The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1234 Lead the snake out of the hole
It was fine if Li Chishui didn't ask, but when he asked, Xu Ting covered her face with her hands and didn't answer.

Li Chishui said: "We know what's on my sister's mind. You want to go out, but you can't go out. We will do it for you, but you won't let me go. Why are you not in a hurry when such a big matter is left there? But it doesn't help if you call it out. , I was so anxious that I couldn’t do anything.”

After a while of persuasion, seeing Xu Ting still crying, Li Chishui thought about it, stood up and said, "If you don't let us do it for you, I will be obedient and not do it for you! I will only go out to find out information for you. If that kid Wu Xi Come out, I'll come back and tell you, then you take the sword to find him, and cut off his head..."

After Li Chishui finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Xu Ting was in a hurry and went up to grab his arm, but it was empty. Li Chishui ran out of the gate.

But when he was on the street, Li Chishui became a little dazed. He said a few words to persuade people.

Let's talk about this Wu Xi first, he doesn't know him, even if he walks towards him, he doesn't know who it is!Besides, Wu Xi lives in the Marquis Mansion, where is the Wuqing Marquis Mansion, although there is a mouth under the nose, you can ask.But I am a poor beggar, asking where the Marquis's Mansion is now, wouldn't it be arousing suspicion and causing trouble!

At that time, someone with a heart will find out where this little beggar lives, but Xu Ting's hiding place will be exposed!

Even if you find the Wuqinghou Mansion, how can you get in?Shouting at the gate, "Wu Xi, boy, come out and wait here. I'll go back and call my master sister and ask her to cut off your head"?I'm afraid this is a limitless matter!
Li Chishui slammed like a headless fly on the street, and bumped into Fangqiaoji, but nothing came of it. He stood still for a while, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Zhao standing in the crowd, hugging Chen Zhao in his arms. Holding a sword with grass marks stuck on it.

Li Chishui was overjoyed when he saw it, and squeezed forward and said, "You have cheated master and sister of a large sum of money, what's the matter if you don't think it's enough? When did you cheat her out of the sword again?"

Chen Zhao also smiled and said, "The silver I earned is yours too, don't talk nonsense to me!" As he spoke, he leaned into Li Chishui's ear and said this and that. up.

It turns out that although Chen Zhao is a quasi-sage, since he has experienced the world, of course he is not willing to directly capture Wu Xi, or behead Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, to avenge his own parents or something, that is too unartistic .

So this morning after breakfast, he walked out of the house, turned out of the alley, quickened his pace, and went straight to the Hou's mansion. In the back alley, he transformed himself into a rich and wealthy man dressed up. With this burden, he hid himself, Standing at the gate of Hou Mansion and waiting.

Naturally, the majestic Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion does not have only one door. Chen Zhao is shrouded in spiritual consciousness, just waiting for someone to come out.

After a short time, a man walked out of the corner door. When Chen Zhao saw him, he turned around and left.

This man is the general of the Marquis of Wuqing and the son of the Shi family, named Shi Xiao.These days the Hou Mansion is tense, Shi Xiao has not been able to get away, these days he is a little loose, he took a day off and went to the street to find that lively place to hang out.

After a few steps out of the gate of the Hou's Mansion, he saw a gorgeously dressed young man in front of him, staggering forward with this burden, it seemed that the burden was heavy and he was a little struggling.Shi Xiao was in a hurry to go to the street to have fun, walking briskly, he was about to overtake the young man, but he saw the young man bump up the bag that had slipped off his shoulders, and with just this bump, a shiny thing fell out, When Shi Xiao saw it, his heart moved, but the young master didn't notice it, he just walked forward.

Shi Xiao slowed down, lowered his head and took a closer look, it turned out to be a gold ingot!Shi Xiao bent down to pick it up, holding it in the palm of his hand, he was both surprised and happy.

The young man never looked back, looked at the alley on the left, Shi Xiao quietly turned in, looked back to see that there was no one around, and carefully looked at the gold ingot.Seeing the words "Zuchi" and the silver mark, Shi Xiao couldn't help being elated: I'm going to buy a pair of gold bracelets for my mother-in-law, I don't know how happy she is!

Thinking of this, he put the gold ingot in his arms, walked a few steps, and suddenly had a new thought: The burden is not big, but it looks very heavy, and it must be full of gold!Going forward is the back alley. I knocked this boy unconscious with a palm on the back of the head. Without anyone noticing, where would he find me?

Thinking of this, Shi Xiao turned around and strode back. As he walked, he regretted: I'm afraid the young man has gone too far... Why didn't I think of this idea before!
Walking out of the alley, Shi Xiao suddenly shrank back—it turned out that the young master was sitting on a stone step not far from the alley entrance, panting.

