Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 87: Knife sharpening
Chapter 87 Sharpening the Knife
After leaving the restaurant, the rain stopped, and Zhao Changhe felt a little better. He saw that his beloved horse was eating comfortably, and there was no such thing as horse stealing, and he was in a better mood.
If you think about it carefully, of course no one would dare to steal a horse without looking at the terrifying knife he carries on his back...
Zhao Changhe rewarded the waiter with a broken piece of silver and was about to lift his foot to step on. Suddenly he remembered something and put his foot down again. He leaned over and carefully checked the stirrups and saddle for foreign objects.
The Cui family has lived a comfortable life and almost forgot these skills.
After careful inspection, it was not found. Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief and got on his horse.
The middle-aged man from the Demon Suppression Department had been standing at the door looking at him. He showed appreciation when he saw this, and handed over a page: "This is Han Wubing's information."
Zhao Changhe was not polite and took it directly: "Thank you."
The middle-aged man said: "I am going to suppress the Demon Commander Wu Weiyang. Maybe we will meet again in the future. As for the turmoil here, the Demon Demon Commander will not take action. Please be careful along the way."
After speaking, the figure flashed and disappeared.
At this speed, at least the seventh or eighth level of the entrance hall... The Demon Suppressor still has some skills. Zhao Changhe didn't feel much. The ninth person on the list had already had tea in front of him, so he didn't care about this.
He actually felt that Wu Weiyang's words were a bit suggestive. He would not take action in the event of a storm and would be careful along the way. But what would happen after that? If you need help with something at that time, can you contact the local demon-suppressing company?
Zhao Changhe didn't think about this for the time being. He rode Tuxue Wuzui and walked slowly along the official road. He opened the information given by Wu Weiyang in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Han Wubing, nineteen years old this year... is actually younger than him. He was so cold-hearted and could not be seen in the ruined temple before.
He was originally an ordinary disciple of Bashan Sword House, but his qualifications were not outstanding. Because of his hard work in practicing swordsmanship, he was considered to be a middle-class disciple. He is taciturn and only likes to practice swordsmanship, so his popularity is average and his sense of presence is not high.
Three years ago, everyone from Jianlu came to the Ancient Sword Lake to try their luck, looking for the legendary ancient sword left over from the previous era. Han Wubing was at the third level of the entrance hall and followed the team.
The reason why the legend of the divine sword in Gujian Lake has always been in the market is not just because it is passed down from ancient times, but also because it emits supernatural power. Occasionally, amazing sword energy rises from the lake, and those who come to look for the sword are often killed inexplicably. Here it is. But after further investigation, I found nothing. It was completely baffling, and I didn't even know where the sword energy came from.
Because of this, everyone believes that there is magic here, but no force is willing to stay here to search for swords for fear of dying inexplicably. Therefore, no one has ever booked the ancient sword lake, but those who occasionally come to try their luck have never reserved it over the years. Never stopped.
But after so many years, nothing can be found. Cui Yuanyang also said before that the Cui family organized people to search for it many times but still couldn't find it. Cui Wen? Z's intellectual and military forces are the first in the world. He can't find it, and others are even more hopeless. Therefore, the larger forces have gradually given up looking for this thing, feeling that it is a waste of time.
The big power is gone, but the people in the world who want to try their luck are still coming one after another. No one dares to live by the lake, but Jianhu City, which is more than ten miles away, is extremely prosperous and lively. The number of inns, brothels, pubs and casinos is probably the most in the world, more than the capital, because there are too many outsiders.
This has created a place with a large number of forces and a mixture of good and bad. The level of complexity is indeed not something that a newcomer with a third or fourth level of entrance hall can casually play in.
Han Wubing was with the team at that time. Of course, he was just going out with his elders and brothers to gain experience. It could also be regarded as a martial arts experience organized by Jianlu. He was not well-connected and did not go with his brothers, so he searched alone by the lake. However, he unexpectedly met a good friend. When they saw that they seemed to be compatible, they went together to search together.
As for whether there is any reason for this, why a person who is not popular can hit it off with someone else, the intelligence information of the Demon Suppression Division cannot be as detailed as this, after all, the person involved, Han Wubing, will not accept it. In your interview, you can only give it a passing mention.
The ancient sword was not found, but Han Wubing and his friend were lucky enough to find the body of a senior who had died here, and got some swordsmanship inheritance and a sword, which the friend divided Sword, Han Wubing shared the secret book, and everyone was happy.
