"come in!"
After opening the door, Wang Yue immediately motioned for the strong man in black to enter the room.
After entering the room, Wang Yue sat back at the desk and asked the strong man, "What's the matter?"
The strong man said with a panic look on his face: "Master, Captain Wang Hong was killed on the way to hunt down the remnants of the Xiao family."
"What?!"
Hearing the strong man's words, Wang Yue's eyes suddenly widened.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Wang Yue immediately stood up, looked at the strong man, and asked, "Who did it?"
As far as he knew, all the masters of the Xiao family had been killed, and it was impossible for anyone to be able to kill a warrior of Wang Hong's level.
The strong man in black shook his head and said: "I don't know either. This person's methods are very cruel. Captain Wang Hong's head was blown open, and the bodies of other brothers were also burned until they were bloody."
Wang Yue frowned slightly and asked again: "Do you know the direction in which the remnants of the Xiao family fled?"
The strong man replied: "I'm reporting to the master, they seem to be heading north!"
"north?"
There are three towns in the north of Yanmen City, namely Ningyang City, Yanshan City and Shuanghe City. In these three towns, the power of the Xiao family exists. The remnants of the Xiao family fled to any one of these three towns. It's possible.
After thinking briefly, Wang Yue immediately ordered the strong man: "Quickly inform the stewards of Ningyang, Yanshan, and Shuanghe, and ask them to search for the whereabouts of the remaining members of the Xiao family. Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
The strong man in black responded and then left the room.
"etc!"
Just as the strong man was about to leave, Wang Yue suddenly stopped him.
"Where's the thing I asked you to find?"
Hearing Wang Yue's inquiry, the strong man also looked ashamed and said: "Master, we searched the entire Xiao family, but we couldn't find what you mentioned."
"You've searched the entire Xiao family and can't find it?"
Wang Yue couldn't help but frowned after hearing the strong man's words.
Could it be that this elixir is in the hands of the few remnants of the Xiao family who escaped?
…
Dongyan County, Ningyang City.
Ningyang City is located in the northeast of Dongyan County. It is not large in scale. However, because it is close to Dongchu, many traveling merchants pass through here and travel between the two countries. Therefore, Ningyang City's business is quite prosperous.
It was evening. Lin Yu, Bai Jing and the others had been traveling all day and finally arrived at Ningyang City before dark.
Lin Yu and his party were walking on the bustling main street of Ningyang City. Pedestrians were coming and going on the roadside, constantly shuttling in and out of various shops.
After walking a certain distance in the city, Lin Yu also asked Bai Jing: "Miss Bai, how far is the place you mentioned?"
Bai Jing looked at the surrounding environment and said, "We're almost there."
Since Bai Jing said this, Lin Yu continued to move forward with her.
The brother and sister Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue'er were neither noisy nor fussy. They followed Bai Jing very obediently and were completely uninterested in the various novelty gadgets on the street.
"Master Lin, we are here!"
Not long after, Lin Yu and the others came to the door of a rather grand shop.
After hearing Bai Jing's words, Lin Yu looked up and saw the four gilded characters "Chang Yun Trading Company" written on the plaque of the shop.
Bai Jing explained to Lin Yu: "This business is the property of our Xiao family, and it is also our Xiao family's stronghold in Ningyang City."
With just one stronghold being so impressive, Lin Yu could tell that the "Xiao Family" that Bai Jing was talking about was probably quite large.
However, it is sad that such a family could be wiped out so easily.
Bai Jing suggested again: "Let's go in!"
"Yeah!" Lin Yu nodded.
Immediately, Lin Yu walked into the business together with Bai Jing and the others.
At this moment, in the business store, there were several luxurious people wearing silk and satin, selecting goods in the store, while a waiter on the side was introducing product information to everyone.
"How many guests are here to purchase goods?"
Seeing Lin Yu and his party coming in, a waiter immediately came to greet them warmly.
"Take us to see your shopkeeper!"
Bai Jing did not reply, but directly took out a token. On the token was a huge "Xiao" character.
"It turns out they are distinguished guests from home. Please come in, please!"
Seeing the token in Bai Jing's hand, the guy was also stunned, and then immediately led Lin Yu and the others into the back room.
In a luxurious room in the back room, a middle-aged man with a long beard was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, while a thin man beside him was carefully counting the accounts.
"Two shopkeepers, a distinguished guest from your family has arrived!"
At this moment, the waiter's announcement came from outside the house, and then the door was opened, and Lin Yu and his party entered the house under the leadership of the waiter.
"You are?"
Seeing the four men and women coming in, the two men in the room were also surprised.
When they saw Xiao Yun next to Bai Jing, the surprise on their faces became even more obvious. It was obvious that they had seen Xiao Yun.
Soon, the bearded man calmed down and ordered the waiter: "Xiao Liu, go out first!"
