Jianghu is so big

Jincheng is located in the northwest, not as tranquil and elegant as Jiangnan.Although it has entered summer, when the long wind is wrapped in gravel and blows head-on, it still hurts people's eyelids.Zhu Yanyin bought a gauze scarf from a shop by the street, and covered her head and face like a local, only revealing her narrow eyes, and asked in a low voice, "When will we see the miracle doctor?"

Zhao Mingchuan replied that he would have to wait another seven or eight days, or seventeen or eight days, or twenty-seven or eight days.

Zhu Yanyin: "..."

Zhao Ming preached: "Master Jiang's whereabouts are uncertain, but since he promised to come to the martial arts conference, he will definitely not miss the appointment. It just so happens that Jincheng is also busy recently, so let's take a tour of the mountains and rivers and relax."

While talking, another gust of wind howled through the city, and the bookstall next to it was too late to clean up, and a few pieces of paper were blown up, covering the face of Second Young Master Zhu accurately.

"Ah!" Zhu Xiaosui hurriedly pulled it off for him, looking at the blue-faced fangs on the top, with disgust on his face, "What kind of dirty thing is this?"

"The latest portrait of the leader of the Demon Cult." The vendor hurried over to clean it up, and introduced it with a smile on his face, "Would you like a picture?"

Zhu Yanyin was surprised: "Is there a market for this product?"

Zhao Mingchuan explained from the side: "The leader of the martial arts alliance has issued a Jianghu order, and any information about Chitian can be exchanged for a large reward."

Chi Tian is the leader of the Demon Cult that everyone is going to crusade this time, and it is rumored that his kung fu is extremely high.However, the scope of this person's crimes is currently limited to the Northeast, and the people in the Northwest have not yet had the opportunity to experience how ferocious he is, so they are not too afraid. When they heard that the Martial Arts League has a great reward, they all inquired about the appearance of the target person.The portraits are almost released one by one, for fear that I will miss the meeting with the leader of the Demon Cult, and miss the opportunity to make a fortune in vain.

At this time, the wind was strong again, and the vendors ran back to pick up the books that fell to the ground.Zhu Yanyin saw that his clothes were thin and his life seemed to be hard, so she asked the book boy to help, and said: "Ask how much money are those scripts, and buy them back to the inn for me."

When Zhu Xiaosui heard this, her two eyebrows drooped immediately, she lost her memory, why would she still buy it?Reluctantly, he walked over in small steps, and after helping the vendor pack up the books, he asked like a wealthy family: "My son wants to buy some books for entertainment, do you still have any books in stock?"

"Yes, yes." The vendor was very enthusiastic, "I don't know what book you want?"

Zhu Xiaosui said: "Three graves and five canons, eight traces and nine hills."

The vendor looked bewildered.

Zhu Xiaosui had no choice but to ask again: "Then "Biography of Gongyang" and "Biography of Guliang", should there be such things?"

The vendor pointed to the basket, no, I only sell these.

It's all related to Jianghu, such as "Ten Unsolved Mysteries of Wulin", "One Hundred Things Young Heroes Must Know Before Entering Jianghu", and some self-printed story books of some sects, such as "The Master of Huangshan School" The Road to Success: Others See Trouble, But I See Opportunity", in short, each book is more fancy than the other.

Zhu Xiaosui's hand was shaking when paying the money.

There is going to be a martial arts conference in the city, and there are quacks everywhere.Zhu Yanyin didn't want to be bored alone in the inn, so she asked Zhao Mingchuan about some beautiful places in Jincheng, and planned to stroll around slowly to kill time.

While helping her young master make the bed, Zhu Xiaosui was distressed, not knowing when the genius doctor Na Jiang would be able to enter Jincheng.Alas, people in the rivers and lakes, no matter how you think, how rough and unreliable you are.

In Wanren Palace, Jiang Shenglin sneezed three or four times when he was read, his hands trembled, and the description of the leader of the Demon Cult on the paper became darker and distorted.He was about to scrap and redraw a painting, but Li Sui had already ordered: "Find more than a dozen disciples to copy it, and send it to various bookstores as soon as possible."

Jiang Shenglin still had a conscience, and felt that it was not easy to use this junk to cheat money, so he suggested, "Why don't I change it again."

