Chapter 28 Encounter with the "Flying Sword"

And Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng traveled together for two days. Perhaps because of Sun Yixie's presence, they never encountered anything like a sneak attack on a wine shop in the past two days.

So, two days later, they successfully entered Dengzhou City.

Since the "Seven Heroes Meeting" is about to be held, Dengzhou is also very lively today. It can be clearly seen that there are more people wearing swords on the streets; of course, it is not the same as the Young Heroes Meeting a year ago. In comparison, this battle is still much smaller.

Sun and Lin arrived relatively early, so they were still able to find a relatively good room in a better inn.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuancheng took advantage of Brother Sun a lot along the way - traveling with Sun Yixie, apart from other things, the food and accommodation would definitely be the same, and it was all paid for by Brother Sun. .

Although Lin Shaoxia was polite to Sun Yixie, the latter was not polite to him; moreover, the food and drinks Sun Yixie usually ordered, the rooms he requested... were all relatively expensive, Lin Yuancheng If he was forced to pay half, or to live and eat separately with Sun Yixie... Firstly, the expense would be too much for him, and secondly, it would be very embarrassing, so after talking about it once or twice, Lin Yuancheng stopped talking.

However, Lin Yuancheng said he was rude, but he kept all this in mind.

For a person with a character like Lin, he may forget what others owe him, but he will definitely remember what he owes others.

Sun Yixie can also see this, so he is very happy to let the other party "take advantage of him". After all... the most difficult thing in the world to repay is a debt of gratitude.

That evening, the two of them settled in the inn and went downstairs to the lobby to eat.

Sun Yixie chose a dining table located in the southwest corner. There was a screen to slightly block it. Although it did not completely block it, it was still a relatively good location.

After these few days of getting along, Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng have naturally become quite familiar with each other, and the two of them talk more and more. Therefore, after only two drinks, the two of them are already chatting. Very happy.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the store, followed by five big men who barged in. They were all dressed in strong suits and had swords at their sides. They also spoke extremely loudly, as if they were afraid that others would not know. They are running around in the world.

"Waiter! Hurry up, bring us all the good wine and food!" The leader of the five has a particularly loud voice and is also the burliest among the five.

His appearance matches his voice: a dark face, with a dark complexion that is yellow and shiny; a pair of thin eyes under the thick eyebrows, a wide nose and a wide mouth; when speaking, his mouth is wide. He was so wide open that even from a distance you could see his yellow teeth and red tongue, with spittle flying everywhere.

Lin Yuancheng has quite a lot of experience in martial arts. He recognized at a glance that this person was Zhai Hao, a swordsman known as the "Flying Sword" in the Huangshan area. The four people around him should be those who usually follow him. His little brother; they call themselves the "Five Righteousnesses of Huizhou", but everyone in the world knows that except for Zhai Hao, who is still a good guy, the other four are all inferior characters., basically just following Zhai Hao to flatter him.

"Brother, this is a nice place. You can sit here."

"Brother, the chair is dirty. Let me wipe it for you..."

No, before Zhai Hao sat down, his fourth and fifth brothers were already waiting on him.

The waiter in the shop is also very discerning. He knows that these noisy customers are the most difficult to serve - the more low-quality customers are, the more they like to have trouble with them and other shop assistants. So, while quietly urging the kitchen to bring out the dishes quickly, he put a jar of good wine and several large bowls on the table for them as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, this group of people immediately got high when they saw the yellow soup. They didn’t even need to eat or drink, they just drank two bowls per person, followed closely by the food in their mouths. Damn it...

Zhai Hao started bragging about his past achievements at that time, and he was just talking about things that his brothers already knew or had witnessed with their own eyes.

The general pattern is: "Lao San, do you still remember so-and-so?"

Lao San replied loudly: "Can you not remember that? They still dare to I challenge you, brother, but I can’t even get through ten moves under your hands.”

Then one of the second, fourth, or fifth brothers will shout in a higher voice: “I’m not a brother, today is the day.” , When it comes to swordsmanship, Song Wudi from Liaodong Shendao Villa should be number one, but when it comes to swordsmanship, there are probably not many who can compete with you.”

Conversations like this... are the favorite and most commonly used show-off mode for second- and third-rate characters.

Generally speaking, the more people eat in a place with fewer people, the louder their voices will be and the louder they will blow across; and if they walk into a store, they will see at a glance that there are one or more tables sitting inside. They were silent when they saw people wearing the uniforms of disciples of high-ranking sects... Even if they wanted to brag, they didn't dare to brag too much.

Today, they were obviously so excited because there weren’t many people sitting in the lobby of this inn, and there didn’t seem to be many people dressed up.

Sun Yixie listened to them for a while and couldn't help asking: "Brother Lin, who are those people? Is their eldest brother really so powerful?"

"Ha..." Lin Yuancheng laughed when he heard this, "They... claim to be the 'Five Righteousnesses of Huizhou', and their name seems to be quite famous, but in fact only their boss 'Feilai Jian' Zhai Hao is somewhat capable. The other four...are probably not even as good as the ordinary killers we met a few days ago."

