"Yes, Master Zuo." Yu Yan responded quickly, and then stepped forward to challenge Bao Yingjun.
Yu Yan is a veteran martial arts disciple of Hantie Zhangyuan, and his strength is not weak.
As a result, when the two faced each other, Bao Yingjun fought him more than ten times before being defeated by a palm hit to his chest.
"Well, Bao Yingjun, not bad, not bad!" Zuo Le showed a happy smile on his face, and praised repeatedly, "You come with me, you will be a disciple of the inner courtyard from today on, I will teach you the cultivation methods later, and there will be more in the future
If you don’t understand something, come to me anytime.”
After saying that, Zuo Le patted Bao Yingjun on the shoulder again, then turned and left.
Bao Yingjun bowed slightly to Qin Ziling, and then quickly chased after him.
"I didn't expect that Bao Yingjun was not only so talented in martial arts, but also such a person who repaid his kindness. Zi Ling, you are in great luck this time." Lu Taiqiang walked to Qin Ziling and watched Bao Yingjun's leaving figure, regretting it.
Out of reach.
Lu Taiqiang's talent in martial arts is considered average to above average. He only reached the iron level a few days ago. Whether he hopes to become a powerful martial artist in the future depends on his own efforts and the support of his family.
Therefore, he has to recruit more potential people, so that the family will pay more attention to him.
Years ago, he tried to think of ways to win over Nangong Yue, but it turned out that Nangong Yue was arrogant and ruthless, and he didn't look down on him at all and didn't care about the friendship between his fellow students.
Now, unexpectedly, Bao Yingjun appeared, and he was so affectionate. As a result, he missed the best investment opportunity because he didn't like him at all before.
"Haha, what's the difference between good luck and bad luck? The key is to have the ability. Speaking of which, Senior Brother Lu, I haven't congratulated you for your breakthrough!" Qin Ziling said to Lu Taiqiang, cupping his hands.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's not like I don't understand you. I've been running around outside all day. It just so happens that you are here today and Bao Yingjun has also made a breakthrough. Let's celebrate together tonight." Lu Taiqiang said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lu, I have something important to do tonight and I can't get away. You can go ahead." Qin Ziling said with an apologetic look on his face.
Last night, the Xiao family wanted to find excuses to discuss with the Yu family, the Lu family, and the Guan Gou family about attacking Xujiabao, to reach an agreement on the distribution of benefits, and then secretly arranged for troops, which would definitely be too late to attack Xujiabao.
But the Xujiapu matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. The Xiao, Yu, Lu families and Guan Gou's family will definitely take advantage of the fact that the Xu family and the Lin family are still tracking down the people who have not returned from the two families before they know that they have been killed.
Sudden attack.
Qin Ziling guessed that the three families and Guan Gou Mansion would launch an attack tonight.
Although he told Xiao Qing that he would not interfere in their affairs, how could Qin Ziling really stay away from such a big matter? He would definitely have to keep an eye on it secretly, and maybe he could still catch it.
"The world has been a bit chaotic recently, so you should be careful. If it really doesn't work, I will introduce you to the Lu family. It will be like trying to make a living outside." Lu Taiqiang said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, I will be careful." Qin Ziling cupped his hands and said.
"They are all our fellow apprentices, so there is no need to be so polite." Lu Taiqiang patted Qin Ziling on the shoulder and said.
Muxuan, who was a few steps away, had a strange expression while listening to the conversation between the two.
…
At night, Nangong went home.
Wu Cheng and others finally arrived at Nangong Yue.
"What's going on with you?" Nangong Yue saw Wu Cheng and the others with bruised noses and swollen faces, looking like lost dogs, and he couldn't help but asked, his face darkening.
"I was beaten by Bao Yingjun!" Wu Cheng replied.
"Being beaten by Bao Yingjun? Are you kidding me?"
"Bao Yingjun has broken through to the level of bullshit, and this guy has been hiding his clumsiness before, but today he suddenly went crazy and beat us all up.
Now he is a disciple of the inner courtyard, and everyone says that he is more talented than you, and the gym leader attaches great importance to him. Senior Brother Nangong, you have to go back quickly and suppress this kid's arrogance, otherwise..." Wu Cheng said.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter in a few days." Nangong Yue was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then said with a gloomy face.
"Why, Senior Brother Nangong, you don't know how proud that guy is, and he is extraordinarily attentive to that Qin Ziling, doing everything in front of him and behind the wheel. I think he did it deliberately to show you." Wu Cheng said with added jealousy.
"Hmph, I will settle this matter with him in the future! But not now. Mr. Lin went on a mission last night and has not returned yet. The Lin family is sending people to search outside the east city.
Zuo Le and I have already fallen out. Zuo Le is a powerful martial artist after all, and without Lin Zhengji's support, there is no way I could challenge him." Nangong Yue said with a cold face.
"Lin Zhengji is one of the six young masters. It is said that his strength is close to that of the Huajin martial artist. It is impossible that something will happen, right?" Wu Cheng and others were shocked when they heard this.
"Normally nothing should happen, and Lin Jingyue was also acting together. But because of this, this incident is very unusual." Nangong Yue said with a solemn expression.
Outside the West City, the night is quiet.
Xujiabao is like a giant beast crouching on the ground in the dark night.
The lights hanging on the castle are like pairs of glowing animal eyes in the dark night.
