Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 16 Conflict
"Little Er, Xiao Er, hurry up, get some food, feed the man's horses, prepare six rooms, we want to stay in the hotel." Inside the Peng Yue Inn, a group of men who were soaked and embarrassed pushed the door and entered. , shouted one of the five-and-three-thick bearded men.

"Okay, you'll be later." The shopkeeper couldn't help smiling when he saw that so many people were going to live in the shop, and quickly ordered his men to take the horses outside to the backyard, while he came to the front of the crowd.
"Guest officer, what kind of food do you want? The steamed sea bass and braised pig's trotters in our shop are all outstanding. There is also a signature dish, black-bone chicken and white phoenix, which are guaranteed to be refreshing."

"Okay, look at it!" The bearded man waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and iron some pots of warm wine."

"Okay, I'll be there soon." The store owner responded and ordered the staff to prepare to go. How could he not see that, these people are all green forests running around in the rivers and lakes, such big and rough, but good fat sheep .

This group of people was naturally Tangning's group. It had been more than a month since they left the caravan.In the past few days, it has been raining heavily and the land is remote. Everyone had to spend the night in the ruined temple they passed by. Fortunately, they finally came to the town today, found the inn, and finally got a good night's sleep.

"Hey! This ghost weather is really cold to death." One complained
"Palace Master Wood, how far is it to Ningping Town?" Tangning asked, shaking off the water marks on her sleeves.

Ningping Town is the junction of Wu and Chu, and their destination for this trip is there.

"At this rate, it will be there in ten days."

"Innkeeper, prepare the guest room." A loud voice came from outside, and then a group of seven or eight walked in. Just like Tangning and the others, they were all thoroughly confused and embarrassed.

"Dare to ask a few guest officials, how many rooms are needed." The store owner greeted him and asked.
"Nonsense, haven't you seen the seven of us? Of course there are seven." A man said rudely
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "But the shop only has four rooms. A few guest officers over there just asked for six rooms. Why don't you feel wronged and squeeze a little?"

"We'll pay double to make seven rooms for us first."

"Then, I will discuss with those guest officials to see if they are willing to give up the room."

The store owner walked up to Tangning and the others, "Masters, those customer officers need seven rooms. Can you give up three?"

Before he could speak, everyone had already heard, Li Jinmian said: "The store owner, you don't know anything, you open the door to do business, there must be a first come, first come first! We come first, and there are so many people, how can we Give them the room."

Before the shopkeeper could answer, a young man in brocade walked out of the pedestrians and bowed his hands to everyone: "This friend, next to Mu Pingbo of the Four Seasons Villa, was ordered by my father to come here for an important matter, now it's too late today, The heavy rain has not stopped, there is only one inn in a radius of several miles, please give me some thin noodles, Mu Mou is very grateful, and the food and accommodation of several people are counted on us."

The Four Seasons Villa is known to everyone in the state of Chu. It specializes in forging weapons. Almost all the magic weapons that can be famous on the rivers and lakes are from the hands of the Four Seasons Villa. The owner of the villa, Mu Chaobo, is one of the four great masters of the Chu state. Known as the Heart of Stone.

Although Mu Pingbo's words were humble, his expression was very arrogant, and he looked down at everyone from above.
"It turned out to be the young owner of the Four Seasons Villa, and I am a disciple of the caravan." Mu Jinmian stood up and saluted him, but looked at Tangning.

He was just assisting Tangning. Of course, Tangning was in charge of this kind of thing, and he didn't want to offend Mu Pingbo. If there was any friction, he couldn't explain it, so it would be more appropriate to leave it to Tangning.

"Master Mu also saw it. The twelve of us only need six rooms. If we give up three rooms, it's really not enough to live in. Please forgive me," Tangning said.
Mu Pingbo frowned.

"What are you? You are shameless. Our young master has already spoken, so you can't let him go." The big man behind Mu Pingbo saw his displeasure, shouted loudly, and passed Mu Pingbo's thick big hand into an eagle. Claw-like claws grabbed Tang Ning, the speed was so fast that there was a faint breeze.

The sound of opening the door kept ringing, and when the disciples of the caravan saw that this person disagreed, they were about to make a move. From the beginning, it is clearly the phase of the iron claw's great success.

Tangning didn't move, her sword was unsheathed.

There was no sound of swords clashing, nor the sound of tables and chairs colliding. The hall fell silent instantly, and even a few caravan disciples kept their swords drawn.

The big man was only one step away from Tangning, his hands were like eagle claws and he didn't move. In front of him was an iron sword that seemed to be worn out, only three inches away from his eyebrows.

Cold sweat spilled from his forehead and dripped down his cheeks, he could almost hear the slight sound of sweat dripping to the ground

Everything happened between lightning and flint, from his shot to the confrontation formed now

The weather in the past few days has been really bad, and even his mood was very annoyed, so after hearing the disrespectful tone of the boy in front of him, he couldn't help but take action, trying to dispel the annoyance that had been weighing on his heart these days, even though he had touched him before. He had done this in similar situations, but this time he really wanted to teach these younger generations a lesson.

As a well-known Jianghu player who has been famous for many years, he understands that this time he has encountered a hard problem.

A drop of bright red blood flowed down from his forehead, and the uncontrollable and overflowing sword energy cut his skin.

He was a little scared at once, if he hadn't instinctively stopped his figure just now, he might be decapitated now.

