Chapter 1132: News from the Cold Clouds!
"Seniors, such a big event happened in your family, it was inconvenient for me as an outsider to say anything, but I am a good friend of Qianyi, and I have a fateful friendship with the third son, so I don't treat myself as an outsider. Xia Bo strode out, stood in the center of the main hall, bowed to the people of the Murong family, and then said: "Actually, I didn't speak just now but I thought of something, I'll say it now, if there is something wrong, I hope you don't feel surprised!"
Then, Xia Bo said.
Everyone nodded again and again, praising Xia Bo for making sense.
"Someone has been secretly planning for a long time to make a move on the Murong family!" Murong Ran, as the head of the family, naturally thought of more aspects, and suddenly had a very terrifying idea in his heart.
When the elders of the Murong family went to exterminate the White Bone Gate a few days ago, they got some secret information from the remnants of the White Bone Gate, and it was indeed someone who secretly gave a large number of spirit stones and various cultivation resources to buy the White Bone Gate and fund the White Bone Gate to deal with the Murong family.
Now it seems that things are not so simple, someone dared to kill the nine elders of the Murong family in public, and the location was around the Murong family's mansion, indicating that the people hidden in the dark were very familiar with Yancheng, and even one or even several families in Yancheng.
What information did those people want to get from the mouth of the Nine Elders before he died, which showed their eagerness even more, if they either wanted to uproot the Murong family, or they had taken a fancy to something in the Murong family.
The assassination of the high-ranking figures of the Murong family is afraid that it will continue to surge one after another until the Murong family is defeated.
During this period of time, it is estimated that the Murong family will not be able to calm down.
"It's really a mountain rain coming!" Murong Ran couldn't help but think of this, feeling that the responsibility on his shoulders as the head of the family was very heavy, and he was already a little out of breath.
Everyone has listened to Xia Bo's analysis, and they all feel that Xia Bo's analysis is very correct, and several younger generations, including Murong Shu, are going to worship him as an idol.
The elders who didn't know Xia Bo before now know about it, and they took the initiative to show favor to Xia Bo.
However, Murong Hu's face was pale, and the methods used to deal with Xia Bo invisibly set off Xia Bo, and raised Xia Bo's position higher, and he was carried away by hatred, and shouted in his heart: "I remember you! As long as you dare not leave my Murong family for a day, I will definitely find a way to dismantle you to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The high-level of the Murong family discussed for a long time, but there was no good way.
Murong Ran could only let everyone disperse first, leaving only a few henchmen.
When everyone left, Murong Ran took action to seal the door of the main hall and protected it with a formation.
Seeing Murong Ran busy working around, Xia Bo understood very well that as the head of the family, it was appropriate to be cautious in doing things.
There were less than ten people in the main hall, Murong Ran, Murong Jia brothers, three elders Murong Qingsong, four elders Murong Qingyun, Murong Qianyi and Murong Shu, and one Xia Bo.
"Alright, now that the irrelevant people are gone, tell us what you think. Murong Ran said with a solemn expression.
"I think those people must be trying to know something from him when they deal with Lao Jiu like this. However, my Murong family has been passed down to the present, and there are a lot of secrets in the family, but if you really want to say that life and death are at stake, there is no such thing in my impression, so why did this kind of pre-death confession happen?" The fourth elder Murong Qingyun nodded and said, "If we can ask this matter clearly, maybe we can deduce the enemy's intentions." ”
"What the four elders said is exactly what I think in my heart!" Murong Jia then agreed: "Our family has gone through thousands of years, and there are quite a few grudges with people, and I can understand if the enemy wants to kill us all.
But they acted so sneakily, it was clear that they didn't want to tear their faces immediately, so what did they want?"
Murong Ran thought it was very reasonable, as the head of the family, he couldn't think of any secrets hidden by the Murong family, which was worthy of such a deliberate calculation by the enemy.
"Everyone, don't forget what happened seven hundred years ago!" the third elder, Murong Qingsong, who was in charge of the family's martial arts secret book, suddenly realized something and suddenly reminded.
"Seven hundred years ago, the third elder, you were right!" The fourth elder immediately suddenly realized: "Our Murong family does have treasures, but this one is too strange, and it is not a great thing in itself, so I didn't think of it!"
