Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 134 What a fast sword
The young man just stared at him without blinking, as if looking at a dead person.

Du Chengwu could only stand up, forced a smile and said:
"This little brother's name is Gao? Forgive me for my clumsy eyes..."

The young man said: "I'm at Bai Canghai, just now you said that there is no one in the Bai family?"

His voice was flat as if he was talking about family affairs, but it fell into Du Chengwu's ears like thunder on the ground, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he almost didn't cry. , quickly bent down, squeezed a smile, clasped his fists and said: "So it's Mr. Bai, the Bai family I just said just now is not the Bai family in Yangzhou, but...it's the Bai family in Hangzhou."

Bai Canghai ignored his words, and said, "You also use a sword?"

Du Chengwu really wanted to say that he didn't use a sword, but the sword on his back couldn't escape other people's eyes and ears, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I do use a sword."

Bai Canghai said: "I challenge you."

What he said was still calm, as if he was saying that I would buy you a drink.But to Du Chengwu's ears, his face turned pale instantly, and he almost knelt down.He dared to swear that if there were not so many people watching, he would really kneel down.

Seeing all this, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the words 'disaster comes from the mouth'.

Thoughts turned in Du Chengwu's mind, he suddenly stepped back seven steps, and suddenly pulled out his sword in a "choke", others only said that he was going to fight the opponent desperately.

Unexpectedly, with a backhand, he picked up a dish on the table next to him. The dish contained fried shrimp balls, and the shrimp balls flew up immediately.

He only heard the hiss of the sword wind, and the sword light turned around like a horse, and more than a dozen fried shrimp balls were cut in half by him and fell to the ground one after another.

Du Chengwu showed a smug expression on his face, and said: "As long as Mr. Bai can play one hand as usual, I will immediately admit defeat."

His swordsmanship is really not weak, and his words are beautiful, but Ye Chen is secretly amused, this person can be regarded as quick-witted, if he does this, Bai Canghai can only chop shrimp balls, but not him No matter if he wins or loses, at least he has saved his life.

Unfortunately, what he met today was not an ordinary person, to be precise, not a person with ordinary thinking.

Bai Canghai froze for a moment, then said, "I'm challenging you, not these shrimp balls."

The young man with the knife who sneered before suddenly said: "If you are willing to crawl around on the ground, Mr. Bai may not challenge you again, otherwise Mr. Bai will not only challenge you, but also keep your head .”

This sentence was just uttered by Du Chengwu and the others when they were bragging about themselves. Now, every word that comes out of this young swordsman's mouth becomes like a knife.

Bai Canghai glanced at the young man with the knife in surprise, the latter cupped his fists and bowed to him from a distance, Bai Canghai nodded to him, and did not speak any more.Ye Chen felt that the two should know each other, but they should not.The two did know each other, and the young man with the knife is also well-known in the Jianghu. Together with Bai Canghai, he was recognized by the Jianghu as the No. 1 knife and sword of the younger generation.

Du Chengwu saw that Bai Canghai didn't speak, his face turned green and then pale, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly crawled on the ground, and actually crawled around the table.

Seeing this, Bai Canghai seemed to lose interest all of a sudden, turned around and walked towards the young man with the knife.

However, at the moment when Bai Canghai turned around, Du Chengwu suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at Bai Canghai's back!There was no warning about this sword, and no one could have imagined it in advance, including Bai Canghai, the target of the attack.

But Bai Canghai seemed to have eyes behind his back, he suddenly turned around, and at the same time the sword in his hand had already stabbed out!

The sword was still stuck in Bai Canghai's belt, and everyone had seen the sword before.And it was done after Du Chengwu.

But suddenly, the sword had been inserted into Du Chengwu's throat first, and Du Chengwu's sword was still two or three inches away from Bai Canghai.

Everyone also saw the three-foot-long sword passing through Du Chengwu's throat.No blood is shed, because the blood has not yet shed.

But apart from Ye Chen, no one saw clearly how his sword pierced Du Chengwu's throat!Because the speed at which this sword is drawn has exceeded the visual capture ability of normal people, and Ye Chen's eyes are not human to some extent, so he can see it, but when he sees the Bai Canghai sword unsheathed, I didn't look any further.

Because, at the same time that Bai Canghai's sword was unsheathed, the young man with a knife behind him suddenly jumped up, and the long knife in his hand was like lightning, slashing towards Bai Canghai, the timing and angle were just right.And also without warning.

Without even thinking about it, Ye Chen threw a chopstick in his hand out.

Bai Canghai suddenly turned around, only to see a young man with a knife with whom he had met once before and who still had a three-point friendship. Suddenly he roared and jumped up to a height of six feet, but the knife in his hand flew out and stuck in the eaves of the house. superior.

The silk fringe on the hilt was still trembling, and a chopstick was inserted into the right wrist of the knife-bearing young man holding the knife, and it pierced through directly. He screamed and wanted to retreat quickly, but the sword in Bai Canghai's hand pierced receive.

