... Forget it, you don't understand now. Just accept your fate. The Lord has decreed it, and it cannot be doubted. It is impossible to change it. Even if the emperor faces me, I will say the same thing. In the future, you
You will understand how lucky you are..." Mr. Baoshou shook his head and said with an expression like you are in the midst of blessings but don't know how blessed you are.
Standing with a gun in hand, Su Xiaoye gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Although my aunt is a prostitute, she also knows how rebellious your words are. There will be no good today. Even if my aunt dies, she will not let you succeed. If you are lucky enough to escape,
In one section, just by your words, my aunt will be able to send a note to the government in the name of her husband, and you should be punished by confiscating your house and exterminating your family!"
"Do you think I will give you that opportunity? You can't even die in front of me!" Mr. Baoshou said lightly, but he was pondering in his heart. Ordinarily the peepers wouldn't come out? Or should he and Da
Zundu guessed wrong. The other party didn't care about the father and daughter at all?
No matter what, the father and daughter must be taken away.
"What a Changsheng Palace. On the surface, you are benevolent and moral, but secretly you are so dirty. You force others and ignore the law. I have long thought that you are not good people. It turns out that this is your true face. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, how can I ignore it?
..., Girl, don’t be afraid of this uncle. Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I can’t tolerate such recklessness. If you dare to stand up, you have already prepared for the worst. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will report it to the court.
Thoroughly investigate the Changsheng Palace to set the record straight!" Jiang Tao's voice sounded not far away.
He also heard what Mr. Baoshou said when he came over. As a scholar who is loyal to his family and country, he was no less angry than Su Xiaoye and his daughter about what Baoshou said.
He took the initiative to stand up. After saying a word, Baoshou just looked at him lightly, and then he fainted.
As a late acquired man, he couldn't bear even a look in front of Baoshou, whose true artistic conception could hurt people with his will. The gap was too big.
From this we can see that Baoshou was not serious at all when it came to Su Xiaoye and his daughter!
Seeing this situation, Su Orion, who was in the innate realm, knew very well how big the gap between the two sides was. He had no intention of overturning the situation at all. Instead, he looked at Su Xiaoye and said seriously: "Little Yezi, there is no way that this Baoshou will let us go. Dad."
Although you are a rough man, what I want to tell you now is that you are married to someone, and your reputation cannot be stained. Even if it is just words, it is related to the face of your husband's family. Even if you die, you must preserve your reputation. You know what I mean.
?"
"Dad, I understand," Su Xiaoye nodded seriously.
Baoshou said speechlessly: "Dharma Protector, why are you so pessimistic? Well, you don't understand the Great Master, and you will know how ridiculous your current thoughts are in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Baoshou felt the breeze blowing on his face. The next moment, his expression froze blankly, and then he bleeded from all seven holes. He died on the spot and lay down!
"Where did the poison come from? It is colorless and odorless. It seems to be the legendary poison 'Yesterday' that is hard to find. It must have been done by the peeper. His whereabouts are erratic and traceless. Is it hard to believe that he is an assassin?"
At the moment of death, Baoshou only had these thoughts in his mind.
Su Orion and his daughter looked at each other, both eyes filled with question marks.
Everything was on point. Baoshou, beeping for a long time, why did he suddenly die?
This death was too simple.
Just like a dream.
Above the clouds, Yun Jingxin said, "I can't kill you if you bully my wife. Fortunately, I still had some of the poison I got from the killer organization yesterday, which came in handy. It's really a must-have for every general."
How is it possible for Yunjing, who is only late in life the day after tomorrow, to fight Baoshou in Zhenyijing? Why go to all that trouble when he can be easily killed?
You see, once the poison is released and the wind blows, it can be easily solved and save a lot of trouble.
In terms of assassination methods, Yunjing said that he was second in the world. I guess no one would object, right?
As for the question of who has the best assassination skills in the world, no matter who he is, there is nothing wrong with being modest anyway.
"Dad, what's going on?" Su Xiaoye looked at Baoshou's body and said blankly. She was already prepared for the death preservation festival, why did it suddenly become like this?
Scratching his head, Su Orion spread his hands with lingering fear and said, "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Blinking, Su Xiaoye felt blessed and suddenly thought of her brother Jing who could fly and had many strange tricks. Then he subconsciously looked up at the sky.
In the end, she didn't see anything. The cloud scene was above the very high clouds. It was strange that she could see it at night, not during the day.
Precisely because she didn't see anything, Su Xiaoye felt calmer that her brother Jing must be helping behind the scenes.
Ever since, the girl's heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.
It feels so good to be protected by your sweetheart all the time.
"Brother Jing, I know it's you," Su Xiaoye, who looked up at the sky, said silently. She knew that Yun Jing must "hear" what she said.
As for why her brother Jing didn't show up, Su Xiaoye guessed that Yun Jing must have his own reasons.
