This is a letter from the old man of Lin'an, and everyone is discussing the letter in the big tent.

Gong Ming ran into the tent and said hurriedly: "General Hui, the magistrate came to report this morning, saying that an unknown corpse was found outside the camp, and it was suspected to be a sergeant." The last general checked for this and found that four sergeants had been missing in the Chinese army camp in the past few days, and one of them was a soldier of the big horde, that is, the soldier sent by the magistrate. The subordinates also heard that the sergeant on duty reported that there was often a man carrying a box around the two camps, and his appearance was suspicious. ”

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, patted the table after a moment of contemplation, and said with a smile: "It's Zhang Danfeng! I've only been back for a few days, and I've come to the door, so fast, I really don't break my promise, I'm a man." This time, I'm going to see what he's really capable of. ”

Ren Tianqi glanced at the red Wen Tingyu and said with a smile: "General Zhong, the first sword in the world is here on the day you want to see, let me wait to meet this person, and see the skills of the world's number one killer!"

A little red smiled coldly.

Ren Tianqi then issued an order and said: "Okay, from now on, all generals need to stay in the barracks at night, be careful and be on guard, and prepare to capture the world's first sword Zhang Danfeng alive." ”

Zhang Danfeng has been alone in the Central Plains for more than a year, as a killer, he has taken a lot of orders, killed and injured many famous people in the rivers and lakes, and the fireworks alliance, life and death are very close, and his name is popular all over the country; Zhang Danfeng has an advantage in doing things, not only does everything neatly, but also only talks about the price, never asks who is right and who is wrong, and his tone is very tight, which is quite valued by the people in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, many people tried every possible way to find him, and asked him to come forward to get rid of their respective enemies and opponents at high prices. It is because everyone in the rivers and lakes is in danger and everyone is worried. In addition, Zhang Danfeng is arrogant again, every time he makes a move, he openly challenges it, and he never has a helper to go to an appointment alone, and he has to make people die convincingly. I really don't know where this Danfeng learned such a good skill from someone, and he is ruthless, and it is difficult to stay alive. Zhang Danfeng rarely succeeded, and the legend on the rivers and lakes was mysterious, and it was extremely prosperous, and the wooden box he carried behind him attracted countless speculations, and there were different opinions.

But everything in the world cannot be done smoothly, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there is a heaven outside the sky, and there are people in people. This Danfeng also has unsatisfactory points, that is, whenever he goes to Renjiabao to inquire about the news and find Ren Tianqi, he will always encounter one or two copper-faced people who will block him. Zhang Danfeng and the copper-faced man have never known each other, and they have no grudges or hatreds, but they have fought with him four times, and they have a draw, and they are quite unconvinced, and they always want to find an opportunity to compete with the copper-faced people to determine the victory or defeat.

As for where the copper-faced duo came from, what their names were, and what they had to do with Ren Tianqi, they were even more confused and didn't know.

Zhang Danfeng was also anxious to find Ren Tianqi to avenge Yangzhou and achieve his reputation as the world's first sword, so when he heard that Ren Tianqi had returned to the Huai River to garrison, he rode a horse and rushed over. Zhang Danfeng wandered around the camp for three or four days, saying that he did not see a chance to enter the camp, and sneaked into the camp several times at night, but did not see Ren Tianqi himself. This night, I finally caught a big tent soldier, but it was a Mongolian soldier, who respected Ren Tianqi like a god and was very loyal, no matter how Zhang Danfeng beat and scolded, he didn't say a word. Zhang Danfeng killed him with a sword in one go, and then secretly got it to the local county magistrate's court to put it up. The county magistrate said that when he got up early and saw a Mongolian soldier dead in the public court, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he hurriedly asked someone to send him to the Chinese army camp, and sent a messenger to pay four visits;

On this day, the wind was warm and the sky was cloudless.

Ren Tianqi took the generals and 500 personal soldiers, dressed in civilian clothes, swaggered around outside the village a few times, and came to a lush place on the bank of the Huai River early, dismounted and sat in a circle, eating and drinking, talking and laughing, waiting for Zhang Danfeng's arrival.

Ren Tianqi was confident that Zhang Danfeng was hiding in an unknown corner at this time, and was closely watching every move here. Thus began a contest between hounds and prey.

In the middle of the turn, Zhang Danfeng was still missing, everyone surnamed Suo lay on the ground and basked in the sun, the spring sun was shining, warm and exciting, urging people to sleep.

Gong Ming climbed up and down, fidgeting, and couldn't help asking: "Is this damn birdman still coming today?"

A little red covered his face with a fan, took a grass root in his mouth, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, that kid is really here, look at this posture will also scare away, bragging, don't dare to come!"

Gong Ming smiled: "Second master, what did you say about our master's heart." Is it cowardice to bring so many people out?"

A little red smiled and said, "Sensei ask me, ask your grandfather to go!"

