Beside Lin Qian, there was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with two willow eyebrows, and he looked particularly weak and delicate beside Lin Qian.

"Xiao Yilan has seen the head of the Liu family. He bowed slightly and said with a blank face.

Liu Binyuan straightened his back and tried to show the majesty of the head of the family.

"Welcome to my north. Since it's family, go and call Miss Ying'er. Liu Binyuan beckoned to the disciples who were guarding the door behind him.

"No, no. "It was Lin Qian who stopped it. Xiao Yilan had a mask on his face, except for speaking, the muscles on his face barely moved, even when he heard Xiao Ying'er's name, he didn't react. It was Lin Qian who said with a smiling face: "This time, the prince sent us here, not for Miss and Liu ...... The marriage of the head of the Liu family. "Obviously, before he came in, he had heard about the changes that had happened in the Liu family.

"Why is that?" Liu Binyuan thought that the Chengji Mansion had heard about the change in the Liu family and came to greet him, or to urge the marriage, but looking at Lin Qian's meaning, it seemed that their purpose had nothing to do with either of them.

Lin Qian looked at Xiao Yilan beside him, Liu Binyuan followed his gaze, and then remembered that Xiao Yilan was the envoy, so he turned his head and waited for his reply.

"Xiao Yilan was entrusted by King Chengji and the ancient tree god of Southern Xinjiang to discuss further alliances with the head of the family. ”

"A new alliance?" Liu Heng, who was beside Liu Binyuan, interjected with a frown, "Could it be that the Chengji Palace's Mansion has repented?"

Xiao Yilan didn't seem to hear Liu Heng's question, and continued to himself: "I heard that the former head of the Liu family was killed by Wei Zhuoxi when he intercepted Wei Zhuoxi in Beiwang City. It shows that the old family owner should have also discovered the strangeness of this, which is related to Wei Zhuoxi. ”

"The old master expected it to be good, the big ape went south, and the culprit was Wei Zhuoxi. He is planning to use the power of the four spirits to awaken the ancient beasts. In this way, there is no one in the world who can match it. In the old saying, the method of summoning is called the 'Four Spirits Festival'. ”

"Fierce beast?" Liu Binyuan's face was a little ugly, "Then that beast ...... in Beiwang City that day," he said, his face gloomy.

"Yes, what you met that day was the primordial beast born for the Four Spirits Festival, but the primordial beast is still in the growth period, the power of the four spirits is not complete, and it has just absorbed the magic origin of the Northern Spirit Barbarian Ape, and it has not yet been completely refined, so you can survive. When the power of the four spirits is gathered, the primordial beast will grow into a monster that can destroy the world. ”

"What are you talking about...... What is the power of the four spirits? How many more have that monster collected now?" asked Liu Binyuan.

"The power of the four spirits is to take the origin of the spells of the four spirits in the southeast, northwest and refine them in the body, and the barbarian apes in the Northern Wasteland are also one of them. For hundreds of years, in order to prevent the origin of spells from being taken away by humans, the origin of spells in the bodies of the four spirits was spontaneously weakened by half. Therefore, the primordial beast needed to hunt a large number of four spirits to plunder the origin of the spell, and the aura it emitted alone made them terrified, so the barbarian ape fled the Northern Wasteland as if out of control. ”

"The breath alone makes the barbarian ape so flustered?" Liu Binyuan has seen the ferocity of the barbarian ape, not to mention the hordes of barbarian apes, it is really incredible that they can be frightened by a monster and flee south.

"The Yuan Beast was born for the Four Spirits Festival, and its existence is the natural enemy of the Four Spirits, and it has natural restraint. Wei Zhuoxi knew this, so he dared to take dozens of people to the Northern Wasteland and the East China Sea. ”

Wei Zhuoxi...... The Four Spirits Festival...... In this way, our grudge with Wei Zhuoxi is deeper than I imagined......" Liu Binyuan silently clenched his fists, "So what is King Chengji going to do?

"Now on the mainland, the heroes are divided. Yunzhou and Shuozhou in the northeast belonged to the alliance of King Chengji and the Liu family, Qingzhou belonged to Wei Zhuoxi, and Lizhou naturally belonged to Zhenyuan Hou. A few days ago, the king of Pingnan, who was entrenched in Zhongzhou, also quietly sent troops to Yuzhou, in order to open up the passage between his base camp Muzhou and Zhongzhou, if it was successful, Pingzhou and Yuanzhou were not the opponents of the king of Pingnan, so half of the eleven states of Longyuan would fall into this new Daxu dynasty belonging to the king of Pingnan. ”

"What do you say a lot, what does it have to do with what you just said about the four spirits and what kind of primordial beasts?" Liu Binyuan was a little puzzled when he heard it.

