Atractylodes

Because of a quarrel with Lin Junyan the day before, Chong Baishu had to go alone to redeem the sword.When I walked to Baihua Restaurant, I heard the woman's voice from last night before going up the stairs, "Why are you so unreasonable, you want to grab this little thing?"

Bai Shu hurriedly went up to have a look, and saw a young woman standing with her back to him, with a slender waist and a graceful figure.Bai Shu's face showed joy, "You are the sister from yesterday!"

The woman turned her head, showing a pretty face, but her eyes were fierce, "Boy, what is the origin of your broken sword? I was being targeted here before my butt was hot."

Opposite the woman stood two men, both dressed in black, their temperament and appearance were not ordinary.Bai Shu guessed that the eldest of the two wanted to molest women from good families, how could he stand idly by in this kind of thing!Bai Shu took Xiao Taohong and hugged her in his arms, "Brothers, there may be some misunderstanding. This sword is indeed mine."

"My lord thinks this sword is very interesting. May I ask what is the relationship between you two?"

Bai Shu saw a person sitting behind the curtain, he might have a good background based on his posture, Bai Shu was a little shy, but he was a man anyway, and he couldn't just watch a woman being bullied by a group of men, so he said, "It's related to this kind of thing." Not sure, not today, maybe tomorrow.”

The girl laughed at Bai Shu's rogue spirit, "You..."

There has been silence inside.

Hmph, picking up girls is all about picking up girls and still using such old-fashioned excuses!

Bai Shu hugged her chest and said intentionally, "I know that my little peach red looks suave. If your boss just wants to inquire about other girls, just ask directly. It's a man who does things generously! Always engage in these tricks How unhappy!"

After hearing this, the two men in black took a step forward at the same time, and the atmosphere in the air was slightly tense.

The man in the curtain waved his hand, and the two men in black immediately stepped back.

"what happened?"

Seeing this posture, the woman was a little scared, Bai Shu stood in front of her, and saw the man behind the curtain approaching step by step.This is to do it yourself?Bai Shu narrowed his eyes, Xiao Taohong was ready to go in his hands.

The curtain was pulled open, Bai Shu was stunned.

The man in black clothes leaned against the door frame and stared down at the sword in his hand.

"Little Taohong? I remember you told me it was called Batian."

"..."

Lan Junrong slightly bent his eyes at the stunned Baishu, "Heavy Baishu?"

Chong Baishu woke up from the shock, "Ben... was originally called Xiao Taohong, I'm going to lie to you."

Seeing this posture, the woman instantly understood, "You two know each other?"

Lan Junrong looked at Bai Shu, "I don't just know each other, I..."

Bai Shu hurriedly stopped Lan Junrong, "He, he, he...he is my brother-in-law!"

The girl was a little surprised, "Are you married?"

Lan Junrong said, "My sister has passed away."

"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty." Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, the woman hurriedly apologized, "But, looking at you like this, could it be..." The woman suddenly pointed at Bai Zhu, "Could it be that you treated your wife badly and forced her to death! "

Bai Shu was frightened by the woman's eyes full of righteous indignation.

Lan Junrong explained, "Sister She is not blessed, she left before reaching adulthood."

Bai Shu really admired Lan Junrong's ability to describe Lan Xuan's death without changing his face.It was as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"I held a banquet inside, but my friend has something to do at the last moment. It is fate to meet each other. I wonder if the girl will show me some face?"

This is not asking Bai Shu at all.

The woman readily agreed.Bai Shu also had no choice but to sit on the stool resentfully, listening to the two chatting one after another.

It turned out that the woman was Ban Jingjing, a lady from the Jiangnan Ban family. When Lan Junrong said that he was the right envoy of Ming Lou, the other party was obviously taken aback.

Bai Shu's heart tightened suddenly, everyone knew about the killer organization Minglou Jianghu.Lan Junrong now...

The woman cast her eyes on Bai Zhu, who casually spat out the melon seeds in her mouth, "My name is Chong Bai Shu. I have no identity."

Although Ban Jingjing was very curious about Lan Junrong, she didn't ask any more questions, and the two talked about the martial arts conference.Bai Zhu peeled the prawns aside for a long time, and in the end he couldn't bear to chew them directly in his mouth.

"Here." Lan Junrong handed over a peeled shrimp.

Bai Shu glanced at Ban Jingjing with a guilty conscience.

Bai Zhu ate a whole plate of prawns at that meal, and Lan Junrong said goodbye to the two of them very normally, without saying a single extra word, and Bai Zhu, who was in a stable state throughout the whole thing, felt that he was hallucinating.

In the past three years, he had fantasized about the long-lost reunion with Lan Junrong countless times, probably hugging and crying bitterly saying that you are still alive.

What makes people sad is that the reality is extremely cruel. He and Lan Junrong didn't talk as much as he did with a strange woman.

At night, Bai Zhu was sleeping in the room when someone broke in without knocking on the door.Bai Shu turned over and found that it was Lin Jin.

Lin Jin said mysteriously, "I'll tell you something, don't get excited."

Bai Shu: "Yes."

"People from the Lan family met Lan Junrong."

Baishu: "..."

Lin Jin's eyes widened, "Have you seen him?"

Baishu: "..."

"You... what did he tell you?"

"Nothing was said."

"Impossible, don't try to hide it from me!"

Bai Shu said impatiently, "He's been talking to a woman from the beginning to the end, and I can say nothing in less than three sentences to him! What do you want me to say!"

Lin Jin frowned slightly, "Why are you so angry? I'm not... I heard that he joined the Ming Tower."

Bai Shu pressed her head: "Yes."

