Xie Jin opened the war letter, and saw that the letter was transcribed in small letters, and it was about him to compete in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and the three words "Lu Yunpeng" at the end were strong through the back of the paper, but Zhang Fan signed it on his behalf.

Mr. Xie, the No. 1 swordsman in Huashan, was not good at intrigue with others, and for a while he really thought that Lu Yunpeng was going to settle old accounts with himself, so he put the letter away and said to Meng Yishan: "You tell Lu Yunpeng, let him go and prepare quickly, no matter where he competes, Xie will definitely accompany him!" ”

Lu Jiuyuan asked for the war letter, and looked at it casually, with a smile on his face.

Lu Jiuyuan's sharp gaze brought pressure to Meng Yishan, and he had a ghost in his heart, so he secretly thought, "This surnamed Lu's eyes are a thief, don't spoil grandpa's good deeds!" ”

Lu Jiuyuan intuitively felt that there was something wrong with Lao Meng's war book, but he looked at Xie Jin, who was full of battle spirit, and sighed in his heart, "These two people will fight sooner or later, and there is no difference between the truth and falsehood of the war book." ”

Lu Jiuyuan said to Meng Yishan: "Borrow a martial arts arena in the city, or use my Lu family's venue!" He was afraid that there would be deception, so arranging for the two to compete in front of everyone could avoid a lot of danger.

Meng Yishan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't say anything to hinder him, and promised to choose the venue of the martial arts competition at will, Lu Jiuyuan couldn't figure out that it was Lu Yunpeng who Lao Meng wanted to assassinate.

Meng Yishan walked back to the stone bridge in the front house of the Lu family, his mind was digesting the martial arts moves he had just seen, and he was a little forgetful, and when he reached the center of the bridge, he was shocked, and there was a person standing at the head of the bridge in front of him, with long eyebrows, wearing a brocade satin suit, lined with five bats holding longevity clouds, and his eyes and posture were not like a rich man.

The man watched Meng Yishan approach, and did not greet him, the sleeves of his robe were raised, and a great and rigid whirling internal strength rushed up from the sleeves, and crashed straight into the old Meng in the center of the bridge, and with that wave of force, Meng Yishan was wrapped in the entirety, and Peida's true qi seemed to fill the heavens and the earth, pushing his whole body like a stone wall.

Meng Yishan had no time to be frightened, he was in a hurry to protect his body, his left fist was smashed straight like a cone, and he had already used Zhang Fan's recent "Breaking Waves" boxing technique, which was the basic external strength of the sea and sky thunder.

The man smiled slightly, and before the two sides made contact, he suddenly collected the strength of the sky, and Meng Yishan felt that even the wind had stopped for a while, leaving only his heartbeat and the sound of his fist breaking through the air.

The strength of the fist was empty, Meng Yishan was too forceful, and his chest and abdomen were annoyed, and the brocade-clothed body moved, his movements were as fast as a ghost, and his palm was already on Meng Yishan's shoulder.

Meng Yishan was terrified, this person could send and receive the fierce internal force of the true qi of the long river from his heart, this kind of kung fu must be a figure of the same generation as Lu Jiuyuan.

The man withdrew his palm and smiled, Fang Cai's shot turned out to be just a temptation, and he said: "In Xia Lu Jiufeng, the envoy is good at martial arts!" ”

This brocade-clothed man turned out to be Lu Shaojun's father, Meng Yishan was unjustly defeated, and said with a forced smile: "The head of the Lu family stopped at the bridge, is he looking for me to compete?" ”

Lu Jiufeng stroked the jade railing, his face was calm, and said to Meng Yishan: "River transportation is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and the Yellow River is sailing, and there are countless dangerous shoals and whirlpools, and Lord Meng is already in the center of the whirlpool!" ”

Meng Yishan was secretly angry in his heart, "Give Lao Tzu a dismount first, shock me and then talk to me about river transportation, it's really too much of a deception!" Lao Meng was wary and smiled at Lu Jiufeng: "Brother, this official is appointed by the imperial court, and I don't know what kind of river transportation I don't know!" If there is anything to say, the head of the Lu family will make it clear! ”

Lu Jiufeng asked with a smile: "I heard that the inspector has a great friendship with the owner of Ye Zhuang?" At the beginning of his tenure, he began to support the Ye family. ”

Lao Meng Zhengse replied to Lu Jiufeng: "The Ye family is a serious business, thinking of selling goods in Datong, of course I agree, your original salt introduction was reported by Tian Xi to the political envoy for approval, and it will naturally be invalidated when you come to me, and you have to do it again!" ”

Meng Yishan already vaguely felt that there was a big problem for these two families to compete for this route.

