Xiao Chongwu was chatting with people in a teahouse in Ping'an Fang, not knowing that his sloppy appearance had planted a seed in someone's heart.

"Brother Xiao, I heard the news that Li Boxer in the west of the city will come to challenge tomorrow, so you should pay more attention. The middle-aged man said softly.

Xiao Chongwu nodded when he heard this: "Thank you Brother Li for reminding me, I will definitely let my brother prepare when I go back." ”

"Brother Xiao is polite, I won't accompany Brother Xiao to drink tea here if I have something to do, and I will go to congratulate Brother Xiao on the day of the apprenticeship. ”

Xiao Chongwu got up to send him off, and after the middle-aged man left, he sat down and drank a sip of tea, took out the copper coin and put it on the table, and then got up and walked out of the teahouse.

Out of the teahouse, Xiao Chongwu walked half a cup of tea in the lively street of Ping'an Fang and turned into an alley, from time to time in the alley there was a woman who did the skin and meat business pulling Xiao Chongwu's arm, Xiao Chongwu continued to walk forward quietly, there was a small shop at the end of the alley, and there was a sound of iron striking inside.

"Childe, your flying needle has been laid. I'll get it for you. An old man over sixty years old in the blacksmith shop saw Xiao Chongwu enter the shop, and after putting down his tools, he wiped his hands on the white shirt on his body and said.

Xiao Chongwu looked at the old man on the table inside, holding a wooden box in both hands and walking towards Xiao Chongwu to open the wooden box, and there were neat flying needles in the wooden box.

Xiao Chongwu picked up a flying needle, the flying needle was two inches long, not thick or thin, and it felt just right in his hand, Xiao Chongwu flung the flying needle forward, and the flying needle was steadily pierced into the pillar in front of him, and the flying needle was taken out and put into the wooden box.

Xiao Chongwu took out the silver and handed it to the blacksmith, took the wooden box and said: "This is the money for the flying needle and the deposit for the next set, you give me another set, and I will come and get it next time." ”

Xiao Chongwu went out of the blacksmith shop and wanted to go back the same way, but when he saw the women standing on both sides of the alley pulling the men into the room, Xiao Chongwu shook his body and turned around and walked towards the right side of the blacksmith shop, making a long detour home.

In the 30 squares of this summer city, the population of more than 10 million people, nearly 300,000 people in each square, there are always a few places in the streets and alleys of each square There are these women who come out of the green building, these women are young in the green building to redeem themselves, after the redemption of the people are also old, if you are lucky, you will marry an honest person, no one wants to live again if you are unlucky, some women who have no talent will do this skin and meat business in the alleys of this square.

Xiao Chongwu would not pity these women like that saint, although he knew that the parents of these women sold them to the Qinglou when they were young, but after the Qinglou came out, they could have made a better living, but they did this kind of livelihood in this alley, which really shouldn't be.

What Xiao Chongwu can do is to firmly believe in the ideas in his heart, although he knows that it is more difficult for him to realize his ideas than to ascend to the sky, but Xiao Chongwu will still slowly change the world, reduce the looting of the people by those high-ranking officials and nobles, and let the people live as worry-free as much as possible, so that they will not sell their sons and daughters to be servants.

"I said Brother Autumn Cicada, don't sing loudly after the Mid-Autumn Festival, for fear that others won't know your specialness. ”

After Xiao Chongwu returned to the Dust Guarding Pavilion, he saw Wu You standing in front of the osmanthus tree and pointing to the singing Xia Cicada on the tree and talking.

Wu You saw that Xiao Chongwu was back, and he didn't reprimand the Xia Cicada who was singing loudly, and after walking to the middle hall with Xiao Chongwu and sitting down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"When I was in the teahouse today, someone told me that tomorrow the Li boxer in the west of the city will come to challenge, this Li boxer became famous as early as now and is nearly fifty years old, you don't want to beat him with one punch when you compete with him tomorrow, otherwise it will be too exaggerated, and others will be foolish. ”

Hearing Xiao Chongwu's words, Wu You put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, don't worry, I also know something about this Li Boxer, and I have my own measure." After competing with this Li boxer tomorrow, I will wait for the martial arts hall to open to accept apprentices. ”

Xiao Chongwu nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "I have been walking around this summer city in the past few days, and I have also heard some news that I can buy in the black market, and after inquiring about the specific location of the black market, I am asking about the whereabouts of this ice stone." ”

Wu You hummed and said, "By the way, Lao Xiao, how much silver do you have there?"

