Chapter Eleven Red Lion General

In the middle of the night, in the courtyard illuminated by candles, the big man with beard dashed up, and the golden knife in his hand was skillfully swung. Although the force was heavy, the trajectory of the swing was like a thousand trials, and there was no flaw at all. The air wave has already been suppressed, like a gust of wind hitting the face. If someone with a weak mind sees this, I am afraid that their legs will be weak on the spot, and their mind will go blank for a while.

Roland Hill did not choose to dodge or avoid the opponent who suddenly jumped up and slashed down with the heavy sword in front of him, because the opponent's golden sword that slashed down seemed to have the potential to open up the mountain, but the actual two hands He didn't use his full strength, but he still had a lot of spare power. If he turned sideways at this moment, the opponent just turned the blade and chased down. With such a huge force, he couldn't deal with it in a hurry. It might be that the man and the sword were split in half by the opponent. .

It seems that the masters of Tuo Shitang have a lot of experience in battle. I don't know how many opponents they have killed with this move. Feeling the sharp sword light across the cheeks, Roland Hill raised the sword and retracted it, and then violently Stab forward, in an instant, there seems to be a current of water around, and the sword is like a red carp jumping in the water, the silver bottle is released, and the position of the close hand in the blade is straight, so that the opponent can't wield its huge force.

"clang--"

The quiet night was broken by a loud bang, like a bronze bell quivering for a long time.

The blade shook violently, and he almost wanted to let go, his arms were numb, and the breath he was about to exhale was also suppressed, making him feel a suffocation and heartache. The big man surnamed Ni stopped in his footsteps.

He stared at the slender girl in front of him in shock, and he couldn't associate it with the huge force he just fought, or the opponent's swordsmanship was extremely high, and he could concentrate his strength on one point. Only then did he break open his sword and push back.

"Okay! Come again!" Naturally, he couldn't be convinced after only one confrontation.

The golden sword danced into one piece in the dim candlelight, and attacked Roland Hill again with a heavy whistling, and a loud roar exploded in the courtyard.

"Roar--"

A violent sound wave pressed against the girl, instantly straightening her hair and dress in the air, and in this violent storm, the whimpering blade also slashed in an instant.

This time, Roland Hill finally did not deal with it directly, but jumped in place, rotated his body, and passed the sword light. Dodged and attacked the big man.

The confrontation between the two was completed in an instant. Although there were many changes, in the eyes of the people next to them, it seemed like a blink of an eye, and the two stopped.

A gourd jug fell from the bearded man, bounced on the ground, and then rolled to the side, making a grunting sound on the bluestone slab.

Soon, a thick hand picked up the wine gourd and held it again.

"It seems that I am defeated." He also knew that if this young lady's swordsmanship did not change just now, I am afraid that he would be cut off by the waist.

This bearded man rubbed the wine gourd in his hand carefully, opened it after a while, continued to pour the wine in it, then wiped his mouth and threw the wine gourd to the side rudder member.

"Fill me up with wine and prepare a banquet to entertain these distinguished guests."

"Boss Ni, but it's already very late, I guess I can't find a restaurant that is still open."

"It's alright, you go to the black dog gate behind Luohua Alley and shout. The head chef Fu of Banyuelou lives there. Call him over to prepare a banquet for us. Anyway, it won't cost him less money."

"Good." After saying that, a few people opened the courtyard door and ran out excitedly to call for someone.

Looking at this scene, Roland Hill shook his head, put down the sword in his hand gently, and stepped forward to ask.

"Can we talk now?"

"Haha, why don't you worry about this eldest lady, I have time to drink and talk to you tonight." With a wave of his hand, the members of the punishment helm brought the wine table and chairs and placed them in the yard under the stars.

"The reception is not good, and I ask the eldest lady to forgive me, please take a seat."

Lorraine Hill and the people accompanying him had to sit down with him and see what he had to say.

"You are the members of the Qingxiaozhou branch, aren't you?"

"Exactly, our helmsman is Yang Jilan, who belongs to the local Qingji branch."

"Yang Jilan, I've heard of this name before, and I'm also a great player in the sect, but unfortunately I haven't seen any news in these years."

"Because the rudder master's health is not very good, so now it's mostly Big Brother Yang Xuemo doing things."

"I see, disrespectful," he said, before introducing himself.

