Chapter Seventy-Four: The Five Elders Talk Secretly
"You...... You ......" Shangguan Wenjing stared at Zhang Hao deadly, his chest rising and falling, showing his unsettled heart.
Shangguan Wenjing, one of the five elders of the Shangguan family, actually suffered a loss, at the hands of a young man who seemed to be about twenty years old.
Everyone's jaws pulled in shock, and their eyes fell to the ground.
Shangguan Wenjing was angry and was about to make another move, when he suddenly interrupted him with a shout.
"Old Five, stop!"
Shangguan Wenjing's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Big brother, he killed Bao'er." ”
Shangguan Qitian, the patriarch of the Shangguan family and the city lord of Shangguan City, shook his head slightly and said, "Stop!" ”
For his eldest brother, Shangguan Wenjing didn't dare to contradict him, and stopped stupidly.
Shangguan Qitian looked at Zhang Hao and the others, his eyes flashed, and said, "I don't know who Gongzi is?" ”
Zhang Hao smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency is the Shangguan City Lord?" ”
Zhang Hao didn't answer Shangguan Qitian's question, but asked him. Shangguan Qitian was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said, "Childe knows Qingtian?" ”
"Qingtian? Tsing Yi Juggernaut? Zhang Hao didn't know why Shangguan Qitian asked like this, but he still shook his head truthfully.
Shangguan Qitian breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, glanced at Shangguan Bao, who died tragically on the ground, and said, "Childe, the dog died tragically, what do you explain?" ”
When Zhu Jiu heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Your son doesn't accumulate yin virtue, he was killed by someone pulling out his tongue, and he can't complain about others." ”
When Shangguan Wenjing heard this, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Okay, you dead fat pig, what are you talking about?" ”
When Zhu Jiu heard this, he was not afraid of him, pursed his lips, and shouted: "You are a defeated general, what are you crying about?" ”
Shangguan Wenjing was stunned, his angry hair stood upside down, and he shouted, "You ......"
Zhang Hao frowned slightly, and said, "Shangguan City Lord, the noble son Shangguan Baozhen was not killed by us. ”
Shangguan Qitian's face turned cold, his eyes stared at Zhang Hao, and he didn't say a word.
Shangguan Xuechen, the second elder of Shangguan, stepped forward and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that you didn't kill the person?" ”
"Shangguan Xuechen, if you don't know the old way, it will work!" Hao Tong slowly stepped forward, took out a cyan sign from his arms, and showed it up.
"Shouyang Peak Hao Tong!" Shangguan Xuechen's eyes narrowed and said softly.
Shangguan Qi Tian suddenly laughed, stepped forward and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the head of the Hao channel of Shouyang Peak, Qi Tian is polite here." ”
Hao Tong smiled lightly, and also arched his hand: "Shangguan City Lord, this Zhang Gongzi is my friend of Shouyang Peak. ”
Shangguan Qitian glanced at Zhang Hao, smiled again, and said, "It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, we don't know each other if we don't fight!" ”
Zhang Hao smiled lightly and said, "Shangguan City Lord is polite, I still say the same thing, your son was not killed by us." ”
Shangguan Qitian looked at Zhang Hao and smiled without saying a word, his eyes flashed, and said, "Zhang Gongzi is so confident? ”
Zhang Hao laughed and said, "Because there is no need for that, it is the embodiment of strength!" ”
Shangguan Qitian and Zhang Hao looked at each other for a long time, and the two of them laughed out loud in the end, and everyone was confused.
"Zhang Gongzi, please!" Shangguan Qitian made a gesture of invitation and said.
Zhang Hao was not affectionate, and left first with his hands behind his back. Zhu Jiu, Seven Killers, Hao Tong and Lu Ying also followed.
After Zhang Hao and the others left, Shangguan Qitian's face suddenly became gloomy, and he glanced at Shangguan Xuechen and the others.
……
Shangguan City Lord's Mansion.
Everyone sat down, and a maid brought tea and other things, and Zhang Hao and the others were chatting without a word.
"Haha......, when the distinguished guest comes, Shangguan Qitian has lost his welcome, disrespectful and disrespectful!" At this moment, the five elders of Shangguan strode over, and Shangguan Qi Tian, who was the leader, laughed and laughed.
Zhu Jiuyi looked at it and muttered in a low voice: "What an old fox, his son is so happy when he dies, according to my old Zhu, there are too many children in his Shangguan family, and he doesn't care if he dies one or two." ”
Zhang Hao heard it clearly when he was close to Zhu Jiu, and suddenly his old face darkened, and he glared at him fiercely. Zhu Jiu laughed, picked up a cup of tea and swallowed it in one gulp like a donkey drinking water.
