Chapter 234: Birthday Greetings

"The knife is a good knife, let's give you a name, the cauliflower has 10,000 people to behead, you can call it Qinglong." I stroked the blade of the knife and said to myself.

As I spoke, I put the knife back into its scabbard, and then drew it, and so on and so on, and so on, and

There is a reason why I chose the katana, if you talk about swordsmanship and moves, ten of them will not be able to catch up with the Golden Taipo, and what I have to do is to fight the momentum and fight to break the enemy with one sword.

The samurai sword is the most powerful among the hundred soldiers, from drawing the sword to the first knife being chopped.

If you can draw the knife and use the earth-shattering momentum to deter the opponent, it is undoubtedly a good choice, what I have to do is to practice the knife drawing and splitting the knife, often the duel between the masters, what I care about is to take the first shot, and surrender without a fight.

Practicing drawing the sword was my first move against the Golden Taipo, and after practicing it more than a thousand times, until my arm was numb, I was able to pull out the green dragon slash with the fastest speed and the most vigorous knife momentum.

"Buzz!" I was highly concentrated, my heart and hand were united, and the green dragon slash came out in response, making a violent screaming dragon roar.

The blade trembled, the green light was sheng, and it seemed that he was eager to drink blood, and the knife move was not out, and the momentum was already magnificent.

Yes, it was a little far from what I expected, but it was some progress, and I stroked the blade of the knife, then put it in the sheath, and then went back to the house to rest.

After all, I am still a mortal, and I need enough sleep, so that I can maintain a high level of mental concentration, so that I can burst out with stronger potential and momentum.

The next day, I began to practice the chopping knife, and without any tricks, I slashed down from the top down, holding the knife in both hands.

The knife moves are not numerous but refined, caring about strength, no matter what moves, it is nothing more than gathering qi to split and slash, and what I practice is the simplest chopping move.

In the next few days, except for sleep, the rest of the time I spent all my time practicing knife drawing and splitting, and the fastest speed was able to complete the whole action of drawing and splitting the knife in 0.8 seconds.

However, the power is still not enough, every time the ground is split, only less than two feet of the pit, this power is not enough to defeat the Jin Taibao.

On the seventh day, inside the house.

I took a deep breath, the gloomy weather made me feel a little uneasy, tonight is the day of my battle to the death with the Golden Taibao, to say that there is no pressure is false.

"If you don't succeed, you will lose." I bit it, snorted coldly, and moved my wrist, boom! The green light flashed, and a cyclone green dragon slammed into the ground vividly.

Bang! A large crater more than two meters long and one meter deep suddenly appeared.

"Bang Bang!"

"Good knife technique, this knife is really domineering, unstoppable."

I put away the knife and looked, Ma Tiexin and Xiang Yumeng clapped their palms and walked into the house.

"Well, let's arrange things for the evening." I asked.

"Slut, don't worry, Jin Taibao won't dare not come tonight, as for whether he should fight or not at that time, it depends on your ability." Xiang Yumeng smiled.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I sneered: "Don't worry, if the Jin Taibao can refuse my challenge in front of so many people, he will not be the Jin Taibao." ”

"Where's the cauliflower?" I asked.

"At the birthday banquet in the evening, the cauliflower brothers couldn't go, because the Jin Taibao knew him, and as soon as he appeared, he was broken by the Jin Taibao and fell out in front of Li Kui, and it didn't look good on both sides." Xiang Yumeng said.

"Okay, then let's go." I nodded.

It's been seven days, this is the first time I've walked out of the courtyard, the gongs and drums in the whole city are shaking the sky, Yin Si is a feudal system, and officials like to pay attention to pomp, especially wedding banquets like birthday banquets.

Although Li Kui was a rough man, he had been in Yin Si for hundreds of years, and under the instigation of the merchants and other officials in the city, he gradually accepted this kind of happy scene.

Of course, this has something to do with his personal habits, this guy has always liked to be lively, and the more noisy he is, the happier he is, and he can't wait for the whole city to come and drink with him.

At the same time as the gongs and drums were noisy, lanterns were hung up in every house in the city, and the whole city became red.

"Why, no one is guarding the city today?" I asked.

Looking around, the patrols that used to be scattered in the city have disappeared, and the other guards in Nangou City have disappeared except for the sentry posts by the city wall.

"Hey, the city lord's birthday, the rich and powerful have gone to drink, and the soldiers have also gone back to the camp to drink. This Li Kui is really righteous, but all the soldiers and civilians in the city, everyone has given wine and meat, it can really be said that wine and meat are shared, fortunately I have enough wine this time, otherwise it is really not good enough. Xiang Yumeng smiled.

"This Hei Li Kui is really doing a good job, although this person is rough, but he is really righteous and straightforward, and he is a real man." Ma Tiexin nodded.

I looked at the hazy sky and didn't speak, Li Kui was indeed righteous enough, but when I thought that I would have to fight to the death on the battlefield in the future, I was always a little unhappy in my heart.

