One of the three major families in Ningcang County, the Huang family.

The Huang family is located in the south of Ningcang County, the mansion is huge, the carved beams and painted buildings, the mountains and rivers are covered, there are hundreds of flowers blooming inside, the green bamboo is swaying, and it is beautiful.

At this moment, Huang Yan was kneeling in the Huang family's meeting hall, and above him was the current head of the Huang family, that is, Huang Yan's grandfather Huang Zonglei.

On the left and right of Huang Zonglei are more than a dozen sandalwood chairs lined up, all of which are full of people, all of whom are now in power of the Huang family, all of whom are seniors in the clan, at least one generation higher than Huang Yan, and they control huge power in their hands.

"Grandpa, you must call the shots for me. Huang Yan's face was red and swollen, his body was covered with blood, his expression was languishing, and he cried: "That Fang Zhong is really too hateful, I don't say anything about beating me for no reason, and I don't take our Huang family in my eyes at all, it's really arrogant." ”

"Hmph, shut up!" Huang Zonglei, the head of the Huang family, who was sitting in the first place, frowned, snorted coldly, and scolded: "Don't think I don't know anything, if you didn't scold the little girl of the Fang family, you wouldn't have provoked Fang again." ”

Huang Yan's face changed, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it from his grandfather, so he suddenly put on a pitiful appearance and cried: "Grandpa, I just said that little girl was crippled, and I didn't really hurt her, but Fang Zhong completely ignored your face and beat me to a serious injury, isn't this contempt for you?"

He knew that he was at a loss, so he deliberately diverted what he was doing, and maliciously slandered Fang Chong, wanting to arouse Huang Zonglei's anger.

There are three major families in Ningcang County, the Wang family is the first, and the Huang family and the Li family are tied.

And in the past two years, the Fang family (that is, the Fang Chong family) in the north gate has risen rapidly, and the Wang family, as the first family, naturally does not have to worry, but the Huang family and the Li family are different, the two of them are side by side, and the open and secret battles have hurt their vitality over the years, and if the Fang family rises, the two of them will be a little dangerous.

When the three major families become the four major families, it will not be a good thing for the Huang family and the Li family.

Huang Zonglei frowned slightly, silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and the others were all looking at their noses and noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts, looking like they were out of the way.

After a long time, Huang Zonglei looked at Huang Yan and said, "I already know the matter, you go down, don't provoke the people of the Fang family in the future." ”

"What?" Huang Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa, my grandson, I was seriously injured, is that it?"

"What else can you do, do you still want to fight back?" Huang Zonglei snorted coldly, "Who do you think Fang Zhong is, not to mention his identity in the Red Tiger Army, even his own strength has probably reached the realm of a first-class martial artist, don't you think it's shameful enough?"

"I ....."

"Okay, don't say it, don't provoke the Fang family in the future, otherwise if Fang Zhong really wants to kill you, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it." Huang Zonglei waved his hand to interrupt and said no more, Huang Yan could only shut up sullenly, turned around and walked outside.

When Huang Yan walked away, the people in power of the Huang family in the hall opened their eyes together and looked at Huang Zonglei, and the doubts in their eyes were self-evident.

Huang Zonglei sighed silently: "I know what you mean, but Fang Zhong can't be suppressed anymore, and the rise of the Fang family can't be stopped..."

Everyone in the hall was startled and suddenly became even more silent.

At the same time, there was joy in the Fang family's mansion, and the sound of laughter echoed in the courtyard, which could be heard from afar.

Lan Shi looked at his son, who was already one meter eight in front of him, stretched out his hand, and found that he couldn't touch Fang Chong's hair anymore, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "Chong'er, my mother really doesn't know what to say, the happiest thing for me in this life is to have a son like you." ”

As he spoke, Lan's eyes were looking at the snow goose, and the smile on his face was about to melt.

Embarrassed by the Lan family, Xue Yan lowered her head, her face flushed, and said, "Xue Yan has seen her aunt, and I have heard Fang Zhong say that you are beautiful and kind before, but now I see that it is true." ”

"Did I say that?" Fang Chong muttered to himself in his heart, and secretly gave a thumbs up to the snow goose: "I didn't see that your mouth is so sweet." ”

"Hmph, there's so much more you don't know. Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and responded secretly, but she took the initiative to approach Lan's family, took out a sandalwood box, and said: "Auntie, this is a little bit of caution from Xue Yan, you must accept it, just as I honor you." ”

"Okay, I'll take it, hehe, you kid is really good at coaxing people. The Lan family did not shirk, and regarded it as a daughter-in-law's filial piety in his heart, and he was at ease with his heart.

