Chapter Twenty-Three: The Song Family's Conspiracy
The old lady followed in with his entourage, and it took about half an hour, but no clues were found, as if Song Wujian and the two disappeared out of thin air, which made Tong Shaoyang depressed.
"Okay, since they can't catch up, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion quickly, but remember not to hurt his life, after all, the City Lord represents the royal family, and killing him is a small matter, so it is not cost-effective to anger the royal family of the Heavenly Spirit Country, just give him a lesson." ”
Looking at Tong Shaoyang's depressed appearance, the old lady was really worried that he would sprinkle all his anger on Xiahou Ba's body, which was definitely not a good thing for the Tong family, so he specially admonished him, and then ordered everyone to enter the City Lord's Mansion together.
When Tong Shaoyang and the others rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry, Xiahou Ba, who had returned ahead of schedule, was talking about something with the third black-clothed old man under Song Wujian in the front hall at this time, both of them seemed extremely calm on the surface, but their tones were full of gunpowder.
"What are you talking about! Song Wujian ran away? Then what should I do, I have already offended the Tong family, if they let them dominate Qingzhou again, will there be my good fruit to eat in the future?
"Hehe~ The city lord doesn't have to be like this, I'm here to show you the way now, my young master is still too young after all, and he does things all by heart, this is not the head of the family who personally came out to clean up the aftermath for him, you can rest assured, the Tong family will never be better in Qingzhou, even if there is no constraint from my Song family. ”
Xiahou Ba pursed his lips, thinking that he really had the ability to let the Tong family run away, but now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, he and Tong Shaoyang have a grudge against his father, although he did not do it, but at that time he was in his own house, I was afraid that Tong Shaoyang would kill himself directly without listening to the explanation, it would be a real death.
"Let's talk about it. I hope that your master will not let me down again, otherwise you don't want to go out of the Qingzhou territory, don't think that I don't know that Song Wujian hasn't left Qingzhou City yet. ”
The old man in black flashed a touch of gloom in his eyes through the blocking of the teacup, gently placed the cup on the table, and said to Xiahouba: "The city lord is threatening my master, you won't forget the status of the Song family, I can act as if the previous thing didn't happen, if there is a next time, don't blame the old man for being polite!"
It was as if the murderous aura of substance suddenly emanated from the old man, overwhelmingly attacking Xiahou Ba, and then Xiahou Ba calmed down a little, and he was afraid for a while, and he almost forgot the status of others because of anger, which was really careless. immediately coughed awkwardly, and looked at the old man with a smiling face.
"It's because I'm too anxious, don't blame the seniors, let's talk about what jihua is, otherwise Tong Shaoyang will be killed. ”
Seeing this, the old man in black snorted coldly, reined in the murderous aura released outside, tapped the table with his left hand, and said leisurely: "If this Jihua wants to succeed, he still needs to borrow something from the city lord, I hope the city lord will not be stingy." ”
Xiahou Ba was thinking about how to defeat the Tong family at the moment, and heard that he only needed to borrow one thing, so he promised that no matter how valuable the thing was, it was not as valuable as his life, so he immediately waited for the old man in black to continue.
"Since the city lord is so generous, then the old man is not verbose, this thing is the city lord's life, I hope to bring it!"
Boom~!Xiahou Ba's brain didn't turn around for a while, what he cared about most was his life, but now you want to borrow it, what is the difference between lending it to you and letting Tong Shaoyang slaughter it. Xiahou Ba's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes shot a cold light, staring at the old man in black, "Senior, are you playing with me again?"
"Hehe~ Isn't the city lord still very generous, and now how has he changed his hexagram again, this problem is unbelievable. The old man in black saw that the atmosphere was depressed, his subordinates were ready, and when the master came, he explained that he must take Xiahou Ba's life, even if the king of heaven came today, he couldn't save him.
