Chapter 140: To be old and not to die is to be a thief
Lu Yuan has two options.
Let go, the knife fell, and dodged the earth-shattering blow of Zhao Lanjiang.
Take the call, fight hard, but risk injury.
Lu Yuan is a swordsman, and he chose the latter without hesitation. He poured his true qi into the Qilin Knife.
When!
A huge sword force struck, and Lu Yuan retreated two zhang before he stopped his figure. Looking at the unicorn knife in his hand again, it broke from the upper third.
The blade flew out and nailed to the pillar.
Lu Yuan was surprised in his heart, when he fought with Zhao Lanjiang, he had already figured out Zhao Lanjiang's knife technique, although he had reached the realm of returning to the basics, but he also simplified the complex and had his own knife intent.
Lu Yuan's knife actually forced Zhao Lanjiang to break through the realm, and it was also a half-step through the image realm, and what was even more unbelievable was that the knife gang he used was a very rare black gang on the rivers and lakes.
Lu Yuan was defeated.
Although he was not seriously injured and did not fall into the ring, but as a swordsman, the knives were broken, so what victory could he talk about?
When he went down the mountain to practice, the master of the heavenly boy father said, the rivers and lakes are big, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, these days, he has fought all the way, and has not encountered a few enemies, his heart will inevitably swell, today and Zhao Lanjiang battle, he seems to have returned to the beginning of the year to learn the knife.
After Zhao Lanjiang landed, he did not make a move.
Lu Yuan is also a person who can afford to let go, and said: "I'm defeated!"
"It's just a fluke!"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Although I was defeated, your knife just now made me see the future." ”
Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Future?"
"Not bad!" Lu Yuan stretched out his index finger and said, "One year! One year later, I will come to fight with you again, and I hope you will not let me down when the time comes." ”
Zhao Lanjiang knew that this person's sword skills were powerful, but the battle with him was also the happiest battle since he learned the knife, so he nodded briskly, "Okay!"
Lu Yuan laughed, "Tang Sanbao, hehe, with your martial arts, you will definitely not be subordinate to the Tang family, can you tell me your real name?"
Zhao Lanjiang took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "Suzhou, Xiao Jinyan is also!"
Lu Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand to clench his fist, and said that there would be a period later, and inserted the Qilin broken knife into the scabbard, and went down the mountain.
Zhao Lanjiang stepped out of the ring, and Xiao Jinyan came over and asked, "You seem to have mentioned my name just now, I don't know what?"
Zhao Lanjiang said casually, "That Lu Yuan has a younger sister, who said that he wanted to introduce you and ask me about your name." ”
Xiao Jinyan asked with great interest, "Is his sister beautiful?"
"It's unbearable!"
Xiao Jinyan sighed, "Then forget it." ”
Zhao Lanjiang said, "I said that you are vulgar and unbearable. ”
The next game is Li Chengcheng vs. Li Changsheng.
This morning, everyone on the rivers and lakes already knew that Li Changsheng was the sixth young master of the Li family in Jinling, this person was born in a famous family, and he looked like a talent, although Tang Erbao looked good, but after all, he was a subordinate and had a few martial arts, but he would definitely not be the opponent of the Li family in Jinling, and they were all waiting to see Li Chengcheng being abused.
Li Datong also said hello and asked Li Chengcheng to deliberately lose to Li Changsheng, which was also the meaning of the Tang Mansion.
As soon as the two got into the ring, Li Chengcheng said, "Let's compare two moves, I'll see if your martial arts have fallen." ”
Some people in the audience stopped doing it, "What a big breath, you dare to talk to the sixth young master of the Li family in Jinling like this! Boy, in my opinion, you should give up your sword and admit defeat!"
There are also humanitarians, "What's so great about the Li family in Jinling, Tang Erbao, I support you and beat this sixth young master down." ”
Of course, Li Changsheng didn't take these words to heart, and said a little confused, "I've been busy spending money in the past two years, where can I have time to practice martial arts." I think this third lady of the Tang family is also good-looking, or I'll let it go to you. ”
Li Tingcheng's face sank, "I've already helped you find a good sister-in-law." ”
"Han Xin ordered soldiers, the more the merrier. ”
Li Chengcheng was furious, and stabbed with his sword, it was one of the three major sword moves of the Li family, "Xiaguang Wandao", Li Changsheng was shocked when he saw it, "I'm just joking, are you really here?"
As he spoke, he pretended to block, retreated backwards, and jumped out of the ring, leaving Li Tingcheng standing in the ring in a daze.
