Chapter 12 The drunkard's intention is not to drink
"Actually, it was thanks to the help of Senior Brother Zheng and Sister Priest, plus my calculations, that I was able to keep them all." Seeing Zuo Le's reaction, Qin Ziling felt a little embarrassed and was deliberately modest.
Two sentences.
"Junior Brother Qin, in front of Master Zuo, you don't have to be humble or put gold on Muxuan and I," Zheng Xinghan said.
"Xinghan, please tell me carefully about the situation at that time." Zuo Le was reluctantly relieved after hearing Qin Ziling's explanation, but when Zheng Xinghan said this, he felt something was wrong and couldn't help but become curious.
"Okay, Master Zuo." Zheng Xinghan nodded, and then gave a rough description of the situation at that time.
"This..." After hearing this, Zuo Le took a sharp breath of air and looked at Qin Ziling with a hint of fear.
With this scheming, this composure, this cold-bloodedness, even if Zuo Le lived for more than fifty years, he still felt inferior.
How can a young man who is just twenty years old after the Chinese New Year do this!
"Does Master Zuo know that last year, several leaders of the Yama Luo Gang were killed and Zhuang Gaochi, an inner disciple of Youlong Zhangyuan, was killed in an alley?" Mu Xuan gasped when she saw Zuo Le hearing this.
, couldn’t help but ask.
"I have nothing to do in the courtyard, but I heard you talk about it. It seems to be related to a shop in Zi Lingbao, but Youlongzhangyuan has never found any clues." Zuo Le nodded.
"Junior Brother Qin did it!" Muxuan lowered her voice.
"Senior sister, please stop talking about these off-topic remarks. Besides, I didn't say it was me who did it." Seeing that Mu Xuan was afraid that the news was not shocking enough, Qin Ziling added specifically and was speechless for a while.
"Come on, didn't it happen by chance?" Muxuan rolled her eyes.
"Sister Pastor, there are so many coincidences in this world!" Qin Ziling looked at Mu Xuan and suddenly regretted not denying it.
A woman’s mouth is really hard to reassure people!
"What Zi Ling said is right, there are a lot of coincidences in this world. That's it for now. Muxuan, don't talk nonsense, and don't mention it to anyone, otherwise I will punish you severely!" Zuo Le is a Jianghu after all.
The old man quickly came to his senses and said with a serious face.
"Yes! Master Zuo, I understand." Muxuan was startled when she saw this, and said sternly.
"Very good, very good! You acted very well when you took that kick just now! You are low-key, tolerant, willing to endure hardships, perseverant and perseverant. If you really want to encounter big things, you can be decisive and calm, and you also value friendship. I didn't expect that I, Zuo Le
How can I receive such an outstanding disciple in my lifetime?" Zuo Le's eyes fell on Qin Ziling again, circling him non-stop, full of admiration and love but also a hint of fear that was deeply hidden by him.
"Master Zuo is too praised!" Qin Ziling bowed slightly and said.
Zuo Le waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be humble. Now that you are at the iron level, tell me what your plans are next."
"I don't have any plans. Let's do what we did before. If you don't understand, come to Master Zuo every once in a while to ask for advice. If you need secret pill potion, go to Senior Brother Zheng to buy it. This is good." Qin Ziling replied.
"Don't you want to reveal your identity as an Ironskin warrior? You should know what it means to be an Ironskin warrior, especially since you are only twenty years old this year and it only took half a year to reach the Ironskin level.
It can bring you fame, wealth, and get to know many high-level people. You can see this just by looking at Nangong Yue. He can now reach the sky in one step!" Zuo Le asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Reputation is all false, and everything still depends on strength. I am only an iron-clad person now, so what am I worth in Fangshu City?
It's better to keep a low profile, so as not to attract trouble and have to spend time taking care of personal relationships every day, and can't concentrate on practicing." Qin Ziling replied calmly.
"Very good, then your affairs will only be known to the four of us and Lin Shou for the time being, and will not be spread to anyone else." Zuo Le nodded happily after hearing this, and said: "You don't have to worry about the money and resources needed for cultivation. I will
I will fully support you! Even the eggs and chicken of Xuanhan Iron Chicken, I will do my best to arrange them for you for free. As long as you gather your strength as soon as possible, our master and apprentice will work together, and we will have more say in Fangcheng City.
.”
Zheng Xinghan and Muxuan both looked envious when they heard this, but they didn't feel a trace of jealousy.
I am convinced and grateful to Qin Ziling and the others.
"Thank you Master Zuo. However, Master Zuo is more than just my disciple, so you don't have to spend most of your resources on me. I will work hard to earn it if necessary. This is also a training for myself. Otherwise, it will all depend on Master Zuo.
It's not good for your growth." Qin Ziling bowed slightly and said.
