Sword from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 26: Brawl with the Heroes! (6.071k!!!)
Captain You looked around and found that there was no place to sit.

Seeing that things were not going well, the two tables of people at the inn entrance stood up to break the silence and shouted to the innkeeper, "Shopkeeper, pay the bill! Pay the bill!"

After saying this, he placed the coins on the table, made room for himself and left.

Several waiters worked quickly and cleared the tables, and You Hongda's people immediately occupied the two tables.

The team squinted their eyes and scanned the second floor, then the first floor.

Finally, his gaze shifted from the Yingyang Sect members to the three people sitting at the square table in the middle of the first floor.

One of the figures looked inconspicuous from behind. He was a young man. On the bench to his right sat a strong man as tall as an iron tower.

The man opposite was short and fat, very sloppy, and was chewing a duck leg, his mouth full of grease.

The team came close to You Hongda and whispered in his ear:

"Captain, there seems to be a lot of merit here. The remnants of Yang Xuangan may be here. Should we go and gather the troops?"

You Hongda frowned and said, "No one outside can move. We are taking the initiative to control Fule and guard against the Taikang rebels. This is the order of the general, and we cannot delay this important matter."

"Here"

There are many powerful forces in this area, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.

You Hongda observed their expressions and rolled his eyes, "I think they will fight and kill on their own. The credit will come to them automatically. There is no need to do anything."

The team just reacted and smiled slyly: "Captain, you are wise."

As soon as You Hongda sat down, he ordered his men to move the two tables by the door towards the middle.

In this way, although a small path is left, the road is blocked.

If people inside want to go out, they have to pass through the gaps between them.

As long as You Hongda had malicious intentions, he could command his men to easily stab a dozen holes in anyone who walked by.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire Fushi Inn became even more tense!

A fat man came out from the kitchen, reached out to lift the curtain made of yellowed old cloth, holding a pot lid in his hand. It was the cook of the inn.

In front of the counter, there was a wealthy middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper, and he was smiling while fiddling with an abacus.

The cook came over cautiously and muttered:
"Boss, the atmosphere in the store is not right."

The shopkeeper casually replied, "What's wrong? Our business has never been so good."

"Then what should we do if they start fighting?"

The shopkeeper was very calm: "What are you afraid of? Let them fight. These gangsters are very lucrative. Picking up a few weapons will make them rich."

"A flawless iron sword is worth four or five dou of rice, and can even be exchanged for a piece of silk. It's very easy to sell."

He was not panicked at all, obviously he had made money from the dead before.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, his cunning and mercenary face showed again, and he pointed at the wine jar on the ground.

The cook understood what the boss meant, and asked him to add some water to the drink for the people outside so that they could have a lighter drink, because they couldn't be returning customers.

The cook was carrying the pot lid and walking towards the back kitchen. Just as he was about to lift the curtain, a voice came and made him look back.

"Damn it, this millet wine smells like pot washing water!"

The person who was talking on the first floor was a short and fat Taoist wearing a blue cloth Taoist robe.

His clothes were originally patched, and now the patches were torn into strips, like a broom made of cloth.

The cook felt guilty and thought that the water was added incorrectly, so he immediately hid in the kitchen.

The Taoist shouted, but no one paid any attention.

He threw away the duck leg bone in his hand and was about to eat the remaining braised duck on the plate.

Zhou Yi reached out first, grabbed most of the duck from the coarse pottery plate, tore it in half for him and Shan Xiongxin, and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

The marinated duck was red in color, with oil slowly seeping out along the grains and oil droplets rolling down.

The two men grasped the duck bones, their knuckles turning slightly white from exertion, and they bit them with their teeth, chewing with their cheeks puffed out.

Zhou Yi ate the meat while shouting, "Hey, bring two more jars of wine."

Sitting at a table behind Zhou Yi were people from the Yingyang Sect. The middle-aged man was an elder of the sect. The situation in the inn was complicated, so they didn't dare to take action at this time.

Elder Zheng glanced at the short and fat Taoist priest, and obviously thought he was in the same group as Zhou Yi and Shan Xiongxin.

"They eat well and drink wine, so there's no reason for me to starve."

Zhou Yi and the other two were eating so deliciously that Elder Zheng's mouth was watering. He shouted, "Hey, bring some mallards!"

"Okay~!"

The innkeeper responded.

