(I believe everyone can see that the protagonist’s next enemy is not just the wealthy Xu family. The real thing standing in front of Qin Wushuang is the mountain of Ximen Clan. www, qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo, coM Let’s take a look at Qin Wushuang How to cross this mountain. Can the recommendation votes continue to reach 800 today? There is still a long way to go. Brothers, restart your firepower!)
The news of Ye Feng's battle with Qin Wushuang was blocked by Da Ximing, and there was indeed no news in Luojiang County.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Especially for Zhenwu Holy Land, even in the small Luojiang County, their intelligence network is very thorough and almost pervasive...
In the past three days in Luojiang County, there has been an endless stream of guests from all over, and most of them came for the birthday of the daughter of the Daxi family.
…
At the east gate of Luojiang County City, many people gathered bustlingly. The soldiers who used to guard the city gate all stayed at their posts inside the city gate.
Outside the city gate, there were more than thirty young men in green clothes standing in an orderly manner. In front of this group of young men in green clothes, there were several nobles leading them. The leader was Xu Sanli, the head of the wealthy Xu family.
Xu Sanli's gray beard was a little messy in the wind, but his feet seemed to have taken root. He remained motionless and stared anxiously ahead.
He murmured in his mouth: "Based on calculation, it's about time..."
Just as he was talking, several riders sprang out from the end of his field of vision, racing towards the city gate at very fast speeds. At first there were two black spots, gradually getting closer and closer, and then they were close in the blink of an eye.
Like a strong wind blowing across the face, he arrived in front of him in an instant. The rider on the horse suddenly pulled the reins while he was running fast, and the horse's head jumped high, and it suddenly stopped in front of Xu Sanli.
There were two people immediately, one was young and the other was middle-aged.
The young man had a stern expression, a hint of arrogance in his brows, and was wearing a gorgeous robe.
The middle-aged man was short in stature, but his eyes were sinister, scanning everywhere like an eagle's eye. At first glance, he was a capable and cunning person. Wearing a green robe, he seemed to be the young man's subordinate.
This master and servant are agile and have superb riding skills. What's even more rare is that the horses he rides are one black and one white. Really, people are like dragons and horses are like tigers.
The young man who stopped in front of Xu Sanli was the young man, no more than thirty years old, with a hooked nose, sharp eyes and a bit of arrogance. He looked Xu Sanli up and down, and said lightly: "Please help me, Patriarch Xu personally." Welcomed."
A white horse was covered in snow, but there was not a trace of hair on it. It didn't make any neighing sound when it stopped suddenly, showing that it was well-trained.
The horse did not stop until he was very close, and did not dismount even after it stopped, which shows how arrogant this man is. For this kind of conflicting behavior, the young people of the Xu family behind Xu Sanli are all accustomed to it. The eyes looking at the man in martial robes are clearly mixed with a little envy and jealousy. As the clan leader, Xu Sanli is also the same He greeted him with a friendly, almost flattering tone.
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Ximen is a master of swordsmanship and cavalry. Today, when I see him, he truly deserves his reputation."
"Clan Chief Xu, you're welcome. This is not the place to talk. Let's go into the city."
The man known as Mr. Ximen just replied lightly. The patriarch of the wealthy Xu family seemed to be just a wisp of air in his eyes.
"Young Master Ximen has worked hard for coming all the way. The old man has prepared a banquet at Fengze Tower. I hope to welcome Young Master Ximen and wash away his dust."
"No, just prepare two clean rooms. Don't worry about the rest. I will inform you if necessary."
"Okay, then please ask Master Ximen to move to your humble abode."
"let's go."
Young Master Ximen pulled the reins and rushed into the city gate with his two subordinates. Even after entering Luojiang County, these two people did not slow down and continued to gallop as fast as before.
Xu Sanli followed behind with obvious respect. He didn't even dare to show any strange expressions to the actions of Mr. Ximen and his group, but followed with a smile on his face.
A descendant of the Xu family muttered to his companions: "This Young Master Ximen is indeed arrogant, but his riding skills are indeed good. Proud people have their own pride. We, the descendants of wealthy families, will never be able to compare with him in our lifetime." What they have achieved now.”
"That's right. The son of a big family like him is born to be the pride of heaven. Looking at his young age, I'm afraid his cultivation will not be much inferior to that of the clan leader, right?"
Snapped! Snapped! Two times, as soon as the two of them finished muttering, they received two firm slaps on the face. However, the team had a large number of people, and the sound of the slaps was not obvious, and the intensity was clearly controlled.