"Oh?" Sun Yixie answered almost out of instinct." Who has better swordsmanship, Zhai Hao or you?"

"Hahaha..." Lin Yuancheng couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Sun, don't make fun of him? Aren't you insulting me by comparing yourself to me?"

"Oh~ I understand, I'm sorry." Sun Yixie also smiled, "I won't say it anymore, I'll punish myself."

Ladies and gentlemen, they didn’t speak loudly when they said these words., and at this time, the entire lobby was filled with the shouting sounds of Zhai Hao and his four brothers. If ordinary people were to listen, they would have to at least go behind the screen next to the seats of Sun Lin and others to hear them clearly. What.

Of course, these words fell on the ears of Liu Laoer, one of the Five Righteousnesses of Huizhou.

This Liu Laoer is not good at other martial arts, but his ear skills are pretty good; don’t look down on this kind of "reconnaissance" martial arts, maybe it is this kind of martial arts that can save lives at critical moments - when you hear something is wrong You can run away in advance.

Liu Laoer is the smarter among the five people. After hearing those few words, he didn’t rush to say it. He just got up and poured wine for his eldest brother, and then walked around himself. The table walked a few steps and glanced at the southwest corner of the lobby pretending to be casual.

When he saw clearly that there were only two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old sitting there, he leaned over to Zhai Hao's ear and reported what he had just heard.

"Huh?" When Zhai Hao heard this, his face changed instantly.

He slapped the table, stood up immediately, glared fiercely at where Sun and Lin were, and walked over.

The third, fourth, and fifth elders didn’t understand what was going on for a while, but Liu Laoer winked at them, and they seemed to understand, and they all followed Zhai aggressively. Hao gathered around together.

Hula——

When Zhai Hao walked there, he swept the screen to the ground with a wave of his hand, and then stood at the table of Sun and Lin, condescending. He shouted loudly at Lin Yuancheng: "Boy, do you think I can't hear you?"

Everyone knows what this fight means, whether it is the innkeeper or the guests eating around... .

As mentioned above, the people of Dashu are accustomed to this kind of vendetta, and they basically know what kind of excitement can be seen and what kind cannot be seen; this is undoubtedly the "can be seen" category. , so they didn’t run away, they just kept their distance and watched silently.

"Humph..." On the other hand, Lin Yuancheng sat there without moving, with a sneer on his face.

Lin Yuancheng is not as old-fashioned as Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. No matter how detached his mind is, he is still a real young man; to quote the famous line of a certain Liu named "Gua Nao" - Can young people still be called young people if they are not energetic?

"What are you laughing at?" The fourth among the Five Righteousnesses in Huizhou saw Lin Yuancheng's reaction and yelled with a glare, "What is our boss asking you? Do you think you can fool me by pretending to be stupid?" "In the past?"

"First of all..." At this time, Lin Yuancheng put down his chopsticks leisurely, turned to look at Zhai Hao and said, "You really didn't hear what I said, it's the guy next to you. My second brother heard what I told you." He paused, "Secondly, the reason why you didn't hear what I said is not that your ear skills are much worse than your second brother's, it's just because you were busy farting loudly at the time. ”

“You!” This wave of accusations and scoldings made Zhai Hao’s drunken face suddenly show.A moment of youth came over, "Good boy, you dare to talk to me like this..." He said, his hand already pressed on the sword at his waist, "If I, Feilai Sword, don't teach you a lesson today, how can I still be here in the future?" To gain a foothold in the world?"

"Oh?" Lin Yuancheng still sat without moving, not even raising his eyelids. "You want to fight with me?"

"Huh... "What?" Zhai Hao seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of the other party's question, "Are you afraid?" He said with a grin, "Is it too late to know that I am afraid now?"

"I'm not afraid." , I don’t think it’s worth it.” Lin Yuancheng shrugged, “It doesn’t matter whether there are people like you in the world, but if you really can’t gain a foothold in the world because of me today, and go home to farm from now on... then what will happen to me? I will also feel a little guilty. After all, you and I have no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent days..."

Chiying——

Before Lin Yuancheng finished speaking, Zhai Hao was already furious. , took action angrily.

Zhai Hao's sword is not slow. When he is in good condition, he can even string up seven or eight fallen leaves brought by the wind with one move.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent.

Lin Yuancheng is not a fallen leaf, at least he is also lightning.

Zhai Hao thought his sword was fast, and his brothers also thought his sword was fast, but that was only because they didn't know what real speed was.

When——

When the sound of the collision of swords sounded, this short duel was already over.

No one present could even see clearly what happened. When they came to their senses, Zhai Hao's sword was spinning in mid-air and falling, while Lin Yuancheng's sword was pressed against Zhai Hao's throat. at.

The next second, Sun Yixie suddenly stood up again. He raised his hand and just caught Zhai Hao's falling sword.

