Although the Demon Sect is a sect organization based on the Green Forest Underworld, most of the livelihoods made by the disciples in the sect are illegal businesses prohibited by the imperial court, and it stands to reason that it should be the key target of the imperial court, but the Demon Cult has been in the southeast for more than a hundred years, not only has it not been bulldozed by the imperial court, but it has grown stronger and stronger, which actually has some deep-seated reasons.

Moreover, after the Demon Sect has developed to a certain extent and has become a bit difficult to control, the imperial court has also formed a tacit understanding with the Demon Sect, and the imperial court generally will not do anything to the middle and high-level and core members of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect must also "abide by the rules", easily not touch those things that will shake the foundation of the imperial court's rule, compromise with each other, and be at peace with each other.

Although neither the imperial court nor the Demon Sect has ever admitted this, the hearts of the martial arts people are like a mirror in their hearts, because this is not the special treatment of the Demon Sect by the imperial court, and for those powerful martial arts sect gangs, the imperial court almost treats them with this strategy.

Because of this, Ling Muyun was so shocked at this time, the imperial court actually issued a wanted warrant for Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect, is this going to start an all-out war with the Demon Sect?

Ling Muyun's mind moved, and he looked at the picture on the wanted notice, only to see that the person on this figure had half-white hair, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a hooked nose, a face with sharp edges and corners, and a clump of white beard under his chin.

Although Ling Muyun had never seen Xiang Tianwen's real person, he could also see that this picture was definitely made by a skilled painter, and most of the painters had seen Xiang Tianwen himself. Otherwise, it would never be so vivid and lifelike.

This is also what Ling Muyun finds strange, Xiang Tian asked Tiantian, as the Left Protector Heavenly Monarch of the Demon Sect, he is a high-ranking person in the Demon Sect, and rarely appears in the rivers and lakes, and usually only some high-level and core members of the Demon Sect can see him, how can the painters of the imperial court see him?

It's just that although he has doubts in his heart, no one can answer him now, so he has to suppress the doubts in his heart and squeeze out of the crowd. Back to the crowd.

"Brother Yun. What the hell is going on over there? Huang Rong saw Ling Muyun turn around, and hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"There is a wanted notice issued by the government for a reward for the arrest of Jiangyang thieves, which is why it attracts so many onlookers."

"Bounty Wanted? How much silver was offered? Huang Rong was immediately interested when she heard this, and said, "If the price is good." In case we run into it. You might as well take it for granted. Go to the government office to exchange some pocket money. ”

Everyone else also set their eyes on Ling Muyun, and they were obviously all quite curious about this matter.

Ling Muyun's face was a little strange, and he said, "The price offered by the government this time is not low. A reward of 500,000 taels of silver was offered, but with our little ability, don't think about this reward. ”

"500,000 taels?!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, although none of the people present were short of money to spend, they were still shocked by such a big reward.

500,000 taels is not a small amount, but with the big business of the Ling family and the Wang family, there are thousands of men under their command who work hard, and they may not be able to earn this amount in a year. As far as the current price level of the Great Xia Dynasty is concerned, a few taels of silver are enough for the daily expenses of an ordinary family for a month, and 500,000 taels are enough for the expenses of tens of thousands of households for a year. The annual tax revenue of an ordinary county is only such a amount, and some backward counties cannot even reach it, and the amount of this money can be imagined.

"Who is wanted by the government? How could such a big prize be awarded? ”

After being surprised, everyone was also curious, wanting to know what kind of character could make the government offer such a big reward.

"Ask the sky!" Ling Muyun glanced at everyone and spit out a name.

As soon as the three words "Xiang Tian Wen" came out, everyone couldn't help but gasp, they finally knew why the imperial court would offer such a high price, because the name "Xiang Tian Wen" is too loud in the rivers and lakes, and it cannot be said that everyone knows it, but most people in the rivers and lakes will not be unfamiliar with this name, because this name represents a strong man, the Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect! For this person, not to mention that it is just a reward of 500,000 taels of silver, it is a reward of 1 million taels, and no one will think it is high!

