Chapter 189 Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 189 Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth
In just a few days, Qianyun Tower, the first inn in western Beijing, was decorated with lights and lanterns, and tents and stages were set up. It was bustling with people coming and going.

Every day, more than ten horse-drawn carriages delivered chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables to the back door, and dozens of people were borrowed from other inns to greet and see off guests, make fire, cut vegetables, and stir the food.

Shopkeeper Li has a lot of connections and many friends, so he was able to run such a big business.

The underworld in Shuntian Prefecture was in an uproar as a piece of news spread wildly.

A Mr. Ning from Jiangnan booked the entire Qianyun Tower and invited famous leaders and heroes from the martial arts world around the capital to gather together. As long as they stayed in the building, food and lodging were all included.

If I could gain the appreciation of Mr. Ning, it would be like enormous wealth and a smooth road to success, which is much better than a few ounces of silver rolling out from the midst of swords and guns.

As for what kind of extravagant person is this Mr. Ning?

Those who are attentive will naturally know.

I found out by asking around casually.

On the third day, the sky was cloudless.

Those who received the invitation to the appointment have all checked into the upper rooms.

Sixteen black-clad guards stood on both sides of the gate.

There was a round stool under the steps, on which sat a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a mustache on the corners of his mouth. He was holding an old sword, the hilt of which was wrapped with layers of hemp rope, and the scabbard was an ordinary pigskin sword without too much decoration.

"Guard Liu."

The official in green robe came out of the inn, walked down the steps and shouted to the man.

The middle-aged swordsman quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I greet Mr. Zhu."

"Guard Liu has been on duty day and night these past few days. Thank you for your hard work."

The man holding the sword is Liu Hang, a guest official of the Ning Wang Mansion. He is from Nanchang and has some reputation as a hero in Jiangxi. He is nicknamed "Changdong Swordsman" in the martial arts world. He has learned literary and martial arts, and sold his goods to the emperor's family. After wandering in the martial arts world for more than ten years, he finally joined the Ning Wang Mansion and was given the title of first-class guard.

"For the prince..."

Zhu Liben frowned slightly: "Hmm?"

Liu Hang said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, I am loyal to Mr. Ning, which is my duty."

Zhu Liben smiled and nodded, "Mr. Ning admires you very much. He said that Liu Hang is loyal to his duties and works diligently. He is worthy of being appointed. There is a vacancy for a deputy commander in Nanchang Guard. You can lead the troops and be of use at a critical moment. Mr. Ning is ready to recommend you to Minister Wang."

Liu Hang was overjoyed when he heard this, because the commander-in-chief was a full-fledged military officer of the garrison, and the key was that he could lead troops, which meant he was a real position, which was even more remarkable.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning, and thank you, Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Liben waved his hand and smiled, "It's not decided yet, I'll let you know first, but don't let anyone know."

Liu Hang hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand."

Zhu Liben looked outside Qianyun Tower. Although there were endless carriages and horses on the official road not far away, there were no people from the martial arts world coming to Qianyun Tower.

What was supposed to come has already come.

Seeing this, Liu Hang asked, "My Lord, do you have anything to tell me?"

Zhu Liben smiled and said, "It's nothing. Shopkeeper Li told me that the Xuan and Huang rooms in Qianyun Building are full, and there are only three Di rooms left. I think that from now on, we must ask about the identity of the people who come. They must have some real skills to enter the building."

There are only five number one rooms in the entire Qianyun Building.

There are eighteen rooms with the number "Di" and all the guests who stay there are those who hold invitations.

Those small scum who came to join in the fun had previously been stuffed into the Xuan and Huang brands.

Now that those two types of rooms are full, it would be inappropriate to arrange unknown people into the Level Rooms alongside the leaders and great heroes.

Liu Hang held the hilt of the sword at his waist and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm here to prevent unqualified people from entering Qianyun Tower again."

Zhu Liben nodded and said, "Remember, you have to be careful about the method. Mr. Ning is here to make friends. Even if he is a ruffian, you have to deal with him properly. You can't give people a chance to say that the people in the Ning Mansion are arrogant and look down on friends in the underworld."

