The Yellow River Ten Evils looked at the little golden sword and said in a trembling voice: "You are Li Chengcheng?"

The middle-aged man said: "I have a name and a surname, why do I want to be Li Chengcheng?"

"If you're not Li Qingcheng, how can you know the art of the sword?"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

After the decline of martial arts, in the past ten years, no one on the rivers and lakes has entered the Tongxiang. Not only that, but under the influence of the thinning of the true elements of heaven and earth, those Tongxiang masters who survived the Heavenly Dao catastrophe also fell into the realm one after another. The Elephant Realm was like a high mountain in front of you, blocking all the cultivators behind you.

Beyond the Three Realms?

It has long been a legend.

Even the latest Xiaosheng Jianghu, after the revision, does not admit the existence of the Three Realms. They think that the previous reports were too exaggerated, what a sword breaks the mountain, what is a thousand miles a day, the eyes are detached from reality, and they are not pragmatic enough, so after the revision, Xiaosheng Jianghu has become more down-to-earth. The advantage of being down-to-earth is that there are many small and medium-sized gangs who are willing to spend money to advocate their martial arts and their deeds, so as to gain a certain status and recognition in the rivers and lakes.

Although the rivers and lakes are in decline, Xiaosheng's business in the rivers and lakes is very good.

The middle-aged man took back the golden sword and wiped it with his sleeve, "You shouldn't want this sword, right?"

The Yellow River shook his head again and again.

They want a sword, and the sword will kill them.

Only then did the middle-aged man put the golden sword into his arms, and said lightly: "No matter who instructed you, go back and tell him that he still has five days to escape, and after five days, no matter who wins or loses between Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng, he will definitely die." ”

"Why?"

"Because he shouldn't have thought about this girl, we've had enough of being coerced. ”

The Ten Evils were about to leave, and the middle-aged man said: "This is twenty copper coins, and business belongs to business." ”

After the Yellow River Ten Evils left, the middle-aged man snapped his fingers, and the ropes on Yang Xiling's body were broken, and she asked, "Why don't you kill them?"

"I have no grievances with them, why should I kill them?"

"Then why save me?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth, "I said just now, I lack a girl to call." ”

Miss Yang Xiling was annoyed when she heard this, "Although you saved me, but one yard is one yard, is Miss Ben the kind of person who is a maid?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he picked up the rope and walked towards Yang Xiling.

"What are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man said, "Of course, I tied you up, and then sent it to the Yellow River Ten Evils." ”

Yang Xiling was annoyed, "You weird Shu Xiao, it's really hateful." ”

Whoosh!

Three whistling sounds broke through the air.

The middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly moved, and pounced on Yang Xiling, Yang Xiling was shocked, thinking that he was going to do evil, and scolded: "You stinky rascal!" The next moment, I saw him grab three crossbow arrows in his hand, and shook them in front of her eyes, Yang Xiling realized that he was wrong, covered his heart with his hand, and said with a face full of horror: "These three crossbow arrows almost killed me." ”

"No, it almost wasted my twenty copper plates. ”

For some reason, Yang Xiling felt a little angry when she saw this middle-aged man looking improper, "In your eyes, this girl's life is not as good as twenty copper plates?"

The middle-aged man sighed: "These twenty copper plates, but all my belongings." ”

He threw the crossbow arrow on the ground, "Let's go, little girl, in the past ten days, Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng have not been able to pay attention to you, if you don't want to die too quickly, stay close to me." "Let's go, walk in the direction of Kaifeng City. Yang Xiling was stunned in place, thinking for a while, this person is hateful, but he did save himself just now, and twice.

When people walk the rivers and lakes, they are all freshly dressed and angry.

What I met was not a suave young man, or a noble son of a famous martial arts family, why did I meet a bunch of uncles?

Of course, if they are all as good-looking as Uncle Snow Demon, this woman will endure it, but how can one not be as good as one?

This woman is so hard!

Thinking wildly, she was far behind the middle-aged man, and she trotted a few steps and followed, "Hey, what's your name?"

The middle-aged humanitarian: "Under the surname Zhu, the name is Ren." ”

"Zhu Ren?

The middle-aged man replied: "Hey!"

Yang Xiling realized that she was tricked by the blame Shu Huang, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet, and wanted to leave, but thinking of the ten evils of the Yellow River, and the three arrows shot out of nowhere, she was scared again, so she was full of anger, followed behind the middle-aged man, and didn't say a word, thinking of Kaifeng City, and after meeting with her sister, she would find a way to repair you, a stinky rascal.

