The gray-robed old man Hou Jianqi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhuo Mufeng, who was full of righteousness in the jade tree facing the wind, and then looked at Wu Guanting, who was sitting high on his head, as powerful as jade, with a pair of eyes shining brightly, as if he had realized something.
The words I originally wanted to say were swallowed in my throat, and my cupped hands were lowered.
Wu Guanting hummed and said calmly: "Ice Dew Villa has just surrendered to our alliance, and the affairs are complicated. After you go, you must do your best and don't do anything recklessly based on your status. If my father finds out, I will not spare you!"
Zhuo Mufeng said quickly: "Don't worry, adoptive father. Although my child's ability is mediocre, he still knows the importance. He will never discredit his adoptive father or the Sanjiang Alliance."
The two rows of bosses secretly despised the father and son.
He pretends to be fair and just, but he talks about being a father, as if he is afraid that Hou Jianqi will not know about your relationship. This little old man is very smart. Given the power of your alliance leader, it is strange that he dares to stumble Zhuo Mufeng!
The other one is even more shameless. Since he knows his abilities are mediocre, how can he dare to take over a first-rate force?
But think about it, there is a foster father up there who dares not to give face. As long as he is not stupid, nothing will go wrong on the surface.
Wu Guanting looked at Hou Jianqi, who was silent, and asked: "Vice-owner Hou, if you have any opinions, please speak up."
My opinions are of no use!
Hou Jianqi secretly slandered, and he had seen Wu Guanting's methods today. This man was soft yet tough, seemingly gentle and polite, but in fact his power was unquestionable. Now he had some understanding of why the other party was able to take control of the Sanjiang League.
However, this arrangement may not be a bad thing for Ice Dew Villa.
Glancing sideways at Zhuo Mufeng, Hou Jianqi's eyes flashed, he cupped his fists and said with a smile: "The leader of the alliance must have unparalleled sage, and his actions must have deep meaning, how can this little old man have any objections.
I have long heard that the eldest young master has extraordinary aura, and he is like a dragon or a phoenix among people. When I saw him today, he is indeed extraordinary, and I was afraid that the eldest young master would dislike the young man of Ice Dew Villa."
The two rows of bosses all cast disdainful glances at Hou Jianqi, who was talking eloquently in the middle.
This old man looked like he was being fooled before, but now he is licking his face and complimenting him. He is so shameless!
A smile appeared on Wu Guanting's face, and he raised his hand to stop: "In that case, the matter is settled. You take Mu Feng to familiarize yourself with the situation. If there is nothing important, you can go and do your own business."
Meng Jiuxiao and others looked at each other in shock.
Although the former owner of Ice Dew Villa has died, it still has many good players and can be regarded as a first-rate force. Everyone wants it, but now it is captured by the alliance leader. What can be done.
Although the alliance leader had just stayed for three months, everyone knew that it was just an excuse, and it would be strange for Ice Dew Villa to dare to act recklessly.
All of them couldn't think of anything else, so they had no choice but to lower their heads, cup their hands upwards, and leave silently.
Zhuo Mufeng didn't stay either. He had received special care for what happened today and it was time to avoid suspicion, so he left with Hou Jianqi.
After everyone had left, Wu Guanting chuckled and muttered: "Three months? I won't help with this matter. I can only help you with this matter. I've given you the opportunity. It depends on whether you can grasp it. But
It’s better not to disappoint your father.”
After leaving the meeting hall, Hou Jianqi naturally paid his respects to the eldest master solemnly, showing as much respect as possible. At first, he was impatient and wanted to obstruct the other party, but he didn't know if he would offend him or not.
Thinking of this, Hou Jianqi felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Young Master Zhuo didn't mean to care about it. He was not that stingy. Moreover, according to the old witch's name, he should be his deputy. He was going to stay at the Ice Dew Villa, so he could not rely on this person.
