Chapter 40: A Dance of Two Swords

The first thing Lin Yuanzheng did after getting off work was to go to the Jiangnan Tavern to sit down. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the NPCs in this world generally abide by the routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, even if he works in a luxurious Jiangdong Inn, Da Qiao did not ask him to stay and work overtime. As soon as it gets dark, the inn closes.

Although there are still fewer drinkers and diners in the Jiangnan Tavern than yesterday, there are still quite a lot of people. A dog's tail grass is still sitting in that corner, waiting for customers to come to the door, as if that corner is specially prepared for him. From time to time, one or two people hurried up to him and whispered a few words, but most of the time it was a dog's tail grass that gave the money.

"No way, these are my informants, I have to keep them." A dog's tail grass was holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and as soon as he saw Lin Yuanzheng coming over, he saw his doubts.

"I've found a job, I'll give you a drink." Anyway, Lin Yuanzheng still wanted to thank a dog's tail grass.

"Huh." A hint of surprise flashed across a dog's tail grass face, "You can really get a job in an NPC's place!" ”

"Didn't you introduce me?" Lin Yuanzheng didn't react at once.

"I'm just joking with you, testing you to see if you're a player or an NPC, haha. Don't be angry, there are so many players, you are the only one who has no level, don't you think you are suspicious? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I suspect you're not a player at all, but a special NPC." A dog's tail grass said directly.

"Have you ever seen an NPC like me?" Lin Yuanzheng was amused by his thoughts.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." A dog's tail shook its head.

"Looks like I don't need to ask you for a drink." Lin Yuanzheng was unceremonious.

"Please. I never drink anyway. A dog's tail grass doesn't care, "Then again, you're the first person who can get a job at the Jiangdong Inn." Ha ha. ”

Lin Yuanzheng didn't know what to say all of a sudden, this guy, obviously saw him drinking yesterday, and now he said that he never drank, it's really hard to figure out what kind of person he is.

After two bowls of wine, Lin Yuanzheng found that the wine here was really special, although the taste was not very good, a little light, but after drinking it, he felt a little drunk.

"I said, "Don't just focus on work. There are a lot of important things that you have to hurry up with, or it will be too late. A dog's tail grass said suddenly.

"What else is important?" Lin Yuanzheng didn't understand for a while.

"You have to hurry up and visit a master and choose your future career. Otherwise, why would the spark lend you money? You have to know that in this world, it's not enough to have a job to make money, you have to be strong. People who are not strong enough will not die miserably in this world, but will live miserably. ”

It's so familiar, as if I've heard someone say it before.

"Xiaocao is right! Work is just about survival, but you can't just work to survive. Eh, eh, what does that saying - people eat to live, but I don't just live to eat. A big man next to him was drunk, and suddenly interjected.

"Shandong Xiangma, I didn't expect you to be a philosopher." A dog's tail grass said coldly, not knowing whether it was mockery or ridicule.

"What's the use?!" The drunk man named "Shandong Xiangma" pounded the table with one hand, and the entire gear was shaken by his hammer, and the people next to him looked at him angrily. The drunk man didn't realize it, raised his head, and drank the wine in his hand in one gulp: "Dude, another altar - damn it, what the hell are women thinking about now?!" Shuishui, do you know how much I love you? I am willing to do anything for you, why do you still refuse me? Why! ”

The tavern guy looked at him suspiciously: "Guest officer, you came early in the morning, and you've been drinking here for a whole day......"

"What's the fuss?" The drunk man was furious, took out a money bag from his body and slammed it on the table, "Are you afraid that I won't give money?" Take these and let me have a good drink! ”

The money bag was large and bulging, and immediately attracted the attention of many people, so the man had to carefully take out a small piece of broken silver from it, and then brought a small wine jar. The drunkard only cared about pouring and drinking, and the money bag was not returned.

A hunched man with his hands in a trench coat struck the drunk man from behind, shouted sorry, and hurried outside.

"Hey! Your money bag! Lin Yuanzheng couldn't help but remind the drunk man loudly, everyone saw that the man in the trench coat had stolen the drunkard's money bag just now, but they all turned a blind eye.

"Eventful!" A dog's tail grass said coldly, "Just take care of yourself." Seeing that the road is uneven, pulling out a knife to help is not popular here, and it is you who will get into trouble later. ”

Lin Yuanzheng was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute.

