"I hope you can go with me, for you, the state has a better development, and I need a companion. ”

Qi Heng stared at Meng Li, his attitude was extremely sincere.

Meng Li was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Senior Brother Qi, I'm afraid I'm going to reject you." ”

Qi Heng frowned and said, "Why do you want to refuse?" I think you should know what kind of choice is the best choice for you. You have offended the Seven Star Sect, do you really think that life and death contract can make them cast a mouse?"

The revenge of the Seven Star Sect, this is an inevitable thing, after all, there are too many means in this world that can cause accidents, but Meng Li has a reason to stay. This reason is worth risking with his life.

"I'm sorry Senior Brother Qi, I still have to refuse you. ”

Qi Heng didn't ask the reason, only said "yes", and then turned to leave, and suddenly stopped before leaving the gate.

"Be careful with Zhuang Yu, as far as I know him, he is not a person who will give up easily. ”

Meng Li nodded and said, "I will." ”

Qi Heng took a step forward and said, "And Xiao Zicong, I heard that you are very close to him, this person is not simple, you have to be more careful." ”

Meng Li bowed to Qi Heng, and when he got up again, the other party's trace had disappeared.

Zhuang Yu held Han Fei's ashes and stood in the hall of the Yuan family with an expressionless face.

"Senior Brother Han Fei's ashes have been cremated, and today I will return to the sect overnight, and the matter here will be handed over to you. ”

Behind Zhuang Yu, there was a father and son, the younger one, dressed in a gorgeous costume, was Yuan Yuting who appeared in the noodle restaurant that day, the older man was six points similar to Yuan Yuting, this person is the contemporary head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhizhang.

Yuan Zhizhang's face was calm, there was a sense of Confucianism on his body, and when he heard Zhuang Yu's advice, he smiled slightly and said: "Zhuang Xian's nephew, don't worry, Meng Li killed Han Fei, he is the enemy of our Yuan family, and our Yuan family will definitely not let Meng Li go." ”

Zhuang Yu nodded and walked out.

After Zhuang Yu walked away, Yuan Yuting frowned and said: "Dad, do we really have to take care of this matter?" As far as I know, this Meng Li is not simple, not only has the support of Lord Luo behind him, but also the shadow of the Liu family behind him, and Du Mu and others also have a good relationship with him. We are afraid that we will be burned."

Yuan Zhizhang continued to smile.

"Meng Li's situation, Zhuang Yu knows better than us, he asked us to do this, but he didn't have the intention of letting our Yuan family die. However, Meng Li has a life and death contract, and the Seven Star Sect is not allowed to make a move, so he is also helpless. ”

The Seven Star Sect and the Yuan family are in the same spirit, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. If something happened to the Yuan family, the prestige of the Seven Star Sect would also be greatly reduced.

"Then we ......"

"Of course we can't do it ourselves. Yuan Zhizhang put his hands behind his back and said meaningfully: "I remember that there is an Earth Dragon Gang in the city, and their gang leader, Yan Dilong, seems to have a relationship with you some time ago. ”

Yuan Yuting said embarrassedly: "I've just drunk a few times." ”

The Yuan family, as the first family in Jieshui City, has a very strict family education, and his father does not like his friends who drink and meat.

Yuan Yuting suddenly figured out something, and said excitedly: "Father means ......"

Yuan Zhizhang laughed: "This friend of yours is very good, maybe he can help us solve the problem of Meng Li." ”

The Earth Dragon Gang is a gang in Jieshui City, claiming to be a third-rate gang, but in fact it is a ruffian gang with less than 100 people. Ninety percent of the gang members are ordinary people who have never learned martial arts.

Yan Dilong is in his early forties this year, and he has been cultivating for six years, and since he was erased by the rivers and lakes of Jieshui City, he founded the Dilong Gang, which is a dirty thing to bully and dominate the market.

Not long ago, Yan Dilong took Yuan Yuting's line, and he thought that he could take the gang power further, but before he could take action, he ushered in the test of the Yuan family.

Early the next morning, in front of the Meng family's noodle restaurant, nearly 100 members of the Dilong Gang came in a mighty manner, crowding the street in front of the noodle restaurant.

Yan Dilong looked at the signboard on the gate, his face gloomy.

