Old servant Yang Zheng guides, one line of five people, pass through a lawn by starlight first, then crossed a hill, turned nearby the manor on the only unsurfaced road, the lush thick patch of grass vanished without the trace, separation, they have entered into an entirely different world, performing was the hard soil and crushed stone, small book child Ming Xiang dreaded moaned. 老仆杨峥带路,一行五人趁着夜色,先是经过一片草地,接着翻过一座小山,拐到了庄园附近唯一的土路上,茂盛的草丛消失无踪,一步之隔,他们迈入了一个截然不同的世界,尽是坚硬的泥土与碎石,小书童茗香畏惧地呻吟了一声。 Gu Shenwei has been in half dream partly to awake, short-sword on getting married and waist of march and Elder Sister in dark night, all obviously are not real, until horizon flood white, he sobers, the surprise discovery sunlight shoots from the back. 顾慎为一直处于半梦半醒之间,黑夜中的行进、姐姐的出嫁、腰上的短剑,一切都显那么不真实,直到天边泛白,他才清醒过来,诧异地发现阳光是从背后射来的。 „Well, are we are going to the west?” The Cui Lan husband's family's home is the Central Plains public figure, marriage that since childhood decides, accompanying the bride to her new home should be right toward east. “咦,咱们是在向西去吗？”翠兰的婆家是中原人士,从小定的亲事,送亲应该一路往东才对。 Yang Zheng un, probably small Young Master issue has been unworthy ambiguously answers, after a while said: „We go to the Shu Le city first, there has the officers to escort us.” 杨峥含糊地嗯了一声,好像小少爷的问题不值一答,过了一会才说道:“咱们先去疏勒城,那里有官兵护送咱们。” „Shu Le city?” Gu Shenwei called out pleasantly surprised, the Shu Le country is the Western Region biggest country, strict, the Gu Family manor is located in this border, its capital city occupying land area is generally populous, is lively place that Western Region ranks among the best, Gu Shenwei early hears Qiming, moves to this place more than two years, actually with own eyes cannot see. “疏勒城？”顾慎为惊喜地叫道,疏勒国是西域最大的国家,严格来说,顾家的庄园就位于该国境内,它的都城占地广大人口稠密,是西域数一数二的繁华之地,顾慎为早闻其名,迁至此地两年多,却一直未曾亲眼得见。 Gu Lun once was the senior official in Central Plains, Gu Shenwei did not think that the Shu Le country dispatches troops to escort to have any strange, he only thought that his ostentation was too small. 顾仑曾经在中原担任高官,顾慎为一点也不觉得疏勒国派兵护送有什么奇怪,他只觉得自家的排场太小了些。 Miss Cui Lan has sat well on the horseback, as if to this arrangement any objection, Gu Shenwei had not restored the vigor, kept pace with Elder Sister, talks over the Shu Le city to see any interesting thing, drew out the short-sword, was brandishing decent, Cui Lan was quiet, occasionally said several words, was urges the younger brother more careful. 翠兰小姐一直端坐在马背上,似乎对这个安排没有任何异议,顾慎为恢复了活力,与姐姐并驾齐驱,念叨着到了疏勒城能看到什么有意思的东西,又拔出短剑,像模像样地挥舞着,翠兰少言寡语,偶尔开口说几句话,都是劝弟弟小心些。 Although only big three years old, Cui Lan is actually nursing like mother to this mischievous younger brother. 虽然只大了三岁,翠兰对这个淘气的弟弟却像母亲一样看护着。 Because two young girls, the group walk very slowly, high noon the sunlight is blazing, Yang Zheng has not stopped the rest the meaning, Cui Lan and maidservant has a little swayed, actually suppressed was not saying, Gu Shenwei loved dearly Elder Sister, oneself a little could not endure the insolation that faced directly to come, screams must drink water to eat meal. 因为有两名少女,一行人走得很慢,正午阳光炽烈,杨峥也没有停下休息的意思,翠兰和丫环已经有点摇晃了,却都强忍着不说,顾慎为心疼姐姐,自己也有点忍受不住直面而来的暴晒,大声嚷嚷着要喝水吃饭。 At this moment, behind hears the rapid hoofbeat faintly. 就在这时,后面隐隐传来急促的马蹄声。 Yang Zheng jumped down the cowboy to listen carefully a meeting, loosened the long spear/gun that habitually used from the horse body, stood in the unsurfaced roads, the white hair was floating, powerful. 