Chapter Thirty-Four: The Shocking Changes in Baiyang City
86_86305Just when Qin Yang and the others were lying peacefully on the bed, doing the things that everyone liked the most, the Zhao family in Baiyang City suddenly fell into a completely sleepless night, and one after another exciting news kept falling on their heads like thunder, and everything could be said to be beyond the boundaries of their imagination.
First of all, the news that the three brothers Zhao Keqi, Zhao Kehua, and Zhao Kelin were killed on the spot in front of the He family's house on the outskirts of Baiyang City, and there were even rumors that two of the three died in internal fighting, and some people said that several people were not hacked to death, but died of violent illness at the same time, and some people said that there was an unborn master of the He family who came out to suppress the formation, and the three brothers went to provoke in the case of unknown circumstances, but they were directly killed by the other party without warning. Although there are many versions of the rumors, and the accounts are also different, there is always one thing that has not been run - the three heroes of the Zhao family, who have been in charge of the Zhao family for more than ten years and are famous in the entire Baiyang City, have become a pile of white bones from today on, completely dissipating in the smoke and clouds of history.
This news has already made many people unable to turn around, but among the shadow guards who escaped from the scene, another more shocking news was leaked, it turned out that the master actually had a son who no one knew about, and this young man, who was regarded as the future heir by the master, was also killed in the same place as the three brothers of the Zhao family today, and the three hot heirs of the Zhao family all died in one day today.
Everyone present couldn't even believe it, let alone imagine what happened in front of the so-called He family's mansion dozens of miles away from Baiyang City, which could make these four people die at the same time, that kind of family living in the wilderness would really have an unborn master to suppress the formation, so that even the Zhao family, which had been entrenched in Baiyang City for more than two hundred years, was completely powerless to challenge?
No one dares to believe it, but this is a fact that has been repeatedly confirmed by countless people, and there is no possibility of denying it at all. Of course, according to the shadow guards who escaped back, the head of the family himself was not too seriously injured at the time and had escaped by chance. Only this news can be called the most timely comfort to a large number of people up and down the Zhao family. As long as the head of the family is fine, there will not be much problem for the Zhao family to continue to maintain the status of the two major families in Baiyang City, after all, not long after the death of the ancestor of the Wang family, the new head of the family has ascended the throne, and without absolute certainty, the head of the Wang family, whose personal rights are not stable, will not be so eager to act on the opponent who has been standing side by side with them for more than a hundred years.
More people's minds were transferred to Zhao Longjie and the three Zhao brothers with this news, and this kind of news full of gossip really made those old women who had lived in the Zhao family's mansion for a long time find a topic to talk about. The origin of Zhao Longjie's birth, the unspeakable story of Zhao Huanglong and a certain girl in Baiyang City, and the unspeakable story of Zhao Huanglong and the widow Zhang in the next village...... In short, all kinds of unspeakable stories add up, and there are no less than 20 versions of Zhao Longjie's origin.
In addition to the talk of these old women, more people, especially those who have been excluded from the power center of the Zhao family, have read a few very unusual meanings from this news - why would Zhao Huanglong rather let an illegitimate son with no experience hide and take the throne than let the three Zhao Kehua brothers take the stage, in addition to the fact that the three of them have been in charge of the family power for a long time, and in fact Zhao Huanglong has caused him to be dissatisfied, is there really no deeper reason? Zhao Huanglong has really been deaf to this extent? Many people with extraordinary minds have already realized some permissible abilities, and then they no longer continue to think about it.
However, not long after everyone put their minds at ease, Zhao Huanglong, who fled in a hurry in the mouth of the shadow guard, was like a miracle, and suddenly appeared from the backyard of the Zhao family, and suddenly walked out from behind a secret door, and suddenly appeared in the center of the main hall where the Zhao family was concentrated, without the slightest appearance of running for his life in a hurry. No one knew how the head of the family got in, but Zhao Huanglong stood there without any pretense.
Immediately after that, the old man who didn't seem to have changed, but had a faint weird expression, suddenly issued an order that shocked the audience again: "Everyone go back to their respective rooms to prepare weapons, supplies, and medicines for an hour, and then gather in the backyard, just tonight, all the members of the Zhao family will go out to officially declare war on the Wang family, which has been fighting friction for decades, and will not destroy the Wang family, and vow not to give up!"
No one could figure out what Zhao Huanglong was thinking at the moment, and in anyone's eyes, this was an extremely crazy move. The three Zhao Kehua, who were the center of gravity of the Zhao family, had died, and another rumored heaven-level master, Zhao Longjie, also went to report to the king of Hades. Now in such a situation, it is only right to do everything possible to cover up the facts, and pretend to be undamaged in strength to avoid the Wang family from making trouble, what does it mean to suddenly attack and defend the Wang family in the middle of the night? Not to mention that this crazy behavior can have a few chances of winning, the four young people in the family have just died less than a day, and they are all your own sons. Even if it's for disguise, it won't be to the point of this.
