In Arctic City, there are two corpses on the main hall of Beitang's house, it is the two brothers Beitangli and Beitangyao, on the surface, both of them are quite miserable, their facial features have been distorted, and the bones of their bodies have been broken I don't know how many, their clothes are broken, and even the inner armor has been shattered.

An old man let out a long sigh after carefully examining the bodies of the two, but at this time, Mrs. Beitang, who was sitting above and crying silently, suddenly looked over, her eyes were full of coldness, and said, "Elder Dun, do you see it, how did my son die!" ”

Beitang Dun closed his eyes and said slowly: "The two princes were killed, but before they were killed, they were killing each other, and the person who killed them was the one who did it after both of them had done their best, which can be seen from the fact that the two princes did not resist, except for the fatal sword in the neck, the rest of the injuries were all caused by each other. ”

When Mrs. Beitang heard this, her eyes burned with raging anger, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Who killed my son, no matter who it is, the old body will want him to die a good death!" ”

Shan Huanting, who was standing on the side and crying, couldn't help but shake her body, and involuntarily glanced at Beitang Yulin, who was standing quietly below, and then, Mrs. Beitang's eyes also looked over, and asked: "Beitang Yulin, you were the first to bring people to the scene, tell me, what did you see." ”

Beitang Yulin stood up in a little panic when he heard this, and said: "Back to the master, my grandson also heard the loud noise there before he led people over, and when we arrived, we saw more than a dozen black-clothed masked people killing people, but at first, we didn't pay much attention to it, and just rushed over, wanting to take those people down for interrogation." ”

"However, when we rushed over, we were surprised to see the bodies of the two cousins lying on the ground, and I immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered those people to be arrested. Immediately fled, our people were also poisoned in the process of pursuit, and did not chase people, so their identities are unknown. ”

After listening to Beitang Yulin's statement, Mrs. Beitang couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Are you all a bunch of rice buckets, you saw people but didn't catch any of them, what a bunch of waste, what's the use of my Beitang family raising you?" ”

Beitang Yulin immediately knelt down when he heard this, and said, "Yulin is incompetent, please punish the master!" ”

At this time, Mrs. Beitang's eyes were a little red, but Beitang Dun on the side narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Beitang Yulin, and asked lightly: "Yulin, let me ask you, just now you said that when you arrived, you saw more than a dozen people in black killing people, right?" ”

Beitang Yulin nodded and said, "That's true." ”

"That means that there are other people at the scene besides the two princes?" Beitang asked.

"Yes, in addition to the two cousins, there are many corpses, it is estimated that there are thousands, some are men in black, some are family members, but it is certain that they are all martial artists!"

Beitang nodded and continued to ask, "When you arrive, there should still be living people in the field, right?" ”

"Yes, we found twelve family members and nine men in black, but some of them died of their injuries, and now only four family members and two men in black are still alive, and I have ordered the infirmary to take care of them."

When Beitang Dun heard this, he snorted and said, "You have done a good job, what level of martial artists are those black-clothed masked people, can you be sure?" ”

Beitang Yulin shook his head and didn't speak, Beitang Dun thought about it and continued to ask, "Do you have a search scene?" ”

Beitang Yulin said: "After searching, in addition to some ordinary items, we found a warehouse in it, which stored a large number of cultivation materials, and also found very unusual information in the secret compartment of a secret room. ”

Without waiting for Beitang Dun to ask, Beitang Yulin took out several scrolls and handed them over, Beitang Dun's eyes flashed, he took the scroll and looked at it, at this time, everyone's eyes converged on him.

Soon, Beitang Dun looked at all the scrolls, his face was extremely gloomy, but he didn't speak, he glanced up at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Except for the elders, the master mother, and Beitang Yulin, everyone else will retreat, and in addition, bury the bodies of the two princes!" ”

Soon, the bodies of the two brothers were carried down, and Mrs. Beitang looked at her son's corpse with reluctance, but she didn't say anything, because her eyes were more hatred, and after everything was in order, Beitang Atsushi passed the scroll in his hand to everyone.