With gifts as a foil, Xue Yan and Lan quickly became familiar with each other, and you and I almost completely left Fang Zhong aside.

In this regard, Fang Zhong could only smile bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "This time it is really impossible to explain, forget it, take one step at a time." ”

Soon, the little girl Fang Yu also joined the ranks of the Lan family and Xue Yan, the three women in one play, it was really not a lie, this time there was no place for Fang Zongqing, even Fang Zongqing could only stand aside and stare dryly, unable to interject, at most he laughed twice.

The more the three women talked, the happier they became, talking their own words.

When he heard that Snow Goose was the centurion of the Red Tiger Army, Lan was shocked, and it took him a long time to recover.

......

The next few days are very lively, at this time it is approaching the New Year, there is a lot of traffic everywhere, people come and go, and they are enthusiastic about doing New Year's goods.

Fang's house is also full of lanterns, lanterns are hung high, and the atmosphere of the New Year is fully revealed.

In the yard, Fang Zhong is hanging lanterns with his family and snow geese, hanging the finished lanterns on the treetops, and then adding a candle to it, which is very beautiful.

That's when —

The sound of tom tom's hooves came from far and near, rushing quickly, obviously there were a lot of them, connected into a piece, and passed into the Fang family's mansion.

"What's going on?" Fang Chong's heart moved, he came down from the treetops, looked at the door and frowned: "There are so many horses there at this time?"

"I don't know, let's go out and have a look. Snow Goose approached Fang Chong's side, and the two glanced at each other before walking out the door at the same time.

Outside the Fang family's mansion, a team of cavalry stood in a forest, with armor and spears, and the aura of slaughter was very strong, making several strong-clad guards tremble in their hearts and be very nervous.

There are dozens of these people, all of whom are covered by armor, and they can't see clearly, but from the armor and equipment on their bodies, they can know that they are an army, and they are not ordinary troops. The armor has an imprint on it, which is the symbol of the Red Tiger Army of Zhaonan County.

Walking to the front of the door, he was shocked, the Red Tiger Army should be resting at this time, but there are so many people here, something big must have happened.

Brush!

Seeing Fang Zhong come out, a group of Red Tiger Army soldiers immediately jumped off their horses, and saluted in unison: "Meet Lord Qianhu." ”

"Well, get up. Fang Chongyi waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Back to my lord, there is an abnormality in the endless mountains, it seems to be very serious, all the brothers who have been on vacation have been called back, and they rushed to Yinlong Town together, and the lord of the capital is outside the county seat, and he specially asked his subordinates to inform the lord. One of the knights came out and said.

"What, there was an abnormality in the Endless Mountain, and even Lord Dutong came in person?" Fang was shocked, and glanced at Xue Yan, both of whom understood the seriousness of the problem.

The Endless Mountain is very mysterious, when he left, Fang Zhong felt that the Endless Mountain could not be peaceful, the Demon Cave would not be peaceful, the sarcophagus would not be silent, something would happen after all.

Now it seems that his hunch is not wrong, there is indeed an anomaly in the endless mountain, and it is likely to be caused by the sarcophagus.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhong ordered everyone to wait, and turned around with Xue Yan and went back to the mansion.

The stakes were very high, and although it was approaching the New Year, they had to leave immediately, so after hurriedly bidding farewell to the Lan clan and the others, the two of them stepped on their horses.

Ningcang County, outside the county seat.

The war horses were galloping, the flags were waving, and tens of thousands of Red Tiger troops gathered outside the county seat of Ningcang, which looked extremely shocking from a distance, like a long dragon.

Fang Zhong took the snow goose and quickly entered the army, and did not stop all the way, until he came to the front of Dutong Qi Chongwu.

The two dismounted and knelt on one knee: "Meet Lord Dutong." ”

Qi Chongwu waved his hand, his expression was solemn, and said: "Get up, don't be polite, now the military affairs are urgent, you will follow me, and we will discuss the military situation while we are on the road." ”

Saying that, Fang Zhong and Xue Yan turned over their horses and followed Qi Chongwu's side, just like them, the other nine thousand households of the First Army, as well as some centurions, also followed Qi Chongwu's side, everyone was not too far away, and while marching quickly, they discussed the matter of the Endless Mountain.

Half an hour later, Fang Chong finally understood what was going on, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

This time the matter was very serious, and it came very suddenly, without any warning at all, the hunters of Yinlong Town were still hunting in the mountains the day before, and the next day disaster occurred.

According to people in the know, three days ago, a terrifying demon cloud suddenly erupted in the endless mountain, a darkness, covering the sky and the sun, so that thousands of miles of radius were shrouded in darkness, and countless brute beasts were all crazy, running in all directions, forming a terrifying beast tide.
