054, Hou Gang's return (above)
Ji Gu also understood what was going on, and scolded: "What kind of truth is this? Go out and ask someone to see your home, and when you come back, the home will be his? Liang Jineng, do you know what you're talking about?"
Taiyi also said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jineng, what do you mean is that the city lord of Lechang wants to harm Hou Gang and seek to seize the position of the canonized prince of the Son of Heaven. You got the news, so you came to remind Hou Gang?"
Liang Ji Neng said noncommittally: "Hou Gang, in short, you can't continue to move forward, and it is impossible for you to return to the ancestral land of the clan safely, let alone openly appear in the city, otherwise you will be killed." Come with me to Lianghuachuan, I can protect your life without worry, and I can pass on your immortal family's magic method, just leave a book, and I will send someone to the Hougang clan. ”
Huwa frowned and said: "Hou Lechang didn't dare to openly murder Hou Gang, so to prevent him from returning to his ancestral land, and even more so to prevent him from entering Yuncheng and showing his face openly, it is the best way to send someone to assassinate him." But this kind of thing must not be known to others, and it is impossible to send a large group of people, so you can only invite a few masters to come.
We walked along the banks of the great river without concealing our whereabouts, nor did we rush to the road, and it is estimated that the news had already been spread. Mr. Jineng, you deliberately waited at the market, I knew that Hou Gang would pass by here, and I wanted to choose a good place to start. If my guess is correct, you're the assassin invited by the Lord of Lechang, right?"
Liang Ji Neng glanced at the tiger baby, and said sharply: "I'm talking to your master, what kind of clever trick are you kidding? Take your life is only between the raise of your hand, if you don't live too long, just shut up and stand aside." ”
Hou Gang hurriedly turned sideways and apologized to Huwa: "Because of me, this person is rude, please don't mind!"
This move made Liang Ji Neng stunned, he really didn't take the tiger baby seriously, in his eyes, it might be a little difficult to clean up, but it was not a big trouble, if he didn't want to persuade Hou Gang to leave with him with peace of mind, idle people like Taiyi and Huwa would be easily eliminated.
Hou Gang turned to Liang Jineng and said, "I not only remembered who you were, but also remembered more past events in the clan. Twenty years ago, you were injured in distress and passed out on the side of the road, and it was Lechang who passed by who saved your life. Lechang has a life-saving grace for you, and you have sworn that he can ask you to do something if he has something.
You weren't just reminding me, you were threatening me. If I ignore your advice and don't listen to your advice, what will Mr. Zineng do, will he turn his face and do it on the spot?"
Taiyi said unhurriedly: "This Jineng Immortal Elder shouldn't want to kill anyone, otherwise he would have sneaked up close and could have made a sneak attack, but after hesitating, he didn't make a move, but came out to speak, it should be to leave you a glimmer of life." ”
The corners of Liang Jineng's eyes twitched a little, he didn't expect that his actions that had just sneaked up had already been noticed by the other party, the housekeeper should not have this ability, but he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, maybe he was discovered by the guards.
Huwa said to Hou Gang again: "This Mr. Jineng should have been entrusted by Lechang to come to assassinate him." But he doesn't want to kill people, he is very smart to leave a way for you to survive and a way to retreat for yourself. Assassinating the head of the Hou Gang clan on the way back is a capital crime if it is found out, and it will also involve the sect and the clan.
So he had an idea, revealed the identity of the Lianghuachuan Immortal Chief, and told Hou Gang Daoyou that this trip would definitely suffer, so it was better to go to Lianghuachuan with him to practice the secret method of the Immortal Family. This position of the head of the monarch, since Lechang wants it, he asked him to give it to Lechang. As long as Lechang is still there, Hougang Daoyou will not want to leave Lianghuachuan. ”
Hou Gang stared at Liang Jineng's eyes, who had not spoken, and said, "Liang Jineng, is this the case? What would you do if I rejected your offer?"
Liang Jineng actually didn't explain anything, but the inside story of his coming here was told by the few people in front of him, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Hou Gang, you and your subordinates are very smart, but smart people should know the current affairs and know what to do! But I want to leave you a way to live and retreat, and only with good thoughts will you show up.
Now that the situation is up to you, even if you don't want to go with me, I will take you back to Lianghuachuan and send someone to pass on the message to the Hougang clan. Will you come with me by yourself, or will I let me take you with me?"
Hou Gang's face sank and said: "In the territory of the Hou Gang clan, you threatened with your life and tried to kidnap the head of the Hou Gang clan, do you know what the crime is? Since you didn't kill me directly, I will leave you alive for the time being...... Take it!"
Before the words fell, Taiyi started. Liang Ji Neng was just muttering just now, and at this moment he noticed that Hou Gang's tone was not good, he had already sacrificed a magic weapon like a long spike, which was the artifact he had obtained in the sect, but before he could make other moves, he suddenly felt that the world was dark and he didn't know where he was, just wanted to struggle, the invisible mana attacked, and his divine power had been sealed, and even the artifact didn't know where it was lost.
The original body has a life span of 8,000 years, and Taiyi, who has been cultivating for 800 years since he opened his spiritual wisdom, is much higher than Liang Ji Neng, whether it is the cultivation realm or the magic power, and he suddenly made a sneak attack, and he directly collected Liang Ji Neng by sacrificing the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.
