Chapter 17 Shocking the Snake

There are many small tribes in the north of Mo. On weekdays, they come to Liangcheng to contact each other and place them in foreign barbarians. Like the Four Barbarians in Chang'an City, they are all built in areas where foreign tribes gather.

Although the name is not very nice, as a place to receive foreign guests, the buildings of the foreign museum show the demeanor of a great country. They are like cranes standing out among a bunch of houses, and can be seen two streets away.

Leaving the bustling Yangji Street, Liangcheng showed the vastness and loneliness of the northern desert, with few pedestrians on the street, and only the occasional neighing sound of mules and horses was heard.

Xu Buling drove a carriage and walked slowly from the alley to the vicinity of the Wuyi Pavilion. He first found an inn on the street to stay in, let the little sparrow investigate around the surroundings, and then came alone outside the wall of the Wuyi Pavilion with a straight knife.

The night is silent, and some words can be heard in the foreign museum:

"Mobei is so poor, it's incomparable to our Jiangnan..."

"Yes, the woman's skin is very rough. I heard it's sunny..."

...

Xu Buling's face was covered with black veil and listened to the outside of the wall. After confirming the location of the light and dark post, he jumped onto the wall and looked inside.

There were not many people in the courtyard of the Foreigner Pavilion. Apart from a few Northern Qi soldiers standing guard, there were five or six people sitting in the middle of the courtyard, wearing Dayue's armor and chatting around a brazier. There were many yards for foreign guests at the back, and there were two places with lights on.

Xu Buling just took a look and confirmed that these soldiers wearing Dayue armor were not under the command of the Four Kings of the East.

The biggest difference between Northern Qi and Dayue is that Northern Qi's "the national humiliation will last forever before it disappears", because etiquette begins with "right clothes". Dishesing hair is considered a very brutal and rude behavior. If you don't tie your hair when you go out, it feels like a woman without wearing clothes when you go out.

Although the soldiers in front of them had their hair tied, they were technical jobs, and they were not tied up casually. They were both particular about the style, hairpins and hairbands. The Central Plains soldiers who were on missions to foreign countries could not be rough. However, men from Northern Qi had long hair shawls since childhood, so they obviously would not deliberately learn this.

After noticing these small details, Xu Buling realized that this was a bait, but he did not retreat.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. If he doesn't bite the bait first, Beiqi will not know that he is coming, so naturally he can't bite his bait.

After Xu Buling glanced around, he silently entered the foreign palace and came to the lighted courtyard. Looking from the window, he could see two men in Dayue official robes sitting in front of the teahouse playing chess.

The bamboo curtains blocked the faces of the two, and they couldn't see who was sitting on it.

Xu Buling thought for a while, suddenly flew up from the house, rushed to the teahouse like a falcon rushing to the rabbit, stepped on the wall along the way and stepped on the snow on the wall. As a result, his feet slipped and he fell directly:

"Oh, I'll go..."

———

The teahouse was filled with incense. The Northern Qi Sword Immortal Yan returned to the forest, sat in front of the chess table, holding the white piece and gently rubbing it, as if he was a long test, but he was highly focused, paying attention to the surrounding wind and movements.

Revered as the "Northern Qi Sword Immortal", Yan Huilin was naturally the first person to use swords in Northern Qi. He came from the Tianshan Moon worship platform. He is considered to be the only swordsman sect that can reach the stage except for the three swordsman families in the Central Plains.

The Moon Worship Platform was originally in Mount Tai and had close contact with the Jiang family of Daqi. It was more like an institution for the official family to cultivate top experts, rather than a sect in the martial arts world. Before Jiazi, Daqi retreated to Mobei, so the Moon Worship Platform naturally moved home.

Yan Huilin Chengming was very early, and his status in Northern Qi was no less than that in the former Wudang Killing God Chen Daozi. However, with an official identity, he mostly acted secretly to help the court handle some troubles. He had very few records on the surface. His last time, he was famous all over the world, and he fought with Chen Chong, the god of Northern Xinjiang, and tied with each other. He was selected as the Ten Wu Kui in the World, and was also the only Wu Kui outside the Dayue border.

The two or three people at the top of the world, such as Eunuch Jia, Li Hansheng, and Zuo Qingqiu, were not listed among the Wu Kui, because ordinary people could not see their record at all, and the people they saw basically had no chance to tell them alive. Without a definite record, there was no legal level. Therefore, the skills of these people are all a mystery.

Yan Huilin is definitely not as good as the national guru Zuo Qingqiu, but he is known for his short attacks and long draws, as he is known for his strong and domineering spear god Chen Chong, and in today's world, he is also an absolute hero.

