As soon as Wen Hao and others left, a figure flew from a distance and stopped at the place where the black shadow was standing just now. This person was an old man in light yellow robe, and his whole body exuded an approachable and kind atmosphere.
, but his fierce gaze shows that his strength is unfathomable.
The old man turned his head and glanced around, then moved his gaze to the direction where the black shadow disappeared, snorted, and quickly shot into the distance again.
"Captain, brothers found that someone was asking for information about us in the city." Lei Jun walked into Wen Hao's room and said with a gloomy face.
"Who is it?" Wen Hao smiled at him.
Lei Jun was specially transferred from Guannan to the Gaoyang City Branch because he was the only person besides Wu Yong who was meticulous and could stand alone.
"It's from the Lion and Tiger Mercenary Group." Lei Jun said in a deep voice.
"Oh, they finally came here?" When Wen Hao heard the Lion and Tiger Mercenary Group, he suddenly thought of the mercenary team who wanted to surrender himself and hand over the secret recipe of the potion in the Wanbeast Forest. Unexpectedly, it was almost a year later.
After passing, the other party actually came up.
"The other party probably already knew that we had killed their people." Lei Jun said in a deep voice again.
"So what if you know?" Wen Hao smiled indifferently. If it were before, he was a little worried about the Lion and Tiger Mercenary Group. After all, the other party had three masters of the Sword Emperor, but now, he was not afraid at all.
, I now have three sword emperors, and I am not at all lost to the Lion and Tiger Mercenary Group. If I really fight, I can't say who wins and who loses.
After thinking about it, Wen Hao said again: "Since the other party is still investigating, it seems that they are not sure that we killed the person. Since that's the case, you can take a few brothers to get rid of all their people in Gaoyang City.
Let’s tell them the truth that our people are indeed killed by us. I want to see how they can do us?”
After pausing, Wen Hao continued: "Remember to do it cleanly. After all, the Xue family is the owner of this place, so we have to give them some face."
"This..." It turned out that Lei Jun felt that it was inappropriate to persuade Wen Hao, but thinking about Wen Hao's personality and his current strength, he swallowed the words back and nodded immediately and said, "I understand.
”
Seeing the hesitation flashing across Lei Jun's face just now, Wen Hao laughed and said, "Lei Jun, you have to remember that our iron blood is no longer the iron blood we used to be, and we no longer have to be a human being with our tails as we used to be.
If you still swallow your anger everywhere like before and regard harmony as you used to be, you will be looked down upon by others. Only by being moderately strong can others see your strength."
"Thank you for your teachings from the regiment commander. Lei Jun will be cautious and will not weaken my iron-blooded reputation." A trace of firmness flashed in Lei Jun's eyes and said.
"Very good." Wen Hao nodded, remembering the Tianlang who was still in Guannan, and said again: "You can go to the medicine shop here to see if there is any red flame fruit, and buy me one for you."
"Okay." Lei Jun nodded and then left the room, and Wen Hao also began to refine the energy that was sucked out of Xue Junjie's body today.
Early the next morning, Xue Zhihong hurried to the branch of Tiexue in Gaoyang. Although Wen Hao did not tell him about this place, as he was the city lord, if he could not even find out this, he would not be ashamed to be a person.
This city lord is here.
Wen Hao looked a little haggard. With the help of the iron sword, Xue Zhihong, who had already been sitting here with Lei Jun, stood up immediately when he saw Wen Hao and asked with concern: "I heard that Brother Wen met on the way back yesterday.
The strong man stopped him. He should have come here yesterday, but he thought that my brothers should need time to rest, so he came today. I'm really sorry."
With the two consecutive treatments, Xue Junjie's health is getting better and better, and the relationship between the Xue family and Tiexue has also increased. Now Xue Zhihong has reduced his identity and called Wen Hao a brother, although it is just a title.
It’s just a change, but if you really understand the reason, you will understand what this means. This means that in the future, the Xue family and Tiexue will become a die-hard ally.
"It's a blessing for Brother Xue." Wen Hao bowed to Xue Zhihong and thanked him with gratitude.
"Why should we be so polite among our brothers?" Xue Zhihong waved his hand, and then his face became gloomy again and said, "We have found out that the poisoning of Junjie was done by another wealthy family in the city. I believe that the man yesterday was the one who was poisoned by Junjie.
He is also from the Huang family.”
"Huang family?" Wen Hao asked in confusion: "Why do they want to harm the noble son? Do you have any grudges?"
"The revenge is not considered, but there are many grudges." Xue Zhihong said in a deep voice: "In this Gaoyang City, besides our Xue family, the Huang family is the only wealthy family. The two families have existed for two or three hundred years.
, and since the two families appeared, they have been competing for the position of the lord of Gaoyang City, each with their own victory or defeat, and the position of the lord of the city is also passed on between our two families."
"It was only fifty years ago that the Huang family, which was originally comparable to ours, experienced civil strife, which weakened the family's strength a lot. From then on, there was no strength to take the position of the city lord from our Xue family. It only took decades to do so
After resting, the strength of the Huang family has now been restored, and our Xue family..."
