The Dongshan Kong family is one of the top families in the Qin Dynasty except for the grandmaster family. Excluding the grandmaster, the overall strength is considered to be the top three families in the Qin Dynasty. Although the family has never produced a strong master at the grandmaster level since the saint Confucius, among the
There are countless martial arts masters, especially sixth-grade martial arts experts. In addition to your own family, there are also countless disciples who were left behind by Confucius and are supported by traditional sects. They are intertwined with at least the top five Confucian forces in the sect. It is difficult to tell you apart.
I, except Da Qin officials, rank in the top ten in terms of overall power.
Emperor Qin brought his people directly to live in the Kong family in Dongshan. The current head of the Kong family was so excited that he vacated the courtyard where Kong Sheng lived in the past to entertain Emperor Qin. Lin Ze and the others occupied the entire east wing of the Confucius residence.
The servants are waiting on you.
Lin Ze walked into the Confucius Mansion and walked around casually. He found that the Confucius Mansion did not occupy a vast area like the wealthy Chang'an family. It was probably out of caution. Emperor Tiangao needed to be more cautious. Emperor Qin suppressed the world so fiercely.
Arousing suspicion is the result of death and family destruction, so the internal layout is more exquisite. Some seedlings in the courtyard are not planted directly on the ground, but are in the form of flower pots.
Not long after Lin Ze and the others settled down, a head of the Kong family came with the younger generation of the Kong family to pay homage to Young Master Da Qin.
Lin Ze was amused when he saw it. They were all a group of five to ten-year-old children, ten in total, four boys and six girls, the kind who were just starting out in martial arts. Not to mention the boys, the six girls who came were carefully dressed.
Lin Ze guessed the Kong family's intention just by thinking about it and almost laughed out loud.
Lin Ze's guess was soon confirmed. After a brief salute, the boy vaguely blocked Lin Ze and the others, and a group of beautiful girls dressed in Yuanyuan Yanyan surrounded Hu Hai. One of them said: "
Peacock has met Mr. Hu Hai. I heard that Chang'an City is the most prosperous place. Can Mr. Peacock take Peacock to visit in the future?" Lin Ze rolled his eyes. It would be better if you just said that you want to enter Xianyang Palace. Why does Chang'an need Hu Hai to take him?
, Xianyang Palace is almost the same.
Another person looked at Hu Hai with starry eyes: "Young Master looks so heroic and extraordinary, he must be successful in martial arts. Kong Juan also likes martial arts very much. Why don't you have time to guide some young ladies?" Lin Ze suddenly wanted to be dirty.
, looks good, and also practices martial arts, haha, does this little kid understand that?
Another girl said: "Young Master came from Chang'an and was tired from traveling all the way. Kong Shu will rub it for you." After saying that, she touched Hu Hai's body with both hands, leaving Hu Hai at a loss. Lin Ze puffed up.
With a loud sound, he spat out the tea he just drank. Why did it feel like Hu Hai was visiting a brothel?
The boys from the Kong family looked at Lin Ze with a bad expression. One of them, who was a little older, saluted Lin Ze and said, "Hello, brother. I'm Kong Ming from the Kong family. What do you call me?"
Lin Ze coughed and was choked. The famous "Kong Ming", no, Zhuge Liang's surname is Zhuge. He quickly returned the greeting: "Lin Ze, I have met all the heroes of the Kong family."
Kong Ming continued: "I think Brother Lin is also a martial arts practitioner. Why don't we all go to the courtyard to compete." The meaning behind the words was, little brother, let's go and stop being a lightbulb here. Lin Ze readily agreed.
, nodding and heading towards.
When Hu Hai saw it, he immediately jumped over and said excitedly: "Do you want to learn martial arts? Take me with you." After saying this, the six girls immediately looked at Kong Ming with murderous eyes. "You can't whisper and take him away quietly, look."
Kong Ming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a forced smile: "Master Hu Hai, it is better to rest here for a while. I will take Brother Lin out for a discussion and then come back."
Hu Hai was furious when he heard this: "Are you looking down on me? Do my martial arts look worse than Lin Ze's?"
As soon as this statement came out, the girls became even more angry, and they all accused Kong Ming of not being able to speak. Kong Ming suddenly started to sweat even more, and Ai Ai did not dare to reply. Another disciple of the Kong family couldn't see it and came to the rescue: "Why don't we all go to the martial arts field together?
Come on, let’s have some fun with Brother Lin, and Master will teach Peacock and their martial arts.”
