Chapter 81 Xingwu Jinbao

Bazhou Xingwu can be regarded as one of the few big restaurants on the boundary of Bazhou, and merchants from the north and south like to gather here, not because of anything else, but because there is a unique cloud-piercing hall here. Every day, there are people from the north and south who practice martial arts, for this heavy reward of gold and silver, sign a life and death certificate, and fight desperately in the ten-zhang high ring, and those merchants from the north and south will drink and gamble on the restaurant next to the ring. The lives of these martial arts practitioners are like a piece of tissue paper here, and at least ten or more martial arts practitioners who use their lives to eat die under the ring every day, but it is strange that the government turns a blind eye to this situation.

The boss of Xingwu is named Long Jinbao, a native of Longchuan, Guangdong, and his family's surname claims to have forgotten jì, so he borrowed the dragon character of Longchuan as his surname and took the name of Jinbao. Six years ago, he came to Bazhou alone, and with a superb iron cloth shirt and the iron fist of the southern Shaolin, he made a world in this area, and was nicknamed the Southern Dragon King. After that, with the help of a wealthy businessman, he built this Xingwu embrace, and with his eight-sided exquisite means of communication, the officials and people of Bazhou were very satisfied with it, so that no one stopped him from building such an unruly and dangerous cloud-piercing ring, and even if someone died afterwards, someone excused him, making him gradually become the first leader of the black and white forces in Bazhou.

Others don't know the details of Long Jinbao, but Xu Changqing knows very well that he was originally an outcast in the 36th room outside South Shaolin, but later because he provoked a life lawsuit, he was forced to fall into the grass and become a bandit. In the days when he was a thief, what he did was also considered a righteous thief, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those who were rich and unkind were robbed, but the common people did not move at all, and in the event of a natural disaster**, they would give the robbed silver to the people. Due to the fact that the local people were covering it, every time the governor of Liangguang sent troops to encircle and suppress it, it was not fruitful.

Later, one of Long Jinbao's cadres robbed the Chen family of food used for disaster relief, which annoyed the Chen family, and that night he took out a hall outside the mountain and captured the cadre. Long Jinbao, a native of the village, naturally knew a little bit of the power of the Chen family, and after learning about this, he rushed to Chen Jiachong non-stop, took the guilt, and was willing to be punished for the cadre as the head of the cottage, only asking Chen Deshang to spare the cadre and other people in the cottage. Seeing his righteousness, Chen Deshang spared him this time, but the death penalty forgave the living crime and could not escape, and beat him with fifty boards, and the executioner of these fifty boards was Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing also felt that although this person was not benevolent, he was extremely righteous and dared to take responsibility, so he raised the mind to create him. With fifty boards full of true yuan, temper his foreign iron cloth shirt, make his miraculous achievements, and then point him to tell him where his luck is prosperous. Long Jinbao also after receiving the board, he guessed that Xu Changqing was a strange person from his iron cloth shirt, so he treated him as a teacher, and immediately obeyed Xu Changqing's orders after going back, disbanded all the bandits, and went north alone, and when he arrived in Bazhou, he stopped and settled here. After two years, after he had already made some achievements, every once in a while, he sent someone to send Xu Changqing a few boxes of rare and exotic objects that he had worked hard to collect to express his gratitude. Originally, Xu Changqing had no intention of coming to Bazhou to visit Long Jinbao, but the train stopped here by chance, which made him feel something, maybe God arranged this opportunity, so he had the idea of going to Xingwu to take a look.

Xingwu is not difficult to find, just find someone to ask, and it will be clear, and you can find it regardless of the highest wooden frame ring in the town. When Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng found Xingwu Hug, there were already gamblers and spectators around the wooden frame ring, and many merchants were sitting on the edge of the fence of the four-story building in Xingwuhug, shouting loudly. On the cloud piercing ring, there are two martial artists who are fighting to the death, one is using Cai Li Fo, which is common in the south, and the other is using the 37 roads in the north to bounce the legs, the skills of the two sides are not much different, and the fight is inseparable, and all the people under the ring are screaming to fall and fall.

"This is really too much, what do they think of human life?" Guan Zheng saw this scene, immediately clenched his fists, glared angrily, and said angrily.

