Aspirations

Chapter 129

Zheng Hao was very dissatisfied and returned Xu Heguang's unfriendly look, but he stopped talking to Xu Heguang, and stepped aside.After walking a few steps, he remembered something again, came to Xia Xiang's side, and whispered a few words.

Xia Xiang nodded and smiled, but did not speak.Zheng Haoxi's expression turned pale, and he squeezed into the crowd.Xu Heguang was stunned, Zheng Hao and Xia Xiang were plotting something bad, Zheng Hao didn't stay to watch the fun, why did he leave?

Xu Heguang was then whetted by Xia Xiang's weird behavior. He saw Xia Xiang coming to Yan Hao's side and whispered something to Yan Hao. Yan Hao's calm and proud expression suddenly changed. !

What surprised Xu Heguang even more was that Yan Hao's face was terrified, and there was a bit of panic. He turned his head and looked around the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

No, Xia Xiang cheated, and Xu Heguang was terrified.Although he didn't know what Xia Xiang said to Zheng Hao and Yan Hao, he was certain that Xia Xiang must be planning something.The same goes for Yan Hao, why did he panic and lose his position at such a critical moment? He never thought about it. Xia Xiang's cunning must be intentional...

Without waiting for Xu Heguang to think any more, Cao Shujun cupped his fist at Xia Xiang: "Master Xia, can we start?"

Xia Xiang said, "Yes."

As soon as Xia Xiang finished speaking, Cao Shujun yelled: "Gao Jianyuan, I will fight you today! Stand still and see if I don't kill you."

Gao Jianyuan almost laughed out loud, his face turned cold, and he immediately raised the knife in his hand and stabbed Cao Shujun in the chest.Unexpectedly, Cao Shujun rushed forward seemingly aggressively, halfway through the run, suddenly stopped, turned around and rushed into the crowd.

Gao Jianyuan was taken aback, what kind of tricks did Cao Shujun play?He stood still, because he knew that Yan Hao was the best at catching people in the crowd.He didn't want to take a look, but saw Yan Hao standing on the spot, motionless, as if he was stupid.

Of course Yan Hao was not stupid, the reason why he didn't move was not only because Man Tuo stood a foot away from him with his sword in his hands, which made him feel the boundless coercion, and he didn't dare to move a little bit.Mantuo's murderous aura diffused like a cloud, lingering around his body like a shadow and everywhere, making him dare not make a slight movement, for fear that if he moved a finger, his flaws would be exposed.

Although he had fought against Mantuo before, Yan Hao still couldn't believe that Mantuo's martial arts were so high that he could feel such a huge oppression.Of course, it doesn't matter if it's just Mantuo, no matter how good Mantuo's martial arts are, he thinks he can still contain Mantuo within two hundred moves, even if he can't win, he won't be defeated.It was mainly because Xia Xiang told him in a low voice just now that Man Tuo's master was hiding in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to attack him.

Yan Hao naturally didn't know who Mantuo's master was, and he had never heard of Mantuo's master Lin Shuitian's name.However, he is in awe of Lin Shangxian, who ranks first in the top ten masters of the Great Xia, who can't see his head and tail. Xia Xiang said that Lin Shangxian is a nickname, and Lin Shangxian's real name is Lin Shuitian, and he is Mantuo's mentor.

In fact, if Xia Xiang just said it casually, Yan Hao naturally wouldn't believe it, but he just thought of the flying kick in the carriage just now, but Shenlong couldn't help but not believe it when he saw the kick and saw no one.

The saying of the top ten masters in the Great Xia has a long history, but no one can fully say who the top ten masters are.But Lin Shangxian, who is ranked first, is recognized as the number one master of the Great Xia, but just like the other masters of the top ten masters of the Great Xia, he only hears his name but does not see him.

Yan Hao once suspected that the theory of the top ten masters in Daxia might just be a prank made up by a bored person, but the rumors became true over time, and even he was listed as one of the top ten masters. His firm belief is also the reason why he can increase his status as one of the top ten masters.

