Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 1658: Collaboration with foreign enemies
The commander-in-chief Wang Xiao, who was about to walk to the door, had already slowly stretched out his hand. Just before he touched the door, his hand froze in the air.
A trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. After a moment, his expression was slightly relaxed, and Wang Xiao turned to look at Wang Zheng at the same time. The resentment in Wang Zheng's eyes had been restrained, but the look of surprise was not fake at all.
"Second brother, you have been running around for the family for these years. Although the third brother and I didn't say much, we know it very well. Just before you were transferred here, the third brother and I had jointly written a letter to the head of the family, asking the family to allow you to follow Chu Nan to learn the method of refining medicine. As long as you pass this hurdle, the family should transfer you back to the imperial capital."
Wang Xiao said in a gentle tone, and the anger on his face had long disappeared. The surprise in Wang Zheng's eyes was gradually replaced by complexity, and his face was also blue and white.
"Ah," Wang Xiao sighed softly and continued, "Over the years, the three of us brothers have been apart for more than a year. The third brother can still see each other occasionally, but since you have been busy, we brothers have not seen each other for almost ten years.
I don't know what happened, but this time I saw you and you seemed to have changed a lot compared to the past. When we were in the imperial capital, you were thoughtful and steady, but now you seem very impetuous and don't care about the consequences when you speak.
You should be able to see that Su Jian also has his own difficulties, and he is obviously sincere about cooperation, but you either strongly advocate taking action against the Guihua family or show suspicion of the Su family everywhere... You would not be like this before!"
Although there was accusation in Wang Xiao's words, there were more regrets and contradictory emotions. Wang Zheng listened to the other party in a daze, but the expression on his face became more and more ugly, and there was a faint trace of guilt in his eyes.
"Forget it, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have given you face in front of outsiders. Now we are alone behind closed doors. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. No matter what happens, we brothers will handle it together." The flesh on his cheeks trembled quickly, and Wang Zheng forced a smile and said dryly: "Brother, I am also... I have nowhere to vent my sorrow!" As if he had an idea, Wang Zheng continued to say: "It's because the third brother died too tragically. If the third brother hadn't saved me at that time, he would never have died in the hands of those bastards of the Huagui family. I really can't swallow this breath!" At the end, Wang Zheng even slapped the table and stood up, his fists clenched tightly, and his joints turned white because of too much force. Wang Xiao looked at the other party deeply, then shook his head helplessly and said: "With our current strength, it is difficult to die with the other party, let alone help the third brother to avenge. You should be patient. The third brother's revenge must be avenged, but the family affairs cannot be ignored."
Looking at Wang Zheng, the commander-in-chief Wang Xiao deliberately raised his voice a few times and said: "Now the Wang family needs to join forces with the Su family, and Kuocheng also needs us to join forces. I hope you... can help me."
After a short daze, Wang Zheng suddenly straightened his chest and clasped his fists in front of his chest, and said solemnly: "If the eldest brother has an order, I, Wang Zheng, will never say a word. I was emotional before, but now I have heard the eldest brother's words as a wake-up call, and I will never act recklessly again."
Nodding, Wang Xiao didn't say anything more, turned around, pushed open the door behind him and walked out. I don't know if it was blown by the wind or Wang Xiao used a little hidden power, the door closed immediately.
Wang Xiao had been gone for a while, but Wang Zheng had been standing there in the same position as before, with a faint trace of sweat on his cheek.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Zheng's legs suddenly softened and he fell back into the chair. He exhaled a long breath and muttered unconsciously, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so long, the boss has become so sharp. Back then, he was only slightly higher than me and the third brother in terms of cultivation, and his mind and wisdom were mediocre. I didn't expect that he has become so sharp now."
"Hehe, the second commander doesn't know that in recent years, Kuocheng and the surrounding areas have been peaceful on the surface, but the various families have never stopped fighting. As the most powerful person in the southern region of the Wang family, he has certainly experienced a lot in these years, and some changes are also very common."
Very abruptly, a sinister voice slowly sounded. In such an empty room where Wang Zheng was the only one, another voice suddenly came out. Anyone who heard it would be scared.
But Wang Zheng was only slightly tense when the voice sounded, and then he completely relaxed. Although he knew that the other party would not show up and he could not lock his specific location, Wang Zheng still searched the room.
"I don't know when Deputy Envoy Jie came, and whether he heard what my brother said to me just now. He seems... seems to doubt me." Wang Zheng withdrew his gaze with some disappointment, and said to the air in front of him as if talking to himself.