Lu Jiufeng sighed and said: "What the imperial court strictly prohibits is to exchange markets with Warat, Datong's business except for military supplies, is secretly supplied to the Warat people, they lack salt and iron, and they can get huge profits from transporting it from here!" ”

Lu Jiufeng said to Lao Meng: "My family is doing pure business, that Ye Qianxun...... After a long time, adults will know what is going on! The head of the Lu family looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Meng Yishan secretly said that the Ye family and the Huashan faction seemed to be involved in the smuggling of salt and iron outside the Great Wall, as for whether the Lu family was innocent or not, Lao Meng was too lazy to care, it was not good that one sold salt and the other sold iron. None of them are good.

Meng Yishan showed a rare confused look, and said some irrelevant words, Lu Jiufeng arched his hand to Meng Yishan and said, "In the future, I will rely more on adults in business!" "It already has the meaning of sending off guests.

Lao Meng said goodbye to Lu Jiufeng and left the Lu family with a smile on his face.

It was not too late to return to the inspection department, as soon as Lao Meng entered the door, he summoned Mo Kui to the study left by Tian Xi to meet, Tian inspected and did not have any ink, this study was built in the depths of the house, and the open window could take a look at the movement outside, which was convenient for discussion.

Mo Kui came in and said to Meng Yishan: "Big brother, Lu Yunpeng sent the news there, and he agreed to the competition!" The news that the two are going to duel has been publicized! ”

Qian Lun calculated that Lu Yunpeng had to accept the challenge for the sake of fame and the prestige of the dart game, so he made a plan to provoke the two to duel, and sure enough, the letter was sent to the master of the Lu Bureau and accepted the challenge.

What's even more powerful is that Meng Yishan also sent someone to find Gao Changtai, the Marquis of Weiyuan, and released the news that the two were going to duel from his gambling game.

Coaxed outside, if Lu Yunpeng refuses to fight, others will be afraid of him, because the martial arts of the two are not far apart, Xie Jin's Huashan swordsmanship does have a great chance of winning, forcing Lu Yunpeng to jump into the trap even if he knows that there is a ghost.

Meng Yishan cautiously explained to Mo Kui again: "Tie Xiong, in the future, the salt and goods transported by the Ye family at the ferry will be released, but you have to secretly inspect it clearly to see if there is any entrainment, this matter can only be left to you to do, I can rest assured!" ”

Mo Kui didn't understand his intentions, and he didn't ask, so he agreed.

In the past two days, the news of Lu Yunpeng's duel against Huashan Jiejin has been circulating on Guanluojiang Lake Road, and the Marquis Gao specially vacated the west school field of the guard house and let the two of them compete, which is also convenient for people to watch.

The grudge between these two people is well known, and everyone is waiting for the two top masters to fight for a victory.

On the day of the two-man competition, Tian Xi was escorted on the road by Li Ding early in the morning before the duel began, the imperial court had a time limit, he had to go, Lu Yunpeng also felt that Luoyang was a big city, and there were all market villages and towns nearby, and there was no mistake when he walked on the official road during the day.

Meng Yishan heard that Tian Xi was on the road first in the morning, and immediately notified Zhang Fan and Mo Kui to lead the team to rob the darts, and he also wanted to follow, but the high marquis had to drag him to watch the competition.

Yun Peng's dart car was less than ten miles out of the city, and it was traveling on the official road leading to Yanshifu City, surrounded by fields and people, and there were pedestrians crossing from time to time. The executioner shouted "I, Wu Weiyang" outside, and the dart masters were afraid of the cold, so they all hid in the car, and Li Ding also talked to Tian in the car, saying some flattering words to compliment this big employer. No one is alert in this environment, so there are robbers who choose to rob darts here?

Zhang Fan and Mo Kui led a group of private salt companions, each with black cloth wrapped in their heads, leading two or three horses, pretending to be the northwestern horse dealers that can be seen everywhere. With the exception of the big tent of money, they were forced to get on the horse by the knife, and the gang gradually caught up with the dart team from behind.

