Chapter 14: Leave the Sword Behind
Li Chouxin was still immersed in the joy of getting three feet three, and the door behind him was suddenly knocked.
Shuyi didn't ask who it was, he stepped forward to open the door, and saw a woman in pale yellow clothes standing at the door, with a somewhat delicate and delicate appearance, looking very calm and gentle.
"Li Gongzi, this is my little sister's chess rhyme." Shuyi introduced to Li Chou squeamishly.
"That's right, little sister, why did you come, don't you usually stay with the landlord?" Shuyi turned around again and asked Qiyun.
Qiyun replied politely: "Sister, it was the landlord who asked me to come, and the landlord asked Li Gongzi to go upstairs for a while." ”
After listening to the book, he looked at Li Chouxin incredulously and said: "Li Gongzi, my landlord usually doesn't see outsiders, but he actually wants to see you today, I think it must be some attraction for Li Gongzi." After speaking, he looked Li Chouxin up and down, which made Li Chouxin uncomfortable.
"Li Gongzi, don't worry, my landlord just wants to get acquainted with Li Gongzi, and has no other intentions, and asks Li Gongzi to go upstairs with the little girl, don't let Miss wait for a long time." Qi Yun said at this time.
And Shuyi also accosted: "Yes, yes, Li Gongzi should go with the little sister." ”
Then Li Chouxin put away the three feet three, held the sword box and went upstairs with Qiyun.
Li Chouxin followed behind Qiyun and thought, "If you can get to know the landlord Yan Erliang today, it will be worth the trip." ”
It didn't take long for Qiyun to lead Li Chouxin to the third floor, where the style was full of antiquity, but at first glance it was a woman's residence. Qiyun took Li Chouxin to the door of a room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Chouxin found that this room was the room with the best view on the second and second floors of the entire building, and it could be seen clearly inside and outside the building, and it was facing the room he was in just now.
"Congratulations, Master Li, I got this sword today for only ten taels of silver." A woman's voice came from behind the screen on the side, and then slowly walked out of a woman.
Li Chou looked at it fixedly, this woman was delicate and had a white complexion, even if she had been so many years old, she had rarely seen such a stunner. She was dressed in a full-body red shirt, the color was very bright, and under the light of her countenance, this red dazzling color actually looked very harmonious.
Li Chou could see it, and thought that he originally thought that this Yan Erliang was a person as his name suggested, and he was the child of this official eunuch's family, pampered, maybe he was a pungent and arrogant female fat man, but he never thought that he was so delicate and moving.
"The landlord is polite, all of this is thanks to the blessing of the landlord, and I am sad that I got this sword occasionally." Li Chou knew that he would look embarrassed if he didn't speak again, so he said politely.
"Li Gongzi, please take a seat." Yan Erliang motioned for Li Chouxin to sit down on the chair next to him.
Li Chouxin put down his sword and sat on the chair next to Yan Erliang, and the teacup on the table in the middle was bubbling with bursts of aroma.
"Li Gongzi, the little daughter is the owner of this building, her name is Erliang, and her father is Sima Yan Zefa of Oroling, I don't know the identity of the son, can I tell me?" Yan Erliang said to Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin looked at Yan Erliang's lovely appearance, and his heart was calm, and replied: "The landlord, under Li Chouxin, from Nanchuan, has no relatives at home, and used to be a good person who dances poetry and swords, but in recent years, in order to make a living, he has also become a small trader in this world, and now he has set up a herb shop in the south of the city, called Sanmiaotang, and that's it." ”
Yan Erliang heard Li Chouxin's answer, but he didn't ask too much, it was no different from the result that people asked to find out during the day. So he said, "I wonder how Childe saw that this sword was not ordinary?" ”
Li Chou didn't hide it, "At first glance, this sword does look like a mediocre waste sword, but it may be because I like to practice swords since I was a child and what I have seen and heard over the years. Speaking of which, this is thanks to the auction held by the landlord. ”
Yan Er said generously: "It's nothing, Bole and Ma are indispensable, and this sword is the same, if there is no hero with discerning eyes, how can this sword recognize the master, it's just chance." ”
The two chatted in the room for a long time, and everyone downstairs was almost scattered, and even Zhang Rao, who was the latest to leave on weekdays, had already left in frustration.
"Li Gongzi, how about playing a game of chess with my sister? The little woman has something to gain and lose. Yan Erliang looked at the chess rhyme pouring tea on the side.
"It's okay, the landlord can go by himself." Li Chou replied.
When Yan Erliang went out, Li Chouxin and Qiyun sat down next to the chess game by the window, and were about to start playing, when a woman walked into the door, and saw that this woman was holding a guqin in her arms, dressed in plain clothes, with white and slender fingers, a good figure, light makeup on her face, and a long charm.
