CHAPTER XXIII

The next day, the sun was shining on the earth, and beggars were basking in the sun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, brother, where are you from?" asked a little beggar, who was only a teenager, to another.

"I just came from Xicheng, I listened to the shouting and killing here last night, but fortunately there was nothing to do, so I came to see the excitement. Another little beggar said.

"Hey, I said brother, you don't know what happened last night, do you? The little beggar successfully whetted the appetite of the little beggar and whispered.

"Oh, what's going on? The other little beggar urged, eager to know what had happened last night.

"But I'm still hungry, so let's go ask for something to eat. The little beggar stood up and pretended to go. The other little beggar was fooled.

"Hey, brother, don't worry, it's not too late to tell me what's going on. If you're really hungry, brother still has two steamed buns here, why don't you make do with them?" The other little beggar was really anxious, and hurriedly took out the two yellow-flour steamed buns that he was reluctant to eat last night, and handed one to the little beggar.

The little beggar took the steamed bun, took a bite, and smiled, as if the treacherous plan had succeeded. So, he was there to tell about the Zhao family that he had heard about this morning.

"Brother, the sound of killing last night was not from another family, but from the big family in this city, the Zhao family. The little beggar said, and took another bite of the steamed bun.

"The Zhao family? is the Zhao family of the five major families? Another little beggar knows this Zhao family, and he said in his heart that a powerful family like the Zhao family, how could there be a sound of killing last night, could it be that there are people who are not afraid of death to find trouble with them?

"Well, it's not that Zhao family, and which Zhao family. I heard that last night, dozens of black-clothed heroes, with dozens of high-level spirit beasts, rushed into the Zhao Mansion. The little beggar said exaggeratedly, I don't know if he heard someone say it, or if he said it nonsense himself.

"Ah! Dozens of black-clothed heroes, and dozens of spirit beasts?" Another little beggar was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the Zhao family?"

The little beggar swallowed the steamed bun, and said in a vague voice: "The Zhao family is all dead, and dozens of elders have been killed by the black-clothed heroes and spirit beasts, don't you see that the Zhao Mansion is closed." It is estimated that there is no one alive in the Zhao Mansion. ”

"It's terrifying. Where did the killing god come from, slaughtering all the Zhao family? Alas, I really regret that I didn't come over last night to see the excitement, maybe I can take advantage of the chaos to make a small fortune. The other little beggar said with some regret.

Conversations like this abound in the streets and alleys of Taean City. People are spreading that the Zhao family in Tai'an City was patronized by many powerful warriors last night, and the purpose is not to take revenge, nor to make a fortune, but for a maid of the Zhao family. said that the maid is so beautiful, she is simply a fairy descending to earth, the reincarnation of Xi Shi, and she is so beautiful. Those warriors were bandits in the area of the Falling Moon Mountains, and they snatched the maids in order to be the wife of the big boss.

What's even more outrageous is that last time the Zhao family's Baoli Auction House auctioned a fairy fox skin, and now the enemy family has come to the door. Those black-clothed warriors were all spirit beast incarnations, and they came here to avenge the great revenge of the spirit beasts that bullied them. Spirit beasts are the most vindictive, and if you sell the skins of their kindred, they will kill your entire family.

There is also a saying that the Zhao family got a heavy treasure and did not give it to His Majesty the Emperor, so His Majesty the Emperor was furious when he heard about this and sent a master of Ouchi to rob the treasure. But the Zhao family didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they didn't hand over the treasures, so the two sides fought. In the end, due to the strength of the master of Ouchi, the Zhao family was destroyed, and the treasures were also robbed.

The Qian family, the Zhou family, and the Dongfang family are now also closed and stay at home. I usually walk my dog on the street, and the gentlemen who come out to fool around have not seen any trace of them, so I guess they are also depressed now. The three major families have known that something big has happened to the Zhao family since last night, but no one knows what exactly happened. Now people's various versions of the rumors have made everyone feel at risk and have no peace. Especially their big family, the last time they worked together to snatch the fox skin, they offended Situ Jiannan, and now they heard that something happened to the Zhao family, and they all thought of it, so they all closed their doors and waited to see what happened.

Tai'an City was in turmoil, and Dongfang Qingtian, as the city lord, was the most annoyed. This time, when the envoy of the Eighth Prince's envoy came, there was such a big mistake in his jurisdiction, and if this reached the ears of the Eighth Prince, what would the Eighth Prince's opinion be? Either it was a waste of money or a rice bucket, how could this win the trust of the Eighth Prince, and be reused by the Eighth Prince? Therefore, when the Eastern Clear Sky sent the envoy away, he spent a lot of gold and silver treasures, and the envoy must give him a few good words. After sending the messenger away, Dongfang Qingtian returned to the City Lord's Mansion, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

On the streets, all the city guards were on guard, for fear that the bandits would come out to commit crimes. The city guards are even more fierce than the bandits, and whoever they see on the street will say that they were the murderers of last night, and if you give them that money, you will be fine, and if you don't take the money, you will have to go to the cell and enjoy yourself. As a result, Tai'an City, a thousand-year-old city, fell into a great panic and became a pot of porridge.

The Tang family's mansion was not affected by the outside at all, with a large banquet and laughter. The maidservants and maids are busy with everything, serving tea and water, as lively as a festival. At noon, the banquet was set down and the seats were full. On the upper side of the seat, it is the old man Tang Tianfeng who is the master, and on the left and right, it is Yunfei and Situ Jiannan, and the next person is the more than a dozen elders of the Tang family.

As soon as Yunfei and the others woke up, they were already on the sun, and the warm sun was on the head. After the grooming was finished, a maidservant girl came and called out to eat.

