"Master, we can't ask for this money. ”

"Why?" Yan Xingguan turned his head to look at Meng Li, and the resolute look in Meng Li's eyes surprised him.

In this world, there are very few people who can resist the temptation of money, especially a child.

Meng Li held his head high, and said with a serious expression: "It's not the money I earned with my own hands, and it's not practical to spend it." Ill-gotten wealth is not advisable, and this is what my mother taught me. ”

"What your mother said is very right!" Yan Xingguan, who recognized Meng Li's character even more, nodded slightly, shook his hand, and stuffed the silver ticket back into Li Boyun's arms.

Li Boyun, who was thinking of spending money to eliminate the disaster, was frightened into a cold sweat by the reaction of the master and apprentice, and thought that he had not "filial piety" in place, so in a panic, he took out an identical silver ticket, and pushed it over together with the previous one.

Meng Li frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

"He doesn't mean anything, the reason why he does this is just to survive!" It was not Li Boyun who answered Meng Li, but Yan Xingguan, who had already seen through these things.

No one's life is always smooth sailing, and many times, in order to survive, they have to lower their heads and do something they don't want to do, just like now, Li Boyun, who regards money as his life, has to spend a lot of money to calm their anger. After all, this is a world that relies on fists to reason!

Li Boyun smiled bitterly: "These two hundred taels of silver have no intention of bribery, they are purely compensation for offending the two before." If you make a mistake, you have to admit punishment, I still know this truth, the two adults have a lot, don't worry about me. Also, all this money is my hard-earned money, and it is clean and not ill-gotten gains!"

What Li Boyun wants is just to calm things down, and it is not easy for the Li family to develop to this day, and it must not be ruined in his hands because of a little face-saving matter.

Yan Xingguan, who had no intention of making a big fuss, sighed lightly, and finally took the two silver tickets, and Meng Li, who was so shocked by the values that his face could not be dispersed for a long time, shook the silver tickets, and said seriously: "This is the world you will be exposed to in the future, the law of the jungle." ”

"Is the law of the jungle?" Meng Li, who had ambitions before but was now beginning to worry about the future, suddenly smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "It seems that I have a lot of things to learn!"

Yan Xingguan said: "The world of martial artists, martial arts are respected, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, become strong as soon as possible, and then you will find that this world is still very interesting." ”

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and it was Yan Xingguan's careful guidance today that made Meng Li's future road more stable.

Li Boyun, who had the cheekiness to send the silver ticket out, finally settled down, turned his head and smiled at the master and apprentice: "I think the two are very born, it shouldn't be our people from Shuizhen, right?"

Meng Li reached out and touched the mask on his head, and automatically ignored the word "face".

After all, he had just received two silver tickets of one hundred taels from others, and Yan Xingguan patiently explained: "It is indeed the first time to come to Lishui Town, and I need to stay for a few days. ”

Li Boyun said enthusiastically: "Can you find a place to live? If you don't dislike it, you can go to live with me for a few days, so that I can do some of the friendship of the landlord." ”

Yan Xingguan smiled slightly, looked at Meng Li and didn't speak.

Meng Li hesitated: "This is not good, we have booked a room at the Fengyun Inn." ”

Children are children after all, although Meng Li has a calmness far beyond his age, he still can't help but feel curious in the face of the unknown. What would the Li family, which could occupy a place in the town of Leaning Water, look like? Meng Li, who had never seen anything in the world, really wanted to take a look.

"The room I booked, I just refunded. To tell you the truth, Fengyun Inn is actually my Li family's property, and the environment there is far from my Li family's wing room!"

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he finishes speaking, Meng Li's heart itches even more.

Yan Xing saw this and laughed.

What do you rely on when you go out? Friends, gold and silver, or your own skills? From Yan Xing's point of view, although these things are all important, they are not the most important things. The most important thing when going out is to be thick-skinned! Only when the skin is thick enough, can those friends, gold and silver, and skills give full play to their value.

Yan Xingguan, whose eyes were like torches, didn't fail to see Li Boyun's little abacus, and he also knew that he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to him, but what was the problem? It was always more comfortable to go to the Li family to live in a first-class room than to go to an inn.

