Zhang Xian's death not only caused huge waves in Wu Tongyuan, but also became a big piece of gossip in the entire Luojiang County. It was like a thunderclap in the sky over the dull Luojiang County.
"Hey, buddy, have you heard? There is a martial boy from a poor family over there at the Wu Tong Yuan. He beat to death a martial boy from the famous Zhang family." Passerby A said.
"Anyone with two ears, who hasn't heard of this? Do you know the details here?" Passerby B asked.
"I've never heard of this. Have you heard of it?" A passerby asked humbly.
"This matter is complicated to talk about. You have to buy me a drink and talk about it slowly." Passerby Yi put on airs.
"Okay, let's go have a drink with 'Xiao Xie Xuan'."
…
There are countless street gossips like this. But the general direction is the same. They all portray Qin Wushuang as a hard-working martial arts boy. In order to avenge the children of the famous Zhang family, he practiced martial arts hard, waited for the opportunity, and finally avenged his shame.
, embodies the indomitable fighting spirit of a boy from a poor family.
Compared with street gossip, the attitude of the "direct victims" of the prominent Zhang family is completely different. They insist that Zhang Xian's death was not due to lack of strength, but to a conspiracy.
With the testimony of the children of the Daxi family, they did not dare to overturn the term "duel", so the term "secret plot" was vague. It could mean plotting during a duel or plotting in a private fight.
Zhang Maorui was very sad about his son's death. To put it bluntly, it was the wealthy Xu family who planned the Qin family's huge industry. His famous Zhang family was just a pawn of the Xu family.
But he was full of anger and could not vent it to the wealthy Xu family, so he could only resent the poor Qin family.
The Xu family was not completely unkind. They sent an elder to Zhang Xian's residence to express condolences and carefully analyzed Zhang Xian's injuries.
Qin Wushuang was very smart and had reservations when he started. At first, he pushed Zhang Xian high into the air with his palm, relying on his own strength instead of using his own internal strength. For the dozen or so punches that caused death, he used the "Great Vajra Fist"
”, and the strength was suppressed to only 20 to 30%.
In this way, Zhang Xian's death looked like it was just the work of a martial arts boy.
"Chief Maorui, these dozen punches to the head are the fatal injuries. This Qin family son is very cruel. He clearly wants to take the son's life. One punch or two punches will not relieve his anger. Judging from the injury, it should be
At least thirteen or four punches were thrown!"
Elder Yue, sent by the Xu family, sighed after checking the injuries.
Zhang Maorui shook his head in pain: "This son of the Qin family, in the duel a few months ago, was very different from my son in strength. It is impossible for him to improve so fast in a few months, leaving Xian'er unable to fight back.
"
"I also asked Xu Ting about this kid. According to his story, there was no one else helping at the scene, and he mentioned that the Qin family's martial arts skills did seem to have improved a lot than before. Chief Maorui, this is an accident.
, the head of my family asked me to pass on a message, don’t ruin the friendship between our Xu and Zhang families because of this incident.”
After hearing what Elder Yue said, Zhang Maorui could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and said miserably: "This is all the fault of the poor Qin family, and Maorui knows it in his heart. This debt must be blamed on them."
superior."
Elder Yue nodded expressionlessly and said: "What my family leader means is that this matter is still relatively complicated at the moment, and the matter of revenge can be postponed for a while."
"Why?" Zhang Maorui looked puzzled.
"Because the children of the Daxi family came out to testify!" Elder Yue's face twitched slightly as he said cautiously, "No one knows whether the Qin family has curried favor with the Daxi family, so if we want to take action, we must investigate this matter clearly."
Zhang Maorui felt unhappy and said "oh", feeling angry and gnashing his teeth.
Elder Yue reminded: "Clan Chief Maorui, it is only a little more than three years before that family can discuss the merits. As long as we arrange it properly, we will only need to squeeze out the Qin family's seat from the poor family and make him a Qin family member."
If the family is destroyed and everyone is killed, what's the difficulty?"
Three years... If this is the case, you will have to wait at least three years!
Zhang Maorui was very unhappy in his heart, and he was not happy to let the Qin family live for one more day! But even the wealthy Xu family dared not look at the expressions of the Daxi family, let alone the Zhang family, a prominent family?
…
In the castle of the Daxi family, Da Xiyang was also called by his father Da Xiheng and asked a few questions about the situation at that time.
Da Xiyang explained what he saw in detail. Da Xiheng, the head of the family, thought for a moment and sighed: "This Qin family is not simple. I have been holding back for so long just to have this counterattack. So.
As a result, those forces that want to take advantage of the Qin family will be in trouble."
"What's the problem? The power of the Qin family in the poor family is weak. Qin Wushuang's killing of Zhang Xian was just a petty dispute among the martial arts boys and it did not help the overall situation at all." After all, Da Xiyang was young and his grasp of the overall situation was naturally not as good as his father's.
