Seeing two beggars blocking the way, Xiao Ning also recognized who the person behind him was. Wasn't it the beggar who had just treated him in the restaurant? At this moment, I also knew that the other party had admitted the wrong person, and was about to explain it out loud. Unexpectedly, Elder Xiahou couldn't help but grab the iron rod in his hand. He used the iron rod to his head and struck with a "shock on the ground" move, with the sound of wind. Come down.
Xiao Ning didn't have time to say anything at this time, so he had to pull out the steel knife from the saddle bridge with his backhand. He saw that although the iron rod was struck head-on, the head of the rod trembled and pointed at his shoulders, and all escape routes were blocked. live. He had no time to hold the knife upright, so he had to hold the knife behind his back, with the back of the knife attached to his arm, the blade pointed outwards, and he stepped forward, cutting the iron bar sideways with the knife, and the knife and sticks met and sparked a stream of sparks.
He opened the iron rod with a knife, but Xiao Ning did not turn the blade over. He just rushed forward and slashed Elder Xiahou's neck with his backhand knife. It was a move in the mountain knife technique of "pulling the five mountains upside down".
Elder Xiahou was shocked. Originally, he had missed the target and had a back-up move, but this move of "Drag the Five Mountains" was taken from the battle between horses. Such staggering was like two horses intersecting for a round. Elder Xiahou had never experienced the battlefield. , and how do you know such tricks? Not only are your back moves useless, but you are in danger of having your throat cut.
This move was extremely fast, and it was too late to return the stick and block it again. He had to bend sideways to let go of the cut. After the knife passed by, the iron rod hit harder, and his body bounced up like a spring, using one foot as the axis. With a sudden turn, his feet were connected to his waist, his arms were connected to his waist, and his arms were connected to his wrists. He swung the stick in his hand and swept across Xiao Ning's lower back like a windmill. This move comes quickly and violently, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder on the stick, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, but it is a move that can "carry the mountain over the sea".
Hearing the sound of the wind behind him, Xiao Ning did not turn around. He squatted down suddenly with the "Nanshan Cutting Sandalwood" move, letting the iron rod sweep over his head. However, he kept spinning like a top on the ground. He swung the steel knife in his hand, and the light of the knife flashed. It was no more than two feet high from the ground, cutting towards Elder Xiahou's calf.
Another move missed, and when he saw that his calf was about to be covered by the light of the sword, Elder Xiahou had no choice but to jump up and perform the "stone falling on the mountain" move, curling up and spinning in mid-air. , the iron rod stretched out and hit Xiao Ning on the back of the head.
Xiao Ning had just stood up. He didn't want to hear the wind above his head again. He thought that this beggar was really difficult to deal with. If it hadn't been for a misunderstanding, he would have really wanted to withdraw the machete and let go of the "Thirteen Thunder Stances" for a good stretch. Stretch him and measure him. But thinking about it, I had no choice but to shrink my neck and hide my head to get out of the way of this move. I dodged my steps and avoided it for several feet, and held the door with my sword horizontally.
Elder Xiahou over there also took the opportunity to fall down, and was even more surprised in his heart. He was the one who made the first move, but with these moves, he was slightly at a disadvantage. Looking at the opponent's momentum between advancing and retreating, attacking and defending, he was at a disadvantage. Dingshenxian, obviously not trying his best, knowing that if he takes action again, he will be hard to please, so he froze there for a moment.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the young beggar who was making trouble at the beginning laughed loudly, strode around to Xiao Ning, clasped his fists in front of his chest and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I don't know my brother's surname, I'm going to excuse him here in Xia Shi Le."
"Shi Le? Leader of the Beggar Clan!" Xiao Ning was shocked. Looking at this humble beggar, he never expected that this man was actually the leader of the Beggar Clan, one of the seven sects in the Central Plains.
But although he was surprised at this moment, no matter who it was that made people attack indiscriminately, he would inevitably be angry. At this moment, he just smiled coldly and said: "Xiao Ning. The leader of the Shi Gang is so majestic and indiscriminate. I was teasing and attacking me, if I were a little bit worse, I would have died a long time ago, then to whom can Gang Leader Shi tell this misunderstanding."
