Chapter 98

A pawn that is being taken advantage of

Seeing the master Yokoyama Shibei with his senior brother Yokoyama Jianshu and his sister Yokoyama Sakurako and Fang De came out of Fang's house together, Sada Hero suddenly had a big head, although he was very arrogant, empty-eyed, but for the master of Yokoyama Shibei, he still has a lot of respect, he was originally a baby abandoned by his parents, and he was abandoned at the door of the dojo of Yokoyama Shibei when he was born, Yokoyama Shibei not only adopted him, but also raised him to teach the arts, it can be said that Yokoyama Shibei is not only a debt in his heart, but also a fatherly existence, that kindness is higher than the sky for him, so although he has been arrogant and untamed since he was a child, but he still has great respect and fear for the Huangshan Ten Guards, even if the Hengshan Ten Guards let him die today, he will not have any hesitation, if he knows that the master, senior brother, and junior sister will all appear in the Fang family today, where would he dare to challenge Fang De today.

Although Hero Sada was a little afraid of Yokoyama Shibei, since he had encountered it, he still stepped forward and gave Yokoyama Shibei a disciple salute: "Disciple, Sada meets the master!"

For this disciple, Yokoyama Shibei is also quite a headache, when his apprentice is in Kyoto, he often challenges the various dojos, if it is just a normal skill to learn from each other, but the problem is that he is often very ruthless, once he starts, the other party seems to be his father-killing enemy, even if the martial arts are higher than him, he will be forced to be embarrassed, as for those whose martial arts are not as good as him, he will be beaten to the skin and swollen face, and he is often beaten to the bone and tendons, for this matter, the owners of other dojos have not come to the door to ask the master, fortunately, the dojos still give him the face of this is the first master of Fusang, and there is no deep investigation, just asked for some monetary compensation, because of this he locked up Sada Hero and was ready to teach him a hard lesson, but what he didn't expect was that his eldest daughter Chiyoko actually let Sada Hero go without him. If he has no feelings for this disciple, it is simply self-deception, even if you have a dog and have kept it for a long time, it is still emotional, let alone a person. So he also asked a friend in Japan to inquire about the whereabouts of this disciple, but he never heard any news about him, but only heard the grapevine that he came to Daqing on a Japanese merchant ship bound for Daqing, and what he didn't expect was that he met his disciple as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou.

For this disciple, Yokoyama Shibei felt fire in his heart, but the look on his face was still as usual: "....... Master, I heard people say, you followed the Japanese merchant ships to the Qing Dynasty, saying that you wanted to challenge the martial arts masters of the Qing Dynasty and break through the limits of your martial arts, why didn't you challenge your martial arts masters well, how did you come to the Fang family, the Fang family is not a martial arts family?"

Sada Hero's face was a little embarrassed: "Go back to the master......."

As soon as he called Master, the Ten Guards of Yokoyama had already inquired about him: "Master, forget it, haven't you already broken down the door, I can't afford your Master." ”

"Yes, Master," although Sata Hero agreed, his mouth did not change: "Master, you don't know, Prince Rong told me that the four streets are not as simple as they seem, although it seems that he is an ordinary long street, in fact, he is the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, master like a cloud, here even the uncle who carries water, the aunt who sells eggs, all have a body of martial arts, especially the head of the Fang family, Fang De is even more unfathomable, and is praised by Prince Rong as the first wise man in the Qing Dynasty." “

"Bastard," Yokoyama Shibei's face suddenly darkened, and his eyelids jumped with anger: "The first wise man in the world said that his way of doing business, and the wisdom in his mind, not martial arts, others respect him and obey, that's because of his virtue, you are a dignified Dongying samurai, looking for a businessman to compete, it is simply a shame on my Yokoyama Shibei." ”

Sada Hero explained: "Master, do you know, Prince Rong said, if Fang De knows martial arts, then he must be a top master, for this disciple is convinced, if he doesn't know martial arts, how can he suppress so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in four streets?"

"Bastard," Yokoyama Shibei was furious: "Ordinary people practice martial arts in order to have a strong physique and achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, and a cultivator practices martial arts in order to constantly break through the limitations of the body itself and reach a deeper level, what are you practicing martial arts for, is it just to be strong and ruthless? When you were in Kyoto, you had already caused me a lot of trouble, and now you actually threw people into the Qing Dynasty, you are really my good disciple." ”

Sada Hero said very respectfully: "The disciple knows that he has made the master angry, and the crime deserves death, so he will ask the master for his guilt another day." “

He turned away.

