[Comprehensive martial arts] Master let me cultivate myself

In this noisy scene of fishing four-gill perch, the young owner of Wuzheng Villa really fits the meaning of the word Wuzheng.

If it weren't for the information he revealed from his speech to some details, people had to associate him with the owner of Bat Island, at this moment he is indeed a reclusive look.

If it is said that he only wants to temporarily live in Throwing Cup Villa based on the status of Songjiang Mansion, I am afraid it is not necessarily the case, so he is bound to be a trouble to Zuo Qinghou.

Not long after she finished speaking, Zuo Qinghou had strode up to them.

When viewed from a distance, he appeared to be at ease among the group of people, with the attitude of a wealthy and leisurely man.

When he got closer, he realized that the famous Zuo Erye in the south of the Yangtze River actually didn't look young anymore. After all, he was an old enemy who had been fighting with Xue Yiren for 30 to [-] years.

"A rare visitor, Xiangshuai, I didn't expect you to come to my door, don't say you just crossed the Songjiang River, just take a look at the Xiuye ​​Bridge and it's over. If you don't come to my Throwing Cup Villa for a few days, you just don't consider me Zuo Qinghou as a friend .”

"What did the second master say?" Chu Liuxiang smiled, "My nose is not good enough to smell the fragrant sea bass. By the way, this is my junior sister, and the second master Zuo should have heard her name."

"I've heard it, of course I have." Zuo Qinghou's face showed a bit of admiration, "Brother Zhu has raised a good apprentice, who is capable of breaking Li Guanyu's six-person sword formation and defeating the Star Picking Taoist , can even break through the Great Zhou Tianjue Divine Formation of the empress in the future, stronger than Yedi back then, he really is a hero born a boy, but how did I hear..."

"I heard that she will be detained on Changchun Island in the future, and even I will be folded in, right?" Chu Liuxiang patted Zuo Qinghou on the shoulder, "Second Master Zuo, how can you believe the rumors in the world unless you have seen it with your own eyes, let alone It’s all across the sea, and I’m not an unreasonable person in the future, it’s just love and desire to keep my junior sister on the island, as for me, do you think I look like I’m sleeping on the island?”

"I saw that you not only didn't look hungry and thin, but also had a flushed face. Fortunately, I was so worried for you." Zuo Qinghou shook his head and laughed.

"You can't say that. If Zuo Erye doesn't bring out your special dishes today, I'm sorry for the good news I brought you." Chu Liuxiang's mysterious expression really aroused Zuo Qinghou's curiosity.

"Xiangshuai, let's listen."

"Junior Sister went to Xuejiazhuang after returning to the Central Plains..."

"Because of the matter of Bat Island in the sea before, I don't know if Second Master Zuo has heard of it."

Shi Nian suddenly interrupted Chu Liuxiang's words.

As soon as the words "Bat Island" came out, she saw Yuan Suiyun's calm expression pause slightly, but it seemed that she was just a subconscious reaction to something not very good.

Chu Liuxiang saw the wink that Shi Nian gave him, so she didn't interrupt her statement that cause and effect were reversed.

"Bat Island...is the golden cave on the sea that was taken away by the empress in the future when it was about to make waves. I have heard of such a thing."

"A guy named Ding Feng from Bat Island fell into my hands before," she continued, "Ding Feng said that the matter on Bat Island is related to Xuejiazhuang."

"Xue Yiren wouldn't do such a thing." Zuo Qinghou replied immediately, frowning.

These two people really deserve to be old enemies. Xue Yiren heard that the person who asked Xue Xiaoren to kill Ding Feng disappeared near the Throwing Cup Villa, and immediately denied that it was Zuo Qinghou who did it. Confession, it is also considered to be framed.

"It's really not Master Xue." Shi Nian replied, "But I still had a fight with Master Xue."

"So the good news that Xiangshuai said was that Xue Yiren was defeated?" Zuo Qinghou couldn't help but looked at Shi Nian with surprised eyes, and didn't see the slightest complacency on the girl's face and what should not be praised. The embarrassment is quite natural.

"Just a fluke."

Yuan Suiyun's brows moved invisibly.

Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes three months ago, he still heard her confrontation with the six swordsmen in Yongcui Villa. At that time, her skills were indeed superior to Shuai Yifan's, but it was not without a bit of ingenuity to break the formation , it should not be Xue Yiren's opponent.

