A long night.
The inn was in ruins, with corpses everywhere.
Because someone outside has locked all the energy inside, no matter how big the movement is inside, the people are still unable to notice it.
When it gets dark the next day, they will definitely be shocked.
As for Leng Lingshan's body, no one took it away and it was still left in the inn.
In the Leng family's mansion, Mrs. Sun waited at the door for a long time. She had always been a light sleeper. Her husband quietly got up in the middle of the night and then left the mansion. She had already noticed it. At this time, she was sitting at the door, giving orders to her servants. She has prepared some simple side dishes and is waiting for her husband to come back.
But no one noticed.
There was a strange smile on Mrs. Sun's face, which was intriguing.
The head of the Leng family turned into a stream of light and landed in front of his house, his face gloomy.
The servants hurriedly came up to meet him, handed him a cloak with both hands, lowered his head and said, "Master... Madam is waiting for you at the door."
Patriarch Leng took the cloak in his hand and nodded. After the servant opened the door, he finally smiled when he saw his wife.
At this time, Mrs. Sun had already put away her weird smile, and immediately came to greet you, saying with concern: "It's a bit cold outside tonight, so I asked my servants to stew pear soup and wait for you to come back."
Patriarch Leng took the pear soup and remained silent.
He killed his younger brother with his own hands tonight, but he actually felt uncomfortable.
After all, they have grown up together since childhood. When the family was fighting within the family in the earliest days, his younger brother also stood by his side, and he had some feelings for him.
But of my two younger brothers, one said that he never belonged here, and the other wanted to grab the chair under his butt. It was still a bit chilling to think about it.
Mrs. Sun said: "I also know about the second brother. I will inevitably feel uncomfortable if my brother dies in my own hands, but it would be good to find out the ghost of the second brother as soon as possible."
Patriarch Leng looked at his wife and sighed: "In the end, you are the only one left to me."
Mrs. Sun smiled slightly, put the cloak on Family Master Leng herself, held his hand and walked back into the house.
In the room, Mrs. Sun had lit the Anshen Incense early. After watching Patriarch Leng drink the bowl of pear soup, she walked behind Patriarch Leng and gently rubbed his head.
"I'm a little tired."
Patriarch Leng said suddenly, with a sad look on his face.
"How can you not be tired sitting in this position?"
Mrs. Sun suddenly asked: "There are many people who want to sit in your position. Husband, have you ever thought about giving up this position one day?"
Patriarch Leng smiled sadly.
In order to sit in this position, I have paid a lot of sweat and shed a lot of blood to sit here.
If you want to get out, wouldn't it mean that everything you have done before is in vain.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "Qingchun and Qingxia are still too young. As for the fourth child... he has some qualifications, but his daughter gives me a headache."
The daughter of the fourth child of the Leng family is naturally Gu Xiaotian’s senior sister, Leng Qingqiu.
"In this position, I am very careful every step I take, but people's hearts are always unpredictable."
Suddenly, Patriarch Leng looked back at Mrs. Sun and asked, "Will you betray me?"
Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, her expression stiffened, but she soon put on a smile, "Husband, if I want to betray you, I'm afraid you won't survive today."
Patriarch Leng nodded, patted Mrs. Sun's hand, and slowly exhaled, "I'm overthinking it."
Under the effect of the soothing incense, Patriarch Leng felt sleepy, so he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
After Mrs. Sun settled everything, she did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she left quietly, walked to the steward's room, and knocked on the door gently.
The door was opened quickly, and Lu Shui quickly lowered his head and said "Madam."
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "You go out first. I have something to say to Manager Lu."
Lu Shui nodded in agreement, opened the door and left.
Manager Lu then slowly walked out from behind the curtain, cupped his hands and said, "Madam is here late at night, but what's the important matter?"
Mrs. Sun smiled and said straight to the point: "Why bother pretending in front of me, Lu Zhi?"
Lu Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, his original smiling face instantly dropped, and asked directly: "Madam has probably guessed that I am a ghost, but why didn't you tell the head of the family?"
Mrs. Sun walked towards the memorial tablets of the former stewards in the steward's room. She did not answer Lu Zhi's question directly, but asked, "Among the past stewards of the Leng family, has any one ever thought of betraying the Leng family?"
Lu Zhi shook his head, "The Lu family has served the Leng family for many generations. If they really wanted to betray, someone would have done it long ago."
Mrs. Sun stared at Lu Zhi with burning eyes, "So you want to be the first person?"
Lu Zhipi smiled and said, "There is always someone who wants to set a precedent. Mrs. Lu has been a servant for too long, and I also want to try what it's like to be a master."
Mrs. Sun smiled, reached out and picked up three sticks of incense, and worshiped in front of the coffin.
Afterwards, she put the incense in the incense altar, then turned around and asked, "Do you really think I won't hinder you?"
Lu Zhi looked at Mrs. Sun without saying anything, lost in thought.
Mrs. Sun's identity is not only that of Mrs. Leng's family, but her other identity is even more terrifying.
The eldest princess of the current dynasty.
The Lu family doesn't have to be afraid of the Leng family, because sooner or later they will break up, but the Lu family doesn't want to involve too many people in this war, especially Mrs. Sun.
