Chapter 32 Section VI

Time: At the beginning of Xushi (according to today's timing, it should be seven o'clock in the evening). Location: Su Causeway. The night is gentle. Usually, it is a good time for the citizens to enjoy the cool air after dinner. There are also couples who have a tryst and families who go out for a walk on the Su Causeway.However, since the frequent murders and the city's curfew, the Su Causeway, which is more than ten miles long, has been empty, and the birds are chirping happily on the peach trees, and no one has disturbed them. The fisherman also stayed at home obediently. Ning Xin'er snuggled up to the third son, walked on the embankment, looked at the dim lights on the other side, smelled the intoxicating evening breeze, sighed beautifully, and said: "What a beautiful moment, if only it would be like this forever .”

"Aren't you afraid? What if those murderers suddenly appear and kill us together?" "Look at you, you're so boring, you kill the scenery as soon as you open your mouth." Ning Xin'er scolded, "I really hope that those murderers will show up immediately and send you to the west." As soon as she finished speaking, she Seeing a person coming out of the shadow in front of her, she couldn't help but sighed again when she saw that the person was holding a long sword, and said, "I'm really a crow's mouth." The third young master smiled tolerantly and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't blame you."

The man said: "Third Young Master, please stay." The third son asked back: "It's rare for me to go out for a walk, why should I stay?" The man said: "Not only must you stay, but you must also keep your life." The third son said: "This is not a good day to kill people." The man said: "I think it's good. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the surrounding fields are quiet. If I don't kill people, I can't think of anything else to do." "I can't tell that your Excellency is still an elegant person, but if you want to kill me, isn't it too rare for you alone?"

"Do you know who I am?" "It doesn't matter who you are." The man drew his sword angrily.The sword was so black that it was almost indistinguishable in the night. The man was holding a sword flower, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.Usually, that is the call of death.The third young master said in shock: "Dark Iron Sword! Are you Xiao Tang the Assassin?" The man said in a deep voice: "Exactly. Third Young Master, please shine your sword." The third young master said: "Why bother. I'm in a good mood today. Anyway, you are determined to kill me, and I didn't say no to you, so before killing me, let's have a chat first."

"There's nothing to talk about between us." Ning Xin'er said: "Assassin Xiaotang, one of the most difficult assassins in the Jianghu, it is said that he never kills innocent people indiscriminately, unless he is a treacherous and evil person, he will never take it lightly. The dark iron sword only takes those who deserve it. Life." She said to Xiao Tang again, "You should go back, you can't beat my son." Xiao Tang hissed, "Isn't it too early to talk about the outcome before the fight?" Ning Xin'er said: "It's not too early, it's not too early. Whoever wins and who loses is like the lice on a monk's head, it's obvious."

The third young master smiled approvingly at Ning Xin'er, and said: "Xin'er, that's a good analogy." Then he said to Xiao Tang, "Brother Tang, do you dare to ask me if I am a treacherous and evil person?" Xiao Tang said: "No." The third son said: "Have you ever owed the other party a big favor, so you want to kill me to repay his favor?" Xiao Tang said: "No." The third son said: "Could it be that the other party grabbed your relatives and threatened you to do this?" Xiao Tang said: "No." The third young master said: "Did the other party offer you a price that you couldn't refuse?"

Xiao Tang said: "No." The third young master said: "Since that's the case, I understand." Xiao Tang said, "It's best if you understand." Ning Xin'er said: "You all understand, I still don't understand, tell me what's going on." The third son ignored her, and said to himself: "It seems that brother Tang is a very curious person." Xiao Tang said: "That's right. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing." The third son said: "Brother Tang, can you lend me the dark iron sword?" Xiao Tang was taken aback, Ning Xin'er was also dumbfounded.Seeing that a decisive battle was about to break out, it was absurd to even ask to borrow the opponent's weapon. In the whole world, there was probably only the third son who could make such an absurd request with such a serious attitude.

Ning Xin'er touched the third son's forehead, and said: "You really have a problem, and the problem is not serious. He is here to kill you. You usually ask him to borrow a sword. Maybe he likes you and is willing to lend it to you." You use it, but if you ask him to borrow it now, of course he won’t borrow it.” Xiao Tang said: "Miss is wrong." After speaking, he turned the sword around, pinched the tip of the sword with the hilt facing outward, and handed it to the third son. The third son showed admiration, and said: "Brother Tang is really a gentleman, with a magnanimous mind and an extraordinary bearing."