A quarter of an hour later, after everyone finished reading, at this time, Mrs. Beitang's face was gloomy and terrifying, but she didn't speak, and a white-haired old man spoke: "Hey, I never expected that the two princes actually established their own forces, and they have developed to such an extent, this is not a bad thing, but they are used to deal with each other, this..." ”

"What I didn't expect was that the two princes were so careless, and they were actually mixed up by the spies of Linghua Sect and Shangyuan Sect, which directly led to the final tragedy of the two, and now our Beitang family is in a big crisis." Another elder spoke.

Beitang Dun frowned, looked at the elder, and said lightly: "Elder Su is probably making a big fuss, why is my Beitang family in a big crisis?" ”

When Mrs. Beitang heard this, her face was obviously gloomy a little, but Beitang Yulin, who was bowing her head on the side, was slightly hooked at the corner of her mouth, and said in her heart: "Hehe, some of the ingredients I added to you in those scrolls have already worked, and those few people, after you interrogate, I'm afraid you will be convinced, hehe, Ling Hua Sect, Shang Yuan Sect, it's really a good backbiter, hehe." ”

At this time, Beitang Su sneered and said: "Hmph, make a big fuss, think about it, now our Beitang family can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader, there were still two sons before, just wait for the old family master's mourning period to pass, you can carry out the succession ceremony, and the whole family can make a smooth transition, but now, the two descendants are dead, so what will happen next, it must be a big battle for the concubine, in this way, my Beitang family may fall into a period of civil strife, and at this time, Ling Huazong is attacking outside, The Shangyuan Sect is making trouble, isn't our Beitang family still in crisis? ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and after a while, Beitang Dun said in a deep voice: "Elder Su's words are reasonable, but whether the death of the two princes is really the work of the Linghua Sect and the Shangyuan Sect, we can't say for sure, after all, ••••••"

At this time, Mrs. Beitang directly interrupted his words and said, "I can't conclude yet, hmph, Beitang Dun, what are you thinking in your head, currently in my Northern Regions, in addition to these two forces, which other force has this motive and the strength to murder my two sons?" The old body is absolutely sure that it is these two forces, and my Beitang family is not with them! ”

Beitang Dun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, at this time, Beitang Su spoke: "The so-called country can't be without a king for a day, and a family can't be without an owner for a day, we must determine the candidate for the next head of the family, otherwise, my Beitang family will inevitably be chaotic." ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received the support of many elders, and a middle-aged woman spoke: "At present, there are three candidates for the family to be the heir, and the head of the family should be able to produce among them. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, but some people objected, and a man who looked to be in his fifties stood up and said: "Everyone, the head of the family will have a great impact on our entire family, it can be said that he will lead the entire family in the next few hundred or even thousands of years, and the remaining three candidate sons, think about it, do they have this ability?" ”

This person is the grandfather of Beitang Yulin, Beitang Bi, who controls one-third of the financial power of the entire Beitang family, his words can be said to be very weighty, everyone fell silent when they heard the words, indeed, the ability of these three candidates is not enough to be the head of the family, but how can his mind be hidden from these old foxes present.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Beitang Bi was about to say something, but at this time, Mrs. Beitang spoke: "What are you all anxious about, the old body is not dead yet!" Speaking of this, she sneered, glanced at everyone, and continued: "I know, you all have your own thoughts, but you should also know that no matter who you choose, as long as the old body does not nod, he will not want to sit smoothly as the head of the family!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, everyone's faces were not good-looking, Mrs. Beitang's status in the Beitang family was very special, and she also held a considerable part of the strength and power of the Beitang family in her hands, as long as he didn't agree, no matter who it was, the position of the head of the family would not want to sit firmly.

At this time, I heard Mrs. Beitang speak: "You are all right, my Beitang family can't be without a master for a day, and it's not impossible to support him with an old body, as long as you meet my requirements." ”

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes over, and Mrs. Beitang's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and said: "Among the juniors of the entire Beitang family, no matter who it is, no matter what means he uses, as long as he can kill a hundred inner disciples of the Linghua Sect and the Shangyuan Sect, thirty deacons, stewards or zhanggu, and ten elders to avenge my son!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, this request is not ordinarily high, however, when Beitang Yulin on the side heard this request, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

••••••

Shanhaiguan, Dong Lingfan led all the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect to withdraw, and suddenly, this section of the city wall was occupied by the Wenqu camp, Meng Xuan glanced at the people of the Shangyuan Sect who were gradually moving away, but did not send people to chase them, but divided the troops in two and attacked the left and right sides.

