Chapter 274: A Late Letter
The profession of beggar seems to have never disappeared, and for normal people, most of them will not pay much attention, and it is not uncommon to encounter detours.
Therefore, when a beggar appeared on the street, no one would pay attention to it, and those miscellaneous servants would naturally block the outside, and if they dared to beg brazenly, they might even be beaten. But this beggar was the brazen kind, and the threats of the handymen with their fists were useless, and at last they caught the attention of the intestines, and let the handymen go to work, and took out some loose silver and threw it away, and turned and left.
"Wait, wait!" The beggar hurriedly shouted, "I'm not asking for money, I'm here to find someone, Duan Qing, called Duan Qing, is the person who lives in this house..."
"Huh?" The intestine turned his head suspiciously, looking at the beggar's anxious appearance, but he may not have cleaned himself for too many days, no matter what he was wearing or what, it was no different from a beggar, but what was he holding in his hand?
Seeing that the intestines stopped, the beggar hurriedly continued: "That's right, I'm here to find a person named Duan Qing, I just heard someone shouting Duan Hall Master, I don't know if it's him?"
"Who are you?" asked the intestine vigilantly, he had lived here for more than ten years, and the beggar had seen a lot, but he had never seen this person, because the beggar had almost no food to spare for the night, and the mobility was very small.
The beggar said: "My name is Wang Miao, I am from Centennial City, I am not a monk, I..."
"Who are you Wang Peng?" Hearing this surname, the intestines had an extra heart in their hearts, interrupting him and asking.
Wang Miao said: "Wang Peng is a descendant of the Wang family in Centennial City, do you know him? But I am not the Wang family, I am just a small family, although the ancestors have also been beautiful, but we have never produced a monk in this lineage, and it has been more than two hundred years since we were separated from the family, our whole family is now ordinary people, but I have a distant cousin, named Wang Le, she asked me to send a letter to Duan Qing..."
"Wang Le?" the intestines were slightly stunned, and then said, "Don't say it, you have found the right person." Come with me, and you can tell me what's going on on the way. ”
Wang Miao was surprised and delighted, it turned out that he lived in Centennial City, and received a package two months ago, which was sent by the Dart Bureau, and there was a letter in it, which was written by Wang Le himself, so that he hurriedly set off to Ethereal City, and gave another letter in the package to a person named Duan Qing, with an address on it, and a large number of entanglements. Although Wang Miao has not been far away, there are occasional correspondence with Wang Le, after all, they are relatives, and sometimes she will have a silver ticket in the letters, although the denomination is not too big, it is also a lot of wealth for ordinary people.
Therefore, Wang Miao's family has a very good impression of Wang Le, just because he doesn't have a single monk in his family, it is not easy to climb, so he did not send the juniors to the main family that has been separated for two hundred years.
Wang Miao did not delay, immediately bought horses, prepared dry food, and started the first journey, but he did not expect to be robbed of the horses and coiled by horse thieves in less than two days after leaving the city, and the letter was discarded aside, Wang Miao did not dare to delay when he picked it up, and began to walk. This walk, it took half a month, and finally arrived in Ethereal City.
But the house on the address has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one at all, he asked someone to inquire, saying that Duan Qing offended the big man and is dead. He was very depressed and wanted to return home, but there was nothing to be told, and those in the wilderness were afraid that they would be eaten by wild beasts if they did not starve to death, and for a time they became beggars, but they still came to the house every day, hoping that one day they would make new discoveries.
In fact, people are like this, when despair is imminent, there is always a trace of illusion, but what he didn't expect was that the house was burned clean by the fire, and in frustration, he heard that there was a caravan that was going to leave Centennial City, although it would not take him, but it was always a safe sustenance to follow behind, just when he was about to go out, the wind direction in the city changed, and someone talked about Duan Qing, he was immediately stunned, and wanted to inquire, but in exchange for a few kicks, he kicked him out.
