Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 7: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

There was a little light on the horizon, it was still early in the morning, and there were three or two shouts not far away, followed by shouts like a honeycomb, shouts came and went, and everywhere was full of noise and noise.

When I got closer, it turned out to be a crowd of businessmen on both sides of the avenue.

Along the bluestone slab avenue that is six or seven meters wide underground, looking into the distance, I vaguely saw a towering mansion, the plaque on it hooked the gold edge, and the plaque was written with gold lacquer 'City Lord's Mansion' three big characters, which was very majestic.

There were six or seven stern-looking guards standing at the door, and the gates were heavily guarded.

When I looked back, I saw that there were many three- or four-storey businesses on both sides of the avenue, or restaurants or restaurants, clothing stores or jewelry stores, which were dazzling and dazzling.

After a while, there were more people on the street, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, or arguing or bargaining, or meeting old friends or arguing inexplicably, it was too noisy.

From time to time, from a distance came a team of eleven or two, the team was neatly arranged, the pace was the same, the clothes were uniform, all of them wore red trousers at the bottom of the yellow armor, and on the armor on their chests, there was a word 'Cheng' engraved, holding an iron gun in their hands, and the pedestrians who passed by avoided the road one after another, which looked very majestic.

This is the main city of Dongque, and there is no doubt that Weiming City is there.

After passing a few shops, I came to a four-storey restaurant, only to see its purple and red paint shining brightly in the sunlight.

The gilded signboard is shining in that red light, and the plaque reads "Moon Tower".

Walking in, at this time, there are many people of all kinds sitting on the first floor, and the running hall with wine and various dishes is full of words, interspersed in between.

"Eh, have you heard? I heard that the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion in the Dawn Realm had been opened yesterday, and at this time, everyone from all walks of life had already set off. ”

I only heard two guests dressed as chivalrous sitting on the southeast corner, chatting.

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and I've heard that this time has alarmed many big families, and there have been a lot of outsiders in Weiming City in the past few days, and even the big people on the other side of Nanqiu have been alarmed. ”

After speaking, the man with dry skin on the side, who was about thirty or forty years old, took a sip of wine, looked proud, and continued: "I heard that before dawn, more than a dozen horsemen rushed out of the imperial city and went straight to the direction of the dawn realm. ”

Hearing this, the slightly young knight sitting on the side was a little surprised, and said with a sigh on his face: "I never thought that even the people in the imperial city were alarmed, I'm afraid that there will be a bloody storm!" After speaking, the two sighed slightly, and continued to drink and eat, talking and laughing.

As soon as the picture turned, out of Weiming City, went north, came to a high slope, looked down, only to see a large city, there are countless houses in the city, and they are arranged in a staggered manner, although it is not as luxurious as Weiming City, but it also has a unique flavor.

Entering the city, it is still a stone road, but it is a little stingy, the street is full of people, and the shops on both sides are also dazzling, but most of them are utensils and ornaments.

There is a banner standing in front of each shop, on which many surnames are written, I am afraid that the industry opened by the family in the city here, the word 'Shangguan' appears the most.

When I walked to the front of a mansion, there were two courtyards standing on the left and right at the door, both listlessly staring ahead, and the plaque said Shangguan Mansion.

Walking in, through a courtyard, looking in through the courtyard, a lobby appeared in the field of vision, at this time sitting condescendingly in the hall is a middle-aged man in his forties, red hair and red eyebrows, his eyes are like copper bells, not angry and a little scary.

At the foot of the hall stood a young man dressed as a subordinate.

The man said slowly: "Family Master, there is news from Fang Caitian Soul Jade that the Imperial City has sent people to the Dawn Realm, and the person who takes the lead is Nangong Yu. ”

After speaking, the red-haired man sitting in the lobby raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled, glanced at the people in the hall, slowly got up, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Nangong Yu?

After finishing speaking, he stared at the people in the hall and thought for a long time, and then continued: "Since this is the case, let them explore the way first, they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the good show is still to come, you send someone to monitor it closely, and if there is any other disturbance, report it immediately." When the people in the hall heard this, they hurried Vino.

"By the way, what's going on with the Luo family?" the red-haired man asked.

