Chapter 68: An undercurrent surging
Huang Xinming was entangled with the Wan Zhu Elder of the Ten Thousand Law Sect outside the city at the moment, and both of them were cultivating to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, and neither of them could defeat the other in a short period of time.
The rest of the disciples of the Huang family, when they couldn't escape, would choose to give up resistance, directly hand over the tiger-headed golden sword, and obediently return to the city.
And those disciples of the Wanfa Sect, seeing that they were so cooperative, and because of the relationship between the Huang family and the Wanfa Sect, there was no case of killing the killers, and after snatching the tiger head golden knife from their hands, they brought all the people back to Bingshui City.
At this time, Yan Jingchen saw him take out a tiger-headed golden knife with a gap in the handle from a huge bamboo building, and then put it into his Qiankun bottle and walked towards the south gate of Bingshui City.
"Wanzhu, you and I can't tell the winner if we fight like this, it's better to stop here today, and I'll come to the door another day to ask for advice. Huang Xinming said, lost the tiger-headed golden knife in his hand, and turned back to Bingshui City.
Wan Zhu frowned, grabbed the tiger head golden knife in his hand with primers, and pinched it hard, the golden knife turned into a little subdivision, and was blown by the wind, and all of them dispersed.
"It's another fake knife, what tricks are your Huang family playing? ”
Two days later, Yan Jingchen traveled to Linshan City of the Cangli Empire, and only had the last day's itinerary left from Xianshu City, where the Huang family's home was located.
On that day, he silently killed a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, brought out the real tiger head golden knife from him, and went to the Huang family's residence alone.
This journey went extremely smoothly, and no one from the Wanfa Sect came to stop it.
"Have you heard? Yan Jingchen was walking on the street of Linshan City, and overheard someone next to him say.
"What's the matter? Is there a war breaking out on the border?" asked another.
"No, I heard that it was the order of Wan Zhu, the great elder of the Ten Thousand Law Sect, to drive all the mortals in Bingshui City outside the city, and they were going to fight a decisive battle with the people of the Huang family in the city. ”
When Yan Jingchen heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the person who was talking, and asked, "Didn't you say that the relationship between the Huang family and the Wanfa Sect has always been very good? ”
The man was talking about the excitement, but Yan Jingchen interrupted him like this, and immediately glanced at him with some displeasure, and said, "Who are you? ”
Yan Jingchen politely hugged his fist at them and said: "My name is Wang Hongda, I am from Immortal Emperor City, when I passed by Bingshui City a few days ago, I saw that although they had friction, they were generally still harmonious, how could it have become like this in the past two days." ”
As soon as that person heard that Yan Jingchen was from Immortal Emperor City, his attitude immediately eased a lot, and the status of Immortal Emperor City in the hearts of ordinary people was no less than that of the royal family of his empire.
"It turned out to be an immortal from Immortal Emperor City, who was disrespectful and disrespectful. What you said was three days ago, but now the fact is that Wanfa Sect and the Huang family have completely torn their faces. ”
Yan Jingchen asked puzzledly, "Does Brother Tai know why?"
"It is said that it was the people of the Huang family who killed a disciple of Wanfa Sect in the city, and Elder Wan Zhu came to theorize, but was rejected by Huang Xinming of the Huang family, and said that Wanfa Sect instructed Scar Sect to kill people from their family. The people on both sides couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong for a while, so Wanfa Sect began to clear the city and prepare for a decisive battle with the Huang family. ”
Yan Jingchen nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that Wanfa Sect might have noticed that the Tiger Head Golden Knife was no longer in Bingshui City, so he planned to surround Wei to save Zhao and force the Huang family to hand over the Tiger Head Golden Knife.
Figuring out the general context of the matter, Yan Jingchen immediately rushed to the direction of Xianshu City without stopping.
Finally, in the early morning of the next day, I arrived at the Immortal Book City.
Knock knock.
Yan Jingchen knocked on the door of the Yellow Mansion. After a while, a thin old man came out of it, the old man only showed half of his face, glanced at Yan Jingchen, and said, "The old man is not feeling well today, and he doesn't see any guests, so you can go back." ”
"It was Huang Xinming's predecessor who asked me to come over. ”
When the old man heard this, his expression was obviously stunned, with the current situation in Bingshui City, Huang Xinming was able to send someone out to contact the family, which must have brought something very important.
"Little brother, please come in quickly. The old man hurriedly pulled Yan Jingchen into the door.
Follow the old man all the way into the inner courtyard.
Huang Tianqi, the head of the Huang family, was looking at the news from Bingshui City with a worried brow.
The old man pushed open the door and shouted: "Master, Xinming sent a little brother over, I think there must be something important, so I brought him over." ”
Huang Tianqi's eyes flashed, and he said eagerly: "Hurry up and invite him in." ”
Yan Jingchen entered the door, saw the head of the Huang family behind the table, and said in a flat tone: "Junior, Yan Jingchen of the Lu clan of Immortal Emperor City, meet the head of the Huang family." ”
"Don't be so polite, I heard that you brought the news of Bingshui City, what is it?" Huang Tianqi was a little incoherent because he cared too much.
"There's no update, but I've brought this back. With that, Yan Jingchen took out the tiger-headed golden knife from the Qiankun bottle.
Seeing Yan Jingchen take out the tiger head golden knife, Huang Tianqi fell into deep contemplation, and after a while, he said: "Gather all the people above the level of the Huang family's steward in the Immortal Book City to discuss matters in the ancestral ancestral hall. ”
The old man was ordered by the head of the house. hurriedly retreated, leaving only Yan Jingchen and Huang Tianqi in the room.
