The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 153 What’s the point of trying to seduce someone based on your appearance?

Coupled with the "Flying Knife Skill", even a warrior who simulates the perfection of the Grandmaster Realm is enough to give it a try.

As a result, if the enemy is chosen to be too strong, it will be difficult for Li Changqing to exert his own strength.

If the enemy is chosen to be weaker, it will be difficult for Li Changqing to use his full strength.

But by constantly fighting with another self, the situation is different.

It is precisely because of the mirror image that each other's strengths are completely consistent, and Li Changqing can also more clearly understand his weaknesses in combat.

And because the person he is fighting can be said to be another himself, Li Changqing can better summarize and think about how to fight.

This improvement is far greater than having Huang Xuemei and Yao Yue as his sparring partners.

After thinking about it, Li Changqing did not directly enter the actual combat simulator for a new round of battle. Instead, he called up the replay function of the combat simulator.

Unlike the primary combat simulator.

The mid-level combat simulator also adds a replay function.

The battle just now can be replayed directly in Li Changqing's mind.

And the angle position can be adjusted according to Li Changqing's requirements.

This replay function will not be included in the total time consumed by the actual combat simulator.

Any good student will have a wrong question book, which records the questions he has done wrong.

The playback function of the intermediate combat simulator is undoubtedly a mistake made by Li Changqing.

Through this function, Li Changqing can better summarize his shortcomings by observing his own battle immediately after each battle.

Soon, after watching the previous battle several times and secretly considering several other fighting methods, Li Changqing re-entered the actual combat simulator for a new round of mirror battle.

Japan and China.

As the flying knife in Li Changqing's hand pierced the brow of the black shadow ten feet away.

The originally condensed black shadow dispersed as quickly as clouds of smoke.

When Li Changqing's consciousness exited the battle simulator, system information suddenly popped up in front of Li Changqing.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for improving his "actual combat ability" to the intermediate level. 】

Looking at the information prompt in front of him, Li Changqing slowly exhaled a breath.

With the "true understanding of hundreds of basic martial arts", coupled with Li Changqing's own research and daily sparring with Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei during this period, Li Changqing's combat skills are not comparable to those when he just obtained the system.

After fighting his own mirror image dozens of times in a row, it is a matter of course that his actual combat ability will be improved to the intermediate level.

And through the mirror battles of this intermediate battle simulator and the post-battle review, Li Changqing was able to gain more or less from every battle.

When the effective time of this intermediate simulator ends, Li Changqing's actual combat ability may be improved to advanced or even perfect level.

Martial arts training requires either physical strength, mental strength, or both.

Although using the battle simulator does not consume physical energy, it consumes a lot of mental energy.

And the faster the progress, the higher the consumption will be.

During the battle that lasted for half an hour, Li Changqing's mind was also running at high speed, with little pause.

The principle of haste makes waste is the most obvious.

It is impossible for Li Changqing not to know.

Therefore, after his actual combat ability was improved to the intermediate level, Li Changqing did not continue to fight in the combat simulator. Instead, he gradually cleared his mind while sunbathing.

in the afternoon.

After lunch break.

Looking at Li Changqing who was sitting on a stone bench and sipping tea, Huang Rong glanced at Li Changqing and asked: "Today is the Lantern Festival, why did you choose to open the business today?"

Hearing this, Li Changqing said quietly: "After all, Bai Xiaosheng has been waiting for so long, and I also want to see what good news Bai Xiaosheng can bring for the first time."

After a pause, Li Changqing continued: "And if we open the store today, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise?"

Listening to Li Changqing's words, Yao Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean the person who secretly follows and investigates the Yihua Palace disciples in the city?"

Li Changqing said slowly: "After all, there are many disciples of Yihua Palace in the city now. What if there are one or two who haven't cleaned up the informants?"

When these words came out, Yao Yue and others didn't know what Li Changqing meant.

No one else in Yihua Palace knew about the fact that Yao Yue and Lian Xing lived in Li Changqing's courtyard, only the disciples of Yihua Palace in Hanshan City knew about it.

When Lian Xing was transporting medicine to Hanshan City, some Yihua Palace disciples moved the medicine into Li Changqing's courtyard.

If the person who had been secretly investigating in the city these past few days followed him into the tavern, the only explanation is that this time among the Yihua Palace disciples in Hanshan City, there were also informants who had not been cleaned up.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changqing changed his words and said: "And opening the store today is just a formality. We will close it after we deal with Bai Xiaosheng's matter. After eating early, we can take a walk and watch the lantern festival together in the evening."

After all, it is the Lantern Festival, which is when the annual Lantern Festival is held.

