When he first met Zhou Yang, he was still a minor cultivator in the Kaiyuan realm, and Pu Zheng was already at the pinnacle of Lingtai at that time.
However, things changed as time went by, one year east of the river and one year west of the river, Zhou Yang advanced rapidly, reaching the late stage of Lingtai, and judging from his aura, he was not an ordinary late cultivator. This is really a formidable future!
When Pu Zheng looked back at himself, not only did his cultivation not improve, but he also dropped several realms one after another. He naturally lamented that fate plays tricks on people and God's will is unpredictable.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, I admire you very much." Another young man said, cupping his fists.
This person, whom Zhou Yang knew, was a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect who later surrendered, and his name was Hu Zhiran. The two people sitting next to him were named Ling Bao and Zhong Ming.
Naturally, he knew Lin Cheng who was next to Pu Zheng.
Zhou Yang didn't know Zhong Ming before, but he heard that he had surrendered together with Hu Zhiran and Ling Bao.
"Brother Hu, thank you for your reward. By the way, you guys haven't eaten yet. Senior brother, you and Sister Xing'er will get some food later. Take out the snow turtle and pangolin meat you hid and give it to the brothers." Taste it.”
"You don't have to tell me, I'll get it right now!" Tiehu's face looked a little unnatural. It was really strange how the beast meat he had hidden was discovered by Xiao Yangzi.
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, giving Zhou Yang a rollicking look, meaning you should save some face for your senior brother.
Zhou Yang glanced back, meaning that he wouldn't be willing to take it out if I didn't tell him, this guy is the most delicious.
Pu Zheng and the others were also smiling. These two brothers were really funny.
Just as Tiehu left, the door was pushed open and Li Tong took the lead in entering the room, followed by Xing'er.
As soon as she came in, she looked Sima Ling'er up and down, her face was neither happy nor worried. Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat, what kind of expression did Sister Xing'er have?
"Miss Ling'er, I am Li Xing'er, and I grew up with Little Yangzi. I must have heard that my brother and I were both saved by Little Yangzi, and this life belongs to him. We have already said Blood oath, I will serve him as a slave in this life. You and Xiao Yangzi are a family, and naturally you are also the master of my brother and sister. Master, please accept our brother and sister's worship!"
Xing'er had never said such words in front of others before. Although she told him a few days ago that she wanted to be his and Ling'er's slave, Zhou Yang didn't think so. As he said, he never thought about asking her to be a slave, she will always be his sister Xing'er.
I didn't expect to see Ling'er today and say such words in front of so many people. How could Zhou Yang not change his face?
"Sister Xing'er, you!" Zhou Yang suddenly stood up, but at this moment Ling'er reached out to help Li Xing'er up first.
"That's what Sister Xing'er said. You are Little Yangzi's Sister Xing'er, and you are my Sister Xing'er, forever Sister Xing'er! Don't talk about slaves in the future! We must never do that again, Otherwise, Xiao Yangzi and I will be embarrassed, okay, Sister Xing'er?"
Sima Ling'er looked sincere and had no intention of delaying. Myolie wanted to say something else, but she stopped her with a firm attitude.
Xing'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, and stood up with Ling'er's help.
But Sima Ling'er glanced at Zhou Yang, and the content in her eyes was very rich.
Zhou Yang's body trembled and he felt weak in his heart.
It seems that Lin Cheng's mouth is very unreliable. Ling'er must know something.
But judging from the attitudes of the two women, nothing happened.
However, a woman has a deep heart. He, the eldest lady, seems to be reasonable, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart. And from the moment she entered the house, Ling'er regarded herself as the hostess, and she really had the manners of a lady.
"Bah, bah, bah, dirty!" As soon as the word eldest lady appeared in Zhou Yang's mind, he cursed himself secretly.
Having Ling'er is not enough. He actually has the intention to enjoy the blessings of others. He also talks about the first lady and the second lady. This is a bit too unsatisfactory!
Zhou Yang looked at the two women in a daze.
"No, women are naturally sensitive. Even if Lin Cheng didn't say anything, Ling'er's intelligence would be able to guess something. But she didn't say anything interesting. This young lady must be too open-minded! This is absolutely unreasonable, and just because she doesn’t speak, doesn’t mean she doesn’t mind it.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang's heart beat again.
The two sisters were talking to each other side by side, and Zhou Yang came back to his senses to chat with Pu Zheng and others, but he kept peeking at the two of them from the corner of his eye. Occasionally, he met the eldest lady's eyes, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned away. Over.
After a while, Tiehu cooked a table of delicious dishes.
Tie Hu had already said that he had finished eating the meat of the snow turtle and pangolin leopard, but Zhou Yang knew very well that this greedy senior brother had secretly hidden a lot of it. As expected at this moment, he actually made four dishes out of these two delicacies!
In addition, there are steamed gray carp without eyes, as well as Zhou Yang’s favorite wild venison, plus a few vegetarian dishes. The table is full, red and green, with meat and vegetables, it seems like that , I feel appetizing just by looking at it, and it’s not much worse than the food at Wanshunlou.
After everyone sat around, they began to drink.
Pu Zheng and others tasted a few mouthfuls of animal meat and eyeless gray carp, and praised the delicious food without letting go of their chopsticks.
Ling'er also had a big appetite. After two glasses of wine, her pretty face turned red and her tongue was a little big, but it was still a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat. It was very generous. Tiehu, Li Ting and others were dumbfounded. How could this be? She has the demeanor of a young lady from an aristocratic family!
