Chapter 141: Helping You to Become the County Governor
"Don't worry, the Xuanhan Iron Chickens are naturally aggressive and ferocious, they won't be scared away so easily. With my dense water and wood net, plus you, big brother, guarding on the sidelines, none of these Xuanhan Iron Chickens will be able to escape!" Xiao Qing said confidently after hearing this.
"Hehe, my Qing'er knows a lot!" Qin Ziling was overjoyed when he heard that, and didn't forget to talk about flowers.
Under the cloak, Xiao Qing's pretty face blushed slightly. She rolled her beautiful eyes at Qin Ziling and said, "Big brother always laughs at me!"
But she felt very happy in her heart and didn't feel embarrassed or annoyed at all about being teased .
"Brother, I'm serious!" Qin Ziling said with a serious face, "So far, I have never seen an outstanding woman like you who combines wisdom, beauty, strength, and virtue!"
"Brother, could you please not be so blunt and explicit when you speak? It sounds weird." Xiao Qing was pleased to hear that, but also felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself, how can you praise someone in person like that?
"Is that so? I'm an honest man. I like to speak directly and don't like to beat around the bush." Qin Ziling continued with a serious face.
Xiao Qing, who was under the cloak, opened her mouth slightly when she heard that and looked at Qin Ziling in silence for a while.
Is there anyone as shameless as her eldest brother these days? Such a low-key and patient guy who kills people in secret and calculates people as if they were eating, actually said that he is an honest man who likes to be straightforward and doesn't like to beat around the bush?
"Brother, let's take action now!" Soon, Xiao Qing decided to change the subject and get down to business.
"Okay, but I was serious just now, you have to believe me!" Qin Ziling continued.
"Brother, of course I believe you!"
"What do you believe in me?"
"I...I believe you are an honest man who likes to speak directly and doesn't like to beat around the bush!" Xiao Qing said helplessly.
"Qing'er, you still have good vision!" Qin Ziling said.
"Brother, Master Zuo is still waiting at the entrance of the valley!"
"Okay, action!"
As they were talking, the two of them quietly sneaked to the other side of the lake.
Xiao Qing is an expert at the peak of Hua Jin, and his aura becomes very subtle once it is restrained. As for Qin Ziling, because he has been tempered by the Bronze Corpse day and night, the blood in his body is as still as stagnant water. In addition, his spiritual consciousness is very strong, so when he restrains it a little, it becomes even more subtle than Xiao Qing and difficult to detect.
Soon, the two of them quietly approached a group of Xuanhan Iron Chickens.
Xiao Qing's strength suddenly exploded, and a green virtual net like water waves was spread towards the group of Xuanhan Iron Chickens.
The green virtual net covered an area of 20 to 30 square meters. Except for one Xuanhan Iron Chicken that escaped the net, the other four were all caught in it.
The four Xuanhan Iron Chickens sensed the danger and immediately cackled. They spread their wings and used their feathers to cut through the water and wood net like blades.
But if you draw your sword to cut the water, the water will flow even more!
As soon as the network cable was cut, it was restored.
The dense network of water and wood continues to shrink .
Almost at the same time, Qin Ziling soared into the sky like a cannonball. He clenched his fist in the air and smashed it directly at the Xuanhan Iron Chicken that had escaped the net.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the iron fist hit the Xuanhan Iron Chicken, and it actually made a sound of metal colliding, and sparks .
After being hit by Qin Ziling's punch, Xuanhan Iron Chicken fell to the ground on the spot, kicked out with its two claws, and died.
"Oh, I used too much force!" Qin Ziling said with some regret.
When Xiao Qing saw Qin Ziling kill a Xuanhan Iron Chicken with one punch, his heart trembled.
With her current strength, although she could kill the Xuanhan Iron Chicken with one punch, that required the use of strength, while Qin Ziling used pure blood and energy.
It was hard for Xiao Qing to imagine that once her elder brother Qin condensed his strength and the two forces were combined into one, who at the martial artist level could withstand a punch from him?
After all, the Xuanhan Iron Chicken was only a first-grade exotic bird. Xiao Qing quickly gathered the water and wood dense net, and then knocked the four Xuanhan Iron Chickens unconscious one by one.
The other Xuanhan Iron Chickens were just as aggressive as fighting cocks as Xiao Qing said. Seeing this, they not only did not flee in all directions, but instead spread their wings and rushed forward, cackling.
A group of Xuanhan Iron Chickens rushed up, which was extremely terrifying for Zuo Le four years ago. He didn't even dare to think about hunting them. But for Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling, this was what they wanted.
The two of them joined forces and quickly took care of the remaining Xuanhan Iron Chickens.
All five chicks were captured alive, and of the twenty adult Xuanhan Iron Chickens, except for five that were particularly ferocious and were accidentally killed, the remaining fifteen were simply knocked unconscious and captured alive.
Then, Xiao Qing used the black silk she carried with her to tightly wrap the claws, wings and beaks of the Xuanhan Iron Chickens.
Black silk is produced by a species of insect called the black silkworm. It is as tough as steel wire and as soft as cotton thread and is very precious.
Then, the two searched the valley again, and found no more fish that had escaped, but they did find ten Xuanhan iron eggs.
