Chapter 172: Acting Separately
Outside Wuhou County, a horse-drawn cart was tied to some simple belongings, and a middle-aged couple drove the horse into the distance. The two of them followed Jiang Feng's advice and escaped from Wuhou County.
"Whew!"
Just as the two of them were anxiously hurrying, the sound of the air wind suddenly rose, and a white shadow flashed, crossed the road, and nailed to the trunk of the tree beside the road, which was a paper fan.
"Ahh
With a final neigh, the horse overturned the innkeeper and his wife, and their huge head rolled to the ground, staining the ground red.
"Old bastard, you offend our son-in-law and want to run for your life!"
In the woods on the side, two figures walked out leisurely, and the speaker was the servant of the Yue family before, the ruffian in Tsing Yi. The other person looked calm, his eyes were proud, and he was dressed in white and quite graceful.
The moment the shopkeeper and his wife saw the young man in white, their faces suddenly changed, and they were as white as frost in an instant, and their lips and teeth trembled
"Son-in-law!"
The ruffian in Tsing Yi glanced at the shopkeeper and his wife, hurriedly hunched his waist, took off the paper fan from the trunk of the father-in-law in three steps and two steps, closed the fan respectfully, and served it in front of the son-in-law.
"What this son wants, he has never been able to get it!"
The shopkeeper tightened the burden in his arms, and said timidly to his son-in-law: "Son-in-law, you are of noble birth, why should you have trouble with us ordinary people?"
"You're a fart, do you know who our son-in-law is? Our son-in-law is now an inner disciple of Suwang Valley, and he's an immortal! You offended our son-in-law, and you still want to live? Wishful thinking! Don't think that once Wu Xiulin saved you, you can stop taking our son-in-law in your eyes, and tell you the truth, he Wu Xiulin is not a fart in front of our son!"
The ruffian stood respectfully behind his son-in-law, with a villain's powerful face, patting his son's ass without a trace, and his flattery also made the son-in-law quite proud.
The scope of Wuhou County is too large, there are many sects, Suwang Valley is the most famous gate faction in Wuhou County, but the Yue family is just a small family, the scale is only slightly larger than the Yang family that Jiang Feng met at the beginning, and it is not a pure Xiuzhen family.
Although the son-in-law in front of him is a descendant, he is also a complete gentleman of the Yue family, idleness all day long, idleness, the family only raised an idler, did not care about him, and the heir of the family had no other choice.
It wasn't until later, by chance, that this son's qualifications were taken by the "Bi Cong" elder of Suwang Valley and included in his disciples, and he was quite loved by his teacher, and the arrogance of this son-in-law became more and more arrogant.
With this help, the Yue family quickly developed its family power, and treated this son-in-law more kindly, and even the family heir had to be overpowered by him. Over the years, the Yue family has also accumulated a lot of grievances, but because of the Suwang Valley behind them, the people of those families dare not speak out.
As for the Tsing Yi ruffian, he often follows his master "before and after the saddle" on weekdays, doing all kinds of evil, and is notorious among the township. Now that Gongzi Yue has returned home with his senior brother and senior brother, he naturally pleases him in every possible way.
A few days ago, the shopkeeper accidentally splashed his son-in-law when splashing water, and then was seen by the ruffian who had his family heirloom Lingyu, so he designed to provoke an incident and forcibly snatch the Lingyu to offer it to Gongzi. And that son-in-law also wanted to take the opportunity to give this jade as a gift to his master, Elder Bi Cong, so he had a murder in front of him.
"Gongzi Yue spares his life, and the villain is willing to sacrifice the family heirloom spirit jade!"
The shopkeeper took out a piece of jade pendant wrapped layer by layer from his bosom with a sad face, and presented it to his son-in-law with all kinds of reluctance.
"It's late! Now this son not only wants this spirit jade, but also your life!"
As soon as Yue Gongzi's words fell, the ruffian in green clothes laughed fiercely, and had already pulled out the long knife on his waist and slashed at the shopkeeper and his wife.
"Whew!"
The shopkeeper and his wife closed their eyes in despair, and at that moment, a silver light flashed, and the ruffian in Tsing Yi looked blankly at his right hand, where the hand holding the knife was gone.
