Chapter Thirty-Eight: Imperial Relatives

The Leopard's mansion has a strong visual impact, and the two giant wolves roaring in the sky at the door seem to be about to rush to the sky. The person who carved it had obviously carefully studied every movement of the wolf, and even the cold of the teeth was so vivid.

The huge gatehouse is arched by four wild wolf stone carvings, and the open red door is like a giant mouth opened by a wild wolf, plus the mighty demon wolf mercenaries in front of the door, showing the sanctity of this place everywhere.

The identity of Long Yunzhou and his party Liu Qing has already introduced to his good brother in detail on the road, Hu Leopard seems to be very generous, and he said that Liu Qing's friend is his friend, if everyone needs anything, just tell him. Except for the moon in the sky, everything else can be done.

Ling Yun seems to be very easy-going, he likes Hu Leopard's arrogant personality very much, he speaks briskly, and he doesn't beat around the bush. He also has some such characters in his nature, but he used to be an elder of the Heavenly Dao Academy, so he had to be more restrained.

Hu Bao arranged a place for everyone to live and sat in the hall of the guest room with everyone to drink tea. The martial arts family naturally does not pay attention to the art of drinking tea, Hu Leopard held the teacup like a cow, and Xuanyuan Yu shook his head when he saw it.

"Brother Liu, it's really not the right time for you to come. Now Shangqiu City is not like before, the king is seriously ill, and he believes in a wizard of unknown origin, that guy will only use witchcraft to deceive the king, which is not a good thing. The Ling family and the Sima family took advantage of the king's serious illness to take over the power of the Xiaqiu Kingdom, you are a thorn in their side, and they will definitely find you trouble. ”

Hu Leopard sighed and said, but his face was extremely firm: "But don't worry, they live in my house, and they don't have the courage to come to trouble." We demon wolf mercenaries are not vegetarians. ”

Liu Qing hugged his fist gratefully: "Thank you brother for your concern, but Liu Qing is not here to avoid trouble, on the contrary, I am here to find trouble." ”

Hu Leopard's eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you say, brother?"

Liu Qing snorted coldly: "The envoy I sent to the capital has not heard from him for three months, so he must have encountered an accident. And I have once again asked the refining family in Wuling City to resume refining medicine, and the Sima family and the Ling family are afraid that they will do something to me. In that case, then I might as well unite and sympathize with our families in Wuling City and deal with the two of them together. ”

After Liu Qing finished speaking, Hu Bao shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid Brother Liu, you will be disappointed, in Shangqiu City now, except for the accounts of the two of them, the rest of the families have long been attached to them." ”

Liu Qing was shocked: "Why is this happening?"

Hu Bao snorted coldly: "Because, they want to be in charge of the entire Xiaqiu Country. ”

Shangqiu City, Lingjia.

Li Huai trembled and looked at Ling Ce, who was sitting motionless on the Taishi chair, his face was gloomy, and he had been like this for about ten minutes. Standing around was Ling Ce's eldest son, Ling Hua, staring at Li Huai with blazing eyes.

Li Huai was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, he covered his bloody face and came to Ling Ce to complain about Hu Leopard's rudeness, and added fuel and vinegar to count Hu Leopard. In the end, he also told Ling Ce the news that Liu Qing had come to Shangqiu City, claiming that he just wanted to arrest Liu Qing, so he was beaten like this by Hu Leopard.

At first, Ling Ce listened happily, but the more he got later, the more gloomy his face became. By the time Li Huai finished speaking, Ling Ce's face was already gloomy like ice.

Li Huai has only seen Ling Ce's eyes now once in his life, that is, when Ling Ce's youngest daughter took Li Huai to see Ling Ce, she said that she must marry this man. At that time, Ling Ce's expression was the same as now, as if he was about to kill.

After a long time, Ling Ce let out a long sigh. He looked at Li Huai with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. With the glory of his family for hundreds of years and his own control of the court situation, Li Huai thought in his heart, he was like a mirror.

But he still nodded at Li Huai with praise: "You have done a good job, you must maintain it like this in the future, and put the interests of the family first everywhere." Your report is also very timely, Liu Qing is our big enemy, he is now in the capital, and it is Hu Leopard who took him into the city. That can only show that he colluded with Hu Bao and may have to do something. ”

When Li Huai heard that his father-in-law actually praised him, he immediately came to his senses, and said with a hippie smile: "Not bad, not bad." I've also heard that Liu Qing asked the family refining medicine in Wuling City to refine medicine again, and it seems that he wants to refine a large number of pills to improve his cultivation, and then make his mercenary troops stronger. His actions are very suspicious, he came to find Hu Bao, he must have colluded with each other to disadvantage you. ”

Ling Ce laughed, his eyes full of mockery: "Do you know a lot, I just learned about this news." ”

Li Huai kicked his nose and climbed up the ladder: "This is a must, I always want to contribute more to the family, and Wuling City is the family's sworn enemy, so I naturally pay more attention." As long as it is related to the family, I am willing to give everything. ”

Li Huai puffed up his chest, as if he was in the midst of swords and swords on the battlefield, and would never turn back no matter what danger he faced.

