Volume 1 The Light of Assets Chapter 12 Profit and Wisdom Faint
Wang's mansion, late at night.
At this time, everyone in the Wang family slept, including the maid and the servant. Only the doorman who guarded the door was still barely holding his eyelids.
Under the moonlight, it was deep and quiet, and only the few insect chirpings of Naxi Xi proved that the beauty of those flowers and plants in the garden was not made of mirrors.
The moon is colorful and starry.
The red dust and fireworks are extinguished, and there seems to be no ripple of right and wrong.
Playing the joys and sorrows, singing about love and hatred.
Except for me, I am responsible for others, and I can only spend a hundred years with sincerity.
In the silent night, there was a sudden sound of clanging metal, and then I heard Miss Wang screaming: "Ah!
Immediately afterward, the sound of metal crashing quickly died down.
The Liuyun Senior Brother ran out as soon as possible. I saw Lin Zhanqing standing in the courtyard, holding a simple long sword, looking at the high wall to the north.
Anxiously asked, "What's the situation?"
Lin Zhanqing did not panic at all, turned his head and glanced at Miss Wang's boudoir, and said, "There are assassins, and their martial arts are not weak. I heard a noise and felt something was wrong. As soon as he came out, he saw the Assassin climb over the wall and just hit the ground. After a few hurried moves, the assassin rolled over and walked out of the courtyard wall, and it was too late to chase after him. ”
When the people heard this, they did not have time to speak.
Then I heard a panicked voice coming from a distance, shouting, "How is the eldest lady? The old slave is late, and he deserves death." Then I saw the housekeeper of the Wang family stumbling over, with crooked slippers on his feet, and his hands were busy arranging the crooked robe.
After the eldest lady heard the housekeeper's voice, she slowly pushed the door open, carefully opened the door, poked her head out, and looked around. Make sure that there is no danger to live it, and this comes out of the house. It looked terrified.
Shrinking his head, his waist was bent, his hands were on his sleeves, and he trembled slightly. But even so, Wang Qingruo still suppressed his emotions, tried his best to keep himself stable, and said: "It's okay, thanks to Brother Zhan, the assassin was scared away by Brother Zhan's superb martial arts. After speaking, he seemed to be really no longer afraid, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.
"So very good, so very good! The young man is very kind, the old slave is unforgettable! Please accept the old slave!" After speaking, he made a gesture to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Zhanqing. Lin Zhanqing grabbed the Wang family's housekeeper, and Liuyun and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other, so that they could talk about it before pulling the Wang family's housekeeper up.
At this time, the head of the Wang family, the mother of the Wang family, also hurried over.
Wang's mother didn't say anything, hugged Wang Qingruo, and both cried.
The head of the Wang family inquired carefully for the first time, and after learning that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief. With a solemn expression, he hugged his fist to Lin Zhanqing and said, "Thanks to Shaoxia tonight, the little girl can be safe." The great grace is not grateful, Wang Mou remembered it in his heart, and he repaid it in the future. ”
Uncle Zhang, take twenty taels of silver after dawn. ”
"The young man takes it first, and he should fill in the wine and food"
Lin Zhanqing had no sorrow or joy, hugged his fists in return, and said: "This is originally a matter of duty, and the master of the Wang family is polite." ”
The head of the Wang family raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be a little angry, "The safety of the little girl is greater than the sky, no matter what, it is not an exaggeration." Young heroes don't need to be modest!"
Seeing this, Lin Zhanqing didn't say anything.
The head of the Wang family went to the Wang family's mansion and came back. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Ping Ziyan, "Tonight, how should we deal with it?"
Ping Ziyan seemed to be waiting for the Wang family master to ask, without any hesitation, he said: "The Wang family master doesn't need to worry, according to common sense, we have already taken precautions tonight, and the other party will definitely not act rashly." However, for the sake of safety, all my Liuyun disciples stayed by the side of the Wang family master, the Wang family master's mother, and the Wang family's young lady. If the head of the Wang family is still not at ease, then please ask the head of the Wang family, the mother of the Wang family, and the young lady of the Wang family to live in the same big house tonight. I, Liuyun, all my disciples, guard the left and right. ”
After hearing this, the head of the Wang family furrowed his brows, and the heart that he had been carrying finally settled down. "Shaoxia is so meticulous, what else is there to worry about my Wang? There is no need to mobilize the teachers tonight, everything is arranged as before. It's just that the young heroes of Liuyun Mountain are bothered a lot. ”
"It doesn't matter, it should be. Then please ask the head of the Wang family, the mother of the Wang family, and the eldest lady of the Wang family to rest early. ”
Located in the north of the city, the Zhang family's mansion is a small living room that is not commonly used.
The room was dim, and only a few candles were lit, and the candlelight flickered and flickered.
At the end of the circle chair sat a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in gold clothes, gold pants and gold boots. is obviously the head of the Zhang family. Beside him stood a lean old man who looked like a butler. A man in black, half-kneeling on the ground.
"The head of the Qi family. The news is not bad, the Wang family did invite a master. The man in black respectfully reported to the square-faced man in gold. It was the one who was invincible to Lin Zhanqing and escaped over the wall.
"How's martial arts?" The head of the Zhang family closed his eyes and never opened them. I didn't look at the man in black kneeling on the ground.
"Master of the Qi family, martial arts are indeed powerful. ”
"How does it compare to you?"
