Chapter 144 - Young Qiao FengLooking at the people kneeling before him, Xiang Yun smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "They"re here. Mr Liu, whom I"ve sent to invite you did not make things difficult for you, right?"
"No, no, Mr. Liu is too polite, how could he make things difficult for me!" Mao Er hurriedly shook his head, his face filled with fear as he looked at the expressionless Liu Hong who was already standing behind Xiang Yun.Earlier on, he was in a gambling house, surrounded by a group of thugs, hugging two beauties on both sides, drinking wine and listening to a little tune.
Who would have thought that a man would suddenly barge into a restaurant and directly ask who Mao Er was? In the city, almost everyone called him Second Master Mao, and someone actually dared to call him by his real name.
"I am Mao"er. What is it, brother? What can I do for you?"
At the same time, the men who were eating and drinking with Mao Er also stood up. They glared at the man with fiendish expressions, as if seven or eight people and seven bears were standing. It was extremely frightening!The result was unexpected. Before the man could respond to Mao Er"s words, the man had already leaped several feet into the air!
He arrived in front of Mao Er, grabbed Mao Er like a chick, and beat him up. This infamous Second Master Mao in the underworld of the Qin Feng City was beating him up until he cried for his parents.
The thugs around came over to help and were all knocked onto the ground by the man, unable to get up.In the end, everyone lay on the ground, unable to get up. Only the man who had only said one sentence from the beginning to the end was able to say the second sentence.
"My Crown Prince has invited you to come with me."
For a time, Mao Er felt like his guts and hair were standing on end. He was anxious but could do nothing about it. In the end, he had no choice but to follow the man to the end of the street.
At this moment, Mao Er was kneeling on the ground. Looking at this person, he felt even more uneasy at the sight of the crown prince, whom he had once met on the top floor of a gambling house in the Southern City.Even though he was called the Second Master of the Mao family, and was considered a reputable figure in the city, but to put it bluntly, he was just a slightly bigger hoodlum.
However, who was this young man? He was the true boss of Qin Feng City, the young master of the King who stood side by side. Even the City Lord had to bow respectfully before him.
Furthermore, Mao San had also heard that a few days ago, Xiang Yun had beheaded the Young Master of the County Governor of Central State City in the northern outskirts of Qin Feng City.Compared to such a lawless existence, Mao Er could not even be considered an ant.
If the enemy wanted to kill him, it would be easier than crushing an ant to death. Thus, at this moment, he did not feel the slightest bit of resentment, only unease and trepidation!
And when they heard the name that Mao"er called Xiang Yun, it wasn"t just Mo San, the Huang Family, or even the onlookers, they were all shocked out of their wits.
No one would have thought that the young man who claimed to be a cousin of the Qiao family would turn out to be the high and mighty Crown Prince of Qin Feng City!
For a time, the commoners in the mud alley did not dare to stand. They all knelt down in unison.At this moment, it was as if Mang San had been petrified and stood rooted to the spot!
Xiang Yun looked at Mao"er who was still trembling slightly, asking indifferently, "Do you know why I invited you here?"
When Mao Er heard this, his body trembled. He threw a sideways glance at the man and immediately lowered his head. He braced himself and said, "Little Jun, I don"t know."
"Hehe, the reason I asked you to come was to ask for a small favor from you."
"Your Highness, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best not to refuse!"
Xiang Yun said, "Mao"er, you three scoundrels are really unkind. While my cousin was injured, you actually raped my cousin and injured my nephew. In the end, you even tried to turn the tables and not admit it.""I"ll argue with him. He said that since you"re the local tyrant, I have to give you face. Do you think I should give you face?"
Hearing Xiang Yun"s words, cold sweat broke out on Mao Er"s forehead. His face was as pale as paper, and his body instantly began to tremble like a sieve. He turned his head to look at Mang San who had been scared silly, wishing he could cut him into a thousand pieces!
"F * cking b * tch, you"ve caused laozi"s death!"At the same time, he felt incredulous. Since when did His Highness the crown prince have a cousin in the city? Furthermore, he lived in the city"s most dest.i.tute mud-tile alley.