"In these troubled times, human life is the least valuable thing. Xu Changqing saw that Guan Zheng wanted to go up to stir up the situation, so he grabbed him and stopped: "Don't come nonsense, this is not the countryside, there are many eagle dogs from the imperial court nearby." As he spoke, he pointed to the two people in the ring and said: "If you understand the method of contemplating appearances, you will see that both of them are angry and dead, if it is not really a matter of life and death, no one will come to fight this kind of death, and you rush forward rashly, which is undoubtedly cutting off their last way of life." Then he sighed and said: "Don't you think that Brother Guan is very similar to the people in this ring? All of them are at the moment of life and death, fighting to the death in order to fight for a glimmer of life, and now you have the ability to save them, and when it is our turn, who will come to save us?"

"Alas!" Guan Zheng let go of his fist in a slightly frustrated manner, sighed, and said, "Could it be that people under the avenue are like pigs and dogs?"

"Let's go!" Xu Changqing didn't speak, there were many things that Guan Zheng needed to experience by himself, so he patted Guan Zheng's shoulder and walked into Xingwu's arms.

After Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng walked in, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, although there are many people in Western clothes now, but there are not many people who can dress so decently. The guys in the restaurant have all developed a pair of snobbish eyes, and when they saw what Xu Changqing and the two were wearing, they knew how to treat them, and immediately greeted them and said, "Welcome, welcome, dare to ask you two if you want to stay in the hotel or eat and drink tea?"

"Let's drink tea!" Xu Changqing casually gave the guy a few pieces of broken silver and said, "Open a private room, or the kind that is not lively." ”

"Okay, please come with the little one. The man took the broken silver, smiled on his face, and hurriedly led Xu Changqing and Guan Zheng to the ** private room in the inner courtyard, and then ordered a few people to send some flowers and fruit snacks, make a pot of good tea, respectfully put it on the table, and whispered to Xu Changqing, who was sitting down, and asked: "Do you still need anything from the two masters?" Do you want to find two people who sing small songs to serve the two, or play two games in the gambling game outside?"

"No need! You go and talk to your boss, and say that the old man from the south has come to visit, and I hope to see him. Xu Changqing filled the teacup, took a small sip, and then said.

The guy was stunned for a moment, then regained his normal color, bowed his head and bent over, and said, "The little one is going to sue the boss, and the two of you sit slowly." ”

With that, he withdrew, and then heard him trotting out in the hallway.

"The guys here seem to have a good secular kung fu, it seems that this Xingwu is also a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden!" Guan Zheng listened to the footsteps of the guy when he left, and couldn't help but sigh, and then turned his head to Xu Changqing and asked: "How did the master know the master of this family?" To be honest, from what the master of this house did, Guan Mou can conclude that he is not good at stubble, and Guan Mou is indeed a little surprised that the master knows such a person with such a character?"

"I have made friends with characters from three religions and nine streams, and you may be surprised more and more in the future. Xu Changqing didn't give a positive answer, but just smiled indifferently.

Not long after, I heard a burst of heavy footsteps outside the door, one of which was slightly vague, it should have been the guy's, and the other had heavy footsteps, extremely solid in his work, and his breathing was steady and long, although he was slightly strong, but it also showed that he had a masculine kung fu. After the two arrived at the door, he waved his hand to let the guys leave, and then pushed them away and walked in, and when they came in and saw Xu Changqing sitting at the table, the whole person was stunned.

At this time, Guan Zhengcai saw the appearance of the restaurant owner, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I saw that the person who came was more than eight feet tall, stood up straight, his head was almost up to the threshold, a robe made of Jiangnan silk and satin felt awkward no matter how he looked at it, a face with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, how to look like a bandit, almost engraved on the face I am a bandit.

Just when Guan Zheng was guessing this person's previous occupation, he saw him plop, knelt in front of Xu Changqing, knocked his head three times in a row, and said respectfully: "Master is above, disciple Wang San kowtowed to Master!"

Xu Changqing shook his head a little helplessly, smiled and reached out to lift Long Jinbao up from the ground, and said, "Didn't I tell you back then? ”

"In the minds of my disciples, you will always be my Wang San's master. Long Jinbao looked at Xu Changqing with great respect and said undeniably.

