Chapter 598 Man
It's not afraid of being lured away from the mountain.
This makes a lot of sense.
But the Blind Man could only force a smile and say:
"But aren't you putting him in even more danger?"
Tian Tian's identity is esteemed,
Not only because he is Tian Wujing's son,
To be honest,
Even if the Jingnan King wasn't the Jingnan King anymore,
Just the fact that his godfather is our Lord,
Absolutely nothing can happen to this child's safety.
If it were a matter of weighing pros and cons, there would always be a price that could be discussed, but the problem is, once human sentiment is involved, there's no room for negotiation at all.
"Without experiencing a dust storm... you can't become a wolf."
This is a proverb in the desert, and also a parenting motto of the barbarian tribes.
Actually,
Letting Tian Tian experience some things is something that even those who care about and dote on him the most cannot refuse with mere words and reasoning.
Because he is the adopted son of the Earl of Pingye, he is the legitimate son of the Jingnan King.
His background,
Lies here,
If it were in the West,
When Tian Tian grows up,
Even if he dresses in rags,
He can still carry a saber,
And proudly shout:
"I am a descendant of the Tian family, a century-old lineage of the Great Yan, the legitimate son of the Jingnan King of the Great Yan, and the adopted son of the Marquis of Pingxi in Jinyuan and Guardian of the Snowy Plains, and the Prince Consort of the Chu Kingdom."
Only...
The Blind Man could only say with some reluctance:
"He's still too young after all."
The child is still too young, far from the time when he needs to be tempered.
At the very least,
He can wield a blade,
Paired with a Demon King companion,
Paired with a demonic beast by his side,
And a magical artifact in his embrace,
Best of all,
Within fifty *li*, there is a three-thousand-strong Snow Sea Iron Cavalry force in support,
In this situation,
It is most suitable for tempering.
Sha Tuo Queshi's reaction was very direct and simple,
He grabbed Tian Tian with one hand,
And sent him in front of the Blind Man.
Tian Tian was a little puzzled.
The Blind Man pursed his lips, did not take the child,
And said:
"After luring the tiger away from the mountain, there should still be a few cockroaches at home."
There are still cockroaches at home; since the establishment of the Snow Sea Pass, various parties have not hesitated to add sand to it.
The Blind Man has grasped a part, and also eliminated a part, but he can't guarantee that it is foolproof.
If Sha Tuo Queshi leaves the city,
With Tian Tian in front of him,
Unless he immediately mobilizes eight hundred armored soldiers to guard this courtyard around the clock,
Otherwise, he has no confidence at all.
The safest way is for Sha Tuo Queshi to continue to stay here, responding to all changes with constancy.
No matter how strong the attacker is,
You can't possibly attack a city alone, right?
But the problem is,
Sha Tuo Queshi seems reluctant to face it in such a passive way,
Or perhaps,
He wants to go out and take a look,
After all,
The dignified Left Guli King of the barbarians has been lying in the coffin for too long.
Helpless,
The Blind Man could only step forward and send a small purple flag into Tian Tian's hand, then stepped back half a step,
And said:
"I'll follow up later."
Sha Tuo Queshi put Tian Tian back on his shoulder,
Tian Tian hugged Sha Tuo Queshi's neck excitedly, laughing "giggle," and waving the small flag that the Blind Man gave him with the other hand.
Back then,
The Wild Man King was locked next to Sha Tuo Queshi,
Enduring the erosion of baleful aura every night,
Almost killing him;
But Tian Tian has no reaction to these things at all.
Sha Tuo Queshi closed his eyes, facing the southwest direction.
"Bang!"
His whole body soared up, like an arrow leaving the string, shooting out.
Each time he lands,
He smashes onto the eaves or the walls,
Seemingly fierce,
But actually ghostly.
This kind of movement naturally alarmed many sentries and patrolling armored soldiers, but after seeing the flag waved by the child, these armored soldiers put down their bows, crossbows, and sabers.
