AWB Chapter 125 Rong Family
Chapter 125 Rong Family
"Blood crystal grass? I thought this herb only existed in legends. Miss Qin is really capable..."
Si Heng had read the herbal medicine book countless times and had it imprinted in his mind for a long time. He recognized at a glance that what was in front of him was the herb he had been looking for.
"It's not a real skill, it's just a coincidence." Qin Ruo looked lazy, without any intention of showing off.
For a moment, Si Heng really didn't know what to say.
Since he had his own power, he sent out countless of his men, and even went into battle himself, but the herb was still unsuccessful.
In the end, he got it because of his unintentional action. He felt more and more that Qin Ruo was the destined person that Master Fakong mentioned.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Qin. It's just a small token of my respect." Si Heng took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
Qin Ruo didn't hesitate and started counting in front of Si Heng.
"Ten thousand taels? Mr. Si, you are quite generous. Thank you, you can take the rest." Qin Ruo took out a note worth one thousand taels and pushed the rest back.
How rich is this Si family? He can easily take out 10,000 taels. At that time, people were so angry that they compared themselves with others.
This thing has plenty of space, so she felt a little guilty about taking the ten thousand taels from Si Heng.
"Is my life not worth ten thousand taels? Miss Qin, just accept it." Si Heng pushed the banknote in front of Qin Ruo again.
In the past, people spent more than ten thousand taels to find this herb.
Although this blood crystal grass may not be used in the end, since Qin Ruo was able to come up with it, she should take the ten thousand taels.
"In this case... it seems that if I refuse again, it would seem a bit ungrateful. Thank you."
Now that the other party has said so, it would be impolite to refuse.
Isn't that an insult to the wealthy Mr. Si? Isn't life worthless?
Qin Ruo did not refuse and calmly took the banknote.
"Miss Qin, could you please tell me what is your relationship with the Rong family?" Si Heng changed the subject and asked this question abruptly.
The Rong family? Qin Ruo quickly searched her mind for memories about the Rong family.
It seems that there was no such person in the original owner Qin Qiuxi's memory.
At this moment, for some reason, she suddenly thought of her master Qin Qiuxi.
In the original owner's memory, she had a master, and she even remembered what he taught her clearly.
The only strange thing is that the face of that person is always vague in Qin Qiuxi's memory, and he can't piece together a specific image at all.
It was as if the other party had deliberately used some magic to conceal his true appearance.
In his previous life, when Qin Ruo was following his master, he actually mentioned that some hidden tribes had such secret techniques.
Qin Ruo has been in Dasheng for so long, but she has never thought about this matter carefully.
Now that Si Heng mentioned it, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
She had heard Old Lady Qin casually mention how handsome Qin Qiuxi's master was, but when she asked her about his specific appearance, Old Lady Qin was unable to describe it.
Another thing is that this person is a bit mysterious. He has lived in the Qin family for half a year and has never gone out. People just call him "Young Master".
Old Mrs. Qin knew nothing else.
That person has never appeared since he left Changhe Village.
Logically speaking, as a hunter, Qin Huaizheng should not have any connection with the Rong family.
Qin Ruo shook her head, getting rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.
"Master Si, do you think that a country girl like me could be related to the Rong family? However, I am somewhat curious about the origins of the Rong family. Are they very powerful?"
Qin Ruo suddenly became interested in the Rong family that Si Heng mentioned.
Si Heng did not miss the expression on Qin Ruo's face. He thought to himself that maybe he was overthinking it.
Indeed, with Qin Ruo's identity, it was impossible for her to come into contact with anyone from the Rong family. Judging from her tone, she had never even heard of the Rong family.
However, among the powerful and influential people in the capital, almost everyone knows about the Rong family.
The Rong family is an expert in both medicine and poison, and is famous for not fearing imperial power. They do things as they please and never come out easily.
Because he himself was poisoned, he also thought about seeking help from the Rong family.
After hitting a wall several times, he had to give up.
"It is rumored that the Rong family is an extremely mysterious and ancient sect. Its existence can be traced back to even earlier than the Great Sheng Dynasty. The Rong family is now located in the no-man's land on the border between the Great Sheng Dynasty and Xining State. This family is not subject to the control of the imperial power of any country, nor does it belong to any neighboring country, including our Great Sheng Dynasty."
"There was a rumor that if the Rong family emerged, the world would be settled. The Rong family is good at all kinds of secret arts and is good at making plans. More importantly, their influence spread all over the world. The current ruler of Dasheng is ambitious and once thought about taking over the power of the Rong family. But the result was not worth the loss..."
Having said that, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Si Heng's eyes.
"Of course, in addition to Dasheng, there are many countries that covet the power of the Rong family. Several countries once joined forces to attack them and annihilate them in one fell swoop, but they did not gain any advantage at all. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties and even lost the throne. Since then, the Rong family has become completely famous."
"Nowadays, the Rong family is welcomed as guests of honor by various countries, and they all want to use the power of the Rong family to achieve their own goals.
"So, this Rong family is really mysterious. Since they are so powerful, have they ever thought about taking the throne themselves and taking control of the world?"
Qin Ruo held her chin with her hand, her eyes gleaming with gossip.
Qin Ruo was really curious about this question.
There were only her and Si Heng here, so she was not afraid that her words would be heard by others.
"The Rong family is extremely low-key and will not take the initiative to interfere in worldly affairs. Perhaps they look down on it."
Si Heng said in a deep voice, and then he let out a long sigh.
The current Dasheng Dynasty may look bright and beautiful on the outside, but it is already rotten inside.
The emperor is suspicious of his subjects, and the subjects are also suspicious of the imperial power. However, the emperor has the highest power of punishment, and once he holds power in his hands, he will never want to let it go.
As a result, it is inevitable that some people will become victims of the struggle for imperial power.
Isn't that what I am like?
Once you are involved, it is impossible to stay out of it.
The only way is to stand at the top of power.
Thinking of this, a trace of deep disgust flashed across Si Heng's eyes, and then his eyes quietly turned blood red.
"Mr. Si, what are you thinking about?" Qin Ruo saw that Si Heng was not in a good state and spoke quickly.
Si Heng's eyes cleared up instantly, and a wave of fear surged in his heart. When did his self-control ability become so poor?
"Forget it. The Rong family you mentioned has nothing to do with a commoner like me. Let's end this topic here. Thank you, Mr. Si, for clearing up my confusion."
Qin Ruo didn't want to continue the conversation and ended the topic.
She was afraid that if they continued talking, this Si guy would become possessed by demons.
