The night is deep, unlike the bad weather in Mongguling where there are thunderstorms.
The moon and stars are still sparse in Bailong County tonight, the evening breeze is blowing, and everything is peaceful.
At this moment, there is a secret room in the Wang family's residence in the south of the city.
The head of the Wang family, "Wang Shaoyuan", and his eldest son "Wang Xuan" were sitting there.
At this moment, Wang Xuan was holding a wax pill in his hand. This was an urgent secret message coming from Mangguling.
Crush the wax ball casually, take out a piece of paper and spread it out.
After just one glance, Wang Xuan's brows furrowed and his face became slightly gloomy.
Wang Shaoyuan on the side saw this and said calmly.
"Xuan'er, what went wrong with Chen Yang?"
Wang Xuan responded.
"Back to my father, Chen Yang and the others kidnapped the eldest lady of the Zhou family and successfully introduced Han Feng to Mangguling.
But something unexpected happened inside the ridge, and Han Feng and Zhou Yunmei escaped from control.
Chen Yang and the others chased them all the way, and now they had been chased into a canyon where the Silver Moon Monster Wolf was entrenched.
According to Chen Yang's report, this canyon is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one exit was blocked by him.
Moreover, Han Feng was also hit by his poisonous arrow. If he did not surrender out of the valley, he would surely die in the valley. "
Having said this, Wang Xuan could not help but frown and snorted coldly.
"Huh... Chen Yang, a loser, with a magnificent eight-star cultivation level, and the helpers sent by my Wang family, all made such a mistake to deal with a little Han Feng.
No wonder the Qingyang Gang was destroyed so easily! "
"Xuan'er, why are you so impatient." Wang Shaoyuan waved his hand calmly.
"Father, if Han Feng really doesn't come out of the canyon, he might be eaten by a monster.
As for the treasure Han Xiaotian left to him, wouldn’t we never have a chance again? "
Wang Shaoyuan smiled and shook his head.
"Xuan'er, although you are witty and clever and have great plans, you are still a bit young after all, and you are still too paranoid about some things."
Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard this and said doubtfully.
"Father, what do you mean...?"
"Xuan'er, think about it, let's put aside whether Han Xiaotian left any treasures behind.
Even if there is, as the saying goes, those who are closer to the water, the first to get the moon, the Han family must have more information than us, and the chance of obtaining the treasure will be greater than ours.
If Han Feng is really the only clue to this matter, wouldn't it be safer to kill him so that no one can get the treasure? "
When Wang Xuan heard this, his face showed a look of surprise.
"Thank you, father, for clearing up the confusion. The child has learned a lesson."
Wang Shaoyuan picked up the tea cup next to him, blew away the floating leaves, and took a sip.
"Well, you should know how to handle the rest."
Wang Xuan narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Haier understands that as soon as Han Feng dies, I will send the clan's masters to intercept and kill Chen Yang outside the Manggu Ridge. There will be no trace left."
Wang Shaoyuan nodded with satisfaction and spoke slowly.
"By the way... A few days ago, your second brother got a Five Elements Spirit Fruit at the auction of the Imperial Trading Company, which can restore the Dantian. I am planning to let her marry the second daughter of the Zhou family.
Over the years, Zhou Dafu has tactfully rejected my marriage proposals from the Wang family several times, and even went so far as to recruit Han Feng as an excuse.
This man seems to be greedy and foolish, but in fact his ambition is not small. He lost a daughter this time, which can be regarded as a warning to him.
My marriage proposal from the Wang family is so easy to refuse! "
Having said this, Wang Shaoyuan paused slightly and looked at Wang Xuandao.
"Xuan'er, your task is more difficult. Report according to the sentry.
Last night, Tiannan Academy and Xichuan Governor's Mansion jointly issued a notice.
Summoned "seven prefectures and thirty-six counties" to announce the expansion of Tiannan Academy's enrollment.
