The Prince with the Sword Goes to the End of the World

The chickens act recklessly and prosper

Huan Huan lamented mirror flower

The stars transform the five mountains

Drunk and sober and finally home

………………

Jiqing Road in the past, Yingtianfu today.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun lightly sprinkles on the cornices of the pavilions with red bricks and green tiles. The cars and horses are sparkling, and the streets are full of people. Faces with different shapes pass by in front of you and behind you. , or busy, or joy, or desolate, or sad.

Not far away came the cries of vendors, and among the many square tables, men and women were laughing and chatting.

On the hazy high platform, the woman scratched her head and posed, half-covered her face, her tenderness and charm were faintly visible, singing and dancing, all telling a piece of prosperity.

The boat moved slightly, and the water was rippling, causing some ripples in my past.Familiar streets and unfamiliar crowds make my heart feel lonely and sad...

I stopped and looked back: When I was young, I once strode frivolously for ten miles to the Qinhuai River.Now, the prosperity in my heart has come to an end, and there are constant lamentations. The rise and fall of the Guo Mansion, the glory and disgrace, have not changed the grass and trees here at all. They live as before, repeating and alternating day by day.

I watched from afar, the banks of the Qinhuai River where the night has come, row upon row of golden powder towers; floating boats, the sound of lights and shadows; like a girl half covered with plain gauze, with a bit of charm in the haze.

The boat docked on the shore of the water pavilion, I walked slowly across the bridge, chose a wine shop that was not too noisy, sat down, drank a full glass of wine, collected myself, and said to the waiter in the shop: "Xiaoer , May I ask how to get to the Shadow Extinguishing Gate?"

"Mieyingmen? I'm sorry, guest officer, I haven't heard of it." Xiaoer lowered his head and thought.

"How come I haven't heard of it? Mieyingmen can be regarded as the number one sect today, could it be... not in this Yingtian Mansion?" I hesitated.

"Listening to the accent of the guest officer, you are also a local, right? I have never heard of it since I was born. There is a sect called Miyingyingmen in Yingtian Mansion. It must be a drunken talk of the guest officer, haha." Xiaoer brushed off. He lowered the white cloth on his shoulders and smiled.

"That's right. I grew up in Yingtian Mansion. Although I don't say I know Ying Tian Mansion well, I have never heard of the existence of Mie Yingmen." I was slightly stunned and murmured.

"Haha, this old man must be from the rivers and lakes, what are you talking about with Mie Yingmen?" The plain-clothed man at the next table laughed.

"It's nothing, I just want to find Su Haitang from Mieyingmen..." I responded.

"Su Haitang! My brother really has extraordinary eyesight. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to find Su Haitang, haha." The man in plain clothes sized me up carefully, then smiled again.

"My dear friend, do you know Na Su Haitang?" I said slowly.

"Not only do I know each other, but I also admire her very much!" the plain-clothed man said loudly after drinking a glass of wine.

"Could it be that my dear brother knows that Su Haitang is a woman?" I asked in surprise.

"Of course! Do you think I have a 'long-yang addiction'?" The plain-clothed man moved back, stretched his arms, and said calmly.

"Brother, since you are looking for Su Haitang, why don't you have a few drinks with me at the same table first, so that I can hear how I met her." chair, said.

"That's fine, that's fine. Since you are invited, I will go and sit with you. Presumably, you must know the whereabouts of Su Haitang." I stood up, walked to the side of the man in plain clothes, and sat at the same table with him. Said: "Dare to ask my dear friend what to call?"

"Strange, strange, there are so many strange things in this world! Old brother, you have silver hair, but your face is extremely handsome, and your facial features are exquisite and extraordinary. At this moment, it is really difficult for me to see your age..." The plain-clothed man was stunned, and said .

"Brother not only has eyes as clear as water, but also has a burly body and an extraordinary aura. What's more, his words are full of magnanimity, and there is no malice in his mind."

"But...although my dear friend is not fussy about details, his appearance is bold and unrestrained, but his heart is extremely delicate. He observes what others don't see, observes what others don't see, and doesn't let go of any subtleties..." I said repeatedly to the plain-clothed man in front of me. .