"There's not much left, Liu Qi has spent a lot of silver on me these days, and now there are fifty taels left at this rate of spending, and these fifty taels will be spent in a few days. Xiao Chongwu replied.

Wu You sighed and said, "You and I are starting to worry about money again, and I don't know if anyone in this Dust Guarding Pavilion has come to apprentice." ”

"Don't worry, I've been wandering around the city in the past few days and made some friends, this Xia people are still martial arts, all the children of the official eunuchs will let their children and grandchildren practice martial arts, as long as you defeat that Li Boxer tomorrow, I am in propaganda, there will be people who will come to the door to apprentice. Xiao Chongwu smiled and said: "These eunuchs are not bad for money, presumably this apprenticeship fee will not be too small." ”

Just as the two were chatting, at the door, Liu Qi was carrying some people into the mansion, Wu You saw it and walked quickly towards the door, and when he saw them, he saw those people carrying weapons racks, so he commanded those people to be placed in the martial arts arena.

The next day, early in the morning.

There are no less than a few people gathered at the door of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, there are the housekeepers of the high-ranking and noble districts in the crowd and some handsome sons wearing luxurious brocade clothes, and some martial arts practitioners with swords on their backs, these people are waiting in front of the Dust Guarding Pavilion early in the morning, and there is a discussion in the crowd, under the plaque of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, a chair and a table, Wu You sits on the chair and drinks the tea cup and looks at the crowd.

"Boxer Li is here. ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, Wu You followed the eyes of the crowd, there were more than ten people on the street on the left wearing the same red military uniform, the leader was a middle-aged man with white sideburns, the crowd retreated to the side to make way for the group and then slowly walked to the door of the Dust Guarding Hall, when they came, Wu You put down the teacup early, stood up, straightened his clothes, and respectfully hugged his fists:

"The junior Wu You has seen Li Fist. ”

The middle-aged man with white sideburns saw Wu You clasping his fists and saluting, and he couldn't help but feel good about the young man in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Xiaoyou is polite, the old man came uninvited this time, he wants to learn martial arts with Xiaoyou." ”

Wu You walked down the stairs and stood in front of the middle-aged man and said: "As a junior, the kid should visit the seniors first, and it is a blessing for the seniors to come here today. ”

The middle-aged man nodded without saying much, and after reaching out and making a gesture of please, the disciple behind him retreated into the crowd, making room for the two of them.

After the two took a few steps back from each other and saluted with fists, Wu Xian grabbed people and waved his right swing fist towards the middle-aged man, and when he got close to the middle-aged man three steps, his right swing fist turned into a collapse fist and went towards the middle-aged man's chest. The middle-aged man's body flashed, and after blocking Wu You's fist with his left hand in a standing palm, he kicked the ground with his right foot and threw a fist towards Wu You's abdomen.

Wu You tucked his abdomen and slashed backwards to avoid the middle-aged man's fist, but he still felt a trace of pain in his abdomen, Wu You looked at the middle-aged man's eyes more solemnly, and after stabilizing his body, Wu You continued to punch the middle-aged man, and the strength of the punch was also a few points greater.

The middle-aged man took a few steps back, stabilized his body, put his right hand on his chest, and after his body breath stabilized, he hugged his fist towards Wu You and said: "Xiaoyou's boxing technique is really exquisite, the old man lost, can Xiaoyou tell me the name of the boxing method?"

Wu You looked at the middle-aged man so calmly, and replied with a fist: "It's the kid who is lucky to beat his predecessors." The practice of boxing is called Five Elements Fist. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, muttered the Five Elements Fist in his mouth, hugged Wu You's fist, and turned to leave, the crowd quickly gave way to the middle-aged man, and the person in the red practice uniform followed closely behind the middle-aged man.

Although this competition was defeated by Li Boxer, who had been famous for a long time, the crowd had no doubt or surprise about Li Boxer's defeat, and when the two were dueling, the crowd knew that Wu You was not weaker than Li Boxer when they saw Wu You and the middle-aged man seeing the move, and the crowd was still immersed in the duel between Wu You and Li Boxer just now, and they were still discussing with each other.

