Jianghu is a place where strength is respected, but also a place that is good at forgetting, where the weak will not be pitied, the twilight of heroes is equivalent to death, in the rivers and lakes where new people come out in large numbers, there is never a lack of legends left by the strong.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was surrounded by strong enemies, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it was still ruled by literati. Under the interpretation of the literati and writers, a false prosperity is revealed.

As the saying goes, every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers. Perhaps in order to cover up their cowardly nature, the scholars in the ivory tower were very yearning for the atmosphere of fighting swords and gentlemen in the six arts of the Tang Dynasty, so those storytellers adapted the words they heard from the reckless mouths of the rivers and lakes into scripts, and told them in wine shops and teahouses, winning a lot of business.

Luoyang, which extends in all directions, is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, where merchants from the south and north are gathered, as well as the people from the rivers and lakes who go south and north. Therefore, in Luoyang, wine shops and tea houses are even more prosperous.

Two years ago, a storyteller over half a hundred years old came to Luoyang City, who specialized in martial arts anecdotes and heroic legends. The colorful narration is coupled with a piece of iron teeth and copper teeth, and he is nicknamed Luoyang Li Tiezui.

This Li Tiezui is talking about today's martial arts figures, so not only those peddlers and pawns love to hear about it, but even some literati and ink writers, and young ladies from official eunuchs often come to listen to books.

In the Tongfu Inn in Luoyang City, Li Tiezui, who is known as Luoyang Tiezui, sits in front of the table of the Eight Immortals, a pot of West Lake Longjing brewed just right is bubbling with repeated fragrances, and there is also a handful of white paper and a piece of astonishing wood on the table of the Eight Immortals.

At ten o'clock at noon, there were already many men, women and children gathered in the Tongfu Inn, including well-dressed rich men, and also people from the rivers and lakes who were wearing short sleeves and showing their strong muscles.

I saw Li Tiezui, who was sitting behind the table of the Eight Immortals, picked up the teapot and took a sip of it, and opened the white paper fan with a 'swish'.

'Talking about the past and discussing the present' four vigorous and powerful characters jumped on the paper.

There was a 'pop' and a startling sound on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the Tongfu Inn was still noisy just now. Whether it was a literati or a peddler, they all quieted down.

I only heard Li Tiezui say in that unique deep voice: "Today, Li Tiezui will tell you about a hero on the rivers and lakes."

As soon as Li Tiezui's voice fell, a man who often came here to listen to books couldn't help but joke loudly: "Li Tiezui, don't sell Guanzi, today are you talking about the heroic deeds of Nan Murong or North Qiao Feng?" Well said, uncle has a reward! ”

Li Tiezhu, who was sitting behind the table of the Eight Immortals, smiled slightly, shaking the white paper fan with a look of bamboo in his chest, "Isn't this Master Dou?" You are a regular customer, and you often give rewards, which can be regarded as my Li Tiezui's food and clothing parents. What I am talking about today is neither Nan Murong nor North Qiao Feng! The prestige of this hero is not below Nan Murong and North Qiao Feng, or even worse, and his old man is a single sword to fight a great business! Speaking of which, this is more capable than Nan Murong, who was blessed by the shadow of his ancestors, and Bei Qiao Feng, who led tens of thousands of gangs to resist the Great Liao."

Not to mention the man surnamed Dou, even the literati and scholars in the inn and the pawns of the peddlers have come to be interested, all these years. The names of Nan Murong and North Qiao Feng are familiar. Unexpectedly, today's Li Tiezui, who is known as Luoyang Tiezui, seems to have more background than the previous two.

Seeing that success aroused everyone's interest, Li Tiezui smiled proudly. Brushing the gray goatee, he said slowly: "This heroic figure, presumably those merchants who come and go to the north all the year round have heard of it, and we are in the Central Plains, thousands of miles away from the Liao country in the north, so naturally I have never heard of the legend of his old man, he is the leader of the Black Flag Alliance, known as the Black Flag Sword God, Uncle Zhuo Bufan!" It is rumored that this Uncle Zhuo has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he has a profound cultivation, looks like he is in his early thirties, and his appearance is elegant and graceful. A four-foot long sword called 'Soul Eater' in his hand, and this 'Soul Eater Sword' stained with thousands of people's blood is a rare blade in a century. The four-foot black iron blade is inlaid in an ancient blue crystal, and the hair is broken, the jade is broken, and the gold is just a wave of the hand! ”

As soon as the words 'Black Flag Alliance' came out, many merchants in the Tongfu Inn who had been to the Northland couldn't help but gasp.

