Yan Qing left her friends in Liangshan and came to Hangzhou alone.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is normal but it rains all night, it still drizzles non-stop, the weeping willows that are washed are green like green, the pear blossoms are snow-white and new, the city of Hangzhou in late spring is the season of "Hangzhou is everywhere flying flowers".

Outside Hangzhou, a small inn, Yan Qing stayed last night, slept all night, finished washing, simply ate breakfast, borrowed an umbrella from the store, and walked out of the inn

Outside the inn, the drizzle continues, when the downstream spring season, ordinary people, talented and beautiful people, dignitaries and nobles, still like it, go on a spring outing, so lively.

Yan Qing stood at the door of the inn, looked at the bustling crowd, smiled faintly, and walked towards a small lake in front of him.

On the surface of the lake, the sparkling scales, the canopy cruises, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra on the boat continues, the talented and beautiful women, the piano and the flute, the wind and the moon, and the expression of the youth. From time to time, there was the sound of laughter from inside the boat.

Yan Qing looked at it for a while, turned around and returned to the inn again, because there was no meal, the inn was very quiet, Yan Qing sat down at a table, the shopkeeper hurriedly made tea, Yan Qing took a sip, and asked the shopkeeper: "There is a quiet place to live here," the shopkeeper is a local, and the location of this place is very clear, the shopkeeper replied: "On the opposite side of the lake outside the store, there is a vacant lot, but it is far away from the bustling area, few people live there, but it is very clean, if the guest officer is interested, you can go and see," Yan Qing listened to the words of the shopkeeper, I was very happy, gave the shopkeeper one or two lines of silver, got up and went out.

Yan Qing came to the location guided by the shopkeeper, a vacant, about five miles away, there is a faint mountain, although it is not majestic, but it is also a heavy peak, the grass under the feet is green, and the trees in the distance are green; Facing the beautiful little lake, it is really a place to relax. Yan Qing decided to buy this piece of land and build a manor here, but now she doesn't have enough silver taels.

On the way back to the inn, Yan Qing thought about how to make money, but she would only be the same, martial arts, although she followed Lu Daguan back then, she didn't know anything about doing business, and finally decided to make a fuss about martial arts and go to the dart store to be a bodyguard? Caring for a home for the rich? Busking? In the end, Yan Qing, finally, thought of a way to make money, a martial arts competition.

When he arrived at the inn, Yan Qing asked the shopkeeper: "In this place in Hangzhou, how can there be a martial arts competition," the shopkeeper looked at Yan Qing strangely and replied: "More than 20 miles away from here, there is a big restaurant, called "Juying Building", where every month, there is a martial arts competition, I heard that when the winner is the most, he can earn more than 100 taels of silver," Yan Qing listened to the introduction of the shopkeeper, and was secretly happy in his heart, and then ordered food and wine, and went upstairs to rest.

In the past few years, Yan Qing has been in Hangzhou and the surrounding areas every month, there is a martial arts competition, Yan Qing will not lose the field, every time he fights, he is masked, and he uses the fake name of "Li Qing", this year, I heard that there is a place in Guangdong, the competition will be held, and every time he is promoted, the reward of the fight will be increased, Yan Qing found someone to ask for the letter, and went to Guangdong the next day.

When I arrived in Guangdong, I learned that the fight here is not only upgraded, but also bet on the two sides to win or lose, the highest odds can be ten times, the competition is secondary, betting on winning or losing is the real purpose, Yan Qing came to the martial arts field, watched a few games, and basically understood the rules of the competition.

On this afternoon, Yan Qing took four silver tickets, a total of two thousand taels, this is all Yan Qing's savings in the past few years, came to the martial arts arena, today's champion, is yesterday's winner, the bounty has risen to five thousand taels, and there are fewer and fewer people on the field, all of them are watching below, waiting, to see if there is anyone who dares to fight again. As time passed, people seemed to be waiting a little impatiently. The crowd began to stir a little.

Yan Qing looked at it, it was time, took out a white silk scarf from his arms, covered his face halfway, and only exposed his eyes and upper parts, and then walked into the registration office of the competition, there were five people in the registration office, four were dressed as bodyguards, all with swords, standing behind the registration desk, two people at the door, and one person, dressed in the account room, sitting in front of the registration desk, Yan Qing walked to the registration office, and said to the registration office: "I want to go on stage to fight," the account room raised his head, looking like a nearly thirty-year-old boy, thin body, because of the mask, he couldn't see his face clearly, But it's not like a martial artist at all.

