Hedao

Chapter 231
Cui Mansion, southwest, the courtyard where Qin Ziling lived, the East Wing.

Qin Ziling took the hot towel that Shao E handed over, wiped his face, and asked, "Madam, are they all up?"

"We're all up, waiting for the young master to have breakfast together." Shao E replied.

"Why are you waiting for me to have breakfast? Didn't I say it last night, everything is optional, and my time is unpredictable." Qin Ziling frowned slightly, and handed the towel to Shao E.

"The old lady also said it, but the old lady disagreed and said that she must wait for you." Shao E put the towel on her face and went to fetch a blue coat for Qin Ziling to put on.

In the Xisheng Mountain cave, Qin Ziling was somewhat used to Xia Yan's service, so seeing Shao E taking the initiative to help him put on his coat, he hesitated for a while, and let her play with it.

Shao E's movements were gentle, she was beautiful, and she had a good figure. Although Qin Ziling didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about her, she still enjoyed the feeling of having such a gentle woman by her side.

"Oh, I've fallen!" Qin Ziling soon noticed the change in his mentality, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

"Good morning, Young Master Qin!"

As soon as Qin Ziling stepped into the main hall, which was the dining place, he saw more than a dozen people, big and small, men and women, bowing to him and saying hello to him, with expressions of awe in their eyes. Only his grandfather and mother Cui were sitting there. move.

"Good morning, uncle, aunt! Good morning, cousins! Let's all sit down and eat together." Seeing this, Qin Ziling hurriedly replied.

But no one sat down.

"Ziling, you're here, sit on Grandpa's side." At this moment, Cui Bohan waved to Qin Ziling.

Qin Ziling strode forward, greeted Cui Bohan and Cui Shi first, and then sat down next to Cui Bohan.

"Sit down, everyone." Cui Bohan waved to his sons, daughters and grandchildren after seeing Qin Ziling take his seat.

Only then did everyone take their seats.

"Grandpa, you are all from your own family, so there is no need to see others like this." Qin Ziling said unnaturally upon seeing this.

"Courtesy is undeniable! Once Grandpa leaves, these useless children and grandchildren will be entrusted to you in the future, and you will be their patriarch! Their master!" Cui Bohan said with a serious face.

"Early in the morning, grandpa, don't say such unlucky words. You are only 64 years old this year. It is only because of problems with your practice and the hard work of these years that the root cause of the disease has fallen. I have a lot of nursing As long as grandpa takes some of the good things in his body every day and takes good care of them, he will definitely be able to..." Qin Ziling said hastily.

"It's unnecessary! Since your grandma left, I've actually lived like a walking dead. Now that I can see that wicked woman getting punishment and retribution, and you are so promising, Kuncheng and the others have someone they can trust. Already very pleased.

The only thing I am worried about now is that the wicked woman's father and the Hou family will definitely not let it go, they will definitely come to seek revenge.As long as I can see you and your grandpa deal with this matter, I will feel at ease to reunite with your grandma. They have been alone underground for too long. "Cui Bohan didn't wait for Qin Ziling to finish speaking, and interrupted with a wave of his hand.

Cui Bohan's other two concubines could not bear the humiliation, and they had passed away one after another a few years ago.

Qin Ziling's lips moved, trying to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him.

A person's heart is already dead in this world, so what's the point of letting him survive?
"Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely not treat uncle and the others badly." Qin Ziling suppressed the sadness surging in his heart, and said seriously.

"Okay, okay! With your words, I really feel relieved. But you don't have to flatter them too much. I don't think they are any good material. You can give them a bite to eat in the future so that they won't Just wandering the streets and being bullied by others." Cui Bohan said tearfully.

"Uncles, aunts, and aunts are already past the age of cultivation, and it is basically impossible to have hope. Several cousins ​​are still teenagers. They can also train a few martial artists from them, and it will be easy to have the ability to protect themselves and support themselves in the future. As for whether they can go further, it depends on them." Qin Ziling said truthfully.

"It's good enough, it's good enough! If it wasn't for the fact that the Wen family and the Hou family came to seek revenge, with your words, grandpa could leave with a smile on his face." Cui Bohan said excitedly.

And Cui Kuncheng and others were all very excited when they heard the words, tears rolled in their eyes.

