Twilight Boundary

"Hero sticker?"

This name made Hu Ma confused for a moment: "What the hell is this?"

"Hehe, the Iron Gate Yan family is not easy to get along with."

When the old abacus heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You pretended to be a ghost and caught a knife to give away the money to buy your life. Is this a small thing?"

"Now look at it, the Yan family has no intention of giving you any face. They have invited all the people from all over the world to go to the capital of Guazhou. I want to talk to the Hu family, the ghosts of you."

"Since we invite heroes from all over the world, this post is naturally a hero post. Of course, let alone what kind of people we invite, they just want to help the Tiemen Yan family. To be honest, even me, the old man, You can all go and have a meal.”

"..."

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "So many people don't give the Hu family face?"

"No one dares not to give the Hu family face."

Old Abacus said: "But not everyone knows the name of the Hu family that suppresses evil spirits."

"The Ten Surnames have always been unwilling to show up, and have been hiding very deeply, but it is also because the Ten Surnames have been so well hidden. Not to mention the common people and the world, there are many people in the ordinary sect who do not know the existence of the Ten Surnames. "

"Besides, even those who know the name of the Hu family probably know the current embarrassment of the Hu family. If you take the initiative to provoke others, less, but if you provoke others..."

"...I'm afraid they won't be willing to give you face."

"As for the Tiemen Yan family, they have a strong foundation, a great reputation, masters in the arts, spirits from the mountains, and nobles from aristocratic families. How many of them are looking for their face?"

"..."

"Others don't know it, but the Tiemen Yan family knows it. They even sent the ransom money."

Hearing this, Hu Ma laughed and said, "Not only do you dare to protect me, but you also engage in such a situation. How brave you are!"

"That's not just cowardly..."

The old abacus narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Seven generations of officials, a wealthy family. When the emperor was here, it was an iron-clad family. Every government official who came to take office had to visit the Yan family first. Looking around the world, who would dare to look him in the eye? ?”

"The emperor is gone, but we are even more powerful than before. Guazhou has recently had a new leader named Cao Mang, who is known as the King of Iron Thresholds. He has 40,000 to 50,000 troops under his command. It was the three big families in Guazhou who secretly supported him."

"Guazhou is worshiped by the prince, and that is also the incense burned by the Yan family."

"To take a step back, even the officials and servants in the government office are supported by food."

"Do you really think that is Guazhou? It is a small court!"

"To be honest, this means that King Tiejian is just a grass-headed king now and has no courage to ascend the throne and call himself emperor. If he reaches that step and an imperial edict is issued, the ghosts and gods in Guazhou will not obey the order to suppress the Hu family. , Treat Zhenzhen Mansion as nothing!"

"..."

Hu Ma frowned, feeling strange at first, but soon understood.

Today's Zhencong Mansion is unique, with ever-lasting momentum and not subject to the emperor's orders. However, if a new emperor comes out, an imperial edict is issued, the mountains are destroyed, temples are destroyed, and the people return to their homes, Zhencong Mansion will indeed lose its foundation.

This old abacus seems to be talking about Guazhou now, and he seems to be taking this opportunity to give himself a wake-up call.

"This is just official."

Seeing that Hu Ma seemed to have listened, Lao Abacus was very proud, picked up the tea cup that Wu Ya brought to Hu Ma, took a sip, and said: "Besides, in the world of martial arts, the Iron Gate Yan family is not easy to bully. "

"Not to mention the local experts in Guazhou Fucheng, most of whom have contacts with the Yan family and are in debt to others, let's just talk about the big shopkeeper of the Yiming Pavilion, who is also the son-in-law of the Yan family..."

"Don't underestimate this Ming Pavilion. It is as famous as Cao Xin Tang in the north. It is the two major inheritances in the Siming Sect."

"Most of the doctors in the world are involved with him. Earlier, Yi Ming Guan and Cao Xintang had competed for the position of the chief minister of the Si Ming Sect, but Cao Xintang was defeated by others."

"It's also because Cao Xintang can't be a high-level official, so he refuses to be a small-level official under others, which is why he has become like this without being an official. From this, you can also see the fate of this life hall. Are you ready?"

"..."

Hu Ma didn't quite hear it and frowned slightly.

But the old abacus hurriedly said: "Don't underestimate every sect. People in the Siming sect may be less capable of harming others... But don't really think that they are less... But the important thing is, which one of them is not?" You have a wide circle of friends, and you have friends from all walks of life?”

"Now it is the good son-in-law of the Yan family and the head of the Yiming Pavilion who has come forward to invite so many experts in the world!"

"Today's Guazhou can be said to be the busiest time, so you are so lonely, killing people in the past?"

"..."

"well……"

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "Regardless of the family or the world, it is actually the same truth. It is a good thing for everyone to carry the sedan chair. We don't know what you Hu...that noble man of the Hu family thinks. of."

"The birth of Zhenzheng Mansion has brought such great glory. It's time to take this opportunity to make friends with various wealthy families. Why did it become so tense all of a sudden?"

