Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

A carriage stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion of Gelu City.

It did not cause much commotion when entering the city. On the contrary, not many people noticed it until the carriage entered the City Lord's Mansion.

But even the people in the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to neglect it, because each of the three people in the carriage had an extraordinary origin.

The man in charge of driving was a man wearing an iron mask. He was holding an iron chain instead of a rein. The iron chain extended to his back and locked a heavy black weapon. It was not so much a heavy sword as an irregular shape. It looked like the head of a meteor hammer covered with spikes.

Just by looking at this weapon, people in the martial arts world could recognize it... This person was nicknamed "Bu Ming". He was the deputy commander of the special organization "Hei Ya" of the Great Xia court. Not only was he in a high position, but he was also the world's number one divine detective and one of the top ten martial arts masters. He was the "Bu Kui".

The characteristic of Bu Ming that is known in the martial arts world is the iron chain he uses to arrest people and the meteor he uses to kill enemies.

He is from the imperial court.

The second person in the car is a beautiful woman. She looks old, but she still has charm, graceful figure, mature temperament, and a wine gourd and a sword without a sheath hanging on her waist. The sword is tied with a purple cloth bag.

This woman is called Changsun Ziyun. She is the daughter of the prime minister of Daxia two generations ago. Although she was born in a noble family, she left the Changsun family at the age of twelve and traveled for many years. She was in the martial arts world and had an engagement but did not fulfill it. She was canonized as a sword saint at the age of more than 40. Ten years later, she fought with the previous sword champion for ten days and nights.

It has been 27 years since she accepted the "abdication" of the previous sword champion and became the new sword champion.

Not long ago, Ziyun Lakeside was defeated by Huang Yanxia and gave up the position of sword champion.

But the Purple Cloud Sword Saint actually appeared in Gelu City, and was with the chief hunter beside her. This signal was different from the ordinary.

If she was still a pure Jianghu person, she would not accept the court's recruitment, but now that she has lost the title of Sword Master, it is not impossible for her to accept the royal family's offerings and live in the imperial capital.

Many top Jianghu masters began to retire after accepting the olive branch of the court.

And the third person who appeared next was the real heavyweight.

The latter was wearing a yellow python robe.

The housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion who came to meet him immediately changed his expression and bowed and saluted: "Meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

Yellow is the color of the royal family, and the python robe represents the prince. With such a noble status, he usually does not leave the capital except for the vassal state.

Moreover, everyone knows that the current prince and the second prince are brothers from the same mother, and they are only one year apart in age. The prince needs the second prince to assist in governing the country. If the former is the descendant of Zhongshan Jingwang who weaves straw sandals, then the latter is Zhuge Village Man who builds a thatched hut and cultivates the fields.

The second prince quickly supported the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion and said, "No need to do that, please get up quickly! This is not the imperial capital, there is no need for so many red tape... Is the imperial teacher here? If necessary, you can go and inform him, and the three of us can wait here for a while."

'Imperial teacher' is the royal family's honorific for Wuxian.

The previous emperor wanted to swear brotherhood with Wang Fuyue, but the latter refused, saying that it was impossible for a gangster to be brothers with the emperor, but he accepted the title of Daxia National Master. Even now that the emperor has his own ministers, he still enjoys the treatment of the imperial teacher.

The housekeeper said, "I will go and inform you now, please go to the living room."

Changsun Ziyun opened the wine gourd, took a sip, and said calmly, "Your Highness, the second prince, don't be so nervous. You also saw Wuxian himself when you were a child. He doesn't eat people."

"I'm just a little worried. I don't know how to talk about this today." The second prince sighed.

The three entered the city lord's mansion and came to the living room. They just happened to meet three people in the yard. A little girl was fishing for koi in the pond, a young man was dozing under a tree nearby, and a beautiful woman was wiping the blood off the axe blade.

The second prince's eyes lit up slightly. Although he had not been to Gelu City for many times, he knew all of Wuxian's disciples.

