Chapter 74: Plum Blossom Villa
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, this is an old saying, which has been used by countless heroes to interpret their courage to move forward without fear of death, in fact, this is no way, and it is also the most direct and effective, but the risk you need to take may be that you will never get out of the tiger's den and become the tiger's food. Sometimes, however, it can work in the unexpected.
Wuxin looked at the back of Zhongbo's departure and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, because Zhongbo, who walked out of the teahouse, did not leave directly, but walked to the beggar who was curled up in the corner and handed over another tea in his hand.
The beggar took the refreshments that were like a life-saving straw for him, and quickly struggled to get up from the ground, and kowtowed to Zhongbo three times in a row.
When the beggar looked up, he found that the old man who had given him food had long since left, leaving only a faint figure on the corner of the street not far away.
Wuxin looked at the beggar like a treasure holding the refreshment, and frowned in puzzlement, he didn't understand why a person who made the teahouse owner so awe-inspiring, a Plum Blossom Mountain Villa who died with his mouth closed, would be so concerned about a beggar on the side of the road, why would he go out of his way to buy a refreshment for the beggar.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the teahouse owner who watched Uncle Zhong leave and let out a long breath, and asked lightly, "Who is he from Plum Blossom Villa?"
The teahouse owner didn't say anything, turned his head and walked to the back kitchen, as if he hadn't heard the unintentional question at all. Maybe he really didn't dare to say a word this time, he just lived, and he didn't know if it was the blessing he had cultivated in several lifetimes, and he didn't dare to say a word more.
"Now that you have opened your mouth, then saying one sentence is the same as saying ten sentences, not to mention that Uncle Zhong has already let you go, now you should consider whether I will let you go if you don't say it. Without waiting for the boss to take a few steps, he said lightly, but there was a hint of unhappiness and anger in his tone.
When the owner of the teahouse heard Wuxin's words, he suddenly stopped, paused for a while, turned around, looked at Wuxin with a sad face, and said pleadingly: "Guest officer, can you just let me go?" Looking at the way he looked, he was almost about to kneel down to Wuxin.
"I can assure you that no third person will know what you say. Unintentionally said affirmatively, still waiting for the boss's answer.
The boss hesitated for a while, looked at the knife in Wuxin's hand, and finally gritted his teeth, came to Wuxin's side, and said in a low voice: "He is from Plum Blossom Villa." After speaking, he couldn't stop looking up at the door, afraid that someone would come in at this time.
Unintentionally, the doubts deepened, why did an old man who played a shift make the boss so afraid, was it really just because he was from Plum Blossom Villa?
The teahouse owner sighed and said, "Because he is from Plum Blossom Villa." And..."Saying that, he glanced out of the door again, lowered his voice, and said slowly: "And he used to be the guard commander of Plum Blossom Villa, don't look at him limping now, twenty years ago, he was one of the best martial arts masters in this radius of a hundred miles, but later it seemed that because he committed something, he was cut off by the owner of Plum Blossom Villa, and his martial arts were abolished." The teahouse owner scratched his head as he spoke, as if he was trying to remember the events of twenty years ago, but most of them were no longer remembered.
Wuxin's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, because the mystery seemed to be more and more unraveled instead of being revealed. After thinking about it, he continued to ask: "What kind of martial arts competition did he say, what is the matter with gold?"
The owner of the teahouse was stunned for a moment, looked at Wuxin, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you here to compete in martial arts?" Seeing Wuxin shaking his head, he continued: "That's because the three owners of Plum Blossom Villa spread the news two years ago, whoever can win against him will be able to get a hundred taels of gold, he is a complete martial idiot." In the past three years, many people have come to challenge, but they have never come out since they entered the Plum Blossom Villa, and they have not seen anyone dead or dead, and everyone thinks that they have already died in the Plum Blossom Villa. After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Wuxin, originally he also thought that Wuxin was just a person who came to die.
Wuxin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of what Zhongbo said. He wasn't sure if the truth was really as the teahouse owner had said, if the three village owners were really as high as their martial arts skills, or if there were some other secrets hidden in the Plum Blossom Villa.
Plum Blossom Villa, there are three owners, the boss is named Mei Yu, he likes calligraphy and painting, but he is the most ruthless person, he almost can't even blink his eyes when he kills someone, and he is the most majestic person in Plum Blossom Villa. The second child's name is Merlot, and he is obsessed with playing chess, and he rarely talks to him, and he is always silent. The third child is called Mei Ying, he is a martial arts idiot, he likes to dance with guns and sticks, he is strong in martial arts, and he likes to fight and kill the most.
Although the three of them have very different personalities, they are extremely harmonious, Plum Blossom Villa is also the largest force in the vicinity of hundreds of miles, almost no one dares to come to Gusu City to make trouble, although the people here are afraid of Plum Blossom Villa, but compared to the fact that no outsiders dare to bully them, it is nothing.
It's just that they all understand an unwritten rule, that is, no matter who secretly mentions the matter of Plum Blossom Villa, it will definitely lead to death, which is not once or twice, so now no one dares to mention Plum Blossom Villa, for fear that they will not see the sunrise tomorrow.
