Chapter 106: The name of a man, the shadow of a tree
The Huo family's mansion.
As soon as Huo Xiao's car drove into the garden, he saw his second brother Huo Lei driving out in a hurry, so Huo Xiao lowered the window and asked Huo Lei: "It's time for dinner soon, what are you doing out?"
"Big brother, I still have something to do, so I won't eat at home, that's all" Huo Lei dressed like a swinger, answered Huo Xiao casually, and then kicked the accelerator and left.
Huo Xiao was a little dissatisfied, there was such a big thing in the family, but the second brother didn't know at all, he spent all day drinking with a group of fox friends and dog friends, but after thinking about it, this is not bad, the old man told me instead of Huo Lei, it seems that there is no problem for me to inherit the family business.
Soon, Huo Xiao walked into the house, and the old housekeeper came over and said, "Da Shao, the master is waiting for you in the study."
"Got it, Fauber"
He nodded, and then walked quickly to the door of the old man's study, and gently slammed the door with his hand: "Daddy, I'm Huo Xiao"
The voice of Huo Xingge, the old man of the Huo family, sounded inside: "Come in"
Huo Xiao pushed the door and left, and found that in addition to the old man, there was also a gray-robed and long-bearded old man with a demure and elegant temperament, it was Zhou Boxuan, the master of Xiangcheng mysticism, he immediately saluted and said: "Master Zhou, you are also here, Huo Xiao is polite."
Master Zhou smiled slightly, "Big Young, please take a seat, Master Huo has been waiting for you for a long time"
"Sit down, Master Zhou has something to ask you," Old Man Huo also added, "What did you say was the name of the person who came to visit the Huo family tonight?"
"He said that his surname was Jiang Ming'an, and he didn't look to be more than thirty years old," Huo Xiao, who sat down, said honestly.
When Master Zhou heard this, he immediately stroked his beard under his chin, first groaned, and then said, "That should be the person that the old man knows."
"Who is it?" Old Man Huo hurriedly asked, Huo Xiao was also curious.
Master Zhou looked unfathomable, and instead of answering, he said: "Things have come to this point, I think Master Huo, you still have to find out everything with the big and young."
"Yes, what Master Zhou said is right, Daddy, you only told me that there is a great enemy of the Huo family who wants to seek revenge, and if the Huo family is not careful, the Huo family may be destroyed, but you don't tell me the specific reason" Huo Xiao also echoed.
Old Man Huo gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make it clear, Xiao'er, do you remember that I told you that when I was not yet developed, there was a sworn brother?"
"Remember, you're talking about that Tang Xianbo? Hasn't he been dead for many years?"
"Yes, he has been dead for many years, and this time it is Tang Xianbo's son who came to seek revenge, Tang Yaozu, he thinks that Tang Xianbo's death is related to me, and said that I robbed the foundation of the Tang family to create the current Guo family, this time he came back to take everything back, if it was an ordinary person, I would naturally not be afraid of him, but he has been in Nanyang for many years, I don't know how to learn a Nanyang evil art, and there is a lot of power behind it, if he insists on revenge, the Guo family will be in trouble"
Looking at the old man's serious and worried expression, Huo Xiao knew that what his father said was true, and he would not ask whether Tang Xianbo's death was related to his father, after thinking about it, he said: "Nanyang evil arts, I have seen it, it is a bit crazy, what kind of poison, curse, spirit descent, etc., but isn't there Master Zhou?"
"If he is alone and open-minded, the old man can still deal with it" Master Zhou affirmed himself first, "However, he has a helper, the most powerful killer organization in Southeast Asia, 'Yama Luomen', is his backer, and the old man can't be outnumbered after all."
Yamamin?
Huo Xiao was shocked in his heart, this killer organization has only been in existence for a few years, but it has become famous, and even Huo Xiao himself has done something with it, he has some understanding of the horror of this organization, and there is no task that he has not completed once, but when this terrifying organization becomes his enemy, it is the greatest horror.
"Daddy, why don't we seek help from the government for such a big matter? If the Xiangcheng government can't do it, we will ask the central government for help, presumably the central government will not sit idly by, no matter how powerful Yama Lamin is, dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the world's powerful countries?" Huo Xiao thought of course.
When Old Man Huo heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Well, let's not think about it for the time being, first, that the avenger Tang Yaozu seems to have mastered some things that are not conducive to the Huo family, and second, even if we ask the official to come forward, it will annoy these outlaws, the central government can control it for a while, but it can't control it for a lifetime, and it will not be the Huo family who will suffer at that time?"