Li Sui took out the rice paper: "It's not a portrait of your Jiang family ancestors, why is it so detailed."

Jiang Shenglin: "..."

Forget it, I am not angry, I am not angry when others are angry, and there is no one to replace when I get sick.

The appearance of the leader of the Demon Cult in the hearts of the people of Jincheng can be compared with the green-headed evil spirits, all thanks to the seven or eight bookstores set up in the city by Wanren Palace.A few days ago, the Martial Arts League had just issued a huge reward order in the morning, and Chi Tian's portraits had already spread all over the city in the afternoon.Every household flocked to grab it, and scuffled if they couldn't get it. The best-seller was comparable to "Ten Romance in Jianghu".

Jiang Shenglin asked again: "When do you plan to leave for Xuecheng?"

"Next month." Li Sui said, "Prescribe some more medicines for me in case of emergencies."

"The medicine can be prescribed, but Chi Tian's kung fu is so high that—" Jiang Shenglin was halfway through speaking, seeing that Li Sui seemed displeased, he changed the subject, "Even if you have deep internal strength and can beat him seven or eight times with one hand, But after all, there are old wounds on the body, so it is better to be careful."

"How to be careful?"

"The people from the Martial Arts League are also going to Xuecheng, why not go with them?" Jiang Shenglin persuasively said, "It's just for those people in the Jianghu to learn a lot."

Li Sui picked up his sword, got up and left the hall.

Jiang Shenglin looked at his back and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Ergong took the little book boy and wandered around Jincheng.

There are many people, cars, and horses on the road. Zhu Xiaosui is afraid when she sees the smoky Jianghu scene.So he grabbed his sleeve tightly with one hand, and muttered: "It's almost there, let's go back."

"The room is so stuffy." Zhu Yanyin looked up at the shop plaque in front of her, and praised, "The name is good, let's go in and have a look."

Zhu Xiaosui complained when she heard the words, Niu Dafa made weapons, what's so good about this name, if you want to see the big sword, just say it.

Zhu Yanyin Shi Shiran walked in and tore off the tulle from her face.He had a handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and stood in the dark shop, with "I was born so rich" written all over his body. Several shop assistants rushed forward and surrounded the rich People, scrambling to introduce the treasures of various town stores.

The Second Young Master Zhu didn't hear much, and felt that all the weapons here had a big mystery, so he turned his head to look at the book boy, everyone is so enthusiastic, do I have to buy some, after all, they are all here.

Zhu Xiaosui: I will be pissed off.

Zhu Yanyin picked up some daggers and sleeve arrows with great interest, planning to take them home as gifts—or to display them for viewing if they can’t.Big brother has to buy two catties of lotus root cakes when he goes to Hecheng, and this is a martial arts conference, right? So I sent Zhu Xiaosui to pay the money later, and I continued to look around, look around, and that’s all I saw. a sword.

A red black black iron sword.

Leaning against the corner of the wall, covered with the afterglow of the setting sun, every notch seems to be filled with stories of vicissitudes.

nice!

Buy it!

As soon as Li Sui just lifted the curtain, he saw a thief stealing his sword.

"..."

Zhu Yanyin had never practiced martial arts, had never done rough work, her arms were trembling, and she had no strength, so she managed to drag the sword up.

"call!"

Li Sui looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhu Yanyin was so focused on the sword that she didn't even notice that there was a person in the dark, she just wanted to go to a brighter place to appreciate it carefully.When going back, he didn't pay attention to the hole in the ground. He stumbled and fell into another person's arms.

"Ah!" It was a young man in brocade clothes and wielding a sword. As soon as he entered the store, he was smashed and took two steps back. He couldn't help but dodge, and said in disgust, "Where did you come from?"

It was the first time that Second Young Master Zhu was called a rough and reckless man, and he was astonished. He wondered if you have bad eyesight, and am I still called a rough?But after thinking about it, after all, he bumped into someone first, so he planned to apologize, but the other party had already walked past him with his servants, and picked up the bag of daggers on the cabinet.

"..."

Zhu Yanyin had no choice but to say, "Brother, I bought these."

The man in brocade looked him up and down, and said with contempt: "You can't even hold a sword, but you want to grab this floating sword from me?"

