"Haha, it's even more lively along the way." Xie Cangxing said.
The next day.
"We have been delayed for a lot of time. We must rush down in the past few days. There is a shortcut to Zhejian Villa at the east gate of the village. I just heard from the villagers here that there seems to be bandits there." Jiang Cheng said.
.
"Everyone, be careful. If you encounter bandits, be careful when dealing with them."
"Sister Mu, what's wrong?"
"Look at my memory, I left something at the inn and forgot to pick it up," Murong said.
"Whatever it is, I'll go get it with you." Miss Xia said.
"It's okay, it's just some belongings. I'll just go back and get them. You guys go first, I'll be there soon."
"I know, let's go slower." Lin Xiao said and left with the others.
Xie Cangxing stayed and looked at Murong.
"What's wrong?" Murong said.
"It's nothing, I just think Miss Murong is very mysterious."
"Mysterious, haha. As a single woman walking around the world, I naturally have to be more careful and vigilant," Murong said.
"I'm saying that there are everyone in this world. Brother Xie, do you think so?"
"Yes, the world is dangerous, and everyone hopes to have a few things about themselves that are not known to others. We are waiting for you in front." Xie Cangxing said.
"Brother, that woman is here." said the little gangster.
“It was extremely hard work.”
"Why is it hard work? We are exhausted. You guys are too cruel. Now my legs are still green. I need to pay more for medical expenses. To be honest, we brothers are miserable just to make money.
"Yes," said Boss Sun.
"I can see that you have suffered a little, but there are even more tragic things in this world. I work for nothing but have no money."
"How could the money I got fall into the hands of people like you?" Murong said.
"You don't mean what you say."
"So what if it doesn't count?"
"Why don't you get out of here, do you want to die?" Murong said.
"Damn it, wait and see." Boss Sun said.
"what are you looking?"
"Because of the girl's charm, I glanced at her a few times unconsciously, which is rude." Murong said.
Everyone waited for a while before Murong came.
"You guys have been waiting for a long time."
"Sister Mu, are you missing something?"
"Don't worry, that girl just looked bad. What's going on?"
"Our eldest young man saw that the girl was pretty, so he went up to her and got close to her, but then she ignored her."
"Oh, it's not Brother Xie who's staring at me, right?"
"Haha, that girl is from Miaojiang. It is said that their poison is very powerful. I dare not mess with her." Xie Cangxing said.
"Actually, I." Lin Xiao said.
"Really, I thought Brother Xie wouldn't be afraid of anything when he saw a beautiful girl." Xie Cangxing said.
"Haha, you praise me too much."
"Let me tell you, your face is probably thicker than the city wall."
"Listen to me." Lin Xiao said.
"I just saw that girl's unusual attire, and I was curious."
"They have gone far. Let's go quickly. The road from here is Qianfengling. We will go to Zhejian Villa from there." Jiang Cheng said.
"The mountain roads here are narrow and the wind is strong. Everyone should be more careful and hope not to encounter the bandits that the villagers said."
Miss Xia whispered: "If the young master insists on walking, why should we come to a place like this?"
"Miss Xia?" Lin Xiao said.
"Nothing, I mean, let's go quickly." Miss Xia said.
"Sir, please forgive me."
"What sound?" Lin Xiao said.
"Could it be that bandits have appeared?"
"Don't be impulsive." Jiang Cheng said, "I'll go over and take a look. You guys are here to protect the young master."
Sure enough, there were several bandits in front of them, blocking passers-by.
"These gentlemen are so generous, you can just take the money."
"Masters, I'm really sorry that we only have so much money on us and we really don't have anything else."
"I just want to spend this little money on you."
"Even if you look down on us, you still look down on the knife in our hands."
"father."
"No, no, we definitely don't mean to look down on you."
Jiang Cheng said: "There is robbery ahead."
'This is the first time I've met.'
"Since someone has been captured by bandits, let's go over and rescue them," Miss Xia said.
"Haha, there was another fight. Let's go over and teach that bandit a lesson."
"No, if we go out rashly, they might do something bad to the person who comes."
"What should we do?"
"Lead them away first," Jiang Cheng said.
"Leave this to me." Miss Xia said.
"It seems to me that there is really not much oil and water. It took a lot of effort to get out. Just such a small thing makes me angry."
"Let's just kill these two people."
"Sir, please forgive me, we really have no money."
"No, you have forgotten what brother said."
"Ouch, it hurts like hell."
'There seems to be someone over there.'
"Go over and see if these two people can't escape."
"Who?" said the bandit.
"That bastard did it, get out of here.'