Wu You looked at the crowd and knew that his reputation as a dust guard was defeated, so he hugged his fists and said loudly: "Tomorrow, the dust guard hall will open to accept apprentices, and I hope you will come to cheer." ”

The Xia people are still martial and strong, and today Wu You defeated Li Boxer, which naturally won the respect of the Xia people, and the crowd hugged Wu You to congratulate Wu You and Wu You also returned the salute one by one.

Today's battle with the name of the Dust Guarding Pavilion can be regarded as a foothold in the summer city, and it is used as a talking point at the tea table and banquet of many martial arts lovers, and they are talking about the battle between Wu You and Li Boxer today.

Wu You can't hear the conversation of these martial arts lovers, Wu You, who doesn't have much money now, is directing the family in the Shouchen Pavilion to plan the opening of the museum tomorrow and accepting apprentices, and has been planning the things in the martial arts arena in the courtyard After the things in the martial arts arena were placed neatly, Wu You had time to sit in the middle hall and drink tea.

Wu You looked at the busy family in the courtyard and sighed a little, how could he have thought that he would open a martial arts hall in this lost territory to make money, and after slowly losing his mind, Wu You got up and walked towards the study.

The bookshelf in the study was empty, and there was a piece of ink on the desk that was about to run out of ink lying on the inkstone, Wu You stood in front of the desk and picked up the kettle and poured a little water on the inkstone, then picked up the small ink block and began to grind the ink on the inkstone.

After the ink was polished, Wu You sat at the desk and wrote on the letter paper on the table with the ink in front of the pen:

Xiaoru, it's okay not to see you for many days. Lao Xiao and I have now settled down in Xia Cheng and opened a martial arts gym. You say hello to Uncle Jane and Aunt Zhuang on my behalf.

..................

When the New Year is approaching, I will go back to Changshou Village, and I hope that Uncle Jian and Aunt Zhuang will not read it.

Wu You stopped his pen and looked at the family letter that had not dried in ink, originally wanted Jian Xiao and his wife to come to this summer city together, although Wu You was worried about the war that would come after saying nothing, but now that the world is stable, he also knows that Jian Xiao and his wife will not leave Changshou Village, so he can only wait for himself to go back during the New Year after he is stable in Xia Cheng to persuade the two.

After packing the letter, Wu You called Liu Qi to send the letter, and then sat in the study, looking at the empty bookshelf, and couldn't help but mutter: "It's really poor." ”

When the sun was hanging in the east, the families in a mansion in the depths of Chong'an Road, the first street in the dignitary district, were in full swing to prepare.

At the end of the hour, a lot of people gathered in front of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, cheering from time to time, looking at the two lion dances in front of the door, Wu You and Xiao Chongwu stood in front of the door of the mansion on the left and right, watching the lion dance when Wu You nodded to the housekeeper.

After receiving the greetings, the butler sang loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please unveil the plaque." ”

Wu You and Xiao Chongwu stood under the plaque on the left and right, and after grabbing the red cloth strip with their right hands, the two looked at each other and pulled down, and the red cloth covering the plaque fell, revealing the three big characters of the Dust Guarding Hall.

Wu You and Xiao Chongwu did not follow the rules, the original signboard of the Shouchen Hall could not be announced until the opening of the museum today, and it was hung on it as early as seven days ago, so they didn't care so much, plus the two of them didn't have friends to send plaques and gifts to thank them when they first came to the museum today, so they simply ignored these etiquette, the most important thing is that they opened the museum in a hurry now without extra money.

After the unveiling, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums and the lion dance also danced happily, and after the sound of firecrackers calmed down, Xiao Chongwu took a few steps forward and saluted the crowd with his fists, and said in a loud voice:

"The Dust Keeper Museum is open today to accept apprentices, thank you for coming here to cheer, if you don't dislike it, please join me in the museum. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chongwu saw that several friends who drank and drank tea together on weekdays were in the crowd, so he walked in front of them and walked towards the hall to meet them. Wu You has also trained in these days and knows how to introduce the Dust Guarding Pavilion.

"The Dust Guarding Pavilion is based on the Five Elements Fist, supplemented by swordsmanship. The Five Elements Fist is based on gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and contains the twelve-shaped fist ......."

Wu You nodded as he listened to the family members introduce the Dust Guarding Pavilion to the people who came in, and he was also busy leading people to introduce the martial arts arena in the Pavilion. From time to time, some people saw Wu You praising Wu You's record of defeating Li Boxer in the west of the city in front of the museum for several days, Wu You also smiled modestly, and at noon, the people watching the excitement in the museum slowly left the museum.

