Chapter 491 Wuchang strange news

Wuchang City is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River and across the river from Hankou and Hanyang. It is an important southern town of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the city is high and the pool is deep, with sufficient troops, and is highly valued by the imperial court.

The wall of Wuchang City is 5,000 meters long from east to west and 3,000 meters wide from north to south. It has 14 kilometers of Zhouchang outside. The wall is square, with a wall of five zhang high and 4 zhang wide at the top. There are 6,000 warheads. The enemy platform is 98: four gates from east to west, south and north. There is a gate guarding city outside each gate. There is a city tower and an arrow tower. There is a moat outside the city city, which leads the water of the tributary of the Han River into the moat. The water flows rapidly, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is known as the most powerful city in the south.

After Yi Tusheng came to Wuchang City, he pretended to be a silk merchant and smuggled into the city, stayed in a very luxurious hotel. On the first day, he drank some wine in the hotel and went out to observe the terrain at night. When he came to Wuchang Pingtie General's mansion, he immediately felt that things were very difficult. No wonder the assassin who came for the first time failed. The Pingtie General's mansion was too big, three or four times larger than his prince's mansion, and the guards were no less stringent than the palace. In addition to the three squads of gun-carrying soldiers guarding at the door, every time incense, there were two hundred personal soldiers patrolling and guarding around the mansion gate, and it was not easy to enter. Moreover, Yi Tusheng heard a particularly bad news as soon as he entered the city.

Yi Tusheng casually stepped into a restaurant, and sat down on a place near the window on the second floor, ordered five straight side dishes, ordered a pot of flower-dial wine unique to the south, and drank it on his own. The sound of the restaurant was very hot, with princes, grandsons, wealthy businessmen and great merchants, and singing music everywhere. He was a guest beside him, four people with swords and swords, all of whom were tall and burly, sitting very arrogantly, and speaking loudly, and they were all over the world. They were so powerful that they were all over the world. They were playing with wine, and they were also making noises loudly. Only one person said:

"Did you hear it? Something big happened in Wuchang City recently?" This was the voice of a bearded man. His eyes were like a pair of copper bells, which was very scary.

A thin man said disdainfully: "What's so great about this? This news is known to everyone. I have known it for a long time. Not only do I know it, but I bet that everyone in this restaurant should have known it. If you don't believe it, you can shout out a louder voice and ask." The big bearded man sneered: "You know what I'm talking about, how do you know that everyone knows it, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue." The thin man said dissatisfiedly: "Are you talking about the assassination of Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu a few days ago? Who doesn't know about this?"

The bearded man laughed and said, "Your second, you are stupid, you are right. What I said is indeed a bit related to this matter, but it is definitely not the matter itself. What I am talking about is another strange thing hidden in this matter?" The thin man said disdainfully: "Your third, you are a mystery. Your words can only deceive those rural rural gangsters who can't deceive me at all. Why haven't I heard of any unknown strange things hidden here?"

The bearded man smiled and said, "You are judging a gentleman's belly by the heart of a villain. If you love bragging, you think others love bragging too. In fact, I have never liked to brag. Let me ask you something. Who should be the fastest person in today's swordsmanship?"

The thin man raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "You can't hide this from me. If you talk about swordsmanship in the world the fastest way in today's world, Hu Zhen, the "Wind Shadow Swordsman" who was rampant in the martial arts world thirty years ago. I'm right, haha."

The bearded man shook his head and said, "The sword technique of the Fengying Swordsman Hu Zhen, thirty years ago, is indeed the best in the martial arts world, but the 'Flying Snow Sword King' Wang Kuang 20 years ago and the 'Demon Sword Hand' Luo Yidiu 10 years ago are not ordinary people, but I am not talking about the three of them, but today's characters. I think this character's martial arts have surpassed these three people."

The Fatty and Skinny words attracted two other people at the same table, a white-bearded old man said: "I know who the person you are talking about is. Are you talking about Yi Tusheng, the Prince of Anping, who is known as the number one warrior of the Ming Dynasty? I heard that this person's sword technique is very unique, known as a chaotic sword. He dances in a messy and disorganized manner but has mystery in it. None of the people in the martial arts world can walk ten moves under his sword. It's really a weirdo in the martial arts world."

The fat man shook his head and said, "You said it wrong again, and you said it wrong again. Although Yi Tusheng can be regarded as a stolen person, he was easily assassined by an assassin a few days ago. Obviously, his swordsmanship is not enough. The previous deeds must be a work by others and cannot be counted. The person I mentioned is definitely not him, nor is it him." The old man said, "I really don't know this. I can't guess who the person you are talking about?" The fat man looked at the thin man again, and the thin man shook his head and said, "Third brother, don't look at me, I can't guess who the person you are talking about is. I guess you must be talking nonsense, actually there is no such person at all, right? Are you playing with us?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "You all misunderstood. I absolutely did not mean to play with you. The person I mentioned really exists. And he is in Wuchang City. He is Zuo Menggeng, the eldest son of Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Shaoxia. "When the fat man said this, the thin man shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Third brother, you have different words. I have not only seen Zuo Menggeng but also drank with him. He has never said that he could do martial arts, and he has never heard of him showing martial arts. It seems that he is just a young man from a noble family, nothing extraordinary." The old man also nodded and agreed to the thin man's words.

"Bang!" The fat man slapped the table and said, "That's why I said this is a huge secret. Otherwise, how could it stump you all? I'll tell you a story and you will know how powerful the young man's swordsmanship is?" The fat man said, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Everyone knows that an assassin entered Ning Nanbo's mansion a few days ago, right? Later, the assassin was killed and was carried out, right? But do you know how the assassin died?"

The three people present shook their heads at the same time and expressed their unawareness. The fat man said proudly: "He was stabbed to death by Zuo Menggeng's sword, and this sword actually assassinated six wounds, shaped like a blooming plum blossom. You think this sword is so fast." The thin man said: "Fifty years ago, a martial arts leader in the martial arts world called the "Plum Blossom Fairy". Every time he made a sword, he would bring six wounds. No one in the world was rumored to be faster than his sword technique. Is Mr. Zuo his disciple, but he doesn't look very similar based on his age. You can't count it. In my opinion, Zuo Menggeng's sword technique is no matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as Yi Tusheng."

The fat man laughed and said, "Yi Tusheng's swordsmanship is really not very good. If you don't believe me, look." As he said that, he slapped the table with a snap. A plate of shrimp balls on the table jumped up. As the sword light flashed, the shrimp balls fell on the table one by one, and they were all split in half. The fat man laughed and said, "Yi Tusheng doesn't even have this ability to do with me, do you believe it or not?"
