Chapter 196: The Tao is Ruthless but Affectionate (8)

On this day, the three ghosts of Tanxi were really busy, they were killed by Ye Yunsheng and others in the middle of the night, not to mention the destruction of weapons, and they had no choice but to be small, bowed their heads and waists, and drank a meal of wine with them.

hurriedly rushed to Longzhong, just wanted to rest, entered the deserted temple, and actually bumped into the people of the He family, until the moment of life and death, Ye Yunsheng appeared and saved them.

Fortunately, the life-saving benefactor did not force them to participate, but just asked the three ghosts to do a small favor.

The first is to bring a few words to Cui Sheng, who is still in Xiangyang.

The other is to send Yuwen Qinghe to Xiangyang and hand it over to the people of the Immortal Gang.

The little girl crossed half of the Khitan territory from Changbai Mountain, and walked half of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, all the way to Xiangyang, but in the blink of an eye, all the partners who had gone through the wind and rain died.

Like a little wild cat that no one wants, it is lonely and miserable, making it difficult for people to leave it alone.

The three ghosts of Tanxi divided into two ways, Huo Xiaohei brought a message to Cui Sheng, and Xu Darou and Zhang Wenzhu took her to the splendid cloth workshop in the west of Xiangyang City.

This is the largest cloth mill in Xiangyang, including Fancheng, and there are several big figures in the officialdom standing behind it, and no one dares to mess with it.

But what can the Undead have to do with it?

Xu Darou asked Zhang Wenzhu, "You say, why did Mr. Ye ask us to wait in the alley behind the cloth mill?"

Zhang Wenzhu is a dull character, she doesn't like to talk, and she was in a hurry before, so she had that tirade, which made Ye Yunsheng feel extremely happy and moved to help each other.

At this time, he shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Xu Darou knew the temper of the third brother, so he didn't think it was strange, and said: "I heard that the Undead Gang is a dragon and tiger in Jiangning Mansion, there are tens of thousands of people, if it wasn't for Mr. Ye asking us to come here to find the Undead Gang, who would have thought that this splendid cloth workshop is actually the industry of the Undead Gang!"

Zhang Wenzhu still shook her head, making people wonder what it meant.

Xu Darou thought he was sighing, smiled, and looked back at Yuwen Qinghe, who was obediently following behind him.

When the three of them reached the alley, they saw that there was a dead end just over fifty paces ahead, with mottled stone walls on both sides and a burst of stench.

Xu Darou wiped the tip of his nose and asked, "What smell, so unpleasant?"

"It's dyed water. Zhang Wenzhu looked at a courtyard gate in front of him, and it happened to be opened at this moment, and two women with big shoulders and round waists carried two half-person-high bamboo baskets, and when they came out, they saw more than a dozen beggars sitting there in the alley surrounding them, as if they had seen rare treasures, and snatched the things in the bamboo baskets like crazy.

Even Zhang Wenzhu showed a look of astonishment, and Xu Darou's jaw was about to fall.

They snatched it out and held it in their arms with joy, but it was nothing more than a broken strip of cloth that was not of the right color, as if it had been stained.

Yuwen Qinghe was not connected to the small world of the Central Plains, and was confused by this scene, so he hurriedly asked the two people in front of him.

"What are they doing?"

"Those cloths were dyed poorly in the cloth shop, and the people inside threw them out, and they waited here to get them. ”

"What do you do with it?"

"Sew and mend, or make a garment. ”

"But aren't these cloths not working?"

"Hey, they're beggars, where do they have the money, to buy new clothes? ”

Xu Darou and Zhang Wenzhu glanced at each other, and they both felt a little funny.

It turns out that this is the Undead Gang......

............

The Proud Square is a long hollow square, with a circle of gardens on the outermost side, and the layers are houses, corridors, courtyards, flowers and stones flowing water.

What stopped Cui Sheng was a group of people in the rivers and lakes, standing in the courtyard with their backs to a flowing mountain rock.

At a cursory glance, there were about seven or eight people, a few young people in the back, and the one in the front was nearly middle-aged, all of them men, with long swords.

"Looking for me?" Cui Sheng asked casually.

"Looking for you. The middle-aged man in front of him answered casually.

"Who are you?"

"Shui Yixuan. I am Lord Xuan, Jiang Nan. ”

This Xuan master was waiting for the young swordsman opposite to introduce himself, who knew that Cui Sheng suddenly laughed, laughing so much that the corners of his eyes were full of tears, not pretending.

"Why is this little brother laughing, can you tell me?"

"Wait. He gasped, touched his stomach, and then said: "I just think that you are Shui Yixuan and Jiangnan, but in Xiangyang, the land of four wars, don't you think it's very awkward? Also, your name is Jiangnan? is your original name? What does Ling Zun think?"

