Chapter 253: Wealth and Danger Seeking
Xiao Yanghao looked at Su Chen with a calm face, the Xiao family of Heze is also a second-rate force in the metaphysical world, and there will be people who will give face wherever they go, especially an organization like the Dao League.
The young man in front of him did not enter the oil and salt, which made Xiao Yanghao move to kill, especially thinking that his nephew in his clan was injured because of this, and his killing machine became more and more intense.
"Young man, give you one last chance. β
"This is also what I want to say to you, I go to the Dao Alliance to surrender and confess, and there can be a good result, if I make a move, then I will be embarrassed. β
"Elder, why bother arguing with this kid here, let me take action to abolish him, as for the Dao Alliance, just let Zhang Gongzi say hello when the time comes. β
A middle-aged man behind Xiao Yanghao couldn't help it, and directly punched at Su Chen, but Su Chen's right hand was just raised casually, and as soon as the man stepped into the threshold, the person flew out upside down.
Bang!
The middle-aged man flew upside down for four or five meters before falling to the ground.
When Xiao Yanghao saw this scene, his old eyes were surprised, this disciple in his clan had a ten-grade realm, and he could be regarded as a master, but he was defeated by the young man in front of him with one move.
On top of that, the young man's shot was extremely understated, and even he didn't see any energy fluctuations.
Such a person will definitely not be a nobody in the Daomeng.
"Who the hell are you?"
Xiao Yanghao looked at Su Chen, and his expression became serious and dignified for the first time.
"Su Chen!"
Su Chen didn't deliberately hide his name, but when he heard Su Chen report his name, Xiao Yanghao's expression changed suddenly, and he looked panicked.
A month ago, the name Su Chen was still an unfamiliar name in the metaphysical world, but now the name Su Chen is famous in the metaphysical world, especially for these second-rate and third-rate forces, they have explained to their disciples many times, for fear that their disciples will one day offend such a killing god.
made a big fuss about the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain, defeated the Tianjiao Ye Shengge of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and finally forced the Heavenly Master's Mansion to close the mountain, such a record can be said to be unprecedented in the metaphysical world for a hundred years.
And after this incident, people in the metaphysical world also knew that for Su Chen, if someone of his generation defeated Su Chen, it would be good to say that the Tian family would not make a move, but if there were elders who bullied the young with the old, the Tian family would knock on the door.
But the key now is that with the strength that Su Chen has shown, let alone the younger generation, these older generations are not necessarily Su Chen's opponents, and Su Chen's existence is insoluble for the second- and third-rate forces.
Therefore, after the matter of the Heavenly Master's Mansion spread in the metaphysical world, these second- and third-rate forces warned their disciples again, don't offend Su Chen if you offend anyone, if you really offend, then don't expect the family to help.
To put it bluntly, the second- and third-rate forces can't afford to offend Su Chen at all.
"Yes...... It's Su Gongzi. β
Xiao Yanghao stammered a little when he spoke, and a cold sweat came out of his face instantly, he never thought that he would be so unlucky, and as soon as he came, he met this existence who was currently rated as one of the most unprovoked by their families and sects.
Su Chen looked at Xiao Yanghao playfully, Xiao Yanghao is the twelve-grade realm, this realm can be regarded as the middle and upper in the metaphysical world, except for those one or two first-class forces in the entire Jiangxi Province, the Xiao family can indeed run rampant.
"Su Gongzi, my Xiao family is very familiar with Zhang Gongzi's side, I asked Zhang Gongzi to contact Su Gongzi. β
At this time, Xiao Yanghao didn't want to deal with Zhao Quanyong, Su Chen would appear here, there must be a reason, whether it was because of Zhao Quanyong or other reasons, but Su Chen's people already represented everything here.
Xiao Yanghao is now thinking about how to retreat with his whole body and make a move on Zhao Quanyong, this matter can be big or small, and it is indeed a violation to make it bigger, but if it is small, it will not be a big deal.
