"Um?"

This opening immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The two of them had suffered a loss just now, and they had already developed a faint fear in their hearts towards this Young Master Lu. They were afraid that they would not be able to perform their unique skills and would be made things difficult for them. Unexpectedly, someone came out who took the initiative to start a fight, and they were all a little worried.

.

The eldest young man of the Lu family was also startled for a moment, looked at Hu Ma, sneered, and said: "I don't lack money, but I lack capable people."

"It seems like this master has some unique skills, right?"

"..."

Hu Ma deliberately acted upright and said: "Even if you have money in your hand, we came here to earn it based on our ability, and we are not asking for your reward. There is no need for the young master to treat others with such an attitude."

"I don't have much ability, but since I met you, I'm destined to do it. No matter whether it works or not, let's invite the young master to have a cup of tea first!"

"..."

As he said that, he stepped forward, picked up a kettle of boiling water that was simmering, and walked straight to the eldest young master of the Lu family. The housekeeper next to him was immediately worried, and the old man also frowned at Hu Ma.

Looked over.

But Hu Ma didn't say much, just came to him. On the small table next to him, there were two bowls of tea. One bowl was for the eldest young master of the Lu family to drink, and the other bowl was for the chosen one. Now there are still two bowls of tea.

empty.

Hu Ma then picked up the bowl next to the eldest young master of the Lu family, raised his hand to pour the water away, then poured him a full bowl, then turned the spout of the pot and poured a bowl into the empty bowl.

Tengteng picked it up and said to Master Lu: "Please!"

He drank it all in one gulp, put down the cup, and looked at the eldest young master of the Lu family quietly.

The eldest young man of the Lu family looked at the tea bowl in front of him. The hot water in it was still scalding. If he drank it, a layer of skin would fall off his mouth.

They didn't see whether Hu Ma was not afraid of being burned, or the water had already become warm when he picked up the bowl, but this hand was undoubtedly extremely scary.

After a while, he did not serve the tea, but stood up directly and offered his hand to Hu Ma: "This man is very capable."

"Hurry up and take your seat."

"..."

As he spoke, he looked at the housekeeper and said, "It was indeed my fault just now. Those two people are guests when they come to my house. You go and entertain them well, pay for the trip, and also give me a good explanation for my fault."

The housekeeper smiled and agreed. He first brought a chair, asked Hu Ma to sit on it, and then went to make arrangements.

The few remaining people gained some courage after seeing this, and glanced at Hu Ma gratefully. One of them performed the unique skill of throwing a knife, a palm-long thin flying knife, hitting wherever he pointed, but the strength was not as good.

I could only get three points into the wood, but I still stayed.

The other one performed a skill of lightening himself. He climbed onto the roof which was more than ten feet high without any help. He only had to walk to the left with a series of footsteps, but came down from the right.

As for the others, seeing that they had no special skills to show, they could only leave in frustration.

What is noteworthy is a short man. He looks dull and does not carry a weapon. When it was his turn, he was startled for a moment and then walked out on his own initiative.

But because he was the last one, the housekeeper stopped him and said with a smile: "Isn't the stage bright?"

The man smiled and said, "I don't know these things, and I don't carry a knife."

The housekeeper asked curiously: "Then why do you think so?"

The man said honestly: "I don't know anything, and I didn't think about taking these exams. I thought I was just killing bandits."

When the people around him saw him, they really thought that he was another person who had misjudged the situation and brought humiliation to himself. Hu Ma didn't take him to heart at first, but for some reason, after glancing at this man, he didn't take it to heart.

.

But suddenly I felt uneasy again, so I looked at him again and found that this man had a strange temperament.

Looking over for the third time, I was inexplicably surprised.

This man didn't look like he had practiced any moves, nor did he look like he had learned any special skills.

But there was something indescribable about him that made people subconsciously not dare to underestimate him.

No, not only do I not dare to underestimate him, but I think he is very dangerous.