Hou Jianqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhuo Mufeng, and said with a smile: "Young master, when are you going to the villa? The villa is thirty miles outside the city, so it is inconvenient to come and go. If anything happens, I am willing to wait with you.
A few days.”
Young Master Zhuo was eager to take control of the Ice Dew Villa and increase his power. There was no time to waste. Without further ado, he asked Hou Jianqi to lead the way to the Ice Dew Villa.
But before leaving, Zhuo Mufeng found Huahua Peak and asked him to go to Nuanyang Mountain.
As soon as he came back yesterday, he had already asked someone to inquire and learned that there had been nothing unusual in the Mozhu Gang recently. He didn't dare to quarrel with Cui Baojian even if he thought about it.
Originally, he should go back and take a look, but he was afraid that Cui Baojian would find him again after he was alone and give him some tasks, so he simply pretended to be confused and delayed for a while.
How could outsiders know what he was thinking? Hou Jianqi looked solemn and praised: "The young master is vigorous and resolute, and he is worthy of being the son of the alliance leader!"
Zhuo Mufeng was a little happy. He didn't know what the old man's abilities were, but he was quite good at flattering others. However, this was better than not giving him any face at all.
Before leaving, Zhuo Mufeng naturally wanted to say goodbye to Miao Qingcheng, but the latter gave her a good warning before letting him go.
Soon after, the two rode away on horseback and rushed out of the east city gate.
"Boss!"
Next to the big tree outside the city, two more horses approached. Hou Jianqi's expression changed, and he immediately rode half a body forward on his horse, secretly practicing his skills, as if he was afraid that the other party would hurt Zhuo Mufeng in a sneak attack.
There was a man and a woman sitting on the two horses nearby. The man was plain-looking and had thin cheeks, but the woman was quite beautiful. Her eyes were covered with thick golden eyeshadow. They were Barong and Fang Xiaodie.
Zhuo Mufeng had previously asked Hua Peak to go up to Nuanyang Mountain to inform the two of them to wait here.
This time when he went to Ice Dew Villa, Zhuo Mufeng planned to bring the two of them there. They were proficient in poison techniques, had high martial arts skills, and were unlikely to betray, so it was quite useful to have them with him.
"Long time no see. How are you lately?" Zhuo Mufeng asked with a smile.
The senior brother and sister looked at each other, they had only seen each other for a month, and they acted as if they hadn't seen each other for a year. They said, "Thanks to the boss, everything is fine."
Zhuo Mufeng nodded: "From now on, you two will act together with me."
"yes!"
The two senior fellow apprentices naturally had no objections, and even wished for it. After all, this person was related to their lives, so they would feel more at ease if they were there to protect them, otherwise they would be exhausted to death without knowing it.
Barong and Fang Xiaodie had a tacit understanding. One on the left and one on the right, they immediately protected Zhuo Mufeng. Fang Xiaodie on the right directly separated Hou Jianqi.
Hou Jianqi was a little stunned, but he didn't get angry. It was obvious that these two people had a close relationship with the eldest young master. He asked with a smile: "Young master, who are these two heroes and heroines?"
"My people, we will discuss the specific situation later. Next, you will tell me the detailed situation of Ice Dew Villa, who is in the village, what cultivation level, defense situation, etc., must not be omitted!"
Zhuo Mufeng waved his whip lightly and drove the horse slowly. The other three people followed him closely. Hou Jianqi was determined to hold Zhuo Mufeng's thigh from the beginning. When he saw him asking questions, of course he would not hold back and immediately said "151"
Let’s start with the introduction of the ten places.
By the time the group of four approached Binglu Villa, Zhuo Mufeng and the others had a general understanding of the situation.
Many Jianghu forces will not set up their addresses in the city, because although it is convenient, it will also be strictly controlled by the government, and their freedom will inevitably be affected.
Unless a top force like the Sanjiang League has a certain influence in the officialdom, it can turn obstacles into help, but there are too few such examples.
