Chapter 346 Dying
Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken are very popular in the county town. After all, the county town has a population of 20 and the number of martial artists far exceeds that of Taiping County and Ding'an County. In just two days, the 70 Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens released by the Zheng family were sold out. Now, martial artists go to Zheng Bao Lou every day to inquire whether there are Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens for sale.
The 100 Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens left behind by the Zheng family have been almost completely consumed after about a month.
According to the agreement between Chen Dao and Zheng Qiuyan, Chenjia Village would provide Zhengjia with 150 Blood Feather Chickens and 50 Red Blood Chickens every month, and now it was time for the second transaction.
Unfortunately, Chen Dao seemed to be intentionally controlling the number of Blood Feather Chickens and Crimson Blood Chickens sold, and was unwilling to sell more to the Zheng family.
Zheng Qiuyan sighed inwardly. Blood Feather Chicken and Crimson Blood Chicken were so popular in the county town. If Chen Dao were willing to sell more, the Zheng family's profits would be even higher.
As for using coercive methods to force Chen Dao to sell more chickens...
That's impossible. Not to mention the Zheng family's emphasis on business reputation, Chen Dao's own power is enough to make them wary.
The Zheng family would rather be on good terms with Chen Dao than to antagonize him.
"sister."
Zheng Yu, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up and said, "I've heard that the yellow-feathered chickens in Taiping County are very delicious. When you go to Taiping County this time, could you bring back more yellow-feathered chickens?"
As Zhang He sold more and more yellow-feathered chickens to Ding'an County, the reputation of yellow-feathered chickens gradually spread to the neighboring Dingxing County. Zheng Yu also heard others talk about the deliciousness of yellow-feathered chickens, and as a foodie, Zheng Yu inevitably became a little curious about the taste of yellow-feathered chickens.
"no problem."
Zheng Qiuyan said with a doting expression. She didn't have any ill feelings towards her younger brother; on the contrary, she had doted on him since he was a child.
"Great!"
Zheng Yu cheered.
Zheng Qing glared at Zheng Yu, then said, "Yan'er, you must be careful when you leave the city this time."
"Father, are you referring to the Taishan bandits outside the city?"
"Not bad!"
Zheng Qing nodded and said in a deep voice, "Although the Taishan bandits may not dare to attack you, it's better to be safe than sorry. When you go to Taiping County this time, you must bring enough guards!"
"I understand, Father."
Zheng Qiuyan nodded solemnly.
Zheng Qing continued, "Furthermore, when you go to Taiping County this time, don't forget to discuss cooperation with Chen Dao!"

Outside the city, at the Wang Family Manor.
Wang Wu, who had escaped from Chenjia Village, lay pale and on the verge of death on his bed, where a doctor with snow-white hair was treating him.
Beside the bed, Wang Wenshu, the head of the Wang family, had a gloomy expression.
Last month, he sent three of his clan's sixth-rank peak martial artists, Wang Wu, Wang Nian, and Wang Zhuang, to Taiping County, with the intention of killing the lawless Chen Dao.
Wang Wenshu originally thought that with the strength of Wang Wu and the other two, killing Chen Dao should not be a problem.
But to his utter surprise, not only did Wang Wu and his two companions fail to kill Chen Dao, but when they returned, only Wang Wu remained!
At the end of last month, Wang Wu, who was on the verge of death, returned to the Wang family home. Before he could say a word, he collapsed at the door and has been unconscious on his bed ever since.
This made Wang Wenshu very anxious. He wanted to know what Wang Wu and the other two had experienced, and why only one of them had returned after setting off, while Wang Wu remained unconscious. He couldn't find out what was going on.
"Master of the house."
The elderly man who had treated Wang Wu stood up and reported, "Wang Wu's condition has stabilized, and he should wake up soon, however..."
The old man hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Wang Wu must have used the Blood Explosion technique. Many of his meridians are ruptured, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make any further progress in martial arts in the future!"
The method of blood explosion places an enormous burden on a martial artist's body. Martial artists who have used the blood explosion method may suffer damage to their meridians at best, and death from a ruptured heart at worst.
Wang Wu was relatively lucky; his meridians were damaged, but his heart was not seriously affected, and he was able to barely survive.
However, the consequences of damaged meridians are still very serious. Even if Wang Wu survives, his strength will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer have the peak strength of the sixth rank. He may even become a complete cripple, and a cripple who will be unable to cultivate martial arts.
"I see."
Wang Wenshu's expression grew increasingly grim. Wang Wu possessed the strength of a peak sixth-rank martial artist. Even in the wealthy and powerful Wang family, peak sixth-rank martial artists were extremely rare. Destroying Wang Wu was tantamount to cutting off an arm of the Wang family.
also……
What distressed Wang Wenshu even more was that, apart from Wang Wu, the other two sixth-rank martial artists, Wang Nian and Wang Zhuang, had not returned for a long time. Wang Wenshu couldn't help but wonder if they had encountered some misfortune.
"Master, then I shall take my leave."
The elderly man with gray hair left, while Wang Wenshu remained where he was, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
"master."
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open, and a still-attractive figure rushed in, pleading with Wang Wenshu, "Master, you must avenge Xi'er."
The figure who rushed in was none other than Jiang Qin, Wang Xi's birth mother and one of Wang Wenshu's many concubines.
Wang Wenshu turned to look at Jiang Qin, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. However, looking at Jiang Qin's beautiful face with tears streaming down her face, a touch of tenderness rose in his heart, and he said gently, "Qin'er, don't worry, I will definitely make that murderer suffer a terrible death!"
To be honest, although Wang Xi was Wang Wenshu's son, his status in Wang Wenshu's heart was... not even as high as that of a sixth-rank martial artist in the clan.
What angered Wang Wenshu was never that Wang Xi was beaten, but that Chen Dao had slapped the Wang family in the face and made them lose face!
However, Wang Xi's birth mother, the charming woman in front of him, was greatly favored by Wang Wenshu; otherwise, Wang Wenshu would not have allowed Wang Xi to run rampant in the county town.
"master."
Jiang Qin sobbed uncontrollably, "Xi'er is so young and already paralyzed in bed, what will become of him!"
"Uh……"
Just as Wang Wenshu was about to say something, a low moan came from the direction of the bed.
Wang Wenshu suddenly turned his head and saw that Wang Wu, who had been unconscious, had opened his eyes.
"You go out first."
Wang Wenshu's face darkened, and he waved for Jiang Qin to leave.
Jiang Qin was very sensible and dared not disobey Wang Wenshu. She quickly left the room and closed the door behind her.
Wang Wenshu walked to the bedside and asked with concern, "Wang Wu, are you alright?"
"Master of the house."
Wang Wu struggled to get up and bow, but found that he couldn't muster any strength and was in excruciating pain all over his body.
"No need for formalities, just lie down."
Wang Wenshu straightened Wang Wu's body and then asked impatiently, "What happened to you in Taiping County? How did you end up like this? And where are Wang Nian and Wang Zhuang?"
