Chapter 394
"Have you heard about it?"
"There is a huge platform at the Taoist temple in the north of the city. I heard that the Qiao family master, who has become famous recently, will perform martial arts in public and teach boxing."
"Is there such a thing? Then this can't be missed. I heard that even the son of the owner of the mansion has become a disciple of Master Qiao to practice boxing..."
"If you miss this, you will regret it for half your life?"
"A stage is set up on the street in front of the Taoist temple in the north of the city? You really know how to choose a place."
"Isn't that the place where Qiao Pifu, the head of the police, threw away his police uniform, was lit as a human incense, and burned to death more than two years ago?"
"No wonder they chose that place. Who in this city doesn't know about Qiao Pifu who was burned to death in the past?"
There was a lot of discussion in the inn.
Xue Changhe listened to the discussions of the people around him, and his expectations gradually rose in his heart.
Xue Changhe is the youngest head of the Xue family in the past thousand years. He took over the position and responsibility of the head of the family at the age of 20. Naturally, the whole family has high hopes for him, hoping that he can break the family's thousand-year cycle.
However, Xue Changhe, who had personally experienced the sword tomb, knew in his heart that the accumulation of a mortal martial arts family for thousands of years was ultimately shallow compared to the immortal way.
If you want to make further progress in martial arts, you must naturally seek other opportunities, such as...
"This opportunity is indeed as the people in the city said, but you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it." Xue Changhe couldn't help but clench his fists, with uncontrollable excitement.
He had seen the Qiao family kill the immortals with one sword, and now he heard that the Qiao family master was teaching martial arts in public, and his excitement was indeed indescribable.
"Maybe..."
"Maybe today will be the turning point for whether my Xue family's thousand-year wish can be achieved."
Xue Changhe wolfed down a table of dishes, stood up and left. He had just arrived in Heyang Prefecture City, and he wanted to find out more things.
About half a cup of tea later
Qiao Mu walked into the lobby of the inn.
At this time, everyone in the lobby was still enthusiastically discussing the Qiao family master's teaching of boxing. Qiao Mu listened attentively and looked surprised, but he did not stop and walked to the private room on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the door, the bandit Zhang Kui was already waiting inside.
A table of dishes had been served, and Zhang Kui did not move his chopsticks, but he already had a faint smell of alcohol on his body and a little drunk on his face.
"Drinking so early in the morning?" Qiao Mu asked casually.
"Don't blame me, senior Qiao, I am greedy..." The bandit Zhang Kui pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but his smile was somewhat stiff.
In the past few days.
Qiao Mu, who arrived in Heyang Prefecture, had never seen Wang Songhe.
He even suspected that Wang Songhe's presence in Heyang Prefecture was just a rumor.
After all, Qiao Jinyin was doing very well in the city. He became the guest of the Southern King, and chatted with the local tyrant Lord Lou. He also held high the banner of the Qiao family and called on the warriors to join the Southern Army.
If Wang Songhe was here, he would know about this matter.
But...
"Senior Qiao, I have met Brother Wang Songhe." The bandit Zhang Kui raised his wine glass, his eyes slightly drunk, and said:
"During this period, he was in charge of the uprising in Nanzhou and had to deal with the Xuantian Sect. He was very busy. His identity was sensitive, so he really couldn't get away. Please forgive me for meeting with Senior Qiao, who took up the banner of fighting against the immortals, in private."
Qiao Mu's eyes moved slightly.
This mountain bandit Zhang Kui is a rough man who came out of the mountains in the southwest state. How could he learn to speak so politely? Looking at Zhang Kui's state of being a little drunk, these words are mostly paraphrased...
"Your identity is sensitive, it's not easy to talk face to face, it's reasonable." Qiao Mu nodded, but then asked again:
"But why did Qiao Jinyin become the guest of the Southern King?"
"This..." The mountain bandit Zhang Kui was obviously stagnant.
He stammered and smiled:
"Don't blame me, Senior Qiao. I was in a hurry when I went to talk to my eldest brother and didn't think of this matter."
"Otherwise, I will go to see my eldest brother tomorrow and ask him carefully what strategy he has planned?"
The mountain bandit Zhang Kui is a typical mountain man with a rough temperament. If he said that he forgot about this matter for a while, it is in line with his character and reasonable.
Qiao Mu glanced at Zhang Kui, who was a little drunk, and didn't say much.
After eating and drinking, he found an excuse to go see Qiao Jinyin. The bandit Zhang Kui naturally did not stop him and let Qiao Mu leave.
But after Qiao Mu left, Zhang Kui sat alone in the private room, and the stiff smile on his face disappeared.
Roughness does not necessarily mean carelessness. Zhang Kui met with the King of the South privately before, but he did not forget to mention Qiao Jinyin.
But the response given by his elder brother made him ashamed to face Qiao Mu and say those words...
"Forget it..." The bandit Zhang Kui was alone in the private room, and he didn't need a wine glass. He directly put the wine jar to his mouth and poured it into his mouth.
Gulp.
The turbid wine flowed down his chin, and the bandit Zhang Kui's eyes became more drunk.
The conversation between the two when they met that day resurfaced in his mind.
The Southern King at that time said:
The Qiao family is now a banner for the entire Nine Provinces, a banner against the Immortal Sect, and has become a powerful force.