Just as the man in the trench coat hurriedly walked out of the door of the tavern, a leg was stretched out from the door and tripped up, and the man in the trench coat fell into the mud solidly. A very handsome man with long blond hair walked past him, then leaned down and picked up the money bag that had fallen on the ground, weighed it twice in his hand, and said to himself: "Good fellow, the weight is not light, this time it will be sent." ”

As soon as the man in the trench coat saw that the large bag of money he had stolen fell into the hands of someone else like this, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately took out a dagger from his body and threw himself at the blonde man. The blonde man didn't raise his eyelids, he directly raised his foot and kicked it behind him, and with a "bang", the man in the trench coat was kicked by this kick and hit the wall hard.

"Do you understand the rules?!" The man in the trench coat let out a roar with red eyes, stood up again with the dagger in his hand, shook his body twice, immediately became blurred, and then disappeared from people's field of vision.

"Invisibility?" The corners of the blonde man's mouth curved, revealing a contemptuous smile, and quickly pulled out a long sword from his back, the sword light shining brightly, enveloping him in an airtight body. In the agitation of the sword wind, I saw him suddenly rise vertically, and quickly "brushed" two swords towards a place in the corner.

"Snort-la-" With a sound, the invisibility technique of the man in the trench coat was broken, and two huge sword marks appeared on his body, and the whole person fell to the ground, blood soaring.

"Rules?" The blonde man inserted the long sword into the scabbard behind his back, and his long hair was raised, "Doesn't it mean that whoever has high martial arts is the rule?" Remember, the Gangnam Tavern is not a place for you to go wild. ”

The trench coat man struggled to his feet, glared at the blonde man hatefully, and limped into the shadows deep in the street.

The blonde man won and strode towards the drunk: "Hey, man, you see that I helped you get back your stolen money bag, no matter what, you can score half of me." Look, I'm still very reasonable. ”

Lin Yuanzheng originally had a very good impression of the blonde man's behavior just now, but when he heard him say this, his good impression immediately dispersed. However, he still admires the blonde man's swordsmanship and reactions.

The drunk man burped: "It's okay to give it all to you, today you can see the mad swordsman sword unsheathed, this money is worth it." ”

The blonde man sat down beside the drunk man with a big grin and patted him on the shoulder: "How embarrassing is this, I know you're in a bad mood right now, brotherβ€”but you can't go back on what you said, all the friends here have heard it." ”

"What's there to regret about this, I said that all for you is for you." The drunk "grunted" and drank his wine.

"Well, in remembrance of this good deed, I invite all my friends here to drinkβ€”" The blonde man was very happy, but his smile froze in the middle of speaking, "What is this?" Hey, why are they all stones? You TM lied to me! ”

"Who lied to you?" The drunk burped and blinked, "I said the money bag was for you, but I didn't say it contained money." ”

"You're kidding me? I don't care, I'll do it for you anyway, and you'll have to pay me. Ask for silver! Of course, it would be better if you were willing to give gold. Everyone here is waiting for me to have a treat, right? Seeing that the drunkard's words could not be faulted, the blonde man had no choice but to play the scoundrel. As soon as the people in the tavern saw that they were also beneficial, they immediately began to respond loudly.

"Defend Laputa, you can save it." A dog's tail grass suddenly interjected coldly, "Do you know what Shandong Xiangma's real profession is?" Don't mess with your own purse strings. ”

"What profession, isn't it just a dragon shadow gunman?" The blonde man named "Defending Laputa" looked at the drunk's dress and blinked, but he still took a dog's tail grass seriously.

"I'm a thief." The drunken man replied angrily in front of a dog's tail grass.

