Chapter 8 Anecdotes on the way home, invited by the rivers and lakes
Qin Keji and Yan Wuji have been away from Xingzhou for many days, and now they have come to the border of Jinzhou and settled in an inn in Pingyang City.
Along the way, he rarely spoke, Qin Keji thought that it was the first time he left home, and it was inevitable that he would recognize his life, and he had been gossiping with him on the way, telling him how he was plotted in Xingyang County back then, and how he was rescued by chance when he met Li Yongpan.
Before the two of them entered the inn, a small servant came to lead the horse to greet him, and the little servant shouted: "Master Jun, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Let's have some food first, and then find two rooms next to each other. Qin Keji gave this order, and the little servant left in response.
Yan Wuji's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping happened to be discovered by Qin Keji, and he smiled: "If you have something to say, you don't need to be restrained." ”
Yan Wuqi said: "It's not that Wuji doesn't understand etiquette, but I don't know how to call you." ”
Qin Keji laughed heartily again: "I intend to let my seventh junior brother pass on your martial arts to the First Sword Sect, he is the best martial arts among us, if the sect master approves this, you should call me a master, but I have not yet apprenticed, and I can't be called a master for the time being." In this way, I am an old friend of your uncle, you can call me uncle, but the same sound but different words. ”
Yan Wuzhi was unexpected, and asked, "Why do inns always call you 'military master' along the way?
Qin Keji pointed to his sword and said: "Well, because of this! I am martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, and the management of the people's own weapons is not as harsh as in the previous dynasty, but even if the imperial court relaxes the control of weapons, ordinary people will not easily wander around the street with swords in their hands and cause unnecessary trouble, in the eyes of passers-by, there are no more than two kinds of people who carry swords on the street, one is the dignitaries, most of these people hold swords for decoration, so as to show their status; The shopkeeper saw that you and I were dressed simply, and it was expected that we were not rich and noble people, so he called the military master, this little er is also clever, but he is short-sighted, how does he know that in addition to the rich and officials in the world, the disciples of my sword sect can also go out with a sword openly, which is a holy license. ”
When Qin Keji said this, his pride was overflowing, and then he said: "What they don't know is that there is an essential difference between the sword sect and the swords of the official army, although the standard saber of the official army is called a sword in the mouth, it is actually a sword. In the ancient books, there is a cloud of 'the sword, straight, double-edged, and the sword, bent, single-edged'. ”
Yan Wuzhi suddenly asked, "Isn't that the whole world wrong?"
Qin Keji said with a smile: "It's not so absolute, it's actually because the blades produced by my Tang Dynasty are different from those of previous dynasties, call it Tang Sword, it is obviously a single edge, call it Tang Sword, it is straight, so you can call it anything." The swords held by our Yijian Sect are all orthodox Han sword shapes, and in order to distinguish between the two, we are more accustomed to calling the imperial court standard blade 'Tang knife'. ”
After finishing speaking, Qin Ke used his palm to instill internal strength into the scabbard, and the sword popped out by itself by more than half a foot without pulling it out with his hands. Although Yan Wuqi had seen Qin Keji's martial arts, an eight-year-old child was still very excited to see such magical powers again.
"This sword is called 'Gangzheng Sword' is passed down by the ancestors, and I have recast it after the blade is rolled, and it is an 'eight-sided sword'. The orthodox Han sword has the saying of 'four-sided', 'six-sided', and 'eight-sided', the four-sided Han sword is light in texture and sharper, and the 'heart-casting sword' of the seventh junior brother is a superb four-sided sword; the eight-sided Han sword is solid and heavy, and the destructive power is also stronger; and the six-sided sword is in between. The Tang knives produced by the government workshop are also divided into four styles......" Qin Keji didn't finish speaking, and the meal came up, "Let's eat first, and then talk about Tang knives later." ”
At this moment, Qin Keji suddenly felt that someone seemed to be watching him behind him, a master like him, his senses were much stronger than ordinary people, and when he turned around, there were really three big men at the dinner table in the distance who were pointing at him, and he turned around suddenly, and the three people didn't have time to dodge, and several people looked at each other.
When the three of them saw that they were discovered, they were also upset, and the older one got up and hugged his fists and said: "In the Liu family in Pingyang, Liu Yiquan, these two are my nephews and nephews, dare to ask your Excellency which way of friends, can you come over and talk about it?"
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, and you can't change your surname. Qin Ke poured the tea by himself, without the slightest intention of wanting to pass.
When Liu Yiquan and the others heard the words "One Sword Sect", they all stood up, Liu Yiquan stepped forward, hugged his fists again and said: "The head of the family, Liu Yitong, is a disciple of your sect, which one is your Excellency a master?"
Hearing that it was a disciple of his own sect, Qin Keji's face softened a lot, and he replied slightly: "Zimen." ”
If the name of "One Sword Sect" shocked the three people surnamed Liu, then the word "Zimen" was really a bolt from the blue to them, even if their own head saw this person, he would be respectful.
