Chapter 225

When Wang Quan walked back to the yard, he saw more than a dozen adult beggars squeezing the children aside and surrounding the bucket of porridge, trying to get rice.

But Ah Jiu just stood there quietly, and no one dared to act rashly.

Because there was a beggar lying on the ground, holding his arm and groaning.

"What's going on?"

"Brother, they came here and wanted to eat. I told them to line up and wait for the children to finish eating, but they snatched it."

Ah Jiu's face was expressionless, but she was actually complaining.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to cause trouble for her brother, and she didn't want to kill people in front of these children who reminded her of herself, this group of guys … would have died.

"Oh? This can't be tolerated. "Wang Quan smiled very amiably," Everyone, please line up at the back and get your food one by one. "

He saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Isn't this that person? I gave you three taels of silver to go to the nameless manor outside the city, but you didn't go?"

Five taels of silver was enough for a "well-off family" of five people in this world to spend for a month.

Three taels of silver was really a lot.

That beggar was the one who asked Wang Quan for three taels of silver at the entrance of the money house.

Seeing that Wang Quan didn't put on any airs, he became a little more courageous, but he was still a little scared, so he whispered, "Hero, it's not that I don't believe you. The main thing is that I'm afraid that the manor is a man-eater. What if I go there and become a coolie? "

Wang Quan's expression was calm, "That's a place to make money. I'll loan the land to you at a very low price, and then I'll give you seeds and teach you how to plant them. Next year, I'll only need to hand over 30% of the harvest to settle the debt.

"At most five years, the debt will be paid off, and after that, I won't collect rent anymore. Even if I collect rent in the future, it won't be more than 5%.

"After a few years, I'll have my own land, and I can even build a house. When the time comes, I'll marry a wife. Isn't that good?"

Seeing that Wang Quan's attitude was still so good, the beggar also relaxed, "Hey, who knows if it's true or not. Hero, don't tell me you've been cheated. There's no such good thing in the world. "

He didn't dare to say that it was Wang Quan who colluded with others.

Wang Quan's face was expressionless.

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, the beggar wanted to lighten the mood, so he cracked a joke, "Hero, you might as well give us some money. Those Jianghu heroes will give us some money when they've eaten too much.

"That's still better than farming."

Wang Quan leisurely said, "It's only been four days, where did you spend the three taels of silver?"

The beggar sighed, "Bad luck! I took it to show my filial piety to the night watchman, hoping to get a seat at the restaurant for the night. In the end, not many heroes came to drink these two days. Those who came to drink came and went, but they didn't even look at me. There were even people who felt annoyed and beat me. "

He smiled sheepishly and stretched out his hand, "Hero, can you give me a little more?"

"No, the nameless village outside the city is only a few miles away, go by yourself." Wang Quan turned around and said to Ah Jiu, "Ah Jiu, if you're healthy and healthy, you don't need to give me food."

The beggar was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Wang Quan, "Hero! There's no need for this! If you don't want to give me money, then give me some food. What's wrong with that? "

Wang Quan asked in reply, "Those Jianghu people don't want to pay, and those yamen runners chase you away. Do you dare to stop them like this?"

The beggar stammered twice, and put down his arm that was blocking Wang Quan's way.

Wang Quan patted his shoulder, and then said, "I've already injected a stream of Qi into your body, if it's not expelled within three days, you'll bleed from your seven apertures and die. The owner of the nameless manor outside the city can remove this Qi, and the fee is only three taels of silver. "

He took out three taels of silver and stuffed it into the beggar's hand, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not."

The beggar was stunned, and completely didn't dare to speak to Wang Quan again, and turned around to run.

Wang Quan looked at the other beggars, and simply slapped them to the ground, and then threw each of them a silver ingot, "Follow him, all of you go."

The group of beggars didn't dare to hesitate, and didn't dare to retaliate. They didn't even have hatred in their eyes, and wanted to kowtow in fear and trepidation to beg for mercy.

But their knees seemed to be blocked by the air, and they couldn't kneel no matter how hard they tried.

Seeing that Wang Quan wasn't paying attention to them, they turned around and ran.

Wang Quan sighed, "There's still a long way to go …"

Of course, he didn't use Qi.

But this kind of thing couldn't be blamed on them. Who knew if it was a lie or not?

At least, based on their past experience, there was no such good thing in the world. They were even more afraid that they would be tricked into going to the Beggar Sect.

So even though they had already started to advertise, there were still very few people who actually went to Wu's old friend's place.

This kind of thing didn't depend on what was said, but on what was done.

Right now, it was like forcing them to go.

But when they really started to do it, and then realized that what Wang Quan said was the truth, they would naturally work hard to do it.

At that time, the others would naturally believe it.

Wang Quan looked at Huang Rongxue, who was still standing there in a daze, and Luo Xiao, who had her head lowered in silence. Then, he was about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look at the house where Su Zicheng was.

Ah Jiu also looked over at the same time.

