The Su family's mansion was very lively. The warriors from the Su family, the Wang family and the city lord's palace were all gathered here at this time.
Especially the warriors from the Suwang family who had just returned. Under the leadership of Wang Xiao, they had just looted the ghost painter's mansion again.
This time, it was different from the previous kind of casual viewing. They did not let go of any valuable or worthless items in the ghost painter's mansion. Except for the houses and buildings, other items in the ghost painter's mansion could not be moved.
They were all taken away en masse.
With the empty mansion left, Wang Xiao had people pour fire oil everywhere and burned the two mansions completely.
The surrounding area of the mansion where the ghost family is located is relatively empty, so the fire is only concentrated in the mansion. The painters are a little different. During this time, they continued to expand outwards and included all the cities outside into the family.
Therefore, when the painter's fire burned rapidly, the surrounding businesses were also involved. Of course, the holders of these businesses had either joined forces with the painter, or were directly under the painter's command.
Not to mention their sensitive identities, they don't dare to come forward at all now. Even if they have nothing to do with the painter, they don't dare to go head-to-head with the current Su Wang family. Therefore, when the entire painting mansion was burned down, a large area around it was also implicated.
Among them, those people don’t even dare to do things like put out fires.
Some small families and small forces that were originally very close to the ghost painter are now in danger, and they are hiding in their homes and dare not go out.
Today's Su family, Wang family and City Lord's Mansion, although they have just experienced a war and each family has suffered certain losses, are now peaceful. People have unconsciously forgotten the tragic fight last night and still have mutual feelings for each other.
The things that were once contradictory were completely put behind my mind.
People are like this sometimes, they can quickly build up hatred, but also easily forget it, especially when the hatred is not for personal reasons, but for public reasons.
There was no enmity between these people. The previous fights and battles were also due to their different positions. Now that everyone has the same position, the root cause of their opposition is no longer there, and everyone can naturally let go of these emotions.
Of course, there is another important reason that prompted this situation to occur, that is, both the Su and Wang families have gained a lot of benefits. Even the most ordinary warriors also gained a lot when they searched the ghost painter's mansion again.
Lots of benefits.
After all, they were once a powerful force in the Xuanwu Empire, and this vast city was an important gathering point for their two families in the south. There were no ordinary decorations in the mansion.
Maybe people like Su Jian and Wang Xiao don't take it seriously, but for ordinary warriors, even the tables, chairs and benches are made of precious green iron wood. In addition to some weapons stored in the mansion, there are also
Some medicines commonly used by warriors, etc., are all sought after by ordinary warriors when placed outside.
Although the warriors on the side of the city lord's palace did not benefit, they did not care. These people took action at the most critical moment and had a huge impact on the battle situation. In the end, the ghost painter betrayed these people and used them as cannon fodder.
, turned into a stepping stone for the ghost painter to safely evacuate.
This hatred has long overtaken the others, and has made the warriors in the city lord's palace hate the ghost painter so much. Now that they can join forces with the Suwang family to take revenge on the ghost painter, this is already great for them.
Looking at the peaceful atmosphere around the family square, Su Jian also showed a rare relaxed smile on his face. He turned around and said, "Wang Xiao, are you too lazy?
It's an empty mansion, why would you burn it down?"
Wang Xiao curled his lips indifferently and said proudly: "Why can't we burn it? Is it an eyesore if we leave it there? Since we are going to do it, of course we have to do it thoroughly. And I have to let people see us.
Attitude, look at the current situation in Kuocheng clearly, the ghost painter no longer exists."
Frowning slightly, Su Jian said, "Well, now that you have burned, do ghost painters really no longer exist? Can their hidden dangers really be solved in this way?"
Wang Xiao said confidently: "Of course it can't be solved like this, but it will make those who were very close to the ghost painter stay in peace, and let those who have flirted with the ghost painter see clearly the current situation."
Seeing Wang Xiao's unrepentant look, Su Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The limelight you have caused can now be seen by everyone in the city, but except for the small families and forces that you can talk about, we can't do it for the time being.
If you dare to mess around, what else will you gain?
But look, until now, is there a force that belongs to the ghost painters and has come to us to express its submission?"
