Chapter 216 Retreat
At this time, Quliu Town was in a state of desolation, and even the shops had been moved away by Wei Yuan. It was impossible to recover in a short period of time. Only a few large houses of the Xu family were still alive in the entire town.
The master swaggered to Xu's house with a few soldiers who followed him, and saw dozens of strong men and domestic warriors clearing the shanties in the nearby area.
The master grabbed a strong man and asked, "What are you doing?"
The strong man's face was full of ferocity, his eyes glared, and he shouted: "Who are you, and why are you dragging your uncle with you?"
This big man was fierce by nature. The master's hand trembled and he let go, then announced his identity.
The strong man heard that he was from the county governor's house, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and said: "There are too many people in the family, so the owner wants to build a few more houses, so he sent me to come and clear the land. Fortunately, there are no personal ones now.
Just set it on fire."
"The strong man can help himself." The master said goodbye to the strong man with a smile, and then walked towards the gate of Xu's house. As he walked a little further, his face immediately darkened. Most of the people in the Western Regions were desperadoes. When the strong man saw
He is the owner of many lives in his hands, so Master feels there is no need to be familiar with him.
In front of the Xu family gate, Master reported his name. After a while, the housekeeper came in a hurry and said: "The master of the house is entertaining guests in the garden. Could you please Master to go and meet us."
The master snorted and said, "Your master has become very arrogant recently. How dare you ask me to come over?"
The housekeeper smiled apologetically and said, "The master of the house has an important guest and he can't get away."
"Okay, let me see who he is and how important he is! Lead the way!"
The master followed the butler through the side hall and to the garden with a sullen face. As soon as he passed the side hall, he was greeted by the fragrant aroma, which immediately aroused the master's greed.
There is not a single merchant in Quliu Town, and there is very little game in the Broken Realm. The master has not even had a bite of fresh meat since he took office with Yuan Qingyan. All the food in the kitchen is dried meat and other military rations.
When I walked out of the side hall, I saw a banquet table set up in the pavilion in the garden. There were already twenty or thirty dishes on the table, and the maids were still serving the dishes in a steady stream.
There were about ten people at the table, and Xu Jingfeng was not sitting in the upright position. The man sitting in the center was wearing a jade-colored mask, and the mask was unusually beautiful. Everyone else in the table was also wearing a mask, and they were all here at the moment.
He looked at the master quietly.
The master's face darkened, he walked over with square steps, and said in a strange tone: "Well, the people outside are having a hard time, and the county governor only has porridge and side dishes for three meals a day. The Xu family leader is living a luxurious life! He is indeed a big family.
, much better than the county governor!"
Xu Jingfeng sat still and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master. Why, the gift I gave last time has been used up, and the county governor is thinking about it again?"
Seeing that Xu Jingfeng didn't stand up at all, the master snorted and said sadly: "I reminded you with good intentions last time, but it seems that the Xu family leader didn't take it to heart. I came here this time to tell the Xu family leader
, it has been several days since the last time I gave you a gift, is it time to express your gratitude again? The head of the Xu family has moved into a new house and is hosting a banquet for guests. He has the nerve to watch the county magistrate make porridge and pickles, while many colleagues in the Yamen are living in hunger and cold.
?”
As the master said, he pulled out a chair, sat down on the table, and then picked up his chopsticks and started grabbing one of the main dishes.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by a masked woman next to him. The man grabbed the chopsticks, broke them into two pieces, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them a few times.
The master was so angry that he was shaking all over and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion! Who is this person? Head of the Xu family, please send someone to capture her!"
The masked woman said coldly: "You want to take me? Are you worthy?"
The master became even more angry, pointed at the woman and shouted: "Okay, okay, when you go to prison, I will see how many tricks you can withstand! By then, everyone in the prison will be your husband! If that's not enough
, you can call the big-headed soldier Bai Lai again!"
The masked man sitting in the center said at this time: "If you want to put someone in jail, there must be a reason, right? Could it be that the reason is to offend you?"
The master sneered: "The magistrate's office needs a reason to put people in jail?"
Xu Jingfeng looked at the man in the center, and when he saw his subtle nod, his face darkened and he made a gesture.
The guards of the Xu Mansion who were hiding in the dark appeared and came behind the master with a fierce look. The accompanying soldiers brought by the master originally wanted to stop him, but were pushed away by the guards, so they wisely hid aside and said nothing.
The two guards were both Taoist monks. They lifted the master up like a chicken and threw him outside the pavilion. Although the master was also a Taoist monk, he was the weakest type of Taoist monk, and the guards who were killed by the Xu family
They cannot be compared.
