Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu, who were watching the battle in the car, couldn't help but change their faces, but Zhao Chengzong was still so quiet, and a smile appeared on his face. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said that it was too late and that it was fast, and everyone saw a flash of figures in the field, and the coachman had already circled behind the power. This time the speed was too fast, and even Duan Xiliu couldn't see it clearly.

The power was shocked, a knife slashed the air, and the wind brought his body crookedly, and the big knife slashed to the ground, and actually split a crack in the bluestone ground, which shows that the knife power is amazing. Before the power was exhausted, there was no shadow of the coachman, he was also a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and hurriedly changed his moves, twisted his body, and slashed the big knife on the ground, and slashed behind him when it was round.

The coachman was standing behind him, smiling, and his body suddenly rose up, and the whip in his hand suddenly stretched out, and wrapped around his broadsword like a rattan. Power sneered, his broadsword was made of stainless steel, and he was naturally not afraid of the whip that was as soft as a rope. Seeing that the knife was entangled, the power pulled hard, thinking that it would break the coachman's whip, but he didn't expect that the whip was still firmly wrapped around the big knife, and he couldn't pull it. Then he looked at the coachman and said to him with a sneering face: "Boss Quan, how about taking a step back? Beware of being used as a gunman." ”

Power snorted and said angrily, "Who are you? The coachman said lightly: "It's just a little coachman, and it's not worth mentioning." But you are the boss and you are deceived by others, saying that you must not be taken advantage of. Now that the martial arts conference is coming, it is better to be careful. ”

The power was dragged again, and the big knife did not move at all, and he was shocked, and said angrily: "What I am looking for is the head of the Wudang faction, what do I have to do with you?" The coachman shook his head and said: "The head of Wudang is my son's friend, of course he has something to do with me, and he can't let the head down." With a flick of his wrist, the power only felt that the big knife in his hand was loosened, and it was swept away by the horse whip, and then he heard a "pounce" sound, and the horse whip rolled the big knife and nailed it to the pillar next to the inn, and the handle of the knife buzzed in the air, showing that this move was amazingly powerful.

The power lost the big sword, his face turned pale, and he took a step back and said: "You ......" The coachman smiled: "It was just a misunderstanding just now, and it is important for the head of the power to do business." Power looked at the coachman for a while, sighed, and said, "Okay." He stepped forward and pulled out his big sword, turned over on his horse, and with a wave of his big hand, the Wuji faction immediately turned their horses' heads, extinguished the torches, and quickly left behind the power.

These people came and went as fast as they came, and they disappeared in an instant. The coachman sighed, walked over to Zhao Chengzong and said, "Childe is frightened." Zhao Chengzong said lightly: "Uncle Zhao has worked hard. The coachman nodded, jumped back into the carriage, and the four young men immediately flashed to both sides of the carriage to escort them. The innkeeper kept watching the battle from the crack in the door, and when he saw that the fight was over, he opened the door of the store and welcomed everyone in.

After opening the room, Zhao Chengzong lived in one by himself, Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu lived in the other, and the guards were sandwiched between the rooms on both sides. After this battle, the night was dark, and everyone hastily ate some food and went back to rest. Xiao Han and Duan Xiliu returned to the house, closed the door, and after washing, the two of them lay on the bed, but they couldn't sleep.

Xiao Han spoke first: "Brother Duan, do you know who that coachman is?" Duan Xiliu shook his head and said: "There are a lot of strange people and strange things on the rivers and lakes, this person's skills are extraordinary, and they are indeed not to be underestimated, but I have never heard of such a number one person in the martial arts." It must be a martial arts hermit, unwilling to mix with red and mundane things. Xiao Han nodded and said, "I think so, too, but I heard them mention the three sects and thirty-six sects today, how much does Brother Duan know?"

