Hypocrites

Chao people's country is flattened under the hooves of horses. Their warlike and restless nature needs to be comforted with the blood of the enemy.The water of the Zhuojiang River is three thousand miles long, and it can't reach the horse's knees on the north bank. Whenever there are disputes and fights, it is Bei Chao who is unwilling to be lonely again.

One winter five or six years ago, the climate was extremely cold, Zhuo River froze into ice, and the northerners took the opportunity to cross the south of the Yangtze River.Liang Huang led five armies to resist on the opposite bank. Linjiang City was the first to bear the brunt. The army and civilians fought fiercely for days without sleep, and the blood dripped on the city wall and solidified into dark red paint.

In order to cope with Chao Ren's sudden head-on attack, at that time, the troops stationed in the other three cities all left their camps.The four towns in southern Sichuan were built in a row, with Linjiang City at the forefront, and Tianmen Town at the rear. Originally, people from the north were not allowed to stay in Linjiang City, so the rear was almost unhindered.However, one night late at night, Lin Zhu, who was resting with a knife in his arms, was woken up by his subordinates who told him that his hometown, Tianmen Town, had been kidnapped.

It turned out that the war was imminent, and the domestic merchants who stayed on the other side all retreated to the south one after another. The Southern Sichuan Army mainly protected the merchants.The same is true for Chao's merchants who want to return to the North Shore. This is an unspoken tacit understanding between the two parties.

However, the soldiers never tire of deceit and won by surprise. A group of vanguard soldiers from the enemy disguised themselves, mixed with the caravan, took advantage of the remote and unguarded cliffs, passed the blockade of the Southern Sichuan Army, and drove straight to the outside of Tianmen Town.

Tianmen Town is where the Fuyang River and the Zhuo River meet. There are many hills and mountains. The river rushes through the canyon, surging, and never freezes in winter. Five years ago, there was no bridge, only three arms thick iron cables paralleled. Nailed at both ends of the canyon, connecting Tianmen Town with the outside world.Dangerous and dangerous, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the contrary, if the enemy army occupies Tianmen Town, it will be quite difficult for Lin Zhu to fight back.

That night, he led a team of one hundred people and rushed back to Tianmen Town, imagining countless consequences on the way-what if Tianmen Town was occupied by Chao people?What about Chao Ren massacring the city?He lost his garrison, lost his people, and the military order is like a mountain. What if he wants to chop off his head?

Fortunately, after defending the city for more than ten years, Lin Zhu had the foresight to dig a secret road through the mountain.The centurion took the mountainside and sneaked into the city at night.Surprisingly, the streets are peaceful and quiet, every household is snoring loudly, not even a single shoe print of the enemy is seen, it is a scene of harmony and peace.

Lin Zhu led a team to patrol the city for a week, and finally saw the faint flames in the western sky.

To the west is the torrent of the canyon. Before approaching, there are bursts of roaring, and three parallel iron cables are swaying in the east and west in the turbulent water vapor and strong wind.

In the night, on the cable bridge, a man stood with his back holding a sword.That was the first time Lin Zhu saw Master Du.

The opposite bank was full of flames and shadows of enemies, each time only two or three people stood on the cable bridge, and when they slid three feet away from the swordsman, they were all picked off by him, shouting and killing, and submerged in the surging river.

One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it.The entire Tianmen Town was sleeping peacefully behind him.

Later, Lin Zhu saw that the sword in his hand was as wide as a palm, as thick as half a finger, and weighed more than three jun. It was so powerful that it could split a person in half!

"That sword should be Chi Xing." Shen Yu said after hearing this.

Lin Zhu nodded and said: "That's right, with the benefit of imperial edicts, we can negotiate to cut it off. That sword and the one in your hand were forged from the same iron mine. It is unparalleled in the world, and the overlapping pine patterns at the edge are the proof of thousands of years of hard work."

The swordsman held the imperial star epee in his hand, and in the cloth bag on his back was the famous sword of the Second Association.After annihilating the enemy army, Lin Zhu entertained him for a meal, only to learn that his surname was Du, and he had just crossed the river from the north bank of Zhuo River. true colors.

Although Master Du is not from the Qi country, to be precise, he is not from the Chao country, but from Fangwai.He worshiped a hidden sect deep in the mountains as a disciple, and the origin of the sect's establishment can not be traced back for a long time, long before the Liang family unified the country and the Gao family seized Jiangbei.

