Chapter 185: The Underworld
Three days later, Han Yi and Mei Kui rode the Goldfinch to Tianhai City.
"Master, don't you want to ask me what I said to Lu Li?"
"That's your and Brother Lu's secret, I won't ask about it. Han Yi replied lightly.
"If what he's going to do next is likely to kill him, isn't the master going to stop him?"
"It was his own choice, it was none of my business. ”
Hearing this, Mei Kui fell silent. I don't know why, he always feels that Han Yi seems to have become a little different from before.
Just as the two of them were heading towards Tianhai City on the Goldenfinch Bird, at the west gate of Gale City, a slightly chubby young man held the white porcelain jar and left to the west.
"Xiaoyu, I'll take you home now. ”
"I'm sorry I can't keep the agreement between us, but I'm sure I'll avenge you. ”
The young man looked at the white porcelain jar, smiled, and said.
The Goldenfinch had only been flying for an hour, and Han Yi saw the outline of Tianhai City, the city that he used to think was huge and magnificent, but now it was so small in his eyes, compared to Cangzhou City, Tianhai City was just an insignificant town-like place.
After flying for about half an hour, Han Yi patted the goldfinch on the neck, and the goldfinch let out a chirp and immediately swooped down towards a forest below the ground.
Jumping off the goldfinch bird's back, Han Yi gently stroked its lowered head, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao Jin, you can move around here now, don't let people see you. ”
"Er. The goldfinch chirped in response.
"Go ahead. ”
Han Yi waved his hand, and Xiao Jin ran towards the depths of the forest.
"Let's go too, Tianhai City, I didn't expect to come back here in my lifetime. ”
As he spoke, his figure flew out, his black cloak cutting through the air and the sound of hunting. The ghostly movement followed closely behind Han Yi.
In less than half an hour, the two of them came to Tianhai City from the forest hundreds of miles away, and entered the city in the flow of people.
Han Yi walked along the familiar street with Mei Kui, and the memories of the scenes came to mind, the good and the bad, the happy and the unhappy all came back, and came back to find him.
He hasn't been gone for a long time, but those memories make him feel like a change after years of vicissitudes. Probably because he didn't want to return to this place from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't really forget it, so he felt like this when he came back here again.
The two of them came to the Han family's outer mansion and looked at the simple and dilapidated house from a distance, and the teenagers were pushing and shoving a thin child outside the house.
"Hmph, waste, hurry up and hand over this month's cultivation resources. An older child said menacingly, glaring at the emaciated child.
"Why should I give it to you?" the thin child pursed his lips.
"Why, just this. The older child punched the thin child in the face, and the thin child fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
He glared fiercely at the big kid, clutching the contents of his arms tightly.
"Damn, dare to stare at me and hit me. The eldest child was furious, and gave the order, and immediately five or six children gathered around and punched and kicked the thin child.
Han Yi watched from afar, frowned, and took a step.
"Stop. Suddenly a voice sounded in the distance, and the older children turned around and saw the person who made the sound, and they immediately fled in fright.
"A bunch of bastards. The young man came to the emaciated boy and helped him up, "How are you?
"It's okay, I can't die. The emaciated child looked at the big children who had fled, and the fierce light in his eyes flowed, and one day, he would take revenge.
"It's better to join our underworld, I'll cover you. The youth said.
"Black ...... Society?" The skinny boy didn't understand what it was.
"The underworld is an organization founded by our boss Han Long, and many people in the younger family have added our underworld. The young man said with a smug face.
"Young Master Han Long, the grandson of the Fourth Elder. ”
"Yes, with him covering us, there are not many people in the Han family who dare to bully us. ”
"But, isn't that a descendant to join?"
"Of course not, when Boss Han Long founded the underworld, he said that whether it is a descendant of the family or a side line, as long as he is willing to follow him, he can join the underworld. ”
"You're not going to want anything from me, are you?"
"I'll go, what are you in our underworld, robbers or bandits, we don't charge protection fees, as long as you support Young Master Han Long, then it will be, and the most important thing in our underworld is righteousness, you must not betray your brother, you can't betray the organization, otherwise you will be discovered, what are the consequences, I think you know well." ”
"You don't have to pay protection money, okay, then I'll join. The thin boy looked into the young man's eyes and said.
"Well, not bad, I didn't expect to come out for a walk today, and I can still receive a little brother. There were a large number of thin boys above and below the young man, "It's just that the cultivation is a little lower, the early stage of the spirit disciple, but it doesn't matter, we don't need you to fight." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Han family's inner mansion.
"Come with me, you don't have to live here in the future, the members of the underworld live in the inner mansion. ”
"Can I too?" the boy surprised.
