& In front of him stood the young thief king, with a face that was half handsome and half evil. His brows and eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, making it difficult to tell his true age. The old man had a pair of extremely bright eyes, and there was something in his deep gaze that definitely belonged to him.
The liveliness and agility of this age is just like the energy and blood in his body at this moment, which is joyful and lively and seems to be full of power. Who else in the world is there such a pair of eyes at this age? Who else is Dong Zhaofeng, the first martial arts master?
"After all, I still alarmed you." Li Huqiu smiled sadly. "If I told you that the matter had nothing to do with me, I still wanted to help Chu Lie at that time. Would you believe it?"
"letter!"
"Do you believe it?"
"I believe there is only Huqiu, the lawless thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and there is no thief king Huqiu who betrays his country and seeks glory and harms his fellow sects." Dong Zhaofeng's eyes on Li Huqiu have never changed. The old man's trust in the thief king began many years ago.
A snowfall. The old man picked up in the doorway met the little thief who had a heart that was not stained by the dirt, and they formed a lifelong friend who was both a teacher and a friend. Many years later, the little thief has become the king of thieves, but his innocent heart is still the same.
Even without causing trouble, the master's discerning eye is still unparalleled. Li Huqiu felt warm in his heart and said with a wry smile: "In that case, why did you bother to make this trip?"
"They said they had to catch them alive." Dong Zhaofeng said with a smile: "It's not easy to catch your kid. They and I won't worry if others come."
"I need time." Li Huqiu's eyes showed determination, and his spirit and body were united and he was full of energy, which was beyond comparison with the past.
"It will be a week at most. Someone is anxious to see you." Dong Zhaofeng saw that the expression on his face was even better than the last time we met. He felt very comforted and said with a smile: "You have changed a lot. The old chief has seen it."
Must be very happy."
"No one can exist forever. The road I have to take is not easy to walk, and it will be very long. I can't hide behind him just because something happens." Li Huqiu said firmly: "Chu Lie and I are called rivals, but in fact we are rivals.
Good friend, his injuries are not serious. You can just stay and heal him first. I have met the person who hurt him once. I know his origin. If I follow the clues, I believe I can find him soon.
It’s just that we have time to ask you, Master Dong****”
Dong Zhaofeng shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible! One week at most. You have to understand the good intentions of the superiors in arranging for me to come. It's not that you don't know Chu Lie's family background. You must not underestimate the power of the military. The General Staff's responsibility for this matter
Mr. Chu is really anxious. If it weren’t for my friendship with the three generations of the Chu family to mediate it, I’m afraid the Heavenly Soldiers Team of the General Staff’s Special Warfare Division would have been dispatched long ago. The five old men there are all my old friends, and they all have wooden fish heads and are inhumane.
Recently, Xiao Qiu Ba, who had mastered Nei Ba Ji reverse training and gained a strong physique, was able to fight against the five masters of the Heavenly Soldiers Group alone with a sniper rifle at a distance of 1,500 meters. In the end, only one of the five people narrowly defeated him when he got close to him.
It's just a drill, but the strength of those five people is comparable to Gao Gejun, so you should be able to imagine how powerful they are."
Li Huqiu smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of Ye Xuhe?"
"Demon Ye Xuhe, the little devil master who held a Ten Thousand Nations Tournament in Nanyang during World War II and killed countless Chinese martial arts masters, and was finally defeated by Kong Wenlong." Dong Zhaofeng said, of course I know this person, what's wrong? Could it be that he is still alive?
?
Li Huqiu nodded and said: "He is dead now. He died on an isolated island two months ago. Master Dong, I mentioned him to you to tell you that I have seen the most powerful force in the world. You said
Even if the Heavenly Soldier Team is strong, it will not be stronger than Ye Xuhe, so please rest assured that I have the ability to protect myself. Besides, even if Mr. Chu is angry, Chu Lie is still alive and well, and there is no reason for him to be murderous towards me.
.”
