Chapter 40: Conspiracy
At this time, when the Sima family held a funeral, Nangu came to the Hong family.
"What are you doing here?" Hong Xin came all the way over, and when he saw Nan Gu coming single-handedly, his heart was also tight.
"It's not a big deal, I'm just here to tell you, you'd better not think about the crooked idea of the Sima family, otherwise you won't be able to bear the wrath of the City Lord's Mansion!" Nan Gu's face was expressionless, more like a warning.
Hong Xin frowned, he couldn't understand why, he was doing well in the Hong family, building a family with the clansmen, why was he suddenly warned by the city lord?
"I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"I've already brought the words, you think about it yourself, and say goodbye!" After speaking, Nangu waved his sleeves and left like stepping on the breeze, leaving Hongxin like a monk in the wind. However, after carefully pondering this sentence, it seemed that he also understood some meaning, and without further study, he continued to do the work in hand.
......
"Lord An, we have found out, your eldest disciple Qi Erxiu did die at the hands of Nangu, this is his remains, I hope you will mourn ......" The one who spoke was a demon with a wolf's head and a tiger's skin, and he summoned two demons to carry the body of his tiger-headed demon in.
The corpse of the tiger-headed demon had already decomposed on a large scale, and a foul smell emanated from it, which immediately filled the entire village! Several demons with low strength felt dizzy in their brains, and they all hurriedly ran out to take a breath.
Even though his head is gone, the short steel knife is a gift from Andrew to the tiger-headed demon, how can he not recognize it.
"It's buried!" Andrew raised the snake's head, looked at the ceiling, and pulled down a black vertical pupil between a pair of bloody eyes, looking resentful and vicious......
Following Andrew's words, the werewolf ordered several demons to bury Zilxiu in the earth, and when the line was over, a deer man with the head of a deer removed the stench from the stockade. There are a total of one hundred and twelve demons in the village, and among these demons, there are many strong enough to be as strong as Nangu, and Andrew is one of them.
"Peart, when are they going to come back?" Andrew asked the wolf-headed demon.
"Mistress Bissi, Mistress Sonya, and Mistress Belmore will be back here in a week, but we don't have much information right now, and if we act rashly, it may not please the superiors......," Piert said, bowing down. He was the only one in the whole village who could clearly know the progress of the other adults in completing the task.
"Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, intelligence is this thing, I naturally planted my eyeliner in Ice Heart City, and it is estimated that there will be results in the next two days. As he spoke, a crow flew into the stockade and landed on Andrew's paws. The four eyes looked at each other. After a long time, Andrew suddenly closed the snake's pupils, and the crow fell to the ground for no reason, and died!
"Greed and lust are our sharpest weapons! Those stupid humans seek a sense of insignificance in the tireless struggle! Now that the vitality of Ice Heart City has been damaged, when those guys come back, they will officially attack the city!Nangu, Nangu, your time of death has finally arrived!" Andrew laughed, and those vertical pupils seemed to become thinner, looking more sinister and vicious......
......
Zheng Yu has been fidgeting for the past few days, not thinking about tea and dinner, and has been thinking about Sima Feixuan and Hong Mingtian, and has been begging the two families in his heart not to suffer major damage. But where can the ending of the battle between the two families be hidden? Soon it spread throughout Bingxin City, and the news that the City Lord's Mansion had intervened to help the Sima family also reached the ears of Zheng Haiwei and the others, but this wishful thinking was in vain.
Zheng Fang has almost lost a lot of weight these days, although his strength has increased to more than 2,000 levels of a heavy mountain force, but after all, the whole person is still sluggish, and his spirit is low......
"Jia'er, let's go with my father to see the patriarch and his old man's house! By the way, I can report the matter of the elders buying the resources of the Hong family privately. Zheng Jiliao put his hand on Zheng Yao's shoulder, looking at his son's appearance, it really made his father's heart ache, and he didn't know how to comfort his son, so he had to let him temporarily shift his attention elsewhere.
With a low hum in his throat, Zheng Flail followed Zheng Jiao Liao in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. In less than an hour, the big one appeared at the gate of the city lord's mansion with the small one, and then Zheng Fang found that the vitality in the dantian was actually impetuous, as if it was flashy.
"No, you can't go on like this anymore! If you continue like this, how can you resist the invasion of the demon clan in a few years?" Thinking of this, Zheng Yu shook his head vigorously. The steward led the two to the medicine hall, and in a separate small room at the back of the medicine hall, a slender old man sat quietly on the bed, meditating and cultivating calmly.
Hearing a few footsteps outside the door, the old man regained his thoughts. I heard a soft knock at the door, and a voice shouted softly: "Patriarch, Ji Liao has come to visit your old man! If it is convenient, open the door?"
I saw Zheng Yingming's fingers flick, and the door creaked open. Seeing Zheng Jiliao's father and son entering, he left evasively when he traveled south.
Zheng Yingming narrowed a pair of old eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that the patriarch has been injured recently, and I, as a junior, really can't rest assured, so I came to visit you today. As he spoke, Zheng Jiliao put some of the tonic medicines he brought on Zheng Yingming's bedside table. As a junior, these are all as they should be, understand a little sophistication, and do things in the future.
