Bai Yutian finished chewing the chicken leg in his hand, took a chicken wing from Zhuo Yifei, handed it to Zhang Yan'er, and said: "The escorts in the escort agency come and go through wind and rain. They make money with their blood and sweat, and maybe even risk their lives. If everyone has to bow down to the top of a mountain and everyone gets a piece of the pie, wouldn't all the escorts have to drink from the northwest wind and find out what they can do to support their families? It's better to stay at home and watch the wife and children live in poverty and enjoy themselves. , why go to the knife edge to lick the blood."
The older man ate all the meat on the chicken bones without missing a bit, threw it away, took two sips of wine, and replied: "But the hilltop of Heihu Village is different. Han Sitong has been doing a good job in recent years." He became famous throughout the 500-mile radius. He also worshiped Jiang Yulang from Zhengyi Villa as his eldest brother. Jiang Daogong didn't give him face, and he also didn't give face to Jiang Yulang, the hero of the Central Plains. How could he tolerate Jiang Daogong turning a blind eye."
Bai Yutian agreed: "That's right. The Central Plains Wulin regards Zhengyi Villa as its esteem, and if it doesn't give Jiang Yulang face, it means it can't get along with the Central Plains Wulin. What Jiang Daogong did in this matter was somewhat inappropriate."
Zhuo Yifei interjected: "I heard people say that Jiang Yulang has done all the good deeds in the past twenty years, and he has wholeheartedly upheld justice for the martial arts world. He has never been selfish, and he will not be angry because Jiang Daogong did not show his kindness to him. Such You are petty. Besides, Zhengyi Villa is based in the Central Plains, and Longwei Escort Agency is based in the south of the Yangtze River. They have no contact with each other. Jiang Daogong and Jiang Yulang may have never met each other, so there is no need to bow their heads to show their goodwill."
The younger man smiled and said: "Little brother, you are confused. The reason why a saint is a saint is not that he is born a saint, but because others keep putting gold on his face and push him away for their own needs. He was praised as a saint. Jiang Yulang has a good reputation and has friends all over the world. If others think about him in everything and help him earn face in every way, they will be able to use his reputation and status to benefit themselves in the future. "
Bai Yutian's eyes suddenly lit up. He really didn't expect that this vulgar man could be so knowledgeable. It really proves the old saying, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea water cannot be measured.
But why have I never thought about this? Is it because of ignorance? Or is it because of stupidity? It seems like neither.
If you don’t pay attention, why pay back!
Diligence is the foundation for getting rich, and continuous self-improvement is the way to prosperity for a person, a family, a nation, and a country. Fighting against fraud, being short of weight, borrowing a chicken to lay an egg, and getting something for nothing can only be won for a while, not for a lifetime. The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, the dog relies on the power of the people, except to show off its power in front of the weak and helpless, once it encounters the strong person who is more serious in everything, it is just a way to die, and it is absolutely not advisable.
The two men expressed disappointment at the confused expressions on Bai Yutian's and the other four's faces, and began to wonder if they were members of the same group. Their vigilance was clearly visible between their brows.
When Bai Yutian saw this, he quickly changed his topic and said, "No wonder Han Sitong was so domineering in the letter. It turns out that he has the backing of the great hero Jiang Yulang, relying on the power of others, and having no fear."
The older man sighed slightly: "Jiang Daogong is dead, and the prestige of the Longwei Escort Agency has plummeted. This time, it is probably doomed. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity."
Zhuo Yifei said: "Brother, what's the pity? Could it be that Han Sitong gathered friends from all over the world this time to openly antagonize the Longwei Escort Bureau and make trouble at the head of the Longwei Escort Agency in Quzhou? Isn't this too much? Be bolder.”
The younger man replied: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Jiang Daogong is dead and the power of the Longwei Escort Bureau is still there, no matter how arrogant and domineering Han Sitong is, he will not be so eager to do such a stupid thing that will hurt both sides." thing."
