Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, is located on the bank of Yishui. Because Yan is located in the northern Xinjiang, and it is a weak country among the seven heroes, although Jicheng is also the capital of a country, its vast and magnificent can not be compared with Xianyang, prosperous and exquisite can not be compared with Handan, and Lile prosperity can not be compared with Linzi, but Jicheng is piled up by the fine green striped stones, but it also has a rough and majestic taste!

With the heavy gate of Jicheng going to the street, although the side houses and shops on the side of the road are built of wood as much as the countries of the Central Plains, it is difficult to compare with the Chinese countries regardless of the fine elegance of the carving and the gorgeous vividness of the patterns, but the simplicity and heroism revealed also have a unique charm!

Suddenly, there was a strong smell of wine wafting from the street, and when I looked for the aroma of wine, I saw a restaurant that was far more exquisite and elegant than other buildings. The noisy voices in the restaurant and the endless flow of people in front of the restaurant show that the business of this restaurant is really rare.

On the second floor of the restaurant, dozens of people were also sitting together, talking and laughing while drinking in a big bowl, the lively and casual atmosphere was very different from that of the Central Plains, showing the heroic style of the Yan boys.

On a private seat to the west, three extraordinary men were sitting around a table. The reason why they are extraordinary is because the unique charm formed by the clothing, faces, and temperament of these three people is only among dozens of people, and even among tens of thousands of people, they can be recognized at a glance.

The person sitting in the center, in his twenties, has a slender body, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a pair of bright eyes and a thin face like steel cast iron, which makes the whole person stand out with a kind of lean and steady atmosphere!

The person on the left is also in his twenties, but his figure is slightly thin, and there is a little indescribable smile on his strange face: it seems to be chic, it seems to be arrogant, and it seems to be amorous, which makes the whole person full of a kind of suave and otherworldly strange charm.

The one on the right is completely different from the first two: the body is majestic, as powerful as a mountain bear, the face is full of beard, like a roaring lion but people can't see the age, plus the pair of shining leopard eyes, so that the whole person shows an aggressive and fierce atmosphere.

In this small hotel, there are men with such an unearthly appearance and temperament, which can't help but make people feel secretly surprised.

The person in the middle, surnamed Jing Ruke, is a child of the former Weiguo official eunuch family, although his parents died when he was a child, his family property is very rich. In his life, he values love and righteousness, and likes to read and fencing the most. He once lobbied Wei Jun with the art of governing the country, but Wei Jun could not use it. Later, the Qin State invaded Wei, changed some areas of the Wei State and some of the Wei State to the Eastern County of the Qin State, and moved the Wei Jun to the frontier Yewang. Jing Ke was disheartened and fell into the Yan Kingdom! The hero of the famous story of 'Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin' in history is this person!

One person on the left, with a high surname and a high name, is the most famous construction artist in the early years of the Warring States period. His construction art is superb, the sound of the seven countries of the sound, and the music composed by him is also widely circulated among the famous countries. Although there are countless good builders in the world, Gao Yuanli has always had a strange temper and is high, and would rather build for the poor from time to time in exchange for a small amount of honorarium, rather than give a skill to those wealthy giants!

The person on the right, nameless, only called 'dog slaughterer', the world does not know his age, let alone his origin, only knows that he kills dogs and sells meat in the market for a living, so people call it 'dog slaughterer'. But I really didn't know that the 'dog slaughterer' was also a generation of emperors and 'hidden old men'!

These three people are all frequent customers of the current 'Yanfeng' restaurant, and they are also good friends who have passed their lives, and they are often invited to drink in this tavern.

It's also strange to say, the steady and fierce Jing Ke and the arrogant Gao gradually leave the amount of alcohol in general, but the rough appearance of the 'dog slaughterer' is also unbearable: it can really be said that the face is red in one cup, and the eyes are blurred in the stomach after three cups. Therefore, as soon as they come to the restaurant, these three people basically have no sober time, and they all have a drunken face when they talk about things. Often when talking about the rise, Jing Ke sang loudly, Gao gradually left to build accompaniment, and the dog butcher made peace. What's more, sometimes the three of them drank so much that they would even hug each other tightly, crying and laughing together. If it weren't for the fact that all the drinkers knew him, he would really think that the three of them were good men!

However, although the three of them quarreled, the beautiful widow proprietress of the hotel, Yukihime, wanted them to come every day. Gao gradually left the good at building, and his art is unparalleled in the world, but the only place in the world where he can openly hear his art is here. And Jing Ke is good at singing, the singing voice is strong and powerful, and the aftermath is endless, full of the heroic style of Yan Zhao, and it is also liked by the guests. Even when the dog slaughterer was drunk, he often danced the ox ear knife in his hand to help the fun, and the knife shadow in the sky and the fierce wind also made Yan Guonan applaud the crime. Therefore, every evening, the 'Yanfeng' tavern must be a thriving business, and people come and go, just because people want to come and enjoy their ears and eyes!

