I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 101 Bai Lao asks for help and puts things to rest?

After Taoist Tongtian returned to the capital, the Tongtian Tower began to be built, but Ling Feng did not see each other again after sparring with him once.

He is still living a life of two points and one line in Tianxin Palace and Library.

until this day.

On a whim, he wanted to go out to the palace for some fun.

Although he was worshiped by the imperial court, he was not restricted and could enter and exit the palace freely. On this day, he walked out of the palace and came to the bustling streets.

Although he is considered a master, most common people have never seen him.

In addition, he practiced the Qi Condensation Technique, and his breath was restrained, just like an ordinary person.

He blended in and traveled around the city.

Shopping, eating snacks, watching the scenery...

Then he came to a construction site in the royal capital, where hundreds of workers were busy building a tower to the sky.

The prototype of Tongtiantai has not yet been built, but the various materials piled on the ground are already dazzling.

You can imagine how majestic this tower will be after it is built.

It is estimated that it will become the first building in the royal capital.

However, Ling Feng also noticed that some people complained about the construction of the Tongtian Tower. After all, it was just an altar.

It is uninhabitable and does not help people's livelihood.

They didn't know what they were building for.

All I know is that building this thing is extremely time consuming in terms of manpower and material resources.

Although there are complaints, they are not many. The Tongtian Tower has just begun to be built, so there is not much pressure on the people yet.

Basically, it's the residents who live nearby who can't stand the noisy construction noise all day long, so they say a few words.

Ling Feng looked at the Tongtian Tower for a while, and he also looked forward to whether this high platform would really have the effect of stabilizing the national destiny after it was built.

After leaving.

He continued to wander around the capital and came to a street where he found a new store opening with the sound of firecrackers.

Come up and take a look.

Huh.

Good guy, it’s a Qingfeng Restaurant.

It is the property of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce, and the other party's business has reached the capital.

"I don't know if Ruomei has come to the royal capital..."

Ling Feng was thoughtful.

The royal capital is the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, extending in all directions. If you want to develop business here, Liu Ruomei, the helmsman, will most likely come in person.

After entering the inn, he found a seat and ordered some wine and food.

Sitting by the window minding his own business.

Drinking wine, eating vegetables, watching the busy traffic on the street outside, and having nothing to do, he took out a book from the sapphire ring and read it.

Most of the day passed in a blink of an eye.

Ling Feng, who was reading a book, suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure walking into the restaurant out of the corner of his eye. The person was talking to the owner of the restaurant.

Ling Feng glanced at the other party and smiled slightly.

That beautiful figure was none other than Liu Ruomei. Then he noticed that besides Lao Bai, there was also a young man in Chinese clothes beside him.

The man looked at Liu Ruomei with a somewhat unseemly look.

Chat with Liu Ruomei from time to time.

Liu Ruomei only occasionally responded with a few words, and there was a little impatience between her brows, but for some reason, she did not get angry.

Several diners nearby started talking quietly.

"Did you see that woman? She is the big boss behind Qingfeng Restaurant. I heard that not only this restaurant, but also several properties in the capital belong to her, including cloth shops, medicine shops, auction houses..."

"Moreover, do you know that the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce is the chamber of commerce that has gained the most momentum in recent years? Her business is not only in the royal capital, but has spread across all counties."

"She can be regarded as one of the richest women in our Zhou Dynasty."

"The young man next to her seems to be... the young master of the Zhang family?"

"It is Zhang Yue, the young master of the first aristocratic family in the capital. His grandfather is the Minister of Household Affairs of the current dynasty, his father is the head of the Zhang family, and his aunt is the queen of the current dynasty. His background is so great that no one in the capital can be compared. It’s about...”

Ling Feng's eyes flickered as he listened to the words of the people around him.

Zhang Yue...

Although he has lived in the palace for a long time and lives in seclusion, he has occasionally heard the maids mention this person. This person has a great background and can even go in and out of the palace.

But the reputation of this person is not very good.

