Hua Ziqi and his wife Shen Yueru parted on bad terms. No one from the Shen family came forward to explain. Hua Ziqi didn't know whether it was his brother-in-law Shen Bao who was causing trouble or whether it was a revenge that the Shen family had been planning for a long time!
He came out of the Shen family and came to the weapon shop. He saw that all the weapons were scattered outside the door. His brother-in-law Shen Bao was in the shop with several servants.
"Shen Bao, you actually dared to occupy my Hua family shop. Have you thought about the consequences? Your sister stole the Hua family's house deeds and said that she would put them in your house first. Aren't you afraid that the county magistrate will punish you? Let's see if the Shen family will protect you at that time." Hua Ziqi said angrily when he saw Shen Bao.
"Haha! My dear brother-in-law! You really take the Hua family seriously. Go to the county government office and see what the county magistrate will say. The deed and house deeds of the shop are in my hands now. You said that my sister stole it from the Hua family. You asked my sister to testify in court! I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so." Shen Bao was not afraid at all. It was natural for aristocratic families to bully ordinary families. Besides, the deed and house deeds were already in his hands. Even if the Hua family had a hundred guts, they would not dare to go to the Shen Mansion to get people to testify. "Shen Bao, this weapon shop has been the Hua family's livelihood for a hundred years. Your Shen family does not do the weapon business. As one of the Eight Great Families outside the city, this is our Hua family's only property in the county. If you really want to turn against us, you must be careful. Although the Hua family can't do anything to the Shen family, they are more than enough to deal with you. As long as the Shen family does not have solid evidence, they dare not do anything to the Hua family. Think about it carefully!"
After Hua Ziqi said this, Shen Bao panicked. This weapon shop is the only livelihood of the Hua family in Guang County. If he robbed the other party's weapon shop, he would be at war with the Hua family. Even if the Hua family dared not do anything to the Shen family, they could still deal with a small self.
But then thinking of the man's entrustment, Shen Bao's heart was ruthless: "At most, I won't leave Guang County for the next six months. When the merchant group comes back this year, this shop will still be mine." Shen Bao thought.
"Haha! You want to scare me, right? Are you afraid of being scared by an ordinary family like you? Come on if you have the guts! I, Shen Bao, will take it all. I won't let the weapon shop see what you can do to me." Shen Bao said, and he felt extremely proud when he saw the admiring eyes of the Shen family servants beside him.
"Okay, let's wait and see! I hope the Shen family can protect you." Hua Ziqi turned his head after saying that, and now he had to go back to the village first.
He lost the only shop in his family, and Hua Ziqi was a little afraid to face his two younger brothers, and even more so, he couldn't face his nephew Hua Kai and his father who went to the Xiongnu Kingdom, but at this point, none of this mattered. How to solve the shop problem was the key.
After returning to Huajiabao, Hua Ziqi told Hua Zijie and Hua Zihuan brothers about the Guangxian weapon shop. Everyone originally thought that Hua Zihuan would be furious and run to the Shen family to make trouble, but he didn't expect that he was even quieter than Hua Ziqi.
"Second brother, Shen Bao may have the support of the Shen family. Even if we go to the Shen family, there will be no result. If Kai'er is at home, he will definitely not confront the Shen family directly. The Han family will support us but will never let the Shen family return the shop to us. The aristocratic family is a profit group after all. The best way now is to wait." Hua Zihuan said calmly.
"Wait? Fourth brother, if our weapon shop doesn't open, where will everyone in Kaiguang County buy weapons? How will we take responsibility when the Han family blames us?" Hua Zijie reminded.
"Take responsibility? What responsibility is there for the weapon shop that is not ours? It is the Shen family who should take responsibility. We are not stopping selling weapons. Tomorrow we will open our own weapon shop in Huajiabao. If the city needs weapons, they can come to Huajiabao to buy them. Our village now has a population of more than 600 people. Aren't the new shops opened in our village good recently?" Hua Zihuan smiled when he said this.
Indeed, since the expansion of Huajiabao, the newly opened grain shops, grocery shops, furniture shops and other businesses have been very good, with monthly income of more than 10 gold, which is much more than the income of the county weapon shop. The 60 gold that Hua Kai gave to Hua Zihuan has not been used much, but has increased.
"Since Kai'er said that you, the fourth brother, will be the head of the family, then everything will be done as you said, but Shen Bao must not be let go... It's my responsibility for the accident in the shop this time, and I will never let Shen Yueru's family have an easy time!" Hua Ziqi gritted his teeth.