"Are you going to fight," asked the bookkeeper,

"Yes," Yan Qing replied,

"Do you know the rules of the competition?" The bookkeeper asked again,

"Yes," replied,

"He who wants to sign a life and death certificate," he added

"Know" answer,

"You Can Do It"

"Hmm"

The account room held a skeptical eye, and registered it to Yan Qing and said: "You can prepare it" "Wait, it's not over yet, is it possible to bet on winning or losing", Yan Qing continued to ask" "Yes", the account machine replied, "I want to bet on myself to win, the odds are ten times" After speaking, Yan Qing took out the silver ticket and handed it to the account room, and the account room looked at it, the silver ticket of two thousand taels, his eyes were straight, and he hurriedly said, "Zhuangman, you wait first, I'll go to the owner," After speaking, he hurriedly walked to the back, and after a while, he saw three people walking in, and the one who walked in front looked at the person who practiced martial arts, with big shoulders and round waist, wearing a black big coat, with a sword hanging from his waist, followed by a woman, also short clothes, wearing a red coat, and also hanging a sword from his waist

"Is this brother going to fight on stage, and he has to bet ten times the odds of two thousand taels?" The person walking in front looked at Yan Qing and asked, Yan Qing glanced at the person who came and said, "Are you the owner here?" "Yes", the man replied, "Now I can register, can I buy a gambling contract" "Yes, aren't you afraid of losing all your money" "Not afraid", Yan Qing smiled and said, the woman in the back walked to the front and said to Yan Qing: You have to sign a life and death certificate in the fight, you are not afraid of throwing your life here," Yan Qing smiled again and said: "Life is a gamble, just a big bet and a small bet, today the bet is big, if you really lose, that is fate, you can only admit it," "The people on the stage have won nine games in a row, and if they win again, the bounty will be upgraded to 10,000 taels, and most people are very optimistic about the champion on the stage." Yan Qing smiled again, didn't speak, and when the people saw that Yan Qing was indifferent, they asked the account room to register, collected the silver ticket, and then said to Yan Qing: "You have half an hour to prepare, and when you are ready, you can go on stage to fight" Yan Qing nodded, walked out of the registration office, went to the back rest room, took off her coat, revealed the white tight clothes inside, and waited for the notice on stage

In the ring, the principal announced that the competition would start in half an hour, and the winner of today's competition could get a reward of 10,000 silver. The words are not finished yet, the odds have increased to fifteen times today, and you can buy it now," everyone under the ring walked to the registration office one after another to buy a gambling contract, and it should be said that the basic purchase is the winner of the championship.

"The hour has come, the competition begins!" The principal in the ring announced, and as soon as the words fell, the originally noisy crowd was instantly silent, and everyone's eyes were gathered on the ring.

The principal retreated, and the champion came to the stage first, and then, seeing Yan Qing slowly coming to the stage, dressed in a white tight suit, with a white silk scarf on her face, and only two eyes exposed, the audience looked at it, and there was a trace of waves, "Who is this person?" Why are you still masked? ”

"Boom!" A gong and drum sounded, and the principal of "the first game began" announced,

The enthusiasm of the audience was once high, "The champion will win!" "Victory!" Especially the people who buy the winner shout more fiercely.

"Since you dare to come to power, you are definitely not mortal!" A person in his forties said that the person next to him was not happy: "Will you win if you dare to go on stage?" Do you think that 10,000 taels is so easy to win? The person who spoke before didn't answer, just smiled

At this time, the competition in the ring has officially begun.

Seeing Yan Qing's silk scarf masked, the champion smiled slightly, "Don't the strong men dare to take off the veil?" Yan Qing didn't speak, just looked down, turned her head and looked at the champion again.

The champion shook his head, and in his opinion, this game was a foregone conclusion, "That's it, offended!" Before the words landed, the figure had suddenly rushed up, and his right hand hit Yan Qing's face door, Thinking of grabbing Yan Qing's veil scarf with his hand, this straightforward move was in a hurry to perform, Yan Qing's figure dodged slightly, changed positions, and still stood there. The first move of the champion missed, and he immediately changed his form to attack again, Yan Qing flashed several times in a row, but he dodged the attack of the champion, the champion was a little anxious, and the audience couldn't understand it, why didn't he make a move?

Behind the ring, the owner was also observing, "Little sister, what do you think of this masked man," "I can't see clearly, I've taken ten moves, and I haven't fought back, this is not stable, it's not that simple, maybe there will be strange moves later." ”

On the stage, the champion suddenly changed his moves, a whirlwind leg, kicked out at Yan Qing, Yan Qing dodged as usual, the champion made a good move, the mandarin duck feet, and the audience cheered, because the champion won nine games, seven of which were won with this move, the foot wind just arrived, close to the face door, I saw Yan Qing's body turn sharply to the right, let go of his feet, the waist of the champion has been exposed in front of Yan Qing's eyes, Yan Qing kicked on the side, "Peng", the whole body of the champion flew up, fell under the ring, the champion lay on the ground, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, turned over hard, and wanted to stand up, The hand just supported hard, the pain of the heart, the owner knew that his arm was broken, and then he felt that his waist was also extremely painful, and his whole body was like falling apart, and he was weak and lying down.

