Chapter 204: Fei Xiang Gives Advice
Ximen Shan was in a hurry to get out, so he was naturally unwilling to wait so long. The more they delay, the more danger Wu Zetian may encounter!
Ximen Shan said categorically: "No. The only time I can give you to think about it is today, and I will give us an answer early tomorrow morning. We'll be back right away and wait for good news. After speaking, Ximen Shan immediately got up and prepared to leave.
Li Zhen didn't say anything more, and got up to send him off. As soon as Ximen Mountain arched his hand, he turned around and left, followed by Luo Chuan and Feixiang. The boat gang glared angrily, intending to attack, but was stopped by Li Zhen waving his hand,
Seeing that the three of Ximen Mountain walked out of the hall and came outside. Luo Chuan let out a scream, and the Flying Eagle galloped over, followed by three unridden horses.
In the blink of an eye, the flying eagle and the three horses arrived in front of the three of Ximen Mountain. The three of them flew up, and together with the flying eagles, they whipped their horses and left the main hall of the boat gang.
The four of them rode their horses and galloped for a while, and when they saw that no one was chasing after them, they slowed down and walked slowly. Feiying asked Luo Chuan what the result of the discussion was. Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said it briefly.
Feiying glanced at Feixiang and said, "Third sister, I didn't expect you to ask them to compensate so much!" Didn't we say at the beginning that we only needed five hundred taels of gold? ”
Feixiang smiled slightly: "I also made a temporary decision." Just now I felt that this Li Zhen seemed to lack the confidence to speak, so I wanted to take the opportunity to deceive him. Originally, I thought that if we asked for a sky-high price, they would definitely have to pay it back on the spot. But later, Li Zhen didn't dare to do it, and it was obvious that he was weak-hearted, so I insisted on it. ”
Luo Chuan asked again: "Do you think they will promise to compensate for such a large amount of gold?" ”
Fei Xiang affirmed, "I think they will agree!" ”
Ximen Shan asked in surprise: "Three girls, how can you be so sure?" ”
Feixiang said: "Grandpa, you don't know, I have been carefully observing Li Zhen's expression just now. I can already see that, judging by his personal thoughts, he will not agree. But he never dared to turn his face with us, indicating that he must have been ordered by someone else. He didn't dare to disobey, so he could only swallow his anger. ”
Luo Chuan thought for a while and said, "Feixiang's analysis is very reasonable, but I think that after I go back, I still have to be vigilant." Although Li Zhen showed weakness today, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not intentional. These people are insidious and vicious, and they can do anything. ”
Feixiang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle Xiao is reasonable, we really can't take it lightly. It is also possible that they are deliberately paralyzing us in order to find our flaws. We'd better hurry back so that everyone doesn't worry. ”
Ximen Shan looked up at the sun above him, it was almost noon. He remembered that Hongxing had said that if he hadn't seen them go back in the afternoon, he would go to ask the martial arts hall to come to the boat to help dignitaries.
Ximen Shan didn't want to make a fuss, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, let's go back quickly!" With that, he whipped his horse and galloped. Suddenly, the four of them galloped away like arrows from the string.
Soon, the four of them returned to Peach Blossom Village. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Hongxing and others looking forward to it. It turned out that after the four of Ximen Mountain left, Hongxing was very worried.
Seeing that noon is approaching, the four people of Ximen Mountain have not returned. Hongxing was restless, so she took everyone to the entrance of the village to wait. They were relieved to see the four people from Ximen Mountain appear from a distance.
The four of Ximen Mountain came to everyone's eyes, turned over and dismounted, Hongxing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liu Ximen's predecessor Feixiang girl and the two young heroes, nothing happened, right?" ”
Ximen Shan smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. He, nothing happened. It's just a verbal battle with them. ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and the four of them returned to He's house with Ximen Mountain. After entering the hall and waiting for everyone to sit down, Luo Chuan recounted in detail what happened in the boat gang.
After hearing this, Hongxing was grateful, and said with some complaint: "Four, as long as they promise not to come and disturb us, it is enough. Why do you need their reparations to put you in such danger? If something happens, we're dead. ”
Ximen Shan was extremely moved and said, "Thank you for your concern. For the sake of the future of our villages, we have to do so. ”
Hongxing was a little stunned and asked, "Senior Ximen, what do you mean by this?" ”
Luo Chuan smiled and told Hongxing. The reason why they do this naturally has a deep meaning. If you easily agree to make peace with them, there is no guarantee that they will not repeat their old tricks. This time, the Ximen Shan family just wanted them to understand that they had done evil things and they must be punished.
Simon's family didn't want to make a big move, but they had to make them feel distressed. In this way, if they want to think rashly in the future, they will have to think about the consequences. These people are fierce and cruel, and they don't remember to eat.
Besides, so many people were killed in the village, leaving behind many old and weak women and children, and life will naturally be very difficult in the future. And many people's houses have been destroyed and need to be rebuilt. These all cost money. My Simon family has decided to do so, hoping to do a little bit for the villagers.
When Hongxing heard this, she was naturally grateful. She then asked, "Luo Shaoxia, then what should we do next?" ”
Luo Chuan didn't reply, and glanced at Feixiang. Feixiang understood, and immediately said, "Mrs. He, on the way back, we discussed it. I think there are a couple of things that should be done right away. ”
Hongxing hurriedly asked Feixiang to come with her one by one, so that she didn't have any worries. Feixiang immediately told Hongxing, first of all, as mentioned before, each village should hire a person with strong martial arts as the head of the sect to enhance the strength of each village.
