Tribe?!

This word is very common, but in the border of Hanzhou, it refers to extremely sensitive.

Perhaps in the territory of Daqi, there are some more wild and primitive areas, where living beings are still gathered in the form of tribes.

But in Hanzhou, that is never the case.

Only the grassland next door is the tribal system prevailing, and on the boundless wilderness, a barbarian tribe is inherited in the form of a bloodline tribe.

Now Zhang Xinkong has changed his face and met with people secretly, and the other party even said such words as our tribe......

Zhou Qing probably guessed the identity of the young man holding the fan, and also understood what the Zhang family was referring to in the Xuandu View mission.

This family is most likely in collusion with the barbarians.

The question now is how deep the collusion between the Zhang family and the barbarians is.

Because it is located on the border, the relationship between people and barbarians has always been a big problem in Hanzhou.

Although there have been many historical conflicts between the two ethnic groups, and even now there is no real peace, there is no lack of communication and exchanges between the two ethnic groups.

In those areas where the two clans are directly bordered and there is no natural terrain such as the Gray Bone Mountain Range, some individuals and forces have transactions with the barbarians, taking the treasures of the grassland to Hanzhou to sell, and then doing the opposite, which is almost a private tacit thing.

In such a world of cultivation, there are countless masters, and all kinds of magical Taoist martial arts emerge in an endless stream, and it is impossible to completely eliminate the prohibition of this kind of thing.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

This matter is very beneficial, and naturally there will be people who will go forward and do it one after another.

Even at the few junctions between the Great Qi and the barbarians, the Daqi government and the barbarian royal court also reached a consensus and jointly established a mutual market to exchange what they had or not.

This kind of mutual market is very prosperous, and all kinds of treasures that are only bred on the opposite side will appear, and the poison of the other, and the honey of mine, probably this is the truth.

What's more, like those mutual markets close to the 100,000 Snow Mountains, not only the human and barbarian races participate, but the Snow Clan will also join in and buy what they need.

However, such mutual markets are sometimes affected by the situation of various ethnic groups, and if a large-scale war breaks out, it will be closed immediately.

When the war is over, when the turmoil passes, the mutual market will naturally resume again.

So generally speaking, after discovering such a situation, how to deal with the Zhang family, we must first determine the extent of their collusion with the barbarians.

If it's just an ordinary trading relationship, it will definitely be punished.

Although the civil forces of the human and barbarian clans traded with each other, although it was something that they knew in private, on the surface, it was forbidden by both the Great Qi government and the barbarian royal court.

If you do it and someone finds out, you will naturally be punished, but in the special circumstances of this world, you will not die.

Doesn't the Great Qi government want to punish severely?

Of course, I want to, but there are some things that the court also has to compromise and consider the opinions of all parties.

There are too many people and forces involved in this kind of thing, and they can only take a step back.

We don't come blatantly and admit it when we are discovered.

But as long as we don't go too far, you can't mess around when you punish.

Just like those officials and doctors in the ancient times of the Zhou and Qing dynasties had privileges, the great power of the cultivators in this realm was attributed to themselves, and the connections of each cultivation force were intricate, and they were naturally special.

In the final analysis, the Qi Bai clan is one of the top families in the world, and the local power of each state and county is not something that the Qi Bai clan can completely ignore.

But if the Zhang family is conveying benefits to the barbarian tribes and seriously harming the interests of Daqi, then they will have to be severely punished, and drastic measures can be adopted.

Even if the Zhang family directly took refuge in the barbarians and had betrayed the human race, there was nothing to say, and the clan would be wiped out directly.

But this is normal.

Now the affairs of the Zhang family have been discovered by Xuanduguan and handed over to Zhou Qing to deal with it with full authority.

In the true biography assessment, it was clearly stated that after investigating the problems of the Zhang family, Zhou Qing would do whatever he wanted.

The laws of Great Qi, the tacit understanding between the imperial court and those local forces in Hanzhou, and the rules that cannot be put on the surface, as long as he wants to, he can ignore them.

Even if the Zhang family only has a normal trading relationship with a barbarian tribe, Zhou Qing can directly choose to deal with the Zhang family with the heaviest punishment.

Or maybe the Zhang family completely surrendered to the barbarians, and Zhou Qing could also turn a blind eye.

All the choices he made, during the True Transmission Assessment, the Xuandu Temple supported him, allowing him to ignore all the rules in the Hanzhou Realm.

But if you think about it a little, you know that if Zhou Qingzhen chooses to act recklessly, then the true biography assessment will definitely fail.

