Early the next morning, the escort heads of Hua's Escort Bureau, led by the boss Qian Qian, marched into the City Lord's Mansion to accept the inspection of City Lord Li.
The City Lord's Mansion of Shenquan City is located in the center of Shenquan City, covering less than 100 acres, which is several times smaller than the Hua family's mansion.
There is no way. After thousands of years of inheritance, the Dragon Empire has become seriously ill.
There are numerous powerful families, sects and gangs in the world with strong military force, and many strong men are ashamed to work for the government, which has led to the decline of talent in the Dragon Empire and its control over the nine realms of the world has become increasingly weak.
The government is becoming increasingly weak.
Having said that, Lord City Lord Li is still the undisputed ruler of Shenquan City, and no one can offend him in public.
Otherwise, please ask the princess to send troops to suppress you!
The princess doesn’t have enough troops, and there’s a governor above her!
And there is the Dragon Empire!
No matter how weak the government is, no family or sect can resist the thousands of warriors that come to attack.
In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, people from the Hua's Escort Agency and the Shenwei Escort Agency stood on the left and right, facing City Lord Li and a group of warriors from the government office.
The people from the two escort agencies glared at each other.
The hatred is too deep to be resolved.
Lord Li sat behind the official platform, his face elegant yet with a hint of determination.
But what was strange was that there was a screen set up ten feet behind City Lord Li, with the red sun on the mountains, which was quite magnificent.
City Lord Li glanced at the two big shopkeepers Hua Qian and Song Qingzheng, and slowly said , " Tax escort is no small matter."
"The soldiers at the front are protecting their homes, shedding blood and sacrificing their lives to wipe out the bandits. We in the rear must not have any problems with food, clothing, and military pay!"
"Since both Shopkeeper Hua and Shopkeeper Song want to take over our order, today the city lord will personally make the decision. Each side will send out five people, and the winner will win with their strength. It will be a 50-50 duel, and the winner will win with three wins."
"Shopkeeper Hua, Shopkeeper Song, do you two have any opinions?"
"No."
"No."
"Okay, Commander Wang, you can take charge."
A vigorous martial artist was ordered to step forward and briefly explain the rules of the competition. Song Qingzheng nodded, cupped his fists and said , " Song is following the instructions of the Lord of the City."
Song Qingzheng waved his hand, and five people, including him, strode to the center of the courtyard.
Shen Lijia whispered , " Brother-in-law, there are four people around Song Qingzheng. My father said they are the four elders under the main seat of the Aikimen Sect! They are very powerful."
Hua Duxiu said , " Sending out four elders at once is a great effort."
With Qian Qian's eyes signaling, Shen Feng, Hua Duxiu, Ren Biaotou, Xu Biaotou and others also stepped forward slowly.
Song Qingzheng looked at Shen Feng and said with a smile , " This brother is very strange. May I ask his surname?"
Chen Feng glared at Song Qingzheng , " Shopkeeper Song, do you look down on me? I still look down on you. Shopkeeper Song is not from Shenquan City, right?"
"Haha, I usually make a living in Tiannan County, and I really don't come to Shenquan City often."
Shen Feng cupped his hands , " That's really a pleasure to meet you."
After saying that, he stared straight ahead and ignored Song Qingzheng.
Song Qingzheng was a little embarrassed, but he was only halfway through his words and had to continue.
"If I'm not blind, you are the boss of Haozailai Xunhuan Building, Brother Shen Fengchen?"
Shen Feng said , " No, you are blind."
Uh, this?
Acting stupid in front of someone?
Song Qingzheng was suffocated, and Song Qiang behind him immediately said loudly , " Boss Shen, the shadows of people's famous trees are all mixed up in the world. Who doesn't know who? No need to pretend anymore, right?"
Shen Feng snorted coldly and did not answer.
Shen Lijia immediately asked , " Shopkeeper Song, are you going to fight today?"
Song Qiang , " ...don't fight."
Shen Lijia said , " If I don't beat you, don't talk. Don't make any noise in front of the city lord. You don't understand these rules? How can you open an escort agency? Why don't you go back and learn the rules before coming back."
Song Qiang's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said , " Boy, do you have the right to speak here?"
Shen Lijia laughed and said , " Then if I don't say anything, don't say anything either. We won't fight, so no one can say anything."
Song Qiang's face was ashen. He kept his identity and would not argue with a junior in front of Song Qingzheng, City Lord Li and others.
But this guy is too annoying, right?
Why did I stop that day? Why didn't I take the opportunity to slap him to death?
Song Qingzheng and City Master Li exchanged glances without any trace, and City Master Li waved his hands and said , " Don't make any noise."
