Hua Bushi said: "Miss Lan'er, can you bear to let Okura City's foundation be destroyed like this, and all the people in the city be slaughtered by the pirates of the Black Dragon Palace? I believe that the Lord of Sima City has a soul in heaven, and he will give up. It’s just a personal grudge to protect the people of this city!”
Sima Rulan's face was as dark as water, she bit her lips tightly but said nothing.
Yao Yuanxiao said: "If the boy surnamed Cao was allowed to go to Guangdong, he would have fled as soon as he was born. Where would the navy fleet come to rescue Okura Island? Master Hua is too whimsical. This matter It’s totally impossible!”
But Hua Bushi reached out and slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly: "As long as the eldest lady of the city lord agrees to spare Mr. Cao's life and let him move troops to Guangdong, I am willing to use my life to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to escape! If he really escapes, you can just ask me and kill Hua Bushi with one knife!"
Sima Rulan stared at the young master with beautiful eyes, and finally said: "How many lives does Mr. Hua have, and he can vouch for others so casually? You are not the murderer of my father. If Cao Muyun escapes, I will What's the use of killing you!"[
She turned her gaze to Yao Yuanxiao and asked, "Where is Cao Muyun now?"
Yao Yuanxiao said: "I will be locked up in the prison behind the city lord's palace."
Sima Rulan stood up and said, "I want to go to the prison cell to see him. Mr. Hua, please accompany me!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The prison of the City Lord's Mansion is located in the back garden. It is a stone house that is not too high.
More than half of the cell is below the ground, with a downward stone staircase leading to the cell door. There are many disciples of the "Wanjintang" guarding the front and back of the room and up and down the stone steps, and there are also many bowmen and slaves stationed around. Prevent the prisoner from escaping.
Cao Muyun was locked in the innermost cell. His wrists and ankles were covered with shackles made of fine iron, which weighed a hundred kilograms. Even a person with high martial arts skills would never be able to earn it. break.
At this moment, he stood in the center of the cell with his hands behind his back, looking up from the window at the top of the wall. There were iron bars as thick as an arm above the hole, but he could see the twinkling stars in the night sky through the window.
He was captured in the Weitian Tower and had been imprisoned in this cell for five days. Cao Muyun was waiting for Sima Rulan to kill him every moment of every day, but he never came. In this place, he himself It was from hearing the news about the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates besieging the island outside.
Finally, the sound of footsteps came from the stone steps outside.
Are you here? Cao Muyun thought to himself.
He could tell from the footsteps that the people coming down the steps were not the ordinary "Wanjintang" disciples who were patrolling and guarding, but four of them. Three of them were not weak in light skills, and only Sima was the only one in the city lord's palace. Ru Lan and the elders of "Wanjintang" can have such martial arts, but the remaining person's steps are heavy, but he seems to be completely incapable of light martial arts.
The "Wanjintang" disciples who were guarding the door of the stone house greeted them, and then the iron door was opened. The four people walked into the prison and stopped until they reached the door of the cell where Cao Muyun was.
Cao Muyun still raised his head and looked outside, with his back to the iron gate and did not turn around. From the greetings of the previous guards, he already knew that the person who came was none other than the eldest lady of the city, Sima Rulan, and concluded that she was here to kill His. For a person who is about to be killed, it doesn't matter whether he turns around or not.
"You don't seem to be afraid of death?" It was Sima Rulan's voice that came through the iron fence.
Cao Muyun said: "Except for madmen, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death."
Sima Rulan said: "Then why don't you ask me to spare your life?"
Cao Muyun smiled calmly and said: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Even if I beg you, you will not forgive me. It was indeed my fault for assassinating your father that day. Cao Muyun did not die here today." Complain."
Sima Rulan said: "Yes, I will not forgive you, but I will not be like you, who only attack and kill people from behind! Turn around, I will compete with you in sword fighting and kill you." I am convinced!”[
Cao Muyun turned around slowly and saw Sima Rulan in snow-white plain clothes standing outside the iron gate. Behind her were the elders of "Wanjin Hall" Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao. And the one who came with them was not The person who knows Qing Kung is Hua Bushi, but it is slightly beyond Cao Muyun's expectation.
Sima Rulan said: "We, the Sima family, have always been aboveboard in our behavior. Today we have a sword fight. You and I are fighting with our lives. If you lose, I will kill you with one sword. If you can win, you can also use one sword." Kill me!"
Yao Yuanxiao said: "Miss, this guy's swordsmanship is very high. Now that he has been captured, why do you have to fight with him? Why don't you just kill him with one blow?"
Sima Rulan shook his head and ordered the guarding disciple next to him: "Remove the torture instruments on his body and give him a sword!"
The iron grid cell door was opened, the shackles on Cao Muyun's hands and feet were also opened and removed, and a blue steel sword was handed to his hand. Cao Muyun took the sword, with a slight confusion in his eyes, and turned his head to look He looked towards Hua Bushi outside the iron gate, but the young master had an expression on his face at this moment, said nothing, and did not make any expression.
