"Seventh Junior Brother, do you know that the Iron Legs Sect is gone."
Tan Pan closed his eyes and rested his mind, and suddenly an inconsistent sentence came out.
Wei Tao, who was sitting next to him, was thinking deeply about the integration of spirit, energy and spirit when he suddenly woke up.
He raised his head and said in disbelief, "Senior Brother, what did you say?"
Tan Pan repeated again, "The Iron Legs faction is gone."
"What do you mean no more?" Wei Tao asked.
"It's gone. It's gone. To put it bluntly, it means that all the people are dead, the house is burned down, and it no longer exists."
Wei Tao squinted his eyes and quickly recalled the battle on that snowy night.
He really just killed Chen Chengshan,
In addition, the Qinghe Association sent elites to destroy Chen Chengyuan,
After all, he only managed to kill two disciples of the Iron Leg Sect.
So how many days has passed?
Is there no more Iron Legs?
No, isn't this serious?
He hasn't made a plan yet. Is he going to cause trouble with the Iron Legs faction again, and such a large martial arts gym will cease to exist?
Tan Pan yawned,
The tone was also full of doubts.
"I don't know exactly what's going on.
But what is certain is that there was a fire at the Iron Legs Martial Arts Hall last night, and the leader of the sect, Lu Yishang, was burned to death.
In addition, the eldest disciple Chen Chengshan disappeared, and other disciples fled to death.
The name Iron Leg Sect no longer exists in Cangyuan City."
Wei Tao frowned, "I don't know who made the move, so ruthless and no room for mercy."
"I don't know either. In terms of pure strength, the three families in the inner city and Mr. Hu in the outer city can all do this, but I can't think of a reason for them to do this."
Tan Pan's expression was serious and his tone was solemn.
"Anyway, this fire came out of nowhere.
And even if a fire accidentally breaks out, it will never be possible to burn a master like the leader of the Iron Legs faction to death.
So for us, this is not good news, but bad news."
"It's really not good news."
Wei Tao deeply agreed, "This is not good news not only for us, but also for all the forces in the outer city."
……………………
Cangyuan inner city.
Qu Shang finished her day's work and returned home exhausted.
She was going to take a hot bath and then lie down directly to sleep.
I'm so tired that I don't even want to eat.
Suddenly, the maid Xiaoyue came running from outside, "Miss, Granny Pan is here. She said that the mistress asked you to go to the old house now."
Qu Shang sighed, but still put on the clothes she had just taken off halfway, and quickly walked out of the room.
"Xiao Shang is here, have you eaten?"
Qu's mother is having dinner.
On the table is a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of cold tofu, a pot of braised rabbit meat, and a pot of sweet glutinous rice soup.
There are cold and hot, meat and vegetables,
It smells fragrant and will whet your appetite.
"I haven't had time to eat yet." Qu Chang sat down and got himself a bowl of rice.
Qu's mother abided by the family motto of "eating without speaking, sleeping without speaking". The two of them finished dinner in silence, and then a servant came over to clear the table and make a pot of hot tea.
After slowly drinking a cup of tea, Qu's mother said her second sentence tonight, "I heard that you met a young man from another city a few days ago. How is he?"
"Does even mother know that this girl Jiaoyun came to you and talked nonsense again?"
Qu Chang's cheeks were slightly red, and she made a nonchalant expression. She laughed awkwardly and said, "I didn't think it was very suitable, so I refused directly.
It's also interesting to have sex with Yun, it's my business originally, but she seems to be more anxious than me."
Qu's mother said slowly, "As Huang Jiaoyun's daughter, and the situation she is facing now, it is normal to be anxious.
She has her own ideas, and it's normal for her to want to use her strength to form a small circle.
In fact, as long as it does no harm to us, there is no need to pursue it too deeply.
When it comes to deeds, the heart is not considered. There is no perfect person in the world."
Qu Chang lowered his head and fell silent. After a long time, he said, "Recently, my daughter has been busy with the business of restaurants and dental shops in the outer city. She is not very concerned about these things. Mother, don't think too much, just rest and recuperate."
