Liu Xin asked coldly: "Another competition? What competition?"
Zhu Ying pointed to the other side of the square with her hand and said, "Go up to Daoshan!"
Zhu Ying had already been completely defeated in the match just now. Even if he won another match, everyone would just be tied. But Meng Huo whispered a few words in his ear. In his opinion, the Han people would never dare to compete with him on the Mountain of Swords.
, as long as Liu Xin abstains, then Zhu Ying will have the upper hand.
Last night, Liu Xin asked about it. There will be two competitions today, climbing the bamboo pole and climbing the Dao Mountain. He also understood the rules. Climbing the Dao Mountain is easier than climbing the bamboo pole. Whoever climbs faster will get to the top first.
Whoever gets the colorful ball will win. It turns out that Liu Xin came with the attitude of being a spectator, but he didn't know that he met Feng Yingying, a reckless girl, and was forced to appear. He had no idea about going up to Daoshan, so he climbed the mountain.
I put a lot of thought into this part of the bamboo pole. If I win one game, it will be enough to save my face. Who knows that Zhu Ying will not give up.
Liu Xin looked in the direction of Zhu Ying's finger. A square high platform was built there. The big red ribbon under the colored balls on the top of the high platform was fluttering in the wind. The high platform was made of bamboo poles, with a level between the two long bamboo poles.
There is a machete tied to the first level. This kind of machete is used daily by the barbarians. The blade has been polished and shines with a frightening cold light in the sun. It is obviously extremely sharp.
Everyone's eyes are looking at Liu Xin. Everyone knows that barbarian men walk barefoot in the mountains all year round, and the soles of their feet have long been worn out with a thick layer of calluses. Even so, this mountain of swords is not something ordinary people dare to walk, let alone
Such a pampered Han Chinese.
Dian Wei refused to let Liu Xin take risks for him anymore, so he took the first step and said, "Brother, you'd better let me go. At worst, I'll leave my two feet here."
Feng Yingying lowered her head and murmured: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't be so brave."
Liu Xin said in a deep voice: "Evil has always been reckless, and you are so impulsive. I really shouldn't have allowed you two to be together. Okay, let's not talk about this now. Let's go over and take a look first."
The crowd of onlookers cheered and rushed to the other side of the square. The barbarian girls passing by Liu Xin all looked at him passionately, making Liu Xin feel uncomfortable. Just at this moment when she walked through the square.
In terms of Kung Fu, Liu Xin had already made up her mind to go up to the Mountain of Swords. She must compete with him. She was so light in Kung Fu, but if she really couldn't go up, she would just pretend to fall down.
Following the sound of the horn, Zhu Ying, Feng Lie, and Meng Huo all climbed up to the top of Daoshan Mountain. Even though there was a thick layer of calluses on the soles of their feet, they still did not dare to be careless and were cautious at every step.
Liu Xin stood under the high platform without moving, and watched quietly for a while, and suddenly felt confident. He roared, threw aside his white robe, and was also topless, and the whole audience let out a "wow" in admiration. Liu Xin
He was handsome and wearing a robe, looking like a white-faced scholar. Now he took off his clothes, revealing his strong muscles, and the eyes of the barbarian girls who were watching shone with light.
Liu Xin took off her shoes and was barefoot. She jumped up more than ten feet from the ground and grabbed the third-level machete with both hands. Liu Xin tapped her feet lightly on the next-level machete.
, the whole body rushed up again, using both hands and feet, he quickly climbed to the top of Daoshan Mountain. This speed was more than twice as fast as Zhu Ying and the others, I am afraid it was more than three or four times. In fact, it was not that Liu Xin wanted to express himself
, there is really no way. He did not climb up one foot at a time like Zhu Ying and others, but held the machete in both hands and stepped on the side of the machete under his feet. Because his speed was too fast, others could not see it for a while.
.If he was slow for even a moment, he would be in danger of being scratched by the knife at any time.
Everyone watched Liu Xin "fly" to the top of the knife mountain at an incredible speed. They saw him stretch out his left hand, grab the red ribbon under the colored ball, put his right hand a little above the machete, and flipped his body upside down in mid-air.
It had already landed lightly on the ground. Liu Xin held the colored ball high in both hands and ran around the high platform. At this time, Zhu Ying and the other three had only climbed halfway, and they all stopped involuntarily. In this kind of competition, there is no other way but to compete for the first place.
Who will compete for second or third place? If the colored balls are gone, what’s the point of continuing to climb up?
Dian Wei looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, shouting: "My eldest brother has won!"
Feng Yingying's heart, which had been pounding wildly just now, calmed down and she leaned against Dian Wei, a strange smile flashing across her face.
Dian Wei asked strangely: "Why do you smile so ugly?"
Feng Yingying pinched him and said: "Whoever smiles ugly, you will know after a while, there will be a good show."
Zhu Ding also slowly recovered from this shocking scene, stood up and said loudly: "This strong man, please come forward and talk!"
As long as he is not charging into battle among thousands of troops, Liu Xin really has nothing to fear in other situations. Over the past six years, he can clearly feel that his kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds. When Zhu Ding called him, he did not hesitate.
Then he stepped forward and said: "I am not a strong man, just a businessman. I wonder what the clan leader's orders are when he is summoned?"
Zhu Ding smiled and said: "In my eyes, it's not an exaggeration to call you a warrior. Don't you know how to call me a warrior?"