"Shopkeeper Hua, a duel requires fairness and justice. Brother Shen Feng and Chen are the bosses of the 'Hao Zai Lai' Xun Huan Building. I know this."
Shen Lijia complained: My father gave you gifts several times, but he wanted to see you but couldn't. Now you know?
How did you know? You guessed it?
Brother Shen Fengchen, who the hell is your brother, you bitch!
City Lord Li continued , " I don't care whether your personal relationship is good or not, but the tax and escort is not a trivial matter. Today's confrontation cannot involve any foreign aid."
Shen Feng said loudly , " For the record, City Lord Li, ordinary people who have secret connections in Hua's Escort Bureau are not considered outsiders."
City Lord Li was stunned, a hidden secret?
Since it is a dark stock, it cannot be proven?
What did you say?
So cunning?
Seeing that Lord Li was hesitant, Song Qiang quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"For the record, Lord City Lord, Boss Shen Feng was once a famous bandit leader in Yanyu County more than ten years ago. Although he has now washed his hands and corrected his evil ways, in order to avoid suspicion, it is better for Boss Shen not to participate in important matters such as tax collection and transportation. "
Shen Lijia said angrily , " Song, thanks to your longevity, how dare you spit in front of the Lord of the City! Who is the bandit? Who is the bandit? Tell me clearly!"
Song Qiang ignored Shen Lijia and glanced lightly at Shen Feng and Qian Qian.
The meaning is obvious. Shen Feng has a criminal record. Although he has been cleansed for more than ten years, an official is an official and a gangster is a gangster.
This time I only said to let you avoid suspicion and save some face for you. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for telling more things.
After all, your butts are not clean.
Do you still remember the banner of "Black Wind Village"?
Whose family does that belong to?
forget?
This is the City Lord’s Mansion. It’s hard to say whether you can get out of the City Lord’s Mansion!
Qianqian waved his hand to stop Shen Lijia from speaking, and cupped his hands to Shen Fenggong and said:
"Brother Feng, Qingfeng Gaojie does not need a certificate, but taxes are a big deal, so please step aside for now."
Chen Feng glared at Song Qiang fiercely and silently retreated behind everyone.
There is no way, the waist is not strong.
Shen Feng retreated and was immediately replaced by another escort.
City Lord Li immediately said , " Since everything is ready, let's start immediately. Don't waste any time."
Commander Wang bowed and said , " Yes!"
Shen Lijia glanced at Hua Duxiu secretly, and Hua Duxiu shook her head gently.
Three wins out of five. If Shen Feng can't play, the only two people from Hua's Escort Agency who are sure to win are Hua Huan and Hua Duxiu.
But looking at the faces of Song Qingzheng and others, it seems that they are very confident in the strength of the five of them, and they don't care about spending money or spending money alone.
Do you want to win all five matches?
Hua Duxiu smiled and said nothing.
Commander Wang has already laid down the rules and asked everyone to retreat, leaving a large circle with a diameter of two feet in the middle.
Commander Wang said , " Have all the escort leaders heard the rules clearly? If you leave the circle or fall to the ground without making a sound, you will be considered defeated!"
"Invite the first person to fight."
An old man with a gray beard from the Shenwei Escort Agency came out and slowly stepped into the circle. Shen Lijia glanced at Hua Duxiu again, and Hua Duxiu nodded to Qian Qian and stepped into the circle.
It had only been more than a month since Hua Duxiu left Moliu Mansion and returned home, but during that time he had fought against several waves of people, and the Shenwei Escort Bureau had a general estimate of his strength.
Although he defeated the Four King Kongs of the Divine Power Escort Agency.
But those four were only second-generation disciples of the Aiki Sect with acceptable strength.
The person appearing now is the elder under the leadership of the Aikimen Sect.
The old man glanced at Hua Duxiu sideways.
What are you bragging about?
Isn't he just a seventeen-year-old boy?
Isn't it just some body movements/kung fu?
Spies sent by the Heqi sect to the Moliu Mansion reported that Hua Duxiu refused to learn swordsmanship, practice internal skills, and had a bad attitude. After only three years in the mansion, he offended the chief elder of the Discipline Institute and was expelled.
The old man looked Hua Duxiu up and down and sneered , " What a dandy boy who doesn't know what's good for him."
Hua Duxiu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"You don't even cherish a top sect like the Demonic Flow House. It seems like you are destined to hide in Shenquan City for the rest of your life and be a useless young master of a rich family."
The old man said again coldly, and Hua Duxiu finally looked at him.
"Old man, you talk a lot. You can't guess how comfortable it is to be a rich young master. After all, you are a poor man and you are old."
The old man frowned.
