Chapter 170: Entanglement of the Greater Good

When he first saw Zhou Yang, he was still a minor cultivator in the Kaiyuan Realm, and at that time, Pu Zheng was already at the peak of the Lingtai.

However, things have changed, one year in Hedong and one year in Hexi, Zhou Yang has entered the realm at a rapid pace, and he has reached the late stage of Lingtai, and judging from his breath, he is not an ordinary late-stage cultivator, this is really terrifying!

Pu Zheng looked back at himself, not only did his cultivation not improve, but he fell several realms one after another, and he sighed that creation made people, and the will of heaven was unpredictable.

"Yes, Brother Zhou, I also admire it tightly. Another young man hugged his fists.

This person Zhou Yang knew, and he was a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect who later surrendered to Cheng, and his name was Hu Zhiran. And the two people sitting next to him, one is named Ling Bao and the other is Zhong Ming.

He naturally knew Lin Cheng beside Puzheng.

Zhou Yang didn't know Zhong Ming before, but he heard that he also came over with Hu Zhiran and Ling Bao.

"Brother Hu has won the prize. By the way, a few of you haven't eaten yet, senior brother, you and Sister Xing'er will get some more food in a while, and take out the snow ao and pangolin leopard meat you hid and let a few brothers taste it. ”

"I still need you to say, I'll get it now!" Tie Hu's face was a little unnatural, how could the beast meat he hid be discovered by Xiao Yangzi, it was really a strange thing.

Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at Zhou Yang, which means that you also save some face for your senior brother.

Zhou Yang glanced back, meaning that I didn't say that he was reluctant to take it out, this guy was the best.

Pu Zheng and the others were also smiling, and the two brothers were really funny.

As soon as Tie Hu left, the door was pushed open, and Li Tong led the way into the house, followed by Xing'er.

As soon as she came in, she looked Sima Ling'er up and down, and her face was joyless and carefree. Zhou Yang chuckled in his heart, what kind of expression is this sister Xing'er!

"Miss Ling'er, I'm Li Xing'er, and I grew up with Little Yangzi. Presumably Miss should have heard that my brother and I were saved by Xiao Yangzi, and this life is his. We have sworn a blood oath that we will repay him as slaves and servants in this life and this life. You and Xiao Yangzi are a family, and naturally they are also the owners of my brother and sister. Come up again, master, please accept our brother and sister!"

Xing'er had never said such a thing in front of people before, although a few days ago she said to herself that she would be a slave to him and Ling'er, but Zhou Yang didn't think so. As he said, he never thought of her as a slave, she would always be his apricot sister.

I didn't expect to see Ling'er today, and say such things in front of many people, how could I not let Zhou Yang change color.

"Sister Xing'er, you!" Zhou Yang Huoran got up, but at this time, Ling'er reached out to help Li Xing'er first.

"Sister Xing'er is talking about that, you are Sister Xing'er of Little Yangzi, you are my Sister Xing'er, Sister Xing'er forever! Don't talk about slaves or anything like that in the future! We must not do that again, otherwise I and Little Yangzi will be ashamed, okay, Sister Xing'er?"

Sima Ling'er looked sincere, without any intention of procrastination. Xing'er wanted to say something more, but she stopped her, and her attitude was very resolute.

Xing'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly and stood up with Ling'er's support.

But Sima Ling'er glanced at Zhou Yang, and the content in his eyes was very rich.

Zhou Yang's body trembled, and his heart was empty.

It seems that Lin Cheng's mouth is very unreliable, and Ling'er should know something.

But looking at the attitude of the two women, nothing happened.

However, the woman's heart is in the sea, and his eldest lady seems to be reasonable, but who knows what she thinks in her heart. And from the moment she entered the house, Ling'er regarded herself as the hostess, and she really had the demeanor of a big lady.

"Bah, Bah, dirty!" As soon as the word eldest lady appeared in Zhou Yang's mind, he secretly scolded himself.

It's not enough to have Ling'er, I really have plans to enjoy the blessings of all people, and what do I say about the eldest lady and the second lady, which is a bit too dissatisfied!

Zhou Yang looked at the two women and lost his mind.

"No, women are naturally sensitive, even if Lin Cheng doesn't say it, with Ling'er's cleverness, he can guess something. But she didn't say a word of taste, this eldest lady is too open-minded! This is absolutely unreasonable, and the fact that she does not speak does not mean that she does not mind this matter. ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang beat a drum in his heart again.

The two sisters were talking on the side, and Zhou Yang also came back to his senses and chatted with Pu Zheng and the others, but the corner of his eye kept peeking at the two of them, occasionally meeting the eyes of the eldest lady, and he quickly turned his head in fright.

After a while, Tiehu made a table of good dishes.

The meat of Xue Ao and Panshan Leopard, Tie Hu had already said that he had finished eating, but Zhou Yang knew very well in his heart that this greedy senior brother secretly hid a lot, and at this moment, he actually made four dishes of these two delicious dishes!

In addition, there are steamed eyeless gray carp, as well as Zhou Yang's favorite wild venison, plus a few vegetarian dishes, full of tables, red, green, green, meat and vegetarian, like that, looking at it, you have an appetite, not much worse than Wanshunlou's dishes.

After everyone sat around, they began to drink.

Pu Zheng and the others tasted a few mouthfuls of animal meat and eyeless gray carp, and they praised the taste and couldn't let go of the chopsticks.

Ling'er also has a big appetite, two glasses of wine, her pretty face is red, and her tongue is a little bigger, but it is still a mouthful of wine, a mouthful of meat, very bold, and the Tiehu Li and others are dumbfounded, where is there still the demeanor of the eldest lady of the family!

