Chapter 54: Xiao Qiang Escaped?!
Xiao Qiang was a little angry, and then a sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart, people have been able to plan behind the scenes for so many years, without causing the slightest notice, it can be seen how powerful this force is, and it is by no means something that anyone can compete with. 【Reading.com】
The affairs of the family and the country are a mess, it is not something that he can sort out as a small person, it is better to arrange the affairs of the third uncle and them first, this is also the only thing Xiao Qiang can do now.
Thinking about it, Xiao Qiang retracted his thoughts, and said, "Is there a way to send the uncle and the third uncle away?"
Pang Fu was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly nodded and said: "There is our Pang family's fleet at the dock in Beicheng, you can leave at any time, as long as Xiao Gongzi says a word, Pang Fu will definitely send the uncle and the third master to a safe place!"
Xiao Qiang nodded, and discussed the details with Pang Fu, he was afraid that the Xiao family's eyeliner would be targeted by the delay for too long, so he got up to say goodbye and left the jewelry store.
Walking on the bustling streets, Xiao Qiang looked at the scene of singing and dancing all the way to the level and celebrating all over the world, and there was no longer the slightest joy, and his heart was full of helplessness.
In a small mansion in the north of the city, the eldest and third uncle are discussing the recent loss-making business, and their mood is very low.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and most of the business partners who originally cooperated with them stood on the side of the second master, and the shopkeeper who helped individually was also powerless, unable to resist the double suppression of the Lu family and the Xiao family, and was defeated early.
came and went, the two million that the uncle and the third uncle put together, plus the one million and three million gold coins that Xiao Qiang brought, lost all their money!
Originally, they wanted to make some money and buy off the two elders of the Lu family who were greedy for money, and give Xiao Qiang a way out, but now it's good, they have lost everything, and even they themselves have been put in!
When the two of them sighed for a long time, they suddenly saw Xiao Qiang walking in, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The third uncle's eyes were red, and he hugged Xiao Qiang, and then hugged Xuerou and Xuegu, his expression was more ugly than crying, if it wasn't for the child, the tears would come down.
The uncle and the third uncle were a lot haggard, especially the uncle, the wrinkles on his face had deepened, and the black hair that had been black before had already appeared white, which made Xiao Qiang's heart a little sour.
When the two children went to the back house, Xiao Qiang and the third uncle sat in the living room, and the third uncle couldn't wait to ask about Xiao Qiang's current situation.
"Uncle, everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Xiao Qiang said succinctly.
"Xiaoqiang, what about your current cultivation?" the third uncle asked worriedly.
"Third uncle, don't worry, everything is fine. Xiao Qiang said with a smile, there were many people around the living room, and it was inconvenient for him to say some things, but as long as the two elders were reassured.
The third uncle knew that this topic was too sensitive, so he didn't ask anymore, and suddenly he thought of something, and said with a look of shame: "Xiaoqiang, uncle can't stand you, I lost all the money you asked someone to bring in my business!"
As expected, Xiao Qiangyun said lightly: "It's okay, isn't money all things outside the body, life doesn't bring death and doesn't take it, it's okay if people are fine, now Xuegu and Xuerou are also back, don't worry too much about the third uncle." ”
The eldest and third uncle were ashamed of these words, and the two of them had a lot to ask, but seeing Xiao Qiang's dusty manners, he must have been tired from the journey, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare a room for Xiao Qiang.
At night, after Xiao Qiang and his family had dinner, he was called to the study alone by the uncle, and the third uncle personally guarded the door outside, looking like there was something important to discuss.
The uncle looked solemn, looked at Xiao Qiang and said, "Xiao Qiang, tell your uncle the truth, where is your current cultivation?"
"Uncle, I'm already the number one in the Spirit Realm now. Xiao Qiang said truthfully, "Uncle, I am actually a double spirit body, and now I have awakened the fire attribute, and the wind attribute has not woken up yet." ”
"Twin Spirit Body?!" Uncle Xiao Hongtao was shocked, dumbfounded, and couldn't help but let out a bold laugh for a moment, and a little tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang, do you know how worried you and your third uncle are these days, you, you, you didn't tell us earlier!" The uncle frowned, and there was no blame in his words.
Xiao Qiang said embarrassedly: "I was also promoted not long ago, and I wasn't sure before that." ”
"Okay, okay, in this way, the duel between you and Lu Zhonghe may not be defeated, even if you can't win, there is no problem with self-preservation, so I'm relieved!" The uncle nodded with satisfaction, looking at Xiao Qiang, who was growing up in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Everyone has their own creation, if the fourth brother and younger siblings saw Xiao Qiang's achievements today, they would definitely be very comforted, right?
Xiao Qiang was always hesitant to tell his uncle the truth about the outbreak of the war, but in the end he couldn't help but say nothing.
He knows the uncle and the third uncle, they were able to form a militia to fight against the demons back then, and they can also form a militia to fight against the Jade Dragon Empire today, but this time is different, this time they will only die in vain!
Thinking about Xiao Qiang, he said tactfully: "Uncle, I have already arranged the ship to send you to Blue Eagle City tonight, the duel between me and Lu Zhonghe, regardless of victory or defeat, may implicate you, so you must leave now, if you go, I can also prepare for the war with peace of mind!"
The uncle nodded thoughtfully, and smiled sadly: "People are warm and cold, I also look down on it, as long as I can save the family, it is not a blessing, it's good to go, it's just a pity, Uncle can't cheer you on the spot." ”
Xiao Qiang smiled: "Uncle, you just wait for my good news!"
After saying goodbye to his uncle, Xiao Qiang returned to his room, Xiao Qiang was stunned for a while, and forcibly dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart.
