Chapter 199: The clouds rise and the wind is calm
Shi Zhiyi, the young lord of Yunqi City, has returned to Kyoto.
Most people don't care about this news, because there are tens of thousands of people coming in and out of the huge Kyoto City every day, as an ordinary one among these tens of thousands, few people will pay attention to this young city lord of Yunqi City, who ranks at the bottom of the eight families.
However, just because few people pay attention doesn't mean that no one is paying attention.
At least Da Xi Xiunan and the eldest prince Yu Zhongcheng have been waiting for news about Shi Zhiyi.
When Shi Huaichuan was in the limelight in Kyoto, one of them had not yet been born, and the other had not yet started to practice, so they had no impression of the martial arts genius who rose like a comet, so they would not have any fear.
But as the children of a family, they still clearly know the serious consequences that may be caused by assassinating the children of another family, even if it is only a family that only owns a city and has only risen for a thousand years.
Two martial artists who ascended to the realm went to assassinate a guy who was no more than a beginner at dawn, and in their opinion, there was no doubt about the success of the assassination, and the key was that no rumors could leak in the process. Even as Da Xi Xiunan and Yu Zhongcheng, they are unwilling to face the counterattack and revenge of the head of a family who has lost his only son.
That night, Da Xi Xiunan stayed in the East Palace, as the cousin of the eldest prince and the nephew of Queen Da Xi, this is not a bad thing.
Perhaps because it was too late after the operation ended and the city gate was closed, Mo Yixian and the other warrior did not come back that night to restore their lives, but when the next day was on the third pole, the two still did not return, and Da Xi Xiunan and Yu Zhongcheng felt that something was not right.
At noon, they received news from Wangjiang Tower through secret channels: Shi Zhiyi, the young city lord of Yunqi City, had entered the city.
At this time, the two of them began to panic a little, and realized that they had prepared a plan in case the assassination failed. Two martial artists who killed one of the dawns, how could the assassination fail?
However, Shi Zhiyi had already entered the city, and the people he sent out had not heard from him, so it was obvious that this young city lord of Yunqi City was by no means as alone as he looked.
For some reason, both the eldest prince and cousin had a feeling that they had fallen into a pit dug for them.
Recently, the two of them have had a bad year, Da Xi Xiunan was transferred away from the mountain, and then when he went back, a thousand-year-old manor became a volcano;
And the subordinates of the two of them are also constantly losing soldiers and losing generals: the Da Xi family has only two martial artists in Kyoto, among which the whereabouts of Tan Ying's men are unknown, and today it seems that Da Xi Xiunan's personal guard Mo Yixian is also more auspicious and less;
"Cousin, do you think the timing of the appearance of this kid surnamed Shi is too coincidental? As soon as the ghost face slaughter over there stopped, Shi Zhiyi appeared in Kyoto, could it be that the mysterious ghost face slaughter is the kid surnamed Shi himself?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhongcheng stopped what he was doing and pondered for half a cup of tea.
"If there is a martial artist who has entered the Holy Realm by this kid's side, all this is indeed in the past. In the case of the Ghost Face Slaughter, we were misled by those missing corpses, thinking that there was a strange beast with gluttonous blood around him, but a strong person who entered the Holy Realm may also have some unknown means to achieve this effect. And in the face of a strong person who has entered the sainthood, Wang Hao's cultivation, no matter how much he is sent, it is a meat bun and a dog that will not return. ”
"In that case, there is a high probability that there is something in this kid's hand that is not good for us. When he chose those gangs, he was extremely targeted, completely for your cousin, and he destroyed dozens of gangs, if there was no gain, it would be impossible. With his relationship with Yu Zhongqian, if he handed over these evidences to Yu Zhongqian, it would be tantamount to making things worse for your cousin. ”
"In this matter, we have always been cautious, even if he can get something, it is only a scale and half a claw, and it will not cause me any substantial harm, if the third child really takes this to attack, we will not be able to push a dead ghost to come out, such as Wang Hao, at most I will go to get a charge of lax royal majesty, if I take this thing and think that it can suppress me, then the third is pure wishful thinking. ”
"So what do we do next?"
"Let's wait and see what happens for the time being, we haven't figured out the path of the saint martial artist around him yet, so we can't do it rashly. Moreover, in this Kyoto City, the Holy Warrior will make a move, and the movement will definitely not be small, and at that time, I am afraid that the father and the emperor will not be able to explain. In addition, let's also take a look at the reaction of Yunqi City's side, although their Shi family is only the bottom existence of the Eight Great Families, but this kid is the only direct descendant of the Shi family after all, and now if something happens to him, Shi Huaichuan will definitely be counted on the head of you and me. Although we are not afraid of him, it will be a trouble after all. ”
......
It has been more than half a month since Shi Zhiyi returned to the city, and what reassures Yu Zhongcheng and Da Xi Xiunan is that there is no movement from Yunqi City, just like when Shi Zhiyi was hunted down by the Beigong family more than half a year ago, but I don't know whether Shi Zhiyi's father will completely let go and let his only son hone on the edge of life and death, or Shi Huaichuan himself is too cautious and does not dare to clash with the forces of the Yu family, the Daxi family and the Beigong family.
Shi Huaichuan has a reputation for genius, and he once made a lot of fame at the Spring Conference thirty years ago. However, unless he stepped into the gods, or at least reached the level of Fu Linyue, the number one master of the human race, the strength of one person alone could not change the fact that the entire family had risen for a short time and lacked foundation. The history of any of the three of the Yu family, the Daxi family, and the Beigong family is ten times or even dozens of times that of the Shi family in Yunqi City, and the number of god-sealing powerhouses that have emerged is also several times that of the latter, and it is not an overnight thing to catch up with this gap.
