For Shen Qing, the process of breakthrough seemed to have taken a long time, but in the eyes of the inner courtyard disciples, it was only five or six breaths.

In such a short time, they did not know the fact that Shen Qing had broken through.

Most people just watched the excitement, but some disciples with sharp eyes vaguely noticed some subtle changes in Shen Qing.

But that was all.

They all knew Shen Qing's background more or less. Except for a little surprise and envy, and some emotions on their faces, there was no so-called shock.

After Shen Qing finished his work, the onlookers quickly withdrew their gazes and concentrated on practicing the body skills.

The crackling sound of slapping and hitting the wooden man pile reappeared in the inner courtyard.

Shen Qing, who had already mastered the body skills, did not mean to show off. He digested the changes in his physical and mental breakthroughs, collected his mind, and walked quickly towards the outer courtyard pharmacy.

The so-called pharmacy in Linfeng Hall is just a small compartment converted from the servants' housing.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a brick wall with medicine cabinets hanging on it, which are filled with various medicinal materials and filled with strong medicinal fragrance.

There are three stoves in the center of the room. At this time, there is a medicine jar in each stove that is gurgling with hot steam, and the bitter smell of medicine keeps entering Shen Qing's nose.

Ah Fu stood in front of the medicine jar, adding a little firewood from time to time. He noticed the movement at the door, looked back and smiled: "Junior Brother Shen came to see me, what's the matter?"

Shen Qing clasped his fists and said: "Is the senior brother in the yard today?"

At present, Lingfengzhi's body movement has been broken through, so he must practice the next fighting method, stretching and training bones.

Since the master handed him over to Ouyang Tiezhu, if he wants to learn, he can only find him.

Ah Fu picked up a thin branch from the side, broke it into several pieces and stuffed it into the bottom of the stove, added some fire and said: "Big Brother went out to deal with your Seventh Master's Wife."

Seventh Master's Wife? Aunt?

Shen Qing frowned and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Aunt? Has she been feeling unwell recently?"

Ah Fu sighed and said: "Last time on the way back from Jifu Temple, we were ambushed by the Mi Gang and the fetus was lost."

"Ah?" Shen Qing was shocked and hurried forward to ask: "What happened?"

After Ah Fu added fire to the remaining two stoves, he clapped his hands and stood up and said: "Do you know how many masters' wives our master has?"

"My aunt is the Seventh Master's Wife, there must be seven!" Shen Qing said almost without thinking.

"Now there are three."

Shen Qing looked at Ah Fu with surprise: "Why three?"

Ah Fu was very pleased with Shen Qing's expression: "Master's wife died of illness when Master was not yet successful. Second and third masters' wives were killed by enemies, and a young master and a young lady died with them."

"Sixth master's wife died of dystocia, leaving only fourth, fifth and seventh masters' wives."

After hearing this, Shen Qing didn't know how to answer.

"Your aunt encountered a similar thing." Ah Fu looked as if he was not surprised: "There is no way, our master was born in a low family and relied on his fists and feet to gain a foothold in the county. It is normal to have enemies."

Shen Qing asked: "What's the matter with the Mi Gang?"

"It's a long story."

"You'll make it short."

"..." Ah Fu's face was stunned, and his neck seemed to be pinched by someone, and a lot of words were stuffed back with a mallet.

He mumbled twice and said depressedly: "The Rice Gang was originally just a small gang in the city, but last year the old county magistrate died and the court sent a new county magistrate. They got the government's connection and now control part of the rice business in the county, becoming a big gang. It's like a glove gang supported by the current government."

"They specialize in doing shady things for the government. Our master used to work for the previous county government, and his relationship with the new government is a bit awkward. In addition, the master killed a son of the leader of the Rice Gang before, So... this happened. "

Shen Qing listened to the general situation and understood some of the reasons. He asked: "How strong is the leader of the Mi Gang? Can our master beat him?"

"In the past, he was on par with our master. Now that they have connections with the government, it's hard to say." Ah Fu said with a worried tone: "The disciples and forces of the Mi Gang are much stronger than us. Alas... I heard that they are going to take action against us. This time your aunt's incident is a signal."

Shen Qing could hear that the situation of Linfeng Hall was not very good.

Otherwise, Ah Fu's tone would not be so depressed.

Shen Qing sighed helplessly in his heart.

Since you are here, make the best of it.

The major martial arts halls and gangs in the county look at money, background, and talent.

If he wants to learn martial arts, he doesn't have many choices. Even if he goes in, the treatment will not be much better than here.

First learn the skills honestly.

At this time, a maid came in from outside and interrupted the two people: "Is the medicine ready?"

"Yes, I poured it into the food box for Miss Dongxue to keep warm." Ah Fu took out a square food box and said.

The maid Dongxue took the food box and turned around to leave without staying.

Shen Qing hurriedly called out: "Wait a minute, my dear sister."

The maid Dongxue turned around and looked up and down at Shen Qing and said: "What's the matter?"

"I am the nephew of Qi Niangzi, and she is my aunt. I just heard about my aunt and want to visit her in the backyard. Please let my good sister pass on the message."

"Wait, I'll go ask." The maid Dongxue said, and then set off towards the backyard of the Li family.

After the maid Dongxue left, Shen Qing hurried to the outer courtyard to find Shen Xiaohu, gave him some silver and asked him to buy nourishing things without stopping.

A moment later, Shen Xiaohu bought some red dates, longans, black sesame seeds, astragalus, brown sugar and other foods that are better for women, and handed them to Shen Qing.

Just in time, the maid Dongxue came back and said, "The master allows you to visit Qi Niang. Follow me and I'll take you in."

"Thank you."

Shen Qing carried large and small bags and followed the maid Dongxue to the backyard.

Linfeng Hall has a total of three courtyards.

Li Linfeng and his female relatives all lived in the third courtyard.

After walking for a while, Shen Qing was brought to the door of a wing room.

The maid Dongxue walked up, knocked on the door and said, "Qiniang, your nephew is here and wants to come in to see you."

"Come in!"

A familiar female voice came from inside the room, sounding a little listless and weak.

The maid Dongxue pushed open the wooden door of the wing room for Shen Qing and moved aside.

Shen Qing nodded, thanked her, stepped over the threshold, and walked in quickly.
