Chapter 753: Heaven and Earth (2)
When Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba appeared at the staircase, the "diners" in the lobby stopped throwing their glasses one after another, and some even couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and touched the sword hidden under the table without a trace.
Almost between the electric light, the noisy inn lobby became silent. The "fake guests" disguised by the disciples of the Lu family all stared at Liu Xunyi who was walking slowly. The few "real guests" at the table who did not know the truth seemed to be startled by the sudden silence, and looked around one by one, at a loss, at a loss.
Because one of the guys at the inn had personally experienced the "turmoil" of the night before, the shopkeeper and the other guys knew that there were several "hard stubbles" living in the store. Therefore, they had expected the anomaly of tonight, and they stopped what they were doing, and gathered together like frightened birds, watching the changes in fear, and not even daring to take a breath of air.
Liu Xunyi turned a blind eye to the Lu family disciples who were about to move, and from beginning to end, his eyes never left the back of the peaceful man in the corner.
At this moment, almost all the eyes of everyone in the lobby were on Liu Xunyi, but Lu Tingxiang sat with his back to him, ignoring the changes around him.
Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba walked through the table of guests, and one figure after another slowly got up from all directions, it was Sikong Zhu, Ding Ao, Dong Xiao'er, Lu Yao and others.
"It's just a matter of alarming the head of the Jiangnan Lu Mansion to go out in person, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune?" What's the matter? Could it be that Lu Gongzi is worried that he will be lonely in the next place?"
Lu Tingxiang raised his eyes to look at Liu Xunyi, and through his slightly pale face and slightly rickety figure, it was not difficult to guess that his injuries had not healed and he was not in good shape.
"Presumably, a turmoil in Yunya Town has left Your Excellency physically and mentally exhausted, and you have not been able to recover yet. Lu Tingxiang pretended to be sorry, and then pointed to the chair opposite, "Please take a seat!"
Liu Xunyi didn't twist either, sat down short, and did not shy away from meeting his eyes.
Feng Tianba stood behind Liu Xunyi and watched carefully, his right hand clutching the hilt of the knife, and at some point his palm was already overflowing with sweat.
"Today, should I call you Liu Zhifan, or Lord Liu?" Lu Tingxiang slowly pushed the glass of wine that had already been poured in front of Liu Xunyi, with a smile on his face.
"Lu Gongzi is not the first person to tease him. Liu Xunyi looked at the wine with layers of ripples, but he didn't have the slightest intention of tasting it. In his opinion, the wine in the cup is like his own heart, up and down, rippling endlessly.
"Really?" Lu Tingxiang smiled meaningfully, "That'...... I hope Lu is the last. ”
Lu Tingxiang insinuated, and without waiting for Liu Xunyi to answer, Feng Tianba had already preemptively asked: "Is Gongzi Lu threatening the imperial court officials?"
"Your Excellency is ......" Lu Tingxiang raised his eyes to look, couldn't help frowning slightly, and hesitated, "Captain Feng?"
"Childe, he is no longer the Feng Duwei of the Quanzhou battalion, and now he should be called Feng Zhutou. Lu Yao took the opportunity to sneer.
"Thanks to your Lu family, I am not Feng Zhutou now, but the head of the Xiangfu's guards. Feng Tianba refuted in a deep voice.
"The Xiangfu guards?" Lu Yao said sneeringly, "Isn't it a guard dog who guards the door and guards the courtyard for others?"
"Haha......"
With Lu Yao's provocation, there was a burst of laughter in the hall.
Lu Tingxiang smiled slightly, pushed another glass of wine to Feng Tianba, who was pale, and said, "Whether it's a captain or a head catcher, everyone has a good acquaintance." Lu also toasts you, Commander Feng, don't come to harm!"
Feng Tianba's temperament was far less calm than Liu Xunyi's, and in the face of Lu Tingxiang's hypocrisy, instead of pandering, he mercilessly waved his hand and slammed the wine glass to the ground.
"Smack!"
The shattering of the wine glass was like a signal, causing all the disciples of the Lu family who were ready to attack to get up one after another, raising their eyebrows one by one, staring at Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Hmph!" Feng Tianba drew his knife out of its sheath, and the cold blade pointed directly at Lu Tingxiang, who was not shocked, and said with a contemptuous smile, "This is the wine you toast us?"
Seeing this, Sikong Zhu's eyes were ruthless, and he flashed to Feng Tianba's side with a move, and his five fingers in the void turned into claws, directly taking Feng Tianba's throat.
"Stop!"
Lu Tingxiang ignored the blade that was close at hand, and spit out a sentence lightly, which made Sikong Zhu's face change, and he hurriedly retreated.
"Since it is a toast, Brother Liu should understand Lu's good intentions. Lu Tingxiang looked at Liu Xunyi, who had a solemn expression, and persuaded, "As the saying goes, 'Those who know the times are handsome'." Since the first time I met Brother Liu in Quanzhou, I have always appreciated you very much, especially for Brother Liu's profound righteousness. Tonight, Lu hopes that Brother Liu will never toast or eat...... Eat and drink. ”
After that, Lu Tingxiang took the initiative to stretch out his hand, pushed the wine glass in front of Liu Xunyi a few points closer to him again, and said: "It is good for everyone to solve this matter calmly." ”
Liu Xunyi glanced at the wine glass and asked, "Dare to ask Lu Gongzi how to drink the toast, and how to drink the punishment wine?"
