Pei Min wielded the Guanghan sword, swept away the dark clouds for thousands of miles, plucked flowers from all over the mountain, spread a ten-mile flower carpet, and invited Wu Daozi to come out of the mountain.

"What a great Pei Min, what a great sword, what a great song Guang Hai Ling Xiao!"

Wu Daozi was moved by this unparalleled sword dance. Seeing the stunned man next to him, he suddenly felt like teasing him and said jokingly:

"Did you see that? If any of you can be as sincere as General Pei, I will help him paint!"

Then he no longer looked at the ugly faces of those people, waved his hand to leave them behind, and went down the mountain with Pei Min.

Chapter 95: Sword Master's Sword

Light and shadow flew around, and Wu Daozi and Mount Zhongnan in front of Hu Xiuwu disappeared like clouds and smoke, and then the clouds and smoke gathered together and changed into new scenery.

This time, what appeared before Hu Xiuwu was a capital city that was once the home of all nations.

Changan.

In June of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Chang'an was no longer as lively and prosperous as before. An Lushan's army had just broken through the gate of Chang'an.

Most of the pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an were carrying luggage, walking in a hurry, and showing panic. Chang'an had been peaceful for a long time, and the people of Chang'an had not experienced the taste of war for a long time.

Suddenly, news came that the rebel army had broken through the city gates. Ordinary people were all panicked, packed up their belongings and tried to escape.

But the sad thing is that after escaping to the main road, they could only follow the crowd like a headless fly, fleeing in a direction away from the chaotic army.

Among the people fleeing famine, there was an old man with long flowing beard walking against the flow, leaning on a bamboo stick. When passing by a market town, he suddenly stopped and looked at a small shop in the distance with its sign lying on the ground, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

"Ah Man, did you see it? That's the best noodle shop in Chang'an. It was when I was eating noodles here that day that I learned that I passed the military examination." "It was also after that when I went to the palace to meet the emperor, that I first met the saint who was still a prince at the time."

"At that time, he was so wise and courageous, and he was good at judging people. He also thought that one day he would ascend to the throne and rebuild the great cause of the Tang Dynasty."

"But, why has he become like this now?"

Pei Min clenched the laurel in his hand and said with great sorrow.

A jade rabbit jumped out of the bamboo stick, chirping to comfort Pei Min.

In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Pei Min was over seventy years old and had grown a long beard. To Yi Ren, this age was far from old. His sword was still the best in the world, but his heart had already turned cold.

After the news of An Lushan's rebellion reached Chang'an, Pei Min, who had been idle at home for a long time, went deep into An Lushan's military camp alone after settling his family down for the sake of peace in the world, intending to do the same as Zhuan Zhu and Jing Ke.

Pei Min went deep into the military camp several times to assassinate An Lushan, but An Lushan was a cautious person and always had extraordinary guards around him. Although these guards were far less skilled than Pei Min, with the assistance of tens of thousands of troops, they managed to force Pei Min back several times.

Although the assassination attempt did not succeed, An Lushan dared not leave the tent. He could not sleep all night at the slightest sign of trouble.

As time went on, An Lushan's existing eye disease became more serious, almost to the point where he could not see. His temper also became more and more violent. He often became furious for no reason and would beat his personal servants to death to vent his anger.

Although several assassination attempts failed, Pei Min was not discouraged and still hid near An Lushan's army, trying to find an opportunity to assassinate An Lushan again. However, he was shocked to hear that the saint in Chang'an had ordered the killing of General Gao Xianzhi of the Right Jinwu Guard.

After Pei Min went deep into the battle, he naturally knew that if it weren't for Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan would have marched straight into Chang'an. But now the saint has actually executed his own general. Isn't this destroying the Great Wall?

As expected, after Gao Xianzhi's death, Tongguan, the last barrier of Chang'an, was breached.

There was no time to find another opportunity to assassinate An Lushan, so Pei Min rushed back to Chang'an day and night, wanting to give advice to the saint, hoping that the saint would not believe in slander.

But when he arrived in Chang'an, he found that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had abandoned his people and ran away!

Ran! ! !

In such a huge city like Chang'an, who could understand the sadness and sorrow in Pei Min's heart at this moment?

"Fortunately, Brother Wu has passed away. Otherwise, if he had seen Chang'an in such a state of desolation and spiritlessness, he would have been furious."

