Luo Zhuo would never have thought that when he came out of that mysterious place, he would actually arrive at Haiqu City in the land of Dongju, the Haiqu City of the Jiang family!

When they first entered that mysterious place, but on the way to Chang'an, they were thousands of miles away from Haiqu City, and it was a place that couldn't be compared to Haiqu City, so how did they get to this place?

Although surprised, Luo Zhuo was not panicked, Haiqu City was not a dangerous place, although he had never wanted to get too close to the Jiang family, but with Jiang Baihou's attitude, going to Haiqu City was no different from going home for him, not only was it dangerous, if Jiang Baihou knew, it was estimated that he would have to have a welcome ceremony.

Of course, this is just Luo Zhuo's own thoughts, seeing that this Haiqu City is so deserted, even if there is a welcome ceremony, it is estimated that few people will participate.

I had always heard that the Jiang family was declining before, and Luo Zhuo thought in his heart that with the cultivation of Jiang Bai as the first person to wait for the Heavenly Immortals, even if he established a family by himself, it would not be too bad, and even if the Jiang family declined, it was only inferior to the peak.

Back then, Jiang Ziya held the Divine Whip and the God List, and it was indeed difficult for descendants to surpass such power, and it was normal for them to decline.

Luo Zhuo had never been to Haiqu City, and he never thought that the so-called decline would be really in decline.

A huge city, there are not even a few residents, even if the Jiang family owns this city, it is only an empty city, Luo Zhuo is a little confused, even if the Jiang family declines, how can it come to this point?

Logically speaking, the decline of a family should not affect the city, even if the Jiang family declines and has no ability to control Haiqu City, it has little to do with ordinary people, without the Jiang family, the imperial court will send other city lords over, how can the Jiang family still exist, and their fiefdom has already become an empty city?

With Luo Zhuo's understanding of Jiang Baihou, he is not the kind of tyrannical person, and he should not abuse the people of his fiefdom.

It's like coming out of that place to this Dongju land, Luo Zhuo can't figure out this matter, there is too little information, and he can't infer it at all.

"Little Er, we are the first to come to Haiqu City, how can this place be so deserted?" Luo Zhuo asked for two pots of wine at random.

"The guest officer doesn't know?" Xiao Er had a strange expression, "Did you just come out of the mountains?"

"It's weird, a shopkeeper can even pinch it. Sikong carried the flask, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile.

"It's not that villains can pinch and calculate, but everyone knows about it. The shopkeeper said, he originally said that everyone knew it, but he felt a little offended when he thought about it, and changed the word to his mouth.

"We don't know, you can tell me. Luo Zhuo said with a smile, and threw a piece of gold leaf to the little er, which was counted as a reward.

The shopkeeper stayed in Haiqu City and did not leave because his wife refused to leave, otherwise he would have moved to another city a long time ago, there were no guests at all here, and the money he earned was not enough to eat, how many years had he not met such a generous guest as Luo Zhuo, and his face was full of smiles.

Luo Zhuo didn't ask about privacy, so the shopkeeper simply pulled a bench, sat in front of them, and talked to them.

"If you want to say that our Haiqu City, it used to be an out-and-out big city, when I was a child, the city was so lively that I couldn't walk when I went out. The shopkeeper said, he looked less than thirty years old, and he had no cultivation, wasn't it just more than 20 years ago when he was a child?

"Later, I heard that the Jiang family hated the saint, and the favor of the past is no longer there, but I don't know why, the city lord's actions, the saint has not taken it back, but since then, this Haiqu City seems to have been evil, foreign merchants, no matter what kind of business, as long as they get here, they will lose their money, and gradually there will be no more business travelers coming, no business travelers coming, nothing can be supplied, and the local people have gradually moved to the nearby city. ”

What the shopkeeper said was what he knew, Luo Zhuo didn't believe it, if it was such a simple reason, don't say that Jiang Bai waited, the Jiang family sent a few people to solve it, presumably as he thought before, there was some force targeting the Jiang family, but he didn't shoot head-on, but knocked on the side.

But this has nothing to do with Luo Zhuo, his relationship with the Jiang family is limited to him helping Jiang Yiping send the Shura knife back to the Jiang family, it is Jiang Yiping who is kind to him, not the Jiang family, Luo Zhuo is very clear about this, he is from the earth, he has no feeling for what kind of family concept, he doesn't think that Jiang Yiping has to repay the Jiang family if he is kind to him.

How the Jiang family is is their own business, and the forces that dare to attack Jiang Ziya's descendants are not something that his little arms and legs can deal with.

After chatting with the shopkeeper casually, and drinking two pots of wine, the three of them left the tavern, Haiqu City is indeed very strange, but neither Luo Zhuo nor Heicheng Takeshi has any interest in exploring, as for Sikong, he wanted to find something good, but was stopped by Luo Zhuo.

No matter how you say it, it's the Jiang family, and it's not an enemy if you don't have a relationship, and Jiang Baihou has a few faces, and the last time I took advantage of his love, if you don't help him, forget it, you can't steal his things.

