"Are you still not satisfied with the realm of the peak great swordsman?" Lu Ming laughed and said: "The path of swordsmanship lies in accumulation and pondering. It is not that you can change your life by acquiring some treasures overnight. We are all still young, and our biggest capital is
It means having enough time to fight hard.”
Lu Ming's words were very light, but no one could fail to understand the confidence contained in him. Lengjian and Zhuoligetu looked at each other, and both saw burning passion in each other's expressions.
Lu Ming stayed at home for another three days. During this time, he spent more time with his father, eating and chatting together. In fact, the old man was definitely a busy man, but he knew that during these three nights, Lu Ming was busy
When you are practicing swordsmanship, you must understand the swordsmanship with your heart, and there is no time to waste.
A man's ambitions are everywhere! Lu Tianlin once had this dream, but now that his son's hope has come true, how can he be reluctant to let go? So on the morning of the third day, the old man decisively left first.
Of course Lu Ming knew his father's intentions, and the Sword Masters of Destruction also showed up with a tacit understanding.
"Are you all ready?" Seeing Lu Ming's indifferent nod, the Destruction Sword Master smiled softly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He really didn't know what could happen to surprise him.
He paused for a moment and said, "That boy Nangong doesn't seem to be in very good shape lately. I think you know that, but from the look of you now, you have already made a plan?"
"The way to Holy Sword Mountain happens to pass through Fenghua City. Let's stop by and see him." Lu Ming said calmly.
The Destruction Sword Master's eyes lit up. This kid Lu Ming was indeed affectionate and righteous, and he knew everything very well. It seemed that this kid Nangong was really lucky.
Lu Ming only brought some necessary banknotes and two swords, and then asked his servants to bring horses, and everyone set out on the road lightly.
There is a bit of coldness in the air in early winter, and the slight chill makes the mountains and forests on both sides of the road look slightly silvery, adding a touch of vitality to this boring season.
Traveling on the road is very boring, but Qing'er's delicate eyes have been looking forward to something. Unfortunately, her luck was not good this time. She didn't even encounter a group of bandits, and she arrived at Fenghua safely.
City. But if you think about it from another perspective, this is the luck of the bandits.
Fenghua City is still prosperous, and swordsmen will be seen passing by on the street from time to time. Many of them can be seen wearing sword hall costumes. Obviously, in the past year, sword hall has recruited a large number of swordsmen to increase its own strength.
strength.
There has also been a slight increase in the number of patrolling troops on the streets, and many young faces can be seen. Although various favorable conditions for joining the army are posted on the streets, the increase in number is still very limited. In the army with many rules and the relatively free sword hall
, young people naturally choose the latter easily.
This was a check and balance between two huge forces, and Lu Ming didn't think it had anything to do with him. He looked ahead with indifferent eyes, just looking for someone.
Lu Ming's horse stopped at the entrance of a weapons store, and a few young people walked out of it. They were all playing with the newly purchased swords in their hands, showing off and comparing them with each other.
Lu Ming felt that they were about the same age as Nangong Huajian and should know some information, so he said, "Please stay here."
Hearing a faint voice, several young people saw several tall horses approaching, and everyone was wearing a sword. They were stunned for a moment, and then they all nervously clenched their swords.
Lu Ming smiled calmly and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm asking you about someone. Do you recognize Nangong Huajian?"
"Ah? Are you looking for him?" When the young man at the head heard that Lu Ming was asking about this person, he immediately put down his sword, looked at Lu Ming and everyone, and said, "Looking at you, it doesn't look like you are here to learn swordsmanship.
Yes, are you here to challenge him? Then
You guys came here in vain, let me tell you, the number one genius in Fenghua City now is no longer Nangong Huajian, but Yang Weide! The genius who has just been recruited by Jian Tang has even achieved tenth place in the national trial.
Excellent results!"
"That's right! Yang Weide is the boss here now!" A fencer next to him said: "Who is Nangong Huajian? He was just a former genius. He lost his right hand in the sword hall trial a year ago, and now he has
Completely ruined."
"What's the use of a useless person? It's worthless to challenge him." Another tall and thin man said: "I said, if you come to challenge Boss Yang, you must be prepared to go back, hehe...hehe
…”
Seeing the proud smiles of these swordsmen, Qing'er frowned and said: "Who does Yang Weide mean? Is he worthy of my young master's challenge? Even if my young master wants to challenge, he will challenge a swordsman like that woman Xue Mei.
