Chapter 268 Please uncles and aunts act as matchmakers tomorrow (asking for monthly tickets)
Jinguan City.
That afternoon, the city was in an uproar.
The Ninth Mountain General, who fought a stunning battle thousands of miles away, is returning to the city!
As soon as he appeared, he started a killing spree, killing several rebellious Tianguan strongmen, and dozens of Tianguan were also captured.
What’s even more shocking is that a great master of Musashi’s magical powers was also killed on the spot!
The fierce power is overwhelming!
I heard that the cause of all this was that someone bullied the family of a dead soldier from the Ninth Mountain, so Jiu Zhonglang was furious and took action himself.
"Good kill."
"Damn it."
In the streets and alleys, the people applauded. They were the lower class and had the most real feelings. Jinguan City was becoming more and more chaotic. As more and more people poured in, the market was filled with all kinds of people. Their living environment was rapidly deteriorating, more and more horrific things were happening, and the law was collapsing rapidly.
Now, Jinguan City, although prosperous on the surface, is actually a raging fire. Under the influence of demons, people's hearts are as vicious as devils.
There are also some outsiders who, standing on the sidelines, have sensed some of the flavor of this matter.
It was the leader of the Qingsha Gang who made a stupid mistake, and as a result, all the Tianguan masters who rushed to watch the fun suffered the consequences and were implicated.
The thread of the whole incident was not difficult to understand, but the Ninth Mountain General seemed to have been prepared. A clue could be seen from the fact that the four garrisons appeared at the same time. This Ninth Mountain General was obviously trying to establish his authority, make an example of someone and forcefully suppress the chaos that was now showing signs in Jinguan City.
On the contrary, it is a little hard to see that Jiu Zhonglang finally captured all the remaining Tianguan masters, and it is a little forced to vent his anger on them. After all, these people did not participate in the incident in the morning. By doing so, isn't he afraid of arousing public anger and backlash against himself?
"This Ninth Mountain General has captured all the Tianguan masters. Isn't he afraid of arousing public anger? After all, one person cannot support the whole army alone."
"Did this man ever get scared of the projection of the battle that day? Would a hero who fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses on a battlefield full of demons be scared? I have a feeling that this Jiu Zhonglang hopes that those who have buried their heads in the sand will come out and jump up and down. That way, it will be easier to kill them."
"It is difficult to guess what this General Zhonglang is doing. It is not something that people like you and I can casually judge. Do you know what Bafen Mountain is? It is said to be a paradise outside of Shu, where everyone is like a dragon. The great master Musashi who came out of this place can be killed at will."
"We'll take it one step at a time. I feel like something big is going to happen later. Tell your men to be more restrained in their actions recently and not to cause trouble. If you cause trouble and are targeted by this General, I will clean up the mess myself without him having to do anything."
In the north city, near the window of a restaurant, there was a whisper with a solemn tone. Just as it finished, there was a noise coming from outside, getting closer and closer.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves, the rattle of chains, and the noisy voices became clearer and clearer, including cries of fear.
Looking outside, one can see that on the street outside the restaurant, from a distance, groups of soldiers are coming. They are wearing awe-inspiring black armor, and there are no mountain-cutting flags behind them. They are garrison troops.
Behind the soldiers, there were figures dressed in green clothes and black belts, with their hair and crowns cut off and their bodies tied with chains. Some looked like they had lost their parents, some looked terrified, and some were crying.
Crowds of people were surging on both sides of the road. Some were cheering, while others were shouting and cursing, and throwing all kinds of stones and rotten vegetable leaves at these people.
"It's those small fry from the Qing Yi Gang."
"They're finished!"
"It's over!"
In Jinguan City, East City, there is a huge mansion covering dozens of acres, with the words "Xia Family" marked on the plaque on the gate.
There are pavilions with flying eaves, rockery and flowing water inside, and a new scene at every step, and the ground is full of prosperity.
At this time, in the hall of the Xia family, a group of people with solemn expressions were sitting on both sides. In the hall, figures were walking hurriedly in and out, constantly reporting news.
"Second Master, the Qingsha Gang in North City was wiped out by the North City Garrison. The Garrison General personally led the troops. Anyone who resisted was killed on the spot. The rest were taken away and will be executed soon. I heard that the Garrison is tracking down the relatives of the gang leader. It seems that they will be punished together."
"Second Master, the Qing family in Nancheng was broken into by the Garrison Department, and all the concubines of the Qing family were taken away."
"."
