Chapter 240: Own Turf
"Thank you Patriarch for your kindness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If there is a chance in the future, the younger generation should make a special trip to visit the patriarch and the elders. The younger generation said goodbye. Xu Yaxin got up and said.
"Good. Miss Xu, wait a moment, I will send a group of people to escort you. Seeing that Xu Yaxin was about to leave, the patriarch of the Zhang family said anxiously.
"Patriarch, we appreciate your kindness. Now is the time to employ people, so don't transfer any more people for us. What's more, we are now in the realm of our five major families, and I believe that no one has dared to attack our idea yet. ”
Xu Yaxin knew very well in her heart that the strength of herself and her brother had reached the fifth-level emperor realm, and if the Zhang family sent someone to protect it, then at worst, they would have to send a sixth-level emperor realm powerhouse. In normal times, it doesn't matter, but now it's different. A sixth-level emperor-level super powerhouse is a leader who can stand alone for any family. Therefore, Xu Yaxin rejected it very sensibly and directly.
"Hmm. Miss Xu, the old man is not polite to you. Then I wish Miss Xu and Wang Xiaoyou a smooth journey. At the same time, please Miss Xu to bring a message to the head of the Xu family, saying that after this melee is resolved, our five families will get together again. The patriarch of the Zhang family said heartily.
"Yes, Patriarch. The younger generation retired. Xu Yaxin replied briefly.
The patriarch of the Zhang family thought very carefully, and after Xu Yaxin walked out of the meeting hall, the talented boys and girls of the Zhang family who knew Xu Yaxin greeted them. has been sent out of the main city, and after the figures of Xu Yaxin and Wang Weizhi disappeared from view, they reluctantly returned to the city. That kind of scene is also a sad parting, which is tear-jerking.
In terms of geographical location, the ten major families of the Xuantian Continent are basically demarcated by the innate terrain. The overall terrain of the Xuantian Continent is high in the middle and low on both sides. In the middle is a vast group of mountains, traversing the entire Xuantian Continent. The five major families with compound surnames are located in the western half of the Xuantian Continent, and the mountains are lined up. The Xu family and other five major families are located in the eastern half of the Xuantian Continent, and they are also lined up in the Yan Mountains. Therefore, this mountain that runs through the east and west has become a unified strategic buffer zone for the two camps, and they are one to one.
After Wang Weizhi and Xu Yaxin left the Zhang family, they took a straight line and ran all the way in the territory ruled by the Fang faction, and advanced towards Xuanwu City, the main city of the Xu family. Along the way, after crossing the territory of the Zhao family and the Zhou family, this day finally set foot on the territory of the Xu family.
Of course, the ruling territory mentioned here is not rule in the absolute sense, but a kind of coercion and shock, and the most accurate expression should be the sphere of influence. Due to the relationship between the Xu family and other five families for many years, they are also tacit to each other, and they are very conscious and never interfere in the spheres of influence of other families. There are no armed forces other than commercial trade.
And these local forces are also aware of it, no matter what they think in their hearts, but they still give enough face on the surface. Especially when encountering the power struggle of the city lord, the five major families are often invited to uphold justice and resolve grievances.
"Brother Wei, the front is Qianjiang County. From today onwards, we will truly set foot on the land of our hometown. ”
On a mountain peak that is not too high, Xu Yaxin said excitedly. The cold mountain wind blew, blowing Xu Yaxin's long waterfall-like hair into a frenzy, which just reflected Xu Yaxin's complicated mood at the moment.
"Hehe, it's really not easy."
Following the direction pointed by Xu Yaxinyu's hand, Wang Weizhi looked at a county town that was similar to Lingshan County, and said with emotion.
"yes, brother. We have been going through the years, bloody and bloody along the way, struggling to survive on the edge of death all the time, and even wandering back and forth between life and death, but we are still strong and alive after all. But I didn't expect that the tranquil Xuantian Continent and my hometown also changed. Is it true that power and territory are so important? Can it put the lives of the clansmen on the line and a peaceful life for thousands of years? Xu Yaxin said sadly.
"Xin'er, maybe this is the distorted psychology of greedy people. In their eyes, there is only endless possession, unsatisfied desire, no family affection at all, and no knowledge of cherishing at all. As the old people often say: the desire is hard to fill. Wang Weizhi said.
"Alas!" Xu Yaxin sighed softly.
"Xin'er, since we have set foot on the territory of your Xu family, why don't we go to Qianjiang County for a day of rest, and then hurry tomorrow, and take a look at the current situation in this small border county by the way. How is it? Seeing that Xu Yaxin was in a heavy mood, Wang Wei changed the topic in time and proposed.
"Well, for the sake of brother. However, I don't know the person in charge of Qianjiang County, and I've never been here. Therefore, the situation is not familiar. Xu Yaxin replied embarrassedly.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay. I'm also worried that the controller of this county town knows you, and when the time comes, it will be extremely uncomfortable to engage in those polite pomp and circumstance. No one knows my Xin'er, which is just what I want, and we can have a solid rest for the day. Don't say it, I'm really tired enough along the way. Seeing Xu Yaxin's embarrassed and embarrassed appearance, Wang Weizhi said with a smile.
