Chapter 45: Shock
Suddenly, almost overnight, the news of the Hanyumen and Vientiane Cave Heaven joining forces to capture the Huoyun Sect spread throughout the entire Qingshan Mansion, and all the forces were shaken.
Fucheng, Governor's Palace.
Hou Yan came back, kneeling in the hall, Zhu Tong, who was dressed in plain clothes, sat in the hall, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were calm.
The news of Zhu Mu's death has spread, and Vientiane Dongtian has also sent the body to Fucheng, and the murderer is naturally a person from the Huoyun Sect.
Hou Yan's whole body fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head.
When he escaped from the pharmacy, he found that someone was following him, but after all, his cultivation was not low, and he had been mixed with the dark before, so he was very familiar with the way of vigilance and escape, and he really let him escape from Vientiane City.
After escaping from Vientiane City, he did not flee Qingshan Mansion immediately, but found a place to hide first.
Later, the news that Hanyumen and Vientiane Dongtian teamed up to capture the Huoyun Sect spread wildly, and it was even rumored that Zhu Muli Qianjiang, as well as Nangong Yuwu Jiangyun and others of the Huoyun Sect, were all killed by Zhou Teng, a disciple of the Hanyumen, which shocked him and made him see hope.
After thinking about it again, he was still a little unwilling, so he ventured back to Zhu Tong's side.
Now that Zhu Muli Qianjiang is dead, everything is dead without proof, plus those rumors, it is beneficial to him, maybe he can be reused by the second manager, so he is back.
This is also related to his temperament, he has never been a timid person, and when he sees an opportunity, he can immediately seize it, which is why he did not hesitate to attack Li Qianjiang.
"You mean, Mu'er let you stay outside the city to answer it, so you escaped. Zhu Mu glanced at him.
"Back to the Steward, that's exactly what happened. Hou Yancheng was terrified, his only grandson was dead, and he knew how angry Zhu Tong was at the moment.
These are all repeatedly scrutinized before he came back, and he thinks that there are no flaws, since there are already rumors that Zhu Muli and Qianjiang were killed by Zhou Teng, he doesn't have to be afraid to keep it secret, it's a big deal not to admit it, he doesn't believe that Zhou Teng still dares to confront him.
As for the rest of the matter, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to say anything, the more he said, the more he was afraid of revealing any flaws.
"Cha Hui's illegitimate son!" Zhu Tong's face was treacherous, with jealousy.
He knows Zha Hui very well, and the probability of this situation is very low, but it is not impossible.
At this moment, the subordinate announced, "My lord, someone has come from the palace, let you go." ”
Zhu Tong nodded and looked at Hou Yan underground, "Come with me, if you look for me at this time, you must ask about Hanyumen." ”
"See the lord of the mansion!" Hou Yan was frightened when he heard this.
"Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. Zhu Tong got up silently and walked out of the hall.
Hou Yan couldn't, he could only keep up, he regretted it now, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to come back.
It didn't take long to arrive at the palace, and there was no need to report it, after all, he was the second head of the palace, and he had great power, and Hou Yan didn't dare to look at it casually, so he followed Zhu Tong carefully.
When he arrived at the main hall, Zhu Tong hurriedly knelt down, and Hou Yan didn't even dare to raise his head.
On the high position, Situ Zhen looked down, and the chief steward Zha Hui stood beside him.
"Get up. ”
Situ Zhen's face was expressionless, and after Zhu Tong and the others got up, he asked slowly, "I heard that your grandson died in Vientiane City?"
The principals of Hanyumen and Vientiane Cave Heaven in Fucheng had already sent reinforcements to Fucheng as soon as possible, and Situ Zhen also made a decision and sent three deacons who were at the peak of foundation building to assist in guarding the town.
The capture of the Huoyun Sect by the two factions is naturally a great thing for the city, but Situ Zhen cannot be blind and deaf, and at the same time as sending a master, he immediately let people investigate all the details.
