That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 16 Sword Competition at Lake Center Pavilion

   "What do you mean by that, my lord?" Chen Yue's tone became cold, and her complexion instantly turned ugly.

  He could naturally hear Gu Qingci's threat, but he really didn't take Gu Qingci seriously, the reason why he didn't do anything was because of Gu Qingci's identity.

  However, he was indeed a little annoyed. He, Chen Yue, was considered a respectable figure in Changling County. Even people from both clans and gangs would treat him with courtesy. Whenever it was the turn of a puppet county magistrate, he would dare to speak nonsense to him.

   "呲"

  Gu Qingci drew out his long sword, pointed at Chen Yue and said, "Literally, it's not your turn to refuse the county's words!"

   "Arrogance," Chen Yue slapped the table, pulled out a sword, and said, "Then today I really want to see how you have the courage to talk to me like this, call out all your people!"

  Gu Qingci smiled slightly, and said: "Master Chen misunderstood, this county came alone, and did not bring anyone with him."

   Chen Yue was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't doubt Gu Qingci's words. After all, there was no need to lie at this time. He was surprised that Gu Qingci came to persecute him alone!

   "Then please!"

  Chen Yue did not underestimate the enemy because of Gu Qingci's reputation.

"Please!"

  Gu Qingci was in high spirits, because this was the first time he had fought in an upright manner since he possessed martial arts. The last time he faced Pang Shilong, he mainly relied on a sneak attack. Today, when he met Chen Yue, he was also looking forward to his performance.

  Two long swords flew across the Wangjiang Pavilion and collided with each other, making low and sharp whistles, like some kind of weird musical instrument.

   After this blow, Gu Qingci and Chen Yue quickly took a step back. This sword was just a test of each other. Gu Qingci did not respond, and the balance of power was within his expectation.

But Chen Yue was shocked in her heart. He really didn't expect Gu Qingci to be so powerful, and said in a deep voice: "It's me, Chen Yue, who was wrong, no, to be precise, the whole Changling County was wrong, my lord He is actually a hidden master, come to think of it, adults are involved in this incident between the Flying Eagle Gang and the Cheng family!"

  Gu Qingci smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Chen has guessed something, he should also think that this county is imperative this time."

   "Then beat me!"

  Chen Yue stepped on the foot, and the long sword quickly stabbed Gu Qingci. This sword did not have gorgeous moves, only ordinary stabs, but the speed was extremely fast.

  However, this is exactly what Gu Qingci wanted. His swordsmanship is also famous for its speed!

  The same sword stabbed back like lightning.

   The two fought together in an instant!

  Gu Qingci and Chen Yue kept taking turns in Wangjiang Pavilion, and the two sword lights intertwined, weaving all the space between the snow-covered bluestone slabs.

  The more Chen Yue fought, the more frightened he became. He has practiced martial arts for decades, and he is probably older than Gu Qingci. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingci's swordsmanship is not inferior to his, and sometimes he can even be two points faster.

Similarly, Gu Qingci became more and more anxious as he fought more and more. Although both of them were second-rate fighters, Gu Qingci was only a first-rate fighter, while Chen Yue was already at the peak of second-rate fighters, with much deeper internal strength than him. It won't be long.

   Flicking his sword, Gu Qingci stepped on his feet, flew out of the Wangjiang Pavilion, and shouted: "Go to the river to fight, so as not to destroy such a good pavilion."

Chen Yue has no doubts about him, because he knows the situation on the river better than anyone else. It has snowed for several days, and a thick layer of ice has accumulated on the river. Collapsing ice layer.

Gu Qingci landed on the ice, looked at Chen Yue who was chasing after him, and smiled coldly. The Wangjiang Pavilion was too small for him to use lightness kung fu. He was still very confident in his own lightness kung fu. Wudang Tiyun Longitudinal, this is not a joke.

  As soon as Chen Yue landed on the ground, Gu Qingci stepped out, like a light and shadow, and a sword fell from the sky. Chen Yue didn't expect Gu Qingci to be so fast, so she hurriedly avoided, swung her sword horizontally, and slashed at Gu Qingci.

  The blades of the sword, which appeared and disappeared in the heavy snow, flew smoothly and elegantly, sometimes brushing the floor and passing by, splashing a cloud of rain, and sometimes cutting deep sword marks on the ice.