This is the same as the world, I am not afraid that the above will know, but I am afraid that the above will become serious, and once it is more serious, no one will be able to run away.
If Su Chen held on to it, it would indeed be possible to punish them.
"I don't recognize Zhang Gongzi, since he made a mistake within my jurisdiction, I went to the Dao Alliance to receive the punishment. β
Su Chen didn't care about Xiao Yanghao's words, he also knew that the Dao Alliance currently had eight unicorns, each from different provinces, but he didn't have any intersection with these unicorns, and he didn't plan to have any intersections.
"Su Gongzi ......"
Xiao Yanghao still wanted to plead, but Su Chen's eyes swept over, and he shut up.
"Su Gongzi, don't worry, I will go to the Dao Alliance tomorrow to confess. β
After saying this, Xiao Yanghao clasped his fists towards Su Chen and saluted and was about to leave, but Su Chen called out to him.
"Let's talk about it, what's going on with Zhao Quanyong's wife?"
Hearing Su Chen's question, Xiao Yanghao didn't hide it, and said directly: "Master Su, Zhao Quanyong's wife turned out to be the fiancΓ©e of the young patriarch of my Xiao family, and there was a marriage between my Xiao family and the Li family at the beginning, but Li Wan suddenly fled half a year before the marriage contract, and my Xiao family almost became a joke in the metaphysical world of Lu Province." β
Xiao Yanghao said this to tell Su Chen that their Xiao family was also a victim, but what disappointed him was that he didn't see a trace of sympathy or understanding on Su Chen's face.
"Go on. β
Su Chen looked at Xiao Yanghao, he naturally knew the purpose of Xiao Yanghao's words, but he knew even more that the truth of the matter could not be so simple.
In addition to those family marriages in the metaphysical world, there is also a kind of marriage between low-level families and high-level families, which is called climbing, and low-level families can enjoy the protection of high-level families.
Of course, there are many times when those high-level families fall in love with girls from low-level families, and low-level families naturally have no room for resistance, but can only sacrifice the happiness of the women in the clan.
The Xiao family and the Li family, in Su Chen's opinion, this is the case.
The reason is very simple, Li Wan's family first looked for Li Wan, if the strength of the Li family is the same as that of the Xiao family, then after Li Wan has married and given birth to children, the Li family can only give up the marriage with the Xiao family, after all, Li Wan is also a member of the Li family.
Li Wan's eldest brother came and went, and did not take Li Wan away, which shows that the Li family did give up, but the Xiao family came and directly took Li Wan away, and gave Zhao Quanyong this kind of poisonous hand, then there is only one possibility, that is, the strength of the Li family is like the Xiao family.
The Xiao family made a move against Li Wan and Zhao Quanyong, and the Li family did not dare to resist.
"Li Wan is the biological daughter of the head of the Li family, and we didn't embarrass her after we took her away, but just sent her back to the Li family, but the Li family promised us that Li Wan would never take half a step out of the Li family for the rest of her life. β
Xiao Yanghao said it very tactfully, but Su Chen heard that the Xiao family was humiliating the Li family.
The daughter of the dignified patriarch wants to be imprisoned in her own home, which is the biggest humiliation to the Li family, but as long as the Li family has the strength to resist, they will not agree to such a request.
"The matter of the Li family is over, I don't want to hear anything else about this matter. β
Su Chen said lightly, Xiao Yanghao nodded busily, what are you kidding, where does he dare to find out about the Li family's affairs now, he just wants to understand this matter as soon as possible.
"Alright, you can go. β
Su Chen waved his hand, Xiao Yanghao hurriedly left with his clansmen as if he had been amnestied, as for the middle-aged man who was slapped away by Su Chen, Xiao Yanghao didn't even dare to wake him up, and called the two juniors to carry each other, and left in a hurry.
"Alright, you can come out. β
Xiao Yanghao left, Su Chen said a word towards the wing, and after a while, the door of the wingroom opened, and Zhao Quanyong had an excited expression, because he had also heard the conversation between Su Chen and Xiao Yanghao just now.
