Cold rain Lincheng, cold wind like blade. 寒雨临城,冷风如刀。 As the curtain of night camouflages the Chang'an City sky, the twinkle star of lamplights of ten thousand families in thousand street hundred work places shine, until spreading to field of vision end. 随着夜幕遮蔽长安城的天空,万家灯火在千街百坊间星星点点亮起,直至蔓延到视野的尽头。 Chongren Work place, Arresting and Scouting Department. 崇仁坊,缉侦司。 When the evening drum resounds, Wolf Guards return Government Office one after another, finds accompany three commanding officers, is lifts the hand to salute. 暮鼓响起之时,狼卫陆陆续续的回到衙门,瞧见相伴走出来的三位主官,都是抬手行礼。 The Zhang Xiang waist hangs Yanling Blade to walk before most, holds the oiled paper umbrella to enter the curtain of rain, as in arranging the thing in division: 张翔腰悬雁翎刀走在最前,持着油纸伞进入雨幕,依旧在安排着司中的事物: „Yunlin, the Northern Qi envoy then arrived at Chang'an in the middle of the month, according to small news that reported that a Northern Qi Imperial Preceptor apprentice accompanied, wants to come also to hear Your Majesty chose the Ten Martial Leaders matter, you contacted Situ Huyu and Tang nine, so as to avoid some people provoked no one to meet to incur when the time comes, damaged the Your Majesty face countenance......” “云林,月中北齐的使臣便到了长安,根据小的们报上来的消息,北齐国师的一个徒弟随行,想来也是听说了圣上选十武魁的事儿,你去联络一下司徒琥羽和唐九,免得到时候有人挑衅无人接招,损了圣上的颜面……” „stretch/open Touer felt relieved that age surnamed Zuo 20, the master is fierce is also fierce not, the Chang'an City crouching tiger , hidden dragon, did not worry that no one deals with......” “张头儿放心,那姓左的年龄不过二十,师父再厉害也厉害不到哪儿去,长安城卧虎藏龙,不愁没人应付……” Two commanding officers walk before, heavenly prestige battalion Captain stretch/open Tingbao and another leader follow after that helps opening an umbrella. 两位主官在前行走,天威营首领张庭豹和另一个首领跟随其后,帮忙给撑着伞。 stretch/open Tingbao is in marketplaces begged, afterward was entered official career Zhang Xiang to settle on, the belt/bring came back to be the apprentice, was the adopted son. 张庭豹原本是市井间的乞儿,后来被入了仕途张翔看中,带回来当了徒弟,也算是干儿子。 Hears two bosses to talk, stretch/open Tingbao presses Yanling Blade to reveal several points of intent to move, opens the mouth saying: 听见两位上司交谈,张庭豹按着雁翎刀露出几分意动,开口道: „Father, or do I go to be able when the time comes that Northern Qi barbarian?” “爹,要不到时候我去会会那北齐的蛮子？” Zhang Xiang shakes the head: „Military person must learn the hidden point, this showing off matter, does not suit us to do.” 张翔摇了摇头:“武夫要学会藏锋,这种出风头的事儿,不适合我们来做。” stretch/open Tingbao hearing this reveals several points of disappointment, but is also expected. 张庭豹闻言露出几分失望,不过也在预料之中。 Small Government Office of Arresting and Scouting Department under Wei Residence as subordination, strict is only the Emperor governing former guard, the Arresting and Scouting Department subordinate boss is now Emperor, the spy child and dark pile proliferate Great Yue, any news can bypass the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers direct link day to listen, is the falcon in Emperor hand. 缉侦司作为隶属内卫府底下的一个小衙门,严格来说只是皇帝的御前侍卫,不过缉侦司的直属上司便是当今天子,手下谍子、暗桩遍布大玥,任何消息都可以绕过三公九卿直达天听,是天子手中的猎鹰。 Position not high, but the weight, the conduct nature low-key, this showing off matter, naturally cannot make him go. 