When Master Hou returned to his room, he fell into deep thought. It was the memory of his youth.
Master Hou always thought that he was cold-blooded, ruthless and invincible.
Even Lord Long, who was always on the losing side, had too many weaknesses in his heart. Lord Long's weakness was in his character. In Master Hou's opinion, Lord Long was too headstrong and too soft-hearted.
If Zhuge Jiangnan was his military counselor, he would never be easily alienated. He would treat Zhuge Jiangnan like his own family, even if he had to buy people's hearts.
If he were Lord Long, he would never let Zhuge Jiangnan live since he had fallen out with Zhuge Jiangnan, just like how Lord Long let Xiao Bing live. In Master Hou's opinion, Lord Long was a stupid person.
Lord Long's biggest weakness was that he was too arrogant and soft-hearted.
"But, do I have no weakness?" Master Hou leaned on the chair and closed his eyes. There was a bitter smile on his lips.
Master Hou was still single. It was not that he was cold-blooded and had no human feelings. As long as he was human, he would have feelings. It was just that some people hid their feelings deeply, while others hid their feelings lightly. Some people had amazing self-control, while others had weak self-control. The deeper they hid their feelings, the more amazing their self-control was. Once it broke out, it would be more difficult to deal with.
There was a knock on the door. Master Hou came to his senses and looked at the door. He said, "Come in."
His voice was still very warm and amiable, but there was a faint fluctuation in it that was difficult to detect.
At this time, the door opened with a squeak. A girl in a red dress came in. Her skin was as clear as ice and her hair was as smooth as a waterfall. She had a high and smooth nose, long eyelashes and big sparkling eyes. There was a hint of timidity in her pupils.
Since she came in, it proved that Miyamoto Shinji had tested Tang Xueyan. It proved that Tang Xueyan did not know martial arts.
When he saw the girl, Master Hou's body trembled slightly. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He closed his eyes in pain, as if he was trying to restrain something.
The girl looked at Master Hou cautiously and said with some fear, "What … what's wrong with you?"
Master Hou opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He said gently, "Close the door."
"Oh." The girl answered and closed the door, carefully waiting for Master Hou to speak.
Master Hou asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
The girl hurriedly shook her head and snorted.
Master Hou smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry. I'm old enough to be your father. I won't have any improper thoughts. Furthermore, no matter who you were in the past or why you ended up on the streets, as long as you're in my residence, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. As long as you don't want to leave, no one will let you go. "
Tang Xueyan asked in confusion, "Why … why are you so nice to me?"
Master Hou thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "It's fate."
"Oh." Tang Xueyan nodded, but the fear in her eyes did not disappear completely.
Master Hou said, "I don't care who you used to be. You don't have to tell me. Are you willing to live with me?"
Tang Xueyan said weakly, "I don't know who I am. I've lost my memory and I have nowhere to go. As long as you're willing to accept me, I'm willing to do anything. I'm willing to do anything for a servant."
"Remember, you're not a servant." Master Hou said, "My name is Jiang Zihou. You can call me Zihou from now on."
"Zihou … Is that okay?"
Master Hou said, "Only you can call me that in this world."
"Me?"
"Yes, don't worry." Master Hou smiled and said, "Don't worry and stay. You won't be a servant. From today on, you're the little princess of this yard."
Tang Xueyan opened her mouth wide.
Master Hou smiled and said, "Go back and have a rest. When you come out at night, I'll let everyone in the mansion see you and let them know your status here from now on."
Tang Xueyan's eyes were full of confusion, but she could tell that this elder wouldn't hurt her. So she nodded and left carefully. "Oh." Tang Xueyan's eyes were full of confusion.
After Tang Xueyan left, Master Hou slowly stood up and took out a key to open his drawer. He took out a scroll from the drawer and put it on the table. He opened it with a swish. There was a young and graceful girl painted on it. This girl looked very similar to Tang Xueyan!
Master Hou gently placed his hand on the face of the beauty in the scroll. He touched it with his trembling fingers and almost burst into tears. In the end, he could not help but say in a trembling voice, "I can't believe that after so many years, I'll meet a girl who looks so much like you. Is this the cycle of fate …"
Master Hou looked at the scroll and gradually became infatuated.
