The long sword behind his back was automatically unsheathed, and the sharp edge poured out with that line, and the broken wooden stick fell to the ground, and the cut was smooth and flat.

The remaining momentum was unabated, and the invisible momentum spread, and the exclamations of the seven people sounded one after another, flying backwards.

As soon as the sword came out of the sheath, Dou Qichu knew what the result was, and he didn't look behind his back at all, the long sword flew out and held it in his hand, clenched the long sword in his hand, and stabbed it out with a sword.

A few reactions before and after, but it was completed in the blink of an eye, and by the time this sword stab came, Xia Xiang's fists had not yet arrived.

As soon as his palms were closed, he could be caught before the long sword stabbed his throat, Dou Qi didn't let it go, and with a spit of strength, the sword bloomed with white light, and in an instant, Xia Xiang's palms broke through the defense, and drops of bright red blood fell into the soil.

"Take the knife!" I don't know who roared not far away, and a wide long knife flew towards Xia Xiang in the air.

The two looked upwards at the knife at the same time, Xia Xiang did not jump up, but threw a punch towards Dou Qichu, this punch was not like just now, and it was very powerful.

There was a bang in the air, and when the man in white on the opposite side pulled back as he expected, Xia Xiang jumped up and grabbed the knife in his hand.

In fact, if you want to block, there are at least four ways to stop the punch Dou Qichu just now, and even don't give the other party the slightest chance to take the knife, but since the other party is using the knife, wouldn't it be a lot less fun to not give the other party a knife.

Clenching the handle of the knife in his right hand, his majestic body was still in mid-air, Xia Xiang volleyed and slashed in the air, heading straight for Dou Qichu.

The knife is fierce, the speed is extremely fast, and the air pressure directly splits the snow on both sides, and Dou Qichu, who is dressed in white, stands under the knife, with black hair flying and his eyes shining.

This is, Little Lotus Mountain, Hell Sealing Knife Trick!

......

Another few days passed, and things in the city did not make any progress, not only did the female assassin disappear, but even Liu Mang, who had found the person, disappeared, as if the two of them had disappeared from the world at the same time.

Because of this, Xia Lingling was furious, and the first to bear the brunt was Ning Yi, even the guards were bloody, and Xie Erdong, who was the party concerned, naturally couldn't escape, and he was scolded by Ning Yi again.

Walking out of the garrison mansion, Xie Erdong was simply full of grievances and couldn't speak, he was the biggest victim, and now he has become the biggest backbiter.

Fortunately, Ning Yi remembered the old relationship and gave him another chance, a grace period of ten days, if he couldn't make progress after ten days, he could only be demoted.

It is worth mentioning that the matter about the knife and the buyer and seller also told Xie Erdong that as long as one of these things can make progress, it can be let go.

Walking on the long street, thinking about things, the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and Schelle kicked out angrily, kicking a stone on the side of the road.

After thinking about it, Xie Erdong walked towards Hutong Alley.

Today's Hutong Lane is not what it used to be, as long as he thinks of the situation on that day, Xie Erdon's face still shows disbelief.

In the past few days, not counting the previous events, the most lively thing in the entire Dade County is the little-known inn in Hutong Lane.

First, Zhou Xiangwen, the young master of the Zhou family, feasted the guests in the inn, and the people who could participate in the banquet were all the children of wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who were famous in the city.

Immediately afterwards, the sky-high price of fifty taels of silver was offered, just to ask for a couplet, the kind suitable for sticking at the main entrance of the inn.

Speaking of which, even if most literati like money, they will fake a high level, so as not to make so many people rush to it, and fifty taels of silver is a lot, but it is not particularly much.

But I don't know why Young Master Zhou's matter has been rumored so much, and there are not many people in the entire Dade County who know about it.

Even the ordinary people who don't have that idea can join in the fun, pay close attention to this matter, and some people are waiting outside Hutong Alley early.

What is this called, this is famous, as long as anyone's couplet can win the first place, it will not only be circulated among their literati, but also by the common people.

And looking at Young Master Zhou's posture, he wants to support this inn, and in the future, this inn may be able to develop into an existence comparable to those famous buildings in the city.

What a great opportunity for their couplets to be posted in front of such an inn, how many people will be sent to the inn?

If you say that these literati can still hold it if they pretend to be high, but for the sake of this name, it is completely crazy.

still maintained a bit of literati reserve on his face, and when they chatted with each other before, they all said that they were not too interested in this matter, but they refused to lag behind others at all.

Even the couplets that I secretly wrote at home threw away five or six sheets, for fear of being inferior.

Until the arrival of that day, the still dilapidated small inn, the gray threshold was about to be flattened, and there were more than five red silk soft sedan chairs that fell in front of the alley.

The rest of the high-headed horses, tasseled pearl sedan chairs, etc., filled the narrow and crooked Hutong alley.

Wealthy merchants in brocade clothes and ermine furs wore velvet felt hats, scholars and literati with incense sachets or jade pendants hanging from their waists, and people with faces in the city walked into this inn that they had never even heard of.

The tables and stools in the lobby had long been vacated by Liu Yuan and Xu Ming, and a large round table was replaced, but even so, it still looked extremely shabby.

Just after these people came in, there was still a feeling of being a little fluffy.

No matter who it was, they didn't have a good impression of this little broken inn, and they all frowned more or less after coming in.

At first, I thought that this inn could develop into several famous buildings, but after I came, I dispelled this idea.

Thinking about it again, anyway, it is also for Young Master Zhou to give face to the Zhou family, and as for the inn, it doesn't seem so important.

Since the inn is like this, a few people have nothing to look forward to the dishes in the inn, after all, what haven't they eaten?

At this point, everything was expected by Liu Yuan, Xu Ming, and Young Master Zhou, including the whispered chatter of several of the wealthy merchants, revealing a little disdain for the inn either explicitly or secretly, and they all listened to it.

But they weren't worried at all, and they were all confident about what was to come.

Zhou Xiangwen was in the inn early, and at this moment, his face was full of enthusiasm and greeted the guests to sit down, and there was no half on his face, feeling that he was in such an inn.

The lobby was peaceful, at least on the surface.

The back kitchen is very lively, after all, Liu Yuan has never prepared such a large banquet, and it is normal to be a little in a hurry.

"Eggplant, come on, come quickly, yes, that's it, eh, let you wash the eggplant so slowly, and then throw that fish over...... If you throw a fish, you will stone me to death......" Liu Yuan's crackling mouth was like a series of arrows, and he instructed a man to do something.

This person is not an outsider, it is Miss Pei who has been disguised in the City God Temple.
