Chapter 610 A difficult victory
The rain had completely stopped, and there were still about two hours until dawn.
Perhaps because of her youth, Jiang Zhaoxue was the first to wake up.
Upon discovering that her hands were tied, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately began to struggle.
"Don't move!"
I stepped forward, gun raised, and shouted.
Although Jiang Zhaoxue can't see it, I think she must be familiar with my voice.
She asked, bewildered, "What just happened?"
"It's over. I've done what you wanted to do for you. The person is dead."
"Dead...dead?"
"Yes, he's lying on the ground, to your right rear."
The rain had just stopped, and there was puddles on the ground. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately crawled to Bu Guoliu's side. She sniffed, probably because she smelled blood.
"Untie me."
"No, this is still your Jiang family's territory. I'm afraid you'll discard me after you've served your purpose."
She shook her head and said gently, "No, I only want to get rid of him. Actually, I don't care about the treasures you found before."
I frowned and said, "You're not officially the head of the Jiang family yet, how can you guarantee your grandfather won't cause us trouble?"
It's not that I'm cowardly, nor do I want to bully this disabled woman in front of me. It's just that she gives me a dangerous feeling, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, who knows when she'll reveal her fangs.
Hearing my concerns, she replied, "Don't worry, I've been preparing in secret for ten years. Apart from my great-grandfather and fourth uncle, the entire Jiang family is now under my control. If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't have been able to escape before."
After thinking for a moment, I helped her untie the rope.
She immediately reached out to touch it.
She slowly raised her head, her hands stained with blood.
"I did it... I did it. From today onwards, the Jiang family is free."
The smile on her lips was chilling, and I couldn't quite understand what she meant by freedom.
"Did you do it?" she asked, turning her head.
I nodded: "Yes, you all fell for it just now. If I hadn't resisted with my strong willpower, we would most likely have all perished. I fought Liu Buguo for no less than 150 rounds. He used the bell to activate a feng shui killing formation. I used the Heavenly Star Secret Technique to hold on for more than ten minutes until I finally grabbed the gun and killed him at the last moment."
"Yeah??"
"Of course, I wouldn't lie, so you should thank me. I completed the final step of your plan for you. I am the benefactor of your Jiang family, and also your benefactor."
Jiang Zhaoxue stood up and bowed to me.
Although she couldn't see, I still returned her greeting with a cupped hand.
"The outcome is already decided, so the process is no longer important. Xiang Yunfeng, you are indeed the benefactor of the Jiang family, and also my benefactor."
"How will you thank me? Can you give me ten million?" I asked.
She smiled and said, "Money is just a number to the family. You can have money if you want, but I still want to prepare a special gift for you."
"What special gift?"
"It's not convenient to talk about it now, but we can talk about it later."
I instantly developed a liking for her.
That's how it should be. Kindness is kindness, and resentment is resentment. Just as the leader said, there are no permanent friends in the world, only permanent interests.
Afterwards, everyone woke up one after another. Jiang Zhaoxue asked me to untie the belts and ropes from the one-eyed man and his gang, and I did as she said.
"Boss, how are you feeling?"
"It's nothing serious, just a terrible headache."
"You've finished the game; your final move has taken effect."
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Yunfeng, that person was never a pawn from beginning to end. In fact, I wasn't even 20% sure. I was gambling, but luckily I won. This time, God was on our side."
He looked exhausted and closed his eyes, saying, "People of a kind gather together, and things of a kind group together. Just like Zhong Kui catching ghosts, to deal with this kind of person, you can only lure out his own kind to take action. What the sect leader said is very true."
"The sect leader was also involved?"
Nod your head.
When Jiang Huize woke up, he was completely different. As the head of the Jiang family, his dignity was gone, replaced by a lost and dejected look. He seemed to have suffered a huge blow to his spirit. In a sense, this incident can be considered an internal strife within the Jiang family.
"grandfather."
