The dilapidated house, the bright moonlight, and the gloomy and cold alley.
There was a Wu Dao grandmaster holding a sword, a sad skinny boy, a young girl holding a whip, a sick man gasping for breath, and a beautiful woman carrying a purple box on her back.
In the eyes of the sneaky night walkers lying on the roofs, the scene in front of them made them feel less bored after coming here in the middle of the night. The night walkers were divided into several groups, each with their own benefactor. Among them, the ones with the largest numbers and the aura of a battlefield were the elite soldiers from Liu Huaixi's mansion. They also rightfully occupied the two adjacent roofs with the widest view. The weapons hanging from their waists were all sabers, but there were a variety of them. There were Miaodao with a slender blade that looked like a seedling, and there were also sabers that came from the Southern Dynasties of Beimang to the Western Regions. There was even an old cold saber carried by a man in black who looked like a leader. Only those who were familiar with the Beiliang Frontier Army could tell that it was a cavalry saber with a more prominent curve than a walking saber. As Beiliang became stricter with the control of the sabers and crossbows, the value of these cold sabers spread among the people in the early years also rose. They could easily be sold for a sky-high price of 700 to 800 taels of silver. On Liyang Lake, if there was a cold saber hanging from one's waist, as long as it was not the kind of person who could see through it at a glance, people would involuntarily be afraid of it.
A guy approached the man in black who carried the cold saber and whispered, "Leader Qi, the woman below with the purple box on her back is really beautiful. She's even more beautiful than the Purple Bamboo Fairy who came to our mansion as a guest. Why don't we just take action? The whole Snow Lotus City is ours. As long as we enter the city, our lives will be in our hands. Leader Qi, didn't the general say that you need a wife? I think this woman is very good. We just discussed that we'll send the Snow Lotus to the general's mansion, and tie this woman directly to your mansion. Today, we'll hold a wedding banquet for you and make a scene in the bridal chamber. Then, we won't waste our night in the cold! "
The man in black who had been instigated by his subordinates to become a mountain king subconsciously stroked his scabbard. His rationality overcame his desire. He shook his head and said, "Don't ruin my foster father's great plans."
He was the direct subordinate of Liu Huaixi, the Earth Emperor of Snow Lotus City. He had once followed Liu Huaixi in and out of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, which was why he was bestowed with this cold saber that Liu Huaixi loved so much. His purpose on this trip was to keep an eye on that Central Plains man who wielded a sword. Liu Huaixi was determined to obtain that Snow Lotus because he had publicly announced that he would offer it to a woman with the same name in Western Shu. It was said that she was an extremely beautiful woman, but it was a pity that she was an existence that even Liu Huaixi could not afford to offend. The Snow Lotus obtained by the Lotus Picker in his residence had another secret use. Because he was one of Liu Huaixi's followers who had followed Liu Huaixi since his youth, he was qualified to come into contact with some of the inside stories. It was said that there were ten new sects in Liyang, and the Dragon Palace of Nanjiang was one of them. The new Palace Master, Lin Hongyuan, was not only the leader of the Jianghu in Nanjiang, but also had a close relationship with His Royal Highness, Zhao Zhu, the King of Yan. He did not know what his foster father was plotting, but it was definitely not limited to Snow Lotus City. His foster father had secretly revealed his yearning for the Central Plains more than once.
"Boss Qi, look. That guy seems to be reckless and wants to interfere. What should we do?"
The Dragon Moth adopted by Liu Huaixi frowned and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Wait."
The tuberculosis ghost who had come out of nowhere to mess things up called the young boy and girl to the side and muttered to them like a lousy accountant. Sure enough, the young boy's face was full of suspicion, while the young girl with an extraordinary background was not tempted at all. It was one thing for the young boy and girl to have a wide vision, but in the face of a great change, they were still a little wary. Who would believe that a stranger who appeared out of nowhere, who could easily push them down with a single finger, would paint a big picture for them out of thin air? When the Dragon Moth on the roof stole a glance at the stunning woman, especially when he saw her looking at the scholarly young man, he, who had always thought himself to be hard-hearted, suddenly felt his blood boil. Then, he elegantly jumped down. More than a dozen brothers who had depended on each other for many years also did not want to be left behind, and they all landed on the ground one after another. Apart from the three archers who stayed on the roof in tacit understanding, the rest of them were all ready to help the Dragon Moth on the roof. Everyone had a frivolous smile on their faces, and they almost called the woman sister-in-law. Hsu Fengnian was talking until his mouth was dry. He told the young boy that as long as he had Snow Lotus, he could guarantee that the young girl would not get married. In fact, the young boy was somewhat tempted. However, the young girl who came from a wealthy family outside of Snow Lotus City mercilessly exposed his "lie". Hsu Fengnian said that he could protect them and safely leave Snow Lotus City. She said that he had to fight with the swordsman from the Central Plains on the steps first, and then they could talk about other things after he won. Hsu Fengnian said that he could. She then said that there were many experts around General Liu in the city. Her father's Ma Family Fort also had a hundred cavalrymen and two hundred archers. Not only did he have to