15. Pay back

Kou Laoqiang stood in the room, his face very heavy. Hu Yandan, the chief butler of Izumo Village, was reporting to him about the situation tonight. Thanks to this big butler, otherwise Kou Laoqiang's life today would really be explained to his Izumo Village. The assassin was so good at his skill that he slipped all the way outside Kou Laoqiang's bedroom and no one noticed him. Fortunately, when the assassin was about to climb through the window with a sword, he was bumped into by Hu Yandan, who was leading the night patrol. Hu Yandan shouted loudly, raised his knife and went up to fight the assassin, but the assassin saw that the operation failed, and did not fight, and after parrying for a few rounds, he flew away. This led to the later scene of the Izumoso family looking for the assassin everywhere, and several martial arts masters who were resting in the village joined the search for the assassin, but in the end no trace of the assassin was found.

Hu Yandan kept persuading Kou Laoqiang to suspend the martial arts meeting, and he guessed that the assassins were among the masters who lived in the village and were preparing to compete in martial arts. And Kou Laoqiang only held his chin and didn't say a word, thinking about who the assassin might be in his head. After all, he had done business with Manjin for so many years and had offended too many people, but who would dare to take such a big risk to go deep into Izumoso to kill him? In the end, he had to stop his thoughts, and said to Yandan: "This martial arts conference must not be canceled halfway, it is Prince An's intention to hold a martial arts meeting, he wants to take this opportunity to find out the Central Plains martial arts, make arrangements for the next step to control the martial arts, and by the way, recruit some available people for Heishui Hall." Since the Qing army entered the customs, our group of imperial businessmen has not been of much use, it is rare that Prince An has given a task, I can't mess it up, otherwise the future will be really difficult. “

"That villain can only add more samurai patrols, and I hope that the owner of the village will allow me to follow left and right these days to protect the safety of the owner. Hu Yandan had no choice but to say helplessly.

Kou Laoqiang heard this and said: "I think so too, you are strong in martial arts, you will be with me for the past few days to protect my safety." “

On the second day, Kou Laoqiang personally appeared to the people in the village to say that the martial arts conference would be carried out as usual and would not be terminated because of the trivial incident last night. When everyone heard such a guarantee, they were relieved, knowing that they would not run in vain. Since the competitions are all held tomorrow, Lin Zexuan has nothing to do today, and those so-called famous and decent people also disdain to make friends with Group C, so Lin Zexuan has no one worth visiting, but he met three brothers in the group, who themselves said that they are from Mobei and are known as the three heroes of Mobei. Because these three people didn't have any contempt for Lin Zexuan, and they still had a great appetite for Lin Zexuan, they became friends after several conversations. It is said that the three heroes of Mobei are Mongolian royal families, and they all inherit the golden blood of Genghis Khan, so they are respected by everyone when they come to this martial arts meeting. But these children of famous northern families don't say it, and the contempt for the barbarians outside the Saiwai in their hearts is more or less also felt by the three heroes outside the Saiwai, so these three people don't bother to talk to those people.

Soon, Lin Zexuan and the three recognized each other's brothers, and since Lin Zexuan was younger than the three of them, he simply called the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother of the three. In the morning, the four of them chatted about the scenery of Saibei and Liaodong. The second brother also took out the mare's milk wine brought from Mongolia and gave it to Lin Zexuan to drink, which tasted very good.

In the afternoon, for some reason, Lin Zexuan wanted to see what Xie Zimo was doing, so he walked to the residence of the Huashan faction. The Huashan faction came a lot of people this time, plus a total of twelve people from the head of the team, so Izumozhuang directly drew a big courtyard for them, and they were practicing martial arts in the courtyard when Lin Zexuan came. At a glance, he saw Xie Zimo, who was seriously dancing the sword.

"Huashan sent disciples to practice martial arts, and outsiders were not allowed to watch. A tall young man shook the duck's throat in front of him, covering his gaze at Xie Zimo.