"Let's go, your husband is not short of money. Let's charter an elegant and quiet courtyard, and then call a table of sumptuous wine and food, and enjoy life. is the so-called stealing half a day of leisure, hugging a beautiful woman to get drunk on the Spring Festival; Lang's wife is sleepless at night, and she likes to hold the dragon and phoenix fetus in the coming year. Haha------"
Without waiting for Xu Yaxin's interface, Wang Weizhi continued to joke with great interest, and at the end, he couldn't help but kill himself with a limerick poem. As soon as the words fell, the figure was already rushing out. Xu Yaxinlian, who was so ashamed of herself, stomped straight away, and the roots of her hateful teeth itched.
"Come, stop. These are extraordinary times, the situation is chaotic, and people's hearts are unstable. Therefore, the city lord has an order, and idle people are not allowed to enter the city. If you don't comply, you won't be killed. ”
Just as Wang Weizhi and Xu Yaxin were about to enter the city, a guard in front of the city gate shouted from afar.
At this time, there were many guards on the city wall of Qianjiang County. As far as the eye can see, there is a strong man on duty almost every fifty meters. At the city gate, there are eleven strong men at the level of the land king, and all the people who want to enter the city are interrogated one by one.
"We were just passing through. Due to the hard journey, I want to go into the city for a night's rest, by the way, add some belongings, and leave the county tomorrow, but also hope to be accommodating. Wang Weizhi replied loudly.
"Hmm. Come here. ”
The guard beckoned to Xu Yaxin and said.
"Since the two of them are cultivators passing by, they can naturally be accommodating. If you really want to enter the city, you must pay one gold coin per person for the detention fee. The guard whispered.
"You ------"
"Hehe, it's easy to say. Thank you for your accommodatingness. ”
Seeing that Xu Yaxin was about to go crazy, Wang Weizhi interrupted Xu Yaxin's words in time, and said with a bright smile. As he spoke, two gold coins were placed in the guard's hand.
"Hmm. Don't cause trouble when you enter the city, and don't run around, do you understand? After the guard accepted the gold coin, his face sank, and he said with a serious face.
The strength of this guard is only a fifth-level earth king powerhouse, although he can't see through the strength of Wang Weizhi and Xu Yaxin, but with such a young appearance of the two, he subjectively assumes that the strength of the two of them is also a sixth- or seventh-level earth king, which is a little stronger than himself.
However, the boss of Qianjiang County is an emperor-level super powerhouse, and there are even more powerhouses in the seventh- and eighth-level earth king realm. It is precisely because of such a powerful backstage that the guard did not take Wang Weizhi and Xu Yaxin in his eyes, and confidently accepted the money and released them.
After sending the guards guarding the city, Wang Weizhi and Xu Yaxin entered the city smoothly. As far as the eye can see, it is very depressed, more than 98% of the shops on the street have been closed, and there are few people. Occasionally, I see one or two pedestrians, but they are also in a hurry, and there is no appearance of a county town.
The two searched for a long time, and finally found a store that was open, and asked for an independent courtyard very easily and cheaply, and lived there. Although he lived as he wished, the store did not have any good food and wine hospitality, so he wanted to make a table of sumptuous wine and food to treat his king, so he had to give up unwillingly, and casually ordered some popular goods and home-cooked food.
"Brother Wei, why did you stop me just now. They are so shameless that they not only lose their own face, but also tarnish the image of our family. I haven't encountered this kind of thing, but since I have encountered it, I have to take care of it. Facing a table of wine and food, Xu Yaxin's chopsticks didn't move, so she asked anxiously.
"Look at you, what a big deal! Qi like this. It's a time of war, not more than usual. Qianjiang County is a small county, and if so many strong people are suddenly invited to guard it, the expenses will definitely increase. Where does so much expenditure come from, your Xu family will definitely not give it, and they dare not ask for it, so what should I do? . can only make these famous halls and increase some income. ”
"What's more, in this tense situation, they have every reason not to let us into the city, but we do, and this is a kind of transaction. We spend money to go into the city, and they collect money and release people, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and each takes what he needs. Thinking about this from this point of view, we should be grateful to this guard. It was his accommodation that allowed us to achieve our goal of entering the city. ”
Seeing that Xu Yaxin was still angry about the little thing just now, Wang Weizhi smiled and said with relief.
"Humph! You, you are robber logic. Xu Yaxin snorted and said.
"Okay, okay, my wife is a gentleman's logic, and my husband is a robber, so let's not discuss this topic for now. Come on, come on, let's enjoy such a table of wine and food first. We can't treat ourselves badly because of these little things, our bodies are innocent! Isn't there a very hung opinion now, what is called shelving controversy and joint development? We'll put aside the controversy over logic and work together to develop this sumptuous table of wine and food. Come on, come on, eat! ”
Wang Wei teased. As soon as the words fell, he quickly took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and ate it with great enjoyment.
