A few people were not far from the lobby of the building. They were raising a fire to cook a pot on the snowy and icy deck. Meng Qi slightly turned his head and saw the scene inside through the half-open door. He also understood what the sailor said was wrong. .
o d
In the hall, because the weather suddenly turned extremely cold, many ship passengers chose to stay in the guest rooms, wrapped in warm quilts, waiting for the ship's servants to deliver meals, wine, braziers, and thick quilts. Not much, only about five or six tables occupied.
At the table was an imposing young man with a childish look on his face, and every move he made was in line with etiquette. He had a jade hairpin in his hair and a green pendant hanging from his waist. He had no other ornaments. Beside him sat a servant dressed The old man looks very old and has deep wrinkles, but when his eyes open and close, his radiance is revealed.
At one table was a single woman, dressed in plain clothes and white robes, as elegant as a fairy. On the table was a long sword with a white scabbard. Her expression was uneasy, and she kept looking at the two tables nearby.
Next to her, there was a man at the table with a ferocious expression. He had normal facial features, his hands were as big as cattail fans, and his joints were protruding. He showed extraordinary palm skills. At the other table was a couple. The man was pale and coughing frequently. It seemed that She is a sickly girl with a beautiful face, plump and lustrous skin.
The reason why the sailor felt something was wrong was because of the expression of the single woman and the ferocious look of the man with big hands.
There were two tables left. One table was occupied by a drunkard. He didn't touch the food very much. He drank several bottles of wine. His face was red and he was drunk. The table next to the door was occupied by two young men dressed as princes. One was wearing a sword and his hair was standing straight. Crowned, with a long and narrow face, one carries a long knife. Whether he is smiling or sighing, the expression on his face is always very light and small.
If something goes wrong, report it to the shipowner and ask him to send guards. The head sailor also noticed the problem and ordered the sailor who spoke.
The sailor understands that when heroes from all over the world fight, he and others can only attack in a swarm, rely on the strength of their numbers, and chop into pieces with knives. Otherwise, it would be of no use at all, so he got up in a hurry and walked to the back boat to look for the owner.
Meng Qi picked up a piece of pig intestine, wrapped it in dipping sauce, and paid attention to the movement in the hall. If he can, he is still willing to take action.
He approached the door. His ears were working, and he was the first to hear the conversation between the two young masters.
Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for three years, but you have already opened your six apertures. You are considered a good master of the younger generation. It is gratifying and worthy of a glass of sword. The young master smiled and raised his glass.
Brother Tang drank a glass of wine with him with some complacency, and sighed: Brother Wan Xian, Brother Yu has a word of advice for you. Traveling thousands of miles and experiencing all kinds of things is better than ten years of hard training in your hometown. Three years ago, I was defeated miserably by Ye San. I had no face to see anyone, so I had to use the excuse of traveling around to practice. Go far away.
After this trip, I realized that the sky is vast and there are so many talented people in the world. I suffered a lot and suffered a lot, but I also gained a lot. Three years later, my four apertures have been opened, and my sword skills have improved greatly. Compared with the past, I have completely changed. Now that I am back home, I would like to weigh the progress made by Ye San and others.
He said it confidently.
Mr. Wan laughed and said: Ye San and the others were still wandering around the city, and they had four orifices back then. Now that my nose has just opened, Brother Tang, you are returning to your hometown. It is because you are traveling in brocade clothes at night. I really want to see their faces.
Meng Qi from Yicheng took a breath, isn't this the small town where Senior Brother Qi is in charge
The city of Huanzhou is the capital of Yedu of Zhou County, and the city is a small town near Yedu. 10% of the land belongs to the Huanhua Sword Sect, so after Qi Zhengyan applied for a property outside the Lishan Guarding Sect, he was sent here to assist a certain uncle in managing Zhuangzi's fields. Since there are many properties that need to be managed, such as tenant farmers and ancillary shops, he and his uncle are basically in charge of their own business. They are free and unconstrained, which makes Meng Qi want to make a living for a year and a half and enjoy the hot food. , until the appearance has completely grown and matured, the hair has become longer, and then he can go out and wander the world.
He looked closely and found that Brother Tang was twenty-five or six years old, and he immediately thought in his heart: The Ye San he was talking about should be about the same age as him, and he had no experience of going out. He was still staying in Yicheng. At this age, he had six orifices. I'm afraid he's a son of aristocratic family
The city is not big. Although it is backed by Yedu and has a lot of goods coming and going, it is a prosperous place, but it can not accommodate more than five aristocratic families.
