Shuoyun Feidu

The middle-aged man put one hand on the position slightly lower than the right shoulder well, and laughed loudly: "...At the beginning, the sword returned without success, the king of Chu was lucky!"

As soon as the words fell, there was only the sound of swords being unsheathed several times, and the sound of swords being unsheathed immediately resounded in the cave. The weapon next to it jumped up from the ground, and they quickly turned into a character shape, completely blocking Beitang Rongdu and Beitang Jiaqi in his arms, completely isolated from the middle-aged man. Come on, at the same time, the left arms of these seven people have stretched out evenly, revealing the sleeve arrows installed on the forearms, and the ports are firmly aimed at the middle-aged man not far away. The first-class masters made the fastest reaction in just one breath.

The cave was extremely quiet, only the crackling sound of burning firewood. Facing such a situation, the middle-aged man did not show any strange expression on his sallow face. He was full of smiles, and there was an indescribably weird aura all over his body. He obviously regarded these guards as nothing, even as indifferently as if he was looking at a group of dead people, and he didn't pay attention at all. Beitang Rong Du's right eyelid twitched slightly, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to touch Beitang Jiaqi's acupoints in his bosom, causing her to fall asleep. He hugged his daughter tightly with one hand, then slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of deep eyes, There was no expression on his face, he just passed his eyes over the guards in front of him, and looked at the middle-aged man quietly from the gap in the crowd. The man was surrounded by guards at this time, but his expression was extremely relaxed. As comfortable as a spring breeze, like a lion surrounded by sheep.

"...all step back." Beitang Rongdu said suddenly. When he spoke, a sense of majesty emerged from the sky. As he spoke, he stared intently at the middle-aged man through the guards in front of him. After hearing this, the seven guards immediately stepped aside slightly, but their spirits were still highly concentrated on guard. Beitang Rongdu still maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged, looking at the man not far away, with an indescribable expression on the corner of his mouth. With a sharp line, but a very calm voice, he said lightly: "...Oh? Your Excellency is the one who wanted to kill the king..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the middle-aged man, and stroked his chest subconsciously with one hand. On the top of Zhongbeitang Jiaqi's head, there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips, and he seemed to have three points of regret, and he said slowly: "...Your Excellency used a sword to kill this king last time, but fortunately, this king is still alive. There is a life-saving hole card in hand, but it has left a little memory for you, but unfortunately, it didn't hit the nail on the head."

The middle-aged man remained motionless, with a calm and serene expression on his face. He lightly touched the ancient sword beside him with his right hand, but looked out of the cave. When I came to the cave, the sword hadn’t been sheathed yet, and it was full of antiquity. I don’t know what kind of animal skin the scabbard was made of. It might look like shark skin, dark gray to grayish white, with scales on the surface. , the whole sword was originally leaning against the cave wall, which was inconspicuous, but when the middle-aged man touched it with his hand, it immediately changed its appearance, exuding a faint momentum and sense of oppression, which made people notice. Suddenly, my heart couldn't help but tremble, and I had a trance illusion, as if there was a thick bloody air blowing towards my face, as if under this sword, killing people was as easy as eating and drinking... The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth was slightly pulled, and a steady and slender hand slowly stroked the scabbard, and he said with a smile: "That's right, I had already planned that time, but it's a pity that the king of Chu is really cautious and never forgets." It's my own miscalculation to save myself a backhand... The prince is not easy."

