Master of the rivers and lakes

180 - Two Strong Enemies
night.

No stars, no moon, dark clouds and high winds.

The courtyard was brightly lit, and the closed door reflected the candlelight inside the room, while two groups of people stood clearly in the courtyard outside the door.

On one side are Luoyan Zhuang guards who are guarding with horizontal sticks, and on the other are Wen Qing and Gu Zhen who are dressed in white clothes.

And Luoyan Village didn't only have stick guards, Su Dongchuan not only sent Gao Zhijie to welcome the bride, but also secretly sent his confidants.

This matter was beyond the expectation of Gu Zhen and others, which is why there is a confrontation now.

That middle-aged Wen Tu was dressing up as one of the masters, the military advisor of Luoyan Village, Zhu Chao known as the 'death-killing scholar'.

At this moment, he was standing on the abandoned rockery and humming in a low voice. He took out the jug from his arms and poured it for himself. After a few sips, he raised the jug, smiled at Gu Zhen who was standing with his hands behind his back, and said "I'm a guest from afar. Now that I'm here, why don't you come and have a drink with me? Why bother to fight and kill?"

As soon as Zhu Chao's words fell, he took another sip of wine, and then there was a strange laughter like a night owl from his mouth.

The laughter stopped, and he suddenly turned into a figure and shot down like a sharp arrow, and landed on the ground, but it was as light as four taels of cotton.

But Zhu Chao jumped down directly from the rockery. As soon as he fell, he took the folding fan pinned to his waist, and with a light flick, the folding fan unfolded.

There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face, he stared at Gu Zhen and Wen Qing, and said, "It's the fault of my lower eyes, I didn't notice it before, but now it looks a little familiar, Could it be that the two are Gu Zhen, head sect Gu and Miss Wen Qingwen from the Linshan School?"

Gu Zhen stretched out his hand to stop Wen Qing, he stretched his body forward and cupped his fists, and said, "It's right here."

Zhu Chao's owl-like laughter sounded again, and he laughed loudly: "Sure enough, he is indeed the number one person who is famous in the world recently, with a brilliant swordsmanship, and these stick guards are all trained by me at Luoyan Village. You teamed up with Sect Leader Gu and Miss Wen, but you retreated steadily, it seems that after I go back, I have to claim my name as the owner of the villa, so that people can train them well."

Gu Zhen said: "It's easy to say."

Zhu Chao waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Master Gu is not studying martial arts in Linshan, what is he here for?"

Gu Zhen shrugged and said, "What are you doing? Isn't it obvious?"

Zhu Chao walked forward and said, "Why is head Gu like this? The Kang and Su families are married, but head Gu, as an outsider, came to rob the bride, and he is not afraid of being laughed at when he speaks out."

Wen Qing snorted coldly: "Marriage? That sounds nice."

Zhu Chao shook his head and said: "Miss Wen's words are wrong. Regarding the matter of the Kangsu family, the owner of my family's estate is getting married, and Miss Kang's family promised herself. Isn't it a good thing to be difficult?

If the two of you came from afar to ask for a wedding drink, I think the owner of the villa will also receive you in person, but if the two of you want to fight and kill on such a day, I'm afraid it's not good, right? "

Gu Zhen and Wen Qing did not answer with a sullen face. They knew that it was impossible to directly snatch the bride away. Just now, someone among the stick guards sent out a signal, which meant that Gao Zhijie was coming back.

Gu Zhen and Wen Qing sneaked in under the cover of night. They wanted to quickly deal with the stick guards at the door, so they took Kang Yuzhen away, but they didn't expect that the stick guards' combined attack skills were so powerful. Even Gu Zhen and Wen Qing could not defeat them together. .

At the critical moment, several strong winds came from the rockery. Fortunately, Gu Zhen always paid attention to his surroundings so that he was not injured by hidden weapons.