The middle-aged man in front of them turned around and scolded: "Shut up, you two bastards! You can't talk about right and wrong behind the backs of the powerful disciples. I am a master of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm and has a sharp ear, not you two bastards." I can understand it. If you don’t want to die, just keep your mouth shut!”
"Sixth-dan Zhenwu? Uncle Sihai! You said he is already the sixth-dan Zhenwu? Impossible, isn't the patriarch over sixty this year? Isn't he only the fifth-dan?"
One of the disciples who was beaten covered his face and said in disbelief.
"Don't believe it, you guys who don't know how high the sky is. And I can tell you that the sixth level of Zhenwu can only be higher than lower! How can the number one master of the younger generation of the Ximen Clan have a false reputation? Otherwise, I would be sorry for him. The title of Akagi’s Four Shows.”
"Akagi Sishu?" The other disciple who was beaten was also stunned. He counted on his fingers and finally understood the difference between them.
In the small Luojiang County, none of them could be ranked among the "Seven Young Masters of Luojiang". This Young Master Ximen was actually ranked among the "Four Young Masters of Chimu".
What is that concept? The four most outstanding young people in the entire Akagi Kingdom are collectively known as the "Akagi Four Shows". There are eight states under the Kingdom of Chimu, and each state governs eight counties.
In other words, the level of Luojiang County is two administrative levels lower than that of the Chimu Kingdom. The difference is simply a thousand miles away.
"Oh my god! It seems that I have no hope of catching up with their current achievements in this life." After calculating the gap between them, the two disciples let out a low howl, not daring to say any more nonsense.
Mr. Ximen, who was at the front of the team, heard the voice of Nei Jin from his subordinate in Tsing Yi: "It seems that not all of the wealthy Xu family are frogs in the well. There are still some smart people."
"Most of the low-class nobles like this are like this. It's not just the Xu family. They are just clowns. If it weren't for the marriage of sister Yuzhu, I wouldn't want to come to such a small county to waste my time..."
After saying that, Young Master Ximen clamped his horse's belly and sped up a bit, which only caused some small commotion in the Xu family's welcome brigade who were walking on two legs behind them. Those juniors who were not good at martial arts had no choice but to run forward. As for being dumped by the team.
…
In the city of Luojiang County, the Xu family is one of the three wealthy families. The Xu family, which was founded by force, is naturally inferior to the same wealthy families in terms of financial resources. However, the Qian family has shops all over Nanyun Prefecture, but even so, the Xu family provides them with money. The Xu family estate where family members live also covers dozens of acres.
At this time, the lights in the wealthy Xu family's residence were brightly lit, and there were lights and colorful decorations everywhere. It seemed that there was something very festive, but everyone in the Xu family knew that all this was just for the distinguished guest in the east wing.
The fifth of the "Twelve Great Clan" of Baiyue Kingdom, the young master of the Ximen Clan of Nanyun Prefecture - Ximen Qian.
In the east wing room, Xu Sanli stood respectfully, looking at the young man holding the scroll and not daring to move. As for the short man behind the young man, he seemed to be merged with the shadow. If Xu Sanli hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Looking at this person standing in front of him, he couldn't even feel the slightest breath of this person.
"The Thirteen Eagles of Ximen are indeed worthy of their reputation." Xu Sanli glanced at the short man who had almost disappeared into the darkness, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind him.
The Thirteen Eagles of Ximen are the thirteen masters who are at least the fifth level of Zhenwu and are recruited by the Ximen clan. They all use numbers instead of names. They have always been figures who walk on the dark side. Over the years, they have eliminated many hostile forces for the Ximen family.
And Xu Sanli knew that what was in front of him was the "Cold-Blooded Eleven" who was famous for his cold-blooded cruelty.
"This book "Miscellaneous Shadow Boxing" is quite interesting. It has unique insights into both the boxing routines and the internal energy movement. Although there are some shortcomings, it is still quite threatening to go off the beaten path with your boxing. It seems that the ancestor of your Xu family There have been some characters.”
At this time, Ximen Qian was holding in his hand the "Fist of Shadows" that had been secretly passed down from generation to generation by the Xu family. This was also accidentally obtained by a certain generation of the Xu family's ancestors. It was also because of this secret book that the Xu family's position in Luojiang County was truly established. wealthy status.
It was just Ximen Qian's behavior that made Xu Sanli break into a cold sweat, because since Ximen Qian came to Xu's house, he didn't go to the banquet or see any guests. He just asked Xu Sanli to take out the secret book and read it for entertainment.
Although this kind of pastime made Xu Sanli uncomfortable, he was in front of a master he couldn't afford to offend. Needless to say, these martial arts secrets were basically invisible to others, even if all the yellow-flowered girls from the Xu family were required to accompany this young master. , Xu Sanli did not dare to hesitate at all.