"Do you still want to leave?" Yokoyama Shibei ordered Yokoyama Kenki: "Take him down, take him back to the ship, and keep him under strict supervision." “

Yokoyama Jianshu immediately responded, and immediately stepped forward: "Senior brother, you still listen to your father." ”

Hero Sadda snorted coldly: "Although you are a senior brother, your martial arts may not be my opponent." ”

Yokoyama Shibei was angry: "Do you still want to do it, okay, then let me, this old bone, teach you the martial arts of the heroes of Sada!"

Sada Hero was suddenly frightened, he didn't want to say whether he was the opponent of Yokoyama Jubei, even he didn't dare to make a move with his master.

It is impossible for Yokoyama Jianshu to let his father make a move, if he lets his father make a move, his face as a senior brother will be really lost: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, it seems that my junior brother's martial arts have made great progress, so let me, the senior brother, lead your martial arts." ”

Sada Hero snorted coldly: "Am I still afraid that you won't succeed, although you are a senior brother, you may not be my opponent." ”

"Wait!"

However, in the end, they still didn't fight, and Fang De couldn't let them fight in front of him, so he directly stopped the duel between the two.

Yokoyama Shibei said to Fang De: "Brother Fang, Sada is my subordinate, leave this matter to me." ”

Fang De replied, "Brother Yokoyama misunderstood, I just wanted to ask Satta a few questions. ”

Yokoyama Shibei turned to Sada Hero: "You answer Master Fang's question well." “

Who knew that Sada's hero pouted: "You are not my master, why did I answer your question?"

"Bastard!"

Hearing the words of Hero Sada, Yokoyama Shibei felt a burst of anger in his heart, and this kid didn't give him a long face.

Fang De just smiled: "It doesn't matter if you answer or not, I already have the answer in my heart, I just want to confirm through you, did you have Prince Rong before you came to the Fang family?"

"Of course," replied Hero Sada, "although you are a prince, you are not as timid as a mouse, and you dare not even take on other people's challenges." ”

"I know, it turns out that he asked you to make trouble with me," Fang De bowed: "If I don't accept your challenge, he will use this to hit my image in the eyes of everyone." ”

Yokoyama Shibei was very embarrassed: "Don't worry, I will take this kid back to Kyoto, and I will never let him cause trouble for you." ”

Fang De shook his head: "Don't blame him, if Prince Rong insists on causing trouble for me, even if there is no Sada today, he will let others come tomorrow, and Sada is just a pawn for him to use." Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Sada Hero, and said patiently: "You are looking for me to compete, but you are really looking for the wrong person, although I know a lot of martial arts heroes, even the three ladies and sons have a very good martial arts, but I am an ordinary businessman, not a martial arts master, I go out to defend myself is two new Western flint muskets, you can't let me carry a Western musket to compete with you." “

"Western muskets, you're talking about Western muskets, right?"

Fang De nodded: "You can also call him a secret weapon." ”

"It's better than a hidden weapon!"

The hero of Sada was not afraid, his power of Western firearms was still above the fire guns of the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't know the power of the new Western muskets, so he nodded and agreed: "As long as you win me, you can ask whatever you want?"

Hearing that Sata Hero was going to compare muskets with Fang De, Fang Shiyu couldn't help laughing: "Competing with my father with a foreign gun with a foreign gun, isn't that just looking for abuse." ”

Yongning was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Fang Shiyu said with a smile: "My father's musket is a hundred shots in a hundred steps, referring to the master who fights that, and there is no missing bullet, and my father's Western musket is not an old-fashioned musket left over from the previous Ming Dynasty, but the most advanced Western gun produced in the United Kingdom, which uses the latest paper bullets, and the speed of reloading is not known how many times faster than the old-fashioned musket. ”

Yongning said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a fire gun, what's so scary, a duel with a master, you miss a shot, and you don't even know how to write it when you die." ”

"That's because you haven't seen the new Western musket, nor have you seen my father's shot, and more importantly, he reloads very quickly," Fang Shiyu said with great confidence: "He can complete the reload and reload in an instant." ”

Yongning was immediately aroused by him: "You won't be bragging to your Lao Tzu." ”

"You're on the look. “

Hengshan Shibei naturally knows the inferior style of the old-fashioned firecracker, even if Fang De uses a Western firecracker, he is not optimistic about their duel, although the power of the firecracker is good, if it hits someone, it will naturally break the bones and tendons, but if it misses a blow, it is a very dangerous thing, how dare he let these two people compete: "In-laws, you don't need to pay attention to this bastard boy, Jianshu, what are you still standing there for, don't you take this bastard boy down for me?"

