Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Uninvited Guest
Except for holidays, the disciples of Juyingguan have to gather in the practice room every morning to practice. When Jiang Mubai walked to the door of the Juying Pavilion with a high-grade treasure soldier-grade broom, he happened to be accompanied by a disciple of the outer sect dressed in gray.
"Weird, Senior Brother Jiang, why are you ......?"
The outer disciple who usually talks the most nonsense and is the most proficient at slapping horses is dumbfounded when he sees the broom in Jiang Mubai's hand.
Several outer disciples who were traveling with him looked at each other and beeped quietly.
"Huh?" Jiang Mubai motioned for him to continue with his eyes.
"Senior Brother Jiang, is he, the hall master?" Outer disciples can call inner disciples senior brothers, but they are not qualified to call the Qiu Pavilion Master Master.
"Master is resting, I'll clean up today." Jiang Mubai replied as he made a sweeping motion with a broom, and the broom spike swept across the floor as clean as new, failing to pick up a little dust.
"Senior Brother Jiang, congratulations!" The outer disciples clasped their hands into fists.
Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”
The outer disciple smiled: "I've been in the beginner for some years, and I've never seen Senior Brother Shi and Senior Brother Shi sweeping the floor. ”
The implication is that this broom is already a token of the identity of the leader, like a dog beating stick of the beggars.
Thinking of the rumors that Xu Qiansuan said, Jiang Mubai knew it in his heart, but he couldn't bring up the joy. He didn't think it was a good thing, because he was hiding a shocking secret, and sooner or later he would be caught up in the storm whirlpool, facing the power that his master and brother couldn't resist.
Moreover, the two senior brothers have not been affirmed by the master for many years, and they have booked the position of the hall owner not long after they came, if there is a gap between the senior brothers because of this, it will be more than worth the loss for Jiang Mubai. Fortunately, Shi Shan and Shi Guangwen are not narrow-minded people, so there should be no bloody plot from this.
Congratulations from the junior brother of the outer door, Jiang Mubai should not be either, should not be, so he had to wave a broom and make a joke: "Today it is my turn to sweep the floor, you hurry up and practice morning exercises, who dares to be lazy, be careful that I sweep him out of the house." ”
Several outer disciples didn't even dare to say anything, and entered the door laughing.
Seeing them walk into the practice room to accept Senior Brother Shi's exercises, Jiang Mubai shook his head and smiled, opened the "Mountain Splitting Stick Method" handed to him by the master, recited words in his mouth, moved back and forth with his hands, and practiced the mountain splitting stick method with a broom according to the map in the book.
An hour later, the martial arts arena opened, and the martial arts boys and target masters came one after another.
Shi Shan didn't know where he was, Shi Guangwen was teaching the children boxing in the yard, Jiang Mubai leaned on the door frame and watched, and after a while, he saw an acquaintance.
From afar, Jiang Mubai waved to Liu Longhu: "Brother Liu, long time no see." ”
After entering the inner door of the Juying Pavilion, Jiang Mubai no longer set foot in the martial arts arena, and the practice room was only used by the disciples in the door.
Although they are all in the Juying Pavilion, only separated by a wall, Jiang Mubai has never seen Liu Longhu since the apprenticeship banquet.
Liu Longhu was still in the same white practice uniform, followed by a middle-aged man with a panicked expression, and the two of them hurriedly walked to the door of the Juying Pavilion.
"You go in first, go to the martial arts arena, and enter the door on the right hand side." Liu Longhu pressed the middle-aged man's left shoulder, pushed him into the door without saying anything, and then turned his head and smiled bitterly at Jiang Mubai, "I haven't seen you for a while, how are you?" Oh, you're ...... Congratulations, congratulations! ”
It can be heard that Liu Longhu is sincerely happy for Jiang Mubai, but he doesn't know if he is congratulating him on picking up a broom or congratulating him on opening his nose.
"Brother Liu, who was that just now?" Jiang Mubai deliberately diverted the topic.