"Oh? If that's the case, then you shouldn't have come. If we start fighting, I might accidentally break your arms and legs, which would delay your comfortable life as a rich young master."
Hua Duxiu glanced at Commander Wang and said , " Brother Commander, this old man will leave if he doesn't hit me? Is today's competition about who talks more?"
The old man choked and snorted heavily , " You don't know what's good for you!"
Commander Wang coughed lightly and raised his hand, saying , " There is no time limit, the main thing is to spar, and stop when you are done! If you two are ready, let's start the first round right now!"
Commander Wang waved his hand, handed out Hua Duxiu's peach wood sword, and immediately attacked!
quick!
Hua Duxiu's peach wood sword turned into a red light. Although he did not use any fierce moves, every strike of the sword stabbed at the old man's vital points!
The old man's eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself: It is indeed as fast as lightning, Song Qiang is not talking nonsense!
Being able to fight against the four Vajras of Shenwei Escort Agency alone, his strength should not be underestimated.
The four great warriors of Shenwei Escort Agency are all outstanding second-generation disciples of Heqi Sect. Although their strength is not as good as that of the elders, they are definitely not weak.
Although the old man mocked at the beginning, when the fight really started, he was definitely not careless at all.
Looking down on someone is one thing, fighting against them is another.
Hua Duxiu doesn't seem to have any special moves, but the word "fast" alone is enough to be powerful!
The old man flapped his palms and fought Hua Duxiu on equal terms!
Everyone was staring at the two people fighting fiercely in the field.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and time passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the two had been fighting for nearly half an hour.
The fight was very intense. Hua Duxiu's internal strength gradually weakened. A layer of sweat broke out on his forehead and his breathing became heavier.
Everyone was worried about Hua Duxiu. After all, he was a young man. He didn't have enough internal strength, and he would definitely not be able to fight a protracted battle if his strength was equal to theirs.
After another stick of incense time, Hua Duxiu was almost squeezed into the half court by the old man and could not escape!
He was so exhausted from dealing with the situation that he could only defend passively, and was completely unable to fight back against the old man.
In particular, the breathing became heavier and heavier, and it was obvious that his internal strength had reached its limit.
The old man smiled: It seems that I overestimated you, after all, you are just a kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair.
It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Retreat!
The old man opened his eyes wide and launched a final attack on Hua Duxiu in the corner!
Just when everyone thought that this game was about to end, Hua Duxiu suddenly whistled, his body movements suddenly changed, and his speed increased again!
"Mysterious Nine Skies!"The knowledgeable onlookers immediately recognized the move.The Demonic Flow Mansion's "Demonic Flow Chi Fenghen" entry-level skill - "Mysterious Nine Skies"!Hua Duxiu’s last resort!Song Qiang and the Four Heavenly Kings were defeated by this move.Hua Duxiu quickly flashed behind the old man with psychedelic steps. Although his posture was awkward, he still revealed the supreme mystery of Mo Liufu's body movement/kung fu.“Come and die…!”Hua Duxiu let out a sharp scream and stabbed the peach wood sword in his hand straight into the old man's back!If this sword hits, even though it is a peach wood sword, the old man will be seriously injured!Because everyone could see the madness on Hua Duxiu's face.He is getting mad!He didn't care about the severity of his attack.Unlike the old man, although Hua Duxiu was about to leave the field, he still perfectly controlled the streng
Hua Duxiu fully interprets what it means to be a "man as windy as the wind".That’s right, at this moment, he is the “man like the wind”!As fast as a gust of wind, the gorgeous corners of his clothes were like a stunning beauty. He was so stunning that he lit up everyone's eyes.Hua Duxiu immediately displayed his unique skill "Mysterious Ninth Sky" without any preparation or restraint.No respect for the elderly or love for the young at all.He stabbed the old man with all his strength with the peach wood sword in his hand!"What!"The old man was shocked, and Song Qingzheng and others were also shocked!Isn’t Hua Duxiu exhausted and exhausted?How can he be so fast and so powerful?Were we just acting?Hua Duxiu was certainly not acting, he was really tired just now.But for him, performing "Mysterious Nine Skies" was as easy as drinking a cup of herbal tea.Song Qingzheng and others thought that
