Zhang Fang did not rush to answer Qiao Feng's question, but stretched his waist unhurriedly, looked out along the window on the side, and just saw two children surrounding a candy seller's stall, and their father took out a few copper plates from his arms to pay the bill with a helpless and doting expression.

Seeing this scene full of human feelings, he couldn't help but sketch a smile at the corner of his mouth, then turned around, looked at Qiao Feng again and asked, "Qiao Daxia should not think that the heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered in Juxian Village today are all coming for you, right?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Fang corrected very seriously: "Among the heroes, at least more than seventy percent came to participate in this hero conference for the sake of Doctor Xue's face. It doesn't matter to them whether you are Han or Khitan, good or bad, but it is very important for them to be able to meet Doctor Xue and have the opportunity to make friends with him at this conference......"

Zhang Fang briefly explained the interests of most of the participants in the Hero Conference, and then added: "These people don't want to fight with you in their hearts, and what they lack is just an excuse." And the fire I set just gave them an excuse, it was much safer than fighting with a top master like you, of course, to participate in the firefighting. ”

After a slight pause, he added: "Anyway, the matter of fighting fires is also bright and just, and no one can say that it is wrong for them to help fight fires afterwards." ”

Hearing Zhang Fang's reasonable analysis, Qiao Feng completely believed that his motive for setting the fire was completely out of good intentions. Thinking of his previous misunderstanding and ridicule of him, a sense of guilt arises spontaneously.

[Qiao Feng's favorability towards you is on, and the current favorability is 20 points (general acquaintance). 】

Hearing the system prompt that the favorability increased, Zhang Fang smiled slightly, and then continued to himself: "In addition to these seventy percent, there are two percent of heroes who come for fame. In their opinion, the two eminent monks of Shaolin Xuan and Xuan Lin participated in this hero conference, and they also came to participate, and if they round it off, they have a status similar to that of Shaolin Xuan and Xuan Lone. ”

"Of course they won't miss this kind of face-showing, and even fight hard with you, as long as the odds are big enough, it's not unacceptable. But ......"

Speaking of this, he opened the corner of his mouth and picked up: "Most of the seven adults before ran to fight the fire, and the odds of winning were suddenly small, so they naturally didn't want to die in your hands, so they could only go to fight the fire together." ”

"These two kinds of people have all gone to put out the fire, nine out of ten heroes, and you have no chance of winning in the remaining pairs, so you can only choose to die down."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fang's eyes fell calmly on Qiao Feng: "And with Qiao Daxia's character, even if you save people's hearts, you can't do anything to rob while the fire is hot." ”

"In this way, although my fire cannot defuse this battle, it can at least delay it for a day and a half. With this buffer, there is an opportunity to solve the problem. ”

He spread his hands: "That's all my motivation for setting the fire." ”

Zhang Fang's attitude was extremely sincere, and his analysis was meticulous, so that Qiao Feng couldn't help but look at him impressed. However, he still had one more thing to understand, so he asked, "I remember not seeing you before, but you seem to know me very well." ”

Here it comes!

Zhang Fang knew that the other foreshadowing he had planted before had finally come into play. So he looked at the sky outside the window, and seemed to fall into some kind of memory: "There is an old man who has mentioned you to me more than once, saying that you are not only extremely talented in martial arts, but also chivalrous and extremely capable, and you are a pillar of the martial arts that is rare to see in a hundred years." ”

When Qiao Feng heard this, he immediately realized something, and asked with a somewhat nervous expression: "Your "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descent" was also taught by that old man, right?" ”

Zhang Fang's expression was stunned, and he immediately retracted his gaze and said: "That old man thinks I'm too stupid, and I haven't been able to get started after practicing the palm technique for half a month, so I am not allowed to mention him to others, let alone reveal that he has passed on my martial arts." ”

"Qiao Daxia is broad-minded, and he doesn't want to force me to be a villain who doesn't believe in his word, right?"

Zhang Fang was very secretive about the old man in his mouth, but Qiao Feng already had a guess in his heart.

Who in the world not only understands "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", but also knows him Qiao Feng so deeply?

Except for his mentor, Wang Jiantong, the former leader of the Beggar Gang, he doesn't think about it at all!

Even the reason for Wang Jiantong's "You Tanzhi" palm technique, Qiao Feng has already figured it out.

It must be because of Qiao Feng's life experience, although Wang Jiantong is very important to him, he is always at ease. So when I went out on a certain occasion, I met this thoughtful "You Tanzhi", and after some contact, I became more and more fond of him, so I decided to pass on his "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", as a substitute for Qiao Feng, so as not to have an accident, the beggar gang would break off the inheritance.

