I'm the best catcher in martial arts

For the Chinese, celebrating the New Year is the most important thing.

Nothing can stop the thoughts of celebrating the New Year. No matter the great villain or the great sage, they will subconsciously relax before the New Year and prepare to celebrate the New Year well.

Li Chenzhou will temporarily put aside his ambition, Liu Suifeng will temporarily put aside his conspiracy, and Shen Lian will temporarily curb his evil spirit and murderous intentions. No one will cause trouble at this time.

It is especially impossible to cause trouble in Jinling.

Of course, before celebrating the New Year, you have to sum up your gains and losses this year. Everyone will sum up.

Old farmers would sum up how much grain they had harvested;

Merchants would summarize how much gold and silver they made;

Martial artists will summarize how much their martial arts have improved;

Officials will summarize official promotion status;

And the most important thing - how far was last year's plan completed? If less is completed, then slightly change the year name as a plan for next year.

Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows.

Procrastination is definitely not a good thing, especially if you have a workaholic boss above you.

Shen Lian felt very uncomfortable now.

Because tomorrow is the day to hand in the summary.

If he fails to hand it in tomorrow and Lao Zhu cannot see Shen Lian's memorial, Zhu Yueming will definitely get a beating.

Why was Zhu Yueming beaten?

Because Zhu Yueming wanted to lose weight but didn't have the self-control to let Shen Lian stare at him, which was a huge waste of Shen Lian's time. This was all Zhu Yueming's fault.

Zhu Yueming has been on a vegetarian diet every day recently, and has given up all sweets and meats from his diet. As he eats, his fair and fat face turns into a faint green color. It is better not to irritate him.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome for this guy to hang himself in front of Shen Lian's house in the middle of the night on a dark and windy night.

Relying on his extreme hand speed, Shen Lian finally finished writing the memorial before writing tenosynovitis on his fingers. He fell asleep with a face full of exhaustion and felt comfortable all over.

Be sure to quit procrastinating next year!

…

The winter sun is soft and warm.

The climate in Jinling is very mild, completely different from the ice and snow in the north. Although there is some snow, it is just a silver decoration, not thousands of miles of ice.

Shen Lian petted the big yellow dog and counted the snow water dripping from the eaves, with a look of leisure and contentment on his face.

Feng Siniang went to the palace to report on her duties.

Tantai Jingming went to Xu Yeyue to fool around.

Zuo Shi went to purchase supplies needed for the New Year.

Shen Lian's memorial has been written and sent according to the rules of the six doors, so he can enjoy his annual vacation in peace.

So damn comfortable!

Not only does he have time to pet his dog, but he also has time to bathe and brush his beloved horse. Few people are more leisurely than Shen Lian.

Including Shen Lian’s senior brother Xu Xiaoyi.

Xu Xiaoyi lived in seclusion in the countryside and originally lived hundreds of times more leisurely than Shen Lian. However, Zhu Yuanzhang tested Shen Lian and asked Shen Lian to recommend talents. Shen Lian, based on the selfless principle of not avoiding relatives during internal promotions, recommended Xu Xiaoyi to Lao Zhu.

This is not because Shen Lian is looking for trouble, nor does it mean that Shen Lian has some small agenda, but he knows how to make good use of people.

Xu Xiaoyi studied literature and martial arts and sold his goods to the emperor's family. Xu Xiaoyi was definitely not willing to live in seclusion in the countryside. If there was an official position suitable for him, Xu Xiaoyi would definitely not refuse it.

Breeding is a technical job that requires people who understand astronomy and geography, as well as mathematics and statistics. These are Xu Xiaoyi's expertise, and there is absolutely no problem with his ability.

What is Xu Xiaoyi best at?

Formation!

How does the formation work?

Laying out the layout according to the natural environment, stimulating the vitality of the heaven and earth and connecting the earth's energy, and calculating the changes in the formation according to the enemy's situation, which happened to be astronomy, geography, and mathematics. Xu Xiaoyi was best at these.

During the recent period, Xu Xiaoyi has been busy dealing with the assessment of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there are countless math problems throughout the day.

