During the bride-robbing incident, Zhang Mochou learned from the descriptions of people from the Ji family and Cheng Luofen and other Wanhuamen disciples that Cheng Yaojin was very powerful. He seriously injured Ji Baiyu with one sword and defeated Cheng Luofen with another sword.
, and he is ruthless and cunning. He is indeed a powerful character.
But near Wanhuamen, there are no bandits who dominate the mountain! Where did that Cheng Yaojin come from?
The attack on Wanhuamen Courtyard and the abduction of the Ji family's bride were connected. Zhang Mochou realized that Wanhuamen might have provoked some difficult forces. Could it be because Wanhuamen changed this time?
Is it due to door rules?
Therefore, Zhang Mochou began to investigate the inside of Wanhua Sect, focusing on investigating whether those disciples who did not agree to change the sect rules were involved with any outside forces.
At the same time, she also sent many disciples to explore the news, hoping to find some clues.
With this incident as a hindrance, the issue of forcing the disciples to marry was put down. Even the requests for marriage from some sects and big families were temporarily declined. This made the locked up disciples breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, it also gave Murong Yun greater convenience.
Besides, Murong Yun, relying on her familiarity with Wanhuamen, took Li Yanfang and sneaked into the door without any danger. The location where the two of them hid was even more bold, choosing directly in the courtyard where Murongyun lived in Wanhuamen.
Everyone else thought that Murong Yun and Xu Qiushui were in bad luck, and basically no one paid much attention to whether Murong Yun's other house was occupied by people.
Therefore, Murong Yun's choice seems bold, but it is very safe.
With a safe hiding place, it is not difficult for Murong Yun, as the younger senior sister of Wanhua Clan, to inquire about information and contact the imprisoned junior sisters.
Xia Yu and Zhao Xinru, on the other hand, headed towards the Ye family non-stop.
Although the two of them were riding high-grade red-hoofed horses, Xia Yu still felt that the speed was too slow, not even a little bit worse than Fat Ball.
It's a pity that Fat Ball is still with Dan Di at this time and is no longer with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu originally thought that he would only go to Zhaixing to study for one year, and he would return to Dandi Mansion after one year, so he didn't bring Fat Ball with him when he came out.
Later, he chopped bamboo in Zhaixing Pavilion for several years, and then he became his disciple and followed Zhaixing around. Fat Ball has always stayed in Dandi Mansion.
Although Xia Yu would spend a lot of time in every place when he was outside with Star Reaching, Xia Yu could theoretically ask Emperor Dan to send someone to deliver the fat ball, but Xia Yu didn't think it was necessary.
There are all kinds of elixirs in Dan Emperor's Mansion, and there is abundant spiritual energy. For monsters like Fat Ball, it is really a geomantic treasure. If Fat Ball stays there, it will be very beneficial to its growth and advancement.
Therefore, Xia Yu never asked for Fat Ball back and let him stay with Dan Emperor.
In addition to Fat Ball, Xia Yu also has a fire fox contracted beast, but Dan Emperor said that the fire fox is practicing in seclusion and it is best not to disturb it.
Xia Yu didn't know when Huo Fox would complete the retreat, so he had no contact with Huo Fox.
Therefore, Xia Yu, who only had two contracted monsters, could only ride the red-hoofed horse honestly.
In order to rush for time, Xia Yu and Zhao Xinru worked non-stop along the way, barely taking much rest. Fortunately, with the support of Xia Yu's elixir, both of them were in pretty good condition.
This journey can be regarded as Zhao Xinru's happiest days in recent times. Being able to travel with her big brother Yuwen for so long is simply happier for her than improving her status in the sect.
Zhao Xinru's heart was entirely focused on Xia Yu, and sometimes she forgot the real purpose of coming to the Ye family. Therefore, once a woman is carried away by love, she basically has no IQ.
Fortunately, Xia Yu still remembered what he was supposed to do. While flirting with girls, he kept paying attention to collecting information. Sometimes Xiao Hei came out to hang out, and he also asked Xiao Hei to help him find useful information.
Of course, every time Xiao Hei came out, he would yell at Xia Yu to pull Zhao Xinru to the roadside and do something in the woods. Xia Yu just pretended not to hear such yelling.
Grandma, although Xinrumei is definitely delicious to eat, am I going to let you, this evil dragon, watch the movie for free?
...The Ye family is a big family in the Ziyue Plain, and its sphere of influence is even larger than that of a big city. If you add in the industries distributed in various places, the strength of a family like the Ye family that can gain a foothold in the two mountains and three plains can even exceed that of Southwest China.
The power of a state in a region.
Its core is called Yejiazhuang.
Although it is called "village", it is actually a city with many city walls, gates and watchtowers. However, according to the laws of Xuantian Continent, the height of this kind of private city is limited.
In fact, limiting the height doesn't make much sense.
For experts who have reached the Xuan level, if the city wall is not equipped with a protective formation, the height alone has no defensive significance at all. No matter how high the city wall is, even if it cannot be climbed in one go, just borrowing strength from the wall a few times is enough.
.
However, the city wall is a symbol of status, especially for aristocratic families. It is a manifestation of financial resources. The thickness, length and material of the city wall are all symbols of strength.
The city wall of Yejiazhuang covers an area of dozens of miles. The head of the Ye family and his direct descendants all live in Yejiazhuang.
As expected of a big family, Xia Yu has already felt the influence of the Ye family in a town hundreds of miles away from Yejiazhuang, and more and more people have the Ye family logo on their clothes.
.
The two of them were taking a rest in a tavern. Xia Yu drank wine while listening to the conversations of the people around him, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhao Xinru saw it and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yuwen, what's wrong?
Are you tired?"
Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Listen to what the next table is saying... the situation doesn't seem to be good."
"Oh..." Zhao Xinru then put her mind down from Xia Yu and listened carefully to the conversation at the next table. The more she listened, the more she frowned.
..."You heard, people from the Gongyang family came to the Ye family to propose marriage!"
"Looking at your ignorant look, I not only heard about it, I also saw the procession of giving gifts! The betrothal gift is worth a hundred carts!"
"Then have you seen Mr. Gongyang?"
"That's not true. I just took a few glances from a distance."
"Hehe! I met Mr. Gongyang! He is such a talented person! I think he is a perfect match for the eldest lady of the Ye family!"
"Miss Ye family?
Miss Asue?
Isn't it?
I heard that he came here for Miss Zizi."
"ah?
Not Miss Asue?"
"It's Miss Zizi, Miss Qianmo... Hehe... Tell me about Miss Qianmo's temper, who would be willing to marry her?"
"Shh... keep your voice down so that people can hear you and look good on you!"
