Chapter 171: The Zhang Family
The outer city of Xichuan Prefecture.
Tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest prince of the Divine General's Mansion.
The entire outer city of Xichuan Mansion has long been known to everyone.
At this moment, there is a faint sense of inexplicable tension in the outer city, whether it is a downtown area or a residential area, there are guards from the Divine General's Mansion searching almost all the time.
Whether it is a foreign warrior or a person from Xichuan Mansion, they are all puzzled.
But after thinking about it, I don't think there is any problem, after all, tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest prince, and if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, the search of the Divine General's Mansion in the outer city seems to be a matter of course.
The only ones who can escape the search are probably the families living in the outer city.
After Li Lingxu left Shangguan's house, he took Ning Yang into Zhang's house.
Now for this period of time, it is to avoid the pursuit of the Divine General's Mansion until the beginning of the Hidden Dragon Conference.
But what Li Lingxu didn't know was that the four major protectors did not inform the eldest prince of this matter, otherwise, even the Zhang family would not be spared.
The background of the Zhang family is there, and even if the Divine General's Mansion wants to search, it is not so simple.
In this regard, the high-level officials of the Zhang family obviously knew about it for a long time, and they were also very handy in dealing with these guards.
As soon as Li Lingxu returned to Zhang's house, he immediately found a place to heal.
Hardly hit the knife of the capital protection, Rao is that he has practiced the Xiangtian Nine Dragons Technique, and he can't stand it at this moment.
Where the chest collapses, white bones are visible and bloodstained.
Li Lingxu just took a pill that he had refined, and the collapse recovered to a degree that was visible to the naked eye.
The pale face was also a little more bloody.
As long as you cultivate again, you will be able to heal.
Li Lingxu knew that this was the reason why he swallowed the sky in his body.
For some reason, as long as he was injured, every time Swallowing Heaven shuttled through the meridians, the injury would recover at an extremely fast speed.
He looked embarrassed, but he knew that his injuries were only minor.
But this does not mean that the strength of the third-grade grandmaster is low, first of all, it is only a first-grade grandmaster who protects Li Lingxu's cultivation, and Li Lingxu has Shangguan Wan on his back, in order not to hurt Shangguan Wan, he is also somewhat merciful.
In retrospect, Li Lingxu felt that he still underestimated the strength of the other party, and originally thought that the combination of three styles and the thunder sword was enough to win, but the effect was not as good as he imagined.
I didn't think much about it, I cultivated for a while, and when my body was almost recovered.
Li Lingxu also got up and went to the Zhang family's meeting hall, since he was in the Zhang family, the head of the Zhang family still had to go to see him.
Zhang's family.
In the lobby, it was full of people at the moment, and Li Lingxu was also among them.
Sitting in the first place is the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Naiwen.
Zhang Naiwen is a seventy-year-old man, wearing a gray soap robe, looking extremely simple.
Zhang Naiwen glanced at Zhang Heng, then set his eyes on Li Lingxu, a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, and said, "Sect Master Li, right? I have heard Zhang Heng talk about this matter, what a hero is a young man!"
When Zhang Naiwen saw Li Lingxu for the first time, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, he was still too young.
But when he heard that Li Lingxu was able to rescue Shangguan Wan from the hands of the four major protectors, Zhang Naiwen's first reaction at that time was not to believe it.
Who are the four major capital protectors? They are all famous figures for a long time, and they are all brilliant geniuses at the Qianlong Conference many years ago, and they are very likely to reach the ninth rank of the Grandmaster in the future.
However, when he saw that Shangguan Wan did indeed appear in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Naiwen couldn't help but believe it.
His own performance at the Hidden Dragon Conference that year was also very eye-catching, but compared with the four major protectors, it was not half a star, so in the end, he could only take over the position of head of the family in the Zhang family's house.
has lived for more than 200 years, although with old age, qi and blood decay, and his body is no longer what it used to be, Zhang Naiwen's vision is becoming more and more vicious.
At a glance, it was clear that Li Lingxu was a Qi Refiner, and although his aura was a little floating, it was obvious that he had reached the level of a grandmaster.
Li Lingxu didn't know what Zhang Naiwen was thinking in his heart, he just smiled slightly, and politely arched his hand: "Master Zhang, I'm sorry." ”
Zhang Naiwen hesitated for a moment and said, "You're welcome, Sect Master Li, I heard Zhang Heng say that Sect Master Li is from Minglan County?"
Mulian City belongs to Minglan County, and Minglan County is only one of the counties of Xichuan Province.
For these people in Fucheng, what Mulian City has naturally never heard of, and they still deliberately reminded Minglan County to know.
There is no other reason, it's just that the chances of geniuses appearing in these small county towns are really a little small, so they are so unknown.
Li Lingxu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
After saying hello to Zhang Naiwen, Li Lingxu planned to go back first, so he said goodbye and left, and Zhang Naiwen just wanted to see this so-called young man who could fight with the four major protectors, and he didn't keep it.
Zhang Naiwen said with a smile: "Zhang Heng, send Sect Master Li back to rest." ”
Zhang Heng also hurriedly took Li Lingxu back to his residence.
In the entire lobby, only some of the elders of the Zhang family remained.
Zhang Naiwen glanced at everyone and said, "How?
One of the elders said, "Homecoming Lord, I see that this person has a clear background, and it doesn't seem to be someone arranged by the eldest prince. ”
Another voice retorted: "I think this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated, and I can't believe it." ”
Zhang Naiwen frowned, muttered for a long time, and then said: "Our Zhang family has been suppressed by the inner family for so many years, and it was only because we stood on the wrong team that we ended up in this end. ”
"Now in the dispute between the lords, we should not interfere too much, but if someone wants to suppress us, then we also have to let them see if our bones are hard. ”
Every change of the lord of the mansion is an opportunity to reshuffle the cards of the city.
No one wants to leave the forces that oppose them, and the forces below will have to express their stance sooner or later, as early as a hundred years ago, when the previous lord of the mansion was in power, they had already tasted all the hardships, and they had already gained a reputation from the inner family, and the direct line was also changed to a side line.
This time, the Hidden Dragon Conference is just a sign that the major princes are trying to win over the forces below.
A large part of the factors determine who the successor of the future lord of the mansion will be.
In order for the Zhang family to have the right to speak, they did not hesitate to plan with the Shangguan family to rescue Shangguan Wan this time, although it all relied on Li Lingxu's strength, but it had to make people doubt Li Lingxu's intentions.
Every time the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Conference, even the eldest prince of the Divine General's Mansion does not dare to offend easily.
These are the pillars of the Tianlan Dynasty, even if they are the masters of the Divine General's Mansion, they can only remain silent on the surface.