Standing on the archery tower outside the fort, several crossbowmen stood condescendingly and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
On the city wall, every once in a while, there will be fort soldiers patrolling with swords and guns, but the frequency of patrols and the number of troops dispatched are much less than some time ago when the relationship between Xujiabao and Lin family was tense.
Inside the castle, the castle lord's palace.
"Is there no news yet?" Xu Kunpeng was walking around in the hall like a trapped animal. He was very anxious. Xu Yuanwu and the others had not returned since yesterday. He always felt uneasy, as if there was something big going on.
The feeling that something is about to happen.
"No. But brother, don't worry. In Fangcheng City, unless Yu Hongshan or Pang Qiwei take action personally, who can keep Yuanwu and the others?
They must have been delayed by something or lost their way. Didn’t the people who came back tell me? The enemy fled all the way to Wuyang Mountain. Once they enter the mountains, it is normal for them to get lost!" said a tall and thin man.
The middle-aged man said.
"What's the news from the Lin family?" Xu Pengkun asked.
"Lin Jingyue and Lin Zhengji haven't come back either. They have sent people out to look for them," the tall and thin man said.
"Is it possible that this is just a cover-up, but it's actually the Lin family..." said an old man with gray hair, carrying his back and dressed like a farmer, with a sinister and cunning look in his eyes.
"This is unlikely. Since Xujiabao has secretly surrendered to the Lin family, helping them guard the Xiao family's retreat. Once they force us to rebel, what good will it do to them if we surrender to the Xiao family?" Xu Pengkun said with a frown.
"Today we can say we surrender to the Lin family, and tomorrow we can naturally say we surrender to the Xiao family. Why should the Lin family trust us? The best way is to directly occupy Xujiabao.
The Young Lord, the Fourth Lord and Yan'e are all the top generals of our Xujiabao. Especially the Young Lord, he is the strongest person in our Xujiabao besides you, and also represents the Xujiabao.
future.
Once something happens to them, Xujiabao's vitality will be severely damaged. Then, when we think we have reached an agreement with the Lin family, we relax our vigilance, and suddenly..." the old man sneered.
Before the old man could say the next words, suddenly outside the house, flames shot up into the sky in the direction of the military camp.
"The water has escaped! The water has escaped!" Then a panicked cry pierced the night sky.
"Not good!" Everyone in the hall seemed to have thought of a possibility, and their expressions changed drastically.
Outside the Xujia Fort, the crossbowmen on the archery tower saw the fire inside the castle and subconsciously looked back. At this moment, in the rice fields below the archery tower, there were yellowing mounds of earth specially used to block incoming enemies.
In the attacked pool, figures suddenly and strangely appeared out of thin air, like ghosts.
Then streaks of light flashed past in the dark night.
The crossbowmen on the archery tower fell silently one by one.
When the crossbowmen on the archery tower quietly fell, those figures merged into the surrounding environment strangely, and continued to approach the city.
"Kill!" A majestic shout suddenly rang out from the trees outside the shooting range of the archery tower.
Then the earth shook. Dozens of cavalrymen wearing armor, their faces covered with only two eyes left, rushed out, followed by groups of infantry, black and dense, like a flash flood erupting towards Xujiapu.
Rush away.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The alarm bells are ringing loudly.
Patrollers and archers hurriedly climbed onto the city wall, preparing to hide behind the battlements and shoot the incoming enemies.
But as soon as they climbed onto the city wall, a little light pierced the night sky and killed them. Not far away, the army marched straight in without the obstruction of the archers and crossbowmen in the archery tower.
Before the army reached the moat, the city gate rumbled open from inside and the drawbridge fell down.
There were more than a dozen powerful martial artists guarding the city gate. The soldiers from Xujiabao found out and rushed towards them one after another, but they were all killed by the powerful martial artists.
In just a moment, the army rushed into the city gate.
Soon, shouts of death, cries, shouts, and the sound of iron hoofs trampling across the earth were heard from everywhere in the castle...
"Xu Pengkun! You colluded with Gong Yangmu, the demon leader of the Blood Demon Sect, and kidnapped boys and girls to supply the Blood Demon Sect to refine elixirs. You also looted some villages outside the West City to amass property. You deliberately caused the crime to be committed by horse thieves. Your crime is extremely heinous. You should be punished for it.
punish!"
Inside the castle, in a place that had been beaten into ruins, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Wenchen, together with the experts from the Yu family, the Lu family and the Gou family, surrounded Xu Pengkun. Xiao Wenchen sternly accused him righteously.
There were many corpses lying around Xu Pengkun.
"If you become a king or lose a bandit, why do you need so much nonsense! It's just hateful that I didn't realize that Gongyangmu deceived me, and that your family was all the same after all. It's hateful that I still believed in that thief Lin Jinghan.
!" Xu Pengkun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a sad and angry expression.
"Sure enough, you colluded with Gongyang Mu to kill Master Guan Gou!" A middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe shouted sharply, and a golden light shot out of the air, stabbing Xu Pengkun away.
"Kill!" The members of the Yu family and the Lu family looked at each other and rushed towards Xu Pengkun like an eagle attacking a rabbit.
"You're really on the right track! He actually mentioned Gongyangmu and Lin Jinghan on his own initiative!"
In the dark night, Xiao Wenchen's lips curled up into a sneer that suggested a treacherous plot had succeeded. He raised his green dragon claw and also stepped forward to kill.
