Chapter 82 Finally There Is Melon to Eat
So Tian Qi took four people, You Longsheng, Ding Chengfeng, Ding Baiyun, and Guo Songyang, to attend the Xiao family's flower viewing party.
With these four celebrities rubbing their invitations, Tian Qi felt like his whole body was floating.
If it weren't for the inconvenience, he could brag about it for the rest of his life.
You Longsheng and others also knew Guo Songyang's intention of coming to Luoyang.
Accept the challenge!
Xie Tianling, the contemporary leader of Dian Cang, is known as the best swordsman in Tiannan. He is invincible in his life, but he was defeated twice by Guo Songyang. Once when Guo Songyang personally challenged Dian Cang, and once when Xie Tianling went to Songyang for a second battle.
This time, Xie Tianling sent a message to the Guo family in Songyang, inviting Guo Songyang to come to Luoyang to meet and make an appointment to compete again at the Longmen Grottoes.
Guo Songyang invited You Longsheng, Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun to watch the ceremony.
The three of them happily agreed.
Tian Qi also wanted to go, but Guo Songyang invited You Longsheng and the others in front of him but did not invite him, so of course he did not dare to speak.
…
Tian Qi swiped the invitation and his face, and led the four people into the peony garden.
The Peony Garden is located in the west of Luoyang City, covering an area of hundreds of acres. It has pavilions, bridges and flowing water. Peonies are in full bloom in spring. It is a scenic spot in Luoyang. Countless literati, poets, beauties and famous prostitutes have stayed here and left their footprints.
In the past five years, even in the golden autumn season, celebrities still gather here to drink wine and enjoy the flowers.
"I seem to see Yun Zaitian and Ding Qiu."
"The eight heroes of the Central Plains, the four who survived, are all here."
"Zen Master Hongyi from White Horse Temple has also arrived. He and Young Master Xiao have been friends for years."
"Miss Hongqiang from Baihuayuan, Miss Ruyi from Cuiyan Tower, Miss Tingfang from Yuexiang Pavilion, and Miss Yunxiu from Youlan Pavilion are all here."
"The Xiao family has invited at least eight of the ten most famous opera troupes within a hundred miles."
"And the most famous chef, the Bianjing roast duck I just had was definitely made by Master Li from Linfeng Tower in Henan Prefecture."
"The Peony Garden has been open for nine days. I want a perfect one. It's really artistic!"
Even someone like You Longsheng, who came from later generations, must admit that the Xiao family organized this event very well. There was food and accommodation in the Peony Garden, fine wine and delicacies, warm fragrant jade, musicians playing music, and dancing girls dancing.
Coupled with this out-of-season garden of peonies, who can say that the Xiao Family in Luoyang is well-deserved?
"The Xiao family won't even pay for everyone's visit to the brothel, right?" You Longsheng's eyes were bright and he was eager to give it a try.
"That's not true." Tian Qi smiled bitterly, "Both food and accommodation are free here. Only the brothels and gambling houses have to pay for it themselves."
Ding Chengfeng smiled calmly and said, "Of course these are the two most expensive ones."
You Longsheng looked at the building not far away where there was a commotion, "Will there not be a conflict?"
"Of course." Tian Qi said.
Not long after, a group of Xiao family children appeared at the door. They quickly persuaded both parties to stop, and then each pulled one person away.
Tian Qi continued, "But everyone will give face to the Xiao family and borrow donkeys to go downhill."
"No one refutes the Xiao family's reputation?" Ding Baiyun asked with malice.
"At least until now, I haven't heard of it." Tian Qi shook his head and said.
"But I'm afraid it will happen this year." Guo Songyang said lightly.
"What do you say?" Everyone looked at Guo Songyang. Did he have any news?
"The three ghosts of Mang Mountain are actually four people." Guo Songyang said calmly.
"Ah?" Everyone looked confused.
"Their young brother is extremely talented and was accepted as an apprentice by the head of Longxi Tianwang Sword ten years ago." Guo Songyang said, "I saw that sword a few days ago."
"What knife?"
"On the battlefield, it is called the Heavenly King's Horse-Zhancing Sword." Guo Songyang said, "In the martial arts world, some people also call it the Heavenly King's Ghost-Zhancing Sword."
The Heavenly King’s Ghost Slaying Sword!
Kill men and horses on the battlefield, kill gods and ghosts in the martial arts!
Ding Baiyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "The younger brother of the Three Ghosts of Mang Mountain actually learned the Ghost Slaying Sword?"
"But this sword is very scary." Ding Chengfeng frowned and said, "The Longxi Heavenly King Sword is inherited from the Tang Dynasty. Although it has rarely been used in the Central Plains, its strength cannot be underestimated."
You Longsheng expressed his approval.
The Heavenly King Ghost Killing Sword is also famous in "Tianya Mingyue Sword". The leader at that time was called Miao Tianwang, and he was one of the few masters who posed a threat to Fu Hongxue.
Unexpectedly, the colleagues who worked under Gong Ziyu forty years later still had a grudge against him forty years ago.
in this case……
"Are there any more melons to eat?" You Longsheng asked enthusiastically.
Guo Songyang was puzzled, "Melon?"
Ding Baiyun explained on his behalf, "It just means it's fun to watch."
Guo Songyang still didn't understand the relationship between watching the excitement and eating melon, but he also understood what they meant, "If you find Xiao Ao, you can watch the excitement."
Xiao Ao is easy to find.
When they found Xiao Ao, they found that the people around Xiao Ao were excited, but Xiao Ao himself didn't care.
He raised the battle card in his hand and said with a disdainful smile, "I didn't expect the three ghosts of Mangshan to have a younger brother. It's just... a sword fight?"
Xiao Ao raised his eyebrows and laughed, "I will ask him to accompany his three brothers today!"
Then he tore the battle card in his hand into pieces, and Xiao Ao laughed loudly, "Spread the word. You don't have to wait three days. Today, at sunset, I want to see his sword!"
"good!"
A loud shout came, but it was not from the followers and friends around him, but from a musician who was playing music next to him.
Everyone turned around and saw the musician standing next to a chime, looking at Xiao Ao with burning eyes, "You killed my three brothers openly, so I will kill you openly!"
After the words fell, a tall and thin man actually overturned the entire chime to the ground.
The next moment, he pulled out a knife from the crossbar of the chime.
The blade was straight, the handle was one foot and three inches long, and the scabbard was seven feet and nine inches long. Although the knife was narrow and long, it was taller than a person!
Everyone changed color, and Xiao Ao's pupils shrank, "Heavenly King Killing Demon Knife! Are you a disciple of Longxi Heavenly King Knife?"
"Exactly!"
The musician sneered and walked towards Xiao Ao with the knife in his hand, "My knife is already here, where is your knife?"
Xiao Ao's knife was of course beside him, in the hands of the Xiao family disciple behind him.
Xiao Ao's face became serious, and he stretched out his left hand, and a long knife appeared in his palm.
The next moment, everyone around dispersed and stared at the field nervously.
"I didn't expect that we came at such a good time." Guo Songyang smiled faintly and looked back at the few people.
Then he saw You Longsheng sitting on the crossbar next to the pavilion, holding a bunch of melon seeds in his hand, ready to watch the fun.
Ding Baiyun and Ding Chengfeng sat on both sides, reaching out to take the melon seeds from You Longsheng and asked, "Who do you think will win?"
Ding Chengfeng said, "The King's Knife, ten taels of silver."
You Longsheng said, "Then I bet on Xiao Ao."
Ding Baiyun nodded, "I'll be the banker, open the market!"