Dong Zhaofeng said: "This is the truth, but everyone in the Tianbing Group is a killing machine. They are soldiers first and martial arts masters second. They will not hold back when they really do it. Back then, my senior brother Demon Hou Hu Tianbao and Crazy
The scholar Yin Huaiqing robbed the treasury, killed the police and caused trouble in the world. He traveled 80,000 miles from north to south and east to west to avoid pursuit. In the end, he was lost in the hands of the Tianbing Group. I might as well tell you that the founder of the Tianbing Group was Kong Wenlong, who defeated Ye Xuhe in the past. Although he has already
He lost his (harmony) status and became a monk, but the tradition of the Tianbing Group’s fierceness and fierceness has not been lost at all.”
Li Huqiu suddenly bowed and said: Thank you Master Dong. These secrets from the past have not met the conditions for decryption to this day. Dong Zhaofeng knows Li Huqiu's nature and will not give up easily. The old man does not expect to tell him this.
It can make him quit in spite of difficulties and return to Yanjing with him honestly. The purpose of revealing so many secrets is just to make him prepared and have enough psychological preparation to deal with the people who are coming.
****
After Li Huqiu and Dong Zhaofeng separated, they went straight to the seaside courtyard. As expected, the building was already empty.
That night, Li Huqiu followed Xie Muxiao here. He saw the strong man talking to Xie Muxiao, and heard the man talking about the chess game. At that time, the strong man was wearing a shabby suit, and there were only a few beams surrounding the room he lived in.
In the dilapidated huts that leaked air, the poorest place was especially the beggar. At that time, Li Huqiu guessed that the purpose of this person to sharpen his will in this extremely miserable lifestyle was to suppress some kind of latent desire in his heart. Later, he saw this the night before.
This person's kung fu is very similar to that of a boy's kung fu, which is more feminine and swift, which makes this judgment even clearer.
Boy Kung Fu, as the name suggests, although this person is already in his prime, he is a boy who has never released his true energy. Li Huqiu heard about this Kung Fu from Zhang Yongbao. It is said that the person who created this Kung Fu was in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A palace man named Tong Guan, who has been in charge of the Privy Council as a eunuch for twenty years, had previously served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Governors of Kyoto with his invincible Kung Fu. The word Tong Zi Kung is a pun, which both refers to a boy and also commemorates the boy.
The general meaning is that the way of practicing Tongzi Kung is extremely difficult. From the perspective of Li Huqiu, a heroic figure, those who practice Tongzi Kung are all mentally ill that ordinary people cannot understand. The higher the achievement, the more abnormal the nerves.
The truth in the world is that when the moon is full, it will rise and fall, and it will overflow when it is full, but people who practice Tongzi Kung Fu cannot overflow a little. The key to this kind of Kung Fu is to keep the word, guard the true energy from leaking, turn it into bone marrow, and the bone marrow will turn into brain marrow, and improve
Spiritual temperament. When fighting with others, the mind is clear and clear. Even if the attack is faster than lightning, it will not mess up the position, but it can easily disrupt the opponent's rhythm. The actual combat power of this kung fu is indeed extraordinary, but guarding the true energy is for any mature and
It is not an easy task for a man with normal abilities and normal psychology. As a warrior, your vitality is stronger, and it is naturally more difficult to maintain your true energy. In order to restrain the desires in your heart, people who practice Tongzi Kung Fu often have to move to another place in the middle of winter.
In the cold zone, the body is soaked in ice baths. In midsummer, one lives in a hot place and is showered with boiling water. On weekdays, one has to endure the hardships of poverty. Until it reaches the highest state, the body is like a golden clock face, like a child with no hood.
The moves are as fast as wind and lightning. But even if you reach the highest level, you cannot break the precepts. Let me ask you, how many people in the world are willing to practice Kung Fu that requires enduring such a harsh and painful process? How many people can stick to it wholeheartedly?
Mastering martial arts to perfection? This man's perseverance and will are unparalleled. Listening to what he said that night, it can be concluded that he is a person with a strong mind. When he thought that he had to find and catch such a person in a short time, Li Hu
Qiu couldn't help but feel a headache.
