Chapter 44: Invitation
Xia He!
Wang Yan didn't expect Xia He to take the initiative to come to the door, the key is how did he recognize himself? However, Wang Yanzi, who already has experience in the rivers and lakes, will not be so abrupt, and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Xia, meet again." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's true that we met again, before Brother Wang saw Xia He but didn't come to greet him, but it made Xia He very sad. Xia He still hasn't forgotten the scene of drinking and talking with Brother Wang that day, and even Brother Wang's drunkenness, eating meat, carrying a sword, killing people, talking and laughing are still imprinted in his mind.
Brother Wang sees that Xia He is now working as a guard in the Qinglou, and his status is low, so he doesn't want to recognize him? ”
Xia He is still so straightforward, but his words are a little aggressive, but fortunately, Wang Yan is no longer a chick in the rivers and lakes, and waved his hand and said: "Where is it, Wang Yan has no such intention, but there are other important things on this trip, so he didn't recognize Brother Xia." ”
Wang Yan's words may not be mellow, but Xia He came to the door not to accuse Wang Yan, so he took advantage of the words to get off the donkey and said, "In this case, Brother Wang is willing to conspire with Xia He to get drunk again?" ”
"Hahaha!"
Wang Yan laughed loudly and said quite boldly: "I'm afraid that you are drunk and unconscious, and I haven't drunk yet, so how can Wang Yan not want to?" ”
"Please!"
Saying that, Xia He waved his hand, and led Wang Yan to a tavern not far away, although Wang Yan was like an arrow, he was also curious about what Xia He was looking for him, so he whispered a few words with Fifth Rhyme, and the two entered the tavern with Xia He.
'Didn't dare to get drunk'.
This tavern has a strange name and unique furnishings, and when you enter the main entrance, you can see that there are large wine vats on all sides of the store, which are full of wine, and a red paper is pasted on the wall next to the counter at the entrance, which reads:
'If you dare to get drunk, take the wine yourself, and let you eat and drink.' ’
'Don't dare to get drunk, pour your own wine, three by two and one altar. ’
"It's kind of interesting."
Wang Yan only felt that the person who wrote these words should be a wonderful person, but he didn't care too much, obviously, if he really dared to get drunk in a chaotic place like Tianmaji, it was really a bad life, and he might be dragged to a corner if he couldn't get out of the store.
When he retracted his gaze, Wang Yan glanced around the store, now it was past the meal, there were not many customers in the store, only four or five people were eating and drinking in front of the table, just looking at one of them, Wang Yan, who was short and strong, with strong arms, wearing a short shirt on his upper body, and wearing a hat on his head, felt a little familiar, but this person was sitting in the north corner, with his back to Wang Yan, and there was a half-human high wide-backed heavy sword in his hand, Wang Yan went through this person and the acquaintances in his memory one by one, but found that there was no such person at all.
Is it a delusion?
Without waiting for Wang Yan to think about it, Xia He on the side found an empty table, and while beckoning Wang Yan to sit down, he picked up the empty wine jar on the table and scooped two full jars in the wine vat.
"Brother Wang, please!"
Xia He didn't say much, put the wine jar in front of Wang Yan, and then picked up the wine jar in his hand and drank wildly.
The two drank quickly and urgently, half of the jar of wine flowed to the placket, but Wang Yan and Xia He didn't care, and when the jar of wine was drunk, the two put down the jar of wine almost at the same time, and then looked at each other, and said in unison: "Happy!" ”
Before the words fell, the two of them laughed almost in unison, and they both felt very happy in the sonic vibration hall.
But there were more than two of them in this hall, and before the laughter of the two stopped, a bald head with triangular eyes in front of the table behind them slapped the table and said, "Malegobi, let people not be clean!" Two little miscellaneous..."
There are three big men at the same table with this bald head, all of them have evil faces, this bald head may feel that there are many people, and he is very polite to scold, but before he finishes speaking, Xia He's right hand suddenly holds the hilt of the knife.
