Long Chen and his group packed up their things, Long Chen wore casual clothes, Zou Cailiang and Qi Wenhai wore official clothes, and headed to Qingshan City together.
Starting from Shenmu Town, it takes two days to walk southwest.
Riding on the horse, Long Chen held the charred wooden heart in his left hand and a small whetstone in his right hand, slowly polishing the wooden heart.
"Sir, do you think there is anything special about this Mu Xin?"
Guan Yue saw that Long Chen was rubbing his heart along the way and couldn't help but ask.
Long Chen smiled and said: "There's nothing special about it, it's just for fun."
The burnt black on the outer layer has been worn away, and there is some wood color inside. It's a pity that there is only one, otherwise it can be used as chopsticks.
We set off in the morning and arrived at a market town in the evening.
Zou Cailiang said that there were no villages further ahead and suggested staying in the town for the night, and Long Chen agreed.
A few people found an inn in the town to stay, put their things in the room, and pulled the horses to the back trough to feed them.
Seeing that Zou Cailiang was wearing the official uniform of the provincial governor and Qi Wenhai was a capital official, the shopkeeper treated him with great enthusiasm.
"The shop is simple and simple, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."
The shopkeeper was very talkative and well behaved. Long Chen thought he was a good person.
Zou Cailiang was not a person who played with official power, so he smiled and said: "What are you talking about, shopkeeper? Thank you for your hospitality."
The shopkeeper killed the chicken, steamed two fish, fried some vegetables, brought out the best wine, and treated Long Chen and his party to a feast.
The shopkeeper arranged the rooms. Long Chen lived alone, Zou Cailiang had his subordinates, and Qi Wenhai lived with several others.
After dinner, when he was about to go back to his room to rest, five people came in from the door. The leader was a middle-aged man, followed by four young men, each carrying a sword.
"Shopkeeper, please serve the food and ask for meat!"
The young man shouted.
When the shopkeeper saw this group of people, his head suddenly became big, and his face showed an expression of disgust but not daring to offend.
After secretly glancing at Zou Cailiang, the shopkeeper seemed to feel confident. He walked over with a smile and said, "Where are the heroes eating?"
The young man said displeased: "Nonsense, why are you talking nonsense when you come here without eating? When you serve the food, please ask for meat!"
The shopkeeper immediately called the waiter to serve the food.
The waiter made a random meal with the remaining ingredients and served it, and the men started eating immediately.
The older man glanced at Long Chen's dining table and looked a little unhappy.
The food on Long Chen's table was very rich, but his food seemed quite shabby.
However, Zou Cailiang was wearing the official uniform of a governor, and Qi Wenhai and others were dressed as imperial officials, so the men did not dare to say anything.
"Brother Long, shall we go up?"
Zou Cailiang asked Long Chen what he meant. Long Chen smiled and said, "I just finished eating. Let's drink some tea."
Qi Wenhai immediately said: "Shopkeeper, please bring me a pot of tea."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "What a small oversight, serve tea!"
The waiter immediately made tea and served it, and Qi Wenhai poured tea for everyone.
While I was drinking tea, another group of people came outside, seven in total. The leader was a man in his early 30s, holding a tiger-head knife in his hand. The six people behind him had large ring knives hanging on their backs.
When the seven people appeared at the door, the five people who were eating immediately put down their chopsticks and picked up their swords.
The atmosphere in the inn immediately became tense, and the shopkeeper secretly complained in his heart.
The waiter immediately hid in the backyard and did not dare to come out. Other dining guests also left the table to hide.
"Shopkeeper, serve the food!"
The seven people just looked at the five people coldly, and then sat down in the seats next to them.
The shopkeeper looked around and didn't see the waiter, so he cursed the waiter in his heart for being a bastard.
"What would you like to eat, sir?"
The shopkeeper had no choice but to run over to serve him.
The man in his early 30s said: "It's delicious and delicious. Just bring it. It won't cost you any money."
These people in the world are very generous in their spending. This is the only thing the shopkeeper likes about them. They are very annoying in other aspects.
"Hero, wait a moment."
