old grace

After failing to catch up with the archer, Fu Chuan rushed back to kill him.

He didn't know what was going on with his uncle's body. It was true that he was heavy and weak every day, and it was also true that he vomited blood just now.There are men in black all over the mountains and plains lurking in the night behind, fearing that the uncle will suffer if he is injured.

From a distance, I saw Xie Qinghe leaning against the tree, holding a sword in his right hand, seemingly frivolously parrying the sword rushing towards him like a tide.

The sword technique is extremely exquisite.

But no matter how he looked at it, Fu Chuan felt that the uncle's physical strength was not very good, and he would drop his hand at any time.

This made Fu Chuan anxious, he ran wildly and hit the ground with his gun, a strange light suddenly appeared from the tip of the gun, splitting the ground.

The six-inch wide crack meandered upwards, and all the men in black who were close to the crack were blown away.The crack could even turn around, click, click, crack to the side of the big tree Xie Qinghe was leaning on, and turned around in an arc, and the dozen or so people who were trying to surround and kill Xie Qinghe all flew out in an instant.

Fu Chuan flew back to Xie Qinghe's side: "Uncle Master!"

Xie Qinghe saw blood on the corner of his mouth and heaving chest, frowned and said: "You haven't entered the Tao yet, don't force the gun marks."

Fu Chuan raised his hand and stabbed the man in black to death, saying, "That's all."

He has already arrived at Xie Qinghe's side, so of course there is no need to use the gun marks to fend off the enemy.Fu Chuan held the gun with both hands, the silver tip of the gun with flying red tassels, waving two beautiful lights and shadows in the night, even if there were thousands of cavalry attacking, they were covered by the shadow of his gun.

Xie Qinghe looked at the vigorous and light figure of his younger brother, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

That day in Luoma City, Fu Chuan fought so hard, and never tried to force the gun marks.Gein Fuchuan has not yet entered the Tao, once the power in the profound pool is used, it will easily cause troubles for the subsequent foundation and profound construction.

The ferocious mouth that opened on the ground was the price that the junior brother paid for overdrawing the future and wanting to protect him.

Fu Chuan felt more and more relaxed.

With his uncle behind him, he is not worried.However, why does it seem that the sword on the left side is gradually disappearing?

Taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not dangerous, he glanced sideways.

Xie Qinghe's left hand was behind his back, holding a strange hand formula, and holding a sword in his right hand, stabbing the man in black to death was like playing.

……sharp.

Fu Chuan was speechless secretly, as expected of Master's younger brother, Jiang is still old and spicy.

With Xie Qinghe sharing the pressure from the back and the left side, Fu Chuan only dealt with the enemies from the front and the right side.

fight...

Fu Chuan found out, hey, why is the sword on the right gradually not coming?

That's when things are safer.

Fu Chuan turned his head calmly and glanced to the right.

Xie Qinghe was not always there, but when the enemy on the right attacked Fu Chuan, Xie Qinghe's figure suddenly appeared.

He still holds formulas with his left hand, and only uses his right hand to hold the sword to fend off the enemy-this sword is like a magic weapon in the hands of the uncle, and he can strike wherever he points, as long as he uses the sword, it will never fail.Not a single move was wasted, and there was not even a chance to make an extra move, and the prediction was terribly accurate.

Fu Chuan didn't even care about the shock and emotion, he immediately turned his head back and knocked down the man in black in front of him!

——If you don't hurry up, the uncle may even rush to kill all the men in black in front of me.

According to Xie Qinghe's estimate, there were nearly 300 men in black who came to ambush.Except for the two teams of archers who were stabbed to death by Xie Qinghe at the beginning, more than 200 people participated in the assassination in Lin Zhong.And this siege of the man in black is not the protagonist, the cold arrow hidden in the dark is the focus of the assassination.

After the cold arrow assassination failed and fled, the man in black also quickly retreated, and the rest of them were all victims of the broken back.

This group of people had no armor or horses, and they walked through the forest, which had already reduced most of their combat power.Furthermore, Fu Chuan also had Xie Qinghe to help him.

In less than half an hour, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan killed the man in black who was left behind, leaving corpses all over the floor.

