Five years later, Xu Tianran, who is still wearing a green shirt, wears heavy iron armor and wears a bamboo knife at his waist, jumping between the mountains and forests like a gust of wind.

Xu Tianran was followed by a white dress, as if there was a tacit understanding, the white clothes quietly watched the green shirt swing a knife to cut the rising sun, and then fight, using each other as whetstones and sharpening each other's mood.

Xu Tianran, who is already fourteen years old, has risen a lot, almost as tall as Mr., that is, he is a head shorter than Lao Bai, and his long black hair is tied by a green silk and draped behind him. The original immature facial features have become more and more three-dimensional under the carving of the years, the baby fat on the face has faded, the already high nose bridge looks more and more straight, the eyes are no longer immature, and the narrow Danfeng eyes make people have to be fascinated by it.

The white-clothed boy Xiao Xu Tianran is one year old, and he is as tall as Xu Tianran, which is Xu Tianran's feeling lucky, for fear that the white-clothed boy will keep jumping taller and compare himself, and his momentum will be weaker every time he fights. Lao Bai said that the first thing to fight is momentum, and if you have momentum, the fight will be stable nine times out of ten.

Fortunately, now in terms of size, half a catty and eight taels, you can't take advantage of it and you can't suffer a loss when you fight. However, sometimes Xu Tianran also suspects that Lao Bai's words are not right, after all, with Lao Bai's size, he can't suffer a loss compared to anyone, and he won't lose if he fights, but Lao Bai can really win every time he fights? This question has been haunting Xu Tianran's heart, but he doesn't dare to ask the answer, after all, Lao Bai is going to lose face, and he won't mention the matter of losing face, and then he sulked and didn't give himself braised pork to eat.

Coarse cloth Tsing Yi Xu Tianran and gorgeous white clothes Zhu Qi were another tragic fight. Xu Tianran also felt strange, so these years Lao Bai has never taught himself knife skills, the only time Lao Bai simply said, knife skills are not in the moves, in the fast, accurate, ruthless, the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken, to the fastest everywhere to take the lead, the knife is accurate, don't cut crooked leaks flaws, but also waste of strength, ruthless is the strength to be enough, don't cut people a knife soft, to a knife to hack people to death or cut half to death.

At the end, Lao Bai added, refining the body must also be grasped, and only if you can withstand the fight can you be invincible, others can't beat you with ten punches, and if you beat him with one punch, you will knock him down, obviously your chances of winning are greater. Besides, walking the rivers and lakes, who hasn't met a few black hands, they can't react for a while, and they can only rely on thick skin and thick flesh to support them. Lao Bai also pondered for a moment, the ability to refine the body cannot be taught, I can only be beaten, this drudgery can only fall on me, from tonight onwards, I will beat you three times a day, and I will be tired and panicked if I beat you more.

Xu Tianran hated it when he remembered Lao Bai's words back then, when the old white head beat himself, he drank wine and squinted his eyes, obviously beating people very happily, where did he see that he was tired, he carried it down three times a day, and many times he felt that he couldn't bear it, and finally it was Mr. who soaked the medicinal soup to bathe himself, and then slowly recovered.

Zhu Qi stabbed a sword on Xu Tianran's arm, leaving only a shallow white mark, although Zhu Qi's sword did not use too much strength, but in the past five years, he found that Xu Tianran has become more and more rough and thick, and he can't hurt him at all if he doesn't cut him to death. In the past five years, the two sides have won and lost half, most of the time one person thinks of a new cracking move, and the next day is cracked by the other party, in the process of cracking each other, the two make rapid progress. What made Zhu Qi feel the most terrifying was that Xu Tianran's strength would skyrocket every time he opened a trick, if he hadn't been suppressing the realm and fighting with Xu Tianran, he would not be able to keep up with Xu Tianran's speed of breaking the mirror at all.

Zhu Qi said depressedly: "The surname is Xu, why is your skin getting thicker and thicker?"

The corners of Xu Tianran's mouth twitched, "It's all beaten." ”

Zhu Qi couldn't help but smile, "Seeing the surnamed Xu being beaten by Bai Tu upstairs every day is also a beautiful scenery. ”

Xu Tianran's knife is extremely concise, there is no superfluous action in one move, Zhu Qi's swordsmanship is exquisite, obviously a good teacher, Xu Tianran's five fingers become a hook, and he only takes Zhu Qi's chest when he grabs it, and Zhu Qi scolded lightly in his mouth: "Hooligan." Immediately, a whip leg kicked Xu Tianran away. Xu Tianran flipped two circles in the air and landed, the horizontal knife was in front, Zhu Qi's sword pointed at the green shirt, it seemed that he couldn't tell the winner today, Xu Tianran took the lead in collecting the knife and returning it to the sheath, and Zhu Qi collected the sword.

