Chapter 209 The Second Day

Thousands of miles away, Yunmeng Daze.

In the early morning, the weather was gray, and more than a dozen small fishing boats were up and down by the lake with the wind.

There are few people in the old town, only a few fishermen, sitting on the threshold, smoking a pipe, watching a quack passing by on the old street.

hooves, hoofs...

The crisp sound of horseshoes became the only sound on the old street.

Holding the rein, Qiu Tianhe looked at the small town he had visited when he was young, and gradually felt a sense of a world away in his eyes.

More than 30 years ago, Qiu Tianhe was in his twenties, about the same age as Ye Jingtang. He had just left the mountain, possessed a good sword technique, and came to Yunmengze, which is known as the holy land of swordsmen in the world, with great ambition.

It is said to be a holy place not because Yunmengze has any special meaning, but simply because the strongest swordsman in the world is here.

At that time, Qiu Tianhe, like all young people, thought that from the day Yunmengze left, he could take away the title of 'Knife Leader' and return to his hometown in full glory like the new champion.

But unfortunately, when he finally left here, although he became a real "swordsman", he failed to fulfill his wish, and took away only the love and hatred that have not been settled yet.

I remember that the very beginning of everything was here in Huangquan Town.

As now, Qiu Tianhe walked down this old street with a knife and a horse.

At that time, there was a handsome young ranger, dressed in black, with a 'Chilong Saber' on his waist, not as sharp as Ye Boy, but much more crazy than Ye Boy.

The two passed each other, he glanced at the other's Chilong Saber, and the young ranger looked at his Tianhe Saber.

Then there was the crisp sound of 'choking' drawing the sword, the eight-step crazy sword was very fast, but his Tianhe sword was even faster.

Since then, he has had a younger brother named Zheng Feng, who drink with each other, practice swords together, and go to Junshantai to see like-minded swordsmen and chivalrous women together.

Those days were the happiest time in Qiu Tianhe's life, and probably also Zheng Feng's happiest time.

If it hadn't been for the show girl incident later, maybe the two of them are still wandering around Yunmengze, drinking and competing, dreaming about the day when they will replace Xuanyuan as the sword leader.

It's a pity that the world is tricky. After a storm, he only got rid of his identity as a bandit and got a free body until today; while Zheng Feng didn't even have a chance to stand up, and his soul has returned to the loess, becoming a person from the past.

On the contrary, it is the old man Xuanyuan, who is still sitting in the position of Dao Kui until now, which has not changed from before.

Good people don't live long, and evils last for thousands of years, that's probably what they said...

Qiu Tianhe led his horse through the old street, thinking about the past, and stopped outside an old wine shop.

The name of the restaurant is 'Huangquan Daozhong'. It was opened by an old swordsman in the past. When he first came to Zezhou, he often came here with Zheng Feng to listen to the bragging of the shopkeeper.

But now things are different and people are different, the old shopkeeper has already been buried in the ground, and the lovely girl who used to be beautiful has also become a half-year-old mistress who still has a charm.

Qiu Tianhe parked his horse at the door and took a few glances inside. He could see that young quacks with knives were sitting on the four wine tables, just like he was back then, chatting enthusiastically with friends about quack affairs.

However, the person we are talking about now has changed from the peak swordsman 30 years ago to someone who has come here:

"... Hero Qiu must come here. He yelled so loudly in the Mingyu Tower in the capital. If he didn't come and fight with Xuanyuan, wouldn't it be thunder and rain..."

"More than 3000 people have come to Junshantai, and they are all waiting. It is said that the heart of Junshantai is really dark, not to mention going to the island to sit, and just standing on the cruise ship. Standing and watching, it costs two taels of silver... ..."

"There is a handicap in the county, and the revenge hero wins ten and loses ten. How much did you bet?"

"Suppressed 30 taels of Xuanyuan old man, support for Hero Qiu, but you can't give money to the dealer for nothing, isn't it..."

"cut……"

……

Qiu Tianhe took a deep breath, the emotions he had finally brewed were completely wiped out by these brats, and he lost even the interest in going in for a drink and pretending.

