Chapter 299 [The death of the former swordsman in Kyoto Prefecture]
"Bang!"
Everyone saw that Wu Huan's figure became like a ghost in an instant, and actually cut across the crowd of people from the Criminal Department. His fists as strong as steel struck an officer from the Criminal Department in an instant, and that officer
The officer's body was like a kite with its string broken, flying straight out lightly, and then landed heavily on the ground with a dull sound.
It turns out that Wu Huan is not only great at swordsmanship, but also has strong fists.
There was a burst of exclamation from all around, and in the midst of this exclamation, the weapons of several people from the Punishment Department were already attacking Wu Huan's ghostly figure.
This group of officers are all the elites of the Ministry of Justice. They have handled many major and special cases. Their skills are not only hard, but also experienced. They will not even let external factors affect their judgment. Although one of their companions was arrested as soon as they met.
They flew away, but their spirits were not affected in any way. Their weapons were sharp and powerful, and five or six weapons that shone with cold light instantly shrouded Wu Huan in the cold light.
"call out"!
There was a soft chant, which was the sound of a sword whistling. Wu Huan's dagger rotated like a windmill, passing over his head. In the blink of an eye, he repelled the two officers. A gap immediately appeared in the siege circle, and Wu Huan also broke through at this moment.
, turned around and punched another officer on the back. The officer stumbled forward twice and suddenly collapsed.
Wu Huan, in front of the Kyoto Prefecture, would certainly not be so stupid as to kill the officers. He would just make them suffer a little and be injured and unable to attack.
But Wu Huan obviously underestimated the ruthlessness of the officials. Liu Tuo, the minister of punishment, was standing in front of the Yamen to supervise the battle. He also knew that Wu Huan was determined not to kill anyone. Even if they suffered a lot, these officials still had to show off.
.
The simple knife in the hand of a police officer was slashed in the opposite direction, towards Wu Huan's calf.
Since they want to capture the prisoner, the officers certainly understand the meaning of this sentence. As long as the person survives, even if his hands and feet are disabled, it is still a great achievement.
Generally speaking, in addition to the plain knife, the most commonly used weapon by the officials of the Ministry of Justice is the iron ruler. Perhaps to show fairness and justice, the iron ruler is a common weapon in the circle of government officials.
The iron ruler not only has two edges, but is also easy to hide. It is not as visible as a broadsword or a long sword, which is very helpful for espionage work.
Today, Liu Tuo came with only one iron ruler user. This time, those who followed were all elites from the Ministry of Punishment. They were able to stand out from nearly a hundred iron ruler users. This iron ruler man naturally has his own unique skills.
place.
And this is indeed the case.
The moment Pu Dao Chai's broadsword struck Wu Huan, Iron Chi Chai's iron ruler also struck Wu Huan's lower abdomen like lightning.
The Iron Ruler can naturally kill people, but its most important skill lies in tapping acupoints. When officials from the Ministry of Punishment capture criminals, they naturally focus on catching them alive, and tapping acupuncture points is the best way to capture them alive.
These two officers were obviously the most powerful among the criminal department personnel. The criminal department personnel obviously had great confidence in them, so when the two of them joined forces to attack, everyone else stopped in an instant, their faces
Everyone was smiling.
If these two people can't defeat Wu Huan, then it's really a damn thing.
But in this world, there always seem to be things that no one wants to see happen. As everyone saw, when Pu Dao Chai’s Pu Dao slashed at Wu Huan’s calf, Wu Huan didn’t even dodge and allowed him to attack.
But the dagger in his hand was like a snake spitting out a message, and with a "choking" sound, it collided with the iron ruler. The iron ruler only felt numbness in his arm, and the iron ruler almost lost his hand. In shock, Wu Huan's dagger
It had already slid straight along the iron ruler. The iron ruler was unable to dodge. He only felt a cold feeling on his hand veins. The tip of Wuhuan's dagger had already cut through the iron ruler's hand veins, and the iron ruler official
I felt that my whole arm became weak and weak in an instant. As soon as I let go of my hand, the iron ruler fell down involuntarily.
In this change in the blink of an eye, everyone heard the sound of "dang" again. The Pu Dao officer's Pu Dao had already slashed on Wu Huan's calf. A sinister smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the job was done. Today, he was... It's a great achievement.
But the moment Pu Dao made contact with his calf, there was a "dang" sound. Pu Dao Guan Cha's arm was a little numb. He really didn't understand why the calf of flesh and blood was as hard as steel. His sword seemed to be It's like cutting on steel.
It was unbelievable. Before he could think about it, Wu Huan's fist came again, and it was already fierce and fierce, hitting Officer Pu Dao Chai's face, and Officer Pu Dao Chai flew out like a kite.