Secondly, it is necessary to build a beacon tower so that we can help each other. In addition, it is necessary to set up lookouts along the river and at some critical places, and arrange for people to be stationed. That way, you can know as soon as possible that someone is coming, so you don't get caught off guard. The last point is to increase the contact with the major famous families in Nanyang.
Zheng Lang asked suspiciously: "Feixiang, girl, since the boat gang wants to make peace, they shouldn't come to harass them again in the future." Is it still necessary for us to do this? After all, it takes money and effort for each village to do these things well. ”
Fei Xiang sighed and said, "Although the Boat Gang took the initiative to propose peace talks, it is difficult to guarantee that they are not paralyzing us. If you want to stay safe from being bullied in the future, it's best to be vigilant at all times. ”
Luo Chuan also said: "At present, they are proposing peace talks, and there is no clear answer. Therefore, we should still be prepared for emergencies. ”
Hong Xing immediately said: "What Luo Shaoxia said is extremely true. Tomorrow after we have buried the slain folks, we will start building. It's just that we haven't found a suitable head coach yet, and the matter of improving our skills can only be postponed for the time being. ”
As soon as Hong Xing finished speaking, Luo Chuan hurriedly said Isn't there a martial artist in the martial arts hall? With the relationship between Hongxing and Zheng Lang, Zhao Zheng will definitely give priority to arranging the best martial artist to be in charge of Peach Blossom Village.
It turned out that yesterday's battle in the barren mountains had already alarmed every family in the vicinity. Each village has already discussed and invited two or three martial arts masters to teach martial arts. For a while, there will be not enough martial artists in the martial arts hall.
Hongxing had no choice but to leave Zhao Zheng to the martial arts master of her own village and sent other save. Zhao Zheng and Zheng Lang admired Hongxing's character very much, and the two promised that Hongxing would find someone to come to Peach Blossom Village as soon as possible. Before there was a suitable person, Lu Mei and Zheng Bai were temporarily taught martial arts. Lu Mei and Zheng Bai have good martial arts, and everyone has no opinion.
Luo Chuan nodded, and asked again, "Mrs. He, did the captives make trouble?" ”
Hong Xing smiled slightly and said, "They are all honest, no one makes trouble!" ”
Luo Chuan said, "Madam, let's go about our own business!" ”
Hongxing nodded and motioned for Chunyu and the others to retreat. Chunyu was honest and obedient and went as ordered. Qiushuang ran over and asked Feiying and Mei Feixiang to teach her martial arts.
Feixiang immediately said: "Sister Qiushuang, I want to take care of my grandfather." It's okay to let the second brother accompany you to practice, he is much better than me. ”
Feiying glanced at Luo Chuan, and when he saw Luo Chuan nodding in agreement, he went to the martial arts training ground in the front yard with Qiushuang.
After Hongxing talked to Ximen Mountain and Luo Chuan for a while, she was afraid that it would affect Ximen Mountain's rest, so she asked everyone to disperse and not disturb the Ximen family.
After a while, Luo Chuan came to the front yard and saw that on the martial arts training ground, Qiushuang was practicing boxing with Feiying.
Luo Chuan walked over and said, "It's okay now, we might as well practice together!" ”
Qiushuang was overjoyed and said, "Brother Luo, why don't you teach me!" ”
Luo Chuan nodded and asked, "How did you practice the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship that taught you last time?" ”
Qiu Shuang said triumphantly: "It's already ripe!" ”
Luo Chuan asked her to rehearse it for herself. Qiu Shuang agreed, and immediately raised his sword and waved it on the martial arts training ground. Suddenly, the sword light flashed, and Qiu Shuang swayed freely, and he had indeed been practiced, but because of the lack of internal strength, the power of the sword move could not be exerted.
After Qiushuang finished practicing, Luo Chuan praised her a few words, and then asked Feiying and Qiushuang to practice, and he pointed out on the side. At this moment, Hongxing and Dongxue came over, and when they saw Luo Chuan teaching Qiushuang to practice swords, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Dongxue came to Luo Chuan and said, "Brother Luo, you can't favor one over the other, and only teach Sister Qiushuang martial arts." ”
Luo Chuan said with a smile: "What did Sister Dongxue say, it was just a whim, and she didn't call you." In this way, I will let Qiushuang pass on this swordsmanship to you. Autumn Frost Girl, you can teach this set of swordsmanship to your sisters as well! ”
Qiu Shuang agreed, and immediately took Dong Xue aside, and passed the Luo family's introductory swordsmanship to Dong Xue one by one.
Seeing this, Hong Xing hurriedly bowed to Luo Chuan and said, "Luo Shaoxia not only helped us deal with strong enemies, but also taught such exquisite swordsmanship, I really don't know how to thank you!" ”
Luo Chuan bowed his hand and saluted back: "Mrs. He, don't be so polite, it will be too outward." ”
Hong Xing smiled slightly and said, "In this case, if Liu Shaoxia is willing, please give these girls a few more tricks." Of course, when I have some free time, I would like to ask you for some advice. ”
Luo Chuan replied: "There is naturally no problem with this. They have good qualifications and are good materials for martial arts. It's just that at present, their internal strength is insufficient, and the power of swordsmanship cannot be fully exerted. ”
