Chapter 172: I Want to Be Stronger
"Little brother?"
Zhong Wen returned to the Lin Mansion after buying vegetables, and was about to sort out the meridians for Zheng Qiyuan, but found that the shadow of this weak young man had been lost in the room.
Qi'er said that she wanted to go out for a walk alone. Zheng Yueting's tone was a little low, "Don't let me follow." ā
Thinking of her brother's eyes and depressed mood when he said this, Zheng Yueting was a little sad.
"He's alone?" Zhong Wen said thoughtlessly, "The little guy won't be unable to think about it, right?"
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Zheng Yueting's face turned pale: "I'll go find him!"
Shouldn't I be mindful of what I say and do?
Looking at the figure of the green-shirted girl leaving in a hurry, Zhong Wen slapped his head, reflected on himself for a second, and then quickly chased after him.
Zheng Yueting came to the gate of the mansion and met Brother Lin Chao who came in from outside.
"Miss Zheng, are you going out?" Brother Lin Chao's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a smile.
"Well, I'll go find Xiao Qi. Zheng Yueting was not familiar with him, and when she was worried, how could she have the heart to greet him.
"I just saw Brother Zheng go to the west. Brother Lin Chao didn't give up, and said with perseverance, "You are new to the imperial capital, and you are not familiar with life, so I will take you there." ā
"Okay!" Zheng Yueting nodded briskly.
Brother Lin Chao only felt that this beautiful girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, and her temperament was bold and magnificent, which was really likable, and he couldn't help but feel itchy: "Miss Zheng, please come with me." ā
The two of them walked out of the gate of the Lin Mansion one after the other and walked briskly towards the west street.
Along the way, Brother Lin Chao smelled the faint fragrance of the girl wafting behind him, only to feel happy and energetic, and his steps couldn't help but be much brisker.
Miss Zheng is also a disciple of the Floating Flower Palace, I don't know if I can let the eldest sister be a matchmaker for me, if I can get a wife like this, what more can my husband ask for!
He wandered in his mind, and soon began to think about how many children he would have with Zheng Yueting in the future.
However, taking Zheng Yueting to wander around several streets in the west, but he didn't even see Zheng Qiyuan's shadow, Lin Chaoge's face gradually became a little embarrassed, he peeked at Zheng Yueting beside him, and saw that the goddess's face was even more melancholy, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart.
After another street, there was still no trace of Zheng Xiaodi, Brother Lin cleared his throat, and was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but he saw Zheng Yueting's expression suddenly condensed, and the lotus step under her feet moved lightly, turning into an emerald green phantom, and jumping towards the left corner of the street like lightning.
What a speed this is!
Brother Lin Chao only felt that the green shadow in front of him flickered, and he lost the shadow of the goddess, his mouth grew big, and a trace of inferiority suddenly appeared in his heart.
My sister is the palace master of the Floating Flower Palace!
While cheering himself up, he hurried towards the direction where Zheng Yueting left, and near the corner of the street, there was a sudden noise in front of him.
Turning the corner of the street, Zheng Yueting's slender back appeared in front of her.
"Miss Zheng. Brother Lin Chao came to her side in three steps and two steps, only to see the goddess's fair and pretty face flushed, her teeth biting her lip tightly, her hands clenched together, and her beautiful eyes shot angry light.
Looking along her line of sight, what caught Brother Lin Chao's eyes turned out to be Lian Yutang, the second son of the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department.
And Zheng Yueting's baby brother Zheng Qiyuan lay on the ground, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and his chest was stomped on by Lian Yutang's right foot.
He hugged Lian Yutang's right calf tightly and tried to break it open, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the thin arm was like a tree shaker in front of Lian Yutang's thick right leg, and it couldn't play a role.
At this time, Lian Yutang had already changed two guards by his side, and in terms of momentum, it seemed to be stronger than the two who were killed by Zheng Yueting in seconds before.
On the left side of the four stood a young woman in a pink gauze skirt, convex and backward, with a hint of charm in the beauty.
The woman's eyes were full of tears, her lips were pale, her face showed a look of fear, and her plump and delicate body couldn't stop trembling, looking pitiful and helpless.
How can you be everywhere!
Seeing this situation, Brother Lin still doesn't understand, this second son is afraid that he is sick again, and today's Zheng Qiyuan is the same person yesterday, but the situation is a little more miserable.
"You kid, such a garbage cultivator, how dare you do my gossip?" Lian Yutang firmly nailed Zheng Qiyuan to the ground with his right foot, gently patted his pale cheek with a folding fan in his hand, and smiled contemptuously, "Don't you pee and take a picture of how many catties and taels you have?"
