Chapter 114: Force
"Ten years of sharpening a sword, the blade has not been wiped, today to show the king, but there is injustice" is a chivalry, if after the injustice clearly marked the price with silver two speaks, it is a killer.
There are many killers on the rivers and lakes, some part-time and some professional. With a mask, an outfit, and a few moves, you have changed your identity, and you can start your part-time career with confidence.
Killers and prostitutes are somewhat similar in that both are for the silver and both are for the sake of killing. Liu Jian couldn't help but have some ideas in his heart, but the ideas were not yet mature, and there was no clear outline of what he wanted to do at this time.
After returning to the inn where they had made an appointment, the two girls waited in their respective rooms, Liu Jian looked at the pretty face of Butterfly Dance who was close at hand, and suddenly felt that he was too cruel to put her in a cage.
"Butterfly Dance ......"
"What's wrong?" the sleepy girl shrank into his arms and looked up puzzled, sleepy-eyed.
"What kind of day do you like? Do you spend all day in the rivers and lakes, running around, or living quietly in the market, or finding a quiet town to make tea and drink every day......
"Well," Butterfly replied noncommittally, whispering, "stay by your side." β
Liu Jian was inexplicably touched in his heart, but he couldn't help but chuckle. I can't get enough of the fireworks on the brocade, so how can I have some thoughts of retreating? I think that because I have been killing more people recently, I am familiar with this river and lake, and I know that people's hearts are sinister; when I understand this martial arts, I will know the clouds of the past.
Sleep, and talk about it tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I washed my face and tied up my long hair under the service of Butterfly Dance. I saw a carrier pigeon flying outside the window. I don't know how Baihualou did it. The carrier pigeon accurately found Liu Jian's position. Brought a thin bamboo tube. There is a small piece of paper in the bamboo tube, on which are written Juanxiu small characters.
"The prisoner was detained in Xin'an County and forcibly entered the army. If you want to find him, you can go to Xin'an Fengjiao Villa. β
Liu Jian couldn't help frowning, but the three words 'strong into the redundant' made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, this question seemed to be a bit serious.
"Let's go and see if Jia Yao is up, let's go to Fengjiao Villa...... Don't be in a hurry to go back to the teacher's door. β
"Hmm. I'm not in a hurry. Butterfly combed her long silky hair, pulled out the phoenix tail, and put on a veil. "What are you going to do at Fengjiao Villa? It's a nearby mountain villa, I've heard my sister tell you. β
Liu Jian couldn't help but smile, rubbed the note in his hand, and calmly said three words: "Drink happy wine." β
On the pipeline from south to north, two women and one man galloping on horseback, the sword in their hands shows their identity as martial arts people, and the horses under them show that they are wealthy. Jianghu people pay attention to happiness, and few people can buy the sweat and blood horses of the Western Regions. There are also few people who can afford to wear a brocade dress.
"Phewβ"
Liu Jian dismounted slowly at the gate of the city, because he was hungry for Xin'an County as an important town here. There are officers and soldiers guarding the door to investigate. Turning his head and saying to the two women: "You don't have to come down, I'll go here and ask, Fengjiao Mountain Villa should be outside the city." β
"Yes, Winhorn Villa is just outside the city. Someone on the side suddenly answered, and Liu Jian looked up and saw a man with a sword on his back riding a thin brown horse coming slowly. This person was about to go out of the city, and shouted at Liu Jian: "This brother Tai also asks for a wedding wine? Why don't you go with Li, I know the road." β
Liu Jian was slightly stunned, and then nodded in agreement: "In this way, it's annoying." β
Turning over on his horse, he was depressed to find that he was going to turn back. The swordsman surnamed Li glanced at Diewu and Jiayao, and then talked to Liu Jian without squinting, after all, the two women wore scarves on their faces, and they couldn't see why, and this person talked quite boldly, probably because he was afraid of the Jianghu regulations of 'friends and wives cannot be bullied'.
His lean horse was slow on his feet, and seemed to have no strength to run, so he could only walk slowly. And Liu Jian saw that his clothes were neat but not bright, and there were patches on his step boots, which was obviously not very satisfactory.
In the conversation, he knew that this person's surname was Li Shui Si, and he was short of water in the five elements, so he gave him such a name. In his early years, he studied swordsmanship and martial arts in a little-known sect for a few years, and then went south and north to see a lot of rivers, lakes and seas.
