Chapter 142: The Xiao Family
Click~Knock~
With two crisp sounds, the mouth of the Strange Stone Valley returned to tranquility.
"You have a colored heart, you have a colored guts, but you don't have the strength and luck to match, this is your life! Huo Lingxue rushed at Nan Nan, who was rolling down Heng's head above the ground.
As if hearing Huo Lingxue's words, Fang Heng, who was originally half-closed eyelids, slowly closed his eyes.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go. After Yue Mochen waved at Huo Lingxue and motioned for her to go and clean up, he took the lead in walking towards the stone village.
Half an hour later, the two horses stepped into the vast desert driven by Yue Mochen and the others, but this time there was a little girl compared to when they came.
·····
Yunlu City is based in the Huangling Desert, and is the largest city in the Huangling Desert, and the rest of the cities are its affiliated cities.
And the biggest force in Yunlu City, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion, is the Xiao family, the Xiao family's power is huge enough to make any force within a radius of thousands of miles frightened, and even the City Lord's Mansion is slightly inferior, and the current Xiao family master is a strong man who has reached the late stage of the corundum realm, and he is already a strong man who can be called in the Liling Country.
And at this moment, in the conference room of the Xiao family, which is an absolute giant within thousands of miles in the vicinity, a member of the Xiao family is looking at a letter with a pale face.
"What do you say, if we wait for the family to come back and find that the young master is dead, we don't even have a clue about the murderer, and who of us can bear the anger of the family!" The person who spoke was Xiao Hai, the elder of the Xiao family, and at this moment his fingers were constantly tapping on the table, as if he was in a restless mood.
"Big brother, you calm down first, the matter has come to this point, we can only do our best to make amends, otherwise, we will now order a large number of people to be sent to search. "The person who spoke this time was Xiao Fan, the second elder of the Xiao family, who was also Xiao Hai's younger brother.
"We don't even know where the young master died, can you send someone to turn over the entire Liling Kingdom to find it!" Listening to the words of his second brother, who had a worrying IQ, Xiao Hai's originally troubled mood couldn't help but become even more disturbed.
"Then what the hell should we do, we can't just watch!" Fifth Elder Xiao Fei said.
"Why don't we hang a reward?" the sixth elder said stunned.
"Sixth, you are not ashamed enough, and you are still offering a reward, this is to tell the world that the young master of our Xiao family was killed, but we old guys don't know who did it!" Listening to the words of the sixth elder, the eldest elder Xiao Hai only felt that his head was bigger.
"Forget it, put aside the matter of the young family master first, now our plan has reached the most critical time, or after completing it first, after thinking about the young family master, if the family comes back halfway, you remember to pretend not to know, and you can't admit that we already know the news of the young family's death. Rubbing his sore head slightly, Xiao Hai said in a heavy tone from the rest of the eight elders.
"Got it, big brother!" Xiao Fan was the first to agree.
"Agreed!" "This is undoubtedly the best way to go. The rest of the elders agreed.
"If everybody has no opinion, that's what to do. "How is the second brother's materials collected, now we have very few materials left in the inventory. Xiao Hai's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, looking a little anxious.
"Big brother, I haven't been in contact with Wu Tian for a few days, and in recent days I've heard that his lone goose horse thief group seems to be in some trouble, and I guess he shouldn't be able to complete the materials we need this time. Between the words, Xiao Fan's eyes glanced at Xiao Hai from time to time, and he looked like a child who had not completed the homework assigned by the teacher in time.
"You don't have a connection, I think you just forgot what I told you at all, and went to spend all day drinking!" Xiao Hai's words were very depressed, like a volcano about to erupt.
After Xiao Hai spoke, the entire hall fell silent, especially Xiao Fan, his head didn't dare to raise to look at Xiao Hai.
The silence of the hall was so silent that Xiao Hai's heavy breathing could be heard very clearly by all the elders present.
I saw Xiao Hai, who was on the main seat at this moment, his expression was already gloomy to the extreme, and from the way he didn't take a deep breath, it could be seen that he was constantly suppressing the anger in his heart at this moment.
"Second brother, second brother, you spend all day drinking, I just turned a blind eye and passed, I didn't expect that I didn't even care about the business I explained to you, if it wasn't for my mother who entrusted you to me before she died, let me take good care of you, I really want to slap you to death at this moment. ”
"Do you know how much financial, material and human resources our Xiao family has spent on this plan, and how much time has it taken to get to this point today, if this time because of you ruined our Xiao family's big memory, even if you are my own brother, I will never tolerate it. ”
At this moment, Xiao Hai was unintentionally really angry, and the aura in the middle of the corundum realm on his body instantly burst out, making the entire hall shrouded in an extremely depressed feeling.
It took a long time for the feeling of oppression in the hall to dissipate.
I saw that at this moment, an arrogant and arrogant elder in the Xiao family on weekdays was like a child who made a mistake and was obediently punished. And at this moment, the backs of these elders are wet with sweat.
"I hope you can remember that this is an extraordinary time, and each of you will do your own thing, and I hope you will not let me down, okay, you all go down. ”
With that, Xiao Hai waved his hand and let the group of elders exit the hall, rubbing their swollen heads on top of the main seat.
......
After a group of elders left the hall, except for the second elder and the sixth elder, almost all of them dared to go to their respective posts non-stop.
