The heavy/thick dark clouds condense the sky, the main hall eave corner/horn four auspicious animal masks of jet black to the vault of heaven, in the big imperial city everyone holds the breath the congealing air/Qi, looks that slightly compares such as the two person's shadows of ants with palatial palace wall. 厚重黑云凝聚天空,墨黑的大殿檐角四只瑞兽面向苍穹,诺大皇城之中所有人屏息凝气,看着和巍峨宫城比起来小如蝼蚁的两个人影。 chā - — 嚓嚓—— The snow white long spear/gun drags all over the body in the hand, the lance point scratches the slight sound in Baiyu Square of even glassy surface. 通体雪白的长枪拖在手中,枪尖在平如镜面的白玉广场上擦出轻微声响. Liu Changrun of Young Master robe, removed outside the garment only the personal vigor clothes, arrives at the square center, both hands holds a gun to shake fiercely, is „pā - —” an explosive, red Ying is in the boundless solemn and respectful world is quite eye-catching. 一身公子袍的刘长润,褪去了外衫只着贴身劲衣,走到广场中央,双手持枪猛地一抖,便是“啪——”的一身爆响,红缨在苍茫肃穆的天地间极为夺目。 „Guanzhong said Liu Family, Liu Changrun.” “关中道刘家,刘长润。” Liu Changrun martial arts is not bad, in Chang'an City young one generation is also the expert, at this time first arrival, naturally also won the vision of full house applause. 刘长润武艺不算差,在长安城年轻一辈中也算好手,此时第一个登场,自然也赢得了满场赞许的目光。 The Zuo Yezi vision sizes up several up and down, raises hand horizontally the black sheath long sword, said lightly: 左夜子目光上下打量几眼,横举手中黑鞘长剑,平淡道: „Zuo Yezi.” “左夜子。” Clang —— 铛—— By Imperial Throne, Eunuch Jia grasps to wrap the scarlet cloth gong hammer, sounded the inscription roaming dragon the giant copper gong. 龙椅旁,贾公公手持包裹着红布的锣锤,敲响了铭着游龙的巨大铜锣。 The audience focus attention on suddenly, continually suddenly does not have, because the military person contests, mostly in breaths. 全场骤然瞩目,连眨眼的都没有,因为武夫过招,多半就在一息之间。 „yā - —” “呀——” Liu Changrun hears the sound of gongs, the whole body clothing shakes suddenly, long spear/gun even lift/move, the stride long-range raid step is steady, the spear/gun front does not have along a vanguard rocks slightly, causes was the signboard unique skill of Jiangnan six directions gate ‚Zhongping spear/gun’. 刘长润听到锣响,浑身衣衫猛然一震,长枪平举,大步奔袭步伐稳健,枪锋沿一线前行无丝毫晃动,使的便是江南六合门的招牌绝技‘中平枪’。 „Good —” “好—” Only is this stance, Zhang Xiang, Liu Pingyang and other martial artist then looks the applause, common saying ‚moon/month stick year blade spear/gun, the treasured sword hides for a lifetime along’, can use is not easy the spear/gun, Liu Changrun is about 20 years old high and low, this Zhongping spear/gun can describe with experienced. 光是这架势,张翔、刘平阳等武人便面露赞许,常言‘月棍年刀一辈子枪,宝剑随身藏’,能把枪用好本就不容易,刘长润也不过二十岁上下,这一手中平枪可以用老练来形容了。 What a pity, how long the smile of people have not continued. 可惜,众人的笑容并没有持续多久。 Zuo Yezi draws lift the saber, just likes to the spear/gun front that the stride raids has not seen, but is waiting peacefully. 左夜子举佩剑,对大步袭来的枪锋恍若未见,只是安静等着。 „Suffers to death!” “受死！” Liu Changrun sees the opposite party so to pull rank, in the eye naturally reveals several points of angry, the going on stage life and death is proud in any case, immediately is the spear/gun leaves like the dragon, the straight thrust Zuo Yezi chest. 刘长润见对方如此托大,眼中自然露出几分恼怒,反正上了场生死自负,当下便是枪出如龙,直刺左夜子心口。 The Zhongping spear/gun was fastidious about ‚spear/gun to grip a line’, a draw, the spear/gun draw, the shoulder draw and knee were even, therefore also said that ‚Siping spear/gun’, a collection whole body physical strength prompt piercing left, wants to defend directly very difficultly. 