The man in the hall said calmly: "There has been no movement so far, I'm afraid I'm waiting for the opportunity." ”

The red-haired man was a little annoyed after hearing this, and said, "What do you know, wait for the opportunity? I'm afraid that the time is running out." The people in the hall were a little panicked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but become more respectful.

"A few days ago, Heng'er sent a message that it was the 'Yunhuang Academy' that sent a mission, so that all the disciples went to the Dawn Realm to find the five-tailed fire fox, at this time they have already entered the periphery, you send an order to the past, warn him, do not set foot in the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion, and then go on the road together after meeting with us. The red-haired man finished and walked alone towards the back room.

At noon, the perimeter of dawn

Suddenly, from a distance, there was a sound of soldiers, mixed with screams.

When I looked closer, I saw more than a dozen people in blue shirts holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, with a fierce look on their faces and the rampant of some villains, surrounding the three of them in the middle.

Looking around, there were several corpses around him, and if he looked closely, he saw Sun Li who was on the road with Xuan Hao some time ago.

At this time, the three people who were surrounded were Cheng Xiong, Cheng Wei, and Kong Xiu, and I saw the three of them back to back, covered in blood, each with some minor injuries, and looked around vigilantly.

Cheng Wei looked angry, blew his beard and glared, looked at everyone, and scolded in his mouth: "His grandmother, it's really fucking aggrieved, I didn't expect this crazy wolf to send so many people to take my brother's life." ”

Cheng Xiong on the side held a spear, his face was a little pale, and he sighed: "It's really difficult to ride a tiger now, and he was found by this Duda, could it be that he knew about the events of the past few days?"

While he was talking, a person rode a horse and walked slowly, with disdain in his eyes, pointing at Cheng Xiong and the others: "Stained stains, you really make me easy to find, I advise you to give up resistance and kneel down and beg me, maybe I am soft-hearted and leave you a whole corpse." After speaking, he laughed, and his laughter was full of arrogance.

Cheng Wei's eyes widened angrily, glared at the thin monkey on the horse, and shouted: "I, you stinky and shameless Duda, and I still want your grandfather and me to kneel for you, even if you fight to the death today, you will not beg for mercy from you, a villain with a weird yin and yang spirit." After saying that, he put on a posture of letting the horse come.

Cheng Xiong, who was on the side, faintly glanced at the open space in the distance, and whispered: "Kong Xiu, we will rush to kill in a while, and find an opportunity for you to escort Brother Xuan to go first." ”

Hearing this, Kong Xiu's eyes were resolute, and he hurriedly said: "No! ”

Cheng Wei on the side heard this, but his face was displeased, and he hurriedly reprimanded: "When is it, the eldest brother still cares about that kid, it's all because of him, and you lack the strength to do it, and now I'm afraid that you won't be able to break out of this battle at all." ”

At this time, the thin monkey who was called Duda glanced at Xuan Hao, who was unconscious on the side, as if nothing happened, and immediately understood, secretly pondered for a long time, and quipped: "I said why Cheng Xiong's strength has dropped so much today, it turned out that he was helping that kid Tongyuan, I really don't know whether to live or die, what does that kid have to do with you, and you need to help him like this?"

Cheng Xiong's face was a little surprised, he never thought that this Duda should be really intelligent, and he could think of the cause and effect so quickly, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Pingshui meets, you have a fate with me, you have the heart to make this friend, nothing else, today's matter is just a personal grudge between you and me, don't involve others." ”

After hearing this, Duda revealed his disdain, and said: "Hmph, I don't care to take one, I just made a fuss by the people of Tongyuan, and today I will execute you in a dignified manner." ”

As he spoke, he jumped forward, took out a thin sword from his waist, and rushed towards Cheng Xiong.

For a while, everyone scuffled together, only to see that in the field at this time, Duda and Cheng Xiong's whole body was covered with a trace of red mist, you punch me and kick me, you sword and I shoot back and forth.

In the distance, Cheng Xiong waved a giant hammer weighing more than 100 catties in his hand, and his whole body was also covered with red mist, smashing left and right, scaring everyone so much that they didn't dare to get close for a while, but Kong Xiu and the two were entangled together, and they were a little physically exhausted.