Due to the martial arts conference, as well as the decisive battle of Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng, Kaifeng Mansion was ready for battle.

For those who enter the city, the investigation is particularly strict, especially the people in the rivers and lakes who are carrying the blades, in addition to the road guide, if you want to enter the city, either you are a famous and decent family on the rivers and lakes, and you have a master behind you as a guarantee, or pay enough security deposit to ensure that you can not commit crimes during the opening period and cannot be arrested, or you can enter with two locals in the city as a guarantee.

The White Horse Gang has business in Kaifeng, and Yang Xiling did not encounter difficulties when he entered the city, but the middle-aged man encountered some trouble.

"I haven't used this thing for ten years. ”

The city gate official said: "That's not good, go over there and pay the deposit before you can enter the city." ”

"I'm out of money. The middle-aged man said, "There is a girl, why don't you keep her here?"

Yang Xiling said angrily: "Zhu Ren, I'm not your girl!"

The middle-aged man smiled: "You said it doesn't count." ”

Yang Xiling thought about it, couldn't get angry with him, and said to the official at the city gate, "This is a guest of our White Horse Gang, why don't I use our White Horse Gang as a guarantee for him, official, can you?"

The city gate official smiled, "The White Horse Gang is our honored guest of Kaifeng Mansion, and there is a girl, of course there is no problem." However, Miss Yang, Kaifeng City is now

If he commits a crime in the city, your White Horse Gang may be implicated. ”

Yang Xiling waved his hand, "It's okay." ”

After that, he instructed the miscellaneous officials to write the letter of guarantee, and Yang Xiling signed and drew the pledge, and then put them into the city.

Soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, but the city was bustling with activity.

The battle between Zhao Lanjiang, the king of Yinyang, and the white-clothed sword god Li Qingcheng has long been rumored, but for the people in the city, their lives have not changed much. Although Zhao Lanjiang is a big devil, as long as he does not lead a large army to kill, he is only a mortal, what is there to fear? What's more, there are also four or five hundred masters of the rivers and lakes in the world gathered in the city, and as soon as he appears, he will definitely be hunted down by the joint forces of the rivers and lakes.

However, passers-by or passers-by, in the tea and wine shop, when chatting, the most talked about is the battle between these two top masters five days later.

Even the latest Xiaosheng Jianghu has tirelessly reported on the grievances between these two people in their past and present lives.

From being like brothers, to turning against each other.

This topic has its own heat, Xiaosheng Jianghu for business, from the previous semi-monthly magazine, to a five-day magazine, especially in Kaifeng Mansion, almost every issue will be sold out immediately, as if talking about the competition between Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng has become a fashion.

As for the martial arts conference?

It's just an episode in the competition between the two.

Originally, the purpose of this martial arts conference was to select the top masters of the rivers and lakes to deal with the big devil Zhao Lanjiang together.

For this reason, the king of Shu and the king of Yu offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to take Zhao Lanjiang's life. And it was all cash silver, and it was exchanged for 600 catties of gold in China Merchants Bank, which was in the Kaifeng Mansion. As long as someone takes the head of Zhao Lanjiang, regardless of the old and young, women and children, and cashes it on the spot, this is not only for the sake of pacifying the world, but also for the credibility of the court of the King of Shu and the King of Yu.

On the night of the advent of the Heavenly Dao, the jade seal of the country on behalf of the monarch's mandate was stolen by several eunuchs, and its whereabouts are still unknown, and there are so many royal families in the world, how can you prove that you are the real legitimate political power? In addition to dominating the world, you must also establish prestige among the people, and this million taels of silver is quite the meaning of the pillar of the Wu Gate of Wei Ying.

Yang Xiling was hesitating whether to go to her sister, she ran to the Central Plains without permission, Yang Xueqiong didn't know, as for the sword she said, it was just that she was looking for an excuse to go to the rivers and lakes, and now, Yang Xueqiong is in the city, but she hesitated, this Yang woman is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid of her sister.

She followed the middle-aged man and walked down the long street.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man stopped.

Yang Xiling suddenly became nervous, could it be that someone wants to kill me again?

She is in the open, and others are snooping in the dark, which is more unpleasant than direct assassination. Yang Xiling held the knife in his hand and asked nervously, "Is there an enemy?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "No, I smell the wine." ”

Three cups of wine in the red dust, a pot of tea in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The wine is not a good wine, and it is even a little cloudy, but the middle-aged people drink it with relish.

