As dusk approached, another clerk returned to Taihe Trading Company to report the whereabouts of the Qin family's father and son.
What Shao Xi and Lao Wu didn't expect was that the news they received this time was that the Qin family father and son had settled in an abandoned temple ten miles outside the northern suburbs of Huaichang City.
What surprised Shao Xi was that he didn't expect that the father and son were walking very slowly. It only took half a day. They had already walked ten miles. It seemed that the martial arts of the father and son were not weak.
However, looking for a place to stay so early may be due to years of pampering. Although I walked quickly, I couldn't last because I was walking.
After getting the news, Shao Xi decided to set off with Lao Wu immediately to chase out of the city before the city gate closed at nightfall.
Ten miles away from the city is far enough. A ruined temple in the wilderness with no village in front and no store behind it is indeed a perfect place to start.
So after saying goodbye to shopkeeper Lu, the two of them rode out of the city on horseback. After leaving the city, the two of them slowed down just to wait for dark.
It was already dusk when they set out, so it started to get dark not long after leaving the city. Because the two were riding horses, the ten miles away didn't feel that far.
By the time the two of them saw the ruined temple in front of them, it was completely dark, and they could only see the faint flash of fire in the ruined temple.
Presumably, the father and son had built a bonfire for lighting and warmth. After all, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was quite chilly to spend the night here.
Shao Xi and the two came to the ruined temple and tied up their horses. Old Wu also knew what would happen if he walked in soon, so he took out his short sword and hid it in his sleeve, hiding outside the door of the ruined temple, waiting. Shao Xi asked him to come in at any time.
At this time, it was the father and son of the Qin family who were warming themselves up in the ruined temple.
During the day, the two of them packed up their belongings at home and left the house where they had lived for many years. They bought some cakes as dry food in a roadside shop and left Huaichang City heading north.
This was also what the father and son had discussed before leaving. Now that the Qin family has reached such a state, only he and his son no longer have the need to stay in Huaichang City.
In Huaichang City back then, although his Qin family was extremely prosperous, they had indeed harmed many people in order to accumulate family wealth over the years. He and his son had caused the family to go bankrupt, and many families had been ruined. There were even incidents of forcing good girls into prostitution.
After doing all these unscrupulous things, and now that I am down and out, if I stay in the city, I will be laughed at. It is better to leave this place altogether.
Looking for a place where no one knew him and his son, even if they were begging on the street, they would not be laughed at. I have to say that their plan was indeed guessed by Shao Xi.
Although the two of them have no clear destination at the moment, their journey north is clear.
Because Qin Yuezong made his fortune in Yuanzhou, and he was more familiar with it than other places, so the father and son planned to continue to try their luck in Yuanzhou, hoping to make a comeback one day.
In fact, with the martial arts skills of his father and son, it would not be a problem to find a job as a guard to make a living. But after being a master for so many years, how can he make a living by relying on others?
Instead of serving as guards for others, they would rather beg on the street and be free beggars. This is to save face and suffer, so some people's thoughts cannot be judged by common sense.
At this time, the father and son were sitting by the campfire, eating cakes in their hands and drinking cold water from the water bag. Although Qin Miao was reluctant in every way, he did not dare to complain at all. After all, his father had not said anything. !
Qin Yuezong also suffered hardships when he was young. Although he is somewhat unwilling to accept this situation now, he can only choose to endure it when facing the reality.
The father and son seemed to have nothing to say, they just ate their own dry food in silence. The atmosphere at this moment was extremely depressing, and their silence seemed to embody two words - unwillingness!
"Old Mrs. Qin and Boss Qin are so excited! I didn't expect that they would choose such a special place to experience the life of poor people when the night is as cold as water. Are they planning to prepare for future business in advance? ?”
Qin Yuezong and his son both trembled when they heard this voice. They will never forget this voice. The owner of this voice has made them bankrupt and living in this ruined temple. But at this moment, suddenly Appear.
The first feeling in the two people's hearts was actually a little bit of fear, because they knew that as long as this person appeared, nothing good would happen, but then anger overshadowed all emotions and flooded their hearts.
Isn't this the person who caused them to end up like this? I can’t find it even though I’m looking for it! I didn't expect that he would actually come to my door now.
If this person could be killed at this time, not only would he avenge the Qin family, but he would also be able to recover the 20,000 taels of silver from his body.
If that is the case, the Qin family can regain its former glory.
Nowadays, the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom is no longer the most important. As long as they can get back the 20,000 taels of silver, it will be the greatest victory in life for Qin Yuezong and his son.
The father and son looked at Shao Xi who was walking into the ruined temple door with a murderous look at the same time. This was him! It was this man who caused misfortune to both father and son.
