"What." In a villa area of Yejia Manor in Shanghai, a middle-aged man with a combed hair and a somewhat fat figure was very surprised after receiving a call from his subordinates.

"A few of them haven't heard from each other, are they dead?" The middle-aged man said with a gloomy face.

This middle-aged man is Ye Jianxing of the Ye family in Shanghai, and he is the acting patriarch of the current Ye family, as for his father Ye Xingguo, because of his age, he gave some of the power in his hands to Ye Jianxing.

Normally, Ye Xingguo is still at the helm of big things, and if he deals with some small things on weekdays, it is Ye Jianxing who handles them.

Ye Quannai is the son of Ye Jianxing's third uncle's family, and Ye Jianxing is a cousin, and he is a descendant of the Ye family, but he was killed by a woman in Dongjiang City.

Not only is it as simple as dying, but his identity is also exposed because of Ye Zifeng's relationship.

The Ye family is one of the six major families in China, and the descendants of the disciples were killed, if their Ye family does not kill the real murderer, then what is the face of the Ye family.

What's more, it was a woman who killed the Ye family, and this revenge must be avenged.

Because there were a lot of things involved, they couldn't blatantly kill Lei Ting, so they had to get rid of Lei Ting secretly, but the four guest elders sent there was no news when they entered the Dongjiang River.

Maybe it's dead now.

There are more than a dozen guest elders like the Ye family, who stay in the Ye family on weekdays, and the Ye family spends money to provide them with cultivation resources, the purpose is to let them protect the Ye family and do something for the Ye family.

Of course, these elders will be treated differently according to their strength.

The average elder is also in the middle of the yellow level, and if the strength is higher, it is the late stage of the yellow level, as for the master of the Xuan level, it is very difficult to invite him as an elder.

Let's talk about the Ye family, there are a total of three Xuan-level elders, and these three are still in the early stage of the Xuan-level, and they enjoy very high treatment in the Ye family.

Among the four guest elders sent to Dongjiang City this time, two of them were in the late stage of the yellow level, and two of them were in the middle of the yellow level, such a combination, they did not come back, Ye Xingguo, as the acting patriarch of the Ye family, was naturally quite angry.

"Could it be that old ghost of the Ji family, it's impossible, he's already a waste, could it be Yang Tai, this is even more unreasonable." Ye Jianxing frowned and said, "Is it a beggar?" This beggar gang is now in civil strife, and let's do it for a small person, is it the woman named Lei Ting? ”

The disappearance of the four elders without news is still a little blow to the Ye family, so let's let it go first, now is the time for the imperial court election, and the imperial court election is important.

The general election of the imperial court is a time when the five major families are vying for power openly and secretly, and whoever supports them can win the general election, then after the general election, the benefits obtained secretly will be great.

For example, if a policy that is beneficial to the family business is disclosed to a certain family in advance, then the family will occupy the market opportunity in advance.

This time, the Ye family and the Xia family secretly united, planning to operate the imperial court election together, and after the election, the interests of both sides will be divided equally.

"Dad, the four of them who went to Dongjiang City, Elder Ba, haven't they heard from them yet?" Ye Zifeng walked up to Ye Jianxing and asked.

Ye Jianxing frowned and said, "I'm afraid the four of them are gone." ”

"What, it's gone." Ye Zifeng was very surprised.

"Well, let's put this matter aside for a while, and wait until after the imperial court election, and then think of a solution to this matter, our Ye family naturally can't die in vain." Ye Jianxing said with a gloomy face, and then asked Ye Zifeng with a stretched brow: "Zifeng, how is your injury?" ”

Ye Zifeng smiled and said, "Dad, my injuries are almost over, and I will go back to Master in a few days." ”

Ye Zifeng's injury was healed by the Dada Living Buddha of Mount Everest, of course, the Dada Living Buddha is not a Bodhisattva, in order to heal Ye Zifeng, the Ye family has come up with a lot of good things.

However, Ye Zifeng, as a very talented martial artist of the Ye family, it is necessary for the Ye family to make such an investment.

After talking to Ye Jianxing, Ye Zifeng turned around and went back, while walking, thinking about Li Ran, who had seriously injured him, he was faintly angry in his heart, since the four elders had disappeared, it seemed that Li Ran had survived this time.

Boy, keep your life first, and when I go out of the mountain again, Lao Tzu will definitely take your life.

"Damn, it's really cold." Li Ran huddled in a small cave, and next to him there was a bonfire burning, and on top of the bonfire there was an iron jar, and the water in the iron jar was bubbling hot.

The blazing bonfire was blown by the wind, the flames swayed from time to time, and the cold wind blew on Li Ran's body, and suddenly there was a cold flutter.

I picked up the barbecue that was already a little chilly on the side, took a big bite, felt a little cold, and put it on the fire to roast it again.

The place where Li Ran is located is called Bison Valley.

The reason why Li Ran chose this place is because it is said that there have been several pieces of excellent Hetian jade in the Bison Valley, and the best Hetian jade is not cheap in price.

In addition to the excellent Hetian jade produced here, an important reason why Li Ran chose here is that the terrain here is particularly complicated, and ordinary jade miners will not come here.

The Bison Valley is home to a lot of ferocious wildlife, snow leopards, wild boars, and even large wild animals such as bison, which are enough to deter jade pickers.

One of the most important reasons is that because there are few people, Li Ran thinks that the elixir may be found here.

But there is often a huge gap between imagination and reality.

He had been in the Bison Valley for more than a week, but he had not found any so-called elixir at all, as for the jade, he had really found a few pieces, which looked of good quality, but the size was a little smaller, and as for those poor quality jade, he didn't care about it at all.

The steep terrain may be a difficulty for others, but for Li Ran, the terrain here is not difficult at all, after all, he is now a Xuan-level martial artist.

As for the bison, the snow leopard, and the wild boar, these are the wild flavors of his mouth.

The day before yesterday, he killed a bison with his sword, then skinned it by the river, picked up the meat that he thought was delicious, sprinkled it with ingredients, and roasted it.

When Li Ran was in his hometown before, he often hunted wild animals in the mountains and roasted them, so this was not difficult for him at all.

He hadn't eaten bison yet, but it felt pretty good.

As for the illegal thing of hunting wild animals, it is bullshit to him.

In the past few days, he has lived a life that is almost unclothed, and he has drunk blood, because he has not gotten the harvest he wants, and he has traveled a lot in the Bison Valley, and just when he was about to leave the Bison Valley in two days if he did not find anything, it rained all the time.

It's really not possible, go to the snow-capped mountain in the Tianshan Mountains to take a look, if the white-haired female senior is still there, see if there is any elixir he needs, as for the jade road sign under the snow layer, he might as well secretly dig up a few pieces and sell them to make money.

Li Ran is not that kind of pedantic person, since he can't find it here, why bother with so much effort?

Sometimes Li Ran also thinks that he has the spiritual eye to see jade, and it is so difficult to find the best jade in the wild, and those people who gamble on stones on the jade market are no wonder so many people go bankrupt every year because of gambling stones.

Gambling stones should be hyped up by jade merchants.

Sure enough, anything that is stained with gambling words is a lie.

After packing up his things, Li Ran planned to sleep, but just when he had just extinguished the fire and wanted to block the cave with a big stone to prevent any wild beasts from sneaking in at night, he heard the sound of tinkling metal in the buffalo valley where it was raining in the autumn rain.

Someone!