"Are you talking about the map of the Cold Cloud Secret Land? It's just that isn't that thing a legendary object?" Murong Ran also thought of what the four elders were referring to, and frowned and said, "We don't know if this one in the hands of our Murong family is true or false, how do outsiders know about it?"
"Dad, what is the secret place of cold clouds that the head of the family is talking about?" The things of seven hundred years ago are still a little far away, and Murong Qianyi has never even heard of them, so he secretly asked his father Murong Jia, "Do we have that thing in our family? How come I have never heard of it?"
"Yes, yes, but that thing is a map, and I don't even know what is drawn on it, I only know that an old ancestor accidentally obtained it, and it has also caused countless greedy people to hunt down!" Murong Jia explained: "That cold cloud secret land is said to be a place where an ancient powerhouse fell, and there are countless treasures treasured in it, if someone can get it, it can compete with the power of an empire, which shows the amazing place." ”
"Since this Cold Cloud Secret Land is a treasure land, why don't the family send someone to hunt for treasure?" Murong Qianyi suddenly thought of a question and continued to ask.
"For so many years, no one can be sure whether that picture is true or false, the Murong family is the overlord of Yancheng, even if there are no treasures, no one dares to fight us, so no one of the Murong family has the idea of going to hunt for treasures. Murong Jia's explanation was very straightforward: "If this kind of thing hadn't happened today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it." ”
Murong Qianyi pondered for a while, but he couldn't think of a result, so he told Xia Bo about this matter, wanting to see Xia Bo's opinion.
"Cold Cloud Secret Land? It's kind of interesting!" Xia Bo hadn't heard of Cold Cloud Secret Land before, but the map of this place could be collected by the Murong family for a full seven hundred years, so it must not be too bad.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think I have a solution that is not a solution. Xia Bo was silent for a moment, and after thinking about the plan, he said, "If you can't come up with an idea, you might as well listen to me!"
"Little brother, what can you do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Murong Ran's eyes lit up and said, "Since I can keep you, I must believe in you very much, so you can rest assured and say it boldly!"
"Okay, then I'll say it!" Xia Bo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, things are very simple now, the enemy has done so many things in secret, just to get something out of your hands, and you just guessed that it may have something to do with Hanyun secretly, but you don't know if the enemy wants it." ”
"Then you just let people spread the news, saying that you are going to take people to the cold cloud secret place to hunt for treasures, so that the people of several major families in Yancheng can participate. Shabo continued: "In this way, perhaps your enemies will also be ready to move, and perhaps they will be able to find their flaws. ”
"Although this idea of yours is good, how can you guarantee that those who are hiding in the shadows will be fooled?" The third elder, Murong Qingsong, was more cautious and asked, "If they don't want the map of the Cold Cloud Secret Land, but something else, it will be useless for us to do so. Besides, if we make an appointment with someone from another family, if this map is fake, how can I explain it to them?"
"Third Elder, I think you have too many concerns!" Xia Bo said confidently, "I didn't think that map was real, I just wanted outsiders to think it was true, and then follow us to hunt for treasures." ”
"Even if the people in the dark didn't plan to do this in the first place, they definitely can't stand the temptation of so many treasures, as long as they dare to run out, I have a hundred ways to deal with them!" Xia Bo continued: "What's more, the things are our own, and we have already done our best to bring outsiders to treasure hunting now, as long as we talk ahead, even if the map is found to be fake in the end, they have no reason to blame us!"
"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Murong Qingyun nodded again and again.
Murong Ran also nodded in agreement, and sent people to other families in Yancheng, inviting everyone to gather to find the treasures in the Cold Cloud Secret Land after ten days.
The efficiency of the Murong family was quite fast, and they quickly notified the eight major families of Yancheng and the other two hermit families.
After learning the news, the reactions of various families were different.
Among them, the Lian family and the Huangfu family are the most intense.
More than half of the reason why this branch of the Lian family will take root and develop from the capital to this Yancheng is that they know that there is a map of the secret land of cold clouds in the Murong family, and they have bought the Huangfu family from the beginning, to the later series of plans against the Murong family, isn't it just to get the news of the map?
