(I believe everyone can see that the protagonist’s next enemy is not just the wealthy Xu family. What really stands in front of Qin Wushuang is the mountain of Ximen Clan. Let’s see how Qin Wushuang crosses this mountain. Today
, can the recommendation votes continue to reach 800? It’s still far behind. Brothers, let’s resume the firepower!)
The news of Ye Feng's battle with Qin Wushuang was blocked by Da Ximing, so there was indeed no news in Luojiang County.
However, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Especially for Zhenwu Holy Land, even in the small Luojiang County, their intelligence network is very thorough and almost pervasive...
In the past three days in Luojiang County, there has been an endless stream of guests from all over, and most likely they came for the birthday of the daughter of the Daxi family.
…
At the east gate of Luojiang County City, many people gathered bustlingly. The soldiers who used to guard the city gate all stayed at their posts inside the city gate.
Outside the city gate, there were more than thirty young men in green clothes standing in an orderly manner. In front of this group of young men in green clothes, there were several nobles leading them. The leader was Xu Sanli, the head of the wealthy Xu family.
Xu Sanli's gray beard was a little messy in the wind, but his feet seemed to be rooted, motionless, and his eyes were anxiously staring ahead.
He murmured in his mouth: "Based on calculation, it's about time..."
Just as he was talking, several riders appeared from the end of his field of vision, galloping towards the city gate at very fast speeds. They were two black spots at first, getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye they were close.
Like a strong wind blowing across the face, he arrived in front of him in an instant. The rider on the horse suddenly pulled the reins while running quickly, and the horse's head jumped high, and it suddenly stopped in front of Xu Sanli.
There were two people immediately, one was young and the other was middle-aged.
The young man has a stern expression, a sense of arrogance in his eyebrows, and wears a gorgeous robe.
The middle-aged man was short in stature, but his eyes were sinister, scanning everywhere like an eagle's eye. At first glance, he was a capable and cunning man. He was dressed in a green robe, and he seemed to be the young man's subordinate.
This master and his servant are agile and have superb riding skills. What's even more rare is that the horses they ride are one black and one white. They really are like dragons and tigers.
The young man who stopped in front of Xu Sanli was the young man, no more than thirty years old, with a hooked nose, sharp eyes and a bit of arrogance. He looked Xu Sanli up and down, and said calmly: "Please help me, Patriarch Xu personally."
Welcomed."
A white horse was covered in snow, but there was not a trace of hair on it. It didn't make any neighing sound when it stopped suddenly, showing that it was well-trained.
The horse did not stop until it was close, and did not dismount after it stopped, which shows that this person is extremely arrogant. For this kind of collision, the young people of the Xu family behind Xu Sanli were all accustomed to it, and looked at the martial robes
The man's eyes were clearly mixed with a little envy and jealousy, and as the clan leader, Xu Sanli also greeted him with a friendly and almost flattering tone.
"I've heard for a long time that Young Master Ximen is a master of swordsmanship and cavalry, but today I saw that he is truly worthy of his reputation."
"Clan Chief Xu, you're welcome. This is not the place to talk. Let's go into the city."
The man known as Mr. Ximen just replied lightly. The patriarch of the wealthy Xu family seemed to be just a wisp of air in his eyes.
"Young Master Ximen has worked hard for coming all the way. The old man has prepared a banquet at Fengze Tower. I hope to welcome Mr. Ximen and wash away his dust."
"No, just prepare two clean rooms. Don't worry about the rest. I will inform you if necessary."
"Okay, then please ask Mr. Ximen to move to your humble abode."
"let's go."
Mr. Ximen pulled the reins and rushed into the city gate with his two subordinates. Even after entering Luojiang County, the two men did not slow down and continued to gallop as fast as before.
Xu Sanli followed behind with obvious respect. He didn't even dare to show any strange expressions to the actions of Mr. Ximen and his group, but followed behind with a smile on his face.
A descendant of the Xu family muttered to his companions: "This Young Master Ximen is really arrogant, but his riding skills are indeed good. Proud people have their own pride. We, the descendants of wealthy families, will never be able to compare with him in our lifetime."
What they have achieved now.”
"That's right. The son of a big family like him is born to be the pride of heaven. Looking at his young age, I'm afraid his cultivation will not be much inferior to that of the clan leader, right?"
Bang! Bang! Two sounds. As soon as the two of them finished muttering, they received two firm slaps on the face. However, there were a large number of people in the team, so the sound of the slaps was not obvious, and the intensity was obviously controlled.
The middle-aged man in front of them turned around and scolded: "Shut up, you two bastards! You can't talk about right and wrong behind the backs of the powerful disciples. I am a master of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm and has a sharp ear, not you two bastards."
