Chapter 132 The long river flows unstoppably(1/2)
This kind of challenge in the street attracts everyone's attention. It is the most upright and straightforward. It is basically impossible for the parties involved to avoid fighting. Anyone who avoids fighting in this situation should really not hang around in the world in the future, otherwise he will be nagged by others.
His whole life will be worse than that of Master Xue.
Although this is the most passionate way of martial arts, every martial artist appreciates it very much. This was the way Cui Yuanyong went to Beimang to challenge Yue Hongling, and Yue Hongling always praised it.
But after all, people in Jianghu are so sophisticated. Generally speaking, as long as both parties are familiar with each other, they will not choose such a no-retreat method. If you want to compete, you can invite it privately, and the victory or defeat will not hurt your face.
Wan Dongliu and Zhao Changhe are obviously quite familiar with each other. They have entertained guests, made noises, and faced provocations from the barbarians together. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Zhao Changhe lives was owned by the Caobang, and now not a single copper coin has been confiscated from him.
He feeds his horses with good fodder, and the top guy goes whoring for free.
Not to mention the passers-by on the long street, Xuanchong and Tang Buqi were scratching their heads at this moment, which was very incomprehensible.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wan Dongliu couldn't refuse, and he jumped down from the building very happily, clasping his fists and saying: "I didn't expect Brother Zhao to think so highly of me, so it would be disrespectful for me to fight with a hero like Brother Zhao.
willing."
Zhao Changhe also raised his hand in gesture and said with a smile: "Goodbye, Brother Wan is twenty-three, but if you are older than me, I will lose my life if you call yourself younger brother."
Even if you call me sister Yue Hongling, I won't see you lose your life... Wan Dongliu felt in his heart that Zhao Changhe's attitude was not too bad. What on earth is he doing?
Then he asked: "Brother Zhao wants to compete with me to test swordsmanship. You can invite him privately, but why is it necessary?"
Zhao Changhe laughed and said: "Since I went to Yangzhou, I have always been in the middle of a play, other people's and my own, over and over again, which is quite boring. Why not be more relaxed?"
Wan Dongliu frowned: "Why can't I understand what Brother Zhao said?"
"The Maitreya Cult is quite good at bewitching the people of Kuhaha. Most of the Cao Gang are hard-working people. They are hard to resist and have been infiltrated into a mess. Brother Wan must be feeling very uncomfortable?"
Wandong Liudan said: "Not bad."
"So he pretended to be a snake, as if he had believed in that trick, but in fact he had been looking for good opportunities... For example, he plotted to assassinate the prefect and fell into the trap of the Maitreya Sect. Then the imperial court thundered and the Maitreya Sect collapsed thousands of miles away. Brother Wan took advantage of this trend to clean up the gang.
, reorganized the Caobang style, and Yangzhou has no resistance since then. The Caobang family is the only one, but the court still feels that it can rely on it... It is hard to say who will belong to Yangzhou in the future. "
The passers-by who were watching were far away from each other and could not hear the conversation here. The expressions of Xuanchong and Tang Buqi upstairs changed.
This inference is indeed reasonable. The real murderer must have his own purpose, and it is not just to give gifts to the Demon Suppressor. It seems that the one who benefited the most this time is really the Cao Gang, and Wan Dongliu has enough motives.
In fact, Wan Dongliu is more familiar with the prefect's daily routine than others - Caobang has always had close contacts with the government. Didn't the prefect participate in his banquets...
But we can't just rely on inferences without evidence. Caobang is not someone who can throw dirty water at will.
Wan Dongliu's expression remained unchanged, he shook his head and smiled: "Brother Zhao, if you have any other ideas, you might as well tell me. I'd also like to hear outsiders' opinions."
Zhao Changhe said: "There is no reason for Hu people to come and stamp on my face for no reason. Chili asked Miss Yue her name, but it turns out that he had no idea that Miss Yue would be there. In other words, he, the number one Qianlong, actually came here to challenge us.
