When Liu Chen heard the news, he led everyone to the bow of the boat to watch, and when he saw so many water thieves appearing on the river, he was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth. When he was the governor of Jingzhou, he also arrested water pirates, but there were only three or five of them, so how could he have ever seen such a battle? Moreover, it is unknown whether these water thieves have a large number of back-ups hidden in Dongting Lake, so he can't help but blame the boss of the boat, thinking that he should not stop the boat, and directly rely on the tall advantage of the building ship to crash into it, or he may be able to break a way.

The boat boss smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't you know, if it is an ordinary pirate ship, even if it is twice as much, I will directly crash into it, and I don't have to pay attention to them at all." But these water thieves are different, you see these small boats are called 'walking boats', each boat is ten people paddling, the most fast, the big ships can not hit the big boats, but the 'walking boats' can get close to the big boats to attack, scuttle the boat and burn, do everything. Look at the larger ship, named 'Meng Chong', wrapped in raw cowhide, painted with special paint, fireproof and arrow-proof, divided into two layers, more than a dozen people paddle on the lower floor, and there are crossbow arrow holes on the upper floor, which can attack from a distance, and are equipped with sails, and the speed is extremely fast. The main thing is a huge iron spike in front, which hits it, and the ship is destroyed immediately. Looking at the flag hoisted on the other party's boat, it should be the boat of the Dongting Gang, this gang was born in Dongting, grew up in the Yangtze River, and has excellent water and boat skills. Fortunately, they are just seeking money, and they have no other evil deeds, and they have a good reputation in the underworld, so let's see if they can negotiate and spend money. ”

Liu Chen nodded and said, "If this matter can be resolved safely, that would be the best." ”

Liu Jiajun, Jiaqi and other young swordsmen were very unimpressed, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.

Liu Jiajun said to his father: "Father, don't panic, these clowns just use the children to practice swords, you just wait and see!" Song Muyu also wanted to take this opportunity to show her skills in front of everyone in order to win the favor of her sister and her family. Even Liu Jiaqi felt that these underworld thieves were vulnerable under my famous and decent men. Only Shi Wuxing was silent.

After a while, a group of water thieves climbed onto the deck with their flying claws, and when they got up, they didn't make any movement, but just stood on both sides, as if waiting for the arrival of the leader. Meng Chong approached, and two more came to the deck. The first person was a big man, a head taller than ordinary people, and his naked upper body exposed muscles like iron bumps. Holding an oar made of iron, with each step, the iron oar hit the ground, and the shaking building boat rattled. The second person was the opposite of the first person, with a thin and withered body, a pair of water-splitting Emei thorns at the waist, and he followed silently behind him when he landed. After boarding the boat, the thin man first glanced at the whole room, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he walked to the side of the boat and made a gesture at the man standing on the deck.

There was no superfluous movement, Meng Chong Deck flew up like a big bird and went straight to the ship, and when he reached a certain height, his right hand flicked the boat and gently landed on the deck of the ship, giving people the feeling of holding on to his own stairs and stepping upstairs in one step. This light skill immediately shocked everyone, you must know that the light skills of the few people present can reach half the height of this person at most, and this person seems to have spare strength, everyone's eyes can't help but look at him, wanting to see what kind of person is so clever in light skills.

To everyone's surprise, it was just a young man who looked no more than twenty years old. The man patted his robe as if he had done something insignificant, walked closer, and saluted everyone with a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry for delaying your trip." Little brother has made amends here first!"

The crowd was amazed.

The young man said again: "I don't know which one is Liu Chen and Lord Liu?" Liu Chen had no choice but to step forward. The young man said: "Chen Tianding in the Lower Dongting." The other two are the eight masters of the gang - Jiang Quan, the water divider, and Zhang Aniu, the nine masters. I heard that Lord Liu went to Beijing to take up a high post, so I came to see him off!"

Liu Chen hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be, thinking that you are the first salute and then the soldier!

Sure enough, Chen Tianding's tone changed: "Lord Liu is the most sympathetic to the people's feelings in Jingzhou, passing by my Dongting realm today, can you also reward my subordinates with two taels of silver?"

