Twenty-five Cold
Chen Su was in front, Mu Xian was behind, the two of them followed the path of Chen Su and others when they went up the mountain and went down Yekun Mountain, and occasionally a demon beast would come out along the way, but after seeing Mu Xian, he fled without a trace, at the beginning Mu Xian was still a little puzzled, he had obviously restrained his vitality, unless the other party cultivated much higher than himself, he should not be able to see his own details, how could these demon beasts have such a reaction? Later, those demon beasts were more like they had a sense, and directly avoided the path of Chen Su and the others down the mountain, which also saved the two of them a lot of trouble. When the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, they also met several waves of hunters who seemed to come to hunt for treasure in the slaughter of beasts, but every time they met, the hunters had the same strange eyes, and they didn't know what they were muttering, and then they avoided it with some fear.
Chen Su and the others can't manage so much, it's naturally a good thing that no one comes to find trouble, and the two of them have come to take Liusha City outside the east gate in less than half a day along the main road. Along the way, Mu Xian and Chen Su discussed some of the words when they were questioned, and when they arrived at the city gate, the two were basically ready, for Chen Su, once his identity from the outside world was revealed, it would be very troublesome, and Mu Xian's true identity would also cause a lot of waves. At the gate of Quicksand City, the bustling crowd seemed to be welcoming some important festival, and Chen Su inquired about what was going on, while slowly approaching the sect of the Iron Desert Clan.
Inquire along the road, everyone has different opinions, and when Chen Su and the others came to the entrance of the Iron Desert Clan's hall, they didn't figure out what was going on, as soon as they arrived at the door of the Iron Desert Clan's hall, a guard clan member at the door immediately recognized Chen Su, after all, Chen Su's movements here before, for the Tiemo Clan, no one knows, no one knows.
"Chen ......" The clansman clearly recognized Chen Su, but did not call out his name directly, but turned his head to the guard next to him and said, "You watch, I'll go and report it." After saying that, he ran into the hall with a smoke.
Chen Su saw the guards running in to report it, so he and Mu Xian stopped and stood at the door. Looking at the guard guarding the door, he asked, "May I ask this eldest brother, Miss Wu Bingyu, has he ever come back?"
The guard glanced at Chen Su, "Of course the eldest lady is back, she is not like some timid and afraid people, she only knows how to say empty words to coax people." ”
The attitude of the guard and the sudden words Chen Su was a little stunned, what kind of timid and afraid person Why did he say this inexplicably? Just wanted to step forward and ask something again, but was stopped by Mu Xian's wrist.
"Childe, those who are clean are self-purifying, why bother with a subordinate to fight for something. ”
The guard saw that Mu Xian was full of white hair, and said angrily, "Subordinate, only you are subordinate." ”
Mu Xian smiled slightly, and the cangshou Tong Yan suddenly exuded a sense of non-anger, and the guard couldn't help but shiver, and didn't dare to speak anymore, so he took a step back and stood back.
Chen Su and Mu Xian waited at the door for a while, and then they heard an eager shout coming from inside the door, "My brother is back, why don't you invite him in?" As the voice came out, a strong figure stood at the door.
Chen Su heard the voice very clearly, it was Ugo, and at this time, a warm current suddenly surged in his chest, and he took two steps forward, "Big brother, it's my brother who is back." ”
The voice fell, Ugo stood at the door, looking at Chen Su with both eyes, and there was a layer of mist in the tiger's eyes, but at this time, Ugo stopped and stayed for a moment, his lips trembled, he didn't speak, he just opened his arms.
Chen Su shouted big brother and stepped forward, and the two brothers hugged each other, and after a long time, they reluctantly separated.
"Brother, where have you been for so long, and you don't say a message to your eldest brother, but it makes me think about it. After a long moment's scrutiny, Ugo asked again.
"Big brother, it's a long story here, I'll tell you about it slowly when I'm free. By the way, big brother, is Bingyu back?" Chen Su's heart was still thinking about Wu Bingyu.
"Hmm. Ugo nodded, holding Chen Su with one hand, "The eldest lady has returned, as well as the patriarch and the two elders." Look at me, just take care of it, let's go, let's talk inside. After speaking, he pulled Chen Su and walked towards the door.
"Wait, big brother, I'm going to introduce you to someone. After Chen Su finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Mu Xian.