Shi Xiao was happy, he hid outside the alley and waited, only to hear the little boy sigh, and said to himself: "Father is too old and confused this time, let me take all this gold alone, he is not afraid of exhausting me It’s all right, aren’t you afraid that someone will knock me out with a punch and snatch the gold away?”

Shi Xiao was startled when he heard this, and then he heard the young master say: "It's still so far away from home, I have to choose a way to go. If I go to a place with many people, someone will definitely see that I'm carrying gold, and they will squeeze me in." Go, whoever puts his hand into my bag and steals a gold ingot, I don’t even know it. If he got a good deal, I will definitely be scolded when I go back. I’d better choose a secluded alley, where there is no one , no one knows that I am carrying gold..."

Shi Xiao was secretly happy when he heard this, but when he heard that there was no movement, he poked his head out from the alley and saw that the young man had already picked up his burden and was walking forward, then he also turned out of the alley and quietly followed behind.

The young man walked for a while, and he got into a back alley.Shi Xiao looked around for no one, walked a few steps, and wanted to strike.Unexpectedly, after chasing to about five or six feet away from the little boy, he couldn't get any closer—for some reason, he saw the boy swaying slowly not far in front of him, and he couldn't catch up even with all his efforts.

After chasing him for a while, he got out of the alley, but it was the downtown area of ​​Fangqiao Street. The young man turned into the crowd and disappeared.Shi Xiao thought, besides the market, he would have to walk through the alleys, so he couldn't bear to give up, so he squeezed in to look for it.

Shi Xiao bumped back and forth in the crowd, he was dizzy from the collision, but he still hasn't seen the young master.

Thinking that what he couldn't find was not the boy, but a large bag of gold, Shi Xiao couldn't help but feel very depressed, so he had to comfort himself: I finally found a gold ingot, and my escape was not in vain.Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help touching my waist with my hand.

It doesn't matter if you touch it, cold sweat immediately broke out on your head, and it turns out that the ingot of gold has disappeared!Shi Xiao went crazy, spoiled himself countless times, where is the shadow of the gold ingot?
Shi Xiao guessed that when he was squeezing around to find the young man, someone took it out. This was the "oriole behind". He couldn't help sighing that it was unlucky, but there was nothing he could do about it. He sighed and turned around to take it. When he left the market, Hu heard a shout:
"Who wants to buy a sword, Qiushui sword..."

When Shi Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He turned his head and saw a beggar in ragged clothes, holding a long sword with a grass logo in his arms. The hilt and scabbard were inlaid with precious stones. The swords used by the assassins who broke into the Hou's Mansion were very similar.

Shi Xiao couldn't help being overjoyed: "The God of Wealth is here! This time the land will definitely get rich!"

That night the assassin entered the Hou Mansion. Wu Xi, the commander of the Hou Mansion, got a sword. Shi Xiao saw it under the torch. The hilt looked like the one held by the young man.

The sword body can emit a quiet light, which is unforgettable at first sight.

Later, the sword disappeared in the chaos, Master Wu was extremely sorry, and said that the sword was called "Autumn Water", and it was an extremely rare treasure, and its value seemed to be higher than Wu Xi's sword.

If the sword sold by this beggar is really the one that is lost at the moment, and if he gets it in his hand, Master Wu will definitely reward him with a sum of money.Besides, the lost sword did not lose the scabbard at this moment, so where did the scabbard come from?If he can find out where he is now from the scabbard, even the Duke of the country will be rewarded!
Shi Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said to the impoverished boy, "Bring me your sword!"

The young man handed over the sword, Shi Xiao took it, and drew the sword out of its sheath, only to see the blue light shining, the cold air was overwhelming, and there really was a seal character "Autumn Water Sword" on it.Shi Xiao didn't ask the price of the sword, but asked the poor beggar: "What's your name? What do you do?"

The man said: "If you buy a sword, just buy a sword and ask me my name and what I do. What do you mean by that?"

Shi Xiaodao: "Aren't you afraid to speak?"

The poor beggar Huazi said: "Dare to speak, dare to speak, my name is Chen Zhao, and I specialize in beating watchdogs."

Shi Xiao was taken aback for a moment, feeling greatly upset.

Because Shi Heng overthrew Yu Qian, he had a very bad reputation among the people, and the servants of the Hou Mansion were domineering, so they were often called "watchdogs" by people on the street.

So when Shi Xiao heard the word "watchdog", it was inevitable that his ears would be a little prickly, so he fixed his eyes on Chen Zhao and asked, "What do you think you do?"

