50. Clear

The atmosphere in Empty Mountain City, since Xu Cheng left here, has been extremely gloomy.

The several famous families who have lived in Empty Mountain City for a long time, although they can not care about Xu Cheng, the "city lord" whose strength is not as good as theirs, but they don't want to just turn their backs on the Xu family, who has controlled the city for hundreds of years.

It's just that when the Luo family entered Kongshan City with an extremely strong attitude, and easily swept away all the remnants of the Xu family in the entire Kongshan City, those famous families in this city could only bow their heads and accept their fate. As for whether they have resentment in their hearts, it is not something that the Luo family needs to consider, but the Luo family believes that under their governance, even if these people have resentment, it will disappear quickly.

In fact, no one knows why the Luo family dares to gamble so much.

There are only nine lower cities in Jiao'an, which are controlled by the four major families of Jiao'an. As the most old and powerful Xu family in Jiao'an, there is no doubt that the number of lower cities controlled is the most, with four seats. In addition to the empty mountain city, the Black Mountain City, the giant stone city and another medicine stone city known as the "Jiao'an Medicine Garden" in Jiao'an are all cities under the rule of the Xu family.

The Luo family, on the other hand, occupied Baifeng City, which shared the Baifeng Mountain Range with Kongshan City, and another earthwork city, which was a barren place among the nine cities under Jiao'an.

For a long time, it has long been no secret that the Luo family has coveted Kongshan City.

For the past three hundred years, the Luo family has been trying to take away the empty mountain city from the Xu family. It's just that the Xu family's background is indeed stronger than the other three Jiao'an Wang clans, so they have always knocked back the Luo family's claws that tried to get their hands on the empty mountain city.

But because of this, the relationship between the Luo family and the Xu family has gradually deteriorated out of control.

This time, Black Mountain City under the rule of the Xu family has become a place of struggle between several giant clans in Chizhou, and all the famous families and prominent clans in the entire Jiao'an know very well that the Luo family will definitely take this opportunity to fall into the well and find some trouble for the Xu family. It's just that no one thought that the Luo family would dare to rob the city without any scruples and completely take the empty mountain city for themselves, aren't they afraid to wait for the Xu family to solve the most anxious Black Mountain City incident at present, and then go back and clean up the Luo family?

In the past few hundred years, the Luo family has not failed to capture Empty Mountain City.

It's just that their best record is to take away the empty mountain city from the Xu family for seven days, and then they were retaliated back by the Xu family, who had exhausted their strength. In just one day, the Luo family suffered heavy losses and had to abandon the city that they had coveted for a long time.

But this time, just when everyone was speculating about when the Xu family was going to retaliate and counterattack, the Xu family did not make a move.

And so on, that is, ten days have passed.

It seems that the Xu family has completely abandoned Empty Mountain City.

This really puzzled all the famous families in the entire Empty Mountain City.

However, if this were not the case, it would be impossible for these veteran families in Kongshan City to take root for a long time to truly recognize the Luo family's status as managers of the city. After all, fundamentally morally speaking, this time it was the Xu family who gave up the city first, and for the sake of the living space and development of the entire family, of course they could not continue to get along with the Luo family, after all, the Luo family, who occupied Empty Mountain City, was in a sense the spokesperson for the interests of all their families in Empty Mountain City.

Under the premise that the interests are completely aligned, no one wants to be uncomfortable.

At this time, in the Zhao family's mansion in Kongshan City, a middle-aged man with a white face and a handsome appearance was sitting in the same position where Xu Cheng was sitting, and said to Qingyi who was sitting opposite him with a smile: "This is Brother Tiger's disciple." …… Hahaha, if it weren't for the fact that I was too young, I would have wanted to be engaged to my five sons. ”

Qingyi's gaze was very cold, and he didn't show any emotional fluctuations because of the other party's words, and he wasn't even a little surprised by the other party's identity.

This middle-aged man is none other than Luo Junxiong, who is now arranged by the Luo family to manage Kongshan City, as the representative of the interests of all families in Kongshan City.

