A few minutes later, the two passed through the back door of the compound and came to a cave.
There were no guards at the door anymore, so they probably all ran to the front yard.
Ling Hao looked around and saw a middle-aged man slumped on the ground.
The clothes on his body were shabby, his hair was unkempt, his beard hung down on his chest, his eyes were hollow and lifeless, and his whole body was extremely weak.
The man is none other than the former head of the Xiao clan, Xiao Penghui!
It's just that now, he doesn't have the slightest sense of being a wealthy man. He is worse than a beggar on the roadside.
Murong Zhenxiu was really cruel to make his biological son look like this!
"Dad!" Xiao Lingxue ran over quickly.
"Xiao...Xiaoxue?" Hearing Xiao Lingxue's voice, a rare flash of light flashed in Xiao Penghui's empty eyes.
The two fathers and daughters can survive today only because they support each other. Otherwise, they may have chosen to commit suicide long ago.
"Dad..." Xiao Lingxue came over, her tears flowed out uncontrollably, and then she helped Xiao Penghui sit down on a big rock.
"Xiaoxue... why are you here today? It shouldn't be... it's not the time yet, right?" Xiao Penghui said with difficulty.
After a slight pause, he glanced at Ling Hao from the corner of his eye and asked again, "Xiao...Xiaoxue, he...who is he..."
"Dad, he is..." Xiao Lingxue took a deep breath and spoke.
Plop!
Before Xiao Lingxue finished speaking, Ling Hao came to Xiao Penghui and knelt down directly, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Uncle Xiao, it's all because of me that you became like this. I'm late, I'm sorry!"
After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Xiao Penghui three times.
The King of the West, Ling Shuai, knelt down on his knees in front of the sky and his parents on the ground. It was entirely because of him that Xiao Penghui fell into this situation. He could afford Ling Hao to kneel down!
"You...you are?" Xiao Penghui was slightly stunned.
"Dad...he is brother Ling Yi..." Xiao Lingxue choked.
"What...what!?" Xiao Penghui exclaimed with difficulty.
After a slight pause, he shook his head vigorously, "No...impossible. The eldest young master was killed five years ago. He can't be the eldest young master..."
"Uncle Xiao, I am really Murong Lingyi. I was saved by someone five years ago." Ling Hao took a deep breath and responded.
"You...are you really the eldest...young master?" Hearing Ling Hao's words, Xiao Penghui's eyes perked up and his whole body trembled. "Big...young master, you...get up quickly..."
Then, he shakily stood up from the stone, bent his legs and knelt down to salute Ling Hao.
"Uncle Xiao, you can't do it!" Ling Hao stood up and supported Xiao Penghui's body.
"Young Master...Then why are you here..." Xiao Penghui said in a trembling voice.
"Uncle Xiao, let's leave here first and talk as we walk." Ling Hao then helped Xiao Penghui walk into the courtyard.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them came to a pavilion in the courtyard and sat down. Ling Hao also introduced the matter to Xiao Penghui.
"I see!"
After listening to Ling Hao's words, Xiao Penghui finally understood.
At the same time, I also found out that Ling Hao was the Western King Ling Shuai, and my heart was even more disturbed!
Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog sons!
Kick! Kick! Kick!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps sounded, and then Xuan Pang was seen walking over quickly.
"Brother, people from several yamen in the capital have come, clamoring to denounce the Yingmen." After arriving, Xuan Pang first looked at Xiao Penghui and then turned to Ling Hao and spoke.
"Eldest...eldest young master, there are many people in the Xiao family who serve in various departments and departments. I guess the people here are not good-natured. Please let me go out and tell them." Xiao Penghui said.
"Uncle Xiao, you don't need to come forward to do this. You can rest here for a while, and I'll come back after I go out and take a look." Ling Hao responded.
Then he looked at Xuan Pang, "Uncle Xiao and Xiaoxue leave it to you. You can help them check their physical condition."
"Got it!" Xuan Pang nodded vigorously.
Three minutes later, Ling Hao arrived at the front yard square.
Looking around, there were many people lying in various places on the square, either dead or maimed. They were the same people who had besieged Cang Lang before.
The five Canglang people stood in the center of the square. Opposite them stood several groups of people, led by six men of varying ages. Each of them was followed by a hundred followers, all of whom had extremely angry looks on their faces.
"Brother!" After seeing Ling Hao, Cang Lang and others said at the same time.
"Yeah!" Ling Hao nodded slightly and came to the five people.
"Zhongtiansi, Xiao Yunfei, see Ling Shuai"
"Secretary of Imperial Guards, Xiao Yunpeng, see Ling Shuai!"
"Department of Health, Xiao Jiping, see Ling Shuai!"
"Northern District War Department, Xiao Jiping, see Ling Shuai!"
"..."
After seeing Ling Hao, the six leading men each took a deep breath and bowed to Ling Hao.
Although they are also in high positions of authority and are here to question Ling Hao Xingshi today, they must not forget the basic etiquette.
No matter from which point of view, Lingshuai, the King of the West, was above them in identity and status, so they naturally had to salute and greet him.
"Are you here to attack my shadow sect?" Ling Hao glanced at the six people and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't dare!" one of them said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.
"However, Marshal Ling led the five governors of the Shadow Clan to the Xiao family without any discrimination and started killing everyone."
"Not only did the Xiao family suffer hundreds of casualties, but they also killed all the core members of the Xiao family such as Lafayette and the family leader. This approach is too cruel!"
"And as far as I know, the Xiao family has not committed any major crime and needs to be punished so severely by the Shadow Clan!"
Although these people are not direct descendants of the Xiao family, they have all been trained by the family to reach their current position, and they have more or less certain feelings for the family.
The most important thing is that now all the powerful Lafayette and the valve have been killed, which will definitely have a great impact on their career, and it is very likely that they will stop here in their lifetime.
Therefore, my heart is naturally full of hostility towards Yingmen!
"That's right!" Another person echoed angrily, "I hope Ling Shuai can give us a reasonable explanation!"
"Otherwise, no matter what level this matter goes to today, we will definitely accompany you!"
"A bunch of idiots!" The judge frowned and pointed the knife at the opponent. "If you want to take action, hurry up and stop talking nonsense!"
"Judge, as one of the governors of the Shadow Clan, I hope you will pay attention to your identity!" The man frowned, and a coldness spread from him.
"What, you want to take action? I'm with you anytime!" Zhuihun raised his knife and took two steps.
Cang Lang, Han Yue and Ye Ji, although they did not speak, they simultaneously drew out the Lengyue Scimitar from their bodies, releasing all their aura.
"You...what do you want to do? I'm warning you, this is the capital, and you are not allowed to mess around." Another short-haired man took a deep breath and continued.
"In the past two years, your Shadow Sect has become more and more unruly, arrogant, and lawless. Do you really think that no one can control you?"
"What's your name?" Ling Hao looked at the other party with narrowed eyes.
