Zhao Shu nodded secretly. This well-dressed swordsman looked like a swordsman from the south of Huaxu Kingdom.
Luo Xixian had previously recruited several swordsmen as bodyguards to accompany him in the battles in Xingluo County. Zhao Shu originally felt that these swordsmen were at best the guards of wealthy families and were of little use on the battlefield.
Later, Zhao Mian gradually learned that these southern swordsmen were from a martial arts heritage of the Tianxia Dynasty, and were accustomed to using five-foot long swords. In addition to practicing martial arts, their disciples also had to study spells and incorporate them into sword moves and footwork.
From dueling in the ring to fighting in battle, he is proficient in everything.
It is said that there are various schools of swordsmen in the South, and some have also introduced the kung fu of breathing and refining qi. Although not everyone can produce sword qi like Luo Xixian, some people can still spread qi on the sword and make the blade glow.
.The swordsman in costume in front of me is an example.
As for the young man in brocade clothes, Zhao Shui used the Yingxuan Scenery Technique to see that he was blessed by magic, and there was more than a foot difference between his physical appearance as seen by the naked eye and his actual position.
Zhao Shu also knows this body shape transformation technique. It is shallower than the gold and water morphing technique and is of little use most of the time. However, in this kind of close-quarters sword fight, the difference in size is often the difference between life and death.
Coupled with the fact that the precious sword in the hand of Mr. Jinyi is something you can tell at a glance is not an ordinary thing, it can disperse the flow of energy and exert extra force, so you have the upper hand.
It is estimated that the swordsman in the sword also noticed the difference in the opponent's technique. He immediately took two steps back, raised the blade of his sword at an angle, and moved his ears slightly, as if he planned to rely on the footsteps to determine the exact position of the young master in brocade.
"What? Wasn't it quite arrogant just now?" Mr. Jinyi touched the blade of the sword and did not hide his contempt: "A person like you actually dares to disturb Miss Xianhui again and again. You really think you have a few gold cakes.
, can you win the favor of Miss Xianhui? Don’t look at yourself, you don’t have any elegant temperament, you are just a thieves in the green forest, you just panting there, you are dirtying Miss Xianhui’s boudoir!"
The swordsman in powerful armor gritted his teeth and was secretly angry. Zhao Shu noticed that the energy in his body had gathered into his palms and could be unleashed along the long sword at any time. He obviously had murderous intentions.
"Wait a minute, you two." Zhao Shu took advantage of this opportunity to dissuade him: "Our ship was about to enter the city, and the two of them boarded the ship to fight. The sails and oars were erratic, and the crew was frightened. This is very inappropriate. If you are seeking revenge, why not do something else?
Find a free place and ask the government officials to witness the duel?"
In Huaxu Kingdom, private fights and killings are not allowed. This can be regarded as a tradition since the Tianxia Dynasty, but it usually requires official witness, and both parties in the duel sign and sign, regardless of life or death.
When the young man in brocade clothes heard this, he glanced at the white ribbon on Zhao Mi's waist and snorted coldly: "Which restaurant are you from? Don't you have eyes?"
Zhao Miao cupped his hands and said: "I am the Fu Li of Huaiying Hall..."
"Huaiying Hall?" Mr. Jinyi said, "A poor beast from the countryside has come to Dongshengdu to beg for food? It's not your turn to interrupt what I want to do!"
Zhao Ming was stunned and blinked. The style of Mr. Jinyi's speech made him smell a familiar smell, but he still calmly gestured to the distance: "You two, Longzangpo is not a wide waterway, and there are ships waiting to dock in the city behind, delaying
After a long time, I'm afraid I'll miss some important person's schedule."
"What kind of bullshit big shot?" Mr. Jin Yi raised his sword and pointed it at Zhao Shui: "Even if a real dragon comes to Dongsheng Capital, he has to stay safe!"
"Your Excellency...are you from Chongxuan Hall?" Zhao Mianpi smiled.
