Chapter 97
Zhang Ling was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said: "There is danger on the way? Could it be that someone is going to deal with us on the way? When did you get the information? Is there any information about the enemies?"

Master Gu shook his head and said, "You're thinking too much. It's Missy's cousin who is here."

Zhang Ling said suspiciously: "It should be a good thing that Missy's cousin is here! Why does the face of the master..."

Master Gu shook his head and said: "It is indeed a good thing if other cousins ​​come. However, it is not a good thing for this one called Qiu Lianfeng. I am sure that at this time, the young miss is likely to be with this cousin. My brother is arguing!"

Zhang Ling suddenly became interested, and asked vigorously, "How do you say this? It sounds complicated?"

Master Gu sighed slightly and said: "Since you are willing to learn alchemy from me, and I am the alchemist of Qiu Risi, and the eldest lady is the boss of Qiu Risi, I can also tell you about her in detail. said."

Zhang Ling hurriedly moved the stool, took the lead, and listened attentively.

It is estimated that many men will be interested in the story about Qiu Jingxiang.He is no exception.

Master Gu said with a bitter tone: "Actually, Missy is not as beautiful as outsiders describe... She is actually very bitter..."

Probably because he is getting older and his mind is not clear enough. Master Gu's descriptions are a bit chaotic, and often the preface does not match the afterword.However, this does not prevent him from expressing his meaning.With Zhang Ling's experience as a person, most of the details can be made up by oneself.After listening for a while, Zhang Ling understood a little bit.

Dare to, Qiu Jingxiang's status in Qiu's house in Hongfeng City is relatively humble.

Qiu Jingxiang's parents have both passed away.She was raised by her grandfather.Her grandfather loves her very much, which is the main reliance on her status.Unfortunately, her grandfather also passed away three years ago.Before she arrived in Wulin Town, she just took off the mourning clothes on her body.Due to her grandfather's death, her status in the Qiu family was inevitably threatened.

For a huge family like the Qiu family, the internal struggle will only be more intense than that of the Xia family in Wulin town.Qiu Fengqi, the Patriarch of the Qiu Family, has a bad relationship with another powerful figure of the Qiu Family, Qiu Yinong.And Qiu Yinong is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of Yanteng Empire, which is a very important position.

Originally, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in the Yanteng Empire has always been held by the head of the Qiu family.However, due to many shady scenes and black-box operations, it turned out to be Qiu Yinong in the end.As for Qiu Fengqi, the Patriarch of the Qiu Family, he did not hold any position in the court of Yan Teng Empire.According to folklore, he was also secretly suppressed by the Mu family of the Yan Teng Empire.

Such a structure will naturally cause internal strife in the Qiu family.Qiu Fengqi is the Patriarch of the Qiu Family, logically speaking, he should have the greatest power.However, Qiu Yinong is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Yanteng Empire, and has great influence in the court.Of course he will not easily accept Qiu Fengqi's jurisdiction.The emperor of Yanteng Empire obviously supported Qiu Yinong.In this way, Qiu Fengqi did not dare to act rashly.

The current Qiu family has a beautiful appearance, magnificent and splendid, and it seems that it is still an incomparably huge Juren, compared with the other three families, it is not inferior.However, its interior already contains huge hidden worries.Once the battle between Qiu Fengqi and Qiu Yi Nong enters a fierce stage, the Qiu family is likely to disintegrate.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Qiu Jingxiang is the young lady of the Qiu family, who belongs to the four major families, and is indeed very beautiful and condescending.However, within the Qiu family, as a woman, her status is obviously not comparable to that of her elder brothers or younger brothers.

No matter at any time, the idea of ​​patriarchy over women is deeply rooted in the Beast Martial Continent.In name, Qiu Jingxiang is also the heir of the Qiu family, and it is possible to inherit the property of the Qiu family.However, the premise is that only a dozen or even dozens of people who have the same inheritance right before her are dead, so that she can obtain the inheritance right.And Qiu Lianfeng, the fifth young master who came to Wulin Town this time, is one of the very hopeful ones who will inherit the Qiu family.

Zhang Ling couldn't help asking, "What is Qiu Lianfeng doing here?"

Master Gu said disdainfully: "Isn't it just to get the support of the eldest lady?"

Master Yan who came later added: "Missy is a neutral faction and does not participate in any power struggles."

Master Yan said regretfully: "It's a pity that the eldest lady also has a vote. If the fifth young master wants to successfully ascend to the throne of the Qiu family's Patriarch, he must obtain the support of the majority of people. Therefore, the eldest The vote in the lady's hand is also very important. However, the eldest lady has never been very cold towards him. He just wants to take the eldest lady into surgery."

Zhang Ling asked suspiciously: "Surgery? How to do it? Do it?"

Master Yan said coldly: "Either, it is to collect the autumn Japanese silk. Or, it is to crush the autumn Japanese silk!"

He explained in detail that Qiu Japanese silk was the private property of Qiu Jingxiang's grandfather. It was developed by Qiu Jingxiang's grandfather and was later handed over to Qiu Jingxiang.After Qiu Jingxiang's further efforts, it is possible to achieve the scale it is today.In essence, the Qiu Japanese silk belongs to Qiu Jingxiang's private possession, not to the Qiu family in Hongfeng City.