Pei Min sighed and continued to rush towards the direction of An Lushan's army. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact, each step was more than ten feet long, which was faster than the best warhorse in the army.

When he arrived near Lanlingfang on Zhuque Street, Pei Min could already see scattered vanguard soldiers of An Lushan.

Since ancient times, there has been a custom of burning, killing and looting to appease the morale of the troops after a city has been captured. These rebels are no exception. This group of soldiers and bandits kicked open the doors of every house along the way and looted gold and silver.

Some soldiers who were already blood-thirsty would kill civilians on the head if they encountered any of them who had not yet had time to escape.

In one room, a Hu soldier under An Lushan, with lustful eyes, was grabbing a girl with disheveled hair and ragged clothes and was about to commit a crime. In another room, a Hu soldier was searching for gold and silver when he accidentally found a young child hidden in a rice jar. The child's cry made him raise the knife in his hand.

Pei Min heard the girl's weeping and the child's wailing, but he did not stop.

Just when these Hu soldiers were about to kill, they saw a flash of silver strings in the air, and the heads of these Hu soldiers slipped from their necks, blood spurted out like fountains, and the only sound in the house was the crying of those who survived the disaster.

The sword master walked past the house and beheaded the bandit inside.

Pei Min beheaded all the evil soldiers he could sense doing evil along the way. His swordsmanship became more sophisticated than when he was in Zhongnan Mountain decades ago. His moves were so subtle that he seemed to have returned to his original nature.

Finally, when he arrived at Kaimingfang, Pei Min saw the organized army under An Lushan.

Troops who can still maintain their ranks after the city is broken can be considered elite soldiers.

The vanguard general under An Lushan saw an old man holding a bamboo stick. Everyone else ran away, but this old man came towards them. He thought there must be a reason for this abnormal situation. He took out the bow and arrow hanging beside him, bent the bow and pointed the arrow at Pei Min, and shouted loudly:

"Then don't come forward again, old man! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you with an arrow!"

Pei Min seemed unaware, and when he approached, the vanguard recognized him and called out in panic:

"Pei Min!"

The bowstring in his hand lost its strength due to fear, and the arrow on the bow flew away to who knows where.

Not only was the vanguard general afraid, but the generals on his left and right were also very frightened. One general on horseback even subconsciously tilted his lance slightly downwards and did not dare to point his weapon at Pei Min, for fear of attracting Pei Min's attention.

"It's the former General of the Left Jinwu Guard, Pei Min!"

"Is it Pei Min who charged into the battle line several times before and tried to assassinate His Majesty? When did he return to Chang'an?"

(On the first day of the first lunar month in the fifteenth year of Tianbao, An Lushan proclaimed himself the Emperor of Great Yan in Luoyang and changed the reign title to Shengwu)

A man's shadow is like a tree's name. Even though Pei Min failed to assassinate An Lushan, he was still safe and sound after several failed assassination attempts. He came and went freely in the army and no one was afraid of him.

The vanguard commander held the reins tightly with his left hand, his palm wet, and shouted at Pei Min in a timid tone:

"Pei Min, your Tang emperor has already escaped. What's the point of you blocking him here?"

Pei Min finally stopped and looked up at the courageless general on his horse, his expression unchanged:

"Who said I was doing this for the emperor? Ever since he abandoned Chang'an and fled, he is no longer a saint in my heart."

"I came here for the people of Chang'an."

"If I stop you for a moment, Chang'an will have a moment of peace; if I kill one of you, it is possible to save a family from the disaster of war!"

As the conversation went on, Pei Min drew his sword and stood up, concentrating his mind. The sword's will filled the heaven and earth, and the sword's energy wandered. The sword's light split into thousands and turned into a heavy rain, breaking through the illusion and washing away the filth of the mortal world.

Dark Moon Sword Technique: Cold Mirror Breaks Mountains and Rivers

Sword rain fell from the sky, piercing through the group of soldiers and horses together. Then Pei Min was still not satisfied, and poured all his life's cultivation into Zhegui and inserted it into the blue bricks of Zhuque Street.

He turned the surrounding four areas into his sword domain, and with the continuous injection of Pei Min's cultivation, the sword domain continued to expand until it included the entire Chang'an.

