Chapter 71: Abandoning Your Martial Arts (Contains a brief comment on the release)

Geng Xuan said calmly:
"I thought there was going to be chaos again, and I didn't want to get dragged into it, so I went out and hid quietly for a while."

His answer was very vague, but the other two people showed a look of enlightenment on their faces, as if they immediately understood the meaning of his words.

Liang Jun nodded, but suddenly asked in a joking tone:
"Then why didn't you continue hiding? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Geng Xuan chuckled twice and replied:

"After so many days, everything is still calm inside the set, which obviously means my guess was wrong.

Then why are you hiding? Of course you have to come back quickly, my family business is all here!"

Luo Qing, who was standing beside him, had already handed a cup of hot tea to Geng Xuan, praising him:

"You are really courageous. Your family business is all here, and you leave without any hesitation.

I just couldn't do it. When those people from Wuyou Palace rushed in aggressively, I was afraid that Kang Le Ji would be caught in the vortex again, so I wanted to run out and hide, but I failed to leave and was dragging my feet.

...Fortunately, everything is fine, but I can’t say for sure.

It's okay now, but who knows if Wuyou Palace will suddenly send a fierce attack in the future? ! "

"Wuyou Palace?"

"Ah."

"how do you know?"

"Not only do I know this, but who in the group doesn't know about this?
They made such a big noise that day, and they looked like they wanted to eat all of us in Kangleji alive. Who else can they expect to keep it a secret for them?"

Geng Xuan chatted with the two for a while and took the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation of Kangle Group.

Among them, what Luo Qing said shocked him the most.

"You don't know yet?
Ever since the group of people from Wuyou Palace left, a rumor has spread in the market.

It is said that Master Fan wants to cut some meat from us to feed the people in the surrounding neighborhoods."

Geng Xuan was shocked. Liang Jun interrupted and said:

"You can't say that. Isn't this to leverage the power of the surrounding neighborhoods so that Wuyou Palace won't dare to attack us at will?

We have no relationship with the surrounding residents. If we want to lure them into this trouble, don't we have to give them a taste of something sweet?

Otherwise, why would they take the bullet for us? "

After hearing this, Luo Qing didn't say anything, but just shook his head slightly and sneered.

His behavior made Liang Jun feel more uncomfortable than being refuted in person.

Immediately get serious:

"Lao Luo, what do you mean by this? Are you laughing at me?"

"No."

"Then tell me clearly what you mean!"

Luo Qing was silent, as if he was considering something. After a while, he stood up and closed the door of the shop facing the street. After returning to his seat, he spoke:

“People have mouths on their bodies. It is not difficult to come up with a reasonable excuse as long as you are willing to use your brain.

Therefore, the key to the matter is not what a person says, but what he does.

...Liang Jun, I don't mean to take advantage of my age, but I am older than you and have seen more dirty things than you. I have suffered a lot in this regard.

Of course, it could also be that I am thinking too much and thinking too deeply about our great master's thoughts."

“But I am not making groundless accusations in this matter, there are traces to follow.

If you think about everything that Master Fan has done since he came to power, you will find that this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but was planned long ago.

Now that you believe this, I can only say that this disturbance from Wuyou Palace came at the right time!"

“Did you have a plan in mind?
How come I didn’t see that?”

Liang Jun looked hesitant, as if he didn't believe it.

"More than 80% of the vendors on Chang Street are from the neighborhood, which is also the part that has the closest connection between Kangle Center and the surrounding neighborhoods.

As soon as Master Fan came to power, he took advantage of the horse-riding incident on Chang Street that had resulted in the death of the previous master to restore order on Chang Street.

All vendors were gathered together, and each neighborhood was allowed to form a certain number of guard teams to protect the interests of each neighborhood in Kangle Market.

The hands of the surrounding districts have quietly reached into our pockets!"

Liang Jun's expression changed several times, and he said hesitantly:
"Didn't they say that this was accomplished because the surrounding lords saw that our Kangleji had just experienced turmoil and put pressure on us together?"

Luo Qing sneered:

"Jointly exert pressure? Without the tacit approval of Master Fan, or even his secret encouragement, would they have the guts to do this?"

Liang Jun frowned tightly.

Luo Qing said again:

"If it was just this one incident, it would be fine. But using such a small incident of a shrew in the neighborhood losing her child, the rules of 'sitting in the hall and reasoning' were directly changed.

Now, any conflicts and disputes involving the surrounding neighborhoods must involve their neighborhood chiefs.

Many people are still complacent about the fact that even people in the neighborhood have to listen to the decisions of Kangleji, and they think that Kangleji is more powerful than before.

But they didn't realize that these village chiefs have actually gained some of the power of the chief master."

Luo Qing looked at Liang Jun, whose brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito, and asked:

"Taking into account what is happening now, do you still think this is just a simple means to deal with Wuyou Palace?" If you still choose to believe it at this time, you would be too naive.