Yang Xiling is also a good drinker, but her mind is no longer on this, and she did not drink with the middle-aged man in one go, but bought the latest issue of Xiaosheng Jianghu from the door and looked at it alone. In the entire Xiaosheng rivers and lakes, the whole story is the battle between the Golden Sword King and the white-clothed Sword God.

The middle-aged man suddenly sighed.

If you say that in this Kaifeng city, who is the most melancholy?

"What are you sighing for?"

The middle-aged man said: "The two best friends want to fight to the death, and whoever it is, they will sigh." ”

"You said that Zhao Lanjiang, the king of Yinyang, and Li Chengcheng?" Yang Xiling closed Xiaosheng's rivers and lakes, "They are really your friends?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the wine glass, and Yang Xiling said dissatisfiedly, "You really treat me as your maid?"

Although Yang Xiling was unwilling, he especially wanted to know who this man was, anyway, the name "Zhu Ren" was definitely not his real name, so he poured him a glass of wine, and the middle-aged man picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said slowly: "Back then, we roamed the rivers and lakes together, at that time, Zhao Lanjiang was not a prince, and Li Chengcheng was not a sword god, we were just three unknown people on the rivers and lakes. ”

Yang Xiling sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?"

"After so many years, one of them is the invincible Golden Sword King, and the other is the peerless white-clothed sword god, and now these two names are almost unknown to everyone in the rivers and lakes, and no one knows them, and what about you? What are you doing now?"

"I am in Dingzhou, I grow food on weekdays, drink wine, and watch the gate in the city tower when I have nothing to do. ”

Yang Xiling said with a smile: "Everyone guards the gate at the city gate, why did you run to the city tower?"

The middle-aged man said: "This door I look at is a bit special. ”

Yang Xiling pouted, "No matter how special it is, it's just a doorkeeper." After saying this, she felt that she was a little mean, so she made up for it, "I don't mean anything else, in fact, the gatekeeper is pretty good, it's just boring." ”

The middle-aged man said: "It's boring. ”

Yang Xiling became interested, "Since you know Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng, who can win this battle five days later?"

The middle-aged man asked, "Who do you want to win?"

Yang Xiling is a little difficult, whether it is Uncle Snow Demon or Lord Hidden Sun, although the two have different personalities and different ways of walking the rivers and lakes, they are really good to me, in terms of fame, King Hidden Yang is better, but Uncle Snow Demon is said to be a famous son back then, with an inscrutable temperament, she doesn't know who she wants to win.

"Why do you have to fight?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the wine glass, Yang Xiling was a little unwilling, but he really wanted to know the answer, so he helped him fill it again.

The middle-aged man said: "This battle was decided by them ten years ago, and both of them are extremely committed people. ”

"You haven't said who has the bigger side. ”

"Ten years ago, Zhao Lanjiang lost to Li Chengcheng. ”

Yang Xiling's mouth opened widely, no wonder when she said that Zhao Lanjiang's sword skills were powerful, Li Qingcheng just said lightly, that's it. It turned out that Uncle Snow Demon had defeated Zhao Lanjiang back then, but since his martial arts were so powerful, why was he so low-key when he walked the rivers and lakes?

"Ten years from now?"

The middle-aged man's wine glass was empty, and this time he didn't have to wait for his signal, and hurriedly poured the wine.

"Li Chengcheng has lived in seclusion in the Great Snow Mountain for ten years, and he has not made a sword for ten years. Zhao Lanjiang is in the world, raising a knife with war, and his killing intent has reached its peak. ”

Yang Xiling recalled that along the way, Zhao Lanjiang's murderous momentum couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Then the Golden Sword King will win?"

The middle-aged man said: "If you don't have a sword for ten years, it doesn't mean that you don't practice." Li Chengcheng practiced the heart sword, and the life in the snowy mountains in the past ten years has made him have no trace of dirt in his heart, and there is no distraction, so if he comes out of the sword, it will definitely be an earth-shattering sword. ”

"Then Uncle Snow Demon will win?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Yang Xiling pursed her lips, "Dare to talk for a long time, you don't know anything, it's equivalent to talking in vain." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, "How can you say it in vain? Anyway, you helped me pour four glasses of wine, which can be regarded as training you to be a barely qualified girl." ”

Yang Xiling said angrily: "You scoundrel!"

