Chapter 14 Chapter Two

The green-faced man watched Shining go downstairs, his eyes were far away, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. The bead curtain behind him moved, and a woman wearing light makeup came out.She lowered her head, walked to the table, poured a full glass of wine, and brought it to the green-faced man. This woman turned out to be a red girl. The green-faced man took the glass of wine, and the red girl said softly: "Although this man's internal strength is solid, his martial arts are not worth it, so he can only fight with those five phoenix hands. Why does the master want to try him?" What about the sword? Could it be that he is even more powerful than the Xiaoxiang swordsman?"

Even though she said so, there was a hint of a smile on her face, obviously she didn't think so. But the face of the green-faced man was extremely solemn, and he said slowly: "Xiaoxiang swordsman is the number one expert in Xiangxi, his family's Liufang swordsmanship is consistent from inside to outside, and he is naturally different from people like Wufengshou who are mixed in the rivers and lakes. But I didn't bother to shoot him, and I didn't even bother to talk to him." He paused, and said, "But Shi Ning is even more different." The red girl smiled and said, "I've met him more than once. Although this person is a bit daring, he is impulsive, so he may not be a master."

The blue-faced man was silent, and slowly said: "You are wrong." Suddenly, with a sound of "grid", the bronze mask on his face was broken in two out of thin air, and fell to the ground with a "ping-pong" sound. The face behind the mask was a little pale, but more, it was full of high spirits and a trace of loneliness with no ambition. This face now has a trace of dignity. The red girl said in amazement: "This...was this caused by that sword?" The green-faced man nodded and said: "Shi Ning must not be underestimated. Although his swordsmanship is low, what he relies on is not swordsmanship, but a feeling, an innate feeling that is born with the sword. This feeling, but Very few people have it. Even I despised him."

The red girl regained her composure, and said with a smile: "Even if he can cut off the bronze mask with a single sword, wouldn't it be impossible to hurt the master? The master wants to kill him, but it's just a matter of lifting a finger." The green-faced man shook his head, and said: "A master is for use, not for killing." He raised his wine glass, took a sip slowly, and said: "This "Flying Blood Sword Technique", he has practiced it a few times. In a month, I am afraid that General Qiao can be killed." The red girl shook her body and said, "Master, hasn't this task been given to me and Bai Yulou?"

The green face said humanely: "Bai Yulou has more than pure energy, but not enough murderous energy. General Qiao is extremely skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid he can't kill him. If you join hands with Shining, the chance of success is better. Remember, if you miss, you will only die !" The red girl bowed and said, "Yes!" She bent down, and her eyes were extremely complicated. Shining no longer wants to leave.With the "Flying Blood Sword Art", everywhere in the world is a paradise, why did he escape from here? He has very little thought in his mind, so he is more suitable for studying this kind of superior martial arts.At this time, pressing down the ecstasy in my heart, I read this sword manual carefully, and I couldn't help being attracted immediately.This sword technique is vaguely similar to the sword technique taught to him by the quack in the water prison before. It stimulates his own emotions and integrates into the sword technique, thus bursting out a power beyond his own limit.So this set of swordsmanship does not teach the actual moves, but the method of handling the sword.As long as the method is correct, the moves will emerge endlessly and change ever-changingly, such as the Yangtze River, Yushu towers, endless and powerful, it is truly the best swordsmanship in the world.

Shining's whole body and mind were immersed in it, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a light came on in the room.The sudden bright light made his eyes extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but close them tightly.The red girl laughed and said, "It's so dark, can you still see it?" Shining slowly opened his eyes, only to realize that the lights outside had been turned off, and even the inside of the room was pitch black.He was fascinated by the book, his eyes were glued to the book, sincerely, he didn't feel that there was anything dark, and he could actually see the words on the book clearly.After closing my eyes, I couldn't see anything.When he saw the red girl asking, he answered slowly and stood up.

The red girl sneered and said: "I can't tell you are recovering very quickly. You were lying on the bed yesterday and couldn't move, but today you can play and dance. Is this going to be okay? In a few days, you will be able to go to heaven. "As he said, he couldn't help but "chi" smile. Shi Ning scratched his head and then laughed.The red girl took a stack of things, and fell in front of him with a "slap", and said, "How do you pay me for these things?" Shi Ning felt strange, and when he looked up, he saw that the stack was full of bills, such as "A good old Changbai Mountain ginseng, one hundred taels of silver", "32-year-old Poria cocos, ninety-one taels of silver", "Seven-petal snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain, three hundred and twenty taels of silver" and so on.The bills are very thick, and I'm afraid there may not be fifty or sixty bills.

