Chapter 161: Peak Duel, Meet Peerless Again
Yan Ming put down the teacup and looked up, this middle-aged man was full of modest smiles and gorgeous clothes, like a rich housekeeper.
Looking over his shoulder, there were several cars parked outside, carrying goods and boxes.
Yan Ming didn't know anyone in the capital, if he removed the people in the public gate, then there would only be Li Yanbei.
Last time, Yan Ming helped Li Yanbei, and after the other party went back, he also sent people to send thank you gifts many times.
After all, in addition to being rich, Li Yanbei is still rich, and he is best at expressing his gratitude in this way.
What's more, after that, Yan Zhutou's fame became bigger and bigger day by day, and Li Yanbei certainly wanted to seize this opportunity and have a good relationship with Yan Ming.
It's just that Yan Ming doesn't lack money the most, and the first few times Li Yanbei sent the gold and silver, Yan Ming asked the other party to bring it back the same way.
By now, Yan Ming has no obsession with gold and silver.
After all, with his current strength, as long as he nods, there will be a steady stream of people coming to the door to send money, and what he is afraid of is that he will not accept it.
Li Yanbei will no longer send money in the future, but send some goods or strange things.
Yan Ming is sometimes in a good mood and will take some of it.
But whether it can be done or not, Li Yanbei is constantly sending it and is very attentive.
Anyway, Li Yanbei also understands that as long as the thing is delivered, no matter whether Yan Ming accepts it or not, he can feel his heart, and this is enough.
It seems that this time Li Yanbei's things have arrived.
Seeing Yan Ming's eyes looking outside, the steward hurriedly took out the gift list with great insight and handed it to Yan Ming.
After taking it and glancing at it, Yan Ming sighed that this Li Yanbei was really generous, and the things sent this time included the silk of Qianqiaozhuang, the tea leaves of the Misty Peak, and the things of the Wonder Pavilion......
Anyway, it looks like a lot of bells and whistles.
"My master asked me to greet Yan Zhutou, and after Yan Zhutou arrived in the capital, please be sure to talk to my master with your face."
The steward's smile widened.
Yan Ming couldn't help but wonder: "Who told you that I was going to the capital?" ”
"It's just my master's speculation, I heard that there is a shortage of manpower in the capital, and the above wants to transfer Yan Zhutou into Beijing, in addition, the capital has been more lively recently, and my master thinks that Yan Zhutou may be interested."
Yan Ming didn't know what he said, but since Li Yanbei said so, it is estimated that it will not be groundless. As a tycoon in the capital, he must have his own special information channels, and it is normal to get some inside information, and it is not a day or two that the six doors really want to transfer him.
But what will be the excitement in the capital? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one must be making trouble, right?
Seeing Yan Ming's somewhat curious expression, the steward explained in time.
"It seems that Yan Zhutou, you are busy guarding the people, and you haven't heard about it yet, not long ago, the west gate of Wanmei Villa has agreed to a decisive battle with Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and the location is in the capital."
"Wow, isn't that a rare pinnacle showdown?"
Guo Furong, who was sweeping the floor, also came over and was excited.
As he was talking, Bai Zhantang came in from outside with a new issue of Jianghu Monthly.
"Big news, Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng are going to have a decisive battle!"
It seems that he also just got the news.
Yan Ming took a look at the Jianghu Monthly Report, and sure enough, there was a huge large text on the first page, and almost all of them were reporting on this matter.
It was the first time that everyone had seen such a piece of news, even if Murong Zi made a special report for Yan Ming last time, he didn't have this posture.
It seems that the news should be true.
Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng are both famous figures in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they are the top two peaks in kendo at that time.
Regarding which is stronger or weaker between Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng, there has been endless debate on the rivers and lakes, but there has been no result.
Now these two top figures are about to compete with each other, how can it not be exciting?
It seems that as soon as this news comes out, it will soon be able to overshadow Yan Ming's recent movements.
What's more, the people in the rivers and lakes also understand that Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are both extremely affectionate and sexual, and they are all characters who are devoted to the way of the sword, and their duel will definitely not be a small fight like an ordinary martial artist, otherwise it will not drag on for so many years, and they have never met.
Because the two of them also know that as long as they fight, it will be both superior and life-or-death.
Two people, two swords, after all, there can only be one winner.
This not only means that the first person in the world of kendo will be decided, but also means that there will be one less great master, which is a major event that affects the pattern of the rivers and lakes.
For example, Ye Gucheng is the chief guest secretary of the Pingnan Palace, if something happens to him, it will also be a major blow to the strength of the Pingnan Palace.
The battle of the great grandmaster is already rare, not to mention the life-and-death duel that involves a wide range of people?
No wonder this steward just said that the capital was lively, and if you think about it, you will know that there must have been countless good deeds flocking to the capital.
For a while, Guo Furong, Bai Zhantang and others seemed to see the current grand situation in the capital, and they couldn't help but be fascinated.