Not only Hu Ma, but Young Master Lu also seemed to have noticed something. He frowned and stared at this man. He had just taught two charlatans a lesson, which had given people great pressure. Facing his gaze, there was no

People were not panicking, but this man just smiled.

With the smiling face, nothing can be seen at all.

On the other hand, Mr. Lu, who was looking at him, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he looked at him. He cleared his throat unnaturally and said:

"Stay here too, he looks like a good man."

"..."

Everyone finally passed this level and felt a little relieved. When the steward saw it, he hurriedly asked people to go to the back, only to see that it was a small courtyard adjacent to the backyard of the tea house, and wine and food had indeed been placed in it.

Not only that, there were two sallow-faced men beside the table, and two or three men in linen shirts and plain knives. I think it was also the young master Lu who had recruited them before. The most surprising thing was that there was a man sitting at the table.

The skinny old man had a monkey squatting on his shoulders.

As soon as Hu Ma came in, the old man looked up, his eyes lit up, he stood up and laughed:

"Little brother, we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but we still met."

"..."

Seeing this old man, Hu Ma was also startled, then calmly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "It turns out that the big job the old man mentioned is also referring to this boss."

The old man smiled and said: "It's hard to find a big job. You just try to find one by looking around."

"But you didn't come when I invited you, but you came here secretly. Could it be that you can't trust me, old man?"

"..."

Hu Ma looked ashamed and said with a wry smile: "I always have little experience in the world, so I wanted to be more cautious, but unexpectedly I took a big detour. Senior, please don't laugh at me."

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Where are your brothers?"

"I've asked them to take the money and go back to their hometown first."

Hu Ma said: "I'm a little greedy. I want to make a big profit and stay here by myself."

Seeing the two of them standing up and joking, everyone at the table looked a little surprised. Mr. Lu also waited for the two of them to finish talking, then looked at the old man with a smile and said: "Master Monkey, this is you again.

Do you know him?"

"good."

The monkey master smiled and said: "I have seen the method brother Zhou used to subdue the drought demon. It was dark and windy at night, and he suppressed it with just one blow."

"At that time, I thought that he might be able to help the eldest young master, and I wanted to invite him over. It's just that my old face doesn't look so down-to-earth, and this little brother can't trust me. But things have not changed, and the two of us are still the same.

I met you at the young master's place."

"..."

"A way to subdue the drought demon?"

Everyone present didn't hear much else, but they were a little surprised when they heard this.

Everyone here has heard of Hanbao, but he always looks for places during the day and sets them on fire, but not at night.

I heard that this guy can move and bite at night, and he is extremely powerful and invulnerable. How can this guy knock this thing down?

For a while, I paid more attention to Hu Ma.

When Hu Ma faced everyone's gaze, she just cupped her hands and looked ashamed.

He was thinking quickly in his heart: "This old beggar calls me Brother Zhou? The little trick he left in Mancang Village earlier has turned out to be of great use..."

"Since we are old acquaintances, it will be more convenient. Let this brother act together with Mr. Monkey!"

As Mr. Lu said this, he looked at the other people present and said, "You are all capable. It is an honor for me, Mr. Lu, to make friends with you. But before drinking, I have some words.

You might as well say it clearly!"

"You all come here to make money, and I, Lu, also spend money to hire people to do things."

"There's no need to gossip too much. The reason why I spend a lot of money to hire people and only hire capable people is because I'm not really trying to suppress bandits."

"But, to get a treasure."

"..."

Everyone present focused their attention on him, and upon hearing the treasure, their hearts moved slightly.

"hehe."

Master Lu said: "Don't be tempted when you hear about the treasure. For our sect, it is a treasure, but if you take it, it may be of no use and may even cause disaster. This is why I can rest assured to ask for your help."

reason."

"However, let's start with the ugly words. I'm not the only one staring at this treasure, and it's a tough one. Without your ability to help me, I don't have much confidence."

"Our Lu family has money, and we are willing to invite a few gentlemen to help us."

"But I also have a few conditions to say up front. After you get the money, you will ask less and do more."
