Chapter 36: The Forces of Zhongzhou (Mysterious Letter)
Although it is approaching evening, the holy city of Zhongzhou is still very lively, as if it never stops, and the lights of thousands of homes in the holy city will always exude light and heat in the center of Danwu in this dark night when darkness is about to fall.
In a magnificent mansion, the eaves of the luxurious and atmospheric houses, and the high lanterns are also brightly lit. In a lavishly decorated room, a Humpty Dumpty man sat on a huge chair covered with several layers of unknown monster fur, which looked very soft. Humpty Dumpty enjoyed it, and beside him were two beautiful marrymen, one in front of the other, feeding him food. This person is none other than Jiang Kun, who he met in the Huangfu Capital City!
After Jiang Kun returned home, he was not only beaten by his sister because he messed up the things his sister gave him, but also sent him back to the family. Looking at the courtyard around him, the fat on Jiang Kun's face couldn't help but be full of sorrow, now he hasn't been out of this courtyard for more than three years, and he has been guarded by the people sent by Jiang's father, and the only people who can talk to Jiang Kun are the two wives around him......
But for some reason, no matter how hard Jiang Kun worked hard, and even sang every night, the stomachs of the two delicate mothers just didn't move, which made Father Jiang angry and anxious. The angry Jiang's father first blamed Jiang Kun for being incompetent, and secondly, he had the determination to conquer the battlefield again before he was old, and planned to take time to have another son......
"Alas......" Jiang Kun sighed again, looking at the full moon in the sky, it seemed that only this full moon could understand him.
Just when Jiang Kun's case was ridiculing and missing the beautiful nightlife outside Jiang's mansion, there was a sudden bang! A woman in a hurry walked in, hugged her fist at Jiang Kun, and said unceremoniously: "Young Master, Miss asked me to visit you!"
"My sister?" Jiang Kun glanced at the maidservant, and then said angrily: "You have it! She has been locked up here for three years, three years... My whole person has degenerated, and recently I have been looking at the female monkey and I feel that my eyebrows are clear, do you know......"
After Jiang Kun finished speaking, the servant girl snorted lightly, then glanced at Jiang Kun's waist with contempt, and then shook her head.
"Hey, what kind of attitude are you! Don't think that if you are her person, I won't dare to touch you! I've been holding back my anger for three years, if my son gets angry, the king of heaven can't stop it!!!" Jiang Kun suddenly roared like thunder.
The maid was not frightened by Jiang Kun's words, but hurriedly took out a letter and put it on the table in front of Jiang Kun, and then said to Jiang Kun: "Miss asked me to tell you that he is here! I want you to give him this letter and the invitation in it, and invite him to the dinner party held by Miss Dan!" After the maid finished speaking, she turned her head and left, walking so chic and resolute.
"He?" Jiang Kun's pair of thief's little eyes closed slightly, but suddenly Jiang Kun's eyes widened and then suddenly murmured: "Brother-in-law!! he is alive! He is alive......" Jiang Kun's face was full of incredulity, but he instantly became ecstatic.
"Hahahaha......" Jiang Kun raised his head to the sky, and then shouted in ecstasy: "I, Jiang Kun, can gallop the Holy City again, those little guys in the Eastern Regions, if it weren't for my sister to stop me, Ben Shao would have razed you to the ground a long time ago!Hmph!!"
Dongfang Xue took Shen Mengli back to the inn just now, Shen Mengli followed Dongfang Xue into Dongfang Xue's room, just when Dongfang Xue was about to take Shen Mengli into the ghost abyss and refine a few more bottles of marrow washing liquid, suddenly Dongfang Xue frowned and looked at the door that had just closed. Shen Mengli glanced at Dongfang Xue suspiciously, holding Dongfang Xue's arm at a loss.
Bang bang bang...... There was a brief knock on the door. Dongfang Xue put down Shen Mengli's arm, and then gently opened the door, only to see a woman standing at the door, this woman was dressed in white, and the left chest of her shirt was embroidered with a golden Dan character.
"Are you?" Dongfang Xue looked at the woman in front of her suspiciously, and then asked.
The woman smiled at Dongfang Xue, then saluted again, and then asked, "But Dongfang Gongzi?"
Dongfang Xue nodded, and then hurriedly asked, "I am, are you?"
The woman took out a letter from her sleeve, then handed it to Dongfang Xue and said: "The day before my young lady's apprenticeship ceremony, that is, tomorrow, I specially set up a banquet to invite young people from all over Danwu to gather, and I hope that the son will come without hesitation!" After finishing speaking, the woman handed the letter in her hand to Dongfang Xue, and then turned around and left.
"Hey!" Dongfang Xue wanted to leave the woman behind, and asked her who the young lady was, but when she looked up, she saw that the woman just now had already disappeared.
Shen Mengli stepped forward and gently grabbed Dongfang Xue's arm, glanced at the letter in Dongfang Xue's hand, Dongfang Xue gently opened the envelope, and saw that there was an invitation card inside, which was written as an invitation to the banquet, and the name of the inscription, the name of the inscription was written with the word Danluo......
"Danluo... Luoluo ......" Dongfang Xue muttered in her mouth, but her heart was like a monstrous wave, and she couldn't help but become ecstatic on her face, and asked back and forth in her heart: Could it be her... Could it be her......
