Chapter 193 A Heart-Breaking Song
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes fell from the sky.
Soon, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.
Chu Qing had his hair tied up with a golden hoop, and he was dressed in a brocade robe. He was tall and straight, and he was really a handsome young man.
He stepped on the wind and snow and headed straight for the martial arts academy in the state capital.
There were few pedestrians on the road.
Occasionally, a woman holding an oil-paper umbrella hurried by.
When they met Chu Qing, they would subconsciously look at him a few more times, then their faces would turn red and they would trot away.
Some brave women even stopped him to ask for directions.
Chu Qing smiled, gracefully, and rejected the impulsive love of the women.
Soon:
He came to the junction of the inner city and the outer city.
There were constables patrolling here.
When they saw Chu Qing in brocade clothes, they wanted to let him in.
But, one constable recognized him.
"He is--Chu Qing!"
"Hey, you don't have a pass, you can't enter the inner city."
The constables blocked Chu Qing's way.
Chu Qing rubbed his temples and smiled:
"How much benefit did the person who made you embarrassed give you?"
The constables looked unhappy.
"Friend, I'm sorry, we are just following orders."
"According to the rules, no one without a pass is allowed to enter the inner city."
"Please don't make things difficult for us!"
One constable held the long knife at his waist and stared at Chu Qing fiercely.
Chu Qing sneered:
"Everyone, how much do you make a month?"
"Ten taels of silver?"
"One hundred taels of silver?"
"One thousand taels of silver?"
The constables were silent.
Chu Qing poked their chests with his fingers, looked down at them, and scolded: "With such a small amount of money every month, what are you playing with?"
"Do you really think I dare not kill people?"
"Get lost!"
The scolding was not loud, but with Chu Qing's murderous intent and momentum, the constables were scared.
They retreated subconsciously.
Chu Qing smiled.
He reached out his hand and wiped the snow off the shoulders of the constables, and smiled, "Do your work well and pretend you didn't see me."
After saying that, he took out a silver note of 100 taels and stuffed it into the constable's arms.
The constables looked at each other and subconsciously made way.
Chu Qing stepped into the inner city.
There was no wall separating the inner city and the outer city.
The roads in the inner city were smoother and wider.
There were more and larger pavilions on both sides.
In those attics, cakes, rouge, powder, jewelry, silk, etc. were mostly sold.
There were also fewer pedestrians on the street.
Occasionally, there were servants walking, buying various luxury goods for their masters.
When they saw Chu Qing, they would subconsciously walk aside, not walking shoulder to shoulder with him, and would not deliberately block the road.
"Mrs. Shi's house is in the inner city."
"I'll go find her after I'm stable in the martial arts academy."
Chu Qing thought randomly.
After crossing several intersections, his hurried steps slowed down.
At this time, the wind and snow were stronger, and the snowflakes as big as fingernails hit my face randomly, which was a bit painful.
But this was not the reason why Chu Qing slowed down.
The most important reason was:
There was someone blocking the road at the intersection ahead.
The person blocking the road was a blind man.
The blind man played the erhu.
There was also a donkey beside him.
The donkey had black fur, bright eyes, and was very energetic.
What was even more strange was:
The donkey was drinking in a big wine jar.
The erhu played by the blind man was very sad, similar to the Erquan Yingyue that Chu Qing had heard in his previous life.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Chu Qing stopped only five meters away from the blind man.
The wind and snow swept in.
The sad song tore through the wind and snow, and it was clearly transmitted to Chu Qing's ears.
One minute
Three minutes
The song ended.
The blind man played the erhu lightly, and smiled from the side: "Friend, how about my song?"
Although Chu Qing was educated, he really didn't know how to evaluate this song.
He suddenly thought of a sentence from his previous life and said casually:
"A song that breaks my heart, where can I find a soulmate in the world?"
The blind man was stunned.
His fingers trembled slightly, and he continued to wipe the erhu and said: "A song that breaks my heart?"
"Where can I find a soulmate in the world?"
"Haha, good evaluation!"
"But I have a soulmate!"
"She plays the pipa better than me!"