"Li Gongzi, the little girl is the landlord's maidservant Seryu, according to the instructions of the landlord, to add some elegance to the game between the son and the sister of Qiyun." With that, he walked to the desk at the other end and sat down, and was about to start playing.
Li Chou didn't speak, arched his hand towards Se Yu, and began to compete with Qiyun.
It's just that Li Chouxin's chess skills are indeed beyond everyone's cognition, and after a competition, Chess Yun has no power to fight back, and the abandoned son admits defeat, and the Seyu on the side is also played.
"Li Gongzi is really hidden, I didn't expect that he is not only so outstanding in poetry and knowledge, but even his chess skills are so unfathomable, and the little woman worships it." Qi Yun said that she retreated, and how did she know that when Li Chouxin was learning art with the head of the dust suppression dao, she used chess to relieve her boredom.
Li Chouxin looked at Se Yu, who was cleaning up the piano, and said, "Se Yu girl, sure enough, as her name suggests, she just played it flawlessly, just like Se Yu." ”
Se Yu was praised by Li Chouxin, his face turned red, and said: "Thank you Li Gongzi for your praise, and please sit for a while, the landlord should be back soon." Then he also exited the door.
Li Chouxin was drinking tea while thinking about how Yan Erliang could leave suddenly, this is not in line with hospitality. But after all, he had no clue, and at this moment, Yan Erliang came back.
After entering the door, he apologized to Li Chouxin even again, but Li Chouxin didn't take it to heart.
"Landlord, I see that the night is dark, it is better to say goodbye first, how about another day?"
Yan Erliang looked at Li Chouxin, took out a small wooden card from his body, handed it to Li Chouxin, and said: "Li Gongzi, the right two are negligent, this brand should be reparated, as long as Gongzi holds this card in the future, even if he does not consume, he can enter and exit at will in and out of these two floors even if he does not consume." ”
Li Chouxin looked at the wooden card in his hand, which was engraved with a strict character, thinking that it should be a hand card representing Yan Erliang's identity, so he said politely: "The landlord is too polite, this brand is really valuable, and it is not appropriate to worry about it." ”
"It's nothing, the sad boy accepts it, this brand is just more convenient to enter and exit the second and second floors in the future, and there is no other use, don't mind." Yan Erliang said.
When Li Chou heard this, he didn't push it back, and after accepting it, he left the second and second floors, thinking only about returning early so as not to worry the Ling sisters.
Yan Erliang watched Li Chouxin's departing back by the window, but secretly calculated in his heart, as if he was looking at a dead man who was about to die.
The night was slightly cool, the wind blew some flying leaves and weeds from time to time, and the whole long street seemed very lonely.
Just when he reached the intersection of East and West North and South Streets, Li Chouxin noticed something unusual, standing under the archway with South Street written on it, calmly concentrating and perceiving, and noticed that a group of people and horses were secretly approaching him.
Li Chouxin looked at the sword box in his hand and sighed: "Three feet three, it seems that there are still many people who are worried about you." ”
After that, Li Chouxin shouted at the north street: "Come out, don't be sneaky, presumably you are all here for the sword box in my hand." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of twenty or thirty people appear on the opposite North Street, slowly leaning towards him, holding various weapons in his hands.
Seeing this, Li Chou slowly stood the sword box on the ground, supported it with one hand, and faced the comer.
The person was approaching, and Li Chouxin saw that it was Zhang Rao, the young master of the Zhang family, who was walking in front, so he said: "Zhang Shao, it seems that you value the sword box in my hand very much, and you actually brought so many people to intercept it." ”
That chapter Rao didn't hide it, and said: "That's nature, treasures, those who can get it, and besides, in this Erling City, except for the landlord on the second and second floors, Ben Shao can't get it, there is nothing Ben Shao wants and can't ask for." ”
"I advise Zhang Shao not to be impulsive, maybe this sword box is like the landlord, you can't get it." Li Chou said very calmly.
"Don't talk nonsense, even if you have a high ability, you don't want to take the sword away tonight, next to me is the largest gang in Oro supported by my Zhang family-the Dragon and Tiger Gang, these thirty-two people are all strong in martial arts, see if you are still as hard as you are now." Zhang Rao couldn't believe that this sword box was bound to be obtained by himself.
Li Chou didn't ink either, "Then let's go together, I'll go home in a hurry." ”
Zhang Rao was furious when he heard this, and waved his hand to make people go straight to Li Chou's heart.
At this time, Li Chouxin understood that he couldn't make a dead hand, and he had to win over Zhang Rao later, so he didn't even pull out his sword, and met it with his bare hands.
