Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan brandished the eight chopping knives and kept parrying. He didn't make a single cut, and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

This made Shi Tiezhu anxious.

But Jinshan looked for something.

The gossip knife is four feet two long and weighs about eight catties, which is heavier than ordinary waist knives.

Although the beard is fat and strong, it is quite strenuous to wield such a big knife.

This can be seen from the sweat dripping from his forehead.

In comparison, Xiang Nan's Bazhan Dao only weighs about two catties, and it takes no effort to dance. So light and sensitive, both offensive and defensive.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Nan can wait for work at leisure, consuming Hu Xuyong's physical strength.

Now, with Hu Xuyong's physical exertion, his speed, strength, and accuracy of swinging the knife have all declined. And the pace is getting slower and slower than before, and it has become a success or failure.

At this moment, Xiang Nan suddenly combined the two swords to hold Hu Xuyong's Eight Diagrams sword.

Immediately when his arm screamed, the Eight Diagrams Knife came out of his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang.

Hu Xuyong was about to dodge, but Xiang Nan's two eight-cut knives were already on his neck.

"Master Miao, how are you?" Xiang Nan asked.

"Master Ye is very skilled, I'm convinced. The previous things are wiped out, and I won't do anything wrong with you again." Hu Xuyong said hastily.

Hearing this, Xiang Nan withdrew his knife, "Okay, Master Miao is really happy. If that's the case, I offended you today, and I'll treat you to a drink another day."

"No, I should invite you." Hu Xuyong said quickly.

Xiang Nan smiled, and then led the people away.

"Master Ye, I hope you don't tell outsiders about our competition." Hu Xuyong caught up again and said.

"Don't worry, Ye is not a talkative person." Xiang Nan nodded.

...

After they left, Hu Xuyong's younger brother stepped forward and asked, "Boss, just let them go, why didn't you keep them?"

They were afraid that they would not be able to keep Xiang Nan today, so they made double preparations. One is Beard Yong, and the other is Musket. Two muskets, if you hit them, you will die.

"Do you think you can keep it if you stay? If you can't, our brother will be finished today." Hu Xuyong waved his hand and said, "For the one hundred yuan that Niu Baigeng gave, it is unwise to offend such a person .

Besides, we are opening the door to do business, not gangsters, killing or burying. If you really want to kill people, do you think we can escape? "

He decided to go against Xiang Nan after collecting a hundred cattle and plowing a hundred oceans. Now that he has fought against him, although he has never fought before, he is worthy of Niu Baigeng. After all, a hundred yuan is not enough to let him play with his life.

"Then forget it?" The younger brother asked dissatisfied.

"Remember Hun Jianghu, if someone gives us face, we have to give him face." Hu Xuyong waved his hand and said, "This man is very skillful, and he has a sense of proportion in his actions. He is a friend worth making."

The younger brother nodded when he heard it.

...

"Brother Wen, if Hu Xuyong was spared like this, I thought he was going to kill him." Jin Shan also asked Xiang Nandao.

"Forgive others and forgive others. Killing people is not the goal, but gaining a foothold in Macau is the goal." Xiang Nan explained, "It's easy to kill Hu Xuyong, but it's easy for other forces to be wary of us, which is not good for us. Get a foothold in Macau."

To gain a foothold in a new place, in addition to being powerful, one should also be gentle, so that one can be accepted. Otherwise, blindly being tough and blindly killing will arouse the hearts of the local forces to fight against each other.

At that time, no matter how good Xiang Nan can fight, no matter how rich he is, he will lose his footing and be driven out.

Jin Shan listened and nodded, "Brother Wen, you are still the smartest!"

At the beginning in Fushan, he was only tough and didn't know how to be soft, so he was disgusted by all the people in Fushan.

...

After solving Hu Xuyong, the restaurant resumed serving food, the waterman resumed delivering water, and the building material store also brought bricks, mortar, and wood again.

Everything is back to normal.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingquan entrusted the help of his boss with whom he had dealt with before, and invited a few respectable local people in Macau to act as peacemakers together and arrange a wine for Xiang Nan and Niu Baigeng.

"Brother Niu, Mr. Ye, for the sake of our face, we had a misunderstanding before. Let's apologize to each other, and this matter will be over, okay?" said Boss Wang, who opened the firecracker factory.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is actually not an outsider, he is from the Ye family in Fushan." Boss Liu, who opened the Buddha Incense Factory, also said, "Brother Niu, you should have heard of the name of the Ye family in Fushan. "

After hearing this, Niu Baigeng couldn't help but change his face slightly.

Mount Fa is only two hundred miles away from Macau, neither close nor far. As a famous family, the Fushanye family naturally has a reputation far and wide.

Niu Baigeng didn't expect Xiang Nan's status to be so high, and thought he was just an ordinary outsider. How could he have imagined that he was actually from the Fushanha family. If he had known earlier, he would not have offended him.

"How about it, Brother Niu, have a glass of wine with Mr. Ye, let's just forget about the past." Boss Zeng, who runs a match factory, also persuaded.

"Okay, forgive me for not being able to see Mount Tai." Niu Baigeng raised his glass, "Mr. Ye, let me toast you, let's forget about the past."

Before, the Niu family had never fought against Xiang Nan in partnership, so he asked Kung Fu master and local snake Hu Xuyong to come forward, but Hu Xuyong couldn't do anything to Xiang Nan.

If the fight continues, he doesn't know how much money will be spent, let alone whether it will work. In this case, it is better to reconcile.

Otherwise, based on Xiang Nan's skill alone, his life would be in danger. When the time comes, he is really going to die, his beautiful wife and concubines, and all his wealth will belong to others.

"Mr. Niu, I also have something wrong." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This amount of money will shock the villagers." As he said, he pushed a bag of silver.

Niu Baigeng took a rough look and knew that there were almost five hundred oceans in it. It can be regarded as making up for his loss.

"Okay, Mr. Ye is happy. If that's the case, I'll accept it." He nodded and said.

Xiang Nan also toasted, and bumped one with him, which was considered to have exposed the matter.

...

For the next period of time, it was basically peaceful.

Xiang Nan showed his own strength, as well as his gentle figure. Other forces, unless they have deep blood feuds, naturally dare not provoke such a strong man who can defeat a whole family by himself.

This also allowed Xiang Nan to gain a firm foothold in Macau.

In the following time, he mainly focused on the construction of the basement.

Through the unremitting efforts of the workers, four-meter-deep pits were dug in the eight rooms on the first floor, and more than 900 square meters of soil were dug out.

Afterwards, holes were dug, bricks were laid, walls were ground, beams were erected, and ladders were erected, so that the eight underground storage rooms of the villa were not only connected to each other, but also very strong and would not collapse.

Then turn on the lights and prepare candles so that the basement can also be brightly lit.

Finally, the floor is re-laid, the entrance and exit are left, and the whole villa is the same as before.

The huge basement, with a total area of ​​more than 200 square meters, can store 900,000 liters of rice, or about 675 tons.

Calculated on the basis of one kilogram of rice per person per day, 675 tons is enough to feed one person for 1,800 years. So it's good enough.

Of course, Xiang Nan doesn't just store rice. Grease, sugar, bacon, canned food, honey, tea, dry goods, medicinal materials, as well as firewood, coal, candles, kerosene, etc., all have to be stored.

In short, it is necessary to prepare more for the future famine.
