Zhui Xu Chapter 1167

The latest website: The weather is hot, and in the lush mountains, all kinds of creatures are becoming more and more active. The chirping of cicadas, the jumping of frogs, and the swooping of birds are intertwined endlessly.

In the afternoon, south of Fuzhou City, Jiuxian Mountain.

The young man with a fine scar on his forehead stood for a while on the opening halfway up the mountain.

The cool wind blowing from the lush mountains subsided the heat, but his face was gloomy and his expression was not relaxed.

After a while, a friend wearing a light shorts came up from the mountain. A smile appeared on his slightly gloomy face: "Brother Zhou."

"Brother Zhan has been waiting for a long time."

The man with a small scar on his forehead is Zhan Yunhai, the "Tiger Shark" who is quite famous in Putian, and the one who hurried over is naturally Zuo Xingzhou, who goes by the pseudonym Zhou Xing. The two of them are famous for their fights in the green forest, and they had a deep personal relationship in the past, and now they have fought together against a "director of Zhou Tong" like Yue Yun, and their relationship is even deeper.

The two exchanged pleasantries, turned around and went up the mountain, Zuo Xingzhou looked at each other's outfit, already had a guess in their hearts, and said in their mouths: "The clothes you are wearing are really serious, don't you put powder on them... By the way, let me help today, who is the opponent, you should tell me the truth, how to fight, and how to fight, I have to know."

Zhan Yunhai walked with his head bowed, but at this moment his expression was complicated, and he said: "I don't want to fight, in fact... it's my father-in-law who asked me to meet."

"Oh, Huang Bailong?"

"Xiao Xiang'er's father is called Huang Shengyuan."

"Oh." Zuo Xingzhou nodded, "I've heard the name before."

"Huang Shengyuan really wants to send Xiao Xiang'er into the palace." Zhan Yunhai said, "Brother Zhou, you should have heard that the Huang family is a big family in Putian, the main branch is in charge of Huang Bailong's line, and Huang Shengyuan is a side branch. Although he also does things with Huang Bailong and is quite valuable, but after all, he does not have the status of the main branch. Brother Zhou told me about the money of the dog emperor's concubine the day before yesterday, so I went to inquire about it. Huang Shengyuan prepared nearly 80,000 taels Yinzi, I want to send Xiao Xiang'er into the palace to become a noble concubine, but I'm afraid I'm the only one who got in the way..."

"Eighty thousand taels...So Brother Zhan is afraid that your father-in-law will turn his face, and asks you out in private, is he trying to do you?"

"Probably not." Zhan Yunhai shook his head, "I have killed people in Putian in the past few years, and I have dealt with Huang Shengyuan many times. He knows my temperament, and he can't bite me to death. His whole family is in trouble. But the truth is In this way, Brother Zhou, I also have self-knowledge. How can I, a tiger shark, be able to beat this thing that he spent 80,000 taels... Damn, this old dog is so rich. My brother is the head of the Manichaeism church, and he has no conscience, so he can't earn five hundred taels a year..."

Zuo Xingzhou nodded: "Then do you want me to protect you secretly, or let's go together openly."

"I'm going to take a look from a distance. If you feel that Huang Shengyuan really wants to kill someone, then you can stay in the dark. But I think the possibility of a turnaround this time is not high. If it's suitable, I hope Brother Zhou will stand for me clearly." Stand up and support yourself."

When he said this, Zuo Xingzhou fully understood, and said with a smile: "If I had known this, I could still find a few good punchers in the city, so wouldn't it be better to call them over together, and I will guarantee you Even if my father-in-law and father-in-law have malicious intentions, they must swallow it obediently!"

Zhan Yunhai also laughed, and patted him on the shoulder: "In Putian, no one knows Brother Zhou's name of 'Hunyuan Axe', Brother Zhou alone is enough. And I don't want to call too many people, instead it becomes I'm getting aggressive here. Sigh, I have done a lot of things for the Huang family in the past. I thought they were a businessman and I was a thug. Although my status is different, it's not much different. It doesn't matter even if I become a married woman. Who knows... Sigh..."

As the two talked, Zhan Yunhai chatted about the Huang family along the way up the mountain. He was nicknamed "Tiger Shark", and he had the most rebellious temperament in the past, but now when it comes to the difficulty of this marriage, he just has a sad face, and Zuo Xingzhou can only treat him slightly with "it may not be possible". for comfort.

