Chapter 50: The Current Situation of the Imperial Capital

In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and Hongwu took the Xun family's hitchhiker and went all the way to the emperor's capital. Originally, the guards of the Xun family were a little scared of Duan Heng, but a week ago, Duan Heng shot and killed a team of horse thieves, and that shot left a deep impression on these guards, and they were very in awe of both Hong Wu and Duan Heng.

Usually, Hong Wu would also discuss the experience of instrument cultivation with Xun Yang, while Yun Fan, who had not practiced martial arts, could only listen silently, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.

Half a month, starting from Mosha City, passing through two cities, the horses have also changed several horses, as for the carriage is even more dusty, there is still half a day to go to the next city, when it is estimated that the carriage will be scrubbed.

"I don't know what my father and brother are doing...... Hong Wu took out his sword and stroked it gently. When I left, I didn't bring anything souvenir, so I had to pin my emotions on this sword, and every time I saw this sword, I would recall how I hunted monsters in the mountains and forests with Hongjiang when I was a child.

"Homesick again?" Xun Yang saw Hong Wu's inner thoughts and asked. "yes, homesick again. It's been half a month, maybe my brother's strength has returned to what it was before, and I haven't broken through to the middle of the fourth order yet. Hong Wu shook his head. As soon as these words came out, even Duan Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Do you think the breakthrough is to eat tofu? It's so simple, I'm only in the middle of the second order now, and I've been on pause for at least a year!" Xun Yang said with a wry smile. "But the imperial capital is full of masters, and if I don't improve my strength, I will definitely be played to death. Hong Wu shook his head. "What are you afraid of, as long as your strength appears in the imperial capital, at your age, all the sects in the imperial capital will definitely compete to grab you! As long as you convert to a major sect, you can walk sideways in the imperial capital!" Yun Fan was a little longing. Duan Heng didn't say anything, with his strength, he would definitely be able to make the Hongwu Sect no worse than those major sects.

Hong Wu looked at Duan Heng and smiled slightly, "Actually, I didn't come to the imperial capital this time to break through. I just want to figure out one thing, it has absolutely something to do with your Yun family!" Hong Wu looked at Yun Fan. "What does it have to do with our Yun family?" Yun Fan asked, Xun Yang also looked at him with interest.

He laughed a few times, "As soon as I arrive in the imperial capital, I will go to the Yun family, and then you will know what is going on." Hong Wu swallowed his appetite. "Well, really, this kind of thing still hangs your appetite. Xun Yang consciously didn't ask.

There was silence in the car for a while, "By the way, can you tell me about the current imperial capital, in addition to the five families, what other powerful strength does it have?" asked Hong Wu. Xun Yang lowered his head and thought for a while, "The stronger forces?" he confirmed, "The strongest strength in the imperial capital now is, of course, the royal family, the Yan family!" Xun Yang said.

"Below the royal Yan family, there is the Jiu family of Prime Minister Jiusheng and the Qi family of Zhen** Wang Qi Jin, the heads of these two families are the great heroes of the opening of the dynasty. The top forces in the imperial capital are these three. Down is the five imperial capitals, and then there are the business alliances, and the auction houses across the country are all managed by the business alliance, so the business alliance has a lot of land. Xun Yang said.

"The name given to the Shang Alliance is the Divine Beast Alliance, also known as the Martial Alliance. It was formed by the four imperial capital sects, and the four major sects were the Qinglongmen, Xuanwu Sect, Vermilion Bird Sect and the White Tiger Sect. These four major sects are what everyone in the Dali Dynasty wants to enter when they break their heads. Even I am no exception. Xun Yang smiled embarrassedly.

"There are two great religions left, one is Buddhism and the other is Taoism. The two sects are obviously good brothers, but secretly no one knows how they fight. But these are not things I can touch, so I don't know much about them for the time being. Xun Yang said regretfully.

"The rest are some small and scattered forces, and when you come into contact with these big forces, you can leave them alone. Xun Yang said. Duan Heng suddenly looked at him, "You seem to have forgotten about two terrifying forces. He said to Xun Yang. Xun Yang looked at him, "Could it be that there are any more important forces in the imperial capital?" he asked rhetorically.

Duan Heng bared his teeth and said, "There will always be a Chaos God Cult in the Mercenary Guild!" he said. After hearing this, Xun Yang hurriedly covered Duan Heng's mouth. "Shhh "Hong Ze (Duan Heng's pseudonym): Don't say that name! I admit that the Mercenary Guild is also a big force. But how can you tell the name of that teaching! They are simply not human!" Xun Yang said.

The second monk of Hong Wu was confused, and watched the two of them talk together with Yun Fan. "They're not people, but you can't deny it, if they want to rebel, do you think a single royal family can stop them? They are just accumulating now, they have already reversed once hundreds of years ago, but there is a person named Duan Heng who stopped them, so they have been silent for hundreds of years, and when they resist again, all the forces in the imperial capital plus Duan Heng may not be able to destroy them!" Duan Heng said.

Xun Yang sat back in a daze. Duan Heng...... What a haunting name!" Xun Yang sighed and looked out the window, "If it weren't for him, my father would have been a tenth-order master a long time ago, but he has done a lot of good things......" Xun Yang said to himself as if he was talking to a transparent person.

The car was silent again, and no one was willing to speak anymore, even if Yun Fan was chattering, it was obvious that he shouldn't speak now. "Actually, I don't think he did anything wrong. Suddenly, Xun Yang said. Duan Heng Hongwu's gaze all drifted to him. "Even if everyone in the Xun family hates him, I think he's right. Those who know him know that he just has his own thoughts and doesn't want to convert to any sect, but he was forced by those sects to have no way out, he has been cultivating in the mountains for so many years, his wife has also died, the mountains and rivers have changed, and the feelings that have been suppressed for many years have exploded. If it were me, I would have killed the entire Void Realm back then!" Xun Yang said.

At this time, the most shocked was Hong Wu, and now he realized how little he knew about his master, and he didn't even know what he had experienced. Turning his head to look at Xiang Duan Heng, he didn't have any expression on his face, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, but in the folk, it was said that he was a demon who killed the entire Void Realm.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, we should be about to fall into the next city, then we will find a place to rest for a while, yesterday was your guest, today you asked me to invite, talk about something else!" He patted Hong Wu on the shoulder and began to tell a joke to Yun Fan. After a while, the three of them began to tell jokes and put Duan Heng aside.

Duan Heng leaned quietly against the window, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word, as if he was asleep, and as if he was dead, jolting with the bumps of the car, unusually calm. Finally, after reversing the car several times, a trace of tears appeared in the corner of Duan Heng's eyes, which slid down his face and dripped onto the cushion......