If the Zhang family really took refuge in the barbarians, but he didn't deal with it, Xuanduguan wouldn't say anything, but when he returned to Xuanduguan, after the true inheritance assessment was over, how could the Zhang family really be safe and sound, and there would never be a good end.

During the assessment, Xuanduguan will not interfere with his choice, but after the assessment is over, how can Xuanduguan keep such a traitorous family.

In the blurred light and shadow, Zhang Xinkong didn't speak for a long time, he seemed to be angry, and when he spoke again, his tone was very bad.

"The masters of your tribe have come here to take risks, and what I have done for you, don't you take risks?"

Zhang Xinkong stared at the young man holding the fan, "If I let Xuanduguan know, I won't be able to live today." ”

The young man with the fan didn't care very much and said: "Xuanduguan won't know that everything has been normal in Hanyuan County for so many years, and there has never been any major problems, how can Xuanduguan pay attention to such a small place." ”

"Also, how much profit and how much risk should you bear, Master Zhang won't think that you can complete the True Blood Refining now, it depends on your own talent, right?"

The last remark was full of irony.

When Zhou Qing heard this, his heart moved, although the conversation between the two did not reveal what their transaction was, but it also allowed Zhou Qing to get a lot of information.

The matter between the Zhang family and this barbarian tribe is probably very serious in nature......

"Our tribe will not interfere in the affairs of the Han family, in the past, the Han family was not much different from your Zhang family, but you can also complete the transaction on time and in accordance with the amount."

The young man with the fan chuckled, "Why is it that the strength of the Zhang family master has become stronger now, overpowering the Han family, but saying that the Han family will affect our transaction?" ”

What Zhang Xinkong thought, he knew at a glance.

The strength has become stronger, but the ambition has also swelled, and it is not enough to cooperate with them, and I also want to get more in Hanyuan County, and I want to eat on both sides.

"I don't know, I still think that Han Tielin is the true blood refiner, Zhang family master, do your own thing, our tribe will give you what you want."

"The second and third refining of true blood is not impossible."

"There is nothing important in the future, don't contact me at will, I have other things to do in Hanzhou."

With that, the young man with the fan got up and took one last look at Zhang Xinkong.

"Deliver the goods once a month, last month, it should also be given, or that place, this kind of thing, don't let me remind me more."

Then without waiting for Zhang Xinkong to respond, he left directly.

In the light and shadow, Zhang Xinkong clenched his fists, revealing his muscles, but he didn't have a seizure after all.

Zhang Xinkong suddenly made a movement to look up at the sky, his brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing's heart sank, and he hurriedly dispersed the light and shadow in front of him, and no longer observed the situation there through the light.

"In the face of this kind of master, there is still a risk in using fixed income alone, and the more times you observe the other party, the higher the risk."

The fixed light is not unrestricted in its ability to observe those who are locked in with its breath with the help of light.

The other party's strength is strong enough, and if you look at it for a long time, you may be perceived by that kind of peeping, and if you see it too many times, you will definitely be suspicious.

There is no means that can be said to be absolutely flawless, it just depends on who you are targeting.

At the top of the restaurant, Zhang Xinkong's frowning brows soothed, and he felt that something seemed to be wrong just now.

But this feeling quickly faded away, and there was no clue.

"Impudent brute ......"

Zhang Xinkong scolded in his heart, and then got up to leave.

No one could have imagined that there had just been an incident of collusion between people and barbarians here, and one of the parties was still the head of the Zhang family.

If Zhou Qing didn't have a fixed light, he wouldn't believe that the dignified head of the Zhang family would come to such a place so low-key and cautiously.

It can be said that if this barbarian went to Zhang's house to meet Zhang Xinkong every time, then it is estimated that he would have been noticed a long time ago.

But Zhang Xinkong took the initiative to leave Zhang's house, which made the matter extremely hidden.

I'm afraid that when he left the Zhang family, he also walked in a special place such as a secret passage.

Do things that are unexpected so that no one notices.

Zhou Qing recalled the conversation between Zhang Xinkong and the two, thinking about what to do next.

"According to that person's request, the Zhang family should hand over last month's goods to the barbarians within a few days."

"I don't know if Zhang Xinkong personally went to trade, or let the rest of the Zhang family do this, if it was for someone else to do it, then if I could intercept this batch of goods before the transaction, I would be able to directly know what the Zhang family was selling to the barbarians."

