Jingzhou, Jingcheng.
Since half a month ago, I don’t know where it started, scandals about the affair between Lu Sheng, a descendant of the Lu family, and his aunt Han Rui have been reported one after another in the city.
After this period of fermentation, it has become more and more intense, and there are various versions.
When a crowd speaks, three people become a tiger.
Even rumors without evidence made the Lu family the focus of the fairy city and lost their face.
One of the parties involved, Lu Sheng, has died, and his death has disappeared.
Han Rui panicked, because it was true, as if she was being roasted on a fire.
Not only did the clan members look strange and point, they were slapped by their husbands and questioned by their ancestors, and they all denied it through gritted teeth.
Until this night.
Baotong Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Shenxiao Sect, held an auction. In front of a large crowd, an image condensed in the sky above the hall.
Thousands of people ate a big melon together and watched half of the exciting battle between men and women shirtless.
Although the time was short because he was interrupted by an ancestor of the Lu family who was present, it was enough for everyone to see clearly and the atmosphere was warm.
Then, the whole city was shocked.
As for the 'initiator'?
There were many people present, and there were occasional sound transmission conversations, and there were many mortal service personnel. As for the gathering talisman, Bai Feifei had turned to mortals many times to activate it with oral instructions, so there was no way to find out.
The Lu family targeted family rivals, and even suspected that the trouble was caused by internal competition among clansmen, causing a huge disturbance.
Han Rui's fate is unknown.
But apart from her, there were many noble women cultivators in the city who were in panic all day long. They all thought that Lu Sheng's death must have caused the secret of the talisman to be leaked.
Everyone hopes that the 'murderer' will show up soon, get in touch, blackmail, extort, whatever. They just want the matter to be resolved privately, so as not to become a laughing stock in the world.
In addition, there was a woman who had nothing to do with him, Lu Su, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Although there was no evidence or sign at all, the woman's sixth sense told her that the matter was probably related to Zhong Yan!
She sent people to hunt her down, but it was easy but to no avail.
Zhong Yan once threatened her that if anything happened, he would take the talisman to be auctioned. What happened now happened to be at the auction, so it was a bit of a warning no matter how you looked at it.
After thinking and hesitating for a long time, Lu Su directly sent a message to Zhong Yan.
"Have you heard about the auction?"
Zhong Yan, who always kept track of the situation through Bai Feifei, smiled and said: "It's a pity that I came back early, otherwise I would definitely have witnessed this once-in-a-century show on the spot. Your Lu family has become a mess, right?"
Lu Su: "You did it?"
"What?"
Zhong Yan's face was full of smiles, his tone was surprised, and he laughed angrily: "It's none of my business! Don't throw dirty water, don't worry, our good deed Zhong Mou defended each other to death, how could it be leaked? After all, I am also one of the protagonists! "
Lu Su was silent for a while: "Since you and I have reached cooperation, I hope you will keep your word."
"That's natural."
The opposite end of the arraignment.
After a while, Zhong Yan smiled and took out another communication talisman belonging to Lu Ruiqi, and threw Lu Ruiqi to the ground from the spirit beast bag.
Lu Su had been summoned before for questioning. He threatened the two and told them that something had happened. They met Yang Fan from the Ba Yuan Sect and killed him.
"Same as last time, repeat as I told you, if you dare to add a word more or less, or if the tone is wrong, you will die immediately!"
Zhong Yan unlocked part of Lu Ruiqi's seal and handed him the talisman.
Lu Su's voice came out: "The mission is cancelled, come back."
Lu Ruiqi was slightly startled. After listening to Zhong Yan's words, he repeated Ningyin: "Why? Brother Lu Ge and I have arrived in Qingyang. We can take action when we find a suitable opportunity. There is no chance of failure."
Lu Su's tone was calm but unquestionable: "I said no."
Contact is cut off.
Lu Ruiqi looked up and asked, "When will you let us go back?"
"Not urgent."
Zhong Yan sealed him again and threw him into the spirit beast bag.
The two came here to kill him. If he fell, it would cause a lot of inconveniences. It was really not good to kill him immediately just in case.
But how could it be put back?
Two foundations, good combat power, great puppet material.
"The threat from the Lu family is temporarily lifted..."
Zhong Yan pondered for a while and left the training room.
In the yard, a group of beauties were admiring and laughing around the majestic 'Flying Thunder Ape' Xiao Hong.
"Husband!"
Yu Qingyao said: "Everyone is here."
Zhong Yan nodded, glanced at Xiao Hong, whose eyes were filled with hostility, smiled, and waved his hand to lift everyone up into the sky.
