The devil is coming

Chapter 872 Here Comes
On both sides of the river,
Standing are three of the four greatest swordsmen in the world;
But after the word "go",
The so-called "Four Swordsmen" may become a thing of the past.
Just like back then, Zheng Fan was pulled out by the evildoers and forcibly paired with the young barbarian prince, General Nian and Prince Consort Zhong to form the "four major generals". However, with the rise of the "King of Pingxi", no one can say this anymore. Go and pick it up;
General Nian was captured and taken into the Imperial Palace of Yan State, and the young barbarian prince was chased because the royal court was destroyed. Although Zhong Tianlang is still alive and kicking;
However, as the only survivor, he would always be compared with King Ping Xi as a last resort, and then it would be embarrassing.
They are both consorts, but Zhong Tianlang's consort was given a marriage by the official family, and King Pingxi was the princess he snatched;
Zhong Tianlang was the descendant of the first general in the Qian Kingdom in the past, while King Pingxi rose to power in Guizhou;
In Liang Digan's army, Meng Gong was the commander in chief, and Zhong Tianlang was just a general. Even though he controlled the only cavalry group in the Qian Kingdom, King Pingxi had already started the national war on his own; he was suppressed no matter how hard he compared. Big head.
The same goes for the swordsman.
When the gap is too big, they no longer deserve to be mentioned together.
Once upon a time, they may have stood on the wave of an era together, but inadvertently, some were already ahead, while others ran slower but were far behind.
The sword maker and Baili Jian didn't speak anymore. The verbal dispute had lost its meaning at this time.
Regardless of the arena, the temple, or the battlefield, in essence, it is still about who has the biggest fist and who has the right.
But the sword maker and Baili Jian did not "get out" as the sword master said.
After the two looked at each other,
sat down.
Baili Jian picked up a grilled fish that he had thrown on the dead leaves before, took a bite, and found it was cold. As the fish became cold, the fishy smell became stronger.
"Ugh."
Baili Jian put down the grilled fish in his hand, picked it up again, picked it up, put it down again, and finally simply threw it aside and ignored it.
The proud son of the Baili family is not used to facing this feeling of powerlessness.
He has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and his talent is astonishing, and his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds;
But it’s not that I haven’t lost. After all, everyone grows up step by step, and there will always be times when they are weak;
Just like in the previous fight, he was caught by the sword master, and he lost.
But when the sword master sacrificed the "four swords", he felt powerless.
One that goes beyond the powerlessness of simply winning or losing.
No one can maintain the immortal spirit all the time. Generally, people who appear to be immortal are either very good at pretending, or... you are too short in front of him.
Baili Jian used this seemingly unexpected little detail to relieve the depression in his heart.
The sword maker next to him was sitting quietly. He didn't seem to care much about this false reputation.
Also, how can a person who has great abilities but endures loneliness and hides his sword really care about this?
the other side,
The sword master withdrew Long Yuan and dispersed three sword intentions.
He sat down cross-legged, uncovered, and meditated openly to adjust his breath. He was indeed very tired just now.
I sat here until dawn.
"Dad, are you hungry?"
Liu Dahu slept for a while last night.
His father was sitting in front, so he could really sleep.
This has nothing to do with whether his father is a sword master or not. After all, for a long time, in his heart, his father has always been a soldier guarding the city.
The sword master nodded and said, "I'm hungry and thirsty."
"Then why didn't you call me."
"You're tired too."
"hey-hey."
Liu Dahu began to collect dead branches nearby, and started the fire with a fire stick he had used to light the prince's cigarette.
Then, he took off his helmet, washed it carefully by the river, scooped up half of the helmet's water, put it on the fire to boil, waited until the water boiled, then carefully poured it into his water bag, and added He bought some tea and handed it to his father:
"Dad, it's hot."
"Ah."
The sword master took the water bag and took a small sip.
