Chapter 127: Two Foxes
"Brother, why are you back, who is this kid? Xiong Zhen was also very puzzled when he saw Xiao Che and them returning to the deserted city so soon.
"Big brother, don't make fun of me, I'm not much older than him, I just met this child, things have changed, his name is Wang Zheng, and he is a hard-working child. Xiao Che and Xiong Zhen were joking.
"Wang Zheng, come, I've seen Brother Xiong. Xiao Che pulled Wang Zheng over.
"Wang Zheng, I've seen Brother Xiong. Wang Zheng didn't know who this person was in front of him, but he could feel Xiong Zhen's domineering and powerful.
"Don't don't, don't, my old bear is most annoyed by these crooked etiquette. Xiong Zhen waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, Wang Zheng, relax and don't be nervous, the eldest brother is very easy to get along with. Xiao Che saw that Wang Zheng was a little nervous and comforted.
"Yes. After answering, Wang Zheng obediently stood aside.
"Big brother, what is the news of the demon clan recently?" Xiao Che asked after the greetings.
"Brother, don't say it, this demon clan doesn't know what's going on lately, and there's no news at all. It seemed like they had disappeared overnight, and I was worried that they were hatching a bigger conspiracy. Xiong Zhen knew much more than Xiao Che, and his eyes were full of worry.
Although Xiong Zhen is a demon beast and usually looks very aggressive, in fact, Xiao Che knows that Xiong Zhen's mind is very shrewd and delicate, but he doesn't care about the usual trivial things.
Now the matter of the demon clan makes him very worried. This time, the demons are targeting the two major races of human race and demon beasts.
In addition, since the appearance of the demon clan, the contact between the demon beast and the sea clan has also become frequent.
You must know that the Sea Clan also belongs to the demon beast race, but special races such as the mermaid clan belong to the humanoid race.
The composition of the sea clan is complex, but in general, it still belongs to demon beasts. It's just that they're called krakens, sea beasts.
The Sea Clan is powerful, and on the whole, it is above the Demon Beasts and the Human Race.
At the end of the day, the Sea Clan and the Demon Beast have a common ancestor, which is derived from the Four Elephant Divine Beasts, the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu.
Although these four elephant beast families have different shapes and different abilities, they are one.
In the Xuantian Realm, there is no four-elephant divine beast family, which is also the reason why the demon beast and the sea clan are not convinced by each other.
In addition, the two races live in very different regions and habits, and they look like two races, thus forming the current situation.
If it weren't for the Sea Clan standing in the camp of all races, I'm afraid that the demons wouldn't admit it so easily.
It can be seen that the strength of the sea clan.
Back then, the demon clan didn't do anything with the sea clan even in its heyday, at most it cleaned up the sea area near the land.
In fact, the demons didn't go deep into the ocean at all.
Fundamentally speaking, the demons are also a land race, and they are also uncomfortable in the sea, and even their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, so the demons did not do anything to the sea clan.
The main thing is also that there is no point in it. Even if the demons defeat the sea tribe, they will not be able to occupy it.
But now the situation is different. Now the Xuantian Continent is shattered, and in addition to forming major landmasses, countless islands have also been formed. And with the help of these islands, the demons will be able to threaten the sea clan.
This is also what makes the Sea Clan vigilant.
However, the people who occupy the island the most now are the human race and the demon beasts. Therefore, the three parties have also caused a lot of contradictions.
The current situation is that the Terrans and the Monsters want the Sea Clan to join their side against the Demons, and the Demons keep the Sea Clan neutral.
If the three clans are united, the demon clan will not be able to completely destroy the three clans.
forced the sea clan to hide in the deep sea, and no one in the demon clan had anything to do.
Now it depends on the attitude of the Sea Clan, but the Sea Clan does not stand in line, but has a wavering attitude, which makes both sides bottomless.
In fact, they didn't know that the Sea Clan was now also in a state of fragmentation, and the powerful races were all dissatisfied with each other.
Nowadays, the strongest forces of the Sea Clan are divided into the Mermaid Clan, the Kraken Clan, the Xuanjia Clan, the Golden Scale Clan, the Xuanjing Whale Clan, the Giant Shark Clan, the Floating Clan, the Eight-Eyed Thief King Clan, and the Emperor Crocodile Canglong Clan, the nine most powerful forces, they fight with each other, and each race has its own territory.