"Well done... Don't call me grandpa anymore. I don't have a granddaughter like you. I don't deserve it."
Jiang Zhaoxue said with a resolute expression, "The claim that the treasure is cursed has deceived nearly three generations of our family. My deceased father and you are both responsible for this. Back then, my great-grandfather and the villagers worked together. Even without his guidance, we would have definitely found the treasure and improved the village's life. I'll say it again: everyone in our family is surnamed Jiang, none of us are surnamed Chen."
"Hehe, alright," the old man smiled bitterly, "Aren't you going to kill me and your fourth uncle? That way you'll have no worries, and from now on, you'll be in charge of everything in the family, both at home and abroad."
"No, I won't do that. You've been deceived for decades. I will make you wake up as soon as possible and see the truth."
"Our family's success today is all thanks to Master Chen's feng shui skills. How do you plan to bring me to my senses?"
Jiang Zhaoxue replied, "I will find an ordinary person to marry and have children as soon as possible. I will let you see your healthy great-grandson with your own eyes. At that time, you will believe me."
"The family's current size and wealth are the result of three generations of careful management over decades. Your lifelong belief in feng shui and destiny-changing is just icing on the cake."
"Someone, take Grandpa, Fourth Uncle, and Brother back and take good care of them."
The one-eyed man immediately called for help.
"No need, I can walk by myself."
The old man picked up his cane and limped away into the distance.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Jiang Zhaoxue gave him a wink, and One-Eyed Dragon led a few men to follow.
At this moment, he stepped forward, cupped his hands to Jiang Zhaoxue, and said, "Miss Jiang, there were quite a few unexpected problems along the way, but thankfully the outcome is settled. I hope you can keep your previous agreement."
"Don't worry, Chief Wang, I will make sure you leave Qiandao Lake safely."
He nodded, looking exhausted, and said to me, "Let's go, Yunfeng, it's almost dawn."
"No, head, why don't you go back and rest first? I have something very important to do."
I leaned close to the head priest's ear and whispered the Taoist priest's instructions before he left.
However, Liu Ben was very capable, so it's best to burn his body. I must do well the task the Taoist priest entrusted to me.
At this moment, Xu Tongshan came over and said, "Chief Wang, I'd like to have a few words with you alone. Let's talk over there."
He turned his head to the side to talk with Xu Tongshan, while the boy with the watermelon head kept staring at me.
"What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, I just don't understand, how did you do that?"
"If you can't figure it out, don't even think about it. You don't understand me at all. I'm incredibly skilled. Last time I fought you, I let you win; I didn't even use a tenth of my strength."
"Oh? I didn't realize that. Let's have another match next time you come to Zhuji."
"can."
On the surface, I said yes, but in reality, I won't fight him anymore because I feel that after this incident, my level of understanding has risen to a new level.
I'm not referring to martial arts skills, but rather to my state of mind. I've decided to delve deeper into Feng Shui while practicing martial arts. Perhaps many years from now, I can combine the skills of the Taoist priest and the Six-Year-Old Man, becoming a master like Shi Wuchang. After all, my Refining Essence into Qi Gong is a Taoist skill that can rival the Six Jia and Three Corpses.
After that, I told Jiang Zhaoxue about the cremation of the body.
"Sure, I'll have someone help you."
"Should we collect the ashes?" I asked.
She thought about it carefully and said, "Please give it to me. I will send someone to bury him in Dongshan. That's where his grave is."
"Will you continue to add drugs to the hot spring pools at the foot of Dongshan Mountain in the future?"
"It seems you know quite a few of our secrets."
I said awkwardly, "I was just asking, don't take it to heart."
"By the way, I found half an iron coin in the niche in the wall of the East Mountain Dragon Cave before. There should have been some hidden there before. Did your family take them all back then?"
"You mean those iron coins with Yongle inscriptions?"
"Yes."
"There are some."
I asked in a low voice, "How many? Are there fifty in total?"
She thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't remember clearly, it might have been a thousand catties."
