Two or three months after the turmoil in Xuanhua City, people still mentioned this matter from time to time, ranging from the grand restaurants on Bafang Street where a cup of wine cost a hundred gold, to the teahouses in Xuanhua City where you can fill your belly with just a few copper coins. There is no lack of discussion on all of them, and the trend remains the same for a while, and it may not have faded even half a month after three months.
People come and go in the teahouse, and people from all walks of life gather here. It is not uncommon to see people traveling from north to south to enjoy their food. Especially those people who have no fixed place in the world. In their free time, they like to come to these places to explore. Even if I arrived, I would not be able to intervene in the affairs surrounding Xuanhua City. I would just do something new to kill some time. Not to mention those people with ordinary martial arts skills, the ordinary people who have nothing to do all day long in Xuanhua City are very happy to go to the stalls outside the teahouses and ask for a pot of the same coarse grains when they have nothing to do. Pour the tea soup into a bowl and take a few sips from time to time. I wish I could grow a few more ears on the back of my head to listen to the comments of the people around me, so I can borrow some bragging rights.
It has become a common saying in Xuanhua City that people in Jianghu drink tea when they are poor, eat wine when they are rich, and go shopping in flower houses with only half money. It may not be very clever, but it is almost the same as the truth.
The heat has not subsided in July and August, but people around Xuanhua City have long been accustomed to it. At first, there were still a few people complaining. After half a year of continuous heat, no one mentioned it. At most It is to look for a quiet place where there is no one around, stretch out the sleeves, or simply go bare-chested. This is a place where girls from wealthy families in the city will definitely not come. Of course, there is nothing to worry about, just whether you are comfortable or not. .
"Listen to what people say, 80% to 70% of Bafang Street has been destroyed. Even if the city lord went to Bafang Street to stabilize the situation, he probably still has not settled the thoughts of those extremely visionary masters in Bafang Street. It seems that Bafang Street is really going to fall this time and will never see its former glory again.”
The teahouse closest to the Xuanhua City Gate Tower was almost full even though it was raining today. Two men with sharp faces on the second floor came without hats and raincoats, just in anticipation of this emergency. The rain can relieve the hot air that has been binding the whole body for a long time. Regardless of the fact that the whole body is drenched in rainwater, he wanted to serve two pots of tea, so he took a corner to sit down and started chatting. The area in the corner near the window lattice was already the most sought-after spot, but these two men looked really menacing. The two or three lean gangsters who had no tea to drink here saw it and restrained themselves from showing off. Without saying a word, they stood up and left. Go and make room for the two of you.
"That's not entirely true," another man held up the bowl, poured the tea into his throat in an instant, wrung out the rainwater from his clothes and said with a smile, "Never mind that the street owner was cut into more than a dozen pieces by his enemies, he is still I don't want to care about the worldly things anymore, so I just find a reason to get away. Bafang Street is still the same Bafang Street, it just has a different owner. Maybe some wealthy people in the street have the intention of moving out, but who wants to leave? For those street owners who have left the boundary that they have lived in for many years, let alone damaged their foundations, and built Bafang Street with iron and water, Bafang Street is no good, in my opinion."
On the second floor, there was a young man who looked like a gangster sitting early. What was placed on the table was not a teapot, but a full jar of wine. He held the jar with one arm and poured it into the cups from time to time. The wine was dripping down. Slowly, but this man's hand was motionless and firm. Without others speaking, they knew that his method was unpredictable.
There are all kinds of people in the teahouse all day long, and they are all good at observing words and expressions. They all know that this seemingly ordinary young man wearing a bamboo hat is probably a capable person with a great background. He can weigh heavy things and light things with just this hand. His ability is not much weaker than that of the so-called masters of martial arts, so from the second child to the martial arts people around him, no one dares to get close.
But after hearing the words of the two men, the young man wearing a bamboo hat at the altar stopped slightly and looked in the direction of the two men intentionally or unintentionally.
"What are you looking at?" The man who spoke first turned his head, with an unkind expression on his face. The corners of his mouth and brows were raised together, and he looked at the young hero wearing a bamboo hat, very impatiently.
"You still have to wear a hat in the building and act pretentious. I don't know what you are capable of at your age."
Although the face of the young man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat could not be seen, you could still hear the chuckle.
So everyone drinking tea on the second floor turned their attention to this place. Those who only had two or three sips of tea soup left hurriedly drank it, got up and walked to the distance to watch, hoping that these two men and the young knight would A hearty fight, no matter whether the young hero received a few punches or kicks, or whether the two men were thrown downstairs by the former, it was a great drama to relieve boredom.
But the young man in black and wearing a bamboo hat did not do anything. He just took the two cups in front of him and filled the wine jar. With a few snaps of his fingers, the two cups instantly fell on the table between them. , without leaking a drop.
