Ai inquired and took a sip of the teacup, and said: "More than 20 people from the Tea Horse Gang rushed up, only to see the young man flying left and right, dancing the package impermeable, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 people fell to the ground. Alas...... Badly wounded! Ai inquired and shook his head, it seemed to be a pity for the Tea Horse Gang.

"Ai inquired, what are you sighing for? Isn't the loss of our Tea Horse Gang big enough? Someone stood up and asked. Ai inquired about the teacup and looked around: "Little mule, can't you be quiet?" Let the people of the Tea Horse Gang hear it, and you will feel better, and in the end, don't bother everyone. Everyone nodded in unison, and the little mule sat down in fright, and his head was so low that he was almost under the table.

Someone whispered: "We have been angry enough by the Tea Horse Gang and the Salt Gang, who is this young man, defeating so many people in the Blue Sky Inn alone is really a relief of hatred, it is really a blue sky hero." It didn't take long for the name of "Blue Sky Hero" to spread throughout the county.

Xi'an, also known as Chang'an, is the earliest and longest city in China and the city with the most dynasties. There are thirteen dynasties such as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Xin, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty (Emperor Chu), the former Zhao, the former Qin, the Later Qin, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, etc., which are as long as 1,200 years long, and the famous Chengkang Rule, Wenjing Rule, Han Wu Dynasty, Zhaoxuan Dynasty, Kaihuang Dynasty, Zhenguan Dynasty, and Kaiyuan Dynasty were all born here.

At this time, five miles away from the city gate of Xi'an, a carriage slowly drove by. Zhu Ziping kept frowning: "Second brother, you're about to go home, it's just that I've caused so much trouble that it's inconvenient to go to your house." ”

Yan Yue hurriedly said: "Big brother, what are you afraid of?" Although my Yan family is not one of the best in Xi'an City, they are not afraid of those gangs. Li Jingxi persuaded: "Gongzi Yan, you are an official eunuch, although you are not afraid of those gangs, but if you really provoke them, you will not be much better, after all, they are numerous and powerful, and they are in the dark." ”

"Yes, Miss Li is right. I'm a martial artist, I'm not afraid of them, I can't escape, I can't escape, and if I can't escape, it's just a life, second brother, you're different. ”

Ouyang Lan was a little anxious: "Brother Zhu, what should I do?" Zhu Ziping said: "I'm not afraid of them alone, the second brother and you don't know martial arts, I can't help, I still have to take care of you, and I will also implicate the second brother's family." I don't think anyone saw you all the way anyway, so you got out of the car quietly where there was no one in front of you, and then I drove into the city alone. ”

Yan Yue said: "Big brother, don't I have no brotherly love like this?" Li Jingxi laughed: "Brotherly love is not reckless, you and Sister Ouyang returned home, watched coldly, and secretly helped, but it is better than you in Brother Zhu, no accident, Brother Zhu and I live in the Qinguan Inn." ”

Zhu Ziping said: "It's decided, I'll go to the city to find an inn to live in, and I have to rely on the second brother for this fee." Last night I said that I would wait for them in Xi'an, and in twenty days, if it was okay, we would see each other again, and we would talk about where we would go then. And Miss Li, your home is in the city, and it can't affect you, you will get off the bus in a while, but you can't go with your second brother and sister Ouyang. ”

Li Jingxi took out something from the baggage and put it on her face, Ouyang Lan exclaimed: "Sister Li, you ......" It was a human skin mask, a woman in her forties, who looked very ugly, but made it very realistic. Li Jingxi said: "This mask is uncomfortable to wear on the face, so I am generally too lazy to use this thing. Brother Zhu, you don't have to worry about me, you are not familiar with Xi'an, it would be better to have me by your side to help. ”

Zhu Ziping nodded: "Then that's it." The carriage continued to move forward, and seeing that there was no one on the road, Zhu Ziping put Yan Yue and Ouyang Lan down the carriage, beckoned the two to walk along the road for a mile, and then turned around and came back, and the two did as they said.

Zhu Zifang flicked his whip, and the carriage entered the city gate quickly. In the carriage, Li Jingxi looked at the back of Zhu Ziping rushing to the car, and felt that although this person was bold, he was thoughtful, without the roughness of an ordinary martial artist, and his face turned red when he thought about it.

After entering the city, Li Jingxi instructed Zhu Ziping to park the carriage at the Qinguan Inn. The inn fruit is huge, three-story wooden building, glazed tile roof, bluestone base. Xiao Er greeted him, and Zhu Ziping advised: "Little Second Brother, the carriage is placed outside here, and the horse is brought into the stable to feed well." ”

Entering the inn, the view is even more cheerful, the front hall is a restaurant, the middle is a courtyard, the continuous arches and corridors on both sides extend inward, the courtyard is paved with bluestone bricks, and a row of verdant ancient pine branches stretches. There are hundreds of houses in the back of the yard, and they seem quiet in the shade of ancient trees, without the hustle and bustle of inns.

The two asked for two private rooms next to each other, and it was still afternoon, and it was still early for dinner. Li Jingxi said: "Brother Zhu, you bathe and rest here for a while, and I will go home to report my safety, so as not to worry my family." ”

Zhu Ziping nodded and said, "You have to be careful." "I know, I wear this mask when I go out."

