The wind is howling, the snow is falling, and the sky is full of snowflakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Drive!"
A team of fiery red war horses opened the way, and the horse team behind the iron wooden carriage drove quickly on the gallop road, the horses' hooves clanged, resounding through the mountains and valleys, and for a long time, their destination appeared in the eyes of the first knight.
The wide mountain paths, the flourishing bamboo forests, and the majestic mountain fortress in the distance.
Here, it is the residence of the Hongcheng Jiang clan.
Soon, dozens of people got down from the war horses and carriages, led by the Mu Clan Elder of the Mu Clan, and behind him was the new controller of the Mu Clan's Villa, as for the previous Mu Xiong and the others, they had all been purged and recalled.
"Let's go, go and meet this youngest martial arts powerhouse in Jiangbei County!" Elder Mushan straightened up his cyan clothes and walked towards the Jiang Clan Villa in the distance.
The rest of the people also followed silently, and they came to make amends.
...
Night fell, on the bamboo mountain opposite the fortress of Jiang's Villa.
The snow is still falling, but it is quite far away from the mountain villa, and all the hustle and bustle is far away from here, so it seems very quiet in the bamboo forest.
In the darkness, a young man in white, holding a cyan war knife with his eyes closed, his posture was motionless, but there was an invisible power that made the falling snowflakes slowly rotate around him, and he couldn't get close to his body at all.
"Han'er!" a slightly old voice came from the bamboo forest mountain road in the distance.
Torch dance.
Hearing the movement, the young man in white opened his eyes slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in the darkness, it was Jiang Han.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see Lin Xi holding his sister and walking from the mountain road with his grandfather Jiang Yangshan, and behind them, there were also a few Zhuangzhong warriors holding torches.
"Bang!" shook his hand, and the sword sank into the ground.
"Grandpa, the light rain is coming. Jiang Han strode over and said with a smile: "Grandpa, come to me so late, what's the matter!"
More than two months have passed since the ancestor worship ceremony, Jiang Han built a bamboo building alone in the bamboo mountain opposite the villa, lived here, practiced here, except for Lin Xi, who would take his sister to see it twice a day, and the others were not seen for non-major matters.
Of course, Jiang Yangshan will come a few times occasionally.
"Someone from Mu's Villa is here today, and I just left, so I'll come to talk to you. Jiang Yangshan said with a smile: "You have always been here, except for Xiaoxi in the village, no one else can see you, even my old bones have to be brought over by her." ”
Jiang Han couldn't help laughing, he just didn't want to be disturbed by mundane things, and continued to ask, "Mu Clan? ”
After communicating with Yuanyu at the beginning, Jiang Han's heart had long since been placed in the Jiang Villa, and he had no intention of expanding the power of the villa.
Because Jiang Han knows that in this world, the innate powerhouses and sages are the real ultimate power, if he can step into the Tianyuan Realm, the Jiang family will naturally become the first family in the Hongcheng Realm and even the entire Jiangbei County, if he falls, if the Jiang family does not have enough strength but blindly expands, it may lead to a big disaster.
Therefore, unless something big happened, Jiang Han would not ask anything about anything in the villa.
However, even if Jiang Han never asked about the affairs of the family, the Jiang clan's power was constantly expanding because of him.
In the past two months, as his prestige spread, almost all the large and small forces in the entire Hongcheng City have sent people to visit, and even the three major families in Hongcheng have sent congratulatory gifts, the only thing that makes Jiang Han slightly worried is that the Mu clan still has no reaction.
But now, his heart is at ease.
"Look at it, this is a scroll they sent with the terms of reconciliation. Jiang Yangshan put away his smile and said quite solemnly: "Whether it is war or peace, the main thing is to listen to what you mean." ”
Jiang Han nodded, stretched out his hand to take the white paper scroll, and opened it to look at it.
Turning the pages and looking at it, Jiang Han's heart became more and more shocked, and after turning the last page, Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa, the Mu clan sent people to clean the Mu Clan's Villa, which killed more than 30 martial artists, and dismissed hundreds of martial artists, and even Mu Xiong, the martial sect, was punished. Jiang Han shook his head, feeling incredible.
Because of the support of the Mu clan, even if they fight with the Jiang clan, there are still more than 700 warriors left in the villa, and this time there are hundreds of people who have been convicted of being killed, and almost all of the people who have killed the Jiang clan have been convicted, which is simply incredible, because it will be very hurtful.
Helping the villa fight and killing the enemy, this is a credit, but in the end he was convicted for it, acting like this, who will dare to contribute to his Mu clan in the future?
"We have received news before that it is said that the entire interior of Mu's Villa has been cleaned. Jiang Yangshan said: "It is estimated that it is the power struggle within the Mu clan, which has affected the Mu Clan, and our affairs are just a starting point." ”
Jiang Han nodded, but he also felt a little incredible, and he didn't quite understand the approach of such a huge clan.
"They also gave 30,000 yuan of stone and a share of the Qingling stone vein as a gift fee, what do you think about this?" Jiang Yangshan asked.
"Grandpa, you decide, as long as he doesn't mess with us anymore, it doesn't matter. Jiang Han shook his head: "I don't want to care about these things." ”
Having said that, Jiang Han was vigilant in his heart, he was so ruthless to his own people, and the possibility of the Mu family turning his face in the future was also very great, but he didn't care, it was nothing more than another kill.
Jiang Han knew that as long as his own strength was strong, it was unlikely that the Mu clan would turn his face, and if his own strength was weak, there would be no Mu Villa, and there would be other villas to make a move.
Weakness is not the original sin, but plunder is equally innocent, and that is the nature of the matter.
Jiang Yangshan listened to Jiang Han's words, and also nodded, the meaning of the discussion at the top of the villa was the same, after all, the Mu clan was huge, and it was difficult for the Jiang clan to collide with them head-on, if they could reconcile, of course, it would be the best.
Soon, Jiang Han talked to his sister for a while, and asked Lin Xi to take his sister, grandfather, and the guard warrior back to the villa.
In the entire bamboo forest, Jiang Han was left alone.
Seeing that the light of the torches in the distance was gradually fading, Jiang Han restrained his smile, closed his eyes again, reached out and grabbed the combat knife on the ground, and began to practice the "Bloody Knife Technique" again in the snowflakes.
"Although my father is dead, I have great strength, so all the forces in Hongcheng are still afraid of my Jiang clan, and even the northbound cottage is unwilling to charge more annual fees, and even the Mu clan would rather kill a group of branch disciples to calm my anger. ”
"It's all because of me, a twelve-year-old Martial Sect Consummation Level powerhouse!"
"However, my strength is far from enough, not enough!"
Jiang Han's eyes opened, and a cold glow like lightning flashed in his eyes.
The snowflakes that originally surrounded him and danced with the wind flew up at great speed, becoming gorgeous and colorful, with a different kind of beauty.