"Li Tiezui, Lao Tzu, I see that you simply changed your name to Li and bragged about getting a sword and dying the blood of thousands of people? So the Black Flag Alliance leader in your mouth, Zhuo Bufan, really killed a thousand people? What else is a rare blade in a century? Although Lao Tzu has little reading, he also knows that since ancient times, what can be called a divine blade is only that cadre Mo Xie and fish intestine Chixiao, but I have never heard of this 'Soul Devouring Sword'! Or is the blade inlaid in ancient azurite? Why don't you say gold and jade? The man surnamed Dou raised the bar.

In the seat, there is a person with spring in his eyes. The glamorous young woman who looked charming and made countless men unforgettable couldn't help but pout, and shouted in a coquettish voice, "Zhuo Bufan? The name is elegant, but Li Tiezui... Bei Qiao Feng of my beggar gang is a hero, he has made great contributions to the country and the people in the fight against the Liao State over the years, what ability does this little-known Black Flag Alliance leader Zhuo Bufan have compared with my beggar gang Bei Qiao Feng? ”

This is like a yellow warbler's crisp voice. Attracted everyone's attention, those self-proclaimed and graceful literati saw the beautiful young woman in the elegant seat, there was still half a cent of Sven appearance, even those well-dressed rich businessmen showed greedy eyes, Li Tiezui raised his head and looked in the direction of the elegant seat on the second floor, and quickly stood up and arched his hand, "It turned out that it was the beggar to help Mrs. Ma's deputy gang leader and wife come to the old man, it is really an honor to Mrs. Ma and listen to the old man's words, if you are the slightest bit biased, even if you smash my stall today, the old man will not complain."

When the name of the wife of the deputy gang leader of the beggar gang came out of Li Tiezui's mouth, whether it was a wealthy businessman with greedy eyes or a literati who suddenly lost his mind, he couldn't help but be stunned, the beggar gang was known as the largest gang in the world, with hundreds of thousands of disciples. Ma Dayuan, the deputy gang leader, can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and his status in the rivers and lakes is extraordinary. Who would dare to beat the idea of this beautiful and unforgettable young woman in front of him?

Kang Minmei's eyes were raised, and his bright red cherry mouth opened lightly, "Okay, today you can tell me about it, if this Black Flag Alliance leader Zhuo Bufan in your mouth is not as good as my beggar gang Beiqiao Feng, then don't blame me for not being affectionate with hundreds of thousands of beggar gang disciples."

Although this Kang Min is a woman, but as the wife of the deputy leader of the beggar gang, no one doubts what Kang Min said.

On the other hand, Li Tiezui smiled as if ignoring the other party's threat. Li sat down slowly, "A sword breaks through the city gate, and a thousand people are killed day and night." The Quartet returned to obedience, and the Black Flag Alliance outside the Saiwai. These four lines of poetry are about Uncle Zhuo, the leader of the Black Flag Alliance! Presumably, all of you here have heard of the traders who have traveled to and from the Northland, right? ”

As soon as the voice fell, inside the Tongfu Inn. Some business travelers who had been to Changbai Mountain to buy leather goods hurriedly responded and said: "This is true, it is said that this is handed down after Uncle Zhuo, the leader of the Black Flag Alliance, slaughtered the No. 1 Ring Horse Black Blind Fort outside Guangguan overnight three years ago."

"It's that in the past, when I got out of the pass, there were many loud horses, and when I met a little moral, I received filial piety and let it go, if it was a ruthless person, I might even have to take my life, but now outside the pass, except for the Black Flag Alliance family, there is no second ringing horse."

In the discussion of the three or five merchants, the other people in the Tongfu Inn couldn't help but be more interested in the Zhuo Bufan that Li Tiezui said.

