Chapter forty-eight: open and secret struggle

After a long time, the entire Wang family finally became quiet. Countless people from the Xiao family retreated like the tide again. This time, the Xiao family could be said to be completely victorious, and Xiao Ran's worries were temporarily put aside.

"Let's go back too!" After looking around, Xiao Ran said to Tian Lao and the elders around him.

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, the elders next to them nodded slightly, and looked at Xiao Ran with slightly different eyes. After Xiao Ran killed Wang Huatian with a sword just now, they no longer dared to treat this seemingly harmless person in front of them.

The boy and the trash became connected.

While walking, Xiao Ran suddenly frowned, and then, with everyone's slightly stunned eyes, he suddenly walked towards the position of Wang Feng, who had turned into pus.

After squatting down and carefully looking at the blood stains on the ground, Xiao Ran suddenly used a dagger to push away the clothes covering it.

Suddenly, a simple ring suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ran's eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes. Xiao Ran immediately picked it up with a dagger, wiped it clean, and then turned around and walked back.

"Hey, a space ring?" Tian Lao raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise when he looked at the simple black ring in Xiao Ran's hand. Several elders nearby heard Tian Lao's voice and turned around to look at Xiao Ran.

.

Seeing Xiao Ran slightly nodding, the eyes of these elders almost popped out of their heads. The space ring, a magical ring that can store goods, the specific refining method seems to have disappeared. Anyway, one is used less, except for the sect.

Yes, it is impossible for some small sects to retain space rings.

Now when they saw Xiao Ran take one off Wang Feng, they were shocked.

"Okay, we have gained a lot this time. Let's go. By the way, arrange for a few people to set the whole palace on fire. To the outside world, let's just say that the whole palace died in the fire!" Xiao Ran said lightly, and the few people behind him immediately raised their eyebrows secretly.

With his thumb drawn, this idea is probably something that only a playboy like Xiao Ran can come up with, right?

........

A night passed like this. During the entire night, most of the entire Tianwu City was completely shrouded in the sky-high firelight, and the entire palace was completely burned overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, countless kinds of gossip continued to spread throughout Tianwu City. The first big event was naturally the Wang family. The entire Wang family was completely destroyed by fire overnight. There were nearly five hundred people among them, and no one survived.

Also, it leaves everyone speculating on various reasons.

The second thing was that the owner of Zuixian Tower disappeared overnight, and the Xiao family naturally inherited the management rights of Zuixian Tower.

These two incidents set off a storm in this small Tianwu City. Countless people were wondering in their hearts what was going on. Is it going to change?

Although outsiders are speculating, there are two families who are not having it easy, namely the Lin family and the Zhao family. They had already received the news after the Wang family was destroyed last night. Knowing that this was the action of the Xiao family, they were all uneasy.

They have already formed an alliance with the Wang family and are preparing to work with them to deal with the Xiao family. Now that the Xiao family has been destroyed, the two families are naturally worried about what will happen next?

No, because he was too worried, Lin Feng, the head of the Lin family, came to the Zhao family and the Zhao family early in the morning, preparing to discuss with Zhao Gao, the head of the Zhao family, what should be done next.

But at this moment, the voice of the servant outside suddenly rang.

"Master, the deacon of the Xiao family is here and wants to talk to you!" After the servant's voice sounded, there was a burst of footsteps.

"Ask him to come in!" Lin Feng and Zhao Gao, who were talking, immediately stopped talking, looked at each other with greatly changed expressions, and then said calmly.

The deacon who came over from the Xiao family managed the store business outside the Xiao family. After the deacon walked in, he glanced at the two people sitting in their seats and said, "I didn't expect that the head of the Lin family is here, too. That's fine."

You saved me a trip!" The deacon who walked in looked at Lin Feng sitting aside and was obviously stunned, and then laughed.

This deacon is in charge of external transactions of the Xiao family. He often deals with several other families and has a relatively good relationship with them. He naturally knows these family heads, so he chuckled directly.

"Uh, what's wrong with you two? Don't you look good? Is there something going on in the family?" Xiao Wanqiang, the deacon of the Xiao family, saw that the expressions of the two people sitting on the chairs were not natural, and asked immediately.

"Uh, it's okay. We were just discussing the recent development of the family. I wonder why Brother Wan Qiang came here this time?" The head of the Zhao family came to his senses first, and the awkward look on his face disappeared instantly, and he stood up

Get up and say.

"Come here, serve tea!" Zhao Gao ordered.

"Haha, Mr. Zhao is too polite. It's just that our old man saw that the Wang family had been completely burned by a fire, so he asked me to invite the two heads of the family to go to the Xiao family to discuss how to divide the territories under the Wang family!" Xiao Wanqiang!

He looked at the two people standing up and said with a smile.

"Well? Is there such a thing?" Lin Feng said first. As soon as the words came out, he realized something was wrong and immediately changed his words: "Isn't the old man planning to run it by himself?"

This sentence is not only superficial, but also a way for them to test the attitude of the Xiao family. If the Xiao family is prepared to deal with them, they will definitely not give them any management rights. If they are given, then their original plan will have to change. After all,

The power gap between them and the Xiao family is there. Even the Wang family was wiped out overnight, how could they resist?

Xiao Wanqiang is not an idiot. After hearing this sentence, he naturally understood that there was something weird in it. However, thinking of Xiao Tian's explanation before leaving, he said again: "Do you think our Xiao family has such a big appetite? We Xiao

As the city lord's palace, we naturally have to consider the overall development of Tianwu City, and our three families have been friends for generations, so we naturally came to discuss it with you, are you right?" Xiao Wanqiang said with a smile.

"Haha, this is natural. If this is the case, then you go back first and we will prepare and go later!" Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, in that case, I'll take my leave first!" After saying this, Xiao Wanqiang turned around, cupped his fists, and walked outside. He was indeed very busy, and was preparing to accept the management rights of Zuixian Tower.

After Xiao Wanqiang left, Zhao Gao and Lin Feng's expressions kept changing, and they fell into silence for a while.

"Brother Zhao, what do you think the Xiao family's purpose is this time? Do you want to take the opportunity to annex our two families?" Lin Feng was a cautious person, and he looked at Zhao Gao and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao frowned immediately. It's not that he didn't know that Lin Feng was cautious, but now that things have come to a head, if he avoids it, it will probably be even more disastrous; and the Xiao family has not made any extraordinary moves now.

If they don't go, it will be even more obvious that there is a ghost.

After calculating the gains and losses, Zhao Gao said softly: "This time, no matter what, we have to go. If we go, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we don't go, we really won't be able to explain it. Besides, the Xiao family will know."

What was our previous plan? I believe the Xiao family won't care too much.

Having made up their minds, the two of them turned around and walked out, heading towards the location of the Xiao family in the City Lord's Mansion.
