Chapter 70: Indulgence
Zhao Xiao nodded secretly, this swordsman in a strong suit looked like a swordsman from the south of Huaxu Kingdom.
Previously, Luo Xixian had recruited several swordsmen as his entourage guards to accompany him in the battle in Starfall County. Zhao Xiao originally felt that these swordsmen were at best the guards of the wealthy family, and they were of little use on the battlefield.
Later, Zhao Huang gradually learned that these southern swordsmen were a martial arts inheritance of the Tianxia Dynasty, and they were accustomed to using five-foot long swords.
It is said that the southern swordsmen divided into various schools, and some also introduced the kung fu of spitting and refining qi, although not everyone can emit sword qi like Luo Xixian, but there are still some people who can do it with qi and blades. The swordsman in front of him is an example.
As for the boy in brocade, Zhao Xiao used the Ying Xuan Zhaojing technique to see that he had the blessing of the technique, and there was a difference between the shape of the body seen by the naked eye and the actual direction.
Zhao Xiao also understands this kind of body shape transformation technique, which is coarser and shallow than the gold water shape method, and most of the time it is not very useful, but in this kind of close-quarters sword fighting, the difference in size is often the difference between life and death.
Coupled with the treasure knife in the hand of the boy in brocade, he knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary product, and it could break up the qi machine and cloth, and he would also exert extra force, so he had the upper hand.
It is estimated that the swordsman in the strong suit also noticed that the other party's technique was different, and immediately took two steps back, lifting the blade obliquely, and his ears moved slightly, as if he intended to rely on the sound of footsteps to judge the exact location of the boy in brocade.
"What? Wasn't it quite arrogant just now? The brocade boy touched the blade of the knife and did not hide his contempt: "People like you, how dare you disturb Miss Xianhui three times and twice, do you really think that you can win the favor of Miss Xianhui with a few pieces of gold cakes?" Don't look at yourself, you don't have the slightest Wenhua temperament, full of green forest thieves, you just gasp there, you are polluting the boudoir of the slender girl! ”
The swordsman in the power suit gritted his teeth and was secretly angry, and Zhao Xiao noticed that the qi around the other party was converging into his palm, and he could send it out along the long sword at any time, obviously with murderous intent.
"Slow down." Zhao Xiao took advantage of this gap to dissuade him: "The ship was about to enter the city, and the two of them boarded the ship to fight, making the sails uncertain and the crew panicked, which is very inappropriate. If it is to find revenge, why not find another empty place and ask the government to witness the duel? ”
Huaxu State can't help but fight privately, which is also a tradition since the Tianxia Dynasty, but it usually has to be witnessed by the government, and the duel is signed by both sides, regardless of life and death.
When the brocade-clothed boy heard this, he glanced at the white ribbon of Zhu Wen on Zhao Xiao's waist, and snorted coldly: "Which pavilion are you from?" Don't you have long eyes? ”
Zhao Xiao arched his hand and said: "In the Xia Huaiying Pavilion Fu ......"
"Huaiying Pavilion?" The boy in brocade snatched Bai and said: "The countryside is poor, and you have come to Dongsheng to beg for food?" What is this son going to do, it's not your turn to interject! ”
Zhao Xiao blinked in place, and the style of the brocade boy made him smell a familiar smell, but he still calmly signaled to the distance: "Two, Longzangpu is not a wide waterway, and there are still ships waiting to enter the city and anchor in the rear, and it has been delayed for a long time, I am afraid that I will miss the itinerary of a big man." ”
"What bullshit?" The boy in brocade raised his sword and pointed directly at Zhao Huang: "Even if the real dragon comes to Dongshengdu, it has to be nested!" ”
"Your Excellency...... Is it from Chongxuankan? Zhao Xiaopi didn't smile.
"Even if your dog's eyes aren't crooked." The boy in brocade raised his head proudly: "This son, Zheng Tunan, Jiujiang Zheng, Chongxuan Pavilion Immortal Blood, do you understand?" ”
Zhao Xiao raised his hand and touched his chin, muttering, "I'll just say, it's like Liang Zhongwei, it smells sour and rancid." ”
Zheng Tunan's ears were bright and clear-sighted, so he naturally heard Zhao Mi whispering, and raised his eyebrows and shouted: "The countryside is poor, you have the ability to say it again!" ”
Zhao Xiao sighed, he still had the idea of being kind to others before, even if the Chongxuan Pavilion and the Huaiying Pavilion have always been incompatible, it can't talk about the degree of life and death.
But thinking back to his various actions in Xingluo County, bluffing Liang Shuo and contradicting Liang Tao, he is destined to not be good friends with Chongxuanguan, and the teacher is in the cabin, so why give this Zheng Tunan a good face?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiao didn't plan to be polite, and said bluntly: "You've heard it all, why should I waste my saliva?" Now it's either dismount yourself or I'll kick you off. ”
Zheng Tu Nan was so angry that he let go of the powerful swordsman, and glared angrily: "You have a kind, I'm going to-"
Before the words fell, a black tiger flew out from Zhao Xiao's sleeve, and it became louder in the blink of an eye, Zheng Tunan was so frightened that he instinctively retreated, and the sword slashed obliquely, only the sound of gold and iron was heard, but no blood splashed.
