Chapter 229: The Bai Family's Goal
Somewhere in Longyun Mountain, a small village that has been abandoned for a long time...
This place was originally called Peach Blossom Village, named after the many peach trees outside the village, and it decayed because of the attack of demon beasts thirty years ago, leaving only this desolate village empty.
Ten years ago, the property was bought by a mysterious family lady, but it was only a simple rectification and remained the same.
Then many years have passed, this place is unknown, and few people know that there is a village here, even the old people who have lived in Jianghai County for many years do not know that there is such a place.
But here, a group of people have recently come to work here, which seems to be unusual.
In an adobe house in the middle of the village, a man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old was tied to a chair with a black cloth covering his eyes and a mouth ball.
The surroundings seem to be humid, perhaps due to a few recent autumn rains.
I don't know how long it has been since he was tied here, no one came or cared for, I thought there would be torture and torture waiting for him, but he didn't show up.
Not being able to speak and see things made him feel bad.
This is the current situation of Xu Tiankai.
Yesterday, Xu Tiankai watched a young man in white defeat Qi Chu and the others without knowing anything, and then came to him, and then with a sharp pain, Xu Tiankai fainted, and until now, he woke up not long ago.
But he didn't eat anything in a day, and he didn't even have the strength to run away without a sip of water.
He especially shouted to me: Whoever comes to loosen my bonds, as long as he can eat, he can do whatever he wants.
As he battled hunger, there was a sound of footsteps, and not long after, the door was pushed open with a loud noise.
"Ma'am!" a respectful voice came from the man's mouth.
Xu Tiankai was puzzled when he heard this title, and it was the wife of a certain family who kidnapped him.
In an instant, he thought that the other party was coming for Xu Qiming.
"Well, loosen the balls and the black cloth. A familiar female voice came, and Xu Tiankai faintly felt that he had heard it somewhere.
"Yes!" The man replied, walked over and untied the mouth ball in Xu Tiankai's mouth, and then the black cloth was also untied, and suddenly a dazzling sunlight came into Xu Tiankai's eyes, because he suddenly saw the light from the dark environment, Xu Tiankai's eyes were very uncomfortable after being blindfolded by the black cloth for a day, which made his eyes a little painful.
"Hey, I said madam, why did you tie me here, you have a nice voice, and you look good, you don't think you have a crush on me as an old man, do you? Unfortunately, I tell you that I have a wife, I'm sorry. Strong stimulation Xu Tiankai subconsciously closed his eyes, adjusting his eyes, Xu Tiankai did not forget to tease.
The father-in-law laughed, the little woman is a married woman, how can she be arrogant. The other laughed back.
"Huh?" Xu Tiankai was stunned for a moment, and looked at it with some recovered eyes, standing in front of him was his own mother-in-law, Bai Yuexi, and the white-clothed young man who broke into his house yesterday and knocked him unconscious.
In this situation, how could Xu Tiankai not understand that it was Bai Yuexi's attention to arrest himself.
Bai Yuexi naturally didn't need to say much, his daughter-in-law Wang Yuan's mother, but he didn't understand why the other party couldn't get along with him.
"It turned out to be your mother-in-law, which scared me. Xu Tiankai smiled and twisted his restrained body: "Please let my mother loosen the tie for me." ”
"How can this be? My father-in-law, I finally invited you here. Bai Yuexipi said with a smile.
"So, why did my mother-in-law invite me here, shouldn't I be using me to force Qiming to return to the Western District?" Xu Tiankai said, the word please bit very hard, as if he was sarcastic about Bai Yuexi.
"Giggles, my father-in-law will really laugh, my eldest daughter married into your family, and the West District was sent to your family as a dowry, how can you force it to be returned?" Bai Yuexi smiled.
"Then what is the purpose of inviting me here? There must be a reason for kidnapping me, Madam Bai, I remember that I have never provoked you, and with your net worth, it seems that you are not a master who is short of money. Xu Tiankai sighed and asked.
"It's okay, the little woman will tell you..."Bai Yueling turned around, and his voice suddenly became serious: "Are you Xu Tiankai?" ”
"Yes, isn't this obvious?" Xu Tiankai replied with a puzzled expression.
"I'm not talking about you, it's Xu Tiankai, who is known as the world's number one martial monarch!" Bai Yuexi turned his head sharply and leaned in front of Xu Tiankai, with a strong gaze flashing in his eyes: "Answer me, are you him?" ”
"It's not..."Xu Tiankai still looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Really?" Bai Yuexi was stunned for a moment, still disbelieving it, and took out a portrait from his hand: "The man on this is very similar to you in terms of body shape and everything, but this face is very young, but after so many years, it's okay to be older, and you can still see the similarity with you, you really don't know who it is?"
Bai Yuexi asked unwillingly.
"I'm sorry, madam, I really don't know what you're talking about? There are a lot of people in the world who look the same, not to mention that this one is not very similar, so you are arresting me for this?" Xu Tiankai said strangely.
