Chapter 64: Acquaintances Keep Appearing
"Flowers? Du Wu? Ding Chengfeng muttered.
You Longsheng's eyes flashed, "Have you heard of these two people?" β
Ding Chengfeng nodded, "These two are famous swordsmen in Jiangnan, I heard Nangong Qi talk about them, but I haven't seen them." β
"Since he is a famous swordsman, he should naturally go and see it." You Longsheng said.
Ding Baiyun shook his head, "No need." β
"Why?"
Ding Baiyun pointed to the entrance of Cuiyun Building diagonally across the long street, "Because they are right there." β
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng looked at Ding Baiyun's fingers, and saw two people standing facing each other on the long street more than 100 meters away.
At this time, the lights of the long street are like daylight, and their eyesight is also very human, and they can see the opposite side clearly.
One was dressed in green clothes and looked handsome, and the other was dressed in yellow robes with eyes like eagles, and both of them were staring at each other tightly, obviously a big battle could break out at any time.
You Longsheng also looked at the two of them with interest.
In Gu Long's novels, duels are a very common thing, and they often occur in public, the most famous of which is, of course, the battle between Ximen Blowing Snow and Ye Gucheng to fight against the top of the Forbidden City.
There are also duels that no one sees, such as Xiao Li Feidao and Shangguan Jinhong, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan.
But in any case, the duel between the two heroes is an enduring episode in Gu Long's novels, and this kind of duel not only happens to top masters, but also to ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.
You Longsheng had never heard of the name of the lightning swordsman Du Wu, but a sword flew all over the sky, but he was his old acquaintance.
appeared in "The Prodigal Son of the Border City", he is the second person in Wanmatang, and the relationship between him and Wudang Mountain is unknown, he killed the people of Wudang Mountain, but he was able to ask Wudang Famous Suzhou to help, in the original work, he tried to force Ma Kongqun away to control Wanmatang, but the conspiracy was revealed and he died in the hands of Ma Kongqun.
However, You Longsheng looked down on him a little, because he didn't dare to make a move at Ma Kongqun at all.
You Longsheng is confident, his current martial arts are already the first-rate level in the rivers and lakes, no worse than Ma Kongqun twenty years later.
At this time, in addition to You Longsheng's table, many guests on the street looked at the two people in the long street near and far, pointing and pointing, among which there were many wealthy businessmen and martial arts people.
You must know that martial arts masters have always been the objects of wealthy businessmen, and in this era, taking care of the family and the hospital, sailing and horses, and having a master to press the formation, that can save a lot of trouble.
Just when everyone was still discussing, the man in the yellow robe had a sharp look in his eyes, his body rushed forward, and he drew his sword with his backhand, and the tip of the sword was like a lightning bolt that slashed through the void, piercing the opposite heart.
The other person seemed to retreat, the long sword was unsheathed, and a sword shadow danced, as if flying flowers in the sky, and the opponent's lightning was encircled in the sword shadow, and then moved left and right, and the sword light swayed.
"Jingle ......"
After a series of crisp sounds, a long sword suddenly flew out of the battle group and nailed to the pillars of Cuiyun Tower, and the yellow-robed man also flew back, holding his right wrist with his left hand, dripping with blood.
"Lightning Swordsman? Nominal! The man in Tsing Yi sneered and put his sword back into its sheath.
"You!" The yellow-robed man was obviously furious, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only snort angrily, turn around and leave.
"Good!"
"Beautiful!"
"Good swordsmanship!"
"It's worthy of a sword flying flower, virtual and real, unpredictable, even the lightning swordsman who is famous in Jiangnan is not an opponent!"
"Awesome, Hua Daxia, please go upstairs for a while!"
"Uncle Hua, Miss Qingyi upstairs, please go upstairs and sit down."
Hua Mantian won the duel, naturally he was the object of everyone's invitation, the lightning swordsman Du Wu's swordsmanship was not weak, and Hua Mantian's easy win naturally showed that his swordsmanship was more superb.