Wang Fuyue had five direct disciples in total, one of whom died young, leaving four.

The first disciple was the dozing young man, named Shen Shi. He debuted in the martial arts world ten years after Ziyun Sword Saint. He was famous for his boxing skills at first. After ten years, he changed to physical training, and after another ten years, he changed to leg training, and after another ten years, he changed to spear training, and then swordsmanship, swordsmanship... After nearly sixty years, he was proficient in almost all aspects of martial arts and got the nickname of Xiao Shikui.

However, people in the martial arts world believed that Shen Shi Shi was unlikely to succeed Wuxian.

The one who is qualified to take over is Wu Xian's third disciple, the woman who is wiping the weapon. Her name is Shen Xiruo, and she is Shen Shi's sister.

She takes a completely different route from her brother. She takes a single route, and the Xuanhua Axe she uses has 50% or 60% of Wu Xian's charm.

Her name is Xiruo, but she is not weak at all. When she swings the axe, she has a beauty of splitting Huashan Mountain. She was canonized three years ago.

It's just that she was unlucky. She met a mysterious master just after being canonized. After being seriously injured, she returned to Gelu City to recuperate for three years.

As for the girl... maybe she is the youngest disciple?

The second prince took the initiative to greet: "Meet Mr. Shen, Miss Shen."

Shen Xiruo raised her eyes, glanced at the prince, and then looked at the two people behind him, and said calmly: "The chief of the police and the Purple Cloud Sword Saint... It seems that this time is not just to celebrate my master's birthday."

Shen Shi was still dozing off and didn't say a word. In the comics, the snot in his nose was as big as his fist.

The second prince was not angry, and smiled gently: "We are here to give birthday gifts to the emperor, and we have also brought the emperor's imperial edict. However, whether the emperor agrees or not depends on his temper. ”

Shen Xi weakly nodded: "Master, he can make his own judgment."

The girl shook her head at the side and said: "The rivers and lakes belong to the rivers and lakes, and the court belongs to the court. There are some rules that cannot be messed up, not even when anyone comes, let alone when the emperor comes... Because the emperor is the person who cannot be willful in the world. , he has become willful, isn’t the world going to be in chaos?”

The captain frowned and looked at the girl who spoke a little old-fashionedly.

Ziyun Sword Master said curiously: "What this little girl says is interesting."

"These are the master's exact words." The girl raised her hand and said, "Bring it to me and see."

"what would you like?"

"Imperial edict, didn't you bring it with you?"

"But this is for the Imperial Master and his old man."

"Anyway, the master will burn it directly after reading it. Can you show me and touch it now?" The girl blinked.

The captain was about to say something when he saw the second prince taking out the imperial edict from his sleeve, handed it to the girl, and said gently: "It doesn't matter, just take it if you want. I've already memorized the content. I'll wait for you later." You might as well recite it to Master Di."

The girl happily took it, opened the bag on it, and then spread it out. She lifted it up and looked left and right, with a bitter look on her face: "Senior sister..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiruo raised his head.

"I can't read fully."

"I'll teach you." Ziyun Sword Master felt affectionate, hugged the girl and began to read each word.

The other people nearby did not speak, and listened silently to the girl's crisp voice reciting the contents of the imperial edict until she finished...

Shen Shi, who was dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Why did the emperor kill Huang Qiyun?"

"I don't know." The second prince touched his eyebrows and said, "I am also very confused about it, but my father said that when the emperor knows about this, he will naturally understand."

"To deal with Huang Qiyun, we have to deal with the young master named Bai." Shen Xiruo asked: "It was mentioned in the commentary that he had dealt with Yang Zheng, but you didn't ask him?"

"Yang Zheng is the general manager of the palace and is not very familiar with us. He is considered to be from Ninth Sister." The second prince shook his head and said, "Besides, how can we let her know about this?"

"You didn't even understand the enemy's strength, so you came here rashly?" Shen Xiruo asked narrowly: "Should I praise you for being brave and foolhardy, or for being bold?"

