"This son's archery skills are so good!"

At the moment of the incident, Zhang Zhongjian was standing on the eaves of Shangshanfang, watching the battle from afar.

And the scene in the distance at this time made him stunned.

Half an hour later, seeing that the black-clothed men and the red armor on the raft had all retreated one after another, Zhang Zhongjian was unwilling to 'tsk', and said helplessly: "I originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to repay him for saving your mother's great kindness, but it seems that there is no chance." ”

Zhang Zhongjian naturally did not appear here by accident this time, but because his subordinates in Luoyang first noticed the change here and reported it.

It's just that when Zhang Zhongjian arrived, the result disappointed him, the third prince of the Tang State Mansion, didn't give the assassin any chance the whole time.

In this battle, Li Shimin himself certainly showed shocking strength, and his superb archery skills were enough to shock people's hearts, but this guy's subordinate soldiers were even more amazing.

Although these people's cooperation is unfamiliar, their combat power is very good, and what is rare is that they have excellent awareness, and all the responses are remarkable.

The king-level powerhouse who has never appeared, but he has never appeared.

This is not the person who suddenly has a good heart and is unwilling to take Li Shimin's trust, but there has been no suitable time to make a move.

On the bridge, except for the two Shi Rakshasa and Li Xin who were guarding behind Li Shimin, the rest, whether it was Dou Zhongxian or Yang Yun, all retained a lot of spare strength, and it would not be a problem to join forces to block this person for forty or fifty rounds.

After all, before this was the Imperial City, there was not much time left for them, and once the battle situation fell into a state of entanglement and stalemate, these people might not be able to retreat with their whole body.

This situation made Zhang Zhongjian very unhappy and regretful.

His wife and daughter are by no means merely 100,000 yuan that can be measured. This son's kindness must also be rewarded separately. But after all, he is a big man in Yangzhou, and there are many affairs over there, so it is impossible to stay in Luoyang City all the time.

But at this time, the girl in white who was standing behind him snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Father, you are like this, what kind of repayment is kind? Since you have received the news, you can just announce it in advance, and you have to sit back and wait for Engong to fall into danger, you are first of all ill-intentioned!"

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Zhongjian bowed slightly, and deeply agreed with his daughter Zhang Yurou's words: "But your family didn't mean to do this, and this time I didn't come to save him——"

"Not for Li Erlang?"

Zhang Yurou was slightly stunned, and then thought thoughtfully: "Is it for these killers?"

She also saw that those men in black obviously belonged to the same force.

"Sort of, you should know about the Overlord Sect?" Zhang Zhongjian's voice was flat, but his eyes flashed with disagreement.

"The south is a big sect with the Yue Nu Sword Sect, how can my daughter not know!"

Zhang Yurou nodded and said: "It is said that it is the legacy left by the overlord of Chu in the past, and he has always been active in the south, but he has always been half-dead. Since the two Han Dynasty, the people and horses in the door are only three or two kittens. It was not until after the Wuhu Rebellion that it developed and grew after the Southern Dynasties. Especially forty years ago, after the Great Grandmaster came to take charge of the Overlord Sect, the momentum of this sect has increased, and now it is the dominant party and has been promoted to the first-class Jianghu sect in the world. I heard that our family has cooperated with the Overlord Sect many times since my grandfather. ”

Speaking of this, she asked puzzledly: "Are these killers related to the Overlord Sect?"

At this time, the Lingnan coast was one of the largest private salt producing areas in the world, and her grandfather Zhang Jiling, as the head of the salt lords in the north and south, inevitably had to deal with the Overlord Sect, and even had a relationship with the creation in the early years.

As far as she knows, the current imperial court's control over the salt farms in the north has become increasingly strict, especially during the Great Cause period, the salt farms were almost out of stock. Therefore, the connection between their family and the Overlord Sect has become closer in recent years.

The latter also benefited from this, and gradually grew and took deep roots in the south, especially in the Baiyue regions, which is simply a monopoly.

But because of this, she felt strange that the Overlord Sect lived in the barren land of Lingnan, not only had little involvement with the Central Plains, but also never participated in the court dispute.

Besides, what does Li Shimin's life and death have to do with them? The martial arts Li family and Li Shimin have never offended the Overlord Sect. With the background of this family, I am afraid that I will not care about the hundreds of thousands of rewards offered by the black market.

Could it be that this southern sect has been engulfed by the powerful people of the DPRK and China?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yurou couldn't help but be shocked.

"That's what makes fatherhood feel weird!"

Zhang Zhongjian's eyebrows have wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan': "Since the disappearance of Creation and Transformation five years ago, and his life and death are unknown, the Overlord Sect has fallen into civil strife. It wasn't until the recent rise of the Mountain Demon Lin Shihong that the chaos of the Overlord Sect gradually calmed down. But the situation on the Lingnan side, my father is becoming more and more incomprehensible. That Lin Shan Demon not only sent a large number of elite disciples to the north, but also purchased armor everywhere. You probably won't believe it, in just one year, he has already obtained more than 15,000 sergeant-rank armors and 1,200 captain-level armors, and he has collected armor divisions everywhere, preparing to refine his own armor. This is only limited to what I learned for my father, and the battle armor that the Overlord Sect acquired through other channels was not counted. In addition, several of my family's old relationships in the Overlord Sect have now been severed one after another—"

When Zhang Yurou heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Fifteen thousand?

