Chapter 231 There are times when you don’t dare

Foshan Yamen.

Zhou Xiaoxing sent away the squires from Foshan, dismissed the other officials in the yamen, and turned down the reception banquet at the Shunde Restaurant, leaving Lei Yixiao alone, a man of thousands of households.

The two of them were sitting in the back hall of the Yamen, holding teacups and laughing.

"I've heard about Master Qianhu's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was just like the legend."

Insidious and ruthless, it’s okay if you don’t smile, but if you smile, it’s like the King of Hell is asking for your life.

When Lei Yixiao heard this, his smile became even brighter, and even his eyebrows twitched.

Zhou Xiaoxing is the number one scholar in this subject, and he is a good friend of Bao Longxing, the imperial envoy who not long ago beheaded Chang Wei, who was incompetent in martial arts, with a guillotine. Even if he does not take up a post in the capital, what is the situation when he comes to Foshan? Could it be that he knows about him? Your Majesty

Send him here to investigate the case?

As soon as we met, he said that he had heard of my name. Did he know about the business he was doing at Nengren Temple? There is no reason. Zhou Xiaoxing had never been to Foshan before... Huang Feihong, must be Huang Feihong...

...

Thinking of this, Lei Yixiao put away his smile and planned to test the Foshan parent officer in front of him.

"Where is Mr. Zhou? He is one of the best among people. His reputation has spread from the capital to Foshan. I wonder why you don't want to work in the capital?"

When I went to Foshan, I guess I was attracted to the Shunde cuisine here.

Zhengchou couldn't think of a reason, but with the advantage of clairvoyance, Zhou Xiaoxing heard Lei Yixiao's inner complaints.

Scare him.

Putting down the tea cup and leaning forward slightly, Lei Yixiao quickly put his ears forward.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm the most greedy for the Shunde cuisine here. I've never forgotten it since I ate it once in the capital."

This...

The rumor in the capital is not false.

Before Zhou Xiaoxing won the first prize, someone in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment said that Zhou Xiaoxing had a terrifying skill and could easily see through people's minds.

Later, there were some strange rumors in the palace. It was said that because of this function, Zhou Xiaoxing was deeply loved by the Queen Mother, and she repeatedly asked Li Lianying and Eunuch Li to find someone. The latter did not bother to look for him because he was worried that his position would be robbed.

Ah this...

The information received by Tianyan Tong this time is not accurate. How can I put it? The first part is quite reliable. It talks about the ability of Tianyan Tong that he can open at any time at will. The latter part is fictional. When did the Queen Mother send someone to find him?

, he didn’t know anything about it. He only met the Queen Mother once, and they didn’t have any interaction with each other after that.

But it’s not bad to let Lei Yixiao think that he has a powerful force like the Queen Mother behind him.

"Master Lei, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about when the Queen Mother will come to find me, so that you can take the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother?"

This...

Not really.

It seems that those rumors are true. If this is the case, it is too scary. I heard that if you don’t look into his eyes, your thoughts will not be seen.

Lei Yixiao laughed and lowered his head. He was 70% scared and 30% horrified, and said "I don't dare".

There are times when you don’t dare.

Seeing Lei Yixiao's appearance, Zhou Xiaoxing felt like continuing to play with him. Thinking of business, he sat up straight and said sternly: "Master Lei, I only tell jokes to liven up the atmosphere."

Lei Yixiao said "Haha" and raised his head, never looking into the eyes of the person in front of him. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, which made him feel better.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Lei is very skilled in martial arts. As for me, I happened to have learned martial arts for a few days and wanted to compete with you. I wonder if you can show me your face?"

The attitude is extremely sincere, the tone is very relaxed, and it sounds like an ordinary request.

Is it strange that these words are so familiar? Lei Yixiao repeated silently, "I see, these words were spoken by him to the local martial arts master Huang Feihong a few days ago.

He knew the meaning of these words very clearly. It was a provocation, a naked provocation without rejection.

Lei Yixiao raised his eyes, deliberately avoiding Zhou Xiaoxing's face, and observed the latter's body.

The legs hang naturally, as wide as the shoulders, hold the tea cup in one hand, put the other hand on the leg, and place both feet flat on the ground.

There is no foundation in martial arts at all, it is just a fake move.

"Sir, Lei is not good at martial arts and can't reach the level of elegance, so I won't make a joke."

For someone like Zhou Xiaoxing who has no martial arts skills, it doesn't matter whether he loses or wins, it's better to refuse.

"This is making you look down on me."

Pretending to be angry, Zhou Xiaoxing put down his tea cup and his tone became a little more serious. If he doesn't show off his power now, how long will it take?

"Okay then."

Don't blame him if you can't come to the stage. Lei Yixiao reluctantly agreed.