"Big brother, you should have restrained some of your temperament recently, this time the Great Elder is really angry, I'm afraid it will ......" After saying this, the six elders did not continue.
"Alas, it's been a little more restrained recently, hour, let's go to find Wu Tian now, and hurry up to fill in the vacant materials. ”
Xiao Fan knew that he could no longer do things by temperament at this moment, so he forcibly suppressed his emotions and rushed to Guxin Town, the base camp of the Lone Goose Horse Thieves Regiment, with the six old Xiao Shi.
......
In addition to the vast and boundless desert in the Huangling Desert, there are still some oases, and Guyan Town is built on an oasis.
Guyan Town covers an area of about 40 acres of land, and there is a clear pond in the center of Guyan Town, where the horse thieves in Guyan Town used to drink the water and live.
But in the past six months, the water in the pool has turned bright red, and it still exudes a strong smell of blood, and it is no longer drinkable.
There are strange structures built on the edge of this pool of blood.
The building as a whole is funnel-shaped, but at the time it was an upside-down funnel, and what was even more bizarre was that the funnel would suck back the bright red liquid in the pool, and condense blood-colored lumps from the other end.
The building is called the Blood Tower, and the red liquid in the pool of blood is real blood.
The blood tower can be converted into blood sperm clots by absorbing blood, and the material that the Xiao family needs is blood sperm clots.
The reason why the lone goose horse thief had to store the blood of his villagers after slaughtering the village was to condense the blood essence and hand it over to the Xiao family.
In the past, the blood essence block provided by the lonely goose horse thief could meet the damage of the Xiao family, until Yue Mochen killed Gu Heying, the third leader of the lonely goose horse thief, and the big leader Wu Tian ordered the arrest of Yue Mochen, because of the lack of manpower, he could not provide enough blood, and naturally there would not be enough blood sperm blocks, and the Xiao family's indicators would naturally not be reached.
In the past, the Xiao family would have sent someone to investigate the situation and urge in this situation, but because of the incompetence of Xiao Fan, the second elder of the Xiao family, this time, it dragged on for a long time, which also led Wu Tian to think that the Xiao family had acquiesced to solving the internal affairs first, and they did not do their best to provide blood sperm clots these days.
And at this moment, Wu Tian had just received the news of the death of the second leader, Fang Heng, which also made Wu Tian almost violent at this moment.
"Check! Check me! I must kill the murderer!"
The residence of Wu Tian of the Lone Goose Horse Thief Group, Wu Tian was yelling at the horse thief who was reporting the situation in front of him.
"Great Leader, the little one saw the murderer coming towards our Lonely Goose Town not long ago, and I am afraid that he has already arrived at the entrance of our Lonely Goose Town. The horse thief said cautiously, and kept a glance at his own leader, Wu Tian, who was known for his ferocity.
"Why do they dare to come to the door, it's really self-defeating!"
Suddenly, Wu Tian raised his head to the sky and roared, and his laughter shook the whole room and began to tremble violently, making the horse thief kneeling in front of him even more frightened.
"Go tell everyone, gather at the gate of town, and I'll show them how I'm against our lone goose and horse thieves. Between the words, Wu Tian's figure flickered and disappeared into the room.
After Wu Tian left for a while, the horse thief who was kneeling on the ground dared to get up, only to see that his back was completely wet with cold sweat at this moment, and his face was full of happiness for the rest of his life.
"No, it's too dangerous to stay with the big leader, and I don't know when my life will be in danger, so it seems that I have to find a chance to escape. ”
Looking at the surrounding room that was shaken by Wu Tian's previous long howl, endless fear appeared in the heart of this horse thief at this moment.
······
"Royal ~ Imperial Palace!"
A hundred meters in front of Lone Goose Town, two horses are staying here.
There were three people on the back of two horses, a man and a woman, and a little girl.
These three people are really the three of Yue Mochen who came out of the Strange Stone Valley.
"It's so bloody, it looks like there's something hidden in this oasis. Sniffing the bloody aura that filled the air, Yue Mochen sensed that there must be a large amount of blood in the oasis.
"You take Xiaoxue to hide first, and I'll go to find out the situation first. ”
As he spoke, Yue Mochen jumped off the horse's back and quickly ran to the side of the oasis, it was obvious that Yue Mochen was going to sneak into Lonely Goose Town from the side.
Looking at the back of Yue Mochen's departure, Huo Lingxue suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart for some reason, as if Yue Mochen's entry into the oasis this time would be very dangerous.
"Xiaoxue, you wait to hide, my sister is going to help the big brother!" Huo Lingxue stroked Xiaoxue's little head and said.
"Hmm!" Xiaoxue nodded slightly and didn't say much.
"Alas, it seems that the hatred in Xiaoxue's heart has not dissipated, I hope she will not embark on the same path of revenge as me in the future. ”
Looking at Xiaoxue's appearance at this moment, Huo Lingxue saw through it at a glance, after all, she was a person from the past, if she hadn't met Yue Mochen halfway, I'm afraid she would still be the killer who only knew how to improve her strength and take revenge, but the hatred in Huo Lingxue's heart at this moment had not decreased much, but the originally frozen heart was accidentally opened by Yue Mochen, and because of Yue Mochen's various behaviors, Huo Lingxue continued to expand unconsciously.
