In just the blink of an eye, the tip of Hong Tian Xiao's right index finger suddenly swelled up. Following that, with a 'puff' sound, a white light shot towards Hong Ling's right foot. At the same time, Yu Hongling's screams also resounded through every corner of the Li Chun Courtyard. Everyone was stunned, including Yang Yizhi.
"Thank you for showing mercy, hero." Incense Master Zhao was the first to wake up, but he realized that his back was already wet. A thought flashed through his mind. This person's martial arts were too terrifying. It seemed that if he wanted to take our lives, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. It seemed that he had shown mercy. Therefore, he did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly said a word of gratitude and led the crowd away in a panic.
After the salt owls retreated, a wave of earth-shattering cheers erupted in the Li Chun Courtyard.
The courtyard was a place where the good and the bad mixed together. People from all walks of life would come here to have fun. Mingyu Lane was the largest courtyard in Yangzhou, and Lichun Courtyard was the leader of the Eight Great Academies. Therefore, the women and turtle slaves here had seen all kinds of scenes and people. However, no one had seen Hong Tianxiao's magical finger. After all, the Yi Yang Finger had been lost for more than 300 years.
The brothel madame walked in front of Hong Tian Xiao and curtsied. Then, she gave him a flirtatious look and said in a delicate voice,"This little brother, I really didn't expect you to have such a handsome martial arts at such a young age. Just now, you beat away those salt owls, so you can be considered the benefactor of Li Chun Courtyard. I'll cover all your expenses here, so you can eat and drink as you please, and pick any girl you want.”After saying that, the brothel madame took another step forward and said mysteriously,"If Miss Xiu Ping is willing, I won't object.”
Hong Tian Xiao's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself,'The reason why this Li Chun Court is ranked first among the eight great courtyards of Mingyu Lane is because of Miss Xiu Ping. If Miss Xiu Ping's body is violated, business will naturally plummet. Could it be that there are some unspeakable secrets in Mingyu Lane? Or could it be that this place is the stronghold of some gang, and they are trying to rope me in?'
"Thank you so much, mother. Miss Xiu Ping is a peerless beauty in the world. I want to get close to her all the time. I just don't know if you are willing.”Even though Hong Tian Xiao was suspicious, he did not show any expression and only pretended to be anxious.
"Humph, good boy. You're scheming. You've been here for so many days, but you've never asked a girl to accompany you. You think I don't know? If you didn't have such skills, I wouldn't have bothered with you. I'll let you see if you still have the guts after you see Miss Xiuping's Flying Phoenix Palm and Tiansha Poison.”Although the brothel madame thought so, her face was full of smiles as she whispered,"It's not that I'm praising you, but the two of you are really a match made in heaven.”
"I'll have to trouble you then, Mother." Hong Tian Xiao pretended to be very happy." I'll wait for Miss Xiu Ping in the room. Goodbye."”After saying that, Hong Tian Xiao turned around gently and slowly walked back to his room under everyone's gaze. However, he thought to himself that it seemed like his guess was wrong. That Miss Xiu Ping was indeed not an ordinary person, but an expert.
Ever since he saw Hong Tian Xiao's finger pierce through Hong Ling's right foot and create a three-inch deep hole in the ground, Mao Shi Ba no longer dared to underestimate Hong Tian Xiao. He even bragged about Hong Tian Xiao, almost lifting him to the sky, almost causing Hong Tian Xiao to start looking down on Mao Shi Ba.
? It was no wonder. Although Mao Shi Ba had roamed the martial world for more than ten years, he had never seen such amazing martial arts. Naturally, he treated Hong Tian Xiao like a god.
" Sigh, I, Mao Shi Ba, didn't waste my life to befriend a hero like Brother Hong. It's just that I have a dead date that I have to go to. Otherwise, I'll definitely stay with Brother Hong for a while.”Although Mao Shi Ba was excited, he hadn't forgotten about his appointment with Wu Dapeng and Wang Tan. He didn't wait for the two to ask and told them how he had gotten into a conflict with Wang Tan and how he had made the agreement with him at Victory Mountain.
"Brother Mao's words, although I've just met Brother Mao, I felt like old friends at first sight. Moreover, I feel that this matter is quite strange. Think about it, only the two of you knew about the agreement between Brother Mao and Wang Tan, and there was no third person present at that time. How did the government know about this matter and even set up a heavy ambush at Sunset Slope? Brother Mao, don't you think it's very strange?”Ever since the incident at Setting Sun Slope, Hong Tian Xiao had always felt that there was something strange about it. According to the original story, when Mao Shi Ba was fighting Wang Tan and Wu Dapeng at Victory Mountain, Shi Song had led his troops out. It was obvious that someone had told on him.
Mao Shi Ba was a rough person. Although he had almost lost his life in the ambush at Sunset Slope, he had never thought about it carefully. Now that he heard Hong Tian Xiao's words, he felt that there was something fishy about it. "Could it be that Wang Tan colluded with the government and reported the secret to the government?”Mao Shi Ba thought of the 2,000 taels reward for his capture, and his only thought was that Wang Tan was greedy and had snitched on him.
Hong Tian Xiao let out a long sigh and lightly shook his head."It's still too early to make a conclusion, but if the Tartar soldiers appear again on Mount Victory, then there's really something wrong with this Wang Tan.”
Mao Shi Ba's body trembled. If Wang Tan was really a greedy villain, the government would have known about this. Then Victory Mountain would be a trap. His leg had not recovered yet, so how could he escape the government's second siege? However, if he didn't go, he would be laughed at by the people in the martial world. Mao Shi Ba wanted to ask Hong Tian Xiao and Yang Yi Zhi for help, but he looked at the two and was too embarrassed to ask.
How could Hong Tian Xiao not see through Mao Shi Ba's thoughts?"Brother Mao need not worry, this one will accompany you to Victory Mountain. Even if the Tartar soldiers have thousands of troops, this one will definitely ensure Brother Mao's safety.”Hong Tian Xiao's words were filled with lofty sentiments. Yang Yizhi and Mao Shi Ba felt a sense of worship in their hearts.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Brother Hong and Brother Yang. I really don't know how to thank you.”Mao Shi Ba was overjoyed. He had seen Hong Tian Xiao's godly martial arts. Since Hong Tian Xiao was able to rescue the heavily injured Yang Yi Zhi from the encirclement of the soldiers, he would naturally be able to ensure his own safety.
"Brother Mao is too polite. You and I are both Han, so there's no need to thank each other for helping each other. Now that the Manchu Dynasty is ruling over the Han, if we can't help each other, how can we join hands to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty and return He Shan to us?”Hong Tian Xiao had inadvertently revealed his ambitions to Mao Shi Ba, so he naturally wanted to recruit him.
"So Brother Hong has such a lofty dream, Mao Shi Ba is truly impressed.”Mao Shiba admired heroes the most. In the current martial arts world, the person Mao Shiba respected the most was Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society. It wasn't because of Chen Jinnan's martial arts that was hard to find an opponent in the world, but because Chen Jinnan had always been committed to leading the Heaven and Earth Society to overthrow the rule of Manchu.
Mao Shiba had been in Jianghu for a long time. He had seen the government oppress the people more than once. He hated the Qing government to the bone. That was why he helped the anti-Qing people fight against the government in Jiangsu. Hong Tianxiao suddenly talked about his ideals, which naturally suited Mao Shiba's temper. However, overthrowing the Qing court was extremely difficult. It was not something that one or two people could do. Although Mao Shiba was only a martial artist, he was still very clear about this.
