Chapter 210 – Drawing the Sword and Speaking
A middle-aged man stepped out of the threshold of the inn, just such a bland and uninteresting action, it also made Yin Changgeng and the others feel an aura like a spring breeze.
The man’s white robe and jade belt, narrow sleeves and wide body, the robe is ranked among the Liyang Dynasty’s first-class tribute of Shu brocade texture, collar, sleeves set with detailed and meticulous brocade gold edge, the big part of the plain and elegant, the small part of the honorable. Probably only this kind of sharpness inwardly restrained elegant man, and the crown will be able to marry the “peach blossom horse pomegranate skirt” reputation of the rouge evaluation of the woman.
The middle-aged man’s waist hangs a long sword, scabbard black and simple, seems to be made by the skin of the python, but the real surprise is that this sword does not have a sword grid, also no hilt.
Qi Jiajie, the capital’s first swordsman.
Since the age of nine to lift the family sword “Banxiang” practice sword, thirty years, the north go two Liao, south tour Jianghuai, east to Jieshi, west to Jiange, visit the world’s famous mountains and rivers. During the period of Qi Jiajie had in eighteen years old to change the sword “oblique sun”, successively to the East Vietnam sword pool patriarch Song Nianqing, Guangling spring snow building chief provider Chai Qingshan, Tongxi sword fairy Lu Baijie, including the six masters of the sword, six battles were lost, returned to the capital seclusion, twenty-six years old out of seclusion, change to kill the sword “fishy”, in the border of Liaodong. “, in the Liaodong border one person one sword force fight North Mang eight hundred horsemen, whole body retreat, chopped off more than three hundred heads. In the year of his death, he changed his sword to “Long Tongs”, which has no blade and no handle, so if he lifts the scabbard upside down, the sword will slip out of the sheath. The world’s long sword since ancient times has been nicknamed long tongs, Qi Jiajie exchange for this sword is obvious, the world’s long sword millions, have my long tongs a handle will be enough. Therefore, Qi Jiajie and that own change the name of the North Mang sword qi near Huang Qing, and called “Qi art Huang Dao”, were regarded as Deng Ta’a and Li Chungang successor to two successors of the sword god.
Huishan Daxueping new assessment of the top ten masters of the Liyang, after Xuanyuan Qingfeng is Qi Jiajie, the name of the return to the East Vietnam Sword Pool as the patriarch of the Chai Qingshan above, more so that Qi Jiajie reputation is known in the world of Huishan Ziyi with a high degree of self-conceit, and even openly said a sentence “Mr. Qi’s realm is not as good as me a foot, killing me as good as Mr. Qi a ten feet! “, which directly let many years have not shown the sword Qi Jiajie reached the peak of prestige, vaguely have the first master of the north of the jianghu status.
Seeing Mr. Qi personally, Gao Shilian and the others are like a relief, in the minds of these juniors of the capital who have been thunderstruck by the three words of Qi Jiajie since their childhood, even if the sky collapses, Mr. Qi is able to carry it down with a sword. Although roughly guessed that Mr. Qi’s previous sword qi a put and take, mostly with their side of the unknown origin of this male, but how, in Tai’an City has always had a far-reaching saying, Mr. Qi really powerful place, not in today’s sword realm sword art attainments how superb, but lies in the Mr. Qi’s every tomorrow than yesterday’s cultivation. Especially Lu Baijie in the resignation of the Secretary of the Ministry of War rushed to take office in the field, Qi Jiajie for its send-off, even the sword is also given to others Tongxi sword immortal Lu Baijie frankly laughed and said, “Perhaps without twenty years, Lu mou is to give Mr. as a hold the sword disciple is also not worthy of it.”
Qi Yanglong’s learning, Tantanweng’s seal carving, Qi Jiajie’s swordsmanship, and now the chess skill of Fan Changhou, the chess saint of Liyang, have been added to the list.