位不高而权重,行事自然得低调,这种出风头的事儿,自然不会让他去。 During the discussions, four people arrived around the dwelling in Chongren Work place on foot, the dwelling is the Wolf Guards dwelling, Zhang Xiang and Liu Yun forest also lives here. 商谈之间,四人徒步来到了崇仁坊的一片宅院附近,宅院是狼卫的住处,张翔、刘云林也都住在这里。 The spring rain also to the night reason, in the lane somewhat was continuously dim, the raindrop since the umbrella ribs edge falls the drop on the blue stone floor tile, sends out ‚dá dá’ resounding. 春雨绵绵又到了夜晚的缘故,巷子里有些昏暗,雨滴自伞骨边缘滑落滴在青石地砖上,发出‘哒哒’的脆响。 stretch/open Tingbao lives in the , is preparing to say goodbye in advance, taking the lead Zhang Xiang was actually lifts the hand to stop the footsteps, the root of the ear moved slightly, looks to the corner of former Fang Lane. 张庭豹住在附近,正准备先行告辞,走在前面的张翔却是抬手止住了脚步,耳根微动,望向了前方巷子的拐角。 The Zhang Xiang itself/Ben is the Secret Guard deathsworn family background, the Iron Eagle Hunting Deer reason, has shaken land under heaven, martial arts in four people definitely is highest. 张翔本就是秘卫死士出身,铁鹰猎鹿的缘故,早已经名震天下,武艺在四人中肯定是最高的。 The Deputy Envoy Liu Yun forest is in the joining the army five selects to come, with current dynasty highest ranked military officer Liu Pingyang is the distant relative, martial arts is slightly bad plans, but is not an untalented person, almost lived in the footsteps simultaneously, placed on the hand the Yanling Blade hilt. 副使刘云林是从军伍中选拔而来,和当朝太尉刘平阳是远亲,武艺稍差一筹,但也绝不是庸手,几乎同时顿住了脚步,把手放在了雁翎刀的刀柄上。 stretch/open Tingbao and another leader have not detected what difference, but from two people responded that had guessed correctly several points, the complexion sank, stands same place. 张庭豹和另一名首领并没有察觉到什么异样,不过从二人反应中已经猜出了几分,脸色微沉,立在了原地。 Sand rustle —— 沙沙沙—— In the curtain of night, then is only left over the noise of the rain in a flash. 夜幕之中,转瞬间便只剩下雨声。 Four Arresting and Scouting Department core figures in black, press the waist sword to be entirely still, as if in the lane did not have the living creature suddenly. 四名身着黑衣的缉侦司核心人物,按着腰刀纹丝不动,仿佛巷子里忽然就没了活物。 Zhang Xiang looks at the lane corner of distant place, lost/carrying strokes gently finger with the left hand of back gently, opens the mouth saying: 张翔看着远处的巷子拐角,负与背后的左手轻轻摩挲手指,开口道: „Where the ganef, comes out to speak.” “何方宵小,出来说话。” stretch/open Tingbao was raised by Zhang Xiang, understood —— regarding adoptive father's the movement on hand very much, only then met the hard to deal with character, will stroke gently finger, naturally, does not feel thorny, but the sleep/felt goes well itchy. 张庭豹是被张翔养大的,对于义父的手上的动作很了解——只有遇上了难缠的人物,才会摩挲手指,当然,并非觉得棘手,而是觉得手痒。 Read and here, on stretch/open Tingbao the face revealed several points of discretion. 念及此处,张庭豹脸上露出了几分谨慎。 Arresting and Scouting Department fiercest definitely is not Zhang Xiang, the light is Zhang Xiang draws level then three people, who grasps intelligence network no one to know is, walks land under heaven to shock Jianghu outside, this is also not behind Secret Guard Eunuch Jia and the others. 缉侦司最厉害的肯定不是张翔,光是和张翔级的便有三人,一个掌握着情报网无人知晓是谁,一个在外行走天下震慑江湖,这还不算背后秘卫中的贾公公等人。 