Their life outside the city these years is worse than that of Cui Yun.At least Cui Yun had maids and servants at her disposal back then, and she could be regarded as the wife of a wealthy family. They were driven out of the city, and these years they were begging for life in the fields.

Cui Kuncheng originally inherited Cui Bohan's handsome appearance, but now his skin is rough and dark. He doesn't have the slightest temperament of a child of a big family, he is simply a simple farmer.

Now that Qin Ziling said that he would train a few martial artists among their children, how could this not make them extremely excited?
"Father, don't say these unlucky words, let's eat, the children are probably starving!" Cui Yun secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said.

"Alright, eat, eat." Cui Bohan nodded with a smile.

Not long after the whole family had eaten, Cui Boming and Cui Shanhe's grandparents came together.

"Wen Chuansen and his wife and Cui Kunhu have rushed to the county from Mount Taihuang!" Cui Boming said solemnly.

"Are you going to fight?" Qin Ziling asked, gently turning the teacup in his hand.

"Not so fast. The Cui family, the Hou family, and the Biyunzong are the three top powers in Qinghe County, and they involve too much. If we really want to fight, each of us must first build momentum and test the attitudes of the other big powers. Some people have to find someone to help them fight.

In order to avoid wartime, one party bullies the less with more, or loses and refuses to admit it, or loses and becomes angry and fights regardless of the agreement.Therefore, this matter will take at least seven or eight days. "Cui Boming replied.

"Grandpa and cousin came to see me early in the morning, I thought a war was about to start!" Qin Ziling laughed when he heard this.

"Zi Ling, are you really sure?" Cui Boming saw that Qin Ziling's face was relaxed and free from the tension before the big battle, so he couldn't help but worry about gain and loss.

"I said I'm sure, does grandpa believe it?" Qin Ziling asked without answering.

Cui Boming was taken aback by the question, and then said: "Why don't you compete with Shanhe and see?"

"At this point, no matter what the outcome of the sparring is, it's an inevitable decision. It will affect the state of mind instead, so there's no need to waste it." Qin Ziling waved his hands.

"No wonder you have such cultivation and skills at such a young age. With your mentality, I am not as good as you." Cui Boming said slightly moved.

Qin Ziling smiled.

Where the strength lies, can my mentality not be strong?
Of course, Qin Ziling definitely couldn't say this.

"Since you are not going to compete with me, you don't have to worry about other things, just leave them to me and grandpa." Cui Shanhe took over the conversation and said.

"I'm just an unknown junior. I don't have a clue about other matters. Naturally, I can leave it to you to decide. However, my grandmother's name rectification and the relocation of the grave must be done in a smooth manner, so I have to trouble Grandpa. Come out and help with your cousin," Qin Ziling said.

"That's natural." Cui Boming and Cui Shanhe both replied with serious faces.

Next, Qin Ziling ordered Shao E to invite Cui Baihan and his mother, Cui Yun, to discuss the rectification of grandma's name and the relocation of her grave.

When Su Bingqian was demoted to a concubine, she not only died depressed, but her grave was not allowed to enter the Cui family's cemetery.

This matter must be dealt with while Cui Bohan is still alive, to settle his old man's worries.

……

In a blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

In the past seven days, many restaurants and teahouses in Qinghe County have been talking about Cui Baihan's divorce of his wife, rectification of his dead wife's name, relocation of the grave for a grand burial, and the appointment of the Cui family with the elders of Biyun Zongwen and the Hou family to settle their grievances. .

The Cui family had kept a low profile for many years, but suddenly they became so high profile, which caused a great commotion.

Some people give a thumbs up to Cui Boming's grandfather and grandson, thinking that they are not afraid of power, dare to stand up for Cui Bohan, and forcibly challenge the two major forces of the Hou family and the elders of Biyun Zongwen.

There are even more people who think that the Cui family is overconfident, overwhelmed, and broken, and they will probably decline completely after this battle.

After all, the strength of both sides is there. The Hou family now has two great martial artists in the late stage of bone refining, and nine great martial artists in the early and middle stages of bone refining.Elder Wen Chuansen of the Biyun Sect is a great Qi refiner in the late True Yuan period. Although his wife Hou Hanxue is far less famous than Wen Chuansen, she is actually an elder of the Biyun Sect and a great Qi refiner in the middle Zhenyuan period.