And Kang Min, who was sitting in the elegant seat, looked disdainful, "To put it bluntly, isn't he also a ringing horse leader?" Li Tiezui, I beggar to help Bei Qiaofeng, that is a hero against the Liao State, you actually compare a ringing horse leader with my beggar gang Beiqiao Feng? If it's bad, you have to be careful of your stall."

Don't wait for Li Tiezui to speak. The merchants who had gone to the Northland spoke one after another.

"The Black Flag Alliance controls a radius of 500 miles from Changbai Mountain, which is rich and rivals the country's financial resources, and the beggar gang is estimated to be incomparable."

"Why are ginseng, deer antlers, and bear's paws so expensive today? Because the Black Flag Firm, which is under the Black Flag Alliance, has increased the price of everything tenfold, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country."

For a while, everyone in the Tongfu Inn couldn't help but suddenly realize.

Dou Ye even patted his thigh and shouted, "I said it! In recent years, not to mention ginseng, even ordinary fur has become a lot more expensive, it turns out that it is the ghost of the Black Flag Alliance."

Hearing these discussions, Kang Min's dark eyes turned, and he said disdainfully: "Li Tiezui, have you heard that these merchants who go south and north have a bad opinion of the strong buying and selling, and the horse head is not good, if you can't say three, four, five or six, you won't be able to keep your job today!" ”

Li Tiezui laughed. Pointing to the merchants with painful faces, he smiled and said, "The world is bustling for the name, and the world is bustling for profit, so I didn't say that I was listed just now." In the past, there were many horses outside the pass, if you met someone who did not preach morality, not only did you accept filial piety but also kill people and goods? With such a big risk, why do you still work hard to go out of the customs every year? Why doesn't the ranking say that since the Black Flag Alliance unified the green forest outside the Guanwai, as long as the merchants who purchase goods from the Black Flag Trading Bank will have a special person to escort them all the way? ”

Li Tiezui's point-to-point words couldn't help but make the faces of those merchants who thought they had earned much less than before.

'Bang' was shocked, and Li Tiezui ignored everyone's stunned. said bluntly, "One is about wealth, two is about potential, and three is about heroes, today Li Tiezui will talk about this hero's outstanding Uncle Zhuo!" ”

"Now that you already know the reason why the prices of ginseng, deer antler, and all kinds of fur have doubled in recent years, then the financial resources of the Black Flag Alliance naturally need not be said. Although the words rich rival the country, they are exaggerated, but they are not far apart. Next, let's talk about the 'potential' of the Black Flag Alliance. I think that this Zhuo Bufan Zhuo Uncle appeared at the foot of Changbai Mountain with one person and one sword, and the first battle was to pick a hundred ringing horses with a sword, among which there was also a famous one-eyed tiger with a famous ringing horse! Next, this Uncle Zhuo used his amazing swordsmanship to provoke all directions to subdue the plug! He has experienced hundreds of large and small battle arrays, and the most commendable is that he led 5,000 disciples of the Black Flag Alliance, ran hundreds of miles on a snowy night, and slaughtered the first ringing horse outside the Saiwai that year, known as the black blind man with 2,000 ringing horse thieves under his command. It is said that the battle was fought in the dark, and the snow near the Black Blind Fort, which covers an area of dozens of acres, was dyed red..."

In Li Tiezui's deep voice, everyone seemed to see the bloody rain produced by the collision of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. Such thrilling scenes, even if you imagine it, make people's blood boil.

"Now, the Black Flag Alliance has unified the green forest outside the pass, and in the cold and frozen land of Changbai Mountain, the Black Flag City has been built, and there are 50,000 people under its command and 50,000 ringing horses that come and go like the wind, which is like 50,000 fine horses! This kind of force, not to mention the officers and troops guarding the frontier of our Great Song Dynasty, even the Liao people who are like tigers and wolves must be afraid of three points, what about the power of the Black Flag Alliance? ”

As soon as he heard what Li Tiezui said, the Black Flag Alliance had 50,000 ringing horses that came and went like the wind, not to mention those peddlers, pawns, literati and inkmen, even the people from the rivers and lakes or Kang Min, the wife of the deputy leader of the beggar gang, all gasped.

