Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 16 Conflict
"Boy, waiter, hurry up, get some food, feed the men's horses, and prepare six rooms. We want to stay in the hotel." Inside the Pengyue Inn, a group of soaked and embarrassed men pushed in the door. , one of them, a tall and thick bearded man, shouted loudly.
"Okay, you'll be waiting later." When the store owner saw so many people wanting to stay in the store, he couldn't help but smile. He quickly ordered his men to lead the horses outside to the backyard, and then he came in front of everyone.
"Sir, what kind of food would you like? Our steamed sea bass and braised pig's trotters are both top notch, and our signature dish, black-bone chicken and white phoenix, is guaranteed to be delicious."
"Okay, just watch it!" The bearded man waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and bring some pots of warm wine."
"Okay, we'll be there soon." The store owner responded and ordered the people to get ready. How could he not see that these people are just gangsters? They are big and rough, but they are the best fat sheep. .
This group of people is naturally Tang Ning's group. They have been traveling for more than a month since they left the caravan. It had been raining heavily for the past few days and the place was remote, so everyone had to spend the night in a ruined temple they passed by. Fortunately, they finally arrived in the town today, found an inn, and finally had a good night's sleep.
"Hey! This damn weather is really freezing." One person complained.
"Hall Master Li, how far is it to Ningping Town?" Tang Ning asked, shaking off the water stains on her sleeves.
Ningping Town is the junction of Wu and Chu, and their destination is exactly there.
"At this rate, it will arrive in more than ten days."
"Store, prepare the guest rooms." A shout came from outside, and then a group of seven or eight people walked in. Like Tangning and others, they were all in a state of utter disarray.
"May I ask some of our guests how many rooms they need?" The store owner stepped forward and asked.
"Nonsense, haven't you seen the seven of us? Of course there are seven rooms." A man said rudely
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "But the shop only has four rooms. A few guests over there just asked for six. Why don't you be a bit aggrieved and squeeze in a little bit?"
"We will pay double the money to free up seven rooms for us first."
"Then, I will discuss with the guest officials to see if they are willing to give up their rooms."
The store owner walked up to Tang Ning and others: "Gentlemen, these guests need seven rooms. Do you think you can give up three?"
Before he could speak, everyone had already heard, Li Jinmian said: "Shopkeeper, you are ignorant. You opened the door to do business, so there must be a first-come-first-served basis! We came first, and there are so many people, how can we... Give them the room."
Before the store owner could answer, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the crowd and bowed his hands to everyone: "This friend, this is Mu Pingbo of Four Seasons Villa. I came here on an important matter by order of my father. It's already late today. The heavy rain has not stopped, and there is only one inn within a few miles. I would like to express my gratitude to you, and the food and accommodation for you will be borne by us. "
Four Seasons Villa is well-known in the Chu Kingdom. It specializes in forging weapons. Almost all the magic weapons that are famous in the world are made by Four Seasons Villa. Its owner Mu Chaobo is one of the four great masters of the Chu Kingdom. Known as a man with iron hands and a stone heart.
Although Mu Pingbo spoke modestly, his expression was very arrogant, looking down at everyone.
"It turns out he is the young master of Four Seasons Villa, and we are the disciples of the caravan." Li Jinmian stood up and cupped his fists in return, but looked at Tang Ning.
He was only assisting Tang Ning. Of course, Tang Ning had to make the final decision on this matter, and he didn't want to offend Mu Pingbo. If there was a friction, he wouldn't be able to explain it, so it would be perfect to leave it to Tang Ning.
"Master Mu Shao also saw it. The twelve of us only need six rooms. If we give up three rooms, it is really not enough room. I hope you will forgive me." Tang Ning said.
Mu Pingbo frowned.
"Who do you think you are? You are so shameless. Our young master has already spoken, and you can't help it." Seeing his displeasure, the big man behind Mu Pingbo shouted loudly, and passed Mu Pingbo's heavy hand into an eagle. It grabbed Tang Ning like a claw, and its speed was so fast that there was a hint of wind.
The sound of shouts and shouts continued to sound. When the caravan disciples saw that this man was about to attack if they disagreed, they drew their swords out of their sheaths. Naturally, they could see that this man's palms were thick and steady, which was different from ordinary people. When he took action, his muscles and bones were prominent, and his temples were slightly bulging. It's clearly the sign of the Iron Claw's great success.
Tang Ning didn't move, her sword had been unsheathed.
There was no sound of swords clashing or tables and chairs clashing. The hall instantly became quiet, and a few caravan disciples even kept drawing their swords.
The big man was only one step away from Tang Ning. His hands were like eagle claws and he was motionless. What was in front of him was an iron sword that looked even worn out, only three inches away from his eyebrows.
Cold sweat overflowed from his forehead and dripped down his cheeks to the ground. He could almost hear the slight sound of sweat dripping to the ground.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning, from the moment he took action to the current confrontation.
The weather these days was really bad, and he was also very depressed, so after hearing the disrespectful tone of the boy in front of him, he couldn't help but take action, trying to dispel the depression that had been weighing on his heart these days, even though he had encountered it before. He had done this before in similar situations, but this time he really wanted to teach these juniors a lesson.
As a martial arts player who has been famous for many years, he understands that this time he has encountered a tough situation.
A drop of bright red blood flowed down from his forehead, and the uncontrollable and overflowing sword energy scratched his skin.
He suddenly felt a little scared. If he hadn't stopped instinctively just now, he might have been dead now.