Chen Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm a beggar. We beg along the street, and the watchdogs bite our thighs when they see it. So we have to prepare a dog-beating stick for beating the watchdog. Therefore, this beggar is a 'specialized beggar'." Hit watchdog'."

Shi Xiao snorted coldly, and said: "That's all. You bought the sword, come with me to get the silver!"

Chen Zhaodao: "You haven't asked how much this sword sells for!"

Shi Xiao looked at the sword in his hand and said: "I love swords the most. I think your sword is a good one, no matter how much it is, so I will keep it. It's just that I never expected to meet such a good thing in the market. I don’t have a lot of silver with me. If you come to your house with me, I will pay you whatever silver you want.”

Chen Zhaosuo: "Listen to you, you are a very good man. The more good you are, the more I shouldn't explain it to you. There is a saying that 'excessive asking price, pay back the money on the spot', I ask you for 1 taels , if you return me ten taels, I may sell it to you. When I arrive at your house, I want 1 taels, but you have already told me 'I will pay you no matter how much money you have', so you have to give me 1 taels , didn't you suffer a lot?"

Shi Xiaoxin thought: This child is hard to deal with!He showed his arrogance, waved his hand and said, "I told you to follow me, and you will follow me!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and he was very sure in his heart: "I hold your sword, and I can't help you not to leave!" !"

After walking a few steps, Shi Xiao looked back, the young beggar was still standing there, holding the sword in his arms.Shi Xiaomeng asked: "Where is my sword?" At some point, he had already become empty-handed.

Shi Xiao was puzzled. The sword was clearly in Yiji's hand just now. Why did it return to his hand all of a sudden?
Shi Xiao didn't believe there was such a strange thing, maybe he had handed over the poor beggar, he was ecstatic and forgot for a moment.

He turned around and went back, grabbed the sword and walked forward again. After walking a few steps, the sword was gone again.Looking back at the poor beggar, holding the sword as if nothing had happened, facing the crowd, he yelled loudly: "Is there anyone who bought a sword..."

Shi Xiao was stunned. He is the son of the Shi family, and he practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although it is not common, he knows a lot of special skills in fighting on the battlefield and fighting in the rivers and lakes thanks to his relationship with the Shi family. , with such a fast skill, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to deal with, and it is not appropriate to use force in a large audience. If he has his accomplices by his side, he will easily startle the snake. It is better to go back to the Marquis Mansion immediately and report to Master Wu. credit.

As for notifying the Jin Yiwei, Wucheng Bingma Si and other servants, Shi Heng's family is superior and does not want this credit to fall into their hands.

Thinking of this, Shi Xiao said to the poor beggar: "Since you don't want to go with me to get the money, just let it go, tell me how much this sword will sell for, and I'll go back to get the silver, you wait here for me, don't go away. "

Chen Zhao said: "This is good. I ask for 5000 taels for this sword. If you pay silver, you can give 2000 taels. You don't need to bring much. 1000 taels is almost enough. But if you want to take 300 taels If you sell it, I won't sell it, so don't you plan to do so!"

Shi Xiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that this young beggar would not leave for 1000 taels of silver, so he flew back to the Marquis Mansion to find Wu Xi.

Chen Zhao saw that the big fish was about to take the bait, and when he was about to turn around and go back to tell Xu Ting, he saw the bald Li Chishui approaching from a distance, so he stopped and waited for him, and told him to take Xu Ting to Fuyuan Lane to wait for the enemy.

However, not long after Li Chishui left, Chen Zhao saw Shi Xiao with a waist knife, pushed aside the crowd, and squeezed over. Behind him was a big red-faced man with a waist knife. When Chen Zhao saw him, he couldn't help shaking his head. It turned out to be the acquaintance .

It turned out that the man was Fang Chilong, the master of the Hou's mansion, the one who entangled Xu Ting that night and was shot by Chen Zhao's design. Looking a little farther away, there was a tall man with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, which was Fang Chilong.

Seeing them approaching, Chen Zhao turned around and left. Seeing that Chen Zhao was still standing there, Shi Xiao felt happy. Seeing him turn around, he immediately quickened his pace and turned back to tell Wu Xi, "That kid is going to slip!"

Wu Xi had seen the poor boy holding the sword walking quickly in front of Shi Xiao. Before Shi Xiao could say anything, Wu Xi had already sneered, pressed the sword on his waist, and jumped up from the crowd, holding the sword on his waist. Skimming over the heads of the crowd, landed outside a long wall barrier, hurried forward a few steps, and guarded the exit of the market.

