Chapter 51: The Short Knife Walk

At night, in the river, in the painting boat, there is an oil lamp lit in the painting boat. Let the painting boat look as beautiful as fireflies in the dark river. Inside the painting boat, Shen Yumen, the leader of the martial arts alliance, was lying on the bamboo bed. A beautiful woman was lying on his chest. The beauty looks like a spring heart, and from time to time she teases Shen Yumen. Occasionally, by the silent river, there were a few beautiful laughter in the painting boat.

Just when the painting boat floated down the river, the laughter also stopped temporarily. Several figures descended from the sky, holding oil umbrellas in their hands. Slowly drifting towards the painting boat. (Here I would like to ask the director of the show, did these people fly to the sky?) What brand of oil umbrella comes from? )

Four people fell from the sky, and each threw an iron hook at the four corners of the painting boat. As soon as the iron hook hooked the four corners of the painting boat, the four of them screamed. One by one, they fell into the river. But it was Shen Yumen who had already been inside the painting boat, listening to the sound and distinguishing the position. Killed with a hidden weapon.

And the riverside, which was originally silent and uninhabited, suddenly there were many people. The boat in the middle of the river also made a noise, and it was hooked and the rope was pulled out of the water. Hovered in mid-air. More than two dozen wooden canisters like fireworks also appeared by the river, aiming at the hovering painting boat. More than two dozen large fireworks were suddenly ignited and launched together, although the power was not too great. But it's enough to blow up a bamboo painting boat. More than 20 fireworks, plus a burning painting boat. Blooming in the heart of the dark river, but with a beauty as blood.

After burning for a while, the boats finally fell apart. At this time, three men and one woman walked out of the river. And all four of them are the owners of Tsing Yi Building. Several people looked at the vanished painting boat, and they all had smiles on their faces. But it didn't take long for him to be complacent, and a sword aura crossed the river. Shen Yumen's figure also appeared, and there were two loud bangs in a row, and the river was slashed by the sword qi and gushed up. Bumped into more than 20 people lying in ambush on both sides of the river, holding large fireworks in their hands. These people all wailed for a while, and then fell to the ground, obviously injured by the sword qi. whereas

As soon as the four landlords saw this situation, one of the landlords immediately drew his sword, raised his breath, stepped on the river, and rushed towards Shen Yumen.

The owner of this building stepped on the river water, and faced Shen Yumen with a knife in his chest. Shen Yumen also looked cold, he didn't dodge it, and he also passed with a knife. The two knives were in close contact in an instant, and the landlord was smashed open by Shen Yumen with one sword. The figure also took two steps back, but because it was in the middle of the river. Just take care of the work under your feet and keep yourself from falling into the water. caused his chest to be exposed for a while.

Shen Yumen didn't even look at it, as if he had expected it. The backhand is another knife, and the knife qi is in the air. slashed the landlord so that his body flew back against the water, if it weren't for the fact that the landlord still had some strength. I'm afraid this knife can kill him.

Shen Yumen stepped on the river at this moment, stepping on the river and coming to the shore. As soon as his footsteps stepped on the shore, the rouge sword in his hand was waved. A few knives and knives solved all the remaining minions by the river. However, a burst of blood suddenly spurted out of his chest.

Seeing this, the other three landlords immediately killed Shen Yumen. He was not given the slightest chance to heal. One of the landlords, who was holding a strange long weapon, yelled even more. Take the lead and fly over. Relying on his own strength again, Shen Yumen was injured again. The strange long soldier in his hand shook and crossed a semicircle. The head of the brain smashed into Shen Yumen's head.

Shen Yumen broke through ten thousand laws with one sword, and the rouge treasure knife was like a meteor that cut through the sky. A single slash slashed at the weak point of the strange long soldier. Not only did he swing away this strange long soldier with a single sword, but his internal strength was immediately transmitted to the landlord. The landlord was shaken backwards, and he didn't stop until he hit a big tree by the river, but he also pressed one hand to his chest. The inner abdomen has been shocked out of a small injury, and for a while, he can only suppress the shock of the inner abdomen.