"I respect you as a man, although the Central Plains Martial Arts can't tolerate you, I won't fall into the ground. Lu hopes to ...... Brother Liu can end it on his own and go on the road decently. In the future, the foolish brother will burn paper on incense for the Liu brothers during the New Year's holidays. ”
Lu Tingxiang's words and attitudes are all affectionate and sincere. If Liu Xunyi hadn't known who he was, I am afraid that he would have been deceived by his hypocrisy. 7 Q
"As for the punishment ...... drinking" Lu Tingxiang smiled bitterly, and turned his gaze to the menacing crowd, although he did not say it explicitly, the meaning was self-evident.
"Lu Tingxiang, Lord Liu is now the fourth lieutenant of the Eastern Mansion, and he is also the emperor's hand-appointed envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to him, you are an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. Feng Tianba threatened, "Don't forget, Xu Guangsheng is dead, and Quanzhou is no longer a place where your Lu family can do whatever they want......"
"Feng Tianba, it's not your turn to intervene here!" Sikong Zhu said angrily, "As for the imperial court that you have in mind, it is even more riddled and crumbling. Wait for the court to support you, in the next life!"
"You ......"
"The rivers and lakes and the imperial court have always been well water and river water, tonight I only need Liu Xunyi alone, as for you ......" Lu Tingxiang looked at Feng Tianba casually, and said lazily, "Lu doesn't like to kill innocents in vain, and I also hope that Commander Feng won't embarrass me." ”
"Bang! bang!"
Liu Xunyi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly clapped his hands and praised Lu Tingxiang, and sighed: "He is worthy of being the 'first gentleman in martial arts', and even the means of killing people are different." is also taking my life, others only know how to shout and kill, only Lu Gongzi can drink at the same table with his sworn enemy, talk and laugh, and even ...... Calling brothers and sisters. Others only know how to punish their lives, but Lu Gongzi likes to take the sword sideways, first punish the heart, and then punish the life, and finally can take the head of the lower level without blood. Admiration!
was exposed by Liu Xunyi's intentions, and the smile on Lu Tingxiang's face gradually solidified.
"It's just ......" Liu Xunyi changed his words and complained unwillingly, "Isn't it too child's play to give away his head in the next place just a few words of rhetoric from Lu Gongzi? In the same way, I'm sorry for the other heroes who want to take the lower rank. There is no good thing in the world to sit back and enjoy, and if you want to get something, you must pay a corresponding price. In Xia Bucai, although a head is not worth a few dollars, he wants to take it...... At least a few dozen lives in exchange!"
At this end, Liu Xunyi's soft eyes suddenly burst out with a terrifying cold light. At the same time, the hungry Infinite Sword was slammed on the table with a "snap", and the wine glass in front of him was shaken up two feet high.
In an instant, Liu Xunyi's sword was like a dragon, angry and angry, a silver light flew through the air, splitting the wine glass from it, and the crystal wine droplets turned into a water snake, spitting out the "poison letter" and rushing straight to Lu Tingxiang's face.
"Carving insect skills!"
Lu Tingxiang, who was disdainful, secretly used his internal strength, his right hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and the meandering water snake froze in mid-air, condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally shattered into countless ice powder with a "bang", which slowly scattered between Liu and Lu like smoke and fog.
"Considering that you are injured, I didn't want to take advantage of others' danger, but I didn't expect you to distinguish between good and bad!"
Facing Lu Tingxiang's sanctimonious appearance, Liu Xunyi's heart became more and more disdainful, and he sneered: "Does Lu Gongzi not want to take advantage of people's danger, or don't you want to be talked about?"
Sikong Zhu reprimanded: "Liu Xunyi, you were also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, my son-in-law was kind enough to let you end it on your own, and you died a decent death, but you spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it is really hopeless!"
"It's ridiculous! You were planning to kill me, but in the end you dressed up as a bodhisattva who saved the suffering, and instead reduced me to a villain who didn't know what to do. If I don't resist desperately, will I still be grateful to you?"
Feng Tianba waited for an opportunity to echo: "What 'the first gentleman of martial arts'?
Feng Tianba's words undoubtedly touched Lu Tingxiang's scales, only to see him wave his hand to interrupt Sikong Zhu, who wanted to sneer at each other, and then drank the wine in the cup, and put it on the table with a "bang", and the table under the wine glass gradually spread out terrifying cracks like spider webs.
"Click!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening loud bang, and the wooden table instantly split apart and shattered into pieces.
At the same time, countless sharp stubbles roared towards Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba like a raging storm, and the frightened Feng Tianba, who was caught off guard, hurriedly waved his knife to resist.
It's a pity that his martial arts are not proficient, and he was difficult to parry for a while, so that his face, hands, and body were full of wooden thorns, although they were not fatal, but they were itchy and unbearable.
On the other hand, Liu Xunyi, at the same time as the table collapsed, the Wuji Sword had already danced an impermeable aura barrier in front of him, stopping all the thousands of wood thorns, and did not let go of any of the "fish that slipped through the net".
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"
Lu Tingxiang snorted coldly, raised his hands in the air, inhaled and spit out, and dozens of cups and saucers floating in the air shattered one after another, turning into a "sharp blade" with a handle, shooting at Liu Xunyi and Feng Tianba with the momentum of driving thunder and lightning.
"Ah......h
"Be careful!"
Before Feng Tianba's call fell, Liu Xunyi's left hand had already grabbed his shoulder, and while he pulled back, he swung his sword with his right hand and weaved a sword net in mid-air, only to hear a "sonorous sound" like a gong scattering beans echoing in the inn lobby.
"Hugh let Liu Xunyi escape!"
Lu Tingxiang commanded, with a slight step under his feet, and even the person with the chair flew back a few feet away, watching the cat and mouse show with great interest.
Sikong Zhu, Ding Ao, Dong Xiao'er, and Lu Yao, who couldn't wait, flew over, protecting Lu Tingxiang behind them, and at the same time, they also blocked Liu Xunyi's retreat.