But Zhang Xiang can be the Arresting and Scouting Department foreign facade, the skill is needless saying that ‚the Eight Trigrams (gossip) blade’ shakes land under heaven, can make Zhang Xiang feel hard to deal with, at least is also a side famous elder on Jianghu. 但张翔能作为缉侦司的对外门面,身手自不用说,一手‘八卦刀’名震天下,能让张翔觉得难缠的,至少也是江湖上的一方名宿。 The words resound in the dark lane, the corner of former Fang Lane is silent. 话语在幽暗巷中响起,前方巷子的拐角处寂静无声。 Four people of peaceful waiting for a long time, the slightly inaudible sound of footsteps resounds, has stepped on the water on blue stone floor tile, reveals a person's shadow. 四人安静等待许久,微不可闻的脚步声才响起,踩过青石地砖上的积水,露出一个人影。 Wears the rain clothes to bring the bamboo hat, grasps the common iron sword, against reflection sword blade has not spread the jet black, on the face was also hoodwinking the face-cloth. 身着蓑衣带着斗笠,手持寻常铁剑,未防反光剑刃涂成了墨黑,脸上还蒙着面巾。 The rainwater coasts from black sword edge, walks the sword blade not to fluctuate, is only this ‚steady’ vigor, is not the common Jianghu guest can achieve. 雨水自黑色剑锋滑下,行走间剑刃没有丝毫起伏,光是这份‘稳’劲儿,就不是一般江湖客能做到的。 Sees this appearance, stretch/open Tingbao in the heart understands clearly immediately, is one seeks revenge. 看到这副打扮,张庭豹顿时心中了然,又是一个来寻仇的。 Ten years ago the iron eagle fierce deer, dies the Jianghu person head in Arresting and Scouting Department is piled up, although the Jianghu person free time zi must report, but definitely does not dare to look for Emperor to revenge, other Secret Guard hidden with do not know the status in secret, that can the homing enemy then only have Zhang Xiang. 十年前铁鹰烈鹿,死在缉侦司中的江湖人头颅可谓是堆积成山,江湖人虽说暇眦必报,但肯定不敢去找皇帝报仇,其他秘卫都隐与暗中不知晓身份,那能寻的仇家便只有张翔了。 The Arresting and Scouting Department commanding officer is a taking the rap position, tens of thousands of intense and deep-seated hatred, the Zhang Xiang blade is even quick, is impossible really ‚ten thousand people of slaughters’, 10,000 pigs are placed there let the homicide, can cut the volume mouth the blade. 说起来缉侦司主官算是个背黑锅的位置,成千上万的血海深仇,张翔即便刀再快,也不可能真的‘万人屠’,一万头猪摆在那里让他杀,都能把刀砍卷口。 May be Emperor trusted aide deathsworn, naturally cannot explain anything with the land under heaven Jianghu person, does not need to explain anything. 可作为皇帝的心腹死士,自然不能和天下江湖人解释什么,也不用解释什么。 Zhang Xiang sizes up one up and down, solemnly said: „Where ganef, in report, avoid verifies the status to be troublesome afterward.” 张翔上下打量一眼,沉声道:“何方宵小,报上名来,省得事后验明身份麻烦。” The rain clothes swordsman stands in the lane is entirely still, raised the head slightly, without speech. 蓑衣剑客站立在巷中纹丝不动,微微抬头,没有说话。 Dá — dá — 哒—哒— The raindrop falls from the umbrella ribs and sword blade, disrupts on the stone brick. 雨滴从伞骨和剑刃上滑落,在石砖上碎裂。 In the lane stood five people, the breathing does not even have. 巷子里站了五个人,却连呼吸声都没有。 The depressing atmosphere spreads, stretch/open Tingbao is gripping tightly the umbrella handle, long time, first cannot bear finally, deeply inspires. 压抑的气氛蔓延开来,张庭豹紧紧握着伞柄,良久后,终是最先忍不住,深深吸了口气。 sà - — 飒—— Then in this flash, the rain clothes swordsman wrist/skill turn over sword blade, drives the raindrop that the above falls, raindrop lasing. 便是在这一瞬间,蓑衣剑客手腕翻转剑刃,带动上方滑落的雨珠,颗颗雨珠激射而出。 