The happy life of a prodigal

It turned out that his master once told him that talent is the most important thing in the journey of martial arts.

However, even those with extraordinary talents need to study hard for [-] years if they want to cultivate to the first-class level.

Stepping into the Grandmaster is more about the right time, place and people. Both are indispensable, and it will take fifty years at the earliest.

But......

He...if he studies the way of swordsman intensively, he only needs forty years to have the opportunity to become a master.

Now, he has practiced martial arts for more than forty years, and his sword skills are even worse than before.

Hearing the old woman's words, she finally became angry from embarrassment, and cursed: "A brave and foolish sparrow knows the ambition of a grand swan!

Martial arts and swordsmanship are ultimately small paths, while temples are the great paths! "

After finishing speaking, he clenched the sharp sword in his hand again, performed sword skills, and pointed at the old woman.

Seeing this, the old woman shook her head, sighed, and waved her sleeve.

Another three small swords galloped towards the middle-aged swordsman, so fast that they even left trails in the night sky!

When the middle-aged swordsman saw these small swords, his pupils shrank slightly, and naturally he stopped and raised his sword to block.

It's just... not far away, those guards in heavy armor are getting closer!

Seeing this, Zhao Yan showed anxiety, looked at the old woman, and said loudly: "Mother, hurry up and save Father, or it will be too late!"

The old woman ignored her, but looked at the position of the palace wall, tapped the ground gently, and flew upside down.

When passing by Zhao Yan and Fang Xiu, he grabbed their collars and led them directly to the palace wall!

Chapter 574 Another Village

"Mommy!"

Zhao Yan was led up to the palace wall by the old woman, looked at the crowd below and the other courtyard where her father was imprisoned not far away, and shouted loudly: "Father, mother!"

Fang Xiu's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened, he followed behind the old woman and fled.

"damn it!"

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged swordsman cursed secretly, looked at the guards beside him, and said loudly: "Catch me!

Never let them escape! "

"Yes, my lord!"

Hundreds of heavily armored guards in this criss-crossing palace, how can they compare with a master-level master.

Even if the master still has two burdens around him.

The old woman took Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan, distanced herself from the guards in a few steps, then put them down and said, "Go first, the old man stops them."

"Mommy, I won't leave, I want to be with you, I want to be with my father!"

Zhao Yan stood behind the old woman, with an anxious look on her face, and said loudly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu grabbed her arm and said, "Your father is fine, we will only be a burden to seniors here.

If you don't want to hurt your father and mother, come with me quickly! "

After finishing speaking, before Zhao Yan could react, she dragged her and ran to the other side.

Fang Xiu is not familiar with this palace, but the most urgent thing is to get rid of those guards' pursuit.

So, he dragged Zhao Yan in a random direction and started running.

When Zhao Yan heard what Fang Xiu said, she didn't react for a while.

However, she instinctively chose to trust Fang Xiu, and instead of resisting, she ran after him.

The martial arts of the two people are not strong, but they are not too weak, and the clothes they are wearing are relatively light, and they quickly disappeared into the night.

certainly......

Because of them, the entire palace has been put on guard, and it is impossible to leave the palace as easily as when they came in.

After walking a few steps, they saw a group of lightly armored guards rushing towards the emperor's courtyard.

Fortunately, there was an old woman present, who could help them stop the pursuers for a while, otherwise, no matter what, they would not be able to escape with their two small arms and legs.

"What should we do now?"

The two hid behind the tree and watched the guards running fast not far away.

Zhao Yan couldn't help asking.

Fang Xiu looked at the guards, and for a while, there was no good way.

If it was a soldier of the pro-military mansion, after seeing him, he might be able to sell some thin noodles.

But these guards, no matter the clothes they wear or the weapons they use, are not from the military mansion.

It should be the government soldiers recruited by King Ning these days. There is a high probability that they will only obey King Ning's orders, and even using gold medals is useless.

Fang Xiu looked at them, his mind spinning rapidly.

At this time, his eyes swept away inadvertently, but he saw the dawn of hope.

"Come with me!"

Fang Xiu lowered his voice, and then led the way ahead.

At this time, Zhao Yan had no room to think and could only follow Fang Xiu.

"If I remember correctly, it is written on the map that this drainage canal can go outside the palace?"

Fang Xiu squatted at the entrance of the drain, looked at Zhao Yan, and asked with some uncertainty.

Zhao Yan thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Who would remember the location of the drain..."

Dengdengdeng-

At this time, there was another footstep of lightly armored guards.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and said, "We have no other choice, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

After speaking, he held his breath and, like before, was the first to get into the drain.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan naturally followed behind.

