In the martial arts world, there is a saying that martial arts talents can be divided into two categories:
Innate and later
A congenital person can be said to be the darling of God. He may be born with open meridians, he may be born with divine power, or he may be born with intelligence and be able to master martial arts with just a little bit of knowledge. Although such people are rare, looking at the top martial arts experts, they seem to have some innate advantages that help them grow rapidly.
The so-called late achievers are the ordinary qualifications of the general public. Almost most people fall into this category. But where there is a will, things come true. It is also said that as long as hard work is used, the iron pestle will be ground into a needle. Through continuous hard work, the future in martial arts is boundless.
That person with a body of more than eight feet and natural supernatural power is naturally an innate warrior. If he practices hard the day after tomorrow and keeps honing himself, how terrible will it be?
One punch knocked away the senior brother of the first sect of the Righteous Path. This is the terrifying strength of such a warrior.
Liu Xin couldn't control his body when he landed this time. The strong force forced him to fall heavily to the ground, and he could use the rolling to break down the majestic force on his body.
After the strength was dissipated by several rolls, Liu Xin took advantage of the situation to stand up. The arm that supported his body shook violently. The hard contact he just made had already injured his arm bones, and may even have broken bones. !
The internal force in the body condensed and converged towards the arm, protecting the injured arm bone and at the same time alleviating the pain that was constantly radiating there.
"Hiss, what a natural god, God is so unfair sometimes!"
Liu Xin was still in the mood to talk at this time because Lin Xiaoqi had already taken the opportunity to drag aside the killer who had fallen to the ground and was hit by an arrow.
The two officers were still hiding under the cart, shivering, their faces pale, and they were probably in a panic. They are just ordinary servants, not even police officers, they are just ordinary people who are stronger than ordinary people.
The giant looked at Lin Xiaoqi and the wailing killer, and then at Liu Xin, who had straightened up. He was close to the two, but he seemed to know that if Liu Xin was not completely eliminated, Liu Xin would be A trouble.
"Hey, why don't you speak? Is it because your voice is not good and you are a little shy?" Liu Xin grinned and teased the giant.
But the giant remained unmoved, with only a pair of eyes showing an astonishing murderous intent.
So la la...
A rough iron chain also fell from the giant's other arm. The iron chain was very thick, like an adult's forearm. It was covered with mottled rust, so it was yellowish in color.
Gudong....
Liu Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If there were two of these things, would it be considered cheating? He was unarmed!
Whoosh!
Just when Liu Xin was stunned, the giant threw out the iron chain, making a sound like a spear piercing the air. Liu Xin ducked sideways, but the second iron chain had already swept over!
The giant's iron chain is very fancy. In addition to being used as a whip, it can also be used to chop with an axe, and to sweep and stab with a spear. And because of the properties of the iron chain itself, this attack becomes both smart and complex, and full of power and destructive power.
The iron chains were whistling and flying, and occasionally some sparks would be rubbed out when rubbing against the ground. Liu Xin really had to thank Professor Xuesheng for his light Hongyan movement, otherwise he might not even be able to cope with this kind of attack.
"You just bullied me for not having a weapon!" Liu Xin took the time to curse angrily. It's too late to say anything now. It would have been better if he had carried a dagger with him.
What's even more terrible is that at the same time as the giant launched its attack, arrows in the distance began to appear again. Liu Xin's back was locked by the cold light. Liu Xin secretly thought that something was wrong, and the giant's attack also changed at the same moment. Got to be even more violent.
"This monster!" Liu Xin gritted his teeth and went all out. His body even pulled out a shadow and retreated quickly. Only then did he avoid the three arrows shot and the two iron chains of the giant at the same time.
Seeing that Liu Xin had distanced himself from him, the giant stopped caring about Liu Xin and turned around and strode towards Lin Xiaoqi.
Liu Xin knew something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Lin Xiaoqi, leave quickly and leave that person alone!"
Lin Xiaoqi immediately retreated after hearing this. The giant didn't seem to care about Lin Xiaoqi at all. When he got close, he threw an iron chain over him. The killer was directly lifted up by the huge force and was unresponsive when he landed on the ground.
Liu Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the giant, who also looked back at Liu Xin.
Dangdangdang....
