Chapter 53 Bragging was struck by lightning

PreviousBack to directoryNext
If you want to know what kind of immortal this handsome young man is, you have to start from the past two decades.

He Nan left Wei Kui in a small county town near Xiaoshan, and told him that his only task in the past twenty days was to guard Niutou, while he took Yu Ruyi and rushed to Luoyan County town at night.

Before he left, he made a bet with Niu Tou - the bet was whether Ma Mian would betray him. Of course Niu Tou cursed He Nan, how could his sworn brother abandon him and ignore him? And the conditions of the two people's bet were

Even if Niu Tou wins, He Nan will let Niu Tou and Ma Mian live and let them become their mountain kings. If He Nan wins, Niu Tou will become He Nan's subordinate and be driven by him, and he will not betray him for the rest of his life.

Before they parted, Niutou swore and shouted: "My eldest brother will never abandon me." But He Nan just snorted and said: "Just wait and become a cow or a horse for me."

Yu Ruyi was originally puzzled by He Nan's decision, but when she knew that He Nan was going to take her back to Luoyan County, she became clear about He Nan's thoughts.

On the fifth day, the two of them sat down in a wing of a restaurant "Shanhua Pavilion" in the city of Luoyan County, waiting for someone to come.

The person who came appeared to be a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in green clothes, with boots dotted with gold and silver on the soles of his feet, his wrist armor inlaid with beads and jade, a pair of cold iron mandarin duck knives on his waist, and two eight-point steel spears in his palms.

Everyone in Luoyan County knows and knows that Xiao Kelong, the son of Xiao Baoye, the prefect of the county, is also here.

But it was said that Xiao Kelong let Wei Kui go unintentionally. Although the fault was not his, he could not escape the blame. His father Xiao Baoye was a respectful and serious man, and his son was unambiguous when he made a mistake. He should be suspended from his job.

, so Xiao Kelong has been idle at home for more than half a month.

Judging from his father's appearance, he estimated that he would have to stop working for a year and a half. It happened that he remembered that Wei Kui once said that he was more suitable for practicing gun training, so he practiced at home all day long. But after ten years of learning boy's skills

He had been practicing swordsmanship, but it was not easy to change to spear training, so he thought of going back to Yanshan Mountain to seek advice from his master and uncle.

He Nan was also lucky and happened to catch up with Xiao Kelong at the last moment before he left. Early this morning, Xiao Kelong said goodbye to his parents and said that he would go back to the sect to practice for a while. As soon as he stepped out of the door, someone stuffed a piece of paper into his hand.

The note came, and it said, "I would also like to ask Shanhua Pavilion to talk about it." The person who sent the note only said that someone gave him money and asked him to wait for Mr. Xiao outside the prefect's mansion. Although Xiao Kelong didn't know who invited him so mysteriously.

But it was okay to have a meal before leaving, so I came to Shanhua Pavilion with a knife and a gun.

Weapons, of course, are generally not meant to be exposed to the outside - the waist knife that an official carries with him must be sheathed, right? However, with Xiao Kelong's status, no one in the county dared to stop him, so he just went with it.

He went, and the next scene happened——

"Is it you?" Xiao Kelong really didn't expect that he would actually see two of Wei Kui's accomplices here. He immediately aimed his gun at the two of them to prevent them from suddenly attacking.

Unexpectedly, He Nan did not show any hostility: "Mr. Xiao... I haven't seen you for half a month. Did you switch from being an official to a performer?"

He Nanneng was squatting in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion and was waiting. He also called Xiao Kelong "Master Xiao", which naturally meant that he had learned a lot about the situation in Luoyan County in the past few days.

But it has to be said that Xiao Kelong carried a big bag on his back and four weapons alone. If it weren't for his luxurious clothes and refreshing appearance, he could easily be regarded as a busker doing somersaults on the street.

.

Xiao Kelong felt his face was dull when He Nan said this, so he said firmly: "What do you care about me? Do you believe that I can call dozens of people to take you down right now?"

He Nan laughed softly: "You don't have to be so nervous. I'm here today to discuss a cooperation deal with you."

