Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 69 68. The final plan to enter Lingzhou

Relying on Zhu Danchen, a think tank, the group finally had a solution.Li Xiaoyao felt that he was no longer like a headless fly, and was very happy in his heart. He chatted and laughed with Mu Wanqing and others, and rode horses side by side.Gao Shengtai, Zhu Danchen and others are all outstanding people. They chatted with Li Xiaoyao along the way, and saw that his conversation was interesting, his knowledge was extensive, and he didn't care about his family status.

As for Mu Wanqing, her heart is completely tied to Duan Yu, and when Li Xiaoyao mentioned that Duan Yu beat Jiumozhi in front of the Shaolin Temple and ran away with his head in his arms, he focused all his attention and couldn't take his eyes off it.When Li Xiaoyao talked about other things, he lowered his head and lost his mind.Boss Wu followed Li Xiaoyao closely, observed repeatedly, and finally stopped worrying.

A group of people walked seven or eight li, and suddenly there were rivers and lakes returning along the road.It was seen that almost all of these returning Jianghu travelers were injured, what's more, two people with broken hands and legs were carried back.Gao Shengtai and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other with great curiosity.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Boss Wu stretched out his hand to stop a quack with a bruised nose and swollen face, and asked, "Brother, what's going on ahead?"

The Jianghu guest saw that they were numerous and powerful, Mu Wanqing and the others looked human, and Cave Master Chen, the Xiong brothers and their arrangements were all fierce and fierce, staring at him with their bloody mouths wide open.So the face that was originally full of anger was crowded with a smile in a panic.

He racked his brains to compose words and sentences, politely, and said in a gentle manner: "So that Xixia will know that we are all good sons who have passed the Xixia Emperor's List and went to Lingzhou to choose a son-in-law. There are strong men on the mountain road, blocking the only way to Lingzhou, we are all educated and reasonable people, we can't compete with that group of strong men, so we have to take a detour."

Li Xiaoyao looked at the dark-skinned "Liangjiazi" with a sharp knife hanging from his waist, the "gentleman" with thick hands and scars on his face, and asked curiously: "Brother is not weak in martial arts, and he is not an opponent?"

All the quacks knew these few polite words, now Li Xiaoyao asked him carefully, he didn't know how to answer politely, so he could only answer with his usual slang words.Now it's much easier to speak.He quickly replied: "The phoenix flies in the sky, its claws are hard, and the three horses have beards standing side by side, and the ground is full of rice."

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback for a while, and Dongzhu Chen, who was standing beside him, quickly approached his ear, and said softly: "Young master, 'Phoenix flies in the sky' means that the other party is not a local, and 'the idea is hard and the claws are hard' means The opponent's skills are very hard. This "horse three bearded side by side" means that the leaders of the three nearby horse bandits joined forces, and the result is "the ground is full of rice", which means that all three of them died. These are horse bandits in the northwest Common slang."

Li Xiaoyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he looked at the quack and said, "My good fellow, a gentle man like Your Excellency dares to go to Lingzhou to choose a son-in-law?" .”

Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed, and waved his hand, asking Boss Wu to give him a piece of silver and let him go.Turning to Gao Shengtai, he said, "Brother Gao, let's go up and see the excitement?" Gao Shengtai laughed, raised his hand and said, "Mr. Li, please." Li Xiaoyao laughed and said, "We are all 'Phoenix Flying to the Sky' ', same please, same please."

Everyone galloped on their horses, and as they saw along the road, more and more quacks returned with injuries.After walking another two or three miles, I saw a steep mountain path, a mountain path that can only accommodate one rider winds upwards, and after only a few turns, I saw a dark crowd of people gathered together.

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly took out a bag of peanuts from Wu Laoda's backpack, drove the horse to catch up, and stood aside to watch.I saw two big men, both more than six feet tall, extremely burly, one holding a big iron pestle, the other carrying a copper hammer in each hand, standing side by side in the middle of the mountain path.The mountain road was already narrow, and after the two strong men stopped, no one else could pass through.

