I'm the best catcher in martial arts

"Huo Xiu agreed so easily?"

Lu Xiaofeng felt very surprised. He thought a lot of words of persuasion and even prepared to take action.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiu actually agreed.

Could it be that Huo Xiu is loyal to Jinpeng Kingdom?

Could it be that Huo Xiu is a passionate old man?

Shen Lian said very straightforwardly: "Unless Huo Xiu is kicked in the head by a donkey, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to such a thing. He should be aware of it."

"Perceived what?"

"Dugu Yihe didn't come. Although we had a verbal conflict with Yan Tieshan, we didn't take action and went straight to his lair. Why do you think this is?

Of course, it’s because, in the hearts of the three of us, he is the Qingyi Host. The most important thing is that he is indeed the Qingyi Host, and he can’t run away at all! "

Shen Lian analyzed lightly: "Generally speaking, when they are sure that they cannot escape, the vast majority of Jianghu people will choose one method."

"any solution?"

"Of course he faked his death to escape! No matter what mistakes he made during his lifetime, as long as he dies, his mistakes will be wiped out and no one will pursue them."

"Won't the court investigate?"

"Huo Xiu is a lonely old man with no children, no relatives, and no relatives. As long as he dies, he will lose all traces in the world. Who will trace him?

In addition, Huo Xiu's whereabouts were secretive in the past, and the dragon never saw its tail. He was very experienced in lurking and could hide very well.

If he needs to spend money for fun, he can go to a safe house built before, such as Lu You's wooden house.

Anyway, he has no other hobbies except drinking. The wine he has stored is enough for him to drink for a hundred years. Faking death is the best option.

At other times, no one may believe him when he fakes his death. But if he fakes his death in front of the three of us, and the three of us personally testify for him, then it’s perfect! "

Shen Lian clenched his fists gently.

It's not because of the stimulation of foreign enemies, but because he feels that the final battlefield is not in Huo Xiu's small building, but in Jinpeng Manor. This is the fighting instinct developed after thousands of battles, and his consciousness is extremely sharp.

"You can't possibly testify against him."

"What I just said is that the bodies of the three of us can also serve as proof for him!"

Lu Xiaofeng said slightly gloomily: "Do you know what kind of martial arts Huo Xiu practices?"

Shen Lian said: "Huo Xiu is so rich, but he doesn't have a woman around him, and he has no descendants. Either he is a eunuch, or he practices boy skills!"

"To practice this kind of kung fu, the sacrifice is really huge. If you are not a person who naturally hates women, or you are an inhumane eunuch, it will be difficult to maintain perseverance."

"Of course Huo Xiu is not a eunuch, but he has no interest in women. In other words, he focuses all his desires on certain aspects."

"What aspect? Drinking? Huo Xiu's only hobby is drinking, and he has collected countless fine wines!"

Shen Lian said angrily: "Drinking is just a pastime. His real hobby is money. How could he become the richest man without the desire for money?"

"He will never be able to spend all his money in ten lifetimes."

"The richer you are, the greedier you are. Don't forget who my uncle is. I know the rich best."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Where is my father?"

Shen Lian said seriously: "My father is not that obsessed with money, but he is very loyal. He works hard to make money for the sake of the family, and even more for the Ming Dynasty!"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled her eyes and said, "You can still speak human language, but Uncle Hua is not here now, so there is no point in flattering him."

Shen Lian nodded: "Flattery is useless, plucking phoenix feathers may be useful. Just stop, don't move, I will tear off your two eyebrows one by one!"

…

Three days passed quickly.

This was not an ordinary three days, but three days when the storm was about to hit the building. Everyone could feel serious and depressed, especially Huo Xiu and Yan Tieshan.

Yan Tieshan didn't care about this. Anyway, he didn't have much time to live, and it didn't matter whether he lived or died.

Huo Xiu felt that there were powerful enemies in all directions, and that there were countless beasts spying on him, ready to pounce at any time to bite his throat and gnaw at his flesh.

That feeling was not only because of Lu Xiaofeng, nor the calculations of the old brothers, but the fear from the heart, the crushing force of Mount Tai.

Huo Xiu knew where the crisis came from and why it was caused, but he could never change it.

All his desires are for money.

He has a greedy and gluttonous desire for money.

The enemy can cut his throat and tear his bones to pieces, but he cannot take away his gold and silver.

Huo Xiu can pay money, but that kind of money is called cost, and it can earn back ten times the profit.

Huo Xiu was not willing to pay a penny as long as he had nothing to gain. He felt that even the money darts and copper coin darts commonly used by martial artists were too wasteful.

Isn't it good to pick up stones?

Available everywhere, no money needed.

Why waste your energy on making moves?

Wouldn't it be nice to give it a little push from behind?

There are many things that Huo Xiu doesn't understand, just like many people don't understand. He already has enough money to throw around, so why do he still want to scheme against his old friend?

Wouldn't it be nice to be generous?

Wouldn't it be nice to be more generous?

Isn't it good to learn from Shen Wansan?

…

Huo Xiu likes to drink!

Drinking is the greatest pleasure besides counting money.

