Chapter 108 Xie Shisan

Chen Ku's move to kick the guest out stopped in mid-air. There was no expression on his face, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.

Is there anyone who issues a challenge like this?

Use a shop as collateral.

The key point is that it is not a shop in Baojiao County, but a shop in Qiulong Mansion, and it is not a rented shop like Chen Ku. If the other party said so, then the shop must be their own, with the land deed and the house deed...

If this happened in the previous life, it would be equivalent to someone coming to the county town and telling Chen Ku, as long as you beat me, I have a shop in the city and I will give it to you directly.

Not to mention the iron business in the shop, just the shop in Qiulong Mansion is worth 18,000 taels of silver.

Is this the landlord's son?
Rich people are always so arrogant when they go out.

Then he coughed softly:
"Mr. Zhao Chuanzu, what a generous gesture! In this case, I, Chen, will accept this letter of challenge."

Chen Ku admitted that he was not a rich man, but a poor man. Since such a good thing came to his doorstep, there was no reason for him not to eat the meat that was right in front of him.

Making money, doing business, that's not shabby.

If you can make money while standing, why not do it?

He raised his hand and took the letter that the servant was holding above his head.

………………

"Hmm? Did Chen Ku accept the challenge? He refused the first time I asked him to come, but I offered him a shop as collateral and he was willing to come."

In a house somewhere in Baojiao County, Zhao Chuanzu's face turned pale and he felt a trace of regret.

He just wanted to provoke Chen Ku.

Originally, he simply thought that Chen Ku lacked confidence and did not dare to accept his challenge to make friends through martial arts. After all, a person from a small county town would not have the courage.

But no matter what, it was not a good look for him to have his challenge rejected.

Therefore, I want to do it again.

This time he chose to impose some conditions, thinking that if Chen Ku was really scared, then if he refused a second time, once the news got out, it would no longer be his problem.

After all, he challenged the other party twice in a row and the other party did not respond. The first time could perhaps be explained as the other party not wanting to cause trouble, but the second time, it was simply because he was afraid of trouble.

If this gets out, Zhao Chuanzu won't have any problems with his reputation.

Originally, he was fighting for face.

Why is he ranked tenth, behind a poor man in a county town?

result……

Well, this guy doesn't play by the rules.

"He really likes the collateral I sent over."

Zhao Chuanzu stood up, his nostrils smoking with anger:

"Is he so confident that he can definitely take away our store in Qiulong Mansion?"

Although it hurts him to open a shop, their Zhao family's Ancient Elephant Sect is a wealthy family with dozens of shops of all sizes in Qiulong Prefecture, so one more shop is not a big deal.

He suspected that...

Is this young man Chen Ku so confident?
"After all, that famous family's vision has always been very sharp. Chen Ku's ranking can explain something."

Next to Zhao Chuanzu were a few friends who came with him from the city. The one who was speaking was his family coachman, who was about forty years old. He spoke slowly:

"I heard that he has the strength of the Four Elephants. With such a physique and the unique skill of the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff, he won't have much advantage in a head-on fight."

"The Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff is only used in Baojiao County. The 'Nine Dragons Combined Jade' of our Ancient Elephant Sect, practiced by both the inner and outer sects, is far superior to the unique skills of the Medicine King Hall."

Zhao Chuanzu is very confident in his family's unique skills, but his confidence is not blind. After all, as one of the heirs of a wealthy family in Qiulong Mansion, his vision and knowledge are up to standard.

In some aspects, the Nine Dragons Combination is indeed recognized as the best of all the unique skills.

"But Uncle Liang, your worries are reasonable. Don't worry, I have already made preparations. I have already informed the Liangjiang Guild Hall. In this martial arts-based friendship, there is no way he can gain any advantage."

What Zhao Chuanzu held was the Hongmen Banquet.

And the other party also knew that it was a Hongmen Banquet. Since they still dared to come and wanted to take the shop, they had to be capable enough to be able to eat and take away everything.

Otherwise, you will just be embarrassed and lose your position.

………………

In the Medicine King Hall.

"Well, you are worthy of being my disciple, Yang Luchan."

When they heard that Chen Ku had accepted Zhao Chuanzu's declaration of war, Yang Luchan, Monk Yunfang, and even Chai Bao came over.

Yang Luchan stroked his beard proudly:
"Just go and beat him up, and you can get the shop. After being beaten, the other party will give you money and praise you for your good fight. This business is worth it."

