One Sword to Heaven

Chapter 44
Xiahe!

Wang Yan never expected that Xia He would take the initiative to find him. The key is how did he recognize himself?However, Wang Yan, who already had experience in the world, would not be so abrupt, and clasped his fists together and said, "Brother Xia, we meet again."

"It's true that we met again. Brother Wang clearly saw Xia He but didn't come to greet him before, which made Xia He very sad. Xia He still hasn't forgotten the scene of having a drink with Brother Wang that day, and even brother Wang drinking, eating meat, killing people with a sword, chatting and laughing happily His graceful demeanor is still imprinted in my mind.

Brother Wang sees that Xia He is now working as a guard in a brothel, and his status is low, so he doesn't want to recognize him? "

Xia He was still so straightforward, but his words were a bit aggressive. Fortunately, Wang Yan was no longer a young man in the world. He waved his hand and said, "Wang Yan didn't mean anything like that. It's just that there are other important things on this trip." So I haven't had time to recognize Brother Xia."

Wang Yan's words may not be mellow, but Xia He didn't come to him to accuse Wang Yan, so he used the words to get off the donkey and said, "Since this is the case, brother Wang, would you like to conspire with Xia He again?"

"Hahaha!"

Wang Yan laughed loudly and said quite boldly: "I'm afraid you are drunk and unconscious, and I haven't had the pleasure of drinking yet. How can Wang Yan not want to?"

"Please!"

As he said that, Xia He waved his hand and led Wang Yan to a tavern not far away. Although Wang Yan was eager to return, he was also curious about what Xia He was looking for him, so he whispered a few words to Wu Yun, and the two were the same Xia He went into the tavern together.

'Dare not to get drunk'.

The name of this tavern is a bit strange, and the interior furnishings are also unique. After entering the main entrance, you can see that there are large wine vats on all sides of the store. These wine vats are all filled with wine. There is a piece of red paper taped to the wall next to the counter, which reads:

"If you dare to get drunk, you can take your own wine and drink, and let you eat and drink." '

"I didn't dare to get drunk, so I took my own wine, two or three and one jar." '

"It's kind of interesting."

Wang Yan only felt that the person who wrote these words should be a wonderful person, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Obviously, if he really dared to get drunk in a chaotic place like Tianmaji, it would be his life, and he couldn't even leave the shop. It may be dragged to a corner.

When he had to look back, Wang Yan glanced around the store. It was already past dinner time, and there were not many customers in the store. There were only four or five tables with people eating and drinking. He just looked at one of them, who was short and stocky, with strong arms, and wearing shorts on his upper body. , the man wearing a bamboo hat seemed vaguely familiar to Wang Yan, but this man was sitting in the north corner, with his back to Wang Yan, and there was a broad-backed heavy sword half a man's height in his hand. Wang Yan compared this man with I checked all the acquaintances in my memory one by one, but found that there was no such person.

Is it an illusion?
Without waiting for Wang Yan to think about it, Xia He found an empty table, and while beckoning Wang Yan to sit down, he picked up the empty wine jar on the table and scooped two full jars into the wine tank.

"Brother Wang, please!"

Xia He didn't talk too much, he put the wine jar in front of Wang Yan, then picked up the wine jar in his hand and drank with his head up.

The two drank quickly and hurriedly, half of a jar of wine flowed onto the skirt of their clothes, but Wang Yan and Xia He didn't care. They glanced at each other and said in unison: "Happy!"

Before they finished speaking, the two of them laughed almost in unison, and the sound shook the hall, making everyone feel extremely happy.

Can be happy and happy, but there are not only the two of them in the hall, before the laughter of the two of them stops, a bald man with triangular eyes on the table behind them patted the table and said: "Gobi Mahler, why don't you let me go?" Makes people clean! Two little miscellaneous"

There were three big men sitting at the same table with the bald man, all of them with evil looks on their faces. The bald man probably felt that there were too many people, so he was not polite to curse, but before he could finish his words, Xia He suddenly held the knife in his right hand. handle.

bass!
Hearing the sound of a saber, followed by the flash of the saber, a corner of the table was missing, and three or four plates fell to the ground clangingly, but Xia He didn't turn his head or turn around, and remained calm. Leisurely and slowly put the long knife back into its sheath, and said in his mouth: "The wine shop is here to make noise, if you want to be clean, you can leave this door later, and I can send you to a place where you will be clean forever!"

Xia He's words were full of murderous intent, but the four people at the table behind him didn't even dare to fart. The bald head looked at the broken table corner and his face was covered with cold sweat, his legs were trembling like chaff.

But at this moment, the curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a graceful young woman with a red veil and a plain skirt came out, glanced at the table with a broken corner, then looked at Xia He and said lazily: "30 taels."

Xia He didn't say much, took out a silver ingot and threw it away.Uh-huh!The silver ingot passed by in the air, and the young woman stretched out her hand lazily, but caught the silver ingot firmly. A smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said sweetly: "You're so good, there's something just cooked behind you." I'll bring you a few catties of beef later."

Hearing what the young woman said, the bald man seemed to have seen a ghost. He kicked the three people next to him and said, "Let's go, hurry up."

After saying that, the four of them rushed out of the store. Xia He took a glance, then looked away, looked at Wang Yan and said, "A few low-quality goods have ruined Brother Wang's Jiu Xing for nothing."

"where."

Wang Yan shook his head, he didn't expect Xia He to be so unscrupulous in Tianmaji, he couldn't help saying: "See you this time, Brother Xia's arrogance is even better than before, Wang Yan feels ashamed."

"It's also influenced by Brother Wang. I just feel that walking in the rivers and lakes should be more casual. However, I have been in Tianmaji for some time, so I can naturally grasp the middle scale. Brother Wang doesn't have to worry about anything."

