Chapter 91: Fusang Ronin Arrives)
Huo Yuanzhen rode a white horse with nearly 60,000 taels of silver in his arms, and went to Dengfeng County to repay the debts of the money house.
This time, Huo Yuanzhen did not bring anyone. After obtaining internal strength and Wuxiangjie, Huo Yuanzhen no longer needs to be as cautious as before. He can take action when it is time to take action, so naturally he does not need protection from others.
The owner was in a good mood, and the white horse did not run too fast. He trotted all the way and arrived in Dengfeng within an hour and a half.
After entering Dengfeng, more people became more and more popular. Many people recognized Huo Yuanzhen and greeted him one after another.
Huo Yuanzhen stood in front of his chest with a single palm, nodded slightly, and came to the front of the money shop.
In the money shop, Zhao Wuji saw Huo Yuanzhen coming and hurried out to greet him.
Today is different from the past. The young monk in the past is now a famous abbot of Dengfeng. Zhao Wuji dare not neglect the god-like figure in the hearts of countless believers.
"Oh, Abbot Yijie, where are you calling?"
"Come to the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu." Huo Yuanzhen was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"Haha, Abbot Yijie was joking. Seeing you today, Zhao seemed to feel the integrity of Cangsong, which made people admire him." Zhao Wuji didn't know about the Wuxiang Divine Art, but he really felt that Huo Yuan was really different.
The two of them entered the money house, and Huo Yuanzhen took out the silver notes, "I borrowed for several months, and now I finally got enough silver. It's time to repay it."
"This is really true. Can I trust the abbot? Come and clear the abbot's loan."
The settlement began to settle the score there, Zhao Wuji poured a cup of tea for Huo Yuanzhen, and then asked Huo Yuanzhen to sit down, and the two of them slowly tasted the tea.
"Abbot, I wonder if you have heard of something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Three days ago, a group of Fusang ronin came to Dengfeng. After coming here, they kicked out everywhere. Now all the martial arts escort agencies in Dengfeng were beaten by these people. Chen Ding and Chen Daxia, who had been recuperating at home since the defeat of Dengfeng, heard of his name, but did not let him go. He went to his home to provoke. Chen Daxia was angry and fought with them, but was stabbed into the abdomen. His life was in danger and he was afraid he would not live for a few days."
"This is the case!"
Huo Yuanzhen frowned.
The so-called Fusang Langren is the Japanese pirates. After coming to this world, Huo Yuanzhen has heard a little news about Japanese pirates. Generally speaking, Japanese pirates harass fishermen in the coastal areas of Shandong and offend our seas. Henan is not in the sea. No Japanese pirates have ever come before.
But this time, Japanese pirates came to Henan, which is a very telling problem.
Henan is still Guan Tianzhao's territory. Although the princess ran back to Chang'an, there was no movement in Chang'an. I heard that the court had the intention of conquering Henan, but no soldiers came.
On the contrary, Guan Tianzhao actively prepared for the war, the army was frequently mobilized, and even began to recruit soldiers among the people, which was obviously preparing to fight with the court.
At this time, the Japanese pirates appeared in Guan Tianzhao's territory, which made people think a lot.
As for the other party’s challenge to the martial arts escort agency in Dengfeng, Huo Yuanzhen felt that it was not very strange. It would be strange if they were willing to live a peaceful life. Maybe one day they would go to his Shaolin to challenge.
"Does Manager Zhao know how many of those ronin people are? Where are they living now?"
"There are quite a lot of people, there seem to be sixty or seventy people, and there are a few leaders among them. These people are also quite powerful. Chen Daxia has been famous for many years, but when fighting with those ronin, he didn't use the leaders to attack. Just one of those people came out of them, took a strange knife, and defeated Chen Daxia in an incense stick of time."
"The Japanese sword!"
"I didn't remember what kind of knife, but it is said that the ronin's sword technique was very fast and fierce. Chen Daxia's folding fan was completely suppressed by him and it was useless at all."
Huo Yuanzhen nodded slightly. Chen Ding's folding fan was a small skill, and it was not as fierce as the Japanese sword during the battle. This is certain. Besides, Chen Ding was only in the middle of the acquired day. Since he dared to come to his house, it was reasonable that he failed.
Zhao Wuji continued: "And those ronin also said that not only would they defeat all the martial arts escort agencies, but they would also challenge all the sects here. It is said that they would go to Shaolin Temple in a few days."
"Oh, have they been to Zhongyue Sect?"
It makes sense for Huo Yuanzhen to ask this question, because the Zhongyue Sect is closer to Dengfeng, and if those ronin challenge, they should also choose Zhongyue Sect first.
"There is no such thing. These ronin and the people from the Zhongyue Sect have met, but many people thought they were going to fight, but both sides seemed to have not seen each other and passed by."
Huo Yuanzhen smiled. This matter was interesting. The Zhongyue Sect is a member of the Tiandao Alliance, and the Tiandao Alliance represents the Henan martial arts world. Both sides turned a blind eye to it. The key is intriguing.
