Chapter 2: Preparing for the First Battle
There will be a duel tomorrow, and it will be an extremely unpeaceful day for Songshan Manor.
Early that morning, Songshan Manor had already kicked off the prelude to the duel the next day, and as soon as the day dawned, Tu Dafa, a coffin maker from Lujiang, transported a coffin with good wood to Songshan Manor.
Everyone didn't know what they meant, and they even felt confused and panicked.
Wu Shuang told them: "If a person wants to do something, determination is very important, if he is not even afraid of death, what else in the world can he not do?"
After listening to the owner's words, everyone suddenly realized, and as a result, people also admired the owner's courage and heroism.
"This is the best gift our owner gave to the 'Divine Fist' Wang Biao!" said, the housekeeper Zhang Wei pointed to the coffin. Everyone in the room laughed, and everyone thought it was humorous.
Wu Shuang has indeed been very busy in the past few days, and he doesn't even have time to look at the sword.
Because, in the past few days, heroes from all walks of life have come to post one after another, and as the host, he will inevitably receive them one by one.
Among them, there are many celebrities in the rivers and lakes, such as Deng Tianyuan, the "Iron Whip Howling Hebei", Li Yuedong, the Cangzhou Throat Gun, Xiong Kuan, the Iron Palm Gai Jiangxi, Jin Guangyuan, the Shuangjian of Hengshan, and Huyan Wujiang, the lord of Taiyuan City.
In addition, he carefully examined the affairs that had been carefully arranged by the three chief stewards over the past few days, and he was very satisfied, that everything had been prepared as scheduled: the tables and chairs on the viewing platform had been arranged in good order, and they were covered with noble yellow satin, and looked solemn. Even the visitor's tea set is made of exquisite Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, and the color and pattern are exactly the same.
Not only that, the layout of the atmosphere inside and outside the Songshan Manor is also generous and decent, fully showing the style and image of the Songshan Manor; wherever there are pillars, the slogan of the duel is pasted, including "Jiangnan Wushuang Sword and Sword See Strange Moves, Songshan Shaozhuang Master Moves to Show His Skills", there are also "Those who are not afraid of coming are like tigers, Jiangnan Sword will greet", and "Heroes will meet tomorrow to meet Kung Fu, and heroes will go to the finals in the ring" and other fascinating couplets and slogans.
At the same time, the branches and eaves of the inside and outside are also lit up, and they are full of joy, as if they are celebrating the New Year......
At this time, Wu Shuang also temporarily assigned a lot of trivial things, so that the family, stewards and Gu Gong of the entire Songshan Manor were very busy.
In addition, because the number of guests exceeded the expected number of guests, he had to temporarily change to a more spacious venue, and he discussed with the three chief managers to change the venue of the competition from the original Xiyuan Garden to the empty flat land between the main gate (south gate) of the manor and the large living room. In this way, there is no need to worry about overcrowding tomorrow due to the large number of characters in the rivers and lakes who come to watch, because the changed martial arts arena can accommodate several times the number of people before.
In such a busy scene, people also noticed a beautiful figure, she was almost inseparable from Wu Shuang, she was Bai Xue, the owner of Fengming Inn.
In the past few days, there have been rumors everywhere in Luoyan City, saying that Wu Shuang, the owner of Songshan Manor, and Bai Xue, the female owner of Fengming Inn, are married. Therefore, it seems understandable that her figure appears in any corner of Songshan Manor. Of course, everywhere she goes, she must be accompanied by Wu Shuang, they seem to be in love, and whoever sees them will think that they are the most romantic couple in the world. It seems that Wu Shuang is a man who can handle women's vanity very well, and he rarely expresses his opinions in her presence, not only that, but he also nodded in agreement with Bai Xue's decision.
In this way, everyone on the side also thought that she was really Wu Shuang's fiancée - her decision was Wu Shuang's decision, and there was no change.
At that time, inside the manor, the owner and the legendary future owner and wife were in full swing with a group of stewards preparing for tomorrow's duel, and all kinds of business outside the manor were also on the scene, and those small merchants and peddlers were choosing an excellent location for their business.
The minds of small traders often have the wit to see the seams.
Because, at that time, the chengguan were not as kind, courteous, thoughtful, and restrained as they are now, they simply ignored it, and no matter how you set up a stall, as long as you don't block the road and rob it, it is understandable and legitimate business.
At the same time, the children on the street are not far behind, and although they don't know what "duel" means, they feel that it will be a great pleasure from the lively talk of the adults. So, they interspersed back and forth between the stalls on the outskirts of the manor, running non-stop, chasing happily, fighting, and muttering, rendering the atmosphere to an incomparably lively level.
At this moment, there was a group of people, about six or seven people, who were not busy setting up stalls, and they were not playing around like children, shuttling back and forth. They are quiet and are constantly watching every move in the manor. Their leader was a black-faced man with a beard, but if one looked closely at him, he would see that the black face of the big man was like the ash of the bottom of the pot, and the color was very uneven, and in some places even showed the primary color of white skin.
In other words, this group of people deliberately put on makeup.
In the world, there are many people who deliberately change their makeup in order to cover up a certain phenomenon, and the result is even more eye-catching, but it accelerates the ruin of their tricks!
-- That's self-defeating.
They were all dressed strangely, wearing fur coats, bell bottoms, fur boots, and mink hats, as if they were herdsmen from the northwest, and their outfits were very different from the clothes of Luoyan City. If it is usual, it will arouse the curiosity of many people, but there are too many people from all kinds of outsiders these days, and people have long been accustomed to it. What's more, people are so busy at this time that they don't have time to pay attention to these weird little things.
Of course, leaning on the back of the courtyard of Wen Youji's house, the horse farm opened by the people of Xichuan, they only found out two days later that the clothes they were drying on the rope were gone!
Suddenly, the black-faced man at the head said, "No, I don't think the time is ripe for tomorrow. ”
"Why is it immature, the two of us have a clear understanding of everything here these days, and we are optimistic about where we will escape after the fact, what else is immature?" said one of them, a very old man.
"Yes, what is immature!" said another old woman, in a tone of vicissitudes, "Yesterday, we were just a little bit away from getting him done with a roasted sweet potato!"
"Isn't the result still seen through by others!" The black-faced man said: "You guys haven't thought about it properly, you might as well think about it! Tomorrow, the masters of Songshan Manor will be like a cloud, and they are all good friends of Wu Shuang, is there any difference between choosing such an opportunity to start and committing suicide?"
Suddenly, several other companions immediately stretched out their thumbs to the big black man and said, "What the master of the village said is extremely ......."
At this moment, Wu Shuang led everyone to the gate, and when these mysterious strangers saw it, they immediately stopped talking, they deliberately lowered their heads, pretending to be casual and swaggered over from the gate.