Liu Hang cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Another half day passed, Liu Hang sat in front of the building, watching the sun rise to the middle of the sky, and then gradually move to the west. Evening was not yet here, but the sky was already filled with pale yellow clouds, and a peaceful day passed like this. When he was wandering around the world, he seemed to be free and unrestrained. Because he met a famous teacher and learned some real skills, he earned the nickname of Changdong Swordsman, and was considered a well-known figure in Yuzhang.

But so what?
Houses are divided into different classes, people are divided into different classes, and the same is true for the world.

Liu Hang was not from a famous family, nor did he have a large estate, let alone a crown waiting for inheritance, so he still had to run around for small change. While pretending to be a hero, he still had to worry about his food and clothing for the next day.

"The best decision I made in my life was undoubtedly to join Prince Ning's Mansion."

He really enjoyed such days in his heart, not to mention that there was a good future waiting for him.

"What rank is the Commanding Officer? Ask Lord Zhu when you have time."

Liu Hang stretched himself, stood up from the round stool, and stretched his muscles. He was enjoying the peace and quiet when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He squinted and saw a man and a woman riding down the official road and coming towards him.

"With a frivolous face and a knife hanging from his neck, he dares to imitate others and go out to mix in the underworld. He is really ignorant."

The leading rider was a man in a black robe, who looked very young and handsome. He had an extremely gorgeous sword hanging around his waist, and the scabbard was decorated with pearls, jades, and agates, which looked very valuable.

Liu Hang looked behind the young man.

The one who was half a horse's head behind him was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and extremely charming. While she was riding on the horse, her two peaches were still trembling, as if she wanted to break free from the restraints and come out to breathe the spring air.

"Xu~"

The two men reined in the horses and turned over.

Liu Hang swallowed and thought to himself what a pity.

Seeing the two people approaching, he restrained his expression and looked serious.

"Are you here to attend the Qianyun Conference as well?"

Zhang Yu walked to the front door, and before he could say anything, he saw the man asking.

Zhang Yu bowed and said, "That's right. I know a little bit about boxing, kicking, clubs, swords, spears, and halberds. I have always admired the chivalrous world. I heard about the reputation of the Qianyun Conference, which is a rare martial arts event, so I came here specially to attend it."

Liu Hang chuckled and said, "I know, I know."

In the past few days, he had seen many rich young men who only knew a little bit of Kung Fu, pretending to be young heroes just to join in the fun. His ears were callused by such rhetoric, and previously, in order to boost the momentum of the Qianyun Conference, he had let them into the building.

"Wait!"

Zhang Yu was about to enter the building, but was stopped by the other party.

"Brother, what else?"

Liu Hang chuckled and said, "You said you can use fists, kicks, clubs, swords, spears, and halberds?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I know it roughly."

Liu Hang looked at the young man, smiled and shook his head, saying: "There is a rule in this Qianyun Conference that no unqualified people are allowed to enter. Only heroes with real skills are allowed to enter. If you only have a 'rough knowledge', then I'm afraid you are not qualified."

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Then what should I do to not be considered as a shabby person? How can I enter the building?"

Liu Hang flicked his thumb, and with a whistling sound of the sword, half of the cold blade jumped out of the leather sheath.

"If you can survive three moves from me without losing, I will let you in and arrange a room for you and... this girl. If not, please go home."

Liu Hang looked at Liu Ruyan unconsciously. Seeing her smiling, as if she was looking at him, he felt that this woman was charming and charming. His heart was immediately burning, and he couldn't help but say, "This girl...if you want to stay, I can make other arrangements."

Zhang Yu took two steps back and bowed his hands in a serious manner, saying, "Then I would like to ask for your advice, brother."

Liu Hang grasped the hilt of the sword, jumped up, and with a beautiful leap, landed at the bottom of the stairs.

He stared at the young man and sneered, "There are still some who don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!"

　Sorry, this chapter ends a little too suddenly. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm back home to visit my parents. I'm busy, so please forgive me. I also wish all my book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and good health in advance.
