Guests are coming!

These are the four words written on the plaque in the lobby of a chic tavern in Jining Mansion.

And the business of this restaurant is indeed as written on the plaque, and the customers are like clouds!

There are some noisy restaurants in the restaurant, all of them are three or five tables, or chatting, or gossiping, there are many Jianghu customers here, and there are also a lot of ordinary people.

At the easternmost end of the restaurant, on a private seat near the window, sat a man with a tiger's back and a felt hat on his head, which was wrapped in a black silk scarf and covered his face, and even when he was drinking, the felt hat was not removed.

On his desk lay a sword about four feet long, unsheathed and unspiked.

The sword was as simple as the wine and meat that was placed in front of him.

A pot of wine, a large porcelain bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a plate of beef, no peanuts.

He sat there quietly, drinking quietly, and only occasionally picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks in front of him and put it in his mouth.

His movements are very leisurely, and his people are very silent.

Not far to the right of this man, there are four men sitting together chatting.

"Everyone, presumably during this time, you have also heard about Xiaohe County, right?" One of the men, after taking a sip of wine, put the pair of chopsticks on the table and stretched them out into a bowl of dishes, with a relaxed expression, as if he had inadvertently mentioned it.

One of them said: "How can we not know such important news in the rivers and lakes? Brother Zhou said, isn't it Xiong Qiang?"

"Hmph, this makes me and other people in the rivers and lakes shameful, Xiong Qiang did a lot of evil, insidious and cunning, and even used lime powder in the competition to break the seven-star sword formation of Wudang Mountain, and even Qingming Zhenren almost died in his hands. ”

When the other person heard this, he also echoed and said: "Yes, I heard that Xiong Qiang has a peach blossom face, and he is quite handsome, because he covets the beauty of Wudang Yunli's new wife, he went to rob his relatives, but he also has some ability, although he used that kind of indiscriminate means, but even Qingming Zhenren was defeated in his hands."

It's just that I heard that when he took the woman away, the woman also shot out in shame, and also stabbed Xiong Qiang with a secret weapon, but unfortunately Xiong Qiang saw through it and was poisoned by Xiong Qiang! To say that this Xiong Qiang is a golden and jade animal, and he is a beast in it. ”

Listening to the words of these two people, the face of the man before immediately became strange, that day in Xiaohe County, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, but he didn't expect that this matter would be spread to Jining like this, and at the moment he could only look at the two friends who came from hearsay in amazement, and slapped the table and laughed.

And the person who was sitting quietly drinking on the other side, after hearing this version of Xiong Qiang, the wine glass he was holding suddenly paused, but soon, he brought the wine to his lips again, tilted his head slightly, and slowly sent the wine into his throat.

"Who are you listening to? It's really laughing at me, it's really a lie, the more it spreads, the more it spreads, the more it appears, there is a version with lime powder? It's not like this at all, Xiong Qiang broke through the seven-star sword formation, defeated Qingming Zhenren, it is indeed with real skills, maybe if I say it, you won't believe how fast his sword is, such a fast sword, it is really the only time I have seen it in my life. ”

The two of them both smiled sarcastically, and one of them waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, although it has always been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xiong Qiang's sword is fast, if it is not a trick, how can he beat Qingming Zhenren? ”

The man surnamed Zhou could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he wanted to talk about what he had seen and heard in Xiaohe County, but unfortunately these two people didn't listen to him at all. At the moment, he just said: "I have an old relationship with Wudang Yunli Dao, and on the day of his wedding, I am naturally among his invitations, and the events of the day are what I saw with my own eyes, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would reach your ears in Jining, and it would become like this, just believe it or not, but as a friend, I advise you, if you meet a man who is only in his twenties and has no sword sheath, you should be careful." This person is most likely Xiong Qiang. ”

