101. Attitude issues
"Do you know? The eldest son of the Chen family was killed by the Gu family!" A middle-aged man lowered his voice and said to the woman in the neighboring door with a look of horror.
"Isn't this possible?" The other party obviously didn't believe it on his face, "The Gu family dared to do such a thing just now? Are you fooling me?"
"What's impossible? I saw it with my own eyes! The Gu family not only killed the young master of the Chen family, but also arrested Zhao Xing!" Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, the middle-aged man became anxious.
"What! Kill... Xing... arrest..." Hearing this, the woman was a little stupid.
This arrest is a high priority for those living in Zixuan City.
"Not to mention Zhao Xing's arrest, Zhang Zhengxing was also injured by the Gu family!" As if hearing something, another neighbor living nearby also interrupted, as if he was afraid that the two of them would not believe it, he said confidently: "I saw it with my own eyes! Zhang Zhengxing was going to save the young master of the Chen family, but was injured by the Gu family. In front of Zhang Zhengxing's arrest, he treated the young master of the Gu family as the watermelon..."
As he said that, he clapped his hands, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Yes! Now there is really blood flowing in front of the Gu Mansion, and corpses are everywhere!" The middle-aged man looked palpitations.
After a while, the woman looked dull: "The Gu family... is going to rebel!"
"Oh, this Gu family... is over. Mr. Xiao's birthday is over at the end of the month, and even the current emperor is pardoning the world this month. The Gu family dares to commit murder and commit a big taboo."
After saying that, these people shook their heads and sighed. It was obvious that the Gu family was still good in the eyes of these ordinary people.
And such rumors and dialogues are not just these people communicating.
Almost for a moment, the entire Zixuan City was talking about this matter. Everyone expressed their incomprehension of the sudden behavior of the Gu family. In their impression, the Gu family was not such a strong family. Although they were small families like the Chen family, the Chen family's family's family and strength were obviously stronger than the Gu family. Moreover, it was enough trouble for the Gu family to provoke only one Chen family, and they dared to provoke the people from the Zhengkuang Hall!
Isn't this asking for death?
And when this kind of discussion became a topic of conversation and reached the ears of some big names in Zixuan City, it had completely changed.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang arrested me. I heard you were killed by the Gu family." A middle-aged man with an extremely strong figure, wearing a full of armor, walked in with great strides.
This is the Zhang Mansion located in Zixuan City. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to the Zhang Mansion at this moment. Obviously, they all came after hearing the rumors.
The rumors that were originally quite real were completely changed in just half an hour: the Gu family had rebelled, the Chen family had been destroyed, and even Mr. Zhang was arrested and killed. Now the entire Zixuan City was in chaos. The caravans that the Gu family had entered the city before were not commodities, but trucks of weapons. They have been preparing for today for a long time.
Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, Zhang Zhengxing is a Jindan realm practitioner after all, which means that the Zhang family he is in is a first-class family of the Zixuan Dynasty. Therefore, at this moment, there will naturally be many people coming to visit Zhang Zhengxing's arrest - no matter what the next thing will develop, after all, Zhang Zhengxing is the only person who has fought with the mysterious masked man in the Gu family.
Zhang Zhongyi understood the meaning of these visitors very well. What puzzled him was the middle-aged man in armor in front of him.
"General Xiao." Zhang Zhongyi stood up, with a little surprised face, "Why are you back?"
"My Grandpa Taizu's birthday is on the 700th birthday, how can I not come back?" the middle-aged man smiled heartily, "I heard the rumors in the mansion just now, and Grandpa Taizu asked me to come and visit Mr. Zhang to arrest him."
"Mr. Xiao is intent." Zhang Zhongyi said.
But at this moment, a young man suddenly ran out of the back hall. He was wearing armor and holding a gun, with a solemn look on his face.
"Where are you going?" Seeing the young man running out with nod to anyone, Zhang Zhongyi's face became gloomy.
"Catch the Gu family prisoner for grandpa!" The young man stepped out without looking back.
"Random! Come back!" Zhang Zhongyi was furious, and his aura suddenly burst out, shocking everyone around him to retreat several steps before barely blocking it. Only a few people did not retreat, but the expression on his face was obviously not very pleasant, "Just relying on your three-legged cat kung fu, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
"Grandpa!" The young man felt a little difficult to breathe and had to stop, but he insisted and refused to go back.
"Your grandpa, I am no match for others." Zhang Zhongyi said calmly, "With your strength, are you going to die?"
But this sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for those present. Everyone looked at Zhang Zhongyi with disbelief. At this moment, they found that Zhang Zhongyi's face seemed pale and a little sickly. Could it be that he was really injured?