However, there are also good people who believe that the reason why the beautiful and charming widow proprietress Xue Ji often sends people to invite the three of them is because she has a crush on the talented and amorous Gao Yuanli, or the handsome and dashing Jing Ke, and even more, people think that this lonely Xue Ji has taken a fancy to the powerful body and outstanding swordsmanship of the dog slaughterer. However, the specific reason is known only to Yukihime herself.

On the evening of this day, Jing Ke and the other three were drinking in the restaurant, and when they were drunk, Gao gradually left his drunken eyes and said: "There is wine and meat and you can't do without songs, Brother Jing, you come to sing, I will accompany you, and enjoy the wine!" Jing Ke nodded, straightened his clothes and was about to sing loudly. The drinkers who had been waiting for a long time in the tavern suddenly quieted down one after another, ready to feast their ears, and even the sound of drinking became as "sizzling" as a woman!

I saw Gao Yuanli take the long building from behind him and put it horizontally on the table. Zhu, is a percussion instrument, with a thin neck and round shoulders, hollow, with thirteen strings, which is very popular in Qinwei.

Gao gradually left a little stroke, and after adjusting the syllables, he looked at Jing Ke, knocked on the door for a while, and waited for Jing Ke to sing loudly.

Jing Ke understood, smiled slightly, and sang casually with the tune:

The heavens and the earth are long and the white clouds are long,

The years are long and urging people to grow old,

Farewell without reunion, painful liver and sausage

Baiyun is my home everywhere,

My heart is wandering, where to go!

……

The passionate and smooth sound and generous and heroic singing fascinate the whole tavern in an instant. The wine guests all squinted their eyes and shook their heads to enjoy themselves, while tapping on the table in front of them to make harmony. For a time, the tavern was full of majestic male style. Even in the twenties of that year, Xue Ji, the proprietress with a slender waist and jade face, couldn't help but look at Gao Yanli and Jing Ke with charming eyes open!

At this moment, at the sound of the stairs, four people turned up, led by Fusu, followed by Qin Hu, Wuxin and Qi Hong. As soon as he entered the second floor, Fusu was immediately attracted by the majestic and stirring sound and singing, and couldn't help but close his eyes and take a long breath: "Good building!" Good song! This trip is unyielding! ”

Although Fusu is noble, unintentionally chic, Qin Hu is fierce, and Qi Hong is delicate, once he appears anywhere, he will immediately attract the attention of thousands of people, but at this time, almost no one in the restaurant looks at them a few times, and almost all of them are intoxicated by the stirring sound and singing. It was the shopkeeper who was supposed to entertain customers who were leaning on the counter at this time and shook his head and fell into intoxication, not looking at the four of Fusu.

The reckless Qin Hu was furious when he saw this, and was about to have a seizure, when Fu Su waved his hand slightly, and Qin Hu had no choice but to retreat his anger. I looked around, the upstairs was basically full, only there was a vacant seat in the northwest corner, and now it was not completely dark, which showed that its business was booming.

Heartless whispered; "Childe, there is still a vacant seat over there, although the location is not very good, Childe will take a moment!" Fusu nodded, and then came to the northwest corner and sat down. Qin Hu, Wuxin, and Qi Hong originally intended to stand behind them to accompany and protect, but after Fusu's signal, they had to sit down beside Fusu.

Fusu closed his eyes and calmed down, and his thoughts on the first floor immediately disappeared with the beautiful music.

Suddenly, Jing Ke's high-pitched and majestic singing voice passed, and just when everyone was still reminiscing, they saw the 'dog slaughterer' laughing and said: "Brother Jing Xian sings well, let me also echo a song!" As he spoke, he sang and sang as he wished, and Gao gradually changed his style of music, and became more indulgent:

A hundred years of life,

Like a dream,

The world is impermanent,

Convergence and dispersion.

Everything is as it is,

Troubles are gone,

Happy life,

Chic today.

……

As soon as this song came out, Fusu's face suddenly moved: The voice of the 'dog slaughterer' is more heroic and high-pitched than the majestic and agitated Jing Ke, with the sound of gold and stone, especially the elegance and boldness of the song It really doesn't seem to come from the mouth of a dog slaughterer, but when he thought that the 'dog slaughterer' was also a disciple of the grandfather, Fusu was also relieved in his heart: There is no vanity under the fame, and there are no inferior disciples under the famous teacher!

