Shi Hao said calmly: "I want to duel with him, and you are in my way!"
Cui Wuchang did not get angry but laughed, his laughter full of indignation: "Just like my apprentice?"
Shi Hao also smiled, and his smile was calm and calm: "Just like your disciple!"
Si Xuanzi and Luo Yin had sharp eyes and knew that Cui Wuchang was planning to kill him.
The ruthless Demon Knife is a long-established figure in the underworld. He is cruel and ruthless, and once he draws his knife, he will show no mercy.
However, the sword energies of Shi Tuxiong and Shi Chongyun simultaneously pinned him down.
Cui Wuchang is about 80 years old and has profound skills and excellent swordsmanship.
These two young men were only half his age, and when they joined hands, they suppressed Cui Wuchang so much that he dared not move.
When Si Xuanzi and Luo Yin were young, they definitely didn't have such abilities.
—A knife energy and two sword energies collided with each other invisibly, so much so that even masters like Si Xuanzi and Luo Yin held their breath.
Cui Wuchang laughed and said, "Good! Good! Good!"
His laughter was like thunder, and the whole restaurant was shaking.
The stalemated knife energy and sword energy were invisible and intangible, but their center of gravity seemed to be filled with rolling lava that was about to explode at any time.
Cui Wuchang's men were downstairs. When they heard the laughter, they rushed into the restaurant and killed everyone regardless of the consequences.
The ground began to shake and the sound of horses' hooves rolled. Soon, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from all directions.
"What do you want to do when you gather together?" A loud shout sounded like thunder. "Do you want to rebel?"
Then another voice followed: "Everyone get out of my way!"
The three parties downstairs were already in a delicate situation of confrontation, and suddenly more barbarians surrounded them. For a while, no one dared to move rashly.
"Miss! Sirs! What do you want?" The shopkeeper's flattering voice of nodding and bowing came from downstairs.
"Get out of the way!" one of them shouted.
"Yes! Yes!" The shopkeeper quickly moved aside.
After the sounds of bangs, three people came up the stairs. They were a young woman and two barbarian generals.
The young woman looked around with a slightly puzzled expression, and then fixed her eyes on Yueyaer's face: "Sister Yue, long time no see!"
Yueyaer giggled and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Sister Jinghui!"
This young woman is Zong Hai Ming Hui's younger sister Zong Hai Jing Hui. Zong Hai Ming Hui and Yue Ya Er are both in the ancestral temple, and they are competitors. Zong Hai Jing Hui is not a disciple of the ancestral temple, and has a very bad relationship with her sister Zong Hai Ming Hui, but she had a good relationship with Yue Ya Er in the past.
However, Zong Hai Jinghui suddenly came here at this time, and it seemed that she came to find herself.
This made Yueyaer feel uneasy.
Zong Hai Jinghui seemed relieved and walked towards Yueyaer: "Sister Yue, I finally found you. I was so worried..."
"Bang!" There was a sudden loud noise from the corner. It was Meishanhu, the leader of the Four Nanqi Thieves, who slammed the table and stood up. He grabbed the package on the ground and said angrily, "Since you want the treasure so badly, I'll give it to you. I'll give it all to you."
The package was thrown with a bang, and it landed between Zong Hai Jinghui and Yueyaer.
Zong Hai Jinghui and Yueyaer lowered their heads, staring blankly at the thing that rolled out of the package... What the hell
Something rolled out of the package. It was a large golden cup with nine flying dragons carved on the outside. All of them had their fangs bared and their claws dancing.
Xu Xiaoyan blurted out: "Nine Dragon Cup!"
Everyone was shocked... Nine Dragon Cup
The Nine Dragon Cup was the most precious treasure of the Sheng Dynasty, but after the fall of the Sheng Dynasty, no one could find it anymore
Meishanhu was filled with righteous indignation and shouted, "You have come here in such large numbers, aren't you here just to steal this Nine Dragon Cup? That's right, it contains the secret of the treasure left behind by the Emperor of the Sheng Dynasty before he fled. The treasure is in Mount Taihua, so go ahead and take it if you want, right?"
Among the Four Thieves of Nanqi, Tulongju, Hehuabao and Tielilu opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked at their leader.
Si Xuanzi and Luo Yin were both staring at the Nine Dragon Cup on the ground. Si Xuanzi was moved and thought to himself, "No wonder the Six Gates were dispatched to capture these four thieves. So the legendary heirloom of the Sheng Dynasty is real?"
Luo Yin also thought quickly: "There is such a secret hidden in the Nine Dragon Cup? Chongxian Sect did not hesitate to send out the eight martial immortals for this, is it for this?"
The two generals behind Zong Hai Jinghui, both masters in the army, were also staring at the Nine Dragon Cup with greed in their eyes.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper and the waiter quietly looked upstairs... Why did it suddenly become so quiet
Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by countless thunders exploding at the same time, accompanied by a few angry shouts: "This is the stolen goods recovered by the Six Gates, no one is allowed to touch it!" "That's wrong, whoever sees it gets a share!" "This is public property, it should belong to the court, stop it." "Give me your life, my disciple!"
