Chapter Seventy-Six: Five Copper Coins
Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er naturally didn't know this sun and moon, and Ye Wufeng explained it to them.
Fifteen years ago, they were famous knights in the Sichuan and Shu areas, and they were not called by this name when they debuted. The woman in white is named Xi Murong, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Haoyue Sword". When he first debuted, he single-handedly killed the "Three Monsters of Meizhou" and became famous for a while. That Haoyue swordsmanship is really smart and elegant, and everyone who has seen it is amazed.
And the man in white is named Chang Ming, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him "Hui Sun Knife", this Hui Sun Knife is a tough and fierce way, it is said that the ancient master of Southern Shaolin and he were defeated in a battle. You must know that the master of ancient law was known as one of the top ten masters in the south at that time, which shows that his sword skills are sharp.
There is no shortage of rumors of strange heroes in the rivers and lakes, and this Haoyue Sword and Huisun Sword finally met each other. At that time, the two of them happened to go to crusade against the "South Sichuan Gang" who were doing evil around Luzhou, and after they met, it was a competition.
Just like the names of their respective martial arts, these two people fell in love at first sight like the sun and the moon after a martial arts competition. Jianghu knights are not like ordinary people who will put on a wedding and go through the motions when they get married. Although the two did not say that they were officially married, they all haunted together after that, roamed the rivers and lakes, and became famous husband and wife chivalrous in the world.
After that, because of the relationship between the two swords, the rivers and lakes called these two people the sun and the moon.
Guo Xiang and Tang Xiuer listened to it, and they both yearned for it, and this story of traveling with their couples in the rivers and lakes can be regarded as one of the yearning of girls in their hearts.
"Each of them is a person, and they are all called the number in the rivers and lakes. After they were together, they were even more powerful, and at that time, there was no one in the Sichuan and Shu rivers and lakes who didn't know them. After Ye Wufeng finished speaking, Tang Xiu'er wondered in her heart, if it was really such a powerful two, why hadn't she, as a native of Sichuan, heard of it.
Originally, these two people could be said to be the rising stars in the rivers and lakes, I thought they might be more famous, but who knew that fifteen years ago, the two of them suddenly retired from the rivers and lakes and never appeared again. Ye Wufeng knew that Tang Xiu'er was puzzled and explained.
"No one knows why they retired, anyway, the rivers and lakes are like this, there are always people who appear, and there are always people who suddenly disappear. Ye Wufeng was also puzzled, because he still didn't understand why these two people were looking for the Four Seas Gang.
"The two of them, even if they appear at this time, can be regarded as guests when they arrive at each major sect. It stands to reason that they have the strength to completely form their own faction, and the Four Seas Gang is a moderate faction in the rivers and lakes, and there is no reason to provoke these two, it seems that they have been cleared out. ”
After Ye Wufeng finished speaking, Naxi Murong suddenly raised his hand to look at Ye Wufeng and the three of them and said with a smile: "It must be the upstairs that is the head of the Ye family of the Tang Sect." Ye Wufeng didn't expect that the other party had already discovered him, and replied: "Jiuyang, it is Ye Wufeng of the Tang Sect." I have heard of the two great names of the sun and the moon, although I shouldn't have asked, but I don't know why the two of them are enemies of the Four Seas Gang. ”
After all, the Tang family has been with the Four Seas Gang in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, and the question at this time is actually to sell face to Ba Long, although the Four Seas Gang and the Sun and Moon have nothing to do with the Tang Sect, but the Four Seas Gang is still entrenched in Sichuan and Shu after all, and this thing that can earn face by speaking out is always done.
Ba Long also glanced at Ye Wufeng, and there was a lot of gratitude in his eyes, you must know that just now he caught the sun and moon double trick and had serious internal injuries, Ye Wufeng chatted with the other party and gave him a little time to reply and correct.
Xi Murong said with a smile: "We have no grievances with the Four Seas Gang and the Four Seas Gang, and we have no festivals. After a pause, he glanced at Barong and said, "We are just collecting money from people and eliminating disasters with others." ”
As soon as Xi Murong's words came out, Ye Wufeng was also surprised, you must know that it must be a huge fortune to be able to invite the sun and the moon to go out of the rivers and lakes again. Besides, he was a little surprised that Sun and Moon Shuangjue was just playing for money.
Ba Long also laughed when he heard this, and said: "I don't know who invited the two of you, in fact, if the two of you are short of money, our Four Seas Gang will definitely pay the starting price for the two of you." ”
Xi Morong's eyes turned to Ba Long, his smile disappeared, and said, "Since we have already collected the money, do you think we will do this business of betraying the employer?"
Ye Wufeng's heart sank, he was a disciple of the Tang Sect, and he was proficient in secret weapon techniques, but he didn't expect that the other party's secret weapon techniques were also wonderful, so he didn't even react.
"But our employer doesn't mind if we call us names. Although Xi Murong was looking at Ba Long, it was obvious that he was talking to Ye Wufeng. "Money Gang, the head of the Ye family can remember it. Since we have arrived in Ba County, we should inform Tangmen. Let's talk ...... again."
