Chapter 174 Ximen Chuixue’s Kendo
Liu Chenjun nodded and said: "I heard that the Nanshan Gang's swordsmen are as good as ten. Whether fighting alone or in groups, they are all top-notch swordsmen. They are even better than the elite frontier troops of the imperial court.
Six hundred people plus the hundred beside His Royal Highness can become an important force to reverse the situation of the local war.
Tianjin Port has its own people arranged by Eunuch Cao to take care of them. When the time comes, they will change their identities one by one and arrange them in the Yanjing Guardhouse, so they can provide support at any time."
Ximen Chuixue asked at this time: "When did you start attacking Nan Wang? Are you going to capture him alive?"
Mr. Liu Chen said: "Of course you want to be alive, and the dead can't speak."
Lu Xiaofeng said distressedly: "I shouldn't have given advice to His Highness like this in the first place, and ended up bringing trouble on myself again."
It was Lu Xiaofeng who proposed to the prince to capture the Southern King.
Although Crown Prince Nan has become a false emperor, no matter how good he is, his experience is still a little shallow. He only exposed various flaws at the beginning of coming to power, which can already explain many problems.
The one who finally makes the decision must be King Nan. He is the shadow emperor and the biggest threat to his opponent.
Liu Chenjun laughed, "I will work with you on this trip, but the prince's power is limited after all, as for the guards around King Nan.
At present, we only know that there is one Lord of Baiyun City, and it is unknown whether there are others.
So I have to bother Hero Sikong to go and get information, which must be a very challenging task for Hero Sikong."
Sikong Zhaixing laughed, "I'm just a big thief, I don't dare to call myself a hero.
If gathering information is replaced by stealing information about the guards around King Nan.
Well, this is indeed a worthy challenge. I have never stolen anything so exciting in my life.
Compared with the last embroidery thief incident, the stolen red shoes are more exciting, but it’s a pity that Lu Xiaofeng is not the opponent this time.”
Lu Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Before the wanted order is lifted, you and I are brothers in trouble. It's best to figure out how to help each other in the same boat."
Liu Chenjun said: "In this case, we will wait for the information from Hero Sikong and then discuss how to act.
Well... Mr. Hua has trouble with his eyesight after all, so the final action will be taken by the four of us."
Hua Manlou smiled gently and said: "Miss Liu, there is no need to exclude me. Although my eyes are not good, my mind is still good, and I can 'see' many things that you can't see."
Liu Chenjun said in surprise: "But Mr. Hua is so gentle, how can he be suitable to intervene in such a fight?"
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed, "I thought my charm has always been good, but it seems I'm going to lose to Hua Man Lou today."
Liu Chenjun's cheeks turned red and he glared at Lu Xiaofeng fiercely.
At this time, Hua Manlou said with a solemn expression: "In normal times, if there is a fight in the world, I am willing to try my best to resolve it and eliminate the conflict.
But this time the situation is different. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me that if Crown Prince Nan Wang is allowed to act like this, he will surely bring the vassal power back to power and compete with the imperial court for power.
Even if it eventually develops into a civil strife and war, it will no longer be a matter of life and death for a few people, but a matter of life and death for the entire world.
Although this trip is against my original intention, it is for the sake of peace and justice in the world. Hua Manlou has no ability, but is willing to contribute all the abilities he has."
Even though he spoke seriously, his words were gentle and gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.
These words resonated with everyone present. They were either martial arts overlords, top swordsmen, rogues, or master thieves.
They all have different identities and very different personalities. Some people may not even become friends in their lifetimes. But now the only thing they have in common is that they are both descendants of China, so they naturally have the will to protect the peace of the world and not be bullied by foreigners.
Xu Zhengping said: "In that case, let's wait until we can discuss it.
In addition, there will be helpers joining the process, at least two of them, one of whom is Lian Xing, the former second palace lord of Yihua Palace.
The other one will definitely not be mediocre."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "As expected of the overlord of the party, he has a strong trump card. Okay, now that we've finished discussing the business, let's have a good drink together!"
A banquet was arranged in the small building full of flowers. Because it had to be kept secret, the few people present prepared it themselves.
Unexpectedly, Ximen Chuixue, who was accustomed to killing people, actually had rare cooking skills, and half of the dishes on the table were cooked by him.
At the dinner table, Xu Zhengping also saw Ximen Chuixue's wife, Sun Xiuqing of the Emei Sect. Her master, Dugu Yihe, was the previous head of the Emei Sect and was also the senior brother of Master Miejie.
Huo Tianqing of the Tianqin Sect first consumed half of his internal energy, and later died from Ximen Chuixue's sword due to lack of internal energy.
Sun Xiuqing held her infant child in her arms and looked at Ximen Chuixue in the kitchen with a loving look on her face, but she still couldn't hide the worry between her brows.
She knew very well that Ximen Chuixue already had concerns, and the sword god who had concerns would no longer be a god.
And a swordsman who cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to the sword will inevitably go further and further away from his sword.
In the end, the husband has to make a choice between the sword and her.
Xu Zhengping was not a good dancer, and he rarely talked at the dinner table. He mostly listened to Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing exposing each other's embarrassing stories, and Hua Manlou was joking in the middle.
At the end of the meal, it was naturally not the chef Ximen Chuixue's turn to clear the table. He said a few words to his wife, teased his son, then quietly walked out of the small building and went to the plum forest alone.
Xu Zhengping quietly followed behind him, and saw Ximen Chuixue raising his long sword in the plum forest, but he still did not unsheath the sword, and just stared at the sword in a daze for a long time.
The wind is getting stronger and the air is getting colder.
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in Ximen Chuixue's eyes. He already knew that there was someone standing behind him.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
Xu Zhengping said: "Look at the sword god's confusion."
Ximen Chuixue sneered, "Confused? Even so, I am still the best swordsman in the world!"
"But you can't climb to the most extreme level you want to achieve."
Ximen Chuixue was stunned for a moment.
Xu Zhengping added: "So you can't make a choice between your wife and children and the way of swordsmanship. The former is a matter of human ethics, and the latter is the pursuit of ideals."
Ximen Chuixue was silent.
Xu Zhengping looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and said: "But in my opinion, it can also be understood in this way, the former is the way of humanity, and the latter is the way of heaven.
Humanity is sentimental, while Heaven is ruthless.
Of course, the ruthless way can approach the way of heaven infinitely, but as long as you are a human being and possess the seven emotions and six desires that humans have, you will always be separated by a thin line from the way of heaven.
But if you really cultivate to the point of killing all seven emotions and six desires, what's the difference between it and this stone in the ice and snow?
You will lose the goal and desire to draw the sword, so no matter how strong you are, what's the point?"
Ximen Chuixue was stunned by Xu Zhengping's theory. He had never thought about what the ultimate swordsmanship was like, and he found Xu Zhengping's theory very novel. It made him think about what would happen in the end when he walked the ruthless way.
What kind of result.
