Chapter 11: Crisis

Xiao Wunian led a large group of men and horses through the bushes, and vaguely saw three figures standing in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he got closer, he couldn't help but be stunned, among the three people in front of him, the person in the middle was the city lord of Nanyang City, Xu Qing, the deputy priest of Nanyang Divine Palace.

A hint of conspiracy spreads, and with Xiao Wangnian's skills, he naturally knows how many people are lurking in the bushes, but after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he is also a very courageous person, if he does not dare to do business because someone wants to be unfavorable to him, then he will not be the leader of the underground forces in the three southern cities and the biggest smuggler.

Moreover, Xiao Xiaonian is confident that no one in the southern realm can pose a substantial threat to him, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if there is really danger, the Xiao family also has the last hole card, as for this hole card, even he will be afraid when he thinks about it.

When Xu Qing saw Xiao Wangnian's appearance, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and then he stepped forward calmly, as if he really wanted to talk about business with him.

According to the intelligence of the Xu family and the Divine Palace, this Xiao Wangnian suddenly rose eighteen years ago and unified the underground forces of the three southern cities in one fell swoop.

As for luring him out of the city in person this time, it was to rely on the face of a big man in the Divine Palace, under the pretext of buying a large number of weapons made in the empire at a low price, Xiao Wangnian was worried that an accident would happen, so he personally led the team to trade.

Xu Qing has been in charge of Nanyang City for several years, and he is nominally the supreme governor of Nanyang City, but only he knows that there are still two fierce tigers sleeping next to him, which makes him uncomfortable day and night.

A fierce tiger is Xiao Wangnian, most of the business in Nanyang City has the shadow of the Xiao family behind the scenes, his power is still somewhat binding on the upper echelons of the city, the further down, the weaker and weaker the influence, this time he is bound to completely eliminate this trouble.

The other tiger is naturally the Divine Palace, the Divine Palace has been inherited in the Federation for three thousand years, and it has long been deeply rooted, and its depth is not comparable to even the Xu family that has guarded Nanyang City for generations, Xu Qing naturally understands this truth, and has always been respectful of the Divine Palace, and he is also the deputy priest of the Nanyang City Divine Palace in name, and the Divine Palace also maintains a considerable tacit understanding with him on weekdays, and has never pointed fingers at his management, which also slowly dispelled Xu Qing's wariness of the Divine Palace.

Therefore, Xu Qing believed that as long as Xiao Wangnian was eliminated, the forces under him would collapse, and Nanyang City would really be under his rule at that time.

Although Xiao Wunian has rarely made a move in recent years, according to the intelligence of the Divine Palace, he is likely to be a master above the seventh level, so Xu Qing does not dare to slack off, in the hands of the people who dispatched this time, in addition to being an eighth-level warrior, he also brought six sixth-level martial artists, and the rest of the people are all above the third level, even if they are placed in the army, they are the elite of the elite.

Not only that, but this time the plan to deal with Xiao Wangnian Divine Palace also participated, and even sent four masters to hide on Xu Qing's side, although Xu Qing didn't know the specific strength of these people, but he felt that it was enough to eliminate Xiao Wangnian and his party in front of him.

Think about it, what if Xiao Wangnian is a seventh-level master, there are at most two or three sixth-level masters under his hands, and the others are all minions, how can they withstand the joint siege of Nanyang City and the Divine Palace.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing showed a playful smile.

He didn't know that those coalition forces lying in ambush in the bushes, four of them stared directly at Xiao Wangnian, and they didn't even let go of a trace of expression on his face, these four people were the four masters of the Divine Palace's dispatch this time, each of them had a seventh-level strength, their task was very simple, to monitor all the actions of Xiao Wangnian, if it was really the person that the Divine Palace wanted, they could take all means to bring it back to the Divine Palace Headquarters in Shenyuan City.

Xiao Wunian didn't care much, and walked forward slowly, his eyes collided with Xu Qing, and he didn't know how many sparks came out.

"Brother Xiao, look up for a long time!" Xu Qing arched his hand and spoke first.

