"Hey, you old man, I told you that the Han family's Bixie Swordplay is unknown. How do you know about it?" One of them raised his doubts.
There was no reason for a storyteller to know more about the martial arts world and Jianghu than they did.
He had never heard of the Bixie Sword Technique or the world's fastest sword technique. He had only listened to it when he had nothing to do and it was fine for him to have some fun. However, if it had anything to do with the real martial arts world, then it would be nonsense.
Just as he raised his doubts, someone slapped him on the head. A tall man scolded, "Listen to the story. You talk too much!"
"Yes, old man, hurry up and continue. There have been such rumors in Jianghu these days. I heard that the Han family's Bixie Swordplay is invincible. I thought it was just a baseless rumor. I didn't expect …" Another person exclaimed. Everyone looked over.
"Really?"
"There's such a thing?"
"This brother is right. I heard someone mention it the day before yesterday."
…
…
The few people who were listening to this story as a way to relieve their boredom were instantly shocked. Although there were many rumors in the Jianghu, if there was no basis, the rumors would collapse on their own and not spread widely.
Could it be that the Han family's Bixie Swordplay was real?
They heard that the Han family's disciples all used swords …
The Han family's leader, Han Dazhong, was also known as the 'Fast Sword' in Jianghu …
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible. This time, no one rushed the old man. The few people of Jianghu gathered together and exchanged what they knew.
"The best swordplay in the world? Isn't that too exaggerated? If the Han family really had such a supreme martial art, wouldn't they have dominated Jianghu a long time ago?"
"I heard that to learn this Bixie Swordplay, there is a prerequisite …" A voice paused and said, "To learn this skill, one must first castrate himself. Rumor has it that in the entire Han family, only the current leader has mastered the Bixie Swordplay."
"Castrate himself?" Someone said in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that the famous Senior Han is a eunuch?"
One of them immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible! Impossible! I heard that Senior Han had five wives and concubines. How could he be a eunuch?"
When everyone nodded in agreement, someone seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed, "Although the Han Family's Patriarch has many wives and concubines, he doesn't seem to have any children until now!"
This voice was like a bolt out of the blue, dispelling the fog in everyone's hearts.
He had married five wives and concubines, but he didn't have a single child in the past few decades. This was very telling.
Either there was something wrong with this Senior Han, or … he didn't have that thing at all?
If they hadn't heard of these rumors, they naturally wouldn't have suspected the second possibility. However, at this moment, everyone thought of the same thing.
If there was no such thing, why did he marry so many wives and concubines?
Unless … he wanted to cover it up!
What exactly was the Han family trying to hide? How did Senior Han get his nickname of Swift Sword? Why had the Four Seas Escort Agency developed so quickly in the past twenty years and was about to become one of the most powerful families in the martial arts world?
No one answered this question, but everyone was well aware of the answer.
"No, it's not that he didn't have any children." Someone thought of something and shook his head. "His only son committed a serious crime a year ago and was beheaded by the authorities.
Do you still remember that Senior Han gathered heroes from all over the world to kill that woman a few days ago? I heard that Senior Han's only son was caught by that woman and brought to the authorities. "
"I remember now. After Han Dazhong married and had children, his martial arts suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. He killed several powerful enemies and made a name for himself in the martial arts world. Could it be that he really …"
After putting all the information together and organizing it a little, they finally dug out a deeply buried "mystery".
The Han family's 72 Styles of Bixie Swordplay was unparalleled in the world, but the conditions to cultivate it were too harsh. In order to continue the Han family's lineage, the man surnamed Han castrated himself after marrying and having children. He married so many wives and concubines to cover up the fact that he castrated himself. Otherwise, why didn't his wives and concubines give birth to any children in the past twenty years when he was in the prime of his life?
Bixie Swordplay, the fastest sword in the world …
Not long after, a few people walked out of the brothel and disappeared into the crowd in different directions.
People came and went in the brothel. The old man told the story of the Bixie Swordsmanship over and over again. It was a rare and good story. Those martial arts heroes were too generous. The earthen jar in front of him could be filled half in a day. He was afraid that in half a month, he could earn the money that he used to earn in a whole year.
Old Sun was a good man. He didn't make friends with him in vain. He gave him the money-making story just like that. He couldn't take all of the money. He had to at least give half of it to Old Sun. Otherwise, he would be breaking the rules and would be despised by his peers.
The circle of actors and actresses wasn't big. They traveled everywhere to make a living, so they naturally made friends.
At this time, in the various brothels outside and inside the city, there were several storytellers like this old man. They all had the same idea as him.
…
…
Anhe County, the Han family.
Bang!
The head of the Han family, Han Dazhong, had just finished listening to his disciple's report. He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table. His vital energy surged and the cup was shattered into powder. His face was as dark as water.
"Who is targeting the Four Seas Escort Agency and our Han family?" Han Dazhong's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.
Within three days, the Four Seas Escort Agency had been robbed five times. Although the goods weren't robbed, a few of the escorts were injured. Their journey was delayed and the agency's reputation suffered a significant loss.
Ever since the Han family gradually became powerful and made a name for themselves in the martial arts world, this was something that had never happened in the past ten years.
It was obvious that someone was targeting the agency and the Han family!
"I've asked the escorts. The people who came to rob the goods were all masked. Moreover, they did it at night. I couldn't tell where they came from." The young man in the hall said respectfully, "Master, should we increase the number of escorts? The agency's business has already decreased by twenty percent. If this continues, our losses will be too great."
Han Dazhong waved his hand and said in a low voice, "No need. This time, you and your junior brothers will personally escort the goods. If anyone dares to rob the goods, bring them back to me. I'd like to see who has the guts to target our Han family!"
He had taught these disciples since they were young. Each of them had extraordinary skills and were far superior to ordinary escorts. They were usually the heads of escorts. If they escorted the goods together, they would definitely be safe.
"Yes!" The young man responded and was about to leave.
Just then, another man rushed in from outside the door.
"Master, something bad has happened. Junior Brother Zhang ran into trouble while escorting the goods. All the goods were robbed and the escorts were all injured. Even Junior Brother was taken away by the robbers!"
The young man's expression changed. When he looked up, he saw the muscles on his master's face twitching uncontrollably. He was clearly enraged.
"You've gone too far!"
A roar was heard, followed by the sound of tables and chairs falling in all directions.
