Different from the congestion on the official road outside the city, the gate of Wangliucheng was under the care of the defenders, maintaining an orderly appearance, and without too long of delay, Qin Sixteen passed through the city gate.

After entering the city, Qin Sixteen rode his horse, found the Xiao family compound where he had borrowed it, and under the stunned gaze of the gatekeeper, he uncovered the human skin mask on his face and walked in with a big grin.

Although the servants in the courtyard did not forget Qin Sixteen's appearance, they did not expect that the person who had been missing for so long would be able to swagger in, and Qin Sixteen's behavior was very natural, as if he was going home, and the servants forgot to stop him for a while.

After a while, Xiao Kuang, the young master of the Xiao family, appeared in the lobby, looking at Qin Sixteen, who was sitting on the side, and his heart was also mixed. Too many things have happened during this time, even if their Xiao family is the top wealthy family in this Shengxin country, they may not have the certainty of surviving the current calamity.

"Brother Qin, you can be regarded as back!" Xiao Kuang arched his hand at Qin Sixteen, sat on the chair next to Qin Sixteen, and began to instruct his subordinates to hand over tea, and asked with concern, "Is my little sister okay now?"

The little county lord suddenly lost contact with the family, the Xiao family naturally would not ignore it, Qin Sixteen's shot in Tongxiang Building that day was also quite eye-catching, as long as Xiao Kuang was not an idiot, he would naturally know that it was Qin Sixteen who saved Xiao Duxue. After all, there is only one great grandmaster who is wrapped in blood-colored internal qi.

Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Qin Sixteen slowly spoke: "The county lord is very safe with me, and the situation is unclear now, so it is better to let the county lord stay in Tongzhou City, which is the closest to Yuxiao Mountain, according to the prince's instructions." ”

When he said the words "Yuxiao Mountain", Qin Sixteen deliberately added a tone, wanting to see something from Xiao Kuang's expression. But it's a pity that Qin Sixteen was disappointed, this young master of the Xiao family didn't seem to know as much about Yuxiao Mountain as he did.

"What does Twilight Snow have to do with Yuxiao Mountain?" Xiao Kuang asked rhetorically with a confused expression.

"It's nothing, this is the prince's arrangement, and the county lord himself also means this, she doesn't plan to leave Tongzhou City for the time being. Pushing everything to King Li, Qin Sixteen said indifferently.

Hearing the name of King Li, the sadness on Xiao Kuang's face became even greater, the Xiao family and King Li are allies tied to the same chariot, now that Tiansheng has been sealed for so long, except for the text of the crusade against the demon cultivator, there is no news from King Li, which also makes the Xiao family leaning towards King Li's side feel great pressure.

"I heard that Brother Qin has mastered the Secret Key Pavilion?" Forcibly abandoning the worries about the future of the family in his heart, Xiao Kuang asked the question he was most concerned about. As one of the representatives of the local wealthy clans, the Xiao family is no stranger to the name of the Dark Key Pavilion, and they even had a transaction with the Dark Key Pavilion during the Qi Dynasty.

Qin Sixteen showed a noncommittal look and nodded, "It's just a coincidence!"

Although he had already had a plan in his heart, when he heard Qin Sixteen admit it himself, Xiao Kuang still gasped and was a little shocked.

The Dark Key Pavilion is just a force in the rivers and lakes, although there is a great master Qi Cheng in charge, but in the eyes of many powerful and wealthy families, it is not worth mentioning at all. Because the Dark Key Pavilion has always only dared to accept vendetta missions from some small families or gangs, it has no reputation in the upper class of Sheng Xin Kingdom.

But whenever it involves the tasks of the eunuchs and nobles, Qi Ling will not accept them. Like Kong Ji, the city lord of Tongzhou City, and Kong Houhu, whom he brought from his family, they had never even heard of the existence of such an organization.

But after Qin Sixteen entered the Dark Key Pavilion, everything changed. slaughtered five hundred defenders in one night, and forced the city lord of Tongzhou to open the city gate all night, and no defenders were allowed to be on duty.

The county lord of the Xiao family disappeared in Tongzhou City, and the city lord of Tongzhou also sealed the city with great fanfare, so how could the Xiao family not know? It's just that the situation is unpredictable, and the cities in various places have gathered troops to stand in line, and they can only secretly send people to support.

Although the county lord didn't find it, the clansmen who went to Tongzhou to investigate the situation brought back quite exciting news. The city lord's mansion of Tongzhou City was slaughtered for two whole nights, each time only the city lord Kong Ji was left, and the soldiers who died on the second night were as high as more than 500.

Later, Tongzhou City opened its city gates, and at the same time, there was a new news on the rivers and lakes, the pavilion master of the Dark Key Pavilion had been replaced! A grandmaster-level master named Qin Fen replaced Qi Ling and successfully ascended to the throne.

Qin Fen is the person wanted by the Qin family of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and what Qin Changsong advertises to the outside world is that this Qin Fen is the stand-in and bodyguard they arranged for Sheng Xin's Heavenly Master Qin Sixteen, and he is the slave of the Qin family. But it was this lowly slave who stole the Heavenly Master's Order that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so he set a reward and wanted Qin Fen throughout the country.

As the person on King Li's side, he was the Xiao family who had taken in Qin Sixteen, so when Xiao Kuang received the news that the pavilion master of the Dark Key Pavilion was named Qin Fen for the first time, he already had a plan in his heart.

"With Brother Qin's power today, my little sister is safer with you. Xiao Kuang said melancholy, now that the King of Li and the Emperor have not yet decided the winner, Sheng Xin's future situation is still unknown, if the King of Li is defeated, their Xiao family will also usher in a catastrophe. Therefore, Xiao Duxue is now following Qin Sixteen, but it is safer than in the Xiao family.

"Qin came here today because he wanted to ask Brother Xiao for help!" Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Qin Sixteen got straight to the point.

"What's the matter?" Brother Qin said, but it doesn't matter!" Xiao Kuang's eyebrows shrugged, and he said with a straight face.

Strictly speaking, Qin Sixteen is also a person of King Li, and King Li once saved his life. Now that Qin Sixteen has saved Xiao Duxue in turn, it also proves that he is indeed trustworthy.

In the past, Qin Sixteen and Xiao Duxue lived together in Wangliu City, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a good impression between the two.

If King Li fails in the uprising and has been crowned in the royal capital, their Xiao clan will inevitably be wiped out. At that time, the eldest brother is like a father, and Xiao Kuang, as the elder brother, also has the intention of entrusting Xiao Duxue to Qin Sixteen. Therefore, as long as Qin Sixteen's request was not too excessive, Xiao Kuang would definitely agree.

"It's not a big deal," Qin Sixteen grinned and said slowly, "It's just that some of the goods and brothers under my command have nowhere to go for the time being, and I want Brother Xiao to arrange a place in the city for them to settle down." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" The teacup in Xiao Kuang's hand trembled slightly, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his head, and he agreed with a wry smile.

Although Wangliucheng is very crowded now, with his status as the young master of the Xiao family, it is not a problem to arrange a place for ordinary people to settle down. It's just that the brothers who can follow Qin Sixteen's hands will be ordinary people?