"Ahh
Blood spurted out, and the ruffian sat on his knees clutching his wounds, crying out in pain. But his pain didn't last long, and another sword slashed at him, and his expression stopped abruptly, and he was already in a different place.
"Who?!"
Yue Gongzi's pupils shrank, and he suddenly looked back, only to see two masked women walking with horses not far away, it was the summer night and the dream.
"Benefactor! We are saved!"
The shopkeeper and his wife were in a desperate situation, and they wept with joy when they recognized the summer night.
"It seems that you are also monks, but the house slaves of my Yue family are not yet the turn of two outsiders to kill them casually, who are you?"
Yue Gongzi moved his sword, and a flying sword appeared beside him, staring coldly at the second daughter of Xia Ye, confident and fearless.
"Scum, kill yourself and be quiet!"
Youmeng spoke coldly, and she still held a short sword in her hand, leaving sword energy.
"If I offend Suwanggu, even if I crush your bones and scatter ashes, it will be difficult to get rid of the crime! But if you are good-looking, this son can consider accepting you as my furnace ding, so that you will not die! Come, take off the veil, and let this son take a good look at your appearance!"
Seeing that the second daughter had a slender posture and a good temperament, he believed that no one would be stupid enough to risk offending Suwanggu to kill him, an elder disciple. As for the dead ruffian, he is just a minion, if he is dead, he will die, and his emotions will not fluctuate.
A strong disgust flashed in the eyes of the second daughter, and the short sword of the dream had already been secretly pointed at the vital point of the son-in-law, but Xia Yeyan stopped her, showed a mocking smile, and lifted her veil.
"Oh, how does the son-in-law look like this little woman?"
The moment Xia Ye Di lifted the veil, the whole world seemed to be bright, and Yue Gongzi's eyes were about to protrude, looking at Xia Ye's beautiful face stupidly, he forgot about the north, south, west and east for a while, only one heart was like a deer, he swore that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.
"How? are you satisfied?"
The sound of the silver bell in the summer night brought the consciousness of the son-in-law back to reality, he hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, nodded vigorously, as for the shopkeeper and his wife, they were not even more unlucky, until this time they still did not shake their senses, and their mouths kept muttering "fairy" and "fairy".
"Satisfied! Satisfied! Of course satisfied! Since you are so knowledgeable about current affairs, my son will magnanimously forgive you and take you into the room!"
Gongzi Yue looked nostalgically at Xia Yeyan and put on the veil again, and at the same time carefully inspected Youmeng up and down, with what he thought, and at the same time covered her face with a black veil, this woman's appearance must not be bad, just when he secretly sighed that he was not shallow, and he could exchange one slave for two peerless beauties, Youmeng's cold voice came out again.
"Sister Xia, have you had enough? If you've had enough, let's do it!"
Yue Gongzi was stunned for a moment, but a sword light had already rushed out from the short sword in Youmeng's hand, he was in a trance, although he tried his best to defend, but this sword light seemed to be indestructible, cutting off his flying sword, breaking through his defense, and penetrating straight into his head.
Gongzi fell to the ground in a daze, blood mixed with brains flowing to the ground, and he died of anger. The mockery in Summer Night's eyes gradually dissipated, and although her actions were meant to be teasing, it was not a way for Yumeng to easily kill the enemy and win. Phantom snorted and put away her dagger.
"This kind of garbage retarded, life is a waste of air, where do you get the courage to learn from others?"
"I'm curious too!"
The second daughter then helped the shopkeeper and his wife to reappear on the list of horses, and then left in the other party's thousand thanks, the shopkeeper and his wife galloped all the way, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, they are estimated to never forget today's kindness in their lives, especially the fairy-like face that flashed in a flash.
......
Wuhou County, in one of the upper rooms of the Yue family.
Not long after Gongzi Yue's death, a Taoist man in his forties suddenly opened his eyes and looked at somewhere outside Wuhou County, his eyes showed a fierce light, and the aura of the middle of the Shenhai Realm slowly emanated.
"Who dares to kill my disciple?"
This person is the master of the son-in-law, the elder of Suwang Valley-Bi Cong!
