It’s all about martial arts, why did you turn on the simple mode?

There was a cool breeze outside, but there was still warmth inside. However, both Qiao Renzhou and Qiao Qiliang felt cold both physically and mentally.

Qiao Renzhou stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, looked out the window at the scenery, and sighed: "This is the palace master's decision."

"Palace Master?" Qiao Qiliang's eyes widened when he heard this, "Why does the Palace Master care about such a trivial matter? And why did he issue the official document to change the city lord in a smooth manner? Didn't the state master speak for you?"

A series of questions could not express Qiao Qiliang's excitement at this moment.

Changing the city lord is not a big deal in the entire Donglin Mansion. It is usually the state lord who decides to report it to the palace lord. But now that the palace lord personally intervened in this matter, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Faced with Qiao Qiliang's various problems, Qiao Renzhou did not hide anything.

"The cause of the matter was that the Hong family recalled Hong Yue and wanted to replace me with Hong Yue, so they launched a relationship to impeach me.

After the state leader and I discussed it, we decided to take advantage of the situation and comply with the Hong family, so as to take this opportunity to disintegrate the Hong family's armored army.

Unexpectedly, before either of us could take action, the palace lord issued an official document, appointing Qian Santong as the lord of Dafeng City. It was a done deal, and even the state lord was powerless to do anything about it. "

Qiao Renzhou briefly told Qiao Qiliang what had happened, his tone as calm as a Taoist, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.

But now that the matter has come to this, he has nothing to say. He is just confused and confused.

Both he and the state leader Gan Xinghai had the same confusion, which was why the palace lord sent Gan Santong to serve as the city lord of Dafeng City.

You must know that Qian Santong is the palace lord's brother-in-law and has always been the palace lord's confidant.

The palace lord sent his confidants to Dafeng City this time to keep him completely away from the center of power. People can't help but speculate that Qian Santong has been abandoned by the palace lord?

There was no evidence for all the conjectures. Even if the state leader mobilized his network, he could not get the exact reason, leaving the two of them puzzled.

The only consolation is that Hong's plan did not succeed.

"Then father, when will Qian Santong take office?" Qiao Qiliang came back to his senses and asked bitterly.

"As short as three days, as long as half a month."

Qiao Renzhou replied, and then returned to the desk to continue processing official documents. At the same time, he also had to think about what to do next.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiliang opened his mouth, but hesitated, then silently closed the door and left quietly.

Feeling depressed, he came to Cai Mansion and poured out his bitterness to Su Chen.

Su Chen was surprised when he learned about it. He drank with Qiao Qiliang all night, and then asked someone to send him back early the next morning.

Qiao Renzhou's move to the left not only interrupted the deployment of the Hong family, Xinghai, Qiao Renzhou and others, but also made Su Chen feel a slight sense of urgency, and there was a tendency that a storm was about to come.

Su Chen naturally knew that every change in power would cause a bloody storm. Now that he was bound to Qiao Qiliang, no matter whether he would be implicated in the end, there was nothing wrong with improving his strength as much as possible.

He became more and more reclusive, and was either refining elixirs or practicing cultivation every day. Originally, Su Chen planned to practice the other attribute skills to the limit first, but now it seems that he has to change his strategy. He should improve the Iron Cloth Shirt first.

Tiebushan has been promoted to the seventh level by Su Chen, so the number of krypton pills is very high. Seventy Qi and Blood Pills are needed to upgrade to the eighth level.

Fortunately, Su Chen is not short of Qi and Blood Pills at the moment. In addition, Qiao Qiliang rarely asks for Qi and Blood Pills from him recently, which makes the low-end version of Qi and Blood Pills that Su Chen has on hand become more and more abundant, which is enough for him to improve. It is nothing more than what he needs. It’s just time.

During Su Chen's retreat, the outside world was turbulent.

After all, the news of Qiao Renzhou's move to the left was not concealed. With the help of the Hong family, it spread to all the powerful forces.

After these forces learned the news, they frantically sent people to inquire about the news. Because of this news, the entire Dafeng City was undercurrent.

Some of the forces attached to the City Lord's Mansion were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. The City Lord's Mansion was visited by an endless stream of people in the Qiao Mansion every day.

It's just that this change will soon change.

When Qiao Qiliang stopped the expansion of the Sihai Gang, some forces were still a little uncertain. However, as the Hong family suppressed the forces of the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion remained indifferent, more and more forces became more convinced of the authenticity of the news.

