Chapter 81: Post Station Conflict
Nearly an hour later, in the golden afterglow of the setting sun, a dilapidated post station stood.
Dingbei is a lower county, with few people and poor land, it would be good to have a post station, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect how good it is. The post station is an official office, similar to a guest house, generally used to receive officials who go out of office, and at the same time also transmit the delivery of military information and government orders, there are a number of military horses, a number of post officers, post officials, post servants and so on.
However, whether it is the transit of officials or the transmission of military information, it is difficult to meet once in ten days and a half months, and idle resources are naturally wasted, so they are generally used to receive past business travel, which is also regarded as an income.
Seeing a large group of people and horses moving in, the post men, post officials, and post guards were naturally overjoyed, although their post station was dilapidated, but the victory was that the place was spacious, and the team of carriages and horses totaled less than forty people, and they could live completely.
In the chaos of people neighing horses, Luo Xiao also drove his horse in, and as soon as he got off the horse, he saw a post man running and shouting: "Lead the horse over, this vehicle is very heavy, you have to add another horsepower......
Luo Xiao was a little confused, and pointed to the horses who were eating in the manger next to him and said, "Isn't there a bunch of horses here, why do you need to use my horses?"
The post officer glared at him and said impatiently: "That's a stagecoach, can it be the same? Hurry up, don't rub it off!"
Luo Xiao's horse was provided by Xiuwutang, which was not very good, and in order to conform to his identity after his disguise, he chose the most rammed horse among the disciples, although it was not a horse pulling the cart, but it was almost the same.
Although he is not a good horse, it does not mean that Luo Xiao is willing to be "helped" inexplicably, and said unhappily: "This big brother, you are mistaken, I am not ...... with them"
"We're not in this group. A thick voice came.
Luo Xiao turned his head and saw that it was one of the men in brocade, the martial artist in the middle of the fifth order, and his strength was the second in this team.
The man in brocade looked at him with some jealousy, and said to the post officer: "I will arrange a few people to come over and help push it...... This is your new guest. ”
The post servant suddenly said to Luo Xiao with some embarrassment: "This person is flustered......
Luo Xiao nodded, which can be regarded as having been revealed. In fact, the main reason is that this post is not a martial artist, otherwise with a little induction, you can understand that the young man in front of you is a fifth-order martial artist, how dare you bluff?
After the brocade-clothed man left, he whispered a few words to a few guards, and the eyes of the guards swept over, their eyes full of vigilance.
Luo Xiao naturally knew that what the other party said was to be wary of himself or something, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, people have a lot of money and money, and it is normal for him to be wary of a strange martial artist. Now hand over the horses to the post officer and walk into the post hall.
The post hall is actually a large hall, with seven or eight large tables, dozens of stools, and a few cubicles. There were already several groups of guests in the hall, including merchants and passers-by who looked like wild warriors. Since it was dinner time, everyone was waiting for dinner, but so many people came at once, and the room was so busy that their heels hit the back of their heads.
Luo Xiao saw that he would not be able to take his turn for a while, so he asked the post servant to lead him to find housing first. Due to the large number of visitors, the single rooms were all booked, and they could only sleep in the Chase Shop.
There are enough people to sleep in a row in the Chase shop, but there will be no one here, all waiting downstairs for dinner. The left and right were also idle, Luo Xiao shook his body and disappeared into the fairy stone cave. Then on the platform, he began to practice the mysteries of various martial arts he had learned over and over again: Ten Absolute Hands, Wind Shadow, Shield Strike, Twelve Thallium Hands, Bow and Archery...... Wait a minute.
It sounds like there are only ten moves, but in fact, each move has a variety of responses, and there are endless changes when facing the enemy. Although the Shadow of the Wind lacks a unique environment training, it is not particular about the basic body and walks down, and can be practiced in any environment, this kind of grounded thing is the simplest and most important, and it requires years of practice, the more skilled and solid, the better, and finally makes it the instinct of a warrior.
Whether it is martial arts or mysteries, it is easy to get started and difficult to get started.
Luo Xiao has made such rapid progress in the past half a year, in addition to his unique resources, more importantly, he has hundreds of times more time to train than ordinary martial artists. To be honest, every one of his martial arts is no less than decades of work, even the simplest and most basic moves, he is striving for perfection and almost playing flowers. No hard work and one gain, this is the proud record of sweeping the invincible opponents in the same realm.