It is precisely because they know the identity of Xiang Tianwen that everyone is so shocked, Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect, the number two person of the Demon Sect, a super-first-class master whose martial arts have already entered the realm of innate greatness, is a person who stomps his feet and the entire rivers and lakes are about to be shaken, how can such a big man be wanted by the government with a bounty? Could it be that the imperial court is going to make up its mind to exterminate the Demon Sect?

"Let's take a look!"

Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju brothers suddenly showed a trace of urgency on their faces, and they ran towards the crowd as soon as their bodies moved, and after arriving at the place, they did not crowd the crowd, and directly scolded and pushed those onlookers: "Get out, get out of the way, don't fucking block here!" ”

"Who are you? Why swear? ”

A young man dressed as a scholar in the crowd of onlookers was in front of Wang Jiaju because he was in a relatively backward position, which made Wang Jiaju stumble and almost fall to the ground, and couldn't help but turn around and look at the Wang brothers angrily.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way here!"

Wang Jiaju didn't argue with the scholar at all, he slapped his hand in the past, and with a crisp "snap", the scholar was directly beaten to the side, his originally white cheeks immediately swollen, and a mouthful of blood mixed with two fallen teeth spit out.

Wang Jiajun was not much more polite than his younger brother, and while pushing and shoving, he also scolded: "Get out of the way for me, you dare to interfere with the affairs of the Golden Dao Wang family, don't you want to fucking die?" ”

Those onlookers were originally quite angry, and when they saw Wang Jiaju make a move, they beat people, and when they heard that it was someone from the Golden Dao Wang family, everyone's faces changed color, and they didn't dare to argue anymore, so they all hurried away in a hurry, even the scholar who was beaten didn't dare to say anything, got up from the ground, and left in a hurry without even caring about the dust on his clothes.

Ling Muyun in the back couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, and he overwhelmed people with power. Fighting by force, how different is this from a ruffian bully? Although no one stipulates that those who practice martial arts must be knights who fight unevenly and hoe the strong to help the weak, but practicing martial arts but bullying ordinary people who don't know martial arts is a bit excessive, and it simply loses the face of those who practice martial arts.

Not only Ling Muyun, but also Huang Rong and the others were quite unaccustomed to it, so they saw Huang Rong ask out loud: "Sister Xiuling, is your Wang family usually so domineering?" ”

Among Ling Muyun's side, only Mei Ruohua didn't think so, in her previous life, when she was in the Condor World, she and her husband Chen Xuanfeng broke through the famous reputation of the Black Wind and the Double Evil. In order to practice the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. There are not a thousand but hundreds of unjust souls who died under her hands, and this little evil deed of the Wang brothers was naturally not taken into her eyes.

Wang Xiuling raised her head slightly, and said triumphantly: "That's tens of thousands of households in Luoyang City. Our Golden Sword King family calls itself second. No one dares to call it number one. Even the state pastor has to be polite when he sees my grandfather, and there are some things that the government has to discuss with our Wang family, so to speak. In this Luoyang City, there is nothing that our Golden Sword King family can't do! ”

Ling Muyun and Huang Rong couldn't help frowning slightly when they heard this, looking at Wang Xiuling's appearance, not only were they not ashamed, but they were proud, and then looked at the style of Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju's brothers, it seems that this is the style of his cheap grandfather's family.

At this time, I saw Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju walking back with bad faces, and when they arrived in front of everyone, they reluctantly smiled and said, "Several of you are hungry, let's go, let's go to Songhe Tower." ”

"Big brother, second brother, is it really the Demon Sect's Zuo Tianjun who is wanted over there and asked Tiantian?" Wang Xiuling asked.

"That's right."