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from not far away, and then someone was heard shouting from the direction where the arrow was shot: "Leave quickly!"
The giant seemed to frown when he heard this, and then without hesitating for too long, he strode into an alley. His huge body could only barely pass through the narrow alley, and the giant's figure completely disappeared into the shadow of the alley. At the end of the road, Ding Mingfu's figure finally appeared.
Ding Mingfu's face was gloomy. Just as he was approaching the place with the captain of Baihu Institute, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. He secretly thought that there was something wrong in his heart, so he rushed over quickly, and then he saw a mess in front of him.
Liu Xin's body was covered with dust and he looked particularly embarrassed. Lin Xiaoqi's face was in shock. He was really frightened by the giant before. With such strange strength and huge body, he still had extremely fast speed. He had never heard of such a warrior. , I can’t even imagine that such people exist.
Ding Mingfu stepped forward and ordered people to check the four killers. He came to Liu Xin and said with concern: "Master Liu, are you okay?"
Liu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'm okay? Although I'm a little embarrassed, this case is really getting more and more interesting!"
.....
"Under attack? Who is so bold and dares to do something like this in the imperial capital... There is something unusual behind the Royal Horse Supervisory Case..." Liu Licheng looked a little surprised when he received the news, and then became even more worried. Heavy look.
Baihu Cheng Guotao stood aside, also lost in thought. After a long time, he slowly said:
"Master Liu! Do you want to inform Shao Shiwang? After all, something happened within his jurisdiction."
"Bang! That guy... Jin Yiwei is so shameful, I am ashamed to be associated with him. This case is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. If you can get one more, just get one more!"
"My lord is right, but this matter will definitely be heard by Datian. As the situation escalates, it is estimated that Kou Gang will not be able to escape. My lord, you can escape just in time."
"What you said makes sense. It's best this way. Liu Xin did it unintentionally and helped me a lot."
"Sir, are you planning to continue to win over Liu Xin..." Cheng Guotao said hesitantly.
Liu Licheng waved his hand and said, "This Liu Xin is interesting, but... let's take a look."
"Yes." Cheng Guotao understood that Liu Licheng was interested, but he had not yet made up his mind. This Liu Xin does have some abilities, but ability does not necessarily mean usefulness, especially since their current situation is not very good. An obedient person is far more important than a useful person.
"Let Liu Xin continue to investigate. If he is found, the credit will naturally be ours. If he is not found, he will be evacuated. For us, it is a good thing."
Cheng Guotao came to his senses and said yes again and again.
On the other side, Liu Xin has returned to the Hundred Households Office in Wenxuanfang. A specialized doctor has given Liu Xin medicine. He has also checked his arm. It is already a fractured bone. This kind of injury requires at least rehabilitation. It takes two to three months to recover, but this is for ordinary people. For people like Liu Xin who can rely on internal strength to speed up the healing of injuries, about half a month is enough.
But before returning to Baihusuo, something happened.
Liu Licheng sent people to take away the bodies of the four killers. There was no reason, just Qianhu's orders.
Ding Mingfu was a little angry at that time and wanted to explode, but Liu Xin stopped him. It was not until he finished applying the medicine that Ding Mingfu came in to announce that Cheng Guotao of the Hundred Households had come to visit.
"Go and invite me!" Liu Xin said, and then he was stunned. Suddenly some fragments flashed in his mind, and he suddenly fell into deep thought.
Ding Mingfu left in a hurry, and Cheng Guotao was already waiting in the main hall.
Not long after, Cheng Guotao came to Liu Xin to check in, and Liu Xin was already waiting here.
"Liu Baihu, are you okay? I heard that you were attacked today. Who dares to do anything in the imperial capital!" Cheng Guotao first asked with concern after coming in, and then began to ask about Liu Xin's attack today. .
Liu Xin asked someone to serve Cheng Guotao tea, and then said quietly: "I didn't expect that the thieves would be so fierce and dare to attack in the imperial capital."
Cheng Guotao picked up the tea cup and still looked at Liu Xin with concern: "I heard that Liu Baihu was injured."
Liu Xin nodded, pointed to his right arm and said: "That thief is fierce, my forearm bone is cracked, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent me from continuing to handle the case!"
