Health Martial Saints: Start With Soaking Your Feet

Chapter 98: Ninety-seven: Drive the Tiger and Eat the Wolf

The lobby of Xu Mansion.

The five clan elders in the family gathered together with serious faces.

Xu Congrong stood in the center with a look of displeasure. At this moment, he only had one sentence in his mind, "People who are kind-hearted all their lives don't know it. Once they make mistakes, the world will hear about them."

Thinking that Xu Congrong has been studying poetry and books since he was a child, not to mention being rich in learning, with his family relationship, it is more than enough to get a good name in the exam. But his father refused to let him be an official. From the name he gave him, he could think of the expectations of the elders for him.

But his talent in martial arts is not as good as that of his eldest brother, who was arranged by the family to practice in the army, while he can only be in charge of the family's logistics, doing business things that he doesn't like to do.

But he was never one to compromise.

Let him do business, and he will definitely push the Xu family's wealth to new heights.

He did it, and he did better and better, and the various industries run by the family gradually began to transfer to his hands.

He is kind to others and willing to do good.

Without the arrogance of the disciples of the aristocratic family, everyone praised him for his good character and ability, and he had created a great reputation in Kunpeng City.

But these are of no use.

If he made the slightest mistake, he would be dragged into the hall for interrogation by this group of old men.

"...It was that bitch who seduced me. I couldn't control it for a while, and I lost my vigilance and was plotted against."

He was wronged and settled the matter with one sentence.

The five elders were on top, looking at him with a serious expression.

After a while, Dazu said: "Forget it, let's leave this matter at that."

After all, Xu Congrong is also a great-grandson of his lineage, so he can still kill him.

Generals are selected from the short ones, and the juniors are becoming more and more useless.

It is true that one generation is not as good as the previous generation, and it is far worse than they were at that time.

"But what happened has caused a great blow to my Xu family's reputation. Especially since your father has just gone to Beidu to take up his post, I'm afraid he will become a laughing stock among his colleagues because of this incident, but the influence needs to be eliminated."

"Xu Congrong, you should think behind closed doors for half a year."

When Xu Congrong heard this, he felt depressed for a while, but couldn't speak.

He could only reply respectfully: "Yes, great grandfather."

"But the family business cannot stop. Do you have any good successors?"

"Sanfang's child, Shu Cong, is not bad. He has studied in Beidu Hanhai Academy for three years, so he can be transferred back home to take over." The third ancestor suggested.

The second patriarch also said: "I have an impression of Shu Cong, but isn't Shu Heng better? He entered Ruhai Academy, which is a direct descendant of the culture."

"Ruhai Academy has a bright future. Wouldn't it be overqualified to go home at this time? Besides, the child may not be willing. I just read books." The third ancestor insisted.

"Hmph, the family needs him, how can he decide whether he is willing or not."

A few people discussed again, the debate was not big, they just casually raised a point or two for the descendants of their lineage.

After all, in the eyes of several people, it is not a big deal.

In the end, it came to a conclusion that both Shu Cong and Shu Heng should come back.

Two great talents working together, they will not be worse than Xu Congrong.

Moreover, the power is dispersed, so if this kind of thing happens again, it will not be messed up.

The fifth patriarch, who has always been in charge of the family's external security affairs, is the youngest and more energetic, so external information is naturally his duty. At this time, he said: "According to the information obtained by witnesses at the scene, there was an old beggar who was driving around the carriage. After a circle, the servants didn't find anything unusual?"

Xu Congrong looked embarrassed, "Going back to Grandpa Fifth, at that time... I really didn't notice any abnormalities at that time."

The fourth patriarch mainly maintains the internal security of the family, and said: "Old fifth, don't embarrass him. How can someone who can quietly set up such an enchantment be easily detected by him at the eighth rank. Think about it again, Cong Rong, But are there any other clues that you have ignored, or which forces are secretly targeting you, or targeting our Xu family?"

Xu Congrong was silent for a while, thinking about the situation at that time, even though he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush.

That void barrier seemed to isolate the two worlds, and trapped him for an hour.

At the beginning, the seventh-rank ecstasy guards came, and they were helpless against the void barrier.

After that, I invited the master of my father and brother, my third uncle.

He is the one with the highest martial arts cultivation in the previous generation, and has reached the sixth-rank Baodan state.

