282 The account book showed that this month, the entire Eagle Hall's income was only 1,500 taels, which was half less than the 3,000 taels of last month.
Qin Ying couldn't sit still when he looked at the account book: "How could this happen?"
"It's all because of those bastards from the White Tiger Hall!"
Qin Bao was speaking angrily at this time. He was in charge of the entire Xiongyingtang lending business.
"Brother, the White Tiger Hall is going too far. They actually raised the loan interest rate to 10% out and 12% back. The White Tiger Hall has the Nanhu Salt Field to support it, so it can hold on, but how can we hold on? If they continue like this, our Eagle Hall will be ruined!"
"Yes, big brother, the White Tiger Hall is too bullying. Yesterday I found two traitors who were preparing to secretly defect to the White Tiger Hall, and now there are many people who have such thoughts. If we don't react, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long, and all our men will run away."
Qin Ying frowned after hearing this. The White Tiger Hall was going too far!
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly.
Qin Hu and Qin Bao looked over and said, "Brother, are you going to gather all your men and horses to fight the White Tiger Hall?"
"spell?"
Qin Ying looked at Qin Hu and Qin Bao and asked, "Can we defeat them?"
It is true that it is now very difficult for the Eagle Hall to compete head-on with the White Tiger Hall. Although Chen Jie's strength in the past six months cannot be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, it has certainly improved. Although Qin Ying has made up for the weakness of his Blood Eagle Claw through some methods.
His strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and is no weaker than Chen Jie half a year ago. However, Chen Jie will definitely not wait for him there, so he must be stronger.
Moreover, Qin Ying did not expect that there were actually many hidden talents in the White Tiger Hall. One of Chen Jie's subordinates named Chen Xiaohu actually broke through the Iron Bone Realm and entered the Transformation Realm a month ago.
And half a month ago, in a conflict between the Eagle Hall and the White Tiger Hall, he fought with Qin Hu and beat Qin Hu to death.
Qin Hu said that Xiaohu's strength should be about the same as Qin Ying's half a year ago, and Chen Jie also gave him the stone-opening hand.
It's just that when he broke through, his foundation might not be stable, so his strength was not that strong and he could only be at the bottom of the Hua Jin.
He was really right about this, because Xiaohu's breakthrough was due to the half of the Hualing Pill that Chen Jie gave him.
Chen Jie originally thought that if he could break through, he would break through, and if he couldn't, he would just take it as a tonic to improve his strength. As a result, Xiaohu did break through successfully, but the effect of that half of the Hualing Pill was not enough, causing Xiaohu to become like Qin Ying back then, at the bottom of the Huajin level.
But even if he is at the bottom, he is still at the level of Hua Jin.
He is also much stronger than Qin Hu and Qin Bao, the two half-baked ones. Moreover, his foundation is unstable due to the deficiency of his origin. As long as Chen Jie gives him some tonics to replenish his foundation, he will be able to adjust quickly.
Therefore, the White Tiger Hall is now strong in both men and horses. If a real fight breaks out, the Eagle Hall feels that it cannot gain the upper hand.
Qin Ying thought about it and stood up.
Qin Hu asked, "Where are you going, brother?"
Qin Ying said: "Go ask the gang leader for justice!"
…
Jixiang Temple!
Chen Jie hugged the naked Huang Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, haven't you got your "Mysterious Ice Power" yet?"
Huang Wan'er said, "Soon."
Chen Jie said, "In the past six months, I have come to Jixiang Temple to accompany you once every two weeks. The five times agreed upon have long passed. You have broken your promise."
Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "You knew I was going to break my promise, so why did you come?"
Chen Jie laughed and said, "It's just that we fall in love after a long time."
Huang Wan'er turned over and rode on Chen Jie's body and asked, "What about you and sister Yunjin?"
Seeing such a beauty lying on top of him, Chen Jie hugged her waist and said, "You said you wouldn't compete with Yun Jin for favor."
"But I am a woman, and women can change."
Huang Wan'er was not willing to be outdone. Upon hearing this, Chen Jie lost all his momentum and said, "You are different from her."
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie like this, a trace of loneliness appeared on her face and she said, "Yes, she is the wife you married officially, and I am just a wild flower by the roadside. Then you should go back quickly, and be careful of the queen, she might get angry and come to catch you in adultery."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Yun Jin knows that I came to see you."
Huang Wan'er heard this and said as if she had punched cotton: "It's not like that. We were originally a deal. When did it become like this? I don't like the feeling of being bound!"
Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "I don't like it either, but some people said they would steal Xuanbing Jin for me, and they haven't done it yet. Since they have breached the contract, I can only collect some liquidated damages."
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie and said, "You are very brave now, aren't you afraid that Nan Batian will know about us?"
Chen Jie said: "I'm afraid, but not that afraid!"
"Oh, the wings are hard?"
Huang Wan'er laughed.
Chen Jie said: "It's hard, but not hard enough. Nan Batian is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. Half a month ago, his cultivation broke through to the peak of Huajin. So my originally sufficient plan has become insufficient again."
"You can't beat him?"
Chen Jie said: "Well, my current strength is still far behind that of Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai. These two old guys have been roaming around in Mianshui for many years, so they still have some skills."
