Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Broken Knife of Nine Fingers
As the drums in the ring died down, everyone's eyes turned to the bookcase on the side.
Who will be the first to walk over and sign the paperwork of life and death?
Everyone was watching, only to see a middle-aged man in yellow slowly walk out of the crowd, this person carried a single knife, went straight to the front of the bookcase, waved the pen, strode towards the ring, walked halfway to glance back at the heads of the various factions sitting in the Taishi chair, the corners of his mouth flashed a sneer of disdain, obviously feeling resentful that he was not assigned a seat.
There was a whisper in the audience immediately, and the man in yellow clasped his hands into fists and said, "Gongsun Zhao of the Golden Dao Hall, which friend came to Taiwan to teach?"
Shanxi Golden Knife Hall has become famous in the rivers and lakes in recent years, as the right protector of the Golden Knife Hall, Gongsun Zhao's Golden Dragon Knife Method should not be underestimated.
As soon as the words fell, a figure jumped into the ring, it was none other than Shi Donglai, the second leader of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau.
Shi Donglai hugged Wan Dao with both hands: "Shi Donglai in the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, I have heard for a long time that the Golden Dragon Knife Technique is very powerful, and I have come to ask Gongsun to protect the Dharma a few moves." Yan Yu took out a spear from the weapon rack on one side, shook it slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Please!"
Gongsun Zhao stretched out his hand and drew a single knife in his hand without saying much, and the single knife was swung out in the wind, and he went straight to Shi Donglai to cut off his left shoulder. Shi Donglai shook the spear and shook the blade, and pointed a backhand shot at Gongsun Zhao, Gongsun Zhao sneered, his figure flashed, avoiding this shot, and the knife flashed with several energies that had shrouded Shi Donglai's body.
Shi Donglai was taken aback when he saw this, and he didn't think much about it, he slipped back five feet under his feet, and the spear shook out several spear flowers, trying to break through Gongsun Zhao's sword wind barrier. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zhao expected him to make such a move, and with a long roar, he volleyed up, and a dazzling cold light was drawn with a single knife in his hand, directly hitting Shi Donglai's throat!
Shi Donglai has heard for a long time that the Golden Dragon Knife Method is the unique learning of Zuo Yongtai, the head of the Golden Knife Hall, and when he saw it today, it was really extraordinary, it was originally an inch long and an inch strong, and the spear in his hand should have the advantage, but after a few moves, instead of taking advantage of it, he was exhausted by the opponent's attack.
Seeing that Gongsun Zhao's blade suddenly arrived, Shi Donglai's spear hurriedly retreated and returned to move back to open the blade, but Gongsun Zhao's body was surprisingly fast, and before he raised his gun, the person had already reached him, and punched out according to the flaw in Shi Donglai's chest, hitting him in the chest.
Shi Donglai snorted, took more than ten steps back, and almost fell out of the ring.
Gongsun Zhao retracted the knife momentum and arched his hand: "Accept it!" Shi Donglai tried his best to stabilize his mind and withdrew from the ring with a shameful face.
Gongsun Zhaoqi opened victoriously, and his face couldn't help showing a hint of pride.
Lu Yong, who was watching the battle on the east side of the ring, coughed dryly and said loudly: "The first Golden Dao Hall Gongsun Zhao won." ”
"Poor Dao will meet you. As he spoke, a figure crossed the crowd and flew into the ring.
The person who came was Yuan Tianqi, the head of the Nine-Fingered Dao, who had a good relationship with Shi Donglai, and he was naturally angry when he saw Shi Donglai lose the battle in the audience. I saw him smile slightly and said: "Gongsun Dharma Protector Sword Technique is really exquisite, and Yuan Tianqi also wants to ask for a few tricks." ”
Gongsun Zhao slashed and said coldly: "Then please make a move." ”
As soon as Yuan Tianqi stretched out his hand, a green flash of the ancient sword behind him was already in his hand, and with a mistake under his feet, the sword stabbed straight towards Gongsun Zhaomian Door.
Gongsun Zhao knew that it was powerful, and immediately used the exquisite moves of the Golden Dragon Sword Technique to face the battle, and in the sound of sword collision, the two immediately fought fiercely in one place.
But seeing the swords and swords splashing everywhere, the two of them have been fighting for thirty or forty rounds in less than half a cup of tea, and they can only see the exclamations and cheers of everyone in the audience.
Yuan Tianqi saw that Gongsun Zhao's sword technique was still not chaotic after fighting for a long time, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, if he couldn't take down this person as soon as possible, it would definitely be unfavorable to him if he fought for a long time.
Gongsun Zhao saw that his cuffs bulged instantly, and he heard the faint sound of the dragon roaring from the ancient sword in Yuan Tianqi's hand, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
But seeing Yuan Tianqi stop drinking, "click"-
The steel knife in Gongsun Zhao's hand was actually cut in two by Yuan Tianqi's sword, Gongsun Zhao only felt a shock to his arms, and Yuan Tianqi's sword was already across his neck.
Yuan Tianqi withdrew his sword in his hand and said, "Offended." Gongsun Zhao turned around and got out of the ring with an angry face, which immediately caused a commotion in the audience, and many people thought that the pine pattern ancient sword in Yuan Tianqi's hand was a treasure blade, even if he won, it would be a martial art.
Yuan Tianqi also knew that winning was not glorious, so he stood in the ring silently.
In the second game, Yuan Tianqi, the head of the Nine Fingers, won. Lu Yong announced the result loudly, but no one came to the stage to face the battle for a long time.
