Chapter 11: A Rainy Night
The town of bluestone in the dusk becomes very lively, the bustling people are talking and laughing towards the north of the town, through the faint moonlight, a majestic manor slowly comes into view, and the aroma of wine and meat mixed in the air can be smelled from afar, smelling this aroma, people can't help but speed up their pace, as if they are afraid of missing it.
The people who came early had already found their seats, sat there and looked around, looking in the direction of the back kitchen from time to time, and it seemed that there were already people who couldn't wait. The shopkeeper of the noodle shop has returned from the city, and sat near the gate with a group of men, and the shopkeeper kept laughing, talking to the shopkeeper, causing the shopkeeper to laugh non-stop.
At a table not far from the noodle restaurant, there were four people, an old man, a young man and two middle-aged people, who were the four officials who came to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles during the day. But these four people were different from everyone else, they didn't talk, but they all stared coldly at everyone who came in through the gate, and the atmosphere seemed out of place here. All the people who had come in had bypassed the table and gone elsewhere, probably wondering how there were four more unfamiliar faces.
"Brother Tie, is the news we got really reliable? Will they really do it at Yue Qingping's birthday banquet? This is not a good choice. One of the middle-aged men frowned, looked at the old man and asked suspiciously.
The old man surnamed Tie nodded with a serious face, and said affirmatively: "It will definitely come, for them, there are only people who want to kill or not, and there is no good or bad time." As he spoke, he raised his head and exhaled, and said lightly, "It will come." His expression was a little solemn.
"I've got to leave something behind!" the young man next to him chimed in, with a hint of disdain on his lips.
"How many times have I told you! Don't always think that you can defeat everyone, your path has just begun, and you don't know enough about the dangers of the rivers and lakes, otherwise you will suffer a big loss sooner or later!" The old man surnamed Tie glared at the young man angrily and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became lively, everyone stood up, clasped their hands into fists and said their birthday greetings to the door of the main hall, and today's protagonist appeared. I saw an old man with gray hair and a handful of beards walking out surrounded by a group of people, it was the owner of Yuejiazhuang, Yue Qingping. The leader of the group of people standing beside him was the middle-aged man surnamed Ma who came to each house today, and it turned out that he was the personal guard of the owner of the Yue family.
"Hehehe, thank you for visiting Bizhuang, how many years rely on everyone's support Yuejiazhuang to develop so far, the old man is deeply gratified, I hope everyone must have fun today, do not be polite to the old man. The old man stroked his beard with a smile and said, looking amiable and having a common demeanor. After finishing speaking, he sat at the table in the center of the banquet, greeted the people around him from time to time, and told the Zhuang Ding around him to pour wine for the guests.
The appearance of the main lord made the atmosphere of the birthday banquet reach the top, everyone began to toast each other, boasting from all over the world, only one person looked at Yue Qingping sitting in the center with a cold face, his brows were furrowed, and he observed the people around him from time to time, looking a little worried, this person was the old man surnamed Tie.
After three rounds of drinking, it actually rained lightly, making the night air a little cooler. Due to the large number of people who came tonight, there were several tables of guests whose tables had been propped up to the open air, and the sudden rain all dripped on people's bodies, dripping into wine glasses and dishes, but the people who drank to their heart's content did not seem to notice it at all.
"Why don't we all sit inside, it's better to squeeze a little than to get drenched in the rain." At this time, the guard surnamed Ma who was standing next to Yue Qingping said to the guests sitting outside the open air.
"It's okay, this little rain is nothing, but we think it's a good hangover, let's have a few more drinks." A man who seemed to have drunk and swayed from side to side said at the top of his throat, it seemed that he was an unusually drinker, and he could no longer care about the posture and etiquette of speaking.
Hearing his answer, everyone laughed, amused by his drunken appearance. Yue Qingping didn't care, he smiled with a deep meaning, raised his voice a little and said with a smile: "Then you just drink a few more glasses, if you can't drink enough today, there will be tomorrow, if you can't drink enough tomorrow, there will be next year, and you have to come next year." Hearing Yue Qingping's words, people laughed even more happily, but the drunk man looked a little embarrassed, scratching his head and not knowing what to say.
"I can't guarantee if you have tomorrow, but I dare to guarantee that you won't have next year!" A cold voice broke the originally peaceful and cheerful atmosphere, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and turned around without a sound, looking for which drunkard with no long eyes came up with such a bold remark. The old man surnamed Tie, who was sitting in the corner, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the gate with a solemn expression.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared at the gate, a group of people with weapons in their hands, blue clothes, and covered faces, slowly climbed the steps and walked in slowly, with a strong murderous aura on their bodies. When he walked to the nearest table, he stopped and looked coldly at Yue Qingping, who was sitting in the middle.
"Who are you! How dare you come to Yuejiazhuang to spread wildness!" The guard surnamed Ma immediately rushed forward two steps, protected Yue Qingping, and shouted loudly at this group of people who seemed to be unkind.
"The one who wants your life!" said a masked man led by the man in blue, who was the one who spoke when he entered the door just now, glanced at everyone present after speaking, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly!" As soon as his words fell, the people who originally pushed the cups and changed the lamps, laughing and scolding were like frightened horses, swarming towards the gate, they were used to the life of the town, how could they have seen this kind of formation, and they had long since lost the spring breeze when they came, and they were so frightened that they ran away.
