Chapter 002 – Knives and Sugar Snaps

The young man with a sword was rightfully regarded as a government official by dozens of elite soldiers of the Fish and Dragon Gang, two words, pretentious.

Some of the gang of young students, at first also worried about this handsome boy in case Miss Liu impressed, so that these guys near the water for a number of years too face, of course, the heart of the vigilance, hate to give him to the five flowers tied up, and then see Liu Nirong attitude of indifference, such as a relief, at first those who have the knife guy’s malice of the slander, but also fade, after all, a slap does not take, and then again, always make fun of the others, but also seems to be them! Small-minded. Fortunately, the self-proclaimed surname Xu young man, did not have a dog on how the Fish and Dragon Gang boss, both sides of the well water offending river water, so came to the North Liang and North Mang border pass, inverted horse pass built on the mountains, located in the North-South shortcut, plaque to the calligraphy of the dynasty everyone Song Zhiqiu writing, businessmen come and go in an endless stream, the city gate road on both sides of the market is bustling with activity, there are fewer soldiers here, and the border with the vast majority of the city compared to the fewer There are fewer wars here, so compared with most of the border towns, there is less of a murderous atmosphere.

There is an old city building foundation site, hair stone and cobblestone masonry, cracks moss, rubble mess, many live in the vicinity of the city of young children in the top of the chase to play, a burly man dressed in green cloth, the waist bundled with red cloth webbing, tiger eyes glaring round, lifted a comparative military standard chopper knife streamlined a lot of huge knife, knife point scratching the ground, so this is the momentum on the foundation, a cold grunt, the big knife into the ground, around the chest and stood.

Adults rushed carefully around the stout man to go to their respective children to catch the pedestal, a naughty child loach general slippery, the child’s mother age of the early twenties model, the border sandy rough, did not think that the young woman’s small mother’s skin is still good as grease, her slender waist small feet, actually can not chase the naughty children, pedestal under the merchants and detained brigade and the local people laughed a piece of some of them are still not a woman warming the bed of the young skin Scoundrels, piled up together to nibble on jujubes, but also spit out the kernel of the jujubes out of the voice of molestation, so that the pretty face of the little mother red, the child passed by the side of the strong man with a chopper, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, reaching out to touch the blade, the result was the man’s fierce and vicious stare, scared in place, then wow wow crying, wearing a pair of placketed plain clothes of the little mother rushed to put her arm around the child, soft apologies to look at each other, and timidly dare not speak.

The thirty-year-old black-faced man is actually red for no reason red face, probably a rough in the fine chick, see the little lady in front of the water, it is not easy to board face to create the image of a high profile, all of a sudden broken, those city rascals are wildly uproarious.

This crumbling pedestal, every ten days and a half months there are jianghu people here than the martial arts, although the little lady is a woman of the family of the serious, but often settled in the villages near the inverted horse pass, have seen a lot of these words at every turn to pull out a sword on the reckless but also is not too fearful of the Northern Liang barren and cold, compared to the fertile soil of thousands of miles of fertile Jiangnan, want to live, you have to pick out from the God’s teeth to eat, the people’s culture of simplicity At the same time exceptionally brave to build martial arts, the government on the martial arts private fights are not prohibited, but if it is accidentally injuring the people a person, it is a major crime to be confiscated, accidentally injuring the number of people to more than three people, it is to be on the ground, without hundreds of taels of silver to pay tribute to the soldiers grandpa, simply can not live, nowadays the way of the world, will be a bit of flowery fist with the fist and the fist dare to say that he is a wanderer of the jianghu, there are a few pockets can have a few dozen taels of silver? With the backing of his mother, the child wiped the little black cat tears face, made a face to the strong man, immediately to compete with the man helplessly scratching his head, obviously not a vicious person. The child originally also wanted to stretch his leg to kick this even the knife are not allowed to touch the petty black charcoal block, fortunately was his mother hastily pulled away, softly reprimanded two sentences.

Black-faced strong man seems to not look askance, but the corner of the eye is thrown in the little lady slightly bent over after digging up the buttocks, the knot in the throat slightly moving, the woman’s body delicate and small, clean clothes, probably wash a number of times a little too much, coupled with her hips compared to the body is too straight, by the two petals of the fullness of the force of the more and more appear to be unlimited spring light, not that the chopper man up with the wrong intentions, he does have some hard style, but do not care to do! That the unscrupulous flower thief, if you say robbing women such hooks, he a rootless bottomless jianghu wandering soul, and is certainly not the money to do, as for wandering harrier, no silver how is good? This is not today just about the battle of a border on the little-known swordsman, thinking of sparing injuries also want to rely on the chopper chopped some reputation, so that some rich and noble characters green-eyed in the eye, can be made into a guardian of the head is the best.