"Hey, what's wrong, do you regret it?" The voice sounded again, but Wang Zheng could vaguely feel that the voice seemed to be closer to him.
"It seems that I guessed right. The cooperation between us is based on your will. If you don't want to now, you can terminate it at any time. We won't force you."
The owner of the voice said with a somewhat teasing tone when he found that Wang Zheng was silent. After hearing the other party's words, Wang Zheng's body shook slightly, as if he remembered something, and spoke hurriedly.
"Don't say that, Mr. Deputy Envoy. The Wang family has no meaning to me. Since I have decided to serve you and Mr. Yue, I will never regret it. Please don't make such jokes again."
When Wang Zheng spoke, there was no hesitation in his eyes, but a hint of fear and awe.
"Hehe, don't be so nervous. I was just joking. Since you helped us design the Su and Wang families together with the painter, we have been inseparable. You will understand this matter without me saying more.
I am not here to urge your Wang and Su families to join forces. It is normal for them not to act rashly at this time. I am here to ask you, in addition to the ghost painting and the Su Wang families, which other forces in Kuocheng have the strength to compete with you."
"Equal to our strength? Could it be that group of people..." Wang Zheng thought for a while and said uncertainly.
"Who is it?" The voice urged anxiously.
Wang Zheng did not hide anything and immediately explained: "The previous action against the Su Wang family was not only because the sudden appearance of the medicine man Zuo Feng ruined the good thing, but also because there was another group of forces secretly attacking, that is, the group of people who ambushed and started a melee outside the painting house."
"Who are they?" The deputy envoy Jie, who was hiding in the dark, asked impatiently.
Shaking his head, Wang Zheng said helplessly: "It's not that I'm hiding something from you. Before the battle with the painter, the Su Wang family didn't notice this group of people at all, just like the medicine man, as if they suddenly appeared."
He wanted to say, 'These people are just like you, sneaking around without anyone noticing, and no one can figure out their details. ' But Wang Zheng didn't dare to really offend the person in front of him, so he only dared to think about these words in his heart.
"Is there no clue at all?" The sinister voice sounded again, asking with some reluctance.
Wang Zheng still shook his head and said, "It can be said that there is no clue at all now, and I think not only our Wang family, but also their Su family should have no clue. But..."
"But what?"
"But that Yaozi who suddenly appeared seemed to be very interested in those people, and personally made a plan to investigate. But even the Su family didn't know the specific plan, and our Wang family was only told to cooperate at the city gate and several locations in the city."
"Yaozi... Zuo Feng, what kind of person is he?" The deputy envoy of Jie pondered for a while, and suddenly changed the subject and asked about Zuo Feng's situation.
Wang Zheng said helplessly: "You also know that I have been active outside these years. Most of the things that happened in Xuanwu Imperial Capital were heard from everywhere. I have not even met that Yaozi.
Now I only know that the Yaozi Master did not come alone. There are three people around him, two strong men at the level of Sensing Qi, and a strong man who is not as good as him in receiving Qi."
"Oh, what are the names of the two strong men at the Sensing Qi level, what are their characteristics, and what have they been doing these two days?"
Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Only Su Jian knows their names. One often Dressed as a scholar, about thirty years old. The other woman is from the prairie, and should be easy to identify. She seems to be less than thirty years old. I have only met them once.
They acted very secretly. They completely ignored our requests and seemed to only care about the plan made by the medicine man. Alas, if the other party had direct contact with our Wang family, we could get more information, but now I can't do anything. "
After Wang Zheng finished speaking, the whole room immediately became quiet. The person lurking in the dark did not speak, and Wang Zheng could only wait quietly. The atmosphere became very weird for a while.
Just when Wang Zheng thought that the other party had left, the voice in the dark suddenly said: "Focus on the mysterious force for the time being. If the Su Wang family can fight against it directly, it would be the best.
Also, it is better to pay more attention to that Yaozi Zuo Feng. His coming to Kuocheng at this time always gives people a bad feeling. Fortunately, there are only four of them, so they can't cause any trouble, and it is not a problem to deal with them."
After a slight pause, the man said with a smile: "Second Commander, you have worked hard. You will have to take care of the things in the future."
Wang Zheng hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "It's all what we should do."
The answer to Wang Zheng was silence. After waiting for about half a minute, Wang Zheng let out a long breath, as if he was under great pressure and his body couldn't bear it. He fell back into the chair dejectedly, and the whole person looked even more depressed than when Wang Xiao left.