   Soon Gu Qingci and Chen Yue were both on the body, but Gu Qingci was a little less, with two scratches on his chest, and Chen Yue was also hit by two swords on his arm besides his chest.

   Right at this moment, a series of subtle and crisp sounds sounded again from the imperial palace in the snow. These sounds were very fast, like a luthier playing crazily.

   "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

The white sword shadow rolled silently from the snow at some point, flying like wild bees at high speed in the heavy snow, weaving into an impenetrable net, Gu Qingci and Chen Yue were facing each other with sword and sword For chopping, Gu Qingci relied on lightness skills, while Chen Yue relied on profound skills.

  In fact, the swordsmanship of the two is similar, half a catty is equal to eight taels, and they have their own strengths. The battle can be said to be evenly matched.

But Gu Qingci knew that his internal strength was far inferior to that of Chen Yue. If he continued like this, he would be defeated in a short time. At this moment, Gu Qingci suddenly moved his eyes and slashed at Chen Yue with a sword. .

  Chen Yue dodged sideways, Gu Qingci missed with a sword, and slashed on the ice, and then after several swords, Gu Qingci missed frequently, as if his internal strength was overdrawn, and he had lost his level.

  Chen Yue frowned secretly, always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't remember it, Gu Qingci suddenly smiled evilly, and said: "Mr. Chen, how about a winter bath?"

  Chen Yue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

  Gu Qingci didn't speak, and stabbed fiercely at the foot with his sword, and then lifted up the ladder Yunzong, soared into the sky, smashed Huashan with one move, and slashed at Chen Yue from top to bottom.

   Gu Qingci's lightness kung fu was so fast, Chen Yue had no time to dodge and could only use his long sword to block it.

   As soon as the two swords touched, Chen Yue's feet suddenly shook, and the ice layer he stepped on broke. He hurriedly wanted to jump away, but found that Gu Qingci was on the ice, and attacked him again.

The ice under his feet was torn apart, and Chen Yue had to deal with Gu Qingci all the time, so he felt overwhelmed and tired of dealing with it. He didn't have Gu Qingci's lightness skills, and he could use his strength on a small piece of ice. Almost fell into the river.

  Seeing that Gu Qingci was about to stab again with a sword, Chen Yue hurriedly shouted: "Master Gu, I give up, I give up, stop playing, I don't know how to swim, if I go down, I won't be able to get up!"

  Hearing that Chen Yue had conceded, Gu Qingci slowly put away the long sword, stepped out, carried Chen Yue, and flew back to the Wangjiang Pavilion with a light touch.

  Gu Qingci picked up a cup of tea, drank it down, and said: "Since Mr. Chen has conceded defeat, what he said before must be counted!"

"Of course!" Chen Yue said, "However, Mr. Gu, I'm ugly and I don't care what plans you have, but I only promise to help you gather people, but I will never join in. Moreover, they will I won't come, and I can't guarantee it!"

Gu Qingci waved his hand and said: "The Flying Eagle Gang uses those small gang members as cannon fodder. They only need to fight once or twice, and they will understand. At that time, they will definitely be dissatisfied. You, Mr. Chen, are here When the time comes to call them, they will only be happy, and they will definitely not stop coming, after all, no one wants to die!"

   "Oh," Chen Yue suddenly realized, and said, "Master Gu wants to use my reputation to gather these small gangs and wipe them out!"

   "It's not about killing them all," Gu Qingci said: "It's about giving them a way to survive, so that they can survive in this vortex. Otherwise, being cannon fodder for the Flying Eagle Gang will only lead to death."

Chen Yue was silent for a while, and then said: "According to what your lord said, it is true. These small gangs are fighting on their own, and they can only be cannon fodder when facing the Cheng family and the Flying Eagle Gang. Absolutely not to be underestimated, even the gangs of the two clans have to weigh it in."

   Gu Qingci nodded and said: "That's what I mean. As far as I know, many of these small gangs have a good relationship with you, Mr. Chen. If you want, you can also help the county to do ideological work for them!"

   "Let's see when the time comes," Chen Yue shook her head, and said, "I don't know when my lord wants me to do it!"

  Gu Qingci propped up the oil-paper umbrella, and slowly walked out of the Wangjiang Pavilion with a sword in hand. A gust of wind and snow blew in front of him. Gu Qingci said calmly: "Just wait for the notice from the county!"
