Chapter 171: Zhou Hu
The inner city of Warflame City
In the outer city of War Flame City, it is controlled by the four major families, and the inner city is governed by the City Lord's Mansion and the Zhou Mansion.
In other words, the four major families of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li are the lords of the outer city, and even the city lord's mansion is difficult to fight against them, but the inner city is covered by the Zhou family.
Similarly, the four major families are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the inner city, which is a tacit agreement and a secret agreement between the two.
No one has broken it for thousands of years.
But now, with the shattering of the natal soul card of Zhou Yue, the youngest son of the head of the Zhou family and the son of the Zhou family, he has fallen.
Zhou Yun, the head of the Zhou family, who had gone completely crazy, no longer cared about the agreement between the city lord's mansion, the Zhou family, and the four major families that they had made to not interfere with each other.
He also ignored the dissuasion of the City Lord's Mansion and the major elders of the Zhou family, and directly activated the Zhou family's internal response hidden among the various forces in War Flame City to investigate the real culprit or clues who killed his son.
Therefore, in the next short period of time, I don't know how many internal responses that were sent by the Zhou family to various forces to hide in them were discovered, detected, and thus killed and uprooted.
At the same time, under various torture criminal laws, many of them confessed to the Zhou family, and because of this, many forces in War Flame City also knew about Zhou Yue's natal soul card shattering.
The so-called natal soul card is the vast majority of forces in the martial domain, after the birth of the children of the family, take a drop of blood from the heart of the eyebrows, drop it into a kind of spiritual material called soul jade, and refine it into a strange thing.
It can be found out whether the owner of the soul card is alive or dead, and the broken soul card means that the soul of the owner of the soul card is broken, and the dead can no longer die.
This is also an important reason why the head of the Zhou family is so crazy.
Although Zhou Yue is the youngest son of the head of the Zhou family. However, Zhou Yun, the head of the Zhou family, was born to the housewife of the Zhou family, and he was the only son of the Zhou family, that is, the only heir to the position of the head of the Zhou family.
No matter how many sons Zhou Yun has, he is eligible to inherit the position of the head of the Zhou family, and only Zhou Yue is alone. As for his other sons, they were all born to concubines, and they were not eligible to inherit the position of head of the family anywhere.
Of course, as soon as Zhou Yue died, the position of the heir of the head of the Zhou family would be vacant.
Therefore, many old people in the Zhou family who used to live in seclusion and did not care about things have come out intentionally or unintentionally.
And they had only one purpose, so that Zhou Yun could immediately establish the candidate for the heir.
But Zhou Yun, who is experiencing the pain of losing his son, although he also knows that the candidate for the heir must be established as soon as possible, in case something happens to him, the Zhou family will not fall apart.
Therefore, even if Zhou Yun was unwilling in his heart, he was also "persecuted" by the major elders of the Zhou family and the elders of the previous generation, and established an heir.
However, three were set up at once. They are the eldest son of Zhou, Zhou Hu, the second son Zhou Ming, and the seventh son Zhou Yan.
Zhou Hu, the son of the Zhou family, although he is not the son of the Zhou family, is the person who is most likely to be appointed as the heir of the head of the family after Zhou Yue's fall.
But he never expected that his father would have three heirs at the same time.
However, what made him even more secretly annoyed was that they had to add two words in front of their heir, candidate.
In other words, the position of the heir of the Zhou family has still not been established.
Of course, it can also be said that it is established, but there are only three.
Zhou Yun's explanation, first, has not grown since ancient times.
Second, Zhou Yue's corpse has not been found, even if the natal soul card is broken, it does not mean that Zhou Yue will definitely die. If an heir is established now, if Zhou Yue is really still alive, when he returns.
Seeing that the Zhou family has another heir, wouldn't it make him feel cold.
When the time comes, the Zhou family will abolish who will set up whom!
Therefore, before Zhou Yue's body is found, before Zhou Yue's death is determined, and before the real murderer of Zhou Yue is found, the location of the heir is uncertain.
......
"Mother, my father is too partial, right! I am also very sad when my ninth brother dies, but why does my father refuse to directly make me his heir?"
It is an extremely luxuriously decorated and palatial room.
At this moment, an extremely unwilling voice fell in the room.
"Why, because you are my son, you are a concubine, and Zhou Yue is a concubine. Since ancient times, almost no one can change it. Unless you are as good as Lao Qi, otherwise, even if you are the son of the Zhou family. ”
"Hu'er, you should know very well that if you are not the eldest son, you will not even be qualified to be a candidate for heir with your qualifications. ”
In the room, a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace costumes snuggled lazily on the snow-white soft couch, and said lightly.
There was a hint of hatred in his tone.
On the side of the soft couch is a young man wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a long figure, and an extraordinary bearing.
The man's appearance is two or three points similar to that of the beautiful woman in the soft couch, which makes his fair face shine like a trace of warm jade.
It is completely unworthy of the word "tiger".
On the contrary, there is a feeling that only a gentleman can be bullied.
Hearing this, Zhou Hu's face couldn't help but sigh and became gloomy even with Zhou Hu's temperament.
In front of his own mother, he didn't need to disguise his inner thoughts.
"What does Mother mean?"
After a half-sigh, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared in Zhou Hu's eyes, and some stunned eyes fell, lazily snuggling up to the graceful body of the beautiful woman on the soft couch.
At the same time, cold sweat was dripping down his back.