There will definitely be no rest for a short period of time.

Tired, but very happy!

…

The civil and military ministers endured the howling cold wind and waited outside the Fengtian Palace to go to court. Being an official is not easy. It really means that you wake up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog.

This is helpless, who made the emperor so curled up?

The emperor is already so busy, how can the minister be so lazy? Aren't you afraid that one day you will come home and find Zhu Yuanzhang squatting on your stool, eating your supper?

Liu Bowen and Mr. Liu were very touched by this.

Lao Zhu secretly ate several pots of hot pot shredded pork noodles!

It’s okay if he doesn’t have a late night snack. The key point is that Lao Zhu is too good at scaring people and keeping them awake at night.

The armored general crossed the pass at night, the courtiers were waiting for the cold weather, and the eminent monks in the mountain temple had not yet risen. It seemed that fame and fortune were not as good as leisure.

Shen Lian has not yet reached the realm of an old monk.

Although you don't have to go to court in the cold wind, you do have to crawl out of the warm bed, get up and go for morning exercises. You still have to persist in morning exercises. This is a good habit.

When Shen Lian was practicing Wudang's authentic Tai Chi, it was finally time to go to court. A warm fire was lit in the Fengtian Hall, and the smoke came out along the copper pillars. There was no carbon monoxide poisoning or any smoky fire.

This is the nihilistic design of the master architect.

The Jinling Palace has a perfect heating, drainage, and exhaust system. The north wind blows outside the house, but inside it is as warm as spring, and it alternates between cold and hot.

——It’s easy to catch a cold!

Perhaps due to the long-term infighting with Zhu Yuanzhang, the physical fitness of the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty was very good. Few people had fevers and colds, so the hospital saved a lot of energy.

Someone has summarized this matter, and even summarized the medical records of civil and military officials. Such a serious person should of course be greatly rewarded and given a stay in the elegant room of Dongchang Tianlao.

Jin Duyi, a Manchu spy, was quartered by five horses.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Eunuch Chen's shrill voice came from afar.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."

Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, and almost all the year is good, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he rarely dealt with state affairs and gave everyone a holiday.

We went to court today to discuss the palace dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Dear dear friends, over the past year or so, I have been blessed with God's love. The Ming Dynasty has been smooth, the world is at peace, and the territory has been expanded. Near the end of the year, several happy events have happened. This is my blessing, and it is also yours. My dear, please relax a little today."

Ministers: (||-ω-)-ω-)-ω-)

Zhu Yuanzhang went on to say: "For this year's palace dinner, all your loved ones can bring their families. I want to have fun with all of you, so there is no need to be too formal."

Ministers: ((-_-)-_-)-_-)

Zhu Yuanzhang recited the manuscript enthusiastically, and the ministers made expressions in agreement. In an atmosphere where everyone felt a little awkward, today's court meeting ended.

After the dynasty ended, Shen Lian went to his master's house to deliver New Year's gifts.

This cannot be regarded as accepting or giving bribes. This is an annual gift of the master-disciple relationship, and no one can find fault with it.

It's just that Shen Lian's net worth is relatively rich and the gifts he gave to his master are more valuable. That's all. The censor was blinded and couldn't figure out how to participate.

"Disciple, see your master."

Guo Bujing returned from attending the court meeting with a slightly stiff smile. When he saw Shen Lian, he smiled awkwardly, as if he had been punched ten times in the face by Lu Zhishen.

"Master, are you having a stroke?"

"Bah! You can't say anything nice when you open your mouth."

"You blame the other master for this matter. If it weren't for the weird mental skills he taught me, I wouldn't be able to talk faster than my brain. You two go and reason!"

"What a bastard!"

Guo Bujing looked at Shen Lian angrily, wondering whether he was scolding Shen Lian or Wei Qingqingqing.

He should be scolding Wei Qingqingqing!

"Master, what are your orders?"

"His Majesty is allowed to bring his family members to the palace dinner this year. This is normal. There are so many good things happening this year. Your Majesty is very happy this year."

