Chapter 237
Gai Yu and Dong Bo were heartbroken, their best friend passed away, and they hated Jiang Rutao to the core, and they didn't even let a drop of water into the room in the past few days, and these servants had nothing to do, so they had to invite the wives of the two brothers of the Jiang family to intercede.
Jiang Ruhai persuaded his mother to return with good words, and he also felt that this matter was difficult to deal with, seeing that he looked at Mo Feng and the others, they all turned their heads to avoid it, and Jiang Youfu and Jiang Youlu also bowed their heads and were silent. He hurriedly grabbed Zhang Zhao and asked, "Big brother, what do you say I should do about this?"
Zhang Zhao sighed faintly: "Although he is to blame for the death of his uncle and the predicament of the Jiang family, it is all caused by the traitors around him. You brothers, give him a chance. After that, he patted Jiang Ruhai on the shoulder: "Compare your heart to your heart, if it were you, I might not be able to guard against it." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai sent Shui Ling'er and Mo Feng out of the city together, looking back at Zhang Zhao's distant figure behind them, Shui Ling'er could not hide her loneliness: "Grandpa Mo, why don't you and the three grandfathers say that they will stay with him? Aren't you afraid that he will be in danger?"
Mo Feng tilted his head and leaned on the soft cushions in the carriage with a comfortable face: "Danger?Xiao Ling'er, these days, we are all thinking about one thing, if we want to kill that kid, how can we do it." ”
Seeing Shui Ling'er's face full of doubts, Mo Feng sat up straight and looked at the three white-robed old men and smiled: "But after thinking about it for a long time, we haven't come up with a way to kill him easily." ”
Seeing that Shui Ling'er had understood their thoughts, Mo Feng closed his eyes and leaned back: "Whether it's him or that Flame Demon, as long as he has armor on his body, he is not an ordinary incarnation cultivator who can deal with it." If you add that big guy, it's really impossible to say who is in danger......"
Ever since he met and talked with Zhang Zhao once before the start of the battle in Giant Rock City, Gong Yeyang's heart had been hanging in the balance, he was both surprised that a young man could have such a calm mind, and he was afraid of falling into a situation of isolation and helplessness again.
He knew that Zhang Zhao's guess was right, if he hurt the people of the Mo family and Xuanshui Palace, this black cauldron must be borne by himself, and I am afraid that this is also an important reason why Mr. He promised a lot of money for them to help.
Ren Fengkun and Liao Shan are both ruthless characters who are known as Wuxuan, and even if the Jiang family wins in a head-on conflict, they will pay a heavy price. Gongye Yang obeyed Zhang Zhao's arrangement, and according to their plan, the two clansmen sacrificed their lives to die, and finally in exchange for the final successful assassination.
This is not the first time that Gongye Yang has cooperated with others in decades, he has done similar things for many families before, and the results have not been satisfactory, at most in exchange for some money, and there are not a few people who have crossed the bridge and pumped the board.
But Gongye Yang has no other choice, as Mr. He and the Lu family brothers said, he is old, and there are fewer and fewer clansmen following him, although with Cai Zhixu joining, he still can't see any bright future.
After decades of hardship, the enthusiasm of his youth has gradually turned into a kind of helpless persistence, and sometimes even he does not know what to do tomorrow, so he can only run around with a group of people who are just as tired as him.
At this moment, Gongye Yang seemed to see his youthful and energetic appearance from Zhang Zhao, who was sitting opposite, and he felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart, feeling that maybe this time he really bet on the right time.
"Senior, I don't know if you have any plans for the future of the Burning Body Clan. Gongye Yang, who was thinking wildly, came to his senses and shook his head slowly: "I wanted to use the immortal yuan I earned this time to recruit people to fight with Chiri City, but unfortunately the chances of winning are really slim." ”
Zhang Zhao said calmly: "Please also tell the two of you the truth, is the Burning Body Clan really as everyone said, and if they confront Red Sun City head-on, how many clansmen will respond?"
Cai Zhixu lowered his head and was silent, Gongye Yang opened his mouth several times with great difficulty and did not make a sound, and only after a long time did he sigh in a dumb voice: "It's true, in fact, the situation in Burning City is worse than the rumors." ”
"When you were as old as you, you formed an alliance with the descendants of more than a dozen families in order to revive it, and you were killed by Chiri City. Now, in addition to Zhixu, even Taidan has forgotten the revenge of his family's killing and is bent on enjoying himself. ”
"The families with a little strength are willing to be used by the Red Sun City, or move their families to the outer city of the Red Sun, or use their power in the burning city to squeeze the same clan, and the old man also wants to get rid of the scum of those clans, how can they kill them like a carp crossing the river, so that the old man has to hide in Tibet to survive to this day, alas......"
