Jigu also understood what was going on, and cursed: "What kind of truth is this? If you go out and ask someone to look at your home, when you come back, the home will be his? Liang Jineng, do you know that you
What nonsense are you talking about?"
Taiyi also said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jineng, you mean to say that the lord of Lechang City wants to harm Hougang and seize the position of Bojun conferred by the emperor. You got the news, so you came here to remind Hougang?
"
Liang Ji said noncommittally: "Hou Gang, in short, you can't continue moving forward, and you can't return to your clan's ancestral home safely, and you can't show yourself openly in Jicheng City, otherwise you will be killed. Follow me to Lianghua River.
Well, I can keep your life safe, and I can also teach you the magic of the Immortal Family. All you need to do is leave a letter and I will send someone to the Hougang tribe."
Huwa frowned and said: "Hou Lechang did not dare to openly murder Hou Gang, so to prevent him from returning to his ancestral land, and even more to prevent him from entering Jicheng and showing his face openly, sending someone to assassinate him is the best way. But this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
If others knew about it, it would be even more impossible to send out a large team of troops, and they could only invite individual experts to come.
We walked along the bank of the river without concealing our whereabouts or rushing on the road. It is estimated that someone had already spread the news. Mr. Jineng, you waited at the market on purpose, as you had known that Hou Gang would pass by here.
, I want to choose a good place to strike. If my guess is correct, you are the assassin invited by the Lord of Lechang City, right?"
Liang Jineng glanced at Huwa and said sternly: "I'm talking to your master, what kind of cleverness are you showing off like a boy? It's only a matter of raising your hands to take your life. If you don't mind living too long, just shut up and stand."
On the side."
Hou Gang quickly turned sideways and apologized to Huwa: "Because of me, this person is rude, please don't mind!"
This move actually stunned Liang Jineng. He really didn't take Huwa seriously just now. In his eyes, it might take some trouble to deal with Jigu, but it wouldn't be a big trouble. If he didn't want to persuade Hou,
Gang Anxin left with him, and the idle people like Taiyi and Huwa were easily eliminated.
Hou Gang turned back to Liang Jineng and said: "I just remembered not only who you are, but also more past events in the clan. You were injured in danger twenty years ago and passed out on the roadside. It was Lechang who passed by who saved you.
Your life. Lechang has saved your life, and you have sworn that he can ask you for help if he has something to do.
You were not reminding me just now, but threatening me. If I ignore your advice and don't follow your suggestions, what will Mr. Jineng do? Will he turn against you on the spot and take action?"
Taiyi said unhurriedly: "This Immortal Master Jineng probably didn't want to kill anyone, otherwise he could have made a sneak attack just as he sneaked close by. However, after hesitating, he did not take action. Instead, he walked out and spoke. It should be
I want to leave you a glimmer of hope."
The corners of Liang Jineng's eyes twitched. He didn't expect that his sneaking action had already been noticed by the other party. The housekeeper probably didn't have this ability, but he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. Maybe he was discovered by the guards.
Huwa said to Hougang again: "This Mr. Jineng should have been entrusted by Lechang to assassinate him. But he didn't want to kill anyone. He wanted to leave a way for you to survive and also to leave a way for himself to escape. It was very unfortunate.
Smart. Assassinating the head of the Hougang clan on his way back would be a death penalty if found out, and would also implicate the sect and clan members.
So he had an idea and revealed his identity as the Immortal Chief of Lianghua River, and told fellow Taoist Hougang that he would suffer on this trip, so it would be better to follow him to Lianghua River to practice the secrets of the Immortal Family. Since Lechang wants the position of head of the monarch,
, he asked him to give it to Lechang. As long as Lechang is still there, fellow Taoist Hougang will never even think of leaving Lianghuachuan."
Hou Gang stared into the eyes of Liang Jineng, who had been silent, and said, "Liang Jineng, is that like this? You haven't answered my question just yet. If I reject your proposal, what will you do?"
Liang Jineng actually didn't explain anything, but the inside story of his coming here was revealed in a few words by several people in front of him. He couldn't help but became angry and said: "Hou Gang, you and your men are very smart, but smart people should know
Shi Wu, you know what to do! The Lord of Lechang City really wants me to intercept you in the middle of the road. But I want to leave you a way of survival and retreat. Only with good intentions will I show up to meet you.
Now the situation is no longer up to you to decide. Even if you don't want to go with me, I will take you back to Lianghuachuan and send a message to the Hougang clan. Do you want to follow me yourself or let me take action?
Take you away?"
Hougang's face darkened and he said, "Do you know what your crime is for threatening your life and trying to rob the head of the Hougang clan in the territory of the Hougang clan? Since you didn't kill me directly, I will leave you alone for the time being.
Life... take it!"
Before he finished speaking, Taiyi took action. What Liang Jineng was just guarding against was Chigu. At this moment, he noticed that Hou Gang's tone was not good, and he had already sacrificed a long spike-shaped magic weapon, which he had found in the sect.
However, before he could make any other moves, he suddenly felt that the world was darkened and he didn't know where he was. Just as he was about to struggle, invisible magic came over him. His magical power had been sealed, and even the artifact was lost.
