Chapter Forty-Nine: An Undercurrent Surges
A day later, Xiang Yang and Xiang Feixue returned to Dongyun City, and they didn't stay long, and walked directly towards the Dongyun City martial arts.
"Dear Warrior, what kind of service do you need?" asked the reception lady with a smile.
"Then, can you help me make an appointment with the Commander-in-Chief?" asked Xiang Yang directly.
The samurai chief is the head of the samurai organization in the entire region, and is generally appointed by the superior samurai to lead the affairs of the samurai.
"This ...... Do you have an appointment?" asked the receptionist, her face a little embarrassed.
"Not really, but this matter is urgent, and I hope you can report it. Xiang Yang shook his head.
"Well, I'm sorry, but if you don't make an appointment, I won't be able to make an appointment for you to meet with the Consul General. The reception lady said apologetically.
"That's it......" Xiang Yang felt that his head was very big, and he had a feeling that he couldn't use his strength.
"Then, you can help me make an appointment with the elders or the deacons. Xiang Yang said with some eagerness.
"Well, if it's a deacon, I can help you make an appointment with Deacon Zhao, but I'm not sure if you can make an appointment, if you have some important information or items, the chance of success should be much higher. The reception lady looked at Xiang Yang so eagerly, and she couldn't bear it, so she said.
"Okay, please give this to Deacon Zhao. Xiang Yang handed the waist card engraved with "Zhang Ye" to the reception lady, and then the reception lady went to the second floor.
The reception lady came to a room on the second floor and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in!" a majestic voice sounded.
"Lord Deacon, excuse me, there's a warrior downstairs who wants to see you. The reception lady said respectfully.
"I don't see the old man busy. Deacon Zhao was a little dissatisfied, because he was practicing, and it was very uncomfortable to be interrupted at this time.
"This is what he is going to give you, that, I will tell him, sorry, Lord Deacon. The reception lady was a little aggrieved and handed over the waist card.
"Let's go, let's go!" Deacon Zhao looked impatient, took the waist card casually, glanced at the words on the waist card with his residual vision, and when he saw the two vigorous and powerful words "Zhang Ye", his whole body trembled, and the waist card in his hand fell straight to the ground.
"Slow...... Slow, hurry, please!" Deacon Zhao's face was full of cold sweat, he didn't expect that there would be a waist card of Zhang Ye, the chief manager of the Luo family, this is probably not a trivial matter.
"This, yes, Lord Deacon. The receptionist went down.
"Huhu ......" Deacon Zhao hurriedly calmed his mood, looking at this waist card like a hot potato.
Xiang Yang and Feixue were waiting in the hall of the martial arts, and when they saw the reception lady coming down, Xiang Yang came to the reception window again.
"Lord Warrior, Deacon Zhao is invited. The reception lady made a gesture of invitation, and then, the small door next to the reception window opened, and Xiang Yang and Feixue entered the inside of the martial arts family through the small door.
Under the leadership of the reception lady, Xiang Yang and Feixue came to Deacon Zhao's door, and then the reception lady knocked on the door.
"Lord Deacon, here they are. ”
"Come in!" only to hear an answer from inside.
The reception lady opened the door, then made a gesture of please, Xiang Yang and Feixue walked in, and then the reception lady gently pulled the door and left.
"Lord Deacon, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Xiang Yang saluted Deacon Zhao, and Feixue next to him stood behind Xiang Yang and also saluted.
"You two don't have to be polite, please sit down, please sit down......" Deacon Zhao was about thirty-five years old, his appearance was a little rough, and the stubble on his face added a bit of fierceness, but now he invited Xiang Yang and Feixue very politely.
"Thank you, Lord Deacon. Xiang Yang was not polite, and sat directly on the wooden chair on the side, while Feixue stood on Xiang Yang's side, without saying a word, Feixue was a little uncomfortable for this kind of occasion.
"That, the old man will also say it bluntly, how did you get the waist card brought by the two of you?" Deacon Zhao did not spare the bend, and cut directly into the main body.
"That's right, let's go to the Silent Forest......"
Xiang Yang began to tell Deacon Zhao about how he and Feixue went to the Silent Forest to investigate the cause of the construction worker's death, and then met the masked man in black, and finally killed the man in black after the battle and got this waist card.
At first, Deacon Zhao listened to what Xiang Yang said relatively calmly, but when he heard the relationship between the masked man in black and the waist card, his mouth began to twitch.
"You, you said you personally killed the masked man in black?" Deacon Zhao asked cautiously.
"Ah, yes, this masked man in black is extremely powerful, I'm afraid it is a master in some place, I don't know if Lord Deacon knows who the person on this waist card is?" asked Xiang Yang.
"Then, how many people still know about this?" Deacon Zhao did not directly answer Xiang Yang's question, and asked thoughtfully.
"I think the three of us should know, Lord Deacon, that this matter is probably very important, so please be sure to tell the Elders, and even the Commander-in-Chief. Xiang Yang said after thinking about it.
"That's okay, this matter can't be publicized, oh, I forgot to introduce myself, the old man is Zhao Li, the deacon of Dongyun City, I don't know what to call the little brother and the girl next to him?"