Shen Mengli naturally noticed the joy on Dongfang Xue's face, and couldn't help but look at Dongfang Xue with resentment and asked, "Who is this Danluo?"
Dongfang Xue glanced at Shen Mengli, because she was too happy in her heart, she kissed Shen Mengli directly on the forehead, and then explained to Shen Mengli: "I'm not sure yet, I can't know if it's her ...... until I see it tomorrow."
Because of Dongfang Xue's kiss, Shen Mengli's face became a little better, and he became blushing, and the two were just about to close the door, when suddenly another figure appeared in front of Dongfang Xue's door. Reading the Book House
"Childe and slow!" the person who came was also a woman.
Dongfang Xue and Shen Mengli looked at the outsiders suspiciously, but they were a little afraid in their hearts, what the hell is going on, it hasn't been two days since a few of them came here, how can anyone come to the door......
Dongfang Xue clenched her fist at the visitor, and then asked, "What's the matter with Miss?"
The person who came smiled at Dongfang Xue, and then said with the same salute: "My young master knows that Gongzi is here, so he specially sent an invitation to invite Gongzi to gather together for a dinner party held by Miss Dan tomorrow!"
Dongfang Xue and Shen Mengli glanced at each other suspiciously, and then accepted the letter in the woman's hand. After the woman left, Dongfang Xue opened the envelope and saw that there was also an invitation inside, but the signature on this invitation was a Jiang character. In just a moment, Dongfang Xue flashed in her mind a short and dumpty man who was one meter six tall and had a pockmarked face and a red nose.
"Jiang Kun......" Dongfang Xue muttered, "He is also here......"
"Who?" asked Shen Mengli as he stared at Dongfang Xue with a pair of eyebrows.
Dongfang Xue looked at Shen Mengli and explained: "It's nothing, it's just a friend who is a friend......
Shen Mengli nodded, and did not continue to ask. The two closed the door, and Shen Mengli entered the ghost abyss with Dongfang Xue.
When she came to the small attic of the ghost abyss, Dongfang Xue did not go to find the Thousand Souls Ancient Tree, because the Soul Tree had warned Dongfang Xue to go back after three or five days, and Dongfang Xue was going to refine the marrow washing liquid this time, and Dongfang Xue had already memorized the refining process of the marrow washing solution, so there was no need to bother the soul pulling ancient tree.
Dongfang Xue took out the big ding and put it on the ground, Shen Mengli sat aside, and as the fire lit, Dongfang Xue also began his refining. Shen Mengli looked at the white-haired man standing by the fireside, his eyes were full of little stars, in Shen Mengli's heart, the height of Dongfang Xue was simply a step higher from the previous majesty. The talent of martial arts is outstanding, and Dan Dao can also do the same, he is simply an all-rounder!
"Li Er......" Dongfang Xue shouted to Shen Mengli while refining the pill.
Shen Mengli's face changed, and then immediately returned to normal and replied to Dongfang Xue: "What's wrong, do you want me to help?"
"No! I heard you and Uncle Shen both talk about the hundred schools in Zhongzhou, what are the hundred schools? What are the big forces in Zhongzhou? I still don't know anything about this, now that I have nothing to do, you can tell me, so that I can have a spectrum in my heart!" Dongfang Xue explained to Shen Mengli.
"Hundred ...... schools" Shen Mengli muttered, and then explained to Dongfang Xue: "There are nearly tens of thousands of small forces in Zhongzhou, and the top forces recognized by the entire Zhongzhou are these hundred families, and the hundred families are a hundred families distributed in Zhongzhou, most of which have hundreds or even a thousand years of inheritance. ”
"Just like the Leng family I mentioned that day, as well as the Qi family of Qi Ming, and the Huangfu family you mentioned, they are all among the hundred families, but I don't know all of them, some of them are relatively low-key, and the world rarely hears rumors about them, and the Leng family is like this. Shen Mengli explained to Dongfang Xue while reminiscing.
"In addition to the hundred schools, there are a total of ten major islands in the Sifang Sea area surrounding Zhongzhou, in addition to Kaiyang Island, Yaoguang Island, and Bingling Island in the Eastern Sea, there are a total of seven islands in other sea areas, and our ten major islands should be about the same as the power of the hundred schools in Zhongzhou. After Shen Mengli finished speaking, he saw that Dongfang Xue had already refined a bottle of marrow washing liquid, and at this moment Dongfang Xue was filling the marrow washing liquid into the bottle.
After loading, Dongfang Xue turned her head to look at Shen Mengli and asked, "What about the other things?"
"Other than that......" Shen Mengli thought for a moment, and then continued: "In addition, there are some top forces, above the hundred schools, Zhongzhou has a sentence to describe these behemoths!"
Dongfang Xue stopped what she was doing, and then looked at Shen Mengli suspiciously, only to see Shen Mengli muttering to Dongfang Xue while reminiscing: "One Dan and one martial arts, one village, one pavilion and one floor." Two cases and three gates, 100 families and 10 islands in Zhongzhou!"
"What do you say?" Dongfang Xue asked as she looked at Shen Mengli suspiciously.
"You wait!" Shen Mengli interrupted Dongfang Xue, and then muttered recalled, "You let me think about it first......
Dongfang Xue nodded, he was not in a hurry, then he continued to work on the marrow washing liquid in his hand, and put another medicinal herb into the Ding furnace, under the vigorous furnace fire, the medicinal herb instantly collapsed, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance......
