Chapter 53: Unexpected Gains (1)
"Tell me again, what happened that day."
To get apart, it is just a bad idea to make the other party think clearly and deeply understand who is the enemy and who is the friend, and form a new front.
Therefore, Yan Li took advantage of Du Hong's fear and forced him to recall the whole story.
People often say that hearing is false, seeing is true. In fact, seeing is not necessarily true, let alone memories guided by others.
Du Hong was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he never dared to process it himself again, so he had to start from the beginning: "On the eve of the battle between you and Zheng Meng, the Hengjiang Gang destroyed the Wang family. He heard that the Dajiang Channel had also had a look, so he celebrated and the little one drank a lot of wine. The next morning, as soon as the little one woke up, he was called by Zou Tong and said that Bu Chen and a Western Qin sword-casting master were going to find your lord, you fight with him, and let the little one go quickly and sing to the stage with Bu Chen.
"The young man and Bu Chen are old opponents, so I will dress up now and plan to show my face in front of the old and young heroes. Lord, you offered the conditions at that time, the loser must sweep a year. The young man thought about it, what if..."
"Tell it to the truth. The truth is alive, and the lies die. Yan's patience is limited." Yan Li said in a sequel.
Du Hong shivered again, gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "I think, if you lose your lord, the young man will go to Dongsha to help clean it for a year, and throw it to my grandma's house. It will be bad at that time... Then, lord, you will go over the young man and let the young man directly fight..."
"By the way, there is more. Just as you said you wanted Duan Shao to fight, the young man received a message from Zou Tong, saying that the young man had ruined a big deal and he must support you immediately!" Du Hong added, "So the young man immediately changed his words to support the lord, but it was too late..."
These words were like beans pouring from bamboo tubes, and they were instantly crackling and completely clean.
"Well, these are the truth." Yan Li nodded and said, "Do you know, what big thing did you do to help Hengjiang?"
Du Hong replied honestly: "It must have destroyed the relationship between Hengjiang Gang and your lord, and made the Hengjiang Gang's Dajiang Channel go wrong."
"Hahaha. You are really a fool." Yan Li laughed loudly, "The alliance between the Hengjiang Gang and the Han family is mutually beneficial. The Hengjiang Gang has obtained the waterway and the Han family has opened up wealth. How could it be that the Han family is in a stalemate because of a small matter? If you were in charge, would you have put a lot of money on it because of such a little unhappiness?"
"Uh..." Du Hong was speechless and thought to himself: That's not true! The lord didn't win in the end, why did the Han family give up their future money?
"Think about it again, the sword 'Xihen' in the young leader is a super-grade magic weapon. If I use him to fight, how could there be a reason for failure?" Yan Li said again.
Du Hong was completely stunned and thought to himself: Yes, that Xihen is a super-grade magic weapon! With such magic weapons in charge, he has already been invincible. Not to mention Zheng Meng, even his master, master, aunt and wife, they will go back to Jiuhuan Mountain together!
Yan Li continued: "I ask the young master to fight and win. Why do you need to do extra effort to create a sword for a person you look down on? I'm willing to ask you, it's already the face of Hengjiang Gang and you Du Hong."
Du Hong nodded blankly. He also figured it out. If he had encountered this, he would have used a super-winning super weapon to fight. Why bother to spend more effort? Things seemed to be different from what he originally thought. It seemed that Fenghuo Zhuang really had no malicious intentions...
"Now, let's talk about the next day."
"Yes, yes..." Du Hong said hurriedly.
"The young man returned to the Hengjiang Gang and was immediately scolded by the old man Zou Tong. The young man grew up in the Hengjiang Gang since he was a child. It was the first time that someone scolded me like this except his uncle! Zou Tong was born, and the young man dared not resist, so of course he hated him. At the same time... and... he also resented you, lord..."
Speaking of this, Du Hong looked up and looked at Yan Li. He found that the other party was as beautiful as usual. He understood that this resentment could not be hidden from the lord like a ghost. He hid it but caused trouble. He simply ignored everything and said everything.
Making up his mind, Du Hong gritted his teeth and continued:
"The young man was blind at that time, how could he understand your methods? Zou Tong asked the young man to give you a gift the next day, and the young man was very reluctant. But he repeatedly talked about the Dajiang Channel. The young man was also a member of the Hengjiang Gang, and his uncle treated me more kindly. Of course, he understood the importance of this channel. With Zou Tong's coercion, the young man agreed.
"Especially, Xiaode thought: Xiaode gave gifts to the door early in the morning, and he was also a guest of honor. His mortal enemy Bu Chen had to clean the door early in the morning, which was like a prisoner. In contrast, Xiaode did not lose face... So, early the next morning, Xiaode met Bu Chen at the door of Fenghuobao and couldn't help but sarcasticize him. Who knew that he had violated your lord's taboo..."
"I don't have that many taboos." Yan Li said, "Look, if you tell the truth, I won't be angry at all. You are doing well now."
"The vast amount of lords is actually the style of ancient sages. The little ones can only worship him!" Du Hong immediately breathed a long sigh, and his heart, which had been hanging high, finally fell half of it, and immediately gave him a certain high hat!
"Save it flattery, I don't like it." Yan Li said calmly, Du Hong felt so frightened in his heart, and quickly put away the small movements, "Think about it carefully now, what did I say to you at that time?"
"Yes." Du Hong said respectfully. He still remembered the scene at that time. "At that time, you asked, is it embarrassing to sweep the floor for you?"