Shi Le also looked quite embarrassed at this time. He smiled dryly and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Xiao, don't be surprised. I just heard that the Shenyin Sect in Xiaowangzhuang asked for help. Fei Jianqing, the eleventh disciple of Yue Changhai, the Ghost Scholar, has already I brought people to help, and when I saw my brother wearing a Confucian shirt and riding a horse from the north, I thought it was the 'ghost scholar' who had arrived, so I led my brother here to set up an ambush."
After snatching Shi Le Yitong away, most of Xiao Ning's anger was gone. At this moment, he didn't want to argue too much. He clasped his fists and returned the gift: "I dare to ask the leader of Shi Gang, what happened in Xiaowangzhuang to attract a martial arts figure like you to come here?" .”
When asked this, not only Shi Le, but also the two people next to him turned red. Shi Le sighed and looked up at the sky, "Brother, it's getting late. If you don't give up, go to town first and let's find a place to talk in detail." .”
"That's fine." Xiao Ning nodded. A group of four people returned to the town and saw Shi Le knocking open a house and four people entering it.
Nothing could be seen from the outside of the house, but it was very bright inside. At this time, the owner went to prepare dinner. The four of them sat around the table. Shi Le let out a long sigh, and the smile that was always on his face disappeared. Xiao Ning asked, "Looking at my brother's martial arts skills, his moves are like the 'Mountain Sword Technique' of the Divine Sword Sect. I wonder who my brother studied under? But he was summoned by the noble sect's 'Double Sword', Young Master Luo Qingluo?"
Xiao Ning smiled slightly, "I am not a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, but I have a close relationship with the Divine Sword Sect. Yu Fangzhou and Wang Wei are my uncles, and Master Luo has also taught me skills. It's just that I I have been studying skills elsewhere in the past few years and have not been involved in the world. This time I came to Shendaomen to look for Uncle Wang."
"Oh." Shi Le nodded, "That brother is no longer an outsider. We should all be brothers in this matter."
"Oh?" Xiao Ning asked strangely, "I wonder what it is?"
"Hey..." Shi Le sighed again, "This matter is a shame for my gang. Since the death of the Shen Dao Sect hero Yu six years ago due to the joint efforts of the Shenyin Sect and a group of thieves, the Shen Dao Sect and the The Golden Spear Sect teamed up to pursue the murderer, causing a turmoil in the entire martial arts world. This time, Jiang Shen, the seventh disciple of the Shenyin Sect, led his men to sneak into the Central Plains, intending to attack the Shenjian Sect's mountain gate, but the news was leaked and was led by Luo Qing, the son of the Luo Clan Master. They’re stuck in Xiaowangzhuang.”
"Hey," Shi Le sighed again, picked up the cup and took a sip of water. The two elders Xiahou also lowered their heads in shame, "I didn't want to know now that it was me, the Beggar Gang Xiang, who lured Jiang Shen to the Central Plains this time. The state is divided into rudders." Shi Le shook his head repeatedly when he said this.
"The Xiangzhou branch is located outside Xiaowangzhuang. Jiang Shen was defeated by Luo Shaoxia and others this time, so he hid in the Xiangzhou branch. The Shen Dao Sect has saved face for my Beggar Gang, and sent someone to inform Excuse me, I hurried over to discuss matters with Luo Shaoxia. On the way, I heard that Jiang Shen sent people to ask for help from the sect. Fei Jianqing, the eleventh disciple of the Shenyin Sect, has already arrived with his people. Fei Jianqing is wearing a Confucian shirt. , people in the world call him the 'ghost scholar', so today I saw my brother wearing a long gown, so many misunderstandings arose."
Xiao Ning also laughed when he heard that the knot in his heart was relieved, "But it is like this. I can't blame Gang Leader Shi. I wonder if Gang Leader Shi can see Shao Xia Luo."
Shi Le shook his head, "No, we just arrived and saw our brothers in the restaurant. Due to a misunderstanding, we planned to get rid of our brothers first and then go to see Luo Shaoxia."
"Hahahaha," Xiao Ning also clapped his hands and laughed, "When will Gang Leader Shi go see that Young Master Luo? It's time for me to say goodbye."
When Shi Le heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey, it's getting late, why should Brother Xiao look for another place? This place is originally a secret station of the Yi Gang, and there are many empty rooms. You can take a rest tonight. Besides, I’ve already sent someone to invite Mr. Luo, and we’ll talk while we’re young.”
