9. Asking for your life

The north wind groaned for a while, and walked into the gate of the Soul Hall.

"Starling, are you back?" Hu Kua was the only one in the Suo Ming Hall, and the rest of the people didn't know where to go, Hu Kua saw Xiang Beifeng and said, "I thought you were dead!"

Xiang Beifeng snorted coldly and said, "You want me to die, so that you can climb to the position of the eighth child." "Xiang Beifeng is still very concerned about Hu Kua's death or not to save him, everyone is a brother, Hu Kua actually escaped in danger.

"Where is it, the starling brother laughed, you also know, Xiao Zhihan is very powerful, it is better to die alone than two people, right?" Hu Kua said casually, this was said roughly, but it was also a truth, Xiang Beifeng was speechless, because he pulled Hu Kua to help him get angry.

"Forget it......" Xiang Beifeng turned the conversation away: "It's also my problem, I shouldn't have asked you to go, what about the things you robbed?" Hu Kua was stunned: "What? What is it?" Xiang Beifeng said: "You don't have to pretend to be confused, it's just that basket of pens." ”

Hu Kua laughed: "It turned out to be that thing, I lost it." ”

Xiang Beifeng was taken aback: "Why did you lose it?" Hu Kua: "I thought it was a good thing, but when I grabbed it back, it was just a few broken pens, which were useless, so I threw it away." ”

Xiang Beifeng slapped his head sharply: "Oops!" and then glared at Hu Kua angrily: "You stupid old nine!

Hu Kua looked at Xiang Beifeng in a daze: "Starling, why do you blame me for this? Isn't it just a few pens? How can it kill you? Besides, isn't it just a few pens, just buy it for you." ”

"Why don't you just buy me a few pens? You said it easy! Do you know that because you lost these pens, we are now in a catastrophe!" Xiang Beifeng was furious, and he was very helpless, so he had to speak loudly to release the depression in his heart.

"Eight, what's going on? Two men walked in from outside the house, one with a leisurely demeanor and the appearance of a scholar, and the other with a scar on his face and a rough body.

When Xiang Beifeng saw the two of them, as if he had seen a savior, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, fourth brother, you came just in time, fourth brother, help me find a way!"

The scholar-like man was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

The two people who came were Zhu Tianwei and Zhuge Xu Feng, who were known as the "Top Ten Masters of Suolifetang", who ranked third and fourth.

Zhuge Xu Feng is in the Suoming Hall, his mind is first-class good, and many things are planned by him, so that Suomingtang can exist in Beihai for a long time. Xiang Beifeng knew that Zhuge Xu Feng was resourceful, and when he saw him, it was like seeing a savior, so he said everything about Cheng Quartet bypassing his life, taking himself as a bodyguard, and selling pens in Yecheng.

When Hu Kua heard this, he immediately jumped up: "What? You and Xiao Zhihan got mixed up? How can that be? She is your opponent and our opponent, how can you do such a thing?"

Xiang Beifeng said helplessly: "No way, Boss Cheng has a life around me, I have to repay him for saving his life, otherwise how can I gain a foothold between heaven and earth? Anyway, within a year, our grievances with Xiao Zhihan will be put aside first." Don't say anything else, now hurry up and find a way to get the pen back, don't forget that our Suolifetang is also within Cao Cao's sphere of influence!"

Zhu Tianwei said: "The eighth is right, the grace of saving lives must be repaid. He turned his head and asked Zhuge Xu Feng: "Fourth, do you have any good solutions?"

Zhuge Xu Feng asked: "I'm a little curious, how did you get married to Xiao Zhihan? Xiao Zhihan is known as the number one female swordsman in the world, is it possible that you see that she is born beautifully, and what actions do you have to annoy her?"

Xiang Beifeng hurriedly said: "What's the matter with me? It was Xiao Zhihan who took the initiative to provoke, saying that we are the top ten masters of the Suo Life Hall, if you want to challenge us or something, and then you can't help but sneak attack me, I almost lost my life!"

Zhuge Xu Feng heard this, and his face was displeased: "I heard that when the swordsman practiced to the extreme, in order to make progress, he looked for people everywhere to challenge and learn, but Xiao Zhihan actually wanted to take people's lives, which was too much." After a pause, he said: "But since the eighth child has a one-year appointment with her, then we will go to her to settle accounts in a year." ”

Xiang Beifeng hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't talk about this yet, quickly find a way to get the pen back." ”

Zhuge Xu Feng had already made up his mind, and said: "This is not simple? The pen that Lao Jiu grabbed will definitely not be able to be recovered, and the best way now is to buy it again." Xiang Beifeng said: "It's too late! We only have five days." ”

Zhuge Xu Feng smiled: "Two days is enough." So he said to Hu Kua: "Lao Jiu, prepare the boat." Hu Kua answered, and ran out of the house. Zhuge Xu Feng said: "You take the land route, five days is naturally not enough, now we are on the waterway, plus now the north wind is tight, we go down the river, and then go ashore and move quickly, within half a day, we will reach Pingxian." Due to headwinds and currents on the return trip, it takes a day and a half to arrive. ”

Xiang Beifeng patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think of taking the waterway? Thank you, Fourth Brother!" After that, he quickly went to the dock.

Although Suomingtang does not have a good reputation, but the efficiency is very high, Hu Kua arranged to get off the boat, down the river to the north wind, and sure enough, as Zhuge Xu Feng said, he arrived in Pingxian in half a day. Xiang Beifeng brought some silver money in Suoming Hall, bought a pen and returned, and it took two days, not bad at all.