Gong Ming said with a smile: "How dare you be a little one, this is an official, and your temper has grown." How can the little one look at our grandfather who has no vitality at all, and has become a mother-in-law, and he is cringe!

A little red got up and looked up at Ren Tianqi, and saw that he was sitting on the ground alone, hanging his head and being silent, and Tian Mu Zuo Tianbao and the two stood behind them.

A little red spat out the grass roots in his mouth, and said: "Look, your grandfather is no longer what it used to be, and the family is very worried!"

Gong Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Will our master be Zhang Danfeng's opponent, is this southern sword powerful or the first sword powerful?"

A little red lay down impatiently and said: "How do I know this, I am not a god who can pinch it!"

Gong Ming smiled: "But master, you are well-informed!"

A little red smiled and said, "That's right." But I'm afraid it's not the case that I'm worried about your grandfather, and now the name of the world's first sword is as good as this trick!"

Gong Ming smiled: "That is, one official and one official, how can they be compared!

A little red smiled and said: "Get out, pedantic, vulgar!" Lying on the grass and thinking about Xiao San's words, he stopped biting.

Xiao San laughed to himself and rolled to the side.

Before the words fell, I saw a commotion behind him.

And they got up and looked up, and saw three people running over there, one carrying a box on his back, and a sword in his hand, running in front of him, turning his head and scolding backwards, and two of them were not slow to follow, each grabbing a sword, and chasing after him like a chicken, and was rushing to this side.

The person in front of him was Zhang Danfeng, but the two in the back didn't know each other very well. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the prey they had been waiting for finally appeared. The crowd got up excitedly and outflanked them.

Zhang Danfeng ran over, looked up and suddenly saw a lot of people on the ground here, startled, hurriedly gathered his feet and became vigilant, Dingqing looked at it, knew that it was the official army, and shouted happily: "Hey, be a soldier, tell your family Lord Ren, just say that I am the first sword in the world Zhang Danfeng came to him alone, tell him to come out and die quickly!"

The two people in the back saw Zhang Danfeng yelling at the sergeants, and one of them nodded his foot and approached Zhang Danfeng, shaking his hand and pulling out a few swords.

Zhang Danfeng hurriedly turned around to greet him, and the two fought in ping-pong. Zhang Danfeng was all a parrying move, and he didn't counterattack, but he couldn't help scolding in his mouth: "Dead dumb, you're a fart, don't ask three questions, don't keep pestering me to succeed, if you want to fight, just fight with me, okay, or wait for me to take a photo with Lord Ren first, and then fight with you, okay?"

The two of them were silent, one made a move, and the other watched with a sword.

Zhang Danfeng was miserable, he had to deal with the person holding the sword next to him, and he also looked back at the people here from time to time, so as not to accidentally inflict tricks on people.

Zhang Danfeng knew that there were many masters around Ren Tianqi, and there were also many weirdos, so he was very cautious.

Ren Tianqi waved his hand, and all the relatives and soldiers dispersed, blocking Zhang Danfeng's way, and surrounded the generals on three sides.

Ren Tianqi came forward, saluted the three of them, and said with a smile: "In the next Ren Tianqi, thanks to the intentions of the three of them, I thank you first." How about you two stop and stop for a while? ”

The two of them stopped fighting on the other side and separated. Zhang Danfeng pointed to the ground with his sword, opened his mouth and panted for a long time before he said: "My mother, I have found you, Lord Ren, you can make it so difficult to find it below." In the next place, these two dumb subordinates have been miserable all the way, taking turns to get on the car, and the car [***] fights, from morning to now, like a shadow, just don't let people take a breath. You have already had a plan, but you are waiting here, and it is difficult to be convincing that you can win by hard work! You can be regarded as seeing your true face clearly, and you have a false name and a reputation for profit, but in fact, you have many tricks and tricks, and you do everything you can!"

Ren Tianqi raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled: "Yes, it's rare for Brother Zhang to understand it so well, but it's a pity that it's too late to wake up today!

Ren Tianqi laughed and waved his right hand.

Gong Ming whistled, and all the soldiers behind him opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Zhang Danfeng.

Zhang Danfeng was startled, when did he see this posture, his face changed greatly, pale and frightened, he hurriedly raised his sword and crossed his chest, and said hurriedly: "Don't don't, don't have something to say below, that's a must! I came to you to face Lord Ren alone, relying on the strength of the crowd, what kind of hero! How can such a posture be fair at all? Fairness, that is a must." I don't accept it!"

Ren Tianqi laughed and said: "You are still not convinced! Assassinating the court officials and killing the court soldiers are all capital crimes that cannot be pardoned, if you have something to say, leave it to the Lord of Yama to say, I don't want to hear it anymore! Besides, why should there be so many constraints in being a man and doing things, in the next year, it has always been important to focus on the result and ignore the process, and everything is done to the extreme, with more wisdom and strength!"

