Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Lixia has passed, and it is almost Xiaoman.

There are more sunny days in the south. Although there are occasional torrential rains, the sun can also make people feel depressed when the sun is in full bloom.

When the weather is hot, the flow of people coming and going increases a lot.The transactions and affairs between hawkers, pawns and passers-by are also busy.

Therefore, the Shunfeng Escort Bureau in Qingzhou City is crowded with people. Since the beginning of spring, there have been more objects that need to be escorted by the Escort Bureau. In summer, the business of escort agencies is even more prosperous.

It is said that Ding Fan, the head of the Shunfeng Escort Agency, is now over forty years old. He has been a teacher since he was a child, and he is very good at playing the rattan snake double whip.However, when he was weak, he gradually took over the family's ancestral bodyguard business. Over the past few decades, the Shunfeng Bodyguard Bureau has become famous throughout Jiangnan.

Even in this troubled world, the thieves who come and go see the escort flags of the SF Escort, nine out of ten, and they have to be polite and show face—and this kind of reputation has won the trust of many people in troubled times.

So even a month ago, the city of Qingzhou was suddenly under martial law.

It is said that the prefect of Qingzhou City lost an important thing. He carefully questioned everyone who entered and exited the city wall, and from time to time suddenly rushed into places where people gathered, saying "ordered to search for fugitives"——

The people in the city were disturbed, and the transaction volume of various shops dropped a lot.

However, the order received by SF Escort was only slightly lower than usual, and the impact was minimal.

On this day, a group of returning men and horses approached the entrance of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau. They were all wearing blue blouses, black and white leggings with water ripples, thin-soled fast boots, and a waist knife slung across their waists. Dangdang led the horse and walked back.

The leading bodyguard went into the bodyguard bureau first, handed back the bodyguard flag, stamped it, and it was regarded as closing the order.He took a few bags of silver and went out to distribute it to the bodyguards.

The rule of Shunfeng Escort Bureau is that for a single knot, the wages are calculated according to the difficulty of the escort and the size of the itinerary.Of course, food and lodging are included on weekdays, and most of the escorts who walk the darts have been in this business for a long time.

It's just that life and death are impermanent on the road of darts, and you can't count the monthly or quarterly results like ordinary shop guys. Walking on the tip of the knife has always been a group of people who are drunk today and only know how to enjoy themselves while not knowing the future.

The bodyguard guys were overjoyed when they got their wages this time, and the fifty or so people who had gathered at the gate of the bodyguard suddenly dispersed—one after another went to the famous Hongliu Lane in the city or wine shops and gambling houses. up.

And one of the young men who was originally standing in the middle of the team—compared to other escorts, he is not tall, he can be called thin and slender—he followed a small group of people to the largest escort in the city. Go to Yongsheng Casino.

As soon as you enter the store, you can only hear a group of people gathering at the various gaming tables, and the sound of betting big and small can be heard!

Shouting and cursing, some laughed out loud when they won, and others slapped the table red-eyed and made trouble when they lost-every time this kind of thing happened, the lady boss ordered the waiter to beat him up and go out.

At the end, he also left a sentence: "Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. If you can't afford to lose, don't enter this gambling house."

Anyway, with so many people gathering to gamble, the gambling shop made money not bad for these few gamblers who couldn't afford to lose.

"Hey, this game of dice is new? I'm betting!"

As soon as the little escort entered the door, his sharp eyes saw that a nearby table had not yet been opened, and immediately squeezed into the crowd, and pressed the newly earned money on the "small", and heard the people next to him laughing:

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoxia? Are you back from the dart?"

This little escort is none other than Xia Yun.

Xia Yun had been running outside with the escort company for nearly a month, and his skin was also slightly tanned by the early summer sun, which happened to be the wheat color of the newly planted wheat seedlings grown outside in autumn.

She listened to other people's questioning, showed her white teeth, and replied with a smile: "That's right, this trip took thirteen days, but I'm exhausted."

As soon as she said this, a strong man with a foreign accent raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to see a little girl in this Yongsheng gambling house...... Madam, you will not let go of even the female relatives just to earn that little money." ?”

From the accent, it should be a passerby who just came in from outside the city.

For the convenience of walking the darts, Xia Yun naturally wore the uniform men's clothes of the darts.But she didn't deliberately pretend to be a man, she pouted, and before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the lady boss.

The proprietress just raised her eyelids when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Look at what you said, as long as there are capable people in my gambling shop, all visitors are customers. Why, are you only allowed to gamble?" , Don't allow our female relatives to play two games?

You must know that this gambling shop is still run by a mere girl. If you don't take it seriously, you don't want to enter this shop. "

There is only one gambling shop in Qingzhou City. The proprietress’s good business methods have merged all other gambling shops in the city since she opened the shop. In a few years, the family is the only one and has a lot of connections with the government. Dare to mess with this Yongsheng Casino!

It is inevitable that there will be some local snakes in the speech!Even if you are a mighty dragon outside the city, when you enter this city, you have to follow the rules of the people.

"Yes, yes, don't look at Miss Xiaoxia's family, she is an old man who has been in the escort agency for more than ten years without being familiar with her skills." The spectator next to him came out to smooth things over, and explained with a smile, but his words were also inconsistent. Consciously favoring acquaintances.

"Oh? Could it be that there is no one in the SF Escort?" The strong man still didn't believe it.