Cheng Pu, who was defending on the other side, couldn't help but scold when he saw the fleeing Shangyuan Sect, however, his scolding had the opposite effect, and he was already defending extremely difficult in this section, but when the soldiers learned the information that someone had escaped, they suddenly had no will to fight, and some soldiers even began to find a way to escape.

Cheng Pu's eyes were about to crack when he saw this, and he raised his knife to cut off the two soldiers who were about to escape, and shouted: "The soldiers are going to die on the battlefield, all of them will be charged to me, if anyone dares to run away again, Lao Tzu will be the first to hack him to death!" ”

His leopard-headed appearance really frightened many soldiers, and for a while, no one dared to run away, but they didn't immediately rush up to fight Ling Huajun, but hesitated in place.

Cheng Pu was about to go crazy, however, at this time, Ling Huajun stopped attacking, and a light laugh came from it: "Hehe, everyone, I know that you are all forcibly recruited, and I, Ling Huajun, am not a killer, now we will stop attacking, let you leave, and promise, as long as you don't go against us, then we won't go to you for trouble, okay?" ”

Hearing this, these soldiers immediately moved, but they were a little afraid to move because of the prestige that Cheng Pu had established in the army on weekdays, but Cheng Pu was glared at and shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense, if they finish solving all the things here, then the next thing to be solved is your family or sect, and when the time comes, you won't be able to run!" ”

At this moment, there was a loud bang at the city gate, needless to say, the city gate must have been breached, and it won't be long before a large number of Ling Hua's troops will pour in, and at that time there will be no chance to escape, at this time, everyone's hearts began to panic.

The voice in Ling Huajun continued to laugh and said: "Everyone, your time is running out, I don't want to say more, anyway, when the time comes, those who are still present will be regarded as enemies and killed, as for this ring-eyed thief, hehe, I will help you solve it." ”

When the words fell, a white shadow flashed in Linghua's army, Cheng Pu's eyes were cold, and raising the knife was a block, when there was a metal impact, Cheng Pu actually took more than ten steps back, and the white shadow also showed his figure, this person turned out to be Gao Yu, without a word, Gao Yu's figure flashed and continued to attack Cheng Pu, but after a few fights, Cheng Pu had been forced into the air, and he couldn't control those soldiers at all.

At this scene, the soldiers of the Yeyue Army were a little stunned, and at this time, another voice sounded in the Ling Hua Army: "If you don't leave now, when will you stay, do you really want to die!" ”

All the soldiers of the Yeyue Army trembled when they heard this, they threw down their weapons without hesitation, turned around and ran, tens of thousands of troops, like a low tide, rushed into the distance, even if Cheng Pu roared wildly in the air, it had no effect, and soon, this situation of escape spread among the Yeyue Army, and there were more and more soldiers who fled, and later, the generals were powerless to stop it.

On the command platform, Beitang Ao and more than a dozen regular generals of the imperial court gathered together, and they stared at the many Linghua troops in front of them, although they already knew their fate, but there was no fear in their eyes, but determination.

Beitang let out a wry smile from the sky: "Haha, Fang Lin, originally I prepared a big gift for you, but you are too cunning, and blame me for being too greedy, the duck that has been cooked flies, and later, there is such a traitor as Dong Lingfan, who directly bankrupts my plan behind, hehe, this is the will of God, the will of God." ”

Fang Lin walked in front of Beitang Ao, laughed, and said: "Beitang Ao, in fact, I was ready to sacrifice 100,000 troops to lure out your means at the beginning, but who knows, you actually let my people withdraw back safely, so gracious, how can I not accept it, as for the gift behind you, hehe, we still have to be polite, we can't be greedy, don't you say?" ”

Beitang Ao couldn't hear the irony in Fang Lin's words, but he didn't care anymore, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the capital, at this moment, Fang Lin's voice came: "Everyone, I know that you are all experienced generals, and my Fang Lin is also a person who loves and cherishes talents, as long as you are willing to surrender, I guarantee that you will all be treated fairly, how about it?" ”

Beitang Ao glanced at everyone, and everyone also turned their heads to look at Beitang Ao, and smiled at each other, Beitang Ao said loudly: "We are deeply favored by the emperor and have a great trust, but unfortunately, I can be incompetent, so that I have failed, and I am already ashamed of the world, how can I do that act of betraying the lord and being ungrateful!" ”

The words fell, more than ten people raised their knives to kill themselves, all facing the Beijing Division, at this moment, there was a loud bang in the distance in the sky, and then, again, after a series of five or six loud noises, a heart-rending scream came, followed by the laughter of the elephant woman.

