Chapter 2: A Key

The white-clothed knight was slowly waking up with the help of Long Shichen.

He opened his heavy eyes with difficulty, stared at the panicked Hua Feng lovingly, and gasped: "South China... Dart game... Danger, Hua... Eldest brother... Danger...".

Before he finished speaking, he hung his head and died.

The left hand was only halfway to Hua Feng, that is, it hung down weakly.

The South China Dart Bureau is good, where does the danger come from?

Hua Feng was hit hard, his head exploded, and he was stunned for a moment, standing motionless like a statue!

Long Shichen was also shocked by this sudden change.

After being stunned for a moment, the old man came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to hold Hua Feng into his arms, and stroked his back: "Child, your second uncle Liu was seriously injured, and he continued to rush to the road, resulting in exhaustion and death. You must be strong! South China Dart Game needs you. ”

......

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!

At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew in the forest, the withered yellow leaves swirled and fell with the wind, and the slender thatch trembled in the cool autumn wind, as if they were also crying for Hua Feng's misfortune.

After being suddenly struck Hua Feng stood for a long time, his eyes were red, and he struggled to leave Long Shichen's embrace, staring at the white-clothed knight who was bloodstained and had been breathing for a long time.

With tears streaming down his face, he muttered, "Why? Cangtian, what is the fault of my South China Dart Bureau?"

Suddenly, he roared again: "Who is it? I, Hua Feng, will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!"

The sonic boom shook the forest and the sea, and the sky was shocked.

After crying for a long time, Hua Feng wiped away the tears on his face, leaned over and hugged Liu Hu, who was covered in blood, with an extremely firm expression!

......

At this time, Liu Hu's body was already stiff. However, his left hand is still clenched into a fist, and it stretches forward.

Hua Feng and Long Shichen glanced at each other, quite strange, and planned to find out.

It took a lot of effort for the two to get the thing that Liu Hu was holding without breaking his fingers.

A bill and a bronze key!

The bronze key is a glance clear that it must be old. On the bill, the words "Sichuan West Liu Zhennan" are written.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, incomprehensibly.

After pondering for a moment, Long Shichen said in a low voice: "Feng'er, this key and bill were sent by your Second Uncle Liu at the expense of his life, and they must be extremely important! In the future, I will go to Liu's house in western Sichuan to find out slowly, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed. The stakes are high, be careful!"

Hua Feng nodded tearfully, and immediately wrapped the key and bill in a thin buttercloth cloth and placed them close to his body.

......

The young Hua Feng was full of blood and tears and sorrow.

Silently, behind the thatched house, he found a flat place and respectfully buried Liu Hu in the ground.

Long Shichen simply packed up the thatched house, and the master and apprentice rode together, galloping towards the South China Dart Bureau......

Time goes back.

Three days ago.

Sunset, dusk, outside the South China dart.

The cool autumn wind rolls up the fallen leaves, and several kites fluttering in the sky chase each other, a picture of harmony and peace.

In the South China Dart Bureau, Hua Zhennan, the owner of the Dart Bureau, was talking to a tall middle-aged man in a low voice.

At the beginning, Hua Zhennan resolutely shook his head and refused.

After the middle-aged man reluctantly identified himself, Hua Zhennan groaned for a while before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bronze key and 50,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms, and solemnly handed them over to Hua Zhennan.

Hua Zhennan immediately opened the bill, the middle-aged man signed the drawing, handed over a copy to Hua Zhennan, arched his hand, took a black hat next to him, lowered the brim, and quickly disappeared into the dusk under the raging autumn wind......

In the small alley outside the dart game, three pairs of eyes shining with cold light, like poisonous snakes, stared at their backs and the four shiny big characters of "South China Dart Bureau", and sneered again and again.

......

After the middle-aged man left, Hua Zhennan immediately called Liu Hu, the second-in-command of the dart game, and handed him the bill and key.

I saw that the bill read: Liu Zhennan in western Sichuan, invested 100,000 taels of silver, asked the South China Dart Bureau to escort a bronze key, arrived at Liu's house in western Sichuan within half a year, and handed it over to Liu Zhendong, the head of the family. Pay 50,000 taels of silver in advance, and pay the remaining 50,000 taels after the goods arrive.

The following are the signatures of Liu Zhennan and Hua Zhennan.

Hua Zhennan leaned over and said in a low voice: "Second brother, this matter is not trivial, only you know about the dart game, and you must not publicize it!"

Liu Hu nodded again and again.

Hua Zhennan continued: "Mr. Liu has been targeted, and he doesn't dare to carry this thing with him. Because Liu Zhendong, the current head of the Liu family in western Sichuan, was kind to me, he couldn't shirk it again and again, so he had no choice but to take this dart. We need to be careful and live up to the trust!"

Seeing Liu Hu's solemn face, he continued: "My goal is bigger, you can keep this key and bill closely, and when it is critical, you must get out decisively and go to Feng'er quickly." His master Long Shichen is strong in martial arts, and he will definitely be able to take care of one or two. ”

"In the near future, we will take a trip to the western Sichuan dart service, as a cover, as a pretense, as soon as possible!

Liu Hu took the key and bill, and said in a low voice: "The eldest brother has a careful plan, so I will do what the eldest brother says." Receiving this dart, you can not only repay the favor, but also earn 100,000 taels of silver, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. As long as this matter is kept strictly secret, it should be fine!"

Hua Zhennan nodded and said: "This is very good, at a critical moment, please also ask the second brother to deliver the key and bill to Feng'er, and tell the details!"

Liu Hu nodded yes.

......

After the negotiation was completed, the two immediately set about soliciting the western direction of Sichuan.

While he was busy, the account room came to report, and three merchants asked to see him.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they were slightly surprised: it was already late, why did there still be customers coming to the door?

With a dozen eyes and doubts, the two came to the living room together, only to see three middle-aged men in black, standing proudly in the center of the living room, with a ruthless face and a cold light in their eyes.

Seeing Hua and Liu coming, one of them said coldly: "The South China Dart Bureau is so big, I have made the three brothers wait for so long!"

When Hua Zhennan heard this, he immediately knew that the person who came was not good, and hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands to apologize.

The man snorted coldly and shouted proudly, "Half an hour ago, was there a person surnamed Liu who had a business with your dart bureau?"

Hua and Liu were taken aback when they heard this.

Hua Zhennan groaned slightly, knowing that he couldn't deny it, so he had to nod and say: "It's not about business, it's just that old friends came to meet and chat." ”

The man sneered: "Old friends chatting, let me tell you the truth, I've been staring at the surname Liu for a long time, and I've been following from West China to South China." ”

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly turned fierce: "Hand over the things! Otherwise, don't blame my three brothers for being ruthless!"

......

The "Three Tyrants of West China" are the three brothers Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Diyuan, and Zhang Renyuan, who act regardless of good or evil, and are mercenary.

The three brothers have strong martial arts, especially the eldest Zhang Tianyuan, whose martial arts are unfathomable, and they rarely meet opponents in West China.

The person who spoke before was the second Zhang Diyuan.