Zheng Qiyuan couldn't break free with all his might, so he had to stare at Lian Yutang fiercely with wide eyes, and spit the blood in his mouth into his face with a "phew".
"Stinky boy, look for death!" Lian Yutang's head tilted slightly, easily dodging this sneak attack, and all the mid-folding fans slapped on Zheng Qiyuan's face, drawing a bright blood mark, "I don't know how a waste like you can survive to this day!"
Zheng Yueting was already so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and when she saw her brother being humiliated, where could she bear it, and she was about to step forward to teach Lian Yutang a lesson, but her arm was suddenly pulled by someone.
Since stepping into the heavenly wheel, her perception range has been greatly improved, and she can easily detect the movements of the people around her, and at this time, she was actually approached by someone unknowingly, and she couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly turned her head.
"Zhong Wen. Seeing the lazy smile of the visitor, she breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you stopping me from?"
"You've protected him for so many years. Zhong Wen shook his head, and said seriously, "Didn't you think about knowing what kind of person your brother is?"
Zheng Yueting was stunned when she heard this, and said unconvinced: "No one knows Qi'er better than me." ā
"The people closest to you are not necessarily the ones who know you best. Zhong Wen's expression on his face was serious for only a few seconds, and he returned to a hippie smile, "Besides, even if he kills someone, as long as I am here, I can be revived, what are you afraid of, and observe and observe!"
Zheng Yueting: "......"
If you can save him, do you want to watch him die first?
She was led by Zhong Wen to think a little confused.
"Smack!"
Lian Yutang finished pumping his forehand, and then backhanded a fan, leaving two deep blood marks on Zheng Qiyuan's face: "Stinky boy, do you want to accept it?"
"Dare to rob the people's daughters in public, even if my strength is low, I can't help you. Zheng Qiyuan felt that his cheeks were hot and painful, but he didn't back down in his mouth, "There is always someone who can cure you!"
"To tell you the truth, my father is a soldier in the Shangshu Lian Peerless City, don't say that he just took away this Furong girl for two or three days. Lian Yutang laughed and said, "Even if you want her life, how can you bear me?"
"This Lang Lang Qiankun, is there no royal law?" Zheng Qiyuan's expression was gloomy.
"Silly boy, do you know now, in this imperial capital, I even have Yutang as the king's law. Lian Yutang exerted force under his feet, and the earth wheel cultivation burst out, stepping on Zheng Qiyuan's mouth and spitting blood, "Your strength is so poor, but you are desperately strong, isn't it because you have taken a fancy to this hibiscus girl?"
As he spoke, his lewd eyes swept to the woman in the pink skirt who was trembling on the side and said: "The vision is not bad, but it's a pity that a woman with such a posture is only worthy of a strong person like me, and an ant like you can't do anything except watch my sweetheart lying on my bed and Cheng Huan." ā
"Only, only a person with evil thoughts like you, cough, cough, cough, Zheng Qiyuan felt that the strength in his chest increased dramatically, his bones rattled, and even breathing became extremely difficult, "I believe that in this world, there will be heavenly principles in the end, and people like you will definitely not die well!"
Looking at the stubborn expression on the face of the ant-like weak young man at his feet, Lian Yutang suddenly felt irritable and extremely unhappy, with a faint trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Sister Furong, you, you run quickly!" Zheng Qiyuan used his last strength, hugged Lian Yutang's right leg with both hands, and shouted at the woman in the pink skirt, "Go to the Lin Mansion for help, someone will save you." ā
Zhong Wen listened to the conversation between the two, and was secretly applauding Zheng Qiyuan's backbone, when he suddenly heard the words "Sister Furong", he couldn't cry or laugh, and he played in an instant, and then looked at the beauty in the pink skirt, only to feel extremely awkward, it seemed that it was far less beautiful than just now.
"If you are obsessed, then die. Lian Yutang's right leg shook, easily swinging Zheng Qiyuan's arms, his right hand was raised high, and the fan in his hand turned into a sword, and stabbed him fiercely in the chest.
Am I going to die?
Zheng Qiyuan's heart was peaceful, there was not much sadness and indignation, he slowly closed his eyes and calmly accepted the arrangement of fate.
"Little brother, do you understand?" suddenly came a familiar voice in his ears.
He opened his eyes, only to see that Lian Yutang's fan was about to stab him in the chest, but suddenly stopped, this Lian Ergongzi showed a frightened look on his face, and his body maintained a posture of not stabbing him, and he didn't move.