"My name is Ni Daqiang. My background is not worth mentioning. I am a local fisherman. When I was young, I was short of money, so I joined the Tuo Shi Tang, and after a few years of mixing, I became what I am today."

"But General Ni of the 'Golden Ring Crocodile'." A member next to Roland Hill called out the other party's name on the rivers and lakes.

"I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be a general. I don't dare to be called a general." The clasped fist said humbly.

In Tuo Shi Tang, masters above the sixth rank are generally called 'red lion generals'. These people often sit in one continent, and they are Zhenjiang stones in various places.

In the following period of time, with the conversation between the two sides, Roland Hill gradually became aware of the situation of the punishment rudder.

The local helmsman is a very old and very old man. The branch's affairs arrangement, foreign affairs and communication in the main hall are all done by the helmsman, but other than that, some muscles need to be displayed. In the case of strength, it was Ni Daqiang who shot.

"Mr. Duan, he gave me a lot of care when I started, and taught me to read. Later, when I became stronger, I didn't go to other branches to recruit, so I helped Duan to become the local helmsman. Anyway,

His qualifications and knowledge are sufficient, but his prestige and strength are insufficient. "Ni Daqiang talked about some things about the rudder, explaining why he was not the rudder master, but the reason why he was the only one in the rudder.

"So it is." Several people in the same group sighed.

"Brother Ni, the appetizers are ready, do you want to serve them first?"

"Come on, is my wine ready?"

"It's ready, I'll bring it to you." Soon, several young apprentices who were divided into helms warmly and respectfully served all kinds of food.

Afterwards, Ni Daqiang invited a few good players who spent the night in the sub-rudder to join the banquet, making the scene lively.

Different from the young apprentices who lay on the sidelines, these sturdy players are the official members of Tuo Shi Tang. Generally, you have to go through several steps to join Tuo Shi Tang. First of all, if you have a young family background, you are wanted by the government, you have been a bandit and have stolen, you will not be accepted, and you will not be accepted if you are too old. Something went wrong.

In this way, you will first be an apprentice in the sub-rudders of various places. After three years of working, there is nothing wrong with it. After you have become proficient in boating skills, you will be officially accepted by Tuo Shi Tang, and then you will be taught various training experience, combat skills and so on.

Different from the various schools of thought that serve the elites in the Western Continent, the Eastern factions are mostly formed by people who rely on a certain profession to make a living. For example, Tuo Shitang was born out of the Cao Gang, and Qinglu was originally a union of herbalists. Gathering, only by visiting the door, can you study full-time, keep improving, and not worry about your livelihood.

But the door-to-door often has its own mission, which is related to the origin. For example, the 'Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace' was established by the Hun Yu faction to suppress the demons and dark abyss in the evening mountains, and the 'Bibo Tianhai Pavilion' was established by the dynasty to maintain The strength at sea is supported by the guarantee of the smooth flow of the route and the control of the offshore islands.

In this world with extraordinary power, the power of the government is often limited, and it is not enough to take care of all aspects, and the factions of the world, large and small, fill these gaps and shortcomings, and jointly support this huge dynasty.

Although Tuo Shitang is often despised by some people because of its industry, its overall strength is actually not weak. Roland Hill glanced briefly, compared with the past experience, the official members of Tuo Shitang are the lowest There are also third-order and above, and there are about ten people above fourth-order in each rudder, and there is at least one fifth-order master.

This is already very surprising. You must know that there are more than one sub-rudder in a continent, there are often five or six sub-rudders, and there are sub-chambers in the prefecture. This is the strongest station in Tuo Shitang in a continent. According to Tuo Shi According to the rules of the hall, there must be at least one 'red lion general' sitting in the hall in each branch hall, that is, a sixth-order extraordinary person.

The twenty-two continents in the south, plus the main hall, means that there should be nearly thirty sixth-order masters in the Tuoshi Hall, and there must be one or two seventh-order players.

In the current dynasty, the strongest masters on the bright side are only on the eighth rank. I haven't heard of the existence of promotion to the ninth rank. Roland Hill guesses that there may be a witch who has reached the ninth rank, but has not shown up. In the Eastern Dynasty , Because of the existence of 'immortals', witches are more likely to hide their special features.

The crowd ate dinner in this yard, and Loren Hill slowly talked about the past experience, and then asked Ni Daqiang about the whereabouts of the senior in the surname.

"It turns out that Miss Jialan is here to repay her kindness, but I was abrupt." He pondered for a while.