He guards Tianmen Town, and he doesn't fight Bei Chao for Qi State, but he doesn't want to see the people in the city die.

Lin Zhu admired his martial arts and chivalry, and learned that he traveled south to find a young man with good roots, to teach disciples for the sect, and in the future he would bring his disciples back to the ancestral court in the north, so he made a promise that if one day he could live Master and his disciples will go to the bank of Zhuo River again, and the general's mansion will treat them well.

"Unexpectedly, I will see you five years later." Lin Zhu recalled, feeling very emotional.

"But," Shen Yu said hesitantly, "Actually, I am not considered a direct disciple of Master Du, and this trip is not for crossing the river to go to some ancestral court."

There was only one Mu Jihe who was taught by Master Du, and he was half civilized, half martial, and he ended up being outmatched by two fists and four hands.

Shen Yu's swordsmanship, he learned one or two styles from Master Du at the beginning, and later he was a training partner for Mu Jihe, so it can't be regarded as true.Only at that time, Master Du was led back to Guangji Temple from the wall of Cui's house, where they ate and lived together, and taught them carefully for a period of time.

It's a pity that the people Shen Yu wants to kill are not ordinary people who can be killed by swordsmanship alone.The two broke up unhappy, and Master Du even asserted that Shen Yu was just a scholar and not a knight, and so far they are still in a cold war.I am ashamed to mention it.

In this way, Master Du selected a successor for the master, but after many selections, no one was satisfactory.

Lin Zhudao: "But, he gave you the Erxie Sword. Don't you know? The Erxie and the Chixing are two handed down works of the Jingliantai. Each generation only has two disciples, one holds the Chixing , Traveling the world, one holds the second association, and sits in the sect. Since the second association sword is in your hands, the meaning of the master must be to bring you back to the ancestral court of Jingliantai in the future, and practice in the world."

Liang Heng glanced at it immediately, a little confused, he had never heard Shen Yu say this before.It sounds very unreliable to be born in seclusion and inherit the sect.

Shen Yu knew what he was thinking, and covered the back of his hand to reassure him. At this moment, Lin Zhu suddenly said: "Whether he is Master Du's disciple or not, the general will know after he tries it!"

Taking advantage of the momentum, Liang Heng yelled in horror. Lin Zhu only hit Shen Yu and didn't call out to him. He missed, and his fist turned into a palm and slammed on the wooden table, shaking a brush that had been placed indiscriminately. Fly up and hold it as a weapon.

"Master!" Zou Fang and Bi Wei also called out.

The situation changed rapidly, the two jumped out of the main room and stood in the courtyard.

"Don't come here!" Lin Zhu shouted, and stabbed Shen Yu with a pen like a sword, mercilessly.

The accident was unexpected, Lin Zhu was not a high-ranking person, but his actions were like thunderbolts and lightning, his strength was blowing against his face, Shen Yu had no choice but to draw his sword to block.

A stab missed and hit the locust tree in the courtyard, green leaves fluttered down the branches, Shen Yufei kicked out, and saw that he was about to hit Lin Zhu's neck, he quickly retracted his strength to avoid the vital point, but there was a flower in front of him, Lin Zhu's figure flashed, is no longer in place.

Liang Heng hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to stop them?"

Bi Wei said with a bitter face: "Master, if you want to stop it, you have to fight with the two of them separately. Do you think it is more convenient for me to break my leg now, or is it more cost-effective to break my hand?"

Zou Fang said: "No, master, the subordinates think that General Lin has no malicious intentions. If the master is unwilling to fight him, it is not impossible to retreat."

"Use your sword!" Lin Zhu shouted.While breathing, the pen sticks out 32 strokes, and hits the Erxie sword, vibrating and buzzing.Shen Yu kept his defenses tight, but he didn't make any moves. He only waved his sword at Lin Zhu's words.

The green leaves of the locust tree fluttered, covering two figures, silently, the leaves covered the ground, all cut into neat squares by the sword energy!

The two palms clashed again, the vigor leaked out along Lin Zhu's arms, Shen Yu retreated again and again, wrestling with strength, he was really invincible.

The square leaf floated in the air, and was touched by Lin Zhu's pen, spinning and shooting towards the opposite side, brushing past Shen Yu's ear, leaving a wound.