They possessed martial arts skills and walked fast. After a while, they arrived near the Longevity Temple on the mountain, and saw several figures waiting here.

The leader was tall and thin, with a serious face, and was wiping sweat with a handkerchief. He seemed to be Huang Shengyuan, the "father-in-law and father-in-law" Zhan Yunhai mentioned. , but looking around and there are tourists, it can be seen that Huang Shengyuan does not seem to have any intention of doing anything today.

Zuo Xingzhou and Zhan Yunhai went there together. Seeing that Zhan Yunhai brought someone over, Huang Shengyuan frowned, and then walked over. He got closer and said, "Little Zhan, this is..."

"Uncle, this is my good brother, the hero Zhou Xing Zhou who is called 'Hunyuan Axe' by people in the green forest. Brother Zhou, this is the Huang Shengyuan and Huang Yuanwai I mentioned. We always call each other uncle and nephew."

Zhan Yunhai himself belongs to the famous green forest murderer. He pulled Zuo Xingzhou over to give the other party a little warning: Look, my brothers in the rivers and lakes are also such people. It's hard to end.

Huang Shengyuan understood it at a glance, and immediately exchanged greetings with Zuo Xingzhou and exchanged a few pleasantries. After that, the other party found a serious topic, apologized to Zuo Xingzhou, and went to the side of the Taoist temple with Zhan Yunhai.

Zuo Xingzhou chatted with a few healthy servants of the nursing home next to him. After he probably understood that the other party was good, he walked aside with folded arms. He quietly watched the progress of the "negotiation" between Zhan Yunhai and Huang Shengyuan not far away. , it has already fallen on the task at hand.

As he and Ning Ji said when they complained, Zhan Yunhai turned the one-on-one duel with Yue Yun into a two-on-one match, and his reputation in the green forest would not be so resounding, but no matter what, at least with the court The position of confrontation is clear. If Pu Xingui, Cao Jinlong and others really recruit troops in the city, they can at least pass the entry threshold. The next question is who to contact.

If one's own force can directly compete with "Zhou Tong's Inheritance", then all one needs to do is wait for the other party to find him, but now this is not the same, so he has to take the initiative to find it, maybe he has to do something to vote for it. It is more troublesome. Moreover, in order to show that I need "work", I probably have to find a casino and lose a lot of money at night, and maybe I have to lose money and make trouble...

Why don't you just ask Zhan Yunhai for a sum of money and lose it all? First, it's more realistic, and second, it's the price for him to sabotage his actions...

In such secret operations, many times the plan could not keep up with the changes, so he was not discouraged, but he was just thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.

On the other hand, he is also more curious about the things over there. This guy was in the Southwest at the beginning, except for his brother and sister-in-law—no, maybe only his sister-in-law—he refused to accept it. At that time, his mantra was "heed to my advice, let's fight" or "you can lose. You can't kneel." Hei Niu and the gang beat him like a dog and he would curse at him... This made Zuo Xingzhou very curious, why did he become a slut, and he was able to squat four feet.

That "five-foot obscene" Long Aotian, who looks like a boy and a girl, is there really something special about him?

During the brief contact with the other party before, I only felt that this person's demeanor was indeed indifferent and generous, and he was somewhat superior. At noon today, I wanted to try something out, but the little four-foot obscene demon didn't let him out. In the end, I only found out that the other party was using a throwing knife...a flying knife? This kung fu is strange, it is said from Si Chi's mouth, let Zuo Xingzhou guess, could it be the kind of Southwest Flying Knife with a bang that is well-known?

If this person was the bodyguard who accompanied the Second Young Master from the southwest, then the matter would be better explained...

He was thinking about these things in his heart, and when he looked at Zhan Yunhai and Huang Shengyuan, the negotiation between the two was still going on, and it seemed that there should be no need to do anything...

Suddenly, Zuo Xingzhou frowned slightly.

The development of things seems a little strange.

Originally, according to his speculation, under such a situation, the "Weng son-in-law" and his son-in-law met, and the conflict might be difficult to reconcile. Even if they didn't fight each other, Zhan Yunhai would be angry and cursed for a while anyway, and even the confrontation and threats in his words were not serious. It will be less, but it seems... From the beginning to the end, Zhan Yunhai didn't get angry.

what happened? Huang Shengyuan's ranking is too high, what idea did he propose that could make Zhan Yunhai suppress his anger and keep frowning in thought?

Zuo Xingzhou shook his head.