Cheng Guotao looked at Liu Xin's arm, which was wrapped with a bandage. There was a faint smell of medicine. He was also a senior warrior. When he smelled the smell, he knew that Liu Xin's arm was indeed injured, and it should be a bone fracture. Broken bones and the like. He frowned deeply and said with some worry: "What did Liu Baihu find out today? How could he let the thief be so cruel and dare to attack the Jin Yiwei in the street? It seems that there is a big crocodile hidden behind this horse supervisor case! "
Liu Xin nodded affirmatively, with worry on his face: "That's right. Anyone who dares to touch my royal guard must be in a high position. This case may not be easy to investigate."
Cheng Guotao smiled at this time and said: "Liu Baihu doesn't need to worry too much. The Jin Yiwei are His Majesty's personal soldiers. Who in the world is greater than Your Majesty. Liu Qianhu has already given orders on this matter. Liu Baihu is here." The clue found this time is very important, and several of our offices will continue to investigate along this clue. As for Liu Baihu, you are injured now, you might as well assist me on the side, and I will take care of the charge. Done."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "This is the best thing. If Lord Qianhu can take action, he will definitely be able to capture the thief!"
Cheng Guotao smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea and continued to ask: "By the way, did Liu Baihu find out anything about the person who attacked you?"
Liu Xin recalled for a moment and said: "That man was full of brute force, using two thick iron chains, and his martial arts skills were superb!"
Cheng Guotao continued to ask: "What is this person's cultivation level?"
Liu Xin answered honestly: "Before I left my hometown, my master told me that I am now a Xiaocheng realm warrior and can be regarded as a small master of martial arts. That person is better than me and must have reached the Dacheng realm!"
Cheng Guotao nodded solemnly. In fact, he had no doubts about Liu Xin's Xiaocheng Realm cultivation. At first, he was a little surprised that a boy from such a small place actually had Xiaocheng Realm cultivation. But upon closer inspection, Thinking about it, Lao Liu Baihu has such a nephew, so he probably invested a lot of resources. But he sneered at Liu Xin's statement that the attacker had a Dacheng realm cultivation level.
Although I had already found someone to learn about the situation from Xiao Qi and the two guards before I came here, although the giant man was brave, he was also extremely powerful and was probably an innate strongman. But it is impossible to say that he is at the Dacheng Realm. If he is really at the Dacheng Realm, Liu Xin would have been completely cold. How could it be just a minor injury like a broken bone?
After understanding everything he wanted to know, Cheng Guotao said a few more words and then stood up to leave.
However, Liu Xin did not move. After Ding Mingfu sent Cheng Guotao away, Senior Brother Cheng quietly entered the duty room, glanced at Liu Xin's arm and asked:
"Is it really the Dacheng Realm?"
Of course what Senior Brother Cheng wanted to ask was the giant man. Liu Xin nodded and said with a smile:
"I didn't lie to Cheng Guotao. Whether he believes it or not is none of my business!"
Senior Brother Cheng nodded: "Lin Xiaoqi's martial arts is not yet at the level of Xiaocheng, and his vision is limited. And the two guards are even more unable to discern the level of martial arts. There should be no problem with your remarks."
"Don't talk about this!" Liu Xin put down the tea cup and touched his right arm. There was still a faint pain from the cracked bone. However, this kind of injury is really serious for warriors at Xiaocheng level and above. Minor injury.
"Senior Brother Cheng, can you help me check the details of that giant man? As for the direction, go in the direction of the northern barbarians!"
Senior Brother Cheng was a little surprised: "How do you know that person is a Northern Barbarian?"
Liu Xin smiled and replied: "In one sentence, Senior Brother Cheng, if we are in the middle of an interception and need to retreat urgently, what order will you give?"
Although Senior Brother Cheng was a little confused, he still said honestly: "Retreat! Or leave!"
Liu Xin nodded: "Yes, for an emergency retreat, the simpler the order, the better. But when the retreating person gave the order today, he said to leave quickly! Don't these four words seem a bit redundant at this time? !”
Senior Brother Cheng nodded, but he was still a little confused: "But this doesn't mean they are Northern Barbarians!"
Liu Xin leaned on the back of the chair and said slowly: "I believe that in an emergency, people will subconsciously make or speak the action language they are most accustomed to. There are actually four retreat words in Northern Mandarin. So I was thinking, if the person who gave the order was a Northern Barbarian, perhaps because of his habit at that time, the order to retreat could not help but be changed into four words."
