Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 21 Conflict
At noon the next day, the three brothers Kang Dabao drove a donkey cart to "Miaoyunzhai".

Miaoyunzhai at this point is not much different from ordinary restaurants, except that there is a little more scent of cosmetics in the air.

It was just that the He family did not have the ability to purchase this property in Xuanwei City. Kang Dabao knew that this was a business started by several foundation-building masters behind the scenes.

However, most of the foundation-building masters were too lazy to care about it, and it was not decent to tell others about the flesh-and-blood trade, so one of the foundation-building masters who participated in the investment designated a member of the He family to act as the white glove.

He Degong came out of a private room with a smile on his face, walked quickly to the lobby, and saluted, saying, "My younger brother greets you two brothers, Brother Jiang."

Kang Dabao returned the greeting and carefully looked at his brother. He estimated that he had not seen this brother for nearly twenty years.

He Degong is about thirty years old, but his cultivation is not high. He is only at the fourth level of Qi training, but he has a good appearance.

Who would have thought that the little fat boy back then has grown into a handsome uncle now.

It’s hard to describe how handsome he is, but he just feels like Duan Yu’s cheap dad.

In simple terms, it is a kind of bad and dangerous aura? In my previous life, there were many girls who liked this.

"I haven't seen you two brothers for many years, and I miss you so much!" He Degong sighed, not knowing whether it was true or not.

He first pulled Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin to sit down, and then politely gave way to Jiang Qing before sitting down. After that, the smart maid served tea.

He Degong chatted with the three people for a long time about this so-called high-quality tea before getting to the point.

"Brother Jiang is one of the most talented people among us brothers. My brother originally wanted to invite him to take charge of several important caravans.

It's just that I'm short of manpower now, so I shamelessly invited Brother Jiang to come over. But don't worry, the salary is still in accordance with what I agreed with Brother Jiang, and I will never let my family suffer a loss."

He Degong said this with a smile, and hurriedly sent his lovely maid to bring all kinds of delicious savory and sweet snacks, looking very warm.

"Brother He, you are thoughtful." Yuan Jin nodded. He knew the difference.

The several caravans led by the head of the He family were all escorting important goods, so the guards they hired were at least in the middle stage of Qi training, and there were even some veteran cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

The guards under He Degong are of mixed quality. Even a Qi training level one or two cultivator with a few tricks can come here to make a living.

If there is a real shortage of manpower, even quasi-cultivators like Duan Anle and Han Yundao can come and make up the numbers.

The treatment between the two cannot be confused.

"So, Brother He always took the western section of the Jackdaw Mountain, which is the route from the Wei family's Wuyoufang - the She family's Ding'anfang - the Xu family's Beiyinfang?"

Kang Dabao was used to doing business, and he could figure out the general situation by counting on his fingers.

"Sometimes we go to the southern section as well. The head of the Mi family in Mijia Village is an old acquaintance of my brother. The He family caravan can pass smoothly there as long as they follow the usual procedures. As for other small villages, most of them are old friends of the He family, so you don't have to worry, brother." He Degong added.

Kang Dabao had heard of this "Mi family boss".

It is rumored that he has three hundred wizards under his command and a strange spell. Although he has only become famous for a short time, his methods are indeed powerful.

Some idle people in the market once said that he could fight with ordinary foundation building people, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

However, Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin felt relieved after hearing this. Protecting a caravan has never been a peaceful job, and what He Degong said was certainly exaggerated.

But if the power of Mijiazhai can be eliminated, this trade route in the southern section of Jackdaw Mountain will be much safer.

As for fighting with other small forces, it is inevitable. Otherwise, why would the He family employ so many guards?
Jiang Qing secretly frowned, he was not just going there to earn spirit stones, he also had the idea of ​​fighting with the strong men in the underworld, if everything went smoothly, then what was the point?
At this time, several more people came down from the box on the second floor. Leading them was a fat Taoist with white eyebrows and wide ears. His face was flushed and he reeked of alcohol.

He didn't even look at who was sitting there. He bowed to He Degong and called out, "Second Boss."

Then he sat down in the empty seat next to He Degong, patted the plump breasts of the girl who served tea, and seeing the latter's frightened expression, he first laughed loudly, then shouted at her to serve tea.

"It turns out to be this bastard." Kang Dabao secretly laughed when he saw the sinister look that flashed across He Degong's eyes.

No wonder the second son of the He family wanted to borrow the third son. It turned out that he encountered a situation where the guest was bullying the host. No wonder.

Kang Dabao knew the man who came downstairs. He was also a casual cultivator who was doing business. His name was Wang Daoqiong. His cultivation was not bad. He was already at the sixth level of Qi training.

It's just that he has very poor foresight. He has been doing business for so many years and is now in his sixties or seventies. I haven't heard that he has earned much spiritual stones, but he has a lot of enemies.

After hanging around for so many years, I haven't made any name for myself, but instead I have gained a reputation as a dislikeable person.

I haven't seen you for several years. I never thought that you would come to the He family to eat for free.

However, this man's methods are quite ordinary. He is also at the sixth level of Qi training. If he meets people like Niu Guier and Gu Laoliu, I am afraid that all his flesh and blood will be fed to the little ghosts in less than half a minute.

