The prince is very fierce

Xu Buling held the sword in one hand, clamped the tip of the sword between the fingers of his left hand, and looked at the swordsman in front of him.

He learned the sword 'Shake the Mountain' because Old Situ said that there are people in the world who can break the chain sword.

This sword was originally prepared as a trump card for Eunuch Jia, Li Hansheng, and Zuo Qingqiu to kill Pu Di. In fact, there was no need to use this move.

But all swordsmen, especially outstanding swordsmen, pay attention to being "clean and neat".

When you meet a worthy opponent, if you don't demonstrate your knowledge to the fullest, you will neither respect your opponent nor your own martial arts.

After all, there were too few opponents who could make Xu Buling go all out. Dayue is almost dead. Whether there will be more in the future is still unknown. Kill one and lose one.

Xu Buling took back the long knife from Pu Di's head and held it upside down in his hand, his eyes flat:

"My skills are good, but it has been neglected for too long. It is a pity."

Pu Di's chest was bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel anything. He put the sword back into its scabbard and looked at Xu Buring's sword:

"Good swordsmanship, is this a mountain-shaking thing?"

Xu Buling nodded: "Are you Pu Di? Nanyue can use swords so well. It seems that the Nanyue swordsman was the best swordsman twenty years ago. I heard about it from Mr. Storyteller, and I thought you would have died long ago. After all, he was a genius of the younger generation, how did he become like this? "

Pu Di held up the sword and looked at the stab wound on his chest. He was definitely dead. He was silent for a moment and sighed softly:

"Drink?"

Xu Buling put the drunken bamboo sword back into the scabbard behind his back and turned towards Guifei Street.

Pu Di took off the face towel, wiped the rain off his face, and tied up his scattered gray hair.

Guifei Street was not far from the city wall. The two of them walked silently through the alley until they came to the back door of the old tavern.

Pu Di untied his raincoat and hung it on the wall, opened the back door, and two people entered, leaving a trail of blood behind them.

The candles were lit, and the old tavern, which had not changed in twenty years, became a little brighter. The door was closed, and the noise from the mansion opposite could still be vaguely heard.

Xu Buling sat down at the wine table, untied his face towel, and wiped the rain off his face.

Pu Di returned to the same appearance as the waiter he had been for twenty years. He no longer had any momentum. After warming a pot of wine on the stove, he took it to the opposite side of the wine table and sat down. He poured a bowl for himself and another for Xu Buling. I picked up a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Buling said nothing. After taking a sip of wine, he looked at Pu Di calmly.

After a bowl of wine, Pu Di's face gained a little more color. He looked at the candlelight for a long time and then said softly:

"More than twenty years ago, I was working in the Jianghu in Nanyue and became famous. Once I passed by Lingshan County and met a little girl. She was a beautiful girl from the magistrate's family in Lingshan County."

Xu Buling naturally understood who the girl was, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "Then what?"

Pu Di shook his head: "We fell in love at first sight, and we often met secretly in Lingshan. We stayed with her from the time she was fifteen until she was seventeen. We made a lifelong commitment to each other, and agreed that in the autumn of the year she turned seventeen, we would go out and wander around the world together. The result was That day, she broke the appointment. I waited on Lingshan for a long time, couldn't bear it, and ran to her house to find him. It turned out that she was already getting married, so she only gave me a letter. "

Pu Di picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes a little red.

Xu Buling listened quietly and said softly: "What does the letter say?"

"The letter only said that I wanted to enter the palace, and that we would no longer have contact with each other. I wished that I would be successful in the world. I was young and arrogant at the time, so I didn't go to see her and ran away to the Central Plains.

I actually regretted it after I left, but I couldn't bear to go back, so I focused on practicing my sword without thinking about it. I have traveled ten thousand miles and practiced a million swords. He practiced walking, eating, and even dreaming. He even risked his life for the sword. It took him three years to learn the sword of Zhu Lu and Cao Sanjia, and he was in the limelight for a while.

After waiting for success and fame, I found that I still couldn't forget her. I felt that what happened back then was too hasty and I had to listen to her face to face, so I returned to South Vietnam. "

Xu Buling sighed: "What then?"

Pu Di's eyes were full of sadness: "Then, I came to the capital and found out that she often came to this tavern. I just waited here. That day, she was sitting at this table. I showed my face at the window, She came to the alley behind alone.

When we meet again, things have changed. I asked her about the letter, and she said that her father forced her to get married and locked her up. Her father is from Bai Chong Valley, and I was afraid that her father would embarrass me, so I could only write this letter to deceive her father. She is not such a heartless person. She thought that I could understand her situation and would secretly run to find her. I didn’t expect that I would just leave and never come back.

At that time, I spoke to her very calmly and seemed to look away.

I actually felt very guilty. I had no face to face her, didn't say anything, and walked away alone.

But I didn't expect that after she returned to the palace, she would soon die in depression. A few days before her death, she would come to the tavern every day to wait.

Later I realized that she had been in the palace all these years, waiting for me to take her away, and I had done nothing when I came back. She had no hope, so naturally she couldn’t survive..."

Pu Di's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was already bursting into tears before he knew it.

Xu Buling was silent for a moment, then picked up the wine bowl and took a sip:

"Then it's your fault. I really can't say anything about other girls."

Pu Di fell silent and did not answer. He turned his head and looked at the closed window. Opposite the window was Chen Ju's mansion:

"Now, she only has one son alive in the world, and the only person related to her is this son. I can die, but her son can't. What on earth are you going to do?"

Xu Buling thought for a moment: "Someone wants to attack me. If we want to find out, we need to find a few people. He was caught by the Hundred Insects Valley."

Pu Di shook his head: "Chen Ju is a cautious person. It is difficult for him to manage things alone. No matter whether it is a big or small matter in the court or the country, it is arranged by An Guogong Zhou Qin behind the scenes. He can't refuse it whether he agrees or not. He knows the existence of the Hundred Insects Valley, but never asks about it. Even if you attack him, you can't get anything out of him."

Xu Buling put down the wine bowl: "If that's the case, I'll spare his life."

Pu Qiu poured another bowl of wine, drank it all, looked at the candlelight on the table, and said nothing.

Xu Buling looked at the window, a little absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Tick-tock

Tick-tock

The knife wound on Pu Di's chest was so deep that the bone was visible. It was difficult to heal. He kept bleeding. The blood flowed from his clothes to the stool, then slid to the ground, and seeped into the gaps in the floor.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, your blood will always run dry.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft "dong" sound was heard in the quiet old tavern.

Pu Di seemed to be drunk and fell on the table, holding two strands of hair tied with a red rope in his hand.

Xu Buling sighed softly, stood up, raised his hand and touched Pu Di's neck. After confirming that he was dead, he turned and walked out of the old tavern.

The wind and rain were still outside the door, and the wine banners and street lanterns were swaying under the eaves.

The old tavern seemed to have not changed at all, but after one person was missing, it was no longer the old tavern before.

Xu Buling came to the front street, looked at the sign of "Nian Ningxuan", hesitated for a long time, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the imperial city.