In the courtyard,
The Blind Man faces the Princess and Liu Ruqing,
And said:
"Please stay here, Your Highness and Miss Liu."
At this time,
A team of guards rushed in, and then, facing outwards, formed several circles.
The Princess and Liu Ruqing stood inside, and the green python also swam over, coiled its body, and formed another circle.
The Blind Man ordered:
"Anyone around who dares to turn around will be killed without mercy!"
The meaning is, if any of the brothers beside you dares to turn around and face the ladies inside, you will immediately draw your saber and kill him.
It's not that the ladies inside would be greatly offended by being looked at,
But for the sake of safety,
No one knows if there are any spies from other families in this guard.
Because no one can make an absolute conclusion about this kind of thing.
The Princess has seen battles after all, she doesn't ask, doesn't panic, and isn't flustered, she sits down directly.
Her left hand is spread out,
And she says:
"Serve tea."
The somewhat flustered Liu Ruqing then calmed down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and sent it to the Princess's hand.
"Mr. Bei, go ahead and do your work, the Young Master is important."
The Blind Man bowed slightly, responded, and then turned and left.
The Princess is right, the Young Master is important.
She didn't compete with that child for favor or importance,
Not because she is an adult,
But because... she can't compete at all.
Fortunately, she also understands a truth, a truth that her mother told her a long time ago, usually, a woman's coquetry is a pleasure, but it must be done at the right time.
Looking at the tea that Liu Ruqing served in her hand,
The Princess pursed her lips,
There were no extra emotions in her eyes.
This,
Should be the last wave.
When her husband returns victoriously, when the territory is opened up, when the Marquis's mansion is established, everything should be on the right track.
Closing her eyes,
Taking a breath,
The Princess handed the teacup back to Liu Ruqing, who reached out and took it, and asked:
"Is the tea cold?"
The Princess shook her head,
She smiled,
And said:
"I was just thinking about what he would do if he were sitting here at this time."
The "he" here definitely refers to Zheng Boye.
Liu Ruqing was silent.
The Princess asked and answered herself:
"He would have you sing that little tune, leisurely stroking along with the harmony."
"Princess, would you like to listen?"
The Princess shook her head again,
And said:
"He really has that kind of leisure, I don't, pretending would just be like a monkey in a crown, it's meaningless."
Then,
The Princess's gaze swept over the guards who were facing away from her and on alert,
And she shouted:
"Thank you brothers for your hard work, after today, I will use my private treasury to invite you to drink and enjoy yourselves."
The Princess has money,
And it's her own money,
At the beginning of the year,
When she was taken by Zheng Fan to Yan Jing to be conferred,
The Chu Kingdom sent an unnamed delegation to the Snow Sea Pass, sending some of the Princess's belongings, which naturally included some money.
The surrounding guards immediately shouted:
"Thank you for the Lady's reward!"
"Thank you for the Lady's reward!"
………
Outside the city,
The masked man in blue escaped the pursuit of the Snow Sea cavalry all the way.
His movements are very fast, and he should be extremely familiar with the surrounding environment, which should have been worked on.
Most importantly,
His strength,
Should be Upper Fourth Rank.
A powerhouse who has reached this level already has the capital to "stroll leisurely."
That is, they cannot be captured in the traditional sense.
Either the trained spies under Xue San's command are used to scout and encircle, or fixed powerhouses are used to track, or more troops are mobilized to search.
In short, the right medicine must be used to achieve real results.
If you can't beat them, you shouldn't be slower than them at running away, right?
Unless you are really unlucky and are trapped in the wilderness, otherwise, it is very difficult to easily capture someone of his level.
Actually,
The main reason is that the main force of the Snow Sea Pass was taken to the front line by Zheng Boye, and the defense force at home is already weak, so it is really impossible to dispatch more than a thousand cavalry at once to conduct a carpet search for one person.
The masked man in blue saw that the pursuers behind him were thrown off,
And sat down,
Untied his veil,
Revealing a man's face.
The man's left face looks fairly handsome, but on his right face, there is a terrifying scar that looks like a long centipede crawling on his face.