Duan Xiliu paused for a moment and said: "The three sects naturally refer to the Shaolin faction, the Emei faction and our Tianshan faction, these three factions are the three major factions of today's martial arts. Xiao Han interjected: "I know this, what about the thirty-six factions?" Duan Xiliu glanced at him, and continued: "The thirty-six factions are the Tiangang sects that were decided when the martial arts conference was held that year, in fact, there are many sects in the rivers and lakes, and there are definitely not only these thirty-six factions. When the first martial arts conference was held, there were 145 sects participating. The strong on the rivers and lakes are respected, and under the supervision of the three sects, it took a month of martial arts to decide the thirty-six factions. Since then, every three years, a martial arts conference will be held in Shaolin to re-rank the Jianghu sects. If the unsuccessful sect is not satisfied, you can register in the Shaolin Temple and then challenge the selected sect. If the selected sect is defeated, the ranking will be cancelled. Therefore, every three years, there will be a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes. ”

Xiao Han frowned and said, "How can it be bloody? Rankings can naturally arouse the sense of honor of the people in the rivers and lakes, which is a good thing." After thinking about it, he nodded again: "I see, in order to make themselves rank high, those Jianghu people will do their best to prevent powerful sects from being selected when the competition is approaching every day, so that the rivers and lakes are not in chaos?"

Duan Xiliu glanced at him with admiration and said, "That's right, so in the past few years, every time there is a martial arts competition, some of the sects that were selected in the last session will be robbed and killed. Six years ago, at the martial arts conference, because of the poor preparation of the three sects, there were nineteen factions on the rivers and lakes that were wiped out, but most of them were small sects that had the strength to challenge the selected sects. It was rumored that the 36 factions would eliminate dissidents, but the 36 factions naturally refused to admit it. The rivers and lakes were in turmoil, and the three sects had no choice but to send their disciples to Tiannan and Haibei to supervise. That year, seven sects were selected, and forty-one challenge sects were disqualified. ”

Xiao Han sighed: "It turns out that this is the real rivers and lakes, fight and kill, for fame and profit?" Duan Xiliu smiled: "Naturally, it is best to gain fame and fortune." Xiao Han shook his head and said: "The strong on the rivers and lakes are respected, the weak eat the strong, and for their own selfish interests, they ignore the lives of others, so how is it different from the dark government?"

Duan Xiliu looked at him strangely and said, "What do you care so much about?" Do you know what the Wuji faction wanted to challenge you just now?" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Are they also one of the thirty-six factions?" Duan Xiliu thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be, I remember that the Wuji faction came to challenge three years ago, and finally lost to the Lingxiao Palace in southern Fujian, and did not get the ranking, this time I don't know who instructed me to come to you for trouble." Judging from the current situation, we must be cautious in the future. ”

Xiao Han nodded solemnly, if someone wants to deal with the Wudang faction, they will naturally kill him before the game, which is a simple and effective way. However, now that he is with Duan Xiliu, it is a natural umbrella. Now we need to know who sent them here.

The two discussed for a long time, but there was no clue. Speaking of Zhao Chengzong's identity again, Xiao Han's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a book he had read before, which detailed the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty and those important ministers, and more importantly, it also listed the children of the ministers one by one. The last time I saw Zhao Chengzong, I felt that this name was very familiar, and now compared with the book, Xiao Han immediately thought of a name, and slowly showed a smile on his face.

Duan Xiliu saw that he was pretending to be mysterious, so he didn't ask anymore, and fell asleep. Xiao Han then lay down to rest, because he knew that someone was protecting, and he slept very sweetly.

I woke up early the next day, had dinner and set off again. Zhao Chengzong always had a faint expression on his face, but it was difficult to hide his pride. Thinking about it, he was proud of his success in protecting Xiao Duan and the others. Xiao Han didn't say anything, just kept looking at the driver in front of him. Zhao Chengzong saw him like this, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhao was originally a martial arts hawker, and by coincidence, he became my father's personal companion and coachman. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "If I come back without seeing Master Xingkong, my father will definitely blame me." ”

Duan Xiliu comforted him and said, "Let's go back as soon as we finish our work, and we won't let Gongzi delay time." Zhao Chengzong nodded, and the three of them stopped talking, only the sound of the carriage rolling far away could be heard in their ears. In the evening, we finally arrived in Tokyo City. When entering the city, the guards were very respectful to Zhao Chengzong, which made Xiao Han more solid in his guess.

