As soon as the time came, Yuzhang City in summer was still immersed in darkness, and a somewhat strong young man got up from the bed, opened the door lightly and walked out.

The courtyard was pitch black, there were a few stars hanging in the sky, the moon was still so white, by the moonlight, the boy walked to the corner of the yard, only to find that there were already a few teenagers busy there in the dark.

"Stone, you're the last to come!" a clear voice sounded.

"Second brother, you?" This strong young man is Shi Lei.

"You can't let the eldest brother carry everything, those of us who are brothers must be as strong as possible to help the eldest brother share some of it. Iron Bull said.

"That's right!" Zhou Kang was still so concise.

"Hmm!" Shi Lei nodded vigorously, the events of the night before yesterday had been recalling in his mind for the past two days, all because of his willfulness that his eldest brother suffered so many crimes. He wished that he was poisoned, at least he didn't have to feel so guilty. However, there are no ifs......

In the end, he figured out that he had to work hard to make himself stronger, only in this way could he better protect his eldest brother and brothers.

So, he thought about getting up early to exercise while everyone was still asleep, but he didn't expect that he was not the only one who had this idea.

"Okay, don't stand stupidly, start exercising, and go out for a run later!" Lu Hao said.

So, starting today, the fishermen who get up early to work on the edge of the East Lake will see a few teenagers running around the East Lake in the faint morning light every day. At first it was a few, then a dozen, dozens of them, rain or shine. Gradually, this running dragon has become a unique scenery every morning, and it is integrated with the beautiful East Lake.

Early in the morning, the sun rose, Xu Chen walked out of the room, Xu Chen's room is also a room for five people, it can be regarded as leading by example, living with his four sworn brothers, this is also the basic configuration of the Five Elements Great Array. In order to create a strong army, Xu Chen can only start from now, starting with these dozens of teenagers, building the shelves first, and then slowly expanding them later.

When I came to the yard, I was ready to start my morning workout, doing dozens of push-ups first, and then coming to the single parallel bars to start the exercise. These single and parallel bars were all built by Xu Chen with bamboo by a carpenter, and there was no technical content, and the carpenters only listened to it once and made it. At the beginning, the teenagers didn't understand the use of these things, but after Xu Chen demonstrated it, everyone found that these strange-looking things had a good effect on the body. As a result, the enthusiasm of the crowd increased, but in this way, the service life of these single and parallel bars was too short! No matter how thick the bamboo was, it could not withstand the ravages of this group of teenagers. So, basically, the carpenters come every few days.

At this time, there were already many teenagers exercising in the yard, looking at the squeaky bamboo, Xu Chen thought to himself, "It seems that in two days, let's let the blacksmith come here." ”

Xu Chen didn't get up late today, but there was no one in the house for a long time, and even the little stone that usually likes to sleep lazily was gone, and after coming out and asking a few teenagers, he learned that these guys got up before dawn, and after completing the indoor workout in the yard, they ran out and started their morning run around East Lake.

Xu Chen was a little relieved, this group of teenagers had finally begun to grow up, Xu Chen didn't plan to tell them that their own poison had been cured, and it was good that there was something that inspired them to move forward. Besides, I can't let Old Man Chai know about the fact that I have been detoxified for the time being, otherwise it will be dangerous.

"Childe. Chai Qi walked out of the room and happened to see Xu Chen.

"Oh, it's Brother Chai!"

Xu Chen and Chai Qi chatted for a long time yesterday, and Chai Qi told all the things about the Lu family. It turned out that the Lu family was going to deal with the local clan of Yuzhang this time, the Wan family. In one night, Xu Chen couldn't have a clear plan, so he had to watch while walking, anyway, the battle between the two families was still in the dark, and it was still as calm as water on the surface. This also gave Xu Chen time, let's let myself grow stronger first, Xu Chen thought in his heart.

"Brother Chai, today you will go to Changshan Island to go for a walk, to explain to the big boss and the third boss that you were abandoned by the master's family and killed by others, and then put the death of the second master on the head of the Lu family, they don't believe that you are sure, but the second master can leave others behind and come to Yuzhang City to eat alone, which shows that there is also a deep dispute between these masters, plus your kung fu, there is still no need to worry about safety. You go and tell the big boss that I will go to the island myself to visit him in a while. Xu Chen said, this is Xu Chen's style of acting, thinking about his own invincibility first, and treating the enemy as invincible.

No matter what you do, you must first ensure the safety of yourself and your subordinates, which also makes Chai Qi convinced, the main family in front of him is much more reliable than the original.

"Oh, that's right, you're already a dead person in the eyes of the Lu family now, it's not appropriate for you to run around the streets like this!" Xu Chen suddenly remembered something.

"Please rest assured that Chai Qi still knows some disguised methods, as long as he is not the closest person, he can't find out, and Chai Qi's closest person is only the master. Chai Qi said in a slightly low voice.