Before he came, he had already inquired about Meng Li's situation and knew that this Meng Li was not an existence he could afford to provoke, but for the sake of glory and wealth in the future, he still decided to fight.

At this time, behind Yan Dilong, there was a scholar standing, the scholar was not very old, in his early twenties, but his body was surprisingly thin, almost skinny.

It seems that the scholar who can fall down by the wind, named Song Shu, is the second leader of the Earth Dragon Gang, the real core figure, and the Earth Dragon Gang can develop to a scale of 100 people, which is not unrelated to his efforts.

On the door plaque, the four words of Meng's noodle restaurant are glittering.

Song Shu glanced at it, came to Yan Dilong's side and whispered: "Helper, in the martial arts assessment two days ago, this Meng Lidao slashed seven forgings, and now it is the time when the limelight is tightest, are we sure we want to go against him?"

Yan Dilong said: "What are you afraid of, we are helping the Yuan family now, even if something happens, there is a cover from the Yuan family, besides, we are not here to make trouble today, but to eat noodles." Everyone's got me up in spirit, do you hear that?"

"I heard you!"

The shouts of hundreds of people shook the entire street.

When the local dragon gang walked into the noodle shop, Meng Li was basking in the sun in the courtyard.

The sun was shining very well today, and he was able to relax for a rare time.

The application for the martial arts hall has been approved, and the renovation of the martial arts hall is also being carried out simultaneously, everything has been put on the right track, and it is only a matter of time before the next step is over.

Before dinner yesterday, Meng Li had already checked with Liu Fengliu that the time to renovate the martial arts hall would take about five days, and the cost was not much, less than a thousand taels.

The Liu family has a big business, and the business under their hands is all over the city, and the work team they cooperate with is also very dedicated.

As soon as it was dawn today, a team of ten people came to the house and began to carry out the transformation.

The house that Liu Chongyuan gave to Meng Li is a big mansion with three entrances and three exits, with three courtyards connected in the front, middle and back, directly across one street, extending from the most popular front street in Bei'anfang to another street.

Although the street adjacent to the backyard is also lined with shops, it is not as prosperous as the front street, and it is relatively quieter, which is more suitable for running a martial arts hall.

After the inspection of the team, they gave a proposal to renovate the backyard, and the only difficulty was the expansion of the back door.

The gate of the martial arts hall must be magnificent, so as to reflect the majesty of the martial arts hall, no matter how you say it, it is also a face of the imperial court, and you have to think about it a little more.

Hearing the proposal of the work team, Meng Li immediately made a decision and decided to use it as a weapon in the backyard.

As for the gate, it wouldn't cost much money anyway to reopen it.

The sound of the construction in the backyard was a little noisy, and Meng Li found some cotton wool and blocked his ears. While he was leisurely, he was tapped on the shoulder.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Wang Ergou appeared in front of him, looking anxious.

Meng Li took off the cotton wool and asked, "What's the matter, is there someone coming to the door again?"

Wang Ergou said solemnly: "Something happened to the noodle restaurant, go and have a look!"

Meng Li turned around and changed his posture, waved his hand and said, "With her Miss Bu here, what can happen, I won't go." ”

Didn't Bu Yu not let him meddle in the affairs of the noodle restaurant, why did he think of him when something happened?

Don't go, resolutely don't go!

Meng Li's naïve appearance made Wang Ergou cry and laugh.

"Don't make trouble, just now I don't know where a bunch of ruffians came, claiming to be the Earth Dragon Gang, Miss Bu is angry now, you don't go over, wait for her to start a fire, maybe the noodle restaurant can be demolished for you." ”

Hearing Wang Ergou say this, Meng Li immediately jumped up from the recliner, after all, with Miss Bu's character, it is really possible to dismantle the noodle shop.

Meng Li, who came to the noodle restaurant, was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, the hall was originally very spacious, and it was already full of people at this time.

"What's the situation, when did the business of our noodle restaurant get so good?"

Meng Li looked at the crowd dressed in gang clothes, smiled coldly, and then came to Bu Yu.

The eldest lady was now on the verge of rage, and she was holding a large iron spoon in her hand, which would have fallen on a middle-aged man in his early forties if he hadn't been stopped by the Jingle Sisters.

Meng Li snatched the spoon from Bu Yu's hand, glared at the middle-aged man and said, "Are you here to make trouble?"

