On the third pole of the day, the White Horse Village was noisy and busy.

A few young and strong blacksmith apprentices were naked, each busy with the work in his hands, and his dark skin was scorched by the fire.

One of the boys pulling the bellows suddenly yawned loudly, and his hands couldn't help but slow down, and he was immediately scolded by the master by pulling his ears.

As soon as the master left, the other people immediately gloated and laughed, squeezed their eyebrows at him and said, "You kid doesn't sleep at night, and you go to peek at whose little daughter-in-law is taking a bath?"

The kid who pulled the bellows is not very old, his body is far from growing, he is so thin that he has no two taels of flesh, but his muscles and bones are strong, especially the two rows of thick ribs are extremely tightly squeezed together, almost seamless, it looks quite weird, and the skin is burnt yellow, which is very copper-skinned and iron-clad.

He secretly glanced at the master, and when he saw that he didn't look this way, he pouted and whispered: "There was a period of chickens and dogs jumping last night, and I don't believe you weren't woken up." ”

At this moment, the other few came to the spirit, and one said: "I slept too sweetly yesterday, so I didn't go out to see, I was in a daze, and I wondered if you just went out to pee, and you sowed for so long, what's the matter, the men in the village are doing it with the crows again?"

The kid who pulled the bellows shook his head: "I saw the black crows, a large area of Wuyang, I estimated that a thousand people from the whole guard had entered the back mountain, oh, the owner of the village followed." ”

"Back Mountain, back mountain is a mountain except for a mountain, what are the black crows doing in there, it can't be idle to go to mining, right?"

The kid pulling the bellows was also a little unsure: "I didn't hear it very well, it seems that the horse of the black crow captain was lost, and he had to go into the mountains to find it." ”

The other few glanced at each other, and they all didn't believe it, most of the crows who first entered the village were two horses with one person, and even one person with three horses, but they lost a horse, and they were guilty of such a rebellion?

"No matter what you're doing, what kind of character is Captain Liu, even if you really don't sleep in the middle of the night, you want to go to the mountains to find horses, those crows dare not go?"

When he said this, the kid who pulled the bellows had sparkling eyes.

Speaking of which, since the black crow captain surnamed Liu entered the White Horse Village, the whole village was shocked three times a day, and it was always lively to see.

The white horse athletes under the master of Xiao Zhai were already unruly, but they had always been masters who walked sideways on the ground of Beiding Mansion, and now they can be regarded as encountering opponents.

The black crow guard is a fierce tiger and wolf gangster, eating and drinking in the village, but no one is used to it, and he has no less to do when he puts down the bowl and scolds his mother, but whenever he sees which white horse athlete is not pleasing to the eye, the two sides stare at each other a few times, and it often turns into a very wonderful group fight.

Fortunately, both sides of the fight think that they are good men who lose and do not lose, and the number of people who end up each time must be the same, and they will never bully more than the less, nor will they use insidious tricks.

The lord of Xiao Zhai and the black crow captain seem to have a tacit understanding, and they have been ignoring it from beginning to end, of course, there are some gossip circulating in private, it is said that whether it is a white horse athlete or a black crow guard, there is a reward for winning and a reward for losing.

For a few blacksmith apprentices, these are rare topics to talk about in front of them, but they are like a fire in the furnace, which looks warm from a distance, but can never really be touched.

A few apprentices didn't dare to be lazy for too long, and soon dispersed, and the yellow-skinned young man pulled the bellows hard, and his slender arms were covered with thick green tendons, lining a pair of arms like iron.

His ears moved suddenly, and then his face showed a look of pain, his stomach gurgled like a frog, and he hurriedly covered his stomach and shouted: "Master, my stomach hurts, I'm afraid I'm going to have diarrhea!"

The blacksmith, who was striking, did not care to teach him a lesson, and when he scolded the lazy donkey for grinding, he ordered an apprentice to come and take his place.

The boy got up from the ground, and it was obvious that he was not tall, like a big monkey, and he jumped out of the door three times and two, and soon disappeared without a trace.

He walked around the streets where the artisans lived, drilled a few narrow alleys in the middle, climbed over several courtyard walls with great dexterity, and finally stopped in a secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard stood an old man, dressed in a green robe, with an inconspicuous iron ruler hanging from his waist.

"Master!"

Zhou Tieqi didn't respond, but picked up the iron ruler on his waist and threw it at the thin young man in the air.

Bang!

Obviously he didn't hit him, but the young man was hit hard, and the whole person fell out and hit the courtyard wall.

The wall powder fell, but the young man got up as quickly as if he was nothing, and smiled, but this time he didn't dare to open his mouth.

"Who is your master? If it weren't for your talent, I would have killed you a long time ago, so as not to cause trouble in the future. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Tieqi's sleeves swayed slightly, leaving a thin and peculiar aura in the courtyard, and the arrangement was staggered, isolating the inside and outside.

He hated iron and said: "Xiao Xuanqi or that Liu Tugou which is the fuel-efficient lamp, if it wasn't for the hurry to find the mount last night, really when they didn't find you watching from the side? Xiao Xuanqi probably guessed that you were a spy in the Imperial Prison, and it was okay to have any scruples, Liu Tugou was bold and reckless, but if he was more vicious, he would take care of you with his backhand." ”

The thin young man said aggrievedly: "I have some so-so horizontal kung fu in my body, so what's so strange, who knows how to practice can't see it, how can a grandmaster like them kill me, and lose my identity in vain? Also, you always say that you would rather expose the identity of the prison spy than easily not miss the teacher's inheritance." But except for hearing from you that I have another uncle, I don't even know about the rest, so how can I leak it?"