It's a pity that this "You Tanzhi" has passed all aspects of his temperament, thinking, ability, etc., but his martial arts talent is not flattering.

Therefore, after Wang Jiantong only passed on his palm technique, he gave up his original idea, not only did he no longer teach the palm technique, but he was not allowed to disclose the matter to others.

In this way, under Qiao Feng's own brain, Zhang Fang not only saved the trouble of explaining the source of the palm technique, but also deepened the relationship between them.

If you change to a narrow-minded person, you may be dissatisfied and disgusted with Zhang Fang, an existence that may replace you.

But Qiao Feng won't!

After he figured out another layer of Zhang Fang's identity, he looked at him again, and became a little more cordial than before.

It turns out that this young man is actually my long-lost little brother!

[Qiao Feng's favorability towards you has increased, and the current favorability is 30 points (gentlemen's friends). 】

Under Zhang Fang's mouth, Qiao Feng's favorability towards him changed from minus 10 points at the beginning to plus 30 points. Feeling speculative, he even dragged him to the first floor of the inn, and after ordering wine and meat, he talked with him freely.

During this period, Zhang Fang refused to drink with him because he needed to think about ways to resolve the conflict, and Qiao Feng didn't mind, so he drank by himself and continued to talk with Zhang Fang, who didn't drink at all.

Zhang Fang also took this opportunity to continue to hide, relying on his understanding of the original plot and Qiao Feng's character, every seemingly casual sentence can scratch the itch of the other party. After a while, the opponent's favorability was brushed to 40 points. However, this 40 points of favorability seems to be the limit of the mouth escape effect, and no matter how hard Zhang Fang tries after that, he can't make this number improve again.

This situation is somewhat unexpected, but it is also reasonable. It's like in reality, a person will have a crush on someone because they have a speculative conversation, but it is extremely difficult to get others to pour out their hearts and lungs about you by playing tricks.

Seeing that the favorability has been brushed by himself, Zhang Fang is not entangled in the gains and losses of this favorability. Instead, he decisively changed the topic and took the initiative to ask about the specific process of the beggar gang meeting in the apricot forest, as well as the question of Qiao Feng's movements after the apricot forest.

With 40 favorability points as the basis, Qiao Feng, who is on the rise, has to answer all questions. The various experiences he had during the period from the beginning of the Apricot Forest Conference to the time when he came to Juxianzhuang for medical treatment were all recounted one by one. Among them, only the part related to Azhu's disguise into Shaolin was hidden, and the rest of the content was explained in great detail.

In general, Qiao Feng's experience is almost exactly the same as the description in the original book, and there are no obvious changes like in Juxian Village.

After Zhang Fang listened to Qiao Feng's story, he frowned and pondered without saying a word. The index finger of the right hand resting on the table, rhythmically tapping the tabletop, is a completely meaningless subconscious act.

Seeing Zhang Fang like this, Qiao Feng, who had just poured a big sip of wine, couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Looking at Brother You's appearance, didn't you think of something?" ”

As the favorability continues to rise, Qiao Feng's title of "Brother You" is becoming more and more pleasant.

"There's a problem! And it's a big problem! Zhang Fang finally stopped tapping on the left, met Qiao Feng's gaze and said: "According to what Qiao Daxia said, at the Apricot Forest Conference, your suspicion of killing Deputy Ma's gang leader cannot be said to have been completely cleared, but at least it cannot be confirmed." ”

"But in the mouths of those who came to Juxianzhuang to participate in the Heroes Conference, your killing of Deputy Ma's gang leader has become an established fact, and no one has raised any doubts about it."

When Qiao Feng heard this, his face couldn't help but darken: "Brother You thinks I'm lying." ”

"I feel like there's someone behind this!" Zhang quietly transported the immortal holy qi to his eyes, and suddenly his eyes flashed, as if they were full of wisdom: "I feel that behind this incident, there seems to be an invisible big hand that is promoting the holding of this Juxianzhuang Hero Conference. ”

"It's definitely a conspiracy, a conspiracy against you!"

Qiao Feng's heart froze: "Brother You, in your opinion, is it possible that the mastermind behind this incident is the same person as the murderer who killed my adoptive parents and Master Xuanku, my mentor?" ”

This is a bit of a big problem, and it also involves a strong enemy that he will definitely not be able to deal with at the moment.

How dare Zhang Fang climb the pole on this issue?

So he hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's too early to connect the two." However, I believe that as long as we can find out the mastermind behind the promotion of the Hero Conference, it is expected that the martial arts endgame of tomorrow will be dissolved invisibly! ”
