Chapter 33: The Four Seas Martial Arts Hall

Along the way, Shen Chongming had a detailed understanding of the specific situation of the Four Seas Martial Arts Pavilion. It turned out that Xiong Dabiao's master Zheng Sihai ran darts in his early years, and his name was also very famous in Jiangnan, and he also had many friends in the north. But this job is not easy to do, although the reputation of more than 20 years is getting louder and louder, there are more and more enemies on the road, and there are countless competitors.

After losing a few darts last year, Zheng Sihai, who was nearly fifty years old, couldn't help but be disheartened and decided to change careers after thinking about it for a long time. In order to completely get rid of the enemy in the past, he deliberately went to the north to open a martial arts hall. It's just that things are unexpected, although there are a lot of friends here, but they don't have a name in the northern martial arts world, and a big courtyard that they bought with their savings for many years is only this apprentice Xiong Dabiao who was accepted ten years ago.

Originally, I had the intention of closing the martial arts hall to do some small business to live, but I happened to pass by the Hongyun pawnshop when I was wandering around today to check the sale of the store, and I also saw the charm of the studio of wide advertising.

In this way, Zheng Sihai was tempted, if he invited this studio to promote his reputation, this Sihai Martial Arts Hall would soon become famous in the capital, and there would definitely be no shortage of people who came to learn from him, and he didn't have to be a small businessman anymore.

With an idea, he immediately sent Xiong Dabiao to come to the restaurant to invite Shen Chongming to discuss this matter.

"Master, guests are here." Before entering the courtyard gate, Xiong Dabiao shouted at the top of his voice.

"Two sons, please come in quickly." At this time, Xiong Dabiao was polite, and he didn't see the ferocity of Fang Cai when he came to the restaurant to scare people.

The courtyard of the Four Seas Martial Arts Hall is not small, and it can be seen that Zheng Sihai has really invested a lot in this martial arts hall. The big bluestone slab on the ground, people only feel that the soles of their feet are a lot more stable when they step on them, which is just right for people who practice martial arts to practice boxing and feet. There are two weapon racks on both sides, and there are all the weapons on them that Shen Chongming does not know.

Just as he was touching and looking at it with great interest, a thin little old man walked out with a smile, and the mustache on his chin shook and shook, which was very manly. "When the distinguished guest came to the door, the old man did not greet him from afar, which is really rude, hehe." It's really not like it's from his age and figure.

"Master!" As soon as he saw the old man coming, Xiong Dabiao, who was accompanying Shen Chongming to admire the weapon, saluted respectfully.

Shen Chongming also hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Master Zheng is polite. "I secretly wonder in my heart, Zheng Sihai's body doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts. But after thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's anything, to be able to teach a master like Xiong Dabiao, Zheng Sihai's martial arts must be high to a certain level, maybe it has reached the point where it returns to the basics in that kind of martial arts novels.

"A few distinguished guests, please." Zheng Sihai stretched out his hand and said, Shen Chongming, who already regarded him as a master of the kind of return-to-true realm, only felt that this stretch of hand was very knowledgeable, if he was an enemy, his hand would definitely be a sharp palm, and he was defenseless, absolutely dead!

Thinking about it, when he entered the door, he subconsciously moved to the side, cherishing life and staying away from Zheng Sihai.

The host and guest were in place, and the eldest disciple Xiong Dabiao immediately transformed into a servant serving tea, and put the tea next to Shen Chongming and Shi Bingzheng with a smile.

"Master Zheng, what you mean by looking for us, Brother Dabiao has already told us, on the way here, I thought of a way, you can see if it works." Shen Chongming originally wanted to call Xiong Dabiao Brother Xiong very elegantly, but he felt that these two words sounded a little awkward, so he simply took the relationship between the two one step further, and became brothers in one bite.

Xiong Dabiao heard him call himself like this, and he also felt happy in his heart, and thought that this kid dressed as Sven would be a crepe, but now it seems that he is also a cheerful person.

"Please tell me to come and hear it." Zheng Sihai said with great interest, I have seen the scene today, although this person is young, he has some skills, maybe this method can really make his martial arts hall famous in the capital.

"It's just like this, the difference between martial arts halls and ordinary shops is too big, and people who are interested in learning martial arts generally come for the name of martial artists, so it is difficult to see any effect by propaganda alone. Therefore, we must handle this matter according to the methods of martial artists, and the only way to become famous is to compete with others. As soon as Shen Chongming said this, Zheng Sihai shook his head.

"No, opening a martial arts hall is different from walking the rivers and lakes, you must be friendly with your peers, otherwise you won't be able to gain a foothold at all, so this method is not advisable." Zheng Sihai shook his head again and again, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, it seemed that his wish was about to be disappointed.

