Chapter 1: The Black Robe

Next Chapter

In recent days, Xunzhou City, Jiangnan Province has been very lively.

Just because the leader of Jiangnan martial arts, Xing Jiaguang, invited heroes and heroes, feasted all over the world, and held the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance!

All the famous people in Jiangnan Province rushed to Xunzhou non-stop, and at the same time, another news that shocked the martial arts spread.

The Xing family even invited Zuoqiu Anyuan, the squire of the military department, to watch the ceremony!

In Xunzhou City, full of incense building

"I'll just take a walk around the city, and finally come to Jiangnan, will you let me stay in the house all day?"

At this moment, Zuo Qiu Ning was looking at his angry sister Zuo Qiu Moshu, and said persuasively:

"At this time, there are all kinds of fish and dragons in the city, there are three religions and nine streams, you have such a temperament, running around, and if something goes wrong, how can you let me deal with my father?"

"Well, I promise this time it's just a spin and no fooling around. Zuoqiu Moshu pouted and raised a hand to make an oath.

Zuo Qiu Ning glanced at the drizzle outside the window, he came to Jiangnan for his father Zuo Qiu Anyuan this time, whether it was a Hongmen banquet is still unknown, and it was expected that this stubborn sister would secretly run out.

also blamed him for being careless, until he left the capital, he realized that one of the servants who had been with him for a long time was pretending to be his sister, smiled bitterly, and sighed lightly.

Zuo Qiu Moshu saw that there was a play, and hurriedly squeezed her eyebrows at Zuo Qiu Ning's personal servant on the side.

The servant looked at this, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his head, twisted his thighs fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Childe, it's not raining much outside, and it's hot in the restaurant, so it's really better to let the young lady go out for a walk." ”

"Well, if Mo Shu messes around again this time, I'll just ask you. Zuo Chuning glanced at the pair of master and servant, pointed to the servant and said.

"Remember, I must come back within two hours, and when the time comes, I will go to the Xing family banquet. ”

"Got it!"

Zuoqiu Moshu immediately jumped up and strode out of the room with the sweaty servants on the side.

Zuo Qiu Ning watched the two of them leave his sight, sighed lightly, turned around and walked to the window, and reached out to catch the drizzle outside the window.

The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums in the city is endless, and he recalls his father's entrustment before leaving home, and his heart is even more mixed.

The ancestral home of the Zuoqiu family is also in Jiangnan Province, and then due to fate, the head of the family, Zuoqiu Anyuan, has the appreciation of Li Zigan, the first assistant of the dynasty, in order to enter the capital.

Although Zuoqiu Anyuan and Xing Zhengyu, the head of the Xing family, are old acquaintances, they are now tense in martial arts and the imperial court. At such a critical juncture, the Xing family held a martial arts alliance meeting and invited Zuoqiu Anyuan to a banquet, which can be described as ill-intentioned.

Thinking of this, Zuo Qiu Ning, the second son of the Zuoqiu family, sneered, this trip to Jiangnan is dangerous and unknown, life and death are unpredictable, I really don't know whether my father thinks he is auspicious or thinks that his son is dispensable.

He pinched the crown on his head and remembered a sentence in the book: Whether a man and the crown are born or dead, a blessing or a curse, he can't complain about his parents at home, and he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Zuo Chuning's heart was desolate, and he felt that it was stuffy in this room, so he held the window edge with both hands and poked his head out of the window, wanting to use the cool wind and rain to wash away the heat.

As soon as he poked his head out, he saw a person in the next room, also lying on the edge of the window.

The man held his cheeks in one hand, his expression was calm, but his dark eyes seemed to be buried with sadness and loneliness, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zuo Chuning recognized this person, he had seen this person when he had just arrived in Xunzhou City the day before yesterday, and it happened to be in the guest room he had rented before. This person was dressed in a gray military uniform, draped in a black brocade robe, and looked like he was from a wealthy family, and he also carried a narrow blue-black sheath weapon in his hand, I don't know if it was a knife or a sword.

