Chapter 100: Blackwater
Out of "Ling Tianzong", Zhao Xinming hired a carriage and galloped all the way to the east. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThree days later, Zhao Xinming changed to a carriage and continued eastward. After walking for another four days, the carriage left Bingzhou and came to Heishui Town, a remote town in the northwest of Youzhou. Heishui Town is named after the Heishui River, it is the last town in Youzhou to go to the "Ghost Domain", out of the town to the southeast for three days, you will see a mountain pass surrounded by black fog, through the mountain pass is the first dangerous place of the Great Zhou Dynasty - "Ghost Domain"!
Blackwater Town is not big, with only two streets in front and back. Because of its proximity to the "Ghost Domain," Heishui Town has gradually been reduced to a three-way zone, and there are almost no permanent residents in the town, and those who dare to stay are by no means good at stubble! In addition, the Youzhou War has just ended, and the entire Youzhou has been beaten to pieces, and strongmen from all walks of life have poured in. The official government in the town is also useless, and the county magistrate turns a blind eye to the town in order to protect himself.
At this time, it was late October, less than two months after entering the "Ghost Domain", and a group of outlaws came to Blackwater Town one after another. These people are either Jiangyang thieves, or wanted criminals by the government, or traitors to the sect, and they are unrestrained when they come here, and they act without scruples, and they will draw their swords against each other if they disagree. Just an hour before Zhao Xinming came, two more groups of people fought, leaving seven or eight corpses, and then they dispersed in a hurry.
Zhao Xinming stepped into Blackwater Town, looked at the corpses on the street, and immediately frowned, he had already heard of the chaos in Blackwater Town, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. The middle-aged man who was driving the car received the silver taels, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly rushed away as if fleeing for his life. At this time, it was noon, Zhao Xinming walked on the street for a while, and found that there were many stout men on the side of the road looking at him with bad intentions, and a few people were ready to move.
Zhao Xinming sneered and glanced at it lightly. These big men are also cautious people, and seeing that no one is coming forward, they hesitate for a while and disperse. Zhao Xinming waited for a moment and continued to walk forward. After walking for a short time, I stopped in front of a restaurant. This restaurant is called "a drunken building", it is the highest grade restaurant in Heishui Town, and it is rumored that only this restaurant in Heishui Town will never sell human flesh, so Zhao Xinming only dares to come here.
The scale of the restaurant is not large, there are only two floors, and there are more than 20 tables on the lower floor. At this time, it was dinner time, and the restaurant was full of customers, and only two or three tables were still empty. Zhao Xinming looked around and found that these guests were all people from the rivers and lakes, carrying swords with them, and seeing that the costumes were both gangs and martial artists who practiced alone. Only one man dressed as a Confucian scholar occupied a table alone, pouring himself a drink, and no one dared to approach the surrounding circle.
When Xiao Er saw someone coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and asked with a smile: "This guest officer, please sit inside." ”
Zhao Xinming nodded and sat down at an empty table. There was a Confucian sitting at a table next to him, and when he saw Zhao Xinming, he glanced up. Zhao Xinming smiled faintly and nodded. The Confucian scholar did not react, and continued to drink on his own. Zhao Xinming didn't ask much, just ordered a few side dishes casually and waited quietly. At this moment, five strong men on a table not far away stared at Zhao Xinming, bowed their heads to discuss a few words, and walked over with knives.
Five people surrounded Zhao Xinming, and the leading man slashed the knife on the table with a "bang", and sneered: "Boy, get up." ”
Zhao Xinming raised his eyelids and glanced at the big man, and snorted coldly: "Get out!"
The five of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and laughed violently. After laughing, the leading man sneered, stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it. Zhao Xinming secretly sneered, clenched his left hand into a fist, and hit it lightly. The fists intersected, the big man screamed, took a few steps back, and then said angrily: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
After that, I made a color. The four big men understood in their hearts, and hurriedly swung their knives and slashed over. The guests at the surrounding tables scattered one after another, standing aside and watching coldly, only the Confucian scholar stood still and still poured his own drink. Zhao Xinming's figure shook, his feet stepped on the cloud step, dodged the blades of the four, and punched a big man's back with his right hand.
The big man hurriedly withdrew his knife to defend himself, and the other three people flipped their wrists and also waved their knives to save them. It's a pity that Zhao Xinming's boxing skills have advanced greatly, the big man only saw a fist shadow flashing, and the big knife in his hand was actually defenseless, and he was hit in the chest by Zhao Xinming's punch, and immediately screamed, fell to the ground and struggled twice before losing his breath.
The leader was furious, and he stabbed with a knife as soon as he turned his wrist. Zhao Xinming heard the wind behind him, turned his waist, and dodged. Immediately, he exerted force under his feet, and followed with a fist with his right hand. The leading man reacted sensitively, and with a twist of his wrist, he came to a "old man's back knife" to protect his back. Zhao Xinming punched the knife "boom", the leader couldn't parry, and "Tengtengteng" rushed forward three steps before he stabilized his footsteps. Zhao Xinming succeeded in one move, and then he came up with the "star picking" technique, bullied himself, and hit the leader with a punch in his left hand, and the big man fell to the ground with a muffled snort.
The remaining three looked at each other and ran away. Zhao Xinming snorted coldly, walked to the side of the leader and looked at the big man, the big man was frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young man, spare your life, I won't dare to do it again in the future." ”
Zhao Xinming secretly sneered and was about to kick down. At this moment, the Confucian scholar who was sitting on the side suddenly sighed and said slowly: "Young man, you have to be forgiving and forgiving!"
The sound is erratic, and it sounds like it is far away in the sky, and people can't help but indulge in it. It's a pity that Zhao Xinming's "self-sovereign" artistic conception has stepped into the realm of the second layer of the artistic conception, "the heart is free to make", and it is not affected in the slightest. Zhao Xinming sneered and said in a deep voice: "This gentleman, if the person lying on the ground is me, will the gentleman come out?"
The pupils of Confucian Sheng's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at Zhao Xinming with a surprised face, and then smiled: "Childe, please feel free." After saying that, Confucius threw down a piece of silver and walked away.
Zhao Xinming snorted coldly, kicked down, and the leading man died. Immediately glanced around, and the onlookers were all heartbroken, and they dispersed. Heishui Town is like this, no matter what happens, don't look at the reason, don't look at the process, just rely on the sword in your hand, if you want to gain a foothold here, you have to follow the rules here! Zhao Xinming knows it in his heart, so no matter who comes out, the leader must die, he wants to kill people and stand up!
Killing the leader, Zhao Xinming gently brushed off his clothes and sat down as if no one was around. I only heard a rush of footsteps upstairs, and a shopkeeper-like person came over, looked at the two corpses on the ground, "tsk" surprised, and then said: "Guest officer, you let people go, this broken table and chair will be counted on your head." ”
Zhao Xinming looked up, the shopkeeper was about forty years old, chubby and looking like a profiteer, with a pair of shining eyes, looking at himself with a smile. Zhao Xinming was silent for a moment, took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and put it on the table, the shopkeeper suddenly laughed, picked up the silver and bit it gently, and shouted: "Xiao Er, where are you dead, don't move people out quickly, it's dirty and dirty." After speaking, the shopkeeper glanced at Zhao Xinming and walked away.
