C193 The Real Harpoon

Xu Xiaomei looked at Duan Tianya's sword, which was covered with resin, and was very curious, so she asked, "Why is your sword wrapped in sackcloth, and why is it covered with so much resin?"

Duan Tianya smiled and explained, "That is because this sword originally did not look good. "

Xu Xiaomei listened and knew that he was teasing her, but she still asked, "You don't drink?"

Duan Tianya said, "Stop it. "

"How was your alcohol tolerance before?"

Duan Tianya replied, "It could be considered as good alcohol tolerance. "

Xu Xiaomei poured a bowl of wine and poured it as she said, "There are only two types of people who can quit drinking. One is that they have no more worries, and the other is that they have no friends. " Then she asked, "Which type do you belong to?"

Duan Tianya was stunned and asked in confusion. "Without any ties or friends, shouldn't we be drinking together?"

"Why would we drink when we have no friends? If you don't have friends, you can pour some for yourself and drink a few times. That's why you stopped drinking. "

Duan Tianya smiled. He clearly knew what Xu Xiaomei said was very arbitrary. Even if it was not right, there was a reason for it. But in the end, Xu Xiaomei was also a good drinker. Most of the time, she must have experienced it personally.

The air here was very good. Taking a deep breath, he calmed his breathing. Duan Tianya sat alone on the roof of Xunyang Inn, looking at the stars that filled the sky. He somewhat missed his three wives and children.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting. Looking over, he saw two people jumping onto the roof not far away. Duan Tianya hurriedly bent down, hid himself well, and then observed his every move in front of him.

One of the two people was Nine Tribulations Sword Arts Xuan Zhengchen. He was a little untidy, presumably because he was planning to sleep. The other person was dressed in black, and his face was covered. His martial arts skills were powerful, and he had a harpoon.

Duan Tianya recognized this harpoon. It was exactly the same as the one used by Xu Liangjiu. However, he did not intend to help because Hou Jian and the others had already chased after him. Therefore, he chose to wait and see.

Everyone was surprised that Xuan Zhengchen was at a disadvantage in their fight. At this time, he waved the long hook and jumped onto the roof to help Xuan Zhengchen.

The masked man saw that the situation was not good, so he waved his hand and jumped up, disappearing into the darkness.

It was like a dream. The man in black came and left in a hurry. He couldn't help but wonder if he had come or not.

While the crowd was still guessing the identity of the man in black, Xu Liangjiu suddenly came to the inn with a harpoon. Everyone looked at him and then at the harpoon in his hand. They didn't know what to say.

Xu Xiaomei broke the silence and said. "You all believe that person just now is my brother?"

Everyone was silent, but Xu Liangjiu asked, "Have you seen a black clothed person holding a harpoon like me?"

Xuan Zhengchen and the others were at a loss as to what to do. They looked at him skeptically. Xu Liangjiu also noticed the strangeness of the matter, so he continued, "I know that no one will believe what I just said. But there is indeed a man in black who lured me here. This man actually knows how to cross paths with me. "

Xuan Zhengchen went back to the room upstairs without saying a word. Duan Tianya knew what he was feeling right now. Who should he believe? Who should he trust?

Since things had come to this point, Duan Tianya said, "Actually, it's not difficult for Hero Xu to clear his name. It will just take some time. "

Xu Liangjiu asked, "What method?"

Duan Tianya said, "Now it seems that this man in black has something to do with many people. It seems like they are unrelated, but at the same time, it seems to be closely related. I think it's better this way. Take a few people's weapons, what do you think?"

Xu Liangjiu was puzzled. "Without weapons, that person's martial arts is not weak. Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? "

Duan Tianya explained, "Not everyone keeps their weapons. Only you, Xiao Chen, Hou Jian, and Xuan Zhengchen. " Then he looked at the sword in his hand and said, "Of course, there is also my Dragon-scale Sword. "

Xu Liangjiu still did not understand and said, "This way, we can know who that man in black is. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "But it will take some time. At least seven or eight days, at most one or two months. I just don't know if you are willing to hand over your weapons. "

Without saying another word, Hou Jian threw the long hook to Duan Tianya. When Xiao Chen saw Hou Jian hand over his weapon, he also threw his sword over. When he saw the two of them hand over their weapons, Xu Liangjiu also threw the harpoon over to clear suspicion.

There was still one Nine Tribulations Sword Arts left. Duan Tianya told everyone to wait for a moment. He walked up the stairs alone and arrived outside Xuan Zhengchen's house. He saw Xuan Zhengchen sighing alone, and his eyes were faintly discernible.

Seeing Duan Tianya come in, Xuan Zhengchen wiped his eyes and asked, "Duan, is there something else?"

Duan Tianya said, "I am here to get your sword. " So he told Duan Tianya about the matter of keeping the weapon. Xuan Zhengchen also knew the reason behind it, so he did not refute or ask any questions. He directly handed the sword to Duan Tianya.

After Duan Tianya went downstairs, he told Xue Kang and Meng Chong a few things, "I will be going out for a few days. You must take care of a few of them. " Then he turned to Xu Xiaomei and said, "Miss Xu, please prepare a few handy weapons for your brothers and a good horse for me. "

"Where are you going?" Xu Xiaomei did not understand. Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Not only do I need a horse, I also need your brother's harpoon. "

When everything was ready, Duan Tianya mounted the horse and said goodbye to everyone. He urged the horse to disappear into the night.

The days that they had been waiting for seemed especially leisurely. Xue Kang and Meng Chong had nothing better to do, so they sparred with each other. Xuan Zhengchen was in a good mood after being teased by Tieniu all day long. Xiao Chen and Hou Jian would drink on the roof whenever they had time. Neither of them liked to talk too much. Xiao Chen did not like to talk too much. Hou Jian, on the other hand, rarely talked.

Xu Xiaomei suffered because Xu Liangjiu kept his promise and did not take a step out of the inn. The live fish business at the pier fell on Xu Xiaomei. The poor girl had been running back and forth. Meng Chong had a good impression of Xu Xiaomei, so he helped her out when he was free. The two of them gradually developed feelings for each other.

Ten days later, five guests suddenly came to Xunyang Inn, claiming to be looking for Xuan Zhengchen. Everyone looked and saw that it was the hall master of Golden Snake Hall, Woo Sian. Behind him were Liao Qingshu, Zhu Lei, and Zhu Yan, as well as the young man with the sword on his back.

Xuan Zhengchen! Xuan Zhengchen calculated in his heart. "I still haven't figured out what happened with the flying dagger last time, but this time it has come to me. I wonder what it is for. "

Woo Sian didn't stand on ceremony. He went forward and said to Xuan Zhengchen, "That man called Zhang San is now called Duan Tianya. He has already told us about the matter. Let me tell you now, that flying dagger is definitely not the doing of someone from the Golden Snake Hall. "

His intention was obvious at this point. He wasn't here to cause trouble. Perhaps Liao Qingshu was worried that Woo Sian's strange temper would hurt their relationship. He went forward and cupped his hands, "We have already known what happened. I think there must be someone involved in this. Duan asked me to tell you all about this. Even if we can't find out who this person is, we will definitely be able to prove everyone's innocence. "