However, Zhao Huanglong's tone was completely undeniable, and the flames that erupted from his eyebrows were even more frightened that everyone didn't dare to say a word. Zhao Huanglong, who has not interfered in family affairs for more than ten years, made a sudden move, and everyone reacted again, who really counts in this family.
There are still two quarters of an hour before Zhao Huanglong's request, and as long as the people in the Zhao family can go to the battlefield, they have all completed the assembly in the square in the center of the front and rear, up to Zhao Huanglong, who is at the beginning of the heaven-level level, and down to the silver-level minor who has just become a cultivator, all the combat power of the Zhao family has been assembled, and the goal is directly aimed at the Wang family on the opposite side of the city.
Standing on the top of the improvised high platform, Zhao Huanglong started the pre-war mobilization with a flushed face: "Zhao family sons, the Wang family has been hegemonic in Baiyang City for a long time, and they have never taken my Zhao family in their eyes, and the heart of my whole clan has long been destroyed. Today, I received a report from the secret agent that the Wang family has decided to launch a siege and annihilation battle against my Zhao family tomorrow. Is it tolerable, but is it unbearable? The Wang family has bullied us like this, can we agree?"
"Absolutely not!" Taken in Zhao Huanglong's questioning, everyone in the Zhao family loudly expressed their extreme dissatisfaction with the Wang family's atrocities, and some young people in the family who had not gone out for a long time were completely instigated, as if they were swearing not to stand with the Wang family. Only those black-clothed shadow guards who are familiar with Zhao Huanglong's recent actions are full of distrust of these words, and the family's intelligence is also part of the work of the shadow guards, although the division of labor between the two parts is clear, but after all, everyone is a battle between them with their heads bowed and not looking up, and they don't know what is going on with each other.
For example, if the Wang family is going to sneak attack the next day, if you want to say that this information hasn't even revealed a little wind before tonight, this group of shadow guards won't believe it even if they drink ten catties of liquor. It was a reason, a reason for Zhao Huanglong to launch this raid, but what reason did he have to guarantee that he would be victorious?
Following behind a large group of people, the heart of the Shadow Guard Commander was even more foggy, the three brothers of the Zhao family were dead, and the Zhao family couldn't find anyone who could lead the team for a while, this battle related to the family's luck and lifeline, only Zhao Huanglong was in front of the charge, and the rest of the people were led by the eldest son and grandson of each room. With such a team organization, once the Wang family reacts, in the face of that kind of organized defensive counterattack, even if it concentrates more people, it will not be enough for the Wang family to kill. For the first time, this Shadow Guard Commander, who had been fighting on the knife for more than thirty years, felt a huge sense of helplessness rise in his heart, and this feeling had never appeared even when Zhao Huanglong opened the secret method to escape, and he was very likely to become a ghost under the knife.
A battle that ended decades of peace and tranquility in Baiyang City was suddenly launched under the order of Zhao Huanglong's whim, without any preparation, let alone any intelligence prediction and strength comparison.
With the surge of this crowd, a large number of people in Baiyang City opened their windows and looked carefully at those who were running on the street, and in the eyes of countless doubts, only in the eyes of those old people who were already past their prime, there was a sudden unspeakable fear - the tragedy of the vicious fight between the two families sixty years ago, could it be that it will be repeated again tonight?
The unreserved movement of the Zhao family instantly alarmed the secret sentry stationed on the street by the Wang family, and the extremely urgent warning signals were transmitted to the elders on duty in the main hall of the Wang family.
"What? The Zhao family has attacked? This is which dark post can't sleep in the middle of the night and has hallucinations, and this kind of fake news dares to be sent from the most urgent channel. Wang Ke, who was on duty, immediately threw the note aside and sighed boredly.
However, just when Wang Ke was mocking the abnormal nervous secret whistle in his heart, three letters reporting the Zhao family's raid were suddenly placed in front of him, all of them were reports sent from the most urgent channel, and one of them was written in a particularly hurry--It's close, it's close!
In the face of four identical reports, and even reports from the emergency channel, Wang Ke could no longer sit still, preferring to believe whether he had it or not, and he immediately stretched out his hand and rang the warning bell that had not been ringed directly above him for almost sixty years - once it was sounded, it meant that the He family had reached the most dangerous moment, and no matter who was in the Wang family, they must immediately enter the battle state.
As Wang Ke's hand pulled, a very dull knocking sound resounded throughout the entire Wang family's mansion
