Chapter 144 I'll go with you tomorrow
The meat of Xuanhan Iron Chicken was as hard as iron. Shao E first beat it with her Bi Bo strength, and then put it into the pot together with the auxiliary herbs to stew.
It was not until midnight, that is, eleven o'clock, that the Xuanhan Iron Chicken was stewed.
Qin Ziling ate half of it, Shao E ate a chicken leg, Liu Xiaoqiang ate a chicken wing, Dou Lingwei and Cui were still weak and couldn't handle such a tonic, so they only drank a bowl of chicken soup. Even for Du Hongmei, Qin Ziling asked her to scoop half a bowl of chicken soup, which moved Du Hongmei to tears.
Save the rest for tomorrow.
The effect of the wild exotic birds was indeed extraordinary, especially the Black Cold Iron Chicken, which was compatible with the properties of the Cold Iron Palm. After eating half of it, Qin Ziling soon felt his blood boiling. He then spent the middle of the night practicing sparring with Shao E in the yard, while Liu Xiaoqiang was hitting the sandbag frantically on the side.
"Dang!" In the dark night, suddenly a sound of metal colliding was heard.
Qin Ziling and Shao E, who were sparring, stopped and looked at Liu Xiaoqiang who was staring at his iron fist in a daze.
"Master, Sister Shao, my palms have broken through the iron sheet!" After a while, Liu Xiaoqiang raised his head excitedly and looked at Qin Ziling and Shao E.
"Congratulations, Xiaoqiang!" Qin Ziling stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder happily, saying, "Next, your focus will be on your arms!"
"Don't worry, sir. I can feel my arms are getting stronger soon!" Liu Xiaoqiang said.
"Well, training both arms is much more difficult than training both palms. You must not relax from now on. If you need to replenish your energy, just do so. If you still need the Xuanhan Iron Chicken, you can go to Master Zuo to get it. I have already told Master Zuo that he will give priority to meeting your training needs." Qin Ziling said.
After saying that, Qin Ziling turned around and went back to his room, leaving Liu Xiaoqiang in a daze and Shao E with a complicated expression on her face.
On the second day, on Qulin Street in Xicheng Market, on the second floor of the "Huayun" powder and rouge shop.
Today, Yun Lan was wearing a slightly tight dress, which perfectly outlined her graceful and delicate body. Her soft black hair naturally fell to her slender waist, adding a bit of charm and gentleness to her.
"Thank you for making another trip, Mr. Qin!" Yun Lan personally poured tea for Qin Ziling and said softly. The faint fragrance penetrated into Qin Ziling's nose and made his heart ripple slightly.
"Miss Yunlan, you are too polite. As long as the contract is still in place, I have the responsibility to come. To be honest, I am still indebted to you because I have been busy outside recently and failed to come in time." Qin Ziling hurriedly said politely, then took a sip of tea and asked, "I wonder what Miss Yunlan wants to talk to me about?"
"Tomorrow is my parents' death anniversary, and I want to visit their grave outside the city. But things outside the city are quite unstable right now, so I would like to ask Mr. Qin to escort me, and I will pay him the money separately." Yun Lan said, with a hint of sadness and reminiscence in his eyes.
Qin Ziling looked at Yun Lan, who had watery eyes and a beautiful face, and thought of how she, as a woman, not only built a career but also raised her younger brother. He couldn't help but feel a little love and admiration in his heart.
"I wonder where your parents rest?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Sanyuan Mountain is fifteen miles outside the east city. In previous years, the area was safe. We could just bring a few servants and guards to guard against scoundrels and some jackals and ferocious beasts. But in recent years, the area outside the city has become increasingly chaotic, so I'm a little worried and would like to ask Mr. Qin to accompany us on a trip." Yun Lan said.
"Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow. You just need to prepare a carriage and you don't need to bring any servants or guards. I'll drive you there tomorrow." Qin Ziling said.
If it were outside West City, Qin Ziling wouldn't have to worry too much.
Shuiyue Villa is located in Anhe Village, about twelve miles away from the city gate. The owner of the villa, Zuo Le, is a martial artist with Hua Jin ability. According to the rules of the martial arts world, the area near Shuiyue Villa is Zuo Le's sphere of influence. Bandits dare not commit crimes easily, otherwise they would be offending Shuiyue Villa.
But there are many mountains outside the East City, where bandits are rampant. Moreover, it is fifteen miles away from the city gate, so Qin Ziling really cannot guarantee whether he will encounter bandits.
So when Yun Lan asked, he decided to accompany her.
Of course, he is an expert in martial arts, so if he really encounters an accident or a fight, it would definitely not be advisable to let the servants and guards know about it. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile.
Besides, with him here, there is no need to bring so many people.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. My brother and I will wait for you here at the beginning of the morning!" Yun Lan's beautiful eyes lit up slightly when she heard the words, and she said with a hint of joy.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Qin Ziling said.
"Mr. Qin, please wait a moment. I have something else I would like to ask for your opinion on." Yun Lan said.