However, he was also very embarrassed about this enchantment, but he was not convinced, and the stalemate lasted for a long time, which made Xu Congrong more concerned.

Later, as a last resort, I had to invite my grandfather's generation.

The third grandpa is still at home, his old man is already in the fifth-rank Yugang realm, and his gestures are like heavenly knives.

Xu Congrong still remembered the shock when the knife fell, the entire void was trembling, the surrounding ground was shattered, and even the city walls were cracked with several ripples. It also attracted the attention of the Metropolitan Government and ordered them to repair the city wall afterwards.

Nahe~

The void barrier remained motionless.

It's really embarrassing for the boss, now even the governor's mansion knows him.

Thinking that he, Xu Congrong, is also a frequent visitor in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and he is someone who can sit at the same table with the Young Metropolitan Governor and His Royal Highness, so I'm afraid he will be shunned now.

In the end, it was the Fifth Patriarch who came out and broke the void with his palm and rescued him.

End this farce and let the embarrassment stop.

This incident, as far as the folks are concerned, is just a hot topic after dinner.

Maybe it will be lively for a long time, and someone will remember it.

But there are hidden worries in the family, especially the inadvertent exposure of the background of a thousand-year-old family.

Just imagine: random ancestors come out, that is, the state of seeing gods is not bad.

Even the bearer of the Lantern Division doesn't have such strength.

Who knows if there is an older guy still alive behind the Xu family.

Ping Bai made many forces in the city fear the Xu family.

Xu Congrong thought about it carefully for a long time. Except for some powerful children, his circle was all in the business field. There are many people who have conflicts, but he doesn't think these people can threaten him.

In the final analysis, the void barrier was still too shocking.

The family is already guessing whether there is an enemy spying on the Xu family in secret, and they are very concerned about this matter, otherwise it will not attract the scene of the five ancestors coming together.

He also can't talk nonsense about a business partner, Li Suian's head flashed in his mind for a moment. Killing people with a borrowed knife is a pleasure, but in the future, he has already handed over the business in the family, and he will make peace with him again.

If he did this, if he was wrongly investigated and dealt with afterwards, it would only make him lose his reputation in the eyes of the clan elders.

Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "Fourth Grandpa, Cong Rong really can't think of who it is?"

Several clan elders looked at each other, and they all had guesses in their hearts.

But it's a little unpredictable.

How can an aristocratic family have few enemies.

In the end, the great ancestor said: "This matter must be dealt with carefully. Fourth and fifth, you have been strictly investigating hidden dangers recently, and your actions are more subtle. Our Xu family has not received such attention for a long time."

"yes, Sir."

The two bowed their promises.

"Xu Youwei, what are you going to do with it?" the Fourth Patriarch said suddenly.

Xu Congrong asked strangely: "What happened to Youwei?"

Just let her disappear from now on.

Xu Youwei is also within three generations of blood, this kind of thing is a scandal, so he must not be allowed to marry.

The fourth patriarch knocked on the chair, "Xu Youwei is already pregnant, he is your flesh and blood. Your fourth uncle died fighting for the family, and I am responsible for the internal security of the family. I can't turn a blind eye to this and let his descendants feel cold. I will give you time, you Handle it carefully, and try to give your third uncle an explanation."

Xu Congrong was buzzing in his head, and it took him a while to realize, "...Yes."

...

Guijutang.

Li Suian respectfully poured tea for Huang Henian.

Huang Henian looked at him with great interest, "The old man missed his mark. I didn't expect you to be a Neixiu and improve martial arts so fast!"

"How did you break through the Ancestral Aperture of the Divine Court?"

Li Suian said with a serious face: "Master Huang, I don't know if I have inner bones. Anyway, after practicing martial arts, I can digest everything quickly."

"When I discovered this, I have been trying my best to find various cultivation resources."

"In the past six months, I have eaten countless pills, monster meat, spiritual rice, spiritual materials, etc. I have almost exhausted the rest of my family's wealth, and now I still have a headache."

"As for breaking through the ancestral aperture of the Shenting, it's not very difficult."

"I remember that it was snowing heavily that day. After a good night's sleep, I was full of energy. I felt applauded between my eyebrows, and my whole body's energy and blood were spontaneously mobilized, and then it broke open naturally. At that time, I didn't know what happened. After all, I even quenched my body. It’s not all done.”

