The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Changqing rushed to the door of Zhangfu early, only to find that it was only the back door of Zhangfu that came last night, and rushed to the front door, and found that there was a large area of black pressure, there were more than 2,000 people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, a mighty man in the Zhangfu came out, saw so many people, urged the internal force, and shouted: "Relatives and friends from all walks of life, heroes and heroes, today is the day when our Zhangfu holds the 'Ice and Snow Water Cold' Conference. You are all famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to be crowded, no matter how early or late you come in, you can see the four peerless swords!"

Having said that, everyone was still crowded, for fear that they would come in late, and they couldn't see the appearance of the sword clearly from a distance, and as soon as the door of the house opened, everyone swarmed in. Liu Changqing saw a person leading the people behind him to the side wall, and said, "Let's jump in!" Looking at it, it was the person who said a few days ago that the government had come and deceived the two groups of people to stop fighting.

It doesn't matter if he takes the lead, after the people behind saw it, they also learned and jumped into the wall, and Liu Changqing also jumped in.

Entering the Zhangfu, I saw that the courtyard was smaller than the backyard, but the rare and exotic grasses, countless, and I don't know how much it was trampled on, and then went forward, only to see that there were four steps, the steps were more than 20 floors high, and the two sides of the steps were built with retaining walls, and there were special people guarding it, so that everyone only went in a row by row, and the eyes were sharp, and they had already rushed forward. Based on this retaining wall alone, it can also be seen that Zhang Yongren is quite prepared.

Everyone went up the steps one after another, and suddenly opened up in front of them, it turned out that above the steps, there was a wide flat land, obviously just built, and a platform of more than 20 zhang long was built in the middle, and there were rows of benches around the platform distributed in four directions, east and west, north and south, and the benches in each direction were connected from beginning to end, not to mention two thousand people, that is, two thousand more people, that was also squeezed.

Liu Changqing found a place to sit down, and saw that the bench was embedded in the ground and could not be moved, his eyes kept looking for Shu Du and the others, of course, it was also to find Shen Fangjian.

It only took half an hour for everyone to sit down. I saw a person from Zhangfu on the stage, clasped his fists with both hands, looked around the four seats, and said loudly: "It is our honor for all the heroes to come to my Jiangling Zhangfu." Where the house is not well prepared, please also invite all the good men Haihan. Everyone came to Zhangfu today to see the true face of the Molten Ice Sword, the Fine Snow Sword, the Water Stopping Sword and the Lihan Sword. In this case, please do not move around or stand up at will, if it affects others, then you have to ask this person to leave. ”

After that, sixteen men with swords walked up to the stage, all fierce and ugly in appearance, and stood in four corners, which meant that if anyone did not respect the rules, these people would throw him out.

The man said: "You heroes also know that these four peerless swords were collected by my Zhangfu at a very high price, and some people have bad intentions and blend in with the heroes. With that, I saw two hundred samurai dressed in ordinary clothes walking out of the inner hall and surrounding the flat ground, all holding long swords, solemn.

As soon as everyone sat down, Zhang Fu sent people to guard the four main roads, and they were all unhappy. However, there are many people here, and the four swords are famous, if it weren't for this arrangement, I'm afraid it would only be messed up, and I was still considerate in my heart.

After a while, the sound of firecrackers was loud, and a man with a white beard walked on the stage, and this person was also vigorous and jumped on the stage. From the perspective of everyone, although this person is old, he looks old, energetic, and amiable, and he is Zhang Yongren, the richest man in Jiangling City.

Zhang Yongren stood on the stage and hugged his fists to everyone, the audience applauded thunderously, and before he could speak, one person shouted: "Old man Zhang, we will celebrate your birthday, you should take out the sword and show it to everyone!" followed by a group of people who made a commotion, and said: "That's it, that's it, everyone is here to see the sword." ”

Zhang Yongren was not annoyed, and said loudly: "Heroes, please listen to me." There was silence in the audience. Zhang Yongren smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to the love of all the heroes, I am really grateful to be a guest in my house." Today is my Zhang Yongren's 60th birthday, and everyone knows it. ”

After a pause, he glanced at the people under the platform, and said: "I have been in business all my life, but since I was young, I had an idea that was not worth talking about - that is, to be able to collect the world's swords. Finally, a few months ago, someone in my chapter got the Molten Ice Sword, the Fine Snow Sword, the Water Stopping Sword, and the Away Cold Sword. ”

Someone in the audience asked, "Old Man Zhang, how much did you spend to buy the water-stopping sword?"

Zhang Yongren laughed and said, "Little brother, what you said is wrong. The man asked, "How?"

Zhang Yongren said: "The name of this sword, some juniors don't know, but when I was young, the name of these four swords was extraordinary. Only these four swords, all of them are unique, and if you measure this sword with silver taels, won't it ruin the reputation of the sword?"