"Dog thief, so daring!" Xiahou Ba stopped talking nonsense, and directly threw the wooden table in his hand, and at the same time pulled out the golden-backed broadsword placed behind him, since he wanted his life, then don't blame him for being ruthless, not only the old man in black in front of him, but even Song Wujian, who was still in Qingzhou, didn't want to escape.
The old man in black smashed the wooden table with one palm, his body was steep and then retreated, only to see that the place where he was sitting was instantly cut into powder by the knife, and a little slow step was worried about his life. The old man put his fingers together, and suddenly pointed at his chest when Xiahou Ba's old strength was exhausted and the new power had not arrived.
"Soul Breaker!"
Xiahou Ba Yu Guang saw it really, Tong Wuwei died under this move back then, and he didn't dare to be careless in his heart, the golden knife was raised horizontally, and the spiritual power wrapped the blade as much as possible to block this blow.
The crisp sound echoed in the room, and the old man's two fingers directly poked at the knife surface through the barrier of spiritual power, and this was not the end, the knife surface trembled slightly a few times, and then two holes were broken in the middle, and the fingers suddenly appeared in Xiahou Ba's eyes, thanks to his quick reaction, he made a lazy donkey roll to dodge the fatal blow in embarrassment.
"It's good to say it well, if you have to ask the old man to do it, then you can't complain that the old man is ruthless!" The old man daxiao snorted and pounced on Xiahou Ba again, the two fingers that were close together were like chains for his life, and the horrified Xiahou Ba was in a cold sweat, constantly dodging the old man's attacks.
The entire front hall made the two of them fight in a mess, Xiahou Ba couldn't avoid it, he just fought hard and rushed towards the door, as long as he could get out, he would have a way to get rid of this old ghost, the late stage of the Spirit Realm was really not something he could match, I don't know how Tong Shaoyang killed those two, thinking of Tong Shaoyang, Xiahou Ba felt a trace of guilt in addition to surprise.
The old man in black saw Xiahou Ba's intentions, exerted force under his feet, and his figure suddenly swept over Xiahou Ba's head, and he didn't forget to turn around and kick him hard, and kicked him back into the front hall. Xiahou Ba clutched his chest, only feeling as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he couldn't get up at all for a while, so he could only stare helplessly at the old man who was walking towards him step by step.
"Ahem~ Did you think you would be able to run away if you killed me? Don't forget that I'm the city lord, and the royal family won't let you go!" Xiahou Ba struggled to spit out a few words and kept gasping again, after all, he was also a master in the middle of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he was beaten like this, and his face was lost.
"The royal family, you frogs at the bottom of the well think so, just a prince and my master really don't care about it, if he has the courage to come and find it, but your life is still useful, of course you can't kill it like this, there is still a good show waiting to be staged later." ”
The old man in black squatted down, with a wicked smile on his face, and at some point there was an extra purple pill in his hand, pinched open Xiahou Ba's mouth and stuffed it directly. Xiahou Ba wanted to spit it out, but who expected that the pill would melt in his mouth and flow into his throat in an instant, not painful but with a little cool feeling.
"What did you give me!Bastard, even if I am a ghost, I will peel your skin!" Xiahou Ba knew that he was really finished, this old man would never let go of himself after spending so much time, but he couldn't help him, so he could only vent the anger in his heart by yelling and scolding.
The old man ignored Xiahouba who fell to the ground, took out a thumb-sized spice from his arms, lit it and threw it in a corner, and then walked towards the door happily, and glanced at Xiahouba sympathetically when he went out.
"Take care, Xiahou City Lord!"
When Tong Shaoyang came, he saw the mess in the place, Xiahou Ba fell to the ground as if he was getting more air and less breathing, but his mind was still very sober, and he saw Tong Shaoyang beckoning to him effortlessly and signaling to go over.
"What is the city lord doing, do you think I'm going to bypass you like this?"
Tong Shaoyang approached Xiahou Ba, seeing that the person he admired in the past has now become like this, in addition to the joy, there is also a faint loss in his heart, but this cannot affect his determination to avenge his father, even if he can't kill him, it will also make him taste unforgettable pain.
