Pawn Crossing the River

When they arrived in the bustling city, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so Qi Xuansu simply dismounted and led the horse.

As he was walking, Qi Xuansu suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder. With Qi Xuansu's current level of cultivation, and having received part of the alchemist's inheritance, his spiritual sense is keen. Even in a busy city, he can move forward and retreat freely. He was tapped on the shoulder by someone close to him without realizing it, but he was not like this. reason.

Qi Xuansu looked back in surprise. He was an old man about the age of knowing his destiny. He had neat white hair and white beard, and his expression was a little old-fashioned and serious.

"Golden knife?" the visitor asked in a low voice.

Qi Xuansu suddenly realized that this was a customer coming to his door.

"Who is your Excellency?" Qi Xuansu asked.

"Let's talk somewhere else." The old man walked towards the Taiping Inn not far away first.

Qi Xuansu hesitated slightly and followed the old man.

When they arrived at the inn, a waiter helped Qi Xuansu take care of the horses. Qi Xuansu followed the old man straight to the second floor.

The old man seemed to be a regular customer here, and he gestured to the waiter: "Old rules, two people."

"Okay." The waiter responded loudly and went downstairs.

The second floor is a private room, which is separated, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed by others. The old man got straight to the point: "You can call me 'Bodhisattva Man'."

While talking, the old man took out a golden and purple fish charm from his sleeve to prove his identity.

Qi Xuansu looked at the golden and purple fish talisman carefully and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

"Qiniang once showed me your photo, so I recognize you. It's a coincidence. I go here to have a drink every day, and I look like you from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be true." The old man replied.

Qi Xuansu didn't even know when he took the photo and it was still in Qiniang's hands. However, Qiniang had done too many things without telling him. He already had too many debts to worry about and no need to worry about too many lice. Let him be.

The Bodhisattva said again: "You came later than I expected."

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "I encountered some accidents on the road. It was also my fault. I provoked the people from the 'Tian Ting' and was chased all the way by Uncle Feng. I almost died in his hands."

Bodhisattva Man heard the words and looked Qi Xuansu up and down: "But you are still doing well. You can escape from Uncle Feng. You must have some real skills, and you are recommended by Qiniang. This human escort should be a good choice for you." It’s not difficult.”

Qi Xuansu asked: "Qiniang has already told me about this matter. It involves a major case in Jiangnan, so I don't dare to be careless. I wonder if he is an assassin from the 'inn'?"

"Qiniang also told you about the 'inn'?" A trace of surprise flashed in Bodhisattva's eyes.

Qi Xuansu said truthfully: "I have met the assassin who was responsible for the finishing touches at the 'Inn'."

Bodhisattva nodded and said thoughtfully: "This matter has nothing to do with the 'inn', but the people behind the scenes are probably afraid of leaving traces and dare not use their own people rashly. They just keep hiring 'guests'

Stack’s assassin. These assassins are not members of the 'Inn', but are just people who make a living in the 'Inn'. "

Qi Xuansu nodded, which was consistent with the assassination of Zhang Yuelu.

While they were talking, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.

Qi Xuansu glanced at them casually. They were all simple dishes to go with wine, and there was nothing much to say. The key is wine. This is not the popular rice wine in the south of the Yangtze River, nor the popular red wine in the West, but the authentic white wine. The mud seal has been opened, and the spicy smell has already hit your face. People who don't know how to drink will get drunk just by smelling it.

The wine cup was not used, but a large bowl.

This is Zhang Yuelu's favorite, but not Qi Xuansu's favorite. If Qi Xuansu doesn't rely on his true energy to resist the alcohol, he will even get drunk. However, after he gained the physique of a martial artist, his drinking capacity increased greatly. Not only did he not get drunk after a thousand drinks, but he still weighed a few kilograms.

Bodhisattva Man personally poured a bowl of wine for Qi Xuansu.

Then Bodhisattva filled another bowl for himself and raised it towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to pick up the wine bowl, touch it with the Bodhisattva, and swallowed the wine in one gulp. He only felt a burning sensation, which spread to his entire chest and abdomen, and even burned his throat.

Bodhisattva Man also took a gulp and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, happy."

