Chapter 591 Chapter One

Hearing the sound of Chi Shengchun rushing in, Xu Ziling stepped into the side garden and scolded himself for being stupid, why he didn't think that "The Picture of Cold Forest and Qingyuan" was hidden in the place where it should be hidden, the study.Collecting this kind of silk paintings is a science. It is very important to pay attention to cold, warm and dry. Otherwise, if moldy or moth eats, the treasures will become waste. The dark and damp dungeon is therefore not suitable. It seems that it is not easy to be a refined thief. , must have common sense in this area. Uncle Xu jumped onto the tile roof of the study and was in charge of controlling the wind.

Xu Ziling dodged to the dark place by the corner wall, gathered his ears together, not only did he not be detected by Mr. Xu above, but also acted as ears on the partition wall, monitoring Chi Shengchun's every move in the study meticulously with his sharp hearing. Chi Shengchun's breathing became short of breath, obviously worrying about gains and losses, and he was in a nervous mood. Then there was a series of sounds of machine locks, locks being released, and secret compartments being opened. It can be seen that there are secret compartments in the study for placing valuable calligraphy, paintings or documents. kind of thing.

Uncle Xu shouted from above: "Are you there?" Chi Shengchun let out a long breath, and then the sound of pulling the scroll to view it sounded, and he responded at the same time: "That stinky idea is really just a trick, Mr. Xu be careful!" Uncle Xu snorted coldly: "I hope he really dares to come out and steal treasure." Xu Ziling was constantly gathering his skills, in order to succeed in one fell swoop, when he heard this, he smiled secretly, thinking that what you wish will surely come true.When he was about to take action, Master Xu from above let out an exclamation, followed by the clash of vigor like firecrackers.

Was it another elegant thief who robbed the treasured painting?This person should have been watching from the sidelines, and only then did he make a move.And with Xu Ziling's current skill, he didn't notice it, so it can be seen that the person coming must belong to Shi Zhixuan's level of master. Things happened so fast, Xu Ziling was taken aback, he didn't know whether he should immediately join the battle for treasure paintings that came suddenly without warning, Master Xu had already been punched off the roof, and then the lights in the study went out, Chi Shengchun groaned miserably Exclaimed endlessly, the chair overturned and the object fell, and then the sound of the wind faded away.

Xu Ziling sighed inwardly about his bad luck, and he was very curious, who is so good, because Uncle Xu is indeed a first-class magic master, but he repelled him after a few encounters, and calmly snatched the treasured painting from Chi Shengchun's hand . As the wind faded away, Xu Ziling had no choice but to follow him. Kou Zhong stopped abruptly, and there was a person standing proudly in front of the official road, he laughed and said, "Isn't the young commander going to be Wang Shichong's running dog? Why do you have the leisure to leave the camp for a walk?" Kou Zhong strode forward, ten steps away from the road blocker, he said with a dumb smile: "So it's brother Xu Yan, the Illusory Demon Body Technique is really well-deserved of its reputation, and he can be ahead of the younger brother as a little thief blocking the road and cutting the path. The younger brother is here now I have no money, but I have a low life, if I want to take it, I have to see if brother Xu Yan has that ability?"

It was actually the "Shadow Swordsman" Yang Xuyan, needless to say he was secretly waiting outside the camp, seeing Kou Zhong leaving the camp, so he followed him and came here to intercept him.Kou Zhong lost his mind and thought wildly, and also Yang Xuyan is a master of stealth, he lost his consciousness for a moment and didn't know that this formidable enemy was following behind him. Covered with a black cloth cover and wearing night clothes, Yang Xuyan, who is tall and dexterous, had a sharp look in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Young Commander's eight methods in the well are famous all over the world. Who dares to boast that he can take the Young Commander's life. But Xu Yan Seeing the Young Marshal fighting with the King of Qin for a long time, I can't help but feel itchy, and I don't want to miss the opportunity for nothing, so I can't help but try to compete."

Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "Brother Xu Yan is really accurate, and to be honest, I did not stop fighting today, and my true energy wasted a lot. Alas! Does Brother Xu Yan have a lot of time? Why bother talking nonsense, start immediately Seeing the truth is the truth." "Clang!" Yang Xuyan pulled out the shadow sword that had made countless stabbed targets bewildered and hated, and spurred out a powerful sword energy, and rushed towards Kou Zhong, and said coldly: "So Xuyan is no longer polite!" Kou Zhong took a step back, pulled out Jing Zhongyue on his back, pointed at the opponent, counteracted the opponent's domineering and fierce sword energy, and said in surprise: "No wonder Brother Xu Yan is so confident, it turns out that the swordsmanship has made great progress, and it is indeed possible to punish the younger brother, so that the younger brother Immediately felt very exciting."

The sword energy that Yang Xuyan urged could not stop growing, but his tone was calm and unwavering, he said coldly: "How dare Xu Yan forget for a moment the humiliation bestowed by the young commander. Young commander, don't blame Xu Yan for taking advantage of others' dangers , because this is Xu Yan's consistent style, and the true qualities of an assassin. Look at the sword!" Xu Ziling rushed up to the top of the tree without a sound, just in time to catch the man's back flashing into a small building next to the back garden of another mansion inside the high wall.

This is a mansion on the east bank of Yong'an Canal in Buzheng Square. Those who can live in this square are either rich or expensive. It is only one Anhua Street away from the Imperial Palace.In the dead of night, when people are quiet, the house is dark and dimly lit, it is obvious that everyone in the house has fallen asleep early. Xu Ziling was able to follow here, but he did his best.This "senior" who seems to have picked up a big deal by chance is surprisingly high in martial arts. Xu Ziling thought that he was not sure that he could snatch the treasure painting back from him, so he changed his mind temporarily and only planned to "steal" things from him again. return.

In order to achieve this goal, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to notice that someone is stalking behind. Therefore, he hangs far behind with his supernatural spiritual sense, and only at this moment did he catch a glimpse of his back. There was a strange feeling of familiarity in my heart, as if I had seen someone with such a figure somewhere, but I couldn't remember who it was for a while?At the same time, I am puzzled. From an architectural point of view, this is a small building that is located in the back garden, far away from the main building of the Chinese house. It seems to be a small building that has been forgotten by the world.It doesn't make sense.Unless the owner of the house is a strange person who likes to hide here to enjoy the quietness of the back garden.