Over the past five years, the two have fought each other a thousand times, but they haven't said a few words, Xu Tianran didn't want to chat with Zhu Qi for no reason, jumped lightly, landed on the stone where he was watching the rising sun, and sat on his knees, "Do you want to sit?"

Zhu Qi smiled slightly, landed on Xu Tianran's side, and sat with his knees crossed.

Xu Tianran didn't quite understand his own realm, so he wanted to ask Zhu Qi what realm he was, and he could probably know what level he had reached in martial arts. Xu Tianran said calmly: "Today, do you still have any spare energy?"

Bai Yi said gently: "I did my best ten years ago." ”

Xu Tianran said happily: "What realm are you in now, how many products are there?"

Zhu Qi sneered, "What's the matter, you can't figure out the realm and want to talk from me?"

Xu Tianran nodded frankly, "Mr. Lao Bai and Mr. never told me, except for Lao Bai to let me carry the boulder every day, when I can carry the stone under my buttocks, I will be able to break the mirror into a product." However, I try to carry it every day, and it doesn't move at all, so the gap must be not small. ”

The corners of Zhu Qi's mouth twitched, the threshold of an ordinary first-grade product is about 10,000 catties, and a very small number of celestials can only lift 20,000 catties to refine the body to the extreme, and this stone is conservatively estimated to be 40,000 catties.

Zhu Qi thought about it, teased Xu Tianran, deliberately said less about the realm, and wanted to stimulate Xu Tianran's inexplicable self-confidence, "It's about four grades." ”

I never thought that Xu Tianran jumped up happily, "Mother, I am a master of the four grades." ”

Zhu Qi shook his head helplessly, "You have a good heart." ”

The corners of Xu Tianran's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't stop smiling: "I couldn't practice originally, this road is very difficult, I am a four-grade master at the age of fourteen, shouldn't I be happy?"

Zhu Qi's beautiful eyes were like water, and he smiled: "If you are a third-grade master, wouldn't you be even more happy?"

Xu Tianran nodded sincerely, "Thank you for more than five years, you have been suppressing the realm and fighting with me, and you have helped me a lot. ”

Zhu Qi's smile was bright, and the two deep dimples were very cute: "Are the green mountains unchanging and the green water flowing for a long time used here? Do you want to be willing to help when your life is not in danger, how much do you spare your life? Sometimes, I really can't understand you, I am very afraid of death when I am afraid of death, and I am very afraid of death when I am not afraid of death, are you afraid of death or not?"

Xu Tianran's eyes were gentle, "I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid that I won't be able to grave my mother, and I'm not afraid of death, I can reunite with my mother when I die." ”

The young man in white had eyebrows like morning glow, his eyes like the sun and the moon, Zhu Qi said with a serious face: "Do you have a dream?"

Xu Tianran said seriously: "I don't know if it's a dream, I want to go far to the rivers and lakes, see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for my mother, practice a very powerful sword, of course, practice a knife, otherwise I'm sorry for Lao Bai." However, I hope that one day, I will become the number one in the world, so that my name will be heard by my mother. What about your dreams?"

Zhu Qi smiled lightly: "Freedom." ”

Xu Tianran smiled and said, "It's amazing." Encourage you. In fact, Xu Tianran guessed that the white clothes were women, but if she didn't say it, she wouldn't have broken this layer of window paper, not to mention that the window paper in white clothes was thick, and ordinary people couldn't see through it at all, if it weren't for the fact that she and the white clothes had fought more than a thousand times and found some clues, others would not have found out that the handsome and merry white clothes were actually women, Xu Tianran secretly sighed: Who said that women are not as good as men.

There are four major families in the town, Ma Yuan Liuhuang, who has been doing business for generations and is also a big landlord, controlling most of the food, clothing and housing in the town, Ma is the head of the four, mainly engaged in pawn shops and brothels, the most money in the town, the largest industry, and deserves to be the one who holds the bull's ear, and the head of the Ma family is Ma Zhiyuan. Yuan's family operates rice shops and wine shops, ranking second, and the head of the family, Yuan Tian, is Yuan Hao's father. Liu's business is a silk shop, ranking third, and the head of the family, Liu Xuanbin, is Liu Ruyun's father. Huang's business is the largest restaurant in the town, although the restaurant is not big, the name is not small, it is called Qi Xianju, ranking fourth, and the head of the family, Huang Daning, that is, Huang Jing's father.