This Xuan master is deeply cultivated, and he is not angry, but smiled faintly, and said: "It was after I worshiped Shui Yixuan in my early years, the master gave me the word 'south', and his old man hoped that I would sit in the south and look north in the future, and live up to the inheritance of the Han family in the Central Plains." By the way, my surname is Jiang, and I am Jiang Ziya's ginger. ”

Cui Sheng let go of the palm pressed on the handle of the knife, saluted in a proper manner, and said, "The kid is frivolous, and I hope Lord Xuan will forgive me." ”

"I'm blocking you here, you're in a bad mood, I can understand that. He returned the salute again, and then said calmly, "But now, I am entrusted by someone to try my martial arts with my little brother." ”

Cui Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Only try martial arts?"

Jiang Nan smiled: "Otherwise?"

Cui Sheng raised his chin and asked, "What if you win, what if I win?"

Jiang Nan said: "If the little brother wins me, I will listen to the little brother's orders." But I'll talk about what I want first. If I am lucky enough to win one and a half moves, I will also ask the little brother to stay in the pride shop for a few days. ”

Cui Sheng looked at him, but his heart suddenly sank.

The other party came prepared, neither wanted his life, nor chased and fought fiercely, only one game, and the conditions for winning or losing were so simple.

But that's what makes him even more worried.

Not to mention that Shui Yixuan is a well-known gang here in Xiangyang, and those who can be the masters of Xuan are not ordinary people.

The other party has the confidence to keep him, and the confidence to deal with Ye Yunsheng.

Keeping him is to let Ye Yunsheng have one less helper.

Otherwise, why be so polite?

Cui Sheng could see the unparalleled confidence hidden underneath from the other party's politeness.

"Which powerful leader on the rivers and lakes can invite the Xuan Lord of Shui Yixuan to take action in person, just for me, an unknown little person?"

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Please forgive Jiang, I can't tell me." ”

"Understood. ”

"Please. ”

Cui Sheng slowly pulled out the blade of the sword, and saw Jiang Nan holding the sword pile, the tip of the sword pointed at his feet, and he was no longer polite, and went up directly.

The two made a move, and they had already swapped places, Cui Sheng had just turned around where Jiang Nan was standing before, and faced Jiang Nan, who was also turning to face each other-behind Cui Sheng, the people of Shui Yixuan, who had originally followed, retreated to both sides and released the space behind him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his internal strength was not as good as Jiang Nan's, so he wanted to have some advantages in sword skills, and his moves were even more carefully calculated.

When I was young, I was mixed in the rivers and lakes, and I was able to enter the Stone Gang, and I learned the true internal skills of the gang "Stone Heart Method", which is not as good as the mastery of the big school, but it is not weaker.

Compared with the internal cultivation, he is much more messy in his knife skills, anyway, when he meets a famous teacher, he worships it, and if he can't learn it, he steals it, and he was almost killed by others several times...... His sword technique can be said to be hard-won in every move.

The two moved quickly, fought against each other, and fought for more than a dozen hands, Cui Sheng had already changed four sets of knife techniques, the moves were fierce, the knife was bold, and he was upright and fearless, but even so, he did not take advantage of it.

Jiang Nan's swordsmanship came from Shui Yixuan, "Falling Flower Thirty-two Style", and in his hands, he made it out, without the slightest fire, soft and light like water, and dissolved Cui Sheng's sword momentum.

After more than 20 moves, Cui Sheng had already taken seven steps back, his feet were slightly floating, and he couldn't hold the pile anymore.

Jiang Nan pulled out a sword again, and the blade that was cut out was lifted upward, and the empty door in front of him was wide open. The opponent's sword momentum reverberate, and sure enough, it stabbed at him in the middle palace, and at this moment the defeat was decided and could not be saved.

But even Jiang Nan didn't expect that Cui Sheng didn't look at the sword blade that stabbed at his chest at all, and suddenly pulled down the raised blade and the internal strength of his whole body.

It is not uncommon to make a move, the "loud sound" in "Righteous Rush to the Sky Sword Method".

Although it was unexpected, Jiang Nan's skills were superb, and at the last moment, he reversed the hilt, the blade of the sword sank, the hilt was raised, the long sword was erected vertically, and the end of the hilt was used to block Cui Sheng's blade, and the clever force unloaded the chopped blade aside, and then turned the sword body, and the sharp tip of the sword bounced up, pointing right at Cui Sheng's throat.

The chill of this sword blade penetrated through the skin and penetrated deep into the bone marrow, but in the end, it was merciful to his subordinates, and there was still a trace of leeway-as he said before, he came just to test his martial arts.

In the eyes of others, just seeing Jiang Nan dancing with a beautiful sword with a long sword in his hand, he blocked Cui Sheng's powerful straight slash, and then pointed at the other party, winning easily.

"Little brother, what's the trouble, I'd rather lose both, and die together than lose a move, and live here for some time. ”

"You don't have to die. ”

"So, are you going to help your friend with a wound?" Jiang Nan showed a moving look, took back his sword, and retreated.

In fact, he didn't need an answer to this question.

At the same time that Cui Sheng made the last move, the answer was already vividly expressed in this person.