Ding Feng did a good deed. Although he was caught, he was smart enough to use a trick to divert the water, but he also gave him a bad news. For three months on Changchun Island, under the guidance of the future , she has reached the point where she can defeat Xue Yiren.

If such a person is still in Jiangnan, he will cause trouble for him.

Maybe... maybe he should think of a way to deal with her.

Ever since the gold selling cave at sea was destroyed and the goods were robbed, he had made up his mind never to expose himself too much. The substitute found in the middle of the month was arranged to be his own scapegoat.

So to make people disappear, he can't do it himself.

It's a pity that the Assassin Organization's declaration that it never misses is false. Even killing a Shenlong Gang Yun Conglong will end up annihilated. The "thugs" he recruited need to be stronger.

Daqimen Tie Zhongtang's wife and her master are brothers and sisters. The jellyfish Yin Ji's apprentice followed her at the time, and obviously had a good opinion of her. Yedi is her master, and the news seems to favor her at this moment in the future Plus, the only ones who might pose a threat to her are...

"Master Yuan?" Zuo Mingzhu's voice interrupted his contemplation.

"What's wrong?" The sullen look on Yuan Suiyun's face flashed past, as if he was just in a daze, Zuo Mingzhu suspected that he had read it wrong, and it was clear that the gentle and handsome face was only distracted at the moment. It's just guilt.

"Father just said that senior Xue Yiren was defeated, and his old opponent can eat two more bowls of rice today, so he plans to do everything from catching fish to cooking by himself." Zuo Mingzhu looked at his father's face from a distance The smiling face couldn't help showing a bit of joy.

But this joy slowly subsided when he realized that his father still had no intention of turning the fight with Xue Jiazhuang into a friendship, leaving only a kind of bitterness welling up in his heart.

She obviously didn't say a word, but Yuan Suiyun seemed to be able to see her frowning, and suddenly said, "Miss Zuo, don't worry so much, I said I will help you, even if you don't believe Yuan, We should also believe that Wuzheng Villa still has some right to speak in Jianghu."

"Of course I believe you." Zuo Mingzhu whispered quickly.

No one in the Jianghu knows that the prestige of Wuzheng Villa, the No. [-] martial arts family, even Xue Yiren, who has not yet retired, dares to act presumptuously in front of the door.

If Wuzheng Villa is willing to mediate, so that the enmity between Xue Family Village and Throwing Cup Villa can be resolved, she doesn't have to watch Xue Bin marry Shi Yin, and she can marry Shi Yin in a legitimate way.

Her father didn't want her to marry far away, so Xuejiazhuang was not too far away.

Zuo Mingzhu naively thought about this wonderful prospect.

It's just that she didn't understand why Yuan Suiyun had lived in the Throwing Cup Villa for a few days, but she didn't seem to have mentioned to her father the reconciliation she wanted to hear. Instead, she directly pointed out that her father's temper was not only bad Will agree, or even rebel, it is better to change the way, but it may have to wrong her to make some sacrifices.

Zuo Mingzhu looked towards the shore going down from Xiuye ​​Bridge, Zuo Qinghou was quite interested and planned to show them the technique of catching fish with flying hands.

"I have always heard that Zuo Erye's fingering and palm skills are rarely matched by anyone in the south of the Yangtze River, but we appreciate Er Ye's kindness. There is no way for the master to use his famous skills to catch fish for guests, let alone you are a senior... ..." Shi Nian stopped Zuo Qinghou's move.

She flipped her palm and hit the water with a volley.

Zuo Qinghou finally understood why she already had the ability to challenge Xue Yiren.

When she put her palm into the water, the water wave did not blow up, only a few bubbles that seemed to be boiling. The next moment, two perch jumped out of the water, and the silver light flashed on her fingertips. on her silk thread.

The dragging of the silver needle flying thread did not kill the two fish, the fish were still jumping around alive and kicking in the basket, but the silk thread in Shi Nian's hand had already been taken back.

She squatted down and rinsed the silk thread in the water, and put it back into the sleeve.

"It's a trick of boiling water to scare fish, and the skill of threading silver thread." Zuo Qinghou couldn't help clapping his hands and praised, "Just because I can see such a skill today, I have to show some real skills!"