"If you want to become the head of the Zhou family, you must remove all stumbling blocks. ”
Feeling his son, the surprised gaze of the beautiful woman was like a beautiful snake, red as blood, and the red lips outlined a cold smile, and the red lips said lightly.
There was an undisguised cold and piercing murderous intent in the words.
The room was surrounded by his henchmen, and she didn't have to worry about being known to others.
Even if she knew, she could vouch for her life.
At this time, in the other two courtyards of the Zhou Mansion, there was a similar dialogue.
"The child knows. ”
The beautiful woman's voice fell, and a trace of unbearable color appeared in Zhou Hu's eyes, but he was swept by the beautiful woman's fierce gaze.
After all, he forcibly pressed it down and spoke.
"It's not too early, and the child will retire first. Mother's rest. ”
After saying that, Zhou Hu flicked his sleeves, and then bowed to the beautiful woman again, and then withdrew from the room under the beautiful woman's angry face.
"You!"
Seeing this, a touch of anger appeared on the beautiful woman's beautiful face, and then she pointed at Zhou Hu and said sharply.
But after all, he didn't say anything cruel.
"How could I have given birth to you, such an indisputable thing. If you don't kill them, once they gain power, it will be our mother and son who will die. ”
As soon as Zhou Hu stepped out of the threshold of the room, a voice mixed with anger sounded in his ears.
Hearing this, Zhou Hu's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything, but silently closed the door for the beautiful woman.
"Mother, unless the second brother is the second brother, the seventh brother really wants to kill you, my mother and son. Otherwise, please forgive the child for being unfilial, and can only disobey the mother's order. ”
"The child is their eldest brother after all, and they are the younger brother of the child after all, your son and nephew. ”
"The child can't do it. ”
A faint voice echoed outside the room door.
After that, there was a piercing sound of falling and smashing things in the room.
Listening to the sound of breaking in the room, Zhou Hu sighed secretly in his heart.
To be honest, when Zhou Yue was alive, Zhou Hu was coveting the position of the head of the Zhou family.
As soon as Zhou Yue died, not only was he not as happy as he imagined, but he wanted to kill Zhou Yue.
At the end of the day, he wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as he imagined.
After Zhou Yue's natal soul card was broken, his first thought was not the location of the heir, but to find Zhou Yue's corpse and let it be buried in the ground, so as to avoid the violent corpse wilderness.
It's just that what makes him feel strange is that Zhou Yue, as the concubine of the Zhou family, is not only a monk in the early stage of the Liquid Transformation Realm, but also has many life-saving things on his body, even if a monk of the Smelting Crystal Realm makes a move, even if he can't beat Zhou Yue's ability, he can still escape. Moreover, as long as Zhou Yue reveals the identity of the Zhou family's son-in-law, the entire Battle Flame City is within the entire Northern Ghost City domain, and who and that force dares to touch him.
Even the elders of the ten major sects in the Northern Ghost City probably didn't have the courage to move Zhou Yue.
After all, behind the Zhou family stood the entire Battle Flame City.
Of course, the premise is that Zhou Yue did not take the initiative to provoke, otherwise the ten major sects would teach him a lesson even if they did not kill Zhou Yue.
Even if Zhou Yue was spoiled by Zhou Yun and had a somewhat perverse temperament, he would never take the initiative to provoke the people of the Ten Great Sects.
Zhou Hu can be sure of this.
As Zhou Yue's eldest brother, he knows Zhou Yue's temperament too well.
Bullying the soft and fearing the hard has not changed since childhood.
It is precisely this kind of temperament that has enabled the perverse Zhou Yue to be safe and sound until now.
Because, Zhou Yue will never provoke the existence that he can't afford to provoke.
For example: the Martial Palace, as well as the Martial Palace Trade Union, the North Youcheng City Lord's Mansion.
These are all existences that Zhou Yue never provokes.
But Zhou Yue just went to Thunder Lion Ridge once, wanting to capture a lion cub and dedicate it to Zhou Yun on his birthday.
But how can you provoke an existence that you can't afford to provoke.
And the strongest Thunder Lion in Thunder Lion Ridge is only a mid-stage monk of the Smelting Crystal Realm, and Zhou Yue can't beat it even if he is discovered. It is still possible to escape.
And the Thunder Lion Ridge is just a branch of the Thunder Yuan Mountain Range, and there is a Thunder Lion equivalent to the Crystal Smelting Realm Cultivator, which is already very unexpected. But how could there be an existence that could threaten Zhou Yue's life.
As for those powerful cultivators who could threaten Zhou Yue's life, they should all be looking for the Flame King inheritance in the Thunder Yuan Mountain Range.
It should be, don't go to Thunder Lion Ridge to find the Flame King inheritance.
After all, there was nothing surprising about Thunder Lion Ridge except for the fierce and abnormal demon beast like Thunder Lion.
"Big brother has finally found you, I got a bad news about Lao Jiu. ”
Suddenly, just when Zhou Hu walked out of the beautiful woman's courtyard in confusion and strolled through a quiet scripture in Zhou's mansion.
An anxious voice suddenly came from the front.
Hearing this, Zhou Hu looked up at the person who spoke.
His complexion changed slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes.
"Say!"
Gently spit out a word, his eyes showing a palpitating edge like a sword, and looked at the person who spoke.
"Thunder Demon, also went to Thunder Lion Ridge. ”
