Chapter 22 The Swordsman
On December 30th, the 599th year of the Dawu National Calendar, the wedding date of Emperor Wu arrived as scheduled.
On this day, white snowflakes drifted all over the sky, laying a dreamy layer of color for the royal city.
Ordinary people also want to see this prosperous wedding, but the royal city has been martial law since last night, and ordinary people are not allowed to leave their homes at all.
Before dawn, all the civil and military officials arrived at the wedding scene, Shenwu Palace.
The Shenwu Palace, which is usually used to sacrifice to heaven, was decorated with a very festive manner by the Ministry of Rites. The Wu Emperor was able to choose the wedding location here, which shows his importance to Han Luoling.
Even when the queen married into the harem, she did not receive such courtesy, so many officials in the court were already thinking about their position.
At the time of Mao, Han Luoling was awakened by his servants and began to dress up with the help of the female official of the Ministry of Rites. As soon as Chen Shi arrived, a magnificent phoenix carriage took the bride to take the bride and slowly drove towards Shenwu Palace under the escort of the Tiance army led by Zhang Chi.
Between Han Luoling's mansion and Shenwu Palace, there is a small bluestone bridge, and under the bridge is the city river. If you want to reach Shenwu Palace, this is the only way for Han Luoling.
At this time, a man in white stood on the bridge, with a silver mask half-covered and his appearance was not visible.
A silver sword hung around his waist, and there was a sharp energy passing through the sword box.
All the snowflakes falling from the sky will automatically separate above the man's head. Therefore, although he stood here for a long time, there was no snowflake touching him.
Han Xu stood on the bridge, quietly looking at the river ringing under his feet, as if waiting for something.
At the bottom of the river, Wang Qian led dozens of personal guards with airbags lurking. In order not to be discovered, they had been soaked in the biting cold water for several hours, but no one felt cold. Instead, they were nervous and felt a little hot all over.
For Wang Qian, this battle is only successful and not defeated, because in the Jiuxiao Academy, the incident of Wang Ran's arrangement for Zhao Meng to plot against Han Xu was exposed, which was equivalent to cutting off his retreat to Han Luoling.
As time went by, Wang Qian felt more and more panicked. Even when he was young, he had never been so panicked in the desperate situation of a life-and-death situation.
Through the river, he could see the white-clothed swordsmen on the bridge. How long they had been hiding at the bottom of the river, and how long the white-clothed swordsmen stood on the bridge.
Both sides seem to know each other's existence, but they do not disturb each other.
You don't move, I don't move.
Wang Qian would not naively think that this person came here to see the scenery.
The alley at Qiaotou cannot accommodate spacious carriages and Tiance Army guards in parallel, so this is the only flaw on Han Luoling's way to Shenwu Palace.
At this special time, when appearing in this special place, this white-clothed swordsman definitely had some purpose, but Wang Qian was not sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.
Seeing that time was coming, Wang Qian thought he could not drag it down any longer. He gestured to the two guards behind him to go up and see the situation.
Both of them were seventh-grade warriors, the elite among the elites. However, as soon as they surfaced, they saw a dazzling sword light falling from the sky. No one even saw how the swordsman made his sword, and the two corpses sank to the bottom of the river.
"Han Luoling is indeed protected by experts." Wang Qian's heart sank, but then decided to go all out.
He has no way out, he will die, and he is a ninth-grade master. With the personal guard he brings, unless the opponent is extraordinary, he will be able to kill with everyone's strength and one blow.
Wang Qian made a gesture, and the remaining guards jumped up from the bottom of the water. Under the powerful force, the water pressure could not affect their speed.
The water surface under Han Xu's feet suddenly boiled, and dozens of black-clothed guards shot out from the water surface, attacking him from the front and back, and violent spiritual power enveloped him.
Among these personal guards, there are even four eighth-grade warriors.
The ninth level of warriors, the third level is a great realm. Warriors of the top third level can become powerful people anywhere in this world.
Once these personal guards take action, they are the most fierce killing moves. In this desperate situation, even a ninth-grade master will find it difficult to escape unscathed.
However, Han Xu was not panicked at all. He pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. In an instant, silver light suddenly appeared, and a circle of sword energy spread out from him as the center.
The next moment, all the actions of the guards were frozen in the air, and their bodies turned into powder and dissipated.
With just one sword, dozens of masters were killed. How powerful is this.
Wang Qian witnessed all this. He thought about this person being powerful, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful that even himself could not kill these personal guards in one move.
However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Wang Qian was also a person who had experienced many battles and had a strong mind.
He calculated that no matter what kind of master he was, there would be a moment of gap when the previous move was about to end.
So, when his personal guards set off, he pulled out the sword behind him and followed him out from the bottom of the water. When he came out of the water, it happened that Han Xu's sword energy was about to end.
Time is correct.
Wherever the blade passed, a string of water beads were brought. Before these water beads could land, they condensed into ice in the air and turned into deadly hidden weapons to shoot towards Han Xu.
Wang Qian used all his spiritual power to stimulate the Snow Blade Mad Sword with all his strength. A brilliant light lit up on the blade, and the extremely cold air even freezes the air.
With one sword, the sword energy came across, as if he was about to strangle Han Xu.
Under this sword, Wang Qian's huge pressure, he actually burst out with a force beyond his limit. He felt that even if this swordsman was a ninth-grade strongman, he could still kill him with one sword.
However, what he expected did not happen.
After the swordsman made the previous sword, he did not stop at all and stabbed another sword at a speed that was hard to see in the naked eye.
It was such a simple and unpretentious sword that Wang Qian felt a crisis that he had never experienced before. He saw that in front of the swordsman, there seemed to be an invisible force blocking the space.
Whether it was the ice bead or the indomitable ice skate energy, they were shattered in front of the swordsman.
"Super" Wang Qian stammered and said this word. Only the extraordinary and powerful can break his full-strength attack so easily.
But why are the extraordinary strong people protecting Han Luoling here, and why are Han Luoling so many people protecting him?
Obviously, this swordsman is not a master who used the Snow Blade Mad Sword to kill the assassin a few days ago.
However, Wang Qian's thoughts came to an abrupt end here. The swordsman seemed too lazy to talk nonsense to him. After cracking his sword energy, a wisp of sword energy pierced his heart.
Poor, this cavalry general, did not know who he had offended until he died, and even failed to leave him with time to regret.
His body sank into the cold river water, and will follow the river water, unknown where it will flow, perhaps it will become food for fish in the water, or perhaps one day in the future, it will be discovered by unknown people in unknown places.
After killing the man, Han Xu did not put the long sword into the scabbard.
He looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and then said to the surroundings: "Since you are here, let's come out."
