The man in the cloak was seven feet tall and muscular, with a sword box behind his back and a pitch-black scabbard in his hand.

It was the blacksmith Xue Hu.

"You ......"

Zhao Qi was speechless.

When Wei Yanjing crossed over to Zhao Qi and passed by Xue Hu, he slapped the sword that the woman handed him on the blacksmith's chest and said, "Your thing."

The blacksmith took the sword, drew it casually, and threw it on the side of the road, then drew his own sword from the pitch-black scabbard.

It was getting late, and two swords shimmered in the moonlight, one dark green and the other dark red.

The blacksmith only glanced at it, and then inserted it into the sword box behind him.

Zhao Qi walked over and asked, "Since you came back alive, why don't you go and see her?"

The blacksmith was expressionless, and forgot to glance at the head of Chaoge City, and only said: "It's better not to see each other than to see each other, and it's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

After speaking, he resolutely turned around and kept up with Wei Yan's pace.

The domineering sword Xue Hu, it was ten years ago, and Gai Nie was still a nameless swordsman at that time.

Xue Hu was originally an ordinary blacksmith who struck iron, and he had a beautiful wife by his side.

One day, the blacksmith's father and mother were murdered, and it was the famous son of Handan who did it.

Only then did the world know that the blacksmith who had been smiling all day long was an unbeatable master.

Xue Hu slaughtered the murderer all over the door, and when only the boy and brother were left, there was a white-clothed swordsman to stop him.

Xue Hu was defeated.

He lived in seclusion for three years, just so that one day he could defeat the white-clothed swordsman and avenge his father and mother.

The swordsman's name and surname are unforgettable in his life.

Gai Nie, the sword saint that everyone knows in the rivers and lakes today, except for Xianyang, the world's number one swordsman, I am afraid that there are few opponents.

Three years later, Xue Hu fought Gai Nie again, but still lost.

Looking at the back of the white-clothed swordsman in the rain, he realized that he was afraid that in this life, it would be difficult for him to defeat this person.

After that war, he went back to his home, but found that things had long been wrong, and his loyal wife had already remarried.

Looking at the woman beating her clothes by the pond, he finally couldn't take a step.

After that, he walked to the castle of Chaoge, and lived in seclusion in the blacksmith shop to make a living as an ironsmith.

Perhaps, there is still his name and surname on the rivers and lakes, but it is a stepping stone for Gai Nie to win the kendo.

The most taboo thing in martial arts is that there is a knot in his heart, Gai Nie is like a big mountain pressing on Xue Hu's heart, for ten years, there is no inch of sword progress.

And these, Xue Hu could only bury them in his heart, and it was not until he saw Wei Yan, who was silent, that he could be regarded as finding a mouth to confide.

I am afraid that only he and Wei Yan know about these things.

The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old man of the rivers and lakes.

……

The first stop of this trip was set in Linzi, which is the capital of Qi State.

Linzi is one of the largest cities in Qi country, and although the prosperity is similar to that of Chaoge, the scale is several times larger.

The most famous thing in Qidu is the world-famous Jixia School Palace.

In addition, the foundation of the Yin-Yang family is also here.

Linzi is only a hundred miles away from Chaoge, and it is only half a day to hurry up.

Out of the song city, the moon hung high in the sky, and the air after the rain was still humid and a little chilly.

I saw a two-story inn in the distance.

How can this barren mountain and wilderness actually find a place to rest, how can it not be exciting?

"Let's stay at the inn in front of us for the night, and we'll be on our way early tomorrow morning, right?" Zhao Qi asked Wei Yan's opinion, he really didn't want to walk, if he really went to Linzi on foot, then his leg would not be broken?

Xu is Wei Yan was also tired of leaving, so he didn't refuse, nodded, and walked straight in the direction of the inn.

There was a Ma Peng outside the inn, and there were more than a dozen horses in captivity, which made Zhao Qi a little overjoyed.

If you can buy it, wouldn't it be much more convenient to go to Linzi?

Entering the inn, the faint candlelight illuminates half of the room.

The proprietress was napping on the desk.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have a room?" Zhao Qi knocked on the table.

The proprietress rubbed her eyes, looked at the handsome brocade-clothed boy in front of her in a daze, and came back to her senses after a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, some of them, how many do you want?"

"Four." Zhao Qi said.

"Okay, a few of you, please." As she spoke, the proprietress made a gesture of please, and went upstairs with the lamp in her hand.

Zhao Qi and several people followed.

Pushing open the doors of the four rooms one after another, Zhao Qi and the others went to one each.

Zhao Qi walked into the last room, and the proprietress stood outside the door and said, "Objectively, what do you have to say downstairs to say hello."

"Got it." Zhao Qiqi nodded and closed the door.

The proprietress smiled "hehe" and went downstairs.

Pushing open the window, there was a forest as far as the eye could see.

Zhao Qi grinned, he hadn't seen the world before, what kind of good place could an inn built in this kind of place be? On the surface, it is an inn, but behind the scenes, it is not doing the business of killing people and selling goods.

It's just that when he met Zhao Qi today, he can only be regarded as unlucky, Zhao Qi can find out, how can the three of them make a mistake.