Fu Chuan seemed to be exuding the anger of fighting hard in Luoma City.Moreover, it feels great to have the help of my uncle!This battle is hearty!

He flung the spear out of the spear vigorously, and the blood stained on the tip of the spear and the red tassel was wiped off, and then he turned around and wanted to compliment the uncle: "Uncle is a good sword!" Law……"

Unexpectedly, when he approached Xie Qinghe, he was suddenly pressed on the big tree by his uncle, and his buttocks were severely knocked twice by the scabbard.

He was dumbfounded.why did you hit me?

Xie Qinghe had already let go of him, and looked down on the ground for something.

"Master Uncle." Fu Chuan was a bit unconvinced, seeing Xie Qinghe hit him as soon as he said, without a single explanation, and he was aggrieved, "What did the disciple do wrong?"

"Think about it yourself. If you can't figure it out, go smash my soy sauce bottle." Xie Qinghe bent down and picked up the white feather arrow on the ground.

Fu Chuan suddenly became even angrier.

Until Xie Qinghe turned around, he saw the arrow in Xie Qinghe's hand: "Master, wait, show me."

Xie Qinghe has already recognized that this arrow is very similar to the arrow that killed Liu Niangzi, and it is likely to come from the same person or the same organization.

It must be known that arrows are consumables. In addition to pursuing range, accuracy and lethality, one must also consider its cost.The armies of many small countries can't afford to use iron arrowheads. Every time they clean the battlefield, they have to collect the lost feather arrows. Many arrows even only sharpen the arrowheads and don't even use the arrowheads.

The arrow that killed Mrs. Liu, the snow-white arrow feathers are wrapped with gold thread, is real gold thread, and the cost is expensive.Ordinary people can't afford it.

This arrow also has a white feather wrapped with wire.Xie Qinghe saw it up close, it should be silver wire.

Silver is naturally less valuable than gold.However, when gold and silver are beaten into extremely fine silk threads, what is valuable is no longer the material itself, but the drawing process.This kind of craftsmanship is usually used to make works of art, jewelry utensils for the nobles, and playthings.

Who would put such exquisite craftsmanship on the bloody consumables-arrows-?

Fu Chuan held the arrow, looked at it for a long time, and said, "The arrow that killed my mother was also like this, but it was wrapped with gold threads."

When he was sent to Cold Mountain by Xie Qinghe, Yan Buqie had been wandering around for several years, and of course the real Yan Buqie would not know the details.

Fu Chuan didn't care about getting beaten up with his uncle right now, and analyzed: "Uncle Li has inquired for me in many ways. The gold thread on the arrow that killed my mother is very skillful, and it is almost impossible for folk craftsmen to do it." , is an inner craft.”

"It's not surprising that the craftsmanship of internal construction is placed on jewelry. Women are not allowed to participate in politics, and it is even more impossible for the royal family to allow concubines to control military power. Therefore, it is very unique to put this craftsmanship on arrows. Thinking about it, it must have an extremely close relationship with the royal family." Only noble people who have a close relationship and can control the military power alone—even a small group of people—can use such arrogant and precious arrows.” Fu Legend.

"Any clues?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"There are no clues after many years of investigation." Fu Chuan picked up the silver-threaded white-feathered arrow in his hand, "Now there are clues."

At the beginning, Xie Qinghe only took back an arrow with golden silk and white feathers, and he had never witnessed Liu Niangzi's injury, and it was impossible for him to know the skill of the archer who shot Liu Niangzi.Over the years, Fu Chuan has been checking the various forces around Emperor Long Qianshi, but there has never been any magnificent military equipment using golden silk and white feather arrows.

Today, he was besieged by thousands of riders, and another similar feathered arrow appeared. Only then did Fu Chuan know that this archer was extremely skilled, and he was probably a lone wolf.

——There is no organized small army at all, just a single archer with good skills and luxurious equipment.

"I didn't catch up with him because he had Feiyuan." Fu said.

When Fei Yuan went to the sky, Xie Qinghe was killing the enemy in the forest, firstly, there were many enemies, and secondly, because the luxuriant treetops blocked his sight, he didn't know that the archer used Fei Yuan to escape Fu Chuan's pursuit.

He thought for a while, and said: "There are not a few sects with flying kites in Jianghu. You can write a book and ask the real master."

