Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The big forces in Ningcheng are concentrated in the east and south of the city, the Guo family and the Wei family in the east of the city, the Zhu family and the Wu family in the south of the city, and the Hu family's response is also very ingenious, the two strongest of the three branches, Zebai and Liqing are guarding the northeast corner and the southeast corner respectively, and the Arctic branch is located in the southwest corner.
The bazaar in the east of the city relies on the Red River that flows through Ningcheng from north to south, and there is a kind of tranquility and nature of the Jiangnan water family, and the main shops gathered here are some shops for living and some basic cultivation supplies, and the interests are relatively small, Hu Jiaji has withdrawn from this territory since Bai Xiao's first war, and is now completely managed by the Guo family and the Wei family.
The bazaar in the south of the city is very different, this is the core of the entire Ningcheng, because the entire southern city is a huge trading market, even in the entire Longhua Kingdom, it is also the number one.
Due to the existence of the Longjia Mountains, there are many adventurers, and the bazaar in Nancheng has become an important transit station, there are no auction houses in big cities, there are just all kinds of merchants who use various resources and time differences to endlessly plunder the adventurers who have worked hard to obtain all kinds of rich materials, they want centralized batch processing, fast, concise, and efficient is their love, as for profit, that is a problem that businessmen need to consider!
The genius was bright and bright, and Hu Gao, who looked tired, crossed the market and the Hongshui River from the foggy forest road in the east of the city that had fallen into disrepair, crossed the market and the Hongshui River that had not yet gotten up, and returned home, and fell asleep directly like a dead dog.
Last night, after Xiao Wu broke through to the middle of the first order, the foodie duo launched a killing battle on the periphery of Tu Mountain without international humanitarianism, and those surviving demon beasts could only sigh that sometimes it is a sin to be too good for life, and they can only get true happiness without the demon pill.
After two consecutive nights of fierce battles, even an iron warrior like Hu Gao, who spent three days and three nights in an Internet café, was a little unbearable, especially after combining Yuan Li and ** power, this kind of consumption could not be satisfied even by a pervert like him, it was completely a deep pit!
As for the fire dragon technique that has just started, it is even more terrifying, Hu Gao only needs to release it twice, and the yuan power of the entire Qi Sea can almost be squeezed dry! Hu Gao can't wait to change the name of the fire dragon technique to [Yuan Force Sea], this is completely the rhythm of smashing people with Yuan power, with his little scum in the middle of the condensation realm, where can he play.
Hu Gao quickly fell asleep under the deep meditation method, in the dream, he kept thinking about what the fat boss had said to him, he couldn't imagine what changes would happen to Ning Cheng, it wouldn't be that the Lang family would suddenly come over like this, right?
With a mind full of questions, when Hu Gao woke up, he was very hungry now, and since he had Xiao Wu, it seemed that even his stomach had become more hungry.
"Why hasn't Qinglian come over these days?" When it comes to food, Hu Gao began to miss the all-knowing and all-powerful little Lori who would bring him delicious food, and said that he should also go to the Qingzhi branch, after all, it was also the original place where he was born.
When he went out, he casually consulted with a clansman on the side of the road, and Hu Gao finally had a general idea of the distribution of Ningcheng. Speaking of which, the green branch is actually not far from here, so it should have been seen a long time ago.
However, going to the south of the city is much more crowded than the east, and there are a lot more warriors on the road, Hu Gao did not rashly probe the strength of these people, and now he already knows that there is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in Ningcheng, and he is still careful and low-key.
When we were about to get to the Liqing branch, a voice suddenly appeared in the crowd and shouted, "Hu Gao, why are you here too?"
Hu Gao looked left and right, and now he was standing in the corner of Bliss, speaking of which the Arctic branch is also in the south of the city, this guy is not strange here, but he has always been good at capturing the amount of information in other people's words, and he still heard a little surprise in Bliss's tone, especially that one is also there, which seems to indicate that Bliss is here for some unusual reason.
"What's going on?" Hu Gao took a few steps forward, keeping a subtle distance from Bliss, this guy was a quasi-hooligan as long as he leaned to the side of the street, if it weren't for his clean face, he really wanted to stay away from him.
Bliss showed a rare wry smile, thinking to himself, how could it be such a coincidence, he happened to be with Hu Gao yesterday, and as a result, this kind of thing happened, and a deep worry about the family came to his face.
"Speak. Hu Gao had a bad premonition when he saw Bliss's face, a feeling that had been haunting him since he began to contact the fat boss.
"Hu Gao, the Fifth Elder was assassinated last night. As Bliss spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, and a few tears fell sharply like rain in the corners of the eaves, "The fifth elder loved me the most before, and said that my future achievements must be above the three elder brothers......