He Degong suppressed his anger and introduced Wang Daoqiong to the three men. The Taoist laughed it off as a greeting to the three brothers, which made everyone unhappy.

"It really deserves to be called 'annoying'." Kang Dabao shook his head secretly.

His arrival disturbed everyone's conversation, so they could only chat about some family matters.

"My mother hasn't seen you brothers for many years, but she misses you all the time." "It's really our fault that we, the younger generation, haven't paid our respects to you for many years. When Brother He is free someday, I will come to visit you."

Kang Dabao knew that his master's wife's younger sister was a snobbish person, and that the two families did not have much contact when his master was still alive.

At this time, Chongmingzong had fallen into a state of disgrace. How could he still think of his three poor juniors?
However, He Degong's words were obviously intended to bring the two families closer together, so there was naturally no reason to say it out loud.

But at times like this, there are always some rogues who want to jump out to show their presence.

"I was wondering why the boss wanted to invite a kid who had never seen blood to join the caravan. It turns out there is this relationship. That's not surprising, but you have to know that what we are doing is risking our lives."

Before Wang Daoqiong could finish his words, he felt a chill in his throat.

When he looked closely, he saw a sharp sword hanging half an inch away from his throat. He was so frightened that his whole body went numb and he could no longer speak.

Hanging at his throat was naturally Jiang Qing's three-turn Qingfeng sword. Kang Dabao frowned upon seeing this. If this third brother doesn't change his temper, he will be used as a knife sooner or later.

This move shocked everyone present, especially the other guards under He Degong.

After all, Wang Daoqiong’s cultivation is not weak, and usually everyone tends to follow him as the leader.

Normally, he was arrogant even when facing He Degong, the second owner, but he didn't expect that he would fall so easily into the hands of this handsome young man.

This dealt a heavy blow to his prestige.

"Third brother!" Yuan Jin frowned and scolded. In the future, they would all be fellow travelers working in the same caravan, so why should he become enemies with him? Do you have eyes on your back? Why aren't you afraid of anything?
"Alas, Brother Wang spoke out of turn. Why are you doing this, Brother Jiang? Just stop it quickly." He Degong smiled secretly and stepped forward to persuade him.

Jiang Qing snorted coldly, then waved his hand to put the sword back into his sleeve.

"Hmph!" Wang Daoqiong didn't want to lose face, so he snorted despite being covered in sweat.

"Mr. Wang, what are you humming?" Kang Dabao stood up at this time, surprising everyone.

He Degong thought that this brother was a soft-tempered child like dough, and was very gentle when getting along with him. Could it be that he hadn't seen him for many years and his personality had changed?

"What does Sect Leader Kang mean by this?"

Kang Dabao had been in business for so many years but he had no reputation to speak of. No one knew what he had just done to the four ghosts of the Liu family, so Wang Daoqiong was not afraid of him.

"You've lived to this age and still don't know how to be careful. Do I need to tell you that the mouth can cause trouble? We brothers are not vicious people, but we are not easy to mess with! There are still living people in your Beishan Pond!"

Kang Dabao spoke fiercely, and everyone present understood what he meant.

Kang Dabao knew clearly that it was never easy to mix in the circle of low-level independent cultivators.

Since Wang Daoqiong and Chongmingzong have already formed a feud, it is absolutely unacceptable to bow your head and admit defeat, as it will only make the other party think that you are weak and can be bullied.

It’s better to do something extreme so that people will be scared when they think about it.

Wang Daoqiong fell silent after hearing what was said. He was not necessarily convinced by Jiang Qing's sword attack earlier. After all, there was some carelessness on his part.

But he couldn't help but take Kang Dabao's words to heart.

Even if we calculate according to the centenarianism of Qi Refining cultivators who can live to be two and a half centuries old, I am already buried in the ground to my waist and don't have much time left to live.

He has thousands of mortal relatives, but not a single descendant who is a cultivator, let alone any friends with whom he could dies.

Even if we are not afraid of Jiang Qing alone, we cannot defeat the three brothers. You have to know that the oldest among them, Kang Dabao, is not even forty years old. We have to be afraid of them!

What's more, it was indeed my fault for speaking out of turn first.

After figuring out the key point, Wang Daoqiong bowed to Jiang Qingshen in a very dignified manner, and the latter reluctantly returned the bow with a cold face.

At least this matter is over on the surface.

He Degong stepped forward and asked the two to shake hands and make peace, but he saw Kang Dabao looking at him meaningfully. He knew that Kang Dabao saw through his thoughts, so he turned around and went to arrange the first drink of the peace.

Kang Dabao turned around and discussed with Yuan Jin: "This feud is because of the second son of the He family. You should go and give him a lesson later so that he will remember it.

His brother is powerful, but not so powerful that he can use us brothers as knives. Besides, Wang Daoqiong is half buried in the ground and has no back. Since we have offended him, we might as well offend him to the end. "

His words were obscure, but as a fellow apprentice for decades, how could Yuan Jin not understand what he meant? He stood up and went to look for He Degong.

Kang Dabao stood up with a smile, and pulled Jiang Qing, who had a sour face, to talk to Wang Daoqiong, as if he wanted the two to reconcile.

This made Wang Daoqiong feel a lot more comfortable, thinking that although Kang Dabao's fighting skills were not very good, he was a good person.
