…
The Battle of Luoying Gorge.
Although it was a secret confrontation, other than the few families involved, no one else would know about it.
However, the turbulent undercurrent and the change of the pattern seem to have just begun.
These days.
In Changning Weizhong, the news that the ancestor Hua Ye was seriously injured and dying was suddenly spread by someone with a heart, causing a commotion everywhere, and at the same time, there were different opinions.
It is said that Hua Ye's patriarch went to the outer domain to explore and seek opportunities, but unfortunately encountered a fifth-order fierce beast. After a fierce battle, both sides were injured, the ancestor Hua Ye was seriously injured and fled, his life was dying.
And some people said that it was Hua Ye's patriarch who had a rift with the Jiaolong Gang, and fought a fierce battle with the famous master Si Kou Luoxia, the vice-guild leader of the Jiaolong Gang, and both suffered losses.
Others say...
There are no less than five or six versions of the "rumors" about the battle between Hua Ye's ancestor and various masters.
In short, everyone is talking about the nose and eyes, as if they saw it in person. The only thing in common between these versions is that Patriarch Hua Ye was seriously injured and was dying. If he couldn't control his injuries, he might die someday.
As the two great celestial and human families in Changning and Wei, the Huangfu family was naturally furious in the face of so many unfavorable "rumors".
While they came forward to "dispel the rumors", they dispatched family members and even hired many casual practitioners to "put out fires" everywhere, and even beat and warned several groups of people who were discussing this matter.
They tried to extinguish and suppress rumors in this simple and rude way.
It's a pity that if they are still at the powerful level of covering the sky with one hand, once they really get angry, even the celestial Lei Shi will not be willing to make trouble.
But in this matter, the real secret operator is Wang Shouzhe.
As early as in his previous life on Earth, although he was not a senior melon eater, he was also well versed in various insidious routines after being passively influenced by him for a long time.
Soon, Changningwei "fired" everywhere, and all kinds of "revealing news" with noses and eyes continued to explode.
For example, the Huangfu family is domineering and bullying the market.
Another example is that the head of the family, Huangfu Jinhuan, oppressed the declining family and used his power to snatch two members of the Zhimai tribe to serve as concubines.
The "scandals" one after another seemed to reveal the "dirty" and "unsmelly" scenes under the glamorous appearance of the Changning Huangfu family, which made people "amazed".
It turns out that the dignified family of heaven and man has such virtues
The Daqian imperial court ordered the aristocratic family, but hoped that the aristocratic family would develop and sit in one side, and establish the state and the people for the imperial court. Instead of letting them dominate the local area and oppress good people.
In this way, the imperial court has certain requirements for the conduct and actions of the family. If it really caused public grievances, at least it would be reprimanded by the following, at worst it would be lowered in rank, and in the worst case, it would be deprived of the royal seal of the aristocratic family rank.
Just when Huangfu's family was devastated, the heavenly Lei's gave them another blow.
After Patriarch Lei's "heard" that Patriarch Huaye was injured, he personally hired the best doctor in Changningwei, Dr. Gu Hanyu Gu, to diagnose Patriarch Huaye.
Gu Hanyu was born as a casual cultivator in Yunyou. She is different from other casual cultivators in that she is a casual cultivator with a unique heritage of traveling medicine.
Originally, she didn't sit in Changningwei, but because of the severe floods this year, Zifu Academy specially invited her to come here to control the plague. She is benevolent and often sends her disciples to treat refugees for free, so she has an excellent reputation.
In addition, in addition to medicine, she is also good at making alchemy, and she is known as the master of both alchemy and medicine.
Although she is only a middle-level cultivation in the Lingtai Realm, she has a great reputation in Changning Guard, and many of her fans belong to influential figures. In terms of prestige purely, it is only under the two patriarchs of heaven and man and Xiahou City Guard.
Almost on par with Wang Shouzhe and Beichen Patriarch.
She took the initiative to diagnose Hua Ye's patriarch, making Hua Ye's patriarch avoid it, and it's not true if he doesn't avoid it. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he decided to let her do the diagnosis and treatment. At least Gu Hanyu's level of medical skills is unmatched by anyone in the Changning Guard.
The result of the diagnosis made Huangfu feel mixed. Gu Hanyu's attack did ease the injury of Hua Ye's ancestor.
But she said that Hua Ye's injury was due to the intrusion of the alien sword energy from the Purple Mansion Realm into his body, and the use of secret techniques to forcibly escape, resulting in extremely bad consequences.
With her ability, that is to say, she can ease the suppression a little bit, and it won't be difficult to drive away the alien sword energy in decades.
The best way is to go to the Zifu Academy for treatment. I am afraid that Master Changchun in Changchun Valley will personally treat him, so that he can recover in just a few years.
And it's best not to do anything during this period, otherwise the injury will worsen, and it is very likely to affect Shouyuan.