Beitang Rongdu caressed his daughter's soft hair, and slowly opened his eyes that had been squinting slightly. His eyes were born long and narrow, and they were somewhat similar to peach-blossom eyes, so they looked easy to give people With the illusion of gentleness, even the gloomy gaze that had cooled down at this moment did not look particularly abrupt, Beitang Rongdu looked at the middle-aged man, suddenly smiled, and said casually: "When I met Your Excellency last time, I remember that your Excellency is not like this, and I don't know which one is the real face, or are both fake?" The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and with his right hand wiped his face, he took off a thin sheet of paper. The human skin mask like a cicada's wings reveals another yellowish face. The lines of the face are very rough, but the chin is round and round. It is clean without any beard or stubble. The whole face is twisted. There is a touch of softness, so when combined, there is a hint of elegance in the ordinary features, a bit like a scribe, unremarkable, it is the person who assassinated Beitang Rongdu, Beitang Rongdu saw He just smiled, his eyes turned flat, and said: "...Your Excellency is extraordinary in martial arts. Last time, this king almost died by the sword, but I don't know Mr. Gao's name?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter what my surname is. Beitang Rongdu, you and your father Beitang Zunyue's enemies are probably too numerous to count. What's so strange, your father and son and I are enemies and not friends, but last time it was a pity that I never fought against you seriously." As he said this, the man's eyes suddenly became much sharper, even though they were separated by a certain distance, Bei Even Tang Rongdu could still clearly feel the coldness and bitterness in it. Seeing this scene, Beitang Rongdu's face changed slightly. I am very impressed, he is really an extremely difficult opponent, his martial arts is high, and he may not be inferior to him. Today, this person deliberately meets with his party, so he is naturally confident, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with, not to mention that he has to deal with it now. Distracted from taking care of his daughter, Beitang Jiaqi... Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Beitang Rongdu's eyes, and a killing intent from the bottom of his heart slowly flowed through his blood. The longing of this person appeared in his heart for no reason. He smiled softly, but the muscles of his whole body were already tense, and he looked ready to go, which could guarantee the fastest reaction at any moment: "At this moment It was raining heavily outside, but this king suddenly wanted to draw his sword and strike, killing people with blood..."

Beitang Rongdu said, his eyes narrowed slightly, the light that shot out from inside was as cold and slippery as a snake, he glanced at the middle-aged man, and the two just looked at each other quietly, the middle-aged man His gaze was as clear as water, and seemed to be in a state of indifference to the world, but there was a sharp aura subtler than the tip of a needle hidden in it, while Beitang Rongdu's gaze was already naked and unparalleled, with an unmistakable The murderous intent was concealed, and the seven guards who had been on guard all the time were watching the tiger for a long time, holding the weapon tightly in one hand, and ready to launch the poisonous sleeve arrow at any time with the other. He heard Beitang Rongdu smile heavily and said: When we meet, we naturally have to see Your Excellency's clever tricks, otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity?"

After Beitang Rongdu finished speaking, there was a faint color in his eyes, which condensed into dots of gloomy light in his blue eyes. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but did not speak. The hand that was caressing the blade of the sword suddenly moved. He took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms, but began to carefully wipe the hilt of his sword instead. That hand was as stable as a thousand-year-old rock, and at the same time it was terrifyingly calm and calm. The expressions of the seven guards suddenly changed, and they could clearly feel that although the cave was lit at this time, there was still a deep chill coming out of nowhere, making the hairs on the surface of the skin tremble. Wei Wei stood up, but at this moment, the middle-aged man stopped wiping the sword, moved his right hand, and the handkerchief disappeared, and both hands were casually placed on his lap again.

The pressure in the cave disappeared in an instant, and the seven guards immediately relaxed, and let out a breath of foul air secretly, but at this moment, the ancient sword that was still standing on the cave wall suddenly trembled almost imperceptibly. The long sword body began to tremble slightly, and actually made a buzzing sound!The sound became louder and louder, and there was the sound of sword cries coming from the scabbard, one sound after another, and the guards only felt that their ears and tympanic membranes were starting to feel numb, but at this time, everyone had no intention of going. Paying attention to this, I just looked at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in horror, his color changed almost at the same time, all eyes were attracted to the man's steady and powerful palm, the back of his spine felt cold, and he saw the middle-aged man His eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at the pair of slender hands on his lap. The five fingers of his right hand pinched out a strange sword formula. It gradually became smaller and made a deep dragon chant sound, but the blade of the sword was pulled out without anyone pulling it out, amidst the buzzing sound, it slowly came out by itself, a cold and bloodthirsty sword Yes, the icy cold sword energy that does not seem to exist in the human world, radiates out together with the movement of the sword body moving out, and with the sword hilt rising bit by bit, revealing a section of the bright sword body , Under the light of the fire, there was a dazzling cold light. Beitang Rongdu witnessed all this, his face changed slightly, and he became dignified, but then a sneer flashed in his eyes, just looking at this In one scene, he knew that what this person did was nothing more than to show his own strength, and it was just a means to intimidate the enemy.