"As long as the emperor nods, this matter will not be difficult." The second prince said boldly: "With so many masters present, can't they kill even one Huang Qiyun?"

"Hmph, that's your business, I didn't agree to it." Shen Xiruo lowered his head and continued to wipe the axe: "My axe never kills lovers... Bai and Huang are lovers in the world, I won't go there It’s so tasteless to do this kind of thing.”

"This matter has nothing to do with taste." Quan Ming argued: "Your Majesty's move is for the sake of the people of the world. It is by no means a favoritism and perverting the law, but it is a last resort."

"You know a lot." Shen Xiruo asked, "Tell me, what's the reason?"

The captain remained silent.

"What about you?" Shen Xiruo looked at Ziyun Sword Master again: "Is your previous generation of sword master also here to join in the fun?"

Ziyun Sword Master closed the imperial edict and put it down, and said calmly: "I am now a member of the royal family. Isn't it natural to do something with the treatment?"

"It's just an offering. I thought you wanted the old cow to eat young grass. Which prince do you have your eye on?" Shen Xi sarcastically said, taking the second prince with her.

"Miss Shen doesn't know the whole story, so it's better not to jump to conclusions." The second prince still had a good temper and smiled tepidly: "Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Although we are here to discuss how to Killing people and silencing them is not necessarily for selfish gain.”

"Is there any reason why Huang Qiyun has to die?" Shen Xiruo was dissatisfied: "When did this world get to the point where ordinary women are no longer allowed to live?"

"She is not an ordinary woman...she is a female evil spirit."

Suddenly, a powerful voice came from the tree.

Shen Shi immediately jumped up from the tree with a catapult, and respectfully saluted a parrot on the trunk: "I've seen the master, I didn't expect you to be listening all the time."

"I have met the Imperial Master!" The second prince also quietly looked at the budgerigar.

The parrot opened its mouth and made a sound: "It is not convenient for me to see guests now, so I will use spirit beasts to transmit messages instead... I have also read the content of the imperial edict, and I understand the concerns of the emperor's young boy. When the late emperor was here, we had an appointment. First, now is also the time to fulfill our promise.”

The second prince said calmly: "So the emperor agreed?"

Wu Xian continued: "I will cooperate with the royal family in the matter of killing Huang Qiyun, but how to kill her is up to you."

The parrot stepped on the branch and turned his back to the moonlight: "If the few people you brought are not enough, I can lend you a disciple, as long as you can convince them, or you can convince other Wu Kui. "

"Understood."

The second prince memorized this sentence carefully. He was very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to serve as an adviser to his brother the prince without being feared.

Wang Shuyue's meaning was obvious. Killing Huang Qiyun was a matter for the royal family, so he would not attack Huang Qiyun directly, but would create opportunities for the royal family to do it themselves.

No one knew why Wu Xian had to go through such a big circle, and no one dared to ask.

Meanwhile the parrot's words continued.

"The only thing I ask of you is..."

"Master Emperor, please speak."

"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it only happens once. Whether it is successful or not, it ends here."

"I remember." The second prince bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Emperor."

"Your neither arrogant nor impetuous temperament is a good match for your elder brother."

"Master, this disciple has something unclear!" Shen Xiruo asked, "Who is Nuxie?"

"You don't need to know. If you're curious, just ask Xu Ergou."

The parrot flutters its wings and flies away.

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief: "Not seeing his person but hearing his voice is also very stressful."

"Wuxian agreed, which is a good thing, but if we are the only ones dealing with Huang Qiyun, I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Ziyun Sword Master said, "Should we find more helpers?"

"Fortunately, there must be many martial commanders gathering here in Gelu City today. Maybe..." The second prince looked at Ziyun Sword Master and asked tentatively: "I heard that senior eldest grandson has a good relationship with the current sword master?"

"I can give it a try." Changsun Ziyun did not refuse, but just made a gesture: "But in terms of reward, His Highness needs to be generous."

