Turning the hill, there is a teahouse.

Xiao Shifeng and his entourage of five people went south non-stop, and as soon as they left Beijing, some of their subordinates suggested that they rest at the teahouse in front.

It was July, Xiao Shifeng looked up at the sun, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was very spicy. They set off before noon, and now they have left Beijing, and it is time to rest.

So, Xiao Shifeng ordered his subordinates to stop the horses and enter the store to drink a pot, and by the way, feed the horses some forage and water.

They were greeted by a young couple with great hospitality.

Xiao Shifeng asked: "Shopkeeper, is it just you within a radius of ten miles outside Beijing?"

I heard the husband reply: "There is only one family, this radius of ten miles, the smoke and dust are billowing out, but not many shops are willing to open here." ”

"Why is that?" Xiao Shifeng continued: "According to common sense, this road leads directly to Kyoto, and there is an endless stream of guests, and business is sure to be done. ”

"That's what I said. The husband wiped his sweat and said: "The master doesn't know, now that it is peaceful today, the people have been stable for a long time, and the livelihood of Shannan and Shanbei is the same, but no one will run to Kyoto to make a living." Besides, business in the city is clean and neat, unlike us who do business on the road, and we have to bargain. ”

Xiao Shifeng put down his saber and sat down, and said with a smile: "Also, it's hard for you." Shopkeeper, two pots of high-quality yellow chrysanthemum are coming, and we have to hurry. ”

"Okay, wait. The shopkeeper turned around neatly and went off with his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Shifeng motioned for the other four to sit down and asked, "You usually train, do you have anything with Tianlongwei?"

The four subordinates looked at each other: "No." ”

"Why?"

"Back to the master's words. The man in the lead said: "Tiangang protects the master, and the earth guards the palace." We Tiangang usually specialize in fighting alone, and Disha learns to arrange troops, so we can't train together. ”

Xiao Shifeng smiled: "Yes, it's still Tiantu thoughtful." ”

"The general has no details on weekdays, and the night before he left, he told me not to let the master eat strangers' meals casually. ”

"Hahaha. It's a good one, no matter how big or small. Xiao Shifeng grabbed the arm of the man who came to deliver the tea and said to the four: "Didn't you say that you haven't seen the earth?"

Xiao Shifeng tilted his head and looked at the man, the man's face changed, and he hurriedly put down the tea and knelt down on one knee: "Eighteen, meet the master." ”

The other four people also stood up in surprise, only to see Xiao Shifeng walking towards the proprietress with his back hand, and the proprietress also knelt down: "Seventeen, meet the master." ”

Xiao Shifeng asked, "Did Tiantu send you?"

"Yes. These two earth demons didn't dare to raise their heads, and when they saw through Xiao Shifeng, they both had a little ugly face.

Xiao Shifeng turned to the four subordinates and said, "Have you seen it?" I'm afraid that all the inns and teahouses along the way are all evil people, and they are afraid of strangers' food!"

The four of them could hear Xiao Shifeng's anger from the words, and they all lowered their heads.

Xiao Shifeng was still angry and said, "How many people are here?"

"Master, the seventy-two earthly demons have all set off. ”

"Move?" Xiao Tiantu became even more angry: "What are you doing! The prince was just attacked by the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes a while ago, how can you leave your post without permission to defend the palace!"

"Master, General Xiao has ordered the golden armor guards to guard the palace, and sent the forbidden army handles. I waited to leave Beijing to protect the safety of my master. ”

"Even so, that's not allowed! I don't know if someone has a lot of eyes and exposes himself to the truth?" Xiao Shifeng's face recovered, but he was still angry.

At this moment, a soldier Pegasus came to report and sent Xiao Tiantu's handwritten letter.

Xiao Shifeng personally opened it and looked at it, and the letter was to the effect that the seventy-two earthly demons were the same as the thirty-six Tiangang, both of whom were multi-skilled, hiding in the shadows, and accompanying them like shadows. Although the world is peaceful now, the hidden dangers of the remnants of the previous dynasty and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes have not been eradicated. Although Xiao Shifeng secretly went south, it was difficult to keep the eyes and ears in the palace to report the news, so that the enemy could take advantage of it. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to let the seventy-two earthly demons go together to protect Xiao Shifeng's safety. After all, there are many capable people in the world, and it is difficult to ensure the appearance of killers who are unfavorable to Xiao Shifeng.

Seeing this, Xiao Shifeng also knew that this matter of leaving Beijing should not be careless, if he died, the young prince would definitely not be able to control the current seemingly stable but internal and external troubles, so that the new dynasty would be burned to the ground, and it would be too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shifeng put away his gloom, and just admonished: "It's okay." But you remember three things, the first is not to disturb the people, the second is not to disturb my diet and daily life, and the third is not to disturb the rivers and lakes. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. The two demons finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taiping City falls north of Eagle Slope.

As soon as He Zhennan came back, he told Xiao Tiantu about the situation of today's martial arts conference, although Yang Feng was an accident, but it seemed that everything was under Xiao Tiantu's control.