"Hey, if you don't come forward to testify, they won't have to make things difficult. As soon as you come forward, the situation will change!" Da Xiheng sighed.
Da Xiyang pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then he understood and couldn't help laughing: "So, I stood up and told the truth, but it gave the Qin family leverage?"
"Yes, the Xu family is probably very suspicious now, thinking that the Qin family may be related to my Daxi family." Daxi Heng laughed.
"Oh? What should we do? Do we want to clear things up?" Da Xiyang's original intention was just to come forward as a witness and tell the truth.
Da Xiheng shook his head and said leisurely: "What are you clearing out? Once you clear it out, our Daxi family will be on the same level as them. Just pretend that nothing happened. We don't need to express our stance to nobles of Zhang's level.
"
A high-ranking aristocrat has a different attitude toward a lower-ranking noble? It's not necessary at all, it's too derogatory.
Da Xiyang nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, let's just form a good relationship with the Qin family. I think the Qin family has changed a lot in the past few months, and the Qin family has prospered because of it.
, maybe. I heard that the Qin family has a good reputation in Donglin Town and is very popular among the common people."
"It is because their reputation is so good that one generation after another is not as good as the next. In Baiyue Kingdom, it is impossible to be alone. The only way to survive is to retain a clear mind and judgment while drifting with the crowd! Yang'er, you have to
Remember this." Da Xiheng said seriously.
Da Xiyang has always regarded his father as his idol, so when faced with teachings, he naturally accepts them with an open mind.
"Okay, you go down. Don't get involved in the rights and wrongs of Wu Tong Yuan, and continue to maintain a high profile." Just like the Daxi family in Luojiang County, they must be aloof and look down on other existences.
"Yes." Da Xiyang nodded, and then asked, "Father, is there any news about eldest brother recently?"
Da Xiheng shook his head sadly: "Your elder brother...he can't accept that matter for a while. Well, don't worry about him. Your elder brother has a mature personality and will think of it sooner or later."
"Brother..." Da Xiyang murmured softly and walked out.
…
As the sun set, outside Luojiang County, Qin Wushuang had already completed five laps. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw a blue-shirted warrior boy standing under the city gate, with his hands folded on his chest, looking calm and smiling.
Watch Qin Wushuang.
"I heard that you are leaving Wutongyuan?" Da Xiyang spoke first.
"I'm just leaving temporarily."
"Can't we just leave?" Da Xiyang asked again.
"Why?" Qin Wushuang was stunned.
"It's been a long time since there has been an interesting person from the Wutong Academy in Luojiang County. It's rare for someone like you to appear. If you leave, won't your life be more boring?" Da Xiyang sighed leisurely.
"Huh? I don't think there are still people in Wu Tong Yuan who find me, Qin Wushuang, interesting. It's so rare! I'm very happy that the words came out of your mouth, Da Xiyang."
"Do we have to leave?"
"It's rare for Brother Da Xi to stay. I will come back in three years. I just hope that I can still talk to Brother Da Xi without reservation like this."
Da Xiyang sighed, knowing that Qin Wushuang had decided to leave, and murmured: "You hide it well enough, and my eyesight is poor enough. We have been together for so many years, but I didn't realize there were dragons and crouching tigers around me until recently. So, last time you
Is the duel with Zhang Xian a deliberate ploy?"
Qin Wushuang couldn't laugh or cry. Go to hell with your cruel tricks. Is there anyone who would use such a cruel trick? With such a huge blow to the head, how can this be called a cruel trick? What's the difference between committing suicide?
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but responded with a response: "The world is dangerous, so don't act accordingly."
"Well, see you later." Da Xiyang showed a hearty smile and suddenly said, "Maybe one day, you and I may appear on a wider stage at the same time?"
"Maybe." Qin Wushuang responded lightly, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what? I just don't want people to think that there is no responsible person in our Luojiang County Wutong Academy."
Qin Wushuang smiled and said, "I'm not thanking you for testifying against me, but thanking you for not exposing me that night."
"Huh? Did you know I was there that night?" Da Xiyang was stunned and asked Chichi, "Then why were you outside the door and said I wasn't even there?"
"I just don't want to make it difficult for you. If you don't expose me, I can't involve you."
Da Xiyang also laughed when he thought of what happened that night: "Your counterattack speed and methods are really sharp! Thinking of Xu Ting's ghostly expression, I couldn't help but laugh even in the room."
"Thankfully you didn't laugh, otherwise Xu Ting and the others would have thought it was you."
Da Xiyang waved his hands and said indifferently: "In fact, they have already suspected this, but they just don't dare to say it."
This tone, this look, this behavior, this is the temperament of a top-class noble! He doesn't care about the reaction of the wealthy Xu family at all!
What does it mean to respect the strong and the high position? Da Xiyang's performance taught Qin Wushuang a very vivid lesson!
