Jianghu chaos

After a few bangs, it was like a rainstorm rushing to slap jade, and it exploded in my ears.Several gold needles flashed by before the eyes, and all of them hit the sword without falling, and the force brought Jian Ling staggered a few steps, and he had to retreat.

Ruan Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned around in surprise, and saw Mei Qian wearing a broad robe on the roof of the restaurant, his footsteps streamed down leisurely, his wide sleeves brushed past, and several golden needles rushed towards him, sharp and sharp like the light of the sky Gold, dazzling people.

Hua Rulian flashed his figure, dodged the golden needle in the blink of an eye, and appeared beside Jian Ling.

Jian Ling narrowed her eyes: "Mei Shangxue."

Mei Qian raised his sleeves, turned back with one hand, landed in front of Ruan Xi and Ye Fushu, and proudly said: "Lingxu sect disciples, even if they commit crimes, they have their own masters to discipline them, and outsiders can't intervene."

Hua Rulian raised his eyebrows, untied the long whip around his waist and flicked it on the spot: "Lingxu sect, the sect of exiled immortals, is widely rumored in the world, today I will learn a lot from you, the ninth generation disciple!"

Mei Qian flipped his wrist, several golden needles appeared, and said indifferently: "Qingxiao embraces the mountain, and I have heard about it for a long time."

Hua Rulian curled his lips into a smile, and attacked without saying a word.

Hua Rulian is good at using the long whip, which is a way to attack and defend, and she is extremely dexterous and agile. It is even more powerful when combined with her swift body skills. Others only see her offensive like the wind, and they can't see clearly. Don't talk about coping.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the protector of the Sunset City is like a ghost, coming and going without a trace, taking a life in just a breath, and it was also called life-threatening impermanence back then.

It was also at this moment that Ruan Xi really understood that no matter who they were, the two of them had reservations when they met each other a few times before, and they did not exert their full strength until this moment.

Ruan Xi originally thought that Lingshuang's stepping on the snow and Qingxiao's approach to the mountain were the same, and they both won by being quick, but now they realized that it was the opposite.Just like at this time, Hua Ru practiced so fast that she couldn't see the moves clearly, but Mei Qian was still calm and composed, walking in the courtyard unhurriedly in the shadow of her whips all over the sky, as if she had never made a move from beginning to end, but she could feel it from time to time. To the sharp golden needle.

The thirteen stitches of Fengyue Zhiyu are sealed acupuncture points and hidden weapons. They are as fast as the wind and as dense as rain. Thirteen stitches and thirteen moves, each of which has hidden countless changes. Seeing that Mei Qian is doing it at his fingertips, he will never guess what he did. How will the sword take the slant in one step.

Ruan Xi was shocked, and finally understood the true mystery of the Lingxu School. The so-called Lingshuang stepping on the snow and the so-called sealing of thirteen acupuncture points are just superficial skills.

Even Jian Ling was shocked by this, staring at the competition between the two of them so engrossed that he almost forgot to pay attention to Ruan Xi.

The next moment, the golden needle struck at an extremely tricky angle, and he subconsciously raised his sword to block it, but unexpectedly another golden needle came through the air at some point, piercing his wrist with extreme precision.

Jian Ling felt his jaw go numb, and the hand holding the sword loosened unconsciously. Just as the hilt was out of his hand, the plain white figure flew past his eyes, and when he reappeared, there was already a hilt in his hand. Cold and dazzling sword.

Mei Qian stood high above the stone lion at the entrance of the restaurant, turned his wrist over the edge of the sword, and stroked the sword with his finger: "Please also return the scabbard to its original owner."

Hua Rulian retracted his whip, raised his face and said unwillingly: "It's a rare opponent, you only care about a sword?"

Mei Qian sneered: "If you are a rare opponent, what does it matter to me?"

"You..." Hua Rulian became angry, picked up the whip and wanted to hit him again, but was stopped by Jian Ling and shook his head.

"Master, don't forget that the city lord explained."

Hua Rulian angrily put down the whip, grabbed the scabbard and threw it over: "If the city lord hadn't ordered it, you, Mei Shangxue alone, might not be able to defeat our master and apprentice today!"

Mei Qian's expression moved slightly: "Ming Yuan?"

Hua Rulian let out a snort, turned around and left with Jian Ling, and before leaving, he glanced at Ruan Xi again, saying inexplicably, "The city lord will not break his promise. If you have the ability to walk out of the villa, we will not." I will embarrass you again."

Ruan Xi stared blankly at the two of them flying away, unable to react for a while.

Mei Qian jumped off the stone lion, retracted the sword back into its sheath, and threw it aside with his backhand.

Someone caught it, and at some point, there was a man wearing a bamboo hat in front of the restaurant. He was dressed in coarse cloth, and the bamboo hat was lowered down, covering most of his face. sword.

"What are you still doing?" Mei Qian glanced at Ruan Xi, her tone was as casual as if calling him to eat.

Ruan Xi came back to his senses, he really saw his senior brother standing in front of him, his nose was sour, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Mei Qian took a step back, as if she had seen a ghost: "Manly man, what a squirm you look like!"

Ruan Xi wiped his eyes and mumbled, "Brother..."

"Heh..." There was a chuckle, and the familiar voice seemed distant and near, "Little Sheep just survived the catastrophe, what's the matter with crying, the iron rooster doesn't hurt his back when he stands and talks."

