- Chapter 14 Challenge
Xiao Yuesheng smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be embarrassed on his face and clasped his fists: "Brothers, you are making fun of me!"
Song Tinghe, wearing a black suit with a smile on his face, came up and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Okay, Yihan, you were hiding it from me when you were drinking yesterday, so you have become a bodyguard!"
"This escort chief is just the encouragement given to me by the chief escort chief. I can't take it seriously." Xiao Yuesheng said apologetically.
"The escort is the escort, how come you can't take it seriously?!" Song Tinghe stared, shook his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Yihan, don't be so worthless and act like a escort!"
"Okay," Xiao Yuesheng nodded helplessly, puffed out his chest reluctantly, and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Brother Song."
"We brothers, how can we say thank you?!" Song Tinghe smiled heartily.
"Tou Xiao, I heard that you got one hundred taels of silver?" One of them said with a smile. He was tall and strong, with thick hands and feet, bright eyes, and extraordinary momentum.
"It's also a reward from the chief escort." Xiao Yuesheng nodded. This big man's name is Chen Jianzhou. He is from Fuzhou and has extraordinary skills. Among the eight, he has the strongest martial arts.
¡°Then should we treat everyone to a drink?!¡± Chen Jianzhou chuckled.
"That's natural. When I go to Qingfeng Tower in the evening, I'll treat you all to a drink." Xiao Yuesheng nodded and said solemnly.
"Okay! It's refreshing!" Chen Jianzhou clapped his hands and smiled, turned around and said to everyone: "Then let's save our stomachs and give him a good meal! But there is no need for Qingfeng Tower, let's go to Lao Cai's place outside the city. Just a hotel!¡±
¡°Okay¡ª¡ª!¡± Everyone responded loudly.
"The wine at Lao Cai's place is really good." Xiao Yuesheng hugged his fists and said goodbye.
After entering the escort office, we went to the west yard and found the escort leader Ji who was busy running around. There was a escort about to be sent out. The escort leader Ji was directing several escort leaders and escorts to make preparations beforehand. What a joy.
Seeing Xiao Yuesheng coming over, he put down what he was doing, walked over, and said warmly: "It's Mr. Xiao, the chief escort. The chief escort wants you to rest for a few days first, so as not to cause any further trouble from the injury. After the injury is fully healed, he can let you go. You escort."
When the waiters saw him coming, they all rolled their eyes and looked at him, either jealously or enviously, with warm eyes.
Guard Ji turned his head, glared at them, and shouted: "Stop looking around and being naughty, hurry up and do your thing!"
Everyone was a little afraid of him, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and went about their work.
"Thank you, Chief Escort, for your concern. My injuries are all healed and I can go out as an escort." Xiao Yuesheng said hurriedly, as if he was eager to show off.
He knew in his heart that Lin Zhennan must have said this because he saw Xiao Yihan's low ability and didn't want him to serve as an escort, but was afraid that he would hurt his self-esteem.
"Don't be brave. Since the chief escort said so, you should rest for a few more days and recover from your injuries. It won't be too late to contribute to the escort agency again!" Commander Ji said gently and patted him on the shoulder.
"Thenokay." Xiao Yuesheng pretended to be unhappy, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Go to the accountant and get the money, buy some delicious food and go back. Take good care of yourself. There is no need to come back in a hurry to help."
Xiao Yuesheng nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Then boy, please leave first."
"Go ahead." Ji Biaotou smiled and waved his hand.
Xiao Yuesheng turned around and left the west courtyard. He went to the east courtyard to find Mr. Huang, the accountant, and first withdrew thirty taels of silver in preparation for the treat.
After leaving Fuwei Escort Agency, he did not go home directly, but walked around Fuzhou City first.
Although Xiao Yihan is also from Fuzhou, he has practiced martial arts hard according to the secrets since he was a child and worked behind closed doors. He really has not taken a good look at Fuzhou City, where he was born and raised. In his impression, Fuzhou City is a blur, except for a few places that are quite interesting. His impression was that he had never been to the famous Qingfeng Tower.
The sun was still bright at this time, not as scorching as at noon, and the city was bustling with people and traffic.