Strange to say, the third young master seemed to have changed as soon as he got the dark iron sword in his hand, even Ning Xin'er, who didn't know martial arts, felt this change.The originally dull iron sword, like a giant dragon, suddenly came to life, and an invisible light spread from the third son to the sword, and then spread out, expanding continuously, almost boundless. In just a split second, everything returned to calm.The third son did the same thing, holding the tip of the sword with the hilt facing outwards, and handing it back to Xiao Tang, who took the iron sword dumbly, before he could close his mouth wide open, his gaze changed from provocation to awe, no matter how careful he was, Look, his whole body is trembling. What kind of power can make an assassin who has been in the world for more than ten years and has killed people tremble?

The third young master smiled and said, "Have you seen it all?" Xiao Tang nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen it all." "Congratulations. The door of your vision has been opened wide, and your sword has been blessed by the third son." The third son's voice seemed to come from the sky, making the ears look up. "Thank you." "You know who I am now?" "Yes." Xiao Tang put his sword back into its sheath, bowed deeply to the third young master, and said, "What an offense. Farewell." Just as Xiao Tang turned around, a burst of deliberate wild laughter sounded ignorantly from not far away.

"The Dark Iron Sword seems to be just a vain name. Assassin Xiao Tang is nothing more than that. He retreated in fright before he even made a move. He is so timid, how can he be qualified to be an assassin?" The front, back, left, and right are encircling, surrounding the third young master, Ning Xin'er, and the assassin Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang said: "The Seven Killing Stars of Sirius have also come, it seems that they are really worried about me. Do you want to silence me too?" The leading man with a scarred face said: "Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, this is the rule of a killer. You have been a killer for so many years, you should know it very well. But since everyone is in the same industry, let's just leave it for today." Spare your life, you better go." Xiao Tang said: "What if I don't leave?" The scar-faced man said angrily: "You son of a bitch must have been possessed by an evil spirit. Not only did you not kill him, but now you actually want to help him instead. I am deeply ashamed to have a killer like you with me." The third son said to Xiao Tang: "Brother Tang, I left them to you." Little Tang Gong said: "This is Tang's honor. Tang is willing to serve." The third young master said, "Brother Tang is so thankful." He took Ning Xin'er's hand and continued walking forward defiantly, Ning Xin'er also followed him wholeheartedly.A big man standing in front of him shouted angrily: "Die!" A whip was drawn in the air, and the tip of the whip made a sound like thunder.This foreigner's strange weapon is full of upside-down steel thorns, it goes straight to Ning Xin'er, it is the one who must save the third young master.A short man rolled on the ground in the front left, and used a ground knife to cut off Ning Xin'er's feet, while the weapon of the man diagonally behind was even more strange, it was actually a large net made of wire, covering the two of them head-on. The upper, middle and lower roads were all blocked. As soon as Xiao Tang drew his sword, he wanted to break out of the siege, but four weapons attacked him. Only in the blink of an eye, the net has fallen, but the one who uses the whip and the one who uses the knife are covered in the net.The net is woven with a special weaving method, and it will automatically close when it hits the ground, and it will become tighter and tighter.The two people trapped inside couldn't move at all.Third Young Master and Ning Xin'er had already walked more than ten steps away, as if they had never passed this place before. When they reached the level with the Huxin Pavilion, they had passed the Misty Rain Bridge, and Ning Xin'er said, "Cao Xiaosan, I really have you. I don't know if you were born with great fortune or a real immortal reincarnation. So many people don't like you." Method." The third son looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said: "I am a heavenly man, but I am in the world of mortals." "I don't believe it. How can an immortal smile so badly?" After walking a little further, Ning Xin'er suddenly said, "Let's go boating on the lake." "It's so late, it's dangerous." "There are people on the cruise over there." Ning Xin'er said unconvinced.Sure enough, there was a big boat parked in the middle of the West Lake, without lights or flags, so it was hard to see clearly.From a distance, I heard screams from the boat and the sound of quarreling.At this time, there were no waves in the water, but the big boat of ten feet was shaking in the water. Ning Xin'er said: "Did something happen over there?" The third young master said: "At night, if you want to sail the boat to the middle of the West Lake, you need permission from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Therefore, this boat should have a long history, and it should be well prepared. I don't think anything will happen." After a while, the lake returned to calm, and the big boat slowly headed towards Yuhuang Mountain. The third young master and Ning Xin'er walked to the end of the embankment, the night was getting darker, Ning Xin'er called out: "Cold." Then he just returned.After passing by the place where the fight was just now, it was empty, and there was no corpse left behind.The third son sighed: "Xiaotang the Assassin, he really does everything cleanly and neatly, he even cleaned up the corpse." Ning Xin'er asked: "How do you know that the one who died was the Sirius Seven Killers?" The third son said: "If it was Xiao Tang who died, how could we swim the entire Su Causeway without anyone disturbing us?" Ning Xin'er said: "Thinking about it, what you said makes sense." The third son said: "I have always been reasonable."
