Taiqing Sword

Chapter 182, Recruiting diners

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yi was pacing back and forth in front of the gate of the mansion.

Shangguan Jinghong walked up the steps: "Xiao Yi, why are you here?"

When Xiao Yi saw Shangguan startled, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, my Mr. Shangguan, you can be regarded as coming back, why didn't you say anything when you went out."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled: "It's just walking around the city."

Xiao Yi said: "You don't know, when you went out, the master scolded the little one, and I sent three waves of people, but they couldn't find you!"

Shangguan Jinghong was slightly moved: "There is an auction in the city, I went to see it, and I happened to see that Mr. Peng was there, and he bought a sword for me. Didn't Mr. Peng come back?" Come here?"

Xiao Yi was taken aback: "Huh? The owner of the villa is here too? I never heard of it."

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "Cheng Feng is a son-in-law, hehe, isn't he unqualified, otherwise why didn't the father-in-law come to the door?"

Xiao Yi greeted Shangguan Jinghong and entered the mansion, and said in a low voice: "Sir, I don't know, the master is an official, and the villa owner is from the rivers and lakes. The status of the villa owner has always been in conflict with the master, so, except for the New Year , almost rarely move around, and even the identity of the wife is only known to me."

Shangguan Jinghong suddenly said: "So that's the case, oh yes, what are you waiting for me?"

Xiao Yi quickly shook his head: "It's not the little one waiting for you. You are so capable, so don't worry about the little one. I'm the master. I'm afraid you will leave without saying goodbye!"

"Hehe, could it be that Cheng Feng thought I would live here for the rest of my life?"

"Cheng doesn't think so, but the benefactor has not been repaid, so he left. Doesn't this make people laugh at Cheng?" While Shangguan Jinghong was talking to Xiao Yi, Cheng Feng walked out with his wife.

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head: "I hope my identity will not cause you any trouble."

Cheng Feng laughed at himself: "Cheng seldom dealt with people in the Jianghu, but since this incident happened at home, Cheng's heart has changed. Today I have published a list widely to recruit diners. If it is a wife and daughter, what will happen... Hey, I'm afraid Cheng won't be able to survive."

After finishing speaking, he added to Shangguan Jinghong: "As for the identity of Mr. Shangguan, Cheng doesn't know, but my wife is from the Jianghu, and I learned from my wife that Mr. Shangguan is a member of the devil's way? Be cruel, Mr. Shangguan This should be the trouble to talk about, right?"

Peng Ying glanced at Cheng Feng reproachfully, why did she say everything, what if it made people unhappy?

Shangguan Jinghong smiled slightly: "That's right, I killed four people just outside the city." After speaking, he looked at Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then he also put on a smile: "I think it's not easy to open your eyes, did you offend sir?"

“How come you see?”

Cheng Feng pointed to Xiao Yi: "If not, Xiao Yi ridiculed Mr. many times back then, could An Neng survive?"

Xiao Yi scratched his head in embarrassment, and muttered: "If I knew that Mr. Shangguan is so powerful, I wouldn't dare to talk too much."

One sentence made everyone laugh. At night, Cheng Feng arranged a banquet again, just to thank Shangguan Jinghong, but seeing Cheng Feng's family of three enjoying themselves happily, I still felt a little lonely in my heart. Alone, or have such a warm.

On the second day, as soon as Shangguan Jinghong came out of the room, he saw dozens of people gathered in front of the mansion. After asking, he found out that many of the diners Cheng Feng recruited had already signed up. Come one after another.

Cheng Feng didn't want to come forward, he originally wanted Cheng Zhi, his nephew, to help, but since Cheng Zhi practiced the martial arts taught by Shangguan Jinghong, he devoted himself to practicing, so he handed over all the affairs here to Xiao Yi, which made Xiao Yi After a while, I just wanted to recruit 20 people to guard the city lord's mansion at first. Now that so many people have come, whether to stay or rush, I can't make up my mind for a while, so I have to look at Shangguan Jinghong for help.

"Sir, please help me out. I don't understand the affairs of Jianghu. The master will let the young one decide..."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Xiao Yi with a bitter face, walked to the side of the road and picked up some stones, and said, "Xiao Yi, go and tell them, whoever can catch my stones can keep them!"

Xiao Yi immediately brightened his eyes: "Everyone be quiet, this is a guest invited by our city lord, but he is a master, whoever of you can catch the stone in this gentleman's hand can keep it!"

As soon as this remark came out, someone in the crowd immediately said with disdain: "Just rely on him? I think it's better to let him take my stone!"

"That's right, a doll, so arrogant!"

……

Suddenly there was a young man in black in the crowd, who walked away with his sword in his arms, and said as he walked, "I can't take it, so I'm leaving."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, keep him."

Xiao Yi was taken aback, and wanted to ask why, but seeing that the young man in black had drifted away, he hurriedly shouted: "The strong man stays, you can stay!"

The young man was stunned: "I can't take it, why do you keep me?"

Xiao Yi looked at Shangguan Jinghong, and also hoped to get an answer. Shangguan Jinghong said: "I know, I know, you still have a lot of room for the future, so you can stay!"

Some people in the crowd were dissatisfied immediately, Shangguan Jinghong threw a stone in his hand, in exchange for a disdainful look, but when the stone hit his body, he couldn't even utter a word, and was thrown far away , passed out.

Now the crowd was completely silent, the few people who just mentioned looked at Shangguan Jinghong in horror, and left quietly.

Only one old man, dressed in rags, took a step forward: "I'm old, I've been practicing for a long time, and I'm not a match for this gentleman, but I still want to give it a try!"

Shangguan Jinghong raised the corner of his mouth, and a stone hit the old man with a piercing sound. He knew it was more powerful than the stone thrown just now. The old man's complexion changed, and he folded his hands, trying to stop The attack of the stone, unexpectedly the force behind the stone was amazing, even though the old man exhausted all his strength, he still fell to the ground, coughed a few times, then turned back, not caring about the dirt on his body: "Oh, the old man is so It's been a waste of years."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi immediately understood, and said, "Mister, please enter the house!"

The old man was puzzled, and Shangguan Jinghong said: "This stone was originally half-successful, although it will not hit you seriously, but I think there are still some minor injuries, but you have continued, this body armor Qi, it’s rare in this world!”

The old man's face turned red, and his half-successful power was already like this. He really lived like a dog at his age, but the old man still walked into the city lord's mansion.

With Shangguan Jinghong, Xiao Yi felt very complacent: "Is there any more?"
