As a qualified martial artist, Han Dahu built a martial arts arena in his manor.

It is said to be a martial arts training ground, but it is actually a larger flat land, not big enough for horse racing, but large enough for archery. This is also the place where Han Dahu practices martial arts, and with the surrounding yards and several houses, it is really not suitable for settling in the county town.

.The county town doesn’t have such a big place for him to deal with.

Especially for a low-level official like him, who was despised by civilian officials from all angles, he did not dare to act too arrogantly under the eyes of the county magistrate.

The second son-in-law, Cheng Zhijie, accompanied his father-in-law Liu Baosheng to the martial arts arena.

The two of them were whispering as they walked. Mainly Liu Baosheng said, and his son-in-law Cheng Zhijie listened: "Zhijie, I know your skills. Don't use too much force against a country man. If you are beaten, you will lose your face."

It doesn’t make sense. After all, we haven’t got the secret recipe yet, so we can’t fall out.”

This makes sense.

The second son-in-law Cheng Zhijie agreed: "Don't worry, father-in-law. I don't need my son-in-law to step in. I can let my subordinate Ma Bian let that boy know that there are mountains beyond the mountains. He will not be allowed to be arrogant. Obediently take out the secret recipe. It all belongs to the third family."

He came up with the idea of ​​cooperating with the mountain people because of his responsibility. Is it possible that a low-ranking mountain person like me can reach such a high level?"

These words sounded very appropriate to Liu Baosheng's ears. He was also restrained by money. If he could satisfy his daughter's ability to win over people in the palace, he would not do such a despicable thing.

means.

But right now, he is really at a loss. In order for his daughter to ascend to the throne smoothly and stabilize her status as a noble in the palace, he and his three son-in-laws emptied their wealth, and borrowed another foreign debt to collect 30,000 yuan.

.

At this time, when he saw the money, his eyes were red.

How could you hand over a huge fortune to an outsider?

Even if this outsider had a literary backer, if Zhou Yuan was a high-ranking official such as a transport envoy, it goes without saying that Liu Baosheng would have given up on suppressing him based on his talent. But the county magistrate, he felt that his official power could still withstand him for a while.

The second son-in-law, Cheng Zhijie, promised not to harm Li Kui. The matter was imminent and had to be done.

A moment later, Han Dahu, the third son-in-law who went out to greet him, walked into the martial arts arena with a dark-haired young man.

Li Kui knew very well that this was a threat given to him by the other party. If he passed this level, he could still make conditions, but if he couldn't even pass this level, his work would be in vain.

It's not that Li Kui didn't want to wait for the price.

He now has no money left in his hands, and without the protection talisman of a civil servant, it is difficult for him to use his tactics. If Zhou Yuan is allowed to participate in this, not to mention the eccentric personalities of scholars like Zhou Yuan who were born as Jinshi, it is very likely that not only will they not be able to

Participate in it, and even misunderstand that Li Kui is greedy for money, has bad character, and makes drastic actions out of disappointment.

For example: expel the divisions.

He had only been a disciple for less than ten days when he was expelled from the school. This was a huge loss of humiliation.

Therefore, the Liu family needs the secret recipe in Li Kui's hands, but Li Kui also needs the Liu family's network. Although military attaches are not popular, they will be absolutely crazy if they start business. Even if there are some outrageous things, local civil servants in the capital

The important ministers would also turn a blind eye and not care. Instead, they would consider this as a sign of the Liu family keeping their own rules. Especially the relationship between the Liu family and the palace. Once they embark on this path, their business will spread all over the world.

.

This is the case in the Song Dynasty. Some people can be tolerated and fattened, and they can become fat in any way. But they can never be fattened up.

In Baizhang Village, Li Kui only knew that the dynasty was the Northern Song Dynasty and did not know which emperor was reigning at all. However, in Yishui County, around Zhou Yuan, there were many newspapers coming and going. After paying attention, he still discovered some

Clues.

During the reign of Zhezong of the Northern Song Dynasty, this short-lived emperor in history seems to have not yet taken charge.

It is estimated that the emperor is still in the rebellious stage, and perhaps the daughter of the Liu family may actually have a chance to ascend to power.

This is the reason why he plans to cooperate with the Liu family. If he has no strength, then the other party will be afraid of him. If he has no strength and the other party is not afraid of him, then he deserves to be unlucky. After all, even if he holds the secret recipe, he has no way to obtain it.

Qualifications of salt merchants. The Salt Industry of the Song Dynasty was run by the government and required a government license. Salt farmers and salt merchants were separated. After the salt production was arranged by the Salt Supervisor, it was handed over to the salt merchants for sale. One was in charge of production and the other was in charge of sales. And there were also

It cannot be sold across regions, and the secret recipe is just a piece of waste paper in his hands.

But the Liu family is different. As long as they have a relationship with the palace, the Liu family has the ability to sell filtered salt to any corner of the Song Dynasty, even Liao and Xixia. This help comes with risks.

, but is Li Kui a person who is afraid of risks?

The moment he entered the martial arts arena, Li Kui narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people standing in the fifth arena.

Take a deep breath and walk over.

