Monarch of Evernight: Jiujiu is not here for trading
bsp;The two guards looked at each other and stepped forward at the same time, blocking the young man behind them. They are indeed loyal to their family and will fight to the death even though they know they are outmatched.
It is a pity that although their strength far exceeds that of other guards, like the old man, they have no power to fight back in front of Qianye. As the waves of the sea sounded again, the incomparable weight of the sea fell. They only had time to let out a scream before they were crushed until their bones shattered and they fell to the ground dead.
The young master finally collapsed.
Qianye knelt down in front of him, patted his face with a blood-sucking blade, and asked: "As the young master of the Tian family, why are you here?"
How could this young man dare to hide it? He hurriedly said: "I got the news that Dark Fire has been disabled, leaving only an empty frame. The caravan that robbed Dark Fire was easy and rich, I...I I just want to be a big one and show the uncles at home that I, Tian Pengju, am the perfect candidate for the head of the family. Those people’s efforts to promote my eldest brother to the top are completely in vain!"
"So, who spread the news?"
"The news was revealed to me by a man named Old Cat. His information is always accurate and he often hangs out in the Journey Tavern. This **** old cat even took five hundred gold coins from me. When I go back, he will definitely I won’t let him go!”
"You don't have to worry about that." Qianye said calmly. The blood-sucking blade flashed and pierced into his chest.
At the moment of life and death, the young man burst out with unimaginable potential. He actually grabbed Qianye's wrist and shouted: "Don't kill me, I, I can serve you, I will listen to you in everything. You Once I become the head of the family, everything in the Tian family will be ours, no, no, it will be yours!"
"The Tian family's supplies are too little." Qianye used a little more force to crush all his resistance, and the blade of the blood-sucking blade pierced his heart.
Qianye quickly sheathed the knife, because his life ended too quickly, and because he was extremely nervous before death, the young man still maintained his kneeling posture, never falling, and turned into a landscape in the wilderness.
Qianye got up, ran back to the convoy, jumped on the lead car, and said: "Let's go."
The deacon asked cautiously: "Sir, is your opponent very tough this time?"
Qianye said calmly: "Okay, it seems to be some young master from the Tian family. He has been killed by me."
"Young Master Tian? Is he the one named Tian Pengju?"
"It seems so, I don't remember clearly either."
The deacon had a crying face and said, "Did your Excellency destroy the body and eliminate all traces?"
"I don't have the time."
The deacon said repeatedly: "Well, what should we do? The Tian family is quite powerful in Guanlan City, so we may be in trouble during this trip."
Qianye finally looked at him and said, "Why, are you scared?"
The deacon shuddered and said: "What are you talking about? There is no reason to be afraid when you are with the adults!"
Qianye said: "It's okay if you're not afraid. If you are, you don't have to go with the caravan next time."
The deacon nodded and bowed, and said hurriedly: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid!"
Qianye closed his eyes and said nothing, gesturing for the convoy to move forward. The deacon got off the lead car and returned to his own car. After recovering from his shock, he whispered to himself: "It's not up to you to decide whether I, Qiao Liang, will go with the caravan! Humph, who do you think you are? You want to control me?" Is it about Rongcheng Trading Company?"
What he didn’t know was that Qianye’s eyes were closed tightly, but his ears were moving slightly, and he had already received his words in his ears.
After the Tian family’s hunting team was wiped out, the mercenary hunters in the wilderness seemed to smell the danger and all disappeared. In the end, there were no obstacles on this journey, and we arrived at Guanlan City without any hindrance.
Before the caravan entered the city, they saw Xue Wu waiting outside the city gate. When he saw Qianye, he bowed first and said: "The Xue family has been waiting here for a long time." Then he jumped on the lead car and said to Qianye: "It is truly a blessing to see you again, sir."
Qianye nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after entering the city."
With Xue Wu coming forward, the caravan will naturally move forward unimpeded. On the way, Xue Wu said: "Sir, the elders and heads of each family are already waiting. Would you like to rest first or go over now?"
"No need to rest, just do it now."
Xue Wu immediately turned the lead car and drove towards the city center, while the other vehicles drove to the inn as planned. After a while, the first car stopped in front of an antique and uniquely decorated teahouse. Xue Wudang led the way, leading Qianye up to the top floor and into the quiet and elegant quiet room.
There were five or six old men in the room, with different expressions. Some were excited, some were doubtful, and some were vaguely hostile.
Qianye glanced around and said, "Have all the families in the city arrived? The number seems a bit small, right?"
Xue Wu lowered his voice and said: "A few of them had something to do and were unable to arrive. Please forgive me."
Qianye said calmly: "What's the big deal that affects the survival of the family? Since they don't want to come, they are seeking death. It's okay if they don't come."
At that moment, an old man with a red face became angry. He slammed the table hard and shouted: "Sir Qianye, there is something wrong with these words!"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"I would like to know, our family has lived in Guanlan City for hundreds of years. What kind of storms and waves have we not seen? Where does the life and death that the adults talk about come from?"
