Shang Xia came out of the quiet room and was about to walk downstairs when he heard a loud and rough laughter coming from downstairs.
Shang Xia's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he walked quickly downstairs. Sure enough, he saw Shang Quan and a strong man with a curly beard looking at him with a smile.
"Uncle Qi, why are you here?"
The strong man with beard is Chang Sui Yanqi who is beside Shang Xia.
"Young Master!"
Yan Qi said with a smile: "We heard the news of your disappearance in Tongyou City, so the eldest lady sent us to the two realms of war to look for you, but we never thought that the young master Jiren had his own destiny. Not only did he return safely, he also cultivated It has reached a higher level, and we are very happy after hearing the news."
Shang Quan smiled on the side and said: "Xiao Qi also followed the patrol to participate in the search for you and the abducted students, but his luck was obviously not as good as mine, but he participated in the ambush against the Fengyan tribe in the valley."
Shang Xia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Uncle Qi, tell me what happened in that battle. Did Tang Yuan really take action?"
Yan Qi's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "That's right! Moreover, Tang Yuan's cultivation level has reached the third level of Martial Arts Realm. It was precisely because of his sudden attack that a second-level Martial Arts Realm monk from the Fengyan tribe instantly Being hit hard set the tone for the patrol’s victory.”
"However, the martial arts master of the Fengyan tribe is also a ruthless character. After being severely injured, he knew that he would not be able to survive, so he simply started to work hard with the thought of dying together to create opportunities for other companions to break through."
"It was precisely because of this person's self-sacrifice that Tang Yuan threw a trap at the last moment. In the end, another master of martial arts and three or four people broke through and eliminated him."
"Tang Yuan is actually at the third level of Martial Arts Realm!"
Shang Quan couldn't help but frowned and said: "No wonder! No wonder in the first two days when the news of the attack on the convoy and the hijacking of the students came, the patrol's response was slow, and Tang Yuan even refused to show up. Later he thought it was Because Liu Jitang mobilized some of the elite patrolmen, it now seems that this guy was in seclusion at the time to break through to the third level of Wuyijing, otherwise Liu Jitang's attempt to mobilize troops may not go smoothly."
Tang Yuan is not only the patrol supervisor of the Hospital Guard Department, but also Ji Wenlong's number one confidant.
This person's advancement to the third level of Wuyijing will inevitably further expand the power controlled by Ji Wenlong.
The patrol, which was originally criticized for the attack on the convoy and the kidnapping of the students, must also have high morale.
In addition, this valley ambush battle was a great victory, and Tang Yuan's status in Tongyou College will inevitably be further improved.
Although there is Tongyou Academy in Tongyou City who is superior, suppressing and coordinating everything.
However, under Tongyou Academy, the four major families are still fighting openly and covertly, and this competition will even extend to the interior of Tongyou Academy.
Shang Xia glanced at the clan uncle, and one could probably guess that he was weighing the strength comparison between the two families in his mind.
At this time, Yan Qi suddenly said: "However, at the last moment of the breakout that day, someone seemed to take action outside the direction of the Fengyan tribe's breakout. They shot and killed two ordinary patrol members one after another, causing a certain amount of chaos. This Only then did the opponent finally escape smoothly, otherwise at least two Wuji realms would have been left in that battle."
When Shang Xia heard this, the image of the female warrior Yan Ming suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although he didn't know who made the secret move that day, Shang Xia felt that the person might be Yan Ming.
But now is obviously not the time to consider these issues. Shang Xia has more important things in his heart that need to be verified.
"Uncle Qi, was everything fine at home before you came? Is everything normal in Tongyou City?"
Shang Quan's meditation was interrupted, and he looked up at Shang Xia in shock.
Yan Qize was a little confused and thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be anything big going on in the family, right? It's just that after the news of your disappearance came back from the two realms that day, the eldest girl looked a little panicked."
"As for Tongyou City..."
When Yan Qi said this, his tone paused slightly.
"What happened to Tongyou City?" Shang Xia asked quickly.
"Tongyou City is under martial law, but Cangling martial arts cultivators still use it as a reason to provoke disputes in the two realms. Is this an abnormality?"
The entire city of Tongyou City is under martial law, which is really nothing new for the residents of Tongyou City.
Whenever the situation in the two realms becomes tense, Tongyou City usually declares martial law.
I dare not say that it happens three or five times a year, but on average, the whole city is under martial law once or twice a year.
This is because in recent years, warriors from the two worlds have exercised great restraint against each other.
This must be put aside more than ten years ago when the two realms of war were first established. The warriors of the two realms fought in the war realm and blood flowed like rivers.
At that time, Tongyou City actually declared martial law only once a year, but that time the martial law only lasted for a whole year.
Shang Xia looked solemn and continued to ask: "Uncle Qi, after the news of my disappearance was sent back, how many people besides you did the family send to the two realms of war?"
Hearing this, Yan Qi had a complex look of embarrassment and anger on his face, but he was trying to excuse others, saying: "Don't be unhappy, young master. It's not easy for a big girl. At that time, many warriors in the family were sent to other places. In addition, Tongyou City has declared martial law, and the four major families have the responsibility to cooperate with Tongyou Academy to protect Tongyou City, so this manpower..."
Shang Xia's expression became more and more serious, and he waved his hands a little anxiously, saying: "Uncle Qi misunderstood, it's not because of this..."
Shang Quan has been watching from the side since he was interrupted from his meditation.
Yan Qi didn't understand Shang Xia's deep meaning, but Shang Quan saw the clues and said: "Xiao Xia, why do I hear what you mean? It seems to refer to the martial law in Tongyou City, not because of the serious situation in the two realms of war, but more Is there something wrong with Tongyou City?"