Of course, he didn"t have time to think too much about it. He frantically kowtowed and apologized, "Your Highness, please forgive me. How could I dare to make Your Highness give you face? Please don"t listen to this guy"s nonsense. He just helped me do some trivial things and he claims to be my man."
"I didn"t expect this fellow to be so audacious as to actually provoke His Highness. Please don"t get angry, leave everything to me, I will definitely give His Highness an explanation!"
"Oh, so that"s how it is. In that case, I"ll leave him for you to handle."When Mao Er heard these words, he was instantly overjoyed. Immediately after, he solemnly vowed, "Your Highness, don"t worry. This little one will definitely make you satisfied!"
As he spoke, Mao Er instructed the thugs behind him, "Go, capture this kid first. We"ll entertain him properly when we get him back!"
Upon hearing these words, two of the men immediately stood up. The two men also harbored resentment towards this man. One on the left and the other on the right, they held onto the little chick as if they were little chicks and pressed the ashen-faced Mad Three to the ground.
"Okay." Seeing this, Xiang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. He then patted the shoulders of the youth beside him and said to Mao San.
"This is my nephew. His family lives here and life is difficult. From now on, you have to help me take care of them. If something like this happens again, I"ll have to invite you to speak."
When Mao Er heard this, he quivered in fear, his voice trembling as he quickly waved his hands.
"Aiyo, Your Highness, please don"t. This lowly one will definitely obey!"As Second Mao said this, he hurriedly raised his head and looked seriously at the youth dressed in tattered hemp by Xiang Yun"s side. He wasn"t sure if this youth was Xiang Yun"s relative or not, but their relationship was definitely different.
He had already imprinted the image of the youth into his mind. He must be more attentive to the youth from now on. He might even be able to strike up a relationship with the Crown Prince.
"This lowly one will definitely take good care of this little gongzi and won"t let anyone bully Qiao Yifeng"s family. Your Highness, don"t worry!"
"Hehe, I"m not worried about that. If I find out one day, my nephew is not well or has been bullied, I"m afraid that Qin Feng City only has a missing Mao Er.""Hiss!"
When Mao"er heard this, a cold shiver went down his spine. He naturally understood Xiang Yun"s intentions and hurriedly lowered his head even lower, almost touching the ground.
Xiang Yun then shifted his gaze to the middle-aged woman, Mrs Huang, who had been frightened stiff to the point of collapsing. Mrs Huang"s legs were already weak, and her well-developed body was shaking non-stop. She didn"t even have the strength to raise her head to look at Xiang Yun.
"Cousin!"Xiang Yun"s gentle cry caused the Huang Family to tremble, as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies stiffened, but they didn"t dare to not respond.
"Your Highness, I am here."
"Sister-in-law, my cousin isn"t feeling very well. From now on, you have to take care of him. If you still like to do some sneaky things and can"t endure the loneliness, you can tell me.""There are so many brothels in our Qin Feng City. Just tell me which one you want to go to. I will arrange one for you. With your looks, Sister-in-law, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to visit."
"Ah!" When the Huang Family heard these words, they immediately turned pale with fright!
Although she was the first to commit adultery, she was still an ordinary woman after all. She couldn"t completely accept going to a brothel to be a prost.i.tute.Xiang Yun"s words were undoubtedly warning her. If she ever dared to disobey the rules of a woman, she would sell it to a brothel and be ravaged by others. How could she not be afraid?
"I don"t dare to do anything to His Highness anymore. From now on, I will take good care of Gu"er and Old Qiao. Please don"t sell me to a brothel!"
Xiang Yun laughed coldly, "That"s good. Take good care of my cousin and nephew and be obedient. You"ll have your own good benefits."
Upon hearing this, the Huang family quickly kowtowed like they were pounding garlic. They were so frightened that they were like frightened rabbits.
In just a short period of time, both Mang San and the Huang Family had received their due punishment. Xiang Yun had finally eliminated all the hidden dangers of this broken family.