Waiting until a mile apart, Mo Kui gestured to the team to stop, they turned out to be a gang of smuggling salt, and they cooperated very tacitly, all of them restrained their horses, Mo Tiexiong came to Qian Lun's side, and shouted to his subordinates: "Cover your face, and rush up with your blade!" Fifty steps away, let the surname Qian shout, and if he didn't shout, he would be killed! The coachman stays, and the rest are killed! Zhang Fan rode his horse and didn't speak, only Mo Kui could command these people, he only had to deal with Li Ding, who had the highest martial arts, and intercepted Lu Yunpeng on the return trip.

Everyone handed over the surplus horses to a team of people to take care of, and kept them for transportation after a while, and the rest took off the black scarves from Baotou and tied them to their faces. Mo Kui exercised a wrought iron stick in his hand, gestured, and took the lead in galloping out, and more than 20 horsemen behind him were holding Qian Lun, and the smoke and dust galloped towards Li Ding's dart team.

Only a hundred steps away from the dart car, only the executioner of the palace found that this group of horses was not a good road, they all insisted on the blade, and hurriedly shouted for the front defense, without waiting for a sentence to finish, Mo Kui's mount rushed up, smashed the head of the executioner with a stick, and Mo Tiexiong, whose face was splashed with blood, roared: "Stop the dart car!" With his feet between the horse's belly, he sat down and neighed, galloping forward with four hooves to stop the dart team.

All the darts were frightened by Mo Kui's fierce appearance, the dart masters got out of the car to meet the enemy, as long as they did not run when robbing the darts, the rules of the green forest did not harm the coachman, and those coachmen hurriedly strangled the horses, lest the horses be frightened away and lose their lives unjustly.

There were still a few pedestrians on the road, all of them were so frightened that they walked into the field to hide, and in the chaos, they heard someone shouting loudly: "Yejiazhuang Steward Qian Lun is here, our Huashan faction and Yunpeng Dart Bureau settle old accounts, and those with long eyes will flash away from the master!" ”

Qian Lun asked people to use knives to force him to speak, he couldn't think of it loudly, and after speaking, he found that he was not only afraid, but also found that what he said was quite enjoyable!

The battle between the two sides around the dart car was evenly matched at the beginning, the dart board's executioner and several dart masters were good martial arts players, and a group of salt lords who robbed often fought with the official army inspection and black counterparts, all of whom were outlaws, but the killing method was rough, and Mo Kui's side did not take advantage of the conventional force.

But for the time being, there is no opponent who can resist Mo Kui's Shaolin mad demon tactics. Mo Tiexiong practiced horizontally, invulnerable, and brave.

Mo Kui's gang and Tian Xi have long had a grudge, when they committed illegal salt, several brothers fell into the hands of Tian Xi, and they were all convicted and killed.

Li Ding watched anxiously as his subordinates gradually couldn't resist, but a slender masked man stopped in front of him, from a standing posture from momentum, making him feel that this person's martial arts were extremely skillful.

Except for the battle in which Yun Ao cut off one of his ears, Li Ding has never been defeated. On the contrary, Zhang Fan, who was masked, aroused his fighting spirit.

Vice President Li's right hand pulled out the long sword on his waist and stroked it, and the true qi contained in the sword brought up the sword roar, using the "boundless falling wood" in the Kongtong Four Seasons Sword, and the left palm was behind the sword, and then prompted a green wood palm, and the two types were cast in a chain, and the power was doubled.

Zhang Fan recognized that it was Aoki's palm, he had a hard touch, Haitian thundered and urged, his left palm slapped the long sword, and his right hand smashed it out into a fist, two thunderous explosions, Li Ding's skill was not enough, the long sword was shocked back a foot, and the palm was also numb by Zhang Fan's force.

Rolling Sea Dragon stepped forward by mistake, turning into a left fist with a right palm, continuous bombardment, Li Ding's Aoki palm was difficult to use, can only be replaced with defense, step by step retreat and unloading force, and when Zhang Fan sent to the thirteenth punch, Li Ding felt that the chest and abdomen were empty, and he was fierce and fierce, and the middle breath of true qi was powerless to continue, and he stopped there, and with a bang, Li's deputy dart head was hit in the chest by the punch, and half of his body was hit sideways, and he was beaten a foot away.

Li Ding only felt a mouthful of blood rush up his throat, and he immediately held his breath and forced it back, and at the same time rolled over to avoid Zhang Fan's next attack.

Li Ding knew that if he spit out the blood in his abdomen, his true qi had to be dispersed, and the current situation was only to flee and inform the bureau master. He closed the qi of his upper body, and flew a few steps with his injured body, and raised his palm to knock down a salt dealer, and he couldn't make out the direction. grabbed the horse and galloped away along the official road.