"He's, tsk, I get a headache when I mention him. That's my cousin, who is lazy all day, and recently got a gambling addiction and is in debt. The lender chased after it, the Wang family's account room, and the mother also brought a fat man who was very good at fighting. Liu Longhu said two words, felt embarrassed, and couldn't help sighing.
The Ye family of the Wang family has strong financial resources, and they can be called extremely rich when they look at Dingwu, and even the Wang family's family can be domineering on weekdays, not to mention that it is second only to the bookkeeper of the bookkeeper? Even if this matter is called to the police, the police station will not dare to take care of it, and if it is not good, it will detain Liu Longhu's brother and send it to the Wang family.
In desperation, Liu Longhu had no choice but to take his cousin to the Juying Pavilion for refuge, the Wang family did not have a third-realm monk, and he did not dare to spread wild in the territory of the Qiu Pavilion Master, he thought that he had been mixed in the Juying Pavilion for a few years, and the Qiu Pavilion Master would not stop him when he saw his familiar face, and the outer disciples who were responsible for supervising the martial arts performance would also sell face.
Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Mubai who was standing at the door sweeping the floor today, Liu Longhu was ashamed, his cheeks were red and hot, and he was flustered.
Jiang Mubai stepped out of the door and looked at it for a moment, and said to Liu Longhu: "If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime." ”
Liu Longhu sighed: "Hide for a while, and then think of a way, now let him be arrested by the people of the Wang family, and it will be difficult for people to be crippled." I don't want to care about him, and I can't ignore him, hey! ”
"Brother Liu, you can also go in and rest, it's okay, I'll stop people when they come." Jiang Mubai never meddles with things, but his friend's business can't be regarded as a nosy, when Liu Longhu learned that he killed Ye Nanfeng's saber-toothed dog, he immediately went to get 50,000 yuan for him to run away, and now Liu Longhu is in difficulty, how can he stand by and watch.
"Hey, thanks!" Liu Longhu was not hypocritical, thanked him and crossed the threshold, speeding up his pace and walking into the martial arts arena.
Jiang Mubai just put away "The Method of Splitting the Mountain Stick", and there were two more people in front of the door, one was forty or fifty years old, wearing a long coat, a melon skin hat, and gold-wire round-framed reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. The other looked to be in his thirties, fat as a large ball, less than 1.7 meters tall, and weighed more than 300 pounds.
Liu Longhu is right, the fat man brought by Mr. Wang's bookkeeper can indeed fight, and just with his body size, which is more exaggerated than a sumo wrestler, he can overwhelm the outer disciples of Juyingguan.
"Master Jiang, you're early." The bookkeeper smiled kindly and arched his hand, "Contemptible Wang Erfa, come to talk to the Liu brothers about some business and borrow light." ”
On the night of the apprenticeship banquet, Mr. Wang did not attend, but sent Mr. Bookkeeper, that is, this Wang Erfa, to Shihailou to give gifts, so Wang Erfa recognized Jiang Mubai at a glance.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Mubai raised his wrist very unceremoniously and blocked the broom spike in front of Wang Erfa's legs, "Mr. Wang, your shoes are not clean, so you can't enter the door." ”
"Master Jiang said that he was joking, how could Wang's newly bought shoes not be clean." Wang Erfa retracted the foot he had just raised, and said with a smile, "It's that Liu Longfei, who just ran out of the rotten gambling stall like a pit, I'm afraid it will dirty your ground here." ”
"Don't bother Mr. Wang, Juying Pavilion never welcomes uninvited guests." Jiang Mu didn't smile and swept the ground.
Wang Erfa's face was a little unbearable, but he didn't dare to offend Jiang Mubai, and hesitantly heard the person behind him say: "Second master, what are you talking about with the sweeping nonsense." ”
Wang Erfa's expression changed suddenly, and he was about to shout, when the big meat ball standing behind him had already rushed towards Jiang Mubai with a strong wind.
