Chapter 4 The Turmoil Before the Great Comparison
Zhou Hao sat at a loss as the head of the family, and at this moment, an old man walked in and said respectfully to Zhou Hao: "Family master, someone outside the door said that there is an urgent matter looking for you, and it seems that it is from the city lord's mansion." ”
Zhou Hao, who was thinking about it, came back to his senses, and when he heard the three words of the City Lord's Mansion, a spiritual light crossed his mind: "Okay, I know, you lead that person to the living room, and I will naturally go to him later." ”
After the old man left, Zhou Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, in the previous life, when the city lord's mansion sent troops to expel him from the Zhou family, he did not have a good impression of the city lord's mansion: "This city lord's mansion is coming at this time, I'm afraid there is nothing good, in the previous life, the city lord's mansion was obviously biased in favor of the Wang family and the Li family, depending on the situation, I am afraid that there will be unsightly deeds here, no, I have to think of a way." ”
The City Lord's Mansion is a county ruling body under the jurisdiction of the Black Dragon Country, and the Black Dragon Kingdom is the actual ruler of this land, whether it is a sect or a loose cultivator, it has to give the City Lord's Mansion a thin face, however, the City Lord's Mansion is usually transcendent, as long as there is no large-scale cultivator weapon fight or major disaster in the city, it basically doesn't matter, even if Zhou Hao doesn't like the City Lord's Mansion, he has to see it.
In the living room of the Zhou family, a young man sat on a chair, put the teacup on the table with an unhappy face, and scolded the old man who was talking: "I said that the new head of your Zhou family is too unserious about people, and he hasn't come yet, do you think I'm a good pastime or the city lord's mansion can't manage him?"
The old man was just a subordinate, and he was facing the reproach of the young man at the moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just as the young man was scolding, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Which rude person is yelling here, don't you see the sign at the door?"
At this time, Zhou Hao came in from outside the door, pretending not to see the young man, but said to the old man by himself: "Old Lin, I didn't tell you, don't bring everything into the living room, it's noisy and disturbing." ”
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously looked at the young man, and found that the young man's face was blue at the moment, and the whole person was on the verge of outburst.
The young man of the City Lord's Mansion laughed angrily, and sneered: "It turns out that this is the hospitality of the new head of the Zhou family, they all say that your Zhou Hao's thunderous methods are small, that is just the ignorance of ordinary people, in my opinion, you are just a bully villain, not only occupy the position of the head of the family, but also expel your uncle, others can't control you, can't my City Lord's Mansion still manage it......
"Finished?" Zhou Hao stared at the young man expressionlessly, and said in a choked voice: "How my hospitality is determined, if you come today to speak for those outsiders, then I'm sorry, I won't send it when I go out." ”
The young man's face turned red, and he pointed at Zhou Hao and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Hao saw that the young man didn't speak, and slowly walked towards the latter: "I Zhou Hao know it myself, outsiders are not qualified to comment on me there, tell you the main thing, some things are too much for yourself." ”
The young man was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and said angrily: "Zhou Hao, you are a threat!"
Zhou Hao smiled, thinking of when he was driven out of the Zhou family by this gang of people in his last life, when did these people think about his feelings: "Is this your City Lord's Mansion speaking or you talking?"
The young man didn't speak, and always stared at Zhou Hao angrily.
Zhou Hao saw that the young man did not refute, and continued: "Okay, Zhou is in a good mood today, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if there is nothing important, please leave!"
The young man stood up and tried his best to calm his mood: "Okay, since the Zhou family master issued the order to expel the guests, and Zhang Mou did not stay, I came today to say that three days later, the City Lord's Mansion will hold a big competition between the three major families in the east of the city, and the Zhou family's Wang family and the Li family must be present, and at the same time, the City Lord's Mansion will also take back the Zhou family's Lingshi mining rights, and the winner of this big competition will determine the ownership of the mining rights." ”
Zhou Hao took a deep breath and said lightly: "Okay, go back and tell the city lord that my Zhou family will definitely arrive in three days." ”
After the young man left, Zhou Hao frowned, looked at the gate of the Zhou family, and said to himself: "This is better than dying now, it seems that the Wang Li family and the city lord's mansion really have something to do, I want to see what tricks you guys will play." ”
The young man did not return directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but began to turn around and walk towards the Wang family's mansion.
In the mansion of the Wang family, there are three people sitting at this moment, and the middle-aged man sitting in the middle does not need to look at it, it is Wang Wenwen, the head of the Wang family, the young man is sitting on the left, and opposite him is a middle-aged man with two mustaches, this is Li Qun, the head of the Li family.
The head of the Wang family glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "Zhang Shao went to the Zhou family this time, I don't know the details of the Zhou family?"
The head of the Wang family didn't finish speaking, looking at the young man, as if waiting for his answer.