Li Datong frowned, how could Li Liugongzi jump down? This was not the way it was arranged.
"This game doesn't count, rematch!"
Li Changsheng said, "No, I can't beat it!"
The heroes in the audience stopped doing it, "The sixth young master of the Li family in Jinling, he can't even beat a family member in the Tang Mansion, wouldn't it be a shame to say it?"
"Yes, Young Master Li, there won't be a secret in this, right?"
Li Changsheng said in his heart that if he couldn't beat others, it would definitely be a shame, his sixth young master couldn't beat the third young master with the highest talent in the Tang family, then it would be normal anymore, and when I returned to Jinling City, maybe the uncle would reward me.
Thinking of this, he said loudly, "It's because I don't know how to learn the arts, this young man's swordsmanship is superb, even in my Jinling Li family, the younger generation can't find one whose swordsmanship is higher than him, and I am convinced." ”
This sentence not only recognized the cowardice, but also secretly slapped Li Chengcheng's ass, and Li Changsheng was inevitably proud in his heart.
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, and the referee announced that Li Chengcheng was promoted.
Xiao Jinyan found Zhuang Xiaoxian, who was warming up in the audience, and said in a low voice, "In the next game, Li Huyuan let me lose to you, I will simply abstain, and you will advance directly." ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian's eyes widened and said, "No." ”
"Why?"
"If you don't play, won't it seem that I am invincible? Miss Tang San is watching the battle from the audience! After a while, you scold me first, and the more ugly the scolding, the better. ”
Xiao Jinyan was puzzled: "Scolding you?"
"Yes, this can create a comedic effect, let's take a dozen moves on stage, I pretend I can't beat you in front, remember to be thrilling.
There is a move in my swordsmanship called left and right, in twenty moves, I blink my right eye, you hit my right, I blink my left eye, you hit my left, I will seal you with prediction, and I will stab you in the shoulder when the time comes. You just fall to the ground and throw in the towel. ”
Xiao Jinyan listened loudly, "So troublesome?"
"You have to behave in front of the third lady, you know. ”
"Then you stabbed me in the shoulder, do you want to hang the lottery, or not?"
Zhuang Xiaoxian said curiously, "Is there anything particular?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Of course there is." Fifty taels are not hung in the lottery, and one hundred taels are hung in the lottery. ”
"I've spent tens of thousands of taels for this competition, and you're still asking me for money?"
Xiao Jinyan smiled, "We were hired by the Tang Mansion, and we haven't gotten a penny yet, it's very hard to be an actor, and we have to design moves, as well as improvisation, you also know, everyone present is a master of the rivers and lakes, if someone sees through it, it won't be good for your reputation, right."
If you want me to hang the lottery, I will see a doctor, medical expenses, lost work expenses, mental damage expenses, everywhere is a place to spend money, one hundred taels is already very fair, besides, Zhuang Gongzi's family is the richest man in Nanchong, this bit of silver is just your early money. ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian thought about it, and said in his heart that it was right, took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms, and said, "You can behave well." ”
Xiao Jinyan accepted the silver ticket, "I'll do something, don't worry." ”
The two climbed into the ring.
There was someone in the audience, "These two guys are really lucky, the two of them didn't play a serious game in the morning, and they entered the top 16, if you knew this, I also signed up, at least one in sixteen chance to marry the third lady of the Tang family." ”
The other person sneered, "You know a fart, do you think they are lucky? This Zhuang Xiaoxian's father is the richest man in Nanchong, and that Tang Dabao is from the Tang Mansion, it is a coincidence that they entered the finals, and the ghost believes it." This kind of competition is all operated in the dark, saying that it is fair, just, and open, but in fact it is just covering people's eyes. ”
A Tang Mansion guest who was mixed in the crowd came over, "Look, you seem to understand very well?"
The man said, "Of course, I think we were also born in this way back then, as the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway." ”
The guest pointed to the door and said with a smile, "Do you see that door, the road outside the door?"
"See, what?"
Keqing picked him up and threw him out of the door, "Let you go and see the doorway!"
When the others saw this, they didn't dare to say much.
Zhuang Xiaoxian said to Xiao Jinyan, "Punch and laugh at the hall, kick Dengwen Academy, Nanchong is a dragon, Zhuang Xiaoxian is also, who is Your Excellency, report the name, and don't fight the unknown people in the next!"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Tang Dabao." ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian said in a low voice, "It's hard to say." ”
"Don dog!"
"I'll let you scold me. ”
Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "I won't scold." ”
"Then you hit me!"