After Elder Zheng finished speaking, Captain You at the door licked his lips and shouted, "Bring up some fat ducks, and pick the ones with big, fat butts!"

"Okay~!"

The guy responded again.

At this moment, the forces on the second floor, east, west, south, and north, were attracted by the sound and looked down. They looked at Zhou Yi's table, then at the Yingyang faction, and then at the two tables of Sui cavalry You Hongda.

The scarred man by the north window whispered to his companion:

"The demon's helpers are here."

"Well, it seems so."

"There are also people from the Yingyang Mansion Army. We have to act according to the circumstances."

"..."

There are many people who share the same view as them.

While eating duck, Zhou Yi was thinking about the current situation, which was quite tricky.

When he entered the inn, the atmosphere inside was already tense.

He and Shan Xiongxin sat over here. The people who were originally going to take action didn't know where they came from and chose to wait and see.

After the Sui army and the Yingyang faction came in, no one dared to make a decision to take action.

However, the Sui general at the door was very insidious.

There are a large number of cavalry in Fule City. Even if the large group of troops did not arrive here, the Sui army still had the greatest momentum.

He blocked the door, and it was only a matter of time before a fight broke out inside.

Zhou Yi glanced at the short and fat Taoist priest opposite him without leaving a trace. It was the Taoist priest Mu whom he met in Cao's mansion!

He had heard some rumors about this guy after he left Cao's house.

Most of the gangsters in Fushi Inn are this guy's enemies.

It depends.
Fortunately, he has many enemies, and many of his enemies are enemies of each other.

This strange balance is created because everyone is afraid of being stabbed in the back.

Otherwise, with so many brutal people attacking him together, Mu Dao Ren would have been dead long ago.

Zhou Yi used the information he knew to roughly figure out what the situation was.

The two of them had just been attacked from both sides by the Sui army and the Yingyang faction, and they had not expected to run into such a dead end full of explosive barrels.

I definitely can't stay here for long.

The Taoist monk opposite Zhou Yi lowered his head, licked the sauce on his thumb, and glanced at Shan Xiongxin with an obscure look.

After that, the pair of eyes only stared at Zhou Yi.

"It's this kid!" he roared in his heart.

Although Zhou Yi made some disguises, he could not escape the sharp eyes of Mu Dao Ren.

It was simply because he had a deep and profound 'missing' for Zhou Yi, a feeling that would pop up in his mind from time to time.

"Humph, this guy, let alone smearing himself in dirt, I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes!"

He thought of the rumors in the martial arts world and anger suddenly ignited in his heart.

But it can't happen at this time.

Looking around, there are enemies everywhere.

'What on earth does this guy mean?'

Ok?
Just as I was thinking about it, I felt a pain in my calf and someone kicked me.

Mu Dao Ren was not stupid either, and he exchanged a brief eye contact with Zhou Yi.

Taoist Mu touched the wine bowl, and Zhou Yi spat out a mouthful of duck bones.

The two of them reached a tacit understanding almost at that moment.

"Sir, here's the wine you requested."

At this time, the waiter brought two jars of wine.

There were two soft sounds, and the wine jar fell on the table.

Almost everyone in the inn looked over here, openly or covertly.

These are a group of vicious gangsters who are ready to attack at any time. Just the sight of their eyes meeting is enough to make people tremble with fear.

Everyone saw that the young man did not open the seal to drink. Instead, he pushed one of the jars of wine in front of the short and fat Taoist priest and said in a voice that everyone present could hear:

"Hmph, Taoist Mu, it's true that we meet on a narrow road. After leaving Baling, I didn't expect to run into you here."

The young man had a gloomy expression and his words were full of murderous intent.

The people around him thought, "We've made a mistake." They didn't expect that these two newcomers were actually Mu Dao Ren's enemies!

The people from the Yingyang Sect who were sitting behind Zhou Yi were also stunned.

Elder Zheng glanced at the Taoist Mu. As an old hand in the world, he naturally saw something and knew that the Taoist was the target of public criticism.

However, being targeted by so many people is not an easy task.

At this time, the young people in Shan Xiongxin's group wanted to be the first to confront this Taoist.
Elder Zheng smiled sinisterly, and naturally he was just watching from the sidelines.

"When I find an opportunity, I'll take advantage of the situation and kill them."