As soon as everyone entered the city, Zhao Chengzong found an inn for Xiao Duan and the others to rest, and left with his family. Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the inn gate, he saw five fast horses galloping over, and the first one was Meng Wanxi, who was born like a porcelain doll. Zhao Chengzong immediately stopped, ordered Uncle Zhao to take someone back, and then bundled up his clothes and greeted him with a graceful demeanor.

Meng Wanxi was also very strange when he saw him, and then jumped off the horse and said, "Is Xiao Han here?" Zhao Chengzong smiled: "Exactly." Meng Wanxi ignored him anymore, turned back to the four monsters and said, "I'll live here tonight." As he spoke, he walked in first.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet her, opened the room, and respectfully led her back to the house. Zhao Chengzong also opened a room, knocked on the house of Xiao Duan and the two of them, and told them that Meng Wanxi was also here. Xiao Duan and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Seeing that Zhao Chengzong was fascinated by her, the two had no choice but to call him over the house, and the three of them prepared some nuts and vegetables, plus a pot of sake, ate and drank, talked and laughed, and did not go back to the house to rest until midnight.

When I got up early the next morning, I saw the coachman surnamed Zhao waiting outside, and Zhao Chengzong was talking to him. When he saw the two men come out, the coachman turned and left. Zhao Chengzong came over with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Xiao, Brother Duan, good news." ”

Xiao Han looked at him with a sunny face and asked, "Miss Li, do you have any news?" Then he heard a crisp sound behind him, but it was Meng Wanxi who stepped on a basin, and the water in the basin splashed everywhere, so panicked that Xiao Er hurriedly went to clean up.

Meng Wanxi glanced at Xiao Er, didn't care about being angry, and went straight over and said, "What's the good news?" Zhao Chengzong stared at her face and smiled: "Last night, my servants had already informed Kaifeng Mansion, and the catchers had dispatched overnight, and they had already found out the news, and there had been no large-scale martial arts battles in the past few days. It's just that seven days ago, two Taoist priests took a young girl and a young man to have some quarrels with Mrs. Lan in the princess's mansion, and the two Taoist priests were beaten away by Mrs. Lan, but the girl and the young man were taken into the palace by her. ”

Xiao Han was confused when he heard this, but Duan Xiliu said happily: "You said that the junior sister and junior brother have entered the palace?" Zhao Chengzong nodded, looking very proud. Meng Wanxi glanced at him and said, "Then don't you take us in to find someone." Zhao Chengzong looked helpless, but his heart was happy, this was the first time Meng Wanxi had spoken to him.

It's just to take them into the palace, this thing is not a joke, besides, Lan Aoshuang is arrogant, even the current emperor is afraid of three points, how dare he provoke her. Zhao Chengzong stammered: "This, since Mrs. Lan has taken someone away, and there is Miss Chai inside, Miss Li should be fine." ”

Xiao Han glanced at Duan Xiliu, Duan Xiliu pondered for a moment and said, "Since it was Uncle Lan who invited people away, we can rest assured." Xiao Han thought of Lan Aoshuang's relationship with the Tianshan Sect and Ye Tianhan, and his heart was very safe, but he was extremely suspicious of her purpose of robbing Li Yueying. Besides, he rushed back from the Shaolin Temple in a hurry, but it was such a result, Sima An's old madman's words really couldn't be fully believed.

Everyone discussed in the inn for a long time, and the palace could not be entered, unless they did not want to live. The final result was that Zhao Chengzong accompanied Duan Xiliu to the palace gate as a disciple of the Tianshan Sect, and the rest of the people stayed in the inn and waited.
