The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 56 The moon is dark and the wind is high
There was an undercurrent in the lobby on the first floor.

When Fang Xun reached the top floor, the seventh floor, he suddenly felt the scene before his eyes change.

In the huge seventh floor, there is only one round table, on which are placed delicious dishes and the aroma of fine wine.

I saw three people sitting at the table.

A man with a square face and a straight back, he has an air of authority and authority.

The man looked to be about forty-five or forty-six, with a gaunt face, a beautiful beard, and a gentle and refined look. He was a man who was good at selling himself.

There was another person, who was tall but not strong, with regular features, gray hair on his temples, and three long wisps of beard on his chin. When he saw Wei Lin and the other two, he immediately stood up and greeted them with a big laugh.

"Hahaha, Brother Wei, you're here!"

This person was none other than Jiang Xing's father, Jiang Bie, the chief constable of the Six Gates of Guangling Prefecture, who had a life-and-death relationship with Wei Lin.

After Jiang Bie spoke, the other two also stood up with a smile and greeted him with a round of pleasantries.

"Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be in better shape now."

"Come, come, come, I won't leave until I'm drunk today!"

Among the two men, the elegant man is Lin Zijie, the prefect of Guangling Prefecture, and the square-faced man is Wang Xuanshan, the top captain in the army of Guangling Prefecture. Both of them are masters with innate intelligence, and they are in charge of the military and political power of the prefecture respectively.

Although Wei Lin's relationship with the two was not as close as his life-and-death friendship with Jiang Bie, they were still familiar with each other. If Fang Xun wanted to gain experience in the army, he could not do without the nods of these two.

"Thank you for keeping me waiting, Brother Jiang. I will bring a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green in a moment. I will drink three cups as punishment!"

Wei Lin also smiled and walked over to meet him with a big laugh. Fang Xun and Jiang Xing also quickly followed.

Jiang Bie laughed and scolded: "What do you mean by drinking three cups as punishment? Aren't you just thinking about my wine?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the six of them sat down at the table. The two younger generations, Jiang Xing and Fang Xun, poured glasses of wine for the four elders.

When Fang Xun came to Lin Zijie to pour wine, he saw him stroking his beautiful beard and looking at him with a smile and praising him.

"Brother Black Hand Sword Xun, seeing is believing. It looks like the Six Gates will have a new young talent!
Hahaha, you may not know that in the past two months, Brother Xun's reputation has been well-known in Guangling Prefecture!"

After hearing his nickname again, Fang Xun was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Wei Lin on the side quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't praise me, don't praise me. If you praise this brat, he will be so proud!"

"Haha, let's have a drink first to welcome Brother Wei and Brother Xun!"

"it is good!"

Ding--

After drinking the fine wine, Wang Xuanshan put down his glass, looked at Fang Xun with a smile on his face and said.

"Nephew Fang, I will have a proper talk with you over this glass of wine.

Although Jiang Baopi's Six Gates are excellent, there are also some in my army that are not bad. It is better for you not to leave after this time. I recommend you to join the Jiangzhou Army. With your martial arts skills, you will be highly valued by the military leaders!"

It seemed like a casual remark, but the others at the table felt that Wang Xuanshan was very serious and was not joking.

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, but before he could respond, Jiang Bie on the side became unhappy and said with a dark face.

"Go away, go away, you are a reckless man who can't even spit out ivory from his mouth. Calling me Jiang Paopi is fine, but you want to snatch Brother Xun away? No way!"

As they talked, the two began to argue under the influence of alcohol. Fang Xun reacted and quickly bowed and said, "General Wang, Uncle Jiang, please listen to my nephew first."

Immediately, the two of them stopped talking and looked over.

Fang Xun looked at Wang Xuanshan with an apologetic expression and said politely, "I am a lazy person and cannot stand the harshness of the army. I am sorry to disappoint General Wang."

Jiang Bie immediately looked at him with a smug expression, and a hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Xuanshan's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and stopped persuading him.

"Forget it. Everyone has their own aspirations and we can't force them."

Fang Xun immediately raised his glass: "Thank you for your understanding, General. This glass is for you!"

Wang Xuanshan also raised his glass with a smile, drank it all in one gulp, and then told Fang Xun some tips.

"Nephew Fang, I know that you are more than qualified to be a deputy commander with your abilities, but in order to avoid criticism from others, you still need to go through the formalities."

"A formality?" Wei Lin immediately asked worriedly, "What formality? Could it be that there will be more twists and turns in Xun'er's matter?"

Lin Zijie on the side said with a smile: "Brother Wei, don't worry, just let others see Brother Xun'er's strength. The army has always respected the strong.

My brother and I both know that it is no secret that Xun Ge killed Soul Chaser Du Feng, but others do not know. Xun Ge needs to demonstrate his skills in front of all the soldiers. We will hold a martial arts demonstration in the parade ground in seven days."

After hearing this, Fang Xun immediately nodded and agreed confidently.

"That's right. Words alone are not enough. I need to let others know that I am really awesome!"

He understood that although Wang Xuanshan and Lin Zijie had the power to appoint and dismiss officers from Guangling Prefecture, everything in the army was determined by strength.

Neither of them doubted Fang Xun's strength, but the other people in the army did not. If a random fool were to drop in, wouldn't the people below be in chaos?
So Fang Xun needs to show his strength to make others shut up!
"Master Lin, General Wang, I'll toast you two again!"