But in addition to a table of guests, to be exact, it should be four people, that is, the only unfamiliar face of this banquet, the old man surnamed Tie and other four officials, still sitting there quietly, motionless watching everything that happened in front of them.
"It turns out that there are still people from the government here, but I didn't expect that Lord Yue Zhuang also invited people from the government to come, didn't he already know that I was coming?"
At this time, Yue Qingping, who was sitting in the middle, found that there were four officials he didn't know sitting at a table in the corner, and he didn't even notice it at first. Looking at it, he felt a little familiar, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "May I ask if you are an iron male and a fast catcher?"
"That's right, it's down there. The old man surnamed Tie slowly stood up, hugged his fist to Yue Qingping, smiled and continued: "I didn't expect to see Brother Yue again after many years, but it seems that it was not the right time." ”
"Back then, I was fortunate enough to be able to meet a person like Brother Tie, which was also a great blessing in Yue's life, but the rivers and lakes were sinister, and Yue had no choice but to come to this bluestone town incognito, and it was a great pity that he was not able to have a deep friendship with Brother Tie. Yue Qingping also hugged his fist at the old man named Tie Xiong, shook his head helplessly and said, looking very sorry.
Yue Qingping, who was also a popular figure in the rivers and lakes back then, but because he was jealous and hateful, he was too upright and offended many enemies, and later chose to retire to the rivers and lakes because he was tired of the bloody wind and blood in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to be found by the enemy many years later, and he couldn't escape this original fate.
"Brother Yue, now is not the time for us to talk about the old days, let's send this group of uninvited guests away before greetings. Tie Xiong put away his smile and turned his head to look at the group of blue-clothed people on the side and said.
"It turned out to be the famous god Hunting Iron Hero, which surprised me a little. The yin and yang weird man let out a shrill laugh, and suddenly changed his words and continued: "But I advise you not to meddle in things, Yue Qingping must die today, if you dare to stop it, I will make you regret coming to Qingshi Town!"
Originally, I was waiting for someone else, but since the person I was waiting for didn't come, then I'll try to see how many other worldly masters I don't know there are in the red feather!" said Tetsuo staring at the man coldly, clenching his fists secretly.
When the man heard Tie Xiong's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that the other party had already guessed where he came from, and it seemed that he was waiting here, it seemed that it was not so easy to kill Yue Qingping today, and he had to fight quickly. Thinking of this, he didn't stop for a moment, and suddenly rushed towards Yue Qingping like lightning, and his speed was like a ghost!!
Tie Xiong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to say that he would make a move, he came so suddenly, and was about to make a move, but he saw a figure flashing next to him, and a person had already come out to meet the person before him. Don't think about it, this person who rushed out is the son of Tie Xiong, that arrogant youth!
"Feiyun be careful!" Tetsuo shouted, looking nervous.
Looking at the speed at which the young man rushed out, it can be seen that the arrogance of the young man before was not great, and he did have some ability. I saw that he had already met the man in the blink of an eye, and with a low shout, he struck at the man's chest!
I saw that the man sneered, twisted his waist, and gently swept against the young man's fist, and once again attacked Yue Qingping with lightning speed! What a fast move! With just one move, the young man was already at a disadvantage.
The young man obviously didn't expect the other party to dodge his thunderous blow so easily, he snorted angrily, forcibly withdrew half of his fist, twisted his waist and turned around, and kicked the man in the back of the head with a flying leg!
Seeing that he was about to kick the man's head, he suddenly heard a muffled snort, and saw that the young man's body had already flown out like a kite with a broken string, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth! What a fast speed! Come fast, go fast! This is almost like a lightning flash, just when the young man thought that his second move was about to succeed, the man in blue suddenly stretched out a kick backwards while rushing forward, and kicked the young man's lower abdomen fiercely, and then the young man flew backwards. Originally, he was confident that he was going to capture the thief, but he couldn't make two moves under the opponent's hands, was he too young, or was the enemy really strong?
"Protect Feiyun!" Tie Xiong shouted, and as soon as his words fell, he had already quickly chased after the man in blue who was about to rush in front of Yue Qingping! Just as he rushed towards the man in blue, the other two middle-aged men beside him rushed out almost at the same time, picking up the young man who was flying in mid-air in his arms.
The man in blue rushed in front of Yue Qingping, swung out a palm with all his might, and slapped at Yue Qingping's flat door! He didn't even look at the guards standing next to Yue Qingping, as if these people didn't put it in his eyes at all. As long as you are slapped by this palm, you will definitely die!
The guard surnamed Ma, who was standing in front of Yue Qingping, pulled out the knife that straddled his waist and slashed at the wrist of the hand that the man in blue stretched out!
But a startling scene appeared! The man in blue did not back down at all, and let the knife in the guard's hand slash at his wrist!
The guard surnamed Ma was about to rejoice at the moment, only to hear a crisp loud sound of "clanging", and the knife in his hand was unexpectedly bounced back, almost flying out of his hand! He couldn't believe his eyes, staggered back a few steps, and was stunned to see the man in blue rushing towards Yue Qingping again without slowing down at all!
The man in blue who had been stabbed by the guards seemed to be faster than just now! In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Yue Qingping, and his palm struck at Yue Qingping's door like lightning! By the slightest margin! Everyone was stunned, and it was too late to step forward to stop it, so they could only watch all this happen......
