Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

At this moment, there were only two close confidants beside Shopkeeper Meng of the Fortune Merchant Association, and the others, even his subordinates, were arranged further away.

It's not that he has any distrust of others, it's just that he doesn't want to alert others and disrupt this delicate chess game played by his eldest lady.

The reason why Shopkeeper Meng and his men appeared here was naturally to cooperate with Guo Tong's actions, or this was Guo Tong's original request. The most important reason is that Guo Tong doesn't fully trust Shopkeeper Meng, so he has to keep it under his nose. If there is any special incident, he will push Shopkeeper Meng and others out.

Of course Shopkeeper Meng understands this approach, but he happily accepts the other party's arrangement because he also needs to observe closely to confirm the changes here.

In addition to knowing the background of the people in this side street, like Guo Tong, Shopkeeper Meng knew the identity of the young man from the Gui family when he saw him for the first time.

After all, the Fortune Chamber of Commerce was originally the eyes of the Medicine Sect. It paid special attention to the situation of those super aristocratic families. Of course, the established aristocratic families like the Gui Family were the focus of attention.

Although this young man from the Gui family is not well-known to the outside world, he has a high status and background among the members of the Gui family. The young man's real name is Gui Mang, and he is a prominent figure in the third generation of the Gui family. His status in the Gui family is even comparable to that of Gui Zao, who fought against Zuo Feng.

His father is Gui Chao, the commander-in-chief of the Gui family, and his grandfather is Gui Huo, the eldest elder of the Gui family. With such an identity, he can even say that he does not need to bow in front of the three leaders of the Gui family.

But such a young man with a high status would take the initiative to perform a task here, and he had a firm control over the development of the matter from beginning to end. Especially the use of human nature and emotions, and the stimulation of the emotions of the people in front of him, are just right.

Shopkeeper Meng secretly remembered what he saw and heard. All this information he needed to pass through Ikari and then be delivered to the hands of the eldest lady Duan Yueyao.

Since Shopkeeper Meng is here and there are many sentries around, there is no need for Ikari to come here to investigate in person. Fortunately, there was no need for Ikari to come in person, otherwise Yin Yue would definitely notice.

There is no doubt that if Yin Yue sees Ikari, he will definitely kill her immediately, regardless of how the situation in Kuocheng will develop in the future.

Fortunately, such variables have not appeared, and the plan has now reached the final step. Guo Tong didn't know the real secret of this side street, but he knew that this side street could be transformed into an important bait, luring out the important big fish behind it, or several big fish.

He was not guessing out of thin air. He could have planned the ambush outside the painters and blocked it by half of the strong painters led by Hua Su. It was absolutely impossible for such a few people on the side street in front of him.

According to his judgment, more people should be lurking in a secret location in the side street. Moreover, these people helped the Suwang family in the first place, but now the Suwang family cannot sit idly by and ignore their suffering. When the time comes, they can use this bait to catch three big fish.

Guo Tong was involved in this cooperation, but he only agreed to help deal with the strong men in this side street and the forces behind them. The strong men of the Suwang family were left to the Guihua family to deal with them. .

Since the last battle at the Painting Mansion, both sides of the four families have been very restrained. It's not that the conflict is easing, but that everyone is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for a decisive battle.

Guo Tong's intelligence prompted the Guihua family to take the lead. If everything goes according to plan, the Guihua family will take the initiative, while the Suwang family will passively participate. If they are not prepared, they will suffer big losses.

Only Shopkeeper Meng present knew that this side street had nothing to do with the Suwang family, and the fight outside the painter's residence was a very funny misunderstanding.

Only Shopkeeper Meng has been paying attention to anyone who is near the inconspicuous courtyard at the end of the street, because according to the information given by Ikari, the secret passage of the Lin family is in that courtyard.

Now someone was heading towards the courtyard, and that person was also the manager of this place. Shopkeeper Meng was very excited when he saw this scene, and immediately began to order the people below to get ready.

Shopkeeper Meng himself quietly clung to the side of the west city wall and quietly lurked towards the courtyard.

If it were normal, it would be difficult for Shopkeeper Meng to avoid the surrounding eyes and ears when approaching. But now, on this street, there are still people scattered around like before, paying attention to every sign of trouble. Almost all the Shu clan members here are involved in the battle.

At this time, Shujiang was in even greater chaos. Unless someone stood in front of him arrogantly, he would never discover the other person's existence.

Shujiang, who was moving forward, did not hesitate to use all his cultivation to increase his speed to the extreme. He didn't even knock on the door, but just swept across the courtyard from above the courtyard wall.

Just as Shu Jiang's figure flew over the courtyard wall, a powerful aura suddenly appeared. Shopkeeper Meng's face changed drastically as he was approaching. Fortunately, he had been careful and vigilant. At this moment, he noticed this powerful aura. He immediately twisted his body and quickly concealed himself, and completely restrained his own aura.

