Chapter 44 Swallow Town (2)
Dusk has passed and night has fallen.
Li Mengzhou shook her right arm, thinking about what Gu Shiyan said in the teahouse, but she let go of her defense.
There are very few disciples under the Buerdong Sect, and each disciple comes from various countries in the world. For example, Han Yi comes from the Western Jin Dynasty, the second one is from the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the third one and the fifth one are from the Jiang Kingdom, the fourth one is from the Northern Yan Kingdom, and the sixth one is from the Southern Yu Dynasty.
Some of them were orphans who were discovered by Li Daoling and brought back to Bu Erdong to teach the way of practice. Some of them came from ordinary families or large clans with certain backgrounds. Aside from the identity of the disciples of Bu Erdong, they of course also had their own families and people they knew when they were young.
Gu Shiyan came from the Western Jin Dynasty, and the only one in Bu Erdong was Han Yi. If you want to know Gu Shiyan and someone in Bu Erdong, you can only be Han Yi.
Li Mengzhou has heard more than once that Han Yi has not died. Perhaps Gu Shiyan has also heard about this from some storytellers and specially asked Jiang Guo to investigate, which is reasonable.
Since Li Mengzhou was able to find out that Dan Tai Jing was related to the Fuere Cave family extermination, Gu Shiyan certainly had a way to find out, so the two met cleverly, and because of their suspicion of their respective identities, they chose to remain silent.
Li Mengzhou felt that he was a very simple person. Since he was frank and made public, he must of course believe every word Gu Shiyan said.
Although Gu Shiyan did not accurately say who she knew from Buerdong and still hid something, why didn't Li Mengzhou say that? What should be said can be said, but what should not be said at the moment will naturally continue to become a secret.
Although his injuries have not fully recovered, he can only deal with a cultivator at the peak of the third realm, but he still has to take risks. After all, this is not Gu Shiyan's own business. Even if the Wei family is in a dragon's den, he still has to go and make a breakthrough.
Gu Shiyan held an oil-paper umbrella and followed Li Mengzhou silently.
She was also thinking about what Li Mengzhou said in the teahouse.
Not everyone knows the incident of the Fu Er Cave extermination in the world of practice, but at least it is well known that all the people in the Fu Er Cave are dead, and it is impossible for anyone to live without being known to the world.
Even the news about the white-robed swordsman Han Yisheng, which was often talked about by the storyteller, is very dramatic and cannot be confirmed. However, if calculated based on Li Mengzhou's age, if someone really survives Bu Erdong, the most likely one is the newly-entered junior brother.
But Li Mengzhou did not admit this. Gu Shiyan knew very well that even if she wanted to make it honest, both sides were still hiding the most important thing.
She couldn't say something, so naturally she couldn't force Li Mengzhou to ask, otherwise it would be easy to backfire.
Looking at the back of the boy walking in front, a complex and unexplained color flashed in Gu Shiyan's eyes and said softly: "There must be more than one monk at the peak of the third level in the Wei family. With your current state, you may be in danger. Maybe I can't pay attention to you all the time."
Li Mengzhou stopped, looked back at Gu Shiyan, and said, "I won't do anything to die. I was seriously injured before, so it took some time. Now, since I said yes, it's definitely OK."
Although practice is something that ordinary people yearn for, in fact, you will find that practice is not beautiful at all in this world and may die at any time. It is far less good than being an ordinary person. The only benefit may be that it has strong power and has a more lifespan than ordinary people.
In this case, practitioners will have some trump cards, and the ultimate goal is to save their lives. Li Mengzhou has an extremely strong body and endless mental power. These are all his trump cards. If they can't fight with their strength, then they will fight with their mental power. If they can't fight with their mind power, Li Mengzhou will not be afraid.
If all the trump cards are all used, you still can't beat your opponent, so you will only have the peerless secrets left, and you will run away.
As the saying goes, keep the green mountains and you will not have to worry about burning firewood.
Life is a very fragile thing, and there is no chance to do it again, so you should cherish it. When it is possible, you should put the enemy to death. When it is impossible, of course, save your life as the main premise.
Although it is not something to be proud of, Li Mengzhou has been quite accomplished in escaping for many years.
Otherwise he would not be able to live until now.
Thinking of this, Li Mengzhou suddenly felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate to just kill the Wei family, but after staring at Gu Shiyan for a while, he thought with comfort that even if he really encountered any danger, he could hide directly behind Gu Shiyan and be a protected little man obediently. It was still very beautiful to think about it.
......
After dinner, Wei Ni collapsed on the bed and couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Gu Shiyan's voice, appearance and smile. He was simply infatuated.