"But ask the heavens, isn't it the Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect? How dare the government offer a reward for him to be wanted? Aren't you afraid of annoying the Demon Sect and opposing the imperial court? ”

When Wang Xiuling asked this, the faces of the Wang brothers became more and more gloomy, and Wang Jiaju said stiffly: "We are not from the court, how do we know what the court thinks?" What are you doing with a girl's house, asking so many useless questions? ”

Wang Xiuling's face turned pale suddenly, she didn't expect Wang Jiaju to suddenly say this about her, and a trace of annoyance flashed on her face, she is the only daughter in the family, and she has always been spoiled, where can she bear this breath? Immediately screamed: "I'll just ask what's wrong?" Don't you even let anyone speak? Don't sprinkle any anger on me! ”

Ling Muyun and Huang Rong not only glanced at each other, but they both saw a look of doubt in each other's eyes. As smart as they are, they have already seen that something is wrong with the Wang brothers. It is said that it is very strange for Xiang Tian to be wanted by the government, but no matter how it is said, it is a matter between the Demon Sect and the government, and it has nothing to do with others, why did the Wang brothers react so much?

Wang Jiajun hurriedly played a round and said: "Okay, okay, little sister, your second brother just said it casually, you don't have to be angry, you can make an awkward fuss for a little idle matter?" I'm not afraid of Cousin Muyun, they saw the joke. Okay, let's go to dinner! ”

After Wang Jiajun's persuasion, Wang Jiaju and Wang Xiuling both restrained their tempers and stopped saying more, and the group set off again.

Under the guidance of the Wang brothers and sisters, everyone turned two streets, and suddenly found a two-story restaurant with a grand face and a large scale, and a large plaque with three gilded characters of "Songhe Tower" written on it. Wang Jiaju said: "Cousin Muyun, Miss Huang, this is what I am talking about." ”

As he spoke, he led the people inside.

"The eldest young master, the second young master, the eldest miss, are you all here? Please, please, please! ”

Everyone walked to the door, and the shopkeeper greeted him from inside, smiling like a flower on his face, obviously the Wang brothers and sisters did not lie before, they were indeed regular customers of this Songhe Tower.

Wang Jiajun said: "Man, today our brothers and sisters specially came to your Songhe Tower to entertain guests, you have to give us some face, make a good meal, I will reward the young master for eating, if you don't eat well, don't blame the young master for smashing your Songhe Tower's signboard!" ”

"Okay, second young master, don't worry, I will instruct the kitchen to cook and adjust the treatment carefully in a while, and I will not let you down." Inside please! ”

Everyone immediately entered the Songhe Tower.

Like many large restaurants, this Songhe Tower has a lobby on the first floor and a private seat on the second floor. Generally speaking, the lobby is used to entertain ordinary people, the place is large, there are many seats, and the price is relatively affordable. The private seat on the second floor is used to entertain some wealthy people, with fewer seats, spacious, and the workmanship of the ingredients is more elegant, and the taste is much better than that downstairs. Of course, the price is also much higher. However, generally those who go to the second floor to eat are self-contained, and no one will care about a little money.

As the brothers and sisters of the Wang family, they naturally would not be in the lobby when they came to eat at Songhe Tower, so the guy directly led everyone to the second floor, and at Ling Muyun's suggestion, everyone found a table near the window and sat down.

Since the crossing, Ling Muyun has developed a habit of eating by the window, but whenever he goes to the restaurant, he likes to find a seat by the window, so that he can enjoy the scenery while eating and drinking.

Of course, this is also because of the good environment in the martial arts world. If it is replaced by the modern city where Ling Muyun lived before he traveled. The air is full of industrial exhaust fumes and automobile exhaust fumes, and half of the 365 days in a year are hazy weather.

However, today, Ling Muyun proposed to sit by the window, but he didn't just want to watch the scenery. But there is another reason.

Ling Muyun was very sure of his judgment. He always felt that his three cheap cousins had brought them here for another purpose. Although he is confident that with the strength of his own side, no matter what tricks the Wang family brothers and sisters play, it is good to be more prepared. Select a window seat. It is not only convenient to observe the situation outside, but also easier to respond to any unexpected situation.