sààààà —— 飒飒飒—— sword edge followed, then crossed a zhang (3.33 m) distance silently, the sword blade such as roaming dragon searched the sea, the thorn to the Zhang Xiang throat. 剑锋紧随其后,无声无息便越过了丈余的距离,剑刃如游龙探海,刺向张翔喉头。 chā - — 嚓—— Four Yanling Blade come out of the sheath simultaneously, the to terrify person cold light appears in the dark street. 四把雁翎刀同时出鞘,瘆人寒光在幽暗巷弄中浮现。 The stone brick instantaneous crack of Zhang Xiang under foot, before subsequently flying, to/clashes. 张翔脚下的石砖瞬间龟裂,继而飞身前冲。 Merely four Yanling Blade, are actually similar to hundred blades to be uneven general in the narrow alley, blade edge like ocean waves, irresistible pressure on rain clothes swordsman. 仅仅四把雁翎刀,在狭窄小巷中却如同百刀齐出一般,刀锋如海浪,势不可挡的压向蓑衣剑客。 „yā - —” “呀——” Ding —— 叮叮叮—— Suddenly, dozens sparks/Mars from the sky bursts out. 眨眼之间,数十点火星在空中迸发。 If the rain clothes swordsman body roaming Longfei the phoenix, by an enemy four, sword interlocks almost unable to splash water, the two sides wall and ground present more than ten sword traces instantaneously. 蓑衣剑客身若游龙飞凤,以一敌四,刀剑交错几乎泼水不进,两边墙壁及地面瞬间出现十几道刀剑痕迹。 „Tang Family sword!” “唐家剑！” The Zhang Xiang even/including has three blades, actually almost by a sword through, recognizes the style that the swordsman used is handed down in the family giving up study of Youzhou Tang Family. 张翔连出三刀,却差点被一剑穿心,认出了剑客所用的招式是幽州唐家的家传绝学。 The rain clothes swordsman did not say a word, merely two swords then selected to fly Yanling Blade in stretch/open Tingbao hand, if not the Zhang Xiang prompt rescue, stretch/open Tingbao had been sealed the throat by a sword. 蓑衣剑客一言不发,仅仅两剑便挑飞了张庭豹手中的雁翎刀,若非张翔及时救援,张庭豹已经被一剑封喉了。 The Liu Yun forest brow is tight, seems like the encirclement, actually maintains composure slow Zhang Xiang one step. 刘云林眉头紧蹙,看似合围,却不动声色的慢了张翔一步。 The goal of rain clothes swordsman only has Zhang Xiang probably, does not respond other three people, the sword difference rain, incurs a move of thorn to various Zhang Xiang strategic points, actually got the little winning sides. 蓑衣剑客的目标好像只有张翔,根本不搭理其他三人,剑出入雨,招招刺向张翔各处要害,竟然占据了少许上风。 The experts contest have not exchanged hundred moves to roar again the opportunities of two throats, 12 moves are divided the life and death sufficiently. 高手过招根本就没有互换百招再吼两嗓子的机会,一两招足以分生死。 However suddenly, follows a leader chest front that comes then to present a blood-stained mouth. 不过眨眼之间,跟随而来的一名首领胸前便出现一条血口。 The Zhang Xiang blade edge ghosts and demons break out the sword blade promptly, reaching behind the back to pull away Captain Wolf Guards, actually also showed a flaw. 张翔刀锋鬼魅及时劈开剑刃,回手想拉开狼卫首领,却也露出了一丝破绽。 The rain clothes swordsman eyes narrow the eyes, seize this chance of a lifetime, the sword edge swift and fierce thorn to the Zhang Xiang chest. 蓑衣剑客双眼微眯,抓住这千载难逢的机会,剑锋凌厉刺向张翔心口。 „Father!” “爹！” Just drew back several steps stretch/open Tingbao, the seeing that complexion changes suddenly, swoops goes forward then to keep off the sword, pitifully the person was only impossible to run was quicker than the sword. 刚刚退出去几步的张庭豹,见状脸色骤变,飞扑上前便想挡剑,只可惜人不可能跑的比剑快。 Center rain clothes swordsman sword point Zhang Xiang chest. 