Before noon, the characters of the rivers and lakes in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Luoyang poured into the West School Field, and there were many people who had been suppressed by the domineering of the Huashan faction, and they also came to cheer for Lu Yunpeng. This is the place where the point army exercises, accommodating more than 10,000 people, and these spectators are full of circles around, just waiting to see the duel between the two.

The Ye family didn't seem to be interested in this competition, Ye Qianxun didn't show up at all, and only Lu Shaojun, who was young and good at martial arts, arrived in the Lu family, and waited in front early.

On the general platform built on the soil, Gao Changtai and Meng Yishan are in the middle, which is the best position in this one, but Lao Meng's mood is not very good, because he saw Li Qing and Zhu Pan entering the arena together, and Meng Jian scolded secretly, "It must be the mother-in-law of the Li family." ”

Zhu Shizi followed the head of the Yiwang Mansion and brought a few guards. It seems that he was stabbed twice and finally strengthened his defenses!

Several of them were acquaintances, Zhu Pan came over to greet Gao Changtai, and greeted Lao Meng, he behaved elegantly, smiled gently, and did not have the gloomy expression of killing people on the street that day.

Wang Fuer and Gao Changtai are very familiar with each other, so they were invited to sit beside Meng Yishan and Gao Houye, Lao Meng and Wang Zongjiao, who had not seen him for a day, greeted him affectionately, and Wang Fuer also congratulated him on his new official appointment.

Lao Meng was a little proud in his heart, and secretly looked at Li Qing and thought: "Lao Tzu doesn't do things for your father, you can still get ahead!" It's just that Jiupin's official position is also a little smaller. ”

Zhu Pan and Li Qing both sat in front of Meng Yishan, and Zhu Shizi knew that old Meng was jealous, and his eyes stared at his back up and down.

Li Qing has not seen him since that day after being taken advantage of by Meng Yishan, and later heard that he quit the head hunt and did not do it, and wanted to meet and ask him why he left the palace, but at this time he saw Meng Yishan in a light green official robe, wearing a nine-grade hat, majestic, it seems that he has been promoted.

Qing'er looked at the old Meng and the Hou Ye talking and laughing, and thought that Meng Yishan resigned from the door of Li Zhifu and climbed another high branch, where he knew that there was also a blind date in the mansion, and Meng Yishan pulled out a knife and cut down the tree and swore an allusion.

Mrs. Prefect has also said a lot of benefits to Zhu Pan in her daughter's ear these days, but as for Meng Yishan, Mrs. Prefect doesn't even bother to say bad things.

Although Zhu Pan is elegant, but his means of killing people that day are ruthless, Li Qing still remembers it vividly, what she is most disgusted with is not this, but Zhu Pan has that strong martial arts, and he endured until the moment of life and death that day, so that others have always thought that he is weak, this kind of submerged personality is frightening, if you are with this person, you don't know what you will hide from yourself in the future? Qing'er was completely disappointed in Zhu Pan.

This time the two met together, it was really the prefect's wife's idea, Li Qing was depressed in the mansion these days, and when he heard that the two masters were competing, he shouted to watch, and the Li family sent someone to inform Zhu Pan and ask the prince to protect his daughter to go out, and also had the intention of matching the two by the way. Miss Qing'er, not to mention that she originally hated Zhu Shizi, plus her mother found her to follow, all the way to the present, she looked at Zhu Pan coldly, and she didn't have a good face.

Meng Yishan couldn't help but be very happy when he saw it in his eyes. Qing'er had a cold attitude towards Zhu Pan, so Lao Meng temporarily put aside the idea of teasing Li Qing and scolding Zhu Shizi in the past.

Besides, Mo Kui's actions didn't know what was going on, he was a little anxious, and his absent-minded expression was reflected on his face

Wang Jiaoxi had been observing Meng Yishan from the sidelines, taking his expression in his eyes. Wang Fu'er asked Meng Yishan with a smile: "Brother Meng has something on his mind?" ”

Meng Yishan hurriedly denied it, and said: "No, I'm waiting to see the competition and so on, Brother Wang is here to protect Zhu Pan today?" He quickly changed the subject.

Wang Fu'er said: "I came to you specifically, I heard that you were promoted to patrol envoy, the prince was very happy, and said that he didn't see the wrong person, and wanted to recruit you to narrate!" ”

"What, the prince wants to see me?"