Ding--

During the collision, Fang Xun's gold plating was officially finalized, and the wine table began to clink glasses and exchange cups. During the alternation, the dishes on the table gradually decreased, and the process was unremarkable. The sun gradually set, and the bright moon rose high. It seemed that in two hours, it would be dark and windy.

All good things must come to an end. On the fifth floor of Fujiang Building, after three rounds of drinking for six people, the party was gradually coming to an end.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group went downstairs chatting and laughing, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Brother Jiang, there's no need to send me off any more. After Brother Xun and I are settled, we'll go to the movie market."

After hearing what Wei Lin said, Jiang Bie asked in confusion: "Film market? What resources do you want to buy?"

Wei Lin smiled and said, "There is a prescription that uses hollow grass as the main ingredient. It is hard to find in the market in Guangling Prefecture, but it should be available in the film market."

Fang Xun, who was behind them, listened to their conversation but did not interrupt.

After he defeated Lady Ye Di, he obtained a bundle of Tianshi sandalwood and the recipe.

Lighting one when practicing internal energy will have twice the result with half the effort. The reason why Wei Lin's injury healed so quickly was due to the bundle of Tianshi sandalwood.

Sanshui County just happened to have run out of supplies, and now Fang Xun wants to get some new ones.

However, the other ingredients of Tianshi Sandalwood are all good and can be bought in Sanshui County, but the main ingredient, hollow grass, is relatively rare. He and Wei Lin plan to try their luck in the film market later.

When Jiang Bie heard that Wei Lin needed hollow grass, he said, "I still have half a plant in my house. Just ask if you need it."

Wei Lin nodded and said, "If necessary, I will not be polite to you!"

When the two were talking, Lian Zhenhai and Duan Hai in the corner of the hall were also listening.

It was not until Fang Xun and his group had left Fujiang Building for a while that the drinkers in the first-floor hall began to talk again.

Lian Zhenhai looked at Duan Hai and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Duan, Fang Xun may have mastered the secret skills of a master. Take a look at this matter."

But before he could finish his words, a third person's voice suddenly interrupted them.

"I heard that you two brothers also want to find trouble with Fang Xun. Tonight is dark and windy, which is a perfect time. Why don't we go together?"

The two of them turned around immediately and saw an ordinary-looking man in black walking up to the table.

The strange thing is that although the man's voice was very loud, it seemed that no one else in the hall could hear it.

Lian Zhenhai's eyes fixed, but Duan Hai's expression did not change. After the man in black sat down at the table, Duan Hai said, "You are so good at transmitting sound!"

When he spoke, his voice was also bounded into a line, and outsiders could not hear it at all.

'Transmitting sound into secret' requires precise control of the true energy, and it is not easy to do it at the Xiantian Tongmai realm.

Lian Zhenhai came back to his senses immediately, frowned at the man in black and said, "I haven't asked this person yet."

The man in black smiled and said, "I am Yang Tian from Kuaiji."

Duan Hai didn't react when he heard the name, but just nodded politely, while Lian Zhenhai's expression changed slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Are you Yang Tian?"

Yang Tianzai was also quite famous in Guangling Prefecture. He and his brother Yang Di were both born as independent men and were known as the Yang brothers in the martial arts world.

One of them practiced knife skills while the other practiced sword skills. They were good at combined attacks and were not afraid of meeting some masters on the Dragon and Phoenix List.

But Lian Zhenhai soon reacted and said, "I didn't expect that you, the Yang brothers, would also do such murder and robbery."

Yang Tian smiled and didn't take it seriously: "I believe that few people would not be tempted by a master's secret technique. You two don't have to doubt it. This is true. Fang Xun does have a master's secret technique!"

"It's not just us two brothers. There's also a master of Tongmai who has decided to take action tonight. We plan to take action when Fangxun leaves the film city and returns to the city. I wonder if you two..."

Lian Zhenhai's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his heart was moved, as if the master's unique skills were within his reach.

Just as he was about to respond, Duan Hai on the side suddenly said with a fake smile: "Haha, it's a bit too much to ambush him halfway when the moon is dark and the wind is strong. Besides, Fang Xun and Wei Lin are together. The three of you are no match for Wei Lin!"

Suddenly, it was like a bucket of ice water was poured over him, extinguishing the restlessness in Lian Zhenhai's heart. He frowned and looked at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was not annoyed by their attitudes and said slowly, "If I tell him, Wei Lin will leave halfway, and Fang Xun will be the only one left?"

"Ok?"

Lian Zhenhai was tempted again. If this was true, then this deal would be done!
Seeing his expression, Yang Tian continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Please give me a clear answer, are you going to do it or not?"

"Count me in!"

Lian Zhenhai no longer hesitated and lowered his voice so that only the three of them could hear it.

Yang Tian looked at Duan Hai again, waiting for his reply.

"Oh, let the four of you go and assess the quality of Fang Xun first!"

Duan Hai sneered in his heart and responded, "Let's do it!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.

It wasn't just the three of them. There were also many other drinkers in the hall who seemed to have reached an agreement.

Some anxious ones even threw some silver directly on the table, hurried out of Fujiang Building, and walked quickly towards the north of the city.
