"Hahaha, second brother, you're back!"

Seeing Hu Bu, Liu Chongyuan let out a hearty laugh.

Hu Bugui had already gotten up when the other party entered the door, hugged his fists and said, "Don't return to see the eldest brother." ”

Liu Chongyuan took Hu Bugui's hand and said with a slight reproach: "How many times have I told you, you and I don't have to be like this, why are you still so rigid every time you see me?"

Hu Bugui said solemnly: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, my eldest brother is as kind to me as a mountain, and it is not a pity for Hu Bugui to die." ”

Liu Chongyuan frowned and said: "What is immortal, unlucky, your life was hanging by a thread at the beginning, and it was also the situation that I blocked that sword for you, don't blame yourself." ”

Hu Bugui was silent.

When they first broke into the rivers and lakes, the two of them were already sworn brothers. At that time, Liu Chongyuan's martial arts were still above him, and later because of his problem, a fight was triggered, he was not a first-class martial artist at that time, and when he was about to be killed by the opponent with a sword, it was Liu Chongyuan who stepped forward and blocked this sword for him.

After receiving the second sword, although his eldest brother did not worry about his life, he injured the sea of qi and could no longer use his true qi.

Liu Chongyuan patted Hu Bugui on the shoulder and said loudly: "Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things." Liu'er didn't get into any trouble when she went out this time!"

Hu Bugui shook his head and said: "Although the little young master is a little arrogant, his nature is not bad, he did cause some trouble when he went out this time, but it was all a little thing to worry about." There is one person I care about very much. ”

Liu Chongyuan's voice sank and said, "Who is it?"

Hu Bugui said: "That person's eldest brother has also heard of it, it is Xiao Zicong of the Xiao Martial Arts Hall." ”

"Xiao Zicong?" Liu Chongyuan frowned and said, "I remember that when this Xiao Zicong first came to Jieshui City, he also had a conflict with you because of a mission. What's the matter, he's getting you in trouble again this time?"

Hu Bugui's expression was solemn, and he nodded and shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

Hu Bugui smiled bitterly: "Xiao Zicong knows our plan in three months, he seems to be from that place!"

"That place!" Liu Chongyuan's face sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "You mean the Xifu Horse Gang?"

What is Liu Chongyuan's plan in three months, and why does he think of the Xifu Horse Gang from this matter, this matter has to be said slowly.

The Liu family is a first-class family that started as a merchant in Jieshui City, and his biggest enemy is not those martial arts families who covet their family's strong financial resources, but the Li family, which is also a merchant family.

The Liu family and the Li family are both rivals and partners.

In recent years, the development of Jieshui City has been rapid, and the chamber of commerce organization has begun to appear in people's field of vision.

The Liu and Li families took advantage of this opportunity to organize the largest chamber of commerce in Jieshui City, the Fujia Chamber of Commerce.

However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the birth of the Fujia Chamber of Commerce, although it has raised their power to a higher level, has also planted the seeds of mutual hatred.

As the power of the Chamber of Commerce grows more and more, the Liu and Li families, who both want to hold this sharp weapon in their hands, have turned from mutual cooperation to open and secret fighting. In just two years, they became each other's biggest enemies.

Before the end of last year, Liu Chongyuan was already thinking about getting rid of the Li family, and it happened that after the New Year, the Li family had a batch of extremely important silks to be sent to the royal family.

Liu Chongyuan, who learned the news, immediately made a decision and decided to intercept this batch of silk supplies three months later, and spent a great deal of money to find the Xifu Mabang to cooperate.

Liu Chongyuan's plan was known only to him and Hu Bugui, and only the Xifu Horse Gang, who were far away in the Xifu Ranch to gather horses and collect money. Liu Chongyuan and Hu Bugui naturally couldn't leak the news, and the Xifu Horse Gang was also famous for keeping their promises, Xiao Zicong knew about it, and the answer was naturally self-evident.

This Xiao Zicong must be an important figure in the Xifu Horse Gang.

However, since Xiao Zicong is a member of the Xifu Horse Gang, why did he come to this water city alone? It has been nearly a year since this person opened a martial arts gym here last year!

"Second brother, what do you think Xiao Zicong's intention in revealing this matter to you?" Liu Chongyuan couldn't figure it out, so he simply threw this question to Hu Bugui and brainstormed, which was the key to his ability to develop the Liu family to this point.

Hu Bugui pondered: "When Xiao Zicong revealed this matter to me, it was to protect a young man, and now it is indeed not easy to think about that young man. ”

"Why isn't it easy?" asked Liu Chongyuan.

Hu Bugui said: "That young man, I have taught him hands, although it is only a few tricks, but I can already see that he is extraordinary." Judging from his response, it should be a master of a famous family, whether it is a knife technique or a body technique, it is not simple, if I didn't suppress him with my true qi, maybe he would not be his opponent. ”

The more Hu Bugui said, the heavier his expression became, and it was in response to those four words that he was extremely frightened when he thought about it.

Liu Chongyuan knew Hu Bugui's strength best, and when he heard him say this, he was speechless: "Can the young man now be so powerful? Could it be that he is a disciple who came out of the Great Gate Sect?"

