Taiqing Sword

Chapter 4, "On the Water Side" in Lin'an City

It is said that Shangguan Jinghong got 100 taels of silver, and he felt a lot more confident. He thought that he must try to go into the inn in the movie and shouted, "Little Er, come to the upper room." 'a feeling of.Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.Seeing Shangguan Jinghong giggling all by himself, the surrounding crowd all hid away.

"Huh?" Shangguan Jinghong felt two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, and couldn't help but frown, thinking: "Hehe, it seems that this 100 taels of silver is not so easy to get. Fortunately, brother has a halo of skills and is not afraid of death." Just come." Without composure, he continued to look around and walked towards the sparsely populated place.

Gradually seeing no one left and right, Shangguan Jinghong walked into an alley, stopped in his tracks, and said, "Come out, I've been following you for so long, just so I have something to ask you."

"Haha, boy, I didn't expect our brothers to be discovered by you. There is a way. If that's the case, take out all the valuables on your body and put them down, and you can get out." Hearing Shangguan Jinghong's words, the people following him were no longer hiding. Came out from behind the wall, 4 people, the leader had a scarred face, with a bamboo stick in his mouth, gasping.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, since the big brothers are only for money, Xiaosheng feels more at ease. Before that, Xiaosheng has something to ask the big brothers, I don't know..." Shangguan Jinghong deliberately wanted to tease these local hooligans .

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of your fart if you have something to say." Scarface roared.

"Which one is the best inn in Lin'an City?"

"Naturally, it's on the water side by the West Lake. It's not only luxurious, but also has chicks singing and dancing. It's really..." Before a hooligan behind Scarface finished speaking, Scarface glared at him, and the hooligan immediately closed his eyes. Mouth.

"Okay, hurry up and take out the money." Dao Scar yelled impatiently at Shangguan.

"No hurry, no hurry, this, this, how do you get on the water side?" Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand, not intending to withdraw money at all.

"I thought you were a scholar, I don't care about you, you still ask this and that, it's shameless. Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you, brothers, go and help this kid squeeze his muscles and bones." Scarface stretched his hands With a wave, the three people behind were gearing up, approaching Shangguan Jinghong with evil smiles.

"Don't come over, don't come over, you'll get hurt if you come over again." Shangguan Jinghong waved his hands back and forth, pretending to be frightened.

"Knowing that you will be injured and not paying the money, it's too late now." Looking at Shangguan Jinghong's frightened look, Dao Scar sneered.As soon as the words fell, his eyes blurred, and there was no trace of Shangguan Jinghong. He only saw his three younger brothers lying on the ground moaning as if they had been hit hard. Hong stood behind him: "Ghost...cough cough." Before he could yell out, Shangguan Jinghong grabbed his neck and raised it with one hand: "I told you I would get hurt, you didn't listen. "

"I..." "What are you talking about, speak louder?" Scar's face was pinched by the neck, and he gradually felt unable to breathe, and rolled his eyes.Shangguan was surprised to see that if he continued, Scarface would definitely die.With a strong shake, Scarface slammed against the wall of the alley, Scarface got up and coughed violently, feeling so close to death for the first time.

"If you dare to rob me, you're looking for death. I don't like trouble, and I hate troublemakers even more." Shangguan Jinghong ignored them, but glanced meaningfully at the corner of the alley, turned around and left the alley.

Scarface and the three younger brothers secretly yelled "Unlucky", and limped out of the alley supporting each other.

After everyone left, in the corner that Shangguan Jinghong glanced at, two middle-aged men in luxurious clothes appeared, one of them said, "Did you see clearly?"

The other person shook his head slightly: "It's too fast. The chief steward only said that this person is unparalleled in temperament, but he doesn't want to have such high martial arts. Obviously, this person found us. Fortunately, he didn't blame us. We have to report to the chief steward immediately and ask him to make a decision. "

The two looked at each other and nodded, before disappearing into the alley.

Besides, Shangguan Jinghong inquired all the way and finally arrived in front of the water side door, looking up at the big sign at the door.The more Shangguan Jinghong watched, the more startled he became. The words 'on the side of the water' were not written, but engraved with a sword. The sword intent contained in it can only be felt by a master of swordsmanship, but Shangguan Jinghong Although he is just a novice who has traveled through time, he can clearly feel the skill inherited from the ancient tomb. Although the sword intent contained in the four characters is not as good as his own, it is also a rare master. In the past few days, among the martial arts people I have seen, the one who carves letters is definitely ranked first.