The master became angry and jumped on his feet: "Xu Jingfeng! You are so brave! What do you mean?"
Xu Jingfeng said coldly: "Did I let you serve? Are you a servant worthy of joining my Xu family's banquet?"
The master's old face turned red and he said angrily: "Okay, okay, just wait for me, the Sheriff won't let you go!"
Xu Jingfeng sneered: "I don't want to go out. I am protected by my Xu family's ancestral spirit in this mansion. If Mr. Yuan dares to come in, I will welcome him at any time. I'm afraid he won't be able to get in!"
The master knew that he had kicked the iron plate today, so he turned around and wanted to leave. At this time, the person in the middle of the table said: "Just let him go like this?"
Xu Jingfeng came to his senses, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Here comes someone, break one of his legs and throw him out of the house!"
"Four points." The man in the middle said calmly.
Xu Jingfeng immediately changed his mind: "All four legs are broken!"
The master screamed like a pig, begging for mercy and threatening. However, the guards of the Xu family were used to running rampant in the Broken Realm, and there was a lot of blood on each hand. Since the master of the family has given the order, let's start.
His hands were unmistakable at all, and he twisted the master's limbs with a loud crack, and crushed several small bones at the same time. The pain made the master scream like a pig.
Not only that, Xu Jingfeng also asked them to break all the limbs of the accompanying soldiers, then carry them all outside the town and throw them into the muddy pond.
After the eyesore was cleared, everyone at the banquet took off their masks and the banquet officially began.
Sitting in the middle is naturally Wei Yuan, and the others are the young masters and ladies from the aristocratic family he brought out this time.
Wei Yuan was worried and couldn't eat too much. The young master and the ladies were very hungry, and they all ate heartlessly. In the past few days, they were almost eating dirt in the realm. There was nothing in Qingmingli
No, the only things they could eat were various kinds of pure grains, or dried meat that was more palatable than grains. They almost forgot what delicious food tasted like.
The cooks in the Xu Mansion are quite good, and the branch house also has a rich inventory of ingredients, with everything you need. Xu Jingfeng is also a good observer now. When he saw everyone's eyes glowing green, he had already quietly ordered the kitchen to add more dishes, and his specialty dishes
Although he reached the top, all the young masters and ladies were full of good impressions of him. At this time, Wei Yuan said: "It seems that our Lord Sheriff's life is not very good. Let's do this, you can do it every now and then."
When setting up a banquet, place it in the main hall so that people outside can see it. You are the head of the family, and you can eat as well as you can."
Then Mr. Yuan must not want to kill me... Xu Jingfeng thought so in his heart and asked: "But there must be a reason for setting up the banquet, right?"
Wei Yuan said: "The reason is not easy to solve? For example, your mood today, for example, you got up late today. If you can't find any, they can take turns to come and eat with you."
Xu Jingfeng immediately knew that this man was planning to anger Yuan Qingyan!
However, Xu Jingfeng was also young and energetic, and he still clearly remembers the scene when Yuan Qingyan chased him away after accepting a gift. It was rare that Wei Yuan instructed him to severely anger Yuan Qingyan, so he naturally wanted to take revenge to the end.
Wei Yuan asked again: "You just said that there are ancestral spirits in the house to protect you?"
Xu Jingfeng said hurriedly: "Originally, only the head of the family knew about this matter, and I didn't know it at first. Later, someone from my family told me after officially appointing me as the head of the family, and then took me through the master recognition ceremony, and then I was qualified to drive
Ancestral spirits, please invite the ancestral spirits to fight if necessary. If you are interested, I will take you to see it."
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look now."
The two of them left the main courtyard and came to the side house. Xu Jingfeng came to a remote courtyard that seemed empty, pushed the door in, bowed deeply to an old tree in the courtyard, and chanted a mantra.
Then he said: "Ancestor, Jingfeng brought friends to see you."
The old tree seemed to be awakened by Xu Jingfeng's spell, and the trunk squirmed, revealing an old face.
Seeing Xu Jingfeng, Laoshu smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, his cultivation has improved, and what's rare is his luck! You kid is very proud of Xu Jingfeng. Where are your friends?"
Wei Yuan walked out from behind Xu Jingfeng, saluted the old tree, and said, "Zhantian Gang Xu Yuan has met our ancestors."
Laoshu finally saw Wei Yuan clearly, and with a thoughtful and doubtful expression, he said: "His surname is also Xu? That's right. He seems to have a bit of eternal aura about him. Is he that lost bloodline? Come on, let's go.
