What you need to deal with a lion is strength and wisdom, but if you want to deal with a mangy dog, of course you have to use a different method.
In the arena between Qiao Shifang and Lu Hanjiang, there was actually an overwhelming power imbalance from the very beginning, and the two sides' backgrounds were not at the same level at all.
What's even more embarrassing is that the two of them are in the same system. Yan Feng is right when he says that in the realm of Jin Yiwei, the title of prince is really not useful. After all, their leader is now Meng Yuan.
Therefore, under such a premise, the only person Qiao Shifang could rely on was the Zhenfu envoy, and the person standing behind Lu Hanjiang was the commander.
You can't play with words, but the opponent looks tougher than his fists, and let's talk about face... There is no comparison between these half-measures. As a result, Qiao Shifang will feel very uncomfortable.
An opponent who has a bad mouth, is stronger than you, and is more shameless than you is quite terrifying.
"Don't say that my brother won't help you, come on, come on, get this elixir." Lu Hanjiang took out a small bottle and gestured to hand it over.
The corner of Qiao Shifang's mouth twitched: "I dare to ask Brother Lu, what is this?"
"The Shuxi Pill, I specially asked for it from the commander when it comes. I think my dear brother will be able to use it."
Shuanxi Pill, as its name suggests, will act like a dead person within two hours after taking it. It can be said to be a good medicine for pretending to be dead in a fight. After Lu Hanjiang finished speaking, he threw the bottle away, but was urged by Qiao Shifang from the distance. Using the force of his palm, he returned it again.
"Brother Lu, you're kidding me. After all, my younger brother is in a position of 1,000 households. I'm afraid I won't need this thing anymore."
In the eyes of others, it was not surprising that these two people immediately started fighting each other, but fortunately, it was not the first day that Qiao Shifang had been involved in official circles, and his change of attitude was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
"Brother Lu, we are all brothers. Let's not talk about that. Come on, let me help you. Let's take a tour around Cui Pavilion. I will cover all Brother Lu's expenses today."
This is really true. Qiao Shifang always speaks in such a naive manner. This person has played the role of a bureaucrat perfectly. It can be said that these little tricks are easy to come by.
In fact, it's hard to say that Qiao Shifang did anything wrong. After all, the essence of this romantic place and the Huanghuang Temple are the same. Everyone knows what the other person is doing, so naturally there is no need to explain too much.
To say they are hypocritical is mainly because they are hypocritical when dealing with outsiders. After all, it is always good to have some skin.
"No need."
Regarding Qiao Shifang's invitation, Lu Hanjiang always considered rejecting it first. After all, the two of them really had nothing to talk about.
"Jiangnan is now full of demons, but my dear brother is still able to find the land of wind and moon. He is very capable." He said.
"What's so difficult about this? The old man often said that the brave will be beaten to death and the timid will be starved to death. No matter if he is a righteous or evil person, if he can afford the price, someone will do business." It is not difficult to hear something in Qiao Shifang's tone. Disdain, the pattern of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it was natural for him to look down on merchants.
However, this is not a rough statement. Jiangnan is now in chaos, but there is no economic depression at all. Thanks to these businessmen who are willing to take risks.
When it comes to doing business, the most important thing is two words, wink. Without this thing, no matter how much money you make, no matter how good the goods are, it won't work.
Most of these demonic people are unruly and disdain to follow the laws of the Lao Shizi court. However, as long as they are human beings, they will always have emotions and desires. They have long been accustomed to bullying the weak, so as long as they act honestly and pretend to be the "weak" His identity is quite acceptable to them.
"Waiter, serve the wine! Bring out your best ones. If you dare to fool the brothers with the ones mixed with water, be careful!"
In an inn that can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, a group of three people, carrying knives and swords, sat down on their seats and started yelling at the innkeeper.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment."
The waiter didn't care what they said, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face. Little people have their own way of survival. Don't look at the arrogance of these devilish madmen, but if you make them feel comfortable, you can get the most rewards. , is also not small.
Not long after, the waiter brought a pot of wine, several bowls, filled them one by one, and finally served a few small plates.
The leading swordsman drank a full gulp, tsked twice, and raised his eyebrows: "Well, there is still some flavor."
"Your Majesty, you have good taste," the waiter praised, nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, this is a thirty-year-old daughter's red. If ordinary people come here, we shopkeepers are reluctant to take it out."
"Yeah, not bad." After another sullen mouth, the man squinted his eyes and showed a bit of enjoyment. As for whether this daughter's red is really thirty years old, he couldn't tell, but it's not a big problem. He drank it. It is the enjoyment of being flattered by others in this position.
He casually took out the money from his waist, and the man didn't even look at it. He just threw it to the waiter and said, "Go away. I'll call you if something happens."
"Thank you, sir. Please take your time, sir." The waiter took the money and secretly weighed the weight in his hand. It seemed that the guest this time was quite generous. He narrowed his eyes and said happily. Withdrew.
There are shops like them doing magic business all over the south of the Yangtze River. After all, money does not distinguish between good and evil. Some magicians will give money, some will not, some will be short of a pound, and some will even pay a pound. More, purely depends on mood.
The man didn't care how much money he threw out with one hand. They were robbing families and homes outside the Great Wall. When they came to Jiangnan, they were unfamiliar with the place and restrained themselves a little, but the habit of being lavish with money remained the same. It wasn't their own money anyway.
"Brother, you said this Huangfu family is like a tortoise. Why should we be afraid of him? Those soft-footed shrimps will run faster than the other when they see blood." The one-eyed man said, there was no sense of fairness in his words. The awe of the big family was filled with contempt.
These days, the evil ways are rampant and the righteous ones are short of manpower. They have all tightened their power along with the Huangfu family. Now they have retreated to the Huangfu family manor outside the city. Like a tortoise shell, the evil ways did not even bother to chew it, so they simply joined them. Consume.
The Huangfu family moved their position outside the city. This was the reason why the city was able to maintain peace. The Jin Yiwei must have contributed a lot during this. After all, the court's face always had to be taken into consideration.
"Brother, I don't think the Huangfu family has much ability, so why are they so flattered by the righteous flatterers?" asked another man as strong as a camel.
"You guys know nothing." The leading man took a gulp of wine, wiped his mouth, and said: "The Huangfu family has been able to stand in this world for so many years, how can it be based on others? Someone with real ability.”
"Speaking of that ability, a few days ago, the little lady from the Huangfu family -" As he said that, the one-eyed man couldn't help but tremble. He said: "Good guy, those axes killed so many of us. .”
"The third young lady of the Huangfu family killed thousands of swordsmen and made rivers of blood flow. How could she have gained a reputation in vain?" The leader shook his head and said: "Although her kung fu skills are fierce, she is not really powerful. There are many ways to defeat her."
"Brother, if it is what you say, then the Huangfu family is useless?" the strong man asked in confusion.
"You are stupid. Although Huangfu Xiaoyuan is a direct descendant of the Huangfu family, she is still a woman and will get married sooner or later. How dare the Huangfu family teach her true secrets to her."
The leading man drank a few more sips of wine, and said despite being slightly drunk: "The reason why I dare not take action with all my strength is naturally because I have not found out the details of Huangfu Yushu. Who knows how far he has practiced the Three Swords of Heaven's Law. It’s one level.”