The young man with the knife blocked his throat with his hands, instead of looking at Bai Canghai, he turned his head and glared at Ye Chen, his eyes almost protruding.

Ye Chen's shot just now was out of his instinct, but he was also taken aback by the effect of his shot, and he didn't expect that the strength of his hand was already so terrifying. As for the accuracy, he took it for granted.

A lot of blood flowed out from the wrist of the young man with the knife.

He stared at Ye Chen, and there was a rattling sound in his throat, and only then did someone realize that Ye Chen only had one chopstick in his hand, and the other seemed to be stuck in the hand of the young man with the knife.

Just as no one saw how the sword in Bai Canghai's hand pierced the throats of Du Chengwu and the young man with the knife, no one saw how Ye Chen's chopsticks were inserted into the wrist of the young man with the knife.

Bai Canghai pierced the young man with the knife who was attacking him with a sword. Looking at the young man with the knife, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, as if he couldn't figure out why the young man with the knife wanted to kill him suddenly.

But he just glanced at it, and walked up to Ye Chen, his wild eyes seemed to show a warm smile.

But what he said made Ye Chen's face change.He lowered his voice and said, "I just came from the north, and I have seen a portrait of a person many times. You saved me just now, so we are even. However, if I can meet you again next time, I would like to invite you." you drink."

Bai Canghai had just finished his one-year training, and he just returned to Yangzhou today.The place where he last experienced was the Jianghuai area of ​​the Song Dynasty in the north. There is no portrait of Ye Chen in Yangzhou City, or there is no portrait of Ye Chen yet, but north of the Yangtze River, the streets and alleys of the Jianghuai area of ​​the Song Dynasty have already been plastered these days. After seeing Ye Chen's portrait, how could Bai Canghai not recognize Ye Chen.

Bai Canghai left, Ye Chen packed the leftover cakes and had to pay the bill, the restaurant owner didn't dare to take it, Ye Chen, who was short of money, naturally followed suit, with a pale face, who was quite frightened by the scene just now Han Keer drove away in the carriage.

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has always played a pivotal role.The transportation of grain, grass, salt, money, and iron from the north to the south must pass through Yangzhou.Many merchants from all over the world lived in the city and engaged in trade, which made Yangzhou city extremely developed in industry and commerce.

Although Yangzhou was severely damaged in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, with the establishment of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the establishment of Yangzhou as the eastern capital, Yangzhou has recovered its former prosperity in the past 20 years.

However, after entering the city, apart from his initial curiosity, Ye Chen had no intention of visiting this famous city at all.Because he has been worried about his own safety, Bai Canghai just came from the Jianghuai area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and if he can recognize himself, then all the people from the Song Dynasty in the past two days are very likely to recognize him, although because he has to cross the border, from the north There won't be too many people coming, but there must be some.

"You can't live in a crowded inn for a long time, you have to rent a house, and you have to live in a poor area. Then find someone to heal your throat, earn enough travel expenses, and return to Dasong as soon as possible."

"But these all need money, so the most urgent task is how to get enough money."

Ye Chen thought to himself and cleared his mind.

Although Han Ke'er is in good health and rides in a carriage, the roads in this era are not very smooth, and riding in a carriage is also very bumpy.It was more than 20 miles all the way, but Han Keer had already reached the limit, but she gritted her teeth and held on.

Now, after finally coming to Yangzhou City, Ye Chen will never let her continue walking.At a tea stand by the city gate, Ye Chen helped Han Ke'er to sit down, spent six renminbi, ordered two cups of tea, and took out a few cakes left over from lunch, treating it as dinner.

Ye Chen is now a mute, so the two of them have nothing to say, they can only eat in silence.During this period, Ye Chen frowned slightly, thinking how to get a lot of money in a short time.

At this moment, the conversation between two people passing by attracted him.

"Are you sure Hu San can hear the points of the color?"

"I've been watching him for three months. He gambles every two days. He goes to different casinos each time. He only gambles on dice. Every time he wins but never loses. And the number of times he wins is the same. He won ten times out of ten and lost three times, and the three times he lost were the three times he bet the least money. If such a thing happened once or twice, it would be fine, but if it happened every time, it could only be said that he I know the number of dice every time. And I happen to know that there is a kind of person who is born with special ears, with extremely sensitive hearing, far beyond ordinary people, and can distinguish the extremely subtle sounds of different numbers. I have carefully observed Hu San's ears , not to mention the size of an ordinary person, the shape is also very special."

"Well, today we will bet money with Hu San, and we will bet whatever he bets. You said earlier that he was in that casino?"

"Brother Liu! He's at Ping An Casino."

"Ping An Casino, isn't it right next to it?"

"Nonsense, of course it's right next to you. Otherwise, it's a hot day, and I took you for half an hour from the south of the city to the north of the city. What are you doing here?"