The more Shining looked at it, the more startled he became, that hand gradually became heavy, and he could no longer turn it over. But Miss Hong didn't let him go, she stared at him closely, and said with a sneer, "It's all four thousand three hundred and fifty-six taels of silver. Your lord is generous, just return us four thousand four hundred taels, and the rest That little extra money is our hard work. In order to serve you, the old man, how much business have I lost these days?" Shining couldn't help but raised his head and took a deep look at Miss Hong. The red girl stared and said, "What are you looking at? Do you want to renege on your debt?"

Shining shook his head and said, "I don't have any money, but if I have money in the future, I will definitely pay you back." The red girl laughed loudly and said, "You have really become a master? Why are you rich in the future?" Shining lowered his head and said, "Then what do you think should be done?" The red girl sighed, and said: "Originally, there are two ways for you to go. The first way to make money is a little slower, but you can still pay off your debts. With your appearance, doing that in Wufenglou It is not difficult to save four thousand taels of silver after a year and a half of business. But you beat up customers before you opened your business, and this road has no way to go. The only thing left for you is the second one."

She paused, Shining knew that she would definitely continue, so she stopped asking.The red girl glanced at him and said, "This way is to kill people!" Shining was startled, but he calmed down immediately, and pondered: "My martial arts are too low, and I can't kill people worth four thousand taels." The red girl sneered and said: "But the Wufeng hand you killed today, at least someone will pay 40,000 taels for his life!" Shining was refreshed, but immediately dimmed: "But in front of that masked man, I couldn't even deliver a move." The red girl laughed with a "chi" and softened her words: "Don't think about a character like him. In this world, there are not many people who are more expensive than him."

