The two guards looked at each other and stepped forward at the same time, blocking the young man behind them. They were indeed loyal to their family, and they would fight to the death even though they knew they were outmatched.
It's a pity that although their strength far exceeds that of the other guards, like the old man, they have no power to fight back in front of Qianye. As the sound of the waves of the sea sounds again, and the unrivaled weight of the sea falls, they only have time to let out a scream.
, he was crushed until all his bones burst into pieces, and he fell to the ground dead.
The young master finally collapsed.
Qianye knelt down in front of him, patted his face with a blood-sucking blade, and asked, "As the young master of the Tian family, why are you here?"
How could this young man dare to hide it? He said hurriedly: "I got the news that Dark Fire has been crippled, leaving only an empty frame. The caravan that robbed Dark Fire was easy and rich, and I... I just want to do it
One vote is enough to show the uncles at home that I, Tian Pengju, is the perfect candidate for the head of the family. It is completely in vain for those people to try to recommend my eldest brother to the position!"
"So, who spread the news?"
"The news was revealed to me by a man named Old Cat. His information is always accurate and he often hangs out in the Journey Tavern. This damn old cat also took five hundred gold coins from me. When I go back, he will definitely not let it go.
Get over him!"
"You don't have to worry about this." Qianye said calmly. The blood-sucking blade flashed and pierced into his chest.
At the moment of life and death, the young man burst out with unimaginable potential. He actually grabbed Qianye's wrist and shouted: "Don't kill me. I, I can work for you. I will listen to you in everything. You help me up."
As the head of the family, everything in the Tian family belongs to us, no, no, it all belongs to you!"
"The Tian family's stuff is really too little." Qianye added a little more force and shattered all his resistance, and the blade of the blood-sucking blade pierced his heart.
Qianye quickly sheathed the knife, because his life ended too quickly, and because he was extremely nervous before his death, the young man still maintained his kneeling posture, never falling down, and turned into a landscape in the wilderness.
Qianye got up, ran back to the convoy, jumped into the lead car, and said, "Let's go."
The deacon asked cautiously: "Sir, is your opponent very tough this time?"
Qianye said calmly: "Okay, it seems to be some young master from the Tian family. He has been killed by me."
"Master Tian? Is he the one named Tian Pengju?"
"It seems so, I don't remember clearly either."
The deacon had a crying face and said, "Did your Excellency destroy the body and eliminate all traces of it?"
"I don't have the time."
The deacon said repeatedly: "Well, what should we do? The Tian family is quite powerful in Guanlan City, so we may be in trouble during this trip."
Qianye finally looked at him and said, "Why, are you afraid?"
The deacon shuddered and said: "What are you talking about? There is no reason to be afraid when you are with the adults!"
Qianye said: "It's okay if you're not afraid. If you are, you don't have to go with the caravan next time."
The deacon nodded and bowed, and said hurriedly: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid!"
Qianye closed his eyes and said nothing, motioning with his hands for the caravan to move forward. The deacon got off the lead car and returned to his own car. After recovering from his shock, he whispered to himself: "Whether I, Qiao Liang, can follow the caravan, it's not you who can
It’s decided! Humph, who do you think you are, that you want to influence my affairs in Rongcheng Trading Company?”
Little did he know that Qianye's eyes were closed tightly, but his ears were slightly twitching, and he had already received these words in his ears.
After the Tian family's hunting team was wiped out, the mercenary hunters in the wilderness seemed to have smelled the danger and all disappeared. In the end, there were no obstacles on the road and they arrived at Guanlan City without any hindrance.
Before the caravan entered the city, they saw Xue Wu waiting outside the city gate. When he saw Qianye, he bowed first and said: "The Xue family has been waiting here for a long time." Then he jumped on the lead car and said to Qianye: "
It is truly a blessing to see you again, sir."
Qianye nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after we enter the city."
With Xue Wu coming forward, the caravan naturally moved forward unimpeded. On the way, Xue Wu said: "Sir, the elders and heads of each family are already waiting. Do you want to rest first or go over now?"
"No need to rest, let's do it now."
Xue Wu immediately turned the leading car and drove towards the city center, while the other vehicles drove to the inn as planned. After a while, the leading car stopped in front of an antique and uniquely decorated teahouse. Xue Wu took the lead and led Qianye
Go up to the top floor and step into a quiet and elegant quiet room.
There were five or six old men in the room, with different expressions, some were excited, some were doubtful, and some were vaguely hostile.
Qianye glanced around and said, "Have all the families in the city arrived? The number seems a bit small, right?"
Xue Wu lowered his voice and said: "Some of them were temporarily unavailable and could not be present. Please forgive me."
Qianye said calmly: "Is there anything so important that it affects the survival of the family? Since they don't want to come, they are seeking their own death. It doesn't matter if they don't come."
At that moment, an old man with a red face became angry. He slammed the table hard and shouted: "Sir Qianye, there is something wrong with what you said!"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"I would like to know, our family has lived in Guanlan City for hundreds of years. What kind of storms and waves have we not seen? Where does the life and death that the Lord talks about come from?"