"But it's not easy for them to kill me now. If they wanted to kill me half a year ago, I could only run away. But now, haha, no matter their personal strength or the power of the underworld, if they want to kill me, they will have to pay an unimaginable price."
"This is what I've been preparing for for half a year."
As Chen Jie was speaking, Huang Wan'er put her arms around Chen Jie's neck and said, "Chen Lang, give me some time. I can definitely steal the Mysterious Ice Power for you."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, I believe you, but if you can't steal it, don't take the risk."
Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "You, you actually care about me."
Chen Jie said: "If I don't like it, I can just not care."
Huang Wan'er said: "I like it."
Chen Jie stood up and said, "It's almost time. I should go."
Huang Wan'er reluctantly said, "Stay a little longer."
Chen Jie said: "If you stay out for too long, people will become suspicious."
As Chen explained, he stood up, put on his clothes, turned around and left. Ever since the incident at the White Tiger Hall that day, he had basically told Su Yunjin about his relationship with Huang Wan'er.
Chen Jie didn't want to lie to Su Yunjin, so he told her everything.
Otherwise, this was just a story about women in this feudal society. If women in later generations heard about this kind of thing, they would definitely go crazy. Not only would they divorce you, they would also make a scene with you. But Su Yunjin was very calm.
He had even made plans for this and even asked a question: When will Sister Huang be brought into the house? A woman without a legitimate status will be looked down upon outside.
Chen Jie was confused: "Madam, are you so careless? Are you still concerned about whether others will be looked down upon at this time?"
Su Yunjin said: "Husband, do you know when it is the most tormenting?"
Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin said, "Wait."
"On the battlefield, swords are drawn and a single blow kills a person. The most frightening thing is beheading. If you are told that the execution will take place at 15:30, then the time from the moment you tell the prisoner to the moment his head falls to the ground is the most terrifying."
"If the knife really strikes and the head falls off, I will be free. My husband, I know that you will not have only me as your woman. I will try to guess who this woman is, whether she is easy to get along with, whether she is sincere or fake to you, and whether she will hurt me and Ruirui?"
"I was very nervous because of this speculation, but when I saw Sister Huang that day, I realized that she was also a miserable person and she was not difficult to get along with. So I put my mind at ease and felt much better."
After hearing what his wife said, Chen Jie fell into deep thought. Did he always think about things with modern thinking and misunderstand the women in this world?
However, he doesn't dare to bring Huang Wan'er into the mansion at the moment, after all, Nan Batian is there.
There is still a gap between his power and that of Nan Batian.
If I fight him head-on, the result will be my defeat and Nan Batian's victory!
However, because he had untied the ties between the two women, Chen Jie's attitude towards the two women was no longer the same as before. He was also more tolerant towards Huang Wan'er, and then he discovered that this crazy woman was actually a poor creature, and her madness was all caused by her neurosis.
All her abnormal behaviors are a form of self-protection, but they are not understood by ordinary people.
After Chen Jie put on his clothes, Huang Wan'er also put on her clothes quietly and stood up to help Chen Jie tidy up his clothes.
Chen Jie saw that the hairpin on her head was a little messy, so he reached out to help her tidy it up. Then the two smiled at each other, and Chen Jie turned and left through the window.
As soon as he went out of the window and onto the roof, he saw an old nun standing there with a gloomy face. Chen Jie nodded at her and left immediately.
That's right, the old nun is from Jixiang Temple, Master Jingxiang.
Chen Jie comes once every half a month now, how could Master Jingxiang not know about it at all? Moreover, sometimes the sound is louder, so there must be something wrong, especially since it cannot be hidden from this Master who is in the Iron Bone Realm.
However, Chen Jie was not afraid and talked to her once.
Let me make it clear. Your lady was raped by a rapist here. It was your fault. Do you think Nan Batian will vent his anger on you?
Moreover, the madam is Nan Batian's concubine. Now that something like this has happened, do you think Gang Leader Nan will exterminate the entire Jixiang Temple in order to silence them?
In the end, you are going to tell on him. Even if he doesn't kill your entire family, do you think I can?
So, Master, it's better to pretend that you don't know. It will be good for you, me, and Nan Batian, right?
So, Master Shizuka found out about this.
Chen Jie came out of the house and saw five or six people waiting for him in the woods.
The leader was Xiaohu.
The other four are members of the Tiger Guard, and all of them are willing to die for Chen Jie.
Chen Jie came out, and Xiao Hu said, "Master."
Chen Jie said: "Return to the city."
"Why."
Xiaohu responded, and the group immediately headed towards Mianshui City.
At this time, Chen Jie left the room and Huang Wan'er sat there. Du Juan opened the door and brought a basin of warm water.
At this moment, the door opened, bringing in a cool breeze.
A cool breeze blew, and Huang Wan'er suddenly felt nauseous in her chest. She covered her mouth and began to dry heave.
"oh oh..."
Du Juan came over and patted her on the back, saying, "Madam, you are sick again. What should we do?"
"I'm fine, oh..."
Huang Wan'er waved her hands.
Du Juan said, "But Madam, you are retching for no apparent reason. I asked someone about this and they said that only pregnant women would do this. Madam, you are not pregnant, are you?"
"Whoa whoa..."
