Section 279 Finding Allies (Subscription Requested)
As soon as Wen Hao and the others left, a figure flew from a distance, stopping at the place where the black shadow was standing just now, this person was an old man dressed in pale yellow linen, and his whole body exuded an ordinary and approachable and friendly atmosphere, but his scorching gaze showed that his strength was unfathomable. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
The old man turned his head and glanced around, then moved his gaze to the direction where the black shadow had disappeared, snorted, and quickly shot into the distance again.
"Commander, brothers have found that there are people in the city who are asking for news about us. Lei Jun walked into Wen Hao's room and said with a somewhat gloomy face.
"Who is it?" Wen Hao smiled at him.
Lei Jun was specially transferred by Wen Hao from Guannan to this Gaoyang City Branch, because he was the only person other than Wu Yong who had a delicate mind and could stand alone.
"It's someone from the Lion Tiger Mercenary Regiment. Lei Jun said in a deep voice.
"Oh, they finally found it?" Hearing the Lion Tiger Mercenary Group, Wen Hao immediately thought of the team of mercenaries who wanted to surrender and hand over the secret recipe of the potion in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, but he didn't expect that almost a year had passed, and the other party actually came to him.
"I'm afraid the other side already knows that we killed their people. Lei Jun said in a deep voice again.
"What if you know?" Wen Hao smiled indifferently, if before, he was still a little worried when he talked about the Lion Tiger Mercenary Group, after all, the other party had three Sword Emperor masters, but now, he was not afraid at all, he was iron and bloody, and now he also had three Sword Emperors, and he would not lose to the Lion Tiger Mercenary Group at all, if it really started, it was really hard to say who won and who lost.
After thinking about it, Wen Hao said again: "Since the other party is still investigating, it seems that they are not sure that we killed the people, since this is the case, you can take a few brothers to get rid of all of them in Gaoyang City, and tell them with facts that their people were indeed killed by us, I want to see what they can do to us?"
After a pause, Wen Hao continued: "Remember to be clean, after all, the Xue family is the master here, and we have to give them a little face." β
"This ......" It turned out that Lei Jun still felt that it was inappropriate and wanted to persuade Wen Hao, but thinking about Wen Hao's character and the current strength of iron and blood, he swallowed the words back, and immediately nodded: "Understood." β
Seeing the hesitation that flashed on Lei Jun's face just now, Wen Hao laughed and said: "Lei Jun, you have to remember that our current iron and blood is no longer the iron and blood of the past, and there is no need to be a man with his tail between his legs like before. β
"Thank you for the teachings of the regiment commander, Lei Jun will be restrained, and he will not weaken my iron-blooded prestige. A flash of firmness flashed in Lei Jun's eyes, and he said.
"Good. Wen Hao nodded, remembered the heavenly wolf who was still in Guannan, and said again: "You go to the pharmacy here to see if there is any Red Flame Fruit, and help me buy one back." β
"Okay. Lei Jun nodded, and then exited the room, and Wen Hao also began to refine the energy that was sucked out of Xue Junjie's body today.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Zhihong hurriedly came to the branch of Iron Blood in Gaoyang, although Wen Hao did not tell him about this place, but with his status as a dignified city lord, if he couldn't even find out this, he would not have the face to be this city lord again.
Wen Hao's expression was a little haggard, and when he came to the living room with the support of the iron sword, Xue Zhihong, who was already sitting here accompanied by Lei Jun, saw Wen Hao, immediately stood up and asked with concern: "I heard that Brother Wen was blocked by a strong man on the way back yesterday, and he should have come over yesterday, but he thought that his brother should need time to rest, so he came today, I'm really sorry." β
With the two consecutive treatments, Xue Junjie's body is getting better and better, and the relationship between the Xue family and Iron Blood is also rising, and now Xue Zhihong is even more self-surrendering and calling Wen Hao a brother, although it is just a change in title, but if you really understand the reason, then you can understand what it means, which means that in the future, the Xue family and Iron Blood will be hardcore allies.
"There's Brother Lao Xue. Wen Hao arched his hand to Xue Zhihong and thanked him gratefully.
"Why should we be so polite between brothers. Xue Zhihong waved his hand, and then his face became gloomy again: "Junjie's poisoning, we have found out, it was done by the Huang family, another wealthy family in the city, presumably that person yesterday was also from the Huang family." β
"Huang family?" Wen Hao was puzzled: "Why do they want to harm your son, do you have a grudge?"
"It's not a grudge, but there are a lot of grievances. Xue Zhihong said in a deep voice: "In this Gaoyang City, in addition to our Xue family, the Huang family is the only wealthy family, the two families have existed for two or three hundred years, and since the appearance of the two families, they have been competing for the position of the city lord of Gaoyang City, each has its own wins and losses, and the position of the city lord is also passed between our two families." β
"It's just that fifty years ago, there was a civil strife in the Huang family, which was originally equal to our strength, which weakened the strength of the family a lot, and since then there is no strength to take away the position of the city lord from our Xue family, but after decades of recuperation, the strength of the Huang family has now been restored, and our Xue family ......."