Shen Yumen had just killed one, and with a "whoosh", a nine-section whip came to him again. He could only swing his sword again. The soft weapon of the nine-section whip should have been weak, but it was under the touch of Shen Yumen's long knife. was also shocked by his internal force, but the landlord holding this whip saw the opportunity quickly. As soon as the whip was knocked away, it immediately jumped back. On the contrary, there was nothing at all.

And Shen Yumen couldn't chase down the landlord of the Tsing Yi Building who had lost the long whip in his hand, and another glamorous landlord in red clothes had already thrown out more than a dozen hidden weapons and flew towards him. Shen Yumen deserved to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the long knife was waved continuously, preventing himself from splashing water. More than a dozen hidden weapons that were shooting at each other stopped one by one.

However, the glamorous landlord of this Tsing Yi Building waved the cloak behind him again. Her hands also waved repeatedly, and more than a dozen hidden weapons flew out of her cloak and sleeves. And Shen Yumen swept the rouge treasure knife horizontally, and a knife wind swept over. The sword wind was like a wall, bounced back all the hidden weapons.

The owner of the beautiful building saw that the dark weapon was reflected back, and the speed was three points faster than the one he launched. I didn't dare to take it hard, so I could only dodge it one by one. And Shen Yumen took a few tricks from the owners of the Tsing Yi Building one after another, and the wound on his chest gushed out a stream of blood again. You can only step on it and jump lightly. Disappear into the night.

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been the favorite place of literati, and in recent years, even martial arts people have liked to come to Yangzhou. Because Yangzhou opened a family ten years ago. This Yipinju, not only the food is a product, the girls in it are a product, and the gambling is also a product, anyway, everything you can think of is a product for eating, drinking and playing. As long as you get inside, you don't spend all the money, and you are definitely not willing to give it out.

Speaking of this Yipinju, literati and people in the rivers and lakes are definitely two evaluations. Literati generally say that this is an elegant place. People in the martial arts generally use one word to describe "cool". Why are the evaluations on both sides so strange?

Because there are two gates in Yipinju, one is dedicated to literati and scholars. The girls in it are all mainly entertainers, and you can't get in if you have money. There's not much ink in your stomach, and you don't even want to enter the door. And on the other side, it's just the opposite, no matter how good your writing is. If you don't have money, you don't want to come in, and if you want to go in, you must pay a hundred taels of silver. Moreover, this money is still compulsory and can neither be refunded nor spent. However, you will be given a brand, and you will not need to pay for it if you enter it later. But unless you are a well-known person, you don't recognize people.

However, this Yipinju is both a restaurant and a green building, and it also operates a casino. There will definitely be people who will be red-eyed, and there will definitely be people who will make trouble. The literati and scholars still pay more or less attention to the gentleman's mouth but not his hands. And most of the martial arts hawkers are the ones who copy the knife if they don't agree with each other. And Yipinju can still be thriving, and there is a lot going on here.

Speaking of the origin of this Yipinju, it is also quite legendary. According to rumors, 25 years ago, Yipinju was originally just a small roadside shop. The small shop is run by a middle-aged couple, who are nearly 40 years old and still have no children. Until one night, when the couple was closing, they found a flower basket in the corner of their shop, and in the flower basket there was a sleeping baby wrapped in rags. The couple was both surprised and delighted, and after discussing it all night, they decided to adopt the baby.

Five years later, Yipinju relied on the novelty of the cuisine. Slowly grow and develop. Ten years later, Yipinju is already the best restaurant in Yangzhou. And when he started to make money from Yipinju and made everyone's eyes. The prefect of Yangzhou received a heavy gift from Yipinju Sancheng Cadre Shares, and the Iron Knife Gang, the largest gang in Yangzhou at that time, also received a three-layer cadre share from Yipinju. From that day on, no matter whether it was black or white, he didn't dare to come to the door to make trouble again. Yipinju also began to make money steadily.

