"Tch, there's something wrong with anyone who high-fives you. I keep my word, just remember it."
"Hmm? That's okay, Brother Feng, you can bear witness. If Sister Jiu denies it in the future, you have to support me."
Feng Ziqing put a hand on his forehead, quite helpless, what is this?
The moment he lowered his head, a smile appeared on his lips.
He sighed, raised his head and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just bear the trouble to bear witness. But to be clear, I didn't start this matter. If something goes wrong, don't blame me."
Xia Xu raised his chin, "Of course, Xia still has a big heart."
Meijiu rolled her eyes, "Am I like that kind of person?"
Feng Ziqing looked left and right, smiled slightly, but said nothing.
——
In the city, in a luxurious inn.
The middle-aged man in purple clothes held the note in his hand, his brows furrowed.
He waved his hand to signal the messenger to step back, and then fell into deep thought.
Those three families came faster than expected. They came not long after I settled in. Huh, are you afraid that I will slip away? I don’t even think about it. I brought many people this time, and they are the elites of the clan.
Are you afraid of you? It’s a joke!
Well, as soon as I entered the city, I got this treasure that fell from the sky. I didn't expect that the guy who gave it to me was quite sensible.
Who was the mysterious messenger a few days ago? If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have arrived early.
The identity of that person, based on the Yi family's methods, has not been able to find out. It seems that the person's ability or background should not be much worse than those of the four major aristocratic families.
The man didn't say it clearly, so was he on the same team as them? Not only did he send news, but he also sent a map of the secret passage. He seemed completely uninterested in the Book of Shaking Mountains, and he didn't even look down on such a treasure as the Book of Shaking Mountains?
Or does he have another purpose?
Forget it, let’s solve the immediate dilemma first and think about other things later.
His eyes turned cold, he took out the map of Chengwu County's secret passage given by the mysterious person, and said loudly: "Here comes someone!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Send three, no, five people, to leave the city through the secret passage quickly. They must be invited within three days!"
The disciple of the Yi family took the map of the secret path and responded in a deep voice: "I accept your orders!"
Yi Yun walked slowly to the window and sneered as he watched the people coming and going on the street in the distance, including people from the other three aristocratic families.
The right time, right place, and everything are all in my hands. After three days, the descendants will make peace. At that time, what are you going to fight with me about? Humph! Join forces? I don’t believe it. You can join forces!
His eyes became colder and colder, and then he seemed to remember something, causing the other men in the room to exit the room one after another. When he was left alone, his mind moved and he took out the Book of Shaking Mountains from the square inch object.
He gently rubbed the cold cover to feel its real existence, then took a deep breath, turned the cover, and began to read it carefully.
The inside pages of the book are still a little cold.
As he opened the cover, an invisible and slightly cold breath rose from his fingertips, then sank into his palm and disappeared in an instant.
Yi Yun's fingers while turning the book paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
He hesitated for a moment, and after checking that there was no abnormality in his body, he relaxed a little, continued to read, and gradually became immersed in it.
After that, there would occasionally be a wisp of cold breath on the fingertips, which would rise and disappear in the palm of my hand in an instant. I was unmoved and a little forgetful.
Just because the content of this Mountain-Shaking Book was so mysterious, he was overjoyed. The bottleneck that had not changed for a long time seemed to have been loosened.
——
Near the east side of the city.
Feng Ziqing wandered around in the streets out of boredom.
He needed to have a rough idea of how many people from the four major families had come. Just listening to the two unreliable people, Meijiu and Xia Xu, would ultimately be lacking.
——
A wealthy mansion somewhere in the city.
A young man in brocade clothes was drinking tea leisurely in the courtyard. From time to time, he would look back at the woman who was sitting by the window and reading quietly.
After a while, he seemed to feel a little bored, so he turned the folding fan in his hand and walked towards the window.
"We haven't seen any substantial development for so long. Why don't we consider another approach?" The young master in brocade clothes leaned his back against the wall, folded his hands on his chest, and looked up into the distance.