The only clues now are the two disciples of Moumen, Xie Muqiao and Lin Shaotang. Li Huqiu knew that the people in Moumen were gloomy and unpredictable, and it was not easy to find clues on these two people. Fortunately, before that night of the strong man
Since I have never met him, I naturally cannot tell Xie Muqiao that he met Li Huqiu when he killed Bai Chunsheng that night. The only thing Li Huqiu can hold on to now is that the enemy is hidden and we are not clear. The premise is that the person in the family is not targeting him.
Come.
****
In front of the Yongcheng Railway Station, Xie Hongjun, the famous eight-armed Buddha on the former thieves' road, was coming out of the gate. From a distance, he saw Li Huqiu standing at the foot of the steps of the square. A bright smile appeared on his wrinkled cheeks.
Stepping down the steps, Li Huqiu came forward. The hands of the two generations of thieves, old and young, were tightly held together. Li Huqiu said with a smile: "If you don't give me back the watch, I'll take off your underwear." Thank you.
The Red Army laughed and said, "Don't laugh at the tricks of the trade. I just want to tell you that we still have skills and are not just freeloaders!" He then said proudly: "If you confess, you will be given a lenient sentence and go to jail, if you resist, you will be punished and go home to celebrate the New Year.
Old man, I haven't spoken for three years. These idiots have never been able to get the evidence and they can't do anything to me. With the help of experts, Dadingzi has reduced his sentence three times and still has to be released from prison next year. Now we can live in the world again.
Jumping around wildly."
The old world will become a thing of the past. How will these old people get along with themselves? Old thieves like Xie Hongjun, apart from their ability to steal and steal, have no other survival skills at all. Nor are the habits they have developed over decades.
Things can change overnight. When Old Crab Claw was released from prison and came to see Li Huqiu, he was planning to make a big deal and then retire. But he didn’t know that Li Huqiu didn’t want him to return to the thieves’ ways. When asked about Li Huqiu
When asked what Huqiu does to make a fortune now, Li Huqiu smiled slightly and said he would go home with me first. Along the way, the two of them recalled their past experiences and talked about the bet they made on the train. Thinking of the fat thief-proof expert, they couldn't bear it.
While I was sad, I couldn't help but find it funny.
Walking into the mansion in Qingtian Town, Xie Hongjun suddenly felt embarrassed when he saw the luxurious interior decoration and the exquisite and cute dolls. Obviously, Li Huqiu's current situation was far beyond his expectation. Li Huqiu said with a smile: "There are
There are more than a dozen guest rooms, you can choose to live in any one. As for what I do now, I really won’t be able to explain it to you for a while. Anyway, you will know it if you live here for a long time. She is Nina and she is the little chef here.
Mom, there is a boy named Shang Nan. He has gone out to do errands and hasn’t come back yet. I may be very busy these days and won’t be able to take care of you anymore. I will find someone to help you register your residence here later. This will be your home from now on.
.”
When Xie Hongjun heard this, his heart suddenly became hot and his eye circles turned red. He was moved but did not dare to hope that this was true. He was about to decline when he heard Li Huqiu continue: "I remember that you don't like others to call you senior, then
We will call you brother from now on. If you are bored, you can go out for a walk. The scenery around here is good. There are scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River a little further away. It will definitely not be too boring. There is a card here that will get a certain amount of money every month.
Come in, as for how much you need, it all depends on what you need." Sincerely: "Brother, times have changed, and the world is not easy to navigate. I hope you can have a stable destination in your later years."
After hearing this, Xie Hongjun couldn't help but feel confused, and he had mixed feelings for a moment. Bewilderment, loss, surprise, gratitude, and other emotions were intertwined in his heart. He looked at Li Huqiu in a daze, and he never thought of Li Huqiu in any case.
Huqiu would do so much for him. I recall that they were just friends who met occasionally on the rivers and lakes. Although they had the experience of sharing weal and woe, it was short-lived after all. His original idea was to go to Li Huqiu to make a big deal and make a fortune.
He would retire after having enough money for his retirement. He never expected that Li Huqiu would sincerely care for him. Xie Hongjun’s lips pursed, and it was difficult to speak. Li Huqiu walked over and patted him twice on the shoulder.