"Haha, I see that you are still running, do you think you can really run away, hehe, the old lady has been staring at you for a long time, hum, the great worship of the royal family, others know that you will die and be loyal to the country, but you are thinking about running away to save your life, it is really disgraceful to say it."

As he spoke, the figures of the elephant woman and the monkey won appeared beside Fang Lin, and in her hand there was a dying old man, it was Li Yi, at this time he had already lost half his life, the sea of qi was broken, his cultivation was sealed, and he had no power to resist.

••••••

In Beitang Yao's small courtyard, Beitang Yulin sat on the soft leather recliner in the hall with Shan Huanting in her arms, a seductive flush appeared on Shan Huanting's eyes and cheeks, and the two of them didn't say anything, just snuggled together quietly.

After a long while, Shan Huanting finally sobered up a little, and suddenly asked, "You killed the two brothers, right?" ”

Beitang Yulin gently scratched her nose and said, "What are you thinking, I don't have the ability to kill both of them at the same time, and I don't want them to die now, after all, they have to make trouble to benefit us, and now, I don't have time." ”

Shan Huanting heard this,. sat up straight all of a sudden, and said anxiously: "What's the matter, are you going to do something dangerous again, don't go!" ”

There was even a trace of inexplicable horror in her voice, but Beitang Yulin sighed and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to go either, but I can't go if I don't go, this is a trial for the head of the family, you know, if you don't try your best to fight for it, once the position of the head of the family is obtained by others, then, the fate of our sons will be very miserable." ”

Shan Huanting's eyes were full of reluctance, and just when she wanted to say something, Beitang Yulin continued to speak: "Do you know that just yesterday, there were already two candidates who were killed silently, and we don't know who the perpetrator is. ”

When Shan Huanting heard this, the worry in her eyes became more and more intense, and her voice trembled a little: "Then, isn't it okay to withdraw from the competition?" ”

Beitang Yulin shook his head and said: "I'm already on their blacklist, even if I quit now, they won't come to target me for the time being, but once the dust settles on the position of the head of the family, they won't let me go, Huanting, you are also a young lady of a big family, you should know something like this, originally if the two cousins were here, such a thing would not have happened at all, but now..." ”

Shan Huanting was silent when she heard this, and after a long time, she raised her head, but her eyes were already full of tears, and she said astringently: "You go, be careful, I will always wait for you to come back." Beitang Yulin didn't say anything more when he heard this, and took her hand and walked slowly towards the second floor.

The next day, in the most luxurious private room of the largest restaurant in Arctic City, six men who looked no more than thirty years old sat in it, these six people were all richly dressed and extraordinary, they were the six sons of the current Beitang family competing for the position of the head of the family, the death of the two brothers of Beitang Yao gave them a great opportunity, at this time, they looked at each other with a strong defense in their eyes.

At this time, one of the men spoke: "Brothers, what is the matter with you saying that Beitang Yulin invited us all. ”

"Haha, Yuqing, don't you understand such an obvious thing, he is going to give us a dismount or something, so that we don't fight with him for the position of the head of the family." Another young man laughed, with a slight sarcasm in his tone.