defeat the swordsman, he also had to go to the General's Mansion and fight with the Ma Family Fort. Hsu Fengnian was originally afraid that the two children would misunderstand his lack of sincerity if he agreed too quickly, so he casually asked how powerful Liu Huaixi was. As a result, the young girl rolled her eyes at him and said that he was actually a Jianghu swindler who wanted to do business without any capital. He just wanted to cheat the Snow Lotus and then quickly run away. Hsu Fengnian's physical strength was exhausted, so he squatted down. When he raised his head and was about to speak, the young girl looked down on him even more. She "considerately" told Hsu Fengnian to just lie down and talk. This way, his legs wouldn't hurt and his waist wouldn't hurt. Hsu Fengnian laughed and said that the real experts in Jianghu didn't fly around and pretend to be masters. They all liked to pretend to be weak and subservient like him. The young girl's mouth was unforgiving. She said that Hsu Fengnian wasn't pretending to be subservient and was a real subservient. The young boy who had been watching from the side wanted to laugh, but he held back his laughter. He secretly made a face at Hsu Fengnian, taking pleasure in his misfortune. Hsu Fengnian laughed and scolded the young boy, "She hasn't married into the family yet, but she's already in charge of both internal and external affairs. Aren't you afraid that your husband's authority will be lowered in the future?" The young boy, who was simple and honest but wasn't really stupid, chuckled. The young girl flew into a rage. She gripped her horsewhip tightly and pointed it at the guy who was speaking more and more nonsense. Her face was frosty, and she wanted him to get lost. In the end, Xu Fengnian's next words made her completely calm down. "What's wrong? Now that Hong Shuzhi is in danger, your conscience is uneasy, and you want me and that beautiful big sister, two outsiders, to stay out of this matter, even if it doesn't work out? Girl, aren't you a little too soft-hearted … "
Liu Huaixi's lackeys were about to fight when the person with the cold blade at his waist raised his hand to stop them. He said softly, "Something's not right."
Then, a wild laughter came from inside the house. "You bunch of idiots who don't know Buddha when you meet a real Buddha. What the hell are you shouting about?"
Like a wild horse, a figure broke through the paper-like walls of the mud house and floated out. First, it jumped over the head of the swordsman who didn't move at all. Then, it passed between Hsu Fengnian and Jiang Ni. Finally, it crashed into the ranks of Liu Huaixi's elite soldiers. The Liu family's Bodhisattva, who had been fighting for a long time, shouted angrily. He pulled out his blade and held it with both hands. Using his body to push the blade forward, he rushed forward quickly. His steps were not in a straight line, but were unusually complicated and agile. It was a mixture of the Western Shu Xingyi and the Southern Tang Tongbi style. His movements were very clean.
The figure that rushed out of the house flashed and brushed past the Bodhisattva in the blink of an eye. Not only did he kick the Bodhisattva's chest, he also took the blade with his bare hands. The Bodhisattva's momentum did not decrease. He rushed straight to the mottled wall of the alley, stabbed the blade into the wall, and flipped over. When the young man who was respectfully called Head Qi stopped staggering and turned his head to look, he saw an old man whose two calves seemed to have been cut off by a sharp weapon. The old man was sitting on his beloved blade. He looked around complacently and said loudly, "Yo, young man, you have some weight. Unfortunately, you have encountered This Old Man. Even if I give you 20 years of hard work, it still won't be enough!"
The domineering old man glanced at the middle-aged swordsman who did not stop him from leaving the house and said indignantly, "This Old Man has returned to Jianghu this time and waited in this shabby little town for so many days. Other than that blockhead on the stairs who only has a killing sword but not a heart, no one actually took the initiative to burn incense and worship the gods? Do you really want This Old Man to start a massacre so that you ignorant frogs at the bottom of the well will understand that there is a Land Immortal in your Snow Lotus City? "
The Head Qi of Snow Lotus City turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were malicious and cold. He shook his wrist and asked with a smile, "Old Immortal, do you really want to be the enemy of the General's Residence?"
The old man laughed and said, "What bullshit General's Residence? A bunch of blind people. If you really annoy This Old Man, he will kill you all in an instant!"
At this time, Hsu Fengnian smiled at Jiang Ni who had quietly walked a few steps closer to him and said, "Learn from him. Look at how the old senior walks the Jianghu. Let me tell you, in our line of work, if you don't know how to smile evilly, then you are definitely a fledgling of the Jianghu. Similarly, the evil experts in the Jianghu, this kind of laughter is only a beginner's skill. As for the righteous experts, they must have the demeanor of an immortal. After one move, they must stand with their hands behind their back. At night, especially on a moonlit night, it is the best scene. Think about it, if you put on the posture of looking up at the moon, you will have the demeanor of a great master and won't hurt your eyes. But there's a way, and that's to narrow your eyes and remain silent. Don't speak at all. You can't speak big words. Once you do, it'll lower your status. If you don't say anything, it'll make the bystanders, like us, feel that you're unfathomable. "
Jiang Ni said unhappily, "You are so boring!"
Hsu Fengnian glared at him and said, "This is the priceless advice that I personally came up with after wandering the Jianghu. If others want to listen to it, I will not sell it to them!"
The Ma Jia Bao's daughter who was eavesdropping on Hsu Fengnian's' teaching 'quickly exposed him, "You are indeed an experienced Jianghu swindler!"
