Two hundred and thirteen, wading through muddy waters

Horseshoe, here is a place in the west by the north of the Taiye Pool, according to legend, when Wu Zetian lived in Luoyang in the past, he often came to the left of the Taiye Pond to raft for fun, the palace people who came and went were riding horses, so that the low-lying and humid place near this place, the horseshoe prints were a large piece, so it got such a name, here because of the smoke wave of the vast Taiye Pool, and not too far from the Daming Palace, some people who are afraid of the summer heat and covet the scenery of the smoke waves, have also placed houses here, the founding of this dynasty is only sixty-seven years, This horseshoe is already a house built by wealthy families, and there is no idle place for the garden to be repaired.

But born in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, it is a grandiose opening of an amazing martial arts hall, at the door of two stone lions more than one person high to show off their might, the vermilion gate, originally a non-first-class high-ranking official and super grade of the prince and the boy of the family are allowed to use, now the world is becoming more and more luxurious, and there are countless acts of transgression, even if it is an ordinary person who paints vermilion paint on the door, no one takes it seriously, but such a place, and such a place with a huge faΓ§ade, actually uses a vermilion gate, It's a bit too ostentatious.

This is not too much, but even more too much is that these people standing at the door are all big men, with bulging temples, and the tendons and flesh on their arms are knotted together, and many people have some tattoos of fierce beasts on their arms and chests and even on their heads, which is really scary, except for these people who almost didn't write on their foreheads that they are hooligans, and in addition, there are more than a dozen people standing at the door, all wearing black short clothes, and a big red ribbon tied around their waists. At first glance, it belongs to organized people.

These people don't look like good people, and the other group of people outside the underground gate don't look like people to mess with, although they don't have the Jianghu atmosphere of these people opposite, but they look arrogant, facing these big men opposite, some sneer, some disdain, some close their eyes and recuperate, their expressions are different, but the only one is that there is no fear of expression.

Everyone's waist and sleeves are bulging, and some people take a number of long wooden boxes to carry, obviously these hidden things are naturally weapons, the big man who guards the Zhu Gate, came out a tall and strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist like an iron tower, he condescendingly hugged his fist towards the opposite side, and there was a crackling sound between his palms, which made people feel that the martial arts were very strong, he stared at the eyes like copper bells, "Brothers, our Huo Family Martial Arts Hall is opening well, how, You have come here several times to make trouble, and you have already made an appointment before, all the things in the south of this Taiye Pool, our Huo Family Martial Arts Pavilion has the final say, you can't interfere, why is it only a few days, when our owner is not at home, you come to make trouble again, it is difficult to make a good appointment with us before, you regret it again! ”

In the crowd facing the Huo Family Martial Arts Hall on the opposite side, there was also a person in charge, this was a thin old man with a goatee, hunched back, and holding a cigarette stick longer than his arm, he was swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, he took a deep breath of the smoke, and spit it out towards the big man, forming a long straight line of smoke in the middle of the air towards the big man, and it was three feet in front of the big man, and then he turned into smoke and scattered everywhere, the hunchbacked old man grinned, revealing his sallow teeth, "That's right, we don't care about these things with you, it's just that the people who don't follow the rules and regret it are not us, but your Huo Family Martial Arts Hall!"

"You don't want to spew blood!" The big man was furious, and the rest of the people on the side couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and come out with a cooperative look, "We who opened a martial arts hall have always paid the most attention to the word benevolence and righteousness, with a mouthful of spit and a nail!" There is no reason to change what is decided and what is said! ”

"Xiao Lao'er is also a famous person in martial arts! will empty mouth and white teeth to frame you! The hunchbacked old man waved his hand behind him, "Bring people up!" I see that you don't see the Yellow River," he sneered at the men at the door of the Huo Family Martial Arts Hall, "If you dare not abide by the rules of this Jianghu Road, don't think that we can't help you!" There are ways to deal with you! ”

That big man is not a gentle-tempered person when he looks good, and it was because the two families had a gentleman's agreement before, this is to tolerate one or two, but in the end he is not convinced, this time he will see that the other side is not polite, he will naturally let go a little, the martial artist is like this, with a violent temper, "Is it possible that our Huo Family Martial Arts Hall is afraid of you!" Come! He exclaimed, "Bring me my broadsword!" I want to see who else can dare to step into our Huo Family Martial Arts Hall today! ”

Seeing the thunder on both sides, the powder keg was about to explode, and at the end of the long street suddenly there was a complicated sound of horses' hooves, which seemed to be a large group of people and horses rushing towards this side, and the people who were exploring the wind on the side came to report, "It's the men and horses of the Terracotta Division!" ”

The hunchbacked old man spat disdainfully on the ground, "These talon grandchildren! We are doing the business of the rivers and lakes, and we don't care about their affairs, didn't they dare to come before, how did this sun come out of the west today! Ignore him! Let's do our own thing, even if we fight and die, the master will let the head mother-in-law and children in your family have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives! Above! ”

Both sides don't seem to be ready to pay attention to what the people of the Terracotta Division are going to do, pick up all kinds of weapons, and as soon as the two sides rush up, they are ready to start a war, but they have never dared to take care of this matter, but this time they are very bold, and the people who come are riding horses and shouting, "The commander of the Terracotta Division has made the Lord arrive!" ”

The commander of this Terracotta Division is here? It's not an ordinary patrolman, it really can't start a war so unscrupulously, the big man and the hunchbacked old man hurriedly ordered people to retreat and retract, and hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and put away this bladed weapon for me!" Don't let anyone see it. ”

At the entrance of the long street, I saw a group of people and horses, and the patrolmen were holding water and fire sticks, with scimitars on their waists, and they were surrounded by more than a dozen officials on horseback.

Naturally, the leader is Xue Pan, and I don't know why Xue Pan changed his mind, no, he came to wade into this troubled water again.
