In the wine shop just one street away from the Luofu noodle restaurant, Yuan Shu sat in the middle, Xu Yong sat opposite Yuan Shu with a humble smile, sipping the wine, and glanced at the Luofu noodle restaurant opposite from time to time, a young man with a strong figure and thick eyebrows and big eyes sat by the door, his hands on his knees, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't move.

"I said, can you calm down?" Yuan Shu was a little impatient by Xu Yong, "What are you afraid of, afraid that your uncle's level is not enough?" Don't tell me that the level of your Runan Xu family's ancient literature master is not as good as Liu Xiu's. ”

Xu Yong laughed embarrassedly twice, but didn't dare to answer, this was what he was worried about. Although he is said to be the younger brother of Xu Shen and Xu Shuzhong, he is known as the strongest ancient Chinese outside of Xu Shen, but to be honest, his ancient literary level is far worse than Xu Shenke.

"Don't worry, if Youping's Wen is not good, isn't there still Zhongkang's martial arts?" Yuan Shu glanced at the young man who was as immobile as a mountain, "Luoyang's first warrior who dragged the cow upside down, copper skin and iron bones, and the sword was invulnerable, I don't believe that Liu Xiu's shaft is still uneven." ”

"That's that, that's." Xu Yong nodded again and again, looking at the same clan who didn't know how many generations had passed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. In order to vent his anger, this time the Xu family made a lot of money, not only invited Xu Jin, a scholar who studied "Shuowen Jie Zi", from his hometown in Runan, but also invited the number one master Xu Yu from Luoyang's Huiren House, and spent twenty gold just to let him make a move.

Twenty gold. Thinking of all that gold, Xu Yong's heart was dripping blood, the Yuan family would not pay a penny, of course, all this money had to be paid by the Xu family, if Liu Xiu was still uneven, he really had no tricks.

Yuan Shu smiled contemptuously, he felt that although Xu Yong was a child of the Xu family in Runan, his surname was too bad to hold his breath, and he was so nervous that he was like this. Even if Wen is not martial, he is still the last hand, official, the mayor of Luoyang is the former official of his Yuan family, let him go to check the account of the Luo noodle restaurant, saying that they evade taxes, that is not a trivial matter?

What he has to do is to sit here, wait to see Liu Xiu's disgraced face, and then go out to pretend to be a good person and clean up the mess, so that the anger will also come out, and the reputation will be gained, even if Liu Xiu still refuses to join his disciples, it will not matter.

What's the difference between a ruined celebrity and a pile of shit?

Yuan Shu was very sure, he had almost seen Liu Xiu's miserable appearance, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"It's out, it's out." Xu Yong suddenly screamed, and was glared at by Yuan Shu, and he stopped talking. There was a sound of stairs, and Xu Jin walked up with a happy face, bowing to Yuan Shu: "Fortunately, I have not disgraced my mission." ”

Yuan Shu hurriedly got up, motioned for Xu Jin to sit down, and said politely: "All the notes are out?" ”

Xu Jin nodded: "All the notes have been noted, and the remaining fifty-seven words are not missing." ”

Xu Yong was overjoyed, and Yuan Shu was also very happy, but he hadn't lost his mind yet: "What did Liu Xiu say?" ”

Xu Jin pursed his lips, revealing three points of arrogance: "What else can he say, he can only politely ask me for advice, and then ask me to write a copy myself." Xu Jin slapped a piece of gold cake on the case with a "snap", and said proudly: "This is the Xie Yi he gave me, I wrote out fifty-seven words, according to their rules, you can eat fifty-seven bowls of noodles here for free." I was so busy that I didn't have time to eat his noodles, so I asked him to convert it into money for me. He smiled, "I'm not greedy for this money, I just want to humiliate him." ”

Yuan Shu understood and laughed, "It should be, it should be." ”

"It's here, I'm going back to Runan." Xu Jin said reservedly: "Thinking about this setback, this vertical man no longer dares to boast in front of people with ancient texts." I don't need to do anything else. ”

Yuan Shumei smiled and asked, "What was Liu Xiu's face at that time?" ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, and nodded appreciatively: "Although this young man is a little ignorant, he is still quite powerful, I noted the remaining fifty-seven words, and insulted him in front of him a few words, he not only did not get angry, but also asked me for advice with a smile on his face." Well, it's kind of a teachable material, and if it weren't for his rudeness, I'd have liked to point him out. ”

"Pointing him out?" Before Yuan Shu could speak, Xu Yong shouted. Because of Liu Xiu's few words, he has now become a joke in Taixue, and he has been scolded for being stupid and hating Liu Xiu to the core.

