Chapter 7 Knowing When You Meet in a Foreign Land
When distinguished guests come to the door, they naturally cannot stand in front of them for a long time.
After a few greetings from everyone, Wan Zhenshan turned his hand and raised his hand to invite Tiexue and Zhao Fan to come in to talk. His two disciples, Sun Jun, saw the opportunity, saw the opportunity and immediately took the lead in front of everyone.
So, accompanied by Wan Zhenshan, Tiexhou and Zhao Fan walked all the way to the courtyard. While enjoying the scenery in the courtyard, Tiexhou also fully utilized his vast advantages of friendship and had a relationship with the people in Wanfu.
"Is this junior brother named Wu Kan? Do you have a cousin Wu Liang who is listening to the lecture under the old man Hua Ku Hai Hua in the capital? When I was drinking with him before, I heard about you mentioned about you. Now you have achieved some success when you practice martial arts by the old hero Wan. Then I can also congratulate you in front of Brother Ling."
"Haha! It turns out that Master Tie Er has such a relationship with us, so we really need to be closer!"
After a few short sentences, the atmosphere of the crowd suddenly became extremely harmonious. Even if there were some embarrassment and grudges, they had already been thrown out of the sky.
Zhao Fan, who was standing by, admired such powerful communication skills as Tie Er Ge. When everyone walked through the front yard and came to the front door of the hall, the few people were chatting and laughing like old friends for decades.
"Speaking of this, it was a coincidence that Master Tie Er came here this time. At this moment, there was a distinguished guest in the mansion, who was his old friend. Just a few days ago, we just talked about Master Tie Er's heroic deeds, but we didn't expect that the real person today was right in front of us!"
Standing in front of the hall, Wan Zhenshan said with a smile on his face.
"Oh?" Tiexe asked with a blink of an eye, "It turns out that there is an old friend here, but I don't know who it is?"
"Haha, this distinguished guest is in the hall, and Iron Second Master will know if he enters."
Wan Zhenshan laughed and kept it a secret, then reached out and said, "Please!"
"Please!" Tiexhou responded with a smile, and led Zhao Fan together and followed the disciples of Wanmen into the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Zhao Fan saw the "old friend" mentioned by Wan Zhenshan at a glance.
Sitting in the host and guest seat in the hall, he was a handsome young man. This young man seemed to be no more than 30 years old, but he was extremely handsome. It seemed that even if he had not been in a high position for a long time, he was at least a powerful man.
What Zhao Fan cares more about is his hand!
That was a pair of hands holding the knife! Firm, stable, and full of introverted terrible lethality! Just judging from these hands, this person's sword technique was more than above Tian Boguang, but where did this young master suddenly come from?
Zhao Fan turned his puzzled gaze to Tie Shu, and saw that Tie Shu's face suddenly became complicated. He was silent for a while, then he strode forward and bowed with fists.
"So it's Brother Xi!"
"Catcher Iron Second!"
When the young man on the seat saw Tie Hand, his face changed a lot, but in the end he stood up and bowed back and forth.
After a gift, neither of them spoke, and stood in the hall and looked at each other silently. No matter how they looked, they did not look like the so-called "old friends".
Seeing this scene, Wan Zhenshan, who was smiling just now, couldn't help but look surprised. He didn't know what story had happened between these two distinguished guests. However, Zhao Fan, who was standing by, had already guessed the identity of the "Brother Xi".
Sure enough, after a while of the cold, Iron Hand took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Junior Brother Zhao, let me introduce you to you. This brother Xi is the owner of Xijiazhuang, a famous martial arts clan across the Hujiang River. The 'Broken Dream Sky Knife' Xiqiuya."
"It turned out that it was the owner of the Manor Xi who admired him for a long time!"
Zhao Fan smiled and went up to greet him, confirming his guess at the same time.
——This young man is indeed Xi Qiuya from Xijiazhuang. Only he can make Tie Shu’s face show such a complicated look!
At that time, the Tang Sect in Sichuan infiltrated martial arts families in various places, trying to expand their power, and created a large number of tragedies in various places. Tie Hand and cold-blooded pass by Cross-Hujiang River and were involved in the "Dream Breakup Knife". Although the Tang Sect's conspiracy was finally solved and the Tang Sect's warrior Tang Si was shocked, but Xi Xiaofeng, the owner of Xijiazhuang at that time, was crazy because of excessive mental pressure, and launched a cruel killing of his relatives. Not only did he kill his biological son Qiuqiu, he also wanted to kill his brother and sister, and kill Guancha. It was not until a coincidence that Xi Qiuya, the second young master of Xijiazhuang, successfully cracked the secret of the "Dreakup Knife". With its surge in power, he killed the crazy elder brother Xi Xiaofeng.
In that tragic case, Tie Shou had saved Xi Qiuya's life several times and helped him regain the ancestral property of Xijiazhuang. However, at the end of the matter, Xiao Zhen, a woman who Xi Qiuya loved deeply, fell in love with Tie Shou and floated away with Tie Shou.
For Xi Qiuya, Tie Hand has been very grateful to him for a lifetime; for Tie Hand, he felt guilty about Xi Qiuya.