"Your dog eyes haven't grown crooked yet." Mr. Jinyi raised his head proudly: "I, Mr. Zheng Tunan, the Zheng family of Jiujiang, Xue Yin of the Immortal Department of Chongxuan Pavilion, do you understand me?"
Zhao Shu raised his hand and touched his chin and muttered: "I'm just telling you, it smells like Liang Zhongwei. It smells sour and rotten."
Zheng Tunan has a sharp ear and eyesight, so he naturally heard Zhao Miao whispering, raised his eyebrows and yelled: "You poor man in the countryside, if you have the ability, please say it again!"
Zhao Shu sighed. In the past, he still had the idea of being kind to others. Even though Chongxuan Hall and Huaiying Hall had always been at odds, they were not on a life-and-death level.
But looking back on all the things he did in Xingluo County, including deceiving Liang Shuo and contradicting Liang Tao, he was destined not to have a good relationship with Chongxuan Hall. Plus, the teacher was in the cabin, so why should he look good on Zheng Tunan?
With this in mind, Zhao Shui did not intend to be polite and polite, and said bluntly: "You have heard it all, why should I waste my words? Now you can either get off the boat yourself, or I will kick you off."
Zheng Tunan was so angry that he abandoned the swordsman in powerful armor and stared at him angrily: "You have the guts, I'll do it right now -"
Before he could finish his words, a black tiger flew out from Zhao Mi's sleeves and grew bigger in the blink of an eye. Zheng Tunan was so frightened that he instinctively retreated and slashed with his sword at an angle. He could only hear the sound of gold and iron mingling, but no blood was seen splashing.
Zheng Tunan was so daring that he was about to perform the technique. Zhao Shu quickly approached and raised his foot, hitting him in the chest and abdomen.
This kick was unremarkable, it was just powerful and it accurately hit Zheng Tunan's chest and abdomen.
There was only a dull cracking sound, and several of Zheng Tunan's ribs were broken. It was as if he was hit by a siege chariot in the center. His body buckled, and he flew backwards, falling directly into Longzangpo.
Hearing the sound of water splashing, Zhao Mi felt an unprecedented joy in his heart. He suddenly understood why Luo Xixian would kill Liang Zhongwei without hesitation in the first place. Facing these arrogant and dandy boys, holding it in for a long time would not only be uncomfortable, but also harmful.
state of mind.
However, Zhao Shu did not intend to kill Zheng Tunan. He still held back the force of the kick just now. Moreover, as soon as Zheng Tunan fell into the water, there were people on the shore shouting and screaming, and the servants jumped into the water desperately, and quickly
Rescue his master.
Zhao Shu's move caused everyone on the ship to be surprised and frightened. The shipowner turned pale with fright. When he heard Zheng Tunan announcing his home address, he had already planned to drag Zhao Shu back, for fear of causing a big problem. But Zhao Shu's appearance turned out to be very serious.
He is polite and gentle, but he is not polite at all when he strikes. What's more, there is a black tiger made of iron on the deck. Who dares to speak nonsense?
This black tiger is the transformation of the Yinhu Order. During the days on the ship, Zhao Shui did not forget to sacrifice the magic weapon, which made the true form of the divine tiger and the Yinhu Order coincide for the first time. Not only is the tiger more powerful, but it is also solid.
Indestructible, Zheng Tunan's sword only left a few scratches and could be restored to its original state with a little sacrifice.
Enjoying everyone's surprised and suspicious looks, Zhao Shu removed the spell, and the black tiger turned back into a delicate tiger talisman and put it in his sleeve.
"Master, keep sailing." Zhao Shu waved his hand.
"Thank you, Immortal!" The shipowner didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly let the sailors work.
"Immortal, please stay." The swordsman in the best attire was still on the deck. He stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I'm a villain. Thank you for your help, Immortal! I dare to ask the Immortal for his name. I'll repay you in the future."