Xiao Tiantu said: "This kid is stubborn and careless, if I hand over such a big matter to him directly, I'm afraid it will be messed up." Fortunately, he said hello to Lao Liu in advance, which made him think that Lao Liu had been deceived by him. It's also thanks to his brains that he came up with such a move, although it was ridiculous, but it also got the effect. Otherwise, if you want to pick one of the eight hundred gold armor guards who can fight him, it will be easier, but it is still a little worse than the master of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance. ”

"The general's trick is also clever, but Long Yingtian is not a good person, Ling Lang is there for him, I am afraid that there will be more trouble after a long time, so it is better to pick it up earlier. ”

"Since Long Yingtian will give face to Master He, I don't believe that he dares to go against the court now. Xiao Tiantu seemed to be confident: "That kid is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and it is not a bad thing to let him stay in the Dragon and Tiger League for a few more days to endure hardships." ”

When He Zhennan heard this, his face was displeased, but it was difficult to say it. Xiao Tiantu has always had the intention of belittling the rivers and lakes and raising up the imperial court, which He Zhennan knows better than anyone else.

"In that case, the old man will not be nosy. He Zhennan's words changed: "On the Qingzhu weapon spectrum, the old man's Wanjun sword ranks third, and the general's Shenlong slash ranks tenth, all of which are heavy swords, I don't know if I can understand it today." ”

Xiao Tiantu glanced at He Zhennan, knowing that he was displeased, so he obeyed his heart: "I heard that Master He was obsessed with martial arts, and it was really so." Now that Master He has spoken, Xiao Mou has made an axe. ”

"Don't hesitate to teach. He Zhennan made a gesture of please, and his two subordinates each presented their swords.

Wan Jun Sword, the sword of the head of the Lei Zhen Sect in the past dynasties, has been passed down for seven generations. Legend has it that the method of forging is different from ordinary sword weapons. Ordinary swords are mostly cast by fire, but this Wanjun sword is made of thunder, the sword body is smooth and bright, and there is often thunder when it comes out of the sheath.

And the Divine Dragon Slash is a sharp weapon given by the Xuanqing people of the Nine Xuan Dao Sect in the past, and Xiao Tiantu has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years before using it.

It is rumored that the power of the dragon slash is amazing, and it can kill evil dragons, so it is named after it. Xiao Tiantu relied on this saber to take the first rank of tribute general in the army and became famous in a battle.

The two famous weapons, the first confrontation in the world, the sword body touched, as if sympathizing with each other, and as if secretly competing, the sound was continuous, accompanied by trembling.

As the two separated, the ground had begun to fly. This is a contest between the two masters in the world in terms of internal strength.

Xiao Tiantu is a general of the imperial court, although he has experienced a hundred battles, he is not as domineering as He Zhennan. Under the stalemate, He Zhennan chose to take the initiative to attack.

With a loud shout, the Wanjun Sword rolled like thunder in the sky, and the sand and stones on the ground actually gathered and flew towards Xiao Tiantu. Xiao Tiantu rarely fought alone, but he was also obsessed with martial arts, seeing this scene, he shouted with joy, and the divine dragon slashed violently, and the sword qi was rampant, breaking He Zhennan's chaotic stone formation, and approaching him.

With such internal force, He Zhennan sighed, no wonder Xiao Tiantu, as a general of the imperial court, can also occupy a position on the list of Qingzhu heroes.

It's a pity that the opponent in front of Xiao Tiantu is He Zhennan, a martial arts wizard who is rare in fifty years.

Wan Jun's sword rose with the wind, blocking Xiao Tiantu's sword qi.

He Zhennan's feet were like stepping on the wind, holding a sword and approaching Xiao Tiantu.

With a sword down, Xiao Tiantu instinctively blocked, but his feet knocked out two pits on the land.

The strength of He Zhennan's sword, although it only used eighty percent, was already a thousand powers. If ordinary martial arts practitioners are hard connected, they will definitely have all their internal organs broken. In today's martial arts, I'm afraid there will be no more than twenty people who can follow hard.

He Zhennan has long known that Qingzhusheng's hero list is not child's play. Xiao Tiantu dared to take it, which proved that he was more confident in his martial arts.

Sure enough, Xiao Tiantu was lucky in time, and the Divine Dragon Slash slid forward, forcing He Zhennan to turn over in mid-air, Xiao Tiantu rolled, turned into the air, and slashed down with a sword in his right hand.

He Zhennan also blocked with a horizontal sword, and he had already gained a firm foothold.

This attack and defense, the two of them have come and gone, ordinary people can't see the way, but the master can see it.

Xiao Tiantu was obviously a little weak when he received He Zhennan's blow, but Xiao Tiantu's all-out attack, He Zhennan was able to block it lightly. If the two of them are the top masters in the world, within a hundred moves, Xiao Tiantu can barely face He Zhennan, and after a hundred moves, this Xiao Tiantu will definitely be defeated.

He Zhennan's way of cracking is very different from Xiao Tiantu. He actually changed to a one-handed sword block, and the palm of his right hand was strong, attacking Xiao Tiantu. Xiao Tiantu was shocked, and he had already turned over and flew away from He Zhennan's side.

"Offended. As soon as Xiao Tiantu landed, he gave up.

"He loves to learn from masters in his life, and General Xiao is really good at martial arts. "He Zhennan's manly husband, this can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

Master He smiled. Xiao Tiantu said modestly: "The head of the He sect is really the martial arts Taishan Beidou, compared to the sword saint twenty years ago, it is already better than the blue." ”

He Zhennan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "When the old man was young, he was fortunate to witness the sword master playing the sword, which was both rigid and soft, mixed with all kinds of changes, and the old man really sighed to himself. Even today, half a hundred years old, he doesn't dare to compare with the Sword Saint. ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "It's getting late, it's better to go to the house to stay overnight, and then rush to the trip tomorrow, okay." ”

"It couldn't be better. ”