He continued: "There is no need to say anything. From now on, we are one family and don't talk about two families. People will grow old one day, and a third-hand job can't last a lifetime. You can live well and watch me fight for the reputation of us Jianghu people and do something.
Things that even the big guys in the temple can’t do.”
It was almost noon, Shang Nan just returned from work, and Li Huqiu introduced them to each other. Nina had already prepared a table of wine and dinner. Li Huqiu invited Xie Hongjun to the table, and asked Shang Nan at the dinner table: "Is the matter done?
how?"
Shang Nan handed a pile of information to Li Huqiu and said, "Here, this is all the information on Kaisa Fund that we can get at the moment."
Li Huqiu took it and put it aside. Shang Nan asked, don't you want to take a look? Li Huqiu stood up and said to Xie Hongjun: "Brother, you eat first, Shang Nan and I will go next door to discuss something."
The next room.
Li Huqiu said to Shang Nan rudely: "What the hell, how can there be anything we need in a formal article that can be read by everyone? If I want to know what Moumen wants to do, what I need is core information. We are the most important now."
What you need to know is why the people in the Moumen want to kill Bai Chunsheng? They came back to China to engage in capital operations and finance. Fake accounts are their specialty. There are definitely a lot of secrets that they don't want others to see, and they must be kept.
Somewhere, the purpose of asking you to get information is to find out who else is in their core layer besides the two Moumen disciples we know. It’s enough to find out these things.”
"It's my fault that you didn't explain it clearly. Fortunately, I was prepared." Shang Nan knew that Li Huqiu had been annoyed recently because of Chu Lie's injury, so he didn't mind what he said. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're not an old man."
Do you want me to use a beauty trap? Do you know who I have a date with tonight?"
It's rare for an honest kid to make a joke. Li Huqiu finally showed a smile and scolded: "If you fart, hurry up!"
Shang Nan said excitedly: "I went to the office building where Kaisa Fund is located today. As you said, I waited until Xie Muxiao left before I went in and told the receptionist that I wanted to see the chairman. She asked me what I did and what I wanted to do with the chairman. I followed
The plan was to tell her that I was from the foreign-related economic investigation department. Of course she said that Xie Muxiao was not here, and asked me to make an appointment first and leave my contact information. I then suggested that it would be fine if the chairman was not the general manager or deputy general manager, as long as he came out.
As long as someone keeps his word, she will find the assistant to the chairman."
Li Huqiu smiled a little evilly: "Well, you did a good job. I guess that assistant is a beautiful woman. Brother Xiao Nan won the opportunity to have dinner with the beauty with a little trick, right?"
Shang Nan frowned and said, "Except for not being very beautiful, everything else is perfect."
****
There is a French restaurant called Sebastian on Yongning West Road. At six o'clock in the evening, Li Huqiu was sitting near the window and saw Shang Nan and a woman who was 1.7 meters tall and had a waist close to this figure getting out of the car.
Entering the restaurant, I saw Xiao Nan wearing a Gucci jacket, American jeans, Italian genuine leather low-waisted leather shoes, and a pair of long and straight legs. He looked extremely handsome and unrestrained. The woman beside him was wearing a Bloody Mary.
Wearing a cardigan evening dress, two huge lumps on her chest that look like thousands of rolled up snow, she wears black widow Moore high-heeled shoes that are sharp and shiny, and she has Sissi-style explosive shawl curly hair. Looking at her face, she sees this woman:
The head is like a wheat bucket, the eyes are like copper bells, the mouth of a catfish, the nose of a lion, and the face is like the setting sun. They are all similar in size and color. When they walked in, they were walking like a dragon and a tiger with extraordinary momentum. After looking at it for a long time, Li Huqiu couldn't help but secretly sigh that people's hearts are not at ease.
In ancient times, even an honest child like Brother Xiao Nan has learned to brag. Isn't she very beautiful? Damn, calling her ugly is just a compliment.
Shang Nan's expression naturally led the woman to sit down not far from Li Huqiu. The waiter came over with a plate and menu, and Shang Nan asked politely with a smile: "Miss Sun, what would you like to eat?"