"Shaoyang, the most wrong thing I did in my life was to conspire with Song Wujian to kill your father, I didn't want his life at that time, everything was providential, no matter what you do to me, I have no opinion, I just don't want to see you being calculated by the Song family again, listen to me, you hurry up and leave, while I still have a breath, otherwise you won't be able to argue afterwards!"
Xiahou Ba was in tears, grabbing Tong Shaoyang's sleeve with one hand, urging him to leave quickly, the signs of life gradually faded, Xiahou Ba didn't know how many minutes he could last, he never wanted his death to implicate the Tong family again, this can be regarded as a wake-up when he came to the end.
Tong Shaoyang was stunned for a while, he didn't know what Xiahou Ba meant by this, it was obvious that they were incompatible, why did they say that they wanted to help themselves?
"You make it clear to me, don't play any sinister tricks, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Xiahou Ba sighed lightly, Tong Shaoyang is still too young, don't you understand what he said? Don't look at yourself in good spirits, but that's all superficial phenomena, and you can't say that you will be angry the next moment, when Tong Shaoyang is the murderer of herself, the Song family can not be afraid of the royal family, but the Tong family definitely does not have this strength.
"It's too late, listen to me and go, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape if I die, just like when your father died here in the beginning, I can't explain it, my escort team is almost coming back, and when so many people watch, you will be finished!"
Xiahouba pushed Tong Shaoyang hard, but that little bit of strength didn't mean Tong Shaoyang, even a five or six-year-old child couldn't push it. Xiahou Ba was too excited, his face became more and more red, and he coughed desperately, and after a while, blood slipped from his mouth drop by drop.
Tong Shaoyang suddenly understood something, suddenly slapped his head, didn't care about any more nonsense, turned his head and ran towards the door, those masters also ran out with Tong Shaoyang inexplicably, but before he could get out of the door of the front hall, countless guards poured into the door of the mansion, looking like they had lost a battle, and looked behind him in panic from time to time.
"Ah! It's Tong Shaoyang, why is he here too!" The guards panicked instantly, fell to their knees, and begged Tong Shaoyang to let him go, there was an eighty-year-old mother on it, and there were children waiting to be fed, how pitiful and how to say, snot and tears, Tong Shaoyang frowned.
"Shaoyang, we're here to help you. A person shouted at the gate of the house, and looked closely at the Tong Zhan, and there were a group of Tong masters and some people who didn't know behind him, it turned out that the escort team wanted to go directly to the front of the Song Mansion after chasing Tong Shaoyang and others unsuccessfully, but who expected to go far before they met Tong Zhan's gang, and the fierce battle lasted for about half an hour, and the escort team suffered heavy casualties, so they fled to the city lord's mansion in embarrassment.
"Don't talk about anything else, let's go quickly!"
Tong Shaoyang crossed the group of guards who were still kneeling on the ground and pulled Tong Zhan and walked outside, who knows how long Xiahou Ba can live for this delay, I hope nothing will happen. A large group of people faded like a tide, and those guards and others walked away before they stood up one by one wiping cold sweat, and their hearts were so frightened that they couldn't beat just now.
"City Lord!City Lord!What's wrong with you, something is wrong, the City Lord was killed by Tong Shaoyang!" Several people who entered the front hall ran out in a panic, their words were a little unspeakable, their fingers trembling and pointing to the front hall, and the other guards cautiously approached, and saw that in the front hall, Xiahou Ba was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were round, and his death was extremely hideous.
"Ah! The city lord was really killed by Tong Shaoyang! Let's run quickly, otherwise he will come back to kill him!"
The guards screamed again and again, they didn't care about cleaning up Xiahouba's corpse, and rushed towards the outside of the mansion in a panic, their hearts were full of fear, maybe they couldn't forget a person's name wherever they went in this life - Tong Shaoyang!
