Chapter 44 Past Events

Xu Buling held the knife in one hand, clamped the tip of the sword with both fingers in his left hand, and looked at the swordsman in front of him.

He learned this sword to "shake the mountain" because Old Situ said that there are people in the world who can break the chain of swords.

This sword was originally a killer move for Eunuch Jia, Li Hansheng, and Zuo Qingqiu to kill Pu Di, but there was no need to use this trick.

But they are all swordsmen, especially outstanding swordsmen, who pay attention to being "clean and neat".

If you meet a worthy opponent, if you don’t show your knowledge quickly, you will neither respect your opponent nor your martial arts.

After all, there are too few opponents who can make Xu Buling do his best. Da Yue is almost dead. Whether there will be any future is unknown, killing one less.

Xu Buling took back the long knife from Pu Di's head, held it in his hand, his eyes were dull:

"It's a pity to be good at it, it's a pity."

Pu Di was bleeding in his chest, but it seemed that he didn't feel anything. He took the sword back into the scabbard and looked at Xu Buling's sword:

"Good sword technique, is this a mountain shake?"

Xu Buling nodded: "Are you Park Di? Nanyue can use swords so well, it seems that Nanyue Jiankui was twenty years ago. I heard of it in Mr. Storytelling, and I thought you would have died long ago. At that time, he was a younger generation of geniuses, so how could he be like this?"

Park Di carried the sword and looked at the knife wound on his chest. He was sure to die. He was silent for a moment and sighed softly:

"Drink?"

Xu Buling took the Zuizhu Knife back the scabbard behind him and turned to the Guifei Street.

Park Di took off the mask on his face, wiped the rain from his face, and tied up his scattered gray hair.

Guifei Street is not far from the city wall, and the two walked through the alley silently until they arrived at the back door of the old tavern.

Park Di untied his straw raincoat and hung it beside the wall, opened the back door, and the two entered it, leaving behind a string of blood.

The candlelight lit up, and the old tavern, which had not changed for twenty years, was a little brighter. The door was closed, and you could still hear the noise of the mansion opposite.

Xu Buling sat down at the wine table, untied his face towel, and wiped away the rain from his face.

Park Di regained his appearance as a waiter for twenty years, and no longer had any momentum. After warming up a pot of wine on the stove, he took it to the opposite side of the table and sat down. He poured himself a bowl, and then poured Xu Buling one bowl, picked it up and drank it all.

Xu Buling didn't say anything, and after drinking a sip of wine, he looked at Park Di calmly.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Park Di's face became a little bloody. After looking at the candlelight for a long time, he said softly:

"More than 20 years ago, I was in the Nanyue River and Lake and was very famous. Once I passed by Lingshan County and met a little girl, the lady from the Lingshan County Magistrate's Family, who was very beautiful."

Xu Buling naturally understood who the girl was, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "What about?"

Park Di shook her head: "Fall in love at first sight, and often meet in Lingshan secretly. From the age of fifteen to seventeen, she decided to go out to wander around the world together in the autumn of the year when she was seventeen. As a result, she lost the appointment. I waited on Lingshan for a long time, but couldn't hold it back, so I ran to her house to find him. As a result, she was ready to get married and only gave me a letter."

Park Di picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, his eyes turning a little red.

Xu Buling listened quietly and said softly: "What is the letter saying?"

"The letter only said that I would enter the palace, and I stopped contacting each other. I wished me to be successful in the world. I was young and proud at that time, so I didn't go to see her, so I ran to the Central Plains.

After leaving, I actually regretted it, but I couldn't bear to go back, so I focused on practicing swords and not thinking about it. I walked ten thousand miles and practiced a million swords. I was practicing walking, eating, and even practicing dreams. I didn't even want my life for the sake of the sword. After three years, I learned to win the swords of Lu Cao's three families, and it was the limelight.

Waiting for success, I found that I still couldn't forget her. I felt that things happened back then were too hasty, so I had to listen to her in person, so I returned to Nanyue."

Xu Buling sighed: "What about?"

Park Di's eyes were full of sorrow: "Then, I came to the capital and found out that she often came to this tavern. I was waiting for the rabbit. That day, she sat on this table. I exposed her face at the window, and she came to the alley behind alone.

When we met again, things had changed. I asked her about the letter, and she said that her father forced her to get married and locked her up. Her father was from Baizeng Valley, and was afraid that her father would make things difficult for me, so he could only write a letter to lie to her father. She was not such a heartless person, thinking that I could understand her situation and would sneak out to find her. Unexpectedly, I would go there forever.

At that time, I was talking to her very calmly, and seemed to have been watching her.

I felt guilty in my heart. I had no face to face her, and left alone without saying anything.

But unexpectedly, after she returned to the palace, she soon died of depression. A few days before her death, she would come to the small restaurant to wait every day.

Later I realized that she was in the palace for many years and had been waiting for me to pick her up. When I came back, I did nothing. She had no hope and naturally couldn't survive..."

Park Di's voice became smaller and smaller, and before he knew it, he was already crying like rain.

Xu Buling was silent for a moment, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip:

"Then you blame me for this. I really can't tell you what the girl is."

Park Di fell silent, without answering, turned his head and looked at the closed window. Opposite the window was Chen Ju's mansion:

"Now, she lives in the world with only one son, and the only person who has something to do with her is this son. I can die, but her son cannot. What exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Buling thought for a while: "Someone wants to attack me. If you want to find out, you have to find a few people, and they were caught by Baishou Valley."

Park Di shook his head: "Chen Ju is polite and can't take charge of things by himself. No matter how big or small the government is, Zhou Qin, the Duke of Anguo, is arranged behind his back. Whether he agrees or not, he cannot refuse. He knows the existence of Baizang Valley, but he never asks. Even if you attack him, you can't ask anything."

Xu Buling put down the wine bowl: "If this is true, I will save his life."

Park Qiu poured another bowl of wine, drank it all, looked at the candlelight on the table, and stopped talking.

Xu Buling looked at the window, a little dazed, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Tick

Tick

The knife wound on Pu Di's chest was deep and it was difficult to heal. He kept bleeding. The blood flowed from his clothes to the stool, and then slid to the ground until it penetrated into the gaps on the floor.

No matter how high your martial arts are, your blood will always run dry.

I don’t know how long it took, a slight sound of ‘dong’ came from the quiet old tavern.

Park Di seemed to be drunk and fell on the wine table, holding two strands of hair tied together with red ropes in his hand.

Xu Buling sighed softly, stood up, raised his hand and touched Park Di's neck. After confirming that he was dead, he turned around and walked out of the old tavern.

The wind and rain outside the door were still there, and wine banners and lanterns on the street were shaking under the eaves.

The old tavern seems to have nothing changed, but after missing individuals, it is no longer the old tavern before.
