Chapter 5 The fifth round of Fugui Inn

It was getting dark, and the lights in the Fugui Inn were brightly lit, illuminating every corner of the inn as bright as day. They don't care about the little oil and candle money. The name of this inn is definitely not unreasonable, their prices are getting more and more expensive, and of course their bosses are getting richer and richer, so it is called Fugui Inn. How could such an inn care about such a small amount of money? The best room in the Fugui Inn is the "Fu" room, and Hu Tiehua lived in this room that night. He has always been very imposing, who would have thought that this old man doesn't even have a single copper coin on him.

Even Uncle Hu himself often forgets such things, how could others think of it? First, he called all the good wine and food into the room, and filled the table. Even though drinking alone was boring, he still drank a lot. ——I don't know what this kid Chu Liuxiang has become now?Does this kid really think I won't recognize him?Even if he was burned to ashes, I would recognize him. There was a well-ground bronze mirror in the room, and Hu Tiehua smiled at the mirror. In order to show his admiration for himself, he toasted himself a big glass again. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a medicinal fragrance.

Hu Tiehua's drinking capacity is also admired by himself. Although he was a little drunk now, he was still far from being drunk. His nose is not like Chu Liuxiang's either, his nose has always been very sensitive, if he has a friend who is drinking five miles away, he can smell it immediately. It's a pity that the medicinal fragrance is not fragrant at all. It was a very strange smell, a mixture of several very special herbs. These kinds of herbs are all used to treat trauma. If a person wants to mix these herbs together to make a medicine to heal an injury, then the injury must be serious.

The place where the medicine is decocted seems to be in the next room. A man who takes a jar of medicine to his room to fry after being badly wounded must have many formidable enemies, and probably no friends at all. It is already a very pitiful thing to be seriously injured, and it is even more pitiful to have no friends. Hu Tiehua suddenly felt very sympathetic to this person, and wanted to go and accompany him, drink and chat with him, and if his opponent came, maybe he would help him resist for a while. Fortunately, Uncle Hu's wine has not been drunk so impulsively, and he has not forgotten that he must not get into any trouble now.

Unfortunately, at this moment, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound from the next room, as if a medicine jar had been broken. The medicinal aroma is stronger. Hu Tiehua was not impulsive yet, but could bear it and did not rush over. He didn't have to rush over either. Because the room next door rushed over first, not the people in the room rushed over, but the whole room rushed over. With a loud "boom", a big hole was broken in the wall between the two rooms. A person suddenly flew in through the hole, and the two rooms suddenly became one. The first thing Hu Tiehua saw was a bamboo pole.

A black bamboo pole. This black bamboo pole was tightly held by a person with a big hand with protruding veins, but this person could no longer be regarded as a person, at most it could only be regarded as half. His right arm had already been severed shoulder-to-shoulder, his right eye was already blind, and there was still a scar in the shape of a "cross" on his eye. Now his left leg is also broken, above the knee, and it seems to have been cut off by himself. Because the half of the leg that was cut off is still there at this moment, he is leaning against the wall and sitting on the bed, this half of the leg is right beside him, the dark, skinny and extremely long half of the leg has already rotted due to the festering wound.

The injury on his left shoulder was equally bad, and there was already a faint stench from the wound. The person who stabbed him did not know whether it was a weapon or a concealed weapon. Not only did he strike viciously, but it was definitely poisonous. Unexpectedly, he still persisted, and has persisted until now. He would rather cut off one of his legs, and continue to persist. Although this person is only half a person left, he is still a tough guy. Now he has been surrounded by four people with six weapons.Four calm and cruel people, six weapons that can kill people in an instant, one with a snake whip, one with a long sword, one with a pair of thin goose feather knives, one with a pair of split Water Emei thorn.