Yan Dilong smiled coldly and did not speak. Song Shu, who was sitting at the same table as him, said, "Who said that we are here to make trouble, can't we come to eat noodles?"

Miss Bu, who was pulled aside by the Ding Dong sisters, said angrily: "Fart, I've been sitting here for a long time, I haven't ordered a bowl of noodles, and other customers have come in and have been blown away by them." ”

Meng Li's face was ugly: "This friend, if you come to eat noodles, I welcome you, if you are here to make trouble, then don't blame me for being rude, now with your people leaving, I can act as if nothing has happened." ”

"What, you still want to do it to customers?" Yan Dilong suddenly stood up and shouted towards the door: "Come and see, everyone, the shopkeeper has beaten someone." After speaking, he smiled coldly at Meng Li: "Boss Meng, I don't think anyone will want to patronize a noodle restaurant that shoots at customers!"

Looking at the other party's smug smile, Meng Li was in trouble. Anyone can see that this group of people is prepared.

"Who am I offending here?"

Meng Li thought secretly in his heart, and at this moment, Liu Fengliu suddenly ran over and told him about the situation of the Earth Dragon Gang.

Knowing the situation of the Earth Dragon Gang, Meng Li was even more troubled.

As the so-called Hades is easy to provoke, the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and ruffian gangs like this kind of ruffians who specialize in the streets are also the most headaches.

"Gang Master Yan, let's say, how much money do you want?" Meng Li sighed, he could only spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Who knows, Yan Dilong, who made a living by blackmailing shops, actually showed disdain after hearing this.

"What does Boss Meng think we are. My brother has just said that we will only eat noodles today and will not make trouble. ”

Eating noodles should also have the appearance of eating noodles, and they really don't look like they want to eat noodles, but like they want to eat people.

"Meng Li, what are you talking nonsense to them for, just do it and beat them out. ”

Bu Yu yelled in the back, not daring to struggle hard for fear of hurting the Ding Dong sisters.

Hearing Bu Yu's shout, Meng Li smiled helplessly, some things cannot be solved by force.

Moreover, Yan Dilong is not wrong in one sentence, for those who open stores like them, reputation is the most important, if there is really a rumor of beating people, the store will not need to be opened.

Just when Meng Li was in a dilemma, a cold snort suddenly came from outside the door.

"The law of the Southern Tang Dynasty, gathering crowds to make trouble, depending on the severity of the situation, can be escorted to prison, I see that you people are not here to eat noodles, but to eat prison food. ”

"Who is it?

Yan Dilong heard the sound and immediately glared out of the door, but when he saw the person outside the door, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately wilted.

At the gate of the noodle restaurant, two middle-aged men were coming, the first one, Yan Dilong didn't know him, and what really scared him was the man in white behind him.

Jianjing Mansion, Fujing makes Bai also.

Looking at this "top boss" of all the martial artists in Boundary Water City, Yan Dilong's face suddenly turned like ashes.

"White, White-sama!"

Bai Ye's sharp eyes stared at Yan Dilong, and said indifferently: "The Yan Gang Master is so majestic, and he needs nearly 100 members of the Dilong Gang to accompany him when he eats bowls of noodles. ”

Yan Dilong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said in a panic: "No, don't dare." ”

Bai Ye was stunned, and shouted angrily: "Since you don't dare, don't you get out of here immediately, is it possible that you still want me to invite you to tea?"

"Yes, yes, the small ones will roll, this will roll. ”

There was a panic in the noodle restaurant, and under the leadership of this Yan gang leader, nearly a hundred members of the Dilong Gang disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The crowded hall instantly became empty, leaving only a mess.

The Ding Dong sisters, led by Miss Bu, straightened the table.

Meng Li came to Luo Jing and Bai Ye, and bowed respectfully: "Lord Luo, Lord Bai." ”

Luo Jing said: "Today, I am parading the streets with Brother Bai in casual clothes, you don't have to be polite." ”

Bai Ye laughed and said, "Meng boy, let's come in time!"