To him, the whole thing was just a personal boost. Although he also asked Zuo Wenxuan about choosing concubines, after Zuo Wenxuan gave him a stern warning, he understood the taboo in this matter: the emperor chose concubines to make money to subsidize the imperial court, and concubines are of course not It doesn't matter, but throughout the ages, any courtier—especially a highly valued courtier—if he dared to interfere in the emperor's private affairs, he would always be executed and his family would not be wronged.

How many brains do you have if you think you are qualified to meddle in the Tian family's private affairs?

That's why, even though he had a personal relationship with Zhan Yunhai, Zuo Xingzhou was unwilling to participate too much or think too much about his relationship with Miss Huang's family. After shaking his head now, he no longer thinks about it.

But some thoughts suddenly popped out of my mind not long after arriving——

This day, Huang Shengyuan and Zhan Yunhai finished talking about things, and it was already evening. Looking out from the Jiuxian Mountain, the sunset in Fuzhou was brilliant. Huang Shengyuan was going to have dinner at Wanshou Temple and invited the two of them to eat together, but both Zuo Xingzhou and Zhan Yunhai refused.

Going down the mountain road with the pilgrims in twos and threes, Zhan Yunhai's expression was always serious, and Zuo Xingzhou was also thinking about the plan to find a casino to lose all his money and make a fuss at night. When he realized it, he wanted to say something A word to comfort my companion, but a certain idea suddenly formed in my mind.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhan Yunhai.

The man with the scar on his forehead reacted to the gaze, and slowly turned his head: "Brother Zhou...what's the matter?"

"I... just suddenly thought of something. Brother Zhan, your father-in-law and old man are on the mountain, did they lie to you?"

"...Why did Brother Zhou say that?"

"You also said that your father-in-law is determined to send his daughter to the palace. He even prepared 80,000 to 90,000 taels to complete the matter. He will definitely not compromise. With your temperament, Brother Zhan, I see that you have talked for a long time, but you have not quarreled...Then Huang Shengyuan can only say some words to deceive you, making you think that things can turn around?"

"..." Zhan Yunhai opened his mouth, but was unable to speak for a while.

"...Brother Zhan, this is your private matter. I'm afraid it's not easy for me to ask, but the world is dangerous. In Zhou's view, if Huang Shengyuan tells you that there is still a way to get the best of both worlds, wouldn't that be a big deal?" Is it clear that I am lying to you? If you quarrel with him and fall out, it is nothing more than something you did in the future, but now, Brother Zhan, you look like you have reached some agreement with him , I... I'm really a little worried..."

"...Brother Zhou is as meticulous as a hair, and it is true...that he has the little brother's matter in his heart."

"Hahahaha, if you walk in the rivers and lakes, if you only rely on two axes, Zhou will not be able to live today!"

"...Actually, although I had a fateful friendship with Brother Zhou in the past, there are many things related to the Huang family, so it's hard to say." Zhan Yunhai seemed hesitant, but he sighed, and finally said: "To this day The matter that my father-in-law and Lao Tzu mentioned to me is indeed a bit big. Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I want to discuss this matter with you, but I am a little hesitant. I am afraid of killing your life. If I lose my life, I lose it..."

The tide of the world is chaotic, and there will always be unexpected undercurrents in some places. At this moment, the sky was high and cloudy, and there were pilgrims in twos and threes on the path down the mountain. Zuo Xingzhou heard that the other party said this, and he had already realized that something was wrong. Take each other's shoulders.

"Zhou has never been afraid of losing his life in his life, but I find it interesting to hear you say it so seriously, brother Zhan. So, think about it carefully, let's find a quiet place and talk about it in detail. Said. One person counts short and two counts long... Don't be fooled by your father-in-law, at worst, it's not a big deal for us to **** your little Xianger out of your hands!"

"Hey." Zhan Yunhai nodded slightly, seemed to be sighing, and patted Zuo Xingzhou on the shoulder.

In the evening, the mountain wind was very good. The two of them walked down the mountain with their heads blowing, and then headed towards the lively direction of the city. The sun gradually returned to the west, the golden crow turned into a jade rabbit, and the light spots in the city gradually lit up, flowing in the market and the river bed. Zuo Xingzhou originally wanted to find a familiar restaurant, but Zhan Yunhai spoke loudly, so the two bought some dishes, drank two jugs of wine, returned to the dilapidated courtyard where they temporarily lived, and set up dinner.

Zhan Yunhai just talked about Zuo Xingzhou's concern.