At the right time, news spread in Fucheng, saying that the marriage between the two factions and the attack on the Huoyun Sect were all facilitated by a personal disciple named Zhou Teng of Hanyumen, not only that, but this personal disciple named Zhou Teng even killed Zhu Mu Nangong Yu and others.
Who is Zhu Mu, Fucheng has long understood, although the intention is not very clear, but it can also have a general direction.
As the lord of a mansion, it is impossible for Situ Zhen to make everyone absolutely loyal to him, everything that should be given will be given, people, everyone has selfishness, what he means is that if Zhu Mu can really control the Hanyu Gate, it will not be too late to knock on it when the time comes.
Zhu Tong's face was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth again, and said, "It's not a pity that the evil obstacle is dead, and he dares to intervene in the contest between the certification sects without his own strength." ”
Situ Zhen was a little surprised, and continued to ask: "I heard that your grandson was killed by a person named Zhou Teng, and this marriage between the two factions, as well as the attack on the Huoyun Sect, was also this Zhou Teng's strategy?"
"The old slave was terrified, and knew very little about what was going on over there. Zhu Tong hurriedly explained, and then pointed to Hou Yan, "He has followed the evil obstacle in Hanyumen for some time, and he knows the situation over there better." ”
After speaking, he peeked at Situ Town, he knew Situ Zhen's intention to recruit him before he came, and it was impossible for him to admit that he paid too much attention to Hanyumen's side.
"Oh?" Situ Zhen looked at the waiter.
Hou Yan didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said what he said to Zhu Tong again.
"Bastard!" Situ Zhen looked at Zha Hui beside him with surprise.
Zha Hui smiled bitterly and hurriedly bowed, "Mansion master, the old slave is used to having no wife and no children, and this illegitimate son doesn't dare to recognize it." ”
Situ Zhen laughed, Cha Hui still trusted him, but he just thought that this Zhou Teng was a little interesting.
Hou Yan was a little surprised, Zhu Tong had instructed him on the way before he came, so that he didn't have to hide everything, he knew what to say, and he naturally knew what he shouldn't say.
But Zhu Tong looked at Zha Hui intentionally or unintentionally, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Well, since this is already the case, please mourn. Situ Zhen understated, and then waved his hand, "Go down." ”
Zhu Tong hurriedly took Hou Yan to retreat, and as soon as they left, Situ Zhen looked at Zha Hui and asked, "What do you think?"
There are no outsiders, Zha Hui is not so particular, and the relationship between him and Situ Zhen is not comparable to ordinary masters and servants, and he said: "If the rumors are true, this Zhou Teng is a character, not only can he resolve the crisis of Hanyumen, but also can retreat into advance, kill Zhu Mu, Nangong Yu, Wujiangyun and others, and then promote the marriage of the two factions to capture the Huoyun Sect, he is indeed a talent, and now the three factions are one, which is good for our side." ”
Situ Zhen nodded, this is exactly the situation he was looking forward to seeing, when he was still a lieutenant, he secretly broke through the Jindan period, but he was discovered by the previous lord of the mansion, and he wanted to attack him, so he had to strike first and cooperate with the martial arts family in order to take the position.
But what happened after that was as he expected, it was easy to invite the gods and difficult to send the gods, and after all these years of development, the martial arts family has become the biggest hidden danger.
The martial artist's choice to let the Huoyun Sect marry the Vientiane Cave Heaven when the spiritual realm opened this time was that he was sure that he would not dare to interfere with the strict orders taken at the state and county levels.
"If the rumors are true, then this Zhou Teng does have some ability, if he can fight directly with the martial arts, it should be very exciting. Situ Zhen paced slowly.
Cha Hui hurriedly came up with an idea: "You can let him come to Fucheng when he pays his salary, if he is really capable, let him fight with the martial arts, if he has a false appearance, he will be executed to appease Zhu Tong's side." ”
In the final analysis, Cha Hui still minds a little that he is being used, and he is not a person who can be used by anyone, so it is impossible to act as if nothing has happened.