Everyone in the cave was silent, the middle-aged man lowered his eyes slightly, his five fingers were still pinching the sword formula, and there was a faint energy between his fingers, but at this moment, half of the ancient sword had been drawn out automatically, but it did not continue to go out. Pulling it out, only half stopped in the scabbard, trembling slightly, Beitang Rongdu didn't say a word, just looked at it like that, after an indeterminate amount of time, he suddenly sighed softly, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "... Yujianshu? "After Beitang Rongdu finished speaking these three words, his expression also became serious, with a just right smile on his face, he said leisurely: "...Your Excellency's sword skills are already at the pinnacle in this world, I'm afraid It is the rebirth of the sword god Lu Xueren from back then, and he is not as good as your Excellency."

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man just smiled, but didn't speak, but the sword body that had stopped halfway began to slowly continue to be drawn out while Beitang Rongdu was speaking, and the sharp blade surface reflected There was a trace of chilly reflection, extremely cold and penetrating. Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu casually hugged Beitang Jiaqi in his arms with his left hand, but the corners of his thin mouth turned up slightly, staring at the middle-aged man. Ren, laughed in a low voice: "Sword control...Your Excellency's cultivation is really unpredictable, but this king is more interested in seeing Lie Xinxi..." After saying this, Beitang Rongdu He jumped up suddenly, his whole body was like lightning, and at a speed that could not be seen clearly by the naked eye, he stepped forward in an instant, punched out of thin air from top to bottom, and smashed towards the ancient sword Xuxu , while Beitang Jiaqi, who was drowsy in his arms, was accurately thrown behind him, and landed in the arms of a guard. Rong Du's fist burst out, and he rushed forward in an instant, hitting the slowly rising hilt hard, only to hear a "clang clang", and the ancient sword was smashed back by Beitang Rongdu's fist Putting it into the scabbard, the sound of dragon chant suddenly disappeared!

Beitang Rongdu succeeded in one move, without even thinking about it, and without pausing at all, he suddenly took another step forward, stretched out his hand, in a continuous motion, five slightly long nails pierced straight, like five sharp Like a small knife, it stabbed straight at the position below the middle-aged man's ears. The move was extremely vicious. This part of the human body is considered a relatively fragile vital point. The meat, even the head can be ripped off directly, the technique is really exquisite and cruel, it is only in this move, which fully demonstrated the strength of the top master, the middle-aged man faced Beitang Rongdu's attack, Unexpectedly, he did not dodge at all, the hand that was holding the sword formula suddenly twisted into a spiral shape, forming a hammer shape, and when the chest was raised horizontally, it was lightly punched out, hitting Beitang Rongdu's chest head-on, this move looked It seemed that there was no strength at all, but the strong wind caused Beitang Rongdu's black hair to fly wildly. This move was very simple, but it was clearly a way of hurting both sides, even if Beitang Rongdu threw him off. his head, but his own heart will definitely be beaten into a pulp. The middle-aged man made it clear that he had accurately grasped Beitang Rongdu's psychology, knowing that Beitang Rongdu would definitely not want to die with himself like this Change lives.