Only a mile away from the Qinguan Inn, there is a mansion that is a contact point of the Salt Gang, at this time, Li Sanye in the mansion is walking back and forth in the courtyard, it seems that he is quite anxious, the Salt Gang's code has left a lot along the way, if Xi'er sees it, he should come as soon as possible. At this moment, I heard someone behind me shouting softly, "Master, I'm back." ”

Li Sanye hurriedly turned around: "Xi'er, are you okay?" How did you meet those people in the Tea Horse Gang last night? "Master, I came out of the courtyard, because it was dark, I didn't see that it was them, and when I saw it clearly, it was too late to hide."

"These bastards, they are used to bullying us, and now they are even more daring, when the big thing is decided, I must destroy them!" Li Sanye said hatefully, "Why did you fight again later?" ”

"That Zhu Ziping's martial arts are really powerful, and he knocked them down in a few clicks. Later, Zhou Zhenglin, the tea horse gang, took more than 20 people to the inn to take revenge, but he was also put down by him three times and two times. ”

"Good! Good! God help me. Li Sanye slapped his palms, and then clenched into a fist, "Let that kid fight with them, it will be of great benefit to us, I originally thought that if I couldn't win him over, I would secretly kill him, but now it seems that ...... Hmph, I can't move him yet. After a pause, he said, "It's providential...... I went to Shangnan this time to secretly contact the master of Henan Zhang Duo, I was afraid of revealing the news, I thought that the stupid boy was sent by someone, but now it is good, and it has become a weapon for us. Hmph, my kick was worth it. Xi'er, why are you red? Am I right for you to use a bitter trick to get close to him? ”

Xi'er heard that the master said that he had been kicked, thinking of the master Chunxiang and the reckless Zhu Ziping, she couldn't help but blush, and then heard the master ask, and hurriedly said: "Master, our salt gang should not provoke him recently, so as not to provoke him again." He's now bent on dealing with the Tea Horse Gang. ”

"Where did I provoke him? Hmph, it was he who provoked me first and kicked me, where did Master suffer such a wretch...... Xi'er, are you feeling unwell, do you have a cold? How the face is redder. "It's okay, maybe I'm tired on the road, Master, I have to rush back so that he won't be suspicious." "Everything is careful, I'll arrange the next step, pay attention to our contact code."

The Xi'an branch of the Tea Horse Gang is located in a village courtyard in the southern suburbs of the city, close to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The courtyard is very large, a stone road with a width of more than two zhang leads directly to the lower courtyard, and then along the blue brick pavement can reach the middle courtyard and the upper courtyard, the meeting hall of the tea horse rudder is located in the upper courtyard, the overall layout is compact, the internal communication is connected with each other, and the external defense is tight. At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference hall, and the head of the seat was the helmsman Zhou Zhenwu, forty-five or sixteen years old, slightly thin, squinting his eyes, as if thinking about something. Sitting under it was the deputy helmsman Deng Qiankun, less than forty years old, with thick eyebrows and a square face, and was born majestic. Under Deng Qiankun's hands, there were eight or nine hall masters sitting in turn.

Lord Zhou Helm finally spoke: "Zhou Zhenglin was injured and couldn't come today, Wang Dacheng was even more seriously injured, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get better without three or four months." At present, it is a critical period, but it is a succession of losses and losses. After a moment of conversation, he said in a deep voice, "That blue sky hero is just a hairy boy, but his strength is amazing, he fights and kills, and he has injured more than 30 of my brothers in total." ”

Deng Qiankun said: "Helmsman, let me bring a few people to meet him." Lord Zhou Duo shook his head: "No need, there will be results in less than a month, then there will be no scruples, and then I will go all out to deal with him, and now we must focus on the overall situation, and we must pay close attention to those people in the Salt Gang to prevent them from getting in the way." ”

At this time, the samurai of the courtyard ran over and stood outside the door to report: "Helmsman, someone has sent a letter." Master Zhou Duo said: "Master Han, you read it to everyone." ”

A man with a good look took the letter, opened it and read: "Tea Horse Gang, I have heard about you for a long time...... Bullying men and women, doing all the bad things, I blue sky hero challenge you, if you dare to fight, ten days later, I am waiting for you on the scripture platform......"

"Alright, don't read it!" At this time, a woman came in from outside the door, about twenty years old, who was already born beautifully, and wore a white dress with a holy and elegant temperament, it was Zhou Zhijing, the daughter of Zhou Duo. She had just visited her second uncle Zhou Zhenglin who was injured, and she was upright, so she stopped Master Han and said angrily, "Dad, let me take someone to kill him!" ”

Lord Zhou Helm ignored her and asked, "What about the person who sent the letter?" The samurai at the door replied, "Helmsman, the messenger is a small man named Huazi, who has been controlled by us, and is still at the door." ”

"This blue sky hero is really arrogant, he injured our people, and dared to come to the door to challenge, how could my tea horse gang ever be so angry? Helmsman, let me go and I will meet him. Deputy helmsman Deng Qiankun couldn't hold it anymore.

"Don't be impatient, let's discuss it again." Lord Zhou Duo said coldly, looking at the warrior at the door, "Lao Liu, you ask the messenger to stop leaving, we may ask him to bring the letter back later." ”