Shining thought about it, and said: "Then I will only kill bad people, not good people. After I finish paying back your money, I won't kill." The red girl said, "It's up to you." She walked out slowly: "Hurry up and practice your sword skills. The higher your martial arts are, the faster you will make money, and you will be able to pay off my debt earlier." Her fiery red dress was still so dazzling in the dark: "Actually, there are no good people in this world? You are worrying too much." Shi Ning watched her go away sadly, holding the Wuyang Sword tightly in his hand.Can this sword give him unrivaled martial arts and the wealth of the enemy country? Even if it could, what else could it give him? What else does he want? A month passed, Shining immersed himself in this room and the sword manual for a month. This month, Miss Hong never came again. Shining was a little disturbed at first, but then he calmed down, because he must have superb martial arts, otherwise, he would not be able to hope for anything.Therefore, his whole body and heart were immersed in this sword manual, completely forgetting the world and himself. His Zifu zhenqi has also stabilized, and he can use it freely according to his mind.The Wuyang sword seemed to have become another heart of his, dancing freely with his breathing. It's just that he didn't know how far his martial arts had reached, because he never saw a single person except the maid who delivered the food. The door was closed, and he couldn't even hear a sound from outside. He didn't want to hear it either. Time passed, until one day, the faint fragrance of the red girl filled the room again. The face of the sixteen-year-old boy has shown some vicissitudes. Under this dim light, his gaze has a depth that is not commensurate with his age. When the red girl looked at him, he was holding a sword and sitting quietly. Right in the middle of the room. There was no book in front of him, and he didn't move, but there was a look of surprise on the red girl's face. Because of the same posture, she had also seen it with the green-faced man.She knew that Shining was not practicing, he was practicing the same, but it was a deeper level of cultivation, he was using "intent" to move the sword. Miss Hong really didn't expect that Shining's progress would be so fast, maybe the green-faced man was right, and with him, the mission to assassinate General Qiao would be more likely to succeed. She coughed lightly. Shining raised his head, and when he saw the red girl, there was a trace of panic on his face, and he stood up hastily.The red girl stared at him, and she suddenly realized that she could no longer see this man clearly.At this time, Shining is like a cloud, and also like colorful colored glaze, changing its own shape all the time, so that the red girl can't get a grasp of the whole. She stared and smiled: "You are finally ready." Shi Ning nodded, he didn't think that his martial arts had already defeated the realm of masters, but the sword manual in his hand could no longer answer his questions at this time. The red girl said lightly: "We can go." General Joe is at the border. Shining and Miss Hong are in Datong. At that time, the Tatar tribe was powerful, and the army gathered, approaching the front line of the Great Wall.Go north out of Datong Mansion, pass Dongsheng City, and then go west to the Yebula Desert under the control of the Tatars.The journey took only two days, but the scenery changed from the bustling Guannei to the desert and sandstorm outside the Great Wall.Along the way, there are only Shining and Miss Hong.There is also a pipa.The red girl played the pipa very well, her white jade-like fingers spread out, and the piece was even more majestic than the grassland in front of her. All Shi Ning could do was to listen and smile foolishly. In the distance, the angry Huang Yun is indeed not as good-looking as the red girl's fiery red dress and delicate face. The yellow sand in the desert, and only in this way, can it be extraordinarily chivalrous. Suddenly, a camel bell sounded in the distance. In the great desert, horses cannot walk. Only camels that can store water and have fat toes can be used by people.The camel bells sounded closely, as if there were tens of millions of riders. The red girl stayed on the pipa, looked up at Shining, and saw a big banner rising slowly in the distance, with a big word "grain" written in the banner.The red girl said in a low voice: "It seems that these officers and soldiers are escorting food and grass to the border. You can go forward and say that you want to join the army and serve the country. After you sneak in, you can assassinate the general." Shining said: "What about you?" The red girl said: "There must be no women in the army. If I follow you, it will be too eye-catching. Don't worry, I will meet you secretly." Shining nodded.The red girl smiled at him, jingling her pipa, and walked slowly towards the other side of the Gobi. Shining watched her red makeup gradually being swallowed up by the desert yellow wind, and felt a sense of loss in her heart. The food delivery team gradually approached, and the leader was a burly man, who looked like a lieutenant general.Shi Ning went forward and explained his purpose. The deputy general was overjoyed and asked him to walk with the army without asking any further questions.There was a cry from the sudden Gobi, and a group of people was snatched away. The deputy general was very experienced and didn't panic. He took out an ox horn and blew it wildly. Then he saw the camels carrying the food and grass stopped at the same pace, while the camels carrying people stepped up and rushed forward in an instant. , A big barrier was erected in front of the grain and grass.Shining looked from a distance, and saw that the gangsters who came out to rob were all pale, and they were carrying hoes, sickles and other things in their hands. They seemed to be unable to stand in the violent wind and sand.Shi Ning knew that these were starved and fainted victims, so he had no choice but to rob food and grass. But unfortunately.What they robbed was military rations, which was a capital crime of beheading. The deputy general sneered a few times, raised his hand and waved a few times, suddenly there was a violent bang, the soldiers behind him all pulled out their muskets and fired a round into the air.This Gobi is extremely empty, and the sound of gunfire is extremely breathtaking.The gangsters immediately turned pale, and their hoes and sickles fell to the ground. The deputy general laughed loudly, and said, "You rioters, hurry up and get out of here, lest you lose your life needlessly!" The gangsters saw that the soldiers holding the food were all armed with muskets, with bright armor and a large number of people, knowing that they could not get any benefits, they all turned around and walked away with their heads bowed.But they were so hungry that when they were retreating, some of them couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground, unable to get up again. Shi Ning recalled the days when he was wandering in the rivers and lakes. At that time, he couldn't get enough to eat, and he often went hungry for several days.Seeing the misery of these people, he couldn't help feeling moved in his heart, and said: "General, we have carried so much food and grass, why don't we divide them up? Isn't it for the common people to protect the family and the country?" The lieutenant general was shocked and said: "The rations are military rations. Without the order of the general, who would dare to move them? That is the crime of beheading!" Shi Ning said anxiously: "But seeing these people starving to