Chapter 170 Greater interest entanglement
When I first met Zhou Yang, he was still a minor cultivator in the Kaiyuan realm, and at that time Pu Zheng was already at the pinnacle of Lingtai.
However, things changed as time went by, one year east of the river and one year west of the river, Zhou Yang advanced rapidly, reaching the late stage of Lingtai, and judging from his aura, he was not an ordinary late-stage cultivator. This is really a formidable future!
Pu Zheng looked back at himself and found that not only had his cultivation not improved, but he had fallen into several realms one after another. He lamented that fate was playing tricks on people and that God's will was unpredictable.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, I admire you very much." Another young man said, cupping his fists.
Zhou Yang knew this person as a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect who later surrendered, and his name was Hu Zhiran. The two people sitting next to him were named Ling Bao and Zhong Ming.
Naturally, he knew Lin Cheng who was next to Pu Zheng.
Zhou Yang didn't know Zhong Ming before, but he heard that he had surrendered together with Hu Zhiran and Ling Bao.
"Brother Hu, thank you. By the way, you guys haven't eaten yet. Senior brother, you and Sister Xing'er will get some food later. Take out the snow turtle and pangolin leopard meat you hid and let the brothers
Have a taste.”
"You don't have to tell me, I'll get it right away!" Tiehu's face looked a little unnatural. How could the animal meat he had hidden be discovered by Xiao Yangzi? It was really strange.
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, and rolled her eyes at Zhou Yang, meaning you should save some face for your senior brother.
Zhou Yang glanced back, meaning that he wouldn't be willing to take it out if I didn't tell him, this guy is the most delicious.
Pu Zheng and the others were also smiling. These two brothers were really funny.
As soon as Tiehu left, the door was pushed open and Li Tong took the lead in entering the room, followed by Xing'er.
As soon as she came in, she looked Sima Ling'er up and down, her face was neither happy nor worried. Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat, what kind of expression did Sister Xing'er have?
"Miss Ling'er, I am Li Xing'er, and I grew up with Little Yangzi. I must have heard that my brother and I were both saved by Little Yangzi, and this life belongs to him. We have already said
Blood oath, I will serve him as a slave in this life. You and Xiao Yangzi are one family, so naturally you are also the master of my brother and sister. If you are the master again, please accept our brother and sister's worship!"
Xing'er had never said such words in front of others before. Although she told him a few days ago that she wanted to be his and Ling'er's slave, Zhou Yang didn't think so. As he said, he never thought about asking her to be his slave.
Servant, she will always be his sister Xing'er.
I didn't expect to see Ling'er today and say such words in front of so many people. How could Zhou Yang not change his face?
"Sister Xing'er, you!" Zhou Yang suddenly stood up, but at this moment Ling'er reached out to help Li Xing'er up first.
"That's what Sister Xing'er said. You are Little Yangzi's Sister Xing'er, and you are my Sister Xing'er, forever Sister Xing'er! Don't mention things like slaves in the future! We must never do that again,
Otherwise, Xiao Yangzi and I will be embarrassed, okay, Sister Xing'er?"
Sima Ling'er looked sincere and had no intention of delaying anything. Xing'er wanted to say something more, but she stopped her and her attitude was very firm.
Xing'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, and stood up with Ling'er's help.
But Sima Ling'er glanced at Zhou Yang, and the content in her eyes was very rich.
Zhou Yang's body trembled and he felt weak in his heart.
It seems that Lin Cheng's mouth is very unreliable. Ling'er must know something.
But judging from the attitudes of the two women, nothing happened.
However, a woman has a deep heart. He, the eldest lady, seems reasonable, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart. And from the moment she entered the house, Ling'er regarded herself as the hostess, and she really had the manners of a lady.
"Bah, bah, bah, dirty!" As soon as the word eldest lady appeared in Zhou Yang's mind, he cursed himself secretly.
Having Ling'er is not enough. He actually has the intention to enjoy the blessings of others. He also talks about the first lady and the second lady. This is a bit too unsatisfactory!
Zhou Yang looked a little distracted as he looked at the two women.
"No, women are naturally sensitive. Even if Lin Cheng didn't say anything, Ling'er's intelligence would be able to guess something. But she didn't say anything interesting. This young lady must be too open-minded!
This is absolutely unreasonable. Just because she doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean she doesn’t mind it.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's heart started beating again.
The two sisters were talking to each other side by side, and Zhou Yang came back to his senses to chat with Pu Zheng and others, but he kept peeking at the two of them from the corner of his eye. Occasionally, he met the eldest lady's eyes, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned away.
Come over.
After a while, Tiehu prepared a table of delicious dishes.
Tie Hu had already said that he had finished eating the meat of the snow turtle and pangolin leopard, but Zhou Yang knew very well that this greedy senior brother had secretly hidden a lot of it. As expected at this moment, he actually made four dishes out of these two delicacies!
In addition, there are steamed gray carp without eyes, as well as Zhou Yang’s favorite wild venison, plus a few vegetarian dishes. The table is full, red and green, with meat and vegetables, it’s like that
, I feel appetizing just by looking at it, and it’s not much worse than the food at Wanshunlou.
After everyone sat around, they began to drink.
Pu Zheng and others tasted a few mouthfuls of animal meat and eyeless gray carp, and praised the delicious food without letting go of their chopsticks.
