The days seemed to be calm again.
Xu Shi did not deliberately conceal the beating of Wang Weiren, but the news came out from nowhere that the Man Yue Inn was bullying guests and beating them up.
This made the already tepid inn even worse. No matter how noisy and lively the streets outside were, it was deserted inside without a single guest.
Zhang Ren didn't care much about this situation, and he was happy to be free. Anyway, he had just earned two thousand taels. If he relied on the inn's revenue, he might not be able to earn that much in ten years.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but shook his head. He was really corrupt. After all, he was an upright martial artist, but he actually had such an idea.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then sat in the lobby and fell asleep. A casual nap in the afternoon can make people feel that life is very comfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, someone entered the inn.
Although Zhang Ren was sleeping, due to his life in the past few years, he would remain alert enough even when sleeping. He quietly raised his eyes and saw a man carrying a long knife walking in.
Since the last incident with Wang Weiren, Han Qin seemed to have lost interest in the waiter's job and dragged Tong Yi out all day long. It seemed that no matter what era, shopping was a favorite thing for girls.
The original waiter in the inn thought that he would be fired, but in the past few days, Han Qin no longer competed for his job, so he acted very actively and hard-working.
Seeing a guest coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, do you want to work as a guest or stay at the hotel?"
The man carrying the long sword looked to be about forty or fifty years old. His face was stern, and he had a cold aura around him. He only glanced at the waiter lightly, and then the waiter was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back. .
The waiter is just an ordinary person. Where have you seen such an imposing person? He mixed the garlic at his feet and was about to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the man with the long sword supported him and asked, "Are you okay?"
The waiter shook his head repeatedly: "No...it's okay."
The man with the long sword nodded slightly and said, "A bowl of plain noodles and a pot of strong wine."
The waiter nodded, led him to his seat, and immediately ran towards the kitchen.
This man with a long sword is definitely a master, Zhang Ren thought with a frown.
Although Zhang Ren is considered a Jianghu person, he doesn't like the rules of being a Jianghu person, because the Ming Dynasty's officials cannot control those Jianghu people, so it is inevitable that some Jianghu people will break the laws, and chaos will arise from this.
This is also a normal thing. When the rules cannot restrain you, you will inevitably cross the red line of restraint. Furthermore, most people in the world are illiterate and there are very few people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality. This also leads to the In real life, there are very few Jianghu people who do not violate the law.
The man with the long sword seemed to feel Zhang Ren's gaze. He also looked at Zhang Ren. The two looked at each other for a moment, then quickly looked away.
After a while, several more people came into the inn. These people all carried weapons with them. It goes without saying that they are all from the world.
Strange to say
Zhang Ren shook his head. It seemed that he couldn't sleep at this time.
Now the waiter has gone to the kitchen to pass the food and hasn't come back yet.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to stand up and greet him personally: "Are you guys working as a top or staying in a hotel?"
A few Jianghu people were also polite. They bowed their hands towards Zhang Ren and said, "Thank you for your hard work, storekeeper. Just give us some cheap and simple food."
Zhang Ren nodded, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Not everyone in this world is as rich as Wang Weiren, and most of them still live in poverty and embarrassment.
Several Jianghu people sat down under Zhang Ren's arrangement. There were only two tables in the inn. As soon as they sat down, they noticed the man carrying a long knife.
After a moment of summing up, they stood up and came to the man with the long sword. They cupped their hands and asked, "Senior, is this the Supreme Sword Master Yan?"
The man with the long sword looked up at the young men in front of him, nodded, and said, "I am
It's Yan Wusheng. "
After receiving a positive answer, several people stood up and bowed respectfully again. After reporting their names one by one, the leader said: "There are no swordsmen in the world who can have such momentum, except Yan. There are no more seniors. I wonder if Senior Yan will also go to Wudang Mountain this time?"
Hearing the words "Wudang Mountain", Zhang Ren on the side immediately pricked up his ears.
Yan Wusheng nodded slightly and answered very concisely: "Not bad."
Several people in the Jianghu seemed to be very happy, and the leader said: "That's great. With Senior Yan going to Wudang Mountain, I think there will be nothing to fear about the five heroes of the Wudang Sect."
Wudang Five? What the hell? Zhang Ren carefully calculated in his heart that he had four senior brothers. If he was added to the list, wouldn't there be exactly five people? Could it be that the Wudang Five are talking about having four senior brothers?
As soon as the leader finished speaking, someone next to him said, "Bah, what are the Wudang Five Heroes! How can the Wudang Clan deserve to be called a hero after they have done such a thing?"
What's going on? Did the Wu-Tang Clan dig up your ancestral grave or something? Even if you can't be worthy of being a hero, several other senior brothers are undoubtedly worthy of it.