Hurriedly ran back to the house in Nancheng, found that there were signs of groundbreaking, stepped forward to inquire, and before he got close, he was driven out by the miscellaneous servants with sticks, he was just an ordinary person, those miscellaneous servants in the Jindan period were omnipotent immortals in his eyes, where did he dare to hesitate, but he heard those big men from afar, talking about how to build, how to satisfy Duan Qing.
He was so excited that he didn't even go to beg, so he began to wait in this area, but he didn't expect to really wait, because he had a portrait.
Looking at Wang Miao, who was crumbling but full of excitement, his intestines said: "It's really not easy for you, it's almost a fate to catch up with our death." Wait a minute, you finish the porridge first, nourish your stomach, wash it and rest, I'll go tell Brother Duan about it. ”
"Something to eat, great, more!" Wang Miao's eyes lit up, but his intestines just smiled faintly, and only gave a bowl of gruel, he had seen a few scenes of sons and brothers molesting beggars, good wine and meat were offered, the beggar devoured it, but his body couldn't bear it, and he died in pain after a while, and he died directly.
After arranging Wang Miao, the intestine went to Juxian Tower, and in the compliments of the family heads and hall masters, the intestine said about it, and at the same time took out the letter and amulet.
Hearing this, Duan Qing, who had grabbed the talisman, couldn't help frowning, opened the letter, ignored the dirt and torn corners on it, and looked at it directly: "Brother Duan Qing, my little sister is in trouble, if you have time, please come and help." Wang Lejing. ”
The letter was very short, there were no superfluous statements, not a word of politeness, and there was no date, Duan Qing asked at the moment, "How long has Wang Miao been in Ethereal City?"
The intestines counted and said, "More than a month, almost two months." ”
"Oh no..."Duan Qing narrowed his eyes for a moment, and then said: "Take Wang Miao to Tangkou immediately, you have to ask him Wang Le's address, because I want to take him away, let Brother Lan and Jin Lian prepare, you and the flies lead the team to ride off, four horses each, don't be afraid of tired horses, I hope it's still too late!"
"Yes!" the intestines immediately clenched into fists, revealing a smell of iron and blood.
Duan Qing didn't even greet the many family heads, and left in a hurry.
A quarter of an hour later, the starship in the Hall of Stars soared into the sky.
......
There is a Phoenix Mountain in the distance of hundreds of miles outside the hundred-year-old city, as high as more than 300 zhang, the peak is misty all the year round, and the strong trees show that the aura here is sufficient.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a huge platform, as if it was cut out by an ancient immortal with a sharp sword, and a series of buildings are built on it. In terms of area, it is not smaller than those third-rate sects, and in terms of architecture, even second-rate sects may not be able to catch up. A king-shaped banner flutters in the wind, indescribably magnificent.
At this time, it was already late at night, with clouds and no wind.
Hundreds of clan guards, armed with torches and swords, blocked the water around the entire family station, and under the light of the rising torches, even the banner of the king was lowered and listless.
In the square in front of the main house, five middle-aged people gathered together and were whispering something. Behind them were seven or eight young men, their swords unsheathed, neatly draped, and full of spirit, and when they occasionally exchanged expressions, they all revealed a sense of pride. It's just that no matter how you look at it, most of their pride is the element of raising eyebrows.
Finally, after the five middle-aged people finished speaking, one of them, a middle-aged man with an elegant face and a fairy breath all over his body, stood up, and said loudly at the open door of the main house: "Wang Le, you are now the only bloodline in your family, do you have to cut off the incense? How can your dead parents and brothers be comforted? Isn't it good to live?"
Silent.