Yuan Shu smacked his lips, although Xu Jin defeated Liu Xiu in the ancient text, but Liu Xiu didn't seem to have suffered any blows, he always felt a little unpleasant, and at the same time a little unwilling. He waved his hand: "Mr. Youping, don't be in a hurry to leave, my uncle is going to invite you to the mansion for a while, you should wait for two days." ”

As soon as he heard that Lord Situ invited him to dinner, Xu Jin immediately stopped mentioning the matter of leaving. Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xu Yu and said, "Zhongkang, Mr. Youping has already won the battle, and it's up to you to do the following." As long as we can win Liu Xiu's one and a half moves and break his arrogance, we will be considered successful today, and I will set up a celebration banquet for you in the evening. ”

Xu Yu bowed slightly, didn't speak, got up and went downstairs. His steps were heavy, and he walked like a mountain moving, which made Yuan Shu very worried that the entire wine shop would be trampled down by him. Yuan Shu walked to the window, watched Xu Yu go out of the door, and walked in front of Luo Shi Noodle Restaurant, and couldn't help but smile happily. He didn't see the scene of Xu Jin humiliating Liu Xiu just now, he really regretted it, this time it was martial arts, it must be more lively than just now, he couldn't miss it.

Liu Xian was on the second floor looking at the annotations of the stone drum text recorded by Xu Jin's hand, and when he heard the sound of the middle air downstairs, he knew that he had come to kick the hall again. He put away the piece of paper, went downstairs, and told Liu Mochou to put it away and not to lose it. When I looked up, I was startled, what kind of person was this, obviously a bull.

The man in front of him is not particularly tall, about a little more than eight feet, but he is very strong, his waist, abdomen and feet are half thicker than ordinary people, coarse cloth clothes can't cover his strong arms, bulging muscles, it looks thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and he knows at a glance that he is a warrior with amazing strength.

"You are?"

"Xu Yu Xu Zhongkang, I heard that Liu Jun's martial arts skills are outstanding, so I came to learn from him." Xu Yu said lightly, he just glanced at Liu Xiu, and then turned his gaze to the side. Liu Xiu's height is about the same as him, and his physique looks strong in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his opinion, this is no different from a weak woman, it is estimated that he can only withstand one punch from him at most, and the second punch can make him vomit blood and complete the task assigned by Yuan Shu.

Again, a task without challenges. Xu Yu sighed secretly, when will he be able to meet an opponent of equal strength and let go of the fight.

"Xu Yu?" Liu Xiu was taken aback, and looked at the muscular man in front of him again, it turned out that this was that tiger idiot, no wonder even Jin Ma Chao was a little stunned when he saw him, so he knew that he was a melee master, even if the stone man was punched by him, he probably couldn't withstand it. Why, he is also from the Runan Xu family?

Liu Xiu motioned to the Hu waitresses who were stunned by Xu Yu to stay away, although they were a little stronger than ordinary women, but in front of Xu Yu, a muscular man, their strength had no meaning, I was afraid that even Xu Yu's fist style would not be able to stop it. He raised his head and looked at Xu Yu quietly: "Are we wronged?" ”

Xu Yu frowned and shook his head: "No injustice." ”

"Lately there is a feud?"

Xu Yu shook his head again, although he is also surnamed Xu, but he has nothing to do with the Xu family in Runan, Xu Yong was insulted by Liu Xiu, and it has nothing to do with him, he is a warrior of the Luoyang Huiren family, and coming here to compete with Liu Xiu is just a task, a normal task.

"Since there is no grievance in the past and no hatred in the near future, I don't seem to have to accept your challenge, right?" Liu Xiu spread his hands and said innocently. The corners of Xu Yu's mouth twitched, feeling that although this young man was spineless, he was still smart and knew that he was not an opponent.

