Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the trend of wealthy families supporting their retainers has been prevalent, but it later became somewhat restrained. However, after the founding of the country for more than 200 years, this trend gradually increased again.
It is true that due to land annexation and resource shortages, many people with lofty ideals have to seek refuge with powerful people in order to achieve rapid development.
For example, Master Zhou's lifelong dream is to own a martial arts gym of his own in the Holy City and establish a sect to live up to his martial arts skills.
Wu'an Marquis Li Xin helped him realize the former dream, but the latter dream still requires the joint efforts of several generations of the Zhou family.
Zhou Hu's status this time is even more liberal than that of Xue An, because he is not a son of a servant, nor is he a servant who sold himself to the marquis's house to protect the courtyard like Xue An, but a retainer.
In fact, Li Fan and Zhou Hu had known each other for a long time. After all, Master Zhou had lived in the Hou Mansion for many years, and his family also stayed here when they didn't have their own house in the early years.
It's just that as time goes by, this relationship in childhood will eventually become insurmountable due to the huge class gap.
At this time, even if Li Fan wanted to show intimacy and friendliness to him, it would only cause trouble for Zhou Hu.
Therefore, in front of the chief steward Li Fuchang, he did not reminisce about the past, but only asked about the specific circumstances of his becoming a stranger.
What was somewhat beyond his expectation was that Master Zhou took the initiative to request it.
"Nowadays, weird things are on the rise and strangers are rampant. My father accidentally learned about strangers, so he always cared about it and wanted to try the martial arts of strangers.
I am the youngest son in the family, and I have no burden to pass on the family business, so I simply ventured on this road to see if I could learn the art of super martial arts.
With the grace of the Marquis, I was given a dark gold demonic body and black tiger blood, allowing me to have the same foundation as Xue Weibei, coupled with my martial arts skills, I have really improved recently.
In fact, the Marquis also promised that if there is an opportunity in the future, he will find one or two rare treasures for me that can perform magic and various strange abilities, but I refused. "
Hearing this, Li Fan suddenly became interested: "Are you trying to combine spear skills with extraordinary physical strength?"
"Yes, so for a martial artist like me, those magic-like methods will be a hindrance to martial arts. Maybe they are not as useful as an exotic weapon."
"If there is a chance, I will help you get a good gun!"
Li Ao made a promise.
"Then I'll thank you little Marquis first."
"Are you free now? Let's discuss and discuss."
Li Fan suddenly suggested.
"Huh?" Zhou Hu was a little surprised, "Not long after I became a stranger, I was warned that my strange power should not be used easily..."
"You misunderstood. What I meant was that you don't need any cunning methods, just rely on your physical strength and the conventional methods you can use."
"That's no problem, it's just..."
His eyes fell on Li Fan's right hand, which was covered with a thick bandage due to the Yang wooden nails.
"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that in the past six months, I've changed from what I used to be!"
Li Fan laughed, and after speaking, regardless of Zhou Hu's confusion, he pulled him to the Dongyuan school grounds, held the gun with Shang's still intact left hand, and began to spar with him.
At this time, Zhou Hu was shocked to realize that what Li Fan said was true.
Without using weird magic or activating his extraordinary body, Li Fan was able to perform like a tiger with a big gun. It was obviously a family-owned marksmanship that he was very familiar with, but he couldn't find any flaws.
He even had a vague feeling that Li Fan's marksmanship had surpassed that of his father.
"This, this is incredible!"
"There is nothing incredible, this is the power brought by weirdness."
"What? Can you really do this?"
Zhou Hu couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the truth. At the same time, he immediately realized that for some things that he wanted to explore but couldn't get, others already had the answers.
This is the power of the Hou Mansion's heritage.
However, Zhou Hu still didn't know that this was the extraordinary instinct brought about by Li Fan's use of special methods to perfectly control Xiao Qingyi's right arm. Ordinary people would never be able to achieve this level.
Perhaps there is still a chance to improve basic qualities such as strength, speed, and reaction ability by relying on strange power, but it is very difficult and dangerous to do the same in terms of mental and technical skills.
"Extraordinary martial arts is real."
Li Fang combined his own experience to point out the way forward for Zhou Hu.
But at the same time, he also said it bluntly.
"But it requires you to make incomparable hardships and efforts to reach it, and if you give up some easy and quick control opportunities for it, you may fall far behind other strangers."
Since ancient times, the number of people who use guns is unknown. Among strangers, all kinds of strange abilities emerge one after another. Even if you really get a useful and powerful weapon, what will happen?
However, in view of Zhou Hu's background, there were originally few opportunities. What he wanted to compare with was not those powerful people in the world, but just ordinary alien masters.
Being able to reach the state of extraordinary skills when using his mother's arm, without involving other lantern fire, tiger arm, or even Mrs. Xiao's left hand, is already the limit.
Therefore, this path is feasible.
Only then did Zhou Hu suddenly realize that the young marquis was just trying to learn from each other, but he was actually trying to improve himself.
I couldn't help but feel very grateful, and said sincerely: "I will think about it carefully."
The next day, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Fan got up early in the morning to do morning exercises. After finishing, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he took Xue An and ran out.
"I made an appointment with the Cat Immortal to visit the temple fair. I don't know if she will agree to it, but in any case, I'll find out when I go to the house in Pingkangfang."
"Little Marquis, logically speaking, young people should not talk too much, but this human cat has a different path after all..."
Xue An looked at Li Fan very worriedly, looking like he was hesitating to speak and was in a dilemma.
Li Fan was slightly stunned. After understanding what he meant, he couldn't help but said angrily and amusedly: "What are you talking about!
I asked her to go shopping because I wanted to talk about the Demon Sect's jade trade as a "Jade Girl". Recently, that guy has been eyeing me. Although I am not afraid of assassination, I have always been a thief for a thousand days. There is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. ? Just ask the Cat Immortal if there is any way. It would be best to find out where the 'Jade Girl' has settled, and catch them all! "
"Young Master, do you want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
It was Xue An's duty to protect the Marquis Mansion. Because he had learned the news, he had been tense and distressed these past few days. After learning about Li Chuan's method, he sincerely praised: "That's not bad at all."
He did not pretend to say that the young marquis's body was not suitable for taking risks, because Li Ao soared on the road of strangers, and he had already been far behind.
While they were talking, Yang's mansion outside the palace without a plaque had arrived. Please download the app Aiyue app for the latest content
Li Fan and Xue An saw at a glance that Mr. Lu was waiting next to a luxurious carriage that they had seen before.