"ah!"
There were shouts of exclamation, this young man actually had such a powerful ability, and in the blink of an eye he repelled the joint attack of two elite members of the Criminal Department.
Wei Shantai and Xue Poye appeared side by side not far behind Liu Tuo, and also saw the scene at the Yamen Gate.
"Heroes come out of young men, and heroes come out of young men." Wei Shantai sighed with half-squinted eyes: "It seems that I am really old." He seemed to admire Wu Huan very much.
Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled: "Master Wei is well-informed, he must know the secrets on Wu Huan's legs?"
Wu Huan's calf could not be cut with a simple knife, which made Xue Poye very confused. Could it be that there was something installed in the calf?
Wei Shantai glanced at Xue Poye and said with a smile: "If Wu Huan is really good at using the Viper Sword Technique, he must have stayed in the North Country. When he practiced the Viper Sword Technique in the Ice Valley of the North Country, he put his legs into the cold cellar and accumulated them over time, forming the shape of an ice brick. It is extremely hard, and in my opinion, Wu Huan's legs are naturally wrapped in cowhide, so it is really difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt him."
Xue Poye finally understood and nodded in praise: "It's really amazing."
Wei Shantai patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Xue, I never thought that at such a young age, you have learned the essence of being a human being when doing things. You will have a bright future in the future."
Xue Poye didn't know why a dark leader like Wei Shantai praised him so much. He smiled lightly and said: "This junior is a backward man. There are many things that Mr. Wei will need to point out in the future. I just hope that you will not dislike me in the future."
Wei Shantai laughed loudly, waved his hands and said in a low voice: "How dare you, how dare you, we are all running errands for Dachu, so why should we tell each other apart? If you can find me useful in the future, just ask."
Xue Poye frowned. Wei Shantai, an old ghost, has always been very discreet in his work. Although he didn't have much contact with him, Xue Poye felt that this man was a very reserved Tai Chi master. At this time, he suddenly said such words, which implied As a gesture of goodwill, he realized that he couldn't figure out what Wei Shantai was planning.
Xue Poye glanced at Wei Shantai and saw that the dark man's smile had faded. His small but extremely sharp eyes were staring at the door, and his face was even a little gloomy.
Xue Poye followed his eyes and frowned.
He saw the "madman"!
Not far in front of the Kyoto government office, the luxurious carriage has been parked. It was silent from beginning to end. After Wu Huan came out, everyone's attention was focused on Wu Huan, but the carriage was ignored. .
After Wu Huan defeated the two masters of the Punishment Department, everyone in the Punishment Department was dumbfounded amidst the exclamations of the crowd. They forgot to attack for a moment, but at this moment, someone got off the carriage that had been silent.
His hair was messy, his face was covered, and he was dressed in dirty clothes. He looked slovenly and lifeless. He walked towards the Yamen step by step with a long sword as small as a wire in his waist.
Everyone around, including Yulin Wei, Ziyi and the people from the Criminal Department, all felt a terrifying murderous aura when the "madman" appeared.
Perhaps these people really live just to kill, so they always carry that cold murderous aura.
Wu Huan raised his head and saw the madman. His face turned cold at first and then showed a look of excitement, just like a hunter seeing his prey or a beggar who has been hungry for several days seeing a table of delicious food. Because of the excitement, he even
The body is shaking a little.
Of course Wu Huan could feel the murderous aura emanating from the madman. This was also his greatest excitement. Finding an opponent was a supreme honor for a warrior.
Wu Huan stood in front of the yamen like a rock, staring at the madman until the madman stopped, then asked: "Do you use a sword?"
The madman nodded and pulled out the long sword like a steel wire from his waist.
"Wu Huan resists the law and resists arrest in the street. I follow the order of His Highness the Fourth Highness to kill you in the street!" The madman said slowly in blunt Chu language. As he spoke, the tip of his long sword pointed at the ground. Through the messy long hair, a pair of wild wolf-like eyes appeared.
His eyes were shining with fiery light, and he seemed to be excited about finding an opponent.
Without too much verbosity, Wu Huan held his dagger across his chest, his body was like lightning, and he rushed towards the madman without any scruples.
Anyone with a little knowledge can tell that the momentum of Wu Huan's attack this time is not the same as that of the people who dealt with the punishment department before. This time, in terms of strength and momentum, it was several times stronger than before.
The people in the Punishment Department were a little surprised, and even Liu Tuo, who had a gloomy and handsome face not far away, was a little surprised. From this point of view, in Wu Huan's eyes, dealing with the people in the Punishment Department just now might not be much more difficult than a cat playing with a mouse.