The many spectators present looked at Zhou Yi, then looked at Shan Xiongxin who did not move, and then looked at the people from the Yingyang Sect who also did not move.

Feeling relieved
This young man must be the leader of this group of forces, and they are also the enemies of Mu Dao Ren.

Since this group of people are willing to take action first, that’s perfect.

"Mu Taoist!"

Seeing that the short and fat Taoist hadn't understood, Zhou Yi raised his voice in anger, "The great grudge we had near the Baling Gang's rudder gate, how dare you forget it?"

The roar made the short and fat Taoist's ears hurt.

"What the hell is this Baling Gang rudder?"

"What kind of hint did this bastard give me? I don't understand a single word."

Taoist Mu was cursing Zhou Yi in his heart when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

By the way, this guy mentioned "Baling" in both of his sentences, but we have never seen him in Baling. Later he even mentioned the three words "Baling Gang".

That's it!

The short and fat Taoist came to his senses and smiled coldly.

He glanced at the place where the wine flag was hung on the south side of the second floor.

His action was difficult for others to notice, but was caught by Zhou Yi.

Taoist Mu glanced at Zhou Yi and said disdainfully:

"I have so many enemies with Daoye that I don't know who you are."

After he finished speaking, he held the jar and drank from it in big gulps, then spat it out: "What a shitty taste!"

Taoist Mu saw Zhou Yi waving his hands, and he shouted angrily before suddenly slapping the wine jar!

"Boom!" A loud bang!
The wine jar was smashed into pieces like rain by his powerful true energy, and there was a curtain of wine everywhere!
Just from the whistling wind caused by the flying fragments, you can tell how terrifying the palm power is!
Many people showed strange expressions, and saw Mu Daoren's palm pass through the wine curtain and hit the young man.

The young man didn't dodge or evade, but raised his hand to face his palm!
"Bang" sound!
The fight lasted only a moment, and the two men separated their hands. The wooden table in the middle was split in two with a snap due to the force!
The strong man like an iron tower picked up another jar of wine, ate duck and drank at the same time, seemingly not worried about the young man at all.

After being struck by the palm, Taoist Mu retreated four steps, but the young man only retreated two steps.

what! ?

This time, it was Taoist Mu who was at a disadvantage!
The spectators all knew that this short and fat Taoist was strong and ruthless. They were extremely shocked at this moment and all looked at Zhou Yi!

Elder Zheng of the Yingyang Sect was shocked.

When he looked at Zhou Yi again, there was deep fear in his eyes.

"This person's skills are probably better than mine. Where did this young master come from?"

"Hahaha!" The young man laughed wildly and glanced at Taoist Mu. "Today, not only will we settle the old accounts in Baling, but we will also settle the new accounts in Yongqiu."

"I'm right, aren't I, my friend from the Baling Gang?"

As Zhou Yi spoke, he looked towards the location where the wine flags were hung on the south side of the second floor. There were about ten people sitting there.

The man with a rat-like beard in the lead was watching the show. Suddenly he met Zhou Yi's gaze and his heart was immediately disturbed.

This powerful young master recognized them, but they didn't know where he came from.

Having seen Zhou Yi's martial arts, the man with the rat-beard certainly wouldn't be negligent. He stood up and said, "That's right, this demon killed my gang members. We will never forgive him."

Then he put on a smile and said: "I am Pan Daiyi, the incense master of Dongting Lake. Please forgive my poor eyesight and my ignorance of who the hero is."

Zhou Yi seemed to be quite simple-minded and was very familiar with the people from the Baling Gang. He said casually:

"Oh, watch the tide next week."

"Ma Shouyi, the head of the Yongqiu Hunyuan Sect, is a friend of mine. Some time ago in Yongqiu, I hit it off with Master Lai Xiang of Dongting. He was able to send the young beauties captured in Yongqiu to General Yuwen thanks to my help."

After saying this, he smiled heartily, as if he was a good friend of the Baling Gang.

The people around him finally understood why this young man dared to take the initiative to fight with Mu Dao Ren.

Kung Fu is secondary, the first thing is that he has no brains.

How can such a secret and shameful thing be talked about in public?

But as soon as I saw the expressions of the Baling gang members, I knew it was true.

The man with the rat-beard coughed and interrupted him: "Brother Zhou, let's talk about this later."

Captain You at the door was chewing on the duck's butt. When he heard Zhou Yi's words, his eyes widened.

