Chapter 10 Scheming Against Him
Chapter 10 Scheming Against Him
Unexpected.
The young man who hadn't said much.
At this moment, he frowned and spoke frankly, causing the old martial arts master next to him to twitch his eyelids and curse inwardly.
"You're right."
Qin Jiu nodded in satisfaction.
This person did not give a perfunctory answer.
Thinking this, he turned to look at the young man and asked, "Which martial art from this manor do you practice?"
"My lord, I have learned the Mountain-Opening Fist."
"In that case, you can teach me the stance training method of the Mountain Opening Fist during this time."
Qin Jiu said directly.
Since the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Stance technique is missing, I can only learn another martial art.
Although the Overlord Blade Technique cannot be practiced yet.
However, mastering a low-level martial art is not a major problem.
As for the Dragon-Tiger Health-Preserving Posture, it can only be used to cultivate Qi and blood.
"this......"
The young man was dumbfounded.
The old martial arts master glanced at him with schadenfreude.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu said to him indifferently, "Mr. Huang, Qin Xudong is not very old. If there is anything he missed when he teaches me martial arts, you must remind him."
The old martial arts master was named Huang Jing, and he came from a local gang.
It was through his skills that he entered the Qin family.
Qin Xudong, on the other hand, is a legitimate member of the Qin family's collateral branch. Since he started learning martial arts, he has traveled all over the country with the guard team. His martial arts skills are even better than those of the old martial arts masters, but his experience is still slightly lacking.
The words that Coach Xu had said earlier flashed through his mind.
At this time.
Qin Xudong said in a deep voice, "Patriarch, please watch carefully. The stance training of the Mountain Opening Fist has thirty-six forms. The breathing guidance and breath exchange of each form are different. This is the first form, Asking the Way..."
time flies.
Before you know it, the sun has set.
Inside the small courtyard.
Qin Jiu barely managed to memorize the method of practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist, but he didn't fully remember the breathing technique.
He wanted the other party to demonstrate it a few more times.
He was interrupted before he could even speak.
"Young Master, there's news about the Cold Jade Marrow."
Wang Yue is back.
He hurried into the courtyard, but when he saw two other figures, he wisely refrained from saying anything.
"Butler Wang."
Qin Xudong and Huang Jing were both startled, and then they bowed to Wang Yue in unison, their eyes filled with awe.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu told the two to leave first.
Then he looked at Wang Yue.
"What did you mean by saying there was news about the Jadeite?"
"This old servant learned at the Four Seasons Pharmacy today that their deputy head has a five-pound piece of cold jade marrow, but he is unwilling to sell it, not even in barter," Wang Yue said with a hint of helplessness. "As for the weapon forging shops in the city, or even the Treasure Pavilion, they don't have this material."
"The deputy head of the Four Seasons Pharmacy..."
Qin Jiu frowned.
Within Songshan County, there are two mysterious forces: one is the weapon forging shop, and the other is the Four Seasons Pharmacy.
It is said that these two shops have powerful connections.
They don't like to compete or fight, and they keep a low profile. Even the Six Doors don't want to provoke these two families.
Unfortunately, the cold jade marrow he needed was in the hands of the deputy head of the Four Seasons Pharmacy.
"There's one more thing."
At this time.
Wang Yue then asked, "The three martial artists from the manor have all returned. What are your plans for them?"
"Regarding Qin Xiong as well..."
"According to your previous informant, Qin Xiong ordered his men to notify the fishing gang and the firewood gang during the day, preparing to take action against the Qin residence."
"Have you found out who's behind these two gangs?"
Qin Jiu frowned even more deeply.
The leaders of the Fishing Gang and the Firewood Gang were only third-level martial artists, which was not a concern for the Qin family.
What he truly cares about is the person behind him.
All the major and minor forces in Songshan County have intricate connections behind them. Even a small beggar gang cannot gain a foothold in the city without a powerful backer. Even a large gang in the eyes of outsiders cannot enjoy the benefits of the mountain forest and fishery without a powerful backer.
The reason why Qin Xiong was allowed to go fishing at that time was...
Qin Jiu wasn't envious of anything; rather, he wanted to follow this lead to investigate whether Qin Guihong's death was an accident or intentional.
The biggest suspect is...
These were the forces that rushed to take action against the Qin family after Qin Guihong's death.
"The Han family is behind the Chai Gang."
Wang Yue began, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face, and said, "As for the fishing gangs, this old servant eventually found two: one is the Zhao family, and the other is the county government."
"Who?"
"There is no way to confirm."
He stated frankly that if the investigation were to proceed forcefully, he might have to confront the county magistrate.
Qin Jiu's eyelids twitched.
"How did this get involved with that person?"
"This old servant believes that the person behind the fishing gang should be the Zhao family. If it is that evil star, the county magistrate, the Qin family may not be safe for a while."
"I hope so."
Qin Jiu rubbed his temples and said, "Now I actually hope that the Zhao family is that invisible hand."
"As for Qin Xiong..."
"Given the current situation, keeping him around is pointless."
......
night.
At the beginning of Hai hour.
Outside the city of Songshan County, at the incense hall of the fishing community.
The incense hall was brightly lit at this moment, and two imposing figures were talking about something.
One of them paced back and forth as he spoke.
He seemed quite agitated.
If any members of the Fishermen's Gang were present at this moment, they would surely have discovered that the guest their leader was meeting was none other than the former leader of the Firewood Gang.
"What exactly do you want from the adults?"
"The situation is so favorable now, it's a waste of an opportunity not to let us take any action."
"Don't be impatient."
The leader of the fishing gang sat calmly in the main seat, watching the figure pacing back and forth, and said, "My lord's considerations are far-reaching. You and I only need to wait patiently. Our time to make our move will come eventually."
"Don't worry about it."
"I told you long ago that tonight is the best time to make our move, as long as we cooperate with Qin Xiong from the inside..."
"stupid."
Upon hearing this, the leader of the fishing gang snorted coldly: "With the Sick Tiger King Yue in the Qin family, the two of us combined can't even withstand a single blow from him. Do you really believe that idiot Qin Xiong can outsmart him?"
The figure pacing back and forth stopped abruptly upon hearing these words.
He remained silent for a long while before speaking.
"I have already promised Qin Xiong. If I don't act tonight, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"
"Old Feng, stop pretending."
The leader of the fishing gang glanced at him and said indifferently, "You have no share in the Qin family's secret formula for cultivating spirit beasts. The four major families are nothing more than a small stone. If you ruin the adults' plans because of this, you'll have a hard time dying."
"you......"
Upon hearing this, the man's pupils contracted slightly.
In the end, he didn't dare to continue.
......
at the same time.
The Qin family's reception hall.
Five powerful figures gathered together, including Qin Xiong. He sat expressionlessly in a chair, his gaze occasionally sweeping towards the entrance of the hall, as if anticipating someone's arrival.
The others also looked serious.
No one was whispering or discussing anything.
The hall was so quiet that the sound of candles burning could be clearly heard.
'Ta-ta'
suddenly.
Several footsteps sounded from afar, getting closer.
A strange look immediately flashed in everyone's eyes.
"I've kept you all waiting."