Even when he was on the road, he brought a small red clay stove with him to warm the wine while he was on the road.

Huo Xiu asked curiously: "Why isn't Miss Zuo here? Did she go out to do things again?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "I asked her to go first to Jinpeng Manor and tell Princess Danfeng to welcome us. I am a hard worker and she is also a hard worker."

Yan Tieshan sighed: "Our family has not seen the little prince for decades. I wonder if he is now... I won't tell you. Yan Liben, the internal affairs manager of Jinpeng, has passed away long ago. There is only Yan Tieshan in the Guanzhong of the Ming Dynasty."

When he mentioned the Kingdom of Jin Peng, his words had a eunuch's shrillness, and by the end of his words, he had changed into a Guanzhong accent, obviously reminding Shen Lian.

I am now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I am loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and donate countless jewels every year.

You are the agent of Ming Dynasty Liumen. You must ensure my life safety, otherwise you will be derelict in your duty!

Huo Xiu suddenly asked: "Captain Shen, I heard that you have several brothers. Why aren't they here?"

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and said: "My eldest brother Shen Yumen has been a wanderer since he was a child, and he owes countless love debts.

Not long ago, I went to Dali as an envoy to marry a sister-in-law in Miao territory. I found that she was seriously ill. My eldest brother took her back to Jiangling and asked a miracle doctor to cure the stubborn illness.

This time it was a big explosion. The family had a small amount of food for three days and a large amount of food for five days, and there was no peace for a moment.

My eldest brother didn't dare to leave home even half a step, for fear that as soon as he left, the house would become filled with poisonous fog and ghosts.

My two sworn brothers are extremely busy with official duties. One day, the whole family of Qian will be killed, and the next day, the heads of the Qian family will be chopped off. "

Yan Tieshan joked: "Lu Xiaofeng, you must remember the lessons learned from Alliance Leader Shen."

Shen Lian rarely defended Lu Xiaofeng: "Lu Xiaofeng doesn't have the worries of my elder brother. My elder brother will marry his lover back home, and Lu Xiaofeng will never get married."

Lu Xiaofeng:°Benefit°

I'm going to kill you!

When I understand the wonderful truth of the unity of reality and reality, I will let you try Grandmaster Xue’s unique skills that have been passed down through the ages!

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "What will you do if I get married? Who said I can't get married!"

Shen Lian's voice was cold and solemn: "If you can get married, as long as I haven't broken the void by then, I will definitely officiate the wedding for you myself."

"It's a deal!"

"Our old Shen spits out nothing but nails!"

Huamanlou followed Gonghuo: "I'm here to bear witness to you, and I will provide you with a house as a bonus. If Lu Xiaofeng gets married, I will provide you with a house."

Yan Tieshan laughed and said: "I am responsible for the jewelry and jades the bride wears. The phoenix crowns and jades must be the most precious, pearls as big as lychees."

"Boss Huo, what do you offer?"

"I'm responsible for the drinking. I'll cover all the wine you offer to Lu Xiaofeng, lest he get drunk and weak during the wedding."

"He is worthy of being the richest man in the Central Plains. His business skills are unparalleled, and he is no worse than my uncle."

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared!"

When it comes to business skills, Huo Xiu is definitely not bad in this aspect, but he is too greedy. In other words, Huo Xiu's heart has already been filled with greed.

Huo Xiu doesn't need anything.

He just needs money.

Making money is not for spending, not for debauchery, not for obtaining high-ranking titles, but simply for making money and counting money for fun.

I like counting silver bills with my fingers, the sound of gold and silver colliding, the unique smell of copper coins, and the coolness of holding jewelry and jade in my mouth.

People who are greedy for money are very common.

Throughout the ages, how many people have not been greedy for money?

He Shen's property was several times greater than that of Huo Xiu.

But people make money for expenses, and even Qianlong did not enjoy Heshen's luxury.

It is said that when Heshen was at his most prosperous, there were hundreds of cooks in his family, each of whom performed his or her own duties.

There was a cook who later lived among the people. When people asked her what she was responsible for at Heshen's house, whether she was responsible for making stir-fried pork or Mapo tofu, she said she was responsible for carving.

Instead of carving patterns on the radish and tofu, they carve patterns on the green onion used to mix the steamed buns with the meat filling.

As a man, Shen Lian II didn't know what steamed buns made with carved scallions tasted like.

That's probably the scent of money!

Of course, Qianlong is still a prince now, and Heshen is still a little kid. He Zhongtang still has several decades to make a fortune, so he probably has no chance in this life!

Everyone knew the war was coming.

Everyone tried to look as relaxed as possible.

The more Jianghu people are, the more they understand that you must not be nervous before a war. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to fail.

People who have been around for a long time will have special ways to relax, such as Huo Xiu rubbing a gold ingot, Yan Tieshan looking at Huo Tianqing, Shen Lian eating a whole roasted lamb, Lu Xiaofeng...

——Find Jiang Qingxia secretly!

After Shen Lian finished the roasted whole lamb, he even took out a Shang Tong Mo Fang and twisted it around enthusiastically.