Liu Chen thought that it seemed that he could use money to buy peace as the boat boss said, but he was relieved at the moment, but he was worried that the other party's lion would open his mouth, and hurriedly asked: "Young man, please speak, Liu will do his best, I am afraid that Liu will have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

Chen Tianding laughed and said: "Lord Liu is too modest, as the saying goes, 'Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver', not to mention that Lord Liu has been in Jingzhou for ten years, and he knows the way of 'water is clear, there is no fish'." Rest assured, Master often puts on his lips the phrase 'not too much', but I have taken it to heart. Chen Tianding's master is the underworld tycoon, the leader of the Dongting Gang "Dragon King" Ning Changfeng, with a hand of "Yanyang Knife Technique" to fight all over the waters of the Yangtze River invincible, what is even more rare is that his people are good at dancing with long sleeves, left and right, and founded single-handedly

"Dongting Gang". Ning Changfeng has no heirs, Chen Tianding is the only apprentice, he is very favored, and Tianding also lives up to expectations, regardless of martial arts and strategies, he is a superior asset, and he vaguely becomes the best candidate for the next gang leader.

Chen Tianding stretched out a finger, "I'm Dongting to help five thousand Erlang, two taels per person." A total of 10,000 taels!"

Liu Chen was secretly happy when he heard this, the money he had scavenged over the years had already exceeded one million, and in addition to the cost of doing some work in Beijing in the early stage, there were 500,000 taels of gold and silver on the ship this time, and only 10,000 taels of silver, which was simply a drop in the bucket!

Just as he was about to beckon the butler to come up with 10,000 taels of silver to settle the matter, he suddenly heard a person shouting: "Duh! Bold Shui Kou, the blue sky and the white sun, the bright and clear, dare to besiege the official ships, extort money, and still have the royal law? If it is on weekdays, it will be enough, today I wait for the heroes of Wudang and Emei Baidao to be here, and we will not obediently tie up our hands and arrest them?"

When Chen Tianding heard this, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his hands were spread, revealing an exaggerated and inexplicable expression, and the water thieves were amused to laugh in unison. Liu Chen looked back and saw that it was his precious son who made the voice of justice. I saw him pressing the sword in his hand, carrying two young heroes, and walked forward with righteousness. Liu Jiaqi, who was also gearing up, didn't follow at this moment for some reason, just stayed aside with a slightly red face, and swept Chen Tianding, who was like a river, graceful, handsome, and even with a hint of evil smile from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

It is no wonder that Liu Jiajun is so confident, he has never had an opponent in Jingzhou because of his father. Second, the Wudang faction is an important sect in the Baidao martial arts, with many disciples and strong strength. Master, the Morning Wind Dao Leader, is the leader of the Wudang faction. These rustic thieves usually rely on the strength of the crowd, and if they fight alone, they will not have a triad under their hands. Chen Tianding is just a little better at light skills, and looking at his hanging river, his kung fu must be embroidered with fists. He has his own wishful thinking: if he can catch a few water thieves in Beijing today, the court will inevitably reuse himself, and he will need his father to beg people everywhere for help?

All this was seen by Shen Chaixing, who was standing in the crowd, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, thinking that although his courage as a temporary master was commendable, he was just beyond his strength. If you start with Chen Tianding, you can't do three tricks. couldn't help but enter the role of "scholar" and worry about him. You must know that Shen Chaixing's martial arts at the moment are not easy to comment, the situation is complicated, but his eyesight is definitely first-class.

The most angry person at the moment is Liu Chen. In his eyes, a good deal was ruined by his son, so that now he has to use a knife and a gun, and he suddenly became angry, turned to his son and shouted: "Don't retreat yet! But he knew in his heart that both officialdom and rivers and lakes pay attention to the "two words of face", and Chen Tianding knows this well. If his son challenges Chen Tianding with the rules of the rivers and lakes, of course, there is nothing to blame, because at the same time, he is a martial artist. But now it has become a dispute between officials and bandits, and there is no room for maneuver on either side. However, Liu Chen also has a fluke, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Wudang, Emei are all well-known sects of Baidao martial arts, maybe these children can really capture the thief and capture the king, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

Chen Tianding is such a shrewd person, his eyes swept the thoughts in everyone's hearts, and he had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight, thinking that it seemed that it would not work if he did not stand up, and someone should shed some blood. Thinking of this, he said to Liu Jiajun with a smile: "This benevolent brother is Xuanang, I don't know if he was born in Wudang or Emei?