The shopkeeper took the recipe and asked with a smile, "A few young masters and young ladies, what do you want to order?" Here's the recipe. ”

Wang Jiaju took the recipe and asked Ling Muyun and others to order, Ling Muyun pushed the recipe back, and said with a smile: "Whatever the guest wants, besides, we are not familiar with this restaurant, so you can order it from the second cousin." ”

"Okay, then I'll order a few things that he is good at here, and then you can add whatever you want to eat."

Wang Jiaju was no longer humble, and immediately took back the recipe and ordered: "Let's have a flower cook, chrysanthemum rabbit shreds, fried roe legs, deer belly stuffed Jiang Yao, ginger vinegar gold and silver hooves, mandarin duck fried beef tendon...... Well, two more good flower carvings on the altar. ”

Then Wang Jiajun and Wang Xiuling ordered a few dishes, and then handed them to Ling Muyun and others, and asked Ling Muyun and others to order a few things, asking for a total of more than 20 dishes and two jars of aged flower carvings.

When the guy at the shop saw that everyone had ordered so many expensive wines and dishes, he was naturally happy in his heart, and he went down to prepare with a smile.

The time was not big, the wine and food were all ready, everyone ate and drank, Ling Muyun felt it, and found that the dishes of this Songhe Tower were not bad, and it was not in vain that the brothers and sisters of the Wang family recommended it, although it was worse than Huang Rong's craftsmanship, but it was indeed a delicacy compared to other houses.

Ling Muyun couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart, could it be that these cheap cousins of his just wanted to invite him and Rong'er to have a good meal, but he was thinking too much about himself?

But then Ling Muyun shook his head in his heart, vetoing this idea, his feeling would not be wrong, the Wang family brothers and sisters had to invite them here to eat, they must have ulterior motives, otherwise they would not have behaved like before.

At this moment, Ling Muyun's afterglow swept away, and he suddenly found a man walking out of the teahouse diagonally opposite the restaurant, only to see that this man was dressed in a brocade robe, about thirty or forty years old, his temples were slightly raised, and he was wearing a long knife with a sheath on his waist.

The reason why he noticed this man was because in him, Ling Muyun always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he was sure that he had definitely not seen this person before.

Just when Ling Muyun was still thinking about why he had a faint sense of familiarity with this person, he saw that this man did not go elsewhere after coming out of the teahouse, but walked straight towards the pine crane tower where they were, and while Ling Muyun was thinking, he had already stepped into the pine crane tower.

"Pedal ......"

There was a sound of stairs, and Ling Muyun followed the sound to see that the man with the saber had already walked up to the second floor accompanied by the shopkeeper.

The man came upstairs, glanced towards the second floor, his gaze paused abruptly when he swept to Ling Muyun's table, the glint in his eyes flashed away, and then he looked away as if nothing happened, and walked to a table not far from a few people and sat down.

As the man with the sword went upstairs, the three brothers and sisters of the Wang family glanced at each other, and a trace of strangeness flashed in their eyes at the same time, which was quite tacit.

Although the eyes of the three brothers and sisters of the Wang family separated after only a slight contact, they still did not escape Ling Muyun's eyes. Ling Muyun's heart suddenly brightened, it seemed that this saber man was most likely the show that his three cheap cousins had prepared for them.

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun was drinking and eating food, and at the same time secretly noticed this man with a saber.

I saw that after the man with the saber sat down, he commanded the man in a rough voice: "Bring me a plate of sweet and sour fish, a plate of smoked chicken, a plate of spiced beef, and a plate of pig's trotters in sauce...... and ordered six or seven dishes in a row, all of which were meat dishes such as chicken, duck and fish, and then asked for a jar of good wine, and then waved his hand to ask the man to retreat and prepare.

There was not much time, the shopkeeper gave the wine and food to the saber man, the man reached out and grabbed a sauce pig's trotter and nibbled a few bites, poured a glass of wine and drank it dry, glanced at Ling Muyun obliquely, and then poured himself another glass of wine, stood up, and walked towards Ling Muyun and their table with square steps.

"Sure enough!"

Ling Muyun's heart moved, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and sneered at the man with a sword who came over, wanting to see what kind of performance he would do next. (To be continued......)