"Okay. Xiao Jinyan stepped in front of Zhuang Xiaoxian, and the unequaled divine fist was used, pressing Zhuang Xiaoxian to the ground with one punch, one left punch, one right punch, and beat him to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
Zhuang Xiaoxian was furious, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Jinyan said while fighting, "You asked me to beat you first, don't worry, after receiving the money, I have to act like a little bit." ”
After a dozen punches in a row, he stood up, rubbed his arm, and said, "I twisted my arm a few days ago, and now the wound is not healed." ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian got up at this moment, raised his sword and stabbed at Xiao Jinyan, although his swordsmanship moves were good-looking, they were fancy shows, Xiao Jinyan pretended to be invincible, and retreated while fighting, dealing with it casually.
Zhuang Xiaoxian suddenly said, "Let me let you taste the left and right sources of my dealer's family." As he spoke, he went to squeeze his left eye, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jinyan was too ruthless just now, and his left eye was swollen and couldn't be closed at all, so he squeezed his right eye first.
Xiao Jinyan didn't look at him when he heard that it was left and right, and punched his left shoulder, this punch was extremely slow, but Zhuang Xiaoxian's sword went to the right.
Everyone in the audience was puzzled, what kind of move is this?
Bang!
Zhuang Xiaoxian was punched in the left shoulder, and said in pain, "It's the opposite!"
Xiao Jinyan woke up suddenly, thinking that the next punch should be changed back, so he punched his left arm again.
Bang!
Zhuang Xiaoxian was punched again, turned around twice in pain, and scolded, "You should cooperate with my performance and turn a blind eye, are you going to improvise more than me?"
Xiao Jinyan took two steps back and scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Come again!"
Zhuang Xiaoxian held back the fire in his heart, and shook two sword flowers, "Look at the sword!"
Before he could make a move, he saw Xiao Jinyan suddenly crash backwards, hitting a pillar in the corner, and the pillar broke.
Xiao Jinyan covered his ass and said, "What a powerful sword qi!"
Zhuang Xiaoxian said in his heart How can my swordsmanship be so powerful, and with another wave, Xiao Jinyan flew out a foot or two, and said, "Amazing!"
Zhuang Xiaoxian saw it, and swung a few swords in a row, Xiao Jinyan was very cooperative, embarrassed, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, "It's almost done." ”
"Come again!"
"You'll have to pay for it again. ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian glanced at the audience, the third lady was looking at the stage, although she was wearing a hijab, she must have also seen her own Shenwu swordsmanship, and she was proud in her heart, and said, "Lao Tzu has money!"
After saying that, he suddenly accelerated, and stabbed at Xiao Jinyan with a sword.
At this time, Xiao Jinyan suddenly heard a woman in the audience laughing, "Xiao Daxia, if you pretend, you won't be able to marry the third lady of the Tang family." ”
Xiao Jinyan was shocked, this voice was too familiar, and when he looked at it, there was a sea of people in the audience, but he couldn't find anyone to speak.
Is it her? Why is she here?
Xiao Jinyan was hesitating, Zhuang Xiaoxian's sword was already two feet in front of him, he didn't have time to think, he practiced 300,000 punches, his body had formed an instinct, his left foot stepped out, a dodge, and dodged.
Zhuang Xiaoxian couldn't hold the sword, so he pounced and rushed to the stage. He was annoyed and angry, got up, pointed at Xiao Jinyan on the stage and said, "You are incompetent!"
Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "I didn't do anything!"
"Pay back!"
Xiao Jinyan pretended to be confused and said, "What do you want to pay back?"
Zhuang Xiaoxian saw that he had lost the competition, so he was willing to stop there, and shouted, "Fellow Jianghu people, you have all been deceived by the Tang family. This martial arts competition is actually a scene that has been arranged a long time ago, and it is deliberately made for you to see!"
He pointed at Xiao Jinyan and said, "You see this Tang Dabao, their Tang Mansion received 30,000 taels of silver from our Zhuang family, and let him deliberately lose to me, as a result, the Tang Mansion did not believe in its words, and received the money but did not do anything, and did not believe in its words!"
When Li Datong heard this, he said sharply, "Zhuang Xiaoxian, what are you calling nonsense?"
Zhuang Xiaoxian said coldly, "Why, you dare to do it, but you don't dare to admit it?"
Everyone in the audience exploded, blaming the Tang Mansion, a few of them were eliminated in the morning, and they were also watching the game in the afternoon, saying, "No wonder, I felt strange in the morning, some people are so bad at martial arts, but they can enter the finals, at first I thought they were lucky, it turned out that the Tang family received money!"
