In the Chu family's meeting hall, the four elders saw that everyone's eyes were looking at each other, and continued: "There are so many forces in Split Rock City, but they just found such a fearful person as Chen Kangan, presumably to get detailed information about the previous battle, so that they can make decisions in the future. ”

The high-level officials couldn't help but nod when they heard this, Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "Yes, many forces in the city came to watch the battle that day, and Chen Kangan must have been there. ”

While listening, the third elder stroked his snow-white beard in his hand, and then added: "In the old man's opinion, the Gu family entered the city this time just to inquire about the exact situation, at least for now, there is no intention of embarrassing us, otherwise they will directly call the door, what are you going to do in the Chen Martial Arts Hall?"

The others also agreed, "That's right, if you have the idea of attacking, you won't just send such a few people over, you must be listening to the news." ”

The second elder asked: "The news of Ayun Jian's slashing of the Gu Family's Ning Dan Realm should have spread a long time ago, and you can know it outside, why bother sending people over, if we make trouble, none of these people will be able to go back." ”

All the high-ranking officials frowned, fell into deep thought, and soon the four elders replied uncertainly: "I think I should want to find witnesses at the scene to ask about this matter, the rumors outside are exaggerated, some praise our clan is omnipotent, that kind of false information has no reference value, the Gu family wants to get the most real process, so they took great pains to enter Split Rock City." ”

"Makes sense. The three elders nodded in approval, and then said, "Will their purpose be so simple?"

In this regard, the high-level officials thought for a while, but they didn't come up with a second reason for the time being, so they could only accept this reason, and then agreed to keep monitoring the movements of the Gu family, but not to take the initiative to dispute with them.

The messenger returned to the courtyard, wrote a few sentences of the conclusions of the high-level officials into a short message in the fastest speed and the most concise language, tied it in an envelope to the pigeon's paws, released the white dove, and replied to the front-line monitoring personnel.

In fact, the four elders only guessed part of it correctly, and only when they came to Split Rock City to find witnesses could they get real and detailed information, which was just one of the Gu family's intentions, and the other intention was to save a little face.

The last attack on the Chu family damaged Gu Li, the patriarch of the clan, and after the news came out, it shocked the entire clan, and many clansmen were furious, proposing to gather stronger forces and exterminate the Chu family in one fell swoop.

However, these were all single-handedly suppressed by Gu Jiuyang with an extremely tough attitude, as the head of the Gu family, he knew that his family's situation was not too optimistic, after all, he had to face the old enemy of the Qinglan Gang.

The Gu family's power was originally slightly better than that of the Qinglan Gang, but the Qinglan Gang has been building troops and buying horses in recent years, and the gap between them has gradually narrowed.

The cultivation of the Taishang Elder in the clan has reached the peak of the Ning Dan Realm, and he is moving towards the Ascending Heaven Realm, once he can succeed, even if the County Guard Mansion has the support of the royal family of the Tianluo Kingdom, secretly their Gu family can have the final say.

After all, this continent pursues strength as the king, if the Gu family can produce a strong person in the Heaven Ascending Realm, it may not necessarily be respected by Yang Yanxiao, the county guard in charge of Bailing County, if it is operated upwards and with the permission of the officials of the Tianluo Kingdom court, the county guard will be squeezed out, and it is very possible for Gu Jiuyang himself to serve as the county guard.

In fact, officials at all levels of the imperial court also practice the survival of the fittest, although the current incumbents have a first-mover advantage, but if someone under them raises their strength enough to break it, then the priority will be reversed, and the entire county will be changed.

For the imperial court, no matter who is the county guard, it doesn't matter much, as long as you obey the leadership of the country, follow the rules of the past, pay a certain amount of tribute every year, and respond to the call of the lord of the country in wartime.

If the strength is not enough to command the subordinates, in addition to the county guards who are extremely hard in the background, the imperial court will generally choose the stronger ones to take over the new county guards. Within the Tianluo Kingdom, such a local land snake has gone one step further and replaced the original county guard, although it is not every year, it is not too rare.

Elder Taishang's breakthrough, this is a hundred-year cause, even Gu Jiuyang does not dare to assign it to him. With Gu Li's strength, he still died in Split Rock City, except for the Taishang Elder in the clan, Gu Jiuyang and the Great Elder were the ones who could have the upper hand over Gu Li, and the others were at most equal, Gu Li could die, and others naturally had the possibility of dying.

