Chapter 118: A penny is stumped for a hero

Tang Bujing, Tang Ao and the others saw that Xiao Jinyan and the others were dining not far away, and they had goosebumps in their hearts, and they didn't expect to meet them here.

Everyone present had their own thoughts.

Tang Ao's performance was quite calm, there was some unhappiness between him and the three of them, but they were all some battles of will, and he also suffered a loss, and "gifted" his eleven golden swords to Xiao Jinyan, as long as he swallowed this breath, the world was still beautiful.

Don is different. The grudge between him and Xiao Jinyan has long been settled, and his junior brother and master have all died because of him, although he has been blessed by misfortune and has become the head of the Bashan Sword Sect, but the two sides have been a life-and-death enmity.

As for Pei Renfeng, he was present when the three of them killed Sun Shaoming that day, but he was just a bystander, and there was not much to do with the two sides, so he was the most calm.

However, it was the golden gong Wang Feng Chitose, whose eyes showed a fiery god, he was one of the two banner masters of the Northern Zhou Heavenly Master, and his status in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was extremely respected. This time I went south, and I picked a lot of good players in the Central Plains along the way, many of whom were the heads of some major factions, and they were quite disappointed in the Central Plains martial arts, and felt that the Central Plains martial arts were too famous. Seeing Xiao Jinyan and the other three this time, his heart was itchy, and he couldn't help but say: "Tang Qigongzi, Your Excellency has a holiday with them, if it is inconvenient to make a move, I am willing to do it for you." ”

Tang Ao is a little arrogant, but he is not stupid. He and the three of them have no life and death holidays, but this Feng Chitose took the initiative to ask for the battle and asked for his opinion, which has a deep meaning.

If the two sides make a feud because of this, Feng Chitose can naturally be said to be fighting for the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, that is, the grievances between the Tang Sect and the Li family and the Dengwen Academy in Jinling, rather than the conflict between the Northern Zhou Heavenly Master and the Central Plains Martial Arts.

Tang Ao didn't want to give him this opportunity, thinking of this, he smiled, "It's not a deep hatred, but some jokes are a little too much." ”

Tang Bujing didn't think so, he said to Feng Chitose, "Wind Banner Lord, I have dealt with them, these three boys are very arrogant, they have never put the people in the rivers and lakes in their eyes, and even said that the Northern Zhou Heavenly Master Taoist has a false name, not to mention the Wind Banner Lord, even if Zhang Tianshi is in person, he will still fight all over the ground looking for teeth." ”

Everyone present could hear that Tang Disrespect's words were provocative, but as long as Xiao Jinyan did not deny it in person, it would confirm his statement.

Feng Chitose snorted coldly, "Not very old, but not small, since Your Excellency has insulted the lower master, Feng Someone should not ask the three for advice." Do you go up one by one, or do you go all together?"

Feng Chitose had already seen that the martial arts realms of the three of them were all above and below the Great Knowledge Realm, and even if the three of them did it together, he was sure that he would defeat them within thirty moves.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang, and exchanged glances, this person's martial arts are strong, but it is only one realm higher than them, since he has decided to fight to support the war, then simply go out and survive in a desperate situation.

Xiao Jinyan said, "The three of us still have some things to do in a while, so let's just go together, lest people say that you are disrespectful to the old and bully the small with the big, and you will lose the face of the Northern Zhou Wulin." ”

Jade Rakshasa Chun Yu Yingge said with a smile, "This little brother's speech is really interesting, and it is the first time I have seen it to say that there are many enemies and few enemies in such a high-sounding manner." ”

Xiao Jinyan said that if he didn't fight, forget it.

Chitose Kaze laughed, "Then please." With that, he took off the two-sided golden cymbals he was carrying, and the two cymbals closed together, making a piercing sound, which shocked Xiao Jinyan's true anger for a while.

Xiao Jinyan was awe-inspiring in his heart, this person's weapon is very strange, in addition to being a blade, this golden cymbal can also interfere with people's internal force with sound, I'm afraid you have to be more careful.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly said, "Wait!"

"How?"

"It's okay to compete, but if you don't put some bets, even if you win, it's not interesting. ”

Chitose Kaze smiled and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to a table of dishes and said, "We were originally going to eat the overlord meal, if we win against you, how about you invite this meal?"

