"Lianzi...are you really okay?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked worriedly at Wen Lian, who was sitting aside and silent.
The light in the room was dim, and Wen Lian's entire face was swollen into a pig's head. She sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, just staring blankly at a porcelain vase with a carved bird, rain, and lotus on the table.
"Don't worry, I went to see Brother Wei this time. He used his own connections to rescue you. I transferred the two meat fields you asked me to take care of to him. Do you have any objections?"'
Lin Xiaoxiao said carefully.
Wen Lian turned her gaze blankly and looked at her closest friend.
She was knocked unconscious and taken away, and then she was beaten all the time. She fainted after being beaten several times. As a result, her family did not come to save her. Instead, her best friend Lin Xiaoxiao tried her best to save her.
What was even more desperate was that when she returned home, her father was shocked, thinking that she had escaped secretly, and actually took the initiative to send her back.
"Xiaoxiao...you think, am I stupid?" Wen Lian said suddenly.
"No, you are just a little stupid, not very stupid." Lin Xiaoxiao answered honestly.
"..." Wen Lian originally thought that her friend would comfort her, but...
She was hit hard in her heart again. Looking at her friend, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.
"Why am I so unlucky... Why did I meet that bad guy? Why? When I was caught, he kept beating me... He didn't care at all whether I was a girl or not. I thought I was going to be beaten.
You can't come back until you're beaten to death..."
Wen Lian burst into tears, with tears and runny nose.
Lin Xiaoxiao could only come closer, hug her friend gently, and pat her junior to make her cry more freely.
After crying for a while, Wen Lian slowly stopped. She huddled in her friend's arms and sobbed little by little.
"It's okay, I'm here, it's okay." Lin Xiaoxiao comforted softly. "Thanks to Brother Wei for helping me this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to rescue you from Han Yuzhong."
"Brother Wei..." Wen Lian immediately thought of the Wanqingyuan martial artist that her friend had invited to sponsor.
She always felt that with her friend's financial and material resources, she could find a better and stronger martial artist.
Asking Wei He is always condescending and lowering the price, which is inappropriate.
But now... I didn't expect that the person who finally stepped in to save her would be such a person whom I had a very bad impression of.
"Look back, come with me to thank Brother Wei." Lin Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"Actually, many times, when Rushuifang's business gets better inexplicably, I suspect that Brother Wei is secretly working behind the scenes."
"..." Wen Lian was speechless.
Judging from what happened this time, it seemed that she had really wrongly blamed Wei He before.
Although others were rude to her several times, they were still willing to help her and did not care about her at all. This is a sign of generosity in itself.
She looked at her best friend Lin Xiaoxiao, and then at herself now...Suddenly she understood why Lin Xiaoxiao always did everything smoothly and could turn danger into safety, but now she...

Wen Lian's matter is just a small matter for Wei He.
Many times, to solve a problem, you don't always need to rely on him to fight alone.
Like Wen Lian this time, if he took action personally, he might still have to take risks.
But exerting force at this level is just a matter of words for Wang Shaojun, which is a piece of cake.
Therefore, force is often just a kind of tool.
Wen Lian's departure made Han Yuzhong no longer have any scruples. After finding out that the Wen family had nothing to do with the Wang family, he tested the Wang family's attitude towards them and determined that there was no problem. He immediately stopped showing favor to the Wen family and struck a thunderous blow.
After decades of prosperity in Xuanjing City, many of the Wen family's properties were sealed off, and overnight, the family's residence was inspected.
During the New Deal, all major new departments were in urgent need of political achievements, and the Chijing Army also needed a large amount of food, grass, and exotic animal meat.
The Wen family was investigated, and the materials found were quickly charged with various crimes, consolidated one by one, and sent to the Chijing Army Barracks.
Wen Shang's family fled overnight and disappeared without a trace, while Wen Lian stayed alone at Lin Xiaoxiao's house and lost everything overnight.
These incidents were not uncommon during the transition of the New Deal. The Wen family's industrial channels were quickly absorbed by newly emerging merchants, creating new large and wealthy businessmen.
Wei He had no time to care about these trivial matters at this time.
The commander-in-chief of Xuanjing City, Yuchi Zhong, invited the eleven branches of Tianyinmen to gather at the commander-in-chief.
Wan Ling decided to bring Wei He and Wan Qingqing to come forward, while Yao Hansheng guarded the goal.
This meeting was the first time Tianyinmen gathered again after the split.
