Chapter Ninety-Six: The Pride of Heaven
Ximen Hitomi took a large stack of silver tickets, more than 20 of them, totaling 15,300 taels of silver.
He only glanced at it, but he didn't count, and threw it into his pocket. For silver, he obviously didn't attach as much importance to it as Hua Bushi.
The senior brothers and sisters all went to "Gejiabao" to fight, but let him come to Changsha City to pledge the goods, Ximen Tong was of course very unhappy. In his opinion, for such a small matter as securing goods and collecting money, it is enough to call a few gangs to come at random.
The goods that Ximen Tong took were the weapons that Hua Bushi and Shen Ying'er sold to Wu Yinghao, the deputy chief soldier, the day before yesterday. Half of these weapons were created by the "Evil Dog Gate Divine Weapon Hall", and the other half were from the Shen family, which was transported from Wuyang City and had just arrived in Changsha yesterday evening. Hua Bushi instructed Ximen Tong to escort the three trucks to the barracks under the jurisdiction of Wu Yinghao in the city, and then go to the deputy commander's mansion to get back the silver taels from the sale.
Starting from the rudder in the early morning, the road was safe and sound, and in less than an hour, the three trucks of weapons were successfully delivered to the barracks. After completing the handover with the quartermaster, Ximen Tong went to the deputy commander-in-chief's mansion, and General Wu was also very happy, and when he heard that the goods had been delivered, he called the account clerk and paid the goods immediately.
Pay with one hand, deliver with the other.
After collecting the silver ticket, Ximen Tong had already completed all the things he wanted to do when he entered the city today. It was still early, and when he came out of the deputy commander's mansion, he wandered around the streets, and did not plan to return to the "Vicious Dog Gate Helm" in the western suburbs immediately.
This time it was an extremely boring errand to escort the goods into the city, and the only thing that could make Ximen Hitomi a little happier was that he could zaijian someone again.
Walking out of the two streets, he had already seen the small building with the "Licui Garden" plaque hanging not far in front of him. The carved wooden eaves outside the small building are still elegant, and the door is still full of people coming and going, very lively, all of them are people who come to the theater to watch the play.
The person Ximen Hitomi wanted to see should be in this small building at this time.
The person he wants to see is the popular Huadan Zhuo Yiwen in the theater.
The last time I accompanied Master Hua Bushi to the "Pear Garden", Zhuo Yiwen's peerless demeanor on the stage made Ximen Hitomi fascinated, and then her fiery red light dress impressed him even more.
Ximen Hitomi himself is extremely handsome, and of course his eyes are higher when he appreciates the opposite sex, and there are not many women who can attract him. However, Zhuo Yiwen, the master of "Pear Garden", has been unforgettable since he met that day.
Now that I have come to the city today, I will naturally not miss the opportunity to come and see the face again.
However, when he came to the outside of the theater, Ximen Hitomi stopped and did not walk in, and he suddenly had a feeling of solitude in his heart.
So many men in Changsha City who came to watch the play in "Licui Garden" were all anxious to squeeze into the gate, with lustful and obsessive expressions on their faces.
Ximen Hitomi is a high-minded and arrogant person, although she has a good impression of Zhuo Yiwen, but when she thinks that she is sought after by so many people, and she is no different from this group of mediocre male drama fans, she feels very uncomfortable.
It wasn't a good feeling, it was unbearable for him.
So, Hitomi turned around and left, and walked back down the street.
He didn't want to see Zhuo Yiwen anymore, but wanted to find a place to drink.
When it comes to drinking, "Da Ronghe" is definitely a good place. Not only is the wine good here, but the master chef in the restaurant is not bad at Hunan cuisine, and the distance is not far, just on the side of "Jinxia Street", and "Licui Garden" is only a few hundred steps away.
Looking up at the gold-lettered signboard of "Da Ronghe" on the roof of the restaurant, Ximen Hitomi walked into the door.
At this time, it was noon, there were many guests in the restaurant, the hall was bustling, there were seven or eight tables of diners, and the doors of several private seats next to it were also hung with wooden signs of "guest arrival".
There were not many empty seats in the restaurant, but fortunately, Ximen Hitomi was just alone, so he found a small square table not far from the door of the row of private rooms and sat down at the table.
Xiao Er stepped forward to entertain, and Ximen Hitomi said casually: "Come to a jar of wine and fry three or four of your specialty dishes." ”
"What kind of wine do you want to drink, the shop has a fifteen-year-old 'Baiyuquan' wine, I don't know if it suits your taste?"
"Okay, I want this wine, hurry up and serve it!"
The little two who ran the hall went in response.
"Dingzhou Baiyuquan" is a famous wine in Xiangjing, and in the eyes of local drinkers, it is much better than the "Shaoxing Daughter Red", and the price is more expensive. It's just that the year mentioned by Xiao Er is a little shorter, and the "White Jade Spring" that has been cellared for more than 30 years can be called a real wine.
For the famous wine in various realms, Ximen Hitomi knows a lot, and almost all of them have been drunk. In fact, it is not only wine tasting, but also bird raising, pot throwing, horse tags, playing sachets and other popular fun tricks of the rich boy, Ximen Hitomi is very proficient.