He also said:
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done.
Letting Qiao Jinyin act in this way was taking advantage of the great reputation that the Qiao family had accumulated so far, but his king Songhe used Qiao Jinyin to call on the brave warriors who still had blood and courage to revolt, which was naturally a great good thing.
Even so, if he, Wang Songhe, did such a thing, he really would not have the face to meet the real Qiao family.
Bandit Zhang Kui sat alone in a private room and continued to drink by himself, muttering:
"Brother Wang Songhe, shouldn't you be pretending? If you really become the Southern King Songhe, you will really be recruited by the Immortal Sect..."
....................................................
In a large courtyard in the north of the city.
Huajin Grandmaster Qiao Jinyin was practicing boxing in the courtyard with the newly recruited disciples as usual.
Qian Captou's youngest daughter was also among this group of disciples.
Qian Nu was still young, just a toddler in Handan. She followed the disciples and punched her back and forth, babbling and drinking.
He looks very cute. If he were normally there, he would be amused by the money hunter.
It's just that Qian Captou was very preoccupied at the moment, and his attention was not on his daughter, but on Qiao Jinyin.
"It seems...it doesn't really look like it?" Qian Captou had this thought in his mind.
The fourth-grade martial artist, Palace Master Lou, endorsed Qiao Jinyin's platform. A ninth-grade martial artist like Qian Captou would naturally doubt his own vision.
But there is one thing that Mr. Qian has, but Master Lou does not.
That was the experience of getting along with the Joe family.
Mr. Qian's statement that he and Qiao Pif had a close relationship was naturally just a bragging after-dinner conversation, but the two parties had indeed worked together for a while and were deeply impressed by Qiao's family.
Everyone says that the Qiao family has many immortal magical skills, based on the longevity fist and the disintegration of demons.
But in this world, there is more than one Qiao family who knows how to grow fists. The disintegration of Huitianmo was far more than just one Qiao family.
Martial arts can be learned.
But the Qiao family's behavior and temperament are not easy to learn...
And the Qiao Jinyin in front of him is indeed somewhat different from the Qiao Pif who worked with Mr. Qian in the past...
When you are distracted by thoughts in your mind.
But suddenly a shout came from the yard:
"Lao Deng, refund the money!"
"If you have real skills, come down and do it with me. Do you dare?"
Qian Captou raised his eyes and looked up.
But among the crowd, there was a black-robed man with an angry look on his face. He pushed aside the people blocking him and walked straight towards Qiao Jinyin.
Qian Captou thought, this angry-looking man named Zheng was not from Nanzhou, but a martial artist from other places.
Although he is not a local, he has some friendship with Qian Baotou and his son - Qian's father was a well-known snitch who traveled all over the country in his prime, and he still has some connections in the world of Jiuzhou.
It's just that Qian Qian's generation was not good at light kung fu and failed to master the ancestral Hidden Shadow Step. Instead, he practiced the hard kung fu of the Golden Bell.
"Lao Hei has also been practicing boxing in the yard these days. Judging from his appearance, does he have an idea?" Qian Captou thought.
Qiao Jinyin was still calm. He stood still and just watched calmly.
"If you want to smash the sign of my Qiao family, ask me first and wait for the disciples." Several burly men had already walked out in front of him, blocked him, pointed at the man and shouted;
"In this world, martial arts men all age and lose strength, so there is a saying that boxing is afraid of the young."
"Grandmaster Qiao is old. You decided to fight him. What's your intention?"
"Huh? What do you mean, you can't fight Qiao Jinyin, an old thief? You can't do any martial arts?" The man in black robe glared.
"You ask me, can I fight?" Qiao Jinyin looked around and seemed a little amused:
"When I was young, I was as young as you. There were times when I was strong, reckless and passionate."
Qiao Jinyin said lightly:
"Fighting and killing are all you need? Are you young and strong and good at fighting?"
I, Qiao Jinyin, can sit here today and teach boxing. Not only can I teach killing techniques, but also health methods, and I can also call on Nanzhou volunteers to join the army. "
Qiao Jinyin paused slightly and said coldly:
"Can you?"
"I can blow your face off." The black-haired man was furious.
It didn't take long for the two sides to greet each other with fists and kicks.
It was beyond everyone's expectation.
The man in black robe was a bit fierce, and his energy surged out when he waved his fists. After a few rounds of entanglement, he knocked those burly men flying backwards.
For a moment, everyone around him retreated.
No one stood up for Qiao Jinyin... It would be better to say that no one had such thoughts in their hearts, and they were even secretly looking forward to the moment when Huajin Grandmaster Qiao Jinyin would take action.
In their hearts, this Qiao Jinyin is naturally the grandmaster of the Qiao family, and his martial arts has reached a level that is difficult for the world to fathom and understand.
So only the Grandmaster of the Qiao family stands up for others, how can anyone else stand up for the Grandmaster of the Qiao family?
"Old Hei's martial arts seems to be around the seventh level?" Qian Captou thought thoughtfully.
He glanced at the staggering burly men next to him, and then glanced at the back of the crowd, where the young master from Magistrate Lou's family had a thought in his mind...
"Old Hei, don't be stupid." Qian Captou jumped over the crowd and whispered to the big man in black robe with a low eyebrow:
"The water here is very deep..."
