[Comprehensive] Host, welcome

Huang Rong was very curious about the current situation of Lujiazhuang and Lu Zhanyuan, and excitedly dragged Yang Kang to inquire about the news.

After that day, Lujiazhuang's reputation plummeted.Doing business with an ungrateful next-generation family member who doesn’t keep promises and a current head member who doesn’t know what’s right and who only knows how to protect his son is tantamount to walking a tightrope on a cliff.Therefore, all major commercial firms have drawn a clear relationship with them, suppliers are not willing to supply again, and buyers would rather go to a place farther away than sign an order with them.

Among Huang Yaoshi's several apprentices, the best one was Lu Chengfeng, the owner of Taihu Lujiazhuang.After Huang Rong wrote to him, he not only united with major merchants to isolate Jiaxing Lujiazhuang, but also secretly used means to seize a lot of their property.There is also Qu Lingfeng, who always only steals treasures from the palaces of Song and Jin, but this time he condescends to go to Lujiazhuang, and steals some things that he doesn't even care about in the secret room.Feng Mofeng likes to be lively and doesn't think it's a big deal. He has re-polished the matter of Lu Zhanyuan, lightly described the matter of Li Mochou, but emphasized how Lu Zhanyuan is a deceitful, gentle scum, romantic, and He also frequents various brothels frequently, and has many unknown secrets with the oiran.Then Feng Mofeng submitted the article to the Beggars' Gang. After being passed on by the Beggars' Gang, there have been more than a dozen versions of this matter circulated in the market, and it was not an eyewitness that added fuel to the fire.

Those who were friendly with Master Yideng or those who were unwilling to offend Huang Yaoshi stayed away even more, and the original diners of Lu Family Manor also left and scattered.Master Lu vomited blood angrily, and ran around trying to save the reputation of Lujiazhuang, but unfortunately Lujiazhuang has become like a sunset in the west, he can only watch the shops close down one by one, and the property continues to shrink.

And the culprit, Lu Zhanyuan, was popular everywhere as a young talent in the early years, but now he has become a street rat. His psychological gap is too big, so he stays behind closed doors, drinks constantly to anesthetize himself, and is completely useless.

Yang Kang nodded the table, "Looking at the current situation, the Lu Family Manor can't last long. If the owner of the Lu Manor is smart, he should immediately sell his property and keep some money on him. Otherwise, the family will go bankrupt and will only be reduced to the streets. .”

"It deserves it!" Huang Rong curled her lips, "If it weren't for us, Sister Mo Chou wouldn't know how they bullied her! Lu Zhanyuan did something wrong, so it's not surprising that he ended up like this, it's called self-inflicted evil."

On March 24, Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi were the first to arrive at Zuixian Tower.When they saw Huang Yaoshi, their expressions were astonished, and they didn't know why he came here.However, Huang Yaoshi has always been surly and secretive, so they can only be careful in the dark, in case he is planning any conspiracy in the dark.

At noon, the Jiangnan Seven Monsters and other talents came slowly.

The first one was a blind man in ragged clothes, about 60 years old, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, with a ferocious expression on his face, holding a thick iron rod in his right hand.He is the boss of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, Ke Zhen'e.

Qiu Chuji immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted him, "It's been 18 years, Brother Ke, you will be safe here."

Ke Zhen'e also had a smile on his face, followed the voice and looked over, but said: "Daoist Qiu is indeed on time, I'm afraid you won't come!"

Following him was a fat man Han Baoju who was no more than three feet tall, his body was so thick that his neck could hardly be seen, he poked his head and shouted: "Qiu Dao has such a great handwriting that he even managed to take down Zuixianlou. Speaking of which, I haven't had any good food from Zuixianlou in 18 years, and today we guys will not go home if we are not drunk!"

Zhu Cong took a tattered and dirty oil-paper fan, fanned it, and walked up shaking his head, "Third brother, don't always think about eating, today's purpose is not for us to reminisce about the past, but for Jing Er and Yang Kang. Competition."

Yang Kang and Huang Rong kept focusing on their backs, wanting to know what kind of person Guo Jing was.When they saw a slender woman, their hearts immediately rose.If you look closely, although the woman is pretty, she is about 35 years old. If you think about it carefully, she should be the only female Han Xiaoying among the seven monsters in the south of the Yangtze River.The hearts of the two were put back again, and a lot of cold sweat was already breaking out in the palms of their hands.

"Jing'er, hurry up!" Han Xiaoying suddenly shouted behind her.

"Here we come, Seventh Master."

The voice was deep and thick, clearly the voice of a young man.Huang Rong gushed out a surge of joy from the bottom of her heart, and made a face at Yang Kang, who also raised the corners of her mouth.

The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked stupid. Qiu Chuji looked at him excitedly, "Is this Guo Jing?"

Guo Jinghan smiled and lowered his head, "I have seen Daoist Qiu."

"Okay, okay!" Qiu Chuji laughed loudly, "Sure enough, he has the demeanor of being a father!" Then he saluted Ke Zhen'e and the others, "Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to find him, Qiu is very grateful, and finally he can He has an account for his dead father."