Ximen Tong was originally born in a rich family, his father was a big leather merchant in Yueyang City, and the Ximen family was the richest and richest family in the local area. Ximen Tong is the only seedling in the family, and in addition to his two daughters, Lord Ximen has only one son.
God has a special favor for Ximen Tong, he is not only handsome, loved by everyone, but also talented and intelligent, he can learn everything as soon as he learns it, and he will be fine after a while. Simon's family has money, and Simon Hitomi is the baby's bump in the family, as long as he is interested in something, Lord Simon will immediately spend money to hire someone to teach him, from poetry and songs, to painting and music, and there are a lot of miscellaneous play and entertainment skills.
has been pampered since he was a child, and he wants to be windy and rainy, and he is much better than others in any aspect, and Ximen Hitomi's personality is inevitably a little arrogant, and even some people are nobody. To say that he is the pride of heaven is indeed worthy of the name.
When he was ten years old, Ximen Hitomi fell in love with martial arts, and the eldest master of Ximen immediately took out the silver taels and went to the largest martial arts hall in Yueyang City to hire the most haode boxing master to teach Aiko. Like everything else, Ximen Hitomi's talent for learning martial arts is also superior, he has only practiced martial arts for three years, and even the head master is no longer his opponent.
After sending away the grizzled boxer master, Ximen Hitomi packed his bags and got up and went to Wuyang City. He wants to sign up for the annual "Five Tiger Heroes Conference".
He was only fourteen years old.
On the martial arts competition, Ximen Hitomi used the fist and foot kung fu he learned on weekdays, and won five games in a row, and the results were impressive. The people in charge of the "Four Evils of Xiangxi" all took a fancy to this young man with amazing martial arts qualifications, and they all wanted to include him in their own sect.
Ximen Hitomi finally joined the "Evil Dog Gate", the weakest of the four gangs, which really surprised everyone. And the reason why he made this choice was because the rules of the "Evil Dog Gate" were the most relaxed, and there were not many restrictions on the disciples under him, and the young head Hua Bushi, like him, was also a young master who was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun.
Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. With Ximen Tong's personality, if he wanted to worship Qu Huze, the eldest disciple of the "Iron Sword Sect" who was serious and unsmiling, as his teacher, he was extremely unwilling, even if the martial arts of the "Iron Sword Sect" were called the first in Xiangxi, it would be in vain. Hua Bushi is completely different, not only is he easy-going, he is very good at talking, but he is also informal, he does not control his disciples, and it is of course much more comfortable to worship under his disciples.
After worshipping the master, Ximen Tong became Hua Bushi's descendant disciple, and of course the master had to choose a martial art to teach to the apprentice.
Hua Bushi first chose a foreign knife technique for him, called "Wuyue Chop", which was listed as a C-level upper level on the "Thousand Gong Diagram", but Ximen Tong refused to practice it. He felt that carrying a knife all day long was not chic and beautiful, only those vulgar martial artists and reckless men used knives, and a handsome son like him, even if he wanted to use weapons, he had to use a sword.
Hua Bushi saw that he didn't want to practice, and he didn't force it, so he really spoke very well. Soon, he found another kung fu for Ximen Hitomi, this time it was a palm technique, called "Liu Fu Palm Method", which was also a superior kung fu, but Ximen Hitomi still refused to practice. This palm move is feminine, the body is twisted, it is completely a woman's martial arts, Ximen Tong has a handsome face, there is already a bit of a boy and a girl, and then practice this kind of woman's palm technique, isn't it even more unmasculine?
Hua Bushi's martial arts for the third time, Ximen Hitomi was finally satisfied. The "Yanqing Boxing" moves are complex and ingenious, but they are quite masculine, and the body style between flipping and moving is agile and elegant, and it is gorgeous in the rapidity, which is the most suitable martial arts for him to practice.
lived in the "Vicious Dog Courtyard", but Ximen Hitomi's arrogance was hit like never before. He suddenly found that the senior brothers and disciples of the same age as him were all higher in martial arts than him, and among Hua Bushi's five apprentices, his kung fu was actually ranked fourth, only slightly stronger than the little girl Bai Yiling!
This is very difficult to accept for Ximen Hitomi, who has never had a competitor since he was born and has always regarded himself very highly!
But that's the case, if you don't want to accept it, you can't do it, in the "Evil Dog Courtyard", Ximen Hitomi and the three brothers studied martial arts, and almost never won. Although his martial arts talent is excellent, Yu Qianli, Zhu Hong and Li Hu's talents are not worse than him, or even better than him.
To change this fact, you must practice more diligently than others, so that your martial arts can progress faster than others!
In the three years after entering the "Evil Dog Gate", Ximen Hitomi practiced martial arts day and night, and his hometown in Yueyang was not far away, but he never went back once, but it was the Lord Ximen who threw away the business in Yueyang City and went to Wuyang City to visit his son. The only son joined the Jianghu sect, of course Master Ximen was very opposed, he came to Wuyang City to take his son back, but where was Ximen Tong willing to go, he didn't even have much time to talk to his father, all his thoughts were on how to practice kung fu well and surpass a few senior brothers.