Hu Hai shouted angrily: "You really look down on me, you think my martial arts are only worthy of discussing with women, right? I want to fight you to see who is more powerful." Lin Ze was smiling and interested.
As he watched, he saw a steward of the Confucius family coming in, and his expression immediately changed: "How brave, you and the Confucius family actually look down on the young master, you are so brave, aren't you?"
The steward who came in was shocked that the younger members of the family dared to do such a thing. He wanted to deal with them well later, but he squeezed in with a smile on his face: "This little brother, don't talk nonsense. How can we in the Kong family look down on the young master? Children are messy."
He said he was going to be punished." He looked at Lin Ze vaguely, but his words were threatening Lin Ze. Seeing that he was a child, he felt that he was easy to bully, but he did not expect that the person in front of him was not the shabby kid who usually came to beat Qiufeng.
But Lin Ze didn't buy it. Who was he? He was the bitch of Master Da Qin. Bah, he was a personal guard. He would care about the threat of a steward of a noble family. He turned to Hu Hai and said: "Master, they say you are talking nonsense, and you have to be punished."
You, we are in someone else's home now, we can't bear this anger."
Speaking of this, Hu Hai lost his temper and called the guards and said coldly: "Tell the emperor that I want to move out. The majestic Master Qin cannot bear the anger of being under the roof of others. If the emperor wants to live, he can live here."
"The steward was shocked when he heard this, and quickly pulled Hu Hai to apologize desperately. How dare he dare to make Hu Hai angry? Maybe the entire Kong family will collapse because of this incident, and the young master will be angry. The Kong family is
Do you want to rebel? I feel aggrieved. I just want the child to stop talking nonsense. Why did he become a young master and feel offended? It felt like Lin Ze was trying to sow trouble, and I couldn't help but hate him.
Who is Lin Ze, Gong Dou, have you not watched enough dramas? One look at the steward’s eyes and he understood, and he sneered in his heart: You are committing suicide, don’t blame me for being cruel. Then he advised: "Master, don’t be impulsive first.
"The Confucius Mansion has no intention of looking down on the young master or letting him be angry. Master, please calm down." After saying this, the people in the Confucius Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. The steward was still very proud. He must have frightened the child with just a few words. Huh, let's look back.
Teach him a lesson.
Just listen to Lin Ze continue to say: "These young ladies are very polite and warm hospitality to the young master." Hu Hai's face softened a little when he heard this, probably thinking of the enthusiasm of the young ladies of the Kong family, he still said to himself: "Then
Didn't you just say that I was going to be punished? What did Lin Ze say?" Everyone in the Kong family became excited again.
"So, the person who really looks down on the young master is this steward. He speaks rudely to the young master and dares to call him a child. How can anyone else in the world except your majesty and the elders of the clan have the qualifications to do so? He even talks wildly about punishing the young master. Let me ask.
"Other than Your Majesty, who is qualified to punish the young master? All this is caused by this steward," Lin Ze pointed at the steward and said, "You want to threaten me if you bully the weak and fear the strong, right? If you change the concept, I will let you bow."
When the steward heard this, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he said, "I'm talking about you, not the young master. Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Ze said quietly: "But it is the young master who is looked down upon by the Confucius family, not me." Only then did the other people in the Kong family remember that it was just Master Hu Hai who was just a child to vent his anger, and it was this steward who interfered, so they would not
I remembered that I had said the wrong thing.
This was the person in charge of the Kong family who rushed over. After asking what happened, he quickly apologized to Hu Hai and Lin Ze. Then he looked at the steward with disgust and motioned to the two guards to drag him away. The steward still wanted to struggle and say
Well, those two guards were quite experienced. They covered his mouth before he could speak and dragged him away.
The manager tried to smooth things over: "Since you are interested, let's go to the martial arts arena together." Seeing the manager being dragged away, Hu Hai's face brightened: "Let's go and have a look," and he took Lin Ze and the others with him.
Went to the martial arts arena.
There were probably distinguished guests here. There were few extra people in the martial arts arena of Kong Mansion today. There was only one and a half-year-old boy practicing. Kong Ming saw his expression change and went over to push the young man: "Kong Xuan, distinguished guests are here. Why don't you treat me well?"
Stay in your room, what are you doing out here? This is the place where you, a bastard, should come."
The young man was pushed, but his upper body only moved, and his lower body didn't even sway. He walked away without saying a word. However, Hu Hai and Lin Ze looked at each other in surprise. Kong Ming was afraid that Hu Hai would be angry again.