Zhang Yongren said: "You are from all over the world, Zhang can not receive them one by one, I am deeply ashamed, please drink a cup of tea for the time being, I will make someone present the sword, so that you can see the style of the sword." ”

Zhang Yongren went straight to the topic, and the audience applauded again, and some people blew their whistles. Dozens of graceful women came from all sides, each holding tea in their hands, walked into their seats and handed them to everyone.

Everyone saw that although these women were not peerless, they had exquisite eyes and a variety of amorous, and the woman handed over the tea and smiled gently. Many heroes watched intently, and some even pinched these women's thighs, but they were not angry, but still greeted each other with smiling faces. After a round of tea was distributed, some beautiful women came closely behind and handed it to those who had not drunk the tea.

A woman walked up to Liu Changqing and said with a soft smile: "Hero, please use tea." Liu Changqing was about to drink, and said in his heart: "When I enter this chapter, I must not drink a sip of tea or a mouthful of food, otherwise I will be on the road." Smiled: "I don't drink tea, you can take it." The woman smiled and said, "Son, I'll sit on the boss for a while, aren't you thirsty?" Liu Changqing said: "I'm not thirsty, put it aside for the time being, I'll naturally drink it when I'm thirsty later." The woman nodded slightly.

While everyone was drinking tea and water, they saw four women holding four trays with red cloths on them, standing on the stage. Zhang Yongren pointed to the tray with his finger and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, these are the four swords of ice, snow, water and cold." ”

Many people couldn't see it, so they stood up, swayed from side to side, and when they saw this, the surrounding samurai rushed to them and asked them to sit down. Zhang Yongren said: "Heroes, don't worry, everyone can see this sword." Heroes should not disturb others and sit in peace. ”

A man with a pockmarked face still didn't sit down, and said loudly: "Old man, quickly lift the red cloth, let us see the appearance of the sword, why cover it up like this?" Before Zhang Yongren could say anything, two warriors suddenly rushed to the man's side, grabbed his left and right shoulders, lifted him up, and threw it out, the man shouted: "I came to see the sword, why did you drive me out?"

Zhang Yongren didn't speak, so that everyone was much more settled, Zhang Yongren said: "I, Zhang Yongren, have always said that one is one, I have already said, everyone is sitting, everyone can see the sword, if everyone is so unruly, wouldn't it delay everyone's time?"

Zhang Yongren waved his hand to everyone and said loudly: "It's true that I, Zhang, collected this sword, but I don't know how to do kung fu at all, and I really made everyone laugh." Today, I hold this ice and snow water cold conference, in addition to showing you the true face of this sword, there is one more thing, and that is to give the sword to the four of you!"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience couldn't believe their ears, this Zhang Yongren worked hard and worked hard to get four swords for decades, how could he give them to others? Before everyone could react, Zhang Yongren said: "It's not so much one thing, but four things-" Clapped his palms twice, and saw four gorgeously dressed young women on the stage, although it was a cold winter at this time, but the four women wore dresses fluttering, very thin, four people wore red, purple, blue, and white four-color long skirts, except for the color, they all looked the same.

The four women stood on the stage, and they really looked like they were sinking fish and geese, and everyone was amazed. Zhang Yongren said: "The heroes only know that someone in my chapter has four swords, but they don't know that someone in my chapter has four daughters who have never married. Today, all the heroes are coming, if anyone is good at swordsmanship, then in addition to giving away the sword, someone in my chapter will marry my daughter to this hero, can you still talk about the past?"

This chapter Yongren married a total of sixteen concubines, most of the children born are married, only the four youngest are not married, this ice and snow water cold conference in addition to making the heroes of the rivers and lakes to celebrate their birthdays and watch the sword, in fact, because he admired and worshiped the martial arts people all his life, and intended to marry the four daughters to the heroes of the martial arts. It's just that in the name of the ice and snow water cold conference, a family meeting will be held.

This time, the people in the audience couldn't help it anymore, the women were just gone, and the men's faces were all shining, which was even more exciting and exciting than the appearance of the sword just now. Someone said: "I have already been married, if my swordsmanship is excellent, does Old Man Zhang want to give me his daughter as a concubine?" One person said: "Your swordsmanship is excellent? You want to fight for the sword? Don't even think about it, I have to marry one of these four little beauties who are like flowers and jade." The implication is that he must get a sword.

Another person said: "That's not good, how can Old Man Zhang's daughter be a concubine? I am not yet married, and I promise that after I get married, I will never marry another woman." "Anything was said in a moment.

Liu Changqing was surprised in his heart: "What does this mean? Zhang Yongren wants to give away the sword and marry his daughter to someone else, it must not be fake, but why did the medicine let Meng Langzhong make pills? The people who came to watch the sword were all over the place, there were eighty-year-old men and underage children, could it be true that Zhang Yongren wanted to marry his daughter?"

