Chapter 32: Discussion in the Inn
After a night of non-stop, Bai Yilan finally got better. I couldn't help but go downstairs alone early in the morning.
"Little Er, do you have anything to eat? ”
The shopkeeper was still lying on the counter, unable to hear anything, sleeping soundly, and spending all his time lazy.
"Shopkeeper!"
Bai Yilan pulled her throat and shouted again. The shopkeeper got up groggily, rubbed his eyes and yawned.
This voice not only woke up Xiao Er, but even Pang Erlong, who had been tossed together until the second half of the night, yawned and came out of the room, and when he saw Bai Yilan downstairs, he complained: "I said Brother Bai, aren't you really sleepy, early in the morning, what are you doing......"
Bai Yilan heard Pang Erlong complain for a while, and didn't look back, pointing upstairs towards the shopkeeper, "Little Er, serve a few good dishes, and pay upstairs." ”
The shopkeeper woke up and walked into the back kitchen.
"It's too much!" When Pang Erlong heard this, he was not happy for a while, and immediately went downstairs, walked up to Bai Yilan, and was angry, "My money is now for your little ancestor to eat, drink and have fun, and you are embarrassed to ask me for money?"
"Eh, that's the money that your uncle robbed. ”
Seeing Bai Yilan's extremely flattering defense, Pang Erlong was really angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Don't worry, I will clean up the two of them together when the time comes!"
"Who are you going to clean up? ”
When the two were "talking" fiercely, another familiar figure and a familiar voice came in from outside the inn.
The two of them followed the sound and looked out at the same time. Isn't this exactly what Xiang Kong should be in Cangzhou now. And behind this tall figure, a young little head suddenly poked out, with a face full of joy and excitement, "Brother Bai, it's really you!"
"Old Xiang, little ancestor, you ...... How did you find this?"
Looking at Pang Erlong with a frightened expression, Xiang Kong cleared his throat, "Ying'er has to come to you, she walked all night, and wanted to settle here, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Brother Bai's voice......
At this time, the food in the back kitchen was also served, and Bai Yilan beckoned everyone to sit down, "Come here, let's eat together." ”
As soon as he sat down, Pang Erlong realized that the other party owed him money, why was he afraid of him in turn, so a wave of anger rushed to his heart, and he threw the chopsticks on the table again, stretched out his hand, and said, "Should some people order something?"
Xiang Kong was hungry all the way, and he had already picked up the chopsticks to eat, without paying any attention to Pang Erlong, just throwing an empty cloth bag on the table.
"No money?" Pang Erlong immediately checked the cloth bag, but there was no copper coin in it.
Xiang Kong explained while eating: "We are not just eating, drinking and having fun, we are doing the right thing with the money in it." ”
Bai Yilan didn't seem to be joking when she heard Xiang Kong's tone, so she took a stubble: "Do the right thing?"
"We took advantage of this time to investigate the internal situation of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. Xiang Kong was not vague, and said: "I thought that since you want to deal with the Quartet, I will help find some flaws." ”
When Pang Erlong heard this, his anger also disappeared a little, and he asked, "What did you find?"
Xiang Kong put down the dishes and chopsticks and sold a pass, "Do you know why, he is obviously the helmsman of the Huaibei rudder, but the rudder is located in Hebei?"
"What's this, leave the help to your subordinates, and you live in such a good place. ”
"No, Hebei used to have an independent rudder, and Hebei Huaibei two people bordered each other, but not long ago, Cheng Sifang found that the Hebei rudder owner violated the gang rules, so he reported it to the gang leader, and the Hebei rudder owner was found guilty and sentenced to death. So now Huaibei and Hebei are classified as the territory of the Quartet. In this way, the tree will attract the wind, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among others...... So I think this is an opportunity for them to kill each other. ”
Bai Yilan listened carefully to Xiang Kong's suggestion, and Lian Lian nodded and praised: "Amazing, so many things have been found in just one day." An ordinary helmsman has become the most powerful in the eleventh rudder overnight, and it is inevitable that some people will be red-eyed......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Pang Erlong and motioned for him to continue.
Pang Erlong didn't give Xiang Kong a good face at all, and said with a slight mockery: "It's a pity, now these strategies are not used......
"What do you say?" Xiang Kong didn't seem very depressed, but he always had to ask why.
"There's no need to check it anymore, and it won't take more than three days. Bai Yilan's name can spread throughout the entire martial arts......" Pang Erlong glanced at Bai Yilan, as if asking for the other party's consent.
Seeing Bai Yilan nodding slightly, Pang Erlong began to talk endlessly, telling all about what happened in Wanjian Villa......
Xiang Kong was no longer calm, his mouth opened wider and wider, "One blow forced back into the Quartet?"
"Hmph, you believe that. The old man in white, Zhang Wanqian also slowly went downstairs, and explained the reason behind Bai Yilan's move to become famous: "He just can't beat others, and eats his grandfather's old ......"
Pang Erlong was confused, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
At this time, Bai Yilan personally explained: "Didn't you see it all, I have to say that the Quartet is really powerful." If he hadn't been merciful, I might not have been able to survive three moves, and what you saw in the end was a sword qi that Grandpa had consumed with a successful force. ”
"With the success of the Sword God, then don't you have no opponent?"
