One hundred and ninety-two, Golden Arrow Martial Arts Hall
The four of them returned to the inn and recuperated in the inn for two days. At noon on this day, the four of them had lunch in the guest hall, and Chang Long couldn't help but ask: "Master Wang Xue, I don't want to rest in the inn, let's go out and walk around." Wang Xue had nothing to do in the inn for two days, and felt a little bored, and said, "We will leave for Bozi Town tomorrow." Hu Xiaochen smiled lightly and said, "Master wants to go to Bozi Town to fulfill his youthful ambition, and he wants to show his skills at this year's Zhenwu Conference." Wang Xue said: "When I was a child in Bozi Town, that period of time was really a great adventure in my life, I met Li Hao, Zhang Guanhua, Bu Ziyi, Wu Tian there, where Senior Brother Liu taught martial arts, and there I found my brother Wang Liqiang. It stands to reason that Bozi Town should be my blessed land, I went back to Bozi Town, and Senior Brother Liu Yue took care of it, but for some reason, every time I thought of going to Bozi Town, I was a little scared in my heart. Wang Xue thought of the past, half moved and half sour.
Zhao Xiaocao suddenly laughed and said, "I know what you're afraid of, Master, you are afraid that Zhen will be defeated at the martial arts conference and won't be able to get off the stage in front of a few of our disciples." Wang Xue shook his head and said: "When I was young, I felt that my martial arts had been practiced very strong, and I was able to win the championship at the conference, but at this moment, it seems that my martial arts at that time were not very good, and it was common for me to lose at the Zhenwu Conference. Zhao Xiaocao smiled again and said: "Since the master is not afraid of the Zhenwu Conference, he is afraid that he will bump into that Li Hao in the ring, isn't it?" This is often the case in the world, close friends who have suffered together when they were children, even if they part, even if they have not seen each other for many years, they will inevitably miss each other in their hearts. Wang Xue was stunned, I don't know if Li Hao was looking at the north and missing himself at this time.
Wang Xue didn't want to think about these things anymore, so she changed the topic and said: "The reputation of the Zhenwu Conference has been very loud in the past ten years, and masters from all walks of life in the world have come, I don't dare to say that I will definitely win the championship, and you don't go around saying that I am the best in the world, so as not to be ridiculed." Chang Long laughed and said, "Our master is indeed the best in the world, what is the shame of laughing at this?" He slapped the table and stood up, shouted to a few tables and more than a dozen diners in front of him: "You all listen well, our master is the number one person in the world in martial arts!" The diners who came to eat were all local people, none of them were from the rivers and lakes, and they didn't take it to heart when they heard Chang Long say this, but they just listened to a joke, smiled faintly, and then eat. Wang Xue couldn't cry or laugh, tugged at the corner of Chang Long's clothes, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, children, where do I dare to claim to be the number one in the world, it is my Senior Brother Liu and Jin Yunqi, and my martial arts are also above me." Hu Xiaochen said: "This master can rest assured, Liu Yue is your senior brother, if you bump into him in the ring, with his benevolent and generous temperament, most of you will let this little junior sister have a game; It is not an exaggeration to say that Master, you are the best in the world. The four of them talked happily about the Zhenwu Conference, and sat until dusk before returning to their rooms.
Early the next morning, the four of them packed their bags and hired a carriage in front of the inn to rush to Bozi Town, passing through Hangzhou and Luzhou in a few days, and came to Kaifeng Zhongmu County in a few days.
