The three of them left the crowd, and the middle-aged man in the green shirt took the lead and led the way. Long Shaoyang saw that although his right leg was disabled and he was limping when he walked, his foot strength did not fall behind at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.

Walking out of the main street, the three of them walked into the alley, the noise was getting farther and farther away, the lights were getting darker and darker, the crutches hit the bluestone slab and made a "click" sound, it looked extremely crisp under the cold moonlight, and the bustling hustle and bustle of the bright light suddenly entered the picture in front of them, as if everything was so illusory just now, people couldn't help but feel like a world apart.

As soon as he walked out of the place less than a stone's throw away, suddenly there were two soft sounds from the top left of the alley, followed by two soft sounds from the top of the right head, obviously a person who practiced martial arts was walking around on the roof.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt coughed and stopped. Long Shaoyang and the brocade-clothed boy also stood in place, holding their breath, one of them put his right hand into his arms, and the other put his right hand on his waist.

I only heard the middle-aged man in the green shirt say loudly: "I don't know which way of friends, since you are here, why don't you show up and see it?"

Long Shaoyang only felt a flash in front of him, and two black figures swept down from a high place, like a leaf falling to the ground, silent. Lined with the cold moonlight, I looked carefully, and saw one person in front of the other behind, surrounding the three of them in the middle, showing a trend of attacking back and forth. The people who came were all dressed in green, covered with black cloth, with their eyes exposed, holding steel knives, and the light of the knives swayed under the reflection of the moonlight, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding darkness, and the situation was very terrifying.

As soon as the person landed on the ground, he didn't ask questions, looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then waved the steel knife and rushed straight towards the three people.

I saw that the man in black in front of him was walking like flying, leaving aside the middle-aged man in green shirt, and slashing straight at the young man in brocade with a knife. At the same time, the black-clothed man behind him flashed his knife and slashed horizontally, and the blade was also pointed at the brocade-clothed boy.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt pressed his right cane to the ground a little harder, and his footsteps slid backwards a few feet, just in front of the brocade-clothed young man, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Long, don't be afraid, my brother is here." He lifted his crutches abruptly and pushed forward, pointing at the chest of the man in black in front of him.

This push is wrapped in a strong wind, full of force, and very powerful. The staff was long and the knife was short, and the man in black in front of him was not in a hurry, and when he saw that he was about to stab him in the chest, he turned to one side, almost sticking to the cane, so that he could miss the head of the cane, and then one was upside down, flashing to the side.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt shook his wrist, flipped up the crutches, and drew an arc, blocking behind the brocade-clothed young man, only to hear the sound of "dang", the fire flickered, and the man in black behind him was slashing at the crutches. It turned out that the crutch was a steel rod, and although it was only the thickness of a thumb, it was made of stainless steel, and it was extremely hard.

The two of them missed, looked at each other, and nodded slightly. The man in black in front suddenly swung his knife and went straight to the middle-aged man in green shirt, and the man in black in the back took the young man in brocade, showing that the man in black in front wanted to drag the middle-aged man in green shirt and make him have no time to separate.

The middle-aged man in the green shirt here saw the steel knife sharpened, hurriedly erected the steel rod, and hit the knife with the staff, and hit the blade of the steel knife. With a sound of "dang", the flames were shining, and the man in black took advantage of the situation to spin the knife, from horizontal to vertical, and the blade was attached to the body of the staff and slashed towards the wrist of the middle-aged man in green shirt. The middle-aged man in the green shirt hurriedly raised the steel rod horizontally, and swung it vigorously to remove the steel knife.

The man in black took advantage of his strength to dissipate his strength, drew his knife and stabbed hard, and the middle-aged man in the green shirt immediately dodged away. The two of them made it fast and fast, and the more they fought, the tighter and tighter they became, and the cold light of the steel knife flew between the two like butterflies through flowers.