As he said that, Xue Zhihong sighed heavily and said, "I believe Brother Wen also knows that in our Xue family, there are only me and Meng Lin, and the next generation, not to mention Junjie, and his body is still...
…”
"In this situation of increasing and declining one another, our Xue family has been suppressed by the growing Huang family over the years. But I didn't expect that the Huang family would start calculating ten years ago. Now, with the poisoning of Junjie, he is now
If it is exposed, the Huang family will definitely not wait any longer. I am afraid that it will attack my Xue family by then."
"Since the Huang family suffered a great loss in civil strife fifty years ago, why don't you take the opportunity to suppress it?" Wen Hao frowned and asked. Fights between families like this are definitely the most cruel.
If you have the chance, you will never let the other party rekindle, so Wen Hao feels that the Huang family is still strange now.
"Why don't we want to destroy the Huang family and let our Xue family dominate? But the lean camel is bigger than a horse. If both sides fight hard, even though they can be destroyed, our strength will definitely be greatly damaged.
Then you will not be able to suppress other forces, and it will be other forces that get benefits." Xue Zhihong said helplessly.
Nodded, Wen Hao understood that there are always many concerns about doing things in such a large family. In Gaoyang City, although the Xue and Huang families have the greatest power, there are still some forces that are suppressed by them. If Xue and Huang are the two
Once the power of the family is reduced, those forces will inevitably take the opportunity to emerge.
After pausing, Xue Zhihong continued: "In addition to this, there is another biggest reason. In addition to the royal family of Jin, our Ming Dynasty, there are four major families, namely Zhou, Wang, Yu, and Hai.
,The four major families are very powerful. Apart from the royal family, they are the strongest. If other forces want to survive in the Ming Dynasty, they must rely on them."
"The Huang family is dependent on the Hai family. If we rashly destroy the Huang family and annoy the Hai family, they will definitely take revenge on us. At that time, we may not be far from destruction."
"Then which family are you Xue attached to?" Wen Hao asked curiously. These things were nothing strange to him. This world was originally about the survival of the strong, and the weak depended on the strong.
The Wen family also has many dependent forces.
"We are dependent on the Wang family." Xue Zhihong's voice was a little low, and it was not very glorious to say that it was dependent on others' survival.
"How is the relationship between the Wang family and the Hai family?" Wen Hao frowned and thought for a while and asked.
"The power is the same as water and fire." Xue Zhihong expressed the relationship between the two families in just a few short words.
"Then now the Huang family is going to take action against your Xue family, what are you going to do?" When Xue Zhihong came here to tell them about the grudges between them and the Huang family, Wen Hao guessed the real purpose of his coming here. Now he must know more about it.
Only by making the final judgment can one make.
"He Huang's family actually used poisoning to cause my son's pain for ten years. I must avenge this hatred." Xue Zhihong said gritting his teeth, clenched his fists, and his whole body exuded a cold feeling.
"But as you said just now, if you fight with the Huang family, your Xue family has little chance of winning!" Wen Hao asked indifferently, tapping his knees.
Xue Zhihong frowned. It was not until this time that he realized that he seemed to have been guided by the other party after he came here. Although he was originally here to form an alliance and seek help, this passive position made him very unnatural.
, in this case, you will definitely make more benefits and benefits.
But at the same time, Xue Zhihong also understood that if he didn't mention it today, he would probably have no chance in the future. After thinking about the strength of the Huang family and the suffering his children suffered over the years, Xue Zhihong finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
: "So I want to ask you to help me. You also know that when you helped my son detoxify, you had offended the Huang family. If my Xue family was defeated in this battle, there might be some people who were exterminated by the other party, but
Similarly, after solving the enemy of my Xue family, the Huang family will dominate this Gaoyang City. At that time, it will definitely deal with you. No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will definitely not be easy."
"And now, if we use our two families' strengths, it will not be difficult to destroy the Huang family. At that time, Gaoyang City will be our world within a hundred miles."
"What will happen to the Hai family behind him if you destroy the Huang family?" Wen Hao had no expression on his face, and he could not see his joy or anger, but at the same time, he was thinking in his heart whether it was worth offending another major force for the sake of the Xue family.
"Each of the four major families has many dependent forces. Unless these dependent forces have special relationship with them, they generally don't care." Xue Zhihong pondered for a while and said, "What's more, there is a Wang family behind us, although
The two families have the same power, but they will not fight because of our grudges. After all, the strength of the two forces is almost the same, and Zhou Yu and the two families are eyeing each other, so they dare not act rashly."
Wen Hao lowered his head and thought again, while Xue Zhihong looked at him anxiously. If Wen Hao didn't help, their fight with the Huang family would be of great danger. Even if they beat them, they would probably not have much strength left. In the end,
It can only be annexed by other forces.
But now the Huang family is taking the initiative to find trouble. Even if the Xue family doesn't want to fight with the other party head-on, there is no way. That will only put them in a more passive situation, so they are already on the verge of arrows.