"That was not what I asked, it was Gui Yun."
"Uh..." Du Hong didn't react and thought to himself, isn't your child asking the same question as you asked?
"A young boy, ask a few unbearable questions, that's all." Yan Li said.
Du Hong was a playboy, and he still understood the twists and turns of the scene. He immediately realized: Yes, no matter whether those questions were from the lord or not, since they were from the mouth of a child, then he would be a child without hesitation. Even if this young hero is a little embarrassed, he would just lose some face. Moreover, there was no big problem with the young hero's response at that time...
"I've passed on a few words to you." Yan Li continued, "I think you should still remember it."
"Yes, I dare not forget it for a moment." Du Hong nodded repeatedly, thinking that these two sentences almost killed me. "The first sentence, you said, leave the gift and let people go back."
"Is there any problem with this sentence?" Yan Li asked.
"Uh..." Du Hong scratched his head, thought about it carefully twice, and said, "Tell me the truth. When I heard this, I thought you... you... are too frivolous to give Xiao a face... too... too frivolous..."
He raised his eyes again to look at Yan Li's expression. After finding that there was no change, he quickly continued, "When the young man heard that you used an iron broom to give Bu Chen a breakthrough and exchange blood, the young man realized that this was exactly the same as the old saying: The more capable a person has, the more he has! A master like you should be so confident! An idle person is not qualified to step on the threshold of your old man...
"This is the truth, not flattery!" Du Hong continued quickly, "If you don't say it far away, just talk about Master Ding Can of Hardware Hall, Master Qi Deng of Gu Yueju, and Master Ning Rou of Sufengzhai. If you meet on Jianchuan Street or on various occasions, you will of course be generous and generous, and treat the wise and humble! But if you are a young man who comes to the door to give gifts, they will send a shopkeeper and a friend will not show up at all..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Yan Li waved his hand to interrupt his long-term words.
"Yes, yes." Du Hong quickly turned the topic back, "So, lord, your treatment should be done, and the young should not have any dissatisfaction!"
In these words, except for the final "no dissatisfaction" that went against one's will, Du Hong himself believed in other analysis!
His inner thoughts were: If I had half of my lord's profoundness, I wouldn't pay attention to those who came to give gifts. Alas, this young man has been yearning for this realm for a long time...
Yan Li did not expose his little thoughts this time and continued to ask: "So, what about the second sentence?"
"You said... a sword can be without a sharp edge, but a hero will not have bones..." Du Hong's voice was a little low, and he said to himself: The bad things are bad in these two sentences, "These two sentences... these two sentences..."
"How is it?" Yan Li asked, "Yan just looks down on you, can't you say?"
"Of course," Du Hong said quickly. How dare he criticize now?
"In Jianchuan City, a sword-making master rated a young swordsman, what's the problem?"
"No problem." Du Hong Ying said, unable to help but think: But your lord's comment can directly make this young hero unable to survive!
"You are thinking, this evaluation makes you unable to survive." Yan Li sneered.
"I..." Although my thoughts were expressed several times, Du Hong was still shocked and almost collapsed on the chair.
"Why can I be respected by your courage?" Yan Li said indifferently, "When you use your brain to think about it carefully. After I said this, what will happen in Jianchuan City?"
"Uh..." Du Hong was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, "The little one will lose his reputation in Jianchuan City and will not be able to survive..."
"Do you have a good reputation? Can your pretending skills deceive all the masters? Or is your Hengjiang Gang very popular in Jianchuan City?"
"No..." Du Hong's voice became lower and lower. He knew in his heart that Du Hong, who was also among the passionate young heroes at the bottom, still had some reputation. There were few masters in major workshops who took him seriously.
The Hengjiang Gang is not a group of people in Jianchuan City. It’s like the Hengjiang Gang invites Yan Li to a banquet, and it is necessary to invite a business team to entertain the fun. If it weren’t for the charm of Shang Shaoqing, Zou Tong’s banquet might not be willing to enjoy it!
If not, with Zou Tong's stinginess, how could he spend a lot of money? Please ask Boss Cheng to come on stage in person?
"So, this sentence at most makes you get out of Jianchuan City in a dilemma and go back to your uncle to live a life." Yan Li said.
Du Hong nodded like a pecking rice. That's what he thought when he heard this!
"But, this sentence won't kill you." Yan Li said leisurely.
"Hmm..." Du Hong responded subconsciously, and the tiger eyes that were good at releasing various disguised emotions kept blinking, thinking: Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. Why did this young hero lose his life in a blink of an eye?
"You should understand now: Although you have hit many nails with me and are covered in dust, I have never intended to kill you." Yan Li smiled, "So, why are you beaten to death and being carried to Fenghuo forging so miserably? Or ask directly, who asked you to touch these nails? If you die, who can get the best interests?"
Du Hong widened his eyes, remained silent for a while, and his pupils contracted silently: "Is it that old man Zou Tong? From beginning to end, he just wanted to kill me-"
Han Xi, who was sitting behind Yan Li, couldn't help but be stunned after listening to this conversation. If it weren't for the exercise of exercise, his chin would have fallen to the ground. He thought to himself: Uncle Li, when you analyzed this matter with us yesterday, that's not what you said!

ps. There will be two updates today, but the second update will probably be before midnight. Everyone who goes to bed early and gets up early can prepare to watch tomorrow...