The middle-aged man waited for a moment, but did not get any response, he glanced back at the others, and then continued: "Fang Cai, we have made a decision, we will not force you, we will still leave you half a day to think about it, and if you still refuse to agree at that time, we will attack." This is your choice, and it is also a decision that we are forced to make, and any consequences should be borne by you. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he frowned slightly and waited, and the rest of the people were all looking forward to it, they all knew that launching a fire attack in the clan land would not only be powerful, but also destroy the thousand-year-old foundation of the Wang family, although this family was more and more withered, and it was no longer the strength that could compete with the first-class sect in its heyday hundreds of years ago, but the accumulation of thousands of years, even if it is a fallen leaf, there will be a thick layer, let alone a family?
"Burn it, even if it is burned out, I will not let you succeed, Sixth Uncle, Your Excellency Wang Fusheng. ”
After a long time, a crisp and cold voice came from the main house, it was Wang Le, at this time she was holding the patriarch's order in her hand, embedded in a mechanism, just half an inch in front of her index finger, it was a palm-sized button. What makes Wang Fusheng, who has gradually become stronger and stronger, is afraid of this button, only those who hold the patriarch's order have the permission to open it, and it can be activated.
However, this is not the Great Guardian Array, that mechanism has long been controlled by Wang Fusheng's people, and this button is a self-destruct device, once pressed, the formation will be activated immediately, and the entire main house will fall apart, and no one will survive, which is also the reason why all the people in Wang Fusheng are standing outside the edge of the main house.
"It's not what we want it to be. You know, we're a family after all!"
Wang Fusheng sighed heavily, showing his heartache, and then said: "Although your family is a descendant, but the people are withering, not to mention the talents, if it continues, the thousand-year-old Wang family will be completely crushed by the wheel of history, and we are completely considering the future of the family before we make such a plan." This is helpless, but it is also necessary. ”
"Helpless?" the woman's sneer was full of mockery, but it was so desolate, "When my father was alive, who of you said half a word? In addition to being respectful and flattering all day long, it is ridiculous that my father actually went into the mountains to collect the 10,000-year-old soul revival grass guarded by the ninth-level demon beast Tianlingjiao for the sake of Pan Hua's cousin-in-law, who was fakely ill, and was seriously injured, and when he was healing, he was easily poisoned by you. ”
In the square, no one answered, and the middle-aged man who had obtained the Soul Rejuvenation Grass and greatly increased his skills couldn't help but burn a little, but his face only showed a faint smile, and he didn't say a word.
Wang Le said: "My father is indeed not a qualified patriarch, because he is not resolute and ruthless to nip the threat in the bud. He even knew that you Pan Hua was deliberately infected with poison, but he still refused to watch you die. My mother once told him, but he didn't believe it, he said that everyone is a family, how could they do such a thing. Don't believe the slander of outsiders and destroy the harmony of the family. He died, and for the next three years, my mother and two brothers died unexpectedly, and I think if I were a boy, I wouldn't be alive today. ”
Wang Fusheng smiled silently and said calmly: "This is indeed a mistake on my part. But I was also deceived by your beautiful appearance of not caring about the world, even the three Yu Wenfei I arranged by your side didn't notice anything unusual, they grew up with you since childhood, the last time you went out, you came back, but they never heard from you again. I have to admit that from this point on, as a patriarch, you are more qualified than your father. However, you are going to marry after all, is it possible that the thousand-year-old royal family is so easy for others to handle? Even if I agree, the Wang family, who have lived here for thousands of generations, will not agree!"
"Yes!
"Even if we are collateral, we are also the Wang family, we can't watch the family lose like this, let alone change our name!"
"Have you forgotten Wang Fusheng's identity as a son-in-law?" Wang Le's faint sneer came out, making those clansmen who were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood immediately shut up.
"You haven't forgotten, you just don't want to remember, because of the promises and benefits he has made to you. ”
Wang Le said unhurriedly, "Come on, let me see your courage one last time, whether you can charge into battle like the Wang family in the past, this is your battlefield, and I am your enemy!"
"Come on!"
In the clan land, there was a completely cold roar that echoed in the unique crispness of Wang Le's woman.