"Look at the other nine surnames, how many of them usually go out on the rivers and lakes? Why are there still eyes and ears everywhere?"

"To put it bluntly, the vassals of vassals are not your vassals. The ten surnames are too far away from the world. They rely on court officials to mediate small matters, but they rely on the support of these wealthy families to gain a foothold!"

"..."

Looking at his thoughtful face, Hu Ma also paused slightly, then laughed and said: "We don't know what the noble man is thinking, and we don't ask. We only know that if we follow this noble man, we will have meat to eat! "

"Now that I have committed a crime, I will kill people honestly and ignore everything else."

"..."

Old Abacus had some reasons to persuade him to turn back. After hearing what he said, he realized that what he had just said was in vain. He sighed and said, "Are you really just thinking about this little thing in front of you?"

"It's good to eat meat, but you also have to look at whether there is a knife in the meat..."

"No one dares to offend the Hu family, but the four officials who suppressed the Hu family have now spread the word. It sounds like a joke."

"I just want to remind you that after arriving in Guazhou, no one may sell you the face of a ghost and a knife. They even say that if something unexplainable happens, you, a ghost and a knife, will die. In Guazhou, it’s not impossible…”

"..."

Hu Ma thought silently for a while, nodded, then thought of something, and said to Lao Baanpan: "Actually, when I came back this time, I wanted to ask my brother about something else, but I didn't expect that we talked about this."

"But that's all. Brother, you have traveled extensively, you have a lot of experience in the world, and you know the rules. This is a business trip in Guazhou. Why don't you do me a favor and come with me for a while? How about it?"

"ah?"

Old Abacus was shocked when he heard this: "I am trying to persuade you to get out of this muddy water, but you want to pull me out?"

"Don't go!"

"..."

Hu Ma didn't say anything else, just said with a smile: "I also said that if you follow our noble family, you will have meat to eat!"

"If you are willing to go, I will give you this number!"

"..."

As he spoke, he gestured with the word "two".

Old Abacus sneered: "Twenty blood food pills, what are they?"

Hu Ma smiled and said nothing, and Lao Baanpan's expression changed a little: "Is it twenty pounds of blood food?"

"Two hundred pounds!"

He almost weighed two thousand pounds, but seeing that the old abacus was not big, Hu Ma dropped another zero and looked at him with a smile.

"my God……"

Old Abacus had a complex expression on his face and pursed his lips, as if he wanted to pull something off, but couldn't find the words to pull him off. In the end, he just suddenly had a stern look on his face and said, "Let us make an agreement first. I will not kill anyone."

"The only ones who are qualified to take action are at least our little knives in Zhen Chong Mansion. How can you be qualified?"

Hu Ma glanced at him and smiled: "I just see that you understand things, so I just want to ask for your advice."

Old Abacus said: "How can I kill him?"

"No."

Hu Ma shook his head and said: "That business is bound to die. It was decided from the moment it refused to be recruited."

"I just want to ask you how to let him die appropriately."

"..."

Such unexpected words made Lao Abacus silent for a moment, took a deep look at Hu Ma, and put down the tea bowl in his hand.

Said: "You have indeed begun to follow the path."

"To be honest, although I was trying to persuade you just now, I actually know that I can't help you. You have already given me the money to buy my life. Although it is only a copper coin, it is equivalent to establishing a rule. And since you have established a rule, then you We can only follow the rules of the world."

"..."

Hu Ma frowned: "The rules of the world?"

Before he gave the copper coin, he had only heard about similar sayings in the world and vented his anger, but he didn't understand it.

"yes."

Old Abacus said: "Before this, you need to understand a truth."

"Whether you are a hunting officer or a reasoning officer, although there is an official name in the title, it is not a real official. Speaking of which, the four officials under the ten surnames are just Jianghu people and just suppress evil spirits. The Hu family seems a little different now that Zhenzheng Mansion is here."

"But in the final analysis, you still have to act according to the rules of the world. Otherwise, even if you kill someone, you won't be able to convince the public."

"When it comes to suppressing the Hu family, if it can't convince the public, frighten everyone, and set rules, then killing people is completely useless."

"..."

"reasonable!"

After hearing what Lao Baanpan said, Hu Ma suddenly perked up and felt that the words came to her heart. It was only after hearing these words that I was sure that Lao Abacus was really thinking about him!

He stood up seriously, bowed to Old Abacus, and said with a smile: "Then I will ask you to teach me."

"We are so good at killing people in the underworld, but now it is the first time that we have received orders from my family to kill people in other places. How can we kill beautifully?"

"..."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

Old Abacus narrowed his eyes with joy as he listened: "Actually, we were planning to help you. After all, we are our brothers. You still insist on giving us these two hundred kilograms of blood food. Look..."

"...Anyway, this blood meal must count, right?"

"..."

Hu Ma also smiled and said: "Of course, don't worry!"

I feel quite magnanimous in my heart: One spit and one nail, of course the blood food I promised you must count. If the blood food I gave you doesn't count, then how will the blood food you owe me count?