Regardless of Meng Li's entangled thoughts, Yan Xingguan, who was proud of his thick face and black heart all his life, waved his hand with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, my master and apprentice will be disturbed!"

"Don't bother, don't bother, it's our Li family's honor. Li Boyun, who was thinking about how to take this opportunity to get close to the other party, how could he not be overjoyed? After ordering the subordinates in the mansion to tear down the already useless ring, he personally led the master and apprentice to their own mansion not far away.

The mansion of the Li family, not far from the street, is a manor that covers an extremely wide area, with a large plaque at the high gate, the word "Li Mansion" is written on the plaque, and the golden bronzing characters shine in the sunset, full of majesty.

The master and apprentice followed Li Boyun to the Li Mansion, first using the exquisite dishes that had already been ordered to be prepared properly, and then they were arranged in the picturesque backyard wing of the courtyard, and the master bedroom where the Li family lived was just a wall.

Meng Li, who had already taken off his mask when he entered the Li Mansion, looked at Yan Xingguan after entering the wing.

"Master, we have a grudge with the Li family, and we can only accept two hundred taels of silver tickets from him, why do we still live in?"

For Meng Li, grace is kindness, grievance is grievance, grace and grievance cannot be confused, like this kind of thing that he had to turn his face before, and then shook hands and made peace, he almost didn't even dare to think about it.

Yan Xingguan laughed, sloppily and said, "You are still young now, and you have seen less of the world, and you will understand everything in two years." ”

"It's the same as not saying!" Meng Li, who was extremely dissatisfied with this answer, stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, putting on an expression of not bothering to pay attention to you. Even he didn't realize that since worshipping Yan Xingguan as a teacher, his personality has been much more cheerful.

Perhaps because he lost his relatives since he was a child, Meng Li's personality was too silent, and now that he has met a relative who can be relied on, his already confined heart will naturally gradually open.

Meng Li, who sneaked up in front of his master, rubbed his hands and said, "Master, do you still know how to do the knife technique?"

Yan Xingguan rolled his eyes and casually pushed Meng Li aside. "Don't worry, I'll teach you the three-style knife technique when I go back. ”

"Go back and learn again?When will it be?" Meng Li wailed, he had long been eager to learn two exquisite sword techniques to save himself confidence, and he felt that he was spending his days like years when he waited for a while.

Yan Xingguan, who also came over like this when he was young, smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too long." If you're lucky, you'll be able to go back tomorrow. ”

After a day of wandering, Meng Li, who had long been ready to fight a protracted battle, heard his master say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Master has a solution?"

Meng Jiangxi was caught by the Shuifu Ya, this matter can be big or small, if it is not done well, it will become a scapegoat, Meng Li's original intention was to make the matter bigger, so that the Shuifu Ya has something to fear. But depending on Master's intentions, there is obviously a better way.

Yan Xingguan smiled proudly and asked rhetorically, "Do you know why I reminded you to use the floor rolling knife today?"

Meng Li shook his head, he only thought that the Rolling Ground Knife was the best choice to crack Li Qifeng's two-style swordsmanship, how could he have thought that there was another deep meaning.

Yan Xingguan raised his chin and said with a little smugness: "We went around the town of Shui for a day today, you think I'm shopping, but in fact, I'm learning about the situation here." ”

"So what?" Meng Li, who didn't know what his master was talking about, showed a confused face.

Yan Xingguan said solemnly: "According to my observation today, there are many forces in the town of relying on water, which can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and in a place like this, there are few secrets that can be kept. I believe that the news of your defeat of Li Qifeng will soon reach Zhang Song's ears, what do you think he will think when he sees the wound on Li Qifeng's hand?"

"Needless to say, of course they will come and arrest me and put me in jail. Meng Li cried with a sad face.

Zhang Song's only clue to find the murderer was the fatal knife wound on Meng Huaiyang's body, and after seeing the exact same wound, of course he would associate him with the murderer. But if so, won't you sell him in?

Yan Xingguan glanced at Meng Li, then looked out the window, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, I will protect you when the time comes." ”