Obviously, everyone is afraid of the sword in Yuan Tianqi's hands, his sword is as sharp as clay, and whoever wants to come to power at this time must first prepare for the blade to be cut off.
Lu Yong shouted three times in a row, but no one came to the stage, so he had to announce loudly: "The winner of the first competition is Yuan Daochang." ”
Immediately after the start of the second competition, the two on the stage were fighting inseparably, and Xiao Yin, who was watching the battle from the audience, looked around and never saw Long Shiqiu's figure, and was already anxious, and then turned around to see the ghost Xiao with an indifferent look, and stomped his feet angrily.
How did she know that Long Shiqiu had already changed his appearance at this time, and he was disguised as a beggar and blended into the beggar gang disciples.
Long Shiqiu didn't pay attention to the fight between you and me in the ring, he just wanted to find the location of the Yuding Dart Bureau, he searched left and right for a long time and didn't see half a familiar figure, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.
While hesitating, a fast horse galloped over, Long Shiqiu drilled out of the crowd and looked at it, the rider on the horse was none other than Xiao Wensheng, the fourth master of the Yuding Dart Bureau.
I saw that Xiao Wensheng's clothes were messy and panting, he looked inside outside the crowd, lowered his head and sighed, and was about to turn his horse away, when Long Shiqiu had already caught up behind him and asked, "Fourth Brother Xiao, where are you going?"
Xiao Wensheng turned around and glanced at the beggar in front of him, always feeling that the voice was so familiar, and frowned: "Your Excellency?"
Long Shiqiu stretched out his hand to wipe half of the sludge off his face, and said with a smile: "In Xia Long Shiqiu, why did you forget me after not seeing Fourth Brother Xiao for a few days?"
Xiao Wensheng suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Long Daxia, you ...... Why are you dressed up like this? ”
Long Shiqiu said: "It's a long story, let's not talk about my business, I see that Fourth Brother Xiao looks so flustered, what happened?"
Xiao Wensheng said with a heavy face: "Long Daxia, my eldest brother and they are trapped in Mujiabao, and I am thinking about coming to rescue the soldiers, but who will be able to take care of this matter now." ”
Long Shiqiu frowned, and said secretly: Why did the people of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau run to Mujiabao in the past two days? That Mu Family Seven Evil is not a character to mess with, if they are not rescued in time, the people of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau can be said to have gone and have no return.
Long Shiqiu thought of this and hurriedly said to Xiao Wensheng: "Fourth Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”
Xiao Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best, let's leave now." ”
Mujiabao is located in the western suburbs of Yueyang City, the distance is only twenty or thirty miles, and the two of them arrived in less than half an hour.
The two of them straddled their mounts on the hillside and looked into the distance, what a magnificent Mujiabao!
This is a manor, it is like a city, and compared to the city, it probably lacks only a moat.
Eight or nine zhang high city wall on the banner waving, the guard is strict, the gate is all the blue-clothed guards sword and gun, majestic. Looking at this posture, two people, two hundred people may not be able to attack.
Along the way, through Xiao Wensheng's narration, Long Shiqiu learned the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Tang Tianlong and others went to visit last night at the invitation of Mu Mingchi, the lord of Mujiabao Fort, and they didn't come back until this morning.
This morning, Xiao Wensheng went to Mujiabao to find out the truth, but unexpectedly, the people in Mujiabao turned their faces on the spot, saying that the Yuding Dart Bureau and the Youlong Gang were in collusion, and the Mu family had already detained Tang Tianlong and other cadres, and handed them over to the Changle Gang You after the Dongting Conference.
"They actually did such a blatant banditry, and the Yuding Dart Bureau and Mujiabao have always had nothing to do with it, and what they did really puzzled me. Xiao Wensheng sighed.
Long Shiqiu secretly said in his heart: Mujiabao has already formed an alliance with the Changle Gang, and your Jade Ding Dart Bureau is so close to the Youlong Gang at this juncture, how can Mujiabao sit idly by?
Xiao Wensheng saw that Long Shiqiu was silent, and continued: "Long Daxia, what should we do now?"
Long Shiqiu said with a smile: "Fourth Brother Xiao has always been known for being resourceful, so he shouldn't panic when he encounters difficulties." ”
Xiao Wensheng looked at the gate of Mujiabao from afar, sighed and said, "My eldest brother is now uncertain about their life and death, and my heart is really ......chaotic."
Long Shiqiu raised his hand and said, "Fourth Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry, since they have detained Mr. Tang and them with such inferior means, we have no choice but to go straight and deal with them with the bandits." ”
Xiao Wensheng was puzzled: "How can you say this?"
Long Shiqiu urged his mount and said, "Wait for me here." The horse kicked dust all the way and went straight to the gate of Mujiabao.
In a moment, Long Shiqiu had already come to the gate of Mujiabao, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the door with his hands behind his back.
"What are you doing when you want to eat?" shouted one of the guards.
Long Shiqiu smiled and said, "You said that I want food, so I naturally came to ask for food." ”
The guard sneered for a while: "There are really people looking for death these days, do you know where this is?"
Long Shiqiu glared and said, "I don't know." ”
The guard shouted: "Then don't you want to get out?" Tell you, this is Mujiabao, and it is also the mansion of Mu Tianhua, the general of Yueyang Mansion, get out quickly, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu, you're welcome." ”
Long Shiqiu smiled slightly, and said secretly: General Mingwei Mu Tianhua, if you don't mention it, it's much easier to do it when you mention it.