Zhang Rao, who thought that the victory was in hand, watched happily from the side, and there were screams from time to time in the crowd who were fighting, Zhang Rao thought that Li Chouxin was beaten, but the more he went back, the more he realized that something was wrong, the sound was not made by the same person, Zhang Rao looked carefully, and in a moment the person he brought had fallen and was rolling on the ground and screaming.
Only then did Zhang Rao understand that he had underestimated Li Chouxin, and before he could calm down, everyone was put down by Li Chouxin with his bare hands, and he had no power to fight back.
Zhang Rao was a little panicked at this time, and hurriedly ordered the person next to him to step forward to solve Li Chouxin.
The man followed Zhang Rao's instructions, stepped forward, stood in the fallen crowd, took out the long knife from his back, and went straight to Li Chouxin with both feet, but since practicing the heart induction technique, Li Chouxin's sensitivity to anything has more than doubled, and every time the person slashes a knife, every stab is easily dodged by Li Chouxin.
Suddenly, Li Chouxin jumped back, stood still, and said, "Is it finished?" It's my turn this time. ”
Li Chouxin tapped his toes, flew forward, and before the man's knife fell, he quickly poked his wrist with his sword finger, only to see the knife in his hand fall to the ground with a scream, Li Chouxin kicked out, and the man flew out, thirty or forty feet away, and then fainted motionless on the ground.
Li Chouxin had already walked up to Zhang Rao at this time, and said to Zhang Rao: "Zhang Shao, do you want to do it yourself?" ”
Zhang Rao was so frightened by Li Chouxin's performance just now that his feet trembled, and he stayed in place, and then said in a trembling voice: "Li..., Brother Li, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, brother, I don't know martial arts, besides, with Brother Li's skills, another hundred people are probably not Brother Li's opponents, and I don't dare to worry about this sword, and I also ask Brother Li to raise his noble hand, let my brother go this time, and I will personally come to the door to make amends in the future." ”
Li Chou saw that his goal had been achieved, so he hugged Zhang Rao and said: "Zhang Shao, since it is a misunderstanding, then forget it, but Sorrow has two words, one is that it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy; The second is that I treat my friends with sincerity and sincerity, and I never treat my enemies softly. With that, he turned and walked towards the sword box, and was about to leave.
Zhang Rao still stood in place, muttering in his mouth: "He, is he going to be friends with me?" ”
And Li Chouxin suddenly shouted at this time: "Zhang Shao, it's cold at night, take your brothers back quickly, don't worry, they will recuperate at home for a few days at most, and it will be no big deal." ”
When Zhang Rao heard this, he looked at Li Chouxin, how could a weak young man who looked weak and couldn't help but be so terrifying, so he woke up the people on the ground and helped each other to leave this place.
Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Rao and the others who were leaving, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
And Zhang Rao, who had already left, was really curious about Li Chouxin, so he turned his head and hid in the alley on the side, wanting to follow and observe secretly.
Li Chouxin saw that there was no one around at this time, picked up the sword box and was about to leave, just as he started, there was a sudden sound of the piano from the side of the stairs, Li Chou looked upstairs curiously, the window of the room where the piano sound came was open, and the sound of the piano was full of killing intent, although Li Chou was curious, but he didn't want to stop, so he was about to leave.
As soon as he took two steps, a broken knife that was only half cut fell from the sky and was firmly inserted into the street on the tip of Li Chouxin's toes, blocking Li Chouxin's way.
Immediately, a rough and majestic voice came from the room where the sound of the piano came from: "Leave the sword, and don't go!" ”
Li Chou knew that the current group of people was much more powerful than what Zhang Rao had brought just now, so he turned to the room and asked, "Could the people who came have something to do with the second and second floors?" I heard the sound of the piano below, which was very similar to the Sermon girl on the second and second floors, but it was definitely not the Serab girl, because there was no such strong killing intent in the sound of the Sermon piano, could it tell the truth? ”
The sound of the piano was not broken, and the killing intent was still there, but a woman's voice came: "People who are about to die, why do you know, just go on the road with peace of mind." ”
The more Li Chouxin listened, the more he felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, and the sound of the piano presiding over the auction on the second and second floors gradually appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person upstairs was the sound of the piano.
Just as Li Chou wanted to ask, a group of killers jumped down from the rooftops around him, moving neatly with the sound of the piano, as if the sound of the piano was the instruction they received.
Seeing this, Li Chou looked down at the sword box in his hand, and said to the sword box: "It seems that you have been in the dust for too long, and it will not be good if you don't let you taste some human blood today." ”
And Zhang Rao, who turned his head back, was hiding in the distance and watching this scene, he looked at Li Chouxin, and felt that Li Chouxin seemed to have changed a person, at this moment Li Chouxin, his eyes were like torches, his expression was serious, and his body was filled with a strong sense of oppression, and he suddenly understood that Li Chouxin and himself just seemed to be playing with themselves, this is the real Li Chouxin.