Zheng Tunan was frightened, and was about to pinch the trick to perform the technique, Zhao Xiao's figure quickly approached, raised a kick, and hit the chest and abdomen.
This kick was unremarkable, but it brought great strength, and it accurately hit Zheng Tunan's chest and abdomen.
I only heard a muffled click, Zheng Tunan's ribs were broken several times, as if he was being attacked by the siege of the city, his body bent, and the whole person flew out upside down and fell directly into Longzangpu.
Hearing the sound of popping water, Zhao Mi felt an unprecedented happiness in his heart. He suddenly understood why Luo Xixian did not hesitate to kill Liang Zhongwei in the first place, in the face of these unscrupulous children who had no one in their eyes, it was not only uncomfortable to hold it for a long time, but also to damage his mood.
However, Zhao Huang didn't plan to kill Zheng Tunan, he still relented in the kick just now. And as soon as Zheng Tunan fell into the water, there were people on the shore shouting, and those servants jumped into the water desperately and hurriedly rescued their masters.
Zhao Huang caused surprise and panic among the people on the ship, and the shipowner turned pale with fright, and when he heard Zheng Tunan report to his home, he had already planned to pull Zhao Huang back, lest he cause a big incident. As a result, Zhao Xiao looked at Sven calmly on the outside, and he was not polite at all, not to mention that there was an iron-like black tiger on the deck now, who would dare to open his mouth and say nonsense?
This black tiger was transformed by the Yinhu Order, and Zhao Xiao did not forget to refine the magic weapon during the days he was on the ship, so that the true form of the Divine Tiger and the Yinhu Decree coincided for the first time. Not only is it more powerful, but it is also solid and indestructible, Zheng Tunan's treasure knife only leaves a few scratches, and it can be restored to its original state with a little sacrifice.
Enjoying everyone's suspicious gaze, Zhao Xiao withdrew the spell, and the black tiger turned back into a delicate tiger talisman in his sleeve.
"Boss, keep sailing." Zhao Xiao waved his hand.
"Thank you, Immortal!" The shipowner did not dare to ask more, and hurriedly let the sailors work.
"Immortal Chief, please stay." The swordsman in the power suit was still on the deck, and he stepped forward to clench his fists and said, "Villain He Dangguan, thank you Immortal Chief!" Dare to ask the immortal for his name, and he will repay him in the future. ”
"Huaiying Pavilion Zhao Xiao." Zhao Xiao took a closer look at He Dangguan at this time, and found that his power suit was slightly worn, and the leather boots on his feet also had mud spots.
You must know that in recent years, men in Dongshengdu have a fashion of not growing beards and applying powder to the face, and Liang Shuo's feminine appearance is more popular with all the people in the capital.
He Dangguan's appearance is obviously not often in Dongshengdu, and he has a dispute with the son of a family like Zheng Tunan.
"Zhao Xianchang helped out, and the villain was grateful, but he was afraid that Zheng Tunan would have trouble Zhao Xianchang in the future." He Dangguan said.
"Oh." Zhao Xiao didn't know how to respond, he couldn't say that he had taken advantage of Liang Shuo, right?
He Dangguan was a little anxious: "Zhao Xianchang, you may have come to Dongshengdu for the first time, but you don't know that there are many people here, they rely on the shade of the Gaomen family lineage, and they are wanton to cause trouble, and there is no shortage of people who have been educated in the Chongxuan Pavilion, even if they have not studied the arts, they also have charms and magic weapons to protect themselves."
Zhao Xianchang kicked that Zheng Tunan into the water today, I am afraid that tomorrow there will be a monk from the Chongxuan Pavilion to seek revenge, even if you are from the Huaiying Pavilion, it is difficult to ensure safety here in Dongsheng Capital, it is better to leave quickly! ”
Zhao Huang glanced at He Dangguan, originally thought that this person was jealous of Zheng Tunan in the land of this brothel girl, but he didn't expect that he would also know kindness and righteousness, and he would not turn around and leave in order to avoid trouble for himself, and specially reminded Zhao Huang.
"I've dealt with Chongxuanguan, so don't worry." Zhao Huang asked: "But Brother He didn't know why he fought with Zheng Tunan?" ”
He Dangguan seemed to have something unspeakable, and made up his mind before saying: "The villain has a family heirloom, and in the early years, because of the war, my father had to entrust the treasure to a friend who was born in the Zheng family of Jiujiang. After settling down, his father repeatedly hoped to get back the treasure, but the Zheng family refused to return it, and even sent Hao Nu to beat his father.
The father died depressed, and the villain vowed to return home for the treasure. It's just that the Zheng family is one of the four surnames of Chongxuan, and the villain is really not allowed to enter. After several inquiries, I learned that in this Longzangpu Yeming Pavilion, there was a slender girl who had a close relationship with her father's friend of the Zheng family. So he visited with a lot of money and begged Miss Xianhui to help her. ”
Zhao Huang nodded, and He Dangguan continued: "The villain finally managed to see the side of the slender girl, but he ran into that Zheng Tunan, he repeatedly insulted with words, and claimed that the treasure had been destroyed. The villain couldn't bear it, so he fought with him. ”
When Zhao Huang heard this, he suddenly remembered the Zhen Yuan Lock that had been snatched away, wouldn't the people of Chongxuan Pavilion also destroy it?
