Chapter 64 Familiar People Keep Appearing
"Hua Mantian? Du Wu?" Ding Chengfeng murmured.
You Longsheng's eyes flashed, "Have you heard of these two people?"
Ding Chengfeng nodded, "These two are famous swordsmen in Jiangnan. I heard Nangong Qi talk about them, but I haven't seen them."
"Since they are famous swordsmen, I should go and see them." You Longsheng said.
Ding Baiyun shook his head, "No need."
"Why?"
Ding Baiyun pointed to the entrance of Cuiyun Tower across the long street, "Because they are there."
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng followed Ding Baiyun's finger and saw two people standing face to face on the long street more than a hundred meters away.
At this time, the long street was as bright as day, and their eyesight was also very good, and they could see the opposite side clearly.
One was wearing a green robe and had a handsome appearance, and the other was wearing a yellow robe with eyes like an eagle. Both of them stared at each other closely, and it was obvious that a big battle could break out at any time.
You Longsheng also looked at the two with interest.
In Gu Long's novels, duels are quite common, and they often happen in public places. The most famous one is, of course, the duel between Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng on the top of the Forbidden City.
There are also duels that no one sees, such as Xiao Li Feidao and Shangguan Jinhong, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan.
But in any case, duels between two heroes are a long-lasting plot in Gu Long's novels. This kind of duel not only happens to top masters, but also to ordinary people in the world.
You Longsheng has never heard of the name of the lightning swordsman Du Wu, but he is an old acquaintance of his.
He appeared in "Border Town Wanderer" and was considered the second-in-command of Wanmatang. His relationship with Wudang Mountain is unclear. He killed people from Wudang Mountain, but he was able to ask Wudang celebrities for help. In the original work, he tried to force Ma Kongqun away to control Wanmatang, but his conspiracy was exposed and he died in Ma Kongqun's hands.
But You Longsheng looked down on him a little, because he didn't dare to attack Ma Kongqun at all.
You Longsheng was confident that his martial arts skills were already top-notch, no worse than Ma Kongqun in twenty years.
At this time, in addition to You Longsheng's table, many guests on the street looked at the two people in the long street from near and far, pointing and talking. Among them were many wealthy merchants and martial artists.
You know, martial arts masters have always been the targets of wealthy businessmen. In this era, guarding the house, sailing and riding, having a master to support the formation can save a lot of trouble.
While everyone was still discussing, the man in the yellow robe had a sharp look in his eyes, rushed forward, and drew his sword with his backhand. The tip of the sword was like a lightning across the void, piercing the heart of the opponent.
The other person seemed to rush forward but actually retreated. The long sword was unsheathed, dancing a group of sword shadows, like flying flowers all over the sky, and the opponent's lightning was circled in the sword shadow, and then moved left and right, and the sword light was waving.
"Ding ding dang dang..."
After a series of crisp sounds, a long sword suddenly flew out of the battle group and nailed on the pillar of Cuiyun Tower, and the yellow-robed man also flew back, holding his right wrist with his left hand, blood dripping.
"Lightning swordsman? In name only!" The green-robed man sneered and put the sword back into the sheath.
"You!" The yellow-robed man was obviously very angry, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only snort and turn around and leave.
"Good!"
"Beautiful!"
"Good swordsmanship!"
"It's worthy of a flying sword, real and fake, unpredictable, even the famous lightning swordsman in Jiangnan is not his opponent!"
"Great, great, Mr. Hua, please come upstairs for a chat!"
"Mr. Hua, Miss Qingyi upstairs, please come upstairs and sit down."
Hua Mantian won the duel, so he was naturally the one everyone was vying to invite. The lightning swordsman Du Wu's swordsmanship was not weak, and Hua Mantian won easily, which naturally showed that his swordsmanship was more superb.
Then Hua Mantian entered Cuiyun Tower. He had a duel with Du Wu because of Miss Qingyi upstairs.
Watching Hua Mantian leave, You Longsheng and the other two turned around.
You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng looked at each other and smiled without saying anything, but Ding Baiyun couldn't help but sneered, "What Lightning Swordsman, what Sword Flying Flowers, the names are all very nice, but that's it?"
Not to mention You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng, even Ding Baiyun was sure to defeat Hua Mantian.
"Little girl is bragging, you think you can slander Hua Xia?"
Although Ding Baiyun didn't speak loudly, she didn't deliberately lower her voice. Of course, the guests at the next table heard her words and slammed the table.
"Where did you come from, little girl, you don't know how high the sky is, apologize quickly, otherwise if it gets to Hua Xia's ears, things will be bad." Another middle-aged man at the same table said immediately.
You Longsheng and the other two turned around and looked at the four people at the next table.
A big man, a middle-aged man, an old scholar, and a young man in brocade clothes.
The big man was the one who slammed the table just now, and the middle-aged man was the one who urged Ding Baiyun to stop talking and apologize.
You Longsheng didn't care.
When the four of them just sat next to him, he had already observed that they were definitely not masters of the martial arts world. Now listening to the two of them talking, he could be more sure of this.
Yes, how many masters are there in the martial arts world?
And You Longsheng didn't care at all about what Ding Baiyun said about Hua Mantian.
Are you kidding? Doesn't he know who Hua Mantian is?
How powerful and how powerful can a person who offended an unknown enemy and ran to the faraway frontier to be a slave for Ma Kongqun have?
If he knew the identities of the three of them, he would have to come and toast in person.
Four local ordinary Jianghu people, seeing the three young faces of You Longsheng, actually wanted to use this to sell Huamantian. They simply didn't know what to say!
The voices of the big man and the middle-aged man were loud, and they immediately attracted the attention of several tables of guests on the third floor, who all looked over.
The old scholar looked at the three of them with inquiring eyes. The young man in brocade also saw Ding Baiyun's appearance, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He said hurriedly, "Second uncle, when the sword fight between Hua Daxia and Du Daxia was just now, they were far away from here. , I guess this girl didn’t see it clearly, so just..."
"I can see it clearly."
Ding Baiyun smiled coldly, lifted the scabbard with his left hand, drew the sword and put it away with his right hand, all at once.
"choke--"
If it weren't for the flash of sword light just now and the still echoing sound of drawing a sword, no one would have reacted, but Ding Baiyun would have drawn his sword.
The next moment, when everyone was still in a daze, the big man closest to Ding Baiyun suddenly had the hair on his head broken, and his messy hair suddenly fell down, making him jump up in fright.
"Do you still need me to apologize?" Ding Baiyun said coldly.
The four of them shook their heads wildly, then stopped eating, hurriedly paid the bill, and left in dejection.
The other guests didn't dare to speak and immediately turned back to eat.
Then not long after, he came to the three of them pretending to be a man, bowed and saluted, "Hello, you three, my gang leader has invited you to go to the fourth floor for a chat!"
Linxian Pavilion has four floors, but the fourth floor is not open to the public. You Longsheng and the others did not show any pretense, so they sat down on the third floor to drink and enjoy the night.
Unexpectedly, there is a person who looks like a big boss on the fourth floor?
You Longsheng turned around and asked, "Who is your gang leader?"
The man straightened up, smiled slightly, and said quite proudly, "The leader of the Flying Whale Gang, and the general manager of the 72 land and water docks in the south of the Yangtze River!"

PS small interaction: Where does the original work mention the general manager of the 72nd Water and Land Terminal in the south of the Yangtze River?