Just when Fu Su Wu was indulging in the music, suddenly the stairs sounded, and a rude voice like a male duck came up: "Damn, what a fucking disappointment!" As soon as I came in, I heard the ghosts screaming, and they all shut up the fucking Lao Tzu, and they were noisy! ”

"Zheng-" Gao gradually frowned, the smooth music suddenly couldn't be played, and the 'Dog Butcher' also looked at the staircase with an angry face.

The person who came was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a square face and a wide mouth. In particular, a sharp sword inlaid with precious stones hanging from his waist shows the identity of the person who came, and he is not an extraordinary person!

"Please pay attention to etiquette, this is an elegant place, do not mess around, so as not to affect the wine of others!" As the words moved, a beautiful woman stepped forward: the skin that was blown was like jade, the delicate and charming jade face was like a celestial, the pair of slender waists could be grasped, and she was wearing a simple dark green embroidered short robe, which looked simple and beautiful, and had a beautiful personality. It's the hotel's hostess Yukihime!

The ugly man's eyes suddenly lit up, he swallowed his saliva violently, and deliberately asked: "You are the shopkeeper?" Why didn't anyone greet me when I came to the restaurant, did you think Lao Tzu couldn't pay? The visitor was a guest, and Xue Ji was not angry, Yurong showed her face and said with a smile: "What did the guest say!" Just now, everyone was listening to the song and appreciating the music, and they were intoxicated for a while, and they were slow to treat the guests, so I hope you will forgive me! ”

Dahan laughed with a smile in his eyes: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." As long as you can stay with me for one night tonight, everything is easy to say! As he spoke, the big fan-like hand touched Xue Ji's white and smooth cheeks.

Xue Ji's face changed, and she was about to get angry, when she suddenly heard a quiet voice from the restaurant, "Hmph!" Voice. Dahan was suddenly furious: "Hmph, what hum! Which one is not convinced, stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing Gao Yanli a little lazy, he said, "It's me, what are you doing?" What kind of ability is it to bully a woman, and you have the ability to bully us! ”

The big man was furious, looked at it, and couldn't help laughing. Then he strode over and laughed at Jing Ke: "Jing Ke, it turned out to be you coward!" In the past, I heard in Handan that I was going to find you to compete with the sword, but you ran away when you heard the news. If you escape, you should have chosen a remote place to cat, but you still have the face to sing and enjoy here, and what is even more odious is that there is such a beautiful person to accompany you. You Lu Ye don't have this kind of blessing! ”

Jing Ke's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "It was originally Brother Lu Goujian, please take a seat!" When Fusu heard this, he frowned slightly, as if he had heard of this name, and asked Qi Hong in a low voice: "Hong'er, who is this Lu Sejian?" Qi Hong leaned on Fusu's side and whispered: "Lu Goujian, he is a famous swordsman in Qi State, and his swordsmanship is very powerful!" "Oh!" Fusu nodded, but he was not nervous at all, with Jing Ke and the 'Dog Slaughterer' here, how could this guy be so arrogant, just wait to watch the show!

I heard Lu Goujian say angrily: "Sit on your mother's seat!" Jing Ke, the last time I asked you to compete with the sword, you actually escaped, are you afraid, or do you think that my Lu Goujian's swordsmanship can't get into your eyes? Jing Ke said lightly: "It's not a real man's doing, if Brother Lu has to compete, Jing Ke will admit defeat!" ”

Lu Goujian said angrily: "What is considered to admit defeat!" Although I, Lu Goujian, am not a first-class swordsmanship master in the world, I can be regarded as having a little reputation. Winning is always upright and unpretentious, what do you mean by Jing Ke saying this, do you look down on me? Stand up and draw your sword! You can't run away this time, and I won't let you go today!"

Jing Ke frowned, but he still maintained a good self-cultivation and did not get angry. Fusu couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "What a person who can't bear it!" It's really a true warrior who thunders and doesn't change color! ”

At this moment, I heard the 'dog butcher' say lightly: "Jing Ke, why has your temper always been so good?" You, you, no matter what you do, will only make others more arrogant, and sometimes you should learn to use violence to solve problems. Well, let me send it for you. Who called me your good friend? ”

Lu Goujian looked at the 'Dog Butcher' when he heard this, and laughed with shame: "Jing Ke can also be regarded as the master of Han Qi, a famous swordsman in the country, what kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of competing with me?" ”

The 'Dog Butcher' said: "I'm not a 'thing', just a pig and dog slaughterer!" Lu Goujian said angrily: "The person who kills pigs and dogs also dares to compete with me and look for death!" If you don't want to live, I'll fulfill you. Draw your sword! ”