"Two sons, none of the people who came to the hall today came to me to register to learn boxing. ”

Wu You and Xiao Chongwu sat on the chairs, listening to Liu Qi's voice and not knowing what to say, the two shook their heads.

"The two sons, the families of the powerful in this summer city have their own boxers, and some of them already have famous teachers, although the second son defeated Li Boxer, the people in the city have never heard of it, and the second son's fee for accepting apprentices is high, so it is normal that no one comes. ”

Wu You shook his head and said: "There are reasons why I set this fee a little higher, first, the children of poor families have no money to pay for this martial arts practice, and second, if the dust guard hall is such a big place, if the cost is reduced, there are too many people to live in the museum, you continue to spread the news in this city afterwards, don't worry." ”

Liu Qi answered and went to work. Above the middle hall, only Wu You and Xiao Chongwu were left thinking about this apprenticeship.

After the matter of Shouchen Pavilion and Wu You's defeat of Li Boxer was talked about once in Xia Cheng, it also dissipated and no one put it in their hearts, more of them talked about the affairs of the country, following the assassination of King Liang last time A few days ago, Jiang Min, the king of Yue, was also assassinated, although it was the monarch of the vassal state who was assassinated, but two monarchs in a row were assassinated one after another, but the assassin was not caught, and people of insight in Xia Cheng knew that the assassination was not simple.

The powerful people in Xia Cheng were also worried about whether the next assassination would be their own Xia King or themselves? As a result, the guards at the gates of Xia Cheng gradually increased, and patrols in the city were also intensive, and the entire Xia City was also filled with a heavy atmosphere of wind and rain.

Princess Muyang's Mansion.

"Princess, the Dust Guarding Pavilion has not recruited a single apprentice since it was last opened. A beautiful maid of double ten years old cut peaches with a knife.

Princess Muyang Xia Chaoyu, who was lying on the table, sat up when she heard this, looked at the beautiful maid and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't the Dust Guarding Pavilion defeat Master Li? Why didn't anyone come to the door to learn boxing?"

The maid put the cut peaches on the empty plate on the table and said, "Princess, you don't know, the dust guarding hall can't accept apprentices because the cost is too high, and it costs two hundred taels of silver to learn boxing for one year.

People say that it will take several years to learn boxing, this year is six hundred taels for two hundred and two years, and the cost of our princess's mansion is only six hundred taels a year, who can learn this?"

Xia Chaoyu showed a contemplative look on her beautiful face when she heard this, then picked up a piece of peach and put it in her mouth, and said while eating: "Qiao'er, you go and find me the sixth child." ”

When the maid named Qiao'er heard this, she put down the knife and answered, and went out to find the sixth child in the mouth of Princess Muyang.

An hour later, in a water pavilion in the courtyard of the princess's mansion, Xia Chaoyu sat on the edge of the pavilion and grabbed the bait placed on the table with his right hand and threw it into the water.

Xia Chaoyu looked at the fish that couldn't eat the bait, grabbed another handful of bait in his hand and threw it into the distance, the bait was scattered on the water like a flower in the sky, and the fish swam quickly towards their bait, and the fish that were originally gathered in a pile swam into the distance, forming a fan composed of fish in the water.

Just as Xia Chaoyu was feeding the fish, a young man dressed in a luxurious brocade dress and the maid named Qiao'er were heading towards the water pavilion.

"Eldest sister, what are you looking at? So fascinating?" After the young man walked into the water pavilion, he found that the woman sitting on the edge of the pavilion was looking at the water surface and couldn't help asking.

Xia Chaoyu came back to his senses, did not answer the young man's words, glanced at the young man and said angrily: "Sixth, I asked Qiao'er to find you, you only came in this hour, and your sixth prince's mansion came to my princess's mansion for an hour?"

