Chapter 116: First Arrival in the Provincial City
Hear a system prompt,
The corners of Gu Qingshan's mouth were slightly hooked to reveal a smile,
The Night King's mission is complete,
In fact, some time ago, when he broke through the Qingzhu Federation, Brother Society and other gangs, the achievement task had reached more than 90 percent, and he was just one step away, and today, he has nominally become the leader of the rivers and lakes in Beicang County, holding the dragon head stick.
The task was accomplished.
Immediately, Gu Qingshan checked the system page:
Name: Qingshan Gu
Talent: Martial arts genius
Item: Substitute Golem*1 Martial Arts Simulator
Combat power: 17.5
Achievements: Prison Overlord (Completed) Strongest Undercover (Completed) Night King (Completed)
Note: The New Path to Achievement is being tested......
……
The task has been completed, and the comprehensive combat power has been increased to 17.5, normally speaking, even among the dark strength great martial artists, there are very few people who are his opponents, not to mention, he also has the super prop of the substitute puppet.
However, Gu Qingshan was very interested in the props of the new reward.
Martial Arts Simulator: Special props
This item can be used to deduce the perfect level of teaching of this martial arts according to the martial arts provided by the user, and the user can get a teaching time of less than one hour per day in the simulator by paying the corresponding money.
An instruction manual is also included with the system.
Gu Qingshan figured out the specific role of this martial arts simulator after reading it carefully.
For example, Gu Qingshan is now cultivating the Mo Family Fist, and the martial arts simulator can simulate a person who has cultivated the Mo Family Fist to the point of being supernatural and comes out to teach Gu Qingshan.
To put it bluntly, it's a kryptonite skill,
As long as you are willing to spend money, you can get the guidance of top masters every day, and it is tailor-made to specialize in the martial arts practiced by users.
However, it's a bit expensive.
The higher the level of martial arts, the more money you need to spend.
Gu Qingshan tried Mo Jiaquan,
According to the feedback of the system, one hundred taels of silver will be awarded in one hour.
"It's really dark, does the system need money too?"
Gu Qingshan complained and was about to put away the system,
At this moment, the prompt sound of the system sounded in Gu Qingshan's mind again:
[The current identity of the detection host is: Jianghu Bigwig]
[Open the road to the achievement of one overlord]
[5% completion of current achievements]
[Note: For the achievement of one overlord, the upper limit of increasing combat power is 10 points, and the combat power is increased every 10 percent.] 】
After glancing at the achievement tasks of the next stage, Gu Qingshan accepted the system.
Back in the restaurant,
After Gu Qingshan went to see off the guests for a while, he couldn't wait to go home and start trying the martial arts simulator.
Late at night, in the room.
Gu Qingshan was very arrogant and threw away a thousand taels of silver and put it on the table.
There are no wonderful changes,
It was after Gu Qingshan clicked on recharge that a prompt appeared in the system:
"Detect the money held by the player, meet the recharge conditions, do you recharge?"
The corners of Gu Qingshan's mouth twitched,
I thought about finding a money bank before, and the idea of quietly touching the money inside and recharging it into the system didn't work.
When Gu Qingshan clicked to confirm the recharge,
The silver on the table disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
And Gu Qingshan immediately chose to use one hundred taels to experience the teaching of a famous teacher for an hour every day.
A system prompt sounded in his head:
"Simulation of the environment according to the player's current needs"
The next moment, Gu Qingshan appeared in a martial arts hall.
A tall and thin middle-aged man was looking at Gu Qingshan with a serious face, and said loudly: "Mo Jiaquan, the outer three layers and the inner three layers, you are now about to cultivate the outer three layers to perfection, only the last polish!" ”
While talking,
The Yongnian man put on a starting pose of Mo Jiaquan and said: "Practice brings true knowledge, punch!" ”
Gu Qingshan didn't ink either, and immediately punched.
……
A grandmaster-level famous teacher is not a famous teacher,
In just one hour, all the shortcomings of Gu Qingshan's boxing method were pointed out.
Gu Qingshan studied very seriously,
The opinions of famous teachers are always to the point, and the advance and retreat of the exchange are far less than those of Ajay Aaron.