The five elders of Shangguan sat down, and Shangguan Qitian spoke: "Hao channel chief, is Qingyang a real person?" ”
The corners of Hao Tong's mouth curled slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the Shangguan City Lord, the senior brother has a strong body, and his cultivation is improving day by day. ”
Shangguan Qi Tianpi nodded with a smile and said in a low voice: "That's good, that's good!" ”
Shangguan Xuechen's eyes flashed, and he said, "Channel Master Hao, a few days ago, I heard that many disciples of Shouyang Peak died for no reason, and Xiao Shifeng was attacked by unknown ghosts and almost wiped out the sect, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Among the five elders of Shangguan, Shangguan Qitian is a hero, Shangguan Xuechen is the think tank of the Shangguan family, and the other three elders are still very convinced of the two elder brothers.
Hao Tong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Don't hide it from the second city lord, Shouyang Peak does have a lot of disciples, and Xiao Shifeng is indeed almost wiped out, but ......"
Zhang Hao listened to the words of both sides in his ears, and unconsciously the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that the forces of the north and the south are indeed not in harmony, and both sides are testing each other in their words." ”
Shangguan Xuechen's eyes lit up, and he frowned lightly and said, "Channel Chief Hao, but what?" ”
Hao Tong's gaze swept over the five elders of Shangguan in turn, and said, "But we have already found out the reason." ”
Shangguan Xuechen frowned and said, "Oh? I don't know if it's convenient for Hao Daochang to reveal it, so I can go to Shangguancheng and prepare in advance. ”
Hao Tong smiled lightly and said, "Where are the two city lords, we are all the cultivators of the Five Finger Realm, and it is appropriate to help each other, Lao Dao, I came this time specifically to inform the five city lords." ”
"Hmph, who knows what kind of heart you have!" Shangguan Wenjing was already holding his stomach, and from the moment he entered the lobby, he stared at Zhang Hao with a pair of bull's eyes and looked at him provocatively, but Zhang Hao had been drinking tea leisurely, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Old Five, what are you talking about!" When Shangguan Qitian heard this, his old face suddenly pulled and he scolded.
Shangguan Wenjing pursed his lips and tilted his head over.
Shangguan Qitian shook his head helplessly, bowed his hand to Hao Tong, and said, "Don't mind Hao Daochang, my fifth child is a rough person, please bear more if you don't get there." ”
Hao Tong also bowed his hand and saluted back: "Where did the Shangguan City Lord say, the north and the south are not divided into each other, and the family doesn't speak the words of the two families, so it's polite." ”
Shangguan Qitian laughed and said, "I don't know what happened to Channel Chief Hao, please continue." ”
Hao Tong took a sip of tea slowly, and then said lightly: "After our investigation, it was the headless corpse that attacked the various factions. ”
"Headless corpses?"
The five elders of Shangguan were all taken aback, and they all glanced at each other, and they all saw the incredulity in their eyes.
Shangguan Qi Tian sneered and said, "Channel Commander Hao, you said that it was the various factions attacked by the headless corpse, this ...... That's weird, isn't it? ”
Hao Tong shook his head lightly and said, "Lao Dao also thinks it's incredible, and I'm afraid that the headless corpse will attack Shangguan City next." ”
Shangguan Qitian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Channel Chief Hao, can you tell me more details, why did the headless corpse come all the way from the south to the north to attack my Shangguan City?" ”
Hao Tong shook his head slightly, and said, "Shangguan City Lord doesn't know something, this is also some of the rules we have figured out, it's just speculation." This Hao Tong seems to be crazy, but he is unambiguous in major matters, the questions and answers are orderly, what should be said and what should not be said is not revealed a word.
Shangguan Qitian slowly sat back on the chair, nodded, and said: "Shangguan Qitian has thanked Hao Daochang here, so let's do it, Hao Daochang has worked all the way, and he is here today for this, it is better to go down and rest first, the subordinate has already prepared a first-class wing." ”
When Zhu Jiu heard this, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I didn't even give us a meal, so I let us go down to rest, it's really stingy." ”
Although Zhu Jiu's words were small, they were clear, and everyone heard them clearly.
Shangguan Wenjing saw that he was about to have another seizure, and Shangguan Qingyun on the side held him down and shook his head slightly.
Shangguan Qitian laughed and said, "Hey, it's Shangguan Qitian who is rude, the old man has just lost his son, and he is upset, but he forgot about this stubble." Then he said loudly: "Someone, prepare a meal for a few distinguished guests." ”
"No!" Then there were men who went to work.
Zhang Hao and the others walked out of the lobby under the leadership of the subordinates.