"Hey, Xinming, this stupid boy, it's naturally a good thing that the tiger head golden knife can be recovered, but if you want to exchange your life, I'd rather not have this tiger head golden knife." Huang Tianqi sighed and said slowly.
Yan Jingchen didn't answer, because he felt that Huang Tianqi was acting, and this sigh couldn't hear the slightest respect for life, but more like a happy return of the tiger's head golden knife.
Huang Tianqi continued: "On behalf of the entire Huang family of the Cangli Empire, I would like to say thank you to Little Brother Yan, if you have any requirements, just mention it, our Huang family will definitely not frown." ”
Yan Jingchen sneered in his heart, knowing that what he said was kind words on the surface, and the reason why he would help this was mostly for Huang Ziliang's face.
"Now that my task has been completed, I won't bother much, I just hope that the Huang family master can solve the danger of Bingshui City as soon as possible, so that Huang Xinming's predecessors and them can return safely as soon as possible. ”
Huang Tianqi looked puzzled, he didn't understand why the kid in front of him was indifferent to the promise of the Huang family, so he asked, "Oh, you're leaving, but you have something important to do?"
"When I came out of Immortal Emperor City, my tutor asked me to find my senior sister who was traveling before next year's Qingyuan Festival, but I don't have a clue yet, so I have to start as soon as possible. Yan Jingchen told the things that Lu Shengren made up that day, which made people unable to guess the truth or falsehood.
"Then since that's the case, you describe your senior sister's physiognomy and characteristics, and I'll ask the people of the family to help you find it together, which will be faster. ”
Yan Jingchen refused: "The kindness of the Huang family master, the juniors thank you here, but the family teacher hopes that this matter will be carried out secretly, and the fewer people who know, the better, so I'll look for it alone." ”
The words have come to this extent, Huang Tianqi no longer insisted, and after letting people take some money from the mortal world and give it to Yan Jingchen, he let him leave.
Xianshu City, inside Huangyun Restaurant.
Yan Jingchen sat in a guest room by the window, thinking about all the things that had happened since he came out of Immortal Emperor City.
First, there was a sneak attack at night by the Scar Gate, and then there was a halfway interception by the Wanfa Sect, and now it has even evolved into a decisive battle in Qingcheng, coupled with Huang Tianqi's abnormal reaction today, everything has a strange atmosphere.
Could it be that Huang Xinming's team was regarded as an outcast by the Huang family from the beginning, and the secret of this tiger-headed golden knife was also released by the Huang family themselves?
Yan Jingchen couldn't figure it out, so he decided to hide himself and see this matter clearly.
In the middle of the night, everything was as usual in Xianshu City, and nothing changed because of the incident in Bingshui City.
Yan Jingchen jumped out of the room without giving up and wandered around the Immortal Book City.
"Who!" As he turned around a small alley, Yan Jingchen noticed that someone was following him. So he scolded alertly, and then heard the sound of stray footsteps.
"Still want to go?" Yan Jingchen resisted the wind under his feet, and his speed was as fast as if he was about to fly, and he caught the person who was following him in a few breaths.
That person was a child with only the triple realm of the Concentration Dao Realm, about ten years old, white and pure, and at first glance he was a child of a large family.
Yan Jingchen grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up from the ground, and said, "At such a young age, it's not good to practice the Dao Fa, but it's a spy." ”
The kid pouted and said, "I'm not a spy, my name is Huang Zibo, and my father is Huang Xinming." I heard the porter Grandpa Huang say, you ran out of Bingshui City, so I waited for you for a day under the restaurant where you lived. ”
"Then why don't you just go up to me. ”
Huang Zibo thought for a while and said, "I can't say this, my mother told me, as long as I wait for you downstairs, you will definitely come out today." ”
Yan Jingchen put him on the ground and said, "Go back and tell your mother, if you want to know something, don't be so troublesome, just come and ask directly." ”
When Huang Zibo heard this, he cried and said, "You save my mother, she was imprisoned by the family." ”
"Why do you think I can help you?" Today's events are strange everywhere, and Yan Jingchen can't help but not carefully interrogate them.
"Grandpa Huang said that you brought back the tiger head golden knife for the Huang family, and the head of the family will definitely agree to your request, so I came to you. "What Huang Zibo said is very logical, so the key to the problem now is what the position of this porter Huang Old Man is.
"Then you ask your Grandpa Huang back, my brother has something to ask him. ”
Huang Zibo nodded and said, "Okay, you wait for me here, I'll call me Grandpa Huang." ”
With that, he disappeared into the night.
It didn't take long for the old man who took Yan Jingchen to see Huang Tianqi during the day, and led Huang Zibo back.
Yan Jingchen politely hugged his fists and said, "Senior Huang, if you have something to say, I will go out tomorrow to find the whereabouts of my senior sister." ”
The porter Lao Huang smiled slightly and said, "If you knew what happened tonight, you wouldn't leave tomorrow." ”
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw suspicion, suspicion, and temptation in each other's eyes.
At this time, Huang Zibo raised his face to the porter Lao Huang and shouted: "Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang ......"
The old man touched his head, motioned for him to calm down, and then said to Yan Jingchen: "If the little brother wants to help Xinming get out of trouble, tomorrow morning, at the Green Tea House in Dongshikou, I will tell you everything." ”
