"It's not this martial arts competition that I'm worried about."
Shi Chongshan sat up straight. "What I'm worried about is, if this person is allowed to live for a few more years, will there be any place for us Boulder Martial Hall to gain a foothold in this Qingshan County?"
There was silence in the hall.
"Although Zhao Zhong has not shown much prominence in recent years, his martial arts background is quite deep. Now there are two juniors Qin Xuan and Jiang Fa. If these two people are allowed to join the three sects, in time, Zhao Clan Martial Hall will have a place among the three sects. Zhao Zhong This person seems to be generous, but in fact he holds a lot of grudges. Six years ago, one of his Zhao Clan Martial Hall disciples was betrayed by our people, and he still remembers it. It's just that our Boulder Martial Hall has been at the height of its power in recent years, so he doesn't dare to have an attack. Now things have changed... hum."
After hearing this, Shi Zhenshan looked a little more solemn. "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Shi Chongshan snorted coldly, "Of course I want to extinguish his Zhao Zhong's hopes in a dignified way on the ring."
He spoke slowly, with an indescribable coldness in his tone. "In the martial arts competition, fists and feet have no eyes, regardless of death or injury. As long as Kunlun severely injures him within the rules, even Zhao Zhong will not dare to say anything. If Jiang Fa refuses to admit defeat, then it is just as I want. Kunlun will just beat him to death by then. No one can blame him."
Then he turned to look at Li Kunlun.
"Kunlun, how confident are you against that kid?"
Li Kunlun sneered when he heard this, his eyes full of disdain.
"Master is overly worried. This disciple has now reached the third level of Xuanjia Gong. The attacks of ordinary An Jin warriors do not pose much of a threat to the disciple. If the disciple really exerts his full strength, one punch will be enough to break the Jiang Fa arm bone. Within three punches, his life will be taken."
He spoke in an understatement, as if Jiang Fa's life was already in his hands.
Shi Chongshan nodded. "Xuanjia Kung Fu is a low-grade Xuan-level technique. Needless to say, the power of this horizontal training technique is natural. If you can successfully practice it to the fourth level, your physical body will be enough to compete with the Transforming Force warrior."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the dark night with his hands behind his hands.
"Then Jiang Fa has been winning all the way and is in full swing. He will be among the top four tomorrow. If he is drawn to fight Wang Yanzhi or Lu Jiu first, that would be the best. We can sit back and watch the fight, and wait until his strength is greatly weakened before we take action."
"But what if he draws Kunlun?"
Shi Zhenshan asked.
"That would be easier."
Shi Chongshan turned around, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Kunlun goes all out, don't give him a chance to admit defeat, I want to see if that old guy Zhao Zhong dares to jump on the ring to save someone a second time in public."
Li Kunlun's mouth curled up slightly and he looked down at his fist.
"Master, don't worry, after tomorrow, Qingshan County will no longer have Jiang Fa."
Shi Zhenshan pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Brother, when I came back today, I stopped by to see the poster of the martial arts association. Where did Lu Jiu... come from?"
Shi Chongshan shook his head. "This person's origin is unknown, but he entered the top four as a dark horse. Even Lie Jingyun was defeated by him. His moves are clean and there is no unnecessary movement in his body. He is definitely not Rogue Cultivator who was born in Yeluzi."
"Which family do you suspect he is from?"
Shi Zhenshan raised his eyebrows.
"It's hard to say, but we have to guard against it. If Kunlun defeats Jiang Fa tomorrow, he will have to fight Wang Yanzhi or Lu Jiu later. Neither of them are good enemies."
Shi Chongshan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Wang Yanzhi has practiced the Liushuang Sword Technique of the lower Xuan level to Major Accomplishment, supplemented by the Wang Family Yellow Rank Upper Grade Kung Fu Hanhai Jue has a strong foundation, and Lu Jiu is also not easy to deal with. However, the martial arts club has reached this stage, and if you want to get the first place, you have to step on others, and no one can avoid anyone. Instead of racking your brains, it is better to let nature take its course."
He turned to look at Li Kunlun and said in a deep voice, "Kunlun, no matter who you draw tomorrow, remember this for me. First, strive to get the first place and win that Xuan-level mid-level martial arts. Second, don't underestimate the enemy. Third, don't worry about the consequences. If something goes wrong, a capable teacher will take care of you."
Li Kunlun suddenly stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Disciple, I obey!"
Shi Chongshan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Shi Zhenshan: "Zhenshan, you have to go to the county government office tonight to see Mr. Wu, and tell him that the owner of the library has an account to settle with him. In addition, let someone tell Wang Family that after the martial arts meeting is over, I, Shi Chongshan, will host a banquet to invite you, and Mr. Wang Family must appreciate it."
Shi Zhenshan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Brother wants to win over Wang Family?"
"Qingshan County, in the final analysis, several forces are sitting at the same table. Zhao Clan Martial Hall has been so popular recently that it has already aroused the fear of all parties."
Shi Chongshan sat back in the Taishi chair again.
"Forget it if he is a top-notch guy, but now there is a kid with extraordinary understanding. If that old guy Zhao Zhong is allowed to send these two to the three sects again, tsk tsk... Will someone else get the top spot of Qingshan County?"
Shi Zhenshan nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll do it right away."
Wang Family inner house.
Wang Chengde stood in front of a yellowed Qingshan County map with his hands behind his hands. His fingertips slowly traced the mountains and rivers on the map, and finally stopped at a valley in the southeastern foothills of Black Wind Ridge.
That's where the Black Iron Gold Mine is located.
"Father."
Wang Yanzhi had a hint of hesitation on his face. "Lin Lineage mineral vein incident, is it really the Li family's fault?"
Wang Chengde did not look back.
"The Li family thought it was perfect, but in fact it was full of flaws."
He turned around, took out a brocade box from the case, and opened it. Inside was a piece of black ore the size of a thumb, with a cold metallic luster on the surface.
"Lin Lineage has been hiding in Black Wind Ridge for two full years. If Lin Zhengtang's dog hadn't picked out the bones by himself, who would have thought that there was a vein of black iron and fine gold buried under the harsh mountains and rivers."
Wang Yanzhi's eyes fell on the ore, and his pupils shrank.
"Is this black iron gold?"
He stretched out his hand to pick up the ore, which was slightly heavy in his hand. It was nearly twice as heavy as ordinary iron stone. The cold metallic luster on the surface flowed uncertainly under the candlelight, as if it was covered with a layer of frost.
"Exactly." Wang Chengde walked to his side with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "This ore is of extremely high quality. If it is mined entirely, it will be enough to supply Qingyang Prefecture's three major military workshops for ten years, and it will be worth more than one million."
Wang Yanzhi tightened his knuckles unconsciously.
One million taels of silver.
This number was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