It was the hottest time in the afternoon, Wang Xue, Zhao Xiaocao, and Chang Long didn't feel anything when they sat in the canopy, Hu Xiaochen was driving in front, but he was sweating profusely from the sun, and the little straw hat on his head didn't care for anything. Chang Long couldn't bear it, poked his head out of the tent, and shouted to Hu Xiaochen: "Stop ahead, just change me to drive." Hu Xiaochen said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, when the village was busy with farming, I had to hoe at noon, and I have long been used to it." Hu Xiaochen's words were originally a word of relief, but when Wang Xue heard it, her heart was just sour, she only felt that the villagers were bitter and the world was not easy, Hu Xiaochen was her disciple, and she couldn't bear Hu Xiaochen's suffering, and said: "Stop ahead and find an inn to beat." There is still half a month left in the Zhenwu Conference, and it is useless to go so early, so we will rush early and late these days, and get off the bus to find a place to cool off when it is hot at noon. He turned his head to Chang Long and said, "Zhao Xiaocao is a girl, don't let her do such hard things as driving, starting tomorrow, the two of us and Hu Xiaochen will take turns driving." Chang Long smiled: "Since it's hard work, how can you let Master do it, I can take turns with Hu Xiaochen." β
The carriage stopped in front of an inn, four people got off the car and entered the store, only to see that the inn was full of guests who were eating at the tip, at that time Kaifeng Zhongmu County was lively and prosperous, the merchants who came from the south to the north and the literati who played in the mountains and rivers were the majority, and the inn was often full. Chang Long knocked on the door of the inn and shouted, "Visitor, is there any empty table!" The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "Yes, yes, yes." He led Wang Xue and the others to the corner. In the corner of the wall there was a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, the wooden table was very large, wider than the ordinary dining table, but a little shabby, and there was a layer of dust on the table, which was obviously a long-stacked thing, and it made people feel awkward at the sight of it, but there was only this one table left in the inn, and they could only sit at this table. The shopkeeper hurriedly wiped off the ashes on the table, rubbed his hands and said: "A few people have also seen the situation in the shop, this, this ......" Wang Xue said: "It's okay, we can only settle when the guests are full, and there is no way, you go and get us a little tea." The little two agreed and walked away, and after a while, he brought tea and four plates of dim sum, the inn was no better than the restaurant, there were no delicate and fine points, and what was served was just ordinary rice crackers and muffins.
Chang Long is a broad young master, he is flattered everywhere he goes on weekdays, and at this time he was arranged to sit at the broken table in the corner, his heart was originally unhappy, and he saw that the dim sum was not a high-quality pastry, he was angry, and stood up in a bluff, wanting to scold the shopkeeper loudly, but he didn't know that his lips were open, and before he could say anything, he heard a rough voice outside the door scolded first: "Where is the shopkeeper dead? Come out to greet customers!" I saw a man with five big and three thick striding in, followed by two companions. The three of them were all wearing a white gown, and a big "Yi" character was embroidered on their chests with red thread, which was expected to be the same sect of brothers. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted the door, and said with a smile: "The three masters are late, and the shop is full." Why don't you invite a few people to go to the ...... on the street?" The man who didn't wait for the shopkeeper finished speaking, waved his hand and shouted: "Who said that the guests are full, isn't there an empty seat?" Sitting at the table next to Wang Xue was a young couple, the man raised his right hand, slapped it heavily in front of the couple's table, and shouted: "You two, go and sit at the big table next to you, leave this table and chair for me." The couple was originally timid, but seeing that this man was tall and strong, and his face was full of murder, they didn't dare to offend, so they had to carry the teacup in front of the table to Wang Xue's side. The inn was small, Wang Xue and the others originally wanted to invite the couple to come over and squeeze in and give up their seats to these later guests, but the man was arrogant and unreasonable, and everyone was angry when they heard it.
Chang Long couldn't bear it at first, got up and waved his hand, not allowing the couple to sit, and said: "You two came for money, and the four of us also spent money, why don't you go to squeeze the table with others, but come to our side to squeeze, do you see that our women and children are bullied?" Chang Long's words were on the surface to accuse the couple, but in fact, he intended to say it to the reckless man, you are arrogant and unreasonable, I have to be more arrogant than you. The couple didn't dare to offend the arrogant and reckless man, and it was inconvenient to offend Chang Long, so they couldn't help but feel very embarrassed. The arrogant man and the other two companions had already sat down, and at this time they all stood up, and one of them pointed at Chang Long and scolded: "Fuck, what are you!" Wang Xue glanced at Chang Long and said, "Why be angry about trivial matters, let's squeeze it." He got up and pulled the chair closer to Zhao Xiaocao to make room for the couple. The couple thanked Wang Xue and sat down beside her.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought the wine and food to the three men, and the three of them ate and drank heavily, and no longer paid attention to Chang Long.