Bullying men and dominating women, doing evil things, there were even several maids in the palace who were harmed by the other party, but they were suppressed by the other party's background.

To dare to be so arrogant in the palace, one can imagine the character of this person.

Now that he is following Liu Ruomei, his purpose is self-evident.

A hint of coldness flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.

Although his relationship with Liu Ruomei has not developed further, the other party is still someone who works for him.

Rounding it all off, it equals his people.

If the other party dares to reach out to him, he won't mind chopping off the other party's hands!
He did not recognize Liu Ruomei immediately, but the Qi Condensing Technique was running, condensing the breath so perfectly that it seemed to turn into a ball of air.

Liu Ruomei and others did not notice him.

The other party left after saying a few words to the shopkeeper, heading to Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce's next property in the capital.

Ling Feng drank a glass of wine, stood up and followed the other party.

Along the way, Zhang Yue talked to Liu Ruomei from time to time, and Liu Ruomei became more and more impatient with him.

Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and said: "Master Zhang, I still have things to do. I can't greet you. Could you please leave first?"

"It doesn't matter, I just need to stay with you. You don't need to greet me. It's a pleasure for me to follow you and watch you do things."

He looked at Liu Ruomei affectionately.

Give the other party a chill.

"Master Zhang, I am going to have a meeting with Shopkeeper Lin and others. The content involves some business secrets. It is inconvenient for outsiders to follow. Please leave."

Liu Ruomei took a deep breath and said coldly.

Zhang Yue wanted to follow, but was stopped by Bai Lao.

"Young master, please respect yourself."

Bai Lao said lightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Ruomei's retreating back with some nostalgia, then withdrew his gaze, glanced at Bai Lao, and chuckled: "Oh, how long can you protect an old and frail Xiantian?"

After hearing this, Bai Lao's eyes gradually turned cold.

When the other party said this, was he threatening him?
Before he could ask clearly, Zhang Yue turned around and left.

Bai Lao pondered for a moment.

Then he followed Liu Ruomei and said with some worry: "Miss, this Zhang Yue doesn't seem to let you go easily."

"Send a message to Alliance Leader Li and ask him to send someone to the royal capital."

Liu Ruomei said.

Over the years, the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, and the Martial Arts Alliance has helped Ling Feng out of consideration for this.

In addition to this, Liu Ruomei has also had a lot of cooperation with the Wulin Alliance based on her own abilities, and the relationship between them is not bad.

Especially with Li Ziyi, they have become close friends.

Now, when she came to the capital to develop, she encountered such a problem as Zhang Yue, who had a huge background. She could only ask the Wulin Alliance for help.

"Even if it is the Zhang family, they still have to sell the Wulin Alliance's face. I just hope that Zhang Yue will not go too far before the people from the Wulin Alliance come."

Liu Ruomei rubbed her eyebrows.

Bai Lao sighed at the side: "It would be great if the young master is here. If he is here, even if there are ten Zhang families, there is no need to worry."

"Oh, why did I hear someone talking about me?"

At this time, a chuckle came from beside Mr. Bai.

The familiar voice made both of them couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they looked towards the source of the sound. When they saw Ling Feng, they were extremely excited.

"It's really you, Master!"

"Son!"

The two of them rushed towards Ling Feng.

"Let's find a place to talk."

Ling Feng smiled slightly and found a restaurant to catch up with the two of them.

Originally, Liu Ruomei wanted to find the shopkeepers of a few more shops, but after seeing Ling Feng coming, she simply postponed these matters for now.

Inside the restaurant.

Ling Feng and Liu Ruomei had a great conversation.

The three of them were drinking and talking. Liu Ruomei outlined the future business map for Ling Feng, her eyes shining as she spoke.

Full of confidence in the future.

"Sir, I am confident that in the near future, Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce's business will flourish throughout the Great Week."

Liu Ruomei clenched her pink fists, her brows full of energy.

Hearing this, Ling Feng smiled lightly and said, "I have confidence in you."

