Chapter 3: Guests Come from Far Away
Nie Ming didn't stop, and soon passed through the first alley, and at this time, the cornices of the tavern had already appeared in his eyes, and even if it wasn't a meal, he could still smell the aroma wafting from the back kitchen.
Nie Ming nodded with satisfaction, turned around and stepped into the second alley, eating was naturally going through the main entrance, even if the alley in front was a little cluttered, it seemed to be due to the large number of boxes stacked on both sides.
Nie Ming is also very familiar with this box, it should be used for tea, and it is really inseparable from the influence of tea everywhere when he comes here! Nie Ming, who was thinking about it, did not stop his steps, and soon he entered the alley.
As soon as Nie Ming walked into the alley, a few steps later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at both ends of the alley, and he saw that two large carriages stopped at the same time in front and behind the alley, and the huge carriage directly blocked the not wide alley entrance.
In the next moment, more than a dozen thugs with knives and sticks came out of the many boxes, and they shouted loudly and approached Nie Ming.
Nie Ming didn't frown this time, he directly pulled out the coiled dragon halberd behind his back, this is not what it looks like, it is the broken array coiled dragon halberd that has been inherited by Black Rock City for hundreds of years, as a weapon halberd that shook the rivers and lakes hundreds of years ago, there is a mystery hidden in the body.
The subtlety of it lies in the fact that the long Broken Formation Halberd above the battle array can be divided into three parts, and Nie Ming carries the two ends of the head and tail, the head end is a sharp crescent-shaped blade, and the tail end is like a spear.
In the face of these rabble, Nie Ming didn't want to worry too much, he just pulled out the tail end of the long halberd and short spear behind him, he didn't have any deep hatred, and he wouldn't kill people at will.
The other party rushed to Nie Ming's face, and then stopped at the same time, Nie Ming held the weapon, so no one wanted to be a bird.
"Why aren't you afraid of us?" The leader of the thugs asked strangely.
"Why be afraid? You're just people who take people's money to help people out of trouble. The corners of Nie Ming's mouth raised a smile, "Now you have two choices, one is to go back and tell that person, come to me directly if you have something; The second option is to do it with me, but wait and die. ”
The thugs glanced at each other and took a step back.
But at this time, the little worker of the Lin family shouted loudly in the back: "This is Young Master Lin's opponent, you know the consequences of retreating without a fight." ”
His words made the thugs who were relenting stop and hesitantly grasped the weapons in their hands.
Nie Ming sighed, the guy who fights for the tiger seems to be everywhere, and it is really easy to use the tiger skin to make a banner, but unfortunately, he is a fierce dragon who crosses the river.
When they were still hesitating, Nie Ming took the initiative to move, his footwork was very peculiar, called Tongyou.
"Walking through the Quiet Walk" has a unique adjective in the rivers and lakes - walking like a ghost, not seeing the underworld.
The gangsters in front only felt that the wind was howling, and Nie Ming's figure in front of him disappeared directly!
In the next second, his figure had appeared directly above the leader of the gangsters, and his foot slammed on the long knife in the opponent's hand, and a huge force directly kicked the long knife out of his hand, and his figure disappeared again.
By the time he appeared the next time, the sharp spear tip had already been pointed at the neck of the Lin family's little worker, and the feeling of the thorn on his back made him tremble.
"My least favorite guy is the guy who fights for the tiger, unfortunately you're that kind of person, so you have to pay the price." Nie Ming's voice came from behind the thugs, causing them to turn their heads in unison.
Nie Ming's empty left palm, which moved with the voice, slapped the back of Xiao Gong's heart with great force, Xiao Gong's face changed, and the next moment he directly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then he fell straight down.
"Do you still want to fight now?" Nie Ming asked with a smile.
The thugs shook their heads in unison, then turned around and left, while retreating, they did not forget to take away the Lin family workers lying on the ground, and by the way, they also pushed away the carriages blocked at both ends of the alley.
Nie Ming nodded in satisfaction, he raised his hand and inserted the halberd back into the mechanism behind him, and walked out of the alley.