In such a critical situation, he was still very firm, still holding his black bamboo pole tightly, and he didn't even look afraid at all. There were originally five people who came just now, and the fifth person was the first to rush up, but he pushed back with the black bamboo pole in his hand and hit the wall all at once. "Rich" and "strong" are two completely different things, so he broke a big hole in the wall of the Fugui Inn all at once. Hu Tiehua didn't think that this person was Hei Zhugan, nor did he think about what kind of person Hei Zhugan was. He usually uses his eyes a little more than his brains.

He only saw that this man who was only half a man was still such a tough guy. His favorite in life is this kind of tough guy. So he couldn't bear it anymore, and threw a wine jar out of the way. "The four of you deal with half of them." Hu Tiehua yelled: "Are you shameless?" A wine jar was thrown out, and five of the six weapons had already attacked him, all of which were attacking his vital points. "You ask us if we want to face? Do you want to die?" Although the Fenshui Emei thorn is a weapon that can exert its greatest power in water, it is also sharp when it is not in water.

The snake whip is like a poisonous snake, and the wild goose feather knife flies like a wild goose. These people's martial arts were much stronger than Hu Tiehua expected, and Hu Tiehua might not be defeated by them, but he was already screaming. "Chu, you said you would be near me, where are you?" "The surname is Chu? Is it Chu Liuxiang?" Snake Whip sneered: "Are you trying to use Chu Liuxiang to scare people?" "Who am I scaring?" Hu Tiehua also sneered: "You don't even have a human being, I scare you ghosts." Before finishing this sentence, he almost turned into a ghost himself. The snake whip almost wrapped around his neck, and the Yanling knife next to him almost cut his throat.

