Chapter 3 Brothel Banquet
In martial arts, there are boundaries.
Although the vast majority of people claim to be in the martial arts world, they are actually low-level characters. Most of these people have learned some superficial foreign skills and can deal with three or two ordinary people. Ninety percent of the martial artists in Changling County All of the above belong to this category, and some people can be comparable to third-rate warriors if they are refined.
And the so-called third-rate warriors have cultivated internal strength, and their internal strength is not weak. This kind of person can be regarded as a master in Changling County, just like among the two clans and gangs, third-rate warriors are already elites. Yes, it is enough to be a big leader in the Flying Eagle Gang, in charge of hundreds of people.
And the second-rate warriors at a higher level are definitely powerful in Changling County. With this name alone, they can become the honored guests of any force. This kind of realm is already the highest in Changling County. The power shown is also very few.
As for first-rate masters, this is an absolute powerhouse. Once Langya County came to Jiangyang Bandit, he was a first-rate master. The court sent thousands of elite soldiers to besiege them, but in the end they were killed by that Jiangyang Bandit and hundreds of people fled away. A master of this strength , can already completely influence the changes in power in Changling County.
Gu Qingci accepted Lu Dayou's cultivation base. He is considered a third-rate late-stage warrior, not comparable to Pang Shilong. However, he also integrated the 20-year-old swordsmanship of the one-word electric sword Ding Jian, which may not be weaker than Pang Shilong. , is mental calculation without intention, a little more certainty.
"I know he is a second-rate warrior, that's why I told you to take a gamble. Life and death depend on wealth and wealth. World Union, you have to think about it!" Gu Qingci said lightly.
At this moment, Gu Qingci suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, thrust out the sword like lightning, and then a few wisps of sword light floated out, illuminating Ma Shilian's eyes sorely, after the sword, everything dissipated, Gu Qing resigned his long sword and put it back into its sheath.
"Boom"
With a loud noise, the stool in front of Ma Shilian fell apart, and three flat cuts clearly showed that it was cut by Gu Qingci with a sword.
This is the one-word electric sword, there are not too many gorgeous moves, only one characteristic, that is, fast, Ding Jian has used it for twenty years, and can stab three swords in an instant, but now Gu Qingci has mastered this ability , not weaker than Ding Jian.
"This... this... how is it possible?"
Ma Shilian looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded. He thought he knew Gu Qingci well, but he never knew that Gu Qingci also practiced martial arts, and his strength was so tyrannical.
"My lord, when did you become so skilled at swordsmanship, my lord..."
Gu Qingci waved his hand and said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know, just follow my request immediately, if it succeeds, this county will grant you prosperity forever."
"Yes, yes, I'm going now!"
Ma Shilian left Gu Qingci's mansion in a hurry, and ran outside, only to be calmed down by the cold wind, and looked back at Gu Qingci's mansion with deep taboo.
"Unexpectedly, since the lord is hiding so deeply, it's a good thing that I have always treated the lord sincerely, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated."
Ma Shilian has just felt Gu Qingci's killing intent, he has no doubt that Gu Qingci will kill him, recalling what Gu Qingci has done in the past year, suddenly, he feels that Gu Qingci is so unpredictable, so profound Martial arts, unexpectedly has not been shown, even the assassination did not show traces.
After staying with Gu Qingci for so long, Ma Shilian knew very well that Gu Qingci was not seriously injured like the outside rumors.
"Could it be that my lord has been hiding his clumsiness all along, then paralyzing the enemy, and then giving the enemy a fatal blow, this... is a deep calculation, and just now, the lord's method of hitting a stick with one hand and giving a candy is not like usual. Such a scheming person, maybe the adults already have other arrangements!"
Ma Shilian suddenly felt that his life was about to break through the clouds and see the glory. When walking, he couldn't help but feel a little lighter under his feet.
In fact, everything was made up by Ma Shilian himself. Gu Qingci never thought that Ma Shilian would think so much. The reason why he showed his martial arts in front of Ma Shilian was because he felt that Ma Shilian would know about it sooner or later. Take a look, let him have a little confidence in his heart, so as not to make mistakes.