"...In the past, after all, it was related to Xiao Xiang'er's family affairs. I don't want to talk about some things casually, for fear of causing trouble." He said, "Brother Zhou, the Huang family is a big family in Putian. It seems that they sell tea. Mainly, but in private, these businesses of smuggling salt and tea are actually involved.”

It wasn't surprising that Zuo Xingzhou poured wine for the other party: "Fujian is such a big place, as long as it is a business that can be done in the past, who wouldn't do it secretly? It's not surprising."

"They also participated in the killing of the 'yellow dog'." Zhan Yunhai said, "Brother Zhou, they want to rebel."

The flame on the table swayed slightly, Zuo Xingzhou touched his chin, raised a glass of wine, and drank it.

The lights flickered.

The carriage passed through the long street in the night, Yin Ping sat on the shaft in front of the car, watching the surroundings, while in the back, Zhou Pei was sitting on the edge of the curtain, looking at the street in the night.

The handover with Luo Shouwei was completed in the afternoon, and Yin Ping came out with the eldest princess to attend a small private banquet. Several people who met Zhou Pei were representatives of the big clans inside and outside the city. They signed contracts to buy some properties of the eldest princess. After the discussion, they didn't eat anything, and the motorcade came towards the east of the city.

The route chosen was not the way back to the Princess Mansion. Yin Ping suspected that after changing the person in charge of security, the Eldest Princess wanted to deceive her that the newcomer was not dignified, so she wandered around and protested a bit, but according to the Eldest Princess, She wanted to take a look at the areas in the east of the city that needed to be developed.

"After selling a few buildings, of course we have to think about how to develop other things so that we can continue to sell them in the future. Silver vases, there are some things that don't just sit in the mansion all day and look at the numbers, you can see them." clearly."

She said such a reason, but then it was interesting to see the night all the way, and she happily told her about the things she loved to play when she was a child, and even said that once in order to run out, she hid in a box and almost came out. Fun experience not to come.

How did it come out in the end, the eldest princess did not say.

"Is that the Gold and Silver Bridge over there?"

Walking to a certain place, Zhou Pei stretched out his hand from the curtain and pointed to a street not far away: "Go there."

"...Your Highness."

"There are two properties in Jinqiaofang, which are hung under the name of the princess's mansion. There is also a shop specializing in ice cream in Yinqiaofang, which is our own." The princess smiled and said business experience, "The Jinyinqiao was originally dirty and messy. , the main fish market. Later, an order was issued to change the fish market to the back of Yinqiaofang, and the night market was established. In fact, if the fish market is changed to another place, the selling price of this area will be more expensive...Let's go have a look."

The convoy then headed towards Jinyinqiao, and at the entrance of Defang City, Zhou Pei, dressed in soap-colored uniform, got out of the car, called for a silver bottle, and walked towards Yinqiaofang.

"...Your Highness." Yin Ping wanted to persuade again.

"You and I are dressed in regular clothes, and outsiders can't tell who we are." Zhou Pei smiled, "And, you just mentioned this morning, this place is the place where Brother Yun fought with two murderers the day before yesterday. ?”

"Well...but..."

"I just thought of it when I saw Jinyinqiao." Zhou Pei glanced at her, "Yinping, those two murderers fought with Brother Yun, and finally ran away, smashing a bunch of tables, chairs and benches around. With Brother Yun's skills, the scene at that time must have been quite tragic, right?"

"Well, yes...and a lot of blood..."

"I have seen Brother Yun's skills before, Yin Ping, so I just suddenly thought that after seeing such a fierce round of fighting, a lot of blood was shed, why did that fat aunt's nephew dare to fight?" You grabbed Brother Yun that night and tried to extort money from him, how dare you get angry at him like that?"

"..." Yin Ping was slightly stunned.

"Let's go."

Zhou Pei blinked at her, and then walked into the night market. Yin Ping hurriedly followed.

Not far away, they saw the food stall selling steamed rice cakes.

What is even more eye-catching is the grocery stand with two handsome young men standing next to the food stall. At this time, one of the young men was standing there smiling plainly, while the other, a sturdy looking young man, was standing there. On the bench next to the stall, dance your hands into noodles.

"... Selling things—all kinds of good things from Jiangnan, gold and silver department stores, jewelry and jade, self-defense weapons, and Zhengyi's elixir that cures the disease and strengthens the body without disease, stolen from the Jiangnan battlefield, and you can earn money if you buy it. Here we come, and the latest version of "Legend of Yan Jiuniang" and her special saber oh oh oh oh..."