A mere tenth place in the country is a big deal, but my young master will not take it seriously. Auntie, let me tell you, my young master is going to Shengjian Mountain this time to challenge that woman Xuemei! I came here just to take a look.
friend!"
"Qing'er..." Leng Jian whispered.
"I just can't stand the way they look like villains!" Qing'er rolled her eyes.
Lu Ming smiled, patted her little head, turned to look at the swordsmen, and said, "I'm only looking for Nangong Huajian, do you know where his home is?"
"It seems that you are not here to challenge Boss Yang. We have misunderstood." The leading swordsman said with a smile.
"His family is the Nangong Mansion, but I advise you to have less to do with him. The Nangong family is in a bad situation right now. The business has collapsed, all business partners have withdrawn, and there are many more creditors, and that useless person
He is not at home either. He drinks in the tavern every day and spends the whole day drinking. He has even lost his basic identity as a swordsman and is completely ruined." The young man said disdainfully.
"It is said that the Nangong family's business has collapsed. Mr. Nangong's young wives have divided up the last bit of the family's property. Nangong Huajian doesn't even have any property, and he doesn't even have the bride price for his wife."
"Let me tell you, this is retribution. Do you still remember how arrogant the Nangong family used to be? Then Nangong Huajian was arrogant wherever he went, looking down on everyone at all. But now it's better. He's not even as good as us.
Hey! How about it being said that things are changing?"
Several people were talking to each other, and Lu Ming frowned. In this world of swords, if the family has a strong swordsman, or a swordsman who can be strong in the future, it is undoubtedly an extremely tough family.
Backer, it seems that the Nangong family's affairs are also directly related to Nangong Huajian's injury.
Zhuoligetu glanced at Lu Ming, and then said to the young people: "Do you know where the pub where he drinks is?"
"It's just two streets away from the Drunkard's House. That street is where drunkards gather."
Seeing the disdainful faces of several people, Zhuoligetu resisted the idea of beating them up and asked Lu Ming: "Shall we go there now?"
"Let's go." Lu Ming nodded, lightly kicked off his horse, and walked towards the street.
Lu Ming and others left, but the remaining swordsmen were lingering in the same place. The tall and thin man glanced at the direction where Lu Ming's back disappeared, and took a fierce breath, "Damn, I really don't know how high the world is. If I don't
When I told Boss Yang about this, I was so nervous that I felt so nervous."
"Yes, brother, look at their appearance, they don't pay attention to anyone at all. Looking at the direction they are entering the city, they must be from the small place of Tiandu City. This is our Fenghua City! If we don't give them
A profound lesson, you really treat us as just decorations!"
"These people are going to Holy Sword Mountain, and this is the place they must pass... It seems that they are really going to challenge Master Xuemei." The leading swordsman did not respond, and kept thinking in his mind, and finally he said
He clapped his hands and said: "You guys are watching them secretly, I will tell Boss Yang about this right now."
At this time, a man came from the shop next to the street and said with a smile: "Brother Fan and a few brothers are walking in such a hurry, it seems they are in a hurry?"
The leading swordsman stood still, with a very good attitude on his face. It seemed that he was very comfortable with this call from Brother Fan, and said: "It's something urgent, what? If you don't follow your boss, you still have time to hang out.
?”
"Boss Yu gave me some special tasks." The visitor smiled and said, "What happened to those people who came from out of town just now?"
"Those people are here to find that loser Nangong Huajian." Xiao Fan sneered disdainfully.
"Nangong Huajian?" The visitor frowned. The boss has been arranging for me to monitor him recently to see if he can come back from cultivation. What are these people doing here? And there seem to be two elderly people.
, they look like masters, are they here to help Nangong Huajian?
This is not okay. I need to tell the boss about this immediately.
"And they also want to challenge Master Xuemei, huh! What a group of guys who don't care about life and death." Another person next to Xiao Fan sneered.
"Well, then they are really looking for death." The visitor thought for a moment, then left quickly and left in a hurry.
Xiao Fan and others looked at each other and then continued to act separately.
The two streets arrived quickly. Lu Ming didn't know what happened behind him. In fact, even if he knew, Lu Ming just smiled and passed by. He had no intention of dealing with these people who were harboring little tricks.
But what surprised everyone was that just two streets apart, there was a difference like heaven and hell. The prosperity on the main street could not be seen at all. The road was covered with mud pits, and there were many dilapidated small buildings along the street.
, as well as the various carriages and horses tied to the roadside, show that this is a place where the hard-working people spend their time after working, but it cannot be put on the table at all, which can be regarded as the sadness behind the prosperity. (To be continued.)