Turned around and ignored the middle-aged man, it turned out that this strange Shu Huang was calculating her, thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.

The middle-aged man said: "Now there are hundreds of people from the rivers and lakes in Kaifeng Mansion, almost all the people with some identities on the rivers and lakes have gathered here, they are not Zhao Lanjiang's opponents, but with Li Chengcheng, Zhao Lanjiang will not have the energy to deal with them, it is best for them to lose both, when the time comes, they will rush up, and they may be able to fight for fame." ”

Yang Xiling said: "These people are too hateful. ”

The middle-aged man said: "Don't forget, your sister is also one of them." ”

"My sister is a heroine among women, how can they be compared to my sister?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The White Horse Gang has really done well over the years. Although the gang business was to make money, the grain transported to the Central Plains saved many people from danger. At this point, Yang Nuxia is a woman, and what she does is comparable to that of a hero. ”

A pot of wine to the bottom.

The middle-aged man motioned to the man, and the man handed over the bill, "Master, a total of twenty Wen." ”

The middle-aged man said to Yang Xiling: "Pay the bill." ”

Yang Xiling retorted: "I'm not your Yahuan, where is the reason for letting Yahuan settle the bill?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, he was really cocooned.

But he didn't have any money on him, how could this be good? He had to whisper and said, "Just now I paid twenty yuan to redeem yourself for you, and you help me settle the bill, and we will settle the bill." ”

Yang Xiling said: "The money on my body has already been robbed. ”

Seeing that the two were prevaricating, the guy obviously wanted to repay the debt, and shouted: "Boss, someone wants to eat white food!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt sitting not far away looked up and said, "Man, the list of this hero and the heroine is recorded on me." ”

Yang Xiling saw that this man was very angry, and asked, "Do you know me?"

The man in the shirt shook his head, "I don't know." However, the hero next to him, who has heard of it below, is the parent of food and clothing. ”

"How do you know me?"

The man in the Confucian shirt said with a smile: "The leader of the martial arts alliance back then, the junior brother of Li Chuntie, the dean of Dengwen, the son-in-law of Yuwen Tianlu, the powerful minister of the previous dynasty, the little lover of the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, the master of the Water Moon Cave, the guardian of the Dingzhou Great Array, the dignified hero Xiao Jinyan, who in the world does not know, who does not know?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "When did I have so many names?"

The man in the Confucian shirt smiled, "Some are gimmicks, and the business needs it." ”

Yang Xiling wondered when she heard this, "Xiao Jinyan, is he very famous, why haven't I heard of it?"

The man in the Confucian shirt looked ashamed, "It should be famous, but it's just that my ability is limited, ashamed, ashamed." ”

Yang Xiling said: "Whether he is famous or not, it is his business, what are you ashamed of?"

The man in the Confucian shirt said: "It's not a secret, the surname Wang is the style of Xiaosheng's rivers and lakes." ”

"I've always watched Xiaosheng Jianghu, but I haven't heard of you. ”

The man in the Confucian shirt said: "I was in charge of the divine doctor advertisement, bruise medicine, and strong pills in the past, but I am not willing to be an ordinary collector for the rest of my life. So this time, I came to Kaifeng at my own expense to track and report on Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng's ten-year war, and Xiao Daxia was a friend of these two back then, so he dared to pay the bill for the two of them and wanted to make friends. If Xiao Daxia is convenient, I don't know if I can understand the location of the decisive battle between the two?"

The battle of Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng was known to be in Kaifeng Mansion.

The time is August 15.

But what about location?

Nobody knows.

Now that Zhao Lanjiang has entered the city, there are hundreds of masters in the city, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, all looking for the whereabouts of Zhao Lanjiang. But whether it's Zhao Lanjiang or Li Chengcheng, they just want a fair and pure competition, that's all.

Xiao Jinyan didn't know either.

Because he knew, Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng themselves didn't know.

For a master like them outside the Three Realms, the battlefield can be a place of standing or an entire city, just a thought in their hearts.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What's in it for me?"

Confucian shirt said: "It's not a secret, I'm writing a modern history of the rivers and lakes, including "The Golden Sword Seals the King" and "A Sword in the Alluring City" are nearing the end, the battle between Zhao and Li is going to get first-hand information to continue to write this story to the fullest, if Xiao Daxia is willing to help with this, I will be in the history of the rivers and lakes, for the heroes to do a biography, and it will inevitably be famous for eternity in the future. ”
