Today, the sky was bright, and Li Fu, who had gotten up early in the morning, was in the garden and summoned all the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion to a 'meeting'. As soon as everyone came, it was clear that at this time, behind the chief butler Li Fu, there were two large bamboo baskets, which were full of gold and silver ingots.

At this time, the smile on Li Fu's face looked a little strange, and after he looked at everyone carefully, he said slowly:

"As for you people, I personally recruited them to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Some of you are domestic slaves who have signed a deed of sale; Some people are helpers who come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to work part-time; There are still many people, who were originally the sons and nephews of Dongyou's hometown, today, Uncle Fu will not be careful, you have been in the Xiangfu for ten years, or only for one day, today they are all treated equally......"

Speaking of this, Li Fu took out a stack of thick documents from his arms, held them up and shook them in front of those subordinates for a few moments, and then he secretly attracted a mouthful of dantian true power, and the palm of his luck shook the stack of documents to pieces! This time, it is the first time that Li Fu has shown his true kung fu in front of these subordinates!

"In those documents just now, there are your deeds of sale, as well as the work contract you signed, and the IOU of your advance payment, all of which are not counted! Today, our Prime Minister's Mansion wants to dismiss all slaves and maidservants and subordinates! Of course, before you leave, the Prime Minister will still have a reward...... See no, one ingot of gold and one ingot of silver per person, all of which are ingots of twenty taels in full, and the right is your severance pay! Now, go back and pack up your tenderness, and come back to me when you have received the money, and go home.

After Li Fu finished speaking, he looked at those subordinates with a smile on their faces, and clapped his hands again:

"Don't be stunned, go back and pack your things! Now that the silver trumpets are closed, if they are not enough, I have no place to make up for them! ”

Hearing Li Fu's words, those subordinates woke up like a dream, and they didn't bother to ask a clear question, so they habitually obeyed the order of the chief butler and went back to pack their things.

It didn't take long for the men and women to disperse. Li Fu casually put the two empty bamboo baskets in front of the door, and walked to the backyard kitchen in four directions.

"It's so fragrant, Master Song, is breakfast ready?"

Still far away from the kitchen, Li Fu smelled a strong aroma of rice; And Song Xingzhou also poked his head out from behind the air window when he heard this, and returned angrily:

"You dismissed all your subordinates, and now it's all up to me to cook and fry, how can it be so fast? If you're in a hurry, butler, it's easy to do it, so come in and help, maybe you still have time to drink a sip of hot porridge......"

At the same time, Li Deng had just pushed Wan Changning out of the wing. The master and apprentice sat at a stone table in the garden, and admired a few hibiscus flowers that had just bloomed; And Li Le'an, who had finished washing, also walked out of her boudoir. Today's eldest lady of the Li family is neither wearing the Luo skirt favored by ordinary women, nor the Langzhong dress that Lin Siwei sewed for her; Instead, he changed into a tight and neat coarse cloth short coat, and he also wore an ordinary long sword with a gorgeous appearance at his waist!

Of course, Li Deng and Wan Changning knew what kind of small calculations she was playing in her heart, and they also knew that her skills were all fancy fists and embroidered legs. Just looking at her energetic appearance, it is really not good to discourage people's 'enthusiasm', so I can only forcibly hold back my smile and stop looking at her......

Everyone finished a light breakfast in this garden, and after Master Song had just put away the dishes and chopsticks, Shan Qingquan rushed back to the prime minister's mansion in a hurry.

"Prime Minister, I'm back! There were four spies at the end of the streets; Among those who were dismissed, there were also more than a dozen eyeliners sent by various parties...... It's all cleaned up. ”

When Li Deng heard this, his eyes became a little gloomy. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and patted Shan Qingquan on the shoulder:

"It's hard work, let's go to the kitchen first, Master Song left some white porridge for you, don't go hungry......"

Shan Qingquan, who was full of food and drink, didn't want to sit in the courtyard with Li Deng and them to enjoy the flowers and read books, so he held a cigarette pouch and sat on a bench by the gate to rest.

Unexpectedly, he squinted his eyes and took two puffs of cigarette, and there were countless sounds of deliberately low-down, slightly broken footsteps around the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shan Qingquan sighed, took the cigarette pouch in his hand, knocked out the fire on the wall next to the gatehouse, and put it on the windowsill casually; Immediately afterwards, Shan Qingquan stood up, turned around and moved his waist and legs, his right hand shook slightly, and he pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and stood outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a big grin......

At the same time, Li Fu, who was helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen, also shook off the water stains on his hands, turned around and touched an iron hook from the ground to the stove, and walked out of the kitchen......

"Boss Shan! I haven't seen you in years, but how are you doing? ”

With the slightly yin and yang strange greeting voice, an old official with white hair appeared tremblingly at the west exit of the alley of the Prime Minister's Mansion. While greeting Shan Qingquan, who was standing with a sword, he also reached out and untied a pair of strange-looking claw-shaped blades from his waist scarf.