This practice is for most of the day, until the sweat on his body is dry and wet, such as after six rounds, Luo Xiao flashed out, picked up the warm tea on the table and drank half a pot. Then I went to wash up, and estimated that the time was almost up, so Shi Shiran walked out of the room.
From the upstairs, you can see that there are already several tables of wine and food in the Chase Hall, and most of the costumes are people from the group of chariots and horses. Give priority to the big customers, which is also the meaning of opening the door to do business, and the rest of the individual customers can only wait first. It's just that there are a lot of temperamental people in this world, especially when they are hungry, but before Luo Xiao walked down the stairs, something happened below.
The two guests at the table, one strong and one thin, looked fierce and very difficult to provoke, and saw the post man walking towards the guest in the opposite compartment with a plate of freshly steamed stuffy chicken. The guests at this table were none other than the rich boy and a fat man in his fifties, although there were only two of them, but the table was full of dishes, and they were still serving.
The strong man suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "You! It's you! Come here! Lao Tzu asks you, is it Lao Tzu who arrived first or the table that arrived first?"
The post officer hesitated, but didn't dare to open his eyes and say nonsense, so he had to say: "You arrived first......
"That's because Lao Tzu has no money?"
The postman said in his heart, just the two of you are so poor, even if you call a table, you can't afford a dish, and you said numbly: "This is a guest from the south to the north, making money from all over the world, and seeing that the guest is prosperous and wealthy this year, and the wealth is rolling in......"
Ordinary businessmen, hearing such auspicious words, most of this anger is smooth, the strong man is really smooth, and the other hand is also smooth-directly put the stuffy chicken on his table, and said to himself: "Can you eat a big table, this chicken will belong to the uncle." ”
This time he snatched food in the bowl, the rich boy's face suddenly changed, his body just moved, and the brocade-clothed man standing behind him whispered: "Second Shao, leave it to me." ”
The brocade-clothed man glanced at a guard as he walked, and asked the other party to call the people outside, he sensed it just now, and found that these two foot travelers were actually wild warriors, and they had fifth-order strength, and he couldn't eat it alone. If he hadn't been stepped on by the other party, he would never want to provoke such a powerful person.
"This brother ......"
As soon as the man in brocade clenched his fist, the strong man was tearing off the big chicken feet and chewing on the case, without raising his head and said: "Stop! What qualifications does the dog in the nursing home have to call Lao Tzu a brother and a brother?"
The man in brocade turned his face: "Brother, walking the rivers and lakes, when you know the trouble, you will ...... from your mouth."
The strong man raised his head and bared his teeth: "That's right, disaster comes from the mouth!" The chicken foot bone in his hand sneered at the door of the brocade-clothed man.
The distance was so close, even if the man in brocade was on guard, he couldn't stop it, and he only had time to turn his head, and the chicken bone that had originally shot into his eyes grazed his forehead, drawing a blood mark.
The big man punched his chest, and the man in brocade hurriedly raised his hand to his chest, and a huge force like a mountain surged, and the whole person was knocked out and fell to the rich boy's table.
Because those guards were either helping outside or waiting for food at another table at this time, they couldn't stop it for a while, and saw a big living person of more than 100 catties flying over.
"Father, be careful!"
The rich boy lifted the tail of his shirt, jumped up on the stool, and reached out with one arm to hold down the brocade-clothed man who flew upside down. However, at this moment, the strong man and the thin old man who had not spoken from beginning to end jumped out at the same time and crashed into the rich boy from both directions.
There was a bang, and the three figures suddenly broke down, the rich man staggered back, and the strong man and the old man also fell backwards.
Suddenly, I heard a strong man shouting: "Lao Tzu has eaten a chicken leg is enough, and I won't eat this meal." Let's go!"
Two figures burst out of the door, almost colliding with another man in brocade and his guards who were rushing in. As soon as they saw the situation in Chase Hall, the guards were furious and drew their swords to chase after them.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, don't chase it. The fat old man's face was ugly, but he seemed to have scruples, and stopped the commotion of the guards.
When Yi Cheng heard the news, he apologized one by one, but the fat old man hurriedly replied and didn't dare to say goodbye.
Yi Cheng apologized a few words, and finally said: "I heard that your son and those two villains did a move, and they were not hurt, right?"
The rich boy arched his hand, looking proud: "It's only two mid-fifth-order middle-order, and it can't hurt me...... Ugh!"
Before the words fell, suddenly a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his whole body trembled, he pressed his chest with one hand and supported the corner of the table with the other, and as his body continued to shake, he suddenly lost his balance, and even the person with the table collapsed.