"It was only after being instructed by Master Baihu that I realized that I had the talent of the soul. She told me that there are indeed some people in this world who can enter the spirit first and then temper the body. This is a gift."

"At that time, I was a little happy. Fortunately, I was able to restrain my temper and not be too Zhang Yang. Master Baihu recommended me to join the Lantern Division and participate in the Lantern Envoy assessment. But I don't have the magic method, so I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the Lantern Envoy. It's time for the assessment." He made a disappointed expression.

Huang Henian smiled thoughtfully, "This is also your chance."

"Presumably you have also realized the benefits of the turtle-snake breathing power. Even if your juniors face warriors of the same rank who are much bigger than you, they can easily defeat them. This is the turtle-snake power, maybe it is not as good as those The famous magical power is powerful, but it is no worse than any other martial arts in terms of strengthening the foundation, tempering the body and extending the vitality."

"yes!"

Li Suian said solemnly: "Compared with other Qi Jin, I feel the magic of the Tortoise and Snake Breathing Qi. If Master Huang hadn't taught the Turtle and Snake Qi Jin, I'm afraid Suian is still confused."

Huang Henian stroked his beard and said, "Idiot, if you hadn't gone through setbacks and tribulations, how could you wake up overnight."

"This is your Li family's accumulated blessings from generation to generation. It's a blessing. As for the method of refining gods, it is not impossible. If the old man asks you now, do you still want to worship the old man as a teacher, what do you think?"

Li Suian made a look of joy, "Master Huang, would you like to teach me the method of refining gods?"

"Disciple pays homage to Master."

Kneel three times and knock nine times on the spot.

But Huang Henian dragged him back, "Don't be busy, the old man accepts apprentices so casually, and it won't be too late to make a decision after the matter of the brewery is resolved."

After chatting with Huang Henian for a long time, Li Suian left Guishoutang.

After going a long way, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He used to want to stay in Guishoutang every day, but now he doesn't go there very often, of course because he can't learn new things from Guishoutang.

But more, it was his own reasons: for some reason, when he faced Huang Henian now, he always felt a little depressed.

This has never been done before.

But all the pasts of the two parties have intersected, Huang Henian did not do anything wrong to him, on the contrary, he was very kind.

Because of this, it made him more emotionally complicated.

Li Suian went home and took a look at the widow Xiao, and gave her some advice. Xiao Xiaoci's health has improved a lot, and she can already move slightly independently. Knowing that Li Suian is doing something, she is very considerate so that he doesn't have to worry.

As expected of the widow Xiao, she just loves the man.

Li Suian returned to Dongcheng that night.

Facing the Kitano Gang, he didn't feel too worried.

So what about the Beiye Gang, if they fight, they will fight, what's wrong?

You have to ask, who gave him the confidence?

Then ask the Xu family.

He almost died laughing.

A trick of "Empty Escape · Draw the ground as a prison" directly forced out the boss of the fourth-rank God-seeing Realm.

Although the background of the old family is shocking, it also proves the strength of the space barrier. Only the fourth rank can break the void.

How is this... damn it!

...

That night, he came to the White Tiger Hall of the Ax Gang alone, and begged to see Hu Zilai, the head of the White Tiger Hall.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Hu Zilai greeted him enthusiastically. He still dressed like a farmer, spoke in a rough voice, and had a bold attribute, "Oh, brother Sui'an. Why do you bring things with you when you come to the old man's place? Nope."

But he enthusiastically took the two jars of wine that Li Suian was carrying, "Old wine, authentic, good wine!"

Li Suian is also a little smiling fox, "The last time when the ghosts besieged the city, I said goodbye to the city wall. I said that I must invite Brother Hu to drink if I have a chance. I just came here today when I have free time."

"Okay, my brother has a heart, hurry up and invite me inside, we two brothers have a good chat. You really showed a big face today, and the old man almost made my jaw drop."

Li Suian smiled wryly, "My brother is laughing at me, I might trouble my brother about this matter."

"Don't bother, don't bother."

Hu Zilai probably guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't show it at all on his face, he waved, "So who, go get me some appetizers. Today, I want to get drunk with my little brother. "

soon.

The two toasted and exchanged cups, pushed and exchanged cups and drank.

"Sure enough, it's a wine maker. This wine is strong enough."