At this time, two more men entered the store, and the two of them were also wearing red and white robes, and they were all the way with the three men. The two men saw that the square table where Wang Xue and the others were sitting was big, so they walked in front of Wang Xue, and one of them patted Wang Xue's table and shouted, "You guys get out and give us your seats." Rao is Wang Xue's easy-going temperament that has been honed over the years, and at this time he couldn't help but be angry, thinking: "Earlier, you bastards asked us to give up our seats, and we have already complied, I didn't expect you to get an inch in and drive us out." Although he was angry in his heart, after all, he did not want to grudge with others, and was thinking about how to answer, but the couple who were sitting next to him stood up and wanted to leave. Chang Long stood up in fright, stretched out his hand to stop the couple behind him, and shouted to the person who slapped the table: "The inn is not owned by your family, why do you tell us to get out, let's get out, is the money for the refreshments on your heads?" The man raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Fuck, do you want to fight? You don't want to see how many of us there are?" As soon as these words came out, the three people who were sitting at the table next to Wang Xue also stood up together, and the five people each stepped forward, and the seats of Wang Xue and the others were originally in the corner.
Hu Xiaochen and Zhao Xiaocao also stood up, and Hu Xiaochen said, "I saw it, you are five people." But there are six of us here, and if you start fighting, you won't take advantage of it. When the five of them heard this, they laughed. It turned out that the five people in red Yi and white robes were all strong men, just looking at the clothes, you can know that the five people have martial arts, and although there are six people on Wang Xue's side, three of them are children, Wang Xue and the couple are both thin people, although the number is one more, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is Wang Xue and other six people who suffer to fight; although those five people have martial arts, but their martial arts are shallow, and they can't see that Wang Xue is a martial arts master, but they are not afraid that they are women and children. Hu Xiaochen saw the five people laughing, and he was stunned, and his heart moved, and he said: "Do you five big fools think you can fight, but in fact, any one of us here can beat you two or three times to make you cry and call your mother." Well, I think it's good, if I let this kid clean you up, you won't be honorable, and it's a shame to lose, then let the adult next to me come and do it with the five of you, if this adult wins, then you get out, and today's refreshment money is also yours. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Xue, and asked Wang Xue to deal with these five barbarians. The five men saw that Wang Xue was just a thin little woman, and said that Hu Xiaochen was joking casually. A man raised his finger in front of Hu Xiaochen's face and scolded: "Stinky boy, don't be hippie and smile in front of grandpa." Zhao Xiaocao and Chang Long knew that Wang Xue's martial arts were far superior to the five of them, so that one hand could easily win, and the two couldn't help but giggle. Hu Xiaochen said: "Who is kidding, you can't even beat her as a woman." β
Seeing that Hu Xiaochen said seriously, the five of them were all surprised, and turned their heads to look at Wang Xue. Wang Xueshicai didn't speak all the time, just to see how his disciples were doing, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaochen to push the matter on himself in two or three sentences, and he only felt that Hu Xiaochen, the kid, was playful, and was about to get up and send the five people away, when he suddenly heard a person at the door shouting: "The battle is bullying, and the face of the Golden Arrow Sect has made you lose everything." I saw a young man in his early twenties striding in and shouting to the five, "Come out, don't make trouble with others." The young man was also wearing a red and white robe, and he was obviously from the same family as the five people, and he thought that he was talking about the golden arrow faction.
Seeing the young man's righteous face, Wang Xue was quite appreciative in his heart, and blurted out, "Young man, what's your name." The young man said, "My name is Liu Ang." Wang Xue asked again: "Are the five of them the same as you, also from the Golden Arrow Sect?" Liu Ang said: "Exactly." He raised his hand and pointed to the five people one by one, and said, "His name is Ah Da, and he is Ah 2, Ah 3, Ah 4, and Ah 5." Wang Xue, Zhao Xiaocao and others heard the names of these five people so strange, and they all felt interesting in their hearts, and they thought that Liu Ang casually teased the five people with five names, but they didn't know that these five people bowed down after defecting to the Golden Arrow Sect, and gave them nicknames such as Ah Da and Ah Er, but it was not Liu Ang's nonsense. Wang Xue asked again: "The helm of your Golden Arrow Sect must be around here, who is your sect leader, I want to visit." Hearing Wang Xue ask about the name of the master, Ah Da figured out that most of the little women had some origins, for fear that Wang Xue would sue in front of the master, his face was slightly less angry, and he walked out of the inn with the remaining four people. Liu Ang apologized to Wang Xue and the others, and walked out.
