Chapter Eighteen: Banquet Cottage

A white figure flew out of the mountain forest. He was very fast and flew to Qi Ying's side in the blink of an eye. The sharp weapon in his hand swept across Qi Ying like a wind and a cloud.

Such speed and skill are rare in the world.

Qi Ying judged that the sharp weapon was a knife. He quickly turned over and avoided the incoming knife energy.

The man in white kept exerting his strength and used another move to chop Huashan and chop Qi Ying's head vertically.

His sword skills are not only fast, but also sharp, as if every time he slashes with a sword, it will cause the earth to shatter.

Qi Ying connected the bamboo to the stall, but the bamboo was chopped and the gun was on the ground. He had no time to pick it up.

After dodging a few swords, he suddenly remembered that he still had a sword on him. He was so used to using guns that he had forgotten about this portable weapon.

He suddenly pulled out the Qingfeng sword from his waist and met the blade.

The light and shadow of swords flashed in the air.

Qi Ying's Huayu sword technique is as dense as rain and its shadows are like flowers.

After just a few moves, the man in white slowed down his attack and strengthened his defense. The shadow of the sword was like a flower, forcing him to increase his defense on his back and lower body.

He was secretly shocked that this man was so skilled in swordsmanship that he was forced to go on the defensive.

Qi Ying also marveled at the swordsmanship of the man in white: The swordsmanship of the man in white was amazing! He didn't even dare to touch his blade with his own sword, so he had to use his agile sword shadow to neutralize his strength and force him to change from offense to defense.

.

The two of them cut off several trees at the foot of the mountain and made crisscrossing grooves on the rocks on the mountain wall.

After thirty moves, the man in white could only defend and attack, but had no ability to fight back and was at a disadvantage.

The man in white thought: This man's swordsmanship is so powerful, he is a rare master. He wants to go up the mountain to ask for a drink, so why not invite him up the mountain according to his wishes and make friends.

The man in white feinted a few times and withdrew from the battle. He stretched out his palm to dissuade Qi Ying and said: "Your Excellency is a master of swordsmanship. May I ask your name?"

Qi Ying put away his sword and looked at the man in white. He was twenty years old. He was tall and burly, with steel ribs and iron bones. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and deep eyes. He could give people a bit of bravery even if he stood still.

.

He sheathed his sword, raised his hand to the man in white and said, "Your sword skills are also good. My name is Qi Ying, what do you call me?"

Han Xiao cupped his fists and replied: "My name is Han Xiao, and I am the master of the West Hall of Kuaiji Mountain. It's all my men's fault for being ignorant and offending Qi Xia. I hope you can forgive me!"

Qi Ying waved her arm and said: "Little misunderstanding! I am not. I am tired from walking and thirsty, and I have no place to sleep. I want to find wine in the mountains and sleep in a thatched hut."

"Haha!" Han Xiao said with a smile: "Qi Xia came to my village as a guest. We are very happy to ask for it. There is no reason to refuse. Welcome Qi Xia up the mountain, please." He pointed to the mountain road and invited Qi Ying to go up the mountain.

A door opened in the stone wall. The two entered the mountain gate together. Han Xiao accompanied Qi Ying.

Not far from the mountain gate, there is a stable. The salesman pulled the carriage towards the stable.

The bandits didn't stop him. They were so familiar with the salesman that they almost regarded him as a member of the village.

Qi Ying looked at the scenery of Kuaiji Mountain while walking. He saw that Kuaiji Mountain was tall and majestic, and the top of the mountain in the middle was submerged in the clouds. It was so spectacular!

I also saw that there was a river at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain. There were mountains and water, and it was a beautiful sight in the world.

He praised: "There are clouds at the top of the mountain and a river at the foot of the mountain. What a beautiful mountain!"

He climbed the hillside and saw a mountain road that could only accommodate two carriages running side by side, winding halfway up the hillside. The hillside was steep and the mountain road was dangerous.

He pointed to the mountain road and asked Han Xiao: "Is this mountain road the only way to go to Taizhou?"

Han Xiao nodded and said: "This mountain road is the only way from Hangzhou to Ninghai and Taizhou."

Qi Ying wiped his sweat and sighed: "This mountain road seems to be hanging on a cliff!"

"Haha!" Han Xiao said with a smile: "One person blocks the road, but ten thousand people can't get out of the way!"

The towering main peak in the middle of Kuaiji Mountain is called Taibai Peak. There are also low peaks at the beginning and end.

The bandits have the East Village at the east end, the West Village at the west end, and the Middle Village in the middle.