Last night, Yun Fei and Situ Jiannan had a big quarrel and wiped out the Zhao family. In order to celebrate the demise of his opponent, Old Man Tang specially set up a banquet for Yunfei and the two of them today, and even the elders of the Tang family, who are not easy to show, and the worshippers are personally accompanied, which shows how much Old Man Tang attaches importance to his ally, Yunfei. Just kidding, Yunfei, who broke into the Zhao family's Longtan tiger's den alone, showed his might, which made the Zhao family slump, who didn't stammer?

"Everyone, let's raise a glass to congratulate Yunfei Shaoxia and Situ Daxia on their victory last night, and they succeeded and killed the enemy. Old Man Tang's face was full of red light, and he stood up and said to everyone. The rest of the elders all stood up and saluted Yunfei and Situ Jiannan's wine.

Yun Fei and the others were flattered, and hurriedly raised their glasses to return the salute, and after everyone greeted each other, their mouths were dry, and they drank it all, and the guests and hosts were happy.

At the banquet, all kinds of flattering words poured in, saying that Yunfei and Situ Jiannan were like the reincarnation of the god of war. Say that the two of them fought against the twenty elders to worship, killed them and fled, and they chased and killed them until they were all killed. Some people said that in fact, it was just Yunfei Shaoxia's hand alone, Situ Daxia was just helping on the side, Yunfei Shaoxia was holding the Black Blood Divine Sword, and he killed five elders with one sword, what a young hero.

No matter how thick-skinned Yun Fei and Situ Jiannan were, they had to be ashamed when they heard these words. If it weren't for Xiaohuo, a descendant of the divine dragon, who sneaked up on the side to assassinate them, it would be the two of them who fled, not to mention killing the enemy, and even whether they could run away was a problem. Everyone frequently raised their glasses to each other, and Yun Fei and the others did not refuse, and drank as much as they wanted. It didn't take long for a flush to appear on my face, and I don't know if it was from drinking or blushing with shame.

Everyone drinks here and doesn't care, the Zhou family's mansion at this time is terrible, why?

The Zhou family has always been the last of the five major families in Tai'an, and they are usually low-key and abnormal, and they rarely have enmity with the other four major families. In the last auction, wasn't Old Man Zhou the first to withdraw from the bidding for fox skins, not because their Zhou family had little wealth and poverty, but because they were low-key. The Zhou family is the native family of Tai'an City, and it has been inherited for thousands of years, and what kind of family will appear after thousands of years of accumulation? No one knows the details of the Zhou family, not even the other four families who are the five major families.

The Zhou family seems to be the last of the five major families, but in fact, he is the strongest, because he has something that the other four major families do not have, an innate level warrior.

This time the accident in Tai'an has put everyone in danger. The Zhou family felt that it had reached the point of life and death of the family. If that group of people is allowed to do anything wrong in Tai'an, maybe the Zhou family will be the next Zhao family. So, the patriarch Old Man Zhou entered the secret room and invited out the ancestor of the Zhou family, a strong man in the innate realm.

Zhou Hongyuan is an old man who looks like he is only in his fifties, but Old Man Zhou is standing with him, and he still thinks that Old Man Zhou is an elder, which is very wrong. Zhou Hongyuan's real age, he can't remember it himself, anyway, there are not two hundred, and it is not much worse.

Old Ancestor Zhou Hongyuan, a congenital-level warrior dressed in gray clothes, was sitting in the hall at this time listening to Old Man Zhou talk about the major events that happened in Tai'an City last night. Zhou Hongyuan's old ancestor was originally in retreat and cultivation in the secret room, he hadn't come out for decades, and he didn't know the current situation in Tai'an City. After listening to Old Man Zhou's words, he nodded.

"It seems that if there are only two people who entered the Zhao family last night, then most of them are innate level warriors. If it weren't for the congenital-level warriors, who would be able to destroy the twenty masters of the Zhao family in one night? However, the mainland stipulates that innate level warriors are not allowed to participate in secular disputes, what is going on? Zhou Hongyuan's old ancestor was puzzled.

Old Man Zhou hurriedly replied: "Ancestor, great-grandson doesn't know what's going on, no, please go out of the mountain to see the situation." If those two people come to my Zhou family, wouldn't the Zhou family be another Zhao family?" Old Man Zhou said, with a sad face, really afraid that the Zhou family would be like the Zhao family, and would disappear overnight and cease to exist.

"Well, this is a trouble, these two people are unknown, their identities are unknown, and their cultivation is profound, so it's not easy to deal with. If they were people from there, our Zhou family would really have no power to resist. Zhou Hongyuan's ancestor also had scruples and said. If they came from those places, it would be just a matter of flicking a finger to deal with the Zhou family.

"Where did you come from?" asked Old Man Zhou inexplicably.

"Okay, these places are not something you can know, as long as you reach the innate level, you will naturally know. Old Ancestor Zhou Hongyuan didn't tell Old Man Zhou what those places were, and said softly.

Old Man Zhou smiled bitterly for a while, joking, if you want to become a congenital-level warrior yourself, I'm afraid you will only have the next life. He is a lot old, and he is only an eighth-level warrior, and it is not easy to cultivate to the innate level.

"By the way, you said that those two people are likely to be in the Tang family?" Zhou Hongyuan Old Ancestor suddenly asked.

"Well, this is the guess of the great-grandson, and it is estimated that ** is not far from ten. Old Man Zhou hurriedly replied. Just now, he said this to the old ancestor, I don't know what the old ancestor meant by asking this?

"Oh, that's good, I'll go to the Tang family tonight to see, who is the person who came?" After speaking, Zhou Hongyuan's ancestor got up and went back to the bedroom.