The original life of Taiyi was eight thousand years, and Taiyi, who had cultivated his spiritual wisdom for eight hundred years, was much higher than Liang Ji in terms of cultivation level and magical power. He also suddenly launched a sneak attack and sacrificed
The Dao Aquarius usually looks like a narrow-mouthed bottle slightly larger than a palm. After collecting Liang Jineng, Taiyi held it in his hand and shook it deliberately. This shake brought the magic power to activate the artifact, and he was trapped in it.
In the artifact space, Liang Jin could turn over so many times that his internal organs were almost shaken out.
Huwa looked at Hou Gang and said: "Your clan brother is really enthusiastic. I heard that you were going to return home and be named Bojun, and he actually sent a Dacheng monk to intercept you on the way. And Liang Ji is worthy of his honor.
He has a great level of cultivation, but he is not stupid. He came up with a better idea. He would either scare you away, trick you away, or kidnap you. In short, he would make you worship him as his teacher and take you to Liang.
Cultivating in the flowers and rivers will solve all the problems."
Taiyi sighed: "Mr. Cangjie is still here, how can they have such courage?"
Hou Gang sighed: "It's either them or him. Their selfish desires are so inflated that they would secretly plan such a thing. As for my master, others don't know. They only know that he has ascended to heaven or has left."
Human world."
Jigu also sighed: "Oh, we have seen a lot of this kind of thing in the world!" If Huwa or Taiyi had such a sigh, there would be nothing wrong with it. But now that the little demon has also expressed such a sigh, it seems that
He is also unconsciously imitating the style of the immortal masters.
Hougang looked in the direction of Jicheng and said: "I don't care about the position of king, but I care about my people. How can I let the conspiracy of people like Lechang succeed? Since he is so enthusiastic, we can't
If you don't live up to it, take Liang Jineng and go directly to Jiancheng to find him. As the leader of the king, I will practice family law this time."
Hou Gang is not an incompetent person. Regardless of his cultivation level or not, he has even done Ba Guoxue Zheng. How can he not be able to deal with a small city lord? What's more, he is also the leader of the clan. In fact, as long as he enters the
If Cheng appeared in public, it would be difficult for Lechang to deal with it. He didn't intend to go around in circles. To deal with such conspiracies, he could just point it out directly based on his status.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone rested in the mountains for the night, and walked out of the mountains and forests the next morning to continue on their way. Hougang no longer had any magical power, so everyone did not walk fast, just like other pedestrians. In fact, they walked along the river.
There was nothing unusual about this journey, so Liang Jineng made a mistake in his judgment when he got the news and rushed to take action.
Walking on the road, the little demon murmured again and again: "Master Hougang, fortunately we came back with you. If you were alone, you might have been captured by Liang Jineng."
Hou Gang just smiled and didn't say anything. But Huwa said to Jigu: "Go through the tribulations you have to go through. This is cultivation. The path to heaven is not only the practice of secret methods, but also the worldly things you have experienced. If so
Hougang alone can directly identify himself at another city wall and ask the city lord to send chariots, horses and military formations to escort him."
Jigu added: "When we parted from Emperor Danzhu, Lord Boyi once said that we might encounter trouble on this trip. Could this be what he was referring to?"
Hou Gang shook his head and said: "Just Lechang and Jineng are not serious troubles in the eyes of Lord Boyi. If I can't even handle these things, then I don't have to come back to be the leader. Lord Boyi should be another one."
Something pointed out."
After walking for more than twenty miles, we saw a city outline in front of us. In the era of the Qing Emperor lineage, there was a city here. Five hundred years ago, the Yanhuang War and the great battle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou once destroyed this city outline.
Most of it was destroyed and has now been rebuilt. Its size is similar to that of Yeliang City on Bayuan, but the population within the city's jurisdiction is half that of Yeliang City.
It is difficult to verify the ancient events, but since Xuanyuan defeated Chi You, the territory of the Hougang family has been in this area. Similar to the situation in Ba Yuan, although the city lord was appointed by the emperor, the candidates often came from the largest local people.
Tribal power, so in the past four hundred years, all the successive lords of Jicheng City were born in the Hougang family.
Whoever the emperor wants to appoint as the city lord must consult the head of the Hougang clan and select the most suitable candidate from the tribe. Lechang served as the city lord twenty years ago and is now nearly fifty years old, while Hougang is only twenty
Eight years old. If Hougang returns, Lechang will not only lose the authority to take charge of tribal affairs, but if Hougang has other ideas, he will not even be able to keep his position as city lord.
Bojun is just a title with no actual position, and he only enjoys a noble status in the tribe, while the city lord truly controls the civil, military and financial power of a city. Although the title of Bojun is usually much higher than that of the city lord, he is still young.
Hou Gang can also serve as the city lord himself, but Lechang is even more worried about this kind of thing.
Therefore, Lechang's thinking is understandable. Since he can recruit a master like Liang Jineng, he might as well kill Hou Gang halfway. In this way, not only can he keep his position as the city lord, but he himself can even become a canonized by the emperor.
Bojun. It's a pity that Hougang is not so easy to deal with. Liang Ji was captured by mistake, but Hougang has already arrived in front of the city gate. (To be continued.)
