Anthology of Gu Long: The Prodigal Son of Border Town

Chapter 8
This knife finally did not cut off!
And who knows what will happen after this knife is cut off?
Ye Kai let out a long breath, and smiled again, smiling at Hall Master Wanma.

Ma Kongqun also smiled and said: "Okay, you really have courage and guts. Is this Mr. Fu who the owner of the flower farm can't invite?"

Ye Kai hurriedly said, "That's him."

Ma Kongqun said: "Since Mr. Fu is here, I finally appreciate the honor. Please, please sit down."

Gongsun Duan suddenly looked back, staring at Ma Kongqun with piercing eyes, and said in a low voice: "His saber..."

Ma Kongqun had deep thought in his eyes, and said with a faint smile, "Now I can only see his men, but not his sword."

The meaning in the words is profound, and I don't know whether it means that the light of others has covered up his knife, or that it is his people who are really dangerous, not his knife.However, he continued to think: This pitch-black knife seems to be the same as the one many years ago...Gongsun Duan clenched his teeth tightly, and the muscles of his whole body kept beating, and suddenly stomped his feet, "clang"

Yes, the scimitar is in its sheath.

After a long time, Fu Hongxue walked in with heavy steps and sat down far away.He still held his knife tightly in his hand.

His hand was placed next to Murong Mingzhu's beautifully decorated long sword encrusted with pearls and jade.The pitch-black scabbard seemed to have overshadowed the bright pearl.

Murong Mingzhu's face has also faded, his face is blue and white, and he suddenly stands up.

Yun Zaitian's eyes flickered, Ben was paying attention to him, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency..."

Murong Mingzhu didn't wait for him to speak, and rushed to say: "Since someone can bring a sword into Wanmatang, why can't I bring a sword?"

Yun Zaitian said: "Of course, it's just..."

Murong Mingzhu said: "Just what?"

Yun Zaitian smiled lightly, and said, "I just wonder if your excellency has the courage to live with the sword and die with the sword?"

Murong Mingzhu was stunned again, her gaze slowly shifted from the indifferent smile on his face to Gongsun Duan's veined iron palm, feeling that her body was gradually stiffening.

Le Leshan has been lying on the table, seems to be intoxicated, at this moment suddenly slapped the table, laughed and said:
"Okay, good question..."

Murong Mingzhu's figure flashed, and suddenly she leaped out, reaching out to grab the sword on the table.

There was a sound of "crash, la la", and another seven swords were thrown on the table.

There are seven swords with the same ornate decoration, and seven identical gemstones on the scabbards sparkle under the lamp.

Murong Mingzhu's hand paused in mid-air, her fingers were already stiff.

Hua Mantian walked in without knowing when.There was no expression on his face, he looked at him quietly, and said lightly: "If your Excellency must wear a sword, it is better to wear these seven swords together."

Le Leshan suddenly laughed again and said: "Wanmatang in Guandong is really a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. It seems that tonight, some people may come too late to leave!"

Ma Kongqun put his hands on the table and sat there quietly, still sitting upright and straight.

No matter what happened in this place, he always seemed to stay out of it.

He didn't even look at Murong Mingzhu.

Murong Mingzhu's face was completely pale, staring at the sword on the table, after a long time, she reluctantly asked: "Where are their people?"

Hua Mantian said: "He is still there."

Yun Zaitian smiled again, and said leisurely: "It seems that there are not too many people in the world who have the courage to live and die with the sword."

Le Leshan smiled and said, "That's why smart people carry neither knives nor swords."

His man was still lying on the table, not knowing whether he was drunk or sober, he stretched out his hand to grope on the table, and murmured, "Where's the wine? Why can only swords be found in this place, but never wine?" of?"

Ma Kongqun finally laughed out loud, and said: "Okay, good question, I invite you all today for the purpose of conspiring to get drunk with you all—won't you hurry up and serve the wine?"

Le Leshan raised his head, looked at him with sleepy eyes, and said, "Is it true that if you are not drunk, you will have no return?"

Ma Kongqun said: "Exactly."

Le Leshan said: "What if I'm drunk? Can I go back?"

Ma Kongqun said: "Of course."

Le Leshan sighed, leaned his head on the table again, and murmured, "I'm relieved now... Where's the wine?"

The wine has been served.

A golden bottle, a huge toast, and the wine is emerald green.