"Definitely..."

On the other side.

"Who is Xu Ergou?" The girl pulled Shen Shi's sleeve curiously.

"It's your second senior brother's name."

"Second senior brother?" the girl asked strangely: "Isn't he gone long ago?"

"He is missing, not dead." Shen Shi shook his head: "He is still alive, but he left Gelu City. This time the master celebrates his birthday, he should come back."

"What does the second senior brother do?"

"He is a lackey." Shen Xiruo picked up the ax and dipped it into the pool water, and a bloody red appeared in the water: "Next time I see him, I must reward him with an axe!"

While several people were talking.

The housekeeper walked in: "Master Shen, Miss Shen... something happened in the city. There was a conflict between the Zhou family in Xihai and the Wu family in Jiangdong in the restaurant. There is a tendency for the two sides to get angry. Shouldn't we stop it?"

Shen Shi lay down on the chair decisively: "I have something important to discuss with the second prince. I'd better leave this matter to my weak sister who is as strong as a weak willow supporting the wind, and can destroy a city or a stronghold at every move."

Shen Xiruo spat: "You are so lazy!"

She picked up the Xuanhua ax and said calmly: "We started fighting before we even got the spear leader... Uncle Fu, lead the way, I'll go and break up the fight."

Shen Shi shouted from a distance to his sister's back: "Remember not to demolish the whole street."

"What a shame! Don't worry, you can do it yourself!"

The City Lord's Mansion also became quiet after Shen Xiruo left.

After a while, Shen Shi opened his eyes: "I didn't even say a word when I came back."

The figure in black robe walked out of the darkness and took off his mask: "I've seen Senior Brother."

"You can't help it... the master has already kicked you out of the school." Shen Shi shook his head: "Just call me Brother Shen. I don't want to be scolded by the master."

"You're still as lazy as ever."

"Lazy people are blessed, not as good as you..." Shen Shi raised his chin and asked, "So, are you here to wish the teacher a happy birthday, or are you here because you heard the news about the evil woman?"

"Both." Xu Ergou sat down on the chair next to him, with the edge of a dark long bow exposed between his robes.

"Do you need me to introduce you to the second prince later?"

"No need, I will hide in the dark and take action when necessary."

"insidious."

"The bowman doesn't care about means, but he only wants to eliminate demons and do his best."

"Are female evil spirits also demons?"

"Not a demon, but better than a demon."

…

Restaurant.

Bai Yu and Huang Qiyun were eating and drinking while watching others fighting. The meal was quite satisfying.

Humans are creatures that like to watch fun. Even if two cats fight each other on the roadside, more than a dozen people would take out their mobile phones to take a video.

Not to mention this rare scene of group fighting.

It is actually not uncommon in this world, but for people in later generations, if you want to see this kind of scene, you can usually only see it in a movie theater.

At first, the Wu family and the Zhou family agreed to challenge each other.

As a result, the fight turned into a group fight.

The Wu family said that the Zhou family did not follow martial ethics and actually secretly swallowed pills to increase their strength; the Zhou family angrily complained that the Wu family did not follow the rules and used dirty tricks.

Neither party could convince the other, and it turned into a melee, with the entire first floor being smashed into a mess.

The shopkeeper ran to Bai Yu with several jars of wine in his hand: "It's for you."

"Does this cost money?"

"No! It's a waste to stay down there anyway. It's a waste if it gets damaged!" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a sip of wine himself: "One more sip is a sip!"

The shopkeeper, who was drinking tons and tons of drinks, was half full after a while.

In a restaurant, the price of drinks is actually much more expensive than the price of food. Most of the profits come from the wine, so the broken wine jar is the most distressing thing, followed by the tables and chairs.

It happened that this group of people in the world used the wine jar as a throwing weapon. When a jar was smashed, it was worth dozens of taels of silver, which made the shopkeeper feel distressed.

The two sides were fighting at a stalemate...but with so many people fighting, accidents would definitely happen.

