"Little brother?"
Zhong Wen returned to the Lin Mansion after shopping for groceries. When he was about to sort out Zheng Qiyuan's meridians, he found that the shadow of this weak young man had been lost in the room.
"Qi'er said she wanted to go out for a walk alone." Zheng Yueting said in a low tone, "You don't want me to follow you."
Thinking of her brother's empty eyes and low mood when he said this, Zheng Yueting felt quite sad.
"Is he alone?" Zhong Wen said without thinking, "The little guy can't think too hard, right?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Zheng Yueting's face turned pale: "I'll go find him!"
Should I pay attention to my words and actions?
Seeing the girl in green shirt leaving in a hurry, Zhong Wen slapped his forehead, reflected on himself for a second, and then quickly chased after her.
Zheng Yueting came to the door of the house and met Lin Chao who came in from outside.
"Miss Zheng, are you going out?" Brother Lin Chao's eyes lit up and he greeted her with a smile.
"Well, I'll go find Xiao Qi." Zheng Yueting was not familiar with him, and she was so worried that she had no time to chat.
"I just saw Brother Zheng going to the west." Brother Lin Chao did not give up and said persistently, "You are new to the imperial capital and you are not familiar with the place. I will take you there."
"Okay!" Zheng Yueting nodded readily.
Brother Lin Chao felt that this beautiful girl had a clear and sweet voice and a bold and generous temper. She was really likeable. He couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart: "Miss Zheng, please come with me."
The two of them walked out of the Lin Mansion gate one after another and walked quickly towards the west street.
Along the way, Brother Lin Chao smelled the faint fragrance of a girl floating behind him. He felt happy and energetic, and his steps could not help but become much more brisk. He looked like a dragon walking and a tiger leaping, as vigorous as flying.
Miss Zheng is also a disciple of Piaohua Palace. I wonder if I can ask my eldest sister to be a matchmaker for me. If I can get a wife like this, what more can I ask for!
His mind was wandering and thinking, and he soon began to think about how many children he would have with Zheng Yueting in the future. He was a dignified minister, and his thoughts jumped so fast that he was no different from the poor dick of the YY goddess in daily life.
However, after walking around with Zheng Yueting on several streets to the west, he didn't even see Zheng Qiyuan's shadow. Brother Lin Chao's face gradually became a little embarrassed. He glanced at Zheng Yueting beside him, and saw a worried look on the goddess's face. The color became darker, and I couldn't help but feel anxious in my heart.
After passing another street, there was still no trace of Zheng Xiaodi. Brother Lin Chao cleared his throat and was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but he saw Zheng Yueting's expression suddenly condensed, and the lotus steps under her feet moved lightly, turning into an emerald green void. The shadow jumped towards the left corner of the street as fast as lightning.
What speed is this!
Brother Lin Chao only felt the green shadow in front of his eyes flicker, and then he lost the shadow of the goddess. His mouth grew bigger, and he suddenly felt a sense of inferiority in his heart.
My sister is the master of Piaohua Palace!
While cheering himself up, he hurried towards the direction Zheng Yueting left. As he approached the corner of the street, there was a sudden noise in front of him.
Turning the corner, Zheng Yueting's graceful and slender figure appeared in front of her.
"Miss Zheng." Brother Lin Chao came to her side in three steps and two steps at a time. He saw the goddess' fair and pretty face flushed, her teeth biting her lips tightly, her hands clasped tightly together, and her beautiful eyes shot out. Angry light.
Following her line of sight, what caught Brother Lin Chao's eyes was Lian Yutang, the second son of the Minister of War.
Zheng Yueting's baby brother Zheng Qiyuan was lying on the ground, his face was pale, his mouth was bloody, and his chest was severely stepped on by Lian Yutang's right foot.
He hugged Lian Yutang's right calf tightly and tried hard to break it open. However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. In front of Lian Yutang's thick right leg, his thin arms were like shaking a tree and having no effect at all.
At this time, Lian Yutang has been replaced by two guards. Judging from the momentum, they seem to be stronger than the two people who were instantly killed by Zheng Yueting.
Standing on the left side of the four people was a young woman wearing a pink gauze skirt with a curvy front and a hint of charm in her beauty.
There were tears in the corners of the woman's eyes, her lips were white, and there was a look of fear on her face. Her plump body was trembling uncontrollably, looking pitiful and helpless.
Why are you everywhere!
Seeing this situation, Brother Lin Chao still didn't understand that the second master Lian was afraid that he had contracted the disease again, and that Zheng Qiyuan today was exactly the same person he was yesterday, but his situation was a bit more miserable.