Feng Chitose said, "What if you are defeated?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "If you lose, you won't have any money, so you still please." ”

Pei Ruyi, who was watching the excitement on the side, clapped his hands and said, "Interesting, interesting!"

She had already recognized Xiao Jinyan as the person who stopped the horse on the long street today, but she didn't expect it to be a young master who has recently risen on the rivers and lakes, but there are too many young masters on the rivers and lakes recently.

Feng Chitose said, "Let's talk about it after the fight." ”

The three jumped out of the restaurant, followed by Chitose Wind. Everyone on the street saw someone fighting, and they gave up more than ten zhang of the place, but they did not go far, after all, in Fuling City, this kind of battle between rivers and lakes is not very common.

The Pei brothers and sisters stood upstairs watching the battle.

Pei Ruyi said, "Brother, are they the ones you said about Sun Shaoming?"

Pei Renfeng nodded, "Not bad." ”

Pei Ruyi said with a smile, "That Sun Shaoming is not a good thing, the last time he came to Fuling, he actually did something to me, and he killed me well!"

Pei Renfeng said, "Although these three people's martial arts are good, they are afraid that they will be more than lucky." ”

"Is this wind Chitose so powerful?"

"One of the three masters under Zhang Tianshi, the first person in the Northern Zhou Dynasty martial arts, is also a master who can be ranked in the top ten in the Northern Zhou Jianghu, do you say it's powerful?"

Pei Ruyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking at the venue, and couldn't help but worry about Xiao Jinyan and the others.

Xiao Jinyan and the three of them formed horns, and each showed his blade. Feng Chitose said "please", and before the three of them could make a move, they used enough internal force and put the two cymbals together.

Clang!

A cymbal sound was like a needle, piercing into the true qi of the three people's bodies, and the three of them only felt that their bodies were overturned, and their true qi was uncontrollable.

Feng Chitose waited for this moment, the double cymbals swung left and right, attacking the three of them, and Xiao Jinyan punched out and hit him on the shoulder.

Feng Chitose put the cymbal to the side with his right hand and blocked Xiao Jinyan's fist.

Clang!

With another sound, Xiao Jinyan's blood surged.

Seeing the situation, Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang stabbed left and right with a sword and stabbed out, directly taking the two key points of Feng Chitose.

Feng Chitose dodged Li Chengcheng's long sword, and met Zhao Lanjiang's long knife with a golden cymbal, the cymbals intersected, and when there was a loud sound, a huge shock force bounced the long knife, and Zhao Yanjiang's empty door opened.

Feng Chitose turned his feet, bent forward, and suddenly turned the cymbal in his right hand, and the sharp cymbal blade cut into Zhao Lanjiang's chest, if it really hit, Zhao Lanjiang was afraid that he would be split in half on the spot.

Zhao Lanjiang was shocked in his heart, stepped out with his left foot, his body fell back, and kicked out with his right foot, Li Chengcheng's long sword struck over, and Feng Chitose laughed, "It's a trick." His right shoulder sank and crashed into Li Chengcheng.

Bang.

Li Chengcheng was hit, and immediately flew out, breaking a few ribs, and as soon as Fang fell to the ground, he leaned out, and he raised his sword eyebrows

Picking up, it was obvious that he was angry, and with one move "Xiaguang Wandao", the long sword conjured seven or eight sword lights in the air, enveloping the wind Chitose in it.

Wind Chitose retreated again and again, and the double cymbals were another blow. The shock made the three of them stagnate, and he took the opportunity to dodge one of the three major sword moves of the Li family.

Xiao Jinyan saw that this person's moves were weird, and if he attacked head-on, he could always get out with the strange sound made by the double cymbals, thinking of this, he shouted, "Close the hole", pour the true qi between his ears, and isolate the interference of the sound of the double cymbals.

In this way, he couldn't hear the sound of the double cymbals, but he couldn't hear the sound of the moves, Xiao Jinyan released a string force in the sea of knowledge, covering all over his body, using the string force to sense the opponent's true qi and move changes.

This method really worked, and after more than ten rounds of fighting, Xiao Jinyan made a gesture, and the three of them suddenly changed their moves and displayed the nameless knife technique.