Then,
Liu Dahu used his helmet to boil some water, and then poured some of the fried noodles in the grain bag around his waist into the thicker portion;
Then, I put some brown sugar, salt and pepper in it;
After that, use your hands to knead it into a ball.
He is a personal soldier of King Pingxi, and he also serves the general's tent when marching and fighting. Naturally, he has a lot of bits and pieces on him.
After handing the caked dough to the sword master,
The father and son sat together and started eating.
And on the other side,
Baili Sword and the sword maker also sat there all night.
Thyme Lan used her sword to catch a few more fish from the river, lit the fire again, and started grilling the fish.
After a while, the smell of grilled fish spread to the other side.
immediately,
Baili Jian and the sword maker each had a freshly grilled fish in their hands.
The swordmaker looked at the fish in his hand and said with some difficulty:
"I mean, girl, you're still eating this so early in the morning?"
Thyme Orchid replied, "I can plant some millet now and wait until it grows to harvest. Then I can grind flour for you?"
"Yes, yes, but what about the spices? Without the spices, the fish won't be able to eat it? You have to have some salt, right?"
"I just prepared a meal. I finished it last night and it's gone." Thyme Lan said coldly.
"Tsk..."
The sword maker had no choice but to eat with difficulty.
Wait until noon,
Liu Dahu began to try to catch fish in the river, but unfortunately, he spent a lot of effort but had no harvest.
At this moment, he began to regret a little. If he had known better, he would have let Chen Xianba follow his father. Chen Xianba was good at catching fish.
At this time, a few fish were thrown over from the other side of the river.
There stood the thyme orchid,
open the way;
"Change the salt."
"Oh."
Liu Dahu was an honest child. He took out the small bag containing salt, opened it, poured some into the river in front of him.
"..."Thyme orchid.
Suddenly,
Liu Dahu seemed to realize what kind of stupid thing he had done, so he immediately went back, found another empty bag, put some salt in it, tied a stone with it, and threw it away.
Thyme Lan glanced at Liu Dahu coldly, picked up the bag and turned back.
In the afternoon, fish were grilled on both sides of the river.
When Liu Dahu saw the swordmaker on the other side, he seemed to go crazy. He dropped the fish, took a sword, and started to eat it.
Of course, not really eating, but biting as if to vent.
After biting for a while, he dropped the sword on the ground. Obviously, several consecutive meals of grilled fish made him in a bad mood.
In the evening, neither party cooked anymore because no one wanted to eat fish anymore.
the next morning,
Liu Dahu continued to boil water, make tea, handed it to his father, and then used the remaining fried noodles to make a meal. The father and son continued to eat like this.
Thyme orchid seems ready to catch fish again,
The swordmaker raised his hands and shouted.
No more catching thyme orchid;
This entire day, the other side didn't eat anything except drinking water.
Another night passed,
morning,
Liu Dahu continued to make tea for his father. This time, after adding the tea leaves, he also put in the remaining brown sugar.
You two take a bite and I take a bite, just hanging out with sugar and tea.
the other side,
Baili Jian sat calmly.
The sword maker was already lying on his side, with his eyes open, as if sleeping.
Liu Dahu didn't understand why they were like this, even though they were very strong, and he didn't ask his father.
Wait until noon,
A team of about seven or eight people appeared on the other side, wearing the clothes of the Silver Armored Guards.
The appearance of that group of people brought food other than grilled fish to the other side, such as white flour steamed buns.
It seems that he was ordered to do so.
Thyme Lan threw a bag over. Liu Dahu stepped forward and opened it. There were eight steamed buns inside.
"father?"
"eat."
The sword master picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
"Dad, what if..."
After following the prince for a long time, he will naturally learn to be extra careful about eating.
The sword master shook his head and said: "The people on the other side are afraid of death, but not to the point of death."
This is not because the sword master is "feminine" or "easy to trust others", but it is really not necessary.
Furthermore, Zheng Fan is not here;
It's not that if Zheng Fan is here, everyone will not dare to eat steamed buns, but if he is here, the steamed buns may be poisoned.