"That's good!" Xu Chen didn't seem to hear the disrespect in his words.

"I'll go to the hotel later, get some money to prepare your prescription for physical training, you have to pay attention to this matter, and you will help train this group of teenagers in terms of physical training and fist and foot kung fu." Xu Chen continued.

"Don't worry, Childe! Chai Qi knows!"

"Hmm. ”

……

"Master Xu, go slowly, come back next time!" At the door of Ganshui Yu's house, a young man dressed as a guy said respectfully to a middle-aged man dressed in a cloth shirt who looked similar to the Lifu in the workshop.

Xu Chen happened to come from home, seeing this scene, he was satisfied with the politeness of this guy, it seems that the shopkeeper Wang is training well, this guy did not show a snobbish look because the other party is poor, this alone is stronger than other hotels.

Just as he was about to go up and praise him, he happened to see the "poor" middle-aged man stop in front of the couplet he wrote at the door of the store and watch it, and even praised him twice, saying: "Good words! Good writing!"

After speaking, he walked slowly on the clogs.

"Could it be that this guy is still a scholar, it seems that he has also made the mistake of judging people by their appearance!" Xu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly.

When he came to the door of the store, the guy saw it and hurriedly came up.

"Hello big boss!"

Xu Chen suddenly became interested, and asked casually, "What was the name of that guest officer just now, and what did he do?"

But I didn't expect that this guy really answered, and said: "If you go back to the big boss, this guest official's surname is Xu Mingfan, and he is a doctor of literature in our Yuzhang County, but he is a famous literati in the city, a great Confucian!"

"Oh, you're very attentive, you inquire so clearly!" Xu Chen praised the guy.

"No, this guest officer Xu has come to our store every few days these days, and every time he comes, he will ask for a few special dishes, a pot of wine, and sit in the corner by the window, and sit for several hours. So they came and went. ”

"Oh?" This Xu Fan, as a doctor of literature, is also a scholar from the official under the eighth grade, and he is still a famous person in Yuzhang City when he listens to Xiao Er, so why do he often come to his own small shop? Xu Chen thought for a while, and had no clue.

"Forget it, don't think about it, maybe people just like the novel environment here, nothing special, it seems that I have encountered too many things these days, and everyone I see is suspicious. Xu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But this Xu Fan can have a good conversation with Xiao Er, he shouldn't be a difficult guy, forget it, let him go!" Xu Chen thought to himself, and was about to enter the door, but he heard that Xiao Er was still chattering there.

"Dongjia, you don't know! When this Xu guest officer came for the first time, the old man who came with him was a great man in our Yuzhang City!"

"Oh, who is it?" Xu Chen was a little more interested.

"That old man is a big family in the city, the head of the Huang family, that old man Huang's outfit, even if he works hard for a lifetime, he can't buy it. This Master Huang is a big man who can get along with Lord Taishou's peers! However, even such a big man has to call this Xu Keguan 'Brother Xu', which shows how great this Xu Keguan is!" And he can talk to such a great character for so long, and the young man has consciously become a character.

"Hehe, it's just a piece of clothing, do a good job! Xu Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you for cultivating!" The young man is also a clever person and knows what Xu Chen means by this.

Xu Chen ignored the excited young man, walked into the store, came to the front desk, and happened to see the shopkeeper Wang busy.

"Uncle Wang, are you busy?" asked Xu Chen.

"Oh, it's the big boss!" the shopkeeper raised his head when he heard a familiar voice.

"Uncle Wang, sort out the account books in the store recently, and bring them to me later, I'll wait for you upstairs." After speaking, Xu Chen went upstairs.

Coming to the attic on the top floor, after waiting for a while, the shopkeeper Wang walked in with a stack of ledgers.

Xu Chen took the ledger and looked through it carefully.

"Uncle Wang, how is the business in the store lately?" asked Xu Chen.

"Very good, not long ago, Chef Luo's new dishes have been selling well these days, and the reputation of our hotel in Yuzhang City has also spread out, and there are quite a lot of guests these days, but in this way, the seats in the store are not enough. The shopkeeper lowered his head and said.

"Well, our hotel is famous, on the grade, you want to take the high-end route, there is nothing wrong, all for the hotel! But the original positioning of our hotel is these fishermen and lifu who eat some light meals, give them an affordable place to eat, you push them out now, it is against our original intention, and it will also make the villagers in the workshop say that we forget our roots. Xu Chen said slowly.

"Then if that's the case, the seats in the store are really a little insufficient, but there is a building in the old decay, why don't we go to the new city to open a branch, here this one still takes the original way, the branch in the new city will take the high-end route, what do you say?" Wang put forward his opinion.

"Hehe, since that's the case, let's do it according to Uncle Wang's wishes, and Uncle Wang will take care of the affairs of the Xincheng branch. Xu Chen didn't say anything, his subordinates had some ambitions, and he didn't care. It is a good thing to have desires, and subordinates with desires will have the motivation to expand.