"I'm challenging you, it's just a mission." Xu Yu said expressionlessly: "Whether you want to accept it or not, I will beat you." It doesn't matter if you fight back or not. ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, this is called fucking arrogant, powerful people just speak differently, if you fight back, I will beat you, if you don't fight back, I still want to beat you, if you don't fight back, it makes no difference to me. Is there such a fucking bully?

"It's a task for you." Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "So I have to fight with you?" ”

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, "Yes." ”

"Fight with you, you completed the mission, what did I get?"

Xu Yu didn't say anything, and said in his heart If it weren't for the Yuan family saying that they couldn't take your surname, you should have gotten a horizontal death, and now, you should have been lying in bed for a few months. He looked at Liu Xiu silently, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, like watching a clown jumping desperately. When there is no worthy opponent, it is barely fun to appreciate the useless struggle of the opponent.

"If I don't fight you, you can't complete the mission, or, if you can't beat me and the mission fails, what will happen to you?"

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally turned his gaze back to Liu Xiu's face, he was surprised to find that he had misunderstood Liu Xiu just now, Liu Xiu's face obviously couldn't see the fear he should have, on the contrary, he seemed too calm.

This man is indeed a master, and with this composure and fearlessness alone, he deserves his respect. Xu Yu restrained the contempt in his heart, and solemnly thought about the question Liu Xiu had just raised, and said slowly for a long time: "If you don't fight with me, and you can escape my pursuit, as long as it exceeds three days, I will be considered a failure in the mission." Well, I'll die. He was silent for a moment, then added, "No one dares to kill me, but I will kill myself." As the first master of Luoyang's first guild, if the mission fails, I will only die. ”

"So, from this moment on, there is only one between you and me?" Liu Xiu smiled, walked to the desk and sat down easily, motioned to Hu Nu to send two glasses of wine, and beckoned to Xu Yu: "In that case, should we have a drink first?" ”

Xu Yu became more and more curious, he hesitated for a moment, and sat opposite Liu Xiu, but did not touch the wine glass on the case. Liu Xiu smiled slightly, drank both glasses of wine, and then pushed the wine jug in front of Xu Yu and motioned for him to pour it. Xu Yu hesitated for a moment, stretched out his big fan-like hand, picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, watched Liu Xiu drink a glass, and then also drank a glass.

He flashed the bottom of the cup at Liu Xiu, signaling that he had finished drinking.

Liu Xiu grabbed the wine jug by himself, calmly poured himself a drink, and said to Xu Yu in a discussion tone: "You are for the task, whether I win or lose, it is not good, isn't it unfair?" ”

Xu Yu thought about it and felt that Liu Xiu made sense, so he nodded.

"Then, I am willing to fight you, which is equivalent to doing you a favor, to put it more seriously, it is saving your life." Liu Xiu drank another glass of wine and said with a smile: "You may not know, when I was in Northern Xinjiang, they only knew that I could kill people, but they didn't know that I was running faster than killing people." If I want to escape, let alone three days, even three years, you won't be able to catch up with me. Why don't we try it? ”

Xu Yu was confused by Liu Xiu, this scene in front of him had never appeared, and it had never been in his consideration, the opponents he encountered were either roaring and rushing up, or running away, but no one would sit and talk to him so easily, discussing the life and death of both parties, but it was like talking about a business.

He glanced at Liu Xiu and nodded to believe Liu Xiu's words, no matter whether Liu Xiu really escaped quickly, at least he dared to talk to him so easily, it was somewhat credible. He was a little confused and looked at Liu Xiu blankly.

"In that case, shouldn't you give me some favor?" Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and leaned on the case very casually: "If there is no benefit, why should I save you, are you right?" ”

Xu Yu couldn't help laughing, and raised his sword-like thick eyebrows: "What benefits do you want?" ”

"If I lose, of course I don't have anything to say, I'll leave it at your disposal." Liu Xiu poured him another glass of wine, then poured himself a glass, took it and smacked it, tasted it carefully, swallowed it in one gulp, looked at the residual liquid film on the wall of the cup, and said lightly: "If I win, you don't have to die, your life is mine." As for the House of Appointments, I'll deal with it. ”

Xu Yu crooked the corners of his mouth, he felt that Liu Xiu was really interesting, not only wanted to win against him, but also wanted to work hard for him, his tone was unimaginably big, the affairs of the family would be handled by him, could he handle it?