The young man knew that Xia Chaoyu was a little angry, and stood behind Xia Chaoyu and slapped Xia Chaoyu's back with a smile: "Eldest sister, you don't know, when Qiao'er came to me, I was holding a poetry meeting in the house, so it was delayed." ”

The sixth prince said as he squeezed his eyebrows at Qiao'er. When Qiao'er saw it, she opened her mouth to explain to the sixth prince: "Princess, the sixth prince is indeed holding a poetry meeting. As soon as the poetry meeting was over, he came with me. ”

Listening to the explanations of the two, Xia Chaoyu scolded: "Sixth, don't think that I don't know what you are doing in the mansion all day? When you were a child, you still loved to practice martial arts, and now you still look like a prince. ”

The sixth prince was frightened when he heard this, he knew the temper of Princess Muyang, so he didn't defend it, glanced at Xia Chaoyu's bandaged right leg, and said with concern: "Eldest sister, I have changed a lot now, you have to take care of this leg quickly, and after it is raised, I will go to ask my father for instructions, we are going out of the city to relax." ”

Xia Chaoyu sighed when he heard that he was out of the city to relax, every time he went out of the princess's mansion in the past ten years, his brother asked his father for instructions, so that he could go out of the mansion to relax, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

"Okay, don't hammer it, you're going to hammer it apart. ”

Hearing Xia Chaoyu say this, the sixth prince didn't pick up the peaches on the table before he sat opposite Xia Chaoyu and ate them.

Looking at his younger brother's appearance, Xia Chaoyu shook his head and said, "Sixth, I came to you today to find you something serious to do." ”

When the sixth prince heard the matter, his face showed a depressed look and said, "Sister, my father has arranged enough things for me, why are you still looking for me to do the right thing like my father?"

Xia Chaoyu glared at the sixth prince and said, "Do you remember the last time we went out of the city to hunt, you went to chase the elk, my foot was injured and I was rescued?"

The sixth prince nodded again and again: "Of course I remember, last time my father scolded a few of us." Fortunately, sister, you're fine. ”

"I've found the life-saver. Xia Chaoyu looked at the sixth prince who was eating peaches and said, "The right thing I found for you is to let you go and practice martial arts with my life-saving benefactor." ”

When the sixth prince heard about the martial arts practice, he agreed: "What did I think was the matter? Sister, who is your life-saving benefactor, I will come to the door tomorrow to thank you." ”

Xia Chaoyu looked at the appearance of the sixth prince and stroked his forehead, thinking that his father had found many boxers for the sixth prince over the years, this sixth child has been a martial arts wizard since he was a child, and the boxers are not as good as the sixth prince, but they are all teased by him and say goodbye, and said seriously: "Sixth, you can't be the same as all these years this time, if I find that you are still the same as before, you will never enter my princess's mansion." ”

When the sixth prince, who had been closest to Princess Muyang since he was a child, heard this, he couldn't help but put away the joke, sat up straight and said with a straight face: "Eldest sister, don't worry, this time I will practice martial arts with my life-saving benefactor and not embarrass my eldest sister." ”

Xia Chaoyu nodded when he heard the statement of the sixth prince, looked at Qiao'er who was standing aside and snickered, and said, "Qiao'er, go and help me get pen and paper." ”

After Qiao'er brought the pen and paper, Xia Chaoyu wrote a letter and handed it to the sixth prince and instructed: "Sixth, you go to the Shouchen Pavilion tomorrow to give this letter to Xiao Chongwu, the owner of the big pavilion, and remember to bring more apprenticeship gifts." Don't tell them who you are when you apprentice. ”

"Sister, where did you just say?"

"Dust Guarding Pavilion, what's wrong?" Xia Chaoyu asked suspiciously.

After the sixth prince confirmed that it was the Dust Guarding Pavilion, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I really can't go to this Dust Guarding Pavilion to apprentice." ”

Xia Chaoyu was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Why can't you go to apprentice, didn't the Dust Guarding Pavilion also defeat Master Li? ”

Xia Chaoyu looked at the sixth prince and looked bitter, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, slapped the table hard, and glared at the sixth prince.

The sixth prince was startled when he saw Xia Chaoyu slapping the table, and said bitterly from Xia Chaoyu's murderous eyes: "I made a bet with a few friends to bet on whether this dust guard hall can receive apprentices." ”

Xia Chaoyu laughed angrily when he heard this, grabbed the bait on the table and threw it at the face of the sixth prince and said angrily: "You get out of here." ”

The sixth prince was hit by this blow, picked up the letter on the table and began to run out.

Seeing that the sixth prince was holding the letter he wrote when he ran away, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot, so he asked Qiao'er to clean up.

Early in the morning, Wu You led the family to practice standing in the martial arts arena, Wu You looked at the family members at the front, and many family members began to tremble in their legs, and Wu You reminded them from time to time.

At this time, a maid ran up to Wu You and panted, her palm clapping her chest.