Mu Xian bowed to Ugo, "This must be the son of Ugo who has been mentioned many times in the mouth of the childe, right?"
Ugo hurriedly returned the salute, "In Lower Ugo, I've seen my seniors." ”
Mu Xian took a step forward, "The gift of the son, the old slave doesn't dare to accept it." ”
Chen Su looked at the two of them, although they had made an appointment with Mu Xian before, and they were commensurate with master and servant, but it was always unnatural, and at this time, he didn't know what to do, whether he should introduce Mu Xian's origin to Ugo.
Chen Su didn't say that Mu Xian was a slave, and Ugo naturally couldn't treat Mu Xian as a slave, so Ugo pulled Chen Su with one hand and Mu Xian with the other, and said with great interest: "Standing at the door, which is the hospitality of my Iron Desert Clan, go, let's talk in the hall, now that Brother Chen is back, it coincides with this extraordinary period in Liusha City, just ask Brother Chen to give us ideas for the Iron Desert Clan." ”
Ugo pulled Chen Su and the others into the hall, but saw more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, dozens of guards on both sides, and the atmosphere was quite serious.
"Patriarch!" As soon as he entered the lobby, Ugo shouted with a grin, "Chen Yingying is back." ”
Chen Su entered the lobby, he almost didn't know the people here, and Ugo called the patriarch when he came in, so the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the hall should be Wu Bingyu's father, Wu Jianfeng, the current patriarch of the Iron Desert Clan.
"The younger Chen Su has seen the Wu patriarch. Chen Su bowed, and Mu Xian stood with his head bowed behind.
Wu Jianfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Su, this young man has nothing to do with the word strong, he also heard some things from the mouths of the clansmen before, and now that he sees a real person, it seems that it is nothing more than that.
Wu Jianfeng snorted, and agreed, "If you don't have any urgent matters, it is better to live in my Iron Desert Clan first, anyway, my Iron Desert Clan can still afford to eat and drink for two people." ”
Wu Jianfeng's words, Chen Su didn't sound very good, how could he seem to be sending a person to ask for food.
Ugo also felt that this was not very popular, but after all, Wu Jianfeng was the patriarch, and it was not easy for him to attack directly, "Patriarch, Brother Chen, young hero, our Iron Desert Clan is now the time to employ people, why don't you invite Brother Chen to take a closer look?"
"Huh?" Wu Jianfeng looked displeased, "Ugo, now that I do things, do I want you to teach me?"
"The subordinates don't dare. Ugo took a step back and bowed his head.
"Since you don't dare, don't retreat!" Wu Jianfeng scolded, turned his head, and no longer paid attention to the two. Everyone present began to talk in a whisper, and seemed to have a lot of criticism for Chen Su.
Ugo didn't want to take Chen Su into the sect hall in a hurry, but he ate such a bend, even if he was alone, he still took Chen Su, but the other party was the head of the clan, so he had to break his steel teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Brother, let's go, accompany my eldest brother to drink some wine. Ugo turned around and pulled Chen Su and strode out of the sect. Only the contemptuous accusations of disdain were left behind.
As soon as the three of them left the gate of the sect, Ugo began to complain, "Hey, you said that this patriarch, I don't know what to think, I just listened to the slander of those villains, I am really angry." ”
Chen Su was also curious about what had happened during the time he left, and the three of them walked all the way, and Chen Su asked without a word.
It turned out that after beating Chen Su and the three of them set off for Yekun Mountain, less than half a month, Teng Zhan and Wu Bingyu rescued the patriarch and the two elders back, and then Teng Zhan became the real hero of the Iron Desert Clan, it is said that Wu Jianfeng attached great importance to Teng Zhan, not only gave him the title of an honorary elder of the Iron Desert Clan, but also intended to match him and Wu Bingyu. As for Chen Su, Wu Bingyu also clamored several times to take someone to rescue, but was stopped by Wujian Peak every time, and later a statement came out, saying that Chen Su was not actually trapped in Yekun Mountain at all, he was just afraid of danger at the time, and took the opportunity to escape alone, otherwise why did he see no trace of Chen Su when the cave in Yekun Mountain was opened?
Chen Su was very angry when he heard these statements, fortunately, Mu Xian was by his side at this time, and he could prove his innocence, otherwise he would really be regarded as a timid and fearful person.