The usual appearance of the Great Dao Treasure Vase is a thin mouth bottle slightly larger than a palm, and after receiving Liang Jineng, Taiyi still held it in his hand and shook it deliberately. This moment carried the mana that urged the artifact, and Liang Jineng, who was trapped in the artifact space, turned over many times, and even his internal organs were almost shaken out.
Huwa looked at Hou Gang and said: "That brother of yours is really enthusiastic, I heard that you are going to return to your hometown and be crowned as a prince, and you actually sent a Dacheng monk to intercept and kill you halfway." And that Liangji can be worthy of having a great cultivation, his head is not stupid, and he came up with a better idea, either to scare you away, or to deceive you, or to kidnap you, in short, let you worship him as a teacher, and take you to Lianghua River to cultivate, it will be solved without any trouble. ”
Taiyi sighed: "Mr. Cangjie is still here, where did they get so daring?"
Hou Gang sighed: "It's not them, it's him, his selfish desires are inflated, so he will secretly plan such a thing." As for what is the situation of my master, others do not know, only that he has ascended to heaven or has passed away. ”
Ji also sighed: "Alas, this kind of thing in the world has been seen a lot!" If Huwa or Taiyi sighed, there would be no sense of disobedience. But this little demon is also emitting such feelings now, and it seems that he is also unconsciously imitating the style of the immortal master.
Hou Gang looked in the direction of Yuncheng and said: "It's just the position of the head of the king, I don't care, but I care about my people, how can I let the conspiracy of people like Lechang succeed." Since he is so enthusiastic, we can't live up to it, take Liangji to find him directly in Yuncheng, I, as the head of the monarch, will practice the family law this time. ”
Hou Gang is not an incompetent person, whether he has cultivation or not, he has even done Ba Guoxuezheng, how can he not be able to deal with a small city lord, not to mention that he is still the head of the clan. In fact, as long as he enters the city and makes a public appearance, Lechang will not be able to do it, and he has no intention of going around in any circle, dealing with such a conspiracy, with his status and status, just pick it out directly.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone rested in the mountains for the night, and the next morning they walked out of the mountains and forests to continue their journey. Hou Gang no longer has supernatural powers, so everyone is not walking fast, no different from other pedestrians. In fact, there is nothing unusual about the way they came along the big river, so Liang Jineng, who rushed to do it after getting the news, made a mistake in judgment.
Walking on the road, the little demon muttered again: "Lord Hou Gang, fortunately we came back with you." If you're alone, if you can't get it, you'll be taken away by that Liang Ji Neng. ”
Hou Gang just smiled and didn't say anything. The tiger baby said to him: "The calamity is the calamity, this is the cultivation, the path to heaven is not only the cultivation of the secret method, but also the world experienced." If Hou Gang is alone, he can directly reveal his identity in another city, and ask the city lord to send chariots, horses, and military formations to escort him. ”
He muttered and said, "When we parted from Emperor Danzhu, Lord Bo Yi said that there might be trouble on this trip, is this what you mean?"
Hou Gang shook his head and said: "Just Lechang and Jineng, in the eyes of Lord Boyi, what kind of tricky troubles can be counted, if you can't even handle these things, then I don't have to come back to be the head of this monarch, Lord Boyi should mean something else." ”
After walking more than 20 miles, I saw a city outline in front of me. In the era of the Qingdi lineage, there was a city here. Five hundred years ago, the Yanhuang dispute and the war between Xuanyuan and Chiyou destroyed most of this city, and now it has been rebuilt, and its scale is comparable to Yeliang City in Bayuan, but the population in the territory of the city is more than half of Yeliang City.
It is difficult to verify the ancient times, but since Xuanyuan defeated Chi You, the territory of the Hou Gang clan is in this area. Similar to the situation in Ba Yuan, although the city lord was appointed by the Son of Heaven, the selection targets were often from the largest local tribal forces, so in the past four hundred years, the successive city lords of Yuncheng were all born in the Hou Gang clan.
If the Son of Heaven wanted to appoint whoever was the lord of the city, he had to seek the opinion of the head of the Hougang clan, and the most suitable person would be selected from among the clans. Lechang served as the lord of the city twenty years ago, and now he is nearly fifty years old, while Hou Gang is only twenty-eight years old. If Hou Gang returns, Le Chang will not only lose the authority to take charge of the affairs of the tribe, but if Hou Gang has other ideas, he will not even be able to keep the position of city lord.
The lord is just a title with no real position, and only enjoys a noble position in the clan, while the lord of the city really controls the civil, military, and financial power of a city. Although the title of Bojun is usually much higher than that of the city lord, the young Hou Gang can also serve as the city lord himself, and Lechang is more worried about this kind of thing.
So Lechang's thoughts are also understandable, since he can invite a master like Liang Jineng, it is better to solve Hou Gang halfway, so that not only can he keep the position of the city lord, but he can even become the prince canonized by the Son of Heaven. It's a pity that Hou Gang is not so easy to deal with, Liang Ji can be captured by mistake, and Hou Gang has already arrived in front of the city gate. (To be continued.) )