Sure enough, Beitang Rongdu cherished his life very much, he was not willing to risk his own safety, his pupils shrank slightly, his stabbing right hand bent down at the same time, turned slightly half a circle, and directly circled back skillfully, his arm like The knife drew out a graceful arc, and suddenly it was a horizontal bar. Only a dull sound was heard. The middle-aged man's fist and hammer collided with Beitang Rongdu's arm fiercely. The force of this blow was extremely violent. , and directly swung each other's hands away, both of them shook their whole bodies immediately, as if struck by lightning, their muscles and bones were numb from the shock, each other's hearts trembled secretly, knowing that they had met an opponent, but the two of them were very friendly As if he didn't care at all, his moves changed instantly, and Beitang Rongdu's arms suddenly became limp and boneless, twisting and trembling forward, as if fluttering like catkins with the wind, or like a python, entangled towards The opponent's arm was clearly the charm of a light boat that had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. At the same time, the other hand was already palmed like a knife. It suddenly flashed out and directly stabbed the opponent's armpit, with the strength piercing through the heart. If one is not good, it will To be crushed by him!

The middle-aged man smiled, his elbows fell and turned in an unbelievable posture, his hands were pointed together into swords, and his fingertips even showed a faint edge, and he lightly touched Beitang Rongdu's wrist. When he hits it, both wrists must be severed. This person's martial arts is so high that he has already broken away from the category of weapons. Whether he has a sword or no sword, it is no different to him, it has reached an extreme!

There was the sound of heavy rain outside, but strong winds were howling in the cave, and only two figures could be seen wrestling together, one blue and one blue. When they got up, it was only a short time of three or five breaths, and the other people present didn't even see clearly that the fight was over. Beitang Rongdu's expression was slightly solemn, but a trace of With a cold smile, during the fight just now, he could already feel that this middle-aged man did not have the willful idea of ​​killing himself, so he just said indifferently: "Your Excellency is good at work..." Hearing this, the middle-aged man said, With a low laugh, he casually copied with one hand, picked up the ancient sword, hung it back on his waist, and said indifferently: "Beitang Rongdu, you are indeed a martial arts prodigy. With this level of cultivation, you are on par with me, even if I want to kill you, I probably won't be able to do it..." After the man finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Beitang Rongdu calmly, With a half-smile on his face, he said calmly: "...Let's say goodbye today, and we will meet again next time." Before he finished speaking, he had already drifted away, walked out of the cave, and entered the rain curtain. I was walking slowly, but that step seemed to be a long way away. Facing the heavy rain, it gradually drifted away, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The middle-aged man walked against the heavy rain, but he seemed to be completely unaffected, with a calm expression, one hand on the hilt of the sword, and suddenly sneered: "Han Yan, you asked me not to harm him before, but now It seems that this Beitang Rongdu is indeed not Yi Yu's generation, but... Hehe, he is a ruthless and cold person, how can he be worthy of you?" The man said, his expression turned cold, but his figure disappeared. In the rain.

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Beitang Rongdu had an unsteady expression on his face, he seemed a little puzzled and a bit awe-inspiring, but now that the matter was over, there was no need to think about it, so he took Beitang Jiaqi from the guards, I sat down again in front of the fire and waited patiently for the rain to stop.

I don't know how long it took, but the heavy rain outside finally had the momentum to gradually decrease. When it was getting dark, the rain had completely stopped. Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu hugged Beitang who was still sleeping in his arms. On Jiaqi, he took the guards out of the cave, mounted his horse and returned to the east of the city.

There were already people waiting outside the dormitory, and from a distance they saw a soft car slowly approaching, a dozen or so eunuchs hurried forward with whisks in their hands, and saw a young man in a brocade robe coming down from the soft car, hugging Holding a little girl, who seemed to be asleep, an eunuch whispered: "... the lord wants to send the imperial doctor?" Beitang Rongdu looked down at Beitang Jiaqi in his arms, nodded and said: "Call a Come here." At that moment, he carried the sleeping child into the inner hall and ordered someone to cook ginger soup. Not long after, the imperial physician arrived and was waiting outside. Although Beitang Jiaqi didn't get rained today, but because of the young Therefore, it is better to be careful after all, so Beitang Rongdu let the imperial physician in, took the pulse of Beitang Jiaqi, and then prescribed a warm and nourishing prescription, fried a thick bowl for Beitang Jiaqi to drink, Only then did people send their daughter back to Qionghua Palace.