"That's it. I knew this was the case, your Tang family married the third lady, what kind of competition to recruit relatives, just hold an auction conference, whoever pays the most money will give it to whomever you want, it's really a bitch and a memorial arch, disgusting!"
Several sons and brothers of the Tang family were dissatisfied, "You fucking fart, our Tang family has spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in this competition, is there still a shortage of your taels of silver?"
"What do you see this?" Zhuang Xiaoxian took out a voucher from his arms, which was the receipt when he donated silver to the Tang family, and it was stamped with the big seal of the Tang Mansion.
"The evidence is conclusive!"
"Still want to deny it?"
Tang Ji looked at Li Datong, "Is there such a thing?"
Li Datong's face was pale, and he said tremblingly, "This competition recruits relatives, the budget exceeds tens of thousands of taels, we ......"
Although he didn't finish speaking, the implication was that he admitted it.
Tang Ji's face was angry, and he slapped Li Datong in the face, "Who instructed it?"
Li Datong bowed his head and remained silent.
The group was furious, and seeing that they couldn't control the situation, someone suddenly shouted, "The old lady has arrived!"
There was silence in the venue.
Old lady Tang, the real helmsman of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, finally appeared, this old man who has been in charge of the Tang Sect for 70 years and is nearly 100 years old, in terms of seniority, is taller than the heads of Shaolin and Wudang. Fifty years ago, he had entered the Tongxiang realm, and after seventy, he spent his days in the Tang Sect, and rarely asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
As soon as he appeared, everyone was in awe.
The disciples of the Tang family also stood up one after another to give their respects.
The old lady came to the venue with the support of Tang Zhengfeng, Zhuang Xiaoxian was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to make a sound.
He glanced at Zhuang Xiande, the richest man in Nanchong, hurriedly came out, prostrate on the ground, and said, "Say hello to the old lady." ”
The old lady squinted and said, "Xiande, how old are you?"
"My nephew is forty and five years old. ”
"When your father came to the Tang family with you, you were just a baby, over the years, you have asked the Tang family every year, and you have not forgotten to pay homage to the three festivals and two birthdays, very good, very good. ”
Zhuang Xiande said, "That's what nephews should do." The dog is not sensible, he shouldn't have ruined the reputation of the Tang Sect, the old lady thought that he was young and ignorant, and he still wanted to open the net. ”
Zhuang Xiaoxian was still angry, "Dad, why are you whispering to this old guy?"
Syllable!
"Bastard!" Zhuang Xiande said angrily, "When is it your turn to speak?"
Zhuang Xiaoxian covered his flushed face, since he was a child, his father had never beaten him, and he couldn't imagine that he would slap him in front of the heroes of the world today, how would he mix in the rivers and lakes in the future?
Old Lady Tang sighed and said to Zhuang Xiande: "You are still young, you will marry a few more aunts when you go back, and your Zhuang family should never be gone." ”
When Zhuang Xiande heard this, his face turned pale.
A word to determine life and death.
This is the courage that the helmsman of the Tang family should have, over the years, the Tang Sect led by Tang Zhengfeng has been tepid, like a tiger with broken claws, even a cat and a dog bullied to the head, and even dared not make a fart, which made Old Lady Tang really annoyed.
Zhuang Xiande knelt on his knees and kowtowed to apologize.
The old lady said, "For the sake of many years of friendship with the Tang family, leave a whole corpse." ”
Only then did Zhuang Xiaoxian realize that the situation was not good, and was about to flee, but he found that he couldn't move at all, and black blood flowed out of the seven orifices.
He smiled and fell to the ground on his back, dead of exhaustion.
Immediately afterwards, Li Datong also collapsed on the ground, his face was purple, and he bled to death.
The crowd was shocked.
The Tang Sect in Shuzhong has unparalleled hidden weapons, and the use of poison is also unique in the world.
As soon as the old lady appeared, he killed two people, and the thunderous means were indeed incomparable to ordinary people.
However, he also left a hand, if he delved deeper, I am afraid that more people will be involved, and only Li Datong will be killed, which can be regarded as an explanation to the rivers and lakes.
"The Tang family has been heirloom for hundreds of years, and it is also said in the rivers and lakes, but the style of the door is not for you to corrupt. The old man announced that from now on, he will return to take charge of the Tang Sect. ”
Seeing this, Tang Zhengfeng hurriedly led everyone to kneel and kowtow, "Everything is arranged by the old lady!"