"You know that too?"

"I heard what he told the woman."

"That……"

"Okay, didn't you just say what happened to the Lan family when they met Lan Junrong? The Lan family is fine."

"It's okay, some people who wanted to rush up were stopped by their own people."

"That's good." Bai Shu said, "Don't keep looking for death if you have nothing to do."

"Xiaobai, didn't you have a good relationship with Lan Junrong at that time? You should persuade him! Now he..."

"When did I have a good relationship with him!" Bai Shu stopped Lin Jin's words, "Tomorrow is the first competition, I want to rest early."

Lin Jin knew that the matter of the Lan family had always been a deadlock in Bai Shu's heart, so he finally sighed and turned to leave the room.

In the annual martial arts conference, red cloth is laid out on the arena, and heroes from all walks of life are in high spirits.

Bai Shu was a little interested at first, but eventually got bored after watching too much.Everyone else was like this, except Lin Junyan, the son of the Lin family who was at the side, was so excited from the beginning to the end, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

"My God! It's amazing! What was his move just now!"

"Hero! Good man! Handsome! Ya! Hit!"

Lin Junyan likes to slap his thighs when he is excited, but he doesn't like to slap his own thighs, and he doesn't dare to slap Bai Shu's thighs, so Xiaoluzi became a carrier for him to vent his excitement.

"Is there something wrong with that referee?" Bai Shu vaguely saw the anger on the faces of the people around him.

Lin Junyan said, "The elder brother who was very good at playing with the whip in the last game beat his opponent one more time, so he invited him down."

The rule of the first round of martial arts competition is whether it is with the sword or the pear flower needle, whoever attacks the opponent three times first will be judged as the winner. The purpose is to prevent a deathmatch.Although...the competition stipulates that concealed weapons cannot be used.

"It's probably something tricky, but this kind of thing is normal. This is only the first round, and those who are capable will not be eliminated anyway."

Lin Junyan turned his head and looked at Bai Shu angrily.

Bai Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Junyan's angry little face, "What do you see me doing? What's wrong?"

"Hmph!" Lin Junyan turned his face away.

Bai Shu was slightly amused, and soon it was his turn to appear.The man on the opposite side was in his early twenties, with blue clothes, fair complexion, good-looking but smelly face.

Bai Shu said respectfully, "Offended."

Most of the contestants in the first round were at the vegetable market level, and the guy opposite was just pretending to be cool.Bai Shu drew the first sword on his sleeve, the man became a little anxious immediately, the moves in his hands were completely out of order, Bai Shu took advantage of the situation and drew the second sword.Just when the third sword touched the man's clothes again, the man gritted his teeth and threw out something.

Unexpectedly, this hidden weapon was launched very well, with impeccable speed and angle, much better than the sword used by this man.Bai Shu wanted to applaud, but there was a sharp pain in his left shoulder, as if someone had broken a bone.

Seeing this, the heavy family members in the audience immediately protested, "Foul! He used a hidden weapon!"

The referee glanced at the two strangely shaped knives on Baishu's shoulders, "This weapon is not in the list of hidden weapons, the game continues."

Bai Shu glared at the referee viciously.

Referee: "Threat the referee, warn once!"

Bai Shu rolled his eyes, and asked the young master opposite him, "Brother, I just scratched your clothes just now, your knife saw blood, how could you do this to me?"

The man raised his head with a cold expression, "I didn't thank you."

Bai Zhu smiled sinisterly.The boy on the opposite side felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and panicked, "What are you going to do?"

Bai Shu leaned forward, Xiao Taohong was dazzling under the scorching sun, so fast that people couldn't see his movements clearly.

Bai Shu put his sword back into its sheath, and the audience fell silent.

The jade belt on the young man's waist fell to the ground, his clothes were exposed to reveal the white skin on his chest, and his face turned from cold to flushed, "You...you rascal!"

Bai Shu glanced at it, and said disgustedly, "There's nothing to expect."

"you!"

The man wanted to fight again but was stopped by someone, "Xiyao!" He stared at Bai Shu viciously for a while and had to step down angrily.

After the referee announced that Bai Shu had won, Zhong's family rushed up to check on his injuries.Seeing the shape of the hidden weapon, Lin Jin exclaimed, "No, it might have a barb."

Bai Shu's face turned pale immediately, and he wanted to drag that kid out and whip him.He was already afraid of pain, so if he pulls out this thing, he will faint from the pain.

"This thing must be pulled out as soon as possible!" Lin Jin made a gesture to pull it out, but Bai Shu quickly stopped him, "Big... big brother! There are too many people here, I will go to the back and pull it out myself."

Lin Jin looked around, if Bai Shu pulled it out here, he would lose face to Chong's family again.So he handed the bandage wound medicine to Bai Zhu, and said, "Be careful yourself."

There were two knives on Bai Shu's shoulders, which attracted the attention of others. It was not until he turned into a small forest that no one could see him that Bai Shu bared his teeth and took a deep breath.He hid behind a tree and found a branch to bite on, took a deep breath, and put his hand tremblingly on the handle of the knife.

fingers trembling...

I mustered up the courage to pull the handle out a little...

"Ah... Mother..."

Blood spurted out from his shoulder immediately, Bai Zhu felt dizzy and dizzy, he didn't know whether it was from pain or fright, so he immediately stopped. "No." Wiping off his cold sweat, he decided to go back and let Lin Jin knock him out before|pulling him out.After thinking this way, he wrapped the bandage around the hilt of the sword to show a low profile, patted his butt and prepared to go back.

Before he got out of the woods, a person walked towards him.