The steel rod is longer than the steel knife, one is long, one is short, the so-called "one inch long, one inch strong", the two fight, the farther the natural distance, the more advantageous the steel rod, but now the two are close to each other, the steel rod has become a disadvantage. The middle-aged man in the green shirt gradually slowed down, left and right, and became a defensive position, and the flying light practice was like a dense net, covering the body, obviously it was not easy to get out.

The man in black behind him slashed towards the young man in brocade, only to see that the young man's footsteps were wrong, avoiding the blade, the cold light flashed, and there was already an extra short sword in his hand. The man in black flicked his wrist, and the steel knife changed from chopping to sharpening, and the blade carried the wind and slashed at the young man's chest. The young man hurriedly took a few steps back, and was about to stabilize his body, only to feel a hard object behind him, it turned out that the alley was only six feet wide, he took a few steps back, leaned against the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

The young man stood against the wall, and when he was startled, he broke out in a cold sweat, and was about to call for help, when the blue light flashed, and the steel knife attacked directly. Although he holds a dagger in his hand, as the saying goes, "an inch is short, an inch is dangerous", but at the moment it becomes like an embroidered pillow - useless.

Suddenly, there was a "dang" sound, and an object knocked the steel knife out. At the same time, a man flew in from the stabbing stab, rubbed himself upward, and stretched out his left hand to snatch the steel knife. The man in black was startled, his wrist flicked, and the steel knife slashed horizontally. The man suddenly crouched, avoided the blade above his head, and struck out with his right hand like lightning, and the man in black hurriedly turned over and took a few steps back before he could stand still, but his hands were already empty.

Hearing the sound of "dang", a steel knife fell in front of the man. It turned out that the object in the man's hand hit the wrist of the man in black's right hand, and the man in black was not in a hurry, so in order to save his wrist, he had to "abandon the pawn and protect the car".

Seeing that his fate was on the line, the young man in brocade was dumbfounded for a while, but someone suddenly came to the rescue. Between the lightning and flint, it was like a dream, and when he looked at it, the man was holding a jade flute in his right hand, and it was the young man beside him.

Suddenly, a rapid whistle sounded, and the man in black with the knife fell backwards, leaving aside the middle-aged man in the green shirt, and then flew up, merged with the other man in black, and disappeared into the cold moonlight in a few leaps.

The surroundings fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

The middle-aged man in a green shirt walked quickly to the young man's side, busy inspecting his surroundings. The young man straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Brother Di don't worry, my brother's life is expensive, they can't hurt me." As he spoke, he came to Long Shaoyang, bowed his hand, and said: "Thanks to the rescue of my brother, my brother's life is saved, as the saying goes, I don't thank you for my kindness, and tonight's events must be remembered!"

Long Shaoyang smiled and said: "Helping the needy and helping each other is what people should do, and brother Tai doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The young man continued: "Brother Tai's literary talent is amazing, and his martial arts are also the best among people, and my younger brother admires him." After a trip tonight, I got to know such a civil and military all-rounder as Brother Tai, which is really a blessing. I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"

Long Shaoyang hurriedly said: "Brother Tai has won the award." In Xialong Shaoyang. ”

The young man's face was overjoyed and he said with a smile: "It's really wonderful! The little brother Xiao Minglong also has a dragon character!"

The middle-aged man in the green shirt laughed and interjected: "Tonight you can be described as two dragons meeting." Brother Long, I think this Young Master Long is talented and talented, and he is a rare young man. In that case, I have a proposal, how about you two become Jinlan brothers?"

Xiao Minglong smiled and said happily: "I just have this intention, it's just ...... I don't know what Brother Long thinks?"

Long Shaoyang was also happy, and thought in his heart: "Everything goes well tonight, and it will be natural to bow to you." But he hesitated, "Brother, Long can't ask for it." It's just that you and I, meeting for the first time—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged man in a green shirt, "Hey, Mr. Long's words are wrong, the so-called way of making friends is connected by qi, and you can be covered as before, or you can have white hair as new." I see that my brother is not a layman, so why should he stick to this!"

"What Brother Di said is extremely true! I hope that Brother Tai will not refuse!" the young man said.