In just a few days, the vassal forces of the City Lord's Mansion suffered varying degrees of blows from the Hong family, and this oppression continued. Because of the silence of the City Lord's Mansion, many forces defected and joined the Hong family.

On the third day, Qiao Qiliang found Su Chen. Today, Qiao Qiliang no longer had the same high spirits as before. He looked a little more defeated. Only when he saw Su Chen did he forcefully smile.

He informed Su Chen of his purpose and planned to let Su Chen temporarily move to Qiao Mansion. Su Chen did not hesitate and quickly packed up his things and moved into Qiao Mansion.

After moving into Qiao's Mansion, they discovered that Qiao Renzhou and Qiao Qiliang had recently made similar moves to let some of their cronies and friends move into Qiao's Mansion to avoid being persecuted and assassinated by the Hong family.

It was from Qiao Qiliang's mouth that Su Chen learned that Dafeng City had been in a lot of chaos recently, with people missing or dying every day.

On the first day after Su Chen moved in, the huge Sihai Gang was wiped out by a group of men in black. Qiu Sihai was lucky enough to find Qiao Qiliang and move into Qiao Mansion, so he survived.

After taking drugs for many days, Su Chen quickly completed the progress of the panel, so he communicated with the panel with his mind: "Turn on simple mode."

[Simple mode on: bathe in warm water for two hours, and you can train the iron cloth shirt to the eighth level. 】

Su Chen did not practice immediately, but looked at the panel. When he saw that the panel showed that the Iron Cloth Shirt could still be improved, he felt a little relieved.

"Although I don't know the limits of Iron Cloth Shirt, I can at least practice for a while."

Afterwards, Su Chen indirectly soaked in the bath for two hours, so much that even his steel-like skin turned a little white. Only then did the iron cloth shirt complete his training and reach the eighth level.

"The bones have been strengthened, and the lethality of the bones alone is comparable to that of an ordinary sword, but it still seems that the jade bones have not been condensed."

After some testing, Su Chen thought thoughtfully. He originally thought that this improvement would condense the jade bones, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

"However, my strength has indeed increased. At least I have reached the level of bone forging. I don't need to use strength. The hardness of my bones alone can break gold and stone. It is as powerful as a weapon."

After testing until late at night, Su Chen was able to fall asleep.

I have been very stressed recently, and I can finally have a good sleep. When I get up tomorrow, I will continue to practice and refine the elixir.

The next day, Su Chen was still practicing and refining elixirs as usual, as if he was isolated from the world.

However, the entire Dafeng City has become extremely lively. The new city lord informed Qiao Renzhou and others last night that they would arrive in Dafeng City today.

Therefore, Qiao Renzhou prepared everything overnight to welcome the arrival of the new city lord.

Carriage after carriage slowly drove into Dafeng City carrying the property of the new city lord. The carriages were like long queues and the guards were like rivers. The scene was grand and full of aura.

In the middle of the team, a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous brocade clothes was seen standing on horseback. His face was calm, and his gestures exuded nobility, which was intimidating.

"Damage City Lord!"

After entering the city, Qian Santong saw Qiao Renzhou's men not far away, so he dismounted his horse. Qiao Renzhou and others came forward to greet him and couldn't help but bow.

"This must be City Lord Qiao, I have long admired his name!" Qian Santong relaxed his eyebrows and chuckled.

Surrounded by Qiao Renzhou and others, Qian Santong entered the city lord's mansion like stars over the moon, and all forces were reduced to mere foils.

In the next two days, the entire Dafeng City revolved around Qian Santong, and countless people went to Qian Mansion every day.

On the other hand, Qiao Mansion is desolate, and it no longer has the glory of the past.

There are three things that a new official should do when he takes office, and the first one is Qiao Renzhou.

Qian Santong asked Qiao Renzhou to go to Fengbeicheng and take office within three days, as if he wanted to drive him away.

Qiao Renzhou didn't refuse. Since he didn't need to hand over the affairs of the three links, he was happy to be at ease. He had to leave sooner or later anyway, so it would be a good thing to leave the whirlpool of Dafeng City as soon as possible.

The next day, Qiao Qiliang informed Su Chen that they planned to leave and asked Su Chen if he was with them. Su Chen did not refuse and prepared to go to Fengbei City with Qiao Renzhou and his party.

Since most of the things had been sorted out long ago, it only took less than a day for Qiao Renzhou and others to set off for Fengbei City.

What is regrettable is that no one came to send it off.

"The world is in trouble, so is the human heart!"