"Have we met, why don't I remember, who is this person, how can he call him a brother and a brother, my father didn't give birth to such a brother as you!" Xiao Wangnian deliberately said these words very politely, and then twisted his head to the few people behind him, as if to ask if they had seen the person in front of him.

Of course, Xiao Wangnian knew Xu Qing, and the two had met in many scenes, but there was no communication. Recently, as soon as he saw that the other party was not good, Xiao Wangnian didn't want to suffer, so he sarcastically mocked the other party verbally.

Hearing it suddenly, Xu Qing almost vomited blood angrily, this person still has the bearing of a master, how can he be mixed like a scoundrel in the market, no, like a mad dog that bites people when he sees them, he provokes himself for no reason.

Xu Qingqiang endured the anger in his heart and said: "Brother Xiao is really a noble person who forgets things, my Nanyang City Xu Qing, I must have heard of it a little." While speaking, Xu Qing thought to himself, "Let you be proud, wait a while, let you survive and not die, hum!"

"It turned out to be the lord of Nanyang City, Xiao Mou had eyes and didn't know Hengduan Mountain, but now when he saw the real person, he was really in awe, just like the blisters spit out by the fish in the Tianhe, spitting one after another, haha!" Xiao Wangnian knew that the other party had bad intentions, so he didn't care much about words.

Xu Qing was so angry, as long as he was a person, he could hear the implicit derogation in the other party's words, but Xu Qing couldn't attack immediately, he had to finish asking what he wanted to ask before he could do it, which was also the only requirement of the Divine Palace for him, so he could only endure it.

I saw that the city lord Xu was suffocated, his face was flushed, and he said stiffly: "That is the case, then don't blame Xu for being ruthless." Xiao Wangnian, let me ask you, what is in the box behind you, but it is a forbidden thing!"

Xiao Wunian looked back at his long line, plus dozens of large boxes, this is not easy to explain. Knowing that the other party had the intention to embarrass him, he said stiffly: "This is not what the City Lord Xu has the right to know, if you want to ask, go and ask the Great Secretary of the Divine Palace Qin Tiansi, these goods were ordered by his old man." ”

Seeing that Xiao Wangnian moved out of the Divine Palace, Xu Qing didn't want to say anything, there were four great masters of the Divine Palace on his side, if he accidentally said something that shouldn't be said and was passed on to the ears of the Great Priest, it would be worth the loss.

After straightening his collar, Xu Qing said loudly: "This official is ordered to come this time to question the Xiao family and others in Nanjiang City, and everyone in the Xiao family will put down their weapons and deal with them after listening, otherwise, there will be no mercy!"

"Hahaha, joke, my Xiao family has always been law-abiding, but I don't know whose order the Lord of Xu Dacheng is serving, is it Mr. President or Lord of the Divine Palace?"

And the four Divine Palace masters hidden in the shadows were all squinting their eyes, trying to see the most subtle expressions on Xiao Wangnian's face.

"Naturally, it is on the order of the Divine Palace, I am not only the lord of Nanyang City, but also the deputy priest of the Nanyang Divine Palace, the order of the Divine Palace, of course!" Xu Qing said solemnly, the matter involved the Divine Palace, even he did not dare to be angry at will.

"Then Xiao Mou wants to ask, my Xiao family has neither done anything wrong, nor has it collaborated with the enemy and treason, what authority does the Divine Palace have to investigate?"

Xiao Wangnian was still very crazy, if it was more than ten years ago, he would definitely think about how many intrigues and tricks were behind this matter with a cautious face, and now he had to hide his true face like this.

"Oh, if you want evidence, then I'll give it to you!" Xu Qing paused, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiao Shaoqing, when are you going to tell me!"

The sudden reprimand made Xiao Wangnian's face change suddenly, and his expression changed subtly, and then quickly returned to his original state!

But the change in his expression had already fallen in the eyes of the four seventh-level masters hidden in the shadows, and the four of them were also shocked in their hearts, it really mattered!
