Neither the young nor the old knights could have imagined that they would hear such a sentence.

Although both of them are only low-grade martial arts sects, and their status in the Xia family in Kyoto Prefecture is not very good, but this kind of errand of foreign assignment, that is, on behalf of the entire Xia family, will be treated respectfully when they go to any branch family, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest.

Not to mention this kind of being directly shouted to be killed.

So the two knights were stunned at the same time, thinking that they had heard something wrong.

But such a stunned kung fu has already killed them!

The old butler who has been standing beside Xia Ya naturally has a very tacit understanding with Xia Ya, from knowing what the two knights in front of him are from, and then after Xia Ya began to fall silent, the old butler has already had some kind of preparation.

So with Xia Ya's order, the old butler didn't hesitate to rush directly towards the two knights!

The power of the Nine Rank Martial Sect burst out without any reservations, and while the two knights were stunned, they had already rushed in front of the older knight, and at the same time pinched one hand on the elder knight's neck.

With the force of one hand, accompanied by a clicking sound, this elderly knight with the power of the second-grade martial arts sect didn't have time to exert his strength at all, and he was directly broken by the old butler's neck!

The old butler's men did not stop, and after killing a knight in an instant, he killed the young knight without any gaps.

At this time, the young knight finally reacted from his stunned state, and seeing his companion being killed instantly, the young knight's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Xia Ya! How daring! You're ......"

Before he finished his sentence, the old butler's hand also grabbed his neck, and without giving him any chance to resist, he cut off his neck again.

After doing this neatly, the old housekeeper turned around and calmly closed the door of the hall, and then turned his head to look at Xia Ya, waiting for Xia Ya's further instructions.

"Although I have always known that my family is domineering, I didn't expect that just two ordinary generals could be so domineering. This is still the attitude of the branch family, if the branch family asks for the side of the family, what will happen? ”

Xia Ya didn't let the old housekeeper clean up the body as soon as possible, but sighed with emotion.

"I'm afraid I can't even get in the door, right? The Xia family's harshness towards branch families was well-known throughout the dynasty. However, for hundreds of years, the subtle influence on the honor of the family has been constantly carried out, so that the harshness of the Xia family in Kyoto Prefecture towards the branch family has become a habit. ”

The old butler bowed and said.

"Not to mention this, it seems that his performance in the spring exam is so amazing that the Kyoto Prefecture is about to take it into his hands. However, with the domineering of the Kyoto family, after having such an idea, he must find Xia Fan as soon as possible and make this matter clear. Although I don't know what Xia Fan did on his side, it seems that the other party should not have taken advantage of it, and there is no way to force him to agree, so he found my side. ”

Xia Ya got up from his seat, walked to the corpses of the two knights, and said very indifferently.

"What are we going to do next?"

The old butler leaned over and asked.

"The family should not be a burden to that stinky boy, but should be a strong support behind him. But since the family has sent someone over, we can't avoid many things. Unfortunately...... There is still a huge difference between the current strength of the family and the family, and if it is carried hard, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe. ”

Xia Ya took a deep breath, stretched out his finger and pointed to the two corpses on the ground, and then said: "Dispose of the bodies of these two people, take them to the capital on the way to Dongshan County, and find a place to arrange it well, so that people think that they were intercepted and killed in the middle of the road, and the news did not reach us." What's more, on the way in the two of them, who in the family saw them, and if they could be trusted, they first arranged to go to some Zhuangzi outside the city to do things, and there was no trust and certainty...... Find a reason, kill them all. ”

The old butler was slightly shocked, but he still bowed down to respond.

"The two horses were also secretly taken out together, and the guards at the gates of the county town were to be checked to see from which gate they had entered. With the habits of the Xia family, I am afraid that it will leave some impressions on the guards, and these must also be dealt with. At the same time, send people back to Qingyang City to deal with it as if it were the county government. ”

Xia Ya rubbed his head and continued to command.

The old butler memorized all this in his mind, and nodded as he listened.

"I may also have some things that I don't think through, and you always think about whether there is anything you need to add when you do it. It's too much involved, so remember to be careful and careful, and don't use anyone but the Blood Servant. Time is on our side. So far, the only way we have to do it is to delay, one more day, we will be stronger, but the capital family has been so many years, and their strength will not change much over time, in short, we must delay this matter as much as possible. ”

Summer has made a decision.

The old housekeeper was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he still asked: "Lord of the family, although it is said that according to Young Master Xia Fan's arrangement, as long as we are given time, we will become strong rapidly." But...... But after all, it can't be compared to the capital itself, right? Even if it's delayed, it can't be delayed for too long, the people who died out of the family to run errands always have to be checked, and after a long time, even if we do a clean job here, we can't find our heads over there, and we can always continue to send someone over to inform us, we can kill once...... But I can't kill it a second time. ”

"I know your concern, and I know it's a very negative way to deal with it, but there's nothing else we can do. Besides, for us, the improvement of strength does not mean that we have to be strong enough to be able to compete with our own family, as long as we can be strong enough to make our family feel a headache, then we have the ability to protect ourselves. No matter how strong the family is, the foundation is always in the capital. Different from the other three major families, among the four major families, the Xia family is the only branch family with all over the dynasty, which makes the Xia family's influence in the people far beyond the other three families, and at the same time, it actually makes the Xia family's ability to control the territory outside the capital basically zero. ”

In the end, Xia Ya also relaxed, smiled, and continued: "Relying on lying on the body of the branch family to suck blood, the foundation of these hundreds of years has been achieved, but it has also made the family have a great dependence on the branch family. Besides, our Daqian Dynasty has to talk about the law after all, as long as our strength reaches a certain level, even if it is our own family, it is impossible to force it. Let's do it, and also, immediately pick ten blood servants out, go to the capital, and let the blood servants bring this matter and our way of dealing with it to that stinky boy. Let the stinky boy decide the rest. ”

"Yes! My lord, I'll make arrangements. ”

The old butler said no more, and bowed down