In the restaurant, the lady proprietress opened the curtain with the appetizers, saw Qiu Tianhe outside the door, she was slightly stunned, then turned her head:
"Gangzi, your friend is here."

Seeing this, Qiu Tianhe was quite surprised, tied his horse to the door, and entered the old wine shop:
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. It's not easy for Sister Lan to recognize me."

"They are all in their 50s, and they still call them sisters and sisters. They are not ashamed to be old."

"Ha ha……"

After a few words of greeting, Qiu Tianhe pushed aside the curtain of the restaurant and came to the backyard.

The backyard is not big, with a lot of ropes hanging on it to dry the saury caught from the lake. You can smell a strong fishy smell when you enter the door.

In the kitchen, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper, holding a pot and spoon in one hand, was frying side dishes. When he saw Qiu Tianhe coming in, he calmly said:

"Sit down, I'll finish frying these two dishes."

Qiu Tianhe came to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xuanyuan Tiangang who was already no different from a common man, thought for a while and sighed softly:

"Zheng Feng left at the beginning of the year."

The action of cooking is a meal.

Xuanyuan Tiangang was silent for a while, and asked:

"How did you get there?"

"He died on the wine table, it should be because the hidden wounds of the year were not healed."

Xuanyuan Tiangang frowned. Although he had been helping Zheng Feng and his sister all the time, he even broke up with his family after the turmoil, gave up his bright future and quit the arena directly.

But the old friend, it is indeed because of his Xuanyuan family's calculations that he ended up in the current situation. As long as his surname is Xuanyuan, the guilt in his heart will not be erased.

"Can Zheng Feng leave any heirs?"

"If the injury is not healed, how can I keep an heir? I have adopted a adopted son, who is very talented and a good person. I was imprisoned by that kid. I guess it won't be long before I go to Junshan Terrace to seek revenge."

"Yesterday there was a cause, and today there will be a result. It is right to seek revenge. This is a matter of the Xuanyuan family, and it has nothing to do with me more than 20 years ago."

Qiu Tianhe sighed, and understood that Xuanyuan Tiangang said open-mindedness, but in reality the difficulty in his heart was greater than his.

After all, on one side are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, and on the other side are best friends. The two sides are feuding endlessly.

Qiu Tianhe knew that talking about these things would only increase his boredom, so he didn't say any more, went into the kitchen, picked up a piece of fried pork with his chopsticks:

"The knife skill has not regressed, and the aura is as compelling as before..."

"It's from Alanche. If you want to talk about it, there's no need to brag about it."

"..."

Qiu Tianhe was slightly embarrassed, and blinked:
"Close to Zhu Zhechi, Lan Meizi's knives have been practiced so far, you didn't bring them... Yes, it's still the taste of the past, Zheng Feng likes this one, and then I have two liang of Huangquan Shao, and I will go to Junshan Terrace after eating. It's worth dying on stage."

"Ah……"

……
-
The sun was rising in the east, and the morning sunlight penetrated through the window paper and sprinkled on the floor in front of the canopy bed.

There were no other guests in the inn, so it was very quiet in the morning, only the sound coming from the window:
"Goooooooooooo—"

It sounded like a chirping, but it was actually a bored bird calling Tangtang to get up.

Between the curtains, the dark fragrance still exists.

Ye Jingtang was lying on his side, his right arm stretched out to serve Sanniang as a pillow, his cheek was pressed against the soft bun, his lower abdomen felt like fat, and there was an indescribable softness in the warmth and coolness.

With her back to the two, Luo Ning was held in Sanniang's arms, sleeping peacefully with Ye Jingtang's forearm on her pillow.

The sleeping appearance of the three of them is a bit strange to say the least.

Originally, Ye Jingtang wanted to lie in the middle like an old man, one hand at a time, but Ning'er was thin-skinned and refused to lean into her arms in front of Sanniang, insisting on sleeping in the innermost place.

Sanniang was bullied for a long time before, seeing Ning'er's reluctance, maybe she wanted revenge, so she hugged Ning'er who was dizzy and didn't want to move.

