Outside on the green bamboo, a man in black was seen staring at Zhu Shun, his sword pointed at Zhu Shun, like a shooting star, he jumped down from the green bamboo and stabbed towards Zhu Shun.
Bamboo leaves were flying all around, and the man in black stabbed him instantly. The man in black jumped into the wooden window, and the tavern was filled with murderous intent.
The sharp sword of the man in black was reflected in the cold air like a mirror. Zhu Shun blocked it with his sword. He saw the man in black's internal energy surging. The man in black jumped up, as fast as an arrow, and held the sword. The sword stabbed towards Zhu Shun. The blade of the sword pierced the body of Zhu Shun and pushed Zhu Shun out several feet. The table and chairs were broken into pieces.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoqian quickly tapped her toes on the ground. Zhu Shun quickly threw the horizontal knife at his waist to Li Xiaoqian. Li Xiaoqian jumped up and immediately drew the knife out of its sheath.
Li Xiaoqian ran quickly and slashed at the man in black. The man in black kicked Zhu Shun in the chest and kicked Zhu Shun away. Zhu Shun fell to the ground with a bang.
The man in black turned around and started fighting with Li Xiaoqian, who was unable to resist.
Zhu Shun struggled to get up and stabbed the man in black with his sword. The man in black struggled with them with his sword. Together, they suppressed the man in black with difficulty.
The man in black's swordsmanship is elegant. When he swings his sword, there will be a dark afterimage from time to time, repeating his actions just now, erratic. The two of them are just struggling with each other. They know that there is a huge gap between their swordsmanship and this man's. Shi also didn't dare to take it lightly. If they didn't pay attention to the trajectory of his slashing, they would be seriously injured.
The tavern was now in a mess, with broken wine bottles and broken tables and chairs.
Uncle Hu held a kitchen knife to protect Aunt Liu. When the man saw that his tavern was in such shabby condition, he felt angry and cursed:
"That boy in black, what does your grandma have to worry about with us?"
The man cursed again:
"We, the two of us, have worked hard for the tavern for so many years, but you have ruined it into a state of disgrace!"
Seeing that the man was about to pick up the kitchen knife, he held it angrily and wanted to go up and chop the man in black. Aunt Liu held the man's arm and looked at the man with a pleading face. Aunt Liu's slender eyebrows were so charming, Aunt Liu said :
"Hu Cai, please don't go. If nothing happens to our family, it's already very good."
The man looked at Aunt Liu and said with a smile:
"We have to help them. For the sake of my family and my children, I must go!"
Then the man broke away from Aunt Liu's arm and ran towards the man in black with a kitchen knife. The man cursed:
"Damn it, you pissed me off."
The man in black turned his head, looked at Hu Cai, stopped entangled with the two men, and flew out of the window.
When the man saw the man in black, he flew out of the window with confusion on his face and thought to himself:
"I am not a martial arts practitioner. Why is his martial arts so good? Why did he run away when he saw me fighting?"
Aunt Liu looked at the man with a smile and said with a smile: "Aren't you an expert?"
The man scratched his head and replied: "Madam, you also know me, I don't know martial arts, I am also quite strange."
Everyone was puzzled and Zhu Shun said:
"He seems to be here after me. I don't have any enemies, right?"
Aunt Liu looked at Zhu Shun with a smile and said, "As long as it's okay."
Zhu Shun jogged to a counter and saw a very fine flying needle next to the broken wine bottle. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the peach blossom pattern on the flying needle. The person who made this needle must be a skilled craftsman. , can actually tattoo patterns on fine needles.
Zhu Shun picked up the flying needle, handed it to Li Xiaoqian, and asked:
"Miss Li, this flying needle?"
Li Xiaoqian took out the flying needle, looked at it carefully, and said:
"The flying needle pattern is very delicate."
Zhu Shun was puzzled:
"Who is behind the plot?"
Li Xiaoqian said:
"I don't know."
Then Zhu Shun walked slowly to the man and Aunt Liu and asked. :
"Uncle Hu, Aunt Liu, are you okay?"
The man patted Zhu Shun on the shoulder and said:
"fine."