Amid everyone's shocked looks, Tangning put his sword back into its scabbard. He didn't want to get involved in unnecessary disputes, and more importantly, he didn't want to cause more killings.
"Presumptuous." The boy in brocade shouted.
The big man quickly retreated behind him, only to realize that cold sweat had soaked his back.
"I'm not strict with you. I've offended everyone with my reckless temper. I hope you won't take offense. I will punish you severely if you turn around."
"Master Mu, we can't give up the room. Please find another way." Tang Ning said.
"Dare I ask this brother's name?" Mu Pingbo said, cupping his fists at him.
"This is Tangning."
"Thank you, Brother Tang, for your mercy. I'm really sorry for bumping into Brother Tang just now. We should find another inn and say goodbye." After Mu Pingbo said that, he turned around and led everyone away.
"Hey, why are you looking at me? Sit down! Eat, have a good sleep, and hurry up and get on your way." Tangning looked up and found everyone staring at her.
Only then did everyone realize that he had lost his composure and sat down one after another. They just looked at him with more awe than before.
Originally, everyone was very dissatisfied with Director Tang Ning, thinking that the assistant manager was nepotistic, but he didn't show anything outstanding along the way. The most talked about thing was how long it would take to get to Ningping.
But the sword just now really shocked everyone. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the sword energy came out vertically and horizontally, as fast as thunder and lightning. The strength of this sword alone had already suppressed everyone.
"Dear guests, our store is a small business and we earn hard-earned money. Please be merciful!" the store owner said carefully while holding the dishes.
He had seen everything just now. Unexpectedly, the two groups drew their swords and met each other when they had a disagreement. Fortunately, they did not start fighting. Otherwise, how could his small shop withstand the torment? As for the "slaughter" he originally wanted But I didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
"Don't worry, your money will not be short."
"That's good, that's good. Eat slowly, gentlemen. The room is upstairs and has been tidied up."
After everyone had eaten, they went upstairs to have a rest. Gu Chengqian and Tang Ning shared a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Chengqian said excitedly: "Wow, Tangning. What you did just now was so powerful. I didn't even see how you did it. Didn't you notice that they were peeking at her while they were eating? What about you! Originally they were very dissatisfied with us and said that the gang leader was unfair. But now it's better and no one will dare to say that again.
Tangning smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the man was too careless. If he was on guard, I might not be able to control him so easily."
………
Mu Pingbo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, feeling quite uneasy. The scene that happened at Peng Yue Inn kept disturbing his mind. The caravan actually sent such a master, which made him wonder if the news had been leaked. It was not that he was suspicious, it was just something. The stakes are too high to make any mistakes, otherwise the entire Four Seasons Villa will be destroyed.
Knock-tat-tat, knocking came intermittently. He opened the door, and there stood an old man with a white beard and a green shirt outside.
"Uncle Master." Mu Pingbo bowed respectfully.
"The young master asked me to come over, but what's the matter?" the old man asked.
"Uncle Shicai saw it. This person named Tang Ning has such a high swordsmanship, but I have never heard of this person before. It's such a coincidence that he appeared here at this time. I'm worried that the caravan got it. News? Do you want to report it to your father?"
"Young Master is too arrogant." The old man said with a smile: "If the news is really leaked, I'm afraid it will be Cui Yilin. Although the young man's swordsmanship is high, his sword energy has not yet reached the level of proficiency, and he cannot control it freely. According to me, Look, the young master's skill is not inferior to that of him. He can endure the anger for a while and avoid the sharp edge for a while. If the master knew about it, he would definitely be relieved.
Mu Pingbo smiled bitterly and said, "Am I such a playboy in the eyes of my uncle? Although I am a little arrogant, that is all in the past. And for such a big matter, of course I have to put the overall situation first."
"It seems that the young master's hardships in recent years have not been in vain. The young master has indeed been too arrogant in the past. Otherwise, I would not be willing to take you to the land of Mobei and suffer the pain of training your heart and bones. I only have your bloodline. He places all his hopes on you. He only hopes that the young master can transcend the mortal world and accomplish what he has wanted to do but failed to do in his life. "
"I know, Uncle Master. In fact, I once saw those immortals flying into the sky and escaping to the earth in Mobei, and I also understand that everything in the mortal world is just a handful of loess to them, no matter how powerful they are, Princes are still self-pitying and self-deprecating pawns. In their eyes, they are all slightly larger ants. Only by becoming one of them can you truly control your own destiny. "
"The young master is very smart. In fact, he has long dismissed the suspicion that the news has been leaked. Inviting me here is just to use my words to strengthen his heart. It's no wonder. After all, the opportunity to join the immortal family is right in front of you. Some soldiers are also human beings. It’s normal.”
"Thank you, uncle, for your guidance."
"Master, please be at ease! This is information that I have obtained after more than 20 years of hard work. Not to mention the caravan, even in the villa, only you and me know about it. Just now, I have sent people to monitor them. "
"Uncle Master, thank you for your trouble."
"I have been in the villa for more than forty years. The young master can be regarded as the one I have watched since I was a child. I will rely on my old boss to say a few words. If this goes well and the young master joins the immortal sect, I would like to ask the young master to restrain his arrogant temper. This This is what the master is most worried about. After all, I can still take care of you in this world, but when I go to the Immortal Family, everything depends on the young master. The so-called arrogance does not bring any real benefits, but will only lead to success. When there is more to do, a truly capable person will be as calm as a lake even if he has thunder in his chest.”
"My nephew has taken note of it."