The young man scolded the old fox secretly, but he didn't show any sound on his face: "As you expected, the people of the Zhou family are now gone, and there seems to be no cultivator in the entire Zhou family except for Zhou Hao, this is a rare space to operate." ”
At this time, Li Qun, the head of the Li family, said loudly: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid that the Zhou family has already existed in name only, why should the City Lord's Mansion take such trouble to deal with the Zhou family, can't it be over if we deal with it directly?"
The young man surnamed Zhang shook his head and sighed: "Even if it is the City Lord's Mansion, you have to abide by the code of conduct of the Black Dragon Kingdom, even my father can't violate it, although this method is a little troublesome, but it is a feasible strategy, at that time, even if Zhou Hao becomes the core disciple of Tianlan Sect, he will not be able to start with this fact." ”
When Li Qun saw the young man surnamed Zhang say this, he didn't refute it, and looked at Wang Wenwen, the head of the Wang family who was sitting on the main seat, as if asking for help.
Wang Wenwen took a deep breath and said lightly: "Master Li, you don't have to embarrass Zhang Gongzi, although this matter is a little troublesome, but the current Zhou family's vitality is greatly damaged, and there may not be no room for operation, even if this Zhou Hao worships the Tianlan Sect, according to the description of Zhou Tianhai and others, it is only the Nine Realms of Qi Cultivation, and it was just a sneak attack that day, since this is the case, we can do this......"
After some discussion, the three of them smiled with satisfaction, and Wang Wenwen, the head of the Wang family, arched his hand to the young man surnamed Zhang: "I have worked hard Zhang Gongzi to make this trip, and my Wang and Li families are grateful. ”
The young man surnamed Zhang smiled slightly and returned the salute: "Don't worry, the head of the Wang family, do it boldly, even if there is no cooperation from us, I will see that little bastard Zhou Hao is so rude." ”
After saying that, the three of them parted ways, and the next morning, the big competition of these three families spread throughout Heilong County, after all, these three families are behemoths in Heilong County, how can such a fierce collision not attract attention.
Some rumors are even more noisy, the head of the Zhou family has fallen, and the rest of the elders of the Zhou family can't bear Zhou Hao's arbitrariness and running away from home.
The death of the Zhou family has basically become a consensus, and while some people regret it, they are also cursing Zhou Hao for being ignorant, and Huangkou Xiaoer is too indiscriminate.
Zhou Hao stayed at home and did not go out of the door, wholeheartedly comprehending the Great Zhou Tian Vientiane Sword Technique, at the same time, he also asked the old housekeeper of the Zhou family to find a blacksmith shop to create a stainless steel sword, as a sword cultivator, the sword is the life of the sword cultivator, and the sword cultivation without the sword is not a sword repair.
Zhou Hao, who was sitting on the bed, opened his eyes, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and the momentum around him did not decrease, and from time to time there was a sound of sword qi colliding with each other.
"Huh, I finally have control over this sword qi, and next, I should think about how to deal with this next three clans, I am afraid that they are also well aware of the situation of my Zhou family, they are estimated to make a fuss in this regard, it seems that I have to prepare early." ”
Time flies, three days pass in a blink of an eye, there are several school grounds in the east of Heilong County, these school fields were originally used to let the monks in the city settle their grievances, but now, they have become the core hotspot of the entire Black Dragon County.
The three major family competitions, this is a grand event in the history of Heilong County, especially the last time, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianlong, crushed the opponent with absolute strength, that battle can be described as exciting, and this time the three major families are compared, but there is a little more meaning than before, last year, the Zhou family, which was extremely strong, became disintegrated after the fall of the head of the Zhou family, and there were no monks in the family except Zhou Hao, so to speak, the Zhou family this time can be described as the lowest point since the rise.
The onlookers were extremely excited, especially in front of the big competition, the news of the marriage between the Wang and Li families was spread, and the news was like a shock wave rolled up by a bomb, sweeping the entire Black Dragon County.
"Have you heard, the Wang and Li families have married, so to speak, the Wang and Li families plan to unite in front of the big competition, and at this moment, the Zhou family has encountered an unprecedented setback, it seems that it is not simple!"
"Yes, I think this big competition came so suddenly, it is very likely that the Wang and Li families are targeting the Zhou family, but that Zhou Hao is really young and vigorous, driving away most of the masters of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family, which has dominated the Black Dragon County for hundreds of years, may have come to an end. ”
Everyone is talking at the moment, and the owner of this source, that is, Zhou Hao, the acting head of the Zhou family, is sitting under the banner of the Zhou family at this moment, closing his eyes and recuperating, and he is the only figure sitting alone in the huge place.
However, the Wang and Li families opposite him were full of people, and at a glance, there were no less than 100 people, and the two sides formed a sharp contrast.
In the Wang family's position, countless young people watched Zhou Hao sitting alone under the banner of the Zhou family, and couldn't help laughing, the sound of ridicule was endless, and some people deliberately put on a posture of Zhou Hao sitting cross-legged, leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.
Zhou Hao opened his eyes, glanced at the young people of the Wang family, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and said with disdain: "Are the people of the Wang family a group of clowns who jump off the beam, just by you, I can beat you all down!"
