Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 200: Get a piece of the pie?

"There are so many ways to improve my strength, I won't use this one. I don't believe this method has no cost!"

Zhang Jinquan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. What I just said was also heard from a fellow traveler back then."

Cheng Zongyang said, "That's all. Give him to me. There's no need to study him."

As he said that, Cheng Zongyang crushed Lu Yan's throat.

At this point, the head of the Lu family, who was one of the six families in Yufeng County, died painlessly in less than a month!

After tonight, the Lu family will also be destroyed!

Carrying Lu Yan's body out of the wilderness, Cheng Zongyang jumped out of the house and headed for He's house, carrying the body that was as light as a chicken.

As for what was in Lu Yan's heart, he was not interested in it.

Of course, he was also guessing one thing.

If Zhang Jinquan's guess is true, and He Shuijun relies on this thing to improve his strength, does that mean that He Shuijun has to rely on this bug to improve to the sixth level?

By then, as a person who has been promoted to the sixth rank, with his self-confidence overflowing, the first target of attack will probably be, no, definitely himself!
Thinking about what was very likely to happen next, Cheng Zongyang was not worried but smiled.

It would be fun if the action happened to be taken during the agreement period.

And the agreement period is seven days!
Of course, he also thought of one thing. If He Shuijun broke through to become a sixth-grade cultivator, he also wanted to see how Li Mingxin would treat and deal with it.

According to Li Mingxin, the middle three-rank families are not allowed to attack the lower three-rank families at will.

This is also the royal family's way of protecting the stability of all classes under its rule. Otherwise, if the upper three ranks plunder the middle three ranks, and the middle three ranks plunder the lower three ranks, then the only loss will be the royal family's income!
Of course, this does not necessarily mean that a war cannot be started. But we can go to the Li family to explain the problem, and if both parties agree, then it is OK.

Otherwise, it will be handled privately. Once discovered by the Li family, you will either have to pay three years of tribute to the corresponding family or accept more severe punishment!

Therefore, after He Shuijun becomes a sixth-rank warrior and his family becomes a sixth-rank warrior of the middle third rank, whether there will be any problems can be considered as an experience.

While Yu Cheng Zongyang was rushing to He's house, on the northeast street of the city, was Xu's house.

At this time, in the study room in the backyard of the Xu family, Xu Tieshan was listening to the news summarized by his son Xu Yuandong.

"… Most of the people who were heading there have been dispatched, but He Shui-jun has not shown up yet. The He family is under strict guard right now, and the spies are unable to find out the specific situation of the He family."

Xu Tieshan, who was about to go to bed, paused for a moment when he heard the He family's people rushing towards the Lu family's base.

He Shuijun wants to take action against the Lu family and swallow up the Lu family’s territory?
"How's Lu Yan doing? Any response?" Xu Tieshan asked.

"Have!"

Xu Yuandong looked solemn: "The spies got some untrue news. It seems that the head of the Lu family was kidnapped. Judging from the reaction of the He family, it is closely related to He Shuijun. Lu Wufei of the Lu family has sent people out to look for him. Dad, this is an opportunity!"

As he spoke, Xu Yuandong's expression became a little excited: "The He family and the Lu family are fighting, we can take this opportunity to take over the He family's territory. In this way, we can own a whole piece of territory! At the very least, we can get some of it!"

What Xu Tieshan was thinking about was not the territory, but the person who held Lu Yan hostage.

The first person he excluded from his mind was He Shuijun. It was not because he underestimated him, but He Shuijun was not strong enough to kidnap Lu Yan in a fair and just manner.

If external aids are used, such as drugs, poisons, etc., then it is possible.

The second person who showed up was Cheng Zongyang! After all, the fight between him and Lu Yan that night, as well as the aura he exuded in the restaurant, made it very likely.

As for the other families, he couldn't think of who they could be.

If Cheng Zongyang and He Shuijun cooperate, the Lu family may not be able to stop them from attacking each other!
Suddenly, he looked at his son and said, "Don't you have any information about the Cheng family now?"

Xu Yuandong said: "We found one, but the other party only said that he had seen the wanted warrant, but he didn't know its specific origin."

"Wanted order? Yufeng County's previous wanted order?" Xu Tieshan frowned.

Xu Yuandong nodded: "Yes. That person said that his family was wanted by the original county magistrate. But later it was revoked by the new county magistrate. As for other news, I haven't heard about it yet. The number of wanted people should be two families, which seems to be about ten people."

