After that, the whole flower hall is a celebration of the guests and the hosts. Luo Yunshi didn't expect that He Xinyin's name would be so widely spread among Jingzhou merchants, although it is not a good reputation, but it is definitely a bit legendary. Coupled with Luo Yunshi's refreshing wine style and relatively low attitude, the uncles were somewhat impressed. Luo Yunshi understood that Zhao Fengming deliberately introduced him to this group of Jingzhou's God of Wealth, that is, he had basically agreed to his plan, but he didn't know what the conditions were.

The guests dispersed, and the old department of the Zhao family returned to Qifengzhuang.

Zhao Fengming's study, in addition to Zhao Fengming, also has his three sworn brothers - Cheng Zhaofeng, Wu Xin, Lin Shi, and the other is Liu Xuanzhi, a man in his fifties who was at the same table with Zhao Fengming in the flower hall, and Luo Yunshi.

"In the past few years, the Nangong clan has taken advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou to take away fifty percent of the salt in the hands of several of our major merchants. But it's not easy to get those salt backs. Liu Yanzhi shook his head.

"Mr. Liu, the third hall in Jingzhou, although the overall strength of the Iron Sword Hall is not as good as the other two halls, but Qin Yongsen, the master of the Iron Sword Hall, is still decent. Leshui Hall and Chengfeng Hall, one is to squander the family business unscrupulously, and the other is to lose the road and not take the clear road. In the past five years, in order not to let one family dominate, the funds introduced by the purchase and sale of salt have been split into three points and handed over to Santang. So, if you want to get the salt back, it's not difficult. The question is how much can we eat? Luo Yunshi replied with a smile.

Wu Xin looked at Zhao Fengming and said to Luo Yunshi: "Yunshi, I won't tell you, we have been calculating this matter in the past few days." Wu Xin paused, "Now, even if we combine the strength of all the merchants in Jingzhou, it can only be eighty percent." Up to eighty percent. ”

"That is to leave two percent for the three halls. Good! Luo Yunshi nodded.

Liu Luzhi thought for a while and asked: "Young Master Luo, Liu agrees with Qi Fengzhuang's plan, but there are a few questions that still need to be asked clearly." ”

"Mr. Liu, but it doesn't hurt to ask."

"First, time. There are still two months left before the government auctions the salt, is it too late? Second, money. There aren't many of us who can come out. ”

"Time is very important, but we must control it well and not leave too much time for Santang, after all, for the Nangong clan, there is no shortage of money. In the early stage, it is about 10,000 taels of goods to be paid by the merchants, and the rest will be funded by Qifengzhuang. Of course, the money from the merchants is borrowed. ”

Zhao Fengming smiled and followed: "It is also a loan from Qi Fengzhuang." ”

Liu Xuanzhi thought for a while and said to Luo Yunshi: "You want satin." At present, the Jiangling satin that can be found on the market in Jingzhou is worth about 2,000 taels. ”

Luo Yunshi looked at Zhao Fengming and said, "The goods may not come back, even if it is 12,000 taels." ”

Liu Zhizhi smiled, "Liu is not a stingy person, and the affairs of Jingzhou should be solved by us Jingzhou people, so this matter cannot be borne by Zhao Lao alone." Twelve thousand taels, I think Jingzhou will pay it back, if it can be repaid, of course, if it can't be returned, we won't force Qifengzhuang. ”

**********

A few days later, Wu Xin and Liu Zhizhi discussed the details, although Zhao Fengming also asked Luo Yunshi to participate together, but Luo Yunshi was quite interested in listening.

However, in the past few days, Cheng Zhaofeng has always looked at him with a smile, which really makes Luo Yunshi a little creepy. Until, Cheng Zhaofeng smiled evilly, took the joint battle book of Zhang Jingzhou Yijian Sect and Hengshan Sword Faction, and handed it to Luo Yunshi.

Seeing Luo Yunshi's expression as if he had seen a ghost, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't you know that this One Sword Sect is a branch of the Hengshan Sword Sect?" How? I played for a long time last time, and I didn't see it? ”

Luo Yunshi immediately put it down, pointed to the battle book and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Hehe, you beat your son, of course you can't sit still? …… Oh, and I have a lot of brothers in Jingzhou who want to learn from you ....... ”

"But, I'm very busy."

"You don't care about the Hengshan Sword Sect, haha, you don't want to mix in Huguang." Cheng Zhaofeng's face was full of schadenfreude.

"Don't say that. Hengshan Sword Sect, such a big sect, do I dare to provoke? Alas, Cheng senior, it's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that this kind of thing is really boring. …… Well, I don't want to fight, is there any way to push it off? ”

Cheng Zhaofeng pretended to shake his head, "Alas, it's difficult." Others, I can do you a favor, but the Hengshan Sword Sect, we Jingzhou are probably not the ones who say anything. Difficult....... After thinking about it, he continued: "However, they are still very disciplined, and generally this kind of competition is just to the point, you don't have to be too afraid, they just want to save face." ”

"Can you just admit defeat?"

