Jianghu Tired Brigade

Hong Xiao was seated in the lower part of the auditorium, and the parents and dignitaries of the newlyweds were seated in the upper part, surrounded by attendants.

On both sides of her are guests who came here to befriend the owner of the mansion, and they gave generous gifts to occupy a seat, although they were not as grand as the crowd, there were three or five attendants.Only Hong Xiao's table was served by a servant, which seemed a bit shabby.

Moreover, even though there were women among the guests, they were all wives and daughters, sitting around the Patriarch.Only at Hong Xiao's table, there was only one woman, showing her face in public alone.

Many guests looked at her, whispering to each other.They didn't want Hong Xiao to practice martial arts all the year round, so he could hear all the arguments from the left and right.

It's nothing more than the fact that the bride used to be from the world, and this woman is probably the bride's former cronies. Seeing the bride's prosperity, she came here to seek benefits.

Some people said that women in the Jianghu show their faces all day long, which is degrading to women, and sitting in the same room with this woman is really depraved and unfavorable.

There are so many kinds of things.

Hong Xiao seemed to have never heard of it, and sipped the tea in the cup with a peaceful expression. After drinking the cup, he took the pot and poured another cup.

After listening to the words of many adults, the boy also shrank his head at this time, and quietly hid a little far away.

This kind of discussion stopped abruptly, Hong Xiao followed everyone's eyes and looked together, the bridegroom walked in front, an old nun led the bride and walked behind step by step, and they entered the wedding hall together.

Since the bride's parents died early, and people from all walks of life have no fixed place to live, there is no need to send a bride to welcome the bride, and the process of getting married is much simplified. At this time, the praiser said some auspicious words, and everyone in the hall also congratulated.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the wedding hall was warm, there was a slight rattling sound suddenly.

Hong Xiao was the first to notice it, and looked back towards the door.The bride seemed to be aware of it too, the head under the hijab moved slightly, and her face turned to the direction of the door.

The sound changed from slight to clear, and many people rushed in from outside the door, the sword light was so bright that it hurt people's eyes.

Those people were wearing black clothes, but they didn't cover their faces.I thought it was just for the convenience of sneaking into the mansion, but I was not afraid of the forces in the hall.

There was a sudden silence in the wedding hall, everyone was startled by the intruder, and after a while, a fat man at the top asked, "Who are you?"

A lean, middle-aged man stepped out from among the visitors, and saluted with his fists cupped: "Excuse me, we are disciples of the Shenji Sect, and we are currently investigating an old case of the sect five years ago. Please do not interfere with it." .”

The guests looked at each other in blank dismay, most of these people were officials and merchants in the city, and they were not familiar with the sects in the Jianghu.But there are also a few people who heard this name, and their faces changed slightly.

The fat man said angrily: "How bold, this is the residence of the prefect of Zhao. Are you reckless wanting to rebel?"

The visitor sneered and ignored him, but held his head high and said to the groom domineeringly: "Prefect Zhao, you probably won't be able to get married."

The bridegroom frowned, and said: "Today is the official's day of great joy, it is unreasonable for you to offend like this."

The leader of Shenjimen paced the hall alone, looking sharply at everyone in the hall: "Reason? The imperial court has never told us the reason for besieging and killing all the sects. It's just that today is the prefect Zhao's happy day. If the prefect Zhao can cooperate obediently, we will not make things difficult for the prefect Zhao."

Zhao Zhifu was afraid of these muddleheaded people who killed people without blinking an eye, and dared not get angry.But in front of so many guests, he was really subdued but also unwilling, so he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, and said with a livid face: "I...I am the official of the imperial court, how can I be afraid of you waiting for recklessness." The confidence gradually weakened, After all he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't hurt the innocent, I will just take a look... and see what you are going to do."

Hong Xiao saw it clearly, and sighed in his heart that the prefect Zhao's posture was really too cowardly, but the people in the court, who were bound by rules and regulations, were not trembling and cautious in their words and actions?

The headed person walked in front of the bride, suddenly swung his long sword, and the cold light flashed, pointing directly at the bride's face.With a sound of Zila, the bride's hijab split in two and fell to the ground, revealing her beautiful face.

His wife was offended like this, Zhao Zhifu frowned even tighter, his feet moved slightly, but finally stopped raising his feet.

The leader laughed and said, "Viper, you hide really well."

This time, even Hong Xiao frowned.

The leader pointed his sword at the bride and asked, "Where is the thing you stole five years ago?"

The bride's red lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes flickered, as if seductive, she said with a charming smile: "My lord, you are joking, what does my husband want, how can I steal other people's things?"

Prefect Zhao was very useful, and he couldn't help showing a bit of pride and love on his face.

"I'm afraid your husband doesn't have that kind of ability." The leader snorted coldly, "I'm lazy to talk to you, if you don't tell the truth, then come back to the Shenjimen with us."

The bride puffed her chest out, not weak at all, and said with a smile: "There are ten...twelve of you here, but we are full of hundreds of people, so domineering, is it easy to bully my husband?"

Hearing his wife's words, Zhao Zhifu felt relieved, he also stood up straight, and said in an official voice: "Exactly, I am a member of the imperial court, how dare you be so presumptuous."

The leader smiled and said, "Then you are determined to stop it?"

Zhao Zhifu gave him a stern look, and couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, but with so many guests in the hall, how dare he admit cowardice in front of everyone, so he bit his head and said: "Anyway, if you want to take Kui Niang away, you have to With the permission of the official."

The leader snorted coldly, as if to show weakness.But with the long sword in his hand, it stabbed into Zhifu Zhao's chest with the momentum of thunder.

