The difference between an ordinary wealthy family and a wealthy family is that the former convinces people with wealth, while the latter convinces people with strength.
After working as a "thief saint" for so many days, Shangluo had seen many so-called "rich families" when going from house to house, but she had never been as nervous as she was today.
After all, where she went before, there were no attendants with swords and swords all over the courtyard.
"Girl, is that you?" Qi Li has a good memory and recognized Shangluo as soon as they met. Of course, it may be that the other party's poor appearance at that time was really difficult to forget.
"This, the Hero of Huashan...?" Shangluo was a little embarrassed. She really didn't know what the other person's name was.
Qi Li didn't care at all, and bowed calmly: "I'm down here, Qi Li, in Huashan Mountain. I just asked someone to tell you that there is news about the thief. I hope you can tell me."
"Well, yes, I know about the thief... I can tell you, but I have a condition." Shangluo held back the holy words that came to her lips with great difficulty. She was not trying to get angry now. During the battle.
Qi Li said seriously: "Girl, please speak."
He is not a pedantic old master. It is impossible to expect everyone to help each other. In most cases, reasonable remuneration can show the gold content.
Shangluo took a deep breath and said: "My conditions are very simple. My father went out a few days ago and there is no news yet. If you can help me find him, I will tell you the news."
"This..." Qi Li never expected that Shangluo's condition would be this.
It's not that he thinks the other party is ignorant, Qi Li himself is also a well-known and upright person, and he has done many things to help others. Normally, even if he is a stranger, asking for help in front of him is such a small favor. He won't help.
But now, even he himself has to rely on the Huangfu family to avoid trouble from the Jin Yiwei. How can he accept such a condition that requires him to travel around.
He wasn't stupid enough to ask why he didn't report to the official. Since he was asked for help, it was obvious that this was a quack thing.
Qi Li looked hesitant, Shangluo was anxious, but Huangfu Lingyun beside him had bright eyes.
"Girl, your father has been kidnapped by thieves?"
"...It's just that I haven't been home some days."
Shangluo's tone was a little bad. How could a member of the Huangfu family be so virtuous? You were so happy when his father disappeared and he was kidnapped. Could it be that he was sent by you? Humph!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way."
After coming back to his senses, Huangfu Lingyun awkwardly handed over his hand to Shangluo to apologize. He coughed twice and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is nowhere to be seen. Since the girl asked Brother Qi to come here, it must be a difficult matter. Meng Jianghu can take it seriously. As our Huangfu family has become one of the three great families, we must not stand idly by."
"Eh?" Shangluo glanced at Huangfu Lingyun in surprise. Is this an unexpected surprise? Having grown up in Jiangnan, she can naturally understand the weight of the word Huangfu.
Qi Li could finally see that Huangfu Lingyun was just a fledgling young man who never seemed to think about the consequences of doing things, but it was just like this. With the Huangfu family taking the lead, he didn't have to worry about anything later.
So he immediately said: "Young Master Huangfu is so heroic and brave, I can't stay out of this matter, so I dare to invite you to go with me."
"Very good, without further ado, we are leaving now. I haven't asked you yet, what is your surname?" Huangfu Lingyun looked at Shangluo and asked.
"My surname is Li." Shangluo said without thinking.
Huangfu Lingyun immediately summoned his attendants and gave some instructions, mostly arranging manpower to search for people in the surrounding areas.
After that, Mr. Huangfu couldn't wait to greet the two of them out: "Brother Qi, Miss Li, let's go."
Maybe it wasn't because his father was missing that he wouldn't be so motivated. Shangluo looked at Huangfu Lingyun who was jumping up and down with some confusion, not knowing whether what she did was right or wrong.
Huangfu Lingyun sent away the attendants, and the three of them went out together. Not long after, a cold-faced woman in gorgeous clothes appeared in the lobby, and the attendants hurriedly came forward to salute.
"I've met the third lady."
There are three brothers and sisters in the Huangfu family. The eldest brother, Huangfu Yushu, is in charge of all external affairs of the Huangfu family. The youngest daughter, Huangfu Xiaoyuan, is in charge of most of the family affairs. And the young master of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Lingyun, is Huangfu Yushu's son.
To say that the three Huangfu brothers and sisters are the most famous, it is not Huangfu Yushu who is the head of the family, but the youngest daughter Huangfu Xiaoyuan.
The third young lady of the Huangfu family is only in her early twenties now. She is born with ice and snow. There is a saying that Fairy Lingbo is born from dust socks, and water sinks into bones and jade into flesh. If it hadn't happened that year, people would have fallen under her skirt. The man is afraid that he will be able to travel from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital.
