You must know that there are only three kinds of currency circulating among the three ancient countries, ordinary shells, copper shells and gold shells. One gold shell can be exchanged for a thousand copper shells, which of course surprised this middle-aged man. His eyes were wide open.
The middle-aged man looked at Guan Heng and the woman and little girl behind him. Although Rong Xuan Shima looked like a monster and Ruotao was wearing half a weird gold foil mask, the rest of them really didn't look like villains.
So, he asked: "If you have anything to do, just ask."
"That's right, here are the few of us. Needless to say, you can tell at a glance that we are not locals, so there are some things that I really don't know the details of." Guan Heng whispered in the middle-aged man's ear: "I want to inquire Let’s talk about Xiang, the brother of co-leader Yu Shun.”
"What?! You want to ask him? I don't know, I don't know..." When the middle-aged man heard the word "elephant", his expression suddenly changed. In panic, he reached out to grab his load of firewood and ran away.
"Pa." Guan Heng held his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be nervous first. I can't let you go easily. To tell you the truth, we asked four or five passers-by about this guy before. But as soon as the other person hears this name, he runs faster than a rabbit."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd look: "Well, so I'm the unlucky one, am I the one who got caught?"
"A Heng, don't be too harsh to this uncle. Let me ask." Qing Huang walked up to the middle-aged man with a smile and nodded slightly: "Hello, uncle."
"Well, you don't have to be polite, girl." The other party seemed a little embarrassed when he saw such a beautiful girl saluting him, and his face turned red.
Qinghuang continued: "Don't be nervous. We just want to ask a few questions. We have no other meaning. Please tell me the truth. Of course, if you are in trouble, we will not force you."
At this point, Qinghuang said to Guan Heng: "You are too reckless. Hurry up and give the golden shell to uncle to calm down the shock."
"Oh, it's up to you." Guan Heng chuckled and put the thing into the middle-aged man's hand: "Well, I'm sorry."
"This, I took your things for nothing for no reason, I..."
Seeing Qing Huang's sincere words, the middle-aged man looked around again. When he saw that no one was passing by, he immediately said: "My home is nearby, just two steps away. If you want to inquire about the news, just go and sit down." , it’s really unsafe to talk on the street.”
In this way, the middle-aged man led Guan Heng and others to his house. As soon as he entered the door, a simple woman in a Jingchai cloth skirt came over and asked: "Zhang Liu, have you sold the firewood? Are you going to sell it today?" Do you have any leftover to buy back some food?"
"Uh, well..." The middle-aged man Zhang Liu had just unloaded his load of firewood at the door. He was an honest man and was not very good at telling lies. When his wife asked, he was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Qing Huang hurriedly said: "Is this aunt? Where is Uncle Zhang's firewood? We have already bought it, but my two sisters are thirsty. Uncle Zhang was kind enough to bring us here to ask for a bowl of water."
"Oh, it turns out that distinguished guests have arrived. Please hurry up and take a seat inside." Zhang Lu's wife is also an honest person. When she saw Guan Heng and Qing Huang, who were handsome and distinguished, she became more respectful and greeted everyone after they came in. , she went to boil water.
Zhang Lu was grateful at this time and smiled at Qing Huang: "Girl, thank you very much."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qinghuang looked at the shabby house with only four walls, and thought to herself that this place could barely shelter from the wind and rain. It seemed that the Zhang family lived a very poor life. She added, "Uncle Zhang, What we just asked..."
"Haha, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Zhang Lu arrived home at this time, and his heart was much calmer. He said: "Now that you have arrived at my place, you can ask whatever you want, because the name of 'that person' is in This is a taboo in Pusaka Castle.”
"Haha, I already had this feeling when I asked about the first person just now." Guan Heng smiled bitterly, and then said: "But don't worry, we also have a dislike for this person."
It turned out that the person Guan Heng and the others wanted to inquire about was named Xiang. He was really the brother of the co-leader of the ancient Yu Kingdom. He was known as the country's number one warrior and the strongest black energy tyrant.
"Master Xiang... How should I put it? It's true that this person is powerful, but it's a pity that he is domineering and unpopular." Zhang Lu whispered at this moment: "It is said that he is best at using some black air palm sword moves, which is very powerful Incomparable, I have defeated countless powerful enemies in my life.”
Hearing this, the corners of Guan Heng's mouth turned up, and a smile flashed across his face: "Hey, this is the right match, it is indeed him..."
"Sword?!" Ruotao said from the side: "Sir, aren't you also very good at this kind of trick?"
