Chapter XXII
Noon on the second day.
The early autumn sun has become mild.
In a guest room next to the gate of the martial arts.
In the martial arts courtyard, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter, so Duan Qing will come to the guest room every time he delivers food to Yunhong and wait.
"Sister-in-law, the family is okay today. Yun Hong took the rice cage from his sister-in-law's hand and handed the breakfast cage to his sister-in-law.
"It's all right, your eldest brother helped me go to the dock this morning. Duan Qing said softly: "It's just that Xiaohao Xiaomeng has been asking where you have been." β
Yun Hong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
My nephews and nieces are very close to me.
"Okay, there are still a lot of things at home, I'll go first, don't be too tired when you practice boxing and sword, although I don't know much about cultivation, but I understand the principle of combining work and rest. Duan Qing instructed.
Duan Qing never worried that Yun Hong's cultivation would be slack, she knew that Yun Hong was very sensible, and Yun Hong had not let their efforts go to waste all these years.
What she was worried about was that Yun Hong's cultivation was too crazy.
Yun Hong listened to his sister-in-law's words, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you pay attention to safety on the road." β
Duan Qing smiled and nodded.
She then left the guest room with a rice cage and headed home along the street.
Yun Hong watched Duan Qing walk around the corner of the street and disappear from his sight before returning to the Flame Hall with his lunch.
......
Duan Qing walked alone on Yongan Street.
Yong'an Street is far less prosperous than Feng'an Street, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.
A restaurant on the side of the street that looks like an ordinary decoration, the highest on the fourth floor.
The light is dim.
A purple-robed young man stood by the fence, overlooking Feng'an Street, watching Duan Qing walk by, with a faint trace of fiery fire in his eyes.
"Childe, I've investigated it clearly in the past few days. The black-robed old man standing on the side said respectfully: "In this Yunhong family, there is a big brother ......"
Immediately, the black-robed old man explained the situation in Yun Hong's family thoroughly, and even Yun Yuan and Duan Qing knew clearly when they went out and when they came home every day.
"This Yun Hong is hard enough, and his talent is strong enough, if it weren't for the limitations of his family's resources, I'm afraid he would have become the head of the disciples of the Martial Academy. The purple-robed young man nodded slightly.
The purple-robed man is Liu Ming's eldest brother Liu Ran.
At this moment, he no longer had the debauchery he had in front of Liu Ming before.
"Childe, do you want to order someone to send this Qing to the house..... No one can find out," the black-robed old man asked softly, he knew Liu Ran too well.
Childe is not good at anything, he is just a beautiful woman.
Liu Ran's eyes just now explained everything.
"Can't find out? If you really want to do it, will you kill all the people who handle it because of this matter?" Liu Ran's voice was cold.
The black-robed old man bowed his head, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
In his mind, the wife of a dock worker was just a robber, and he robbed it.
"Yun Yuan is nothing, the key is Yun Hong. Liu Ran shook his head and said: "It's not like usual, the six-county competition related to the admission quota of the county academy is about to be held, and the results of the martial arts academy are very important to the performance assessment of the county order and county." β
"Yun Hong, as one of the only three condensing vein disciples in the Martial Academy, is the youngest and is very valued, once Duan Qing has an accident, Yun Hong knows that if he goes up, all parties in the county government will not sit idly by, once the county order is personally ordered, and the nine divisions of the county government come out, do you think those subordinates of yours can hide? Can they not confess you?" Liu Ran said softly.
The black-robed old man was slightly stunned, he didn't think about it so much, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I can't hide it." β
When there are too many people in a place, black and white will be produced, but no matter how strong the black, it will not be able to really withstand the sun's rays.
in Donghe County.
There is no doubt about the control of the government.
Liu Ran watched Duan Qing disappear from his sight, and said with pity: "The taste of this Qing, I really want to taste it, but it's a pity, if it's a robbery, although my Liu family is powerful, I can't cover the sky with one hand in Donghe County, if it's in Zhangshan." β
"Childe, do you mean to give up?" the black-robed old man wondered.
