Chapter 5

After the Saber Masters' Convention, Tanhu stayed in the small town to look at the capital.
During this time, he had gone to the forest outside the town several times, but he had never seen the purple-robed woman playing the zither again.
He had also visited the Fallen Moon Pavilion several times in the evening, and there were quite a few pedestrians outside, but rarely any people had stopped.
Tanhu had only looked downstairs.
The lamps upstairs were bright, but not a single person could be seen.
Judging from the situation, it really wasn't a place where ordinary citizens were bored of.Tanhu stayed in Lv Shandang's pub during the day, then went out to look for a place to rest or take a stroll around.
Lv Shandang never allowed Tanhu to stay in the pub, nor did Tanhu ask for any requests.These past few days, the people who came to Lv Shandang's pub to buy wine and drink were all talking about the Mysterious Yellow Blade and the white-robed man.
Many times, Tanhu was sitting in a corner, listening to the discussions.
Tanhu wanted to know more about the white-robed man, but after several days, all he heard was speculations and flattery about the two men.On the other hand, Tanhu was very interested in the fact that Chen Changnian had gathered all the representatives of the Wulin Clan to visit Jingpo and hold a knife gathering.Lv Shandang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tanhu.Tanhu took the tea and blew on it.
"I haven't finished all six pots of wine today."Lv Shandang nodded.
"Four pots and two more bowls.
It's just that there have been more and more people who came to drink and buy liquor recently, so I'll have to save some from you."Tanhu smiled.
He choked on the tea and coughed, "Good, good."Lv Shandang smiled.
"It's all because of this knife hunt.""There are a lot of people here.
I'm afraid you have to change the rules for selling wine.
""The more people there are, the more careful they are."Tanhu nodded silently.
He had been deeply impressed by Lv Shandang's memory since their first meeting.Five years ago, at the Saber Master's conference.
Zhan Hongyang was the victor.
Chen Changnian put on the jade wristband for Zhan Hongyang.
Zhan Hongyang was dressed in red and decorated with flowers.
He rode on a tall horse and boasted for three days in Wangjingpo.
He was drunk at Lv Shandang's pub for three days.On the evening of the third day, it was Zhan Hongyang's last night at Wangling Hill.
The people who came to hold the banquet were all seated in Lv Shandang's small pub.
There were also more than a dozen tables on the open space outside the door.
Zhan Hongyang was still here to drink, and the toasters were still coming and going.Lv Shandang picked up his empty cup and picked up a bowl of wine.
Then, he walked up to Zhan Hongyang and said, "Blade Master, Lv Shandang would like to have a toast."Zhan Hongyang held a cup in his hand.
"Manager Lu, you came so late!"Lv Shandang smiled.
"I don't dare to compete with heroes.
I congratulate the blade master for winning the competition.
I thank the blade master for adding glory to the small shop.
I will do this first."Zhan Hongyang raised his chin.
"Wait."Lv Shandang raised his wine hand and stopped in midair, a smile on his face."Everyone!" Zhan Hongyang stood up and faced everyone present.
The surroundings gradually quieted down."Friends, Manager Lu is finally in high spirits.
I am the Master of the Saber, but he is the owner here.
You can't let down Manager Lu's interest!"Lv Shandang turned to everyone and said with a smile, "Fellow friends, thank you for your appreciation.
I'm opening a wine shop, but I don't have much to drink.
Let's drink this bowl and talk about my heart!" Then, he downed it in one gulp.
Lv Shandang raised the bowl towards everyone, and everyone looked at each other.
None of them responded."I won't bother you.
I won't bother you." Lv Shandang turned around and was about to leave."Thank you, Lv Zhanggui.
Let me toast to Lv Zhanggui first." A burly man stood at the table in the southeast corner of the room and waved in Lvshan's direction.Zhan Hongyang reached out and stopped him.
"Shopkeeper Lu, please wait."Lv Shandang turned around and looked at the burly man.
He forced out a smile and said, "Thank you, warrior.
Almost everyone in Wang Chengpo knows that I, Lv Shandang, am indeed not strong enough to drink when selling wine."The burly man raised his hand.
"Shopkeeper Lu, I'm not from Wangjingpo.
I don't know if you can beat alcohol or not.
Today is the day of Master Azurite's wedding.
There's no harm in drinking a few more bowls, right?"Everyone present clapped in welcome.
"Lv Zhanggui drank a bowl."Lv Shandang gritted his teeth, his face ashen.
If it weren't for the fact that the shop assistant had said that Zhan Hongyang would treat the shopkeeper to a bowl of wine, Lv Shandang wouldn't have come out to offer a toast.Now that he wanted to rest and leave, it didn't seem that easy.
Zhan Hongyang was taking advantage of this opportunity to tease Lv Shandang and provoke him.
Did you know that I, Lv Shandang, didn't put you in my eyes at all?
Lv Shandang thought to himself, and his eyes flickered with murderous intent.Lv Shandang raised the bowl of wine in his hand above his head and looked around.
Zhan Hongyang felt a surge of killing intent surging out of him.
He stood up abruptly, kicked the table in front of him, and pulled back his posture.
Everyone present instantly fell silent."A winer, someone's here to drink!" His voice was loud and clear, like the collision of metal.
It caused a deathly stillness, as if a mirror had shattered.Lv Shandang converged his gaze and looked out of the door.
Zhan Hongyang and the others also turned to look.A man with a full beard and a foreign accent was brushing off the dust on his body at the door.
"He's already sitting outside.
Business is really popular.
