Song family.
After finishing his work today, Zhao Ya did not go home. Instead, he was invited by Song Linqing to drink wine and admire the moon in the back garden.
It was already early spring. Although the weather was still warm and cold, some flowers in the garden had already bloomed.
Song Linqing was obviously in high spirits. He ordered a banquet to be held among the flowers and also called Song Peiwan.
The three of them sat around the table, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The servants waiting nearby were already used to this.
Now Zhao Ya's status in the Song family can be said to be lower than that of one person and higher than ten thousand people. The key is that Song Linqing never treated him as a subordinate, and Zhao Ya did not treat Song Linqing as the head of the family.
The two are more like friends.
As for Song Peiwan, that goes without saying.
After three drinks and five dishes, Song Linqing was already a little tipsy. He put down his wine glass, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly sighed.
"Xiaoya."
"Um?"
"Do you think I can keep this family fortune?"
Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, wondering why Song Linqing suddenly asked this question.
"Yesterday, Wanshou County sent me another letter. The letter still advised me to go back." Song Lin said calmly.
Song Peiwan's expression changed when she heard this, and then she lowered her head deeply.
Zhao Ya was a little silent.
After these days of getting along, he also learned a lot of inside information.
The Song family is not the original inhabitants of Wuxiang City.
Back then, Song Linqing's father, Song Xiongwei, the head of the old family, brought a group of people to Wuxiang City to settle down, creating such a huge family business.
The real hometown of Song Linqing and others is in Wanshou County.
And from what Song Linqing said, it seemed that their hometown was an extremely large family in Wanshou County.
Even the armor of the Black Armored Army was purchased by Song Linqing from his hometown and was not available anywhere else.
As for why the old head of the family, Song Hongwei, left Wanshou County and came to Wuxiang City thousands of miles away, Song Linqing did not say.
But there must be some reason for it.
But now that Wanshou County sent another letter hoping that the Song Linqing brothers and sisters would come back, Zhao Ya didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Zhao Ya slowly said, "What do you mean, head of the family?"
"Of course I don't want to go back." Song Linqing replied simply.
"Although my hometown is very powerful, the internal competition is actually extremely cruel. Back then, my father was ignored and abandoned by the family because of an unintentional mistake. In anger, he led a group of people to the Dancing Elephant City across mountains and rivers."
"Now that we have finally created such a big family fortune, I, as the head of the family, have taken great care of me. How can I be willing to go back to that hellish place to be a grandson?"
Song Linqing spoke what was in her heart under the influence of alcohol.
I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
No matter how strong his hometown is in Wanshou County, it is not his own.
Song Linqing thought this very clearly.
"What are you struggling with, head of the family?"
"I'm not afraid of Xiaoya's jokes, because I am." Song Linqing said calmly.
"Because the Song family is not an aborigine, the Hong family and the Yang family have always excluded us. Now that my father is dead, the Song family only has two brothers and sisters like us and some distant uncles who came with us. It can be said that we are powerful. Alone is weak.”
"If they really join forces to deal with us, they may be able to survive it once or twice, but what about after a long time?"
Zhao Ya took a deep breath, "So what the head of the family means is..."
"Xiao Ya, don't worry too much. I have no intention of giving up. I've been watching your efforts during this period. I'm not afraid of the Hongyang family. I'm just thinking about the foundation my father has created. So this time I didn’t throw away the letter from my hometown, but kept it with me.”
"It would be better if we could repel or even kill these two families, but if we really can't, then I won't let them take advantage of it in vain."
Speaking of this, a fierce look appeared on Song Linqing's face.
"I have been secretly sorting out the meat field during this period. Now the matter there has been taken care of. If anything happens, you can evacuate at any time."
"When the time comes, even if I burn down this manor, I won't leave it to the Hong Yang family."
Zhao Ya did not speak, because Song Linqing's decision was understandable no matter how you looked at it.
It is always better to anticipate defeat before you expect victory and to prepare an escape route in advance than to end up with a dead end.
Especially for such a big family.
"I say these words to you today because I sincerely regard you as a friend, so what I want to ask is, if the day of retreat really comes, will you be willing to come with us?" Song Linqing asked.
