Twilight Boundary

With Miss White Wine acting as a guarantee, both parties already have a foundation of mutual trust.

Moreover, what Diguayaki said also made Huma understand the difference between the group of reincarnated people and other people, which made her feel a little relieved.

Immediately, he discussed the matter with Digua Shao in detail, asked about his senior brother's unique skills and weaknesses, and agreed to exchange information every night before falling asleep.

Early the next morning, he brought the steel sword and the mahogany sword still wrapped with a strip of cloth to prevent others from seeing it. After washing, he went downstairs, sat down in the shop, and took out a handful of copper coins. , ask the waiter to make yourself a pot of good tea, and then go out to buy two steamed buns to eat.

Of course, this didn't require a lot. When the waiter came back, Hu Ma just waved her hand and asked him to keep the remaining copper coins. Then while eating, she asked him if there was any place to make money around.

The waiter in the shop was naturally full of smiles after receiving the reward, and said: "If you have the ability to make money, how can you not have a place to make money? What does your business do?"

Hu Ma smiled, then took out the knife from his waist, pulled out half of it, and placed it on the table.

There were several rust stains on the knife, stained with some dark red stains that could not be wiped off, and the blade was chipped in several places. It was obviously caused by someone cutting it.

"Do you make ends meet with a knife?"

When the waiter saw it, he was immediately startled and didn't dare to say anything.

On the other hand, the shopkeeper behind the counter who was doing the accounting spoke with a smile on his face: "I think the guest is a good man in the world, so I can teach you that in Wutong town, vendettas and murders are rare in recent years."

"If you want to make money, there is a notice in front of the green brick courtyard in the east of the town. We are inviting a capable guest officer like this."

"..."

"Is it?"

Hu Ma then put away the knife and said: "If it is true, I will reward you when I come back."

After saying that, he got up and saw that outside, the weather was gloomy at the moment, and it might rain at some point. So he took off the bamboo hat and raincoat by the door of the inn, and put them on his body, saying that he would return them when he came back. The shopkeeper and the waiter didn't dare to stop him.

When he was far away, he curled his lips and secretly sneered.

"These days, people who rely on knives to make a living dare to go out and do business with arrogance."

The old shopkeeper glanced disdainfully in the direction Hu Ma left and said, "In the meantime, the reporting officer must catch him."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to settle accounts, obviously not paying attention.

Hu Ma left the inn, walked around the street for a while, and then slowly came to the west of the city. Sure enough, she saw a row of large blue brick houses in the distance. There were seven or eight notices posted on the smooth brick walls.

When I looked closer, I saw that they all had the same content, which read:

"The bandits are rampant in Ma'erwa, stealing rice and harming people. They collect generous amounts of money and grain, recruit strong men, and eliminate harm for the people. We are waiting for heroes from all walks of life."

Look below, the address left is Qianfeng Tea House.

Hu Ma looked at it and was sure that this was the notice posted by the eldest young master of the Lu family. The eldest young master was looking for people everywhere, but the people he invited were all capable people, but he couldn't say it openly. Therefore, he used the name of suppressing bandits to recruit heroes from all walks of life.

So he unveiled a list and asked people about it all the way to Qianfeng Teahouse in the town.

When I got here, I saw a three-story wooden building. It looked quite large and elegant. Even if it was placed in Mingzhou Prefecture, it would be very eye-catching.

Hu Ma took the list and walked straight into the teahouse.

Standing at the door was a tea doctor with a white towel on his shoulders. Seeing that Hu Ma was wearing a raincoat, a bamboo hat, leggings, and a steel knife hanging clearly from his waist, I immediately knew that he was a wanderer.

He came up with a smile and said: "The guest officer also came here to reveal the list? Please go inside and invite me!"

After saying that, without asking any more questions, he directly invited Hu Ma to sit down in the teahouse. There were more than a dozen square tables in the large teahouse, but they were all empty. There were only five or six people sitting there except Hu Ma. Look at everyone. His appearance and fierce face are also from the world.

Dr. Cha brought tea and a few snacks without Hu Ma taking the initiative to ask, but he didn't ask anything else.

It was quiet for half a morning. During this period, two or three people came over. There were also a few guests who wanted to come in and drink tea, but Dr. Tea just said something to them in a low voice. The guests left in a hurry.

I guess it was the young master Lu who was very generous and directly booked this teahouse just to entertain the heroes like Hu Ma and others who came here.

It was almost noon, and everyone felt impatient to wait, so they shouted and asked several times.

At this time, I saw an old man wearing silk clothes and trousers come in. He came up and accompanied him first: "Everyone has been waiting for a while. We have prepared a banquet just for you to wash your dust. But before that, please follow me to the backyard." Would you like to meet our eldest young master?"

Everyone looked at each other, then stood up and filed into the backyard.

Behind the teahouse is a large courtyard ten feet square, with a row of stoves all boiling hot water.

At the end of the yard, there was a chair and a small table with refreshments on it.

