When Meng Ran woke up from his coma, there were two figures standing in front of his bed, it was Li Haoran and Geng Huyuan, and then he learned something from the two of them and thoroughly understood Zhu Tianmao's calculations.

Geng Huyuan, as always, said little and sat quietly aside.

Li Haoran sat lazily at the head of the bed and said, "Now you know the importance of knife practice, right? If it weren't for this month's hard practice, you would have been lying in the wilderness a long time ago, and you might have been gnawed to the bones by the animals." ”

Meng Ran, who was pale, smiled bitterly and said, "Seniors can't say something good and obedient? That's a dozen or four, it's good to win." ”

Li Haoran witnessed Meng Ran's fierceness with his own eyes, and he also knew how he defeated the strong with the weak, but he still said very unceremoniously: "Just those four three-legged cats? ”

Meng Ran raised his eyebrows and pouted, "Then why don't you make a move?" Why don't you kill those three-legged cats with one knife and make me lie on the bed." ”

"Phew, it's your own lack of skill, it's my business. Li Haoran reprimanded, and then said in a calm tone: "At that time, there were two guys hiding in the woods who were not weak in cultivation, and I was pulled by their qi and didn't dare to move. If you lose the first move, I'm afraid you can only meet in the underworld. ”

Meng Ran asked with a solemn face, "Is that old man really that powerful?"

Li Haoran nodded and shook his head, explaining: "Just that old man alone, I am confident that I can take his life within thirty moves." But in addition, there is also a swordsman with a strong breath, and I think it is also a cultivation of about six grades, if the two of them are combined, I don't have much certainty of winning. ”

Meng Ran's face was instantly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Xiaowu and Zhu Tianmao of the dog day, when my injuries are healed, I must accompany them to have a good time, otherwise I will be sorry for their careful design." ”

Li Haoran sneered, "You better take care of your injuries, revenge or something is a matter of the future, if you leave the root of the disease, your life will be over." ”

Meng Ran snorted, looked at Geng Huyuan, who had not spoken for a long time, and asked, "Uncle Geng, how is your injury?

Geng Huyuan shook his head and said, "This little injury is nothing, and it has almost recovered." ”

Li Haoran stretched his waist, leaned comfortably on the bed, and said casually: "Meng boy, you don't have to learn knives from me in the future, there are other masters to teach you." ”

Meng Ran sighed and asked, "How tall?"

Li Haoran picked his ears, "Anyway, it's taller than me." ”

"How tall is that?"

"You ask him. ”

Li Haoran pointed the finger at Geng Huyuan.

Meng Ran followed Li Haoran's gaze to Geng Huyuan, who had a calm face, and asked with a strange expression, "You mean that Uncle Geng is a big master?"

Li Haoran said angrily: "Doesn't it look like it?"

Meng Ran almost laughed out loud, but he was afraid of hurting Geng Huyuan's face, so he pursed his lips tightly, making his originally pale cheeks even more strange.

Li Haoran glanced at Meng Ran and said bluntly: "If you want to laugh, just don't drop your jaw later." ”

Meng Ran smiled firmly for a while, and asked breathlessly, "Uncle Geng, are you really a master?"

Geng Huyuan nodded.

Meng Ran asked again: "How tall?"

Geng Huyuan thought for a moment and said seriously: "It's as high as several floors. ”

Meng Ran remembered the scenes of the two being chased and ambushed by thieves, and remembered the picture of being subdued and disarmed, and couldn't help but feel sad, and asked hatefully, "How high is that?"

Geng Huyuan thought seriously for a moment, and then slapped his palm into the air, only to hear a 'click', and the stool beside him had already broken apart and turned into a pile of broken wood.

Meng Ran's eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close a little, and he looked at Geng Huyuan with a wooden face.

Li Haoran laughed and teased: "Meng boy, your jaw is about to drop." ”

Meng Ran came back to his senses and asked stupidly: "Uncle Geng, since you are a master, why are you still injured by those three-legged cats?"

Geng Huyuan couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't bother to explain, he just glanced at Li Haoran and motioned for him to explain the reason to Meng Ran.

Li Haoran didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Brother Geng's cultivation has been banned, so he will be like an ordinary person." ”

"Why are you banning cultivation?" asked Meng Ran puzzled.

Li Haoran didn't rush to say the answer, but just glanced sideways at Geng Huyuan.

Geng Huyuan bowed slightly, and said, "It's all a long time ago, so don't talk about it." ”

Meng Ran pursed his lips, so he didn't dwell on this topic, and asked a different question: "Then what kind of cultivation are you doing now?"

Hearing Meng Ran's question, Li Haoran also stared at Geng Huyuan tightly, although he knew that Geng Huyuan's cultivation was very high, but he was not very clear about which realm he had reached.

Geng Huyuan said in a flat tone: "Roughly in the early stage of the Grandmaster. ”

Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "That's okay, I haven't crossed the immortal gate yet, it's not too high." ”

Geng Huyuan smiled lightly and continued: "After a while, my cultivation should be fully recovered, and maybe there will be further progress when the time comes." ”

Li Haoran's heart rose again, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of cultivation did you do before the ban?"