Xia He didn't change at all, going straight, like strong wine or a single sword, but his sword was now sharper and more murderous. It was so sharp that Wang Yan felt like he had to retreat a little.Thinking like this, Wang Yan didn't want to entangle any more. Anyway, the wine was over and the gossip was over, so he was ready to go straight to ask Ming Xiahe why he came.

But before Wang Yan could speak, Xia He put the sheathed long knife around his waist on the table, and said, "Brother Wang, it's been a long time since I saw you, and Xia He doesn't know how strong you are now, do you dare to try with Xia He?"

Faced with these almost provocative words, Wang Yan frowned slightly. He didn't know what Xia He meant, but with his character, he would not fail to respond.

"How to try it out?"

"Between an inch and within three moves, advance is allowed and no retreat is allowed. Whoever leaves the stool will lose."

"it is good!"

As soon as the word "good" came out of Wang Yan's mouth, he and Xia He struck at almost the same time. Xia He moved his palm into a knife and slashed across the table. At the same time, his right leg flicked like a thunderbolt. Hurry up to Wang Yan's gun, Xia He didn't hold back a bit, and attacked from top to bottom as soon as he came up.

But Wang Yan was not slow, he sent his right foot forward, and before Xia He kicked his legs to hit him directly, he twisted his hips violently, pinned his knee to the inner knee of Xia He's right leg, and let Xia He's kick kicked him off.And the fingers of his left hand turned into a sword, and the back of his hand that was holding the sword towards Xia He was a little bit jittery.

Xia He had witnessed how Wang Yan killed Wang Mocheng that day, and knew that Wang Yan had the ability to punch acupuncture points in his hand, so how could he let Wang Yan hit it, and immediately retracted the knife in his hand, and the other hand was to split the air. Hit forward with a palm.

However, Wang Yan didn't wait for Xia He's palm to unfold, he slammed his right hand on the table, only heard a muffled sound, and saw the chopsticks bouncing off the table, and dozens of chopsticks in the cylinder were thrown into the air one after another.

This moment, Xia He's rhythm was disrupted. There was an obstruction between the two people's sight. He couldn't help but retract his hands to protect himself, preparing to wait for the chopsticks to fall before making a move. However, Wang Yan raised his left hand and took the move. He passed a chopstick, then flicked his wrist, and a cold light penetrated through the gap between the thrown chopsticks. Before Xia He could react, the cold light had disappeared.

When the chopsticks were all gone, Wang Yan also put down the chopsticks in his hand, then cupped his fists at Xia He and said, "Accept."

Xia He touched his throat with a pale face, there was already a small red mark there, Xia He knew that if Wang Yan had just used a sharp knife instead of chopsticks, he would have been pierced through his throat.

"What a neat sword, Xiao Xiazi, you won't lose unjustly."

Xia He has not recovered yet, but the graceful young woman behind the counter said these words leisurely, Wang Yan couldn't help but glance at this woman, only to feel that this woman looks ordinary, but it is difficult to see the depth, she should not be a simple person Otherwise, it would be impossible to open such a tavern in Tianmaji.

"Brother Wang's sword is sharper, Xia He is convinced!"

After all, Xia He is not someone who can't afford to lose, but he is definitely depressed. After saying this, he stood up and went to the wine tank to scoop up the wine and drank a few swigs before sitting back at the table and said with a smile: "Let Brother Wang I laughed."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Brother Xia, can you tell me what you want to do with Wang Yan now?"

"of course."

After saying this, Xia He couldn't help but glanced at the fifth rhyme next to Wang Yan. Wang Yan understood what he meant and whispered a few words to the fifth rhyme. Xia He and Wang Yan, Wang Yan said again: "Before we get down to business, Wang Yan has two things to ask for advice. One is about the assassination of Kang Jianmin back then, and I don't know what the end of Qiming Building will be. Ask Brother Xia how he recognized Wang Yan."

Xia He nodded, and said: "Brother Wang was decisive in the battle at Qiming Tower, so he escaped a murder. Except for Brother Wang, none of the people in the field escaped. Li Yunyang and Kang Jianmin were both I was captured by Chen Wenyuan, and I don't know if I was alive or dead; as for Gao Li and his inmates, they were killed on the spot; and I entangled with that one-eyed, one-armed old man for nearly twenty rounds, but I couldn't escape the end of being slaughtered in the end. .

However, through that battle, I got a little understanding of the conception period warriors. Although my body was injured and my martial arts regressed, I felt that my heart and mind had improved, so I came to this South River Valley to forge ahead.

As for how I recognized Brother Wang, it's quite simple. Brother Wang's ice silk hat is unique. In addition, I have a deep memory of Brother Wang, and I can always remember his figure and back in my mind. Combined, I can recognize Brother Wang at a glance. Come. "

That's it!

Wang Yan didn't expect that the bamboo hat he specially selected turned out to be a flaw. He thought that he should change his attire when he went back this time, but what surprised Wang Yan the most was that Xia He mentioned that Chen Wenyuan had captured Li Yunyang and Li Yunyang alive one after another. Kang Jianmin.

You must know that defeating, killing, and capturing alive are each more difficult than the last. Although Li Yunyang and Kang Jianmin were both at the end of their strength that day, Chen Wenyuan was able to capture two people one after another. His strength is definitely far higher than that of Li and Kang. No wonder Chen Wenyuan will be known as the "Poisonous Scholar". Masters of this title cannot be underestimated at all.

"The two things are clear, let's talk about the business, I know that Brother Xia came to me this time for no reason."

Wang Yan didn't want to procrastinate any longer, and Xia He didn't go around and said straight to the point: "This time Xia He came to look for Brother Wang, just to join hands with Brother Wang again!"
