Neither of them paid any attention to Linghan, and each took a stance.
Xiong San was a rough man, but his sword skills were very delicate, which surprised Xu Qingchen a lot. Since Xiong San had a good relationship with Yangfan, he asked Yangfan about Xiong San before coming. Yangfan's original words were: "Xiong San is a person with rough lines, and even his martial arts moves are also very rough."
It seems that he was tricked by Yang Fan... Yang Fan likes to make harmless little jokes with acquaintances.
The two fought fiercely, and in Xu Qingchen's opinion, Xiong San's strength was inferior to Zhang Yuan's. In Xiong San's view, Xu Qingchen's strength is similar to Yangfan's, but he lacks experience in fighting enemies. Xiong San knew the gap between himself and Yang Fan, and he knew he couldn't win as soon as the two fought. But his character did not allow him to admit defeat, so he used all his strength to fight Xu Qingchen.
After hitting more than a hundred moves, Xiong Sanyi waved his hand: "That's it, I can't beat you."
Xu Qingchen sheathed her sword, clasped her fists and said, "Master Xiong, I accept the concession."
"You can call me Third Hall Master from now on, or just call me by name. If that doesn't work, follow these guys and call me Third Brother. Don't always refer to me as Hall Master Xiong or Hall Master Xiong. My surname is not Xiong."
Xu Qingchen felt ashamed and said, "Okay, Xiong...the third hall master."
"You are good at martial arts. I am a man of my word. You have the final say here from now on."
Xiong San neatly admitted that he couldn't beat him. There was nothing to argue about, so if he wanted to blame Ling Han for teasing him.
Ayana trotted over and said with a smile on her face: "Big man! It's my turn!"
Xiong San glanced at Linghan and said disdainfully, "I don't do anything with women."
Ayagan was unhappy: "Hey! You look down on me, don't you?!"
Xu Qingchen hurriedly grabbed her and said to Xiong San: "Find us a place to live first."
Xiao Chunyang on the side said: "Everyone lives in the west courtyard. Before you came, we didn't know you were bringing a girl. The east courtyard is quite small, why don't we let Miss Ayana live there temporarily."
The people brought by Xiong San are all young, selected by Qiao Fei, and all have good moral character. Because it was Xiong San who fell in love with him, he was more or less generous. Although Xu Qingchen is not a heroic person, he likes to be with such people. They always remind Xu Qingchen of Zhang Yuan.
They all tidied up the east courtyard together, and they were all young men, so they became familiar with each other in a short time. Originally, Xiong San's opinion of Xu Qingchen was just that "he is young, fresh-faced, and has never seen the world." After the two of them fought, they didn't know each other.
Ayana's personality is rather quirky, but she's not ignorant. Once she gets acquainted, she can play with these young guys.
"This is the situation now," Xiong San said lazily, "everything is fine. The people from Yeyu Xiaozhu sent people to monitor us a few days ago, but they withdrew later and gave us some gifts. As courtesy reciprocates, I also returned some gifts."
The east courtyard has been tidied up, and fifteen people, including everyone in the branch and Linghan, are sitting in the hall to discuss matters. It was almost dark now.
Xu Qingchen said: "The third hall master handled the situation very well. It's not the younger brother who takes the air. The master sent me to take charge of the official affairs here. I have to take responsibility."
Xiong San waved his hand: "It's okay, just say what you need to say."
Xu Qingchen nodded: "There are only a few of us at the helm now. Don't rush to recruit people for now. Let's stabilize for a while. Try not to conflict with Ye Yu Xiaozhu during this period. This is their territory after all. Fortunately, both parties There is currently no conflict of interest between us, so we can get along. During this period of stability, we should do more good deeds and gain a good reputation."
Xiong San said: "Generally speaking, Luzhou is relatively peaceful. At most, there are only some rogues with no eyesight. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and we have not touched the small gang."
"If they are just bullying the market, let's leave it alone and let the locals coordinate. Once they go too far, it will not be too late to take action."
Xiong San was a little surprised: "I thought you were a jealous person."
Xu Qingchen smiled helplessly: "It was true before, but during this period I also understood some things. Drawing a sword to help when there is an injustice is not necessarily a good thing, and a small amount of patience will mess up the big plan."
"This is what Mr. Yang told you, right?
? "
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "We have never talked about this."