Although it was such an intentional or unintentional action, Zheng Yingming was greatly puzzled, because an inexplicable majesty could be felt emanating from Zheng Yingliao's body, so he reacted in surprise and asked, "Ji Liao, ...... You're back?"
Hearing this, Zheng Jiliao was stunned. I'm back? What am I coming back to? Haven't I been in Ice Heart City all along? Puzzled in his heart, Zheng Yingming said again:
"Are you back in strength!"
Hearing this, Zheng Jiliao suddenly realized. It turns out that the meaning of my return is not that I am back, but that my strength is back. Zheng Yingming was so excited that he was about to jump up, now that Zheng Jiliao has recovered his strength, everything will be easy!
Zheng Jiliao didn't want to have anything to do with the high-level of the family anymore, so he kept hiding his aura, and he might not be able to detect his strength among people of the same level, but in front of Zheng Yingming, who was stronger than him, he couldn't hide it at all.
"Come, tell me, how did you recover your strength?" Zheng Yingming's face was full of excitement. He knew that the Great Elder Zheng Haiwei wanted to dominate Ice Heart City, and after Zheng Jiliao's strength recovered, the patriarch would not necessarily belong to Zheng Haiwei, provided that Zheng Jiliao could win him.
Zheng Jiliao's face was embarrassed, he didn't want his son to reveal his identity too early, after all, he was still only a mountain of strength, and before he had the ability to protect himself, he didn't want to see Zheng Fang too swaggering! Otherwise, he would inevitably repeat his own mistakes back then! But Zheng Yingming looked at him and thought that there must be a reason.
"Why are you such a mother-in-law and mother for a big man?" was scolded by the patriarch like this, Zheng Jiliao had no choice but to explain the truth......
"Yes...... It's Jia'er, he's an alchemist, and it's the pill he refined that repaired my broken dantian......" As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yingming grew his mouth, and looked at the young man in front of him with upright facial features but a little haggard, his heart was about to hit out of his chest, and the ecstasy in his heart couldn't be covered at all!
If the patriarch was too excited at this time to attract the attention of others, then Zheng Yu's identity as an alchemist would definitely not be able to contain the fire! In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Zheng Yuliao had to change the topic: "That...... Patriarch, there is one thing I have to report to you, have you ever heard of the fact that the three elders bought the Hong family's assets without permission two days ago?"
Hearing this, the excitement on Zheng Yingming's face gradually solidified, and was replaced by incredulity and shock. During the period of his recuperation and cultivation, he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he had only heard of the major event that shocked the entire Ice Heart City, but he didn't expect to buy the Hong family's assets.
Calming down from the incredulity, Zheng Yingming immediately thought about it.
Why did the Great Elder choose this time to buy the resources of the Hong family to expand his power? What does it mean that he is arrogant? Does he want to make a profit? After thinking about it for a long time, he has no clue at all, after all, he has no idea what happened in the outside world during this time, and if he wants to understand, someone must tell him everything that happened!
And Zheng Jiliao and Zheng Flai, obviously not the witnesses of this incident, it is impossible to explain the ins and outs of the matter, but it happened that at this moment, Nan Gu took Elder Sima to push the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "How is Patriarch Zheng's cultivation today?"
In fact, Zheng Yingming's injury had already recovered before Hong Xin left the customs, and the reason why he didn't know anything about the outside world during this time was because he touched the bottleneck of breakthrough during the recuperation period and devoted himself to cultivation!
"It's okay! It has officially entered the Weilan level, as long as the vitality in the body is stabilized, it will be considered a great success!" Zheng Yingming said his strength, and the expressions of the four people on the field were different.
Nan Gu smiled lightly, as if this was a very ordinary thing; Zheng Yu didn't have any expression, as if he hadn't heard this; Zheng Yuliao's eyes widened, and then the corners of his mouth were raised knowingly; Grand Elder Sima also widened his eyes, and he looked even more in awe of Zheng Yingming......
"By the way, City Lord, during this time, the major events that have happened in Ice Heart City, can you tell me in detail?" Zheng Yingming asked what he was most concerned about. And Nangu tilted his head, although he was involved in the dispute between the two families, he didn't know what happened between them. With a puzzled gaze, he looked at Grand Elder Sima next to him.
Grand Elder Sima reacted at this time, and immediately said: "I am a witness to the whole thing, let me explain the ins and outs of this matter!" Nan Gu ordered someone to bring tea, and the five of them sat down, and Grand Elder Sima told this and this and this, but did not mention that Zheng Haiwei bought the Hong family's assets!
Combined with this information, the three old men finally put things together completely. After knowing it clearly, Zheng Yingming slapped his thigh, and his face was so angry that he wanted to calcine iron!
"This Zheng Haiwei, when I don't exist! I'll go back and cure him for the crime of flouting the clan rules!" shouted that Zheng Yingming was about to leave angrily, but was caught by Nangu......
"Forget it, the matter has happened, the title deed has been signed, no matter which party repents, they will have to pay three times the compensation for liquidated damages......! Hongxin is a little swollen now, this little thing can be regarded as his apology!"
Nan Gu knew that Zheng Yingming's resolute and resolute behavior was a household name in the entire Ice Heart City, but he would do whatever was right, and he would never drag his feet in the mud.
