It didn't take long for Lu Sanchuan to enter Wuchang City, but he lingered under the city gate for a long time, not knowing where to go. He only knew that Qianxingmen was in Wuchang, but he didn't know the east, west, north and south. Occasionally, Lu Benchi went to Wuchang to find Yuan Qiming to talk about martial arts, and invited him to go with him, he always shirked with "I am not from the rivers and lakes" or "the road is far away", although Lu Benchi was disappointed, he did not force him. Therefore, he listened to Lu Benchi's instructions to "go to Wuchang to find Uncle Yuan", but after entering Wuchang, he no longer knew the way.

He looked at the wide avenue in front of him and thought in his heart: The news of his father's death has been known to many people, so people have gone to Jiangzhou Lu Mansion to search for the sword spectrum of the Dragon Yin Knife. Those people have found nothing, and they will definitely not give up, maybe they have ambushed eyeliner everywhere, and they are unwilling to give up any clues. Riding a horse on the road is too conspicuous and may cause trouble.

So he dismounted, took the reins to the right, and walked along the wall for several miles, until there were no people, and then he tied his horse to the trunk of a small tree, and then returned the way he came.

When Lu Sanchuan heard the human voice, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought: With the prestige of Qianxingmen, the people of Wuchang have heard of it nine times out of ten, so I might as well find someone to ask for directions. He shook his head left and right to inspect for a while, and saw a beggar squatting on the corner not far away, so he walked to salute and asked politely: "Dare to ask this brother, do you know where the Qianxingmen is?"

The beggar was originally leaning against the wall and holding a bamboo stick lazily playing haha, but he caught a glimpse of a pair of broken shoes parked in front of him, and ignored it until Lu Sanchuan mentioned "Qianxingmen", but quickly turned his head to look at him, and said suspiciously: "What are you looking for Qianxingmen?"

Lu Sanchuan blurted out: "Looking for Yuan..." He was about to say "Looking for Uncle Yuan", but his mind moved, and he changed his words: "... I have something to ask to see the master of the Yuan family. ”

The beggar frowned slightly, looked him up and down, stood up and patted his pants, took a bamboo stick and walked into the corner, "Follow me." ”

Lu Sanchuan originally just asked for directions, but when he saw the beggar getting up and walking in front to lead the way, he was so moved: Qianxingmen is really famous. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the way even if I am shown the way. But this beggar brother was so kind-hearted that he took me there himself. When I settle down, I will repay me well.

The beggar led him deeper into the alley, and as he went, it became less and less crowded, until there were no tiles on the ground, and a dirt road made of shoes led ahead. Then the beggar stopped, raised his hand to the south, and said, "The master of the door will discuss important matters with people in this inn." ”

Lu Sanchuan saw that this place was barren and remote, and he was a little vigilant, but when he saw him stop and raise his hand, he followed what he was hoping for, and when he saw an inn, he relaxed: Uncle Yuan is highly respected, and if he discusses with people in the downtown area, there must be a lot of inconvenience, and the location is also excellent.

There is a wooden pole erected in front of the inn, and a red-edged and yellow-edged pennant floats on the pole, with the book "Xinyue Inn". Lu Sanchuan smiled, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly thought: Uncle Yuan is discussing important matters with others, if I break in rashly, it will be really rude, even if he is not angry with me, I am very sorry. He bowed to the beggar and said, "Since the master of the door is discussing important matters with others, it is inconvenient to disturb him, so let me wait for him to come out outside the door." ”

The beggar raised his bamboo stick and pointed to the main entrance of the inn, and said, "The master of the door is meeting guests in the private room, so it is okay for you to wait in the lobby." ”

Lu Sanchuan turned his head to look at the somewhat dilapidated inn, and said with a smile: "At first glance, it looks so simple, and there are even private rooms. It's really a sparrow, although it is small, and it has all kinds of organs. He saluted the beggar again, grabbed his trouser with his right hand, lifted his trouser leg slightly, and stepped forward quietly.

Lu Sanchuan stepped into the inn and saw a few beams of yellow light coming in from the window, reflecting the dust that was blowing in the air. There are four square tables scattered in the lobby, but there are no chairs. A wooden ladder was bent to the second floor, and the railing against the handrail was missing and broken.

His eyes swept over, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he turned to leave, and the beggar followed him into the inn, closed the door, and said with a smile: "If you come, you will be safe." Guest officer, please inside. But with two points of coldness, two points of indifference, and six points of viciousness.

"Yo, there's a guest coming. ”

A light blue curtain hangs on the north side of the lobby, and the sound comes from behind the curtain.

Lu Sanchuan had already understood, followed the sound and looked, and saw a big man walking into the lobby with the curtain lifted. The corners of the big man's mouth are unilaterally upturned to the right, and he is obviously also a ruthless character. A few people appeared one after another, behind the counter, on the second floor, in the shadows of the corner.

Lu Sanchuan's eyes swept back and forth, and when he saw that there were as many as five people, he made a calculation in his heart, knowing that this time there was a lot of luck. Although he trembled, he still hugged his fists and saluted the five people, and said respectfully: "I have come to look for the master of the Yuan Sect, I wonder if he is in your inn?"

Da Hanpi said with a smile: "The owner of the door is noble, but how can he be in this dilapidated house." ”

Lu Sanchuan hurriedly said: "It turned out that he was not here. And disturb, I will take my leave. With that, he turned around.

