Chapter 3 The Gentleman

When she knew that I was from the mountains, Xia Qingling looked surprised and believed what I had said before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When I wanted to say goodbye again, she gritted her teeth and decided to keep me, I didn't want to stay, but her reasons made it difficult for me to refuse.

She said she could tell me about it!

Well, I also found out that I was ignorant in this area, so I said yes.

Then again, as a swordsman, I shouldn't have agreed at the time, and although it helped me a lot, it also caused me a lot of trouble, but I never regretted it!

We talked in the lobby of the inn, and it wasn't a conversation, but she was talking alone, and I listened, only occasionally raising some doubts.

After talking about the kung fu of a cup of tea, I also have a general understanding of the world and this river and lake:

This river and lake is not big or small, and it is not small to say small.

There is only one big dynasty here, called Great Qin. Under the Great Qin, there were seven small Wang Fengguo with different surnames on the east side of the sea, namely Liang, Xia, Qi, Tang, Chu, Zhao, and Song.

In the north of Great Qin, there were activities of foreign races, and it is not known whether the foreign races established their own dynasties! However, foreign tribes often went south to harass the people of Great Qin, and in response to this, Great Qin built fortifications in the north -- the Great Wall.

The rivers and lakes include everything in this Great Qin, whether it is the confrontation between Great Qin and other races, or the struggle within the Great Qin royal family, the contradiction between Great Qin and the feudal state, and the struggle between the court and the people, they are all rivers and lakes.

This place, where I am now, is called Qingshui Town, located in the southwest of Daqin, which belongs to the edge of the rivers and lakes, and the place where the old man and I live in seclusion is just outside the rivers and lakes!

Because the deep mountains and old forests are forbidden areas for people, few of the people who dare to go deep into them have come out alive, and as for me, the old man and I are naturally outliers.

And the few questions I asked included where the capital was and who Shen Liang was.

From Xia Qingling's mouth, it was learned that in order to pass through the north, the imperial court divided the land into the northern and southern regions with the great river called Cang, which runs through the border of the Great Qin, and moved the capital from the southern city of Yudu to the northern region city of Luodu.

Emperor Shen Yu of Qin sat in the capital city of Luodu, passing through the north and fighting against foreign races, while the crown prince affirmed that he was stationed in Yudu to govern the south and supervise the feudal state.

As for who Shen Liang is, Xia Qingling said that she didn't know, but she speculated that Shen Liang's surname was Shen, and if nothing else, he should be from the royal family.

Emperor Qin went to the north, and in order to supervise the feudal state, he left most of the royal family members in Yucheng, so if I go to Yucheng, I should be able to find news of Shen Liang.

Having got what I wanted to know, and knowing more or less about the situation, I said goodbye to her again, this time she didn't keep me, but offered to send me away, but as soon as we got to the door, we were surrounded by a group of armed men!

"Which man would dare to hit my woman's idea!"

A man in a brocade robe, not tall, and a little chubby appeared before us, and shouted very arrogantly, obviously he was the boss of the group of thugs.

"Who are you?"

I looked at the unscrupulous group of people and asked the guy.

When I asked, I felt Xia Qingling secretly tugging at the corner of my clothes, as if to suggest that I should not speak. When I looked sideways at her face, I noticed that she seemed a little scared, scared of the guy.

The guy didn't pay attention to my question, and kept staring at Xia Qingling next to me, the look of longing in his eyes was like a wolf, and it was the kind of wolf with color.

Xia Qingling didn't like the man's gaze very much, her slightly raised brows showed a little disgust, and she herself kept hiding behind me.

It wasn't until Xia Qingling was completely blocked by me and couldn't see it that the man moved his gaze to me.

"Hey, boy, stay away from my woman!"

The man said to me very domineeringly. Sensing that Xia Qingling didn't like this person, and I wasn't a person who was afraid of causing trouble, I had no intention of walking away at all.

I grabbed Xia Qingling's hand, pulled her out and asked, "Qingling, what is your relationship with that guy?"

On the one hand, I did this because of the mischievous factor in my own personality, not to mention that I was an adult at the time, but my mind was still very immature. On the other hand, because Xia Qingling is kind to me and is my benefactor, I naturally want to help her out of the siege.

I don't know if it was because I grabbed her hand, or because I called her Qingling, her face suddenly turned red, as if she was about to drip blood. I raised my hand curiously and pinched her face.

I don't know if it was because of the man's presence or because of what, she didn't resist my behavior, but just whispered to me: "I don't like that person, but he used the power of the family to force me to marry him!"

Hearing this, I was a little angry, this man is too unmanly! He pulled her behind him, and then looked at the man in front of him who was so angry that his eyes were red and said, "Qingling doesn't like you, don't force her anymore!"

Hearing my words, the man smiled coldly, "Hehe...... Which green onion are you, you dare to take care of the affairs of our ten thousand families! In Qingshui Town, our ten thousand families are the sky, and my ten thousand family sons are the son of heaven!"