Situ Zhen laughed again and quipped, "You, you're really a cautious person." ”
Zha Hui waisted and smiled bitterly and did not answer.
Situ Zhen laughed and agreed: "But then again, old man, your method is really good." In this way, let him come when he pays the New Year, and then you will secretly send this news to the martial family. ”
Zha Hui understood, there are many secret sentinels of the martial artists here in Fucheng, as long as the news is released, the martial arts side is afraid that they will not be indifferent.
Out of the palace, Zhu Tong's face was ugly, but at the same time, he was relieved that Situ Zhen did not attack on the spot, indicating that this matter was over.
Back at the governor's mansion, Hou Yan stood with his hands tied and asked cautiously, "My lord, what should you do with that Zhou Teng?"
Hou Yan was still a little worried, and wanted to borrow the hand of the second manager to kill Zhou Teng as soon as possible.
Zhu Tong thought for a while, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Don't worry about this matter for now, naturally someone wants to kill him more than us." ”
Tianyi City.
It's not big in a boxy area, and it doesn't have the same prosperity as other castles, and it's really just the residence of the samurai family.
If Fucheng is the center of Qingshan Mansion, then Tianyi City is like an alternative Fucheng.
Samurai main hall.
On the left and right sides sat seven or eight old men and women, all of whom were in charge of each room of the martial arts, and they were all at the peak of the foundation.
Wu Yuanjia was dressed in black armor and iron armor, armed from head to toe, which was very different from others.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Wu Yuanjia, who was sitting at the top, opened his eyes, and the depth was like a thunderbolt, as if a round of tomorrow was hanging there.
He had already retreated, just to break through the middle stage of Jindan in one fell swoop, but Wu Yuanjia and the others didn't dare to hide such a big thing, so they reported it.
Beside him, Wu Da, the head of the big house, stood and shook his head slightly at Wu Yuanjia.
"It's all the grandson's bad behavior, and please ask the ancestor to punish him!"
Wu Yuanjia didn't dare to shirk, and told him what he knew so far, he was the current head of the family and Wu Yuanji's own grandson, if something happened and he shirked his responsibility, it would make the other porters unconvinced.
Although Wu Yuanji is the strongest existence in the martial family, the other rooms are all in the same vein as the martial family, and their ancestors are all Wu Yuanji's own brothers, but Wu Yuanjia has broken through the Jindan period and his life span has more than doubled.
Intervening in the refining of spiritual weapons in the Huoyun Sect can be said to be the top priority, now that the Huoyun Sect has been destroyed, Nangong is being killed, decades of planning have come to naught, and he Wu Yuanjia has an unshirkable responsibility.
"The head of the family doesn't have to blame himself, who would have thought that the Vientiane Cave Heaven would actually turn against the water. ”
Someone in the other room came out to speak for Wu Yuanjia, not that he really wanted to excuse him, but purely because he knew that this was just a formality, could he really do what Wu Yuanjia could do.
Others also know that they are in harmony and sell a favor.
Wu Yuanji didn't know, but there was still to be a form, if it wasn't punished, after a long time, people's hearts would be scattered, and people's hearts would be scattered, and that would be a big trouble.
Then he spoke, "You have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, but in the special situation now, I will punish you with a thousand spirit stones, and you can be convinced." ”
Wu Yuanjia hurriedly replied, "Grandson has no complaints, thank you for your kindness, thank you brothers!"
The other rooms were slandered in their hearts, although the penalty of a thousand spirit stones was heavy, but Wu Yuanjia was the head of the family, and he had a lot of benefits, and it was not painful, but everyone understood people, and they didn't break it.
Seeing this, Wu Yuanji nodded, "This matter is like this for the time being, the spiritual realm is about to open, let's not act rashly, so as not to be used by Situ Zhen to play on the topic, everything will be talked about after I break through." ”
Everyone hurriedly agreed, and as soon as everyone left, Wu Da called Wu Yuanjia, "Second brother, stay." ”