"Forget it, since I'm not as skilled as others, I shouldn't be so procrastinating. I'll take Miss Jialan to visit that senior tomorrow."

"It's just that the senior is healing now, please don't bother Miss Jialan too much."

"That's fine."

After the banquet was over, it was already getting dark, and everyone dispersed, and Loren Hill also stayed in the hotel arranged by the members of the Tuo Lion Hall.

In the afternoon, Roland Hill woke up from his sleep and looked at the sunny weather outside, and his mood was much lighter.

She washed her face with clean water, then walked downstairs, and soon saw a fellow member sitting in the hall.

"Miss Jialan woke up."

"Yes, have they been here?" Roland Hill was a little embarrassed, had he slept for too long and made people wait in vain.

"Not yet, miss, don't worry." He smiled a little, then explained a few words to his companions, and then walked out of the house and went to the street for a distant view.

Walking back into the house from the fierce white sunlight on the street, he said, "I don't think they have gone out yet, so I guess they'll have to sit down for a while, or if Miss Jialan comes to eat some ice powder, this shop is doing pretty well. "

"Huh, that's fine." Because she didn't miss it, the girl relaxed a little, then sat in front of the counter and looked around.

There are not many people in the hotel. There are only a few people sitting in the house to enjoy the coolness. The sun is shining outside, and the afternoon is relatively quiet. Many people who go to agriculture and work will take a nap and wait for the sun to go down a little. Come out and continue working.

In one corner of the hotel, a three-bladed fan with copper leaves turned slowly, bringing a little breeze, dissipating the heat in the hotel and making people feel a lot more comfortable. Such a creation is not complicated. Even more than ten years ago, Loren Hill had I have seen it in some places, but I didn't expect it to be popular now.

It seems that some technologies are still spreading, the girl sighed in her heart.

After sitting for a while, Lorraine Hill simply followed the advice of his companion just now and asked for an ice powder, and then the clerk brought out a bowl of transparent jelly, sprinkled with a little sugar, and put a small wooden spoon, you can scoop and eat.

After the entrance, it is cool and smooth, which is very good.

Just as the girl was eating summer snacks, a sound of footsteps came from the street, and then a group of soldiers in scaled armor passed by, with straight knives on their waists,

In his hand, he held a copper-colored fire cannon. Although the style was simple, it looked powerful.

The firearms of the Eastern Dynasty were very developed in the past. Roland Hill thought about it and remembered the train car he saw in the mountains in the evening, but because of burning money, only the government could afford it, and the people still used Cold weapons are the main.

After continuing to sit for a while, a burst of noisy footsteps came, it was Ni Daqiang, the drunkard with the beard last night.

"Let Miss Jialan wait for a long time, we'll go now."

Later, following this Ni Daqiang, Loren Hill took a small painting boat by the river and walked through the town along the river. All the way was white walls and blue tiles, which was very consistent and quiet.

The people's livelihood in Taowuzhou is good. The atmosphere here is peaceful, and it really is a place suitable for health and self-cultivation.

After walking in the river for about 20 minutes, I stopped at a bank where many willow trees were planted, light green, and swaying gently along the river wind.

After getting off the boat, under the guidance of Ni Daqiang, Lorraine Hill carried her skirt, walked along the bluestone steps step by step, passed through the alleys under the eaves, and finally stopped at an unnamed small town that was consistent with the surrounding environment. in front of the courtyard.

Ni Daqiang knocked on the iron ring on the door, and then shouted loudly.

"It's me, Ni Daqiang."

"Wait, here we come."

Soon, a middle-aged man with knife eyebrows opened the door. He was dressed in black and held a long knife with a red thread wrapped around the handle.

"Brother Ni is here today?" He was not surprised when he saw Ni Daqiang, because this girl came here often, but this girl with a veil and an excellent appearance was very strange and surprising.

"This is the benefactor of our Tuo Shi Tang. She wants to find a classmate who helped her when she was a child. Because the description is very similar to that of the hall master, she came to see her this time." When not drinking, Ni Daqiang Still not messy.

"Oh, is that so?" Although a little dubious, the man opened the door.

"Sit down for a while, the two of you, and I'll ask the Hall Master."

This wounded Hall Master Yu is a 'red lion general' in the Tuo Lion Hall, and also the previous branch master of Fuyunzhou. He was injured in the battle between the lion and the dragon not long ago, so he is here to cultivate.