After a quarter of an hour, I saw Duda's figure extremely fast, a move of the immortal to guide the way, just stabbed Cheng Xiong in the back, Cheng Xiong immediately reacted, too late to turn around, the tail of the gun swung, swept backwards, Duda was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, and before he could stand firm, he stomped his foot violently and stabbed towards Cheng Xiong.

"Brush Brush Brush"

There was a faint sword shadow, Cheng Xiong only felt a little dizzy, he didn't dare to be careless, put on a defensive posture, held the spear in his hand and spun around quickly, and the dust was full for a while.

Seeing this, Duda secretly praised Cheng Xiong's sophistication, laughed sinisterly, and fled to the side, waiting for the dust and mist to dissipate, and attacked from behind.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiong hurriedly turned around and fought with a spear, but Duda did not launch a fierce attack, relying on his physical advantage, he dodged left and right, and when Cheng Xiong determined the direction, he raised his gun and stabbed it, but it was a stabbing in the air, and he was shocked, and hurriedly turned back, turning around and facing a handful of dust.

It turned out that Duda had been waiting here for a long time, and when Cheng Xiong turned around, he used his sword to stir up a cloud of dust.

The dust and mist covered his eyes, and he couldn't see the surroundings clearly for a while, so he could only wield his spear wantonly, Duda dodged left and right, and a few sneers came from time to time.

Cheng Wei, who was fighting bloodily on the side, got a little respite, looked at Cheng Xiong, was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Big brother be careful." ”

It was too late to say it, and before the voice reached Cheng Xiong's ears, he could only hear Cheng Xiong's scream, and his left eye was slashed by Duda's thin sword, slowly bleeding, and while Cheng Xiong was injured, Duda's long sword pointed at Cheng Xiong's neck.

Seeing this, Cheng Wei Kong Xiu hurriedly swept in the direction of Cheng Xiong, and "big brother" Cheng Wei exclaimed.

"Don't move, otherwise as long as my hand trembles slightly, Cheng Xiong's soul will immediately return to the Nine Heavens. "Duda's face is a villain, and he is extremely arrogant.

Cheng Wei and the others finally gave up resistance and were held by everyone with swords.

When the war ended, Duda glanced around and said viciously: "Let me ask you, did my third brother die at your hands?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiongqiang endured the severe pain, and said with a look of resentment: "If you want to kill, you will kill, so much nonsense, I will be defeated by you today, I will admit it, give me a good time." ”

Du Dayang laughed wildly and said: "I want to die, it's not so easy, I want to torture you well, and let you pay for my third brother's life." Maybe it can give you a taste of what life is better than death. After speaking, he glanced at the person standing beside Cheng Wei with an iron whip in his hand.

The man immediately understood, and waved the iron whip viciously downward, "snapping" for a while, whipping Cheng Wei's back, without shouting, Cheng Wei gritted his teeth and held on.

Immediately followed by another whip, dozens of whips, at this time, Cheng Wei's back was blurred with flesh and blood, and beads of sweat on his forehead fell, but he didn't say a word.

"Hmph, what a hard bone, it seems that I won't give you some real skills, I don't know how good I am. Duda said as he motioned to the big man with the knife on the side.

"Chop off one of his arms, I want to see how hard his bones are. Duda said in a strange manner, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Cheng Xiong was in a commotion on the side, and Du Da smiled: "What's the hurry? It's not your turn yet, I heard that the taste of human flesh has a different flavor, do you want to try it?" said another contemptuous laugh.

The big man standing beside Cheng Wei raised his big knife, aimed at the position, and slashed it down, but before it was close, a shout came from a distance.

"Mi Fei" saw Xuan Hao shouting, sitting up straight from the ground, with a confused face, a gust of wind rose, blowing in his face, mixed with a stream of blood, Xuan Hao heard it, put his head over, just to see the tragic situation of Cheng Xiong and others.

Seeing this, Xuan Hao endured the severe pain, hurriedly got up from the ground, ran towards the crowd, and walked to Duda's side, scolding: "Who are you?" ”

Facing Kong Xiu's eyes, Kong Xiu shook his head slightly, signaling Xuan Hao not to be reckless.

Xuanhao immediately understood, thinking in his heart, "I'm afraid that I have met a mortal enemy, I have long heard Kong Xiu mention that there is an enemy in Yixuantang, I am afraid that I will be found by the enemy now, how can this be good, it is not enough to protect myself by myself, how can I save people." He was calculating in his heart, but his face was pretending to be calm.