"Hehe, Master Zheng misunderstood, that's not what I mean, you listen to me. There are other ways to compete in the same martial arts in addition to kicking the gym, for example, you invite the martial arts community in the capital to hold a friendly match together to learn martial arts. Such a thing is rare, and it is not yet known that it will attract the attention of all parties and cause a sensation in the whole city. At that time, as long as the Four Seas Martial Arts Hall can achieve a ranking, wouldn't those who want to learn art automatically come to the door? Shen Chongming said his own method with a smile, and he also faintly looked forward to it, if this grand event of the martial arts world in the capital can really be held, it must be very exciting, and then he, the organizer behind the scenes, can also open his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Sihai couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Childe is insightful, this will not only make my Sihai Martial Arts Hall famous in the capital, but also make friends with a lot of martial arts colleagues, and what is even more difficult is that it will not hurt each other's harmony, it is really a rare and good way, okay, just do it." ”

Seeing that the old man was happy, Shen Chongming suddenly thought of one thing, he was patronizing his interest, and he forgot to pay the price, how is this good, you can't suddenly mention this stubble at this time, talking about money hurts feelings, if this is said, such a good atmosphere will definitely be gone.

was worried, and heard Zheng Sihai say: "What should I do about this matter will be handed over to the son, as long as the matter is completed, the old man will give thirty taels of silver!" ”

This matter is a golden idea, but the actual operation is not too troublesome, thirty taels of silver is completely in line with the price in Shen Chongming's heart, and he immediately nodded and said: "Then please ask Master Zheng to wait patiently for a few days, and when the specific regulations are drawn up, I will order someone to send it to you, of course, you have to come in person to contact other martial arts halls." ”

"Okay, then it's a word, the old man is waiting for good news at home." Zheng Sihai laughed and said very arrogantly.

Leaving the Four Seas Martial Arts Pavilion, Shen Chong's famous master Bingzheng, who had made another deal, was extremely excited, and the fact that he hadn't eaten for a day was also left behind, so he hurried to the restaurant again, very eager to know how much business Manager Xiao and Director Xiao had finalized.

I knew that I had just walked out of a distance, and I met more than a dozen brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists.

Everyone knows the name of Jinyiwei, and they themselves know that they can't do it, they don't go out on errands on weekdays, they are all dressed in idle clothes, so as not to frighten passers-by. Since Shen Chongming entered Beijing, he has never encountered it, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be startled, he didn't come to arrest himself, he hadn't violated the royal law.

When he was anxious, Jin Yiwei passed by the two of them, without lifting his eyelids. Shen Chongming breathed a sigh of relief, the person he wanted to arrest was not himself.

Shi Bingzheng behind him was not much better, and whispered with a pale face as he watched Jinyiwei walk away: "Brother Shen, Jinyiwei." ”

Before Shen Chongming could nod, several brocade guards appeared in front of him, and the person at the head still knew him, it was Liu Shouyou, a thousand households he hadn't seen for many days.

Obviously, Liu Shouyou also recognized him, and the face that was originally used to show the majesty of Jinyi Wei couldn't help but smile, "Hehe, little brother, why are you here?" ”

"Lord Liu." Shen Chongming was pleasantly surprised, seeing an old acquaintance, then there was nothing to be afraid of. As he spoke, he walked up quickly, and Shi Bingzheng behind him was so frightened that he almost fainted, obediently, this Brother Shen is really powerful, and even Jinyiwei has acquaintances.

"Lord Liu, the kid has something to do here, why are you going?" Everyone has gossip in their hearts, and Shen Chongming is no exception, so many brocade guards wave after wave, this must be something big!

"Hehe, there's nothing to do today, the brothers have to let me have a treat, so don't you come out early." Liu Shouyou explained with a smile, listening to these words, Shen Chongming subconsciously looked up and looked forward, and saw a majestic courtyard not far away, with a plaque hanging on it: Beizhen Fusi!

Seeing these four words, Shen Chongming only felt that his scalp was fried, how could this Four Seas Martial Arts Hall be next to the Zhenfu Division, no wonder there was not even a person who studied art, who would come here to visit if he was idle.

"Little brother, if you have time, let's go together, last time I said I was going to invite you to drink, and I will make it up for you today." For Shen Chongming, Liu Shouyou always has an indescribable feeling, anyway, he is very optimistic about him.

"Hehe, Lord Xie Liu is loved, but the kid is really entangled in mundane affairs today, so he can only waste your kindness. Otherwise, if you have free time after ten days, the kid will sit in the east and invite Lord Liu and the officials to drink, and it will be regarded as reparation. Shen Chongming said very apologetically, seeing that it was not early, not only did Xiao Pengcheng have things to deal with, but he also had to rush back to Guozi Prison as soon as possible, otherwise he would violate the prison rules.

Liu Shouyou also knew that he was studying in Guozijian, and the rules of that place were also very strict, although he could help speak as a Jinyi guard, but I heard that it was Gao Gong, the mentor of Prince Yu, who was now serving as a sacrificial wine, and this old man was very stubborn, and it was very possible not to give himself face by relying on the identity of the future emperor. And this is not good for Shen Chongming.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not early, you better go back early, you come here to find me in ten days, there should be no errands to do if nothing goes wrong, hehe." ”

A few more polite words, Liu Shouyou walked forward with more than ten subordinates, in fact, today's drinking is just a reason, a few days ago when a brother was out on errands, he was bullied by the shopkeeper of a restaurant because he was wearing regular clothes, it is said that it is not a big deal to find a reason to clean him up in the name of Jinyiwei. But the commander is a low-key person, from the beginning of the appointment set a rule, not to bully the people at will to attract hatred, no way, can only dress neatly where to eat a meal, see so many brocade guards, the restaurant in the next month do not want to have guests to come, this method is not considered to bully the people.
