Chapter 25: Encounter with Chen Lishan

Just when Cao Jing was swimming in the mountains and forests, thinking about killing the fierce beasts, understanding the realm, feeling the bottleneck, and comprehending the swordsmanship, the Chen family and the Zhao family in Wushan Town jumped up, and the entire Wushan Town was like an earthquake.

Go back to two days ago.

When Zhao Zhenjun returned to Wushan Town under the escort of Shi Bo, the real Wushan Town was shocked, and everyone was speculating who had the courage to cut off one of the arms of Zhao Zhenjun, the eldest son of the Zhao family and the most talented disciple of the younger generation of the Zhao family.

"Could it be that the Chen family and the Zhao family are fighting for the mutant ice snake in the mountains?" one of the passers-by guessed as he looked at Zhao Zhenjun and the others who were hurrying by.

"It's possible, didn't you see that only the people of the Zhao family came back, and no one from the Chen family came back?" the other replied affirmatively.

When everyone in the Zhao family heard the discussion of these two people, their faces changed, and their steps to leave couldn't help but be a little faster. Although it was just a boring guess of two people talking on the side of the road, it also made their hearts skip a beat, which is really close to the truth.

"Could it be that they encountered the mutated ice serpent, and they were injured by the ice serpent?" the other guessed.

"You second bastard, didn't you see that the arm of the eldest prince of the Zhao family was cut off by the sword shoulder-to-shoulder? Is that a sword wound? How could it be a cold ice snake wound!" another person who observed carefully immediately retorted.

"Obediently, it's indeed a sword wound, but I don't know who injured it?But in the entire Wushan Town, only the Chen family dares to go against the Zhao family, right? Could it be a foreign shili?" the man then guessed.

"Speaking of you, you still don't admit it, it's only been a few days since this ice snake appeared? Have you seen anyone from outside the town coming? The closest cold stone city from here will take more than twenty days to go back and forth at the earliest, not to mention that no one has gone to ventilate and report it, if they get news from the caravans coming and going, it is estimated that it was only a few days ago, how could they rush over! What's more, most of our caravans here go directly to Wuguan City, so it's even farther, and it is estimated that the sons and daughters in the city will not care about a low-level beast like a mutated ice snake. Lao Tzu despises you. Another person who was a little farther away said indignantly, no matter how you listen to it, you feel a feeling of hating iron but not steel!

However, these analyses are indeed reasonable, the shili closest to here, and they are not afraid of the Chen and Zhao families, and it is estimated that they dare to cut off one of the arms of the eldest son of the Zhao family, but they are unlikely to appear at all. Needless to say, Wuguan City is farther away, not to mention that they won't care about this mutated ice snake.

......

The discussion and speculation behind it continued, but Zhao Zhenjun was not in the mood to listen, and directly took the rest of the Zhao family and went straight to the Zhao family's mansion, they wanted to report the events of the past few days to the head of the family Zhao Junyu as quickly as possible, these things were too big, and they were not something he could carry down at all. Only the sooner you let the head of the family know what happened, the better prepared you can be to face the anger of the Chen family next!

Just when Zhao Zhenjun and the others stepped into the door of the Zhao family, there was also a person in the Chen Mansion who rushed in, knocked down several people and did not stop for a moment. This person is Chen Qi, who is in charge of the store and intelligence of the Chen family, and it seems that he knows the news that the eldest son of the Zhao family has his arm broken.

......

Zhao Zhenjun finally returned to the Zhao family and sat in the hall of the Zhao family, his nervous mood finally relaxed slightly, and at this time there were only five people sitting in the hall, except for Zhao Zhenjun and Shi Bo, the one sitting in the middle needless to say knew that it was Zhao Zhenjun's father, Zhao Junyu, the head of the Zhao family, and even one person was naturally the two monks of the Qi refining period of the Zhao family in addition to the head of the family.

Before he had time to catch his breath and take a sip of tea, Shi Bo stood in the middle of the hall and began to tell the story of what had happened in the twenty days since he captured the mutated ice snake. When it came to the appearance of the Ice Snake, and the conflict with the Chen family, killing Chen Lifeng, Zhao Junyu's face changed greatly, how ugly it was, Shi Bo just told what happened, did not exaggerate, did not hide a trace, he knew that this matter was already related to the life and death of the Zhao family.

