Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fighting the Sword Rivers and Lakes
The place where the goddess sat was in the shade of a tree, and there was a wall beside it, and the wall and floor were polished so smooth that it was evident that people often sat here during the day.
The goddess looked at the afterglow of the sunset and thought of a way, in fact, whether it was with her posture or martial arts, it was not difficult to live a worry-free life, but she lacked experience and didn't know where to start.
The goddess was thinking when a boy dressed in black with a wooden stick at his waist walked over. He looked at the sword in the priestess's hand and said:
"Beautiful sister, are you also a swordsman?"
The goddess thought for a moment and nodded.
"Great, tonight we have a showdown between the Yele Gang and the Baixi Gang, can I hire you to help?"
The goddess pondered for a moment that it was not a good thing to get involved in gang fights, but fighting people was her best skill at the moment, and asked:
"What's the way to help?"
"Gather on the south side of Wuyi Lane at night, as soon as you arrive, we will give you a tael of silver, and if there is a real fight, we will give you an extra tael of silver for every person we defeat. I know it's not a high price, but it's getting late, and it's hard to wait for business if you continue to sit here. β
"Where is this?"
"You don't know, this is Sword Alley, and traders hire coolie bodyguards here to find people. β
The goddess pondered for a moment, it was no problem to be a serious bodyguard with her own ability, but now she was a little hungry and urgently needed to eat a meal first, even if the job was not so legitimate, she had to agree first.
"Okay, but a tael of silver is a little too little, and I still have one condition. β
"What conditions?" the boy asked.
"Treat me to a meal first. β
The little boy thought about it, and the goddess didn't say anything to eat anyway, so she nodded in agreement.
The goddess followed the little boy to a noodle shop called Erniu Noodle Restaurant, which was very broken from the inside out, and the tables and bowls were also tattered, but there were many people in the noodle shop, and the clothes were as broken as this noodle shop.
Seeing the arrival of such a delicate-looking and brightly dressed beauty as the goddess, almost everyone looked at it, and they just stared at the goddess while eating noodles, and the soup spilled out.
"The owner came for two bowls of beef noodles. The boy shouted.
"Okay. β
Because this noodle restaurant is very popular, the noodles are quickly cooked and served, and the little guy who serves the noodles walks much slower than usual, and his eyes can't leave the graceful carcass under the veil of the goddess.
"Brother Xiaolin, who is this? β
After putting it down, the little guy at the end asked the boy.
"She's the swordsman I just hired, how about it, it's good-looking. β
"But shouldn't swordsmanship be important?"
"Since this is a swordsman, the swordsmanship should not be bad, right? β
The boy looked at the goddess, who nodded as she ate her noodles.
Seeing that the goddess was so hungry, the little guy at the end leaned into the boy's ear and said, "Brother Xiaolin, is this female swordsman reliable, she looks like she hasn't eaten for a day, how can a master be hungry like this?"
"You are too worried about this, you see that although she is in a hurry to eat noodles, her breath is not chaotic at all, her movements are also extremely stretched, although she eats fast, she is still so elegant, and she is a master of swordsmanship at a glance. The boy called Brother Xiaolin also said softly.
Although the two of them were talking in a small voice, the goddess could hear them clearly, but she didn't care much about other people's opinions, so she pretended not to react and continued to eat noodles.
"You just brag, you can still see that people's swordsmanship is superb after eating noodles, your boss asked you to hire thugs, you just find such a beautiful woman to go back, it's strange not to be scolded to death." β
After saying that, the little guy went to get busy again.
Xiao Lin touched his head, thinking that what he said also made sense, so he became a little entangled.
The goddess also sensed Kobayashi's entanglement, but she still ate noodles.
Although this small noodle restaurant is broken, the ingredients are simple, but the heat and seasoning are still very authentic, and a large bowl of noodles was quickly eaten by the goddess. Although this noodle is not as exquisite as the meal of the Zhuxiang girl, it has a unique flavor, and it is endlessly memorable after eating.
"I'd like to have another bowl. The goddess said.
Xiao Lin shook his head when he heard this, thinking that this female swordsman was not here to cheat and drink, so he said:
"Don't eat too much, it's inconvenient to fight at night. β
"Well, that's right, but when you win the night, you'll want to treat me to a few more bowls. β
"If I can win this time, let alone eat a few bowls, even eat a few pots, I will also please. β
After the two finished eating, Xiao Lin got up to pay the bill, and the two bowls of noodles only cost a total of four yuan, which means that as long as the goddess goes tonight, she can earn enough money to eat 500 bowls of noodles.
Xiao Lin was afraid that the goddess was just cheating on a bowl of noodles to eat, so he said, "It's not early, you can report directly with me." β
"Hmm. The goddess nodded cheerfully.
Following Xiao Lin around a few alleys, the goddess came to the door of the Gathering Hall of the Yele Gang, and at this time night had already fallen.
Xiao Lin asked the goddess to wait at the door, and he went in to report it first, as soon as he entered the door, it happened that Chen Gao, the leader of the Yele Gang, was counting the people.
"Helper, I've hired another swordsman in Sword Alley. β
"Oh, can you hire someone so late? good, is he here then?"
"Here, right outside the door. β
"Well, let him in. β
"You can come in. β
Kobayashi shouted.
The goddess pushed the door in, the ice-green tulle fairy skirt fluttered in the wind in the dark night, and the person had not yet appeared, and the fairy spirit was already high.
When the goddess was now in the hall, everyone was amazed by her beauty.
"What a beautiful beauty!"
Chen Gao sighed.
"Oh, no, what about the swordsman?"