Back at the Suo Ming Hall, the top ten masters have all returned. Sitting in the first place is the head of the top ten masters, named Zhou Chonghan, who was born with a tiger-faced dragon and might, majestic, and a set of "broken mountains and open rivers palms" that are indestructible; who is fiddling with chess pieces is the second of the top ten masters, named Wang Wuji, who was born handsome and dashing, and has a "muscle-destroying stick" in one hand to make the furnace perfect; there are two people who gamble money, and the one who wins the money is five of the top ten masters, named Yang Ji, who is born shrewdly and orderly, and a set of "hurricane legs" can travel thousands of miles; the person who loses money is six of the ten masters, named Tong Buxing, who was born thin and small, and has one hand to "fall rain thorns." On the side of the steel knife is seven of the top ten masters, named Zhao Xunyang, born strong, a set of "Tianqing knife", when the god kills the god. Coupled with Zhu Tianwei, the third of the top ten masters, and Zhuge Xu Feng, the "finishing touch" of the fourth of the top ten masters, Xiang Beifeng and Hu Kua, are all members of the top ten masters.

The eldest ten of the top ten masters passed away many years ago, and the nine people are still collectively known as the top ten masters. As for the rest of the members of the Soul Hall, they are shrimp small.

Seeing Xiang Beifeng coming back, Zhou Chonghan said: "Eighth child, are you done?" Xiang Beifeng has always respected Zhou Chonghan, bowed, and said, "It's done, thanks to the fourth brother." Zhou Chonghan said: "It's done, our top ten masters will go to Yecheng together and ask Xiao Zhihan for an explanation!" Hu Kua and Yang Ji responded in unison: "That's right!

Xiang Beifeng was stunned: "No! I have made an agreement with Xiao Zhihan that all grievances and grievances will be put aside for the time being within a year, and the eldest brother should not embarrass his brother." ”

Wang Wuqi said: "Old eight, it's not that we want to embarrass you, it's that you can't act with your brain, think about it, Xiao Zhihan wants to kill you inexplicably, and you are inexplicably mixed with Xiao Zhihan, friends on the rivers and lakes don't know, and they think that our Suolifetang is afraid of Xiao Zhihan, which makes us Suolifetang how to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?"

"This ......" to the northerly wind was speechless.

Zhuge Xu Feng said: "Don't worry, Lao Ba, we are just going to ask for an explanation, after all, Cheng Sifang is a lifesaver for you, and you also agreed to be his bodyguard for a year, if you break your promise, we will not be able to mix in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xiang Beifeng knew that all the brothers meant this, and he was not easy to obstruct him, so he had to respond: "Okay, but you must not use force." So the "Top Ten Masters of Suo Ming Hall" all set out and headed for Yecheng.

Yecheng, in a teahouse, Cheng Quartet and Xiao Zhihan are waiting for the return of the northerly wind. Xiao Zhihan hurriedly said: "Boss, it's been two days, and there has been no movement at all in the north wind, he must have run away!" Cheng Sifang shook his head: "No, Lao Xiang is faithful, and it will definitely not be like you said." Xiao Zhihan said: "But it's been two days!" Cheng Sifang took a sip of tea and said, "Don't be impatient, let's wait for Lao Xiang to come back." ”

Xiao Zhihan stopped talking, in fact, Xiao Zhihan knew that Xiang Beifeng was a good man, but he had a holiday with Xiang Beifeng, and he barely got together, all because of the Quartet. Now that it is out of all directions, it is difficult to guarantee that the northerly wind will not smear oil under the soles of your feet and slip away.

When Xiao Zhihan was in a hurry, he heard a voice from the corner of the teahouse: "Shopkeeper, how can you give me this kind of defective product? Can't I drink your good tea at the price I gave?" Cheng Sifang and Xiao Zhihan's attention were attracted, and they saw a fat man sitting in the corner, because of obesity, the stool that could have sat for two people was finished by him alone.

I saw the shopkeeper rushing over with a smiling face: "Guest officer, this is already the best tea in the shop." ”

"Nonsense!" the fat man slapped the table, stood up, picked up a small dish of tea leaves, put it in a pot, soaked it in boiling water, then poured it out, soaked it again and poured it again, repeated three times, and got a pot of cool tea soup, which was served in the tea bowl, and a fragrant fragrance came to his nose.

"After three brews, the tea is fragrant, dew but not hidden, where is this hundred-year-old tea should have restraint?" The fat man said with a look of understanding: "Look at this tea again, it is disorderly, there is still an aftertaste after three bubbles, where can the aroma of the hundred-year-old tea be restrained by the three bubbles? You are clearly using tea that is only a few years old to pretend to be a century-old tea, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me!"

The shopkeeper's face was pale, and Cheng Sifang smiled, and said softly: "He was said by the fat man to be a sore spot." Xiao Zhihan was stunned: "That fat man knows tea so well?" Cheng Quartet said: "The shopkeeper is going to drive people out." ”

As expected, the shopkeeper said in a loud voice: "You fat man is talking nonsense! I am clearly a hundred-year-old teahouse, how can I be shoddy? Who in Yecheng does not know that my family is the most trustworthy? I am not afraid if you want to dismantle the stage, the money will be returned to you, and I will give you this pot of tea to drink!" So he pushed and pushed the fat man out of the teahouse, and the fat man was pushed and shouted: "You profiteer! Shoddy, shoddy!" Finally, his voice could not be heard.

Cheng Sifang smiled at Xiao Zhihan and said, "Let's go meet this fat man." ”