As soon as he heard this, Huo Xiao understood his father's difficulties, the capital accumulation of every rich man must be accompanied by some unsightly things, who would send the handle to the hands of the official? Another point, the old man Huo has been in the colonial era for most of his life, and his interaction with the central government is a little awkward, in recent years, the second-generation children of Huo Xiao have a good relationship with the central government, and even if the central government sends people to help them survive the catastrophe, but the things that follow will be powerless, and it is impossible to send people overseas to kill all the Yama Gates.
This situation is like the kidnapper's request not to call the police, otherwise it will be a greater retaliation.
Huo Xiao deliberately didn't mention anything that embarrassed his father, and asked, "Then how did my father deal with it before, relying on the Divine Medicine Mountain?"
"Yes, it's Shenyao Mountain, after all, the two sides have had several transactions, and there is always a bit of incense love, you also know that Shenyao Mountain has a lot of connections and is also very influential, and in some ways it is bigger than the face of Huguo Villa, so my original meaning was to ask Shenyao Mountain to mediate in the center, so that the two sides can sit down and talk" Old Man Huo sighed, "How do you know that the people of Shenyao Mountain can't be contacted now, and there are extraneous branches, by the way, Master Zhou, you should also tell me who this Mr. Jiang An is"
Huo Xiao also looked at Master Zhou.
"It seems that Master Huo hasn't paid attention to the dynamics of the cultivation circle for a long time, and he doesn't know about such a big thing" Master Zhou laughed, and then said: "This person was born out of thin air, and in less than half a year, he broke into a famous place, and now he is the person of the Protector Villa..."
Hearing that Jiang An was the person from the Protector Villa, although the Huo family father and son were a little surprised and confused, they could still accept it, but Master Zhou's next words immediately made their faces change greatly!
"If the rumors are correct, the Juggernaut Organization, the Blood Moon, the Snake Cave, and the Divine Medicine Mountain have all been defeated in his hands, and there are at least nine grandmaster-level masters who have died in his hands! The Juggernaut Organization even gave him the name 'Demon Man', which means a person who specializes in opposing the gods, and what's even more powerful is that a few days ago, the Onmyoji of the Great Onmyoji of the Wa Kingdom made an appointment with him to fight, and the two sides are scheduled to fight on the Great Lonely Reef on the second day of the second month of February, which can be said to be the hottest news in the cultivation circle at the moment."
The world's first multinational organization?
Blood Moon, Snake Cave, one of the world's top killer organizations, I don't know how many times more powerful than the first Yama in Southeast Asia!
Is it known as the Divine Medicine Mountain in the middle of a mountain and a valley that no one dares to mess with?
Kamiya Zhenren? This is the top person that Old Man Huo has known since he was a child.
So many big forces, so many big people, all of them were offended by this Jiang An, and he still lives until now?
With a bunch of big forces to compare, the Huo family's father and son suddenly understood the status and prestige of this Jiang An, such a famous person, the Huo family didn't know?
There is no way, although Xiangcheng is an international metropolis, and the wind of metaphysics is also prevalent, but after all, it is a land of projectiles, too small, with the size of Dongfang Province, there are only a few grandmasters who can be born locally, not to mention Xiangcheng? It is undeniable that there were many martial arts sects in Xiangcheng in the past, and the masters were like clouds, but there was a big premise, that is, the continuous wars in the interior at that time, forcing those sects or masters to come to Xiangcheng, a relatively stable and peaceful place to seek refuge, which naturally led to the prosperity of Xiangcheng's local martial arts, but now the general trend has changed, and the mainland can compare with Xiangcheng if you pull out a first-tier city, where the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, and the luck of the martial arts has gone back, which has caused the current situation in Xiangcheng, and there are still two or three masters in the mystic vein who can support it, but there is no martial arts master, with the financial resources of the Huo family, it can reach the level of the wealthy family in the mainland, but when it comes to grandmasters, they are far from it, and they usually turn to a few masters for help.
The special cultural atmosphere makes these rich people a little complacent, no wonder they don't even know who Jiang An is.
"This Mr. Jiang is a person from the Protector Villa, so there shouldn't be any malice, but what is he doing here" Old Man Huo asked Master Zhou.
That's what matters most at the moment.
