Shi Jin heard a sound and turned his head, only to see a young man of eighteen or nineteen standing beside him at some point.
The young man was dressed in a green robe, with a handsome face, slightly dark skin, and a slender figure.
Shi Jin was not short, but the young man was still half a head taller than him.
Shi Jin He looked at him and suddenly felt a chill, as if there was a murderous intent in the air!
He turned his head and saw a burly man standing not far away, with a shaved head and braided hair, his face like black iron, covered with scars, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, staring at him.
Liao people?
The young man coughed, and the burly man took two steps back expressionlessly.
Shi Jin felt the pressure ease, and his heart trembled slightly. This person's killing intent was very strong.
There was a bit more guard in his heart. He looked at the young man, whose face remained unchanged, and said, "The servants are ignorant and often offend, please don't be offended, sir." Shi Jin noticed that despite his attire, the young man was no different from a scholar of the Song dynasty, but he couldn't figure out his background.
Shi Jin took a glance at the burly man and waved his hand, saying, "No, this uncle is imposing and fierce, truly awe-inspiring."
The two men were somewhat surprised to hear him say that.
Although there has been peace between Song and Liao in recent years, there are still occasional Liao people traveling to Bianliang for trade. However, due to past conflicts, there is still some hostility and rejection among the common people.
The burly man's appearance can be described as ugly, and most people are afraid when they see him, like avoiding snakes and scorpions. It's the first time I've heard such words as Shi Jin. The young man smiled slightly and said, " Bao, this gentleman is praising your... um, good manners."
The strong man's face flushed, and he appeared a little awkward.
The young man laughed and said, "I am Xiao Ao. May I ask how I should address you, sir?"
Shi Jin didn't expect that his casual praise would actually win the favor of two people. He wasn't deliberately flattering them, but at this time, the Liao Dynasty was in the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia in later generations, and Shi Jin instinctively treated them as fellow countrymen. Bao had a tough and unyielding demeanor, which made Shi Jin, who came from a military background, feel a sense of familiarity.
Shi Jin saw this young man dressed as a scholar, but with a bold and straightforward character. He smiled and greeted, saying, "I am Shi Jin, nice to meet you, Brother Xiao."
Thinking to himself, this person's demeanor is quite impressive. His surname is Xiao? His heart trembled slightly, as Xiao is a prominent surname in the Liao Dynasty.
Xiao Ao's expression softened even more, and he said kindly, "Judging by Brother Shi's appearance, I'm afraid you are also a martial artist, right?"
Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "I learned a few moves of fancy boxing and leg techniques in my early years, but they are not really presentable."
Xiao Ao thought he was being modest, but didn't expect that Shi Jin really thought so.
What the original owner learned before may look good, and can bluff the novices, but when facing a real master, they can't hold up for long.
Several years later, Wang Jin encountered a turning point in his life, which transformed him into a master.
Xiao Ao smiled faintly and suddenly reached out towards Shi Jin.
Shi Jin His mind had not fully switched over, subconsciously treating it as a handshake from a future era.
Xiao Ao Seeing him calmly smile and return the handshake, she hesitated for a moment, and their hands came together.
Xiao Ao She applied pressure with her hand, Shi Jin seemed unaware, Xiao Ao was about to exert more force, but Shi Jin's hand had already slipped away like a fish.
Xiao Ao took a glance at Shi Jin and saw that he appeared calm and somewhat inscrutable.
Xiao Ao smiled and said, "Brother Shi, please don't be offended. I have been fond of martial arts since I was young, and I couldn't help but want to exchange some moves just now."
Shi Jin stood with his hands behind his back and laughed openly, "No problem, I also have such a preference. It's just that there are many people here, and it's not convenient to display our skills. Otherwise, I would definitely spar with Brother Xiao."
He flexed the fingers hidden behind his back, cursing inwardly: "Damn it, what a strong grip!"
After shaking hands, he realized something was off and reluctantly used the technique from his family's Praying Mantis Fist to break free. At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his finger joints, but he still maintained his composure.
Xiao Ao nodded with a smile upon hearing this, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He was merely curious and did not intend to deliberately cause trouble for Shi Jin.
Xiao Ao turned to look at the field and said, "This person's staff skills are quite proficient, probably with more than ten years of experience. It's just that there are too many fancy moves, which won't work in a real battle."
The man called Bao suddenly muttered, "I can knock him down with just one strike."
Shi Jin laughed and said, "Performing arts are originally a means of making a living. Without more fancy moves, it won't attract attention and won't make money."
Xiao Ao nodded.
"Boasting! Shameless!"
Three people were chatting casually when a clear voice suddenly sounded. They looked over and saw a short young man standing to the side, tilting his head slightly with a somewhat disdainful expression. He glanced at Bao, then fixed his eyes on Shi Jin's face with a look of contempt. Shi Jin looked back and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He said he was a young man, but "child" would be more appropriate, at the tender age of eight or nine. Despite being dressed in boys' clothing, Shi Jin could tell at a glance that she was a little girl. However, this little girl was just too adorable!
She has picturesque features, with a pair of watery and bright elf-like eyes, a small vermilion mouth, and fair skin like jade, resembling a porcelain doll.
Just now, a few people were talking, but I didn't notice where this little girl came from.
Bao widened his eyes as if to get angry, but seeing that it was a little girl, he just snorted and ignored her.
At this moment, a young man walked over, gave a slight bow, and said with a smile, "Please don't be offended by my brother's rude words." This young man was about the same age as Shi Jin, taller but somewhat slender, with a refined and delicate appearance. Hearing him say this, Shi Jin couldn't help but laugh. Did he just call him "brother"?
Pay a little more attention to your appearance, just changing into a Men's shirt and wearing a headscarf is enough? He didn't reveal anything, just smiled and bowed, without saying anything. The little girl beside him was not happy, complaining, "Big brother, it's clearly them who spoke arrogantly first, looking down on us Song people, why are you talking about me?"
The young man also had a headache. He accompanied his mother to offer incense, but found the temple stuffy, so he came out for a walk. This little follower insisted on coming along and ended up offending people as soon as he opened his mouth. The three people in front of him had good looks and a heroic spirit, obviously all martial artists, and one of them was from the Liao people. The little girl's repeated provocations might lead to a conflict. Although he was not afraid, he was worried about getting a scolding from his mother afterwards.
Mang spoke up, "Fifth Brother, don't be rude. Do you still want to come out next time?" The little girl pouted, turned to look at the field, and ignored the few people. The young man awkwardly smiled at the few people and said, "Sorry."
Xiao Ao's expression remained unchanged, his gaze briefly pausing on the two individuals before glancing into the distance. He smiled and said, "Children's words are without restraint, it's fine." Shi Jin followed his gaze and noticed two sturdy men standing not far from them, their eyes fixed on this side, evidently serving as the two's bodyguards.
Xiao Ao arched his hand and said, "Today I am fortunate to meet Brother Shi. I have some mundane matters to attend to, so I will be staying at the Inviting Moon Tower. Let's meet again another day."
Shi Jin clasped his hands and said, "Certainly, I will visit you another day, Brother."
Bao had a stiff expression as he looked at Shi Jin and grumbled, "Next time, I'll treat you to a drink."
Shi Jin smiled and nodded, "Good!"
Bao smirked and the two of them turned and left.
"Rude guy!" the little girl muttered angrily, then glared at Shi Jin.
"Hey, you are one of the Song people, right? How can you collaborate with the Liao people to arrange us Song people? You can't be a spy for the Liao people, can you? Do you believe I won't take you to the Yamen?"
The little girl chattered away, and by the end, she looked at him suspiciously from head to toe.