In fact, Shen Lian felt a little itchy inside.

Especially when he caught a glimpse of Huo Xiu rubbing the gold ingot.

If Zuo Shi or Feng Siniang were here, I could rub the beauty's feet, that would be enjoyment.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and imagined Shang Tongmo Fang

——This is so unimaginable!

Shang Tong Mo Fang is the founder of the Mohist school, Mo Zhai. In order to let his disciples understand the principle of "Shang Tong", he created an organ creation, which is equivalent to the Rubik's Cube in later generations.

Although it is the simplest mechanism technique, it contains the principles and essence of Mohist mechanism technique.

The Shang Tong Mo Cube in Shen Lian's hand is an advanced version made by Xu Xiaoyi after studying non-attack. The original version is only a third-order Rubik's Cube, while Shen Lian's is a sixth-order Rubik's Cube.

Every time the Rubik's Cube is upgraded to a level, the difficulty of recovery increases exponentially, which is very, very brain-consuming.

He shouldn't have used his brain power before the battle, but Shen Lian was able to use this to suppress his frantic heart and consume all the frenzy in his heart on Shang Tong Mo Fang.

When it comes time to fight, there will no longer be any distracting thoughts in my mind, only the thought of defeating the enemy.

The carriage returned to silence, with only the sound of Shen Lian turning and Shang Tong Mo Fang. Just as Shen Lian was finishing one of the pieces, the carriage arrived at Jinpeng Manor.

"Everyone, please!"

Shen Lian got off the carriage first, gently opened the carriage curtain and made a "please" gesture.

Please of course have very kind words.

Please take a seat, please enjoy, and please die.

Whether it is a kind word or a bad word, as long as "please" is used in the speech, it will appear very elegant. If you add the honorific "you", it will be even more elegant.

What Shen Lian said was "please get out of the car", but it was tantamount to "please die". As for how many people will die today, it depends on each person's methods.

In three days, Huo Xiu had mobilized the huge resources of Qingyi Tower and arranged many secret agents.

The entire Jinpeng Manor was under Huo Xiu's supervision, including the so-called Big Jinpeng King.

Yan Tieshan didn't make any preparations. He just brought Huo Tianqing here and placed his treasure on Huo Tianqing.

Yan Tieshan only cares about what Huo Tianqing thinks.

If Huo Tianqing supports him, there will be no regrets even if he dies. If Huo Tianqing betrays him, there will be no point in living even if Huo Tianqing betrays him. It is better to just take a gamble.

Zuo Shi is not at Jinpeng Manor.

Shen Lian's eyes were a little more worried.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou talked about their qi, but their qi was extremely ethereal and they couldn't tell the difference between reality and reality.

Obviously, Shen Lian's nonsense story opened up the minds of the two of them. In just three days, the two of them had made great progress in martial arts, which needed to be verified by actual combat.

King Jinpeng came out in a sedan chair.

The ones carrying the sedan were Xiao Qiuyu and Dugu Fang.

Shangguan Xueer carried a flower basket and scattered flowers.

Shangguan Feiyan is standing on the left side of the sedan chair.

Shangguan Danfeng sat beside King Jinpeng.

Flowers paved a long path, and the entire manor was filled with an intoxicating aroma, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Shen Lian took a sip of the fragrance of the flowers, and then looked at the people around him: "Everyone, should we start fighting directly, or should we explain everything about the past clearly first."

Huo Xiu said calmly: "As people get older, they always miss the past a little bit. Let's make things clear first."

Yan Tieshan said sternly: "I am not a traitor! Did you forget when you swore by the Yellow River? Where is the pride of the royal family? Where is your promise?"

King Jinpeng opened his eyes. His eyes were full of chaos and filth, as if all the oil had been exhausted.

"That is the treasure of the Jinpeng Kingdom. You are all the subjects of the Jinpeng Kingdom. You must return the money."

King Jinpeng's voice was very soft and loose.

If it weren't for the fact that all the people present were martial arts masters with sharp ears and eyes, they wouldn't be able to understand what he was saying.

Yan Tieshan sneered and said: "Yes, as long as you say in front of me that the promises made by the Jinpeng royal family are all nonsense, I will hand over the treasure to you!"

Huo Xiu said coldly: "His promise has long been a fart. He came to me ten years ago. I gave him a fortune and he continued to ask for it after he spent it. How can a person who only knows how to spend money know how to make money?" Hard!"

"That's Jin Peng's money! That's what I gave you. Of course I can take it back!"

King Jinpeng never agrees with these things.

Shangguan Danfeng was a little surprised. This was different from what was originally agreed upon. How could they fight each other when they met?

Aren't you here to act and fool people?

How did you negotiate these things?

"Paji!"

King Jinpeng fell to the ground.

It was not that they fell down due to being too excited, but that Xiao Qiuyu and Dugu Fang's limbs were so weak that they collapsed to the ground.

Baihua Ruanjin Powder!

A bit like an orchid, a bit like musk, it alludes to Yan Jidao's famous saying "Ten miles of towers are leaning on the green, and the cuckoos are singing deep in the flowers." It is a very elegant poison!