"Pingyu Erzhou fell into war, and Zhongzhou had Ye Tian's father and son entrenched, which blocked the passage between the east and west, and the only Lizhou that would threaten us would not be disturbed. Therefore, this is also the best time to engage Wei Zhuoxi. As far as I know, Wei Zhuoxi's next target is the Southern Xinjiang Tree Spirit. Unlike the merman and the savage ape, the origin of the spells of all the tree spirits has been completely deprived by the ancient tree god, so if the primordial beast wants to obtain the power of the tree spirit, it must go deep into the southern frontier, into the extreme south, and take it from the ancient tree god. It is impossible for a few or dozens of people to break through the jungle in southern Xinjiang, so I expected that Wei Zhuoxi would definitely come out of the nest and go to southern Xinjiang. If the Liu family is willing to help, southern Xinjiang will be our battlefield. ”

"Who are you, why do you know so much?" Liu Heng frowned and stood up, staring at Xiao Yilan with a dead gaze, "Zhongzhou sent troops, what the Four Spirits Festival, even I don't know, you are just a gentleman of Chengji Palace, how did you know?"

Xiao Yilan lowered his head and said: "Xiao Yilan is fortunate to worship under the ancient tree god seat and become a practitioner of the Great Dao, with the power of the ancient tree god, Xiao Yilan has seen more than ordinary people." Today's Xiao Yilan has nothing to do with the Chengji Palace. Standing here today, not for King Chengji to lobby, but for the sake of the world's living beings, asking for the help of the Liu family. ”

Liu Heng snorted coldly: "What a big hat, what does this have to do with the people in the world?"

"The Yuan Beast is bloodthirsty by nature, and Wei Zhuoxi can only control it now because like chickens and ducks are accustomed to having a sense of intimacy with what they see at the first sight of the broken shell, it will attach itself to him when it opens its eyes and sees Wei Zhuoxi. Wei Zhuoxi intends to rely on it to fight for power, but this kind of fierce beast is born for killing, it is born uncontrolled, it is still controllable, because it has intelligence, and it is also very cunning, knowing that the edge before the full wings may incur the disaster of killing, so it is still dormant, and when the power of the four spirits is complete, it will truly mature, no longer controlled, and start killing. No living creature can escape its minions. ”

Liu Heng's eyes widened, and he still didn't seem to believe it, but Xiao Yilan's words were conclusive, although they were appalling, but there was nothing suspicious, and he couldn't refute every word Xiao Yilan said.

"Uncle Cousin, this ......" Liu Bin looked at Liu Heng in embarrassment. As soon as he sat on the position of the head of the family, he was about to bear such a big name as a living creature in the world, and he couldn't help but feel a little bottomless. In the position of the head of the Liu family, he didn't dare to think about his own wishes in every choice, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would be willful.

"Your first instinct is. Liu Heng coughed lightly, took a step back, and completely ceded the space around the main seat to Liu Binyuan.

Liu Binyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I don't understand the Four Spirits Festival, the Great Dao Immortals, I don't understand it very well. But since I want to make trouble for Wei Zhuoxi, then my Liu family has to intervene!"

......

The southwest of Yuzhou is the undulating mountains, the east is the Pingyu forest that connects with Pingzhou, and the central part of Yuzhou is the place where the two are connected, which is the undulating high and low mountains and hills, and the jungle is shaded, so it is rarely inhabited, and the towns are mostly distributed in the southeast and northwest. As a result, the middle area became an unmanageable area, and if the thieves and robbers were familiar with the terrain and burrowed into the jungle-covered hills, they could easily lose their tracks. This area divides Yuzhou into two parts, the flat area in the northwest is the location of the main city of Yucheng, and the surrounding development of large and small towns become the heart of Yuzhou, which is a place for economic and trade exchanges and powerful people.

The southeast side of this land is a backward slum, because of its proximity to the Pingyu forest, the land is barren, there is no water source, and there are often wild beasts infestation, so it is difficult all year round.

Although notorious thieves occasionally fled into the area and could not be pursued, the reason for the lawlessness and rampant in the area was the laissez-faire of the lords. The previous lord of Yuzhou, or Ye Kun of the King of Yu, he had rebelled more than ten years ago, and the King of Pingnan and King Chengji personally sent troops to suppress it, and finally Ye Kun was killed, but the first emperor Nian made great achievements in the Yu King family, leaving a family of lives, depriving him of the throne, and demoting him to Yuzhou Bo. Unlike his predecessor Qi Guogong, who was seriously ill and unable to govern, the successor Yuzhou Bo Yekuan was greedy for pleasure, and since he inherited the title, he lived in the small and prosperous world in Yucheng, and the vast world outside of this seemed to have nothing to do with him, nor did he intend to control the wanderers or refugees who were far away in the world.

The people of the barren lands of the southeast were quickly forgotten, and those who could afford to leave the slums had long since gone to the prosperous places of the northwest, while the rest of the people either continued to suffer from hunger and cold, or had to choose to fall into the grass. Because of this, in the past ten years, if it were not for the residents who had suffered greatly or the merchants who passed by, it would have been difficult to imagine that in the very center of Yuzhou, only a few hundred miles away from Yucheng, there was such a lawless and rampant area. In addition, due to the war in Pingzhou, several cities in the east of Yuzhou were lost within half a month, and the people had nowhere to return, so they had to fall into the grass, which further fueled the power of the rogues. Because the hills here are undulating, and the hills with complex terrain and dense jungle are occupied by the Liukou as the top of the mountain, there are as many as 16 in total, so people who know the mystery of this place call this area "Yuzhong Sixteen Rivers".

In the westernmost part of the Sixteen Rivers in Yuzhong, is the territory of the Tiger Head Gang. At this time, the Tiger Head Gang was chasing the sparse team in front of them.
