Chapter 144 Rebellion
The first time Chen Ku met the senior brother from the Medicine King Hall, they held hands.

However, feeling the terrible power coming from the other party's palm, his brows moved, and he couldn't help but increase his strength.

crunch~~
The air around the two people's clasped hands was suddenly squeezed out with an explosive sound.

Qin Sheng originally thought that the two young shopkeepers were meeting and shaking hands as a sign of friendship, but when he saw the airflow generated by the friction between their palms, it was like a strong wind, blowing the clothes of both of them flying.

His eyes widened immediately.

How could you not understand? This looked like a handshake, but in reality the two people were already wrestling with each other.

"what?"

Chen Ku couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although he had the power of sixteen elephants in his bones, and had lost three of them because his centipede incarnation was sent out, he still had the flower marten on him, so even though he was not in peak condition at the moment, he still had the power of thirteen elephants.

With such strength, even without the support of internal energy, he could turn an iron ball into mud.

This senior brother Kou Ming was actually able to withstand his strength.

But just when Chen Ku raised his eyebrows and was about to exert his strength to put some pressure on this senior brother.

"As expected of Junior Brother Chen, who is famous for his supernatural powers."

Kou Ming pulled his hand away without a trace of fireworks, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face, and said:

"To be honest, in addition to practicing the 'Five Elements and One Qi Magic Needle' in the Medicine Hall, I also practiced the family's unique skill 'Iron Palm Kung Fu'. This pair of flesh palms can be said to have reached the level of perfection, but they are unable to shake Junior Brother Chen's divine power. I admire you so much."

Chen Ku after the other party let go of his hand.

I was also slightly moved by what the other person said.

Iron Palm Kung Fu?
The state of perfection?

This sounds like another 'unique skill' that can be compared with the six unique skills of Yaowang Hall.

Just now, he thought that there was no one in Yaowang Hall who practiced two unique skills. Unexpectedly, he met this senior brother. Not only did he practice two unique skills...

He was able to actually practice this unique skill to perfection.

what does this mean?
You know, according to what Chen Ku knew, among all the unique skills of the Medicine King Hall, only his master Yang Luchan had practiced the nine styles of the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Stick to the level of perfection.

As for other unique martial arts, such as the Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife, the Medicine King's Deer-Chasing Fist, and the Sky Eagle's Eight Arrows, even Master Shang Yunfang, Instructor Chai, and Master Nong Baosen could only master them at the great perfection stage at best.

Looking at this senior brother, he is only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He actually has such a terrifying talent?
This talent is probably even better than Yang Luchan when he was young.

But Chen Ku's expression darkened slightly, and he asked:
"Big Brother's talent is amazing, which is admirable, but the first thing you do after returning is to test me?"

"Brother Chen, please don't misunderstand."

The scholar in green shirt immediately waved his hand and said:
"I did have the intention of testing you when I offered my help, but I had no ill intentions. It was because the county's guild consultation meeting would be held in two days, and you and Junior Sister Huo were the ones who would accompany me to the meeting. So, I wanted to get to know Junior Brother Chen's strength, so that I could know how strong our Medicine King Hall could be in front of other guilds this year."

?

Chen Ku was stunned.

By looking at his strength, is he preparing to show how much face he will give to other shops when the time comes?
Is this a bit too straightforward?
Chen Ku couldn't help but cough softly and said, "So what do you think of my strength, Senior Brother? Can you still trust me?"

"Not bad, really not bad."

The scholar in green shirt shook his sore palms, then looked at Chen Ku, with a lot of light and warmth in his eyes, and said:
"Junior Brother Chen's strength is indeed well-deserved. This year, I can finally let go and release my temper. You don't know that four years ago, it was because Zhang Renfeng and Lan Fuxi were so useless that I had to control my temper and behave in front of my peers from other families. This year...it will be different."

Chen Ku listened to these words.

It took me a long time to slowly digest the temperament of the scholar in front of me.

then,

Slowly asked:

"I would also like to ask, what are your plans for the Lantern Festival?"

"Well, you and Junior Sister Huo, come with me for a small meeting tomorrow and you'll know." The scholar in green smiled gently.

"Hold a small meeting?" Chen Ku couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't we hold a big meeting?"

"It's normal to hold a small meeting before a big meeting."

The scholar in green shirt smiled gently and said:
"Brother Chen, haven't you ever heard the saying, 'Have a small meeting for big things, and a big meeting for small things'? The big meeting on the Lantern Festival is for all the people in the industry, and the small meeting we are going to hold is for some of the 'own people' around our Medicine King Hall. If we unify our interests at the small meeting, we can better unify the front at the big meeting."

Chen Ku was slightly surprised.

It turns out that this is how the big giants play behind the scenes.

He understood,

He nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, then I'll prepare in advance and go with you when the time comes."

"The time is set for tomorrow at noon. We will meet in the courtyard. I will take you and Junior Sister Huo to the place then." Kou Ming finished speaking and said:

"Well, I just came back from the capital, and I still have to pay my respects to the chefs and the shopkeepers, so I'll leave first."

"Brother, walk slowly."

Chen Ku watched the scholar in blue clothes walk away.

He turned to look at Qin Sheng, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't you all say that this senior brother is a scholar with a gentle personality? How come he looks even more passionate than my master Yang Luchan?"