Fifteen years later, the leader of the Iron Knife Gang was in a meeting with the gang elders when he was killed by a masked man in black. The elders of the gang are nowhere to be found. The gang that has dominated Yangzhou for more than 20 years immediately fell apart. Several other second-rate gangs were also pushed by the crowd, and they went to the door one by one. However, when they arrived at the headquarters, they found that the savings of the Iron Knife Gang for many years had long since disappeared.

And the second-rate gang, which worked hard to attack the Iron Knife Gang but didn't get much benefit in the end, was not reconciled. I hit the idea on the many merchants who paid protection money to the Iron Knife Gang before. The first to bear the brunt is Yipinju.

Just when several second-rate gangs blocked the door together, asking Yipinju to hand over the three-layer dry shares to them. A fifteen-year-old boy came forward to negotiate with several gangs, and not long after the talks, the gangs left first. Go back and discuss the distribution of benefits. Unexpectedly, when the bosses of several gangs were discussing that night, they were all attacked and killed by a man in black. For a while, Yangzhou was chaotic again.

It wasn't until half a year later that the patriarchs of the Iron Knife Gang and the backbone of several other second-rate gangs formed a new gang. began to rise, and three months later, it integrated all the forces of Yangzhou, large and small. And the name of this gang is called Di Tingge. Since then, he has no longer participated in the fights and killings in the rivers and lakes, and has switched to buying and selling intelligence. However, the strange thing is that the pavilion master of the Diting Pavilion never shows up, even when the elder of the Diting Pavilion sees his pavilion master, the pavilion master is wearing a mask.

Yangzhou's power has also been dominant since then, although Di Tingge no longer participates in the killing of rivers and lakes, but if you think it's easy to bully. That's wrong. Di Tingge just doesn't cause trouble, it's not that he's afraid of things. When the Diting Pavilion was first established, the people on the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi, the enemy of Wulin, killed a member of the Diting Pavilion for no reason. The next day, the owner of the building, along with all his men, was slaughtered. After hearing the news, Chen Shiyuan, the owner of the main building, rushed to Yangzhou in person, wanting to slaughter the Diting Pavilion in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he was robbed and killed by the man in black halfway, although he repelled the enemy. But he also came back injured. This is not the case. And from then on, no one dared to mess with the pavilion on the rivers and lakes. And Yipinju has also grown since that day.

Eighteen years later, the young owner of Yipinju went to Beijing to take the exam. With a master-level calligraphy, he won the top spot in one fell swoop in the Jinluan Palace, and was the champion in high school. He became the youngest champion of this dynasty. But three months later, Zhuang Yuanlang's father fell seriously ill, and Zhuang Yuanlang immediately hung up his seal and left. Go home and take care of my father. When the pilgrimage did not blame too much, but praised the filial piety of the champion. However, there was news from the palace that the saint was originally going to chase the champion back for questioning. Because Princess Ling Jing, the most favored by the Holy Lord, also disappeared that day, leaving only a letter. If the queen hadn't arrived in time to persuade the saint who was already furious. Maybe Champion Yuan Lang is now squatting in the prison. However, it is reported that the pair of calligraphy that the saint can't put down on weekdays was torn to shreds, and that calligraphy happened to be written by the champion during the palace examination.

After Zhuang Yuanlang returned to Yangzhou, Yipinju became famous all over the world because of Zhuangyuanlang. Scholars from all over the country began to call Yipinju the champion building. And Zhuang Yuanlang's old father also died of illness a year and a half later, but he died with a smile. Because he has no regrets, his daughter-in-law just gave birth to a big fat grandson to their old Chen family last month. Unfortunately, half a year later, his mother also missed her deceased husband and passed away. Zhuang Yuanlang lost his parents in a year, so he could only build a thatched hut in front of the grave of his adoptive parents and began to observe filial piety for three years. To show filial piety.
