The sun in early summer is not so hot, especially on the shore, the Jiangnan warbler flies and the grass grows, and there is green everywhere, sitting in the shade of the trees, drinking herbal tea, it is very pleasant.

Feng Xiao Lin Cheng and more than a dozen of them sat at the table, the tea shop was not big, just a small bamboo shed, two tables inside, four stone slabs outside, and the stool was a stone table.

This place is close to the closed mountain, and everyone is working hard, seeing that they are about to get home, everyone is relaxed, a few men laughed, began to whisper, and then became loud.

The two porters sat on one side, the tea bowl was placed on the side, and the steamed buns were in their hands, and they devoured the pickles they brought at home, and they ate deliciously.

A blind Taoist priest came with a wooden stick, a blanket on his shoulder, and a fortune-telling signboard in his hand.

Feeling that the voice was quite loud, the Taoist priest knocked on the ground and came over, intending to make a business, and someone joked with him, and the Taoist priest was not angry, and ridiculed him along with his words.

The boss happily watched the excitement on the side, and gave a bowl of tea to the blind Taoist priest, who took out a piece of dry cake from the blanket, took a bite of the cake, and drank a sip of water.

Feng Xiao saw that he was almost rested, and a big man came from outside, this big man had a dark face, and he took a big step to carry a burden with a knife, and he walked with a tiger.

Arrived at the door of the tea shop, Dahan hesitated to ask the boss for a bowl of tea, the boss listened to his accent is not a local, so he asked where he came from, Dahan did not hide it, said that it was from the north, to the front of Dingyang to take office, the boss did not believe it, Dahan smiled and untied the baggage, revealing the chain mail and official clothes inside.

The big man seemed to be thirsty, so he sat down and drank three bowls of tea, scolding the weather as if no one was around.

As soon as the big man sat down, the men around him were much quieter, and the big man saw that no one paid attention to him, and he was not angry, but still scolded loudly.

The big man was scolding, and three more men came over on the road, these three men were carrying burdens, like porters, but the three men had a long knife hanging on their waists, Lin Chengchong glanced at his subordinates, and his subordinates quietly touched the handle of the knife on the side of their legs.

The three men rested in the shade of the tree opposite the tea shop, came over to ask for a bowl of tea, and then sat on the side and drank tea silently.

The soldier glanced at the three of them, and asked them where the salt was to be sent.

The three men glanced at him vigilantly, these three men were obviously smuggling salt, since the salt tax reform, there were a lot fewer smuggling salt dealers, but in the boundary of She and Shanli, there are still many salt dealers, most of these salt dealers are no longer smuggler salt dealers, but the people here still habitually call them smuggler salt.

The smuggler glanced at the big man vigilantly, and the big man suddenly became angry and yelled over, wanting to check the three people's road guides, and the three men swallowed their anger and showed the road guides to him.

After reading the road guide, the military man scolded and threw the note back, and the three men dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the atmosphere of the tea shop immediately dropped to the freezing point and became very embarrassing.

Seeing this, Feng Xiao beckoned the big guy to go on the road, the military man didn't move, he still scolded and scolded, and the two porters also finished eating, got up and took the pick and left.

As soon as Feng Xiao and they left, most of the tea shop was immediately empty, the blind Taoist priest also left, and the three smuggler salt dealers picked up the burden and left, and in a blink of an eye, the lively tea shop became empty, and there was only one soldier left outside the tea shop who was still scolding.

The boss was not disgusted, but he didn't dare to offend, so he could only shake his sleeves and turn around and enter the house.

There are two tables in the room, only one table is occupied, two scholars who are on a study tour are drinking tea in silence, the two scholars have been sitting for a long time, the boss has asked them, they are the scholars of Wuxian Lihu Academy, and they are here to study in Xiaohan Mountain.

Xiaohan Mountain is the largest mountain in Wu County, in the southwest of Wu County, known as a famous mountain resort of Taoism, and it is also the most prestigious martial arts sect in Jiangnan martial arts, and its disciples are all over the Jiangnan faction.

In addition to the bookcase, there is also a long sword in the scholar's luggage, which is thin and slender, and it is very beautiful.

The two of them didn't speak, looking at the military men outside, their expressions showing disdain.

The military man sat down for a while, dropped a few copper plates, still hung his burden on the scabbard, threw a big stride, and walked away.

didn't go far, the military man caught up with the porter and Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao and his party were not empty-handed, with a lot of goods purchased in Wu County, including grain, cloth, salt, etc., not very fast.

Three smugglers and two porters followed behind with their burdens, and when they saw the soldier striding over, the smuggler hurried to the side and made way for him.

Seeing Feng Xiao and them, the military man laughed heartily, Feng Xiao Lin Cheng was helpless, he could only respond, but his expression was like swallowing a fly.

The military man didn't seem to see it, and walked with Feng Xiao and them triumphantly, and heard his boastful voice along the way.

The weather is hot, walk out three or four miles, pass by a melon field, two women are selling melons there, green watermelons, very tempting.

Feng Xiao was very impatient with the military man, so he simply stopped and beckoned everyone to eat melons, but the military man glanced at the watermelon and left directly without paying attention to it.

The porter and the smuggler also stopped in tacit agreement and watched the soldier stride past.

Not long after, the two scholars also arrived, and when they saw the watermelons, the scholars were pleasantly surprised, and asked for two big watermelons for the woman to open for them, and they didn't feel too much.

The woman who sells melons is a mother and daughter, the two mothers and daughters skillfully select watermelons, the young woman lifts the watermelon knife, and cuts the watermelon with a knife, and the juice flies sideways, which makes people have a great appetite.

