Chapter 69: The Tragedy of Huang Xinming
Dongshikou Green Tea House.
Yan Jingchen had been thinking about today's events last night, and rationally told him that the Huang family's trip to the troubled waters was not only complicated, but also attracted the attention of others, so that Jiang Yanheng of Immortal Emperor City found traces.
But Huang Xinming is still trapped in Bingshui City, although the two are only friends in Pingshui, but thanks to Huang Xinming's care on the way, he can reach the Cangli Empire smoothly and unhindered, Yan Jingchen's character is like this, if others treat him well, he will repay the other party with ten rewards.
Early morning is the most deserted time in the tea house business, there is only Yan Jingchen in the entire tea house, and the tea has not moved on the table.
After a while, the porter Lao Huang walked in from outside the door, Yan Jingchen got up to greet him to show respect for his elders, and the two sat down one after another.
Lao Huang, the porter, was not tempting this time, but said directly: "Since Little Brother Yan can appear here today, then I won't hide it." ”
"Speaking of which, all of this is a conspiracy of the Ten Thousand Law Sect, and since the secret about the Tiger Head Golden Sword began to spread, they began to lay it out. ”
Yan Jingchen heard the implicit meaning of this sentence and asked, "So, is the secret about the Tiger Head Golden Knife true?"
"That's natural, but this matter is a secret that only the previous heads of the Huang family will know, so ......"
Before he finished his words, Yan Jingchen said, "So you suspect that Huang Tianqi is the first person to spread the secret of the Tiger Head Golden Knife?"
The porter Lao Huang sighed, nodded helplessly, and said: "Although I don't want to believe this, it can be seen from the fact that the head of the family imprisoned Huang Zibo's mother that he is no longer the original head of the family. ”
"What does the senior want me to do? It doesn't look like I can do it. ”
"Early this morning, the head of the family has rushed to Bingshui City, hoping to resolve this conflict with the tiger's head golden knife. ”
Yan Jingchen took a thoughtful sip of tea and said, "It seems that in addition to the Huang family and Wanfa Sect, there should be another group of people involved in this matter, but we haven't found any trace of them yet." ”
The porter's eyes lit up, and he said, "Little Brother Yan really deserves to be a Tianjiao who came out of Immortal Emperor City, and he really saw the problem at a glance." Indeed, and I already have a general idea of their plans. ”
"Please also ask Senior Huang to dial. ”
"I can't talk about it, maybe it won't take a few days, and the people of the whole continent will know about it, just wait for the Tiger Head Golden Knife to reach the hands of Wanfa Sect. ”
Yan Jingchen listened carefully, waiting for the old man to speak again.
"A month before the start of the refiner's grand meeting, Baili Jian, known as the first refiner in the mainland, once visited the Wanfa Sect once, and invited the current head of the Huang family, Huang Tianqi, through the relationship of the sect master of Youhe. ”
When Yan Jingchen heard this, he had something to do with the Baili family at this time, and immediately dispelled his original doubts in his heart, since this matter was related to the Baili family, he had to take care of it.
"As the saying goes, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, from small individuals to large sects and countries. The Huang family wants the immortal cultivation resources in the hands of the Baili family the most, the Wanfa Sect most wants a piece of the Holy Realm Order to stabilize the status of the sixth largest sect in the mainland, and the Baili family is plotting the entire world. ”
"With these three prerequisite elements, combined with the various industries that the Huang family had a few days ago, Wanfazong's salivation for the tiger's head golden knife, and the secret transfer of troops by the royal family of the Cangli Empire, it is not difficult to infer that the Baili family gave the resources of cultivating immortals to the Huang family, and the Huang family reasonably transferred the tiger-headed golden knife to Wanfazong, and these two families persuaded the royal family of the Cangli Empire to prepare to send troops to disturb the balance between the three empires. ”
The concierge Lao Huang's inference was very reasonable, but Yan Jingchen still had one thing that he didn't understand, so he asked, "How to explain the theft of the tiger's head golden knife?"
"There are so many capable people in the world, my set of inferences, maybe someone has already seen through it, so he stole the Huang family's tiger head golden knife and handed it over to the Ning family in Immortal Emperor City, so that the arrangement of the whole thing can be disrupted, so that this three-way transaction cannot continue. ”
When Yan Jingchen heard this, he suddenly thought of the original Jiang family elder that Ning Quan said, could it be him?
Although the focus of the discussion was on the Yak Eye, Yan Jingchen guessed that the village chief should have pretended to say that he had begun to travel to the mainland, and told the elder of the Jiang family about the conspiracy of the Baili family.
The elder of the Jiang family gave Ning Quan the tiger-headed golden knife along with the yak eye, and set conditions that the Huang family, Wanfa Sect, and Baili family could not obtain.
"What about Huang Xinming's predecessors and his wife?" Yan Jingchen found that he had told Lao Huang such a big conspiracy, but he only forgot the original question.
The porter Lao Huang laughed and said, "Those words are all used to scare Huang Zibo, and as soon as the transaction of the Tiger Head Golden Knife is over, they will naturally be fine." ”
Yan Jingchen laughed a few times together, but said in his heart: It's really disrespectful to the old, even a ten-year-old doll has to be calculated.
Two days later, the clouds of the decisive battle hanging over Bingshui City finally dissipated, and Huang Tianqi, the head of the Huang family, calmed down the entire incident at the cost of the tiger's head and golden sword.