A punch, a sword, a knife, the three of them have different blades, but they use the same knife technique, the three of them have already practiced the nameless knife technique, each move, Xiao Jinyan, Zhao Lanjiang, Li Chengcheng respectively performed the knife move before, during and after the three sections, and each has its own changes, and the connection is seamless.

Where has Feng Chitose seen this kind of combined attack technique, and he suddenly became confused, and even his face retreated, and the double cymbal combined attack magic sound did not work. In a hurry, it is necessary to release the law space of the Enlightenment Realm.

The three of them have fought with the master of the Elephant many times, knowing that if they enter the opponent's law space, the three of them will fall into great passivity, Feng Chitose was a little dragged at the beginning, and there was no use of space, and at this moment, he fell into the downwind, how could the three of them give him a chance.

Xiao Jinyan made the eleventh move of the nameless knife technique, this move captured the plate at the beginning, and then changed the move to attack the left and right sides, blocking all the opponent's retreats. If one person uses it, Feng Chitose can still crack it, but Li and Zhao understood it, jumped in the air, and attacked Feng Chitose one left and one right.

Seeing this, Feng Chitose retreated sharply, and the three of them chased after each other, and the wind Chitose twin cymbals swept, and this move cut horizontally at the three of them.

How subtle is the nameless knife technique, Xiao Jinyan turned on one side slightly, came to the left side of Feng Chitose, and suddenly gathered the string force, and suddenly, the heaven and earth string force induction, causing the heaven and earth true yuan to vibrate violently, Feng Chitose only felt that the true qi in his body was pulled by a strange force, and he panicked in his heart, and he was in a hurry.

Xiao Jinyan's peerless divine fist, with the string power of heaven and earth, slammed into the golden cymbals with one punch.

While!

There was a loud bang, which shook everyone and covered their ears.

Feng Chitose retreated three or four feet before he stopped, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes, "How is it possible?"

The gap between the Realm of Transparency and the Great Realm of Profound Knowledge is the gap between the use of true qi and space, and it cannot be made up by the subtlety of moves.

Squeaked.

Feng Chitose looked down at the golden cymbals in his hand, and there were cracks one after another, and he was slightly lucky, and the two golden cymbals were broken jointly.

The trio took a few steps back.

Xiao Jinyan said: "Accept it! Remember to settle the bill!"

Lang said with a big mouth: "Wind Banner Lord, your golden cymbals are broken, now your name as the King of Golden Gongs, I'm afraid it will have to be changed, it's better to be called the King of Golden Slag, how, haha!"

Although Lang Dazui is also one of the two banner masters of Yīn Yang, his status in the Heavenly Master Dao is far inferior to Feng Chitose, and he has never been very obedient to him, and his mouth is extremely mean, and at this moment, seeing that Feng Chitose's blade was destroyed, he couldn't help but laugh at it.

Feng Chitose's face was extremely embarrassed, but the two sides had words first, the two sides were just a competition, not a life and death fight, if they did it again, it would be too ugly, he had a calm face, and said: "The three of them are really good, in today's battle, Feng lost." When he sees him again, he will ask again for advice. ”

After that, he returned to the restaurant with a blue face.

Xiao Jinyan raised his head, and Tang Ao arched his hand towards the three of them and shook his head. Looking for Tang Disrespect again, he disappeared, it turned out that when the golden cymbals were broken, he was afraid that Xiao Jinyan would trouble him, and he had already slipped away.

After the three of them left the restaurant, due to financial constraints, Xiao Jinyan reluctantly took out a small sword, exchanged some silver taels, and found an inn to live in.

Xiao Jinyan used the string force to resist these ten small swords that day, killing Sun Wuxi, I wanted to use this as a medium to practice the art of the hidden sword, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that if it doesn't wait until Hidden Yang City, all the gold has been spent, and I have to quickly find a way to make some silver, which is the right way.

Xiao Jinyan convened the two to discuss economic matters, and the three agreed that it was not okay to sit on the mountain and eat empty, and it was okay to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and everyone had no problem reducing expenditure, but in the matter of making money, the three of them had disagreements.

Li Chengcheng said, "I only spend money, and I am not good at making money." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I can only kill people, and I am not good at making money." ”

The two agreed that as team leaders, they have the responsibility and obligation to earn money and solve urgent problems.