"I just want to calm down, think about nothing, and do nothing."
Qu Mu rubbed her smooth and warm jade finger, with a tired smile on her face, "But if you don't worry about the long term, you will have immediate worries. Looking at the ever-changing situation now, you can't help but think more and prepare for a rainy day.
.”
"What exactly is the foresight that mother is talking about?" Qu Shang asked.
"I'm not worried about the rise and fall of these family businesses, not only because worrying is useless, but also because compared to the life and death of the entire Qu family, they are actually not as important as imagined."
Qu Shang raised her head after Qu Mu's words, her eyes full of surprise and confusion.
She looked at her daughter and continued in a calm tone, "If the world continues to be chaotic, problems will arise sooner or later in the restaurants and shops we run in Cangyuan City.
Even these few houses in the inner city will become worthless.
But as long as we can survive, we will have a chance to make a comeback."
Qu Shang fell into thinking, and said slowly after careful consideration, "What does mother mean, is it mainly to reserve money and food?"
"Money and food are indeed important, but more importantly, you must have the strength to keep it."
Qu’s mother sighed, “Huang, Zhou, Xu, why are they the three major families in Cangyuan City?
Isn't it because these three families have produced masters from generation to generation, and based on this, they established Tongming Building, Black Cavalry, and Juyingtang?
After further wooing Fenglin Military Town and the sect Yueyingguan, we now have firm control over the ground covering a radius of several hundred miles inside and outside Cangyuan City."
"So, in today's increasingly chaotic world, only strong force can
This is the foundation that allows our family to continue.
Everything else is just a pavilion built on this foundation,
It looks beautiful, but with just a slight push from outside, it will collapse in an instant.
All that is left is a ruined mess.”
"What I said has been ignored by you in the past few years.
I just think that as my business grows bigger, I will make more money.
But the truth is, you should have had a personal painful experience by now,
And began to make preparations for the layout,
But what I'm afraid of is that while you are trying hard to build a platform, someone is secretly trying to undermine it.
In the end, all we can do is draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.”
After Qu Mu finished speaking, she lowered her head and sipped tea.
Qu Shang thought silently.
The room fell into a long silence.
Time passed little by little.
Until there was a gentle knock on the door.
An old female voice came from outside, "Miss, it's time to take medicine."
"Aunt Pan, bring it in."
Qu's mother drank a bowl of thick and bitter medicinal soup and stopped her as she turned to leave.
"Aunt Pan, have you found out everything?"
"If you tell me back to Miss, I've checked everything out."
The old grandma took out a piece of paper filled with small words from her arms.
"Give it to Xiaoshang and let her see it for herself," Qu's mother said.
Qu Shang took the paper sign and looked at it for a moment, but his eyes were filled with anger.
"Wei Tao, a disciple of the Red Line Sect, took three months to get started, and in just a few months he crossed over to the level of skin training and muscle training."
"Meiyuan martial arts competition, this person defeated Chen Chengyuan, a muscle-training level warrior of the Iron Leg Sect, with one punch, causing the opponent's leg to be broken and seriously injured."
"A box of high-quality medicinal materials and ten meridians were taken from the secret warehouse of the old house, and all of them fell into the hands of Zhao Zhi, a junior from the Zhao family branch..."
Qu Mu covered herself with a blanket, lay down half beside the heater, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Although the boy surnamed Wei has made a breakthrough in Jinjin training,
But he is not a genius either.
At least not worthy of the girl from my Qu family,
After all, looking at it from the height of the inner city,
There are many people who are more talented and stronger than him.
But this matter,
That's not the point of it,
But it is within the Xiao Qiang that disaster arises."
At this point, she raised her head and glanced at her daughter. "Your own maid, you can handle it yourself. I won't get involved."
"Thank you, mother, for reminding me. I understand."
"This little Yue, maybe she is used to being close to me, and she has forgotten her due duties in some matters."