中平枪讲究‘枪扎一条线’,头平、枪平、肩平、膝平,所以又称‘四平枪’,集全身气力一点刺出,想要正面防住很难。 When people doubts Zuo Yezi was ignorant, actually saw the response slow black clothes young people, when crossed the long sword that hand Zhongping lifted to the long spear pierces, reversed the wrist/skill, the long sword knocks fiercely on the rifle stock. 就在众人疑惑左夜子是不是懵了的时候,却见反应迟缓的黑衣年轻人,待到长枪刺过了手中平举的长剑,才扭转手腕,长剑猛地磕在了枪杆上。 pā - — 啪—— The rifle that Liu Changrun under punctures full power changes the direction instantaneously, scratched from the waist of Zuo Yezi, has not injured and opponent slightest. 刘长润全力之下刺出的大枪瞬间改变方向,从左夜子的腰边擦了过去,未伤及对手分毫。 Zhang Xiang eyes with a smile fierce narrows the eyes, in the eye flashed through several points of stunned. 含笑的张翔双眼猛的一眯,眼中闪过了几分错愕。 „This strength of hand!......” “这手劲！……” But Emperor near Eunuch Jia, before having the spear/gun then shakes the head. 而天子近前的贾公公,则在出枪前便摇了摇头。 When most people have not responded, cracks open Zuo Yezi of rifle, even the sword was disinclined to pull out, lifts the hand to grasp to Liu Changrun neck. 就在大部分人都没有反应过来的时候,磕开大枪的左夜子,连剑都懒得拔,抬手就抓向了刘长润的脖子。 A Liu Changrun spear pierces leaves full power, completely without thinking will be knocked the leaning direction vigorously, before the potential of flushing had/left the spear/gun, before the step still stopped without enough time then arrived at the Zuo Yezi body, but also without seeing clearly condition, neck then fiercely one tightly. Subsequently the whole person was pressed firmly between the fingers the neck to raise high, then pounds toward the ground fiercely! 刘长润全力一枪刺出,完全没想到会被大力磕偏方向,以前冲之势出枪,步伐尚来不及停顿便到了左夜子身前,还没看清状况,脖子便猛地一紧。继而整个人被一把捏住脖子高高提起,然后往地上猛地一砸！ Bang —— 嘭—— The dull thumping sound sound spreads is very far. 闷响声传出很远。 Tall and sturdy Liu Changrun falls like the broken gunnysack on the ground, even/including Menheng has not sent out with enough time, fainted at the scene. 人高马大的刘长润如同破麻袋般摔在地上,连闷哼都没来得及发出,当场就晕厥了过去。 „!!!” “！！！” The audience suddenly syllabic final, in the eye full is stunned. 全场骤然收声,眼中满是错愕。 highest ranked military officer Liu Pingyang fierce standing up, knocked over the case stage before body directly, lifts finger the square center, opens mouth quite a while unable to speak. 太尉刘平阳猛的站起身来,直接碰翻了身前的案台,抬手指着广场中心,张嘴半天说不出话来。 Xiao Chuyang and other royal government great people frown, obviously has not thought Liu Changrun lies down is so simple. 萧楚杨等朝廷大人物都是蹙眉,显然没想到刘长润躺下的这么干脆。 „Lost?” “就这么输了？” Is implicated Empress Dowager after bead curtain , is opening mouth eyeful bewildered, others look, felt Liu Changrun threatens to overrun, was seized the neck to fall the ground, the movement passing clouds and flowing water form a coherent whole, acts in a play to be the same with stage on. 连坐在珠帘后的太后,也是张着嘴满眼莫名其妙,旁人看去,感觉就是刘长润气势汹汹冲过去,然后被人掐住脖子摔地上,动作行云流水一气呵成,和戏台子上演戏一样。 The full house royal courtiers are stunned, only has to meet martial arts stretch/open Tingbao, Tang Jiuren and the others the look to be serious. 满场朝臣都是错愕,唯有会武艺的张庭豹、唐九儿等人眼神严肃。 The laymen watch the fun, the expert looks at the way. 外行看热闹,内行看门道。 Zuo Yezi has not just now drawn a sword, closely with the wrist/skill turn over long sword, then knocked leaning for the Zhongping spear/gun that ‚steady ruthless’ was famous. 