We are not in the same circle, so we don’t have any scruples when doing things.
This is probably the kind of pure "comrades" relationship.
Liu Dahu also took a steamed bun and took a bite. He had been hungry for a long time. The joy when he chewed a mouthful of white-flour steamed bun was so happy that it made people shed tears.
But Liu Dahu still muttered while eating;
"The steamed buns are so small and don't have fillings yet. I want to eat shredded radish and meat fillings."
The steamed buns of Eastern Jin Dynasty have developed into a special feature under the almost stubborn persistence of Prince Pingxi;
It was obviously a habit of calling Zheng Fan in the dialect of his hometown in his previous life, but here, it has become a kind of cultural confidence.
Not just white flour steamed buns, but also filled with stuffings and shredded pork. That’s all, they only deserve to be called steamed buns here!
The father and son each ate two and kept the rest.
Liu Dahu fetched water and came to wash his father's hands.
the other side,
The swordmaker shouted:
"Brother Yu, let's go!"
After the duel a few days ago, the Juggernaut told them to "go away", but they didn't.
Today, the sword maker called the sword master to leave, but the sword master did the same and did not respond or leave.
After a while, the swordmaker shouted again:
"Brother Yu, does it have to be like this? You are worthy of that person, really."
The sword master said to Liu Dahu: "What should I do if I eat someone else's steamed buns?"
Liu Dahu nodded, stood up, walked to the river and shouted to the other side: "Thank you two uncles for the steamed buns."
The swordmaker sighed and sat back again.
At dusk, dozens more silver-armored guards came to the other side. After nightfall, several bonfires were lit on the other side.
Liu Dahu also lit up the fire and grilled the remaining steamed buns, and the two of them continued to share the food.
This night passed again.
In the early morning, Liu Dahu was awakened by the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side. He opened his eyes, sat up, and saw hundreds of people coming opposite, all wearing the clothes of the Silver Armor Guard.
In fact, Silver Armor Guard was originally one of the Twelve Guards in Shangjing and was the name of the army;
But later he was recruited into the pro-army army by the emperor and started to work as a fan.
In essence, they are still an army.
Liu Dahu started to fetch and boil water, but the tea leaves were gone.
The sword master took the water bag, drank the hot water in small sips, and said:
"Do you think it's boring?"
"Ah?" Liu Dahu was a little confused, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"Dad, I'm asking you if you find it boring."
"Why did dad suddenly ask the child this?"
"Because dad wants to know." After a pause, the sword master added, "Because dad himself suddenly felt that it was not interesting."
"Dad, I originally thought that I could witness the shocking battle between dad and those two uncles."
When talking about this, Liu Dahu smiled sheepishly.
"And then, you were disappointed?"
"No, I think it's because I'm here that I'm dragging my father down."
The Sword Master shook his head and said: "You have never been a burden to my father. You were not before, you are not now, and you will not be... in the future."
"The child is stupid and can only help his father with this little thing. When my brother grows up, he should..."
"You are also my son, Yu Huaping. In fact, dad is just like other fathers. He may say something, but his son is always the best.
In this life, some people can go very high, and some people may wander around all their lives, but no matter how high you go, the sky will be higher than you.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you are standing high or low.
Hold out your chest,
They are all called standing upright. "
"The boy knows."
"You didn't choose to practice swordsmanship with dad at first, but now it seems that you were right." The sword master looked to the other side, "This world is not interesting anymore.
Especially not long ago, I just witnessed a battle in which thousands of people died;
Take another look now,
Although my father is not good at music, he also knows that such a high-pitched tone is really not suitable for the current situation.
But that’s how things are in this world.
Some people are brave and powerful, while others are just like dogs and cats.
It’s not about whether the latter is right or wrong, it’s just your own choice, but when the building is about to collapse, you will have no shame to lament in memory. "
"Dad, my son doesn't quite understand what you said."
"If dad lets you go, will you go?"
"Dad, where can the child go alone? This is Qian Country after all, so the child can stay with his father."