Xi Murong glanced at Ba Long, and a wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "In the future, the Money Gang and the Tang Sect will often meet, let me know, will it be convenient to do business in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ba Long was furious, this other party was no longer looking down on him, according to Xi Murong's meaning, this was the meaning of the Money Gang's intention to completely drive the Four Seas Gang out of Sichuan and Shu.
Ye Wufeng was also shocked when he heard the name of the Money Gang at this time. He had long heard that a new gang had emerged in the rivers and lakes, and in the past six months or so, this new gang has seized the territory of many other forces. It's no wonder that the sun and the moon will reappear in the rivers and lakes, according to Xi Murong's words, if this money gang takes over the Four Seas Gang's plate in Sichuan and Shu, then Shuangjue must be the person in charge of this Sichuan and Shu.
You must know that Sichuan and Shu have a large population, and the big forces in the Ming Dynasty include Tangmen, Qingcheng, and the Four Seas. There are even more small local forces scattered in various places, and even so, every big force has made a lot of money, and the small forces can survive. The money gang really wants to take over all the Sichuan and Shu territories in the four seas, so this wealth is unimaginable, and it is not surprising that the sun and the moon are unique.
At this point, all the explanations were made, and Xi Murong said directly: "The whole of Sichuan, can the Four Seas Gang afford this price?" A trace of ridicule hung on his face, looking at Ba Long.
"If you give it, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it!" Ba Long shouted and rushed towards Xi Murong. Although the iron cable has been seen a lot, the iron cable of more than one meter makes it easier for Barong to control. With a wave of both hands, the iron rope turned into a Dao Dao sword shadow, and went straight to Xi Murong's head.
Xi Murong made a wrist, and he also danced with sword flowers, and fought with Ba Long. That Chang Ming didn't attack, nor did he go to help, Xi Murong just stood with a knife on the side, staring blankly.
Although who loses and who wins actually has nothing to do with the Tang Sect, Tang Xiu'er still wondered and said angrily: "Why doesn't this man help his wife, just watch." ”
Ye Wufeng listened to Tang Xiu'er's words and smiled silently. Of course, he knew that Chang Ming was by no means cowardly or cowardly if he didn't make a move, or that he was preparing to sneak attack or something. The other party only made a move, just for himself.
Ba Long has already made more than a dozen moves, don't look at Ba Long's iron rope, it seems to be extremely strong, but the iron rope is like a whip, changing and changing, and Xi Murong's light and agile Haoyue sword technique is not inferior.
And that Xi Murong Haoyue swordsmanship is exquisite swordsmanship, although Xi Murong is in his thirties, but he has a good figure and proper maintenance, this sword dance also looks extraordinary, it is a beauty dancing the sword in the wind under the Haoyue, and people can't help but want to weigh it in their hearts.
However, Ba Long didn't feel beautiful in his eyes, he saw that after Xi Murong's sword moves came out at this moment, he had already figured out the opponent's sword path. The iron rope in his hand changed suddenly, and the whip method that seemed to be soft just now turned into a long stick and swept towards Xi Murong's waist in an instant. Chang Ming, who was on the side, finally stopped standing, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Take it!" The long knife in his hand was thrown towards Xi Murong.
The man finally said the second word!
Xi Murong watched Ba Long's move sweep away, but he was not in a hurry, took the knife thrown by Chang Ming and jumped up. Ba Long had long known that the other party would be able to dodge, so he changed his tactics to pursue, and the sweep turned into a top pick to chase Xi Murong. Naxi Murong flew in the air, twisted his body, and flipped up.
Just now, it was obviously a light and dense sword technique, but in an instant, it turned into an extremely fierce sword technique, and Ba Long saw that the other party seemed to turn into a huge steel knife and rushed towards him. Hurriedly retracted the chain and tried to defend, but it was still too late.
With a muffled sound, Ba Long fell to the ground with a puff, and there was a long bloody mouth on his chest, and the blood gushed like a spring. And Naxi Murong stood on the ground, holding a knife in his left hand, and on top of the long sword in his right hand, an iron rope was strung together, looking at Ba Long with a smile.
Upstairs, Tang Xiu'er and Guo Xiang both shouted in their hearts, after all, their martial arts are still shallow, and they already feel extremely magical when they see Xi Murong's unique skills, but they didn't expect that the other party could flexibly change between swordsmanship and sword skills, and change their moves at any time.
Ba Long spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was bloodless, and he stared at Xi Murong viciously and scolded: "You really dare to be the enemy of the Four Seas Gang, aren't you afraid of death!"
Xi Murong laughed: "You person, you look like you're dying, and you still want to intimidate me." With a wave of his hand, five copper coins were nailed to the side of Balong's head, and said: "Leave you a dog's life, so that you can give you a message to the helm, get out of Sichuan as soon as possible, and avoid more deaths." ”
After speaking, Xi Murong glanced at Ye Wufeng upstairs, smiled, and walked out of Fengxiang Building with Chang Ming.
As soon as the two of them left, a bunch of people rushed in from the door, and it was the Four Seas Gang who had been beaten before. "Save the helmsman, get out of the way!" their strips of cloth gave Barong a random bazaar, lifted Barong and ran, hurried back to the rudder to save Barong.
