Chapter 13: Catching the Thief
When the night watchmen heard the fighting, they all ran quickly into the courtyard and shouted, "There is a thief, catch the thief." As soon as he shouted, many people were immediately awakened, and other miscellaneous servants also came around to help him.
Zhou Zhi saw that the guards rushed over to help when they heard the news, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to make meritorious service alone, so he shouted loudly: "You all stand aside for me, no one is allowed to interfere, I must capture him alive today." ”
The crowd was hindered by the strength of his sword, so they had to obey the orders and besiege him without attacking.
Jia Shenyi saw that he was so proud and conceited, and quite courageous, and he still admired him a little in his heart. But he also knew in his heart that he couldn't fall in love with war at this time, and he had to fight quickly, otherwise he would not be able to get out when other masters came to help. So he smiled and said to Zhou Zhi: "Since you want to try my sword, then I will play with you." ”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the duel between the two great swordsmanship masters today is about to start, and everyone is looking forward to this wonderful battle.
I saw Zhou Zhi quickly attacking Jia Shenyi, and after the two handed it over, Jia Shenyi pretended to be invincible and started a fight.
Zhou Zhi immediately saw Jia Shenyi's thoughts, and followed him all the way to fight. Unexpectedly, Jia Shenyi retreated to the bottom of the porch, turned over and went to the room in a few steps, and used a sword to pick up tiles on the room and throw them at Zhou Zhi and the guards.
The broken tiles flew towards the guards, and the people in the courtyard dodged one after another, and those who were not in a hurry were hit by the tiles, and the pain was unbearable, and the courtyard was immediately chaotic.
Zhou Zhi saw that Jia Shenyi was about to escape, so he hurriedly swung his sword to smash the tiles, and went up to the room to chase Jia Shenyi.
Jia Shenyi originally wanted to lure Zhou Zhi to chase after him, and wanted to see his true martial arts, but he deliberately exposed his flaws and made him give up. At this time, he saw that he was chasing after him angrily, which was exactly what he wanted, so he fought and retreated, did not dare to fight, and used the upper light skills to escape into the night.
Zhou Zhi chased after him behind him and said sarcastically: "Why did you run away, now you know how powerful my royal family is." ”
Jia Shenyi didn't answer, and fled all the way out of the city.
After a while, he stopped in an open forest on the edge of the city, and Zhou Zhi also came down later.
The two stood opposite each other, only to hear Jia Shenyi say: "Your swordsmanship is good, I didn't expect your light skills to be weak." ”
Zhou Zhi's heart was very self-assured, thinking that he had gained the upper hand just now, so he was a little frivolous, and said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, what are you doing in this ghost place." ”
Jia Shenyi smiled and said, "I see that your swordsmanship is good, and I want to have a good fight with you." But just now in the royal gate, there are many people, and it will inevitably disturb our peak duel, so I will bring you here, how about another competition?"
Zhou Zhi listened to his words, which was exactly what he wanted, so he agreed: "Okay, let's compete here." After saying that, he quickly raised his sword and attacked.
Jia Shenyi watched him attack with a sword that came by surprise, and just hurried to dodge. But he still didn't dodge the sword, and a hole was pierced in the sleeve of his left hand. He quickly flashed to the side and said with a smile: "What a quick move to surprise the sword." ”
Zhou Zhi saw that he had a successful move, and his heart was even more arrogant, and he said disdainfully: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, it has been like this since ancient times, don't you know?"
Jia Shenyi felt that it was redundant to talk to him about the morality of the rivers and lakes, so he stopped talking and dealt with him seriously.
The two of them attacked and defended under the moonlight, I advanced and you retreated, and they fought from the third watch to the fifth watch, and there was no winner or loser.
The two were sweating profusely, Jia Shenyi sighed in surprise, saw that the other party was still panting heavily, and said secretly: This person is not very old, he has such a cultivation, he is really a martial arts wizard. It's no wonder that until now, no one has chased him out, and it seems that he is very relieved.
Jia Shenyi stepped aside, seeing that the sky was white, seeing that he stood up and wanted to fight again, he smiled with a relaxed face: "What? ”
Zhou Zhidao: "Nonsense. The winner is not scored, of course it must be fought. ”
Jia Shenyi said: "Today's battle between you and me is really happy. But that's the end of it, let's fight again if we have a chance. ”
Although Zhou Zhi suffered some skin injuries and was a little sleepy, he was not convinced and wanted to continue to fight. At this time, seeing that he was going to stop fighting, he hurriedly disagreed: "Why do you want to find an opportunity to fight again in the future, you must divide the male and female before you stop today." ”
Jia Shenyi respected him as a tough guy, and couldn't bear to tell the truth, but smiled and comforted him: "Young man, you and I are both sword practitioners, and we should know that the sword competition between swordsmen is not only about moves and skills, but also faster and more ruthless than anyone." The tricks between masters are compared with experience and mentality. Now you are in a hurry to win, even if we fight for another three days and three nights, you will not be able to defeat me. ”
After Zhou Zhi saw his kung fu, he also felt that his words were not unreasonable, and he knew in his heart that he was not his opponent, but he was unwilling to admit it, so he said arrogantly: "Okay, the master will let you go today, and we will fight again in the future." With that, he turned around and left.
