Chapter 167 Ximen Chuixue and the Sword Competition, the Honest Monk and the Ambush 4k(1/2)
A few hours later, in Nanshu's room, the emperor looked coldly at the eunuch Wang An who was shouting that he was wronged, and issued an order to hang him and confiscate his property.
After Wang An was pulled down by the guards, he was silent for a long time. Suddenly he pulled out the sword from his waist and sighed:
"Even a loyal old man like Wang An, who has been with me for more than ten years, would betray me. Will there also be problems with the undercover agents I deployed in the Qinglong Club a few years ago?"
"Probably not. Could it be that the strength of the imperial court is not as good as that of the Qinglong Society hidden in the dark?" The emperor's tone turned firm, and he carefully inspected the stripes on the long sword, as if he was examining the details of his plan.
at.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he murmured to himself coldly: "After Wu Ming is killed, it will be their best chance to recruit and subdue the Qinglong Society, and become a secret organization for the imperial court to monitor the martial arts world."
Almost no one would have imagined that the emperor, who seemed to know nothing about the Qinglong Society, had already planted an undercover agent in it.
And judging from the fact that undercover agents have the opportunity to seize the power of the Blue Dragon Society, these people are obviously in high-level positions within the society.
……
At the same time, in the backyard of the time-honored pastry shop "Hefangzhai".
Ximen Chuixue's body exuded the faint smell of incense, and she was also carefully inspecting her long sword with a black sheath.
No matter who he duels with, he will fast for three days first, and then burn incense and bathe in the presence of famous women of various identities.
But now, Ximen Chuixue takes a bath, changes clothes, ties up her hair and trims her nails. This kind of thing is left to his newlywed wife, Sun Xiuqing, one of the Four Beauties of Emei.
Putting on a brand new set of snow-white clothes, and wearing his simple and elegant long sword with a black sheath on his waist, he walked out of the door of the old pastry shop "Hefangzhai" and walked calmly towards Xicheng Street.
Ximen Chuixue is about to duel with a person. The other person is a mysterious and unknown weirdo, but he is also recognized by him as the current Seven Musketeers.
……
Zhao Qing intercepted the honest monk outside Ouyang Qing's brothel.
The honest monk wandered back to the alley next to the brothel, rubbing his old and greasy rags, his head lowered, a little lost in thought, as if he was hesitating whether to enter.
Few people would have imagined that Monk Honest, ranked third among the four eminent monks in the world, could almost always think about women, which was a disgrace to Buddhism.
Of course, whether an honest monk violates the precepts or not has nothing to do with Zhao Qing. She came to visit her specifically because of Wu Ming and the Qinglong Society.
According to the information she got from Du Tongxuan, Monk Lao Shi is not only a member of the Invisible Man Organization, but also one of the five dragon heads of the Blue Dragon Society.
Sharman did not come with him, but stayed in the palace. After all, she betrayed the invisible person, and if she showed her face again, she would be in danger, so it was better to stay in a safe place.
As for the King of Xicheng who wanted to watch and learn, he was not afraid of danger. He changed into civilian clothes and followed him.
The honest monk walked slowly with his head lowered. Suddenly, a sword light flashed in front of his eyes.
The sword light flashed away, and before he could react, the honest monk felt a sudden numbness on the top of his head, and then began to feel burning pain.
He quickly touched the top of his head with his hand and brought it back to his eyes. He saw horizontal and vertical blood stains on his palm, and his heart suddenly became as cold as the harsh winter.
The opponent only made one move and carved a shallow cross on his bright head. He was undoubtedly an unimaginable peerless master.
"I heard that Honest Monk never lies? So what are you thinking about now?" Zhao Qing sheathed his sword, looked at Honest Monk who looked frightened, and asked casually.
The honest monk had a wry smile on his face and said with some trembling: "The monk regrets in his heart. He regrets why he is so timid and dare not go to bed with a woman for real."
The honest monk told the dishonest truth truthfully.
"Hmph." Zhao Qing also regretted asking this question, so he asked coldly: "Honest monk, your matter has come to light. If you don't want your head to be divided into four parts, just call it real immediately."
"Follow me to the depths of the alley and tell me everything you know about Wu Ming, the Invisible Man, and the Green Dragon Society." She walked in front and added.
The honest monk smiled bitterly, covered the sword mark on his head, and followed her step by step.
……
At the end of Xicheng Street is the most prestigious Xilaishun Shabu Shabu Restaurant. The door facing the street is hung with a thick and heavy curtain. When you lift the curtain, there is a rush of hot air.
Inside the door is a hall with a dozen or so round tabletops placed closely together, with a large fire pit on top of which is used to eat barbecue.
No matter what the religion, whether they knew each other or not, everyone stood around the round table, put their right legs on the long bench, drank three cups of roasted knives, and chatted about everything. Everyone became good friends with everyone, even though as soon as they went out, they
No one knows anyone anymore.