How did it get to General Yuwen?
Before he could say anything, on the second floor, more than 20 extremely ferocious men sitting at four tables in a row burst into thunderous laughter, mocking him to the extreme.

A man holding a short spear laughed and taunted:
"What scandals of the Baling Gang can't be told to someone's face?"

Pan Daiyi looked at him and responded coldly, "What about you four bosses? Where are you burning, killing, and looting?"

When Zhou Yi heard this, he understood the origins of these fierce characters.

They are the subordinates of the four major bandits Xiang, Fang, Mao and Cao. These four people are evil and committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing and looting. They deserve to die just like the Baling Gang.

But the four major bandits were extremely powerful. Not to mention that the four bandits worked together, Cao Yinglong alone commanded 30,000 bandits.

Zhou Yi glanced at the Sui general at the door, his mind racing. He had originally planned to break out from the Baling Gang, but now he immediately changed his mind.

So he stood on the same front with Pan Dai and joined in loudly without any scruples:
"Brother Pan is right!"

"The four major bandits are indeed very busy right now. They are rebelling and are cooperating with Li Mi to deal with the Yingyang Prefecture Army."

After hearing this, Captain You at the door put down the fat duck in his hand and gave a look to the captain next to him.

The man hunched over and ran out the door.

"Fuck your motherfucker!!"

Seven or eight bandits stood up one after another and roared, "Stop talking nonsense!"

The others were still watching the show, and most of them felt that the young man did not seem to be lying.

Zhou Yi spoke very quickly:
"Then how did your boss know Li Mi's only son, Li Tianfan? And why was he secretly operating in Fule City? Wasn't it to cooperate with the rebels in Taikang?"

The four bandits had no time to argue, and Zhou Yi interrupted and said:

"Do you dare to swear on behalf of your clan's head, Cao, that if he knew Li Mi's only son, he would curse him to have no descendants. I think not only Li Mi, but your head has also contacted Yang Xuangan."

Boss Cao is the most powerful among the four bandits, and ordinary bandits dare not say anything bad about him.

These people's brains were not as fast as Zhou Yi's, so of course they were speechless and didn't dare to respond to Zhou Yi.

The three words "Yang Xuangan" were like a steel needle. You Hongda at the door seemed to be stabbed in the back and stood up suddenly!
Looking at the hesitation of the four bandits' men, their crotches were already covered in mud!
Joining forces with the Taikang rebels? Yang Xuangan!

That's pretty cool!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud sound of horse hooves was heard outside the inn, and hundreds of riders patrolling in the rear were pulled over by the team!
You Hongda was smart enough to selectively ignore others and only focus on the four bandits.

A great achievement! A great achievement!
The soldiers were armed with spears and were coming at a very fast speed!

You Hongda suffered a great loss at the hands of Li Mi in Yongqiu and was filled with resentment.

How could he remain calm now that he had seized the opportunity? He pointed at the four major bandits in the inn and shouted, "Don't let any of those remnants of Yang Xuangan escape!"

"Kill! Kill for me!"

In an instant, the masters among the soldiers rushed out with guns and jumped up!

Fushi Inn is in chaos!
How could Zhou Yi miss such a good opportunity? He shouted and started fighting with Mu Dao Ren again. The two of them jumped to the second floor.

Shan Xiongxin was full and drunk, and he roared with great momentum!

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to help you!"

The people of the Baling Gang were still in confusion and didn't understand why the situation had suddenly become so chaotic.

The place chosen by these three masters in the melee was the Baling Gang.

Because the young master Zhou Guanchao was on good terms with Lai Xiangzhu, the members of the Baling Gang were cautious and did not dare to use any underhanded tactics or hidden weapons.

He was again occupied by the tall man Shan Xiongxin and could only scout from the side.

Shan Xiongxin's move naturally aroused the murderous intentions of the Yingyang faction.

"kill!"

Elder Zheng slammed the table, shattering the dishes, and roared, not wanting to be outdone.

Many masters of the Yingyang Sect drew their swords, with murderous intent in their eyes, and all of them leaped up from the ground!

Pan Dai from the Baling Gang was already confused, because Elder Zheng, who was full of murderous intent, was coming towards them. The four major bandits over there were surrounded and killed by the Sui army and were also driven towards them.