Although the two did not get into evil, they still felt a little embarrassed once they met. Fortunately, they were all figures with identities, and they quickly adjusted their moods. After saying a few words to each other, the atmosphere on the scene became warm again, which made Wan Zhenshan, who were watching, breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
As the "little brother" who followed Tie Shuo to the door, Zhao Fan was very upright about his positioning and did not join the conversation between these martial arts celebrities. While everyone was chatting, he just kept smiling and nodded from time to time. When someone was talking to him, he responded briefly a few times and never became the focus of the conversation.
Compared to these unnutritious conversations, what interested Zhao Fan more was actually Xi Qiuya.
In Zhao Fan's impression, this owner of Xi Er can be regarded as having an average martial arts skills. Not only is he far inferior to the iron hand, but he is not even as good as a captain in a place like Guo Qiufeng.
Although he finally killed his brother, Zhao Fan knew that 50% of this record was due to surprise, and the other 50% were due to the power of the "Dream Breaking Sword" magic weapon, which was not the strength he should have. However, a few years have passed, and the owner of Xi Er, who had mediocre martial arts, had already made the title of "Dream Breaking Sword" and had led Xijiazhuang to become a powerful man again.
Zhao Fan thought that this was probably based on the name of magic weapons, but he didn't expect that at first sight, Xi Qiuya's martial arts were far beyond his imagination. Obviously, in these few years, this person must have worked hard, completely erased the habits of the playboy, successfully understood the essence of swordsman, and became a master of swordsman who should not be underestimated.
Through the clues observed since the meeting, Zhao Fan could probably speculate that even if he did not use the magic weapon, the owner of Xi Er would definitely be able to cut Tian Boguang under the knife within twenty moves... or even ten moves.
And if you use the "Dream Breaking Sword" that once created a martial arts legend decades ago, how strong will the young man in front of you be? Will he defeat him with the "baby" in the box?
Thinking of this, Zhao Fan couldn't help but feel particularly interesting.
Think about it, as a supporting role with low martial arts skills in the original work, can shine with its own efforts, how can this world not surprise people?
"Hey, by the way! This is the world I want! If everything goes unchanged and follows what is written in the book, then what is the meaning of this world?"
Zhao Fan thought to himself, and heard the conversation between Tiexue and others, and finally slowly got to the point.
"Tie Erye, I wonder what important things are there for you to come to Jingzhou? But if you have something that I can help, you can give me the worries of the court and do your best to the justice of the martial arts world."
Halfway through the conversation, Wan Zhenshan first mentioned the serious matter. As soon as he opened his mouth, he patted his chest to express his loyalty.
In such a scene, there is naturally not even a 10% credibility, but in any case, this is Wan Zhenshan who expressed his attitude. Tie Hand smiled slightly and thought to himself that this old fox is worthy of being a local domineering person. It turns out that he knows the general and knows advance and retreat, and nods immediately.
"To be honest, Junior Brother Zhao and I are indeed here for business." Tiexhou said, "At the end of last month, Zhang and Li, the two generals of Jiangling Prefecture, were killed and died one after another. The court was furious and sent us to investigate."
"This time I came to visit the old hero Wan's mansion to meet the local martial arts fellows in Jingzhou, and on the other hand, I also wanted to inquire about the news from the old hero Wan. As a martial arts celebrity in Jingzhou, Mr. Wan must be well-informed. Is there any news about the murder of the two generals?"
"Well..." Wan Zhenshan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Tie Hand's words, and then frowned as if he was thinking hard.
"Well... Our local martial arts colleagues in Jingzhou were also quite shocked by this. Mr. Pang, Taoist Master Shi He and others had inquired about the news, but they could not find any clues."
"Huh?" Tie Shou asked with a frown, "Even the Angry Gang and the Wudang Sect can't find any news?"
"Yes." Wan Zhenshan sighed and smiled bitterly while stroking his beard.
"Actually, there is a reason for this. Originally, with the staff of the Noriyao Gang and the Wudang Sect, what can I find? Unfortunately, in the past two months, Jingzhou City has been in chaos. Many martial arts people from all over the world have flocked to the city, causing the situation in the city to be in chaos. So in my opinion, they should not have found anything, but there are too many suspicious places and there is no way to investigate. As for the murder of the two generals... I can only say that there are too many faces in the city now, and no matter who takes the action, it is possible."
"So that's it." Tie Hand nodded, "But, is there such chaos in Jingzhou now?"
"Yes, it's just so messy." Wan Zhenshan said with a wry smile. "Now there are people in the martial arts world everywhere in the city. Even the Longsha Gang and the Nujiao Gang have to shrink their strength. Since the beginning of last month, people have been hit by the door. As a last resort, they invited the owner of Xi Zhuang. It was called a guest, but in fact it was a helping boxing. It really made me lose my face."
"Oh?" Hearing Wan Zhenshan's words, Tie Hand turned his gaze to the direction of Xi Qiu Cliff.
Only Xi Qiuya nodded affirmatively and recognized Wan Zhenshan's statement.