Ajie and Aaron are both Mingjin martial artists, and they are actually very proficient in Mo Jiaquan, but the disciple and himself will not be the same thing.
The most typical is the hero Guo Jing, who is a great man for the country and the people, his martial arts naturally need not be said, and he is the best in the world, but he really can't teach his apprentices, and his apprentices are all waste.
And the guidance of this grandmaster-level famous teacher can always make Gu Qingshan feel like an initiation, and many things that he can't understand suddenly come to his senses.
It's just that an hour says fast or not, slow or not,
When Gu Qingshan was so drunk,
Suddenly woke up,
When he opened his eyes, his surroundings had changed, and he was still sitting in his room, the candle burning the same as when he entered the simulated space.
He instantly understood,
The time of simulated space is not connected to the outside world.
He was inside for an hour, and the outside world was just that.
"I feel that this one hundred taels of silver is still quite cost-effective!"
Gu Qingshan touched his chin, checked the system, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his combat power had risen to 18 points.
In this hour, it actually rose by 0.5.
However, on second thought,
Gu Qingshan figured it out,
To his current combat effectiveness, it is difficult for ordinary martial arts to improve his combat effectiveness, but it is not completely impossible, after all, ordinary martial arts mainly pay attention to moves and strains.
The outer three layers of Mojiaquan are moves,
He has been practicing with Ajie Aaron for the past two months, and he has already mastered the moves of Mojiaquan, and he has just been guided by a famous teacher for an hour, and he has comprehended some of the things that he did not understand before, and it is normal for the moves of Mojiaquan to have increased.
It's just that this increase is a bit small,
At the beginning, he practiced the eight-step cicada fist with similar move skills, but his combat power increased by 4 points, and in the future, it will be even more difficult to increase his combat power by simply practicing moves again.
"The next step is to break through Mingjin!"
Gu Qingshan showed a smile,
The talent of the martial arts genius has already made him hang, and now there is an additional famous teacher to guide, double plug-in plus krypton gold, the road of martial arts, it is really a horse Pingchuan!
……
After Gu Qingshan served as the president of the Cao Games,
The focus of the Sky Eagle Gang began to focus on grain, horses, and Caoyun.
Gu Qingshan attaches great importance to this matter, which is not only related to the transformation of the Sky Eagle Gang, but also related to his plan to make money, he is really short of money.
He arranged for Long Hao, Mad Dog, Li Xiang, and some other hall masters and bosses in the hall to start going to various counties in Beicang County to take charge of the autumn harvest and taxation, and then, a group of high-level officials such as Wild Boar, Dakoutang, and Li Sheng were responsible for setting up warehouses and renting ships at the wharf.
Because there were also various forces in the counties, Gu Qingshan was worried that it would be affected, and he also lent Abang, Ajie and Along to Mad Dog, and in addition, Yang Kai and other masters with four or five points of combat power were also sent out.
And in Beicang City, relatively speaking, there is no need for any masters,
In today's Beicang City, no one dares to stumble on the Skyhawk Gang, and moreover, the members of the Skyhawk Gang's gang in Beicang City have exceeded 20,000, even if many people are sent to various counties, there are still nearly 10,000 people in the city, and they are not afraid of anything, not to mention that there is an official cover.
It's just that such a big project,
This means that the amount of money burned every day is also an astronomical amount.
Gu Qingshan was really tired looking at those account books every day,
The Skyhawk Gang already owes too much money, and they are still stuffing money into it, and the big bosses behind it are almost unable to support it.
Gu Qingshan originally planned to wait for a while before going to the provincial capital,
had to plan ahead,
For example, today's Eagle Gang's public account can't last too long, if he doesn't withdraw some of the Ma family's money, Gu Qingshan will have to consider mortgaging more of the Eagle Gang's property.
This matter, it is true that he is not to blame for the mistake of planning,
At the beginning, he didn't expect to cooperate with Ma Kangping, and he didn't want to do it so big at once, but the cooperation with Ma Kangping boosted it, and Gu Qingshan directly took down all the grain and horse business in the entire Beicang County, and it was impossible to give up this meat because of lack of funds, so Gu Qingshan mortgaged a number of properties of the Sky Eagle Gang.
After the business is handed over clearly,
Gu Qingshan rushed to the provincial capital non-stop.