"Let me tell you this...Xiao Xia travels to many places on weekdays, and knows many people in the city by face. A month ago, Xiao Xia suddenly found Ding Biao, the head of the Shunfeng Escort Bureau. He said that he was used to living a life without a second meal, and he didn't want to be an individual traveler, so he wanted to join Ding Biaotou and go darts with him.

Although Ding Biaotou also knew Xiao Xia's temperament in normal times, he was also in a dilemma because there were no female escorts in the darts before.But the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes... how can they pay so much attention.

Ding Biaotou thought about it and asked Xiao Xia to fight against the old man who had been running the dart for 20 years in the bureau. He said that he won and gave Xiao Xia a job as a dart. "

The man finished speaking in one breath, feeling his mouth was dry, he begged for a bowl of herbal tea from the proprietress, took several sips before continuing:

"Original Escort Ding wanted Xiao Xia to give up after knowing the difficulties - after all, age and experience and the difference between men and women are there, so he obviously declined. Guess what happened?"

The man slammed the gambling table, "Xiao Xia really singled out the old man who walked the darts in the court, and he played a left-handed sword so beautifully! After fighting for thirty or forty moves, he finally won the old man. The man's weapon!

Tsk tsk tsk, the head of escort Ding kept his promise right now, and now after a few rounds of escorts, Xiao Xia didn't make any mistakes.The way I see it—maybe I'll be promoted to the head of the dart head when I turn around! "

Xia Yun smiled, "You're joking, but after a few escorts, there are many people in the bureau who are better than me."

"Oh, the left-handed sword?" The brawny man grasped the key words in the man's words, and laughed loudly, "I have been single-handedly Li Si for so many years and have never seen a left-handed sword! Now that I heard it, I want to ask for advice!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in Yongsheng Casino looked this way——

There are all kinds of gambling in the casino, but it is rare to see such a challenge like this!

As soon as the strong man who called himself Li Si made a sound, the common people, who seldom saw swordsmen fighting each other, became interested, and all of them booed for a while: "Xiao Xia! Answer him!"

Xia Yun heard the booing of the whole hall, with a smile, rolled his eyes, and whispered a few words in the proprietress's ear, then walked in front of Li Si, raised his eyebrows,

"Success! It turns out that you are the one-handed Li Si... I have been walking darts these days, but I have heard of a knight-errant who roams the south of the Yangtze River.

There is a martial arts platform in Yongsheng Escort Bureau - although it has not been used for a long time, today is just a chance to bask in the sun!

I don't think it's interesting to play singles, so let's just play a game, what do you guys think? "

"it is good!"

As soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, the onlookers who didn't think it was a big deal applauded, and the proprietress took the opportunity to set up a situation——

Li Shengxia loses, Xia wins and Li loses, and the two play a tie for three rounds.

For a while, the sound of betting on treasure was endless.

Seeing Xia Yun's straightforwardness, Li Si looked at Xia Yun with admiration even more, and asked back, "It's okay to set up a game, but you have to make it clear in advance, is it hard attack, soft attack, or literary or martial arts?"

"What do you mean?" A layman who practiced martial arts heard it and couldn't help asking.

"Hey, I remember that old Zhou Tou mentioned it in his storytelling..." Another person frowned and recalled: "There are different ways of saying martial arts in the north and the south. Hard hacking and soft hacking are called in the south. It is said that...the hard hacking is about one Standing still, the light is beaten by the other according to the agreed number, and then it is reversed, and so on, until one party admits defeat.

And the soft hack is about doing it at the same time. Whether you are empty-handed or holding a weapon depends on the prior agreement between the two parties.

Wen fight is much quieter, both sides show their ability to dodge and jump, do not use poisonous hands, and do not take off their long clothes; in contrast, martial arts is to sign a life and death certificate. The dead don't need to pay for their lives. "

"It's so particular." The audience wondered.

"I don't have the money to make up the money." Xia Yun joked. After all, it was just a martial arts competition, so how could he really put his life on the line, "I think it's better to just softly hack... just to experience the power of a single-handed sword."

Li Si nodded, agreeing.

Mrs. Ren had already set up the situation, so she held a three-foot-long red-tasseled broadsword with its sheath in her hand, and took the lead on the stage.

Xia Yun glanced left and right, and habitually took away the waist knives uniformly issued by the Escort Bureau, but realized that he had already unloaded the weapon and put it in the Escort Bureau when he was at the entrance of the Escort Bureau.

For a while, there was no weapon with him.

She rubbed her nose in embarrassment, glanced around, and found that there was a gray weapon rack next to the competition platform, pulled out a narrow-backed broadsword, weighed it in her hand, jumped onto the competition platform, and bowed her hands .

The people below have already started betting.

The proprietress saw people betting [-]/[-] on one side to win or lose, and thinking about what Xia Yun had whispered in her ear before, she smiled and took Xia Yun's bet money from the dice place before, and put it on the "tie" table.

Seeing Xia Yun say "offend", he rushed towards Li Si's direction like lightning!

At this time, two people wearing Malanpo straw hats led two horses to the door of the Eight Immortals Building in Qingzhou City.

"Miss, you have to travel so much, why don't you just fill your stomach and rest here." The slightly taller male guard looked at the gold-rimmed plaque and said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Beside him, a young girl's voice sounded, it was clear and clear, faintly carrying the excitement of first entering the market.