"Hahaha, it's rare, it's really rare. Could it be that I met someone who understands me? Then guess who I am?" The plain-clothed man laughed maniacally.

"If you are a knight-errant, you will be a bit more scholarly; if you are a wealthy businessman, you will be more bold and unrestrained; I guess my dear friend must be a man of court!" I said with a smile on my face.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing. I don't want to hide it. Xiao Zuo is a close minister of the current crown prince Zhu Biao. He is now twenty-one. I would like to ask my brother... no, it should be called eldest brother, how should I call it?" Su-clothed man Xiao Left, Arched Road.

"Twenty-one? It's not easy to be calm and introverted at such a young age. My name is Guo Mingxuan, and I'm thirty-two this year..." When it comes to age, I feel as if it's been a lifetime, and I can't even remember what year it is now.

"Guo Mingxuan? What is your relationship with Guo Xing, the hero of the founding of the dynasty? I heard that after the Guo family was stripped of his title, Guo Xing's second son disappeared. His name is also Guo Mingxuan. You..." Xiao Zuoshen Pointing at me, he said in amazement.

"Me? Haha, I am me, you can regard me as him, or you can regard me as another Guo Mingxuan." My right hand held Xiao Zuo's outstretched finger, and said calmly.

"hahahahahahahahaha."

"hahahahahahahahaha."

Xiao Zuo pressed my right hand on the square table with his backhand, looked at me and smiled, and then said: "Come on, Brother Guo, drink. If you have wine tonight, get drunk tonight, it doesn't matter what year tomorrow is!"

"Haha, come on, cheers..."

………………

It was supposed to be a long and cool night, but it began to rain continuously and sadly.Xiao Zuo and I put our shoulders together, and we staggered step by step on the already quiet street, holding the wine gourd in our hands high above our heads, opening our mouths to drink freely.

"Life is so sad! It's a pity! It's a pity! I said...Brother Guo...You know that Su Haitang is not only a fish but a wild goose, she is also proficient in martial arts, and she is also proficient in medicine. She is really a rare woman today. Said that she would guard the Mieying Gate and never marry for life. After I heard her words, I swore to her: If she guards the Mieying Gate forever, I will guard her forever! Haha, Brother Guo, do you think I Is it right to do this?" Xiao Zuo's eyes were blurred, and he said with a foolish smile.

"Yes! Brother Xiao is right! When I saw Su Haitang for the first time, I thought she was heroic and extremely beautiful. She is the kind of beauty that women are strong...to be strong...how many men can be ashamed by this kind of beauty! And...I The Ruojin is so soft and beautiful, although Ruojin has the face of a fairy, but she lacks the decisiveness of Su Haitang, Ruuo, Ruojin is more decisive, and she will never be separated from me..." I looked up The sky, making the rain hit my face as hard as possible, said loudly.

"Ruojin? Sister-in-law, right? She must be beautiful, she must be!" Xiao Zuo said, waving his fingers at me constantly, shaking his body.

"Brother Xiao, how did you and Su Haitang know each other? How did you get to know her as a person in the imperial court? I have seen her medical skills before, and she is indeed amazing. As for her martial arts... she practiced the Water Control Method." ? Thunderbolt Jue? Electricity Control Technique? Or Wind Control Technique? Could it be the Fire Control Manual?” After my face was continuously beaten by the cold rain, I gradually became conscious, and I looked at Xiao Zuo curiously, and said.

"No...not at all! Su Haitang, known as: Young Master Yumian. It is said that she was adopted by the sect master of Mieyingmen since she was a child, and she has defeated countless masters with her fan skills and the move 'Xuewu Fanluo'; in addition, she also There are two unique skills, one is 'Flower Rain', and the other is 'Five Unique Magic Needles'." Xiao Zuo continued to shake his head, dragging his words.

"'Xuewu Fanluo', 'Flower Rain', 'Wujue Shenzhen', these three martial arts, none of them are the ones learned by the old name, could it be... Could it be that Mieyingmen has another expert? This expert Who will win? Who did Su Haitang learn martial arts from?" I said thoughtfully.