When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, a person who looked like a housekeeper greeted him and said happily: "Oh, Xiang Ye and Ma Ye are here, the city lord has been waiting for a long time." ”

Xiang Yumeng raised his hand kindly and smiled: "Steward Liu, lead the way ahead." ”

I followed behind Xiang Yumeng as a guest and bodyguard, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, carefully looking at the defense of the City Lord's Mansion by the way.

The castle lord's mansion is somewhat similar to the setting of the nine gates in Kyoto, one layer after another goes inside, each floor is square, only two gates in and out, and it is surrounded by high thick walls, once the entrance and exit are closed, the top is full of archers, or with heavy crossbows, firearms attack, the attacking side is like a trapped beast, and it will definitely die.

Through the four-layer square outer defense, there is a fan-shaped door more than one zhang high, the door is full of red lanterns, and the joyful suona and gong palladium sound come from the inside.

"Qin Wu, why are you still stunned, don't you give the congratulatory gift to Steward Liu?" Xiang Yumeng coughed, pretending to be dignified.

Only then did I realize my identity, and I hurriedly bowed forward and handed the gift box I was holding in my fingers to Steward Liu.

Xiang Yumeng took out a yellow gold ingot from his sleeve and put it in the palm of Steward Liu's hand, and said with a smile: "Steward Liu, thank you for your care." ”

Steward Liu is a smart person, and he specializes in welcoming big merchants like Yumeng, so he knows that they will never be stingy.

"You're polite to you, please come forward." Steward Liu smiled and introduced the three of us to the inner mansion.

The courtyard of the inner mansion has long been full of people, full of congratulatory voices, Xiang Yumeng greeted everyone warmly, don't look at him less than thirty years old, but he has a sophisticated sleekness, and everyone hugged each other to say hello.

"Rank, it's not too early, take a seat." A strong man shouted with full of energy.

The guests outside were busy sitting down at the table in turn, and the guests who congratulated the birthday were arranged in the courtyard and the inner hall, and the courtyard was naturally some ordinary merchants or lower-level officials in the city.

Steward Liu gave us a look, and we entered the hall, there were only ten positions in the hall, except for the seven generals and high-ranking officials under Li Kui, the remaining three positions were located in the first row below the chairman.

Steward Liu led Xiang Yumeng and Ma Tiexin to sit down in the empty seat on the right, and the two seats on the left were suddenly Jin Taibao and Du Chunlan.

Jin Taibao and Du Chunlan are undoubtedly the most eye-catching pair on the field tonight, the Jin Taibao is wearing armor inlaid with gold sheets, which contrasts with his cold knife-like silhouette, cold, proud, and arrogant makes people admire.

Not only the Jin Taibao, but also the five powerful Han bodyguards behind him are also very dignified.

Looking at Chunlan again, the original red neon dress and feather coat was replaced with a white one, especially the white lotus flower inside the close-fitting light embroidered lace squeezed her full breasts to reveal half of the snow white, reflecting her delicate and delicate eyebrows, which is very charming, like a princess and princess, ice clear and holy.

Her expression was very indifferent at the moment, there was no sadness or joy in her rainy eyes, she sat there quietly, noble and cold, making it impossible to fathom her thoughts.

The ancients respected the left and the right was secondary, judging from the seats, the status of the Jin Taibao was really higher than that of Xiang Yumeng, even if Li Kui was dissatisfied, out of the face of the king, only the Jin Taibao could sit on the left.

Because of my current identity, I can't sit down, so I can only stand behind Xiang Yumeng, looking at Chunlan with mixed feelings.

After recovering from the person, Chunlan became more and more charming and beautiful, with a full figure and proud temperament, which made people intoxicated.

She glanced up slightly at me, and when she saw me, her rain-like eyes shone with a frenzied and surprising light, and her lips moved slightly, and she was about to rise up, and then sat down again.

"Spring ......" I almost blurted out as my body moved.

"Old Qin, you must be steady, otherwise you will lose tonight." Ma Tiexin turned his head and glanced at me with cold eyes, his lips did not move, but the voice clearly reached my ears, it seemed that it was another thaumaturgy of this kid.

I realized that I had almost made a serious mistake, that is, I didn't expect Du Chunlan to come, and she would undoubtedly affect my heart here.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly lowered my head, not daring to look at this girl's eyes again.

"Haha!" With a loud laugh, Li Kui, a strong man in the iron tower, walked into the inner hall with a black wine jar in his hand, and sat down proudly on the top.

"Haha, thank you brothers and friends, I Tie Niu is a rough man, I didn't want to waste money to hold a bird's birthday party, but I thought about coming to Nangou City for so many years, and I haven't greeted you well. Li Kui is a bold person, with rough speech, without the prestige of the city lord, and he is very close.

"Drink, drink, what are you doing with me." Li Kui doesn't move the cup, how dare everyone move the cup.

He moved, everyone began to drink, his generals were all from the military, and they didn't say much, and Xiang Yumeng and Jin Taibao were not in harmony, and suddenly the whole drinking party, the outside was hot, but no one in the inner hall spoke, extremely dull.

Li Kui took a dry mouthful, and when he saw that everyone was bored like a gourd, he couldn't help but be a little angry, "Grandma's, I finally had a good drink, and I kept a straight face, whether I came to celebrate my birthday or pay tribute." ”
