When An Shilu saw his father facing the man in black, he called out "Dad" angrily and helplessly, but An Yuanshan ignored him.
The man in black pointed his sword at An Shilu and said, "Just now he was walking through the streets and alleys, and his horse stepped on my friend's lantern."
An Shilu quickly grabbed Bai and said, "How much is a lantern worth? I'll just accompany you!"
"Shilu!" Anyuanshan shouted to stop An Shilu.
"Do you think you can solve it with a few dirty dollars?" The man in black sneered, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Why are you so serious? It seems that you don't know how powerful grandpa is if I don't give you a look." An Shilu couldn't bear it any more, so he raised his knife and was about to chop him off.
Anyuanshan was calm and composed, knowing that the man in black was here to cause trouble. Thinking that when he was fighting with Shilu just now, he didn't fight back. An Yuanshan also wanted to see how capable he was, so he didn't stop An Shilu, but just put his hands behind his back and took his time. Watch.
"stop!"
When An Shilu was about to ride his horse and pick up his sword, a loud shout came from behind, followed by a sound of armor scraping. It turned out to be the night guard of the capital, about one or two hundred people, in an orderly queue, with neat steps and quick steps. The one who ran followed the officer on horseback in front.
"Idle people, leave quickly!" The guards dispersed the crowd after a while, and then surrounded the men in black, Anyuanshan and others.
The leading officer was respectful when he saw Anyuanshan. He dismounted and saluted with fists in his hands, "Amber, I heard that there is some trouble here, so I came here to take a look."
This officer was very rough-looking, with a sharp mouth and a monkey face, and the beard on his mouth seemed to stand on end when he spoke.
Anyuanshan returned the salute with his hand, but when he was about to say something, An Shilu suddenly became arrogant as if he saw reinforcements, "General Hu, that's him!" An Shilu pointed at the man in black angrily, "This kid is causing trouble. , take him down quickly."
"Shut up!" Anyuanshan shouted to his son, "It's just a trivial matter to bother General Hu. He's just a passerby. It's nothing!"
An Shiqing also hurriedly got off his horse and apologized, "Thank you for your hard work, General Hu. How can such a small thing bother General Hu Dayou's Jinwu Guards! Let's just make way and go home."
"It's easy to talk about!" Hu Dayou smiled awkwardly, then raised his chest and cleared his throat and asked the man in black, "Who are you? Why are you blocking Uncle Ping Yuan's bicycle frame? Fortunately, Amber forgives you today and doesn't get out of the way. "Hu Dayou deliberately raised his voice after speaking, hoping to scare the man in black away.
The man in black snorted coldly and said coldly: "They are the same as each other."
"I think you are toasting and not eating as punishment." After Hu Dayou said this, he waved his right hand and motioned for his men to take him down.
In an instant, a group of people unsheathed their swords and swarmed up, surrounding the man in black. The man in black didn't panic, but he saw the cold light of the sword in his hand flashing. Within a few moves, the soldiers rushing in front fell to the ground, and another wave of attacks followed.
"Get out of the way!" An Shilu saw that the incompetent man couldn't take him down. He patted his horse and stepped forward. He and his horse were all out of the way, but he didn't pay attention to the masked man behind him. He ran away after the horse. Come.
While the man in black was fighting with the person in front of him, he heard the sound of horse hooves in his ears. Looking back from the corner of his eye, he saw An Shilu holding up a long knife. The cold light of the blade had also flashed to his forehead, and he was about to chop it off. At this moment, An Shilu yelled "Ah", "No!", and the horse raised its front hooves and fell backward. It turned out that another masked man behind him had pulled the horse's tail back deeply, and An Shilu Shi Lu had already fallen to the ground together with the horse. Anyuanshan, Hu Dayou and a group of other people also stared blankly in surprise.
When Hu Dayou and others came to their senses, the man in black and the masked man had already passed through the crowd. The indignant Hu Dayou said angrily: "You are a bunch of trash, why don't you hurry up and chase me!"