However, the strongest of these nine races all live together, and the force they formed is called the Sea God Palace.
Speaking of the Poseidon Palace, we have to say the Dragon Palace, I don't know when there has been such a legend.
In the earliest period, there was no later Four Elephant Divine Beast Family, and Qinglong was the master of the ocean. It was at that time that the Dragon Palace was established.
Later, for some reason, Qinglong and the other three divine beasts formed the Four Elephant Divine Beast Family, and they left the Dragon Palace. At that time, the Sea Clan was in chaos. The various factions are constantly fighting to become the masters of the sea.
But there is such a life, he does not know where he came from, starting from the weakest, fighting in the ocean, and what is surprising is that from the moment he was born, he has not tasted defeat in his class. Eventually, he defeated all the powerful Sea Clans. Later, he got the inheritance from nowhere, and obtained a divine artifact called the Heart of the Ocean. No one knows the origin of this artifact, but he shows all the sea tribes that with the heart of the ocean, he can control the entire ocean, and even all the water, and can easily decide the life and death of any sea creature.
This made the Sea Clan completely surrender to him, and he did not have the slightest politeness, but called himself the god of the sea.
Since then, there has been a legend of the god of the sea, and he built the Poseidon Palace, replacing the position of the Dragon Palace.
But for some reason, he disappeared later, and no one knew his traces, and as their understanding of the world deepened, they knew about the divine realm, and some sea tribes said that he went to the divine realm.
But for some reason, since he vanished, the Heart of the Ocean has also disappeared. This has made all the tribes covetous, but no one knows the whereabouts of the heart of the ocean.
The struggle between the tribes became more and more brutal.
But no matter how much they fought, no one had ever really owned the Poseidon Palace. Because they can't even get in at the door.
And no matter how powerful they used, they couldn't destroy the Seagod Palace.
This left them with nothing to do, and the war soon stopped, and they also tried countless ways to open the Poseidon Palace. But all means are in vain.
Just when they gave up completely, an oracle came that it was to make the strongest people in each group automatically become members of the Poseidon Palace, and they knew that the Poseidon had not fallen.
Then, Poseidon Palace automatically included these people. Since then, it has been stipulated that as long as there is a peak of the Nine Grades of the Supreme Realm in the Sea Clan, they will automatically enter the Sea God Palace. The Oracle of the Sea.
I don't know why these peak powerhouses of the Sea Clan are willing to enter the Sea God Palace and become the people of the Sea God Palace, guarding the Sea Clan from generation to generation.
Although after that, there were still battles among the major sea clans, but that kind of war-level battles were gone, which was why the sea clans were getting stronger and stronger.
Without internal friction, it is necessarily strong.
Besides, with the Seagod Palace, the Demon Clan can't completely destroy the Sea Clan, so they won't attack the Sea Clan.
However, the strange thing is that after the establishment of the Poseidon Palace, the former Dragon Palace has completely disappeared, and no one knows the whereabouts of the Dragon Palace, until now.
This became the biggest mystery in the ocean.
Xiao Che also had a headache when he heard Xiong Zhen talk about the demon beasts and the sea clan, and the current situation was too complicated.
"Brother, it's better for you to stay, just to hone your swordsmanship. I don't think your cultivation will improve much for a while, so it's better to spend your time honing your kendo. Xiong Zhen gave Xiao Che a pertinent suggestion.
"Big brother, you're right, I think so too. After saying that, Xiao Che and they went to rest.
Xiong Zhen had already arranged a residence for Xiao Che and them, and they stayed in the City Lord's Mansion.
After settling Wang Zheng and Dongya, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie finally had time to spend together.
"Fluttershy, when I reach the Supreme Realm, I'll propose to your father. Xiao Che looked at Zhou Xiaodie affectionately.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. After saying this, Zhou Xiaodie's cheeks turned crimson.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them are big-minded, bold and bright people, and even when they talk about love, they are different from others.
On this day, it was finally the day agreed with Huo Qing, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie went to the Qingyuan Continent to bring back the people from Stone Town.
The yellow sand is long, and more than 3,000 people have gathered here. 000 Literature
They were dressed in different attire, as if they were from many different countries.
The people of Stone Town come from all over the world, and each of them has their own story.
Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie arrived just in time, and all the people in Stone Town had already arrived.
They had arrived the day before yesterday, two days earlier than the agreed time.
Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie were busy greeting Huo Qing and Granny Wei. Looking at these people from Stone City who were sharp-eyed despite the dust, Xiao Che didn't know how excited he was, these people were the strongest family members in the Xuan Mansion.
Soon, everyone went to the Wuzhou Continent through the space gate.
It didn't take long for everyone to pass without a hitch.
It was the first time they had ever walked through this kind of spatial passage. And it is also the first time to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, they did not show curiosity, they had lived in seclusion in Stone Town for a long time, and their minds had long been honed to the point that they were not accidents.
The newly built village is also called Stone Town, which will make everyone feel close.
The architectural style of this village is almost exactly the same as that of Stone Town, except that the space is larger and the village area is wider than the original Stone Town.
Sure enough, everyone was overjoyed when they saw the newly built Stone Town.
The newly built village was divided into two parts, one residential and one cultivation.
In this way, it is more convenient for them.
No one could have imagined that from this moment on, this small village would start a legendary glorious years.
It is this inconspicuous small village that has become the core of Xuanfu.
After settling the people in Stone City, Xiao Che sent Wang Zheng here.
Since then, Wang Zheng has become a child who eats hundreds of meals in Stone City, and no one would have imagined that a killer king who shocked the world would be born in this small village.
Wang Zheng was really competitive enough, and on the day he moved to Stone City, he began to practice swordsmanship.
After dealing with this, Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie began their careers to continue to walk the world.
Before leaving, Xiao Che took Dongya to Stone Town.
In the east of Stone Town, he saw a scene that shocked him even more, there were so many strong people who cultivated above him here.
He didn't have much thought about it in the first place, and he wouldn't have it now.
Soon Xiao Che, Zhou Xiaodie and Dongya returned to the Qingyuan Continent.
Their first stop was naturally to return to Water City, but Xiao Che agreed to the cooperation of the City Lord of Water City, Shui Mufeng.
The journey was smooth, and they soon arrived in Watertown.
Xiao Che and the three of them were all disguised, not to mention Shui Mufeng, even familiar people would not recognize them.
As soon as Xiao Che arrived in Water City, he contacted the city lord, Shui Mu Feng.
According to Mizukikaze's meaning, they should meet in secret. And Xiao Che didn't think so.
Xiao Che thought that it was good for them to meet openly, and Xiao Che revealed the identity of the head of the Xuanfu, so that it would not arouse the suspicion of others. If they secretly found out that the situation was easy for the city lord's wife, that Miss Xu found out that she had recently killed her brother, and she would definitely monitor Shui Mufeng more closely.
Mizuki Feng heard the same, so the two discussed the time of the official meeting through contact.
On this day, although Xiao Che was not greeted too grandly, he attached great importance to it, not only the city lord Shui Mufeng was there, but his wife Xu Wenjuan was also there.
"Lord Xiao Welcome, welcome, please come in. Let me introduce you, this is my wife Xu Wenjuan. Saying that, Shui Mu Feng introduced his wife Xu Wenjuan like Xiao Che.
Xiao Che and Zhou Xiaodie looked at Xu Wenjuan. Don't look at Xu Wenjuan who is over forty years old, but she actually looks very young, and she thinks it is well maintained.
Xu Wenjuan also has a lot of Xiao Che.
Yesterday, Shui Mufeng told her that Xiao Che, the lord of Xuanfu, came to Shuicheng as a guest, and Xu Wenjuan had a lot of power in his hands, and he was even better than Shuimufeng, so he was naturally very concerned about the forces of the rivers and lakes like Xuanfu, which spanned several countries.
Xiao Che's name Xu Wenjuan also knows that the power of Xuanfu is even stronger. Although for Xu Wenjuan, it doesn't have much to do with her. But now she was a little strange about Xiao Che's sudden visit.
"The Lord of the Xiao Mansion came to my Water City, I don't know what to see?" In the City Lord's Mansion, after the two sides sat down, without waiting for Shui Mufeng to speak, Xu Wenjuan spoke first.
