Chapter 133 Domineering
At noon, Liu Xunyi led his men straight to the Donghai Teahouse.
At the entrance of the teahouse, two frivolous men were laughing and talking loudly as if no one was around. Each of them was holding a stick in his hand and had a dagger slanted at his waist.
If pedestrians on the street came a little closer, they would immediately wave sticks, curse and drive them away. As a result, at noon in broad daylight, the Donghai Teahouse was deserted, with not even a single customer to be seen.
Liu Xunyi walked over quickly, he looked straight ahead, said nothing, and looked very serious.
"Hey? What are you doing..."
"Cut the fucking nonsense!"
The gatekeeper was about to step forward to stop them, but was kicked to the ground by Zhang Fu and Wang Shou, who rushed towards them. As for Liu Xunyi, he walked straight into the Donghai Teahouse without stopping.
The atmosphere in the teahouse was extremely depressing. The "tea drinkers" sitting in the hall were all men with angry looks in groups of three or five. Looking around, there were at least thirty or forty of them.
These people were armed with knives and sticks, and all of them looked arrogant and behaved improperly. Some of them crossed their legs and drank tea leisurely, some put their feet on the stool and played with daggers with contempt, and some simply sat cross-legged on the table and looked around coldly. In short, this group of people were carefree and joking, and there was not a single serious person.
At this time, the owner of the Donghai Teahouse stood at the counter in a timid manner, with a terrified look on his face. His face was bruised and swollen, and he looked miserable.
A burly, dark-faced man sat sideways on the counter, gesticulating and gesticulating, as if he was saying something to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed repeatedly while listening to the black-faced man's lecture. But even though he was so respectful, the black-faced man would occasionally swing his hand and hit the shopkeeper's head hard. Under his big hand like a palm leaf fan, half of the shopkeeper's cheek was swollen and unrecognizable, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, staining the front of his clothes red.
As soon as he saw Liu Xunyi, a hint of excitement suddenly appeared in the shopkeeper's panicked eyes.
The shopkeeper knew that Liu Xunyi was from Prince Xian's Mansion, so once Liu Xunyi arrived, his nightmare would be over.
The shopkeeper wanted to go forward to greet Liu Xunyi, but Liu Xunyi waved his hand first, indicating that he didn't need to say anything. Under the gazes of dozens of malicious eyes, Liu Xunyi looked around fearlessly, walked to the center of the lobby like a leisurely stroll, and slowly sat down at an empty table.
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, Liu Xunyi placed his sword heavily on the table. Li Kang and Zhao Ning, who were following behind him, took the initiative to pick up the teapot, set the tea bowls, and poured a cup of tea for Liu Xunyi in an orderly manner.
"Who is in charge among you? Come out and speak!" Zhang Fu's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the teahouse lobby and shouted loudly.
"Who are you?" a man at the next table asked provocatively, "If you want to die, just say so. If you want to drink tea, get out!"
"The Xianwang Mansion!"
Wang Shou's cold answer instantly made the man lose his temper. Dozens of men in the hall looked at each other suspiciously at first, and finally all turned their eyes to the black-faced man sitting at the counter.
The dark-faced man had been looking Liu Xunyi up and down since he entered the door. He slowly removed the palm-leaf fan from the shopkeeper's head, jumped off the counter, and walked towards Liu Xunyi with a bad look.
Walking up to Liu Xunyi, the dark-faced man suddenly sneered and said contemptuously, "I thought you were some great figure, but it turns out you're just a brat. Boy, you haven't even grown all your hair yet and you dare to stand up for others. Do you know how to write the word 'death'?"
Liu Xunyi picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely. He didn't even raise his eyelids at the black-faced man's rude remarks.
"Boy, what do you mean by this? I came to the East Sea Teahouse to drink tea, how could it be any of your business?"
Liu Xunyi's eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to explain his purpose, but suddenly the words Su Tang said rang in his ears again. The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back by him.