Ye Jingtang has a very wide arm, and there is no pressure to hug two people at once, and he enjoys it in his heart, but there is also a small problem when sleeping like this-using his arm as a pillow, until now, his right hand has basically lost consciousness, and his entire arm is numb. It's numb.

But man, it's right to be wronged a little bit, and Ye Jingtang didn't feel uncomfortable when he was enjoying it.

Hearing the chirping of birds, Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, cautiously looked up, and saw that Sanniang and Ning'er, who had worked hard all night, hadn't woken up yet, didn't move, and silently sensed their physical condition.

After being wheeled all night, although the exuberant energy still hasn't subsided, the impetuous energy and blood are still stable, and I feel clear and clear, and every inch of the skin seems to be much clearer than before.

However, the qi channels in the body have the most changes, and the inner breath is long and self-contained, and even without raising the qi, one can feel the terrifying explosive power hidden in the body.

As for the rest, not much has changed. The strongest effect of 'Tianlangzhu' should be 'reborn', which adjusts the muscles, bones, and Qi channels, so that the bones of the body can reach the most perfect state.

Because it has been adjusted last time, there is no change in the muscles and bones this time, but the air channels have been widened and opened up.

Although the improvement in strength is also great, the energy channels can be polished by accumulating hard work over time. Even if you don't eat Tianlangzhu, it will take a few years to reach the current state; Tianlangzhu spent half a catty of snow lake flowers After training, the main function should be to strengthen the tendons and forge the bones, so it is indeed a bit wasteful to use it like this.

But the material of this celestial pearl was obtained by Zhang Jinglin from Beiliang, and Ye Jingtang picked up a big bargain, so it can't be said that it hurts.

After thinking wildly for a moment, it might be because of a change in her breathing rate. Sanniang, who was leaning in front of her, moved her eyelashes, and then opened her almond eyes.

Ye Jingtang put his hair in a bun and whispered in his ear:
"It's okay, continue to sleep and rest for a while."

Pei Xiangjun woke up, his face that had recovered to normal was stained red again, and he turned his head to look at Hu Meizi in his arms:
"It's really useless, she's like this, she just cried and cried, and then lay flat and didn't move, how did you recuperate before?"

Ye Jingtang actually felt that Sanniang was not much better than Ning'er, but he didn't make steamed buns to fight for breath, and he didn't want to appear weak in front of Ning'er, so he insisted on pretending to be capable.

For these, Ye Jingtang naturally sees through and doesn't say anything, just said:
"I haven't taken so many tonics before, Ning'er can't resist, yesterday was a little bit mild, didn't hurt you, right?"

Pei Xiangjun felt a little sour, but mostly okay, leaning his back against Ye Jingtang's chest, felt a little, and found that Ye Jingtang seemed to be on edge again, so he bit his lower lip and glanced at Ye Jingtang:

"Jingtang, do you still want to..."

"..."

Ye Jingtang must have been thinking a little bit, seeing Sanniang being so considerate, he quietly put his hand under the thin quilt...

"Huh~..."

Pei Xiangjun's face turned red again, he covered his lips with his hands, his eyes were watery, and he was adjusted silently.

After making out for a while, Pei Xiangjun saw Hu Meizi in front of him, her eyelashes moved, then he opened his eyes, looked back at her, and turned his cheeks back, trying to get away from the embrace.

"What are you running for?"

Pei Xiangjun held Luo Ning in his arms and pulled Ye Jingtang over.

!

Luo Ning's eyes were instantly annoyed, and she held Ye Jingtang's arm, who had bullied the two once:

"Little thief, you promised not to mess around yesterday..."

Pei Xiangjun held Luo Ning tightly, frowned and said:

"That was yesterday, it's the second day. Don't move around, let Jingtang rub it."

"San Niang, are you spoiling him? His aggressive temper..."

When Luo Ning saw that Ye Jingtang was really fighting, her face gradually turned red, she had no choice but to close her eyes and pretend to be inactive and uncooperative...

……

In a blink of an eye, the sun rose three poles.

The windows in the room were opened, and the warm sunlight shone into the room.

