Chapter 38: The Mystery Man
a day ago.
Just when Chen Mu and the others were still on the way to Qingshui City.
A mysterious person killed the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, and after seriously injuring the three masters of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, he thundered and shouted: "Jiang family, wait for us to be destroyed!"
And then disappear.
"It's not a secret, everyone in Shimu Town heard that rampant laughter, and they all saw the figure of the mysterious man leaving......"
Chen Lei sighed, "When you came back, didn't you find that the Jiang family's eyeliner originally arranged in our Chen family was much less?"
"They are all alert, go back to the Jiang family, and open the prohibition ...... that was laid when the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhenyuan, left."
Chen Mu pondered.
Indeed, when I returned to Shimu Town, I felt that the Jiang family had no movement.
Although they were careful, they could also find that the Jiang family had a lot less eyeliner.
"They thought we did it. ”
Chen Qianling frowned slightly and spoke.
"Shimu Town, nothing more than the three major forces, our Chen family occupies one of them, the great elder and the third elder of the Jiang family are missing, and the children sent out have not returned, they must know that it is to hijack our Chen family's divine spirit fruit, and they have not returned, the biggest suspect is us...... Now the head and deputy head of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment have gone to the Forbidden Mountain Range, and the news was also released by our Chen family, and now they are being attacked......"
Chen Mu nodded.
If this is not suspected of their Chen family, it is impossible.
"So who did it?"
Chen Mu had questions.
"I don't know. Chen Jintian also shook his head, "Mu'er, tell me, will it be...... Zhang's family?"
Chen Mu was stunned.
Zhang Jia, Zhang Yiyi......
Now the Zhang family and the Jiang family are people in the same boat.
If you know that the Jiang family is missing, you also know that the people of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group have gone to the Forbidden Mountain Range.
It is indeed possible to deliberately attack the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group and blame the Chen family.
"I don't know. ”
Chen Mu can only say this.
Father, what they can think of, Chen Mu can naturally think of.
"The Zhang family should not have such a master. ”
Chen Qianling also said.
The three masters who can seriously injure the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group.
I'm afraid that it will be a martial artist at the peak of the Judan Realm to make a move, but the Zhang family does not have such a strong person, or rather, there is no one on the surface.
"No matter what, I suspect that there may be internal ghosts in our Chen family. ”
Chen Lei's words startled both Chen Qianling and Chen Mu.
"Whether it is the Zhang family or the Jiang family, in such a quick time, we just completed the plan and returned to the Chen family, and someone attacked the snow wolf mercenary group that night, which seems to be a little too fast. ”
The Jiang family found that it must have taken two or three days to begin to wonder if the people who went out would not be able to come back.
Unless...... Someone passed the news out at the first time and gave it to the Jiang family or the Zhang family.
Or, not for the Zhang family and the Jiang family......
And know the Chen family's plan this time.
There don't seem to be many people......
Chen Mu knew it in his heart.
No wonder the Presbyterians weren't here either.
But it stands to reason that although there are contradictions within the Chen family, they are all unanimous to the outside world.
That's not the case......
"So, you guys have been careful lately, and you can also observe more, if there are people who are suspicious......"
A fierce look flashed in Chen Lei's eyes.
"Got it. ”
Chen Mu and Chen Qianling both nodded.
After leaving the hall, Chen Mu took a deep breath.
"It seems that as the strength increases, what you didn't need to face before, you have to start facing now......"
Chen Qianling saw Chen Mu's face, and she sighed.
"The question of family struggle is not just a question of dignity, it is a question of survival. ”
Chen Mu was stunned.
Indeed, he became stronger, and at first it was just to get back his lost dignity from Zhang Yiyi.
In fact, after becoming stronger, what you have to bear is not only about yourself, but also about your family.
During this time, he was able to understand it.
Each calculates and does whatever it takes to survive......
The world of martial artists is more cruel than I imagined.
"Actually, I suspect that it may not be the Zhang family or the Jiang family......" Chen Qianling suddenly spoke.