When Hou Hanxue joined the Biyun Sect, she was regarded as a leader among the younger generation. At that time, Wen Chuansen was not as good as her, but she came from behind and became a great Qi refiner in the late stage of Zhenyuan.

The two of them also have some powerful disciples under their names.

Moreover, apart from so many strong people in these two families, Cui Kunhu has now clearly expressed his attitude to seek justice for his mother. In this way, Hou and Wen's two families have added a great Qi refiner in the middle stage of true essence.

As for the Cui family, since Cui Boming's eldest son and second son passed away one after another, there is only Cui Boming, a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, and there are only six great martial artists in the early and middle stages of bone refining. very big.

And this time the competition is precisely the competition at the top level!

As for Qin Ziling who came out of the Cui family, no one was talking about it outside.

Firstly, Qin Ziling didn't want to make a high profile, so the Cui family could only keep a low profile and try to help block the news.

Secondly, Qin Ziling, an unknown young man, not only beat Wen Hongfeng into a pig-headed three, but also abolished her cultivation. This is a shameful shame for the Hou family and the Wen family. Wen Chuansen was also planning to use the big to bully the small, and personally suppress Qin Ziling, a junior. If the news got out, it would be embarrassing for the Hou family and the Wen family.

So the Hou family and the Wen family also intentionally or unintentionally blocked the news about Qin Ziling.

As a result, Qin Ziling, the most important person behind this incident, was dramatically ignored.

……

Cui Mansion, lobby.

The crowd gathers.

The members of the Cui family, including Qin Ziling, sat in a row on the left, and those who were invited to help or fight the formation sat in a row on the right.

On the side of the Cui family, Cui Boming sat at the head, followed by the head of the family, Cui Shanhe, and then Qin Ziling and two elders who were in the middle stage of bone refining and who were over seventy-seven years old.

On the opposite side, sitting at the top is Jianbailou, the Supreme Elder of Jin Jianzong, and at the bottom of Jianbailou is a big man with broad shoulders, thick back, majestic body, thick eyebrows and thick hair. He looks about 40 years old.

Although this big man is only in his forties, his cultivation is already in the late stage of bone refining, and his aura is extremely powerful. Just sitting there gives people a feeling of majestic and unshakable.

Sitting under the big man is Xiao Qing, the Magistrate of Fangshuo County.Below Xiao Qing is a middle-aged man with a goatee, a handsome face, and a refined temperament. This man is in the middle stage of bone refining.

The eyes of the four helpers on the right were all focused on Qin Ziling.

Jian Bailou and Xiao Qing's gazes were subtle.

Before Jianbailou came, he didn't know that Qin Ziling was there. He and Cui Boming had fought side by side when they were young, and the situation of the two families was similar, so it was natural for the two families to join forces in the Dragon Vein last time.

This time Cui Boming personally went to Jinjian Mountain to invite him to help hold the battle for the Cui family. At that time, he even said that the other party was powerful, worried that they would bully others and play tricks, and he, a master of swordsmanship, was needed to hold the line. come.

In the end, Jianbailou never expected that his disciple Qin Ziling was on the side of the Cui family camp.

Thinking of Qin Ziling killing three ghost envoys in a row that night, especially when killing the second ghost envoy was like chopping vegetables, Jian Bailou felt very strange in his heart.

With Qin Ziling around, Cui Boming was still worried. He should be worried for the Wen family and the Hou family!

Xiao Qing knew that Qin Ziling was involved in this trip.

Because Cui Shanhe mentioned Qin Ziling when he invited her, so Xiao Qing came without saying a word.

Just looking at Qin Ziling's unfamiliar posture and thinking of his methods, Xiao Qing wanted to laugh again and began to mourn for the Wen family and the Hou family early.

How much you want to court death, to have a fight with her big brother!

The big man and the elegant man were simply surprised that Qin Ziling was sitting on top of the two elders of the Cui family at such a young age!
"Zi Ling, you are a newcomer, let me introduce you." Cui Boming said at the right time, "This is Jian Bailou, the Supreme Elder of the Golden Sword Sect. If he hadn't been injured by a sneak attack by the Demon Sect 21 years ago, he should be a grandmaster by now. Yes. Brother Jian, this is Qin Ziling, the grandson of my brother Bo Han. The cause of this incident is also related to him, and he is the real main force in this competition."