As for observing Zhang Xinkong through fixed-rest light...... The point is that it is impossible for him to stare at Zhang Xinkong from morning to night, and he is not sure when Zhang Xinkong will meet the Zhang family and talk about these things, what if he doesn't say it?

Therefore, the fixed light should be used, but the other paths should also be walked together.

If Zhang Xinkong had done this in person, it would have been impossible to intercept the goods in advance.

In that case, when Han Tielin recovered, Zhou Qing planned to attack directly.

Although I don't know what the so-called "goods" are, I know from Zhang Xinkong's words that his collusion with the barbarians is very deep, and there is a high probability that it is not allowed to be viewed by Xuandu.

Directly do it to him, and then search for other evidence afterwards, that's no problem.

However, if he could, Zhou Qing still wanted to find out everything first, and then act on the evidence.

He's a reasonable man.

Even if it is death, let the other party die clearly.

And will the Zhang family directly hand over the goods to the fan-wielding young man?

This is most likely not.

Because judging from the last words of the young man with the fan, his status should be relatively high, and there are still many things to do in Hanzhou in the future, so let the Zhang family not disturb him at will.

Such a person is estimated not to return to the grassland for the time being, let alone to pick up and transport goods.

Delivered on January 1, twelve times a year, such a person who dared to mock Zhang Xinkong in person would never do such "hard work".

"In addition to Zhang Xinkong, the Zhang family also has many masters of the Manifestation Saint Cleansing Realm, if this matter is to be done by others, it also needs enough strength to ensure it."

"Collusion with barbarians is not the only thing that Zhang Xinkong knows, but there are definitely not many people who know, Zhang Xinli and Zhang Bo are very suspicious."

Zhang Xinli, Zhang Xinkong's younger brother, the consummation of the manifestation, once hit the Yin God Realm, although he failed but survived, with the help of the Zhang family, he did not hurt his vitality, but his strength was stronger than the normal consummation of the manifestation.

Zhang Bo, the ultimate in marrow washing, is known as the most promising clansman of the Zhang family to advance to the True Blood Realm, and has practiced in Xuandu Temple.

This is the information that Zhou Qing got from the Han family, and these two people can be said to be high-level people in the Zhang family whose status is only below the head of the family.

Thinking of these two people, Zhou Qing went to Han Shanshan and asked her to learn more about these two high-level officials of the Zhang family, such as the activities of the two on weekdays.

Han Shanshan thought for a while and said:

"My grandfather knows more about this, why don't you let him tell Senior Brother Zhou about it?"

The big family has a clear division of labor, and various departments complement each other, Han Shanshan is still young after all, and it is impossible to understand everything in great detail.

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement, and soon the eldest grandfather came here.

This old man was not among the old men that Zhou Qing saw during his "alchemy", and he was a little strange.

"Old Han Deyan, I have seen Zhou Gongzi, thank Zhou Gongzi for his help to the Han family."

Han Deyan wanted to bow to Zhou Qing, but was held up by Zhou Qing in time.

This old man is a marrow cleansing martial artist, but his qi and blood are already very decayed, and Zhou Qing estimates that he is probably over ninety years old.

It is not appropriate to take him as a salute.

Han Shanshan told Han Deyan about Zhou Qing's question, and after a little thought, he replied:

"Zhang Bo is rarely in charge of the affairs of the Zhang family because he is expected to be promoted to true blood, and most of the time he cultivates in the Zhang family with peace of mind, in order to break through, he rarely shows up, and there is very little information about him."

"And although Zhang Xinli failed to promote to the Yin God, his strength is stronger than that of ordinary Manifestation Consummation, but there is no possibility of going further, so many important affairs of the Zhang family are in charge of Zhang Xinli."

"Things like the important business of the Zhang family in other counties, the docking with some powerful forces, and the ancestral land of the Zhang family in Hengchuan County are all in charge of Zhang Xinli, and I have a lot of Zhang Xinli's intelligence records there, which can be brought over to Zhou Gongzi for reference."

Zhou Qing suddenly asked, "Wait, Zhangjiazu Land in Hengchuan County, what's going on there?" ”

"That's the case, after the Zhang family grows, although the focus is on Hanyuan County, Hengchuan County is still valued by the Zhang family, and the ancestral land of the Zhang family is still there."