Zhang Ren pricked up his ears, wanting to hear carefully why these people had such big prejudices against the Wudang Sect, and why they went to the Wudang Sect this time.
It's a pity that Yan Wusheng and those Jianghu guests didn't say a few words, and they didn't say anything more than the key points.
Although he was curious, Zhang Ren was patient and did not step forward to ask.
Several Jianghu guests paid their bills and left after their meal. Before leaving, they bowed their hands to Yan Wusheng and said that they would wait for Yan Wusheng at Wudang Mountain and bring the news that Hero Yan was going to the Wudang Sect. Go to boost your momentum.
Yan Wusheng returned the gift as a farewell to the others.
At this moment, Yan Wusheng was the only guest left in the Full Moon Inn. He had finished his noodles and was enjoying a glass of wine.
Zhang Ren called the waiter and said, "I have to go out for something. Please take good care of the store. If Qin'er and the others come back, tell them not to go out again and wait for me in the store."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Okay, boss, please go slowly."
Zhang Ren nodded lightly, glanced at Yan Wusheng again, and left the Full Moon Inn.
Yan Wusheng raised his head and drank the last glass of wine. He rubbed the glass a few times and said to the waiter, "Check out."
After checking out, Yan Wusheng also left the Full Moon Inn.
The reason why Zhang Wuji left the Full Moon Inn was naturally to find those Jianghu people and ask them what happened in Wudang Mountain.
The reason why he didn't ask in the inn was because Yan Wusheng was too powerful and gave people the impression that he was too dangerous. As for these Jianghu people, Zhang Ren felt that he could easily deal with them.
A few Jianghu people walked westward except for the Full Moon Inn. They walked out of the city gate for a while, and suddenly saw a man standing in the middle of the road in front of them.
This person is none other than Zhang Ren.
Several Jianghu people had just left the inn, and naturally they still remembered Zhang Ren's appearance. They had pretty good foot strength, but Zhang Ren was rushed in front of them. At this moment, they could figure out with their feet that Zhang Ren knew martial arts.
The leader of the Jianghu people walked up to Zhang Ren, raised his hands and said, "What else does the store have to do?"
Zhang Ren nodded slightly and asked, "Why are you going to Wudang?"
The leader of the Jianghu people frowned slightly. He did not answer Zhang Ren's question, but asked back: "Is the store owner also a Jianghu person?"
Zhang Ren thought for a while and replied: "That's right."
The leader of the Jianghu people asked again: "I wonder who the shop owner is?"
Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this important?"
The leader of the Jianghu people said: "Of course it is important. We consider ourselves to be from a well-established family. If the store owner and I are of the same mindset, we will naturally talk to our brother."
After hearing this, Zhang Ren burst out laughing.
The leader of the Jianghu people frowned slightly and asked, "Why is the shopkeeper laughing?
"
Zhang Ren opened his mouth and said, "Is this your first time traveling around the world?"
A few of them had indeed just finished their studies and came down the mountain. The leader of the Jianghu people was shocked and quickly asked: "How did the store owner know?"
Zhang Ren replied truthfully: "You two have little experience in the world of martial arts. You all say that you are from an upright family. Even if I am an evil heretic, do you think I would tell you?"
After hearing this, several people were startled and immediately became nervous. The leader looked at Zhang Ren's playful expression and put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Who are you? What sect do you come from?" the leader asked.
Zhang Ren smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to ask about the Wudang Clan. I don't mean to be your enemy."
Even after Zhang Ren said this, several people did not answer, but stared at Zhang Ren solemnly.
Zhang Ren had no choice but to shrug and said, "Okay, okay, that's all. I am a disciple of Taoist Priest Yuanyue, the head of the Wudang Sect. My name is Zhang Ren."
After hearing Zhang Ren's self-report, the Jianghu people were stunned for a moment. Then they pulled out their swords, shouted "dog thief" one by one, and rushed towards Zhang Ren.
Putting aside everything else, just talking about the momentum of these people, it was quite sufficient. This sudden change made Zhang Ren jump.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Why are you so ignorant of martial ethics? Why do you always change your attitude?"
But the only answer to Zhang Ren was the swords of those Jianghu people.
Seeing that Zhang Ren couldn't explain it, he had no choice but to take action.
Fortunately, these people are indeed novices in the martial arts. Not only do they have little experience in the martial arts, but their martial arts skills are not very good, and they are not even as good as Han Qin.
However, after a few moves, Zhang Ren surrendered the weapons in the hands of several people and stacked them on top of each other. Zhang Ren even sat on them.
"Can you talk about it now?"