Judging from the Xuanjing Chamber of Commerce and the Gentlemen's Association held before Yuchi Bell, the situation is probably not good.
This old soldier forced Shangguan Ji to sit back and watch the Tianyin Sect split, and even personally took action to clean up the sect. Now he finally wants to show his true end.
at dusk.
Located in the General Military Mansion in Enki Town, the lights are bright, and elite soldiers of the Akage Army armed with swords and shields can be seen everywhere, constantly patrolling and guarding the surrounding area.
In the Yushan Hall of the mansion.
Yuchi Zhong, with white hair and a red face, sat on the main seat.
His shoulder width is much wider than that of an ordinary person, and his arms are like those of an ape, reaching past his knees. His entire upper body is just sitting there, and his burly figure also gives people a faint ferocious look.
But this ferocity may be very strong to ordinary people, but to a martial artist, it is not conspicuous.
There are many martial arts masters who are more powerful than Yuchi Zhong, but no one would know that the old man in front of them would be the second master of Xuan Jing after Shangguan Ji.
Below the main seat, there are two rows of seats on both sides.
Seated on the seats were the nine Tianyin disciples of the Tianyin Sect, Xie Yan, the deputy sect leader, and Shangguan Ji, who was second only to Yuchi Zhong and was more conspicuous.
After Shangguan Ji took off his armor, his appearance was just that of an elegant scholar. He was taciturn, with watery eyes and a very young face. Compared to Zhou Shun before, his temperament was more reserved.
Among the remaining nine sons of Tianyin, each one has a different image.
Some are as full of fireworks and strong muscles as blacksmiths.
Some have dull faces, like old farmers in the countryside.
There is also a handsome and handsome young man from a wealthy family.
A muscular man with a soft and affectionate look and dazzling eyes.
A white-haired old woman who looks like a beggar holding a golden bowl.
Wait, wait, wait, the various weird temperaments and images of the Nine Sons of Tianyin completely embody the temperaments of nine different martial arts.
And Wan Ling is also among them.
She was wearing a bright yellow corset dress, with emerald green sleeves on her arms, and her waist was tied with a black belt. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her beautiful white neck.
Her pair of water-cut eyes were dark and bright, soft and gentle. It seemed that after leaving the Tianyin Sect, she was in better condition than before.
Without the pressure caused by her daughter's affairs, Wan Ling restored her original gentle and serious style and temperament by cultivating her mind and character.
There were two people standing behind her, one Wan Qingqing and the other Wei He. Both of them were dressed in Wanqing sect costumes and had their long hair tied up.
Wan Ling and Wan Qingqing have similar pretty faces. They look delicate and gentle, not like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.
One of them is plump and the other is pure, which is very eye-catching. In comparison, Wei He becomes a complete foil.
His originally ordinary appearance turned completely into a passerby against the backdrop of the two beauties.
But Wei He didn't care either.
He doesn't like to show off and be in the limelight. This kind of low-key is more in line with his ideas.
"I don't know why, Lord Commander, you summoned us here? Please tell me frankly." As the leader of the sect, Shangguan Ji spoke calmly and was the first to speak.
He is over sixty years old, but he is accomplished in martial arts and has good looks. He looks to be in his thirties or forties at most. His voice is also clear and sharp, which is impressive.
Yuchi Zhong picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Master Shangguan, I remember that you and I had a sparring match many years ago. At that time, I almost lost a move. I admire your sect's martial arts very much."
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating." Shangguan Ji said modestly, "Those of us in the martial arts world are good at small maneuvers and fighting alone. We cannot compare to your skills in killing enemies and defending our country on the battlefield."
"Master Shangguan is too humble. Okay, no more gossip. The reason why I invite you all to come this time is because before, our Chijing Army repelled the invading army and defended the Taizhou Wing, which consumed a lot of money."
Yuchizhong goes straight to the point.
"Nowadays, the military rations are running out. Although there are great help from the wandering families in the city, the Zhou family, and the Wang family, with the harvests failing in various places, the granary storage is insufficient, and I am afraid that there will be a big trouble. So..."
The commander-in-chief glanced at the entire audience.
"So, I heard that you are well-known people with lofty ideals in Xuanjing City. On behalf of the many officers and soldiers of the Chijing Army, I hope to get your support."
Aren’t we just asking for money and food? It sounds so nice.