"Of course not, everyone's family has arrived in Jingzhou, and I heard that the seniority is quite high." As he spoke, he picked up the war book, "Come on, come on, open it and take a look." Yo, the day they set, three days later; The place is yours. It is said that there will be three games, and the first game will be a sword competition; The second game, the fists and feet, the ....... ”

"Wait...... the first sword fight?" Luo Yunshi looked anxious, "I told them last time, I won't do this thing!" ”

"That's not possible, there is a sword in the name of other people's sects, of course they have to compete with swords."

"I won't, it's better to admit defeat than anything." Luo Yunshi is really depressed.

"That person also takes care of you, you see the second game is more than punches and feet, and the third game, it's up to you to decide what to compare." Seeing that Luo Yunshi had two big heads, Cheng Zhaofeng really admired that he didn't laugh. "Ah, the sword, you can swing it twice, just get it. However, have you ever wondered where to compare? ”

"I'm not familiar with Jingzhou." Luo Yunshi said in a muffled voice.

"That's it, it's better to be in Qifengzhuang, there is a martial arts training ground in the back, it's very big, very good, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons." glanced at Luo Yunshi, and saw that he didn't react, so he added, "It's so decided." As for what the last game is, think about it yourself, and I'll help you block other people who are looking for you to learn from it. ”

**********

According to Luo Yunshi's original idea, he should be pretending to be a wealthy businessman to buy Jiangling satin, instead of standing in this martial arts arena that can accommodate hundreds of people and being watched by hundreds of people. Cheng Zhaofeng was full of spring breeze and kept greeting everyone present. What's going on? Could it be that this person is still collecting tickets at the door?

And Luo Yunshi's opponent, standing two zhang away, dressed in sackcloth and a long sword, seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with acne and indifference on his face.

At this time, the gong sounded. A man in colorful clothes said in a loud voice, "The hour has come." Luo Yunshi faced Li Qiang of the Hengshan Sword School, the first game, swordsmanship. The two of them learn from each other, and the point is up. ”

The venue gradually quieted down, but Luo Yunshi's heart almost wanted to scold his mother. Is this a big opera? Or a monkey? Also Li Qiang! Isn't it Li Qiang, the head of the One Sword Sect? It's just that someone wants to see their own set of Qianyue swordsmanship, using it like this? I really don't know if Cheng Zhaofeng is being used, or if he is confused. Well, since everyone is so involved, let's cooperate with the next performance.

Luo Yunshi looked at the long sword handed by the sword boy, but he didn't take it, and suddenly smiled and said, "Luo doesn't know swordsmanship, it's better to lose this time?" ”

Li Qiang didn't seem to expect him to say this, and was stunned, "No!" ”

"Li Shaoxia, isn't this difficult for a strong man?" Luo Yunshi put his hands behind his back and was not in a hurry.

"However, if you receive the war letter, you must compare." Li Qiang's face flushed.

"I don't know how to do swordsmanship, and Li Shaoxia insists on comparing. So, do you have any good suggestions? Luo Yunshi smiled and looked around.

The scene was eerily quiet, and then there was a lot of discussion. Not long after, a person dressed in the same clothes as Li Qiang came up on the field, whispered a few words to Li Qiang, and left. Li Qiang's expression was a little puzzled, but he still took a deep breath and said loudly: "I am willing to teach Luo Gongzi a set of swordsmanship." Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he continued to Cheng Zhaofeng: "Senior Cheng, please take me and Luo Gongzi to a small school field where no one is around." ”

The discussion in the audience became louder. Finally, someone asked: "Then if Luo Yunshi can't learn, isn't it comparable today?" ”

Cheng Zhaofeng looked at everyone a little embarrassed, thought about it and said with a smile: "Then postpone it for half an hour." He turned his head to Luo Yunshi and said, "In any case, after half an hour, the sword will be compared." ”

**********

Luo Yunshi didn't expect that this Li Qiang was a real person, and he really taught the introductory nine styles in Hengshan swordsmanship at a glance, and even said the mantra. It's just that these nine styles are really not difficult, and Luo Yunshi can compare them at a glance. Now I can only pretend to be stupid and kill half an hour.

When he stood in the martial arts arena again, Li Qiang seemed to be afraid that he would say anything more, and as soon as Caiyiren's voice fell, he shot directly. But Luo Yunshi's performance surprised Li Qiang. The long sword in the hand, like a stick, like a knife, like a gun, but not like a sword, and the introductory nine styles that I just learned were melted by Luo Yunshi and Qianyue swordsmanship, which was plausible. Li Qiang frowned, changed his moves, and forced Luo Yunshi to fight with swordsmanship.