Come closer, let me take a closer look."
Wei Yuan has already sensed that the old tree has a deep cultivation level and is probably in the late stage of Dharma. However, he is in a special state. It seems that the tree body is nourishing the soul of the human race, so his perception is a little slow and his thoughts are also a little slow.
Wei Yuan now has many ways to deal with such old tree spiritual plants. He spread out a little bit of the scent of the laurel fairy branches, and mixed a bit of the scent of the sixth elder of the Xu family that day into it, and then walked to the old tree, and at any time
Prepare to have a long cauldron.
Laoshu looked at Wei Yuan carefully, sniffed hard, and felt a little close and inexplicable awe, saying: "Yes, quite good! With such a talent, you should recognize your ancestors! I am the same as you now,
You take it and go to my house to find the people in the Elders' House. When they see my token, they will naturally make a good arrangement for you. How can a junior like you be separated?"
As the old tree spoke, it shook its branches vigorously, and then dropped a branch into Wei Yuan's hand. There was also a green fruit on the branch, which looked like it had just grown.
"You can eat the fruit, it will be beneficial to your cultivation. Now I... want to take a nap..."
Producing this fruit seemed to consume a lot of energy from the old tree. He slowly closed his eyes, his face disappeared, and he turned into an ancient tree again.
Xu Jingfeng was dumbfounded, and then looked a little weird. He thought to himself that this master's surname was not really Xu, right? If he really had a trace of the blood of the Immortal Ancestor, then the fight between the two sides before would be a bit funny.
Wei Yuan knew what he was thinking, and said coldly: "There is a word, old eyes are dim."
Xu Jingfeng quickly said yes.
Wei Yuan picked off the half-ripe fruit and handed it to Xu Jingfeng, saying: "This fruit has additional benefits for the Xu family's bloodline. Here it is for you."
"Give it to me?" Xu Jingfeng almost didn't catch it.
"Here you go. Now go out for a while." Wei Yuan stared at the side room and pushed Xu Jingfeng out of the courtyard.
Seeing Wei Yuan's solemn expression, Xu Jingfeng didn't ask any more questions. He immediately rushed to the main house after leaving the hospital to call the young masters and ladies from the aristocratic families.
Looking at Wei Yuan's expression, Xu Jingfeng knew that something had come in. Something that could make Wei Yuan feel like he was facing a formidable enemy and that Shu Lao was not even aware of was something he couldn't handle on his own. He had to find help.
Behind the window of the wing, a charming and bright woman in red appeared. She was sitting in front of the window, holding a book in her hand and looking at Wei Yuan.
She was obviously sitting there, but Wei Yuan had an unreal feeling, and Xu Jingfeng didn't see her at all.
The woman in red walked out of the wall and came to Wei Yuan. She looked bright and charming, with a lazy and charming look, but Wei Yuan could not feel any warmth from her body, and there was no feeling of real flesh and blood.
The woman in red suddenly smiled and said: "You can actually see me. I am indeed one of the most outstanding people of the younger generation. I am Haotian Guan Zhu Yuanjin, and I have some differences with your master Fenhai."
It turned out to be the elder of the master's sect. Wei Yuan quickly saluted: "I've met my uncle!"
The woman in red said: "This old tree in the Xu family has some virtues and has been accumulated for hundreds of years. Once it explodes, it will be very powerful. So I came here to watch this old tree closely to prevent him from noticing anything unusual.
Secondly, you can have a way out at the last moment."
The woman in red said it lightly, but being able to give Wei Yuan a way out at the last moment must be earth-shattering.
"Then when is the last moment?" Wei Yuan asked.
The woman in red said: "Maybe it will be tomorrow, maybe it will never come. It depends on how you mess with it."
Wei Yuan felt a little guilty. He felt that if he took the trouble seriously, he might have to run away tonight. But the trouble is not a matter of whether he thinks about it or not, but is related to luck. Wei Yuan did not expect that he would just grab it.
, reincarnated a man who may be the most important genius of the Wu clan in thousands of years.
At this moment, Xu Jingfeng rushed into the yard with a group of people. Before he could see the situation clearly, he shouted: "Who dares to break into my old house? Get my master out quickly, and I will spare your life, otherwise
If so, your soul must be refined with real fire, and it will burn for seven or forty-nine days before you die!"
After the call was over, Xu Jingfeng realized something was wrong and quickly said to Wei Yuan: "Sir, why are you alone here? Where was the monster just now? What does it look like? Has it escaped?"
Wei Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The woman in red stood beside Wei Yuan, quietly watching Xu Jingfeng jump up and down.