For the Huangfu family, this can be regarded as a glimmer of hope. The problem is that Master Changchun is a well-known old Zifu, but how can Fanzifu easily get on the line
What's more, even if Master Changchun is willing to take action to treat him, it will take several years, how can he not express
However, the ancestor Hua Ye was the pillar of the entire Huangfu family. The Huangfu family has grown into a big family, and there are many families that secretly suppressed and offended. If there is something wrong with the ancestor, then the entire Huangfu family will be destroyed.
About the real situation of Hua Ye's ancestor's injury, soon "accidentally" spread throughout Changning Guard. Just as the Huangfu family was worried, some families and forces that were once suppressed and bullied began to move around.
Especially in some places where conflicts of interests are involved, the attitudes of those aristocratic forces who used to be tolerant have gradually become stronger.
This is a bad sign.
For Huangfu, this is a dilemma. If you choose to suppress it forcefully, it is very likely to arouse public anger and make everyone unite. How can you suppress it without the ancestors in charge? What's more, there may be families such as the Tianren Lei family and the Pingan Wang family who are secretly making troubles.
But if you choose to give in, you may fall into a situation of retreating step by step. If you retreat step by step, there is no bottom line.
Therefore, there is only one way for Huangfu to go, and that is to send the ancestor to Zifu Academy to seek medical treatment. As long as the ancestor is cured, all the difficulties will be solved.
…
During this period of turmoil.
Changning Guard City Guard Xiahou Hongde came back from his work report, and he was in a pretty good mood. He was praised by Shangfeng for his timely and outstanding performance in disaster relief this time. The next transfer, I am afraid there will be a chance of promotion.
But as soon as he returned to Changningwei, he immediately became a little confused. Who is he, where is he, and what happened? Why did he only leave Changning Guard for a month, and the whole Changning Guard fell into a whirlpool
Facing the rumors with different opinions, Xiahou Hongde was very angry, and all the families in the Acropolis were very obedient on the surface. But in private, one is more unscrupulous and rampant than the other.
With such open and secret fighting to disturb the situation, do you still take him as the city guard seriously
Especially that Wang Shouzhe!
Could it be that he is deceiving him that Xiahou Hongde is a fool? Among them, there must be the beginning and end of that kid.
Immediately, the somewhat annoyed Xiahou Hongde was going to order someone to call Wang Shouzhe over. He had to confront that kid face to face, could he be told to finish the last two or three years and leave his post in a safe and peaceful way
But as soon as this thought arose, he was quickly suppressed by himself.
Wang Shouzhe's climate is complete, even if he is called to reprimand him, it's just a superficial promise to you. It is estimated that there will be no less actions he should have in private.
Moreover, that kid was extremely thoughtful, and it was almost impossible to give him an official handle, and it was not easy to embarrass him. With that boy Wang Shouzhe's ability, he might really be unable to hold back.
That's all!
Isn't it just two or three years before leaving office, why bother to make trouble with Mrs. Wang
If they want to fight, let them go. As long as he doesn't commit murder in broad daylight, he can only turn a blind eye.
…
Time flies.
a month later.
The famous Zifu Academy in Longzuo County is still grand and solemn that has never changed since ancient times.
Even if it is not the school season, outside the gate of Zifu Academy, there are still people from all walks of life in an endless stream.
The largest number are casual cultivators gathered from all over the country. They all have a dream, hoping that they can be favored by the Zifu Academy, and change their lives against the sky after joining the Academy.
However, Zifu Academy naturally has its own rules for accepting students. If casual cultivators want to join the Zifu Academy, the conditions are extremely harsh. You must prove your origin, have documents from the guard-level government and county-level government, and have a corresponding family as a guarantee.
Under such conditions, there are naturally very few who meet the requirements, and then they have to be assessed and selected again. Therefore, if you are from a casual cultivator background, it is as difficult as climbing the sky to join the Zifu Academy.
Xuegong prefers to find students from a family with a clean background. After all, a family with a family has roots and foundations. The family can last for at least a hundred or two hundred years, or as many as thousands of years, and the ancestors can be traced for many generations.
This is also to prevent the undercover of hostile forces.
Of course, it is impossible for the family to be completely innocent, and there is also the possibility of treason and treason. But once it is found out, the entire family will be destroyed, and all collateral families will be implicated.
Therefore, the probability of reliability of the aristocratic family is far higher than that of casual cultivators, and it is more difficult to be infiltrated.
In addition to casual cultivators, other major forces, families, etc., will come to Zifu Academy, some for business, some to visit relatives, and some partners like the Qian family who have business contacts.
These people can only be registered and registered, and live in the outer courtyard to wait for arrangements.
this day.
In a certain house in the outer courtyard, the Huangfu family who came to seek medical treatment lived here. In addition to the entourage, there are also several important clansmen accompanying the patriarch Hua Ye who came to seek medical treatment.
Among them, the most important identity is a direct lineage elder named Huangfu Cheng Peng.
He is the father of the current Patriarch Huangfu Jinhuan, he is over eighty years old now, and he has also served as the Patriarch for a while to train himself.