Suddenly, sitting opposite the man surnamed Zhou, the man who had never spoken, turned his eyes to the position of the man near the window, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou is not wrong, Xiong Qiang's sword is indeed amazingly fast, and Xiong Qiang's most conspicuous sign is that his sword has no scabbard and no sword spike, but I haven't seen this person." However, if Brother Zhou has seen it, you can take a look at the mysterious man sitting behind you by the window, and his sword is also unsheathed and unsheathed. ”

Hearing this man say this, those people immediately stopped talking, and their eyes were all secretly looking at the man near the window, when the man surnamed Zhou saw the lonely figure near the window, especially when he saw the slender and unsheathed sword, his body suddenly trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tang, not bad, although I can't see his face, but judging from his figure and the tungsten steel sword, he is Xiong Qiang nine times out of ten!"

When the man surnamed Tang heard this, his face changed slightly, he glanced at the man by the window, and after taking a sip of wine, he said: "Everyone, you drink slowly, I still have some things to do!"

The other two watched the man surnamed Tang leave in amazement, while the man surnamed Zhou frowned slightly, with a faint trace of panic on his face, and said: "Brother Ye, Brother Chen, I think we will drink here this time! ”

One of them looked a little unhappy and said, "Brother Zhou, what's the matter? Didn't we say this time that we wouldn't get drunk and not go home?"

The other person glanced at Xiong Qiang, remembered the man surnamed Tang who had just left, and seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "Brother Chen! What Brother Zhou said is good, let's drink it again next time!"

After speaking, the man surnamed Zhou and the man surnamed Ye both got up and went downstairs.

The scene of several people leaving, naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the mysterious man, but he did not move at the moment, just quietly drank slowly. Looks like it's nothing to do with yourself......

As these people guessed, this mysterious man is Xiong Qiang, since Xiaohe County settled Li Shanshan, he is coming to Jining, because Jining is the only way to go to Wumeng Valley, he must first go to Wumeng Valley for Han Qiuyu to retrieve the secret prescription, and after repaying Han Qiuyu's great kindness, he can go to Perak Hall with peace of mind and kill He Chong, the hall master of Perak Hall, to avenge his mother's blood revenge.

It's just a battle in Xiaohe County, breaking the seven-star sword formation, defeating Qingming Zhenren, and it was a group of heroes that day, such major news in the martial arts will naturally spread and make him famous, which will inevitably attract the attention of many people. And the reason why he didn't deliberately hide his identity, and only brought a felt hat all the way to Jining, was actually just to lure out Xiaoyaozi.

He and Xiaoyaozi have not seen each other for more than a year, this master-apprentice relationship, it is difficult for him to give up, if he wants to find Xiaoyaozi himself, he can't find it at all, in this case, it is better to let Xiaoyaozi come to him.

Although this kind of undisguised itinerary will cause him some trouble, even if he tries to avoid it, he will still have to face it after all.

In Jining, he only had two troubles, one was the mysterious organization, and the other was the Tang Gate.

He doesn't know much about the mysterious organization, but the more he has contact, the more he can learn about it. As for Tang Men, he must also give them an answer before going to kill He Chong, so as not to be intervened by Tang Men when he killed He Chong, and Tang Men took that opportunity to stab him in the back and make him more troublesome.

Through the black scarf, he raised his glass and watched the pedestrians coming and going in the street, until it was not long before his face, hidden under the veil, finally changed slightly, but soon calmed down again.

Perhaps, this time it is time to face the Tang Sect, since Wudang can give him half a year, then the Tang Sect, he must also fight for this half a year.

Following his gaze, I saw that on the street, the crowd was in chaos, and a group of people hurried in anger, and the one who walked in the forefront was a beautiful woman who was twenty years old and like a fairy in the Rui Palace.

Dressed in a goose-yellow gauze robe, with a pretty face full of anger, and a slender sword in his hand, surrounded by a large group of people, some brutally rushed into the crowd.

Tang Bao'er, that is the future helmsman of the Tang Sect, is Tang Yu's sister.

Behind her, there were naturally some disciples of the Tang Sect, about a dozen people, and among them, Xiong Qiang saw the man surnamed Tang who was still drinking next to him.