杨峥跳下马仔细听了一会,从马身右侧解下惯用的长枪,立在土路中间,白发飘飘,威风凛凛。 Other people on own initiative fall back on roadside, only then Gu Shenwei eye one bright, jumps down the horse, draws out the short-sword, stands with Yang Zheng shoulder to shoulder. 其他人都自觉地退到路边,只有顾慎为眼睛一亮,也跳下马,拔出短剑,与杨峥并肩站立。 „Elder Sister, do not fear, I hit the robber!” “姐姐,别怕,我来打强盗！” „Be not keeping off me.” Yang Zheng horizontal long spear/gun, allocates for small Young Master back with rifle stock, he is very high in the Gu Family status, except for Master Gu Lun, he is impolite to anyone, particularly Gu Shenwei in name his apprentice. “别挡着我。”杨峥横起长枪,用枪杆将小少爷拨到后边,他在顾家地位很高,除了老爷顾仑,他对谁都不客气,尤其是顾慎为名义上还是他的徒弟。 Gu Shenwei is shaking the short-sword discontentedly, the opportunity that but also wants to catch to kill the enemy for oneself, saw the distant place to raise a piece of dust at this time, the pursuing troops arrived. 顾慎为不满地晃着短剑,还想为自己争取杀敌的机会,这时就见远处扬起一片灰尘,追兵已经到了。 Altogether three people, the black clothes, is all restraining the horses to more than 20 steps places, has drawn out the waist sword together. 一共三个人,皆着黑衣,离有20余步的地方勒住马匹,一起拔出了腰刀。 „The Gu Family person must return to Gu Family to go.” The middle black-clothed person said, the sound chilling likely is the rusty iron slab. “顾家的人要回顾家去。”中间的黑衣人说,声音冷硬得像是生锈的铁块。 „Obscure individual should roll to return to one's old home.” Yang Zheng very long spear/gun. “无名之辈应该滚回老家去。”杨峥挺起了长枪。 Gu Clan is fastidious about „sword and spear outstanding in both fields”, first practices the blade, then practices the spear/gun, Yang Zheng is skilled in the spearplay especially, although by an enemy three, actually does not fear. 顾氏一门讲究“刀枪双绝”,先练刀,再练枪,杨峥尤其精于枪术,虽然以一敌三,却也丝毫不惧。 Left-hand side black-clothed person sycophancy brandishes a sword to kill. 左首的黑衣人拍马挥刀杀来。 Yang Zheng carries the long spear/gun, the lance point is referring to slantingly, two legs separate, under squats slightly, that appearance looks like the farmer grasps the hoe pickaxe, the wicked wolf that the resistance throws. 杨峥端着长枪,枪尖斜斜指上,两腿分开,稍稍下蹲,那幅模样就像是庄稼汉手持锄镐,对抗扑来的恶狼。 The black-clothed person kill the vicinity, the waist sword lift up high high in airborne, ruthlessly will chop, in the Yang Zheng hand the long spear/gun punctures quickly. 黑衣人杀到近处,腰刀高高举在空中,正要狠狠砍下,杨峥手中长枪倏地刺出。 This punctures is simple and level, does not have a trick, cannot see some big efforts, as if the child can also hide, the black-clothed person cannot respond, in the chest the move, falls with the blade together falls, has not sent repeatedly, the cross below horse continued to run bewilderedly to stop. 这一刺即简单又平实,没有一点花招,也看不出有多大力度,似乎小孩子也能躲得开,黑衣人却偏偏反应不过来,胸膛中招,连人带刀一起摔落,连声啊都没发出来,跨下的马继续跑了一阵才莫名其妙地停下来。 Another two black-clothed person cannot help but urged the horses to retrocede two steps. 另两名黑衣人不由自主地催着马匹后退了两步。 Gu Shenwei actually excitedly runs the first two steps, he did not think the skill in martial arts of master excel, especially has the veiled criticism to own marksmanship, daily pokes, many years, Yang Zheng has not practiced other style, has not thought that so simple pokes has such might unexpectedly, small Young Master cannot help but all holds in high esteem to the master and handed down in the family spearplay. 顾慎为却兴奋地跑前两步,他一直不觉得师父的武艺有多高强,特别是对自家的枪法颇有微词,天天戳来戳去,多少年了,杨峥就没练过别的招式,没想到,如此简单的一戳竟有如此威力,小少爷不由得对师父和家传枪术全都刮目相看。 