"Mrs. Shui, this time I came to admire the name of Water City and the Lord of Water City for a long time, and I specially came here to see if there is a chance for cooperation between the two sides. You know, my Xuanfu also does business, and there are so many distinctive products in Shuicheng, and my Xuanfu also has things that Shuicheng needs, such as military equipment and building materials. Although Xiao Che is a shopkeeper, he also knows a lot about the business of Xuanfu.
"Lord Xiao, this is not true, the military equipment of your mansion is indeed very famous, but my Water City is located within the empire, and now it is a time of peace, although this military equipment is good, it should be of little use to my Water City, right?" Xu Wenjuan asked rhetorically.
Now Xiao Che can also see that Xu Wenjuan's power is much greater than that of Shuimufeng, although Shuimufeng's strength is strong, but the current Shuicheng is actually in the hands of Xu Wenjuan.
"Mrs. Water, that's not what I said. A few days ago, Madame must have heard about the blood demon bat tide on the side of Heling City of the Emmonian Empire, the entire Heling City was destroyed, so many people died in the Emmonian Empire, and I heard that the military equipment purchased by the Emon Empire from my Xuanfu played a big role in this war. So that the losses of the Aemonian Empire were greatly reduced. You must know that a war with the demons may break out at any time, dare to ask how Shuicheng will deal with itself then?" Xiao Che retorted.
"What the Lord of the Xiao Mansion said is very true, but how about we discuss this matter?" Xu Wenjuan made Xiao Che's words very scolding, she couldn't find a reason to refute it now, but she was also smart enough to come up with such a way to retreat into advance.
"Yes, madam, then we will wait for your news, and we will stay at the inn these days. If you have discussed it with the lord of the city, you can call someone to pass me on at any time. Saying goodbye to Xiao Che and Xu Wenjuan.
Shui Mufeng and Xu Wenjuan left Xiao Che and they had a dinner party, but Xiao Che did not refuse.
At the dinner, Xu Wenjuan left first, and Shui Mufeng accompanied her to the end as the host. At the banquet, Xiao Che and Shui Mufeng talked a lot in code.
On such a righteous and bright occasion, it really did not arouse Xu Wenjuan's suspicions.
In fact, although the conversation between the two is clear at a glance, every sentence is not in vain.
Shui Mufeng and Xiao Che settled on a set of code words when they were in contact, and only the two of them could understand it.
"Lord Xiao, you also saw the Xu family, how do you feel?" Shui Mufeng and Xiao Che exchanged in code.
"When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. Although it was just a meeting, Xiao Che understood Xu Wenjuan's power.
"What is the Mansion Master going to do next?" asked Mizuki Fu.
"Water City Lord, I just cooperated with this matter, and it was mainly the city lord's decision. "Xiao Che doesn't want to be the mastermind, not to mention that this matter is Shui Mufeng's own business.
"I'm going to weaken her power a little bit, what do you think?" Mizuki Feng said his solution.
"Lord of Water City, I don't think so, weakening is necessary, but we don't have time to weaken little by little. Xiao Che didn't completely agree with Mizuki Feng's opinion.
"It seems that this time we have to rely on the power of your mansion. Mizuki Feng thought of a way.
"The Lord of the Water City has also had his own henchmen for so many years. Xiao Che said bluntly.
"You don't have to worry about this. When the people in your mansion are ready, I will issue an order for the Xu family to send people, and when the time comes, let those people go and not return. Mizuki Feng's eyes could reveal a kind of fierceness.
"That's good, city lord, we're almost done drinking, we should go back. Saying that, Xiao Che said goodbye to Shui Mufeng.
After the three of them returned to the inn, Xiao Che contacted the people in the Xuanfu.
However, he also kept a hand, and did not exactly do what he had discussed with Mizuki Feng.
"Dongya, Fluttershy, what do you think of Mizuki Feng and Xu Wenjuan?"
"Both of these are foxes, and none of them are good. Zhou Xiaodie said disdainfully.
Speaking of which, although it was her brother who harmed our family, the real culprit is his sister, and even the forces of the Xu family. "Dongya hates that bastard until now.
"We really have to discuss this matter, but we must not let these two people go around. Zhou Xiaodie also saw that this matter was not so simple.
"Don't worry, play with me, they're still far away. By the way, listen to me, I need you both to do something when the time comes. Saying that, Xiao Che called Zhou Xiaodie and Dongya together and instructed them.