Can you arrange a seat for me too?"Lv Shandang opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he placed the bowl of wine on a nearby table and grinned at Zhan Hongyang.
"Master Ao, please excuse me." Then, he turned to the counter and said, "Dou Sheng, pack up the table and prepare several jugs of good wine for Master Ao."A shop-boy called Du Sheng responded and walked over to clean up the mess.Lv Shandang passed through the crowd and walked in front of the bearded man.
"Dear guest, how about a drink?"The big man laughed.
"Of course it's for drinking."Lv Shandang looked at this person from head to toe.
He had a thin figure, dark skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thick beards under his cheeks and jaws.
He had a long black cloth wrapped around his back."I'm really sorry.
Today's the Azure Knife Master's wedding day.
I've booked a small shop and I don't have any seats."The bearded man stroked his beard.
"Is the master of ablade a human name?" In the tone of voice, he emphasized the word "human".Zhan Hongyang slapped the table and stood up.
"Where did you get your friend from?"The bearded man pushed Lv Shandang to the side and directly faced Zhan Hongyang.
"I didn't meet any of your friends at the Knife Masters Conference."Zhan Hongyang jumped out of the crowd, jumped out of the room, and stood at the door.
The bearded man bowed backwards and stood on the spacious sandy ground outside the door.Zhan Hongyang pointed at the big man.
"Today is my Zhan Hongyang's wedding day.
If your friend wants to, please come to the table and have a drink."The bearded man cupped his fists.
"Thank you, Dao Master."Zhan Hongyang waved his hand.
"Shopkeeper Lu, please give me another table and a few jars of good wine."As soon as the two of them sat down, seven or eight people rushed up from behind Zhan Hongyang.
A tall and slender man walked over with a bowl in hand.
It was none other than the person who had just stood up in the southeast corner of the room and offered a toast to Lv Shandang.
The slender man walked over to the bearded man and said, "Hello, friend.
Welcome to my sabermaster's place.
I'll welcome you here first.""..."The bearded man sat on the stool and squinted.
"You are?""Lord Ao's sworn brother, everyone calls me Qi Wuzi.""Oh, please." Huzi reached out and grabbed a jar.
He raised his head, and in the blink of an eye, a jug of wine was drunk.Qi Wuzi blinked his eyes.
"It hurts...
quick!" Then he gulped down all the wine in his bowl.
With a soft "ah", he retreated to the back."Friend, your tolerance is really good.
Zhang Qi San, give a bowl to your friend!" A one-eyed man walked up to them.The bearded man glanced at him, picked up a jar, and drank it without respect.
In an instant, it was full of trickles.The bearded man drank three jugs of wine in a row.
Zhan Hongyang sat across from him, his brows tightly knitted together.Lv Shandang stood at the back of the crowd, expressionless, his hands clenched into fists.
The rest of the people who came to hold the wedding table placed down their bowls and chopsticks, forming a large circle around Zhan Hongyang and the bearded man's table.The big bearded man put down the third empty jar, wiped his mouth, and burped.
He reached out and grabbed a jar of wine.
"It's not easy, so how could I have the nerve to come here to toast?"Everyone behind Zhan Hongyang held a bowl of wine and stood there like wooden logs.The bearded man placed his hands on the jar and looked at Zhan Hongyang.
"With so many people supporting the stage, even trash can become the saber master."Veins popped up on Zhan Hongyang's forehead.
"Friend, how should I address you?"The bearded man raised his head and laughed.
"The surname is Zhen!
A family's name is the real blade master!"Zhan Hongyang snorted, "My friend is here to smash the place."The bearded man waved his hand.
"It's not accurate.
I'm here to smash you!"Zhan Hongyang raised his hand and flipped the table.
The bearded man jumped behind the stool and kicked the stool into the air.
The tables and chairs collided, and with a crack in the air, splinters of wood fell to the ground.Zhan Hongyang took the bronze decapitation knife from the person behind him and opened it.
The bearded man had his clothes tied around his waist.
He took the bag from his back and unfolded it gently, revealing a long black handled knife.
The bearded man drew the knife in his hand, and a green light flashed.Zhan Hongyang shouted, "Please!" At the end of the speech, he rushed forward to the bearded man.Lv Shandang's eyes lit up as he stared at the crowd.
The saber technique of the bearded man was rather strange.
Lv Shandang thought to himself,?Which family's saber technique is this?
In terms of style, it's very similar to the saber style in the east.
It's unbridled and unrestrained, and it doesn't restrict any small techniques.
However, there's a faint mark of a horse's saber technique between the moves.Could it be the Northwestern region?
Lv Shandang furrowed his brows.Zhan Hongyangtong's entire body was drenched in sweat.
In the past twenty years, he had traveled to the north and south.
The techniques of fist techniques and saber techniques that he knew from the inside to the outside were considered to be well-versed in his chest.
Even though he had practiced the art of saber techniques, tigers, and wolfs in the far northwest region, he had practiced it.
However, at this moment, he didn't know the pattern of the bearded man.Zhan Hongyang didn't know who the enemy was.
As he thought about it, he could tell that he knew very well the changes in my technique.
As for his technique, I didn't know it.
The combination of this bearded man's moves didn't make any sense.
It wasn't something that could be changed from a traditional pattern.Zhan Hongyang didn't know what to do.
His feet were in a mess, and he took a step back.
Suddenly, his vision blurred.
The head-slaying saber in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and the tip of the bearded man's saber was right at his throat.The entire venue was in an uproar.Zhan Hongyang spread out his arms and leaned back, not daring to move in the slightest.
