Chapter 230: Helping the Fist
Cui Mansion, southwest, the courtyard where Qin Ziling lived, the east wing.
Qin Ziling took the hot towel handed over by Shao E, wiped his face, and asked, "Old lady, are they all up?" ”
"It's all up, I'm waiting for the young master to have breakfast together." Shao E replied.
"Why are you waiting for me to have breakfast? Didn't I already say it last night, everything is arbitrary, and I don't have a fixed time. Qin Ziling frowned slightly and handed the towel to Shao E.
"The old lady also said it, but the old lady didn't agree, and said that they must wait for you." Shao E put the towel on her face plate and went to get a blue coat for Qin Ziling to put on.
In the cave of Xisheng Mountain, Qin Ziling was a little accustomed to Xia Yan's service, so when he saw Shao E taking the initiative to take the coat and help him put it on, he hesitated, but let her fiddle with it.
Shao E's movements are very gentle, she is beautiful, and her figure is good, although Qin Ziling has nothing to think of her, she still enjoys the feeling of having such a gentle woman by her side.
"Alas, depraved!" Qin Ziling soon discovered the change in his mentality, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Good morning, Young Master Qin!"
As soon as Qin Ziling walked into the main hall, that is, the place where he was eating, he saw more than a dozen men and women, large and small, bowing down to him and greeting him, with a look of awe in their eyes, only his grandfather and mother Cui Shi were sitting in their seats and did not move.
"Good morning, uncle, aunt! Good morning cousins! Let's all sit down and eat together. Seeing this, Qin Ziling hurriedly returned the salute.
But no one sat down.
"Ziling, you're here, sit on Grandpa's side." At this time, Cui Baihan beckoned to Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling strode forward, greeted Cui Baihan and Cui Shi first, and then sat down next to Cui Baihan.
"Sit down." Cui Baihan saw Qin Ziling sitting down, and then waved his hand at the sons and daughters.
Then everyone sat down.
"Grandpa, it's all my own family, there's no need to see outsiders like this." Seeing this, Qin Ziling said a little unnaturally.
"This star really wants to retire"
"Etiquette must not be wasted! Grandpa is gone, and in the future, these unsuccessful children, daughters and grandchildren will be entrusted to you, and you will be their master! Their lord! Cui Baihan said with a serious face.
"Early in the morning, grandfather don't say such unlucky things. You're only 64 years old this year, and it's only because of a problem with your practice and the hard work you've endured over the years that you've fallen ill. I have a lot of good things to keep up, as long as my grandfather takes some every day and recuperates well, he will definitely be able to ......," Qin Ziling hurriedly said.
"There's no need! Ever since your grandmother left, I've lived like the walking dead. Now I can see that evil woman getting punishment and retribution, you are so promising, Kuncheng and they also have someone to entrust, I am very happy.
The only thing I'm worried about now is that the evil woman's father and the Hou family will definitely not give up, and will definitely come to seek revenge. As long as I can see you and your grandfather take care of this, I can go and reunite with your grandmother, who have been alone underground for so long. Cui Baihan didn't wait for Qin Ziling to finish speaking, and had already waved his hand to interrupt.
Cui Bohan's other two concubines also couldn't stand the humiliation, and they also passed away a few years ago.
Qin Ziling's lips moved, wanting to persuade, but found that there was no way to persuade him.
A man's heart is dead in this world, so what's the point of barely letting him live?
"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely not treat my uncle and them badly." Qin Ziling suppressed the sadness surging in his heart and said with a serious face.
"Good, good! With your words, I am really relieved. But you don't have to exalt them too much, I don't think they're any good stuff, you can give them a bite to eat in the future, so that they don't end up living on the streets and being bullied. Cui Baihan said in tears.
"Uncles, aunts, and aunts are past the age of cultivation, and it is basically impossible to have hope. A few cousins and cousins are still teenagers, even if the talent is poor, with my current family background, I can always train a few martial artists from them, and it will be easy to have the ability to protect and support themselves in the future. As for whether they can go further, it's up to them. Qin Ziling said truthfully.
"Good enough, good enough! If it weren't for the fact that he still couldn't let go of the Wen family and the Hou family to seek revenge, with your words, my grandfather could go away with a smile now. Cui Baihan said excitedly.
And Cui Kuncheng and the others were even more excited when they heard this, and tears rolled in their eyes.
