C305 The Brave Thief
Duan Tianya felt puzzled. He didn't even know about the duel between him and Shenzong Xin, but Little Zhuge knew it better than him. He asked, "What's going on?"
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "A Duan Tianya recently appeared in the martial arts world. His sword skills are very good. This time, he sent a letter of challenge to the Eastern Ocean Blade Warrior. "
"Can you find him?"
Little Zhuge was puzzled and asked, "Who? Is he an assassin from the East Ocean? Or is he an imposter?"
Duan Tianya said, "Of course he's an imposter. "
Little Zhuge said, "He's staying at Tianya's inn right now. " Then he asked, "Who is that little girl to you?"
Duan Tianya said, "She is just a friend of mine who asked me to take care of her. "
Little Zhuge sighed and said, "The heavens are really unfair. Not only do you have beautiful girls like Zhuh Wushuang and Choo Xianyun, even Red Scorpion is willing to spend the rest of her life with you. " After saying that, he kept shaking his head.
Duan Tianya and Little Zhuge got along very well. They could be called like-minded. He liked Little Zhuge's gentleman temperament. At least a smart person did not hide his inner thoughts in front of you. This kind of friend was worth befriending.
The current Tianya Wine House was a place that heroes in the martial world yearned for. It was not a bad thing to be able to drink a jar of good wine here.
Zhang San was still as simple as ever. He was a wealthy merchant who had a fortune of ten thousand, but he still personally took charge of the daily life of the winery. His mother was safe and sound, and the couple was happy and happy. Although Zhang San was not a person from the pugilistic world, he had obtained something that people in the pugilistic world dreamed of.
He was rich and powerful.
With his status, all the pugilists in the pugilistic world came to support him, but no one dared to cause trouble in the winery.
Tieniu no longer had to worry about food. He could eat anything he wanted here, but most of the work in the winery was done by him.
Duan Tianya asked Huizi to stay at the restaurant to eat some food, while he himself took two jars of good wine and went around Tianya's inn. When the lady boss and Changqing saw him, they teased him. "You have already stayed in the room upstairs. Why are you still here? Don't tell me you have a brother?"
Duan Tianya knew that these two were talking about why there was another 'Duan Tianya' here.
Duan Tianya asked, "Where is that person?"
Changqing replied, "In the first room on the left side of the top three rooms. "
Duan Tianya patted Changqing's shoulder and teased, "You seem to have lost some weight!"
Changqing disapproved and said, "Heart is relaxed, body is fat, and mind is refreshed. "
Duan Tianya smiled and went upstairs to the first room on his left. He wanted to open the window and peek, but he heard someone inside saying, "Friends outside can come in and have a chat. " He had been discovered and could only walk in.
As soon as he entered, he found a young man sitting by a round table. He was holding a white cotton cloth to wipe the sword in his hand. The sword was cold and shiny. He was very careful with it. He was happy to see Duan Tianya come in.
"Who are you?" He asked casually, without any hostility.
Duan Tianya said, "I came here because of your fame. "
That person said, "You should know that I am not the real Duan Tianya. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "But I may not recognize the real Duan Tianya either. "
The man did not hide anything and said, "Because they know that I am fake. So you are the first person to come here these few days. "
Duan Tianya liked to interact with people who were not hypocritical. When he saw that there were only a few pieces of silver on the table, he said, "It seems like you don't have much silver left. "
That person still did not try to hide it. "Yes, if this continues, I'm afraid that before the eighth of next month, I will have to sleep on the streets. "
Duan Tianya laughed. "But if you meet me, you will not be sleeping on the streets. "
The man said in surprise. "You and I have never met before, why are you helping me?"
Duan Tianya said, "I already said that I came here because of my fame. " Duan Tianya asked, "May I know your name?"
The man said, "Du Buyue!"
"Du Buyue? the man asked. What a good name. "
Duan Tianya gave him some gold and silver, but Du Buyue didn't want it. In his words, he didn't know if he could live past the eighth of next month, as long as he didn't fall into the streets.
Every swordsman had their own dignity. Although Du Buyue was a thief, he was a hundred times better than those who didn't dare to admit it.
Duan Tianya prepared a table of good food and drinks for Du Buyue. He ate very well. It must have been a long time since he had a full meal. It made people's heart ache when they saw it.
Duan Tianya filled up the good wine that he brought with him again. Du Buyue drank it all in one gulp and said happily, "I didn't think that I would be able to drink such good wine in my lifetime. "
Duan Tianya was puzzled and said, "Since you don't have confidence in this duel, why did you send a letter of challenge?"
Du Buyue said with a faint smile. "In order to become famous, you also want to rectify your name. "
His words were full of sadness and also revealed helplessness. Duan Tianya could not avoid making a name for himself, but in front of Du Buyue, he had to use his life to exchange for it. At this moment, he was Duan Tianya. In the next moment, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would be Du Buyue, a name that belonged to him.
Duan Tianya asked, "Is that Eastern Ocean Sabersman not welcome? As long as someone challenges him, he will accept the challenge?"
Du Buyue shook his head and said, "Of course not. He only agreed to fight me because I defeated Qin Huo and Little Dharma. "
"What? You defeated Thunder Sword Qin Huo and Little Dharma Fa Yuan?" Duan Tianya was obviously shocked. It should be known that these two people were not just for show. It seemed that Du Buyue's sword technique had also reached a certain level.
Du Buyue asked suspiciously, "You don't believe me?"
Duan Tianya then eased his mood and said, "I don't think so. It's just that in the Pugilistic World, these two people are considered first-rate experts. If you can defeat these two people, your sword technique must be extraordinary. "
Du Buyue sighed and muttered to himself, "How can those two be compared to the East Ocean Blade Master?"
Duan Tianya was somewhat worried for Du Buyue. However, since ancient times, it was inevitable for one to win or lose in a competition. If one dared to accept the challenge, one had to bear the consequences of accepting the challenge. Losing and obtaining were complementary to each other. If one won, they would obtain all the fame and benefits they wanted. If one lost, they would still lose their own life.
The sky was almost dark. Duan Tianya stood up and left, while Du Buyue was already drunk. There were still some days left before the competition began. Being drunk at this time did not have much of an impact.
The business in Tianya Wine House was still very good. Huizi sat there and tasted the fine wine. Her alcohol tolerance was not very good, but she liked drinking. At least she liked drinking the wine here.
Duan Tianya and Huizi left the winery and prepared to go to Zhuh's Mansion. However, not long after they left, they saw a group of people blocking their way. The leader was an old man. The old man stepped forward and clasped his hands, "May I ask if you are Duan Tianya?"
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "May I ask who you are?"
The old man said, "My master has invited you to the Tianxinag Pavilion for a chat. "
