I don't know when, it started to rain lightly from the sky, a misty drizzle, which combined with the beautiful surrounding mountains and clear water, gave it a hazy feeling.
A group of carriages and horses came from far and near. The carriage wheels rolled over the ground that gradually became muddy, splashing up some mud from time to time.
More than ten carriages were accompanied by about three hundred guards. The people of Jizhou are very martial. Each of these guards was tall and strong. Although they were not as rigorous as the regular army, they still exuded a strong aura from all over their bodies.
"Bo Qiu, where are you now?" A clear voice came from the carriage. The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted. A gray-haired old man came out of the carriage. He looked at the road that had become a little muddy and frowned slightly.
.
"Sir, we have arrived at Wuji Realm. We will reach Wuji in another thirty miles or so." Among the guards, the leader was a dismounted eight-foot-tall military general with a slender figure and a gangster air on his face. He immediately hung up.
Holding a big gun, he turned around after hearing the words and slightly cupped his hands.
"This weather... let everyone speed up their journey and rest after returning to Wuji." After taking a look at the sky, the sky was dark and gloomy, which made people feel a little depressed. The old man said softly.
"Yes, sir." The general nodded, waved his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, speed up your pace. When you return to Wuji, I will not treat you badly."
"Roar~" A group of guards were slightly excited. The door to their home was right in front of them. They were also slightly excited in their hearts, and their pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Sitting back in the car, the old man's cloudy eyes showed a little worry, and he said to himself: "Yuan Benchu's ambition to annex my Zhen family can no longer be suppressed, and the deadline given is coming soon.
Don’t know how to deal with this time?”
Shaking his head slightly distressed, the old man closed his eyes and meditated, but his face became more and more anxious. Yuan Shao's power in Jizhou became more and more stable with the attachment of many aristocratic families. Although the Zhongshan Zhen family was considered a wealthy family, after all,
Starting from business, he is not very recognized among the NPC family in Jizhou.
Having a wealth that rivals other countries, but not enough strength and connections to protect it, naturally attracts the covetousness of others. In the past, with some interest relationships and a large amount of money, the Zhen family was able to survive and develop, but
As Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou and began to suppress the merchants who controlled the lifeblood of Jizhou, it was obvious that the Zhen family in Zhongshan was no longer what it used to be.
In the past, no matter where he went, local officials or families would be polite, at least on the surface. But now, when he went out to visit various aristocratic families, he could clearly feel the indifference.
Of course, if he agreed to Yuan Benchu's words, married his youngest daughter to Yuan Xi, and handed over the large business to Yuan Shao to control, the Zhen family would still be able to survive.
But the old man knows very well that this is not safe. Among Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan is the legitimate son. Yuan Shang is deeply favored by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Xi is nothing compared to the two of them. In the future, Yuan Shao will probably have such a big business a hundred years later.
Choose one from Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to inherit.
Yuan Shao asked his youngest daughter to marry the second son who was not successful. He obviously did not attach great importance to this marriage. It is conceivable that after Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang takes over Jizhou in the future, the Zhen family will usher in a real decline. This is not what he wants.
have witnessed.
So what if you just don't accept it? Although the Zhen family is powerful, it is too small compared to Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince.
"who?"
Just as the old man was thinking, the general's angry shouts and the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from outside. The old man raised his eyebrows, opened the door curtain, and walked out of the carriage. The scene in front of him made him extremely angry.
A group of men dressed as bandits were frantically attacking the convoy. The generals were holding big guns and leading the guards to fight with the bandits. However, these bandits were obviously not ordinary bandits. They were well-trained and ruthless in killing.
, the guards were retreating steadily, and from time to time someone fell into a pool of blood.
Looking back at the large banner with the word "Zhen" erected on the carriage, the old man suddenly felt a surge of sadness and anger in his heart. Could it be that the Zhen family of Zhongshan has fallen to this point and was bullied by a group of bandits at the door of my home?
"Bang~"
Among the bandits, there was a military general holding a battle axe. He was extremely ferocious. With one move of the big ax, more than a dozen guards were cut into pieces. With a loud shout, the battle ax came down sharply and struck Zhen's body fiercely.
The general shouted loudly, raised his gun to parry, and with a bang, his body flew backwards as if struck by lightning. His body hit the old man's carriage, and the whole frame fell apart. The old man got out of the carriage in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
I jumped down and looked back at the general, but he was already dying. I couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness and anger in my heart: "Who are you?"...
"Ask the King of Hell." The big man's face was covered with a black scarf, a ferocious smile appeared in his big copper bell-like eyes, and he raised his ax high.
"Protect the head of the family"
Zhen's bodyguard was still very loyal. Upon seeing this, he rushed forward without caring about his own safety and protected the old man behind him. However, in an instant, he was cut into pieces with a big axe.
"I will die, too." Seeing each of the loyal guards fall into a pool of blood, the old man closed his eyes in pain, and the turbid fatigue flowed out of his eyes, mixed with rainwater.
"Old man, suffer death." The big man sneered and raised the ax in his hand high again.
"Yi Qi Jue Chen" a soft shout sounded from behind. The general's expression changed, and he suddenly turned around. Before he could make any move, his body was already flying like clouds and mist, and the flaming red war horse under his crotch was also knocked to the ground.