They have lived a worse life outside the city than Cui Yun over the years. Cui Yun at least had maids and servants to call back then, and they could be regarded as the wives of wealthy families, they were driven out of the city, and they were begging for a living in the fields all these years.
Cui Kuncheng originally inherited Cui Bohan's handsome appearance, but now he has rough and dark skin, how can he have the temperament of a child of a big family, he is simply a simple farmer.
Now that Qin Ziling said that he wanted to cultivate a few martial artists among their children, how could this not make them excited?
"Dad, don't say these unlucky words, let's eat, the children are probably hungry!" Cui Yun secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said.
"Okay, eat, eat." Cui Baihan nodded with a smile.
Not long after the family had eaten, Cui Boming and Cui Shanhe's ancestors and grandchildren came together.
"Wen Chuansen and his wife and Cui Kunhu have rushed from Taihuang Mountain to the county seat!" Cui Boming said in a deep voice.
"Are you going to fight?" Qin Ziling gently turned the teacup in his hand and asked.
"Not so fast, the Cui family, the Hou family, and the Biyun Sect, these are the three top forces in Qinghe County, and they are too involved. If you really want to fight, you must build momentum first, probe the attitude of several other big forces, and you have to find help to suppress the formation.
In order to avoid wartime, one side will bully more and less, or lose and do not admit it, or lose and become angry and angry, regardless of the agreement. Therefore, it will take at least seven or eight days for this to happen. Cui Boming replied.
"My grandfather and cousin came to me early in the morning, and I thought there was going to be a war soon!" Qin Ziling smiled when he heard this.
"Ziling, are you really sure?" Cui Boming saw that Qin Ziling's face was relaxed and freehand, without the slightest tension before the big war, and he couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses.
"I said I'm sure, does my grandfather believe it?" Qin Ziling asked instead of answering.
Cui Boming was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said, "Why don't you have a look with Shanhe?" ”
"So far, no matter what the result of the competition is, it is all ready to be sent, but it will affect the mood, so there is no need to do more." Qin Ziling waved his hand.
"No wonder you have such cultivation and means at a young age, with your mentality, I am not as good as you." Cui Boming said with a slight emotion.
Qin Ziling smiled.
The strength is there, can my mentality not be strong?
Of course, Qin Ziling definitely can't say this.
"Since you're not going to talk to me, you don't have to worry about other things, and leave it to me and grandpa." Seeing this, Cui Shanhe took over and said.
"I'm a nobody, I don't have a clue about other things, so I'll just leave it to you. However, my grandmother's name is correct, and there is still a matter of moving the grave, so I must do it in a beautiful way, so I have to bother my grandfather and cousin to come forward to help. Qin Ziling said.
"That's nature." Cui Boming and Cui Shanhe both replied with straight faces.
Next, Qin Ziling ordered Shao E to invite Cui Baihan and his mother Cui Yun to discuss the matter of justifying his grandmother's scenery and moving the grave.
At that time, Su Bingqian was demoted to a concubine, not only died of depression, but also was not allowed to enter the Cui family's cemetery after her death.
This matter must be done while Cui Baihan is still alive to end his old man's heart.
……
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.
In the past seven days, many wine shops and teahouses in Qinghe County have been talking about Cui Baihan's divorce of his wife, correcting the name of his dead wife, moving the grave and burying the grave, and the Cui family and Elder Biyun Zongwen and the Hou family made an appointment to fight, and settled the grievances in one battle.
The Cui family has been low-key for many years, and all of a sudden it became so high-profile, causing a big sensation.
Some people gave a thumbs up to Cui Boming's ancestors and grandchildren, thinking that they were not afraid of being strong, and dared to stand up for Cui Bohan and shake the two major forces of the Hou family and the Biyun Sect Elder Wen line.
There are more people who think that the Cui family is not self-sufficient, willful, and broken, and I am afraid that after this battle, it will completely decline.
After all, the strength of the two sides is there, and the Hou family now has two great martial artists in the late stage of bone refining, as well as nine great martial artists in the early and middle stages of bone refining. Elder Wen Chuansen of the Biyun Sect was a great qi refiner in the late stage of the True Yuan Dynasty, and although his wife Hou Hanxue was far less famous than Wen Chuansen, she was actually an elder of the Biyun Sect and a great qi refiner in the middle of the True Yuan Dynasty.