"Oh, go ahead." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"I want to open another rouge and powder shop in Nancheng Market. What do you think, Mr. Qin?" Yun Lan asked.
"Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me about this?" Qin Ziling said with some surprise.
"No, I really need to ask Mr. Qin for his opinion on this matter. My Yun family has an exclusive secret recipe for making rouge and powder, and I am confident that I have some business experience. If I really want to open another branch, I won't have to worry about business.
But the gangs in South City are so complicated, I would never dare to open a new branch there without Mr. Qin's support." Yun Lan replied.
"This is actually very simple. You can find an inner courtyard disciple of a local martial arts school in South City and register with them." Qin Ziling said.
"I only believe in Mr. Qin!" Yun Lan stared straight .
Qin Ziling met Yun Lan's watery eyes and wanted to say that he was just a martial arts apprentice, why did she trust him so much, but in the end he changed his words and said lightly: "Since you are confident that you will not worry about business, then open another one in the Nancheng District Market!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Yun Lan was overjoyed when he heard that. He stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Ziling to express his gratitude.
When bowing, the curves of the body become more fascinating.
Beauty is a disaster! Fortunately, I met a good person like me!
Qin Ziling's eyes swept across Yun Lan's attractive curves, and he felt secretly proud of himself.
"You're welcome. I've already told Brother Zheng Xinghan in the martial arts gym that if you have any urgent matters in the future, you can go to him and he will arrange someone to solve it. Of course, if I'm here, I will arrange it." Qin Ziling said, then he stood up, bowed to Yun Lan, then turned and left.
The next day, at the beginning of the morning hour.
The sun has risen slowly from Wuyang Mountain in the east. The bright sunshine shines on people, making them feel warm and especially comfortable.
This is a great day for an outing in spring.
On Qulin Street in the XC District market, there is a "Huayun" powder and rouge shop. A carriage is parked next to the store door, and Yunlan and her brother are standing next to the carriage.
Yun Lan was wearing a green skirt and a purple shirt today. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque and her skin was whiter than snow. Under the morning sunlight, she looked particularly charming and attractive.
"Sister, have you fallen in love with Mr. Qin?" Yuntai couldn't help asking as he looked at his sister who was looking up from time to time.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that I won't consider my own affairs until you get married and start a family?" Yun Lan said with a slightly red face and glared at her brother.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you didn't like him, why did Mr. Bao come forward to help you the day before yesterday, but you still insisted on asking Mr. Qin to come?
Did you know that Mr. Bao is now the most talented disciple in Hantie academy and has reached a very high level? It is said that when he broke through, he easily knocked down five or six apprentices. His current strength must be much higher than Mr. Qin's.
This is secondary. The key is that Mr. Bao is a talented disciple with great potential. He may become a martial arts master in the future. Such a person cannot be invited by others. Now he comes to you on his own initiative. Not only did you not take the initiative to win him over, but you also insisted on Mr. Qin.
Sister, you are a smart person, I have always admired you very much. I think you should know that with Mr. Bao's current fame and his willingness to help, no one will dare to cause trouble easily when we open a store in South City. Even if there is no Mr. Bao, in South City, we can just find a martial arts apprentice at the skin level of another martial arts school to register as a member, and opening a store will not be a problem.
But I really can't understand why you had to ask Mr. Qin for his opinion and get his agreement before you dared to open a branch in South City. And this time he said that we didn't need to bring servants and guards, why did you really agree with him? He is just a martial arts apprentice at the level of a cowhide. If something unexpected really happens, can he protect us? "Yun Tai questioned.
"Yuntai, you are still young and you need to use your brain more about some things. Even if I fall in love with Mr. Qin, I can't help but consider this huge family business and your life safety. I have my reasons for doing this." Yunlan smiled and rubbed Yuntai's head and said.
"But I still can't understand it!" Yuntai shook his head unconvinced.
"Have you ever thought about this, since Mr. Bao is more famous than Mr. Qin, stronger than him, and is a genius disciple, why would he take the initiative to come and help Mr. Qin deal with things on our side?" Yun Lan asked.
"I heard that Mr. Bao was looked down upon because of his poor appearance and stuttering. No one was willing to train him in the martial arts gym at the beginning. It was Mr. Qin who trained him. He is a grateful person. By the way, sister, aren't you most worried that others have ulterior motives? Since Mr. Bao is grateful, he is definitely not that kind of person." Yuntai said.
"You can't just look at the surface when you look at things. You have to think more about it." Yun Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Qin is here. You should be more careful later. Don't show any disrespect to Mr. Qin!"
"I know, sister!" Yuntai replied helplessly, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something, with a hint of yearning in his eyes, and said, "Sister, you said that Mr. Bao is so shabby, very thin, and stutters when he speaks, but even he can become a martial arts genius, do you think I can also practice martial arts?"
Yun Lan glanced at Yun Tai's naturally lame right leg, hesitated, and said, "I'll ask Mr. Qin on the way."
"Mr. Qin again!" Yuntai looked at his sister speechlessly, then limped forward with reluctance to go with her to greet Qin Ziling.