Only by a little bit. There are many things in this world that cannot be missed even a little bit, even if they are only a little bit short. So Hu Tiehua is still alive, not only alive, but also very happy. Because he had already seen Chu Liuxiang. There is no cart, no horse, not even a sedan chair, donkey, or mule, so Hu Tiehua can only walk. From the river bank over there to this inn, he saw a lot of people, of course there were a few special ones. An old man with a rosy face, a big-bellied Jia with a small belly, a big man with a full beard, and a well-mannered frail scholar. These four people happened to be the same as the four images that Chu Liuxiang himself mentioned, so Hu Tiehua had been paying attention to them for a long time. Although he couldn't tell which of these four people was Chu Liuxiang, at least one of them was. Now he did see one. A refined and elegant white-faced scholar, gently shaking a folding fan in his hand, suddenly appeared outside the door. Hu Tiehua smiled, very happily. "I knew you would come sooner this time, because these four people are definitely not as good-looking as the four little girls last time." The white-faced scholar also smiled, waving his folding fan lightly, and Shi Shiran walked in from the door. His folding fan is undoubtedly his weapon. No matter what kind of thing it is, as long as it is in Chu Liuxiang's hands, it is a weapon, a deadly weapon. Hu Tiehua could see that he was about to make a move immediately, as long as he made a move, at least two of these four people would fall down, not to mention that the black bamboo pole was still holding on, and the person who had been staring at him was also holding on tightly. Holding the long sword in his hand, he didn't dare to be careless at all. So Hu Tiehua laughed even more happily! "Actually, even if you don't come, I can still settle all these four turtle grandchildren, but since you are here, I have to leave at least one or two for you." Hu Tiehua said generously: "You can pick one or two Come on, the rest is mine." "You are very kind, and I really want to thank you." The white-faced scholar also smiled happily, even more happily than Hu Tiehua, because the folding fan in his hand flew out like a windmill, and rolled towards Hu Tiehua like a knife wheel. As soon as Hu Tiehua dodged the knife wheel, six weapons had already pressed into the six vital points of his body. The most terrifying of these six weapons is neither the snake whip, nor the Emei thorn, nor the Yanling knife, but a finger. The moment the folding fan left his hand, the white-faced scholar had already arrived in front of Hu Tiehua, and pointed an index finger of his left hand at the Tianling acupoint on Hu Tiehua's forehead. Hu Tiehua couldn't even move. Although the other party has more people than him, and they are all top-notch masters, he would not have been so easily restrained in the first place. It's a pity that he never dreamed that this person was not Chu Liuxiang. "My surname is Bai, which is the white of the white-faced scholar, that is, the white of Baixue, Baiyun, and Baiyu. My name is Bai Yunsheng." The gentle scholar said, "If you treat me as someone else , it was your fault." Hu Tiehua suddenly said loudly: "I really shouldn't treat you as that person. That person is not a person at all, not a person at all. He is a shrinking turtle. He has been hiding until now and has not come out." As soon as he scolded here, someone outside answered. A man sat on the ridge opposite the window and said in a deliberately pretended voice: "Hu Tiehua, what are you in a hurry for? I promise they will never touch a single hair of your hair. If you die, who else will take care of you?" That princess escorted to Shi Tianwang?" The white-faced scholar frowned, looked Hu Tiehua up and down, and his attitude was more gentle. "Your Excellency is Hu Tiehua Hu Daxia?" "Probably so." The white-faced scholar smiled: "Then this matter is probably a misunderstanding, I'm really sorry." When he was speaking, his body was already retreating, the folding fan was spinning continuously, and it didn't slow down until this time, he stretched out his hand and moved, and the folding fan was in his hand. "For the sake of Great Xia Hu, we will not touch anyone here today." The white-faced scholar smiled and bowed: "We are leaving today, and he will meet in the future." Then he flew backwards and flew lightly, and disappeared into the night in an instant. The movement skills of the other four people were also extremely fast, and they all retreated in a flash, even the person who bumped into Hu Tiehua's room just now left together. Looking at the person on the opposite house, he was already standing in the yard outside. He was tall, with his head wrapped in a blue cloth, and he was actually a big girl who seemed to be pretty good. Hu Tiehua walked to the door, stared wide-eyed, looked at her in surprise, touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "Chu Liuxiang, this time I really admire you, I never imagined that you really pretended to be a big girl." Before he could finish his sentence, he had already been slapped across the face. A big slap in the face. Hu Tiehua was stunned by the beating, and it took him a long time to see the big girl clearly, and immediately called out: "My mother! You are Aunt Hua." Aunt Hua put her hands on her waist, although she deliberately pretended to be fierce and angry, she had a smile in her eyes: "You little bastard, you didn't recognize me as your mother until now, you Should you fight?" "My god, why did you lose