Xiang Nan wielded the Eight-Zhan Sword and kept parrying without making a single slash. It seemed that he was at a disadvantage.
This made Shi Tiezhu anxious.
But Jinshan Zhao saw something.
The Bagua Dao is four feet and two feet long and weighs about eight kilograms, which is heavier than an ordinary waist knife.
Although he has a fat beard and a strong body, it is quite laborious to wield such a big knife.
This can be seen from the constant sweat on his forehead.
In comparison, Xiang Nan's Eight-Zhan Sword only weighs about two kilograms, and it is effortless to dance. Therefore, it is light and flexible, capable of both offense and defense.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Nan can wait for work and consume Hu Yong's physical strength.
Nowadays, as Hu Yong's physical strength is exhausted, the speed, strength and accuracy of his sword swing have declined. Moreover, the pace is getting slower and slower than before, and it has become a success or failure.
At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly put his two swords together to hold Hu Yong's Bagua Dao.
Then with a cry of strength, the Bagua knife fell out of his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Just as Huzi Yong was about to dodge, Xiang Nan's two eight-cut knives were already placed on his neck.
"Master Miao, how are you?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Master Ye, you've done a great job, I'm convinced. Let all the past things be wiped out, and I won't do anything against you again." Hu Xiuyong said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan took back the knife and said, "Okay, Master Miao is really happy. In that case, I offended you today. I will treat you to a drink another day."
"No, it's me who should invite you." Hu Xiyong said quickly.
Xiang Nan smiled and immediately led the people away.
"Master Ye, I hope you won't tell outsiders about our competition." Hu Xiuyong caught up again and said.
"Don't worry, Ye is not a talkative person." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After they left, Hu Yong's younger brother came up and asked, "Boss, you just let them go, why don't you keep them?"
They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to keep Xiang Nan today, so they made two preparations. One is Beard Yong, and the other is Musket. If two muskets hit him, he would definitely die.
"Do you think you can keep it if you don't? If you can't, our brothers will be doomed today." Hu Xiuyong waved his hand, "It's not wise to offend such a person for the one hundred yuan that Niu Baigeng gave him. .
Besides, we are doing business with the door open, not thieves who can be killed or buried. If someone is really going to die, do you think we can run away? "
He harvested a hundred cattle and plowed a hundred oceans before he decided to go against Xiang Nan. Now that I have a fight with him, even though I have never fought before, I can still be considered worthy of Niu Baigeng. After all, a hundred dollars is not enough to make him risk his life.
"Then let's forget it?" The younger brother asked again unconvinced.
"Hong Kong Hu, remember, if people give us face, we have to give others face." Huzi Yong waved his hands, "This man's kung fu is amazing and his moves are measured. He is a friend worth making."
The younger brother nodded after hearing this.
…
"Brother Wen, if you spare Husband Yong like this, I thought you were going to kill him." Jinshan Xianye asked Xiang Nandao.
"Killing people is not the goal, but establishing a firm foothold in Macau is the goal." Xiang Nan explained, "It is easy to kill Beard Yong, but it is easy for other forces to be wary of us, which is not good for us. Establish a foothold in Macau.”
To gain a foothold in a new place, in addition to establishing authority, you should also be gentle in order to be accepted. Otherwise, insisting on being tough and killing will arouse the hatred of the local forces.
When the time comes, no matter how good Xiang Nan is in fighting and no matter how rich he is, his footing will be unstable and he will be driven out and squeezed out.
Jinshan listened and nodded, "Brother Qian, you are still smart!"
When he was in Fashan, he was just tough and didn't know how to be gentle. As a result, he was disliked by all the people in Fashan.
…
After Hu Yong was dealt with, the restaurant resumed serving meals, the waterman resumed delivering water, and the building materials store also re-delivered bricks, mortar, and wood.
Everything is back to normal.
After that, Zhou Qingquan asked the boss he had dealt with before to help, and invited several well-known local people in Macau to act as peacemakers and serve wine to Xiang Nan and Niu Baigeng.
"Brother Niu, Mr. Ye, there was a misunderstanding before. For our sakes, let's make amends and apologize to each other. Let this matter be over, okay?" said Boss Wang, who runs a firecracker factory.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is actually not an outsider, he comes from the Ye family of Fashan." Boss Liu, who runs the Buddhist incense factory, also said, "Brother Niu, you should have heard of the name of the Ye family of Fashan. "
Niu Baigeng couldn't help but change his face slightly after hearing this.
Faoshan is only more than two hundred miles away from Macau. It is neither close nor far. As a famous family, the Ye family in Fashan naturally has a reputation far and wide.
Niu Baigeng didn't expect Xiang Nan to have such a high status, and thought he was just an ordinary foreigner. How could I have imagined that he was actually from the Ye family of Faoshan. If he had known earlier, he would not have offended him.
"What do you think, Brother Niu, let's have a drink with Mr. Ye and let's forget about the past." Boss Zeng, who opened the firewood factory, also advised.
"Okay, forgive me for being blind." Niu Baigeng raised his glass and said, "Mr. Ye, I toast you, forget about the past."
The Niu family members had never fought against Xiang Nan before, so he asked Kung Fu master and local snake Huzi Yong to come forward, but Huzi Yong couldn't do anything to Xiang Nan.
If the fight continued, he didn't know how much it would cost, let alone whether it would be effective. In this case, it is better to reconcile.
Otherwise, Xiang Nan's life would be in danger just based on Xiang Nan's kung fu. When the time comes, if he really dies, his lovely wife, concubines, and wealth will all belong to someone else.
"Mr. Niu, I also have something wrong." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This money will give the villagers a shock." As he said that, he pushed a bag of silver.
Niu Baigeng took a quick look and knew that there was almost five hundred oceans in it. It can be regarded as making up for his losses.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, I'm happy. In that case, I'll accept it." He nodded.
Xiang Nan also raised his glass and touched one with him, which was considered to have revealed the matter.
…
The next period of time was basically uneventful.
Xiang Nan showed off his strength as well as his soft figure. Other forces, unless they have a blood feud, will naturally not dare to provoke such a strong man who can defeat an entire clan by one person.
This also allowed Xiang Nan to successfully establish a foothold in Macau.
In the following time, he mainly focused on the construction of the basement.
Through the unremitting efforts of the workers, large pits up to four meters deep were dug in all eight rooms on the first floor, and more than 900 square meters of soil were excavated.
Afterwards, holes were dug, bricks were laid, walls were ground, beams were raised, and ladders were erected, so that the eight underground storage rooms in the villa were not only interconnected, but also very strong and unlikely to collapse.
Then turn on the electric lights and prepare candles so that the basement can be brightly lit.
Finally, the floor was re-paved, the entrances and exits were left, and the entire villa was the same as before.
The huge basement has a total area of more than 200 square meters and can store 900,000 liters of rice, which is approximately 675 tons.
Calculated based on one kilogram of rice per person per day, 675 tons is enough to feed one person for 1,800 years. So it's enough.
Of course, Xiang Nan doesn't just store rice. Oil, sugar, bacon, canned food, honey, tea, dry goods, medicinal materials, as well as firewood, coal, candles, kerosene, etc. also need to be stored.
In short, it is necessary to prepare more for the future famine.