The woman reading the book raised her head and glanced at the young man. Then she turned the page and continued reading. At the same time, she said, "Why, are you so unsure of the person you personally selected?"
The voice is sweet and the warblers are melodious.
"Yes, of course there is. I have been polishing it for a long time. I am not worried about his ability to deal with that person. It's just that now that the four major families have gathered together, the situation has changed. In addition to that, I still need to deal with it.
"
The reading woman said softly: "I am also confident in the person I have chosen. The four major families suddenly gathered together at this time. It is probably the work of the old radicals in the family to remind us to go faster."
The young master nodded and sighed softly, "I guess so. It's just that he didn't even say hello, which would be a bit awkward."
The woman hummed softly, slowly closed the book, stood up and walked out of the room.
"Wei Ming is a little contemptuous?"
The young master's mouth was slightly bitter and he said nothing.
The woman slowly raised her head and looked at the sky, her eyes gradually became a little cold, and then returned to calm.
"Don't worry, after this matter is successfully concluded, I will eliminate all those arrogant and radical old immortals one by one, leaving no one behind."
Such frightening words came out of her mouth, but they were obviously a little gentle and there didn't seem to be any threat.
"Are you a little impatient? If this happens, we must not let them hold on to the scene?"
The woman suddenly smiled, as bright as a flower.
The young master looked at this smile with fascination and was in a daze.
He knew that when she smiled like this, it meant that she had a perfect solution.
At this time, she was so confident and charming.
——
Today's Chengwu County suddenly became deserted. Feng Ziqing came to this conclusion after walking around for a long time.
After yesterday's battle, most of the warriors in the city were gone overnight, whether they were wandering on the street or watching in the inn.
Did the sudden appearance of the four major aristocratic families make the warriors in the city behave? Or after yesterday's battle, the local snakes in the city suddenly became much smarter and began to know how to lie dormant? Or is everyone planning something, and now it is just a storm?
The peace before?
The people from the four major aristocratic families must be more than the ones seen in the city before, so there will definitely be a team outside the city to support them.
Now that we have a general understanding of the situation in the city, what will be the situation outside the city?
Well, the situation in the city should be relatively subtle these two days. After yesterday's battle, I believe there will be many people who are unwilling to give in. Although the Yi family has a large number of people, their roots are in Xuanjing after all, and the reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the current number of people
After all, it is limited, and there will definitely be people who come uninvited and secretly be guests once or even a few times.
As the initiator of "delivering" the Book of Shaking Mountains to the Yi family with his own hands, he will more or less arouse the anger of some people. There will probably be a stumbling block secretly. Although he is not afraid of anything, it will be troublesome if there are too many lice.
, you can't kill someone for nothing, this is not his style.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be more appropriate to stay outside the city for two days. Anyway, no matter who among the four major aristocratic families finally obtains the Mountain-Shaking Scripture, they will all have to return home. By then, it will not be too late to make plans again.
He looked back at the direction of the inn where he was staying, shook his head, forget it, I'd better not say hello, trouble.
——
East of the city, at the inn.
Xia Xu stood in front of the window, looking east and west.
After a moment, his eyes stopped outside the city and he said without looking back: "He is out of the city."
"Yeah, I understand." Meijiu sat at the table, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Xia Xu snorted toward the outside of the city, turned towards Meijiu, and asked, "Did you guess it?"
"He is out of the city at this time, isn't it appropriate?" Meijiu replied with her eyes closed.
"You won't send anyone to follow you, please confirm?"
"With his level, who will not be discovered?"
Xia Xu thought about it and stopped talking.
There was silence in the room.
Three days later.
Thirty miles south of Chengwu County, there is a low mountain.
In the past three days, Feng Ziqing circled the outside of the city twice. It seemed that only one reinforcement from the four major families came, and they only traveled at night. They hid in the mountains to rest during the day, and their whereabouts were quite concealed.
If it hadn't been for last night, when his interest suddenly spiked, Yu Jian had been observing back and forth in the sky for nearly an hour, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find it.
