"Waiter, cut two pounds of beef and warm a pot of good wine!"

"The imperial court prohibits the private slaughter of farm cattle. It violates the law. Someone comes and takes him down!"

Xiongba, death.

…

The above scenario did not happen.

When Xiong Ba sat down, dropped a piece of silver, and made the above request, the waiter at the tea shop immediately became happy and went to cut the beef.

In this era, one ingot of silver is equivalent to 600 yuan in later generations. Think about it, if you give 600 yuan to a waiter at a food stall, he will not be able to serve you well with wine and food?

As for the ban on the sale of beef, it is actually just a verbal decoration. The slaughter of farm cattle has not been allowed in all dynasties. However, not to mention that there is no shortage of cattle and sheep at the banquets of the rich and powerful. Folk beef is also rampant. As long as there is money, it is all

Can't help it.

And educated people, such as Li Bai, would recite a poem when eating beef with fine wine: "It is fun to cook sheep and slaughter cows, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time!"

Illiterate people, like Xiong Ba, eat beef with fine wine and nod their heads: "Hmm! It's delicious! It's delicious!"

He ate well, and the atmosphere in the tea shop was also lively.

A few miles away is the capital city, the center of the world. Whether you are studying to gain fame, doing business, or being a martial artist, you can't help but feel a sense of pride and ambition, thinking about your own bright future.

Xiong Ba is an ambitious person. After eating half a plate of beef and drinking strong wine, he felt warm all over and began to look at and listen calmly.

He was looking for an opportunity to get in touch with the powerful people in the capital, recruit troops, and establish his own power.

The battle with Xiong Wu made him realize that no matter how powerful a person's martial arts is, unless he reaches the extreme level of a sword master, who is the best sword in the world, he must control a large force in order to make a difference.

Last year, the ten sects were defeated miserably in Lingyun Cave. The top ten leaders were killed, and the elite elders suffered heavy casualties. The Xiongba was waiting for the opportunity, hoping that chaos would spread in the world, and even counting on Wushuang City to go south.

Nothing happened.

Xiongba was very surprised.

Have times changed?

Is he the only one left among the careerists in the martial arts world?

He doesn't believe it!

Originally, Xiong Ba had already taken his fancy to a martial arts family and wanted to marry the head of the family. It was not a hit-and-run relationship at first sight. The main reason was that the head of the family possessed a unique skill passed down from his family, had a wealth of wealth, was innocent, and had a daughter. This was simply the best stepping stone.

.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Xiongba resolutely abandoned this line.

He is a hero with pursuits. A big event like the bloodbath of the ten sects can never happen again. If he misses this village, there will be no shop. In comparison, what is the wealth and martial arts? What is the right way to take advantage of the opportunity to rise?

Xiongba established the first organization in his life, the Money Gang!

I want to use money to pave the way and achieve great things.

Just when the money gang's business was booming, Xiongwu came to kill him.

After a confrontation, the money gang was wiped out.

Not only was his hard work destroyed by Xiong Wu, but his life was almost lost.

Xiongba once wondered if he had taken too big a step, but he opened his bow without any intention of turning back.

It doesn't matter that the money gang is gone. Next, he plans to establish a power gang and rise again while the top ten sects are licking their wounds.

But before that, the scourge of Xiongwu must be solved.

Since Xiongwu's martial arts skills were extremely high, ranking above the top ten masters, Xiongba felt that if he wanted to win, he could only use the imperial power.

Since the change of dynasties, the power of Jianghu has become stronger and stronger, and the prestige of the imperial court has gradually declined until it disappeared.

The various sects in the world dominate the towns and cities without even paying taxes, which is equivalent to countless vassal towns.

I believe that the royal family has long been unable to bear it any longer. It is just that they are not strong enough to have an attack.

"As long as the imperial court officially conflicts with various sects, it will be an opportunity for my power gang!"

Xiongba put the beef into his mouth, chewed it slowly, looked in all directions, and eliminated targets one by one.

The tea shop he chose was the busiest one near Guandao. There were nearly twenty tables, at least half of whom were from the world. They were dressed in elegant clothes, chatted and laughed happily, and everyone spoke nicely, attracting a lot of people.

attention.

But Xiong Ba knows that these are often the good and the beautiful, but those who are taciturn and slow to eat and drink are the real characters.