Another young man frowned and said: "Yuheng, let's not be careless, this Beitang Yulin looks like a gentleman, but he was the first to find the scene of the battle between the two cousins, and he also brought back the live mouth, and it is said that there are some very important information, so this person is definitely not simple, so we must not be careless." ”

"Haha, Yu Qi, are you thinking a little too much, this is Arctic City, this is Yuzhen Tower, does he dare to do anything to us here, hehe, even if he wants to do something, with the strength of the six of us, he can only endure it, if he is really worried about what he has a conspiracy, it is a big deal that we will ignore any plan he proposes, are you right." A man in a golden robe laughed.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and looked at the other two people who had not spoken, and when they saw the four people, both of them also nodded, and one of them said: "Yu Jue said well." ”

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter outside, and then, Beitang Yulin walked in alone, smiled and saluted everyone, after a greeting, the dishes had been served, everyone was seated, Beitang Yulin was not verbose, and went straight to the topic: "Presumably all the brothers have already guessed, the younger brother will invite everyone here today, and the purpose is to be the head of the family." ”

Beitang Yuheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "How about it, I'm not wrong, haha, okay Yulin, let's talk about it, do you want to sit in the position of the head of the family, and you are going to come today to tell us not to fight with you, right?" ”

When everyone heard this, they also looked at Beitang Yulin and didn't speak, seeing this situation, Beitang Yulin smiled faintly and said: "That's true, but I'm not here to ask you, but to ask you, what do you use to fight with me!" ”

At this time, the grumpy Beitang Yuqing slapped the table and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Beitang Yulin, I know that your grandfather is an elder with real power, and he also has a lot of power, but so what, the elder group is not his own decision, besides, there is still a lady here, she has put forward a test, if you can't pass the test, even if we don't fight with you, you can't sit in that position!" ”

Looking at everyone's mocking eyes, Beitang Yulin was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Do you know why Mrs. Beitang set up such a test?" ”

Everyone looked at each other a little when they heard this, but Beitang Yulin didn't give them too much time, and said: "That's because she wants to avenge her son, because the two cousins were killed by the people of the Linghua Sect and the Shangyuan Sect, and she did this to ask the future head of the family to give her a guarantee that she will be enemies of these two forces in the future!" ’

"Hehe, dare to ask everyone, in the case of the family's contribution, which of you has the strength to complete this test? Even if it's barely done, which of you has the means to deal with the Linghua Sect and the Shangyuan Sect? Even if you are put in that position, who of you will be able to convince the old fellows of the Elder Congregation to interfere with your decisions by no longer whispering crookedly in your ears? Hey. With all due respect, none of you have that ability, and you will inevitably become the puppets of those old guys in the future, is that what you want? ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, but after a short while, Beitang Yuqi said unconvinced: "We can't do this, can you do it?" ”

Beitang Yulin smiled confidently and said: "I'm already doing it, I'm not afraid to tell you that on the battlefield of Shanhaiguan, my people have collected the heads of a hundred Linghua Sect disciples, and the heads of the deacon and Zhanggu have also been collected, and it won't be long before the heads of the elders will be in hand, hehe, since I have to get the heads of the Linghua Sect, will I not be able to get the heads of the Shangyuan Sect?" ”

"I didn't have to tell you so much, because you can't be as fast as me, but I don't want to wait until I become the head of the family before I come back to deal with you, after all, we are all concubines, even collateral, and our suffering is only known to us, so I hope we can join forces instead of killing each other, after all, our enemies will be very strong in the future."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, especially the sentence "all are concubines", which simply resonated with them, and after a long time, Beitang Yujue raised his head and asked: "If we all support you, then what benefits can we get?" ”

Beitang Yulin laughed and said, "I will definitely reorganize the elder group and kick out all those disobedient old guys, you know." ”

Everyone was silent again, but Beitang Yuqing was a little excited, and was about to say yes, but at this time, Beitang Yujue was the first to speak: "It is impossible for the six of us to enter the elder group." ”

Beitang Yulin nodded and said, "Of course, but I can guarantee that those who do not enter the elder group will definitely get a position as a supervisor." ”

Beitang Yujue finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he glanced at the rest of the people, everyone nodded, Beitang Yujue continued: "I want to ask more, how strong are you now?" ”

Beitang Yulin laughed and said: "Haha, I can't tell you the specifics, but I can tell you that I definitely have the ability to solve the test of Shangyuan Sect by myself, and I myself am already a cultivator of the Nai He Realm!" ”

When everyone heard this, there was a flash of light in their eyes, and Beitang Yujue picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, if what you say is true, then we support you, but if we find out that what you said is false, then we have to be sorry!" ”

Beitang Yulin laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it with everyone, at this time, Beitang Yulin had basically determined the status of the heir of his family master!