"Of course, I can use the palm sword only because of this guy." At this point, Guan Heng gently touched his heart with his hand, and he whispered: "This guy almost killed me back then. It is absolutely impossible to think now that I will show up again.”
The encounter with this guy named Xiang was extremely dangerous. When Guan Heng passed by the Mizu tribe, he once went to the ruins of the ancient battlefield and met the dead ghosts and the mysterious black energy tyrant, also known as Xiang.
The strength of the two sides was too disparity. Although Guan Heng took advantage of the opportunity when the strongest zombie ghost bit Xiang on the shoulder to shoot an arrow, and luckily injured the black energy tyrant, he was seriously injured by Xiang's black energy palm knife.
That night, the black-qi tyrant was finally injured under the sneak attack of the dead zombies. There were only two reasons. First, he was ecstatic the moment he got the black beads and relaxed his vigilance. In addition, this guy simply couldn't. One thing he didn't expect was that the corpse ghost who died in the battle would recover instantly with the help of the remnant soul of Qinghuang in his body.
Secondly, Xiang couldn't wait to absorb the corpse bead-like aura of the dead ghoul in order to increase his strength. However, at that moment, his whole body was in a defenseless state, and he was successfully attacked by the ghoul.
Originally, it was not difficult for the Black Qi Tyrant to get rid of the corpse fang poison, but Xiang was suddenly attacked while absorbing the power of the corpse bead, causing the cold power of the corpse ghost to merge with the corpse fang poison in an instant. The explosion doubled in his body, and he couldn't suppress the injury for a while, causing serious injuries and blood spurting.
However, when this guy saw the corpse ghost recovering as before with the help of Qinghuang's remnant soul, he became greedy and wanted to take away the remnant soul.
At that moment, Xiang's overlord's black energy gathered into a powerful palm knife and cut the dead corpses into countless rotten minced meat in an instant. However, in the moment of triumph, he caused the injury and was finally injured by Guan Heng's secret arrow.
However, the Black Qi Tyrant's crazy counterattack was child's play. Xiang's first two palm strikes were blocked by the Ghost Swallowing Tiger, but the last Tyrant's Qi Palm Saber was wrapped in the strong wind and fell. It immediately tilted on Guan Heng's shoulder and extended to the position of his heart. Leaving a very deep scar.
"Hmph... Although the Tyrant Sword Qi left in my body has been expelled long ago, whenever I think about it, my wound still hurts." Guan Heng whispered to Qing Huang and Ruo beside him. Tao said: "Just think about it, how can I not repay this kind of 'great kindness'?"
When Guan Heng said this, his tone was full of murderous intent, but he did not shy away from the middle-aged man Zhang Lu in front of him. When the other party heard that Guan Heng had a grudge against Xiang, his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Uncle Zhang Lu..." Qinghuang saw that the other party looked a little unnatural, so he said, "If staying here will embarrass you, then, we'd better leave."
"No, no, I was just a little shocked after hearing that you and Lord Xiang had a grudge."
Zhang Lu smiled bitterly at this time and said: "This is in my home, so it's okay to talk about it. Like that person, he has a bad temper and is cruel and has many enemies. Not to mention how many people in Yugu Kingdom hate him. Here in Puban City alone, There are many people who have been bullied by Lord Xiang and Shahui."
"Shahui?!" Hearing Zhang Lu comparing Xiang and Shahui, Guan Heng's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he immediately asked: "Uncle Zhang, is it possible that there are brothers who are the co-leaders of the Yugu Kingdom and are colluding with the notorious Shahui? Can’t do it?”
At this moment, Zhang Lu sighed: "Oh, you are outsiders, of course you don't know."
"Among the three ancient kingdoms of Chongguo, Taotang and Youyu, evil spirits have always been rampant in our country and caused trouble everywhere."
He paused for a moment before continuing: "A few years ago, there were rumors that Xiang, the brother of the co-leader Yu Shun, connived at and protected the people of Sha Hui. It often happened. Everyone has long been concerned about the rumors of collusion between the two parties. It has been spread secretly that the world is now being invaded and ravaged by various monsters, and the three ancient kingdoms are bearing the brunt of it. People of many tribes have been harmed, and those guys are terrible..."
"I know this." Xiao Hei suddenly smiled and said, "Those bad guys seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Uncle, am I right?"
"Xiao Hei, listen to uncle honestly." Guan Heng's face darkened slightly: "It is very rude to interrupt other people's discussion suddenly."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Hearing Xiao Hei's apology, Zhang Lu laughed: "It doesn't matter, this kid is not wrong. Those guys are really bad. They are running rampant with the support of Lord Xiang. Wuji has done a lot of things."