As a result, the senior fellow apprentices from Jianlu met and bullied others, saying that this should be the thing of Jianlu, whether it was a sword or a secret book.
In the end, his friend was killed and the sword was taken away. Han Wuyi angrily tore up the secret book and left the sword house. From then on, he wandered around the world, became more taciturn, and made a living as a bounty hunter.
The incident was very simple, and there was no exaggeration in the records given by the Demon-Suppressing Division. They just explained the situation dryly. Zhao Changhe couldn't arouse his emotions. He secretly said that Han Wubing's story, which he had been curious about for a long time, actually belongs to Jianghu and can be found everywhere. The story, in which he seizes treasures and kills people using his power, and his children run away in anger, is a template that was only used ten years ago when starting the book.
But having said that, Han Wubing is very loyal. He tried his sword in three years, went to the fifth level of the entrance hall, worshiped the tomb during the Qingming Festival, and killed all his enemies. It was a great pleasure.
Zhao Changhe couldn't help but open the wine gourd and took a sip: "It's so nice that such an opponent invites you to fight, which makes people look forward to it... Unlike those monsters and monsters, even if the road is paved along the way, they are just like flies. Annoying."
After saying this, he put away the gourd, suddenly flicked his hand, and a copper coin whizzed out.
On the treetops on the roadside, someone suddenly screamed and fell from the tree.
"Do you really think that I am so absorbed in reading that I don't even know that someone is coming?" Zhao Changhe laughed loudly and rode away: "A knife from the sky? It's nothing more than a whetstone!"
"Whoosh!" Several sword lights burst out in front of him, and the sword energy roared sharply, piercing the door directly in front of him.
As Zhao Changhe galloped forward, he reached back and grasped the handle of the knife protruding from his shoulder.
When the sword arrives, the horse arrives.
"Choke!" The dragon bird unsheathed its sword and swung it furiously.
The attacking assassins were all horrified, but how could a person in mid-air avoid a knife with such a wide range?
Several long swords were placed on the path of the sword, and a crushing sound was heard. The swords were broken and blood rained all over the sky.
Tuxue Wuzui sprinted through the broken limbs and arms, with blood raining all over the sky behind him, and the Great Xia dragon bird screamed excitedly.
There are assassins ahead who want to take action, but everyone is dumbfounded looking at this scene. How can they dare to move?
A little further away, it seemed like someone was ambushing me and pulling up a snagging rope.
Zhao Changhe saw it with sharp eyes, turned his horse and rushed straight to the road.
Before the man had time to pull up the rope, Taxue Wuzui's charging speed was far beyond his expectation. Before he even raised his hand, the horse was already in front of him.
The blade length and attack range exceeded expectations... The people behind watched helplessly as a dark red arc passed through, and with a "Kacha" sound, the sword cut in two.
Only half of the body was left. He was still holding one end of the trip rope and stood there stupidly. Wu Zui had already jumped out more than ten feet away.
"It doesn't matter whether you are the Blood God Cult, Tingxue Tower, or Xiao Xiao who snatches horses and swords..." Zhao Changhe put away his sword and jumped on his horse, laughing and left: "I will not hide my whereabouts along the way, just come if you want! ”
Wu Weiyang stood at the back and looked into the distance, tut-tutting: "With such bravery, the leader is actually worried that he is in danger on the road... This person said he didn't want our help, but he was already excited in his heart, fearing that others would not be strong enough. ."
A subordinate next to him sighed: "If such a person does not fall into the world early, he will definitely dominate the world."
Wu Weiyang did not answer, knowing the subtext of his subordinates.
The chance of such a person dying is still relatively high... But remembering Zhao Changhe's careful inspection before mounting his horse, Wu Weiyang still felt that this person would not die.
Although he is bold and heroic, he is serious at heart. He really thinks he is a reckless man. Now the grass on his grave is already three feet high.
"Go back and report to the Chief. I wonder if she will really come to see you in person." Wu Weiyang muttered with some confusion: "It's strange that the Chief's attention to this person is somewhat extraordinary."
Thanks to Brother Dafu for the silver. Thanks to Four Seasons? Spring Bear, Nana, Yingshuang, Lulu, Wuli Liusu, Mu Zhiqiu, Nancheng Yu Jingxian Beigui brothers for joining the alliance, it has exceeded 100 alliances in two days since it was released, which is really beyond expectations. Now that your **** is stuck out, come on everyone.