If Liu Ruomei was the only one, it might be difficult, but with his support behind him, the other party's dream would no longer be a dream.

but reality.

After talking about Liu Ruomei, Ling Feng looked at Bai Lao. The other person's cultivation level was no different from a few years ago. He was still at the innate level.

This is not difficult to understand.

The other party was already old and frail, making it difficult for him to advance further. He was able to break through to the Xiantian realm only with the help of his elixirs.

Thinking of the elixir, Ling Feng also thought that he hadn't made an elixir for a while.

In order to prevent hand injuries, he asked Liu Ruomei to prepare a batch of medicinal materials for him.

Liu Ruomei naturally agreed happily.

The elixirs refined by Ling Feng were very useful. In addition to using some of them for Ling Feng himself, she could also auction some of them.

Very helpful to Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce.

"By the way, I live in the palace now. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the palace to find me." Ling Feng said.

"This... palace is such an important place, I'm afraid we can't come in and out at will."

Bai Lao said.

Ling Feng thought so, and said: "In this case, if you have something to do, just put a pot of orchid next to the stone lion at the entrance of the palace.

If I see you, I will naturally come to you.

In addition, you can also prepare some cloud-penetrating arrows and the like. In an emergency, send them out near the palace so I can see them. "

The first contact method can be used when it is not so urgent.

He would go to the library every day and pass by the palace gate. If he paid a little attention, he could see something strange at the palace gate.

The second contact method is for urgent situations.

Although firing cloud-penetrating arrows near the palace would offend the majesty of the palace, as a master, he had the ability to protect the two of them.After hearing this, the two nodded and said they would prepare.

After reminiscing about old times.

Ling Feng did not stay long and returned to the palace.

It was agreed that three days later, they would come back to get the medicinal materials.

…………

the second night.

A figure was running hurriedly on the street. That person was Bai Lao. At this moment, he had scars on his body and his breath was weak.

Behind him, several figures were chasing after him.

All the way to the edge of the palace.

One of the masters who was chasing Bai Lao could not help but frown slightly when he saw him running to the palace, "This guy is so good, what is he doing here at the palace?"

"Does he have anything to rely on in the palace?"

Several people looked at each other.

I feel like things are a little unexpected.

After Bai Lao arrived near the palace, he took out a cloud-penetrating arrow from his arms, held it up and fired towards the Tiangong.

Whoosh!
The cloud-piercing arrow flew into the air and exploded, creating a brilliant ball of fireworks.

This scene attracted the attention of many guards in the palace.

"Who lit the fireworks next to the palace?!"

"How dare you!"

The Praetorian Guards rushed towards the fireworks.

And the experts who were chasing Bai Lao couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's going on? Is this person seeking death? Isn't he provoking the palace by firing cloud-piercing arrows here? No matter how important he is in the palace, he can't escape a heavy punishment!" the leader frowned.

In order to avoid a direct conflict with the palace guards, several people did not take action anymore, but hid nearby and waited to see what would happen.

soon.

The palace guards came one by one and surrounded Mr. Bai, who had already suffered a lot of injuries. The injured Mr. Bai had no strength to resist.

He allowed many guards to point their weapons at him.

"Old guy, who are you? Do you want to die?"

The leading guard is a man with a resolute face.

He looked icy.

"The incident happened suddenly, and I had no choice but to do so. When my young master comes, I will naturally explain it to the general." Bai Lao said helplessly.

"Even if a first-class official provokes the palace, he will be severely punished or even executed. Who is your young master? Can I save you? Do you know that I will execute you on the spot now, and your young master will have nothing to say! "

The leading guard drew out his long sword and said with a cold expression.

When the few people observing in secret saw this scene, they all urged the other party to take action quickly, which also saved them time.

Seeing the leading guard draw his sword, Bai Lao felt a chill in his heart. He could sense the strength of the guard and it was definitely not something he could withstand.

If the opponent wants to kill him, it probably only takes one or two moves.

"Commander Lin, this person is one of mine, please be generous."

at this time.