He shuttles freely among the crowd, like a fish swimming in the water, relaxed and at ease. When he walks, he is like flowing clouds and flowing water, floating and unrestrained.
He couldn't bear to always play Xiao Yihan, so he would be himself when no one was around, with a free and easy figure and a leisurely demeanor.
For half an hour, he walked around a few streets, then returned to his home and continued to practice martial arts hard.
The advancement of Tianlei Jue is very fast, but the Nine Turns Yijin Jue is still slow, the advancement is subtle, and there is no immediate effect.
But when he entered a calm state, he could faintly notice that the meridians were constantly expanding and strengthening. Although the amplitude was slight, it continued continuously.The enhancement is now far beyond that of ordinary people.
I practiced the Nine Turns of Changing Tendons formula again, then sat cross-legged on the couch, pinched the formula, closed my eyes, entered a state of concentration, and practiced the Heavenly Thunder technique.
There was silence in the house, and you could detect the drop of a needle. The breeze blew past the plum branches under the west window, and you could hear the sound. His breathing was vague and seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the ups and downs of his chest and abdomen.
Unknowingly, there was a faint whistling sound in the house, like the biting wind in the cold winter. Slowly, the wind became stronger and the whistling sound became louder. Later, it seemed to be muffled thunder mixed in. Although it was not loud, it was powerful. people.
This is the sound of his breathing. The whistling sound seems to be coming from his abdomen instead of his nasal cavity. It seems to be far away in the horizon, out of reach, and suddenly approaching, right in front of his eyes. The distance is constantly changing and unpredictable.
At noon, he did not sit down to eat, but kept sitting on the couch in meditation. Every half an hour, his breathing would make a dull whistling sound, like spring thunder rolling faintly in the distant sky.
As the sun sets, the warm sunlight shines on the window, reflecting the room in orange. On the bed, his face is purple and looming.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and two purple lightning flashes disappeared, and he released his fingers with both hands, and got out of the seat.
Standing in front of the window, he flicked his right hand, and the window was pushed open from the air. Fresh air suddenly poured in, with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Although he hasn¡¯t eaten yet, he doesn¡¯t feel hungry. He is used to being served by others. Suddenly, he has to cook for himself. Even after so many days, he still feels unaccustomed.
He took a few breaths, turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Er, footsteps outside the courtyard gradually sounded, and then Song Tinghe's greeting: "Yihan, Yihan, are you at home?"
"Brother Song, the door is unlocked, please come in." Xiao Yuesheng replied.
"Master Chen is here to see you!" The courtyard door was pushed open, and Song Tinghe walked in, followed by Chen Jianzhou, who was tall and burly and heroic.
The two of them stood across the flower garden. Chen Jianzhou took the lead and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, didn't you say you wanted to treat us to a drink? I'm here to treat you!"
"Hmm." Xiao Yuesheng had no expression on his face and nodded lightly. Without asking him to come in and sit down, he turned around and picked up the Frost Sword on the couch and left the room.
Chen Jianzhou had never been here before, looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Captain Xiao is still an elegant person. The scenery here is pretty good!"
Xiao Yuesheng nodded, did not answer, and led them out with a straight face. Seeing Song Tinghe walking home, he couldn't help but be startled: "Brother Song, what, aren't you going?"
Song Tinghe chuckled and said, "I'm going to my father-in-law's house tonight, so I won't be able to accompany you all. I'm sorry!"
"That's fine!" Xiao Yuesheng nodded, with a smile on his face: "Then I won't invite you, so as not to make my sister-in-law angry."
Song Tinghe glared at him, smiled and shook his head: "You go ahead, Yihan, don't get drunk, you are still injured!"
"Yeah." Xiao Yuesheng nodded, then turned around and walked out of the west gate with Chen Jianzhou, walking straight to the north.
Along the way, the two of them didn't say a few words. Xiao Yuesheng was taciturn and too lazy to talk. He was always immersed in the movement of Tianlei Jue and kept practicing.
Seeing that he was silent, Chen Jianzhou didn't want to speak up without shame, but his steps were getting faster and faster, and then he said: "Boss Xiao, everyone should have arrived, and we should be impatient to wait. Let's leave quickly."