Hu Yanqing interjected: "Since Han Sitong didn't dare to confront the Longwei Escort Agency head-on, we traveled day and night and rushed here. Wouldn't it be in vain?"
The older man took the small half of the pheasant from Zhuo Yifei and gave half to his companions. While eating, he replied: "It's not a waste of time."
Bai Yutian answered: "How do you say this?"
The younger man said: "I heard that Jiang Longwei, the son of Jiang Daogong, defeated Bai Yutian, his father's designated successor, and became the chief escort of the Longwei Escort Bureau. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are escorting a group of escorts northward. If they want to If we take a shortcut, we have to pass through the territory of Black Tiger Village, so there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Bai Yutian took the jug from Zhuo Yifei, took a sip, and said, "I heard that this escort was escorting the official silver handed over by Quzhou Prefecture to the imperial court. If Han Sitong dared to touch it, he would challenge the imperial court. , looks like rebellion, how can it end well."
The younger man answered: "Little brother, you are overthinking. To suppress the Longwei Escort Bureau, there is no need to touch the official bank. As long as this road is blocked, force Jiang Longwei to make concessions, or he can replace his father Jiang Daogong for his past arrogance." Apologize and admit your mistake, or take a detour."
Zhuo Yifei said: "As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while and take a step back to broaden the sky. In my opinion, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. He, Jiang Longwei, will definitely make concessions and will not be so unreasonable."
The older man said: "What I want is for Jiang Long to show weakness and make concessions."
Bai Yutian said: "Why do you want him, Jiang Long, to show weakness?"
The older man replied with a smile: "A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest. Jiang Daogong didn't want to take a look at Black Tiger Village during his lifetime. If Jiang Longwei made concessions, the majesty of Longwei Escort Bureau would be wiped out from now on, let alone There will be no end to the consequences."
Zhuo Yifei asked: "Is it that serious?"
The younger man said: "The first pass has set a precedent. Other forces are rushing to follow suit. The road ahead will be blocked everywhere. If you go hard, you will make enemies everywhere. If you don't go hard, you will have to do it." A loss-making transaction, how will the business continue in the future?”
Zhang Yan'er was sitting there doing nothing, then interjected: "Brother, according to your opinion, if Longwei Escort Bureau wants to continue its business in the future, it must not give in to the provocation of Black Tiger Village?"
The older man said: "For the long-term plan, Jiang Longwei should face the difficulties and never give in half a step. Black Tiger Village and Quzhou Prefecture are so close. If the sides of the couch cannot even be leveled, how can he be so powerful? Shocking all directions, escorts travel all over the world."
Bai Yutian listened to the man's words and felt that he had benefited a lot. He remembered the proverb "a fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs." He held the wine gourd firmly, paid respect to the man, and said happily: "I haven't asked two people for advice yet." A good man with a great surname, this is very rude, I hope you can forgive me!"
The older man cupped his hands and replied with a smile: "Ding Kai."
The younger man arched his hands and continued, "Ding Hua."
When Hu Yanqing heard this, he said happily: "It turns out they are the two heroes of the Kaihua Ding family. Disrespectful, disrespectful!"
The Ding brothers were very proud to see that Hu Yanqing, a little girl, knew the names of the two heroes of the Ding family. They said happily: "I really don't deserve the word "two heroes."
Hu Yanqing smiled and replied: "There, there. My father often said that the Ding brothers are not only indifferent to fame and wealth, but never leave a name for their good deeds. They are also excellent masters of the Eighteenth Road. They can eliminate the complex and simplify, defeat the clumsy with skill, and overcome hardness with softness. , it can be said to be a unique skill in the martial arts world. Once you take action, you can grasp the tendons and pulses, separate the tendons and bones, pinch the wrists and release the shoulders, and defeat the enemy within a short distance, and there is no defeat."
Seeing that Hu Yanqing was not only familiar with their brothers' martial arts, but also talked about them, the two heroes of the Ding family became curious and asked: "I wonder where the girl is from? Who is her father?"