"Brother Zhong?" he turned his head, and what caught his eye was Zhong Wen's smiling face, "What do you understand?"
"Sister Fleur can't touch it... No, it's to understand the truth of this world. Zhong Wen gently grabbed the clothes on Lian Yutang's shoulder and threw him far away, slamming it on the ground with a "bang".
The two guards were shocked, and they were about to come to the rescue, but they couldn't move their bodies for half a minute, and they couldn't even open their mouths to call for help, only their eyes were rolling around, showing the panic in their hearts.
"Evil prevails over good?" Zheng Qiyuan asked with some uncertainty.
"It's the weak that can't beat the strong. Zhong Wen shook his head, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you don't have enough strength, don't think about doing justice, otherwise you will only end up with the sad end of 'two lines of tears from relatives'." ā
"Brother Zhong, I don't think so. Zheng Qiyuan rarely did not agree with Zhong Wen's point of view, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, people will always meet stronger opponents than themselves in this life, if they don't implement the beliefs in their hearts just because of their lack of strength, what is the difference between them and those who bully the weak and fear the hard, and are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"With such a temperament, you must not be an official. Zhong Wen laughed and gently relieved his muscles and blood, "It's not even suitable to be in charge of a cultivation sect, but it can barely be regarded as a man." ā
"I'm just quick to talk. Zheng Qiyuan's tone was a little low, "With my little strength, what can I do?"
"Originally, I wanted you to abandon martial arts and follow literature and find another way out. Zhong Wen slowly stood up, his eyes were shining, and his figure looked glorious and majestic in the sunlight, "Now I plan to leave the choice to you, and it is up to you to decide." ā
Zheng Qiyuan looked dazed, not understanding what Zhong Wen was talking about.
"I have a powerful elixir that may make you reborn and increase your qualifications. Zhong Wen said word by word, "But you are congenitally deficient, if you take this elixir, most of you will have to explode and die in the end, and your life will return to Huangquan, do you want to gamble?"
"Zhong Wen!" Zheng Yueting listened to it and was shocked.
She guessed that the pill Zhong Wen said was the "I Ching Cleansing Pill" that made her advance to the Heavenly Wheel, and when she thought of the pain she experienced when she took the medicine, she knew that her younger brother, who was congenitally deficient, would probably not be able to survive and die.
"Tingting, trust me. Zhong Wen looked at her eyes seriously, "Your brother is a responsible man, and he should have the right to choose his own life." ā
Zheng Qiyuan tried to get up, came to Zhong Wen with one foot deep and one foot shallow, knelt down with a "poof", kowtowed to him respectfully, and said, "Brother Zhong, I want to become stronger!"
"It's really life-threatening, are you sure?" Zhong Wen touched his stomach, having the illusion of incarnating Coach Anxi.
"I don't want to live my life like this. Zheng Qiyuan knocked again and said sincerely.
"Okay, it's worthy of being a little brother!" Zhong Wen narrowed his eyes, with a strange smile on his face, "I won't touch him if the surname is Lian, and when you become stronger, you can solve it yourself!"
"I will. ā
Zheng Qiyuan showed an extremely determined look on his face.
Antai Province, Qingyang City.
Among the three major chambers of commerce in the Great Qian Empire, the Jingdong Chamber of Commerce has a transcendent status because of its inextricable relationship with the Holy Land, and the supply of goods and sales channels are specially guaranteed.
The branches of the other two major chambers of commerce, the Shengyu Commercial Bank and the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce, are convenient to communicate with all corners of the empire, and once one establishes a stronghold somewhere, the other will definitely follow and not back down.
This kind of relationship is quite similar to Zhong Wen's M and K records in his previous life.
However, there are always exceptions, just as there is only Sheng Yu in Tongfufeng City, and there is no silver ring, in this Qingyang City, the "Silver Ring Commercial Bank" is the only one, and there is no room for other forces to interfere.
At this time, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the Qingyang City Branch of the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce.
The woman is dressed in white, with long hair like a waterfall, a delicate figure, and a thin gauze scarf covering her face, covering her appearance, revealing only a pair of charming and moving eyes.
"Damn little brother, I followed the palace master to the imperial capital to be happy, but I threw all this dirty work to me. The woman murmured and grumbled, and slowly walked through the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
It turned out that this woman was Shangguan Junyi, who had just made a big fuss about the Imperial Void Sect.
According to Zhong Wen and Nangong Ling's plan, after destroying the Xiao family's big help to the Yuxu Sect, she had to "take care" of the business of the Silver Ring Chamber of Commerce along the way.