You can understand it. If you don’t want to die, just shut your mouth!”
"Sixth-dan Zhenwu? Uncle Sihai! You said he is already the sixth-dan Zhenwu? Impossible, isn't the patriarch over sixty this year? Isn't he only the fifth-dan?"
One of the boys who was beaten covered his hot face and said in disbelief.
"Don't believe it, you guys who don't know how high the sky is. And I can tell you that the sixth level of Zhenwu can only be higher than lower! How can the top master of the younger generation of the Ximen clan have a false reputation? Otherwise, I will be sorry for him.
The title of Akagi’s Four Shows.”
"Akagi Yoshihide?" The other disciple who was beaten was also stunned. He counted on his fingers and finally understood the difference between them.
In the small Luojiang County, none of them could be ranked among the "Seven Young Masters of Luojiang". This Young Master Ximen was actually ranked among the "Four Young Masters of Chimu".
What is that concept? The four most outstanding young people in the entire Akagi Kingdom are collectively known as the "Akagi Four Shows". There are eight states under the Akagi Kingdom, and each state governs eight counties.
In other words, the levels of Luojiang County and the Chimu Kingdom are two full administrative levels lower. The difference is simply thousands of miles away.
"Oh my god! It seems that I have no hope of catching up with their current achievements in this life." After realizing the gap between them, the two disciples let out a low howl, not daring to say any more nonsense.
Young Master Ximen, who was at the front of the team, heard the voice of Nei Jin from his subordinate in Tsing Yi: "It seems that not all of the wealthy Xu family are frogs in the well, there are still some smart people."
"Most of the low-class nobles like this are like this. It's not just the Xu family. In fact, they are just clowns. If it weren't for the marriage of sister Yuzhu, I would not be willing to come to such a small county to waste my time..."
After saying that, Mr. Ximen pinched the horse's belly and sped up some speed. This only caused some small commotion in the Xu family's welcome brigade who were walking on two legs behind them. Those juniors who were not good at martial arts had no choice but to run forward.
As for being dumped from the team.
…
In the city of Luojiang County, the Xu family is one of the three wealthy families. The Xu family, which was founded by force, is naturally inferior to the same wealthy families in terms of financial resources. However, the Qian family has shops all over Nanyun Prefecture, but even so, the Xu family provides them with money.
The Xu family estate where family members live also covers dozens of acres.
At this time, the lights in the wealthy Xu family's residence were brightly lit, and there were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. It seemed that there was something very festive, but everyone in the Xu family knew that all this was just for the distinguished guest in the east wing.
The fifth of the "Twelve Great Clan" of Baiyue Kingdom, the young master of the Ximen Clan of Nanyun Prefecture - Ximen Qian.
In the east wing room, Xu Sanli stood respectfully, looking at the young man holding the scroll and not daring to move. As for the short man behind the young man, he seemed to be merged with the shadow. If Xu Sanli hadn't seen it with his own eyes,
Looking at this person standing in front of him, he couldn't even feel the slightest breath of this person.
"The Thirteen Eagles of Ximen are indeed worthy of their reputation." Xu Sanli glanced at the short man who had almost disappeared into the darkness, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind him.
The Thirteen Eagles of Ximen are the thirteen masters who are at least the fifth level of Zhenwu and are recruited by the Ximen clan. They all use numbers instead of names. They have always been figures who walk on the dark side. Over the past few years, they have eliminated many hostile forces for the Ximen family.
And Xu Sanli knew that what was in front of him was the "Cold-Blooded Eleven" who was famous for his cold-blooded cruelty.
"This book "Miscellaneous Shadow Boxing" is quite interesting. It has unique insights into both the boxing routines and the internal energy movement. Although there are some shortcomings, it is still quite threatening to go off the beaten track. It seems that the ancestor of your Xu family
There have been some characters."
At this time, Ximen Qian was holding in his hand the "Fist of Shadows" which had been passed down secretly from generation to generation of the Xu family. This was also accidentally obtained by a certain generation of the ancestors of the Xu family. It was also because of this secret book that the Xu family was truly established in Luojiang County.
wealthy status.
It was just Ximen Qian's behavior that made Xu Sanli break out in a cold sweat, because since Ximen Qian came to Xu's house, he didn't go to the banquet or see any guests. He just asked Xu Sanli to take out the secret book and read it for entertainment.
Although this kind of pastime makes Xu Sanli feel uncomfortable, he is really a master who cannot afford to offend. Needless to say, these martial arts secrets are basically invisible to others, even if all the yellow-flowered girls from the Xu family are required to accompany this young master.
