"Oh?" Li Hao spread his hands curiously and said, "Please speak." ”

Long Sihai talked about the interests of the Jianghu forces and the government, and Li Hao finally understood after listening to it, in fact, in ancient times, although these gangs also did some things to collect protection fees, they did not collect much protection fees, and they did collect money to do things to ensure the safety of one party, so wherever there are these Jianghu forces, the public security will be better.

Although the government is powerful, it is still better at maintaining public order, so the government has formed a semi-cooperative relationship with these Jianghu forces.

It sounds a bit like the gangsters and the government's actions in the Hong Kong version of the movie, but there is an essential difference, the Tang Dynasty officials are more clear, Long Sihai and they used money to bribe Changle Jinglu Shou and Quanzhou Assassin History, but they were all refused, so they have not gone to give gifts so far, and the government's attitude towards them is still the same, which also shows how disciplined the people of Datang are.

In fact, the government still has some binding force on these gangs, but it will not ban them, after all, there were too many gangs in ancient times, such as the Four Seas Gang and the Changle Gang, in the past, these two gangs had more than 700 people, and there were more people than the government's errands, if the government wanted to ban them, it must send the army, but the army needed to play the court, and there would be casualties, so as long as they did not provoke public resentment, the government generally turned a blind eye, these gangs knew the bottom line of the government, It doesn't usually mess around.

At the same time, Li Hao also learned that the main economic income of the Sihai Gang does not depend on collecting protection fees, they have their own industries and businesses, and Long Sihai also plans to buy ships and wharves in the harbor to prepare to operate a shipping business.

This can be in Li Hao's arms, when he arrived at the Sihai Gang, after taking Situ Long's bones, Situ Feng was ready to leave, and Long Sihai was ready to feast Li Hao, Li Hao asked Situ Feng not to leave first, and to participate in the banquet together, everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, drink a drink together, and any hatred and resentment will fade.

For Li Hao's invitation, Situ Feng did not refuse, and Long Sihai couldn't say anything, so he went to Quanzhou's largest Chunfeng Pavilion Restaurant to book a large private room, and a total of eight people participated in the banquet, Long Sihai, Sanlong Envoy, Li Hao, Zhu Ruihuan, Chen Song, and Situ Feng.

Because Long Sihai admired the heroic deeds of King Qiongnan very much, and Li Hao claimed to be the commander of King Qiongnan's personal guard, he asked about some of the heroic deeds of King Qiongnan during the banquet, although Li Hao wanted to talk to him about business, but for the sake of face, he still took out some of the wars of his year, what he was best at was telling stories, and they listened to Long Sihai very excitedly, Long Sihai admired King Qiongnan more and more in his heart, and Zhu Ruihuan kept snickering, this group of people admired King Qiongnan, but they didn't know that the true God was in front of them.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Hao found an opportunity and began to cut to the chase, saying: "Dragon Gang Master, you said before that you are going to operate maritime trade?" ”

Long Sihai nodded: "Yes, does Li Shaoxia have any advice?" ”

"Don't dare to advise." Li Hao smiled lightly, "Coincidentally, King Qiongnan also plans to operate maritime trade, but his maritime trade is relatively large, I don't know if you are interested in participating?" ”

"Oh? Seriously? Long Sihai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "If King Qiongnan can afford Long, how can Long have a reason to excuse himself." ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "What King Qiongnan plans to operate is international maritime trade, the route is relatively far, and he wants to trade with other countries, those ships are all very large ships, the kind that is more than ten zhang long, just like the ship we docked in the port." ”

"It turns out that the ship is actually King Qiongnan's!" Long Sihai said excitedly when he heard this, "I'll just say, when I saw that ship, I was really surprised, King Qiongnan is really a big deal, and this kind of big ship should be used for ocean voyages." ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "That's still the smallest one, if you want to participate, let's talk about cooperation now." ”

Long Sihai immediately said excitedly: "King Meng Qiongnan can afford it, Long has an idea, Long wants to borrow King Qiongnan's ship, send someone to bring goods with King Qiongnan's fleet to sail for trade, and the profit will be fifty percent of King Qiongnan, how about it?" ”

"Fifty percent is too much." Li Hao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Thirty percent is enough, everyone is mutually beneficial, and this can be a win-win situation." ”

Long Sihai asked: "Can Li Shaoxia call the shots in this matter?" ”

Li Hao said: "King Qiongnan has put this matter to me with full responsibility, King Qiongnan has a noble heart, how can he worry about these things." ”

"Yes, yes." Long Sihai nodded again and again.

Zhu Ruihuan on the side listened to Li Hao's shameless words, and kept rolling his eyes there, hehe, he was high-minded, and he didn't know who was asking for money.

Li Hao then said: "King Qiongnan trades with other countries, saying that it is trade, in fact, the main purpose is to declare prestige to foreign countries, so that all countries in the world are in awe of my Datang and know that my Datang has strong national strength, so he needs capable manpower, what about you, during this period, absorb some more young gangs, and hand them over to King Qiongnan to send people to practice for a few months, which can come in handy when the time comes." ”

Long Sihai patted his chest: "It's a trivial matter, it's wrapped up in Long." ”

Li Hao is very satisfied with Long Sihai's extreme cooperation, alas, the celebrity effect is good, and things are smooth.

At the end of the banquet, it was getting late and the city gate was closed, Li Hao and his people lived in the helm of the Sihai Gang, and Situ Feng and Li Hao lived in the same courtyard.

The moonlight is good tonight, Li Hao walked out of the room, a gust of evening breeze blew, very refreshing, suddenly heard the sound of whirring knives in the evening breeze, Li Hao turned his head to look, only to see Situ Feng practicing knives under the moon.