Thinking that she could see her wife and see her Wan'er, how could Zhao Quanyong not be excited, Zhao Yiyi was the same, before knowing the truth, she was indeed full of resentment towards her mother, but after knowing the truth, she knew that her mother did not deliberately abandon her, she had no resentment towards her mother, and she was just longing, eager to see her mother.
"Mr. Su, thank you, thank you so much, you are the great benefactor of our family, thank you for saving my wife. β
Zhao Quanyong was about to kneel, but after he bent his knees halfway down, he found that he couldn't bend anymore, as if an invisible force was supporting him under his knees.
Zhao Yiyi heard her father's words, and looked at Su Chen's eyes were also full of gratitude, Mr. Su not only saved his mother, but even he was rescued by Mr. Su, if it weren't for Mr. Su, I am afraid that he would have fallen into the fire pit now.
"You don't have to thank me, Uncle Seventh is kind to our family, and I can be regarded as repaying the kindness. β
Su Chen smiled, if it weren't for the Seventh Uncle, he wouldn't know about it, and he wouldn't have interfered, so to a certain extent, Zhao Quanyong had to thank the Seventh Uncle.
"Uncle Seven is our benefactor, and so are you. β
"If you really want to thank me, take good care of Uncle Seven for me. β
"Mr. Su, don't worry, when Wan'er comes back, Wan'er and I will support Uncle Seven and Aunt Qi as our parents, and we must let Uncle Seven and Aunt Qi live a long life. β
Hearing Zhao Quanyong's words of gratitude from the bottom of his heart, Su Chen sighed in his heart, judging from his face from the seventh uncle, the remaining time of the seventh uncle and the seventh uncle would not exceed a month.
The more neatly he solves the affairs of the Zhao family, the faster the seventh uncle will leave.
......
Heze, Li family!
"Xiaowan, don't sleep yet!"
Late at night, in the courtyard of the Li family, a middle-aged woman stood in the courtyard and looked at the bright moon in the sky, which made a middle-aged man who walked in later have a painful look on his face.
"Big brother, why are you here?"
When Li Wan saw her eldest brother, her gaze was withdrawn from the sky, and the sadness on her face disappeared, replaced by a smile.
"I'm here to see you. β
"Big brother, today is a good day for you to take over the position of our father's patriarch, there are so many guests outside, what are you doing to see me, hurry up and go out to accompany the guests." β
Li Wan smelled the smell of wine on her eldest brother, it seemed that her eldest brother drank a lot of wine when he was out with the guests, but at this point, those guests have not dispersed, how could his eldest brother come here?
"Wan'er, you also know that today is a good day for the eldest brother, so why don't you respect the eldest brother for a glass of wine, are you dissatisfied with the eldest brother?"
Listening to her eldest brother's complaining words, Li Wan's heart trembled, the eldest brother is very good to herself, and she has loved herself very much since she was a child, because her father is the patriarch, and she has to think about things from the perspective of the whole family, so her father has always played a strict role, and she is closer to her eldest brother than her father in her heart.
"Okay, then I will toast the eldest brother with tea instead of wine, congratulate the eldest brother on taking the position of patriarch, and also congratulate our Li family on becoming more and more brilliant under the leadership of the eldest brother. β
"What's the point of replacing wine with tea, come with me to the front hall to drink. β
Li Wan looked at the wrist held by her eldest brother, her expression darkened, and she hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't forget my father's punishment for me, I am not allowed to step out of this courtyard." β
"Father has retired now, I am now the patriarch of our Li family, I let you go out, you can go out. β
"Big brother, don't make trouble, you know, I can't get out, if I go out, the Xiao family will attack our family. β
Li He, who was holding his sister's hand, heard his sister's words, the green tendons in his hand rose, and he let go of his hand weakly after half a ring.
The Xiao family, that is a big stone in the hearts of everyone in the Li family.
His sister was punished by her father and was not allowed to step out of this courtyard, this was not her father's will, this was the Xiao family's request to the Li family.