After hearing these words, Song Peiwan immediately raised her head and looked at Zhao Ya without blinking an eye.
To be honest, Zhao Ya really had a little hesitation.
It is conceivable that as long as he agrees to go with them, Song Linqing will think more highly of him.
To be called a behemoth by Song Lin and the Qing Dynasty, the power of the Song family in Wanshou County must be extremely powerful.
Even if there is some distance between Song Linqing and his own clan, after all, the same blood flows in their bodies, so they cannot be too depressed after returning.
I will also have a place to settle down at that time.
Especially Song Peiwan's scorching eyes were looking at him right now...
But Zhao Ya thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Master, I'm really sorry. If that day comes, please forgive me for not being able to follow you."
"Why?" Before Song Linqing could speak, Song Peiwan took the lead in asking.
"Because my master asked me to do something before he died, and I have to complete it."
Before Meng Lei died, he gave Zhao Ya a jade plaque and told Zhao Ya to go to Yunxiao County and join his senior brother Lu Dingtai if he had nowhere to go.
Zhao Ya always kept this in mind.
Because Meng Lei made it clear that when they separated, his senior brother Lu Dingtai was already a Four Realm warrior, and he must be even more powerful now.
But this is not the main thing. The most important thing is that Zhao Ya is very curious about the sect recorded on the jade tablet.
Because it can be seen from the martial arts that Meng Lei learned that its inheritance is very complete and long-standing.
Especially the big monument thrower is a unique skill.
But Meng Lei is just an outer disciple, which shows how powerful his sect is.
So if Wuxiang City couldn't stay any longer, Zhao Ya would naturally go to the county town.
After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Song Peiwan looked disappointed and lowered her head in silence.
Song Linqing laughed quickly when he saw this.
"Okay, I just asked casually, how things are going. Maybe the Hong and Yang families don't dare to take action at all, so let's continue to stay in Wuxiang City."
After the hasty meal, Zhao Ya returned home. After pondering for a moment, he decided to let Zui'er prepare all his belongings in advance.
It wasn't that Zhao Ya planned to escape before the battle, but that he heard that Song Linqing didn't mean to stick to it.
In fact, this is fine, but still fighting to the death in the face of a powerful enemy is the last choice made out of desperation.
Even Zhao Ya before would not fight to the end, but planned to act according to the situation.
If you really can't defeat him, you will first escort Song Linqing and Song Peiwan away, and then go to the county town to join Lu Dingtai and continue to accumulate strength.
Based on the progress of my cultivation, it will not take long to advance to the fourth or even fifth realm, and then I will just fight back.
Now after listening to Song Linqing's words, Zhao Ya was even more prepared in advance.
At the same time, the entire Song family manor gradually became deserted.
Song Linqing dismissed most of the slaves, gave them some housing allowance, and let them make a living.
The atmosphere in the inner city became even more chilling and tense.
Even though the Hong and Yang families tightly blocked the news, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were going to attack the Song family, so they all withdrew from the inner city to prevent being affected.
The war is about to break out.
Under this situation, Zhao Ya became more and more calm.
He did not let the guards train during the day, but took turns to rest in order to conserve their strength.
Just like this, the long day finally passed, and night came belatedly, covering the earth.
Everyone had a good meal and stood ready at their respective posts.
Zhao Ya sat in the center and closed his eyes to rest.
Song Linqing is also there, and he is also fully armed today.
Even Song Peiwan was carrying a long sword, and her heart was full of excitement and anxiety.
From time to time, she would look back at Zhao Ya, who was sitting on the chair as calm as a mountain.
This guy... is really calm.
But why don't you want to go with us?
Doesn't he still understand my thoughts?
Thinking of this, Song Peiwan couldn't help but bite her lips secretly, her heart filled with resentment.
And just at this moment, fire suddenly broke out in the direction of the front yard and the backyard at the same time.
"coming!"
Zhao Ya and Song Linqing shouted almost at the same time, and then Zhao Ya jumped out and flew to the roof.
Sure enough, the front and back yards caught fire at the same time, and the fire burned extremely fast.
But Zhao Ya didn't show any panic, instead he was waiting for something.
really.