Seeing this, Wu You said, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

The maid named Xiaoyu pointed to the door and panted and said, "Second son...... Outside the door...... Someone outside the door is coming to apprentice. ”

"Apprenticeship is apprenticeship, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yuqi finally brushed it over and said with a red face: "The apprentice followed a lot of people, and those people were carrying things. ”

Wu You walked quickly towards the door when he heard this, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that there were many people in front of the hall, led by a handsome and noble face, and there were twenty people carrying ten boxes behind him, and there were also those people nearby who came to see the excitement.

Wu You walked quickly to the handsome young man and said, "You want to come to apprentice?"

The handsome young man looked at Wu You unhappily and said softly: "Why else is this son here?"

Listening to the young man's words, Wu You couldn't help but say, "The son wants to practice martial arts, are you ready to endure hardships?"

The handsome young man laughed and said, "The last thing this son is afraid of is hardship. ”

After speaking, he walked towards the door of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, and the person behind him also lifted the box and followed behind him, Wu You looked at it and shook his head and slowly followed in.

After Wu You walked in, he saw that the family members had also gathered when they saw this scene, and after Wu You scolded angrily, they all ran back to the diligent stump of the martial arts arena.

After Wu You walked into the middle hall, Xiao Chongwu also walked out of the study, and the two sat on the main seat and looked at the handsome young man.

After the handsome young man finished drinking tea, he looked at Xiao Chongwu's sloppy appearance, took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Xiao Chongwu, and then bowed to Xiao Chongwu.

Wu You watched the handsome young man salute Xiao Chongwu and paused for a moment. Then I heard the young man say:

"Pavilion Master Xiao, this is a letter from my sister to you. Thank you to the owner of the Xiao Pavilion for saving my sister's life, and I am here to thank you today. ”

Xiao Chongwu, who was also a little stunned by the young man's salute, looked at the ten boxes after hearing the words and said, "At that time, I told the girl that I didn't need to say thank you, but I didn't expect you to come to thank you today." ”

The handsome young man sat back in his chair and said calmly: "I came here today for another matter, my sister asked me to come over to learn martial arts, but I have had a problem since I was a child, that is, I never worship people who are not as good as me. ”

Wu You and Xiao Chongwu both smiled when they heard this, this kid is really crazy.

Then the young man looked at Wu You and said: "I also heard about the competition between you and Li Fan that day, today I will have a competition with you, if you win, I will be your apprentice in the future, and I will also practice martial arts with you in this dust guarding hall, if I win, I will still be the apprentice of this dust guarding hall, but you can't care about me." ”

Wu You listened to what the handsome young man said, no matter what he said today, he was the apprentice of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, but the arrogant appearance of the young man Wu You still wanted to beat it, Wu You slowly got up and looked at the young man and said, "How do you want to compete?"

"Naturally, it's a fight. The handsome young man stood up and replied haughtily.

Wu You looked at the arrogant young man and nodded, and the two walked towards the martial arts arena.

When the two of them arrived at the martial arts arena, the family members all withdrew to the side to watch the two, Wu You was wearing a black practice uniform on the field, and his breath was calm, and the fierce aura on the handsome young man on the other side began to rise.

Seeing that Wu You did not attack, the handsome young man ran towards Wu You, ran to a few steps, his body rose into the air, and a side kick went towards Wu You's chest, Wu You stared at the side kick and wanted to test the strength of the young man, and he flashed to the left without hard contact with his body.

"Bang!"

After Wu You flashed, the young man didn't have time to retract the side kick, and kicked on the wall of the martial arts arena, and the wall fell in response.

Wu You's face twitched as he looked at the wall, and the family members also looked at the handsome young man on the pile of rubble with wide eyes.

After the handsome young man kicked the wall down, he stood on the gravel and continued to run towards Wu You, and ran in front of Wu You with a punch.

Wu You was immersed in the emotions of the heartache wall, not playing with the young man, his left hand formed a palm and grabbed the heavy punch of the young man heavier than Qianjun, the young man saw that his heavy fist was easily grabbed by Wu You, and his left hand was about to attack Wu You's head with a swinging fist.

Wu You grabbed the young man's forearm with his right hand and said, "The strength is good." ”

Seeing that Wu You easily controlled his two hands, the young man said, "You hid your strength by fighting with Li Fan. ”

Wu You smiled and nodded, withdrew his hands and patted the young man's shoulder. He looked at the family members and said loudly, "Why are you stunned? Hurry up and repair the wall." ”

When the family came to their senses, they began to run to the pile of rubble and began to move stones, while others ran to the utility room to get the tools and the dirt for the wall.

