Xiao Han was stunned and said: "How do I know who he is? Isn't he just an old man who can drive cats?" Then he suddenly exclaimed: "You won't tell me that he is the boss of the twelve, right?" Hu Yunzhao shook his head and said: "The twelve murderers are second-hand subordinates, I heard that the boss can drive mice, but this person drives wild cats, cats and mice are natural enemies, naturally not the twelve murderers." ”

Xiao Han frowned and said, "Since that's the case, no matter what he does, let's go back." Hu Yunzhao was stunned and said: "Don't you want to know who Miss Meng worships as her teacher?" Xiao Han's face suddenly turned cold and said: "Meng Wanxi is too rude, she has always been against the head of this family, if it weren't for the eyes of Ying'er and Senior Sister Chai, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about her life or death." ”

Li Yueying rolled her eyes and said, "That's it, this girl has become bad after not seeing her for a few days, and she dares to attack me?" Chai Xinyue sighed: "People can change." ”

Xiao Han glanced at her, and Chai Xinyue immediately turned her face to the side. Murong Qiuyu said: "It's important for everyone to hurry, let's talk about everything back in Tokyo." ”

Hu Yunzhao didn't expect Xiao Han to be uninterested in his words, so he suddenly became a little anxious, and said loudly: "This person, Elder Chu, should have also heard that we were able to get out of the valley safely this time, thanks to the blessing of Miss Meng." When he said this, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at Chu Tianshu together.

Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hu, don't mention this matter." Hu Yunzhao shook his head and said: "We provoked this old monster today, if it weren't for Miss Meng's opening up, none of us would be able to escape." ”

Xiao Han wondered how he could speak for Meng Wanxi, and snorted: "Meng Wanxi and Hu Gongzi have no relatives and no reason, how can Hu Gongzi speak for her?"

Chu Tianshu sighed and said: "The road we just went out of the valley is called 'Valley of the Dead', which is the territory of the old man, what Hu Gongzi said is good, if it weren't for Miss Meng worshipping him as a teacher, we would have been wiped out today." ”

Xiao Han was suddenly a little afraid, looked at Chu Tianshu and said, "Do you know that person, why didn't you say it earlier?" Chu Tianshu said with an embarrassed face: "This old man should be about the same age as Jun's predecessors, according to legend, he was injured by love decades ago, and he hid here alone, making a radius of twenty miles a forbidden area, and the trespasser died." Twenty years ago, because I stole the treasures of the Great Zhou Palace, I was pursued by Emperor Sejong's personal guards all the way to Funiu Mountain, and I strayed into the Valley of the Dead, and almost died at the hands of that man. ”

When Li Yueying heard about this for the first time, she immediately became interested, and said happily: "Brother Chu still has this matter, what did you steal? Why didn't the old monster kill you?" Chai Xinyue's eyes also flashed, and she said softly: "Brother Chu is invincible, I don't know what I take, I will provoke my father to send someone to hunt you down." ”

Chu Tianshu didn't want to expose his ugliness in front of so many people, but Hu Yunzhao insisted on whitewashing Meng Wanxi, so he pushed him to the edge of the cliff, and said with a red face: "I took a jade hairpin from Queen Fu's head back then, but I didn't expect it to alarm the palace guards." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Li Yueying pouted and said: "Your light skills are so high, they naturally can't catch up with you, why do you want to escape to the Valley of the Dead?" Chu Tianshu sighed and said: " It's hard to say, Emperor Shizong is wise and martial, and Shaolin Temple head Xingkong Master has a lot of friendship, Sanzong issued a chase and kill order, 36 sent thousands of people to encircle and suppress me, although the world is big, it is difficult for me to have a place, fortunately I know some disguise techniques, hiding in Tibet, all the way to Funiu Mountain, I thought I could be safe temporarily, but I didn't expect to alarm the guards, and I was driven all the way into the Valley of the Dead. ”

Even Xiao Han, who heard Chu Tianshu talk about his story for the first time, surrounded him, and Xing Anping urged repeatedly: "What happened later? Why didn't the old monster kill you?"

At this time, it was getting late, and Guan Xiangming was already instructing his disciples to find a place to rest, and another disciple set out to find the place where the horses had been put before, and brought hundreds of healthy horses over so that they could be used when they returned to Beijing the next day.

Chu Tianshu saw that everyone was surrounding him, his eyes lit up one by one, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Let's rest and eat first, okay? I'll continue later." Bai Xiaoqi stepped forward and hugged his leg and said, "I'm not hungry, uncle will finish talking first, okay? Is that old monster very powerful? Why do you have so many cats? Why didn't you kill uncle?"

Everyone laughed, and Chu Tianshu smiled awkwardly: "If you kill me, where can I still stand here and talk to you?" Xiao Han smiled: "Since Senior Brother Chu is called a thief, he is different from others. ”

Chu Tianshu shook his head and said: "That's not the case, I just entered the valley less than ten steps, and I saw a figure rushing towards me, I was younger than I was young, I thought that although my kung fu was not as good as the three sects, but I was also one of the best in the rivers and lakes, who knew that I would be captured alive after two moves, I thought I would die, who knew that the old man was just about to kill me, and suddenly saw the jade hairpin on my body, and actually stopped and asked me where this thing came from." Naturally, I wanted to make up something to deceive him, but I didn't expect him to be stunned for a long time after listening to me, and finally let me go out of the valley, so I escaped with my life. ”

Everyone didn't want to be so legendary, even Xiao Han was interested in the jade hairpin, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't that hairpin on the head of Queen Fu?