Qi Xuansu shook his head and was about to speak when he heard a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the next room, and then a man yelled and seemed to fall out of the window.

Qi Xuansu stood up and looked out the window, and saw a man getting up in a panic. He was not injured, but looked a little gray.

Then I heard this man shouting and cursing upstairs: "You lame Zhou, you don't have martial ethics, come and attack me."

A voice sounded from next door: "Are you not convinced? If you have the ability, come up and fight again."

The man at the bottom obviously suffered a loss and refused to go up. He said loudly: "Why don't you come down?"

"you come up."

"get down."

"Come up if you can."

"Come down if you can."

Qi Xuansu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Just as the two were fighting, the inn's waiter finally came forward and said loudly: "You want to cause trouble, and you don't even look at where this place is?"

Other restaurants and inns, of course, do not have such a big tone, but this is Taiping Inn, which is a Taoist property. It can be found in all major towns in the world, even Yujing and Imperial Capital are no exception. The post of general manager of Taiping Inn is usually held by a He is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and his status is not low. Naturally, he has such confidence. Even the guys are not afraid of these high-rollers.

But today we encountered a tough problem.

The man didn't dare to go upstairs, but he didn't take the little boy seriously. He jumped in front of the boy and reached out to grab the boy's shoulder.

Although the Taiping Inn is the property of the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect even allows Taoist disciples with grades to serve as innkeepers.

, usually a Taoist disciple is appointed as the shopkeeper, and it is recognized as a job for people with money but no power, and promotion is difficult, so this guy is just an ordinary Taoist with no cultivation, and he can't move immediately.

The man pinched the back of the waiter's neck with his hands, forced his head over, and whispered evil words in his ear: "You know where this place is, isn't it the Taiping Inn? Isn't it amazing? You can do it now You can go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to file a complaint and ask them to dispatch a spiritual officer to kill you."

The waiter was a little scared, and his neck was strangled by the back again. The words squeezed out of his throat were already very awkward: "You, you..."

"What am I!" The man let go of the man's neck and slapped the man hard in the face with his backhand. He spun around three times and then staggered to the ground.

Look at the force of this slap, at least the eardrum cannot be saved.

The Bodhisattva, who had been drinking, slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the table: "Where did the birdman come from? I thought it was just making noise, but I didn't expect it to be an evil bird."

After saying that, he got up.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Brother, let's drink for now, I'll go take care of it."

Before Bodhisattva could answer, Qi Xuansu jumped down from the building.

What he says is unfounded, and seeing is believing. He always has to show his hands in front of his customers so that they can trust him and trust him. This is the opportunity before him.

When the man saw Qi Xuansu coming forward, he didn't take it seriously and said, "Why, this young boy wants to be a hero who draws out his sword to help when there is an injustice? He must have read too many words."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What is your name?"

"Want to get a feel for me? Remember, I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname. Xu Changwu of Longmen Mansion. You can ask around the world. In this three-acre land of Longmen Mansion, who doesn't know me, Xu Changwu?" The voice said Before he fell, Xu Changwu was already moving, his figure soared into the air, and his left leg swept out, as if a hurricane was passing by.

Before the onlookers could even react, the strong wind suddenly stopped, and when they looked again, they saw that Xu Changwu's kick had been grasped by Qi Xuansu's bare hands.

To be fair, Xu Changwu dared to be arrogant, and he still had some real ability. The power of this kick was really not small, comparable to Zhuge Yongming's punch. However, Qi Xuansu has long been different from what he used to be. His cultivation level in the return to the truth stage, even without the parts of a martial artist and an alchemist Inheritance can be easily inherited with just Sanren's Qi.

Sanren are weak, but not so weak as to be inferior to a Yuxu warrior.

Xu Changwu didn't expect that one of his legs would be caught by Qi Xuansu. He couldn't help but let out a strange scream, twisted his body, raised his right foot high, and struck it down with all his strength like a big axe.

As a result, Qi Xuansu held his legs with both hands, and his whole body was lifted up in the air.

Qi Xuansu smiled faintly, made a circular motion with his hands, and threw Xu Changwu directly. He saw that Xu Changwu's body was like a top, and his bones turned into a rolling gourd.

When he stopped, Xu Changwu's face turned pale, with fear in his eyes.
