Chapter 14: Secret Talk

Kanzhou Lingcheng Zuojia...

A middle-aged man of about 40 years old a year is admiring the flowers and plants in the backyard of Zuo's house, and his bearing is unusually majestic when he moves his steps.

The middle-aged man looked a little leisurely and relaxed, walking slowly, and from time to time he did not forget to reach out and take care of it.

The old man of sixty or seventy behind him has been following quietly, and seeing that the man in the middle is in a good mood, the old man said: "Master of the family, this time you can make a great contribution to the Xundu side." ”

Then he complimented: "According to the news from Ba Rui in advance, most of the slaves escorted this time are in the middle of the Condensation Realm, so that we can not only send a batch of good trialists to the Xundu side, but also train a group of beast slaves for my Zuo family, which is really worth celebrating." ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a faint smile on his face: "The three elders are serious, in fact, there is nothing to someone on my left, since it is all for the great cause of the Zuo family, it is naturally everyone's credit, how can it be counted on me Zuo Hongru alone." ”

This old man is Zuo Meng, the deacon elder of the Zuo family, and he is also a talkative character in the Zuo family, but he is used to patting sycophants.

Zuo Meng nodded frequently and said, "What the head of the family said is that it is old and abrupt. ”

The middle-aged man changed his previous relaxation, frowned, and said, "It's all this time, they should also arrive," and then instructed the old man: "I have to bother the three elders to arrange a reception banquet for a while." ”

Zuo Meng replied respectfully: "Old decay, let's go." ”

But just as Zuo Meng turned around, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming slowly from the corridor in the back hall.

The middle-aged man and the third elder looked at each other at the same time, with a look of anticipation in their eyes, but when the man just stepped into the courtyard, the faces of the two slowly became complicated.

The person who came was another old man who was eighty years old, the old man had a solemn face, strode over, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he swallowed: "Home... The head of the family, something is wrong, something is wrong. ”

Zuo Hongru was stunned, his thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he was puzzled: "Great Elder, what is going on?"

The old man known as the Great Elder was the first deacon elder of the Zuo family, Zuo Xie, and Zuo Xie said with a sad face: "The crystals condensed by the four Barui have been shattered, and they have been harmed by others. ”

When Zuo Hongru heard this, his face suddenly sank, his fists tightened, and then a wave of energy overflowed, and the rows of flower beds instantly burst into powder.

The three elders and the eldest elder on the side didn't dare to say a word, and the three elders Zuo Meng were even more embarrassed, and a sycophant just now happened to be slapped on the horse's leg.

As soon as the crystal is broken, how can Zuo Hongru not know the seriousness of the matter, in order to prevent the Zuo family from not having any mistakes in this mission, he has already ordered the great elder to ingest a trace of aura from Zuo Barui's four people and integrate it into the Dan furnace to refine the crystal, so that the crystal of death will be shattered, which is also the best evidence that the four members of the Zuo family have been killed.

Zuo Hongru said with an angry face: "Who did it?"

Great Elder Zuo Xie hurriedly said: "I don't know yet, I sent someone to investigate." ”

Zuo Hongru's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Send more people to investigate for me, I want to see who is moving my Zuo family's thoughts," then looked at the two elders and said calmly: "What do you think." ”

After Zuo Meng and Zuo Xie glanced at each other, Zuo Meng was suspicious: "Who can oppose my Zuo family now, except for his family, who else can be his family." ”

At the mention of the Zeng family, Zuo Hongru, a trace of doubt flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he did not start, but looked at the Great Elder Zuo Evil.

Zuo Xian still said respectfully: "According to the old decay, this matter is not simple, although the Zeng family and my Zuo family have been at odds in the past few years, but it is really not time to start, so this matter is not easy to say, the entire Kanzhou is already full of sects, and Tianhe City, the marginal city of the Eight Desolations, is a thorn in the side of the various factions competing for slave resources, and this matter is strange." ”

Zuo Hongru: "What the Great Elder said is very true, but this matter does not exclude his family," and then he changed his words and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, although it is important to investigate thoroughly, it is still necessary to inform the Xundu side as soon as possible, how to give an explanation to the royal family." ”

Zuo Xian led the order and said: "Don't worry, the head of the family, as soon as this matter came out, I notified the Xundu side, and the second elder has already gone to arrange it." ”

Zuo Hongru sighed and said, "That's good," and then said with a grim look in his eyes: "Tianhe City seems to be really a place that is not very peaceful," and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard as he spoke.