The remaining two black-clothed person looked at one mutually, lifts the blade respectively, simultaneously the sycophancy attack, one on the left and other on the right, wants to carry on the converging attack. 剩下的两名黑衣人互相望了一眼,各自举刀,同时拍马进攻,一左一右,想要进行夹击。 Before Gu Shenwei gathers up, wants to examine the might of short-sword, actually he has never studied the sword technique, absent-mindedly has practiced several sets of knife skills, for him, and has not distinguished with blade anything with the sword. 顾慎为凑上前,也想检验一下自己短剑的威力,其实他从未学过剑术,就心不在焉地练过几套刀法,对他来说,用剑和用刀没什么区别。 Yang Zheng allocates for small Young Master with the rifle stock once more behind, is still the both legs slightly curved, long spear/gun before, probably his only such move. 杨峥再次用枪杆将小少爷拨到身后,依然是双腿微弯,长枪冲前,好像他就只会这么一招。 Sometimes a move on the foot, dozens years of Yang Zheng gradually in the Gu Clan spearplay, every day most little pokes 1000 times, regardless of the winter and summer sleet, never interrupts, in others opinion this is only an ordinary stamp, in his heart is actually one move of ten thousand moves, a move arrives at ten thousand moves, more practices is marvelous infinite, the accumulated taste is hard to speak. 有时候一招就足矣,杨峥在顾氏枪术上浸淫数十年,每日最少戳1000次,无论寒暑雨雪,从未间断,在别人看来这只是平淡无奇的一戳,在他心中却是一招化万招,一招抵万招,越练越是奇妙无穷,其中蕴味难以言说。 Only then Master Gu Lun can understand that his thoughts, after all this set of spearplay is Gu Lun teaches to Yang Zheng, Gu Lun sighed frequently, Gu Clan „outstanding in both fields” the technique of long spear/gun can only by inherit not of the same surname. 只有老爷顾仑能理解他的心思,毕竟这套枪术就是顾仑传授给杨峥的,顾仑常常叹息说,顾氏“双绝”中的长枪之术只能由外姓继承了。 For this reason, Yang Zheng is loyal and devoted to Gu Family, only then wants him, does not allow anybody to injure Young Master and young lady. 因为这个原因,杨峥对顾家忠心耿耿,只有要他在,就绝不允许任何人伤害少爷与小姐。 Two black-clothed person kill. 两名黑衣人杀到。 Yang Zheng punctures two spears/guns continually, speed was fast simultaneously has stabbed probably two people. 杨峥连刺两枪,速度快得好像是同时刺中了两人。 A black-clothed person drops under horse not without making a sound, another person a pitiful yell, has swayed several, has not fallen unexpectedly, the both legs clamp, the whole body bends down lowly, flees to the west side. 一名黑衣人一声不吭地跌落马下,另一人啊的一声惨叫,摇晃了几下,竟然没有落马,双腿一夹,全身低俯,向西边奔逃。 Yang Zheng turned around to lift gun single-handed, looked at a meeting, made an effort to shoot, one zhang (3.33 m) long long spear/gun projected straightly, was equally steady with the javelin fast. 杨峥转身单手举枪,瞄了一会,用力掷出,一丈多长的长枪笔直地射出,与标枪一样平稳快速。 Beyond 30, the black-clothed person was passed through the chest by long spear/gun, falls like the rag doll in the ground. 30步以外,黑衣人被长枪直贯胸膛,像布偶一样掉在地面上。 „Master Yang!” Gu Shenwei was also pleasantly surprised is also admiration called out, „taught me the marksmanship!” “杨师父！”顾慎为又是惊喜又是敬佩地叫道,“教我枪法吧！” „Every day is poking 500 to the target, three years later little to become, then every day pokes 1000, insists for ten years, the spearplay practiced.” “每天对着靶子戳500下,三年之后小成,然后每日戳1000下,坚持十年,枪术就练成了。” „That might as well practice ‚Balanced Power’, ten years later is fiercer.” “那不如练‘合和劲’,十年之后更厉害。” „Un, line.” Yang Zheng arrives by the corpse, draws out long spear/gun, wipes the blood stain on the black-clothed person, turns over/stands up to start , to continue to hurry along. His enthusiasm to the small Young Master does not care, was thrown the corpse on road to be the same with that three. “嗯,也行。”