The owner of the powerful aura that appeared had actually surpassed Shu Jiang and reached the middle stage of receiving Qi. Although he was only at the fourth or fifth level of receiving Qi, a strong man of this level could not reach the level of Kuo at this time. Chengzhong is already close to the peak of his combat power.

If Zuo Feng were here, he would immediately discover that the owner of that aura was the old servant he could see every time he passed by, always sweeping the courtyard with a broom.

When Zuo Feng saw this old servant, he felt that he was not ordinary. Now it seems that Zuo Feng's intuition was absolutely right. The old man's strength was so well hidden that even someone as sensitive as Zuo Feng did not notice the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy in his body.

Shujiang had just passed the courtyard wall when a strong man in the middle stage of Naqi suddenly intercepted him. He was so frightened that he almost fell from the air. Fortunately, after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Shu Jiang felt relieved.

"Yes, it's Uncle Zhao. Why are you still here? The people over there are already overwhelmed. With Uncle Zhao's cultivation, why don't you hurry up and help?"

Looking at the old man in front of him, Shu Jiang quickly changed the casual "Lao Zhao" he usually called "Zhao Bo" to "Uncle Zhao". Of course, it was not just the title that changed, but also Shu Jiang's attitude. At this time, he had vaguely guessed that the old man in front of him was not that simple.

Sure enough, the next moment, Uncle Zhao, who was holding a broom, said coldly: "Staying here is an order from the big shopkeeper. No one except the big shopkeeper can let me leave this courtyard. Neither can you!"

If Uncle Zhao in front of him usually spoke like this, Shu Jiang would have been furious, but now he would not argue with the old man in front of him. Especially when the other party mentioned the big shopkeeper, Shu Jiang felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

With a heavy "sigh", Shu Jiang stopped staying and quickly flew past Zhao Bo, directly coming to the small warehouse where the sundries were stored. He opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Shu Jiang's leaving figure, the old man's eyes became slightly cold, and he let out a faint angry "hum" from his nose. I don't know if his anger is towards the provocateurs such as the young man from the Gui family, or towards the unsatisfactory Shu Jiang in front of him.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to realize something and turned his head sharply to look into the distance. In this dark night, coupled with the snowflakes falling all over the sky, even a strong man in the middle stage of receiving Qi will have his sight affected to a certain extent.

If Zuo Feng were here at this time, he would find that the reason why the old man in front of him is different is actually because the old man's own spiritual cultivation is very good. At this moment, the old man's mental power was released, and he had thoroughly explored the surrounding area within a distance of about seven to eight feet.

It's just that the old man's face has always looked very ugly. Just for a moment, something seemed to move in the area that he could see from the corner of his eye. But when he turned in that direction, he found nothing.

If it were a sunny day, even if it was a darker night than now, the old man was confident that he would not be wrong. But now the snowflakes are flying in the cold wind, and I am not sure whether I was dazzled just now.

Shopkeeper Meng hid nervously under the eaves of a house. Just now he clearly saw the warehouse that Shujiang entered, and then he noticed the old man holding a broom, looking at him warily.

"It's best that it's my imagination. Everything tonight has a special smell, as if..." The old man stood on the courtyard wall with a broom in his hand. After looking around, his eyes slowly fell on the other side of the street. Crowd in melee.

"Inappropriate, extremely inappropriate!" The old man raised his head sharply, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his solemn face. He shook his head and said, "This thing is too strange. Such a weird thing has not happened in decades." Why did this happen at this time and tonight?"

Looking at the snowflakes dancing in the sky, the old man's face became increasingly ugly, and his brows were deeply knitted together. His eyes suddenly turned to the open door of the warehouse, and the old man said angrily: "Shu Jiang should not be allowed to go back to report the news. Even if everyone on this street is dead, the tribesmen on the other side of the old city cannot be involved. "

Although the old man said this, he did not move. He still stood on the wall and stared in the northeast direction.

"With the big shopkeeper here, no matter how things develop, they will not get out of hand. It is estimated that Shujiang will not come back alive, and the family will not pay any attention to this place."

Thinking of this, the old man named Zhao Bo's expression softened slightly. He turned his gaze to the warehouse again and said resolutely: "In the worst case, I will personally take action and completely destroy the secret passage here. That's it." All traces can be erased and the big shopkeeper and the others will never be implicated again."

When he said these words, the old man had already made up his mind to die, but from his tone, there was obviously a sense of relaxation.

But the old man didn't know that the accident in front of him was a conspiracy calculated by someone, and the person who calculated this conspiracy even took into account some variables that even the old man didn't know about.