A gong sounded, and then the villagers who were ambushing everywhere in advance picked up the sand they had packed and threw it into the flames.
This was all Zhao Ya had planned ahead and had people prepare in advance.
He knew very well that the Hongyang family would not be the only ones to take action, and the thieves from Qingzhuling would also show up.
Huo Tianxiao's method of setting fire in front of the Great Buddha Temple left a very deep impression on Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya understood that if they wanted to attack the Song family, the first step would definitely be to set fire to it.
So Zhao Ya made adequate preparations for this.
Huo Tianxiao obviously used kerosene to set the fire. This kind of thing cannot be extinguished with water and can only be buried with sand.
So Zhao Ya ordered his people to prepare a lot of sand in advance, and it really came in handy at this time.
Although the fire oil burned fiercely and quickly, it was covered by sand and soil as soon as it appeared, and it couldn't spread even if it wanted to.
So the fire in the front and back yards was quickly controlled.
Huo Tianxiao, who was directing his men to set fire outside the manor, was extremely surprised.
This was the first time he saw his fire attack not working.
"Damn it, keep playing, I don't believe we can't burn them to death!" Huo Tianxiao roared.
"Okay, Third Brother, if you set them all on fire, what about the meat field of exotic beasts? If the fire attack doesn't work, just attack by force. Anyway, there are so many people here, we can't just sit back and eat." Zhan Feng said coldly.
Many people who said these words looked unhappy, but no one dared to refute.
Everyone knows that the second village master of Qingzhuling is mean and moody. Once he is angered, death will be easy.
"Open the door first!" Hong Shouchang shouted.
Immediately a group of troops went to attack the front door, but as soon as they got close they were greeted by a hail of arrows.
Although the accuracy of bows and arrows in the darkness was not as good as during the day, they could not withstand the dense rain of arrows, so the group retreated after leaving behind seven or eight dead bodies.
"Bring me a shield and charge up!" Hong Shouchang couldn't help but said angrily when he saw this.
In order to attack the Song family, they were fully prepared, even their shields were ready.
Relying on the wooden shield, a group of people finally rushed to the door, but after frantically smashing the door several times, the door did not move at all.
"The door can't be opened!" someone shouted.
"What a bunch of trash!" Zhan Feng sneered when he saw this, and suddenly jumped up and directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters to the door, and then raised his hand and slapped him.
There was a loud bang.
Sawdust flew everywhere. Looking at it, Zhan Feng smashed most of the door into pieces with his palm, and more than a dozen wooden stakes supporting it were also cracked.
This blow was like a groundbreaking blow, and everyone present was shocked.
Zhan Feng laughed loudly, "Come on, no chickens or dogs will be left here today!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, arrows were shot at Zhan Feng from all directions.
Zhan Feng didn't pay attention to this at all. With a wave of his hand, the wind from his palm knocked away the arrow that was shot.
Even if a fish slipped through the net and shot into Zhan Feng's body, it wouldn't even be able to pierce the skin.
Zhao Ya, who was on the far house, couldn't help but his eyes narrowed when he saw this.
Completed skin grinding, warrior of the four realms!
Speaking of which, this was Zhao Ya's first time seeing a Four Realm warrior take action.
It's really strong enough.
At the same time, Zhan Feng tiptoed and circled around the front yard like a bird.
Wherever he passed, screams continued.
Those Zhuang Ding guards who were hiding in the dark and shooting arrows were killed by Zhan Feng's circle and killed four or five of them.
The remaining people did not dare to stay any longer and retreated one after another.
People from the Hongyang family and Qingzhuling also rushed in at this time.
"Split up and follow the plan!"
Hong Shouchang shouted, and then led his men to rush towards the atrium.
Because he knew that there was the most important meat field of the Song family.
"Damn it, you surnamed Hong are so shameless!"
Yang Sansi cursed in a low voice, and had no choice but to lead the people and rush to other places.
Fu Tingfang didn't care about that. At this time, she had only one idea, which was to find the man named Zhao and cut him to pieces.
She rushed forward desperately, and Diao Ruhai had no choice but to follow behind.