"I'm curious, what kind of treasure is it?" Zhao Xiao asked.
Although He Dangguan did not elaborate, it is very likely that the family heirloom was entrusted to others because the family was hungry and cold during the war, and he wanted to exchange the only valuable things around him for life-saving grain, rice and cloth, and it was not clear that the Zheng family took the opportunity to blackmail. It is not uncommon for the family to take advantage of the war and natural disasters to extort money from the fugitive family.
He Dangguan thought about it, but still said frankly: "In fact, it is a three-legged wine jue, called 'Jie Wei Jue', which is said to be a fairy vessel, as long as you chant a spell towards the wine jue, there will be a steady stream of good wine in it." ”
Zhao Xiao's expression is strange, this treasure doesn't sound very serious, not to mention whether the legend is true or false, a wine lord who keeps pouring out fine wine doesn't seem to be of much use, could it be that the immortal family who refined this lord is addicted to alcohol?
"Coincidentally, some things in our Huaiying Pavilion were also taken away by the Chongxuan Pavilion." Zhao Xiao sighed, now that he can't worship the Chongxuan Pavilion, it's hard to say when he will be able to find the True Yuan Lock.
He Dangguan thought about it, lowered his head and clenched his fists: "The villain knows that the immortal chief is very capable, and he has a reluctant request!" ”
"Do you want me to help you inquire about the Relief Lord?" Zhao Xiao saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance.
"Not bad!" He Dangguan's black face was also very ashamed: "The villain doesn't believe what Zheng Tunan said, if Jue Xie is really a treasure of the Immortal Family, the Chongxuan Pavilion should not destroy it." ”
Zhao Xiao nodded secretly, after all, he had seen Liang Tao's cultivation of mana, no matter how incompetent and mediocre the children of the Liang family were, such a big family and a high-ranking family, there were always a few people with good eyesight, even Liang Shuo himself was also knowledgeable. Things like the Relief Worry Lord and the True Yuan Lock are said not to be easily destroyed.
"I can't guarantee reliable information." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "If the Zheng family deliberately hides it, I can't help it." ”
"The villain understands."
The ship passed through Longzangpu all the way to a Watergate dock in Dongshengdu, where passengers had to leave their boats and disembark. He Dangguan told Zhao Huang where he lived, hurriedly said goodbye and left, and disappeared into the vast sea of people and lights.
Zhao Xiao was thinking about it, when he saw Zhang Duanjing also come to the shore and look at him expressionlessly.
"Teacher, am I doing something wrong again?" When Zhao Huang saw Zhang Duanjing looking at him like this, his neck shrank, and he felt as if he was meddling again.
"You take care of yourself." Zhang Duanjing rarely did not criticize, which made Zhao Xiao's heart feel relieved, maybe he had recently lost his mother, and the teacher was unwilling to say cruel words, right?
Following Zhang Duanjing through the Dongsheng Capital, all the way to the Hou Mansion of Anyang in the city, Zhao Xiao found that Zhang Duanjing did not need to listen to the direction at all, and came to the Hou Mansion familiarly.
After the report, the door of the Hou Mansion opened, and a man stepped out, his robe and wide sleeves, his face was straight, and when he saw Zhang Duanjing, he bowed down: "The younger generation visits Zhang Gong." ”
"You are now the Marquis of Anyang, you don't have to be like this." Zhang Duanjing returned the salute.
"As it should be." An Yanghou's eyes moved slightly, and he saw Zhao Xiao who was saluting to him on the side, looking up and down, his eyes straight: "Like, too similar." ”
Zhao Xiao didn't know what to say, at this moment he was secretly sad in his heart, but also a little embarrassed. The man in front of him is the object of his mother's remarriage, if it weren't for the sake of his mother, Zhao Xiao would not want to see this person.
In Zhao Xiao's view, this Marquis of Anyang is a complete villain and villain who relies on his power and wealth to forcibly take away his mother.
"You're the son of Brother Ziliang, aren't you?" Anyang Hou stepped forward and patted Zhao Xiao's arm, sighed heavily, and there were tears in his eyes: "You are so old, if Brother Ziliang sees it, how happy will he be?" ”
The more Zhao Xiao listened, the more wrong he became, this Anyang Hou saw himself, and he actually talked about his father Zhao Ziliang, could it be that the two of them had old times? He never had that impression.
"Meet Master Hou." Zhao Xiao hurriedly said: "Xiaomin came here today to pay tribute to his biological mother, and he didn't dare to disturb the mansion. ”
"What Hou Ye? What small people? An Yanghou corrected: "It's all your own family, if you want, call me Uncle Shi directly!" ”
Zhao Xiao couldn't stand the other party's enthusiasm and kindness, but seeing the teacher's indifferent expression, he couldn't show it, so he could only let the other party hook his shoulders and introduce him into the Hou Mansion.
