Zhao Huaiyi's source of information was not Fengming Mansion, but Qingmu Mansion next door, where his youngest daughter married the son of a third-generation wealthy businessman in Qingmu Mansion.

Unlike Gu Qing, who saw that troubled times were coming from military preparations.

Qingmu Mansion was the source of the chaos.

"The mighty Zhou Tianwang?"

Gu Qing was confused as he listened to the name of this traitor and asked in confusion.

"But he is a strong man above the master?"

"No."

Zhao Huaiyi shook his head.

"Zhou Tianwang is a warrior who has cultivated his internal energy to the peak. He is born with supernatural power. He was a water bandit before and did not become big."

"Later, he colluded with local officials, set up private customs on the waterway, recruited soldiers, and took over the four waters and eighteen mountains of Qingmu Mansion. He was known as a hundred thousand righteous men and came with great momentum."

Gu Qing was speechless.

"Has he rebelled openly?"

"Of course, otherwise how did he get this nickname?"

"Do you think he can take down Qingmu and Fengming?"

Zhao Huaiyi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"No."

"Then why are you hiding? Aren't you afraid that your business will be taken away?"

"Brother, aren't you here too? Money is more important than life. We are not afraid of ten thousand but afraid of one. We lack strength. No matter the court or the rebels, we want to take advantage of us."

"You are open-minded."

Zhao Huaiyi is greedy by nature and haggles over every penny. However, he advances and retreats in moderation at critical moments and does not covet a single needle or thread. No wonder he can manage the Zhao Mansion so well.

However, it is still too outrageous for a mere inner Qi realm warrior to want to encircle the land and become the king. There may be a chess player behind him.

Just like Gu Qing's previous training experience.

The twelve states of Yan State are mostly mountainous, forested and swampy, and are rich in various precious medicines. The difficulty of martial arts practice is actually not as high as imagined. With the support of the Zhao family, people of average talent can practice quickly.

Not to mention the rich and powerful.

I think the Zhao family also has a foundation in martial arts. Zhao Huaiyi's lack of practice does not mean that the Zhao family has no masters. It is just a win-win cooperation with Gu Qing.

"Speaking of it, the famous masters of the Grandmaster Realm in Yan State are almost all old people. Are there any young masters?"

Gu Qing suddenly changed the subject, which made Zhao Huaiyi stunned.

He paused for a moment, as if thinking.

"There should be some, but their record is not outstanding and their reputation is not big."

"I remember that Fengming Mansion produced a genius more than ten years ago. He was perfect in the internal energy realm at the age of eighteen. Later, he joined the Sword Casting Villa and there was no movement."

"Sword Casting Villa?"

"Yes, its owner is a master of the Grandmaster Realm, known as the first sword in Yan State. Its power is rich in sword casting masters. Many young swordsmen are willing to work for it for many years in order to get a sword."

After Gu Qing's life was guaranteed, he basically never left Qishan County. He didn't know much about the outside world, and he was even a little ignorant.

This is the first time I heard of the Sword Casting Villa, and I couldn't help but curious.

"Your smelting level is comparable to mine."

"Ha, Brother Gu is a young and brave man."

"Let's put it this way, the ten most famous swords of Yan State all come from the Sword Forging Villa."

That's not bad, Gu Qing thought.

"Let's not talk about the digression. Brother Gu, you come here at this time to ask about the Five Beasts' Heart Blood?"

"That's one reason."

"The second reason is that Brother Zhao wants to avoid disaster. How about going into the mountains together?"

The war came unexpectedly.

If Gu Qing is alone, he lacks raw materials for forging. It's better to hide away from the world with the Zhao family. While avoiding disaster, he can continue to accumulate points to replenish his life.

It's just a matter of paying some swords and weapons.

The two sides have been cooperating for half a year, and the trust foundation is good. Zhao Huaiyi was surprised to hear this.

"That's great. Brother Gu, follow me, and I'll keep you safe."

This is asking Gu Qing whether he should join the Zhao family.

"When the chaos is over, I will visit the twelve states of Yan State. I will leave this trip to Brother Zhao."

Gu Qing's answer was temporary, not a complete commitment.

Disappointed, Zhao Huaiyi discussed the reward again, calculating the food and lodging expenses in a petty way, down to every meal, which made Gu Qing helpless and funny.

"The matter of the blood of the five beasts."

"I have collected it. I wanted to send it to you, brother."

"Why don't you follow me to the ancestral home in the mountains? The environment there is no worse than the county, but it is a little deserted."

"It's better to be deserted, then it's settled."

"Okay."

"We will set off after sunset at the hour of Xu, and you can go back to prepare."

…………

At dusk.

The sky gradually darkened, and the streets of the county town were full of people returning home, and it seemed quiet and deserted.

Gu Qing was carrying a box, which contained only three hundred taels of silver, which was his entire fortune, except for the iron. The extreme realm of the Blood Moving Realm made him extremely strong and his strength was endless.

It was no problem to carry more than a hundred kilograms of things.

After joining Zhao Huaiyi's team, he sneaked out of the county through the Zhao family's secret passage and disappeared in the county.

Ordinary people were not as sensitive as them, so everything was normal. They did not notice the deeper waves, and they were even discussing the increase in land tax.

The next day.

County Lieutenant Song Long sent people to find Gu Qing, hoping that he could move to the military camp and forge weapons with all his strength to meet the needs of Fengming Mansion.

As a result, the man was gone, and he was furious when he learned the news from his subordinates.

He knew about the cooperation between the Zhao family and Gu Qing.

But because he had been warned before, he could not say anything because they had found a new way to make money. He might be able to get a share of the pie when the time was right.

Little did he know that the two sides had become so close within a few months.

Even the Zhao family has a grudge.

"Leave? Don't come back if you dare."

After saying harsh words, Song Long quickly went to the smelting room to replace the weapon's gap with someone else.

Gu Qing ran away, and his smuggling of arms with the county magistrate would not last long. After all, not everyone had Gu Qing's speed and quality, and the Fengming Mansion had increased its demand.

Not to mention selling, it would be good if it can meet the above indicators.

at this time.

Outside Qishan County.

After walking all night, no one took a ride. The strong men of the Zhao family meandered along the mountain road carrying burdens that were taller than people. They were arranged in a long snake. There were nearly a hundred people. The speed was neither fast nor slow, and no one was left behind.

His running experience is extremely rich.

In one night, we had penetrated fifty miles into the mountains and forests.

The difficulty of walking on the night road in the mountains is not just talk. It can be seen from the fact that we can advance so fast.

There is still more than a hundred miles of mountain road from the destination.

On the mountain road.

Gu Qing reminded him as he walked beside the panting Zhao Huaiyi.

"I have a private business with Song Long. If the chaos is peaceful, be careful about revenge. This person is not big-minded."

"Oh? Brother Gu is a righteous man, but I, the Zhao family, are not taking things easy. A county lieutenant like him can't touch me."

"How to say?"

Taking a sip of the water in the cowhide bag, Zhao Huaiyi looked at the green mountains, stretched out his hands and hugged her softly.

"My Zhao family is based on the mountains and started by collecting herbs."

"For a treasure medicine of the quality of blood ginseng, no less than twenty plants have been collected, but only a few are sold."

At this point, everyone who understands understands.

The Zhao family is not without force, it's just that it's exposed to the public.
