said that the other three middle-aged people chuckled in their hearts when they heard Mr. Murong's name, but they didn't show anything, but they still put on a posture of gritting their teeth and surging with anger.

About ten minutes later, an old man in his seventies, with a white beard and fluttering ancient wonders, walked in.

This old man looks very good, has a kind of virtuous temperament, and seems to be a man among the gods.

When the Huo family patriarch saw it, his face was full of smiles, and he bowed slightly and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Murong, I'm going to bother you again." ”

Mr. Murong stopped and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing." Huo Jianghai, what's going on? Tell me about it. ”

Huo Jianghai did not delay, and told the doubts in his heart and what happened to the Wang family.

After Mr. Murong heard this, he stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Hehe, this matter is also simple, I will order someone to ask." ”

With that, the man took out a flute from his bosom and put it to his mouth and played it a few times.

After a while, a large dove flew and landed on his shoulder.

The man picked up a pen and paper and wrote some words, which were placed in a small bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet. Then the pigeon was thrown away, and the pigeon flew away.

When everyone saw this, they knew that this man was using a flying pigeon to send a book to inquire into the matter.

This kind of domesticated pigeon communication ability is extremely superb, and it is not something that ordinary people can domesticate. It requires special masters and methods to domesticate, and it is very convenient to use it for communication.

Another twenty or so minutes passed, and the big pigeon just now returned and landed on Mr. Murong's shoulder.

Mr. Murong took off the bamboo tube at the pigeon's feet, took out a note from it, and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, he pondered for a long time, then handed the note to Huo Jianghai and said with a light smile: "I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave for a while first." ”

Without explaining anything, the man strode out of the hall with the dove. One turned around, and the person was gone.

Huo Jianghai was puzzled, picked up the note and read it carefully.

This note is densely packed with many words, and the content of it is a detailed record of Wang Mang's affairs, and even the matter of Wang Mang's diagnosis by Imperial Doctor Zhang is recorded on it.

It can be seen from this that this Mr. Murong is so powerful that he can even find out what happened less than a dozen hours ago.

Huo Jianghai looked at it carefully, and when he saw that Imperial Doctor Zhang had fixed a diagnosis for Wang Mang and said that Wang Mang would not live for more than ten minutes, his face became completely solemn.

stared at Huo Yan with a gloomy face, and said word by word: "Huo Yan, are you sure that person is Wang Mang?" Will you be able to determine his identity? ”

Huo Yan didn't know why the patriarch was suddenly so solemn, he didn't dare to be careless, his body was straight, and he said conclusively: "Patriarch, that person is Wang Mang, there will be no mistake." ”

"Is that so?"

Huo Jianghai's eyes rolled and turned, and when he saw the other three families, his face relaxed, and the poisonous plan came to his heart, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, this is an interesting guy." Maybe 500 taels is 500 taels, just pay them for the time being. ”

"What?"

Huo Yan was stunned, he didn't know why Huo Jianghai changed his face so quickly.

But then he saw Huo Jianghai wink at him, and immediately understood, and did not ask deeply, but said with an annoyed look: "This time it is cheaper than that little animal. is born, and when we arrange it, we will definitely let him return it with interest. ”

After arranging things, Huo Jianghai smiled at the three families and said, "Everyone, my Huo family plans to compromise on this matter for the time being, and then redeem the people first, I don't know what you think?" ”

Seeing Huo Jianghai's compromise, and listening to Huo Yan's gritted teeth just now, the three families concluded that the Huo family would definitely not give up this time, and they would definitely launch a revenge afterwards.

Thinking that Mr. Murong was actually helping the Huo family and doing things for the Huo family, he had an idea in his heart, and replied: "Master Huo, since this is the case, then we have to compromise temporarily, redeem the people first, and then slowly settle the accounts with their Wang family." ”

Huo Jianghai sneered in his heart, and said coldly: "Well, the Wang family is ruthless enough this time to dare to threaten people." Afterwards, we want to give them a sharp counterattack, and it is nothing for us to suffer a loss for the time being. ”

The three of them got up and arched their hands, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first and prepare for the ransom." Master Huo, farewell! ”

With that, the three of them turned around and walked out the door.

Huo Jianghai said to the backs of the three of them: "The three of you go slowly, I will not send it far, by the way, I will say hello to your patriarch on my behalf, and say that my Huo family and you have always been prosperous and falling." ”

It wasn't until the three of them walked away completely that Huo Jianghai showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous plan, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Huo Yan, you have to prepare more money secretly, wait for me to go to the Wang family with you, don't go with the three families." ”

"What? Patriarch, you are going too? That's not going to work. That Wang Mang is purely a reckless man, if he messes around, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? And Patriarch, why did you go in person? And do you need to prepare more silver taels? Could it be that there is a mystery in it? Huo Yan exclaimed.

"Of course there is a mystery!"

Huo Jianghaiyin said with a smile: "I went this time to meet that Wang Mang. Didn't you see Mr. Murong leaving in a hurry just now? Do you know why? ”

"For what?" Huo Yan hurriedly asked.

"For something earth-shattering."

