Chapter 184: Five Great Families
Early the next morning, a mourning hall was erected at the entrance of the village.
Lingxi and the others went to watch, but it was the first time she had seen such an arrangement—black and white strips of cloth were pulled inside and out, pulled into flowers and folded into waves, and wooden signs were erected in the center of the mourning hall with the names of all the dead villagers written on them.
This is the funeral.
But unlike Lingxi's memory, this funeral gave people a more depressing feeling.
"So many innocent people just died. Lingxi stood in front of the mourning hall and muttered.
A gust of wind blew, and strips of black and white cloth fluttered in the wind, adding to the bleakness of the place.
.......
It didn't take long for a heavy snowfall to fall here, but after noon, it was a fine day with clear skies.
Lingxi didn't have lunch, and they wandered around with the silver.
When she returned to the restaurant, she saw that Tu Yao Immortals, Nanfeng, Bai Junqian, and so on were all in the hall, sitting around a brass brazier, and there were tea stains on several cases on the side.
And the rest of the people in the restaurant have already been kicked out.
As soon as Lingxi entered the lobby of the restaurant, all of them looked at her, making her a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Shin asked, dusting off the frost from his body.
"We're discussing how to find the jade?!" Chang Yuechen said.
Hearing this, Lingxi shifted his gaze to Bai Junqian and Nanfeng, only to see that the two were facing each other, and the atmosphere was very unfriendly, as if they were going to lift the table and fight in the next moment.
When Chang Yuechen saw it, she quickly eased the atmosphere and said, "Now that Lingxi is back, don't argue with the two of you, just ask her which side of the person she is willing to go with?"
"What do you mean?" Lingxi walked to the table and sat down suspiciously, but he didn't dare to look directly at Bai Junqian because of what happened last night.
"Aren't we going to split into two teams to find the jade bi, and we're worried about who will take you. Chang Yuechen said after handing Lingxi a cup of tea.
"That's right, Hong'er, who do you choose?" Nanfeng said, only to see his expression change abruptly, from a look of resentment to mildness.
"......" After Lingxi understood, her heart was clear, it was obvious that she wanted to follow Bai Junqian, but now she was in Nanfeng's territory, in case Nanfeng did something strange to embarrass Bai Junqian and them, it would be bad.
Lingxi hesitated for a while, but it was this hesitation that made Bai Junqian feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, stared at Lingxi for a long time, and saw that Lingxi didn't choose immediately, so he looked away in a somewhat dull mood.
"I'm ......" When Lingxi spoke, Bai Junqian waited with bated breath, but Yin interrupted: "It must be the choice of senior brother and master, right?!"
Then he put his arm around Lingxi's shoulder.
Hearing this, Lingxi raised his head and looked at Yin with an embarrassed smile, and then replied, "...... That's right. ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Bai Junqian's mouth immediately rose, and Nanfeng put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, splashing the tea in all directions.
Everyone sighed.
After a long time, Nanfeng frowned, clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Okay, this matter is settled! ”
The expression on his face was simply sulking, and when Lingxi saw it, he only felt funny.
But that's natural, and the group has been discussing this this morning.
After such a long time, as soon as Lingxi appeared, he chose Bai Junqian and his party so easily, and Nanfeng was naturally unconvinced.
"First of all, you say that you have a clue in your hand. Bai Junqian looked at the teacup in his hand and asked without raising his head.
"Say it first. Nanfeng also said unceremoniously.
Seeing that the two were about to go to war again, Chang Yuechen hurriedly signaled to Lingxi to persuade peace.
Lingxi also paid attention to it immediately, walked over and said warmly: "There is nothing taboo, just two people can say it together." ”
But when everyone heard this, they only felt that Lingxi might as well persuade peace.
"We think that among the five great families, there must be someone with a jade bi in their hands. Nanfeng glanced at the smiling spirit and said.
"That's what we think too. Bai Junqian said, and then took out the jade bi in his arms.
The atmosphere has finally settled down, and we can officially start discussing the matter of Yubi.
After a long time, the group discussed, and then the most important thing was to explain the five great families thoroughly.
Nanfeng also said things that Bai Junqian didn't know, such as the contradictions between several families-
In fact, everyone present knew that these families had supreme power in Yingguo, but the relationship between them was unclear to them.
First of all, the imperial city of Naying Kingdom, to the south is the Nayun family, to the north is the Mo family, and the other three major families also occupy an important geographical location.
However, the southeast side of the imperial city is blocked by a Yangtze River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it will not be surrounded by the five great families.
"This family has always been at odds with what family, and the reason is the ....... power"
"We've also heard of this, but what about the other families?" The Tu Yao Immortal was an impatient, and he couldn't stand the words of the south wind to slow down, so he simply sped up by himself.
After Nanfeng was interrupted, he glanced at Tu Yao, with a little disgust, and then spoke at his own speed: "For example, this Xia family, to be honest, has no strength, but it relies on his status as a royal relative, and has accumulated a lot of money everywhere, and it is said that they are the most wealthy family of the five families. And the one who is most unaccustomed to it is the Mo family, the Mo family was born in the market and the army, and it is the most unaccustomed to luxury and waste and bullying. ”
"Actually, I just hate aristocrats. Chang Yuechen said.
The same can be said. The man with the flask said.
"There are also the Yan family and the Yin family are the two most powerful families among the five major families, needless to say, they must be-for-tat with each other. Whether it's behind the scenes, or on the surface. Nanfeng said after taking a sip of tea.
"What about the Yin family?" Lingxi asked.
Nanfeng looked at Lingxi and smiled slightly, his voice continued to flow: "The Yin family, on the surface, it looks like 'harmless to humans and animals', but in fact, it is the most ruthless behind the scenes, otherwise it would not have gained a foothold in the five great families." Almost every family has a fine work they have installed, and it is impossible to prevent it, so this sound family has been vigilant by the other four major families. ”
"In other words, every family is not easy to mess with. Lingxi said a little distractedly: "Then how can we fight against them? We are such a small number of people, it is easy to die in those families." ”
Nanfeng didn't care about her straightforward words, but laughed and said, "What you said." But it's not impossible......"
Watching Lingxi and Nanfeng talk, the light in Bai Junqian's eyes became resentful, and then he hurriedly suppressed it, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart: Anger and grievance are intertwined?