Xiao Medan went to take the goods with the pass lieutenant to show the road citation official disk, the king of hell good to say, the little ghost is difficult to entangle, a moment and a half will certainly not pass, this should have been Liu Nirong horse, but her appearance is attractive, extremely easy to cross the branch, Xiao Medan also do not care to let the master’s granddaughter to practice and save up for this point of the world of human affairs, a carload of cargo out of the question, the fish and dragon gang smashed pots and sold iron is also barely afford to pay, but annoyed that the general kind of male, it is really going to break bones. Really want to hurt the bones, so simply do not let Liu Nirong show up, there is a private letter of the official disk, I think it must be broken a bit, you can go out of the country smoothly. Liu Nirong with a few followers around, and master Xiao Medan said half an hour later at the city gate, Liu Nirong intention to take advantage of this trip to recruit one or two jianghu warriors into the gang, she really want to take over the fish and dragon gang, without a little bit of their own direct lineage, inevitably to raise their heads, and everything is bound, ultimately is not beautiful.

She and six or seven fish and dragon gang young gang members with the flow of people together to the base of the platform near, several want to get close to mooching the snake skin, were Liu Nirong side of the flower messenger gently knocked away, are skillful, let a person know difficult to retreat, after all, this is not Lingshou, in case to get into the hands of the hard point, who will sell a hear have not heard of the fish and dragon gang face. How big is the jianghu today? Slightly mixed some years of half-assed jianghu people can casually report on a large number of the so-called sects gangs teach temple Zhuang island Zhai will Palace, not to say that elsewhere, a Lingshou, reported on the name of more than four dozens of, to put it bluntly, you can take a good name are as difficult as the sky, the fish and dragons gang is to count the way out of the early, only to grab the fish and dragons so a name that is not vulgar, out of the Lingshou, the entire jianghu is estimated to be the same name of fish and dragons gang without ten also have eight or nine. There are eight or nine.

Rang a large coaxing shouts, Liu Nirong turned his head to look, a white clothes such as snow sword chivalry stepped on the shoulders of the sea of people fluttered to the dusty look, this hand showed quite colorful swordsman towards Liu Nirong this direction point shoulder and, Liu Nirong how to stand this kind of being stepped on the shoulders of the head and the humiliation of the past, the waist of the famous sword silently sheathed inches of Xu, the eyes of the stern, that face like a peach blossom of a handsome swordsman squinted, seems to perceive Liu Nirong’s qi sharp, a little turn, stepping on the shoulders of the nearby people watching the battle swept to the base of the stage, floating settled, can be called a jade tree wind.

No real skill can not dare to appear like him, the jianghu crouching tigers and hidden dragons, in case of stepping on stepping into a big pit to go, by the masters of the hand a pull to the ground and fell to a dog shit, this is also over the stance of the fart. Next is in accordance with the rules of the martial arts to go, the two sides first to register their own number aloud, either splashing each other dirty water, or blowing each other up, and then can not immediately enjoy a sound fight, but have to say a sword without eyes, life and death self-responsibility, if it is a life-and-death struggle, but also have to have a respected jianghu seniors as a witness to the two sides to sign a pledge of life and death, don’t think that at this time all is well, if it is not the true indifferent to the money of the masters of the money If it is not a real master of money and fame, but also have to look around, and so on to the field of some of the size of the gambling house under the collection of enough bets, before you can start, after all, many fights, the real masters of the fight, often within the time of tea will be determined to win or lose, and look is not wonderful, it is necessary to bet on the side of the house to spend some money to hire people to yell, if it is sparse ordinary test, it is even more necessary to encourage the yell, which is better for both sides of the test, the most unlucky is not to be the buyers of the audience together! Cheers, this is simply a jianghu martial arts a great shame, and now a powerful gang big brother in Beiliang, so far, many of the enemies of the enemy to take him back when he debuted than the shabby scene as a big joke disgusting people.

Liu Nirong around many of the old people excited to bring a long bench, dragging the family to sit and wait for a good show, but also inserted dozens of strings of ice candy gourd vendors shuttle to and fro, greedy children are noisy to let their parents to pull out a few coins. Under the base of the platform, the crowd is booming, so lively. Liu Nirong looked around and didn’t take it lightly. Fish and Dragon Gang these two years in Lingshou is not other gangs of its goodwill to see, and by taking lives to win the name of the Twin Spinning Swallow master Xiao Medaka, countless enemies, this trip without the Fish and Dragon Gang Liu old master shelter, may not be no one to come to revenge and seek provocation, Lingshou business is big again there is a limit to the acres of three quarters of the land stands dozens of sects and factions, who are thinking of other people’s rice bowls into their own hands, the Fish and Dragon Gang is at the time of the “revitalization”. Fish and Dragon Gang is now at the critical juncture of the “revitalization”, not to mention almost the power of the gangs, for fear that the Fish and Dragon Gang is growing, that is, some of the big gangs are thinking of Yin a little Fish and Dragon Gang, Liu Nirong knows that there is no past who can not buy the bottom line, the only thing is to be careful again and again be careful.