Through Luo Qing's narration, Liang Jun seemed to have seen the deep intention of Master Fan, who was taking every step carefully and using all factors to serve a certain purpose.

"But...but, why would he do this? What good will it do him?"

Luo Qing did not answer, but looked at Geng Xuan and asked:

"Brother Su, why do you think Master Fan did this?"

Geng Xuan had a clear mind and had no intention of revealing his inner thoughts. Instead, he said in a doubtful tone while thinking deeply:

"I don't know the specific reason, but I think he is so deliberate, it's definitely not a whim, he must have a big plan!"

Liang Jun, who was filled with emotion but didn't know where to vent, looked at Luo Qing and asked:
"What on earth is he planning?"

Luo Qing's eyes swept over him and Geng Xuan, and he said calmly:

"He wants to participate in the struggle for hegemony in troubled times!"

His answer was very brief, but his meaning was very clear.

But when these words entered Liang Jun's ears, they sounded like thunder, making his scalp numb. Gradually, an emotion called fear appeared on his face.

He murmured, "Yes, yes, it must be so, it must be so!"

It's not that he is slow, it's just that this matter seems too high and too far away from him, and even the entire Kang Le Group.

If no one mentions it, who would think in this direction?
But now, when he looked in this direction under the guidance of Luo Qing, he was immediately certain that Master Fan's purpose could only be this!
Since the death of Emperor Yuan, heroes, overlords and tyrants have emerged one after another. They all want to unify the broken nine provinces and become the masters of the nine provinces.

The darkness and turmoil that lasted for more than three hundred years made all the people of Yuanzhou understand one thing: the "common ruler of the world" who would eventually be born could only be born in the other eight states, and would never appear in Yuanzhou, which was "the center of the world."

Because if any person or force in Yuanzhou shows such signs, it will immediately be met with endless storms, open and covert attacks.

Until the person and his bloodline are completely wiped out, or the entire force is uprooted, this attack from unknown source will not stop.

Every time such a blow is dealt, the "splash damage" caused will be borne by the entire Yuanzhou.

Any outstanding person or force in Yuanzhou will be dealt with as well.

Since we are here now, why not do something that is convenient for us?

Over and over again, this story has been played out for more than three hundred years.

The people of Yuanzhou are tired, exhausted and afraid.

They adopted a self-defeating approach.

Except for the lowest lifang, which still retains its institutional characteristics and can carry out militarized operations.

Those more powerful forces that could have ruled a region or controlled an area gradually turned into gangs and guilds.

Their common characteristic is that although they have powerful military force, they are completely disconnected from the lower-level neighborhoods. Not only can they not get nutrients and help from the neighborhoods, but they are also feared and even hated by the people in the neighborhoods.

They can continue to suck blood from the entire Yuanzhou, and the damage inflicted on the entire Yuanzhou has not decreased at all, but in the eyes of the heroes of the other eight states who are always wary of Yuanzhou, this is a sign that Yuanzhou has voluntarily withdrawn from the battle for hegemony over the Nine States.

Not only will they not crack down on such "blood-sucking worms", they will even condone their existence.

This brought about a wonderful phenomenon: in the past two hundred years since Yuanzhou "disarmed itself", the chaos and suffering of the middle and lower classes did not decrease, but the upper class experienced a rare stability.

Throughout Yuanzhou, there are many forces or families that have existed for more than a hundred years or even two hundred years.

Looking at Master Fan's behavior from this perspective, his purpose is obvious.

"He is looking for death!"

"How dare he? How dare he?"

Liang Jun murmured, with a look of disbelief on his face.

You know, the current Yuanzhou has already evolved an "anti-hegemony physique".

If there are still "delusional" people in Yuanzhou, there is no need for people from other states to take action, as such "cancers" will be eliminated internally.

"You are giving up your peaceful life and dragging us all to death!"

If we don't kill beasts like this quickly, are you thinking that life is too peaceful?

Because of such changes, even if there are still those who are "delusional", they will not stay in Yuanzhou and will go to other states obediently.

Therefore, Liang Jun, who thought he had seen the truth after being enlightened by Luo Qing, felt so incredible.

Master Fan Qifan might be considered a big shot in Kangle Village, but in the whole Yuanzhou, he is just an insignificant little person.

Why should he?!
……

Geng Xuan's emotions were not as exposed as Liang Jun's, but he also played his role well.

As Liang Jun and Luo Qing's communication deepened, they were shocked when they should be shocked and frowned when they should frown, without any ambiguity.

At this moment, he also looked incredulous like Liang Jun.

Luo Qing's eyes swept over the two of them from time to time, as if he was examining them and judging them.

Comments on the launch:

It was released at noon today. I originally wanted to postpone this chapter and make it a VIP chapter, so that the update data on the first day after the release would look better. After thinking about it, I decided not to. I am now writing, and I will try to make the chapter released at noon as long as possible. I also hope that all readers who have followed this far will support me by making a first order.

Thank you very much!!!