If Lin Shangxian was really hiding in the crowd, Yan Hao recalled Man Tuo's abilities, and knew in his heart that he was definitely not Lin Shangxian's opponent.What's more, Linshang Immortal is in the dark, he is in the light, and he has to face the threat from Mantuo head-on, facing the enemy on his back makes him feel like a light on his back, he dare not slack off for fear of being attacked from behind.

Even though he couldn't sense the aura emanating from an expert behind him, and suspected that Xia Xiang was deceiving him, Yan Hao still didn't dare to take it lightly. He didn't even dare to take the initiative to fight, let alone fight side by side with Gao Jianyuan.Because Manta's expression was too calm and calm, like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Yan Hao decided to stop with silence, as long as he doesn't move, he can always take the lead. Anyway, Gao Jianyuan has a [-]-[-] chance of winning against Cao Shujun.It's just that what he never expected was that things changed far faster than he imagined.

It was far beyond Gao Jianyuan's imagination.

After Cao Shujun slipped into the crowd, Gao Jianyuan saw that Yan Hao didn't care to lend a helping hand, so he stopped waiting for Yan Hao, stood in the field with his arms around his shoulders, and smiled coldly: "Cao Shujun, if you have the ability, you will always be like a mouse." Just keep hiding, Captain Ben has enough patience to wait for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujuan suddenly rushed out from the crowd, raised his hand and threw it, and a black mass flew straight towards Gao Jianyuan's face.Gao Jianyuan snorted coldly: "Small tricks!"

With a random wave of the knife in his hand, he knocked aside the thing Cao Shujun threw, and it turned out to be a dirty shoe.I don't know which beggar's feet it was taken off, it was filthy and smelly.

Gao Jianyuan was furious, being so humiliated and molested by Cao Shujun, his heart suddenly felt murderous, he stepped forward, and took Cao Shujun's head straight with a knife.Unexpectedly, just as he raised the knife, a chill suddenly flew towards his throat accompanied by a sharp whistling.

You don't need to look at Gao Jianyuan to know that Mantuo made the move.It's just that he didn't expect that when Man Tuo was fighting Yan Hao, he still had the strength to throw a knife at him.

In the battle of masters, the victory or defeat is often only in the breath.Man Tuo flew a saber at Gao Jianyuan, Yan Hao got the first chance, immediately straightened his body, moving like a rabbit, he was about to jump forward, wanting to strike first.Because when Man Tuo raised the throwing knife with his right hand, the front door opened wide, revealing a flaw, if he doesn't make a move now, when will he wait?
Just as Yan Hao took the first step, he felt a bone-chilling chill hit his back, no good, could it be that Mantuo's master Lin Shangxian made the move?It must be. Thinking about it this way, how could he dare to shoot at Mantuo again, he hurriedly swung his body, not daring to catch the attacking thing behind him, but jumped up and dodged a zhang away.

The object behind him fell to the ground with a bang, and was shattered, and the fragments splashed all over Yan Hao.

It was ice cubes!

No wonder it feels chilly, it's strange that there is no chill in such a large piece of ice.Yan Hao felt angry, and took a closer look, it was the number one expert Lin Shangxian who threw ice cubes at him, it was clearly Zheng Hao and Zheng Tongpan with a narrow smile on his face.

"Zheng Tongpan, what do you mean?" Yan Hao couldn't get angry, although he wished to kill Zheng Hao with a knife, he still didn't dare to point the knife at Zheng Hao, after all, Zheng Hao was an official of the court.

"Of course it's a joke." Zheng Hao clapped his hands and breathed into the palms of his hands, "I heard that Taiwei Yan is one of the top ten masters in Daxia. I was curious for a while, so I wanted to test Taiwei Yan's skills." ..."

In the middle of speaking, Zheng Hao suddenly exclaimed: "No, Taiwei Yan, there is a sneak attack behind you."

Yan Hao didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and saw that there was nothing behind him, where was anyone?Only then did he realize that he had been duped by Zheng Haozhi, and he was angry and angry, but he couldn't care less about dealing with Zheng Hao anymore, because of this, Mantuo had already made three moves to Gao Jianyuan one after another!