As soon as Zhu Yanyin heard this random name, she started to have a headache, and she didn't even want to carry a knife, because it was so vulgar that she couldn't stand it.At this time, Zhu Xiaosui happened to come out with his assistant, and he was dissatisfied when he heard that others looked down on his young master, so he stretched out his hand and said loudly: "That's all, those who have paid the money just now, all wrapped up."

The man smiled compensatingly, and stepped forward to take the things away, but the man in brocade clothes refused, and threw the sword on the cabinet with a bang: "What are you taking, I want it."

"Hey, you—" Zhu Xiaosui wanted to go forward to argue, but Zhu Yanyin stopped him and persuaded him softly, "You paid the money, but what if this brother is willing to pay double? Can you stop the shopkeeper from making money?"

The clerks in the store wished that the two customers could negotiate on their own, so no one spoke, and they just stood there.

The man in brocade glanced at the hidden daggers and said with a "chi": "I pay double."

Zhu Yanyin said: "I pay three times."

"You!" The veins twitched between the Jinyi man's brows.

Zhu Yanyin explained: "In business, the one with the highest price wins."

Being stared at by a roomful of people, the man in Jinyi couldn't bear to lose face, he gritted his teeth: "I pay four times."

"Five times."

"...six times!"

"Good!" Zhu Yanyin suddenly started applauding enthusiastically.

The man froze for a moment, and then clapped his hands.

crackling.

Very lively.

Jinyi man: "..."

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and it looked like he swallowed the "good fart" alive.

I wish the Second Young Master rich, the ones I picked earlier were all good things, six times is not a small amount.Although the guy said he took the money from Jin Yiren, he wasn't very happy. He thought that after a while, he would definitely send someone to ask for it back, otherwise, who would suffer such a pity?Just ask for it, as long as you don't smash the store in anger.

Then I heard Zhu Yanyin asking again: "Brother is so generous and heroic, which sect does he come from?"

The man in Jinyi didn't want to pay attention.

But I couldn't hold back, there was a fool in the family: "My master is the young master of the Canglang Gang!"

Jin Yiren's tooth root was wrong, and his chest was suffocated, and the new year's breath was not in one place.

Sure enough, Zhu Yanyin immediately sighed to Zhu Xiaosui: "It turns out that you are the young master of the Canglang Gang, no wonder you spend so much money. You and I have just entered the rivers and lakes, and today we have learned a lot."

His voice was loud and squeaking, like a cicada. Hearing that the man in brocade clothes was making troubles to a higher level, he simply left the shop with a flick of his sleeves.Zhu Yanyin glanced out, Zhu Xiaosui understood, and immediately chased him out and shouted loudly at the door of the store: "Canglang helped the young master to spend a lot of money, paying six times the silver to buy a floating sword in the sky, the sea, the distant mountains, the empty rain, and the dream. I am really envious." Others!"

The people on the street didn't quite understand it. They only heard that it was six times the money, and they thought it was some kind of sloppy young master who bought an amazing treasure.

Zhu Yanyin said: "Now he won't come back to ask for it back."

"Yes." The man nodded, "Does the young man want to buy anything else?"

"I want this sword." Zhu Yanyin pointed to the ground, "Send it directly to the inn."

The man stretched his neck and looked, his face turned pale with fright, isn't this the sword of my palace master?Why are you here?

"I don't want to sell this one, son, let's change it!"

Zhu Yanyin was puzzled: "Why not sell it?"

The clerk ran out of the counter, took the sword into the cabinet and put it away: "This is also the guest's, and it is temporarily stored here."

Zhu Yanyin was surprised: "You can actually hold it?"

Dude: "...I strike iron with great strength."

Zhu Yanyin responded, feeling rather regretful in his heart, because he really liked that sword.So I talked to the clerk in detail, and asked him to ask the customer if he sold it, or to find out where he bought the sword.

The man followed the perfunctory, and finally sent the two away.The business was over, and he hurriedly closed the door, intending to take the sword to the backyard and return it to the palace lord, but there was no shadow of the mysterious sword in the cabinet. When the wind picked up, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, with cold sweat dripping from his back: "This subordinate sends the Palace Master off respectfully."
