Chapter 35: Four Years Ago
"Young Master Luo!"
"Brother Luo!"
After seeing the person coming clearly, Gu Qianlan and Gu Chen shouted almost in unison.
Gu Chen ran up excitedly, grabbed the arm of the burly young man with both hands, and asked with a look of adoration: "Brother Luo, aren't those people in your ring your enemies in the same group?"
The burly young man gently tugged at Gu Chen's pigtails, and then said with a sneezing face: "Of course, who am you Brother Luo, who can I fly with a sneeze!"
Then he looked at Han Feng with blazing eyes and asked, "This is..."
Without waiting for Han Feng to speak, Gu Qianlan took the lead in making an introduction.
"Luo Gongzi, this is Han Feng Han Gongzi, and he is also one of the top 16 in this election. ”
His hand pointed to Gong Wenhua again.
"As for this, it is Gong Wenhua, the leader of our Thousand Lan City Refiner Guild, Master Gong, a well-known third-order refiner. ”
Then he pointed to the burly young man, looked at Han Feng and said, "This is Luo Hua, Luo Gongzi, my savior." ”
Hearing Gu Qianlan's introduction, Han Feng and Gong Lao's eyebrows raised at the same time.
However, Luo Hua put his arm around the former's shoulders and said with a big grin: "Hey, Uncle Lan, what can't you save your life, you just don't treat me as your own when you say that." ”
Gu Qianlan didn't care about the other party's behavior, and said with a laugh: "Haha, yes, yes, it's Uncle Lan who has seen the outside." ”
"Hey, hey!"
Then Luo Hua looked at Han Feng again and said, "Boy, the strength is not simple!"
"You're not bad. Han Feng smiled faintly and replied.
He always felt that the other party's voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.
"This bullshit election is very boring, it's all a bunch of weak chickens, I was going to retire, but after seeing you, I'm looking forward to fighting you. ”
"I feel the same way. ”
Han Feng is also looking forward to the battle with the other party, because this is the only person who has made him faintly unable to see through his strength since the beginning of the election.
However, Gu Qianlan's eyes shrank sharply, Luo Hua's strength was very clear to him, a powerhouse at the peak of the Yuan Soul Realm, but Han Feng's cultivation could see that he was only at the first order of the Yuan Soul Realm.
But Luo Hua now said that he was looking forward to fighting with Han Feng, could it be that Han Feng hid his cultivation?
......
The Lord's Mansion of Chiarashi City, the meeting room.
At this time, a large round table was placed in the middle of the living room, and the table was full of sumptuous dishes, and there were maids at the door who were constantly adding dishes in and out.
There were six people sitting around the table, namely: Gu Qianlan, Gu Chen, Luo Hua, Han Feng, Han Xue, Gong Wenhua and Chen Tian.
After Gu Qianlan invited Han Feng and Gong Lao to the City Lord's Mansion for dinner in the center ring before, Han Feng went back first and brought Han Xue and Chen Tian over, there was a free lunch to eat, how could he forget them.
As the last dish was served, Gu Qianlan laughed, then stood up with a glass of wine, and said, "Hahaha, the four of you can come here today, it really makes the humble house shine, and it is respectful to do it first." ”
Then he didn't drag the mud and water, but raised his head and drank the wine.
Han Feng, Gong Lao, and Chen Tian also stood up with their wine glasses at this moment, and returned to Gu Qianlan.
As for Han Xue, she didn't know how to drink anyway, so she simply didn't stand up, sitting in her seat, her two big eyes stared at the sumptuous meal on the table, her little throat rolled secretly, and she swallowed her saliva.
She stretched out her jade hand and pulled the corner of Han Feng's clothes, and then asked softly, "Brother Han Feng, when will I be able to move my chopsticks?"
Although she had tried her best to speak in her voice, who was not a martial artist of the Yuan Soul Realm who was present?
Naturally, everyone heard it clearly, and they laughed out loud, and they all liked this lovely little girl very much.
Gu Qianlan was the first to speak: "Hahaha, Xue'er, don't be restrained, in Uncle Lan's house, you will treat it as if you were in your own home, let go of eating." ”
"Yes, yes, Sister Xue'er, what do you want to eat, just say, Brother Chen will clip it for you. ”
Gu Chen also picked up the chopsticks at this time, looked at Han Xue and said.
However, Han Xue didn't even look at him, and said sweetly to Gu Qianlan, "Thank you, Uncle Lan." ”
Then he picked up a piece of meat and feasted on it.
Gu Chen took back his chopsticks awkwardly and smiled.
Han Feng, on the other hand, watched Xue'er eat meat, stretched out his index finger and scratched the latter's little face, and smiled dotingly.
Gong Lao smiled and withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Gu Qianlan and said, "City Lord Gu, why don't you see Ling Nei?"
Han Feng and the others also looked at Gu Qianlan at this time, and they were also curious about why the city lord's wife was not there.
Gu Qianlan's face froze, and then she glanced at Gu Chen, and saw that the latter was about to put a piece of meat in his mouth, but he stopped in mid-air.
"I'm full. ”
I saw Gu Chen's face darkened, and he slapped the chopsticks on the table with a 'snap', and then stood up violently, kicked away the chair and left.
Gu Qianlan looked at Gu Chen's attitude and wanted to be angry, but she couldn't get angry, a trace of guilt flashed on her face, and then she sighed.
