Zhang Ling was slightly surprised and subconsciously said, "Is there any danger halfway? Is someone going to deal with us halfway? When did you get the information? Is there any information about the enemy?"

Master Gu shook his head and said, "You are thinking too much. It's the eldest lady's cousin who is here."

Zhang Ling said in confusion: "It should be a good thing for the eldest lady's cousin to arrive! Why is the master's face..."

Master Gu shook his head and said, "If other cousins ​​arrived, it would be a good thing. However, this is called Qiu Lianfeng's arrival, it is not a good thing. I am sure that at this time, the eldest lady is likely to be arguing with this cousin!"

Zhang Ling suddenly became interested and asked with great enthusiasm: "What do you mean by this? It sounds like a very complicated one?"

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

Zhang Ling hurriedly moved the stool, dominated the head and listened attentively.

Many men are probably interested in the story about Qiu Jingxiang. He is naturally no exception.

Master Gu said in a bitter tone: "Actually, the eldest lady is not as glorious as outsiders describe... She is actually very bitter..."

Maybe he is old and his mind is not very clear. Master Gu's description is a bit disordered, often inconsistent with the foreword. However, this does not prevent him from expressing his meaning. With Zhang Ling's experience of being a human being in his two lives, most of the details can be calculated by himself. After listening for a while, Zhang Ling understood a little.

It turns out that Qiu Jingxiang's status in Hongfeng City is also relatively humble.

Qiu Jingxiang's parents have both passed away. She was raised by her grandfather. Her grandfather loved her very much, which was the main reliance on her status. Unfortunately, her grandfather also passed away three years ago. She had just removed her filial piety clothes before she arrived in Wulin Town. Due to her grandfather's death, her status in the Qiu family was inevitably threatened.

It seems that the internal struggles of a huge family like the Qiu family will only be more intense than that of the Xia family in Wulin Town. The Qiu family's head, Qiu Yidan, has always had a bad relationship with Qiu Yidan, another powerful figure in the Qiu family. Qiu Yidan is the Minister of Works of the Yanteng Empire, which is a very important position.

Originally, the position of Minister of Works of the Yanteng Empire has always been the head of the Qiu family. However, due to the numerous dark corners and secret operations, Qiu Yinan was the last one. Qiu Fengqi, the head of the Qiu family, did not hold any position in the court of the Yanteng Empire. It is said that he was secretly suppressed by the Mu family of the Yanteng Empire.

Such a structure will naturally cause internal strife among the Qiu family. Qiu Fengqi is the head of the Qiu family, and it should have the greatest power. However, Qiu Yi Nong is the Minister of Works of the Yanteng Empire, and has great influence in the court. Of course, he will not easily accept the jurisdiction of Qiu Fengqi. The Emperor of Yanteng Empire obviously supports Qiu Yi Nong. In this way, Qiu Fengqi dares not act rashly.

The Qiu family now has a glorious appearance and magnificent appearance. It seems to be a huge scholar. Compared with the other three families, it is no less than that. However, it already contains huge hidden worries. Once the autumn wind blows and the autumn mood enters a white-hot stage, the Qiu family is likely to disintegrate as a result.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Qiu Jingxiang is the lady of the Qiu family and a member of the four major families. She is indeed full of glory 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 when, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted in the Beast Martial Continent. Nominally, Qiu Jingxiang is also the heir of the Qiu family and is likely to inherit the Qiu family's property. However, the premise is that if the dozens of people who also have inheritance rights before her die, she will be able to obtain the inheritance rights. Qiu Lianfeng, the fifth young master who came to Wulin Town this time, is one of the people who are very likely to obtain the inheritance rights of the Qiu family.

Zhang Ling couldn't help asking, "What are Qiu Lianfeng doing when he arrived?"

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

Master Yan, who arrived later, added: "The eldest lady is a neutral party and does not participate in any power struggle."

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 head of the Qiu family, he must widely seek the support of most people. Therefore, the vote in the hands of the eldest lady is also very important. However, the eldest lady has never been very interested in him. He just wants to take the eldest lady's surgery."