Liu Xunyi shook his head lightly and said calmly: "I don't want to waste any more time on nonsense. Go back to where you came from. From today on, you are not allowed to step into this teahouse again, otherwise... I will kill you if I see you!"
When Liu Xunyi said this, the black-faced man was stunned. He looked around at his men, and suddenly raised a bloodthirsty grin, and asked back: "Boy, you'd better take a closer look at the current situation..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to hear it."
Liu Xunyi's serious expression made the black-faced man very angry. The smile on his face gradually solidified and finally turned into a sinister look. He suddenly pointed his finger at Liu Xunyi and said word by word: "Boy, what qualifications do you have to say to me..."
Before he could finish his words, the teacup in Liu Xunyi's hand was raised up without warning, and a cup of scalding hot tea was instantly poured on the black-faced man's head.
The black-faced man screamed in pain from the burns, and suddenly became furious. He cursed and swung a punch, hitting Liu Xunyi in the face.
In a flash, Liu Xunyi drew his sword from its sheath with his right hand without any hesitation after pouring the hot tea. Then, with a flash of silver light and a "chi" sound, the fierce right fist of the black-faced man "flew out of his wrist", flew high into the air, and finally landed on a distant table. The sudden appearance of a bloody severed hand scared the men at the table and made them scream.
The black-faced man only felt his right arm lighten, and then looked at the people who were screaming in fear with puzzled eyes. When he saw the severed hand on the table, he suddenly reacted and turned his head to look at his right hand, only to see that his right wrist was already empty. The broken wrist was cut neatly like a mirror by Liu Xunyi's sword. The bright red flesh wrapped around the white broken bones, trembling and squirming slightly, which was shocking and heart-pounding.
"what!"
Until this moment, a pain worse than death came from the black-faced man's mind. Along with his pig-slaughtering scream, blood suddenly gushed out from his neatly broken wrist.
"You bastard, you cut off my hand... Brothers! Kill him!"
Even "Fu Shou Kang Ning" hadn't expected that Liu Xun Yi would be so decisive. When they saw the bloody severed wrist, they all swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
However, just as the black-faced man finished speaking, Liu Xunyi swung the sword with one arm, and swung it backhand, and the extremely sharp sword chopped directly at his neck. The black-faced man was frightened and hurriedly turned his head down to avoid the sword, but unexpectedly, with a dull "bang", his head hit the table heavily. At the same time, the sword came in an instant and stuck tightly to the black-faced man's neck, but it did not kill him.
Feeling the coldness of the sword blade, the black-faced man immediately broke out in cold sweat. He lay on the table with his stiff body, not daring to move at all.
Liu Xunyi held the sword in one hand, tightly clamping the black-faced man. With his left hand, he gently waved at the dumbfounded "Fu Shou Kang Ning". Wang Shou understood, stepped forward quickly, and poured him another cup of tea.
Liu Xunyi calmly picked up the teacup from the pool of blood and started sipping tea.
"Don't move!" Zhang Fu shouted at the people around him who were eager to try, "If you dare to move again, he will definitely die!"
"Hero, please spare me... Hero, please spare me..." Under the threat of death, the black-faced man could not even feel the pain of his severed hand, and kept begging Liu Xunyi for mercy.
"You've already gotten a bargain." Liu Xunyi looked down at the black-faced man and said lightly, "If it were someone else, you might have died long ago."
"Sir, spare my life..."
"Why did you come to the Donghai Teahouse to cause trouble?" Liu Xunyi asked, "Don't lie, I can tell."
"I dare not... Actually..."
"Actually, you shouldn't ask them about this, but yourself."
Before the black-faced man could open his mouth, a sneer suddenly came from the second floor. Then, a man in white, protected by several guards with knives, slowly walked down the stairs.
Upon seeing this person, Liu Xunyi felt as if he had seen him before and could not help but frown. But before he could figure out what was going on, Wang Shou beside him leaned forward and whispered, "Brother Liu, this person is the young master of Luoyang Jindao Sect, Zhuge Wu."
