Ma Kongming said: "Yes, it seems that everyone has gathered in the main hall, and it seems that either some important guest has come, or a big enemy has come." ”

Lu Yuan listened intently for a moment, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything.

It didn't take long for Ma Kongming to speak: "The people outside are back. Then he shouted, "Someone! ”

Soon, a Zhuang Ding walked in with a faceless face and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Did something just happen?" Ma Kongming asked.

Zhuang Ding was still expressionless: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, Steward Zheng has instructed you to stay in the village for one night." ”

Ma Kongming poured a glass of wine slowly, opened his mouth and took a breath, only to see that the wine in the cup formed a stream of water, flying into his mouth like a long snake, he smiled: "Is there really nothing going on?" ”

If you want others to respect you, it's very simple, just show your hand.

Of course, if you have a hand.

After the Zhuang Ding realized that Ma Kongming was a hidden master, his attitude changed dramatically, and he arched his hand and said: "Let the hero know that just now the Hidden Sword Villa sent someone to my village to fight with my village." ”

"What is Sword Battle?" Lu Yuanqi said.

The Zhuang Ding glanced at him, thinking that since he had been with that master all the way, maybe he was also a master, so he patiently explained: "It is to use the sword cast by their Hidden Sword Villa to challenge me to forge the sword of the Sword Casting Villa, which is only sharper than the sword, not better than martial arts." ”

"Sounds interesting." Lu Yuan smiled and said, "When is the competition?" ”

"Tomorrow."

Lu Yuan nodded, and Suo Xi NG was not in a hurry to find Qi Guangzi, ready to watch this good show.

……

When Qi Guangzi returned to the Knife Casting Villa from his blacksmithing house in the mountains, it was already midnight, and when he returned to the room, he washed his face and asked the housekeeper about the big and small affairs in the villa today.

The butler swallowed his saliva and did not speak, his face frightened.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Qi Guangzi asked.

The housekeeper hesitated and said: "Owner, the Hidden Sword Villa has challenged us again today, and the time is set for tomorrow." ”

"Hmph, it's coming, it's coming, what's there to be afraid of." Qi Guangzi didn't care about it in his mouth, but his hands shook unconsciously.

Five years ago, the Hidden Sword Villa had a competition with the Hidden Sword Villa, and the Casting Sword Villa lost that time, and since then it has been steadily pressed by the Hidden Sword Villa on the rivers and lakes, and the disciples of the sect have to walk around when they see the people of the Hidden Sword Villa.

Since then, Qi Guangzi has spent most of his time in the mountains in order to study the art of knife casting without distraction.

Unexpectedly, before he took the initiative to challenge the Hidden Sword Villa, Li Muyi's bastard came to the door again.

The Sword Casting Villa and the Hidden Sword Villa were originally one family, but they were later split into two due to an accident, and they have always regarded each other as their biggest opponents, and Qi Guangzi and Li Muyi grew up in competition.

Qi Guangzi is a diligent and hard-working swordsmith, who spends most of his day on forging knives and has no interest in other things, while Li Muyi is different, he is not only interested in forging swords, he will dabble in everything related to swords, and even in order to use the swords he forged, he also studied a high level of martial arts.

The result is that Qi Guangzi has been pressed by Li Muyi since he was a child.

He was naturally not convinced, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always unable to defeat Li Muyi's big mountain.

"Anything else?" Qi Guangzi asked.

The butler took out a few greeting stickers and said, "Some people want to visit you tomorrow." ”

Qi Guangzi said impatiently: "No." ”

"But among them, there is also Huang Fusheng, the young marshal of the Jianwu Army, the worship sticker was sent by Zhang Kuo's father and daughter, they moved away today, and they were going to talk to you before moving away, but you didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so ......"

Qi Guangzi frowned and said, "How did Zhang Kuo get involved with the Jianwu Army, isn't this looking for death?" ”

"Master, although Mr. Zhang didn't say it, I heard that his missing daughter seems to have died in the city, which may have something to do with it." The butler guessed.

Qi Guangzi was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I hurt him, then let's see, no matter how domineering he is in the army, can he still eat me?" ”

The housekeeper smiled and said: "Master, you are joking, the Jianwu Army should hope that you will join them and build weapons for them, even the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa Li Zhuang has now taken refuge in Ning**, I think you ...... master"

"Shut up!" Qi Guangzi shouted angrily: "Are you Li Muyi's spineless guy when I think of me? ”

"Yes, yes, the little gaffe."