"After that, without waiting for Xiao Yuesheng to say anything, he started to use Qinggong and galloped all the way. Although it was not as good as running a horse, the speed was still very fast. Xiao Yuesheng stepped out step by step and followed closely behind him.
Chen Jianzhou peeked out of the corner of his eye and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Yihan, who had always been a pustule, could have such a superb Qinggong. He was not inferior to himself at all. He couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that he had always been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? Keeping a low profile and showing weakness to others?
The two of them were very fast on their feet. In just one cup of tea, they had reached the north side of the west gate. When they turned around, they saw the wine rack swinging in the wind.
An open space was surrounded by a fence, with two thatched huts in the middle. A simple tent was set up in front of the house, and a few tables and chairs were placed inside. This is the hotel.
Before the two of them entered the hotel, a short distance away, a thin old man came out to greet them, trotting along with a smile on his face: "Hey, escort Chen, you haven't been here for a while. , please come in quicklyand this young hero, please¡ª¡ª, please come in quickly!"
"Lao Cai, are my brothers already here?" Chen Jianzhou asked loudly.
Lao Cai nodded hurriedly, with a smile on his face, and replied respectfully: "Master Chen, those gentlemen have arrived and are waiting for you inside!"
"Okay!" Chen Jianzhou was happyHe nodded, slapped Lao Cai heavily on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lao Cai, I have to bring out the good wine from your wine cellar today, don't worry! No credit! This escort chief Xiao is treating me today!"
The smile on Lao Cai's face froze, he grinned, his thin shoulders shrunk, he glanced at Xiao Yuesheng, and said with a forced smile: "It turns out to be escort chief Xiao, he seems very unfamiliar!"
Chen Jianzhou chuckled and said: "This escort chief Xiao has just been promoted to escort chief because of his great achievements. He has been rewarded and has a very rich net worth. You don't recognize it stop talking nonsense and bring the wine quickly!" "
"Okay -, we'll be here soon!" Lao Cai glanced at the solemn Xiao Yuesheng again and ran away, as fast as if he was ten years younger.
When we entered the hotel, it was already quite lively. Six people were already sitting there, talking together at the table, and making weird laughs from time to time.
Apart from them, there are no outsiders.
Seeing them come in, they stopped talking and turned their heads, then looked at each other.
One of them laughed and said: "Brother Chen, you are finally here Mr. Xiao, you are too late and have made us wait for so long. You will punish yourself with three drinks later!"
"Okay." Xiao Yuesheng nodded and sat directly on the main seat. His waist was straight, and even though he was sitting, he still looked upright and dignified.
Seeing his big appearance, which was very different from the previous restraint, everyone was slightly startled, and then laughed secretly. Now that he has become a bodyguard, things will be different immediately!
Although he was not convinced, he was already the head guard after all and his position was above them, so they all kept silent and pretended not to see anything.
"Here comes the wine¡ª¡ª!" Lao Cai ran over briskly carrying a large jar of wine, brought it to the table, and said with a smile: "Dear heroes, this is the bamboo leaf green that I have treasured for ten years!"
"I know, your bamboo leaves have been treasured for ten years!" Everyone laughed.
Lao Cai laughed and said hurriedly: "I'll get a few kilograms of beef!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Go away quickly, lest they be unyielding. The people from Fuwei Escort Agency spend all day with their swords flashing and their heads hanging on their belts, which is not a good thing.
Xiao Yuesheng raised the wine jar with his palm, patted open the mud seal, poured a glass, put down the wine jar, raised the glass to his lips, tilted his head back, and drank it all.
Then, he poured another glass and drank it all in one gulp. He poured another glass and drank it all in one gulp. He drank three glasses in one breath.
He looked at everyone without changing his expression, turned the cup upside down, and said slowly without any drop of wine: "I will punish myself with three cups first!"
"Refreshing!" Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and then cheered loudly.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded and slowly put down the cup. Someone stood up next to him, holding the wine jar and pouring wine. He poured it for him first.