Chen Ku showed Zhao Chuanzu's letter to the two masters one by one and said:

"I've seen the list made by the famous girl. This Zhao Chuanzu's cultivation is comparable to that of my disciple. We are both at the Qi Zhuang stage, and both have unique skills. If we face him head-on, I'm not afraid, but... the other party deliberately chose the Liangjiang Guild Hall as the venue for the fight. I'm actually a little confused. Can the two masters see anything?"

He has always been cautious, safe and steady.

Even if it is a sure deal, you still have to be extremely careful.

In the past year, he has seen enough in the underworld. What is upright, righteous words, and moral bottom line? He himself is not upright enough, and he still expects others to be upright...

Therefore, assuming the greatest malice towards others is the best protection for yourself.

"Liangjiang Guild Hall..."

Yang Luchan stroked his beard slowly and said:

"You know what his family does. This kind of brokerage business is run by people from Liangjiang. They specialize in acting as middlemen, helping outsiders to find out the local forces as soon as possible, and providing help to outsiders in exchange for commissions."

Shang Yunfang added: "The Liangjiang Guild Hall also has a large branch in Qiulong Prefecture. In comparison, the Guild Hall in Baojiao County is like a branch on a tree root. It is hard to say... whether their main branch will have personal connections with the Ancient Elephant Sect. This does require caution to prevent the Liangjiang Guild Hall from helping them to make things difficult for you."

Chen Ku looked thoughtful. Yang Luchan said with a snort, "What are you afraid of? Just go there tonight without worry. Your two masters will be there to support you. If Liangjiang Guild Hall really helps Guxiang Sect and takes sides, I will rush in and get you out without saying a word."

This is what Chen Ku wanted to hear from his master, so he said happily, "Then I'll leave it to you, Master. If something unexpected happens, don't forget to rescue me."

Shang Yunfang also said calmly: "And what about me? Old Yang is right. If the Liangjiang Guild Hall really dares to use force against them, I don't think they want to continue in the county. But we will bring the disciples of the Medicine King Hall to challenge them. It's just right to avenge them from last time."

Upon hearing this, Yang Luchan patted Chen Ku on the shoulder and said, "Try your best. Give me a reason to fight back. I will take care of that yellow tiger this time."

Last time, if he and Shang Yunfang had not been injured after coming back from dealing with the monster, how could they have let Huang Muxia who came to their doorstep go so easily.

Chai Bao also said in a deep voice: "I also remember what happened last time."

Chen Ku listened to the words of the three masters and felt confident. This was the background he wanted. Nowadays, everyone has a background.

No matter how powerful your Ancient Elephant Sect is in Qiulong Prefecture, when you come to Baojiao County, don’t forget who the local bully is in Baojiao County?
soon.

It was evening time.

The base of the Liangjiang Guild Hall is just opposite the black market in the county town. This is a gray area. The guild hall faces north and south, and its gate faces the Longjiang River where the Yulonghui holds a race.

The whole building is built against the mountain, with rows of buildings, tight structure, magnificent momentum, and divided into large gates.

"Miss Sui, you are here too."

Jiang Shaoyou looked at an elegant woman walking towards him from the east end of the street. She was wearing a blue short jacket, a bright red gorilla felt cape around her back, and warm pockets on her hands. It was Sui Qingfang.

Behind Sui Qingfang followed a young man who was also wearing a bright red cloak and had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

"Brother Shaoyou." Sui Qingfang saw Jiang Shaoyou and stepped forward to greet him. At the same time, she introduced the person behind her and said, "This is my cousin Lin Xinglong."

"Lin Xinglong, Brother Lin is the Lin Xinglong among the eighteen geniuses of Qiulong Mansion."

When Jiang Shaoyou heard the young man's name, he immediately thought of the name of one of the geniuses among the eighteen genius forces in Qiulong Mansion that Sui Qingfang had given to him and Chen Ku.

Lin Xinglong comes from Linjiabao in the south of Qiulong Prefecture, also known as the First Bao in the south of the prefecture. The owner of the Bao, Lin Tianhai, was a former top scholar in the imperial examination. He was a Jinshi among hundreds of millions of people. He once served as the salt inspector of Qiulong Prefecture. He is from a scholarly family and is in charge of the salt tax of the prefecture. He is also a martial arts family. The family's unique skill "Seven Star Sword Qi" is perfected. The sword energy can be released three feet outward and the sword can be controlled by the finger. The finger is the sword.

"I have heard of your great name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears."

Jiang Shaoyou bowed respectfully and said:
"Brother Lin's family has a long history of learning. I heard that you broke through the internal energy barrier at the young age of thirteen, and even mastered the first sword of the Seven-Star Sword Qi. Now you have come to our small county. It seems that in the early spring of next year, Jiang will have the honor of seeing the legendary Lin family sword energy."