Lin Zexuan was fooled by him, and simply shouted loudly: "Purple ink girl, Lin Zexuan has something to look for you." “

"Why are you looking for my little junior sister?" When the tall man heard Lin Zexuan's words, he suddenly became calm.

"Fourth Senior Brother, don't be so fierce. He's my friend. When Xie Zimo heard Ze Xuan's shout, he immediately jumped out, practicing his sword, his face sweaty.

When the tall fourth senior brother heard Zimo's voice, he had no choice but to hold back and stop talking, glaring at Lin Zexuan fiercely. It's like walking in the precincts.

"What are you looking for me?" Xie Zimo's silver bell-like voice was very beautiful.

"Uh-huh. I'm looking for you" Lin Zexuan just called her patronizingly, and forgot to find her excuse, and was a little speechless for a while. Fortunately, he reacted immediately: "I just wanted to return the silver to you, no, didn't you forget it last night." “

"Hey, I thought something was going on. You don't have to pay back the silver, take it and buy some delicious food, it's not easy for you, why do you pay me back. Xie Zimo hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he did not accept it.

"I've had a lot of food in Izumoso for the past two days, and I don't need your money to eat enough. Ha ha. Lin Zexuan said with a hippie smile.

"Well, then, I'll take it back. After a fierce ideological struggle, Xie Zimo said not very firmly. In fact, after she gave all the silver to Lin Zexuan yesterday, she really regretted it for a while. That's the money she has saved for a long time, and she originally planned to use a sum of money to buy a lot of fried stinky tofu, wanting to eat enough at one time. That's good, I don't have the money, and I can't buy it. Seeing Lin Zexuan come back to repay the money, he was still very moved.

"It's all back to you. Lin Zexuan stuffed the money into Zimo's hand. When the two of them touched their fingers, their hearts trembled.

In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Lin Zexuan hurriedly found a topic. Xiang Xie Zimo asked, "By the way, what group are you in?"

"Naturally, it's Group B, we juniors can only compete in Group B, and only masters like Master and Senior Brother can go to Group A. However, the top five in Group B can be in Group A. Xie Zimo said.

"That's it, hehe, I was assigned to Group C, and I heard that the first in Group C can also enter Group A to compete. Maybe I'll be able to run into you then. Lin Zexuan said with a smile.

"You mean you think you can get to the top of Group C?" Xie Zimo's eyes widened.

"Hehe, in fact, I still know some martial arts. Lin Zexuan may have had the intention of being pretentious in front of the girl, and with a wave of his hand, he rolled up the sword in Xie Zimo's hand, pulled a few sword flowers, and stopped, only to see the sword body shaking at a very fast frequency, making a slight metallic concussion sound.

"You're so good, wow, I can't do that. Xie Zimo was stunned and shocked when he saw Lin Zexuan's hand, and then looked at him with a very admiring look.

Lin Zexuan couldn't help but have a smug expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth were about to be attached to the corners of his eyes.

When he went back, Lin Zexuan's heart was sweet, and his smile never broke. When others saw him, it was like a fool squinting and smiling. As soon as Lin Zexuan stepped into the courtyard of Group C, he was picked up by the three of them, who were the three heroes of Mobei.

The three of them laughed together, and the eldest brother took the lead in saying, "You kid went there in the afternoon, and the three of us brothers are looking for you so hard." “

"Big brother, let me down, I'm just going out for a walk. Lin Zexuan was helpless.

"Do you still need to ask, Ze Xuan must have gone to which sect to flirt with the girl, hahaha, you said yes, Ze Xuan. The second brother laughed.

"Be honest. This happy voice is the third brother.

Lin Zexuan had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Three brothers, I shouldn't have left you to walk around, let me go quickly, let's drink, I'll drink a few more glasses, it's my reparation." “

"That's pretty much it, let's go drink. The three heroes of Mobei laughed loudly together.

"Alas. Lin Zexuan had no choice but to be held by the three of them, smiling wryly and shaking his head.