so much weight?" Hu Tiehua was still shouting, "Where did all the fat on your body go?" "With such a precious son, how could your mother not be the same?" Aunt Hua looked at him with a pair of smiling winking eyes, but deliberately sighed and said, "Why do you never know how to treat your mother better?" !" Hu Tiehua looked as if he was about to faint. He didn't faint, what really fainted was the black bamboo pole that had exhausted all its strength just now. Hu Tiehua immediately rushed over to help him lie down. Seeing his injury, even Hu Tiehua's face changed color: "Good guy, what a tough guy, he has suffered such a serious injury, and he can still last until now." Aunt Hua was angry again: "I think you treat everyone better than your mother. If I was injured, I don't think you will feel bad at all." "My god, why are you still eating vinegar at this time?" Hu Tiehua said, "Can you get some medicine for wounds first?" Aunt Hua stared at him, not even moving, but slowly stretched out a hand. The wound medicine is already in her hands, and it is the best kind. Hu Tiehua let out a long breath: "This woman still has some cuteness, at least she is a little cuter than that turtle." After applying the medicine, Hei Zhugan fell into a drowsy sleep. Hu Tiehua just breathed a sigh of relief when Aunt Hua was already staring at him and asking. "You little bastard, did you just say that I'm only a little cuter than a turtle?" Hu Tiehua quickly denied it: "I'm not saying that you are only a little cuter than the tortoise, the tortoise I'm talking about is also a person." Hu Tiehua said: "Actually, this person is usually quite cute. I really can't imagine why he suddenly became a person today. Coward." He did feel very strange, even a little worried. Chu Liuxiang should be nearby, because he said that he will definitely be near Hu Tiehua.When Hu Tiehua was in danger, he would never hide and dare not come out. He's definitely not the type to talk like fart. Strangely, today he didn't even appear in the shadow. —Is he in danger himself?Also waiting for others to save him? "I know you are talking about Chu Liuxiang. Every time you are about to die, he will come to save you." Aunt Hua said, "He didn't come today, just because you will never die today." "Why can't I die?" Hu Tiehua said loudly: "As long as there is a person surnamed Bai, it is enough to kill me. How can I not die?" Aunt Hua asked him sweetly, "Are you dead now?" Hu Tiehua was stunned. He wasn't dead yet, he was still alive and well, he couldn't figure out why those people would suddenly let him go and become so polite to him. "That Mr. Bai is indeed a terrifying person. Even I am afraid of him, and he is terribly afraid." Aunt Hua said: "With his martial arts, if you want to kill someone, it is easier than cutting tofu with a knife, but he will never kill someone." will kill you." "why?" "Because you are Hu Tiehua, because he also knows that the one who will send Princess Yujian to be Shi Tianwang's wife is you, Daxia Hu." Aunt Hua's voice was no longer sweet: "How can a person as good as you Are you willing to kill you? He happens to be Shi Tianwang's son again." Hu Tiehua stopped talking, but Hei Zhugan, who had been sleeping all this time, suddenly moaned and whispered: "Give me my leg, give it to me now." This was the first sentence that Hei Zhugan said after he woke up. When others heard this sentence, they must think that he was still awake. Everyone has his legs on himself, why does he want others to give him his legs? Fortunately, Hu Tiehua understood what he meant, and immediately took the half of the leg that was cut off by himself. There are feet on the legs and boots on the feet. Hei Zhugan struggled, and with his only remaining hand, he took out a bank note from the boot. A bank note of 100,000 taels, a "Datong" bank note that can be used in 63 provinces in the south and north. "You paid me this, and now I will return it to you." Hei Zhugan said to Aunt Hua: "Although this is the first time I have refunded money to others, I also know that since I have received money from others, I should not refund it." If you want to refund, you have to pay some interest." Aunt Hua likes to laugh very much. Of course she laughs when she should laugh, and she also laughs when she shouldn't. Because she knew that most men found her smile attractive. But now she couldn't laugh. "I underestimated Shi Tianwang, that's why I took your money. It's my fault. I should pay you the interest. If you think what I paid is not enough, you might as well take my life." Black Zhugan said: "Because I have no money to pay you, you should also know that people like me often spend money inexplicably." "Do you know that what you earn is the money you work for?" "I know." Hei Zhugan said coldly, "Because I know, I need to spend faster." Hu Tiehua suddenly turned his head away, and turned it away very hard, as if this head was no longer his head. Because he didn't want to watch it anymore. He knew that money could be spent, and one hundred thousand taels of silver could make a person so dizzy that he even forgot his first and last name. He also knew that the person who took out the one hundred thousand taels of silver was not Aunt Hua. But he really didn't want to see Aunt Hua take back the one hundred thousand taels of silver note from Heizhugan's hand. He only heard Hei Zhugan say to Aunt Hua again: "I'll take you one hundred thousand taels because I'm worth one hundred thousand taels. If I can't do it, no one else can. Except me, no one else can get close to him. Sick man