My world double door
Chapter 579 Turbulence
When the last rays of the setting sun fell on Lingyao City, the whole city seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze. Lingyao City, an ancient city full of mystery and legend, showed a unique charm in the evening.
From a distance, the walls of Lingyao City looked particularly majestic under the setting sun. The tall walls were built of solid boulders and still stood tall after years of baptism. The flags on the walls fluttered gently in the breeze, as if telling the glorious history of the city.
Walking into the city gate, the guards still stood firm at their posts, and their figures looked particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Under the city gate, people came and went in an endless stream, including merchants rushing home, farmers who had worked all day, and knights traveling around. Their faces were tired, but also full of hope for life.
Entering Lingyao City, the first thing that caught my eye was a wide main street. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the shop signs are shining in various lights under the setting sun. There are blacksmith shops selling weapons, pharmacies selling medicinal materials, restaurants selling delicious food, and jewelry stores selling various exquisite accessories. People in these shops are busy, making the final efforts for the day that is about to end.
In the center of the street, there is a huge fountain. The water column of the fountain flashes colorful light in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it is a beautiful magic show. The fountain is surrounded by children, who are playing in the water, and their laughter echoes throughout the street.
Walking along the main street, you will come to the central square of Lingyao City. In the square, a group of pigeons are flying freely in the afterglow of the setting sun. The square is surrounded by some ancient buildings, some of which are temples, some are palaces, and some are libraries. These buildings look particularly solemn and sacred under the reflection of the setting sun, as if telling the long history and splendid culture of Lingyao City.
In a corner of the square, a street performer is performing acrobatics. His performance was wonderful and attracted cheers from many audiences. The face of the street artist was filled with a confident smile, and he brought joy and surprise to people with his skills.
On the other side of the square, several old people sat on benches, quietly enjoying the beauty of the sunset. Their faces were covered with traces of time, but their eyes were full of peace and tranquility. They were recalling their past and enjoying this beautiful evening time.
Leaving the central square and walking into the alleys of Lingyao City, it was another scene. The alleys were filled with a strong breath of life. There were women washing clothes at the door, old people basking in the sun in the yard, and children chasing and playing in the alleys. Although the houses in the alleys were simple, they were full of warmth and happiness.
At the end of an alley, there was a tavern. Bursts of laughter came from the tavern, and those were some people who were tired all day relaxing themselves. The owner of the tavern greeted the guests warmly and served them delicious wine and food. The lights in the tavern are particularly warm in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it is a place where people can forget all their troubles.
Walk out of the alley and come to the riverside of Lingyao City. The river water sparkles in the reflection of the setting sun, like a golden ribbon. There are some people fishing by the river, sitting there quietly, waiting for the fish to be hooked. The willow trees by the river sway gently in the breeze, and the willow branches brush across the water, creating circles of ripples.
In the distant sky, the setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the clouds on the horizon are dyed into colorful colors. There are red, orange, purple, and pink, and these colors are intertwined to form a beautiful picture. The evening in Lingyao City is like this picture, full of poetry and romance.
On the outskirts of Lingyao City, there is a beautiful field. In the field, the golden wheat waves are shining in the afterglow of the setting sun. The farmers are busy all day and are packing up their farm tools to go home. Their faces were filled with the joy of a good harvest. They used their hard work to bring prosperity and peace to Lingyao City.
The evening of Lingyao City is a picture full of life. There are majestic city walls, bustling streets, solemn buildings, joyful squares, warm alleys, beautiful rivers, and fruitful fields. Every corner here is full of stories, and everyone is working hard for their lives.
As night fell, the lights of Lingyao City lit up one by one. Those ancient buildings looked more mysterious and beautiful under the light. The pedestrians on the street gradually became scarce, but the lights in those shops were still flickering.
In this quiet evening, a piece of news spread quickly in the city like a heavy bomb.
The Zhao family was destroyed by the Li family!
