A fourth-order martial artist died outside Tongyou City, which was a big deal for all the forces gathered in Tongyou City.

It's just that after Shang Ke's initial suspicion, he immediately put it behind him, and waved his big hand: "No matter what he does, let's go, let's go home first!"

Although the merchant's convoy was inexplicably attacked in Tongyou City, in fact, from the beginning to the end, the period was not too long.

Although the attack caused some chaos and losses to the convoy at first, the situation was quickly controlled by the Shang clan.

After the convoy began to move forward, the middle-aged strange man with a long sword that Shang Xia had noticed earlier walked over.

This person's gaze first fell on Shang Xia's body for a moment, and then he looked at Shang Ke and said, "Fifth Uncle, how should Yu Wugou and Qiao Han deal with them?"

Shang Ke waved his hand impatiently and said, "Except for sending the living to Tongyou Academy, you can do the rest!"

The man arched his hand and was about to turn to leave, but was stopped by Shang Ke's mouth.

"Don't go yet!"

Shang Ke greeted him, then looked at Shang Xia beside him, and said, "He is your second uncle, Shang Yan, and he is the son of your grandfather." ”

In fact, when Shang gradually called Shang Ke "Fifth Uncle", although Shang Xia was a little surprised in his heart, he already had some guesses.

When Shang Ke stopped Shang Jian and specially introduced him to Shang Xia, Shang Xia's expression was still calm, and he just shouted "Second Uncle" with a smile and respectfully, and Shang Jian also just nodded out of politeness, and even the smile on his face looked a little reluctant.

This "second uncle" is just called out of politeness, in fact, whether it is Shang Xia who opened his mouth or Shang Jian who was called, there is a sense of alienation between each other.

Shang Xia has been seventeen or eighteen years since he was born, and he has never seen this second uncle before, and he has never even heard anyone talk about it.

"Your second uncle has been away before, and recently heard that there was a big battle between the two realms and the serious injury of Kou Shanchang, and he was worried about the comfort of his family, so he hurried back to Tongyou City from Jizhou. Shang Ke explained briefly.

Shang Xia said: "Uncle Lao is bothered!"

Shang gradually nodded, then looked at Shang Ke and said, "I'll go first!"

With that, he turned around and left.

Shang Ke beside him looked at Shang's back as he gradually moved away, and sighed imperceptibly.

"Aren't you curious? Nothing you want to ask?"

Shang Ke was a little uncomfortable with Shang Xia's silence.

Shang Xia said with a smile: "I should know, you all have to know sooner or later, it is related to the invasion of foreign regions in the past twenty years. Just like my father's affairs, if you don't want to talk about it, I never ask. It's the same thing!"

Shang Ke didn't know how to respond for a moment, and fell into silence for a moment.

The grandfather and grandson followed the convoy back towards the family station, and when they saw the door of the merchant from a distance, Shang Ke suddenly said: "You are a smart child, although you don't ask, I'm afraid you have already guessed a lot in your heart, and you also know that even if you ask, we may not be able to say." ”

Shang Xia smiled and said, "I know very well that all problems are ultimately the reason for the lack of cultivation strength. ”

Shang Ke was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a rather self-deprecating wry smile, and then said: "After this battle, our side seems to have the upper hand in the battle between the two realms, but in fact, it has pushed the situation to a more dangerous situation, so in the next few years, whether it is the Tongyou Academy, the four major families, or the entire Tongyou City, we must do everything possible to increase our own strength to deal with the situation! Therefore, the strength of the family must be concentrated as much as possible." This is not only done by the merchants, but also by the other three major families! And you may have heard that even the college is expanding its enrollment staff!"

Shang Xia's eyes at this time stared at the back of the second uncle in front of him for a few moments, and then he suddenly asked, "Fifth Grandpa, is it because of him or them that my grandfather resigned as the patriarch?"

Shang Ke was stunned for a long time before he said, "Not all, and this is not the main reason." ”

Shang Xia nodded and said, "Understood!"

Shang Xia made a strategy for the Red Cloud Beast under his crotch and accelerated the speed of returning home.

Shang Ke looked at Shang Xia's figure floating on the back of the Red Cloud Beast, and sighed slightly, with a slight hint of distress in his expression.

Shang Xia hadn't come to the door of the merchant before he heard Shang Xi's voice coming from the gate from a distance.

"Shang Yang, I guess you're already back, we were attacked at the intersection of Sancha Street just now, why didn't you kid go?"

Shang Xia saw a young warrior who was not much older than himself from a distance, inserted a folding fan into the back of his neck, and with a begging look, he trotted all the way to Shang Xi's mount, and while helping her to dismount, he made a dog-legged posture, and shouted: "Seventh sister, you have wronged me." In this secluded city, what else can happen to our merchants? Besides, won't the second brother also bring people to rush there? Besides, there must always be someone in the family, isn't it, what if someone else transfers the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Flim Flam!"

Shang Xi waved his hand away from Shang Yang's weak arm, pressed it directly on his shoulder as a fulcrum, and then jumped down from the Red Cloud Beast.

Shang Yang grinned for a while, obviously Shang Xi's handful on his shoulder would definitely not be too light.

"Okay, with the condensation of the will of martial arts, it has not been in vain in the past few years, and it seems that there is still something to gain in the White Deer Blessed Land. ”

After Shang Xi landed, he glanced at Shang Yang beside him with some surprise.

Shang Yang, who originally had a painful expression on his face, immediately changed his expression and said, "Hey, I originally wanted to surprise the seventh sister, by the way, I haven't congratulated the seventh sister on cultivating the same great progress, but now this is the condensation of the second martial arts will, right?"

Shang Xi snorted, squinted at him and said, "You kid has a bad stomach, what kind of surprise, Bacheng wants to show off to me, right? If it weren't for the breakthrough in the two realms of war this time, wouldn't your kid fly to the sky at this time?"

"Where?"

Shang Yang said this in his mouth, but the sneering expression on his face had already betrayed the thoughts in his heart.

"Uncle Nine!"

Shang Xia jumped down from the Red Cloud Beast and walked quickly with a happy face.

Although Shang Yang and Shang Cheng returned to Tongyou City together this time, Shang Xia had never seen Shang Jian, the second uncle, since he was a child, but Shang Yang only left Tongyou City ten years ago and was sent to Bailu Blessed Land to learn art, and he would return to Tongyou City every once in a while to visit relatives.

Perhaps because the two are close in age, although they check their generation, the relationship between Shang Yang and Shang Xia, the uncle and nephew, is the best.

"Haha, Xiao Xia, I haven't seen you grow so tall for two years? Hey, your suave ninth uncle is about to be caught up by you!"

Shang Yang was even more happy when he saw Shang Xia's expression.

At this time, Shang gradually had already come to the door of the merchant, and the originally joyful atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Shang Yang coughed, and was about to say something, but when he saw Shang gradually smile, he looked at Shang Xi and said, "Seventh sister, I haven't seen you for many years, do you remember the second brother?"
