Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Task of the Jiangnan Flower Family
During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot.
A light rain trickled down the lake, creating a light mist. The emerald green lotus canopy in the fog is half-hidden and half-hidden, intersecting with the misty mountains in the distance.
A row of bamboos, gliding on the mirror-like West Lake.
The slanting wind and drizzle knocked on the oil-paper umbrella, and under the umbrella stood a slender woman in white, with black hair reaching to her waist, tied into a bundle with a ribbon on her back, so that the black hair would not be scattered.
Dressed simply, clean and plain, the woman in white seems to be perfectly integrated into this natural ink painting.
"Since going down the mountain for three years, the saintess has experienced the red dust, but she has become more and more unstained with the smell of fireworks, congratulations to the saint, she will soon be tempered with a flawless sword heart!"
The old woman on the side looked at the woman in white who should not belong to the world, and admired it sincerely.
She didn't have an umbrella, but the drizzle fell on her and slid all the way to her feet, and she didn't get a single hair wet.
The girl in white smiled lightly, compared the Jiangnan smoke and rain behind her, and said in a sweet voice: "Aunt Cui doesn't want to laugh at the shadow again, compared with the predecessors of the Yuezong, the shadow is still too far behind." ”
The old woman sighed, the one in front of her was recognized as a peerless genius by the Moon Sect, with outstanding talent, and was known as the most promising disciple of the Cihang Pudu Sword Sutra in the past five hundred years.
After three years of practicing the rivers and lakes, there was no resistance among his peers, and he overwhelmed the younger generation of southern martial arts with a sword, and was listed as the third in the phoenix list by Da Zhou Jinyiwei.
One thing to know, the dragon and phoenix are on the double list, and there are only 25 people on each list, a huge river and lake, which one of the famous people on the list is not a masterpiece in the world?
In the eyes of many people, the reason why the Holy Maiden of the Moon Sect is the third is purely because she has suffered a loss of age.
Looking at the holy woman, the old woman smiled happily: "For this incident, can the holy woman have confidence?" ”
The saint said: "Once the Shenzhou Sword Alliance withdrew from Yuhang Mansion, if the Demon Gate is allowed to sit big, it will endanger the martial arts." My Sun and Moon Twin Sect is the closest to Lin'an City, and it is the responsibility of Ying'er to resist the heavy responsibility of the Demon Gate. ”
The old woman praised: "Good! With the martial arts and talents of the saintess, it is easy to sweep away the clowns of the demon gate. However, what the old body is really worried about is the matter of the Hua family. ”
The saint smiled lightly and did not speak again.
On the shore of West Lake in the distance, there is a restaurant, a down-and-out scholar is drunk, splashing ink, a picture of a woman swimming in the West Lake, slowly from his pen to the shape......
Inside a deep mansion compound.
The clowns of the demon gate in the old woman's mouth are having a regular meeting every three days.
Xiao Sheng had just returned from the Tianhuo rudder, and said with a red light on his face: "For the matter of Izumo Tower, the helmsman is extremely satisfied, and he even praised the altar master in front of his subordinates for handling it properly, but he is worthy of a great responsibility, and he has lived up to her expectations." ”
Qin Peng asked, "What about the reward?" ”
Xiao Sheng: "......"
Qin Peng sneered. Maybe in the eyes of this dead fat man, it is already the highest honor to be appreciated by the helmsman, but in Qin Peng's eyes, the verbal praise is just a bunch of.
Hu Yinyin, who was on the side, glanced at Xiao Sheng, stepped forward and said, "Altar master, I'm afraid that Lin'an City has been a little unpeaceful recently." According to the investigation of his subordinates, three days ago, the Dingzhen Shitai of the Emei faction in Sichuan entered Lin'an City with his disciples and grandchildren.
Last night, the high-level of the Rizong also arrived, including the Holy Son of the Rizong, who has recently become famous.
Just this morning, on the West Lake, there were even people in the rivers and lakes who claimed to have seen the Holy Maiden of the Moon Sect. The sun and moon have always advanced and retreated together, and the altar master must be on guard. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked solemn, and their hearts sank.