It was like thunder in the plain, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Even though the Zhao family had some resources occupied by the Li family before, it was still one of the best families in Lingyao City. The destruction of such a large family would bring great benefits, and no one would not be tempted.
The big families in Lingyao City were even more undercurrents. This was a feast among first-class families, but it was nothing for ordinary people.
As for why it was a feast for first-class families?
The reason was very simple. Although the Zhao family was conquered by the Li family, it did not mean that all the resources of the Zhao family would be swallowed up by the Li family.
Just like now.
"The people of the Li family just had a big battle with the Zhao family. In Lingyao City, everyone practiced almost the same martial arts skills. Except for the slightly different names, the only thing they compared was the depth of their cultivation."
"Even if the Li family can defeat the Zhao family, which of the Zhao family's martial artists is easy to deal with?"
"At this moment, the Li family's martial artists must be seriously injured and exhausted, and they may not even have the ability to fight!"
Similar speculations were heard in each family. Under the night, martial artists gathered one by one. In the calm night, undercurrents have already become turbulent.
………………
………………
………………
The door of the Zhao family was closed, but there were bursts of noisy sounds from inside the door. The once majestic and solemn vermilion door is now somewhat broken, and the copper ring on the door has lost its former luster. The plaque above the door, the two big characters "Zhao Mansion", were also mostly damaged in the battle.
Walking into the Zhao family compound, the chaotic scene is even more shocking. In the courtyard, the flowers and plants have long withered, leaving only a patch of yellow weeds. The once neat stone slabs are now covered with cracks and dirt, and some places are still piled with debris. The pool in the yard was also dry, and the bottom of the pool was covered with fallen leaves and garbage.
Such a dilapidated scene was naturally caused by the battles between the masters of various martial arts levels.
It should be noted that when martial artists fight, they do not simply use their own strength to send out various attribute abilities, but will affect the world.
The surrounding heaven and earth energy will naturally affect reality under their extraction. These dry pools and dead plants are proof of this.
The main hall was in a mess. The furniture was pushed to the ground at will, and porcelain fragments were scattered all over the floor. The calligraphy and paintings on the wall were also torn off, some were torn in half, and some were stepped on. Many tiles on the roof also fell down, and the sun shone through the gaps, shining on this chaotic scene.
The Zhao family members quarreled in the main hall. Some people advocated forming an alliance with other families to seek shelter; others believed that they should rely on their own strength to revive the glory of the family. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. The quarrel became louder and louder, and some even started to push and shove.
Some people even thought that the Li family was too powerful, so they simply surrendered and begged.
Among the quarreling crowd, there were also some young people who were confused and uneasy. They didn't know what the future of the family would be like, nor did they know where to go.
The Zhao family's martial arts training ground was no longer what it used to be. The weapon racks were tilted and the weapons were scattered all over the ground. Some weapons were rusted, and some were damaged. The sandbags on the martial arts training ground were also scratched, and the sand flowed all over the ground.
Some clansmen vented their emotions in the martial arts training ground. They waved their weapons and chopped the air randomly, as if to vent all the anger and helplessness in their hearts. But their movements were disorderly, just venting blindly.
The Zhao family's study was also in chaos. The books on the bookshelf were thrown all over the floor, some were torn, and some were dirty. The pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk were also placed in a mess, and the ink in the inkstone had dried up. The windows of the study were also broken, and the wind blew in from outside, making the paper rustle.
Some clansmen were looking for the family's secret books and treasures in the study, hoping to find something that could help the family get out of trouble. But their search was clueless, and they were just rummaging blindly.
The Zhao family's garden had also become a wasteland. The once beautiful flowers had long since withered, leaving only some dead branches and leaves. The pavilions and towers in the garden had also become dilapidated, and some had even collapsed. The pool in the garden had also dried up, and the bottom of the pool was covered with moss and garbage.
Some clansmen sat silently in the garden, looking at this dilapidated scene, their hearts filled with sadness and helplessness. They recalled the good times they had and lamented why the fate of the family was so bumpy.