After Zhang Hao and the others left, Shangguan Qitian's face became gloomy, and he slowly sat back in his chair, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shangguan Wenjing said angrily: "Big brother, that old way is obviously nonsense, why is the eldest brother still polite to them?" ”
Shangguan Xuechen shook his head slightly, and said, "Fifth brother, don't talk nonsense, the origin of these people is not simple. ”
Shangguan Wenjing was stunned for a moment and said, "What's not simple? ”
The corners of Shangguan Xuechen's mouth curled, revealing a cold smile, and said, "Especially the young man who is fighting with you, Hao Tong, as the elder of Shouyang Mountain, is respectful to him, and I don't know what his origin is......
Shangguan Qitian nodded in agreement and said, "And that young man has made supernatural powers ......."
The fourth Shangguan Minghe exclaimed: "Big brother, that young man is ...... But the 'Great Yan Sword Technique'? ”
Shangguan Qitian nodded noncommittally and said, "That's right, it is indeed the Great Yan Sword Technique, and judging by its power, it is even more complete than ours, don't forget it, what we cultivate is only the lower half." ”
The five elders of Shangguan nodded approvingly.
Suddenly, Shangguan Xuechen's eyes flashed, and he said, "Big brother, what do you say that young man has to do with Tsing Yi Sword Saint Qingtian?" ”
"Tsing Yi Sword Master?" Shangguan Wulao's faces all changed.
When it comes to the Sword Saint in Tsing Yi, I am afraid that the people in the Five Finger Realm who know him are very afraid, and he can defeat the number one master in the Five Finger Realm, Shouyang Zhenren, at a young age, and become recognized as the number one master in the world.
"Second brother, are you saying that he is a descendant of the Tsing Yi Sword Saint or simply someone from his sect who came to take revenge?" Shangguan Qitian's eyes flashed, and he analyzed. The thought of this made his heart calm.
"No, we did that thing unknowingly, they can't know, but that young man must have a lot to do with the Tsing Yi Sword Saint, and we have to be careful afterwards." Shangguan Xuechen's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.
"Hmph, big brother, if that young man really came back to take revenge, it would be better for us to strike first." Shangguan Wenjing's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he made a motion to wipe his neck as he spoke.
For a long time, Shangguan Qitian didn't speak again, and finally nodded, his eyes flashed, and said, "Our exercises are not complete, if we have the opportunity, we will snatch them over." ”
The other four elders nodded approvingly.
Shangguan Qitian looked at the four brothers and said, "But you are not allowed to act without my order, so as not to startle the snake, especially your fifth brother, remember?" ”
Shangguan Wenjing nodded curtly, not to mention, he really had this idea just now, Shangguan Qitian is worthy of being the boss of the five Shangguan brothers, and he knows his brother's temper well.
Shangguan Qitian looked at the direction of the lobby, took out a painting from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Okay, this matter will end here first, let's solve the threat in front of us first." ”
The other four elders stepped forward and looked at the table, and saw that there was a picture on the table, with three imps on it, two of them pressed one person to the ground, and the other imp was holding a huge pair of pliers in his hand, and was cutting out the man's tongue.
"Big brother, this ...... What is it? When Shangguan Wenjing saw it, he suddenly stared at the boss and exclaimed.
The other three elders also looked at Shangguan Qitian, looking puzzled. It's just that Shangguan Xuechen's old face turned pale all of a sudden, and his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shangguan Qitian took a deep breath and said, "I also received this painting last night, I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now it seems ......"
"Imp tongue pulling?" Shangguan Xuechen muttered, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Big brother, what do you mean about Bao'er's death......
Shangguan Qitian nodded, and said worriedly: "This is obviously a planned revenge, Bao'er's tongue was uprooted, which is in response to this 'little ghost tongue pulling out picture', I'm afraid it ......"
Shangguan Xuechen took a deep breath and said, "Bao'er usually lives an inappropriate life, could it be that he offended someone?" ”
Shangguan Qitian shook his head and said, "Impossible, since this picture is in my hands, it is revenge on my Shangguan family, and it is not just against Bao'er alone." ”
Shangguan Xuechen nodded, and also thought it was reasonable.
Shangguan Minghe frowned deeply, and said: "Could it be related to Hao Tong and them, according to the report from the subordinates just now, they came to Shangguan City yesterday, and Bao'er died tragically today, this ......"
Shangguan Qitian's eyes flashed, and he said: "I don't rule out this possibility, I ordered to go down, let people keep an eye on them, and report their every move." ”
Shangguan Xuechen nodded, and asked again: "Big brother, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, what should we do next?" ”
Shangguan Qitian took a deep breath and said, "If the enemy doesn't move, if I don't move, we will respond to all changes with the same." ”
The other four elders nodded approvingly.