Then, like a dog being dragged to its death by Mao Er and a group of thugs, Mang San was dragged out of the alley. Without even thinking about it, one could already tell that the latter would definitely end up in a miserable state.In the afternoon, the crowd had dispersed from the house of the craftsman who had made up Niwa Lane. Inside the house, Xiang Yun looked at the youth kneeling before him with a face that had nine kowtows, feeling a little helpless.
The youth was incomparably grateful towards Xiang Yun for everything he had done today. However, he could not think of anything to repay Xiang Yun. He could only kowtow in grat.i.tude to the respectful Xiang Yun.
"Master Crown Prince, when I grow up, I will definitely repay you!"
Xiang Yun looked at the youth kneeling on the ground, using a pair of big, black eyes to look at him. Smiling faintly, he reached out a hand to stroke his head, helping him up.
"Your mother calls you Zhou. Your name is Qiao Tao, right?"However, the youth shook his head and said, "That"s not it. My mother gave me that name when I was a kid."
"Oh, then what is your real name?"The youth rubbed his head and said embarra.s.sedly: "I"m Qiao Feng!"
"Qiao Feng!""Boom!"
Xiang Yun, who had been sitting on a bench and drinking a cup of warm, cold tea, abruptly stood up. The tea within his cup instantly vilified him. However, Xiang Yun seemed to be unaware of this!
"You, your name is Qiao Feng?" Xiang Yun stared wide-eyed at the youth.
"Yes, master!" The youth was frightened by the look in Xiang Yun"s eyes, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Qiao Mu"s Qiao, the mountain peak?" Xiang Yun confirmed again.
The youth still nodded seriously!"Whew!" Xiang Yun let out a long breath!
He was not only shocked by this name that was far too familiar to him in his mind, but more importantly, the moment the youth announced his name, the familiar system notification rang out in Xiang Yun"s mind!
"Host has opened the first main mission, taking in the four final disciples. Goal 1 has already appeared. Mission reward, Heavenly Dragon"s true energy!"
Then, the system explained in a human-like manner, "The Heavenly Dragon"s zhen qi is required for cultivation before the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms can be practiced. The qi is required for cultivation, and like a long dragon, it flows through the Eighteen Divisions of the Body and into the Dantian of the Qi Mansion.
"Your Highness, what happened to you?"Seeing the shocked and dazed Xiang Yun in front of him, the youth was a little nervous. He wanted to tug at Xiang Yun"s sleeves, but was afraid that his hands would dirty Xiang Yun"s brocade robe.
Suddenly, Xiang Yun"s gaze returned to normal as he abruptly turned to look at the youth. His eyes were filled with a peculiar light, a hint of heat faintly surging through them!
At this moment, Xiang Yun"s heart was like a surging tide, unable to calm down!
"He"s so stubborn at such a young age, yet his filial piety is commendable, yet his killing intent is even greater. He"s even surnamed Qiao, isn"t this the same as Qiao Feng when he was young?"
At this moment, Xiang Yun felt that he had wasted so many years reading Jin Yong"s novel. The Qiao Feng in Jin Yong"s <>< the="" eight="" heavenly="" dragons="" and="" eight="" sects=""> > had been adopted by a woodcutter with the surname Qiao.
Later, his father was seriously ill and they wanted to ask a doctor to treat his father. However, the doctor disdained them because they were poor and didn"t have the money to pay for the consultation fee. He refused to treat his father and even overturned Qiao Feng"s foster mother.
Later on, Qiao Feng"s adoptive father died that night. The latter was still young and harbored resentment, so he stole a dagger. He crawled into the doctor"s house from the dog hole in the middle of the night.Taking advantage of the doctor"s deep sleep, Qiao Feng climbed up to the doctor"s bed and fiercely rushed forward. With both hands holding the saber, he stabbed the doctor over ten times in the chest and killed him at the head of the bed!
He, who was still a youth, had already revealed his Shura appearance! The youth that stood in front of him now had a completely similar disposition to him, and was simply a replica of the youth Qiao Feng!