"Huaiying Hall Zhao Shu." Zhao Shu took a closer look at He Dangguan at this time and found that his attire was slightly worn and the leather boots on his feet were also stained. He was probably a cash-strapped person and had a short jaw.
Must.
You must know that in recent years, men in Dongshengdu have a trend of not growing beards and wearing face powder. Liang Shuo's feminine appearance is more popular among the people in the capital. Unless he is really old and wants to show his dignity, he will be like a man.
No beard or beard.
With He Dangguan's appearance, it was obvious that he did not travel to Dongsheng Capital often, and for some reason he had a dispute with a noble man like Zheng Tunan.
"Zhao Xianchang helped, and I was very grateful, but I was just afraid that Zheng Tunan would cause trouble for Zhao Xianchang in the future," He Dangguan said.
"Oh." Zhao Shu didn't know how to respond. He couldn't openly say that he had taken advantage of Liang Shuo, right?
He Dangguan was a little anxious: "Xianzhang Zhao, you may have just come to Dongsheng Capital, but you don't know that there are many dandies here. They rely on the protection of their high-ranking families to cause harm at will, and there are many people who studied in Chongxuan Hall, even if they have not studied thoroughly.
There are also spells and magic weapons for protection.
Immortal Zhao kicked Zheng Tunan into the water today, and I am afraid that monks from the Chongxuan Hall will come to seek revenge tomorrow. Even if you are from the Huaiying Hall, you will not be safe here in Dongsheng Capital, so why not leave quickly!"
Zhao Shu glanced at He Dangguan. He originally thought that this man was jealous of Zheng Tunan in this place of prostitute women. Unexpectedly, he also knew the kindness and would not turn around and leave just to avoid trouble for himself. He also specially reminded Zhao
A little bit of millet.
"I have dealt with Chongxuan Pavilion, so there is no need to worry." Zhao Shu asked, "But for some reason, Brother He started fighting with Zheng Tunan?"
He Dangguan seemed to have something to hide, so he made up his mind before saying: "I have a family treasure. In the early years, due to the war, my father had to entrust the treasure to a good friend who was born in the Zheng family in Jiujiang. After settling down, my father
She repeatedly hoped to get the treasure back, but Zheng refused to return it, and even sent powerful slaves to kill her father.
My father died in depression because of this, and the villain also vowed to bring home the treasure. However, the Zheng family is one of the four surnames of Chongxuan, and the villain really cannot get in. After several inquiries, he learned that this is the Yeming Pavilion of Longzangpu.
Among them, there was a girl named Xianhui who had a close relationship with my father’s good friend, the Zheng family. So he brought a lot of money to visit and begged Miss Xianhui to help her.”
Zhao Shu nodded, and He Dangguan continued: "The villain finally managed to see Miss Xianhui, but he bumped into that Zheng Tunan. He repeatedly insulted him with words and claimed that the treasure had been destroyed. It is really unbearable for the villain.
, so we started fighting with him."
When Zhao Shu heard this, he suddenly remembered the stolen True Essence Lock. Wouldn't the people from Chongxuan Hall also destroy it?
"I'm curious, what kind of treasure is it?" Zhao Shu asked.
Although He Dangguan did not go into details, he entrusted family heirlooms to others, most likely because his family was hungry and cold during the war, and they had to exchange the only valuables around them for life-saving grain, rice, cloth, and silk.
It was the Zheng family who took the opportunity to extort money. It was a common thing for a wealthy family to take advantage of the war and natural disaster to extort money from the fleeing family.
He Dangguan thought about it for a long time, and finally said frankly: "It's actually a three-legged wine baron named 'Jieyou Jue'. Legend has it that it is an immortal vessel. As long as you recite the incantation to the wine baron, fine wine will continuously flow out of it.
"
Zhao Shu had a strange expression. This treasure didn't sound serious. Not to mention whether the legend was true or not, a wine baron that kept pouring out fine wine seemed to be of no use. Could it be that the immortal family who refined this baron was addicted to alcohol?