The top sects in the world, due to their different distributions, control different territories. Originally, on the bright side, Lin'an City has always been the meal on the plate of the Shenzhou Sword Alliance.
This time, the Shenzhou Sword Alliance suffered a comprehensive attack from the Demon Gate, not only in Yuhang Mansion, but also in other territories, otherwise the Shenzhou Sword Alliance would have fought back long ago.
This also made the world's rivers and lakes feel the magic power again. Whether it is out of so-called justice or selfishness, of course, it is impossible for the righteous path to watch the demon gate sit big.
And the Sun and Moon Shuangzong, which is also located in the south, benefited from the geographical convenience, and took the brunt of the Yuhang Mansion to take the brunt.
This action revealed the meaning of the bad comer.
At this moment, Qin Peng's expression changed slightly, because he found that the virtual panel in front of him had changed.
Mission: Step by Step (Long Term)
Short-term Mission: Obtain the funding of the richest man in Jiangnan, the Hua family, and open up the wealth of the Demon Gate (reward experience value 5000)
Experience Points: 6
Soul Breaker: 8/500 (Level 3)
Joyoung Wuji Gong: 0/15000 (Level 3)
Nine Swords of the Imperial Road: 0/3000 (Level 3)
A short-term mission appears on the virtual panel with a reward. In Qin Peng's design before the crossing, Goldfinger did not contain this content.
This is probably the result of the world's own evolution, and I don't know what will happen in the future.
Interestingly, this short-term task is not mandatory, that is, Qin Peng is free to choose whether to accept it or not.
A bright light flashed in his mind, and Qin Peng ordered: "Hu Yinyin, you go and investigate the Jiangnan Hua family to see if you have any contact with people in the rivers and lakes recently." ”
Although she was puzzled, Hu Yinyin still nodded yes.
Waiting for everyone to retreat, Qin Peng sighed.
Recently, he has been practicing martial arts hard, and it turns out that his progress is extremely slow. The talent of this body is really pitiful, if he didn't rely on experience points, he wouldn't even be able to get through the second pulse of the governor in his life.
"The storm is coming."
The results of the investigation were not long in coming.
The Sichuan Emei faction, as well as the Sun and Moon Twin Sects, all entered the Hua family in a grand manner and became the guests of the Hua family.
Xiao Sheng explained: "The altar owner doesn't know that there are some traditions in the rivers and lakes. Some local businessmen are wealthy, because they are afraid of enemy retaliation or attracting robbers to covet them, and they often look for backers on the rivers and lakes.
As long as the favorite sect is willing to be a backer, it will send a notice to the rivers and lakes, so that friends on the rivers and lakes will not disturb the rich businessman's family.
If someone doesn't give face, then it will attract the attack of this sect!
The Jiangnan Hua family is well-deserved as the richest man in Jiangnan, and their backer in the rivers and lakes before was the Shenzhou Sword Alliance. Now that the Shenzhou Sword Alliance has withdrawn from Yuhang Mansion, the Hua family naturally wants to find a backer again. ”
Hu Yinyin sneered: "It seems that too much money is not a good thing." ”
And Qin Peng also understood, and after a long time, the system asked him to rob customers with the Emei faction and the Sun and Moon Sect? Don't you think too much of him?
But this time, Qin Peng was really reluctant to reward 5,000 experience points.
After thinking about it, he felt that there was not much hope anyway, so it was better to give it a try, just play it, and let Hu Yinyin hand over the information of the Hua family.
Looking at the information carefully, it turned out that ten years ago, the old lady of the Hua family, who single-handedly led the rise of the Hua family, had retreated into the background and handed over the business to his seven sons.
According to the descendants of the Hua family, three days ago, the eldest and fifth of the Hua family personally received the Emei faction.
The second, third and fourth elders of the Hua family regarded the Sun and Moon Sect as guests.
The remaining sixth and seventh children have the shallowest foundation and the youngest, and they don't have the weight to invite other famous and decent families. It is estimated that people from decent families don't look down on these two, and they don't have a chance to compete with others.
