The onlookers on the street dodged away, only to see a group of Turkic knights, led by a man of medium stature, burly and strong, dressed in a Han brocade robe, with a large beard, black hair combed and braided, and a look full of arrogance, which was the same Turki Khan he had seen last month.

He has been living in Taichang Temple this month to learn the six rites of the Han marriage system, and began to implement it, and he is about to reach the final stage of personal welcome, and he is waiting for the last moment to come.

Although the Turkic Khan is a Turkic, he yearns for the Central Plains culture, especially likes the porcelain and jade of the Han people, since it is rare to come to the Central Plains, of course, he can't go back empty-handed, so he rushed to the metropolitan city before getting married, can he buy any exquisite things, and bring them back to the grassland in the future.

The pedestrians on the street dodged away, and the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly pulled Yuan Ba to the side, he was afraid that Yuan Ba would run away, and Tuli Khan was treated well by the Tianwu Dynasty, and he was proud in his heart, so he had no one in his eyes, but the bright skin color of the money leopard made his eyes brighten.

Hu Ren likes beasts, this is nature, he immediately turned over and dismounted, strode towards Yuanba, the momentum was majestic, this time, Wu shopkeeper was also afraid, let go of Yuanba's wrist and quietly slipped away.

Yuan Ba looked at this Turkic Khan, he likes to observe a person from the perspective of martial arts, this Turkic Khan did not build a foundation, his steps were vain, and he was not calm, but the physique of the nomadic people was slightly stronger than that of the farming people, and the Turks belonged to the Central Asian race, with blue eyes and wide faces, and a general body shape, this Turkic Khan had broad shoulders and a thick back, and his arms were very powerful, he was born with divine power, although he did not build a foundation, but he was also a fierce general on the horse.

"Kid, whose leopard is this?"

Although Yuan Ba is nearly five feet five (about one meter six) tall, he is a twelve-year-old boy, although he is psychologically mature and has a little thought of being more than 20 years old in his previous life, but after all, his biological age is only eight years old, and he is still a child in appearance, so Tuli Khan does not believe that this leopard was hunted by Yuan Ba at all.

Yuan Ba put the leopard behind him and said proudly: "This is the leopard I hunted!"

Tuli Khan's gaze fell on the longbow on Yuan Ba's back, he was also good at using the bow, and he could see at a glance that this was a high-grade bow, at least an eight-bucket bow, his eyes were surprised, and he looked Yuan Qing up and down again, and suddenly punched him on the shoulder.

He was going to test the strength of Yuan Ba, although Tuli Khan's fist was fast and sharp, but he was still far less fast than Yuan Ba who had practiced swords underwater for three years, Yuan Ba raised his hand, sealed his fist, and pushed hard, Tuli Khan was unsteady on his feet, kicking, kicking, even taking five or six steps back, his face suddenly swollen red.

The onlookers next to him were afraid, no one dared to applaud, the Turks have always been cruel, this is the Hu chief, offended him, this young man is afraid of suffering, everyone has to hide, lest they get into trouble, in a moment, there is no one left on the street, the surroundings become empty, only Yuanba and a leopard stand in the middle of the road.

The Turki Khan's men roared, and four or five people rushed up, but the Turki Khan waved his hand to stop them, he glanced at Yuan Ba with a complicated expression, turned around and gave an order in Turkic, and a Turkic man threw a knife over.

The knife is a blunt knife, there is no blade, this is the Turkic people respect the Tianwu Dynasty, and they are not allowed to bring a knife into the palace, but they are not willing to lose the traditional compromise plan, with a blunt knife into the palace.

The knife was thrown at Yuanba's feet, and Tuli Khan took five steps back, slowly pulled out his knife, and stared at Yuanba, "Come on! ”

Yuan Ba is a twelve-year-old boy, his physical age is eight years old, but his mental age is twenty-five years old, and countless historical experiences tell him that there is only one way to win the respect of the grassland Hu people, defeat them.

He picked his feet, the knife in his hand, and swung again, the knife was thick and heavy, weighing eleven or twelve catties, Yuanba used a five-catty knife for training in the water, but on the shore he used a twelve-catty knife, this knife is just right.

Seeing that he was lifting his weight, the last trace of arrogance in his eyes was gone, his eyes became solemn, his wrist flicked, and a sword flower danced, and he also used a blunt knife, but a horizontal knife, weighing ten catties.

Tuli Khan liked the Central Plains culture since he was a child, he had studied the Han sword technique hard, and had been taught by a famous teacher, although he was surprised that Yuan Ba used a heavy knife, but his noble status and Hu people's aggressive nature made him ambitious, he arched his hand to Yuan Ba, "Let's start!"

He 'whoosh!' a knife to Yuan Ba, only to see a bright light crossed, the tip of the knife like lightning to Yuan Ba's chest, but Yuan Ba was like a fish, his waist twisted, sideways flashed this knife, and he slashed at him with a knife, he still used the first style of splitting the leopard at noon: 'Splitting the mountain', the knife was heavy, and the force split Huashan, but he deliberately slowed down the speed and showed mercy to his subordinates, and the Tuli Khan was still forced to almost suffocate by this fierce knife momentum.