A calm voice sounded. Behind the guards, Ling Feng slowly walked over. Seeing him, many of the guards couldn't help but stand in awe.

Commander Lin's pupils shrank slightly, "Ling worships!"

"Commander Lin, this person came to me in an emergency, so he had no choice but to take this step. If there is any offense, I will apologize on his behalf. As for Your Majesty, I will personally go and explain." Ling Feng said with a faint smile. .

Hearing this, Commander Lin hesitated for a moment, and soon made a decision, "Since it is Ling's person, I will not deal with it. I will just set off gunpowder next to the palace. Please go to His Majesty as soon as possible to explain this matter." .”

A grandmaster will not offend someone if he can.

"it is good."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, then moved his sword finger and fired several sword energy towards the corner in the darkness, forcing the few people who were observing secretly out.

These people could hide it from other guards, but they couldn't hide it from him.

The sword energy was so sharp that when he was forced out, his body was more or less injured, and many guards immediately surrounded him.

After seeing clearly that these people were all holding weapons, Commander Lin's face darkened, "You are sneaking around outside the palace and holding weapons. You are so audacious. You said, who sent you here to do what you want?" What?!"

"They are from the Zhang family!"

At this time, Mr. Bai spoke from the side and said to Ling Feng: "Master, I failed to protect the young lady. She was captured by Zhang Yue's people. Please rescue her quickly."

Ling Feng suddenly realized.

No wonder Bai Lao didn't hesitate to break the law to find him.

It turned out that something happened to Liu Ruomei.

A cold look flashed in his eyes, "Just stay here for a while. With Commander Lin and many guards, no one can do anything to you.

As for Ruomei, I will personally visit the Zhang family. "

Whoosh!
His figure disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

But no one present could discover how he left.

"The Zhang family...things are getting a bit serious now."

Commander Lin heard what Mr. Bai said to Ling Feng, and he couldn't help but feel a little chilled in his heart. He knew that a conflict between the Zhang family and a grandmaster would definitely be a big event that could shock the entire royal capital!
He thought for a moment and said to Mr. Bai: "Old sir, please go aside and have a good rest. Don't worry, we are here and we can't touch you."

"Thank you Commander."

Bai Lao bowed his hands in thanks.

He was also slightly surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Ling Feng had such prestige in the palace that even the commander of the imperial guards would be polite to him.

"Old sir, you're welcome. Ling Gongfeng once gave me some advice, so this is what I should do." Commander Lin smiled lightly.

A grandmaster came to the palace. Many martial arts practitioners were naturally extremely curious about his strength and martial arts.

Commander Lin was no exception and had visited Ling Feng.

In just a few words, the other party pointed out the flaws in the martial arts he had learned and improved them to make his strength even higher.

He sincerely admired Ling Feng.

Not to hold Bai Lao accountable, in addition to giving face to the grandmaster, one of the reasons was that he had received Ling Feng's kindness.

the other side.

The first aristocratic family in the royal capital, the Zhang family.

A Xiantian realm master was carrying back a drugged and limp woman. That woman was none other than Liu Ruomei.

Zhang Yue had been waiting for a long time, and his eyes lit up when he saw Liu Ruomei, "As expected of my Zhang family's innate, Uncle Li, your strength is indeed extraordinary. By the way, where is the old and frail innate next to her?"

"He was slapped by me and ran away after being seriously injured. I asked Wang Er and the others to chase him. With their strength, it would be easy to kill a seriously injured old man. I believe he will be back soon. "

"Run away? Ha, I thought that old guy was so loyal to you. It turns out that he was also greedy for life and afraid of death. He abandoned you at the moment of life and death." Zhang Yue said to Liu Ruomei.

Liu Ruomei was too weak to talk to him, but looking at Zhang Yue was like looking at a dead person.

She naturally knew why Bai Lao wanted to escape.

He also knew that once Ling Feng knew about this, he would never sit idly by.

Even though the Zhang family is the number one family in the capital.

But in front of the young master, all the aristocratic families are nothing but chickens and dogs.