Yue Gongzi was his youngest disciple and was deeply loved by him, so he left a spiritual imprint on his body, and he could sense the danger of his own disciple in order to rescue him in time, but at that moment, his spiritual imprint disappeared.
"Although my disciple's cultivation is not high, he also has the realm of an immortal life, and the other party can kill him in an instant before I perceive it, and his cultivation is bound to be not low, and caution is the best!"
Bi Cong had scruples, and after informing the Yue family of this, he hurriedly contacted Suwanggu and asked for support from the sect, and he first accompanied the grief-stricken Yue family to Wuhou County to search for his disciple's body.
"Whoever kills my disciple is openly declaring war on my Suwang Valley, and you will definitely die!"
A moment and three minutes later, the news of the death of the little prince of the Yue family outside Wuhou County disappeared, and it instantly spread to all forces.
......
At the same time, the center of Wuhou County.
Here, there is a city within a city, magnificent and atmospheric, with many palace towers, which can be compared with extraordinary forces. This is the place where the nominal ruler of Wuhou County lives, and it is also the location of Wu Xiulin's family - Wuhou Mansion!
Wuhou Mansion is the largest force in Wuhou County, directly belongs to the royal family of Zhao State, hereditary succession, has managed Wuhou County for generations, is a powerful prince, few forces in the county can be compared, Suwang Valley is one of them.
However, if you talk about the Wuhou Mansion when it was extremely prosperous, the territory was better than today, and the power in the mansion was innumerable, even the Suwang Valley was not worth mentioning, but now that the times have changed, the children and grandchildren of the younger generations are unable to continue, and the royal family of Zhao State is suppressed, and no longer attaches importance to this remote place, and the territory of Wuhou County is becoming less and less, and the power is not as good as before.
At this time, in the Wuhou Mansion, Wu Xiulin walked briskly all the way and entered the main hall of the Hou Mansion, and the housekeeper immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"Welcome the young master back home, the young master has been tired all the way, hard work!"
Wu Xiulin nodded in response, took off his robe, handed it to the housekeeper, and asked, "Where is Master Hou?"
"Lord Hou......"
As soon as the housekeeper Fang spoke, a middle-aged man had walked out of the back of the house, this person was richly dressed, had a good face, and was extraordinary, it was Wu Xiulin's father, and he was also the Wuhou of this generation - "Wu Zhenfang"!
"Lin'er, as soon as Fang comes back, he will find his father, what's the matter?"
"Father, that's how ......"
Wu Xiulin saluted respectfully to his father, his father was the only half-step realm great cultivator in the Wuhou Mansion today, and the only pillar of support. But just as he was about to explain why, he was interrupted by a bulletin from outside the door.
"Report! Hou Ye, I just received the news that the little son of the Yue family who entered Suwang Valley was killed outside Wuhou County a moment ago!"
Before Wu Zhenfang could speak, Wu Xiulin's eyes rolled, and after a little thought, he took the lead in asking, "Is there a corpse of a house slave next to the corpse?"
"But there is the corpse of a slave of the Yue family!"
Wu Xiulin was silent for a few breaths, then he looked at his father Wu Zhenfang and asked, "Father, the son of the Yue family is a disciple of Suwanggu, Suwanggu must intervene in the investigation at this time, do you know how long it will take them to dispatch people?"
"In less than an hour at most!"
Wu Zhenfang looked at his son suspiciously and gave an answer. After hearing this, Wu Xiulin was silent for a while, and suddenly knelt on one knee and asked Wu Zhenfang for his life.
"Father, the child asks for permission for me to urgently invoke the power of the military horses of the Wuhou Mansion, and return it immediately in two hours at the latest!"
"Why?"
"I'm going to save a few people who are very important, and they can't afford to be missed, and I'll talk to my father about the details after the child is done!"
Wu Zhenfang hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, took out the talisman, and handed it to Wu Xiulin.
"Go ahead, I hope you'll give me a reasonable explanation then!"
Wu Xiulin was silent, took off the pendant in his arms and solemnly placed it in Wu Zhenfang's hand. Wu Zhenfang was puzzled, and suddenly his eyes widened, looking at Wu Xiulin in disbelief.
"Really?"
Wu Xiulin nodded silently, turned around and left with the talisman!
