Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Hearing the knock on the door, the three looked up and saw Hong Guan and Shuangxi. Chen Shi had met Shuangxi yesterday, so he was not surprised. However, Zhao Guohui and Geng Liangchen widened their eyes in surprise.

Even though they knew they were not the same person, they looked so similar. Geng Liangchen was wearing a porter's clothes, and when he saw Shuangxi's outfit, he was very envious.

"Are you eating? Do you mind if I add a few dishes? Let's eat together!"

Chen Shi patted Geng Liangchen and said vaguely, "What are you looking at? Isn't this your long-lost brother? Hurry up and get the two of you some stools!"

Zhao Guohui and Chen Shi sat on one side, while Geng Liangchen and Shuangxi sat opposite each other, feeling like they were looking in the mirror.

Shuangxi put the meat dishes on the table and opened them. The three of them were dazzled, but Geng Liangchen quickly looked up and stared at Shuangxi.

"You have a nice outfit."

Shuangxi laughed and said, "Like?"

Geng Liangchen nodded, "I like it."

"want to?"

"want to!"

"Let's have a fight later. If you beat me, I'll give you this outfit. This is a good thing Brother Guan gave me. I was shot twice yesterday, but nothing happened. There's no trace on my clothes!"

Geng Liangchen's eyes lit up even more. "What if I lose?"

Shuangxi looked at Geng Liangchen's arrogant expression and said, "Do you think there is anything on your body that I would like? I only have one request, let's compare weapons!"

Geng Liangchen looked at the Miao Dao on the table, his eyes brightened, "Okay, let's compare weapons!"

Chen Shi's mouth twitched when he heard this. What the hell, you're comparing weapons. You're using the Eight-Cut Knife to fight the Miao Knife. Do you know that an inch longer is an inch stronger? If the two are of similar skill, the one with the longer weapon has at least a 20% chance of winning!

Zhao Guohui licked her lips and said, "We can have the competition anytime. Can we eat first? It smells so good!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "Mrs. Chen, please! Master Chen, try the tonic wine I brought. It's good for strengthening your body!"

Zhao Guohui couldn't help but take a bite of the pork elbow, and she couldn't stop at all. She ate the braised beef and roast chicken with gusto. However, she ate the roast duck that the system pulled out the least!

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Shuangxi and Geng Liangchen stood on both sides of the courtyard, less than three meters apart. Shuangxi held a Miao Dao and Geng Liangchen held two Eight-Cut Swords, which looked a bit funny!

The three of them moved the table farther away and made some tea. Hong Guan took a sip, then lost interest and said, "Let's start!"

Geng Liangchen rushed forward while Shuangxi didn't draw his sword, trying to catch Shuangxi off guard by taking advantage of the time difference when Shuangxi drew his sword. In close combat, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous, and the Eight Cutting Sword has more advantages.

But Shuangxi pushed the scabbard forward, and with the blessing of attributes exceeding those of ordinary people, the scabbard shot towards Geng Liangchen like a sharp arrow!

Geng Liangchen dodged sideways, but he also lost the initiative. Instead, Shuangxi seized the opportunity and stepped forward to chop in front of him. He could only raise the Eight-Cut Sword and hold it with both hands!

Although he blocked the attack, he was forced to kneel on one knee under the suppression of Shuangxi's enormous power, and both of his eight-cut swords were cut.

Shuangxi took advantage and stepped forward, using another move to chop forward. Geng Liangchen reacted quickly, and while Shuangxi was raising his knife, he rolled over and dodged in a panic.

But it also made him lose the opportunity to resist. Shuangxi kept moving forward, using his Miao Dao to open and close with great force to overwhelm Geng Liangchen, who was beaten left and right.

With the last slash, the two eight-cut swords were cut off, and Shuangxi's Miao Dao stopped less than one centimeter away from Geng Liangchen's forehead, cutting off a few strands of his hair.

Shuangxi put away his sword and stood up, with a smile on his face, "You lose!"

Geng Liangchen looked dejected. "Yes, I lost."

"It seems that you can't take my clothes and knife away."

Geng Liangchen looked unconvinced, "Who said that? As long as you give me a chance, your clothes and knife will be mine sooner or later!"

Shuangxi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. As long as you want to challenge me before you leave Tianjin, you can. If you win, the clothes and the knife are yours!"

Hong Guan gave Chen Shi a cigarette and said, "Master Chen, how is Shuangxi's knife skills?"

Chen Shi nodded. "Although his sword skills are still a little rusty, he is full of killing intent and has extraordinary power. Besides, that sword is really a good sword!"

"Do you want to practice with Shuangxi?"

Chen Shi shook his head, "No, I can't win."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Although Shuangxi's swordsmanship is not yet at the master level, his strength, speed and reaction are much higher than mine. I am no match for him!"

Hong Guan gave a thumbs up and said, "Master Chen has a good eye. Zou Rong came to the yard I rented to look for me last night, and he brought a group of soldiers with him."

Chen Shi's face was serious. "Did you guys take action?"

"Yes, only Zou Rong is alive. I also killed Zheng Shanao's apprentice Lin Xiwen! I asked Zou Rong to tell them to fight Shuangxi in a round-robin match at the place where Huo Yuanjia was fighting in three days.

If they win, Shuangxi and I will leave Tianjin. If we lose, all martial arts schools in Tianjin will teach the real thing. Otherwise, you will either die or get out of Tianjin!"

Chen Shi's face changed drastically. "You killed Lin Xiwen, aren't you afraid that his commander will lead his troops into the city to kill you?"