In other words, although this person escaped in a flying kite, he might not have much relationship with the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

Xie Qinghe only found out about this when he went to Fengmogu with Shangguan Shiyi.Fu Chuan first came out of the rivers and lakes, and he saw very little, and never asked about his teacher.Shangguan Shiyi probably didn't remember it.Xie Qinghe explained: "The last time our sect gave a flying kite to a close friend of another sect was more than 100 years ago. It is usually not involved in this matter. The real head of the sect can't take care of it for a while, and it's possible that he didn't explain it to you. .”

The suspicion in Fu Chuan's heart was gradually suppressed: "After going to Anyang City, I will send a letter back to ask the master."

"You still want to go to Anyang City?" Xie Qinghe felt quite unwise, "Qian Chengqi has already come to the door, it is not appropriate to expose Xingzang at this time."

Fu Chuan thought for a while and said: "My identity is not a secret, and my mother's property in various places has gradually recovered. If the court really wants to attack me, whether I go to Anyang City or not, it will not be safe there." "He held the arrow in his hand, and his tone became complicated, "Uncle Li said, Taizu Jing is much better than in Qianyuan, the government is clear, corruption is severely punished, and business is much easier than before... I think, If he is a wise king, he shouldn't harm the people under his rule at will, right?"

Xie Qinghe was taken aback when he heard this.

If Fu Chuan didn't mention it, he didn't think about it.Thinking of what I saw and heard when I came out of the mountain this time, I have to admit that the situation is indeed getting better gradually.

He lived in seclusion in the jungle for 11 years.

When he left the mountain last time, Yun Chao bumped into robbed refugees, and for this he angrily killed several county magistrates with bad official voices.

The feeling of going out of the mountain this time is very different. There are more villages and people along the road, and there are also robbers on the road. After all, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the imperial power cannot control every inch of land. Those who farm during the day and kill at night are not exiles.

Farmers in the village can store some grain, and wealthy families can entertain passers-by with a meal. There is oil in the vegetables and livestock in the pen.

All of these changes occurred after Fu Wei ascended the throne.

"Stupid boy." Xie Qinghe patted Fu Chuan's head, "He is capable of governing the world, how much has it to do with whether he will harm the people under his rule? Those innocent people in Luoma City are not his subjects anymore? Isn't it still almost Slaughtered by Qianqiqi?"

"If he is a foolish emperor, if he kills you, someone will scold him for you. Now." Xie Qinghe couldn't help laughing, "That's the end. Such an emperor who rests with the people and benefits the world, if he wants to kill you, you must kill him." He is a heinous villain!"

"Then..." Fu Chuan was stunned, "I'm going to Anyang quickly, and dismiss all the guys from Qianzhuang and Buzhuang..."

"Did Master give you anything when you came down the mountain?" Xie Qinghe didn't realize that he had slipped his tongue.

Fu Chuan heard him say "Master" but didn't think too much about it, probably the colloquial expression of "your master" simplified to "Master".Calling a third party by your own identity is more intimate.Shangguan Shiyi gave him a lot of things, and he threw them into the Patriarch's space.However, when he was picked up by the uncle, he didn't even have a cloth strip on him, so he couldn't change the things in the space of the ancestor master out of thin air, right?

Xie Qinghe also thought of this point, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take care of this matter. You ride in the direction of Longcheng first. It would be best if you can hide your whereabouts." He emphasized this point, but he didn't say that you went to the Patriarch's Space I hid for a while, "I'll take care of the affairs of Anyang City, other places should be cleaned up, and then I'll chase you along the way."

Fu Chuan was stunned and said, "How will Master Uncle deal with this matter?"

"The head master once gave me a token when I went down the mountain. It is enough to deal with this matter. Don't worry." Xie Qinghe said.

"Zuo Fujian?" Fu Chuan asked.

Xie Qinghe already knew that the master would not let the younger brother be herded, so he passed on the Zuo Fu sword to Fu.

Fu Chuan thought that Zuo Fu Jian was the full name of this token, but it was not.There are five rune swords, which are divided into upper, lower, left, and middle.

