Luo Chuan paused for a moment and then said: "Mrs. He, I have seen your martial arts moves. They are actually very sophisticated, but they are just a bit unfamiliar and lack internal strength. When you become more familiar with them and your internal strength becomes stronger, things will naturally be different!" "
While the two were talking, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue finished practicing their swords and came to Luo Chuan to thank them. Luo Chuan then took out four pills and gave two to each of the sisters, telling them that they were a panacea that could enhance their internal strength.
The two of them were overjoyed and hurriedly took it. After bowing to express their thanks, they drank it immediately. Luo Chuan asked them to sit cross-legged side by side, while he sat behind them, put his palms on their vests, and used his internal energy to help them quickly digest the effects of the pills.
After a cup of tea, Luo Chuan gathered his strength and stood up. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue stood up, feeling hot and energetic in their bodies. The two immediately swung their swords and started practicing the introductory sword skills.
This time is indeed very different, but the sword energy is everywhere and can be felt several feet away. After the two of them finished practicing, their expressions remained unchanged and their hearts did not beat. The two sisters looked at each other and immediately came to Luo Chuan.
The two of them knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you so much, brother. Please accept us as your disciples."
Luo Chuan quickly helped them up, smiled, and said: "Since you call me eldest brother, how can you accept me as your teacher? I don't want to grow up a generation out of thin air!"
After Qiu Shuang heard this, they didn't know what to do for a while. But Hongxing understood what Luo Chuan meant. She knew that he just didn't want to accept a disciple, but he could teach martial arts, so she said, "Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue, why don't you meet your eldest brother yet?"
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue had an epiphany, and hurriedly knelt down again and said: "Little brother and little sister pay homage to big brother. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Luo Chuan helped the two of them up and said, "Since you recognize me as your eldest brother, we are a family. From now on, we cannot kneel down and kowtow all the time. That would be too foreign."
The two of them were a little embarrassed by what Luo Chuan said. Qiu Shuang quickly changed the subject and asked: "Brother, what kind of pill did you give us to have such a magical effect?"
Only then did Fei Ying interject: "Sister Qiu Shuang, this is a family elixir carefully refined by my family. It can not only cure diseases and save people, but also enhance internal strength. We are not willing to give it to him if he is not a relative or friend! This medicine is refined It is extremely difficult, and it is difficult to find all kinds of medicinal materials.”
When Hongxing heard this, she immediately became interested and said: "Young Master Ximen, can you please give me one? I also want to refine such a pill."
Fei Ying did not refuse, took out one pill from his arms, gave it to Hongxing, and said: "Mrs. He, I know you have superb medical skills. But the formula of this pill is special. Only my grandma knows about it, and even my grandpa doesn't know it." . Many people have taken my pills and studied them for a long time, but no one can come up with it. Whether Mrs. He can succeed, I think it depends on luck!"
Qiu Shuang was very confident in Hongxing and said confidently: "Ximen Young Hero, my wife is extremely smart and will definitely be able to develop it successfully."
Hongxing waved her hand, signaling Qiu Shuang not to say any more. She wanted Qiu Shuang and the two of them to be grateful to Mrs. Ximen. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue nodded in agreement and expressed their gratitude to Fei Ying again.
Luo Chuan waved his hand, and together with Feiying, he continued to concentrate on teaching Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue. After a while, Ximen Shan and Feixiang also came to the martial arts training ground.
Hongxing quickly asked Ximenshan to teach her martial arts. Ximenshan admired Hongxing very much, so he did not refuse and immediately taught Hongxing to practice martial arts. Everyone practiced until very late and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Luo Chuan was in the courtyard instructing everyone to practice swordsmanship. Suddenly someone came to report that a group of people from the boat gang had arrived and were approaching the entrance of the village. Ximenshan and Hongxing were shocked and quickly led people to the entrance of the village.
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Hongxing took a closer look and saw that it was Li Zhen who brought people there in person. Li Zhen once took the lead in attacking Taohua Village, but he was defeated halfway and escaped. Therefore, some people in Peach Blossom Village have never seen him.
Li Zhen thought Feixiang's original demand for compensation of one thousand taels of gold was too high and had no intention of agreeing. However, Ruoxue advised him not to make enemies of the Ximen family for the time being. The Ximen family were too skilled in martial arts and would be difficult to deal with. Moreover, now that Taohua Village has established a relationship with the Nanyang Bafang Escort Agency, it is easy to get help from various factions in the Nanyang martial arts world.
Li Zhen came back defeated that day, but he didn't know that the martial arts school also arrived in Taohua Village later. But Ruoxue told him that the spies sent to find out the information came back to report that the two heroes of justice from Nanyang Martial Arts School had arrived in Taohua Village.
After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but take a breath. He may not take Bafang Escort Agency seriously, but he does not dare to look down upon Nanyang Martial Arts School. Li Zhen hesitated again and again, then decided to take five hundred taels of gold and go to Taohua Village in person the next day to make peace with them temporarily.
As the saying goes, everyone who comes is a guest, and you can't hit the smiling person with your fists. Since the other party came to meet him with courtesy, Hongxing couldn't help but treat him coldly.
Hongxing stepped forward, bowed her hands and said, "Everyone is here, what do you want?"
Li Zhen returned the greeting and said: "This gang has offended us before, and we discussed it with Senior Ximen yesterday. I came here this time to turn the hostility into friendship and eliminate the misunderstanding."
When Luo Chuan heard this, he immediately said: "Gang Leader Li, it seems that you have agreed to our request?"