Inside the Qiu family, there are quite a few industries.Among them, the business of elixir is the most.For example, the Wufeng Hall under the name of Qiu Lianfeng is also famous for refining elixirs, and there is a direct competitive relationship with Qiu Japanese silk.In many large and medium-sized cities, the competition between Wufengtang and Qiuyuesi is ubiquitous.Taking advantage of the advantages of the family business, Wufengtang has suppressed the autumn Japanese silk in many ways.Especially after the death of Qiu Jingxiang's grandfather, Wufengtang's persecution became more and more excessive.

In order to avoid Wufengtang's aggressive offensive, Qiu Jingxiang chose a remote place to open a shop.For example, open Qiurisi to a small place like Wulin Town.However, Qiu Lianfeng was still quite dissatisfied.He not only wants to get Qiu Jingxiang's support, but also wants to annex Qiu Japanese silk.He once made it clear that Qiu Risi would be merged into Wufengtang, and he would be in full charge.

Qiu Lianfeng's ambition is great, and he has received strong support from his grandfather.Qiu Fengqi wants to fight against Qiu Yinong, who is the minister of the Yanteng Empire's Ministry of Industry, and must find ways to strengthen his own strength.And Qiu Jingxiang without the support of her grandfather is a good target to devour.

However, although Qiu Jingxiang is a woman, her status in the Qiu family is not high, but her personality is quite staunch, and she refuses to agree to Qiu Lianfeng's coercion. As a result, the two sides fell out.This time, the superiors deliberately ordered Qiu Jingxiang to come to Wulin Town, and there was a purpose behind it.It's just that Qiu Jingxiang has been swallowing her anger and has not broken face with her family.

Zhang Ling frowned and said, "What exactly is Qiu Lianfeng going to do this time?"

Master Yan said worriedly: "It is said that the situation in Hongfeng City is serious, and Qiu Lianfeng may have a formal showdown."

Master Gu also sighed anxiously and said: "Qiu Lianfeng is the most beloved grandson of the Patriarch, and what he is adhering to is the Patriarch's will. The backstage is very tough. I'm afraid this time, the eldest lady will be in danger!"

……

In the small living room of Qiu Japanese silk, Qiu Jingxiang and Qiu Lianfeng sat opposite each other.

The meeting between the two did not have the joy of meeting cousins ​​at all.On the contrary, like an enemy.

Qiu Lianfeng made no secret of his intention to come, and straight to the point, he asked Qiu Jingxiang to merge Qiu Japanese silk.

The result is predictable, his request was flatly rejected by Qiu Jingxiang.

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "Little sister, you have to think clearly."

Qiu Jingxiang said firmly: "I have nothing to think about, I will not support you."

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "Have you forgotten the property of Hongfeng City?"

Qiu Jingxiang snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Didn't you already take it secretly? What else do I have?"

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "Your team of alchemists in Hongfeng City have already joined my sect. Now, there are only Gu Ruohua and Yan Zhihao by your side. One, can it support the entire autumn Japanese silk?"

Qiu Jingxiang said coldly: "If Qiu Risi goes bankrupt, isn't that what you want to see the most?"

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "Okay, okay, okay, since that's the case, I won't say anything more. The door of our Wufeng Hall will always be open to you. As long as you are willing to vote for me, I will bring Akihito back from the dead."

Qiu Jingxiang raised her eyebrows and said resolutely: "Even if I become a beggar, I will not vote for you!"

Qiu Lianfeng stood up, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Okay, since this is the case, I have no choice but to give up on you. This is the alchemy task assigned to our Qiu family by the imperial court this year. I also have one. I hope you can complete it according to the quality and quantity. Otherwise, haha, you know the temper of the old emperor. Now, you don’t have grandpa to protect you!"

As he spoke, he put a list on the table and walked out of the hall with a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Qiu Jingxiang took the list and glanced at it, her face flushed slightly, obviously really angry.She stared at Qiu Lianfeng's back, and said slowly: "Qiu Lianfeng, thanks to you being my cousin, you can do such a despicable and shameless thing!"

Qiu Lianfeng didn't turn his head, and said coldly: "Who told you not to steal my vote?"

Qiu Jingxiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted sharply: "Get out! Get out!"

Qiu Lianfeng deliberately sneered a few times and walked away.

……

Seeing Qiu Lianfeng leave, Zhang Ling and others hurried into the living room to inquire about the situation.

Qiu Jingxiang tried hard to control her emotions, and said bitterly: "Qiu Lianfeng took over my team of alchemists in Hongfeng City."

Master Gu and Master Yan immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to say.None of them thought that Qiu Lianfeng would be so decisive in doing things.He actually took the bottom line and took over all of Qiu Rusi's team of alchemists.This is tantamount to digging the roots of autumn Japanese silk!Without her own team of alchemists, can Qiu Risi continue to manage elixirs?

No need to ask, there must be the authority of Qiu Fengqi, the Patriarch of the Qiu family, in it.Otherwise, Qiu Lianfeng's charm alone would definitely not be able to do it.Qiu Jingxiang is usually good to those alchemists, it is impossible for Qiu Lianfeng to buy them off.Only Qiu Fengqi himself could force those alchemists to submit.After all, Qiu Fengqi is the head of the Qiu family, his status is too high.

However, if Qiu Fengqi did this, it would be tantamount to cutting off the future development prospects of Qiu Rusi.