"Then you two have similar ideas."
Xu Qingchen knocked on his knees and said, "Let's do this. Send a few brothers out to inquire about the good and bad news, and find two more clever ones to summarize the news every day. We are not familiar with the place where we live. The situation is critical."
Xiong San said: "That's no problem, everyone here is pretty smart except me."
Xu Qingchen said with a smile: "The three principals will stay here and stay in charge, and try to go out as little as possible."
"Am I in charge? What about you?"
"I have to go out and have a look. It's better to understand it personally."
Linghan raised her hands and asked impatiently: "What about me? Where about me?"
Xu Qingchen was a little helpless: "Linghan, you are not from our Thorn Sect, so I can't assign you tasks... Well, just follow me in your free time and help me."
Ayana thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
Xiong San stared at Linghan, frowned and asked, "I've been wanting to ask you since you walked in. Your name is very similar to the Thorny Silver Light Linghan. Are you not the same person?"
Linghan nodded: "That's me. The famous Thorny Silver Light is just me."
The name of Thorny Silver Light is not that famous to Linghan, but it is famous at least. According to rumors in the world, she is a capable and no-nonsense chivalrous woman, a disciple of the Tianquan Sect, with strong boxing and fingering skills, and has gained some fame.
Xiong San looked unbelieving: "What are you bragging about?"
"How can I brag?!"
"Who doesn't know that the Thorny Silver Light uses fists? Are those pair of knives behind your back just decorations?"
Linghan pushed Xu Qingchen: "Tell him."
Xu Qingchen nodded: "Yes, she is... she originally used fists, but after our last sparring session, she switched to using a knife."
Xiong San pinched his chin and said, "I see...hehe, not bad."
Ayana asked: "What's not bad?"
"When the old sect master was still here, he paid great attention to you, the elites of the world. At the beginning of the year, you picked out the horse bandits who had been entrenched in the business road for many years outside the customs. The old sect master noticed you and thought you were a talent. Originally, I wanted to I sent Young Master Yang to find you and trick you into joining the Thorn Clan. But Young Master Yang was lying in bed at the time, so the matter was delayed."
"Oh?" Linghan became interested, "Has your Thorn Sect ever thought about absorbing me?"
"Yes, although she is not very famous, she is definitely a lovable girl. If the old sect master is still there, you may have entered the Thorn Sect."
Ayana smiled sheepishly: "It's just a small fuss, but you can still become famous, haha, thank you, thank you."
Xiong San changed the subject: "Fortunately, I didn't recruit you."
"What do you mean?"
"Who knew you were a fire-loving master? If I let you in, I would probably provoke others to fight every day."
Linghan got angry and slapped the table: "What do you mean!"
"Hey, not only do you like to pick fights with others, but you also have a bad temper. You little girl has such a bad temper, how are you going to get married in the future?"
"You! You're so mad at me! Don't stop me! I'm going to beat him! Xu Qingchen, let me go!"
…
"My name is Xu Qingchen, right?" In Ye Yu's study room, Chen Zijue looked at the file in his hand and asked his subordinates.
"Yes."
"Some time ago, he gained some fame in Yaoxian Valley. Hey... It would have been nice to get rid of him in Luzhou. Now that he has joined the Thorn Sect, it will be difficult to kill him... How is the scarface leader doing? Already?"
"Back to Mr. Chen, Luoyang is proceeding step by step. There are no major changes at the moment... It's just..."
"Just what?"
"The substitute for the Scarface leader is lost."
"Lost?" Chen Zijue frowned, "Has something happened to Scarface, who should have been the least likely to have a problem? A prisoner cow was broken in Shili Mountain. Scarface won't be broken in Luoyang, right? You all should do something better. Heart, otherwise I will be scolded to death by the leader. Where is the eldest son?"
"have no idea."
"Forget it, leave him alone, the young master loves to play by nature."
"Mr. Chen, are you leaving the Luzhou Thorn Gate sub-rudder like this?"
"Otherwise? You can't attack them openly. What happened to the remnants of Changfeng Tower?"
"Twenty-six of the forty people on the list have been confirmed dead, and the rest... basically went to Luoyang Xianren Hall."
"It's okay, I tried my best. Have the people from the north arrived?"
"Already arrived."
Chen Zijue smiled slightly and murmured to himself: "Isn't the fun beginning now?"