Lin Yuancheng, from the beginning to the end, including this moment, did not move even half an inch from his chair. He did not even look at Zhai Hao.

"Is my swordsmanship okay?" When Lin Yuancheng asked this question, he was holding a sword in one hand and drinking from a wine glass in the other.

"Yes... yes... the young hero is very powerful in martial arts, but he has little eyesight but cannot see the mountains... I hope the young hero will show his noble hand and bypass me this time." Zhai Hao is not a hard-nosed person. For him, dignity is nothing compared to life.

As for his four brothers, let alone... As soon as they saw Zhai Hao being restrained, the four of them immediately took several steps back, as if they were ready to leave their eldest brother and run away at any time. look.

So, when you say "recognize brothers", you have to be cautious. Mr. Shan Tianfang once said this - "Some people, as soon as the food and drinks are put on the table, they are all in trouble." Talk about laughing and shouting, I have beaten tigers in the south and trapped wolves in the north. He handed the business card to you and said, "If you have anything to do, come to me." Do you think he is capable? , if something really happened to him, he would either have a headache or a pain in the butt, or else he would run away because of "family troubles". It's useless to treat such a person as a brother., he was just talking big words under the influence of alcohol, and he was just talking big and long-tongued. ”

The five righteous people in Huizhou also flock together, and all five of their brothers happen to be this kind of people.

If you let them eat, drink and have fun together, yell at each other, and bully others, that’s not right. It’s difficult, but if something happens, no one can be trusted.

“Is it an insult to compare you to me? "Lin Yuancheng then asked.

"Forget it! Calculate! "The big beads of sweat on Zhai Hao's forehead were falling one by one. It felt really uncomfortable to have your life in someone else's hands.

"Hey~ Forget it, Brother Lin, it's okay. Just be merciful and merciful. "At this moment, Sun Yixie, who had been watching silently for a long time, felt that Lin Yuancheng was almost out of temper and it was his turn to smooth things over, so he spoke to persuade.

"Huh..." Lin Yuancheng snorted again. After a few seconds, he said, "Today, for the sake of Brother Sun, I will let you go. When you speak and do things in the world from now on... remember to keep your eyes open. "

"I understand...I understand..." How dare Zhai Hao answer anything else.

After he finished speaking, Lin Yuancheng put down his sword, and Zhai Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. .

Sun Yixie walked over with a smile, patted Zhai Hao's shoulder gently, and handed the opponent's sword back to him: "This eldest brother, this is Brother Lin. Qi Sheng, I didn’t mean to get in trouble with you...Don’t hold grudges if you offend me..."

"I don’t dare! "Zhai Hao quickly sheathed the sword, but then, he seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice, "Uh... By the way, I haven't asked the two young heroes yet..."

The name of a person is the shadow of a tree. The leader of the Young Heroes Association alone is enough to intimidate people. Add "Eastern Harmony"... After hearing this, Zhai Hao almost gave up his legs. Sitting on the ground.

To make a long story short, that night, the Huizhou Wuyi not only left the inn in despair, they didn’t even watch the excitement of the Qixiong Club and left Dengzhou directly to go back to Huangshan.

The five of them also understood that the news about Zhai Hao being humiliated by Lin Yuancheng would spread in less than a day. By then, they would not be able to see anyone in Dengzhou City. ? Might as well go back to his hometown to avoid the limelight and wait until this time is over before coming out.

However, this Zhai Hao is not an easy man. The trouble he made today will happen again later. Lin Yuancheng became his motive for revenge, but of course that is another story.

Back to the story...

As expected, this little incident that evening happened. The friction soon spread in the Dengzhou area.

Originally, the common people loved to gossip, and the Huizhou Wuyi had been showing off around the area in the past few days, which made Zhai Hao very angry. His swordsmanship was so exaggerated that many people believed him, so after this battle, Lin Yuancheng, who defeated Zhai Hao in one move, was even more amazing.

This... attracted one person's attention.

Terajima Kohei has heard some rumors about Lin Yuancheng in the past, but he has never taken him seriously, because in his opinion, a swordsman who is less than twenty years old cannot He may be so powerful, even if he has the title of "Leader of the Young Heroes Association", it only proves that he is the strongest among his peers; there are many young heroes who have won this title in the past but ended up being lost to everyone. Qin Feng, who appeared earlier, is a good example.

However, this time, Terashima Yasuhei happened to be in Dengzhou, and if the "Flying Sword" Zhai Hao hadn't left, he would probably be the next opponent Kang Haijiao wanted to find for him.

So, Terashima, who heard the rumors, also became interested in Lin Yuancheng. He approached Kang Haijiao and asked Lin Yuancheng to sacrifice the sword to him. Kang Haijiao thought... Anyway, it's you on Temple Island who will fight with others, and if you die, it won't be me who will die, so he agreed.

In this way, the next night, Kang Haijiao came to the inn where Sun Yixie and Lin Yuancheng were staying...
