Kunshi Town is the southernmost town of Jinpan Kingdom, and it is also the gateway of Jinpan Kingdom to the Jin Dynasty.
The town is located in a corner, and there are not many native-born residents in the town. Most of them are wanderers, which can be described as a mixed bag.
Li Xiao and Shi Yu chose a restaurant to rest.
Another special feature of Kunshi Town is that there is no curfew. It is already midnight, and the restaurants are still overcrowded and noisy.
Li Xiao and Shi Yu sit by the window. This is a little habit of Li Xiao.
The food on the table was very sumptuous, but Li Xiao turned a blind eye and just looked out the window and drank in silence.
Shi Yu was dealing with a roast chicken, but his ears were perked up, listening to people at several tables nearby talking about the current affairs.
Of course, the most popular one is still Li Xiaowen Jian Han Qianye.
Everyone has their own opinions on this matter.
Someone said: "Everyone knows about Han Qianye's swordsmanship, but few people have actually seen it. I think it's just that it's too mysterious, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch a sword."
Someone retorted: "I don't think so. After Li Xiao defeated Han Qianye, he also defeated Xie Ling and killed Lao Jiujian. I can only say that Li Xiao is too strong."
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, I don't know if you have heard that even Qi Zhen from Yunmeng City was defeated by Li Xiao a few days ago. In the end, he even lost his sword and let a man named Vulture take advantage.
.”
Some people questioned this: "No way? How did you know?"
The man smiled mysteriously and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Shi Yu was a little curious about this. Li Xiao went to see Qi Zhen just two days ago. At that time, apart from the two parties involved, Li Xiao and Qi Zhen, the only people who witnessed the incident were him, the vulture and the old boatman. So who spread the news?
News? Vulture or old boatman?
Shi Yu felt that the vulture was more likely. Based on the old boatman's behavior when he saw Qi Zhen, he would definitely not talk about such a thing everywhere.
When Shi Yu was thinking about this, the group of drinkers had already discussed the Nine Swords Sect and even mentioned Shi Yu.
Shi Yu then raised his ears and listened.
"The Nine Swords Sect is really unlucky. Han Qianye was the only one supporting the entire sect. Now without Han Qianye, I'm afraid it won't even be considered a third-rate sect. There will be a lot of trouble in the future."
"Speaking of the Nine Swords Sect, I heard a secret thing. Do you want to hear it?" Someone asked a charade.
The man asked: "Do you know that Han Qianye has a disciple?"
Someone said angrily: "Who doesn't know about the shitty streets? If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't say it, I'll knock you down. If you keep showing off, I'm going to beat you up."
"Why are you so anxious?" The man waved his hand, took a sip of wine with a smile, and then said slowly: "I heard that Li Xiao's ability to kill Han Qianye with one sword was related to his disciple!"
Someone asked: "What do you mean?"
The man said: "It was his disciple who drugged Han Qianye!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar!
Someone immediately started shouting: "I'm just telling you, how could Li Xiao, a guy I've never heard of, defeat Han Qianye with one sword? It turns out that he colluded with a villain to use this despicable method. It's really shameful!"
Someone was calmer and said: "Who would believe such baseless words?"
The person who revealed the matter said: "Of course there is a basis. When the elder of the Nine Swords Sect found out about the matter and questioned disciple Han Qianye, it was Li Xiao who rescued him. What are the names of this Li Xiao and that one?
Oh...Shi Yu, it doesn't matter? I won't believe it to my death."
After saying this, he added: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Nine Swords Sect for verification. I heard that Shi Yu followed Li Xiao, and now there is no such person in the Nine Swords Sect."
"What an unfed beast! That brat Shi Yu has no talent for practicing swordsmanship at all. Swordsman Han has done a great favor by accepting him as his disciple, but he actually did something worse than a beast. I'm really angry."
!”
Some people were filled with indignation.
"More than that, he is just an ignorant wolf." The man was still adding fuel to the fire. If a careful person pays more attention, he will find that the person who spread the news about Qi Zhen's defeat at the hands of Li Xiao is also
This person.
Shi Yu clenched his fists tightly and made a creaking sound. He was about to stand up, but was held down by Li Xiao on his shoulders.
Li Xiao said indifferently: "Let them go as they say. If you stand up now, you will only be drowned in their spit."
Shi Yu sighed and sat down heavily. The roast chicken on the table was no longer so delicious.
After a while, Li Xiao and Shi Yu left the restaurant.
They still heard some useful things. For example, the only Cave Paradise in Jinpan Kingdom was about to be opened, and everyone in the world could enter and hunt for treasures.
The Jinpan Kingdom has a small territory and can survive only by relying on Daxia. However, it is such a small country and it happens to have the only blessed land in the East Continent - Yuchikou.
Yuchikou is one of the sixteen blessed places in the world. Although it is ranked at the bottom, it is also a real blessed place. Anyone who is lucky will have a good chance.
Li Xiao proposed to take a look, and Shi Yu had no objection. Shi Yu is still too weak now, and he needs various opportunities more than Li Xiao.
