When the red sun is headed, it is almost noon, the sunny weather that is rare in early spring, the official road is a luxuriant scene all the way, an elegant carriage is driving on the official road, and the three horses in front of the carriage are galloping rapidly, dusty.

Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, the intersection of the three states, a little-known town, called Linqi Town, here is sparsely populated, only a few hundred residents in the town on weekdays, because it is located at the intersection of the three states, occasionally there will be business travelers passing through here.

Next to the official road, a small fork in the road enters, but a hundred meters, there is an open-air small teahouse, simple wooden piles to support a two-story thatched house, only an old man and a little girl run this small shop, it happens that every month there are always many passers-by here to rest, barely able to support the grandfather and grandson.

A carriage stopped in front of the store, looking at the appearance of this carriage, it must be the children of a rich and noble family, can afford this kind of carriage decorated with silver silk, it is definitely not an ordinary family, the carriage is the first to get down is a tall and mighty man, approached and took a closer look, the face is handsome, full of masculinity, but faintly reveals a bad spirit, making it difficult to approach. He glanced around and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, before he opened the curtain on the carriage, and three young men a few years younger jumped down, two men and one woman, who looked similar in appearance.

The leader is Nangong Shangqing, and the two men and one woman are the three brothers and sisters of the Fang family, Fang Weilan, Fang Lanfeng and Fang Qingsong, they have been traveling for two days in a row, and they are finally about to enter Yuzhou.

The old man of the store came to clean up the tables and chairs, holding a not very clean rag in his hand, wiping back and forth on the shabby and mottled tabletop, just after wiping the table, squatting down and quickly wiping the benches on the four sides of the square table, the old man just wanted to give these rich children a cleaner environment, not to dirty their clothes.

Nangong Shangqing and the three Fang brothers and sisters walked towards the table, and the old man immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "A few little brothers, what do you want to drink?

The little girl in the back had already come over with a plate of tea, put it on the table, handed it to the four of them one by one with a smile on her face, and smiled at the four of them when she turned to leave, she was a reserved little girl.

Nangong Shangqing took the lead and sat down and replied: "Old man, you don't have to be polite, you can serve whatever you have in the shop, let's just eat some casually!", the three Fang brothers and sisters also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, what to eat!"

The old man nodded and smiled: "Okay, a few little brothers wait for a while, the meal will be served in a while!", after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the thatched house, the old man is old, and he has to take charge of the spoon himself, this money to support the family is really not easy.

After Fang Lanfeng sat down, he began to talk more, holding a water cup while drinking water, and said, "You said that this time Yuwu Jiudian, will there be many hermit heirs?"

Fang Weilan thought for a while and replied: "There may be, because the battle between the people and demons in Kunlun Mountain has completely aroused the martial arts of all the people in the Kyushu Continent, and they are very likely to go out of the mountain and take this opportunity to test their skills." ”

Fang Qingsong shook his head and said with a smile: "The possibility of what you said is very high, but it is not ruled out that they will not participate in the Yuwu Nine Classics at all, after all, most of the hermits don't like to show their heads, this time the Yuwu Nine Classics must be very lively, I don't think they may like this environment, and they may resist participating." ”

Nangong Shangqing held a glass of water, drank water quietly, looked at the surrounding scenery from time to time, and did not participate in their topic at all, he didn't seem to want to answer this kind of question.

But Fang Lanfeng didn't want to let him go, she playfully turned her head to him and asked, "Brother Shang Qing, what do you think?"

Nangong Shangqing smiled and said, "I don't have much interest in this, I don't care if they participate or not, so I can't answer you!"

Fang Lanfeng pretended to be angry and snorted: "Brother Shangqing, you are too indifferent! This is related to Yuwu Jiudian, the most popular thing in the Kyushu Continent now!"

Fang Qingsong said with a smile on the side: "Lan Feng, Brother Shang Qing has always focused on his own cultivation, and he rarely understands these things outside, don't dwell on this issue!"

Fang Lanfeng smiled playfully: "Okay, I'll ask Brother Shang Qing, which is stronger or weaker than our Fang clan's swordsmanship?!"

Fang Weilan's face was embarrassed, and she interjected directly: "My good sister, you are really direct, how can you ask such a question, it's too rude!

Nangong Shangqing smiled, looked at Fang Lanfeng seriously and said with a smile: "You can be regarded as asking the right person!"

Fang Lanfeng immediately became interested, and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that, do you know it very well?!"

Nangong Shangqing said with a smile: "If you ask other people from the Nangong clan, they may all know a little roughly, but they definitely don't know as much as I know, because I have studied the swordsmanship of the two families at the same time since I was a child, and I have great admiration for both sets of swordsmanship!"

Fang Lanfeng was surprised when he heard this: "Why do you say that? For a long time, the top family in the Kyushu Continent has always been the first to recommend your Nangong Clan's True Martial Seven Sword, while our Fang Clan's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords can only be regarded as a second-rate sword technique. ”

Nangong Shangqing shook his head and said with a serious face: "Whether it is the Nangong Clan's True Martial Seven Swords or the Fang Clan's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords, they can be regarded as first-class swordsmanship on the Kyushu Continent, but they are definitely not top-notch swordsmanship. The gap between the two is not big, it is not as exaggerated as rumored, it's just that the Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate became famous relatively late. ”

At this moment, both Fang Lanfeng and Fang Weilan were surprised, after all, the Fang Clan's Divine Gate Thirteen Swords had always been known as a second-rate sword technique in the Kyushu Continent, and when they heard Nangong Shangqing say this, they actually felt incredible. And Fang Qingsong beside him seemed to have known for a long time, because Fang Qingsong had been serving in the Nangong family, and he still knew Nangong Shangqing very well.

The old man's hoarse voice came: "A few little brothers, watch out! Fresh and hot meals are coming!", he carried a wooden tray with five dishes stacked on top of it, and the little girl behind him also carried a wooden tray with four bowls of rice and two cold dishes.

The old man and the little girl hurriedly brought the food to the table, and said with a simple smile: "A few little brothers use it slowly, the old craftsmanship is average, you will taste the taste!", after speaking, he led the little girl to turn around and go back to the thatched house to clean up.

Nangong Shangqing saw that the food was coming, and then said: "Everyone should be hungry, let's eat first, and then talk after eating!"

Fang Lanfeng said unwillingly: "Brother Shang Qing, you go on, let's eat after we finish!"

Fang Weilan interrupted him and said, "My good sister, don't be coquettish, hurry up and eat first, we still have a long way to go, why rush for a while!"

Fang Lanfeng had no choice but to compromise, reluctantly picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to eat! Fang Qingsong snickered on the side. Nangong Shangqing completely ignored it and buried himself in eating.
