"Brother Lu, as soon as I saw you back then, I knew you were someone who would do great things. In three years, you have become the number one fastest swordsman. You really make us brothers proud. As a brother, I respect you.
.”
In the tavern, Lao Diao toasted Lu Xiao with wine. Although he regarded himself as his elder brother, the gesture of toasting was actually a bit low. The other bandits didn't know, but Lao Diao had a clear mind. He and Lu Xiao
Strictly speaking, Xiao was a bit over-the-top. After all, he almost chopped off Lu Xiao's head.
Later on the night when the name certificate was handed over, he was also targeting Lu Xiao.
Although he is still ranked above Lu Xiao now, Lao Diao has begun to feel a little weak when facing Lu Xiao. The main reason for this is that Lu Xiao is too young.
Although he doesn't know his exact age, Lu Xiao is only eighteen or nineteen years old now. His physical fitness is still on the rise. Looking back at himself, although it can't be seen on the surface, he has been drinking and having fun all day long, and he is already a little weak in his bones.
Most of the sword skills of these horse thieves are based on their skills before they became horse thieves. Except for Lu Xiao, no one can practice hard day and night and continue to improve after becoming a horse thieves. Even if there are such people. As the saying goes, boxing is afraid of young strength.
, sword skills are actually the same. Youth itself is the biggest advantage.
In his early years, Lao Diao was a qualified horse bandit. He killed people without batting an eyelid, and he was also the kind of man who was not afraid of death. But after following Feilong, he did not miss a beat for several consecutive years. Instead, he gradually began to cherish his life. At this time, you let
He would never dare to risk his life with Lu Xiao. Not to mention that Lu Xiao was Feilong's favorite person, and he could even be regarded as a half-disciple. No matter from what aspect, Lao Diao was ready to say hello.
If Lu Xiao comes to power in the future and causes trouble for him, many of the horse bandits behind him will be eyeing his position.
Lu Xiao raised his eyelids and looked at the wine in Lao Diao's hand without responding. He never drank, and Feilong couldn't make him make an exception, let alone Lao Diao.
Lao Diao suddenly remembered this question and felt a little embarrassed. It was neither holding the bowl of wine nor putting it down. Fortunately, Lu Xiao finally gave him some response.
Lu Xiao raised his hand and gently hooked his fingers at the woman in his arms. Lao Diao immediately understood and pushed the woman in his arms towards Lu Xiao.
"Serve my brother well, or I will skin you."
Lu Xiao's attitude was very bad. But he knew that this group of horse bandits followed this style. If you politely told Lao Diao that you don't care, let it go. Then they would look down on you. Lu Xiao robbed Lao Diao.
Diao's woman gave Lao Diao a signal that the matter was over.
"Brother, you had fun. Let's go." With that, Lao Diao asked the others to leave, leaving the room to Lu Xiao.
After everyone left, Lu Xiao sighed softly. He lifted the girl in his arms up and looked at her face clearly under the candlelight.
Lu Xiao actually didn't recognize her face, but he recognized those eyes. The girl was young, a little younger than Lu Xiao. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked at Lu Xiao, with a kind of expression in her eyes.
Complex emotions.
Lu Xiao also didn't speak, and just put her on the bed to rest. Then he lay directly on the floor and started to sleep.
He knew that the girl had a knife on her body, but he didn't care. He even had a desire in his heart that the girl would kill him while he was sleeping. However, until daybreak, the girl did not do anything. She even gave him a shot.
Let him wash his face with water.
Lu Xiao washed his face, gave the girl a handful of coins, and then turned around and left. From beginning to end, neither of them said a word.
There was some noise on the street. Lu Xiao went out and saw that there was a fight going on outside. One of them was a tall monk, and the other group of people were a group of hunters.
Lu Xiao knew about that group of people. They had a pasture in the woods not far from the town. They raised pigs and sheep there. This group of guys was very united and they were famous bullies of this generation. They were domineering and engaged in forced buying and selling.
Not much different from a horse bandit.
The tall monk Fan was very good at martial arts. He beat the hunters with three punches and two kicks and scattered them in all directions. But Lu Xiao knew that those hunters would not give up. These people were determined to retaliate, and there was absolutely no way they could just let the hunter go.
of.
Looking at the hunters fleeing in all directions, Lu Xiao thought for a moment and stepped forward. He blocked the escape path of several hunters.
The hunter, who was running away with his head covered, didn't pay attention and bumped into Lu Xiao's body.
"Get out of the way, don't block the road." The man didn't even look, he picked up the knife in his hand and cut. But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a weakness in his front body. Before he realized what happened, he felt the world spinning, and then
His vision went dark and he completely lost consciousness.
Several escaping hunters were also startled. Although the monk was powerful, he kept his hands in the fight, so they were not that scared. This one was different, this one could kill people.
Lu Xiao wiped the knife on the corpse's clothes, then looked up at the other two hunters. The other hunters swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned around and ran away without even saying harsh words.
Lu Xiao raised his head and looked into the distance. Several hunters were looking at Lu Xiao with hatred. But when he saw Lu Xiao looking over, he immediately lowered his head and turned around and ran away.
Lu Xiao had no intention of forcing his way forward, but he had seen the movie. That monk might be the only good guy in the movie. Lu Xiao was in hell and couldn't save himself, let alone save others. But this time he took action,
At least it can draw the attention of those hunters to him, reducing the possibility of them taking immediate revenge on the monk.
This is the only thing Lu Xiao can do.
On the other side of the market, two other people also saw that scene in the market. Those two people were the two male protagonists in the story, Ding'an and Tietou, disciples of the Lianfeng Knife Factory.
When the two saw the monk fighting with the group of hunters, they were originally ready to help. However, before they could take action, Lu Xiao jumped in to help. Moreover, one of the gang lost their lives, ending the fight.
"That man has such a fast knife!" Tietou sighed at the side.
The disciples of Lianfenghao have all learned some sword skills to some extent. Ding'an and Tietou are the best among them, and their skills are pretty good. But when they saw Lu Xiao's sword, they instantly understood the gap between them.
.There is no need to compete at all. With that knife, neither of them can catch it.
Tietou was always impulsive and admired this chivalrous style. He even wanted to catch up with Lu Xiao and make friends. Fortunately, Ding'an caught him in time because he discovered that Lu Xiao was not alone and was accompanied by two vicious followers.
His posture was not like that of a heroic hero, but more like that of a tyrannical bully.
Of course, it is actually more serious than a bully. Lu Xiao is now a real horse bandit.