When Shi Bo finished talking about everything, the whole hall was deadly silent, no one made a sound, only the sound of more and more rapid breathing, the depressing atmosphere, seemed to crush everyone's chest, Zhao Junyu held the chair handle of the hands, the green tendons burst out, the chair under the pressure creaked, half an hour later, Zhao Junyu burst out and stood up, just when Zhao Junyu just got up, the chair behind him had been shattered into a pile, which showed the anger of the head of the Zhao family.

"You fools, you have been framed by people, and you have carried the black pot for others! Zhao Junyu, who calmed down after going back and forth several times, roared angrily at Shi Bo and Zhao Zhenjun and the others.

"Father, we also found out when we found out that Chen Lihai was dead, and at this time, Chen Lifeng and others from the Chen family were about to appear, and the ice snake stayed on Chen Lihai's body, and we surrounded it, which caused a misunderstanding, and the people of the Chen family didn't give us a chance to explain, so they drew their swords and faced each other. We also had no choice but to protect ourselves!" Zhao Zhenjun explained with a look of injustice.

"The head of the family, now is not the time to be angry, now should think of a way, how to deal with this matter, things have happened, and nothing can be changed, now we can only hope that the Chen family can accept our explanation, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding, according to what the eldest prince said, that Chen Lifeng was not killed by us, but killed by the ice snake, and they really cut off the arm of the eldest prince. ”

"What you said makes sense, now we have to do two things, the first thing, Shi Bo and I will go to the Chen family to explain the misunderstanding, and the other people, you arrange some more personnel to look for people in the town who have the ice snake, as long as you find this person, you don't believe that he will not confess, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding between us and the Chen family." Now we can only hope that as long as these two things come together, we will not have to be so passive. Okay, deal with it now!" "Zhao Junyu is worthy of being the head of the family, this arrangement can be said to be right to the point, no matter what the effect, it will reverse the unfavorable situation of the Zhao family.

Not to mention that everyone in the Zhao family left one after another to arrange and deal with these two things. Let's say, Chen Qi of the Chen family returned home in despair, and directly crashed into the account room of the chief housekeeper, regardless of the big housekeeper's angry face, he immediately said what he knew, and after the chief housekeeper heard it, his face changed again and again, and he was shocked, and he didn't say a word, and directly pulled Chen Qi and walked towards the inner hall.

Soon, the Chen family's council hall was filled with all the stewards. Chen Qi once again told what he had just seen on the street, and he didn't let go of some of the discussions he heard on the street, and then he spread it on the ground, panting heavily, everyone was pale, and they also knew the seriousness of the matter, but at this time, Chen Youchang at home did not attend at all because he was refining honeysuckle, and he confessed that the eldest prince Chen Lishan was in charge before the retreat.

At this time, Chen Lishan, who was sitting on his hands, looked shocked, his brain stopped, and he could make Chen Lishan so shocked It can be seen that things are not small, Chen Lishan is now twenty years old, he broke through the forging period and entered the qi refining period a year ago, he is the most talented person in this Wushan Town for decades, Zhao Zhenjun of the Zhao family is nothing compared to him, and Chen Lishan often deals with family affairs, and the clansmen are also convinced, such an excellent person should be a person who is not shocked, but at this time, his face is full of shock, which also reflects the importance of the matter. After a moment of silence, Chen Lishan spoke:

"No matter what the truth of the matter is, at least now none of the people sent out by our Chen family have come back, and the people of the Zhao family have only come back two or three, it can be seen that something must have happened during the period, resulting in heavy losses for the two families, and now the second and third brothers have not returned, we should send people out as soon as possible to see, as soon as possible to find out their life and death, and then there is the hope that we can know what happened from the living people of the Zhao family, so as to be able to make some preparations." ”

"Lishan, second uncle, I would like to go to the Qinglong Mountain Range to see what happened, so I can find out how Feng'er and them are doing as soon as possible. As soon as Chen Lishan's voice fell, Chen Yousheng, who was sitting on Chen Lishan's left hand, immediately stood up and said.

"Second uncle, I also know that you care about the second brother, but at this time my father is in retreat, you are the highest person in the Chen family's cultivation, if this matter is really done by the Zhao family, if you leave, the Zhao family is coming, how can we resist?

"Second brother, what Lishan said makes sense, Feng'er and they may not have anything to do, they may have been delayed by something, Lishan went to pick them up, and now it is the top priority to prevent the Zhao family from raiding the eldest brother, once the eldest brother has an accident, then the Chen family will have the disaster of extermination!" Chen Youfan on the other side also said.

Chen Yousheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, nodded in agreement, and did not speak. Chen Lishan soon disappeared into Wushan Town and entered the Qinglong Mountain Range.