"Haha, such a beautiful woman, I didn't know it in the past, but now I know how can I give up easily?" Liu Ran smiled: "A Yunhong, let him be rampant for a few days, wait first, and he will always find an opportunity." β
The black-robed old man said respectfully: "Yes." β
Liu Ran turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
.....
Sunset.
Youfu covers a wide area.
In a pavilion deep in the mansion, the dΓ©cor is ordinary, but spotless.
The candles had been lit, and there was not a single servant.
"Qian'er, your injuries have just recovered, what's the urgency, why did you come to see me?" The purple-robed middle-aged fat man sat on the chair and looked at You Qian who was standing in front of him suspiciously.
You Qian's body is still bandaged, and his movement is quite inconvenient.
"Father. You Qian bowed slightly, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said, "I heard Uncle Qian say that you sent some spiritual rice and silver tickets to Brother Yun a few days ago?"
This middle-aged fat man in a purple robe is You Qian's father, You Yongchang, who runs many businesses such as restaurants and commercial houses, and is a well-known businessman in Donghe County.
"Brother Yun?" You Yongchang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "You mean Yun Hong?"
"Yes. You Qian nodded.
"Well, I gave some spiritual rice and silver tickets, first, he saved you and you have to show something after all, and secondly, I heard that he has condensed his veins and become a martial artist, and sending some things can be regarded as a friendship. You Yong said: "What, do you have different ideas?"
"Father, I don't think it's enough. You Qian was straightforward.
"Not enough?" You Yongchang frowned: "I have learned about his family background, his brother is a small leader of the dock, and his income is not bad among the commoners, but in order to provide him with cultivation over the years, the family is quite difficult, and the value of a thousand taels of silver I sent is enough." β
"Daddy. You Qian shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that you don't give much, but I don't think it's enough." β
"Why?" You Yongchang frowned.
"Father, Brother Yun and I have been friends for several years and regard each other as brothers, but even if he encounters difficulties at home, he never borrows money from me or anyone in the Martial Academy, and he carries it himself when he encounters big problems. You Qian said: "In his heart, he is actually a very proud person. β
"Proud?" You Yong's eyes moved slightly.
"Yes. You Qian nodded: "Brother Yun was born in poverty, but he has great ambitions, I can see from his actions that becoming an ordinary martial artist is not his pursuit at all, what he asks for is the peak of martial arts." β
"Ambitious?" You Yongchang shook his head and said, "Young and frivolous, but how many can make it happen?"
"In the past few decades, how many civilian disciples have been able to condense veins at the age of fifteen?" You Qian said categorically.
You Yongchang was stunned.
"I've asked Uncle Qian to check it out in the past few days. You Qian asked himself and replied: "Not one, like Senior Brother Xie Shan, he can reach the sixth level of quenching before graduation, which is almost the limit of a civilian disciple, at least in the past thirty years, there is no one better than Brother Yun among the civilian disciples of the Martial Academy." β
"Brother Yun has ambitions, and he has the determination and courage to realize his ambitions. You Qian looked at his father.
Half ringing.
You Yongchang continued, "Okay, Qian'er, tell me what you think. β
You Qian changed his words and said softly: "Dare to ask my father, my You family was the leading wealthy businessman in Donghe County ten years ago, why are you still trapped here?"
You Yongchang was silent for a while, and spit out two words: "Force." β
"Yes. You Qian nodded: "Father, you are young in business, single-handedly created my You family's foundation, looking at Yangzhou business, I am afraid that few can match you, but when I was lying in the ring that day, looking at Brother Yun, Liu Ming, and the dean who appeared later, I suddenly understood what your father once said to me." β
You Qian said word by word: "This world belongs to immortals and warriors. β
"The so-called power and wealth are only appendages of force. β
