Chapter 218: Showing Off Your Skills (Part II)

Dongfang Hong glanced at those Khitans, and saw that they were tall and very rude, holding crescent-shaped scimitars in their hands, and they didn't know what to shout in their mouths.

And the dozens of bodyguards of this old man Su seemed to be mediocre in martial arts, holding long swords in their hands, and their expressions were nervous, obviously shocked by the momentum of the Khitans.

Dongfang Hong said to Su Haitang: "Give me a sword!"

Su Haitang's eyes widened and asked, "You go back to martial arts?" She didn't seem to believe that the sick young man in front of her had martial arts, but she still took out a sword from the medicinal cart and handed it to Dongfang Hong.

Dongfang Hong's martial arts originated from his father, and Dongfang Bai's martial arts path was even better at kung fu such as fists, and the blades he used were only a steel needle more than a foot long. But at this time, there are too many Khitans, and Dongfang Hongruo may be difficult to win with his bare hands, and only with the advantage of the long sword blade, he can kill and injure some people with his hands in order to have a chance to win.

Among Master Su's entourage was a bookkeeper who understood Khitan dialect and had already gone to negotiate with the leading Khitans. When he came back, he was sweating profusely, his face was full of horror, and he said to Master Su: "Master, the Khitans want 10,000 taels of gold. ”

Master Su was shocked and angry, and said in a trembling voice: "They... They... Are you crazy? These herbs aren't worth 10,000 taels of gold!"

The bookkeeper said: "They said that the people here plus the medicinal herbs are worth 10,000 taels of gold!"

Master Su was terrified in his heart, the total price of this batch of medicinal materials was only more than three thousand taels of silver, if they were given 10,000 taels of gold, not only would this trip to Liaodong suffer heavy losses, but the painstaking management in the past few years would probably be in vain.

Master Su did not want to lose his money, but he was also afraid that the Khitans would not give up, so he was annoyed and angry. He was out of idea for a while, and when he saw those Khitans constantly circling horses, brandishing scimitars, and shouting in his mouth, his heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of his throat.

Seeing that there was no response here, the leading Khitan people were anxious, and suddenly said a Khitan word loudly, and two Khitan youths behind him rushed out, brandishing scimitars, and slashed at the dozens of bodyguards.

When Master Su saw them coming to grab the medicinal herbs, he shouted, "Protect the vehicle and stop them." ”

It was a few bodyguards who got the order and stepped forward to stop it. But those Khitans were too brave, and in an instant, three or four bodyguards were cut to the ground.

Dongfang Hong saw that the Khitan people were hurting people, and with a flick of his long sword, he flew up and stabbed at the two Khitan youths. With two swords, he struck them in the shoulders and carried them under their horses.

When the Khitan people saw that a young man with strong martial arts suddenly came out of the Song people, they shouted one after another. Immediately, more than a dozen people rushed out of the horse and slashed at Dongfang Hong.

Master Su and Su Haitang were originally so frightened that their legs were weak, and when they saw Dongfang Hongyi's weak scholar, they suddenly showed great might, and they were actually carrying upper-level martial arts, and they couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

Although the Khitans are brave and belligerent, if the two armies fight against each other, they can certainly be unstoppable, but if they compare martial arts alone, they are naturally far from Dongfang Hong, a master of the rivers and lakes. I saw Dongfang Hong's long sword trembling, one sword at a time, and after more than a dozen moves, those Khitans fell off their horses one after another.

The Khitan was arrogant and respected heroes, and when he saw Dongfang Hong showing his might, he thought that he was possessed by a god, and he applauded again and again, but he didn't dare to step forward again.

Dongfang Hong saw that the Khitan people were numerous, and thought that if they killed and injured people, they would probably be angered, and at that time, the Khitan crowd would attack them, even if they could get out, the others were only afraid that they would become ghosts under the sword of the Khitans. Therefore, he only stabbed the Khitans in the arm with a knife, and did not hurt their lives.

Dongfang Hong saw that the Khitans no longer stepped forward, so he turned his wrist, stood the long sword behind him, and said to the account room: "Old man, you go and tell the leader of them that Master Su came to Liaodong to sell medicinal materials this time, and the silver money he brought with him has been spent, and it is useless to leave these medicinal materials for them. We wounded a dozen of their brothers, and gave them five hundred taels of silver. ”

He had already noticed that the carriage that Master Su and Su Haitang were riding was very cumbersome, and he thought that in addition to the two people inside, there was still some gold and silver, so he took charge of it.

The bookkeeper looked at Master Su and waited for him to show him. Master Su was already so frightened that he had no master, and when he saw that five hundred taels would be fine, he was naturally overjoyed, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

Mr. Bookkeeper went over to negotiate peace with the Khitan chieftain, the Khitan leader had learned Dongfang Hong's martial arts, and subdued more than a dozen Khitan warriors between a few moves, the martial arts were high, and he had never seen them in his life, even if he was overwhelmed, he could be killed and injured when he was exhausted, but before that he must have lost his troops, which was naturally not cost-effective.

When the Khitan leader saw that the bookkeeper had come to negotiate peace, and agreed to give five hundred taels of silver, he readily agreed.

The bookkeeper came back happily to report the good news to Master Su, although Master Su felt sorry for the silver, but five hundred taels of silver in exchange for the peace of a group of people and medicinal materials, it was worth it.

The bookkeeper took the silver and gave it to the Khitans. The Khitan leader gave Dongfang Hong a thumbs up and said a few words, and galloped away.

The Khitan people came and went, and the originally tense situation became peaceful and tranquil in an instant. Master Su and Su Haitang both came over to express their gratitude to Dongfang Hong, and those bodyguards couldn't help but admire him.

Master Su was busy burying the pot and cooking, took out all the wine and delicacies he brought, and treated Dongfang Hong warmly.

Dongfang Hong hadn't felt such a lively atmosphere for a long time, although he knew in his heart that if he hadn't driven away the Khitans, this Master Su would never have treated him so politely, but he was intoxicated at this moment, so he didn't think about whether the feelings of others treated him were true or false, and only thought about "There is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow".

Master Su's medicinal herb caravan marched all the way to the Central Plains, and during this period, he encountered several batches of Khitans who blocked the road and robbed, and there would naturally be no accidents with Dongfang Hong.

The medicinal herb caravan traveled for more than a month, and when it arrived at the Song-Liao border, Master Su finally breathed a sigh of relief. Dongfang Hong was thinking all the way that when Gao Qi and Li Qingshi returned to the Central Plains, they would definitely go to Yulong Villa to avenge Lin Gongyu. His father's martial arts are strong, and there are many masters in the villa, so he is naturally not worried, Gao Qi and Li Qingshi's martial arts are not idle, although they can't hurt their father, it is not difficult to get out safely.

The only thing he was worried about was Xue Ling, not only worried that Xue Ling would design to provoke the Shangqing faction and the Wuhu and Yulong Villa to fight, and his father would be powerless to resist, but also worried that his father would catch Xue Ling and hurt her life. So he had entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so he said goodbye to Master Su and Su Haitang.

Master Su gave him ten yuan of money, Dongfang Hong is now penniless and has to accept it, but he only accepts the usual money, and the rest insists on not accepting.

Su Haitang was reluctant to give up on him in her heart, but she was a girl, and some words were difficult to say, so she had to watch him leave.
