Chapter 744: Qianlong returns
Xu Ning was a little annoyed, but not because of the rain.
The Xu family has now become a ruin, but fortunately, there are still a lot of industries, and it is not a problem to settle down temporarily. It is enough for Xu Tianyang, Xu Qing and others to take care of them inside and out, and Xu Ning is also idle.
"Brother Xu Ning, the letters to several other family heads have been sent out, and it is estimated that they will be withdrawn one after another within ten days." Xu Tianyang was almost busy, and came to Xu Ning in the courtyard of the second-story residence.
In the somewhat broken pavilion, a small stove has been lit, and a few simple dishes are placed on the table, but what attracts Xu Ning is actually the wine that is being heated on the stove.
"Tianyang, do you think it's appropriate to do this?" Xu Ning asked with a sigh.
"Why do you ask?"
"When we were fighting for the position of patriarch together, I had hatred with Tianhu, Tianbao, Tianbiao and others, not to mention my uncles, the position of the patriarch was theirs, and now the Xu family is in danger, and they ......"
"Brother Xu Ning, I think you're too worried!" Xu Tianyang smiled and said: "Anyway, they are all members of the Xu family, and they should be unanimous in their appearance when they encounter danger, and this awareness should still be there." ”
"Really?" Xu Ning smiled bitterly and said: "This sentence is a bit of a slap in the face, you forgot it, I just drove away all the waste of those branches, didn't I say that if you go outside, you must first settle inside?" Wouldn't it be ...... to let them come back now?"
"Brother Xu Ning, it's too unfair for you to say that." Xu Tianyang picked up the wine jug from the stove, it was just warm, and the aroma of the wine followed the tilted wine jug like a wine glass.
"Oh? What do you want to say? ”
Xu Tianyang put down the wine jug and said: "Actually, I know what you think, it's not that you expect them to come back to help, but that you're worried that they will be plotted and persecuted outside!" Even if they have a conflict with you, they are from the Xu family after all. It was branded with the Xu family. ”
Xu Ning picked up the wine glass and drank it all!
"I hope they understand! Come back as far as you can! ”
After infighting, among the remaining direct lines of the Xu family, the most important ones are Xu Ning's father's brothers and uncles.
The Xu family is still prosperous, but Xu Wuyan and his four sons went out. Xu Ning's father's generation also has Xu Wuchen, Xu Wuyuan, Xu Wuji, Xu Wudao, Xu Wuru, Xu Wufeng, Xu Wuyu is the eighth uncle is dead, and his father Xu Lie is the ninth child, and he has no confidence at all, but Xu Ning still doesn't believe that he is dead.
In his own generation, in addition to Xu Ruyan is a woman, the rest are Xu Tianhu, Xu Tianbao, Xu Tianbiao and Xu Tianqing, these people have all appeared in the competition for the position of patriarch, among which Xu Tianqing has become a waste. The rest of Xu Tianbao and Xu Tianbiao do not have a good relationship with Xu Ning.
But Xu Tianhu, this person is very special, and Xu Ning can't guess him.
"You don't have to accompany me, do your best to settle the people of the Xu family." Xu Ning said with a sigh.
"Okay, anyway, I'll do my best to inform them of this matter, Brother Xu Ning, you can rest early." Xu Tianyang knew that Xu Ning was in a bad mood. I hurried away.
The rain was pouring down, but the fire was burning in the pavilion. This contrast also made Xu Ning feel calm. It's as if you have to make the exact opposite choice.
It is said that I haven't had a good drink for a long time, and I should be very interested at this time, but when I drink it, it is just a kind of warm boiled water, which is tasteless.
"It's very interesting, pour yourself a drink here."
Sound comes to the ear. Like a storm, as soon as Xu Ning turned around, Qianlong and the white fox had already appeared behind him!
"You two...... Can't you show up for once? Xu Ning said with a little excitement.
"Anything will be discovered." Qianlong sat down and shook off the rain from her body, and the elf magic arranged a very strange rain cover around her body, not even a single hair was wet. All the rain is floating on the surface of the body.
"I'm so hungry, what do you have to eat?" The white fox was covered in water, and shook it vigorously, and a mist of water appeared around it, and it squatted close to the stove.
"It's been ready for you a long time ago, and it's still hot." Xu Ning stood up and took out a food box from the other end of the pavilion and said, "This is what I bought from Shangguan Yunyan's shop, although it is not exquisite, it is definitely safe." ”
"What, you're worried that someone is poisoning?" Qianlong smiled.
"I'm not afraid of poison, if it's something else, it's going to be troublesome. It's a special time, and I have to guard against it. Xu Ning said.
"It seems that the matter in Qingfeng City has been almost settled." The white fox jumped up, bit a fish from the food box, and crouched next to the stove.
