Chapter 110: Ungratefulness
"Stop! Where are you from? Where are your identity badges?" Before the three men could even get close to the village gate, they were stopped by soldiers holding spears.
"Xiao Zhao, there's no need to check. They are the people under the command of Dean Hantie." At this moment, a low-ranking officer with a sword on his waist, who looked like a sergeant or a squad leader, strode forward and said.
After that, the junior officer bowed to Zheng Xinghan and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, why are you taking the East City Road today?"
"It's Brother Wei! What's going on? Why are you setting up a checkpoint here?" Zheng Xinghan saw that it was a martial artist from another martial arts school whom he knew before, and hurriedly bowed to greet him.
"Senior Brother Zheng has been out of town for a while, right? You don't even know about this?" Senior Brother Wei said with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Could something big have happened?" Zheng Xinghan's expression changed slightly.
"Master Youlong's Jiang Yue and Liao Sen were killed outside West City on New Year's Eve !" Senior Brother Wei said in a low voice.
"What? How is this possible? Jiang Yue is a martial artist who uses his strength, and his body movements are amazing. There are many martial artists in Fang Lucheng who can defeat him, but not many who can kill him." Zheng Xinghan was suddenly startled and glanced at Qin Ziling subconsciously, but quickly looked away.
Although Qin Ziling had performed amazingly in the ruined Taoist temple before, Zheng Xinghan would never think that this matter had anything to do with him. It was just because Yan Kui and Zhuang Gaochi both died at his hands, and they were both related to the head of Youlong, so this was just a subconscious action.
"That's right, so the captain of East City determined that Xujiabao was responsible for this incident and asked them to hand over the murderer and the stolen things. Xujiabao refused to admit it, and the two families have had several fights overtly and covertly in the past few days. Although Xujiabao is located outside West City, a large part of their goods have to go this way, so, hehe." Senior Brother Wei continued to explain in a low voice.
"How is this matter related to Lord Lin and the Lin family?" Zheng Xinghan was surprised and confused when he heard this.
"Jiang Yue's wife is the adopted daughter of Lin Juncheng." Senior Brother Wei replied.
There are two county magistrates in Fangqiao City, one is the head of the Lin family and the other is the head of the Lu family.
"This..." Zheng Xinghan's face was full of shock.
Qin Ziling was also a little surprised.
Of course, he was not surprised that Jiang Yue's wife was the adopted daughter of Lin Juncheng, he had known this for a long time. What surprised him was that the Lin family and the Xu family had started fighting so quickly.
"Hehe, you never expected that!" Brother Wei couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw Zheng Xinghan's shocked look.
"I really can't believe it!" Zheng Xinghan shook his head.
Then the two of them exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and Senior Brother Wei let Zheng Xinghan and the other two pass.
After leaving Guanzhai, the three of them quickened their pace.
Soon, the three of them returned to Hantie Dean's Office.
It was already afternoon.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the compound, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
No one was in the mood to practice martial arts, but kept looking towards the backyard. Lin Shou, the hunchbacked old servant who had always followed Zuo Le, was guarding the backyard door.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
From time to time, there were bursts of sounds of energy colliding in the backyard.
Seeing this, Zheng Xinghan's face suddenly changed and he strode towards the backyard.
"The master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter." Lin Shou's face was gloomy and he stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Xinghan.
"What's going on, Uncle Lin?" Zheng Xinghan frowned.
"It's that ungrateful boy Nangong Yue!" Lu Taiqiang pulled Zheng Xinghan over and said with a grim expression.
"What's wrong with him?" Qin Ziling asked calmly, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in the depths .
Lu Taiqiang looked at Qin Ziling with some surprise, but immediately replied: "Yesterday he told Master Zuo that he wanted to join the Black Armor Guards in East City.
Master Zuo disagreed, saying that if he joined the East City Black Armor Guard, he would no longer be a member of the Hantie Dean. Today he brought Lin Zhengji to discuss with Master Zuo. We don’t know what the situation is now. Master Zuo won’t let us in, and in fact, it’s useless for us to go in.”