Liu Jiajun said proudly: "Young master, I was born in Wudang, and my family teacher is in the morning and down. As for which hand I wield the sword, you'll know in a moment. ”

Chen Tianding smiled and said, "Okay, the famous disciple is really arrogant! I wonder if Brother Ren dares to make a bet with me?"

Liu Jiajun said disdainfully: "Draw a line!"

Chen Tianding said: "Within ten moves, I will cut off your sword hand." Everyone was stunned, Liu Jiajun was hesitating, and Chen Tianding said again: "I am the only one on our side, and the three of you will come together." I can't cut off your sword-holding hand within ten moves, or if I die under your three-person sword, count me as losing, leave immediately, and send you away. Then he turned to Jiang Quan and Zhang Aniu and said: "Eighth Uncle and Ninth Uncle will sweep the formation for me, and you are not allowed to make any move, otherwise you will serve the rules! If I die, I am not allowed to retaliate, and I will send them away." At the end, the tone was stern, and the two nodded yes. The crowd dispersed and cleared the grounds.

Chen Tianding was originally a little timid, but the other party was so supportive, he thought that he would wait for me to kill you first. Rushing at Song Muyu, the two of them attacked Chen Tianding with their swords. Although Shi Wuxing felt that it was inappropriate, the situation was beyond his control, so he had no choice but to draw his sword and bet behind the two.

Liu Jiajun stepped forward with his left foot half a step, the long sword shook out of the sword, and a move "Thousand Mountains Competition" rushed to Chen Tianding's throat and chest, Song Muyu was not far behind, and a move of the Emei faction's "flying stream" stabbed towards Chen Tianding's lower abdomen, and the two of them didn't leave their hands when they came up, they were all moves, and they all wanted to kill Chen Tianding first and make a name for themselves.

Chen Tianding didn't dodge, his hands went up and down, drew a perfect circle, and immediately broke into front of the two, and the two long swords passed by. At the same time, his left foot supported the ground and his right foot kicked Liu Jiajun's knee. If you are trampled on, your knees will be crushed immediately. Liu Jiajun could only take a step back, and at the same time pick up the long sword again. Chen Tianding responded to the enemy empty-handed, but gave full play to the advantage of hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Jiajun's temporary retreat left a gap on Song Muyu's left side, Chen Tianding seized the opportunity to tap his right foot slightly, and threw himself towards Song Muyu, and at the same time stretched out two fingers of his right hand to "two dragons playing with pearls" and slashed at Song Muyu's eyes. Song Muyu's right hand sword cut back at Chen Tianding's neck. Liu Tianding's four fingers of his left hand gently brushed the wrist of Song Muyu's right hand holding the sword, feeling like a pianist who was intoxicated by the rhythm was gently stroking the strings with his fingers - "waving the pipa".

Shen Chaixing, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, praised it in his heart when he saw this. You must know that Shen Chaixing's martial arts experience is different, and most people practice step by step from low to high. He is different, he directly entered the world of martial arts from a very high starting point, and the highest level of martial arts practiced by others was from martial arts to Taoism, but he entered martial arts from Taoism. This is like a scholar who first understands the mysteries of heaven and earth, then studies the sub-history scriptures, and finally learns to write and write. This is against common sense and impossible to succeed, but Shen Chaixing took such a path unconsciously. The original intention of the monk who passed down the exercises was not to let him practice martial arts, but to practice this exercise may save his life. Therefore, Shen Chaixing was very interested in Chen Tianding's subtle moves, he could already judge the following moves from Chen Tianding's tricks combined with the surrounding situation, but he didn't know the name. It's like two Go masters playing against each other, and the other side can always immediately come up with the opponent's next few moves or even a dozen moves after each move. So Shen Chaixing's mouth whispered: "Sword, lower abdomen ••••••"

Sure enough, Chen Tianding's fingers flicked Song Muyu's right wrist, Song Muyu felt that his right hand was like being struck by lightning, and an electric current passed from his wrist through his right hand to his whole body, and suddenly half of his body was paralyzed, and his right hand was loosened, the sword was taken away by Chen Tianding, and his lower abdomen was in severe pain, and he was kicked by Chen Tianding.