"You kid, with such rubbish cultivation, you actually dare to mess with me?" Lian Yutang pinned Zheng Qiyuan firmly to the ground with his right foot, gently patted his pale cheek with the folding fan in his hand, and smiled contemptuously, " Why don't you take a pee and take a look at how much you weigh?"
Zheng Qiyuan tried his best to break away, so he could only stare at Lian Yutang with wide eyes and spit the blood in his mouth towards his face.
"You brat, you're looking for death!" Lian Yutang tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the sneak attack. All the folding fans hit Zheng Qiyuan hard on the face, leaving a bright blood mark, "I don't know how a waste like you can do this. Live to this day!”
Zheng Yueting had long been so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Seeing her younger brother being humiliated, she couldn't bear it. She was about to step forward to teach Lian Yutang a lesson, but her arm was suddenly pulled by someone.
Since she stepped into the Heavenly Wheel, her range of perception has been greatly improved, and she can easily detect the movements of the people around her. At this time, she was unexpectedly approached by someone, and she couldn't help being startled, and turned her head hurriedly. .
"Zhong Wen." Seeing the visitor's lazy smile, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you stopping me?"
"You have protected him for many years." Zhong Wen shook his head and said seriously, "Have you never thought about understanding what kind of person your brother is?"
Zheng Yueting was stunned when she heard this and said unconvinced: "No one knows Qi'er better than me."
"The person closest to you may not be the person who knows you best." Zhong Wen's serious expression lasted only a few seconds before he returned to his playful smile, "Besides, even if he is beaten to death, as long as I am here, he can be revived. What are you afraid of? Just keep observing!"
Zheng Yueting: "..."
If we can save him, do we have to watch him die first?
She was confused by Zhong Wen.
"Snapped!"
After Lian Yutang finished with his forehand, he slapped his backhand again, leaving two deep blood marks on Zheng Qiyuan's face: "You brat, do you accept this?"
"You dare to rob a civilian girl in public, even if I am weak, I can't help you." Zheng Qiyuan felt his cheeks burning and painful, but he did not give in, "There is always someone who can cure you!"
"To tell you the truth, my father is the Minister of War, Lian Juecheng, not to mention that he just took away this Furong girl for two or three days." Lian Yutang laughed loudly, "Even if it takes her life, what can you do to me? "
"Is there no royal law in this Lang Lang world?" Zheng Qiyuan looked sad.
"Silly boy, do you know now that in this imperial capital, I, Lian Yutang, am the king?" Lian Yutang stepped hard, and his earth chakra cultivation burst out, causing Zheng Qiyuan to vomit blood, "You are so weak in strength, but yet You are trying your best to stand out, could it be that you have fallen in love with this girl Furong?"
As he spoke, his lustful eyes glanced at the trembling woman in pink skirt beside him and said: "She has good taste, but it's a pity that only a strong man like me deserves to have such a beautiful woman, and an ant like you , apart from watching my sweetheart lying on my bed having sex, I can do nothing."
"Only, only a person with evil thoughts like you, cough cough cough, would think that everyone in the world has the same dirty thoughts as you." Zheng Qiyuan felt that the force on his chest increased sharply, his bones rattled, and even his breathing changed. It was extremely difficult, "I believe that in this world, there will eventually be justice. People like you will never die a good death!"
Looking at the stubborn expression on the face of the weak and ant-like young man at his feet, Lian Yutang suddenly felt irritated and extremely unhappy, with a hint of murderous intention in his eyes.
"Sister Furong, you, run away!" Zheng Qiyuan used his last strength, hugged Lian Yutang's right leg with both hands, and shouted to the woman in the pink skirt, "Go to the Lin Mansion for help, someone will save you."
Zhong Wen was listening to the conversation between the two, and was secretly applauding Zheng Qiyuan's strength. Suddenly he heard the four words "Sister Furong", and he couldn't laugh or cry. He was instantly shocked. Looking at the beauty in the pink skirt, he felt extremely awkward, and it seemed that she was not as good as before. pretty.
"Since you are stubborn, then go and die." Lian Yutang shook his right leg and easily swung away Zheng Qiyuan's arms. He raised his right hand high, turned the fan into a sword and stabbed him hard in the chest.
Am I going to die?
Zheng Qiyuan felt peaceful, without much sadness or indignation. He slowly closed his eyes and calmly accepted his fate.
"Little brother, do you understand?" A familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.
He opened his eyes and saw that Lian Yutang's fan was about to stab his chest, but suddenly stopped. There was a look of horror on the face of the second master Lian, and his body kept the posture of not stabbing the thorn, and he did not move at all. Do not move.