Only the two of them could hear a few mournful but weak barks suddenly coming from that house.

Not long after, Su Zicheng hurriedly came out. He cupped his hands at Wang Quan and Ah Jiu, and then he left the courtyard.

After the time it took for a joss stick to burn, he returned, followed by a few workers from "Dustless Tower Logistics".

They entered the house, and then carried out a few children with black fur draped over them. Then, they left.

The rest of the children in the courtyard were stunned.

Their expressions were terrified, and their little bodies were trembling as they held their bowls of rice.

Wang Quan hurriedly comforted them, "It's alright. They're going to cure their illness and live a good life. You'll be able to see them again in the future. "

The children all nodded, and returned to normal.

But in the depths of their eyes, there was still a deep sense of unease.

Su Zicheng said in a low voice, "It's better to take things slowly. We'll just have to send them to Mr. Wu's place first."

Wang Quan was amused. "That's right. Senior Wu has always felt that his Xiaoyao Sect doesn't have a successor. Now that we've sent him a whole bunch at once, he can slowly teach his disciples."

He glanced at Huang Rongxue. "If you want to learn martial arts, you can go there too. Senior Wu is very strong. That bullsh * t Heavenly List, his ranking is much higher than mine. "

Huang Rongxue pursed her lips and looked at the other little beggars. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Those … dogs, are they dead?"

Before Wang Quan and Su Zicheng could say anything, she laughed. "That's good too. Living in this world is actually more painful."

Wang Quan grinned.

This little girl was pretty good at imagining things.

Forget it. Anyway, she should be able to understand when she goes to Old Wu's place.

"Alright, we'll send these children to Senior Wu's place tomorrow. It's time for us to leave for the capital."

He ignored Luo Xiao.

Huang Rongxue gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she wanted to kneel down, but she couldn't.

She could only lower her head and say to Wang Quan, "Brother Wang! Please accept me as your disciple! "

"I don't accept disciples. If you want to learn martial arts, you can either look for this scholar or follow them to Nameless Manor to look for that fat uncle."

Wang Quan waved his hand at the little beggars. After receiving a wave of "Goodbye, brother", he left with a satisfied smile on his face.

Ah Jiu followed behind him silently.

"Brother Wang! Your sword! "

Wang Quan, who had already walked out of the courtyard, waved his hand without turning back. "If you like it, I'll give it to you. Take it and play with it."

When he and Ah Jiu disappeared around the corner, Huang Rongxue looked up at Su Zicheng, "Brother Su, who is better, you or Brother Wang?"

Su Zicheng touched his nose and answered honestly, "Even a hundred of me can't compare with Childe Wang."

"I see. Brother Su, you are a good man."

Huang Rongxue clenched the magic sword "Beauty" in her hand and made up her mind.

She would sneak away and follow Wang Quan to Chang 'an, the capital!

She must be Wang Quan's disciple!

Luo Xiao looked at her silently and raised her hand to hold her left arm, giving her a comforting look.

She would go with her.

…

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace —

"What does the Holy House mean? That madman Wang Quan killed their Saintess, and this is what they want? "

The middle-aged emperor, whose hair had turned white, frowned and looked at the middle-aged scholar sitting below, "Bi Zhi, didn't the Academy respond?"

The middle-aged scholar sitting on the left gently stroked his beard and shook his head, "Your Majesty, I don't know either. When I returned to the Academy a few days ago, the Mountain Master only asked where Zicheng was when he found out about him.

"When he found out that Zi Cheng was with Wang Quan, he only laughed three times before shutting his door and refusing to come out. A day ago, the Junior Brother of the Academy sent a letter saying that the Mountain Master had gone missing. "

The emperor frowned even more.

He had always wanted to get rid of the control that the Pure Heart Sacred House had over the imperial court of Da Zhou, and this Wang Quan was a chess piece that he had found that he could use.

If he could use Wang Quan to attract the attention of the Holy House, then his plan could begin.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Bi Zhi, are there any movements from the Tai Qing Temple and the Lotus Platform Temple?"

The scholar replied, "The Tai Qing Temple's Hierarch and the Lotus Platform Temple's Abbot are still in seclusion, but the Tai Qing Temple's World Wayfarer, Li Yian, is killing the various Taoist Sects and Sects that are attached to the Tai Qing Temple for some reason.

"The Lotus Platform Temple's World Wayfarer, Xuanjue, has already killed the Abbot of the four major Buddhist sects. Not long ago, he came to the capital to challenge the Beggar Sect's Sect Leader, Fan Longcheng. After being seriously injured, he disappeared.

"The Tai Qing Temple and the Lotus Platform Temple are both keeping silent about this, and have not said anything to the outside world."

"Good!" The emperor's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but smile. "It's good that there's chaos! Everything under the sky belongs to the emperor, and the four holy lands should have stopped suppressing the imperial court a long time ago!

