In February, the snow on Jinyangcheng Road melted a lot, and the crowd on the road was wearing new clothes and preparing to welcome the new year.

Hongyuelou's business has also slowly begun to pick up from the off-season in January, and the business volume is also rising steadily.

There are many mountains and rivers in Shuzhou, coupled with the snow, every year in January when the snow is at its highest, the entire city is almost in a state of hibernation, and even the nearby caravans have to wait until the snow melts a little before setting off again.

After a month's time, Liu Xiao's innate double cultivation was more consolidated, which was also counted as his accumulation, from the innate one to the second one so fast, if the average person was fast, it would be a year, and the slow would be several years before he could advance to the cultivation of the first heaven.

Those who are not talented enough, such as that Fang La, are only born with five layers when they are middle-aged.

But in this Jianghu, any innate master is basically a little famous, and he has no worries about food and clothing, and in some small gangs, he belongs to the leader level.

As soon as Liu Xiao finished practicing at noon every day, he heard Sister Hongyue's shout outside, "Liu Xiao! Liu Xiao! ”

Hearing Sister Hongyue's anxious voice, Liu Xiao walked straight to the door, pushed open the door, and looked at Sister Hongyue who was panting.

As soon as he took a breath, don't listen to Sister Hongyue's anxious words: "Liu Xiao, that, that, the white-haired man came again last time, and it was in room No. 1." ”

Liu Xiao frowned, and said secretly: "Could it be that this Fang La is relying on the fact that there is a deputy city lord behind him, and this time he is here to find fault?" ”

Gently patting Sister Hongyue's shoulder, Liu Xiao said softly: "Sister Hongyue, don't worry, you rest in the house, I'll go and meet him." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the building.

As soon as Liu Xiao arrived outside the door of Room No. 1, he heard Fang La's voice coming from inside the house, "Brother Liu, please come in!" ”

Liu Xiao pushed the door out, but saw Fang La standing at the table, the table was full of wine and food, looking at himself with a smile, although he was surprised, he didn't say anything, just looked at Fang La quietly.

Fang Wax saw Liu Xiao enter the door, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Brother Liu, I didn't come this time to find trouble, but I have a plan to discuss with Brother Liu." ”

Liu Xiao was bored, not knowing which one this person was singing, closed the door and sat on the chair, and asked, "I don't know what advice Senior Fang has." ”

Fang La saw Liu Xiaoken sit down and talk, her heart was happy, she picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Xiao: "Last time, my brother offended me, and I will punish myself for this glass." ”

After speaking, Fang La drank it all.

The more Liu Xiao looked, the more he didn't understand what this person was going to do, so he didn't wait for him to ask questions.

Fang La hurriedly said: "Brother, the last time I saw it, it was really impressive, in fact, I had long wanted to come and talk to my brother, but this snow was falling, I came from Zhushan, the road was really not easy to walk, it was too late." ”

Liu Xiao was confused when she heard this, she was already impatient in her heart, and said coldly: "Senior Fang, I'm a straight person, let's talk about something, and solve it if there's a problem." ”

"Hey, what's the problem, I'm admiring Brother Liu."

Liu Xiao's head was about to explode when she heard this, but she didn't expect this person to be so verbose.

Just as he was about to attack, Fang La suddenly said, "Brother Liu, I don't know if you have heard of the Zhushan Gang?" ”

Liu Xiao pretended not to know, and asked rhetorically, "Zhushan Gang? Ignorance! ”

Fang La's face was embarrassed, and he forced a smile: "Hehe, brother, I am the second leader of the Zhushan Gang, of course, the Zhushan Gang is not a big sect, and it is normal for my brother not to hear of it." ”

"But!" As soon as the conversation changed, Fang La continued: "Our Zhushan Gang is no better than other small gangs, we have a big backer behind us, and even the Qinglian Sword Sect generally doesn't dare to provoke us." ”

"Oh?" Liu Xiao squeezed out a look of shock on his face, and asked, "Didn't Senior Fang say big things?" ”

Fang La saw that Liu Xiao didn't believe it, and said solemnly: "If my Fang La deceives Brother Liu, he will hit five thunderbolts every day." ”

This is a very heavy vow, but no one who believes in cause and effect will swear by it.