Murong Mingzhu's face also seemed to have turned emerald green, she wondered if she should sit down?Or should we go out?
Ye Kai slapped the table suddenly, and said: "Such fine wine, such a happy gathering, how can there be no singing and music to add to the fun? I have heard for a long time that Mr. Murong is both civil and military, and has a good understanding of rhythm. I wonder if you can sing a song for us?"

Murong Mingzhu finally turned her gaze and stared at him.

Some people's smiles will never be malicious, and Ye Kai is exactly this kind of person.

Murong Mingzhu looked at him for a long time, then suddenly let out a long breath and said, "Okay!"

He picked up the giant cup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and actually hit the cup with the chopsticks, singing in a melodious voice:

"Emperor of Heaven, Emperor of Earth, with bloody eyes and no light on the moon, as soon as they enter Wanmatang, the blade will be broken and the heart will be broken."

Yun Zaitian's expression changed again.

Gongsun Duan suddenly turned around, staring at each other angrily, Tiezhang has pressed the handle of the saber again.

Only Ma Kongqun remained calm, even with an expression of admiration on his face.

Murong Mingzhu drank another cup, as if wanting to boost her courage, she said loudly: "I wonder if you have heard this slang song before?"

Ye Kai hurriedly said: "I have heard of it!"

Murong Mingzhu's eyes flickered, and said: "After hearing this, Your Excellency, what's your opinion?"

Ye Kai said with a smile: "I just think there is a very clever sentence in it."

Murong Mingzhu said: "Only one sentence?"

Ye Kai said: "Yes, there is only one sentence."

Murong Mingzhu said: "Which sentence?"

Ye Kai closed his eyes and groaned:

"The knife breaks the blade, the person breaks the heart... The knife breaks the blade, the person breaks the heart..."

He recited it twice, then suddenly opened his eyes again, glanced at Ma Kongqun from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile, "But I don't know if the hall master has also heard the magic of this?"

Ma Kongqun said indifferently: "I would like to hear a good opinion."

Ye Kaidao: "The knife breaks the blade, and the heart breaks. Why don't you say that the sword breaks the blade, but why do you say the knife breaks the blade?"

His eyes flickered, he looked at Murong Mingzhu, then at Fu Hongxue, and finally at Ma Kongqun's face.

Fu Hongxue sat there quietly, staring quietly at the knife in his hand, his pupils seemed to shrink.

Murong Mingzhu's eyes were shining, and she sat down unknowingly, a strange smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When his eyes came into contact with Ye Kai, his eyes were filled with gratitude immediately.

Flying Spider must not be a talkative person, so he can always use his eyes.

At this moment, he has made up his mind that he must make friends with Ye Kai.

"It seemed much more pleasant and easier to be his friend than his enemy."

Seeing this, Flying Spider immediately drank the glass of wine in front of him, frowned and said, "Yes, why must the knife be broken? What is the mystery of this?"

With a sullen face, Hua Mantian said coldly: "Only the person who sang this song knows the mystery of this. Everyone should ask him."

Ye Kai nodded with a smile, and said, "That makes sense, I seem to be asking the wrong person..."

Ma Kongqun suddenly smiled and said, "Your Excellency did not ask wrong."

Ye Kai's eyes flickered, and said: "Could it be that the hall master also..."

Ma Kongqun interrupted him, and said in a deep voice: "Kantong swords and horses are unparalleled in the world, I wonder if you have heard of this sentence?"

Ye Kaidao: "Kandong knife and horse?...Could it be that there is some relationship between the knife and the horse?"

Ma Kongqun said: "Not only is there a relationship, but the relationship is very deep."

Ye Kai said: "Oh!"

Ma Kongqun said: "Twenty years ago, in the martial arts world, only the Divine Sword Hall was known, but the Wanma Hall was unknown."

Ye Kaidao: "But 20 years later, only the Wanma Hall is known in the martial arts world, but the Divine Sword Hall is unknown."

The smile on Ma Kongqun's face had disappeared, and he was silent for a long time, before he let out a long sigh, and said slowly, "The person from the Shendao Hall died 19 years ago!"

Although his face was still calm, there seemed to be a deep murderous intent hidden in every wrinkle on his face, which made people shudder.

No matter who glanced at him once, they would never dare to look at him a second time.

But Ye Kai still stared at him, and asked: "But I don't know how the people in Shendaotang died?"

Ma Kongqun said: "Die by the knife!"

Le Leshan suddenly slapped the table again, and murmured: "A good swimmer drowns in water, and a master swordsman dies under someone else's knife. What the ancients said really makes sense, makes sense... What about wine?"