Xing'er is also smiling like a flower, looking at Sima Ling'er for a while, and Zhou Yang for a while, she can't help but cover her mouth and smile.

But Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed, not to mention the small amount of alcohol that the eldest lady had, and frequently raised her glasses, not paying attention to her image at all, and this problem was corrected for her in the future. In the future, if you become Mrs. Zhou, you must be dignified and steady.

During the banquet, Zhou Yang, Pu Zheng and others drank very happily, chatted happily, and said nothing.

Pu Zheng told Zhou Yang that it was not easy for them to leave Wanjian Island this time. After Qiang Xian came back, he was very different from before, he became suspicious, he didn't trust anyone, and the only one he trusted was his daughter.

When he first returned to the sect, Qiang Xian closed his door and ignored the defense of Wanjian Island, and handed it all over to the eldest lady Qiang Xia to take charge of.

Originally, Sima Ling'er wanted to take this opportunity to leave Wanjian Island, but who would have thought that Qiang Xian suddenly came out of the customs and announced the implementation of wartime control on Wanjian Island, and his attitude towards Sima Ling'er also changed.

Ignoring it is secondary, and what is more serious is that he took back the small island that was given to Ling'er before, and sent people to guard it, and strictly ordered her to return to the island to live within three days, which seems to mean house arrest.

Seeing that things had changed, Pu Zheng and the other guards advocated that Ling'er leave Wanjian Island immediately. How can he bear Qiangxian has already sent people to block the island, and Sima Ling'er and the others have almost become prisoners.

A few days ago, someone suddenly came from the front line of Jinling Island, and it was the business firm that urged Qiang Xian to immediately lead the elite disciples to support, the wording was very harsh, if you don't do it, you will bear the consequences.

Wan Jianmen has already suffered a great loss of vitality, at this time, Wan must not offend the Tongzhou Commercial Bank, but if he sends troops again, his own strength will be greatly damaged, and Qiang Xian will immediately fall into a dilemma.

Only one day later, the Tongzhou Commercial Bank issued three strict orders in a row, if it did not send troops again, the Tongzhou Commercial Bank and the Cangbeast Palace would directly transfer troops from Anping City, first destroy the Wanjian Gate, and then go to Jinling Island.

Tongzhou Commercial Bank has already ripped off its mask and exposed its fangs, and Wanjian Island hesitates a little, and it will usher in a catastrophe.

Qiang Xian had no choice but to eat the bitter fruit, pinching his nose and sending Xiang Hui to lead 8,000 elites to Jinling Island.

With this matter, Qiang Xian couldn't take care of Sima Ling'er, and a large number of disciples were withdrawn at once, and the main island of Wanjian Island was empty of guards, so all the disciples on the island where Sima Ling'er was located were withdrawn, and all of them shrank back to the main island, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, there were still checkpoints of Wanjianmen along the way, and it was easy to arouse suspicion when there were too many people, so Sima Ling'er had to lead Puzheng and a few people to leave the island in two batches, while the remaining dozen or so guards stayed there, ready to wait for another opportunity to get out.

When Zhou Yang heard this, he couldn't help but secretly fear that if there was no strict order from Tongzhou Commercial Bank, Qiang Xian would really put Ling'er under house arrest, and this move must have ulterior motives.

The deeper he thought about it, the more shocked Zhou Yang felt in his heart. At first, he didn't figure it out, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, for the Xuanfu Sect, Sima Ling'er's value should not be low, based on this, he thought very thoroughly later.

Sima Ling'er is the enemy of the Xuanfu Sect, and Zhou Yuanzheng must want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles. And if there is an accident in Wanjianmen in the future, Sima Ling'er can be regarded as a very important bargaining chip, and Qiang Xian can make secret transactions with Zhou Yuanzheng with her, which can be regarded as leaving a back hand for herself.

Fortunately, there was something later, and fortunately, Ling'er had already planned to leave, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhou Yang sneered in his heart: "Your Ten Thousand Sword Sect has already suffered a great loss of vitality after the battle of Jinling Island, and now you have sent eight thousand elites, needless to say, these people will also be cannon fodder." If that's the case, hehe, the Ten Thousand Swords Gate is in danger, and your strong strings are even more dangerous!"

This time, I didn't succeed in stealing chickens, and I reversed the rice. He felt that he had taken advantage of the Tongzhou Commercial Bank, but now it seemed that Wanjianmen was just a chess piece in the hands of others! Even if you have a false Dan realm, it is in vain, in terms of strength and scheming, you are not the opponent of the big shopkeeper Qingxuzi.

"Damn, none of the major factions in Anping City have a good thing, in order to achieve their own goals, they will do anything!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but scold.

In fact, this is true not only of Anping City, but also of the entire monastic world. For the sake of the interests of their own faction and for their personal gains and losses, they did not hesitate to shed rivers of blood and ambush millions of corpses.

As long as it is beneficial, what does the life and death of others matter? Even if the blood is raging, I will look at it coldly. Once it is profitable, pounce on it and bite it hard, what punishes evil and promotes good, what destroys demons and defends the way, when the time comes, it will be an empty slogan.

Now the battle of Anping River is also completely for profit. Whether it is the four factions of Anping, the two factions of Dingbei, or the Lord of Yinshan City, they must be unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and they all have plots.

The Anping River is 108,000 miles away from you, even if the entire river is dry, it can't hinder them from doing anything, but at this time, they are all gathered there, and they are still under the banner of eliminating the strong and helping the weak, it is all nonsense, and no one will do a loss-making transaction.

"In a war of this magnitude, there may be even greater entanglements of interests. Such a thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Yang's mind.