"I can only walk, not roll away." Miss Xia said.
"You are so brave that even a girl dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head."
"Haha, are you sure it's the same one?" Everyone walked out.
"What, there are five people in total."
"You are the bandits entrenched here. I advise you to put down your weapons, go to the government and surrender early, and stop doing this kind of bullying with guns."
"You pretty boys and little bitches still dare to talk nonsense, let's see how the elders deal with you."
A battle.
"The idea is tough, let's run."
"You two are frightened. Please grab your things and leave immediately." Lin Xiao said.
“Everything is still there, nothing is missing”
"Little old man, thank you so many heroes."
"Further forward is the village. This bandit dare not enter the village. You will be safe when you get there." Miss Xia said.
"There is no way to repay a great kindness. Dear benefactors, please accept these things and take your leave."
"At least I got a few thank-you gifts. I'm grateful for my kindness. I didn't save this man in vain."
‘Brother Jiang, don’t you have to chase those escaped bandits?’ Lin Xiao said.
"That's right, if we don't do anything else, let's just go to the bandits' den, take away their lair, and get some money on the way."
"Haha, it depends on whether you have this ability." Murong said.
"Don't chase the poor bandits. We don't know the true strength of the bandits and we can't take risks. When we get to the villa, I will report it to the master and send someone to solve it."
"Miss Xia, what are you looking at?" Lin Xiao said.
"It's strange. It was so peaceful along the way. I thought the bandits who escaped just now brought people to take revenge."
Miss Xia said.
"Miss Xia's words are wrong. There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, besiege it, and if you are five, attack it." Lin Xiao said.
"We are much stronger than them. If these bandits want to defeat us, they need more manpower."
"Be careful!" Jiang Cheng said.
A man in red rushed over and fought with Jiang Cheng.
After a fight, a group of bandits surrounded everyone.
"stop."
"Unfortunately, I was right."
"Are these people?" the bandit leader said.
"That's right."
"Are you from the government?"
"I'll handle it, you guys should be careful." Jiang Cheng whispered.
"knew."
"I am a disciple of Zhejian Villa. These are members of the Lin family. We want to go to Zhejian Villa to participate in the Sword Tasting Ceremony. We are passing by your place. I have no intention of offending. Please forgive me for offending me just now." Jiang Cheng
explain.
"It's not easy for us to break out now. It depends on the reputation of your two families. Let them retreat before the difficulties."
"Hmph, you aristocratic families don't have many good things, so I won't accept this," the leader said.
"If you hurt me, Li Yan, don't even think about leaving."
"Oh, the negotiation failed." Murong said.
"It seems that in the end, this matter will depend on whose fist is stronger." Xie Cangxing said.
"Brother, although you have a large number of people, your martial arts may not be better than ours. If we fight against each other, we will both lose and suffer injuries."
Lin Xiao said: "Why don't we each take a step back and let us pass? I will give you a hundred taels of silver. Besides, robbing families and homes is not the right way. Life or death is unpredictable. Please retreat as soon as possible."
"If you dare to say that you are not good at martial arts, I will chop you to death."
"Don't JJYY, you beat our brother and try to escape."
"If you damn humans hadn't come back as bandits, how dare you say something happened to us."
"This guy can make a hundred taels with just one shot. I don't think he has enough money to pay for it. Brother, let's do it."
"Huh?" Lin Xiao said.
How could it be like this? It is moved by emotion and understood by reason.
"Okay, stop talking." Miss Xia said.
Alas, I have no choice but to fight as hard as I can.
"You are not allowed to move around in the back, you will distract me."
"Wait a minute, brother, are you willing to fight with me alone?" Jiang Cheng said.
"Why do you negotiate terms with me?"
"As I said just now, if there is a melee between the two sides and we fight with our lives, you will also suffer heavy casualties." Jiang Cheng said.
Li Yan said: "How about you and me, two lives with so many lives behind us?"
"Your lives are not as valuable as the boss. Boss, don't listen to their nonsense, kill them."
"If you don't want to fight Brother Jiang, you can fight me." Xie Cangxing said.
"You two should stop joking. I have so many subordinates. If I lose, where will I put my face?"
"How can our eldest brother lose?"
"Humph, don't you just want to be the only one? You talk so much nonsense." Li Yan said.
"I will do as you wish, defeat him first, and then take care of you."
"Then please."
"You all stand back first."
"Boss."
"Back off!"
The challenge is successful, now it depends on Brother Jiang's ability, Murong thought.
"Brother Jiang?" Lin Xiao said.
"Don't worry, the foundation of Zhejian Villa will never be lost to the bandits."