Upstairs, Ye Wufeng suddenly looked up and found that the black-clothed man who was in the private room opposite had disappeared. When Xi Murong said the last sentence just now, he also saw that the man in black was still opposite. It's just that a person who raised his head disappeared, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, which shows that this person's light skills are definitely not low.
"I'll go see the man in black, you go back to Tangjiabao first. As Ye Wufeng spoke, he jumped and flew to the opposite private room, glanced at it, and sure enough, the opposite private room was empty, how could there be a figure.
Seeing this, Tang Xiu'er whispered to Guo Xiang: "Why don't we go and chase the sun and the moon to see?" Without waiting for Guo Xiang to reply, Ye Wufeng on the opposite side seemed to hear it, and scolded: "What are you chasing? And the five copper coins nailed to the window edge fell out, and Tang Xiu'er leaned out to catch them.
Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er looked at the string of copper coins, and they both gasped. The five coins are stacked on top of each other, and the five coins are connected end to end. Tang Xiu'er picked up the last copper coin, but the five copper coins were picked up together as if they were glued together.
Tang Xiu'er made a lot of effort to break off a copper coin. It was found that the lower part of the copper coin connected to it was impressively imprinted. This opponent's hand is not only fast in secret weapons, but also uses extremely high internal force to melt the copper coins together.
Tang Xiu'er stuck out her tongue at Guo Xiang and said, "It's good that I didn't chase it, otherwise it would have been for nothing." Guo Xiang glanced at Tang Xiu'er and said, "Don't, I'm really going to meet you later, I guess you still have to chase after you." Guo Xiang and Tang Xiu'er are also familiar with each other, and they know that Tang Xiu'er is the kind of temper that can't stand up to persuasion.
The two opened the door and found that the disciple who came with Ye Wufeng was gone, and they must have chased Ye Wufeng as well. The two of them went downstairs and walked down the street chatting about the martial arts of the sun and the moon that they had just seen.
As she spoke, Tang Xiuer's eyes lit up, and she pulled Guo Xiang to a book-selling stall. Tang Xiu'er said softly: "Don't look back, man in black. Guo Xiang hurriedly followed Tang Xiu'er and pretended to start looking through the books on the stall.
The man who set up the stall suddenly saw two beautiful women standing in front of his stall, and he was also stunned, but he reacted instantly, picked up a book and began to sell.
"Two beauties also like to read essays and novels, so I'll recommend one to you. The man who set up the stall picked up a book, pointed to the book and said: "This "Star on the Saka Road" is a new novel, about the strange things of the eastern island country, don't look at this book, although it is written by a novice, but it is also called a ......."
Where were Tang Xiu'er and Guo Xiang listening, Guo Xiang whispered to Tang Xiu'er: "Hey, don't you plan to catch up." Tang Xiu'er took the bookstall man's book, pretended to look through it, turned her head to glance at it, and said, "If you don't chase it, you can't do it, I looked at it, but I didn't see my uncle." After speaking, he put the book on himself, dropped the sentence and ran away when I wanted the book.
Guo Xiang just wanted to catch up, but the bookstall man shouted urgently: "Hey, I haven't paid yet." ”
"How much?" Guo Xiang pulled money into his clothes.
"Five taels of silver for two copies. The bookstall man stretched out his hand and made a five.
Guo Xiang looked confused, glared at the bookstall man, and said, "What kind of book? It's so expensive, how much is that one?"
"The author wants to eat too? A book of four taels. ”
Guo Xiang was stunned for a moment, grabbed a copy of "The Lord Works" and stuffed it into his pocket, threw down five taels of silver and hurriedly chased Tang Xiu'er.
The bookstall man put five taels of silver in his hand again, and a smile bloomed on his face: "I didn't expect to take the book of the same author." Wonderful. The book sales of this rotten author are extremely poor, but I didn't expect to sell two of them for five taels this time, and when I met these two wronged leaders, Lao Tzu was also lucky today. ”
A passer-by from other places who was also picking up books on the side was also surprised to see Guo Xiang buy two books for five taels of silver. You must know that although prices have risen, essay novels are generally only one or two pieces of silver. He opened his mouth and asked, "Which author's book is so expensive?"
When the bookstall man heard that there was a play, he raised his eyebrows and took out two stacks of books from below, which were the two sold by Guo Xiang and Tang Xiuer. "Let me tell you, although this author is famous, but the writing is good, otherwise it can be sold for five taels of silver, right?"
When the passer-by heard it, he thought it made sense. picked up the book and was about to flip through it, when the bookstall man hurriedly pressed his hand and compared it to four. "Give you a cheaper, four or two copies, which is considered a friendly discount for you. ”
When passers-by heard this, they thought that it would be good to be cheaper for a tael of silver. I paid for two copies and left. The man from other places took the book "Stars on the Saka Road" and read it while walking, and only after walking a short distance threw the book on the ground and scolded angrily: "You are dead on the street, such a bad book is still good?" turned around and just wanted to go back to the book seller to theorize, but found that even the stall was gone, where was there still people.