A few minutes later, he walked into Youxianju, the largest restaurant in town, and the aroma just now came from the back kitchen of Youxianju, because it was not a meal, so there were still a lot of empty seats.
Nie Ming found a seat with a good view and sat down, and directly ordered a few signature dishes, and soon several dishes with all colors and flavors appeared in front of him.
However, his attention was not on the top of the dish at this time, for while he was waiting for it to be served, he noticed a very soft young man sitting at the table beside him, who must have eaten his fill, and was now drinking.
Why is it attractive? Because he is very good-looking, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his face is like a crown of jade, his face is very white, white and scary, but this highlights his gorgeous makeup even more, and the bright red plum blossom in the center of his eyebrows is very eye-catching.
His collar was so high that it directly blocked his neck, so it was impossible to tell if he was male or female. He was dressed in red, red like blood, bright and terrifying.
The man didn't pay attention to Mu Yi's gaze, because most people would be attracted by his appearance, and it was normal to look at him for a while.
After a gust of wind blew through the restaurant, Nie Ming withdrew his gaze and began to eat his late lunch slowly, because in the wind he smelled a vague smell of medicine.
He had already guessed that the guy with such a bearing was definitely not a local businessman, and this medicinal fragrance verified his origin - the Yingchuan Chen family, and at the same time had a very strong terrifying family in the rivers and lakes and the court.
But this is not something he should worry about, let him have a headache when Su Fan is born.
By the time Nie Ming had eaten and left, the table in the restaurant was empty, and the man in red had already left silently, leaving a large piece of silver on his table.
After Nie Ming finished paying, he turned around and returned to the inn, standing on the edge of the thousand-acre lotus pond, he swallowed softly: "It seems that this town will welcome a lot of guests in the near future, but I don't know how many evil guests there will be." ”
······
On the evening of May 13, the gates of Gangneung City were slowly closing in the twilight, and at that moment a red shadow appeared from the end of the long street, and then rushed directly to the city gate, and the knight on horseback was a graceful young man in white, with a long sword hanging from his waist, the scabbard was made of shark skin, and there were five pearls on it.
At the moment when the gap between the gates was about to be unable to pass through the horses, the red shadow managed to burst out of the doorway, leaving a fiery red shadow.
Jiangling Shouzheng praised loudly: "Second Young Master Su is good at riding, but next time you go out, just say hello in advance, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
The man in white grabbed the reins and stopped not far from the gate, and he spoke: "Don't bother you, this time it's also temporary, I'll leave first." ”
"Second Young Master Su is polite, have a good trip." The city's keeper arched his hand and watched the other party go away.
The little official who closed the door walked behind the official, and he asked in a low voice, "Lord Shouzheng, will you let him go like this?" The above doesn't mean..."
"Idiot! Do you want to kill us all? Shouzheng hated the iron and did not make steel, and tapped the little official's head, "It's true that the person who ordered the matter was from the capital, but do you think about who Second Young Master Su is?" Who is his father? Who is his uncle? How dare you stop him? We're doing our duty when we close the door, and they can't blame us. ”
The little official suddenly realized: "I see, thank you for your advice." ”
"The old man is off work, you take care of the door, remember, no one in the city is allowed to go out without an official document, and no one outside the city is allowed to come in without an official document." Shouzheng sighed, "Compared with those officials, our lives are not worth much, and fulfilling our duties is the best choice." ”
"Okay, Lord Shouzheng, thank you for your advice." The young officer bowed to Shouzheng and turned to leave.
Shouzheng sighed and silently walked down the tower: "It's really eventful." ”
······
In the middle of the night, a crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed on the empty official road, and a red horse rushed into the distance with the cold sound of breaking wind.
The moon was already very round today, and the white moonlight was guiding the horses and knights in the direction of their progress, and the rider was planning to travel overnight.
But in the white moonlight, there seemed to be many creatures watching the hurried traveler, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they moved when the man in white appeared in view!
The man in white didn't show a surprised look when he saw this scene, he just silently pulled out the long sword at his waist: "You have been an official for two years, it seems that you haven't seen blood for a long time." ”
The man in white is surnamed Su Mingfan, the word Canghai, is the second son of the Su family in Jiangling, he also wandered on the rivers and lakes when he was young, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called blood sons.