.
"Magnolia" Qin Tian suddenly shouted, and three knights rushed behind him. The first one was actually a woman. Hearing this, he nodded. He opened his bow and set an arrow, targeting the bandit who fell from the air. He fired three arrows in a row.
, shooting towards the opponent with a shrill whistle.
The man holding the big ax was fine. He was in the air, and with the help of the twist of his waist, he suddenly turned around. The big ax in his hand danced with three ax shadows, knocking away the three flying arrows.
"Han Meng, die." Qin Tian had already ridden his horse and came under Han Meng. The dragon soul gun in his hand suddenly thrust out, carrying a dragon roar, and rolled towards Han Meng's chest.
"Qingtian, I dare you." Han Meng's face mask had fallen off at some point. He just looked at the spear point stabbing below and roared. At an incredible angle, his body rotated in the air, driving the ax across the air.
The huge arc struck the Dragon Soul Spear accurately.
"Ding~"
With a harsh metal collision, Qin Tian and his horse were knocked back several steps. Qi and blood surged in his chest. His body felt as if it was not his own. He fell into paralysis and was unable to move for a while.
"Roar~"
There was a roar, but Tengfang had already rushed over. The wheel battle ax in his hand was round, and he slashed at Han Meng who was in the air. Han Meng had nowhere to use his strength in the air. He had already exhausted him by changing his moves twice in a row.
With a breath of true energy, now seeing Han Meng coming at him with an axe, he had no choice but to raise his ax to resist.
"Qiang~"
Amidst the harsh collision of gold and iron, Vine's face turned red and he took three steps back. His chest was beating like a bellows, but Han Meng took advantage of the force of the impact and flew out upside down.
"Hey~"
A lightning-like arc flashed in the air. Han Mengren felt his right arm go cold while he was in the air. He was shocked to find that his arm holding an ax appeared in front of his eyes, and then a severe pain came from his right shoulder.
In the body, it spread to the whole body in an instant. Wang Shuang reined in his horse, caught the ax falling from the air, and looked back at Han Meng who landed on the ground, with a sneer on his lips.
"Lord." Teng Fang gasped and came to Qin Tian's side, but his eyes were burning as he looked at the big ax in Wang's hands. Han Meng, as the top general in Jizhou, the big ax in his hand was naturally not an ordinary thing. The name of the ax was Tiangang.
, weighs seventy-two kilograms, and is made of meteorite iron mixed with iron. It is not only extremely strong, but also extremely sharp. It is a rare second-grade weapon.
Zou Yulan also led Han Meng's flaming horse to Qin Tian's side. Although Yiqi Juechen had the effect of knocking him away, it had no attack power. Therefore, the flaming horse was only knocked away and did not suffer any damage.
harm.
At this moment of change, the old man looked on dumbfounded. He had already thought that he was going to die, but suddenly the situation suddenly became clear. Even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, for a while, he felt like he was reincarnated as a human being.
"Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen clan in Zhongshan, has met Wu Hou." After a while, the old man realized what he was doing, came to Qin Tian's side, bowed and said, Han Meng's previous shout in the air had exposed Qin Tian's identity, and
Along the way, he also heard a lot of rumors.
Qin Tian turned around, with a flash of lightning in his eyes. Zhen Yi suddenly felt a sense of oppression in his chest, and was shocked. He quickly bowed and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Wu. Although Yi is a merchant, he also knows the word kindness."
Nodding, Qin Tian came to Han Meng and sneered: "I don't believe you, but I'm not afraid that you will reveal my whereabouts. You know why."
Zhen Yi shook her head in embarrassment: "I don't know, please give me some instructions from Marquis Wu."
"Do you know who this person is?" Qin Tian sneered as he pointed his gun at the stunned Han Meng.
Zhen Yi looked at Han Meng with a light of hatred in her eyes, and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know."
"Yuan Shao has two generals under his command, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and they are also known as the pillars of Hebei. They are Yuan Shao's favorite generals. Although this man is not as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, he is also a rare general under Yuan Shao. He is called the First Liang of Hebei. See
It's not an easy time coming to Mr. Zhen." Qin Tian sneered.
"Wu Houxiu wants to make false claims. Mr. Yuan is from a famous family and his reputation is spread all over the world. How could he do such a deed?" Zhen Yi's expression changed and she shook her head.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Qin Tian looked at Han Meng with a sneer: "Han Meng, when the police were chasing me, did you ever think about today?"
"Hmph, Qingtian traitor, I wish I could eat your meat." Han Meng roared angrily and stood up suddenly, but was firmly held down by Tengfang Wangshuang, one on the left and the other on the right.
"It's a pity that you don't have this chance." Qin Tian sneered, and the dragon soul gun in his hand suddenly stabbed Han Meng in the throat.
"Wu Hou, wait a minute!" Zhen Yi saw this and shouted quickly. With Han Meng's performance, he already believed Qin Tian's words nine points. But when he saw Qin Tian wanted to kill Han Meng, he still subconsciously wanted to stop him. Unfortunately, he had already
too late.
"Pfft~"
Han Meng was pressed to the left and right by Wang Shuang and Teng Fang, unable to dodge at all. He glared angrily at Qin Tian, but his throat was pierced by a spear from Qin Tian, and he slowly fell down.