But Gu Jiuyang knew that if he moved, the Qinglan Gang would definitely not be able to sit still, and its gang leader Hong Longxiang would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob, Hong Longxiang and the Chu family's master who could kill Gu Li, even if it was himself, there was a lot of risk.

As for the Great Elder Qingming, he is also a well-known big man, if he comes forward, he will not be able to sit still if he wants to come to the Qinglan Gang to some old guys, and it is not appropriate to think about it.

If you start the war, it is good to win, but if you lose, it will be a catastrophe, and you will be pressed by the opponent so much that you can't raise your head for the rest of your life.

Although Gu Jiuyang is domineering, he has always kept a clear head, he doesn't want the Gu family to be defeated in his own hands and fall into a state of no return, otherwise, what face will he have to meet the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan?

Therefore, although when he learned that Gu Li had died, he was also very angry at first, and even had the idea of going east to destroy the Chu family, but after a little thought, he vetoed it himself.

According to the current situation that is not optimistic, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the family, the Chu family is still unable to move.

Gu Feng's death, and Gu Li's party were all killed, leaving only Gu Ling'er alive, but he didn't know where he was, Gu Jiuyang was of course very angry with the Chu family, the initiator, but as the helmsman of a big family, of course he knew the importance of staying sane.

However, even if you have lost someone, you always have to pick up a little face.

He sent this team to Riprock City for two purposes.

First, on the premise of not conflicting with the Chu family, find witnesses at the scene to learn detailed information and find out how Gu Li died, if someone plotted to death, then the Chu family's power may not be as strong as imagined, and Jiuyang may change his mind and send someone to attack again.

All you need to do is send another Ning Dan Realm elder to be extra careful and beware of other people's plots.

Second, send people to go deep into the city where the Chu family is stationed, and then return with a long march, which can be regarded as saving a little face.

The last time he attacked the Chu family, of course the other party had to fight back, but this time it was different, as early as before he set off, he gave a strict order to the clansmen he sent, this trip must be low-key, not to breed trouble, and not to take the initiative to provoke the Chu family.

In this case, if the Chu family still dares to make a move, then they will fight to rob the Qinglan Gang while it is hot, so that the family's vitality will be greatly damaged, and the clan will be completely destroyed.

He has already made concessions, so the Chu family must give such a little face, which is also the bottom limit of his Gu Jiuyang.

Gu Zhentian and his entourage arrived at the Chen Martial Arts Hall, Chen Kangan got the news in advance, and greeted Hou at the door early, groveling on the surface, flattering to the extreme, however, there was a deep fear in his heart, his legs were trembling, and he personally guided the other party to a hall where the VIPs were received.

Chen Kangan invited everyone in the Gu family to sit down, and ordered the female disciple to bring tea and tea sets, and brewed tea that had been treasured for many years by hand.

Gu Zhentian asked him how Gu Li died, and confirmed that the other party was talking about the Ning Dan Realm powerhouse who fought with Chu Yun, Chen Kangan said in detail, when Chu Yun and Gu Li fought, he also rushed to the scene, so what he said was very clear.

"What, you said that Chu Yun was originally out of disadvantage, but then the inexplicable swordsmanship made a big advance, and a sword gang passed, and he didn't even have time to react, so he split it in half?"

Gu Zhentian showed a look of shock on his face, Gu Li's strength, he had always admired, he didn't think that he would not only be held back by the Chu family alone, but also killed with his own hands, and he didn't even react.

How fast is this person's sword speed, this kind of master is also rare in their Gu family, but it unexpectedly appeared in such a small city.

The faces of the other clansmen also showed deep jealousy, and there was lingering fear in their eyes.

This person's swordsmanship is so powerful, presumably the real combat power is limited compared to their patriarch.

"Even if the villain has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he does not dare to deceive the adults. The head of the Song Xuan family who was present was also an expert in using swords, according to what he said, this should be sensing the pulse of the sword, and the swordsmanship was promoted to the realm of swordsmanship. Chen Kangan carefully explained.

"Jian Hao?" Even if these Gu family members were of noble birth and well-informed, they couldn't help but gasp fiercely, and a thick look of shock appeared in their eyes.
