"Are you always happy when you are content?" Salba murmured to himself, and after a while his face suddenly showed a look of relief: "Yes! Why have I been fighting for fame, profit, and position all my life? In the end, it is nothing."
"Although everyone understands the truth, how easy is it to actually do it?" Tong Bo sighed secretly: "Chasing fame and convenience is like drinking salt water. The more you drink, the thirstier you become, and the thirstier you are, the more you drink."
"Junchen, I'm afraid there will be great changes in the pavilion these days." Salba felt that his life was slowly peeling off his body, but at this moment, he had a calmness that he had never experienced in his life: "Take care."
"Big change?" Tong Bo was shocked, thinking of the doubts in his heart and asked: "Why are the people who came with uncle earlier missing?"
"Those people?" Salba slowly closed his eyes: "On that night, they all left before me."
"It was also that night that Fengyi Hall's secret work lurking in the pavilion master was completely lost." Tong Bo thought to himself: "Sure enough, they are not easy people, and their movements are faster than I thought."
"Prince, Uncle Sha has gone." Liu Ningshi called softly: "Should we take his body..."
"No need!" Before Liu Ningshi finished speaking, Tong Bo shook his hand and whispered: "Girl, you can ask Mu Hanlei to handle this matter. Go to her on the first floor and check it out on the way..."
"Understood." Liu Ningshi nodded and walked out of the room; Tong Bo looked at the two maids in undershirts who were still sleeping, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "As the saying goes, you can fish in troubled waters, so you should go back to Guanlan Hall to repair it first. moment."
"Brother Xiaoliu, are you here? Brother Xiaoliu?" In the back hall of Ziyan Bank, Qian Shaojun barged in without even knocking on the door. His rude appearance was very different from usual.
"What's wrong with the young shopkeeper? Are you in such a panic?" Xiao Liu, who was meditating to heal his injuries, was startled by the sudden shout and immediately opened his eyes.
"Steward Lu from the pavilion is here again." Qian Shaojun looked helpless: "Brother Xiaoliu, you must help me."
"Come here. It's not the first time that the steward in the pavilion has come. There's nothing to make a fuss about." Xiao Liu closed his eyes again and started to perform the exercises like an old monk entering trance.
"Brother Xiaoliu, you can't just die without saving him." Seeing Xiaoliu's indifference, Qian Shaojun continued to plead: "Master Liu once told me that if I have anything to do with brother Xiaoliu, I can turn the danger into good."
"Mr. Liu, Sister Ningshi? How is that possible? Sister Ningshi never said anything to me?" Xiaoliu thought about this, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
"Isn't Guard Tong going to Ziyan Pavilion?" Before Tong Bo went to Ziyan Pavilion, he walked uninvited into the room where Xiaoliu was resting.
"Before leaving, I don't know why I always want to talk to my little brother." Tong Bo was not polite and knelt down opposite Xiaoliu.
"Sister Ningshi said that Tong Guard never goes to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble!" Xiaoliu imitated Liu Ningshi's tone of voice so vividly: "If the corner of his mouth moves slightly, he must be thinking about how to plot against others. "
"Little brother, don't listen to Miss Liu. I have no interest in scheming." Tong Bo said lightly on the surface, but secretly complained in his heart: "This little girl actually arranged for me like this."
"But Xiao Liu has already learned Tong Guard's plan before." Xiao Liu subconsciously touched his injured arm: "If Guard Tong hadn't stopped him, how could the stupid waiter have seen that the money bag had been taken away? Walk."
"Brother Xiaoliu, I need to correct you." Tong Bo neither laughed nor got angry. He said calmly: "That Xiaoer is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is a ruthless character. Don't underestimate yourself at any time. opponent, otherwise you will suffer a loss."
"Is Tong Guard coming here just to preach?" Xiaoliu was extremely unhappy when he saw that Tong Bo was preaching to him despite being not much older than him: "In our plain barbarian army, we have always used force to subdue others. No need for unnecessary preaching.”
"Brother Xiaoliu is right! Instead of talking about it, it's better to practice it." Tong Bo took out a green will-o'-the-wisp stone from his waist and placed it on the table between the two of them. He said with a smile: "I know Brother Xiaoliu's skill. It's as fast as lightning, I believe it shouldn't be difficult to pocket this will-o'-the-wisp stone, right?"
"It turns out Tong Weibei wants to take the Primary Six exam." Xiao Liu looked at the dark green will-o'-the-wisp stone on the table and asked, "What if I can get it? What if I can't get it?"
"If Brother Xiaoliu can get this will-o'-the-wisp stone, then I'll let you handle it." Tong Bo said with a smile: "If I get it by luck, then Brother Xiaoliu only needs to do one thing for me."
"This person knows how powerful the skill of the Miao Hand is, yet he still poses such a big challenge." Xiaoliu quickly calculated in his mind: "Besides, he has lost all his internal strength, so he can't be faster than me no matter what."
"Why, are the people in the Pingman Army also afraid?" Tong Bo secretly appreciated it when he saw Xiaoliu lowering his head and thinking deeply, but not immediately agreeing to himself.
"Wei Tong doesn't need to use this kind of provocation. Xiao Liu never does this." Xiao Liu shouted suddenly, but then changed the topic: "But, I agreed."
"You have already seen that I am using the provoking method, but you still agreed." Tong Bo nodded and pointed at the will-o'-the-wisp stone: "You can count three times, and then you can take action."