Zhou Xiaoxing took advantage of the victory and set a date for tomorrow morning. The specific time has not yet been determined. At the same time, he made a request.

"Master Lei, I have just taken up my new position. I don't know how to expand my influence. I want to..."

Lei Yixiao waited quietly. He wanted to see what Zhou Xiaoxing had in mind when he took office. He wanted to see what Zhou Xiaoxing had in mind, whether to kill any of the death row inmates in the prison, give a touching but useless acceptance speech, or issue an announcement.

New policy.

"I want to make our competition public and create an arena. I missed the Lion King Tournament when I was in the capital. This time, we can also create one. The competition between us will be the finale. What do you say?"

If you want to make Lei Yixiao fall into ruin and never have a chance to recover, you have to arrange it like this.

Injuries are inevitable during a martial arts competition, and when the time comes for him to beat Lei Yixiao to pieces, he will not arouse the public's anger.

Gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the common people.

Lei Yixiao raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He had no problem with the lion dance competition, and it was even less of a problem if he competed with Zhou Xiaoxing.

"Sir, is this good or not? Only if there are casualties?"

He is very good at martial arts and will beat people to death when he gets excited. But don't talk about exchanging ideas and exchanging ideas. He won't understand until you point it out.

With a sneer, Zhou Xiaoxing pursed her lips back, pretending to be in a dilemma.

Yes, he has always been very imprudent in his attacks. How many punches can kill Lei Yixiao?

"This is a question. What do you think, Mr. Lei?"

I know you have an idea, so I’ll let you know.

"Hmm...", touching his chin and pretending to think, Lei Yixiao put down his hand and continued: "Normally, you can consider issuing a military order."

I've seen it all, Mr. Lei thought of it himself, he didn't give any hints.

Imitating Lei Yi's smile, Zhou Xiaoxing touched his non-existent chin, quickly turned his eyes a few times, slapped his right hand on the table, and did just that.

"I would like to trouble Mr. Lei to arrange this matter."

Zhou Xiaoxing stood up, put his hands behind his back, clenched his right hand into a fist, and said goodbye to Lei Yixiao who stood up to accept his errand.

Watching him go away, Zhou Xiaoxing left the yamen and bought five or six Shunde dishes, seven or eight pots of wine, and four bowls of rice at the largest restaurant in Foshan.

In just one breath, we left the city.

When they arrived at the thatched hut in the suburbs, as soon as Zhou Xiaoxing dismounted, Tie Yaner rushed over. On the surface, she cared about her white horse, but in fact she came to greet Zhou Xiaoxing.

"Zhou...how is my white horse? Does it eat grass? Where is the water? How much did it drink?"

Seeing Tie Yan'er's charming and cute face, Zhou Xiaoxing took out the food, wine and rice from his horse and casually replied as he passed by her.

"I don't know, if you really want to know, either ask your white horse directly, or go to Foshan City and ask the horse feeder."

This means that her white horse has grass to eat and water to drink, and Zhou Xiaoxing has listened to her words.

What else are you asking? Knowing this is enough. She jumped up and followed Zhou Xiaoxing. When she smelled the aroma of wine, the little deer in her heart began to race.

How does he know he likes to drink?

Zhou Xiaoxing closed his clairvoyance when he came back. He returned to the thatched house as his own people, so there was no need to inquire about their thoughts, otherwise he would have known Tie Yaner's thoughts.

"Master Zhou, are you back so soon?"

Tiefu took the food and drinks with one hand and placed them on the table one by one. They were all Cantonese dishes. The soup was watery and not as spicy as the spicy and fragrant home-cooked dishes he had in Sichuan, but it was better than the millet porridge with vegetables they had eaten a few days ago.

Much better.

Zhou Xiaoxing is a good person.

It's just that I came back too early. When a new official takes office, he has to have a welcome banquet to entertain local officials and squires, otherwise it will be difficult to start work in the future.

When he sat down, Zhou Xiaoxing saw that Huang Feihong's movements and reactions were no longer as slow and weak as he had been when he left in the morning. Instead, he was much more flexible and alert, and at the same time, he had an extra disguise to pretend that someone had discovered his secret.

Is this good?

It's a bit fast, but it's acceptable. Huang Feihong has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His physical fitness is definitely much better than that of ordinary people, and he can become a martial arts master. His abilities in all aspects are not too bad. He is also an adult man, so his resistance is naturally

Better than those blind little guys.

Besides, with the careful care of Tie Yaner and his daughter, it is impossible to say that he is completely healed. It is natural that he has recovered a little or two.

However, the two father and daughter did not discover the solution at all? Are they just like Huang Feihong, who discovered it and pretended not to notice it?