方才左夜子未拔剑,紧紧以手腕翻转长剑,便磕偏了以‘稳准狠’著称的中平枪。 Even if Liu Changrun scholarship not fine, the style is dead, stretch/open Tingbao deduces secretly, if oneself put down lifts Yanling Blade to come, definitely is knocks the motionless rifle, his father Zhang Xiang actually, but Zhang Xiang is the full land under heaven ten thousand people of slaughters, to is less than 20 only then! 哪怕是刘长润学艺不精,招式是死的,张庭豹暗暗推演,若是自己平举雁翎刀这么来一下,肯定是磕不动大枪,他爹张翔倒是可以,但张翔已经是名满天下的万人屠了,对方可才不到二十！ Full house quiet silent moment. 满场寂寂无声了片刻。 Zuo Yezi looks down Liu Changrun who the life and death did not know, somewhat senseless turning around, looks to the young people who side one group of children waited to go on stage: 左夜子低头看了看生死不知的刘长润,有些无趣的转过身来,望向了侧面一帮子等待上场的年轻人: „If this gang of lowlifes, on, Great Yue Emperor of province your majesty looks together annoyed.” “若都是这种臭鱼烂虾,一起上吧,省的大玥皇帝陛下看着心烦。” „Your ——” “你——” Tang Jiuren and Situ Huyu and the others the surface color temperature get angry, Tang Jiuren cold sound ridiculed one: 唐九儿和司徒琥羽等人面色温怒,唐九儿冷声讥讽了一句: „Child of birth army five Liu highest ranked military officer, was not the Jianghu person, must let success go to the head not.” “刘太尉之子出生军伍,本就不是江湖人,莫要得意忘形。” Zuo Yezi lifted the hand to cancel the check: „Comes up the speech.” 左夜子抬手勾了勾:“上来说话。” pā - — pā - — pā - — 啪——啪——啪—— Before Taiji Hall, the Song Ji expression has no change actually, patted clapping, commended: „Since old times the hero had/left the youngster, young and impetuous is the good deed. Holds long sleek/moist, Tang Jiuren, you also with the sword, come up and Zuo Yezi compared with previous one compare.” 太极殿前,宋暨表情倒是没有什么变化,拍了拍手,赞许道:“自古英雄出少年,年轻气盛是好事。把长润扶下去吧,唐九儿,你也是用剑的,上去和左夜子比上一比。” Many facial features serious royal courtiers then recover ——, although Liu Changrun fell face down, but Liu Changrun martial arts was not high, was only the birth door, met the true Jianghu expert not to be victorious also normally, the military person contested is a move decides the victory and defeat mostly, lost quickly there is no strangely, behind to also to have the pressure bottom has not come out. 诸多面容严肃的朝臣这才回过神来——虽然刘长润趴下了,不过刘长润本就武艺不高,只是出生将门而已,遇上真正的江湖好手打不过也正常,武夫过招多半都是一招定胜负,输这么快没什么奇怪的,后面可还有压箱底的没出来。 The royal courtiers relax secretly, praised several in front of envoy Chen Xuan, to regard great nation bearing. 朝臣暗暗松了口气,也在使臣陈轩面前夸赞了几句,以视大国气度。 Tang Jiuren martial clothing, raises the long sword to go down the side hall stair, first is bowing a ritual to Song Ji, then the standing body , the draw lifts the long sword: 唐九儿一袭武服,提着长剑走下偏殿台阶,先是对着宋暨躬身一礼,然后站直身体,同样平举长剑: „Youzhou Tang Family, Tang nine!” “幽州唐家,唐九！” Great Yue has four with aristocratic family of sword, East Sea Lu Family and Youzhou Tang Family, Zhu Family and Land of Chu Cao Family, various sword study are not all same, takes Lu Family as the leader, other three are next. However, wished two to be brought disaster to by Iron Eagle Hunting Deer in the land, because Cao Family Jianghu past event to seal/confer sword after the chest, Tang Family gradually becomes the swordsmanship leader. 大玥用剑的世家有四个,东海陆家、幽州唐家、祝家、楚地曹家,各家剑学皆不相同,其中以陆家为魁首,其他三家次之。不过在陆、祝两家被铁鹰猎鹿殃及,曹家因为江湖旧事封剑于匣后,唐家逐渐成为了剑道魁首。 