After Shangguan Chao's violent death, the ancestral house of the Shangguan clan was still undisturbed on the bright side, and it seemed that it was not affected by this incident, Shangguan Yun, the current head of the Shangguan clan, did not even show up, only the third master Shangguan Tan returned to the ancestral house and began to prepare for the aftermath of Shangguan Chaos.

The five brothers of the Shangguan family, the eldest lord Shangguan Feng has been unpredictable, and has a close relationship with the king of Wei, the second lord Shangguan Yun took over the position of the head of the Shangguan family after the death of his uncle Shangguan Qinghong, the third lord Shangguan Tan was born in Wei State, and was one of the six naval governors of Wei State, and the fourth lord Shangguan Chao was born as a concubine, talented and intelligent, but he was not keen on his career, and he was obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, and the realm advanced by leaps and bounds, second only to the eldest lord Shangguan Feng. As for the five masters, they are women, named Shangguan Qiushui, the youngest and the most idle, when Shangguan Jinhong was still alive, he had left Shangguan's family and traveled all over the world, his whereabouts have been erratic over the years, and he rarely returned to Wei, when Shangguan Jinhong returned to the west, Shangguan Qiushui did not see the last face, and now he does not know where he is.

At this time, Shangguan Chao's body had been picked up from the bottom of the sea by the people of the Wei Palace and sent back to Shangguan Mansion, after Shangguan Tan returned to the mansion, he first saw his younger brother for the last time, and then examined the wounds on Shangguan Chao's corpse, his face was a little solemn, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this taciturn third master, the whole Shangguan Mansion, which was originally still panicked, breathed a sigh of relief, among the five Shangguan masters, not to mention the fourth and fifth masters with a loose temperament, compared to the eldest lord who saw the beginning and the end of the dragon and the second lord who was deep in the city, it was undoubtedly that the third lord was more stable and reassuring.

;^, genuine debut

This scene made the eunuch who came from the palace of King Wei relieved, since only Shangguan Tan came back by himself, it showed that the Shangguan family did not want to investigate this matter, and the king was also on his side. Wang Shang has been in charge of Wei for many years, although he is not afraid of a Shangguan family, but after the incident of the Yuanqiu Altar, the manpower has been damaged a lot, and if there is one less Shangguan family, it will be too much to make matters worse.

After Shangguan Tan arranged the affairs of the house, he sat alone in the study and frowned and pondered, the eldest brother went to the Ming Tomb, so far there is no news, I am afraid it is already a lot of luck, the second brother said that he was going to go to Jiangnan, so far he has not returned, asked him what happened, he also spoke vaguely, did not give a clear answer, for this complex second brother, he has long been accustomed to it, among the five brothers, the second brother has the best relationship with his uncle Shangguan Qinghong since he was a child, and it is reasonable to have some connections with Jiangnan through his uncle's relationship, Shangguan Tan knows a little about this, but the second brother has never taken the initiative to mention it, and he is not good to ask too much。 As for the fifth sister, he didn't have any thoughts about it for a long time, he just hoped that she could take care of herself outside.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Tan couldn't help but sigh, because of many years of marriage, the five great families of the Wei Kingdom were known as advancing and retreating together, and they were connected with each other, but since the collapse of the Zhang family and the Gongsun family, this so-called same qi and branches have been completely wiped out, and now the three major families of the Wei State have their own thoughts, and they are not even the least of the same bed and different dreams, and the Murong family, which has a great career, has long been no longer limited to a corner of the Wei country。

Now that the game between the King of Wei and the imperial court has gradually surfaced, if the King of Wei wins, it is good, the Shangguan family, as a hero of the dragon, can naturally take advantage of the situation, but if the King of Wei is defeated, how should the Shangguan family, as a chaotic minister and thief, deal with himself?

Shangguan Tan couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

All or nothing.

......

After Xu Beiyou separated from Sun Shiwu, he left Chunshan Port alone, and did not go directly to the 36 islands of the East China Sea, but planned to go to Jiuyuan City to have a look first.

In addition to hurrying, Xu Beiyou also silently calculated in his heart that the Wei State, as the starting place and foundation of Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, was very deep, far beyond Xu Beiyou's expectations.

Putting aside the most powerful King Wei for the time being, the most powerful snake is the three major families that have lasted for nearly a thousand years, the Ye family and the Shangguan family needless to say, what really makes Xu Beiyou jealous is the Murong family, when he followed his master to the northeast to visit the Liao King Mu Tangzhi, passing through Chaoyang Mansion, the capital of Liaozhou, because the ancestor of the Murong family Murong Longcheng and Murong Fenghuang built Houyan once set the capital here, so Chaoyang Mansion is also known as Dragon City. Although the Houyan of the Murong clan has long disappeared, Longcheng still respects the Murong clan, not to mention that Liaozhou is Houjian to the north, where there are also Wanyan Beiyue, the lord of the Houjian family, and Murong Xuanyin, the leader of the Xuanjiao sect, these two are also from the Murong clan, coupled with Murong Xuan's dual identity, the Murong clan has long been difficult to control.

Among the four women who were famous all over the world back then, Xu Beiyou had already contacted Qin Mumian, Zhang Xueyao, and Lin Yinping, and only Murong Xuan, the head of the four, had not yet seen it.

In Xu Beiyou's impression, the only intersection between him and Murong Xuan is because of his master Gongsun Zhongmou, the two of them seem to be cousins, when they were in Longcheng, Murong Xuan once appeared to persuade Gongsun Zhongmou not to go his own way, but Gongsun Zhongmou did not listen to Murong Xuan's admonition, which led to the later battle of Biyou Island. As for the other variables, it is not yet clear, but the Daomen who has been sending a great true person to garrison Biyou Island for many years will definitely have a layout in the Wei State, and it must not be underestimated.

Now Xu Beiyou is in a foreign land, alone, unable to change the overall situation of Wei, according to Xu Beiyou's original intention, he only needs to go to Biyou Island to retrieve the sword, but after learning about Yang Bofu from Sun Shiwu, he temporarily changed his mind and went to Jiuyuan City.

After the fall of the Gongsun clan, this Jiuyuan City was originally one of the cities controlled by the Gongsun clan, and gradually evolved into a place similar to the Julu City, which was specially designed to accommodate monks from all walks of life, especially after many monks who could not accommodate themselves in the Central Plains crossed the sea to the Wei State, most of them would choose this place as a place to stay, which can be described as a real place of fish and dragons.

At the same time, it is also one of the few places that is not subject to the abolition of the sword order.

When Xu Beiyou had not yet set foot in Jiuyuan City, he was a little surprised by the number of monks here, but he saw a strange scene that was difficult to see in other places just on the official road of the post road.

There are mighty and strong men wearing thousands of pounds of stone armor, there are fat monks who have open chests and exposed stomachs but skull rosaries around their necks, there are sloppy blind Taoists who are a few steps away, there are young men with swords overflowing with sword energy behind them, there are also women in palace clothes with graceful figures, fairy couples with talented women, and more fierce men with fierce faces carrying giant knives to swagger through the market, and the old man who is as short as a child carries a gourd that is a few points bigger than himself, which is really a thousand postures.

During this period of time, Xu Beiyou has seen the battle of the top monks, and also seen the opening and closing of the emperor's generals, he himself walks on the top of the mountain most of the time, and does not see how the mountain is down, since leaving Julu City, he has rarely seen such a scene again, and it is quite eye-opening for a while.

Xu Beiyou looked at Jiuyuan City, which was faintly visible in his sight, and whispered to himself: "It's different, you should take a look." ”