"Brother Zhong?" He turned his head and saw Zhong Wen's smiling face, "What do you understand?"
"Sister Furong can't get involved... No, she understands the truth of this world." Zhong Wen gently grabbed the clothes on Lian Yutang's shoulders and threw him far away, hitting the ground with a thud. .
The two company guards were horrified. When they came to rescue them, they could not move their bodies even half an inch. They could not even open their mouths to call for help. Only their eyes were rolling around, showing the panic in their hearts.
"Evil prevails over good?" Zheng Qiyuan asked with some uncertainty.
"The weak cannot defeat the strong." Zhong Wen shook his head, took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you don't have enough strength, don't think about seeking justice, otherwise you will only end up with the sad end of 'relatives tearing up'. "
"Brother Zhong, I don't think so." Zheng Qiyuan rarely agreed with Zhong Wen's point of view, "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. People will always encounter opponents stronger than themselves in this life. If they do not implement what they have in mind just because of lack of strength, Faith, what is the difference between that and those who bully the weak and fear the strong, and are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"With a temper like yours, you definitely can't be an official." Zhong Wen laughed and gently relaxed his muscles and blood circulation. "You are not even suitable to be in charge of a cultivation sect, but you can barely be considered a man."
"I'm just talking fast." Zheng Qiyuan's tone was a little low, "With my meager strength, what can I do?"
"Originally, I wanted you to give up martial arts and pursue literature, and find another way out." Zhong Wen slowly stood up, his eyes shining, and his figure looked glorious and majestic under the sunlight. "Now I plan to leave the choice to you. It's up to you." Let’s decide.”
Zheng Qiyuan looked confused and didn't understand what Zhong Wen was talking about.
"I have a powerful elixir that may transform you and greatly increase your qualifications." Zhong Wen said word by word, "But you are inherently deficient. If you take this elixir, you will probably explode and die before the end. Your life is in danger, do you want to take a gamble?"
"Zhong Wen!" Zheng Yueting listened and was shocked.
She guessed that the pill Zhong Wen mentioned was the "I Ching Marrow Cleansing Pill" that allowed her to advance to the Heavenly Wheel. When she thought of the pain she had experienced when taking the medicine, she knew that her brother, who was born with deficiencies, would probably suffer. If you don't go there, you will die.
"Tingting, believe me." Zhong Wen looked into her eyes seriously, "Your brother is a responsible man, and he should have the right to choose his own life."
Zheng Qiyuan struggled to get up, stepped in front of Zhong Wen, knelt down with a pop, kowtowed to him respectfully: "Brother Zhong, I want to become stronger!"
"It's really going to be life-threatening, are you sure?" Zhong Wen touched his belly, feeling like he was transforming into Coach Anxi.
"I don't want to live my whole life so cowardly and inactive." Zheng Qiyuan kowtowed again and said sincerely.
"Okay, you are worthy of being a little brother!" Zhong Wen narrowed his eyes and showed a strange smile on his face, "I won't touch the guy named Lian. When you become stronger, you can solve it yourself!"
"I will."
Zheng Qiyuan showed an extremely determined look on his face.
*************************************************** ***************
Qingyang City, Antai Province.
Among the three major chambers of commerce in the Daqian Empire, the Jingdong Chamber of Commerce has an inextricable relationship with the Holy Land, and has special guarantees on supply and sales channels, giving it a transcendent status.
The branches of the other two major chambers of commerce, "Shengyu Chamber of Commerce" and "Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce", are easily accessible to all corners of the empire. Once one of them establishes a stronghold somewhere, the other will follow closely behind without giving in.
This relationship is quite similar to the M and K records in Zhong Wen's previous life.
However, exceptions always exist. Just as there is only Shengyu in Fufeng City and no Yinhuan, in Qingyang City, the "Yinhuan Trading Company" is the only one, leaving no room for other forces to intervene.
At this time, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the Qingyang branch of the Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce.
The woman is dressed in white as snow, with long hair like a waterfall, and a slim figure. Her face is covered with a thin gauze scarf, which hides her appearance, revealing only a pair of charming big eyes.
"Damn little brother, you followed Palace Master Lin to the imperial capital to be happy, but you left these dirty jobs to me." The woman murmured and complained as she slowly walked into the main entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
It turns out that this woman is Shangguan Junyi who just made a big fuss in Yuxu Sect.
According to Zhong Wen and Nangong Ling's plan, after she destroyed the Yuxu Sect, a major supporter of the Xiao family, she had to "take care of" the business of the Yinhuan Chamber of Commerce along the way.