Seeing that Gongye Yang couldn't go on, Zhang Zhao approached and poured him a cup of tea: "Senior, don't worry, in your opinion, why are those clansmen willing to be slaves and humiliated, and would rather leave their homeland than have the heart to resist?"
"A hundred years ago, Chiri City posted a reward for huge profits, as long as you identify which one has a different intention, you can go to the Chiri Outer City to settle down and get rid of slavery, if you have the slightest involvement with us, you will have to destroy the whole family. Over time, everyone in the city was burned to danger and had no trust in each other, and even neighbors had to be wary of each other. ”
"Over the years, I have seen my clansmen humiliated and suffered, and there are countless cases where we have helped but been betrayed, not to mention others, even the old people are sleepless all night, and I can't wait to get rid of them because of this......
"The rebellion of those brothers who died back then, now only the old decay is still struggling to support, but how can we cheer up the clansmen...... There is really no good solution. ”
Zhang Zhao paced slowly in the hall: "It is normal for people to be greedy for money and afraid of death, coupled with years of separation from morality, it is indeed more difficult to make them forget about death. However, the younger generation thought that if they wanted to resist Red Sun City or the sect that oppressed the Burning Body Clan, they didn't have to take their lives. ”
"The Burning Body Clan has a large number of people, and although their status is not high, they play a pivotal role in the entire Xuanhuo Domain, but the vast majority of them don't know that they have such an ability. ”
"Judging from the situation of the past two days, as long as they go to do something together, everything that seems to be normal in Sifang City will change a lot. Let's start from here and let them gradually understand this truth. ”
Gongyeyang and Cai Zhixu understood that a spark flashed in their eyes when they heard what Zhang Zhao was pointing at, and then turned into sorrow: "Now that the dust has settled, where can I find such an opportunity again?"
Zhang Zhao raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the door and smiled: "Have you forgotten that there are still thousands of mouths outside, as long as we release the news, are you afraid that no one will know?"
In the next few days, Zhang Zhao's whereabouts became the most concerned thing for everyone in Sifang City. With the grand momentum of winning the two competitions, there were countless cultivators following him wherever he went.
Zhang Zhao first went to the arena in Lindou City, which did not belong to Zhong Li's family, and defeated several people cleanly, and then climbed to the Shura Platform to defeat several masters, and even his act of cutting jade in the Famu City Bazaar became a topic of conversation among everyone.
Several trap arenas and flame halls have made great adjustments to the original bet multiple, each person can only bet on a maximum of one medium-grade immortal crystal, even so, these followers are still happy, for a while, Zhang Zhao's reputation in the Sifang City has risen to the extreme, and almost all the cultivators have put down their things to join this team.
Just six or seven days have passed, Gongye Yang has been a little unable to hold his breath, of course he knows the truth hidden behind this madness, because all the immortal crystals obtained by cultivators are actually from the Jiang family.
Several successive competitions were deliberately done with the help of the Lu family brothers and the Huangfu family, in fact, similar things are not uncommon in the arena, but their goals are diametrically opposite now.
Counting to compensate for the other party's losses, the Jiang family had to take out hundreds of top-grade immortal crystals for nothing every day. What shocked Gongyeyang even more was that Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai didn't care about this at all, and discussed their next move with confidence.
As time passed, the tens of thousands of cultivators who were watching in front of the Jiang family also noticed some differences when they talked to each other, and the attitudes of the merchants in the various cities who were originally cold to them had changed greatly, and there was no contempt in the eyes of anyone looking at this team.
Of course, this change is not only because they won the immortal crystal, and the business of tens of thousands of people is thriving, while the merchants in the other three cities are very numerous, and when many people in the four cities also join in, this situation is becoming more and more obvious.
Zhang Zhao took them to take turns walking around the three cities of Famu Lindou Flame, and for half a month in a row, the Giant Rock City almost became an empty city, but the people who went back to rest very late found that all the Giant Rock merchants, including the shopkeepers, were extremely enthusiastic about them.
No matter how good the business is, it also needs the support of connections, and once it loses customers and working people, all merchants will become a source of water, and no matter how much wealth and savings you have, it will slowly run out. After more than ten days of gathering and exchange, the Burning Body Clansmen who felt their humble status began to understand, and even the ordinary people in Sifang City realized that they were not as insignificant as they imagined.