Huang died on the steps before he stepped into the hall, and when I saw him die, even I didn't believe he would die so quickly." His voice already carried the sorrow of the dead rabbit and the fox. "I want you one hundred thousand taels, because I am worth one hundred thousand taels. If I can't do it, others can't." Hei Zhugan said: "I advise you never to find someone to assassinate Shi Tianwang again." "Why are you trying to persuade me?" "Because no matter who you go to, it's useless. No one in the world can hurt him." Hei Zhugan said sadly: "I saw with my own eyes that everyone who went with me this time died tragically. I really don't want to let my colleagues Die at his hands." Hu Tiehua suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He could understand Hei Zhugan's mood, a tough guy like Hei Zhugan would never say such a thing. But now he had bled too much, and seen others bled too much. His life seemed to be a string of countless nightmares, how sad such a life is! Hu Tiehua was sighing in his heart, but his eyes suddenly shone. Because he suddenly saw a flying figure, which flew past his eyes like a meteor, and disappeared in an instant. Hu Tiehua couldn't see the figure and face of this person clearly, but he already figured out who he was. Because this person's agility, speed, and that kind of flying, agile, ingenious and unrestrained posture; all of which are unmatched by the second person. Hu Tiehua didn't catch up, because he also knew that no one in this world could catch up with Chu Liuxiang. "It turns out that he is not a shrinking turtle." Hu Tiehua sighed happily and said, "Watching me drink outside, but I have no drink, how can he bear this kind of thing, why don't you find some wine quickly Row?" He murmured, "It's a pity I can't drink with you today, I just hope you can meet a beautiful woman to accompany you." But he didn't know that Chu Liuxiang not only met a beautiful woman tonight, but also met more than one. Fugui Inn is a very large inn. Apart from the upper rooms on the main floor, there are many courtyards behind.There are several rooms in each courtyard, which are specially prepared for merchants, officials and family members with their families. Occasionally, there will be groups of martial artists and escorts coming to stay. Tonight, there were a large number of bodyguards who had already unloaded their goods and handed over their bodyguards to take over the last two cross-courtyards. After taking the risk all the way, of course they should relax. People like them are never afraid of asking for a high price. In the eyes of the Jianghu people, money is something outside of the body, and no one wants to bring a penny into the coffin. When Chu Liuxiang came here following Hu Tiehua, the two courtyards were already very lively.Smoked chicken, roast duck, and roast goose were sent in one by one, and the girls dressed up in fancy clothes walked in and out like butterflies wearing flowers from time to time, and the smell of wine wafted by the wind already made Chu Liuxiang feel a little itchy Yes, I really want to go in and participate in one. These escorts are all from the Changsheng Escort Agency. They travel all over the country with a "Sheng" dart flag. They are very generous and bold men. Several of them have a little friendship with Chu Liuxiang. If Chu Xiangshuai is really Will go join them, these people must be happy as hell. It's a pity that Chu Liuxiang couldn't go, even if he did, they wouldn't recognize that this vulgar little businessman was Chu Liuxiang. So all he had to do was bring a jar of wine, and lay on the back of the roof, smelling their meat, and listening to those little girls playing lyrics and singing songs. Although he felt very uncomfortable, it was better than nothing. It was very late when Hu Tiehua came, and when he started drinking in the room, Chu Liuxiang was also drinking, drinking while lying on the roof, where the shadow of the ridge happened to block him. So he could see a person in tight black clothes flying from outside, but this person didn't see him. This person was very thin, wearing a very strange night clothes, even his head and face were covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of big cat-like eyes shining in the night. His lightness kung fu is also very high, but his body posture is very strange, sometimes he even helps his feet with his hands to increase his speed, he looks like a cat with four legs. But when he moves, he is not only extremely fast, but also makes no sound at all, so that people will not find his posture ridiculous, but feel indescribably mysterious and terrifying. Chu Liuxiang undoubtedly felt this way too. Because he has already seen that this person is a "ninja", a ninja from the Iga Valley of the Fusang Kingdom in Japan, and the agility he uses is exactly a kind of "cat escape" in ninjutsu. They are all people who can't see the light of day. They have received extremely strict and arduous training since they were very young, and they also live an extremely inhuman group life!You can neither have a family nor a wife and children, because the life of a ninja does not belong to you. As long as you are born as a ninja, your life's fate is already doomed. When they grow up, they will begin to accept orders from others, completely sell themselves to others, no matter how difficult and dangerous the task is, they must accept it. There are usually only three kinds of missions for them: stealing, espionage and murder. ——A ninja from Japan, why did he come to Jiangnan?What is his mission this time?