"Do you need a performance? Let the civil and military ministers show their abilities, such as breaking a big stone from the chest..."

"Yes, His Majesty personally ordered the show and asked me and you to perform a big stone crushing the chest. I have prepared the big stone. You go and prepare the chest!"

Listening to the two people's chatting, the teacher's wife felt that she was really careless, so she brought a plate of snacks and reminded them that there was still something to do, and it should be completed as soon as possible.

"You two, stop chatting, go and invite Su Mengzhen and Lei Sun out, and ask them to restrain their subordinates. If there are those who commit crimes, they must be dealt with quickly."

The Chinese New Year is naturally joyful, but it can also make people subconsciously relax their vigilance, giving evil people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Petty theft, flower-making, and accounts of the king of hell are very common during the Chinese New Year. On the one hand, the whole family is happy, but on the other hand, they cry to heaven and earth, or freeze to death under the bridge.

Every New Year, Guo Bujing would meet with the leaders of major gangs in Jinling and ask them to restrain their subordinates.

Nowadays, there are three pillars of martial arts forces in the capital.

First of all, the Xining faction, the Jinyiwei training camp, is the most deeply involved with the imperial court, and they will definitely not cause trouble.

Next is Liufenbantang. The founder of the sect is Lei Zhenlei, the "Great God of Thunder" from the Lei family of Perak Hall. The person who made Liufenbantang soar to the sky is the chief leader Lei Sheng.

When Lei was young, he was a shady person. His best thing in life was stabbing people in the back, which made him provoke countless enemies. One time, in order to avoid disaster, he had to become a monk.

However, as his martial arts became more advanced and talents like Di Feijing were recruited, he became relatively restrained in doing things and formulated many rules to restrain his subordinates.

Liufenbantang puts loyalty first in doing things. All the gold and silver earned by Liufenbantang's subordinates must give three and a half to the main hall. When something goes wrong, the main hall will send out the six and a half of the strength he needs. help.

For example, if a hundred people are needed to help out, the main church will send 65 people, all free of charge, with all meals and lodging included.

About 60% of the underworld forces in Jinling belong to Liufenbantang. Looking at the entire world, Liufenbantang is also the top underworld gang, Haohai Jiaolong.

A slightly inferior force to Liufenbantang was called Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower, and its founder was named Su Muzhe. It was said that he was a descendant of Su Dongpo and had connections with the DPRK and China.

The current poster's name is Su Mengzhen, and he is one of the most "miraculous" people in the world.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang only had the word "miracle" in his evaluation of Su Mengzhen, and he was a miraculous person.

Su Mengzhen suffered severe internal injuries since childhood and was infected with more than 20 diseases. Many of the illnesses did not even have names, not to mention the methods of treating them.

Normal people suffering from two or three diseases can be said to be certain to die. Hua Tuo would shake his head when he saw this.

Su Mengzhen was infected with more than 20 kinds of diseases. Not only did he not die, but he stimulated his body's potential.

He studied martial arts under the Red Sleeve God Nun of Xiaohan Mountain and cultivated pure Buddhist Qi. He used this as a reconciliation to restrain many diseases and achieve a balance.

The advantage is that relying on the pressure of the disease can stimulate the body's potential, and the martial arts can advance rapidly. The disadvantage is that the disease affects the whole body. It cannot treat a few of the diseases alone, nor can it treat them all at once.

Light medicine, bad treatment.

Strong medicine, the body cannot bear it.

Dozens of miraculous doctors have worked hard for several years, but they can only slightly alleviate the complications, and even the cough cannot be cured.

If you don’t see the person, hear the sound first.

Su Mengzhen's "sound" was coughing.

Every time I see Su Mengzhen, especially in winter, I can hear hysteria, a cough that seems to be coughing out the heart, liver, spleen and lungs from the throat.

The characteristic of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower is "sound".

The characteristic of the six-and-a-half-minute hall is "shape".

Every time I see the chief hall master, the first thing I see is his bald head, which is shiny and shiny.

This was the most humiliating memory for Lei Sheng. In order to avoid disaster, he had to become a monk. After realizing his shame, he became brave and left this bald head to warn himself to be cautious in doing things.