They began to try to join forces to deal with those merchant families who had a very bad reputation and treated people harshly, and when it was mentioned that those who were usually commanding took the initiative to increase their salaries and did everything possible to show their goodwill, the oppressed crowd was filled with laughter and laughter.
In less than a month, there have been earth-shaking changes in the Sifang City, and the Burning Body Clansmen and the people in Sifang City, who have been lowering their eyebrows, are all raising their eyebrows, and they are radiant every day.
Although some merchant families are dissatisfied, no one dares to provoke such a huge team of incalculable strength. Even the brothers of the Lu family, who didn't care about it at first, saw this situation, and felt faintly pressure in their hearts and took the initiative to visit.
"Little brother, it's not a way to go on like this, you have already spent too many immortal crystals, not to mention that our Shura Field is going to be unable to support it, they haven't had many people on stage to compete, won't our brother cut off his livelihood?"
Zhang Zhao and Jiang Ruhai looked at each other and smiled: "Haven't the two seniors found out? In fact, except for the Shura Field, the rest of the business in the Flame City has no impact, and the immortal crystals in people's hands will be spent no matter what, why do they have to go to the stage to bleed for their lives?"
Lu Lie thought about it and felt that there was some truth: "This is not bad, they have immortal crystals in their hands, and they are much more generous on weekdays, and the rest of the business in the city is indeed prosperous." ”
"The younger generation thinks that the competition on the Shura platform is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, and only the living will bring more wealth, if the master of the Lu Hall can be generous to others, all industries will prosper in the Flame City, how can they worry about their livelihood at that time?"
Jiang Ruhai followed and persuaded: "Uncle Lu, there are countless mine cave flame pits within the Flame City, that is an excellent place for quarrying and casting, if the people in the city are prosperous, they can let them choose by themselves, and the immortal crystals will naturally roll in in the future." ”
Lu Lie nodded slowly and was quite tempted: "Sounds good, but our Flame Hall has never had any way to do business...... Jiang Ruhai smiled at his eyes: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, those trivial things are wrapped up in the little nephew, the covenant of the ancestors does not interfere with each other, and it is not against the ancestral teachings for us to do some business together." ”
Finally saw Zhang Zhao riding a scorpion dragon beast out of the Jiang family, and the more than 100,000 people waiting in Famu City were excited, but to their surprise, this time Zhang Zhao did not walk out of the city, but stood high above the head of the scorpion dragon beast, condescending to shout at them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter where you come out of the ** clan or elsewhere, you must have some understanding these days, as long as you work together, the difficulties in front of you will be solved. ”
"Although you are no longer in a vulnerable position within the Sifang City, there are still many clansmen in the rest of the Burning Red Sun City and the Xuanhuo Domain, who are still suffering from the hardships you once had. I think you've found the best way to help them. ”
Zhang Zhao's grand voice stirred in everyone's ears: "Only by uniting as one can we have dignity, and now I will go to Burning City to let them live the same life as here in the same way." I look forward to your help if you will. ”
The scorpion dragon beast flapped its wings and slowly rose, and the crowd that had been silent for a long time suddenly shouted in unison: "Atub...... Atubu ...... "Then countless figures jumped up in the air, and the surging crowd followed Zhang Zhao and ran in the direction of his hometown.
In the dense shade of a dense forest with thick tree trunks shaped like spindles, five old men in silver robes with a red sun embroidered in the middle sat on soft rattan chairs, enjoying the sweet and slightly sour cool juice in the silver cup with a comfortable face.
"This thing tastes really good, but it's a pity that it's a long way away, and it won't be able to drink it when it arrives in our Red Sun City. A fat old man raised his head and drank dry, turned his head to look at the forest, and raised his voice: "Ganshi, you are numb with your hands and feet, it will take so long to catch the sap?"
"Here, here......" A dark-skinned shirtless old man quickly approached, inserted the short knife in his hand back into his waist, and carefully poured a pot of juice with a faint fragrance into the cups of several old men, and then filled it up after they drank it all.
A pot of sap quickly bottomed out, and the shirtless old man licked his chapped lips and turned around and ran under another big tree, cut a bark bend with a short knife, and leaned over the silver pot to catch the milky white sap flowing from the trunk.
"It's just a bunch of waste, why do you want us to come all the way to suffer?" An old man with ring-eyed eyes full of impatience flipped the cup in his hand between his five fingers and flipped it a few times: "When they reach the realm of Red Sun City, it's not too late for us to do it." ”