One piece of news after another was brought back by the warriors who had been dispersed by the Xia family. Sitting at a seat at the top of the main hall, a middle-aged man with a moustache and wearing a bright yellow robe with cloud patterns and birds embroidered on his shoulders could not help but lean back with his eyes a little dazed when he heard the reports.
"It's over!"
Because the head of the Xia family, who was also his eldest brother, was captured by the Ninth Mountain General himself, and his future was uncertain.
All of this news comes from the forces that have been jumping around quite a lot in the past few days.
Among them, some were beheaded on the spot by the Ninth Mountain General this morning, while others were not present at the time but were visited by the Garrison Department. These people did not dare to resist, fearing that the terrifying lord would come in person, so they could only flee everywhere and were hunted down by the whole city.
There were more than ten forces, some had their homes confiscated, and some were wanted.
The speed of the garrison is terrifying!
In the morning, the Ninth Mountain troops returned to the city, and the Ninth Mountain Lieutenant General took strong action. In the afternoon, the Four City Garrison Department began to seize the entire city.
With the force of thunder, these rising guys were suppressed and defeated with a loud bang!
And at this critical moment, their master was taken away by Jiu Zhonglang. How could they not panic?
Everyone was on pins and needles, fearing that they would suddenly hear the sound of horse hooves outside and be targeted by the garrison.
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. However, these families have many people and a lot of wealth, but who is really clean? There are always some dirty things happening.
Once you are targeted, it will be a disaster!
Although the Xia family has four Tianguan, two Daobing, and two Daozhong, and is quite powerful, and is one of the first-class families in Jinguan City, but that Jiuzhonglang is a person who can kill Musashi with ease!
As this "Second Master" lost his temper, the expressions of the other members of the Xia family also changed, their eyes twitched restlessly, and their buttocks became unsteady on their chairs.
The third wife of the Xia family tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, leaving handprints on the back of the chair, forcibly suppressing her nervousness, her eyes determined,
"Don't panic, second brother. Even though Jiu Zhonglang is extremely powerful now, he has captured my eldest brother and a group of other Tianguan. Almost every one of them has a strong force behind him. Now, we can contact his family and go to Yunding Mountain to ask Jiu Zhonglang to hand them over."
Before he finished speaking, the second master of the Xia family's face changed. He quickly sat up straight, and his eyebrows were furious:
"say no more!"
"Third brother, you want to kill us all,"
"Your idea is very dangerous, don't say it again."
As he spoke, the Second Master of the Xia Family suddenly thought of something, and said to the people sitting below with a serious face:
"You guys must strictly control the people in your own branch rooms and never cause trouble at this critical moment, especially the third and fifth brothers, who are the troublemakers in your family."
He pointed out a few troublemakers in the family. After all, with such a big family and a lot of wealth, there were always a few useless people.
"Remember?"
"Yes, second brother."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a hurried shout was heard outside.
"Second Master, this is bad!"
Then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
This sound made everyone in the hall jump in their hearts and their faces changed drastically.
The heads of several branches of the Xia family immediately stood up from their chairs.
"What's going on? Are there garrison soldiers outside?"
The second master of the Xia family looked extremely anxious. He couldn't help but shake his feet, rushed out of the door, and grabbed a family warrior who usually guarded the gate.
This is the person who is exclaiming that something bad has happened.
Several figures flashed by, and the heads of the other families also looked nervous and rushed out, staring at the family warrior who was shouting.
The warrior trained by the Xia family was startled and trembled a little.
"Say it!"
The second master of the Xia family looked very stern.
"Second Master, Second Master, there are soldiers from the garrison outside." The subordinate said hurriedly with a trembling mouth.
"No, then why are you yelling?" When the leaders of the Xia family heard that it was not this, their hearts, which had risen to their throats, fell. The second master of the Xia family relaxed his brows, and with a roar of anger, he threw the guy to the ground.
The subordinate quickly crawled over at this time, his face was very anxious, "Second Master, I just received news that the Fourth Young Master was in Piao Miao Tower and had a conflict with the garrison troops who were searching for a wanted criminal. He was captured and sent a servant to call for help."
As soon as these words came out,
"what?"
The faces of several leaders of the Xia family changed drastically in an instant.
The second master of the Xia family glared, his face quickly turned red, a surge of blood rushed to his head, and he even staggered.
The "Fourth Young Master" mentioned by his subordinate was actually his second son.
"Second brother!"
Others quickly supported him.
