Hold the thigh

The wonders of yin and yang are endless, and the two solstices return to the 19th palace. If you can understand the principles of yin and yang, the world is in your palm.

The steps evolved from Qimen Dunjia, yin and yang complement each other, advance and retreat freely, can attack or defend, the changes are endless, and the direction is even more unpredictable.

The middle-aged man has been entangled and has lost his patience. If his power is restricted by a set of steps, how can he afford to lose face?

"Break it for me!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man shouted loudly, shaking the surrounding fallen dates upside down, and a majestic true qi as thick as pulp floated out of the middle-aged man's body, and at the same time, it brought an irresistible pressure. The strength of the late stage of Chongmai was fully revealed at this moment.

In the face of absolute strength, any skills are futile!

With this roar, the figure of the woman in white suddenly paused, and the phantom that was transformed disappeared immediately. She was also shocked. She never thought that the enemy she faced was so powerful!

"Die!"

The white-clothed woman was beaten, and her body flaws were immediately exposed. This moment of flaws was enough in the eyes of the top master. The word "die" was like a deadly evil ghost, and the fist turned into a claw and went straight to the woman's heart!

"You are the one who will die!"

The white-clothed woman screamed and stopped dodging. The blade pointed directly at the palm of the middle-aged man's hand.

The palm and the blade collided in an instant. The two seemed to be on different levels. How could the flesh collide with the steel knife?

But the reality was unexpected.

When the two collided, the sound of the steel knife breaking came immediately. The heavy steel knife could not stop the middle-aged man's claws for a moment, and immediately broke into countless iron chips and flew everywhere!

"It's over!"

Xia Shang's heart was in his throat. He thought that if the woman was hit by this claw, she would definitely die on the spot.

However, the woman's first attack was a feint. It seemed that she had expected that the steel knife would be broken by the opponent, and she pulled out a soft sword from her waist.

Swish...

There was a sound of sword. When the sword was drawn, the sword reflected the sunlight accurately in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, causing the middle-aged man to pause unconsciously. In this instant, the soft sword rose up, like a spirit snake swinging the sword body, not confronting the palm head-on, but bypassing the palm and wrapping around the arm. The tip of the sword was like a snake head spitting out its tongue and accurately biting the acupuncture point on the man's arm.

"What a move of a spirit snake coming out of the cave, so you practice swordsmanship! You are not that female thief at all!"

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy. He was too careless. He didn't think that the person fighting with him was not the thief who assassinated the prefect that night! He was taken advantage of by the opponent's sudden change of tactics.

For a master, this is absolutely an intolerable mistake!

A burst of anger rushed out from the bottom of his heart, and the true energy in his body could be even stronger!

"No matter who you are! You're dead today! Hey!"

As the man roared again, the white-clothed woman's eyes changed, and she dropped the soft sword in fear and flew away.

At the same time, the soft sword wrapped around the man's arm instantly shattered like a piece of paper, and the powerful true energy chased the woman like an invisible sword.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, the woman blocked with both hands, but was also hit hard, flying backwards faster, hitting the earth wall, and the earth wall collapsed instantly.

"Puff..."

The woman spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining her white veil red.

"Miss... You've hurt me so much!"

The woman complained in her heart, and the sea of ​​blood in her body was churning. If she didn't leave now, she wouldn't be able to leave!

At this moment, it was meaningless to continue fighting, and the woman wanted to retreat. How could the middle-aged man let her do what she wanted? He was about to chase her when Xia Shang stumbled up behind him and hugged the middle-aged man's thigh: "Brother, don't chase her! Don't chase her! You said she was not the assassin that day, which proves that she has an accomplice. What should I do if you leave?"

The middle-aged man was furious. By the time he got rid of Xia Shang, he had lost the best opportunity to chase her. He had no choice but to give up.

He got hurt by dealing with a woman he didn't know where she came from!

He felt so unhappy that he looked at the wound and saw that the blood was black.

"Poison!"

Xia Shang also saw it, and was panicked: "Brother, you are poisoned. This...what should I do?"

"I am poisoned, not you, why are you so nervous?"

"Brother, you saw it too. If someone really wants to kill me, it's good that I have your protection now. If something happens to you, who will protect my life?"

The middle-aged man looked down on him: "A real man, why should I fear death?"

"I am not a real man, I am just a fortune teller. I have already calculated today that I will be safe and sound, and there is a noble person to help me. That noble person is brother! So brother, don't let anything happen to you."

"Don't make a fuss! A little poison can't do anything to me."

"That's good! How about I invite brother to eat some dog meat? I heard that dog meat can burn people and also has the effect of expelling poison. It's definitely good to eat some. By the way... brother can protect me for a while, right?"

Xia Shang continued to speak, fearing that the other party would not agree.

"Brother, you see. We have met several times, and it is fate. The hexagram shows that you are my destined nobleman, you must follow the will of heaven! As long as you protect me for one day, you will surely be successful in the future!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No need to continue your tricks. I saved you today, and I will naturally not let you go."

...

The dog meat shop on Dongkou Street is full of wine and meat. A simple shed with a few earthen stoves can be used for frying, stir-frying, cooking and boiling.

On weekdays, this is the most crowded place in Dongkou Street, but for some reason, there is no one today, and it is cold and deserted.

Two people appeared at the alley, and the waiter who was sitting leisurely in his seat quickly stood up, as if he had known someone was coming.

Xia Shang pretended to be a real Yulin County native, and introduced the dog meat on Dongkou Street to the middle-aged man while walking.

Who among the people in the world doesn't like a bite of dog meat?

Although the middle-aged man didn't say anything, he really liked it, especially the overwhelming meat aroma, coupled with a pot of old wine, the previous depression and the poison in his body disappeared in a moment.

The waiter greeted them outside enthusiastically: "Come in and try it. Our dog meat shop on Dongkou Street has been open for ten years. Who in Yulin County doesn't know it?"

Xia Shang looked inside: "Your place is really so famous, why is there no one?"

"Uncle, you don't know. Recently, summer has come, and the neighbors think dog meat will make them get angry and don't want to eat it. But our dog meat will not get angry. It is cooked with tangerine peel, bay leaves, star anise, and big spices, and is paired with licorice and other heat-clearing herbs. It is guaranteed to be okay to eat in summer."

"Okay, three pounds first."

"Okay! Please come in."

The two were led into the shop by the waiter and sat down at a random table.

Xia Shang suddenly remembered that he didn't know the other party's surname: "My name is Xia Chunqiu, I don't know your name yet."

"I am Liu Xun, a commoner. Of course, I am not as resourceful as Mr. Xia, but it seems a bit unfair for Mr. Xia to call me Xia Chunqiu, right?"

"..."

"Mr. Xia, don't pretend anymore. I know who you are and what you have done, Xia Shang, the young master of the Xia family."