Back then, Hou Hanxue worshiped under the Biyun Sect, and was considered the best among the younger generation, but at that time, Wen Chuansen was not as good as her, but he came out on top and became a great qi refiner in the late stage of the True Yuan Dynasty.
The two of them also have some powerful disciples under their names.
Moreover, in addition to so many strong people in these two families, Cui Kunhu has now clearly made it clear that he wants to seek justice for his mother, so that there is another great qi refiner in the middle of the True Yuan Dynasty on the side of the Hou and Wen families.
On the Cui family's side, since Cui Boming's eldest son and second son passed away one after another, there is only Cui Boming left as a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, and there are only six great martial artists in the early and middle stages of bone refining combined, and the strength of the top level is very different.
And this time the competition is precisely the top-level competition!
As for Qin Ziling, who came out of the Cui family, no one was rumoring it outside.
First, Qin Ziling didn't want to be high-profile, so the Cui family could only deal with it in a low-key manner and try to help block the news.
Second, Qin Ziling, a little-known young man, not only beat Wen Hongfeng into a pig's head, but also abolished her cultivation, which is a shame and shame for the Hou family and the Wen family, and then Wen Chuansen is also ready to bully the small and personally suppress Qin Ziling, a junior, if this news spreads, it will be a shame for the Hou family and the Wen family.
Therefore, the Hou family and the Wen family also blocked the news about Qin Ziling intentionally or unintentionally.
As a result, Qin Ziling, the driving force of this incident and the most critical figure, was dramatically not mentioned.
……
Cui Mansion, Hall.
Together.
The people of the Cui family, including Qin Ziling, sat in a row on the left, and the people who were invited to help the fist or press the formation sat in a row on the right.
On the Cui family's side, sitting at the top was Cui Boming, followed by Cui Shanhe, the head of the family, and then Qin Ziling and the two clan elders who were in the middle stage of bone refining and were past their primes.
On the opposite side, sitting at the top is the Golden Sword Sect Taishang Elder Jian Bailou, and at the bottom of the Jianbai Building is a big man with broad shoulders and a thick back, a majestic figure, thick eyebrows, and an age that looks to be about forty years old.
Although this big man is only in his forties, his cultivation is already in the late stage of bone refining, and his momentum is extremely powerful, just sitting there gives people a feeling of majestic mountains and unshakable.
Below this big man, sitting is Xiao Jing, the county guard of Qinghe County. Below Xiao Jing is a middle-aged man with a goatee, a delicate face, and an elegant temperament, this man is a cultivator in the middle stage of bone refining.
The eyes of the four people on the right who helped the fist suppress the formation were all focused on Qin Ziling.
Jian Bailou and Xiao Jing's gazes were very subtle.
Jian Bailou didn't know that Qin Ziling was also there before he came, he and Cui Boming had a friendship when they were young, and the situation of the two families was relatively similar, so the last time in the land of the dragon vein, the two families naturally joined forces.
This time, Cui Boming personally went to Jin Jianshan to invite him to help suppress the formation for the Cui family, and at that time he also said that the other party was powerful, worried that they would bully people and play tricks, and he needed to go to the formation as a kendo master, but Jian Bailou was only faceless, so he agreed to come.
As a result, Jian Bailou never expected that there was still his disciple Qin Ziling on the Cui family's side.
Thinking of Qin Ziling's killing of three underworld envoys in a row that night, especially when he killed the second underworld envoy, it was like chopping vegetables, Jian Bailou felt very strange in his heart.
With Qin Ziling here, Cui Boming is still worried about a fart, he should worry about the Wen family and the Hou family!
Xiao Jing knew that Qin Ziling was involved in this trip.
Because Cui Shanhe mentioned Qin Ziling when he went to invite her, Xiao Jing came without saying a word.
Just looking at Qin Ziling's unfamiliar posture and thinking of his methods, Xiao Jing wanted to laugh again and began to mourn for the Wen family and the Hou family early.
How much I want to find death, I actually make an appointment with her eldest brother!
The big man and the elegant man were purely surprised that Qin Ziling was sitting on top of the two clan elders of the Cui family at such a young age!