For a moment, Pan Daiyi was surrounded by shouts of killing, and members of the Baling Gang fell down with screams.

Pan Dai was also dizzy, until Elder Zheng thought he was in the way and attacked him with a sword!
The Soaring Eagle Sword Technique is full of killing moves, and every sword move is meant to take his life!

Shan Xiongxin was good friends with Zhou Guanchao, and Zhou Guanchao was good friends with the Baling Gang.

Therefore, Elder Zheng asked himself if he had killed anyone wrongly!
"Ah!" Pan Daiyi shouted, overturned the table, and fought with Elder Zheng!
"Boom~!"

There was a loud bang near the window, and Mu Dao Ren was kicked away by Zhou Guanchao, breaking the window sash.

This kick was somewhat due to personal grudges, and it made Mu Dao Ren covered in dust and dirt, and he rolled on the street.

"Where to go!"

Zhou Yi and Shan Xiongxin roared and chased after him together.

After they escaped from Fushi Inn, they ran as fast as they could!

The sound of breaking wind was heard behind them one after another, and people kept rushing out of the inn and heading straight towards them.

These people have been carefully selected by Mu Dao Ren, and none of them are mediocre.

Some people's lightness skills are even better than theirs.

Zhou Yi finally felt what it meant to be surrounded by experts, and even he was trembling with fear.

The two of them quickly parted ways with Mu Dao Ren and rushed into the alley.

After going around in circles and using Mu Dao Ren as a living target, he finally got rid of the people behind him.

"so close!"

Zhou Yi leaned against a deserted alley and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shan Xiongxin stared at him, his leopard eyes full of admiration: "Brother, you really should go to Nanyang. This Wolong Tianshi belongs to you."

He laughed and said, "This is the wisdom of Crouching Dragon!"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Don't be ridiculous. I just used some tricks, some true and some false, to trick them."

"How can this be a joke?"

Shan Xiongxin said cheerfully, "It's wonderful to be with my brothers. I just feel like the first half of my life has been wasted."

"Eating and drinking while watching my brothers play with the heroes is truly a great pleasure in life. Hahahaha, God really treats me well!"

He had just finished laughing when a voice came from a distance.

"Hahaha, God really treats me well."

"You two guys ate a fat duck from me, and you just dumped me like that. You are really cruel and heartless."

The short and fat figure rushed over stepping on the roof tiles. Who else could it be but Mu Dao Ren?

Zhou Yi and Shan Xiongxin's expressions changed and they started running again.

Of course, the two of them were not afraid of Mu Dao Ren, but they didn't know how many enemies were following this guy.

"You go your way, and I go mine. My dear, let's say goodbye now."

Zhou Yi shouted.

Taoist Mu said, "Don't even think about it!"

He was in hot pursuit:

"You are so familiar with the terrain of Fule, why not take me with you? Find me a secluded place so I can meditate and regulate my breathing. I, the Taoist Master, will definitely not follow you two anymore."

Zhou Yi ignored his words and just ran away with Shan Xiongxin.

"Boy, if you run again, I will shout everywhere and expose you. Then there will definitely be more people killing you than killing me."

Zhou Yi snorted coldly after hearing his threat:
"Just go ahead and expose yourself. I rescued you from the inn, and you, a heartless person, still want to threaten me. Do you think I can be scared?"

After hearing this, Mu Dao Ren found it difficult to refute.

In addition, most of the true energy in his body was used up, so he didn't dare to be tough anymore.

While pursuing her, he played the emotional card:

"We all belong to the same sect, so we all have some kind of ties of friendship."

"Bullshit friendship!" Zhou Yi cursed as he ran, "Last time you fought me, you even used your alien Qi to sneak attack me. Shame on you!"

Taoist Mu was furious after hearing this, but then suppressed his anger and said, "This is the true energy of the Taoist master. How can this be considered a sneak attack on you?!"

"I am the Quan Xing Dao Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, and I govern Zhuangzi's human world. I am no less powerful than you, the Dao Cheng of the Taiping Dao. Your Dou Zhuan Xing Yi dissipated my power, but it's not normal that you can't dissipate the effects of your true energy, isn't it?"

"How about this"

"Master Dao, I'm risking everything. Find me a place to rest and recuperate, and I'll teach you the essence of martial arts in the human world."

"This way, you can also cultivate a different kind of true qi!"
