"You little bastard, you're going too far!" After a while, Zhu Yan squeezed out a sentence through her teeth, "How much more do you want?"
"No more, no more, just three thousand taels, I will definitely do what the madam asked me to do neatly!" Qu Qingning bent down and rubbed his hands, his eyes glowing, reminding Zhu Yan of a hungry wolf with green eyes.
"Three thousand taels, plus the one thousand I gave you before, it's four thousand taels." Zhu Yanfeng's eyes were red, and her face was so ugly that she almost wanted to eat people. "Little bastard, do you really think I don't dare to fight to the death? If this matter is exposed, You can’t escape jail!”
"Madam, I'm tired of hearing such low-level threats." Qu Qingning dug his ears, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, "I can't escape with my bare feet. But you, Mrs. Zhu, are different. The foundation is in Dasu Town, so three thousand taels is cheap enough, what do you think?"
"… you!"
Zhu Yan showed her integrity. This little beast had clearly planned this for a long time. He had found out her details clearly. No wonder he was confident.
"Good boy."
Zhu Yan gritted her teeth and took out three banknotes from her arms, "You are very brave. I want to see how you spend these three thousand taels!"
Su Huanli, who was behind the Buddha statue, watched Zhu Yan hand over three thousand taels to Qu Qingning, his eyes almost bulging out with anger.
It's all the Su family's money!
Zhu Yan, a bitch, actually wants so much money from the Mo Su family!
He struggled desperately to rush out, but suddenly a stone hit him from behind, and he accidentally broke the rope. Su Huanli felt that he could move, and he was overjoyed. He shook off the rope and rushed out with a loud roar!
"Zhu Yan! How dare you lie to me?!"
This sound immediately stunned Zhu Yan. Looking at Su Huanli who suddenly appeared, she even thought she was having a nightmare. How could the master be here
"Old woman, you actually harmed me!"
Suddenly exposed, Qu Qingning was shocked and angry, let out a panicked roar, and immediately ran away in a hurry, but did not drop the three thousand taels in his hand.
Zhu Yan was stunned as she watched Qu Qingning disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving her alone to face the furious Su Huanli.
Why did things turn out like this
How did the master get here? Could it be that he didn't trust me a long time ago and followed him all the way
"Snapped!"
Before Zhu Yan could say anything, she saw a slap in front of her eyes getting bigger and bigger, and the next moment there was a sharp pain on her left cheek, "Ah!"
Zhu Yan screamed in pain and was slapped to the ground hard. The left cheek swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Huanli didn't hold back at all from this slap.
Su Huanli had been married to Zhu Yan for many years, and he had never been so angry. Even though he knew that Zhu Yan and he seemed to be inseparable, he never thought that he, his official wife in name, would secretly do all kinds of bad things.
Now, even his own daughter has to be harmed with his own hands!
"Bitch, even if tiger poison doesn't eat its own children, you actually want to marry Su Li to a beggar. What are your intentions?"
Pulling Zhu Yan's hair, Su Huanli beat her violently until Zhu Yan's nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She screamed repeatedly and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please stop beating me. I know I was wrong! It hurts so much. Stop beating me!"
Su Huanli was dominated by rage and turned a deaf ear to Zhu Yan's screams. He seemed to be still angry. He looked around and saw the broken table. He immediately walked over and broke off a table leg and took it in his hand.
When Zhu Yan saw this scene, she was so frightened that she lost all her blood and crawled out with all her strength.
Su Huanli laughed evilly and swung the stick directly on Zhu Yan's back, "I'll let you harm people, I'll let you steal money, I'll beat you to death!"
—
Qu Qingning ran extremely fast, who knew what was going on behind him. At this moment, he returned to the valley happily with three thousand taels of silver in his pocket. He solved a problem in a building and got three thousand taels for free. It was really an indescribable feeling.
"Boss, you are back!"
Seeing Qu Qingning, Heidan ran over and wiped his sweat, "Boss, look at the house we built!"
"good!"
Qu Qingning touched Heitan's head, which was a head lower than his own, and walked to an open space not far from Su Li's Bamboo House. This sight made him frown slightly.
Hei Dan also knew what Qu Qingning was thinking, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Boss, although this valley is hidden, the space is too small. I discussed with Gou Sheng'er and the others for a long time, and we can only create such a large foundation, otherwise there will be rocks blocking it. , the bamboo house cannot be built high at all.”
"That's the truth." Qu Qingning rubbed his chin, seeming to be thinking about something. For a long time, he turned away and told Hei Dan to call Fang Yuan.
Not long after, Fang Yuan appeared in front of Qu Qingning. With his cultivation and body skills, he could get to the valley in less than a cup of tea, which was faster than riding a carriage.
"What did you ask me to do?"
Fang Yuan came over and asked. He immediately saw the small foundation on the ground and understood it immediately. He said with hesitation: "What do you want to do?"
Qu Qingning chuckled and whispered: "My Qu family's Zhen Clan Gu is on my body. What do you think I want to do?"
Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly, his heart was shaken, and he said in disbelief: "Why is it happening to you? Could it be that you have succeeded the family head before?"
The big families with a long history in southern Xinjiang all have their own unique Gu insect inheritance, and the Fang family and the Qu family are no exception. However, this kind of inheritance-related Gu insect is passed down from generation to generation, and only the head of the family is qualified to inherit it.
Fang Yuan is the young clan leader, and he would have inherited the Gu Chong from the Fang family in the future. Unfortunately, the family was wiped out and the Gu Chong disappeared.
Qu Qingning touched his heart and looked lonely, "I met my father on the way to escape. He protected me for a while, and then..."
