Chapter 3: Layout

"Get out of the way!"

A fast brown horse galloped down the street, and a young man in a golden brocade robe on horseback waved a leather whip to disperse the crowd on the street.

"It's the seventh young master of the Xiao family, get out of the way!"

The surrounding crowd was familiar with the young man riding on the street, and hurriedly gave way to a passageway, as if after countless rehearsals, only a lame old man seemed to have accidentally fallen to the ground because of his inconvenient legs.

"Old thing, get out of here!"

The place where the lame old man fell was exactly the direction in which the young man was going, and the young man in the brocade robe had no intention of changing lanes, and when he was less than a foot away from the old man, a whip shadow swung over, and the old man's body flew out sideways and smashed on the wall between the two shops.

The lame old man spat out a mouthful of reddish-brown blood, struggled to get up, and by the way, picked up a piece of silver on the ground and held it firmly in his arms.

"Interesting ......"

The corners of Jiang Ming's mouth, who was watching the excitement in the teahouse, outlined a slight arc, when the old man fell, he was about to come to the rescue, but at the moment when he was about to make a move, he sensed the true qi of the old man's body.

A person with that level of true qi, let alone lame, even if his feet are broken, as long as his hands can still move, he can easily avoid the horse, and no matter how bad he is, he can ensure that he will not be injured under the trampling.

"This level of injury, as long as you go to the medical hall in front and spend three or five taels of silver, you can be cured, just now Young Master Xiao gave you twenty taels of silver, and the rest of the money is enough for you to live for three months, don't get out of here." ”

"That is, the young master of the Xiao family is merciful, otherwise if you change to someone else, you will get a funeral fee at most. ”

"The old thing that took the shit luck, get out of here!"

......

The surrounding audience was full of discussions, jealous and contemptuous, but there were no sympathizers.

In the prosperous era of martial arts, there will naturally be no shortage of doctors, and this level of injury is not as serious as the injuries received during the training of some martial arts halls, and this injury is exchanged for twenty taels of silver, which is naturally shit luck in the eyes of onlookers.

"It seems that this world is even more chaotic than imagined!"

When it was time to encounter an unprovoked interception, Jiang Ming had already anticipated the chaos of this era, but witnessing it with his own eyes was another matter.

A thousand years ago, although there were people who rode horses on the street, even if they hurt people, they would not necessarily be punished, but at least everyone knows that such behavior is wrong, and it must be the person who scolds the horse behind his back.

There is a distinction between right and wrong, and if you are fortunate enough to meet a righteous person, you will be able to uphold justice.

And now, it has been taken for granted that powerful people are riding horses in the streets, and those who are injured are ridiculed and ridiculed, even if there are people who are willing to punish evil and promote good, there is nothing they can do in the face of such a situation.

"This young man, I see you sitting in this teahouse every morning, and you will only return to the inn late at night, it has been ten days, and you haven't found a genius who can make you look at it?"

A middle-aged man dressed in a gold-edged costume slammed a jar of wine on the table, and his rough and bold voice was so penetrating that it overshadowed the noisy sound of the teahouse.

Jiang Ming faced the street and didn't seem to hear the middle-aged man's question.

The bold middle-aged man didn't care about Jiang Ming's ignorance, slapped the wine jar open by himself, and poured out two bowls of wine:

"I see the young man's extraordinary temperament, I don't know where the teacher is?"

At this time, the teahouse had quieted down, and dozens of eyes fell on the two of them, but no one stepped forward, and no one discussed.

"Are you from the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Ming did not answer the middle-aged man's question.

The middle-aged man was not angry at Jiang Ming for ignoring his words: "That's right, it's just not talented, but it's an honor to be able to enter the eyes and ears of the young man." ”

"If you want to kill the city lord, you naturally have to know something about the city lord's mansion. Jiang Ming explained with a smile.

The teahouse was even quieter, and no one thought that someone would dare to threaten to kill the city lord in public.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly, Jiang Ming's answer was too unexpected for him, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

"Ignorant junior!"

The middle-aged man in Huafu didn't reply, but some people around him couldn't help it, "I don't know how thick I think I have a little strength, and I'm ashamed to teach the elders of the teacher." ”

"That's right, where did the wild boy come from, he dared to threaten to kill the city lord. ”

"I guess it's grandstanding, I want to be famous!"

"Hmph! It's just a futile attempt to die!"

......

The people around all reacted, and someone threatened to kill the city lord in front of the people in the city lord's mansion, and they naturally wanted to express their respect and admiration for the city lord, as well as their contempt for this young man who didn't know the height of the sky.

Anyway, you don't want money for flattery, and there is no loss when you say it, but others say it, and if you don't say it, you may be remembered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion - that middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes is not as bold as it seems on the surface.

The middle-aged man in Huafu waved his hand and quieted the surroundings: "I don't know what grievances the young man and the city lord have, since ancient times, it is better to settle the grievances, if there is no blood feud, it is ......"

"There is no injustice and no hatred. Jiang Ming interrupted the middle-aged man's words.

The middle-aged man in Huafu pondered for a moment and said: "The city lords of all the cities in the entire Dongzhou are canonized by the Nine Underworld Sect, the will of the city lord is the will of the Nine Underworld Sect, and being an enemy of the city lord is an enemy of the Nine Underworld Sect, the young man may be extraordinary, but in front of the Nine Underworld Sect, everyone is an ant. ”

"I thought you'd do it on the spot! Jiang Ming sneered.

"Smack!"

The middle-aged man in the Chinese costume slapped his palm on the table, and the wine jar and the two bowls were shattered into pieces at the same time: "Don't deceive people too much!"

Jiang Ming glanced at the elm table, not only was it not broken, but it didn't even have a palm print, obviously the palm just now was slapped for others to see.

"Don't dare to do it, just say directly, the ants are still stealing, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Jiang Ming didn't give the middle-aged man any face, and mocked mercilessly.

"You ......" The eyes of the middle-aged man in the costume almost erupted with fire, but it was extinguished in an instant.

He's deliberately provoking me to make the first move...... A cold sweat slipped down his forehead, and the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes had entered a dilemma.

The crowd of onlookers also noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird, and they turned their faces sideways, not daring to let their faces fall into Jiang Ming's sight.

Just now they made provocative remarks because they wanted to behave in front of the people of the City Lord's Mansion, but now even the people of the City Lord's Mansion have confessed, of course they will not be stupid enough to brush up on their sense of existence at this time.

In this world, you can live a long time by being realistic.

It's really bearable, it's obviously a coward, but he wants to pretend to be so bold, and now he slaps himself in the face!

Forget it, the purpose has been achieved anyway, and my layout will not be affected by a little accident...... Jiang Ming got up and patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man in a Chinese costume and said:

"Inform the lord of the city that he has one day to escape. ”

After speaking, Jiang Ming turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.