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the two adults who appeared in time today, the kid really didn't know what to do." ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish!" Luo Jing sighed: "The martial arts environment of Jieshui City has always been a disease. Unscrupulous gangs like the Earth Dragon Gang, which swagger and deceive under the banner, are the moths we should eliminate next. ”

Bai Ye said in a deep voice: "Brother Luo is right. ”

Luo Jing laughed and said: "Brother Bai don't have to be nervous, this is the government affairs of your Jieshui City, I just give an opinion, what to do next, it is your matter with Ye Chengshou, it has nothing to do with me." As he spoke, he looked at Meng Li and said with emotion: "I heard that the fish soup noodles you make are famous all over the city, and they can even be comparable to the splendid noodles in Zhongzhou City." Whatever I say today, I'm going to taste it. ”

"I'm going to cook noodles for adults!"

After Meng Li finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Seeing the young man's frank temperament, Luo Bai and the two smiled at each other and sat at a table nearby.

Seeing this scene, Bu Yu personally made tea and poured water for Luo Bai and the others.

Luo Jing looked up at Bu Yu and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you have any wine here, this thing is too boring to drink." ”

Bu Yu said embarrassedly: "We don't sell alcohol here, so ......"

"There's wine!

Without waiting for Bu Yu to finish speaking, Liu Feng roared twice, turned over and got into the counter, and in Miss Bu's shocked eyes, he took out two jars of fine wine.

Where did this wine come from?

"My lord, please use it!" Liu Fengliu put the two jars of wine on the table, completely ignoring Miss Bu's almost murderous gaze.

The only regret is that it will be even more difficult to hide sake in the future!

Miss Bu is the most taboo to drink, and she is not allowed to drink alcohol in the store, which makes Liu Dashao, who prides himself on being romantic, how can he accept it.

Luo Jing looked at Liu Dashao with appreciative eyes and said approvingly: "The kid has a future. ”

Liu Fengliu smiled, and actually laughed a little shyly, which made Miss Bu, who hated her teeth itching, quite speechless.

You guy, a guy who steals wine and drinks, what's there to be shy about?

Within a few moments, the noodles were ready.

Meng Li came from the back kitchen with two bowls of fish noodle soup.

"Two adults, please!"

Putting the steaming noodle soup in front of the two, Meng Li took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to the two with both hands.

Luo Jing put down the wine glass, took the chopsticks, looked at the bowl of hot fish noodle soup, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

After picking up a piece of noodles, putting them in his mouth, and chewing them carefully, Luo Jing sighed: "Good noodles!"

Bai Ye laughed and said, "Brother Luo, how is Meng Li's fish soup noodles better than your Zhongzhou splendid noodles?"

Luo Jing said: "Each has its own merits, not equal!"

Bai also looked at the noodles in front of him, secretly shocked, you must know the splendid noodles in Zhongzhou, but it is known as the first noodles in the world, and even the splendid mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou, one of the top ten famous dishes in Zhongzhou, are also based on this pasta renovation, Luo Jing gave such an evaluation, which is not high.

After taking a bite of the noodles, the taste was really excellent.

Luo Jing only took one bite, then put the chopsticks aside, although this side was good, but it was not the purpose of his here, he looked at Meng Li and said, "Qi Heng came to look for you?"

Meng Li nodded and said, "I rejected him." ”

Luo Jing looked at him directly: "You should know that this opportunity is very rare. ”

Meng Li said in a deep voice: "I have a reason to stay. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Next, Luo Jing never said a word again, but quietly finished eating the noodles.

Meng Li looked at the empty bowl and asked, "Do you want another bowl?"

Luo Jing shook his head, took out two taels of silver, and put them on the table.

"It's face money!"

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "I invited the two adults to eat this noodle." ”

Luo Jing smiled and turned to leave.

"Do you know what a great opportunity you gave up? ”

Looking at the white silver on the table, Bai also sighed and chased out.

Today may be the day when Luo Jing leaves Jieshui City, in short, in the following days, Meng Li will never see him again.

Of course, that's all for later.

After Luo Jing and Bai Ye left, Meng Li pointed to the table and said, "Clean up here." And he himself, taking advantage of Bu Yu's inattention, picked up two jars of wine and returned to the front yard.

Wang Ergou and Liu Fengliu followed Meng Li back to the front yard.

Meng Li looked at the two of them and said, "How much do you know about the Earth Dragon Gang?"