"By the way, what is your master doing now?"
Yan Ming suddenly thought of something and asked.
If he remembers correctly, Li Yanbei will also be idle in this turmoil.
He used dozens of Beijing mansions under his name as a bet, and Du Tongxuan, who is also a tycoon in the capital, gambled on this matter.
Sure enough, the steward said.
"My master has made a gambling contract with someone, and he has already bet on Ximen to blow the snow to win!"
At this point, the steward seemed to be very proud.
Really!
Yan Ming thought in his heart.
It stands to reason that Li Yanbei bet right, and the final winner was indeed Ximen Blowing Snow, but he didn't wait for the results to come out, so he lost confidence and didn't dare to bet to the end, so he still lost his family business.
"How can your master press Ximen to blow snow, I still have a better look at the strength of the White Cloud City Lord!"
Guo Furong spoke next to her.
"Xiao Guo, this is what you don't understand, it's obvious that Ximen has a better chance of blowing snow!" Bai Zhantang objected.
"It must be the Lord of Baiyun City, his Flying Immortals outside the sky are already the highest attainments in swordsmanship, when I was in Beijing, my father praised it more than once!"
Guo Furong is not to be outdone.
"Although the Flying Immortals outside the sky are strong, it is impossible to defeat the ...... of Ximen Blowing Snow"
Bai Zhantang argued with Guo Furong in a few words.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, why are you still arguing." Tong Xiangyu hurriedly ran over and stopped the two of them.
Even Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong can quarrel over this matter, but you can imagine how far the argument has reached outside.
Yan Ming couldn't help but recall the last time he met Ximen Fuxue.
However, in comparison, Yan Ming's focus in his heart is still different from others.
According to the original plot, the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng is actually a disguise, Ye Gucheng who appeared on the night of the full moon is fake, and the real Ye Gucheng is cooperating with the prince of Pingnan to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne!
In this world, Ye Gucheng also has a deep relationship with the Nanwang Mansion, and even the Black Lotus Sect is involved, presumably this duel is also not so simple.
Yan Ming already had a guess in his heart.
Recently, although he has not left Qixia Town, and Qixia Town is also a peaceful scene, in fact, Yan Ming has heard more than once from the mouths of the people who come and go in the rivers and lakes, and the outside world has become more and more chaotic.
While bandits and bandits from all walks of life were raging, the relationship between the court and King Pingnan began to become more and more tense.
Although the two sides did not deal with each other before, they still maintained the harmony on the surface and did not tear their faces.
However, the most *** Nanwangfu has repeatedly refused to give face to the imperial court, and is aggressive in many things, and its subordinates have also had several frictions with the imperial court, and they seem to be testing the bottom line.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Yan Ming, but combined with the decisive battle between the two sides, Yan Ming guessed that the father and son of King Pingnan should be going to take action.
In addition to the bustle of the capital, there should be an undercurrent surging.
"Yan catcher?"
The steward was beside him, holding a gift slip and reminding.
Yan Ming retracted his thoughts and thought about it, after all, he and Li Yanbei also had a little friendship, watching the other party jump into the fire pit, he still couldn't bear it, so he might as well remind the other party one or two.
"You bring this gift back, I appreciate the kindness, but I told Li Yanbei to help me bring it back."
When the steward heard that Yan Ming didn't want anything, he was still a little disappointed as he had done a few times before, but then he heard Yan Ming still have a message, and immediately cheered up.
"Go back and tell Li Yanbei that I will also make a bet with him, I bet that he doesn't have the courage to gamble with Du Tongxuan to the end, and eighty percent will admit it halfway, if he can win, I will invite him to drink good wine."
Yan Ming said with a smile.
I can't say it too clearly, knowing that Li Yanbei is a gambler by nature, so I simply used this method to provoke him.
"This ......"
The steward was full of doubts, he couldn't figure out what Yan Zhutou meant, this bet was a bit inexplicable, but since it was the other party's intention, he still nodded obediently and agreed.
"Don't worry, Yan Zhutou, I will definitely bring the message word for word when I go back."
Knowing that Yan Ming's mind was determined not to accept gifts, he didn't have much entanglement, and left immediately.
As soon as he turned around, Bai Zhantang was still arguing with Guo Furong while Tong Xiangyu was not paying attention.
"Ximen blows snow stronger!"
"Ye City Lord's Flying Immortals outside the sky are invincible!"
Seeing that the two of them were like living treasures, Yan Ming chuckled slightly, and turned his head to look at Lu Xiucai behind the counter.
"Xiucai, how is it lately, have you made progress with Xiao Guo?" Yan Ming also gossiped.
Xiucai looked at Xiao Guo, and then walked out of the counter.
"Yan Zhutou, you have to help me......"
Lu Xiucai immediately told the current situation.