"What do you think, this sword has been used up, gone. Bai Yilan shook her head and said with a wry smile.
The people sitting around all shouted pity, and said in their hearts: Only Bai Yilan can not take this kind of thing to heart.
After experiencing this battle, I have to say that Bai Yilan also saw how big this world was, and couldn't help but sigh: "When will I become a first-class master." ”
At this time, Zhang Wanqian had already walked behind Bai Yilan, "It's not simple, just worship me as a teacher." ”
Hearing the word apprenticeship, Pang Erlong's eyes straightened, "Yes, yes, Senior Zhang, we can join the Hengyang faction now, right?"
Zhang Wanqian said: "Of course you can, this year happens to be the sixth time that the Hengyang Sect has recruited disciples. ”
"What, then you mean you want us to take the test ourselves?"
"Of course. ”
Pang Erlong's high interest was dispelled at once, but he looked at Bai Yilan, made a final struggle, and asked, "Then don't you want to accept Little Brother Bai as an apprentice, don't you have any privileges?"
"When I am my apprentice, of course, he has the conditions, he wants to win the first place in this disciple selection. ”
"You're not fooling us. ”
Zhang Wanqian said: "It seems that you really don't know anything about the rivers and lakes in the southwest region." Don't you know, except for my eldest apprentice, the others are the first in the selection of disciples. ”
Pang Erlong was anxious, "You don't give you any privileges like this, why should our Bai brother be your apprentice? ”
Zhang Wanqian's eyes were always on Bai Yilan, and he said: "Of course there is privilege, at least what I said is true that the swordsmanship teacher who is not weaker than Su Nianbai." ”
After speaking, Zhang Wanqian checked Bai Yilan's injuries, and after confirming that he was fine, he didn't stay too long, so he rushed out of the door, and finally left only one sentence: "Think about it yourself, I'm waiting in Hengshan." ”
watched Zhang Wanqian brush his sleeves away. Pang Erlong was shattered because of his dreams, and he said bad words: "We can't trust him anymore, relying on himself to be a big liar who relies on the old and sells the old and sells the old." ”
He also fiddled with the narrator and said, "You must not believe him, return the kendo master." Now in addition to the sword god Su Nianbai, can you inquire about which other masters in the rivers and lakes accept apprentices?"
Bai Yilan was also hesitating, and after listening to Pang Erlong's words, he turned his head to ask Xiang Kong for confirmation.
Xiang Kong pondered for a while and said, "The famous swordsmanship masters on the rivers and lakes really did not appear in the southwest. ”
Now he has received two negative votes, but Bai Yilan can't convince himself to refuse to go. So he turned his head to Zhou Ying'er again, "Ying'er, what about you?"
"Well, I want to learn martial arts, so that I don't have to be put aside by Big Brother Bai all the time. Zhou Ying'er didn't have much to think about, she just said what she thought in her heart.
To a certain extent, Bai Yilan and Zhou Ying'er have the same idea, and now the Hengyang faction is indeed the place where the two of them need to go the most.
Bai Yilan wanted to take revenge, but he had truly seen the strength of the enemy, and now he couldn't even kill the enemy's apprentice............
I have to say that he needs to improve his strength now, no matter whether the swordsmanship teacher Zhang Wanqian said is true or not, if he can get the true inheritance of the Hengyang faction, it will be much smoother to take revenge. And he must have been targeted now, so he can't guarantee Zhou Ying'er's safety, and it will be much safer to put Zhou Ying'er in the Hengyang faction.
So Bai Yilan glanced at Pang and Xiang, and said, "Why don't you ...... Shall we try?"
Pang Erlong didn't turn around all of a sudden, but heard Xiang Kong say: "I don't care, since I came out, I don't want to go back to the dart game." ”
The three of them had agreed, and Pang Erlong had no choice but to nod.
"But the Hengyang faction is not something that can be entered by talking. ”
Bai Yilan said: "So, we have to plan well before we set off." The selection of disciples, like the previous selections of Wanjian Villa, is nothing more than to see how talented a person is, and whether he is suitable for sword training. ”
Pang Erlong said: "That...... Hengyang faction previous selections, do you know what to test, there must be some reference. ”
Xiang Kong thought for a while and said: "I remember the selection five years ago, it had nothing to do with talent, I heard that some disciples with art and talent didn't even pass the primary selection, so they also made a big fuss on Hengshan Mountain, injuring several disciples of the Hengyang faction. In the end, he angered the second disciple of Zhang's predecessor, Zhong Daochang of the Hengyang faction. ”
"That's over, like the two of us, after practicing martial arts for 20 years, it's still like this, if you have talent or not, if you want martial arts, you have no martial arts. I'd better not be embarrassed. Pang Erlong listened to Xiang Kong's explanation, and gave up on the spot.
Fortunately, Bai Yilan and Zhou Ying'er still looked happy, "It's not a bad thing, I'm afraid of losing face, let's go and take a look." ”
