Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 61 60. Fighting
The night is like water, but it is no longer cold. It is May, and the spring is just right.

Yan Niangzi held her man's arm and wandered around on Yinxi Street.

In this busy city, there is a lot of fireworks, and the steaming aroma of meat and wine is puffing out the white mist wave after wave.

Looking up, there are some open-air food stalls in the streets and alleys, most of which sell noodles, wontons and pancakes.

In addition, shouting sounded everywhere.

"Boji gouache, pass by, don't miss it~~"

"Excellent brocade, the most popular pattern in the Yujing court, let's take a look~~"

"Fatty Wang's new signature, roasted goose smoked with fruit wood, served with half a catty of water wine, you can eat it happily and refreshingly."

Lady Yan giggled: "It's really lively, unlike Xiaomofang, where every house closes when it gets dark."

Li Yuan fondled her hair and said, "What do you want to eat? Or do you want to make another dress? It's hot, so I have to change into a skirt."

Yan Niangzi smiled and said: "I invite you to eat the drink, the new cherry drink, you must have no idea where we can eat it."

"Okay, wait for you to give me a surprise." Li Yuan smiled.

Soon, the two came to an elegant pavilion.

"Full Moon Tea House" is written on the plaque.

In the building, there are some little girls holding tea trays in their hands, moving around, serving tea to the guests as if they are dancing.

There was also a pretty girl at the front desk. This girl obviously knew Yan Yu. When her eyes met, her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Sister Yan, the proprietress is waiting for you upstairs."

Lady Yan responded with a smile, and then took Li Yuan upstairs.

Upstairs, in the private room, a long-legged beautiful woman covered in snow-white gauze and a scarlet bottom skirt was playing with a teacup. When she saw the two of them, she stood up and saluted gracefully.

Li Yuan also returned the gift.

This beautiful woman is the proprietress of Hengwu Restaurant, she is an old acquaintance.

It is indeed wrong for a woman to go out alone at night, but widows are an exception.

The proprietress of this Hengwu restaurant is a widow.

"Sister Xue." Lady Yan ran over to hold the proprietress's arm.

Yan Niangzi is petite and exquisite, but the proprietress is quite tall. If beauties are compared to flowers, they are two different kinds of flowers.

The proprietress glanced at Li Yuan with a smile, and said with a smile, "I dare not."

Li Yuandao: "You call yourself."

Lady Yan ran back again, pulled Li Yuan to sit down, and then the proprietress mixed three cups of drinks and asked someone to serve some candied fruit.

The window was open, the moon was bright outside the window, and the river of stars entered the water, making the night much quieter.

Li Yuan grabbed the drink and drank it, feeling like drinking fruit tea in a milk tea shop in his previous life, so he said with a smile: "Sister Yan said she would give me a surprise, and this drink is indeed a surprise."

Yan Yudao: "It's not just this, the Full Moon Tea Pavilion was opened by sister Xue and I together."

Li Yuan was stunned.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Master Li, you are a famous person.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and I want to do some business safely under the shade of you.

In addition, Sister Yan and I have similar personalities, and we can always chat together, so we opened this store together.

The money we make, we split half and half."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Where is the proprietress from?"

"Liang Longshan was attacked by pirates, so he fled here with his husband's family.

The husband's family was weak and left soon, leaving some money and loyal servants, and the concubine opened a restaurant on her own.

Here, the concubine usually pays regular money to Lord Wu, and she still has to pay in the future.

If there is a change of person, it will be handed over to the new adult to have a private friendship, but the concubine and Master Wu have nothing at all, and there should be no relationship with the new adult in the future.

The concubine is a woman, how can I have friendship with those adults, the concubine knows it well, but the concubine does not want to. "

The proprietress drooped her eyelashes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I look pretty good, but after all, I'm just a woman. Who can know the suffering in my heart?"

The proprietress seemed to be stuck in a certain memory, and said: "Coincidentally, I have a certain fate with Master Xiao Li. We met before we became rich, and we have such a fate with Lady Yan, so I want to rely on you, Master Li."

As she spoke, she raised her chin and raised her head and said, "Speaking of which, Master Li is only eighteen this year, but his concubine is already 23. If Master Li wants to become a concubine, it's really not a loss for me to be a concubine."

Afterwards, she glanced at Mrs. Yan, and the two girls giggled and laughed together. It was obvious that they were very close on weekdays, and they talked about it a lot, and they didn't taboo about it.

Li Yuandao: "But soon, I will have a ring fight with Zhao Zimu. He is a genius with swords in Changqing Martial Arts, but I use a bow.

Knife, I only learned it for more than three months. "

The proprietress nodded slightly and said: "If you have never shared the hardships with Master Li, how can you share the joys?"

Lady Yan said coquettishly, "Sister Xue, are you so sure that my family will lose?"

The proprietress said: "It's not that I'm sure, but almost everyone believes so. That's why this concubine chooses to tell Mr. Li my concubine's intentions at this time."