The strange blade in the old man's hand was mainly a tough and soft golden wire rope, and two iron claws made of pig iron were tied to the two ends of the rope. These two iron claws are like the claws of a goshawk, and all four fingertips are free to move; If a layman guesses from the appearance alone, he must think that this is a strange door blade that is good at grappling and parrying.

But Shan Qingquan is a knowledgeable person, he only took a brief look, and he already saw a general idea: this kind of blade is not a strange blade, but a serious eighteen inner family eighteen blades - flying grab!

Flying to grasp this kind of internal blade, not only the shape is quite weird, but if there is no special body and footwork to match, even if it is just taken out to play, it is very easy to hurt itself; Even if you have the guidance of a famous teacher and have not worked hard for more than 30 years, you will never be able to use it to meet the enemy!

After the old internal official got closer, Shan Qingquan carefully looked at the other party's facial features, and his face changed suddenly:

"You...... Are you the old internal official ...... I fought with back then? ”

That's right, the person who came was one of the ancestors of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the 'co-founder' of the forage house, and Lu Xiangyin's old buddy, Niu Zhang! When he entered Beijing with Li Deng, Shan Qingquan, who was still young and vigorous, once visited the palace at night with a martial arts, wanting to see what the emperor Lao Er of Youbei looked like. Unexpectedly, he had just climbed into the palace wall, and was blocked in the corner by an old eunuch with gray hair. When the two made a mistake with each other, they quickly exchanged three moves. As soon as these three tricks passed, he suffered a lot of internal injuries, and after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also recovered for a full year.

After so many years, he still thinks that he has been defeated in the hands of Lu Xiangyin! Unexpectedly, now that Lu Xiangyin is gone, the old inner prison who hurt himself has reappeared...... Nearly 20 years have passed, and although the old internal official has become increasingly old and frail, his hidden injuries have not yet healed. Thinking about the result of this second encounter, the number of wins and defeats between the two sides is still unknown......

However, Shan Qingquan was not a timid person, his eyes were firmly fixed on the old official, and his wrists shook at the same time, and the Xiaoxiang soft sword, which was as soft as a snake, immediately straightened the sword body:

"It's really you...... I miss you and me twenty years ago, and we had three fights. It's a pity that I still have important things to do that day, and we can't distinguish between high and low; But I never thought that you would be able to live to this day at such an age! Okay, well, there will be no accidents in today's fight, and this time we will have a good time! ”

After Shan Qingquan finished speaking, the Xiaoxiang soft sword in his hand immediately dispersed more than a dozen phantoms, drew an extremely strange arc, and stabbed straight at the throat of the old eunuch Niu Zhang!

In all fairness, the soft sword is a dexterous and swift blade, and its lethality is not bad; Only in terms of strength, he has a natural disadvantage, and he can't use those ordinary sword moves of chopping, slashing, stabbing, and blocking; If you encounter that kind of heavy blade with heavy force, with the dexterity and speed unique to the soft sword, you will definitely be able to break through with ingenuity and gain the upper hand; But now Niu Zhang's flying grasp is also an unpopular inner blade that can be far and near, dexterous and changeable, and it is definitely not a good opponent for Shan Qingquan, who is good at using soft swords!

Now Niu Zhang faced more than a dozen phantoms that were difficult to distinguish between real and false, but he raised his left hand unhurriedly and protected his neck with the eagle claw hook made of fine iron; At the same time, the right hand that sank on his waist raised his hand, and the other hook flew straight to Shan Qingquan's back.

This is not that Niu Zhang is old and dazzled, and he uses crooked moves; It's the use of this flying grab, which is so weird in the first place. Of course, Niu Zhang knows, but those who are good at using soft swords will habitually want to use the advantage of speed and dexterity to cut off the opponent's neck; But in his own hands, he has two flying grabbing, which can be attacked and defended! The way he broke the move was to raise one flying grab to protect the vital point of the neck, while the other flying grab went straight to the opponent's back.

In this way, even if he can't hook Shan Qingquan's shoulder blades with one move, he can at least wrap the other party's body with that piece of golden silk cord. As long as the golden wire rope wraps around the opponent's body, whether it is to restrain the opponent's moves, or to accurately wrap around the opponent's neck, it must be a 'sure to make a profit' deal!

Shan Qingquan is also an old man, and he immediately heard that the evil wind in his ears was not good, and the iron hook in the other party's hand also protected his neck tightly, so he naturally knew that he would not be able to succeed in one blow; So, Shan Qingquan immediately twisted his waist, forcibly stopped his body, and then forcibly changed his moves, and the sword body softly stuck to the opponent's outstretched right hand, and went straight to Niu Zhang's armpit and stabbed it......

This coping method is that he Shan Qingquan bit him Niu Zhang's old age and decay, and he planned to fight fast and fight with this person who was about to rotten wood, and fight for reaction speed, qi and blood physical strength...... There was nothing wrong with this line of thinking, but unfortunately he forgot a very important point: he was eager to practice at the beginning, which led to the injury of the sect's tendons. For him Shan Qingquan, this hidden wound is naturally harmful and not beneficial; But the old man in front of him is a 'serious eunuch' who has passed his body! His flexibility and speed are far from being comparable to his own 'man's body'......