However, all this is of little practical significance, as long as he agrees to fight, there will be only one result.

"Yes." Xu Yu felt as if he had returned to his childhood, betting with a group of friends.

Liu Xiu also smiled and raised his palm: "A gentleman's word? ”

"It's hard to chase a horse." Xu Yu raised his giant palm, lightly struck Liu Xiu three times, and then smiled as well.

"Alright, after drinking this wine, let's go out and have a fight." Liu Xiu said generously: "You still have to do business here, you need money for everything, look at you like this, you definitely didn't bring any money, the loss is mine, that's not good." ”

The more Xu Yu listened, the more he wanted to laugh, this is a person who is dying, and he still thinks about money. Hey, I really don't know if he's optimistic or stupid, anyway, he's here to beat people, not to smash the store, just go out to fight.

After the two finished drinking, Liu Xiu got up and dusted off his clothes, easily said hello to the fake shopkeeper, and took Xu Yu all the way out of the market. Yuan Shu and the others on the opposite side saw it, they were a little inexplicable, they didn't think much about it, they hurriedly went downstairs and followed closely out.

At the edge of Luoshui, Liu Xiu and Xu Yu stood three steps apart, Liu Xiu looked at the sparkling water, and glanced at Yuan Shu and the others who were sneaky in the distance, and raised his eyelids: "Xu Zhongkang, what is your strongest martial art?" ”

Xu Yu was silent for a moment: "I slashed and stabbed with a sword, and I was unharmed. ”

"Then let's compare this, I'll stab you, if you get hurt, you lose, if you don't hurt, I lose." Liu Xiu pulled out the knife and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your life is already mine, I won't cut too deeply, as long as I see blood." ”

Xu Yu was enraged by the contempt revealed in his words, and without thinking too much, he sneered: "Okay! "Since the cultivation of this magical martial art, he has been slashed and stabbed by countless swords every day, and no one has ever been able to hurt him, even the so-called sword, and he doesn't care about such a small knife in Liu Xiu's hand. He tugged at the placket of his clothes, revealing his chest as strong as iron, and thumped it vigorously, making a thumping sound: "Come on." ”

Yuan Shu, who was hiding in the distance, was startled when he saw it, and looked back at Xu Yong: "Is this Xu Yu a fool who lets someone cut him with a knife?" ”

Xu Yong smiled slightly: "The captain doesn't know, Xu Yu's strongest martial art is not afraid of slashing and stabbing swords." Wang Yue, the first swordsman in Luoyang, fought against him and stabbed him thirteen swords in one go, leaving not even a trace. ”

"And this kind of martial arts?" Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and became curious.

"yes, I didn't believe it at first, but then I tried it myself." Xu Yong swore that he had indeed tried, and slashed Xu Yu three times with all his strength, but only Xu Yu had three marks cut on his back, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After listening to Xu Yongmei's story, Yuan Shu was also very happy, with such a strange person, it was difficult for Liu Xiu to be undefeated. He looked into the distance again and opened his eyes wide, for fear of missing the scene where Liu Xiu was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy by Xu Yu. With Xu Yu's force, it is estimated that Liu Xiu will fall very quickly, just like when he knocked down the five of them that day.

It's a rare opportunity. Yuan Shu held his breath, forced his surging mood, and waited for the exciting scene, and at the same time began to think about what kind of words to say at the time to make Liu Xiu grateful to him inexplicably.

However, the next scene surprised Yuan Shu and puzzled, "This ...... What's going on? Yuan Shu was furious, pointed at Xu Yu and asked Xu Yongdao. Xu Yong was also stupid, straightened up, and even forgot to answer Yuan Shu's question.

He didn't know what was going on, he only saw Liu Xiu holding the knife in his hand, and he didn't make any moves, but the invincible Xu Yu seemed to have been hit hard, and took two steps back, acting in a hurry, looking flustered.