There are still more than [-] quacks gathered in front of the mountain road at this moment, they are either intimidating, or luring, or talking eloquently, or drawing their swords to press each other.The two big men still couldn't shake a bit.He just kept saying: "Prince Zongzan of the Tubo Kingdom has an order: this gate will be closed for ten days, and it will not be opened until the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, women are no more than men, monks are more than vulgar, old are too young, and death Can't get by! This is called 'Four over four'."

Someone on the side shouted: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the son-in-law of the Western Xia Kingdom will belong to someone else. What are we going to do? This road is not yours, so why is it so unreasonable!" The two big men shook their weapons lightly. , smiled contemptuously, and said: "My prince is the truth, and what I hold in my hand is the truth!"

When everyone heard the words, they glared angrily, but they didn't dare to make a move, because many good fighters stepped forward, some were killed or injured, but these two big men didn't even break a piece of oily skin.Those who are still here at this time are all heroes who know the current affairs, how could they fight this barbarian and lose their identity for nothing.

Li Xiaoyao distributed the peanuts in his hands to everyone, and everyone ate them with gusto. Mu Wanqing said impatiently, "Why are these people so pussy? Either kill those two, and just rush over. If you can't beat them, then turn back earlier. It's really ugly to stay here and yell."

Li Xiaoyao peeled a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't know. They are planning to take advantage of it. They are just waiting for someone to break through this mountain road so that they can follow behind. In the past." His voice was not loud, but he didn't deliberately lower it.When many Junjie heard this, they turned their heads and glared at him.

Among the Xiong brothers, Xiong Er opened his mouth wide, revealing his white teeth.He shouted: "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen someone eat peanuts?" Those handsome men hurriedly turned their heads, and calmly went to reason with the two big men on the mountain road.

Everyone stood in a stalemate on the mountain road for a while, a swordsman couldn't bear it any longer, rushed forward, drew his sword and slashed. The opponent rolled on the spot, using the knife-crossing technique all the way, rolling forward and backward on the ground, turning left and right, and the steel knife rolled up a ball of white light, covering the lower body of the big man inside.

Seeing his magnificent swordsmanship, all the outstanding men on the side applauded loudly, and some of them even sneered at the big man.The big man smiled coldly, and slammed down the big iron rod in his hand.Just hearing the sound of "collapse", the swordsman's steel knife on the ground immediately shattered, and the swordsman screamed miserably, trying to escape back.

The big man is about to look like a baby, how can he escape with his life?Take a step forward, this is a big step, and you will catch up with the swordsman in an instant.The swordsman shouted: "Surrender, I surrender." The big man smiled cruelly, and stomped his foot down. Seeing that the swordsman was about to die on the spot, suddenly his knee numb slightly, and his whole leg The upper strength then stagnated and then slowed down.The swordsman hurried away in embarrassment, although his face was covered with blood, he finally escaped with his life.He didn't even dare to turn his head, and fled down the mountain like a gust of wind.

The big man looked down and saw a peanut rolling slightly on the ground.He looked around, watching Li Xiaoyao and others eating peanuts, talking and laughing.He roared angrily, "Who is it? Dare to sneak attack Grandpa?" When he spoke like this, he naturally had that grumpy dissatisfaction.A burly man in the crowd jumped off his horse, bowed to Li Xiaoyao, clasped his fists, and said in a low voice, "Young master, this person has spoken disrespectfully to you, please allow me to let Xiong Da go and finish him off."

Li Xiaoyao said: "My face can't be lost with just a few words like this." Da Xiong just begged hard, he was simple and honest, with a clumsy mouth, he grabbed his younger brother, and Xiong Er and Xiong Da He is also a six-foot tall man of average stature, but at the moment when his brother casually grabs him, he is like a little chicken, without any strength to struggle.With a bitter face, he said to Li Xiaoyao: "Young master, thanks to your great mercy, my brother and I gave the 'Life and Death Talisman' antidote, and reduced our annual offerings. Finally, a year of peace has passed. My brother I have been stubborn and unable to repay the young master's kindness. The last time I searched for Uncle Xiao, our brothers were far away, and it was Cave Master Chen who contributed a lot. Now if the Xiong family brothers see someone insulting you, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb. If you play a shrinking turtle, is it still worthy of living?"