At that time, the appearance of the black-robed man was very strange, he said that he was a martial artist, but he was full of gentleness in his gestures, if he wanted to say that he was a literati, he was not informal, he had no crown on his top, and his long hair was tied up with brocade cloth and draped behind his back.

At that time, the second child of Man Xianglou glanced at him, and secretly scolded "like a girl", and when the shopkeeper heard it, he slapped him on the back of the head.

Now there is such a martial arts event in Xunzhou City, and all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods gather in one city, and such words are heard by those grumpy masters, and it will be troublesome for a while.

If the rivers and lakes are scattered, there is no sect power behind it, Manxianglou is not a small shop in Xunzhou City, but he is not afraid that he will not forgive, but if he really meets a martial arts master with a sect, it will be a disaster.

But at this moment, looking at the soft and gloomy eyes of the black robe, I think that what Xiao Er said is really not wrong, but it looks like a girl.

The black robe estimated that he noticed that there was a gaze, and when he turned his head, he saw the funny scene of Zuo Chuning sticking his head out of the window, his expression was surprised, and his gloomy eyes disappeared in an instant, probably because he felt too embarrassed, so he smiled at Zuo Chuning.

Zuo Chuning was stunned, this person looked like Zhou Zheng, and his faint smile made people feel like a spring breeze, and the troubles that the rain could not wash away seemed to disappear in an instant.

Out of politeness, Zuo Chuning replied with a smile.

The black robe didn't make any more movements, just looked at him like this, his expression was as usual.

In this way, Zuo Chuning felt embarrassed, what kind of system did the two big men look at each other with affection like this?

So I wanted to talk about it.

"Dare to ask .....?"

As soon as the two words came out, who expected that the black robe would not pay attention to it at all, and turned around and left the window!

Zuo Chuning was stunned again, isn't there something wrong with this person?

I just wanted to say something and now I was holding back alive, this kind of discomfort made Zuo Chuning annoyed in his heart, and said that this person didn't know how to lift, so he suddenly retracted his head, but he shrank too fast and accidentally hit the window.

With a thud, he closed the wooden window and sat down at the wooden table in the guest room rubbing his head.

Although the black robe was rude, Zuo Chuning did not care too much.

How many people pay attention to red tape?

Before the Zuoqiu family entered the capital, they were considered to be high-ranking families, but they were also jealous of these martial artists.

Zuo Qiu Ning often heard the elders talk about the meritorious deeds of the emperor of this dynasty, because he started with the help of many people in the rivers and lakes, he naturally worshiped martial arts and suppressed literature, and it was not until today's son ascended the throne that the rivers and lakes were banned.

At that time, the people in the rivers and lakes were scattered and turned a blind eye to the ban of the imperial court.

Jiangnan Province martial arts is naturally the same, there are constant disputes, there are many disasters, and there are even some Jianghu martial artists who think very highly of themselves, pointing fingers at Jiangnan government affairs in front of the people, causing Jiangnan Province officials to sneer at Jianghu people and stay away.

Zuo Chuning was alone in the guest room for a long time, the room was stuffy, and the doors and windows were closed, and he was so thirsty that he wanted to pour a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I picked up the teacup, there was a "clang"!

The wooden door of the guest room was suddenly slammed open, and a figure rushed into the room.

Zuo Chuning was frightened, unsteady the teacup in his hand, and fell straight to the ground.

The teacup was smashed.

He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and looked at it fixedly, it was the servant who had just gone out with his little sister Zuoqiu Moshu, and he was looking at Zuo Qiu Ning breathlessly at this time, as if he had something to say.

Seeing that it was his own servant, Zuo Qiu Ning was very angry in his heart, and he was about to have a seizure, remembering his little sister, and asked helplessly: "Mo Shu is in trouble again?"

The servant nodded again and again, but he couldn't say a word, thinking that he had run back in one breath after the accident.

Helplessly, Zuo Chuning took another teacup and poured a glass of water for the hard-working servant.