What's the point of being ranked in the dozens? Winning shows how capable Chili is? Besides, Chili killed a lot of people along the way. He should have been acting in hiding. Qianlong's number one is not number one on the Heavenly Ranking. He's so high-profile.
Are you seeking death? So it can only be caused by someone."
Wan Dongliu nodded and said with a smile: "It makes sense."
"They knew that there was Xuanchong, Tang Buqi, and me, Zhao Changhe, but they didn't know that there was Yue Hongling. This means that someone leaked the guest list to the Hu people in advance. It is very possible that provocations were made while leaking the list, such as
It is said that Zhongyuan Qianlong thought that Chi Li had a false reputation and was vulnerable to attack. Chi Li had his pride, so he naturally came to fight back, so when he opened his mouth to scold him, he was also claiming that he had a false reputation, otherwise the false reputation of a group of people behind him would have nothing to do with him.
Do people look at you?"
Wan Dongliu looked a little surprised: "This is interesting, Brother Zhao, continue?"
"The prefect would not be so bored after eating so much that he would come uninvited and sit there just to smear the faces of the barbarians... He could only have come by invitation and it was just the right time."
"Oh? Why do you do this?"
"Brother Wan set up this trick just to let everyone, especially the Tang family, see the collusion between the prefect and the Hu people. Especially if Miss Yue is not here, we will all be trampled on, and we will only feel extremely resentful."
, Tang’s nephew turned around and started throwing dirty water, so I’m not too happy about it. I used to think it was completely unreasonable not to invite Miss Yue to such a party, but now that I think about it, isn’t that natural..."
Tang Buqi: "..."
On the rooftop in the distance, Yue Hongling was sitting on the edge of the eaves, looking up and taking a sip of wine. She looked over with her beautiful eyes, and it was all interesting.
Zhao Changhe made the concluding remarks: "Although the opposition and hatred due to Miss Yue's enemy in Chili did not reach the level expected, it is almost there. This is the time to assassinate the prefect. In a few days, he will be dead. Da
The desired effect was not achieved. Things fell into place that night, and Brother Wan's plan was finally realized smoothly."
Wan Dongliu put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "It's a very interesting idea. In fact, even according to Brother Zhao's guess, it seems to have no impact on Brother Zhao. There are some things that Brother Zhao also wants to do? Why should he be so aggressive?"
"It really doesn't have much impact. Zhao just doesn't want to be used as a chess piece. After the game, he doesn't know who he is counting money for." Zhao Changhe paused and then said: "Besides, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Zhao
On the way to the banquet, I was assassinated by a bow and arrow - it must be the same person who killed the prefect, intending to establish the suspicion of a Hu. How many people know that Zhao came to the banquet? Anyone who can ambush me on the way can just sift through it.
There aren’t many left.”
Wan Dongliu said with a smile: "This is unjust. Wan was entertaining guests at that time. How can I separate myself?"
"Some idiot told me that you all once left the scene to relieve yourself. Just a cup of tea. With Brother Wan's Qinggong, it's actually about the same."
Tang Buqi: "..."
"The other party is a man who is accustomed to using bows. It seems that he can easily be led to be a barbarian from the grassland. Few people have thought about it. Cao gangs are accustomed to traveling on water. In water battles, which one is more useful?" Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Zhao
I have also fought water battles, and the best thing to use is of course the bow."
Wan Dongliu's expression finally became serious, but he still waved his hands and said with a smile: "There are too many speculations."
Zhao Changhe suddenly changed the topic and asked a question that was thousands of miles away: "Brother Wan, when you and I first met, was that thief Ji Chengkong still there?"
Wan Dongliu said: "Still detained in my private cell...Brother Zhao has been interested in this person twice. If you really want to intercede for him, then let him go to the lower levels. What a big deal?"
"I'm afraid Brother Wan may not be willing to let it go. It may be a bit serious for this person to have peeked into Brother Wan's privacy." Zhao Changhe smiled: "Ji Chengkong didn't have any other packages on him that day. The thing he stole must be a small object. He can stuff it at will.
The one in your arms?"
Wan Dongliu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Not bad."
