Chapter 26 Walking alone with only the sword by your side
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
The prince is going to put Yuan An on the fire.
Yuan An's talent in swordsmanship is astonishing. He joined Thunder Cliff of Supreme God Xiao Sect and received help from the Taoist sect. It is inevitable that he will become a thorn in the side of the royal family. What's more, there have been some gossips in the palace recently, and the prince seems to be very fond of Xie Yongxu. Gao Qingyue filled a glass of wine and drank it slowly. With the young man's gloomy and worrying temperament, even if he was criticized, he would not be stupid enough to stand out. But in this way, his reputation was ruined and he was afraid of the enemy.
If his reputation is introduced into the Taoist sect, his future will be greatly compromised.
Without being reused by the Taoist sect, his fate is still a chess piece at the mercy of others.
Xie Xuan looked at Zhi Kaizhen. He should have been gloating about his misfortune, but his chest was inexplicably blocked. Everyone wanted to push Yuan An out. His blood was not pure. He just ran out of the poor ravine and suddenly rose to great heights.
Gao, more like a nouveau riche, will never be truly regarded as one of them. Xie Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at the Xie clan in the distance. Xie Qingfeng shook his head flatly and rejected his intention to fight.
From all around, there were increasingly noisy criticisms. Zhikari Zhenzhen lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, still sitting quietly in the crowd, like an island of silence.
The isolated island also has no roots, and is surrounded by water that is floating and coming and going. The roar of the golden sword, the malicious eyes, and the ups and downs of noise are like waves coming from all directions, pushing Zhikarima forward and back again.
, confused and helpless. He subconsciously held his hand to his waist, as if to grab something to cling to, and then suddenly realized that there was no sword there.
There is nothing in my hand.
Zhikari was stunned. He lowered his head and stared at the empty waist. A part of his life that he was accustomed to suddenly became blank.
Just like the thread at the seam of clothes, it is plain and invisible, but once it is removed, a clear gap will be left.
Zhikari Zhen remained motionless, holding his hands empty, as if he was in a daze. He always thought that it was just a killing tool.
The sound of messy footsteps suddenly sounded, and several Eagle Guards dragged a blood-stained Yu Clan in. The Eagle Clan Sword Immortal walked behind him with sloppy steps. His face was as pale as gold paper, his forehead bones were cracked, and Yu Yi's body was full of blood.
Blood oozes from the chest from time to time.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, Wang Yifu's expression suddenly changed.
Lao Ma! The Yu clan who was seriously injured and detained was actually the former swordsmanship teacher of the Hou Mansion! He was shocked and horrified. He turned his eyes to Zhi Karuzhen and felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Ning Xiaoxiang followed him and quietly reported to Yi Mo: "Your Highness, this person is a wanted criminal of the Yu clan. He was hiding in Jiankang City and was captured by their people. However, many innocent passers-by were affected in the fight.
Several houses and shops were also destroyed. Do we need to investigate..."
"This is their own business, there is no need to get involved." Yi Mo glared at Ning Xiaoxiang. These Yu tribes should be thankful if they don't pursue Da Jin for harboring important criminals. How dare they pursue them?
"What's going on?" Luan An stood up and asked, deliberately interrupting the solemn atmosphere on the field. He was afraid that Ying Yao would kill him too hard, arouse the public anger of the human race, and make the trouble unending.
"Sir, we have captured a fugitive from the Que tribe who lived many years ago." Eagle Guard kicked hard and stepped on Lao Ma's vest, making a harsh sound of bones breaking, and blood spurted out from Lao Ma's mouth.
"Qingbu?" Luan An snorted. He must have offended the Yingbu and was wanted for the crime. However, a mere low-ranking Yu clan member was not worthy of his meddling.
"Young Master, my subordinates suspect that he is staying in Jiankang City with evil intentions and want to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the Young Master." Eagle Guard said in a deep voice.
Ying Yao then turned around: "Who is he?"
Yingwei grabbed Lao Ma's messy long hair, pulled him up roughly, and turned his blood-stained face to Ying Yao. Lao Ma stared at Ying Yao, his face twisted with anger, and he took a big mouthful
The saliva and blood spurted towards Yingyao, but Yingyao hit his mouth hard with his sword, causing his teeth to fall out and his cheeks to swell.