The Zhao family's backyard was even more chaotic. The servants fled everywhere, some were packing their luggage and preparing to leave the Zhao family; others were snatching some valuable items. The well in the yard had also dried up, and buckets and shoulder poles were thrown aside at random.
Some clansmen tried to stop the servants from escaping in the backyard, but their efforts seemed so powerless. The servants have lost confidence in the Zhao family, and they are unwilling to stay in this chaotic family.
The Zhao family's ancestral hall has also lost its former solemnity and sacredness. The tablets in the ancestral hall are placed randomly, and some have fallen down. The incense in the incense burner has also been extinguished, leaving only some ashes. Many tiles have fallen from the roof of the ancestral hall, and the sun shines through the gaps, shining on this chaotic scene.
Some clansmen prayed in the ancestral hall, hoping that their ancestors would bless the family to overcome difficulties. But their prayers seemed so pale and powerless, because they themselves did not know what the future of the family would be.
In this chaotic Zhao family, some outsiders took the opportunity to mix in. Some of them were thieves who took the opportunity to steal the Zhao family's property; some were enemy spies who tried to find out about the Zhao family. The appearance of these outsiders made the chaos of the Zhao family even worse.
The chaos of the Zhao family in Lingyao City is not only material chaos, but also spiritual chaos. The former Zhao family was united and worked together for the prosperity of the family. Today, the Zhao family is caught in a double dilemma of internal division and external pressure.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ruins of the Zhao family, which looked particularly desolate. But in this chaos, some clansmen began to reflect on the fate of the family. They realized that only by uniting and working together can the Zhao family get out of trouble and rise again.
"Everyone, stay where you are, throw away your weapons, and those who move will die!"
"Everyone, stay where you are, throw away your weapons, and those who move will die!"
"Everyone, stay where you are, drop your weapons, and those who move will die!"
Suddenly, shouts came from outside the Zhao family's territory. The Li family warriors who had won the battle with the Zhao family warriors outside had already rushed to the Zhao family's territory. Under the shouting of some Li family members at the warrior level, the remaining people in the Zhao family's territory suddenly changed their faces.
Some people were silent, some quietly slipped away, and some tried to organize their forces to retreat and make a comeback.
"Uh..."
But in the darkness, there were Li family pioneer warriors who had arrived earlier. Those who tried to leave, no matter what their purpose, were all killed except for the women, who were driven back to the clan's territory to wait for reception.
Those who gathered to find the family members were quickly strangled to death, and the Li family warriors quickly entered the entire Zhao family's territory and controlled the entire area.
However, everyone looked serious and did not relax because of the victory in the war against the Zhao family.
Pills were handed out one by one. Except for some who were guarding the captives, all the Li family warriors who had just experienced a great battle took the pills and quickly swallowed them and sat cross-legged on the spot to restore the strength consumed in the battle.
"Nephew Li Yang, this battle is really thanks to you, but now is far from the end of the battle. The Zhao family has been destroyed. The other families expect that we are seriously injured and will definitely send warriors to share a piece of the pie. In our current state, it is difficult to win against their intact family combat power."
In the center of the Li family, Li Changwu, the head of the Li family, looked at Li Yang as if he was looking at some diluted treasure, and said to him with a smile: "So, even if you win, you can't relax. How much cake you can share and how much resources you can eat next is real."
"Winning does not mean that we have won the final victory."
"Being able to keep and eat the resources of the Zhao family from these families is the real victory."
Li Changwu spoke with emotion. This is the reason why these families in Lingyao City have been balanced with each other for so many years.
Even if you can take it down, can you keep it?
After all the hard work and even the death of several elders, what will you do if another family comes and takes your family resources when you are injured?
So, in most cases, no one dares to take action.
This time, the Zhao family took action because they were being eaten away to the limit, so they gritted their teeth and fought back.
But the result is already clear. (End of this chapter)
