Book 17 - Chapter 3 – Unstable Situation at the Famous Restaurant (1/2)
Book 17 Chapter 3 – Unstable Situation at the Fa Restaurant had staircases on the southeast and northwest corners of the building connecting the three lower floors, but the staircase leading to the top floor was located in the h the corridor of the third floor before one could climb onto this fourth floor
The stairas enclosed in wooden railing with decorative carved pattern, surrounded by open space up to three zhang wide, which also served as the hub where corridors leading to the individual roorandeur, as well as wide-open at and the others rushed out of the corridor leading to the southern hall to the stairwell area, all four corridors were already packed with people Li shi+roup ofin a row outside the north corridor Every one was glaring like a tiger watching its prey toward Fu Jian, as standing by the railing, with his hands behind his back, looking down the stairwell toward the lower floor
Xing Mofei, wang Bo, and a group of Tuyuhunaway, showing cold laugh on their faces It was a tense situation [orig, with swords drawn and bows bent]; their opponent was obviously Li shi+ the excitenized the ‘Passionate Prince’ Hou Xibai and Yun Yuzhen; the others ought to be restaurant patrons who happened to be there just at the right ti and the others also cast their gaze downstairs They saw a ; it was unclear whether he was dead or alive Looking at his hat and attire, he must be a Tujueleaned over to Song Yuzhi’s s?”
Song Yuzhi’s pretty eyebroere slightly knitted; she appeared a bit uncomfortable at his deliberate show of affection, yet she did noton her other side, thereupon she nodded slightly as a response
Kou Zhong was referring to a ood shape; his face thin, tall and lanky, a bit like wang Bo, but his expression serious, a face that seldo out the impression that he was a cool-headed and coht; in proportion to the rest of his face, his , yet he also carried a big boss air on hientleree of uneasiness, with a despising look on the corner of his mouth, which was barely discernible, spoke coldly, “Tuli, if you want to fight, why should you send your subordinate to throay his life first?”
Li shi+min took a step forward and spoke indifferently, “Victory or defeat is commonplace in anyview Mu Tiexiong’s life or death? Other matter can be discussed later”
Surprised, Fu Qian turned his gaze toward Li shi+min; an a, he said, “Who are you, Sire? Why do you speak for Tuli?”
Letting out a cold snort, Tuli said, “Fu Qian, you have eyes but fail to see Mt Tai, even Qin wang Li shi+ives him authority over the whole country, you did not know, yet you still caot into this muddy water Xiaodi really need to wipe your cold sweat for you”
Although the croas still unclear on why Fu Qian and ‘Dauntless Lion’ Mu Tiexiong fought, but they couldto incite trouble, but he received a ‘lesson’ instead
As for why Tuli was so unwise like that, apart from the person involved, the rest were at a loss
Fu Qian let out a long laugh and said, “I have long heard Qin wang’s name, and today I finally a men Fu Qian pays his respect”
Whether he was talking or laughing, there was some kind of heroic charisma that look disdainfully on the whole world, which was extreon [young dragon with horns] beard on his face, which stuck outright, yet could htful, refinedof an uncouth, reckless man of the wild
With a hint of smile on his face, Li shi+min returned the propriety Grandly, yetflattered me, shi+min’s really asha has no objection, shi+min would like to send someone to look at General Mu’s condition”
Fu Qian sneered and said, “No need to dolay down for a et up by hi no mercy for this lowlyeverybody out here”
And then he swept his gaze around When his eyes landed on Kou Zhong and the others, unexpectedly he s His ant
This iveour way, it was already rude, yet he also publicly insult wangzi’s clanszi made his move, it could be considered reasonable”
Tuli nodded and said, “The victor is the king, the loser is the bandit; this can be called reasonable So be it But Old wang ought to know the Central Plains’ current situation; it could be said that nothing is reasonable Since Fu wangzi dared to lead his troops to the east, naturally he knew that this is not the good ti suddenly appeared from nobody knohere; he said, “Gentleainst each other, let’s talk Please give this old man a little bit of face!”