Liu Fengliu said: "The Dilong Gang is a gang composed of a group of ruffians, who make a living by extorting shops, and the gang leader Yan Dilong, refining the body and forging six forgings, with Boss Meng's ability, he can be solved with a few knives." ”

Speaking of the Earth Dragon Gang, Liu Fengliu's expression was obviously disdainful. In fact, this Dilong Gang has been looking for trouble with their Liu family, and the old man of his family, if it weren't for the sake of harmony and wealth, he would have let Hu Bugui destroy Yan Dilong.

"Then do you know where the stronghold of the Earth Dragon Gang is?"

"I don't know. Liu Fengliu shook his head, looked at Meng Li and hesitated, "You don't want to dig out their nest, do you?"

Meng Li said: "Revenge is not overnight, this Earth Dragon Gang dares to trouble me, I naturally can't let him go easily!"

"Well said, a manly man, you should be happy to take revenge!" Liu Fengliu waved his fists and said excitedly: "The Earth Dragon Gang is the cancer of Jieshui City, I have long wanted to clean them up, if you do it, you must call me." ”

Meng Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "But you don't even know where the Earth Dragon Gang is!"

No one can find it, so what revenge is there?

Wang Ergou raised his hand and said, "This, I seem to know where they are?"

"You know?" Meng Li was surprised.

Wang Ergou nodded: "When I went out a few days ago, I heard the news of this Earth Dragon Gang, and out of curiosity, I inquired about it. ”

"Can you find them?" Meng Li asked the most crucial question.

Wang Ergou took out the drawing from his arms that only he could understand, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "No problem." ”

The stronghold of the Earth Dragon Gang is located in Xijingfang in Xicheng.

Half an hour later, Meng Li and Liu Fengliu came to a teahouse under the leadership of Wang Ergou.

"Dragon King Teahouse, the name is domineering enough. However, even if that Yan Dilong is a dragon, he will be beaten into a worm today!"

Hidden in a corner, Meng Li looked at the teahouse on the street with a sneer on his face.

Through a window in the teahouse, he could see Yan Dilong sitting in the teahouse, and opposite him was sitting a man in fancy clothes, looking a little familiar.

Pushing Liu Fengliu on the side with his elbow, Meng Li pointed to the man in Chinese clothes and said, "You see if that person is a little familiar." ”

As the standard gentleman of Jieshui City, Liu Fengliu's eyesight naturally still exists.

After seeing the man in Chinese clothes, he said, "Isn't this Yuan Yuting? He was also there on the day our noodle restaurant opened." ”

Being reminded by Liu Dashao like this, Meng Li immediately remembered that this Yuan Yuting was the eldest young master of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family had a great relationship with the Seven Star Sect......

"Could it be that all this is the ghost of the Seven Star Sect?"

What Meng Li could think of, Wang Ergou naturally thought of, and said with a solemn face: "I didn't expect them to move so fast." ”

As soon as he heard that it was related to the Seven Star Sect, Liu Fengliu immediately became a turtle with a shrunken head, and said with a smile: "Boss Meng, if you don't withdraw it, don't take revenge for now." ”

Wang Ergou echoed: "I agree with Liu Dashao's decision, and it is possible to startle the snake by making a rash move." ”

Meng Li waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "What a big deal, it will scare you like this, don't worry that I don't need you to make a move this time, I can handle it by myself." ”

Wang Ergou smiled bitterly: "You should know that I didn't mean that. ”

Meng Li put away his cynical mentality and said with a serious expression: "I know that you are afraid of attracting the attention of the Seven Star Sect, but have you ever thought about what kind of role the Seven Star Sect will play in this matter?"

Wang Ergou frowned, thoughtful, while Liu Fengliu looked confused.

What kind of role can the Seven Star Sect be, the mastermind behind the scenes!

It's good that the Seven Star Sect is the mastermind behind the scenes, but the mastermind behind this is also divided into many situations.

Although the Seven Star Sect is terrifying, its foundation is not in the Boundary Water City after all, and because of the life and death contract, this behemoth cannot directly attack Meng Li by itself.

Meng Li can conclude that the Seven Star Sect must have handed over all the things to deal with him to the Yuan family, as for what means to use, it is the Yuan family's own business, which can also be seen from the fact that Yan Dilong and Yuan Yuting met, otherwise Yan Dilong would not have seen only Yuan Yuting at this time, but also Zhuang Yu.

In other words, the opponent Meng Li faced at this time was not the Seven Star Sect, but the Yuan family.