Now that the Murong family has taken the initiative to hunt for treasures, they are naturally the happiest to even the family, which can save them a lot of things.
The Huangfu family was furious, and Huangfu Qi was the most restless, and he had planned to let the Lian family and the Murong family fight for life and death, and then he would benefit from it and monopolize the treasures of the entire Cold Cloud Secret Land.
Now that the Murong family suddenly came out like this, it disrupted all his plans.
There is no way, now Huangfu Qi has no way out, so he can only choose to follow the Lian family all the way to the dark.
That night, in the secret room of the Lian family's mansion.
There were many people with strange expressions walking in, and almost half of the leaders of the Yancheng forces were gathered.
Among them, there are five or six heads of each family alone, and the people of these families, like the Huangfu family, have been bought by the Lian family.
"Since you are all willing to come here today, it means that you will all obey my arrangement. After everyone entered the secret room, Lian Antian, the head of the Yancheng Lian family, glanced at everyone, and then said: "I can assure you that as long as this matter is completed, there will be unexpected benefits, please rest assured!"
"Brother Lian does things, of course I don't worry!" An elder from the eight major families in Yancheng nodded, and then then asked, "Dare to ask what your Lian family's plan is, is it related to what the Murong family said today?"
"Yes, it is indeed related to this matter! Originally, I thought that the Murong family would have to hide for a while, but I didn't expect them to be so impatient and take the initiative to go treasure hunting, this is the best thing!" Lian Antian stood up and said happily: "I can tell you very clearly that there are many treasures in the cold cloud secret land, enough to be shared by everyone, and our Lian family only needs one of the scriptures, and nothing else will be taken, and everyone will naturally know about it then!"
Even An Tian directly made his words clear, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief and feel a lot more relaxed.
There was no interference from the Lian family, as long as they followed the Murong family and swaggered into the secret place, the things they found were their own, which made them all full of energy, and they couldn't wait to go back immediately and arrange for their subordinates to prepare to set off on a treasure hunt in ten days.
"As long as you grasp this treasure hunt, not only will you get the scripture designated by the capital family, but you can also integrate the forces of the entire Yancheng by the way, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Even An Tian sat there with a majestic face, watching everyone chatting hotly, and sneering in his heart.
"In a while, you will go to find out the tone of Lian Meng, the young master of the Lian family, and see what their specific plans are. Huangfu Gong said to Huangfu Qi: "When the matter comes to this point, we can't please both ends anymore, so we must get enough benefits in the cold clouds, can you understand what I mean?"
"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do. Huangfu Qi nodded slightly.
"Well, that's good!" Huangfu Gong nodded, and then the old god sat there, looking like he was outside the gods.
Even An Tian only glanced at Huangfu Gong slightly, and didn't ask anything.
Soon, five days passed.
In the main hall of the Murong family, Murong Ran and the others were studying the treasure hunt again.
As the elder guarding the secret book, Murong Qingsong spent a lot of effort to find the map of the Cold Cloud Secret Land.
However, because of the passage of time, some places on it are already blurred, and you have to refer to the current map to find the exact location.
"Look at such a broken picture, the Murong family has treasured it for seven hundred years, and now there are people who want to deal with them, it's really strange. Xia Bo was also involved, looking at the blurry map in front of him, he couldn't help but say to Yu Bing.
"Don't underestimate this picture, I can feel the breath of a long time away from it, this thing is definitely a real thing!" Yu Bing was also observing the map, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"You say this picture has been around for a long time?" Xia Bo asked curiously, "How long is it, a thousand years or two thousand years?"
"One or two thousand years? You underestimate it! In my opinion, this picture has existed for at least tens of thousands of years!" Yu Bing said proudly: "Originally, its material was absolutely first-class, but it was because it took so long for it to become so blurry." I'm very curious now, if we follow the map to find that secret place, what will we find in the end?"
"Then I don't know!" Xia Bo shook his head and said, "As long as it's not something terrible, even if I don't get anything from this trip, I can accept it!"
"Look at your little bit of talent, it's so embarrassing!" Yu Bing said disdainfully.