"yes!"
After hearing the long-bearded man's instructions, the guy nodded, turned and left the room.
After the guy left, the bearded man immediately walked up to Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue'er and bowed respectfully.
"Subordinate Xiao Li, please see the Young Master, Miss!!"
At the same time, the thin man also stepped forward and saluted: "My subordinate Yang Ting, join me, young master, miss!"
These two people are the first and second shopkeepers of Changyun Trading Company.
At this time, Lin Yu also used inspiration to scan the strength of the two of them. The cultivation of these two people was only at the late stage of Xuwu realm, and they were only slightly stronger than Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue'er.
Facing the two salutes, the two children huddled behind Bai Jing and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this scene, Bai Jing quickly said to the two of them: "You two shopkeepers don't need to be polite!"
"I wonder who this girl is?"
Looking at the beautiful white-robed woman in front of him, Xiao Li also looked confused.
Bai Jing introduced herself and Lin Yu to the two of them: "Back to the two shopkeepers, I am Bai Jing, Madam's personal maid, and this is Mr. Lin whom we met on the road."
Hearing this, the long-bearded man quickly greeted Bai Jing and Lin Yu and said, "Oh, it turns out it's Miss Bai and Mr. Lin. Nice to meet you!"
Xiao Li felt from the moment Lin Yu entered the door that the black-robed young man in front of him gave him a very unusual feeling, but he could not detect the slightest trace of inner energy from this person.
From this point of view, the opponent is most likely to be a strong person above the True Martial Realm.
At this time, Yang Ting next to Xiao Li was also a little confused and said: "Miss Bai, since the young master and the young lady are coming to our Ningyang City today, why don't you inform us in advance so that we can prepare in advance to welcome you? .”
Hearing Yang Ting's words, Bai Jing pursed her lips, and her handsome face suddenly cast a layer of gloom.
She arranged Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue'er to sit on two seats, and then said: "Actually, this time I brought the young master and the young lady to Ningyang City. Today I brought the young master and the young lady here on the order of the madam. Refuge.”
"Escape?"
After hearing Bai Jing's words, Xiao Li and Yang Ting's faces showed surprise again.
"The two shopkeepers must be mentally prepared for what I'm going to say next." Bai Jing said solemnly.
Seeing Bai Jing's serious look, Xiao Li and the two of them could guess that something big had definitely happened to the Xiao family.
Immediately, Bai Jing also told everyone about the tragedy that happened last night: "The Xiao family was attacked by the Wang family last night. The entire Xiao family was littered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers. More than 200 members of the family were killed, including my wife and everyone in the family. The guards risked their lives so that I could escape with the young master and young lady."
"On the way, we even encountered the Wang family's pursuit. If Mr. Lin hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid the young master and the young lady would have already..."
During the statement, Bai Jing's eyes were red and moist, obviously she was too sad.
After learning this shocking news from Bai Jing, both Xiao Li and Yang Ting had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They couldn't believe that the huge Xiao family was wiped out overnight.
At the same time, they also fell into endless panic.
They knew that after the Wang family got rid of the Xiao family, they would definitely take action against Shang.
From now on, their peaceful life may come to an end.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li also immediately asked Bai Jing: "Miss Bai, what should we do next?"
Bai Jing shook her head and said: "Before, my wife just asked me to escape to Ningyang City. As for the next step, I don't know. I am just a maid. I can't make rash decisions on such important matters related to the family's future." .”
After hearing Bai Jing's words, Xiao Li also began to fall into deep thought.
"well……"
After a brief thought, Xiao Li lamented helplessly and said: "Now that things have developed to this point, it seems that the only option is to escape to Dongchu."
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Yang Ting immediately questioned: "But we are not familiar with the place in Dongchu, so is it really okay to go there so rashly?"
When Xiao Li heard this, he immediately asked: "This is also a hopeless solution. Is it possible that you have other solutions?"
"I……"
When asked by Xiao Li, Yang Ting was immediately speechless.
Then, Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue'er who were standing aside: "Young Master and Miss have traveled a long way to Ningyang City, and they must be a little tired. You go to the guest room at the back to rest for a while, and I will arrange the carriage and horses. , we will set off tonight.”
At this time, the faces of the two children were very tired.
First, their family was wiped out, and then they drove for a day in fear. They had to avoid various pursuits along the way. The two children were under tremendous pressure.
Xiao Li then ordered Yang Ting on the side: "Yang Ting, go and arrange dinner for the young master and a few distinguished guests, and also arrange the affairs in the business house. Give each of the guys twenty taels of silver. Dismissal."
Hearing that Xiao Li was going to dismiss all the guys from the trading firm, Yang Ting was also surprised and said: "Xiao Li, do you really want to do this?"
He had devoted all his efforts to developing this business, and he was really reluctant to give it up like this.
"Somebody come!"