On the other side, in the Zeng family mansion in Lingcheng, an old man with a displeased face, his face was extremely ugly, he was pacing back and forth, and finally asked a middle-aged man in front of him, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

The middle-aged man hesitated: "Dad, there are only a few people in the entire Lingcheng who can kill people who can still be in the realm, unlike other families, there must be other big forces involved." ”

An old man stepped forward and said, "What the eldest prince said is that the martial arts cultivation of the four elders is close to the peak of the triple realm, and the person who can kill him to the point that his body is gone, at least the existence of the ninefold realm." ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded slightly, and then sighed for a while, this matter has dealt a serious blow to the Zeng family, and he sacrificed a strong man who can still be in the realm in vain, who can not feel distressed, Then he stared at him and said: "If this matter is not investigated, my Zeng family will never give up, I will see who can be the enemy of my Zeng family." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly asked, "What should Daddy do next?"

The old man said calmly: "Send someone to investigate secretly and thoroughly, try not to show up, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Zuo family, and this matter makes the entire Zeng family shut up, if anyone spreads it, the family law will serve." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Yes," and then retreated.

After the middle-aged man left, the old man said to the elder: "Inform the Xundu side of this matter, so that he can use the topic to play a little bit and poke the basket of the Zuo family to the royal family." ”

At the end of that year, the elder greeted him, "Don't worry, the head of the family, I'll do it," as he said and was about to turn around.

The old man hurriedly said, "Wait," and then muttered: "At the same time, inform Shanshan of this matter."

When the elder heard this, he was also stunned, and then replied respectfully: "Yes" and then left.

There were only old people left in the lobby, and the figure was lonely, and after a moment of silence, the old man suddenly said, "Come out, don't hide." ”

Immediately after hearing the sound of "oops", a beautiful figure jumped down from the back hall overhang, this is a young girl's figure, this girl is no more than eighteen, young and beautiful, but the beautiful eyes show a trace of arrogance.

The girl said sharply: "Grandpa, who killed the four elders, my Zeng Na must avenge it." ”

It turned out that the girl's name was Zeng Na, and she was the eldest granddaughter of the head of the Zeng family, seeing that the girl looked serious, the old man, shook her head and said: "Don't mess around, you just stay with me in the Zeng family, don't make trouble for me," he said and sighed and left.

The girl was speechless for a while, and secretly said in her heart, "Hmph!

Next, the news of the killing of the four members of the Zuo family spread throughout the entire Zuo family, and then quietly spread throughout the entire mausoleum, but the Zeng family was silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

...

In the royal palace of Xundu, an elderly man, dressed in a golden dragon robe and an old dragon clock, was bowing his head on the desk with his eyes closed, and a large eunuch beside him was carefully playing a paper fan for him.

At this moment, an old man came respectfully, the old man was dressed in a gray robe, and after stopping his body near the main hall, he possessed himself as a respectful body.

The eunuch reminded softly: "Your Majesty, Ji Guoshi is here. ”

The golden-robed old man slowly opened his eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "It turns out that Ji Guoshi is here, and he will take a seat." ”

The old man, who was called Ji Guoshi, still said respectfully: "Your Majesty, as you speak, you will take a seat on the left side." ”

The golden-robed old man said calmly: "Can Master Ji come here to discuss important matters?"

The old man was stunned, and after looking at the eunuch beside the golden-robed old man, he hesitated: "This..."

The golden-robed old man understood and said to the eunuch on the side, "All stand down," and a group of servants respectfully retreated.