Liu Xiao's face softened, "Hey, why did Senior Fang say such heavy things, I believe it's not okay." ”

Fang La saw Liu Xiao's slight letter, and continued: "Brother Liu, I won't tell you, I came this time to recruit you into our Zhushan Gang, I don't know how much silver taels this Hongyue Mansion will give you to work for in January." ”

Before Liu Xiao could answer, Fang La sighed, "Brother Liu, you have entered the innate at such an age, and being a thug here is really condescending, brother, I really can't stand it." ”

Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this person to want to recruit An, and was about to refuse, but his heart moved, and he replied: "Senior Fang, my Hongyue Building is 300 taels of silver a month, and I live freely, different girls accompany me every day, I don't know what is the benefit of my predecessors letting me go to Zhushan Gang?" ”

Hearing Liu Xiao ask, Fang La was ecstatic in his heart, this was clearly a play, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Liu, it's not my brother who said you, a good man is determined to defend the country, not to mention protecting the family and defending the country, at least he has a clear conscience, we are all martial arts in the rivers and lakes, although we have to eat and beg for a living, but who doesn't want to go further, don't talk about the martial saint, just say the realm of the martial king, that is the height that many people dream of."

"How can you cultivate well in this Fengyue place?"

"Besides, it's just 300 taels of silver, if Brother Liu goes to Zhushan with me, I guarantee that your monthly income will be at least 1,000 taels of silver."

"1,000 taels?" Liu Xiao exclaimed.

"Yes, it's more than 1,000 taels, if Brother Liu behaves well, and when the time comes, the master will pass on the experience of being promoted to the Martial King to you, then Brother Liu won't be both financial and martial?" Fang La's words revealed temptation all the time.

At this time, Fang La suddenly lowered his voice, "Brother Liu, I can't say who is behind us, but if you are favored by the adult behind you, you will basically be the one who stands at the top of a state in your life." ”

Money, martial arts, power, and the three major desires of the Jianghu people were all used by Fang La.

As the third leader of the Zhushan Gang, Fang La's means of winning people's hearts are naturally not low, and at Liu Xiao's age, Fang La has complete confidence that he can take down Liu Xiao.

If ordinary people had been taken down a long time ago, Liu Xiao was not an ordinary person, so he pretended to be moved and said: "I am very moved by the sincere invitation of Senior Fang, but I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have been taught martial arts by my master since I was a child, but I don't know if my master was hunted down by the enemy, I don't know if I was taken in by this Hongyue Building, although it is a Qinglou, but I have feelings after a long time, I don't know if Senior Fang can allow me to think for a few days?" ”

Since Fang La is so sincere, Liu Xiao naturally can't hide it too much, embellish it a little, and tell her miserable life experience.

However, when I heard these words in Fang La's ears, it was completely different, and the meaning was: "I, Liu Xiao, have an innocent background, have no worries, and am alone." ”

Fang La had actually inquired about Liu Xiao before he came, and when he saw that what Liu Xiao said was real-time and not deceitful, he was very sure in his heart, and he had the heart to recover.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Fang La's eyes rolled and said: "Brother Liu, when I first heard about your life experience, my brother was also very uncomfortable, why don't you do this, I'll give you seven days to think about it, and my brother will come here after seven days to wait for you to reply?" ”

Liu Xiao pretended to be moved, her voice trembled slightly, and she bowed her hand and said: "My brother is really righteous, let my brother think about it for a few days, and there will be an answer in seven days." ”

When Fang La heard that his title had changed from "senior" to "brother", he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly poured wine for Liu Xiao, and then eat, drink, talk and laugh.