Beside him,
There is a saber and a sword.
After sitting down,
He untied his waterskin, took a sip of water, squinted his eyes, and the bones of his body began to crack, which was him massaging his own muscles to relieve fatigue.
This is a very meticulous powerhouse, a guy who regards himself as a siege crossbow or a ladder to heaven and pays great attention to the details of his body. This kind of powerhouse cannot be cultivated in the *jianghu* (martial world).
This is also the reason why the Sword Saint was initially concerned about losing to Tian Wujing.
*Jianghu* duels,
Are either one-on-one fights, or many people bullying a few, the battle methods are very extreme, moreover, *jianghu* people must have *jianghu* spirit;
This *jianghu* spirit is reflected in... the word demeanor.
Sometimes they swing out a string of sword flowers, making the watching female heroes yearn;
Sometimes they deliberately bombard out two more palms, blasting open two holes, making people admire and exclaim;
*Jianghu* is *jianghu*,
The fighting and killing are often a small group of people, most of them are actually watching the excitement.
And those who, like the man in blue, regard themselves as a weapon of war, either come from an assassination sect with more than a hundred years of *jianghu* heritage, or from an *yamen* (government office) of a certain country's court.
And the former, although they are *jianghu* sects, often have the shadow of their respective domestic *yamen* behind them.
*Jianghu* is also a paste,
How can it be so clear?
For example, the Xinian Manor of the Chu Kingdom.
And while the man in blue was recuperating,
In front of him, a pit appeared on the ground, as if quicksand was sinking, and then, an old man in sackcloth stood up from inside.
"Which family?" the old man asked.
The man in blue did not answer.
"Perhaps, we are from the same family." The old man said again.
The man in blue remained silent.
"Since we came on the same day, there is a high probability that there is one employer behind us, even if there is not one employer behind us, there should be the same big employer behind the employers."
The old man seemed to be reciting a jingle.
The man in blue's eyes sank slightly,
And he said:
"Noisy."
"Okay, you are arrogant, but rushing in so hard and running away so hard, do you really think that the subordinates left behind by Zheng Boye in the Snow Sea Pass are fools, can't they see through your clumsy trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain that even I can't stand?"
The man in blue was silent again.
"Although we all know that there should still be sleeper agents in the Snow Sea Pass, but where is there anyone who does things like you?"
The man in blue stretched out his left hand and picked up the sword.
"Yo."
The old man took a few steps back,
Obviously,
He doesn't want to fight this person,
Especially since the two of them are likely to be here for the same purpose.
"I have guessed what your identity is, using both a saber and a sword, from Wenming Mountain in the Liang Kingdom?"
In Wenming Mountain in the Liang Kingdom, there is a sect, and it is said that the disciples of this sect cultivate both the saber and the sword.
Of course, this is the appearance, the deeper purpose is that this sect attempts to create a near-flawless powerhouse with the sharpness of a swordsman and the physique of a martial artist.
It's a pity that most of the disciples of this sect have mediocre futures, and they have not been able to make a name for themselves in the *jianghu*.
However, because the founder of this sect was the younger brother of the founding emperor of the Liang Kingdom, he was obsessed with martial arts since he was a child and was too lazy to compete for the throne, so he went to Wenming Mountain to establish a sect. Although the Liang Kingdom is a small country, it is still a country, with this relationship with the royal family, this sect has been passed down.
At the beginning of the year, Zheng Boye robbed the Princess and ran away, and the Chu army was deceived to the Qishan area. Because the Liang Kingdom had just undergone a coup d'état, abolishing the emperor with the blood of the Chu royal family, due to a misunderstanding, the Liang Kingdom preemptively ambushed the Chu army that was originally used to pursue Xue San.
Therefore,
When later historians wrote history to record this war between Yan and Chu,
The starting point was not the Chu assassin disguised as a musician assassinating the Yan Emperor, but should have been the ambush in the Qishan Mountains.