Who in the millions of people in Tai’an City wouldn’t be proud of this?
The young man who arrived with a book saw Qi Jiajie walk out, and the two men glanced at each other under the eaves. Compared to the young man’s holding a book and standing with an idle attitude, always have the ability to find irrelevant details in the wind and waves of the high turnip, she was surprised to find that Mr. Qi was unprecedentedly removed from the waist of the long tongs of the famous sword, held in the hand. Just at this moment, a group of people came quickly from the eastern end of the summer town, at the end of the street. After all, young, so the temperament of the lively Zhao Wenwei could not help but raise his eyes to look, a line of four people, old and young men and women, he only looked at one person, closer and closer, the teenager was finally able to see clearly the person’s appearance, more and more can not move their eyes, that is a body just have signs of picking out the same age of the woman, there are a few points of baby fat face is being cleaned up and reduced when the melon-faced beauty embryo is also on the surface, she is White clothes like snow, carrying a complementary white sheath long sword, especially on her head there is a simple to the extreme purple sandalwood hairpin.
The small hairpin was like a sword, flying between her green silk.
At this moment, Zhao Wenwei was mesmerized. It’s a lie that there is a face like jade in books, how can there be a real woman outside of books that looks as good as this.
Each flower has its own eyes, Gao Shiqing’s first glance was that handsome man in green shirt with sword, she exclaimed, “Li Yi Bai of the East Vietnam Sword Pool?!”
Li Yi Bai was not only extremely famous in Liyang Jianghu, but also in Jiangnan scholarly circles and even in the official circles in the capital. Li Yi Bai’s teacher is the East Vietnam sword pool patriarch Song Nianqing, the family is a stream of superb high family, when the most important gate of the Spring and Autumn ten great valves, in addition to ten surnames intermarry to avoid the marriage of eunuchs out of class, and even some of the origin is not orthodox enough to the imperial family do not bother to marry with, but Li Yi Bai where the Li’s, but it can be the top ten great valves to settle for the second best object of the marriage, the Spring and Autumn, was honored by the surname, but Li, Pei, Yu and other people are not the only people in the world, but also in the world of the world, and the world is a very important place. But Li, Pei, Yu, Xie and other eight, of which Pei fell into silence after the sinking of the Divine Kingdom, down to the point that the most famous family figure is a woman, it is the old Jing’an King Zhao Heng’s consort Pei Nanwei.
Li Yi Bai’s demeanor showed the gentleness of Li Yang’s first-class noble gentleman, with a charming smile, looking towards Gao Shilian Gao Shi turnip siblings, softly saying, “I never thought I could meet Brother Gao and Miss Gao in the Northwest.”
Since it was Li Yi Bai who had traveled all the way from the East Vietnam Sword Pond, the identity of the tall old man beside him was revealed, the world’s one of a handful of great masters of the Sword Dao, Chai Qingshan.
It must be that Qi Jiajie’s majestic sword qi that filled the town of Summer Escape earlier had attracted this line of people. After entering the town, Chai Qingshan did not place his eyes on Qi Jiajie, who was in a realm as if he was in the realm, but rather the young man holding a book from beginning to end.
Li Yi Bai was oblivious to the odd atmosphere under the eaves of the inn, and smiled as he introduced himself to the Gao family siblings, ”My master Chai was a close friend of the Sacred Monk of the Dragon Tree in his early years, and when he heard that the white-robed monk was going to say something at that Lotus Peak, he purposely rushed to Northern Liang with us. As for these two children, are Chai master uncle’s favorite disciple, Song Tinglu, single bait clothes, freeze for what, quickly shout high brother high sister.”
