Hearing that Meng Xunzhen allowed them to make a move, Yin Xiaoji and Guan Hai were both very excited, and they each took out their weapons and used light skills to sweep the chaotic crowd.
"Stop!" Guan Hai broke off before he started. Meng Xunzhen was very attentive to this apprentice, and even transferred the "Ice Spirit Gu" refined with thousand-year-old ice silkworms into his body. Guan Hai practiced the "Nine Yang True Scripture" of Zhiyang Zhigang, and was stimulated by the cold qi of the Spirit Gu, and the Jiuyang True Qi in his body was running on its own all the time, entering the realm several times that of others. He unconsciously used the Jiuyang True Qi that had already become a small success, and the slightly shrill children's voice turned into invisible sharp needles that pierced the ear drums of everyone in the field.
As everyone's ears buzzed, Guan Hai suddenly increased, and his body turned into light smoke and shuttled back and forth in the crowd. But when he saw the brilliance of the green steel sword in his hand flickering, he heard a series of "Oops! Jingling! Voice. Those black-clothed people only saw the figure in front of them flash, and they felt that their wrists were numb, and the weapons in their hands could no longer be held, and they fell to the ground with their hands.
"Good boy!" Meng Xunzhen swept the formation for the two little guys in the rear, and when he saw that the apprentice had taught him the "Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate" so skillful, he couldn't help but twist the three locks of ink hair glued under his chin, and smiled and praised lightly.
Yin Xiaoji's move was a little slower, she did not step forward to fight, but from a distance of about three zhang, she swam around the crowd of melees, and when her arm waved, a slender transparent soft cord flew out from the bottom of her sleeve like a snake, silently attacking those black-clothed people. She used the "Poisonous Dragon Whip Method" contained in the second volume of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", which not only had smart and ever-changing moves, but also strangely did not carry a trace of wind and strength when attacking. With the transparent silk rope twisted from the snow silk given to her by Meng Xunzhen, it is simply invisible under the cover of the night. Everyone often only saw her wave her arm a few zhang away, and a person next to her fell to the ground, but she hit the acupoint - originally with Yin Xiaoji's skill had not yet reached such a realm, but Meng Xunzhen tied a copper coin at the end of the soft silk rope. easily solved the problem of her lack of skills.
Seeing that things were not good, one of the men in black whistled and shouted a black sentence: "Ideas pierce hands,!" ”
The rest of the men in black dispersed in a hurry when they heard this, but before leaving, they invariably poisoned their companions who were made around them.
Guan Hai and Yin Xiaoji suddenly saw such a change, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and they were all stunned on the spot. By the time they could react, the men in black had fled without a trace. The two of them were at a loss, and turned their heads to look at Meng Xunzhen with blank eyes.
Meng Xunzhen shook his head and smiled. stepped forward and stretched out his finger and flicked them lightly on their foreheads, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that walking the rivers and lakes, it is not enough to only have high martial arts, but also learn to adapt to the situation." Now you understand? ”
Yin Xiaoji and Guan Hai covered their heads while the chickens nodded again and again like pecking rice.
When Meng Xunzhen was teaching the two little ones, the woman in the carriage walked over gracefully. He walked through the dozen or so corpses on the ground with different dead appearances without changing his face, and thanked the three of them, and his voice was as soft as a warbler's yellow bird: "You are helping you." Hu Xiaoxian of the slave family is here to thank you! ”
"Hu Xiaoxian?" Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Meng Xunzhen was a little surprised, and at the same time thought that this was an opportunity. At the moment, he used a means to capture and indulge, and waved his hand. said lightly: "I'm just waiting for the right time, this girl doesn't need to be polite." ”
After that, he led Yin Xiaoji and Guan Hai to turn around and leave, as if he didn't want to have any entanglement with the other party.
Hu Xiaoxian peeked at Meng Xunzhen. Although the man in front of the meeting is not confused, he is still a famous and elegant person, and his eyes are as clear as water, revealing the depth and wisdom of the world's people. She's not very old. But he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, read countless people, and then saw the two young boys and girls who were just great and mighty standing behind him obediently, and he knew in his heart that he must have met a master, and hurriedly caught up with a few steps and said respectfully: "Mr. go slowly, the slave family still has a reluctant request." ”
Meng Xunzhen stopped and turned back, still with a lukewarm look on his face: "Since it is a reluctant invitation, then there is no need to talk about it." ”
Seeing him with a cold face, Hu Xiaoxian became more anxious in his heart, and caught up a few steps forward again and asked, "Sir, are you going to Chang'an?" ”
Meng Xunzhen turned around and said, "This road is the road that leads to Chang'an, what does Miss Hu mean by this?" ”
Seeing that the other party was finally willing to talk to him, Hu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The slave family is also going to Chang'an, I wonder if I am lucky enough to go with Mr." ”
Meng Xunzhen shook his head and smiled: "You little girl is uneasy and kind, and you want our master and apprentice to be your bodyguard?" ”
Hu Xiaoxian didn't know what the other party wanted, and dealt cautiously: "Sir, such a master, the slave family does not dare to defile each other with yellow and white vulgar things, but the slave family can do a little bit of miscellaneous chores such as clothing, food, housing and transportation along the way." ”
"You girl can speak," Meng Xunzhen said with a smile, "First explain your grievances with those black-clothed people, and then I will consider whether to agree to your request." But don't fool me with any excuses like robbers robbing money and robbing sex, looking at their decisive methods before leaving, it is clear that they are all dead soldiers who have been raised by others. ”
Hu Xiaoxian groaned for a moment and replied: "Don't hide it, sir, the slave's father is named Hoover, and he opened a gambling house called 'Mingtangwo'. ”
Yin Xiaoji interjected on the side: "I heard that there is a difference between a 'Ming Tangzi' and a 'private nest' in casinos, the former is a public casino, and the latter is a private mansion as a casino. Your 'Mingtang Nest' combines the "Mingtang" of "Mingtangzi" and the "nest" of "Private Nest" into one, which seems to be very powerful! ”
Hu Xiaoxian was a little complacent, and said with a smile: "Sister Cheng praised, but 'Mingtangwo' is indeed one of the two largest gambling houses in Chang'an. ”
Meng Xunzhen frowned and said: "The interests involved in the casino are extremely huge, and your father and daughter can gain a foothold in Chang'an, in addition to their own financial resources and strength, there should be enough weight and powerful people behind them." Why, then, would anyone come looking for your trouble? ”
Hu Xiaoxian sighed: "Just because the person who came to find trouble is another gambling house with the same name as 'Mingtangwo', 'Luofu Gambling House'." Behind my family, of course, there is Yin Zuwen, the father of the Tang Emperor's favorite concubine Yin Defei, but behind the 'Liufu Gambling House' stands Li Yuanji, the prince of Qi of the Tang Emperor. Chi Shengchun, the owner of the 'Liufu Gambling Hall', has always wanted to dominate the gambling industry in Guanzhong, but because Yin Zuwen and Li Yuanji are both supporters of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, it is not good to tear his face. But since the death of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in Luoyang not long ago, the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who were originally one and most intimate, suddenly became delicate. This time, Chi Shengchun dared to attack the slave family, but he was afraid that it had nothing to do with this matter. ”
"You girl confesses." Meng Xunzhen seemed to be a little distressed and smiled bitterly, "I have caused such a big trouble to my body, but I regret listening to you say this." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Hu Xiaoxian heard the meaning of his words, and hurriedly thanked him under great joy. (To be continued......)