Because Xue San immediately led the Yan army to help the two countries fight the Chu people, and then a Yan cavalry from Nangan Pass went south into the Liang Kingdom to help resist the Chu.
Misunderstandings, etc., even if later generations see this statement, they will probably not believe it, and will naturally think that the Liang Kingdom, an affiliated country of the Yan Kingdom, understood the meaning of the suzerain state of Yan and took the lead in creating incidents on the border, kicking off the prelude to the Yan-Chu War.
Xue San was also appointed as a general by the new monarch of the Liang Kingdom there. At that time, a bunch of *jianghu* people also came down from Wenming Mountain to help the Liang Kingdom resist the Chu army.
Xue San's view of these *jianghu* people was... nondescript.
If they are used as sharp knives, they are not sharp enough;
If they are used as ordinary soldiers, they don't understand military formations;
The only advantage lies in,
These people who came down from Wenming Mountain,
Each of them is equipped with a saber and a sword,
That's good,
Each person took out a saber or a sword and contributed it to those Liang civilian husbands who had no weapons.
Seeing that his family had been named,
The man in blue looked at the old man,
And said:
"The sand dune mole rat from Beifeng County actually ran here."
The old man came from the Shiqiu Gate in Beifeng County. This sect is actually similar to the position of Xinian Manor in the Chu Kingdom. On the surface, it is a *jianghu* sect, but in fact, it has a *yamen* background behind it.
The disciples of the Shiqiu Gate are good at movement and escape techniques. The outside world often believes that the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion is behind them, because throughout the generations, disciples of the Shiqiu Gate have served as scouts in the Zhenbei Army.
"Tsk tsk, so we shouldn't have appeared here." The old man said with emotion, "If our identities are exposed, the sect will suffer because of it."
Powerhouses,
Do not pop out of the cracks in the stones.
To be precise, in any industry, if you want to reach the top and stand in the forefront of the sequence, the more it cannot be separated from the support of background.
Secret manuals, cultivation methods, famous teachers, experience, etc., etc., only with a sect behind you can you use the sect's resources to pile up experts.
Among the four great swordsmen, Li Liang Shen is the adopted son of the Zhenbei Marquis, Baili Jian is a large family in the Qian Kingdom, and the swordmaker is a great noble in the Chu Kingdom. The only one who came from the grassroots and was brought up by a master was the Jindi Sword Saint.
Therefore, in general, experts above the Fourth Rank, unless there is an extreme situation like the Jindi Sword Saint, otherwise they basically have a background, a sect, and a family.
And once the identities of these two people are exposed,
Next,
What will be drawn down,
Must be their respective sects.
In the great victory over Chu,
With the Jingnan King's anger,
The monarch and ministers of the Liang Kingdom are estimated to immediately send troops to attack Wenming Mountain, and the Zhenbei Army will inevitably encircle and suppress the Shiqiu Gate.
*Jianghu* sects seem glamorous, but in the face of war, they are ultimately not up to par.
This is also the reason why the Sword Saint can freely kill Situ's old patriarch. He is a special case, he has no sect, so he has no weakness, no scruples, and no constraints.
However, the man in blue smiled:
"Isn't that just right?"
"Tsk tsk." The old man smacked his lips, "It's really like me, is he a traitor to the sect?"
A traitor to the sect does not need to care about the life or death of the sect, and it is even better if the sect is destroyed.
However,
Just then,
A black figure fell like a boulder,
With a "bang,"
It smashed down in a position less than twenty *zhang* away from the two of them.
After the dust dissipated,
Sha Tuo Queshi, dressed in black, was revealed.
The man in blue held a sword in his left hand and a saber in his right hand, and stood up.
The old man faced that side, his eyes slightly condensed,
And said:
"Interesting, interesting, the aura keeps swinging between the Fourth Rank and the Third Rank, it should be the feeling of being injured and falling, but there is no sign of injury."
"There is no qi and blood fluctuation on his body, only aura." The man in blue said.
In a zombie's body,
How can there be such a thing as qi and blood?