Scold!
I only heard the sound of a knife, followed by the flash of the knife, the table was missing a corner, and three or four plates fell to the ground with a clang, but Xia He did not turn his head or turn around, he slowly returned the long knife to the sheath calmly, and said in his mouth: "The wine field is here to make trouble, if you want to be clean, you will go out of this door, Lao Tzu can send you to a place that will be clean forever!" ”
Xia He's words were murderous, but the four people at the table behind him didn't even dare to let out a fart, and the bald head looked at the broken corner of the table with cold sweat on his face, and his legs trembled like chaff.
But at this moment, the curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a graceful young woman wrapped in a red veil and wearing a plain Luo skirt walked out, glanced at the table with a broken corner, and then looked at Xia He and said lazily: "Thirty taels." ”
Xia He didn't say much, took out a silver ingot and threw it away. Swish! The silver ingots passed by in the air, and the young woman seemed to be quite lazy and stretched out her hand, but she caught the silver ingots steadily, and there was a smile on her face, and she said coquettishly: "Really good, there is freshly cooked beef in the back, I'll bring you a few catties later." ”
Hearing the young woman say this, the bald head seemed to have seen a ghost, and as soon as he kicked the three people next to him, he said, "Go, hurry up." ”
Saying that, the four of them rushed out of the store with a rolling belt, Xia He glanced at it and then retracted his gaze, looked at Wang Yan and said, "A few low-grade goods are good, and they have ruined Brother Wang's wine." ”
"Where."
Wang Yan shook his head, he didn't expect Xia He to be so unscrupulous in this Tianma set, and couldn't help but say: "Goodbye this time, Brother Xia's arrogance is better than before, Wang Yan is ashamed of himself." ”
"It's also influenced by Brother Wang, I just feel that walking the rivers and lakes should be more casual, but I've been here for some time, and the scale is naturally grasped, so Brother Wang doesn't have to worry about anything."
Xia He hasn't changed at all, straight and straight, like a strong wine like a single knife, but his knife is now sharpened, and the murderous aura is heavier, and the sharpness is so sharp that Wang Yan also feels that he has to retreat slightly. Thinking like this, Wang Yan didn't want to do any more entanglement, anyway, the wine had already been drunk and the gossip was over, so he was ready to go straight to ask Ming Xiahe about his intentions.
Just without waiting for Wang Yan to speak, Xia He put the sheathed long knife on his waist on the table, and then said: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and Xia He doesn't know how strong you are now, can you dare to try your hand with Xia He?" ”
In the face of this almost provocative words, Wang Yan frowned slightly, he didn't know what Xia He meant, but with his temperament, he would not fail to respond.
"How do I try my hand?"
"Between square inches, within three moves, Xu Jin is not allowed to retreat, and whoever leaves the stool will lose."
"Good!"
As soon as the word 'good' in Wang Yan's mouth settled, he and Xia He started almost at the same time, only to see Xia He move his palm into a knife, and across the table was a horizontal split, at the same time, his right leg flicked, his foot was like thunder, and Wang Yan ****, Xia He didn't leave half a hand, and he attacked up and down as soon as he came up.
However, Wang Yan was not slow, he sent his right foot forward close to the ground, and without waiting for Xia He's flick leg to hit directly, he twisted his hip violently, and pinned Xia He's right leg to the inner knee with his knee, so that his flick leg fell apart. And his left hand turned into a sword, and the back of Xia He's hand was a little sick.
Xia He witnessed how Wang Yan killed Wang Mocheng that day, and knew that Wang Yan had the kung fu of hitting holes in his hands, how dare he let Wang Yan hit the point, and the palm of the knife retracted when he landed, and the other hand was to slash the air and hit forward with a palm.
However, Wang Yan didn't wait for Xia He's palm to unfold, he slapped the table with his right hand, only to hear a muffled sound, and saw the chopsticks bounce off the table, and dozens of chopsticks in the tube were immediately thrown into the air.