The shopkeeper immediately ran to the kitchen and ordered the chef to prepare the meal.
Long Chen drank tea, looking like he was watching the excitement.
After the shopkeeper prepared the food, the seven people began to eat. The five of them slowly relaxed their vigilance and picked up their chopsticks to eat again.
"vomit..."
Suddenly, someone at the table of seven vomited, held the table and shouted: "Poison!"
The man in his early 30s immediately raised his knife and shouted angrily: "Zhu Youde, how dare you poison me!"
The middle-aged man at the table of five people immediately stood up and cursed: "Fart! I haven't left, how can I poison you!"
The man in his early 30s didn't care, he just picked up the knife and killed him, and the other six people followed suit.
Zhu Youde and his disciples fought back, and there was a flash of swords and shadows in the hall.
The diners were so frightened that they peeed and immediately fled the lobby. Many people took the opportunity to avoid paying their bills.
When the shopkeeper saw the fight between the two sides, he secretly felt bad luck and hid behind the counter and did not dare to come out.
This is why he hates people in the world. Sometimes he pays more for meals, but he never pays for anything he breaks.
"Hand over the things! Spare your life!"
The man in his early 30s held a tiger-head knife and slashed at Zhu Youde. Zhu Youde blocked and counterattacked with his sword, and cursed: "Li Helin, I know you have bad intentions!"
Li Helin said angrily: "If you don't give it, you will die!"
Zhu Youde said angrily: "I will kill you!"
Twelve people were killing each other very lively in the lobby. Qi Wenhai held the knife tightly, Zou Cailiang looked unhappy, but Long Chen held the tea cup and watched carefully.
The moves of these people in the world of martial arts are more exquisite, or flashy, and they pay great attention to technique and appearance.
It is very different from martial arts in the military.
Martial arts in the military emphasize killing the enemy and winning. No matter what the method is, being able to kill the enemy in the fastest and most labor-saving way is good martial arts.
As for skills, when thousands of troops are rushing to kill, any skills are redundant.
Moreover, fighting on the battlefield can last for several hours, and there is no energy for playing tricks.
Bang!
A disciple was knocked away and hit hard. Qi Wenhai immediately took action to catch him.
"Don't let your court interfere in the grievances between Jianghu and Jianghu!"
Li Helin, who had seven people, had the upper hand. When he saw Qi Wenhai taking action, he immediately yelled.
Qi Wenhai put the person aside and turned to see what Long Chen meant.
Long Chen shook his head slightly, and Qi Wenhai sat down again to watch the show.
When Li Helin saw Qi Wenhai recognize him, he immediately turned around and surrounded Zhu Youde.
The five Zhu Youde were at a disadvantage and were quickly killed until only Zhu Youde was left.
"Zhu Youde, hand over your things and I will save you from death!"
Three people on Li Helin's side also died, and there are still three disciples left.
Zhu Youde was stabbed twice, one on the collarbone. The injury was so severe that the bleeding could not be stopped.
"This is our Ling Jianxuan's thing, why should I give it to you?"
"You Qingshan sect are arrogant and domineering, and you will be eradicated sooner or later!"
When he heard about the Qingshan Sect, Qi Wenhai immediately said, "Sir, they are the sect in Qingshan City, and they are the ones who protect the villains."
Long Chen nodded slightly and looked at Li Helin and the others.
"Hmph, eradicate our Qingshan sect? We are an upright sect, and you, Ling Jianxuan, are the scum of the martial arts world!"
Li Helin stepped on Zhu Youde's collarbone, a large amount of blood gushed out, and Zhu Youde groaned in pain.
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Zhu Youde couldn't bear the pain and finally let go.
Li Helin sneered: "Even if you don't give it to me, I can get it myself!"
The three disciples behind him were very happy and cursed:
“Those things that don’t know what they’re looking for have to be dealt with by us!”
"You don't give it until you are about to die. What a bastard!"
"It's useless even if I give it, I want to avenge my junior brother!"
Zhu Youde slowly took out a small dark red sign from his body. Li Helin's eyes lit up and he yelled: "Give it to me!"