Walking in from the outhouse, you pass through a small courtyard, which is divided into rooms. Of course, there is a bright fire in the room. That is the real place to eat hotpot mutton.
From time to time, wild laughter can be heard in the yard. Guys are coming in and out, and they are very attentive. The environment is very lively.
But suddenly, everyone inside stopped, and you could hear a needle drop.
Just because everyone had seen it, a white figure slowly walked in.
His snow-white clothes were spotless, and a strange-looking black-sheathed long sword hung on his waist, revealing a loneliness as cold as ice and snow on the distant mountains.
"Ximen Chuixue!" Several well-informed customers recognized the identity of the man in white and couldn't help but lower their voices and exclaimed.
Ximen Chuixue glanced around the yard with cold eyes, and finally stopped on a person.
It was an old man with gray and black scalp and completely white eyebrows. He wore thin clothes. An antique wooden wine bottle hung on his left shoulder, and a long and narrow wooden box stood on his right hand side.
Now the customers all recognized Ximen Chuixue's identity and vaguely guessed that the old man's wooden box must be a valuable ancient sword.
The old man himself should also be an excellent swordsman, so Ximen Chuixue came to him to challenge him.
Ximen Chuixue looked at him calmly, with his hand on the hilt of the sword, and solemnly said: "I am already here. When will your sword be unsheathed?"
Ximen Chuixue's sword has not yet been unsheathed, but the sword energy has been unsheathed.
There is a terrifying sword aura in his eyes, just because his sword is his person, and his person and his sword have become one.
His gaze pierced the white-browed old man's eyes like a sword, which was breathtaking, as if the entire courtyard was plunged into a harsh winter.
But the old man calmly faced the sharp and sharp gaze without changing his expression. He slowly took off his wine bottle from his left shoulder, poured two glasses of wine into it, and said calmly: "If you want to compete with me in sword competition, drink one first."
Wine."
After a moment of silence, Ximen Chuixue nodded: "Okay."
At this moment, a tall and muscular man with thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, and an eagle nose walked in.
There was an expression on his serious face that was close to cruelty, and one couldn't help but show a bit of respect and fear.
The local customers immediately recognized him as Li Yanbei, the "Benevolent and Righteous Man of Beijing" who defeated "Chengnan Lao Du" today and was about to dominate the underground world of the capital.
Another figure flashed, and four green-faced old men appeared behind him, each equipped with a simple long sword. They had a strong aura around them, and they were obviously good players in the world.
Someone recognized them and they were the "Four Swordsmen of Tianmen" who had lived in seclusion in Zhangjiajie for many years. The four of them were all top-notch swordsmen in the world and had come to the capital specifically for the "Tianxia Sword Club".
I heard that a duel between top swordsmen is about to take place here, either out of curiosity, or because I want to learn one or two moves from the swordsmanship of the two. In short, there will definitely be many "Four Swordsmen of Tianmen" like this.
People from all walks of life rushed here to watch.
……
The wine in Ximen Chuixue's cup is light blue, and the snow-white clothes on his body are light and soft.
He used to never drink alcohol, why has he changed now? Originally, his sword was slung across his back, just so that he could pull it out in the shortest time, why is it tied around his waist now?
So has Ximen Chuixue’s swordsmanship improved or regressed?
Before he actually takes action, I'm afraid no one will know the answer to this question.
In the silence, Ximen Chuixue gently put down the wine glass, pressed the hilt of the sword again, and looked at the white-browed swordsman coldly.
The white-browed swordsman also put down his wine glass, clasped his hands together, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you to the Virgin Mary for the water."
Everest means "Our Lady's Water" in Tibetan. Our Lady's Water Peak is the highest Mount Everest in the world.
It turns out that he is the mysterious swordsman who has lived in seclusion on the Water Peak of Our Lady for more than 20 years.
Who will win this battle? Who will lose?
Ximen Chuixue and the white-browed swordsman walked outside the yard, and soon came to a flat open space, and began to make final preparations before the duel.
A large number of people from all walks of life who came after hearing the news soon arrived around the open space.
"Mr. Li, you are Ximen Chuixue's friend. What do you think is Ximen Chuixue's chance of winning?" The Four Swordsmen of Tianmen asked in a deep voice as they walked out, asking the question that the onlookers were most concerned about.
p>
Li Yanbei glanced at them and said solemnly: "I have always believed that Ximen Chuixue is not an easy person to defeat. If he is not sure of more than seven points, he will not take action at all." The implication is that Ximen Chuixue is.
There is victory but no defeat.
Although Du Tongxuan suddenly disappeared, the power in the south of the city changed drastically, causing Li Yanbei to expand his territory.
However, something strange happened to his old enemy for more than 20 years, which made him feel uneasy. He wanted to hug Ximen Chuixue's lap as much as possible and have the support of a top expert.