The two were walking on the mountain road of Xizhai. Han Xiao pointed to the nearby small mountain peak and said: "This is the Xizhai that I am in charge of."

Qi Ying asked: "You are the leader of the village, then who is the leader of your village?"

Han Xiao said: "The leader of our village is called Wang Feng, and he is in charge of the middle part of the Zhongzhai. The leader of the village also has a branch in the East Village, and the leader is called Huang Suo."

"The leader of your village is called Wang Feng?" Qi Ying was shocked and said: "Why is the name Wang Feng so familiar? Could it be that he is Wang Feng, one of the four heroes who fought against the Japanese?"

Wang Feng was a celebrity in the world fifteen years ago. He has been living in seclusion for these years and has been almost forgotten by the world. But as long as his name is mentioned, the martial arts community still remembers him.

Han Xiao said: "It's him, Qi Xia is really well-informed! I still remember seniors like Wang Feng. He hasn't been out of the village for more than ten years, and people in the world almost ignore him."

The two chatted all the way and unknowingly went up a mountain road.

Qi Ying saw the ancient trees towering into the sky, thousands of branches vying for glory, the birds singing and the flowers fragrant, and the whole area was full of vitality. He sighed: "In this place where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, Hall Master Han really enjoys happiness here."

Han Xiao said: "If Qi Xia likes this place, how about staying here forever?"

"Haha," Qi Ying said with a smile, "I understand Hall Master Han's wishes. I am just a wandering prodigal. If you ask me to stay quietly in one place, I won't be able to stay."

Xizhai is not high, and the mountain road to Xizhai is also wide.

Qi Ying arrived at Xizhai and saw that there were hundreds of wooden houses in Xizhai, including military buildings, grain depots, weapons depots, conference halls, banquet halls, etc.

Han Xiao invited Qi Ying to sit down in the banquet hall. Several minions served hare meat and wine in clay pots.

Han Xiao poured the wine and said, "Qi Xia, please enjoy. These are the rabbit meat we hunted in the mountains, and the wine is the fine wine brought by the salesman from the city."

Qi Ying was hungry. She wiped her palms and made a greedy look. She smiled and said: "Haha, Master, you are so interesting and so delicious, so I won't be polite."

The two of them were biting into the meat and drinking wine. Qi Yingdao said it was delicious.

During the dinner, Han Xiao asked: "Qi Xia, where are you going this time?"

Qi Yingdao: "There are rumors in the world that there is business on the southeast coast, so I wanted to go and have a look."

Han Xiao asked: "Oh? What business?"

Qi Ying said: "I heard that the magistrate of Taizhou has issued an official document: if you kill a Japanese pirate, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

Han Xiao chuckled and said: "You can get five taels of silver for killing one person. Is Qi Xia willing to do such a cheap business?"

Qi Ying sighed and said: "Well, Hall Master Han is sitting on the mountain and eating the mountain. Of course he doesn't know the hardships of us rangers. We have had one meal but no next meal. It's already good to have business."

Han Xiao said: "I heard that Bashan Ke, the killer of the Jianghu, charges extremely high prices, and a business transaction costs thousands or even thousands of taels of silver. Despite this, there are many people looking for him to do business. So there is no shortage of big business in the Jianghu. I

I don’t think you’re just killing innocent people indiscriminately, just trying to earn some head money from the Japanese pirates.”

Qi Ying chuckled and said: "You know me, Hall Master Han! I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but killing Japanese pirates can gain people's support and get some money, so I feel itchy!"

It seems that Qi Xia is still a very right-and-wrong person. Han Xiao raised his thumb and praised: "You are really a chivalrous and righteous person. I will call you Qi Daxia from now on!"

"Haha!" The two of them laughed at each other while holding their glasses.

Han Xiao warmly entertained Qi Ying. One day he took Qi Ying to see a waterfall in the mountains. The waterfalls flowed down the mountain stream, what a natural beauty!

Qi Ying sighed: "The hall master is very powerful in martial arts and should be able to make a difference in the world. Do you want to stay in this mountain for the rest of your life?"

Han Xiao sighed slightly: "Ahem, you don't know something. I chose Luocao because I had no choice but to do so!"

"Oh," Qi Ying asked, "can you tell me what the reason is?"

Han Xiao frowned, his face showing pain, and said: "Qi Xia, forgive me, I can't say it now. It's not that I want to hide it deliberately, it's really..."

Qi Ying patted Han Xiao on the shoulder and comforted: "Master, please don't make things difficult! I know everyone has difficulties."