"Where are those ronin now?"
"I heard them yesterday that they were going to challenge the last escort agency in the city today, Qinglong escort agency. I guess they were about to set off at this time. What? The master also wants to go and see the fun?"
"It's so lively, it's also necessary to see."
At this time, the settlement had been settled, with a total principal and interest of 52,000 taels. Huo Yuanzhen collected the remaining silver notes and said goodbye to Zhao Wuji.
Many people on the road were heading in one direction, which was the direction of the Qinglong Escort Agency in the city.
The head of the Qinglong Escort Agency's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Chaotian. He is also a mid-term acquired person. He is good at using a Daguan sword and takes a strong path, with Wu Yi and Chen Ding being the same as Bo Zhong.
Huo Yuanzhen rode a horse fast, but when he arrived in front of the Qinglong Escort Agency, there were already many people around him.
There was no situation in the yard outside, and Huo Yuanzhen came to the door. People saw that it was Yijie's abbot and gave way to him.
Huo Yuanzhen trunked the horse outside the yard and entered the yard alone.
There are also many people inside, standing in two hatchbacks.
On one side were the escorts and trampers of the Qinglong Escort Agency, each holding weapons, with twenty or thirty people. Wu Chaotian stood in front of the team, holding his Daguan knife in his hand, and glaring at the other party.
On the other side, there were only four people, wearing white clothes, with big pants on the lower body, clogs on the feet, and tied their hair high. They were the group of Fusang ronin.
The leading little Fusangron, holding a battle knife in his hand. At this time, he held the hilt of the knife with both hands, with the tip of the knife facing down, and was looking at Wu Chaotian and others with contempt.
"Wu Pao Head!"
The voice of this ronin is a bit stiff, but he can still hear it clearly. He should have been specially learning the language of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
"You think clearly whether to take off the escort agency's sign or fight with us, and we will give you a fair choice!"
"Bah! My old Wu's escort agency has been in Dengfeng City for almost twenty years. When did you pick up the brand? You just barbarians are worthy of coming to our escort agency to act wildly. I really think that no one in the prosperous Tang Dynasty will come!"
Old Wu was not very capable, but his momentum was quite strong. Daguan Knife forced a pestle to the ground and smashed the blue brick below.
The rogues and trampers behind them also shouted and asked these ronin to get out.
Not only them, but also the people behind them also shouted, asking Wu Pao Tou to teach these ronin a lesson.
They are all people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is normal to have internal conflicts on weekdays, but when faced with the provocations of Gentiles, people are still unanimous to the outside world.
Moreover, these ronin have challenged around in recent days and have won many times, which really makes people feel embarrassed. They all hope that someone can teach these ronin a good lesson.
When Wu Chaotian heard the people shouting, he felt even more proud and said to the ronin: "You guys, knelt down and kowtow to me now, and then said in front of all our fellow villagers that they will never set foot on the land of our prosperous Tang Dynasty. I will let you leave, otherwise, no one of them will leave!"
Hearing Wu Chaotian's words, a cheer came from the crowd, which was relieved!
The ronin looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"What are you guys laughing at?"
Wu Chaotian was furious when he was ridiculed.
"You should have a saying in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that those who know the times are heroes. After we came to Dengfeng, we were invincible. We did not see a decent martial arts man. And you, the Qinglong Escort Agency, are the only ones who know a little martial arts skills. You are not our opponent at all. You! With such strength, you dare to threaten us! You are simply ungrateful!"
"Shut up! Xiao Liuzi, go up and teach them a lesson!"
Wu Chaotian roared, and a strong young man jumped out from behind, holding a steel knife in his hand, and said to the ronin: "Who dares to come out and fight with Liu Ye!"
After saying that, Xiao Liuzi played a few tricks and started a hiding start, waiting for the other party to come.
Huo Yuanzhen was secretly shocked to see that this kid's sword technique was too bad, and he couldn't even understand it even if he hid his head and wrapped his head. He almost scratched his neck. With such strength, he dared to come out and show his eyes.
However, those ordinary people don’t think so, and they still applaud in unison.
The leading ronin looked at it and said to a ronin behind him: "You have the worst strength, I've given this person to you. Remember, no weapons are allowed!"
"Hi! I understand, it is a shame for us to use weapons against such people!"
After the ronin finished speaking, he walked out slowly and said to Xiao Liuzi: "You, get on!"
"Oh, underestimate your Sixth Master, don't go and look at the knife!"
Xiao Liuzi rushed up with a knife, and he slashed Huashan with one sword.
"Come on, Master Six!"
"Sixth Master is a good person!"
There was another cheer in the crowd.
The ronin looked at Xiao Liuzi who was slashing with his sword. When the blade approached him, he flashed slightly to the side, avoided Xiao Liuzi's steel knife, and then quickly pulled out a punch and hit Xiao Liuzi hard in the abdomen.
Xiao Liuzi arched his body and fell like a shrimp. His face turned red and his tongue was spitting out. He was already out of breath.
The crowd that was still cheering just now was as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and the sound came to an abrupt end.
