Chapter 16: A small setting can be found in context
Finally, in front of a candle, a man in brocade who looked like a scholar spoke.
He shook the fan in his hand and said softly.
"Master Mu, I haven't seen you for many days, but your demeanor is still the same. ”
The man in black still had a cold face, and he didn't know if it was because of him, the air in this room seemed a little cold.
"There is no need to talk nonsense, you came to me today, what's the matter?"
"Master Mu, why do you have to pretend to be stupid?" The brocade-clothed man covered his mouth with a fan, and his narrow eyes narrowed like a fox.
"I'm coming to you at this time, naturally, for the theft of Saint Li Si. ”
The man in black still sat without any expression, and only after half a sound did he put his sword half a finger away from his side.
"What are you going to do with arresting people, looking for our bloody cloak building?"
Everyone on the rivers and lakes knows that the Bloody Clothes Building never leaves a living mouth, if you want someone's life, you can find them at any time, but if you want to arrest someone, it should be in the wrong place.
The man in brocade seemed to listen to the man in black unexpectedly, and after listening, he nodded with a chuckle.
"Of course I know this, so I'm not here to find you Bloodcoat Building. ”
As he spoke, he put away his fan, slowly raised a finger, and pointed at the man in black and said.
"I'm here for you. ”
"What are you looking for me for?" the man in black raised his eyes, and there was a terrifying light in his black and white eyes.
The man in brocade looked at him without a little fear: "Help me arrest Li Si." ”
"Why?"
"With 10,000 taels of gold, there is one more news. ”
"What's the news?"
"One, news about your wife and your children. ”
······
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Then, a sword light lit up.
An extremely cold sword roar resounded.
After the sword sounded, the sword light dimmed, and the scene in the room gradually became clear again.
The man in black held the unsheathed sword in his hand, the blade of which pressed against the throat of the man in brocade.
"Tell me. ”
He said, his voice calm, but with a chill that could not be refused: "Then I will help you catch Li Si." ”
The brocade-clothed man squinted his eyes and smiled, not caring at all that his throat had been covered with blood by the blade.
"You help me catch Li Si first, and then I'll tell you the news. ”
Neither of them had any intention of backing down, and there was a dead silence all around, as if they were two worlds compared to the bustling voices coming from the window.
The dim candle flame flickered.
After a moment, the man in black put away his sword, grimaced a cold face, and sat down in front of the man in brocade again.
"Don't forget what you said today, otherwise, the ends of the earth, the Bloody Cloak Building will find you. ”
"Don't worry. The brocade man's smile became gentler, and he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the blood from his neck.
"We do business in Fengyulou and pay attention to integrity. ”
With that, he stood up and walked out the door.
Footsteps echoed through the empty room, and as he reached the door, the man in black suddenly stopped him.
"What did you arrest Li Si for?"
Fengyulou is not short of money, and there is no need to meet the emperor, they are all engaged in underworld business, and there is no possibility of joining the royal family.
Then the main purpose of this wind and rain building to arrest Li Si is very strange.
The brocade man's smile sank a little, and he stood in the doorway for a moment, and finally replied softly.
"I'm going to ask Li Si to help me find someone, someone that only he can find. ”
"Who?" the black-robed man asked succinctly.
The brocade-clothed man raised his eyebrows, a smile reappeared on his face, and glanced back.
"The news of the wind and rain building, some of them are not for sale. ”
With that, he departed.
In the corridor, the sunlight through the window shone on the man in brocade one by one.
He walked slowly, the smile on his face dissipating little by little.
······
At the same time, in the Minjiang black market, a young man in Tsing Yi with seven iron swords on his back walked to a stall with no business.
He looked at the stall owner, was silent for a moment, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
"The long sail shines in the moon. ”
The stall owner was smoking a dry cigarette, and when he heard the young man's words, he exhaled the smoke and raised his head with a frown.
"Lonely boat up the river, little brother, what do you want?"
"The news of the theft of the saint Li Si. The young man in Tsing Yi looked very capable and said straight to the point.
"Cheng, ten taels of silver. The stall owner spread out a dirty palm, and his face was still covered with unwiped dirt.
The young man in Tsing Yi frowned, he knew that this price was definitely expensive, but he still took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the vendor, and said.
"Where is he now?"
The vendor smiled and took the silver, put it in his hand, and raised his chin in one direction with a dry cigarette.
"Hangzhou. ”
"Good. The young man in Tsing Yi answered calmly, turned around and walked towards the west.
The seven iron swords on his back were very eye-catching in the crowd.
On the way, several people dressed in rivers and lakes accidentally saw him, and they panicked and avoided him.
As for the reason, it is because these seven iron swords symbolize this identity, an identity that should never be provoked.
······
If you want to say that this is the most shocking genius in the past hundred years, then no matter who you ask, it is estimated that you can only hear one name.
The young master of the Iron Sword Gate, Tie Muyi.
Li Si doesn't count, because most people think that he is an old monster, the kind that has lived for at least hundreds of years.
And this Tie Muyi is a generation of Tianjiao who has grown up with the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes.
Ten years ago, the previous generation of leaders of the Iron Sword Gate, the famous master Tie Mushan, died of illness.
Although Tiejianmen has a lot of family business, the family family has always been a single lineage.
Tie Mushan's sudden death made only Tie Muyi, who was only twelve years old at the time, and his mother, who didn't know much martial arts, be left in the huge Iron Sword Gate.
At that time, almost everyone thought that the Iron Sword Gate was over, the servants were scattered, the family business shrank again and again, and the status in the rivers and lakes was even lower than that of the third-rate sect.
But what no one expected was this.
It only took Tie Muyi ten years to change from a yellow-haired boy who had just entered the third-rate level to a famous swordsman who surpassed a first-class master, and his skills were so profound that he even surpassed Tie Mushan back then.
In the past three years, he has challenged the Quartet masters one after another, and he has almost no defeat.
One hand of seven lives and seven deaths sword, so that there is no flaw.
It is even rumored that he has a tendency to be comparable to the number one swordsman in the rivers and lakes today.
So no one wants to take the initiative to provoke Tie Muyi, and the seven swords on his back are likely to become the next legends of the rivers and lakes.
I heard that this time, as soon as the wanted warrant for the thief of the imperial court entered the rivers and lakes, Tie Muyi went down the mountain gate.
He was asked what he was going to do.
And he replied with only two words.
Gratitude.