"You can call it however you like!" Although Xu Changqing did not agree, he was not ready to completely break his mind, so he didn't dwell too much on this issue, and turned around and introduced: "This is Guan Zhengguan, the doorman of the Guan family, the exorcist family back then. As he spoke, he pointed at Long Jinbao and said, "This is the owner of the restaurant, Long Jinbao, whose real name is Wang San." ”

"Nobleman, really a great nobleman!" Long Jinbao stepped forward to salute Guan Zheng with a look of surprise and said: "The deeds of the thirty-eight righteous men of the Guan family who resisted the British and French coalition alone are still circulating among the people in the north, and everyone calls the thirty-eight predecessors as the six immortals, but I didn't expect it to be really a fairy lineage, Guan Daxia please accept Long Jinbao's worship!"

Long Jinbao's heartfelt respect for the ancestors of the Guan family made Guan Zheng's evil feelings against him fade a lot, although he still didn't have any good feelings, but his expression was no longer so blunt, and he raised his hand lightly and saluted: "I, Guan Zheng, am not a hero, and the dragon shopkeeper really needs to be polite." ”

Although Long Jinbao looks vulgar, but his heart is very fine, otherwise it would be impossible to open such a big restaurant here, he felt Guan Zheng's indifference to him very clearly, so he no longer bothered Guan Zheng, turned his head to Xu Changqing and said: "The apprentice was originally going to take the time to send some of the rare and exotic objects he found for the master this time after he was busy for this period of time, and since the master is here, he just took them away." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to call someone to pick up something, Xu Changqing immediately raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Don't be busy, you sit down!" I haven't seen you for six or seven years, and this time the train just stopped in Bazhou, so I came to see you and see how you were doing? ”

"I still want to thank you Master for your mention," Long Jinbao smiled, sat opposite Xu Changqing, and said: "In addition, I would like to thank the third master of the Chen family, when he heard that I was in Bazhou, he sent some of his subordinates to help the apprentice open up the situation, and also borrowed some money to open this restaurant for me, so that I can gain a foothold here." ”

"I see, no wonder you can get a foothold here so quickly, it turns out that the third child is helping you. Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and then pointed to the cloud-piercing ring that emerged from the roof of the front yard and said: "Since it has been mixed, is it necessary to set up such a domineering ring to borrow people's fierce spirit to make luck? It seems that you will be given this restaurant to set up a feng shui bureau and build yì you put down this person who pierces the clouds, and his heart is unpredictable!"

"And this kind of thing, no wonder the things that the apprentice has encountered recently are always a little uncomfortable, it turns out that the root cause is on this cloud-piercing ring, this damn Ding San actually dares to frame me, I must ...... later" Long Jinbao heard Xu Changqing's words, he was convinced, angry, and shouted to give the person who put down the feng shui bureau a good look, but after seeing Guan Zheng's face a little uncertain, he immediately calmed down, followed Guan Zheng's thoughts, and said to Xu Changqing: "Master, please rest assured, when this fight is over, the apprentice will immediately send someone to dismantle the ring." ”

"You can do this yourself!" Xu Changqing was noncommittal, took a sip of tea, and suddenly stared at Long Jinbao's face for a long time, frowned and said: "Jinbao, have you been in contact with people in the army recently, or have you been involved in some military things?"

"Master, how can you see that?" Long Jinbao's face was shocked, and then he regained his normal color, and said: "The apprentice did come into contact with a person from Tianjin a few days ago, he is the number one person under the Beiyang Sanjie Feng Guozhang Feng, and he is now the commander of the third town of Beiyang. Now that Yuan Shikai has stepped down, the Beiyang New Army is extremely chaotic, Feng Duan and the two have always been at odds, and now there is no control, both of them are expanding their power vigorously, Cao Kun is here to try to win me over, set up a supernumerary new army, and I will be the apprentice to be the new army leader. The apprentice hasn't made up his mind yet, should he listen to him? Now that the master is here, it's just right for me to solve my confusion?"

"Cao Kun?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How could he, a dignified leader who dominates the northeast, find you, the owner of a restaurant, to form a new army?