Presumably, the messenger will come to Bailong County soon.
You are the well-deserved number one among the younger generation of my Wang family. As a father, you must be qualified to enter Tiannan College! "
Hearing this, Wang Xuan also had a burning look in his eyes and said confidently.
"Father, please rest assured. After looking at the five major families in Bailong County, there are not many who can pose a threat to me. My child will definitely win honor for the Wang family!"
"Well...very good, just let it go this time.
All these years of hard work as a father, no matter the cost, have finally paid off.
Yesterday, the "Murong Family of Donglin Mansion" sent me a message, saying that they would support my Wang family and help you enter Tiannan College. "
…
At the same time, in the county city, the main line of the Han family was stationed.
The Han Elders' Hall held an impromptu meeting overnight.
The meeting was chaired by the great elder Han Mo, and there were thirteen elders including the second elder Han Zhan, the third elder Han Yunshan, the fourth elder Han Yuanhe... and so on.
As well as Han Chen, Han Meng... the main lineage of the family, the younger generation of geniuses participated.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Mo got straight to the point and said loudly.
“The main reason for inviting all the elders to come here overnight is for one thing.
The grand competition of our Han family will be held in ten days’ time. "
As soon as this statement came out, many people in the hall had strange expressions on their faces and couldn't stop talking.
Among them, the third elder, Han Yunshan, directly raised objections.
"Great Elder, isn't the date for the Family Heads' Competition already set in a few months, so why is it suddenly being held in advance?"
Several other elders also echoed.
"Yes, Great Elder, the date has been set, how can we change it at will?"
"This is inappropriate."
Han Mo had obviously expected this situation to occur.
Glancing coldly at the elders who raised objections with Han Yunshan, Han Mo said calmly.
"Last night, Tiannan College and the Governor's Mansion jointly announced that Tiannan College's enrollment expansion is about to begin. Naturally, our Han family cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Therefore, I suggest that the family competition should be brought forward, and the position of head of the family should be determined first, and then all-out efforts be made to compete for the academy quota. What's wrong with that? "
As soon as Han Mo said this, the fourth elder Han Yuanhe immediately echoed.
"What the great elder said is absolutely true. My position as the head of the Han family has been vacant for several years. Now that the family is unstable, how can we compete with the other four families for a place in Tiannan College.
Naturally, the head of the family must be decided early so that we can unite and work together! "
After hearing this, several elders spoke in support.
"Yes, confirming the position of the head of the family is the top priority of the Han family."
"We also support this proposal!"
…
As we watched, the voices of support gradually overwhelmed the voices of opposition.
Han Yunshan frowned and was about to object again.
Unexpectedly, the Great Elder Han Mo suddenly interrupted.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to inform everyone tonight."
After everyone heard this, they suddenly became quiet, and then Han Mo said.
"Just now, the City Lord's Mansion sent someone to report that Han Feng, the head of the branch of the Han family, is now in the Manggu Ridge, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"What……!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Yunshan and others were shocked.
But Han Mo said calmly.
"This is indeed bad news, but I have sent people to search in Mongu Ridge, hoping to rescue Han Feng."
After saying that, Han Mo changed the topic.
“However, no matter what happens, it is more important than trying to get a place in Tiannan College.
I announced that the competition for the head of the Han family will be held in ten days, at which time I, the head of the Han family, will be elected. "
When Han Yunshan heard the news that Han Feng was trapped in Mangguling and did not know whether he was alive or dead, his heart was already in chaos.
He no longer put forward any opinions on Han Mo's resolution, but hurriedly left the venue with several elders.
Seeing this elders meeting, it was over in just a moment.
Han Chen stood at the back of the hall, watching all this with his hands behind his hands.
His eyes flashed and he said to himself.
"Ten days, haha... Han Xin, it seems that the agreement between the two of us has to be brought forward. You still belong to me after all.
It's a pity that the boy died too easily, but he escaped. "
