Volume 1 Firefly Light Chapter 21 A sword retreats from the group
The air was suddenly cold, the murderous aura filled the four fields, everyone's hands were tightly pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the nerves were even more tense into a string.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Windfall Pavilion Killer, Chu Zhen's face instantly became very heavy.
When he borrowed rebirth and reached the Fan Yuan Nine Rank, he found that the power required to make the fireflies in his body full of luster had become very large, and the low-level Quenching Yuan Pill could no longer meet his needs, so Chu Zhen had not yet recovered the ability to be reborn, and the killer card of the Wind Fall Pavilion appeared at this point in time, which was almost a nirvana for Chu Zhen.
"Girl, their goal is us, you should leave quickly. ”
The strength of these Wind Fall Pavilion killers is above the Lingyuan Realm, not to mention the people at hand, even if they bring all the people from the Lu family, they are not enough for them to kill. So far, Chu Zhen can only hope that the innocent will not be implicated.
The girl in white faced the deadly killing machines around her, but she didn't think so, she smiled and said to Chu Zhen: "I didn't expect that you are quite responsible, since this is the case, Miss Ben will be kind and help you once." ”
"What a big breath, it looks like I'm going to take an extra life in the Wind Fall Pavilion. One of the most powerful killers said coldly.
"Stormfall Pavilion, I'm so scared!" The girl in white deliberately shook her shoulders twice, and then turned out to be the killer with the highest strength, and continued: "Who is that, believe it or not, you only need a sword to defeat me." ”
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned in shock, this girl was too arrogant.
Chu Zhen looked at the girl in white in shock, although he couldn't see through what realm this girl had reached, but looking at the breath, this girl's strength should be under that killer, and it was still difficult to win, let alone defeat the enemy with one sword.
"You are really ashamed to say that I took your life with a sword. ”
Being looked down upon like this, the killer was also angry, and with a wave of his sword, he took the girl in white.
Seeing this, Chu Zhen hurriedly reminded: "Be careful. ”
In the face of the sharp sword that was coming, the girl in white was not in a hurry, only to see her sword unsheathed, and a dragon-shaped sword shadow suddenly met the killer's sword.
"This trick is ......"
Staring at the dragon-shaped sword shadow, a trace of horror flashed in the killer's eyes, and the sword in his hand immediately deflected three points to the side.
The two swords met, and the girl in white was unharmed, but the killer was stabbed in the shoulder by a sword and was injured immediately.
Seeing such a result, everyone present could not hide their surprise in their hearts, their eyes widened, and some even opened their mouths wide.
Chu Zhen was surprised, but also had doubts about the identity of the girl in white. He could see clearly, the sword of the girl in white was very ordinary, and the killer could completely dodge, but he hit the tip of the sword, and Chu Zhen was very curious whether the killer didn't want to dodge, or didn't dare to dodge.
"Hurry back. ”
The wounded killer took a few steps back, then jumped onto the roof, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, the other killers also quickly left with him.
With just one sword, the girl in white shook back the seven killers of the Windfall Pavilion.
Chu Zhen stared at the girl in white with a relaxed face, was stunned for a moment, and finally said "Thank you". Although he was curious about the identity of the girl in white, everyone had secrets, and if the other party didn't want to tell it, he wouldn't ask.
The girl in white smiled playfully, replied "You're welcome", and then turned around and walked out of town.
As soon as she took two steps, the girl in white suddenly smiled back, and said loudly to Chu Zhen: "You have a good talent, you can come to Yunmen to find me when you become stronger in the future, remember, my name is Long Yixuan." ”
In a dimly lit, gloomy secret room, a man in his early twenties sat on a stone chair, gently turning the jade wrench on his right thumb, as if thinking about something.
In front of the man, an old man knelt on one knee respectfully, not daring to make a sound.
Although this man is not very old, his face is terrifyingly cold, and his cold eyes are also full of cold and piercing murderous intent. In the man, he always exudes a momentum of being in a high position for a long time and not allowing others to disobey, even if he is silent, he can still shock people's hearts.
In terms of strength alone, the old man who knelt on one knee was several realms higher than the mysterious man, but the old man knew very well that if the person in front of him wanted to kill him, he only needed one sentence, because he was the current pavilion master of the Wind Fall Pavilion.
"That's what this girl really said?"
After a long time, the mysterious man finally asked.
"Yes, Pavilion Master. The old man replied truthfully.
The mysterious man's left hand that turned the jade wrench stopped suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "The sub-altar of the four counties of Hexi has been ordered to return three times the honorarium, and this business will not be accepted by the Wind Fall Pavilion." ”
Hearing this, the old man hurriedly said: "Return the gratuity, cancel the business, it has never been done in the Stormfall Pavilion for hundreds of years, and the reputation of the Stormfall Pavilion can be ......."
"Huh?"
Before the old man finished speaking, the mysterious man suddenly let out a soft "um", and while raising his eyes, the air in the secret room suddenly became cold, which made the old man shiver.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately. ”
The old man didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly answered and respectfully exited the secret room.
After the old man left, the mysterious man turned his jade wrench finger and said to himself with a little confusion: "Chu Zhen?"
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since occupying the four towns of Yongsheng City, and during this time, the Lu family has completely blocked Yongsheng City, and no matter whether it is personnel or materials, they are not allowed to enter and exit Yongsheng City, turning this place into a lonely city.