Although the town is small, it has all kinds of livelihoods, and there is no official government in the town, and the simplicity of the town depends on the words passed on by everyone: don't kill people, don't do evil. Legend has it that the murderers and evildoers in the town have disappeared, and the ancient inheritance has created a stable life in the town. In addition, the rent in the town is not high, and the tenant farmers can eat and dress diligently, and if they have a little hunting ability, they can eat a lot of meat, or exchange their prey for some silver money to improve their lives. However, the competition in business still exists, as long as it does not exceed the rules, the merchants can compete within the rules, which is also the fundamental reason for the formation of the scene of small and small prosperity in the town.

Recently, the undercurrent of Qingshan Town Street, the two heads of Ma and Huang who are in Yingxun Lane came together and stretched out their hands to the silkworm farmers of the Liu family, the foundation of the silk shop lies in the silkworm farmers, if the silk can not be harvested, where is the silk, plus the villagers of Qingshan Town mainly buy not silk, most of them are linen, and most of the silkworm farmers are also weavers, cutting off the root of the Liu family's business, which is obviously on the bar with the Liu family. The Ma and Huang families received the silkworm keepers under their doors with double pay, and the Liu family's silk shop was in critical condition.

The Liu family in Liuye Lane and the Yuan family in Longyan Lane have always been good friends, and Liu Xuanbin brought gifts to the Yuan family and visited Yuantian.

The business war between the four surnames is about to break out.

Yuan Tian brewed a pot of newly picked tea from his own tea garden in the study, and poured tea for Liu Xuanbin, who had a sad face, with a smile.

Liu Xuanbin frowned and said: "Ma Zhiyuan deceived people too much, the four surnames of Qingshan Town have always made their own livelihood well water and do not violate the river water, what is he going to do? The vacant Qi Xianju suddenly had no owner, and the big guys didn't dare to move, and finally the remaining three unanimously decided to let the big shopkeeper of Qi Xianju take over, and this was the Huang family in Qingshan Town. It's only been a hundred years, how come these people don't have a long memory. ”

Yuan Tian squinted his eyes and smiled: "The Ma family is rich and rich, pawn shops and brothels are all daily money-making transactions, and they also have some shady deals, and they have made underground gambling houses, and sooner or later they will be punished." Both of us are doing small business, one sells rice and the other sells cloth, watching the money come and go, but in fact we can't make any money. Fight them head-on, I really can't fight, and I want to find a way to solve it peacefully. ”

Liu Xuanbin said sincerely: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Yuan Tian leaned over and whispered: "Your daughter is sixteen this year, and she is at an age where she can be married, and the Ma family's sister-in-law is eighteen this year, and her age is about the same. ”

Liu Xuanbin shook his head, "The son of the Ma family is not successful, and his reputation is not very good." ”

Yuan Tian laughed and said: "If the son of the Ma family is talented, it is not a good thing for us, your daughter is smart and has restrained the son of the Ma family, isn't you the most powerful person in Qingshan Town in the future?"

Liu Xuanbin sighed and said: "I can't sacrifice Yun'er's lifelong happiness in exchange for power, Yun'er is a good girl, I want to find a good man to marry, it doesn't matter if I am poor, I have to love her enough." ”

Yuan Tian patiently made tea, where to go, let Liu Xuanbin make his own choice, after all, the business war is a lose-lose situation in the end, it is difficult to have a winner, if you accidentally take risks, it will be the end of the destruction of the whole clan.

Liu Xuanbin went home, and mentioned Yuantian's method to his wife, but he never thought that his wife agreed with Yuantian's point of view, "Yun'er is going to marry someone after all, who to marry is not to marry, not to mention that marrying the Ma family is also a good match, even if the two have no feelings, it is okay to take a concubine in the future, or to recruit a few girls who have a room, Yun'er is the eldest lady after all, and there are few wealthy families in Qingshan Town who do not have concubines." Yun'er has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and she has an excellent relationship with Fengyun, and she will be willing to marry the Ma family's sister-in-law for the sake of us and Fengyun. Yun'er is the best at thinking about others, you should make peace with the Ma family earlier, otherwise you will lose even more later. ”

Liu Xuanbin finally took this step at the repeated instigation of his wife, and chose to negotiate peace with Ma Zhiyuan.

The news of Ma Wencai, the son of the Ma family, and Liu Ruyun, the daughter of the Liu family, spread all over the town in an instant, and everyone is also extremely optimistic about the marriage. Some people envy the strong alliance of large families, and some people have sour willows like clouds and a flower is inserted in cow dung.

The rumors reached the ears of the young man in green shirts, and the young man in green shirts was very angry and murderous.
