In the Red Rock Gang, Teng Qingshan and the rest were warmly received.
That night, everyone had a hearty meal. Zhu Chongshi arrived at his destination safely and was obviously very happy. He drank until he was dead drunk before separating from Teng Qingshan and the rest.
"Brother Qingshan! You have to stay here for a few more days! " Zhu Chongshi reeked of alcohol and staggered as he walked. He put his arm around Teng Qingshan's shoulders and said warmly, "I know that the Black Armoured Corps is usually free, so don't worry. Just treat it as a few more days of fun! Oh … right, there are pretty girls staying at your brothers' residences. I've specially arranged for two beautiful twin girls to stay at your place. Have a good time tonight, haha … "
After Zhu Chongshi finished speaking, he smiled and left leisurely with the help of his subordinates.
"Girls?"
Teng Qingshan shook his head and walked back to his residence.
Teng Qingshan wasn't sure if the other soldiers of the Black Armored Army enjoyed those women, but there was no doubt that Teng Qingshan had practiced the Three Postures of Xing Yi that night. Furthermore, he had sat cross-legged in the courtyard for the entire night, not touching the two women at all.
…
In a central room, Zhu Chongshi sat on the main seat. He was no longer drunk.
"Master!"
In the middle of the central room, two burly men bowed and shouted.
A smile appeared on Zhu Chongshi's face. "Thank you for your hard work. Did you lose any goods along the way?"
"Fortunately, we did not let you down." One of them said firmly. "We gathered with the other merchants and formed a large caravan with close to a thousand guards. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, we did not lose any of our goods. We brought all four boxes of goods here. "
Merchants would usually gather with other merchants when they went on a long journey.
When there were more merchants, they would form a large group and everyone would be able to hire more guards. This was also safer.
"Mm." Zhu Chongshi nodded. "Very good. It's getting late now. Both of you can go and rest."
"Yes, Master." The two men retreated.
Zhu Chongshi picked up the teacup beside him and drank two mouthfuls of tea. The light in his eyes was restrained and there was not a hint of drunkenness in him. "Father is right, we cannot put all our eggs in one basket! If it weren't for Brother Qingshan, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect this batch of goods. My strength isn't enough to deal with Meng Tian! If the goods are stolen … then only the Fan brothers' goods will be left! "
After years of hard work, Zhu Chongshi had divided the goods he had accumulated from overseas into two batches.
The Fan brothers disguised themselves as ordinary traveling merchants and rushed to Chu County with four boxes of goods.
Zhu Chongshi, on the other hand, was rushing to Chu County with ten carts of goods.
Even if the ten truckloads of goods were robbed, he still had four truckloads of goods. In Zhu Chongshi's opinion, even with four boxes of goods, he still had a twenty percent chance of seizing the Patriarch's throne.
"Brother Qingshan, you're so young! I believe that I am diligent, talented, and have had many fortuitous encounters. There shouldn't be many in the younger generation who are stronger than me, but this brother Qingshan … "Zhu Chongshi had been roaming overseas for many years. He had experienced life and death situations and had had fortuitous encounters. He had never slacked off in his martial arts training.
He had thought that he was strong enough.
Who would have thought that Teng Qingshan could actually kill Meng Tian? Although Zhu Chongshi was very confident, he didn't think that he could defeat Meng Tian.
"There's always someone better than you out there!" Zhu Chongshi sighed. "Father is right. No matter what, we can't be complacent. When we are complacent, we won't be far from failure." He had just returned from overseas, but the lofty sentiments in his heart had been dealt a heavy blow by Teng Qingshan's strength.
Zhu Chongshi also understood the deeper meaning behind his father's words.
*****
Night!
A messenger pigeon landed in the Gui Yuan Sect of Jiangning County.
Messenger pigeons were very common in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Of course, only sects or wealthy merchants and clans had the capital to specially train messenger pigeons and set up intelligence points in various places.
The road was winding. For example, Teng Qingshan and the rest had to travel two thousand miles from Jiangning County to Chu County.
In reality, the road was winding and most of the way was a detour.
As for the straight line distance, it was much shorter.
Messenger pigeons did not need to care about the obstructions of rivers and mountains. In addition, the Land of the Nine Prefectures was nurtured by the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. The speed of messenger pigeons was extremely fast. Some of the best messenger pigeons could pass through the borders of a prefecture in a day.
For example, the Dark Demonic Horse of the three Dragon Horses could travel five thousand miles in a day. However, due to the winding road, it would take a day to travel through the whole of Yangzhou.
… …
In the Gui Yuan Sect, outside the door of the Sovereign Zhuge Yuan-hong's study, a middle-aged man in a grey robe ran in anxiously. At this moment, there was no light in the study, and it was completely dark. However, the man in the grey robe knew that … … the Sovereign had spent most of the nights in the study. Instead, he rarely went to the Sovereign's training field.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
"Come in!"
With a creak, the door of the study was pushed open. Zhuge Yuan-hong had already stood up and lit a candle.
"Sovereign, there's an urgent secret letter from Xuyang County." The man in the grey robe hastily handed over a secret letter that was rolled up into a small circle.
Zhuge Yuan-hong raised his eyebrows. An urgent letter was definitely not an ordinary one. Frowning, Zhuge Yuan-hong took the letter and opened it. After reading it, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha … … what a surprise. Junior Martial Brother Qingyang, take a look."
"Surprise?" The man in the grey robe was startled. He was slightly puzzled, but he still took the letter.