The head of the Leng family must die in Lu's eyes, and similarly, none of his family members can live.
The weeds are not burned out, but they grow again when the spring breeze blows.
But Mrs. Sun's status as the eldest princess would make Mrs. Lu afraid.
Today they can ask Gu Xiaotian to come and pacify the Leng family in Xishu, then next time, maybe they will pacify the Lu family in Xishu.
However, Mrs. Sun suddenly chuckled twice, stepped forward and patted Lu Zhi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the reason I haven't told him yet is because I want to see Mrs. Lu's attitude."
Lu Zhi frowned and asked doubtfully, "What do you want us to do, madam?"
"Xishu will be handed over to the Lu family, but the Lu family will have to listen to the court in the future, how about it?"
Lu Zhi was shocked.
He asked tremblingly: "Madam...is she also a ghost?"
"I married to Xishu just to help the imperial court get back the last piece of the puzzle."
Mrs. Sun said calmly: "As for whether I am the ghost, you should have the answer in your mind."
Lu Zhi looked at Mrs. Sun. Even though he had been in charge for so many years and could guess what others were thinking by looking at their eyes, he could not see through the woman in front of him at this moment.
"Madam... I need to think about this matter."
Mrs. Sun nodded, "No rush, I'm waiting for good news from Manager Lu."
The sky is slightly bright and the rooster has not yet crowed.
In Jinguan City, people who were going out woke up early. When they passed by the inn, their eyes widened.
After that, word spread, and more and more people gathered in front of the ruined inn.
Yu Huan also rushed here. When he saw the ruins, he was very anxious. He quickly passed through the crowd and rushed into the ruins to search.
After rummaging around, Yu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Gu Xiaotian's body was not found.
Gu Xiaotian had returned to the Education Academy yesterday, and now Leng Lingfeng had jumped on the spot. The students in this education academy, along with the vice president and the teachers, had also been driven out by Leng Lingfeng early.
Soon, officers and soldiers arrived here. After searching here, they found Leng Lingshan's body.
As soon as the news came out, the people immediately went into a panic.
Not long ago, the fifth eldest son of the Leng family just died. How come the second eldest son of the Leng family also died today?
Is it possible that the Leng family is really going to be pacified by the imperial court?
People were panicked for a while.
As for the Leng family, there was no response to Leng Lingshan's death. They only knew that Leng Lingshan's son disappeared as early as today and has never appeared.
In the Education Academy, Gu Xiaotian was meditating in his room.
After yesterday's battle, he felt that the sword intent in his body had improved a lot. At this moment, he had reached a critical moment and was about to take a step forward.
It is actually extremely difficult for a sword cultivator in the world to take another step forward after the sword intention in his body reaches a critical point.
The right time, right place and right people are all indispensable.
But now, Gu Xiaotian has just reached this critical moment. The right time and place are available, and now he only needs people and people.
The sword intention in the body is getting higher and higher, and it will soon touch the critical point again.
At this moment, Gu Xiaotian suddenly remembered what Song Bufan said.
So, he immediately took out the Sword Transformation Pill that he had kept on him. Although he felt a little disgusted in his heart, at this moment, it actually smelled really good.
Without thinking, Gu Xiaotian directly took the Sword Transformation Pill into his mouth.
If you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free!
A white mist rose outside Gu Xiaotian's body, and then Gu Xiaotian felt his heart tighten, as the gate seemed to be slowly opening.
Gu Xiaotian quickly adjusted his breath into meditation and tried his best to make himself more comfortable.
The moment the gate was completely opened, countless sword intentions rushed into the body.
Gu Xiaotian's face turned red and he shouted, and then a bright sword light suddenly rose from behind, breaking through the house and reaching the sky.
Leng Lingfeng was reading in the study. After seeing the bright sword light, he quickly put down his book and rushed to Gu Xiaotian's room.
At the same moment, many people also noticed the sword light.
They have different expressions.
Some smiled, some frowned.
After a long time, Gu Xiaotian slowly exhaled a breath, took off all his soaked clothes, looked at Xu Ji and Leng Lingfeng who were guarding the door, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "What are you looking at? Give it to me." Go find some clothes."
At this time, Yu Huan also arrived at the Education Academy.
She immediately rushed into the academy, and when she saw Empress Gu Xiaotian, she felt relieved, and quickly knelt on the ground, "My subordinate failed in his duty yesterday, please lead me to punish him."
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "That's all, something happened unexpectedly yesterday, so I don't blame Yu Linying."
Yu Huan asked: "My subordinates are too talkative. What happened to the commander last night?"
Only then did Gu Xiaotian tell what happened yesterday, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
After hearing this, Yu Huan nodded repeatedly and quickly asked, "Now that the Leng family has taken action, do they realize that a war is about to begin?"
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while, then looked at Leng Lingfeng and asked, "What do you think?"
Leng Lingfeng smiled and said: "Brother will not let me go so easily. I am afraid that this educational academy will not be able to be saved soon."
Gu Xiaotian took a deep breath and walked slowly to the door of the Yuren Academy. After crossing the threshold, he looked back at the golden plaque with the name "Yuren Academy" written on it, and said loudly: "Pass my order to all the soldiers in the Yulin Camp. , starting from today, entering a state of combat readiness!"