By the time the plate of beef was nearly finished and people were coming and going, he had already focused his attention on a tall woman occupying a table to herself.

He couldn't see through this person at all, but he felt vaguely familiar.

In a daze, Xiong Ba remembered the time when old man Sanjue was practicing martial arts.

The old man Sanjue once practiced his three skills on the top of the mountain, transforming into a sword of frost and snow, facing the unpredictable sea of ​​clouds and the fierce wind.

The domineering force of the three majestic forces between heaven and earth made everything seem to surrender to him, making Xiongba unforgettable forever.

Now this person seems to be not even as good as the peak martial arts performance of Sanjue Old Man.

I can’t tell you exactly, but it’s just very, very powerful.

Xiongba's eyes flickered, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards the table while holding the half-drunk wine.

He walked around in a circle and deliberately came to the front of the woman to strike up a conversation.

But when the woman raised her head and glanced coldly, Xiong Ba's heart suddenly became excited.

hiss!

These facial features and appearance only appear once every few hundred years!

When he saw the strong and burly back, he was already mentally prepared. After all, it was normal for people in the world to be rugged and heroic, but when compared with the front, he actually felt like a killer from behind!

But Xiongba is Xiongba after all. He calmly sat down opposite and said in a familiar voice: "Friend, it's boring to drink alone. How about having a drink together?"

The woman showed no reaction, as if there was a ball of air in front of her and no one existed at all.

She is none other than the great witch Xiao Jingtian.

After the battle in Wushuang City, Xiao Jingtian did not swim back to Japan in the winter. Instead, he traveled around China to experience the local customs.

Since learning the Four Arts of Hunyuan, due to the fear of Xiao Sanxiao and fear of having their martial arts taken away by their father Gui, the Xiao brothers have been hiding in Japan. They only come to China a handful of times, and each time they come in a hurry and return in a hurry.

But after experiencing the storm, Xiao Jingtian is no longer afraid of Xiao Sanxiao, and even looks forward to a head-on battle with him. Naturally, there is no need to rush back to Japan.

She spent half a year traveling around various places, and then came to the capital.

During the whole process, the realm of Hunyuan's four skills has been gradually improved. Although Wushuang City has lost hundreds of years of skill in the battle, and it will not be replenished for a while, but when it comes to real combat power, it is probably increasing instead of decreasing.

Such a state is close to the pinnacle of this world. Whether a person is sincere or has an ulterior motive can be determined at a glance.

Xiongba's deliberate approach was like a clown, making her completely unwilling to pay attention to him.

This was after a big change in temperament. In the past, Zhang Wu was the elegant and easy-going one during the day, and at night he was the elegant and easy-going Great Demon God. With one punch, his head blossomed.

Of course, even if her temperament changes drastically, Xiao Jingtian is definitely not the Virgin. If the person in front of her still dares to pester her, then go to hell.

Xiongba didn't know how terrifying this man was, but he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He closed his mouth tactfully and looked at him carefully.

It was hard to put into words when I first saw it, but it was still hard to say when I saw it again, but the meaning was different.

Although this person looks ugly, he has an indescribable grace. His facial features seem to be magically crafted and harmonious with the heaven and earth. It is a temperament that truly transcends appearance.

Master!

Extremely expert!

You have to flatter yourself!

Xiongba's eyes flashed and he started to drink.

If you want to please the other person, you have to do what they like.

It seems that this person doesn't like to make noise, and blind flattery will only arouse disgust. It is better to think of other ways to get closer.

When the great witch saw that the male tyrant had calmed down, she stopped paying attention and drank the wine in the bowl. Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly raised her thick eyebrows and looked outside.

After a full ten breaths, Xiongba's expression also changed and he looked outside, but it was already too late.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures suddenly appeared from all directions and surrounded the tea shop.

Ordinary people without martial arts skills could not react for a moment, but those people in the world changed their colors when faced with the dragnet.

The next moment, a man in brocade robes with a long, narrow face and no anger or authority walked out and said loudly: "The important criminals are captured at the six gates. Don't panic while others are waiting!"

"It's a six-door contemporary god-catcher!"

"He turns out to be a God Catcher!"

"It's him, the God Catcher!"

"The God Catcher, it's him!"