Now his status in the family is second only to the existence of Hua Ye's ancestor. There is no other reason, but Huangfu Pengcheng is the seed of Huangfu's contemporary celestial being. At a young age, he has already reached the peak of the middle stage of Lingtai Realm, and he is only half a step away from the later stage.
Huangfu Pengcheng's most important task is not to deal with family affairs, but to focus on cultivation, and strive to break through the realm of heaven and man as soon as possible to complete the alternation of heaven and man with the least cost.
With such cultivation at such an age, even if he is placed in the academy, he is still a core disciple. This time interrupting his retreat and letting him come with the ancestor was also to support his facade.
Most of the people in the Purple Mansion Academy treated the outstanding talents with a high regard and courtesy.
today.
A hearty man's voice came from outside the door of Huangfu's temporary residence: "Is brother Pengcheng there?"
Huangfu Pengcheng, who was serving the ancestor, looked happy, and hurried all the way to the door, bowed to the visitor and said: "Pengcheng has met Senior Brother Jinshan, please sit in the room, I am ready to wait Spirit tea."
His attitude towards Brother Jinshan was very respectful and kind, because this time he was asking for something from others. Secondly, this "Brother Jinshan" is not yet sixty years old, he is a strong man in the middle stage of Lingtai Realm, he is a core disciple of the Changchun Valley lineage, and he is also a core disciple who specializes in many trivial matters.
How dare Huangfu Pengcheng underestimate such a big man? Therefore, he spent a lot of connections and money to open up the connection of this brother Jinshan, and made friends with him, hoping that through him, he could seek to meet the Master of Changchun.
"This..." Brother Jinshan, who was still looking the same, said with a serious face this time, "I won't drink the spirit tea, this time I came here to inform Brother Pengcheng of something."
Huangfu Pengcheng was also the person who had served as the head of the family, and he immediately "thumped" in his heart when he heard these words. Previously, he liked this Senior Brother Jinshan, and after trying to make friends, the two parties have become very close.
Now he doesn't even want to go into the yard to drink tea, maybe things have taken a bad turn.
as predicted.
Brother Jinshan coughed twice and said, "I said I would recommend my master for you, but I, Jinshan, was a bit greedy for merit. I didn't want Master, an old man, to go into seclusion suddenly. I have all the things that Brother Pengcheng sent. Pay you back."
With that said, he took out a storage ring and stuffed it back to Huangfu Pengcheng.
Huangfu Pengcheng panicked, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jinshan, how long does the Master need to retreat? We can wait!"
"How do I know how long Master will be in retreat?" Senior Brother Jinshan said perfunctorily with a little dissatisfaction, "The shortest may be five or six years, and the longest may be decades. I dare not ask casually about Master and his old man. Farewell, farewell."
As he spoke, he ignored Huangfu Pengcheng's persuasion. Brother Jin Shan fled as if he was fleeing after he was perfunctory.
Huangfu Pengcheng's heart suddenly became cold.
This, this, this brother Jinshan was still very enthusiastic before, patting his chest and expressing that he would definitely help with things. But I didn't want to, something happened in the blink of an eye.
What happened and how is it going to be good
In a place that Huangfu Pengcheng couldn't see, Senior Brother Jinshan turned several corners as soon as he went out. I met a quiet, well-behaved and beautiful girl in a long purple dress, as clean and innocent as a girl next door.
But when Senior Brother Jinshan saw her, a trace of jealousy and fear suddenly flashed in his eyes. It's not that he can't beat this girl, but that her reputation in the Zifu Academy is already a bit scary, even worse than the other one.
Most importantly, she is Wang Shouzhe's younger sister! He can't afford to offend Junior Shou Zhe.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jinshan." The girl saluted respectfully, and took out a few bottles of spiritual honey and stuffed them in, "These bottles of Hundred Flowers Spiritual Honey are my little favor, Senior Brother Jinshan, don't refuse. "
This girl is, of course, Wang Luojing, the Fifth Miss of the Wang family.
Brother Jinshan hurriedly took the Baihua Lingmi, and said with a flattered look: "Junior Sister Luojing, don't be polite, I and Shouzhe are from the same school. If you don't know, it's fine. If you know the inside story, how can you be the one who helps the evildoers?" Things? But this matter has to be kept secret, after all, I am suspected of participating in the family struggle."
These few bottles of Hundred Flowers Spiritual Honey are less than one hundred percent compared to the benefits given by Huangfu. But Senior Brother Jinshan was quite happy, this little devil girl seemed quiet, but she was always cold, and she never pretended to be polite to the senior brothers from all walks of life.
"Senior Brother Jinshan, you are really a good person." Wang Luojing smiled slightly and said gratefully, "When several of our senior sisters from Wandie Valley told me about Senior Brother Jinshan, they all said that Senior Brother is a warm-hearted and good person."
The senior sister of Myriad Butterfly Valley
Senior brother Jinshan suddenly became energetic, and asked: "Which senior sister is so discerning? That's right, I, Jinshan, am a good person. Sister Luo Jing, please tell me your name, and I will bring a gift to visit later. "
"..." Wang Luojing was speechless for a while.