Geng Huyuan sighed softly: "Grandmaster peak. ”

Meng Ran interjected and asked, "At what age did you become the peak of the Grandmaster?"

Geng Huyuan thought about it for a while, and said with certainty: "Twenty-nine years old." ”

Ignoring Meng Ran and Li Haoran's agitated moods, Geng Huyuan continued: "In the more than ten years since I was banned, I have a slight understanding that there is only a thin line between me and that person's immortal realm, and if my cultivation is exhausted, it may not be impossible to go further. ”

Meng Ran swallowed his saliva and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Uncle Geng, can you teach me?"

Geng Huyuan didn't refuse, but said softly: "Let's take care of the injury first, martial arts are not something that can be cultivated in a day." ”

Meng Ran was in a good mood, relaxed and lay there, no longer having the previous haze in his heart.

......

In the twilight, in a restaurant in the east of the city, Zhou Xiaowu was drinking himself, his brows were slightly locked, and he was calculating things in his heart.

"Come in. ”

The door opened in response, and two figures walked in, which were the old man of the Zhou Mansion and Zhou Xiaowu's henchman Hu.

Zhou Xiaowu raised his head slightly and ordered, "Sit down, talk while eating." ”

The two of them saluted their master, and they were no longer polite, and they sat down gently.

After three rounds of wine, the two servants put down the wine glasses in their hands.

Old man Hu picked up a chopstick dish, swallowed it without seeing how to chew it, and when he put down the chopsticks, he said softly: "Son, the situation in the east of the city is basically clear, and there are only three families at the most likely, namely the Xia family, the Yang family and the Li family. ”

Zhou Xiaowu bowed his head slightly and said: "These three families are not too far away, so I will work hard for the two of you." ”

The two servants nodded yes.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk enough, Zhou Xiaowu waved his hand, and Lao Lin and Old Man Hu walked out of the private room and went to the mansion where they had stepped on before.

Zhou Xiaowu shouted outside, and immediately a shopkeeper ran into the private room, waiting for the guest's orders.

"Remove all these things, and bring a good pot of tea. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The shopkeeper cleaned up the leftovers on the table and brought them out, and then brought a pot of good tea.

Zhou Xiaowu knocked on the table while drinking tea, and there was a trace of worry and anxiety hidden in his calm expression.

The night was getting deeper, the cold was surging, and Zhou Xiaowu, who had been sitting idle, couldn't bear the cold, so he took a big coat from the hanger on the side and draped it on his body, and paced slowly in the room.

At this moment, the old man Hu who was ambushing on the roof of Xiafu was also waiting a little anxiously, and he couldn't help urging the flower thief he had never met to appear.

When the night patrol husband knocked slowly, three times and four times, the old man Hu's heart was even more anxious, silently muttering, if the flower thief did not appear again, tonight's plan would be ruined, I am afraid that it will inevitably be scolded.

Fortunately, the flower thief did not disappoint Old Man Hu and his party.

Not long after the two grooms finished striking the gong, a black-clad night walker appeared on the eaves of the Xia Mansion, with a miserable grimace mask on his face and a swarthy folding fan in his hand.

Old man Hu looked at the lewd thief in front of him with a long figure and light steps, and was about to step forward to fight, when he suddenly remembered Zhou Xiaowu's instructions, so he had to retract his body and watch the black-clothed figure float into the courtyard.

In just a while, the flower thief had already swept back to the eaves, and there was a figure behind him, thinking that it was Miss Xiafu's daughter.

At this moment, Miss Xia was motionless, just lying quietly behind the man in black, thinking that she had been stunned.

When the flower thief was about to flee, the old man Hu Huo Ran got up from the spot, and as soon as his body moved, he was already standing in front of the man in black.

Old man Hu smiled coldly and said, "If you don't mind, find a place to talk first?"

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and the folding fan in his hand had already been handed out, and it went straight to Old Man Hu's abdomen.

Old man Hu snorted coldly, and suddenly there was an extra judge's pen in his hand, which was worthy of the attacking fan.

I only heard the sound of 'dang chang', and there were small sparks lit up in the dark night. It turned out that the fan of the flower thief was actually made of steel as the skeleton, and the judge pen of Old Man Hu was naturally made of stainless steel.

After a move, Old Man Hu took a step back and said in a deep voice: "If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that more people will come, if you are not afraid, you can continue to fight with me." ”

The flower thief put away the folding fan and asked hoarsely, "What do you want to do?"

"My son-in-law wants to talk to you, I wonder if you are interested?" asked the old man Hu.

The eyes under the mask narrowed slightly, and he said slowly, "What are you talking about?"

"Won't you know when you get there? It won't take up too much of your time. ”

The flower thief thought for a moment and said softly, "Lead the way." ”

Old man Hu smiled slightly, and flew in the direction of the restaurant, not worrying at all that the figure behind him would turn around and run away.