Her move is considered a low-value investment, but she does need to bear a lot of risks afterwards.

But it's also a way for her to prove her sincerity.

back home.

Li Yuan put his arms around Lady Yan and lay down together, talking on the pillow.

"Sister, look, even though I kissed Sister Xue, I didn't tell Sister Xue that you are very powerful. Hehe, isn't your wife very virtuous?"

"Then continue rewarding!"

"Oh, what are you doing, you can't be sensual, you can't~~"

Playful laughter came from the thin quilt.

The apricot tree outside the window bloomed and withered, but Yan Niangzi planted some peonies, iris and cloves, and they were in full bloom at this time.

Seven days later.

Wangxi Tower, the stream is gurgling, reflecting the sky and showing dazzling golden waves.

The upper floor was already full of people, because of the proprietress, Yan Yu also had a good seat on the third floor. Although it was in the corner, she could still see the fighting on the ring.

This is the first time she has watched her man fight.

But the ring is still empty.

The proprietress grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and two cups of drinks, and chatted with Yan Yu while eating.

Behind the two women, there are two big and three thick men with swords, these are the guards of the proprietress's own house.

The law and order in Silver Creek is very good, and there will be no accidents in such a large gathering.

What's more. The proprietress glanced at the noble area on the high platform on the edge of the ring opposite Wangxi Tower.

The one sitting in the middle is the real emperor of the three squares of Yinxi, Wutong, and Zichong, the master of the Xuedao Sect——Tie Sha.

Iron killings are all here, what danger can there be?
She brought guards because there were so many people today, just in case.

On the arena, a man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes was already sitting cross-legged, the breeze blowing, blowing his hair on both sides, revealing his handsome face.

And the long knife lay horizontally on his knee, the knife was not out of its sheath, but it was full of fighting spirit.

This man is Zhao Zimu.

The proprietress ate a melon seed and asked in a low voice, "The opponents are all up, where is Mr. Li?"

Yan Niangzi softly compared her mouth and said: "I don't know either."

And there was some laughter and noise from downstairs, vague voices such as "Isn't it because I was afraid", "I must have known that I would lose, so I didn't come here".

Lady Yan said angrily: "They can really say, who will escape in this kind of battle?"

The proprietress said softly: "They are not stupid, they are flattering. Hey, who do you think is handsome, Zhao Zimu or Mr. Li?"

"Of course it's Mr. Li, so what else to say?" Yan Niangzi put her hands on her hips, very proud.

The two women were talking, but they saw another noise coming from a distance.

The watching crowd parted a lane, and a young man with his head bowed and a long knife walked out of the lane.

The long knife mopped the ground, making an ear-piercing sound of "clucking".

Li Yuan arrived at the edge of the ring, stepped lightly on the ring, glanced at the "38-40" floating around the opponent, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm late."

"It doesn't matter, you came from a long way because you are tired; I waited here quietly, but I am full of energy. Do you want to rest?" Zhao Zimu asked lightly.

Li Yuan nodded and said: "You are right, then I will rest for a while."

Zhao Zimu:
Everyone: .
After a while, Li Yuan grabbed the saber shaft, Zhao Zimu also drew the saber out of its sheath, and the two figures criss-crossed and approached instantly.

You come and go, and for a while, you can't let go.

Between Qi and blood, the big sword opened and closed, and every blow was like the impact of heavy weapons, making a roar that can only be caused by huge force.

Everyone was dazzled, but they heard a sound like an explosion.

The two separated and looked at each other from a distance.

Zhao Zimu said: "Junior Brother Li, your strength is not weak, you have only practiced swords for three months, and you have such a level. I heard that you are still from a small village like Xiaomofang, which is even more rare.

I recognize your strength.

It's a pity. It's too early for you to fight, and I won't be polite after that. "

Li Yuan panted heavily and said, "Please enlighten me."

After that, he yelled again and rushed forward.

In an instant, the two fought for hundreds of rounds again.

Finally, Zhao Zimu didn't check, Li Yuan slammed the back of his knife on his vest, lost his balance and fell off the ring.

Zhao Zimu's shock was no small matter, and he wanted to touch the ground with the tip of his knife and return to the ring.

After all, falling into the ring is a direct loss.

But Li Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and with another flick of the long knife, he crushed Zhao Zimu from mid-air, preventing him from flying back.

Bang! !

Zhao Zimu fell into the dust, rolled twice, turned his head angrily, and saw the young man on the ring politely clasping his fists, panting heavily, and politely said: "Brother Zhao, it's a fluke."

Zhao Zimu couldn't be angry for a while, so he could only return the gift and said, "Brother Li, you won."

But he was very unwilling in his heart. He always felt that he could win, but he was just a tiny bit short of losing.

Maybe he shouldn't let the other party rest.

Or maybe it was because the opponent's knife was longer than his.

hateful
Damn.