Qianye didn't answer for now, but sat down in the middle, regardless of the old man's fire-breathing gaze. After sitting down, Qianye asked: "Have these families continued until now?"
"Of course!"
"So, last time I fought in the city, not a single family was wiped out?"
Qianye's question immediately caused the red-faced old man's face to change again and again until it turned purple. There was also a deathly silence in the entire quiet room, which was indescribably awkward.
Qianye’s battle crippled several small vassal families, and now they are just empty names. It will naturally disappear after a while. The reason why their family name is still retained is because it takes time to annex the industry, and it also takes time to coordinate interests. Therefore, it is indeed against one's will to insist that none of Qianye's family has been wiped out. Although these families are small, they have a long history. When it comes to the families in Guanlan City, they cannot be excluded.
Except for the red-faced old man, everyone else also felt embarrassed. Some looked up at the sky, pretending that the matter had nothing to do with them, while others stared at the tea cup in front of them without squinting. Even Xue Wu didn't know how to persuade him.
In the end, it was the elders of the Xue family who came out to smooth things over and said: "The battle that day was really a misunderstanding, and we all paid the price. Never forget the past, and be the guide for the future. Since Master Qianye is here for cooperation, we We should try our best to cooperate and see if there is anything we can do together. In these troubled times, it is wise to work together to strengthen each other and to separate ourselves. ”
As soon as the old man said this, everyone felt relieved and agreed one after another. Even the red-faced old man no longer looked at Qianye.
In fact, apart from conquering Guanlan City in one battle when the Wolf King came to the throne, Qianye dealt the heaviest blow to each family. In terms of losses, the Xue family suffered the most. Previously, the Xue family was extremely powerful and could often resolve problems with just one word. Nowadays, everything must be discussed. Although the nominal leader's status remains unchanged, in fact it is far worse than before the war.
The Xue family took the lead in expressing their attitude, and everyone else agreed, and Xue Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this cooperation is basically done.
However, Qianye said: "It's good to be strong together, but it's not necessarily possible to hurt both if we divide. Elder Xue seems to think too highly of the families in Guanlan City."
Elder Xue was startled at first, and then became furious, but he knew very well that the current strength of Nan Qingcheng's dark fire was beyond what the Xue family could compete with, so he had nowhere to vent his anger. The red-faced old man couldn't bear it anymore and sarcastically said, "Master Qianye may have too high a view of An Huo."
Qianye said calmly: "I was so blocked that the caravans in Tingchao City could not leave the city. Although City Lord Luo could not leave the city, it seems that there is no such person as City Lord Luo in Guanlan City."
The red-faced old man laughed angrily and said, "Do you mean to say that it can block us from leaving the city?"
"What's the difficulty?"
The red-faced old man choked on the spot and stood up, but he didn't know how to attack. If you think about it carefully, with Qianye's stealth and long-range sniping capabilities, anyone caught by him will die. In this case, who dares to leave the city? The big shots in these families all care about their lives.
However, Guanlan City can be entered and exited from all four sides. Qianye can only seal off two sides at the same time, and the other two sides will definitely not be taken into account. Therefore, the idea of sealing the city is also an exaggeration. But what to say? Could it be that if you dare to block the south gate, I will take the north gate? The elders present were not so thick-skinned.
At the moment of the stalemate, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, and a tall old man rushed in. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Where is Qianye? Give me my grandson's life!"
Qianye looked back and looked at the old man coldly. Xue Wu stood up in a hurry, stopped the old man who broke in, and said: "Why are you here, Uncle Tian? Master Qianye is not only a distinguished guest of my Xue family, but also a distinguished guest of Guanlan City. If there is any misunderstanding, you might as well wait until the big thing is over. Sit down and talk slowly."
The implicit meaning of Xue Wu's words was very obvious, but the old man surnamed Tian was so angry that he refused to listen and shouted: "Misunderstanding? Someone saw with their own eyes that my grandson died in the hands of this person. Is this still true?" Misunderstanding?"
Xue Wu frowned. He didn't expect it to be so difficult. He didn't know how to dissuade him. At this time Qianye stood up and said, "Is the person you are talking about named Tian Pengju?"
The old man glared angrily and said, "It's my grandson! Just admit it!"
Qianye sneered, "Why don't you dare to admit it? He led a team to ambush my secret caravan, and he deserved to die. Before I had time to ask your Tian family to question him, you came to the door yourself."
Tian Lao said angrily: "Pengju was just going for a safari in the wilderness, why did he intercept your caravan? Besides, even if he intercepted the wrong caravan, he would not be punished to death. The rules of the East China Sea, even if he intercepted Wrong, my Tian family will pay for the goods, but it can’t harm my grandson’s life!”
Qianye said slowly: "The rules of the East China Sea are not my rules. And my rules are, whoever dares to plot against the dark fire, I will uproot him and leave no one behind. If you don't want to follow me, If you behave according to the rules, let’s meet on the battlefield.”
