"What did you say?"

"Dewey, dead?"

In Ning Hong's room, Jiang Tian had already told everything that happened to the Du family last night.

"Well, now the Du family has died in name only."

Jiang Tian nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to put it mildly.

Ning Hongxiang was in turmoil in his heart at the moment, he knew the martial arts strength of the Du family, Du Wei himself was a grandmaster, not to mention, their Du family also raised a lot of martial arts fighters, Jiang Tian actually killed them all by himself?

"You look surprised?"

Jiang Tian saw that she was silent for a long time, raised his eyes and said.

Ning Hongxiang reacted, and said with a long sigh of relief:

"I thought the Du family would ...... you"

"What will happen?"

Jiang Tian looked at her with a smile and said.

"Nothing."

Ning Hongxiang shook her head.

To be honest, when she knew that the Du family was going to kill Jiang Tian at all costs, she really sweated for Jiang Tian.

However, she still underestimated Jiang Tian's strength.

In the face of the entire Du family, he was unharmed, and even brought down this family that had been entrenched in Jinling City for nearly a hundred years, which made her unbelievable.

"Okay, what about you? Why is it here? Still locked in your room? ”

Jiang Tian saw that she didn't want to say it, and he didn't care, so he continued to ask.

Subsequently, Ning Hongxiang briefly told Jiang Tian about her coming to the Du family.

After Jiang Tian listened, he smiled slightly and said:

"Then you don't have to worry about it now."

"yes, don't worry."

Ning Hongxiang nodded, looking at Jiang Tian with hopeful eyes.

Is this man really refreshing his perception of him again and again?

Just as Ning Hongxiang sighed in her heart, at this time, footsteps came from outside the door.

The two looked back and saw Zhou Dafa and Du Chen appear outside the door.

When Du Chen saw that Jiang Tian was really here, his face changed slightly.

"Jiang Shao, do you know?"

Du Chen asked cautiously.

Obviously, he was afraid of what Ning Hongxiang said to Jiang Tian, if Jiang Tian opened the killing ring in anger, then the Du family would be completely finished.

Jiang Tian didn't reply to him, but asked indifferently, "Is there something?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just here to see if you're awake, I've ordered someone to prepare breakfast, please come over and have breakfast."

Du Chen shook his head again and again.

Jiang Tian shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Dafa at all.

"Did you find out what you were asked to check?"

Zhou Dafa hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Jiang Shao has been found, and the information is here." ”

As he spoke, he handed the information he had found to Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and took a brief look, nodded and said, "Let's go eat first." ”

With that, he got up and left.

But when he walked to the door, he saw that Ning Hongmakeup didn't mean to follow, so he said:

"Aren't you eating?"

Ning Hongxiang shook her head, then looked at Du Chen and asked:

"Where is Uncle Ming?"

Du Chen already knew that Ning Hongxiang probably knew Jiang Tian, so he didn't dare to offend at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Ming was arranged by us to another place, and I will immediately ask someone to bring him over." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand to the subordinates guarding the threshold.

A few minutes later, I saw Uncle Ming, who had a scarred face and ragged clothes, walking over.

"Uncle Ming!"

When Ning Hongxiang saw Uncle Ming, she rushed forward as soon as possible.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Uncle Ming was also very excited when he saw Ning Hongjiao, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"I'm fine, what about you?"

Ning Hongxiang shook her head.

Uncle Ming also shook his head and said, "It's just that I've been injured a little, and it's fine." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Tian.

Although he didn't know what was going on, seeing that the Du family was so polite to him now, he could have a hunch that there must be something Jiang Tian related to this.

"Jiang Shao, this time, thanks to you."

So, he walked up to Jiang Tian and bowed sincerely.

Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. ”

Seeing this, Uncle Ming smiled slightly and didn't say anything, just thinking that Jiang Tian was low-key.

Subsequently, a group of people came to the Du family's restaurant for breakfast.

It is said that it is the Du family's restaurant, but there is no Du family dining here today, and even the usual position of the head of the family was sat by Jiang Tian.

At the dining table, Jiang Tian was eating breakfast while looking at the information from Zhou Dafa's investigation.

According to Zhou Dafa's investigation, the distribution of the Jiangnan martial arts world is quite extensive, divided by the Yangtze River, and the martial arts forces south of the Jiangnan are not strong. In addition to the martial arts associations in several big cities in Jinling, there are some so-called martial arts families, and there are very few martial arts forces.

Among them, the most powerful ones are called the Blood Blade Society, the Dragon Tiger Gate, and a force called the Heavenly Star Tower.

These three forces are the most famous in the south of Jiangnan.

It is said that these forces have a relationship with the sects on the mountain, and they have achieved a three-legged trend south of the Yangtze River.

And after Jiangnan crossed the Yangtze River, the martial arts atmosphere north of Jiangnan changed dramatically in an instant.

It is said that the north is still martial, and there are more than a dozen famous martial arts families alone, and as for the power, it is even larger, at least dozens more than in the south.

"Is there such a big difference between the north and the south?"

After Jiang Tian finished reading it, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Jiang Shao, since ancient times, Jiangnan has been the home of literati and artists, and martial arts are not prosperous. It wasn't until a hundred or ten years ago that martial arts gradually developed around Jiangnan, and the north of Jiangnan was the fastest developing. ”

Zhou Dafa nodded.

Jiang Tian bowed, and then continued: "Then how do these forces usually survive? ”

"How to survive? They all have their own industries, and now in modern society, even warriors have to eat, how can they survive without their own industries? ”

Zhou Dafa didn't think about it.

However, it was obvious that Jiang Tian was not asking for this meaning.

Du Chen, who had been standing behind, saw Jiang Tian frowning, hesitated for a moment and said:

"Jiang Shao, can I say a few words?"

Jiang Tian glanced at him and said, "Say it." ”

Du Chen was overjoyed, and then said:

"Is Jiang Shao understanding the martial arts pattern in Jiangnan? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, although Jiangnan is large, the division of martial arts forces is very clear. For example, our Du family may be a good martial arts family in Jinling, but it can't be ranked in the whole Jiangnan. ”

"You just said that how these secular martial arts families and forces survive, of course, has its own relationship. Now that the martial arts are declining and cultivation resources are scarce, even if the family forces want to obtain cultivation resources through themselves, it is difficult to reach the sky. Therefore, small family forces like us will generally look for backers. ”

"Backer? What backer? ”

Jiang Tian became interested, so he asked.

"Naturally, there are more powerful forces and families!"

Du Chen said without hesitation.

"Oh? Expand and talk. ”

"Actually, Jiang Shao, the martial arts families and forces you see now are actually just some on the surface, in fact, there is a greater energy behind the scenes. For example, although the Martial Arts Association is an official organization, it rarely cares about them from above, and it is almost autonomous. And the Martial Dao Society is in charge of almost thirty or forty percent of the cultivation resources in the region, so if the ordinary martial arts family wants to develop, they must have a good relationship with the Martial Arts Association, and they will allocate some cultivation resources. ”

Du Chen said eloquently.

"Oh? The Martial Arts Association is in charge of thirty or forty percent of the local cultivation resources? And what about the remaining sixty or seventy? ”

Jiang Tian looked at him and asked.

Du Chen smiled bitterly and said:

"The remaining sixty or seventy will naturally be controlled by those capable big forces, these forces are all behind them, such as the sect on the mountain......"