The 'Dog Slayer' blinked his eyes and said with a flat face: "Whatever sword you want to use, the sharp knife in my hand is enough!" Lu Goujian looked at it and saw that the 'dog slaughterer' was holding a bull-eared knife about a foot long in his hand, and he couldn't help but be furious: "What, you want to use the guy who kills pigs and dogs to compete with me!" What do you think of me Lu Goujian!? ”

The 'Dog Slayer' smiled faintly and said, "Be a barking dog!" What do you think you are?" As soon as the words fell, laughter broke out in the restaurant. Even Qi Hong smiled charmingly, buried his head on Fusu's shoulder, and chuckled: "This big man looks rough and arrogant, but it's really interesting!" ”

Fusu was secretly happy in his heart: "There is a good show to watch!" Today, I want to see and see, this uncle's world-beating swordsmanship! ”

I saw that Lu Goujian's originally black and purple complexion quickly turned red, and his complexion became hideous.

With a "cang" sound, Lu Goujian pulled out the long sword under his waist. The sword is a good sword, the quality of the black iron, the sword is three feet seven inches long, the sword is more than three inches wide, the sword body is bright and transparent, the cold light is shining, and it is as brilliant as a flood of autumn water under the illumination of the light.

Lu Goujian said angrily: "This sword is called 'Qiushui Sword', cutting gold and cutting iron, I didn't want to take advantage of you, you asked for it!" Be careful! As he spoke, he leaped forward and swung his sword at him. Fu Su smiled in his heart: "Although this person is reckless, he is also quite frank and cute!" ”

Seeing Lu Goujian let out a long roar, the long sword held up a sword flower, and the sound of wind and thunder loomed in the room, and Fu Su changed color slightly: "What a strong sword momentum!" "But seeing that the 'dog slaughterer's face did not change at all, he just waited quietly for Lu Goujian's offensive.

Between the lightning and flint, Lu Goujian's long sword flashed sharply, and it was like a thunderstorm. In an instant, the silver sword in the sky turned into three white lotuses, taking the lead in sealing the space on the left and right of the 'Dog Butcher' and on his head, and then the long sword danced wildly, rushing to the chest of the 'Dog Butcher' with a thunderous momentum!

Everyone upstairs suddenly gasped in shock: "Awesome, the 'Dog Slayer' is over!" ”

Seeing that the long sword was about to reach the body, the thick body of the 'Dog Butcher' somehow twisted suddenly, and he actually escaped from the dense net-like sword curtain, and the ox ear sharp knife suddenly hit the blade of the Qiushui Sword with the tip of the knife.

The power of the tip of the weapon is the strongest, and the 'Dog Slayer' hits the enemy with the strongest and the most weak, and it immediately reaps miraculous results. Nalu Goujian felt the sword body swing violently, and swung diagonally to the right. Immediately afterwards, the 'dog slaughterer' shouted softly, and the ox ear sharp knife slammed into Lu Goujian along the Qiushui Sword with a knife.

Lu Goujian was shocked when he saw this, and immediately abandoned his sword and retreated. And the 'Dog Slaughterer' forced Lu Goujian back, and did not pursue, but said lightly: "Although your swordsmanship is clever, it is flawed everywhere for me, is it even better?" ”

Lu Goujian looked at the long sword on the ground blankly, as if he couldn't accept such a fiasco for a while, and said with a pale face: "I lost!" Your swordsmanship is so skillful, dare to ask your name! The 'Dog Butcher' said lightly: "I don't have a name, everyone in the world calls me 'Dog Butcher'!" ”

Where is Lu Goujian willing to believe, he stomped his feet and was about to leave, the 'dog slaughterer' picked up the Qiushui sword with his toes, threw it at Lu Goujian and said: "Your sword!" Lu Goujian took the long sword, didn't say a word, and left on his own!

It was only then that the drinkers who had come back to their senses began to applaud at sky-high prices. Jing Ke also smiled slightly and said: "Thank you Brother Tu Dog for breaking the siege, my brother's swordsmanship is really unparalleled in the world!" ”

The 'Dog Slayer' laughed and said, "What is unparalleled in the world, Lao Tzu is just a scoundrel in the market!" Gao Yanli laughed when he heard this: "Brother Slaughter Dog is polite!" Come on, come on, Yaxing was interrupted by that rough man just now, and now I'll make up for it! ”

The dog slaughterer was about to start singing, when he saw a young man dressed in white brocade come forward, bowed slightly and said, "In Xia Zhao Su, Handan people's clan, I have just arrived in Jicheng." When I saw the demeanor of the three heroes today, I admired it in my heart, and I wondered if I could make a friend? ”