When Ruotao heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, I heard that the leader of the ancient country, Yu Shun, has always been known for his fairness and justice. His brother helped evil and did evil. Why didn't Yu Shun take care of him?"
"Well, if it had been left to the first two years, the co-leader might have been able to take control of this unscrupulous brother."
"But now, the co-leader may not be able to protect himself." Zhang Lu shook his head when he said this. His wife was carrying a tray and brought some noodles and water over, and said: "Poor people If you don’t mind the coarse food, please try some of it.”
"Thank you, auntie, I happen to be hungry." Xiao Hei was honest and polite, grabbed a pancake and bit it, then said with a smile: "It's very sweet and delicious."
After hearing this, Guan Heng and Qing Huang said in unison: "Really? I'll try it too."
"Haha, the old woman's rough craftsmanship is not bad. There is some nectar in this cake, so it has a sweet taste." Guan Heng asked while eating: "Uncle Zhang, you said that the co-owner cannot protect himself, what's going on?"
"Little brother, you don't know. We have Master Yu Shun, the co-leader of Yu Ancient Kingdom. He is an amazing King of Purple Qi. However, as we all know, he suffered from a strange asthma disease in his early years."
Zhang's wife spoke up at this time: "The disease was not serious at first, but we heard that at the beginning of the year, the co-leader returned to his old illness and vomited a lot of blood at his residence. I'm afraid he has..."
"Oh, I understand." After listening to the other party's words, Guan Heng touched his chin and said, "It seems that this guy knew that his brother was going to die soon, so he acted unscrupulously and domineeringly, even colluding with the evil spirit. It’s all been laid out openly.”
Before Guan Heng finished speaking, Zhang Lu and his wife immediately nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, that's it."
Next, everyone had lunch at Zhang Liu's house, during which they talked a lot about the past of the Yugu Kingdom. Even though Zhang Liu was just a woodcutter who cut wood, he was a woodcutter who specialized in supplying wood to the palace of the co-owner. , know a lot about the current situation of Yu Shun and Xiang.
Finally, when Guan Heng and the others said goodbye, they left a lot of gold shells behind. Zhang Lu and his wife could not refuse, so they had to accept them with great gratitude.
Walking on the street, Ruotao said: "Sir, that Mr. Xiang almost caused you a big fall. Now, shall we seek revenge from him?"
"Ruotao, how many times have I told you that you and I are 'just men' and it is not advisable to seek personal revenge or vent private anger."
Guan Heng shook his head at this time, pretending to be righteous and said: "But, there are too many things to describe like that bastard who colluded with the evil society, harmed the people, acted domineering, and acted unscrupulously. We need to deal with scum like this severely. 'Enlighten' me, everyone, am I right?"
Qinghuang chin slightly: "Yeah, it sounds great."
Ruotao smiled and said: "Okay, the reason is sufficient, both public and private."
Xiao Hei also raised his thumbs and praised: "Brother-in-law, you are really amazing. I bet you are the first expert to change the reason for expressing personal anger to be so flawless."
"Ahem, Xiao Hei, there's no need to say the last sentence in the future." Old Guan Heng blushed slightly and cleared his throat and said, "Because it will make me lose face."
Everyone was talking and laughing all the way, and at dusk they walked outside the wall of the palace of the co-owner of Pusaka City. Just as they were discussing how to get in, an earth-shattering event was brewing in the palace.
…
At this moment, in the palace, there is the room of Xiang, the brother of the co-owner.
"Dong dong dong." Hearing the knock on the door, Xiang put down the wine cup in his hand and said impatiently: "Come in."
With a "squeak", the door opened, and two palace servants walked in. Xiang glanced at them, and then asked in a deep voice: "How is it? Did you drink the ginseng soup today, old man?"
One of the chamberlains came forward and bowed and said: "Master Qi, the co-master has already consumed half a bowl of ginseng soup. He feels tired and has fallen asleep."
"Hmph, after taking the 'added' ginseng soup for nearly half a month, this old guy is still dragging his body with illness and not dying. It's really disgusting!" Xiang had a bad temper. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly grabbed the wine cup on the table and threw it. On the ground: "Pa!"
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the two chamberlains changed drastically and they were trembling with fear.
The next moment, Xianghuo stood up and suddenly overturned the table with cups, plates and dishes in front of him, and "crash--" fragments of food and utensils were scattered all over the floor.