A thin man wearing a white gown was sitting on the Grand Master's chair drinking tea. When he noticed these people coming in, he only raised his eyes slightly and scanned the crowd, then lowered his head and drank tea again. No words.

The master who led them in said hurriedly: "Everyone, this is our Young Master Lu. He is from the martial arts world, so there is no need to stick to etiquette."

Even though he said this, several people still bowed their hands to Young Master Lu and saluted respectfully.

But Young Master Lu still didn't raise his face, only nodded slightly.

"It's true."

Young Master Lu didn't speak, so the old man who looked like a housekeeper became his mouthpiece. He smiled and said: "We are asking people to come over to eliminate bandits and eliminate harm for the people. But as soon as this list was posted, people from all walks of life All the people who live in the world are here."

"But don't blame me for telling you. If you dare to come, we dare not accept you. This is a dangerous business. For ordinary people, if you don't pay attention, you may die."

"So, if you don't mind, why don't you show off your skills in front of Mr. Lu?"

"If you have the skills, let's invite them in. If you don't have the right skills, let's make friends so that we can get together easily."

"..."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion: "Are you going to test us?"

They all came to join in the fun after reading the list or hearing that there was a way to make money here.

But in this case, the owner has to look at his own ability, so of course there is no reason not to show it.

So, first a stocky man wearing black clothes, black trousers, and a scarf tied on his head came out. When he took off his shirt, two heavy steel knives were revealed inside.

First, he hugged his fists to the young master Lu above him and said proudly: "You gentlemen are very polite. I am Chen Dalong, the powerful swordsman of the three provinces. I have learned good sword skills since I was a child. Today I ask you to give me some advice."

After saying that, he stepped forward with a hey, and the two swords were used like a tiger, with a cold light.

Hu Ma watched from the side, her eyes widened, and then...

...almost laughed out loud.

This powerful dragon-tiger sword master in three provinces is so good at swordsmanship that there is no trace of any tricks at all.

Even those postures taught by the second master can be performed more neatly than him.

The butler looked at it and was obviously a little confused. After a while, he secretly glanced at Mr. Lu, who had a gloomy face. He hurriedly stopped Chen Dalong, clapped his hands a few times, and said, "Good knife, good knife." , Sir, please go outside and have tea, we will take care of the food."

"Why?"

Chen Dalong's excitement remained undiminished and he asked, "Guanjia, what do you mean?"

"You won't let us stay? Mr. Butler, let me tell you, we have been practicing swordsmanship for twenty-eight years, and we can't get in with water. Cutting people is like slicing a melon..."

"..."

The butler's face was full of embarrassment and he just wanted to ask him out, but the man refused and just showed off his sword skills.

Suddenly, in the midst of the jostling, Young Master Lu who was sitting in front suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Dalong:

"Can't you splash the water with your sword? Okay, if you can do it, I'll pay you five hundred taels of silver to stay."

Chen Dalong was overjoyed and was about to raise his head to speak when he suddenly saw that the eldest son of the Lu family had already stood up while he was speaking. He picked up a pot of boiling water from the stove next to him and rushed towards him. He smashed it over.

Before Chen Dalong could react, he was hit in the face by the pot. The boiling water flowed all over his body, making him scream and roll on the ground.

"what!"

Young Master Lu had a cold face and shouted: "Give him the money for the medicine and get out of here!"

The screaming Chen Dalong was carried out. The distant voices continued, and the rest of the people were also stunned.

While looking at each other, a sturdy man in gray clothes came out: "I'll do it!"

"What we learn is hard qigong, where the silver spear stabs the throat and the chest breaks the boulder."

"..."

As he spoke, he took off the baggage behind him, revealing three or five red-tasseled guns, which he aimed at his throat and put one end on the ground.

He raised his arms and pushed forward fiercely. With a "Hey" sound, the red tassel gun broke into two pieces.

This man was also a little proud. He stood up straight and looked at Young Master Lu.

The coldness on Young Master Lu's face became a little darker. He glanced at him, suddenly took out a sharp short spear from his arms, threw it directly at his feet, and sneered: "Don't use that piece of wood. If you can use this to avoid death, I will invite you."

The man who learned hard qigong was stunned for a moment, picked up the short knife, pulled it out and saw that it was extremely sharp, and he hesitated immediately.

The butler next to him saw the situation and knew how powerful he was. Without waiting for Young Master Lu to say anything, he stepped forward, took the short knife over, and sighed: "This master, please also invite me?"

The man who was learning hard qigong was so angry that he didn't pick up the broken red tassel gun on the ground and hurriedly left.

"Please come, please go, everyone who comes is just pretending to be a ghost."

Young Master Lu looked at the two and became a little impatient: "Are there only so few capable people in this world?"

With his ridicule on their faces, even the remaining people had stern expressions.

Some people couldn't bear to lose face, so they already wanted to leave secretly.

Hu Ma also had a clear understanding and positioning of himself, so he pressed the hilt of the knife, stepped out of the crowd, and said: "Invite people just to invite people. What do you want to do with such a big show?"