Ye Fushu exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Xie?"

The man strode forward, threw the sword to him, and took off the bamboo hat, revealing his stubble-covered face.

This is not the first time Xie Chaohan has changed his face. Compared with the perfunctory first meeting, this time he has to pay more attention. The outline of his face is blurred by his beard, and a lot of hair is pasted on his eyebrows. , with disheveled temple hair, and something was smeared on the forehead and the corners of the eyes. He looks a lot wrinkled and looks a bit old. In addition, he is dressed in a coarse kudzu coat with patches all over the top and bottom. At first glance, he looks like an old man. Ruan Xi would not have recognized the poor and down-to-earth knight-errant, if it wasn't for his star-like eyes and brisk, playful voice.

"Brother Xie...? You, why do you..."

Xie Chaohan touched his chin, laughed and put his shoulders on his shoulders, and hooked his fingers towards the other corner: "Although Xie has lost his martial arts, he still has a brain. If he doesn't make it like this, he will be treated as a fool." A ready-made living target? Senior Duan, you don’t have to hide anymore, Little Sheep looks very hungry, since you have been entrusted to protect him well, you should treat him to a good meal, right?”

Ruan Xi looked along, and sure enough, he saw Duan Li coming out from the shadow of the street corner, looking around vigilantly, as if he was not at ease yet.

Ruan Xi was inexplicably moved and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before he could be moved for a moment, another voice suddenly sounded: "Since Mr. Ruan has already met up with his friends, why not pay the car deposit first."

The coachman at the post station leaned against the stone lion, and said in a businesslike manner, "Or are you no longer planning to hire this carriage?"

With Mei Qian and Xie Chaohan here, Ruan Xi has a lot of confidence. What's more, Hua Rulian said just now that he will not pursue it, and that he really does not need to hire a carriage. He was about to speak, but he heard Mei Qian say: "As usual, we will set off after a short rest. .”

The coachman raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Ruan promised 20 taels of gold, let's pay half of the deposit first."

Ruan Xi approached Mei Qian subconsciously: "Brother, do you have any money?"

Without squinting, Mei Qian walked into the restaurant with strides: "No."

Xie Chaohan couldn't help laughing: "The name is no money, of course he is a poor ghost."

Ruan Xi silently turned to him, and after hesitating to speak, he shifted his undisguised gaze to Duan Li: "Senior Duan, you should have money, right?"

Xie Chaohan refused: "Why don't you ask me? I'm dressed in rags, but I don't look poor, do I?"

Boss Duan Li reluctantly tore off the purse and threw it to him, his eyes followed the purse, and he didn't want to take it away for a long time.

"It's a little less... It should be enough to save some..." Ruan Xi weighed the purse, muttered, poured out a few gold coins and handed it to the driver, "Thank you."

Duan Li cursed: "That's my salary for several years, it's enough to buy a few acres of fertile land by the West Lake, you still think it's too little!"

The coachman took the money, raised his chin and said: "You guys can do whatever you want, the villain will not bother you to reminisce about the old days."

With the money in his hand, the heart that had been hanging all the way finally let go, Ruan Xi seemed to come back to life, he pulled Ye Fushu up like offering a treasure, and under Xie Chaohan's surprised eyes, he dragged her into the restaurant quickly: "Miss Ye, do you want to eat?" What? I’ve been hungry for so long, and I can’t eat greasy and fishy food, how about a bowl of shredded chicken porridge with yam and lotus seeds, and then a cup of angelica beef stew to warm my stomach?”

Xie Chaohan touched his nose and followed him into the restaurant.Little Sheep unceremoniously opened the best private room, as if he was suffocated, ordered dishes one after another, ordered all the dishes that could be named in the restaurant, and it didn't take long before the restaurant was full. big table.

Duan Li was so distressed that he had no choice but to comfort himself that the bag of money was just a temporary loan, and Ruan Xi was spending his own money, while angrily chomping down on meat and pouring down bowls full of wine, he did not forget Pour it into a portable jug, and eat without image.

Mei Qian looked at the nose and the heart, turned a blind eye to those people, and chewed slowly with one chopstick and one chopstick, eating in a gentle manner without losing his demeanor.Only Xie Chaohan propped his head and looked at them with great interest, shaking his chopsticks in his hand, waiting quietly.

After Hu Chihai had a good meal, Ye Fushu finally remembered to ask them: "Hero Mei, Mr. Xie, and this...Senior Duan, how do you know we are here? What a coincidence?"

Mei Qian raised the teacup and took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "Chaowen will reveal that you are in the south."

"Senior Duan has been inquiring, but the clues given by Zhao Wenhui are really vague, so I can only look for one place and one place." Xie Chaohan continued with a smile, "You two are also clever. You set off the fire last night and returned all the way. It is well known far and wide that it disturbed the common people, and that’s why we noticed this place.”

"I heard from those people that the Bailu Villa on the outskirts of the city seems to be the residence of a certain official." Mei Qian raised her eyes and looked straight at Ye Fushu.

Ye Fushu was taken aback.

Ruan Xi was ignorant, but also realized that something was wrong.That Bailu Villa was obviously the place where they were locked up for a day and a night, and it was another stronghold of Sunset City. It would be normal if it was as mysterious and unnoticed as the Mengjin Medical House, but on the contrary, it was the same as About the court?

And behind the court news conference, isn't it also the court?
