Chapter 36 The Sword Fighter

Suddenly a person broke into Zhu Tianwei's birthday banquet, and kept saying that he wanted to compete with Zhan Zhao.

The person who came here not only grew up, but also carried a sword on his back, a very long sword, which was four feet away, and a person with such a long sword was not mediocre, let alone if he dared to challenge Zhan Zhao face to face. You have to have guts.

Hearing that this person came to look for Zhan Zhao, Zhu Tianwei didn't want to issue an order to evict the guest, so he just looked at Zhan Zhao to see what he would do.

Everyone in the hall was immediately excited and chattered again, thinking that today's birthday banquet will not only be delicious and delicious, but also have a lot of drama.

Bai Xinyu didn't look aside, looked left and right at this person, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, but his face remained calm.

Ding Yuehua looked at the visitor, and then at Zhan Zhao.She has always firmly believed that Zhan Zhao's martial arts is naturally the best in the world, but seeing that the person who came here is also extraordinary, she is obviously not worried, but she can't help being a little worried. .

Zhan Zhao's face was calm, but embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he coughed lightly, and said, "Brother Zhu, this is Sheng Donglai, who is called Donglai Swordsman by people in the Jianghu. Brother Sheng, this is Zhu Zhuzhuang's owner. "

He never mentioned the contest, but only introduced it to everyone.It turned out that since he left Kaifeng mansion and traveled all the way, he met Sheng Donglai, and he wholeheartedly wanted to compete with swords.Zhan Zhao couldn't push it away, and felt very disturbed.

When Zhu Tianwei and the others heard Sheng Donglai's name, they raised their brows and looked again with wide eyes.

Donglai swordsman Sheng Donglai is a master of swordsmanship. Although he debuted not long ago, he has repeatedly challenged several famous sword masters in the martial arts world. So far he has not failed.

Zhu Tianwei clasped his fists again as a salute, and said, "It turns out that Brother Sheng, a swordsman from the east, is here. It is a great honor. I heard that Brother Sheng competed with Zhang Hongfa, the master of Wuying Sword in Tianshan three months ago, and defeated him within fifty moves..."

Sheng Donglai said: "I only defeated his sword in No. 40 eight moves. If I didn't want to learn more about Tianshan Wuying swordsmanship, I could have defeated him in No. 30 two moves."

If his words were uttered by ordinary people, it would definitely make people feel too arrogant, but when he said them, his attitude was extremely serious, without any hint of arrogance. It was obvious that he was a martial idiot. Mixed with the slightest common sense.

Bai Xinyu had been looking at Sheng Donglai with good eyes, but after hearing what he said, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

Zhu Tianwei didn't know how to deal with it, so he turned his head to look at Bai Qingfeng, then at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Brother Sheng is indeed a hero, please sit down and drink a glass of thin wine."

Sheng Donglai shook his head, and said, "I'm not here for a drink or a meal, I'm here for a martial arts competition with Nan Xia. Hero Zhan, please." He opened his posture as he spoke, as if he was about to draw his sword .

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Zhan Zhao's face, thinking: "If I can witness these two swordsmanship with my own eyes, I will really earn back the gift money today."

Zhan Zhao seemed to have dealt with this situation many times before, bowed his head and coughed a few times, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, brother Sheng, I won't fight with you."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Sheng Donglai, thinking: "Will this Donglai swordsman strike first and force Zhan Zhao to fight?"

There was the guest sitting in the front who quietly moved the seat back, fearing that he would hurt innocent people with his hands.

Zhan Zhao's refusal seemed to have been expected by Sheng Donglai, and he was not annoyed. He looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Okay, I won't compare today. I'll ask you tomorrow." He clasped his fist at Zhu Tianwei again, and said, " Thank you for your kindness to the owner, then I will not be polite."

After he finished speaking, he was really not polite at all. When he saw Bai Qingyun leaving the empty seat, he swayed his long legs and went to sit down.He stretched out his big hand again, and poured out a glass of wine. He tilted his head again, and drank the wine.He clicked his lips, looked up at Zhu Tianwei, and said seriously: "Why does the Zhu owner call it thin wine? This wine is very full-bodied, and it is a rare good wine."

Zhu Tianwei was stunned for a moment, staring at him, not knowing whether he was joking or serious, and said with a sneer, "Thank you, thank you."

Ding Yuehua couldn't bear it any longer and laughed out loud.Bai Xinyu looked at Sheng Donglai and smiled slowly.Even Zhan Zhao laughed.