In fact, before Tianyin Jiuzi came, he had already heard that Yuchizhong kept holding gatherings to summon the gentry and wealthy families to collect donations.
Now, I finally received the Tianyin Gate.
Tianyinmen, as a large family that has been stationed in Xuanjing City for more than a hundred years, has a lot of food hoarding due to the large number of warriors and meat fields.
Compared with ordinary large households, they are much more abundant in materials.
In fact, many people can guess that Yuchi Zhong attacked the Tianyin Sect.
"Sir, my Arc Light Sect lineage is willing to support five thousand stones of brown rice and one thousand kilograms of dried meat from exotic beasts."
"I transform into a Qimen, and I would like to support you with four thousand shi of brown rice and eight hundred kilograms of dried meat from exotic beasts."
"I, Yuan Bingmen, would like to support four thousand stones of brown rice and seven hundred pounds of exotic animal meat..."
"I am approaching the door, wish..."
Each branch spoke one after another, and soon it was the turn of Wan Qing Sect Wan Ling.
Wan Ling also expressed his support according to everyone's level and provided four thousand kilos of brown rice and six hundred kilograms of exotic animal meat.
Only Shangguan Ji and Xie Yan had more support, each with 10,000 shi of rice and 1,000 kilograms of meat.
This kind of support is so strong that it has already emptied half of everyone's wealth.
You must know that Tianyin Sect has accumulated so many resources for so many years, and now they are giving out half of them at once. You can see what everyone means.
One stone of rice is equivalent to one hundred kilograms, which is enough for any average family to feed three people for more than two months.
Not to mention the current food shortage period, this food is even more valuable.
Tianyinmen has been entrenched in Xuanjing City for so many years, and that's all the family's wealth is.
Wan Ling felt heartbroken for giving so much food and meat. But she knew that if she didn't work hard this time, she might not be able to pass the test.
"I can see your sincerity, but it's not enough." Yuchizhong shook his head gently.
"I, the Chijing Army, protect our family and country, but we are here to shield you from the wind and rain, and block the Kaori rebel army. So..."
Except for Shangguan Ji, everyone else's eyes changed slightly. This meant that they wanted to empty out all their wealth.
But although the Tianyin Sect is strong, it is still vulnerable to the Chi Jing Army.
Even a tyrannical man like Zhou Shun could only shoot dozens of muskets at him and was forced to flee injured.
If it were them...look at the hundreds of musketeers surrounded...
Wei He was behind, watching Tianyin Jiuzi and others being helplessly forced to support money and food again.
Seeing their angry and aggrieved expressions, he sighed silently in his heart.
No one dared to refute and resist. Look at the densely packed soldiers around them, the barrels of guns they carry on their backs, and the generals who are guarding the darkness.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
There were more than a dozen light martial artist-level auras nearby, and several of them were veterans whose auras were long and thick, far exceeding the strength of ordinary martial arts masters. They showed off their powerful muscles, clearly showing off their muscles.
Wait until everyone expresses their position again.
Yuchi Zhongcai smiled.
"Okay, thank you all for your strong support to my Chi Jing Army. Next, I have heard for a long time that the masters of Tianyin Sect are extraordinary. Last time I only fought against brother Shangguan. Now the generals of my Chi Jing Army have been fascinated by it for a long time. How about
How about having a martial arts competition next time to add to the fun?"
When he opens his mouth, others naturally dare not say no.
Tianyin Jiuzi and others all responded.
"I'll go out personally. If I get angry and lose my composure, it's better to let the juniors take action. It can be considered as adding to the fun without hurting the harmony." Shangguan Ji suddenly said.
He saw that Yuchizhong wanted to use force to intimidate the Tianyin Sect. But if he was a junior, he would be much gentler and have a buffer.
Yuchizhong stared at him, paused, and then smiled.
"That's good. What Brother Shangguan said makes sense. Let the juniors come out and try their hand at it."
"We also want to see the tricks of the Tianyin Sect." A young man in white armor said loudly from the side.
Some of the martial arts masters in the army are trained by themselves, and some come from big families, such as the three major families.
The ingredients of Tianyinmen are mainly from small and medium-level family wealthy businessmen, and the two parties are not from the same world at all.
One is a mixed army, and the other is a gangster, completely two lines.
Even if they are all practicing martial arts, let the military masters and the underworld masters fight, who is stronger and who is weaker...
This in itself is bullying.
But this is more appropriate than the Nine Sons of Tianyin ending up in person.
