C184 Wu Sian
"Where did you start?" Duan Tianya grabbed a chair and sat down. He took off a chicken leg and started to eat. Tieniu couldn't help but pick up a whole roast duck and started to eat.
Liao Qingshu didn't have any intention of stopping him. He fanned his fan a few times and said, "This is a competition of drinking capacity. "
When he heard that it was a competition of drinking capacity, Xuan Zhengchen smiled and said to Duan Tianya, "Looks like Duan will have to force himself to break the rule today. "
Duan Tianya threw the chicken leg bone to the ground and said, "I am only here to clear the suspicion, not to drink. "
"If I lose this last round, all my efforts will be in vain. "
"Don't worry, we won't lose. " Duan Tianya pointed his finger at Xue Kang. Xue Kang was stunned for a moment. It could be seen from his expression that if it was a sword competition, he would be happy to help, but when it came to drinking, it was obvious that he was unwilling to do so. However, although he was unwilling, Xue Kang still picked up a bowl and filled it up, waiting for the fight to begin.
Liao Qingshu folded the paper fan, rolled up his sleeves, and sat opposite of Xue Kang. He smiled and said, "This is the last stage. I will compete with you!"
"You? Can you do it?"
"Are you looking down on me?" Liao Qingshu poured a full bowl and finished it in one gulp. Xue Kang did not want to be outdone. Just like that, they would not give each other a bowl.
Until each of them drank thirteen bowls, Liao Qingshu waved his hand and signaled, "Stop right there. I admit defeat. "
Xue Kang was puzzled and said, "Look at you. Isn't it too early to talk about victory and defeat now?"
Liao Qingshu said, "This is a newly brewed sorghum. It's very strong. If you drink too much, you will have a headache. "
Xue Kang did not refute. He himself did not like to talk very much, but he knew that such a good wine, even if he was drunk, his head would not hurt.
After passing all five stages, Xuan Zhengchen hurriedly asked, "We have already passed all five stages. Why hasn't Woo Sian shown himself yet?"
Liao Qingshu smiled and said, "My family's Master thought that none of you would pass our test, so he has already fallen asleep. "
Xuan Zhengchen was already a little anxious, but when he heard that Woo Sian had actually fallen asleep leisurely, he couldn't help but shout out loudly. "What the hell is Woo Sian doing? When he sleeps at this hour, even if he goes to the banquet now, I have to find him. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a person walked in from outside the door. His back was open, and his back was exposed. He had a pair of small eyes, but his gaze was abnormally sharp. Behind him was a handsome young man, and he held a sword in his hands.
This person slowly walked forward. As he walked, he sized up Duan Tianya and the others from head to toe. When he arrived in front of Hou Jian, he cupped his fists and said, "Brother Hou, I trust you've been well since we last met. "
Hou Jian returned the salute and said, "Wu Master, how have you been?"
It turned out that this man was the Master of Golden Snake Hall, Woo Sian. He had met Hou Jian a few times before and admired his character. Woo Sian was temperamental, and there weren't many people that could be valued by him.
Hou Jian then asked, "When we met before, we didn't have so many rules!"
Woo Sian said, "If you were the one who came to find me today, there wouldn't be such trivial matters. However, the person who came to find me today is Xuan Zhengchen, so these rules must be abided by. " His words made Xuan Zhengchen roll his eyes, but he didn't want to flare up.
Woo Sian walked leisurely to the chair and lay down. The young man behind him poured him a glass of wine. Woo Sian took a sip and said in an orderly manner, "Xuan Zhengchen, you have been constantly causing trouble in the Jianghu these past few days. Why have you come to my Golden Snake Hall today?"
There was some anger in Xuan Zhengchen's stomach, but he could only bear it and said, "My nephew, Xuan Peng, was killed. "
Woo Sian said in a strange tone. "What does it matter to me that your nephew was killed?"
"How can I not take revenge for my family members being killed?" As he spoke, Xuan Zhengchen's eyes were filled with tears.
However, Woo Sian obviously did not buy it. He stood up slightly and said: "You have an idea now?"
Xuan Zhengchen said somewhat helplessly, "This person's martial arts and sword skills are very powerful. He is definitely not an ordinary person. "
"So you are looking for famous people in the martial arts world?" Xuan Zhengchen asked.
Xuan Zhengchen did not deny it and nodded. Woo Sian laughed and said, "Let's not talk about whether this is a needle in a haystack or not. Even if you find this needle, it may not be what you are looking for. "
"Then I'm looking for it too. What else can I take into account at my age?" Xuan Zhengchen's eyes were firm. Woo Sian looked at him and sat up. There was some respect in his eyes. In his eyes, Xuan Zhengchen was just a strong man who only cared about profits.
Woo Sian stood up and said. "You suspect that I killed him?"
Xuan Zhengchen said. "As long as you are good at martial arts, you could be the murderer," Xuan Zhengchen said.
Woo Sian looked a little helpless and said, "Could it be that your enemies in the martial arts world have come looking for you?"
Xuan Zhengchen said seriously, "Impossible. My nephew and I have been in seclusion for many years. Even in these few years, we did not have any conflicts with anyone. "
Woo Sian scratched his head and said, "How many times did you find me?"
Xuan Zhengchen replied, "I was the second one who looked for you. "
"Who is the first one?"
"Xiao Chen, who is the first one?" asked Xuan Zhengchen.
"He is an assassin. We should look for him. " After saying that, he asked: "Then why am I the second one?"
Xuan Zhengchen answered truthfully. "Because the journey is short. "
Woo Sian was stunned at first, and he was obviously at a loss because of this direct answer. He sat down and wanted to eat some food, but when he picked up the chopsticks, he found that all the food on the table had been eaten up by Tieniu and Duan Tianya. Woo Sian was not angry at this moment. He put down the chopsticks and told Liao Qingshu to prepare another table of food and wine.
But this time, there were five roast chickens. Woo Sian also saw it clearly. Less were served. It really wasn't enough for this burly man in front of him.
Looking at the table full of fish and meat, Tieniu started to eat without caring about anything else. Woo Sian and Xuan Zhengchen introduced the people around them to each other. When they talked about Duan Tianya, Duan Tianya quickly said, "I am Zhang San. " When Xuan Zhengchen heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood what he meant. "Yes, Brother Zhang San," she said.
The reason why Duan Tianya said that was because he had no other choice. Xuan Zhengchen had mentioned that many experts in the martial arts world wanted to compete with him. However, few of these people had actually seen Duan Tianya. He was just famous. However, this also reminded Duan Tianya of something. It should be someone with malicious intentions who was playing tricks in the dark. This was also the main reason why he agreed to let Xuan Zhengchen investigate Xuan Peng's death.
However, the straightforward Tieniu did not know the details. Just as he was about to say something, Duan Tianya stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth. He said sternly: "You can't stop your mouth from eating so much. From now on, you are not allowed to speak without my permission. "
Tieniu looked at him eagerly. Although he still didn't understand why Duan Tianya didn't allow him to speak, as long as Duan Tianya didn't allow him to speak, he really wouldn't say another word. Besides, there was still so much wine and meat in front of him.