Li Zhen replied: "Luo Shaoxia, we agree to your request. It's just that the thousand taels of gold you asked for is too much, and I only have five hundred taels for all I have. However, the leader of the gang promises that Taohua Village and the nearby villages ten miles away will be treated as such. Never come to disturb us. Let’s live in peace with each other and not interfere with each other. What do you think?”
Being able to get such a result is naturally an extra joy for Hongxing. But she couldn't make the decision on her own.
Hongxing turned to look at Luo Chuan and asked softly: "Luo Shaoxia, what do you think we should do?"
Before Luo Chuan could answer, Feixiang said first, "Leader Li, the Boat Gang is rich and powerful, why are you so poor today?"
Ruoxue was on the side and shouted: "Girl, why is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
Feixiang was not angry and smiled slightly and said: "Miss Ruoxue, don't be angry. You should know that when it comes to talking, I, the girl, have always made the decision on behalf of the Ximen family! If I don't agree, it's just the Ximen family who don't agree!"
Although Feixiang's words are a bit exaggerated, they are basically the truth. When the Ximen family deals with others, it is indeed Feixiang who does it for them. Simon is also more indulgent and rarely stops her.
Not only the people in Taohua Village have already seen this, but even Li Zhen and Ruoxue also know it. Ruoxue was speechless for a moment, speechless.
Seeing that Ruoxue was a little embarrassed, Li Zhen said quickly: "Miss Feixiang, this gang leader is not crying for poverty, but is indeed short of money. I can promise you that I will make up for it when I have enough savings. What do you think? ?”
Luo Chuan saw that Li Zhen had sent five hundred taels of gold, and the purpose of punishment had been achieved, so he might as well just accept it. It is best to do everything in moderation, and be merciful to others. Knowing that Ximen Shan was eager to leave here, he immediately went north to chase Feiyun and Wu Zetian.
Luo Chuan said: "Since Gang Leader Li has shown his sincerity, we will believe you for once. Mrs. He, please send someone to check and accept it. After confirming that it is correct, we will release everyone from the Boat Gang and let Gang Leader Li take it back!"
Hongxing was originally afraid that Feixiang's insistence on asking for a thousand taels of gold would cause the negotiation to fail. When she heard Luo Chuan agreed, she was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed and called the two servants to come forward.
Opposite me, Li Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Feixiang would mess around and refused to give in. When he saw Luo Chuan agreeing, he waved his hand, and two boat gangs carried a large box to the center and handed it to the servants of the He family.
After Hongxing's servant checked that everything was correct, he carried the box back and told Hongxing that there was nothing wrong with it. Hongxing nodded, and immediately ordered Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue to take people home, and brought nearly a hundred captured boat gang members over and handed them over to Li Zhen.
Seeing that the handover between the two parties was completed, Luo Chuan said: "Gang Leader Li, you and Taohua Village are not friends, so it is inconvenient to invite you into the village. I am an outsider, and I hope that both of you can abide by today's agreement!"
Li Zhen replied: "Young Master Luo, you and I are not acquainted with each other. Now that Young Master has come to Nanyang, we want to do our best to show our friendship as landlords. I wonder if Young Master will appreciate you?"
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "I appreciate Gang Leader Li's good intentions. However, my visit to Nanyang this time was purely for sightseeing, and I had no intention of participating in the world. It's just that Mrs. He and I have an old friendship, and she once cured my disease." I help you because you are injured. I hope you will do more good deeds and accumulate more merits in the future, and you will naturally be rewarded. Otherwise, I am afraid you will be repaid!"
Li Zhen couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Luo Chuan rejecting the offer and threatening him in his words. Luo Chuan believed that Hongxing had healed his injuries. Li Zhen had long heard of Hongxing's excellent medical skills.
Li Zhen said no more, handed over to Ximen Shan, Hong Xing and others, turned around and left. Ruoxue looked at Luo Chuan, bowed her hands to him, and turned to leave. Seeing that the gang leader and the saint had left, the Boat Gang members followed closely behind.
After the boat gang members disappeared, Hongxing led everyone back to the village. Hongxing took part of the gold and distributed it to the villagers, leaving part for the village to build walls, build houses, and purchase weapons.
That night, Hongxing held a banquet for Ximen Shan, Zheng Lang, Zhao Zheng, Qian Yi and others as well as the whole village. Everyone in Peach Blossom Village finally had some joyful atmosphere after all their hardships. Although many people have lost loved ones, life still goes on.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone felt a little drunk. Hongxing said to everyone: "This time our Taohua Village can be saved because of the efforts of all the heroes. Especially Ximen's family, they have made the greatest contribution. The little girl has no way to repay her, she wants to worship Senior Ximen as her adoptive father, and she will be filial to him in the future. ! I wonder if Senior Ximen will dislike the little girl?"
Hongxing's words were unexpected, and they didn't react for a moment. After a while, Zheng Lang and Zhao Zheng immediately understood Hongxing's thoughts. They knew that Hongxing first wanted to repay her kindness, and secondly, she wanted to get closer to the Ximen family.
If Hongxing becomes the adopted daughter of Ximen Mountain, the Ximen family will become the backers of Taohua Village. If the boat gang knew about it, they would be even more afraid to provoke Taohua Village. After all, the Ximen family's martial arts were obvious to all.
Zheng Lang even thought that if Ximenshan was only in his fifties, Hongxing would probably offer to marry Ximenshan. Zheng Lang had also advised Hongxing before, asking her to find someone to marry while she was still young, so that she would not have to be a widow for her brother.