He explained: "It is the bastard of my family who has no rules and bumped into the distinguished guests. I apologize to the young master." Then he explained: "Kong Xuan is a descendant of a side branch. His parents are both dead. The elders of the clan saw him as pitiful and took him in. Unfortunately, martial arts
His talent was so poor that it took him five years of training to break through to the second level of martial arts. The old man who adopted him passed away a few years ago, and he did not leave. He ate mixed food at home. This time, he was ignorant and made the young master laugh.
"
Before Lin Ze opened his mouth, Xiao Jin secretly sneered: "He has clearly broken through the limits and his skills are extraordinary, but such a good young man doesn't know how rare he is."
Lin Ze didn't see it that way. Maybe it was because he was a concubine. It was normal to keep a low profile and there were many talented people in his direct lineage. If Kong Xuan showed his talent, he would not only not be able to be well cultivated, but would disappear in this place for some reason.
World, just look at the attitude of Kong Ming and others, and you will know how difficult Kong Xuan's situation is in the Kong family. Poor martial arts talent is not the attitude.
Hu Hai didn't think much, he ran directly to the special martial arts stage and shouted: "Whoever wants to come up to compete, please come over."
Everyone in the Kong family looked embarrassed, but they didn't want to compete with Hu Hai. If they won, they were afraid of Hu Hai's anger and revenge. If they lost, they would be embarrassed. With so many people watching, they were even more afraid of letting a girl go. Moreover, the male was still there.
Well, how embarrassing it is to let girls enter the ring. One of the Kong family members said wittyly: "I want to challenge this Brother Lin."
However, Lin Ze looked embarrassed: "When I came out, my father told me not to bully other children. He also said that if I hurt others, he would confiscate a high-end treasure prepared for me and give it to me in the future.
It is used by my younger brothers and sisters, so this brother, you should challenge the young master."
Hu Hai was stunned. You didn't beat me well before. How can I be so embarrassed as you said? Lin Ze, a bad guy, is having his own agenda again. The man from the Kong family looked embarrassed, but he didn't follow Lin Ze's answer and asked for help.
Kong Ming looked at Kong Ming casually. But Kong Ming stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, are you afraid? In this way, we promise not to hurt you, and if you are hurt, we will never tell anyone."
Lin Ze shook his head: "No, if my father finds out, the high-level treasure will be gone." Haha, it's an old trick of provoking generals again, nothing new. Hu Hai rolled his eyes and said in support:
"Don't embarrass Lin Ze. Come on, everyone who needs to learn from each other comes with me. Don't you look down on me?"
Everyone in the Kong family shook their heads, and Kong Ming stepped forward to deny it: "How can I look down on the young master? I just have a special affinity with Brother Lin and want to discuss with him. As for Brother Lin's father's ban, although we promise not to tell it, Lin
Brother, don’t worry. Let’s do this. Let’s privately compensate Brother Lin for an earth treasure. I happen to have a dragon’s blood grass on hand. If Brother Lin is willing to play, no matter whether he wins or loses, I will give it to Brother Lin. Brother Lin will not fail.
Give our Kong family face." Hu Hai was stunned when he said this. He would rather pay the price of the land treasure than compete with him. This is so cruel.
Having said this, Lin Ze would certainly not refuse. Since breaking through to the second level, he has taken Dibao nourishing from time to time. Although compared to his level, using Dibao is a bit wasteful. Fortunately, with Xiao Jin's assistance, the basic absorption rate is still quite good.
He is tall, and his physical fitness has also increased rapidly. After a cursory look, his strength has increased to more than 15,000 kilograms. He should be able to deal with several children of several years old without any problem.
To be on the safe side, Lin Ze replied: "Since Brother Kong has already said this, it would really be a bit humiliating for you if you don't agree. Let's do this. You give the treasure to the young master for safekeeping first, and I will discuss it with you.
." After saying that, he took the initiative to go on stage and wait.
Kong Ming gave a few instructions to a disciple of the Kong family next to him, and then let the disciple of the Kong family who had just challenged come on stage.
Lin Ze and the boy from the Kong family, whose name was not revealed, bowed to each other, and then put up a posture and waited for the opponent's attack. After waiting for a while, the boy from the Kong family couldn't help but attack after seeing that Lin Ze was in a defensive state. Lin Ze
I blocked it casually, and when I felt about 6,000 kilograms of force, I couldn't help but feel confident. I waited for the next time the opponent attacked, stepped aside, took a deep breath, shouted, and grabbed the opponent's arm while he was shocked.