蓑衣剑客剑尖正中张翔心口。 Ding — 叮— The sword jabs into the clothes robe sharp, sent out is actually the gold and metal collides resounding. 剑尖刺进衣袍,发出的却是金铁交击的脆响。 After the rain clothes guest hand the iron sword pricks the front piece, sharp is then difficult to deposit, was collapsed a curve vigorously, subsequently then collapsed two. 蓑衣客手中铁剑尖刺入衣襟后便再难存进,被大力崩出一个弧度,继而便崩成了两节。 The Zhang Xiang look is indifferent, all the year round was assassinated to Your Majesty keeps off the blade, how not to have a preparation, for a subordinate can expose weaknesses hastily, underestimated his Zhang Xiang. 张翔眼神冷漠,长年遭受明里暗里的刺杀给圣上挡刀,岂会没点准备,为了一名属下就能仓促露出破绽,也太小看他张翔了。 pā - — 啪—— The iron sword collapse broken same time, Zhang Xiang backhands a palm to lay out, brings the sleeves to send out an explosive rudely. 铁剑崩断的同一时刻,张翔反手一掌拍出,势大力沉带着衣袖发出一声爆响。 When the rain clothes swordsman in the sword breaks the secretly thought is not then wonderful, withdraws to move aside forcefully, still by a racket in shoulder. 蓑衣剑客在剑断之时便暗道不妙,强行后撤躲闪,仍然被一张拍在了肩头。 Bang —— 嘭—— The palmophyllum on rain clothes blows up like the hedgehog suddenly, subsequently the whole person was patted to fly. 蓑衣上的棕叶猛然如刺猬般鼓起,继而整个人被拍飞了出去。 Other three people have not been idling, the Liu Yun forest just near body, seemed like the blade, three black poisonous needles actually silent fling from the sleeve, pricked to take the sword to keep off under the rain clothes swordsman rib of blade directly. 其他三人也没闲着,刘云林刚刚近身,看似出刀,三枚黑色毒针却无声从袖子里甩出,直接刺入了以断剑挡刀的蓑衣剑客肋下。 The rain clothes swordsman was shaken the zhang (3.33 m) odd/surplus Yuan distance by a palm, falls to slide several steps on the blue stone floor tile, the figure passing clouds and flowing water the ball, without hesitation then the sword throws to pursuing Zhang Xiang, turned around to jump onto the fence to be missing. 蓑衣剑客被一掌震出丈余远的距离,摔在青石地砖上滑出几步,身形又行云流水般的弹起,毫不犹豫的便把断剑扔向追过来的张翔,转身跃上了围墙不见了踪影。 „Pursues!” “追！” Zhang Xiang breaks out the sword, four people jump onto the fence simultaneously, takes off and lands the form that to pursue toward the front. 张翔劈开断剑,四人同时跃上围墙,朝着前方起起落落的身影追赶。 The Liu Yun forest look was cold, is going against the back of rain clothes guest snort/hum: „This poisonous needle blocking vitality, Xue Yi practices the time unable to shoulder horizontally, this very cannot escape far.” 刘云林眼神冷冽,顶着蓑衣客的背影哼了一声:“这毒针阻塞气血,薛义一身横练功夫都扛不住,此贼跑不了多远。” Although fights is only the time of blinking, stretch/open Tingbao the whole body perspiration is wet, the complexion is pallid, opens the mouth saying: 虽然交手只是眨眼的功夫,张庭豹却已经浑身汗湿,脸色煞白,开口道: „Who is? martial arts really fierce......” “是什么人？武艺着实厉害……” The Zhang Xiang brow is tight, except for knowing with the Tang Family sword, has not seen is what status, beckons with the hand saying: 张翔眉头紧蹙,除了知道用唐家剑,也没看出是何身份,摆摆手道: „Both of you first go back to treat the wound, I pursue with Yunlin then.” “你们俩先回去治伤,我和云林追即可。” „Yes!” “诺！” stretch/open Tingbao hearing this lives in the footsteps, gazes after the person's shadow that three pursue to vanish in the lights point building groups...... 张庭豹闻言顿住脚步,目送三道前后追逐的人影消失在灯火点点的房舍群之间……