Walking on the street, Li Xiao said to Shi Yu: "I went to Yuchikou to visit an old friend. Then you can go hunt for treasures by yourself. I will give you ten days. I will wait for you at the exit for two days. If it is two days later,
If you don't come, I won't wait, and I will be responsible for my life and death."
Shi Yu nodded, hummed, and said nothing.
Li Xiao's wine bag was filled with wine again. He handed the wine bag to Shi Yu and said with a smile: "It's not easy to practice swordplay with me. One of them is to learn to drink."
Shi Yu took the wine and took a sip, then immediately gave it back to Li Xiao and said, "But I have no money now. If I get addicted to alcohol, it will be very difficult if I can't afford the wine."
Li Xiao tapped Shi Yu on the forehead and said with a smile: "Money is the easiest to come by."
Shi Yu said contemptuously: "Then why do you have no money?"
Li Xiao suddenly smiled cunningly and said to Shi Yu, "I'll make money for you right now."
Shi Yu was puzzled. Li Xiao didn't explain, so he picked him up and turned into an alley.
In the alley, there was a slovenly man with a goatee squatting in the corner, with a smile on his face. He was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and when he shook it, a crashing sound was heard.
Goatee untied the cloth bag, put his hand in, took out a piece of broken silver, held it in front of his eyes to look at it in the moonlight, put it to his mouth and took a bite, and then put it into the cloth bag with satisfaction.
This bag contains a hundred taels, and Goatee is smiling happily. This money will be enough for him to spend for a long time.
Suddenly, a mellow middle-aged voice came from the side: "A lot of money, this brother is really rich."
Goatee said without thinking: "Yes, this money is enough for me to drink for half a year..."
At this time, Goatee realized something was wrong, immediately picked up the money bag and retreated hastily, watching the incoming person warily.
They are a middle-aged man in black robe and a young man in white.
Goatee protected the money bag by his side and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shi Yu recognized Goatee at a glance. He was the man who spread the rumors in the restaurant!
Li Xiao looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't steal it, you can hand it over yourself."
Goatee immediately became angry and asked: "Why?"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't know who I am?"
Goatee said: "I don't care who you are, even if the King of Heaven is here today, don't even think about taking money from me!"
Li Xiao snorted coldly: "I am Li Xiao!"
Of course Goatee didn't believe it, and sneered: "I'm still Li Xiao's father, even if Li Xiao's grandpa comes, it won't be easy..."
But he quickly shut up because Li Xiao's sword was already on his neck.
Goatee broke into a cold sweat, it was so fast that he didn't even react.
Goatee asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really Li Xiao?"
Li Xiao said: "Do you believe it now?"
Goatee glanced at Shi Yu next to him, nodded hurriedly, and begged for mercy: "Master Li, I have an old man above me and a young man below me..."
"Hold it back!"
Li Xiao glared and Goatee immediately shut up.
Li Xiao said: "Tell me, who told you what was said in the restaurant?"
Goatee didn't dare to hide anything, and said clearly: "It's a man in black robe wearing a bamboo hat and a mask. You can't tell his appearance. He is very powerful. He gave me a slap in the face as soon as he met me, and then gave me a
Bag of money, tell me what was said in the restaurant and let me spread it, or you will kill me."
After saying that, he immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Li, please spare me this time. I was forced to do this. If you don't do this, I will die."
Li Xiao said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will come to your door?"
Goatee was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head. He said, "I didn't know you were in town, Mr. Li. If I knew, I wouldn't do this even to death."
Li Xiao said coldly: "You feel at ease when I'm not in town? Anyway, I don't know it was you who said that, right?"
Li Xiao looked at Goatee.
Beads of sweat oozed from Goatee's forehead, and he shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
Li Xiao said indifferently: "But you have already said it."
Goatee didn't dare to express his anger. Just when he thought he was going to die, Li Xiao suddenly picked up the money bag on the ground, grabbed it in his hand, weighed it, and said: "If the money belongs to me, I will buy your life."
"
After that, he turned around and left with Shi Yu.
Goatee breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he stood up, he saw a flash of cold light. A sword pierced his heart.
"You..." Blood spilled from the corner of Goatee's mouth and he fell straight down.
Before he died, he only heard the man in black robe say: "I promised to let you go, but my sword didn't agree."
The moment Goatee fell to the ground, a black shadow flashed across the roof.
Li Xiao rushed to the goatee, pulled out his sword, stepped on the wall and jumped onto the house, chasing the black figure.
Shi Yu also hurriedly caught up.
Li Xiao stretched out his sword, like a rainbow, and struck down the black shadow with one strike.
When Shi Yu arrived, Li Xiao was squatting on the ground.
There was a black robe on the ground, and Li Xiao's sword was stuck in the robe.
Li Xiao stood up, drew his sword and put it into its sheath. He said to Shi Yu: "Let him escape."
Shi Yu frowned. Anyone who could escape from Li Xiao's sword must not be an ordinary person.
Li Xiao patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
After the two of them walked away, a person came out of the corner. The man was wearing a bamboo hat and covering his arm with one hand. He looked at the direction Li Xiao and Shi Yu left and murmured: "As expected, you can defeat Han Qianye."
People are not simple." This chapter has been completed!