Those black-clothed people masked and listened to the sound of the piano and killed Li Chouxin, Li Chouxin didn't care how many people were attacking, only to see calmly standing in the wind, a palm slapped, the sword box was broken and the sword was in his hand, just when the killer was close, he rose into the air, Ling and mid-air, and used a sword to come to the side.
Suddenly, I saw a dazzling light pouring down like sunlight tearing through the night sky, smashing into the killers with lightning speed, and a loud noise made the entire silent street even more silent, and the killers died before they could even scream, leaving only a neat and smooth sword pit on the ground.
The sound of the piano was finally messy at this moment, Li Ke fell to the ground, holding a long sword three feet three, pointing to the window, and said angrily in a low voice: "The owner of the broken knife, please also show up!" ”
A man leaped down from the window where the sound of the piano came, and pressed his palm against the broken knife out of thin air, and the broken knife flew back into the man's hand.
Li Chouxin looked at the person in front of him, with a fierce and vicious appearance, wearing a sheepskin vest to show his strong muscles, at a glance, he was a master of practicing foreign kung fu to the extreme, and he was afraid that one punch would have the power of a thousand catties.
"Boy, let you die today, Lao Tzu is a broken knife in Mobei - a knife, and it is your honor to die under my broken knife."
Zhang Rao, who was hiding in the distance, was dumbfounded, these two or two floors are really generous, and even the master of Mobei Broken Knife was invited, it is rumored that the exercises practiced by this Mobei Broken Knife are domineering and strong, the knife is just decisive, fast and flexible, and does not lose the power of the bull, once in Mobei people were terrified, and countless people died under its knife.
Li Chou's heart was still as calm as water, looking at the arrogant Gang Yidao in front of him, and said slowly: "Just a knife, just a knife, see if you can really just live." ”
Gang Yidao heard this, and ran towards Li Chouxin with anger, Li Chouxin was still not in a hurry, and used a sword again, the dazzling light came from the sky again, I didn't expect this Gang to be hard to catch this sword, I didn't expect it to be really caught, but the broken knife in his hand has become a broken knife at the moment, and all of them fell to the ground, Gang Yidao retreated more than a dozen steps under the sword intent, and spit blood in his mouth after standing still, looking at Li Chouxin in front of him with frightened eyes.
Gang Yidao knew that he had been defeated, but he still endured the severe pain and ran towards Li Chouxin with his bare hands, Li Chouxin also decided not to keep his hand anymore, and actually used the trick that Shi Wei had used to learn from Shi Wei, when the two passed by, the long sword slashed backwards from Gang Yidao's neck A sword mark, Gang Yidao fell to the ground and died.
At this moment, the sound of the piano upstairs stopped, and he must have been distracted.
Li Chouxin pointed to the window and said: "I, Li Chouxin, never kill women, you go back and tell your master, if you are friends with me, I can hold up anything, but if you insist on being my enemy, I will continue to do anything, and then I will blame me for being ruthless under the sword." ”
With that, the woman upstairs left in a hurry, listening carefully to the footsteps of the downstairs that could not be more chaotic.
Li Chou knew that after tonight, no one in this Oro Tomb would dare to embarrass him easily, so he turned around and left.
Zhang Rao, who had everything in his sight, ran out at this time and shouted, "Brother Li, wait for me." ”
Li Chouxin had long known that Zhang Rao was hiding from a distance and watching, so this time he didn't spare his hand, which not only shocked the second and second floors but also shocked Zhang Rao, so he turned around and asked, "What else is wrong with Zhang Shao?" ”
"Brother Li, I really blame my clumsy eyes today, Shicai is really grateful for Brother Li's mercy, otherwise I am afraid I will not see the sun tomorrow morning. Brother Li, I have decided, I will never be an enemy when I am friends with you in the future. Zhang Rao said to Li Chou for the rest of his life.
Li Chou saw that Zhang Rao had already surrendered, and said politely: "Zhang Shao, this is very good, since I am a friend, I will rely on your Zhang family in Oroling in the future." ”
Zhang Rao said: "That's natural, but even if there is no Zhang family, I'm afraid that no one in this Erling City will dare to find Brother Li's stubble in the future." ”
Li Chou smiled knowingly, "That is the case, you and I will talk about it another day, it is late at night, and we should worry about it if we don't go home again." ”
"Brother Li go slowly, remember to drink together another day." Zhang Rao said politely.
Li Chouxin walked in the direction of Sanmiaotang, while Zhang Rao still stood in place and watched Li Chouxin's back disappear into the night, still having lingering feelings about everything that had just happened.