Her indifference and look in her eyes made Zhang Yue frown slightly, "What kind of look are you looking at? You were indifferent to me before. Now, you still have this attitude when you come to my Zhang Mansion, or are you just here?" Pretend to be calm."

Liu Ruomei did not respond to him.

Zhang Yue smiled faintly and ignored him, "Very good, I want to see if you still look this cold in bed later."

"It's late at night. If you don't sleep, what are you doing here?"

At this moment, a voice came.

A middle-aged man in black clothes came over. When he saw Liu Ruomei, he probably understood what was going on.

He glared at Zhang Yue fiercely, "You are a worthless thing, you know how to cause trouble all day long and rob good women!"

"Dad, this time is different. I am helping us this time."

"What do you mean?"

"Dad, do you know who this woman is in front of you? She is the president of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce! Dad, didn't you say before that the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce is rising rapidly and will become the main competitor of the Zhang family in the future?

I will capture her immediately. When the time comes, the opponent will become my own family, and the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce will belong to our Zhang family! "

Zhang Yue said somewhat proudly.

Hearing his logic, the head of the Zhang family laughed angrily and slapped the other party on the face, "You idiot!! Do you know the background of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce? How dare you arrest her!"

Zhang Yue was stunned, "She, isn't she a businessman?"

"Businessman? Can an ordinary businessman develop his business to all counties in the Zhou Dynasty in just a few years? I have already investigated it. There is probably a martial arts alliance behind her! You want me, the Zhang family, to follow Will the Wulin League match up?
To take a step back, even if there is no martial arts alliance behind the other party, can a woman who can do such a big business be the one who can be so obedient to you and be used by my Zhang family just by sleeping with her?
What if she harbors hatred but doesn't show it, takes this opportunity to enter the Zhang family, secretly manipulates and destroys my Zhang family?
Just because you want to suppress such a strong woman?It’s simply a fool’s dream! "The head of the Zhang family was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Zhang Yue frowned and felt that it made some sense, "If that's the case, then I'll just sleep with her and kill her after I sleep to avoid future troubles!"

Hearing this, the head of the Zhang family slapped Zhang Yue again and said coldly: "If you weren't my son, I would have cut you into pieces!"

Then he looked at Uncle Li and said coldly: "He is fooling around, are you going to accompany him to fool around? Why don't you put President Liu down quickly!"

"Yes."

Uncle Li quickly responded and put Liu Ruomei down properly.

But the other person's body was limp and he couldn't stand firmly. He could only hold on to the wall.

"President Liu, the dog is ignorant and has disturbed you."

The head of the Zhang family accompanied him with a smile.

But Liu Ruomei's face was full of indifference.

"President Liu, if you can manage the business of Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce to such an extent, you should understand that in the business field, it is better to have one more friend than multiple enemies. Today's matter was caused by my fault with the Zhang family, but after all, he He's my son. Please don't pursue it any further. There may be opportunities for you and my Zhang family to cooperate in the future.

Of course, if you insist on pursuing it...

I, the Zhang family, have the means to bring you to my house, and naturally I have the ability to bring you to my house a second time, a third time..."

The head of the Zhang family said calmly, with a hint of threat in his words.

He is not afraid of the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce.

Instead, they are afraid of the martial arts alliance behind the other party.

Of course, he is also confident that even if Liu Ruomei is killed, the Zhang family will be fine. The Wulin Alliance will definitely not fight with them over a woman.

The reason why I let him go was because I thought it would be better to do less than to do more.

After all, Zhang Yue hadn't had time to do anything to Liu Ruomei yet.

There is still room for change in this matter today.

Liu Ruomei naturally knew that fighting with the Zhang family would not bring any benefit to the Wulin Alliance or the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce, but would only cause countless troubles.

Now she has not suffered any real harm.

The best way is to let it go and pretend that nothing happened.

Although she was unwilling to do so, she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the sake of the Chamber of Commerce.

But she hasn't spoken yet.

The Zhang family's door exploded with a bang!