"That's her. Kobayashi said.
"Damn, you're funny, she's going to be a swordsman, right?"
"Yes, she was sitting in Sword Alley with a sword in her hand when I saw her. β
"According to what you say, as long as you hold a sword, you are a swordsman, I will give your grandmother a sword, is your grandmother also a swordsman?"
"This ...... I asked her, and she said yes. β
"Damn, I still said that I was the emperor, you kowtow to me?"
"Gang leader Chen has dominated the rivers and lakes for thousands of generations. β
Xiao Lin immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Gao.
Originally, Chen Gao was a little angry when he saw that Xiaolin had found a woman to act as a thug, but it can be seen that he kowtowed so sycophantly, and most of his anger disappeared.
"Forget it, anyway, I don't know why it's so difficult to hire a thug this time, since she is so beautiful, let her stand next to me and serve as a faΓ§ade. β
"Thank you. β
Xiao Lin gave the goddess a tael of silver, and the goddess took the silver and stood at the front of the team, immediately increasing the average value of the team's appearance by a large amount.
"Everyone is a person in the rivers and lakes, you should know the legend of the strongest artifact in the world, Huaxia Zhensoul, originally everyone thought that this artifact was in the Jiazi Cave, but in fact it has been taken out of the cave. Chen Gao began his mobilization speech.
As soon as the goddess heard about Huaxia Zhen Soul, she became interested, could it be that Huaxia Zhen Soul would be here?
Chen Gao cleared his throat and continued:
"Now the whole Jianghu is looking for clues about the soul of Huaxia Town, and recently it is rumored that Wang Xi, the saint of the book, has mentioned the soul of Huaxia Town in a letter with friends, so the former residence of Wang Xi in this Wuyi Lane is likely to have some clues about the soul of Huaxia Town. And Wuyi Lane, where Wang Xi's former residence is located, originally belonged to the territory of our Yele Gang, and now Baixi's people heard this rumor and sent people to Wang Xi's former residence to investigate, and also injured our people, so I called everyone here today to meet Baixi's people in Wuyi Lane. β
"Baixi's people are too much, saying that the good south city belongs to us and the north city belongs to them, they are blatantly provocative. The second master, You Long, said.
"That's right, so we want to take this opportunity to suppress their arrogance, brothers, take good guys, come with me!"
Chen Gao gave an order, and more than a dozen junior brothers grabbed their weapons.
Their weapons were very disorganized, with swords and swords, guns and clubs, most of them dressed in uniform black, and some of them wore plain clothes, apparently hired masters.
The goddess followed Chen Gao out of Juyi Hall, and soon came to Wuyi Lane, Chen Gao asked a few little brothers who had been waiting there for a long time, and then stomped his feet angrily and rewarded those little brothers with a slap.
It turned out that he had already sent his younger brother out to hire people for a lot of money in order to fill the faΓ§ade, and the people he was looking for said that they would meet in the south of Wuyi Lane, but those thugs were afraid to come when they heard that the Baixi Gang had hired several powerful swordsmen.
"Damn, what are these grandsons afraid of, he Baixi Gang can hire masters, can't I hire masters in the Yele Gang? β
Chen Gao said.
"That's it, this time we hired Wang Yu, the No. 1 swordsman in Pengcheng, what is there to be afraid of with him in charge?
You Long asked the little brothers.
The little brother said tremblingly:
"I heard that the Baixi Gang used a gold medal for a brothel that can recruit prostitutes for unlimited free to hire Chang Bo. β
You Long's face changed in shock when he heard this, and Chen Gao was also suddenly clever.
"Is your information accurate? If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that I peel you off. Chen Gao said.
"Absolutely accurate, the Baixi Gang has already released its words, and our eyeliner has also seen Chang Bo enter the brothel of the Baixi Gang. β
"What if you see it? Maybe it's just a fox and a fake tiger, I don't believe that Chang Bo's mad dog will really help Baixi help those wastes. β
"Who doesn't believe it?"
A slightly mocking voice came from afar, and Peng Youyu, the leader of the Baixi Gang, came over with a large number of thugs, and at the front of the gang of thugs, there was a man with unkempt hair and a red iron knife in his hand, which was the mad demon knife Chang Bo.
As soon as Chen Gao saw Peng Youyu coming, he naturally couldn't lose his momentum, and said:
"Huh, I heard a dog barking just now, and I don't know what it called. β
"Ha, Chen Gao, don't pretend to be garlic, today I have married Brother Chang Bo as a brother with a different surname, and I bring far more thugs than you, if you know each other, you will take your people out of Wuyi Lane, so you can still leave some coffins to live in for the rest of your life. β
"Peng Youyu, you are so thick-skinned, at that time, the forces were demarcated, Wuyi Lane was clearly drawn on the territory of our Yele Gang, today you treacherously came to take Wuyi Lane, and you will stab your brother in the back if you can't keep it in the future. β
"Hmph, don't sow discord here, the entire Peng City was originally our Peng family's territory. It was the old lady's compassion that saw that it was not easy for you people who fled from other places to come here, so he set aside a part of the southern city for you to live. You guys are good, not only do you not know gratitude, but you also have to inch in, not to mention the entire Nancheng, not even Wuyi Lane will let us in, I have to ask Peng Cheng if he has changed his surname?"
"We will never forget the kindness of the old lady, and this Yele Gang was originally created by Peng Youren, the son of the old lady, you Peng Youyu Tianliang killed his own brother, and tried in vain to annex the Yele Gang, and it was the general trend to be replaced. β
"Ha joke, I think it's just you who are a little bit of a person, I want to see what kind of general trend you can do. β