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

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

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

There are quite a lot of industries within the Qiu family. Among them, the most are the ones that operate elixirs. For example, Wufengtang, under Qiu Lianfeng's name, is also famous for refining elixirs, and has a direct competitive relationship with Qiu Japanese silk. In many large and medium-sized cities, the competition between Wufengtang and Qiu Japanese silk is everywhere. With the advantages of the family industry, Wufengtang suppressed Qiu Japanese silk in many aspects. Especially after Qiu Jingxiang's grandfather passed away, Wufengtang's **** became more and more excessive.

In order to avoid the aggressive offensive of Wufengtang, Qiu Jingxiang chose to open a shop in remote places. For example, opening Qiu Japanese Silk to a small place like Wulin Town. However, Qiu Lianfeng was still quite dissatisfied. Not only did he want to get Qiu Jingxiang's support, he also wanted to redeem Qiu Japanese Silk. He once clearly proposed that Qiu Japanese Silk should be merged into Wufengtang and he would be in charge of it.

Qiu Lianfeng's ambition was strongly supported by his grandfather. In order to fight Qiu Yinan, who was the Minister of Works of the Yanteng Empire, he had to find ways to enhance his own strength. Qiu Jingxiang, without his grandfather's support, was a good target for swallowing.

But although Qiu Jingxiang is a woman, her status within the Qiu family is not very high, but her personality is quite strong. She never agrees to Qiu Lianfeng's urgency. As a result, the two sides have a quarrel. This time, the superior deliberately instructed Qiu Jingxiang to Wulin Town, with a purpose behind her. However, Qiu Jingxiang has been swallowing her anger and has not broken up with the family.

Zhang Ling frowned and said, "What exactly are 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 is probably going to have a formal showdown."

Master Gu also sighed anxiously and said, "Qiu Lianfeng is the grandson of the head of the family, and the meaning of the head of the family is very strong. I am afraid that this time, the eldest lady will be in trouble!"

...

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

The meeting between the two was completely without the joy of cousins ​​meeting. On the contrary, it was like an enemy.

Qiu Lianfeng did not hide his intentions at all, and he made a request to Qiu Jingxiang to merge with Qiu Japanese Silk.

The result is conceivable, and his request was flatly rejected by Qiu Jingka.

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

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

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

Qiu Jingxiang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Didn't you take it away in secret? What else do I have?"

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "You have joined my alchemist team in Hongfeng City. Now, there are only Gu Ruohua and Yan Zhihao by your side. Do you think that relying on them alone can support the entire Qiu Japanese silk?"

Qiu Jingka said coldly: "If Qiu Japanese Silk goes bankrupt, isn't you the most hoping to see?"

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly: "Okay, okay, okay, since that's the case, I won't say much. The gate of our Wufeng Hall will always be open to you. As long as you are willing to vote for me, I will let Qiu Japanese come back to life."

Qiu Jingxiang's eyebrows stood up and she said firmly: "Even if I became a beggar, I will not vote for you!"

Qiu Lianfeng stood up, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Okay, since that's the case, I have to give up on you. This is the alchemy task assigned by the imperial court to our Qiu family this year. You Qiu Japanese silk also have a portion. I hope you can complete it according to quality and quantity. Otherwise, haha, you know the old emperor's temper. Now, you don't have grandpa to protect you!"

As he said that, he put a list on the table and walked out of the hall with a cruel sneer on his lips.

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

Qiu Lianfeng said coldly without looking back: "Who told you to insist on not stealing my vote?"

Qiu Jingxiang finally couldn't bear it and shouted sternly: "Get out! Get out!"

Qiu Lianfeng deliberately sneered a few times and left.

...

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

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

Master Gu and Master Yan looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They didn't expect that Qiu Lianfeng was so decisive in his work. He actually took over all the alchemist teams of Qiu Japanese Silk. This was like digging the roots of Qiu Japanese Silk! Without his own alchemist team, can Qiu Japanese Silk continue to operate elixirs?

Needless to ask, there must be the authority of Qiu Fengqi in it. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to do it simply because Qiu Lianfeng is the charm of Qiu Jingxiang. Qiu Jingxiang is not good to those alchemists in normal times, and Qiu Lianfeng cannot bribe them. Only Qiu Fengqi comes forward in person can force those alchemists to surrender. After all, Qiu Fengqi is the head of Qiu family and has a very high status.

However, when Qiu Feng does this, it is equivalent to cutting off the future development prospects of Qiu Japanese Silk.