Seeing Bliss crying on the side of the road like this, Hu Gao's heart softened suddenly, this heartless guy, although he sometimes looks annoying, but his heart is not bad, he stepped forward and grabbed Bliss's shoulder.
"I'm fine!" Bliss's face turned faster than a woman's, wiping away her tears and pushing Hu Gao away, "You better not go over, according to yesterday's guards, the assassin may have come from your Liqing lineage, and now the dark warriors are investigating this matter."
Hu Gao's face changed, the family chaos, the curse Xiao Wall's words instantly jumped into his mind, there must be some conspiracy here, "No, Bliss! I have to go!"
If there is anything else that can stop the civil strife of the Hu family at this time, it is his identity as the inheritor, at this time, it is not suitable for him to stay aside and watch the play, and he is also more worried about Qinglian's safety, this little cutie who has not yet condensed the totem should not be involved in this conspiracy.
"Okay. Bliss reluctantly followed, thinking to himself why it was so coincidental that it was last night? I happened to be with Hu Gao at that time, no! Hu Gao was missing at that time, and I was eating with other people!
Even if Hu Gao was a person who had left Qing, with his current strength, he was not qualified to participate in the assassination of the Five Elders, and it was in an extremely tightly guarded place like the sect.
"Bliss, are the Fifth Elders from your Arctic lineage?" Hu Gao still wanted to confirm this.
Bliss came back to his senses, and his mind was all about the situation at the dinner last night, "Well, the five elders are the pillars of our Arctic lineage, except for a few family masters, his cultivation is the highest in the Council of Elders, and according to the death clues provided by the dark man, the possibility of multiple people besieging is basically ruled out, so the target of the suspect is actually very limited." ”
Hu Gao nodded, "So the focus of suspicion now is Elder Pheasant?" At the same time, the imagination of an old naughty boy appeared in his mind, yes, it wouldn't be strange for such a person to do anything.
Bliss was shocked by Hu Gao's quick reflexes, and before he could speak, Hu Gao said to himself, "But there are two questions in front of you now, first, why did you leave an obvious clue about leaving a lineage, and second, what is the purpose of doing this?"
"Hu Gao, it is said that people who have lost their memories are most likely to open up some wisdom that normal people can't get, it seems that this is not a rumor, but a fact. Bliss's praise seemed very awkward, but what Hu Gao said was exactly the same as the Dark Warrior's analysis.
Roughly figured out the matter, the two of them hurried to the mansion of the Liqing branch, there were many guards standing at the gate of the courtyard, and Hu Gao stepped forward to explain his intentions.
"I'm sorry Inheritor, we need to go in and report it. ”
"No need, you just lead the way, when will you still play this trick!" Hu Gao ignored it and went straight inside.
The guards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to really stop them, so they could only send a clever one to lead the way in front.
The room of the Netherworld Elder Pheasant is completely different from the patriarch's room, it is completely a very elegant tone, Hu Gaogang thought that he had walked into a calligrapher's house when he walked in, and an inexplicable smell of books came to his nose, which was very contrary to the old and cunning image of the Elder Pheasant.
It seems that Hu Gao came in with Bliss, and both the Pheasant and the Shadow were taken aback.
"Hu Gao, why did you come here?" Elder Pheasant's attention was on Bliss, Hu Gao just came, how could he bring Bliss as well.
One of the dark men standing next to Elder Pheasant happened to be Hu Gao's acquaintance, and it was Ningcheng where he carried Hu Gao on his back, Hu Gao still remembered that his name seemed to be Shadow, which should just be a code name.
After the shadow saw Hu Gao, he was obviously panicked, and his eyes were also very unkind when he looked at the guards, it was completely a rice bucket, so many people were guarding the door, how could Hu Gao, a rookie in the Shadow Realm, run in.
The guard looked at Hu Gao innocently, meaning, he is the inheritor appointed by the High Priest, what can we little scum do with a big man like him.
Of course, this series of various eye contacts did not escape Hu Gao's eyes, and he also knew that he seemed to have done something reckless, and it was indeed not a good thing to come over to investigate with Bliss, so he preemptively said: "Great Elder, I came to find Qinglian, she hasn't been looking for me recently, where did she go?"
The expression of the Great Elder of the Green Pheasant was like a change of face in the [Sichuan Opera], and he switched several times, Qinglian's matter was too complicated, he couldn't think of how to explain it to Hu Gao, what he was most worried about was that if one day, the two sides became enemies, what should he do?
"Hu Gao, you go back to the sect hall first to find the Elder Chuangong, Qinglian was taken out by the clan to practice, and she won't come back recently, I will let you know when she comes back." The pheasant waved his hand and made a gesture of sending off guests.