The madman raised his sword lightly, faced it, and turned the sword sideways to face him. His movements were elegant and unrestrained, as beautiful as a god. Many people cheered. No one could have imagined that a madman dressed like a beggar could actually use such a beautiful move.
swordsmanship.
From the start of the one-hand gesture to the hand-to-hand confrontation with Wu Huan, Madman looked calm and carefree, without any sloppiness.
Madman's cultivation has reached the Sixth Path. In terms of pure cultivation, Wu Huan is naturally a little behind, but their swordsmanship has already surpassed the Sixth Path, and they are absolute masters of swordsmanship.
As soon as Wu Huan took possession of it, he immediately knew that the madman's overall cultivation level must be above his own. His sword was light and elegant, elusive and invisible. He was the real powerful enemy he had encountered in this life.
He has a fighting spirit, a perseverance and a will to win, and he is also passionate about swordsmanship. He is not afraid of death. Although he knows that the madman has a deep cultivation level, he has no fear at all.
All masters of swordsmanship understand that a sword duel or a moment of inspiration can change life or death in an instant.
Of course, the lunatic is also a sensible person. The simplicity of Wu Huan's swordsmanship is pungent and vicious. He knows how powerful it is, so he is very careful, very careful. He was so careful that at the beginning of the duel, he tried his best to defend his body.
every vulnerability.
The two of them were like ferocious monsters from the prehistoric era, like the ethereal swordsmen above the nine heavens. They were engaged in a life-and-death duel right in front of the Kyoto government office, in full view of the public.
Xue Poye was shocked when he saw this rare duel. Although he knew that Wu Huan and Madman were both prodigies in swordsmanship, he really didn't expect that the duel between the two would be so unpredictable.
The two people were entangled together, with many phantoms and swords fighting each other. During the confrontation, the real appearance of the two people could not be seen clearly. They could only see two lightning-fast figures crisscrossing each other, and the sound of sword roars could be heard from time to time.
.
Xue Poye grabbed his fists excitedly.
He didn't expect that the swordsmanship would have such power once it reached perfection. In his mind, Eunuch Qin used his strength to kill the murderer in the forest that night. It was a unique and unique skill rarely seen in the world.
I really admire the way of Qi, and it is precisely because of this that I actively practice the "Ecstasy Heart Technique". At that time, I never paid attention to the way of sword, until I saw the superb duel between the two, my heart was suddenly shocked:
"I don't know if there is any record of swordsmanship in that booklet?"
"Three Pines in Yinmen!" Wei Shantai sighed in a low voice beside him: "He is indeed a capable character."
Xue Poye touched his nose and asked in a low voice: "In Master Wei's opinion, who among these two can be the winner?"
"What about Mr. Xue's opinion?" Wei Shantai chuckled.
Xue Poye thought for a while and then sighed: "We will never die together?" Looking at the duel between the two swordsman masters, Xue Poye thought of the many stories he had read and heard before. The real masters, once the duel comes
In the end, usually they all die together, and no one can get the better of it. Will today's showdown between the two of them be so bloody?
Wei Shantai shook his head and said mysteriously: "In my opinion, if you don't allow a hundred moves, you can probably win or lose by one point."
Two great swordsman masters were competing in front of his yamen, but he seemed to be at ease and had no intention of blocking him. Perhaps he also understood that the showdown between Wu Huan and Madman was just the prelude to the battle between Prince Yin and Prince Fu.
, just a prelude to a bigger storm.
As a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, Wei Shantai has stayed in Kyoto for more than ten years. He has seen almost all battle formations and has extraordinary judgment and foresight.
Liu Tuo took active actions in this case. In Wei Shantai's eyes, he had long understood that Liu Tuo wanted to provoke a fight between the two princes.
Of course Wei Shantai has the ability to alleviate this upcoming storm. Based on his many years of experience, he certainly knows that there is something fishy about Rou Ji's death, but he has no intention of mediating. He seems to be just a bystander, watching this.
The war that goes along with the wishes of many people slowly ignites.
Wei Shantai is a slave, a slave who can only do things according to the wishes of his master.
Maybe all this is just a hint from the master.
Everyone stared at the fight in stunned silence. Although they could not clearly see the true essence of the sword moves, everyone was attracted by the lightning-fast and sharp sword moves.
Wu Huan felt very strenuous, a kind of strenuousness that he had never experienced before.
He only felt that there was cold air everywhere around him, and it was all the cold air emanating from the iron-like sword, but at the same time, he was also sure that his opponent would not be any better off.
The clothes on both of them were soaked with sweat, but they both felt an indescribable sense of excitement. The excitement caused the hormones in their bodies to leak out.
The light of their swords became faster and faster, forming a curtain of swords, and the murderous aura in their swords became more and more solemn.