"This distinguished guest, is there anything I can do for you?" There are not many customers in the Qingyang branch. A girl in red came forward respectfully. Although Shangguan Junyi was masked, her demeanor was It was so extraordinary that the girl did not dare to despise it at all.
"Who is responsible for keeping the spirit crystal tickets here?" Shangguan Junyi never thought that he would ask such a question in his lifetime.
Girl in red: "...?"
She didn't expect that a customer would ask such a question. She was stunned for a long time and then hesitantly said: "Of course, it will be kept by shopkeeper Fan himself."
"Take me to see him." Shangguan Junyi's voice was soft, but his tone was unquestionable.
"This... this..." The girl in red was a little at a loss.
"What's wrong?" A strong man saw something was wrong and strode to the girl's side, "Is there a problem?"
"Brother Long, this distinguished guest said he wants to see Shopkeeper Fan." The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the big man.
"Guest, if you need anything, just ask Hongluan directly. Shopkeeper Fan rarely personally intervenes in the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce." The big man whom the girl called "Brother Long" looked straight at Shangguan Junyi and said, with a flash in his eyes. A hint of sternness.
"It's really troublesome." Shangguan Junyi sighed, and with a light tap of his jade finger, the big man let out a scream, his eyes widened, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. He slowly fell backwards, and soon lost his breath.
The girl Hong Luan screamed in surprise, attracting the attention of the surrounding guests.
"Take me to see Shopkeeper Fan." Shangguan Junyi glanced at the girl with his beautiful eyes, "If you don't want to end up like him."
"Yes...yes..." The girl walked in front obediently, her legs and feet kept trembling, her slender body was shaky, as if she would fall if the wind blew.
Along the way, many chamber of commerce guards noticed the strange behavior of the girl and stepped forward to inquire. However, they were pointed down by Shangguan Junyi and fell to the ground immediately. The surrounding guests were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Many people in the chamber of commerce were Soon it was empty, with only two figures of two women, one red and one white, slowly moving forward...
"Are you Shopkeeper Fan?" Shangguan Junyi asked softly, looking at the fat middle-aged man in front of him.
"The girl is...?" Shopkeeper Fan was quite dissatisfied with Hong Luan for bringing a stranger into his room without his consent, but he didn't show it on his face at all.
"I'm here to rob." As soon as he said these words, Shangguan Junyi felt that his integrity as a spiritual master had been shattered and he could no longer put it together, "Hand over the spiritual crystal ticket!"
"Who sent you here?" Shopkeeper Fan narrowed his eyes and his voice became deeper.
Two black figures appeared beside him, each holding a sword in their hands, and their bodies exuded a powerful aura of heavenly chakras.
"I don't want to say it a second time." Shangguan Junyi said softly, "Hand over the spirit crystal ticket."
"Take it!" Shopkeeper Fan gave the order, and the two Tianlun masters flashed towards Shangguan Junyi.
"It's really troublesome." She sighed, stretched out her delicate hand again, and tapped it twice.
"Plop! Plop!"
In the astonished eyes of Shopkeeper Fan, the two famous Tianlun masters fell to the ground one after another before they got within ten feet of Shangguan Junyi, motionless, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.
"You...you..." Shopkeeper Fan is no longer as calm as before. His face is pale, his whole body is trembling, and there is fear in his eyes.
"Can you hand over the spirit crystal ticket?" Shangguan Junyi said calmly.
Shopkeeper Fan took out the key, silently opened the iron box behind him, took out a dozen thick spirit crystal tickets, and handed them to Shangguan Junyi respectfully.
"You are a smart person." Shangguan Junyi took the spirit crystal ticket and put it in his arms without looking at it, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "I like to deal with smart people."
As she spoke, she turned around, moved her steps lightly, and disappeared outside the house.
Contact the Xiao family as soon as possible!
Shopkeeper Fan had a ruthless look in his eyes and made a prompt decision. He took out a pen and paper and started writing a letter.
Suddenly, a black vortex the size of his head appeared in front of him. Looking at it intently, the center of the rapidly rotating vortex seemed to be bottomless, revealing endless depth and mystery.
The vortex grew bigger and bigger, and soon Shopkeeper Fan was sucked in. Even his skin and bones were crushed into dregs of flesh, and not even a drop of blood was spilled...
"If it weren't for Xiaodie..." In the air outside the building, listening to the screams of girls coming from inside the Chamber of Commerce, Shangguan Junyi shook his head helplessly, took out a map from his arms, and glanced at the marks on it. "Next stop, Yunjin Province, Pingshan City."
She gently took a step forward, and her figure in white clothes quickly blended into the space between heaven and earth, and was no longer visible.