He is the same generation as Zhao Hu, Zhao Yun and others, and is the fifth generation of the Luo family, ranking fifth in the clan, and is also known as Luo Lao Wu. Although he has the cultivation of the sixth layer of Tongxuan, but his martial arts skills are mediocre, if he really talks about fighting alone, he is naturally not Zhao Yun's opponent at all, but the Luo family is not good at fighting alone, if he personally goes down to the battle and sets up a four-way attack array, even if the monk of the ninth layer of Tongxuan is trapped, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.

The way of battle formation is to gather the weak to defeat the strong.

Luo Junxiong happens to be a little better at this.

Luo Yuan, who died under Xu Pocheng because of Ye Kong's move, was his third son.

"Brother Junxiong laughed." Zhao Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Qingyi with a complicated expression, and when he turned his head to look at Luo Junxiong, he had already returned to normal, "My second brother is not here, Qingyi's child's marriage, I can't be the master." ”

"Haha, I've sent someone to search the edge of the gray forest, and if I find anything, I'll let you know as soon as possible." Luo Junxiong turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, still with a smile on his face, "No matter what you say this time, it is really thanks to you that our Luo family was able to take this empty mountain city." I don't know how the head of the family arranged it, but I can guarantee that no matter what, in this empty mountain city, the people of your Zhao family will always be my Luo Junxiong's guests. ”

The Luo family was able to take Kongshan City so smoothly, and the Zhao family also contributed a lot in this regard.

Originally, the alliance between the Zhao family and the Xu family was very private and hidden, and it was almost unknown to outsiders. So this time, the Zhao family stood in the camp of the Luo family, and for outsiders, it was just a joint effort between the Jiao'an Luo family and the Tai'an Zhao family, and only the Xu family knew what kind of stupid thing Xu Cheng had done.

Of course, if it were a normal situation, the Zhao family might not have sided with the Luo family so quickly.

But this time, the situation is somewhat peculiar.

And all of this comes from Qingyi.

Growing up as a beggar, she knew how to survive in the cracks very early, and naturally knew how to use the existing information and intelligence advantages. The children of the Zhao family may not understand these things, and they can even be said to be better at them than Qingyi, after all, stratagem is also a considerable part of the life of the monks, but they will disdain to do these things because of their own identity.

The only exception is Qingyi.

She was originally born as a beggar, how could she think about her face and identity, and these things can't make people full.

So she not only dared to think, but also dared to do.

Luo Junxiong admires Qingyi because of this.

Even if it is Zhao Yun, he has to admit that this time the Zhao family's gains are indeed due to Qingyi. If it was according to the rules of their Zhao family, or according to the unspoken rules of the clan to take it step by step, by the time the Zhao family started to act and the Luo family took action to snatch the empty mountain city, the Xu family would have already reacted and made all preparations for counterattacks, and then the Zhao family would be in a dilemma, and the Luo family would naturally not be able to benefit.

Regarding Luo Junxiong's words, Zhao Yun didn't answer, but just made a haha to reveal it.

At present, the head of the Luo family has made an appointment with the head of the Zhao family to spy on it, wanting to take this conspiracy to take Kongshan City as a symbol of friendship between the two families, carry out deeper cooperation, and even form an alliance.

But outsiders don't know, but Zhao Yun knows very well the relationship between their Zhao family and the Xu family, which is a real in-law relationship. Although the monks of their faction do not particularly pay attention to the bloodline tradition, if they really want to investigate in detail, maybe he and Xu Cheng still have the identity of cousins. Therefore, in the end, no one can say whether their Zhao family will choose the Luo family or continue to maintain an alliance with the Xu family.

Qingyi looked at these two middle-aged men who were almost able to be grandfathers in the secular world here, and felt a little tired. So after listening politely for a while, he turned around and left, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

Luo Junxiong and Zhao Yun naturally didn't keep it, these two guys with evil intentions still have their own plans, and this kind of temptation to think of snakes is just a beginning.

Because he was worried that after the Luo family took Kongshan City, it would trigger a war in Kongshan City, so when the Xu family was persuaded by Qingyi to take Xu Qianjun the next day, Zhao Yun ordered Zhao De to escort Zhao Yu back to Tai'an. Although it seems that the Xu family probably doesn't have the energy to recapture Kongshan City now, the entire Zhao family's mansion does seem very deserted, and Qingyi walked alone on the way back to the courtyard, and he didn't even see a single person.