Xiao Jinyan came up with two solutions. Either you sell your art and earn money, or you can be a bodyguard and earn hard-earned money.

Zhao Lanjiang said, "According to me, it is better to find a landlord or a corrupt official and borrow some money from them." ”

"Where are you borrowing, this is clearly robbery, we who practice martial arts, the money must come correctly, and it will be safe to spend it, otherwise what is the difference between us and those green forest robbers in Longhu Village?"

"Anyway, it's all people's fat and people's ointment, we grab a thousand children and eight hundred taels, keep one percent for ourselves, and distribute the rest of the land to the poor, which is also considered a redistribution of wealth. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "As the saying goes, people with lofty ideals don't drink the water of stolen springs, and those who are incorruptible don't get food from them. ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, this can't do that, it can't work, it can only cost your golden sword.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but sigh, "A penny is hard to beat a hero!"

At this time, I heard the guy outside the door say: "Xiao Daxia, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Xiao Jinyan went out and saw three young men with blades pinned to their waists and gangsters squatting at the door, and those people saw Xiao Jinyan and said, "You are Xiao Jinyan?"

"Exactly!"

"You hurt us and lost our jobs, and the brothers came to ask you for an explanation. ”

Xiao Jinyan wondered, "You lost your job, what does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it matters, today are you in a competition with the Northern Zhou Dynasty called a golden gong or a shuanghui, and you won the battle?"

"That's right. ”

"That's right, the three of us were originally senior swordsmen in the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building, and we received a few taels of silver in the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building every month, and today you won that person, so that the eldest lady went back and blasted us out, saying that we are all rice buckets, and my brothers are not convinced, I want to compare with you, are we rice buckets." ”

Xiao Jinyan felt funny and waved his hand, "No need to compare, I'm willing to bow down, you are the real rice bucket!"

"That's not going to work, you'll have to compare to find out. As he spoke, several people carried out three large wooden barrels, which were filled with rice, "Do you dare to compare?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't have a good breath and said, "If it's really better than eating, I have a friend, in Suzhou City Leisure Inn, you can."

Go find him. "It's going to be closed.

"Wait!"

"It's not like eating, it's about swords!"

"I'm still willing to bow down, I'm not as cheap as you!"

The gangster said, "It's not comparable, it's not comparable, you obviously look down on us, brothers' jobs have been smashed, and in the future, you will enter the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building, and you will have our share of the silver you get!"

Xiao Jinyanqi said, "Who said we were going to the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building? What is this Spring Breeze Night Rain Building for?"

The gangster said: "The Spring Breeze Night Rain Building is the first floor in the world, and it has gathered first-class martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes, and if you can become a member of the Night Rain Building, you will have no worries about your livelihood in the second half of your life." Don't pretend, you are majestic in Fuling, don't you just want to go inside to eat and drink?"

When Zhao Lanjiang heard the quarrel, he walked out, frowned, and said, "Why are you talking nonsense with them, just bombing things away." ”

As he spoke, he came to a person and slapped the man to the ground. The man lay on the ground, "You come to fight, if Lao Tzu squeaks, you don't have to mix in the circle." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "What kind of rule is this?"

Li Chengcheng leaned against the door and said with a smile, "This is the rule of the hooligan circle, you either beat him to death, or people will eat you." In the past, in Jinling, there were also a lot of gangsters who ate my family's business. ”

"Can your Li family endure this?"

"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, high and high are rivers and lakes, people are also rivers and lakes in the mud, rivers and lakes, you have to give people a way to live, right?"

Xiao Jinyan said with emotion, "If I had known that there was this way of living, I wouldn't have to live in the City God Temple for the past few years." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said something boring, delayed my sleep, returned to the house, and slammed the door shut.

Li Chengcheng said: "Just so you can communicate, Xiao Daxia, during the journey, there are places to spend money everywhere, master a craft, and our brothers don't need to eat bran along the way, right?"

Xiao Jinyan was angry, "Why don't you learn?"

"I said, it's only about spending money. ”

After that, Li Chengcheng also returned to the house.

Xiao Jinyan and the three gangsters stared at each other with big eyes, and the gangsters said, "What's the matter, if you don't give an explanation today, the brothers won't leave." ”

At this moment, a red shadow rushed in like the wind and fire.