"If you fight with all your might, your subordinates will not be dishonored!"
"Let's go down. ”
"Yes. ”
After the black-clad assassin retreated, several young men dressed in brocade walked in.
The expression of the head of the Zhang family immediately became extremely respectful, and he was like two people before. Bent over, hands folded, flattering. obviously said in a flattering tone: Whether Zhang can succeed this time depends on the young heroes. After the matter is completed, Zhang will be thanked with a single gift. ”
After speaking, he solemnly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Hehehe, don't worry. With my brother in the courtyard, the plan of the head of the Zhang family is foolproof. It was a young man in Tsing Yi who spoke. The figure is thin and straight, with a handsome face and sword eyebrows. Shaking a plain light wood-colored paper fan, the literary quality is polite, and the demeanor of a child.
With the words of Shaoxia, Zhang was relieved. But ......"
"But what? The head of the Zhang family has something to say!" The young man in Tsing Yi spoke impatiently, which was completely inconsistent with the appearance of the elegant boy.
"This, Zhang said directly. Somehow, Liuyun Mountain also got involved. Now in the Wang family, protect the safety of the Wang family. ”
"The Five Authentic Liuyun Mountains? I really can't wait to see how capable the younger generation of Liuyun is. As the six sect masters of the true path, we are the first to give those martial arts sects who pretend to be high enough to have a long memory. The young man in Tsing Yi looked playful and sadistic, a posture that did not take Liuyun Mountain in his eyes at all.
"Liuyun Mountain is an elite disciple who came this time...... What if?" The head of the Zhang family asked again, obviously not believing the Haikou boasted by the young man in Tsing Yi.
"Could it be that the head of the Zhang family still can't trust me?"
Before a few teenagers could speak, a voice came from not far away. The voice is thick and steady, and although there is no emotional leakage, it seems to permeate the whole body. The head of the Zhang family couldn't help but shudder. Looking up, a man in a brown robe, in his early forties, was tall, with a withered yellow face and very focused eyes. Coming from the door of the living room.
"Uncle Shi, why are you here too?" All the disciples of the clogged courtyard asked in unison.
"I'll take a look at Liuyun Mountain's methods. The middle-aged man in the wide robe replied noncommittally.
The head of the Zhang family hurriedly bent over, clenched his fists, and smiled all over his face, "May I ask who this is?"
"This is our senior uncle, the junior brother of Elder Su of the Lihe Yuan!" the young man in Tsing Yi held his head up, his expression extremely proud.
"It turned out to be a hero. I have admired it for a long time, and I have the fate to see it today, and it is really extraordinary. The head of the Zhang family was about to bend his waist to the ground, his face was full of haha, his expression was extremely flattering, and he couldn't describe the obscenity.
"Hahahaha. The head of the Zhang family is polite. With me Gui Muwen personally in charge, those Liuyun juniors can only kneel and kowtow honestly. "This uncle of the clutch is more arrogant and more distracted than the young man in Tsing Yi. There is a posture that even if the masters of the whole martial arts are combined, they are not afraid at all.
One hundred and fifty miles away from Yanlai City, there is a mining site. Now it's desolate. It was the jade mine that caused the four major families in Yanlai City to fight for each other in the first place.
This mine was originally discovered by Zhangjia, and after exploration, it was found that the mine was rich in various ores. The Zhang family was overjoyed and ready to do a great job.
And the Wang family, the Li family, and the Zhao family knew the news of this mine. gathered in Zhang's mansion, under coercion and inducement, he had to buy shares no matter what. The three families joined hands, and the Zhang family did not dare to fight no matter what. No, I had to accept the heavy money of the three and operate together from then on.
However, later mining found that this mine produced a rare jade. Its color is dark green and nearly black, and its texture is hard. Under light, it is transparent and oily. It is a rare good jade.
The so-called profit makes the mind dim, and if you don't notice it, it is already a difference between heaven and hell. There is no more pity in the world than this.
The four major families of Yanlai City all thought about this and pondered taking it for themselves. But I never expected it, so it was out of control. After a few battles, the treasure mine has become irrelevant. Removing the other three families from Yanlai City is the necessity to gamble everything.
This night, a few people sneaked around the jade mine. The men were uniformly dressed in night clothes and talked carefully in low voices.
A few more people also came to the mine in night clothes. The same cautious, whispered conversation.
tossing and turning,
The two groups collided.
There is no nonsense, and the sword is drawn in an instant.
Swords and swords intertwined, and blood spilled into the night sky. The dust is flying, and no one will give in.
The sword slashed at the head, and the sword was aimed at the vital point. A few back and forth, more than a dozen people on both sides have already added injuries. Under the moonlight, the blood flowing from the wounds was particularly miserable and vivid.
The two sides ignored it completely, and there was no even any conversation during the whole process. It's just a simple fight, without any impurities.
The two sides tried their best at the beginning, and they seemed to have a very tacit understanding, and they were extremely vicious. Under the all-out fight, more than a dozen people were injured, and it was difficult for anyone to gain the upper hand. If you continue to fight, I am afraid that you will all die in this abandoned and desolate jade mine.
But what's particularly weird is that there is no sound or hint of anything. The two sides suddenly stopped and quickly retreated. It's clean and clean, and there's no mud or water.
Obviously, it is more important to protect yourself than to take the other person's life. It's just that at such a point, what method is needed to end this period of cause and effect?
