Chapter 243 What are your plans?
That night, Zuo Le specially arranged a sumptuous dinner at Shuiyue Villa, both to celebrate the reunion of the Cui family and to welcome the families of Cui Kuncheng and Cui Xin.
In addition to the main figures from Shuiyue Villa, Qin Ziling's former fellow disciple Hantie, Xiao Qing, Xia Yan and her maid, and Yun Lan from the "Hua Yun" powder and rouge shop, the Xiao family's head Xiao Wenchen and the Lu family's head Lu Xiangyu also came in person to attend the dinner that night.
Of course, Guan Goufu's Guan Gou Jin Yichen also came.
Now, more than ten days have passed since the battle across Qinghe County. The news that Qin Ziling killed Wen Chuansen, then injured Hou Yuehong, the head of the Hou family, with his tired body, and was finally defeated by the Silver Dragon Spear has naturally reached the ears of Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu.
No matter whether it is Wen Chuansen or Hou Yuehong, for Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu, they are big figures that they can only look up to.
Given their status, it is not easy to even meet them, let alone fight them.
As a result, Qin Ziling openly killed one of them and injured another. One can imagine how great a shock this caused when the news reached Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu!
In fact, let alone Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu, even Zuo Le and others who knew some of Qin Ziling's background were shocked.
It was at that moment that they realized that Qin Ziling had become so powerful that he could kill a great Qi-refining master in the late Zhenyuan stage.
Therefore, Qin Ziling was naturally the undisputed protagonist of the dinner that night.
Given Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu's status, they had to bend over and toast him respectfully.
At this moment, the outside world might not know it, but as the heads of the two major families in Fangliao County, they knew that the reason why Xiao Qing could rise so quickly was because of the young man Qin Ziling in front of them.
And he is the real master behind the scenes of Fangliao County!
They were all soldiers under his command, and the rise and fall of their families and their personal destinies were closely tied to him.
Whether they are willing or not, it is no longer up to them because the difference in strength between the two is too great!
Of course, Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu were both extremely willing to do so.
Such a powerful person, yet so young, and it was not until more than ten days ago that he finally came to the fore for his mother, making a stunning debut and soaring to the sky.
Moreover, Zuo Le, who used to be on good terms with him, was trained by him to become a bone-refining master at an old age. Zheng Xinghan, who was at the peak of his blood energy at the age of 30, was also trained to become a bone-refining master. As well as his other fellow brothers, all of them are now strength masters.
Xiao Wenchen and Lu Xiangyu were both cunning and experienced people, so it was obvious to them that Qin Ziling was far from being comparable to those young geniuses who had arrogance written all over their faces.
He is patient and low-key, and does things cautiously and meticulously. What is most valuable is that he values friendship and is very good to those who follow him.
The former means that he has a promising future and can go very far.
The latter means that if they follow him, he will not treat them unfairly, and they will not only feel at ease, but also have hope.
Otherwise, no matter how promising Qin Ziling is, they won't get any benefits, and they even have to worry about being used as cannon fodder all the time. Who would be willing to follow him?
In the past, the reason why they were unwilling to submit to Pangchiwei was not only because Pangchiwei's strength was far from enough to convince them, but also because Pangchiwei only wanted to annex them, weaken them, and use their resources to strengthen his own power.
The Xiao family and the Lu family are naturally unwilling to accept this!
But Qin Ziling is completely different!
Just look at Xiao Qing, Zuo Le, Zheng Xinghan and others now and you will know!
…
That night, both the host and the guests had a great time and everyone left.
But Qin Ziling, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan stayed.
The three of them, along with Zheng Xinghan, gathered in Zuo Le's study.
After Xia Yan poured tea and water for everyone, she stood quietly behind Xiao Qing.
"This time, I became famous in Qinghe County for my mother's cause. I looked impressive, but it also attracted the attention of various forces in Xiyun Prefecture. The governor's office in the prefecture capital will definitely suspect the relationship between me and Xiao Qing.
Also, I killed Wen Chuansen. Although due to the agreement at that time and the face, Old Man Qingsong would definitely not be able to attack me personally, and there is no strong man under his sect who can definitely defeat me, so there should be no movement in the short term, but sooner or later he will find a chance to trip me up and will not give up.
So, although I look impressive, I have actually created two powerful enemies. I have heard in Qinghe County these days that Pang Zhiyuan is breaking through the barrier of the Great Martial Master and will probably become a Grandmaster in the next one or two years. Once he becomes a Grandmaster, coupled with the army he controls, he will probably use Fangluo County to establish his power.
If at that time, the Biyun Sect takes the opportunity to get involved, the two combined forces, our situation is still very urgent, we need to make some preparations in advance. "Qin Ziling said.
It would have been better if Qin Ziling had not said anything. After he said it, Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan suddenly realized that they, who were previously insignificant figures in Fangliao County, had unknowingly been involved in a conflict with two super powers. Their expressions were shocked and stunned at first, and then turned into extremely solemn expressions.
On the other hand, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan looked calm, with not much change on their faces.
Even the deputy leader of Biyun Sect, Pu Jingyan, and the head of Hou Family, Hou Yuehong, were killed silently by this guy. Even if Biyun Sect and the Governor's Mansion are very powerful, what can they do?
They just don't believe that he didn't consider these things when he stood up for his mother?
"What are your plans?" Zuo Le asked quickly.
"In troubled times, strength is the most important thing! With strength, you can be invincible. Pang Zhiyuan, the governor, should be under the jurisdiction of the governor, but because he holds the military power, he suppresses the governor.
It is said that Pang Zhiyuan has a Bronze Eagle Guard of 100 people. The squad leader is a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining, the captain is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, and the rest are all martial artists of Huajin, all of them have iron fists and copper arms, and can pull strong bows. They were trained by him at great cost, and sometimes he would even train them personally. "Qin Ziling said.
"Tsk!" Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this, and blurted out: "If so many people line up and shoot at the same time, with powerful bows and arrows, who can resist it?"
"This is the terrifying thing about the imperial army. Although the number of their top powerhouses is far less than that of the martial arts sects and the Qi refining sects, they have strong financial resources to cultivate batches of strictly disciplined martial artists, or even great martial artists, who can charge and fight like ordinary soldiers." Qin Ziling said.
"Do you want to build such a group of subordinates?" Zuo Le quickly understood Qin Ziling's meaning and asked in a deep voice.
“My idea is not only to create a group of iron-clad martial artists and martial artists who have strict disciplines and can fight like soldiers, but also to create a group of top-notch strong men.” Qin Ziling replied.
