Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 94: Cautious people always have a backup plan
One month later, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
In the vast desert, amidst the yellow sand and smoke, an eagle flew in from afar, circled over the city for a while, and then landed in the city.
It flew across the street, flapping its wings, and finally landed in front of a window.
After a while, the window was opened and a middle-aged man with a sword on his waist stood inside. He looked at the flying eagle and carried it into the room.
This house is not small, and it would be considered a wealthy family in the Jin Dynasty.
In the room of the main building, the man called a servant to feed the eagle meat, while he sat on the seat and looked at the animal skin taken off from the eagle's feet.
This man was naturally Shu Huheng. At this moment, he was looking at the news sent by his spies in the Tang Kingdom.
"Huh?" When he finished reading the message, he made a slightly surprised sound.
The Tiger Girl has been very close to a Tang Dynasty gangster recently...
There has been no trouble until now, so has it not been noticed by the Tang court?
This was not a good sign. He pondered for a moment, folded up the animal skin and put it in his arms.
Sure enough, even a wolf that has been raised from childhood cannot be completely trusted?
Fortunately, he always has a backup plan.
Right now, the backup plan should be here soon.
"Hmph——" Shu Huheng seemed a little tired. He leaned against the seat, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.
…
It was mid-June when a tall man carrying a huge sword appeared outside the gate of the Jin capital.
His huge figure caused passers-by to look at him in surprise, and they unconsciously retreated to the sides of the road to make way.
Looking at the slightly frightened looks of the people on both sides, the man sneered and walked into the city with heavy steps.
He was extremely tall, with an average adult only reaching his waist. He had a broad back, a leopard head and arms like an ape. He wore a short animal skin coat, revealing muscles underneath that looked like piles of rocks.
But that was not enough. He also carried a giant sword the size of a door panel on his back. There was no scabbard, and the sword body was exposed. It was completely black, with only a circle of white edge on the blade.
The murderous aura on the sword is so strong that even if ordinary people can't feel it clearly, they dare not get close to it.
For some reason, there was a heavy lock on the hilt of the sword, and half of the chain hung on the side, swaying with the man's footsteps, occasionally hitting the sword with a muffled sound.
God knows how heavy this sword is, but I only know that every time this man takes a step, the ground seems to shake slightly.
The sword was fierce, the man was fierce too, and the man's face was also ferocious. He had no hair on his head, and a black tattoo of unknown meaning was on his face. He had an eagle nose and wolf eyes, which made people want to stay away from him.
Not until the man walked away did the pedestrians on the roadside breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the direction he left with lingering fear, as if they were still a little scared.
This man came from the north.
He didn't go anywhere else. He walked all the way to Shu Huheng's house with his sword on his back and said he wanted to see Shu Huheng.
The servant guarding the gate did not dare to ask any more questions and went straight to inform Shu Huheng.
By the time the man was led to the hall, all the servants around had been sent away, and the servant who led the way also left on his own accord, leaving only him and Shu Huheng in the hall.
Shuhu sat horizontally on the main seat, dozing with his eyes closed.
The man sneered, did not sit down, but just folded his hands and looked at Shu Huheng , and said in a deep voice.
"You are really becoming more and more arrogant. I have to notify everyone inside and outside if I want to see you. It's really troublesome."
He paused again, grinned, looked fiercely at the sword on Shuhu's waist, and said.
"But I hope your swordsmanship hasn't fallen behind, and there's still a point in you being killed by me."
Shu Huheng remained silent for a while, then he opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Long time no see, Jiangba."
Jiangba is the name of the man in front of him. He is not from the Jin Dynasty, but from North Vietnam.
North Vietnam was a small country and a wild land to the north of the Jin Dynasty.
Shu Huheng had practiced there in his early years, and it was also at that time that he met Jiangba.
Jiangba is a sword fanatic, and he is also a man-killer. However, unlike ordinary man-killers, he does not kill ordinary people. He only kills those swordsmen with superb swordsmanship.
When Shu Huheng met him for the first time, the two fought for a day and a night until both sides realized that they had no way of defeating the other.
This time, at the same time when Shu Hunu went to Central Plains, Shu Huheng had already written a letter to Jiangba.
He told him that there was a martial arts competition in the Central Plains, and this competition would determine the best swordsman in the world.
So Jiangba came. His purpose was simple. He wanted to kill the so-called number one swordsman in the world.
Moreover, Shu Huheng also promised him in the letter that he would have another match with him after he returned.
For Jiangba, such an offer was impossible to refuse, because Shu Huheng had always been the person he wanted to kill.
"No need to reminisce about the past." In response to Shu Huheng's long time no see, Jiang Ba just waved his hand coldly: "We all know what I'm doing here."
"That's right." Shuhu sat horizontally in the hall, looked down at Jiangba and asked, "How have you considered it?"
"Of course I will go to the World Sword Alliance." Jiang Ba did not hide his murderous intent at all, and said with a bloodthirsty smile.
"But I hope the swordsman there is not too disappointing, otherwise, I will be back to kill you soon."
Shu Huheng looked at him silently, and after a while, he said softly: "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
"That's good." Jiangba's expression became more ferocious, and he turned around with his sword on his back.
"Then I will kill them first, and then I will kill you."
After saying that, he had no intention of staying any longer and left with heavy steps.
Shu Huheng stared at his back without saying another word.
In his expectation, Jiangba would most likely not come back alive. The Central Plains was not a place that was so easy to provoke. Jiangba was just another chess piece of his.
If the water is too still and the fish cannot be seen in the pond, someone has to throw stones to scare the fish away. This is the way people in the Central Plains fish.
If the stone thrown by Shu Hu Nu was too small, he would throw a big one.
Does Jiangba know this? Of course he knows.
Then why did he go to the Central Plains? Because he was a Jiangba.