Ling'er also had a big appetite. After two glasses of wine, her pretty face turned red and her tongue was a little big, but it was still a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat. It was so generous that Tiehu, Li Ting and others were stunned. How could this be so good?
She has the demeanor of a young lady from an aristocratic family!
Xing'er also smiled like a flower. She looked at Sima Ling'er for a while and Zhou Yang for a while, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
But Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed. Not only did this eldest lady drink a lot, she also toasted frequently and didn't pay attention to her image at all. This problem will be corrected for her in the future. If she becomes Mrs. Zhou in the future, she must be dignified and steady.
During the banquet, Zhou Yang, Pu Zheng and others drank happily and chatted happily, talking about everything.
Pu Zheng told Zhou Yang that it was not easy for them to leave Wanjian Island this time. After Qiangxian came back, he was very different from before. He became suspicious and did not trust anyone. The only person he trusted was his daughter.
When he first returned to the sect, Qiang Xian stayed at home and ignored the defense of Wanjian Island, leaving everything to the eldest lady Qiang Xia.
Originally, Sima Ling'er wanted to take this opportunity to leave Wanjian Island, but no one thought of it. Qiang Xian suddenly left the island and announced the implementation of wartime control on Wanjian Island, and his attitude towards Sima Ling'er also changed.
The more serious thing was that he took back the island previously given to Ling'er and sent people to defend it. He also strictly ordered her to return to the island within three days, which seemed to be a form of house arrest.
Pu Zheng and other guards saw that things had changed and advocated letting Ling'er leave Wanjian Island immediately. Unexpectedly, Qiang Xian had already sent people to block the island, and Sima Ling'er and others almost became prisoners.
A few days ago, people suddenly came from the front line of Jinling Island. It was the trading company that urged Qiang Xian to lead his elite disciples to immediately go to support. The words were very strict. If you don't comply, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Wanjianmen's vitality has been severely weakened, and they must not offend Tongzhou Trading Company at this time. But if they send troops again, their own strength will be greatly damaged, and Qiangxian will immediately be in a dilemma.
Only one day later, Tongzhou Trading Company issued three more strict orders. If they did not send troops again, Tongzhou Trading Company and Cangshou Palace would directly dispatch troops from Anping City to destroy Wanjianmen first, and then move to Jinling Island.
The Tongzhou Trading Company has now taken off its mask and revealed its fangs. If Wanjian Island hesitates even a little, it will be destroyed.
Qiang Xian had no choice but to reap the consequences, holding his nose and sending Xiang Hui to lead eight thousand elites to Jinling Island.
With this incident, Qiang Xian no longer cared about Sima Ling'er. A large number of disciples were taken away at once, leaving the main island of Wanjian Island empty of guards, so he evacuated all the disciples from the island where Sima Ling'er was, and all of them shrank back to the main island.
, then they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, there were still checkpoints at Wanjianmen along the way. Too many people would easily arouse suspicion. Sima Ling'er had to lead Pu Zheng and a few others to leave the island in two groups, while the remaining dozen guards stayed there, preparing to wait for another opportunity.
Get away.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he couldn't help but secretly fear that without the strict order from Tongzhou Commercial Bank, Qiang Xian might really have put Ling'er under house arrest, and this move must have an ulterior motive.
The more he thought about it, the more horrified Zhou Yang felt. He didn't understand it at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. To Xuanfu Sect, Sima Ling'er's value should not be low. Based on this, he thought very much later.
thorough.
Sima Ling'er is the enemy of the Xuanfu Sect, and Zhou Yuanzheng will definitely want to eradicate the root cause to avoid future troubles. If anything happens to Wanjian Sect in the future, Sima Ling'er is a very important bargaining chip. Qiang Xian can make secret deals with Zhou Yuanzheng with her.
, which can be regarded as giving yourself a backup plan.
Fortunately, what happened later, and fortunately Ling'er had already planned to leave, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhou Yang sneered in his heart: "Your Wanjian Sect has been severely damaged after the battle at Jinling Island. Now you have sent eight thousand elites. Needless to say, these people will also be cannon fodder. If this is the case, hey, Wanjian Sect is in danger.
Your strong strings are even more dangerous!"
This time, he failed to steal the chicken, but lost the rice. He thought that he took advantage of Tongzhou Trading Company, but now it seems that Wanjianmen is just a chess piece in their hands! Even if you have a fake elixir realm, it is in vain, in terms of strength
In terms of scheming, you are no match for the big shopkeeper Qing Xuzi.
"Damn it, none of the major sects in Anping City are good at it. In order to achieve their own goals, they will do anything!" Zhou Yang couldn't help cursing secretly.
In fact, this is not just the case in Anping City, but also in the entire monastic world. For the benefit of their own sect and personal gains and losses, they are willing to shed rivers of blood and lay down millions of corpses.
As long as it benefits me, what does the life and death of others matter? No matter how bloody the sky is, I will watch with cold eyes. Once there is a profit, I will pounce on him and take a bite. Whether it is about punishing evil and promoting good, or about exterminating demons and protecting the way, when the time comes, they will all
Mother is an empty slogan.
Nowadays, the battle of Anping River is entirely for profit. The four Anping factions, the two Dingbei factions, and the Yinshan City Lord's Mansion must have nothing to gain and they all have their own plans.
The Anping River is thousands of miles away from you, and even if the entire river dries up, it won't hinder them. But now they are all gathered there, and they are still talking about removing the strong and supporting the weak, which is all nonsense.
No one will do a losing business.