"My obedient 50,000 elite horses come and go like the wind? With such power, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a foreign hero," the man surnamed Dou sighed loudly.

Over the years, the Song Dynasty has emphasized literature and light military force, and it is needless to say that the surrounding countries surrounded by strong enemies, since Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the remaining successors have adopted a defensive posture, which is needless to say for the reason of emphasizing literature and light military force, and the weakness of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty is also an important factor. And how powerful should the Black Flag Alliance, which has 50,000 elite horsemen under its command, be?

Seeing that everyone was shocked by what he said, Li Tiezui seemed to feel that this was not enough to determine, and then threw out a few dumbfounded news: "Wealth and power are not much better than the beggar gang or the Murong family of Nagusu, right?" So let's talk about this Uncle Zhuo's martial arts! Have you ever heard of the rumors of the three sects of the Dali Boundless Sword Sect fighting swords? ”

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it, the Infinite Sword Sect is one of the best sects in Dali! I heard that this immeasurable sword school swordsmanship is very good, and there are people with excellent swordsmanship all over the door," the man surnamed Dou should be harmonious.

The man surnamed Dou glanced at him, Li Tiezui shook his head and said that the Infinite Sword Sect came, "This Infinite Sword Sect is one of the best sects in Dali except for the Duan Tianlong Temple in Dali, but this Infinite Sword Sect is divided into three, and every five years it will compete in martial arts and sword fights to determine the winner, and then you can occupy the Holy Land of the Infinite Sect and live in the Sword Lake Palace!" Beizong was defeated because of the sword fight, and moved out of Dali forty years ago, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise and escaped! ”

"Do you remember a bizarre headless case in the martial arts two years ago? At that time, the Dongzong of the Wuliang Sword Sect, which occupied the Wuliang Mountain Sword Lake Palace, was full of four or five hundred people, and the corpses were all over the field overnight, some people said that it was done by the Tianlong Temple in Dali, and some people said that it was the hand of Shennong, who had formed a Liangzi with Zuo Zimu, the head of the Dongzong of the Wuliang Sword Sect! But in reality? The Eastern Sect of the Infinite Sword Sect went up to the head of the sect, Zuo Zi Mu, down to hundreds of disciples, and when they died, they all left several identical sword marks on their bodies! ”

"This can't be the handiwork of that Zhuo Bufan Uncle Zhuo, right?" The man surnamed Dou shouted in horror.

"That's right! That Black Flag Alliance Leader Uncle Zhuo is the strongest swordsman in the world, and it is rumored that this Uncle Zhuo can phantom a hundred shadows with one sword! Therefore, the old decay deduced that the headless public case of the Dali Boundless Sword Sect's Eastern Sect that was wiped out must have been the handiwork of this Uncle Zhuo!! ”

As soon as Li Tiezui's voice fell, the entire Tongfu Inn fell into a quiet that could be heard by needles falling, one person and one sword can kill a sect cleanly, although this kind of behavior can be called evil, but if this little-known Black Flag Alliance Lord Zhuo Bufan really has such a ability, then how strong should his martial arts be? Those third-rate martial artists in the Tongfu Inn couldn't help but gasp.

As Ma Dayuan's wife, although Kang Min doesn't know martial arts, he can be regarded as half a person in the rivers and lakes, and he also knows how strong his martial arts will be if he can slaughter a sect of people by himself. Although what Li Tiezui said seems to be reasonable, Kang Min has long had feelings for Qiao Feng, who had a relationship with him. Xiumei frowned, Kang Min drank, "Li Tiezui, I will believe you today, my beggar gang is all over the world, it won't take a moment or three to investigate the authenticity, if what you say today is false, then be careful of your stall"

Looking at Li Tiezui's appearance of spitting and scolding Fang Xuan on the stage, Lu Renjia, who was sitting next to the window in the Tongfu Inn, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled secretly in his heart, "I didn't expect Mei Niang to use this method to advertise for me, it is estimated that this Li Tiezui has received a lot of benefits" Lu Renjia could naturally see that what Li Tiezui said was colorful, and although the man surnamed Dou in the audience kept gagging, he seduced everyone's curiosity.
