The little fat man's face turned red, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his eyes were a little evasive.
Ban Yang also felt a little worried, after all, he was the one who encouraged Liu Shu.
The atmosphere gradually became depressing.
Both of them felt extremely stressed and uneasy.
Ever since Liu Mang became famous in the Golden Tiger Gang, his power has become more and more powerful.
The little fat man opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was not going.
"Is there enough money?" Liu Mang asked suddenly. He just exchanged a lot of silver.
"Ah?!" Liu Shu and others were stunned.
After giving Liu Shu ten taels of silver, Liu Mang followed Qi Quan to the teahouse Jizhilou.
There are two floors in Jizhilou. The first floor is for private seating and the second floor is for private rooms. In the middle of the house, there is a circular raised platform with a height of one person, which is surrounded by sparse wooden strips. This is where the storyteller sits.
As the most famous teahouse in Jiangcheng, Jie Zhilou was overcrowded at this time. Liu Mang and Qi Quan finally managed to get a seat, but they had to share seats with two other people they didn't know.
A pot of tea and two snacks cost one tael of silver. As everyone knows, Zhizhilou sells more than just tea.
Liu Mang looked around and saw a mixed bag of people on the first floor.
There were veiled women, women holding children, and people wearing bamboo hats and holding swords. As for the situation in the private room on the second floor, he couldn't see it.
While everyone was waiting eagerly, a thin old man with white hair and white eyebrows walked up to the platform. He hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
"Old Man Gao, are you still telling the story of General Zhenxi today?"
"I think ***** is still interesting. I wonder if there are any changes?"
"You haven't finished the story you talked about last time about the battle between thunderbolts and mountain bandits!"
Seeing Old Man Gao coming up, everyone was in a commotion and put forward their demands one after another.
Old Man Gao calmly picked up a clapper and slapped it hard on the table.
"What I want to talk about today is about Wang Yuanjian, the hero of Jiangcheng. In the battle of Weiliang, the sword picked off the three dark horse bandits and made it to the Dragon and Tiger list for the first time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience started talking.
"Dragon and Tiger List? Finally, someone from Jiangcheng is on this list. This is the first time in the past ten years, right?"
“But I don’t know if it’s the dragon list or the tiger list?”
"I know Wang Yuanjian. He is a genius that the Bingpo Sect will never see in a century. If he is not twenty this year, he will definitely be on the Tiger List!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Mang gradually understood what the Dragon and Tiger List was.
The Dragon and Tiger Rankings are divided into Dragon Ranking and Tiger Ranking, which were set up by the Imperial City Division to monitor the world.
Among them, there are thirty-six people on the Dragon List, which includes the thirty-six people with the strongest martial arts in the world, but there is a restriction, that is, they are no more than forty years old. There are seventy-two people on the Tiger List, and they are all young heroes.
, and cannot be older than twenty years old.
Therefore, the Dragon List is also called the Heroes List, and the Tiger List is also called the Heroes List.
As a small town in the southeast corner of Zhao State, Jiangcheng has not had a figure on the Dragon and Tiger List for more than ten years.
Wang Yuanjian's killing of the third leader of the dark horse bandit who has been famous for many years is a solid and eye-catching achievement. It is also quite convincing that the Imperial City Division included him in the Tiger List.
I just heard Old Man Gao on the stage continue to make a final decision: "It is said that the black horse bandits captured Liangcheng this time, and they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in the city.
Therefore, a few days ago, the other seven cities in our southeast jointly sent troops to support Liangcheng, and our martial arts colleagues also provided help..."
"But they say that this dark horse bandit is the third in charge, and is nicknamed Guitou Yaksha by the Jianghu people. He is ugly, likes to feed on children, and uses virgin blood as tea.
He was good at using a soul-locking whip, and when he whipped it down, many of our officers and soldiers were separated from their heads, and their souls were scattered and unable to be reincarnated. Master Wang Yuanjian was furious when he saw it, and holding a wind-splitting knife, he came up and fought with Ghost Head Yaksha
A hundred rounds of fighting!"
Old Man Gao began to tell how Wang Yuanjian fought with the third master of the dark horse bandit, as if he was immersed in the scene, and everyone present was intoxicated. When they heard that Wang Yuanjian had been whipped by the third master, everyone's hearts were tightened.
.
Liu Mang took a sip of tea, picked up the pastry and ate it while enjoying Old Man Gao's performance. This Old Man Gao had two brushes, and even he listened with gusto.
The story soon came to an end.
"...Although Guitou Yaksha is brave, the strongest has its own strong opponent. Every mountain is as high as a mountain. When he met Wang Yuanjian, the hero of Jiangcheng, he naturally had no choice but to hate me!"
Old Man Gao slammed the clapper on the table: "Wang Yuanjian is so brave, but it arouses the admiration of a female hero present.
She is as beautiful as a fairy, her skin is whiter than the moonlight in the sky, her eyes are deeper than the water of Longjiang River, her swordsmanship is superb and her family background is prominent."
"As for who she is, let me keep it a secret and let me explain it next time!"
Everyone present stopped listening to this.
"Old Man Gao, don't do this every time. Who is that heroine? Tell me quickly!"
"Yes, yes, we are all very interested in this heroine. Is she together with the prince? And how prominent is her family background?"
"Don't lie to us. Every time you tell us that we will decompose it next time, and we will tell you something else next time! We haven't finished telling the story about General Zhenxi last time!"
Liu Mang was also very angry. He just heard the wonderful part and stopped immediately. From everyone's words, it can be analyzed that this old man Gao is not only a broken dog, but also a habitual eunuch!
Qi Quan was struggling with another question: "Why does Wang Yuanjian, which has a sword in its name, turn out to be a sword?"
Liu Mang:......
On the stage, Old Man Gao cupped his hands in all directions, then left the platform, walked around an aisle, and walked deeper into the teahouse.
Liu Mang saw it and said to Qi Quan, "Wait for me here for a while." But the others rushed towards Old Man Gao.
"Why did you stop me?" Old Man Gao looked at Liu Mang with a smile.
Liu Mang cupped his hands and said, "I've heard that Mr. Gao knows astronomy and geography. I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
Old Man Gao smiled and said: "Since you came here, you should know my rules. If you want me to speak, you must have money to knock on the door."
The last time Liu Mang heard this was when he consulted a lawyer in his previous life.
Liu Mang smiled and said, "I wonder how much my father-in-law charges?"
"It depends on what question you ask. For example, can the general trend of the world and the rise and fall of an individual cost the same?"
"Old fox." Liu Mang complained in his heart, but went straight to the point: "I wonder if I know the location of the Four Sacred Sects?"
Old Man Gao stared at Liu Mang with interest: "A few days ago, Yin Tianfeng, a man with one sleeve, and Zhong Yulong, a soul-destroying bell, came to our outer city of Jiangcheng. I don't know what their purpose was. I must have come into contact with you during this period."
"Your Qi and blood are strong, and you can move like a dragon or a tiger. You have obviously practiced external skills. However, your breathing is a bit messy and your mood is uneven. You probably don't have any internal skills."
"You asked me about the location of the Four Sacred Sect. I wonder if Yin Tianfeng asked you to go there or did you want to go there yourself? With your cultivation, you can't cross the Taiyun Mountain Range. It's strange."
After Old Man Gao finished his analysis, Liu Mang felt cold sweat break out.
He suddenly regretted that he should not have come to see Old Man Gao so rashly.