Beitang Rongdu woke up in the early morning of the next day. The faint morning light leaked in through the jade-colored window screens, weaving shallow spots on the ground. Beitang Rongdu had just finished washing and was sitting in front of the round mirror under the window. A little eunuch came in lightly, lowered his hand and said: "...My lord, the security guard is already waiting outside." Beitang Rongdu picked up a yellow poplar jade wrench, put it on his thumb, and said lightly: "... He came in to talk."

Not long after, a red-robed eunuch entered the hall and asked for peace: "The slave has seen the master." Beitang Rongdu nodded casually, took a comb, combed his hair slowly, and pushed open the window with one hand. The middle man's eyes were deep, like a bottomless pool. Outside the hall, a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, and the shadows of the flowers filled the window screens. He only heard the eunuch An An say: "Your Majesty, when your concubine is about to give birth, It's just a few days away."

Beitang Rongdu was lying halfway in front of the mirror, carefully observing the small scar left behind his ear by the middle-aged man yesterday. Picked some ointment from a small jade bottle on the table, dabbed it on the wound finely, said: "So it's time so early..." Eunuch An stepped forward to take the comb, and gently combed Beitang Rongdu's hair , smiled knowingly, and said: "... Whoever thinks he is favored, has something in his heart that should not be calculated, but forgets that the prince is there, who can turn the sky around? It is really a miscalculation." Beitang Rongdu didn't say a word, just cast his eyes out of the window, and saw swan geese coming and going in the clear sky after the rain, and the clouds were blooming, which looked extraordinarily clear and clear, and it seemed to make people feel refreshed for no reason... Beitang Rongdu went back Suddenly, his eyes were as faint as floating dust, he tapped the table with his fingers a few times, and said: "Since this is the case, you should be ready for the things you should do."

Eunuch An tightly squeezed the jade comb in his hand, combed Beitang Rongdu's thick black hair carefully, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this servant has already prepared properly, and there will be no mistakes." He said Then, he carefully glanced at Beitang Rongdu's expression in the mirror, and whispered cautiously: "It's just that I don't know about one thing..." Beitang Rongdu wiped the medicine, and took the towel next to him to wipe it off. Hand: "You say."

Eunuch An moved his hands very neatly. He combed a large amount of hair to be smooth and smooth, and tied a simple homely bun for Beitang Rongdu. He took a black jade hairpin and put it on. "Since the lord doesn't like your concubine Yu, why do you want to keep her child? It's better to have a difficult delivery, and the mother and the child are not kept together, so as not to leave future troubles, it is a clean way... These are all slaves." I don’t know my lord…” Eunuch An said, seeing that Beitang Rongdu didn’t seem to have any displeasure, he felt relieved and continued in an uncertain tone: “Today, the lord left behind your concubine’s child, It's fine if it's an emperor concubine, but if it's a prince, if there is any mistake in the future, I'm afraid it will be troublesome, so what should the prince do then? According to this servant, this child is definitely not allowed to stay."

After hearing these words, Beitang Rongdu lowered his eyelids slightly, put one hand on his cheek, and looked into the distance through the window. After a while, he said in a soft and deep voice: "Anyway, this is after all. They are the royal father's own flesh and blood, and this king's siblings... Besides, it is always unbearable to judge others by oneself. This king is also a person with children. The blood of the Beitang family, the father and his children." Eunuch An followed Beitang Rongdu's gaze, and saw a snow-white swan leading a few little swans leisurely on the lake in the distance. Shui, Eunuch An seemed to know about it, so he didn't speak out to persuade him anymore. After a while, Beitang Rongdu stood up, put on an ivory-white robe with cold blue embroidered edges, waved his hands and said, "Go back, then Don't make any mistakes in your business."