Huo Jianghai showed a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "We know the ability of Imperial Doctor Zhang of the Taiyi Hall, he diagnosed Wang Mang yesterday, and said that Wang Mang will definitely not live for more than ten minutes.

Think about it, he has this kind of diagnosis, so how bad can it be? And that Wang Mang has always been seriously ill, and it is difficult to even get out of bed, which is absolutely true. Now that Wang Mang is still alive and well, he seems to have recovered from a serious illness, isn't this a big problem?

The reason why Mr. Murong left in a hurry was precisely to investigate the matter. In this world, who else can do it except the "Tianyang Valley" miracle doctor who has the unpredictable ability to reverse life and death?

Therefore, we can almost conclude that it must be the people of the "Tianyang Valley" who cured Wang Mang's disease. However, the people of "Tianyang Valley" are extremely mysterious and have a very high prestige. If they go out of the mountains, how can the general trend of the world remain unchanged?

Now that the Wang family seems to have something to do with them, they went out of the mountain to treat Wang Mang in time, how can we not pay attention to it? We must investigate this matter clearly, and we must not act rashly.

If we can use the line of the Wang family to build a relationship with the "Tianyang Valley", it will be of great benefit to us. As for the Sun family, let's not tell them about it, let them fight with the Wang family. We secretly lit the fire and finally enjoyed it, and it was a good thing for us. So what's the point of compensating a little money and losing some face for the time being? ”

Hearing this explanation, Huo Yan suddenly realized and exclaimed: "I see, the patriarch is still wise, otherwise we would have almost made a big mistake." If you anger the people of Tianyang Valley, I am afraid that no matter how big and strong our Huo family is, we will not be able to withstand their suppression. ”

"That is, as long as the people of Tianyang Valley open their mouths, how many families in the world dare not give face? They are known as living immortals, although they can't make people immortal, but their medical skills can still prolong people's lives for a few years. There are a lot of people in the world who are afraid of death, and they all wish they could get in touch with Tianyang Valley and sell a benefit. ”

Huo Jianghai also secretly said that he was lucky, and felt that he was fortunate not to be impulsive, but to grasp every small link.

"Huo Yan, you can arrange the matter of going to the Wang family in person, don't let the news leak out. This time, we will definitely calculate the Sun family to death, and then annex them in one fell swoop. In this way, we can safely suppress the rest of the families, such as the Wei family and the royal family, and the throne will be at our fingertips. ”

"Yes, patriarch, I'll go down and make arrangements!"

Huo Yan received the order and left in a hurry.

After the three members of the Sun family left the Huo family, they also went back to their respective families to report the views of the Huo family.

When the patriarchs of the three families heard that Mr. Murong was helping the Huo family, their faces were gloomy and very ugly.

Behind Mr. Murong is the Murong family, not a nobleman of the imperial court, but a martial arts family of rivers and lakes.

This family is almost as famous as the Shangguan family in its heyday, and its strength is extremely strong. They help the Huo family, which means that the Huo family has an important arm. It is very beneficial for achieving great things.

Now that the heads of the three families heard that the Huo family had temporarily compromised and wanted to ransom people with money, they all felt that the Huo family would definitely not suffer this loss in vain, and they would definitely take revenge fiercely afterwards, otherwise wouldn't it be a decoration to get the help of the Murong family?

Thinking that the Huo family was likely to retaliate in a short period of time, the heads of the three families were also nervously planning, secretly dispatching troops and paying attention to the movements of the Huo family and the Wang family.

Three hours passed in a flash, and the four families also reached an agreement, and they all obediently took the money to ransom people, suffered a dumb loss for the time being, and settled the general account in the future.

Because the Huo family had other calculations, the Sun family, the Yang family, and the Zhang family were the first to arrive, pay the money, and ransom the people back.

Wang Mang took the ransom and sneered in his heart, anyway, he would have to run away in a short time, wouldn't it be better to have money now?

The Huo family spies have been secretly paying attention to the movements of the Sun, Zhang, and Yang families, and when they learned that the three of them had paid the money to redeem the people and had left the Wang family, they walked out of the shadows and carried two sedan chairs into the gate of the Wang family.

Wang Mang saw that the Huo family did not come, and was thinking about whether to kill the Huo family.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I could hear someone tell me that someone from the Huo family had arrived. I was happy in my heart, and there were five hundred taels in the secret way.

The Huo family came to the courtyard where Wang Mang lived, and Huo Yan walked out of one of the sedan chairs and carried the ransom silver into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Huo Yan looked around, and saw that there were still some people from the Wang family, so he couldn't help but whisper to Wang Mang: "Can you let your family retreat first?" I have other things to discuss with you. ”

When Wang Mang heard this, he took a deep look at Huo Yan, got up and said, "Okay, you wait for a while." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and walked towards Shangguan Ningxuan's house.

He was afraid that the Huo family would be uneasy and kind, and he wanted to pull Guan Ningxuan, a martial arts master, into the town. lest once something happens, you will suffer a big loss if you can't protect yourself.

Shangguan Ningxuan heard the situation, but she was also happy to see what the Huo family wanted to do, and went to the hall together.