杨峥走到尸体旁边,拔出长枪,在黑衣人身上擦去血污,翻身上马,继续赶路。他对小少爷的热情不放在心上,就和那三具被抛在路上的尸体一样。 Balanced Power is the Gu Clan handed down in the family internal strength, always passes on the child not to pass on the female biography not to pass on outside, the might is enormous, is the Gu Clan martial learn/study foundation, Yang Zheng is trusted by Gu Lun deeply, has not obtained the instruction. 合和劲是顾氏家传内功,向来传子不传女传内不传外,威力极大,是顾氏武学的根基,杨峥深受顾仑信任,也没获得传授。 Gu Shenwei starting from several years old on practice Balanced Power, nearly ten years, but also in crossing the threshold first bogging down, was sets the record in the Gu Clan all previous dynasties descendants to practice the speed slowest record. 顾慎为从几岁开始就练习合和劲,将近十年了,还在入门第一层停滞不前,算是创下了顾氏历代子孙中修练速度最慢的纪录。 Five people continue, Gu Shenwei is interested in the origin of robber, Yang Zheng did not say a word, he has to discuss with small book child Ming Xiang earnestly, Elder Sister Cui Lan and maidservant chrysanthemum fragrant slowly from frightening restored, occasionally also inserted one. 五人继续前行,顾慎为对强盗的来历十分感兴趣,杨峥一言不发,他只好与小书童茗香热切地讨论,姐姐翠兰和丫环菊香慢慢从惊吓中恢复,偶尔也插一句。 Discussed a double-hour, the Gu Shenwei enthusiasm has extinguished, Yang Zheng said suddenly: 讨论了一个时辰,顾慎为的热情熄灭了,杨峥却突然说道: „His martial arts is very good.” “他武功很好。” „Who?” The Gu Shenwei surprise asked. “谁？”顾慎为诧异地问。 „That that almost escapes.” “差点逃跑的那个。” „He? I look sloppily ordinary, a move has not caused you to be shot to pass the heart by the master to be cool. No, his martial arts is very indeed good, is our Gu Family marksmanship is fiercer, is?” “他？我看稀松平常,一招没使出来就被师傅你射个了透心凉。不,他武功的确很好,可是咱们顾家枪法更厉害,是不是？” „Hehe.” “呵呵。” Yang Zheng has not argued, the expert contends in martial arts often in several moves a minute of victory and defeat to decide the life and death, a move the person not necessarily ratio of defeat wins with just one fatal strike difference many, will change the time place, the situation will possibly invert, the subtlety, very difficult to explain clearly to the bystander, although Gu Shenwei was surnamed Gu, studied the handed down in the family martial arts time not to be short, but never reached highest knowledge, was still „bystander”. 杨峥没有争论下去,高手比武往往数招内分胜负定生死,一招即败的人未必比一招制胜者差多少,换个时间地点,情形可能就会颠倒,其间的微妙,很难向外人解释清楚,顾慎为虽然姓顾,修习家传武功时间也不短,但从未登堂入室,仍算是“外人”。 Also took a section of road, the weather fades out, Yang Zheng is willing to stop the rest finally, does not have the shop without the village, said is the rest, sits for a while in the stone of roadside. 又走了一段路,天色渐暗,杨峥终于肯停下休息,前后无村无店,说是休息,也不过是在路边的石块上小坐而已。 Rushes about for day, Gu Shenwei was exhausted, by side Elder Sister, Ming Xiang and chrysanthemum fragrance discovers the dry rations and water from the package, takes care the master to dine. 奔波一天,顾慎为已经精疲力尽,靠在姐姐身边,茗香、菊香从包裹中找出干粮与水,服侍主人进餐。 Yang Zheng has eaten several simply, looks around to east repeatedly, was still maintaining 12 vigilance. 杨峥简单吃了几口,频频向东张望,仍保持着12分的警惕。 Gu Shenwei to Master Yang excessive discrete somewhat thinks otherwise, Master Yang not only from father there learned marksmanship, but also has studied his old-fashioned disposition, three corpses are placed on the main road, what person but also there is to dare to pursue again? 顾慎为对杨师父的过分谨慎有些不以为然,杨师父不仅从父亲那里学会了枪法,还学了他那古板的性格,三具尸体摆在大路上,还有什么人敢再追来？ „Happy Young Master, very vital duties, do not know that you are willing to do?” Gu Family only then Yang Zheng called Gu Shenwei „happy Young Master”. “欢少爷,有一件挺重要的任务,不知你愿不愿意做？”顾家只有杨峥称顾慎为“欢少爷”。 „Wants, is kills the robber to be related?” Gu Shenwei rises with a spring excitedly. “愿意愿意,是和杀强盗有关吗？”顾慎为兴奋地一跃而起。 „Un, but this matter does to be not quite easy, happy Young Master does not use reluctantly.” “嗯,不过这事做起来不大容易,欢少爷不用勉强。” „Difficultly is better.” Gu Shenwei is holding the sword hilt, said proud. “越困难越好。”顾慎为扶着剑柄,骄傲地说。 „I want you at high speed, goes to the Shu Le city to move the reinforcement to come.” “我要你快马加鞭,去疏勒城搬救兵来。” „Reinforcement? Didn't the robbers die?” “救兵？强盗不是死了吗？” „Possibly will have more robbers to pursue.” “可能还会有更多强盗追来。” „Master spear/gun, I...... Two sword, all kill off them.” “师父一枪一个,我……两剑一个,把他们全杀光。” „But their people are many, we, are very difficult to protect the young lady to be complete.” “可是他们人多,就咱们两个人,很难保护小姐周全。” Gu Shenwei looked at Elder Sister Cui Lan one, „is reasonable, do I go, whom look for? King?” 顾慎为看了姐姐翠兰一眼,“有道理,我去,找谁？国王吗？” „No, you look for Marshal Yang to the Shu Le city, said that Yang Zheng invited him, he understands.” “不,你到疏勒城找杨元帅,就说杨峥请他,他自会明白。” „Okay.” “好好。” Gu Shenwei stands up must start, Yang Zheng entrains him, „and Ming Xiang changes the clothes, your this is not suitable to ride the fast horse.” 顾慎为站起身就要上马,杨峥拽住他,“和茗香换下衣服,你这身不适合骑快马。” Yang Zheng arranges officially, Gu Shenwei is excited, Ming Xiang somewhat does not want actually, was drawn the distant place by small Young Master, has exchanged the clothes. 杨峥安排得越正式,顾慎为越是兴奋,茗香倒是有几分不愿意,被小少爷强拉到远处,互换了衣裳。 Only those who made Gu Shenwei not quick was, Yang Zheng also confiscated his short-sword, said that was on his road has no need, „to the west, at high speed, a day a night has been able to go to the Shu Le city.” 唯一令顾慎为不快的是,杨峥将他的短剑也没收,说是他路上用不着,“一直向西,快马加鞭,一天一夜就能到疏勒城。” Gu Shenwei jumping up horse, one all day weary all vanishes without a trace, shows the bright smiling face to Elder Sister, „I moved the reinforcement to come back!” 顾慎为跳上马,一整天的疲倦全都消失得无影无踪,向姐姐露出灿烂的笑容,“等我搬救兵回来！” This time he was so pure, has not closely examined the details, even did not have to think own anything did not have the belt/bring, how on the road should solve the food and drink problem. 这时的他还是如此单纯,没有追问详情,甚至没想到自己什么都没带,路上该如何解决吃喝问题。 Gu Family small Young Master rides a horse more runs is farther, gradually turns into the horizon the small sunspot, the form that Cui Lan has gazed after the younger brother, suddenly sighed, „hope horse ran enough quickly, hopes that he do not turn head.” 顾家小少爷骑着马越跑越远,渐渐变成天边的小小黑点,翠兰一直目送弟弟的身影,忽然叹了口气,“希望马儿跑得够快,希望他不要回头。” The Yang Zheng complexion slightly changes, the young lady is young, the disposition is also gentle, the experience are many, many matters watch, in the heart understood 78. 杨峥脸色稍变,小姐年纪虽小,性格也温柔,见识却不少,许多事情看在眼里,心中已明白78分。 „Young lady forgives, the old servant racks brains , can only rescue one person.” The Yang Zheng single knee kneels down, the sound is sad. “小姐恕罪,老仆苦思冥想,也只能救得一人。”杨峥单膝跪下,声音悲切。 „Uncle Yang please get up in a big hurry, rescues younger brother, has rescued the Gu Clan entire family, does what crime have?” “杨叔叔快快请起,救得弟弟一人,就是救了顾氏全家,何罪之有？” Small book child Ming Xiang and maidservant chrysanthemum look at each other in blank dismay fragrant, did not understand the young lady in saying anything, but in the heart felt really restlessly. \; 小书童茗香与丫环菊香面面相觑,不明白小姐在说些什么,但是心中甚感不安。\;