Chu Tianshu's face was slightly smug, and Murong Qiuyu said softly: "How did the eldest brother make up a story to deceive him?" Li Yueying followed: "Don't sell it, okay? I'm hungry." ”

Chai Xinyue said softly: "The queen mother of the jade hairpin gave it to me, and I didn't see anything strange." Chu Tianshu glanced at her, shook his head and said, "I lied to the old man and said that Emperor Sejong rewarded my wife for my meritorious service in helping him listen to the news of the Liao Kingdom." ”

Li Yueying smiled: "Where are you from, madame?" Everyone also smiled together. Xiao Han frowned slightly and said: "How can he not recognize such a shoddy lie?" Chu Tianshu said: "He naturally didn't believe it, but fortunately, I traveled all over the country back then, and knew many chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes, and the thieves of the green forest, so I cited a few people to testify, looking at his age, and pulled up to Taizu, but I didn't expect that by mistake, he actually knew Taizu, so he let me go." ”

Xiao Han calculated, twenty years ago, that is, in 943 AD, it was the time of Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, this old man was only in his sixties at the time according to his age, Guo Wei was forty years old at the time, and he was in the prime of life, and it was possible for the two to know each other.

But just a small jade hairpin spared Chu Tianshu's life, which is too mysterious, and there must be other reasons for it. Seeing Chu Tianshu's face, Xiao Han lazily asked, and after listening to his speech, he led everyone to find a place to rest.

After a night of silence, the next day we got up, got on our horses, and headed for Tokyo. Xiao Han walked side by side with Li Yueying and Murong Qiuyu, followed by Chai Xinyue and Chu Tianshu. Behind them were the four masters and servants of Hu Yunzhao and the disciples of all the sects, and when it came to Meng Wanxi along the way, Li Yueying was still indignant. Fortunately, Murong Qiuyu persuaded from the side, and talked about Meng Wanxi's release of them out of the valley, which made Li Yueying temporarily angry.

A few days later, they returned to Tokyo, and the five factions divided their money and money and left one after another to go back to rest. The dead and wounded disciples had their own Wudang sent a generous pension, each of the dead disciples had fifty taels of silver, and the wounded had ten taels. Li Yueying's casually said reward was canceled because the wild cat took the initiative to retreat, which made Xiao Han really relieved.

Rao is like this, after the calculation of various expenses, it is still not enough, so Chai Xinyue has to come forward to go back to the palace to borrow money. Xiao Han was grateful, and immediately ordered someone to bring the ashes of the dead disciples of his sect and the injured disciples back to the mountain for burial, and at the same time urgently summoned Wan Shicheng, who had come to Tokyo a few months ago to preside over the work of the garment factory, to bring money.

Wan Shicheng brought a few handymen over, and after everyone saw each other, they repaid Chai Xinyue's loan, and began to report on the operation of the garment factory.

Since the extermination of the Wuji Gang that robbed the Wudang faction's clothing, no one on the rivers and lakes dared to attack the Wudang faction easily, and Jinling had already sent people to contact the Wudang faction and intended to open a new garment factory in Jinling.

The monthly profit of the garment factory was stable at about 3,000 taels, and according to Xiao Han's instructions, Wan Shicheng led people to inspect thousands of people, reviewed the height and weight of the Great Song Dynasty people in detail, and developed clothes from hats to clothes, shoes and socks, of course, this was drawn by Xiao Han.

Xiao Han had already applied for a patent to the Great Song Dynasty, as long as similar products were found in the market, the Great Song Dynasty government would go out to suppress them, ensuring the monopoly position of the Xiao Han Garment Factory, of course, Xiao Han also paid 30% of the profits to the government as taxes.

The performance of the restaurant is mediocre, after all, stir-fry is not a strange thing, it is easy to be imitated, a trick can be eaten all over the world, if you want to make a lot of money, you must work the development of new products. It's a pity that Xiao Hanyi didn't have time, and second, he was not a professional chef, so he had to sigh and choose to give up.

What you gain must be lost, and what you ask for must pay the corresponding price. Xiao Han originally had a novelty, and if he took it out, he would definitely make a fortune, but unfortunately this thing was too sensitive and more likely to lead people to misunderstand, so it has been postponed to this day.

Now the space for further profit is narrowing, forcing him to take this step. The two locked up in the guest room and discussed for a long time, only to see that everything was done, and the old face was flushed, and he walked out with two pieces of paper.

When he went out, he happened to bump into Li Yueying, so frightened that the old man hurriedly put the paper in his arms, and left in a hurry with a few nonsense. Li Yueying was very strange, and came over to ask Xiao Han what was going on, and Xiao Han told him that everything would only talk nonsense if he suffered from the wind and cold.

Chai Xinyue has returned to the palace, and Hu Yunzhao's master and servant have also come to say goodbye and go back, and now Hongyu is nowhere to be found, which makes him very worried. Xiao Han told him to be careful of Shi Chuyang, and sent the White Elephant Rudder disciples to escort the four of them to the Divine Sect station.

At this time, there were less than ten days before June 16, and the Wudang disciples rarely rested, and each received a tael of silver from Chu Tianshu to hang out in the capital. The Wudang faction has distinct costumes, and everyone naturally knows it everywhere they go, coupled with the previous Xiao Han Tokyo fight, the people of Tokyo are quite interested in the Wudang faction, and some young disciples surround them to ask whether the Wudang faction recruits disciples.