The shopkeeper saw Wang Xue and the others and the five big men fighting with each other before, and didn't dare to approach, but when he saw the five people going out, he dared to come over to clean up the table, and the five people didn't pay for the meal when they left, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask for it. Wang Xue said to the shopkeeper: "Don't worry, their wine and food money is counted on our heads." Come here, I have something to ask you. Dian Xiaoer walked in front of Wang Xue, Wang Xue asked: "Do they Golden Arrow Sect often walk around the county seat?" Dian Xiaoer said: "At first glance, you are not from Zhongmu County, the head of the Golden Arrow Sect has opened a martial arts hall at the east gate of the county, of course they often walk around the county seat." At that time, there were many sects in the martial arts to make a living, and the people in charge of the sect took their disciples to the county to open a martial arts hall to teach disciples. Wang Xue asked again: "The Golden Arrow Sect bullies and dominates the market, is there no one who comes out?" The shopkeeper said: "The Golden Arrow Sect used to be strict in governance, and there has never been a matter of the disciples of the Golden Arrow Sect not giving money for dinner, but in recent months, I heard that the head of the Golden Arrow Sect is old and wants to retire to the rivers and lakes. Wang Xue snorted, thinking in her heart: "I have to go to their old head and say, your own people are not harmonious, don't involve others." The shopkeeper said again: "The old head of the Golden Arrow Sect has set the rules, which disciple can break the ten thousand arrows array he created on the day of his retreat, which disciple is the new head of the sect." There are only four days left before the day when the head of the house will go into hiding, and there will be a big ring in front of the martial arts hall, and if you are interested, you can go over and have a look. Wang Xue snorted and said, "If it's still too late, go over and take a look." β
Zhao Xiaocao likes to watch the excitement, and after the shopkeeper left, he begged Wang Xue to say: "Master, let's rush to Bozi Town, we will be able to arrive in less than a month, there are still nearly two months before the Zhenwu Conference, we have seen the Golden Arrow Sect's ring match, and it is not too late to go to the Zhenwu Conference." Wang Xue said: "The Ten Thousand Arrows Array of the Golden Arrow Sect, it seems to be very powerful when I hear the name, I also want to see it, it's okay, let's stay for a few more days, and then hurry after seeing the Ten Thousand Arrows Array." Chang Long immediately went to open three upper rooms, one each for Wang Xue and Zhao Xiaocao, and he lived with Hu Xiaochen.
The next morning, the four of them had breakfast and had nothing to do, so they walked around the county. Walk to the east wall of the county, see that the east wall is a huge martial arts hall, take a closer look, there is a gold plaque standing on the door of the martial arts hall, which is inscribed with the words "Golden Arrow School", and it is indeed the martial arts hall of the Golden Arrow School. Chang Long sneered: "The Golden Arrow Sect has such a big faΓ§ade, no wonder the disciples are all showing off their martial arts, and when I go back, I asked my father to spend more money to build a bigger martial arts hall, and I will be angry with their old master." Zhao Xiaocao usually looks down on a rich boy like Chang Long the most, whenever he hears Chang Long talk about family wealth, he always has to fight with him, but at this time, he also looked at Chang Long and said: "When your martial arts gym is opened, name it 'Wang Family Boxing Gym', let Master Wang Xue be the head of the sect, and see if our Master Wang Xue is powerful, or their martial arts hall is powerful." Hu Xiaochen couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted the top of Zhao Xiaocao's head, and said: "The martial arts hall opened by Chang Dagongzi's family is named Wang's Boxing Gym, which is cheap and profitable. Chang Long laughed and said, "It's okay, if the master is interested in coming to be the head of the sect, it is better to call the martial arts hall 'Wangjia Boxing Gym'." When the Wang Family Martial Arts Hall opens, let's take all the disciples of the Golden Arrow Sect and steal their business. Let these bullies of the Golden Arrow faction starve to death on the streets. β
Wang Xue listened to the jokes of a few children, couldn't help but smile slightly, looked around, and saw that there was a wide street in front of the martial arts hall, and on both sides of the street were stalls and hawkers selling along the street, but there was no ring, and she wondered in her heart: "The shopkeeper said that the old boss retired after four days, and he wanted to hold a big ring in front of the martial arts hall, why didn't anyone set up a stage at this moment?
Wang Xue was puzzled, and suddenly heard a person above his head roaring: "Don't run away if you have a kind!" Looking up, I saw three people walking back and forth on the roof of the martial arts hall.
