Chapter 431: Rebellion (I)

Jiang Ling'e looked at the pitch-black short sword in front of her, her big eyes blinked, she gently took the short sword, and her hands sank slightly when she started.

"Huh?"

She was shocked in her heart, the weight of this short sword was much heavier than she had imagined. Generally speaking, a good blade is generally much heavier than an ordinary blade, except for some special textures.

Jiang Ling'e flipped her wrist and simply danced a sword flower. As a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, even if she is only an outer disciple, her vision is much stronger than those so-called swordsmiths in the markets and rivers and lakes under the mountain.

"The blade and the spine of the sword are natural, it can be seen that it is a master's handwriting!"

As she spoke, she picked up another trace of her inner strength and poured it into the pitch-black blade. In an instant, a little starlight lit up from the blade of the sword, and Jiang Ling'e's small mouth immediately opened slightly, and her eyes widened a little, looking very cute.

"Neitong Zhenyuan, it turned out to be a quasi-temple weapon that can breed sword spirits? No, is your internal strength also a fire attribute?" The girl frowned, staring at the red star light on the blade, and then glanced at Yi Xifeng.

In fact, she didn't know that this night cold star, because it was a fusion of hematite and cold ice ironstone, the raw materials of these two attributes, plus zeolite was harmonized from it, and the extremely special meteorite "Meteorite Eighty-Three", so that the night sword and cold star achieved the dual attributes of yin and yang.

Not only Ling'e's fire attribute, even the yang attribute of Yi Xifeng, and Li Xintian's earth attribute can be infused with internal strength on the blade, and at the same time obtain a good increase!

This is just this, Yi Xifeng naturally won't tell the other party, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the next task was indeed related to the Qingyun Sect, the white pure boy would not have handed over his main weapon to the other party so easily.

"The Qingyun Sect really lives up to its reputation, it is fate that Miss Jiang can meet today, if he has the opportunity in the future, we will go to the Qingyun Sect to visit you." Yi Xifeng arched his hand and said.

Jiang Ling'e was originally looking at this pitch-black short sword with a pensive expression, but when she suddenly heard the other party say this, she pointed at herself in amazement and said, "What......? Come and play with me...... When are you coming?"

She grew up in the Qingyun Sect since she was a child, and she didn't have any friends except for those senior brothers and sisters, and the two people in front of her were the first pair of "friends under the mountain" she had made since she grew up so much, so she asked expectantly.

Li Xintian raised his hand and lightly covered his lips with the back of his hand, obviously thinking that the other party was very interesting, so he continued: "This maybe, it's better like this, let's taste this white fish first, as for when to go to the Qingyun Sect to play with you, and then decide after eating the fish!"

It was almost noon at this time, so they made a fire on the shore of the lake and borrowed a cauldron from the old man who was holding the boat. Yi Xifeng used the magic to control the internal strength of the peak to remove the scales of these six white fish.

I think that at the beginning, when the seven people met for the first time on the bank of the Spring Breeze River, only the white and pure boy in the realm of power could use the sword qi to scrape off all the scales, and at the same time, with this hand, he won the recognition of the comic boy Qi Chengcheng. At this time, more than a year has passed, his realm has improved by leaps and bounds, and his strength is not comparable to that time, so naturally these six white fish can handle it more easily than at that time.

After packing up the six fish, he took some clean water and steamed them in this pot. After the water boiled, the smell of fresh fish came out within a few minutes.

Speaking of which, this white fish is also other, compared with other fish such as ordinary herring, grass carp, or black fish, this white fish has a very light fishy smell, but after steaming, there is a faint rice fragrance, and the entrance is even sweeter and not greasy. In addition, except for the lip and gills of the fish, the other parts are snow-white, and the meat is tender and juicy, so the local people often call it "fish rice".

Li Xintian naturally likes this kind of white fish very much, and although Jiang Ling'e on the side often eats this kind of white fish, she still can't get tired of eating it for a long time looking at her posture!

............ Dividing line ............

Yinren Town, the Zhong family's mansion.

On the one hand, it was two days ago, Zhao Yuntian suddenly died, and a piece of news spread all over Yinren. Yinren Zhen is the remnant of the previous dynasty, and the reason why Zhao Yuntian died was because Luo Yunzong's master shot and killed.

