Early the next morning, the train on which the second lady was riding was escorted home by a team of iron guard cavalry. In case someone was unwilling to accept yesterday's defeat, even the carriage was full of crossbowmen.

All the way safe, back to the iron factory, the new iron factory guard Liu Ziguang was taken to the Iron Guard headquarters, after an oath of allegiance, assigned to a new uniform: black tight-sleeved arrow jacket, thin-soled fast boots, black scarf on the head, a sheepskin jacket, a black armor, a bowl-shaped iron helmet, a waist knife, a shield-shaped iron waist card, carved two big characters "Iron Guard" and then a five-pointed star, at the bottom are two small characters "Inner House" and the number of the new smashed up. It's still 9527, and the inner house said that he belongs to the personal guard who specializes in protecting the inner house, and there is a difference in duties from other factory defense, patrol, traffic and other troops, 9527 is the lifetime number that Liu Ziguang branded on his body when he entered the factory as a slave, and even if he became an iron guard, it will not be changed.

Liu Ziguang put on a new line, walked in the inner house beautifully, and went to see Hu Xianjue, the captain of the inner house, along the way, there were many maids and servants who cast coquettish glances, and he did not refuse to come, and looked back with his eyes one by one, a proud appearance of the spring breeze.

Captain Hu Xianjue's two temples were sunken, his eyes were sharp, and his whole body exuded a domineering aura that only a master could have, which made this young man feel a strong coercion, Liu Ziguang hurriedly gathered his mind and bowed: "Subordinate Liu Ziguang, see Captain Hu." ”

Hu Xianjue circled around him a few times, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Well, the character recommended by the second lady is really good, and it is a good way to practice kung fu." You can act as the second lady's guard for the time being. ”

At the same time, in the study of the inner house, the special giant mahogany office desk was piled with documents, account books, and a few abacus, a dignified girl sat on a brocade rosewood chair behind the desk, holding a delicate hardwood pen, dipped in the ink in the inkstone and wrote something on the paper, the number of cast iron radiators in the room was more than in other rooms, the girl only wore a goose-yellow satin jacket, and under her soft and moist long hair was a pair of shining eyes like morning stars, and her eyebrows and eyes were delicate. It is eight points similar to the second lady, but it is a little less naughty, a little more coquettish, a little more quiet, and a little generous.

The girl looked at the second lady who was wandering around in the room and said: "Xiaowei, this time you took advantage of your father's retreat and ran to Xuzhou Mansion to make trouble, if it weren't for the Han Da shopkeeper and Niu Ginseng to help you, I'm afraid it wouldn't end so well, Huang Zhifu is a rich salt merchant in Haizhou, and there is Jingshi Huang Gonggong as a backer, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get along with, you bullied his nephew, you must not be good, it's almost the end of the year, you better not go out, stay in the factory honestly." There are also 100,000 taels of money from the 18 Lianfeng branches in the south of the Yangtze River, you actually dare to take it to fight for wealth, the factory looks very bright, but in fact, it is already beyond its means, and the recent millions of taels of weapons from the Ministry of War, I don't know why it has been delayed. Now even the coal payment of the Pang family in Xuzhou Mansion is difficult to pay, stop the coal, and the iron ore alone can not smelt iron, fortunately, there are 100,000 taels, first clear the accounts for the bosses of the rice noodle shop, otherwise the outside knows that our iron factory has no silver, and does not flock to collect debts, although the Pang family is said to be an old friend, but it is only a transaction in business, not a fateful friendship, cut off the coal, then we really have no turnover, can not maintain, the iron guard and the workers can not pay wages, I am afraid that there will be trouble, fortunately there are many uncles pressing. Otherwise, how can I take care of a weak woman? ”

The second lady's mouth was so pouting that she could hang the oil bottle, and jumped over and pulled the arm of the girl in yellow and shook it: "Sister~~~, didn't you bring 100,000 taels, I'm already very well-behaved, you let me treat people leniently, I also promoted two slave fighters as iron guards yesterday, you let me save money, I rewarded those iron guards and forbidden soldiers yesterday, and one person gave one or two silver!" It's shameless! By the way, sister, if the turnover at home is difficult, I will take out all the 30,000 taels of private money to make up for it, and you will pay me back later. ”