No, Yan Hao suddenly woke up at this time, he was not only fooled by Zheng Haozhi, but also Xia Xiangzhi.Zheng Hao's act of throwing ice was to cooperate with Mantuo's attack on Gao Jianyuan. Needless to say, Xia Xiang must be behind the scenes.In today's matter, Xia Xiang's main target is not him, but Gao Jianyuan.

No matter what, Gao Jianyuan can't be injured. Yan Hao figured this out, was startled, and jumped towards Gao Jianyuan, wanting to help Gao Jianyuan, but it was too late!
When Mantuo threw a throwing knife at him, Gao Jianyuan no longer cared about attacking Cao Shujun. His martial arts were much worse than Yanhao's, and he was far from Mantuo's opponent.Before the flying knives arrived, the killing intent was already rushing towards him. He didn't dare to be careless, he waved the knife in his hand, and blocked the flying knives with one blow.

Originally thought it would be a "ding", but unexpectedly it was a "poof", Gao Jianyuan couldn't help thinking in his astonishment that the flying knife used by Mantuo was not made of fine steel. A spray of slippery stuff hit his face.

It turned out that the hidden weapon Mantuo issued was not a flying knife, but an egg.As soon as the egg was broken, the egg white and yolk splashed Gao Jianyuan's face all over.Unexpectedly, two piercing sounds of "嗖,嗖" came, and Mantuo flew out two hidden weapons towards his left and right shoulders.

It's not an egg, is it?A strange thought flashed in Gao Jianyuan's mind. Is Mantuo seriously fighting him or playing tricks on him?But he still didn't dare to be negligent, he dodged and dodged, only to find that the two hidden weapons of Mantuo were actually two radishes.

Just teasing him, right?Gao Jianyuan's heart was on fire, he flew up, and stabbed Mantuo in the head.He was in the air, but suddenly realized something was wrong, Cao Shujun got another pot of oil from nowhere, and poured it on his head.

Gao Jianyuan had used all his strength to stab Mantuo in the head, but he had no more energy left to attack Cao Shujun, so he had to forcefully turn his body in mid-air, avoiding the pot of oil that fell from his head, and thought extremely angrily in his heart, Cao Shujun, you rascal, the next Taiwei will definitely want you to look good.

He dodged the oil, but he couldn't dodge Mantuo's lightning-fast strike.Just now Mantuo's continuous firing of hidden weapons was just a false move, to buy time for Cao Shujun.She didn't dodge or dodge, blocked the long sword in her hand, and abruptly received Gao Jianyuan's blow with all her strength.

When the swords and swords met, Gao Jianyuan felt a strong force coming, and the knife in his hand almost flew out, he couldn't help being surprised, Man Tuo, a delicate lady, how could she have such strength?Just thinking about it, I saw a faint smile on Mantuo's icy face, and then her figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost.

what happens?Gao Jianyuan's eyes widened, unable to believe what had just happened.If it was Yan Hao, he would definitely recognize that Mantuo's movement technique just now was the rumored unique secret skill of Immortal Lin Shangxian.Immortal shadow art, as the name suggests, means that immortals cannot be found, and it has the meaning of carrying shadows with them. It can be said that a person's body skills are as fast as an immortal traveling in the dark sea.

At the moment Gao Jianyuan was stunned, an ominous premonition flashed in his heart. Before he could turn around, a huge pain came from his back, and he was kicked by Mantuo.

Gao Jianyuan was secretly lucky, his figure dropped rapidly, and landed on the ground, trying to defuse Mantuo's kick with his sinking force.He didn't want his feet to hit the ground, but he couldn't stand still—the oil splashed by Cao Shujun was all over the ground, and he stepped on the oil like skating on ice.

Gao Jianyuan tried to stabilize his figure, but it was useless. What made him even more angry was that Cao Shujun appeared again, grabbed a handful of chicken feathers, and waved at him.Chicken feathers fluttered in the wind, like flakes of snow, covering him, making him unable to see his surroundings clearly.There were also chicken feathers on his neck, which itched like hell, and chicken feathers that blocked his nose and kept him from breathing.