The Zhong family, as one of the six major families of Yinren, is understandable for falling into anxiety and panic because of the unfavorable situation in which Yinren is located. Even if the head of the family, Zhong Qianhe, announced that the Zhong family would coexist with Yinren Town, it did not cause much turmoil in the Zhong family.

After all, even if the Zhong family was careful and planned to avoid the war, they only dared to quietly go behind their backs, and the nature of the betrayal and betrayal of their compatriots was too bad, so no one easily brought this matter to the table and said it.

However, at this critical moment, Zhong Qianhe, the head of the Zhong family, suddenly fell ill.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time he has fallen ill, after all, the old man is not young, and his martial arts level is average, and he only maintains the appearance of being in the realm of potential. He is nearly in his seventies, and it is reasonable for him to suddenly fall ill because of the recent stress.

But at this critical period, the Zhong family lacked the most important backbone, which made the entire Zhong family panic!

A maid of the Zhong Mansion wearing a silk gown carried a tray in her hand, a white porcelain bowl with a fine texture, which was placed on the tray. Looking at her hurried steps, it was obvious that she was afraid that the decoction in the porcelain bowl would be cold.

The figure of the maid passed through three or four small courtyards from the pharmacy where the medicine was decocted, and was sent into a very wide courtyard. At this time, red, white, and pink hydrangeas are planted in the pavilion, which is very beautiful.

You must know that on the day of the Fallen Leaves City, a row of these brightly colored "hydrangeas" was planted next to the streets of the city, and this wide courtyard was full of plants, and the number of them was also amazing.

It can be seen that the owner of this courtyard has a very high status in the Zhong Mansion, and of course, it also reflects the amazing financial resources of the Zhong Mansion from the side.

The maid walked into the main hall with a tray, but was blocked by Zhong Qian, who was waiting here.

"Flustered, what do you look like!?" the emaciated Zhong family's chief butler scolded the other party in a low voice.

When the maid saw that it was Zhong Qian, she immediately shrunk her neck in fright and buried her head deeply, like a frightened quail.

"Okay, leave the medicine to me, don't go in, the old man's condition has just stabilized, and he can't be angry!" Zhong Qian took the tray from her, turned his head and walked into the main hall.

The maid froze for a moment, then hurried out of the hall with her head bowed.

"Ah Qian, who is the person outside?" Zhong Qianhe's weak voice came from the main hall.

The chief housekeeper of the Zhong family bowed down and walked in, climbed onto the bed in the main hall in a few steps, picked up the medicine bowl in the tray, approached the head of the family, and said in a low voice: "The head of the family, it's a little maid, it's okay, it's okay, you drink the medicine first!"

Zhong Qianhe sat up with difficulty on the edge of the bed, drank two sips of the medicine in the bowl, shook his head and put it down, and said with a wry smile: "This medicine is too bitter, I can't drink it." And my own body knows that this is not a disease, but a life!"

Zhong Qian immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Family Master, you are the pillar of the Zhong family, you can't talk nonsense!"

The old man looked at the emaciated old butler in front of him and muttered, "Up and down the Zhong family, how has it changed in the past few days?"

Zhong Qian lowered his head and said: "After the head of the family fell ill, people were panicked, and there have been more than a dozen cases in the past two days, and the children of the Zhong family have fled!"

"More than a dozen? well, have they all been chased back?" Zhong Qianhe muttered.

The thin butler nodded and said, "Chased back, chased back thirteen people, and ran one." ”

The old man nodded, then waved his hand to let the other party retreat, obviously tired.

Zhong Qian bowed, then walked out of the main hall with the tray in his hand. He went outside, looked at the remaining two-thirds of the liquid medicine on the tray, and took a sip of the medicine bowl.

"Tsk, so bitter, old immortal, how do you drink it?" he muttered alone.

......

In the evening of the same day, in a deserted courtyard of the Zhong family, which was originally Zhong Lingxi's study, later the eldest lady began to practice martial arts, and repaired the teachers who forced her to learn embroidery and female workers when she was young.

Those female workers and embroiderers who were full of Luo Yun naturally hugged their heads and went to Zhong Qianhe to cry. This also made him cry and laugh, so he had to pay a large amount of compensation and resign them all.

Since then, this courtyard, which was specially used as the "eldest lady and the girl red", has been abandoned. At this time, it was already approaching evening, and according to the custom, all the shopkeepers of the Zhong family, who had been operating outside for a day, would come to the Zhong Mansion to pay their accounts.