Meng Qi nodded slightly, intending to find an opportunity to talk with Tang brother Wan Gongzi to develop contacts. It would be more convenient to live in Yicheng in the future, and he would have more friends and more ways to meet.
Brother Tang poured himself a glass of wine and shook it in his hand: The shame of the past must be punished now. After this happens, I will travel far away again, hoping that one day all nine orifices will be opened, or I can step into the half-step of an outdoor scene. Brother Wan Xian, are you coming together
Mr. Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head: You and I are of the same age. I still only rely on pills to open my eyes. I have long since given up on martial arts, and now I focus on family business.
Either way, if you wander around in the world, you might end up with your body somewhere else, lying on the roadside, no one knows. The wild dog devouring Brother Tang seemed to have brought back some memories, his voice seemed a bit low, and his expression Slightly afraid.
Meng Qi could be considered an old man in the world. He observed people's words and felt that in addition to returning home rich and honorable, and traveling around in fine clothes at night, the man named Tang might also have reasons to avoid disaster.
While the two were talking, the weird atmosphere in the center of the hall finally broke out.
Bang, the vicious man slapped his own wine table down, stood up, walked towards the woman in plain skirt, gritted his teeth and said: "You little bitch, you dare to ruin our important event, you are really tired of living."
He seemed to have finally abandoned his worries, stopped caring about others, and went straight to action.
At the same time, the coughing sick man and his charming wife also stood up and approached from the other direction to block the escape route.
The woman in a plain skirt was twenty-three or four years old, with distant mountain eyebrows and a hanging bile nose. She was as elegant as a fairy. She was considered a rare beauty. She frowned, her face was determined, she drew her long sword, put on a defensive posture and said: "The Mie Tian Clan is notorious. I won't ruin your business, and there are knights who will take action.
Mie Tianmen, Meng Qi from the Mie Tianmen in the Nine Paths of Demons raised his eyebrows slightly.
The Nine Paths of Evil were suppressed by decent families and were not well-known in the ears of ordinary people. Therefore, several sailors next to them looked at each other in confusion: Mie Tianmen
Meng Qi casually explained: The Mie Tian Clan is one of the Nine Paths of Evil. Its purpose is to destroy the heaven and the earth and exterminate the human world. It was once very powerful and plotted many shocking conspiracies. When the master disappeared during the battle, they were hit hard and turned secretive. The only masters known in the world were eight heavenly demons and nineteen human demons.
Ooh, the sailors suddenly realized that the bad guys have such terrible power. Such a prominent status.
The ferocious man did not attack, but pressed forward step by step. After hearing Meng Qi's words, he paused and looked at the Suqun woman with a sneer: Shan Xiumei, you are in doom today, why don't you just capture her and make me happy.
This is using dirty words to anger the other person. Make the other party anxious, thereby increasing the chance of winning.
Shan Xiumei Chixia Sword Shan Xiumei Meng Qi murmured to himself. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, intending to help.
The sailors around Shan Xiumei said they had never heard of it again.
Meng Qi dutifully explained to passers-by: A famous female swordsman from all over the mountains and rivers, she comes from the Zhoushan Sword Sect, a master of the Six Apertures, and has outstanding swordsmanship. No wonder the three people of Mie Tianmen are hesitant.
He heard this name while chatting with Wu Qinxin and Shangguan Han. He commented that he had outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, which matched the person in front of him.
So after knowing Shan Xiumei’s identity. The sailors seemed to be a little sympathetic and looked towards the back boat, where other shipowners' guards came to help.
After saying that, Meng Qi let go of the hand holding the sword because he found that after hearing the name Shan Xiumei, the handsome young master also held down the hilt of the sword, as if he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty.
If I want to save you, then I can save you without taking action. Meng Qi naturally didn't want to take action and quickly transformed into a spectator.
Shan Xiumei said calmly: Iron-handed demons, joyful demons, kill them if you want, what are you talking about
The iron-handed man-demon is happy, the man-demon and the sailors looked at Meng Qi in confusion again.
Meng Qi shifted his gaze and looked at the sick young man and the charming young woman: All the nineteen human demons of the Mie Tian Clan are masters in the enlightenment period. At worst, there are seven orifices opened, each with its own specialty. The Iron Hand Demon is one of them, and so is the Happy Demon. I don’t know who among them is.
The charming young woman giggled and said: Sister Shan, I didn’t expect you to recognize the identity of the Nu family, and the Nu family plans to give you a surprise.
She looked relaxed and relaxed. She put her delicate hands on the shoulders of the sick husband and walked forward slowly, accompanied by the sound of coughing.