Sima Rulan stepped into the cell and heard a clear "choking" sound. She had already drawn her sword, held the sword finger in her left hand, and showed her stance.
Although he didn't know why the other party didn't kill directly for revenge, but wanted to fight for victory with a sword, but in this situation, Cao Muyun had no other choice, so he had to raise his sword across his chest and make a starting move.
The two sides only faced each other for a moment. Sima Rulan stepped forward with his sword, and stabbed three swords straight at the opponent's chest. Cao Muyun raised his sword to block, sparks flew out with a crisp sound, and the two were already fighting together. At!
Sima Rulan's martial arts came from his father's teaching. Although the "Shaolin School" is not known for its swordsmanship, Shaolin martial arts is the ancestor of foreign martial arts in the world. There are many sword techniques among the "Two Special Skills". The "Powerful Demon Sword Technique" practiced by Yang Jiangyi is one of them, but what Sima Rulan is using now is another "Wutang Sword Technique" .
The "Wutang Sword Technique" is not as powerful and powerful as the "Powerful Demon-Suppressing Sword", but it is also an authentic Zen secret skill and is the nemesis of all partial martial arts.
In comparison, Cao Muyun's "Wanxiang Silk Sword" is a Taoist martial art of the "Dinghu School" and is also a superior secret skill. Although what he holds in his hand is just an ordinary blue steel sword, his sword skills are The sword blade seems to be able to bend and coil at will!
The sword that Cao Muyun used to use had been lost in the big storm that day. Otherwise, if he had used that special "silk-wrapped sword" to use this sword technique, it would have been even more powerful.
This cell is not big, and the two of them are fighting in it, but they don't seem to be restricted by the space. This is just because their light skills are not weak, their sword skills have reached a state where they can work as expected, and the martial arts they each use,
Just like their personalities and people.
Sima Rulan has not experienced the world and does not understand the conspiracies and conspiracies of the world, but she has a kind and righteous heart. Her swordsmanship is simple, elegant, and upright, without losing the dignity of the authentic Zen sect. She reveals her sharpness in peace.
The clumsiness is excruciating. Although Cao Muyun is not very old, he has already enjoyed all the glory and wealth. He was born in a family of officials and has experienced the officialdom to understand the world. The swordsmanship in his hand is also extremely gorgeous, with many ingenious changes.
, which is hard to guard against.
Thirty moves had passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them were fighting faster and faster. Sima Rulan was injured by the "Beast King Kick" when fighting Xiong Bailing a few days ago, and Cao Muyun's injury by "cutting the pulse and removing the poison" was not fully completed.
He recovered, but seeing how quick and vigorous the two were fighting, it was completely impossible to tell that they were the injured.
Both of them were wearing white clothes, but they could only see many white shadows flying and jumping in the cell, mixed with sparks from the clash of steel swords. It was hard to see which white shadow was Sima Rulan and which one was Sima Rulan.
Cao Muyun, let alone identify their moves during the fight!
Yao Yuanxiao and Chai Lin both stared at the fight in the room with their eyes wide open, looking extremely nervous. Yao Yuanxiao even held the iron staff in front of his chest. They were afraid that the eldest lady of the city lord was in danger, so they stepped forward to rescue them.
However, the two people in the cell fought so quickly, and there was an iron fence between them. If there was a winner, the people outside the cell would probably not be able to help in time.
Among the people in the prison, only Hua Bushi looked calm and collected. Although he was watching the fight in the prison cell, he didn't seem to be worried about the safety of the two of them.
At this time, the fight finally decided the winner, and suddenly there was a sound, and half of the steel sword flew out of the air, and with a "grab" sound, it was nailed to the stone wall, and it penetrated half a foot!
The white shadows flying in the cell suddenly froze. Cao Muyun leaned against the wall, and the steel sword in his hand was only about a foot long. Sima Rulan stood in front of him, with his right arm stretched out and the long sword in his hand.
The tip of the sword has been pressed against Cao Muyun's chest and heart!
Cao Muyun was defeated! Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao outside the cell breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and Yao Yuanxiao lowered the iron staff he held on his chest.
Cao Muyun said: "You have won, kill me." [
After a fight, his voice was exactly the same as before, with some changes.
However, Sima Rulan's chest was heaving, and she was breathing a little. The steel sword in her hand was frozen in the air, and she said: "I didn't win. You had the chance to stab me just now, but you deliberately took half a step slower to get killed."
I broke the blade with my fingers."
She glared at Cao Muyun and said, "Why did you let me!"
Cao Muyun said silently, and after a while, he said: "This kind of sword fight is meaningless. I am a mortal man. What's the difference between giving in and not giving in?"
This is the prison of "Wanjintang". There are heavy guards inside and outside the stone house. There are two masters, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao, outside the iron gate. Even if Cao Muyun defeats Sima Rulan or even kills her with one sword, it is impossible.
He could escape. In such a situation, Cao Muyun knew that he would die, so he didn't want to do the so-called struggle anymore.
