Hong Chen shook his head slightly and pulled out the knife.
Deng Jinghui hummed softly, then strode forward and struck with his staff. The heavy iron staff quickly drew an arc in the air, causing a buzzing sound. If it fell on someone, his head would definitely explode.
As the helmsman of the Jianghe Gang's Yizhou branch, Deng Jinghui's martial arts are really not weak. In the Huangzhou martial arts world, he is definitely a first-rate figure. He always looks down on everyone, and there is no one who can resist him. However, his opponent is no one else.
It's Hong Chen.
Moreover, this is not the Hong Chen who usually shows off his sword and dance casually, but the Hong Chen who takes it seriously in order to live up to Chen Tu's trust.
Therefore, in front of all the martial arts masters in Bahuang City, Deng Jinghui faced the most painful defeat in his life in decades. In less than ten rounds, Deng Jinghui's iron staff broke into two pieces and he fell to the ground on his back.
, the front of the shirt was torn open, revealing his plump chest, his head was close to the floor, and his eyes looking toward the ceiling were filled with surprise and fear.
Hong Chen sheathed his sword, then picked up Chen Tu's weapons and wooden box with one hand, and set up Chen Tu with the other, and walked out of the hall. But among the martial arts heroes in the room, no one dared to intercept them. People looked at these two in astonishment.
As the guys left, they thought to themselves: What kind of people are these two people? Their martial arts are enough to dominate the entire Huangzhou martial arts world, but they do such things that offend the public. It is really incomprehensible, and I can't figure it out.
At night, Hong Chen took Chen Tu and two horses and boarded a large ship heading east. Bahuang City was the last place the two of them walked in Huangzhou. Next, they would go to Qingzhou in the east.
Go to Qingyang City.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even in the warm climate of southern Kyushu, the nights were very cold, and the autumn wind was bleak and the waves were wild on the river. It was raining lightly outside. Hong Chen closed the window of the cabin where he lived, but heard Chen Tu say.
With a cough, Youyou woke up and turned around.
"Where are we?"
Chen Tu opened his eyes and his voice was hoarse.
"On the boat to Qingzhou." Hong Chen turned around and said to Chen Tu, "In one day and night, we can reach Qingyang City."
Chen Tu said "Oh" and seemed not surprised by where he was. He calmed down and said, "Thanks to you today - there are still too many people. My drinking capacity cannot keep me up until I can beat them all."
Knock them all down."
"Fortunately, Huangzhou is full of small characters, and I don't see many who can fight." Hong Chen asked Chen Tu again, "The 'Drunken Fist' and 'Drunken Sword' skills you showed today are quite interesting. You learned it."
how long?"
"There is no need to learn at all." Chen Tu said, "I knew it the first time I got drunk."
Hong Chen didn't believe it: "When a person is drunk and his head is dizzy, how can his martial arts skills be improved?"
Chen Tu said: "Everyone has his or her own way of getting drunk. When some people are drunk, they will only make people bold and act recklessly; some people will only feel hopeless in life and have thoughts of death; some people will be completely drunk.
Everyone floats up, thinking that he is on top of the world, and the emperors all call him dad; some people are drunk, but they can liberate themselves to their heart's content, no longer restrained, and rely on their instincts to do greater things."
Hong Chen said: "You mean, you belong to the last category?"
Chen Tu nodded: "That's natural."
Hong Chen added: "Then what you said to me on the boat, why you made me unhappy, etc., were all based on your instinct when you were drunk."
Chen Tu let out a laugh: "Ha! So you actually took those words to heart - I thought you were indifferent to everything, and you wouldn't be angry no matter how much I scold you." Then he added: "Yes,
I see that you are unhappy. But it is just unhappy. I know that acting together with you will be very beneficial to me."
Hong Chen said: "Is it because I have good martial arts skills?"
Chen Tu replied: "This is just one factor."
Hong Chen asked again: "Are there other factors?" He touched the knife on his body and said, "You still want this knife, right?"
Chen Tu shook his head and said: "I have collected so many magical weapons, but I am not short of yours. What's more, your sword is still a broken blade, so I have lost interest in it. Although you are very strong in martial arts, you are more human.
You can be trusted. Today’s events have proven that I can safely entrust my drunken self to you.”
"What you said is really disgusting."
Hong Chen shrugged.
Chen Tu suddenly said: "Let's go for a walk on the deck and enjoy the breeze."
Hong Chen didn't feel sleepy and said: "Okay."
So the two of them walked out of the cabin and went to the deck. There were many other people on the deck at this time. Some people were leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, some were raising glasses to invite the moon, and some were reciting poems and writing poems with friends around them. They all had their own interests.
Chen Tu looked at the sparkling river again and said to Hong Chen, "Didn't you ask me during the day why I always look at the river?"
Hong Chen said: "Yes, I asked, but you didn't want to answer."
Chen Tudao: "I was not in a good mood at that time, but now I am much better."
Hong Chen said: "So you are willing to answer?"
Chen Tu nodded: "Yes. When I look at the river, I will think of a person."
Hong Chen said: "You really do miss someone. Who is it?"
Chen Tu said: "A woman."
Hong Chen said curiously: "This is strange. Aren't you avoiding women? You made a three-part agreement with me, asking me not to have contact with women on the road with you. Why do you keep thinking about women?"
"It's because I have suffered a lot from women, so I don't want you to suffer the same." Chen Tu said, "It's okay for you to suffer a loss. It has nothing to do with me. But if it delays things, it will be very bad."
Hong Chen asked: "What kind of woman can make you suffer? Has she cheated you of money?"
Chen Tu said: "She stole something from me."
Hong Chen suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a female thief. Did she steal your valuable treasure?"
"It's valuable even if you say it's valuable, and it's not valuable even if you say it's not." Chen Tu said, "She stole my heart."
Hong Chen understood that Chen Tu was missing his lover and said, "Well, no wonder you are worried about her day and night. Is she the one you want to save?"
Chen Tu said: "Yes. She lived on an island in the East China Sea and was seriously ill. We met on a cruise ship in the river, so every time I see the waves in the river, I will think of her."
"Since she is sick, if you don't ask the doctor to treat her, why would you come to Huangzhou to steal weapons and swords?" Hong Chen was even more curious, "I see that there is a lot of silver in your wooden box, so it doesn't look like you are in short supply.
You are a man of money. What’s more, you stole a lot of weapons, but you didn’t take a single tael of silver from those martial arts people.”
"Her illness is very special. She needs very special medicine." Chen Tu continued to stare at the wide river surface under the night sky, with fishing gulls passing by, making ripples in circles, "And everything I have done,
I just want to get the medicine that can treat her."