There are not many people he brings, there are only a dozen or so people in total, and four or five of them are Mr. Bingbi and lawyers in the gang, who are responsible for negotiating and cooperating with the Ma family.
Atai used to grow up in the provincial capital, and he was very familiar with the provincial city, and he was the most suitable person to accompany Gu Qingshan.
……
It's already cold on the river in September, especially when the river breeze blows, which makes people feel a biting feeling.
In a large passenger ship,
Gu Qingshan sat on a stool, with a pot of carbon fire in front of him, looking at the undulating waves outside through the window, his heart was rarely a little fluctuating.
It's been more than three years since I crossed into this world,
This is the first time out of Cangzhou City.
Even if you live for 20 years, you haven't walked out of Beicang County.
Gu Qingshan lowered the curtain and looked left and right, but didn't see Atai, so he asked a middle-aged scribe on the side, "Mr. Huang, where is Atai?" ”
This Mr. Huang is Mr. Bingbi of the Sky Eagle Gang, who was hired by Gu Qingshan at a high price, and is a talent with a reputation for showing talent, he used to be responsible for taking care of business in a small chamber of commerce, and he is very capable, but the boss of the chamber of commerce committed a crime and was arrested, and Mr. Huang became unemployed.
The ability is indeed very strong, and he has been reused by Gu Qingshan in just half a year, and this time he came to the provincial capital to negotiate with the Ma family, and this Mr. Huang is also the main one.
Mr. Huang put down the book in his hand and raised his head, and said, "I don't know, oh, by the way, President, just after breakfast, I saw that Ah Tai seemed to be blowing the wind on the bow of the boat." ”
After that, Mr. Huang paused for a while and said, "President, have you noticed that Ah Tai has been a little wrong in the past two days, I always feel a little unstable." ”
Gu Qingshan frowned,
He also found the problem.
A few days ago, when he told Atai that he was coming to the provincial capital, Atai behaved very happily, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed.
Atai is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is an age that does not pretend, and all his emotions are directly expressed on his face.
And as these days, getting closer and closer to the provincial capital,
Gu Qingshan also found that there was something wrong with Ah Tai's mood, sometimes he felt very happy, and sometimes he seemed to be very depressed.
"I'll take a look."
Gu Qingshan got up and walked out of the cabin.
This passenger ship is very large, and there are more people on board, but there are not many people after leaving the cabin, after all, it is quite cold, and there are not many people who are willing to stay outside to blow the cold wind.
Gu Qingshan saw Ah Tai sitting in the corner at a glance.
Gu Qingshan walked over slowly, and saw Ah Tai sitting alone in the corner, holding a dagger in his hand and carving a puppet.
This puppet, Gu Qingshan has seen it many times,
Atai often carved this puppet with a dagger when he had nothing to do, but although Atai carved it very seriously, and the carving was very delicate, it was lifelike, but he never carved a human face.
"I've always wanted to ask you, who is this puppet carved in?" Gu Qingshan sat next to Ah Tai and asked.
Atai was silent for a while, and then said, "My mother." ”
"Huh?" Gu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you have a look?" ”
"I can't remember," said Atai, "I died when I was very young, and I only remember that she was very gentle and beautiful, but I was only six years old when she died, and I can't remember it clearly."
My mother is my father's concubine, and she has no status in the house, although she gave birth to me, but my father does not lack sons, so my mother's status has not improved much because of my appearance. ”
Gu Qingshan frowned, he remembered that Atai used to say that he was an orphan, fatherless and motherless, but although he was puzzled, Gu Qingshan did not speak, but listened quietly.
"I remember that my mother was always unhappy, and only occasionally when my father came to visit us, I could see a little smile on my mother's face, but my father came very rarely, and every time he came in a hurry, he didn't want to stay longer," said Atai.
My mother told me that my father is a person who does great things, and he is very busy, so I should be obedient and learn my skills well, so that I can share my father's worries when I grow up in the future, and my father will have time to accompany our mother.
I always remember my mother's words, but she was thin, I didn't grow up, I didn't learn the skills she died, I remember that day it was raining heavily, my father brought a group of people to carry my mother to the burial, and later, my father came to see me less often.
In order not to disappoint my mother, and to prove to my father that I am capable, I went to my master's door and knelt for three days and three nights, and finally moved his old man and accepted me as an apprentice.