I have been staying in the yard for half a month during this period, and I just happened to take advantage of the lantern festival tonight to stroll around and relax.

Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up when they learned that there was a lantern festival in the city at night.

Huang Xuemei, Yaoyue and Lianxing looked at Li Changqing, thinking that they could participate in the lantern festival with Li Changqing, and the three women also had a little more expectation in their hearts.

When Hai Shi arrived, Li Changqing said hello, Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao followed Li Changqing and walked towards the front yard.

Yao Yue and Huang Xuemei stood up and returned to the courtyard to stand in their respective positions.

As the true energy in the body circulates, the true energy flows out of the two people's bodies quickly.

Taking the situation of the two women into his eyes, how could Lianxing not know what the situation was?

Because "Moving Flowers and Connecting Jade" has reached the level of "reaching the pinnacle", Yao Yue's strength at this time is slightly higher than that of Huang Xuemei.

If it were in the past, if Huang Xuemei wanted to surpass her in strength, it would not be something that could be done in a short time.

But now several people have learned "The First Finger of Qian and Kun" from Li Changqing, and they have the two Qi of Qian and Kun in their bodies.

If Huang Xuemei could figure out a set of practice routes in advance, her own true energy could blend with the two qi of the universe that had been condensed after practicing "The First Finger of the Universe".

By then, the weak power of Huang Xuemei's moves will be resolved.

Coupled with the weirdness of "Tian Yin Palm", who is strong and who is weak is another matter.

Yao Yue also knew this, so she competed with Huang Xuemei to bet on who could be the first to integrate the Qi of Qian and Kun in his body into his own Qi.

However, Lian Xing also started practicing in the hospital at the same time.

Neither Huang Xuemei nor Lian Xing noticed that Yao Yue, who was practicing, suddenly raised her head and glanced at Huang Xuemei across from her. The corners of her mouth suddenly curled up before she closed her eyes again.

At the same time, Huang Xuemei also opened her eyes and glanced at Yao Yue, not knowing whether she felt Yao Yue's obviously malicious gaze.

Seeing that Yao Yue was still immersed in cultivation with her eyes closed, Huang Xuemei slowly closed her eyes.

When Li Changqing and three others entered the tavern, Zhou Yong was wiping the tables and chairs with a coarse cloth.

When he saw Li Changqing and others entering the tavern, Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Hello, shopkeeper."

Facing Zhou Yong's greeting, Li Changqing smiled and nodded.

Then he reached into his arms, took out a bulging red envelope and threw it to Zhou Yong. I had forgotten about the red envelope before New Year's Eve, so I just made up for it this time.

Zhou Yong caught the red envelope. After a moment of looking at the red envelope in his hand, his smile became a little more sincere.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Li Changqing waved his hand to indicate.

A moment later, after Huang Rong had moved out of the stove and warmed Li Changqing's wine, Huang Rong took Xiao Zhao around the tavern and told Xiao Zhao about the situation inside the tavern.

After the two of them walked around, Huang Rong took out a packet of medicinal powder from her arms and placed it on the table.

These are the hidden poisons I learned from Li Changqing before.

After Huang Rong explained all the hidden poisoning methods in detail, Xiao Zhao said with hesitation: "When I open a shop and do business, and there are customers coming to the door, do I have to poison him just because I feel something is wrong?"

Recalling the poisoning method Huang Rong just mentioned and looking at the packets of medicinal powder on the table, Xiao Zhao would have doubted whether the store opened by Li Changqing was a shady store if he hadn't been able to confirm that Li Changqing was not short of money.

Huang Rong responded: "Anyway, we are just taking precautions. If nothing happens, these hidden poisons will not have any impact on those people. What are you afraid of?"

At this time, Li Changqing also nodded and said: "It is essential to be on guard against others. It is always right to be careful. Just listen to Ronger on this point!"

As soon as Li Changqing's voice came out, Xiao Zhao nodded obediently and said: "Xiao Zhao understands."

Seeing that he had been talking for a long time, Xiao Zhao was hesitant, but as soon as Li Changqing opened his mouth, Xiao Zhao immediately agreed.

This scene made Huang Rong couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch Xiao Zhao's cheek.

"If you don't listen to what I say, you should comply with what this guy says without even thinking about it. It's all in vain."

Xiao Zhao did not resist Huang Rong's behavior, but just looked at Huang Rong with a smile.

He looked so good and naive, leaving Huang Rong speechless for a while.

Also while the two women were laughing and playing, a figure slowly walked to the door of the tavern.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Xunhuan?

After entering the tavern, Li Xunhuan first nodded to Zhou Yong with a smile, then raised his head and said to Li Changqing, "Mr. Li, Happy New Year."