Chu Qing's expression was serious, and he didn't want to talk.
He just wanted to - kill people!
At this time, the wind and snow suddenly became stronger.
Ang
The donkey neighed.
Canglang!
A sword light emerged from the blind man's erhu, like a meteor, piercing Chu Qing's chest.
Crash!
The dragon-snake double-headed chain gun fell.
The long spear was like a big snake, entwining the sword light.
The next second, it ran straight to the blind man.
The blind man raised his head and roared, and actually ran, so fast that ordinary people couldn't catch it with their eyes.
Sword lights bloomed and fell.
Ding Dingdangdang!
The long spear and the sword light collided.
The snow and wind were torn apart.
The donkey neighed and suddenly rushed towards Chu Qing.
Puff!
Puff!
The chain gun pierced the donkey.
The sword light flashed across Chu Qing's chest and abdomen.
The next second:
The donkey fell to the ground.
Chu Qing's clothes were torn at the chest, but his skin was safe and sound.
The blind man howled to the sky, and a long sword appeared in his left hand again.
The left and right swords strangled faster.
Ten seconds
Thirty seconds
One minute
Chu Qing suddenly abandoned the chain gun and rushed into the blind man's arms.
Wild collision!
Boom!
The violent force knocked the blind man away.
Without waiting for the blind man to land, Chu Qing caught up with him in a few steps, then soared into the air, raised one hand high, formed a hand knife, and chopped it down fiercely.
Crack!
The knife fell.
A big head fell to the ground.
Blood splattered.
It dyed Chu Qing's ponytail red.
Snap!
Chu Qing landed, and the snow and wind under his feet bloomed like plum blossoms.
"Can't you just be a blind man?"
"Why do you have to come out and kill people!"
"Why bother?"
He picked up the erhu, and then hit the blind man's heart hard.
Bang!
The erhu was embedded in the flesh and blood.
Chu Qing clapped his hands in satisfaction, and then continued to move towards the martial arts academy.
Not long after he left, a woman holding a pipa stumbled over.
She saw the blind man's body and the blind man's head, and burst into tears.
After a while, she held the blind man's head in one hand and the pipa in the other hand, and walked away in the snow and wind - crying!
Chu Qing didn't know.
At this time, he had already walked to the next intersection.
As soon as we got to the intersection, shadows jumped down from the pavilions on all sides.
The long swords were dazzling!
The swords were like flowing light!
Kill!
The dragon and snake chain guns moved around, piercing through the shadows one by one.
The bodies fell to the ground, staining the white snow red.
Crunch!
Crunch!
Chu Qing pulled the chain gun, wiped the blood on his clothes, and continued to walk towards the martial arts academy.
The beggar who was begging suddenly jumped up and stabbed.
The old man selling candied haws swung his stick and hit him.
Various stabbings continued.
Chu Qing responded one by one.
There was a restaurant next to the martial arts academy:
In the restaurant, there was a middle-aged scholar, drinking warm wine.
Servants kept coming to report:
"Report, blind Ah Xin was beheaded!"
"Report, eighteen black-clothed men were beheaded!"
"Beggars were beheaded!"
"Old men and women were killed!"
Reported one message after another.
The middle-aged scholar ate peanuts, warmed wine, and drank.
"Report, the Eight Vajra, was killed!"
Click!
The middle-aged scholar threw away the peanuts, hit the rice and wine cup, and sneered:
"A bunch of idiots!"
"How can Chu Qing be so powerful?"
"Things are difficult!"
The middle-aged scholar pondered for a moment and said: "Write a letter to Zheng Zhixiang and say that I failed."
"I won't accept his orders."
"By the way, return his money to him."
A younger brother said: "Master, we never return money in this business."
The middle-aged scholar sighed and said: "Ordinary people naturally don't return it."
"But, Zheng Zhixiang is not simple; although he has a bad relationship with his father, we must give him face and give his father face."
"Also, send a visiting card to Chu Qing for me, and send it to him when he enters the martial arts academy."
A younger brother said: "What if the martial arts academy doesn't want him?"
The middle-aged scholar said: "Then take back the visiting card!"
"Yes!"
