Chapter 162 Changxing Inn (Part )

"Song Gongzi, do you really think that you can induce the Mongolian court to raise an army to attack the Xianwang Mansion with just those two pieces of trash?"

Soon after Old Man Liu and Meihua left, Qin San couldn't wait to ask about the confusion in his heart.

Song Yu smiled without saying anything, slowly poured a cup of tea for Qin San, pushed it in front of him, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Qin San, why are you so impatient? Drink a cup of hot tea for now, and I will explain it to you slowly."

Qin San glanced at the teacup, picked it up suspiciously and took a sip, then spat it out with a "pfft", sticking out his tongue repeatedly while complaining, "What kind of tea is this? It's so bitter."

"It's the bitter tea from Jingjiang Prefecture." Song Yu poured himself a drink and said in a low voice, intoxicated, "It has a unique aroma, rich and mellow fragrance, a blend of sweetness and bitterness, and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth." After praising it, he turned to look at Qin San, who had a bitter face, and smiled, "Doesn't Mr. Qin San like to taste tea?"

"I can't get used to it!" Qin San pushed the teacup away and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's still best to drink it in big gulps! This tea is bitter and astringent. After drinking it, my throat is dry and my stomach is bloated. It really doesn't taste good."

Hearing this, Song Yu actually burst into laughter and said, "Although wine is refreshing, it makes the mind confused. Although tea is bitter, it is refreshing and refreshing."

"I don't understand! I don't understand!" Qin San was confused and waved his hands. "Why do you people from Jinjianwu all look like pedantic scholars, fond of writing and talking in a confusing way? How can you be like people from the martial arts world?"

Hearing Qin San's sarcasm, Song Yu laughed instead of getting angry, and said, "Forget it! Forget it! I'll tell you, I don't expect the Qin Demon and Wu Yao to really convince the Mongolian court. Even if they can convince the Mongolian court, I believe this is true, the Mongols will never march to the gates of Luoyang. Why? Because Luoyang belongs to the heartland of the Central Plains, and now it is under the rule of the Mongols. The overall situation has been decided, and the royal power has been consolidated. How can the Mongolian Khan waste troops and money on his own territory?"

"If that's the case, why do you still let them go?" Qin San asked puzzledly.

"Why do we still eat when we know we will be hungry soon after eating?" Song Yu explained, "What the owner of the dock meant is that even if this move cannot destroy the Xianwang Mansion in one fell swoop, it can make the Mongolian court dissatisfied with Luo Tianjin. Therefore, even if the Mongols do not raise troops to attack, they will still use other means to target the Xianwang Mansion. In short, once the Mongolian court intends to deal with him, even if Luo Tianjin is lucky enough not to die, he will definitely be skinned alive."

Qin San nodded as if he understood, and sneered, "No matter what the Mongolian court decides, I don't think these two people, the Qin Demon and the Wu Yao, will have a good ending. With Luo Tianjin's death, they have lost their value. It is useless to keep them, and it will be a disaster, so you must kill them. If Luo Tianjin is not dead, the Xianwang Mansion will definitely not let them go. With Luo Tianjin's character, even if he chases them to the ends of the earth, he will definitely cut them into pieces to relieve his hatred. It seems that these two people will not be able to enjoy the ten thousand taels of gold you promised them in this lifetime."

"Now that the matter is settled, they have no choice." Song Yu chuckled nonchalantly, "Since they are on our boat, they must follow our instructions. Otherwise, I can take their heads in a moment and exchange them for a thousand taels of gold from Luo Tianjin. Haha..."

"He is so unscrupulous. It seems that Master Jinwu really hates Luo Tianjin."

Song Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that my master hates him, but Luo Tianjin provoked my Golden Sword Dock first, and the master is just returning the favor."

The root cause of this matter lies in the grudges between the various sects when they were fighting for the Jingfenghuayutu last year.

Qin San said angrily: "The Xianwang Mansion has been too rampant in the past few years, and Luo Tianjin is even more unruly and arrogant. He simply doesn't take the heroes of the martial arts world seriously. Someone really needs to discipline him!"

Song Yu stared at Qin San meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "Does Luo Tianjin not take the heroes of Jianghu seriously? Or does he not take your Hexi Qin family seriously?"

Hearing this, Qin San was stunned and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Song, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? Our Qin family and Pan family are from the same clan, and the 'Xuanshui Sword Technique' passed down by our ancestors should naturally be practiced by those who are capable. The ten-year agreement between the head of the family and Pan Chuba was originally a private matter between the Qin and Pan families, but Luo Tianjin insisted on interfering. Not only did the Xianwang Mansion support the Pan family, but he also dragged the Shaolin Sect into collusion. It's really hateful."

"In fact, Luo Tianjin knows very well that the Pan family today is definitely not a match for the Hexi Qin family." Song Yu said, "But the Xianwang Mansion and Shaolin Sect still insist on helping the Pan family. Their intentions are not good!"

"What do you mean by unkind? It's clearly evil!" Qin San snorted angrily, "The venue for the competition was chosen to be Shaolin, and this competition was to be held privately. Neither invitations were sent out to heroes, nor were those who were interested allowed to go to Shaolin to watch the competition. This is enough to show Luo Tianjin's sinister intentions."

Song Yu asked back with interest: "Then what do you think Luo Tianjin's intention is?"