How many times have I seen my father standing silently outside my sister's yard alone, my father was afraid that my sister would resent him, and he also felt that he had no face to face his sister, and the dignified Li family couldn't even protect a woman.
For Li He, when his sister ran away from marriage, he actually agreed in his heart, the young patriarch of the Xiao family was a round older than his sister, not to mention, he was a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, relying on the resources of the Xiao family, it was only a ten-grade realm now.
How could such a person be worthy of his sister, but the young patriarch of the Xiao family fell in love with his sister, and the Xiao family sent an elder to propose marriage, and his father couldn't refuse at all, because the consequences of refusal were not something their Li family could bear.
Therefore, after his sister escaped, the Xiao family was furious, and his father also asked him to find his sister, but he didn't really bother to find it at all, he just made a way to deal with the Xiao family.
In fact, as early as when his sister married the man and left a little niece, he already knew his sister's whereabouts, and even secretly helped his sister hide her tracks, so as not to be discovered by the Xiao family.
It wasn't until later that he found out that the Xiao family seemed to have found out the whereabouts of his sister, so he went to find his sister and wanted to bring his sister and little niece back, and his sister agreed, but in the end it was a change of heart.
Li He knew what the reason for his sister's change of hexagram was, because he didn't want to be separated from the man, and would rather face the Xiao family together, which made him very angry, of course, he was not angry with his sister, but angry with Zhao Quanyong.
If it weren't for Zhao Quanyong, his sister and niece would go back to the Li family together, no matter how difficult it was for the Xiao family, he could at least raise his niece and grow up, and his sister wouldn't have to suffer from this miss every day.
Later, his sister was brought back by the Xiao family, although he wanted to see his niece several times, but in the end he was stopped by his father, in his father's words, the Li family did not interfere, then Zhao Quanyong and his niece still have the possibility of living, if the Li family intervened, then Zhao Quanyong and his niece would never live.
So over the years, even if his sister begged hard, he couldn't bear not to inquire about his niece.
"Patriarch, the Xiao family is here. β
Just when Li He and Li Wan's brother and sister fell silent at the same time, a voice came from outside the courtyard, and when they heard the words of the clansmen, Li He's body shook.
"Big brother, go ahead, you are the new patriarch, you can't lose the prestige of our Li family. β
Li Wan walked up to Li He, straightened Li He's collar, and showed an encouraging smile on his face, Li He was silent for a moment, and said after half a sound: "Xiaowan, I will definitely let you out of this courtyard, I swear!"
"Why is the eldest brother still the same as a child, swear at every turn, of course I believe what you say, eldest brother. β
Li Wan stopped Li He's right hand that was about to raise up and swear, Li He didn't speak again, took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The hall in the front yard of the Li family was full of guests and friends at the moment, but the originally noisy hall became silent because of the arrival of a group of people, and many people stood up from the table and looked at the few people who appeared in the hall with respectful eyes.
The Li family is a third-rate force, this time the new patriarch was elected, and the people who came to the banquet were all people from the third-rate forces of this province and some other provinces, and there was no representative of the first-rate forces, as for the second-rate forces of the province, they sent representatives to express themselves, but these people sat for a while and left.
In the metaphysical world, the hierarchy is so strict.
And now the one who appeared at the door was the Xiao family, the only second-rate force in Heze, and these people present naturally had to stand up, and they were even afraid that they would stand up slowly, and the Xiao family would think that they didn't take the Xiao family seriously.
"Why didn't Elder Xiao Xuan say hello in advance when he came, Li Mou, I also came to the door to greet him. β
When the Xiao family stepped into the hall, Li He also walked out of the backyard, his face was no longer depressed, replaced by a smile like a spring breeze.
"Patriarch Li, where is this, the new patriarch of the Li family has taken office, and our Xiao family naturally wants to come to congratulate, this is a congratulatory gift that my Xiao family patriarch asked me to forward. β
Xiao Xuan waved his hand, and the disciples of the Xiao family behind him came out with gift boxes one by one, these gift boxes were all made of jade, and the preciousness of the things inside, although the people present did not see it, they could guess one or two points.
