Chapter 143 Xiao Shiyilang

Early the next morning, Xu Zhengping briefly explained to Fu Xiaowu and asked him to wait for Zhang Wenqing to come back from vacation and organize the help together.

At the same time, Fu Xiaowu was secretly asked to pay attention to Yue Buqun, and Yue Buqun's people should not be involved in key positions.

Although Fu Xiaowu was surprised how Xu Zhengping could be wary of Yue Buqun, one advantage of his actions was that he never asked the reason, he simply agreed and carried it out.

Xu Zhengping also asked Lei Zong to teach his disciple Su Wubing well. Su Wubing is still young and growing, so it is not suitable to practice martial arts that are too intense. He can only lay a solid foundation.

Therefore, there is no need for me to give instructions all the time. I only need to ask Lei Zong to supervise me every day to prevent laziness.

Then he mounted his horse and galloped into the wilderness, and embarked on the road north together with the long-awaited Lian Xing.

Hebei, Hancheng...

Two months have passed since we went north. Summer has turned to winter, and snow has fallen all over the Northland.

Even if the weather is bad, ordinary people still have to be busy with two meals a day, and the business of charcoal fire and firewood is particularly good.

Sheep Button Heel has a very interesting name. This is the most famous mutton restaurant in Hancheng.

The boss is a Mongolian and has been opening a shop here for more than ten years.

His skills in killing and cooking sheep are first-rate. He can cook the mutton until it is as crispy as pork, as firm as beef, and as delicious as donkey meat, but not like mutton.

Because of this, it has become famous and attracts diners from far and near.

Especially people like Xu Zhengping who carry swords and swords are the most common and are the most willing to spend money.

For example, Xu Zhengping, who had one person per table at this time, chose mutton made with three cooking methods: steaming, roasting, and cooking. He placed it on the table and ate it carefully with the fine wine Bamboo Leaf Green.

There is a charcoal stove under the table for heating, so you don’t have to worry about the low temperature in winter causing the food on the table to get cold.

Lian Xing, who came north with Xu Zhengping, did not sit at the same table with him.

When traveling in the world, you don't necessarily need to go together. It's best to be able to cover each other in the dark and in the light, so that you can respond in time no matter what happens.

So when Xu Zhengping was eating mutton, he couldn't see where Lian Xing was.

Xu Zhengping, who was eating and drinking alone at this time, felt comfortable because he could not only concentrate on tasting the food, but also carefully learn about the recent interesting happenings in the Northland world from the discussions of the people around him.

However, the interesting stories that have happened recently seem to be inseparable from one person.

That man was a one-legged thief. There have always been many one-legged robbers in the world, but there was only one who could be as infamous as him and be punished by everyone.

This person is Xiao Shiyilang...

Xu Zhengping ate for an hour and listened for an hour, and he already roughly knew that recently, the Jinzhen Shen family in the world had been wiped out, more than a hundred people in Mengjiazhuang had been massacred, and a million taels of darts from the escort bureaus in seven provinces had been robbed, etc...

It seems that all the evil deeds that happen in the world are caused by this person.

In short, the comrades in the world wanted to hunt this man down because of three things on his body. First, he had a bad reputation; second, he had countless treasures; and third, he had a deer-cutting knife.

As long as any one of these three points is present, it will be enough to cause the knights in the martial arts to pursue him crazily.

Not to mention that he has all three, which means that as long as you can kill him, you can not only become famous, but also get countless treasures from him, and at the same time get the world-famous swords and sharp weapons.

Xu Zhengping had never seen someone take on the world's evil like this. He found it quite interesting and couldn't help but listen for a little longer.

Gradually, he discovered that although the mutton in front of him was delicious, it would still feel greasy after eating it for a long time or too much.

Unfortunately, there are only pickles and no fresh vegetables in winter. I rely on tea to relieve the fatigue, which is a bit worse after all.

At this time, the curtain outside the store rolled up, and a rude-looking young man walked in carrying a huge fruit basket.

This young man looks very ordinary, but he has a short sword on his waist, which makes him appear to be not so ordinary.

Xu Zhengping's eyes lit up and he asked: "How come there are so many fresh fruits and vegetables in this winter?"

The young man smiled and came to Xu Zhengping, "That's why they are always more expensive than before. No matter what kind of fruit they are, they cost thirty cents each."

Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "It's expensive, but it's not that outrageous."

He took out two ingots of silver, which seemed to be at least twenty taels, which seemed enough to buy the entire basket of fruit.

The young man said: "The money is enough to buy a basket, but I believe you can't eat so much."

Xu Zhengping said: "I also believe that you are not a fruit farmer."

"Who do you think I am?"

"A man who lives by his sword."

As Xu Zhengping spoke, he opened his palms. The calluses on his palms and the tiger's mouth spoke volumes.

The young man looked at his hands and just smiled. In the end, he only took Xu Zhengping one hundred and fifty Wen, leaving five peaches, and then sold the rest of the fruits to the boss.

Satisfied, he took the money and was about to leave, but he met an ordinary citizen.

The common man said: "It's you, here to sell fruit again? When will you repay the one tael of silver you owe me?"

The young man who must have made a living with a knife actually blushed a little. He dug into his bag and found a copper coin that was almost equal to one tael of silver, and gave it back to the other party.

Xu Zhengping could see that it was actually very simple for this young man to default on his debt.

There are actually many scoundrels in the world who rely on their martial arts skills to default on debts and even kill the creditor's family, but there are very few who can abide by the rules.

Xu Zhengping ate a peach and was about to get up and go back to his room. Suddenly, a Jianghu man present seemed to have heard about Xiao Shiyilang's murder of more than a hundred members of the Meng family. He was extremely angry and slapped his palm on the table.

"Master Meng saved my life from Luo Mingxi. No matter how good Xiao Shiyilang's martial arts skills are, I will definitely kill him to avenge the Meng family!"

He is not the first person to make a vow like this.

Xu Zhengping didn't pay much attention, but when he got up, he happened to bump into the young man who was listening.

The young man looked at Xu Zhengping and suddenly said with a smile: "Since this gentleman is a master of swordsmanship, it seems that he is here for Xiao Shiyilang."

Xu Zhengping said: “What you see with your eyes may not be true, let alone what you hear with your ears.

Besides, a person who owes money to the common people will feel embarrassed, and a person who makes money by selling fruits must not be able to do those things."

The young man's expression changed, but Xu Zhengping chuckled twice and returned to the room.

This young man is none other than Xiao Shiyilang, a notorious thief simply because he never defends himself against the unfounded charges framed against him.

Maybe he did do some worthy things for some worthy people, but the way he supported himself was always through his own labor rather than martial arts.

When Xiao Shiyilang frowned and was about to leave, there was a sound of a horse neighing outside the store. Someone got off the horse and praised another horse in the stable.

As he spoke, the curtain at the store door was opened, and a burly middle-aged man in his fifties entered the store.

When he came in, the whole store was completely quiet.

Anyone who knows him knows that if he doesn't speak in public, others will have no right to speak.
