Chapter 7 Encounters in a Foreign Country

When a distinguished guest comes to the door, he naturally can't stand in front of the door for a long time.

After a few words of greeting from everyone, Wan Zhenshan turned sideways and raised his hand to invite Tie Shou and Zhao Fan to come in. His two disciples, Sun Jun and Shen Cheng, saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately took the lead in the front and led the way for everyone.

So, accompanied by Wan Zhenshan, Tie Shou and Zhao Fan walked all the way to the courtyard. While enjoying the scenery in the courtyard, Tieshou also gave full play to the advantages of traveling in a wide range of ways, and had a relationship with everyone in Wanfu.

"Is this junior brother's name Wu Kan? Do you have a cousin Wu Liang, who listened to the lecture under the old man of Jingshihua? When I was drinking with him before, I heard him mention about you. Now that you are practicing martial arts by the side of Wan Lao Hero, it can be regarded as a small success, and when the time comes, I can also congratulate you in front of Brother Ling. ”

"Haha! It turns out that Second Master Tie still has such a relationship with us, so it's really even closer and closer!"

After just a few words, everyone's atmosphere suddenly became extremely harmonious, even if there was any embarrassment and mustard, it had been thrown out of the clouds at this time.

For the strong communication skills of Second Brother Tie, Zhao Fan on the side really admired it very much. By the time everyone walked through the front yard and came to the door of the hall, several people were already talking and laughing like old friends for decades.

"Speaking of which, Second Master Tie came over this time at a good time, and there is a distinguished guest in the house at this moment, who is the second master of Tie's old friend. Just a few days ago, we just talked about the heroic deeds of Tie Erye, but I didn't expect that the real person was right in front of us today!"

Standing in front of the hall door, Wan Zhenshan said with a smile on his face.

"Oh?" Iron Hand asked with a wink, "so there is an old man here, but I don't know who it is?"

"Haha, this distinguished guest is in the hall, and the second master of Tie will know when he enters. ”

Wan Zhenshan laughed and sold a pass, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

"Please!" Tie Shou replied with a smile, and took Zhao Fan with him and walked into the hall with the disciples of Wanmen.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhao Fan saw the "old man" mentioned by Wan Zhenshan at a glance.

Sitting in the host and guest seats in the hall was a handsome and handsome young man. This young man seems to be no more than thirty years old, but the whole person is very generous, and it seems that even if he has not been in a high position for a long time, at least he is a strong party.

And what Zhao Fan cares about more is his hands!

It was a pair of hands holding knives! firm, steady, and full of restrained terrifying lethality! Judging from these hands alone, this person's knife skills have surpassed Tian Boguang more than one step above, but what is the way of this young master who suddenly appeared?

Zhao Fan cast his puzzled gaze on Tie Shou, and saw that Tie Shou's face suddenly became complicated, and he was silent for a while, and then he strode forward and saluted with his fists.

"It turned out to be Brother Xi!"

"Iron two catchers!"

The young man in the seat also changed his face when he saw the iron hand, but at last he stood up and saluted back.

After the salute, neither of the two people spoke, just stood in the hall and looked at each other silently, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a so-called "old friend".

Seeing this scene, Wan Zhenshan, who was still smiling just now, couldn't help but be surprised, I don't know what story happened between these two distinguished guests, but Zhao Fan on the side saw this scene, and he already had a guess in his heart about the identity of the "Brother Xi".

Sure enough, after a moment of coldness, Iron Hand was the first to break the silence.

"Senior Brother Zhao, let me introduce to you, this Brother Xi is the owner of the Xijiazhuang, a famous martial arts family across the Tiger River, 'Shattered Dream Heavenly Knife' Xi Qiuya. ”

"It turned out to be the owner of Xi Zhuang in person, and he looked up to him for a long time!"

Zhao Fan smiled and stepped forward to salute, and at the same time confirmed the guess in his heart.

――This young man is indeed Xi Qiuya of Xijiazhuang. Only he could make Iron Hand's face show such a complicated look!

At that time, the Tang Sect in Sichuan infiltrated martial arts families in various places, trying to expand their power, and created a large number of tragedies in various places. Iron Hand and cold-blooded passed across the Tiger River and were involved in the case of "Dream Shattering Knife", although they finally cracked the conspiracy of the Tang Gate and killed the Tang Gate general Tang Yu on the spot, but Xi Xiaofeng, the owner of Xijiazhuang at that time, went crazy because of excessive mental pressure, and launched a cruel killing that the six relatives did not recognize, not only to kill his own son Qiuqiu, but also to kill his brother and sister, and kill the official until a coincidental opportunity, the second young master of Xi Jiazhuang at that time, Xi Qiuya, successfully cracked the "Dream Shattering Knife" 's secret, with the power of the skyrocket, he killed the crazy big brother Xi Xiaofeng.

In that tragic case, Tie Shou had saved Xi Qiuya's life several times, and helped him regain the ancestral business of Xijiazhuang, but at the end of the matter, Xiao Zhen, the woman whom Xi Qiuya loved deeply, fell in love with Tie Shou and drifted away with Tie Shou.

For Xi Qiuya, the iron hand has a deep kindness to him that will not be repaid for a hundred years, but for the iron hand, he is guilty of Xi Qiuya.