Seeing this, Duda was a little suspicious in his heart, and said tentatively: "Who are you and why are you with them?"

Xuan Hao frowned slightly, and said confidently: "I asked you this first, and you haven't told me who you are?"

Duda was a little surprised by this question, thinking in his heart, this kid in front of him is not a fool, can't he understand the situation in front of him, and dare to use strong words.

was about to open his mouth to scold, but after thinking about it, could it be that this kid has another identity and background, and he is not afraid of us, if it weren't for this, Cheng Xiong would not have worked hard to pass the yuan for him.

This is the so-called truth that being smart is mistaken by being smart.

Seeing that Du Da was silent for a long time, Xuan Hao had some calculations in his heart, and said in his heart: "Tell me, which side of the force are you from, why did you kill my friend for no reason." ”

Cheng Xiong and the others were all uneasy, and it was really difficult to figure out what Luo Tian was doing at this time.

As he was speaking, Cheng Wei on the side raised his head weakly, looked at Xuan Hao and said, "Brother Xuan, go quickly, leave us alone." ”

When Xuan Hao heard this, he was shocked, I really don't know if this black fat man is really stupid or fake, he came to this sentence for no reason, didn't he break his plan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so he rolled his eyes.

When Duda heard about it, he thought about it for no reason, neither Dongque nor Nanqiu had heard of a force surnamed Xuan, could it be that this kid pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and deceived me and so on.

Duda smiled: "Little brother advises you not to meddle, this is a personal grudge between us, if you insist on interfering, don't blame me for being ruthless." There was fierceness in his eyes, and it was clearly a naked threat.

When Xuan Hao heard this, he really wanted to strangle the black fat man in front of him, a good puddle of water, but he was muddyed by his words.

In anger, his eyes crashed into Kong Xiu, only to see his lips slightly open, as if he was saying something, looking at the shape of his mouth, Xuan Hao silently thought in his heart, "False pop?

I don't have time to think about it, but since he said it, this thing will definitely help me, so I might as well try it.

Xuan Hao's face was indifferent, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a look of disdain: "Are you threatening me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and they were suspicious in their hearts, Xuan Hao saw this, pretended to squat down to check Cheng Xiong's injury, took out the jade plate on the way, pretended to accidentally drop it, and when he saw Cheng Xiong's injury, anger appeared on his face, and he angrily reprimanded: "How can this be reasonable, hurt my friend like this." ”

Duda's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly picked up the jade plate, and he was shocked when he saw it.

When he saw the word Luo Tian engraved on the jade plate, he was even more panicked, and said suspiciously: "Are you from the Luo family?

Hearing this question, Xuan Hao knew that it had an effect, and he was happy in his heart, but anger still appeared on his face: "Hmph, when you go out, it is common to change your name and surname, could it be that this is only you?" After speaking, he glared at Duda angrily, not showing any cowardice.

Seeing this, although Du Da had some doubts in his heart, he had to admit that just a few days ago, he met some descendants of the Luo family, as if he was looking for something, could it be that he was looking for the person in front of him?

Duda froze in place, and did not make a move, he knew in his heart what would happen if he offended the Luo family.

So he gave up his hand and said with a smile: "I really don't know each other, I didn't expect it to be Young Master Luo, forgive the villain for being abrupt, but this matter is our private matter, so strong, I'm afraid it will be unfair." ”

Seeing that the big thing had been decided, Xuan Hao settled down in his heart, and said with momentum: "What if I insist on doing it?

Seeing that Xuan Hao was so fearless, Du Da was also a little flustered in his heart, but the person in front of him must not be able to offend, so he would just leave them alone and stay with them for a few more days, it would be impossible to have the protection of the Luo family all the time.

So he smiled and said: "Since Young Master Luo has spoken, we will definitely not be embarrassed, and I hope that everyone will make friends with each other, and there will be many ways for multiple friends." ”

Xuan Hao showed slight disdain, waved his hand and said, "Go!" Without looking at it, he checked the injuries of Cheng Xiong and the others by himself.

After Du Da and the others left, Xuan Hao slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, touched his chest, looked happy, and muttered, "I was almost scared to pee." ”