The Eagle Tribe Sword Immortal whispered: "Young master, don't you remember this thief? He is Aso, a genius swordsman from the Que tribe. He disobeyed the young master many years ago and had his wife and sister killed. He escaped alone." p>
Yingyao looked at Aso carefully for a few times, and then he had a vague impression. Back then, he had taken a fancy to the swordsmanship of a lower-ranking Yu clan, and couldn't ask for it. In a rage, he sent people to kill his whole family.
"I don't need that kind of vulgar swordsmanship now." Yingyao smiled disdainfully, "Kill him."
One of the Eagle Guards said: "Young Master, Aso is here and makes a living by teaching human swordsmanship."
"I don't know how to appreciate it! Would you rather pass the sword skills to a humble subordinate than leave it to me?" Yingyao's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold light shot out, "Torture him to find out who he has taught sword skills to.
I will kill them one by one."
Aso suddenly laughed wildly, "Pfft!" The two Eagle Guards swung their sharp swords, passed through Aso's ankles, and nailed him to the ground. Aso's eyes were split in pain, and he kept laughing wildly, and the Eagle Guards spread out their swords,
It pierced his arms again, and blood gushed out.
Damn it! Wang Yifu's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart sank to the bottom of his body. If this matter involves the prince, he will be blamed for his death. He stood up in panic, ignored the etiquette and squeezed to Zhi Kaizhen's side, trembling
Said: "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive."
Zakari looked at Aso from a distance without answering. The bright sunlight shone on his fair and beautiful cheeks, like transparent rippling water.
"Your Majesty, Lao Ma himself said that it was just a transaction between us and him. We paid the reward, he taught us swordsmanship, and we traded with each other. We have no debt." Wang Yifu said hurriedly, tightly grabbing the sleeves of Zhi Qizhen's robe, "
The prince is not his student, nor is he your teacher. The trouble he caused has nothing to do with us."
Zhikari was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I understand."
Wang Yifu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aso who was being interrogated by the Eagle Guard's sword. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Respecting teachers has always been the etiquette of the human race. After all, Lao Ma taught the prince swordsmanship, and he had the reality of a teacher and a student.
.
"So, it's not just for the teacher." Zhikari said calmly.
Wang Yifu was shocked all over, as if struck by thunder. He watched helplessly as the young man's hand stretched out and grasped the long decorative sword on his waist.
The long white fingertips touched the cold hilt of the sword and trembled slightly.
Then his palms slowly closed, his fingers slowly clasped together, and the young man slowly held the sword.
At this moment, he was no longer a mere piece of sand, a silent island.
The lonely bamboo house in Bailing Mountain stabbed tirelessly at the shining incense stick in the darkness again and again; the Jiuqu Shensha River was raging, and he stood on the bamboo raft, vowing to win with his sword; the slaughtering sheep gathered
Beside the patio, the morning light shines brightly, reflecting in the breeze's expectant eyes; in the garden of the Hou Mansion, he bows and holds his sword, watching Lao Ma disappear into the vast night; in the Tianhe realm, he looks down at the long shadows of clouds in the river,
Mingwu's sword is unwavering; on the Qinhuai River, with everyone watching, he crushes the heroes of Jiankang with one sword...Scenes from the past appear in front of Zhikarizhen's eyes. It is a sword, but it is not just a sword. p>
Jiandu's bottleneck was silently broken at this moment, the sword energy surged like waves, the sword embryo undulated like tides, and the realm of refining energy and restoring spirit naturally opened to him.
"Only at the moment of life and death, you will know whether you want the sword or your life." Lao Ma's words seem to still ring in your ears.
Zhikari held the sword firmly and smiled softly. The teacher was actually wrong. The sword was a part of his life. Since it could not be separated, there was no need to choose.
The sound of the sword edge slowly sliding out of the scabbard was so sharp.
So bright that everyone can hear it.
Wang Yifu was silent, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and suddenly he stepped back respectfully, bowing solemnly to Zhi Kaizhen, with tears in his eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhikarizhen stood up calmly, unfolded his sword, and stared at the bright cold light in his hand.