death on the road, how can the general have the heart?" The deputy general raised his beard and said: "There is some truth in what you said. It's not that the general will not be rescued, but that he can't do enough. Forget it, just share some of the food we bring with us with them. You must know that the most precious thing is now The most important thing is food, I was ordered by the general to transport grain to Fengxiang, the general ordered 10,000 dan, but the thirteen prefectures near Fengxiang only raised 8,000 dan, the people's power is weak." With that said, he ordered his subordinates to bring out some of the road rations.Shining was overjoyed and shouted urgently: "You guys go slowly, there is food!" When the bandits heard the shout, they were overjoyed and ran back.Some elderly people were so happy that they couldn't catch their breath, so they fell down and died.Fortunately, there were not many culprits, so everyone shared two steamed buns.I saw that they were so happy that they didn't even have the time to say anything. They picked up the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths vigorously.Shining felt sad when he saw it, he kept shaking his head while handing out steamed buns.The lieutenant general was also filled with emotion. Those hungry people ate up all the steamed buns, and still looked at the bags full of grain on the hunchback reluctantly. Although they moved their feet, their eyes did not turn away.Shi Ning had no choice but to shout: "Let's go! The military rations are in the sky, don't move rashly, when there is no war, everyone will have food to eat." I heard a hungry man sigh: "Is there still a day when there is no war in this world? I can't see it." Seeing that there was no hope for food, they couldn't fight again and again, so they had to slowly disperse. But the sky was gradually getting dark, the deputy general looked up at the sky, and said: "No, this delay, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the pass before sunset." Shining smiled and said: "If you don't make it, you can leave tomorrow. The bandits outside the pass are just hungry people, what are you afraid of?" The deputy general had a worried expression on his face, and said, "I'm not afraid of the hungry people." Shining looked around and said, "What else is there to be afraid of?" The deputy general said: "Wind." As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly turned dark.The rustling wind just now suddenly became louder.The withered yellow of the rolling sky turned into deep pitch black, covering half of the sky, and then rushed towards the other half of the sky like a galloping horse.It didn't last long, the whole sky was pitch black, and Yu Lei's voice kept ringing. Although Shining grew up in the Central Plains, seeing how fierce the wind was, he knew it was not good.The lieutenant general's face changed completely, and he shouted: "Quick! Go to the foot of that mountain!" At this time, the sound of the wind was already extremely severe, and the moment his words came out, they were blown away by the wind.The yellow sand all over the ground was blown up, and there were almost no people on the opposite side.The deputy general stomped his feet and said, "How can this be good? How can this be good?" Shining covered his face with his hands, raised his head to look around, and saw that the sky was all yellow, only the big banner could still be seen.He shouted: "General, don't worry, I have a solution!" He took a deep breath, forced out his true energy from his heart veins, covered his face, rose into the air, and rushed towards the big banner.The soldier holding the flag shouted, "Who?" Shining said sharply: "The general has an order, go to the foot of the mountain!" At this moment, a gust of wind blew up, and with a crackling sound, the flag car with the big banner blew apart, and the big banner flew backwards.Shining flew up, holding the big banner with both palms.But the wind was so strong and fierce that it wanted to destroy the world.He clenched his teeth and pushed his true energy to the limit before he stabilized the big palm.He stood still for a while, and waited for the wind to slow down a little, then he took a step, and walked slowly towards the foot of the mountain holding the big banner in his hand.This big banner is where the soul of the army is located, and the soldiers who unloaded the food saw the big banner moving, so they followed.The foot of the mountain was only a few hundred feet away, but it took an entire hour to walk. The mountain is not high, but with some shelter, the wind is much smaller.The camels were grouped together and checked, but luckily none got lost.Beyond the foot of the mountain, there are yellow clouds rolling in darkly, the sky and the earth seem to be embracing together, and the thunderbolts are rumbling non-stop. Although Shining's martial arts has just completed, he still can't help but feel palpitating in the face of the power of the world. The deputy general stared out blankly, and murmured: "Looking at it like this, it won't take two or three days. I'm afraid the wind won't be able to stop." Shining was also worried in his heart, and relieved him: "This kind of natural disaster, there is nothing you can do if you encounter it, general, please let go of your arms." The deputy general sighed, and said: "You know, the pass is just ten miles away. If we didn't help the victims just now, we can enter the pass before the wind comes, so we won't be afraid of the strong wind." Shining was startled, and the deputy general said to himself: "This delay, no matter what, will not meet the general's deadline!" As expected, the strong wind was getting stronger and stronger. The soldiers struggled to prop up their tents and took out cold water and dry food to eat. The co-general shook his head, but refused to eat anything.The strong wind blew for three days and three nights before it gradually subsided.When he recognized the way in front of him, the deputy general urged him to go on the way. Along the way, everyone's faces were very heavy. Sure enough, ten miles away, there is a small pass.After entering the customs, there are mountains on both sides, and the wind can't blow.After walking for another two days, a series of large camps could be seen in the distance, the general's face became even more frightened, and he drove everyone towards the camp. I saw Juechen riding a horse coming, and before he got close, the soldiers on the horse shouted loudly: "General Zheng Ming!" The officer trembled for a while, turned over and got off the camel, and followed the soldier into the camp.Many soldiers ran out of the camp, picked up the camels that were carrying the food, and called Shining to enter the camp with the soldiers holding the food. As soon as they entered the camp, they heard a tiger roar from the leading Golden Tent camp: "Beheaded!" Then, Lieutenant General Zheng Ming was pushed by several people, rushed out with his face ashen, and tied him to a dark red pillar.The executioner picked up the Ghost Head Knife and sharpened it on the nearby stone. A crackling sound! Shocked, Shining took a step forward and shouted, "Why? Why did you want to cut him off?" Everyone around was shocked, some of the soldiers in charge of the grain had a good chat with Shining all the way, at this time they quietly pulled Shining's sleeves, and made him stop talking with a wink, Shining saw that the lieutenant had suffered a lot, and did not I lost my life in the wind and sand, but I was about to die in the army camp. My heart was angry, but how could I care about their advice? Hearing a bold voice from the golden tent, said word by word: "Why do you ask?"