Under the shocked expressions of everyone, Tangning retracted the sword into its scabbard. He didn't want to cause trouble and get involved in these useless battles of right and wrong. More importantly, he didn't want to kill in vain.

"Presumptuous." The brocade-clothed youth shouted

The big man hurried back behind him, only to realize that cold sweat had soaked his back.

"The subordinates are not strict, and this banker has offended everyone with his recklessness. I hope you will not be offended. I will punish you severely in the future."

"Master Mu, we can't vacate the room, so please find another way," Tangning said.
"Dare to ask this brother's name." Mu Pingbo clasped his fist at him and said.

"I'm going down to Tangning."

"Thank you Brother Tang for being merciful. I ran into Brother Tang just now. I'm really sorry. We should find another inn and leave." Mu Pingbo turned around and led everyone away.

"Hey, why are you looking at me? Sit down! Eat something, get a good night's sleep, and hurry up." Tangning looked up and found that everyone was staring at her.

Only then did everyone realize their gaffe and sat down one after another, but they looked at him with a little more awe than before.

Originally, everyone was very dissatisfied with Tangning's director, thinking that the assistant director was crony, but he didn't show anything special along the way. The most common thing he said was how long it would take to get to Ningping.

But the sword just now really startled everyone. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, the sword energy shot out in a vertical and horizontal manner, as fast as lightning, and the strength of this sword alone has stabilized everyone.

"Guests, this shop is a small business, and all it earns is hard-earned money. Please be merciful!" The shopkeeper said cautiously with the dishes.

He saw everything in his eyes just now. He didn't think that the two groups of people would meet with swords when they disagreed. Fortunately, there was no fight. Otherwise, how could his small shop be able to withstand the toss. As for the "slaughter" meal he originally thought But no longer dared to think.

"Don't worry, you won't lose your money."

"That's good, that's good, everyone, eat slowly. The room is upstairs and has been cleaned up."

After everyone had eaten, they went upstairs to rest when they were full. Gu Chengqian and Tangning shared a room.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Chengqian said excitedly, "Wow, Tangning. You were so powerful just now. I didn't even see how you did it. Didn't you notice? They all sneaked in while they were eating. What about you! They were so dissatisfied with us before, and they said that the gang leader did things unfairly, but now it’s all right, and no one will dare to say that again.

Tangning smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that that person was too careless. If he was on guard, I wouldn't be able to stop him so easily."

.........

Mu Pingbo tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and his mind was quite restless. The scene in the Pengyue Inn kept disturbing his mind. The caravan sent such a master over here, making him wonder if the news was leaked. It wasn't because he was suspicious, it was just an incident. The key is very important, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise the entire Four Seasons Villa will be wiped out.

Da da da, the sound of knocking on the door came intermittently, he opened the door, and outside stood an old man with white beard and blue shirt.

"Master uncle." Mu Pingbo bowed respectfully.

"Master asked me to come here, but what's the matter?" the old man asked

"Uncle Shicai has seen it, this man named Tangning has such a high level of swordsmanship, but I have never heard of this person before. It's all too coincidental to appear here at this time. I'm worried if the caravan got it. News? Do you want to tell my father."

"Young master is too much." The old man smiled and said: "If the news is really leaked, I am afraid it will be Cui Yilin. Although the young man's swordsmanship is high, but his sword energy has not yet reached the state of perfection, he can't take it freely, according to the old man. Look, the young master's skill is no longer inferior to that, and he can endure the temper for a while and avoid the edge for a while. If the master knows, he will certainly feel relieved.

Mu Pingbo smiled bitterly and said, "Am I so playful in my uncle's eyes? Although I'm a little arrogant, that's all in the past, and of course I have to take the bigger picture as the top priority for such a big event."

"It seems that the hardships of the young master in recent years have not been in vain. The young master was indeed too arrogant in the past. Otherwise, the master would not be willing to take you to the land of Mobei to suffer from the pain of refining your heart and bones. He is pinning all his hopes on you, and only hopes that the young master can escape from the world and become immortal, and accomplish what the master has wanted to do all his life but has not done."

"I know, uncle. In fact, I have seen those immortals flying in the sky once in Mobei, and I also understand that everything in the mortal world is just a handful of loess to them, no matter whether it is a high-ranking person. The princes are still self-pity pawns, in their eyes, they are all slightly larger ants, and only when they become one of them can they truly control their own destiny.”

"Young master is very smart, but in fact, he has long denied the conjecture that the news was leaked. If you invite the old man to come here, you are just trying to strengthen your heart through the old man's mouth. commonplace."

"Thank you uncle for your pointer."

"Young master, please rest assured! This is the information that the master has worked hard for more than [-] years. Not to mention the caravan, even in the villa, only you and my master know about it. Just now, the old man has sent someone to monitor them. "

"Teacher is troubled."

"The old man has been in the villa for more than [-] years, and the young master can be regarded as the old man who has grown up since he was a child. The old man will rely on the old man to say a few more words. If this matter goes well, the young master will enter the fairy gate and ask the young master to restrain his arrogant temperament. That's what worries the master the most. After all, the master can still take care of you in this world, but when you go to the Xianjia place, everything depends on the master himself. The so-called arrogance does not bring any real benefits, but will make things fail. Even if there is more than one thing to do, those who are really capable will face like a lake even if they are shocked by thunder."

"My little nephew remembered it."