Xie Qinghe was originally the invisible head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, and Shangguan Shiyi was too old to walk around the rivers and lakes, so when Xie Qinghe went down the mountain, he directly took the upper, middle and lower three talisman swords, because there was basically no chance of using them. I forgot to return it all these years.

The Hanjiang Sword Sect had only left and right talisman swords left. Shangguan Shiyi gave Fu Chuan a left talisman sword and held a right talisman sword himself.

Xie Qinghe didn't correct Fu Chuan's statement, as long as they both knew it was that thing: "Exactly."

"But once the talisman sword is used, the master will come down the mountain. The master said that I am not allowed to harass the master in this matter, and I should handle it myself..." Fu Chuan is extremely strict and serious about the master's orders, and he does not dare to cross the line indiscriminately just because of the favor of the master , "Uncle, I went to Anyang City to dismiss the guys by myself. After the limelight is over, I will start the business again. If I can't do it, it won't be a problem..."

"This talisman sword of mine won't disturb the real master." Xie Qinghe felt that the younger brother was not so ugly, but rather obedient.

The child didn't know how to read what Master said inside and outside the meaning.If Shangguan Shiyi really didn't allow him to harass the Shimen, how could he give him the Zuo Talisman Sword?But it's not easy to call at this time.The junior brother must have hidden the Zuo Fujian in the space of the ancestor master, and it can't be "changed" at this moment.

The two returned to the carriage, where Xiu Niang and the two children were still shivering.

Xie Qinghe replaced the second uncle with the horse of the leader of the Dragon Gang, and took out a box of sweet-scented osmanthus candies from the carriage, and handed the horse and candies to Fu Chuan: "I will come after you after finishing my work in Anyang City. If you hide it too well , I really can’t find it. Three days later, four hundred miles to the north, there is a small town called Yaji. There is an inn at the east end of the town. I haven’t been there for a long time. If the inn is gone, I will Meet at the Earth Temple."

Fu Chuan led the horse, watched Xie Qinghe saddle the second uncle, and said after a while, "Thank you, uncle."

Xie Qinghe saw that there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, sighed and said: "I hit you in a hurry just now. Fu Chuan, you are the head disciple, and your future is more important than anyone else. Don't say that at that time I have the strength to protect myself, even if I die by the sword, you should cherish yourself and avenge me in the future, and don’t forcefully use gun marks to damage your own foundation and consume the future of the sect.”

Fu Chuan pursed his lips and lowered his head, it seemed that he was still unconvinced, but he didn't want to talk back to his uncle.

"You are the direct descendant of the head of the sect, I shouldn't have hit you." Seeing his angry appearance, Xie Qinghe felt somewhat regretful, bowed his head and apologized.

"Whether I am the direct descendant of the head of the sect has nothing to do with whether the uncle should beat me. As long as I am not the head of the sect for a day, the uncle is qualified to discipline me. Even if I inherit the position of the head, the uncle will criticize me No, I should also go to the Patriarch Hall to kneel and repent." Fu Chuan suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage, regardless of Xiu Niang and the two children who were hugging the trembling hair, after searching for a long time, he suddenly remembered that the condiment box was outside!

He turned back again, found the condiment box by the campfire, first picked up the soy sauce bottle, and slammed it on the ground.

The veins on Xie Qinghe's forehead bulged.

Fu Chuan picked up the vinegar bottle again, and smashed it to pieces.

……

After he smashed all the porcelain bottles in the condiment box, he turned over and climbed on the back of the second uncle's horse, and said angrily: "I will save you! How I build foundations and mysteries in the future is none of your business! Next time Hit me again for this, I... I'll drop your spice box too!"

Probably because he was afraid that Xie Qinghe would turn his back on him, and he was even more afraid that Xie Qinghe would catch up and beat him twice. Would that mean shrinking his head and being beaten?Or violent resistance?

Holding the gun in one hand, Fu Chuan lightly clamped the horse's belly: "Drive, drive, second uncle, run!"

Xie Qinghe was so angry that his liver hurt when the kid was in a temper, and Xie Qinghe couldn't laugh or cry when he fled.

Seeing Fu Chuan galloping wildly all the way, he couldn't help reminding: "I won't chase you, ride slowly."

As soon as the words fell, it was visible to the naked eye... the second uncle ran even faster.