While the two were sitting in the front hall waiting, an old doctor in white linen walked out from behind, nodded briefly to the two, and then continued to leave the room.

"This is the local doctor just now, Mr. Qingpu." Ni Daqiang gave a brief introduction, and Loren Hill nodded.

"Cough, is Ni kid here?"

As he said that, a man with gray temples wearing a dark red coat came out of the back hall. His voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be a little weak.

"It's me, senior." Ni Daqiang hurriedly stood up and carefully helped him over to sit down.

"Tell me, what's the matter here today? The tricks I taught you before are enough for you to practice for years. No matter how impatient you are, it's useless."

"What the senior said is, but today I am not here to ask you for advice, but someone else wants to visit you."

"Oh." He opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar girl beside him.

"You are?"

"You can call me Jialan."

When he saw this one coming out, Roland Hill knew that he was not Yu Baiqiu. This one's temperament was even stronger, like a wounded tiger and lion, still carrying great power.

"I'm looking for a benefactor from many years ago, but it seems that I have mistaken someone, I'm very sorry." Roland Hill continued to explain to this man.

"So that's the case, it's because you have a heart. It's not too early. Let's go after dinner."

Do the members of Tuo Shi Tang like to invite people to dinner so much? Roland Hill suddenly thought so, as if it was the case before, as soon as he came to Qingzhou Continent, he was dragged to eat. .

It seems that the way they greet each other is to invite to dinner, and they enjoy it.

"This, then I will disturb the seniors." The girl responded with this kindness with a bit of laughter.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's boring on weekdays, and no one can talk."

Not long after, good wine and good food were served, and the wounded general also asked about Roland Hill.

"I think what Miss Jialan is practicing is the method of Qianlong's lineage."

"Yes."

"And you defeated Ni Daqiang in just the fourth rank. The future generations are terrifying."

Even if they came to the door, the fourth-order disciples would not dare to say that they could beat the fifth-order masters of Tuo Shitang, because the fifth-order and fourth-order ratio would be a qualitative leap.

"Can you ask about Miss Jialan's teacher's inheritance? Of course you don't have to. It's a personal matter after all."

"The method I practiced came from Yan Yanzhou, and the adults should be able to guess it." Roland Hill did not lie, but he also let the other party get a satisfactory answer.

"Red ray in the bathing flame... No wonder, no wonder." If this Miss Jialan was born in Yan Yanzhou, it all made sense. He stroked Fu Fu's beard.

During the banquet, this man drank some more wine, but when it came to the end, he seemed to be coughing again and his face was flushed.

Looking at this scene, Roland Hill had to get up, walked to his side, and then used what he had learned to help him resolve and heal.

A pill fell into the water and melted, exuding a fragrance, and then the water spun in the air, and a faint magic halo continued to blend in. Finally, the water liquefied into a mist of morning dew, which fell on the cheek of the hall master, slowly into the body.

The Yuan Li (magic power) that was scurrying in the body and was stubborn quickly calmed down, no longer agitated, and slowly retracted the extraordinary core in the body along the original trajectory.

, and the cracked gap in the transcendent core was slowly closed until finally, it gradually merged again and became one.

After doing this, Roland Hill opened his eyes again, and then the golden red scales on his forehead slowly disappeared, returning to smoothness.

"So, it should be fine." She let go of her hand, and the hall master slowly sat on the chair to adjust his breath, and opened his eyes after a while.

"Thank you Miss Jialan for your help, such a great kindness, I don't know how much time it will save." He originally estimated that even with the assistance of a famous doctor, it would take several years to recover. He didn't want to be completely cured in a short period of time. Simply unbelievable.

Especially in the end, the young lady's move to help bridge the transcendent core started to startle him, and he wanted to control the magic block in his body immediately, fearing that this young lady would mess up.

But under the influence of the strange water mist magic, his own magic seemed to be soothed to sleep, and there was no response, and then the extraordinary core began to slowly heal, which made him relieved.

The identity of this Miss Jialan is probably not that simple. With her talent and strength, she might be the next generation core of the Yuyan Red Ray Sect, or even the chairperson.

He first thanked him, then sat at the table and pondered, recalling the past, before speaking for a long time.

"Perhaps, I know where the Baiqiu that Miss Jialan is looking for is located. Speaking of which, it was a past ten years ago. If I hadn't thought about it, I might have even forgotten myself."

Then, a scene from many years ago was spoken in his mouth.