"Two of our Black Armoured Corps soldiers died, and one was severely injured. Teng Qingshan killed Meng Tian? "The man in the grey robe looked at Zhuge Yuan-hong in shock." Sovereign, how … how is this possible? "
"Junior Martial Brother Qingyang, this message only says that Qingshan severely injured Meng Tian and chased him all the way. Later on, he returned with a Blood Moon Saber. As for whether he killed Meng Tian or not … … nobody saw it. " But no one saw it. "Zhuge Yuan-hong said with a faint smile." No one saw it, so it's hard to explain this matter. "
The man in the grey robe nodded and said anxiously, "But Meng Tian is an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》. How could he be defeated by Teng Qingshan and even have his weapon taken away? With his weapon taken away, it's very likely that he was killed! "
Regardless of whether Meng Tian was really dead or not, it was a fact that his weapon had been taken away.
Against a super expert, having his weapon taken away meant a complete defeat!
"Xuyang County has also said that Teng Qingshan severely injured Meng Tian and cut off one of his arms. Then, he chased after him all the way, but they didn't say that he was killed!" Zhuge Yuan-hong said.
"Yes." The man in the grey robe nodded.
Actually, this news was spread by the men who had seen Teng Qingshan severely injure Meng Tian.
The San Shi Inn had gone through a fierce battle, and the twenty or so people left very quickly. They didn't know whether Teng Qingshan had killed Meng Tian or not. Since these men were roaming around Xuyang County, this kind of news was naturally widely discussed.
The more this news spread, the faster it spread. Eventually, it reached the ears of the intelligence personnel of the Gui Yuan Sect.
"Haha … … Qingshan will definitely be able to enter the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》." Zhuge Yuan-hong laughed heartily, "As for whether he can enter the 《Earth Ranking》, it's hard to say … … Because in order to enter the 《Earth Ranking》, the Wan Xiang Sect's examination is also very strict. It's also hard to say whether Qingshan had relied on himself to take away his opponent's weapon. Because no one saw it! "
The man in the grey robe nodded.
It was indeed very difficult to enter the 《Earth Ranking》. Looking at those experts who had entered the 《Earth Ranking》, which one of them didn't have a series of shocking achievements?
The fastest way to enter the 《Earth Ranking》 was to kill the opponent directly. Of course, this had to be seen by someone, otherwise, who would know if you were the one who killed the opponent. The second way was to be beaten until the opponent officially admitted defeat. This also had to be seen by someone.
Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and said, "No matter what, my Gui Yuan Sect finally has a junior who can enter the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》. No one will dare to say that the juniors of my Gui Yuan Sect are useless!"
There were many experts among the younger generation of the Gui Yuan Sect.
The two young commanders, Zang Feng and Guan Lu, as well as Zhuge Yun and the others. However, the outside world still thought that the juniors of the Gui Yuan Sect were not good enough.
The outside world didn't know the geniuses of the sect. They only looked at the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》.
"Sovereign … …" The grey robed man suddenly became nervous and said excitedly, "Teng Qingshan is not even twenty years old, but he was able to defeat Meng Tian now! This is definitely the strength of the 《Earth Ranking》. Do you think he can reach the Innate Realm? "
"Innate Realm?" Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes lit up.
There was no need to say more about the significance of an Innate Realm expert to a sect.
"You can leave first." Zhuge Yuan-hong said.
"Yes, Sovereign." The grey robed man immediately left respectfully.
Zhuge Yuan-hong waved his hand and extinguished the candle. In the dark study room, Zhuge Yuan-hong sat quietly for a long time. "Teng Qingshan has a clean background. It's impossible for him to be a chess piece of other sects. Moreover, I don't think any sect would be willing to use such a genius as a chess piece! He is definitely the number one genius of my Gui Yuan Sect in the past thousand years! If Teng Qingshan can continue to improve at this speed, in ten or a hundred years, my Gui Yuan Sect, under the leadership of Teng Qingshan, might … … one day, surpass Qing Hu Island! Become the number one sect in Yangzhou! Teng Qingshan, I will train you with all my strength. Let's see how far you can reach. I hope you won't disappoint me! "
Sometimes, one must be decisive!
Although Teng Qingshan's parents were not disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect and could not be considered as the most trustworthy ones, Teng Qingshan had a clean background.
However, Teng Qingshan could be considered to have a clean background. If such a peerless genius was not nurtured, how could he be snatched away by other sects?
When it was time to make a decision, one must be decisive!
In his heart, Zhuge Yuan-hong already intended to train Teng Qingshan as the next Sovereign! The position of Sovereign of the Gui Yuan Sect was not passed from father to son, but from the most outstanding disciple!
In the past, Zhuge Yuan-hong treated Zang Feng, Guan Lu, and his son Zhuge Yun as candidates for the position of Sovereign.
Although these three people were powerful, but … …
Compared to Teng Qingshan, who could defeat Meng Tian, they were far inferior. The most important thing was that Teng Qingshan was only seventeen years old! In the past thousand years, no one in the Gui Yuan Sect had defeated an expert of the 《Earth Ranking》 at the age of seventeen. The most important thing was that in the past, Teng Qingshan had always trained by himself and had never truly received the training of the Gui Yuan Sect.
"《Gui Yuan Heart Technique》 and 《Dark Moon Spear Technique》, which should I pass to him?" Zhuge Yuan-hong began to ponder. "One is my Gui Yuan Sect's most treasured technique, a Heaven Class Secret Technique, while the other is only an Earth Class Secret Technique. However, it is a spear art! Hmm … … "Zhuge Yuan-hong also began to seriously consider how to train Teng Qingshan.