Hearing what Su Jian said, Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment. He thought about it carefully, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
A lot of time has passed since the victory last night, until the Ghost Painter was looted, and then he completely burned down the two mansions with a fire, and now at this moment.
However, although some forces have come to show their goodwill during this period, there are not any of the families and forces that originally surrendered to the ghost painter.
After thinking of this, Wang Xiao's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Why is this happening? Are those people crazy or stupid?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Su Jian sighed feebly, and then said softly: "Why can't you understand such a simple truth? Do you know what the biggest problem is now?"
"Where does this go?" Wang Xiao said impatiently. He didn't like the other party to directly blame the issue on himself.
Seeing Su Jian looking at him with burning eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment. Wang Xiao immediately lost his battle and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, tell me, what is my problem?"
He glanced outside with a serious expression, and the peaceful atmosphere fell into Su Jian's eyes, making it difficult for him to show any joy.
While retracting his gaze, he solemnly said: "The Su family and the Wang family are completely proud after this battle. Although the City Lord's Mansion has suffered a lot of losses, it is now united with us. From this perspective, the City Lord's Mansion is also naturally
is the winning side.
What I'm worried about is that this kind of victory will go to their head. Look at these people outside now. How can they be nervous at all? Even you, the leader of the Wang family, have forgotten that ghost.
The painter is just hiding now, and they are lurking in the broad city."
Su Jian's words had already touched Wang Xiao a little, but he didn't want to admit it. Then Su Jian said: "I have mobilized people to go out and search, including those families and forces that have just taken refuge.
When these people want to show their sincerity, they will definitely go to great lengths to do something. With such a big net spread out, I don’t believe we can’t find those ghost painters.”
"This is the problem." Su Jian spoke directly and said: "Everyone is unconsciously showing an optimistic attitude in their hearts now. Whether it is for the ghost painter or the development of the Kuocheng situation, there is such an atmosphere.
, what is most likely to breed in this kind of atmosphere is failure.”
"Are you worried too much? You must know that we are winning now, not their ghost painters." Wang Xiao said dissatisfied.
Su Jian reminded: "There is no news about the ghost painter yet. I don't have much hope for the results of the city-wide search. And you seem to have forgotten an existence. The ghost painter has always been against us, but now
There is another force lurking in the secret, and that force cannot be underestimated."
"You mean, the Lin family?!" Wang Xiao reacted instantly and blurted out.
Just at this moment, someone knocked lightly on the door outside. Wang Xiao felt irritated and said coldly: "Who is it?"
After a short pause, a man's voice came from outside, saying: "The people sent by the family sent back the news on time."
Upon hearing this, Su Jian said without hesitation: "Let them come in quickly."
The door was pushed open, and three warriors walked in in no particular order, one from the Su family, one from the Wang family, and one from the City Lord's Mansion.
After the three people entered the room, they immediately bowed and saluted. Wang Xiao interrupted them directly and said: "No need to talk nonsense, just tell me what you can gain."
When the Wang family warrior saw his leader speaking, he hurriedly said: "The three of us, plus those small forces who volunteered to help us search, conducted a comprehensive search within the city. Although it was only a cursory search, no trace was found.
in……"
He glanced at Su Jian secretly and continued: "Including the clues that Commander Su Jian ordered to investigate the Lin family, there are no clues at all. They seem to have evaporated from the city.
Next, we will follow the original arrangement and prepare to send more manpower to conduct careful searches of noteworthy places in the city and never let go of anything suspicious."
In fact, only one person needs to come back to get such news. However, now that the three companies have just cooperated, in order not to show any differences, each of the three companies has a person responsible for communicating.
Looking at the Wang family warrior, Su Jian asked: "What is the situation in the city now? I mean, is there anything worth noting in the city? No matter what family or force it is, you should pay close attention to any movement."
The Wang family warrior pondered for a moment, and then replied affirmatively: "The entire city is quiet. No matter the forces, families, chambers of commerce, or some larger shops, they all seem to be extremely peaceful."
After hearing this person's answer, Su Jian turned to look at Wang Xiao. At this time, Wang Xiao was no longer as optimistic as before. Looking back at Su Jian, he said in a gloomy tone: "It seems that this special calmness
There is something special hidden underneath, what should we do next?”