Hu Yanqing replied: "I live in Hujiazhuang, Yugan, and my father is Hu Yiqiu."
Ding Kai said happily: "No wonder the girl is so charming and charming. She turns out to be the daughter of Hu Yiqiu, a tiger father with no dog daughter."
When Ding Hua heard Hu Yiqiu's name, he immediately reacted and said warmly: "Girl, as far as I know, your father Hu Yiqiu and Zhang Tianhao are as close as brothers, and Zhang Tianhao and Jiang Daogong are close friends. You just said that you would rush to Black Tiger Zhai Zhuquan, is there something wrong with your words?"
Bai Yutian stood up, bowed warmly to the Ding brothers, and replied: "The two uncles have been heroes throughout their lives and are indifferent to fame and fortune. They must know best that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. It is better to have fewer enemies than more friends. We and the four of us Although we are insignificant, we still want to overstep our capabilities and rush to Black Tiger Village to be a peacemaker and resolve this unnecessary dispute. I hope that my two uncles will lend a helping hand and help. My nephew will be very grateful."
When the Ding brothers saw Bai Yutian's frank words and heroic demeanor, and heard the word "uncle", they couldn't help but take a good look at it. They vaguely felt that his face was somewhat similar to that of an old friend, so they asked nicely: "I wonder where the master is from?" , can you tell me directly?"
Bai Yutian recalled that his father once mentioned the enlightened Ding brothers in an occasional conversation. They must have had a deep relationship in the past. At this time, they were in urgent need of help from the two of them, so they told him bluntly: "Father, Bai Yu. I think the two uncles saw some clues in my nephew's face, so they asked this question."
When the Ding brothers heard this, they felt as if they were in a dream. They quickly stood up and looked at Bai Yutianzi carefully. After confirming that it was correct, they were filled with joy and made everyone love him.
Ding Kai squeezed out words from his trembling lips: "How are you, Brother Bai Tianyu?"
When Bai Yutian heard Ding Kai call Bai Tianyu his eldest brother, he was overjoyed and said politely: "My father is in good health, but as he grows older, he often thinks of those good brothers in the past, and feels a little quiet and desolate deep in his heart, suffering from helplessness. On the day we meet again, I often sigh without thinking."
Somehow, after hearing this, the two heroes of the Ding family had water droplets in their eyelids, which shone brightly when illuminated by the sun. When Zhang Yaner and Hu Yanqing saw this, they felt confused and didn't know what to say to them.
Bai Yutian stepped forward, held the hands of the two Dings, and said happily: "My father lives under the Wulao Peak in Kuanglu Mountain. If the two uncles have time, they can go for a walk and have a drink with themselves. Brewed peach blossom wine.”
"Okay!" Ding Hua smiled happily, thinking of the past, and asked softly: "I wonder where my nephew came from when he entered the world?"
Bai Yutian replied: "To be honest with you two uncles, my nephew came out of Kuanglu Mountain firstly to fulfill his promise to a woman, secondly to clean up the Chunyang Clan, and thirdly because he was entrusted by his father to find those good things he had done back then. Brothers, see if they are doing well and if they have any difficulties.”
Ding Kai said: "Your father was framed back then, and the martial arts community rose up to attack him. In order not to implicate innocent people, we dismissed our subordinates. Due to the situation, we had no choice but to fade away from the world and live aloof from the world. But it's okay, you After your parents jumped off the cliff, the gang did not find the bodies of your parents. They were worried that your father was still alive, so they did not dare to chase and kill us. Later, Jiang Yulang intervened, and those hypocrites naturally restrained themselves from us. There are a lot of people, and as long as we don’t invade them, they won’t invade us.”
After hearing this, Bai Yutian felt much more relieved and said cheerfully: "That's good. My father has always been worried about your safety. If he hadn't been afraid of re-igniting martial arts disputes and causing more deaths and injuries, he might have come out to look for you earlier."
