The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 12 Tour Guide
Wang Hai took the initiative to step forward and greet him, and Zhao Dehua stood up and responded enthusiastically.

On one side is the old Jinyiwei, who is well-informed and used to welcoming and seeing off people with Li Miao. On the other side is the head of the Jianghu escort, who is worldly-wise and deliberately wants to find out the details of Li Miao and the other two.

The two chatted enthusiastically. Zhao Dehua invited Li Miao to come over for dinner, and Li Miao agreed.

After the meal, both sides had a general understanding of each other.

Li Miao was a member of the Imperial Guard, so of course he couldn't tell the truth. Wang Hai said that the three of them were sworn brothers and sisters, and that they were going to Mount Tai to visit relatives.

Zhao Dehua didn't hear any flaws and felt relieved.

The meal ended when it was dark outside, and the two groups went back to their rooms to rest.

The rooms of Li Miao and the other two were next to each other. When they walked to the door, Wang Hai was about to push the door open to go in and rest, but was stopped by Li Miao.

"Xiao Hai, go and sleep with Xiao Si tonight." Li Miao suddenly said.

"Ah!? Qian. Qian Hu, I I..." Wang Hai's face turned red all the way to his ears when he heard this. Even though he was a Jinyiwei, he was still a novice who had never experienced the world, and he had some secret feelings for Xiao Si.

Hearing Li Miao's sudden words, he was stunned and stammered, unable to speak.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Miao laughed. "I picked up Xiao Si and raised her when she was four or five years old. You want to do something without paying a betrothal gift?"

"I asked you to protect her. I have to go out to do something tonight and can't take care of this."

Wang Hai calmed down immediately.

After all, he had been a Jinyiwei for many years and had been with Li Miao for many years. When he heard that it was a serious matter, he got into the state.

"Yes." He agreed and went into Xiao Si's room.

Li Miao returned to the room, drank a sip of tea slowly, and then lay on the bed for a while.

Outside, the night watchman sounded three gongs, indicating that it was the third watch. He then got up, opened the window, and disappeared in a flash.

--------

The autumn wind is bleak and the moonlight is obscured by clouds.

Not far from the inn where Li Miao and others were resting, a man was squatting on a house.

It was the masked woman who attacked Zhao Dehua last night.

At this time, she was dressed in night clothes and her face was still covered.

She had not left since she left last night, and had been secretly following behind Zhao Dehua and his group. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she thought Zhao Dehua should have rested, so she was ready to get up and take revenge.

Just as her toes left the ground and jumped up.

Suddenly I heard someone talking behind me.

"You can't beat him like this."

"!!!"

The masked woman's pupils suddenly shrank.

Who was talking? She had been concentrating and on guard, how could someone touch her without her noticing?

At this moment, her feet were off the ground and she couldn't change direction. It was the most dangerous moment!
The masked woman was in a hurry and no longer had any concerns. She reached out and pulled out a dagger from the package behind her.

He exerted force on his waist, twisted half a circle in the air, and stabbed the sword straight behind him!
Ding!
The masked woman couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.

Because the dagger that was thrust out was now caught between two fingers of a person, not moving at all.

At this moment, the masked woman landed on the ground with both feet, and immediately used the force to thrust forward, using all her life's strength to force the sword through between the two fingers and stab the person who was speaking.

However, no matter how hard she tried, the dagger was like being inserted into a boulder, not moving at all.

"now it's right."

the man said.

"I felt awkward watching you fight last night. Your hand skills were fine, but your footwork seemed like you were just learning it. It didn't look like a close combat method." "It's much better when you take out your sword. This is the martial arts you practiced."

"Huashan swordsmanship, the orthodox one. Are you a Huashan disciple? Why are you hiding your identity and coming to fight a escort leader?"

When the masked woman's master's inheritance was revealed, her eyes turned cold and she let go of the dagger.

She took a few steps back, pulled out a long sword from the package, and looked coldly at the person who spoke.

The vendetta against Zhao Dehua was personal, and she didn't want to involve her master, so she never used swordsmanship to fight the enemy. Even when she was startled, she used her short sword to fight the enemy, and didn't immediately draw out her most familiar long sword.

Since the master's inheritance has been discovered by others, there is no need to pretend anymore, so the natural thing is to use the most convenient long sword.

The masked woman saw the person who was speaking and asked in surprise: "It's you? Who are you?"

"Now I'm asking you." The man spoke calmly. It was Li Miao.

The masked woman snorted coldly and said, "After I stab you a few times, I will ask you a question."

"Don't think you can defeat me just because you saw me fighting that old dog for a few moves without using a sword."

"You can hold my short sword, but you may not be able to hold my long sword!"

After saying that, she held the sword in front of her body and prepared to take action.

All of a sudden.

All I heard was a "whoosh!"

hum-

The sword in her hand suddenly broke into two pieces!
The broken sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The masked woman screamed in pain, holding her right hand with her left hand, blood oozing out from between her fingers.

At that moment, she only felt a huge shock coming from the sword, which directly cracked her palm.

At this time, Li Miao's voice came: "Palm technique, finger technique, short sword, long sword."

"It makes no difference to me what martial arts you use or what weapons you use."

The masked woman looked up and saw Li Miao holding the dagger that he had taken from her in his right hand. The tip of the dagger was missing a piece, and his left hand had just fallen in front of him.

She couldn't help but be shocked: "You used the tip of the sword!?"

Li Miao actually broke her dagger at that moment, then swung the tip of the sword over and broke her long sword!
What kind of martial arts is this! ?

Huashan is a famous sect with great wealth and power. She is a direct disciple of Huashan, so the sword she uses is naturally not an ordinary one.

If it is a fight with a master, it is understandable that the weapons would break during the clash.

But who can use hidden weapons to break a sword made of iron?

The sword is not a knife, and Huashan swordsmanship does not use a heavy sword, but a flexible light sword. It can be bent and is resilient! As a result, it was broken into two pieces in one go.

Not to mention that the man used the tip of a dagger. Not to mention the fact that he could break it with bare hands, the tip of the sword was light and thin. It would be fine if it cut someone, but how could it be thrown out by this man like a battering ram? ?

She used her internal energy to protect her body, but her right hand was only shaken by the aftermath of the sword, and was covered in blood.

Is that human being?
Run away! Run away! This man's martial arts are unheard of, she is definitely no match for him!

The masked woman stood up and was about to flee when she heard another “whoosh” sound.

A strand of hair fell in front of her face and the veil covering her face fell off.

Li Miao said slowly: "Except for the tip of your short sword, I can still break it seven or eight more times."

"What makes you think you can walk?"

"Honestly, I have something to ask you."