The three of them were about to kneel down, Qin Keji's eyes were quick, and he suddenly exerted his strength, but before his hand arrived, the palm wind came first, and he used internal force to help the knees of the three people who knelt halfway up. "It doesn't have to be like this, all the brothers in the One Sword Sect don't kneel when they meet, please sit down. ”
It's really funny, Qin Keji is afraid that he has forgotten the appearance of kneeling when he saw his life-saving benefactor a few days ago.
Seeing Qin Keji talking like this, the three of them relaxed a lot, and they sat down, and Liu Yiquan said again: "We thought that Qin Daxia was found by the Tiger Head Gang to help, but we didn't expect it to be my own family. ”
Qin Keji saw that Liu Yiquan was older than himself, but he called himself an elder, he was very embarrassed, and in order to ease the embarrassment, he hurriedly asked: "What kind of gang is the Tiger Head Gang, and what is the matter with helping?"
"Back to Qin Daxia, our Pingyang is a place that produces well salt, and the government's well salt production has been entrusted to our Liu family to supervise the work, but recently there have been a lot of sea salt on the market, and I don't know where it came from. Liu Yiquan did not hide it and told him completely.
Qin Keji said awe-inspiringly: "Selling illicit salt is a serious crime, and it will be punished as treason.
Liu Yiquan lowered his voice and said: "The Tiger Head Gang is just a group of local bullies, so naturally they don't have the courage to do this, and the government is all behind it." The head of the family reported to the government, but the county decree said that the case could not be filed without solid evidence, and even threatened to arrest us for the crime of obstructing official business if it were not for the fact that we had been in love for many years. Liu Yiquan said again: "The matter of reporting to the official has reached the Hutou Gang, and their gang leader has asked me to make a private decision in the woods outside the city at three o'clock tonight, and intimidate the Liu family. ”
One of the sons and nephews of the Liu family said: "Since the government doesn't care about it, it can only be private, if it's just a martial fight, we are not afraid of his Tiger Head Gang, but I heard from the grapevine that they have some connections with Vientiane Gate, and they have found a lot of good people in the rivers and lakes to help, which is tricky." ”
Liu Yiquan thought for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "The younger generation has the courage to ask Qin Daxia to help me, if Qin Daxia avoids the friendship of the same family, it is difficult to do it, just scare them away, we can not do the errand of Yantian supervisor, but the lives of family members are a big deal." ”
Qin Keji said righteously: "What kind of words is this! If there is really such a thing, even if there is really the support of the Vientiane Gate, Qin Mou is not afraid of him, even if the Vientiane Gate is powerful, he can't be a traitor, I will go with you tonight." In fact, Qin Keji wished that the Vientiane Gate was also involved in this matter, and finally caught their handle.
The three of the Liu family left happily, and agreed to come to the inn to pick up Qin Keji when the time came.
After dinner, Yan Wuji listened to him tell some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes in Qin Keji's room, and was talking about the wonderful things, when he heard someone knocking on the door, it must be someone from the Liu clan, Qin Keji appeased Wuji, and waited for him to come back and continue to tell the story.
When Qin Keji came to the woods, he saw that the two sides were holding torches and carrying blades, and they had lined up their postures, and they had the strength to fight at any time.
This person was very wilted, looking overindulgent, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I didn't know that the master of the One Sword Sect had arrived, forgive my sins, and be the leader of the Tiger Head Gang, Zhao Fan." Since you have come forward, it's just that, the farmland belongs to their Liu family, and everyone will disperse, okay?"
Qin Keji thought to himself: "That little man must have recognized him, why don't I have any impression of this person?" He immediately replied: "If it's just a trivial matter of land property, Qin Mou doesn't ask, I still have to live in Pingyang City for a few days, if I find out that you and others are involved in the business of the killer head, Qin Mou will definitely take care of it, and now you can go." ”
Zhao Fan was very flamboyant, and he hurriedly led people back to the city after a few words, and was stopped by Qin Keji loudly after walking twenty or thirty steps: "Zhao Gang Master, stay here!"
Zhao Fan thought that Qin Keji had changed his hexagram, and asked strangely, "What other instructions does Qin Daxia have?"
Qin Keji said: "The big tree next to you is about ten zhang away from me, if Qin is lucky enough to let this dead branch be inserted in the trunk, you and the Liu family will no longer be able to fight privately in the future, let alone do that dirty deed and embarrass their family." As for whether you are engaged in illegal trading, I will deal with you after I find out. ”
After Qin Keji said this, he picked up a small branch from the ground, and threw it casually, and the small branch flew over like a hidden weapon, and with a muffled sound, it was inserted into the big tree, leaving only a tailtip. The sky was too dark, the distance was far away, Liu's side couldn't see the result clearly, but Zhao Fan could see it, he just felt a little thing flying by his ears, and before he had time to come back to his senses, he saw the small branch inserted in the trunk of the tree, and his heart was cold, if it hit himself, he would rest!
"The master has been taught by the supernatural powers, and the Tiger Head Gang promises not to entangle the Liu clan in the future, and say goodbye!" Zhao Fan said this, but the Liu family heard it really well, and the voices of complimenting Qin Keji were endless.
Then the people of the Liu family also hugged Qin Keji and entered the city.
