Volume 1: The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 39: The Northwest Lonely City is Cold and Tight

The Hongxuan Half Immortal of the Mighty Northern Zhou Jianghu finally came back to his senses from the eventful years, he turned around and looked at the six outstanding disciples under his seat, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

To this night, Patriarch Hong's sword of slaying dragons and demons is still hanging high in the Fallen Dragon Pass, deterring thousands of demons and evil in the Northwest Wasteland. Now that Chongyang has gone down the mountain, Ning Yuan's matter will come to light sooner or later. As a disciple of Hongxuanzong, Kuang Fu is far more important than life and death. If Ning Yuan died to cut off the luck of the Dragon Clan, then he would also die a well-deserved death for the benefit of the common people in the world!"

Qing Ce Tianzun's eyes were slightly red, but the look in his eyes was undiminished.

"The sky is yellow and the earth is yellow, Hongwei is shaking, slaying demons and eliminating demons, death and life may as well!"

Without the "Kaiyang Sword", the sound of the six swords of Hongxuan was like thunder, and his deep voice soared into the sky.

I don't know if Ning Yuan, who is already under Jiuquan, can hear it.

This year, the frost fell, Gu Tiannan practiced the sword drawing style 6,000 times, and the frost and snow on the branches ten zhang away seemed to fall.

This year, the frost fell, and Qingce Tianzun went out of the customs, and the six disciples watched the clouds and discussed the sword, and stayed awake all night.

This year, the frost fell, the cold wind of Yunmeng Daze gradually tightened, the bright sky shone on the decaying grass, and the clouds grew with the word goose.

This year, the frost fell, the northwest border was full of snow, the lonely city was cold in the mountains, and the end of the world was tired.

There is a small city called "Shuofang County" in the northwest border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is located in the remote place of the "fertile soil of Shenzhou" in the mouth of the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

On Beimen Street in Shuofang County, there is a magnificent manor mansion.

The scarlet door panel of the mansion's vermilion gate is carved with two lifelike pepper pictures of mythical beasts, and the mouth is crowned with a glittering copper door buckle. The mythical beast "Jiaotu" is one of the nine sons of the dragon, with a dragon's head and a snail body, and is also known as the "auxiliary head ring".

There is a stone lion on the left and right of the vermilion gate, the male lion roars angrily, the demeanor is solemn, the female lion licks the calf deeply, and the simple posture is lovely. The plaque above the vermilion gate is written with four golden characters of "Sky Eagle Dart Bureau", silver hook and iron stroke, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Shuofang County is close to Xiliang, deserted after going out of the city, Xiangma Qiangren frequently haunts, often cut the path to block the road, rob the caravan, so Shuofang County is full of dart bureaus, there are more than 50 large and small dart bureaus, "Sky Eagle Dart Bureau" is one of them.

This year, the frost fell, and the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau took over a business, this dart had to go to Xiliang Yongzhou once, and then go north to Youyan through Yongzhou.

It is not unusual for the Eagle Dart Bureau to go north, and what is strange is that this dart is not to transport tea, wine and porcelain, nor to transport silk and silver, but to transport a person.

A young man with a silver-white mask who calls himself the "Third Prince".

In the wooded dart game of Shuofang County, the reputation of the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau is neither big nor small, there are more than 50 executioners, 37 dart masters, and 8 dart heads.

The eight dart heads of the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau are old rivers and lakes, all of whom have been crawling and rolling in the shadow of swords and swords since they were children, and they are used to licking blood from the knife edge, and their martial arts are all around the realm of three grades.

The martial arts realm of the thirty-seven dart masters is uneven, generally in the sixth-grade and seventh-grade realms, and there are also masters in the fourth-grade realm, but there are only a few five.

Many of the people in the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau are middle-aged men who have strong bodies and want to come to the dart store to find something to eat, and they don't know anything about swords, fists and feet, so they can only rely on their voices and brute strength to do the hardest work.