The moment the figures intersected, the Erxie sword and the writing brush changed in an unfathomable way, and then stopped.

Shen Yu pointed at Lin Zhu's calf with his sword. If life and death were not considered, Lin Zhu's lower body would be empty when the sword went down.Liang Heng let out a tense breath, thinking that it would be great to compete with General Lin.However, Shen Yu frowned

"You boy, you lost." Lin Zhu said.

The two stood facing each other, Lin Zhu didn't even look at it, and poked out the pen under his armpit with his backhand, aiming at Shen Yu's back.

"One dead and one injured, brother to brother!" Liang Heng said immediately.

Shen Yu accepted the Second Association and admitted, "I lost."

Lin Zhu laughed loudly, threw away the broken brush, lifted his front skirt, and pulled out his calf.Liang Heng and the three station guards all looked horrified—is that a wooden prosthetic leg? !

"One death and one injury may not be seen!" Lin Zhu's youthful face was full of high spirits, "It should be that he died, and I was not injured! This kid is too soft to touch my vitals, and he just wants to stop it. I can Let you touch your leg? Lao Tzu's leg was broken in the Zhuojiang River long ago!"

All are solemn.

Lin Zhu put the prosthetic leg back again, and the skirt of his robe fell to cover it, so no one could see it.Commenting on Shen Yudao: "There is a bit of sincerity in your sword moves, but that's all. It's obvious that you lack practice and lack experience. But I don't understand. If Master Du really taught you, how can you teach you to be half-baked? ?”

What he said, Zou Fang and Bi Wei blushed in the audience, if Shen Yu is a half-assed person, aren't they simply laymen?

After all, Lin Zhu is a veteran on the battlefield, and his comments are not only sure, but also full of weight.However, Shen Yu didn't seem to care too much, and said: "The students have never learned [-]% of Master's ability."

"It's easy to say," Lin Zhu said heartily, "It doesn't matter how much you have learned, since you are an old friend's student, I will stay in my general's residence and entertain you for board and lodging!"

After saying this, he summoned his servants and arranged rooms for everyone, and then went to the school grounds to continue to guide the soldiers without saying a word.

A group of people took advantage of the opportunity to stay in Tianmen town.At this time, it was less than a day's journey to Linjiang Lianghuang Palace.

The General's Mansion was built on the top of the mountain, the location was too high, the site was not big, and the rooms were a bit cramped.The servants boiled hot water and carried the bathtub into the west chamber. Liang Heng and Shen Yu took off their clothes and submerged them in the water.

Shen Yu closed his eyes and leaned against the side of the bucket. He was always vigilant along the way, and his ears were often pricked up at night, so he would wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.Now at the General's Mansion, he expected that no matter how daring the assassin would be, he would not dare to enter a deserted territory in the army, so he relaxed his nerves.

The water vapor made his complexion pale, half of Liang Heng's face was soaked in the water, and his eyes were staring at Shen Yu.He thought to himself, what does Lin Zhu know? Shen Yu was not born to wield knives and guns. What he likes most about him is his calm and serious appearance while sitting behind the desk.

Once the skin was washed, the fresh blood stains behind the ears were exposed.

Liang Heng approached with his breath held, his hands climbed onto Shen Yu's naked chest, and his breath sprayed on his cheeks.Shen Yuben didn't bother to answer, but then opened his eyes and pinched Liang Heng's soft back: "What are you doing?"

There was still a hot and humid feeling in his ears, Liang Heng stuck out his tongue, and there was a little bright red blood on the tip of his tongue.

Shen Yu stared at him silently, and suddenly, the hand on the back of his neck tightened, and he pressed him in front of him, biting the tip of his tongue.

The croaking came and went one after another, driving up the heat wave.

The water vapor was getting thicker and thicker in the tightly closed room, Shen Yu held Liang Heng's soft waist, pinched his chin with one hand, and kissed deeper, with the entanglement sound of water overflowing from his lips and teeth, sucking insatiably.Liang Heng's rationality left his body, and his consciousness was completely dominated by impulse. He hugged his back and stroked the muscle lines that were different from his own.

Running around for days seemed to make both of them lose their self-control.Shen Yu grabbed Liang Heng's hand and pressed it against the edge of the barrel, his eyes darkened, and he smiled.