On his way to Chang'an, Pei Min met a Taoist who stopped him.

The Taoist told him that if he went to Chang'an, he would probably die. Pei Min thanked the Taoist for his frankness, but still chose to return to Chang'an.

"As a soldier, it is a blessing for Pei to die on the battlefield!"

The Taoist sighed, knowing that he could not persuade Pei Min, so he could only engrave his unique skill, Di Gang Ling, on the laurel before Pei Min left, hoping to help Pei Min.

The seven-star pattern and cloud pattern on Zhegui's sword echo each other, absorbing the Gengjin Qi from underground Chang'an from the tip of the sword to maintain the sword domain and transform the sword Qi in the sword domain into the more ferocious Gengjin evil spirit.

"Ha, thank you very much, senior!"

Knowing that he was going to die, Pei Min still managed to laugh. He summoned the sword spirit Ah Man, who won the first prize, and said to her gently:

"Ah Man, help me defend this city. We will defend it as long as we can! We will defend it until peace returns to the world!"

Ah Man stared with tears in her big round eyes, trying to stop Pei Min, but Pei Min's lifelong cultivation had been transferred into Zhegui, and his body turned into stardust and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Ever since Li Longji escaped from Chang'an, Pei Min had been completely disappointed in him. He knew in his heart that even if he killed An Lushan, so what? With such a saint around, if one An Lushan died, there would be another An Lushan to stand up.

So he didn't want to dance with sword for the saint anymore. His last sword was for the people of Chang'an. Pei Min turned Chang'an into his sword domain cold mirror.

Inside the cold mirror, you must abide by Pei Min’s rules!

Those who stole had their hands chopped off, those who burned, killed, and looted had their heads beheaded, regardless of which prince finally moved into Chang'an.

Do not use force rashly within Chang'an.

Ah Man followed Pei Min's final order and maintained order in Han Jing for two years. Although she failed to prevent An Lushan from entering Chang'an during these two years, she did save the people of Chang'an from the disaster of war.

In the second year of Zhide, An Lushan was killed by his son An Qingxu, and Emperor Suzong of Tang was finally about to take back Chang'an.

Before the Tang army arrived, someone broke into Chang'an at night. The moment he stepped into the Han Jing sword area, Ah Man noticed him, but because he did not violate the rules of Han Jing, he ignored the man.

Ah Man maintained the Cold Mirror for two years. Even with Pei Min's lifelong cultivation and the blessing of the Gengjin Qi under Chang'an, she was already exhausted and had no energy to care about other things.

Unexpectedly, the man walked straight towards Zhegui. Ah Man opened his eyes, and the Gengjin evil spirit in the sword domain was ready to move. If this man had bad intentions, Ah Man would control the sword domain to kill him.

Unexpectedly, when he was ten steps away from Zhegui, the man suddenly stopped and bowed solemnly to Zhegui:

"I am Chao Heng, the Minister of Imperial Guards, and I am here to greet General Pei. The royal army will recapture Chang'an soon, and General Pei can rest in peace now."

Ah Man was hiding in the laurel tree. When she heard Chao Heng's words, she couldn't help but blink.

What did he mean? My mission is accomplished?

Ah Man's mind relaxed a little and he could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

Chao Heng saw Zhegui flickering, then completely silent after flashing a few times. The sword domain also dissipated with the night wind.

Chao Heng straightened his clothes, put down his sword, bowed solemnly to Zhegui, and shouted:

"Chao Heng, send General Pei off!"

Wang Wei: "Presented to General Pei Min"

There is a sword with seven stars on the waist and a carved bow with medals of a hundred battles on the arm.

When I heard that a cunning captive was captured in the clouds, I realized that there was a general in heaven.

Chapter 96 Yu Jingzi, A Man

Hu Xiuwu opened his eyes suddenly and found himself back in his nest from Chang'an a thousand years ago. His eyes were still a little dazed and his mind was still immersed in the last sword that Pei Min swung in Chang'an.

He didn't wake up until the anaconda gently touched him twice with its head.

"This is really..."

Hu Xiuwu was in a complicated mood. Tu Junfang had asked him to abandon the secular world and comprehend the way to kill the three corpses with him. At night, he met a swordsman who was the best in the world and told him with the sword in his hand that what he said was bullshit!