Therefore, there are some disobedient Jianghu forces who choose to build outside the city. However, there are also inconveniences outside the city. For example, if someone kills you one day, you may not be able to find helpers, and the government cannot be at your call.
All the Jianghu forces outside the city must have a certain degree of confidence.
This is the case with Ice Dew Villa. There were originally six masters in the villa, and its owner, "Three-Inch Ice Soul" Huang Zhengxiao, was ranked 99th on the Earth Spirit List, and could be called a top-notch master in the world.
However, just over a month ago, there was a fierce battle between the Ice Dew Villa and the Huangya Gang. Huang Zhengxiao was killed on the spot, and two of the remaining five masters were seriously injured. The other warriors in the village suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of people killed or injured.
It was precisely in view of this that Ice Dew Villa was afraid of being taken over by the Huangya Gang, so Hou Jianqi finally came forward and surrendered half of the Villa's profits every year, and submitted to the Sanjiang Alliance.
"Then what is the background of Huangya Gang? Is it very strong?"
Zhuo Mufeng has a toothache. His strength is definitely not as good as Huang Zhengxiao. He is probably not even as good as the other eight masters. Don't accidentally put yourself in danger.
Thinking about it, it's not right. Since Ice Dew Villa is protected by the Sanjiang Alliance, the Huangya Gang doesn't dare to mess around.
Unexpectedly, Hou Jianqi said fiercely: "The village owner didn't know anything. This matter was later investigated by our alliance. It turns out that the Huangya Gang took refuge in the Twelve Yanyu Tower two months ago. Humph, without the secret help of the Yanyu Tower, Huang Ya
How could the village owner be killed?"
This old guy changed his tune very quickly and has changed from the eldest young master to the owner of the village.
However, what he said shocked Zhuo Mufeng. He quickly reined in the reins, looked at him and asked, "Is the Yanyu Tower behind the Huangya Gang?"
The momentum of the Twelve Yanyu Tower is not inferior to that of the Sanjiang Alliance, and its hidden strength is even greater. How can it not frighten Zhuo Mufeng.
What's going on with the old witch! He must know this kind of thing, and he actually pushed me out. I don't know if it's too late to go back now.
It's not that Zhuo Mufeng is timid and afraid of death. If there is another war between Ice Dew Villa and Huangya Gang, he, the owner of the village, will definitely bear the brunt. And with his martial arts, wouldn't he rush to die?
The old witch doesn't deserve a master. Could it be that he pinched Miao Qingcheng's shoulder last night and was deliberately retaliated against?
Zhuo Mufeng's eyes flickered uncertainly, and his frightened look made Hou Jianqi look down upon him, and he quickly said: "Master, don't worry, there are rules in the world.
In the last fierce battle, Yanyu Tower did not send out its masters, but I found out later that the Huangya Gang had already taken refuge in Yanyu Tower. The gang leader and several senior officials had obtained the resources of Yanyu Tower, and their skills had improved a lot, so they started fighting.
It caught us off guard."
Zhuo Mufeng asked strangely: "Why doesn't Yanyu Tower send its own troops? Wouldn't that be able to destroy Binglu Villa?"
Hou Jianqi found that this person really didn't understand, and secretly sighed. It would be good to have a foster father with a strong background. He patiently explained: "Everyone knows that Gusu City is the territory of our Sanjiang Alliance, so Yanyu Tower doesn't dare to do it.
Too much, this is the rule!
The owner of the village, just imagine, if Yanyulou did this, would we, the Sanjiang Alliance, be able to retaliate and destroy Yanyulou's power on its territory? If this were to happen, wouldn't it be chaos in the world?
Therefore, many years ago, the Holy Martial Alliance established rules, and all the top forces in the world abide by them. No matter what methods are used secretly, at least on the surface, whoever dares to break the rules and mess around in each other's territory will cause chaos.