The servant drank it all, and hurriedly said: "Miss went to the door of the Xingfu house to join in the fun, and met a few disciples of the Golden Cicada Sect who wanted to take advantage of the young lady, Fang Huyuan was angry but fought with them, I looked like Fang Huyuan was afraid that he couldn't beat them, and he was afraid that Miss would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly ran back and asked Gongzi to come over and have a look." ”

"Didn't you say that we were honored guests invited by the Xing family?"

"Having said that, as soon as the gang heard that the young lady said that she was the daughter of the squire of the military department, they became even more energetic, and pulled the young lady to prevent her from leaving, and the Fang Huyuan took action. ”

Zuo Qiu Ning slapped the table suddenly, and said helplessly: "Mo Shu, this is the capital, the daughter of the squire of the military department? Why don't you say that her father is the king of heaven? Isn't it okay to just say that she is a guest of the Xing family? Those ruffians and hooligans still dare to embarrass the door of the Xing family, can't you?"

Zuo Qiu Ning was anxious, and said in his heart that this loss was mostly to be settled, this Jianghu martial arts and court officials hated each other, and conflicts were frequent, and it was no surprise that he had seen it in Jiangnan.

The courtyard in the servant's mouth is Zuo Chuning's guard leader on this trip to Jiangnan, and he really knows some kung fu, but he usually uses it as a coachman, and it is inevitable that he will be rusty with the handle.

"Go get some more silver, and we'll see." Zuo Chuning said with a frown.

Zuo Chuning was worried about his sister's safety, so he hurriedly brought some silver taels and ran downstairs with his servants.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I saw Zuoqiu Moshu at the end of the street walking back leisurely with a large group of people.

Seeing his sister come back, Zuo Chuning was very puzzled, but he was still relieved and hurriedly beckoned his little sister to come closer.

Zuoqiu Moshu was rushing back, and after seeing his second brother, he hurriedly ran to his side, his face was happy, and he pointed to a group of people behind him and chuckled: "Who do you think I met?"

However, Zuo Chuning had already set his eyes on the person behind her.

followed Zuoqiu Moshu back, in addition to a group of domestic servants with blue noses and swollen faces, there were indeed two Zhang Sheng faces.

One is a tall, sturdy white and fat man, dressed in a white robe, embroidered tiger in brocade clothes, wrapped around a jade belt of blue stones, wearing gray cloth fast boots on his feet, and embroidered auspicious clouds and cranes on his boots, a rich young master. After taking a closer look, there is still a bit of suave meaning, and at this time, he is looking at the Zuo Chuning brothers and sisters with a strange smile.

However, it was not this fat man who attracted Zuo Chuning's attention, but another person, to be precise, another woman with a light veil covering her face.

Although it is covered with light veil, but if you look at the outline, you can still feel the heroic face as sharp as a knife, the eyebrows are as beautiful and delicate as the fairy in the painting, a tear mole looming under the left eye is the finishing touch next to the whole handsome face, the tight-fitting military uniform worn will make the graceful figure more exquisite, and the slender hand is lightly holding a white sheath long sword.

There are many beautiful women in the capital, and Zuo Chuning has already seen countless women, but none of them are as handsome as the one in front of him.

Zuoqiu Moshu saw her brother's embryonic appearance, and knew that he had committed his old problem again, so she snorted coldly, stretched out her hand and twisted Zuo Qiu Ning's thigh.

Zuo Qiu Ning couldn't hold back the pain suddenly, screamed, and after coming back to his senses, he felt out of shape, and was busy raising his hands and clenching his fists, preparing to apologize.

Who knew that the tear-mole beauty had autumn water in her eyes, and she didn't mean to blame at all.

Thinking of such a beautiful woman walking the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that such a situation has long been commonplace, if Zuo Chuning is to make amends, it will be too childish, and the hands that have just been raised are put down again.

At this time, Zuo Chuning finally saw the fat man with a playful smile on the side, and he still felt that this fat man was a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