"Speaking of which, today I'm the one who got the favor of my junior sister." Chu Liuxiang teased. "I can't be idle anymore."

He suddenly waded into the water, his clothes never touched the water, but his hand had already accurately fished out a perch from the water, and threw them into the fish basket after he flew back.

Chu Liuxiang settled in her original position, shaking the water droplets that did not exist on her robe.

"Xiang Shuai's move, the lightness kung fu ability of the world is not comparable to many, but it's a pity that it still loses the shocking effect of your junior sister." Zuo Qinghou commented.

What is the effect of hitting the water with her palm like this, it should have the same effect when hitting a person.

Fish can still jump out of boiling water, but human blood is burned like this, but it is really terrible.

Not to mention that she didn't startle when she hit the water with this palm, it was obvious that the manipulation of her palm force had reached the point of perfection.

"Didn't you just say that a hero is a boy?" Chu Liuxiang replied, "I'm not afraid that you will patronize my junior sister. I forgot that there are still a few guests here, especially Zhang San from the fast net. Grilled fish is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, but when it comes to sea bass, no one can admire you, Second Master Zuo."

Zuo Qinghou smiled casually, "Then you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to eat and drink today, if you don't come with me until you don't get drunk, you will look down on me, Zuo Qinghou."

Passing through the black lacquered gate that is open all the year round, it is the Throwing Cup Villa that consists of six or seven courtyards.

Compared with Xuejiazhuang, which is built on the mountain, Throwing Cup Villa is more stable, but the scent of wine, flowers, tea and orchid musk powder that can be smelled as soon as you enter the door undoubtedly makes this stable and stable. escape.

The music reverberating from the corridors on all sides made it difficult to tell where it came from for a while, and it seemed to be the joyful atmosphere soaked from every inch of bricks and tiles in this manor. .

And when the owner of Throwing Cup Villa came back, the music became more lively.

"I heard that there are the most beautiful singers and dancers in the south of the Yangtze River, the most mellow and sweet wine, and the most tasteful diners in Throwing Cup Villa. Although I haven't met anyone, I can already know that this is true."

"Compared to your master?" Zuo Qinghou raised his voice and asked.

"Each has its own merits." Shi Nian gave an evaluation, and this evaluation was obviously very suitable for Zuo Qinghou's temper.

He and Zhu Zao are the kind of people who only want to be happy and rich, but not to be enshrined as a marquis or a prime minister. If there is a saying among famous doctors, the rich and idle people should have the title of Nan Zuo Bei Zhu.

So he couldn't help laughing when he heard Shi Nian's words, "Okay, I can tell you that each has its own merits. Even the Wanfu Wanshou Garden can’t compare to a good horse. I don’t have a famous sword here, so I can only match a horse with a hero. When the time comes, you can choose a batch of the best ones, and it’s considered—”

"It's also a meeting gift from Uncle Shi."

Chu Liuxiang was so shocked by his words, "Second Master, if I remember correctly, you asked me to call you Second Brother last time when I was drinking..."

"Seniority is something different." Zuo Qinghou waved his hand, obviously he didn't care much about it, and went to the back kitchen with the fish basket, and asked Zuo Mingzhu to lead them to the living room to settle down.

When a table of dishes was prepared properly, the highlight of the table was indeed the sea bass fried by Zuo Qinghou himself.

Xiuyeqiao's four-gilled perch is famous all over the world for a reason, and through the hands of Zuo Qinghou, this deliciousness has been brought to the extreme.

Zuo Mingzhu said with a gentle and dignified smile, "Father hasn't entertained guests like this for a long time, so it can be seen that today is really happy."

Shi Nian looked at Zuo Mingzhu, although there was a hidden worry hidden in her brows, but it did not damage her beauty. In Qinghou's case, she was at least more pleasing to his father than Xue Bin.

About that.

It's a pity that Yuan Suiyun sat next to him.

While Zuo Qinghou and Chu Liuxiang were fighting for wine, Shi Nian suddenly asked, "I heard that there have been a lot of merchants from Shanxi coming to the south of the Yangtze River recently, and Mr. Yuan's information should not be inferior even in Jiangnan, let alone It's someone from Shanxi, I don't know if Mr. Yuan knows their leader?"

Yuan Suiyun was slightly taken aback.