From entering Haiqu City to leaving, it was only more than an hour, since they had determined the place they were, it was clear how to go, they didn't want to stay here longer, Luo Zhuo also wanted to hurry back to Chang'an City to see if Zhuge Liuyun and Shangguan Jin had any other news from the same door, and also settle Zhou Mengchun and the others, and then prepare to help Heichengwu deal with the Black Water Xuansnake, and there was also Kaiyuan Mansion that could appear at any time.

Counting that he was very busy, he really didn't have time to stay in one place for a long time, and this was not counting that if he wanted to practice qi and break through the Heavenly Immortals as soon as possible, he still had to find a way to collect immortal stones.

Walking out of Haiqu City, the three of them were about to fly into the sky, when suddenly a peaceful voice sounded in Luo Zhuo's ears.

"Passing through the door and not entering, does the Jiang family make you like a tiger like this?"

Luo Zhuo was shocked, turned around, and happened to see a figure standing on the city with his back hand, the sunset shining from behind him, and the whole city was sprinkled with dusk sunlight, indescribably lonely.

If it was before, it is estimated that the head of Haiqu City would be full of soldiers, but Haiqu City has fallen to the point that there are not even a few residents, and there are not a few people left in the city guards, where are there still people standing guard.

Jiang Baihou stood on top of the city, looking at Luo Zhuo's back, and finally couldn't help but sigh and speak.

I think back then, if I could have a relationship with the Jiang family, I don't know how many people flocked to it, but now I want to make friends with people and are rejected thousands of miles away, it's a pity.

Seeing that he was discovered, he couldn't say anything after leaving without saying hello, "You wait for me for a while." Luo Zhuo said to Sikong and Heicheng Wu, his figure flashed, disappeared in place, and the next moment he was already above the city, Jiang Baihou was beside him.

"I've seen Mr. Jiang. Luo Zhuo arched his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang is serious, we happened to pass by here, thinking that you might be breaking through the retreat, and it is inconvenient to disturb, so that's why—" Luo Zhuo explained.

How can I say that I am also acquainted with Jiang Baihou, and it stands to reason that I should really visit him when I pass by his territory.

"I don't have to explain, I understand. Jiang Baihou shook his head and said, "In the current situation of the Jiang family, you are right to keep your distance, but my intentions are a little impure, and I shouldn't want to drag you into the water." ”

He does have an idea to be optimistic about Luo Zhuo's future and want to have a good relationship with him, which is also a little selfish on his part.

"With Mr. Jiang's cultivation, why bother. Luo Zhuo said.

"What did you see?" Jiang Baihou didn't answer his words, looked into the distance, and said indifferently.

Luo Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in line of sight, "Plains, mountains." ”

"I think back then, the ancestors carried the power of the gods, and this land of Dongju was the fief of my Jiang family, which was prosperous for a while, but now it is difficult to even see a person's smoke, and the world is changing, like a white cloud and a dog. Jiang Baihou said flatly.

Luo Zhuo didn't know how to take his words, it didn't seem to be right to say anything, he couldn't say that there was prosperity and death, the Jiang family had prospered for so many years, and it was normal for it to decline, right?

"Mr. Jiang, I have always had a question, with the cultivation of Jiang Ziya's predecessors, it should still be alive now, and the masters of the Jiang family in the past dynasties, shouldn't Mr. be alone to support him?" Luo Zhuo pondered for a while, but still asked.

"Whether the ancestor is still alive or not, I have no way to answer you. Jiang Baihou said, "The Jiang family will be at this point, naturally there is a reason, are you sure you want to hear it?"

He looked at Luo Zhuo with a smile, Luo Zhuo had always wanted to keep his distance from him, but after listening to the Jiang family's secret, it would be difficult for him to keep his distance anymore.

"Then don't listen to it. Luo Zhuo smiled bitterly, Jiang Ziya was a god back then, he didn't know how many secrets he knew, and it wasn't a good thing to know too much when he shouldn't know, Luo Zhuo didn't want to ask for trouble.

"Haha-" Jiang Baihou smiled rarely, "Brother Luo, you can't hide from the trouble yourself, you can't hide from it, I heard Gai Nie say, you are from East Kunlun, maybe your ancestor and Ziya ancestor are still the same senior brothers, so ah, there are some things, even if you want to hide, you can't do." ”

"It's not the same. Luo Zhuo shook his head and said: "Although we call ourselves the Kunlun faction, we are just the old, weak, sick and disabled who escaped from the exile land, no one will regard us as a threat, if we get together with your Jiang family, there will be a catastrophe at every turn, so Mr. Jiang forgive me." ”

"There are some things you don't know, the Exiled Lands are all the more dangerous precisely because you came back from the Places of Exile. Jiang Baihou shook his head and said, "Don't you know that your Kunlun sect has been targeted since you entered the immortal realm?"

"Does this have anything to do with the current situation of the Jiang family?" Luo Zhuo was surprised, isn't that the person who was difficult to Kunlun in the first place is the same group of people who caused the Jiang family to decline so much? Shouldn't it, if the Jiang family can be rectified to this extent, if it were to attack Kunlun, then Kunlun would have no one left. (To be continued.) )
