Chapter 158: The First Martial Arts in Jiangnan (1)

This night, Shen Guhong was destined to be unable to sleep, not because of many doubts in his heart, but because of his feelings for the woman Mo Chou. He could feel Mo Chou's reluctance to the world and his love for life, but God wanted to joke with her and ask her to die.

"Can you hold on until this time? Even if you can, what's the point?" Shen Guhong's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Our fates are so similar, but I am luckier than you, I can still live well in this world, maybe only when facing death, will I know the preciousness of life. โ€

Shen Guhong sat up, looked at his hands in a daze, and only heard him say to himself: "Have a clear conscience, Wen Yongjie is sometimes rigid, but he did it." Alas, it's a pity that I am destined to be a wandering fate, and I will always stand at the crossroads and choose. โ€

Shen Guhong muttered to himself for a while, and then lay on the bed again, until dawn, and did not really fall asleep for a moment.

The door of the inn is always the last to close, the first to open, and when the door of the inn is opened, there are still people who are earlier than the innkeeper.

"It's good for the shopkeeper!" Standing at the door was a female girl, who was delicate and dressed in a light blue dress. Whoever sees such a girl will look at it twice.

"Five girls are early!" The shopkeeper of the inn was a little excited when he saw that this girl actually greeted him, because he knew the identity of this girl, although she was not a prince and noble, but she was more noble than a prince and noble. She is none other than Mi Fang. Nowadays, in the third generation of the Xiao family, in order of age, she is second only to Xiao Rongrong, and people outside call her the fifth girl.

Mi Fang chuckled, then stepped into the inn, and went upstairs to knock on Shen Guhong's door directly: "Brother Shen, are you up?"

Shen Guhong sat at the table drinking tea and woke up, heard Mi Fang's voice, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and shouted, "It's up." โ€

The door opened, Mi Fang walked into the room, sat down on the edge of the table, and said, "Master said that I will ask you to go to Xiao's house today!"

Shen Guhong said: "Is it for the affairs of Jinzhou?"

Mi Fang shook her head and said, "I don't know about this. โ€

Shen Guhong nodded. Then there was a yawn. Seeing this, Mi Fang stood up and said, "Why do you look so tired?"

Shen Guhong shook his head: "It's okay!"

Mi Fang said: "Then wash your face quickly, let's go." โ€

"It's early, isn't it a little inappropriate to go to Xiao's house?" said Shen Guhong.

Mi Fang nodded: "It's true, but we can go to the street for a while first!"

Shen Guhong couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that this is your real purpose." โ€

Mi Fang smiled: "What is the purpose?" Hmph, I see that you are too idle to sit still, and I will find something for you to do." โ€

Shen Guhong yawned again and said, "Okay, wait for me to wash my face." โ€

Mi Fang was overjoyed when she heard this, and after the two cleaned up, they left the inn. Because it was still very early, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and all kinds of shops had not yet opened, let alone small vendors setting up stalls. In the bleak and silent morning light, two hot hearts are merging with each other, perhaps they don't know that their place in each other's hearts is irreplaceable.

"Brother Shen!" Mi Fang called softly.

Shen Guhong said softly: "What's wrong?"

Mi Fang said: "You really scared me in the dungeon that day, can you promise me not to do stupid things in the future?"

Shen Guhong recalled the past and said softly: "No." โ€

"Is that ghost-faced Yama your enemy?" Mi Fang asked.

Shen Guhong nodded: "Yes, I used to think that the only value of my life is revenge." โ€

Hearing this, Mi Fang's heart couldn't help but tighten, at this time she was holding Shen Guhong's arm, Shen Guhong could naturally feel her changes, and immediately stretched out her hand, clenched the slender jade fingers like onion roots, and said: "In the future, I will live well, live for myself, and live because of you." โ€

Mi Fang listened, and her face was full of happy and sweet smiles. The two walked through the alley and onto the street, which was already bustling with activity. Shen Guhong said: "Let's eat something, let's go to Xiao's house!"

Mi Fang replied, and the two of them found a random stall to eat something, and then walked towards Xiao's house.

The Xiao family's mansion is located in the southeast corner of Jinling City, covering an area of about 1,000 acres of land, there are many branches of the Xiao family in the house, there are a total of thousands of people in the side lineage, plus servants, there are almost 2,000 people.

Of these two thousand, almost everyone knows how to do two tricks. Characters like Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chen, who have been famous for a long time, are even more admired by people in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, not to mention the old lady Liang Hongxiao.

Among the younger generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Jian, Xiao Qing, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Rongrong, the four siblings have been famous at the age of fifteen and occupy a certain position in the rivers and lakes, as well as Xiao Jin, Xiao Yan and other young people who are less than twenty years old, are also famous masters in Jinling City. Since the establishment of Xiaoyang, the Xiao family has never declined, and the honor of "the first martial arts in the south of the Yangtze River" has lasted for hundreds of years.

Originally, Shen Guhong came with Mi Fang, and there was no need to report, but because of the etiquette, he still invited the family guarding the door to go in and report.

The gate of the Xiao Mansion is much more magnificent than the official yamen, especially the two stone lions in front of the door, tall and majestic, ordinary people standing, not as tall as the stone lion, and Shen Guhong's height is also shoulder to shoulder with him.