Senior Brother Cheng didn't expect Liu Xin to be so familiar with the Northern Barbarian language, and he couldn't help but pull up the image of Liu Xin in his heart. This little junior brother, whom he hadn't seen for so many years, had grown up so fast. Senior Brother Cheng sighed in his heart, and then said in his mouth : "No problem, I will arrange for someone to check. There are not many northern barbarians in the imperial capital. There are only a few merchants and a few envoys from Honglu Temple. It should be easier to check."
Liu Xin nodded, his eyes fell on his injured arm, and then continued: "This big man should not be an unknown person. His strength has not been fully demonstrated. I think he should be a character I know. "
Senior Brother Cheng wrote down what Liu Xin said, and after a few words with Liu Xin, he left the duty room and went to arrange the investigation of the Northern Barbarians. In the imperial capital, Liu Xin wanted to contact the secret investigation team, and the intermediary was Senior Brother Cheng.
After a while, Liu Xin ordered all the colonels above Xiaoqi who went out to work today to gather at his place for a meeting when they return.
At the same time, to the east of the outer city of the imperial capital, there was the East Market.
There are two major markets in the imperial capital, which are very large. Almost all large transactions are completed in these two major markets, one is the East Market and the other is the West Market.
There was a dynasty before Zhengyang that had Chang'an as its capital. At that time, Chang'an City also had two cities, the east and the west, and the layout of the imperial capital was modeled after Chang'an City.
Although the east and west cities are both markets, they actually have different functions and division of labor. The East Market is mainly for some rare goods, or goods of relatively high value. It is targeted at middle and high-level people, that is, merchants, gentry and officials.
The West Market is more focused on the people at the bottom, and the goods it buys and sells are more basic things that people rely on for survival, such as grain, cloth...
But when it comes to the area of the two cities, the East Market is more than twice the size of the West City, and most of the shops in it are extremely exquisite small buildings. Among the countless buildings in Dongshi, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard. The front hall of the small courtyard is also the facade of the store. It sells some leather goods. The value of this kind of fine leather goods is They are expensive and are most popular among ladies from wealthy families.
The shop was called Dong Nuan Pavilion, and the shopkeeper was a down-and-out scholar who lived in the north. He unexpectedly got in touch with some herders in the north, and gradually began to buy and sell leather goods. Although they are fur goods, most of the products sold in the Winter Warm Pavilion are high-end fur goods such as fox fur, bear skin, and tiger skin, and they are also targeted at the highest-end customers. This old scholar also gained quite a reputation in the East Market.
In the backyard of Dongnuang Pavilion, there are many racks where furs of various colors are being dried. At this time, the Northland has just begun to cool down, which is far from the best season for selling furs. Therefore, these furs must be dried more often, otherwise it will cause Odor.
At this time, two shop assistants were turning over their furs so that they could bask in the sun from both sides. The door to the backyard slowly opened, and several figures walked into the backyard, passed the yard where furs were dried, and then entered a room. During this process, the two fur-turners didn't even raise their heads to look at them.
When these people entered the house, they immediately began to take off their coats, revealing the weird clothes underneath that were made of various fabrics like beggars.
One of them was exceptionally tall. Like the others, after taking off the weird clothes, this person was still wrapped in thick iron chains.
This man was the giant man who attacked Liu Xin, and the face he showed was indeed that of a northern barbarian.
"That young man... is quite powerful. Do you have time to find out where this man came from?" After the giant man took off his clothes, he still kept the thick iron chains wrapped around his body. He slowly sat on the table next to him. Go up and make a dull sound from your mouth, speaking in the Northern Barbarian language.
"Yes, Master Buhe!" Another man on the side replied in Northern Barbarian.
If Liu Xin heard the name Bu He, he would definitely react immediately.
Two years ago, Holy Sect Liu Xin and Evil Sect Xuesheng worked together to draw up a list of the top 100 masters in the world. At first, it was just a playful move between the two of them. Later, it was leaked out somehow, but unexpectedly it was recognized by the world.
And this Bu He is the tenth master of the Northern Barbarians in the Jianghu Top 100 list!