Liu Xin cupped her fists and said, "My surname is Liu Mingxin. The title of warrior is even more unworthy. The patriarch can just call me by my given name."
Seeing this, Feng Yuan's expression changed and he looked a little weird, while Meng Dan looked at Liu Xin with a smile on his face. Zhu Ding clapped his hands lightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Liu is quite a cheerful person. We
The three surnames meeting, pole climbing and knife mountain have nothing to do with you Han people. However, since Mr. Liu is participating, we cannot lose our etiquette. Come and show Mr. Liu some tea."
As soon as he finished speaking, a barbarian girl turned around from behind, holding a wooden plate in her hand, with a large bronze bowl inside. The bowl was filled with yellow-brown soup, and she didn't know what kind of tea it was.
There is an intoxicating aroma wafting around.
The girl wore a bright red dress, with many silver ornaments on her head, neck, waist, and hips. She walked with a jingling sound. She slowly came to Liu Xin, raised the tray with both hands, and said: "
Mr. Liu, please have some tea."
This girl was extremely beautiful. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had infinite charm in every glance and smile, and there was a bit of wildness in her charm. Liu Xin looked at the silver jewelry she was wearing and knew that she must be a young lady from a noble family.
At that moment, I didn't dare to neglect, picked up the copper bowl from the tray, said thank you, and drank the bowl of fragrant tea.
But I heard someone shout: "Wait a minute!"
Then they saw two women in Tsing Yi running out of the crowd. Both women's faces were sallow and their figures were even more bloated. They came to Liu Xin and said in unison: "Master, you should be careful about what you eat when you go out.
That's how you can let something of unknown origin be imported casually."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions. Zhu Ding said sternly: "Who are you? Could it be that our Zhu family would add medicine to this tea?"
Liu Xin was also quite surprised. She glared at them and explained to Zhu Ding: "These are Liu's two maids. They made no excuses. Please don't blame the clan leader."
It turned out that Liu Xin was worried that the Linger sisters' extraordinary beauty would fall into the eyes of interested people and cause trouble out of thin air, so she helped them disguise themselves. Originally, Liu Xin wanted them to disguise themselves as men, but the two sisters' chests
They are too plump and cannot be concealed, so they have to be made ugly.
Ling'er ignored Liu Xin's dissatisfaction and continued: "Before leaving the house, my wife told me that we should take good care of the master's food and drink, and nothing should go wrong. As the saying goes, a tiger's heart is harmless to a man.
It’s hurtful. Master, if you want to drink this bowl of tea, you need to let your servant try it.”
The two sisters had traveled with their parents since they were young, and they had always been cautious. After leaving Guiyang, they tried their daily meals with silver hairpins before giving them to Liu Xin, but Liu Xin didn't know.
At this time, Zhu Ying, Meng Huo, and Feng Lie had also stepped forward. Zhu Ying couldn't hold himself back anymore and said to the girl: "Sister, it's okay if he doesn't want to drink this tea. We still care about him."
But the girl remained motionless, just staring closely at the tea bowl in Liu Xin's hand, with sparkling tears in her eyes.
At this moment, Liu Xin knew that the beautiful girl in front of her was Zhu Ding's daughter, but she couldn't push it away any longer. She turned around and said to Sister Ling'er, "It's just a bowl of tea. Just drink it. There's nothing to worry about."
But Xiu'er grabbed Liu Xin's hand and said, "Master, wait a minute, let me try it."
While she was talking, she had already taken out the silver hairpin on her head and inserted it into the tea bowl. In just a moment, the silver hairpin turned from bright white to jet black.
When Liu Xin saw this, his expression also changed. He knew that the ability to turn silver needles black meant that the tea contained a large amount of sulfides. In this era, due to technical limitations, a large amount of sulfides often remained during the production of arsenic.
thing, this means that someone may have put arsenic in this bowl of tea.
Zhu Ding, Meng Dan's expressions also changed greatly, and Fengyuan even broke out in a cold sweat. If Liu Xin hadn't signaled in time, Dian Wei would have rushed up to take action. The girl's originally red and pretty face turned gray in an instant, "Bang
With a bang, the tray in his hand fell to the ground.
Zhu Ying suddenly pointed at Xiu'er and said: "How could there be something wrong with the tea that my sister made with her own hands? It must be the tampering of that cheap maid!"
The girl looked panicked, looked down and saw the silver bracelet on her wrist, and screamed, it turned out that the bracelet had also turned slightly black.
Seven or eight thoughts suddenly flashed through Liu Xin's mind, but he quickly calmed down. His identity should not have been exposed, and Feng Yuan would never dare to harm him. This incident should have happened by chance. I'm afraid it was the same as what he had just done.
It has something to do with being in the limelight. Thinking of this, he snatched the silver hairpin from Xiu'er's hand, stretched it out in front of Zhu Ding, and said, "Chief Zhu, I want to hear what you have to explain."
The alliance between the three surnames is a big event. Zhu Ding, Fengyuan and Meng Dan all attach great importance to it. Liu Xin, as a merchant brought by Fengyuan, can also be regarded as a guest of the Zhu family. When such a thing happens, Zhu Ding only feels shameless.
When he saw this person, he immediately became angry and slapped his daughter in the face, shouting: "Tell me, what is going on?"