Zhao Changhe lowered his voice so much that even Xuan Chong Tang Buqi couldn't hear him upstairs: "For example... a mask with a special meaning?"
Although the voice was low, it was like the sound of a huge bell ringing in Wan Dongliu's ears. His heart jumped wildly, and his expression finally changed drastically.
"Brother Wan framed the Hu people but chose me to kill him. Although it may be a bit of a mistake... Zhao couldn't stand this anger." Zhao Changhe said with a long laugh, the dragon bird unsheathed and slashed wildly with his sword.
: "It's not polite to come back and not return. Just give me a knife!"
"Choke!" Wan Dongliu drew his sword well prepared.
The two knives clashed, the surrounding sand and gravel rolled wildly, the wine flags flew, and the burst of energy made the surrounding doors creak.
The onlookers were all moved. Is this really the battle situation after seventy or eighty Qianlong?
Wan Dongliu looked very serious: "You are actually at the fifth level of the entrance hall."
"Both each other." Zhao Changhe grinned: "Brother Wan also touched the sixth level quietly, didn't he?"
Tang Buqi silently took out a Qianlong Bang booklet from his arms and tore it into pieces.
Why don't you tear this thing apart? It can only mislead people... At your level, you should play in the top 50 or even the top 40. Is it fun to hide behind the 70th or 80th place?
Next to him, Xuan Chong looked solemn and suddenly whispered: "What a fast knife!"
Tang Buqi looked over and saw a dazzling sword light coming out of Wan Dongliu's hand. It was as if the afterimage of the sword light was still there, and the sword had already reached in front of Zhao Changhe.
"..." Tang Buqi knew that if it were him, his head would be gone.
Too fast, too strong... It seems that even if there is a river flowing eastward, it will be cut off by this knife, and there will be huge waves that will surge into the sky, and it will be choked back by this knife!
Caobang Canglan sword technique, breaking the waves with ten cuts!
"clang!"
Tang Buqi thought he couldn't resist the sword, but when Zhao Changhe waved one hand, Longque easily pushed the Canglan sword to the side, as if the stormy waves were rushing forward, but he found that the bigger one was here.
The wave and the pitou covered him back.
Immediately after the two sides exchanged waves, the "dinging, clanging" sounds like beads falling on a jade plate broke out one after another, as if the wild waves were constantly clashing, and the passers-by onlookers could hardly see clearly the paths of the two sides!
Tang Buqi stood up in shock: "Why can he be so fast?"
Xuan Chong murmured to himself: "Why do I feel the smell of Chili Linghu's sword technique?"
The two looked at each other and were extremely shocked. It seemed that it was not an illusion. It really smelled like Chili...
Chili is a scimitar. When the sword is drawn out, it forms a circle. The end point is the starting point. It looks like it goes straight. How did Zhao Changhe achieve such a large number of things?
This kind of small and fast exchanges should not be what Zhao Changhe is good at at all... Regardless of his skills or swords, he just showed it to you. The match against Wan Dongliu was not inferior at all, and it even... felt that he
Still slightly dominant?
"No...it's not just Chili's intention, but also mine." Yue Hongling, who was watching the battle in the distance, was looking at the battle in a daze, and whispered to herself: "Mine is more obvious, not only my sword intention, but also...
My technique."
The blush on his face disappeared in a flash, just like the rising morning glow in the sky at this moment.
Because it really contains the meaning of her technique, which was just obtained through double cultivation in the early morning, and it is not a simulation.
"He is really a genius." Xuan Chong whispered to himself: "With such sword intent and sword intent, even if someone breaks away from the religion, a normal person would not be able to grasp the essence in less than ten days and a half. How long has he been...
Moreover, he is still undergoing a trial in this battle, and he is using Brother Wan to sharpen his sword. The more he fights, the more he will master it."
Tang Buqi also noticed that the more Zhao Changhe fought, the more harmonious he was, while Wan Dongliu felt more and more stagnant.
And this guy definitely has spring water sword intent, and the more he fights, the more obvious it becomes!
To be continued...