After saying this, Xu Yuandong hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Dad, this is really an opportunity! As long as some people stay behind to ensure that the Qiu family won't have any intentions, we can send out another group of people and take advantage of the fight between the He family and the Lu family to capture some places! Even if it's just a few alleys, the benefits we'll get in the future will be great!"

Seeing that his son had thought so much, Xu Tieshan smiled and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Xu Yuandong was refreshed and said quickly: "No matter whether Lu Yan comes back later, the Lu family and the He family will definitely become mortal enemies! What I mean is, take advantage of this opportunity to occupy every street and alley. Occupy as many as possible! After all, we don't have many people.

Afterwards, even if the He family wanted to take it back, they had to consider whether they had enough manpower.

If Lu Yan comes back in the future, he will target the He family instead of our Xu family. It is even possible that the Lu family will seek our cooperation to swallow up the He family.

Therefore, you stay at home and the other families won't dare to attack us. I will take some of the best fighters with me!"

Xu Tieshan looked at his son with great satisfaction. He remained cautious in the face of great interests, eating according to his appetite, ensuring that he had enough room for maneuvers and seeking victory in stability. This was a very good thing.

"Okay, go and make the arrangements. Although I don't know why He Shuijun attacked the Lu family, how can my Xu family be left out of such a good thing?"

"Yes!" Xu Yuandong suppressed his excitement, bowed and left.

Southeast Street of the city, Qiu family.

In the same study room, the head of the family Qiu Fengxing, the eldest daughter Qiu Wan'er, the second son Qiu Chuning, and the third son Qiu Chuan were also having the same discussion.

But we were only talking about three children.

The second son Qiu Chuning, who advocated war, was the most emotional. The third son Qiu Chuan, who was only sixteen years old, listened quietly to the debate between his eldest sister and second brother.

But in his eyes, compared with his second brother's enthusiasm and his eldest sister's calmness, how could his second brother possibly win.

They had never defeated the eldest sister. So he knew very well that the sudden incident between the He family and the Lu family would not benefit his Qiu family.

"…Then what are you afraid of? How can you accomplish anything if you only think ahead and behind?"

Qiu Chuning finally asked unconvincedly, staring at his elder sister.

Qiu Wan'er still said calmly:

"Second brother, as the direct descendant of the family, you shouldn't say such words.

You should learn to be prudent! If even you are so radical, how can the people in the tribe be rational in the future?

As I just said, the dispute between the He family and the Lu family must involve the Cheng family. In addition, the Xu family, which is adjacent to the He family, will definitely take action.

Our place is a little far away, so if we send too few people, we won't be able to take up much, and we may even return empty-handed or even lose money. If we send too many people, the clan will be empty.

Not to mention whether we will encounter counterattacks from the Cheng, He, and Xu families, it is very likely that the families around us will join forces and divide up our territory when they see that our territory has been reduced by most of its manpower.

Second brother, you are willing to get involved in the interests of the He family. If you see the current situation of the Qiu family, are you willing to share it?"

Suddenly, Qiu Chuning opened his mouth, but could no longer refute, but finally gritted his teeth and said:
"The Cheng family and the Xu family may not get involved. What's more, if the Cheng family gets involved, it's only Cheng Zongyang. The rest of the people don't have any manpower available. The so-called Tianduan Gang is just a vase!" However, Qiu Chuan spoke at this time.

"Brother, that may not be the case. I have investigated and found that the Cheng family has nearly thirty eighth-grade warriors. This is what I have found. This number is not much different from ours.

Also, although the Tianduan Gang has few warriors, they have a lot of ordinary people. If our warriors are pinned down, then what is the difference between the rest of the people and the Tianduan Gang?"

"Okay." At this time, Qiu Fengxing spoke, looked at his second son, and said calmly: "You are enterprising, and your father can understand this, but your sister is right, while being enterprising, we must also pay attention to where we are.

Now that the families have not completely settled down, the possibility of a change and a fight is extremely high. Otherwise, when everything is completely stable in the future, it will be difficult for everyone to fight. There is no need to discuss it any more, just wait and see. "

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking, but Qiu Chuning still left unhappily.

"Alas." Qiu Wan'er sighed slightly when she saw this.

After so long, his personality hasn't changed much.

"Sister, don't be anxious." Qiu Chuan walked over.

When Qiu Wan'er heard her third brother's words of comfort, she smiled knowingly: "You are still sensible."

Qiu Fengxing also felt helpless.

It would be great if the eldest daughter was a boy. The family would surely grow stronger under his leadership.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

What if you want to find a son-in-law?
But the thought was then thrown out of his mind.

At the same time, the other families were also discussing the matter when they received news from the Lu and He families.