However, Yan Huilin also knew that he was entrusted with important tasks and sat here as bait. It would be fine if Xu Buling did not come to Northern Qi. If he really came, Xu Buling could defeat Wu Kui in the Central Plains, and it would definitely not be difficult for him to do so.

In order to prevent being swallowed by fish as bait, Yan Huilin was also the leader of the Northern Qi Imperial Boxing Pavilion.

Shi Jinhai is one year older than Yan Huilin. His temples are already gray, but his complexion looks a little more energetic than Yan Huilin.

The Northern Qi dominated the Central Plains for three hundred years, and its foundation was definitely not bad. In terms of martial arts attainments, it was not inferior to Dayue, but the population was too small. The martial artists, along with the sand, were too small, and the top martial artists were naturally few. At present, the famous masters of Northern Qi and the surname are only one-handed.

Although not many, the advantage of the Northern Qi martial artists is to strive for excellence. Zuo Yezi's words "In the past, the Wu Kui of the Great Qi were all crawled out of the sea of ​​blood" are not false statements. There was no Tang Jiao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and no one who could be famous for his official positions like Zhang Buzheng was a mediocre person, and Shi Jinhai was the same.

Shi Jinhai is good at leg techniques. Xu Buling's whip leg move "Dragon swing tail" was created by Shi Jinhai. It is rumored that he can kick and hold a giant tree with one leg.

However, his opponent is Xu Buling. Shi Jinhai, who has passed his peak age, is obviously a little cautious.

As the saying goes, "Fist is afraid of young strength." Xu Buling became a Wu Kui harvester in the Central Plains, and he also killed Lao Yi and Song Ying alone. Even if Shi Jinhai had Yan Huilin as his helper, he was not sure of winning.

Fortunately, their mission was to pretend to be envoys and wait for Xu Buling to take the bait. As long as they were sure that Xu Buling had come to Northern Qi, they would not ask to capture Xu Buling alive, and they could still run away if they could not beat him.

Shi Jinhai held the black piece, looked at the chessboard, and his ears also paid attention to the surrounding movements.

I'm not sure if Xu Buling will come, nor do I know when it will come. It's really boring to sit and wait so hard.

Seeing that the night was getting deep, Shi Jinhai was about to follow the agreed words, saying, "Mr. Han, the night is getting deep, and we will fight again tomorrow." But before we could speak, the two of them had their faces condensed, and they looked at the courtyard outside the pearl curtain in a blink of an eye.

Under the silver moon, a black shadow soared into the sky from the wall. His body movements were unprecedentedly neat. In the blink of an eye, he came to the wall, so fast that Shi Jinhai was a little palpitations.

Yan Huilin's face was solemn. Knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable, he touched the hilt of the sword under the chess stage with his right hand.

Unfortunately, before the sword was sheathed, I saw the murderous black shadow stepping on the snow on the wall, slipping under my feet, and then falling directly outside the wall.

"Oh, I'll go..."

A cry of surprise followed.

!!

The two top martial artists from Northern Qi were both stunned, thinking that they were some unprecedented moves, and they both took a twelve-point attention to their surroundings.

However, the slippery black shadow did not use any extremely lethal tricks after falling off the wall, but rose up again and rushed towards the direction that came, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

??

Shi Jinhai sat in front of the chess case, his eyes slightly confused.

Yan Huilin was also a little confused, but he quickly realized.

In an unfamiliar environment, it’s night again. No matter how powerful a master is, he can’t make any mistakes in his life. What’s more, Xu Buling is just a young man in his early twenties, and slipping is not a rare thing. The mistakes made during the assassination have given the opponent a chance to react. The risk of forcing him to move forward is too great. Xu Buling wants to escape!

From the moment he started to make a sudden move, Yan Huilin was already 80% sure that the person coming was Xu Buling, so he immediately wanted to get up and chase him.

But Master Wu Kui ran away with all his might, and he was slower and could not catch up with him.

Shi Jinhai thought for a while and raised his hand to stop Yan Huilin:

"If you can't catch up, you will chase it out. The matter of us being used as bait will be exposed. Report to the national teacher first. Xu Buling will definitely find another opportunity to attack the envoy team. At that time, we will create a big picture and ask you to fall into the trap. It will be much greater than the two of us chasing us."

Yan Huilin thought about it, as well. They just need to make sure that Xu Buling came to Northern Qi. If they want to close the net, they will naturally have to use all their strength to ensure that they can catch Xu Buling 100%.

Thinking of this, Yan Huilin let go of the hilt of the sword, then stood up, quickly returned to the house and took out the carrier pigeon...