The audience in the audience, before they figured out what was going on, the competition was over, most people didn't know how the winner of the nine games fell from the ring, the audience who saw Yan Qing's kick, cheered excitedly, "It's too fast", the audience who bet on the main win, opened their mouths, couldn't speak, today the bet was too big, and they spit out the silver won in nine games, and they all spit it out at once, depressed, frustrated, and heartbroken, it doesn't seem to be ......

The principal announced at this time that Yan Qing had won, and congratulated Yan Qing with his fists, Yan Qing returned the salute and walked towards the registration office.

At the registration office, the pair of brothers and sisters were already there, seeing Yan Qing coming in, he motioned for the others to go out, and then, the man smiled and said: "Congratulations to the strong man for winning, this is a silver ticket You won 20,000 taels of betting, a bounty of 10,000 taels, and a principal of 2,000 taels, a total of 32,000 taels," Yan Qing was stunned after hearing this, and the man smiled and said: When you played today, you increased today's bounty, so, strong man, you won 30,000 taels today, Yan Qing took the silver ticket, hugged his fists and thanked him, "My name is Pang Biao, this is my little sister Pang Hui, a strong man is very skilled, are you interested in sitting here, The owner said, Yan Qing shook his head and said: "No, there are still things at home, because I am waiting for the money, I made this decision, this time thank the landlord for his help," Yan Qing thanked him again, and said: "When the family is done, I will definitely come again, and then I will ask the landlord to take care of me," "In the future, the strong man will come to Guangdong again, and if there is something that needs my help, even if he comes to me, when I am not there, I can also find Ling Mei," the owner said again, Yan Qing saw that the brother and sister were very real, and they really wanted to make friends with themselves, pondered for a while, and then took off the veil and said: "My name is Li Qing, Home in Hangzhou, no other livelihood, martial arts for a living, "the brother and sister looked at it, stunned, Yan Qing is extremely handsome, in the crowd, should be a beautiful person, wrapped in plain clothes, especially the unfathomable kung fu, if you walk in the crowd, I don't know how many people's eyes, Yan Qing said: "I want to go home and buy a piece of land, build a house, the location is set in the western suburbs of Hangzhou, and when it is completed, I must invite your brother and sister to come over, and then I will be hospitable, if there is nothing else, I will leave first," the brother and sister want to stay, Knowing that he couldn't keep it, he could only say goodbye to Yan Qing and leave, looking at Yan Qing's back, my sister said: "This person is handsome and chic, and his martial arts are unfathomable, in the future, he must find another opportunity to make friends, today he took off the veil, and he already has a good impression of my brother and sister, and the matter of friendship can only wait for fate." Pang Biao nodded, not speaking.

Yan Qing returned to Hangzhou, and with 30,000 taels of silver, Yan Qing bought land to build a manor, and it took two years to build it.

The manor was built, at this time, the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin State, the Song Dynasty had shown defeat, Yan Qing took Li Shishi to the manor, and was afraid of Li Shishi, staying lonely in the manor, and found a reliable woman, let her follow the teacher, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and see if she can return to the old business in the future.

After listening to what Yan Qing said, Li Ying looked at Yan Qing and smiled, "Master Li is where you are?" "Well," Yan Qing nodded, "It is rumored that Master Li was taken away by the Jin people, and some said that he died, and some said that he had regained his old business elsewhere, Brother Xiaoyi, you are really affectionate and righteous, it should be Miss Li's blessing, my brother is having a worry here, after listening to Brother Xiaoyi's words, my brother will not be worried," Yan Qing asked in confusion: "What happened to my brother?" As long as the younger brother can help, he will not hesitate," Li Ying said with a smile: "Some time ago, Du Xing and the two of us discussed, on the edge of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, bought a restaurant, and have not had time to take care of it, in fact, it is not that there is no time, but I didn't find the right person, I don't know how to operate, I just heard Brother Xiaoyi say, with Miss Li, if Miss Li is willing, you can invite Miss Li to come over, live in Dulong Fort, Qinhuai River Restaurant operates, everything is decided by Miss Li, if Miss Li is not at ease, you can give the restaurant to Miss Li, I only need to share the profits, and my brother has a small condition, that is, I want Brother Xiao Yi to be the head of Dulong Castle, responsible for training manpower, the business has expanded, and there must be competent people everywhere, and now there are very few people who can stand alone," Yan Qing listened, pondered for a while and said: "I want to go back and discuss this matter with Senior Sister, and if the discussion is completed, I will report back to my brother immediately," Li Ying said after hearing this: "Okay, just do what Brother Xiao Yi said!" After speaking, let people bring Hongshan, together with the butterfly jade pendant to Yan Qing, and let people prepare a fast horse and dry food, Yan Qing said: "Brother, don't delay, I'll go back quickly, and I'll drink the wine when I come back," Yan Qing hugged Li Ying and Du Xing respectively, took Hongshan, went out of Dulong Fort, and returned to Yanshan Villa.