"He wants to seize the 'Xuanshui Sword Skill'." Qin San said bluntly, "Mr. Song is not an outsider. You should know that the Guihai Sword Sect left behind two volumes of sword manuals, the Chihuo and Xuanshui. My Hexi Qin family has practiced the unparalleled sword skills in the world with only the Chihuo Volume, which is feared by the martial arts world. Luo Tianjin must be jealous, so he wants to seize the 'Xuanshui Volume'. On the one hand, he can strengthen the strength of his Xianwang Mansion, and on the other hand, he can suppress my Hexi Qin family to prevent us from becoming stronger day by day." "Yes!" Song Yu nodded, "If the Hexi Qin family gets the Xuanshui Volume, their strength will be greatly increased. You are in the north with the Xianwang Mansion. When the head of the Qin family practices the unparalleled Guihai Sword Skill, he will stand up and compete with Luo Tianjin for the throne of the first person in the northern martial arts world. By then, the status of the Northern Xianwang will be lost, and the Xianwang Mansion will also gradually decline. How can Luo Tianjin not set up defenses in advance now?"

"This is also the reason why the head of the family asked for help from the head of Jinwu." Qin San said hurriedly, "A few months ago, the head of the family wrote a letter in person and sent it to the abbot of Shaolin Xuanming, telling him that on the first day of March, if Pan Chuba brings people from the Xianwang Mansion to increase momentum, then my Hexi Qin family will invite friends from Jinjianwu to help. It is both emotional and reasonable, and in line with the rules of the martial arts world, so as to prevent people from bullying the few with the majority and the weak with the strong."

"I wonder if Xuanming can agree to this?"

"With the handwritten letter from the head of the family, how could Xuanming dare not agree?" Qin San said with a proud smile.

Song Yu nodded solemnly and said, "The owner of the Wudang asked me to pass on a message to the owner of the Qin Mansion. The Jinjianwu will definitely help with this matter and is willing to stand together with the Hexi Qin family."

"That's great!" Qin San nodded repeatedly, "With the strength of the Hexi Qin family, plus the strong support of the Golden Sword Dock, we are bound to win the 'Xuan Shui Xia Juan'. Even if the Xianwang Mansion and the Shaolin Sect protect the Pan family together, we will not be afraid! Haha..."

"Shaolin is the ancestor of the martial arts world. There are so many masters in the temple. No matter how well we prepare, we are still living in Shaolin. We must not be too presumptuous and should be careful about everything." Song Yu said solemnly, "May I ask Mr. Qin San, who will the Qin family send to compete with the Pan family on the first day of March?"

"Originally, the head of the family wanted the three of us brothers to take on this important task, but later on, out of caution against the Xianwang Mansion and the Shaolin Sect, in case the Pan family plotted something, he decided to let Uncle Jiu replace my eldest brother." Qin San replied, "So the people who will be participating in the competition this time are Uncle Jiu, my second brother and me."

"Uncle Nine?" Song Yu's face suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise, "The Uncle Nine that Mr. Qin San is talking about, is it the famous 'Lame Swordsman' Qin Tianjiu in the martial arts world?"

"That's exactly him." Qin San was not surprised by Song Yu's reaction, and even laughed proudly, "Uncle Jiu is willing to condescend to participate in this kind of competition, which is considered to be giving enough face to the Pan family. Haha..."

Song Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "If the 'Lame Swordsman' comes in person, as long as the Pan family does not deliberately break the rules, the lower volume of Xuanshui will definitely be in your pocket. I really didn't expect that for the sake of the Pan family, the Qin Mansion Master would actually send Qin Tianjiu out."

“Sir Song, I, Qin San, am not bragging to you. Since our ancestor founded the Hexi Qin family, there have been many heroes and masters, and talented people have emerged one after another. This is why our Qin family has become the latecomer among the four great martial arts families.” Qin San was very happy and proud, and even a little carried away, laughing, “Our ancestor Qin Gang was a world-renowned figure in the past, so let’s not talk about him. Among the Qin family’s descendants who are still alive, there are three…”

At this point, Qin San's words suddenly stopped, and he quickly changed his words: "There are two of them, martial arts geniuses who are unrivaled in the world. Little do you know that as long as one of these geniuses appears, it will be enough to shock the martial arts world and ensure the prosperity of our family for decades. What's more, two of them appear at once? Haha... In this way, how can our Hexi Qin family not be strong?"

"That's right!" Song Yu smiled calmly, "Both the Qin family's Patriarch, 'Ba Dao' Qin Ming, and 'Lame Swordsman' Qin Tianjiu, are definitely among the best masters in the martial arts world. Most importantly, they are now in their prime. No one knows what level of accomplishment their martial arts will reach in a few years. Therefore, the future of the Qin family must be limitless."

"Haha..." Being praised by Song Yu like this, even though Qin San was so shameless, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"But there is one thing I don't understand." Song Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked suspiciously, "People only know that the Qin family has two masters who are equally matched, but just now Mr. Qin San said 'three'? But I don't know who the other person is besides 'Ba Dao' and 'Lame Swordsman'?"

Being asked by Song Yu suddenly, Qin San's face changed slightly, and he evaded the question randomly: "Did I say three people? No! I said two! Mr. Song, you must have heard it wrong. Hehe..."

Song Yu saw that Qin San's words were vague and his expression was dazed, which was obviously a guilty conscience, so he deliberately lied to deceive. However, for a straightforward person like Qin San, lying was really a difficult thing. His evasive eyes, hesitant tone, helpless expression, and inverted words all betrayed his inner anxiety.

Seeing this, Song Yu did not continue to ask. However, at this moment, in his heart, he could not help but connect the third person that Qin San just blurted out with the other person he met today.