Han Deyan explained, "At the same time, because a large number of items produced in the Gray Bone Mountain Range were brought into Hengchuan County by cultivators, many forces have stations there, and there are also exploration teams that specialize in entering the Gray Bone Mountain Range. ”

"So Zhang Xinli will take the people of the Zhang family back to Hengchuan County every month, send some resources to the ancestral land of the Zhang family, and bring the resources collected by the Zhang family in Hengchuan County back to Hanyuan City, either digest them within the Zhang family, or continue to send them to all parties for sale."

"Because the resources that need to be transported every time are extremely valuable, Zhang Xinli is generally responsible for it personally, and if he doesn't have time, he will hand it over to other Zhang family masters."

The Gray Bone Mountain Range is a natural treasure land, where brute beast bodies, medicinal herbs, spiritual plants, and other things can be found.

Especially brute beasts, any part of their body is a treasure that can be used by cultivators.

Any force has a great need for the flesh of a brute beast, like the Qi and Blood Pill of the Xuandu Temple, it needs the flesh and blood of a brute beast.

The entire Hanyuan County, and the Gray Bone Mountain Range can provide these things in large quantities, and the brute beast flesh and blood consumed by forces like the Zhang family every month is incomparably large, and they don't know how many space bags they need.

The area inside many space bags is not large, and hundreds of cubic meters are already very rare.

However, the corpses of brute beasts are generally huge, and some brute beasts can grow to tens of meters.

For these reasons, it is not surprising that Zhang Xinli led the people of the Zhang family to Hengchuan to transport resources.

Other forces in Cold Plains City, including the Han family, will do similar things every once in a while.

It's so strange that everybody does it.

But this information, in the eyes of Zhou Qing, who already knew that the Zhang family was colluding with the barbarians, was problematic.

Could the Zhang family's trade with the barbarians be carried out in the Gray Bone Mountains? The goods are in this team returning to their ancestral land?

Even if it's not, it doesn't matter, as long as Zhang Xinli leaves Hanyuan City, it will be Zhou Qing's chance to catch the truth.

Zhou Qing asked, "Has the Zhang family returned to Hengchuan County this month?" ”

"Nope."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, and carefully learned from Han Deyan about the information of some masters of the Zhang family, as well as many affairs related to Hengchuan County.

After Han Deyan left, Zhou Qing said to Han Shanshan:

"Miss Han, please ask the Han family to pay attention to Zhang Xinli and other masters for me, if anyone wants to go to Hengchuan County, please notify me in time."

"But this matter, I must keep it secret, so that no one can know that it is what I want to need."

"Senior Brother Zhou, please rest assured, every time the Zhang family returns to Hengchuan County, it is above board, it is not difficult to find out, and no one will find you."

Han Shanshan smiled, "After all, the Han family has been paying attention to the Zhang family, and it hasn't been a day or two. ”

"Senior Brother Zhou wants to go to Hengchuan County? Do you need my father to send a few masters of the Han family with you? ”

Zhou Qing shook his head, "No need, it's more convenient for me to be alone." ”

The master of the Han family......

In terms of Zhou Qing's current strength, except for Han Tielin, the rest of the Han family is just low-handed in front of him.

With him, he did not keep it secret, and when he was in danger, he had to take care of the Han family in turn.

When Zhou Qing didn't expect it, in the afternoon, the Han family had news that many people from the Zhang family had already gone to Hengchuan County.

The person who led the team was Zhang Xinli!

This made Zhou Qing feel even more that this group of Zhang family members was likely to trade with the barbarians.

The young man with the fan just urged Zhang Xinkong, and there was such a thing in the afternoon, which is difficult not to reminisce.

In addition to Zhang Xinli, the other masters of the Zhang family, the Han family, also gave him accurate information, so that Zhou Qing had an accurate understanding of the strength of the Zhang family in this team.

After Zhang Xinli and the others left Hanyuan City, Zhou Qing and Han Tielin said that they hoped that he could recover to his peak as soon as possible, and it was very likely that it would not be long before he needed to do it.

Then Zhou Qing also quietly followed, and at the same time, he also handed Han Tielin a snail to facilitate follow-up contact at any time.

From Hanyuan City to Hengchuan County, this distance must be within the range of snail services.

After seeing Zhang Xinli and others from a distance, Zhou Qing did not worry, but found a place where no one was, changed into an earth spirit demon, walked underground, and followed the Zhang family all the time.

The Earth Spirit Demon can control the power of the earth, so it is no problem to split the earth, create an area that can accommodate his physical body, and then walk underground with him.

Zhang Xinli's spiritual perception range is definitely wider than his, but the Earth Spirit Demon is gifted and naturally has the earth as a protection, and he remains in a position at the edge of the limit, so it is impossible for Zhang Xinli to find his traces.