Today was the first day in September, and it was scorchingly hot. Beitang Rongdu had breakfast and dealt with business, so he brought Beitang Jiaqi into the palace.

Qianying Palace is the dignified bedroom of Beitang. Not only is it resplendent and magnificent, but it is also elegant and comfortable. The surrounding flowers and trees are lush and full of dark green colors. Several maids are tending the flowers and plants with various tools. Holding the hands of Beitang Rongdu, they got off the soft chariot together, and walked in bouncingly. A group of eunuchs greeted them, and one of them was Lu Xing. When he saw the two of them, he immediately smiled happily and said, "My lord and Why did the little princess come so early in the morning? The emperor must like it very much when he sees it." As he spoke, he respectfully led the father and daughter in. Looking at the shark gauze tents held up by golden hooks with tassels, overlapping, the silence was almost solemn. Lu Xing led the two of them to a vermilion gate at the end. Beitang Jiaqi broke away from his father's hand and carefully stepped through He ran towards the high threshold, giggling and calling: "...Grandpa, where are you? Luer is here!"

The hall is wide open, and the north and south windows are wide open. Behind the beaded curtains, Beitang Zunyue is standing under the south window in a ginger-colored tuanlong uniform, reading a booklet in his hand. There was a stack of official documents spread out, and a young eunuch was standing by the desk grinding ink, Beitang Zun heard footsteps, and before he put down the memorial in his hand, Beitang Jiaqi ran over with a smile, stepped forward and grabbed Beitang affectionately. With the hem of Tang Zunyue's clothes, he raised his head and said coquettishly: "Grandfather, it's so hot outside..." Bei Tang Zunyue smiled softly, with a little kindness on his face, and said: "...Since it's so hot, why not Come here." Beitang Jiaqi hugged the man's leg, and said crisply: "But I miss you."

Beitang Jiaqi is not yet four years old, she is at her most innocent and lovely age, she is petite and delicate, she has two dimples when she smiles, and she has a sweet mouth. Shaved Beitang Jiaqi's delicate cheeks, and was about to lean over to hug her when he saw a young man in a white robe slowly walking in, his black hair was smooth and tied up in a bun, nothing messy, only A thin black hosta was inserted in the topknot, and the breeze from outside the window gently lifted the corner of his clothes, flowing like a fairy, when Beitang Zun saw him, his heart moved slightly, but his tone was ordinary "...Why did you bring Jiaqi to me so early today?"

Beitang Rongdu looked at Beitang Zunyue flatly, and murmured silently in his heart, full of tenderness, but only a very peaceful smile on his face, he greeted Ann first, and then said: "...If you come later , The sun is even more poisonous this day, I don't have anything to do, I'm just afraid that the wedding day will be exposed to the sun." Then, seeing his daughter clinging to Beitang Zunyue, he smiled and said: "It's so hot, don't cling to your grandfather." Beitang Jiaqi was full of smiles, she was not willing to follow her, and she didn't look at her father, she just grabbed Beitang Zunyue's clothes and said to him: "When will my grandfather take me to hunt? Yesterday my father took me..." Beitang Zun Yue casually put down the booklet, picked up his granddaughter, and said casually, "I'll take you with me when I have time, huh?"

The three of them sat down at once, and the morning air was filled with the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, Beitang Zun Yue leaned back on the armchair, and took a small pendant for Beitang Jiaqi who was sitting in his arms to play with, the three generations of grandparents were talking Speaking, there was a peaceful atmosphere in the hall, and soon, Beitang Rongdu was about to tell Beitang Zunyue about the man in Tsing Yi he met yesterday, but suddenly he heard the eunuch's obviously eager voice outside, saying: "... Your Majesty, someone came to report it just now, and Concubine Yu suddenly started to suffer from abdominal pain, I'm afraid she is about to give birth!"