Zhu Shun said:
"Let's help clean up."
The man smiled and said:
"Trouble."
In this messy tavern, everyone tidied up.
In a house surrounded by green bamboos and mulberry trees outside a courtyard, a young man in white walked across the threshold. The young man was slender and handsome. He held two jugs of wine and walked in slowly.
"Sorry, I'm late. Something happened on the way, which kept my brothers waiting for a long time." The young man in white said.
Xu Shanchao and Su Chengjie stood up and clasped their fists. Xu Shanchao said:
"Sorry, Brother Chen."
Chen Jingsheng sat down and opened the mud seal of a pot of wine. Just as he was about to pour wine for them, Xu Shanchao stopped him.
Xu Shanchao said:
"I'll pour it, don't bother Brother Chen."
Xu Shanchao then filled them all with wine.
Chen Jingsheng smiled and said:
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
Xu Shanchao replied:
"Thank you so much, Brother Chen, for your hospitality."
Chen Jingsheng said:
"You can leave in a few days."
Xu Shanchao asked:
"Is there a problem?"
Chen Jingsheng said:
"Tomorrow is Mrs. Chen's 80th birthday. I sincerely invite you to come."
Su Chengjie said:
"We are outsiders, isn't it appropriate?"
Chen Jingsheng said:
"Mrs. Chen likes to be lively. She will be very happy if there are many people."
Xu Shanchao said:
"Brother Chen, there is still another case against us! If we don't go back earlier to help solve the case, I don't know what the Yamen will think of us!"
Xu Shanchao said again:
"Now, Zhu Shun should still be looking for the two of us."
Chen Jingsheng looked at Xu Shanchao and said:
"I want you to stay for a few more days! Just a few more days!"
Su Chengjie said:
"We appreciate Brother Chen's kindness. We need to discuss it with Zhu Shun."
Chen Jingsheng smiled and said:
"Okay, okay."
Su Chengjie and Xu Shanchao stood up, Su Chengjie clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for the hospitality. Shanchao and I will say goodbye first."
Xu Shanchao said:
"We need to discuss this with Zhu Shun."
Chen Jingsheng stood up to say goodbye, and then Su Chengjie and Xu Shanchao crossed the threshold.
After Xu Shanchao and Su Chengjie left, a man slowly walked out of the room. The man held a knife in both hands. He was about thirty years old and was wearing gray clothes. This man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very tall. The man He slowly walked to the table, sat down, and poured himself a bowl of wine.
The man smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that there are things that Jing Sheng can't do."
Chen Jingsheng said:
"The girl from the Li family is here to cause trouble, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Chen Jingsheng said with a smile on his face:
"That kid with the Li family girl, I can probably figure out how much his martial arts is. He's just a little chicken. Isn't it easy to crush him to death? He's not a big threat to us, and these two don't need much. said."
"What to do with them?" The man put down his sword, picked up a bowl of wine, and asked.
Chen Jingsheng sneered:
"Jingfeng, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Jingfeng smiled and said:
"Don't worry when I do my work, I'll make sure it's clean and tidy."
Chen Jingsheng picked up the wine bowl, looked at the man holding the knife, and said: "Jingfeng, I leave this matter to you! But pay attention to the girl from the Li family. If it doesn't work, then kill her together."
Chen Jingfeng said:
"You really do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, but I won't hurt that little girl. I don't want to make my brother Jingxuan sad."
Chen Jingsheng said:
"It's up to you, but those foreigners must be dealt with. If not, they will have a certain impact on our goal."
Chen Jingfeng slowly walked out of the hospital with a knife in both hands.
Chen Jingfeng is the great-grandson of Mr. Chen and the grandson of Mr. Chen’s third son. His swordsmanship can be soft or strong. His swordsmanship can be as soft as a fallen flower or as fierce as a tiger.
Inside the house, Chen Jingsheng took out a flying needle with fine patterns engraved on it from his waist and shot it casually. The flying needle was like an arrow, instantly piercing a pot of wine not far away.
After a moment, the wine pot exploded, and the broken porcelain pieces scattered in all directions.
