Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 300 Old Friend

At the time of Si, south of the Ten-Li Waterside Pavilion, there is the main entrance of the Qimeng Tower.

Zhang Yingcai came here according to the address on the note.

Looking at the magnificent high-rise building in front of him, with its bright lights and revelry, a wry smile appeared on the face of this hero.

Haha, I just explained to Mr. Lu at noon that I would observe a seven-day mourning period for my parents who had passed away many years ago, but I ended up coming to a place like this in the evening.

It seems that my reputation will not be good after today.

But it doesn’t matter. For the plan and the ideals in my heart, everything is worth it.

With a wry smile in his heart, Zhang Yingcai stepped into the singing hall.

As soon as he entered the door, two beautiful women in gauze embraced him into the building. The strong smell of powder and the unique fragrance of young girls made him feel a little dizzy.

"Sir, are you here alone or with someone?"

As the girl spoke, she breathed in and out fragrant air into Zhang Yingcai's ear, giving him goosebumps all over his body.

"Make way, hey, Xiaoyao. This handsome guy is ours, go and meet someone else."

Before Zhang Yingcai could reply, a smiling, greasy-faced man appeared behind him and hugged Zhang Yingcai in front of him.

"Well, have fun, sir. If you need any help from me, just let me know!"

Before leaving, the woman named Xiaoyao gently stroked Zhang Yingcai's chest, which made his heart tremble and feel extremely hot.

"Hey, sir, this girl is pretty good. If you like her, she will be waiting for you in bed tonight."

"Forget it." Zhang Yingcai frowned, obviously not used to the environment of this brothel.

"Brother Xu, you are really considerate. You actually decided to meet me in this brothel."

Xu Qiu chuckled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Brother Yingcai, are you scared?"

He deliberately raised his voice.

"This Shili Waterside Pavilion is your fiancée's territory. Are you afraid that if she finds out, she will punish you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yingcai rolled his eyes.

"Go to hell, my engagement with Lu Shengxiong from the Lu family hasn't been finalized yet, and you're talking nonsense like that."

"Ah?" Xu Qiu had a serious and unbelieving expression on his face.

"Hasn't it been decided yet?"

"Mr. Lu has almost given the order in Yangzhou City. He is waiting for you to come and get married as soon as the Thousand Lantern Festival begins."

Zhang Yingcai shook his head helplessly.

"We'll talk about this later."

"Let's go and talk about business first."

After the two of them finished joking, they walked towards a table inside the lobby of Qimeng Building.

Zhang Yingcai looked around and saw that the hall was full of people, the dancers were graceful, and the guests were toasting each other, making it a very lively place.

"Brother Xu, you can't even find a quiet place to discuss things."

Xu Qiu patted Zhang Yingcai on the shoulder.

"Brother Yingcai, this is what you don't understand."

"Usually the more chaotic the place, the more convenient it is to have secret conversations."

"The quieter the place, the more dangerous it is."

Zhang Yingcai sneered.

"Why, do you still want to say that it's dark under the lamp?"

"I really don't know who you learned all this from."

Having said that, Xu Qiu's expression suddenly became serious.

There was a barely perceptible flash of pain in his eyes.

"Brother Yingcai, these are bloody lessons."

Zhang Yingcai was shocked by Xu Qiu's serious expression.

He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "The last failure... was due to a leak?"

Xu Qiu shook his head.

"That's not it."

He explained: "The last failure was mainly due to two reasons: lack of guns, and lack of core combat power that can determine victory or defeat."

Zhang Yingcai frowned.

"We're short of guns..."

He groaned and said, "This is indeed a bit difficult."

Xu Qiu waved his hand, indicating that he need not worry.

"It's not difficult. As long as you have money, power, and support, these are not a problem."

When Zhang Yingcai heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed.

"I can still scrape together some money."

"There are still some remaining forces in the family, but I don't think it's much. It will take time to integrate them."

Xu Qiu nodded and continued, "Without guns, the uprising is just more difficult, but this is not the main reason. There is another more important reason for the failure last time."

Zhang Yingcai asked anxiously: "What's the reason?"

"We lack real combat power, core combat power."

Xu Qiu spoke word by word. "A person who seeks the law with supernatural powers."

Speaking of this, Xu Qiu's eyes became profound.

“No matter how powerful we are, no matter how many mortals we gather, we are like a pile of loose sand in front of the supernatural power, and we are completely vulnerable.”

Zhang Yingcai took a breath of cold air.

"What should I do?"

He said anxiously, "None of us are seekers of the law. Besides, since when did seekers of the law start interfering in the affairs of mortals?"

Xu Qiu sighed.

"You have been abroad all the time, so you don't understand what is happening in China."

"The magical powers of Da Yan have been interfering in the affairs of mortals for thousands of years."

"Behind everything you can see now are the shadows of those who seek the Dharma."

After that, Xu Qiu began to list them one by one to Zhang Yingcai.

"For example, the Lu family in Jiangnan is backed by Baotianyuan, one of the most powerful families of Dharma seekers in the world."

"The area in the middle of the lake is the territory of the Wuxian Society."

"The overseas islands are Penglai, which is not concerned with worldly affairs."

"In the northwest, it's Nanjia Immortal Cave."

"As for the Qing Dynasty, the current dynasty we want to overthrow, behind it is the most powerful sect in the world, the Nine Realms Sect."

At this point, Xu Qiu's voice gradually became more excited.

"Last time, we almost succeeded. No, we almost stepped on the threshold of success."

"We have assembled 30,000 men and have occupied almost every advantageous point."

"Unfortunately, the other side only sent out one seeker of the law, and our entire army was defeated."

Zhang Yingcai frowned as he listened to Xu Qiu's words.

"He's only one person, and he beats us 30,000? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Xu Qiu shook his head in frustration, with deep fear in his eyes.

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. It seemed that only this strong liquor could suppress the fear in his heart.

"That man was like a nobody in his territory. Our people were like scarecrows in front of him. They fell down at the slightest touch."

Xu Qiu's voice trembled a little.

"At that time, our people fled in all directions and had no power to fight back."

Zhang Yingcai remained silent, he knew Xu Qiu would not joke about such things.

"You are exaggerating. Even if the other party is a seeker of Dharma, he can't be so powerful."

Zhang Yingcai still found it a little unbelievable.

"What I said is real!"

Xu Qiu slammed the table so hard that the wine glass jumped up.

People around started looking here, and only then did Xu Qiu realize that he had lost his composure.

Fortunately, because his face was a little red due to drinking, the people around him thought he was a drunkard and continued to sing and dance.

It seems that Xu Qiu's judgment was correct. This is really a good place to talk about things.

"What do you think a true Dharma seeker is? Can he be compared to those street performers?"

He pointed at Zhang Yingcai and raised his voice a few notches.

"Your grandfather, Mr. Zhang, was also a famous seeker of Dharma in his time!"

“Although I am not the top one among those who seek the law, and I am only in the middle level of my magical power, I am definitely not a weakling.”

"Don't you know how strong he is?"

"How many ordinary people can he be compared to?"

Zhang Yingcai's face turned pale.

He recalled the magical techniques his grandfather had shown him when he was a child.

Those scenes that seemed like miracles to him, now made him feel cold.

He finally understood why Xu Qiu was so frightened.

Because, next, they will be enemies with such a superman!

And face the enemy head on!