Listening to Li Xunhuan's words, Li Changqing nodded and said, "Happy New Year, brother Li."

After signaling to Huang Rong, Huang Rong stood up and walked towards the wine room.

After a while, after finishing a glass of wine, Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Sure enough, compared to the wine from other places, the wine in Mr. Li's shop is more to my liking."

Li Changqing nodded and said, "Sometimes getting used to something is a good thing. It's good if Brother Li likes it."

After a few simple greetings, Li Xunhuan quietly ate garlic peanuts and drank wine.

After three glasses of wine, he took out his throwing knife from his pocket and continued carving wood.

Li Changqing also stopped talking to Li Xunhuan.

The friendship between gentlemen can be as light as water or as strong as wine.

But for now, the relationship between Li Changqing and Li Xunhuan is still as light as water.

If possible, Li Changqing would not want the relationship between the two to reach the point where it would be as strong as wine, which would be unlucky.

While waiting, Li Changqing was surprised that the second guest entering the tavern was not Bai Xiaosheng.

It was Wan Sanqian and Xu Chenggui who had not seen each other for a long time.

Compared to Li Xunhuan, Wan Sanqian and Xu Chenggui's performances were a little more lively.

After Wan Sanqian sat down next to Li Xunhuan, Li Changqing said slowly, "I'm not surprised that Brother Li can come today, but it's beyond my expectation that Boss Wan and Boss Xu can come."

Faced with what Li Changqing said, Wan Sanqian shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid of Shopkeeper Li's laughter. Although Wan has a lot of money, he doesn't have many friends who can talk to him in daily life. It happens that both of them are in Shopkeeper Li's pub. .”

"On this Lantern Festival, naturally I can only come to Shopkeeper Li to ask for a drink and see if I can play mahjong a few more times."

Li Changqing shook his head and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival. I have to accompany someone to watch the lantern festival tonight. I only have an hour to open the store."

"If you want to play mahjong, you have to wait until tomorrow."

Hearing what Li Changqing said, Wan Sanqian was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "That's right. Shopkeeper Li is not like Wan and Brother Li, who is alone. He has a few confidants and two beautiful maids. Where can I stay for the night?"

As he said that, Wan Sanqian glanced at Xiao Zhao next to Li Changqing.

Then he reached into his arms and first threw a red envelope to Huang Rong, and then threw the other red envelope to Xiao Zhao.

“Prosperous New Year.”

After catching the red envelope thrown by Wan Sanqian, Huang Rong, not to mention Xiao Zhao, immediately looked at Li Changqing, as if asking for Li Changqing's opinion.

Seeing this, Li Changqing said quietly: "Remember to say thank you when you take the red envelope."

Hearing this, Huang Rong smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Boss Wan."

After hearing Huang Rong's words, Xiao Zhao also echoed Huang Rong's words.

Wan Sanqian said kindly: "You're welcome."

While talking, Wan Sanqian's eyes glanced at Xiao Zhao again.

I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart: "Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together."

Not to mention Huang Xuemei, the three girls beside Li Changqing, Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

The two maids next to Li Changqing are both very good in appearance.

If it weren't for the constant communication of Wan San Qian News, I would have thought that Li Changqing was interested in collecting beautiful maids.

Thinking back to myself, when I went out during the Lantern Festival, there was not a single maid around me, but an old man.

Thinking of this, Wan Sanqian couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

After scanning Li Changqing's face, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Since Shopkeeper Li has such great medical skills, why don't you let Shopkeeper Li retouch my face? Do you want me to dare to feel the feeling of a beautiful woman taking the initiative to embrace you?"

Just as his thoughts changed, Wan Sanqian sighed again.

"Forget it, everyone has their own love, so what's the point of trying to seduce someone by relying on your face? When Jin Cheng reaches the point where gold and stone open up, that's true love."

After complaining with the intention of saying the grapes were sour because he couldn't eat them, Wan Sanqian turned around and started chatting with Li Xunhuan.

And when more than 3,000 people entered the tavern, the tavern that had seemed a little deserted before suddenly seemed a bit lively.

Li Changqing glanced at the three people in the tavern, and the corners of his mouth curved.

Drinkers are rare these days.

A mature drinker is even more rare.

What's more, one of the drinkers was able to bring more regular customers to Li Changqing one after another, which made Li Changqing very pleasing to the eye.

It wasn't until the wine bottle on Li Changqing's table had been empty for half an hour that two figures slowly walked to the door of the tavern.

Li Changqing raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw Bai Xiaosheng and Qu Wuyi entering the tavern, the smile on Li Changqing's face became a little stronger.