Although these martial arts secrets are secrets in the family, the Ximen family is very wealthy. Many martial arts secrets of this level can be used as tissue paper. It is estimated that they will not be so greedy as to covet the ancestral secrets of a wealthy family.
After turning the last page of "Fist of Shadows", Ximen Qian's face was still expressionless, and there was no trace of any mood swings on his face. This made Xu Sanli a little at a loss.
"Do you know Da Ximing from the Daxi family?" he finally spoke.
When Xu Sanli heard the question, something suddenly moved in his heart. He remembered that the Daxi family had stood behind the Qin family many times to embarrass him. Thinking about the origin of Ximen Qian's trip, he had something to say in his mind. After all, the person who could be the leader of a wealthy family, apart from his superb martial arts skills, , and more importantly, scheming.
"Go back to Mr. Ximen, I recognize this man Da Ximing." Xu Sanli couldn't figure out Ximen Qian's intention for a moment, so he naturally answered cautiously, for fear that he might cause some trouble if he said something wrong.
"Tell me about it." Ximen Qian said in an understatement, making people puzzled.
"Da Ximing is the eldest son of Xi Heng, the commander of the Da Xishi family in the county. I heard that he has been keen on martial arts since he was a child. He is highly regarded by Da Xi Heng. He is already at the fifth level of Zhenwu when he is less than twenty-five years old. He is also known as Luo Jiang. The first of the seven princes in the county."
Xu Sanli's answer was still watery. The things mentioned are all well-known snake oil information. As for his own opinion, he still didn't say a word.
"How is his reputation in the county?" Ximen Qian casually threw "Fist of Shadows" onto the coffee table, his tone a little tighter than before.
"As a son of an aristocratic family, it's really inconvenient for me to comment..."
Xu Sanli is scheming and adept at observing people's emotions. From Ximen Qian's small actions and subtle changes in his expression, he could vaguely grasp something, but he was in no rush to play his cards right now.
"In front of me, it doesn't matter, he's just a son of a noble family."
Ximen Qian secretly laughed at Xu Sanli, who was so cunning and cunning. He obviously wanted to express his opinions, but he was playing hard to get with himself
"Since Mr. Ximen is destined, I will tell you the truth. This man's reputation is not bad, and he is actually the leader of the younger generation in Luojiang County. But in recent months, I heard that he has become obsessed with a girl from a poor family, and he has not been home for several months. Hanging around the woman's apartment and restaurant, she gradually became a laughing stock in the market."
"Huh, after all, he is still a child of a noble family who has never seen the world. He is vulgar and rude. The Ximen family already thinks highly of him. I don't think this kid really doesn't know how to love himself!"
Obviously, the Ximen family has already heard about everything that happened in Luojiang County. Asking Xu Sanli on the sidelines was just to confirm.
Seeing Ximen Qianlang's handsome face looking very ferocious at that moment, Xu Sanli knew that he had made the right bet. He had long heard that Da Ximing had an engagement with the Ximen family, which caused a lot of speculation among the outside world. Seeing Ximen Qian acting like this, Xu Sanli immediately guessed the purpose of Ximen Qian's trip.
As long as Ximen Qian is dissatisfied or even hostile to Da Ximing. Then this trick is almost successful in driving the tiger to devour the wolf and killing someone with a borrowed knife. Not only can he secure his status as a wealthy family, but if he can use this to attack the Daxi family, and even move the position of the Daxi family that dominates the Xu family, this will This is what Xu Sanli is very happy to see at this time.
If all this goes well, the Xu family's position as an aristocratic family and the top spot in Luojiang County is no mere fantasy.
All this depends on how you contribute to it. No matter what, if the Ximen clan is drawn to deal with the Daxi family, the Xu family will never lose a single hair. This type of business without capital is exactly what Xu Sanli is best at.
"What is the origin of that poor girl?" Ximen Qian was silent for a moment and then asked again.
"The daughter of the Qin family of Donglin Town Hanmen, Qin Xiu."
"The Qin family from a poor family, Qin Xiu..." Ximen Qian glanced at Xu Sanli meaningfully, and suddenly said, "I heard that this time the family debate, your Xu family was challenged by a poor family?"
Xu Sanli broke into a cold sweat and secretly screamed that something was wrong. Could it be that his plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife was discovered? Before he could answer, Ximen Qian waved his hand: "You go down first."
After hearing this, Xu Sanli quickly withdrew, a cold sweat running down his back. He didn't dare to look back and left directly, with lingering fear in his heart.