The group returned triumphantly last night, but they kept a low profile and did not enter the city in a flying boat. Instead, they landed a hundred meters away and walked, which was enough for outsiders to receive the news.
At this moment, in the main hall of the first courtyard, a large group of people looked happy and talked a lot. They learned that Zhong Yan had returned and rushed back to the mansion from all over.
When they saw people coming, they all saluted and greeted them.
"Husband!"
"Father!"
"master!"
"Master!"
"Father!"
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Zhong Yan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."
After some small talk, the family members, including the guests and the main servants, had a reunion banquet.
Zhong Yan also got to know a few new people through this, such as the adopted daughter Zhong Muxi, a girl who has become an eighteenth-year-old girl and is graceful; Xu Ce, the captain of the Shadow Guard team, is a burly young man who has entered the second level of innate realm at the age of seventeen...
Subsequently.
Zhong Yan then sat in the main hall and listened to all kinds of information and details from inside and outside the clan.
Such as:
Zhong Xiaozhong: "Half of Wei's territory has fallen. Wei has only nine alliance armies left, holding on to a dozen giant cities and large cities in the southwest... Small-scale battles have broken out among the five countries many times... Qin Ben controls a huge City and two large cities, the headquarters and the captives included, the army has nearly 400,000..."
Gu Baiyu: "The main forces from all directions in the city, the Fire Cloud Sect, which dominates the city, have a late-stage elder who is in charge..."
"Yang Yanqing succeeded in establishing the foundation. The 'Ke Qing type' family has been recruiting guests and has over a hundred monks. However, Yang Yanqing is the only one in the Foundation building realm..."
"The city lord's palace is in charge of mortals, and the ability to cultivate immortals is the weakest. Apart from Xia Xinzhu and the two accompanying maids, there are only less than ten monks and guests..."
"The Keqing Mansion has the largest number of people, headed by Wen Tailai and Xia Wenxuan. There are more than 4,000 people registered. They are all in the Qi refining period, and there is no cohesion..."
Zhou Yunning: "Currently, the total number of martial arts disciples in the martial arts hall is 1,034. The war hall contains 300 elites with acquired fifth level and above, 80 people are incorporated into the Shadow Guard, and 21 dead soldiers have been developed... "
"There are a total of forty-two people in the Xiantian Realm. After strict selection and assessment, twenty-three have become trusted managers in the mansion..."
After explaining in detail, Zhou Yunning handed over the list and raised his finger to point to the girl in the costume who followed.
"Husband, her name is Mu Qiu, she is in the fourth level of innate realm. She is currently in charge of all the affairs of the war hall."
The girl knelt down and said, "Mu Qiu has met the clan leader!"
Zhong Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, if you have any needs, just ask."
"Yes! My subordinates will definitely fulfill their responsibilities and go through fire and water for our clan!"
Wait for the two of them to leave.
Yan Sandao shouted out at the door, and Yang Liu'er walked in quickly.
"I have met my uncle!"
Yang Liuer mainly reported on the situation in more than ten towns around Qingyang City.
Zhong Yan had already given instructions, and she had sent the Li family's death guards to lurk in all walks of life.
then.
Wen Hong entered.
"...There are only forty-nine people at the moment, seventeen boys and thirty-two girls, aged between five and twelve years old."
"Sixteen were bought, and the rest were born as refugee orphans in the surrounding areas of Qingyang and Wangdi."
"Five of them have spiritual roots, and the others have good physical roots and can practice martial arts."
"It's not easy to find. I suggest that we can go further afield in the future. There must be many displaced children in Wei State."
These children have been raised since childhood and know the basics. They will be the spouses of their descendants in the future. This was the plan that Zhong Yan made before he left.
Zhong Yan nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Guo will let go first and go east and south. I will let Hui Lan take charge of this matter with you."
"Okay, husband."
"..."
The report lasted all day and night, and everyone, including Li Shangwu, came into the palace to explain the situation of the Li family.
Zhong Yan organized and summarized all the information and summoned a group of close relatives and family members to arrange the next specific work.
For example, when recruiting guest ministers, the strength of the monks in the clan is still a bit low, and a group of "cannon fodder" must be gathered. You cannot do everything by yourself.
Another example is the plan for the Liu family, starting from Qingyuan Village where the Liu family "resides in the village for a fee".
Another example is to reclaim wasteland and build another base camp to prepare for emergencies.
He had discussed this matter with Yu Qingyao before and decided to call it 'Liusha Island'.
Arrangements are in order.
Five days after returning, Zhong Yan left the house for the first time and drove a BMW puppet to blow up the streets.