The girl in yellow is obviously the current acting owner of the Liguo Iron Plant: the eldest lady. She rubbed her temples, pulled the account book and flipped through it randomly, muttering in her mouth: "I am now here in the study temporarily as an account room, the accounts are chaotic, a few account gentlemen made a bunch of bad accounts, I see that I am dizzy, I still can't understand the essentials, I always vaguely feel that there are some problems, it seems that I have to ask a few Hui merchants to help check the audit room." ”

Hearing the loyalty of the second miss, she raised her head and looked at the second miss with a smile after she finished speaking, and said, "Thirty thousand taels, Xiaowei is really generous, you can send someone to send it over when you go back, my sister is busy here, you go elsewhere to play first." ”

In the guard room of the inner house, Liu Ziguang stood awkwardly, helpless, without his seat, everyone was busy with their own affairs, no one paid attention to this newcomer, where several guards gathered, from time to time there were mean glances, "thieves and slave laborers, bumped into shit luck" The words rang out unscrupulously.

Liu Ziguang couldn't bear it, but the guards didn't know the depths, and a thin and tall guard walked over, his eyebrows were full of disdain: "I heard that you, a newcomer, are good at fists, feet, swords, and kung fu, and what kind of general's flower name is mixed up, and you are in the lower road Gaozhi, I want to ask for advice or two, I don't know if the general appreciates his face?" ”

Liu Ziguang listened to Lu Gaozhi's sarcastic words, and his heart was also annoyed, and if he said that it was a martial arts competition, it would be no wonder that I was very good, and then he arched his hand: "Please also give advice." ”

When a group of people came to the open space under the hall, the ground where the snow had been cleared was paved with green bricks, which was very clean. Lu Gaozhi said: "The sword has no eyes, let's try our fists and feet first." Liu Ziguang said: "Listen to it." ”

Before the words fell, Liu Ziguang saw that there was a dazzle in front of him, all of which were Lu Gaozhi's legs flying, so he had to protect his head and face like a boxer, and he had been kicked several times in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Lu Gaozhi jumped up suddenly, a beautiful volley turned around and kicked, the thin-soled fast boots were kicked in Liu Ziguang's face, full of force, Liu Ziguang was kicked to the ground, his mouth was salty, it was clearly blood, Liu Ziguang swallowed the blood, quickly got up, and wanted to fight again. saw that Lu Gaofeng had already put on a sheepskin jacket surrounded by all the guards, and was drinking tea with the teacup offered by others. There was a cheering all around.

"Sure enough, he is the heir of the Shenleg Lu family, he didn't move his hand, and he solved the problem with a few feet."

"That's natural, how can Brother Lu's skills be able to compete with such a triangular cat."

"Lao Lu only used thirty percent of his strength today, otherwise the general's head would not have been kicked out."

Lu Gaozhi listened to the praise very much, and said to Liu Ziguang with a fluttering hand: "Agreed, Your Excellency's fists and feet are really professors from prisoners of war from various countries, haha, very powerful." ”

A guard with a long knife saw that Lu Gao Zhisha was majestic, and he also came to make fun: "I, Yang Meng, also came to discuss with the general about the cultivation of weapons, I don't know how many times I can walk in the hands of the general, haha." ”

There was laughter around, the crowd formed a circle again, Liu Ziguang took a knife and stood down in front of Yang Meng, Yang Mengwu played a beautiful head wrapping his head, first won a burst of applause, and then stood lightly in a self-righteous posture, hooking his fingers at Liu Ziguang.

Liu Ziguang waved his knife and stepped forward, with no fancy movements, heavy and fast continuous slashing towards Yang Meng, at first Yang Meng could resist a few moves, and gradually some could not cope with the faster and faster attack, suddenly Liu Ziguang slashed on Yang Meng's shoulder, Yang Meng was so frightened that he immediately did the ground, stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the back of the knife, Liu Ziguang also arched his hand: "Agreed." Yang Meng hatefully stood aside with a knife.

