"I wonder what General Huo's intention is in inviting this old man here so late at night?"
Huo Jingxuan did not answer Old Man Li's question immediately, but directly threw down a sentence, "I'm sorry!"
He took the first step and fought with Old Man Li.
However, what was surprising was the moves of Huo Jingxuan and Old Man Li.
I can't say they are exactly the same, but they are basically the same.
Huo Jingxuan confirmed his guess and immediately stopped fighting.
Now it was Old Man Li's turn to be confused, because he knew that he and Huo Jingxuan had never met before.
I couldn't help but ask, "It's really strange, have we met before?"
Then he took another careful look at Huo Jingxuan and shook his head, “It shouldn’t be like this!”
Huo Jingxuan directly solved the old man Li's doubts, "Don't guess, the problem should be with my master.
Have you ever met any strange person who taught you a few moves or guided you in martial arts?"
After Huo Jingxuan said this, Old Man Li finally remembered.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!
That happened more than 40 years ago. I was in my early twenties at the time. I encountered bandits while escorting a caravan and got separated from the team.
Just when I thought I was going to die due to excessive blood loss, I met a strange old man.
He saved my life without asking for money or for anything in return.
He just has to nag me, even though he shouldn't. He's such a chatterbox!
Once we start talking, there's no end to it.
My ears were almost callused from his nagging. I guess he felt embarrassed, so he taught me a few tricks before leaving.
You know what, these seem like ordinary and inconspicuous moves.
After practicing for a long time, my martial arts skills have improved a lot without me noticing.
It is because of this that I can support my family and find a wife.”
Now Huo Jingxuan was certain that the strange old man that Old Man Li mentioned was undoubtedly his master.
If you think about it carefully, it's really difficult for him.
Forty years ago, his master was only twenty years old.
She is still a child, but she has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the dead bald donkey and him.
He didn't even need to think about it to know what his master had complained about.
It's nothing more than complaining about how difficult he and that bald guy are to lead and teach!
While Huo Jingxuan was daydreaming, Old Man Li was sighing to himself.
"If I had known that those few insignificant moves were so powerful, I wouldn't have bothered with that weird old man.
Come to think of it, he's probably been dead for many years now.
No, I will buy some incense, candles and paper money tomorrow, and worship him after dark!
I don’t know if he received all the paper money I burned for him over the years!”
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Huo Jingxuan was choked by old man Li's words.
He quickly interrupted Old Man Li and muttered, "You don't have to be so polite!
Because, that weird old man you mentioned.
He is still alive and well now!"
“Still alive?
The master is indeed a master, his life span is longer than that of ordinary people!" Old Man Li exclaimed.
Then he hurriedly asked Huo Jingxuan, "General Huo, can you tell me where your master is now?
It would have been fine if I didn't know he was still alive, but now that I know, I must bring gifts and go to visit him in person to thank him!"
This question really stumped Huo Jingxuan, because he didn't know where his weird master was at the moment!
He hurriedly advised Old Man Li, “Old man, it’s not that I don’t tell you.
But my master went out to travel. He has always been elusive and casual.
I don’t know where I am now.”
"That's such a pity!" Old man Li sighed again.
At the same time, he also had a question in his mind: Can a centenarian still be so strong?
Can I still go out and travel?
Still elusive?
Is he really not afraid of any unexpected events, and doesn't even have someone to collect the bodies and prepare for his funeral?
Huo Jingxuan also saw the old man Li's doubts and told him the truth directly.
"My master is sixty years old this year, about the same age as you.
In fact, he is not even as old as you!"
Old man Li was stunned for a moment, then he understood in an instant.
As an expert, you must disguise yourself well when you go out.
If you can let others see through and recognize everything so easily, then how can you be called a master?
Then, Old Man Li had a new question.
He didn't even look at it, he just asked directly.
"General Huo brought me here late at night. It shouldn't be just a simple exchange of moves or a reminiscence, right?"
The answer must be no.
Huo Jingxuan didn't intend to hide it, and said it simply and clearly.
"That's right, Mr. Li.
Today during the day, my subordinates had a few simple exchanges with the two young men.
We found that the two brothers' martial arts were very novel and their fighting styles were unique.
After asking in detail, I found out that they didn't have a master and they learned martial arts from you.
I would like to ask you, are those moves of yours self-created, or learned from others?"
When Old Man Li heard this, he realized that he had met an expert and someone who knew what was good.
Pointing directly at himself, he said, "To be honest, those moves were all figured out by me.
It has also been tested through so many years of practice.
Fighting like this can save energy and save lives.
It can also quickly eliminate the enemy, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
You also know that for us escorts, it is a life-threatening job and we are risking our lives.
Only by saving your life can you make money in the long run."
Huo Jingxuan agreed with this and nodded.
"Well, Mr. Li.
I'll just say what I want to say straight away, without beating around the bush.
I also heard the conversation between your family just now.
I'm really sorry about this, it's an occupational disease.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
From what I hear you say, you are thinking of developing your career in Beijing, right?
Do you think this will work? You don't have to open the escort agency anymore.
I would like to offer you and your two sons a high salary. How about you come to work for me?
The job content is also very simple, just help me train the secret guards."
To be honest, Old Man Li was moved.
However, despite being happy, he was still a little worried.
“Are we up to the job?
I feel that those who can become your subordinates must be masters of various fields, and their abilities must be superior to mine.
My few tricks are effective in dealing with ordinary bandits and petty thieves.
If we really face an expert, I'm afraid I won't be able to match him, and I'll embarrass you again!"
Huo Jingxuan smiled, “Old man, don’t be so modest.
Excessive humility is pride!
I know exactly what you are capable of, and I'm sure you know it better.
I'm not stupid, but I have so much money that I don't know where to spend it.
Since I am willing to invite you, you must have something outstanding.
Now, just give me a straight answer!
Yes or no? "