The windows shattered, the walls broke, and all kinds of loud bangs and sounds, accompanied by the humming of knives, the whistling of swords, the screams of women, and the shattering of cups and bowls, were endless.
The warriors and soldiers outside rushed into the restaurant and started fighting. Two groups of people broke through the wall of the restaurant and some warriors tried to stop them.
Cui Wuchang attacked, followed by Shi Hao and Shi Tuxiong. The knife and sword energy intertwined, and the Nine Dragon Cup rolled between them. Si Xuanzi, Luo Yin, and the two barbarian generals were afraid that the Nine Dragon Cup would be snatched away by them, so they attacked at the same time.
Various kinds of energy exploded, and the restaurant began to collapse with crackling sounds. The shopkeeper and the waiter ran out crying for their lives, and no one cared about them. There were flashes of swords and shadows all around, and it was a chaos. The people on both sides could not tell which side was the enemy and which side was the friend.
Boom! Under the influence of various energies, the entire restaurant collapsed, and chaos spread to the town, mad and noisy—
Chapter 336: Big Events in Jianghu
Taoist Lan Ke, Du Yuejiao, Xu Xiaoyan and Yueyaer took advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege and escape from the town.
Turning back, Yueyaer shouted, "Why didn't that guy catch up?"
Taoist Lan Ke said, "He asked us to withdraw first so that he could leave!"
It was a chaotic scene just now, so Yueyaer didn't hear anything clearly.
Du Yuejiao and Xu Xiaoyan saw with their own eyes Shi Hao and the corpse Xiong fighting Cui Wuchang.
Although they were worried, it was not advisable to fight back at this time.
After a long while, Shi Hao flew over at an extremely fast speed: "Let's go!"
They ran away. Yueyaer was weak and soon couldn't keep up, so Shi Hao simply picked her up.
Yueyaer hooked her arms around his neck and snuggled in his arms.
Du Yuejiao had a stern face and tightly grasped the sword at his waist.
Yueyaer asked, "Is the treasure of the Sheng Dynasty really in Mount Taihua?"
Xu Xiaoyan said with a grin, "I think that guy is just a liar. The four of them were blocked by masters of the level of the King of Capture and the Martial Immortal. Four of them can't beat one, let alone two of them. These two also brought their men, and there are so many barbarian soldiers coming
"Meishanhu is just making things up. Didn't you see that the four of them started running away as soon as the fight started?"
Shi Hao laughed and said, "When that man shouted out the treasure, the other three didn't look at the Nine Dragon Cup. They all looked at him, looking very surprised. This 'treasure' was just a quick-witted trick that the man used to muddy the waters. But the King of Capture and Wu Xian were both staring at the Nine Dragon Cup and ignored their expressions."
In fact, Shi Hao himself was also threatened by Cui Wuchang's sword energy at that time, but his mysterious energy still sensed the reactions of the other three of the Four Thieves of Nanqi.
Lan Ke Taoist laughed and said, "Those guys are quite cunning."
Xu Xiaoyan asked, "What about the barbarian who challenged you to a duel?"
Shi Hao said: "He and I fought against Cui Wuchang together. Cui Wuchang was indeed very powerful, and he brought many subordinates with him. I had no choice but to set a big fire and took the opportunity to escape. When I looked back, the guy also fled to the other side."
Du Yuejiao said worriedly: "His swordsmanship is indeed amazing!"
Shi Hao said: "His three swords are indeed strange, they don't seem to be from the human world. I have seen many sword techniques, but I can't figure out the principles of his three swords. As far as I know, this person is related to the 'Sword Demon' Xue Qingfeng. If so, the origin of his three swords is probably not simple, and may even be related to the Demon Realm."
After a pause, he added: "But if it's just those three swords, I can still handle it."
Xu Xiaoyan said: "Didn't you say that you couldn't figure out his sword principles?"
Shi Hao said: "I don't need to understand his sword theory, I just need to counter him with equally powerful sword moves. And after three moves... I hope he has a more powerful killer move!"
They protected Yueyaer and crossed the Qinling Mountains all the way to Luojing.
During the prosperous dynasty, it was said that "Daxing values knights-errant, Luojing is rich and powerful". At that time, Daxing City was the capital, and Luojing was known as the "Eastern Capital".
Today's capital is Haodu, located in the north. Daxing City is also known as Xijing, and Luojing is known as "Zhongjing".
Luojing City experienced a series of wars at the end of the prosperous dynasty, and its prosperity is no longer what it used to be.
Despite this, the size of the city is still comparable to Daxing, and the prosperity of the city is only comparable to a few cities such as Guangling.
They sent Yueyaer to a villa of Yue Ketai's family in the city, and soon Yueyaer was under heavy protection.
Yueyaer took the banknotes and tried to keep them. Shi Hao himself didn't care, but Du Yuejiao pulled him away.
They did not leave Luojing immediately. After all, there were not many opportunities to come to such a big city.
I inquired about the situation in Luojing. Generally speaking, it is just like Haojing, under the firm control of the Man Court.
At the same time, because it is far away from Haojing, the overt and covert forces of the four major wealthy families are crisscrossed and infiltrated in the city.