"Butterhead Xiao is indeed a good drinker!" Chen Jianzhou chuckled, picked up the filled wine glass, stood up, and said with a smile: "I would like to offer a drink to Bouncer Xiao first, and congratulations on your promotion!"
After saying that, he sent it forward gently, touched it emptyly, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Yuesheng had a sullen face, nodded, sat steadily, picked up the wine glass, brought it to his mouth, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, keeping his body upright.
The green color of bamboo leaves is strong, and the wine glass can hold about three ounces of wine. After drinking it in one sip, Chen Jianzhou frowned and grinned involuntarily.
As soon as he sat down, another person stood up next to him, picked up the wine glass, congratulated Xiao Yuesheng again on his promotion, gave him a toast, and drank it in one gulp.
"Xiao Yuesheng didn't say much, he sat steadily, just nodded slightly, and drank it all in one gulp.
The seven people took turns to toast one by one. After one round, each person drank a glass in one gulp. Xiao Yuesheng drank ten glasses of wine in one breath without changing his expression.
Seeing him like this, several people were surprised. Although they knew that he had a good drinking capacity, they did not expect that he could drink so much. They suddenly felt competitive and gritted their teeth secretly. They had to get him drunk. Otherwise, how could they lose face? !
After more than a dozen drinks, Xiao Yuesheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not touched a drop of wine. However, they were a little tipsy.
By the time the wine was over, the atmosphere on the table became more lively, and everyone was drinking happily.
Chen Jianzhou suddenly put down his wine glass, took a look at the long sword at Xiao Yuesheng's waist, burped, and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, this sword of yours must be a precious sword, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuesheng nodded and said lightly: "Although it is not a sword, it is a bit stronger than an ordinary sword."
"Presumably, the swordsmanship of Xiao Biaotou is also good!" Chen Jianzhou tilted his head and smiled, and said hehe: "Now that I say that, my hands are a little itchy. Could you please give me some advice?"
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Drinking will do it the sword has no eyes and cannot be moved lightly."
"how?Is it because my martial arts skills are low and my bodyguard is dismissive of me? ! "Chen Jianzhou opened his eyes, looked sideways at Xiao Yuesheng, and sneered.
Xiao Yuesheng remained calm and glanced at him lightly: "You drank a lot today. If you want to compare notes, find another day."
His tone was vaguely condescending. In front of them, he didn't have to hide it or pretend to be Xiao Yihan.
Chen Jianzhou couldn't bear his tone the most. Xiao Yihan was originally just a low-level escort, but now he has become a bodyguard. His expression when he spoke suddenly changed. In his eyes, he was nothing more than a successful villain. That's all, you just want to show off your prestige, don't think that you are really a bodyguard!
Chen Jianzhou suddenly pulled up his single shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, took off the long knife from his waist, jumped out, stood in the open space in front of the table, and with a cry, unsheathed the long knife, holding the sheath in one hand and the knife in the other. , said loudly: "It's better to bump into me on another day, Mr. Xiao, please come!"
¡°That¡¯s right, Chief Xiao, let¡¯s broaden our horizons!¡± Everyone started cheering.
Xiao Yuesheng¡¯s face was sullen, his heavy brows moved, and he suddenly looked outside the store.
Everyone was confused and looked outside. The sound of horse hoofbeats came faintly, and soon it became clear. There seemed to be five or six horses approaching quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves fell, and someone walked in. Lao Cai hurriedly ran out and welcomed five people in.
"Young escort chief!" "I've seen the young escort chief!"
People stood up one after another, bowed their hands to the person in front and saluted, and then saluted again: "Shi Biaotou, Zheng Biaotou!"
Walking in the front was none other than Lin Pingzhi, the young escort leader of the Fuwei Escort Agency. He was as handsome as ever, dressed in brocade clothes, carrying a long bow on his back, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He strode in with his head held high.
Seeing everyone here, Lin Pingzhi was slightly startled, then nodded: "It turns out it's you guys, I didn't expect you are here too."
"It's Mr. Xiao who invites us to drink." Someone explained.
Xiao Yuesheng was still sitting there with a big horse and a golden sword. He didn't get up, but just raised his hands to Lin Pingzhi and the others, which was quite flattering. - Didn't finish reading?