Ke Zhen'e raised his chin and said, "Saving the orphans and widows is what chivalry should do. Since we Jiangnan Seven Monsters have promised you, we will naturally do what we say. But what about Yang Kang? Did the priest find him?"

At this time, Zhu Cong had carefully observed the scene on the second floor.Sitting on the left are two Taoist priests. Judging by their age, they should be Qiu Chuji's seniors.But the person on the right is more strange, a middle-aged man in green robe and long robe beside the window is playing chess with a benevolent old monk.There was another beautiful woman about the same age as Han Xiaoying, holding a sleeping baby in her arms, watching the chess game between the two.They were all doing their own things, as if they didn't notice their arrival.Only the handsome boy and the pretty girl standing beside the monk were looking at Guo Jing with a smile.I just don't know which of these two young people is Yang Kang.

Qiu Daochang waved to Yang Kang, "Kang'er, come here, let me introduce you, these are the Seven Heroes of the South of the Yangtze River, and they are the ones who helped me find Guo Jing."

Yang Kang nodded, and bowed to Ke Zhen'e and the others, "I have long heard that the Seven Heroes are heroes who fight for righteousness. When I saw them today, they are really extraordinary. Yang Kang thanked the Seven Heroes here for their support of my Yang and Guo families." I have worked so hard to do this, and I am very grateful that I will remember it in my heart."

Ke Zhen'e and the others felt satisfied when they heard this, and smiled unconsciously, sighing in their hearts that this Yang Kang is a clever boy, how could a foolish boy like Guo Jing say such a thing, as long as they don't make them angry.

"You are Yang Kang?" Guo Jing's voice was a little excited.

Yang Kang took out a dagger with a green leather sheath and golden ebony mouth from his bosom, and handed it to him. Guo Jing also quickly took out an identical dagger from his bosom. The two looked at the dagger on the hilt. The engraved name confirmed the identity of the other party.

Guo Jing: "Brother Kang."

Yang Kang: "Brother Jing."

Qiu Chuji walked over and patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said emotionally: "I gave you these two daggers back then. I never thought that you would still have a chance to meet again after going through many hardships. From now on, you two brothers should support each other, Continue to pass on the friendship between the Yang family and the Guo family."

Ke Zhen'e said: "Okay, this is the future of their brothers. Why don't we get down to business first, when will we let them compete?"

Qiu Chuji was stunned, and his voice dropped when he spoke again, "Before they compete in martial arts, there is one thing that brother Ke needs to know. I did not accept Yang Kang as an apprentice, nor did I pass on martial arts to him."

Ke Zhen'e frowned, "What's going on? Could it be that Yang Kang doesn't know martial arts?"

Zhang Asheng said: "The agreement at the time was to teach martial arts to them after finding them, and then compete today. Even if Yang Kang doesn't know martial arts, the competition should still be compared, but if Taoist Qiu can admit defeat now, their competition will be forgotten."

Qiu Chuji didn't expect the Seven Devils of the South of the Yangtze River to be so aggressive, and felt even more guilty, "Kang'er is not good at martial arts. I have been looking for Kang'er's whereabouts since I parted from you, and I have been searching for ten years. It turns out that Mrs. Yang died of dystocia. , and the newly born Kanger was brought back to Dali by Master Yideng and accepted as a direct disciple. Speaking of this matter, the poor Taoist is really wrong."

The fact that Yang Kang is a direct disciple of Master Yideng has long been spread in the Jianghu, but the Jiangnan Seven Monsters stayed in Dali for 18 years because of Guo Jing, and they have already lost touch with the Jianghu, so they don't know about it.Although the Jiangnan Seven Monsters are chivalrous and righteous, they are all arrogant and arrogant. Originally, the seven of them were defeated by Qiu Chuji alone 18 years ago, and they were in an extremely embarrassing mood.Because of this, they had to defeat Qiu Chuji to express their anger.Only then did the 18-year bet on Zuixianlou come about.They worked tirelessly to go to the desert to eat the wind and sand. Guo Jing's temperament is not suitable for martial arts training, but they still put a lot of effort into teaching him. Why?Isn't it just to defeat Qiu Chuji in the end?As a result, they have wasted so much time and energy in vain.Who is Master Yideng?Nan Di, one of the five masters, is unique in martial arts and Yang Zhi. Yang Kang learned martial arts from him, which is many times better than learning martial arts from Qiu Chuji.Even though Ke Zhen'e was blind, he could guess in his heart that Yang Kang was a smart person. Maybe Guo Jing could learn martial arts in half a month, but he only needed one day.In other words, they were doomed.

The more Ke Zhen'e thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He slammed his iron stick on the ground, and said with a sneer, "Qiu Daochang is tyrannizing the world with his sword. How can we dare to accept your apology? We can only say that we My brother is stupid, he was played around by others, and he stayed in the desert for 18 years because of an agreement that others didn't take seriously."
