The lobby of the Tsai Mansion in the East China Sea.

In the middle of the lobby, there sat a middle-aged man with silver hair and a somewhat fat figure. This person has leopard eyes and tiger forehead, although his expression is ordinary, under closer inspection, it still gives people the illusion of anger.

He is Cai Xiong, known as the first day since the founding of the East China Sea Cai Clan, at the age of twenty, with only one whip, he killed the Thirteen Demons of the East China Sea, shocked the Jianghu martial arts, and pulled the East China Sea Cai's status in the Jianghu martial arts to a new height.

And the price he paid was only two fingers on his left hand.

There are also four people in the lobby, seated on either side. These four people are also members of the Cai clan, the same generation as Cai Xiong, and can be regarded as Cai Xiong's cousin.

These four people, like Cai Xiong, are all tigers and bears, and ordinary people know that they are people who practice martial arts at a glance.

Originally, these five people were all sipping hot tea, and suddenly there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the door, Cai Xiong raised his eyebrows slightly, and put down the teacup, and his four cousins glanced out of the door, and also put down the teacup in their hands.

The one who came in was a young man with a Chinese face, although he was not as tall and straight as his elders, and on closer inspection, he was somewhat similar to Cai Xiong.

This person is Cai Xiong's only son, Cai Gang.

"My nephew has seen several uncles. "This Cai Gang is extremely polite, and the reason why the Cai clan in the East China Sea can dominate the East China Sea is also because of the unity of the clan.

The four of them nodded one after another, and Cai Xiongfang opened his mouth and asked, "Where have you been again?"

Cai Gang said truthfully: "I went hunting in the mountains." ”

"Is there a gain?" Cai Xiong's question was concise and to the point.

"I caught a wild boar, and I got the news that my father had asked the child to come. Cai Gang did not shy away from it, and Cai Xiong was also very satisfied with Cai Gang's answer, which shows that this kid has respect for his elders.

I saw Cai Xiong nodding slightly, and then said: "Two months later, it is the day when the eldest lady of the Divine Sword Gate competes to recruit relatives, for my father knows that you are usually active, but two months is not a long time, you still stay in the courtyard these days, learn more confrontation with a few uncles, learn more from a few brothers, and remember not to be careless." ”

Cai Gang paused, and said, "Yes." ”

Cai Xiong continued: "I heard that this time, Fang Shaoping, the son of the head of the Golden Sword Sect, and Wu Yue, a rising star of the Lei Zhen Sect, will participate in this martial arts competition. That Fang Shaoping's father, Fang Tiantong, studied under the Wind Sword Xue Hua, although his son Fang Shaoping has never made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, but I heard your second uncle say that this Fang Shaoping is also a young genius, and his swordsmanship is so fast that he has surpassed Fang Tiantong, but this Fang Tiantong intends to let him concentrate on sword practice, so he has been hiding it in the snow, and the Golden Sword Gate seems to have some ideas this time. ”

"As for that Wu Yue, it's very similar to me back then. A year ago, he ranged to Da Luojiang, and he was still able to kill the four ghosts of Da Luojiang when he was not good at water, and became famous in one battle. These two are your biggest enemies in this martial arts competition, and they are both good at swordsmanship, these days, my father suggests that you find a brother who is good at swordsmanship, and study the flaws of exquisite swordsmanship. ”

As soon as Cai Xiong finished speaking, his fifth brother Cai Feng said: "Big brother, when you talk about these two people, I still think of one person." The day before yesterday, I passed by Lingnan and stayed in Shangguan Mansion for a night, during which I vaguely heard that Shangguan Feihu, the son of the third room of Shangguan Mansion, was also going to participate. Although this Shangguan Feihu is not famous in the rivers and lakes, the Shangguan family has always had a variety of martial arts paths, and it must not be underestimated. The above two people can still be rehearsed in a targeted manner, but the number of Shangguan Feihu's martial arts paths is unknown. ”

As soon as Cai Feng finished speaking, the other three also discussed.

Cai Xiong was also silent for a while, and then asked: "This Shangguan Mansion has never liked to mix things in the rivers and lakes, let alone talk about any sectarian marriages. Why did you suddenly decide to participate this time?"

Cai Feng said slowly: "I only know that the Shangguan Mansion has a good relationship with the Divine Sword Sect, if this Shangguan Mansion intends to participate, no one can say anything." ”

Cai Xiong frowned slightly: "In this way, this time it is a little more difficult than imagined to recruit relatives by martial arts." But speaking of which, at most, only these three people may become obstacles, we don't care what the number of Shangguan Feihu is for the time being, Fang Shaoping and Wu Yue, these two juniors are good at fast swords, this, just now, you have to pay attention to the target, find a way to restrain it. ”

Cai Xiong took the trouble to emphasize it again, and Cai Gang nodded respectfully.

......

On an official road on the outskirts of Kyoto, Lin Daqi pulled a four-wheeled bicycle slowly, on which lay his grandfather's body, wrapped in black cloth.

It was morning, but the sun was shining brightly early. Lin Daqi took one step at a time, and although he was already sweating, he still gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

He only remembered that his grandfather told him that after people die, they always have to say goodbye to their hometowns. And if he dies outside, then he needs to walk back slowly, so that he is sincere to Mother Earth, who gave birth to him and raised him.

So Lin Daqi chose this wooden car, just to let his grandfather walk slower. He also carried a bag of copper plates on his back, which was given by Boss Wu in a panic. Boss Wu's inn was also closed after he left, because he was afraid that the government would find trouble.

Lin Daqi was full of anger, but unfortunately there was nowhere to cast it. When passing by a teahouse, he felt very thirsty, so Lin Daqi stopped.

"What stinks. "Because of the heat, the old man's body gave off a stench early.

Many customers covered their noses and looked at Lin Daqi, who had just arrived, and the stout shopkeeper also scolded: "Those who pick up big dung, go farther!"

Lin Daqi originally wanted to make a bowl of tea to drink, but saw that the owner of this shop was not very friendly. Before the change, he had already had a seizure, but now, he chose to be silent and pulled the wooden cart to continue walking.

At this time, the white prince and Li Yuanyuan who followed behind him also got off the horse, gave the shopkeeper a large ingot of silver, and said, "Call that young man back to us, we have you here!"

......

Not only did Lin Daqi come back, but the shopkeeper also diligently helped Lin Daqi move the wooden cart to the other side. The old man was wrapped in a black cloth, and it was indeed impossible to tell that it was a corpse.

Li Yuanyuan lay on the table and looked at the expressionless Lin Daqi, while Brother Baijing went to the tea stall to get a pot of herbal tea.

Brother Baijing approached, picked up the big bowl in front of Lin Daqi and asked, "I said, why don't you leave?"

As soon as Lin Daqi heard this, he got up and was about to leave, Li Yuanyuan hurriedly took his hand and said, "Don't you mind, she is a person, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart." ”

Lin Daqi sat down at this time, raised the bowl of tea and drank it all. Bai Jing Gongzi simply put the teapot in front of Lin Daqi, and Lin Daqi took it and drank it directly to the mouth of the pot.