"Second brother, don't blame yourself too much. From now on, second brother, it's better not to associate with the Shen family anymore. Everything in the family still depends on strength. Let's wait for the head of the family and dad to come back."
After Hua Zihuan finished speaking, everyone nodded. As long as the family can return smoothly this time, all problems such as shops are trivial. If the Hua family suffers heavy losses this time, then Huajiabao will not be saved even without the Shen family targeting it.
Huajiabao gave up the county shop. All the families in Guang County knew that the Shen family had occupied the Hua family's livelihood. Everyone was dissatisfied with the Shen family's tyranny. After all, the Hua family's craftsmanship in making weapons was a century-old inheritance. After the Shen family occupied the Hua family's business, the entire Guang County could only go to Huajiabao to buy weapons.
After the construction of the Huajiabao city wall, the houses in the village began to expand rapidly. Some workshops and martial arts training grounds were moved outside the inner wall. The entire Huajiabao house began to be replanned and rebuilt. This year, the villagers who joined Huajiabao moved into new houses. The previous main courtyard was also expanded a lot after renovation. Hua Zichen's courtyard was built next to the main courtyard. There was a gate between the two courtyards. The entire Huajiabao became extremely prosperous in more than a month.
Let's talk about the Huajia caravan.
It has been more than ten days since leaving the Aohan tribe. The Guangxian merchant group has walked thousands of miles westward. Now it has just left the territory of the Aohan tribe.
The grassland is not like the Central Plains, and the people here are even more scarce. Since meeting a small tribe of 100 people 5 days ago, the Guangxian merchant group has not seen a single person along the way.
Since taking the elixir, many people in the Hua family have become extremely energetic. In the past few days, many merchant groups have seen them riding horses in formation on the road to practice riding skills.
Hua Xing knows a lot about cavalry training. He has been recruited to join the army many times in his life and served as a cavalry captain in the army. Now that the Hua family caravan is on the road, everyone will take turns to ride horses to practice fighting on horseback. The grassland is the world of cavalry.
Hua Kai and his fifth uncle Hua Zichen are even more energetic because they took the [Blood Dragon Pill].
He has been riding horses to practice shooting these days and learning the cavalry formation with his grandfather. Now that each person in the Hua family has a horse and there are surplus horses, everyone can ride horses at will, and the carriages are driven by newly bought slaves. This situation has never happened in the Hua family before.
Hua Kai followed the Hua family members on horseback and was learning to sprint. His body felt like it was on fire and he was in a state of discomfort. More than ten days had passed, and Hua Kai had improved by two points under the effect of the [Dragon Blood Pill]. Now the effect of the medicine was only halfway through, and he had to work hard to squeeze out his physical strength to absorb more of the medicine. Now his attributes had become
Hua Kai: Kaiyuan Realm 1st level
Qualification: D-
Constitution: 20
Strength: 20
Will: 25
Novelist: Student
Mental Method (Novelist): Basic Copywriting Skills (Heaven-level Low-level Mental Method) Minor Success

Spear Method: Sky-Splitting Spear (Yellow-level High-level Spear Method) Great Success
Special Mental Method: Great Dream Visualization Method (God-level) Entry
Special Skill: Eye of Truth (Cannot be upgraded)
Hua Kai broke through to Kaiyuan Realm. At the age of 13, he can be considered a genius even in Linzi City, but Hua Kai knows his own affairs. His qualification is only D- now, and the middle stage of Kaiyuan Realm is his limit.
Hua Zichen has been training for more than 8 hours every day these days. His horse has no stamina, so he uses the newly promoted BMW to exhaust himself every day. His attributes have become:
Hua Zichen: Qi Training Level 6
Qualification: A+
Constitution: 46
Strength: 47
Will: 59
Confucianism: Student
Taoism: Student
Divine Power: Shadow Body Transformation
Mental Skill: Jingxin Jue (Yellow Grade Advanced Mental Skill) Great Perfection

Righteousness value: 141/165
Loyalty value: 100
Fifth uncle Hua Zichen has risen from Qidong Realm 1st level to Qi Lian Realm 6th level in less than half a year. He is now more and more confident. If he uses his own righteousness with all his strength, Yu Jun is not his opponent in three moves. Even if he does not use his own righteousness, his martial arts are much higher than Yu Jun.
So if Hua Zichen used to be an ordinary genius, he practiced [Righteousness Jue] as a Confucian student, and his Qidong Realm 1 strength should be the same level of genius as Yu Jun in Qidong Realm 9. Now Hua Zichen, at the age of 25, has comprehended the mental methods of Confucianism and Taoism, his will is far beyond his own realm, and he also has his own magical powers. This kind of genius is already a top genius. Perhaps only those geniuses of the same generation can suppress him.