The beggar put the bamboo stick horizontally, his eyes faintly revealing a fierce light, and said lightly: "Since you are here, why don't you sit down and drink a bowl of wine before leaving?"

Lu Sanchuan took a step back, and Yu Guang paid attention to the movements of the other four people, and asked, "What wine?"

The beggar smiled, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he grabbed the middle end of the bamboo stick with his left hand and pulled it, and actually pulled off the bamboo stick to reveal the silver shining sword body, "Blood Qiong Wine!" and stabbed the sword at Lu Sanchuan's heart.

Lu Sanchuan was shocked, and hurriedly jumped to dodge the cold sword, and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, what are you doing!"

The big man asked lightly: "Let me ask you, what are you doing to find the master?"

Lu Sanchuan was worried that he couldn't tell the truth, so he replied: "Naturally, I admired the prestige of the master and came to take refuge." ”

The big man sneered, his eyes turned left and right, and the other three drew their swords and held their swords, "Qianxingmen has a very high reputation in the rivers and lakes, the master of the gate is majestic and benevolent, and countless people have come to take refuge. However, Qianxingmen only accepts six people a year. ”

Lu Sanchuan immediately understood, "So you use this method to kill all those people who admired the Qianxing Gate and came to take refuge!"

The man sneered, "Only in this way can we hope to enter the Thousand Lines Gate. It's all about begging for a living, I'm sorry. Brothers, come on!"

The four of them raised their swords and rushed towards Lu Sanchuan.

Lu Sanchuan was embattled and had nowhere to escape, his brain spun rapidly in an instant, and he suddenly remembered the method of snatching the knife taught by his father. Someone had approached him and slashed at him with a machete.

Lu Sanchuan was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately, these people's martial arts were low. The man who raised the knife to slash him raised the knife above his head and then gathered his strength for a long time before slashing it.

Lu Sanchuan took the opportunity to jump away to the left.

And there was also an opponent on the left, who stabbed him with a long sword. In desperation, he had to flash again. dodged left and right like this, and after a short time, he was forced into a corner, with no way out.

The five of them pressed towards Lu Sanchuan together. Two of them were holding swords and two were carrying swords, and the big man was holding a copper mace in his hand, which was all red and obviously extremely heavy.

Lu Sanchuan leaned against the wall, panting and constantly sweeping towards the five people, although he knew that he was in danger, he was not panicked, and kept thinking about how to get out of danger.

The beggar shouted: "Brother Long, look at how I shoot this bamboo feather mang!" and stabbed straight at Lu Sanchuan, but the sword speed was slightly inferior to the sword path. Lu Sanchuan was engrossed, and when he saw the beggar stabbing with his sword, he subconsciously tilted a few points to the left, and when the bamboo sword stabbed through, he grabbed the beggar's wrist with his left hand and twisted it hard, the beggar screamed, and the bamboo sword fell out of his hand. Lu Sanchuan's right hand was inserted under his left arm to catch the bamboo sword, and as soon as his left hand was pulled, the beggar leaned towards Lu Sanchuan, and when the two were only a few feet apart, Lu Sanchuan let go of the beggar's wrist and grabbed the beggar's left shoulder, and held the bamboo sword in his right hand and put it on the beggar's right shoulder, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!"

The person holding the sword was suddenly at a loss, and Qi Qi turned his head to look at "Brother Long" Shi Chenglong.

Obviously, Shi Chenglong is the head of the five. At the moment, Shi Chenglong was not in a hurry, with a faint smile of evil charm on his face, he approached Lu Sanchuan with large and slow steps, and his tone seemed to be relaxed, "Little brother, be merciful to your subordinates, and have something to discuss." ”

Lu Sanchuan saw that although his steps were slow, he had no intention of stopping, and immediately pulled the bamboo sword inside and put it on the beggar's neck, and shouted: "One step further, I will... I'll kill him!"

Shi Chenglong finally stopped in front of Lu Sanchuan's left, only seven feet away from Lu Sanchuan, "Okay, I won't move forward anymore, little brother, don't get excited, if..." Speaking of this, Shi Chenglong paused and slowly raised his arms to the sides, as if he was about to disarm and surrender, but his arms were not flat but he suddenly swung his fist and smashed towards Lu Sanchuan.

Lu Sanchuan was startled and hurriedly fled. The beggar, still shaking his mind, had not yet recovered from the pain in his wrist, and when he noticed that the hand that was holding his left shoulder was gone, he turned his head to look to the left, and saw a red copper mace coming towards him.

Only a "bang" sound was heard, and the beggar's head was struck by the brass mace, and blood splashed like water. The beggar was beaten to shreds on the head and fell to the ground and died.

Lu Sanchuan looked at the blood all over the ground and was shocked, and Shi Chenglong's cold voice came from his ears, which made him even more frightened.

"Soon, the Thousand Lines Gate will accept the disciples. I will never miss this opportunity. ”

Lu Sanchuan turned his head, his round eyes full of disbelief.

Shi Chenglong smiled, as if he didn't think so, "I have been crawling on the edge of hunger and death for a long time, and I don't want to live under others anymore, just join the Qianxing Gate, and I can be admired and enjoy glory and wealth." No one can stop it. ”

Lu Sanchuan took a few breaths, his eyes rolled slightly, and he saw that the copper wedge in Shi Chenglong's hand was dripping with blood.

The other three obviously did not expect such a scene, and they were all so frightened that they did not dare to move.