After this incident, Qiao Qiliang has obviously matured a lot, and is no longer as frivolous as before. Seeing this scene, his expression is quite normal.

Su Chen was just about to say a few words of comfort when he saw Qiao Qiliang's gaze and said with a smile, "However, the Hong family is suffering more than us."

"Huh?" Su Chen looked confused, obviously not understanding the meaning of Qiao Qiliang's words.

Seeing this, Qiao Qiliang explained: "At least we no longer have to worry about Gan Santong making things difficult. It's just that the Hong family is miserable. I'm afraid you don't know that Gan Santong, the second of the three fires that the new official took office, will directly burn When it comes to the Hong family, I ask the Hong family to provide 500 Qi and blood pills to Qianfu every month."

Su Chen didn't feel much after hearing the previous words, but when he heard the five hundred Qi and Blood Pills, Su Chen's breathing became a little faster.

Qiao Qiliang didn't notice anything strange about Su Chen, and smiled to himself: "I finally discovered it. There is no harm without comparison, and there is no happiness without comparison. After comparing with the Hong family, going to Fengbei City is not a bad thing."

Five hundred Qi and Blood Pills every month, just thinking about it makes Hong's heart ache. This knife really cut off Hong's fat, and cut off a large piece of fat!

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Su Chen didn't respond, Qiao Qiliang couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, I feel sorry for those five hundred Qi and Blood Pills." Su Chen shook his head.

Qiao Qiliang: "..."

In the distance, in the dense forest.

"Seventh Brother, the troops from the Qiao Mansion have arrived, do you want to take action?"

An old voice sounded, and its gaze seemed to penetrate the mountain forest and fall on Qiao Mansion's team.

"There's no rush, let them go first." The man known as 'Seventh Brother' shook his head and said.

"But this is the best ambush location. If you want to attack Qiao Renzhou again after passing this place, I'm afraid it won't be that easy." The voice said.

"Eighteen, you are quite old, why are you still so restless? Qiao Renzhou must have expected that we would attack them, and I am afraid that we have been prepared for it. If we attack here, we may fall into their trap. "

At this time, another voice sounded.

"Brother Eleven, it's not that I'm anxious, but I don't want to waste too much time on Qiao Mansion. The three of us are all blood-moving warriors. Qiao Renzhou only has one Qiao Yong, so why should we be afraid? Why don't we push him over!" The old voice said.

"No need to argue. When they arrive at Fengbei City at night, we will take action directly and kill Qiao Renzhou's entire family!"

'Seventh Brother' said calmly, interrupting the quarrel between the two.

Fengbei City.

Located in the north of Dafeng City, about thirty miles away from the city, it is no smaller than Baishi City. It stands like a crouching cow in the north, guarding Dafeng City.

With the strength of Qiao Renzhou's team, they arrived outside the city in less than a day.

The treatment once enjoyed by Qian Santong is now also seen by Qiao Renzhou.

Although for many people, Qiao Renzhou was demoted to this point, at least the various forces in Fengbei City did not dare to view Qiao Renzhou in this way.

You still have to give enough face.

Qiao Renzhou exchanged greetings with various local forces, while Qiao Qiliang took Su Chen and others to the Yamen, planning to stay in the Yamen for a few days temporarily and make arrangements after purchasing a house.

They were busy until dusk before everyone made arrangements. Su Chen was also assigned a yard to live alone.

The local forces originally wanted to invite Qiao Renzhou and others to the dinner, but they declined and they simply had a meal at the Yamen.

Qiao Qiliang came to the yard where Su Chen was and saw that Su Chen was not affected at all and was still refining the elixir. He couldn't help but sigh:

"Originally, I thought of supporting the Sihai Gang to weaken the Hong family's power. After you were able to completely refine the Qi and Blood Pill, you could then unite with the state leader to attack the Hong family. I never thought that things would eventually turn out like this."

"Isn't this good?" Su Chen smiled, not taking it seriously at all, "The Hong family has nothing to worry about now, so we can make pills without any scruples."

"Haha, that's true. My dad told me that as a human being, you have to think twice, think about danger, think about retreat, and think about change. When you know there is danger, avoid the danger, which is called thinking about danger; hiding in a place where others don't pay attention to you is called thinking about danger. Retreat; if you retreat, you will have a chance, then take your time to look at it, and slowly think about what you did wrong in the past and how to change it in the future. This is called thinking about change." Qiao Qiliang nodded in agreement.