He thought that Yan Ming was interesting to Xiao Guo, and even regarded Yan Ming as an imaginary enemy for a while, and he was very wary.
But after observation, it was found that Yan Ming was not interested in other times except for occasional interaction with Guo Furong, so he gradually let down his guard, and now he is pouring bitter water on Yan Ming.
Yan Ming listened to what Lu Xiucai said, and then he realized that his relationship with Guo Furong had been stuck recently.
Since Lu Xiucai has performed a few times before, Guo Furong is not as cold to him as she used to be, and she does not refuse some of his overtures, and her attitude is quite ambiguous.
But after a long time, it's not okay to be in this state all the time, and this kind of thing is like sailing against the current, and there is no progress, so it is a little dangerous.
Lu Xiucai also knew this truth, but he couldn't think of any way, sometimes he plucked up the courage to go further, and Guo Furong came over without saying a word......
Yan Ming listened to Lu Xiucai's complaints, bowed his head slightly, and probably understood.
At present, it seems that because of Lu Xiucai's previous performances, Xiao Guo has no bad feelings towards him, but it is still difficult to go further, Guo Furong has such a strong personality, and Lu Xiucai is very wooden, it doesn't look like there can be a breakthrough in the relationship.
Having said that, he remembered that in the original plot, the impetus for the relationship between the two was actually an external crisis. As long as it is in the midst of the changes, the sincerity can be seen and the relationship between the two can be warmed up.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming was still a little embarrassed, because strictly speaking, this also had something to do with him.
He was too capable of fighting, and he eliminated all the dangerous people in advance, and he didn't threaten the Tongfu Inn at all, so the two of them had no chance to go further.
After saying it again, Lu Xiucai's face became even more sad.
"You have to think of a way quickly, Yan Zhutou, you don't know, the situation has been very dangerous recently!"
"Danger? What's so dangerous, can someone stick between you and Xiao Guo? Yan Ming quipped.
But as soon as the words fell, Ling Tengyun walked in with a knife.
Now Ling Tengyun is wearing a small catcher costume, and he looks a little happy.
It stands to reason that Ling Tengyun has the background of the Ling family, and he is usually called Ling Zhutou, so it is impossible to be a grassroots small catcher, which is completely out of order.
It's just that he doesn't pay attention to so much, he just wants to continue to experience the experience in Seven Heroes Town, and takes the initiative to apply to start from catching fast, which is why he has this scene.
Ling Tengyun's own strength is not weak, he is also handsome, coupled with a lot of background, he quickly became familiar with the land of Qixia Town, whether it was ordinary people or big businessmen, they all competed to develop a good relationship with him.
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Zhantang shut up, stopped arguing with Guo Furong, and took the initiative to hide in the backyard.
Although Bai Zhantang was already holding the gold medal of exoneration, every time he saw Ling Tengyun, he was still very awkward and always felt uneasy.
It was Guo Furong who took the initiative to greet Ling Tengyun.
"Ling Zhutou, what do you want to drink today?"
"Don't call it a forehead catcher, it's almost done, it's the same as a swallow catcher, drink tea."
"Okay, the teapot is there, you can pour it yourself, I'm busy."
Guo Furong pointed to the table.
But it was such a simple exchange, which immediately made Ling Tengyun extremely excited.
He is at home, which is an idol-level figure in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and when he goes out, he is surrounded by a group of girls, and he has seen a lot of people who are attentive to him.
In Seven Heroes Town, especially the Tongfu Inn, it feels less noticed.
"Miss Guo, you must keep it in the future, don't treat the forehead as a handsome guy, you must be cold and how to come, don't like the forehead."
Ling Tengyun said with the same accent as Tong Xiangyu.
"There's something wrong with you, right?" Guo Furong was full of disgust for him.
"Miss Guo, do you have anything to help with, can you see ......if it's okay?"
The more Ling Tengyun was like this, the more energetic he became, and he took the initiative to approach Guo Furong. Seeing all this in his eyes, Lu Xiucai's face was full of pain, and he pointed at Ling Tengyun and said to Yan Ming.
"Yan Zhutou, you take care of him, pestering Furong every day, in case it's really ......"
Before Lu Xiucai finished speaking, another person walked in at the door of the inn.
Looking at the figure, she is a woman, and she is a woman in the rivers and lakes, dressed in black, wearing a black gauze hat, and holding a blade in her hand.
Of course, for the children of the rivers and lakes, Tongfu Inn has seen a lot.
Bai Zhantang avoided the backyard, and Guo Furong took the initiative to greet him.
Ling Tengyun hurriedly rushed to help: "Come on, do you want this guest officer to be sharp or stay in the hotel?" ”
"Eat something first."
As soon as the woman's words came out, they fell into Yan Ming's ears, which was very familiar.
Yan Ming turned his head sharply, looked at her, and shouted tentatively, "Wushuang, why are you here?" ”
This woman is Zhu Wushuang of the Sunflower Pie.