Fang Yuan pursed his lips, and the two young men were speechless and fell into a long silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Qingning suddenly woke up from his memories, smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this, the current situation is the time for my Qu family's heart-eating Gu to show off its skills!"
Fang Yuan's eyes twitched and he mocked expressionlessly: "If he knew you let the Heart-Eating Gu eat dirt, your father would probably crawl out of the coffin and crush you to death."
Qu Qingning laughed dryly and said, "The situation forces me, and my father won't blame me! I have to go to Su Li to discuss it. If I use the Heart-Eating Gu to build this valley, it will be an excellent hiding place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!" "
With that said, Qu Qingning left the valley in a hurry, dressed up in disguise and found Su Li in Baiwei Building.
"Heart-eating Gu?"
Su Li raised a brow, and Qu Qingning was about to explain the purpose of the Heart-Eating Gu, but was stopped by the latter with a wave of his hand.
"Heart-Eating Gu, I didn't expect you to be the direct descendant of Southern Xinjiang." Su Li looked Qu Qingning up and down, "I just happen to think that the valley is small. Although it is a bit strange to use the Heart-Eating Gu to dig stones, if you are willing, then do it. Well, it would be better to widen the valley at least three times to accommodate a large courtyard."
Qu Qingning's face suddenly became full of black lines. He came here wanting to show off, hoping to see surprise on the face of the girl who had always been calm.
Who knew Su Li knew so much about the Heart-Eating Gu? Is there anything else she doesn't know
When he heard Su Li talking about widening the valley three times, he sucked in the cold air and felt a dull pain all over his body. Using his cultivation to activate the Heart-Eating Gu was already extremely laborious, and if it were expanded three times... wouldn't that mean he was losing half his life? !
Su Li said with a smile on her face, "It's not like I asked you to dig it out right away. I asked Hei Dan and the others to build a separate courtyard while they were digging. You should take it easy."
Qu Qingning was about to cry but had no choice but to accept Su Li's proposal. Whoever asked them to build a place for themselves to live in should suffer the hardship. In the past, they didn't even have the conditions to build a house, and all the money was provided by Su Li.
"Speaking of which, I see you bought a lot of glutinous rice and asked Heidan and the others to pick osmanthus. What are you going to do?"
Qu Qingning knew that Su Li was very good at cooking, but what could Jiang Mi... do? Is it difficult to cook
"You'll find out when you finish building the other courtyard. Everything is bought from the black market. You should understand what I mean."
Su Li warned, Qu Qingning was a little less calm than Fang Yuan, so she couldn't help but remind him twice more.
"I understand." Qu Qingning pointed to herself, "Am I not in disguise? And my status is also sensitive now. If I don't come to you in the future, I won't come to you."
After saying this, Qu Qingning ran into the dark alley and disappeared.
Su Li looked at the dark, almost engulfing black alley, her eyes as deep as the sea. Now she finally has two partners, but what she does in the future will inevitably arouse their doubts and disgust. No one knows how long this good relationship can last.
With a slight sigh, Su Li put on the cloak, and immediately turned into another person and walked towards Baicao Hall.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
The cold wind blew into the thick armor, and the young man stood on the high wall of the fortress, his straight body not trembling at all. A long spear was carried behind his back, like a dragon soaring into the sky.
His eyes were like lightning, looking out over the wasteland. The iron-blooded face was like ice and snow that could not be melted away, and a chilling chill lingered around him, making even the young man's closest lieutenant dare not get too close.
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed as a deputy general walked up to the young man and reported in a low voice: "General, the wasteland scouts reported that they did not see any Southern Xinjiang *** troops. In the past six months since the civil war in Southern Xinjiang, the seven major Gu tribes The fierce resistance is just when you have too much time to take care of yourself, and I think most of my subordinates will not attack this place."
General!
This young man looks like he is only in his twenties, but he is the major general of Dahan Kingdom! This status is absolutely superior to any young talents in Dahan Kingdom. In an era of frequent wars, the status of military generals is destined to be much higher than that of civilian officials.
"Your thoughts are playing into the hands of the Southern Border Kingdom."
The young man finally spoke, his voice cold, "I received news that many unidentified people came to Dasu Town, which is closest to this fortress. Moreover, there are many people in the martial arts world. I heard that there is also a leader of the Hidden Demon Sect. Even I have to avoid the sharp edges of people like that. Do you dare to say now that this fortress will be safe and sound?"
The expression of the middle-aged lieutenant finally changed. The Hidden Demon Sect is a demon sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years. What kind of person is the leader of the Demon Sect? He may have already been innately superior... If you want to destroy them, you don't have to try hard at all.
"Master, this place is too dangerous, you should go back to Yunjing!" The middle-aged deputy general no longer addressed the young general, with a worried look on his face.
"Bastard!" the young man scolded, with a cold face, "My Ling family is full of loyal people. My father and my eldest brother all died in battle and were wrapped in horse leather. How could I escape from the battle!"
He also heard that the deaths of his father and eldest brother were inseparable from the Hidden Demon Cult. Taking into account old and new grudges, how could he leave!
The middle-aged deputy general sighed deeply when he heard this, "Second Young Master, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Third Young Master."
The second young master is now the only pillar of the Ling family. The third young master has fallen into disgrace ever since he was maimed by a conspiracy and spends his days wandering around in debauchery. Second Young Master, please be sure nothing happens!
But in terms of official position and strength, he is no match for the second young master. The most he can do is wait until he is in danger and fulfill his old destiny to protect the master.
When the young man heard the middle-aged deputy general mention "Third Young Master", his eyes softened for a moment, but soon they were occupied by ice and snow again, with murderous intent!