With a swish of his hand, the Kong family member flew out. Fortunately, Lin Ze didn't use any force to throw him out and landed on the ground with only minor scratches.
Kong Ming's expression changed and he blurted out: "Are you a second-grade martial artist?"
Lin Ze answered innocently: "Yes, I broke through to the second level in Chang'an. Young Master can vouch for me."
Kong Ming faintly didn't believe it: "But as the young master's guard, aren't you only five or six years old?"
Lin Ze asked back: "Is it weird to be a five- or six-year-old second-grade person?"
Kong Ming was speechless. He really wanted to beat up the person who asked for a discussion. Among them, he was the only one who was in the second level of martial arts, and he broke through to the second level when he was eight years old. He was much younger than him.
Judging from the posture, he is no worse than him. He and his gang have to pay for the treasure, and they are being humiliated. What is this? No, even if he has the reputation of bullying the small, he still has to win this fight.
After a game, I thought of this and ran to the ring: "Kong Ming of the Kong family, second grade martial arts, please give me some advice."
Lin Ze also replied seriously: "Lin Ze of the Lin family, please give me some advice."
Kong Ming will not be the leader of the younger generation, and the momentum of his attacks is much stronger than that of the previous Kong family disciple. He clenched his hands into fists and echoed back and forth in a continuous manner.
Lin Ze put away his previous contempt and concentrated on using Xiaoyaoyou's movement to dodge, and then strike back from time to time, intending to find Kong Ming's flaw.
After two collisions, Lin Ze found that Kong Ming's strength was still not as strong as him. He initially estimated that he only had 12,000. He couldn't help but want to change his strategy and fight with him head-on. Kong Ming on the opposite side also realized this. He originally thought that Lin Ze would be able to reach 20,000.
Pin Hui was much weaker than him, but he didn't expect that his strength was stronger than his own. He couldn't help but panic. Every time he hit hard, he felt the area where he hit was numb. The smoother Lin Ze hit and the more confident he became, the more Kong Ming became.
The more uncomfortable I feel, the more unsure I feel.
Lin Ze doesn't care so much. Everyone else is almost the same. I am stronger than you. This is the king's way. Every little bit can wear you to death. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, he finally took advantage of Kong Ming's lack of strength and knocked him down. Kong Ming's whole
People also seem to have lost their minds, falling under the ring and unable to regain their senses for a long time.
At this time, probably an elder of the Kong family came over and shouted coldly at Kong Ming: "What, as a child of the Kong family, can't you afford to lose? It's just a competition, victory or defeat doesn't matter, the battle of life and death is with you.
Is this sad?”
Only then did Kong Ming come back to his senses and saluted the elder: "Kong Ming thanks my third uncle for reminding me. I should remember what happened today. Sooner or later, I will win back as much as I lost." After saying that, he stared at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze was speechless for a while, "What are you looking at me for? How dare you come up to me for cheating? Is it because your face is not swollen enough?"
The elder probably came here after hearing that Kong Ming and the others gave away an earth treasure for the competition, and said directly to Lin Ze: "Brother Lin's father is really strict in discipline. He got an earth treasure at a time from the competition. He is a middle-grade treasure."
None of the warriors are that famous."
Lin Ze didn't reply, haha, it doesn't matter if you want to talk? You have to ask my boss if he agrees. He looked directly at Hu Hai, meaning it's up to you.
Hu Hai immediately realized that the Kong family wanted to go back on his word, and his face immediately turned dark: "My master is not yet in need of one or two treasures. Before he came out, I rewarded Lin Ze with a few treasures. What do you think?"
Are the treasures from your Kong family more valuable than those from other families?"
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't argue with Hu Hai. He probably didn't expect that Hu Hai would stand up for Lin Ze, so he threw the box containing the treasure to Kong Ming and left. Hu Hai said disdainfully: "Give me the face."
Shameless." He took the thing directly from Kong Ming's hand and threw it to Huang Banban, asking him to help put it away. He didn't give it to Lin Ze because he was afraid that the Kong family would target Lin Ze. Besides, it seemed that it was legitimately Hei Linze's thing.
It feels so good.
Who is Lin Ze? You can tell at a glance. Hehehe sneered. Let’s not argue with you. Sooner or later, I will vomit out what I eat.
