A pair of men and women in white clothes were eating dumplings at a roadside stall. The tables next to them were full of people. The waiter in the shop was so busy that when he raised his head inadvertently, he was startled.
The atmosphere in the stall seemed to be stagnant.
Just because a man who looked as haggard as a ghost walked over.
He wandered like a ghost, his sunken eyes scanning table after table, and finally came to the pair of men and women in white, and slowly spoke, making a harsh gold and stone sound, "Can you sit down?"
Yao Tiao raised his head and looked at him. He was shocked and a little confused. You Xie Guanzhao didn't die in the river. You are lucky, so why do you dare to come to the door?
Xie Guanzhao stared at him, and the next second, the seventeenth martial arts master in the world said something that was very embarrassing.
"I walked here from Frost Flower City and I didn't eat anything the whole way."
This sentence amused the nervous Princess Nanzhao, and she covered her mouth with a smile.
Yao Tiao was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Want to eat and drink?"
Xie Guanzhao shook his head, "No, I've thought about it. If you treat me to a bowl of dumplings today, I will work hard for Wu Peixian from now on."
"You have to work hard for a bowl of dumplings." Yao Tiao joked: "Your requirements for Xie Guanzhao are really low. After all, you are a master of more than ten years of martial arts evaluation, and you live in such a miserable state. If this spreads out, it will not be possible. Being laughed at by everyone in the world.”
Xie Guanzhao stared at him expressionlessly, and just asked: "Please treat me to a bowl of dumplings, and I will work hard for Wu Peixian, is it okay?"
Yao Tiao smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, Princess Nanzhao stood up, walked to the waiter, took out a few coins from the brocade purse, and bought a bowl of dumplings.
However, a bowl of dumplings is definitely not enough.
Xie Guanzhao devoured the food, as if he was a starving man in his previous life. He had finished a whole bowl of dumplings in the blink of an eye, not even the soup was left. If the white porcelain bowl hadn't been inedible, he would probably have started chewing on the bowl.
Yao Tiao seemed to be watching a joke and said with a smile: "Give him another bowl."
But it is indeed a joke. Nowadays, those who are seeking fame and reputation in the world are just sitting in a few small sects and acting as guest elders, and they get a lot of money. You are a great master who is in the top ten in martial arts evaluation, but you have to be treated to a bowl of dumplings. What if someone doesn’t invite you? Are you about to starve to death? In the 17th year of the martial arts review, he thanked Guanzhao and became the first master in the world to starve to death.
Princess Nanzhao bought him another bowl, and the result was the third bowl, the fourth bowl, the fifth bowl... In the end, Xie Guanzhao ate seventeen bowls!
The Nanzhao princess clutched the shriveled brocade money bag tightly, with tears in her eyes, wanting to cry. That was the money she had saved so hard, and she was not willing to spend it randomly. Many times when she saw beautiful rouge and gouache, she was not willing to buy it. As a result, it was all eaten by this man today.
Yao Tiao couldn't help but laugh, rubbed her little head, and said comfortingly: "I will pay you back when I get back later, and give you a few more copper coins."
The woman curled her lips and lowered her head, still unhappy.
Yao Tiao said softly: "I won't go out tonight, can I stay with you?"
The woman suddenly raised her head, grasped his hand tightly with both hands, and nodded vigorously.
Xie Guanzhao, who was drinking soup, suddenly asked: "Is she mute?"
A terrible battle ensued.
The last time he knocked Xie Guanzhao into the river, Yao Tiao actually only used nine percent of his strength, because although he cut off the river, he had no murderous intention.
This time, even Xie Guanzhao did not have murderous intentions, but he had murderous intentions. He no longer reserved his strength, but used 12% of his strength to punch him into a deep pit in the earth, and then punched him one after another. , not hitting the vital points, but only hitting the face that was as withered as a ghost, until Xie Guanzhao's face was covered in blood.
If Princess Nanzhao hadn't pulled him, Yao Tiao probably wouldn't have stopped. He let out this fierce sigh and added another forceful kick before leaving, completely ignoring the elegant name of the white-clothed boxing fairy.
The woman took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. She lowered her head and did not see Yao Tiao's gentle eyes.
I, Yao Tiao, have stained my hands with blood countless times, and you always wipe it for me like this. I, Yao Tiao, have killed so many people in front of your eyes, but you are not afraid of me at all. But you are obviously so timid.
Silly girl, why are you so good?
How could such a good girl be met by me, Yao Tiao?
The woman carefully put away the bloody handkerchief, raised her head, and smiled softly at him.
Yao Tiao said softly: "Before I leave for Shuanghua City, I will take you to the City God's Temple. I heard that hanging a written wish on a peach tree can pray for blessings and ward off disasters. Then we can go and ask for a wish. What happens after that? , it may take me a few months to come back, you just stay at home and wait for me."
Looking at her curved eyebrows, he actually had one sentence left unsaid.
"Silly girl, I will marry you when I come back. You must be extremely beautiful in your phoenix crown, right?"
The warm winter sun was shining brightly, and people in Shuanghua City were bustling. A burly bearded swordsman came to the roadside wine stall. He was wearing the clothes of Tai'an Escort Bureau and exuding a sharp aura, which made everyone want to stay away.
