"There are more than 400 families in Wangjia Village, all with the surname Wang. We farm on our own farm and train young people. Those of us who go out to develop, promote the clan members, select talented ones to help them practice, and everyone helps and supports each other."
Wang Yunfei's face became increasingly ugly as he spoke: "But our Wang family is nothing compared to the three families of the city lords.'
"The Wang family is just a small village in the wilderness, and the three city lords have a city larger than Quan'an City for them to live in. There are special roads between the main cities of those city lords. We retail households are only in name. Life in the name of the White Jade Dynasty."
The more Wang Xing listened, the more astonishment appeared on his face. At the end, he couldn't understand it.
"According to you, more than half of the entire Baiyu Dynasty is not under the control of the dynasty at all? No, my teacher Zeng Tai said that the Baiyu Dynasty also has big families and princes from various places, and their power can encompass their respective borders. In the land of one state, doesn’t it mean that most of the entire White Jade Dynasty is not under the control of the White Jade Dynasty?”
In Wang Xing's two lifetime memories, the dynasty was a high-ranking entity that controlled everything. After hearing what my father said today, I felt an indescribable strange feeling.
Is this the original unshakable dynasty's control over various places? Even if the dynasty is like this, is the city lord and magistrate Cen who are right next to him more terrifying than the majestic White Jade Dynasty?
The fear that had been rooted in Wang Xing's heart for two lifetimes was beginning to crack unknowingly.
Wang Yunfei sighed and said: "Yes, that's why I felt so uneasy after hearing about the chaos in the south and half of the state being overturned. The chaos in the south was probably caused by the border family's dissatisfaction with the dynasty. But I have more details. I just don’t know, I can’t even think of it.”
Wang Xing licked his dry lips, suppressed the thoughts in his heart and comforted: "Those who are too far away from us, do you think County Magistrate Cen can defeat the city lord? Speaking of which, what are they fighting for?"
"Oh, yes, let's not talk about that." Wang Yunfei retracted his dazed eyes, "I don't know what County Magistrate Cen wants specifically. But he promoted our families to fight with the city lord's men in Quan'an City, and now The most powerful ones now are our eight alliances."
Wang Xing patiently listened to his father slowly recalling, getting closer to the truth little by little.
"Although Magistrate Cen allowed us to develop business, he did not allow our respective relatives to enter the city in large numbers. These strong men around us were brought into the city this time in the name of escorting important figures from various branches.'
"Now Magistrate Cen is taking over the city defense. He once allowed us to do business but did not develop force. Before, he directly threatened to take away the last masters who appeared. I suspect that Magistrate Cen wants to drive the three city owners out of Quan'an City and let us There is no way to resist him.”
While talking, there was a commotion outside.
Wang Xing and Wang Yunfei put down their chopsticks and looked to the side. There was a middle-aged man on the wall being pulled up in a basket. After landing, after asking for advice, he happened to be looking at Wang Xing and the others.
This man rushed over quickly and drove away the tribesmen who wanted to watch the fun.
The middle-aged man wiped his sweat with his sleeve, wiped his gray beard and whispered: "Master, the exact news is that in the early hours of this morning, Danyangzi and the concentration master of the city lord's family had a decisive battle in front of the city lord's house, and Danyangzi won. .”
"Then what?" Wang Yunfei asked hurriedly.
"The city lord and several big families hurriedly packed up and left. The city lord sent people to intercept them on the way. The clansmen and servants of the three families of the city lord suffered heavy casualties. There were more than 300 corpses on the street. In the end, only a dozen people were left and fled to the east city gate. The city defense army Someone inside opened the door for them, these people have already escaped from Quan'an City and headed towards the private city of the three city lords!"
After saying this in one breath, the middle-aged man took a few deep breaths and swallowed when he saw tea on the table.
Wang Yunfei immediately brought it over and asked the other party to drink some water to calm down his shock.
Touching the mustache on his chin, Wang Yunfei looked shocked and horrified, and thoughts were rolling in his heart.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was about the same. He cupped his hands and left.
Wang Xing waited patiently for his father to digest the news.
After a while, Wang Yunfei said: "Okay, how about you run away?"
Wang Xing was startled, then smiled and said: "Father, you let me stay when it was so dangerous before, why do you suddenly let me leave now?"
"That was my father's mistake. When you were knocked unconscious before, you thought that the city lord was killed by County Magistrate Cen's men, so you should have some mercy. But this time Magistrate Cen killed so many people in the city lord's family, and his men The city defense team that we relied on released people from the three families of the city lord. This matter is too big. The city lord will definitely take revenge. You don’t know, but the several big families behind the three families of the city lord are the masters of the surrounding areas. They will definitely send more experts, saying Maybe it’s stronger than calming one’s mind!”
Wang Yunfei had been so shocked by these news and speculations that he remained calm and kept whispering his thoughts. Normally, business is conducted in a tense manner, but occasionally there are disputes between families, and it's just a dozen or so people fighting and killing each other.
But now the city lord has transferred a large number of masters from the eight alliances to join forces and openly kill the city lord's clan members. This kind of thing is no longer something that a second-rate family like them can get involved in.