The worst thing is that a single girl with seven orifices only has six. She, she is not very dangerous, the sailors simply compared.
Meng Qi nodded lightly: each of the nineteen human demons has his or her own uniqueness, which is comparable to that of a master of extraordinary enlightenment. With two human demons here, even if Shan girl has outstanding swordsmanship, she may not be able to escape this disaster.
He explained dutifully and judged from his actions that the iron-handed demon had seven orifices and the happy demon had eight orifices.
When Shan Xiumei heard what Meng Qi said, she took a deep breath and her expression became more determined: Take action, either you will die or I will die.
Such a fierce girl, I really want to take her in and train her properly. The happy demon took action, reached out with his right palm, and grabbed Shan Xiumei's long sword, bending his body into a seductive arc.
The iron-handed man-demon slapped his face in such a fierce and domineering manner that Shan Xiu Mei almost felt like a hot wind was blowing against her face.
Shan Xiumei stretched out her long sword. The sword looked like a leaping fish, both agile and resolute.
Miss Shan mastered the Thirteen Swords of Fish Leaping Dragon Gate well, but the Happy Man Demon and the Iron Hand Man Demon were stronger. Meng Qi said to the sailors.
Stop suddenly, someone shouted loudly, it was the noble young master.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist and said in a deep voice: "Evil heretics, everyone can find them and kill them. Miss Shan, let me help you."
The sailors were surprised and said: Someone drew a sword to help, but I don’t know how strong it is.
Meng Qi smiled, even if the young master is not good, he still has an old servant, so he deliberately provoked: From the looks of this young master, he also has six orifices, I am afraid he is no match for the Huanxi man and demon.
Normally, if any onlookers said this, Meng Qi, the person involved would get excited and wait and see with amusement.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young master's aura surged, his righteousness was so awe-inspiring that no one could look at him, and he drove back the demon of Huanxi with one sword strike.
With awe-inspiring aura, since Meng Qi, the Zhoujun Wang family, plans to join Huan, he must ask Zhang Yuanshan about Huanzhou affairs. As one of the fourteenth aristocratic families, Zhoujun Wang family is the first to bear the brunt.
Their method of suppressing the clan is the aura of awe.
Feeling that he had shocked the crowd of onlookers, the Prince of Zhou County Wang quickly launched his sword skills with majestic and upright force, causing Huanxi Renmo and her husband to retreat repeatedly.
Shan Xiumei also showed off her sword skills and fought fiercely with the iron-handed demons.
After knowing that the people facing them were members of Zhoujun Wang's family, the Huanxi Demon and the Iron Hand Demon had already begun to retreat, not because they were afraid of the young master, but because they were worried about the old servant beside them who had not yet taken action.
At this moment, the drunkard on the other table suddenly got angry, holding bamboo chopsticks in his hand, rushed to Brother Tang and Young Master Wan, and stabbed them hard.
His timing was perfect and unexpected, and it was not until this moment that his murderous intent was revealed, and even Meng Qi, who was nearby, could not save him.
Two bamboo chopsticks were inserted into Mr. Wan's neck, and the other was pointed directly at Mr. Tang's throat.
The young master surnamed Tang seemed to have been on alert. Even though he was attracted by the fight between Shan Xiumei and others, he still paid attention to his surroundings. In an emergency, he crashed back, smashed through the wooden wall, and flew backwards into the river.
With a splash, where he fell into the water, a burst of blood appeared. It seemed that it was a little late after all, and his throat was pierced by the wooden chopsticks.
The assassinated drunkard kept walking, followed the big hole made by Mr. Tang, jumped into the water, and escaped through the river.
Meng Qi was unable to make a move and frowned slightly. This killer was very good and looked professional in all aspects. He might be a member of the famous killer organization, the Inhumane Tower in the Nine Paths of Evil.
Of course, there are also two or three major forces who work as part-time killers, such as the Immanent Life and Death Sect in the Nine Paths of Evil, and the Tieyi Tower among the Six Giants.
On the other side, Huanxi Renmo, who wanted to give up, found an opportunity to force back the prince's son from Zhoujun. He also broke through the wooden wall with his husband and jumped into the river.
The old servant never moved. It seemed that the young master would only take action when his life was in danger.
The iron-handed man-demon had already repulsed Shan Xiumei, jumped out of the gate, climbed onto the deck, and was about to jump into the river to escape.
When he passed by Meng Qi, he frowned. Just now, it was this boy who was so verbose and noisy, which made people upset.
So he took advantage of the situation and kicked Meng Qi. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