Wu You looked at the young man and said, "Let's go, apprentice." ”

After saying that, Wu You walked towards the middle hall, and the handsome young man followed closely, and there was no longer that invincible appearance.

In the middle hall, Wu You and Xiao Chongwu sat on the main seat, and the handsome young man knelt in front of the two of them and kowtowed to Wu You three times and said, "Xia Ruiwu meets the master." ”

Then he took the tea cup handed by the housekeeper and toasted Wu You with tea, and after Wu You took the tea cup, Xia Ruiwu got up and stood beside Wu You.

After Wu You took a sip of tea, he looked at Xia Ruiwu and said, "You are the second apprentice I accepted, but the senior brother of this Dust Guarding Pavilion, you also said just now, if I win you, you will practice boxing with me." ”

Xia Ruiwu looked at Wu You with a look of admiration and said, "Master, I'll go back and pack my things now and move here to practice boxing with my master." ”

Wu You nodded, and the young man turned to leave. After the young man walked out of the middle hall, Wu You looked at Xiao Chongwu who was reading the letter on the side and said: "I said Lao Xiao, when did you save someone's sister? If we had known that the family of the person you saved was so rich, we wouldn't have to toss this dust guarding hall." ”

After Xiao Chongwu put the letter away after reading it, he looked at Wu You and said with a smile: "That day, we went to the hunting ground outside the city to find water to drink, and when I saw that his sister was injured and surrounded by two wild boars, I rescued him. Originally, I knew that the girl was not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be able to find me in this dust guarding hall. Today, this kid came to the door to apprentice, and his sister also said in the letter that let's discipline and discipline well. ”

Wu You nodded without laughing at Xiao Chongwu and said: "I couldn't stand the smug on this kid's body when he first came this morning, and he kicked down the wall of our house when he tried with me, but I still like the way I respectfully worship the teacher after winning this kid." ”

"His sister also said, this Xia Ruiwu has been born with divine power since he was a child, and he is a talent for practicing martial arts, but his temperament is out of character and he doesn't have much respect for those who are not as good as him, and he actually obeys you, you don't want to fish for three days and dry nets for two days to teach a good lesson. ”

Wu You heard that something was wrong with Xiao Chongwu's words, and looked at Xiao Chongwu without speaking.

Xiao Chongwu saw that Wu You looked at him without blushing and panting, and said, "People have given so many thanks, it should be." After speaking, he ignored Wu You, and walked out of the middle hall towards his room.

Looking at Xiao Chongwu who was fleeing in the wilderness, Wu You couldn't help laughing, and after Xiao Chongwu left, Liu Qi walked in with a gift list and handed it to Wu You: "Second son, this is the gift list sent today." ”

Wu You nodded, took the gift list, opened it and looked at it, looked at a row of calligraphy and paintings and celadon, etc., Wu You didn't know its value, and finally saw the gold ten thousand taels, he couldn't help but take a breath, closed the gift list, looked at the family members were carrying the box, and said in his heart: This kid has arrogant capital.

Wu You handed the gift list to Liu Qi and instructed: "Steward Liu, you put this gift list into your account and then buy some iron-damaged herbs in this Xiacheng pharmacy, and buy the best ingredients for your daily meal, and the standard is according to the standard of this powerful family, and everyone in the family will follow this standard in the future." ”

Liu Qi heard the words and thanked Wu You again and again, after Wu You laughed and scolded a few times, he turned around and retreated, Wu You drank tea in the middle hall and thought to himself which family this Xia Ruiwu was, there are many powerful people surnamed Xia in this summer city, after thinking for a while, he felt bored, and walked out of the middle hall towards the martial arts field, when passing by the osmanthus tree, Xia Chan fell steadily on Wu You's shoulder, and saw Xia Cicada Wu You remembered that Lingjun was either playing with fish in the pond or running outside to play crazy these days.

At dusk, several carriages stopped at the door of the Dust Guarding Pavilion, and then many people entered the Dust Guarding Pavilion with things from the carriage, and Xia Ruiwu instructed those people to move these things to their rooms in front of the door. After moving in, these servants also lived in the Dust Guarding Pavilion to take care of Xia Ruiwu's daily life, and Wu You and Xiao Chongwu did not refuse.

