Chapter 23: The Amber Family
The war between the Black Alliance and the White Tiger Continent has been going on for many years, and now it is mainly concentrated in the west, and it has not yet reached the Tiger Emperor Capital, which is still prosperous and lively.
The four direct descendants of the Amber family, Amber River, Amber River, and Amber Lake are sitting in the private room on the top floor of the Ethereal Pavilion and drinking wine, and the Xi family, the Chen family and other juniors of the same age are sitting next to them, watching the tea and pouring wine, whispering and laughing, and the atmosphere is still harmonious.
"Bang, bang, bang......" Nine police gongs resounded throughout the Tiger Emperor Capital.
Hu Hai, who was holding a wine glass and preparing to drink, was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he asked Hu Jiang opposite: "Brother Jiang, do you hear clearly, is it nine sounds?" ”
Hu Jiang's face turned a little pale, and he nodded and replied, "It seems to be nine sounds." ”
Then they looked at the Amber River, the Amber Lake, and the people sitting with them, and they also nodded.
Hu Hai threw away the wine glass in his hand and stood up suddenly, "Then don't hurry back home!" "Wow,, bmm" rushed down the ethereal pavilion. The Amber River, the Amber River, and the Amber Lake hurriedly followed, leaving behind a group of people who were sitting with them stammering and at a loss......
Similar experiences occurred in many places in the Tiger Emperor's capital, and the descendants of the Amber family rushed towards the Amber family's mansion from all directions.
People can be seen everywhere in the Tiger Emperor's capital, exploring and guessing what happened to the Amber family......
Holding the Holy Lord Decree thrown to him by the old man in his hand, Hu An's figure rushed back to the Tiger Emperor Capital in a straight line like lightning. Although the road was long, he did not stop for a moment. Entering the capital, Hu An went straight to the ancestral temple of the Hu family's mansion. There, the head of the family, Hu Yu, must be there.
Seeing the dusty Hu An, Hu Yu's heart tightened, and he asked with a relaxed expression: "Uncle An, why do you have time to come back, is my father well?" ”
Hu An bowed forward and handed the Holy Lord Order in his hand to Hu Yu, "Young Master, Master Password: If my descendants of the Amber family go to stay for their own convenience, there is only one way: no alliance with the Black Alliance!" If you violate this order, you will be evicted from your home! ”
After receiving the Holy Lord's order, Hu Yu's heart was no longer calm, and his right hand holding the Holy Lord's order trembled slightly; Hearing his father's words relayed by Hu An, his face changed greatly, and he grabbed Hu An's shoulder with his left hand, "What's wrong with my father, Uncle An, what happened to my father?" ”
Hu An raised his head, tears hung on his old cheeks, and tears filled his sad eyes, "Wuyang is about to fight the old man in Moyunling......"
Looking at Hu An's expression, Hu Yu probably knew the result of this battle, but he didn't believe it, in his mind: his father is the strongest person in this continent, and no one can defeat his father! Not to mention killing! He stared at Amber tightly, full of anticipation, hoping to hear the answer he wanted in his heart.
Hu An closed her eyes in pain, tears flowed down her cheeks in a thread, and the corners of her mouth squirmed a few times but did not make a sound.
Letting go of his left hand, Hu Yu took a few steps back in a messy manner, tilted his head and closed his eyes, sealed the tears back into the tear ducts, and tried his best to calm himself down. Now, he doesn't have time to grieve the loss of his father, as the head of the family, and with his father's will, he must make good arrangements for future generations. "Uncle An, Wuyang was promoted to Martial Saint later than me, is he really so strong?"
Hu An closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and muttered, "The master let go of the attack but failed to break through a foot in front of Wuyang. ”
"Hiss" Hu Yu gasped, "Did he do his best?" ”
"No, let the master attack, he is still at ease."
Hu Yu asked softly, "Emperor Wu? ”
"He didn't do his best, he didn't feel it. As I descended the mountain, I felt that the quality of the pressure at the top of the mountain was indeed higher,...... But...... If you want to say that it is the Martial Emperor, although I have not seen it, I don't feel like it, at most it is half a step higher than the power of the Martial Saint. ”
"If that's the case, my father won't be able to get out." Amber Yu said cautiously.
Amber lowered his eyes, "The master won't ......"
Thinking of her father's personality, Amber Yu was speechless with grief.