Liu Xunyi suddenly realized and recalled that the last time he saw Zhuge Wu was also in the Donghai Teahouse. At that time, Zhuge Wu was following Wang Qingshu.
"Liu Xunyi, last time you offended the young prince, you fled Luoyang overnight to seek refuge. Do you think the storm has passed now, so you want to come back and bully others?" Zhuge Wu mocked, "The reason why Donghai Teahouse is in this situation is all thanks to you and Lin Fangda. If you hadn't meddled in other people's business back then, how could Donghai Teahouse have suffered the disaster it has today?"
Liu Xunyi stared at Zhuge Wu expressionlessly, and said quietly: "This is a feud between Wang Qingshu and us. What does it have to do with Donghai Teahouse?"
"The young prince gave face to Lord Luo and didn't pursue you two. Can't he vent his anger on the East Sea Tea House?" Zhuge Wu sneered, "This matter has nothing to do with your Xian Wang Mansion. You'd better stop interfering." Zhuge Wu "kindly" advised, "Liu Xunyi, you have only been in Xian Wang Mansion for a few days? You really angered the young prince. Do you think Lord Luo will offend the Mongols for you? Go back! Don't worry about the East Sea Tea House. Besides, you can't do anything about it even if you want to."
"You are making trouble here, but you are neither killing people nor setting fires. Aren't you just waiting for our Xianwang Mansion to intervene?" Liu Xunyi was so smart that he could see Zhuge Wu's thoughts. So he ruthlessly exposed him, "Now that we are here, why do you have to beat around the bush? If you have anything to say, just say it. What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhuge Wu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "The Golden Sword Sect just wants to vent the anger on behalf of the young prince."
"Oh?" Liu Xunyi said, "You, the Jindao Sect, have given up being good 'humans' and are actually learning to be 'dogs'. And you are Wang Qingshu's running dogs!"
Zhuge Wu's face froze, and he shouted angrily with a ferocious look: "I am a dog? Then what are you? Aren't you a dog raised by the Xianwang Mansion? You bite whoever Luo Tianjin tells you to bite, otherwise you wouldn't come here today!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me what your purpose is!"
"It's very simple. Just ask the owner of the Donghai Teahouse to hand over the singing girl, and the matter will be even."
Liu Xunyi sneered, "Why? Wang Qingshu still refuses to give up on that girl?"
"Whether she gives up or not is none of your business." After that, Zhuge Wu walked to the shopkeeper, put his hand on the trembling shopkeeper's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, that girl was singing in your teahouse, and now she has offended the young prince and ran away. Should I ask you for her?"
"But I really don't know where the father and daughter are..."
"Then I'll just have to wait here." Zhuge Wu waved his hand innocently, "until she comes back."
Seeing the shopkeeper's face full of grievance, Liu Xunyi said: "Zhuge Wu, what you did seems to be against the rules of my Xianwang Mansion?"
"There is more than one rule in Luoyang City now." Zhuge Wu sneered unscrupulously, "I prefer to abide by the rules of the General's Mansion." After that, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "I heard that the General's Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion will soon become relatives. Then they will be one family. What difference does it make who makes the rules? Liu Xunyi, I advise you to go back! Don't hurt the harmony between the General's Mansion and the Xianwang Mansion because of such a trivial matter."
"What if I insist on intervening?" Liu Xunyi said in a tough tone, "Do you, the Golden Sword Sect, dare to openly confront the Xianwang Palace?" After saying that, the four people of "Fu Shou Kang Ning" had drawn their swords, ready to fight at any time.
"I don't dare." Zhuge Wu pretended to be worried and said, "But someone dares!"
"Who?"
"I!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of murderous Mongolian soldiers rushed into the teahouse. And without knowing when, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers had gathered outside, ready to fight, and surrounded the Donghai Teahouse.