"In Xia Xiangyang, this is my sister Feixue, we are all from the Beiyue region, and now we are passing by here, and we have Deacon Lao to take care of us. Xiang Yang also identified himself to Deacon Zhao.
"It's easy to say, just now I asked Brother Yang about the character of this waist card, hehe, this character is amazing, it is Zhang Ye, the general manager of the Luo family, one of the four major families in Dongyun City. Zhao Li then told Xiang Yang about the origin of Zhang Ye.
"Luo family?" Xiang raised his eyebrows, his original impression of the Luo family was not good, first Luo Yong made things difficult for him for no reason, and then now there is this so-called Luo family chief for some reason, slaughtering the innocent people in the silent forest. He is now very disgusted with the Luo family, and Zhang Ye's massacre of passers-by in the Silent Forest is rarely supported by the Luo family's high-level leaders.
"That's right, I didn't expect the little brother to be able to kill such a strong man at such a young age, it really embarrassed the old man, now I'm afraid the Luo family doesn't know that Zhang Ye is dead, if he knows, I'm afraid the whole family will have to shake three points, haha." Don't worry, little brother Xiang Yang, the old man will definitely bring this news to the top of the martial family!" Zhao Li laughed and said, it seems that Zhao Li is also very unfriendly to the Luo family.
"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved, it's not too early, and I'm going to say goodbye to my sister in Xia. Xiang Yang nodded, and then offered his farewell.
"Okay, then go slowly!" Zhao Li also stood up and prepared to send Xiang Yang out.
Soon, Xiang Yang and Feixue left the martial arts family and returned to the Dongyun City Inn.
"Brother Yang, I feel that the martial arts family seems to be very happy that Zhang Ye is dead. Xiang Feixue asked.
"Hehe, that's natural, the martial arts of a region itself have a competitive and cooperative relationship with the City Lord's Mansion and the major families, and now the strength of the four major families in Dongyun City is too strong, if the four major families lose some strength, it is not surprising that the martial arts family is overjoyed. Xiang Yang explained.
"Oh, Feixue doesn't know much about this, hehe, anyway, just follow Brother Yang. Xiang Feixue smiled.
"Let's go, it seems that something big is going to happen in this Dongyun City these days. Xiang Yang had a hunch that the Luo family's attack was just a prelude to a storm, and the real wind and rain were still to come.
In the next few days, Xiang Yang and Fei Xue started cultivating again, Xiang Yang felt that his comprehension of the three-point sword qi had reached a new level, so he was ready to retreat and practice the three-point sword qi technique, and Feixue also began to cultivate the stable realm.
But the atmosphere of the Luo family at this time was extremely strange.
Luo's house, the hall of the head of the house.
"What's wrong with Zhang Ye, why is there no news yet?" Luo Yan slammed his hand on the table, and the teapot on the table was instantly knocked over.
"No, Lao Zhang has never missed a deal, and now there is no news just about this little thing, what's going on?" an old man wondered.
At this time, outside the hall of the head of the family, a figure hurriedly entered.
"Father, something is wrong!!" Luo Fei's face was extremely ugly. Luo Yan's heart sank when he saw this-this son of his own rarely had such a gaffe.
"What's wrong? Fei'er, what's the matter with your gaffe? Luo Yan asked.
"Father, Father, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, he was killed!" Luo Fei said the shocking news.
"What!" Luo Yan's eyes widened, and he stood up instantly, then sat down slowly, gritted his teeth and said, "Who did it?"
"This, the child doesn't know, but judging from the wounds, Uncle Zhang was hit by strange inflammation and sword wounds before he died, and the sword wound with the power of ice was the most deadly. Luo Fei shook his head hatefully, when he first heard the news, he was even more shocked than Luo Yan, Zhang Ye was Luo Fei's teacher since he was a child, and now Zhang Ye was killed, but he didn't even know the murderer.
"Sword wounds, those who can kill Zhang Ye must be masters of the Bone Forging Realm, there are not many such masters in Tianyun Kingdom, check it for me! Even if he digs three feet into the ground, the old man will let him break his body into ten thousand pieces!!" Luo Yan clenched his hands, and only heard a clattering sound.
"Also, call Rayong over! Didn't he act in the Silent Forest the other day? Luo Yan thought of something, so he said to Luo Fei.
"Yes, Father. Luo Fei replied and went out.
"This ...... I didn't expect Zhang Ye to be killed, which can be regarded as a surprise. The old man who had just spoken was obviously surprised and had not yet subsided.
"Elder Ling, this time the old man faintly felt a little scared. Luo Yan said slowly at this time, some of the things that happened now have exceeded their expectations.
"Family master, since our Luo family has chosen Prince Yunmu, then naturally we should do things for the prince, don't think about it. Now that Yun Feng, the king of Tianyun Kingdom, is terminally ill, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this month, and the next thing depends on the will of heaven. The old man known as Ling Lao dispelled Luo Yan's concerns in a few words.
Luo Yan nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Yes, we don't have to retreat!"
And this matter was recorded in the history of Wu, in May 1201 of the Wu calendar, Zhang Ye, the great elder of the Luo family in Dongyun City, died, and the reason is unknown.