"Ziling, you are a newcomer, let me introduce you." Cui Boming said at the right time, "This is the Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect, Jian Bailou, if he hadn't been injured by the Demon Sect's sneak attack twenty-one years ago, he would have been a generation of Grandmaster by now. Brother Jian, this is Qin Ziling, the grandson of my brother Bai Han. The cause of this incident also has something to do with him, and he is the real main force in this fight. ”
"It turned out to be a sword senior, and the younger generation is a long-admired name, like thunder!" Qin Ziling hurriedly got up and bowed to the end at Jian Bailou.
"It turned out to be Qin Xiaoyou, the future life is terrifying!" Jian Bailou watched Qin Ziling bow to the end, pretending to be pretending, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly stroked his beard.
"This is Guo Weijie, the chief disciple of the Zhen Sect Master of the Flying Star Sect, and he is a close friend of your late uncle." Then Cui Boming introduced the big man sitting at the bottom of Jianbai Building.
When Qin Ziling heard that the big man in front of him was actually the eldest disciple of Donnie Yen, the three great martial arts masters of Xiyun Prefecture, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed.
"This is Xiao Jing, the county guard of Fangqi County, and the Xiao family has some relationship with my Cui family." Cui Boming continued to introduce.
Because there are outsiders, the relationship between Qin Ziling and Xiao Jing must not be exposed.
"I've heard of Xiao Junshou's name for a long time, and now when I see it, it's really beautiful!" Qin Ziling arched his hand.
Guo Weijie couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Qin Ziling seeing the beautiful woman's obviously weak-legged posture, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes.
And Xiao Jing naturally pretended to return the gift, and secretly glanced at him in private.
"This is Master Ma Zhangbingma, a scholar in Xiyun Prefecture, and a colleague and friend of your late second uncle in the state city."
"Thank you, Lord Ma, for being invited!" Qin Ziling bowed.
"Qin Xian's nephew is polite, your second uncle and I were like brothers back then, the Cui family has something to do, and we have been here since then." Ma Zhangbing replied.
After introducing both sides, everyone bowed and sat down again.
"In this competition, we agreed to fight five rounds. I, Shanhe, and Ziling are definitely going to fight, and the rest depends on the battle situation. If the battle situation is unfavorable to our side, I am afraid that I will have to trouble Xiao Junshou to fight on behalf of my Cui family. Although these two clan brothers of mine have the mid-stage realm of bone refining, the foundation they laid back then is average, and now they are old and old, and their combat power is definitely not as good as Xiao Junshou. Cui Shanhe arched his hand at Xiao Jing.
"It is incumbent on the younger generation!" Xiao Jing arched his hand with a straight face, but pouted disapprerovingly in his heart.
With my eldest brother here, I can sweep alone, where do you need me to make a move!
Seeing that Xiao Jing agreed without thinking, Jian Bailou glanced at Xiao Jing and Qin Ziling thoughtfully, while Guo Weijie and Ma Zhangbing both showed a hint of surprise on their faces, and Cui Boming's eyes suddenly became a little different.
The outside world says that the Cui family has fallen, but the Cui family is still not simple.
Cui Shanhe is already a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining, with a solid foundation, in the prime of life, and his strength is comparable to that of an ordinary great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining. Although this Qin Ziling can't see the depth, but looking at the posture that Cui Boming attaches importance to, I am afraid that his strength will not be inferior to Cui Shanhe, the key is to be young!
Now looking at Xiao Jing's posture, she is the only one who is the head of the Cui family, so that the Cui family has Fangqi County as the rear.
On the surface, the Cui family has little chance of winning this battle, but if the Cui family really wins, there are so many rising stars, I am afraid that the Cui family will take advantage of the situation!
Next, Cui Boming said some more words, and at the end of the day, everyone set off for the Dong family's martial arts arena outside the East City.
In this competition, as the middleman, it is the head of the Dong family, one of the four major families in Qinghe County, and the county guard of Qinghe County, Dong Batian.
The Dong family's martial arts arena located outside the eastern city covers an area of 100 acres and is surrounded by blue brick and stone walls.
When the group arrived, it was heavily guarded outside, and no one was allowed to approach it.
Dong Batian is a person as his name suggests, with a majestic figure, a full beard, and an extremely powerful and domineering look.
Dong Batian, as the intermediary who presided over justice, invited the head of the Han family in Qinghe County, as well as several other relatively large forces to watch the battle and witness.
When these people saw Cui Boming and his party coming, they all got up and greeted each other.
Only the people of the Hou family and the Wen family did not move.