As soon as he returned to the city, Huang Xinming immediately found Yan Jingchen, and pulled him in a very unhappy mood and said: "I worked hard and worked hard, but in the end, the tiger head golden knife was still given to Wanfamen, I can't swallow this breath." ”
Yan Jingchen knew the inside story of the whole incident, so he naturally didn't think so, but he comforted him: "Senior Huang, since you have come back safely, you should accompany your uncle at home more." This kid stayed outside my room all night in the middle of the night. ”
Huang Xinming waved his hand and said: "This time I came back from Immortal Emperor City, the Huang family has really changed a lot, the resources of immortal cultivation in the family are several times more than before, and there is no need to worry about this anymore." ”
Seeing his happy appearance, Yan Jingchen even felt for a moment that the head of the Huang family had done the right thing.
Huang Xinming lowered his voice and secretly said to Yan Jingchen: "The secret about the Tiger Head Golden Knife is true. ”
Yan Jingchen pretended not to know and said, "Oh? Senior Huang said to hear it." ”
"I also heard about this matter from the Wanfa Sect, it seems that the head of the family told the sect master of the Wanfa Sect the secret of the tiger-headed golden knife in order to save us. ”
Yan Jingchen continued to ask quietly, "What is the secret of the Tiger Head Golden Knife?"
"What else could it be? Of course, it's the Holy Realm Order, but this matter seems to have spread, and in the past few days since I returned to Immortal Book City, I have heard several ordinary people talking about this matter. ”
Yan Jingchen knew about what he said, and after discussing it with the porter Lao Huang that day, he planned to publicize this matter in a big way, so that the treasure hunting journey of Wanfa Sect would be more variable, and in the final analysis, it was necessary to prevent the war between the three empires.
Since the rise of Li Shenghao, the Holy Emperor of the Yunzhou Empire a hundred years ago, there has never been a war between the three empires.
But there are always some careerists who have been mediating between the three empires in order to achieve a certain goal, such as the Baili family.
War is cruel, and people who have not experienced it always like to look at war through the eyes of heroes. Honor, status, and power are nothing more than show-offs for the victors, and most people are nothing more than pawns sacrificed in war.
Huang Xinming saw that Yan Jingchen didn't speak, so he continued: "I want to invite Saint Yan to follow me to explore the whereabouts of the Holy Realm Order and prevent the Ten Thousand Law Sect from winning the Holy Realm Order. ”
Yan Jingchen asked a little puzzled, "Senior Huang, why are you so concerned about the Ten Thousand Law Sect's seizure of the Holy Realm Order?"
Huang Xinming shook his head with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, I also came out of the Ten Thousand Law Sect, and I am still the same brother and sister as the Ten Thousand Law Sect's Elder Wan Zhu. Today's trouble has reached this level, and it is also a bad fate. ”
Yan Jingchen did not interrupt him, but listened to him quietly.
"When I cultivated to the Yuandao realm in the Wanfa Sect, I was supposed to return to the family to take charge of some affairs, but my master Wan Yunhai gave me a problem and asked me to marry my junior sister Wan Zhu. ”
"At that time, I just wanted to break out of my own career, of course, I refused the master's request, but Wan Zhu Senior Sister is the daughter of the sect leader Wan Youhe, and I was rejected by a kid from the Huang family, so I was naturally furious, in order to calm this matter, the head of the family even gave the Huang family's most important Dingdao stone mine to Wanfa Sect, and since then, I swear that I will never let Wanfa Sect take a little advantage in my Huang family. ”
Huang Xinming said very calmly, but Yan Jingchen heard between the lines of his words the resoluteness of seeing death as home.
If Huang Xinming told him about this matter when he was in Bingshui City, he might not hesitate to agree, but with the incident of the Tiger Head Golden Knife, Yan Jingchen had to re-examine Huang Tianqi, the head of the Huang family.
What kind of person is this, today he can give away the family inheritance for the immortal cultivation resources of the Baili family. Then maybe it was also for some ulterior thing back then, and a Dingdao stone mine was sent.
Yan Jingchen didn't want to tell Huang Xinming these things, after all, internal stability is the most basic foothold condition for a big family.
Just as the two were talking, Huang Zibo ran over from outside and shouted in a milky voice: "Dad, you said that when you come back, you will accompany the child to practice, how can you talk and not count." ”
Huang Xinming said with a smile: "How to talk doesn't count, let's practice now." ”
With that, he said goodbye to Yan Jingchen and returned to the Huang family's mansion with Huang Zibo in his arms.
Late at night, Yan Jingchen was meditating and practicing in the guest room of the restaurant, and he only planned to observe the matter of the Ten Thousand Law Sect's search for the Holy Realm Order, and he had no idea of snatching it.
Although the Holy Realm Order was also very important to him, he didn't want to reveal his details so quickly, and the fewer people who knew about the Babel Tree, the better.
A rush of footsteps came, Yan Jingchen's diffusion consciousness swept away, and the person who came turned out to be the porter Lao Huang.
What is the matter with him coming to find himself? Yan Jingchen got out of bed full of doubts, opened the door, and stood at the door to greet him.
As soon as Lao Huang went upstairs, he saw Yan Jingchen waiting for him, walked a few steps into the room, then closed the door, and made a silent gesture at Yan Jingchen.
Yan Jingchen knowingly arranged a soundproof magic array, and said, "I don't know what happened when my predecessors came to visit late at night?"
The corners of Lao Huang's eyes twitched, his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light, and he said: "Huang Xinming's family was all killed, including Huang Zibo, and none were left. ”