"No, your birth is very strange..."Bai Yuexi didn't believe Xu Tiankai's words, she shook her head, and said with a straight face: " Your appearance is very coincidental, you appeared in Jianghai County sixteen years ago, with two children, that year happened to be the time of the three major families in the big melee, and it was also that year, the Bai family defeated the old enemy in Longhai County, and your birth I Bai family can't investigate, your birthplace, your parents, it seems that they don't exist, everything about you is the same as that mysterious martial monarch, and his whereabouts disappeared sixteen years ago, this is definitely not a coincidence, answer me, who are you?"
"I'm Xu Tiankai... That's all. Xu Tiankai shrugged.
"Is it the legendary world's number one martial monarch Xu Tiankai, or the old man Xu Tiankai in front of me?" Bai Yuexi also began to shake when he saw Xu Tiankai's appearance.
"Whatever you want, I'm a martial artist anyway. "Xu Tiankai looks like you love to believe it or not.
"How could it be?" Bai Yuexi frowned: "Are you hiding your true strength?"
"How can this be the case, why didn't I kill this fellow Daoist yesterday when she came?" Xu Tiankai looked at the man in white on the side and said.
"Huh?" Bai Yuexi fell into deep thought.
"Madam, he really didn't react when I made a move yesterday, and after checking it below, the other party really only had the breath of a martial artist, and there was no sign of any exercises. The eagle-like eyes of the man in white stared at Xu Tiankai tightly, and at the same time walked to Bai Yuexi's side and said.
"Well, are you sure?" Bai Yuexi was stunned.
"I checked it twice, and it really didn't. The man in white shook his head.
"Impossible, is it really as rumored that Xu Tiankai is dead!" Bai Yuexi was still unwilling, but according to her analysis, she still felt that if Xu Tiankai had not become a martial saint, then he might have fallen now.
It's just that as soon as she thought of this, she was a little unwilling, the Bai family had been looking for someone for so long, and she disappeared like this.
No one knew how excited Bai Yuexi was when she learned of the existence of Xu Tiankai in front of her.
For a long time, the Bai family has been looking for the existence of this so-called number one martial monarch in the world.
"Madam, why are you so concerned, as far as I know, that Xu Tiankai, who has the same name as me, is just a loser. Xu Tiankai shook his head helplessly and asked.
"Well, you know him too?" Bai Yuexi asked curiously.
"It's not that you know, at most you can understand it, after all, what he did back then was quite big, and no one in the whole Dongzhou didn't know?" Xu Tiankai said with a smile, because his name was the same as that Wujun over the years, Xu Tiankai was also asked by many people what his relationship was with that Wujun.
"My Bai family used to be a small family, and I can become the current leader of Longhai County, and I was named Longhai Hou by the lord of the country, most of which depends on the help of this martial monarch, if it weren't for him killing most of the strong men of the Meng family and severely hitting the head of the Meng family, Meng Yanting, how can my Bai family have today, and now, my Bai family is looking for this senior, of course, it is also to cooperate with him, and ask him to go out of the mountain to help us and take Yuanzhou. Bai Yuexi bowed his head slightly and said, while secretly observing Xu Tiankai's reaction.
Because if the other party is really that person, there will definitely be a reaction.
It's a pity that she did all this in vain, because Xu Tiankai didn't react at all, as if she was listening to a story.
"I see, I'm sorry, I'm not that person..."Xu Tiankai smiled: "That, mother-in-law, can you give me something to eat, I didn't eat." ”
"Of course it's no problem, I've been offended a lot before... I hope you will forgive me. Bai Yuexi smiled bitterly: "Bai Shaoyu, go and bring the good wine and food I prepared for my father-in-law, and send my father-in-law back when I finish eating." ”
Xu Tiankai didn't want to admit it, but Bai Yuexi still didn't believe it, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Yes. After Bai Shaoyu finished speaking, he left the house, took the wine and food that had been prepared from the carriage outside, and brought it over.
"Please use it. Bai Yuexi smiled.
"Haha, thank you. After Xu Tiankai finished speaking, Bai Shaoyu untied the restraints on his body for him, and then he couldn't wait to go over, sat on the ground and grabbed a piece of beef and moved his index finger, completely ignoring the appearance of eating, it can be seen that he is really hungry.
"Bai Shaoyu, you step down. Bai Yuexi didn't think there was any problem, if Xu Tiankai didn't eat so quickly, there would still be a problem.
Bai Shaoyu nodded, and then left.
Bai Yuexi watched Xu Tiankai eat, the appearance of the meal was indeed unsightly, but it further showed that many people were mortals.
A real martial artist, but he can be called a demigod...
"Being so hungry and unbearable, it seems that there are indeed no strong cultivators. Bai Yuexi thought secretly.
But at this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside the courtyard, interrupting her thoughts...