Speaking of the latter part, Lu Taiqiang looked helpless.
"This Nangong Yue is such an ungrateful person!" Qin Ziling said coldly, his face somewhat gloomy.
"Zi Ling!" Zheng Xinghan's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously pulled Qin Zi Ling, as if he was afraid that he would kill someone in anger.
Mu Xuan couldn't help but recall what Zheng Xinghan had said in the ruined village outside the city, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"It's not your turn to say whether Nangong Yue is good or not. Besides, the East City Black Armor Guards are the guards of East City Captain Lin Tianrui. They are the elite of the East City defenders. Captain Lin's son, Lin Zhengji, one of the six young masters of Fangqiao City, is the commander-in-chief. To be eligible to join, you must at least be an iron-skinned martial artist!
This is the honor of our Hantie Dean, and it will be much easier to do things in the future. With your cultivation level, you don't even have the qualifications to join. " Seeing Qin Ziling, the coward, speak up at this time, Luo Yuke's face suddenly changed, and he scolded him condescendingly.
"You know shit! Others can join the East City Black Armor Guard, but Nangong Yue can't. He now represents the successor of Master Zuo and the future dean of Hantie Dean's House. Do you understand what it means if he joins?" Qin Ziling had long disliked Luo Yuke, and today when he encountered this kind of thing again, he was too lazy to put up with this bitch anymore and started to scold her directly.
Yu Yan, Shen Xiujing and others did not feel much when they heard Qin Ziling's words, but Lu Taiqiang was shocked all over and the way he looked at him suddenly changed.
"You, you actually dare..." Luo Yuke has always had a strong sense of superiority towards Qin Ziling. Today, when he scolded her in public like this, she couldn't help but jump up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She raised her hand and pointed at Qin Ziling's nose and cursed angrily.
Mu Xuan was shocked when she saw this and quickly pulled Luo Yuke aside.
Among the inner courtyard disciples, there are only two female disciples. Although Mu Xuan doesn't like Luo Yuke's snobbish character, the two of them still have a good relationship.
How could she dare to let Luo Yuke completely anger Qin Ziling?
Are you kidding? Do you really think Qin Ziling is still the same Qin Ziling as before? This guy is a poisonous snake hiding in the dark bushes. When he kills people, he doesn't even blink , and he even smiles.
"Why are you pulling me? Who the hell is he? How could he be worthy of..." Luo Yuke said angrily.
"Shut up! Ziling is right. Others can join the East City Black Armor Guard, but Nangong Yue can't!" Zheng Xinghan's face suddenly fell when he saw this, and he yelled at Luo Yuke. The blood in his body surged and his eyes showed a fierce light.
Zheng Xinghan still had great prestige in Hantie Dean's Office. When he got angry, Luo Yuke's face turned pale and she turned her head away angrily, but she dared not shout anymore.
"Zi Ling, what should we do now?" After scolding Luo Yuke, Zheng Xinghan looked at Qin Zi Ling.
Lu Taiqiang and others were surprised to see Zheng Xinghan actually seek Qin Ziling's opinion.
"What can we do?" Qin Ziling asked with a gloomy face, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging.
It was obvious that Zuo Le and Lin Zhengji were fighting in the backyard, and with Qin Ziling's keen five senses, it was not difficult to detect that Zuo Le's momentum was declining, while a young and energetic momentum was rising.
Zuo Le was clearly at a disadvantage.
But what can Qin Ziling do? He can only endure it!
This is also where he hates himself and is angry.
Although he had the ability to defeat Lin Zhengji, he could only watch helplessly outside the wall as his master was bullied and beaten.
Zheng Xinghan fell silent with an unpleasant expression.
At this time, Lu Taiqiang and others didn't bother to think about why Zheng Xinghan asked Qin Ziling. They all had gloomy faces and didn't speak.