He stopped, his eyes searched among the crowd, he didn't see the boy holding the sword, and when he turned his head, he saw that the boy had already left the market and was walking into the distance.Wu Xi was suddenly very surprised: "This kid has some tricks in his steps, and he is faster than me!" At this moment, he had no time to think carefully, and directly chased after him.

Chen Zhao looked back and saw Wu Xi chasing him, and ran away. Although he said he was out of the market, there were still many pedestrians on the street. A swimming fish, darting back and forth, without hindrance.Seeing that he was about to be unable to catch up, fortunately that guy panicked and fell on a big horse, unable to struggle for a while, the sword leaf was thrown far away,
Wu Xi was secretly happy, and chased after him and held it down, but he didn't know that the child was as slippery as a loach, slipped out of his hand, ran a few steps, grabbed the sword from the ground, and turned into an alley.

Wu Xi chased into the alley, and became happy again. It turned out that the alley was wide, but it was a dead end, with a high wall at the end. It must be that this guy panicked and ended up in a dead end.

Seeing that it was about to come to an end, the poor beggar suddenly shouted: "It's a robbery! It's a robbery! Someone is robbing my sword!"

Before the shouts fell, a girl in tights and a little beggar suddenly appeared from a doorway at the end. The poor boy who was running threw the sword in his hand to the girl, and the girl flashed three feet with a "swish". Qingfeng, Wu Xi's mind flashed: "Sure enough, I have caught up to the root!"

Wu Xi recognized the girl at a glance as the assassin. The search for many days had been like finding a needle in a haystack. Seeing her right in front of him today, Wu Xi felt as if he had obtained a rare treasure.

Although he kept saying that the girl was "the assassin who assassinated Duke Zhong", he knew it very well in his heart.These days, with the help of the power of the Duke of the State, Wu Xi couldn't get rid of her. Wu Xi couldn't sleep well at night, and he didn't know when her sword would reach his neck.

Thinking of not going out to get rid of the disaster in person that night, Wu Xi regretted so much, just now Shi Xiao reported the whereabouts of the "Autumn Water Sword", he was overjoyed, getting the sword was his wish, and chasing the enemy's whereabouts with the sword made him even more so. Guan Xing, in order to catch the young man selling the sword, it would take a lot of trouble to chase the owner of the sword out. He didn't want the boy to panic, so he went straight to his lair and lured the owner of the sword out.

Shi Xiao also said that the little beggar who sells swords is a bit unusual, judging from his extraordinary eyesight, he is only more agile in his hands and feet, not like a person who has practiced martial arts at all.

A hairy girl, two little beggars, a precious sword is enough to deal with them, not to mention a general Fang Chilong brought today!

But Xu Ting drew out her sword, touched the scabbard with her left hand, and said, "Are you Wu Xi?"

Wu Xi smiled slightly and said, "Mao Yatou doesn't even distinguish between the old and the young, so let me tell you your name!"

Chen Zhao stood aside and said with a smile: "It's actually not difficult to lure this Wu Xi out, but I didn't expect that you, Wu Xi, didn't even dare to tell others what your last name was. It's really embarrassing to make your ancestor angry. !"

Wu Xi heard the gun in his heart, but kept his face. He looked at a triangular stone beside his feet, kicked it up quickly, and the stone went straight to Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao stood there with his hands behind his back, seemingly unprepared, but with a "poof", the stone hit his forehead, and blood flowed all over his face immediately.

So Chen Zhao yelled "Wow", covered his face and ran out of the alley. Li Chishui saw that he was in a panic, and ran after him, trying to seal his wound.

Here, Xu Ting's anger flared up, new and old hatred poured into the tip of the sword, without saying a word, straight to Wu Xi's heart, as fast as lightning.Wu Xi had been prepared long ago, and his figure remained unchanged.Just flicking the knife lightly, the left arm suddenly stretched out at the same time, as if to grab Xu Ting's sword, but the right hand turned the blade again, cutting towards Xu Ting's left shoulder.Xu Ting slashed his sword and cut off his left arm, but Wu Xi's move was in vain. His left hand had already been withdrawn like lightning. He wanted to take the opportunity to destroy his weapon, but with a "Dang", he felt his left arm go numb.

Xu Ting didn't know that what Wu Xi used was also a treasure. This saber Wu Xi assisted Shuntian Mansion in handling the case the year before last, and got it from a Jiangyang thief.Wu Xi deceived Xu Ting because she was weak, so she didn't draw back the knife, she took a step earlier, the blade turned sharply, and the tip of the knife swiped downwards, only heard a soft "cha", and cut the cross knot on Xu Ting's chest.It wasn't that she was tightening her stomach quickly, she was afraid that she was going to have a big gut open.