Before the rumors of Zhang Zhongyi's death, these people had heard that Zhang Zhongyi had fought with the other party once, but the result was that Zhang Zhongyi was injured.
In fact, in the eyes of them, this was simply impossible, because they knew Zhang Zhongyi's strength very well. Among all the experts who had public identities in the entire Zixuan Dynasty, they could at least be ranked in the top five. Although they were not very clear about why Zhang Zhongyi returned home, and the mysterious man of the Gu family was not arrested, they immediately considered what might be hidden in it, so that Zhang Zhongyi did not catch people.
Until now...
"Zhang Zhengxing's arrest is not his opponent?" The grandson of Mr. Xiao spoke in surprise.
Zhang Zhongyi faintly swept the people present, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid no one except Mr. Xiao and the secret guards of each prince are his opponents... If I guess correctly, this person must be a disciple from the major sect. This trip should be a training. Although he has nothing to do with the Gu family, he is currently living in the Gu family, and I'm afraid..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhongyi no longer needs to continue talking. None of the people who come here are simple people, so they only need to hear Zhang Zhongyi's comments and they already understand how to deal with the next thing.
"Mr. Zhang is arrested, I have something to do, so I will say goodbye now." General Xiao punched Zhang Zhongyi.
"Please." Zhang Zhongyi nodded.
After seeing Mr. Xiao’s grandson leave, the others here also made an excuse to say goodbye first. Zhang Zhongyi didn’t keep them. After seeing everyone left, he sat back on the chair with a pale face and coughed lightly.
At this time, the young man from the Zhang family who had just looked arrogant and looked arrogant and looked down upon, quickly ran over, threw all the armor and spears on his body aside, and patted Zhang Zhongyi on the back: "Grandpa, drink a little water first, go back to the room to rest."
Zhang Zhongyi glanced at his grandson and smiled bitterly: "You..."
"I'm not sure that these people have been annoying you, so I came out to help you." The young man smiled silly and blinked, "Anyway, this is all they want to know. I'm just looking for an opportunity to let grandpa say it..."
"Let's go back and visit the Gu family on my behalf." Zhang Zhongyi sighed, "...The Chen family will probably be exterminated as rumored outside now."
"This is impossible, right?" the young man was a little disbelief.
"Even if the clan is not exterminated, he will move away from the Zixuan Dynasty." Zhang Zhongyi shook his head, "The status and status of the disciples from the sect are different. Now that he lives in the Gu family, the Gu family is equivalent to an additional gold medal for avoiding death. Anyone who opposes the Gu family will not have a good ending... This family may have a chance to transform. So, good people will still be rewarded."
The young man stuck out his tongue and nodded: "I will visit the Gu family later. Grandpa, don't worry."
Zhang Zhongyi nodded and said nothing.
...
On the other hand, General Xiao returned to Xiao's Mansion as soon as he left Zhang's Mansion.
In the study room of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Shaofeng, who is now seven hundred years old, is still a middle-aged man, closing his eyes to rest, and waiting beside him are his descendants, a total of eleven people. After the burly General Xiao walked into the study room, Xiao Shaofeng finally opened his eyes and said calmly: "How?"
"As Grandpa Taizu said, General Zhang was indeed injured in arresting him." General Xiao immediately told the story of what he heard in the Zhang Mansion and his own guesses one by one.
Xiao Shaofeng didn't say anything, but just listened quietly and nodded from time to time. After the Xiao family disciple finished speaking, Xiao Shaofeng turned his head and looked at his favorite great-granddaughter's face, and smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, aren't you a little intimate with the daughter of the Gu family? This time I was so entangled by you that I invited their family... You see, what should I do if this matter is so chaotic now?"
A girl named after the name stuck out her tongue: "How could I know that the Chen family members would be so shameless."
"Chen family? Haha, how dare I go and do not make things difficult for the Gu family who received my invitation." Xiao Shaofeng sneered, and the momentum on his body instantly emanated. "This time, Grand Master Gao must have been instructed by Grand Master Gao from behind... The Gu family destroyed a family more than ten years ago. It is said that the family had some conflicts with the Gu family Old Gu. As a result, the hostess in this family is the youngest sister of Grand Master Gao, and this Liangzi is not able to solve it... If the Gu family had not been lucky this time and met such a master, I am afraid that the Gu family would have been killed by Grand Master Gao."
"Grandpa Taizu, this Taishi Gao is so hateful, you can't let him go." Xiaoyi began to act coquettishly.
"I can't handle this matter in the court." Xiao Shaofeng touched Xiaoyi's head pamperedly, "Today, let's go and talk to your good friend of the Gu family."
A cunning light flashed in Xiao Yiyi's eyes, she laughed and ran out of the study immediately.