, Xu Sanli did not dare to hesitate at all.
Although these martial arts secrets are among the secrets in the family, the Ximen family is very wealthy. There are many martial arts secrets of this level that can be used as papyrus. It is estimated that they will not be so greedy as to covet the ancestral secrets of a wealthy family.
After turning the last page of "Fist of Shadows", Ximen Qian's face was still expressionless, and there was no sign of any mood swings on his face. This made Xu Sanli a little at a loss.
"Do you know Da Ximing from the Daxi family?" he finally spoke.
When Xu Sanli heard the question, something suddenly moved in his heart. He remembered that the Daxi family had stood behind the Qin family many times to embarrass him. Thinking about the origin of Ximen Qian's trip, he had something to say in his mind. After all, in addition to his superb martial arts, he could be the leader of a wealthy family.
, and more importantly, scheming.
"Go back to Mr. Ximen, I recognize this guy Da Ximing." Xu Sanli couldn't figure out Ximen Qian's intention for a moment, so he naturally answered cautiously, fearing that a wrong word would cause some trouble.
"Tell me about it." Ximen Qian said in an understatement, making it difficult for people to understand.
"Da Ximing is the eldest son of Xi Heng, the commander of the Da Xi family in the county. I heard that he has been keen on martial arts since he was a child. He is highly regarded by Da Xi Heng. At the age of less than twenty-five, he has reached the fifth level of Zhenwu. He is also known as Luo Jiang.
The first of the seven princes in the county."
Xu Sanli's answer was still watertight. What he said was all well-known information about snake oil. As for his own opinion, he still didn't mention a word.
"How is his reputation in the county?" Ximen Qian casually threw "Fist of Shadows" on the coffee table, his tone a little tighter than before.
"Son of a noble family, it's really not convenient for me to make any unreasonable comments..."
Xu Sanli was scheming and was best at observing people's emotions. From Ximen Qian's small actions and subtle changes in his expression, he could vaguely grasp something, but he was in no rush to play his cards right now.
"In front of me, it doesn't matter, he's just a son of a noble family."
Ximen Qian secretly laughed at Xu Sanli, who was so cunning and cunning. He obviously wanted to express his opinions, but he was playing hard to get with himself?
"Since Mr. Ximen is destined, I will tell you the truth. This man's reputation is not bad, and he is actually a leader of the younger generation in Luojiang County. But in recent months, I heard that he has become obsessed with a girl from a poor family, and he has not been home for several months.
Hanging around the woman's apartment and restaurant, she gradually became a laughing stock in the market."
"Huh, after all, he is still a child of a noble family who has never seen the world. He is vulgar and rude. The Ximen family already thinks highly of him. But this kid really doesn't know how to love himself!"
Obviously, the Ximen family has already heard about everything that happened in Luojiang County. Asking Xu Sanli on the sidelines was just to confirm.
Looking at Ximen Qian's handsome face, which looked very ferocious at that moment, Xu Sanli knew that he had made the right bet. He had long heard that Da Ximing had an engagement with Ximen's family that caused speculation among the outside world. Seeing Ximen Qian like this,
Xu Sanli immediately guessed the purpose of Ximen Qian's trip.
As long as Ximen Qian is dissatisfied and even hostile to Da Ximing, then this method of driving away tigers and devouring wolves and killing people with borrowed swords is almost successful. Not only can his status as a wealthy family be secure, but if he can use this to attack the Da Xi family, it will even be stabilized.
The Daxi family, which was suppressing the Xu family, moved its position, which Xu Sanli was very happy to see at this time.
If all this goes well, the Xu family's position as an aristocratic family and the top spot in Luojiang County is by no means a foolish dream.
All this depends on how he contributes to the flames. In any case, if the Ximen clan is attracted to deal with the Daxi family, the Xu family will never lose a hair. This type of business without capital is what Xu Sanli is best at.
.
"What is the origin of that poor girl?" Ximen Qian was silent for a moment and then asked again.
"The daughter of the Qin family of the Han clan in Donglin Town, Qin Xiu."
"The Qin family from a poor family, Qin Xiu..." Ximen Qian glanced at Xu Sanli meaningfully, and suddenly said, "I heard that this time the family debate, your Xu family was challenged by a poor family?"
Xu Sanli broke into a cold sweat and screamed inwardly that something was wrong. Could it be that his plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife was discovered? Before he could answer, Ximen Qian waved his hand: "You can go down first."
After hearing this, Xu Sanli hurriedly left, with cold sweat running down his back. He didn't dare to look back and left directly, with lingering fear in his heart.