Most of the dart masters are small sect disciples who have been studying art for a few years and have wandered the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are barely in the door.

There are also four Jiang Yang thieves who wash their hands in a golden basin among the darts, and these people seem to have no rules, but most of them are ruthless and killing the enemy with one move.

The reason why the Aquila Dart Bureau is willing to take in the thieves who used to fight each other with swords is not their skills but their connections.

In the dart industry, in the final analysis, it is not about martial arts, but about fame.

There are so many strong people in the three mountains and five mountains in the northwest border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that if you take a dart, you have to fight one city after another, and what else can you do in this business? If you die an executioner, you have to pay thirty or forty taels of silver, and if you die a dart master, you will have to pay even more.

There are these Jiangyang thieves in the dart master, and when they pass by which mountain gate, they report their names in the rivers and lakes, and maybe they can use a few thin noodles to break the fortune and avoid disasters.

The old man Tang Wenze, the head of the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau, is nearly seventy years old this year, and he has a small reputation on the ground in Shuofang, and he is a hidden weapon master who can dart and hurt people from thirty steps away. It is said that Tang Wenze was in the porcelain business in Xiliang when he was young, and accidentally rescued a master of the rivers and lakes who was hunted down by the enemy.

In order to repay his kindness, the unnamed master of the rivers and lakes taught Tang Wenze an amazing secret weapon kung fu, as well as a set of internal skills for breathing and breathing.

After Tang Wenze Yicheng returned to his hometown Shuofang County, he used the family background of reselling porcelain to pull up a team of more than ten people and began to dart. In the past forty years, Tang Wenze's Tianying Dart Bureau has grown from small to big, and has not lost a dart, and his reputation in Shuofang County and Xiliang is not bad, and the Tang family has gained a firm foothold in the northwest.

But now the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau, which Old Man Tang has worked so hard to manage, is facing the embarrassing situation of having no successor.

Tang Wenze traveled south and north when he was young, and he had no fixed residence, so that he started a family late, and he did not give birth to a son and a daughter until he was in his forties, the eldest son was named Tang Chen, and the second daughter was named Tang Yu.

Tang Wenze had a middle-aged child, and he spoiled Tang Chen so much that he was reluctant to let his baby son Tang Chen suffer a little and suffer a little sin.

Since ancient times, loving mothers have many defeated children, and loving fathers are even more harmful to children.

Tang Chenda has been a frequent visitor to the five major gambling houses in Shuofang County since he was fifteen years old, and when he was seventeen years old, he simply moved to live in the most famous green building in Shuofang County, "Huichun Garden", and mingled with the wind and dust women day and night.

Not only did Tang Chen not know the slightest martial arts, but his body had already been hollowed out by wine, his eyes were blank, his face was dull, and he staggered when he walked. Not to mention the swords and swords in the green forests and rivers and lakes, the wind and sand outside the plug can blow Tang Chen down.

Recently, Tang Chen has been in debt, owing the gambling house a full 8,000 taels of silver, Tang Wenze was so angry that he vomited three mouthfuls of blood because of this matter, but his Tang family still lives in Huichun Garden, singing every night, drunk and dreaming of death.

Fortunately, Tang Wenze's second daughter Tang Yu supported the Sky Eagle Dart Game.

Tang Yu is four years younger than his eldest brother Tang Chen, and he is twenty-three years old this year. Tang Yu has followed Tang Wenze to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he has obtained Tang Wenze's secret weapon and true transmission of mental methods.

Tang Yu has been following the dart head in the dart game since he was eighteen years old, and when he was twenty years old, he fought with a group of horse bandits in Wild Wolf Valley, leaving a hideous scar on his white face from the corner of his right mouth to the corner of his right eye.

In the battle of Wild Wolf Valley, although Tang Yu left this hideous scar on his face, which became an indelible pain for his daughter's family, there were also five horse bandits who died under her flying knife, all of which were sealed with a knife.