A group of guards chased after the retreating figure, chasing him through the streets and alleys, but they had long since disappeared. Several guard captains reluctantly discussed a few reasons and went back to resume their duties.
The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and the biting cold wind was whistling through the alley. Under a pile of abandoned low walls, the man in black was kowtowing to the masked man. The masked man made no secret and took off his blue veil. It turned out to be Lu Zuo, and Lu Renxiang stood beside him. Lu Renxiang hurriedly helped the man in black up and said, "Hero, please get up quickly."
The man in black was fierce and stood up suddenly, "My benefactor deserves my respect!"
After that, the man in black took off his black veil. Lu Renxiang and Lu Renxiang were stunned when they saw it. Judging from his appearance, this man was just a handsome young man who was still an adult. He was thick-skinned and had fine features, but his complexion was slightly dark. It can be seen that it was exposed to the sun from practicing martial arts all year round.
"I can't believe that such a master of kung fu can be a young youngster!" After Lu Renxiang said this, he and Lu Zuo looked at each other and smiled.
The young man smiled awkwardly, "I'm ashamed, junior!" He bowed to Lu Zuo, "This brother has really achieved great strength just now. I admire him very much. If you don't give up, I hope that brother can accept me as his disciple."
The young man in black couldn't help but bow his head after saying this. Lu Zuo glanced at Lu Renxiang and laughed: "This young man is quite straightforward and interesting! Haha!"
Lu Zuo calmly helped the young man up, "We don't know who the other is?"
"Apprentice Yin Ji is from Xihe County."
"Oh!" Lu Zuo's face looked a little gloomy, but suddenly he looked as usual and smiled, "It seems that we are still half fellow villagers. Did you come to Kyoto alone?"
"Exactly! Yin Ji has practiced martial arts since he was a child and visited famous teachers everywhere. He has long heard that Kyoto is lively, so he came here to see how lively the New Year is in Kyoto."
Lu Renxiang also loved the young man in front of him very much, so he asked curiously: "Then your parents don't care about you?"
When Yin Ji heard the word "parents", he couldn't help but his face sank, "Yin Ji's family originally had five brothers and sisters. When I was two years old, there was a famine in my hometown, so my mother took me to the temple. Fortunately, the temple master Mercy adopted me and taught me some boxing and kicking. When I was ten years old, my master took me back to my hometown to visit my parents. Later, I heard in the village that they all starved to death in the disaster years." Yin Ji burst into tears after saying this. Over his dark face, he began to sob uncontrollably.
Lu Zuo stepped forward and patted Yin Ji on the shoulder, his eyes showing sympathy, "It's okay! If you don't dislike me, just follow me from now on!"
After hearing this, Yin Ji burst into tears and knelt down on the ground again, saying "Thank you, master".
Lu Zuo was also happy to hear this, helped Yin Ji up, and said with a smile: "Don't call me master, call me brother!"
"No, master, I have to call him master to be friendly! And Ji'er also hopes that master will teach me some more martial arts!"
Lu Zuo saw him raising the corners of his mouth and looking a little stubborn, "Okay, okay, then call me master."
"Ji'er!" Lu Zuo shouted a little stiffly, "Where are you staying now!"
"In an earth temple just outside the city!"
Lu Zuo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, sighed with love in his eyes, and then stroked Yin Ji's forehead.
"It's freezing cold, how can you, a young man, endure it?" Lu Renxiang couldn't help but ask.
Yin Ji pondered for a long time, then smiled foolishly, "I'm used to it!"
"If we keep talking, it will be daybreak. Ji'er, come back to the inn with us!" Lu Zuo said.
Lu Renxiang shivered, rubbed his hands and breathed, "It's really getting cold now. Let's go back and get some sleep!"
It was almost Yinshi when Lu Zuo and the others returned to "Gaosheng Inn". Yin Ji and Lu Zuo squeezed into the same bed together. This was the first time that Yin Ji slept on such a good bed, and it was also the first time that Yin Ji felt the warmth again after many years.