The crowd cheered, and among the guards, a young man wearing a white flower satin arrow sleeve jumped out, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a long figure, he was really a talent, and the young man bowed his hand to Liu Ziguang, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the red-clothed general has won six battles and six victories in the gladiatorial arena, and has not tasted defeat. ”

A gust of north wind blew, bringing up the snowflakes on the roof ridge to float in the air, Liu Ziguang was dressed in a black power suit, skimming the knife with one hand, and his eyes followed the white-clothed young man Song Qingfeng in front of him.

Song Qingfeng pinched a sword duel, the three-foot Qingfeng sword was pinched in his palm, the hem of the white flower satin arrow suit fluttered slightly with the north wind, indescribably handsome, fortunately there were no maid ring servants present, otherwise they would have been eager to cheer for Song Qingfeng hoarsely. Liu Ziguang is dressed as an ordinary martial artist, while Song Qingfeng is a standard young man on the rivers and lakes. The image of the two is first distinguished.

Liu Ziguang stared at Song Qingfeng's eyes, this is the method taught to him by the knife coach, the enemy's eyes will reveal his intentions, Song Qingfeng squinted with a smile, revealing a mouthful of good-looking white teeth, the whole person looked very loose, but there was no flaw at all, he was a difficult opponent to deal with.

There can be no delay, the more it drags on, the more he loses to the opponent in momentum, Liu Ziguang shouted violently, and the single knife lightning slashed towards the opponent, Song Qingfeng greeted him with a sword, and the two swords were staggered for more than ten rounds, and Liu Ziguang did not take advantage of it. Although they were all ruthless moves with all their might, they were easily resolved by Song Qingfeng, and Song Qingfeng's tricks were obviously from famous factions, as chic and elegant as flowing water, which was completely different from Liu Ziguang's simple battlefield killing moves. I saw that he was holding a sword in one hand, seemingly casually blocking Liu Ziguang's fierce attack, and with the other hand behind his back, he looked leisurely.

The guards around kept applauding, and some people said, "How can Song Shaoxia have so many tricks with that thief and slave worker, it stands to reason that you can see victory or defeat within three moves." ”

Another person said: "You still don't understand, Song Shaoxia is entertaining the thief and slave labor, more than a few tricks should be teasing him, you see that Song Shaoxia, in the end, is a disciple of the Wudang faction, obviously fighting, making it like a sword dance, this is the level, you can't accept it." ”

Song Qingfeng had completely figured out Liu Ziguang's strength, so he accepted the idea of teasing the other party, and said softly, "offend", and the sword in his hand suddenly turned into a cloud of light and shadow, like Liu Ziguang shrouded in the past.

Liu Ziguang was overwhelmed, and was forced to keep retreating, and Song Qingfeng was still shouting; "Too slow, you're too slow, you're too slow!" The footwork under his feet is subtle, pressing step by step, the sword in his hand is like pouring wind, and the sound of the rapid sword hitting is endless, and suddenly there is a long roar, only to see Liu Ziguang's steel knife flying out of his hand, stuck on a big tree and still trembling. Liu Ziguang's feet were already messy, and he was forced to stumble by Song Qingfeng's fast sword attack and fell to the ground.

applauded, "Song Shaoxia won!" Song Shaoxia won!"

Song Qingfeng's sword pointed at Liu Ziguang's throat, smiled reservedly, smiled at the flattery of the guards, and said; "This general, the knife is so good, it's really better to meet, accidentally broke the general's new clothes, please forgive me."

When everyone heard this, they went to see Liu Ziguang's black arrow clothes, but they saw that there were a lot of ways drawn by the sword blade on the brand-new clothes, and it was a "slave" word! Everyone was amazed, "Sure enough, good swordsmanship, out of the ordinary!" ”

"It's better to engrave it on your clothes than on your face." A skinny guard maliciously suggests.

Song Qingfeng smiled with dazzling white teeth again, and said, "Then I'll carve it." Ignoring Liu Ziguang's angry eyes, he raised his sword and slashed at Liu Ziguang's face.