He had not yet finished, Rong Fengxiang already cut hi Laoban obviously knows that this e your honorable building suffer, let ol’ Rong take the responsibility”
Thisthe other party the slightest opportunity to argue
Dong Fang was an extremely slick and slyfor help by casting a glance toward Song Lu, while with his h Even ifwill be able to build another one”
The tone of his voice was harsh and defiant; apparently he was disgruntled over Rong Fengxiang’s big-rock-crushi+ng-down-the-crab haughtiness
Song Lu , Song Yuzhi and Liu Jing followed closely behind hi Lu reached the outer the south corridor, thisClan let out an ear-splitting long laughter, iy, so that everybody’s eyes were draard hi Lu cupped his fist and said, “Zaixia, Song Lu of Lingnan, would like of offereverybody to lethis profound internal power by his laughter, or perhaps his reputation as the ‘Silver Dragon’ Song Lu; , these two shooting-star upstarts of Wulin world, were standing on his side as his attendants, was enough to give his words so if thrown on the floor, it will nore hiaze swept the Yuzhi, they lit up with distinct expression of inco Lu and he said in delight, “Old Song’s reputation filled the land under the heavens, a genuine chivalrous hero; of course ol’ Fu will listen”
When his eyes were fixed on Song Yuzhi’s flowery jade countenance, Kou Zhong, as standing by her side, was able to sense that although on the surface she acted as if nothing happened, but her heartbeat and her pulses responded by speeding up; he could not help feeling bitter and his heart ached, knowing that toward thisYuzhi was unable to ignore cohtly, as he swept his gaze across Li shi+xiang He s Laoban, please don’t take offense, we are people who are used to roaratitude and grudges in high regards, only seeking the delight of our hearts But Dong Laoban has poured his heart’s blood into this building; if we fight in here and in the end there are cooked crane or burned qin [zither], it will be a blot on the landscape Why not we move the troops to the plaza downstairs, and continue our dispute there?”
By listening to his re’s face, but at the same time he made the opposite party difficult to refute
Quite surprisingly, Rong Fengxiang was not angry; he only spoke indifferently, “Song Xiong’s advice is proper; how could Xiaodi have any objection?”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, however, shi+vered inwardly This man could either bow and subes]; his speech was in good taste and fitting He was definitely an extraordinary figure
Fu Qian laughed happily and said, “Fighting anywhere shouldn’t be a problele tile or a piece of ill be da that is out of my control”
The croas in uproar; Fu Qian was so confident that he had full control of his hter caht Pang Yu walked out in large strides He s Yu’s heart that it is unbearably itchy; I can’t help asking for your brilliant advice But we’d better set up the rule first: whoever accidentally da will be considered lost; how about that?”
If Pang Yu were frohtest bit surprised All because in recent years the Tujues’ fa by the day In their iressive expansion policy toward their nearest neighbors on all sides, they have tied deep enmity with the Tuyuhuns
But the speaker was unexpectedly a top martial art master from Li shi+min’s Heavenly Policy Mansion; hence everybody knew that this was not as simple as an ordinary quarrel between twoover the world
The ive it a try; they all wanted to fight in Fu Qian’s place But Fu Qian stretched his arlimmer with a s Xiong lose control and defeated by Zaixia, would Qin wang personally come down the arena?”
The uproar immediately stopped; the place became ‘crow and peacock made no sound’, everybody wanted to kno Li shi+e
Li shi+ht With a sharp-as-a-blade expression he stared at Fu Qian unyieldingly so that people’s heartstrings were pulled tight Half a day later he laughed involuntarily and said, “wangzi is indeed heroic and overbearing Since that is the case, there is no harzi and I play a round first, lest so-tea had no choice but to aduts and poise
This was a real hero
It should be noted that no one had ever seen Fu Qian fighting, but just froe Qu Ao, and the ‘Dauntless Lion’ Mu Tiexiong was still lying on the stairs, people knew that this man was not someone to be trifled with Li shi+ht hand to hand with this enigmatic Fu Qian, he was definitely not a coward
The crowd began to applause; obviously they also admired Li shi+min fro ords, did not interrupt; he vaguely adopted the ‘sitting on the ht’ stance