Not tall but wearing an extremely long sword at his waist, the clean-cut youngster gave an oh, and shouted Gao brother and Gao sister in a regular manner, and then continued to stare at that peer with a vigilant expression, his heart was on fire, this kid hated to stick his eyes on his own senior sister, what exactly does he want to do? What is he trying to do? To the teenager Song Tinglu so look, everyone realized Zhao Wenwei stared blankly at the name of the strange white sword girl, Zhao Wenwei’s sister Zhao Chunyuan some tears and laughter, this since childhood only like to follow his father all day long with reading and practicing calligraphy painting stupid younger brother, finally love is beginning to open up?
Zhao Wenwei softly asked, “Your name is Three Two One?”
To this kind of thing has long been accustomed to the young girl blandly said: “My surname is single, the bait of the bait, clothes of the clothes, not called three two one.”
Today, the white-clothed girl’s very simple and polite sentence, but let the future death posthumous Wenzhen Zhao Wenwei, remembered for a lifetime.
Song Tinglu snorted coldly, “brat, less with my sister set close, you this kind of unarmed readers, I do not need to hand can beat down a hundred, when the time comes to give me a beating, do not say that the words do not come!”
After such a mess, gathered three teenage girls with their own minds, in the strange young man and Qi Jiajie successively appeared after the slightly tense sword under the eaves, suddenly clouded over a few points.
That just closed the book under the armpit of the reader, for no reason at all suffered such an unwarranted disaster, but did not get annoyed, but instead smiled at the teenager Song Tinglu thumbs up.
Seemingly naive Zhao Wenwei cheerfully said, “Words do not know ah, then you are also a scholar.”
Yin Changgeng gently knocked on this brother-in-law’s head and lectured, “Reading and literacy should not be used for verbal disputes.”
Standing at the bottom of the stairs, Chai Qingshan looked at the young man under the eaves, the bookish air is not as good as Yin Changgeng, the Jianghu air is not as good as Li Yi Bai, but not to mention Yin Changgeng and Li Yi Bai, is Chai Qingshan himself and Qi Jiajie two great masters, still can not be suppressed in the slightest this person’s potential aura. Only in addition to the sword in the road to the level of Li Yi Bai can slightly perceive one or two, Yin Changgeng Gao Shilian and others after all, is not a person in the jianghu, the eyes of the gods can not be recognized just.
Single bait clothes suddenly curious and asked: “You have sword qi, is also practicing sword people?”
That person from the armpit carry out that book raised, laughed: “Green Water Pavilion Azi practice sword book, this secret book heard of it?”
The young girl nodded her head in a serious manner and said, “I heard from my master, there are many secret books of sword learning in the world, ‘Green Water Pavilion’ has the reputation of raising the outline, but it is a pity that the person who wrote it has limited qualification himself, and can’t peep into the scenery above the finger xuan, so there is an empty momentum, but not the spirit.”
The man lamented, “In the earliest days when I practiced my sword with The Green Water Pavilion, there was an old man who commented on this book, and it was similar to what you said.”
Chai Qingshan finally spoke and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t expect that the farewell with Li Chun Gang along the Guangling River back then would be the last time I would see him in this life.”
The man re-collected the book and slowly said, “That time, if Grand Master Chai hadn’t blocked the way, coupled with the fact that it’s better to strike early than to strike smartly, the old man with the sheepskin fur and I would have been able to walk up to the river parade platform.”
Chai Qingshan said expressionlessly, “Eating the king’s salary and being loyal to the king, at that time, since I, Chai Qingshan, was the guest secretary of Guangling Spring Snow House, of course I had to stop Li Chun Gang, as for how to stop, whether it was honorable or not, can’t count that much.”
Qi Jiajie spoke without surprise, “Patriarch Chai, isn’t there a first come first served?”
This time, Chai Qingshan, who had rushed from the southeast to the northwest, did not carry a longsword, and the old man glanced at Qi Jiajie’s sword, “Long Tongs”, and did not speak.
Yin Changgeng gently shook his wife Zhao Chunyuan’s hand to ease her tension.