In the middle hall of the Shouchen Pavilion, Xiao Chongwu, who still had messy hair and a bearded face early this morning, was now dressed in a white Confucian shirt, with a white crown on his head, a ruddy face, and no trace of stubble on his face, walked to Xia Ruiwu's side, took out a letter, handed it to Xia Ruiwu, and said: "This is a reply to your sister, you help me transfer it to him." ”

Xia Ruiwu watched Xiao Chongwu take the letter to himself, and then looked at Xiao Chongwu's handsome gentleman's appearance and was stunned for a moment, thinking about the story of Xiao Chongwu and his sister in his heart, and only after hearing Wu You's cough did he come back to his senses and take Xiao Chongwu's letter into his arms.

Wu You looked at Xiao Chongwu's appearance, and when he thought about the morning, he knew that Xiao Chongwu and Xia Ruiwu's sister must have a cat, and he sat on the chair with a smile on his face and thought about it. Xiao Chongwu ignored the two and sat on a chair drinking tea.

Xia Ruiwu went out and called someone to hand over the letter to him, and after giving him a few words, he turned around and returned to the middle hall and looked at the two of them: "Master, Pavilion Master Xiao." Today is my apprenticeship day, I have already booked the apprenticeship banquet outside, and now the hour is almost up, let's go. ”

~~~~~

Half an hour later, the three of them walked down from the carriage, Wu You looked at the brightly lit attic in front of him and listened to the laughter of the woman in the attic, Wu You looked at the sign in the attic that said Lianxiang Pavilion, Wu You pointed to the attic and Xia Ruiwu said: "The apprenticeship banquet you said is in this green building?"

Xia Ruiwu smiled and said, "It's in this Mercy Pavilion, a good courtyard." ”

After speaking, he took Wu You and Xiao Chongwu into the Mercy Fragrance Pavilion. The curvaceous and scantily dressed women standing upstairs in the Lianxiang Pavilion had green eyes when they saw the three of them, as if they were going to eat the three of them, Xia Ruiwu's face was as usual, and Wu You and Xiao Chongwu had goosebumps when they saw these women.

A woman who was nearly forty years old walked towards the three of them with a smile on heavy makeup, and after hitting Xia Ruiwu with a handkerchief in her hand, she said charmingly: "Childe, you are here, these two friends of Childe are so good-looking." ”

Xia Ruiwu looked at the woman and bumped into Wu You, hurriedly grabbed the woman and said with a smile: "Don't come to this, hurry up and make arrangements, I'll go to the courtyard first." ”

After speaking, he let go of the woman's hand, and walked forward with Wu You and Xiao Chongwu, and after passing by the fragrant corridor, the three of them walked towards a small courtyard in the backyard, which was different from the pavilion, without the laughter of the women in the pavilion, and some were beautiful piano sounds and melodious singing.

There was a maid standing at the door of the small courtyard, and after seeing the three people coming, she opened the door of the courtyard, and after the three walked in, they saw that the light was on in the courtyard room, and when the three of them walked into the courtyard, the door opened, and a young woman slowly walked out and saluted the three of them, and then greeted the three of them into the room.

Wine and delicacies had already been placed on the table in the room, and after the young woman beckoned the three of them to sit down, she walked to the piano platform and sat down and played the piano.

"These are the women who accompany the dancers. ”

Wu You shook his head and said, "No need, it's okay to have the sound of the piano, but there are too many people to look upset." ”

Hearing Wu You say this, Xia Ruiwu walked up to the scantily clad women and said a few words, took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the chest of the woman in charge, turned around and returned to the banquet.

Wu You saw Xia Ruiwu coming back, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Ruiwu, don't come to this kind of place in the future, we martial arts practitioners must keep our hearts, don't mess up our hearts because of small mistakes." ”

The young woman who was playing the piano couldn't help but pause when she saw Wu You, who was less than two years older than Xia Ruiwu, educating Xia Ruiwu in an old-fashioned manner.

Xia Ruiwu suddenly stopped when he heard the sound of the piano, glanced at the young woman, and then explained to Wu You: "Master, I rarely come here, and I only come when I am entertaining friends. ”

Xiao Chongwu looked at Wu You's old-fashioned appearance, raised his wine glass and said to Xia Ruiwu: "Come and drink with us, don't care about your master, your master doesn't understand that this place is the best place to entertain friends in Xia City." ”

Just as the three of them raised their glasses and were about to drink, there was a commotion outside.