Finally, Luo Yunshi's sword moves gradually became normal, but what was mixed in the introductory nine styles was the pure Qianyue sword technique.

More than 20 moves, the two of them did not distinguish between victory and defeat, suddenly, Luo Yunshi flew out of the field, threw the long sword, and said loudly: "Li Shaoxia's swordsmanship is excellent, Luo admits defeat." ”

"You haven't lost yet!" Li Qiang has probably never seen anyone in his life, who is in a hurry to admit defeat in the competition.

Luo Yunshi shrugged, "Why didn't you lose?" Li Shaoxia's swordsmanship is varied, but Luo Mou just goes back and forth with these few moves, and it's not interesting to fight again, why don't you start the next game? ”

The man in color looked at Li Qiang, then at Luo Yunshi, and at Cheng Zhaofeng from afar. I saw Li Qiang nodding: "Okay, let's start the next one." ”

Luo Yunshi returned to the field and stood still, and Li Qiang also put down his long sword. The man in color announced loudly: "In the first swordsmanship, Li Qiangsheng of the Hengshan Sword Sect. The second game, punches and kicks. Two digits, point to point. ”

After the Caiyi man finished speaking, Li Qiang put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Luo Gongzi's fists and feet can beat everyone's sister's swordsmanship, no need to compare, Li admits defeat." ”

Boom, ......, there was an uproar in the field. I really don't know what the two people on the field think, if they say a good competition, they can't have a serious competition.

**********

Qifengzhuang, back hall.

The martial arts competition continues, but it is very quiet here. There are a few pots of begonias in the hall, and there is a faint fragrance of silk plum blossoms in the air.

Zhao Fengming took a shallow sip of the teacup, and looked at Li Songran on the other side with a smile, "Luo Yunshi is my classmate of Xiaoqi, and later studied under He Xinyin, which is known to all Jingzhou." For martial arts, the old man is not comprehensible, hehe, since He Xinyin has always been known as a hero, presumably Yunshi, a disciple, should also know a few kung fu. ”

Li Songran said with a smile: "The younger generation knows that it is a little abrupt, but I don't know if it is possible, the name Luo Yunshi is just a pseudonym?" ”

"Hahaha, Yun Shi claims to be a person from Yanzhou, presumably there is nothing that can't be found with the Nangong clan."

Li Songran took a sip of tea and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, the junior has taken his leave." ”

"The competition on the martial arts arena shouldn't be over yet. Li Gongzi watched a game and was about to leave? Zhao Fengming said a little teasingly.

"I've watched everything I should see, and I want to thank my seniors."

"Haha, he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Oh, by the way, the old man is old and weak, and in the future, Luo Yunshi will handle affairs on behalf of Qi Fengzhuang. Zhao Fengming said seemingly casually.

Sending Li Songran away, Lin Shi asked puzzledly: "Big brother, do you really want to use Luoyun stone?" But this man ......"

"You're trying to say there's something wrong with this guy?" Zhao Fengming gave a pot of begonias in front of him to loosen the soil.

"Big brother, you said a few days ago that this person doesn't have a word of truth about himself. How? ”

Zhao Fengming put down the small shovel in his hand and said with a smile: "He wants to use our Qifengzhuang, and it is the Nangong clan who is plotting." Why can't I use him to benefit our Qifengzhuang? After a pause, seeing that Lin Shi was still a little puzzled, he said, "Do you remember Hong Lai?" ”

"Master Hong? Back then, I didn't understand why he bowed to a hairy kid in his twenties. Even if it's the Nangong clan behind it, what can it do? ”

"What if we want to do the same?" Zhao Fengming looked at Lin Shi with great interest.

"Big brother, Qifengzhuang is ...... in Jingzhou."

Zhao Fengming waved his hand and said, "Ah Shi, you have to understand the problem of Qi Fengzhuang." No matter how strong we are, after us, there will be no more perched phoenix villages in the world. ”

Lin Shi was anxious, "Big brother...... ”

Zhao Fengming didn't let him interject, and continued: "We are all old, you still have descendants, and I have only one Rong Rong, I want to find a way back for Rong Rong." Wait for me for a hundred years, the three of you can divide Qifengzhuang, I only have one request, as long as Rong Rong has something to do in the future, you must do your best to help her once. ”

"Big brother, Qi Fengzhuang has always been the eldest brother's, and it will also be Rongrong's in the future." After thinking about it, he said, "Could it be that the eldest brother wants to marry Rong Rong to Luo Yunshi?" ”

"Luo Yunshi, hehe, with the style of the Nangong clan, will he not check his bottom? However, why did Li Songran still have to make such a big battle after checking? Description, there is a problem. But making such a play made them even more confused. Hehe, Luo Yunshi, if I guessed correctly, Rong Rong couldn't marry him. All I want for him is a promise. …… Hopefully, this time, I'm not wrong. ”