Hua Kai was riding on a horse and listening to his grandfather's instructions. He sat firmly on the horse, lowered his center of gravity, let the warhorse run to find his own balance, and then quickly shot the target when he encountered the enemy. The whole action was smooth.
At this time, a middle-aged man from the Jia family came out of his caravan on horseback, fully armed, followed by more than 30 members of the Jia family caravan on horseback. It seemed that they were also training to fight on horseback like the Hua family.
The middle-aged man from the Jia family kept staring at Hua Zichen after leaving his caravan. Hua Zichen seemed to have sensed that the other party was not simple, and nodded to him from a distance.
The Hua family caravan recently listened to Hua Kai's talk about "Three Kingdoms" and liked the fighting scenes in it very much. They all started to make a noise for the two to compete.
Generally, it is normal for the leaders of two caravans to have a friendly fight. The members of the Jia family caravan also followed suit. When they got here, they were also interested. The middle-aged man pulled over and waited for Hua Zichen to come.
"Hua family, how about a competition? No spear head is attached to the weapon, and the one who falls loses?" The middle-aged man was named Jia Zhan, with a cultivation level of the 7th level of Qi training. He was the strongest fighter of the Jia family, and there were only a handful of people in the entire Guang County who could beat him.
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Hua Zichen said as he removed his spear head and wrapped it with a piece of cotton cloth. He was afraid that even without the spear head, the opponent might be seriously injured.
When the entire Jia family saw that Jia Zhan was going to duel with someone, they stopped the convoy and parked on the side of the road. It was difficult to find entertainment activities during the business trip, and everyone thought that Jia Zhan valued Hua Zichen and wanted to teach him something.
"Jia Zhan of the Jia family, please teach me [Kuangfeng Halberd]!" Jia Zhan and Hua Zichen came to an open space and kowtowed.
The Hua family caravan, led by Hua Kai, also stopped to watch them compete. The players of the two families shouted the names of their supporters outside the field. Hua Kai checked Jia Zhan's attributes.
Jia Zhan: Qi Training Level 7
Qualification: A-
Constitution: 51
Strength: 47
Will: 49
Mental Skill: Crazy Demon Mental Skill (Xuan-level intermediate mental skill) minor success
Halberd Skill: Crazy Wind Halberd (Xuan-level low-level halberd skill) major success
This attribute is not a little bit worse than that of Uncle Wu, but the two are competing on horseback, so there is suspense. Although Uncle Wu has been practicing horsemanship recently, he is not far behind Jia Zhan.
"Hua Zichen of the Hua family, please teach me [Sky Spear]!" Hua Zichen also bowed his hand in return.
Under the gaze of hundreds of spectators, Jia Zhan and Hua Zichen pulled a hundred meters apart, and the two attacked each other at the same time.
Hua Zichen's horse was obviously much better than Jia Zhan's. He was very fast and approached the opponent in just three breaths. [Sky Spear] and one move [Explosive Thrust] directly hit the opponent's chest. All the moves in the Qi Training Level battle were very fast, and the players of the two families were shocked.
Jia Zhan has been in the Qi training realm for more than 40 years. Now he is over 70 years old. He looks like he is in his 40s because he is in the Qi training realm. His grasp of the Qi training realm is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
I saw that a Qi armor suddenly appeared around the end of the gun that was about to poke Jia Zhan's chest. Hua Zichen felt that the long gun was slightly blocked. When he reacted, Jia Zhan's body tilted slightly, and the Qi was released again, and he easily avoided his martial arts attack.
But Hua Zichen had expected all this. When he missed the attack, a Qi suddenly flew towards Jia Zhan from the end of his gun. This was the biggest killer move.
Jia Zhan felt the danger coming, roared, and the Qi in his whole body gathered in his chest. The halberd in his hand stabbed Hua Zichen's head with all his strength. The gun body was full of Qi. This was defending while not forgetting to attack. The audience around saw it and opened their eyes in their hearts. It is not easy to see the duel in the Qi training realm.
Hua Zichen smiled slightly when he saw the opponent's attack. He ignored the explosion of the opponent's gun tip. Jia Zhan was terrified and had to give up the attack. He didn't expect the opponent's gun skills to be so exquisite. He lost the first round.
The two separated immediately after just one contact. The moves were so thrilling that only those above the Qidong realm could see one or two of them. Many people in the Jia family couldn't help but frown. Hua Zijie's moves were so exquisite that Jia Zhan suffered a loss in the first round.