Qin Sheng scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Junior Brother Chen, this is your first time meeting Senior Brother, so you don't know. Senior Brother is very gentle to us, but to outsiders, he is...always strong."

Chen Ku couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction where the scholar in green clothes left.

Have to admit.

This was only the first time Kou Ming had come back to meet him, but he had already attracted him with his words, behavior and character, making him feel that this man deserved to be unanimously recognized by the seven chairs on the day of nomination and election of representatives.

This guy seems to be born to be a 'perfect heir'. Whether it's his character, martial arts talent, management ability or foreign policy, he can easily win everyone over to his side and make them work together.

Chen Ku felt that with the blessing of the transformation diagram, he was not inferior to this person in cultivation, but in other aspects, he really could not catch up.

After a cup of tea,
In front of the head shopkeeper, the scholar in blue shirt greeted him and mentioned his meeting with Chen Ku:

"Master, Junior Brother Chen Ku is a very good person."

"Oh? You came back and met Chen Ku. How was it? What was your specific evaluation of him?" Qin Sifan asked curiously.

The scholar in green robes raised his head slightly and said, "If I want to find someone from Medicine King Hall to bring Medicine King Hall to the city with me, then this person must be him. In my opinion, his future has surpassed that of his master Yang Luchan. From now on, the city will be his world."

"You think so highly of him?" Qin Sifan was shocked.

The scholar in green robes said, "Master, you feel the same way. I think it is appropriate to call him a divine dragon. Perhaps, if our Medicine King Hall can make further progress in the future, Junior Brother Chen's existence will be an indispensable part."

"Go a step further... did you get support from the bosses when you went to the provincial capital this time?" Qin Sifan's eyes lit up slightly.

The scholar in green robes said slowly, "In times of peace, be prepared for danger. Long divisions will eventually unite, and long unites will eventually divide. The world is in chaos, and the same is true for the businesses in Yaowang Hall. Yaowang Hall and the other two businesses have been in a three-way competition, sharing the gold and silver mountains of Baojiao County for more than a hundred years. During these hundred years, they have always used the 'Consultation Conference' to stabilize the order, but in fact, they have only done it in a more elegant way. Development and expansion are the unchanging themes. The other two businesses have also been making similar preparations for more than a hundred years, and everyone knows it tacitly. It all depends on who will take the lead in launching the attack and be able to unify the entire county and become the real 'Lord of the County' in Baojiao County."

Qin Sifan asked in a deep voice: "Have you found any clues?"

The scholar in green shirt said softly, "The Yulong Society is currently hiding very well, but the Chai Tiepu has been exposed a little. I got the news that they are secretly manufacturing the 'Divine Power Crossbow'."

"Divine crossbow?"

Qin Sifan's voice was heavy:
"Is the news true? Is there any evidence?"

What is the Divine Power Crossbow? It is a military standard artifact.

The Daji Dynasty advocated martial arts, and allowed ordinary people and underworld forces to privately manufacture knives, guns, swords, halberds, and bows, but it absolutely prohibited two things, namely "armor" and "bows and crossbows."

Because, once these two things are produced in batches, they will be powerful weapons that can threaten the stability of the local imperial regime.

Just the lowest level 'divine crossbow', in the hands of a warrior who has reached the perfection of the strength training realm, with ten people, in an ambush, there is a chance that they can shoot and kill a warrior who is at least at the peak of the third realm of jade muscles with continuous firing of bows and crossbows from hundreds of feet away.

So, Qin Sifan subconsciously asked if there was any evidence.

If there is evidence.

By reporting the matter directly to Shangguan Yun in the government, Chaitiepu can be easily suppressed as a rebel and this giant can be eradicated without any soldiers.

"I have evidence, but I can't sue because..."

The scholar in green shirt narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"The Baojiao County Government is fully aware of this. In other words, it was with the tacit approval of the Baojiao County Government that the Chai Tie Pu was able to obtain the right to forge weapons. The news I got in the city is that the Baojiao County Government wants to support the Chai Tie Pu and make it the 'red-robed merchant' of Baojiao County."

Red is the most precious color in the government office, so red clothes are often the symbol of being an official.

The red-robed merchant is...

A businessman with an official status.

"What? Baojiao County Government wants Chai Tie Pu to unify all the businesses in Baojiao County?" Qin Sifan's scalp tingled slightly, and his heart was numb: "Where did you get this news from? This is not a joke."

It is true that Chai Tiepu privately manufactured the magic crossbow, which was a rebellion. However, if it was because of the background of the Red Merchant, then it had nothing to do with rebellion at all.

The scholar in green robes said calmly, "I got it from the prefectural government. The person in charge of this matter is not the county magistrate Shangguan Yun himself, but the county magistrate Qi Wanshan. It was he who stamped the seal on the private manufacture of the magic crossbow by the Chai Tie Pu and sent it to the Qiulong government office for approval. Although this matter is a secret, Master is also aware of it. My family has some eyes and ears in the government office, so we were able to spread this news in time."

"Qiulong Mansion..."

Qin Sifan's body was shocked and he no longer doubted the truth of the news.

Then, he looked at Kou Ming and said:

"So, what do the owners think?"

The scholar in green turned his head and looked at Baojiao County outside the hall: "Make plans early and take the initiative."