"Yes, Father!"

Yokoyama Kenki responded very respectfully, and already faced Sada Hero: "Second junior brother, let me teach you your martial arts." “

When Hengshan Jianshu went to that station, he gave people a feeling of being calm as a mountain, and it was obvious that this person's attainments in martial arts were very high.

Although Hero Sada didn't take his senior brother in his eyes, in fact, when Yokoyama Jianshu went to that station, he felt an unprecedented pressure, and it was obvious that he hadn't seen him during this time, and his senior brother's martial arts had improved a lot more than before.

"I'm still afraid that you won't make it. “

Hero Sada is ready to strike.

If Yokoyama Jianshu gives people the feeling of being calm as a mountain and immobile as a mountain, then the hero of Sada feels like a wolf and a tiger, which are completely two completely different temperaments, who is strong and who is weak, even the ten soldiers of Yokoyama can't say, but these two people still didn't fight in the end, and it was naturally Fang De who stopped them: "Slow!"

Yokoyama Shibei was surprised: "The in-laws are ......."

"Listen to what I have to say," Fang De replied, "Since Prince Rong can let Sada come to me for trouble today, it is possible for others to come to me for trouble tomorrow, in order to avoid a series of troubles in the future, I must solve this matter myself, otherwise the troubles will follow one after another, and it will be annoying." “

Yokoyama Shibei hesitated: "Are you okay?"

He knew that Fang De had never done anything with others.

Fang De smiled: "I have been in the business world for so many years, and there is nothing I can't solve." “

Then he turned his gaze to the hero of Sada: "You don't just want to compete with me, I can agree, but you have to think clearly, my weapons are two Western short guns, my guns are not those arquebuses left by the former Ming Dynasty in the palace, but the new British flintlock guns, even in their army did not have time to equip, its power is not those old guns left by the Ming Dynasty can be compared, as soon as this gun comes out, life and death are not something that our side can control." “

Sada Hero pouted: "We martial arts practitioners don't wear our heads around with trouser belts one day, and the head is only a scar the size of a bowl, so let's not talk about people who practice martial arts if they are afraid of death." “

Fang De's gaze drifted into the distance, and then said lightly: "Okay, since someone wants to see me make a move, I will do what he wants, what weapon do you use." “

"Katana!"

Hero Sada has a knife in his hand.

The sharp edge of the knife is shiny,

It was a katana that was extremely popular in the East.

Fang De nodded: "The knife is a good knife." ”

"Of course," Sada Hero laughed proudly: "Don't say that I bullied you, you can choose the venue of the competition." ”

"Just in front of the stone arch bridge. ”

Fang De was the first to walk out.

Hero Sada followed.

Yokoyama Shibei, Yokoyama Kenshu and Yokoyama Sakurako followed, and finally Fang Shiyu and Yongning.

Yokoyama Kenki was puzzled by Fang De's sudden acceptance of Sada's challenge: "Father, why did you say that Uncle Fang suddenly accepted the challenge of Senior Brother Sata?"

Yokoyama Shibei also glanced at the restaurant in the distance with feeling, and then said lightly: "Things that are useless are not known to people when they use them." ”

Yokoyama Jianshu was moved: "You said that Senior Brother Sada let people take advantage of it?"

"The one who uses your junior brother Sada is definitely a master," Yokoyama Shibei's voice was very light: "If it weren't for your Uncle Fang's sudden acceptance of Sata's junior brother's challenge, maybe my father wouldn't have found out, but no matter how bad my disciple of Yokoyama Shibei is, it's not something that anyone can use if they want to." “

When he said this, Yokoyama Shibei had a faint killing intent in his words.

"Father, do you know who this man is?"

Yokoyama Shibei just said lightly: "Stay for a while, you take care of Sakurako, I'll go and meet this person." He had gone away as he spoke.

"Yes, Father!"

Yokoyama responded respectfully.