And from the hidden weapon technique, he knew that the person who came was not weak. It wasn't until the person appeared on the rockery that Gu Zhen knew that the person who came was the military advisor of Luoyan Village, the 'death-killing scholar' Zhu Chao.

With Zhu Chao's arrival, Gu Zhen did not act rashly, because Bai Yujing had done homework for the two of them before coming, and Luoyan Village could gain such a high reputation in just a few years, it could not be separated from its owner Su Dongchuan, the "Tiantian stick", and even more so. Not to mention Su Dongchuan's military adviser Zhu Chao who has followed him since he started his career.

Although Gao Zhijie can be called the second expert in Luoyan Village, Gao Zhijie joined later, and his status is far behind Zhu Chao, and Zhu Chao's strength is not weak, at least higher than Gu Zhen, so Gu Zhen dare not take it easy hands on.

That's how it is now.

Seeing that Gu Zhen didn't reply, Zhu Chao continued: "The two of you have made a good plan, let people create a situation outside, hold down the senior manager, and then come here to forcibly take away the bride. If it wasn't for the owner, don't worry. , let me follow you secretly, I'm afraid the bride will be taken away by you."

Gu Zhen said: "Man is not as good as God."

As soon as Gu Zhen's words fell, everyone present could hear the sound of horseshoes outside the courtyard, rushing towards them like raindrops.

Zhu Chao waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's still pretty fast, if I'm trapped and can't come back, I'm really not sure that I can win against the two of you working together."

Of course, Gu Zhen wouldn't take Zhu Chao's words seriously. Now that he was no longer around Linshan, it could be said that none of the martial arts forces around Linshan could win against Gu Zhen.

But it's different when you get out of the Three Mountains. This is not a place where martial arts are not obvious. Like other places in Zhongzhou, there are as many martial arts people as a cow's hair, and naturally there are many martial arts masters.

The sound of horseshoes suddenly stopped, and only one person said loudly: "It is still thoughtful of the owner, let you Zhu Chao follow secretly, if I know you are there, I will not rush over."

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Zhijie had entered through the door, dressed in a hurry, and holding his famous nine-section whip in one hand.

Zhu Chao raised his eyebrows, laughed loudly and said, "If you, Senior Manager, have any objections to this arrangement, you can go to the owner of the villa and tell him that you don't need to be weird here, and you should first solve the troubles in front of you."

Gao Zhijie came to Zhu Chao and talked lightly: "Gao doesn't need Mr. Zhu to teach me how to do things."

Zhu Chao just smiled and didn't answer, but suddenly stared at the human who followed Gao Zhijie and said, "Bai Yujing and Xiao Lianjun?"

Gao Zhijie came in first, and when Gao Zhijie came in, Bai Yujing and Xiao Lianjun followed him.

Zhu Chao's words reached Bai Yujing's ears, Bai Yujing's eyes jumped, his expression seemed anxious, as soon as he entered the door, he came directly to Gu Zhen's side, and said, "Brother Gu, what's going on?"

Gu Zhen shook his head, Xiao Lianjun looked at Zhu Chao and snorted, "I didn't expect you, a sinister villain, to come."

Zhu Chao said with a smile: "I can't judge Miss Xiao, why, it turns out that Mr. Bai and Miss Xiao are here to destroy the marriage between Kangsu and Su?
I just said, Master Gu devoted himself to practicing martial arts in Linshan, so why did he come here to ruin his marriage? It turned out that it was because of the two of you.

The two of you did this, did the two seniors Bai Xiao know? "

Xiao Lianjun stared at him for a long time and said: "Do you know that I want you, a villain, to take care of me? I want to tear out your ribs now! We are here to steal the bride today. If we want to fight, we will come. Who is afraid of whom?" "

Regarding Xiao Lianjun's anger towards Zhu Chao, Gu Zhen couldn't understand, turned his head and asked Bai Yujing in a low voice.

Bai Yujing whispered: "When Lianjun walked out of Pingyang for the first time, he suffered a loss from Zhu Chao, and he still remembers it now."