Just after three moves, Chen Tianding grabbed the sword and injured people only for a moment, but it gave people the feeling of being unhurried. Only Shen Chaixing can understand that Chen Tianding's martial arts have reached a very high level, and each move is the most in line with the situation at the time, there is no superfluity, no detours, so it looks so chic and natural. Immediately interested in Chen Tianding, I can't wait to go down and compete with Chen Tianding now. Shen Chaixing's mentality is different from that of ordinary people, there is no confusion of life and death, everything is an illusory game.

Shi Wuxing, who was in the back formation, stepped out to catch the injured Song Muyu, and was taken aback in his heart. He had seen Song Muyu's martial arts, although he was a little frivolous, but in all fairness, he was also at the upper middle level among the younger generation, and he was actually defeated by three moves in the case of two enemies, and this person's martial arts were definitely not under the master of the morning wind. Thinking of this, I no longer bothered with the idea that I was disdainful of the widows, but how to keep Liu Jiajun's right hand in the remaining seven moves. Thinking of this, it was also a move "Thousand Mountains Competition" to stab Chen Tianding.

It is also a move of the Wudang faction's "Thousand Mountains Competition", but in the hands of Shi Wuxing, it is completely different.

I saw Shi Wuxing shaking the long sword lightly, and suddenly the sword aura was strong, and heavy sword shadows surged up, as if attacking and defending, and the teaching was unpredictable. This trend alone makes a judgment. Shen Chaixing was suddenly very interested, thinking that the same move could be very different when used by mediocre hands and masters. I immediately understood that the so-called "moves" are the essence accumulated by various sects and factions, and they should not be underestimated, and if you have the opportunity, you have to steal a few good ones to take a look.

Chen Tianding showed a solemn expression for the first time, holding the sword in his left hand, shaking it for a moment, his body swayed lightly, and he actually moved to Liu Jiajun's right side in an instant.

Liu Jiajun shouted angrily, and a move of "Wild Flow Hitting Stone" rolled up thousands of swords and attacked Chen Tianding like an angry wave. Liu Jiajun's heart was full of anger, he had just left the realm in Jingzhou, and he was actually despised by an underworld "hair thief", and made a ten-trick contract, and the bet turned out to be his own hand. In the first few moves, the other party had already put down his companion, but he didn't even touch the opponent's side, and at this moment, the opponent finally faced him head-on, how could he think about it, he just wanted to stab Chen Tianding to death with a sword with the fastest move, and then slash a few knives on his always smiling face. However, his reckless attack blocked Shi Wudaunt behind him.

Chen Tianding saw that the goal had been achieved, and in the face of Liu Jiajun's thousands of sword shadows, he was not dodging, and his right hand also held the long sword at the same time, turning into a two-handed sword, his feet stood in a T-shaped step, and he was used to his arms.

"Wow!", Liu Jiajun's sword shadow disappeared, and the hand holding the sword was numb.

"Oooo

"Oh!" On the ninth move, Chen Tianding's long sword cut off the sword in Liu Jiajun's hand, and at the same time, the internal force implied by these swords had invaded Liu Jiajun's meridians, Liu Jiajun suddenly felt numb in his hands and feet, and the internal force disappeared temporarily, but he just stood on the spot with the broken sword in his hand.

At this time, Shi Wudaunt's move "Flying Dragon in the Sky" crossed the top of Liu Jiajun's head, and the long sword went straight to Chen Tianding and slashed. If Chen Tianding held a sword to block, or retreated lightly to avoid it, it would be impossible to cut off Liu Jiajun's arm on the tenth move. Shi Wuxing's move will save the enemy.

Tenth move! Chen Tianding's left hand left the long sword, and his left arm rotated outward towards Shi Wudaunt's long sword. At the same time, he held the sword in his right hand, drew a semicircle and slashed at Liu Jiajun's arm!

Could it be that Chen Tianding wants to use his own hands to win this big gamble? When Shi Wuxing was puzzled, he saw Chen Tianding's signature sly smile, and knew that something was wrong, at this time, the sword momentum was exhausted, and it could not be changed, Shi Wuxing's long sword slashed heavily on Chen Tianding's left arm, "Wow!" made a sound of gold and iron resonance-Shi Wuxing realized that Chen Tianding, who was empty-handed and without weapons, actually hid a pair of stainless steel arm guards, and at the same time, Chen Tianding's long sword was unhindered and slashed towards the right hand of the stunned Liu Jiajun! Liu Jiaqi's brothers and sisters, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, were deeply affectionate, and they made desperate noises when they saw this scene!