"Old Gong, let me tell you. ”
Luo Hua saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he didn't go up to chase after Gu Chen, and took the initiative to speak.
It turned out that four years ago, on the centenary of the birth of the emperor of the Tianxing Kingdom, the world was invited to attend the birthday banquet, and Gu Qianlan also received an invitation that year, and took his wife Gongsun Lian to the imperial city together.
However, it was originally smooth sailing and safe along the way, but on the way back, he was attacked by a wave of mysterious men in black.
Gu Qianlan and the two resisted desperately, but their strength was still weak, and finally at the critical moment, Luo Hua happened to rescue the two.
However, Luo Hua at that time only had the fourfold cultivation of the Yuan Soul Realm, and did not leave those black-clothed people.
When she came back to her senses, Gu Qianlan found that Gongsun Lian had passed out, and the latter's back had been hit by an enemy's palm print, and there was a faint burst of evil aura on the palm print.
Neither of them could see what these evil qi were at that time, and finally took Gongsun Lian back to Qianlan City first to make plans.
And Luo Hua is from all over the world anyway, so he came to Qianlan City with Gu Qianlan and them to help investigate this evil spirit together.
"That Lingnei..."Gong Lao asked hesitantly.
Of course, Gu Qianlan understood what Gong Lao meant, adjusted her emotions and said, "Master Gong, don't worry, the life of the inner person is not in serious trouble for the time being, but he has been unconscious for the past four years. ”
"I searched all over the pharmacist, and even went to the imperial city to seek medical treatment, but to no avail, and my wife's breath has become weaker and weaker in recent months, I am worried..."
Speaking of this, Gu Qianlan's voice was already a little choked.
"It's all because I didn't protect my inside-in-law back then, and Chen'er should have a problem with me in her heart. Gu Qianlan sighed.
However, after listening to their conversation, Han Feng and Chen Tian glanced at each other, and they both understood the guess in each other's hearts.
"Uncle Lan, that's why you didn't move Xie Yu, right?" Han Feng looked at Gu Qianlan and asked.
He had always wondered before, Gu Qianlan was close to the people, and everyone in Qianlan City knew it, how could he indulge such a madman as Xie Yu to innocently kill the people back then.
Gu Qianlan glanced at Han Feng unexpectedly, and then said: "That's right, I have been investigating that evil spirit since the incident, and it wasn't until the kid from the Xie family was born that I had some eyebrows." ”
"Xie Yu was born arrogantly, domineering, and killing people at every turn, I originally planned to order Xie Yu to be arrested, but later I found that the aura exuded from his body was extremely similar to the evil qi on his insider. ”
"At that time, I still wondered if the Xie family sent someone to sneak attack us back then and covet the position of the city lord, but then I thought about it, how could a small Xie family have such a strange technique, and there are so many Yuan Soul Realm triple powerhouses, so I doubt..."
"You suspect that there is someone else behind Xie Yu. Han Feng picked up Gu Qianlan's words.
"That's right, in order not to alarm the people behind him, I kept turning a blind eye to what Xie Yu did at that time, and only issued a compassionate payment to the family of the deceased. ”
"And three years ago, it was because I reminded the tutor of the Heavenly Star Academy that he would carefully investigate Xie Yu, otherwise he might really be fooled by him. ”
Then, Gu Qianlan's eyes flashed again, and she looked at Han Feng suspiciously and asked, "Young Master Han, how do you know this?"
These things were all secretly investigated, only he and Luo Hua knew, and even his son Gu Chen didn't know.
"Not only do I know this, but I also know who the person behind Xie Yu is. Han Feng said lightly.
"Who?!"
Gu Qianlan stood up suddenly, then realized that she had lost her temper, looked at Han Feng apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Master Han, I was too excited just now, and I was a little rude, and I hope that Master Han will tell the person behind Xie Yu." ”
He and Luo Hua have been investigating this matter for a long time, but they have not found out the clue, and now they are about to learn the truth, how can they not be excited?
"It doesn't matter. Han Feng waved his hand to show understanding, and then slowly said two words: "Cao Qin." ”
"What?!, the mother of the Yao family, Cao Qin, Yao Hong's wife?"
"That's right. ”
"But Yao Hong himself is only a twofold cultivator of the Yuan Soul Realm, how did they mobilize so many martial artists of the Yuan Soul Realm Triple Realm?" Gu Qianlan asked suspiciously.
"It has nothing to do with Yao Hong, he is just a pawn of Cao Qin, and the latter's cultivation is the sevenfold Yuan Soul Realm. ”
Subsequently, Han Feng roughly told the former what had happened before, but omitted the matter of the Tiansha Palace, saying that it was a mysterious force of unknown origin.
After all, the Heavenly Demon Palace was a first-class force in the Divine Realm, and it was destroyed thousands of years ago, this kind of thing was really unbelievable from the mouth of a fifteen-year-old boy in Han Feng, and they wouldn't believe it.
However, after listening to Han Feng's words, Gong Lao and Gu Qianlan were shocked, they didn't expect that a sevenfold martial artist of the Yuan Soul Realm like Cao Qin would not be able to resist under the hands of the former.
As for Luo Hua on the side, he was staring at Han Feng with fiery eyes, and his whole body was full of fighting intent.
"Dare to ask where Ling Nei is now, can you take me to investigate one or two?" Han Feng continued to look at Gu Qianlan and said.
"Absolutely. Gu Qianlan agreed without thinking about it.