Qin Yuezong and Qin Miao wanted to peel off Shao Xi's skin, cramp his muscles, break his bones and suck out his marrow! He actually dared to appear, and appeared in front of him so blatantly, with a look of ridicule on his face.
Qin Miao was the first to jump up. He glared at Shao Xi with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth.
At this time, Qin Yuezong was filled with resentment, but he still managed to stay calm. He stood up slowly and stood with his hands behind his back, his face as sinking as water and his eyes cold.
"Young Master Shao is really good at it! With only a gold medal and a bead from the big shopkeeper of Taihe Trading Company, and a clever trick from Young Master Shao, he managed to fool my father and son around each other.
"Not only did he defraud me of the Qin family's property, but he also rescued Wei Ping. It was indeed a clever plan that killed two birds with one stone. It seems that Mr. Shao has been planning on my Qin family for a long time. The plan was so detailed and the implementation was perfect. In one ring, Mr. Shao is indeed an expert.
"I just want to know what Mr. Shao has to do with my Qin family today? If you have anything to say today, you might as well say it directly. Anyway, only one of you and me can walk out of this ruined temple tonight, and there is no one between us. There is no need to be secretive anymore.”
Qin Yuezong's meaning was very clear. Someone must stay in this ruined temple tonight, but no matter who wanted to stay here, he hoped to make his words clear.
He still had some confidence in his heart when he said this. After all, he was already in the middle stage of fifth grade, and ordinary people in the world were really no match for him.
So when he said this, he was actually telling Shao Xi that if you tell the truth today, you will die, and if you don't tell the truth, you will die. Since he has a way to torture Weiping for more than 20 years, he will have a way to torture you. Force you to speak the truth.
He planned well, but he never dreamed that the young man in front of him had already entered the "Qi Transformation Realm". Even if he and his son joined forces, they would not be able to survive a round in front of him.
Shao Xi seemed to be very patient. He was not angry when Qin Yuezong spoke like this. Instead, he was smiling all over his face.
"Mr. Qin, there is no need to be so excited. As the saying goes, the law of nature is clear and there will be no retribution. You and your Qin family father and son should know better than anyone else what they have done in these years.
"Don't think too highly of yourselves. I didn't know you and my son before I came to visit you. It's just my impromptu decision to deal with you. You, the Qin family, are not qualified to let me spend more time and energy on making plans.
"What I did was just to make you pay for the evil you did back then."
When Qin Yuezong heard what Shao Xi said, his heart moved, and he thought to himself that his guess was indeed good! It seemed that this person was the helper invited by his second junior brother, not only to rescue Wei Ping, but also to take revenge on himself.
"I have indeed offended many people over the years, but there is only one person who can take revenge on my Qin family and know where Wei Ping is imprisoned. Now that he is here, why don't you show your face? You and I haven't seen each other for many years, don't you want to Come in and catch up on old times?”
At this time, the words had been spoken so clearly that Old Wu, who was hiding outside the door, no longer needed to hide, so he walked into the ruined temple and stood in front of Qin Yuezong, staring at him with his eyes.
The former fellow disciples finally stood in front of each other again because of the grudge that happened more than 20 years ago, but this time it was a fight to the death.
Old Wu fled back then, firstly to survive, and secondly to have a chance to rescue his junior brother Wei Ping in the future. Now that Wei Ping has been rescued, for Old Wu, the regrets he had suffered many years ago have been made up for.
Facing his senior brother Qin Yuezong today, he will no longer choose to escape. No matter life or death, he must make a decision today.
"Thankfully, I didn't die in your hands more than twenty years ago. Today I finally have the opportunity to see you end up like this. Wei Ping has been rescued by me. You will never find him again in this life."
Qin Yuezong raised his head and laughed, his eyes not only cold but also flashed with the greed of the past.
"I didn't expect that the second junior brother was also interested in the Wuhai national treasure. It seems that you rescued Weiping because of the treasure map, right? Don't tell me about the friendship between the same family. You, Wu Jian, have always been a loner. When did you care so much? Over your own senior brothers?"
Before Lao Wu could speak, Shao Xi answered from the side: "Don't think that everyone is as greedy and shameless as you and your son, with hearts like snakes and scorpions! The two of us who rescued you have never thought about getting that treasure map. , but it’s enviable to say that Senior Wei gave me the treasure map for nothing.”
With that said, Shao Xi took out the treasure map from his arms and weighed it in his hands in front of the Qin family father and son, full of provocation.
Qin Yuezong and Qin Miao looked at the Wuhai Kingdom treasure map in Shao Xi's hand, and their eyes were red at this time.