"How did I forget about this. Hu Bugui stretched out his hand and patted his thigh and said, "By the way, big brother, I also saw Miss Li next to that kid, and they seem to be extremely close." ”

Liu Chongyuan was surprised: "Have you met Li Yan's little girl?"

Hu Bugui said firmly: "He covers his face with a white veil all the year round, and I won't recognize him?"

Liu Chongyuan's face was slightly gloomy and said: "Li Yan is a disciple of the Lotus Picking Sword Sect, even the young man she wants to be close to, it shouldn't be simple, it seems that Xiao Zicong is also showing favor to that young man." ”

"Big brother, what should we do?"

Hu Bugui smiled bitterly, now even if Meng Li stood in front of him and personally admitted that he was not a disciple from the Jianghu Sect, he would not believe it.

Liu Chongyuan muttered: "Even the Xifu Horse Gang has to show good talents, we should naturally win over, at least not behind the Li family." ”

Hearing Liu Chongyuan's decision, Hu Bugui's smile became more and more bitter.

"But on the way back, the young master had some conflicts with the young man, and I also attacked the young man. I'm afraid ......"

Liu Chongyuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, what kind of virtue my son is, no one knows better than me, I dare to expect that this matter must be Liu'er's fault, and then take him to admit his mistake in the future, you are to protect Liu'er, he thinks the other party will understand, if it doesn't work again, we will break the fortune and avoid disaster." I don't believe it, with the financial resources of my Liu family, I can't take this person!"

Hu Bugui said: "Okay, I listen to my eldest brother." ”

Liu Chongyuan laughed and said, "Second brother, you don't have to be nervous, we are just guessing the identity of that young man now." What we should do with him in the end will have to be determined first, and in a moment you will send two clever men to find out where they live. ”

Hu Bugui seemed to be prepared, and said, "When I came back just now. I have already asked Liu An to follow behind, and only then did Liu An come back to report that they had now lived in the Fujia Inn, and the Wang housekeeper of the Li family also went to the inn on a special trip and asked the guys at the inn to entertain them. ”

"Is it the Fujia Inn in Beicheng?" Liu Chongyuan showed a thoughtful expression, "I remember that Liu Sheng seems to be there." ”

"That's right!" Hu Bugui nodded, revealing a wry smile.

The competition between the Liu family and the Li family is fierce, as long as it is a business in the Fujia Chamber of Commerce, they will compete for power and profit.

Liu Chongyuan looked at Hu Bugui and said solemnly: "You go on a trip in person and tell Liu Sheng to keep an eye on me." Also, don't offend the young man. ”

Hu Bugui said: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

Fujia Inn, Fujia Party.

As the most famous inn in Jieshui City, the luxury of Fujia Inn is also the most famous.

When Meng Li and the three of them passed by, they were immediately attracted by this luxuriously decorated inn and could no longer move.

Five-storey building!

Green bricks, red tiles, white walls, and carved sandalwood ornaments that exude a faint fragrance.

A bright red carpet rose up the stairs from the door to the inn door.

The celadon floor inside the gate is inlaid with celadon floors from the Jieshui official kiln, which is extremely exquisite.

In the open hall on the first floor, there are thirty or forty sets of tables on the expensive celadon floor, and in the four corners of the living room, there are four gilded copper pillars with dragons and phoenixes.

Miss Bu glanced at the clean and tidy red carpet under her feet, nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the door of the inn and said, "Fujia Inn, Fujia side, this inn is not bad, worthy of this small ...... Ben Gongzi, I have decided that we will live here in the future. ”

"Are you sure you want to stay here?"

Meng Li glanced into the inn, looked at the four golden bronze pillars, and touched his money bag again, with a wry smile on his face.

Just look at this luxurious decoration to know that this inn must not be cheap!

Wang Ergou was also a little stunned, and hesitated: "Otherwise, let's go! This is not a place where ordinary people can afford to live." ”

As the little rich woman among the three, Bu Yu naturally would not pin her hopes on the two, her eyes widened, patted her Qianqian's thin waist, and said domineeringly: "What, do you think Miss Ben has no money?"

Meng Li, who was ruthlessly despised, smiled bitterly: "Even if you have enough money on you, how many days can we use it?" Don't forget that we are going to live in Jieshui City permanently, and with this spare money, it is better to rent a private house." ”

The long flow of water is the king.

It's not like relying on the water town, all aspects have to be calculated, to put it bluntly, it's stingy, not only to be stingy with others, but also to be less angry with yourself.

Meng Li has been accustomed to a hard life since he was a child, anyway, if you want him to make that extravagant move, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it in his life, even if he makes a fortune in the future, he will break a copper plate into two halves.

In his opinion, no matter what time it is, thrift should be a virtue, and if others want to laugh at him, then it is better to laugh, anyway, he doesn't care.

Bu Yu is not a pampered eldest lady, hearing Meng Li say this, he suddenly had a choice in his heart, and snorted lightly: "If you don't go, you won't go." ”

These days they have been sleeping in the wilderness, and now that they are in the city, can it be even more difficult?

"Let's go around and see if there are any rented homes!"

They all know that at this time, it is not easy to find a rented house. But no matter how hard it is, you can't even try it without trying.

However, just as they were about to leave, a tall young man suddenly appeared and stopped them.