After scaring me, he shouted at Xia Qingling behind me: "Xia Qingling, you slut, it seems that I was too kind to you before!"

"There is no woman in Qingshui Town that I can't do in my life, and when I clean up this kid who doesn't know whether to live or die, I will definitely train you well!"

Wan Sheng smiled evilly, and said with foul language,

"Come on, beat this kid to death! Bring that slut back to me, I want to see who will dare to oppose me in the future!"

Wan Sheng gave an order, and the thugs who had been preparing for a long time on the side were ready to rush up.

Looking at these guys, I don't have any feeling in my heart, these guys are too weak. According to the old man, with my current sword drawing technique, ten times more will be sent to death!

But Xia Qingling didn't know my swordsmanship, and when she saw that Wansheng was about to call someone to do it, she turned to me, opened her arms to stop these thugs, and shouted at me: "Li Gongzi, you go quickly! This matter started because of me, they won't do anything to me, you go quickly!"

Looking at this silly girl, I had mixed feelings in my heart, she was the first person besides the old man who really cared about me. Although we have only met for the first time, I can feel that she is genuinely good to me!

If she falls into the hands of that bastard of all beings, she will be humiliated, and I will not allow it!

"Come!"

I pulled her behind me and said, "Qingling, give me a sword, you have a sword in the inn!"

Why don't I use the sword I carry? Because the old man said, this sword, no, no, now, world! I was very puzzled by this, let me bring it out, and I was not allowed to use it, what did I bring it out for?

Later, when I retired, I understood the old man's intentions! This sword really can't be used.

Although she didn't know why, Xia Qingling was an extremely intelligent woman, so she didn't ask much, she immediately went in, and quickly took out a sword and handed it to me.

I handed the sword that the old man handed me to Xia Qingling, and after taking her sword, I rubbed one of her green threads with my hand, smiled at her, and said, "Go in, stay inside." With me today, no one can force you!"

Xia Qingling looked at me with tears in her eyes, took the cloth bag I handed her, grabbed it tightly with both hands without being dirty, slowly retreated to the inn, and then nodded vigorously at me.

When I turned around, I saw Wan Sheng looking at me with a mocking look on his face and saying, "Get ready! I'm waiting for you!"

I know what Wan Sheng means, he probably wants to see me struggling hard, but he can only watch powerlessly as he takes Xia Qingling away, so as to enjoy this sick pleasure!

If it were someone else, I'm afraid that today would really be as he wished!But when he met me, a fledgling swordsman, a closed disciple of the First Sword Emperor of the rivers and lakes, he was destined to be disappointed!

"I'm not going to kill you!

Looking at this group of people, I said lightly, because the old man said: swordsmen must kill, but swordsmen do not love to kill. But all sins that are not enough to die need to be let go, this is called sword virtue. A swordsman has no virtue, he is not called a swordsman, he is called a sword demon!

But the old man also said: When a swordsman comes out of his sword, it is only a thought to kill or not. If you don't kill, you may regret it, and if you kill, you may regret it! But the swordsman must not regret it, once he regrets it, he will hesitate with his sword, and then the next sword, he will definitely die!

In this regard, I think there is a contradiction between the two, and I don't understand!

When I asked the old man if he had ever regretted it, he habitually looked up at the sky without saying a word.

When I asked me again how I should use the sword, whether to kill or not, he sighed and read out the poem "Swordsman's Walk" that I could already recite from somewhere, I don't know where it came from:

The guest has no heart, the sword is the heart, the sword is sharp, the heart has no regrets, the regret is soft, the sword is not sharp, if there is no softness, the sword has no regrets, there is no soft sword, the heart is stained with blood, the sword is out, the devil has no solution, the devil has been completed, the virtue has been lost, the ten thousand swords are out, there is no sharpness, there is no sharp sword, the heart is regretful, the regret is successful, the road must be que, the sword is que, the guest is bloody.

Alas...... Whether to use the sword or not, to kill or not, you can decide for yourself!

This is the answer the old man gave me after repeating it. It can be seen that the old man is a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it!

And now in the face of these people, I want to use a sword, and if this sword comes out, it will definitely be stained with blood, but these people are not guilty of death, and I don't plan to kill them all! My goal is to protect Xia Qingling, as long as she is okay, everything else is secondary!

The swordsman has no regrets, not to mention the future, at least when the sword is out now, I will not regret it!

"Come on!"

I held the sword that Qingling handed over to me in my hand, the sword was unsheathed, and I looked at these people without any fluctuations in my heart. It should be said that from the moment I held the sword, I was already like water, no sorrow and no joy!

Because, I am a swordsman! With a sword, I have a soul, and I have a life as a swordsman!

"Whoever kills him will be rewarded with a tael of gold!"

These thugs swarmed up under the reward of ten thousand lives, and all kinds of weapons in their hands beckoned to me, and I smiled coldly at this,

It's too weak!

The next moment, I will draw my sword!

The first battle I stepped into the rivers and lakes, the first battle of the Sword Emperor's closed disciples, began in this Qingshui Town......

......