Hong Guan couldn't help laughing. "Tianjin City, is it that Marshal who has the final say? There are many concessions here, and there are foreign warships on the sea. Does he dare?

Besides, Lin Xiwen is just an adjutant. To put it bluntly, he is a lackey with no real power. If he was really favored, would he be sent out to mix with the martial arts world?

What era is this? What do we rely on to fight wars now? Guns and cannons. A child with a gun in his hand can kill a martial arts master."

Chen Shi sighed, "Yes, the era of martial arts has passed. But if you let Shuangxi challenge all the martial arts in Tianjin alone, can he succeed? Why don't you let Geng Liangchen and I lead the way for you?"

Hong Guan shook his head and said, "No, you can have a relationship with us privately, but you must not get involved, otherwise when we leave, there will be two more bodies in the Haihe River."

"Then why don't you, Brother Hong, support Shuangxi. If he loses, you can still go up!"

"That's too much! Even if they come together, they are still not enough for me to defeat alone!"

"What if Shuangxi loses?"

Hong Guan curled his lips and said, "Then I will overturn the table. Setting up the arena is to give them face. If they don't follow the rules and use human wave tactics to make Shuangxi lose, I will make them see blood!"

Chen Shi's mouth twitched. This is also possible. Is it so awesome just because you have a big fist? Come to think of it, it is true. Lin Xiwen brought a team of soldiers and couldn't take him down. People from the martial arts industry should not be able to do it either!

As the sun sets, Hong Guan and Shuang Xi say goodbye and tell the three of them where they live. They can come anytime if they need anything. Geng Liangchen's eyes are eager to try, and he obviously wants to continue the challenge.

The two men returned to the courtyard and saw a man in a long gown, probably in his thirties, with a mustache and big joints on his hands. He was a master.

Hong Guan recognized him at a glance. This man was Guo Decheng from The Archer Liu Baiyuan, a spy, but it was hard to say who he belonged to, after all, there were too many warlords nowadays.

Seeing Hong Guan, Guo Decheng immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Marshal Hong, I am Guo Decheng!"

Hong Guan looked at him calmly, "You come here uninvited, you are a thief."

Guo Decheng's face froze. "Marshal Hong misunderstood. You didn't lock the door. I just came in to wait for you. I definitely didn't mean anything else."

"Haha, if I see your wife is pretty and you're not at home, can I have some fun with her? I don't mean anything else!"

The anger in Guo Decheng's eyes flashed, and then quickly disappeared. "Marshal Hong, you are joking. I don't have a wife yet. If you want a woman, I can arrange one for you."

Hong Guan smiled playfully, "Oh? You're so polite. What's the matter? Tell me!"

“I heard that Marshal Hong is a capable person, so I want to cooperate with Marshal Hong to kill someone!”

Hong Guan sat opposite Guo Decheng, playing with the jade pendant in his hand. "Who are you? Why should I cooperate with you? What gives you the right to cooperate with me?"

Facing Hong Guan's three questions, Guo Decheng seemed very calm. "My commander-in-chief is also Lin Xiwen's commander-in-chief. The area around Tianjin City is under his control. He has about 10,000 soldiers with excellent weapons and equipment.

Kill him, and all his money, weapons, and soldiers will belong to Marshal Hong."

"Then why do you do this? What can you gain?"

Guo Decheng smiled complacently, "Marshal Hong's roots are in Sichuan. You will take the soldiers, weapons and money back to Sichuan because you can't stand here. What I want is the territory around Tianjin."

Hong Guan looked at De Cheng seriously and said, "You are very interesting. It turns out that you are not this handsome guy, and you are very calculating. But you can't afford my gun."

Guo Decheng bowed and said, "Marshal Hong, if you have any conditions, just ask. As long as I can do it, it's all fine!"

"whatever?"

"whatever!"

"You should be a master as well. My brother Shuangxi has also been challenging masters recently. You fight him. If you win, I will help you. If you die, everything will be over. Do you dare to fight?"

Guo Decheng looked at Shuangxi solemnly, then looked at the knife in Shuangxi's hand and said, "I didn't bring any weapons today!"

Hong Guan smiled. As a spy, he had a lot of ideas. He saw that Shuangxi's knife was good and wanted to compete with Shuangxi in boxing and kicking.

"You can go back and get it. As long as it's tonight, my promise will stand!"

Guo Decheng nodded, looked at Shuangxi twice, then stood up and said goodbye.

Shuangxi walked up to Hong Guan and said, "Brother Guan, do you want to cooperate with him?"

Hong Guan shook his head. "I won't cooperate with him, so he will die in the duel. But remember, he is a master of spearmanship. He has a trick of coming back to attack. Although he hasn't practiced it well, he is still better than you. Be careful!"

Shuangxi nodded, walked to the table and sat down, with a serious look on his face, which made Hong Guan a little confused. "Shuangxi, what are you doing?"

"Wait for that Guo Decheng. It shouldn't take too long for him to go back and get his weapons, right?"

Hong Guan sneered, "You are such a rookie. He wants to make you feel this way, to make you tense up, to drain your energy and momentum, and then we can fight again. That way, you will have a better chance of winning."

"Really?"

"Haha, why don't we make a bet? If Guo Decheng comes back within three hours, I will make you a Qi family sword."

"What if he doesn't come back?"

"When we return to the base camp, you can find a wife and have some children to continue your family line!"

Shuangxi wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist the temptation of Qi Jiadao, and gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, it's a deal!"