After a few words, Zhu Tianwei saw that Sheng Donglai's intentions were pure, and he was relieved.In fact, although this Sheng Donglai is arrogant and weird, he is just a man in the world and not a troublesome person, but Zhan Zhao who is sitting over there seems to be gentler and more humble than Sheng Donglai, and he is worthy of his brother, but he does not show his sharpness , is the hardest to deal with.

Zhu Tianwei thought about it for a while, and asked Zhan Zhao: "Brother Zhan just mentioned those big cases of extermination. Everyone here is from the local area, and they are very concerned. I wonder if Brother Zhan has any clues to solve the case?" The question was, why didn't Zhan Zhao go anywhere, but went to Zhujiazhuang to investigate the case?But how could he ask that?

Zhan Zhao looked at him, his expression became serious, and said: "These big cases have been filed for many years, but the local government is helpless, unable to solve the case, so they have to send the filing to the Kaifeng government. Not long ago, the local government suddenly reported and arrested them locally. A suspect tried to sell jewelry. Because of his suspicious appearance, he was arrested and investigated, and found that the jewelry sold was the family heirloom of Li Fushen's family who had been looted. From someone else's hand, I searched further and found that the owner of the jewelry was once an abandoned servant of Zhujiazhuang. After I got this clue, I came to Zhujiazhuang specially, and wanted to ask Brother Zhu to help investigate."

Zhu Tianwei's eyes were uncertain, and he forced a smile and said: "So that's the case, brother Yu knows nothing, I wonder if Brother Zhan can tell that the owner is a poor servant of my Zhujiazhuang? Brother Yu will definitely hand over this slave to you, and there will be no mercy. "

Zhan Zhao looked at him with piercing eyes, and said slowly, "The owner's name is Zhu Li."

Zhu Tianwei thought for a while, and said: "Zhu Li? Brother Yu doesn't remember that there is such a person in the village." He glanced at Zhan Zhao again, suddenly raised his hand to pat the table, and said loudly: "I don't know where this Zhu Li is now? I I would like to see which daring dog slave dares to pretend to be a member of my Zhu family to kill and destroy the family and commit these big crimes!"

Zhan Zhao said: "Zhu Li has been assassinated in prison."

Zhu Tianwei's eyes flickered, he couldn't tell whether he was more worried or relieved, and said, "Dead? Does this person have an accomplice to kill someone to silence him?"

Zhan Zhao said: "These big robberies have plundered a lot of wealth. The murders range from a few dozen people to hundreds of people. It is definitely not something that one person can do. It must be done by a large and strict organization."

I wish Tianwei a oh, and bowed his head in silence.Everyone was also silent.

Bai Xinyu was not interested in these robberies, and suddenly said slowly to Sheng Dong beside him: "Why do you want to compete with Zhan Daxia?"

Sheng Donglai was concentrating on eating and drinking. When she heard her question, he immediately wiped his lips with oil, looked directly at her, and said seriously, "Of course it's to compete with swordsmen."

"Why do you have to be better at swordsmanship than anyone else?" Bai Xinyu asked unhurriedly.

"Sword learners of course have to encourage themselves from time to time, hoping to improve their swordsmanship to a higher level." Sheng Donglai said.

"Sword skills have improved, so what?" Bai Xinyu asked.

"It's good to have better swordsmanship, of course, but there's no reason for it." Sheng Donglai had never thought about it so much, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand and scratching his head when he was pressed by her repeatedly, before he said it for a while.

Bai Xinyu stopped talking, poured a glass of wine slowly, took a sip slowly.

Sheng Donglai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and focused on watching Bai Xinyu's every move. Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, he asked, "Why do you ask that? Do you think it's better to have better swordsmanship?"

Bai Xinyu slowly put down his wine glass, his face suddenly turned cold, he seemed too lazy to look at Sheng Donglai, and said slowly: "It's nothing bad, it's very good."

Sheng Donglai thought for a while, and felt that he still had something to say, but he couldn't think of what to say for a moment. He lowered his head and picked up the glass, wanting to take a sip of wine, but he still couldn't stop thinking about it. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Xinyu, then turned his head, But immediately turned to look at her again.He suddenly felt that the good wine and dishes on the table had changed and lost all taste, so he simply put down the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Bai Xinyu intently.

Bai Xinyu was not in a hurry, either took a bite of the food slowly, or whispered a few words to Ding Yuehua, and let Sheng Donglai look at him attentively and seriously, as if he suddenly forgot the existence of this person.