"I'm afraid someone won't let us think twice!" Su Chen looked into the distance, the bright moonlight shining on his face, his eyes were extremely profound.

Qiao Qiliang seemed to have discovered something and sneered: "I didn't take action on the road, but now I'm going to take action. The Hong family's people are really arrogant."

As he finished speaking, more than a dozen figures stood on the eaves and in all directions of the Yamen, vaguely surrounding the Yamen.

Dressed in black, they seemed to blend in with the darkness, and the long knives in their hands flashed with cold and sharp edges, making people shudder.

"Leave no one behind!"

A low and hoarse voice sounded, and as the words fell, more than a dozen men in black were seen spreading their arms and falling, turning into killers in the dark night, showing their cruelty.

The two men in black quickly set their sights on Qiao Qiliang and Su Chen in the yard. Su Chen was about to make a move, but heard Qiao Qiliang say: "Don't make a move, let me do it!"

After he finished speaking, he dodged and rushed forward like a ferocious beast. The two men in black looked at each other, sneered, and surrounded Qiao Qiliang, one from the left and one from the right. The long knife in his hand was slightly raised, gathering momentum. Ready to go, step on the breeze, and head on to kill.

Bang bang bang!

The three figures quickly entangled with each other. Qiao Qiliang, who was one against two, had the upper hand at first, but as time went by, he gradually became unable to resist. The two of them launched deadly attacks, which made him become confused.

Just when the long knife in the hand of one of them was about to cut his throat, Qiao Qiliang's pupils suddenly shrank and his body instinctively retreated. However, the other party pressed forward step by step with the momentum of a sure victory, and was about to force Qiao Qiliang to retreat. But when he retreated, Su Chen finally took action.

"I'll do it!"

Su Chen said lightly, took a step forward, protected Qiao Qiliang behind him, then danced his arms like a dragon and a tiger, and collided with the two men in black.

Click!

The long knives in the hands of the two men broke instantly under Su Chen's bare hands. Such a change not only shocked Qiao Qiliang, but also the two men in black were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized that they They looked at each other and stepped forward again with the broken knife in hand.

When Su Chen saw this, his eyes showed an understatement. Instead of dodging, he jumped in front of the two men and slashed with their swords, their fierce momentum not diminished at all.

But unfortunately, they met Su Chen.

He slowly raised his arm and opened his bow left and right. His strong iron palm shook the air, making a crackling sound, and then roared towards the two men in black.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

The sound of slaps sounded crisply, followed by two parabola-like figures falling down, falling heavily to the ground, and the sound of cracking bones could be vaguely heard.

After a few violent twitches, the two of them completely lost their breath.

"Let's go find your father!"

After dealing with the two men in black, Su Chen and Qiao Qiliang walked towards the yard where Qiao Renzhou was without delay.

at this time.

Some yard.

The battle was fierce, with one against three, Qiao Yong stood in front of Qiao Renzhou.

But his strength was only at the level of blood-moving, which was equivalent to the strength of the three. Under the siege of the three, he gradually showed signs of decline.

Qiao Renzhou looked on with a normal expression, and his eyes alternated with shock and anger.

He thought that the Hong family would send people to deal with him, but he did not expect that the Hong family would suddenly send three blood-moving warriors to take action.

This is not to kill him, but to destroy his Qiao Renzhou family!

"City Lord, take the young master quickly and leave!"

With a bang, Qiao Yong was hit by a palm from one of them, and a blush overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

He took a few steps back, his expression became fierce, and he turned his face sideways and shouted at Qiao Renzhou.

"Hahaha, Qiao Renzhou, there are all our people outside, have you left?" Hong Shiba laughed wildly when he heard this, his words were cold, "Tonight, I want the entire Qiao family to be wiped out!"

"Stop talking nonsense, kill me if you want!" Qiao Renzhou showed no fear.

"kill!"

When the three of them heard this, they rushed towards the front door with murderous intent. They turned into three afterimages and surrounded and killed Qiao Renzhou, completely blocking Qiao Renzhou's retreat.

Qiao Yong stood aside and was about to step forward to support him, but he suddenly stopped in the middle of the journey and stood frozen on the spot, looking at the scene in front of him in astonishment as if he had seen a ghost.

Within sight, Qiao Renzhou, who had always been considered by him to be in the realm of bone forging, seemed to have changed. He was like a dragon emerging from the abyss and a tiger roaring in the forest. He suddenly showed off his violent skills and faced the three of them with an extremely arrogant attitude. Not at all inferior, unrivaled in dominance!