Long Shaoyang said happily at the moment: "Thank you Brother Xiao for lifting up!"

The two talked about their years, Long Shaoyang said to himself that this year is the year of the weak crown, and the elder Xiao Minglong is four years old, so he is naturally a brother.

Xiao Minglong turned to the middle-aged man in the green shirt and said, "Brother Di, from now on, I will have two brothers. After speaking, he turned around and said, "The eldest brother is on top, and the younger brother is worshipped." So saying, he bowed down. Long Shaoyang hurriedly returned the salute.

At that moment, the two of them made the soil as incense, used it as incense and candles, worshiped the sky eight times, and became brothers with different surnames.

Xiao Minglong was very happy, took Long Shaoyang's hand, and said, "Come, let me introduce my brother, this is my cousin Xiao Di." ”

Long Shaoyang immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "This Brother Xiao is not only Brother Long's cousin, but also my brother. The elder brother is on top, and he is worshiped by the younger brother. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was already supported by Xiao Di, Long Shaoyang only felt that a calm and thick power flowed out of the other party's hands, which was extremely inconsistent with the thin figure in front of him, and his heart suddenly moved, and said: "Brother Xiao's trick just now "killing two birds with one stone", the dilemma was suddenly dissolved, it is really exquisite!"

Xiao Minglong echoed: "That's it." Unexpectedly, Brother Di has been away from the battlefield for more than ten years, and he is still young. I've heard a lot about my eldest brother's reputation since I was a child, and when I saw it today, it really deserved it!"

"The old things are scattered like autumn clouds, how can there be any reason to start again?" Xiao Di said quietly, "Now it is more prosperous, and it has become lame." Hey, sick and crippled, it's just a matter of survival. As he spoke, he raised his head and let out a long sigh, which seemed to reveal endless sadness.

Xiao Minglong saw that his words had evoked memories from his brother, and he was sad, and he couldn't help but apologize in his heart, and was thinking about how to comfort him. I saw him take a deep breath and exhale, and said, "What's wrong with me, what are you doing to mention this, so that the two younger brothers can laugh!"

Xiao Minglong saw that he was back to normal, his heart was happy, and he was about to divert the topic, but he felt a cold light flashing on the ground in front of him, stepped forward, and picked up something from the ground - it was the steel knife that the man in black dodged upside down and fell to the ground.

Long Shaoyang stepped forward, took the steel knife, carefully examined the front and back of the moonlight, and said, "This is just an ordinary steel knife, and there is nothing special about it. As he spoke, he clamped the blade of the knife, and the handle of the knife turned outward, handing it to Xiao Di.

"I just saw that Brother Long is extraordinary, and he thinks that he also has a lot of research on weapons. Xiao Di took the steel knife with a smile, looked at it carefully, nodded and continued, "In the future, don't ask me about martial arts and weapons, tonight is sudden, and in a hurry, make an exception." Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects, if the Dragon Brothers are interested in these, everyone can learn together!"

Long Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "If it is convenient, you must ask the eldest brother for advice." After a pause, he added: "This steel knife is too ordinary, and there are no other clues, I don't know what the origin of these assassins is?"

Xiao Di has not yet answered. Xiao Minglong had already said: "Who else can there be besides that old thief?" But as far as I can see, he sent two thieves just to scare me, not to really take my life, otherwise, what can two thieves do?" ”

Xiao Di groaned: "You mean, it's my old Taishan?"

Xiao Minglong nodded.

Long Shaoyang was shocked: "This young man is thoughtful and exquisite. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a noise of footsteps at the end of the alley, and as he got closer and closer, a man rode in front of him, leading twenty or thirty people to gallop.

I saw that the person immediately was wearing a brocade robe on the outside, lined with armor, crowned with red tassels and windless, and the people who followed behind were also all clearly armored.

The horse galloped to about two feet in front of the three people, slowed down, and the people who followed behind divided into two teams, galloping, surrounded on all sides, and surrounded Long Shaoyang and the three in the middle.