But today is different, more than half of the hundred and ten people in the Zhong Mansion have gathered here at this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are gathered here today because there is something I want to discuss with you. "It was a shopkeeper of the Zhong family who spoke, but it was not an ordinary shopkeeper, but a higher-status inspector shopkeeper.

Some time ago, Zhou Di led the team to Chunfeng Town to complete the "Ground Level Serial Mission", and Captain Zhou chose to pretend to be the Zhong family's inspection shopkeeper.

It's just that the person who spoke at this time was the real Zhongfu inspection shopkeeper.

This man has a three-inch beard, is nearly in his middle age, and has a slightly chubby figure. He glanced at everyone and continued, "Yin Ren is caught in the battle with Luo Yunguo this time, which is much larger than the scale of the previous battles with Iron Heart Village and Fallen Leaf City. ”

This person doesn't talk much nonsense, and he speaks directly while observing the expressions of the people around him. Seeing that they were all deep in thought, most of them frowned. Apparently this question has been bothering them lately.

"My lord, I said, we want to live and die with Yinren!" he said again, which was exactly what Zhong Qianhe said before.

"However, I also want to ask you a question? It is understandable that we will live and die with Yinren, after all, we live and grow here. What I want to know is that when Yin Ren chose to be the enemy of Luo Yunguo, did it consider our survival?"

The middle-aged man's words made everyone present stunned at first, and then they all whispered.

At this point, the patrol shopkeeper restrained his emotions, glanced at the people present, and said in a deep voice: "I believe the answer is in everyone's heart, yes, we all know the answer." But I just want to ask, these high-level Yinren, when you decided to be the enemy of Luo Yunguo, you sent us people everywhere?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed, and a trace of resentment and anger could be seen, emanating from the bodies of this group of Zhong family disciples, although it was not big, but it lingered.

"We were born and grew up in Yinren! This is understandable! I am willing to live and die together for Yinren's liver and brain! However, I will never be a puppet of Yinren's top management, or a bargaining chip in negotiations with Luo Yunguo!" The middle-aged man shouted sharply.

As soon as these words came out, many people present were already a little moved, and even their breath trembled.

That's right, they were born and grew up in Yinren, but in the eyes of most people, it is not worth losing their lives for this, not that they have no guts, but that they feel that they have lost their lives to make others happy, this kind of thing is really stupid.

It's just that this selfish nature cannot be exposed to the light of morality. And the middle-aged man separated Yinren from Yinren's high-level for the first time, that is: Yinren's high-level does not represent this Yinren. is willing to live and die with Yinren, but is unwilling to be for Yinren's high-level.

As the sky gradually darkened, the figures in the courtyard gradually became invisible, but the people did not disperse because of this, but gathered more and more.

......

Li Chengtao, standing in a corner, looked at the impassioned crowd in the courtyard, and his face did not have a trace of waves in the night. In fact, he had been around here from the very beginning, and he had listened to the speeches of several people, including the most incendiary middle-aged shopkeeper.

"When did the Zhong family have such a powerful character?" he muttered to himself.

However, he didn't immediately stop the other party, but wanted to see what this group of people was going to do?

Soon, torches had been lit in this courtyard, and the firelight illuminated the field again, and the number of people present at this time was more than three times that of the evening, basically including more than forty percent of the young people of the Zhong family.

At this time, there were already many children of the Zhong family in the crowd, who stood up and shouted: "Our own lives are in control of ourselves, why should we follow others to bury with us!"

Then someone shouted, "Yes, let's go to the master of the house, ask him to take back his life, and lead us out of here to avoid the chaos of war for a while!"

"No, what if the head of the family doesn't agree? Let's go directly to the door of the presbyterian church and protest this kind of thing!" said the young man on the side.

......

When Li Chengtao heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his breath and laughed out loud!

Rebellion and uprising, not wanting to quickly seize territory and hold on, expand the armed forces, or destroy the enemy's living forces, but want to protest?!

It's true: Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out in three years!

But this big play, even if Li Chengtao doesn't want to watch it, he must insist on watching it, he knows that the mastermind behind it is indeed a difficult one to deal with.

Combined with the cleanliness of the opponent's shot to kill Zhao Yuntian, the captain of the patrol team can be sure that the other party must be a ruthless and abnormal opponent!