"In the future, we have to pay attention to the battle between the two great Sword Gods of the world. If both of them are injured, we have to keep them in the capital at all costs! Also, we have to make good use of the unexpected surprise of Wang Quan! "

The scholar couldn't bear it. "Your Majesty, if the two great Sword Gods are forced to a dead end, the 800,000 people in the city … I suggest that it's better not to set the location of the duel in the capital. Or try to temporarily move the people out. "

"They're not fools. If that's the case, why would they come?" The emperor directly rejected his suggestion. "A lack of forbearance in small matters will spoil great plans. For the sake of world peace, we can only sacrifice the people of this city."

"This …"

The scholar sighed, stood up, and bowed. "I will go back and think about what other methods there are. Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking my leave."

"Mm, Bi Zhi, rest well. Don't give yourself too much pressure. I still need you."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

After the scholar left, the emperor's originally warm expression became cold again.

He stroked the jade seal on the desk and murmured softly, "If the world doesn't fall into chaos and the people of the capital don't die, how can I achieve my long-cherished wish? If I can't hatch the Nation Protecting Divine Bird, how can I fight against the 'God' of the Pure Heart Sacred House that oppresses the entire world … "

In the main hall of the Pure Heart Sacred House —

Looking at the shadow of the emperor reflected in front of her and listening to his murmur, the beautiful immortal sitting on the high platform smiled faintly and said, "Then as you wish."

She looked at the other beautiful immortal standing below. "Miss Xiao is almost done playing. It's time to summon her back to inherit the will of the 'God'."

"Yes, Sect Master."

In the bitter cold land of the northwest.

More than twenty black-clothed people were struggling to walk through the knee-deep snow in the knife-like wind and snow.

The person in the lead was holding a wooden box. No one made a sound.

After walking a few hundred meters, they saw a large lake that had not frozen over in the wind and snow.

There was another person sitting by the lake.

That person was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt with some snowflakes on his shoulders. He held a fishing rod in his hand and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.

The group of black-clothed people walked to a distance of three feet behind him and stood quietly in the snow without saying a word.

An hour later, the fishing rod trembled.

A shrill dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

Then, a blood-colored monster with a body full of pustules and wriggling muscles drilled out of the lake.

This monster let out a shrill and angry roar and actually caused the snowstorm to rumble with thunder. There were even lightning flashes in the clouds.

The fisherman sighed and said, "Too weak."

Immediately, the monster's roar stopped abruptly. It suddenly split into pieces in mid-air and then the pieces of its body fell onto the lake. Fresh blood dyed the entire lake red.

At this time, the leader of the black-clothed people, who was covered in snow, knelt down on one knee and presented the wooden box. "My Lord, the young master is dead."

"Oh?"

The grey-clothed person slowly stood up and turned around, revealing an ordinary square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

His calloused hands opened the wooden box. Inside the box was the head of the young master of the Demon Clan, Ye Shuangqiu.

"Ah …" The Demon Clan High Lord gently stroked Ye Shuangqiu's cheek and said in a calm voice, "Who did it?"

The leader of the black-clothed people lowered his head. "It was a young man named Wang Quan, a new face in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. He is not even thirty years old, but he is already ranked twenty-first on the Heaven List."

"Wang Quan? Good name. It seems that I will have to accept a new disciple. " He grabbed Ye Shuangqiu's head and threw it into the lake. Then, he turned around and walked into the snowstorm. "I hope that this new disciple can bring me some surprises after twenty years."

The Demon Clan High Lord, the first on the Heaven List, "Only Defeat in the Martial Arts World," Duan Zhige, had reappeared after twenty years of integrating the Demon Clan!

…

"Achoo! Achoo! "

In the warm bed of the inn, Wang Quan, who was sleeping soundly, sneezed a few times.

He smacked his lips and slept soundly.

However, the white-haired Ah Jiu in his arms suddenly opened her eyes.

She pulled Wang Quan's hand out of her clothes and sat up. She looked down at Wang Quan and said, "Sister An, I know it's you."

Black and red tentacle-like lifeforms suddenly seeped out of Wang Quan's skin and wrapped around his body. Then, they slowly turned into a woman wearing a black cheongsam.

She sat up, holding a folding fan in her hand.

She raised her head, and her black and red eyes were filled with a gentle smile. "Long time no see. Do you want to wash my feet again?"

Ah Jiu looked at her coldly and said, "Why do you want to disturb my thoughts?"

"Because I know Mr. Wang." Miss An opened the folding fan and covered half of her face below her nose.

Her eyes were curved and filled with a doting smile. "Mr. Wang is just like that. He's a little kind-hearted. When he sees something unfair, he wants to intervene, but he doesn't know how. I like his cute, conflicted look the most."

"But … I'll feel sorry for him."

Miss An closed the folding fan, and the smile on her face disappeared. Her eyes turned scarlet. "So he doesn't need to think so much. He just needs to do what he wants to do.

"As for how to deal with the aftermath of this filthy planet … I, An Wanying, can handle the rest."

Her tone was indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