The aunt at the nearby rice cake stand yelled: "You bastard, please keep your voice down, you're disturbing my customers..."

The boy on the stool stuck out his tongue at her: "I'm so mad at you slightly—"

Zhou Pei stood there smiling and watching this scene, Yin Ping beside him frowned slightly, and on the other side of the road, the young man standing by the stall with a clean smile seemed to have seen Zhou Pei as a "fat sheep". And the other boy with his hands flailing jumped off the stool at this moment.

Yin Ping's gaze suddenly became fierce, and he took a step forward. She was responsible, and this was a subconscious reaction. At the same time, the boy who jumped off the stool at the other end of the road swiped his head and looked over—and then turned back.

The eyes of both sides collided for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Pei was half-blocked by the silver bottle, and became curious.

"Yue Yun was deceived, there is a master here, I don't know where he came from..."

At the same time, on the other side of the street, Ning Ji jumped down and turned around, standing beside Mr. Qu Long, pretending to tidy up the goods: "Don't take the initiative to talk to the fat sheep opposite."

"Um?"

Ning Ji tilted her head without revealing her expression: "Most likely she is a rich person, but the guard following her is very powerful, so I was spotted."

"Yeah." Qu Longjun nodded, then said in a low voice, "It's the female guard."

"She's a gunsmith."

"How did you find out?"

"She stands like a gun."

across the road.

"If you can call him a master, it's because of his family background... Did he practice monkey boxing?" Zhou Pei asked curiously.

"No, most of them are practicing swords."

"Where can I see it?"

"...Your Highness, don't you think? He was so cheap just now."

"But I also practice swords."

Zhou Pei smiled, and knocked on the head of the silver bottle angrily.

The night market was bustling with people coming and going, and the two sides standing at both ends of the street confronted each other for a while. Since the young side had no intention of fighting, the vigilance on Yin Ping's body due to the responsibility of guarding also subsided. .

In the dilapidated courtyard, the shadows of lights flickered.

"Killing the 'yellow dog' and other things, nowadays, the big families in Fujian, which one can not be involved at all, you and I dawdle in the rivers and lakes, and talk about rebellion is not so taboo, but now there is a way to send your daughter to the palace. It's a good opportunity to go, he Huang's family, he doesn't want to clean up?"

"Huang Shengyuan's position in Huang's family is a military adviser." Zhan Yunhai also took a sip of wine, "If he really wants to clean up his crimes, the one who enters the palace should be Huang Bailong's daughter, or at least the main payer. This is what he has been with today What I said, I thought about it, is not unreasonable."

"...That's true." Zuo Xingzhou nodded, "Then what does he want you to do?"

Zhan Yunhai was silent for a moment.

"...Pu Xingui, Cao Jinlong, Chen Shuangran and others are currently near Fuzhou, preparing to do a big event. In order to do this big event, they have transferred some people from all over the country, and even some people from outside Fujian The vicious grand master and master invited by the three mountains and five mountains..."

"The vicious... grand master?"

Zhan Yunhai nodded: "Well, that's what Huang Shengyuan told me."

"Then what you need to do is..."

"Huang Shengyuan said that the matter planned by Chen Shuangran and others is huge and well-organized. Compared with those reckless assassinations by Tie Tianying before, it is different. If this matter is successful, today's The power of the imperial court and the majesty of the dog emperor will definitely fall. It is impossible for his Huang family to be tied to such an imperial court, so marrying a daughter into the palace is false. He asked me to find Chen Shuangran, and I must help him accomplish this. ..."

"He said... the purpose of sending his daughter into the palace~www.mtlnovel.com~ is to get you to take action?"

"That's what he said." Zhan Yunhai smiled boredly, "He also knows that I won't believe it, and I can also guess that he may have other arrangements. But no matter what, at present, the various clans in Fujian are acting against the dog emperor. They were very dissatisfied. Huang Shengyuan said that they would rather the dog emperor die or be driven away than the imperial court to stay in Fuzhou. This is a power struggle. Although they only occupy one place, tens of millions of people They are the clan branch, but they are not willing to compromise with this imperial court that rules hundreds of millions."

He paused: "I think what he said is true again...Brother Zhou, I want to ask you to help me."

The lights flickered.

Zuo Xingzhou quietly leaned back in his chair without speaking.

He wants to be reserved.

Outside the yard, the night was blurred. The wind is blowing gradually.