Thanks to Prime Minister Fu Tu's unremitting efforts, at least in places like Luojing, the barbarian army's discipline is relatively strict, and the cases of unscrupulous oppression of the people are much less common here.
If you just live here, you might have the illusion that the world is stable and prosperous everywhere, without knowing that outside there are wars and smoke everywhere.
They first checked into an inn, and Xu Xiaoyan, as per her usual practice, went to find the local "lowest nine classes" to collect various intelligence in the underworld.
Shi Hao had nothing to do for the time being, so he followed her, and Du Yuejiao naturally followed as well, leaving only Lan Ke Taoist alone in the inn.
“Young people… young people nowadays!” Lan Ke Taoist sighed.
Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao followed Xu Xiaoyan and found a place called "Lower Nine Classes" in Luojing City.
From a small alley that ordinary people would hardly notice, I entered an abandoned garden and arrived at a tavern hidden underground.
Many martial artists gathered here, whispering and discussing.
"Big event!" As soon as Xu Xiaoyan saw this situation, she knew something big was going to happen. "There is no doubt that a big event has happened in the martial arts world."
"What's going on?" Xu Xiaoyan placed an ingot of silver on the counter as if she was familiar with the situation.
The old man behind the counter put it into his sleeve and lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "Did you know... the relic of the Sheng Dynasty appeared!"
Xu Xiaoyan was stunned: "A relic of the Sheng Dynasty?"
The old man nodded slowly, "That's right! Rumor has it that when the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty escaped from the capital for the last time, he knew he could not survive, so he ordered a loyal subordinate to take a large amount of treasure from the palace and hide it. So many years have passed, and the treasure has never been discovered. Until recently, it is finally about to show up."
Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao looked at each other.
Du Yuejiao asked: "Is this news true?"
The old man said in a serious tone, "Of course it is true. We have already found out the most reliable news. For the treasure, Luo Yin, the king of the Six Gates, Si Xuanzi, the martial immortal of the Chongxian Gate, Cui Wuchang, the important general of Ding Mocan, the 'heartless devil knife', Shi Chongyun, the 'hidden dragon' who helped Bashan Jiuzhai resist the Hanyang Gang, and Shi Tuxiong, the young swordsman who has recently gained fame, brought a large group of people to fight.
"Someone else confirmed that at that time, the daughters of the two families, Zonghai and Yueketai, from the four great families of the royal family, each brought a large group of soldiers to attack and seize the news of the treasure for themselves. Think about it, if it wasn't for the treasure, why would they cause such a big commotion?"
Xu Xiaoyan was speechless for a while, turned around and looked at the two people beside her... What the hell is going on
Next, they bought a Jianghu newspaper, which discussed the matter in great detail.
At the same time, many people coming and going around were all talking about things related to the treasure.
There were endless news of all kinds, and some people even described them vividly, talking about how "Lan Ke Dan Yuan", one of the Twelve Quan Zhen of Chongxian Sect, found clues to the treasure and rebelled against Chongxian Sect for this, and how the royal families got the news and became involved.
Then there is how "Hidden Dragon" Master Chongyun fought against the barbarian army and captured the daughter of Yue Ketai's family, how the King of Capture of Liushenmen and the Martial Immortal of Chongxianmen came, how Ding Mocan, one of the top ten masters on the black list, also got the news and sent out his capable general Cui Wuchang... and so on, as if you had seen it with your own eyes.
Even if someone doubted whether the news of the treasure was true or not, someone would immediately refute that if so many people fought in a small town, how could it be false? True! It must be true!
The final conclusion is that the treasure is in Taihua Mountain.
Why it is located in Taihua Mountain is actually easy to explain. Taihua Mountain is connected to Qinling Mountains in the south and faces the Yellow River in the north. It is relatively close to Luojing and is also known as the most dangerous place in the world. Without a doubt, it is the most suitable place to hide treasures.
—Groups of people discussed, and then groups of people sharpened their knives and hurried away.
The treasure of the Sheng Dynasty has appeared... Big event!
Big event!
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Xiaoyan muttered, "Is there anyone who believes this?"
Shi Hao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, there are the Wuxian of Chongxian Sect, the King of the Six Gates, Ding Mocan's men, the daughters of the Zonghai family and the Yueketai family... so many forces are rushing to participate, it must be true!"
Xu Xiaoyan glanced at him: "And you, the 'Hidden Dragon' Master Chongyun."
Shi Hao said proudly: "That's it!"
Du Yuejiao thought for a moment, "This news spread too fast, didn't it? We didn't get delayed along the way after leaving that town, but how come it spread so quickly after arriving here?"
Xu Xiaoyan laughed and said, "This is the martial arts world! Not to mention Luojing, maybe the news has spread to the south as well."
Du Yuejiao said: "Even a horse with a mileage of 800 miles can't be this fast."
Xu Xiaoyan said: "The news in the martial arts world is transmitted faster than the express delivery of 800 miles at the post station. Do you believe it?"
Shi Hao said: "Forget it, let's ignore them for now and just do our own thing!"
I also read some other contents of the Jianghu Gazette, but not much. Most of the space was occupied by the treasure. In comparison, other things seemed not worth mentioning.