The sword is in the soldier nobleman, is the Jianghu person uses most weapons. The Tang Family sword is well-known by Tibet with the world, light and lively indistinct is strangely difficult to seek, was called ‚the green bamboo snake mouth’ on Jianghu, touches receives, touching dies. 剑乃兵中君子,是江湖人使用最多的兵器。唐家剑以‘藏’闻名与世,轻灵飘渺诡异难寻,在江湖上又被称之为‘青竹蛇儿口’,一触即收,触之即死。 Tang Jiuren is the Tang Family son of first wife, the rank old nine, but the natural talent is most outstanding, in division of that severe Jianghu eldest son of legal wife, basically has not been the next Tang Family head of household's candidate, accepts a challenge the Northern Qi Imperial Preceptor apprentice, is well-matched. 唐九儿是唐家的嫡子,排行老九,不过天资最为出众,在嫡长之分没那么严苛的江湖,基本上就是下一任唐家家主的人选了,来应战北齐国师的徒弟,也算是旗鼓相当。 After Zuo Yezi grasps the long sword identifies one's role when first coming on stage, before Taiji Hall, is a sound of gongs. 左夜子手持长剑自报家门后,太极殿前又是一声锣响。 The people raised the mind, concentrates on to look at two young people, knows that this is a tough battle. 众人提起了心神,全神贯注看着两个年轻人,知道这是一场硬仗。 Tang Jiuren draws lift the long sword, perhaps is because just now Liu Changrun loses face, therefore does not have the choice first to begin, but waits for the opposite party first to have move of him to come the broken move. 唐九儿举长剑,或许是因为方才刘长润丢了大人,所以没选择先动手,而是等着对方先出招他来破招。 Whistling —— 呼呼—— Long hair that breeze blow hangs loose. 微风吹拂披散下来的长发。 The Zuo Yezi leaning head, after seeing Tang Jiuren not to have the meaning of attack slightly, proceeds one step...... 左夜子微微偏头,见唐九儿没有进攻的意思后,往前一步…… Bang —— 嘭—— The white jade stone brick instantaneous crack, the black long gown changes into the remnant shadow. 白玉石砖瞬间龟裂,黑色长袍化为残影。 In the midair the cold light flashes. 半空中寒光一闪。 Qiāng lang —— 呛啷—— Called on this sword after together the snow light together. 就这样一道剑鸣和一道雪光之后。 Zuo Yezi fell on Tang Jiuren behind, leisure received luminously such as the new long sword, the leaning head looked that to side hall that the waiting went on stage, the sound was light: 左夜子落在了唐九儿身后,慢条斯理的收起了光亮如新的长剑,偏头看向等待上场的偏殿下方,声音平淡: „Next!” “下一个！” „......” “……” Tang Jiuren is the draw lifts the posture of long sword as before, the same black hair from flutters shoulder to shoulder slowly, a bloodstain falls before the volume slowly, the facial features delay, shakes the hand of sword to shiver slightly. 唐九儿依旧是平举长剑的姿势,一律黑发从并肩缓慢飘下,一线血痕从额前慢慢滑落,面容呆滞,握剑的手微微颤抖。 Zuo Yezi speaks, the turning head look is contemptuous: „Almost forgot, excuse me, the sword comes out of the sheath to see the blood, your Tang Family also has this custom probably.” 左夜子说完话,回过头来眼神轻蔑:“差点忘了,不好意思,剑出鞘就要见血,你们唐家好像也有这个规矩。” „......” “……” „This...... this......” “这……这……” „Whish ——” “哗——” The full house moves restlessly, the teacup overturns and sucks in the cold air the sound continuously. 满场躁动,茶杯打翻和倒抽凉气的声音此起彼伏。 Zhang Xiang touched the neck subconsciously, originally prepares to look for opportunity previous time stretch/open Tingbao in same place, opening the eye is eyeful. 张翔下意识摸了摸脖子,本来准备找机会上次的张庭豹愣在原地,睁大眼睛满眼不可思议。 The teacup in Song Ji hand shook , the tea splashed to sprinkle on the back of the hand had not cared, the frown tightened somewhat cannot understand. 宋暨手中的茶杯晃了下,茶水溅出洒在了手背上都没在意,双眉紧锁有些看不懂。 