Saying that, Xue Zhihong sighed heavily and said: "I believe that Brother Wen also knows that there are only me and Meng Lin in our Xue family's generation, and the next generation, not to mention, only Junjie is alone, and his body is still ......."
"In this situation, our Xue family has been suppressed by the growing Huang family over the years, but I didn't expect that the Huang family would start calculating ten years ago, and now with the revelation of Junjie's poisoning, the Huang family will definitely not wait any longer, and I am afraid that I will have to do something to my Xue family at that time." β
"Since the strength of the Huang family was greatly damaged due to civil strife fifty years ago, why don't you take the opportunity to suppress it?" Wen Hao frowned and asked, a fight between families like this is definitely the most cruel, as long as there is a chance, the other party will never be revived, so Wen Hao feels that the Huang family is still strange.
"Why don't we want to destroy the Huang family and let our Xue family be the only one, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, if the two sides fight hard, although they can be destroyed, our strength will also be greatly damaged, and then we will not be able to suppress other forces, but it is other forces that will get benefits." Xue Zhihong said helplessly.
Nodding, Wen Hao understood that there were always a lot of scruples about doing things in a big family like this, and in this Gaoyang City, although the Xue and Huang families were the most powerful, there were still some forces that were suppressed by them, and if the forces of the Xue and Huang families decreased, those forces would inevitably take the opportunity to take the lead.
After a pause, Xue Zhihong continued: "In addition to this, there is one biggest reason, in addition to the royal Jin family, there are four major families in our Ming Imperial Kingdom, they are Zhou, Wang, Yu, and Hai, the strength of these four families is very strong, in addition to the royal Jin family, they are the strongest, and other forces must be attached to them if they want to survive in the Ming Imperial Kingdom." β
"And the Huang family is attached to the Hai family, if we take the liberty of destroying the Huang family and annoying the Hai family, they will inevitably take revenge on us, and then we are afraid that we will not be far from destruction. β
"Then which family are you Xue attached to?" Wen Hao asked curiously, these things were not strange to him, this world was originally where the strong survived, and the weak depended on the strong, and the previous Wen family also had many dependent forces.
"We are attached to the royal family. Xue Zhihong's voice was a little low, and it was not very glorious to say that he was dependent on others to survive.
"What is the relationship between the Wang family and the Hai family?" Wen Hao frowned and thought about it, and asked.
"It's the same fire. Xue Zhihong expressed the relationship between the two families vividly in just a few words.
"Then now that the Huang family wants to make a move against your Xue family, what are you going to do?" From the time Xue Zhihong came here to tell the grievances between them and the Huang family, Wen Hao guessed his true purpose for coming here, and now he had to know more before he could make a final judgment.
"His Huang family actually used poisoning to cause my son to suffer for ten years, and I must avenge this revenge. Xue Zhihong gritted his teeth and said, his fists clenched, and his whole body exuded bursts of coldness.
"But with what you just said, fighting with the Huang family, your Xue family's chances of winning are not great!" Wen Hao tapped his knee and asked indifferently.
Xue Zhihong frowned, it was only at this time that he realized that he seemed to have been guided by the other party since he came here, although he was originally here to form an alliance to seek help, but this passive position made him very unnatural, in this case, talking about an alliance, he will definitely pay more benefits.
But at the same time, Xue Zhihong also understood that if he didn't bring it up today, I was afraid that he wouldn't have a chance in the future, thinking about the strength of the Huang family and the suffering of his children over the years, Xue Zhihong finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: " So I want to ask you to help me, you also know that when you helped my son detoxify, he had already offended the Huang family, if my Xue family was defeated in this battle, there was a possibility that the other party would be exterminated, but in the same way, after solving the great enemy of my Xue family, the Huang family will be dominant in this Gaoyang City, and it will definitely deal with you at that time. β
"And now, if with the strength of our two families, it will not be difficult to destroy the Huang family, and then this Gaoyang City will be our world within a radius of 100 miles. β
"Destroy the Huang family, what will the Hai family behind him do?" Wen Hao didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and he couldn't see joy or anger, but at the same time, he was thinking about whether it was worth offending another big force for the sake of the Xue family.
"Each of the four major families has many dependent forces, and unless these dependent forces have a special relationship with them, they generally don't care. Xue Zhihong pondered for a while, and said: "What's more, we also have a Wang family behind us, although the two families are on the same footing, but they will not fight because of our grievances, after all, the strength of the two forces is almost the same, and there are two Zhou Yu families eyeing each other, and they don't dare to act rashly." β
Wen Hao lowered his head again and pondered, while Xue Zhihong looked at him a little anxiously, if Wen Hao didn't help, their fight with the Huang family would definitely be more auspicious, and even if they won, they probably won't have much strength left, and they can only be swallowed up by other forces in the end.
But now the Huang family is taking the initiative to find trouble, even if the Xue family doesn't want to bump into the other party, there is no way, that will only put them in a more passive situation, so at this time they are ready to send it.