Then Hua Mantian entered Cuiyun Tower, and it was because of the Qingyi girl upstairs that he had a duel with Du Wu.
Seeing the flowers leave, You Longsheng and the three of them also turned around.
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng glanced at each other, smiled and said nothing, but Ding Baiyun couldn't hold back and sneered, "What lightning swordsman, what kind of sword flying flowers, the names are all very good, that's all?" β
Not to mention You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng, even Ding Baiyun is sure to defeat Hua Mantian.
"Little Niangpi is blowing nonsense, and Hua Daxia is also something you can slander?"
Although Ding Baiyun didn't speak loudly, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the guests at the table next to him heard her words, and then slapped the table.
"Where did the little lady come from, I don't know how thick the sky is, hurry up and apologize, otherwise if it reaches the ears of Hua Daxia, I am afraid that things will not be beautiful." Another middle-aged man at the same table immediately said.
You Longsheng and the three turned around and looked at the four people on the table next to them.
A big man, a middle-aged man, an old pedant, and a young man in brocade.
It was the big man who slapped the table just now, and it was the middle-aged man who persuaded Ding Baiyun to quickly apologize.
You Longsheng didn't care.
When the four of them just sat next to him, he had already observed, and he was by no means a master of the rivers and lakes, and listening to the two of them at this time, he was even more sure of this matter.
Also, how can there be so many masters on the rivers and lakes?
And You Longsheng didn't care at all about Ding Baiyun saying that the sky was full of flowers.
Just kidding, who is Hua Mantian, doesn't he know yet?
A person who doesn't know what opponent he offended and ran away to be a slave to Ma Kongqun from afar, how powerful can he be and his background?
If he knew the identities of the three of them, he would probably have to come and toast in person.
Four local ordinary Jianghu people, seeing You Longsheng's three young faces, actually wanted to use this to sell to Hua Mantian, they simply didn't know what to do!
The voices of the big man and the middle-aged man were not small, and they immediately attracted the attention of several tables of guests on the third floor, and they all looked at them.
The old pedant's eyes were full of inquiry when he looked at the three of them, and the brocade-clothed young man also saw Ding Baiyun's appearance, and couldn't help but light up, and hurriedly said, "Second uncle, when Hua Daxia and Du Daxia were competing with the sword just now, it is very far away from here, it is estimated that this girl didn't see clearly, so you ......."
"I see it very clearly."
Ding Baiyun smiled coldly, lifted the scabbard with his left hand, and drew his sword with his right hand to collect the sword, all in one go.
"Chokβ"
If it weren't for the flashing sword light just now, and the sound of drawing the sword that was still echoing, I was afraid that everyone would not react, and Ding Baiyun would have drawn his sword.
The next moment, when everyone was still in a daze, the big man closest to Ding Baiyun suddenly broke the bundle of hair on his head, and his messy hair suddenly fell down, so frightened that he jumped up directly.
"Do you need me to apologize?" Ding Baiyun said coldly.
The four of them shook their heads frantically, then stopped eating, hurriedly settled the bill, and left in disgrace.
The other guests didn't dare to speak, and immediately turned back to eat.
Then not long after, a man in a strong suit came to the three of them and bowed down, "Hello three, my helper has invited three of you to the fourth floor!" β
Linxian Pavilion has four floors, but the fourth floor is not open to the public, and the three of You Longsheng are not hypocritical, so they sit on the third floor to drink and enjoy the night.
I didn't expect there to be a character who looks like a big guy on the fourth floor?
You Longsheng turned around and asked, "Who is your helper?" β
The man straightened up, smiled slightly, and was quite proud in his words, "The master of the Flying Whale Gang is also the chief scoop of the seventy-two water and land wharves in the south of the Yangtze River!" β
ββββββββββ
PS small interaction: Where did the original book mention this chief scoop of the 72 water and land wharves in the south of the Yangtze River?