Zhou Tieqi shook his head: "Don't say anything else, Liu Tugou has seen your uncle, that's all, the most important thing is that his slaughtering knife seems to be cast by Fu Iron, or simply forged by the ancient magic sword, presumably it is no stranger to Fu Qi training, just pay a little attention, it is not difficult to sense your natural tendon rune bones." ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "Our sect has disappeared for a long time, I'm afraid that even the former enemies have forgotten us, after all, there are many relics of ancient qi practitioners, no one will care too much, but pure qi practitioners are too rare, if it is discovered that there is such a sect that has been passed down from generation to generation, even if there is a prince and a prince, it is still a blessing and a curse." Although the path you take is so remote and rare that it is difficult to reminiscent of a qi practitioner, sometimes, you don't need any conclusive evidence to kill someone, just suspicion and jealousy are enough. ”

"I knew it was so dangerous, so I wouldn't have learned this Laoshzi, how good it would be to take the path of building a foundation and practicing qi inspiration. ”

The thin young man sighed, and suddenly raised his head and said in a shocking voice: "Master, striking iron is too boring, I want to enter the Black Crow Guard." ”

Zhou Tiechi was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "If it's a wolf cub that can't be raised, Tan Shu, I really won't kill you?"

The young man named Tan Shu smiled, his eyes shone with wisdom, and he no longer looked simple and clumsy in the blacksmith shop: "You specially called me over in broad daylight, didn't it just to scare me?"

He peeked at Zhou Tieqi's face, and saw that the old man was silent, so he continued: "You always provoke the black crow captain and the horse bandit leader surnamed Ge Shu to fight together, just to please Young Lord Dou and the prince, but you also deliberately do it so straightforwardly and clumsily, the foolish heart is overflowing, even if the prince and the prince don't believe a hundred in his heart, he must appease and reward your loyal subordinate on the surface." It's a pity......"

Zhou Tieqi smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked slowly, "Oh, what is a pity?"

"It's a pity that Captain Liu's cultivation is too domineering, and he almost raised his hand to suppress all the unconvinced opponents, I'm afraid that he wants to be dominant. You have been a wicked person in vain but have achieved little success, not to mention that you have eviled a young hero, Young Master Dou may not appreciate it, and it is almost a loss-making transaction, do you regret it in your heart?"

Zhou Tieqi was noncommittal, and said leisurely: "You are the spy I planted in Baima Village, you can transfer if you want to, tell me the reason." ”

Tan Shu's eyes lit up: "What about this, the rules of the edict, there are eyes behind the back, and ears on the wall, if you don't deal with the black crow captain, put a nail in it, and the prince will agree." ”

Zhou Tieqi shook his head and sneered: "You pretend to be smart, you haven't seen the prince, you don't know what kind of person it is, it's not comparable to those ordinary generals and ministers who play with power, together with your previous foolish and loyal theories, all of them are wrong, what's more?"

Tan Shu was not discouraged, nodded and continued: "Thousands of miles to ride the wind to come back, alone in the East China Sea with spring thunder. ”

The originally scattered aura in the secluded courtyard suddenly became a little disordered, and Zhou Tieqi stared at Tan Shu and asked, "You mean?"

Tan Shu nodded affirmatively: "If my induction is correct, the slaughtering knife must have used the sword spring thunder of the ancient heavenly sword immortal in our sect when casting, and that kind of induction is the same as when I saw Zheng Shudao from a distance a year ago, it should be the tip of the sword that I don't know where it fell." ”

Zhou Tiechi still shook his head after hearing this: "So what, the West Lake swordsman regards the sword as his life, Zheng Shudao is backed by the West Lake Sword Palace's Baili Qing and the ruling Ao Mang, we can't get that half-handled, Liu Tugou's slaughtering knife is also a life-saving companion soldier, although you have some talent, at this moment compared to him is far behind, not to mention that he seems to have a shadow of supernatural power behind him." ”

Tan Shu smiled, not half discouraged: "It is precisely because of this that I want to enter the Black Crow Guard, near the water tower to figure out the remnants of the spring thunder, and in the future, I can have the idea of crossing the thunder tribulation for so many points and a half, and besides, each has half of the spring thunder, Captain Liu may not care, but a big swordsman like Zheng Shudao will definitely want to provoke, he will be able to get a glimpse of some of the inspiration of the spring thunder in the past, and I must not miss it." ”

Zhou Tieqi was silent for a moment, and his eyes softened a little: "The muscles and bones are jealous of the sky." If you see a glimmer of life, let's go. By the way, your uncle who has never met will enter Beijing soon, and you don't have to recognize him when you see him, if he dies, collect his body for him. ”

Tan Shu didn't have time to rejoice, and was stunned when he heard this: "Collect the corpse?"

"Your uncle is not as ambitious as me, he entered Beijing this time to meet the world with a sword, first, to see if he can lead out the enemies of the division, if there is, it is nothing more than to sacrifice his life, if not, in the future, we will be able to show up on the rivers and lakes; second, it has something to do with you. ”

"Me?"

"Since it is a sword in the world, it is natural that it can't bypass a few great swordsmen in the West Lake Sword Palace, your uncle said, if Zheng Shudao has a false reputation, he will get back the half of the spring thunder for you. ”

Tan Shu turned around and said in a low voice: "Just say this to his old man, I will definitely buy him a high-grade coffin!"