"snort."
There was a fierce fight between the two sides.
"Boss?"
"you lose."
"I didn't lose, come again."
"Brother Jiang, calm down quickly and straighten your breathing."
"This aura, are you the same as us?"
"What?"
"You are obviously one of our kind, why do you have to sacrifice your life for humans?" Li Yan said.
'What do you want to do?'
"Why do you still have to besiege me after losing a duel?"
"Brother Jiang, how do you feel now?" Lin Xiao said.
"The breath has calmed down a bit," Jiang Cheng said.
this person!
"Dare to hurt the boss, brothers."
"You, go back on your word, come when you want."
Xie Cangxing; "I'll come, I'll come. Just watching you guys fight made me feel itchy."
"The outcome is uncertain this time, so I'll let you go. That Jiang, you are very skilled. If one day you have no place to stay, you can come to me," Li Yan said.
"withdraw."
The bandits retreated.
"I'll take you around this time. If anything happens to the boss, we will never let you go."
"Hey, he's gone."
‘That’s it.’ Xie Cangxing said, “Of course you don’t know our little brother Jiang even if you don’t fight with him, so you have to sell him to save face no matter what.”
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Cheng said.
"Let's go quickly, it will be bad if he changes his mind."
‘Yeah.’ Jiang Cheng said.
"Brother Jiang, your body?" Lin Xiao said.
"I'm fine. I can't stay here. I'll just go through Qianfengling. When I get to Zhejian Villa, I can rest assured."
"Miss Xia, what's wrong?"
My head, why did I feel dizzy again?
"It's okay." Miss Xia said.
"Let's go quickly. There are too many troubles along the way."
Everyone continued to move forward and arrived at Zhejian Villa within a few days.
"There are so many people, this place is really lively."
"I think they are all here to attend the conference," Murong said.
"Isn't it just a convention where everyone appreciates weapons? Why are there so many people?"
"Let me explain it to you. The magical weapons held by the Ouyang family are famous all over the world, and are praised by everyone in the martial arts world. Therefore, over the years, people have been going to Zhejian Villa to seek magical weapons almost every day.
"Lin Xiao said.
"In case the weapons fall into the wrong hands, people in the martial arts community can compete at the meeting. Only those with good character and martial arts can obtain the weapons of Broken Sword Villa."
'Yes, most of the people here come here for weapons. If you can get a weapon in the arena of Broken Sword Villa, you will become famous. If you sell it, you can make a lot of money.' Murong Lan
explain.
"Oh, that's right." Miss Xia said.
"You want to compete with others with your body and bones?"
"I'm here for fun, there's nothing I can do this time."
"Brother Jiang, I have no intention of belittling the Sword Competition, and I wouldn't have gotten to know you if I hadn't been here when I was a kid."
"There's no need to apologize. There are more martial arts people participating in the conference this year than in previous years. As a young master, you'd better be cautious in your words and actions."
"Yeah." Lin Xiao said.
"Anyway, more people come to fight."
"A sparring session is not a fight." Lin Xiao said.
"Haha, that's right. I wonder if I can meet any good players." Xie Cangxing said.
"Young Master Lin, I thought you would say that this place is covered in snow and then recite poems and so on."
"Haha, Sister Mu, you have figured out his temperament in the past few days." Miss Xia said.
"Don't make fun of me. The scenery here is beautiful, but the weather is cold and I don't have this temperament anymore," Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, it's Young Master Lin."
At this time, a man in brocade clothes came.
"Young Master Huangpu."
"Oh, Brother Lin, haven't you been avoiding the world? Now you finally figured it out?"
"For some reasons, if possible, I don't want to come here."
"The Lin family is a famous martial arts family. As the young master, it is natural for you to participate in the sword tasting competition. It is no longer appropriate for you to have been absent from the competition in the past few years."
"Please go around me, I know I was wrong."
"Forget it, why can't I see my two uncles?"
"My father and uncle are official and have only arrived in the past few days. I don't know why Emperor Huangpu hasn't arrived yet," Lin Xiao said.
"There is something going on at home. My father will be here in a few days."
"Young Master Lin, thank you for coming all the way."
At this time, Ouyang Bing, the housekeeper of Zhejian Villa, arrived.
"Mr. Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if Ouyang Shibo is free. I'm going to make a complaint. My father and uncle will be a few days late."
"We'll wait for the family leader to teach you. No need to be polite. The master is in the hall. I'll take you there right now."
"Ah, if Shibo has something to do, I won't be here. I'll go say hello tomorrow." Lin Xiao said. (To be continued)