This person is quite moderate, open-minded by nature, and is an optimist, occasionally self-deprecating, and with a righteous and upright atmosphere, Liu Jian naturally got closer in his heart.
"Brother Li has ever been married. β
"Alas, Li is ashamed, and he is not allowed to have a wife and concubine in the year of his establishment. Li Shuisi smiled calmly, "It's fun to live in peace, if you take someone and have to work hard for a day's rations, it's really tiresome." β
"Haha, what Brother Li said is right, but my brother can't be as free and easy as you. Liu Jian smiled, looked at the two girls who were laughing and whispering behind him, and said softly: "If there is a confidant to accompany you in life, and then a red face to accompany you, you should have no regrets." β
"Looking at your clothes and accessories, you know that your family is superior, and it is not just the suffering of those of us in the rivers and lakes. Li Shuisi sighed, and then his spirit was shocked, "Don't say these frustrating words again, I have decided to fight for this for the rest of my life." β
"Has Brother Li ever punished a great evildoer?"
"Ahem, I'm ashamed to say that I'm not good at martial arts, and I don't fight with people on weekdays. β
As he spoke, more than a dozen riders passed over the four of them. Li Shuisi sat down and ran unconvinced, and after running for about three or four feet, he continued to pant and began to walk slowly. Li Shuisi was slightly embarrassed, while Liu Jian smiled and said nothing.
Turning around a forest, there are several people from the rivers and lakes passing by, and there is a gate house in front of them, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.
Look at the sky, this will be the time for the newlyweds to get married, listening to the noise in the village, Liu Jian suddenly became interested.
There are countless women beside him, but he has never seen the wedding at this time, and this time he also touched the light of the apprentice, and went in to enjoy it or two.
"Brother Li, it's too late today. Come in!"
A middle-aged man who was guarding the door to welcome the guests was happy, and he didn't know Liu Jian and the others at a glance, and his clothes and mounts were also very different from Li Shuisi, so he shouldn't have come all the way. Seeing that the young man was handsome and chic, and the two women were holding swords in their hands, they said: "Three young heroes, there is a wedding banquet in the village today, I don't know if I can enjoy my face and join in the fun." β
"Congratulations, this time I came to congratulate the newcomers, and by the way, I asked for a glass of water and wine. Liu Jian smiled and hugged his fists, and when the three of them got off the horse, someone came to take the horses away, Liu Jian told his name, and then took Diewu Jiayao and followed Li Shuisi into the manor.
Looking at the dozens of large tables placed in front of the manor, as well as the almost full of guests on the tables, Liu Jian nodded and smiled: "The construction here is also magnificent, and there are so many guests, it seems that Fengjiao Villa also has some status in the rivers and lakes." β
Li Shuisi smiled but did not speak, and led the three of them to find a remote corner to sit down, and a maid brought tea to serve. Not long after, a table of wine was placed on the table for four people, but there were no chopsticks. Liu Jian was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what he meant, and Li Shuisi explained on the side:
"The newlyweds don't salute, the guests can't eat, I count the hours, I can't wait......"
The words were not finished, while listening to the three gongs and drums, the firecrackers rang out in unison, many guests got up and laughed, and Liu Jian couldn't help but stand on the round bench and look around. Butterfly Dance and Jia Yao ran to the front hand in hand to watch the excitement.
With a red robe, red hydrangea, and a red hijab, a couple of newlyweds walked in in a cluster, but the groom's face was unwilling, and his hands were tied to the red hydrangea, and he was pushed forward by two men.
Liu Jian suddenly laughed, seeing that the groom had turned into some powder, he could naturally recognize that it was his second disciple, and he gave him the poet Li Mo who was 'chivalrous'. Some time ago, I asked him to come to Taihu Lake to look for butterflies, but I didn't expect to end up looking for him, but it seems that this kid is very moist, and the bride is graceful with a red hijab, and her face should not be too bad......
"Alas," Li Shuisi sighed, took a glass of wine and drank it all, and didn't go to join in the excitement over there.
Liu Jian was puzzled and jumped down on the round bench, "Why is Brother Li sighing?"
"That Miss Feng is virtuous by nature, and she has a sense of being a lady, but why do you want to do such a strong relationship. β
"What does the bride look like, and what is her character?"
"She is the first beauty in Xin'an County, brother, what do you think? Character is naturally innocent and pure, but it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Liu Jian couldn't help nodding, his apprentice also picked up a beautiful apprentice for nothing, not bad...... (To be continued......)