Chen Jingsheng smiled:
"I blame you for coming at the wrong time, but isn't it a good thing to sleep in the beautiful Peach Blossom Temple?" Chen Jingsheng laughed loudly.
...........
Outside the tavern, Zhu Shun helped clean up the tattered tables and chairs, and then left the tavern with Li Xiaoqian, walking all the way.
Zhu Shun asked:
"Miss Li, where are the two of them?"
Li Xiaoqian replied:
"They should be at Brother Chen's place now."
Zhu Shun asked doubtfully:
"Brother Chen?"
Li Xiaoqian smiled and said:
"Do you remember that girl with braids when we first met?"
Zhu Shun thought about it carefully and said with a smile:
"Hahaha! Remember! Remember!"
Li Xiaoqian said:
"Those two girls are both my sisters. The girl with braided braids is called Chen Menglan, and the little girl is named Liu Xinglin."
Li Xiaoqian said again:
"Chen Menglan's brother is Chen Jingsheng. They should still be there."
Zhu Shun cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Miss Li. Where does Brother Chen live? Can you tell me?"
Li Xiaoqian pointed to the east and said:
"Not far over there, Brother Chen's yard is surrounded by mulberry trees and bamboos. It's easy to find."
Zhu Shun turned his head to look in that direction, then turned to look at Li Xiaoqian and said:
"I'll go find them. We have to go back quickly! Thank you Miss Li for the hospitality!"
Li Xiaoqian said:
"Tomorrow is our 80th birthday, Mrs. Chen. You can leave later."
Zhu Shun said:
"Who is Mrs. Chen?"
Li Xiaoqian told Zhu Shun about Mrs. Chen’s past:
Mrs. Chen, her name is Chen Meiqing, she is an ordinary woman, but also a great woman. She has an uncle. Her parents starved to death when he was ten years old, and it was her uncle who raised them. But at that time, the people didn't have enough to eat, so her uncle had no choice but to sell her. Chen Meiqing was thirteen years old at the time, and because of her outstanding looks, she was spotted by a wealthy family, and she became a child bride.
In those days, child brides had no status at home. In wealthy families, they were served with water, food, feces, and urine. The whole family was the ones waiting on them, and they were beaten, scolded, and abused from time to time.
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran away in the middle of the night. When she was hungry and cold, she met Grandpa Chen, the young ranger at that time, and they fell in love from then on.
Mrs. Chen may be said to be a very blessed old lady.
She has many descendants, including three sons, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Chen's birthday will definitely be very lively. After all, Mr. Chen is very prestigious in the village.
Li Xiaoqian said again:
"It was Grandpa Chen who discovered this Peach Blossom Nunnery. I heard from the older generation that we were originally from the same village, and then we all moved here and lived in seclusion since then."
Zhu Shun listened carefully, nodded and said:
"I also hope that when I have the ability in the future, I can take my family and live in seclusion."
Li Xiaoqian smiled and said:
"If you really make a name for yourself in the future, you might as well bring your family here."
Zhu Shun smiled and replied:
"good idea."
Zhu Shun clasped his fists and said again:
"Miss Li, I will find them two first, and then we will discuss it."
Li Xiaoqian nodded, and then Zhu left by the way.
...........
In one place, above the river, the reflections of the peach trees on the bank were twisting and turning.
Zhu Shun walked slowly by the river and saw two people walking side by side not far away.
Zhu Shun was overjoyed and quickly waved his hands and shouted:
"Lao Xu, Lao Su, I'm looking for you!"
Lao Su turned around and said with a smile:
"Zhu Shun!"
Zhu Shun trotted quickly and ran in front of them, and then said breathlessly:
"I was just looking for you. I have something to discuss with you."
Su Chengjie said:
"Is it Mrs. Chen's birthday?"
Zhu Shun asked:
"Did you also invite you?"
Su Chengjie said:
"We were asked to leave a few days late, but you also know that we have to help handle the case. Do you want to postpone it?"
Zhu Shun said:
"I think we should go and we can leave tomorrow after the show is over. How about that?"
Su Chengjie said:
"Gotta hurry."