Zhang Yongren said: "I don't talk big, even if you are a bad old man-" said and stroked his beard, "Even if you are a little older than me, as long as you are skilled in swordsmanship and can win the sword, I will marry my daughter to you as a wife." There is only one requirement, that is, to be under the door of my Zhangfu. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be a son-in-law, and the boss was unwilling, Zhang Yongren said: "If you can't do this, then you don't have to compete." ”

An impatient humane: "Okay! That's it, let's talk about how to compare? Is it going to be alone? Or is it one against one?"

Liu Changqing suddenly remembered: "This chapter Yongren is only afraid that he wants to let the heroes of the rivers and lakes compete for the four swords, kill each other, and cause a storm in the rivers and lakes." Hmph, this plan to kill people with a knife is really vicious. But why would he do it?"

Zhang Yongren said: "Haha, there are more than 2,000 people who came to our mansion today, and those who are fighting for the sword are afraid that there are not 1,000, but 800." Isn't it better to compare one by one to next year?"

The anxious man said, "According to you, what should I do?"

Zhang Yongren said: "Since the heroes have come here, I will definitely entertain someone, if there is a reluctance to compete, please go with the family to drink and eat, there is a casino in this house, if you like to gamble, you can play by yourself, if you win, it is yours, and if you lose, you will return it when you leave." If you feel that your martial arts are passable, and you want to compete in martial arts to win the sword—of course, not just the sword, if you win the sword, you will marry my daughter—I will take you to the backyard later. ”

One person shouted: "Old man Zhang, take out the sword first for us to see." ”

Zhang Yongren said: "That's exactly what I mean!" As soon as the eyes were colored, the daughter in red nodded, turned over the red cloth on a sword, held the sword respectfully with both hands, everyone stretched their necks, Liu Changqing looked, and saw that the scabbard was as black as carbon all over the body, but the color was deeper, and it was not clear from a distance, the woman in red slowly pulled out the sword, Liu Changqing was far away, and also heard the sound of the sword out of the sheath, but it was crisp in the ears, as if a person was standing in a cave with a sword, and there was no ventilation on all sides, but the sound of the sword out of the sheath echoed endlessly.

As soon as the sword came out of its sheath, the woman in red said softly, "This is the Molten Ice Sword." ”

Although the scabbard is black and shiny, the sword body is crystal clear, the blade is like autumn frost, the woman in red wields the molten ice sword, looking from a distance, it looks like a belt on his body, the wind is like a knife, but the sword is even sharper. After dancing for a while, I saw four servants carrying a large stone to the stage. The woman in red smiled slightly, and shouted "Ahh

When the people saw that the sword did not need to be slashed, but only fell from the sky, and had no power at all, and could be inserted into the boulder, they were speechless in astonishment. Liu Changqing was taken aback, and said in his heart: "My master's Qingquan Sword can only cut the stones with force, but it can't be like this. If you use internal force to force forward, you are only afraid that the sword body has been broken. ”

The audience immediately burst into applause, and everyone was full of praise, some said that the sword was sharp, and some said that the woman in red danced beautifully. "If you can get a sword and a beautiful woman, then it is really the favor of God, and it is beyond measure.

The audience continued to shout, and the woman in red gently pulled out the molten ice sword, put it in its scabbard, and stepped back.

Immediately after that, the woman in purple appeared, took out a sword, and said, "This is the fine snow sword." The appearance of the fine snow sword looks no different from an ordinary sword, the woman in purple pulled out the sword, everyone was shocked, and saw that the sword was covered in blood red and transparent, as if it had been splashed with red paint, and the blade was more than twice as long as the molten ice sword, and the handle was like a pair of eagle wings open and waving, which was very weird.

The woman in purple waved it, and everyone shouted loudly, only to see a red light, or from top to bottom, or from left to right, it looked extremely dazzling in the daytime, and the light shone in all directions, and everyone's eyes seemed to be unable to open, as if the fine snow sword was swinging towards themselves.

After the woman in red finished dancing the sword, she saw the big stone on the stage, walked over gently, held the hilt of the sword upside down, and drew a few times around the big stone, only to see that the slightly round boulder was flat on all sides, and it turned out to be gently cut off by this fine snow sword, its surface was smooth as silk, and the light seemed to be slowly smoothed out, who would have thought that it was just a few strokes of the fine snow sword?