But in the end, they chose to wait and see because of the distance and the situation around their homes.

They also wanted to see who the Lu family would weaken first, and then see how to target them later.

However, Liu Chengdong, who was located on East Street in the south of the city, had some ideas!
After learning about the situation in the north of the city, Liu Chengdong had no intention of interfering with the north of the city, but instead set his sights on the west of the city.

Liu's house, the main hall in the backyard.

"...Are you sure the investigation is correct? Is there any news coming from there?" Liu Chengdong looked at the spy in night clothes.

"Confirmed! The news was sent back by someone planted in the Tianduan Gang. The Lu family and the He family have already fought. But the west side of the city did not intervene.

As for the people we planted in the Lu family, we haven't contacted them yet. They must have been sent out to do something."

Now, Liu Chengdong was a little uncertain.

He originally thought that the He family and the Cheng family would join forces to destroy the Lu family, but the Cheng family didn't take any action?

The person he bribed in the He family previously spread the news that Cheng Zongyang had entered the He family.

He had guessed it at that time, but he never thought it would happen so fast that he didn't have time to react.

Now that something is happening in the north of the city, he thought that the Cheng family would cooperate with the He family to take advantage of this opportunity to seize a part of the territory in the west of the city, and then exchange positions with the Ding family. By then, the Liu family could just be connected.

But only the He family took action.

"How did this guy kidnap Lu Yan?" Liu Chengdong frowned. "Why didn't he just kill him on the spot and put an end to it all?"

"Master, are you still going to take action?" At this time, a steward asked.

Liu Chengdong did not respond, his mind was already working rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons.

After a while, he still shook his head and sighed:
"I thought it would be an opportunity, but who knew the Cheng family would be so cautious and not take action! What a pity!"

He knew very well that his neighbors were not good people, and if he dared to take people out, there was a high possibility of a fire in the backyard.

If the west of the city can be taken, or even half of it can be taken, that would be fine. But if we fail, it would be a waste of time.

Therefore, Liu Chengdong could only send people to investigate the news in the west and north of the city and not move for the time being.

If the situation changes, he really doesn't mind going to the Ding family to discuss taking over the west of the city together.

In the north of the city, the He family’s backyard.

After climbing over the wall again, Cheng Zongyang saw where the original table was. He Shuijun was still waiting, but the original table was gone, replaced by a new wooden table and chairs.

It's clear what this guy did without having to think about it.

With a "bang", Lu Yan's body was thrown aside by Cheng Zongyang. The body rolled several times and finally stopped on its back.

Cheng Zongyang clapped his hands, sat casually on the chair, and said calmly: "I sent it to you."

However, at this moment, He Shuijun looked at the corpse with his frown on his face.

He was very puzzled.

Why didn’t the larvae die?

After Cheng Zongyang left, he checked the queen insect again and found it was still very irritable.

But it gradually calmed down afterwards, which meant that the mother insect sensed the offspring again and the offspring was not dead!

So what happened before?

He ignored Cheng Zongyang and walked to the body. He first glanced at it, checked it briefly, confirmed that the appearance was correct, and then tore off his clothes.

Through the firelight in the yard, he could vaguely see the scar on his chest. Now, He Shuijun felt relieved.

At least the person is right!
Although he didn't know what the worm's previous condition was, he felt relieved that it was safe now and was absorbing the last essence of qi and blood.

He was about to carry Lu Yan's body into the room. But the next moment, Cheng Zongyang's voice came over, as if a passerby was talking to him, with a rather calm tone:
"I've given you the person. If the warrior I want is not delivered, I'm sure the other families won't want to see their neighbor as someone with Gu medical skills."

He Shuijun's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards Cheng Zongyang with murderous intent in his eyes!
Gu doctors are a taboo! But they are also very popular!

No one wants to be the target of a Gu doctor, but everyone wants to control a Gu doctor!
Cheng Zongyang didn't care about the other party's gaze at all. Instead, he met his gaze and laughed: "Remember, the number of warriors must not be less than 20. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

After saying that, he left under He Shuijun's gnashing teeth, extremely resentful but helpless gaze.

He really wanted to kill Cheng Zongyang to silence him, but he knew he was no match for him!
When he fought with Lu Yan, he was suppressed by several points each time. Lu Yan was confirmed to have been defeated by Cheng Zongyang repeatedly, and now he was even killed by having his throat crushed!

"When I break through to the sixth level tonight, I will definitely take your life!" He Shuijun raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly calmed down.

Then he turned around and continued to carry Lu Yan's body into the room.