"Very good, very good, there are not many people like you who can think about the family. Ling Ce smiled maliciously, and at the same time glanced at his eldest son Ling Hua who was standing beside him: "Since this is the case, then please trouble you and dedicate more to the family." ”

Li Huai's heart was surging, and he was extremely excited, this was the first time that Ling Ce, the head of the family, would ask him to do more for the family. It seems that his spring has finally arrived.

Hu Bao was chatting with Ling Yun about some things in Xiaqiu Country in recent decades, and the two chatted very speculatively. And Gu Fengyun was also thinking about what time to interrogate Long Yunzhou, what was the relationship between him and his uncle, who had disappeared for decades.

At this moment, a demon wolf mercenary walked into the guest room hall quickly, bowed down and saluted Hu Leopard: "Master, a group of people have come outside, and the leader is Ling Hua, the eldest son of the Ling family, asking to see the master." ”

"Ling Hua?" Hu Leopard's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer: "What is he doing here? ”

"I don't know, he said that he would apologize to his master in person. The mercenary clenched his fists and retreated.

In Hu Leopard's house, there are only mercenaries except for servants. These people acted as both guardians and retainers, guarding the leopards in peacetime and rushing to kill the enemy in wartime. So he usually speaks cleanly and neatly, so neatly that onlookers are surprised.

Liu Qing frowned: "This Ling Hua is a general like Brother Hu, and he is in control of all the mercenary troops of the Ling family." Did he come here because he knew I was coming, so he deliberately came to make trouble?"

Hu Leopard snorted coldly: "He dared, he fought with me three times, and each time I was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth." If it weren't for his identity, I would have killed him a long time ago. ”

Hu Bao stood up violently and nodded at Liu Qing: "Let's go, let's go and see, what tricks this bastard is playing." ”

When the group followed the leopard to the gate of Hufu, they saw a thin man standing there delicately in front of the two wolf statues. He was dressed in a long robe, dressed casually, with his black hair draped over his shoulders, a hooked nose, and the light from his eyes always made people think that he had bad intentions.

He was followed by a team of people, each with sharp blades hanging from their waists, with round waists and thick shoulders, and the physique of the demon wolf mercenaries in front of Hufu's gate, all of them were strong and capable.

Seeing Hu Bao appear, Ling Hua, the eldest son of the Ling family and the general of the Imperial Forest of Xiaqiu Kingdom, laughed and clasped his fists with both hands: "Brother Hu's demeanor is still the same, don't come unharmed." ”

Hu Leopard squinted at him, and snorted heavily from his nostrils: "Ling eldest prince came to the door, and there were so many people, don't you want to fight with Hu again?"

Ling Hua's face turned red, and his fists were clenched together. His defeat to Hu Bao was a great shame in his life, and he usually hated others to mention it the most. Now that Hu Leopard is talking about it in public, his heart is as furious as a volcanic eruption, and he always feels that the people around him are secretly laughing at him.

He secretly suppressed the anger in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be kind: "Brother Hu, don't misunderstand, how can I be Brother Hu's opponent, don't mention this matter again." ”

"Then what are you doing here? I don't have any food at home for idlers. Hu Bao didn't even look at Ling Hua with his eyes, and his attitude was arrogant like treating a beggar.

Ling Hua scolded Hu Leopard in his heart, and secretly said that one day he wants you to look good. But his face became more and more kind: "Brother Hu, today my brother-in-law Li Huai was on duty at the city gate and accidentally collided with Brother Hu." After going back, my father was very angry, Brother Hu and our Ling family are world friends, how can we be contemptuous. So my father asked me to bring Li Huai to Brother Hu at my disposal. ”

Ling Hua grimaced and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, two strong men came over with Li Huai, who was about the same as a dead dog, and they threw Li Huai to the ground and stood on both sides with crossed hands.

"Li Huai, this dog thing, dared to rush into Brother Hu. Brother Hu, if you want to fight or kill, it's all on orders, and our Ling family will hand him over to you for disposal. Ling Hua looked at Li Huai hatefully and spat angrily.

Li Huai trembled, he couldn't have imagined that he didn't soar, but was pulled to be slaughtered like a dog. Is this what Ling Ce said, let him contribute a little more? Grandma's life has been contributed? I knew that it was better to be a gangster on the street.

Ling Hua secretly looked at Hu Bao out of the corner of his eyes, thinking to himself, I will see how you take it.

Hu Leopard was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Liu Qing, but he couldn't think of what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ling family.

Hu Leopard snorted coldly and kicked Li Huai's body: "This kind of dog thing, kill him and dirty my hands." The wound on his face is a lesson I taught him, if it's okay, pull him out of here, don't dirty my place. ”

Li Huai was about to jump up with joy, he didn't expect that he would escape his life like this.

Ling Hua laughed, with a look of admiration: "Brother Hu is really Gao Yi, and he even let go of this kind of dog minion, which makes a certain admire." This doesn't bother, Ling said goodbye, and at the same time conveyed his apologies to Brother Hu on behalf of his father. ”

Ling Hua turned around and smiled at Liu Qing: "Lord Liucheng, my father heard that you came to the capital." If you are free, please come and sit in my Lingfu. ”

With a cold smile, he turned around and left with his family.

"This dog thing, I don't know what bad idea to fight in my heart. Hu Bao and Liu Qing looked at his back, and at the same time felt a chill on his back.

The Ling family, I'm afraid they are going to start calculating them.