He was horrified in his heart, relying on his flexible reaction, he retreated sharply, dodging the knife, and before he could stand firm, Yuanba's second knife stopped and slashed, which was the fifth of the thirteen knife techniques, called 'cutting the river', that is, cutting off the retreat when the opponent moved.

Zhang Xutuo's thirteen knife techniques can be combined at will, which can produce infinite changes, and there is no fixed routine, which is generally accumulated according to actual combat experience, or played on the spot.

Yuan Ba belongs to the on-the-spot play, he is talented, very quick to react, he found that the weakness of the Tuli Khan is unstable, so he casually used the fifth style, and the cooperation was extremely smooth.

This time Tuli Khan had no way to hide, so he had to use the horizontal knife to pick away the Yuanba heavy knife, but he felt that the opponent's knife was like water, and it actually slipped past his horizontal knife, the knife was fast and without a shadow, and his waist hurt, and he had been hit by the knife.

Tuli Khan was stunned, his sword skills were rampant in the grassland, and he had never been defeated, but today this young man cleaned him up with only two knives.

He felt a deep frustration, but he also had a trace of admiration for Yuan Ba, so he arched his hand and asked him, "Who is your master?"

He didn't care who Yuanba was, he cared more about who taught Yuanba, and Yuanba didn't hide it, and replied to him: "Zhang Xutuo, have you heard of it?"

Tuli Khan was moved, and said in a lost voice: "Your master is actually Zhang Xutuo?"

He had heard his father say that there were two brave sword generals in the army of the Tianwu Dynasty, known as the double knife of the north and the south, one was called Yujuluo, and the other was called Zhang Xutuo, both of whom were famous generals in the world, and it turned out that this young man was Zhang Xutuo's apprentice, no wonder he could fight leopards, no wonder his sword skills were powerful.

One of the characteristics of the Turks is that they respect the strong, and after being defeated by their opponents, although they do not admit defeat in their hearts, they will respect each other and will treat each other with the courtesy of true steppe equality.

He clasped his fists and saluted, "Young man, you won!"

Yuan Ba returned the knife to him, smiled slightly, and handed him a bunch of pheasant feathers, "You are my honored guest, I was rude just now, this is for you." ”

Tuli Khan didn't smile at all, he took the bright feather with both hands with a serious expression, but untied his golden short knife inlaid with gems, and solemnly handed it to Yuan Ba, "Take it! ”

Yuan Ba was stunned, he didn't expect this Tuli Khan to be so bold and give him such a valuable thing, he shook his head again and again, "No! I can't accept such a valuable thing." ”

"In the eyes of your Han people, it may be precious, but in the eyes of the Turks, only cattle, sheep and friends are the most valuable. ”

Yuan Ba took the short knife, and still felt a little inappropriate in his heart, this short knife weighed at least three catties, and it was made of gold, he heard Yang Siye say that one or two gold sold to the Di shop was worth a hundred dollars, and how much was a three-pound gold knife worth, not to mention the gems on it, this was by no means something that could be accepted with a smile.

And the Turks are not so generous, they are just as greedy for money as their lives, he always feels that there seems to be something hidden behind the knife given by this Turkic Khan?

Yuan Ba thought about it, then pointed to the golden leopard, "I'll give you this leopard." ”

The Turki Khan raised his head and smiled, he patted Yuanba's shoulder again and said: "You send Caiyu, I also return the golden knife, this is a gift for Turkic friends, there is no distinction between high and low, I don't want your leopard, we will meet again in the future." ”

He saluted Yuan Ba with Turkic etiquette, turned over on his horse, "Let's go!"

The Turkic knights surrounded him and continued to move forward, Yuan Ba looked at them and walked away, feeling very unsteady in his heart, even if the Turks like to make friends, then at least ask their own names to make friends, how can they give a golden sword without asking their names.

"Could it be .....?"

Yuan Ba remembered that when the Turkic Khan heard the name Zhang Xutuo just now, his face showed a look of shock, could it be that he was for his master Zhang Xutuo?

Yuan Ba thought it was funny, what if Zhang Xutuo was just a master made up casually by himself? He was so gullible about himself? The Turkic people's minds were incomprehensible.

As soon as his clothes tightened, he felt that someone was pulling him, and when he turned around, it was the shopkeeper Wu just now, the shopkeeper Wu stared at the golden knife in Yuan Qing's hand, and his eyes showed greed, he was a connoisseur of goods, the gold knife itself weighed at least three catties, and the hundreds of gems inlaid on the scabbard and handle were precious, especially the water sapphire on the handle was rare, and this gold knife was worth at least five hundred gold.

"Sell me this knife, and I'll give you a hundred taels of gold!"

Yuan Ba pushed him to the end, "Get out!"

He took the golden knife into his arms, resisted the leopard and left, Wu shopkeeper also knew that he would not sell the golden knife, it was the thing of the Turkic Khan, although he was greedy, he didn't dare to buy it, but he wanted the leopard of Yuanba.

"Young man, sell me the leopard! I'll give you six hundred dollars. ”

This price is good, Yuan Ba thought for a while and said: "Six hundred and fifty hangings, sell it to you!"

Although six hundred and fifty hangings have exceeded the market price, the leopard bones are also worth a lot of money, and there is also He Ruobi, the unjust big man who is willing to give ten taels of gold, he also has to earn, so the shopkeeper Wu nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's make a deal!"