This person beside him was the Northwest Clan King Xu Fengnian! Zhao Chunyuan, a famous woman of the capital’s family, has also heard of this person’s countless legendary stories, twice traveling in the river and lake of Liyang, once alone to the North Mang, twice traveling in the Western Region, and once in the battle in the North Liang territory.
How many high and mighty experts under the sky have died in the hands of this young man?
Back then, the human butcher led a large army of iron horseback riding on the rivers and lakes, stepping on the guts of half of the rivers and lakes.
And this do son, is nearly alone, will not be easy weather lush up Liyang Jianghu, once again smash to pieces!
Wudi City completely become the past, Yang Taiyou died at the Iron Gate Pass, the human cat Han Shengxuan died violently, Song Nianqing died in a foreign land, Liu Artemisia suddenly disappeared, Xishu Spring Post Cao Tang Xie Ling Zhen in the Spring God Lake for no apparent reason, Longhu Mountain Tianshi House young masters of the Zhao Ningshen was knocked off the dust …….
Gao Shilian and Han Shengyan subconsciously swallowed their saliva, their eyes crossed, and they both saw fear in each other’s eyes.
Even the fearless Gao Shiyi quietly took a few steps back.
Xu Fengyen who swept from Wudang Mountain to the foot of the mountain to escape the summer town, facing Qi Jiajie Chai Qingshan two swordsmanship masters, still did not have half a bit of feeling as if he was facing a great enemy, turned his head to look at the blood on the other side of the street, turned back to look to Gao Shilian who stood beside Yin Changgeng, “You are the son of Duke of Yan, Gao Shizhi, right, I whisked the water room spies on the report mentioned that you will be coming to Wudang Mountain along with Qi Jiajie and others. , so as soon as Qi Jiajie’s sword energy came out, I came, in addition to letting Qi Jiajie not be redundant, in fact, more want to say thank you. Gao Shilian, that Kong Wuzhi you still remember it, than Yan Ji Ji earlier to go to Tai’an City, a young man of Northern Liang, now serving in the Ministry of War, I heard that when he first arrived in the capital, suffered quite a lot of anger, it is you Gao Shilian to help him, and then Yan Ji Ji followed Yan Jiexi Yan Dongwu into the capital, you are also the earliest to play with Yan Ji Ji a piece of the capital’s children.”
Gao Shilian did not feel flattered, in fact, the son of the Duke of the country wanted to die at the moment, I and the Kong Wu Zhi Yan Chi Chi that are like acquaintances at first sight, with you, this king of Beilang can not be hit, please do not thank me, you Xu Fengyen or a punch knocked out my good, to save the future back to the capital, the rumors are full of the capital, that the short-tempered father will not be able to break my legs?
But Gao Shilian sadly realized that he only dared to listen honestly and could not say a word.
Qi Jiajie asked, “Finished?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “There’s no rush, it just so happens that I’m going to wait for someone here. What, you Qi Jiajie want to stand up for Wang Yuanyan’s gang of playboys? But let’s say in advance, no matter how they make a mess, it’s actually that much, for example, that Liu Xifeng who sneaked in from Hezhou, that bit of grudge from the early years is over, and Wang Yuanyan who had a face-off with me in Tai’an City’s JiuJiu Pavilion is almost the same. But if you Qi Jiajie intend to intervene, then that originally dispensable bad debt of theirs is going to be counted on your head as the capital’s number one swordsman.”
Xu Fengnian laughed for no reason, “Truly, there is indeed a debt between you and I.”
Qi Jiajie gripped the famous sword long tongs in his hand that he had been living with for more than ten years, calmly and calmly, he laughed and said, “Together we can settle it!”
Teenager Zhao Wenwei clenched his fists and quietly waved, Mr. Qi deserves to be Mr. Qi, even against one of the four great masters of the martial arts evaluation of the King of Beiliang, whether it is the speech and momentum or the style of the masters, are not inferior!
Xu Fengnian, who always had his back to the inn facing the street, did not squint and said softly, “Fine, then please draw your sword first.”