"Follow me? We are soldiers and thieves. What do you have to talk to me about?" Xiao Kelong raised his eyebrows and asked, but he still entered the side room and closed the door with his backhand - because of his three-headed and six-armed posture.

Standing in the corridor is really eye-catching.

"It's not poisonous." He Nan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of an unoccupied seat as a tribute to Xiao Kelong.

"Haha..." Xiao Kelong stood at the door and did not sit down. Instead, he watched He Nan's movements from a distance. Although he did not see anything strange, he still said: "I don't believe it."

He Nan curled his lips: "We don't need to go to such trouble to kill you, we can just do it."

Xiao Kelong naturally also thought of Yu Ruyi's last resort during the fierce battle with Wei Kui in the forest. If Yu Ruyi hadn't intended to spare his life, I'm afraid he would have been working under the Lord of Hell now. Thinking of this, he

She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and nodded to Yu Ruyi to thank her for not killing him before. Then she turned her head to He Jianyang: "That's what this sister does... Do you have the ability?"

"In a sense, I am stronger than her." After saying that, He Nan glanced at Yu Ruyi as if seeking confirmation.

Of course Yu Ruyi wanted to give He Nan some face. Anyway, He Nan didn't say "in what sense", and he couldn't be considered lying - in terms of bragging and bluffing, a hundred Yu Ruyi combined could not be as good as He Nan.

Nan, he nodded towards Xiao Kelong, confirming He Nan's answer.

"Really..." Xiao Kelong still didn't believe He Nan's lies, but he also knew that Yu Ruyi's strength was not even a little higher than his own. I guess they don't have any ill intentions now, and it would be nice to hear what cooperation they want to discuss.

No problem, I took off all my bags and sat down.

"What has Young Master Xiao been busy with recently?" He Nan asked with a smile.

Xiao Kelong didn't know what medicine was being sold in He Nan's gourd, so he said vaguely: "Practice martial arts at home."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Kelong's defense was broken by the next sentence. He was so shocked that the tea in his mouth almost spat out: "Do you want to be reinstated as an official... no, to be promoted to a higher level?"

"Are you kidding me?" To be fair, Xiao Kelong is really not very interested in reinstating his official position. He can be promoted quickly based on his own strength. It is not a bad idea to return to Yanshan to hone his martial arts skills in the past year and a half.

It wasn't the best choice, but He Nan wanted to promote himself as soon as he opened his mouth. Of course he was shocked and angry - wasn't he deliberately trying to make himself look like a fool?

"Hey... don't be impatient, just listen to me." He Nan waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Kelong to sit down.

Next, He Nan began a lengthy narrative that lasted for an entire hour - including but not limited to the experiences of the three of them, the overall strength of Yan Luo Village learned from Niutou Ma Mian, and the comparison of the strength of the three of himself and Niu Touma Mian.

situation, as well as the strategies and tactics he conceived in his mind...

This hour passed, but the food on the table was not touched. Instead, He Nan drank a pot of tea because he was thirsty.

"Uh... you are saying that Qing-faced Yama is probably still stronger than Wei Kui?" Xiao Kelong said hesitantly. In his impression, he could fight Wei Kui for ten rounds.

It's just like air in front of me? "Do you think I can deal with the people Wei Kui can't deal with?"

He Nan glanced at Xiao Kelong with a strange expression: "The Yanshan Jinghong Sect is behind you... I bet your masters and brothers won't leave you alone as a direct disciple, right?"

"Holy crap!" Xiao Kelong was really shocked now, "Let's not mention that I haven't agreed to you yet, you just want to drag my whole family down?"

The implication is "What's the benefit of doing this to me? I have to move my sect to help you?"

Of course, He Nan also understood the implication of Xiao Kelong's words. He slowly said: "First, Yu Ruyi spared your life, do you have to repay your kindness? She is my person, and your repayment of kindness will naturally be counted on me.

2. Although you suffered a defeat at Wei Kui's place, the credit of wiping out the big bandits who have been entrenched in Xiaoshan for a long time is enough for you to be reinstated. Coupled with your father's secret operation, your promotion and fortune will be just around the corner! Three

, do you know Yan Chunlai? He is my good big brother..."