Ma Kongqun stared at his hand whose four fingers had been cut off with a single knife, and then continued word by word after he finished speaking: "Everyone in Shendaotang is a brother of Wanmatang, everyone has been cut off with a knife. Severing his head and dying in the ice and snow, this blood debt has never been forgotten by the brothers in Wanmatang in the past 19 years!"

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Ye Kai like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency should understand now, why must the knife be broken?"

Ye Kai didn't avoid his gaze, his expression was still very calm, he pondered, and asked again: "For 19 years, the hall master hasn't found out who the real culprit is?"

Ma Kongqun said: "No."

Ye Kaidao: "Hall Master's hand..."

Ma Kongqun said: "It was also cut off by the same knife."

Ye Kai said: "The hall master recognized the knife, but he couldn't recognize the man's face?"

Ma Kongqun said: "A knife cannot cover your face with a black scarf."

Ye Kai laughed again, and said: "That's right, if the knife is covered with a black scarf, it won't be able to kill people."

Fu Hongxue was still staring at the saber in his hand, and suddenly said coldly, "What if the saber is in its sheath?"

Ye Kai said: "With a knife in its sheath, of course it can't kill people."

Fu Hongxue said: "The knife is in the sheath, is it afraid that people will recognize it?"

Ye Kai said: "I don't know... I only know this one thing."

Fu Hongxue was listening.

Ye Kai smiled and said, "I know that if I had any involvement in the murder case 19 years ago, I would never have brought a knife into Wanmatang."

He smiled, and continued, "Unless I'm an idiot, I'd rather carry a gun and a sword than a knife."

Fu Hongxue turned his head slowly, his eyes finally shifted from the knife to Ye Kai's face, there was a strange expression in his eyes.

This was the first time he had watched someone for so long—perhaps the most solemn one!
There was alcohol in Murong Mingzhu's eyes, and she suddenly said loudly: "Fortunately, this is an old case from 19 years ago, whether you bring a knife or a sword, it doesn't matter."

Hua Mantian said coldly, "That's not necessarily true."

Murong Mingzhu said: "Everyone here, except for Mr. Le Da, was just a child 19 years ago. How could they have the ability to kill?"

Hua Mantian suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I wonder if your excellency has married?"

Murong Mingzhu apparently still couldn't figure out what he meant by asking this question, so she nodded.

Hua Mantian asked, "Do you have any children?"

Murong Mingzhu said: "One son and one daughter."

Hua Mantian said: "If you have a grudge against others, who will avenge you when you are old and powerless?"

Murong Mingzhu said: "Of course it's my son."

Hua Mantian smiled and stopped asking.

He didn't need to ask any more questions.

Murong Mingzhu was stunned for a while, then forced a smile and said, "Does your excellency suspect that some of us are descendants of those murderers?"

Hua Mantian refused to answer this sentence - refusing to answer is usually an answer.

Murong Mingzhu blushed and said: "So, does the hall master have some special intentions for inviting us here today?"

Ma Kongqun's answer was straightforward: "Yes!"

Murong Mingzhu said: "Ask me!"

Ma Kongqun said slowly: "If there are people, there must be chickens and dogs. Everyone, have you heard the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking all the way?"

Murong Mingzhu said: "No."

Ma Kongqun said: "Do you know what this is for?"

Murong Mingzhu said: "Maybe no one in this place raises chickens or dogs."

Ma Kongqun said: "How come there are no shepherd dogs and hunting dogs in the horse farm in the border town?"

Murong Mingzhu said: "Yes?"

Ma Kongqun said: "A single owner of the flower farm has raised eighteen bulldogs from Tibet."

Murong Mingzhu looked at Huamantian out of the corner of her eyes, and said coldly, "Maybe the owner of the flower farm doesn't even have a dog that can bark—a dog that bites doesn't bark at all."

Hua Mantian said with a sullen face, "There is absolutely no dog in the world that doesn't bark."

Le Leshan suddenly raised his head again, smiled and said: "There is only one kind of dog that never barks."

Hua Mantian said: "A dead dog?"

Le Leshan laughed loudly and said: "That's right, dead dogs, only dead dogs don't bark, and only dead people don't talk..."

Hua Mantian frowned and said, "What about the drunk people?"

Le Leshan said with a smile: "People who are drunk not only talk a lot, but also say annoying things."

Hua Mantian said coldly: "This is also the truth."
