In this competition, Chen Yue gained a lot.

First of all, he finally fought a real warrior, the Iron Lion was completely different from other warriors, his moves were wide open, and he walked the path of a complete battle. In this competition, Chen Yue won too lucky, if he didn't happen to shoot the iron lion's unprotected inner thigh with a crossbow arrow, he would definitely lose this competition, and the price of losing would be seriously injured even if he was not beaten into a meatloaf by the iron lion's mace. It was this competition that made Chen Yue realize his own shortcomings, the original spear martial arts that he was proud of were completely inadequate in front of the real warriors of a hundred battles, and there was still a long way to go in future training. However, if you really want to go to the battlefield, you can't just rely on the courage of the horseman, after all, the battle is the overall cooperation, and in front of thousands of troops, the courage of the individual is not too important.

Then it was this victory that made Li Zanyuan, the son of Xiangcheng Boshi, win a full 30,000 taels of silver, not only won back the silver he had lost before, but also won 20,000 taels more. Li Zanyuan happily agreed to Chen Yue that the affairs of the Chen family were on him, and he no longer had to worry about Wanping County to find trouble. Li Zanyuan's father, Li Guozhen, was the governor of Xiangcheng and served as the governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and was deeply valued by the current Chongzhen Emperor, and there was a faint tendency to replace Wu Weiying as the next governor of Beijing.

Happy, Li Zanyuan rewarded him with the armor he lent Chen Yue to wear, and invited Chen Yue to come to the house to be a housekeeper. These nobles are just grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will not be able to bounce for long, and with the fall of Beijing, they will be buried with the end of the dynasty. For these nobles who have only the last afterglow left in the twilight of the Western Mountains, it is okay to borrow their last afterglow, and it is irrational to be bound to them, let alone serve as the masters.

Chen Yue immediately politely refused, explaining his ambition to make money in business. After learning that Chen Yue had now opened a coal yard, Li Zanyuan laughed and laughed at Chen Yue's so-called "business", but since Chen Yue didn't want him, he was not reluctant, and he was not angry, after all, Chen Yue had just made a great contribution to him. And after this series of gambling battles, Xungui's children also lost interest in this form of gambling and fighting, and Chen Yue's martial arts were of little use to Li Zanyuan.

Taking advantage of Li Zanyuan's happiness, Chen Yue asked him to help move his father's position upward, after all, the actual position of a general banner is too low. Li Zanyuan agreed with a smile, this is really a small matter for him. If nothing else, Chen Jianghe will soon be promoted to one level and become the general manager of the Beijing camp who matches his position in the world.

Li Zanyuan's promise worked very well, and in the next few days, Wanping County really didn't come to look for trouble. Chen Yue asked someone to go to the county government to inquire, Wanping Zhixian really wrote to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, asking to hand over the hundred households of Chen Jianghe to Wanping County for interrogation and murder, but was beaten back by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies on the grounds that there was no evidence, Wanping Zhixian was very annoyed, and personally went to the Shuntian Mansion to operate, and wanted to ask the Shuntian Mansion to help put pressure on the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but was severely reprimanded by the Shuntian Mansion Yin, saying that he should not accept bribes and frame him, which made Wanping Zhixian stop.

Finally settled this matter, fortunately, Chen Yue hated Yang Can, the owner of the Yang family coal yard behind this matter, even more, the paralysis was originally just legitimate business competition, but this guy first sent people to the coal yard in the middle of the night to set fire, trying to burn everyone in the Chen family. After the conspiracy failed, he teamed up with Wanping County to "falsely accuse" his father Chen Jianghe of murder, all of which were to force his father and son to death. For such a shameless villain, we must be severely punished and make an example, I don't know how many people will jump out and embarrass their father and son with the gradual expansion of the honeycomb coal business!

If you want to cut off Yang Can, you must first knock out the backstage behind him, so that you can slowly rectify him, and you won't have to worry about being backlashed. Yang Can's biggest backstage is Song He, the classic history of Wanping County, and Song He must be destroyed first. However, although Song He is only an inaccessible canon, he is also an official of the imperial court, and if he is killed, he will definitely get into big trouble, so he must be carefully planned.

.......

The iron lion walked on the street of Xuanwumen with difficulty, and he was once majestic and mighty, but now his beard and cheeks were sunken, and the whole person was so haggard and tired.

The defeat to Chen Yue made Wu Keming, the son of the Hou Shizi, furious, and the iron lion immediately changed from a guest in the Hou Mansion to a hated figure, and he was seriously injured and was thrown to a remote firewood room by Wu Keming, and he never paid attention to it again, and even did not invite a doctor to him, leaving him to fend for himself. The iron lion himself pulled out the arrow on the palm of his hand with his teeth, then bit off the crossbow arrow on his thigh, pressed the wound with grass ash to stop the bleeding, and then carefully lay down in the firewood room to heal the wound. For several days, except for a few dry steamed buns thrown to him by a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, no one paid attention to him as a loser.

The iron lion endured this humiliation by himself, hiding in the firewood room of the Hou Mansion to raise his injuries, he knew that he had offended too many people, and if he went out now, he would definitely not live to the dawn of tomorrow. Only by recovering from injuries, walking on the legs, and holding up arms with both hands can you ensure that you can survive. Lying in the musty firewood room, the iron lion's heart was full of endless hatred, compared to Chen Yue, who shot him, he hated Wu Keming, the son of the Hou Shizi, even more!

A few days later, the injuries on both palms finally scarred, and although the thighs were still aching, they were barely able to walk. At dusk one day, the iron lion finally walked out of the gate of the Gongshun Hou's mansion.

In the Gongshun Hou Mansion, relying on invincible force, the iron lion wants to be windy and rainy, but out of the Hou Mansion, he immediately felt the difficulty of life, and his injuries have not yet healed. In the past few days, the iron lion has been living like a year.

Limping along Xuanwumen Street, the iron lion saw that someone was following him, so he turned into a silent alley and hid behind a wall.

The two people sneakily followed up the alley, and the iron lion appeared behind the two, grabbed the collars of the two, and with a force of both hands, knocked the heads of the two people together, and immediately knocked them unconscious.

Just as he was about to pull out the short stick behind his waist and give these two people a few more blows, a clear voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Tie, don't fight again, if you fight again, you will be killed."

The iron lion Huo Ran turned around and saw Chen Yue standing behind him with a smile.