This scene shocked the people present, according to the news they got, the younger sister of the new patriarch of the Li family, the young patriarch of the Xiao family who escaped from marriage back then, the Xiao family was very dissatisfied with the Li family, and they have also secretly suppressed the Li family over the years, why did they send so many congratulatory gifts to the Li family this time?
Li He looked at these dozens of gift boxes, he still had a smile on his face, but he was also a little surprised in his heart, the Xiao family's suppression of the Li family over the years has become more and more obvious, and almost all the major sects and forces in the metaphysical world in this province can feel it, and even many third-rate forces are also taking advantage of the fire to rob.
At this time, how could the Xiao family come to the door, and make such a show, is there any conspiracy?
Thinking of this, Li He became vigilant in his heart, the Xiao family made such a come, just like a weasel greeting a chicken for the New Year, it must be unkind.
"Elder Xiao Xuan, this is too precious, our Li family deserves it. β
"Patriarch Li, our Xiao family and the Li family are both old forces in this city, inherited for hundreds of years, and the two families have always been friendly, this little bit of heart is nothing. β
Xiao Xuan's words not only did not make Li He relax his vigilance, but they made Li He more cautious, and his eyes even signaled to the Li family disciples present, asking everyone to be careful, so as not to be mad by the Xiao family.
"Elder Xiao Xuan, please take a seat. β
"Patriarch Li before. β
Li He wanted the Xiao family to go first, but Xiao Xuan refused, and only refused to follow behind Li He, which made the people at the scene even more puzzled, the Xiao family and the Li family are both century-old inheritances, which is good, but the relationship between the two families is not as good as Elder Xiao Xuan said.
In addition, although the Li family is the main family here, Elder Xiao Xuan, as the elder of the Xiao family, has no problem walking in front, and the metaphysical world relies on strength to speak.
"How do I feel that this elder of the Xiao family seems to have come to curry favor with the Li family. β
"You must feel it, how is this possible, what kind of strength is the Xiao family, what kind of strength is the Li family, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Xiao family, Elder Xiao Xuan, can destroy the Li family alone. β
"That's right, I must have felt wrong, how could the Xiao family please the Li family. β
No matter what these guests thought at the moment, looking at Li He beside him, Xiao Xuan sighed in his heart, this time he really came to curry favor with the Li family on behalf of the Xiao family.
The third brother has already sent the news back, and the Li family now has the support of the one from Gan Province behind them, although their Xiao family is in Lu Province, but I am afraid that the other party will come to the door in order to stand up for the Li family.
He is here to curry favor with the Li family, at least to make the Li family's resentment against their Xiao family not so big, and the patriarch is also in contact with Zhang Gongzi at the moment, hoping that Zhang Gongzi can come forward to help mediate, you must know that the third brother is still in Jiangxi Province.
"Elder Xiao Xuan, please take a seat. β
"Patriarch Li, this is the main seat, how can I, a guest, take the lead, just sit here. β
Li He invited Xiao Xuan into the main seat, but Xiao Xuan said that he would not do anything, and in the end Li He had to give up and sit down on the main seat, anyway, he had been invited, and there were so many guests to testify, the Xiao family could not say that the Li family had neglected them, so they found an excuse to attack the Li family.
"Master, I don't think the Xiao family is here to support the Li family this time, after all, the Xiao family has suppressed the Li family for so many years, and the biggest possibility is that the Xiao family is brewing another opportunity, I think we can create this opportunity for the Xiao family. β
At a table a little away from the main table, a young man whispered to the old man beside him, who looked at the main table with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Master, wealth and wealth are in danger, if we bet right, then our sect will definitely soar to the sky under the protection of the Xiao family. β
"Are you sure?"
"The disciple is not completely sure, but there are ninety percent, and what the Xiao family does to the Li family on weekdays is obvious to all. β
"Okay, then let's take a gamble. β
The old man said to his apprentice that he was tempted, and finally his face showed a decisive look.