Around a few handful of strangers let Liu Nirong heart is very scrupulous, a group is just outside the city gates together with the official disk business, such as the fish and dragon gang selling rouge and powder such expensive items, has been considered a great wrist, but who all know the real method of the sky, the most powerful is that those who are not allowed to see the light of salt and iron peddlers, this kind of thing was found, it is the death of the family, any of your back pestle and pestle of how big the official masters, once the Beiliang army learned that The next thing is to sell horses, buy horses from the North Mang, as for whether to sell to the North Liang military and government or sell to private, depending on the ability, in short, this pile of business is also the head tied to the waistband of the danger, not only to be familiar with this side of the Beiliang solid relationship in the North Mang need to be quite reliable and powerful people to help pave the way, at this time, Liu Nirong around there are a group of At this moment, Liu Nirong has a group of horse dealers around her, seemingly dressed as merchants, all of them are physically fit, and the God’s splendor is internalized. Another gang is even more openly pointing toward her, not the slightest sign of concealment.

Liu Nirong softly said, “Be careful, don’t just look at the martial arts competition on the stage.”

The youths of the Fish Dragon Gang around her all nodded silently.

Somehow, when Liu Nirong looked at the distant stack of adobe walls connected to the mountain, squatting on that young man, holding a bunch of ice candy gourds in one hand, head down to nibble on it, but not watching the martial arts fight on the base of the stage as they were, but looking out at the head of the Fallen Horse Pass, she froze for a moment, crying and laughing a little, this guy has a leisurely mood, when really, it is half a bit of the flavor of the reckless martial arts man is not there. How did the general’s residence get such a character to “escort darts”? Liu Nirong did not have the mood to measure the identity of the young man with a sword, continue to cast their eyes to the base of the stage, I have to admit that the saber, brawn can not be described as not amazing, a forty pounds of sword wielded only see the light of the knife, white as snow swordsman is the sword is superb, the saber under the chopping block, leisurely, a sword in the hands of a light pick slow mention slowly point, very easy to write, apparently there is a margin for error, the sword art at least can be with her master, Xiao Medan! This makes Liu Nirong have a recruiting mind.

On top of the adobe wall, of course, is our Prince Xu Fengnian.

Bamboo skewer into a sugar gourd, sweet and sour, syrup thick yellow, although the vendor stingy poor quality sugar thinning, but also has a unique flavor, candy seeds crisp and not greasy, a mouthful of a hawthorn, crunchy, not a few times on the bamboo skewer is only left with the last hawthorn, was about to mouth, saw squatting around a small child, staring at himself, is the one in the base of the stage with the black-faced swordsman fight the naughty child, the child estimates that the family’s circumstances are not how, but dressed in clean clothes, unlike the black-faced swordsman, the child is not a good family, the child is not a good family. How, only wear clean, not like the general poor children as scruffy, see His Highness turned his head, the child rushed to pretend to look at the fight on the base of the platform, Xu Fengyen laughed, biting his teeth on the bamboo stick on the only candy left, threw the bamboo stick, and then stretched out his hand, handing out the other strings of iced sugar gourds have not yet been down his mouth, the little child side of his head, the corner of his eye vigorously surveyed the tantalizing sugar gourds, swallowed, seems to have a very good tutelage, did not ask a stranger for a few. Good, do not have the habit of asking strangers, revealing two tiger teeth, red-faced coyly shook his head.

The boy hesitated for a while, finally summoned up the courage to make up his mind, turned his head and looked at His Highness with wide eyes.

Xu Fenian turned his head with a puzzled face.

The child reached out and pointed at Xu Fenian’s Spring Thunder Blade hanging at his waist.

Obviously, in the child’s opinion, he could no longer crave for a bunch of ice candy gourds than touching this real sword.

Which child does not have a jianghu in his heart?

Xu Fengyen smiled, generously took off his sword and handed it over to the child.

The child’s eyes couldn’t hide the leaping surprise, his hands embraced the not-so-heavy Spring Thunder Knife.

As if this is simple, it embraces the rivers and lakes.