Li Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "Okay, Xiong Da Xiong Er, this person is practicing the XZ esoteric Dharma protection magic, called 'Dragon Elephant Prajna', which is infinitely powerful, tyrannical, and domineering. Don't underestimate the enemy. Let's make it easy After a few days of comfortable life, you have to live well. You are not allowed to work hard, and you will come back if you can't beat it."

The Xiong family brothers bowed to salute, and took off the weapons from the horse, which turned out to be two wrought copper rods that were as thick as bowls.The two of them, holding wrought copper rods, stepped forward and stood in front of the two strong men.

These four people are all huge men with a height of six feet and a waist circumference of six feet, and their faces are ugly and fierce. Standing together at this moment, even if the face of a bull's head and horse face is coming, they have to walk around the road.Everyone at the side suddenly felt that they were handsome, unrestrained and elegant. If they could go to Lingzhou with these four people to choose a son-in-law, there would be no suspense that the prize would go to their own family.

The big man holding the iron pestle frowned and said: "You want to..." Before he finished speaking, Xiong Da smashed down the cooked copper rod on his head.The big man was furious, he didn't try to dodge it, he raised the iron rod, and struck at it. Both of them were hard horses, and their moves remained unchanged. Under the clash of weapons, there was only a muffled sound of thunder resounding in the mountains. , the people on the side quickly covered their ears and backed away.

Under Xiong Da's blow, he was evenly matched with the big man. He looked down at the cooked copper rod in his hand, and said in a muffled voice, "Come again." Another blow was thrown at it without any tricks.The big man didn't have time to speak, so he had to raise his iron rod to meet him.The two of them "Dang, Dang, Dang" hit each other more than ten times in a row, but their tiger's mouth burst open and they fell to the ground.

Seeing the big Tubo man holding a pair of copper hammers on the mountain road, he hurried forward. Xiong Er was afraid that he would take advantage of others, so he hurried up too. The two of them also fought with ordinary weapons, but their skills were weaker. After only hitting each other seven or eight times, their limbs became sore and limp, and they slumped on the ground, unable to fight any more.

There was a wise man at the side, who raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go!" The group of outstanding men hurriedly rushed up and walked past the four of them. After being glared at by the two of them viciously, his legs were so frightened that he almost fell off the mountain path and fell into the cliff.When the others saw it, they gave up one after another and just walked quickly. After a while, the group of heroes crossed the mountain road and dispersed.

Li Xiaoyao asked Boss Wu and Dongzhu Chen to help the Xiong brothers up. He put his palms on the backs of the Xiong brothers, and slowly sent in his internal energy, which healed the internal injuries suffered by the two viscera due to the shock.

Just about to get on the horse, Xiong Da fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly.Li Xiaoyao didn't understand, so Xiong Er hurriedly knelt down and said to Li Xiaoyao: "Young master, my brother wants to beg the young master..." He glanced at his brother, his heart swelled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "... I beg the young master..." The Lord also saved those two Tubo barbarians."

Li Xiao helped the two of them up, and said with a smile, "Our own brothers, don't do such silly things. This is not a big deal."

He usually healed the internal injuries of the two Tubo men, and then Shi Shi ran across the mountain road.

Along the way, everyone kept seeing that many warriors of Xixia's "Yipintang" were fighting with the subordinates sent by the Tubo prince to intercept and kill the suitors. 'Samurai, beat off the subordinates of the Tubo prince.Guarding a large group of people to try their luck, all kinds of people who chose the son-in-law entered Lingzhou.

After a few days, they finally entered Lingzhou City before the August Mid-Autumn Festival.At this time, the city of Lingzhou was already overcrowded, and the major inns and post houses were full of talented people from all walks of life who came to choose a son-in-law.Mu Wanqing didn't want to be crowded with strangers, so Gao Shengtai proposed to go out of the city to find a temple to stay temporarily. Li Xiaoyao was startled and thought: It would be very bad if there was a dry well in that dilapidated temple. I couldn't find a combination of beautiful women, licking dogs and Tibetan monks, and stuffed them into the well.

As soon as he waved his hand, he said generously, "Sister, there is no need to wrong yourself like this. Second brother, I still have many friends in Lingzhou City. There is even one of them, whom I nicknamed 'Timely Rain' ,'Sai Mengchang'. He is the most generous and hospitable. If he knows that we have gone, I am afraid that he will happily shout "God."
