Chapter 54
When the lights came on, bursts of laughter came from Xianyun Tavern, which was almost full.
The women are like butterflies wearing flowers, shuttling between the light wine tables.
Zhuo Feiyang wore a sapphire blue gown, his face was like a crown jade, and a long sword was hanging from his waist, like a handsome young man, he walked slowly into the tavern with Bai Zhijie.
Two beautiful girls came up to meet him, Zhuo Feiyang waved his hands: "Find us a seat."
"Second gentlemen, I'm really sorry, there are no seats outside, only a private private room."
"No seat?"
"I'm sorry, two young masters,...our tavern has reservation rules, you can tell us in advance, we reserve a seat."
"I have to eat here today, move me a seat!"
"My lord, everyone who enters the tavern is a distinguished guest, I'm really sorry..."
"Slap!" Zhuo Feiyang suddenly waved his hand and slapped the girl across the face.
The beautiful girl covered her face and looked at Zhuo Feiyang in surprise.
Because behind the Duke's Mansion, no one has ever dared to come here to make trouble, not to mention beating people, and she never thought that this handsome young man would dare to do so.
"Is it this time?" Zhuo Feiyang sneered.
Many people looked over and stared at Zhuo Feiyang with frowns, no one was complaining, they all had the idea of watching a good show, dared to come here to make trouble, thinking that the Duke's Mansion is a vegetarian? There is a good show to watch!
"Senior Brother Zhuo! What are you doing!" Zhao Ying glared at him angrily.
Her clear eyes were cold, she never thought that Zhuo Feiyang would be so vile and dare to do something, this is a taboo, he is really crazy!
Zhuo Feiyang said coldly: "Junior Sister Zhao, you are here again!"
"Why are you beating people?!" Zhao Yingdai frowned, dissatisfied and said: "They don't know martial arts, you can do it too!"
"I don't care if they know martial arts or not, I only know that they are people with the surname Chu!"
"Unreasonable!" Zhao Ying pointed at him and said angrily, "You and Brother Chu are just in a hurry, why do you want to involve others?"
Zhuo Feiyang snorted: "He's like a coward, I can only do this!"
"Senior Brother Zhuo, Brother Chu didn't accept the challenge because he didn't want to hit you. Do you think you can really defeat Senior Brother Chu?!" Zhao Ying sneered.
Zhuo Feiyang sneered again and again: "Junior Sister Zhao seems to like him very much!"
"Brother Zhuo, there are so many important things to do outside, and there are countless villains in the world, why do you only focus on a little grievance?" Zhao Ying sighed helplessly: "A man should think about how to make contributions, not Entangled in personal grievances all day long, Senior Brother Zhuo, please relax a little bit!"
Zhuo Feiyang heard it ear-piercingly, and sneered: "What kind of shit is making a contribution, I just want to enjoy my gratitude!"
"Alas..." Zhao Ying shook her head, completely disappointed.
"Let the surname Chu come to me and accept the invitation!" Zhuo Feiyang turned and left.
Zhao Ying glared at him, and came to the woman: "Sister Chen, is it alright?"
She is Chen Yin, with a beautiful round face, delicate skin, exquisite facial features, generous and capable, so she does the work of welcoming guests.
Chen Yin touched her face, and smiled indifferently: "It's just a slap in the face, it's nothing serious, sister Zhao, don't tell the young master!"
Zhao Ying hurriedly said, "Of course I have to tell Senior Brother Chu!"
Chen Yin shook her head and sighed: "Don't say it!... It's nothing, it's just a slap in the face, it's not worth mentioning, if you tell the young master, there will be another battle of spirits, if there is a mistake, I will die forever! "
Zhao Ying frowned and looked at her.
Chen Yin smiled: "I really don't care."
Zhao Ying hesitated and said nothing, she had to think again.
But she was completely disappointed with Zhuo Feiyang, she never thought that he was such a person, that he hit a woman who didn't know martial arts!
——
It was already evening when Chu Li returned to East Garden.
He had practiced the Vajra Duer magical skill for a day, and his muscles were sore, and the feeling of being hit by an iron rod was not so good. Recently, a pearl beauty in the East Garden was sick and needed care. If he didn't come back, Li Yue felt uneasy and couldn't eat. Sweet sleep is not good.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, and when a gust of wind blew, the lake shone red.
He disembarked from the ship and saw Zhao Ying as soon as he entered the small courtyard. She was discussing something with Li Yue sitting at the stone table, and when she saw him coming in, she immediately shut up.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Why, are you talking bad about me?"
"Senior brother, why haven't you been to the tavern recently?" Zhao Ying was dressed in a lake green blouse, which made her face fair and delicate, charming and charming.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Isn't it because you are here, I am very relieved to do things with you, Junior Sister!"
Zhao Ying felt ashamed and sighed.
Li Yue said: "Brother, Zhuo Feiyang did not give up, and sent another battle invitation. This time, add a bet, one hundred thousand taels!"
He said and handed him a fiery challenge post.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Chu Li raised his brows, and said with a chuckle, "He must fight this battle, such a big bait has been thrown out!"
"Are you going to fight?" Li Yue hurriedly said, "One hundred thousand taels, he must be very sure!"
Chu Li smiled.
Zhao Ying sighed: "Brother, you are not short of money!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Who said I don't need money? Of course, the more money the better!"
"Your beautiful maids are all in the mix, so what's missing is everything!" Zhao Ying gave him an annoyed look.
She has never seen Chu Li's maid, but she has heard people talking about it. She is so beautiful and glamorous that people cannot refuse. They are all envious and jealous. To have such a maid, she is willing to lose twenty years of her life!