Although the two did not have a bad relationship, once they met, they were still inevitably a little embarrassed. It's just that they are all characters with status, and they quickly adjusted their moods, and after a few words to each other, the atmosphere on the scene became warm again, which made Wan Zhenshan and several disciples who were watching invariably breathe a sigh of relief.

As the "little brother" who followed the iron hand to the door, Zhao Fan was very correct about his positioning, and did not join the conversation of these martial arts celebrities. When everyone was chatting, he just kept smiling, nodding his head from time to time, and when someone was talking to him, he would respond briefly a few times, never becoming the focus of the conversation.

Compared with these unnutritious conversations, what interests Zhao Fan more is actually Xi Qiuya.

In Zhao Fan's impression, this owner of Xi Erzhuang can be called mediocre in martial arts, not only is he far inferior to Iron Hand, but even a place like Guo Qiufeng can't compare to catching heads.

Although it was he who finally killed his brother at the beginning, Zhao Fan knew that fifty percent of this record was due to surprise, and the other fifty percent was based on the power of the "Dream Shattering Knife" divine weapon, which was not his own strength at all. However, a few years have passed at this moment, and the owner of Xi Erzhuang, who had mediocre martial arts, has broken out of the name of "Broken Dream Heavenly Knife", and has led Xi Jiazhuang to become a strong party again.

Zhao Fan originally thought that this was mostly a name for himself by relying on divine soldiers, but he didn't expect that at first sight, this Xi Qiuya's martial arts were far beyond his imagination. Obviously, in just a few years, this person must have worked hard, completely polished off the habits of the gentleman, successfully comprehended the essence of the knife, and became a master of the knife that should not be underestimated.

With the clues that Tong GuΓ² has observed so far, Zhao Fan can probably speculate that even if he does not use divine weapons, this second master of Xi Er Zhuang will definitely be able to make twenty moves...... Even, within ten moves, Tian Boguang was slashed under the knife.

And if you use the "Dream Shattering Knife" that created a martial arts legend decades ago, how strong will this young man be in front of him? Will he be able to defeat him with the "treasure" in the box?

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan couldn't help but feel extremely interesting.

Think about it, when a lowly martial arts trick in the original work can shine with dazzling brilliance with his own efforts, how can this river and lake not be pleasantly surprised?

"Hey, that's right! This is what I want! If everything is done in the book, then what's the point of the world?"

Zhao Fan thought secretly, and heard the conversation of Tie Shou and the others, and finally slowly stepped into the topic.

"Second Master Tie, I don't know what is the important matter of the two of you coming to Jingzhou? But there is a place where the old man can help, although the two of them are instructed, so that the old man can share the worries of the court and do his best for the justice of the martial arts. ”

Halfway through the conversation, Wan Zhenshan first mentioned the right thing, and as soon as he spoke, he patted his chest to show his loyalty.

In a scene like this, naturally there is no credibility of Yicheng, but in any case, this can be regarded as Wan Zhenshan's expression of his attitude. Tie Shou smiled slightly, and said in his heart that this old fox deserves to be a local tyrant, and he really knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat, so he nodded immediately.

"I won't hide it from you, Senior Brother Zhao and I are indeed here for official business. "At the end of last month, the two generals of Jiangling Prefecture, Zhang and Li, were killed and died tragically, and the imperial court was furious and sent us to investigate. ”

"This visit to the Wan Lao Hero's Mansion is on the one hand to get acquainted with the local martial arts colleagues in Jingzhou, and on the other hand, it is also to inquire about the news from the Wan Lao Hero. As a famous martial arts man in Jingzhou, Old Man Wan must be well-informed, but there is no news about the murder of the two generals?"

"Well...... this" Wan Zhenshan listened to Tie Shou's words, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and then frowned as if he was thinking about it.

"Hmm...... Regarding the murder of the two generals, our local martial arts colleagues in Jingzhou were also quite shocked by this, including Master Da Da, Daoist Shihe and others, all of whom had inquired about the news, but they had not been able to find any clues. ”

"Huh?" Iron Hand frowned and asked, "Even the Angry Jiao Gang and the Wudang Sect can't find any news?"

"yes. Wan Zhenshan sighed and stroked his beard and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, there is a reason for this. Originally, with the manpower of the Nujiao Gang and the forces of the Wudang Sect, they couldn't find out what they wanted to find? Unfortunately, in the past two months, Jingzhou City has been really chaotic, and many martial arts people from all over the world have poured in, causing chaos in the city. So in my opinion, it's not that they didn't find anything, but that there are too many suspicious places to investigate. As for the murder of the two generals...... The old man can only say that there are too many faces in the city now, no matter who does it, it is possible. ”

"I see. Tie Shou nodded and said, "However, there is such chaos in Jingzhou now?"

"yes, it's just that messy. Wan Zhenshan said with a wry smile, "Now the city is full of martial arts people, even the Longsha Gang and the Nujiao Gang have to shrink their strength. Since the beginning of last month, the Mansion has been hit by people one after another. As a last resort, I invited the owner of Xi Zhuang to sit down. It's called a guest, but it's actually a boxer, which really makes the old man's face dull. ”

"Oh?" Listening to Wan Zhenshan's words, Tie Shou turned his gaze to the direction of Xi Qiu Cliff.

I saw Xi Qiuya nodding affirmatively, agreeing with Wan Zhenshan's statement.

"It is indeed as Wan predecessors said. I've been a guest in Jingzhou for almost a month, and it's not a good idea that someone has to come to the door every day or two. ”