Qianye didn't answer for now, but sat down in the middle, regardless of the old man's fire-like gaze. After sitting down, Qianye asked: "Have these families continued until now?"
"certainly!"
"So, last time I fought in the city, didn't even a single family get wiped out?"
Qianye's question immediately caused the red-faced old man's complexion to change again and again until it turned red and purple. There was also a deathly silence in the entire quiet room, which was indescribably embarrassing.
Qianye's battle crippled several small vassal families. They are just empty names now. They will naturally disappear after a while. The reason why they still retain their family names is because it takes time to annex the industry.
How to coordinate interests also takes time. So it is indeed a bit contrary to insist on saying that not a single family in Qianye has been wiped out. Although these families are small, they have a long history. When it comes to the families in Guanlan City, they cannot be excluded no matter what.
Except for the red-faced old man, everyone else also felt embarrassed. Some looked up at the sky and pretended that the matter had nothing to do with them, while others stared at the tea cups in front of them without squinting. Even Xue Wu didn't know how to persuade him.
In the end, it was the elders of the Xue family who came out to smooth things over, saying: "The battle that day was really a misunderstanding, and we all paid the price. Never forget the past, and be the guide for the future. Since Master Qianye is here for cooperation, we should do our best.
Cooperate and see if there is anything we can work with. In these troubled times, it is wise to unite to strengthen both sides, and to divide both sides."
As soon as the old man said this, everyone felt relieved and agreed one after another. Even the red-faced old man no longer looked at Qianye.
In fact, apart from the victory of Guanlan City in one battle when the Wolf King came to the throne, Qianye dealt the heaviest blow to any family. In terms of losses, the Xue family suffered the most. Previously, the Xue family had outstanding strength and could often be dealt with in one fell swoop.
What was said was a decision. Now everything had to be discussed. Although the nominal leadership position remained unchanged, in reality it was far worse than before the war.
The Xue family was the first to express their attitude, and everyone agreed, and Xue Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this cooperation was basically completed.
However, Qianye said: "It is good to be strong together if we work together, but not necessarily to hurt both if we divide. Elder Xue seems to think too highly of the families in Guanlan City."
Elder Xue was startled at first, and then became furious, but he knew very well that the strength of the Dark Fire in Nan Qingcheng was not something that the Xue family could compete with, so he had nowhere to vent his anger. The red-faced old man couldn't bear it again at this moment and made sarcastic remarks.
, "Master Qianye may have too high a view of An Huo."
Qianye said calmly: "I was so blocked that the caravans in Chao City could not leave the city. Although City Lord Luo could not leave the city, it seems that there is no such person as City Lord Luo in Guanlan City."
The red-faced old man laughed angrily and said, "Do you mean to say that it can also block us from leaving the city?"
"What's the difficulty?"
The red-faced old man choked on the spot and stood up, but he didn't know how to attack. If you think about it carefully, with Qianye's stealth and long-range sniping ability, anyone caught by him will die. In this case,
Who dares to leave the city? The big shots in these families are all risking their lives.
However, Guanlan City can be entered and exited from all four sides. Qianye can at most block two sides at the same time, and the other two sides will certainly not be taken into account. Therefore, the idea of sealing the city is also an exaggeration. But what can I say? Could it be that you dare to block the south gate?
Shall I take the north gate? The elders present are not that thick-skinned.
During the stalemate, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and a tall old man rushed in. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Where is Qianye? Give my grandson his life!"
Qianye looked back and looked at the old man coldly. Xue Wu stood up quickly, stopped the old man who broke in, and said: "Why are you here, Uncle Tian? Master Qianye is now not only a distinguished guest of my Xue family, but also a distinguished guest of Guanlan City.
If there is any misunderstanding, you might as well sit down and talk it over slowly after the big deal is over."
The hidden meaning of Xue Wu's words was very obvious, but the old man named Tian was so angry that he refused to listen and shouted: "Misunderstanding? Someone saw with their own eyes that my grandson died at the hands of this person. Is this still a misunderstanding?"
Xue Wu frowned. He didn't expect it to be so difficult. He didn't know how to dissuade him for a moment. At this time, Qianye stood up and said, "Is the person you are talking about named Tian Pengju?"
The old man glared angrily and said, "It's my grandson! Just admit it!"
Qianye sneered, "Why don't you dare to admit it? He led a team to ambush my caravan, and he deserved to die. Before I had time to ask your Tian family to question him, you came to the door yourself."
Mr. Tian said angrily: "Pengju was just going for a safari in the wilderness, why did he intercept your caravan? Besides, even if he intercepted the wrong caravan, he would not be punished with death. According to the rules of the East China Sea, even if he intercepted the wrong caravan,
My Tian family can pay for the goods, but it can’t harm my grandson’s life!”
Qianye said slowly: "The rules of the East China Sea are not my rules. And my rules are, whoever dares to plot against the dark fire, I will uproot him and leave no one behind. If you don't want to act according to my rules,