The woman stretched out her big hand like a cattail fan and took the menu without looking at the waiter. Her eyes always stayed on Shang Nan's face. She squeezed out a sweet smile and said coyly: "How can I order it? What you brought me here is still You've ordered." Shang Nan said honestly: "I don't know any of the characters on this, so how can I know what's appropriate to eat? Are you an assistant who has drank foreign ink? Or you have made up your mind, no matter what you order. I will be responsible for eating and paying the bill."
Li Huqiu has been paying attention to the situation over there. He nodded secretly when he heard this. Shang Nan has the potential to inherit the mantle of Shenyang. Shenyang once said that if you want to tell a big lie, you must tell it before you tell it. Countless words of truth, otherwise even the faint-hearted would ponder over such things as pie in the sky.
Miss Sun was indeed a drinker of foreign ink. After pointing at the menu no less than ten times with her jabbering mouth and fingers like small drum sticks, the waiter took a breath and said, please wait a moment, and left in a hurry. .The expression was shocked and mixed with disdain.
Not long after, the dishes came. There are many things to pay attention to when eating French food. The order of serving dishes is very important. There are hot and cold appetizers, soups and main courses and desserts. There are thirteen dishes in total. Eating dishes requires etiquette, even to the neck. Each piece of cloth has prescribed actions that are consistent with noble status. Miss Sun completed the prescribed actions meticulously, while Brother Xiao Nan had already eaten the beef sirloin in front of him as a frozen appetizer. He smiled slightly and said in confusion: "This dish Are they served in portions? It seems like they are being served piece by piece." Miss Sun was stunned for a moment, then grinned. She quickly realized that such a smile was both rude to the handsome guy and not good-looking, so she quickly stopped her smile and pursed her lips. : "There are thirteen dishes in total. This is the first cold appetizer. Investigator Chang, you are so funny." As he said that, he picked up the knife and fork and cut into the medium-rare frozen beef, mixing the blood with the soup. The beef was put into his big mouth. He gave Shang Nan a wink and said in a pretentious manner: "This is the right way to eat it."
Even though Shang Nan has mastered martial arts and can freely control the flow of energy, blood and adrenaline secretion in his body, he is already on the verge of collapse. Can't this bitch talk without showing those two rows of blood-stained teeth?
Li Huqiu thought to himself that he must give Brother Xiaonan a raise, otherwise he would be very sorry for Brother Xiaonan's efforts.
The hot and cold soup master had almost eaten the thirteen dishes he ordered, and also drank two bottles of Tears of Christ worth more than 3,000 yuan a bottle. Everyone will get drunk if they are not drunk. The female assistant named Sun Zitong was already eight points drunk at this moment. Drunk, he ignored the piece of foie gras with sauce hanging from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Shang Nan with blurred eyes and said: "None of you so-called public servants are good. They are either greedy for money or lustful. What's more, you want both." , look at you, not only are you always staring in front of others, but you are also constantly trying to get them to drink, which makes you feel uneasy." Brother Xiao Nan suppressed his disgust and said with a smile: "Where are you talking about, Miss Sun? By the way, you became the assistant to the chairman of Kaisa Fund when you were just in your prime. What man doesn’t admire you deeply and doesn’t want to have more interactions with you.”
Li Huqiu thought to himself, this sentence is even better. This girl is not really stupid, and she is not completely drunk. If Brother Xiaonan praises her beauty now, he will be slapped in the face. At this time, he can neither tell the truth nor lie.
She needs to be able to tell what she thinks is the truth in a polite way. It can be seen that this guy is pretending to be honest on weekdays. He knows it in his heart.
Sun Zitong pursed his lips and smiled, put down his glass, and said, "You can't drink any more, or you will take advantage of me. Investigator Chang, the full name of your department is ****."
"Foreign Economic Case Investigation Section."
"Oh, by the way, the Foreign Economic Investigation Section." Sun Zitong held the four-layer hamburger on his chin with both hands, looked at Shang Nan with cute eyes, and asked: "Does your unit still teach people Kung Fu?" Shang Nan was stunned.
, his expression remained unchanged and said: "Although we are engaged in economic crime investigation, we should learn a little bit just in case." Sun Zitong pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, that is really a good unit, a little bit of knowledge can cultivate