The group was all eating and hanging, and the two women sold so many melons at once, looking happy and smiling.

"Down! down!"

The young woman suddenly laughed and shouted, the scholar who was gobbling up looked at them inexplicably, and when she looked back, Feng Xiao and the others had fallen to the ground, and the smuggler and porter were also crumbling.

The scholar was shocked, reached out to grab the sword, but his body went weak and fell to the ground.

But all are sane and sane.

"You, you," Feng Xiao regretted, before coming back, Liu Han also came to remind him to pay attention to the dangers on the road, but unfortunately he didn't take it to heart, if he was still a little vigilant in the tea shop, in this watermelon stall, there was no vigilance.

"Are we the ones who want your life?" said the older woman with a smile, lifting the watermelon knife and walking towards Feng Xiao, while the younger woman walked towards the smuggler.

"Can you make me an enlightened ghost, who sent you?" Feng Xiao asked in despair.

"Okay, let me tell you, it's Lord Tiger Benwei Liu Hanliu. The older woman looked at him with a smile, Lin Cheng was extremely angry, struggling hard, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he was in, his whole body was sore, and his internal breath was completely out of control.

"Lie to me at this point. Feng Xiao didn't believe it at all, he met Liu Han twice, and Liu Han left an excellent impression on him, unlike people who did this kind of thing.

"What are you lying about, we are internal guards. The older woman was still smiling, and the young girl said impatiently: "What are you doing with so much nonsense, hurry up." ”

As she spoke, the young girl walked up to the smuggler and slashed it with a knife, seeing that the blade was about to fall on the smuggler, the smuggler's body suddenly moved a few feet flat.

The young girl was startled, the salt dealer turned over, and the smuggled salt dealer led by him came to Feng Xiao in a flash, and waved his knife to block the old woman's knife.

The two women took two steps back, looked at the smuggler with a horizontal knife, and looked awe-inspiring: "You guys didn't get hit." ”

"Just Furong wants to numb us when she is drunk, that's delusion," the man at the head looked indifferent: "Say, who sent you here? Assassinate the Lord of Fengshan, provoke the She people to rebel, and cause trouble in Wu County, damn it!"

"Didn't I tell you, Lord Liu Hanliu sent us, hmph, the internal guard is handling the case, how many heads do you dare to interfere!"

"At this time, don't forget to frame Lord Liu, hmph, when I capture you and hand you over to Lord Liu, you can still be so hard-mouthed!" the smuggler led by the smuggler sneered.

The young woman was impatient, she didn't want to talk nonsense at all, and swung her knife straight at the two smugglers, her cultivation was not weak, and the two smugglers joined forces to stop it.

The smuggler led by the smuggler was also forced to retreat, and the older woman was fierce with a knife, not at all like a woman, but more iron-blooded than a man, fighting for his life.

Feng Xiao was shocked, and suddenly felt that there were raindrops falling on his face, and then he saw that Lin Cheng's face and clothes were also a little red.

The smuggler is wounded!

The hope that Feng Xiao had just risen sank down in the blink of an eye, and with three enemies and two, he was still at a disadvantage, and the smuggler led by the smuggler was actually injured.

The smuggler at the head of the smuggler had a solemn face, but the older woman smiled coquettishly.

The offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed, the older woman was aggressive, and the head of the smuggler was afraid of sealing them, so he didn't dare to retreat, and every move was exchanged for life.

"When, when, when!"

More than a dozen continuous blade strikes, the wheezing sound of the smuggler was clearly audible, and the last long roar, the two figures separated, the smuggler gasped violently, and blood broke out in five or six places on his body at the same time, quickly staining his clothes red.

The older woman took advantage of the strength of the blade to fight, and her body flew upside down, and the long knife in her hand slashed at the porter.

This knife is very decisive, the knife is more aggressive, but the strength is more restrained, even better than when dealing with the smuggler of salt.

The smuggler held the long knife on the stab, gasping violently, dumbfounded, the woman had not exerted her full strength in the fierce battle just now.

"Dang!"

With a long metallic intersection, the older woman flew upside down, her body slightly adjusted in mid-air, and swayed slightly after landing.

The two porters slowly stood up, the one on the left holding a long knife in one hand and a swarthy pole in the other, which had been drawn from it.

"When did the Tiger group become so weak. The left-hand man sneered.

The smuggler led by the smuggler breathed a sigh of relief and asked unhappily: "Who is Your Excellency?"

"We are colleagues, but you don't know me, but I know you. The left porter spoke in a flat tone, and after he finished speaking, the left porter shouted at the side again: "The picture is poor, I have walked all the way, everyone is tired, the matter should be over, let's show up." ”

Duh, duh, duh.

A few familiar voices came, and from behind the tree came a blind old man, who was holding a long pathfinder pole, with a blanket on his shoulders and a signboard in his left hand.

"The internal guard really lives up to its reputation, and even the old Tao has noticed it. ”

The porter snorted coldly, his eyes still fixed on the grass to his right.

With a long laugh, a figure flew out of the grass, and after landing, it was actually the owner of the tea shop, who was still smiling and sticking out his thumb to the porter.

"The cultivation is good, it's time to step into the high-grade martial arts, in another ten or eight years, you can see that threshold, it's a pity!"

The porter's expression was calm, but his solemn eyes betrayed him, and the strength of the enemy exceeded his expectations, or rather, more than the adults expected.

Adults were wrong!

The young woman and the smuggler also stopped, and she surrounded them with the older woman, the blind Taoist priest, and the owner of the tea shop.

Nirvana!