The waiter had no choice but to bravely go up to him, put on a polite smile, and asked carefully: "What would you like to drink, sir?"
"Two bowls of soju." The bearded swordsman said solemnly, and slapped a broken piece of silver on the table, "No need to look for it."
The waiter put away the broken silver, quickly put down other tasks in his hands, and first served two bowls of fine shochu to the distinguished guest.
"Your Majesty, please take your time."
The bearded swordsman just frowned and looked at the distant street scene.
The escort was robbed twice by horse bandits along the way. Thanks to being a fourth-grade warrior, he was able to escape any danger. After arriving at Shuanghua City to deliver the escort, the escort was finally over. I stayed here for a day to rest and have to go back tomorrow.
He wanted to see if he could meet the white-haired young man, or the prince of the Dajing Dynasty.
The battle in the Green Belt City was earth-shattering. Why did the whole world spread the rumor that the prince and the seventh swordsman in the martial arts review teamed up to ask a great monk who was born out of nowhere. As for how powerful the great monk was, people in the world spread rumors that he was the first person to reach the ninth level in five hundred years. After all, news came out from the South Cliff a few days ago, causing the two dynasties and the Immortal Family to explode. The pot was boiling, and the man who had been the best in the world for decades was defeated. He was defeated by an old man who appeared for the first time in Green Belt City. Since the number one in the world is half-step to the Nine Realms, then the person who can beat him is most likely to be the Nine Realms.
Why does this bearded swordsman who has just entered the rank want to meet Geiryu?
Because he wanted to fight again, even though he knew he would lose, but he still punched the higher one. Moreover, the two of them had an unfinished fight and also agreed to meet in Frost Flower City.
He is not afraid of the name of the Plague God Prince. In the final analysis, he just wants to see with his own eyes whether you, Geiliu, are as evil and ridiculous as the rumors in the world say. Or is it true that you are a man of gold and jade on the outside, and you have deceived the eyes of everyone in the world.
He may seem cynical, but he is actually very thoughtful. If the city hadn't been extremely deep, how could his fellow disciple die in Greenbelt City?
There is a private house in a corner of the palace. Only the Queen and His Majesty the Emperor can enter, not even the prince. There are thousands of files piled inside, some of which contain shocking secrets about the dynasty, and some of which contain detailed records of various characters. There is a file that records this bearded swordsman who was born in the royal family of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Only a few people in the world know that the true identity of this bodyguard at the bottom of the Tai'an Bodyguard Bureau is actually the son of the old Emperor Dafeng, and he is the first son.
But he was not the eldest son, nor the prince of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Because her mother was just a maid.
After his mother died of illness, he began to travel far and wide, and came to this foreign country. With the skills he had honed in two rivers and lakes, he made a living at the Tai'an Escort Agency.
Now the old emperor Dafeng is critically ill and is expected to die soon. Even if a miracle doctor can rejuvenate him, he can only live for a few more years at most. After that, the eldest son should naturally succeed to the throne, but the old emperor actually deposed the crown prince. And there was no new crown prince for a long time. He just said "the old sword has a deep love" in front of all the civil and military officials.
All the officials knew that the old emperor was missing the maid who died of illness early. But at the same time, they were also frightened. His Majesty the Emperor deposed the crown prince just because of a trivial matter. Did he want her son to succeed to the throne?
Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!
But they don't know that half of the fortune of the Dafeng Dynasty now lies in this servant girl's son, and his fate is Ziwei Emperor, so he is born with the qualifications of a great emperor!
The bearded swordsman himself is well aware of the fact that luck is with him, otherwise how could a person with a broken martial arts foundation be able to reach the fourth level?
He really wanted to see the white-haired young man again. The only two people with great luck in the world could meet each other. If the winner was determined, the strength of the two dynasties in the future could be seen to a certain extent.
But what is the premise?
These two people must be the future emperor.
What's the meaning?
It was this bearded swordsman drinking at a roadside wine stall who agreed to the old emperor's request to take charge of the future Dafeng Dynasty!
He stood up suddenly, his eyes burning. It doesn't matter if I can't see you today. You will be your Emperor Dajing, and I will be my Emperor Dafeng. If we have a chance to meet in the future, it will be a dragon robe meeting a dragon robe!
After drinking the two bowls of wine in one go and turning to leave, he suddenly thought of a question. Nowadays, the relationship between Dafeng and Dajing continues to deteriorate, and if this continues, it will definitely become a fire and water situation. If one day, for the sake of the Dafeng Dynasty, I have to fight with that white-haired man, what kind of scene will it be?
Who knows?
In the spring of the 16th year of Yongshuang, shortly after the announcement of the imperial examination in Chunwei, the Dafeng Dynasty also held a grand event, holding a canonization ceremony, conferring the crown prince title, great joy, and hundreds of officials paying homage.
The old emperor, who was at the end of his strength, walked down the steps tremblingly and personally gave the emperor's sword "Taikang". He did not say the words prepared by the attendant, but patted the man on the shoulder and said with a gentle smile: "Don't let me down. Don’t let your mother down.”
From then on, the man became the prince of the Dafeng Dynasty.