I have to say that the appearance of the older man makes people feel inexplicably fond of him. In one word, handsome. Shuaishuai, a handsome uncle, with expressive red and phoenix eyes, starlight in his eyes, and two sword-shaped eyebrows.

It is flamboyant but gives people a masculine look. It is neither tall nor short. It neither looks clumsy nor gives people a thin and peaceful look. It has the right benefits. Even a cloak that does not show off your figure can create a three-dimensional hanger.

, her genes are so good, no wonder her daughter can win the favor of the emperor. Especially her complexion is like jade, with a natural and healthy luster from the inside out. She is a temperamental uncle whose status as a military attaché has been tarnished.

As for the man next to the uncle, he looks much ruder, with fierce eyes, a big face, and a beard. If he weren't wearing the attire of a military commander, he would look more like a blacksmith. He has a strong back and strong waist, and is tall and majestic.

The appearance is pretty good, but I don't know how hard the work was done.

At least Li Kui didn't feel the dangerous aura emanating from the opponent's body, which made him wonder. The spiritual person looks like a ball, but he can exude a strong murderous aura and evil spirit. Why does that kind of aura of coercion?

Isn’t it reflected in a general?

This puzzled him. Could it be that this guy has restrained his murderous aura?

How capable is that?

If he really encounters such a person, Li Kui will admit that he is unlucky. At worst, I will give you the secret recipe. He will take the hard-earned money and never regret it. He admits failure! But the other person is a low-class person and dares to provoke him. This makes

He was very angry. Didn't he look like a coward who could be easily rubbed?

"That boy, is he Li Kui, a mountain man?"

Before Li Kui could speak, Cheng Zhijie spoke first. He pointed at Li Kui's identity in a very unceremonious manner, with a threatening tone that made him retreat. He seemed to have convinced Li Kui with a sinister smile. This expression

Li Kui also often shows his side to small animals. For example, when he saw a lone wolf, he looked at him innocently and begged him to let go, but unfortunately, he was hungry.

Li Kui said solemnly: "That's me. Is this General Liu?" Li Kui calmly ignored him and asked the older man instead.

"I am." Liu Baosheng didn't shy away from it. The moment his heart moved, he didn't want to lose face. At this moment, there was no need to be polite to Li Kui. He could just open the skylight and speak frankly, which would still make him look more upright.

Li Kui raised his hand and said, "I wonder if Han Dahu and General Liu have told me about the secret recipe."

"Yes." Liu Baosheng nodded and admitted.

"But this is not a place to talk about cooperation?" Li Kui suddenly laughed. He was talking to Liu Baosheng, watching and listening in all directions, and being careful.

Han Dahu did not respond.

There don't seem to be any hidden archers around.

Could it be that he had gone astray?

The second son-in-law, Cheng Zhijie, was the best at this kind of charge. He pointed at Li Kui and said, "Hey, you want to be on an equal footing with the Liu family? Cooperation is out of the question. I asked you to come here today because I want you to sell the secret recipe in your hand to my family. As for

Cooperate, you kid, don't have any wishful thinking. Just agree and we can give you a high price later. If not, hey, there will be a time when you will regret it."

Hahaha……

Li Kui suddenly laughed loudly. After a long time, he stopped laughing and said disdainfully: "Do you think you can stop me?"

"Boy, don't know that the sky is high and the sky is high. Today, I will let you see what it means that there is a sky beyond the sky and a mountain beyond the mountains. Can't you kid? In this world, the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong. If you want more benefits, you must have enough ability. How about that?

In this way, I will bet with you. As long as you can beat the ten horses under my command and defeat one person, how about giving you half the profit?" Cheng Zhijie thought to himself that he was also an official, so talking to a mountain man would not count.

Well, is this possible?

But the premise is that Li Kui can defeat his subordinate Ma Bian.

Ma Bian in the army is a personal soldier among the soldiers. Ma Bian is no longer a small army that feeds and leads horses to the general in name. In fact, it is the battlefield bodyguard of the general.

Li Kui grinned and said, "Okay. But can you keep your word?"

Cheng Zhijie is so angry!

He is also a man, how can he keep his word?

But with his father-in-law Liu Baosheng in front of him, he didn't dare to accept everything, so he turned to Liu Baosheng and said, "Father-in-law."

"Okay." Liu Baosheng was a little worried at first, thinking that Li Kui had something extraordinary. But at first glance, he was dark, rough-looking, and only 1.67 meters tall. He was just an ordinary person with a good figure.

You're not exactly tall, you're a bit meaty, but do you think you can be arrogant like this?

wrong!

Reality will give you a heavy blow, will you accept your fate?

After getting Liu Baosheng's consent, Cheng Zhijie showed off his power and said: "Boy, do you dare to agree?"

"Okay! But I'm going to say something ugly first. What if I beat all the horses you brought?" Li Kui didn't show a trace of fear, but looked at the other party with confidence.

Cheng Zhizhi snorted coldly: "If you beat my Ma Bian, I will compete with you. If you beat me, you will decide the regulations of this business. How about it?"

"I also have the final say in profit distribution?"

"That's right!"

"Happy! Make a written statement!" Li Kui immediately agreed.

Cheng Zhijie stumbled and almost doubled over. The moment he raised his head, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll let you be proud for a while, but there will be a time when you regret it."