One of the Zhou family members was pierced in the lungs by a fragment, and immediately suffered massive arterial bleeding. Although the injury was stopped and did not lead to death, it also added fuel to the already heated atmosphere at the scene.

In the middle of the fight, a member of the Wu family had his leg broken.

The scene became so heated that it was impossible to stop. They were all excited... It was like splashing water on each other, and they ended up getting red. One of them directly pressed the other into a puddle and wanted to drown the other.

Seeing the blood and weapons at the scene, Bai Yu frowned slightly, and felt that the wine became a little harder to swallow.

On the first floor, Wu Zhengtang looked at the Wu family members whose bones were broken, his face was extremely ugly, and he took out the gun head and fixed it on the long stick, aiming at the Zhou family in front: "You have done such a cruel thing, you want to fight to the death? Come and try!"

Zhou Haofang sneered: "Come on! I am not afraid of you, take my gun!"

On the third floor, the Zhou family threw down a big gun, and the two long guns immediately fought together like poisonous snakes and dragons.

Both of them have good spear skills, close to the master level, but they are too young, not yet at the fourth level, both are in the late third level.

In terms of the basic skills of spearmanship, Wu Zhengtang was obviously better. Zhou Haofang immediately picked up his spear and started to fight, picking up a table and smashing it at Wu Zhengtang.

Wu Zhengtang shot through the tabletop with one shot, tearing the tablecloth with it, but he lost sight of Zhou Haofang. Someone behind him shouted to be careful, and when he looked up, he saw that the other party had already jumped up, raised his spear and smashed it down. The rolling energy was like rolling up the flowing water in the broken wine jar, like smashing down a vicious dragon in the water.

Wu Zhengtang did not take this move head-on, but jumped back several times in a row to avoid it.

Zhou Haofang thought that he had forced the other party into a desperate situation, so he shot in the air one after another, gaining the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengtang hid in a corner. When it seemed that he could not avoid it, he suddenly turned around and looked back. He used an extremely beautiful back-to-back spear and raised the spear, as if an angry dragon pierced his heart. The powerful energy dispersed the evil dragon formed by the condensation of water vapor and fell on Zhou Haofang's chest.

If it hits, he will have to lie down for at least one or two months.

However, at this time, a huge force surged from Zhou Haofang's body, and the force of the spear increased directly, covering Wu Zhengtang's counterattack, and instead pressed him to half kneel on the ground, soaked by the wine and water, and blood oozing out of his acupoints.

After Zhou Haofang landed, although he was still in shock, he laughed and pointed the tip of his spear at the Wu family: "The Wu family's spearmanship is just so-so! You lost. According to the rules, you should shout 'Even dogs don't practice the Wu family's spearmanship' and get out of here!"

Wu Zhengtang raised his eyes. He was very sure that the new force Zhou Haofang had just used did not belong to him.

"Why, can't you afford to lose!" Zhou Haofang laughed.

"You are so shameless to claim to be the winner by pretending to be an outside force!"

A voice suddenly came from the second floor. Huang Qiyun held a wine glass in his hand and frowned: "I have lost the interest in drinking. It's really unlucky."

Hearing this revelation, Zhou Haofang looked at the second floor with a bad face: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

Huang Qiyun pointed out directly: "The person who helps you remotely is upstairs. Are you afraid to let him show up?"

Zhou Haofang narrowed his eyes: "It seems that you are determined to make trouble for my Zhou family."

"Zhou family? Is it very powerful?" Huang Qiyun took a sip of wine: "I haven't heard much about it. I don't think he is a good person with this bullying attitude. But the Wu family leader... is a fair and responsible person. A man. "

Wu Zhengtang's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, lady, for your righteous words... But this matter has nothing to do with you two, please leave, don't get involved!"

Bai Yu saw his excited reaction and asked curiously: "What is your relationship with the Wu family spear leader?"

"It's my uncle." Wu Zhengtang responded: "Do you two know my uncle?"