"This distinguished guest, don't you know what I can do for you?" There are not many customers in the Qingyang branch, and a girl in red respectfully greeted her, although Shangguan Junyi was masked, her bearing was extraordinary, so that the girl did not dare to despise it in the slightest.
"Who is in charge of keeping your spirit crystal tickets here?" Shangguan Junyi never thought that he would ask such a question in his lifetime.
Girl in Red: "...?"
She didn't expect a guest to ask such a question, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "Since, naturally, it is kept by the shopkeeper Fan himself." ā
"Take me to him. Shangguan Junyi's voice was soft, but her tone was unquestionable.
"It's... This..."The girl in red was a little overwhelmed.
"What's wrong?" a strong man saw that something was wrong, and strode up to the girl's side, "Is there a problem?"
"Brother Long, this distinguished guest said that he wanted to see Shopkeeper Fan. When the girl saw the big man, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Guest, if you have any needs, ask Hongluan directly, Shopkeeper Fan rarely asks about the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in person. The big man, who was called "Brother Long" by the girl, looked at Shangguan Junyi directly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"It's a nuisance. Shangguan Junyi sighed, the jade finger was lightly clicked, the big man let out a miserable scream, his eyes were wide open, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, and the whole person slowly fell backwards, and soon lost his breath.
The girl Hongluan screamed, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests.
"Take me to meet Shopkeeper Fan. Shangguan Junyi's beautiful eyes swept towards the girl, "If you don't want to end up with him." ā
"It's... It'sā" The girl walked in front of her, her legs and feet trembling, her slender body shaking, as if the wind was about to fall.
Along the way, many chamber of commerce guards discovered the girl's abnormality, and stepped forward to ask, but Shangguan Junyi pointed a point to the ground and died immediately, and the surrounding guests were already frightened and ran away, and the chamber of commerce was soon empty, leaving only two women, a red and a white, and the two figures were slowly moving forward......
"You are the shopkeeper Fan?" Looking at the white and chubby middle-aged man in front of him, Shangguan Junyi asked softly.
"The girl is...?" Regarding Hongluan's taking a stranger into his room without permission, Shopkeeper Fan was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all.
"I'm here to rob. As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Junyi felt that his discipline as a Lingzun boss had been shattered, and he couldn't fight anymore, "Hand over the Spirit Crystal ticket!"
"Who sent you?" shopkeeper Fan narrowed his eyes and his voice deepened.
Two black figures appeared beside him, each holding a sword in their hands, and their bodies exuded a powerful celestial wheel momentum.
"I don't want to say it a second time. Shangguan Junyi said softly, "Hand over the spirit crystal ticket." ā
"Take it!" Shopkeeper Fan gave an order, and the two Heavenly Wheel masters flashed and pounced towards Shangguan Junyi.
"It's a nuisance. She sighed, stretched out her slender hand again, and tapped it lightly.
"Plop, plop!"
In the stunned eyes of the shopkeeper Fan, the two famous Tianlun masters fell to the ground one after another before they could get close to Shangguan Junyi, motionless, life and death uncertain.
"You... You..."Shopkeeper Fan no longer had the previous calm and calmness, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and his eyes showed fear.
"Can you hand over the spirit crystal ticket?" Shangguan Junyi said lightly.
Shopkeeper Fan took out the key, silently opened the iron box behind him, took out a dozen thick spirit crystal tickets, and respectfully handed them to Shangguan Junyi.
"You're a smart guy. Shangguan Junyi took the spirit crystal ticket, and put it in his arms without looking at it, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "I like to deal with smart people." ā
As she spoke, she turned around, and disappeared from the house.
Hurry up and contact the Xiao family!
Shopkeeper Fan had ruthlessness in his eyes, and immediately made a decision, took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter.
Suddenly, a black vortex the size of a head appeared in front of him, and when he looked at it, the center of the rapidly rotating vortex seemed to be bottomless, revealing endless gloom and mystery.
The vortex became bigger and bigger, and soon sucked the shopkeeper Fan in, and even the belt bones were crushed into pulp, and not even a drop of blood was splashed......
"If it weren't for Fluttershy's ......" Listening to the girl's screams coming from inside the Chamber of Commerce, Shangguan Junyi shook her head helplessly, took out a map from her bosom, and glanced at the markers on it, "Next stop, Yunjin Province, Pingshan City." ā
She took a step lightly with her jade feet, and the fluttering figure in white quickly melted into the sky and earth, and it was difficult to see again.