However, when he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Qingyi's face changed slightly, his hair stood on end, and the whole person was in a strong sense of fear.

Her eyes were fixed on the door of the house in the courtyard where she had lived for a long time.

The aura that made her feel terrified, nervous, and even palpitating and panicked was spreading from there.

Qingyi opened her mouth, and she wanted to call someone over, but she only remembered at this time, because the shadow of the battle had been affected by the recent battle in Kongshan City, so this Zhao family garden had dismissed a lot of people, and at this moment, the entire mansion really counted the people of the Zhao family including her, there were no more than thirteen people, and as for the next people, there were less than thirty people. With the exception of a few areas that are still being cleaned on a daily basis, the rest of the world has largely ceased maintenance.

"Squeak".

Just when Qingyi was still thinking nonsense, the door suddenly opened.

A man wearing a long-sleeved robe with an unnatural iron blue complexion stood at the door of the room, looking at Qingyi indifferently.

His gaze was a kind of indifference that Qingyi had never seen before, and for some reason, when he saw this kind of look, Qingyi's mind couldn't help but think of the words "indifference to life". This is a kind of innocence that has never been seen in anyone, even if she has half a foot in the monastic realm now, and she has never seen it in the eyes of any monk, as if all living things in this world are no different from flowers and trees, or even a stone in his eyes.

The aura that made her feel extreme fear emanated from this man.

"Ahem." Seeing Qingyi standing stiffly outside the courtyard gate and confronting the Yin Corpse General, with a stubborn appearance that was obviously very panicked but still didn't want to escape, Ye Kong didn't know why he felt distressed, so he could only cough lightly and said, "Qingyi, I'm standing outside, come in." …… He, nothing malicious. ”

"Master." Because he was suppressed by this huge threat before, Qingyi didn't see Ye Kong sitting in the front hall, and after hearing Ye Kong's words at this time, his face couldn't help but show joy, "You're back." ”

"Yes." Ye Kong nodded slightly, "Huh?" Your progress is a bit beyond my expectations, have you entered the first layer? ”

"It's all the master's teaching, and the disciples are grateful." Qingyi ran to Ye Kong with a happy face, and his face turned a little red from excitement.

"Hey, now that you've learned to be polite, it seems that you've learned a lot in the last ten days, Zhao Yun's guy must be beating your mind." Ye Kong smiled and reached out to rub Qingyi's hair.

"He wanted me to be included in the Zhao family tree." For Ye Kong, Qingyi did not have the slightest concealment.

When Qing Yi was first picked up by Ye Kong, she was just a mortal, no one was optimistic about her cultivation talent, and no one was optimistic about her future. But from the time she took the Washedan to now, it has only been two months, and she is already a cultivator at the first level of Xuan, even if she directly skips the stage of polishing her skin, bones and blood, it may cause a crisis of unstable foundation in her future, but in terms of cultivation talent, Qingyi can indeed be worthy of the word "genius".

"It's a good calculation." Ye Kong pursed his lips disdainfully, turned his head and said to Qingyi again, "But what you did this time was a bit excessive." I'm glad you understood my cues, but you shouldn't put yourself on stage. Now that the Luo family, the Zhao family, and even the Xu family have their eyes on you, it is impossible for you to keep a low profile, unless we leave Jiao'an. ”

"Master, didn't you plan to do so in the first place?" Qingyi tilted his head, with a smile on his face.

"It's just you, a monkey spirit." Ye Kong scratched Qingyi's nose, "Okay, pack up your things, and then we'll leave at night." …… Originally, I didn't want to go back here, and I wanted to find another way to pick you up, but because of ......" Speaking of this, Ye Kong glanced at the Yin Corpse General again, this guy was looking at Ye Kong and Qingyi with a blank expression, his eyes were not as indifferent as when he saw Qingyi just now, but there was a little doubt.