Seeing that his father had lost his mind and was talking nonsense in a panic, Wang Xing put his hand firmly on his father's trembling arm and held it tightly.
"Father, don't panic!"
Wang Xing said calmly: "The matter is not at the last step yet. Let's not mention that the city gate is now blocked, we may not be able to get out. If we want to go out, what is the city defense strength? How many people do we need to force out? And this matter is not just We are one family and eight alliances, and all of them have a role to play, so you might as well contact them and think about your options."
Although Wang Xing's calm voice and clear words did not tell the result, the panicked Wang Yunfei said so after passing by. It also gradually slowed down.
The reason why they are nervous is because they know that if the forces behind them break out, they will not feel comfortable. Now that Wang Xing had sorted out his thoughts, Wang Yunfei had overcome his initial panic and regained some composure.
"Oh, I made you laugh." Wang Yunfei didn't expect to be comforted by Wang Xing, his son who studied hard and had no training and training, and felt a little ashamed for a moment.
"Anyway, the pressure is all on you. It's already pretty good if you didn't break down and yell and throw things around." Wang Xing smiled. Suddenly, he remembered the carjacking in his previous life. Because there was a problem with the intelligence, the captain in charge of their team became panicked, incompetent and furious, and started to get angry indiscriminately.
There was something wrong with the intelligence at first, so we had to take action in advance. At that time, Wang Xing could only watch and go with the flow.
But this time...
Seeing his father calm down and thinking about the problem seriously, Wang Xing no longer hesitated and chose to speak out the excuse he had thought of before at this time.
"Father, I have something very important that I have to say now."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Wang Yunfei motioned to Wang Xing to just say it. At this time, no matter how big the matter is, it is still a trivial matter.
Wang Xing paused and said slowly but carefully: "When I was studying in my ancestral home, a mysterious man actually came to me and said that I was born with divine power and that I could become his teacher. However, I was a little hesitant and didn't know his energy at the time. So I didn’t agree at the first time.”
"Huh?" Wang Yunfei vaguely felt something.
"Just yesterday, I felt the energy of this master." Wang Xing pointed to the sword-wielding guards standing guard outside the door and said, "Previously, when I was resting and practicing in the house, these four people appeared silently. My room. And after I slept last night, six more people showed up in my room. Before and after, there were already ten people."
Wang Yunfei frowned suddenly, and then realized that because of his nervousness, he forgot to ask Wang Xing about the origins of these sword-wielding guards. Wang Yunfei couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that their strength..."
"No, they are not strong. They have just endured many years of hard training in swordsmanship, have not practiced martial arts, and have not developed Qi and blood in their bodies." Wang Xing said, "But precisely because they are not much stronger than ordinary people, they silently bypassed my uncle's arrangements. Even a dead soldier can sneak into Blackwood Hall, I realize how powerful this teacher is."
"Take you in? When did it happen?" Wang Yunfei was stunned.
"Just last night, when I was thinking hard about the way out for my family, he appeared again, so I hope to use external help to help the family overcome this difficulty." Wang Xing said.
"Oh! So..."
"No, Master, he didn't agree. Although I am born with divine power, the world is so big that there is no shortage of disciples like me who are born with divine power. In the past, the family was fine, so Master, of course he didn't mind accepting me. But now the family is in trouble, I want to become a disciple, and I need to prove my abilities in order to get more.”
Wang Xing stood up and said: "Father, these ten sword guards will stay with you to protect you. I will follow the master to learn skills in the courtyard. I hope you will have people vacate several courtyards around my courtyard. In the next few days , there will be a large number of people present, please help prepare food for at least 500 people to last for several days."
Wang Yunfei was shocked by Wang Xing's sudden words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How come you don't show your natural supernatural powers on weekdays..." Wang Yunfei wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Xing.
"Father, what do you think of this cup?"
Wang Xing held a white porcelain wine cup in his hand, and before Wang Yunfei could speak, his palm closed suddenly.
Click! Crunch~
As Wang Xing rubbed his hands vigorously, the wine cup was crushed by the force and gradually ground into powder.
Wang Xing said calmly: "These things are too fragile for me. I need to be careful to keep the power away every day, otherwise I accidentally touch others..."
Wang Xing turned around, and his arm seemed to draw a phantom.
Two dull collision sounds passed by in a flash. When Wang Yunfei was still a little confused, as the powder from the wine cup in Wang Xing's hand was blown away by the wind, Wang Yunfei saw the black stone brick wall on the side of the door frame where Wang Xing walked out. The hole as thin as two fingers has been opened from the inside out.
"Such a hard black stone!" Wang Yunfei's eyes widened. He stepped forward, touched the extremely tough black stone brick wall, and stretched out his fingers, which were holes as thin as human fingers.
Wang Yunfei felt incredible that he could break through the black stone so easily. It must not be easy to do this with all his strength!
Looking at Wang Xing's back again, Wang Yunfei watched as Wang Xing easily lifted the door latch that only three people could lift with force and walked out of the Black Wood Hall.
Wang Yunfei saw that each of the strong men in armor who were wrapped in dense iron sheets appeared silently without being noticed by the family members on the stone fort wall. They followed Wang Xing one by one and escorted Wang Xing away with a steady pace.