Liu Changqing said: "This fine snow sword is sharper than the molten ice sword, the molten ice sword only enters the stone body, this fine snow sword not only enters, but also cuts off a few pieces of the stone, but the precious thing is that this woman in purple did not use any strength, it is really sharp." My master's sword, if it is a person with extremely strong internal strength, if he slashes it hard, it may be like this. ”

Suddenly, a person behind him said softly: "I don't like this sword, it's not good-looking at all, what kind of fine snow sword, I'm afraid it's a 'blood-sucking sword', right? Otherwise, how can it be blood-red?" Liu Changqing's body was shocked, and his face seemed to be as red as the fine snow sword, and he said in his heart: "This voice is as crisp and delicate as a silver bell, that is the girl in the Anping Inn." The girl was sitting behind her, and she didn't pay attention until she heard her speak at this time, and then she thought: "I don't know where Mr. Shu and Mr. Du are sitting?"

Then the third woman in blue stepped forward, took out another sword, showed it to everyone, and said, "This sword is the famous sword of stopping water!"

The woman in blue fiddled with her body, pulled out the scabbard of the water-stopping sword, and said, "Look carefully!" The water-stopping sword has a white body and looks much more comfortable, which is diametrically opposed to the fine snow sword. If the fine snow sword gives people a gloomy and ruthless, cunning and evil feeling, then when you see the water-stopping sword, you feel that your temperament is ethereal, true and good.

The woman in blue danced her sword, which was much better than the previous two, and everyone praised it endlessly. The woman in blue walked to the boulder, inserted the sword into the boulder, tilted the sword, slowly turned the hilt, and after a while, pulled out the water-stopping sword, and the two servants came to the stage and lifted the boulder, only to see that a round hole had been cut by the sword in the middle of the boulder, and a cobblestone fell to the ground.

Next is the woman in white appeared, needless to say, the remaining sword is the sword of Lihan, the woman in white lifted the red cloth, but did not speak, turned back, danced, everyone was stunned: "Is this woman in white crazy?

After a long while, the woman in white stopped, and one of them suddenly shouted, "She has a sword in her hand!"

Liu Changqing looked intently, only to see that the woman in white raised her hand high, and then she saw clearly that the Lihan Sword was actually clear and crystalline, pure and flawless, as if there was nothing. The person who forged the sword was extremely scheming, and he didn't know what to use to smear the sword body, but he actually smeared the sword body transparently, and this woman was dressed in white, if she didn't look closely, she wouldn't have noticed that there was a transparent sword in her hand!

I saw the woman in white holding the sword in front of her chest, and the two servants took the round stone that had just been cut and pounced on the woman in white, the woman in white did not move at all, and the round stone passed through the sword and was cut in half.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they woke up and applauded.

After the four women finished dancing the sword, they put away the swords and slowly left the field. Everyone couldn't hold back and asked, "Old Man Zhang, when will you compare swords?" and some pompous people shouted: "Father-in-law, let's start quickly! Son-in-law, I can't wait!"

Zhang Yongren said loudly: "The matter of the sword competition, I am not busy for a while. Please go to the inner hall to rest and drink first, eat a full meal, and then compete with the sword to have strength. ”

There were a number of banquets in the inner hall, which were obviously prepared. There are four inner halls, each of which can accommodate several hundred people. The servants came and arranged for the two thousand men to be divided into four groups. Liu Changqing found a table and sat down, it was to wait and see, and he would rather die than eat.

As soon as the banquet began, everyone was very lively, discussing which of the four swords was sharper. Many people came to celebrate Mr. Zhang's birthday and wine, and Zhang Yongren only took a small sip each time.

Liu Changqing only stared at Zhang Yongren secretly, and suddenly a person came over and said, "Daddy!"

This person is the son of Zhang Yongren's main room, named Zhang Jiangsheng, a man in his early thirties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. The hall was so noisy that Liu Changqing couldn't hear what they were saying.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiangsheng's face changed suddenly and he fell to his knees. Everyone looked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yongren shook his head fiercely and said loudly: "Someone! ”

Someone recognized this person as Zhang Yongren's son, and he didn't understand what he meant, so he came over to persuade him. Suddenly, Zhang Jiang said: "Heroes, don't drink and eat vegetables! There is ******** in this meal!"

This time, even Liu Changqing was shocked, he knew that Zhang Yongren asked Meng Langzhong to make pills, and nine times out of ten they wanted to poison everyone, and before he could find out the reason, he was exposed by his own son at this time, and Zhang Fu had an internal strife, which was unexpected.

Zhang Yongren's face turned pale, and he said, "You wolf-hearted thing......

One person rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Jiangsheng, and asked, "What poison?

Zhang Yongren made a look, the warrior next to him was about to come to kill Zhang Jiangsheng, where did everyone rely on him to do nonsense at this time?

When the other people heard about it, they ran over one after another, and when they heard the explanation that there was poison in the meal, they were dumbfounded and didn't know why.

Zhang Yongren suddenly laughed twice and said, "I just want to kill you, kill all of you!"