Xu Ziling sighed inwardly, he didn't expect that stealing a painting would be so full of twists and turns, Boy Hou will be very disappointed tomorrow.What should I do now?The ideal is of course that the other party immediately roll out of the small building holding the treasured painting, then he can see where the person hid the painting, and when the other party comes out, he will enter behind, and the thief will steal the painting. It's a pity that after the person entered the building, there was no movement, if the other person fell asleep here, wouldn't he have to wait until dawn and wait for him to wake up before watching the movement.But tomorrow morning Anhua Street is full of people coming and going, and this big tree growing beside the street is no longer a shelter. Ok! He had to wait until dawn to see if God would give him a good chance tonight! Kou Zhong felt great hatred in his heart, Yang Xuyan really knows how to choose the time.In terms of mood, he is unbeatable. He had just had a big fight with Wang Shichong, and they broke up unhappy. He was both lost and at a loss. In terms of state, he fought hard all day long, exhausted physically and mentally, with more than a dozen wounds on his body that have not yet healed. This kid is obviously taking advantage of others' danger, but he has changed from assassination to assassination, calling him despicable is just nonsense. Kou Zhong aroused a huge fighting spirit and managed to gather his kung fu, but found that he could only use five or six kung fu under normal conditions at most.The opponent was not Yang Xuyan but someone else, Zhendou could still find a way to escape, but Yang Xuyan's phantom magic body technique passed down from Shi Zhixuan made him lose his heart, just watch him chase from the camp Come here, and rush to intercept him in front of him, it's not a fool who should know that he can't run him. Yang Xuyan, who was ten steps away, laughed, and the shadow sword in his hand suddenly turned into tens of thousands of points, reflecting the stars and moonlight in the sky, and sprinkled them all over the sky, and the energy like a wall turned into countless The fine energy of sharp needles piercing the skin, along with the ever-changing sword moves, came towards him wildly, clearly deceiving him to be exhausted, and using the force of a thunderbolt to gather his energy in one blow, to put him to death. This is the second time he has fought against Yang Xuyan, and he knows that his self-created shadow swordsmanship takes the "odd and dangerous" way, and the beautiful awn points that the sword's edge transforms into is a trick that seduces people, just like a femme fatale, in a beautiful A deadly killing is hidden under the cover of his appearance. Kou Zhongyi stood still, squinting his eyes, staring at the overwhelming light spots that exploded towards him like fireworks, and resisted the opponent's razor-sharp energy purely with his protective energy. The awn point attacked about five feet in front of Kou Zhong, and then shrank again, turning into a light cluster composed of a ball of awn point with a diameter of about a foot.What Kou Zhong saw was no longer a shadow sword, but a spirit beyond any description. This is Yang Xuyan's real kung fu. "Clang"! Jing Zhongyue suddenly changed her stance, raised her head high, like chopping but not chopping, it was just a variant of "not attacking". Yang Xuyan laughed loudly and said: "Young commander is tired!" He didn't see any movement, he suddenly moved to Kou Zhong's left side, the awn point was like a column of rushing water waterfall, rushing towards his cheek, breath The ear-piercing sound of vigorous whistling filled Kou Zhong's ears. Shadow swordsmanship is designed for the opponent's senses. Even with Kou Zhongzhi's ability, his usual acuity is greatly reduced when Yang Xuyan's unique sword style is fully developed. Kou Zhong moved away, and Jing Zhongyue seemed to swipe casually towards the core of the light group. "Ding"! The light spots dissipated. Jing Zhongyue hit Jianfeng. Half of Kou Zhong's body became numb immediately, he screamed in his heart, knowing that due to the huge loss of his true energy, he could no longer overwhelm this abominable opponent in terms of internal strength. Yang Xuyan showed surprise on his face, and said: "Young commander has made a lot of progress!" With a tremor of the sword, it turned into three points of light, and moved towards Kou Zhongyin in the shape of a character, and at the same time, he took strange steps, shifting shape and shadow, moving suddenly Going behind Kou Zhong, the attack changed from Kou Zhong's left side to the attack from the back, swift as a ghost, and seemingly real. Kou Zhong had no choice but to turn around and swung his saber to sweep back.Although he knew that he was going to use up his true energy by fighting, but he couldn't take the initiative back from him, so he could only see his tricks and be led away by the opponent. If this situation cannot be reversed, Kou Zhong will end up with hatred. "Dangdangdang" The sound of sword clashing is endless, Kou Zhong keeps turning outwards, Yang Xuyan's shadow sword is like a maggot attached to the bone, and the stormy court Kou Zhong is attacking hard, not allowing him to breathe Chance. Kou Zhong even wanted to call for help, knowing that if he allowed this situation to develop, he would only be the one who would suffer. At this juncture of life and death, Kou Zhong stopped abruptly, and Jing Zhongyue rushed forward.This move was obviously beyond Yang Xuyan's expectation, he did not expect Kou Zhong to be able to reverse his true qi, change his movement and stillness, and stop as soon as he said it.The most powerful thing is that this knife is a tactic that kills both, completely ignoring his sword attack, and the blade strikes the vital point of his throat. Blood spattered. Kou Zhong's left shoulder was torn apart, and his clothes were torn. Yang Xuyan, because of the slight difference between Kou Zhong's blade and his throat, retreated two zhang away, and resumed the confrontation. Severe pain spread from the wound to the whole body. Fortunately, the opponent was unable to spit out the real strength in time to avoid the blade, so it was only a flesh injury. The pain made Kou Zhong seem to wake up from a vague nightmare, he completely put the bad emotions out of his mind, and his mind entered the state of Jing Zhongyue. Yang Xuyan pointed his sword at Kou Zhong, and said with a calm smile, "How does this sword taste?" Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Very good! Look at the knife." He worked hard to get injured to equalize the one-sided situation, and of course he refused to let go of the good opportunity to take the initiative. Yang Xuyan didn't deliberately let Kou Zhong have a chance to catch his breath, but Jing Zhongyue in Kou Zhong's hands seemed to be attacking but not attacking, seemingly defending but not defending, making him unable to see through and dare not advance rashly. It was the first time for Yang Xuyan to meet an opponent who became more formidable and unpredictable after being stabbed by him. Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue seemed to break through the void, seemingly clumsy but ingenious, and shot straight at him. Yang Xuyan moved and said: "Good knife!" The shadow sword drew a complete circle, and a light and shadow appeared, and went towards the moon in the well. Kou Zhong laughed, the saber accelerated and hit the center of the circle. "Zheng"! The shadow sword twisted and hit Zhongyue Jing, and then a rain of swords exploded in the sky. The two retreated and returned to their previous positions, with their swords facing each other. Although Kou Zhong didn't take any advantage, he was not surprised but pleased.It's all because he knows that he has successfully equalized the disadvantages, and it is no longer Yang Xuyan who controls the overall situation. Yang Xuyan charged forward with lightning, and the shadow sword turned into a rain of swords, attacking Kou Zhong from different angles one after another. With the cooperation of his phantom magic body skills, every position he changed was unexpected , Attacking Kou Zhong violently from all directions, with the potential to shake mountains and mountains. Standing like a mountain, Kou Zhong used the "Battle Determination" of the eight methods of the well to block the opponent's mercury-like attack. It can block the shadow swordsmanship that frightens the world. The strength roared, and the sky and the earth turned pale. Suddenly Kou Zhong's saber slashed at the empty space, Yang Xuyan's shadow sword was slashed by him obediently like it was delivered to the door. "Chess"! It wasn't until this moment that Kou Zhong saw through Yang Xuyan's sword for the first time and saved his own life, otherwise if Yang Xuyan continued to exert his full strength, Kou Zhong would definitely be the one who fell down. "when"! Yang Xuyan retreated after the shock, all the changes in his moves were blocked by Kou Zhong, and he couldn't continue.Kou Zhong's spiral strength made him feel very uncomfortable, he had to retreat. Kou Zhong's knives are in full swing, he is close to running out of fuel, and he can't hold on for much longer, taking advantage of this opportunity, he is willing to let it go, and launched the "quick battle" of the eight methods in the well, and counterattacked with all his strength. Suddenly the sound of "clanking" sounded in succession, Jing Zhongyue turned the complexity into simplicity, and honestly slashed at Yang Xuyan one after another, the knife was as fast as lightning, flexible as fireworks, the angle and timing were inexactly precise, and there was nothing wrong with it. It is not aimed at Yang Xuyan's strengths and weaknesses, but suddenly seems to shake the strengths, and suddenly looks for weaknesses and attacks. With Yang Xuyan's ability, under Kou Zhong's tyrannical attack, he could only keep retreating and blocking on the other side of the official path, but he was not defeated and retreated, but he avoided the front first, and then looked for opportunities to counterattack. "Ding"! The shadow sword picks at the sharp edge of Zhongjing Zhongyue, Kou Zhongju retreats in shock. Surprisingly, Yang Xuyan didn't take advantage of the momentum to attack, stood with his sword horizontally, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "In terms of saber technique, I'm afraid it will be your turn to be the 'Young Commander' Kou Zhongli after Song Que of 'Sword of Heaven'!" Kou Zhong regrouped two zhang away, spread out his position, and said in surprise, "Isn't your elder brother going to kill me? Why did you let go of this great opportunity?" Yang Xuyan sighed: "I have tried out the reality of the young commander, and guessed that Brother Kou may be killed, but it is absolutely impossible to avoid Brother Kou's counterattack before he dies. Sigh! It's just that the younger brother has something important to do. , it is not appropriate to be injured at this time, so we have to give up this battle." Kou Zhong still felt that his sword energy locked him tightly, so he dared to trust and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Frankly speaking, Brother Yang is only a little bit close to taking my Kou Zhong's life, why not try it again? Otherwise, you will miss Ling Wan In the future, you will have to worry about your elder brother instead of your younger brother." Yang Xuyan put his sword back in its scabbard, and slowly lifted off his hood, revealing a handsome and noble face. His pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes contrasted sharply with the straight bridge of the nose and the corners of his resolute mouth, without blinking. Staring at Kou Zhong, the tall, wide and flat forehead seemed to contain infinite confidence and wisdom, and the black hair was neatly combed back and tied into a bun. Kou Zhong wondered, "Why does Brother Yang treat me so favorably?" Yang Xuyan said lightly: "What we have in common is that we all have the same goal. The Young Commander wants to get something that doesn't belong to you, but I want to get back what should belong to me. As for The reason why I dare not take risks is because I am not used to taking risks. Every time I assassinate the target, I have a detailed plan and complete certainty. The third trip. Young commander please!" Kou Zhong saw Yang Xuyan disappear into the forest beside the road with numbness, he felt something wrong, but he had no choice but to continue his journey and go to find Xu Ziling.