In the past, the blood prince held a famous sword and drank blood to pick up the eighteen villages of Dongting alone, and then he also crawled in the red dust for three years, and made a lot of fame, but then he entered the officialdom for some reason, and there was no news of him after that.
Today, the blood-drinking sword is unsheathed again, and it is bound to see blood.
The first interceptors were four identical fellows, dressed exactly the same, looking exactly the same, even the horses under them and the blades in their hands.
"Lingnan Sikou? You're going to stop me? Su Fan raised the sword in his hand slightly.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, blood boy, you are really worth a lot, you don't need to kill you, you can get a hundred taels of gold for a few days if you are stopped." It was the great Kou Lindong of the Lingnan Sikou who spoke.
"I remember that the four of you haven't survived thirty moves in the hands of the Pingshi Sword, why did you come to challenge me today." Su Fan then spoke, directly pointing out the other party's troubles back then.
"Humph! That was only three years ago, and now we are not what we used to be, are we the weaklings of the past? Erkou Linxi directly pulled out the knife at his waist, "And your sword hasn't been unsheathed for two years, and I don't know if it's rusty." ”
"You can try it." The corners of Su Fan's mouth rose slightly, and the hand holding the reins shook suddenly, he actually took the initiative to make a move in the situation of one against four.
Lingnan Sikou didn't expect that the other party would choose to take the initiative to attack with more than one enemy, so they were stunned for a moment before they began to pat their horses forward, and at this time Su Fan's horse was already very close to them, two zhang, this is already the effective range of many hidden weapons.
"Do it!" I only heard Lin Dong roar, and the four Lingnan Kou all took out the iron rope hidden behind them, they swept the iron rope in the air, and then threw it forward!
Lingnan Sikou's face suddenly changed at the moment when the iron rope was struck, because Su Fan's horse suddenly stopped more than a zhang in front of them, which was far farther than the upper limit of the attack distance they had carefully practiced.
The next moment, Lin Fan slapped the horse's back, and the whole person flew up, only to see him take a step in the air, and the whole person shot towards Lin Dong in front of him like a sharp arrow.
At this time, Lin Dong's face just changed, because he seemed to remember something: "Be careful of his volley!" ”
But it was too late, he felt that someone patted him on the shoulder again, and he suddenly found that he had no strength, but he still turned his neck with difficulty, and when he turned around with difficulty, he found that the person who patted him on the shoulder was Su Fan! After filming him, he did a somersault and landed directly far away.
At this moment, the exclamations of his younger brothers were already ringing in his ears: "Big brother! ”
I saw that one after another blood flowers appeared on Lin Dong's chest, and then he slowly fell on the horse's back, and he no longer had any breath.
The remaining Lingnan Sankou waved the iron rope in his hand angrily, but Su Fan didn't give them a chance, and he immediately retreated after a successful blow, and retreated directly to a very far place.
The remaining three Kou glanced at each other, then turned over and dismounted at the same time, holding a sharp knife and pounced on Su Fan in front of him.
"Stupid." Su Fan raised his long sword and directly met the three people who were charging forward.
Suddenly, there was a few clangs of bowstrings in the distance, and three feathered arrows shot from a distance, directly through the back of Sankou's heart, and the three of them staggered out a few steps, and then they all fell to the ground.
Su Fan frowned, looked in the direction where the feather arrow was shot, and saw a rugged man in plain brocade clothes walking out under the bright moonlight, and there were several guys with bows and arrows behind him.
This person's brocade robe is connected in two sections, and the lower part is divided, and there are folds on both sides, and the flying fish is added.
"Flying fish suit, Jinyi Guard, you came quickly." Su Fan directly put the sword into the sheath, took out a bamboo tube with his backhand, and then pulled the lead below, and a ball of fire rose from the bamboo tube, and then exploded in the air.
"How can Second Young Master Su be so vigilant, he is in the lower Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and he has been ordered to come to Lingnan to suppress bandits." The big man laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