After being trapped for half a month, the limited resources in Yongsheng City were quickly consumed, and at this time, the Xiong family began to plunder food and property in the city, making Yongsheng City chaotic, and the people complained.
Just when the situation became more and more favorable to the Lu family, the appearance of a person made it difficult for the Lu family.
This man was the envoy of the king of the county.
Wuyong County is only five cities, occupying two of them, and almost mastering half of Wuyong County. The king of the county did not want to see any family sit big and threaten his rule, so he sent an envoy to let the Lu family return to the area of Yonghe City.
The opportunity to destroy the Xiong family was finally obtained, and Lu Jiu was unwilling to give up, but the order of the county king had been given, and he did not dare to ignore it.
"Father, if the Xiong family is not removed, he will destroy my Lu family one day, the great time is ahead, we must not give up. ”
In the conference hall, Lu Jiu, Lu Zheng, and Chu Zhen were discussing the matter of the county king, Lu Jiu was a little hesitant, and Lu Zheng advocated that no matter what, the Xiong family must be destroyed.
In fact, Lu Jiu also knew that if he didn't destroy the Xiong family at this time, he would not let the Lu family go if the Xiong family recovered, but if the Lu family held the Xiong family, the county king would definitely send people to force the Lu family to return to Yonghe City. At that time, not only will the Xiong family not be destroyed, but the Lu family will also fall for openly disobeying the orders of the county king.
"Master, can you listen to me? ”
At this moment, Chu Zhen opened his mouth.
"Brother Chu has no opinion, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Chu Zhen asked, "If the Lu family wants to really become stronger and bigger, will they stick to this small Wuyong County?"
Chu Zhen's soft question made Lu Jiu's eyes light up. Whether it is to destroy the Xiong family or to put a bet on Chu Zhen, isn't what Lu Jiu wants to strengthen the Lu family? That being the case, the Lu family's eyes and footsteps cannot be limited to Yonghe City or even Wuyong County. And the conflict between the Lu family and the county king will happen sooner or later, so it is better to take advantage of the current time to increase his strength, so that the county king does not dare to move the Lu family easily.
"Brother Chu really woke up the dreamer with a word!"
Lu Jiu, who was suddenly opened, immediately made a decision, and before the king of the county reacted, he would destroy the Xiong family and take Yongsheng City.
Next, Chu Zhen and the three began to discuss the plan to destroy the Xiong family.
On the second day after the arrival of the envoy of the county king, the Lu family withdrew their men to the four towns and lifted the blockade of Yongsheng City.
According to the meaning of the county king, the Lu family wanted to return to Yonghe City, but when it came to the fat in his mouth, how could Lu Jiu spit it out, so he found the envoy of the county king to complain for a while, and said that the Xiong family had assassinated their father and son many times, and said that the Lu family had lost a lot of money by occupying the four towns, and they had to let them collect taxes for a year, which should be regarded as the Xiong family's apology for the assassination of their father and son.
Lu Jiu gave a large sum of money to the envoy of the county king, which is said to be the filial piety of the people of Yonghe City to the county king, but in fact, it all fell into the pocket of the envoy of the county king.
After getting the benefit, the envoy of the county king smiled happily, and instructed Lu Jiu to say two words on behalf of the county king, and then went back to his life with joy.
As soon as the envoy of the county king left, the atmosphere of the Lu family changed instantly, and Lu Jiu, Chu Zhen and other Lu family masters changed their appearance and makeup, and went straight to the chaotic Yongsheng City.
As soon as the siege of Yongsheng City was lifted, the people in the city immediately packed up their finesse and dragged their families out of the city. In the past few days, they are really afraid of the chaos in the city.
But at this moment, the Xiong family actually set up a checkpoint at the gate of the city to collect taxes for leaving the city, and if they wanted to leave the city, they either paid money or goods, even if the people wanted to leave, they had to be stripped of their skins first.
In this regard, the people of Yongsheng City dared not speak out, and those who were able to do so left their belongings and fled out of the city in a panic; those who were unable could only return home helplessly and continue to live this frightened life.
When Chu Zhen and the others came to the woods outside Yongsheng City, they lurked and waited for the opportunity to enter the city.
Due to the lack of manpower in the Xiong family, Lu Zheng finally found an opportunity to enter the core of the Xiong family. Chu Zhen and the others were waiting for him to send a signal.
Within the Xiong family, the atmosphere was not alleviated by the Lu family's withdrawal of the siege of Yongsheng City, but was even more dull than a few days ago.
Just a few days ago, the people of the Stormfall Pavilion suddenly visited, but what they brought was not the heads of Chu Zhen, Lu Jiu and his son, but three times the honorarium.
Windfall Pavilion never needed to leave any explanation, Xiong Zhenhai was also puzzled by this, but he was sure that the Xiong family would not be able to fight against the Lu family in a short period of time.
In the conference hall, Xiong Zhenhai and Xiong Zhenyue sat quietly on their chairs, no one spoke, and in the face of the next situation, the two had different thoughts and it was difficult to be of the same mind.
For Xiong Zhenyue, as the head of the family, he definitely wanted to guard Yongsheng City, but for Xiong Zhenhai, he had other thoughts. He and Xiong Zhenyue have basically turned their faces, and it is a matter of time before they completely fall out, rather than leaving the Xiong family with nothing, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there is still some power to plunder the wealth of the Xiong family, in order to make a comeback.
Their respective minds flowed, and it was destined that this night would not be peaceful.