A few days later, Xiao Bing also began to be discharged from the hospital. Xiao Bing's physical recovery ability was really abnormal now. Even Gao Fei felt it was incredible. Gao Fei once told Xiao Bing that Xiao Bing was not as good as him when it came to killing people. But when it came to physical fitness, he was not as good as Xiao Bing. Even in his life, he had never seen anyone who could reach Xiao Bing's level of physical fitness.
Xiao Bing himself did not understand it very well. In his memory, even when he was at his peak, his body's recovery ability was not as abnormal as it was now. It seemed that this abnormal body's recovery ability began to appear slowly after he lost consciousness in the battle with Zhu Mingyu.
And since that time, Xiao Bing began to find that there seemed to be a kind of power in his body. This power was beyond his control and it was hidden very deeply.
During the days when Xiao Bing was recuperating, Lord Long did not make any moves. As for the outside world, a massive anti-crime campaign was carried out all over the country. It seemed that all the big gangsters had become well-behaved. No one dared to make trouble easily anymore. Some of the gangsters caused trouble outside and even got their boss into trouble. They were all wiped out.
After Xiao Bing came out, the first thing he did was to go to the Hou Mansion to collect information. Walking into the Dragon King's Mansion, Xiao Bing was about to walk into the hall under the guidance of a servant when he saw a graceful girl in a flowery dress. Xiao Bing's eyes could not help but brighten up. What a beautiful and decent girl.
The girl bowed slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Xiao, right? Zihou is waiting for you inside."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Bing was absent-minded for a moment. Then he agreed and followed the servant into the hall. When he saw Jiang Zihou in the hall with a radiant face, he was shocked to realize that the girl just called him Zihou. What was going on? Could it be …
Master Hou laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. Xiao Bing, your physical fitness is really unexpected. Miyamoto, if you were seriously injured, could you recover so quickly?"
Miyamoto Shinji said straightforwardly, "No."
Master Hou sighed with emotion, "Xiao Bing, you are a miracle!"
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't praise me, Master Hou. I don't know what's going on. Oh, by the way, the beauty who just walked out of the hall …"
Master Hou's face was filled with a happy smile, "Oh, her name is Tang Xueyan."
Xiao Bing asked, "She and Master Hou …"
"She will live here until she leaves."
Seeing that Master Hou did not intend to answer directly, Xiao Bing did not continue to ask. But he suddenly realized that Master Hou did not seem to be invincible. Master Hou also had his own feelings. Although Master Hou always had a kind smile on his face, in Xiao Bing's eyes, this Master Hou was no less terrible than Lord Long, because Master Hou's smile was unpredictable. Maybe there was a hidden killing intent in it.
But now … Master Hou was different. It was the same smile, but it made people realize that Master Hou also had seven emotions and six desires.
Xiao Bing did not want to meddle in other people's family affairs. Moreover, they were both men. Master Hou was so old, it was normal for him to find a woman. Even Xiao Bing himself had Yezi.
So Xiao Bing got straight to the point after he sat down, "Master Hou, is there any movement from the Long Family recently? Is there any new move? Although I have intelligence there now, it is not as good as Master Hou's after years of preparation. "
Master Hou said with a smile, "There is no movement from there now. The country is cracking down hard. At least we still have time to prepare this month. I have sent people out to clean up the underground world of the entire Hei Province. Anyone who has problems will be killed. When Lord Long can take action, our Hei Province will be united, and it will not be so easy to take action. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Master Hou is talented and bold. Lord Long won by force, while Master Hou won by strategy. I am really looking forward to the final result."
"Xiao Bing, you are a little modest. Wasn't it because of your help that I was able to hold on until the country cracked down? The Long Family is so powerful that even if you and I join forces, we will not be able to defeat them. But it doesn't matter. That old fox Zhuge is not trusted, and we have suffered losses again and again. Now our chance of winning has increased to at least 40%. Although we are still not as good as him, we may not lose to him if we join forces. "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "You are right. Then I will go back first."
"Well, okay." Master Hou sent Xiao Bing out of the mansion with a smile. When he was about to return, he saw Tang Xueyan coming back with a bouquet of flowers. Master Hou narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled happily, "Do they look good? Fresh flowers? "
Tang Xueyan was not as timid as a few days ago. She jumped in front of Master Hou, raised the bouquet and handed it to him. She smiled happily and said, "Do you think it looks good? Does it smell good? "
Master Hou put his nose close to it and took a breath. He smiled happily and said, "It smells good."
At this time, he felt so happy. If he could live like this every day, it would be worth it even if he had to live a few decades less.