Chu Li pretended not to hear it, and refused to answer the question: "It seems that Zhuo Feiyang has prepared a trump card, well, well, I accept this challenge, Zhuo Feiyang has become smarter, what are you doing with those little tricks? The bait, of course I will accept it!"
"Senior brother—!" Zhao Ying widened her bright eyes.
Chu Li said with a smile: "Junior Sister, practicing martial arts is the most expensive. Think about it, how much is a Peiyuan Pill?"
"It's only ten taels of silver."
"That's in our mansion, what if we go out to buy it?"
"Twenty taels."
"In addition to Peiyuan Pill, there is Yiqi Pill and Ziqi Pill. In short, as a guard, pills are indispensable!"
"That's not worth a hundred thousand taels!"
Chu Li shook his head: "You...you will know when you go out into the martial arts world. How much does a good sword cost?"
"One hundred taels?"
"This is just an ordinary good sword. If it is better, it will cost one thousand taels. For famous swords, it will cost ten thousand taels, or even more!"
"There's no need for such a good sword, is there?"
Chu Li smiled: "You should know the importance of a good sword, which decides life and death. Isn't a life worth ten thousand taels?"
Zhao Ying froze and stopped talking.
As a sword practicer, she certainly knows the importance of a good sword.
Chu Lidao: "So, I accept this challenge, but I'm going to Yanwu Hall to compete!"
"Alas..." Zhao Ying sighed.
"Besides, he dared to go to Xianyun Tavern to beat someone, how could I not teach him a lesson!" Chu Li snorted.
Zhao Ying gave him an angry look: "This is the key!"
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Zhuo Feiyang is crazy now, if you don't compete with him, you don't know what stupid things you will do, you have to solve it sooner or later!"
——
In the martial arts practice field in front of the Martial Arts Hall, people gathered in a circle, quietly.
There were two people standing in the field, Zhuo Feiyang and Chu Li.
Zhuo Feiyang, the number one young master, wants to challenge the guard Chu Li. Chu Li is already a sixth-rank guard at a young age, and he is the top figure among the guards. It is more difficult to be a sixth-rank guard at such an age than a guard.
Bai Zhijie, Zhao Ying and Li Yue stood in the crowd, staring at them.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, everything around was clear and bright, and the lake breeze blew slightly, blowing through the crowd and onto the faces.
Feeling the wind from the lake, Chu Li smiled, and the willow trees on the entire island came into his mind, with surging aura, ready for him to drive away at any time.
"Does this Chu guard know martial arts?"
"Nonsense, if not, what is Zhuo Feiyang challenging?"
"It doesn't look like it."
"Well, don't tell me, it really doesn't look like it. His eyes are dull and his hands and feet are weak. He looks like an ordinary person. Could it be that there is some personal grievance between the two of you, and Zhuo Feiyang's challenge is to vent his anger?"
"Then what is the bodyguard Chu fighting for? Isn't he looking for death!"
"Maybe you were forced to be helpless?"
"I heard that Guard Chu opened a tavern outside, called Xianyun Tavern. The business is very good. Zhuo Feiyang went to make trouble and even beat people. Is it tolerable or unbearable!"
"Zhuo Feiyang has gone too far."
"Who says it's not, but no one dares to care, Zhuo Feiyang is too popular now."
"Hey... I have seen through this world. Whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. Let's practice hard!"
"Yes, you can speak loudly only by working hard. If your martial arts are not strong, you should be honest!"
People talked a lot and sympathized with Chu Li.
Rank six bodyguards can be considered middle-level and high-level, and have certain powers in the Duke's Mansion, but in the face of challenges, in the final analysis, they are better than anyone else in martial arts. In this world, martial arts are the first.
This incident made them firm in the way of guarding, and desperately pursued the strength of martial arts.
Chu Li coughed lightly, and looked at Zhuo Feiyang, whose eyes were wide open angrily, as if he was about to tear himself apart: "Zhuo Feiyang, do you really want to pay a hundred thousand taels of silver? Your family is rich, but you don't have a few hundred thousand taels!"
"It's too late for you to regret it!" Zhuo Feiyang sneered.
Chu Li shook his head: "I'm afraid you will go back on your word!"
"Chu, don't show off your tongue, you'll cry later!"
"I hope you lose and don't cry!"
"Hmph!" Zhuo Feiyang turned his head, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, closed his eyes, and didn't even look at him.
Chu Li smiled, feeling the beauty of nature, connected with the surrounding flowers and plants, hey, there is also Tongjincao here, which grows in a clump of weeds outside the training ground.
There is also red dragon fruit, which is also a wonderful medicine. It can be eaten with earth dragon grass, which is good for strengthening muscles and bones. Unfortunately, the effect is not so strong. It is very useful for ordinary people, but it is negligible for those who practice martial arts.
The crowd suddenly moved out of the way and clasped their fists in salute. Two white-haired old men walked over slowly.
One tall and fat and one short and thin, forming a stark contrast.
The tall and fat old man was smiling, and the short and thin old man had a straight face, as cold as ice, and his eyes swept across the crowd like a knife's edge.
They are the worshiping elders of Yanwu Hall, this time they are invited to testify, the formal challenge is like this, the last challenge between Chu Li and Zhuo Feiyang was not formal enough, so Zhuo Feiyang dared not admit it.
Chu Li cupped his fists: "Senior Chu, Senior He, I'm sorry!"
The tall and fat old man laughed and said, "It's fun to watch, I like it the most!"
The short and thin old man said in a deep voice, "Where's the bank note?"
Zhuo Feiyang took out the silver ticket from his pocket and presented it, the tall fat old man took it, counted it, and said with a smile: "It's just right, one hundred thousand taels of silver, the dragon ticket of Taihe Yinzhuang, good, you can start!"