Xiao Ning pondered for a moment and said something, then he clasped his fists at the other two people, "Xiao Ning and the three of you are not acquainted with each other. This kid is new to the world and has little knowledge. I haven't asked the two seniors for advice yet." surname."
The old beggar who had taken action just now smiled awkwardly and clasped his fists in salute, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Young Master Xiao is so good at what he does. He is truly a hero. I am Xia Houyuan, the elder of the Nine Bags of the Beggar Clan, and this is Qin Li, the elder of the Eight Bags of Punishment."
Qin Li also quickly clasped his fists, and Shi Le also laughed out loud and waved his hands: "Brother Xiao, it's my fault, I didn't introduce him to you." He pointed at Xia Houyuan with his hand, "This is the two members of the humble gang." One of the Big Nine Bags Elders is the Law Enforcement Elder. The other Elder Qin is the Eight Bags Punishment Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. This time I brought the two elders here with the intention of cleaning up the family. Everything will be discussed together when Young Master Luo comes. .”
"Yes." Xiao Ning nodded and met the two elders again. Just as Xia Houyuan was about to speak, he heard someone outside shouting: "Gang leader, Young Master Luo Qing is here."
"Oh?" Shi Le stood up immediately upon hearing this, "I'll go and greet you."
The four of them got up and went out of the house, and saw that the owner of the house opposite also led the four of them into the courtyard. There are two people in front of them. On the left is a young man in his mid-twenties. He is about eight feet tall. His hair is tied with a gold hairpin. He has a white face and no beard. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He has a righteous look on his face. He is wearing a light blue outfit, a hero's cloak, and a pair of shoes at his feet. He was wearing thin-soled fast boots and holding a weapon in his hand. If he looked closely at the scabbard, he saw two steel knives inserted into it.
On his right is a woman, just over 20 years old, with a double bun, almond-shaped eyes and pink cheeks. Her face is heroic and very handsome. She is dressed in a white outfit with a branch of red plum embroidered on it. There are also plum blossoms on the plain cloak behind her. The treasure bag under his ribs was bulging, and his hands were empty, but the maid behind him was holding a tasseled spear.
Shi Le saw the two of them laughing loudly, and clasped his hands in fists, "Young Master Luo, Miss Shao, you and I meet again."
It turned out that these three people had known each other for a long time. When Luo Qing saw Shi Le coming to greet him, Luo Qing quickly stepped forward and bowed to the ground, "How dare you have Lao Shi Gang Leader to greet you." The woman next to him also quickly saluted.
"Hey," Shi Le supported Luo Qing with one hand and supported the woman with the other hand, not letting the two of them bow. "You two young heroes are so polite. You and I are close in age. Why do you need these customs? Come on, let's go home." Come in, please." He turned around and told the host again, "Let's serve the food."
At this time, a group of people entered the room and the guests and hosts were seated. Shi Le first introduced the two elders of the gang, and then pointed to Xiao Ning and said: "Young Master Luo, this Brother Xiao also met in this town. He is a member of your sect." My dear friends, I came here just to find you, your Majesty."
"Oh?" Luo Qing responded curiously, looked at Xiao Ning up and down, clasped his fists and asked, "I don't know what to call this brother. What do you have to do with my father?"
With a smile on his face, Xiao Ning clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Senior Brother Luo, I'm here to invite you. Xiao Ning was taught by his uncles Yu and Wang when he was young, and later received art gifts from Uncle Luo. He left without saying goodbye last time, but something special happened today. Come and make amends.”
"Xiao Ning, you are brother Xiao Ning!" Luo Qing shouted and stood up, "I have often heard my father and the third uncle talking about you these years. Where have you been in recent years? Uncle Master often thinks that he regrets letting you go alone at that time, when life and death are unclear."
Xiao Ning gave a bitter smile, "But this is embarrassing for Uncle Wang. I have been practicing martial arts behind closed doors for the past few years, and it seems like it has been several years in a blink of an eye. I am really worried about my uncle."
"Oh," Luo Qing sighed and sat down, "Brother Xiao, wait a moment." He turned around and said to the man standing behind him with his hands hanging down, "Luo Zhong, please ride back overnight to see if the third uncle has returned. See you. Just say that Brother Xiao is back and is already here, so he brought the purple-gold dragon head with him."
Luo Zhong just responded behind him, but the woman named Shao sitting next to him raised her hand and said coldly: "Brother Qing, wait a minute." At this time, everyone's eyes were focused.