…
Changling County, Pang's family.
An invitation was sent to Pang Shilong. After reading the contents of the invitation, he threw the invitation to his housekeeper and asked, "Zhang Xu, what do you think Ma Shilian is hosting me at Mingcui Tower suddenly? ?”
Pang Shilong's butler, Zhang Xu, is not only Pang Shilong's butler, but also plays the role of a military adviser. Zhang Xu's contribution to Pang Shilong's ability to sit safely in the county captain's position all these years is indisputable.
Zhang Xu also looked at the invitation, and said: "Master, I received the news that Ma Shilian is preparing to escape these two days. I am afraid that he is worried about being blocked by the Cheng family and wants to ask the master for help."
"The Cheng family will trouble him?" Pang Shilong asked doubtfully.
Zhang Xu smiled and said: "Who in Changling County doesn't know that Ma Shilian is loyal to our county magistrate Lengtouqing. If he wants to run for his life, he won't run alone."
"So that's how it is." Pang Shilong stroked his beard and said, "Then I won't go. If I make a move, I will offend the Cheng family. It's not worth it for a stunned young man."
"No," Zhang Xu hurriedly said, "Master, you should go."
"Why?" Pang Shilong asked.
Zhang Xu smiled inscrutably, and said: "Gu Qingci's stunned young man is a master with two sleeves, but this Ma Shilian is different. He has made a lot of money this year. Master, you can pretend to agree to Ma Shilian's request, and wait The money is in hand, if you don't help, what can he do with you?"
"That's right," Pang Shilong slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea, then let's go to the banquet tonight!"
Mingcui Building is a well-known brothel in Changling County. Although it is not the largest, it is also very good.
In order to entertain Pang Shilong, Ma Shilian specially reserved a high-quality private room on the second floor, and Gu Qingci came to this private room early in the morning. He came secretly and did not let anyone find out. Ten people do not know.
However, Gu Qingci admired Ma Shilian's ability very much. If Ma Shilian hadn't shown him the secret hands arranged by Ma Shilian himself, he would not have noticed any of them. These people are very well hidden, and they look like ordinary people. Like tourists looking for fun.
It’s getting dark, it’s been a long time, but Pang Shilong didn’t arrive for a long time, Ma Shilian was already a little anxious to wait, and said: "My lord, do you think that Pang Shilong refuses to come?"
Gu Qingci was not in a hurry, drank his tea slowly, and said, "Didn't he already promise you?"
"But he..."
Gu Qingci waved his hand and said: "Pang Shilong is just making a gesture, deliberately leaving you here, don't worry, he will come soon."
At this moment, a servant suddenly came in and said to Ma Shilian: "Master Ma, Pang Shilong is here!"
Gu Qingci and Ma Shilian looked at each other, then quietly retreated behind the screen and hid.
After an incense stick of effort, Pang Shilong came. This Pang Shilong was a bold man with a high degree of art, and he came in with only one person. Gu Qingci knew that person, and it was Pang Shilong's housekeeper Zhang Xu.
Pang Shilong looks very rough, he looks like a reckless man at first glance, and his behavior is also the same, he laughed when he entered the door, and said: "Master Ma, I didn't expect you to be so polite today, and you even specially invited me to dinner .”
Ma Shilian hurriedly said respectfully: "Where is the county captain Pang? We are colleagues. I treat you to a meal. Isn't this the right thing to do? Come and sit, Zhang Steward, you too!"
Pang Shilong and Zhang Xu took their seats one after the other. As soon as they sat down, Pang Shilong said, "Master Ma, we Ming people don't swear, we can drink and eat at any time, but when it comes to talking about things, it's better to talk about it first."
"This..." Ma Shilian's face froze, and he said: "Since Lieutenant Pang Xian is so straightforward, then I will make it clear that today's meal was not invited by me, but by someone else!"
Pang Shilong and Zhang Xu looked at each other, and at the same time smiled knowingly, and said, "Oh, who is that?"
"It's the county lord!"