The Sword Master nodded, "If you beg them, maybe they won't let you die, but will give you life."
Liu Dahu immediately said: "That child might as well die. The prince said that death is inevitable for everyone. It may be heavier than the broken mountain or lighter than a feather."
"Dad remembers that when he first said this, it seemed that it was not called Tianduan Mountain, but some other mountain..."
The sword master thought for a while and said:
"Later he also said that he would like to change the name of a mountain if he had the opportunity in the future."
"Ok?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Do you know why dad has been sitting here for so many days? Not doing anything but sitting here?"
"My child knows that in order to be here, dad dragged the two uncles on the other side, as well as the silver-armored guards from Jianggan Kingdom, here. Dad used himself as bait to cover for the prince."
Liu Dahu's "silliness" comes from comparing him with Chen Xianba. It does not mean that the child is really not smart.
"Qian Ren's Silver Armored Guards are amazing." The Sword Master said, "Zheng Zheng has said more than once that he must find a way to quickly build his own bodyguards in brocade clothes. At least, they must be able to compete with the Silver Armored Guards."
In terms of espionage warfare, the Silver Armored Guards are really much more powerful than the regular army of Qianguo.
In comparison, Yan State's secret espionage department has not been able to truly grow due to its scale of development and time, as well as due to Du Juan's incident and the death of the palace master.
This time when Emperor Qian went on an expedition, the Silver Armored Guards, as the emperor's personal army, actually brought out most of the elites. As for the rest, they were almost lost in the upper capital.
To a certain extent, when the Yan army attacked the capital, the Silver Armored Guards did resist until the end.
This is the country of Qian. Zheng Fan wants to escape successfully. In fact, Qian Jun’s relationship is really not big. As long as he is not surrounded and controlled in advance, it will be difficult to defeat him;
But if there is an existence like the Silver Armored Guard who specializes in search and spying to assist, things will be different.
Emperor Qian made up his mind and wanted Zheng Fan to die. Naturally, he sent out the Silver Armored Guards. Who would lead them?
The sword master's eyes fell on the other side.
Who else could it be?
Maybe, the two people on the other side were really helpless. Because of their toughness, they had no choice but to choose this stalemate. Then, more and more Silver Armored Guards who were originally involved in the search were gathered towards them. here.
What is the purpose of gathering?
Very clear.
I have said it myself, and I have the ability to drag one and two together to be buried together;
On the other side, they just wanted to add more manpower. It didn't take much, just a few hundred silver-armored guards, which was enough to change the situation. After all, those two were not vegetarians.
With a group of people in front who are not afraid of death, there is a lot of room for both of them to do something and protect themselves at the same time.
The sword master laughed at himself: "I have the same virtue as that surnamed Zheng, but I don't have enough strength. I have to make up for it with the number of people."
Prince Pingxi has always been timid and afraid of death. There must be a sword master living next door to the palace, and zombies lying under the palace. There must be bodyguards in royal robes inside and outside the palace. Outside Fengxin City, there are two soldiers and horses, which are actually to protect him.
In the past, when there was no strong man of Sword Master's level around him, after seeing that there was such a strong man in the world, Zheng Fan's thought was very simple, I will kill you with people!
The Silver Armored Guards on the other side gathered again, numbering in the hundreds.
Baili Sword and the sword maker have already stood up, and some of the Silver Armored Guards have already started to cross the river from the upstream and downstream. The river is not wide and the water is not deep.
In addition, figures began to flicker on the other side of the father and son. Apparently, a group of silver-armored guards had already surrounded them from there.
"Brother Yu, do you think you made a loss or a profit?" Baili Jian asked, stepping on the river.
The sword master did not stand up, still sitting, and replied:
"When people live, they always calculate their profits and losses. It's so boring. Just be happy."
"What about your son?" the swordmaker asked.
"It's nice to die with my son, isn't it?"
"Tsk, tsk, don't worry, I will accept your son." The sword maker said, "If we are like gods, we should show our love in the end."
