Outer History of Martial Arts - One Horseman

[500 taels of silver are used to go to the living road sign of the collar.

It should not be too late, especially for matters related to people's livelihood. These two wines are too short for a bosom friend, and I drank three wine jars. Unfortunately, there is too much water in [氵少], and I am only half drunk.The two rested overnight in the small town, and headed southwards against the wind and snow early the next morning, heading straight for Kaifeng.

Since midnight last night, the wind and snow have never stopped.The furious snow is majestic and cold, and the world is chilling. Looking around, there is almost no variegation covered in silver within a thousand miles.

The wind and snow in the pass are no longer mixed with wind and sand. Although it is cold in the face, it is not unbearable.

From the far end of the snow field came three horses, the leading one was black and extremely handsome.The rider on horseback was wearing short fur and a mink fur hood on his head. The hood was wrapped around his neck, covering his neckline and most of his face.In his hand he held the bridle of another horse, the sorrel mare carrying the corpse of a grown man.Another rider wrapped in a cloak rode a horse with black flowers on a white background to the rear.

Here are Fang Xinqi and Shen Lang and his party. Fang Xinqi's original thin horse was really weak. Even if the ice and snow wind made the horse unable to move forward with all its strength, the horse could not keep up with Shen Lang's mount.Since a certain person belonged to the poor and lower-middle peasants, Shen Lang had no choice but to buy a horse out of his own pocket as a gift.

The wind and snow are all over Zhongzhou, and behind the snow curtain and wind barrier in front of you, you can already vaguely see the hazy shadow of Renyi Village.

After arriving at Renyi Village, the two got off their horses, and Fang Xin rode into the village after Shen Lang. Seeing Shen Lang turning left and right, it was obvious that he had been here more than once or twice.

The two walked towards the front hall of the small courtyard of Renyi Village. The front hall was filled with pitch-black coffins. Two men in black clothes who were as dark as the coffins and as cold as the coffins were sitting there. Drinking, they have been drinking for a while, and there are a few empty wine jars piled up at their feet.

To get to the vestibule, one had to go around a wind wall.There are reward notices plastered here and there on the wind wall like patches.Some of the notices were newer and seemed to have been posted not long ago, while others were yellowed and torn, fluttering in the wind and snow, as if they would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Shen Lang took a rough look there, took off the copy with Lai Qiuhuang's name on it, and stuffed it into Fang Xinqi's hand.Fang Xinqi wanted to reach out, but Fang Xinqi, who was half a beat behind, took it silently. He always felt that Shen Lang was taking care of him intentionally or unintentionally. Although the reason was unknown and a little embarrassing, the feeling was not bad. The protagonist who can abduct Jin Wuwang is actually a gifted skill to buy people's hearts or something.

Seeing that he was in a daze again with the arrest warrant, Shen Lang couldn't help sighing slightly, shook his head in his heart, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's go."

Fang Xinqi hurriedly followed, and the two men in black who were drinking in the front hall saw their figures, their gazes paused on Fang Xinqi's body, they looked at each other, and then stood up.

Shen Lang put the body on the ground on his shoulders, Fang Xinqi stood beside him, and handed over the wanted notice.

Among the two men in black, a man in black with a hook on his one arm picked up the corpse with one hook, and took a look, with a hint of warmth in his cold eyes.He glanced at Shen Lang again, Shen Lang smiled, and pointed at Fang Xinqi lazily, indicating that the corpse belonged to him.

The man in black took a deep look at Fang Xinqi, then put the corpse under his side and strode out.Another man in black poured two glasses of wine, Fang Xinqi saw that Shen Lang drank it all, so he followed suit and drank the wine in the glass.

But he said that the one-armed man in black brought the body to the second courtyard, and there were three old people in that courtyard who were discussing matters, and they were the owners of Renyizhuang.After the one-armed man in black Leng San showed Lai Qiuhuang's body to the three of them, he returned to the front hall with 500 taels of silver, and the three people in the hall had already gathered around the coffin and drank each other.

The wine table is the best place to exchange feelings. Shen Lang and the man in black can keep silent, but Fang Xinqi is a chatterbox. After three glasses of wine, he has nothing to talk to. The man in black ignores him. Just talk about Shen Lang.Shen Lang smiled wryly as he listened to his talk, and when he looked up and saw Leng San, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

As soon as he relaxed, the smile on his face deepened.Leng San was stunned for a moment, then he threw the silver on the coffin with a wave of his hand, and lifted the lid of a coffin next to him, and threw the corpse in with a wave of the iron hook. Has also joined the drinking team.

Fang Xinqi held the cloth bag containing 500 taels of silver, and glanced at Shen Lang with some guilt, then remembered that the silver would be given away by the protagonist anyway, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

After a few more drinks, Shen Lang got up to say goodbye, Fang Xinqi also put down his glass when he saw this, but he knew in his heart that Shen Lang would not be able to leave this time.