Every time I see Di Feijing, I can see his head hanging down. His neck bone is broken and his head can only hang down forever. However, because of his great ability, the world respectfully calls Di Feijing "Dowhead". Dragon".

Now, all three people are gathered in the room.

Su Mengzhen stopped coughing and was standing by the window admiring the snow scene, with his back to Lei Xiang unprepared.

The two are old enemies competing for territory. According to Lei Sheng's habit, he should pull out the "shoulder knife", pierce Su Mengzhen's heart with one knife, and chop off his head.

It stands to reason that this is indeed the case.

Turning your back on lightning damage is very dangerous.

Thunder Damage should have drawn his sword, so he didn't.

Because his sword is named "Shouldn't", it often doesn't appear when it should appear, and when it shouldn't be used, it is likely to eject from the scabbard.

There was another person in the room.

This man is young and handsome, with a slender figure, a black mole on his forehead, and a gentle manner. His name is Yang Wuxie, and he is good at collecting and organizing information.

The intelligence system of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower was established by Yang Wuxie himself. He was Su Mengzhen's most trusted confidant in his life, and he was worthy of Su Mengzhen's trust.

Su Mengzhen would casually mention a person, a thing, a name, or a place, and Yang Wuxie would be able to tell the relevant information and analyze it in detail.

Lei Shu touched his bald head and looked at Su Mengzhen with some trepidation: "Su Mengzhen, can you turn around, otherwise I would like to stab you in the back."

Su Mengzhen said softly: "This is just a good way to temper your heart, so as not to cause trouble again."

Lei Sun twitched the corner of his mouth. Being able to form the strongest underworld gang in a treasured place like Jinling where dragons and tigers dominate, Lei Sun was certainly not a big boss, but he liked to be rude.

People tend to be more tolerant of rude people.

Big Boss is a very good disguise, and all his insidious and cunning calculations are hidden under his recklessness.

Lei Sun asked naively: "Every year, Guo Juxia tells us not to cause trouble before the New Year. What's the fucking use? I also want to have a good New Year!"

Su Mengzhen said: "This year is different."

"How is it different?"

"You have a low-headed dragon, why do you need to ask me?"

Su Mengzhen immediately fell silent.

He doesn't like to talk. Talking will inhale more cold air, which can easily cause severe coughing.

Di Feijing said calmly: "It can be said that everything is going well for the court this year. The two missions are showing off in the border areas, the fourth prince has conquered Xixia, and there are rumors that Shen Lian has dug up several large treasures. The treasury is very abundant, and the prince has something to do with his travels." Strange encounters, happy events every month.”

"so what?"

"A prosperous year, the Emperor Longyan is very happy. If someone makes trouble in the capital at the end of the year, it will be like pouring a spoonful of swill into his New Year's Eve dinner."

Di Fei's face was very calm.

He had already thought about the situation at the end of the year, and specially invited all the hall masters to the main hall. If they said they were sick and couldn't come, he would forcefully pull them over with carriages and let them celebrate the New Year in the Jinling main hall, and they were never allowed to cause trouble outside.

Su Mengzhen had a similar plan, and even stopped the underworld business and gave all his subordinates annual leave.

Di Feijing's answer is very correct, but also nonsense, because everyone can think of this.

That's not what Su Mengzhen wanted to ask.

Di Fei was shocked to know that this was definitely not the answer Su Mengzhen wanted, but he insisted on answering this.

"It's not easy for us to live in the world. Others envy us for making money every day and thinking that we live a happy life playing music and singing every night. But they don't know that in Jinling, there are princes everywhere, and we, the mud-legged people, can only make ends meet with our tails between our legs. , so damn frustrating.”

Lei Sun scratched his bald head in frustration.

"Since Mr. Lei feels aggrieved, why not hand over the position of the chief hall leader? The young people of the Lei family are certainly not afraid of being aggrieved, and neither is Mr. Su."

Guo Bujing pushed open the door and entered, followed by Shen Lian. (End of chapter)