Eunuch Jia sighed gently, slow sound said: 贾公公轻轻叹了口气,缓声道: „Your Majesty, Tang Jiuren had a low opinion of the enemy.” “圣上,唐九儿轻敌了。” But the royal courtier on the scene exploded the pot directly, the martial arts official nearly will not be breathless, the anger asked how Zhang Xiang and the others can the matter, Tang Family served the interest of outsiders. 而在场的朝臣则直接炸了锅,本就不会武艺的文臣近乎气急败坏,怒问张翔等人怎么会事儿,唐家是不是吃里扒外了。 Even Xiao Chuyang and the others the brow was also tight, detected today's was not right. 连萧楚杨等人也眉头紧蹙,发觉了今天的不对劲。 Tang Jiuren cannot be victorious to understand, after all the military person fights always has slip the time. 唐九儿打不过可以理解,毕竟武夫争锋总有失手的时候。 May lose is uglier than Liu Changrun...... 可输的比刘长润还难看…… Lu Cheng'an is stroking gently finger, pondered over slightly under: „The future is bad, today Your Majesty feared that was not good to end...... cannot lose again......” 陆承安摩挲着手指,略微琢磨了下:“来者不善,今天圣上怕是不好收场……不能再输了……” Xiao Chuyang inspires, carries the teacup to sip one: „Tang Jiuren considered to have a low opinion of the enemy, Situ Huyu was calm, will not lose.” 萧楚杨吸了口气,端起茶杯抿了一口:“唐九儿当是轻敌了,司徒琥羽性格沉稳,不会输。” After bead curtain, Empress Dowager complexion very annoyed, pats the tight thigh, the angry sound was complaining: 珠帘之后,太后脸色非常的恼火,拍着紧绷绷的大腿,怒声抱怨: „Zhang Xiang looks is any things, will not pull out the sword, at least hits two, this what's the matter......” “张翔找的都是些什么东西,连剑都不会拔,至少打两下呀,这算怎么回事……” Xu Buling carried the wine glass to sip one lightly, shook the head saying: 许不令端着酒杯轻抿了一口,摇头道: „Cannot pull out.” “拔不出来。” Empress Dowager somewhat worries, clenches teeth saying: „This competition concerns the national prestige, if made the mistake, Your Majesty and I face puts toward there, martial artist between marketplaces must the rebellion inadequately......” 太后有些着急,咬牙道:“此次比试关乎国威,若是出了差错,圣上和本宫的面子往那里放,市井间的武人非得造反不成……” Chirp chirp cha cha. 叽叽喳喳。 Is then silent in most martial artist, other person at sixes and sevens noisy times, sudden cheered the stand that converged from the child of aristocracy to resound: 便在大部分武人沉默,其余人乱七八糟的吵闹的时候,突如其来的一阵喝彩从王侯之子云集的看台上响起: „Okay good! The hit attractiveness, wins!” “好好好！打的漂亮,赢啦！” „......” “……” Originally the tight silent atmosphere, somewhat bewildered, but also thinks that the Northern Qi young child who this delighted laughter makes is clamoring, angry glare looks...... 本来紧张沉默的气氛,被这道喜笑颜开的笑声弄的有些莫名其妙,还以为北齐小儿在叫嚣,怒目偏头看去…… A Xiao Ting foot steps in the table, just and several Vassal King Heir Apparent blow the mental perception like the torch, detained. 萧庭一只脚踩在桌子上,正和几个藩王世子吹自己慧眼如炬,押中了。 The Empress Dowager words stop suddenly, closely is gripping the phoenix skirt, wishes one could to look for a tunnel to worm one's way into. 太后话语戛然而止,紧紧攥着凤裙,恨不得找个地洞钻进去。 Although is somewhat inopportune, but the good and evil also calculates that awakened the people. 虽然有些不合时宜,不过好歹也算唤醒了众人。 Song Ji puts down the teacup, the shaking the head chuckle, lifted the hand: 宋暨把茶杯放下,摇头轻笑,抬了抬手: „Tang Jiuren, the young people were selected to rub are being the good deed, how otherwise to understand ‚outside mountain green mountain Louwai Tower’, later also needs many whets, gets down.” “唐九儿,年轻人受点搓着是好事,不然怎么会明白‘山外青山楼外楼’,以后还需多加磨砺,下去吧。” In same place for a long time Tang nine, looks the sword that has not pulled out, scratched the bloodstain of temple, after bowing good a ritual, somewhat scared leaves the stage...... 愣在原地许久的唐九,看着还没拔出来的剑,擦了擦鬓角的血迹,躬身行了一礼后,有些失魂落魄的退了场……