The Sword Master nodded and said: "Then I will try my best to take Brother Baili with me later."
Even if the silver-armored guards came and surrounded the place, the sword master still has this kind of arrogance. If he can't hold off two people, he should try to pull one of them.
"Haha." Baili Jian laughed, "If I had known better, I should have said this first."
Baili Sword and the sword maker began to step forward slowly on the river, and behind them, Thyme Orchid did the same;
On the periphery, the encirclement of the silver-armored guards is gradually shrinking, and the bows, crossbows and shields have already formed a formation.
The sword master reached out, touched his son's head, and said:
"Do you blame dad?"
"No wonder, dad is kind to me."
“Back then, I never thought that your father would be willing to do this for him.
so,
Your mother is right,
If others are kind to you, the favors you owe will accumulate over time, and you will have to pay with your life.
Your father and I have the false reputation of being sword masters, but in the end, in fact, we are no different from those wanderers who bought their lives for a pot of wine and three ounces of meat. "
"Dad...do you regret it?"
"No regrets."
"Dad, there is something that my child has never told you."
"what's up?"
Liu Dahu untied the side chain of his armor and took out a... red stone.
The advancement on the Wangjiang River made Magic Pill suddenly move from being a laggard to being in the front row. This advancement brought about all-round changes, such as the convergence of breath.
In the past, the sword master could detect the magic pill, but now, as long as the magic pill does not make a sound, he can completely hide himself in front of the sword master.
However, when the sword master saw this red stone, a look of surprise appeared on his face;
Of course he knew what this red stone meant to the man named Zheng.
Even if he wasn't fighting, he would always keep this stone with him whenever he went out. It was his strongest and last line of security.
But now, it appeared in the hands of his son.
"The prince forced it on the child, and the child... didn't dare to disobey." Liu Dahu said with some fear, "Father, the prince is a very wise man. You may feel that you have deceived him, but the prince may just pretend to be attracted by you. Cheated."
The sword master took a deep breath,
Even though Baili Sword and the Sword Maker are pressing forward step by step, the formation of the Silver Armored Guards has been formed;
But the sword master still paid no attention to it.
Instead, he reached out and touched the red stone.The stone turned over several times on its own, as if trying to win: You didn't notice me, did you?
"He has changed," said the Juggernaut.
"Dad, are you talking about...the prince?"
"Do you still remember the Lin opera troupe in Chuzhou City, the one who played the role of the Taizu of the Qian Kingdom?"
"remember."
"She is acting, so why isn't he acting?" Juggernaut smiled, "But the difference is that she can really only act. After taking off her opera robe and getting off the stage, she is no longer acting.
And he, when he doesn't want to act anymore, he really does it. "
The sword master looked around,
With emotion:
"Your father and I are overwhelmed by the small favors accumulated over time. This time, he suddenly shouldered the debt of [-] lives.
hehehe..."
The sword master smiled,
He suddenly smiled,
The three people on the river suddenly stopped.
The silver-armored guards who surrounded him also paused.
"It's good. After he has a child, he has a place to gloat about his misfortunes again."
The sword master finally stood up, Long Yuan in hand.
Liu Dahu holds a red stone in his left hand and a knife in his right hand;
At this time,
Suddenly, a trembling sound came from the periphery, and a knight in black armor could vaguely be seen running towards here.
The red stone stood up in Liu Dahu's hand, and then swayed from side to side.
"Hey, Brother Yu, are you really going to play a big show about the love between master and servant? Your prince is here to save you, haha, just right, just right..."
smiling, smiling,
The swordsmith couldn't laugh anymore.
Because figures of black-armored knights appeared in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
this means,
The fleeing Yan army led by that prince is not here.
Coming,
It was the main force of the Yan army that defeated Shangjing City!
A shirtless man as tall as a tower,
brandishing an ax,
While running wildly, he was excited and excited, and at the same time shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Lord, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
----
Ask for a monthly pass!