Pei Xiangjun put on a goose yellow dress and sat upright in front of the dressing table, his already familiar and charming cheeks felt a little more hydrated.

Luo Ning stood behind her, helping Sanniang to style her hair, but she looked very fierce. Seeing Sanniang secretly looking at Ye Jingtang who was changing clothes behind, she straightened her cheek with her hands:

"Sit down and don't move."

"Why are you fierce? Why didn't I see you so violent just now?"

"Yesterday was the first time I saw you, so I'm accommodating you, next time you'll be a pawn for a tiger, don't blame me for being rude..."

"Cut~"

……

Ye Jingtang changed his robes at the back, because he was a bit presumptuous just now, and it was not easy to interrupt and make jokes. After changing Hei Ya's robes silently, he rubbed his old waist that Ning'er had pinched for a long time, and said goodbye to the two of them, and went ahead left the inn...
-
In the small town along the river, the imperial guards are all on standby in the shade. From time to time, scouts come flying from the distant Wushan Mountain, and they run into the inn to report all the news they have just inquired about:
"Zezhou's soldiers and horses have already caught up with King Wu's team. They fought a battle in the early hours of the morning and captured many people accompanying them. King Wu broke through with more than ten soldiers..."

"Among those arrested by King Wu, is there a man named Zhang Wenyuan?"

"I haven't had time to check it yet, so it's unclear..."

"Go check it out."

In the lobby of the inn, Dongfang Liren was dressed in a silver python robe, posing like a queen, standing behind two tables that were put together.

On the table is a detailed map of Wuzhou, with various arrows circled on it, marking the location of King Wu and the court soldiers and horses.

From the perspective of the battle, it looks like a general who is good at fighting, strategizing and commanding the troops outside in the battle.

But in fact, the Zezhou soldiers and horses that were encircled and suppressed in the mountains were not under this command at all. This was not because Dongfang Liren couldn't move, but because he didn't dare to make random orders from a long distance.

Without entering the mountain, Dongfangli could only deduce and analyze the situation inside the mountain based on the information sent back by the scouts.

Seeing that Zezhou soldiers and horses were about to capture King Wu, and if they didn’t bring the forbidden army into the mountains to claim credit, they would have to run away with soy sauce. Dongfangli raised his eyes and looked at the street outside the door, muttering to himself:
"This scoundrel, why haven't you come yet? I've forgotten the time in Ruanrouxiang..."

Although she was a little anxious, Dongfang Liren didn't intend to send someone to look for it. After all, she knew that Ye Jingtang was very cowardly last night, and after working so hard for so many days, she must let Ye Jingtang enjoy it.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a greeting from the chief arrester of the black government came from outside the door:

"Master Bird is here!"

"jiji~"

Dongfang Liren looked up and saw a big bird popping up on the sunny street outside the door. After responding to the chief catcher and maid who said hello, Xiao jumped up the steps and raised his wings to say hello when he saw her.

In the corner of the hall, Master Xuanji had nothing to do, drinking alone all the time.Seeing the broken bird who is about to avenge his kindness, he hooked his hands slightly to tease:

"Hehehe~..."

"grumble?"

Seeing that the unconscionable sister was also there, Niao Niao still took the chicken, and suddenly became unhappy, and put on a look of 'Niao Niao is very fierce', ran over and raised her claws to kick the real Xuanji's shoes.

Dongfang Liren saw Niao Niao approaching, and knew that Ye Jing Tang had arrived, so he came to the door and looked outside.

On the sunny street, Ye Jingtang, dressed in a black robe with a saber hanging from his waist, came from a distance, and greeted the black government chief arrester he knew along the way, his face was full of spring breeze, and he looked very good.

Seeing this stern and extraordinary appearance, people from Dongfangli knew that Ye Jingtang was resting well, but for some reason, after seeing the big villain, and seeing the well-dressed Ye Jingtang again, he felt very strange.

And the real Xuanji, who was shaken by the bird with the skirt in his mouth, found that Ye Jingtang was coming from outside, and restrained his cynical demeanor, put on the posture that a Taoist should have, and came to Dongfang Liren behind...