Looking at the appearance of the Yin Corpse General, Ye Kong also had a headache: "Anyway, when I enter the city and find that you have made such a big mess, I will have to come back." And now that he is back, if he doesn't go to say hello to Zhao Yun, he really can't say it. ”

"Master, he ......" Qingyi only began to really look at the Yin corpse general next to him at this time, "It's not human, right?" ”

"Necropsy repair." Ye Kong also looked helpless, "If there is anything else in the world that can make me feel troublesome, it is only corpse cultivation." ”

"Then he ......" Qingyi cautiously pointed to the Yin Corpse General, "Is it Master, your new disciple?" ”

"Well, sort of."

Ye Kong glanced at the Yin Corpse General, he didn't know what to do with this guy, but this guy seemed to identify him, no matter where he went, he couldn't get rid of it. But fortunately, this guy is still obedient, and let him change a set of clothes, this guy is quite cooperative, and he didn't resist too much, of course, he doesn't know how to change clothes by himself, and he still needs Ye Kong's help.

Qingyi didn't care about Ye Kong's depressed face, but his eyes were a little shining: "This is...... My junior brother? ”

"Hey, you're wrong." Ye Kong knocked Qingyi's head.

"What does it matter?" Qingyi pursed his lips disapprovingly, "Master is a ghost cultivator, I was originally a beggar, and another corpse ...... Repair? It doesn't seem like a problem. …… Hey, no, it seems that something is really wrong, so I'm the only one who is a normal person? ”

Ye Kong stretched out his hand again and knocked Qingyi's head with a constipated face: "Seeing that you are so eloquent, in the past ten days since I left, you have really learned a lot from Zhao Yun." ”

Qingyi stuck out her tongue and snickered, then she glanced back at the Yin Corpse General, and saw that the other party's gaze at her was no longer as indifferent as before, so she asked again: "Master, junior brother...... Is there a name? ”

"Not yet." Ye Kong has a headache with such a Yin corpse How to avoid trouble, although there is no Buddha in this Western Continent, but there is a large group of terrorists who like to act for the Heavenly Dao, if you know that he is a ghost cultivator, and he also has a corpse cultivator, it is simply endless trouble and hunting, so how can you have the heart to think of a name for the Yin corpse.

"Shall I get one for him?"

"Whatever you want." Ye Kong waved his hand.

Qingyi walked in front of the Yin Corpse General, perhaps because she looked up at the other party and looked a little sore, so she stretched out her hand and beckoned, signaling the other party to squat down.

But it's a pity that the Yin Corpse General who is like a blank piece of paper doesn't know what Qingyi wants to express, and in the end, Ye Kong smiled: "Don't waste your efforts, this guy can't squat." Although he has just turned on his spiritual wisdom and turned to corpse cultivation, his body has not completely softened, and at least he will not recover slightly after cultivating to the Circle Realm, so this guy's body is very stiff now. ”

Qingyi pursed his lips, then thought about it, moved a stool over, and after stepping on the stool, although it was still not as tall as the Yin Corpse, at least he didn't have to look up at the other party: "Hey, I will be your senior sister in the future, when the master is away, you have to listen to me, you know?" ”

The Yin Corpse General didn't reply, just stared blankly at Qingyi.

But Qingyi didn't care, her little face was full of excitement: "Well, my name was taken by Master, called Qingyi, which means leisure and ease." Then you ...... It's called Ranran, unrestrained. …… Qingyi Yiran, hahaha, how did I get this name, Master! Relaxed and uninhibited! ”

"Yo." At this moment, even Ye Kong was a little surprised, "You know everything?" What did you learn from Zhao Yu? No, you'll just have to say these four words. ”

When Ye Kong said this, Qingyi's rare face turned red: "Master, you hate it very much!" ”

"Haha." Ye Kong smiled and nodded, "Qingyi Yiran, it is indeed a good name." …… In the future, you will be called Yiran, this little guy, although his current cultivation is not as good as yours, but his future achievements will definitely not be lower than yours, and when you are your senior sister, it is not a grievance. ”

"...... Ran ......" the Yin Corpse General repeated these two words in a daze, "Qing ...... Escape...... ...... And ......"

"Eun." Qingyi nodded, "Qingyi Yiran!" I am Qingyi, you are Qingran! I'm your senior sister, you're my junior brother! Hey. ”

Looking at Qingyi, the Yin Corpse General, or the corpse cultivator who had been named Ran, his eyes gradually softened: "En." ”