Xing'er was also smiling like a flower. She looked at Sima Ling'er for a while and Zhou Yang for a while, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
But Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed. Not only did this eldest lady drink a lot, she also toasted frequently and didn't pay attention to her image at all. She would correct this problem in the future. If you become Mrs. Zhou from now on, you must be dignified and steady.
During the banquet, Zhou Yang, Pu Zheng and others drank happily and talked happily, talking about everything.
Pu Zheng told Zhou Yang that it was not easy for them to leave Wanjian Island this time. After Qiangxian came back, he was very different from before. He became suspicious and didn't trust anyone. The only one he trusted was his daughter.
When he first returned to the sect, Qiang Xian stayed at home and ignored the defense of Wanjian Island, leaving everything to the eldest lady Qiang Xia.
Originally, Sima Ling'er wanted to take this opportunity to leave Wanjian Island, but who could have imagined it? Qiang Xian suddenly left the island and announced the implementation of wartime control on Wanjian Island, and his attitude towards Sima Ling'er also changed.
The more serious thing was that he took back the island that was previously given to Ling'er and sent people to defend it. He also strictly ordered her to return to the island within three days, which seemed to be a form of house arrest.
Pu Zheng and other guards saw that things had changed and advocated that Ling'er should leave Wanjian Island immediately. How can Nai Qiangxian have already sent people to block the island, and Sima Ling'er and others have almost become prisoners.
A few days ago, someone suddenly came from the front line of Jinling Island. It was the merchant bank that urged Qiang Xian to immediately lead his elite disciples to support him. The words were very strict. If you don't comply, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Wanjianmen's vitality has been greatly weakened, and they must not offend Tongzhou Trading Company at this time, but if they send troops again, their own strength will be greatly damaged, and Qiangxian will immediately fall into a dilemma.
Only one day later, Tongzhou Trading Company issued three strict orders in a row. If no troops were sent out, Tongzhou Trading Company and Cangshou Palace would directly dispatch troops from Anping City to destroy Wanjianmen first, and then move to Jinling Island.
Tongzhou Trading Company has now taken off its mask and exposed its fangs. If Wanjian Island hesitates even a little, it will be destroyed.
Qiang Xian had no choice but to reap the consequences, holding his nose and sending Xiang Hui to lead eight thousand elites to Jinling Island.
With this incident, Qiangxian no longer cared about Sima Ling'er. A large number of disciples were taken away at once, leaving the main island of Wanjian Island empty of guards, so he evacuated all the disciples from the island where Sima Ling'er was, and all of them shrank back to the main island. , and then they had an opportunity.
However, there were still checkpoints at Wanjian Gate along the way. Too many people would easily arouse suspicion. Sima Ling'er had to lead Pu Zheng and a few others to leave the island in two groups, while the remaining dozen guards stayed there, preparing to wait for another opportunity. Get away.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but secretly fear when he heard this. Without the strict order from Tongzhou Commercial Bank, Qiang Xian might really have put Ling'er under house arrest, and this move must have an ulterior motive.
The more he thought about it, the more horrified Zhou Yang felt. He didn't understand it at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. To the Xuanfu Sect, Sima Ling'er's value should not be low. Based on this, he later thought about it thoroughly.
Sima Ling'er is the enemy of Xuanfu Sect, and Zhou Yuanzheng must want to eradicate it to avoid future troubles. If something unexpected happens to Wanjianmen in the future, Sima Ling'er can be regarded as a very important bargaining chip. With her, Qiangxian can make secret deals with Zhou Yuanzheng, which can be regarded as giving herself a backup plan.
Fortunately, what happened next, and fortunately Ling'er had already planned to leave, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhou Yang sneered in his heart: "Your Wanjian Sect has been severely damaged after the battle at Jinling Island. Now you have sent eight thousand elites. Needless to say, these people will also be cannon fodder. If this is the case, hehe, Wanjian Sect is in danger. Your strong strings are even more dangerous!"
This time, I failed to steal the chicken, but lost the rice instead. He felt that he had taken advantage of Tongzhou Trading Company, but now it seems that Wanjianmen is just a pawn in their hands! Even if you force yourself to have a false elixir realm, it will be in vain. In terms of strength and scheming, you are no match for the big shopkeeper Qing Xuzi.
"Damn it, none of the major sects in Anping City are good at it. In order to achieve their own goals, they will do anything!" Zhou Yang couldn't help cursing secretly.
In fact, this is not just the case in Anping City, but also in the entire monastic world. For the benefit of their sect and personal gains and losses, they did not hesitate to shed blood and lay down millions of corpses.
As long as it benefits yourself, what does the life and death of others matter? Even if the blood surges into the sky, I will watch with cold eyes. Once there is a profit, they pounce on it and take a bite. The slogans about punishing evil and promoting good, and eradicating demons and protecting the law will all be empty slogans by then.
Now the battle of Anping River is entirely for profit. Whether it is the four Anping factions, the two Dingbei factions, or the Yinshan City Lord's Mansion, they must all be out of luck and have their own plans.
The Anping River is thousands of miles away from you. Even if the entire river dries up, it won't hinder them. But now they are all gathered there, and they are still talking about removing the strong and supporting the weak. It's all nonsense. No one will do a losing business.
"In a war of this scale, there might be even greater conflicts of interest." Such a thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Yang's mind.