Shen Guhong and Mi Fang stood for a long time, but they didn't necessarily see the family come out. Mi Fang frowned slightly, and said, "Why don't I go in and take a look?"

Shen Guhong nodded, Mi Fang walked a few steps, but stopped again, and said, "It's okay, I'll wait with you." โ€

After a while, someone finally came out. However, it was not Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, who came, let alone Xiao Jian, the eldest son of the Xiao family, but a young man who was about the age of the weak crown. He was gorgeously dressed, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and his every move was domineering.

"Fifth sister, why don't you go in yet?" The young man never glanced at Shen Guhong.

Mi Fang frowned slightly, and said, "You don't stay in the mansion well, are you going out to make trouble again?"

The young man smiled: "Fifth sister, you are wrong, this time I am here to greet the guests." โ€

Mi Fang said: "Uncle, isn't he here?"

The young man snorted coldly and said, "The guests who can be greeted by the uncle are real celebrity masters, some cats and dogs, people who sell their fame and reputation, of course, let me play a small role." โ€

When Mi Fang heard this, he wanted to attack, but Shen Guhong stopped him and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's surname?"

"If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, I am Xiao Yan, the sixth young master of the Xiao family. The young man said proudly.

Shen Guhong nodded: "Indeed, a cat and a dog like me, only a cat and a dog come out to greet me!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Yan was suddenly furious, and his long sword came out of its sheath and stabbed straight at Shen Guhong. Shen Guhong stretched out his right hand, grabbed the sword with his index finger and middle finger, and said lightly: "Your Excellency's swordsmanship, even a cat and a dog can't kill it, it really insults the reputation of the Xiao family." โ€

Xiao Yan's face turned blue and purple for a while, and Shen Guhong spit out with internal strength, and immediately shook Xiao Yan out more than a dozen steps. Xiao Yan's martial arts were not weak, but when he met a master like Shen Guhong, who had experienced a hundred battles, he naturally couldn't make a move. Seeing Xiao Yan's defeat and retreat, the guards at the door all surrounded him. Shen Guhong's face was as cold as frost, but there were many doubts in his heart: "Since Xiao Ye has stopped killing himself, who else in the Xiao family is secretly targeting him?"

"I'm tired of reporting, Shen Guhong is coming to visit!" Shen Guhong looked at those family members, and there was an irresistible majesty in his words. Those family members didn't know what to do at the moment, because Shen Guhong came with Mi Fang.

Mi Fang said: "I'll go tell my uncle!"

Xiao Yan's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Fifth sister, let's teach this guy a lesson first and breathe a sigh of relief for you." โ€

Mi Fang said: "Who asked you to come?"

Xiao Yan shook his head at this time: "Fifth sister knows my temper, I don't want to say it, even if my father and uncle ask, it's useless." โ€

Mi Fang said: "Then you get out of the way!"

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and glared at Shen Guhong fiercely, but it was impossible for him to stop Mi Fang. As soon as Mi Fang walked into the house, Xiao Yan ordered those family members to do something to Shen Guhong. Shen Guhong is not good at entering the Xiao Mansion at the moment, and he is even more reluctant to hurt people, but if he doesn't hurt people, it doesn't mean that others won't hurt him. In desperation, Shen Guhong ordered the acupoints of these people and placed them at the gate of the Xiao family one by one. thought to himself: "After Mi Fang goes in to report, the head of the Xiao family will come out and apologize again." โ€

Although Xiao Yan was pointed at the acupoint and his body couldn't move, he still scolded Shen Guhong. After a while, Mi Fang didn't even come out, and the head of the Xiao family was gone. Shen Guhong was already waiting extremely impatiently, and Xiao Yan's scolding made him even more upset, so he turned around and glanced at Xiao Yan coldly.

When Xiao Yan saw Shen Guhong's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble, and said in a trembling voice: "Youยทยทยทยทยทยท What are you going to do?"

Shen Guhong clicked his dumb again, rubbed his temples, and said softly, "It's finally quieter." โ€

Shen Guhong didn't have a break last night, and his irritability was even better at this time, so he used his internal strength to shout to the Xiao Mansion: "Shen Guhong is visiting, and I hope that the head of the Xiao family will see it." โ€

Coming here today, although it was at the order of Mo Qingfeng, but this is the Xiao Mansion, and Shen Guhong can only invite the head of the Xiao family. At that moment, his voice swept into the Xiao Mansion like a wave of water, and in the entire Xiao Mansion, his voice was spreading. Those who were busy in front of them were closest to the gate, and when the voice came in, they only felt that their minds were buzzing, and they couldn't hear anything except Shen Guhong's voice.

"Hmph, what a bold man, he dares to come to Xiao Mansion to spread wild!" The man who came was burly, dressed in black, his beard and hair moved, he carried an axe on his shoulder, his complexion was bronzed, and the muscles of his arms were like pieces of iron, containing the power of ten thousand jun.

Xiao Yan saw this person coming, and his face was happy, but he was dumb and couldn't say half a word. When this burly man saw Xiao Yan lying on the ground, he abandoned Shen Guhong first and walked towards Xiao Yan. At this time, people kept pouring out of the Xiao Mansion and surrounded Shen Guhong.