It was a question he couldn't say he didn't know.

Wuzheng Villa is located in Taiyuan, if there is a change there that does not reach his ears, how can it be worthy of the title of the first family of martial arts.

"I can't hide it from the girl of the time. These people are the merchants of Wuzheng Villa. It is normal for any business to travel north and south to expand business routes. Otherwise, I don't have to stay in Songjiang Mansion to sit in the town. It is to ensure that if any force offends People, I can get the news as soon as possible to deal with it.”

"No, Mr. Yuan, I think you have misunderstood me." Shi Nian poured himself a glass of wine slowly, and the confidence in her words made Yuan Suiyun suddenly have some bad premonitions.

"I just want to say that the route taken by Mr. Yuan's people is a bit detoured. Wouldn't it be better to go from Shanxi to Shandong, and go directly to Songjiang Mansion by sea? It happens that Shandong is my place. Since we want to do north-south business, it's better to have money." Earn together."

"I can still trust the reputation of Wuzheng Villa, not to mention taking the sea route so that you don't have to pass through checkpoints on the road again, and you don't have to worry about water bandits when you cross the Yangtze River waterway, don't you? After all, I heard from Senior Yun Conglong that, The merchants under Mr. Yuan’s sect seem to have no intention of seeking shelter from the Shenlong Gang.”

Yuan Suiyun couldn't see her face, but he could hear that she was extraordinarily calm.

If it were someone else, it would undoubtedly be an invitation that people couldn't refuse to cooperate with a force like Yedi's heir, who was extremely talented and even more intelligent.

But Suiyun is different.

The goods brought by his subordinates were not all for sale in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were some things hidden in them that could not be seen by others.

The deeper the cooperation with other forces, the more dangerous it would be for him, who now only wants to hide himself deeply in the darkness behind the scenes.

Damn, she was really hard to deal with.

But when he thought that if that person was attracted, she would soon be just a corpse that could no longer cause him trouble, Yuan Suiyun calmed down and replied calmly, "If that's the case, Wuzheng Villa is here The experience on HNA is a bit lacking, although I don't want to owe others, but I really need to be taken care of by Yedi's disciples."

In this sentence, he expressed his agreement to this cooperation, and explained why he made such a hesitant reaction.

I have to admire all the years, Yuan Suiyun is indeed a very smart person.

"Okay, talking about business at the dinner table is really something you young people with the highest ambition can do."

Zuo Qinghou interrupted their conversation by shaking his wine glass. He had a lot of toasts with others on weekdays, but these few glasses were far from making him feel intoxicated. With the ability of my niece Heshi, it is not impossible to open up the trade routes between the north and the south."

"In this way, there is no need to sell gold at sea. What is more coveted than the treasures of Wuzheng Villa and the unused things in Brother Zhu's treasury, and it just so happens that the birthday of the old lady Jin in Wanfu Wanshou Garden is coming soon. Now, there are many people in this world who want to have a relationship with her, as long as something is strange enough, someone will naturally be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."

Zuo Qinghou drank the wine in his glass, "A nice gimmick is enough to open up the situation."

What he said made Yuan Suiyun suspect that he was temporarily staying in the Throwing Cup Villa for a few days, and made this Zuo Erye, who seemed to be a top entertainer, discover something, but he The movement that followed was picking up the wine jar and pouring it down.

After Yuan Suiyun heard Zuo Qinghou's move, because compared with the sip of wine just now, the stamina of a whole pot is much stronger, amidst the music of singers around him, he started to sing Song with a little tongue It is a local ditty tune in Shanghai, and the singing is accompanied by the sound of musical instruments while beating the wine cup with chopsticks.

He was clearly the prodigal son of a man who was in the midst of drinking and ignored everything else.

He suddenly felt that it was very unreasonable for him to worry about whether Zuo Qinghou would spy on him.

But when he returned to the room, the anger of being calculated by others crept into his heart involuntarily.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to throw the teacup in his hand at the man in black kneeling on the ground, but he stopped suddenly, "You do two things for me."

"The first thing is to contact Ding Feng and tell him that although he didn't succeed this time, he did a good job. I won't blame him and give him a chance to make a contribution."

"Second, send me a letter and a person to the northwest, one—"

The corners of Yuan Suiyun's lips rose slightly.

"A person who is proficient in disguise."