Song Qingzheng and Ren Biaotou were about to fight, when Hua Duxiu suddenly said , " Dad, I'm going back first."Spend money asking , " What?""I've been sweating a lot and feel uncomfortable all over. I'm going to go back and take a bath."Hua Qian said , " Oh, then I will report to the city lord."Song Qingzheng had already prepared himself, with his fists gathering supreme strength. Just as he was about to start a massive killing spree, he was forcibly held back by the father and son.Bitch!Hua Qian said loudly , " City Lord Li, my son Hua Duxiu has fought two rounds and is weak and exhausted. Please allow my son to leave first and go home to recuperate."Although this request is a bit rude, it is not a big deal.Just go?Hua Duxiu is not the boss of the escort agency. At most, he is just a leader. It doesn't matter whether he leaves or not.But City Lord Li hesitated and seemed reluctant to let Hua Duxiu leave a
Song Qingzheng was shocked by City Lord Li's words and stood up immediately."Ah, yes... yes, the princess!"Song Qingzheng hurriedly bent down and knelt on one knee.The middle-aged man with a kind face was none other than the highest official in charge of Yanyu County - Princess Shangguan Jie.Shangguan Jie waved his hand , " Stand up, no need to be polite. Sit down."Song Qingzheng hesitated for a moment, and when he saw City Lord Li nodded, he had no choice but to sit back on the chair obediently.Song Qingzheng was extremely shocked. Even in Tiannan County, in the territory of Heqi Sect, it was impossible for him to sit at the same table with the lord of a county so closely.Especially Shangguan Jie.Shangguan Jie is a veteran princess of Kunmo Valley with great influence, and is considered the man with the greatest hope of succeeding the position of governor.Unfortunately, Snake Valley Governor Peng Tianlin was tran
"Xiu'er, if it weren't for you and Jiajia singing the same tune, it would have been difficult for our Hua family to win in today's five-on-five match."Qian Hua sighed.After saying that, he looked at Hua Duxiu expectantly.Hua Duxiu waved his hand , " Don't try to drag me down with this, okay?""This time Jiajia plotted against me and made me sweat a lot, and I haven't dealt with him yet. What, do you still want me to go out and fight with others?"Hua Qian choked and said with a wry smile , " How could that be possible? All fathers hope for the best for their children. Who would encourage their children to go out and fight?""But my Xiu'er is very smart. I want to talk to you about what happened today."Hua Duxiu washed his hands and said , " Smart is smart, but forget about being the best!"Hua Duxiu said this, glancing at Hua Qian's head with his slender phoenix eyes.Before getting up and going out every day, Hua Qian
Hua Duxiu frowned , " Mobei?"Hua Qian happily said , " Yes, yes, do you want to learn? If you do, Dad will send someone over to give you a gift. No matter how much money you spend, Dad will definitely break down their door!""Dad, could you please not be so vulgar?"Hua Duxiu was speechless. What does it mean to throw money at it?Is this a blatant bribe?Can't you be a little more elegant?For example, giving some calligraphy and paintings, some antiques, or some magical weapons as gifts without leaving any trace?This will make people happy to receive.If you just spend money directly, won’t they have any face?Are you willing to take it?They are all people of status and position, so they should do things in a subtle and silent way.Look at Miss Yaoyao, what did she give as a gift? When she opened the box in broad daylight, no one would think it was vulgar, but would praise her for her thoughtfulness and ta
Qian Hua laughed and said , " What descendants of the demon race? Those are only in novels. How can they exist in reality?"Hua Duxiu picked up the orange juice and took a sip , " It's boring!"Hua Qian said , " Haven't you always wanted to know what your father wears around his neck since you were a child?"Hua Qian said this and gently took off the pendant hanging around her neck.Hua Duxiu was stunned, took the pendant, and looked at it carefully over and over again.A flat golden ball.Ever since Hua Duxiu could remember, Hua Xin almost never took it off, and even though he had doted on Hua Duxiu since she was a child, he would not allow Hua Duxiu to touch it.Over time, Hua Duxiu lost interest in the pendant and even forgot its existence."The secret of our Hua family's eyes is hidden in it. Not only that, it has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that it also records the secret of the devil from a t
Hua Qian said and gave Hua Duxiu a thumbs up.Where is the anger on your face?Hua Duxiu smiled and said , " Dad, we should stop complimenting each other."Qian Qian smiled heartily and everyone sat down.Shen Lijia rolled her eyes and said softly , " Brother-in-law, I have prepared a plan for the competition in Yanyu County. Now that we have decided directly, wouldn't we have no chance?"Hua Duxiu said , " If you don't have it, just don't have it. You're always a scheming person. It's not good."Shen Lijia scratched his head and thought to himself: Isn't this what you asked me to plan?Qian Hua asked , " Just let this go? It's so unfair to us. Should I go to the City Lord's Mansion, or even go to the Princess' Mansion to make a scene?"Hua Duxiu thought about it, shook his head and said , " Forget it, why put on that show? When Master Wang returns today, he will report my father's dissatisfaction truthfully."Hua Qian nod
