On the fifth day of December, early in the morning.

The frost on the windowsill was thick, and the morning sun was just shining on the city.

"Erqiu, didn't you get up, what about people?"

In a small courtyard in the east of Jinhai City, Wu Guangzhi, who was dressed in brocade clothes and had a shy stomach, wiped his face with ice water, and shouted that he was going to kick the door under the bed.

At this time, the courtyard door behind him was slammed open, and he was so frightened that his liver trembled.

"Who?"

Wu Guangzhi said in a low voice, instinctively wanting to pull out the steel knife hidden under the firewood, but when he glanced back, he found that it was the second ball of his right-hand man who entered the door.

"What are you doing with your turtle grandson?"

He scolded angrily, just breathed a sigh of relief, and was frightened by the sound of the second ball closing the door.

"Boss, something is wrong!"

Before Wu Guangzhi could get angry, the fat Erqiu had already taken a few steps to him, and took his arm into the house.

"I'm going to buy breakfast at the corner of the street, and guess what I saw?"

Erqiu asked in a low voice as he placed the two fires on the table.

Wu Guangzhi gave him a blank look, didn't answer, grabbed a fire and sent it to his mouth.

The second ball can only ask and answer itself.

"There is a bleeding human head hanging on the long pole at the entrance of the Zhangwu Academy, and I still think about which Fu Bo rushed down to reincarnate in the cold winter and the moon......"

"I didn't expect it to be the three of us!"

Hearing this, Wu Guangzhi's face suddenly froze.

He spat out the half-rotten fire on the ground, paced and muttered, "The third master is dead? Didn't you say last time that you were going to give birth to someone recently, why did you block it again? ”

"I heard it wasn't blocked."

The second ball hurried to answer.

"Look at the lively people who bought the Chi family, and I heard them say that our people intercepted and killed the hunting team yesterday."

"There are dozens of dead children in each family, and even the second child of the Li family has been disemboweled."

"The three masters died in the hands of the Hong family's star monarch Hong Fan."

After Erqiu finished speaking, he reached out to get the remaining fire, and suddenly saw his eldest brother's face pale.

"It's numb, it's over now......"

Wu Guangzhi gasped, and then even his teeth fought.

"The big boss is so unrighteous!"

"How much risk did we take to stay in Jinhai City for the gang all these years to contact and sell the stolen goods?"

He rubbed his belly, which was full of fat.

"Ever since Ma Jingsha Lao Ge entered the innate realm, the people we met in Jinhai have always retreated, and the well water does not interfere with the river water."

"Otherwise, how could the Li family, the Chi family, and the traffic hall accept our goods from unknown sources?"

"It's been less than a year since Ma Jingsha died, and they suddenly did this kind of head-killing business, and they didn't even talk to their brothers in advance, so that we could prepare early, it's really wolf-hearted!"

Erqiu also came back to his senses when he heard this, and finally couldn't care about the hunger in his stomach.

"Boss, we are usually so careful, we don't even raise a pigeon, others may not be able to find us, right?"

"Be careful with a ball? Do you take people for fools? ”

Wu Guangzhi scolded.

"Our identities are not clear, and others don't ask much. But as for the goods that usually go, people with a heart can't guess the roots? ”

"No, the world is sinister, we have to withdraw!"

As he spoke, he took out a short knife from the bedside, and took out a bag of gold and silver from under the night pot in the corner, and finally picked up the only fire left on the table, and walked to the door.

Pushing open the wooden door, there were already people waiting in the courtyard.

Before Wu Guangzhi could open his mouth to beg for mercy, a silent qi sword pierced his knee and burst out a string of blood beads.

It is the Li family's wind chasing sword.

······

In the afternoon of the same day.

The sun is shining high, and the winter air is exceptionally dry.

The walker walks through the sunlight into the shade of the trees, and it is like walking through a season.

The long street in front of Li's house is crowded with cars and horses.

There are so many high-ranking people gathered in non-annual festivals, and this kind of thing has not been seen in Jinhai City for a long time.