Gao Jianyuan jumped around with his feet and grabbed his hands, but he couldn't stand still and couldn't hold on. Finally, he fell to the ground with a "plop" and fell on his back.That's not counting, the momentum remained undiminished, he slid on the ground for more than a foot, passed through the railing, and fell headlong into the rolling Hutuo River.

"it is good!"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then burst into applause.Gao Jianyuan's antics and embarrassment made the onlookers laugh out loud. The people didn't care what high-ranking officials they were, and they didn't care whether Gao Jianyuan was a soldier of the third prince. They just felt that Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao were too deceitful. Now that they fell into the river, they felt very relieved. .

When Yan Hao rushed forward, Gao Jianyuan had already fallen into the water.He didn't care about fighting Man Tuo again, and he didn't care about killing Cao Shujun, he tiptoed, jumped into the air, jumped directly over the railing, and jumped into the river.

Saving Gao Jianyuan is the top priority.Although Gao Jianyuan can swim, he injured his arm after all.As for Man Tuo's vengeance and Cao Shujun's grievance, it will not be too late to report it later.

The bridge was more than three feet away from the river, and when Yan Hao fell into the water, he suddenly heard Cao Shujun's sneering voice: "Baduo Chiqian, Taiwei Yan, be careful to be bitten by the bastard in the river. Come on, benlang Good man, if you do it to the end, I will give you something to feed the bastard."

Yan Hao knew it was wrong, and wanted to escape but it was too late, there was a loud crash, eggs, vegetable leaves, and all kinds of garbage fell from the sky, and they just landed on his head, not to mention the egg whites and skins were all over his head, and his face was still stained. It's full of sticky stuff that doesn't know what, it's fishy and smelly, and it's extremely disgusting.

Before Xia Xiang came to the railing, he saw that Gao Jianyuan was swimming towards the shore with the help of Yan Hao, and there was no fear of drowning, so he immediately felt relieved and said loudly: "Since Gao Taiwei and Yan Hao lost so embarrassingly, we can't wait for you to lose." I am really sorry to ask the two of you to compensate the people for their losses. Considering that you two are guests from afar, and that the people have always been simple, this official will waive the compensation for the two of you..."

"My lord will compensate all the fathers and folks for their losses. Come on, everyone agrees." Cao Shujuan was in a good mood. As soon as he avenged the humiliation he suffered at the gate of Xingwang's mansion for today's incident, he took out the money and coins he had with him. , Distributed to the onlookers, "Those who have damaged things will be compensated three times. Those who have not lost things will also be rewarded."

The crowd applauded loudly and stepped forward to collect the money.Cao Shujun laughed loudly: "To be happy in life is to be happy to the fullest, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone..."

Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao fell into the water, Zheng Hao acted nonchalantly, and didn't take a second look, but it scared Cheng Daotong, Xu Heguang and Li Heng.Cheng Daotong gave Xia Xiang a hard look: "Xia Xianzun, if something happens to Gao Taiwei and Yan Taiwei, I will definitely give you a book."

Xu Heguang also said complainingly: "Master Xia, this matter is too reckless, and the next official will definitely sue you in front of Master Cui."

Xia Xiang smiled lightly: "Cheng Tongzhi, Xu Xiancheng, please go ahead."

Li Heng hesitated for a moment, then said earnestly: "Master Xia, what happened today is indeed a bit abrupt. I hope you will act more cautiously and less impulsively in the future. By the way, Master Cui asked me and Cheng Tongzhi to go The county government, tell Zhending County the order of Zhending Prefecture, and order Zhending County to settle the Fuke case within three days!"

With such a solemn report, is Cui Fuzun determined to kill Fu Ke's case?It can be seen that the forces involved behind the Fuke case have begun to take action.

Xia Xiang nodded and said: "I would like to follow Cui's orders."

Li Heng wanted to say something more, but he just shook his head. Anyway, the words had already been brought, so there was no need to go to the county office again, so he turned and left immediately.Although it was not his fault that Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao fell into the water, he was also there, so he still had to put on a show to let Master Cui know that he also cared about the safety of Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao.