"I don't know who Su Haitang learned her martial arts from. However, I will always remember how I met her, haha. Two years ago, on the official road from Yingtian Mansion to Fengyang Mansion, a group of bandits often appeared , repeatedly attacked the court tribute and supplies, and the court sent several generals to suppress it, but all ended in failure. For a while, there was a panic in the court, and the emperor had to send the crown prince Zhu Biao to command the army to suppress it. One is to let the Crown Prince stand out; the other is that it is close to the capital city of Yingtian Mansion. If the power of the army falls into the hands of others, once a rebellious heart arises, it will definitely bring disaster. The Holy Majesty has high hopes for the Crown Prince. trust."

"As a close minister of the crown prince Zhu Biao, I naturally went with him to the official road to suppress the bandits. After several fierce battles, I found that these bandits not only know the formation well, but also have a kind of "floating" in their hands. The poison of Xiangsugusan is especially powerful. Once the poison is released, wherever the fragrance goes, the soldiers are powerless and kneel down, allowing the bandits to kill them."

"After repeated losses, the crown prince wanted to return to the court with his troops, but the counselors around him said: This is the crown prince's personal conquest, and he has commanded all the troops around Yingtian Mansion. If he retreats and returns to the court, the royal family will lose face. I heard that, There is a sect hidden in Yingtian Mansion called 'Mieyingmen', this sect is invincible, as long as you give enough money, it will come forward to serve you."

"After the crown prince Zhu Biao heard the words, he personally wrote a letter to the master of the Mieying Sect to leave his name, and paid a lot of money as a reward. Unexpectedly, Su Haitang came to the place where the army was stationed alone in the evening that evening. Facing it, everyone It is an army of strong men, and facing the majesty of the crown prince Zhu Biao, she actually disguised herself as a man, fearless, and her words were orderly, promising "the enemy can be defeated immediately". Suddenly, in the main tent, Both civil servants and generals, as well as the Crown Prince himself, are deeply convinced by the words and deeds of this handsome and handsome young man."

"After seeing the crown prince, Su Haitang didn't stop at all, and walked into the bandit's stronghold alone again. At that time, I was very curious, so I followed her closely."

"Facing the siege of thousands of thieves, she didn't panic at all. She tapped her toes and jumped into the air. Suddenly, several crabapple petals appeared around her body, and the rain of flowers became denser and denser." , the scope is also getting bigger and bigger, the petals are like a sharp knife, first cut through the face of the bandit around her, and then the bandit's neck, arms, chest, abdomen, and lower limbs were all bleeding. She Not afraid of this bloody scene, but her eyes became more and more serious, and she walked slowly to the depths of the village, and the rain of flowers covering the sky was also constantly moving with her..."

"Seeing this, the bandit leader hurriedly took out the 'Piaoxiang Crispy Bone Powder' and sprinkled it on Su Haitang. Almost at the same time, Su Haitang flicked her fingertips, and a silver needle pierced directly into the bandit leader's forehead, The bandit leader fell to the ground in an instant and died."

"At this moment, a charming woman in naked clothes jumped out of the room of the bandit leader. She held a sharp sword and stabbed at Su Haitang. Su Haitang dodged sideways, although the woman's sword was not hurt. She, however, took off her hairband, and her hair fell instantly. As the rain of flowers dissipated in the air, she knelt down powerlessly on the ground. At that moment, I looked back at her, and I was so weak that I couldn't move. I was dumbfounded...I thought I had seen countless beauties, but in front of her, all the beauties instantly turned into vulgar fans, there is nothing comparable, she is so beautiful..."

"Brother Guo, she is so beautiful that when the naked and charming woman stabbed at her with a sword again, I went crazy and wanted to jump to stop it. But my body was still extremely stiff, exhausted I tried my best to lift my legs, but I couldn't move any more..." Xiao Zuo spoke continuously, and his expression also changed from an obsessive smile to annoyed.

Perhaps, I understand somewhat why he loves Su Haitang so much...