Lin Xinglong smiled faintly and said nothing.

Jiang Shaoyou keenly sensed the other party's arrogance, but he was not angry. He had the same attitude when facing people from the outer city of Baojiao County. There was no need to explain the difference in class.

The other party's class was obviously beyond his reach. Being able to say a few words to him was considered a favor to him, especially for Miss Sui's sake.

Sui Qingfang took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Brother Shaoyou, you are here to see Chen Ku as well, right?"

Jiang Shaoyou nodded and said, "Junior Brother Chen Ku wants to meet Zhao Chuanzu of the Ancient Elephant Sect through martial arts. The county is not big to begin with, but the news spread in just half a day. How could I not come and see it? Miss Sui, do you think Junior Brother Chen can definitely defeat Zhao Chuanzu?"

Sui Qingfang said slowly, "Both the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff and the Nine-dragon Combination are unique martial arts. Zhao Chuanzu is also a man of great talent. It is said that he has a rare talent in the sense of energy, so he was able to practice the Nine-dragon Combination. I think that if there is no life or death, the two are most likely to be evenly matched."

"Equally matched?" Jiang Shaoyou showed a slight delight: "That means Junior Brother Chen Ku will never lose."

After all, the opponent came from a big sect, and being able to draw with him meant that Chen Ku, who came from a small county, was at a disadvantage no matter how you looked at it.

At this time, Lin Xinglong's thin lips curled up into a smile: "If Zhao Chuanzu just wanted to be evenly matched, there would be no need for such a big show."

"Cousin, what do you mean? Is Zhao Chuanzu sure of winning?" Sui Qingfang frowned slightly.

Just at this time.

"Chen Ku is here! Young Master Chen from Yaowang Hall is here!"

Chai Tiangui's carriage stopped at the Liangjiang Guild Hall, and Chen Ku and Chai Tiangui got off the carriage together.

Sui Qingfang and Jiang Shaoyou both walked over upon seeing this.

Jiang Shaoyou said with a smile, "Brother Chen, you can do it today. Mr. Chai's carriage has become yours."

Chen Ku said helplessly, "It was Master Chai who was waiting for me at the entrance of Yaowang Hall after dinner. He insisted on sending me here in person. I had no choice but to follow the master's carriage."

Chai Tiangui, wearing a fox fur coat and with a ruddy face, looked at the plaque of Liangjiang Guild Hall and said to Jiang Shaoyou: "Today's incident is not just about Brother Chen and Zhao Chuanzu, but about the people of Baojiao and the people from other counties. No matter who is challenged by Zhao Chuanzu, I, Chai Tiangui, will come to help. Besides, they are my brothers, and we cannot let outsiders look down on us."

At this time, Chen Ku bowed to Sui Qingfang.

I also saw Lin Xinglong beside Sui Qingfang.

"Are you Chen Ku?" Lin Xinglong asked Chen Ku with interest.

Chen Ku was about to ask the other party's name.

"Young Master Zhao Chuanzu from the Ancient Elephant Sect has arrived."

From one side of the Liangjiang Guild Hall, someone shouted and reported.

Chen Ku and the others looked towards the place where the crowd had made way, and saw several people walking towards there.

The one in the middle is Zhao Chuanzu, he is eight feet tall, his face is not handsome but not ugly either, his facial features are angular, his skin is clean and without blemishes, it is obvious that he has lived in a good environment, there is a sharpness between his brows.

"Huh? Isn't that the head of the Huang Sect? He is actually accompanying the descendant of the Ancient Elephant Sect in person?" Many people recognized Huang Muxia who was beside Zhao Chuanzu at a glance.

"Hiss! The Thirteenth Young Master from Chai Tie Pu has also arrived. Following him is Qu Feng from Chai Tie Pu, who was ranked eleventh on the Hidden Dragon List after Zhao Chuanzu a few days ago..."

Thirteenth Young Master has also arrived.

Everyone at the entrance of Liangjiang Guild Hall exclaimed.

"That person is Xie Qingfeng?"

Lin Xinglong, who was beside Sui Qingfang, looked at the man in blue walking towards him from a distance. He was handsome and his temperament was like a rushing spring flowing down from a mountain, ethereal and clean.

Can't help but exclaim:

"It's a pity that he didn't go to Qiulong Mansion, otherwise, he might have become my best friend."

Chen Ku glanced at the man.

Who is this person, speaking so arrogantly?
According to this meaning, if he places his own status so high, wouldn't he be on equal footing with his master?