"Xiao Jinyan!"

The person who came was Pei Ruyi, who was the spring breeze and night rain building.

Pei Ruyi saw the three gangsters, "Yang Qi, Gao Shun, Sun Deshui, what are you three doing here?"

The three of them were stunned, "Miss." ”

Pei Ruyi said, "I have something important to discuss with Xiao Daxia, why don't you get out quickly?" The three of them were obviously very afraid of Pei Ruyi, and when they heard the shouting, they hurriedly left.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Miss Pei is looking for Xiao, what are you doing?"

Pei Ruyi smiled and groaned, "I'll settle accounts with you!"

"What's the account?"

Pei Ruyi smiled, looked Xiao Jinyan up and down, and panicked in his heart, "Something to say!"

"I didn't expect it, it's still a hidden master. Pei Ruyi said, "You dragged me off the horse today, making people dizzy, and I guess I broke my body, how do you say to pay for it?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I don't even have money for food, how do you want to pay?"

Pei Ruyi said, "It is estimated that you have no money, so I calculated this account like this, I solemnly invite the three of you to join us in the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building, and be our senior guest secretary of the Night Rain Building, our account will be written off, and there will be ten taels of silver every month, how about it?"

Xiao Jinyan exclaimed: "So many?"

"We are famous for our generosity in the spring breeze and night rain, with a lot of money and little responsibility, and we are only responsible for fighting with me every month, and there is money in the account, how?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "It's not good, we just passed by Fuling, and we didn't have any silver on us, and when we had money, we set off for the west." ”

Pei Ruyi was slightly disappointed, "That's it." ”

This eldest lady is active by nature, has a great love of martial arts, but has limited talent, and Pei Chunqiu has studied for many years, and there is no growth, so she has recruited a group of people in the rivers and lakes, but although there are many people, there are few people who have real talent and real learning, and I saw the three of them today, and I love talents, and I want to invite them to join Yeyulou, but people are not interested, and it is inevitable that there will be some interest.

Pei Ruyi had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Are you short of money?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

Pei Ruyi smiled, "I still have a money-making errand here, are you interested?"

"It's not going to be murder and arson, is it?"

Pei Ruyi laughed, "We are serious people, how can we do this kind of thing, the New Year is coming soon, in a few days, we have a polo tournament in Fuling City, you three know martial arts, if you can help us win the championship in the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building, I will give you a hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

Xiao Jinyan scratched his head, "But I can't play polo?"

The door pushes open.

Zhao Lanjiang said, "I will." ”

Li Chengcheng said: "I will." ”

Polo is a team sport, which is very popular in the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Zhou military, and aristocratic circles. When Zhao Lanjiang was in the border army, polo and wrestling competitions were held in the army every year, and the Fengzi Battalion where Zhao Lanjiang was located won the first place every year, so he was no stranger to polo.

Not to mention Li Chengcheng, Jinling City has become a trend in playing polo, as the gentleman of the year, he is a good boy in juju, cockfighting, and cricket fighting, and as for polo, it is not a problem.

Xiao Jinyan saw that both of them agreed, and said, "It seems that even the two of them can, it shouldn't be too difficult." ”

Anyway, there was no entanglement, and it didn't take long to delay, and there was still silver to earn, so I agreed.

Pei Ru agreed to the three of them, rejoiced in his heart, and said, "Our annual annual polo tournament in Fuling City is very grand, the prefect likes polo, and now it has been held three times, we have lost three times in a row, this year we must win in the night rain building, and give this girl this breath." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Which team won the championship last year?"

Pei Ruyi snorted coldly, "Of course it's the little overlord Zhou Datong, every time that guy wins, he is very arrogant, which makes me lose face." She complained, "You have seen that man today, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost so badly in today's horse race." ”

Pei Ruyi asked, "Just do what you say, you come with me, and I'll go to the horse market to pick a few good horses for you." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Pick between the two of them, I have a donkey." ”

Pei Ruyi said, "We are a polo game, not a donkey ball game, what do you look like if you are a donkey?"

At this time, a woman rushed in, "Miss, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?"

"There's a donkey outside the door who bullied our red pills. ”