However, thinking that there was a sloppy boy standing beside Gu Shiyan, Wei Ni yelled in anger, and his fair face also showed abnormal rosyness.
The door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a girl with a maid's hair ran in hurriedly and shouted nervously: "Young Master, are you okay?"
Wei Ni shouted impatiently: "Get out!"
The little maid looked very aggrieved, and she whispered, left obediently, and closed the door.
Wei Ni scratched his head a little crazy and made his hair messy. In fact, the little maid looked pretty good, and Wei Ni had also thought about it. Unfortunately, his mind was full of Gu Shiyan now. Looking at the undeveloped little girl, he no longer had any thoughts. He felt that he might have been possessed.
Thinking that Grandpa Wei Jie had said at Chunfeng Inn that he could get what he wanted, he no longer had the intention to sleep. He climbed out of bed and pushed the door and ran out.
At this time, Wei Jie and Wei Xiang were listening to reports from subordinates of strange men and women sent out to investigate Yanzi Town recently. After Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan arrived in Yanzi Town, they did not deliberately hide their bodies, and even swaggered on the street. It was easy to be noticed.
"They did appear in Yanzi Town."
Wei Jie thought about the scene when he was shocked by Gu Shiyan's sword that rainy night, and his teeth itched. If the practitioner cannot be strong enough to ignore the rules of the world, there will be many ways to kill him. Wei Jie was frightened by Gu Shiyan's strength, but he is still confident that he can be invincible in Yanzi Town.
Wei Xiang knew what Wei Jie wanted to do. He had already sent an invitation to the Cao family not long ago. Whether the Cao family wanted to annex the Wei family or was afraid of any conspiracy in the Wei family, the Cao family would appear here tonight.
And there will inevitably be strong people.
If you can make good use of it, even if you can't make friends with Gu Shiyan, you can still use Gu Shiyan's power to defeat the Cao family in one fell swoop, and even kill two birds with one stone and raise the banner of the Wei family in advance, so you don't have to pay a lot of money to find those allies. This is an excellent solution.
But he was also very worried about whether the Wei family had such a big appetite to swallow the Cao family. At this critical moment, the Cao family would be prepared for the invitation. If a move was not good, they might fail and even make wedding dresses for others.
Wei Jie could tell what he was thinking by just looking at Wei Xiang's expression. He sipped a sip of tea silently and said, "The strongest person in the Cao family is Cao Tianbao, who has the peak cultivation level of the third level. He is only half a step away from the threshold of the fourth level, but the gap between the third level and the fourth level is vast. Even if the Cao family sends all the wild cultivators of the third level to attend the banquet, they will not be the opponent of the two major cultivators of the fourth level."
Wei Jie had his own considerations, and many details were inconvenient to talk to Wei Xiang. Although his purpose was to win over Gu Shiyan as much as possible, if he could not win over, he would be completely destroyed in Yanzi Town. However, the grudge between the Cao family and the Wei family was ultimately a matter within Yanzi Town. If an outsider was in a quarrel, the Cao family's ambition would definitely not be indifferent.
As long as his layout does not make much mistakes and uses Gu Shiyan to consume the power of the Cao family, even if the strongest power of the Cao family is not able to fall in the end, Wei Jie alone will be able to kill all the remaining miscellaneous fish.
"The people from the Cao family should be coming soon, so let's go out to greet them."
Wei Xiang trusted Wei Jie very much and trusted Wei Jie's strong strength. He temporarily put aside his concerns, put on his clothes, and walked out of the mansion with Wei Jie.
Without waiting for a long time, the people from the Cao family arrived as promised.
As expected, Cao Cheng, the head of the Cao family, brought many people, and Cao Tianbao was among them.
When Cao Cheng received an invitation from the Wei family, he believed that there must be a conspiracy. However, Cao Tianbao believed that although Wei family had Wei Jie, a great monk who entered the fourth realm, could not defeat four hands with two fists. After the Wei family's business was completely suppressed, it was probably Wei Xiang who woke up. The purpose of sending invitations was to show weakness. If the Cao family did not dare to attend the banquet, it would be like being afraid of the Wei family.
However, for all considerations, the Cao family, in addition to the three realms of cultivation who attended the banquet, also gathered all their strength and secretly lurked around the Wei family's mansion. As long as there was any problem, they could rush forward and completely disintegrate the Wei family.
"The arrival of the head of the Cao family this time has really made my Wei family prosperous. The banquet is ready, please invite it."
Wei Xiang knows how to be a human being very good. Even though he hates Cao Cheng very much, he still shows a sincere smile in a hypocritical way.
Cao Cheng bowed his hands and smiled hypocritically: "Brother Wei, be polite."