Wu Xi went over with three swords, Xu Ting saw sweat on her head and felt hot on her face, but Wu Xi's sword was as tight as a knife, and the knife was pointed at the vital point.

Xu Ting originally had the advantage of weapons, but Wu Xi also used a precious sword, and his strength was far superior.

In this way, Xu Ting did not dare to collide with his weapon easily. She could only use the skills of dodging, shrinking, leaping and moving to avoid his sharp attack for the time being. Fortunately, her martial arts foundation was good, she was young and flexible, and she was able to defend well. Occasionally, he also resorted to dangerous moves, forcing Wu Xi to be cautious when attacking.

Besides, when Chen Zhao ran to the alley, Li Chishui hurriedly chased after him. When he reached the alley, Chen Zhao turned his head and grinned at Li Chishui.When Li Chishui looked again, there was no trace of the bloody hole on his forehead, so he was stunned for a moment.

Chen Zhaosuo: "You boy have been with me for so long for nothing, why don't you even know my tricks?"

Li Chishui couldn't help being amused, and asked him, "Then why are you running?"

Chen Zhao said with a smile: "Miss Xu's revenge is her own business. If I am present, if I can't help but search and kill him, Miss Xu's thoughts will also affect my plan. Besides, I will There are other things."

Li Chishui asked: "What else do you need?"

Chen Zhao pointed with his finger and said, "Look, something is coming, isn't it?"

Li Chishui turned his head and saw a man running fast. Seeing that the swords and swords were fighting in the alley, the man waved his hands back and said, "Here!" '

As he said that, he pulled out his waist knife and was about to run outside. Chen Zhao was standing against the wall. At this moment, he stretched out his hand, and the man called Xia. , fell heavily on the ground, struggled to get up, and flew into a rage: "So it's you, little..."

Before the word "thief" could be uttered, Chen Zhao's eyes were fixed, and he kicked him in the face. The man immediately screamed, blood flowed from his mouth, his teeth fell out, and he fell unconscious on the ground. It was Shi Xiao.

At this time Fang Chilong also arrived and ran straight in. Li Chishui suddenly jumped forward, just right at Fang Chilong's feet.

But Fang Chilong has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has a lot of adaptability. Seeing Li Chishui attacking, he jumped up, jumped over Li Chishui, turned around and kicked Li Chishui, Li Chishui screamed, and ate a dog on the ground. mud.

Li Chishui was furious. He jumped up and threw himself at Fang Chilong, intending to throw the red-faced man over the wall just like he threw Zhao Jiu.

But Fang Chilong dodged and Li Chishui missed her. Fang Chilong hit her on the butt and kicked her again. Li Chishui fell down with a "plop".

Fang Chilong ignored him, pulled out his knife, and ran straight into the alley.Li Chishui was out of breath, pointing to the half gray brick on the ground, and Fang Chilong again and said, "Smash him on his ass!"

Brick flew up with a "hoo" and hit Fang Chilong directly.Fang Chilong heard the movement behind him, knew that the hidden weapon was coming, and jumped to the side quickly.He didn't know that what he was encountering was Li Chishui's ultimate move, and this leap would be better than not leaping: because his feet were off the ground, the brick hit his ass hard, turning him over in mid-air, and poking his head straight down. He fell to the ground, smashed and fell, and he passed out.

Li Chishui ran close, squatted down to have a look, feeling a little frightened, and shouted, "Brother Chen, he's dead!"

Chen Zhao said: "He didn't die. He wanted to scold me, but I kicked him, and passed out. At most, he lost a few teeth."

His voice was calm and there was no need to shout, but the voice Li Chishui heard was very clear, as if he was speaking in his ear. Shuasi Li Chishui shouted anxiously: "I didn't say that about you, I said this about me! Why doesn't he move or speak?"

Chen Zhao asked, "Is he still breathing?"

Li Chishui shouted: "You wait for me to try...Brother Chen, he is still panting!"

Chen Zhaodao: "Since he's panting, he's still alive, not dead. Throw him against the wall so he won't get in the way!"

Li Chishui heard this, grabbed Fang Chilong's legs, dragged him to the wall, turned his head to look, but saw Xu Ting and Wu Xi fighting in the depths of the alley, it was a good time for him to learn martial arts, so he took his The prisoner forgot about it and moved closer to watch the battle.

Chen Zhao stayed at the entrance of the alley and did not leave.

After all, it was in broad daylight, and the alley was already crowded with passers-by. After a few minutes, I naturally didn't want anyone to come in, let alone Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers meddling in this time, so I drew a horizontal line on the ground. It seems that I can't see anything, and it is slowly dissipating.