"Enough!" Zhou Haofang smashed the spear: "If you want to reminisce, get out and reminisce! You two are really too much of an eyesore, either get out, or..."

Wu Zhengtang stood up suddenly, forcibly suppressed the bloody taste in his throat, and said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, I haven't lost yet!"

The true energy in his body suddenly flowed in the opposite direction. This move is called "reverse current", which is a big move in the Wu family's martial arts.

After using it, it can quickly improve physical fitness in a short period of time. His arms swelled a little, covered with blue veins and blood vessels, and burst out with a terrifying force.

Zhou Haofang was shocked and hurriedly used a move called "Dragon Out of the Sea" to deal with it.

However, the gap between the two sides was obvious.

Wu Zhengtang's move against the current was extremely domineering, hurting himself before hurting others, so he couldn't take it head-on.

Zhou Haofang was about to be hit by a gun and fell to the ground. Another wave of energy came from upstairs. He was happy and was about to use the same trick again.

At this time, he heard a light "da".

Bai Yu on the second floor put the wine glass on the table, and the energy was immediately cut off.

Zhou Haofang had no power to resist and was directly hit and flew more than ten meters away. He lay on the broken wooden floor and fainted after struggling for a few times.

The Zhou family members hurriedly surrounded him.

At this time, the people who were secretly watching the battle upstairs could no longer sit still.

Wu Zhengtang only felt the long spear in his hand tremble, and the next moment he couldn't hold the weapon at all and it fell out of his hand. He also fell back and was caught by the Wu family members.

There was a middle-aged man in the lobby on the first floor. No one saw when he arrived, but everyone in the lobby could feel the invisible pressure from him. They felt a little shorter and felt a sense of inferiority like an ant looking up at a giant.

"Young man of the Wu family, you have crossed the line." The middle-aged man said, "You should have just admitted defeat and left."

Blood was flowing from Wu Zhengtang's nose, and he raised his head unconvincedly and said, "Bullying the weak is the ability of the Zhou family in Xihai!"

"Your Wu family has lost the spear leader, so don't blame others for not giving you some face." The middle-aged man looked down at him, "I wanted to drive you out and end it now, but you were too fierce. I should discipline you on behalf of your elders. I will cut off one of your hands first to set an example."

If you cut off one hand, basically 80% of your martial arts will be abolished. How can you hold a gun without two hands?

Wu Zhengtang couldn't resist, because the difference in cultivation was too big. He stared at the weapon on the middle-aged man's waist and shouted, "If you want my hand, you can just draw your sword! Let the world know that you, the sword leader of the Zhou family, actually did this to me, a descendant!"

The sword leader of the Zhou family said lightly, "You are not qualified to let me draw this 'crossing the river soldier'."

Wu Zhengtang almost closed his eyes in despair.

But the next moment, the sword leader of the Zhou family stopped moving.

He stood there, his eyes revealing an unbelievable look.

A knife pressed on the back of his hand, stopping his movements.

But, if that was all, the Knife Master would not have stood there frozen.

The truly terrifying thing was... the knife that pressed on the back of Knife Master's hand was his own sword.

Knife Master, one of the ten martial arts masters, actually had his sword taken away?

If this were spread out, it would surely become a joke for the world!

But Knife Master could not laugh, he just felt horrified, because he did not realize when... his sword was taken away!

That might have been a ten-thousandth of a second, or even shorter!

Who exactly was the young man in front of him?

Knife Master had noticed the two people in the corner before, he had planned to deal with this side before meeting the other side, but now he realized that he had hit a wall!

The handsome young man in blue looked down at the knife, then raised his eyes and looked at Knife Master.

His movements were slow and calm, and after observing for a few seconds, his eyes revealed a bit of boredom.

In the silence of the restaurant, he asked a question.

"Is this sword worthy of being called 'Crossing the River Soldier'?"

Before the sword master's face turned pale, he asked a second question in the stunned expressions of the Zhou and Wu families.

"You, are you worthy of being the sword master?"