Many years ago, a scandal occurred in the Huangfu family. The second young lady of the Huangfu family had an affair with someone and then eloped. This incident made the old head of the Huangfu family so angry that he abandoned his position as head of the family and went to live in seclusion in the back mountains. He said that he no longer had any face. Travel around the world.
Five years ago, the Huangfu family finally found their second young lady who had run away, but the gossip in the city was hard to hear. Due to the power of the Huangfu family, everyone could only talk in private at most, which was barely bearable.
But the Huangfu family was in charge of the righteous way, and that was because their own people gave them face, while the demonic way didn't care about that. The one who made the most noise was the most popular demon sect at that time, the Wan Dao Sect.
The master of the Wan Dao Sect was the most rude and directly called Ban Huangfu's family, saying that he had never had a wife in his old age. It happened to be that Huangfu had a daughter who had lost her husband, so wouldn't it be nice to have a widower and a widower?
These words made Huangfu Yushu furious on the spot. The Huangfu family lived up to the title of one of the three great aristocratic families in the world and did not disappoint everyone. A letter was sent to the Huashan sect, which was closest to Wandaomen at that time.
Unfortunately, the content of the letter was not to ask Huashan to deal with Wandaomen together, but to ask Huashan to bring back the third lady of the Huangfu family.
Yes, Huangfu Yushu was not the only one who was angry. His little sister was even more angry and knocked on the door.
At that time, Huangfu Xiaoyuan, who was only 28 years old, heard the clamor of Wandaomen and rushed out single-handedly.
The weapons that ordinary women in the world use are swords, such as thin swords, soft swords, or Emei thorns, because these weapons are easy to maneuver, elegant and graceful, and they have a fairy-like air when used.
These are the mainstream weapons. Obviously Huangfu Xiaoyuan had no choice. She used an axe.
Axes are rarely used in the martial arts world. The reason is that they are too bulky and require a high level of physical strength. To attack an enemy with an ax, most of the time they rely on force to overwhelm them. In this way, weapons with higher cost performance are also available. It’s not that there aren’t none, and there are quite a few.
As for the benefits of the ax in actual combat, it is that the posture is really scary when fighting. With one blow of the ax, it is hard to say whether the enemy's corpse can be put together afterwards.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan was just like this, armed with two long-handled Xuanhua axes, she stormed into the Wandao Sect's territory. The disciples of the masters of the sect were chopped into pieces almost as soon as they met.
After so many killings, those Wan Dao Sect members have reached the point where they will collapse at the sight of an axe. Without the leader of Wan Dao Sect, no one can resist Huangfu Xiaoyuan, the God of Killing.
So where was the Master of Wandao Sect at this time? The answer is simple. He was stopped by Huashan's troops.
At that time, the head of Huashan was not Shang Jidao, but his uncle, an old knight with a warm heart. As soon as he received the letter from the Huangfu family, he widely posted a hero post and invited all the Jianghu comrades to come and fight together. Magic gate.
He not only sent messages to the sects near Huashan, but even the far away Wudang Shaolin received his letter. This attitude was no less than wanting to fight another decisive battle between good and evil.
He was a very heroic man, a man of seventy or eighty years old. He walked up with a sword and taunted the master of Wan Dao Sect, "Come here!"
The leader of the Wan Dao Sect also had a bad temper. He stared at the people in Huashan with his sword and slashed hard, fearing the young man with his fists. The old leader of Huashan lived up to everyone's expectations and was hacked to death on the spot.
Now things are getting serious. Huashan is said to be a famous sect with a long history in the martial arts world, and it is one of the five mountain sword sects in a small way. Now the martial arts comrades are excited, and the Huangfu family is lobbying hard. The Righteous Alliance was formed and went straight to the Wan Dao Gate.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Even if the master of the Wan Dao Sect has the sword skills with one hand, he can't resist the attack by all the masters of the righteous way. However, he does not live up to the title of the Demon King of Swords. He managed to escape under heavy siege. Got out.
However, his Wan Dao Sect was unlucky. It was swarmed by the righteous martial arts, completely destroyed, and thus removed from the world.
The Wandao Sect has become history, and the Huangfu family has regained its place, but it is pitiful for the Huashan Sect. After losing its leader and losing many disciples, it had to withdraw from the competition among the Five Mountains and go into hibernation.
This was also one of the reasons why the Huangfu family was willing to provide help to the Huashan disciples, even if Qi Li was a moving problem. After all, they owed them such a huge favor.