Li Hao walked over slowly, didn't bother him, just watched quietly, Situ Feng didn't stop, continued to practice, about half an hour later, Situ Feng stopped, turned his head to look at Li Hao, and said, "Don't look at it, you can't understand my sword technique." ”

Li Hao shook his head and smiled lightly: "No, in the world, no one can understand this sword technique better than me." ”

Situ Feng frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Then tell me, how is my sword technique?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Your sword technique, at least eight years of hard practice, the foundation is very solid, and the fire is also very pure, but unfortunately, you are constrained by your body, and the speed and strength of the knife can't keep up, otherwise, you can definitely become a first-class master." ”

Situ Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, his sword skills have been criticized by many people, Li Hao is the only one who gives a correct comment, that's right, what he lacks now is strength and speed, so he is practicing hard, I believe that in less than three years, he will be able to go further.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Hao suddenly said, "Are you interested in worshipping me as a teacher?" ”

Situ Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I'm not interested." ”

Li Hao smiled lightly: "If you practice the sword like this and don't practice, even if you enter the realm of first-class masters, you will eventually stop here, and I ...... It can make you a super-first-class existence. ”

Situ Fenghu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why are you?" ”

Li Hao slowly pulled out his Tang knife and said confidently: "With the knife in my hand, dare to fight with me?" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Situ Feng raised his knife across his chest.

Li Hao said slowly: "From the beginning of the fight, I will count, and when I count to thirty, I will beat you." ”

Situ Feng's eyes narrowed, Li Hao's words were a little arrogant, it was the first time he had met someone who spoke so wildly, when he said to defeat him, when would he defeat him? At least he hasn't faced such an opponent yet.

The two of them moved suddenly, the two knives never touched, they were all flashed by the other party, the moment they staggered, the two quickly turned around, the two knives were separated by a touch, making a crisp sound, the movements of the two were the same, this time Situ Feng was surprised, it turned out that Li Hao's knife technique was the same as his own, no wonder he said before that no one knew this set of knife techniques better than him, it turned out to be true.

Li Hao's knife moved at will, and to put it mildly, he defused Situ Feng's offensive, and then counterattacked as an attack, each knife attacked from an unbelievable direction, directly taking Situ Feng, not only the strength was overwhelming, but the speed was also extremely fast, Situ Feng hurriedly waved the knife to resist, and was beaten back constantly, he could only parry, tired of coping, and couldn't fight back for a while.

Li Hao's mouth was constantly counting, and soon he counted to twenty-nine, and when he counted thirty, his knife flicked away Situ Feng's knife with a strange skill, and then his knife pointed at Situ Feng's throat, only an inch away from his throat.

"No more, no less, exactly thirty." Li Hao looked at Situ Feng with a smile.

Situ Feng was not convinced, and shouted: "Do it again!" ”

"Okay." Li Hao withdrew the knife and nodded with a smile, "This time, I'll count to three." ”

Situ Feng frowned when he heard this, and defeated himself in three sounds? He didn't believe it, the two fought again, and Li Hao quickly shouted: "One, two, three!" Almost in a second, he counted to three, and when he was counting, he had already pushed away Situ Feng's knife with the tip of the knife, and Tang Dao pointed at Situ Feng's throat again.

Situ Feng had nothing to say, he finally realized that the gap between the two sides was too big, and it was not on the same level at all.

Li Hao put the knife into the sheath, still smiling and said: "As long as you worship me as a teacher and study hard, when you reach my current age, you will definitely be able to reach my current state." ”

Situ Feng didn't say a word, immediately bowed down, and said respectfully: "Apprentice to meet Master!" Although he was arrogant, Li Hao's strong strength had already convinced him.

Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, it is difficult to find a good master, and it is difficult to find a good apprentice, this Situ Feng is excellent in terms of talent, understanding, and will, and the most rare thing is that he is still a benevolent and filial person, Li Hao is very satisfied.

"Accept you as a new apprentice, as a teacher first teach you a set of internal strength heart method, this internal strength heart method is called mixed yuan gong, and to learn mixed yuan gong, you start with the peiyuan boxing method, you follow me to practice, and at the same time memorize the mantra I read." Li Hao said and began to practice the Peiyuan boxing method, and at the same time recited the mantra lightly, Situ Feng hurriedly practiced with him. Zhu Ruihuan and Chen Song were letting off the wind on the courtyard walls on both sides to prevent anyone from peeking.

Early the next morning, Li Hao left Quanzhou and returned to the ship. When they left, there were three people, but when they came back, there was one more, and the others would inevitably be puzzled, when they learned that Li Hao had accepted an apprentice, everyone was surprised, what kind of person could be taken by Li Hao to accept apprentices, so everyone came to watch.

Situ Feng has a relatively cold temperament, he doesn't talk much, he is watched by everyone, he doesn't say a word, and even his expression hasn't changed, a bit like Chen Song back then, cool.

However, when everyone saw him, there was no novelty, and everything returned to normal, and someone came up and asked, "Lord, is it now?" ”

Li Hao nodded: "Well, but it's not to go back to Qiongnan and go to Liuqiu." ”

When Situ Feng heard the man call Li Hao the prince, he looked at Li Hao suspiciously and asked, "Master, do they call you the prince?" ”

Li Hao grinned and said, "Let me introduce myself to you again, my teacher's surname is Li, my name is Hao, my name is crazy, and I am the king of Qiongnan." ”

"You are King Qiongnan!" Even Situ Feng, who was in a gloomy mood, couldn't help but stare and exclaim.