"It would be fine if it was just Tongyou City..."
Shang Xia obviously had something to say and didn't want to say more. Instead, he looked at his clan uncle and asked, "Uncle Quan, after so long, is there still no news from Fifth Grandpa?"
Shang Quan was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "I have reported the news that you have something important to report to Uncle Ke in the form of a secret family letter, but Uncle Ke has not yet received any reply."
After a pause, Shang Quan asked carefully, "Xiaoxia, do you know something?"
Shang Xia forced himself to calm down and said: "I did get some bad news, but the authenticity of the news has yet to be confirmed, so I am eager to report it, but..."
Shang Quan nodded to express his understanding, and then said with a wry smile after Shang Xia's words: "But recently, whether it is the senior officials of the college or the people in charge of several big families in Tongyou Peak, they have disappeared. If it hadn't been for the victory of the patrol before, Tang Yuan I just returned to Tongyou Peak, I am afraid that even I would have thought that all the warriors above the martial arts realm in Tongyou Peak have disappeared for no reason."
Shang Xia took a deep breath and said, "There is no other way. It seems that we can only find Tang Yuan."
After saying that, Shang Xia turned to look at Shang Quan and said, "Uncle Quan, can you make arrangements so that I can see Tang Yuan as soon as possible?"
"Leave this to me!"
Shang Quan nodded, and then asked hesitantly: "Xiao Xia, is the matter really serious? Does it have anything to do with our merchant?"
"Life or death!"
Shang Xia's face was gloomy at this time.
Shang Quan's face suddenly turned pale and he said, "I'm going to the patrol hall right now!"
…………
The location of the patrol hall is not on the main peak of Tongyou Peak, but at the foot of the peripheral peaks. It covers an extremely large area and looks more like a horse farm from a distance.
"The patrol hall is built here. Firstly, it is convenient for attack. Secondly, because the area on Tongyou Peak is limited and cannot accommodate so many people."
Because of Shang Xia's urgent request, Shang Quan took him directly to see Tang Yuan, the leader of the patrol hall.
When the uncle and nephew arrived in front of the patrol hall, they were blocked by someone.
"Shang Quan, the big shopkeeper of Xiashanglou, has something important to ask to see Inspector Tang!"
Shang Quan's figure and demeanor are very humble, more like a businessman's expression of being friendly and making money.
However, the guard in front of the hall was not a cold-blooded person. He took Shang Quan's invitation, glanced at Shang Xia next to him, and said with a respectful smile: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Boss, I'll report it right away." .”
Shang Xia whispered from the side: "This Director Tang is quite arrogant."
Shang Quan smiled and replied in a low voice: "Maybe I will be even bigger in the future!"
Shang Xia nodded in understanding. The clan uncle was referring to the Tang manager's cultivation to advance to the third level of martial arts realm.
After a while, the guard who just went in to report came trotted out and said: "You two, the supervisor invites you!"
Shang Quan nodded and walked in, as if he was no stranger to the inside of the Patrol Hall.
While walking through a bluestone path, Shang Xia could also see patrolling cavalry practicing joint attack formations on the racecourse not far away on both sides.
"Shang Xia!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a man and a horse rushed towards him. They stopped suddenly a few feet in front of him, showing their good riding skills.
"What are you doing here?"
Immediately, the knight lifted his mask and stared at Shang Xia with a somewhat unkind look.
"Zhang Jianfei? Have you also entered the Court Guard Department?"
Shang Xia looked at the visitor with some surprise, frowned and said, "I have something to do and need to meet with Director Tang. I don't have time to chat with you now."
After saying that, Shang Xia turned around and left.
"Don't go!"
Zhang Jianfei turned over and dismounted, his toes touched the ground a little, and he was already drifting towards Shang Xia.
Shang Xia suddenly turned around and launched a palm towards Zhang Jianfei who was floating over.
In mid-air, Zhang Jianfei felt an overwhelming and unstoppable potential coming towards him, causing him to flip back involuntarily.
After landing on the ground and staggering for a few steps, Zhang Jianfei finally regained his balance. Zhang Jianfei said with a mix of shock and anger: "You..."
But as soon as he spoke, his expression changed, and there was actually a force coming from the secret.
Zhang Jianfei shouted loudly and used all his energy to fight back.
Unexpectedly, that potential was like spring breeze turning into rain, completely unblocked by the power of his vitality, blowing on him again.
The force seemed gentle, but the moment it acted on him, it caused him to roll backwards and fall to the ground.
Zhang Jianfei tried his best to control his body and wanted to stand up. Unexpectedly, the potential of that palm was wave after wave, causing him to somersault four or five times before squatting on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Jianfei's body was covered in dust and grass clippings, and there were several weeds stuck in his head. He looked very embarrassed.
However, he obviously didn't have the intention to notice this at this time. Zhang Jianfei, who had a dull face, was immersed in the frustration of being defeated by Shang Xia with a casual blow.
At this time, Shang Xia had already turned around and walked forward, but the voice came over: "Since you are also patrolling, didn't Ju Xing tell you that I have advanced to the Wuji realm?"
"Wuji realm, is this the way of hardness and softness, or the way of virtuality and reality?"
Zhang Jianfei spat out these words with a hint of bitterness at first, and then his expression showed a trace of anger: "What a Ju Xing, no wonder he said those weird things to me before, I'm afraid if it wasn't for this bastard, he would have been in the hands of Shang Xia before. I feel frustrated and angry, but I also want to laugh at my jokes!"