"Of course, this is an exclusive perk for us. ”
Han Yi, who was in the corner in the distance, looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and his face under the cloak was very exciting.
"The underworld, I said that at the beginning, Han Long, this kid actually really wrote it down. ”
"The underworld that doesn't charge protection money is completely strange on the earth. There are also benefits, this Han Long really has ideas. ”
"Master, do you want to take a look?" asked Mei Kui when he heard Han Yi's whisper.
"No, we need more important things to do, we need to find out where the assassins of the Shadow Hall are lurking in Tianhai City, and the purpose of their gathering. ”
After he finished speaking, he left with Mei Kui. The two settled in a remote inn in the city, and during the meal, Han Yi asked the second child in the store for news.
"Little Er, do you know if there have been any major events in Tianhai City recently?" Han Yi asked while eating, and Mei Kui sat quietly on the side, eating quietly.
"Big event, what kind of big thing are you talking about?"
"The two of us were originally also from Tianhai City, but we went out to practice more than a year ago, and now when we come back, we want to understand the changes in the pattern of Tianhai City first, and then make future plans. ”
"I see. The shopkeeper sat down on the side, looked left and right, and said, "If you want to talk about big things, there is really one thing." You know the Cheng family, right?"
"I know, one of the three major families in Tianhai City, but wasn't the Cheng family destroyed by a mysterious person before we left?" Han Yi said lightly.
"Yes, but just three months ago, overnight, the Cheng family actually revived. ”
"What?" Han Yi was startled and looked up at the shopkeeper, "What's going on?"
"I don't know what the specific situation is, but I heard that Cheng Ling, the second son of the Cheng family, and Cheng Shan, the fourth elder, are not dead, and now they have returned to Tianhai City to rebuild the Cheng family, and they also plan to do something to the Han family and the martial family. ”
"Just by how the two of them deal with the Han family and the martial family, the foundation of those two families is not weak at all, and there are as many as ten monks in the spirit master stage combined. ”
"Objective, you don't know this, Cheng Shan, the fourth elder of the Cheng family, is now a spiritual sect cultivator, so it is not difficult to deal with the Han family and the martial family. In the past three months, the Cheng family has had constant friction with the Han family and the martial family, and it has never been the Cheng family who suffers. Some people say that the current head of the Cheng family, Cheng Ling, is very calculating, and every friction catches the Han and Wu families off guard. ”
"Cheng Ling. Han Yi frowned, that guy was really difficult.
"And it is said that now the Han and Wu families have concluded an alliance and are ready to join forces to deal with the Cheng family. The days after Tianhai City will not be peaceful. After speaking, the shopkeeper stood up, "Objectively, you eat slowly, I'll go and get busy first." ”
"Hmm. Han Yi threw a silver coin to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was suddenly full of surprise and thanked him again and again.
"The Han Wu Alliance, the Cheng family, and the hidden Shadow Hall, I didn't expect the pattern of Tianhai City to become so complicated. ”
"Could it be that the assassins of the Shadow Hall gathered here and have something to do with the Cheng family? Three months ago, the Cheng family resurged, and the disciples of the Spirit Mansion also began to disappear three months ago. A small wooden box suddenly appeared in Han Yi's mind, "Those merchants in Sang Yu City also disappeared from Sang Yu City a month ago, it could all be a coincidence." ”
"Coincidence, there are so many coincidences in this world. ”
Han Yi and Mei Kui went back to the room after eating to discuss the next plan of action, and he sat down at the table, frowning slightly.
"Mei Kui, with what you know about the Shadow Hall, what kind of thing would have caused them to mobilize so many assassins to gather in one place?"
"Except for some assassination operations that require the cooperation of multiple people, there is only the competition for certain important resources that will make the Hall of Shadows mobilize so many assassins. Mei Kui thought for a moment and said.
"There are no characters in Tianhai City, it is worth such a big fight from the Shadow Hall, the only possibility is what kind of treasure exists here, which makes them excited. Han Yi smiled and said, "It seems that we need to get in touch with the people of the Han family's martial family, if there is something in Tianhai City that can make the Shadow Hall covet, then these two families obviously won't be unaware." ”
"In addition, I think the force that secretly supports the Cheng family is probably the Shadow Hall. ”
"Well, when we were tasked with assassinating our master, the order was given by one of the Shadow Guardians himself. Mei Kui nodded.
"The Cheng family really has some ability, and they can have a relationship with the Shadow Hall's Dharma Protector-level figures. Okay, let's start working separately, the Cheng family will be in charge of you, I want to know their every move, be careful, if our speculation is correct, the assassins of the Shadow Hall are likely to be hidden in the Cheng family. ”
"Well, I'll be careful. ”