Li Suian said: "Strength is not top-notch. Drunken Spring Breeze is at best good in terms of softness, purity, fragrance, softness, and strength. In terms of pure strength, it is still not as good. I don't know if my brother knows a kind of strong wine. It's called Xuehan Mountain."

"I know, the wine and meat in the Black Stone Collection is brewed by the Buddha. But the wine is heartburning after drinking too much, and it is not as refreshing as the drunk spring breeze from your house."

"That's true."

He can also be regarded as an expert in wine, and he will not belittle himself.

After chatting for a while, Li Suian straight to the point, "Brother, you know me well, Suian is a businessman, and he only wants to run his own wine business honestly in this life, but some people don't want to see others live a solid life. "

"Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a man of flesh and blood."

"Today, on the spur of the moment, I did a bloody and stupid thing. Right now, there is a brothel and a casino in the east of the city under my temporary management. But the Beiye gang is powerful after all. Although they are not afraid of him, if they really get into trouble, every now and then Make trouble for me once, and this business can’t be done.”

"I heard that the Beiye Gang and Baihutang have a long history of enmity, and I want to hand over these two venues to my brother, but I don't know if my brother will dare to take over?"

After hearing this, Hu Zilai slapped his hand on the table with a "slap", "Brother, you are looking at people through the crack of the door. You can't see your brother for nothing. I just wait for you to say something. I will help you with this." No one can come. Let's go!"

After speaking, he took Li Suian's arm and walked out.

When he came to the courtyard, Li Suian saw a group of black men standing outside. Neat clothes, neat leather armor, and weapons. There are so many people standing, but there is no sound at the scene, which shows that they are well-trained.

Under the illumination of the surrounding braziers, this group of warriors had a chilling atmosphere.

Hu Zilai said: "I'm not going to hide it from my brother, I, Baihutang, lost an important backbone earlier, and I have already had several fights with the Beiye Gang. According to the leader of the gang, it is a small matter. But who am I, Hu Zilai? The ghost besieging the city would rather go to battle in person than let my brother take the lead."

"Now my brother has been hacked, but there is nowhere to take revenge. It's not my style to hold back. I have been thinking about fighting him for a long time, but I have been worrying about that, and I haven't found it. Opportunity. I didn’t think about it, but I called you a businessman, and I picked half of the Sirius team.”

"Today, I want you to know that our Ax Gang has achieved the scale it has today, not by oppressing the common people."

After finishing speaking, Hu Zilai put his hands on his hips and came to the front of the battle, "Little ones, if anyone feels unwell tonight, I will allow him to withdraw, and we will not hold him accountable afterwards."

"Hoohoo~"

The night wind blew the brazier, and the venue was solemn and no one moved.

"Set off!"

There are no inspiring speeches of "the wind rises, the clouds fly, and the warriors guard the four directions", and there are no generous rewards to boost morale, but the heroic temperament is fully displayed in every gesture.

Under his order, the whole White Tiger Hall uttered three low shouts in unison.

"Tiger~" "Tiger~" "Tiger~"

The whole team immediately moved silently.

Orders and regulations prohibit, elite night march.

Li Suian was in admiration, the ginger was still old and spicy.

"It turns out that brother, you have already made up your mind to destroy the Sirius group. If you are dispatched tonight, can you wait a little longer, I still have a few senior brothers in Ruyifang."

Hu Zilai's eyes lit up and said, "Is the swordsman on the city wall there?"

Li Suian said: "Brother Mu is naturally there."

Hu Zilai said: "That brother's sword skills are amazing."

"Okay, my brother won't turn your back on you. But the underground world also has to follow the rules, and it's okay to be an unknown teacher. You have already robbed two places of the Beiye Gang during the day, so it is not appropriate to take action at night. Otherwise, the Beiye Gang will regard it as Foreign enemies have invaded, and if they fail, they will dispatch all the staff to destroy your brewery first."

"How about this, if you serve as a guest minister in my White Tiger Hall, you can be regarded as a famous teacher. The rest of the brothers will also bear the mark of my White Tiger Hall."

Li Suian said with a smile: "All according to my brother's arrangement."

Soon, he went back and joined Mu Zhou, Cheng Lin, and Xiang Donglai.

The four of them were all dressed in Baihutang's clothes and equipment, and followed the army.

There were guards everywhere along the way, but they turned a blind eye to everyone in Baihutang, and even raised banners to guide them in the direction!

Obviously, Baihutang has planned for a long time for today's situation.