"Humph!" Qi Guangzi flicked his sleeves and turned away.

Following.

Since the morning, the Sword Casting Mountain Villa has been flooded with a large number of martial arts people.

When Lu Yuan was having breakfast in the side hall, he found that the hall was suddenly full of people from the rivers and lakes, and it was very lively, and most of the people were talking about this afternoon's "sword competition".

He inquired with a Jianghu guest next to him and found out that the Hidden Sword Villa had publicized the matter in the city, and it seemed that he was determined to win this afternoon's competition.

It didn't take long for everyone to be invited to the hall, and Lu Yuan saw several groups of acquaintances in the hall, one of which was yesterday's Khitan, and the other was Huang Fusheng, the young marshal of the Jianwu Army.

Beside him was still standing the father and daughter from yesterday, and it was Qi Guangzi, the owner of the villa, who entertained him, and they were sitting around the main table.

Judging from his appearance, Qi Guangzi is a very ordinary old man, but when he sees his hands, it is obvious that he is a blacksmith, his hands are full of calluses and rust, green tendons are exposed, and ravines are vertical and horizontal.

This is a pair of hands that sell very poorly, but for Lu Yuan, they are a pair of useful hands.

The hall was much larger than the side hall, but there were more people, and everyone gathered together to talk to each other, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Ma Kongming said with a smile: "Miss Li, I heard Xuankong say that you really want to participate in the martial arts conference, but in fact, the atmosphere of the martial arts conference is similar to now." ”

"Really?" Li Ruozhen glanced left and right, and there was disappointment in his eyes.

"Ugh." Lu Yuan sighed with emotion and put his hand on her shoulder, he could understand the sense of loss caused by this gap between ideal and reality.

Li Ruozhen glanced at him and slapped his hand away.

At this moment, a Jianghu guest walked over, staring at Ma Kongming with his eyes fixed, and said tentatively: "Brother Ma? ”

Ma Kongming turned his eyes and said in surprise: "Xiong San? ”

Xiong San was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Ma, it's really you, that's great!" ”

Ma Kongming is a native of the northern rivers and lakes, and few people in the south have seen him, and this Xiong San is Ma Kongming's subordinate in the Yellow River Gang back then.

Suddenly seeing his former brother, Ma Kongming was also a little happy, and said with a smile: "Xiong San, why did you come to Jiangnan?" ”

Hearing this, Xiong San's face became a little gloomy, and suddenly, he knelt on his knees and choked up: "Brother Ma, come back, the Yellow River Gang can't live without you!" ”

Ma Kongming hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with the Yellow River Gang? ”

Xiong San said with red eyes: "Since you left the Yellow River Gang and passed the position of the gang leader to Brother Qi, it didn't take long for Brother Qi to leave, and he passed the position of the gang leader to Brother Du. ”

Ma Kongming sighed, Qi Zhen had told him all this, but Qi Zhen said a few words briefly at that time, Ma Kongming did not expect such a big impact on the Yellow River Gang.

"Later, Brother Hu disagreed with Brother Du, and also left with a group of brothers, in order to establish his prestige, Brother Du decided to assassinate the Khitan prince Yelu Jingde, but not only failed, but even lost his life!" Xiong San said sadly.

"Brother Du is too impulsive." Ma Kongming sighed, the entire Yellow River Gang is to drive out the foreign tribes as the highest goal, but now his way of thinking has changed, knowing that if he wants to drive away the Khitans, it is useless to kill their princes, only to defeat them with the army.

"Brother Ma, you must avenge Brother Du!"

"You want me to assassinate the Khitan prince?" Ma Kongming said in a deep voice.

"No!" Xiong San shook his head vigorously, staring at the group of Khitan people: "Yelu Jingde is here, we followed all the way to deal with them, but what we want to kill is not Yelu Jingde, but Xuanyuan He." ”

"Could it be that he was the one who killed Brother Du?" Ma Kongming looked at Xuanyuan Hedao.

Xiong San gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, although he used to be known as the desert lonely man, he was bewitched by the Khitan demon girl, and now he has become the dog of the Khitan people." In the past year, many heroes in the north have died under him, everyone went to beg Mu Sanjian to make a move, but he refused to agree, Brother Ma, only you can avenge the big guy! ”

Ma Kongming was about to say yes, but suddenly remembered something, looked at Lu Yuan, and saw him nodding, so he said, "Okay, but after the sword battle." ”