"I'm afraid that the word 'thief' is not enough to tell others your true strength." A dog's tail grass said meaningfully, "When it comes to the ability to steal, you say second, and no one dares to say first in the entire Shouchun." ”

"Haha, you're exalting me too much, I'm just a rotten drunkard." Shandong Xiangma gulped down the wine, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Eh, eh, that's the end of what I just did." Defending Laputa had no choice but to admit it, "Just let me make you a friend." Hey, can't you be polite to your friends? Anyway, you'll have to treat me to a few bowls. ”

Being a thick-skinned person like this, not to mention Lin Yuanzheng, he can't even look at a dog's tail grass: "Defend Laputa, no matter how you say that you are also our top ten masters in Yangzhou, do you have the demeanor of a master?" ”

"Style? Can style be eaten as a meal? You just say that I am the fourth in Yangzhou, so that more people know that my reputation is very beneficial to my future business, and you will also publicize more for me when you have time, I am the fourth in Yangzhou. ”

Defending Laputa was speaking, when a burly man with a giant sword on his back walked over: "Business? Laputa, what business are you doing now? ”

Defending Laputa seems to be very familiar with the man with the national character face: "I have decided to make my competition ranking public, and if others want to, they can come and challenge me, of course, there is a fee for the challenge." What do you think? ”

The man named Xiaofeng shook his head: "I advise you to keep a low profile, Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy: open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend." Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

"No way, who told me that I've been short of money lately. Besides, the top three won't come to me. Anyone else, I don't care. "Defending Laputa is not impressed.

As he finished speaking, two strangely dressed men walked towards defending Laputa. One was fat and tall, with an iron chain crossed over his upper body, and a round iron ball covered with spikes was tied to one end of the chain; The other was very short, wearing a tall cowboy hat, a pair of high-heeled boots, and a whip in his hand, and the two stood comically together.

"Are you really the fourth in Yangzhou?" The short man in the boots asked.

"It's like a fake." Defend Laputa generously.

"My name is Arctic lemming, and this is my brother Antarctic grizzly bear. We're going to talk to you. The man in the boots showed his intentions.

"Okay, twenty taels of silver for one person, if the two of them go together, well, get a discount, sixty taels of silver."

"Won't you ask us about our rankings in the tournament?" The Arctic lemming asked.

"No, you just have to pay."

The Antarctic grizzly bear took out his money bag and counted sixty taels and put it down.

The jousting takes place outside the tavern. A few large lanterns were lit outside the tavern, and the outside was brightly lit.

The Antarctic grizzly bear untied the iron chain on his body, moved his hands and feet twice, and let out a loud shout, the big iron ball in his hand smashed like a meteor, and the defense Laputa flashed sideways, and the iron ball smashed a big hole in the ground.

"Not bad." Defend Laputa Zan.

Before the words fell, the whip in the Arctic lemming's hand was wrapped around like a snake, and the "snap" was whipped on the leg of the defender Laputa.

The two of them seem to train together a lot, and they work together very well, and as soon as the Antarctic grizzly bear's move passes, the Arctic lemmings immediately make up for his vacancy, as if they had already calculated it.

After a few moves, the defense of Laputa immediately fell to the downside, and was suppressed by the two of them, almost without even a chance to make a move, only to constantly dodge and block. The sword light and whip shadows were intertwined, and an iron chain sledgehammer in the middle was swung back and forth, and the surroundings were firmly shrouded in the wind. The onlookers continued to scatter around, and a curiosity was aroused: is this two people a powerful combination, or is Yangzhou fourth better?

The two sides came and went, and soon more than twenty tricks passed. In the midst of the fierce fight, the defender Laputa suddenly leaped high into the air and was whipped by the Arctic lemming. However, before it was over, the Antarctic lemming's whip seemed to have spirituality, and as soon as it touched his body, it immediately rolled up and wrapped around his waist; The polar grizzly bear immediately smashed it with a "meteor to catch the moon", and saw that it was impossible to avoid defending Laputa in the air.

"Drink!"

Defending Laputa let out a loud shout, and his left hand also drew a sword from behind his back to hit the big iron ball, and his body took advantage of the momentum to pounce on the Arctic lemming; His hands trembled, and in an instant, more than ten swords were stabbed in the air.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

No one could see how to defend Laputa, only to see the overlapping swords and shadows in the air, and the weapons in the hands of the Arctic lemmings and the Antarctic grizzly bear fell to the ground together.

"It's not bad, it's not bad. I almost lost without any real skills. It's a pity that this is not a turn-based game, and fast hands are king. Defending Laputa landed lightly, his two-handed sword in his back.

Everyone was eye-opening, this is the strength of the mad swordsman.

I'm going to be a mad swordsman too.

Lin Yuanzheng saw it, and a very strong thought surged in his heart.