In the entire deep palace, there were only two old men in the golden robe and Ji Guoshi, and after everyone retreated, the old man in the golden robe said without hurrying: "Say, there is no one else here." ”

Ji Guoshi hurriedly said: "As Your Majesty thought, this year's batch of slaves really had an accident, and they are still in the Northern Wilderness, not far from Tianhe City. ”

The golden-robed old man coughed again, and then said to himself: "Tianhe City," and then asked: "Well, it's interesting, let's talk about it, whose handiwork is it, dare to do it in the imperial land." ”

Ji Guoshi said: "Your Majesty, the four members of the Zuo family died at the hands of a slave surnamed Shen, but the Zeng family, who had been hiding in the shadows, did not make a move. ”

The golden-robed old man moved, and then said suspiciously: "In the hands of a slave surnamed Shen." ”

Ji Guoshi replied: "Yes, the slave surnamed Shen is called Shen Ling, and I have never heard of such a person before. ”

The golden-robed old man's eyes were profound, and he wondered: "A slave killed the four strong men of the Zuo family, can you believe it?"

Ji Guoshi said again: "What's even stranger is that the Zeng family used people to make a move, but they were killed by a mysterious powerhouse with a snap of their fingers."

The golden-robed old man exclaimed: "What?" He got up slowly, this matter had already been beyond his expectations, it was enough for a slave to kill four body-casting powerhouses to make him feel incredible, and at this time, a strong man who could kill the realm appeared, which made him feel even more incredible, and then said: "You can see it clearly." ”

Seeing that the old man in the golden robe reacted very much, Ji Guoshi said again: "How dare the old man deceive Your Majesty, with the help of the Divine Mirror, I can't be wrong, judging from his cultivation, I am afraid that he is close to the realm of opening Tibet." ”

Without waiting for the golden-robed old man to speak, Ji Guoshi continued: "This mysterious powerhouse is a woman, and it seems that he has a lot to do with this young man surnamed Shen. ”

The golden-robed old man sighed: "I can't imagine that there are such cultivators in the depths of the Eight Desolations in this remote area. ”

Ji Guoshi also echoed: "Yes, the two strong men of the Zeng family were killed in an instant in front of her, such an existence must be terrifying." ”

The golden-robed old man seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Tell me about the young man surnamed Shen." ”

Ji Guoshi said with a hint of approval: "The second son's martial arts talent is comparable to my entire Kanzhou, or even the most, not only is he young, his mind is quick, and he is decisive in killing, if he vigorously cultivates it in the future, he will definitely be able to shock Kanzhou." ”

Seeing that Ji Guoshi was moved, the golden-robed old man questioned: "Ji Guoshi's words are exaggerated, does this son really have such potential?"

Ji Guoshi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, maybe I exaggerated, it is not enough to kill the sevenfold slave of the Casting Body, do you believe it?"

The golden-robed old man nodded: "Well, yes, the person who can get a praise from Ji Guoshi is naturally not bad." ”

Ji Guoshi looked at the golden-robed old man and said: "This was originally a contest between the Zeng family and the Zuo family, but it brought out a genius boy and a mysterious powerhouse, according to Your Majesty's view, how to deal with it now." ”

After thinking for a moment, the golden-robed old man said calmly: "In recent years, with the help of the sect's protection, the Zeng Zuo family has risen in power and can compete with my royal family. ”

Then he said: "Since there are two people with mysterious identities, there must be someone sent by Lao Ji Guoshi to secretly investigate, especially the background of which mysterious woman, if you can recruit two people to use for my Daxun country, it will also be the blessing of my Xun country, if the Zeng Zuo family and other forces insist on chasing and killing, you can secretly help each other." ”

Ji Guoshi listened silently, and finally replied respectfully: "The old man obeys His Majesty's wishes. ”

The golden-robed old man sighed and said, "Okay, that's it, Ji Guoshi is also tired, so let's rest early." ”

Ji Guoshi got up, bowed to the golden-robed old man, and then retreated respectfully.

A moment later, the golden-robed old man in the main hall coughed heavily, and in the blink of an eye, the eunuch and a group of minions arrived.

The eunuch was very excited: "Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body." ”

The golden-robed old man didn't pay attention, just smiled bitterly, and then said to himself: "Shen Ling, the descendant of the Shen family." ”