Jia Shenyi knew that he refused to bow his head, but he didn't want to ruin such a good seedling, even if he was his sworn enemy, so he asked, "Dare to ask the name of the son?"
Zhou Zhi didn't stop, continued to walk forward, and said without looking back: "Zhou Zhi, the fourth master of the royal gate, is." ”
Jia Shenyi was relieved at this time, and said secretly in his heart: No wonder the swordsmanship is so powerful, it turns out that in the past six months, the second sword master among the four newly rising heroes of the Wangmen on the rivers and lakes.
He sighed at the moment: "It's really a few springs and autumns in the rivers and lakes, and Junjie is coming out frequently." ”
Then he went into the city. After resting in the inn for a day, I didn't check out until the evening, and rushed to the entrance of the Aoki Gang Fish Market with my baggage. He's going to check it out there, so he can secretly help the Aoki gang through this time of crisis.
At noon that day, Wang Min took his senior brother He Lu to Zuixiang Building early and booked a seat by the window on the second floor. The two sat upstairs drinking tea, waiting for Qin Lianfeng to come to the appointment.
But they waited until five o'clock and didn't see him coming, so Wang Min sent someone to the inn where Qin Lianfeng lived.
He Lu was a chronic man, and he was drinking tea comfortably, and said to Wang Min, who was anxious next to him: "Little junior sister, be patient, you are still afraid that he will not be able to run away in Ezhou." ”
When Wang Min heard this, he thought about it in his heart, and he was a little relieved.
At this time, a little minion suddenly ran up from downstairs and bowed to Wang Min: "Second Miss, the kid surnamed Qin is here." ”
Wang Min immediately got up and looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw a person walking on the street, it was Qin Lianfeng.
She was happy in her heart, and said to He Lu with a smile: "Senior brother, that kid is really here." ”
He Lu said: "It's good to come, you sit down first, don't be afraid of me with me." ”
Wang Min nodded to indicate that he knew, so he asked Xiao Er to hurry up and prepare and bring the best wine and dishes.
There has always been a rule in this drunken incense building, that is, if you order the best wine, you must serve the best food, and if you serve the best food, you must drink the best wine.
After a while, when Qin Lianfeng walked upstairs, he saw a table full of wine and food. Of course, he also saw the people at the table. In addition to Wang Min, there was also a stranger with a sword.
He sneered: "It turns out that today's Hongmen banquet is held." ”
Wang Min hurriedly came over and quipped: "Look at what Gongzi Qin said, what kind of Hongmen banquet is this." Come, let me introduce to you, this is my senior brother, the fourth master of the royal family, He Lu, who came with me today to make you a friend sincerely. ”
He Lu didn't look at Qin Lianfeng, he was still drinking alone, he felt that if he fought, he would fight, why should he be so hypocritical and pretend.
Qin Lianfeng has already seen that this person is not easy to get close to, maybe the person who came is not good. At that moment, he was not formal, so he pulled over the stool and sat down, and said to Wang Min: "Your senior brother doesn't seem to like to talk. ”
Wang Min said with a smile: "Qin Gongzi doesn't know anything, my senior brother is known for his swordsmanship, and he doesn't like to talk much, but since he heard about your swordsmanship, he wants to meet you and rub with you." ”
Qin Lianfeng took a bite of food, and when he saw that her fox tail was finally revealed, he looked at her with disdain and sneered: "What a friend with martial arts." ”
Wang Min smiled without blushing and heartbeat, as if he hadn't heard what he said.
At this moment, He Lu next to him said: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to become my friend." The tone was very arrogant and light.
Qin Lianfeng also disdained it, continued to drink and eat, and then said, "Girl, it seems that you have invited a powerful character today." ”
Seeing that his senior brother was stirring up trouble, Wang Min also changed his previous docile compliments, and said with a strong attitude: "Qin Lianfeng, don't be arrogant, my senior brother is very powerful, it is difficult to say whether you can defeat my senior brother." ”
Qin Lianfeng sneered: "You are really cunning, no wonder the world says that beautiful women can't be provoked, and it is really true when I see it today." ”
Wang Min also laughed and said, "It's a pity that you know too late." ”
She poured another glass of wine and said, "Senior brother, it's not too late for you to drink this glass of wine before you start." The wine here is the best wine in Ezhou City. ”
He Lu picked up the wine glass, drank a glass alone, and praised: "It is indeed good wine." He glanced at Qin Lianfeng again and said, "You can taste it too." Drink happily, and when the time comes, there will be no regrets. ”
Qin Lianfeng glanced at him, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, and praised: "Good wine." Then he poured another cup and said to He Lu: "Dry."
As soon as they drank it all, they both burst out laughing.
Qin Lianfeng borrowed the strength of the wine and said angrily to Wang Min: "Girl, you helped your cousin kill someone, and you still want to show prestige here." Others are afraid of you, but I, Qin Lianfeng, am not afraid. ”
When Wang Min heard him say that his cousin had killed someone, he was also in the clouds, so he hurriedly panicked: "He killed someone, I don't know." ”
At this time, He Lu listened to their conversation on the side, and realized that Wang Min was helping Zheng Meng, who was a wine bag and rice bag, to provoke this Qin Lianfeng, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. But when he saw this person's proud look, he thought that the little junior sister could say good things for herself in front of the eldest lady, so he shook his head and said, "What a big breath." ”