"I have heard for a long time that there are many Jianghu people in Xuanhua City, and I also know that as Jianghu people, if they disagree, they will decide the winner or loser. However, I have never had such thoughts. I was just curious about what the two of them just said, and overheard them. Quan said... This wine is a waste."
No matter how ignorant these two men are, they still know how to push the cup without leaking a drop. There are probably only two or three in the whole Xuanhua City. They all know that they have encountered a serious quarrel. They are in a dilemma for a while, and their faces are uncertain. It's really hard to decide what the action should be.
"The wine is not very good, but it is quite clean. There is absolutely no reason to wait for someone to do something about a disagreement."
The young hero spoke again, and there was no hint of annoyance.
The two men looked at each other, actually picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, showing a little smile.
Therefore, the tea drinkers who felt very regretful all dispersed one after another, secretly thinking of bad luck. They never saw any sophisticated tricks, nor did they see two groups of people fighting each other for gambling. They threw two people downstairs, but the three of them sat down. Going to a place to have a drink is the most boring thing.
"We are new here. We have only been around Xuanhua City for a few months. We claim to have learned the skill of picking flowers, palms and fallen leaves from home. At least our boxing and kicking skills are not bad. If we can win the championship here, it is best to open a martial arts gym to teach people. Although I have never met a few people with real skills and won many times in martial arts, the people here said that even if I and I are not weak in martial arts, we can't defeat the two people who left the city long ago. The two Zhu Kuai and Gaoyong from Baiqiong Tower may not have the upper hand."
"Brother, we really haven't defeated Gao Yong and Zhu Kuai. Their fists and feet are too strong. They can't pick flowers and sweep away fallen leaves. They are only five or six years old. Of course, the business is not prosperous." The younger one The man muttered a few words in a low voice, but his brother immediately grabbed his heels, and he pretended to be grinning and didn't dare to say another word.
The young man wearing a bamboo hat smiled at the corner of his mouth, and it sounded a bit pretentious. He nodded and praised, "Zhu Kuai, Gao Yong, both have their own strengths in boxing. The only thing is that it is a pity that they have been stuck in their own ways for many years." , to put it harshly, you may not even encounter a master who is provoking troubles in Bafang Street. His boxing skills have obviously lost their sharpness. Although he has not neglected his boxing practice for many years, in the end it is far inferior to being in the world of martial arts. He is the fastest to enter the country. .”
The younger man was clearly slandering. He was about to open his mouth, but was silenced by the eyes of his eldest brother, so he did not speak. Instead, he quietly held up the cup, drank two or three glasses of wine, and forced the words down his throat. middle.
After all, he has not been involved in the world for as long as his elder brother, and is even more sharp. It is most difficult to hold back his words, but he clearly knows that his elder brother has guessed some of the young hero's background, so even though he is resentful in every way, he can't hold back his words. I had to keep my thoughts in my chest.
"What I heard from my brother is that I have fought with Zhu Kuai Gaoyong several times, but in recent years I have heard from others that these two people have not had any failures. After all, they are the first-class masters in Baiqiong Tower. Little brother He is not very young, but his methods are very shocking."
The big man squinted his eyes, but he couldn't see through the black gauze around the boy's bamboo hat, and his expression was uncertain for a long time.
"That's ridiculous," the young man in black chuckled. He drank the contents of the cup with a cup held in the black gauze, and breathed out comfortably, "I saw two people who looked very much like two old friends who didn't have much friendship, but they were abrupt. , Now we just have some friendship over a glass of wine, and if I stay in the city in the future, I will take care of you."
He had already seen that the younger man couldn't sit still, and the man in black also understood it, and said briefly, "Zhu Kuai's boxing skills are very good, but it is a pity that most of the edges have been worn away over the years. If there are two or three times of life and death, he will definitely He is able to sway in the wind, and Gao Yong's fists and kicks are sharp and swift. To put it bluntly, he is weak in his body and bones and has a thin body, so naturally he cannot exert all the power in his fists and kicks."
After two or three sticks of incense, the man in black resigned, held his bamboo hat steady, and walked downstairs step by step. Finally, he glanced upstairs, thinking of the two very interesting men, and smiled slightly.
When I was in Caixian Beach, I heard my master tell Yan Siguan that there were two brothers who guarded the gate for Zhang Qing. One was called Jinsuo and the other was called Jinmen. They were also big and round. Looking at the extraordinary strength and strength, they are very similar to the two men whose names are unknown, both in body shape and temperament.
But I don't know where these two people are now, whether they have already joined the army, guarding the border in an unknown place, or are riding horses and holding halberds.
"This can probably be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign land?" Yun Zhong raised his head, finally looked in the direction of Bafang Street, then without saying a word, he walked straight out of the city with a gourd full of wine.
When Zhu Kuai and Gao Yong were outside the city, they did not use their true skills. It was difficult for Yun Zhong to guess the reason. However, since they did not use all their strength, they could still use the words of the two brothers to give some advice. Two sentences, the right to thank you.
The green ox leisurely and swaying away from Xuanhua.