Sure enough, seeing Shen Lang clasped his fists and smiled, got up and walked out, Leng San's body flickered, he had already blocked Shen Lang's way, and said in a deep voice: "Villa Master, please serve wine in the hall."

Fang Xinqi saw that Shen Lang's eyes were slightly lowered, so he guessed that he must refuse, and immediately approached, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if I have the honor to sit with Brother Shen?"

"Brother Fang, you..." Shen Lang was speechless, counting the time, thinking that it was almost dinner time, although he had only known each other for a short time, Shen Lang dared to say that this new friend definitely wanted to have dinner.

It's just that Shen Lang's intuition told him that this meal is by no means easy.

Leng San brought the two of them to the hall, where there were eight banquet tables, each table was rich in food and wine, but only seven people were enjoying it.Each of these seven people occupied an entire table, and they all sat at the top, obviously unwilling to share the table with others and be a foil for others.

These people include monks and secular people, men and women, all of them are dressed in different ways, but they are all extremely conspicuous.After Leng San sent the two of them to the hall, he left. Shen Lang smiled all over his face, and swept these people one by one without a trace of sight, and already made a judgment in his heart.Fang Xinqi's gaze was fixed on the delicious food and wine, firstly because he knew that everyone here except himself was soy sauce, and secondly because he was really hungry.

Fang Xinqi remembered that in the original plot, for some reason, Shen Lang didn't go to the eighth table where no one was there, but competed with others at the first seven tables. As a result, he was rejected many times and was even cheated of 500 taels of silver.

Shen Lang is Shen Lang, and Fang Xinqi is Fang Xinqi. He pulled the other party's sleeve and walked straight towards the eighth table. Just let him go.

Fang walked a few steps forward, and suddenly heard a person say loudly: "If the two of you don't dislike it, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Fang Xinqi turned his head back, but saw a young man in brocade attire, with a Yaoqin on his back and a long sword hanging from his waist, raised his glass and smiled at the two of them at the table next to him.Fang Xinqi glanced across his face, and noticed a small mole at the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head and sighed softly, sighing with emotion at this chaotic plot.

——Wang Lianhua, are you making wool here? !

According to reports from the forces stationed in Happy City in the Central Plains, recently the martial arts in the Central Plains are about to move, and several forces are watching Happy City's every move.Among them, the most powerful one is Renyizhuang.

Although Renyizhuang itself has withered, but for so many years punishing rape and eliminating evil in the Jianghu, he is actually one of the giants of the martial arts, and his reputation and prestige should not be underestimated.But it is the owners of Renyi Zhuang who make Happy King more concerned--"Invincible Sword" Li Changqing, "Heavenly Secrets, Earth Spirit, Outstanding Person" Qi Zhi, and "Qi Swallowing Bullfighting" Lian Tianyun.

These three are sworn brothers.Nine years ago, there was a catastrophe in the martial arts.Countless martial arts people killed each other, resulting in countless casualties.Since then, the martial arts in the Central Plains has been in a slump, many martial arts have been lost, and secret treasures have been lost. Only a few people survived the catastrophe, and these three brothers are among the few.

Later, someone confirmed that the man behind the catastrophe was Chai Yuguan, who was known as the "Buddha of all families" at that time.Chai Yuguan cheated the world and stole his name. At that time, he had the reputation of living Buddha.At that time, many martial arts brothers turned against each other and became enemies with each other, but they were willing to entrust their undisclosed martial arts and treasures to Chai Yuguan to take care of them.

In the end, 11 people survived the catastrophe, and seven of them handed over their belongings to Chai Yuguan.When the seven people went to their respective treasure places to retrieve the items, there was nothing there, only a note was left, with five large characters written on it, which read—"Everyone has been fooled".

The handwriting clearly belonged to Chai Yuguan, and everyone realized it.However, it was rumored that Chai Yuguan himself had died. Although this news was not reliable, after several years of investigation, there was indeed no news of Chai Yuguan in the martial arts world.Just when the wind gradually dissipated, a happy city suddenly rose outside the pass.What surprised the older generation of Central Plains martial arts practitioners was that the appearance of the owner of Happy City, Happy King, was actually very similar to the "Wanjia Shengfo" who had been missing for many years.

If you say that Happy King is also a conceited person, since he dared to show his face openly, he is not afraid of being investigated.However, half a year ago, the first rider of Ji Feng was dropped by someone. He suddenly realized that there are still capable people in the Central Plains martial arts.

In half a year, he ordered people to thoroughly investigate the forces targeting Happy City, not letting go of even the slightest clue.

Finally, he found unusual traces in Renyizhuang's bills in recent years.

Renyizhuang offered a reward to someone to capture the murderer who endangered the martial arts, which was a big expense.The three brothers have no business sense at all, and all the expenses in the village are their old background accumulated in the early years, and some friends who are in the same way support them.sit like this