"What you said makes sense, but the role of a sect is to be your solid backing. The reason why many people try their best to join a sect is because as long as they are good enough, the sect can provide them with a steady stream of practice.
resources, and even the flesh and blood of wild animals.
You are very opinionated, but I still have to give more support as appropriate, and of course I will also consider Muxuan and the others." Zuo Le said, the more he looked at Qin Ziling, the more he liked him.
With this character, this perseverance, this opinion, coupled with his talent, Zuo Le has now completely swept away his previous depression and loss.
"Thank you Master Zuo. I have nothing to do. I will go home first and come back tomorrow to ask you for advice on how to practice." Qin Ziling bowed slightly without any further excuses.
"Go." Zuo Le nodded.
After Qin Ziling left, Muxuan quickly left the inner room, and Zheng Xinghan was the only one left.
"Please tell me about this trip in detail again," Zuo Le said.
"Yes, Master Zuo." Zheng Xinghan nodded, and then recounted what happened on this trip from beginning to end. This time, he even mentioned Qin Ziling's equal share of the money and the fact that Liu Xiaoqiang's injury had recovered.
After hearing this, Zuo Le was silent for a long time and said: "Xinghan, if something happens to me in the future, you will take your junior brothers and sisters to follow Qin Ziling. As long as nothing happens to him, his future achievements will never be inferior to those of his teacher."
, and I won’t treat you badly.”
"Master is in the prime of life and is a powerful martial artist, how can anything happen to him?" Zheng Xinghan was shocked when he heard this and said quickly.
"I am already fifty-seven this year, and there is no hope of any breakthrough. At fifty I know my destiny, and at sixty I will be sixty!" Zuo Le sighed and said, "Even people like Jiang Yue say they are dead.
It means he is dead. This Fangcheng city is getting more and more unstable. It may be my turn one day. You have also seen what happened today. The Lin family sent Lin Zhengji to recruit geniuses from various martial arts schools. It was a drunkard's intention.
Not drinking!"
"Master Zuo means that they want each martial arts school to take sides?" Zheng Xinghan was shocked and blurted out.
"What do you think? Lin Zhengji said that he is just a Yunjin martial artist, but those talented disciples are the lifeblood of each martial arts school. He has no above-mentioned intentions. He dares to recruit so blatantly. Even I don't agree. He
You still dare to knock on your door?" Zuo Le sneered.
"After all, this is Xicheng, the territory of the Xiao family. Aren't they afraid..." Zheng Xinghan said with an ugly expression.
"The Xiao family is no longer the Xiao family it used to be. Now the Lin family is secretly fighting with the Xujiabao family on behalf of the Pang family. Once Xujiabao sees that the situation is bad and takes refuge with the Lin family, the Xiao family's retreat will be cut off!
Of course, things are not absolute, so today I chose to compete with Lin Zhengji to solve the problem of Nangong Yue's whereabouts, which is to express my attitude to the Xiao family. This is Nangong Yue's personal choice, and I am just forced to have no choice.
Alas, in the final analysis, we are still not strong enough. Otherwise, why would we have to express our position to others about the matter of Hantie Zhangyuan? But Xicheng is the territory of the Xiao family. I will not compete with Lin Zhengji in this matter. Our Hantie Zhangyuan still has
There will be trouble in the Xiao family if the property is in my name," Zuo Le said.
"Hmph, after all, it's all the fault of Nangong Yue, the white-eyed wolf. If he refused, Lin Zhengji would be unknown, and Zuo Shi would not be in a dilemma." Zheng Xinghan said bitterly.
"Whatever he did, it's strange that I was blind. I actually thought that as long as I cultivated him carefully, he would be grateful and try his best to protect our Hantie Palm Courtyard. Instead, he teamed up with outsiders to plot against Hantie Palm Courtyard!" Zuo!
Le said with a gloomy expression.
"Then what should we do next? Does Master Zuo really want to continue to cultivate this kind of person like Lin Zhengji said?" Zheng Xinghan asked.
"That's all we can do for now." Zuo Le said, patting the armrest of the chair bitterly.
…
Qin Ziling walked out of the west city gate and clearly felt that the atmosphere was much more tense than before.
Especially in the areas covered by the Xujiabao forces, you can see tall private soldiers wearing leather armor patrolling.
At the sentry and on the archery tower, there are archers standing upright, looking around like hawks.
If someone comes slightly closer to Xujiabao, soldiers will come forward to inquire. The archers at the archery tower post will immediately pick up their bows and arrows. If the situation is not right, they will immediately release arrows to shoot people.
The atmosphere was chilly, as if a mountain rain was about to come.
Pedestrians passing through this area quickened their pace and hurried past, not daring to look around, let alone get close to Xujiabao.