"You actually asked me to count?" Xiao Liu looked at Tong Bo, whose eyes were light and cloudy, and his desire for a happy life rose leisurely, and he said boldly: "Guard Tong, let Xiao Liu see what you are capable of?"
"One, two, three." As the word 'three' came out, Xiao Liu's right palm swept towards the will-o'-the-wisp stone at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
"Did you succeed? It's too easy." Xiao Liu felt that the stone was already in his palm. He spread it out and saw that it was just an ordinary locust stone.
In an instant, Tong Bo shot a locust stone and knocked the will-o'-the-wisp stone away. It hit the wall opposite Xiao Liu and bounced back.
Xiaoliu's reaction was also extremely quick. He touched the ground with both feet and turned his whole body upward to grab the will-o'-the-wisp stone.
"Dang!" Just when Xiao Liu's right palm was half an inch away from the will-o'-the-wisp stone, Tong Bo raised his right palm, and another locust stone shot out, knocking the will-o'-wit stone away.
Xiao Liu grabbed the air with one palm, but had no choice but to follow the path of the will-o'-the-wisp stone like a shadow. Although Tong Bo made moves like the wind, he could not get the will-o'-the-wisp stone for a while, and the two were in a stalemate.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that even if all the internal strength is lost, the hidden weapon fired can be so fast and powerful." While chasing the will-o'-the-wisp stone, Xiao Liu tried to stop the locust stone shot by Tong Bo, but no matter how hard he tried, he still failed. Also blocked.
"It turns out that he had already calculated the distance accurately when he shot the Locust Stone." Xiaoliu always missed the target by a hair every time he intercepted the Locust Stone, and finally realized the problem.
"Huh? It seems that Xiao Liu understands the secret of concealed weapons!" Tong Bo saw Xiao Liu running, his left palm inadvertently holding the bamboo stick behind his back, and secretly nodded: "It's time to decide the winner."
"Dang!" Xiaoliu saw the locust stone passing in front of him again, and he was ready to swing his bamboo stick horizontally to knock the locust stone away.
The Will-O-Wisp Stone, which had lost the impact of the Locust Stone, finally fell due to exhaustion. Xiao Liu turned his back to Tong Bo and pushed the bamboo stick in his left palm forward. After another breath, he could catch the falling stone.
A master's move can change the situation with just one breath; a flying knife as thin as a cicada's wing grabs in front of the bamboo stick, spins and flies from the air, hooks the will-o'-the-wisp stone one by one, and flies back to Tong Bo's hands.
"Brother Xiaoliu, I accept." Tong Bo took off the will-o'-the-wisp stone embedded in the hook of the knife and placed it on the table, smiling.
"Tch! I'm really being tricked." Seeing that the winner was decided, Xiao Liu accepted it calmly. He slowly inserted the bamboo stick back into his lower back and sat back opposite Tong Bo: "I thought that Tong Guard had lost all his internal strength. The concealed weapon that was struck should be weak and weak, unexpected..."
"It depends on the situation." Tong Bo smiled and said: "If the purpose is to hurt people, a concealed weapon that does not use internal force will be weak and weak; but if it is to seize objects, as long as precise control is required, it will be fine; Besides, the bedroom where Brother Xiao Liu lives is no more than three feet long and no more than two feet wide. Even if I don't use internal strength and only rely on my arm strength for such a distance, I have the confidence to be able to deliver the hidden weapon to where it is needed."
"Since the beginning, Guard Tong has taken care of everything?" Xiao Liu asked: "Guard Tong asked me to count three times. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to react in time and I will get the will-o'-the-wisp stone?"
"You won't." Tong Bo continued: "Little brother, haven't you noticed that every time you use your magic hand, you have a very bad habit, that is, your right shoulder will shake slightly; I just need to seize this momentary opportunity. , you can seize the opportunity."
"I see." Xiao Liu sighed secretly, losing all his energy: "Weiwei Tong is really observant."
"Soldiers are also deceitful." Tong Bo put away his smile and said seriously: "As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. In the game with me just now, my little brother thought of using bamboo sticks to intercept hidden weapons, which is very good; it's just that it's very good. It's a pity that I realized it a little late. If I could have used it earlier to make the movement trajectory of the will-o'-wit stone escape from my calculations, the outcome would have been uncertain."
"I really don't know if you are a guard or not?" Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really feel that you are really disrespecting your talents by not leading the army!"
"My little brother, I'm so proud of you." Tong Bo spread his hands and said, "I'm used to being idle, but I'm not ready to put the lives of all the soldiers on my shoulders."
"Are you putting the lives of all the soldiers on your shoulders?" Xiao Liu murmured to himself, as if the scene of the Pingbarbarian army's defeat a few years ago had returned to his mind.
"Brother Xiaoliu, a true man makes a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold." Tong Bo saw Xiaoliu's devastated look and smiled, pulling him back from his thoughts: "Isn't it time to fulfill the promise?"
"Tell me, what does Guard Tong want from me?" Xiaoliu asked cheerfully.
"During my absence, I will ensure the safety of the people in the bank." Tong Bo said solemnly and forcefully: "As for what to do, it all depends on the heart of the little brother."
"I agree." Xiao Liu nodded solemnly. Seeing Tong Bo getting up to leave, he quickly asked: "How should we deal with that head guard?"
"Hahaha!" Tong Bo, who had already reached the door, suddenly smiled and waved to Xiaoliu: "Come on, come on, come here."