He Nan gave Xiao Kelong three reasons from the perspectives of kindness, interests, and popularity. However, no matter how you look at these three reasons, they are not very attractive and lack the final word effect.

"First, Miss Yu did have a favor for me not to kill you, but that's not enough for me to risk my life to help you, right? Second, to get promoted and make a fortune... I'm the same with my strength, and let me emphasize one more point - no

I need my father to give me a back door. Third, although I am a little surprised that you can tell the name of Senior Brother Yan, I strongly doubt that Senior Brother Yan and someone like you are brothers..." Xiao Kelong is not stupid either.

Bian gave three rebuttals in a leisurely manner.

When Xiao Kelong talked about Yan Chunlai, his eyes were full of light and pride, and it was obvious that he admired Yan Chunlai very much.

"I'm not lying to you. Your senior brother Yan and I really had a relationship..." He Nan often lied to others, but this sentence was absolutely not false. The first day he and Yan Chunlai met, they made a date.

We went to have a drink, and when he was still drunk, He Nan asked to worship Yan Chunlai as his eldest brother. Yan Chunlai was always very heroic, so of course he agreed. So the two of them went to He Nan's residence to worship the Emperor and the Empress.

We shed blood and burned incense to become brothers.

Yan Chunlai was able to tell He Nan about Yu Ruyi's whereabouts because of this level of affection.

However, Xiao Kelong was obviously skeptical about He Nan's answer and ignored him while looking at the sky.

Xiao Kelong is the son of a prefect, so he has no worries about money or career. In other words, he has no shortage of these material things, and as for martial arts - he is already considered the best among his peers.

What's more, he is still very young, and his future in martial arts is limitless.

So for now, he really doesn't have anything that He Nan can use to hold him back.

"Let's do this...I'll sell you a favor after it's done." He Nan was indeed at a loss for words now, because he really didn't have any means to impress Xiao Kelong.

"How much is your favor worth?" Xiao Kelong squinted at He Nan.

He Nan responded without thinking: "For example, help your father make his immediate boss." He also made a machete gesture with one hand.

"Holy shit! Are you trying to murder an official of the imperial court?" Xiao Kelong is a good young man with a good reputation. This is the first time he has said "holy shit" today. For him, it's hard for him to do this.

This kind of rebellious behavior is really unacceptable. "Believe it or not, I will run out and scream right now, and then you will be chopped into pieces and thrown into the wilderness!"

"Hey... you're just kidding!" He Nan softened immediately when he heard Xiao Kelong wanted to call someone, "Then tell me what conditions you need to agree to me, you might as well let me think about it."

Xiao Kelong was also thinking here. Unexpectedly, Yu Ruyi, who had been sitting next to him silently, made a surprising statement: "The next Young Heroes Association... will be next year, right?"

This sentence struck a chord with Xiao Kelong and also awakened He Nan. He immediately understood Yu Ruyi's intention and continued: "Young hero, how about I protect you from winning the championship?"

This was the last sentence Xiao Kelong said today, "Holy shit", "You...are you really bragging that you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Although this sentence is more than ninety-nine times bragging, it also hits Xiao Kelong's Achilles' heel - he has always regarded Yan Chunlai as the object of his admiration, and he also inspired him to participate in the Young Heroes Meeting.

Show off the majesty of the Jinghong Sect and your own reputation.

But even his own master didn’t dare to guarantee that he would win the championship. How could this guy say such outrageous things?

"Let's do this...I don't ask you to help me deal with Qing-faced Yama. You just need to introduce me to Jinghong Sect so that I can talk to your leader. I will figure out the rest myself.

"This is the biggest concession He Nan can make. If Xiao Kelong doesn't agree to this, then He Nan would rather give up his plan and leave. Anyway, as long as the two generals Wei Kui and Yu Ruyi are still with him.

As long as you are around, go to hell with all the other Blue-faced Yama, Bull-headed and Horse-faced ones. "All the conditions I gave you before will count."