With the previous experience, this time it will be much better.

At least, the speed of progress is much faster.

Of course, because they were going to escape from the palace this time, the distance was much longer than before.

Zhao Yan vomited twice in the drain, but she still hasn't reached the end.

Fang Xiu heard the voice, so she had no choice but to turn her head, looked at her, lowered her voice, and comforted her: "Persist for a while, we will be there soon..."

Zhao Yan smelled the smell in the drain, and could hardly breathe, and her expression was very painful.

Even so, when he heard Fang Xiu's voice, he nodded.

Of course, she didn't speak, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would spit it out again...

After climbing in the drain for about two or three sticks of incense, I could finally see a little light in front of me.

Seeing this bright light, Fang Xiu showed joy on his face and quickened his pace. At the same time, he comforted Zhao Yan and said: "Persist for a while, the exit is ahead!"

This time, Zhao Yan has adapted a bit, and said, "Okay."

Another few minutes of climbing.

The moonlight is getting brighter and brighter, and the air is getting fresher and fresher.

In the next second, Fang Xiu finally got rid of the sewage in the drain and stood up.

only......

The scene in front of him completely stunned him.

It wasn't just him, Zhao Yan who was following behind climbed out of the drainage ditch, also looked dazed, and at the same time, a little desperate.

Not far away, the brick-red palace wall was clearly visible.

But in front of them, dozens of soldiers in light armor were looking at them, their expressions were surprisingly consistent with theirs, and the word 'muddled' was written all over them.

"you......"

A soldier stood in front of them, looked at them, startled, just about to speak, but was covered by the captain next to him.

"General Fang, is that you?"

The captain looked at Fang Xiu and asked a question.

When Fang Xiu heard this voice, he always felt a little familiar. It seemed to be... from the Shenji Camp?

"You are from the Shenji Battalion? Why are you here?"

Fang Xiu looked at these soldiers, was slightly taken aback, and asked.

When these dozens of soldiers heard his voice, their expressions changed instantly, and they seemed much more relaxed.

The school lieutenant showed even more joy, and said: "General, it really is you!

It's a long story. You left the capital for a few days, and General Liang was thrown into the dungeon for trumped-up charges.

All of us old soldiers and generals of the Shenji Battalion were also dismantled and assigned to the sixteen guards of the pro-army.

By chance, Beizhi and these brothers returned to Youba Linwei and were still stationed in the palace. "

When Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

I am afraid that King Ning knows that he and the generals of Shenji Camp are afraid that he will not be able to control Shenji Camp.

Only then did a fake imperial decree be drawn up to dismantle the Shenji Camp.

"General Fang, what happened in the palace?

But Your Majesty..."

The captain seemed to have guessed something, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked hesitantly.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "I can't tell for a while, do you have any extra official uniforms here?"

After the captain heard this, he instantly understood what his general meant, and hurriedly said, "Yes!

Erzhu, find two suitable clothes for General Fang! "

After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Xiu and said, "General, I believe in you. If you leave the palace, I would like to help you!"

Chapter 575 Master Fang, it's up to you!

Although there are King Ning's soldiers in the defense of the palace, they are mainly the eight guards of the inner city of the Qinjun Mansion. With the help of You Yu Linwei, Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan got out of the palace almost without any effort. .

Naturally, after leaving the palace, Fang Xiu did not return to Zhao Yan's courtyard in a hurry, but took Zhao Yan for a walk around the south of the city, and then returned to Lin Wanqing's courtyard following the direction in memory.

"Why did you stop me from saving my father just now?"

On the way back, Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu with a look of disappointment on her face, and asked.

From her point of view, she was so close to her father, she just had to hold on for a while longer to block the first wave of guards, and when she defeated the swordsman, she would definitely be able to rescue her father.

But......

The end result is like this.

She trusted Fang Xiu and followed him away, but it didn't mean she understood this approach.

Fang Xiu was walking on the road, when he heard this, he turned to look at her, shook his head, and asked, "Don't you feel... there is something missing between us?"

Zhao Yan was slightly taken aback, looked around for a while, and subconsciously said, "Nurse?"

Fang Xiu: "..."

Seeing Fang Xiu's expression, Zhao Yan suddenly reacted and blurted out: "It's Liu Qing! Liu Qing is gone!"

Fang Xiu shook his head, continued to walk forward, and said: "He sneaked into the palace with us, how long has it been since you forgot about him?"

"I......"

Zhao Yan was speechless when she heard this.