Ordinary people rely on qi and blood to motivate, zombies rely on baleful aura.
"Phew, they all say that the Pingye Earl's mansion is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and the Jindi Sword Saint has also been recruited by the Pingye Earl, and there are countless other experts.
Right now, the Sword Saint should be fighting the Chu Kingdom with the Pingye Earl;
What's going on,
A dignified Third Rank expert,
At the Pingye Earl's place,
Is like selling cabbage,
Pull one out and there's another one?"
A Third Rank expert is able to enjoy a dignified life even in front of the monarch.
Not to mention that the Pingye Earl has not yet been conferred the title of Marquis, even if he is conferred the title of Marquis, without the support of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion for a hundred years, according to common sense, it is impossible to gather and cultivate so many Third Rank experts!
And,
The Jindi Sword Saint,
That is not an ordinary Third Rank at all!
The man in blue then said:
"That's also good, if we lure one out, the people inside should be able to get their hands on it more easily."
Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly,
And said:
"That's right, I don't believe that there will still be a Third Rank expert sitting in the Snow Sea Pass, hehe………"
"Ugh……"
At this time,
A small head poked out from Sha Tuo Queshi's shoulder,
Tian Tian climbed up with great difficulty,
His left hand hugged Sha Tuo Queshi's neck, his right leg crossed his shoulder. Fortunately, although his arms and legs were short, they were very strong, and when the Magic Pill was around, he often played somersault games with him, so he really climbed up again and sat on it.
"Huff…………huff……………"
The fat baby gasped for breath,
At the same time,
His black agate-like eyes looked at the two people in front of him.
"………" The man in blue.
"………" The old man.
Looking at the posture of this baby sitting on the shoulders of a powerhouse, looking at the exquisiteness of the baby's clothes, looking at the aura on this baby that is almost overflowing.
A bold guess,
Emerges in the hearts of the two of them.
So,
The two of them are busy attracting the attention of the Snow Sea Pass, so as to create an opportunity for their hidden internal response in the Snow Sea Pass, although they don't know who, to catch that baby.
As a result,
The hidden expert in the Snow Sea Pass,
Actually took that baby and chased them out.
Sha Tuo Queshi stretched out his hand,
Pointed at the two people in front,
And said:
"Which………one………"
For a time,
Both the man in blue and the old man sensed a surging killing intent.
Tian Tian sucked on his left index finger,
His gaze swept over the man in blue and the old man;
Finally,
It fell on the saber in the man in blue's hand.
When Godfather is at home,
He likes to sit on the steps with Magic Pill and watch Godfather practice the saber there every day. After practicing the saber, Godfather, covered in sweat, would hug him and Magic Pill together to take a bath.
So, the little guy is very fascinated by the saber, because his Godfather uses the saber.
Therefore, the little guy also rejected the Sword Saint's inquiry about accepting him as a disciple.
Because once,
After seeing his Godfather practicing the saber,
He spat disdainfully at the neighbor next door:
"What's so great about practicing the sword, only women practice the sword."
Tian Tian doesn't know what "women" are, and he hasn't reached the age where he needs to understand "women";
But he knows,
In his Godfather's meaning,
The saber,
Is the best!
So,
Tian Tian stretched out his little fat hand,
Pointed at the man in blue,
And said:
"The one with the saber………"
"Clang!"
The man in blue dropped the saber,
And changed to holding only the sword,
His face was calm and extremely calm.
"Ugh………"
Tian Tian fell into deep thought, the one who originally had the saber now doesn't have the saber, he fell into a dilemma.
At this time,
He thought of how his Godfather teased him with two kinds of snacks every time, asking him which one he wanted,
He always hesitated,
Because he wanted to taste both kinds of snacks, and he also wanted to save them.
And whenever he was in trouble,
Godfather would teach him like that;
It can only be said that parents are the first teachers of children, and also the objects that children imitate.
At this time,
Tian Tian suddenly clenched his little fleshy fist,
Imitating his Godfather's tone,
And he said:
"Both of them, I want both!"