Zhang Danfeng was startled, his face turned red and he hurriedly said: "That, it can't be done, I killed a sergeant in the next, it was done unintentionally, and I can't pay him the money in the next wish? I haven't fought with you yet, the ranking of the first sword in the world has not yet been decided, of course you can't die in the next, that's a must! You can't die in the next, and you can't die even if you die!"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Who is the number one sword in the world, what does it have to do with this official! This official only needs to keep the name of the southern sword, why should he be too greedy?"

A little red sneered: "The first sword in the world turned out to be a ghost who was afraid of death, so why be afraid of death!"

Zhang Danfeng hurriedly said: "Let go of your mother's shit, or you will try the taste of ten thousand arrows piercing your body!

Ren Tianqi laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, haven't you heard that I defeated Murong Gongzi with one sword?, how is you compared to Gusu Murong Gongzi? Besides, I am a general, and what I am good at is the spear and halberd in my hand, otherwise, how about we compete immediately?"

Seeing that Ren Tianqi actually didn't mean to kill him immediately, Zhang Danfeng hurriedly shook his head and said, "I am the number one sword in the world, and I can only compare with you in swordsmanship, which is a must." ”

Ren Tianqi looked back and smiled: "Okay, the swordsmanship below is all taught by this Wen Daxia, if Brother Zhang wants to get the first sword title in the world, it is okay, how about comparing with my master first?"

Zhang Danfeng glanced at a little red, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not good, you can't be fooled in the next place, people should be cautious outside, that's a must." Adults want to be deceived in the lower car, the car [***] battle, and want to see through the lower hands, then it will not work!"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "This is not good, that is not good, how can it be as you want? This official is not so good!"

Zhang Danfeng cautiously took a step back, put his sword in his hand, looked at everyone, and then looked at the two people next to him, and said with a smile: "You won't be in the next place, that's a must." In this fighting competition, you and others have a lot of hands and eyes, and you will suffer a loss. Otherwise, if Lord Ren can stay in the big tent for five days and five nights, without so many guards, and can guarantee that he will not be cheated, he will voluntarily go to the competition, if he is defeated by the adults in these five days, he will give up the name of the first sword in the world to the adults, but the second name in the world still has to be the next, it is necessary. How?" Then he glanced at the two copper-faced people next to him.

Ren Tianqi saw that Zhang Danfeng was very shrewd, courageous, and well-informed, but a little more pedantic, so he wanted to see how this person was doing, and teased Zhang Danfeng again, and said with a smile: "Cheng, what if Brother Zhang is afraid to run away halfway? I can't put hundreds of people around you, look at you, right? How can you make me trustworthy? Otherwise, how about you leave the box on your back as a mortgage?"

When Zhang Danfeng heard this, his face changed greatly, he trembled, shook his head, hurriedly took a few steps back, and said vigilantly: "That's not possible, all the money you earn under it can be put here, it's all hard-earned money licking blood with a knife, what if you steal my money?"

Ren Tianqi was amused in his heart, how could this person value money so much, and really responded to the four words that love money as life, so he glared and laughed: "Then I can't do it, either I will shoot you with ten thousand arrows now and send you to see Yan Ye, or you will send the box over, choose one of the two!"

Zhang Danfeng shook his head and was silent for a long time.

Ren Tianqi waved his hand, and Gong Ming next to him shouted: "Pre-approval!"

All the relatives and soldiers raised their arms and drew their bows, so frightened that Zhang Danfeng's face was bloodless, nodded to the side, and said hurriedly: "Zhongzhongzhong, how about leaving the soft sword in your hand below?

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Then Yicheng, if Brother Zhang doesn't steal the sword after five days, the sword will belong to me." Also, as long as Brother Zhang doesn't hurt my sergeant, I will guarantee that you can freely enter and leave my camp for five days!"

Zhang Danfeng raised his right hand when he heard this, threw his sword up, stretched out his two fingers and flicked the sword handle, and the sword "poof" sounded, and the sword handle flew forward towards Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi stretched out his hand and grabbed it, a light sword, held in his hand, as light as holding a few bamboo chopsticks, and didn't get a pound or two.

Ren Tianqi waved his hand, and the soldiers put down their arrows.

Zhang Danfeng blushed, sighed, retreated more than a hundred steps, out of the range of the arrow, stomped his foot hatefully, turned his head and glared at everyone, before turning around and flying away.

Ren Tianqi handed the sword to a little red, and was about to step forward to talk to the copper-faced two. Unexpectedly, the two of them hugged their fists at everyone, turned around and flew away, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

What is the origin of these two people, it is the second time to say goodbye, it is difficult to say goodbye, it is difficult to say that they have unspeakable suffering, looking at the back of the two of them, Ren Tianqi was stunned.
