Chapter 20: Black and White, Power and Power
"Who is this old gentleman, and what does this mean?" Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man stood up slowly, the gray cloth robe on his body swelled like an inflatable swell, a seemingly oppressive momentum emanated from his body, and a pair of sharp crystal eyes like eagles and eagles stared at An Muhua like staring at the prey under his minions, and said without a trace of expression on his face: "Old man Changwei, what bandit is called 'Wind Thunder Knife' in the rivers and lakes." This Mrs. Du, who suffered the pain of losing her father because of you, is the old man's niece!"
An Muhua's face changed suddenly, and he was able to run such a huge family business in Luoyang, and he naturally did his homework on the black and white forces in the Heluo area. The "Wind and Thunder Knife" in front of him Chang Wei He has also heard of it, knowing that the other party was a strange hero who was rampant in the rivers and lakes of Heluo in his early years, he was both righteous and evil, his martial arts were extremely high, and his temperament was extreme.
But the so-called "wicked people have their own wicked grinding", just because Chang Wei acted too domineering, and he had a falling out with a foot monk from Songshan ten years ago. The monk was not a good-natured person, and after a few words of conflict, he made a brazen move, and with a pair of powerful fleshy palms, he shattered the wind and thunder knife that Chang Wei relied on to become famous, and then hit Chang Wei with a palm, and Chang Wei was seriously injured and vomited blood. In the end, the monk did not take Chang Wei's life, but only ordered him to withdraw from the rivers and lakes and not to come out to make trouble.
Since that time, Chang Wei has disappeared, and he has not appeared on the rivers and lakes again. An Muhua also knew about his relationship with the Du brothers, and he had previously adopted a calming attitude and concealed the true cause of the Du brothers' deaths, which was to fear the existence of Chang Wei.
However, Chang Wei finally withdrew from the rivers and lakes for a long time, and although An Muhua was jealous, he would not retreat unprincipledly. After he was silent for a moment, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was neither soft nor hard: "It turned out to be Brother Chang, and An was disrespectful." An has not been in Luoyang for a long time, and he has never had the privilege of seeing the divine power of Brother Chang's 'Wind and Thunder Eight Styles'. I just don't know that Brother Chang is back in the rivers and lakes this time, but you want to use my family to rebuild your 'Wind and Thunder Knife' prestige?"
Although Chang Wei has retired for many years, his temperament in his early years has not been restrained at all, but he is old and spicy, seeing An Muhua, a businessman from a foreign race, talking in front of him, without the slightest look of horror, he sneered, and pulled out a short knife with a long shakuhachi and a thick back and a wide blade from his sleeve with his right hand, and slashed it in front of him, and a thunderclap sounded out of thin air in the hall, which shocked everyone's ears and buzzed.
Chen Yi on the side can see clearly with a pair of sharp eyes and qi induction, this old man's knife is famous, when he swings the knife, the internal force shakes the knife body and makes a huge sound, which can not only take people's hearts and take the lead, but also after the blade hits the enemy, the concussive force on the knife can also make the wound tear expand, and the lethality can be increased by multiples. The other party's name is "Wind Thunder Knife", which must be the source of this hand knife method.
Chang Wei still seemed to feel that the deterrent power was insufficient after slashing this knife, and threw the short knife out with his backhand. The dagger flew towards a pillar in the hall with a deafening thud, and nailed it to the handle. The concussive force of the blade was directed into the pillar, causing the pillar to tremble and dust to fall from the roof.
After revealing this hand, Chang Wei turned his head to look at An Muhua and sneered: "What Master An said is true, the two lives of my nephew and his brother are indeed worth a few dollars. However, they used their two cheap lives to exchange for Master An's net worth and life from the hands of the bandits. Master An dares to say a word to the old man's recast 'Wind Thunder Knife', do you think that your own life is not worth a single shop?"
With that, he put his hands behind his back and looked up at the roof, as if he didn't bother to say anything more to An Muhua.
A red light suddenly flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and when they looked at it in shock, they saw Angel, who was sitting quietly studying the drawings, as if she didn't care about everything, somehow flashed to the side of the wooden pillar that was still trembling slightly.
"You old man is also funny, he taught my father to speak to your knife. Angel laughed as she stretched out a hand that had deceived the snow and grabbed the handle of the knife that was exposed outside the pillar and pulled it out lightly, effortlessly pulling out the short knife that had been driven deep into the wooden pillar. She raised the short knife and looked at it twice, then pouted, "This knife is just an ordinary steel forging, and the forging technique is quite clumsy, so what's the big deal!"
Speaking of this, her bare hand holding the knife suddenly exuded steaming heat, and although everyone in the hall was some distance away from her, they still felt a scorching breath rushing towards their faces, and they involuntarily changed color and retreated.
The short steel knife in Angel's hand quickly turned red and soft, and then turned into drops of golden-red molten iron and fell, and then turned into an ugly black lump on the ground paved with square bricks.
In a matter of moments, the short knife in Angel's hand had melted away, and her slender hand was still smooth and white, with no signs of burns.
"Turning iron into gold, Miss An is so strong and incomparable to the Yang Internal Force!" Chang Wei's face became extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "But I don't know which master Miss An is?"
Angel covered her mouth and chuckled: "The little woman just practiced some family heirloom tricks indiscriminately, which made the old man laugh." ”
Chang Wei thought that the other party deliberately concealed the origin of the master, which was also commonplace in the rivers and lakes, so he stopped asking.
But Chen Yi on the side knew that Angel'er's hand was by no means a martial arts secret skill, but a natural power possessed by her Western Fire God bloodline.
Chang Wei snorted coldly, turned to An Muhua and arched his hand: "No wonder Master An has no fear, it turns out that there is such a master hidden in the family." The old man's skills are not as good as others, so he naturally has no shame to ask about this matter again. It's just that right and wrong have their own opinions, but it's not something that anyone can act arbitrarily by relying on force! Lord Gong, you can see everything clearly, and please say something fair. ”
The brocade-robed man who had been hiding behind his peers since entering the door and had never said a word coughed lightly, got up and walked to the middle of the hall, and naturally there was a majesty on his body. This power is different from the evil qi on Chang Wei's body, but it is like the coercive power of a person in a high position.
An Muhua's eyes flashed, and he arched his hand and asked, "Shu An is clumsy, I don't know this ...... yet."
The brocade-robed man smiled indifferently and said: "This official Gong Ping, he has only been in office for a few days, no wonder Master An doesn't know." ”
An Muhua's face changed slightly: "It turned out to be Lord Gong who had just taken over as the chief catcher of Luoyang, and An was rude." ”
After he returned to Luoyang, he heard that the head of Luoyang had just been replaced. It turned out that Xie Tao, the chief catcher who had a little friendship with him, had been transferred to Chang'an, Xijing, but the new chief catcher Gong Ping had not yet had time to catch up with the line, and he didn't want the Du family to take the first step to win him over.
Gong Ping waved his hand and said: "Master An doesn't know his own official, and he can't talk about being rude." This official came this time only to investigate a case. A few days ago, Chang Shi, the widow of Du Shan, a citizen of the city, came to report the case, saying that the murder of the Du brothers was very suspicious.
"After the investigation of this officer, it was found that this matter is indeed strange. Master An said that the Du brothers were killed by bandits, but there is no corroboration except for you, which makes this official have to be puzzled. I also ask Master An to go to the government office with this official and explain the cause and effect of the matter in detail!"