Later, I went to boxing, I went to boxing when I was twelve, just to let my father see me and let him know that he was not only my brothers, but also my son, but until I had an accident and was taken to Beicang County by Brother Yao for four years, he never came to look for me, he must think I was a waste! ”
Gu Qingshan patted Atai's shoulder and said, "Atai, you are very good, your father has lost his eyes, believe me, you will definitely make great achievements in the future, and you will definitely be many times stronger than your elder brothers!" ”
"Hmm." Atai nodded,
A cool breeze blows, and the river is undulating.
……
Another day of wandering on the river,
In the evening, when it was getting dark,
The ship finally entered a dock.
The first feeling of this pier to Gu Qingshan was that it was big, larger than the two piers in Beicang City combined, and it was also much more lively, and the number of ships coming and going was far from being comparable to the docks in Beicang City.
In addition, what caught Gu Qingshan's attention the most was that
On the docks, many soldiers were patrolling, many in number, and they were all heavily armed, filled with an aura of slaughter.
seemingly
Sure enough, as Ma Kangping said,
Cangzhou has already begun to be in chaos.
On the docks, ever-bright lanterns have been lit everywhere, and those torches for lighting are also beginning to be lit.
Gu Qingshan and his party got off the boat, and walked out with the crowd, many laborers pulling rickshaws were soliciting customers hard, and those small stall vendors were also shouting hard.
In the midst of the crowd,
Gu Qingshan also found that many sneaky people were some pickpockets and liars.
However, when these people saw that Gu Qingshan and his party were all armed with blades and their momentum was not easy to mess with, they all started to look for the next target after just taking a look.
Just as Gu Qingshan and his party walked to a clearing on the dock, several carriages suddenly came over and blocked the way.
A young man who looked to be in his twenties got off the carriage in the middle, his temperament was very elegant, his appearance was quite handsome, with a smile on his face, and he arched his hand: "Is it Gu Qingshan of Beicang County?" ”
Gu Qingshan bowed slightly.
The young man hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Great, Brother Gu, I finally waited for you, I was waiting here yesterday, I'm afraid I will miss it." ”
After that, the young man slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, "Look at my brain, I forgot to report myself." ”
"Ma Wencai of the Ma family in Xiajiuyuan, I am waiting for Brother Gu here on the order of my third uncle, and I have admired the name of Brother Gu for a long time.
Gu Qingshan asked, "Who is your third uncle?" ”
Ma Wencai took out a letter and handed it to Gu Qingshan, and said, "My third uncle is Ma Kangping, the prefect of Beicang, this is my third uncle's letter, Brother Gu has seen it!" ”
Gu Qingshan took the letter and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, it was Ma Kangping's letter, which could be regarded as a token, proving Ma Wencai's identity to Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan subconsciously checked Ma Wencai's personal information:
Character: Ma Wencai
Talents: None
Combat effectiveness: 2
……
A master among ordinary people,
This is Gu Qingshan's evaluation, and then Gu Qingshan checked Ma Wencai's fellow guards, most of them are 1 point, few are 2 points 3 points, 4 points are not, and there is a 5 point.
"Brother Ma!" Gu Qingshan gave up.
Ma Wencai said: "I have seen the portrait of Brother Gu, and I thought that the person on the painting was already handsome, but when I saw it today, I realized that the painter failed to paint Brother Gu's majestic posture. ”
"Brother Ma has won the award," Gu Qingshan said: "I have heard that there are many handsome men in the Jiuyuan Ma family, and when I saw Brother Ma, I realized that this was not a lie." ”
"Oh, Brother Gu has a good reputation," Ma Wencai hurriedly greeted Gu Qingshan and said, "Come on, come on, let's get in the carriage first, talk while walking, I don't know what's going on, this time I see Brother Gu, I have a feeling of meeting at first sight!" ”
"Brother Ma actually feels this way, I thought I was the only one," Gu Qingshan got into the carriage with a smile and said, "Eh, Brother Ma, your name is Ma Wencai?" ”
"Yes, in the name of the Buddha, the word Wencai, is there anything wrong with this?"
"No, I just want to ask if you know Zhu Yingtai?"
"Who is this?"