Under this situation, unless one of the parties dies, there is absolutely no possibility of this duel ending.
Gong Yangyue and Ximen Lei Zang clearly saw this situation. From the initial surprise to shock, and now to worry, the changes in their expressions turned out to be very consistent.
Gong Yangyue whispered to Ximen Lei Zang in an extremely low voice: "Did you see that someone is going to die today!"
Ximen Raizo nodded and whispered: "We can't stop them now even if we want to. As long as we get close to them, we will be swallowed by their sword energy."
Gong Yangyue said with concern: "No matter who among them dies, it will bring disaster consequences, and the capital will be destabilized by this disaster."
One of these two people is from Prince Fu and the other is from Prince Yin. No matter who dies, his master will be angered.
Prince Fu and Prince Yin are well-known life-and-death rivals. Everyone also knows that these two people have been spying on the position of the crown prince, and they are followed by a large number of forces.
The prince is incompetent and obsessed with wine and sex. Although the empress dowager is trying to protect him, many people know very well that the emperor has always been very dissatisfied with the prince. Now he is under house arrest due to the ritual incident. Maybe one day he will be abandoned and the prince will be
If it is abolished, then the new crown prince will naturally choose one from among Prince Yin, Prince Fu and the third prince Liu Zizheng from the border area.
The third prince has always been at the border and has strong military capabilities and military support. It is reasonable to say that he is a strong prince running for the prince. However, many people know that the political prince hates the intrigues and intrigues of the court, likes to fight and fight, and seems to have no interest in the throne of the emperor.
He doesn't have much interest, and he doesn't have much power base in Kyoto, so his advantage is no better than that of the second and fourth princes.
As the saying goes, first comes first, the second prince and the fourth prince are probably the most powerful candidates for the crown prince. It is also true that the two princes fought openly and secretly, formed factions, and formed the two largest political camps in Kyoto.
If these two people start an open fight, the forces below them will also mobilize to fight to the death. As a result, the court will inevitably become chaotic. By that time, even His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to control the situation.
After all, the influence of the two princes has penetrated too widely. Except for some special agencies and yamen, their hidden influence can be found in almost every place.
Just as everyone held their breath, they heard a "click" sound, and the domineering sword energy suddenly subsided. Everyone saw that Wu Huan's dagger had pierced the madman's heart.
"Ugh!"
There were exclamations everywhere, and even Wei Shantai and Xue Poye changed their faces in horror.
Could it be that the lunatic was really stabbed to death by Wu Huan?
"This is the Viper Sword Technique!" Wu Huan's face was twisted with excitement. Anyone would be excited to see a swordsman who was more powerful than himself die under his favorite sword move.
The madman looked at Wu Huan with his empty eyes, and his hands hung down weakly, but he did not let go of the sword. He just murmured: "Viper sword technique, viper sword technique, viper sword technique...!"
His voice was calm and distant.
Wu Huan's expression changed.
His viper sword technique was pungent and vicious. It penetrated into the heart and could shatter the heart with the sword energy. According to his understanding, the madman's heart was already split into eight pieces. But why was there no trace of pain on the madman's face?
Painful and even able to speak calmly?
In an instant, everyone saw again that the lunatic's right hand, which had been unable to hang down, was raised in the electric light, as if caressing his lover's beauty, and the sword edge gently scratched Wu Huan's throat.
Blood spurted out, Wu Huan's pupils shrank, he covered his throat in disbelief, took two steps back, looked at the madman in horror as if seeing a ghost, and then fell down!
He was twitching on the ground, and the blood instantly stained his clothes and the ground around him red, but he was not dead yet. He couldn't figure out why the madman didn't die when his own stabbed into the heart of the madman?
The madman watched Wu Huan fall, his body moved, as if he couldn't hold on, and a trace of blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
Xue Poye was horrified when he saw it. Wu Huan's death was weird enough. The madman's mouth was bleeding. Could it be that these two people really died together.
The madman walked slowly towards Wu Huan, squatted down, looked at Wu Huan's frightened eyes, and whispered in his ear: "I am Tianxin, my heart is on the right side, unlike ordinary people, if it is on the left side, you will win!"
Wu Huan finally understood the reason. He breathed out his last breath and closed his eyes with regret.
The lunatic stood up and said mechanically: "Wu Huan resists the law. I have already killed him on the orders of His Highness the Fourth Highness!" After saying this, he walked slowly towards the carriage and got in. The driver shook the reins of the horse and said:
The luxurious carriage disappeared like smoke in front of the Kyoto government office.
There was a murder case in front of the Kyoto Prefecture's Yamen, but the purple clothes of Kyoto Prefecture, the officials from the Criminal Department, and even the Yulin guards remained motionless, watching the carriage go away.dd