Everyone was shocked, but there was no time to stop them.

When the long sword stabbed out, it encountered obstacles halfway, and it was difficult to advance an inch.Everyone noticed that the woman who was originally standing in the corner had rushed to the center of the wedding hall at some point, her two fingers firmly gripping the tip of the long sword.

The leader originally saw that Zhifu Zhao had no martial arts skills, so although the moves were powerful, they did not actually use their internal strength.The martial arts of Shenji Sect are profound, and the moves are exquisite, even if they don't use their internal strength, it is difficult for ordinary martial arts practitioners to resist, so he dared to make such a big deal.I don't want someone to stop me halfway.

The woman said: "It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage. The Shenji Gate is the gate of Taoism, why destroy this sinful virtue."

The internal force was running, the woman's strength was not as strong as his, and the long sword was easily released from the woman's hand.But with the status of the leader, he has already lost his identity when he strikes against a person who is not good at martial arts. If he misses this blow, he is determined not to make up for it with another sword.

The leader withdrew his long sword, returned the scabbard with his backhand, and asked, "I am the third generation disciple of Shenji Sect, Qian Shuan, who is your Excellency?"

Although Qian Suan was arrogant, he followed the rules of the world and declared his family first.

Hong Xiao put her hands into her sleeves, her fingertips were already aching from the man's strength, but she still had a tepid expression on her face: "My name is Hong Xiao, I have no family or sect."

Qian Suan frowned and thought for a while, it's not that he has never heard of Hong Xiao's name, but that there are too many women named Hong Xiao, who knows if it is the oiran in the famous building in the capital, or the jasper in the alley in Huaiyang.The woman in front of her, with willow brows, almond eyes and pink cheeks, is very beautiful, but the clearness between her brows and eyes is not something that a firework girl can have.

Qian Suan said: "Since the girl stopped my sword, I don't care about it. It's just that Viper and I have a deep grudge, I hope the girl can distinguish good from bad."

Hong Xiao smiled lightly and said: "In the Shanxi Hall, there are one hundred and eight followers brought by your lords. Outside the house, there are 52 yamen servants in this mansion, 24 guards, and a number of servants. You have a total of But 13 people, can they really escape safely?"

Qian Suan was secretly startled, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and said calmly: "You don't need to worry about Zensheng getting out, I just need to take the Viper away."

Hong Xiao shook his head and said, "Hurry up and leave, you won't be able to escape later."

Qian Suan raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You can't protect Viper with such nonsense!" The long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, this time he tried his best, the sword light flashed, and turned Daoist cold light stabs at Hong Xiao, the strong wind beats down, before the sword arrives, there is already a little tingling on his face.

I didn't see how Hong Xiao dodged, but he just raised his legs and raised his legs, and all the dazzling sword moves fell into the empty space.I saw that her footwork was elegant, as if she was strolling in a courtyard, she could handle it with ease.

Qian Suan's long sword is like a silver light curtain, watertight, but Hong Xiao blindly dodges and doesn't touch it.

Qian Suan missed a few tricks, and snorted coldly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.Taking advantage of Hong Xiao's evasion, she reached out and grabbed the bride.

Hong Xiao didn't expect him to act like this, and hastily pushed the bride away, and brushed her left arm with Qian Suan's palm, although it was not firm, it also made her arm feel hot and painful.

At this time, several members of the Shenji Sect also moved closer to this place, intending to take the opportunity to catch the Viper.

Seeing that the guards from the rivers and lakes relaxed, a few guests who were closer to the door rushed out of the door.It's just that as soon as they got to the door, they saw a few black lights flashing by, and the faces of those people were black and blue, and they fell in front of the threshold, losing their breath.

"Snakes... there are snakes!" Someone shouted in horror.

A few fist-thick black snakes were patrolling outside the door, and the guards and maidservants who had been guarding the door were lying outside in disorder, long dead.

The turbulent Xitang immediately quieted down, and people crowded together and huddled in the corner, regardless of their seniority, trembling with fear.

Hong Xiao helped the bride up, took another step back, leaned against the wall, and said to Qian: "I can't beat you."

Qian Suan said, "Then don't stop it."

Hong Xiao said again: "But you No. 13 have disappeared."

Qian Suan didn't expect that she would say such a sentence suddenly, and said casually, "What?"

Hong Xiao said: "The one hidden on the roof."

Qian Suan's complexion changed drastically, but he suppressed it very quickly, with a sharp look on his face, and shouted to everyone: "Let's go together, take the Viper away."

Four orders were issued, four people approached, five long swords fluttered in unison, as if weaving a big silver net, gradually approaching Hong Xiao.

Hong Xiao faced Qian Suan directly and protected the bride behind him.Among the five people surrounded by Shenjimen, although all of them have exquisite swordsmanship and can be called elites of the sect, they are all inferior to money.Moreover, this group of people is always led by Qian Suan. If they can subdue them, it will not be difficult to drive them away.

It's just that Qian Suan's skills are profound, and with Hong Xiao's martial arts, he can't see any flaws.Hong Xiao's heart moved, and he said loudly: "The No. 13 person lurking on the roof is your evacuation plan, Mr. Qian. Once you catch the viper, forcefully feed her the antidote. Then let the person on the house pour the poison. Kill everyone in the house."

There was a commotion in the hall, Qian Suan's eyes flashed, but he didn't talk to him, his moves were still in an orderly manner, seeing that Jian Guang's encirclement was less than ten feet away, Qian Suan rushed to the forefront, and the tip of his sword almost pointed at Hong Xiao's body several times tip of the nose.