At the same time, all the guards who had been lying in wait also appeared and fought with the three coalition forces.
For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud, and the situation quickly entered a state of stalemate and melee.
Zhao Ya jumped off the roof, killed a Qingzhuling thief with a knife, and then joined the battle group.
However, Zhao Ya was never reluctant to fight, but fought and left, and specifically selected those valuable targets to attack.
puff.
The sword flashed, and the head of a small boss from an unknown family flew up to Lao Gao.
But Zhao Ya disappeared before he landed, and then ran towards the next target.
"Shameless person, suffer death!"
A scream full of anger came, and then a sword light stabbed Zhao Ya diagonally.
Zhao Ya turned slightly and slashed towards where the sword light came from with the knife in his hand.
Fu Tingfang was startled by this extremely fast knife.
She didn't expect Zhao Ya's reaction to be so quick.
Just now, she finally found Zhao Ya in the battle group. She was so happy that she wanted to stab him to death with a sword, but Zhao Ya easily dodged him.
Fu Tingfang dodged the sword, and was about to strike with the sword in her hand. At this moment, Zhao Ya's foot arrived and kicked Fu Tingfang directly in the lower abdomen.
If this kick was successful, Fu Tingfang's intestines would be exploded.
Zhao Ya had already seen the person clearly at this time and recognized her as the third young lady who had been chasing him before.
But no matter whether it is the third lady or the fifth lady, Zhao Ya will not show mercy.
This kick came so fiercely that Fu Tingfang couldn't dodge and was about to be kicked. Fear and regret appeared on her face.
She originally thought that with the help of the three families, she would be able to kill Zhao Ya with the sword this time.
As a result, he didn't expect that his strength would improve so quickly, and he wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
When she was in despair, a big hand pulled her back, and she managed to avoid the kick.
At the same time, this man raised his palm and slapped it down, causing a disgusting wind.
It was Diao Ruhai, the leader of the fifth village in Qingzhuling.
As soon as he saw him, Zhao Ya felt murderous intent surge in his heart.
If he hadn't secretly carried out a sneak attack at that time, the chief escort would not have lost his arm.
So when it comes to who Zhao Ya wants to kill the most, Diao Ruhai must be the first one.
Zhao Ya stepped back to avoid Diao Ruhai's poisonous palm, but the knife in his hand slashed towards Diao Ruhai like a gust of wind and rain.
At this time, Diao Ruhai was also complaining secretly in his heart.
He had already guessed that Zhao Ya's strength would greatly increase, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
The third young lady almost died, and now she was also trapped by the force of his sword.
If he continues like this, he will be killed by the sword.
But at this moment, Zhao Ya, who was swinging his sword wildly, suddenly jumped and flew backwards.
Then he saw a figure appear where he had just stood. Zhan Feng retracted his palm and gave a sinister laugh.
"The monkey cub runs quite fast."
Zhao Ya looked solemn.
A warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart just now. This feeling had saved Zhao Ya more than once, so he evacuated the battlefield without hesitation.
as expected.
If he had just been stunned for a moment, this extremely ugly warrior from the Fourth Realm might have succeeded in his sneak attack.
He took a deep look at Zhan Feng, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
"Second brother, that was Zhao Ya who bullied me just now!" Fu Tingfang said.
Zhan Feng was very kind to Fu Tingfang and smiled after hearing this.
"Don't worry, no one can escape today. Can I peel off the skin of this monkey cub with my own hands later?"
"good!"
Diao Ruhai on the side was still frightened. If Zhan Feng hadn't arrived in time, his head would have been moved.
"Lao Wu, you are becoming more and more useless now. You can't even beat a young boy. What a waste."
Diao Ruhai blushed and hesitated to speak.
Zhan Feng waved his hand, "You all rush with me. Whoever catches Song Linqing first, I will reward you heavily."
The thieves in Qingzhuling were greatly inspired and rushed forward following Zhan Feng.
But just after walking a short distance, I couldn't walk anymore.
Because a team wearing black armor blocked the way.
This chapter will not be divided into chapters. There will be another chapter in the afternoon.
I didn't notice when I posted that the chapter title was wrong, but it doesn't affect viewing, so there's no need to change it.