"It's a coincidence that some things in our Huaiying Pavilion were taken away by the Chongxuan Pavilion." Zhao Shu sighed. Now that he can't enter the Chongxuan Pavilion, it's hard to say when he can find the True Essence Lock.
He Dangguan thought about it, lowered his head and clasped his fists: "I know that the immortal is very capable, so I have a merciless request!"
"You want me to help you find out about Jie Youjue?" Zhao Shu saw through the other person's thoughts at a glance.
"That's right!" He Dangguan's black face was also very ashamed: "I don't believe what Zheng Tunan said. If Lord Jieyou is really a treasure of the Immortal Family, Chongxuan Hall should not destroy it."
Zhao Shu nodded secretly. After all, he had seen Liang Tao's cultivation power. No matter how incompetent or mediocre the Liang family's children were, there would always be some with good eyesight in such a large family. Even Liang Shuo himself was well-read and well-informed.
Things like the Jue and the True Essence Lock should not be destroyed easily.
"I can't guarantee that I can get reliable information." Zhao Shu said bluntly: "If the Zheng family deliberately hides it, there is nothing I can do about it."
"Young man understands."
The ship passed through Longzangpu and arrived at a water gate dock in Dongshengdu, where passengers had to leave the boat and disembark. He Dangguan told Zhao Shu where he lived, hurriedly said goodbye and disappeared into the vast sea of people and people.
Among the lights.
While Zhao Shu was thinking, he saw Zhang Duanjing also coming to the shore and looking at him expressionlessly.
"Teacher, did I do something wrong again?" When Zhao Shui saw Zhang Duanjing looking at him like this, he shrank his neck and felt as if he was nosy again.
"You have to worry about it yourself." Zhang Duanjing rarely criticized him, which made Zhao Shui feel relieved. Maybe it was because he had recently lost his mother and the teacher was unwilling to say harsh words?
Following Zhang Duanjing as he shuttled through Dongsheng Capital, all the way to the Anyang Hou Mansion in the city, Zhao Shui discovered that Zhang Duanjing did not need to ask for directions at all, and came to the Hou Mansion by familiar routes.
After the announcement, the door of the Hou Mansion opened, and a man stepped out gracefully. He had a wide robe and wide sleeves, and a straight face. When he saw Zhang Duanjing, he bowed and bowed: "Junior, I pay my respects to Mr. Zhang."
"You are now the Marquis of Anyang, so you don't have to be like this." Zhang Duanjing returned the courtesy.
"It should be so." Marquis Anyang moved his eyes slightly and saw Zhao Shui who was saluting him at the side. He looked up and down and his eyes straightened: "It's very similar."
Zhao Shu didn't know what to say. At this moment, he was secretly sad and a little embarrassed. The man in front of him was the person his mother remarried. If it wasn't to pay homage to his mother, Zhao Shu would not want to see this man.
In Zhao Shu's view, this Anyang Marquis most likely took away his mother by force based on his power and wealth. He was a complete bad guy and a bad person.
"You are Brother Ziliang's son, right?" Marquis Anyang stepped forward and patted Zhao Mi on the arm, sighing heavily, with tears in his eyes: "You are so old, how happy would Brother Ziliang be if he saw you?
"
The more Zhao Shu listened, the more strange he became. The Marquis of Anyang saw that he was actually talking about his father, Zhao Ziliang. Could it be that the two of them had an old relationship? He had never had such an impression.
"Greetings to the Marquis." Zhao Shu said quickly: "I came here today because I want to pay homage to my biological mother and don't dare to disturb the palace gate."
"What Lord Marquis? What common people?" Anyang Hou corrected: "They are all members of our own family. If you are willing, just call me Uncle Shi!"
Zhao Shu couldn't stand the enthusiasm and kindness of the other party, but when he saw the teacher's indifferent expression, he couldn't show it, so he could only let the other party lead him into the Hou Mansion arm in arm.