At the same time, they will not lose these Zhang families.

Zhou Qing planned to wait until he was far away from Hanyuan City before making a move, and he would definitely not give Zhang Xinli any chance for them to ask Zhang Xinkong for help, nor would it attract the attention of Hengchuan County.

The information of the masters in this Zhang family's team appeared in Zhou Qing's heart.

Zhang Xinli, the consummation of sanctification.

Zhang Bai, late stage of the manifestation, Zhang Wei, the marrow washing Dacheng, Zhang Yan, the middle stage of the manifestation.

There are a total of four masters at the level of Manifestation and Cleansing, which are within the scope of Zhou Qing's response.

As for the daily tour of the bone refining realm, there is no need to say much, in front of Zhou Qing, it is a weed, and it can be harvested at will.

It is impossible for the Zhang family to have another Zhou Qing.

Time passed, and Zhou Qing occasionally checked the map to determine his current location.

By the evening, they were far away from Cold Plains City.

The Zhang family and his entourage rushed to Hengchuan County, naturally it was impossible to walk or ride a horse, and the flying magic weapon was extremely fast.

Fortunately, the earth spirit demon has a great bonus in the earth, and the power of the earth will not hinder him in the slightest, but will help him move forward, so Zhou Qingcai has not lost it.

"The location is almost ......"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then stopped on the spot, and after making sure that he was no longer within the scope of Zhang Xinli's perception, he rushed out of the earth and returned to his human body.

Then he took out a flying magic weapon that the Han family had temporarily lent him, the top flying magic weapon in the Han family, and directly chased after Zhang Xinli and them at a faster speed.

The large amount of Yuan Crystal embedded in the flying magic weapon was drained of power, and the distance between them and Zhang Xinli was shortened in an instant, and it was still continuing.

The movement in the rear also quickly alarmed Zhang Xinli and others, the Zhang family's flying boat stopped, and many masters looked back.

"It's the Han family's Aurora Flying Boat!"

Zhang Xinli frowned, this flying magic weapon is famous, and he also knows it.

"How could someone from the Han family suddenly appear? Also going to Yokokawa County? ”

"Is it coming for us?"

"Han Tielin was almost beaten to death by the head of the family, how dare they? Maybe there's an emergency in Yokokawa Prefecture. ”

“……”

The rest of the people talked a lot, but there was nothing to fear.

Zhang Xinkong's breakthrough has made the people of the Zhang family unprecedentedly inflated now, and Zhang Xinli is also here, except for Han Tielin, no one in the Han family is the opponent of this manifest consummation.

Even they were still thinking that if the strength of the people in the Aurora Flying Boat was not as good as theirs, then the people of the Han family would be left behind!

This is not the first time that the Han and Zhang families have secretly done such a thing.

Zhang Xinli asked loudly, "I don't know which friend of the Han family it is?" ”

"People from the Zhang family? I'm not here to look for you, I have an urgent matter to go to Hengchuan County. ”

Zhou Qing's voice changed, imitating an old man of the Han family who he saw during alchemy.

Zhang Xinli sneered, "Han Dewei? You old guy can have something to do when you go to Hengchuan County, why don't you stop and talk to us. ”

At the same time, he gave the other Zhang family a look, and the others understood and secretly gathered strength.

The Aurora Flying Boat was getting closer and closer, and the people of the Zhang family were about to move, but before they could make a move, a three-pole array flag suddenly appeared on the flying boat!

The strong horizontal formation was formed in an instant, and the power of heaven and earth boiled.

A magic sword was born, mighty and brilliant, like a god.

"Phew!"

The unstoppable power directly pierced the foreheads of the three members of the Zhang family, and then cut the consummate Zhang Xinkong in half!

He reacted, and he had already erupted into a terrifying Dao technique to resist, but it was useless.

Before it was over, the magic sword was swallowing an incomparable divine light, disappeared, and when it reappeared, it would already fall on the rest of the Zhang family, ending everyone's lives, and all the resistance was just a paper-like defense.

What manifests the Holy Realm, the Cleansing Realm, and what powerful Manifestation Consummation that has had the experience of impacting the Yin God, under the suppression of the formation, under the invincible magic sword, they are all like tofu.

Shatter at the touch of a button!

Zhou Qing also went to the side of the Zhang family's flying magic weapon, and directly took away their souls and suppressed them.

In an instant, everyone in the Zhang family was in a different place and disappeared here.