"It's quite smooth, even if there are hidden spies, it won't become a big climate." Xu Ning looked at the rain outside, lowered his voice and asked, "How is it, what did you find out?" ”
"You're really impatient." Qianlong had just eaten two bites of something and said, "I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”
Xu Ning had to wait patiently, and Qianlong didn't eat much, but it was very slow.
In order to take care of the taste of the elves, Xu Ning asked Shangguan Yunyan to prepare the best ingredients, which were hardly processed.
Qianlong ate a stick of incense for a while, and seemed quite satisfied.
"Now you can say it!" Xu Ning asked eagerly.
"Hmm." Qianlong smiled slightly, and said: "The results found out are similar to what you expected, but it is not the so-called Star Dynasty, let alone the Central Continent Empire, but the Chiba family in the Eastern Continent Empire!" ”
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and his brows were immediately tightened!
"The Chiba family!?"
Before this, Xu Ning planned many possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be the Chiba family!
It is not difficult to guess who can unleash such a strange power, and it is specifically aimed at Qingfeng City. The first thing Xu Ning thought of was the people of the Dongzhou royal family, he was Xuanyuan Duba, and he became a cripple, how could he spare himself as a high-ranking royal family? The second thing that came to mind was Du Hao and the power represented behind him, but Du Hao was already dead, and those who had an enmity with him were not strong enough to directly attack Qingfeng City. There are other forces, but Xu Ning can't be sure.
At the Chengbei Cemetery Station, I met Sha Zhengyuan and confirmed that it was related to the Xingchen Dynasty.
But the result of Qianlong's tracking this time turned out to be the Chiba family!
Then there is only one conclusion, the Chiba family betrayed the Dongzhou Imperial Family, and cooperated with the Star Dynasty, such a legendary evil force!
If it were really them, civil strife in the entire Dongzhou Empire was inevitable.
The Chiba family has always been the most important military force in the Dongzhou Empire, and the entire Chiba Castle is named after this family. In order to turn all the members of the family with bloodline into war machines, a cruel elimination method was chosen, and those who were born with defects were abandoned.
The strange female tribe is one of them, Xu Ning destroyed them with his own hands, but he also understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"The people of the Chiba family do this, they have also been slaves for many years, but they are slaves to power." Xu Ning said with a sigh.
The white fox raised his head, didn't seem to pay attention to Xu Ning's words, and asked, "You have already used the power of the Five Elements Battle Armor, right?" ”
Xu Ning nodded.
"If that's the case, it is estimated that the people of the Chiba family should also know that a new kind of combat power has appeared on the Soul Continent, and they will attack it soon."
"Oh, why do you say that?"
The white fox didn't speak, but looked at Qianlong.
"Let me explain!" "This tracking is not only to find the other party's behind-the-scenes lair, but the white fox has also infiltrated them and discovered a bigger secret. ”
"What is it?"
"A member of the Demon Clan!"
"Demons? Wasn't it long gone! ”
"How many times have human beings been wiped out in the history of the Soul Continent, and aren't they still the largest race?" Qianlong said coldly, "In this way, it will explain why the demon clan's spells appear on the bodies of those hidden cultivators." ”
"It was really unexpected." Xu Ning didn't have the heart to drink, and his brows furrowed.
"However, there are not many members of the demon race, many of them are necromancers, and the methods they use are not very magical, at least in the eyes of our elven race, it is very ordinary."
"Elves and demons are good at using magic, I know that."
"But what you don't know is that the method of controlling zhì hermitage is actually very similar to the zombie white worm, which is a kind of thing called soul evil. However, the method is complicated to use, first the person must die, and then the soul must be raised. ”
"Is it necessary? Wouldn't it be better to call directly! Xu Ning said coldly.
"Not everything has to be solved by fighting, and this method is more intimidating, isn't it?" Qianlong said.
"I don't deny it."
"I'm still saying that, you'd better be prepared, the demons' reaction is very fast, and they are very similar to the elves people. You used the power of the Five Elements Battle Armor, and you simply informed the other party again, I am your worst enemy, come to fight me! The white fox was full, licked his lips and said.
"It's been exposed anyway, so let them come!" Xu Ning said with a sneer.
Qianlong seemed to want to say something, but looking at Xu Ning's attitude, he didn't speak.
The white fox continued: "There is no change in the other cities along the way, it seems that the war is still in a state of germination, and the more preparations you make, the better." ”
"I've asked the people of the four major families to strengthen Qingfeng City's defenses together." Xu Ning said.
"Let's hope this battle comes sooner!" The white fox said, "I'm a little annoyed. ”
"Oh, why do you think so?" Xu Ning asked strangely.
Qianlong smiled and said, "If the lion has been nesting in the body of a cat every day, don't you feel very uncomfortable?" ”
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, then understood what Qian Long meant, and looked at the white fox in surprise.
"Xu Ning, you know that your eyes are very obscene." The white fox said.
"It's okay, I like it!" (To be continued......)