After arranging the three realms of the Cao family, the main characters sat down, Wei Xiang looked at Cao Cheng and Cao Tianbao opposite him, raised his glass and said, "The development of Yanzi Town cannot be separated from Brother Cao's contribution. I should pay tribute to you here."
Cao Cheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei, what's this? The Wei family has a great cause and a long history of success than my Cao family. When it comes to credit, how dare my Cao family be called great."
He said so, but he didn't mean to raise his glass to return.
However, Cao Tianbao looked at Wei Jie calmly and bowed and said, "Old Wei seems to be a little inappropriate. Could it be that he has something to worry about? Or is he too old and he is starting to lose his ability to do things?"
He was not in the mood to pay attention to Wei Xiang's polite words without any nutrition. The only one who really cared about the entire Wei family was Wei Jie.
Although Wei Xiang is also a practitioner at the peak of the three realms, his understanding is different, so there are naturally differences in strength and weakness. Cao Tianbao is in his prime, so how could he be afraid of people who are weaker than him?
Hearing this, Wei Jie remained silent, but Wei Xiang's face had changed.
He took the initiative to toast, and Cao Cheng ignored him, but he was very angry. However, Cao Tianbao was so blatantly provoking Wei Jie, which made Wei Xiang angry. But after all, he was the head of the family, so this emotion could not be easily revealed. He said with a smile: "Old Wei worked too much, had some sleep deficiency, and had always been in good health. Brother Cao was worried about it."
Cao Tianbao said indifferently: "It doesn't mean that it's still the same in the future. After all, Wei is old and may close his eyes and never wake up again. Since that's the case, he should have a good life. Why bother to interfere in things that shouldn't be involved?"
Click.
A crack appeared in the wine glass in Wei Xiang's hand. Faced with repeated provocations, even if he smiled on the surface, he was extremely angry. He treated Wei Jie as his biological father, and how could he tolerate Cao Tianbao being so rude and cursed Wei Jie to death.
Cao Cheng drank wine calmly, as if he had not heard or seen anything about it.
When it comes to calmness, the calmest one is Wei Jie. He is really calm and his mood is not at all turbulent. In his eyes, neither Cao Cheng nor Cao Tianbao are already dead. Why should he mind when facing the provocation of dead people?
They came to the Wei family with such a proud attitude, but they didn't know that they had entered a dead end, so they could only have time to talk nonsense at this moment.
Wei Jie's consciousness was not in this mansion at all. He let out Shenyou and saw the Cao family hiding in the dark. He calmly chose to ignore it. Shenyou expanded the distance, and then on a certain street, he saw the boy and girl walking slowly, one after another.
Gu Shiyan paused slightly, took off the white oil-paper umbrella and looked in a certain direction, and said lightly: "From Chunfeng Inn, we followed the carriage to Yanzi Town, we were far away from each other, and deliberately blocked the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth. The old man did not notice us. Now the distance is closer, and he saw us is very ordinary, but he seemed a little blind and confident. Can't he even find the problem?"
Li Mengzhou remained silent.
With his strength, he can easily do it with his complete restrained aura, but he cannot block the sight of powerful practitioners. This is all thanks to Gu Shiyan.
If Wei Jie is a cautious person, he will naturally find the problem here, but this does not mean that Wei Jie is not cautious enough. Perhaps the other party is deliberately trying to make a plan at this moment?
"The Wei family seems to have gathered a lot of practitioners. Are they here to deal with us?"
Li Mengzhou could think of not killing Wei Jie for the time being and using him to lead the way to Yanzi Town, but Wei Jie could not know that he was coming to Yanzi Town. Even before entering Chunfeng Inn, Li Mengzhou had never heard of Yanzi Town. All of this was a coincidence.
The Wei family gathered so many wild cultivators with the third level of cultivation, so there were many problems.
Perhaps Wei Jie did not find anyone following him in a state of storm before, but he would also have some doubts in his heart that cautious people would be prepared for a vicious person who had just encountered a powerful practitioner and escaped from the queen of heaven. He would understand.
ps: (I am honored to have been on the app's big ban, well, plump and full, very exciting. To be honest, this book is a bit slow, but there is no way. The plot details are considered very time and energy, which makes it really not fast. We need to last longer and maintain quality, so it is very fast. In fact, I am still very happy to write, and many wonderful ideas will burst out in the process, and they will also be displayed in the follow-up as much as possible. This book is something I like very much. Whether it is the entanglements of each character or the plot rippling in my mind, but due to the limited writing style, there will be many shortcomings in the presentation. I will try to make her perfect as much as possible. Now it is a burst update, and there is not much manuscript saved, so I don't plan to hide my personal information. I will release it. There may be another chapter at night. If not, well... you can't beat me.)
Chapter completed!