So Shangguan Jinghong became even more curious about what kind of person the owner of the 'Zaishuifang' inn is.

When he came back to his senses, Shangguan Jinghong found a beautiful young woman about 30 years old at the door of the inn staring at him, looking at Shangguan Jinghong also looking at him, the smile on his face immediately reminded Shangguan Jinghong of the TV series. The old bustard in the Lichun Courtyard, of course, was indeed extremely beautiful before her eyes, which cannot be compared.

"Is the guest officer staying at the hotel?" The young woman asked Shangguan with a flash of beauty.

"Ah... yes." Shangguan Jinghong had seen beauties like Lin Yueer before, but the mature beauty of the person in front of him still made his heart tremble.

"Guest officer, come with me. The slave's name is Narcissus, and he is the boss here."

"Oh, Miss Narcissus, please give me a room." Narcissus led Shangguan Jinghong to the guest room to rest, and ordered the servants to bring hot water, then bowed to leave, and reminded Shangguan Jinghong before leaving: "Guest officer, just order what you need. The downstairs is quite noisy. If you want to eat, you can order someone to bring it to your room." He covered his face and smiled, and Shangguan was stunned for a while, "Mei Gong!" Suddenly such a thought flashed through Shangguan Jinghong's mind, he restrained himself, smiled and said: "Understood." Then he closed the door, leaving only the dazed Narcissus standing outside the door.

Shangguan Jinghong became even more curious about 'on the side of the water', such a beautiful proprietress, with such profound sword intent.

And Narcissus was even more surprised at this time, there are only a handful of people who can not be affected by his charm, and this person is so young.This side of the water is the information contact point of the Shuiyue Palace in Lin'an City. The four characters on the plaque were written when the old palace master created the Tianshui Sword Art, and the sword intent and dominance contained in it.

There are many kendo masters who come to the inn to stay. Seeing the words "in the water", most of them are caught in it, unable to extricate themselves, and she obviously feels that Shangguan Jinghong has also felt the sword intent, but he wakes up so quickly. If this People are also masters with swords, so his cultivation base is terrible.

There is such a master in Lin'an City, and the previous intelligence did not find out, Narcissus did not dare to hesitate, and immediately passed the information back to Shuiyue Palace.

But Shangguan Jinghong thought for a long time and couldn't connect the person who carved the letter with the proprietress of Narcissus. The only possibility is that the person who carved the letter was Narcissus' husband. Thinking of this, Shangguan Jinghong felt a little lost in his heart.

……

Besides, two well-dressed middle-aged men who appeared in the alley were reporting to an old man: "Old butler, the person you let us pay attention to is extremely skilled in martial arts, far better than us. He was discovered by him just now. I dare not wait." Follow along and he may live 'on the water side'.

And the old man is none other than the old man who gave Shangguan Jinghong a question on the ring stage. Hearing the rewards from his subordinates, his eyes flashed: "The martial arts are extremely high? Well, I see that when he left with the money, he used His physical skills are extremely good, so he guessed that this person knows martial arts, and he is not inferior. So I sent you to follow, I don't want you to be discovered by him." The old man thought for a while: "It's not your fault, you go down, I will go to the master. return."

After the middle-aged man left, the old man paced back and forth, and after half a moment, he turned and walked towards the inner hall.

"Master, Shangguan Jinghong is not only extremely talented, but according to the report of the two Longhu brothers sent, this person's martial arts is also rare at that time. The old slave has missed the investigation. Please come down to the master." In the inner hall, the old man He bowed and said to the masked woman.

"Oh? So this Shangguan Jinghong is both civil and military, so that our business can be completed more easily." The masked woman did not blame the old man: "Where is this person now?"

"Return to the master, the old slave doesn't know where this person is going, but Brother Longhu said that maybe he will live in the 'side of the water'" The old man told the girl again about Brother Longhu's return, and when he mentioned being on the side of the water, The old man looked up at the woman.

"On the water side?" The woman frowned slightly: "I live in a place like Narcissus, a vixen, um."

Seeing that the woman did not speak for a long time, the old man bowed again and said: "Master, there is nothing else, the old servant will leave."

The woman nodded, but before the old man left the hall, the woman suddenly said: "Wait, you and I will go to the 'side of the water' tomorrow."

The old man looked up at the woman: "Master, on the water side is the territory of the Water Moon Palace, we..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman waving: "Just go and have a look, just have a meal."

The old man had no choice but to agree, just hoping that there would be no conflicts.