After a while, Hu Yu said calmly: "Uncle An, sit down and rest for a while, and I will gather the clansmen." After speaking, he turned to the outside and said, "Someone, ring the alarm gong...... Nine rings. ”
The attendant outside did not dare to hesitate when he heard the great change in his face, and hurried to the warning station and took down the gong from the shelf...... Boom...... Boom ......" nine times in a row.
The police gong rang nine times, and both inside and outside the Amber family mansion were shocked: the police gong that had not been sounded for hundreds of years was actually sounded, and it was the highest warning nine rings for the disaster of destroying the door! Even the top family in the mainland, the Amber family's mansion was chaotic for a while, and they no longer saw their former calmness, and they hurried to the conference hall one by one.
Two hours passed, and the chamber was crowded with people from the Amber family, looking a little puzzled and frightened, looking for what had happened, but no one could give an answer.
"Gather at the ancestral temple." Hu Yu's voice arrived.
The Ancestral Temple? The frightened look on the faces of the Amber family increased, and they rushed to the ancestral temple in a swarm.
On the steps of the ancestral temple, Hu Yu looked at the people who were constantly pouring in, and his heart was even more sad: when they walked out of this ancestral temple, I don't know how many people would survive? Seeing that no one was entering, Hu Yu ordered: "Close the door!" ”
A "squeak" sounded, and the two wooden doors gradually closed.
The courtyard was silent, and they all looked up at Hu Yu on the steps.
"Amber."
"The old slave is here." Hu An bowed down and walked out of the ancestral temple and came behind Hu Yu.
"Say it again."
"Yes, Master." Hu An repeated the incident of Wuyang's appointment with Amber Lie again.
Looking at the incredulous eyes of the clansmen in the audience, Hu Yu spoke again, "Hu An, pass down the old master's message." ”
Hu An straightened his waist and said solemnly: "If my descendants of the Amber family go to stay for their own convenience, there is only one way: no alliance with the Black Alliance!" If you violate this order, you will be evicted from your home! ”
The courtyard gradually fell silent, and they all had different thoughts and expressions.
In the front row, a person of the same age as Hu Yu stepped on the steps, walked through Hu Yu into the ancestral temple, knelt down respectfully, kowtowed three times with "bang, bang, bang", got up and exited the temple gate, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Uncle." Amber Yu stopped him. This person is the youngest brother of Amber Lie - Amber Tao, who has followed Amber Lie to learn art since he was a child, and regards Amber Lie as a father and a god.
Hu Tao looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The eldest brother is fighting this battle for the family and the martial arts, he seeks benevolence...... I can't be as martial as my eldest brother, so I will be exempted from seeking the Tao, but the Black Alliance wants my Amber Family's White Tiger Continent, so I have to ask if the Amber Family agrees. Hu Yu, I'll go to Huding City (the western border of the White Tiger Continent). ”
"Uncle...... Take care! Hu Yu said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, if it's Wuyang, I'll avoid it." After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard gate with firm steps......
In the courtyard, the Amber family walked into the ancestral temple one after another, and then left. When they left the Tiger Emperor Capital, some traveled alone and some in groups, and most of the directions were the places of war in the west, and of course, there were also a few southward ......
The courtyard that had just been overcrowded was empty, and Hu An, who was bowing behind Hu Yu, saluted Hu Yu and said, "Young master, the old slave should also go, the master is still waiting for me to serve." ”
"Uncle An, wait." Hu Yu stopped him, "The work given by my father has not been completed, and I can't leave yet." ”
"What's the matter, young master?" Hu An looked at Hu Yu suspiciously.
"What is the second half of my father's dictation?" Amber Yu asked rhetorically.
"Don't ally with the Black Alliance! If you violate this order, you will be evicted from your home! ”
"And then." Hu Yu took out a token from his waist and handed it to Hu An, "I don't have time to take care of it, and I can't spare anyone to take care of it, so I can only hand it over to deal with it." Whether the Amber family fights or avoids, they all have their own considerations, and they are all for the inheritance of the Amber family; But there must be no surrender and betrayal. Yes, kill it! ”
Hu An didn't want to take the token for a long time, "Young master, I'm ......" He has served the master all his life, rarely leaving his side, and he doesn't want the master to wait for him for too long.
"This is my father's dictation, and it is also the task I have given me."
Hu An hesitated, but still reached out and took the token, "Young master, after this matter is completed, I will go to serve the master, and I will not come to say goodbye to you at that time." ”
"Yes. Go ahead and remember: the Amber family will not allow a single betrayal! ”
"Young Master, take care." Amber leaves.