"Good, good, a great harvest!" Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing each held more than ten Xuanhan Iron Chickens in their hands, and ten Xuanhan Iron eggs in small cloth bags. Thinking of the fact that with so many wild Xuanhan Iron Chickens, Zuo Le's force would surely grow stronger soon, and Liu Xiaoqiang would probably be able to cultivate his arms to the level of cowhide soon, Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
"It's indeed a great harvest. The nourishing effect of a wild beast is enough to match that of four or five tamed beasts. We have harvested so many Xuanhan Iron Chickens at once. With the guidance of Master Zuo, I'm afraid that new martial artists will be born soon in Hantie Temple and Shuiyue Villa." Xiao Qing also had a happy look on his face.
Although she is in the Xiao family now, her heart is with Qin Ziling.
"Is there such a big difference between the effects of wild and domesticated ones?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course. Think about it. A wild beast of the first rank, except for its lack of intelligence, is almost as powerful as a Condensed Strength Master in terms of combat power. A domesticated beast is only comparable to a cloud-patterned white tiger, a blood-haired bear, and other fierce beasts. Naturally, its nourishing effect is much worse.
However, to condense strength, the warrior's innate talent and understanding are still needed. The nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by eating exotic beasts are also limited. Otherwise, if we really want to convert it according to combat power, it should take one first-grade wild exotic beast to create a condensed strength martial artist. "Xiao Qing replied.
"That's true, otherwise it would be too easy to train a martial arts master!" Qin Ziling nodded.
“But no matter what, more than twenty Xuanhan Iron Chickens can at least train one or two Condensing Force Martial Artists. If used well, it is not impossible to train three or four!
If this is true, Shuiyue Villa's apparent power will be comparable to the Senluo Gang outside West City, and it will become one of the five new forces outside the city." Xiao Qing said.
"Speaking of the Senluo Gang, now West City and West City Outer Area are basically under the control of your Xiao family. You should also consider clearing out the bandit dens outside West City and restore peace to the people outside West City.
This will not only help your Xiao family to expand its reputation, but also help your Xiao family to develop its influence to the west in the future." Qin Ziling said, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
"The world is in turmoil now. If we kill one group, another will appear soon. Even though the Xiao family now occupies the Xiao Family Castle and has a real foothold outside the city, their real strength has been greatly reduced over the years and is not as strong as before.
Once troops are sent out to suppress the bandits, not only will the troops be depleted, but the bandits will also retaliate. Like the Senluo Gang you mentioned, headed by the Five Water Ghosts, not only are all of them powerful martial artists, but they also have many capable people under them. The most important thing is that their lair is in Yunluo Lake.
The Yunluo Lake has a dense network of rivers and dense reeds, and the terrain is very complex. They are all good at swimming. Once they hide in the Yunluo Lake, not only will we be unable to wipe them out, but they will most likely kill us by taking advantage of the terrain and their water skills.
Moreover, these mountain bandits are all extremely vicious. If we fail to kill them, there will be endless troubles and we will suffer from them. Even though I am the eldest elder of the Xiao family, even if I want to kill the bandits, my uncle and his men will definitely not agree to send troops to suppress them for the sake of the overall situation. What, does Big Brother have a grudge against the Senluo Gang?"
Finally, Xiao Qing turned her head and looked at Qin Ziling.
"In this chaotic world, if the Xiao family wants to rise, and if Shuiyue Mountain Villa wants to rise, they must gather the hearts of the people. It is a just act to wipe out the bandits and bandits. It is to eliminate harm for the people. It is what we, the martial artists, the defenders in the city, and those who sit high in the government should do. How can we be so fussy about personal losses?
But you are right. There is no rush for this matter. Wait until Shuiyue Villa reaches a higher level of strength, and then you can secretly break through to the Bone Refining Master. Then let Master Zuo take the initiative to propose a contract with the Xiao family to jointly suppress the bandits. I think there will be no problem.
No matter how many bandits there are, no matter how vicious they are, they are still bandits, a mob. As long as the Xiao family and Shuiyue Villa unite and make up their minds to wipe them out, and kill them several times until their heads roll on the ground and blood flows like a river, I don’t believe they will dare to come to the outside of West City to be rampant? And dare to seek revenge!
As for the Senluo Gang, Senior Brother Zheng has a deep blood feud with them. I promised him that I would help him to wipe out the Senluo Gang in the future, and I will personally take action in secret at that time!" Qin Ziling said in a deep voice, his expression was solemn, and there was a strong momentum bursting out of his body, not at all like the casual and playful performance he had shown in front of Xiao Qing before.
Xiao Qing's eyes through the veil became a little blurry, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses. He said seriously: "Don't worry, brother. Not only the bandits outside the West City, but also the whole Fangqiao City will be restored to order one day."
"Tsk tsk, today I just found out that my Qing'er is such an ambitious heroine. Okay, big brother, I will definitely help you secretly and help you become the county governor, so that you can realize your ambitions!
Tsk tsk, my sister will be the governor of Fangqiao County by then, I wonder who in Fangqiao County dares to mess with me, Qin Ziling! " Qin Ziling looked solemn at first, but soon said frivolously.
"Brother!" Xiao Qing couldn't help but kick Qin Ziling lightly with her toes.
Qin Ziling laughed when he saw this, and used the Dragon Swimming the Earth technique to dodge with a casual move.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Qing suddenly felt competitive upon seeing this. He exerted force on his toes and chased after him like lightning.
But Qin Ziling was like a slippery snake. Xiao Qing almost kicked him several times, but he twisted his body strangely in the air and managed to avoid it.