"So it's Senior Jian, this junior has admired his name for a long time, like thunder!" Qin Ziling hurriedly got up and bowed to Jian Bailou to the end.

"So it's Xiaoyou Qin, what a formidable young man!" Jian Bailou watched Qin Ziling bow to the end, pretending, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he stroked his beard quickly.

"This is Guo Weijie, the Chief Disciple of Master Zhen of Flying Star Sect. He was a close friend of your late uncle." Then Cui Boming introduced the big man sitting at the bottom of Jianbai Building.

Qin Ziling heard that the big man in front of him turned out to be the eldest disciple of Yen Zidan, the three major martial arts masters in Xiyun Prefecture, so he didn't dare to neglect him, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"This is Xiao Qing, the governor of Fangcha County. The Xiao family is somewhat related to my Cui family." Cui Boming continued to introduce.

Because of the presence of outsiders, the relationship between Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing must not be exposed.

"I've heard of the name of Sheriff Xiao for a long time, but now I see him, he really looks extraordinary!" Qin Ziling cupped his hands.

Guo Weijie frowned slightly when he saw Qin Ziling seeing the pretty woman's slack-legged posture, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

And Xiao Qing naturally pretended to return the gift, but secretly gave him a white look.

"This is Mr. Ma Zhang Bingma, a classicist in Xiyun Prefecture, and a colleague and friend of your late second uncle in the state city."

"Thank you, Lord Ma, for being invited here!" Qin Ziling cupped his hands and saluted.

"Nephew Qin Xian, you're being polite. Your second uncle and I were like brothers back then. The Cui family has something to do, so come here now." Ma Zhangbing replied politely.

After introducing the two parties, everyone saluted and sat down again.

"In this competition, we both agreed to fight for five rounds. I, Shanhe, and Ziling will definitely fight, and the rest will depend on the battle situation. If the battle situation is not good for us, I'm afraid I will have to trouble County Sheriff Xiao to represent my Cui family." Let's play a battle. Although my two clan brothers are in the middle stage of bone refining, but the foundation laid in those years is mediocre, and now they are old, and their combat power is definitely not as good as that of Xiao Junshou." Cui Shanhe cupped his hands at Xiao Qing.

"The younger generation is duty-bound!" Xiao Qing cupped his hands with a serious face, but curled his lips disapprovingly in his heart.

With my elder brother here, one person can sweep away, so why do I need to take action!
Seeing that Xiao Qing agreed without hesitation, Jian Bailou looked at Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling thoughtfully, while Guo Weijie and Ma Zhangbing showed a hint of surprise on their faces, and their eyes on Cui Boming suddenly became a little different.

The outside world said that the Cui family has fallen, but the Cui family is still not simple.

Cui Shanhe is already a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining, with a solid foundation, in his prime of life, and his strength is comparable to that of an ordinary great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining.Although this Qin Ziling couldn't see the depth, but judging by the posture that Cui Boming valued, his strength might not be inferior to Cui Shanhe's. The key was youth!

Looking at Xiao Qing's posture now, she is the only one who follows the lead of the Cui family, so the Cui family has Fangqiang County as their rear.

On the surface, the Cui family has little chance of winning this battle, but if the Cui family really wins, with so many rising stars, the Cui family may take advantage of the momentum!
Next, Cui Boming said some scene words, and it was about the end of the time, and everyone set off for Dong's martial arts field outside the east city.

In this competition, as the intermediary, it was Dong Batian, the head of the Dong family, one of the four major families in Qinghe County, who was also the sheriff of Qinghe County, who presided over justice.

The Dong family's Martial Arts Field located outside the east city covers an area of ​​[-] mu, surrounded by blue brick and stone walls.

When everyone arrived, the outside was already heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to approach.

Dong Batian lived up to his name, with a majestic figure and a full beard. He looked extremely mighty and domineering.

Dong Batian, as the intermediary who presided over justice, invited the head of the Han family in Qinghe County, as well as several other relatively powerful leaders to come to watch the battle and testify.

When these people saw Cui Boming and his party coming, they all stood up and waved their hands to say hello.

Only the Hou family and the Wen family remained motionless.

　Today is a chapter of [-] words. Sorry, I have been coughing for a while now. It has become a little bit worse in the past two days, and I can’t get up.