Old Mrs. Tang said, "A martial arts competition to recruit relatives, you made a miasma, the previous ones are not counted, everyone present, if you have the heart to marry my family to cherish the autumn, all come to this ring, whoever is the last to go down, who wins." ”
Someone shouted, "Old lady, I'm afraid this ring is not big enough." ”
Like Old Lady Tang's right hand, a thin red line shot out of his sleeve, and in mid-air it turned into a circle of more than 20 zhang, which slowly fell to the ground, encircling everyone in the field.
Everyone looked down and saw that this was a red line, but a red powder, worthy of being a master of the Elephant Realm, and he actually condensed a ball of powder into a thin line with internal force.
The old lady said again, "Life and death aside, the final winner, the Tang family is willing to pay 100,000 taels as a dowry for cherishing autumn!"
When everyone heard this, they were all excited, they could marry the first beauty in the world, and there were 100,000 taels of silver, and there were such beautiful things in the world, and they were all gearing up.
Knock knock!
Three drums.
The competition began, and everyone was in chaos, and the battle was a mess.
Xiao Jinyan and Li Changsheng were all in the southwest corner, and the four of them stood in a diamond-shaped position, guarding a corner, "What do you think?"
Zhao Lanjiang said, "It doesn't matter if a woman is a woman or not, the key is that there are 100,000 taels of silver, damn it, I have never seen so much money in my life, do it!"
Xiao Jinyanqi said, "You have always regarded money as dung, how did you change your temper today?"
Zhao Lanjiang sneered, "I regard small money as dung, where is it the same as you, a few taels of silver will be thrown up." ”
While talking, there have been a few people who can't open their eyes to find fault, and kicked them out of the circle.
The martial arts of everyone present were uneven, the swords were eyeless, and some of them knew that their martial arts were not good, so they took the initiative to run outside the circle, and in an instant, there were less than fifty people left in the field.
The four of them were looking, only to feel that the northeast corner was screaming repeatedly, and in a few moments, more than 20 people were thrown out of the circle, and seven or eight people died in the circle and were thrown out.
The scene was very tragic.
There are masters!
Xiao Jinyan's first reaction.
There were fewer and fewer people in the circle, and when they saw the people clearly, the three of them were startled, "Sun Qiangu!"
In a moment, Sun Qiangu cleaned up the people in the northeast, looked at Xiao Jinyan, and grinned, "See you again." ”
After letting the three of them escape that day, Sun Qiangu expected them to go to Shuzhong, and after coming to Shuzhong, he didn't expect that the three of them would turn into a writer Ding and sneak into the Tang Gate of Shuzhong.
The relationship between Yujian Villa and the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is not harmonious, and the two families have had a relationship with each other before because of the competition for the military's business, and after Sun Qiangu came to Shuzhong, he did not visit the Tang family.
Because of Tang Xiqiu's martial arts competition to recruit relatives, there was too much noise in the rivers and lakes in Shuzhong, he came to try his luck today, but there were too many people in the venue, so he stopped and watched for a while, but did not find the three of them, so he left.
After Tang Bujing was scared away by Li Chengcheng, he was afraid of retaliation, so he even went down the mountain to find Sun Qiangu to report the news, and only then did he return, and he encountered Old Lady Tang's methods.
Sun Qiangu was not interested in Tang Xiqiu, he was determined to kill Xiao Jinyan and the others, so when the competition began, he used thunderous means to chop melons and vegetables, and drove everyone out of the circle.
Today, he wants to torture three people to death in the most cruel way in front of his fellow people in the rivers and lakes to pay tribute to Sun Shaoming's soul in the sky.
Tang Zhengfeng recognized the person and said, "Sun Qiangu, you Imperial Sword Villa came to my Shuzhong Tang Sect, but do you want to make trouble?"
Sun Qiangu arched his hand at the old lady Tang and said, "Old lady, two months ago, the dog died at the hands of three young people in the rivers and lakes, these three people are very cunning, and they have escaped the pursuit of their juniors many times. ”
Tang Shouli said: "Since you said that they entered the Tang Mansion, they are the people of the Tang family, if they are handed over to you casually, won't the rivers and lakes say that my Tang family is afraid of your Imperial Sword Villa?"
Sun Qiangu said, "Recently, the villa received an order for a batch of weapons from the Western Army, as long as the old lady agrees that I will kill three people, the Imperial Sword Villa is willing to give five components to the Tang Sect." ”
"Seventy percent!"
Being old and not dying is a thief, worthy of being an old and cunning person, Sun Qiangu sneered in his heart, but as long as he can avenge his son, this payment is nothing.
So he said, "Deal!"