The second master of the Xia family was breathing heavily and was furious.
"Rebellious son, rebellious son, this bastard drank too much and has no brains, I'm going to chop him alive."
It's so infuriating.
His eldest brother was captured, and he was originally afraid that the garrison would target the Xia family and find an excuse. But now, it was his own stupid son who personally handed the knife to the garrison.
Damn!
"If he died in the Garrison, I would not be his son."
Just as the atmosphere became heavy, a woman's voice was heard.
"Uncles, Qing'er is a junior and a woman, so it is not appropriate for me to participate in your conversation. But my father has been captured by that adult, so Qing'er wants to say a few words."
As he finished speaking, a woman wearing a bright red dress, with fiery red lips, a majestic appearance and a hint of strength between her brows, walked up quickly from the corridor at the side of the hall.
She was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and was followed by two maids.
"It's Qing'er!"
The heads of several families did not look down on this young woman when they saw her. She was the second daughter of the eldest family. She was well-read and proficient in martial arts. She was fierce and strong in her style of doing things. She helped the eldest family to manage the family business, and she was doing very well, not inferior to any man.
"Just say whatever you want to say. You are a man of ideas."
Seeing this, Liu Qing opened her eyes and said, "My uncles, I think you are also worried about my father. Qing'er thinks that the most important thing right now is to use the relationship with the Fusi to find out where my father is and to get the opinion of that gentleman."
After these words came out, several uncles frowned. The second master of the Xia family took a breath, waved his hand, and then said: "We have thought about these things. My Xia family has been operating in Jinguan City for so many years, so we naturally have acquaintances in Fusi. However, now, all the people with some weight in Fusi are dead or on the front line. And this lord suddenly appeared. I only saw him at the seal-granting ceremony a month ago. I have no intersection with him at all, so I have no idea where to start."
But at this moment, Xia Qing opened her mouth and uttered two words.
“The Yun family!”
"The Yun family?" Several branches of the Xia family were a little confused when they heard this name.
"Yes, the Yun family of Jinguan City!"
"What did Qing'er say?" After listening, several people nodded and remembered.
A second-rate family in Jinguan City with some reputation.
Liu Qing's eyes sparkled and she said softly:
"The Yun family has a young man named Yun Tiansheng, who is the son of the second branch of the Yun family. He is the captain of the army in the Ninth Mountain. Not long ago, Qing'er remembered that the Demon Suppression Envoy died, which shocked the entire Shu land. The Daofu Division summoned the Shu clans and noble families to go to the front line to fight against the demon army that broke through the gate. It's a pity that the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and many forces did not show up."
"As for the rumors, the Yun family followed the Ninth Mountain to support the front line."
As the eldest daughter of the eldest son spoke, the uncles of the Xia family suddenly understood the news, and then they remembered something and their eyes lit up.
"Yes, I remember now. The Yun family is just a second-rate family, and we haven't paid much attention to this family. But this incident did happen. Maybe we were so anxious about our eldest brother's matter that we lost our minds."
The voice of the third room of the Xia family was raised, and then they looked at Liu Qing with a smile and praised her, "We old guys are not as calm as Qing'er when we encounter problems. It's really embarrassing."
"Also, I know why Qing'er mentioned that young man named Yun Tiansheng! Some of you may have forgotten that the Yun family proposed marriage to Qing'er two years ago. They were talking about this young man. I heard that this man was so impressed by Qing'er at a banquet of aristocratic families that he even boldly sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, but was rejected by Qing'er."
"That's right. He is not the eldest son, and the Yun family is only second-rate. With Qing'er's ambition, how could she possibly look down on him?"
"After all, in the past few years, countless young talents from aristocratic families have pursued our Qing'er, and even the door is almost broken. But our Qing'er is too proud and doesn't like any of them. I don't know who will be so lucky in the future."
The third master of the Xia family became more and more excited as he spoke, and even made a joke.
"Uncle San is joking. Qing'er doesn't have that much ability!"
Xia Qing slightly arched her eyebrows.
"Qing'er, what are you going to do?" The second master of the Xia family returned to the topic.
"Qing'er is here to save her father, so I'd like to ask a few uncles to act as a matchmaker for the Yun family tomorrow." The second daughter of the eldest son spoke softly, her eyebrows trembling slightly, and she seemed a little uneasy.
Hearing this, several uncles' eyebrows moved and they looked at each other.
Obviously, this ambitious niece is ready to sacrifice herself this time.
"Alas, I can only let you suffer!"