"You mean......" Chen Mu thought of the people in Qingshui City.
"But there's no reason for them to do that. Chen Mu said.
There really is no reason.
Any one of the major families in Qingshui City can destroy the Chen family and the Jiang family.
The Snow Wolf Mercenary Group is backed by the forces of Clear Water City.
Ordinary families will not come to this troubled water, and they will not get any benefits.
So my father thought about it, but he didn't say it. ”
Chen Qianling said, "I haven't said anything about you and the Hu family......
Her beautiful eyes blinked and looked at Chen Mu.
Unconsciously, she found that she had changed from a person who wanted to support Chen Mu to a person who had an equal dialogue with Chen Mu.
Subtly, she also felt that Chen Mu was a person with the same strength as herself......
Chen Mu also noticed this change, and when it came to the Hu family, he could only touch his nose in embarrassment.
"I shouldn't have found it so quickly, and I don't usually find it. ”
There are so many small towns and villages next to Shimizu Castle.
The Hu family definitely didn't expect it to have anything to do with these people......
Chen Qianling smiled slightly and glanced at Chen Mu.
"I'm just waiting for you to get back your dignity, Zhang Yiyi is not worth ......"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then saw Chen Qianling walking away.
He is actually very grateful to Chen Qianling, this cousin, although she is cold on weekdays, she has helped herself a lot, and she also pulled herself in Zhang Yiyi's matter.
"To get stronger. ”
Chen Mu also unconsciously felt a sense of responsibility.
If you don't become stronger, your dignity will be trampled on, and your family will be in constant calculations and struggles.
......
When he returned to his room, he passed by the martial arts training ground and saw Wu Hao.
"Did you send the things?" Wu Hao smiled.
Chen Mu nodded.
He suddenly thought of what his father and Uncle Chen had told him about the ghost inside, and he found that the way he looked at people was not quite right.
I had to hurriedly change the topic.
"By the way, Qingshui City, have you ever heard of an old beggar who kills people when he goes crazy after drinking?"
He had wanted to ask for a long time.
"You met?" Wu Hao was stunned.
"I heard about it when I went to the Golden Gate Chamber of Commerce. ”
"If you encounter it, stay away no matter what...... I've heard about this old man, and it's said that he fought with the lord of Shimizu City, and then the lord left Shimizu City......"
Chen Mu was stunned.
The bottom of the world can be reached, even if he is a martial spirit realm master who is a powerful character in the entire continent, he loses like this?
"But no one knows if you win or lose. Seeing Chen Mu's thoughts, Wu Hao said, "But the Heaven and Earth Sect didn't dare to provoke this old beggar, it all depends on his own mood to kill people, and there are also some ordinary people, he directly helped others open up the dantian and enter the Qi Refining Realm...... Anyway, it's moody, and more often than not, it's crazy, and others are afraid when they see it. ”
"He had a name, which came from nowhere, and said his name was 'Sora'. ”
"Empty?"
"I don't know the specifics, anyway, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion all said that the empty old man. ”
And it is said that he ...... Not a human ......"
"Not human?"
Chen Mu was taken aback, how could he talk more and more mysterious?
"Hehe, these are rumors, but if you encounter them, just run. ”
Wu Hao said with a smile, "I have to go and see the escort team, some brothers have been injured before and are not well, I will go to the family treasure pavilion to get some healing medicine first." ”、
Chen Mu nodded, watching Wu Hao leave, but fell into deep thought.
"The pool can't go back that day. He was sure in his heart that the corpse must have an unknown relationship with the empty old man, and it was better not to provoke it.
And although the rumors are mysterious, they may have a basis.
"Not a human ......"
He could always think of the corpse under the Tianchi, and he didn't even know if it was a corpse, and he didn't know if it was dead or alive.
"Huh?"
During his contemplation, he saw that there seemed to be someone arguing on the martial arts training ground.
It's Chen Tian.