In the deepest part of Gusu City, through the small alleys that go through all corners and eight turns, extending in all directions, there is a very big mansion, and it is very beautiful, the outside of the house and the house are surrounded by plum blossoms, and the air is full of plum blossoms, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Above the gate of the mansion, there is a plaque hanging, on which are written four big characters "Plum Blossom Villa", the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, the clouds and rivers flow, this is the big owner of the villa, Mei Yu personally took the pen to write, showing the grandeur and majesty of the Plum Blossom Villa.
At this time, at the end of an alley outside the village, a figure was walking slowly in the direction of Plum Blossom Villa, walking very slowly, but very firmly. In his hand, he held a knife with a dark body, and he held it so tightly that he could almost see that the green tendons in his hands were slowly tightening and relaxing.
It was late in the evening, and the kitchen was already lit with a fire and dinner was being prepared. A few people with brooms are carefully cleaning the plum petals that have fallen under the flowers, and a few maids are busy placing tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in the front hall.
In all corners of the village, there are dozens of tall guards with knives who do not squint, vigilantly looking ahead, guarding the seemingly relaxed Plum Blossom Villa into an iron wall.
Although it has been a long time since no one dared to come to Plum Blossom Villa to be presumptuous, but they have become a habit day after day, this is their duty, if they let others have a chance to take advantage of the slightest accident, then they don't have to live.
It didn't take long for the people to start serving, and when the owners of the village came to the front hall to prepare for the meal, someone knocked on the closed door, and the sound was very loud, and it spread far and wide, and reached everyone's ears.
"Is the person outside the door dead?, does anyone knock on the door and don't care?" a large man dressed in the same guard costume scolded impatiently, peeked at the antechamber where someone was already seated at this time, and walked towards the gate with a frown.
When the door opened, the big man was stunned for a moment, because there was a man holding a knife standing at the door, covered in black, looking at him coldly.
On both sides of the gate, there were two people lying on them, who were the guards guarding the door. Could it really be dead? The big man was shocked, and hurriedly looked down to take a closer look, only to find that he had only been knocked unconscious.
The person who knocked on the door was the one who came slowly in the alley just now, and it was Wuxin who had worked hard to find this place.
Dahan looked at Wuxin vigilantly, and said loudly: "Who dares to come to Plum Blossom Villa to be presumptuous?" He did this, firstly, to embolden himself, and secondly, to notify other people in the village to come to help as soon as possible. His words worked, and just as he finished speaking, a dozen or so guards rushed to the gate with knives and blocked the door.
"I'm here to compete. Wuxin lowered his head slightly and said lightly. After learning about the martial arts competition from the mouth of the teahouse owner, he unintentionally felt that this was a beautiful reason to enter the Plum Blossom Villa openly. But after he came to Plum Blossom Villa, he was stopped by the guards at the door, claiming that it was dinner time and he was not allowed to disturb, so he had no choice but to knock the two unconscious.
When the big man heard this, he looked at Wuxin, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you're here for, I hurt the people of Plum Blossom Villa, I think you don't want to live anymore!" As soon as the words fell, the big man waved his hand, and more than a dozen guards rushed out of the gate and surrounded Wuxin in the middle.
Wuxin still didn't look up, but said lightly: "I didn't expect Plum Blossom Villa to issue a battle letter for the competition, but I didn't dare to open the door to face the battle, it seems that the rumors are false, and Plum Blossom Villa is nothing more than that." As he spoke, he turned and left.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Dahan frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Stop! You can come if you want, you can leave if you want, what kind of place do you think of Plum Blossom Villa? You can go if you want, it depends on whether you can go!" After speaking, the big hand waved again, and I saw that more than a dozen guards surrounding Wuxin pulled out their knives at the same time, and they were about to pounce.
"What? Do you plan to win more than you can? When the big ones don't dare to fight, let the small ones come out and entangle?" said Wuxin lightly, his words full of disdain.
The guards who had long been arrogant heard Wuxin's words, and they were furious for a while, and they were about to rush towards Wuxin with their knives, they hadn't seen anyone who dared to openly argue with Plum Blossom Villa for a long time, how could they swallow this evil breath. But just as they were about to do it, they were stopped.
"Don't fall for other people's agitation methods, and lose the people of Plum Blossom Villa!" A voice sounded from the gate, and a figure slowly walked out of it. When everyone heard this, they stopped and took two steps back, but they still surrounded Wuxin in the middle.
A man with his head raised higher and his eyes squinted stood at the gate with his hands behind his back, wearing a white gown and two beards, looking at the back of the heartless man with cold eyes. This person who almost looks at people with his nostrils is the third owner of Plum Blossom Villa, Mei Ying.
"Your Excellency, you have a big breath. Mei Ying looked at Wuxin coldly and said, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Wuxin turned around slowly, slowly raised his head, and met Mei Ying's eyes. The four looked at each other, and immediately collided with sparks, and the two of them stared at each other's eyes tightly, without blinking, neither of them wanted to fall behind, as if the current eye contact had been regarded as the beginning of the competition.
A majestic battle intent began to spread rapidly between the two of them, gradually submerging the people present, and began to spread around, as if they could see the surrounding plum blossoms also being stimulated by this war intent and kept shaking......