This time, Deng Shi disrupted Xia He's rhythm, and there was an obstacle between the two of them, he couldn't help but retract his hands in front of him, ready to wait for the chopsticks to fall before making a move, but Wang Yan raised his left hand, took a chopstick, and then his wrist shook slightly, and a cold light pierced out from the gap between the dropped chopsticks, and before Xia He could react, the cold light had disappeared.
When the chopsticks were exhausted, Wang Yan also put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then hugged his fists at Xia He and said, "Accept." ”
Xia He touched his throat with a disgraced face, there was already a small red mark there, Xia He knew that if Wang Yan had just used a sharp blade instead of chopsticks, he had been pierced through his throat.
"What a neat sword, Xiao Xiazi, you won't be wronged if you lose."
Xia He hadn't come back to his senses yet, but the graceful young woman behind the counter said these words leisurely, Wang Yan couldn't help but glance at this woman, only to feel that this woman looked ordinary, but it was difficult to see the depths, it should not be a simple person, otherwise it would be impossible to open such a tavern in Tianmaji.
"Brother Wang's sword is sharper, Xia He is convinced!"
Xia He is not a person who can't afford to lose after all, but it is certain that he is depressed in his heart, after saying this, he stood up and walked to the wine vat and scooped up the wine and drank a few big sips, before sitting back at the table and said with a smile: "Let Brother Wang see and laugh." ”
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Brother Xia can say what to do with Wang Yan now, right?" ”
"Of course."
After saying this, Xia He couldn't help but glance at the fifth rhyme beside Wang Yan, Wang Yan understood what he meant, and whispered a few words with the fifth rhyme, this woman also obediently went to sit on the side, and only Xia He and Wang Yan were left around, Wang Yan said: "Before talking about the matter, Wang Yan has two things to ask for, one is about the assassination of Kang Jianmin at the beginning, I don't know what the ending of Qiming Building will be." Second, I wanted to ask Brother Xia how he recognized Wang Yan. ”
Xia He nodded and said: "At the beginning of the battle of Qiming Building, Brother Wang saw the opportunity to leave quickly, it can be said that he escaped a killing robbery, and the people in the field that day, except for Brother Wang, failed to escape, Li Yunyang and Kang Jianmin were captured by Chen Wenyuan, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead; As for Gao Li and his Neiying, they were killed on the spot; And I struggled with the one-eyed and one-armed old man for nearly twenty rounds, and in the end I could not escape the end of being slaughtered.
However, through that battle, I did have some understanding of the martial artists in the gestation period, although they were injured by death and regressed in martial arts, but they felt that their hearts had improved, so they came to this South River Valley to break through.
As for how I recognized Brother Wang, this is also simple, Brother Wang's ice silk hat can be described as unique, plus I have a deep memory of Brother Wang, and the figure and back are all remembered in my mind, and I recognize Brother Wang at a glance under the combination of the two. ”
I see!
Wang Yan didn't expect that the hat he specially selected turned out to be a flaw, he thought that it should be time to change his outfit when he went back this time, but what surprised Wang Yan the most was that Xia He mentioned that Chen Wenyuan had captured Li Yunyang and Kang Jianmin one after another.
You must know that defeating, killing, and capturing alive is more difficult than the other, although Li Yunyang and Kang Jianmin were already at the end of their crossbows that day, but Chen Wenyuan was able to capture two people one after another, and his strength was definitely far higher than that of Li and Kang, no wonder this Chen Wenyuan would have the title of 'Poisonous Heart Scribe', and this kind of title master should not be underestimated at all.
"The two things are clear, let's get down to business, I know that it is not for nothing that Brother Xia found me this time."
Wang Yan didn't want to delay more, and Xia He didn't go around and said, "This time Xia He came to find Brother Wang, just to join forces with Brother Wang again!" ”