The Li family, the crane hall.

Under the main seat, there are four rows of mahogany circle chairs.

On the left and right, Hong Jian and Zheng Zhun sat separately, followed by the heads of the families led by Chi Chaiyuan.

Hong Sheng accompanied his father to attend the meeting this time, and he also had a place in the outer circle.

When everyone was seated, the master walked out from behind the hall, attracting sideways attention.

The person who came from Guy was not the Hegong of the Li family, but the eldest son Li Shenji.

This son of the Li family, who has always paid attention to appearance, has red eyes and bloodshot eyes at this time, and it seems that he has not slept all night.

"Elders, the family suddenly heard the bad news last night, and was so grief-stricken that he vomited blood on the spot, so I will do the work for me today."

He bowed to them and explained.

The so-called bad news is naturally the death of Li Xutuo.

"Please come here today, there are two things."

Li Shenji said in a deep voice, leaning on the main seat with interest, and did not really sit down.

"The first is to explain to you the circumstances of yesterday's attack so that we ......can set the record straight."

He started with the departure and return of the procession and ended with the sea flying out of the snow valley.

The whole explanation lasted for half an hour - as the organizer of this hunt, the Li family's message was naturally the most detailed and accurate.

And until the end of the speech, there was still not a single murmur in the Crane Hall.

Because everyone knows that since the Li family has invited so many important people, it must not only be this account, but also to give an explanation.

Sure enough, Li Shenji looked around at everyone and spoke again.

"The second thing you can probably guess."

"My Jinhai is adjacent to a foreign race, and it has always been blood for blood and tooth for tooth."

"The sea is violent, unscrupulous, and unswerving, cutting off my trade routes and killing my children, so that it is unbearable!"

His voice was hoarse, and his words sounded like rusty iron piercing the sand, with a smell of blood.

"That's why the Li family proposed here, and the surnames of Jinhai joined forces to send troops to sweep away the sea and behead the sand bandits to comfort the deceased!"

As soon as this statement came out, the followers were like thunder.

Especially the more than a dozen families whose core children died in this battle-such as Zheng Zhun, Chi Chaiyuan, etc.—were even more hateful in their voices.

The harmony receded like a tide, and the crane hall gradually quieted down.

Many people's eyes were on Hong Jian—he was one of the few who didn't speak.

"I don't know what Hong Shibo thinks?"

Li Shenji asked extremely respectfully.

The head of the Hong family lives in a simple house all the year round, and everyone knows it.

But no matter how low-key he is, as long as he has innate cultivation, he is the undoubted Optimus Pillar in Jinhai City.

"It's been five years since the sea flew to the Jinhai Desert, and I naturally want to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Hong Jian replied, speaking slowly.

"But the thorniness of the sand bandits has never been strong, but hidden and fast."

"The virtuous nephew wants to send troops, I have a question."

"Four hundred miles of Jinsha and Hanhai, the barren sand is long, where is the old nest on the sea?"

This question was asked, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Wan Guangji is only a sympathetic cultivation of heaven and man, and if it is about frontal combat power, he can only rank in the top five in Jinhai City.

The reason why he was able to rank 572nd on the list of evil and be at ease was because he was hiding in the desert and the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Just when everyone was depressed, Li Shenji was confident.

"Where the sea fly nest is, my Li family has a plan."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring up a middle-aged man with a big belly and a lame leg from the back hall.

"This person's name is Wu Guangzhi, and his identity is a high-level leader of the sea fly, who is responsible for selling stolen goods and purchasing."

"Although he hides his identity in every possible way, how can he live in the city for a long time?"

"After this incident, he was about to escape, but I arranged Wudang to ride and capture him in advance."

Li Shenji pulled up Wu Guangzhi's head and face to show everyone, and asked people to present a newly painted map.

This picture is of the Jinhai Desert, with dozens of locations marked with red pens, and several places in the core have been crossed with red crosses.