Tang Yu became famous in the first battle, and the dart of the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau was not lost after all.

When the "Third Son" came to the door, Tang Wenze didn't want to take this dart.

First of all, the "third son" did not transport porcelain, gold and silver, nor tea, wine and silk, but only himself and two old servants accompanying him. If these "three sons" were either hunted down by the enemy or wanted by the government, why did they need to come to the dart bureau to accompany them for protection?

Moreover, these "three sons" have to go north to Youyan through Yongzhou, and the road is far away. Especially out of the Xiliang boundary, there is a border area of nearly 500 miles between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Youyan Dynasty, and there is no official jurisdiction, which is even more unpredictable. There are not only Xiangma strongmen, but also the scouts of the Northern Zhou and Youyan countries fighting each other, and if they are accidentally involved, they will be in a situation from which they will never recover.

In order to make a name for himself when Tang Wenze was in his prime, he walked across the Youyan border three times with enthusiasm, and each time he died in his life. Most of the dozen or so scars on Tang Wenze's body were left when he went north to Youyan.

But the old man Tang hesitated, because the "third prince" brought five silver tickets of one thousand taels, and promised to pay seven silver tickets of one thousand taels to the Heavenly Eagle Dart Bureau after arriving at Dunhuang County of the Youyan Dynasty. It's not that Old Man Tang is open-minded when he sees money, because now there are more than a dozen strong men sent by the gambling house sitting at the gate of the Tang Mansion, and they are not shouting, but each of them is holding a big banner of "debt repayment".

Tang Wenze is more or less a figure in Shuofang County, how can he not be embarrassed to let the people in the city point fingers? But the eldest son, Tang Chen, has already squandered most of Tang Wenze's hard-earned family funds, where does Tang Wenze still have 8,000 taels of silver to pay off his gambling debts?

If the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau takes over this business, Old Man Tang will not only be able to pay off Tang Chen's gambling debts, but also give him a beautiful scenery and marry a daughter-in-law with a good family background.

The ambition is still there, but the old and frail body, Tang Wenze has several arrow sores on his body recently, and his old body, which is nearly seventy years old, may not be able to walk to Xiliang, let alone the dangerous and abnormal Youyan border. If you don't go by yourself, God knows if the darts in the dart game will travel thousands of miles back to Shuofang County after receiving the seven thousand taels of silver tickets.

This amount of money is not a small amount, enough to betray a big dart head with a monthly salary of only thirty taels.

Just when the "third son" turned around and planned to invite Gao Ming, Tang Wenze's second daughter Tang Yu opened her mouth to take the dart.

Tang Wenze was overjoyed and secretly praised the tiger father and no dog girl!

Old Man Tang immediately lit up the elite people in the dart game, five of the eight dart heads were accompanied by the bodyguards, and the big dart head Wang Yangbo personally pressed the formation, and hurriedly summoned twenty-eight young and strong dart masters.

Before leaving, Tang Wenze told him to let Wang Yangbo, the big dart head whose martial arts were second only to him in the dart game, take care of Tang Yu, and privately promised a reward of five hundred taels.

After seeing Wang Darttou and his daughter Tang Yu leave, the five thousand taels of silver tickets were not hot in Tang Wenze's hands, and they were taken by the strong men in the gambling hall who were blocked at the door of the Sky Eagle Dart Bureau with a smile, and then walked away.

Tang Wenze, who did not believe in Buddhism and did not worship God in the past, also went to Feiyan Temple in Shuofang County to pray that this trip would be smooth sailing, and that his daughter Tang Yu would return safely with the remaining seven thousand taels of silver tickets, so that his son Tang Chen could settle down and start a business.

"When he marries a wife and has a few more children, Chen'er's heart will settle down, and the Tang family will have a future. Tang Wenze, whose face was full of wrinkles, thought secretly.