Pang Fu's person is about to come, and at this time he must remain calm, and it is most important to send the uncle and the third uncle out first.
In the middle of the night, several masters of the Pang family sneaked into the mansion and subdued the people who were guarding the third uncle and them for the first time, without alarming anyone.
The family members of the uncle and the third uncle were more than 100 people, after going out from the small gate, they took a carriage all the way to the wharf in the north of the city, and in the night, the passenger ships were mixed in the center of more than a dozen merchant ships, and sailed out of Sanhe City along the river.
In the early morning of the next day, the second master rushed to the small mansion with a large team of people and horses, and launched a carpet search, almost digging three feet into the ground.
"What about the people, where have the people gone?!" In the empty courtyard, the second master's face was pale, and he yelled at the people.
The slaves were silent, their heads bowed, and their hearts were aggrieved, it happened so suddenly that they were either still sleeping, and the awake people were subdued before they could react.
The second master is very angry, the uncle has not spit out all the Xiao family's business so far, this is enough to annoy him, now that Xiao Qiang has run away, can the Lu family agree?!
There was no impermeable wall, and the news of Xiao Qiang's disappearance spread quickly, causing an uproar in Three Rivers City.
The duel between Lu Zhonghe and Xiao Qiang has been hyped up, and the people of Sanhe City, who are still martial, regard this duel as the highlight of the National Day, and the people even offer odds to bet on the outcome of the game, and everyone overwhelmingly supports Lu Zhonghe.
A large number of disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion came to watch the battle, and even dispatched a few elders, which also caused a shock in the cultivation world of the Blue Eagle Principality, and when the insiders revealed the dispute between the "Sword Sect" and the "Qi Sect" of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, it raised this duel to a higher level, and the surrounding cultivators rushed to Three Rivers City one after another.
But at this juncture, Xiao Qiang is gone!
In the east of the city, in the palatial hall of the Lu Mansion, Lu Zhonghe, with long hair and a shawl, sat on the chair with his back and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after hearing the news brought by the housekeeper, he slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer of disdain.
The housekeeper said with a flattering face: "Young master, it must be that the game is getting closer and closer, that Xiao Qiang was scared out of his guts, so he hid, this kind of person is your opponent, it really loses your identity!"
Lu Zhonghe sneered: "Whether he is really missing or fake, spread the word to me, saying that I, Lu Zhonghe, despise this kind of cowardly villain the most!"
"Young master, don't worry, Sanhe City is our territory, the old slave will definitely let Xiao Qiang take the Xiao family's stinky street, and when the time comes, we will be able to eradicate them justifiably!"
Lu Zhonghe stood up, walked to the steps of the hall with his hands behind his back, and muttered, "Xiao Qiang, you can't let me down!"
These days, with the help of his master, Lu Zhonghe has become familiar with the aura of domineering sword intent, after all, Xiao Qiang is still in the imitation stage, and the sword intent does not really belong to him, so Lu Zhonghe is sure that he will be aware of it the moment Xiao Qiang launches his sword intent.
What Xiao Qiang relies on is nothing more than this sword intent, if the domineering sword intent loses its power, then isn't he like a lamb to the slaughter, let him ravage?
Thinking of the pleasure in this, Lu Zhonghe couldn't help but burst out with a long laugh, he seemed to have seen that the moment Xiao Qiang fell under his sword, the Lu family would usher in a new glory!
"What, Xiao Qiang escaped?!" whispered to a few tea-drinking guests in a teahouse in the city.
"Yes, the whole family has run, as soon as I heard that Lu Zhonghe has advanced to the second level of the Yunling Realm, this grandson can run faster than a rabbit!"
"Poor boy, I didn't know which tendon was twitched, and I dared to argue with Lu Zhonghe's son, I had already said that he was looking for death!"
"Hongyan is in trouble, I heard that Xiao Qiang's crush on the senior sister is Lu Zhonghe's fiancée, men are hot-headed for women, is this kind of thing rare?"
"People are hot-headed, it's to take advantage of it, but it's good for him Xiao Qiang, he put his life into it, it's really not worth it, it's just that if he escapes like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in Sanhe Province in the future!"
At first, the guests only whispered, but then the voices became louder and louder, and a girl in white sitting in the corner was bored, grabbed her sword, slammed it on the table, and said coldly: "Shut up for me!"
The teahouse fell silent for a moment, and after glancing at the girl, he quickly lowered his head.
Recently, many disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion have come to Three Rivers City, so they also recognize the costumes of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the girl is wearing a white samurai costume with two cyan swords embroidered on her chest, she should be the outer disciple of the Wind Spirit Peak.
Look at the girl again, her complexion is like snow, her eyebrows are like distant daisies, her eyes are like autumn water, and she is covered with a faint cloud of smoke, she sits there quietly, quiet like a hollow valley orchid, even if the corners of her lips reveal a trace of impatience, there is also a smell of fireworks that do not eat the world, which makes people not feel the slightest disgust.
Ding Lanyi was very angry, she came to Sanhe City alone to find Xiao Qiang, originally wanted to ask where Xiao Qiang lived in the teahouse, but she didn't expect to hear these people talking nonsense.
Will Xiao Qiang run away? She didn't believe it, as for Xiao Qiang's crush on someone's fiancée, it was just nonsense.
Ding Lanyi was very seriously angry, and she didn't like the atmosphere here more and more, and after standing up, she walked away quickly.
The tea guests looked at Ding Lanyi's tall and graceful back, and the aftertaste was endless, until Ding Lanyi walked away, and then they began to talk about it, speculating about the relationship between the girl and the missing Xiao Qiang.
"Girl, please stay!" As soon as Ding Lanyi left the teahouse, a silver-shirted young man chased after her