Zhao Qi probably could also think of the reason why Wei Yan agreed to stay in the hotel, it should be the same as his thoughts, and he fell in love with the horses outside the door.

Lying on the couch, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Looking back on his small half of his life, it is not a storm, but it can be regarded as experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world.

Zhao Tuo was a little overly spoiled by him as a son, and now that he thinks about it, there are too many things to hide from him.

He hadn't talked much to Zhao Tuo, since the Zhao Mansion had hidden Xia Li Mountain, how could there be no other masters? Since he was a child, how many masters have been with him, Zhao Zhi can't think of it now.

After leaving the Zhao Mansion, he met the quirky Taoist of Guling Mountain, and defeated the young leader known as the number one in Sumen Mountain.

It's like a dream.

Thinking back to Chaoge City, did the purple-clothed girl in Yingchun Tower sit by the window in a daze, but she was thinking about him, a person who traveled far away?

Zhao Qi never believed that someone as free and easy as him would fall in love with a worldly woman.

Now it seems that there is some faith.

The little Hou Ye was moved, if the Hou Mansion gang knew, I am afraid that it would have to be celebrated as a big event.

There was a noise outside the door, interrupting the reverie of the nobles in the room.

Zhao Qi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to avoid startling the snake.

The window paper by the door was punctured, and a faint scent wafted in.

Rosemary!

Zhao Qi was startled and took the opportunity to turn over and cover his mouth and nose.

I secretly said in my heart that I was lucky, but fortunately I opened the window when I came in, otherwise I would have really been tricked this time.

However, before the owner of the black shop could push the door in, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard downstairs.

There must have been some chaos in the inn, and there was a noise downstairs.

"Click."

There was a sound of something being broken, Zhao Qi couldn't lie down, got up and looked at the door, and saw that no one was peeping, so he walked lightly to the window and turned out.

Climbing down the railing, I finally got a clear view of the first floor.

A group of strong men who looked like robbers surrounded the proprietress together, and the first one was a middle-aged man in a black robe, who was not as rugged as the others, but had a bit of a scholarly taste.

"Liu Chunsan, even my brother in Heifeng Village dares to pit, are you afraid that you are tired of being crooked? Do you want to open this store? ”

A big man in black slashed at the counter and glared at the innkeeper and said angrily.

The proprietress trembled, pinched her handkerchief and said: "This master is angry first, the slave family really doesn't know that person is from Heifeng Village, if he knows, he won't dare to borrow my ten guts."

"It's not too late to know now, our brothers are here to seek justice, you say, how to solve this matter?" The strong man pulled out his knife from the cabinet and sat down on the nearby desk.

"Or ...... Ladies and gentlemen, take a sip of tea first, discuss this matter first, and wait for the result of the discussion, you speak, and the slave family will do it. ”

The proprietress said and began to make tea.

"It's fine." The robber, dressed as a scholar, nodded, and sat down nearby.

The rest of the entourage also sat down.

Zhao Qi can see that the proprietress in this store has too much appetite, and accidentally cheated one of the robbers, and now the wrongdoer has come to the door.

It's too careless, doing this kind of thing and still keeping a living, could it be that he only takes money and doesn't kill people?

The proprietress twisted her round spanking and shuttled between several people, pouring a cup of tea for each of the people who came.

"Liu Chunsan, you are also a ** lake, we all know the rules on the road, this kind of thing should at least take a finger from you, my brothers are not embarrassed by you A girl, just a hundred taels of silver, how about we do this?" The scholar casually put the saber on the desk and said.

Liu Chunsan smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

Zhao Qi sneered, are these robbers idiots? Dare to drink someone's tea when you are looking for trouble? Isn't this self-defeating?

Sure enough, after a while, a strong man screamed and collapsed to the ground.

"Tea is poisonous!"

Only then did the crowd come to their senses, but it was too late, and they fell to the ground.

Even the black-clothed man and the white-faced scholar who had just spoken, were lying on the table, unable to move.

Liu Chunsan only showed his horse's feet at this time, twisted his waist and walked to the side of the white-faced scholar, and said with a smile: "You little white face looks handsome, why can't you look good?" With a scholarly face, why is he so slow to react? ”

Walking around the table, Liu Chunsan continued: "When the old lady was doing this for a living, you big bosses of the Black Wind Village were still peeing and pinching mud to play, and you brainless people also wanted to scrape off a piece of meat on the old lady?"

The white-faced scholar's eyes were torn.

"Knife in the wind!"

Liu Chunsan shouted to the back kitchen, and a thin and black man with a towel on his shoulder and a little second looked like a man ran out.

"Drag these people to the back and chop them into pureed meat to eat, so that they can serve the guests later." Liu Chunsan's words were a little crazy, and even the peeping Zhao Qi was a little cool, and said secretly: In the future, you must not dare to eat the things of the Wilderness Ridge Inn.

There was a sound on the roof, and the proprietress heard the movement at once, and suddenly looked up in the direction where Zhao Qi was hiding, and shouted, "Who is it?" Come out! ”

Zhao Qi saw that his whereabouts were exposed, so he flew down, landed firmly on the ground, looked at the surprised proprietress, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I'm hungry and want to come down to find something to eat, but the proprietress is a little unappetizing when she said that."