Ugo told Chen Su about it, and the three of them slowly walked outside the courtyard where Ugo lived, "Brother Chen, eldest brother believes that you are not the one who retreats, you tell eldest brother, where have you been for so long?"
"This ......" was asked by Ugo, Chen Su was speechless for a while, because he had promised Mu Xian never to reveal the secret of Fulong Palace, "Big brother, I really didn't run away, but I have already promised others......"
Ugo waved his hand, "Brother, as long as you say this, where have you been these days, big brother doesn't ask, big brother believes in you." ”
"Brother Xie Lu, by the way, why don't you see Miss Bingyu?"
"Hey, since you disappeared, Miss Bingyu has been clamoring to save you, and then she had to beg the Tengluo patriarch of the Linghai clan, and the Teng patriarch sent someone to go with the young lady, and it is said that he went to the cave where you were trapped, but he did not find you. Ugo said, glancing at Chen Su, "But since she came back, the young lady has locked herself in the house alone, and rarely comes out." ”
Chen Su sighed and looked back at Mu Xian, but Mu Xian lowered his head and did not react.
"Brother, if you miss Miss, later, I will send a letter to Miss and see if we can meet her. ”
"No need. Chen Su waved his hand, and when he spoke, he regretted it a little in his heart, he had always wanted to see that beautiful smile, but at this time he felt a little bitter.
Ugo laughed, "This matter, listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother." ”
Chen Su didn't answer again, but changed the topic, "Big brother, when we just entered the city, we inquired, it seems that something big is going to happen in Liusha City." ”
"No!" Ugo sighed, "I just took you to the Patriarch, and that's exactly why. ”
"Oh?"
"Let's go into the house. Ugo invited Chen Su and the others into the inner hall, and the three of them sat down, and Ugo even asked people to prepare some wine and food.
Ugo clapped his big hand on his knees, and looked out the window with his eyes, "Brother, don't you know, we have been under the rule of Qingyan for more than fifty years, and almost all the people in the city live by doing business for the Qingyan Dynasty." Now there are more than 20 famous families here, large and small, and there are some temporary organizations and strong people who work for them. But a few days ago, the Qingyan Dynasty put down its words, and in order to facilitate management, let Liusha City integrate the power of the three parties, and all future affairs, large and small, will be handed over to these three families. ”
"Doesn't that mean that many small families are going to face a major crisis?"
"Yes, that's right, the two largest ones in Liusha City today are the Sand Ant Clan Lianjia in the north and the Rock Lizard Clan merchant in the south, but our Iron Desert Clan has no friendship with the two of them, once they are integrated, they will definitely have to do those thankless jobs in the future. Speaking of this, Ugo's expression slowly became difficult to look at.
"And what about the other side?"
"The other side, hey, integrated there, is undoubtedly a baptism of blood and fire for the Iron Desert Clan. ”
"Why did Big Brother say that?"
"Because the other side will be selected among those forces that are unwilling to accept the integration of the two major forces, that is to say, speak by strength, but at the moment of our Tiemo Clan, the patriarch and the two elders have not fully recovered, so Wu Kuang, let's not mention it, and the rest of the people are really ...... Ay. Ugo sighed again, "If this continues, we Iron Desert will disappear completely." ”
"Is there no other way?"
"Method, patriarch they are thinking. Some clansmen want to lean on the Linghai Clan, after all, the Linghai Clan has had a good relationship with our Tiemo Clan for generations, and they are even more closely related to each other. The patriarch matched the eldest lady and Teng Zhan, perhaps for this reason. Speaking of this, Ugo seemed to feel that something was wrong, and looked at Chen Su, who was as calm as ever, before continuing: "But the Linghai clan is also not a big clan, and they are also facing great danger. ”
The three of them talked, the wine and food were served, Ugo greeted Chen Su and the others, pushed the glass and changed the lamp, maybe Ugo was in a mood and soon got drunk.
Chen Su saw that Ugo was drunk, and helped him lie down, "Senior Mu, why did the eldest brother just say that the cave of Yekun Mountain was wide open, but they didn't find me?"
Mu Xian smiled, "I just know that Gongzi will definitely ask me this question, when the two of us came out, I said that it is connected to Fulong Hall by seals, how can ordinary people find it? Now that the son has come out, why should he care what they say? ”
Chen Su nodded, "What the seniors said is not unreasonable. ”
While the two were chatting, a noise suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