This is enough to arm an army of 100,000 people! Even in the southern part of the country, where the imperial court is heavily garrisoned, it is enough to set off a great chaos.

"Most likely, I'm not sure. ”

Zhang Zhongjian said in a noncommittal tone: "But what I'm more curious about is the wealth of this Overlord Sect,"

Zhang Yurou heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning: "What my father meant, is that behind this Overlord Sect, there may be other forces?"

This is not surprising, although the Overlord Sect is dominant in Lingnan and has abundant financial resources, after all, it has experienced civil strife.

And 15,000 warrior-rank armors and 1,200 captain-rank armors have a total value of more than 19 million guan! Considering such a large-scale acquisition, and not alarming the embroidered clothes guard and the imperial history platform, it is bound to be purchased at a premium.

Zhang Yurou is familiar with the market price of various ink armors because of her 'family history'. She estimated that the cost of the Overlord Sect must be more than 30 million.

It was an astonishing fortune, equivalent to an entire year's commercial tax for the entire South.

The Bawangzong has gone through the five countries of the Southern Dynasties, has a profound heritage, and has mastered industries worth hundreds of millions of yuan. But it is impossible for them to come up with such a large sum of money in a short period of time.

"So this time, my father is planning to explore the bottom of the Overlord Sect and see if he can find the person behind Lin Shihong?"

Zhang Yurou fell into contemplation again: "My father is not worried about the salt road in the south for the time being, and now most of the sales channels in Dasui are in my father's hands, and the source of private salt is not Lingnan." And the Overlord Sect has not been able to develop enough downlines in a short period of time, and it is absolutely no good for them to turn against you now. Since that mountain demon needs to use a lot of money, he will not cut off his own financial resources. But father, after all, you are still worried about the situation in the south in the future, and you want to know what Lin Shihong wants. I am also worried that our Xiushui Villa will be involved in this turmoil caused by the Overlord Sect. ”

After all, the Great Sui has a deep foundation and a huge military strength, once the Xiushui Villa is angered by the rebellion of the Overlord Sect, it will be like Mount Tai pressing the top, and it will definitely not be able to compete with their family.

In the eyes of others, the reason why their Zhang family was able to stand tall during the great cause of the emperor was because of the huge power of Xiushui Villa and the strong people like clouds, but she knew better that this was only because the imperial court was not serious, and there were also places where Xiushui Villa was used.

In the past, it was as strong as Nanchen Tuguhun was destroyed by the Great Sui, and the Xiushui Villa and thousands of battle armors were all destroyed, what was it?

"That's exactly what it means!"

Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but look at his daughter with appreciation. But then he looked strange and said, "It's rare to see Yurou you so patient and listen to your father's nagging." ”

In his early years, he intended to cultivate Zhang Yurou and take over the family's ancestral business of returning to salt. But Zhang Yurou never dared to be interested in these things, and often felt impatient after listening to one or two sentences.

Like today, after listening to him for so long, he still hasn't thrown his sleeves and left, it's like the sun coming out in the west.

"I just happened to see it, and I was a little curious—"

Zhang Yurou's face was slightly red, she really didn't dare to be interested in the mountain demon Lin Shihong and Lingnan Yanlu or something. It's just strange that the Overlord Sect, why would he target his own benefactor?

"So father, what clues do you have now?"

"Where is it possible to have a clue so quickly? These elite disciples of the Overlord Sect were ordered to go north, and it must not be for nothing. ”

Zhang Zhongjian shook his head slightly, and just as he was about to continue to say something, he saw more than a dozen figures in the distance, rushing like rabbits.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help but smile a little sarcastically, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Yurou's shoulder.

"These eagle dogs of the embroidered guards are coming too late. Let's go back first, if there is something about the Overlord Sect, let's talk about it when we go back. ”

The strength of these embroidered guards is still not weak, once surrounded by these people, he is a bearded guest, and it is difficult to take his lowly daughter of martial arts to get out safely.

And when Zhang Zhongjian's figure flew up in the air and headed south. Zhang Yurou couldn't help but turn her head sideways and looked at Li Shimin, who had taken off his ink armor on the bridge.

In her eyes, there was both worry and a little admiration.

The worry is because of Li Shimin's state at this time - it must not be very comfortable. In addition, there is also the crisis that Engong is facing, being targeted by the Overlord Sect and the black market, Engong will definitely be fierce for a period of time in the future, and I don't know if Engong can hold on?

admired Li Shimin's calm and heroic posture in the face of strong enemies today, as well as his extremely beautiful archery skills.

- She never knew that the battle between the spearheads was so exciting!
