Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 38 News
At the Xiao Mansion in Siming County, Xiao Qingsong had just returned to the front yard living room after a busy day at work. Before he could sit down and have a sip of tea, the housekeeper hurried over.
Seeing the housekeeper's anxious look, Xiao Qingsong couldn't help but frown. Since his father passed away, these things have happened one after another, and he hasn't received any good news for several days.
"What's going on here?"
Putting down the teacup, Xiao Qingsong said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Which village is causing trouble again?"
"Master, something big has happened. I just got the news that the Tiger Sect is gone."
"The Tiger Sect is gone? What did you say? What happened to the Tiger Sect? How did it disappear?"
When Xiao Qingsong heard the news, it took him a long time to react before he jumped up. This news made him anxious. His family moved here, and the road behind was connected to the Huxing Sect. If the Huxing Sect was gone, their family would be finished.
"Tell me what's going on. The Huxing Sect has moved away. This is impossible. They have taken root here for thousands of years. Their goal is Yuanshan. They can't just move away like that."
"No, Master. News just came in that the Tiger Sect is all gone, and the mountain has been flattened. Some people say that an immortal took action and destroyed the mountain with one strike."
The housekeeper said quickly.
"How is this possible? Not to mention that immortals cannot attack at will, even if immortals can attack, the Tiger Sect has not provoked the immortals..."
Having said this, Xiao Qingsong suddenly stopped. He thought of Wang Liang and others whom he met at the funeral a few days ago.
With just one sentence, Wang Liang blocked everything they wanted.
"There is an immortal in my family."
"It's their family. They are here for revenge." After figuring it all out, Xiao Qingsong sat down on a chair. He understood what kind of enemy he had encountered, and he also understood that their Xiao family was in trouble this time.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Qingsong sat up straight and said, "Go and call the young master over. Wait, call the second young master as well. Tell them that you have something important to discuss with them."
After asking the housekeeper to leave, Xiao Qingsong picked up the teacup placed aside. He didn't notice that his hands were shaking as he held the cup.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zhengtan came into the living room with another boy .
The young man was his younger brother, Xiao Zhengxu.
In the beginning, the Xiao family came up with many plans in order to compete for the dragon. One of the plans was that Xiao Zhengtan would be the leader, with Xiao Zhengxu acting as a fierce general to pave the way for Xiao Zhengtan.
But the Xiao family never expected that Xiao Zhengxu was born with a difficult labor. He was born with weak blood and qi and was not good at fighting. However, because he did not like to move around and read a lot of books, he was slowly moving towards becoming a military advisor.
It was also for this reason that .
After seeing the two people arrive, Xiao Qingsong stood up and put his hands behind his back: "Come with me to the study, Zhengtan, when we enter the study, activate the magic circle according to the method I teach you."
As he said that, Xiao Qingsong led the way.
No one noticed that Xiao Qingsong's steps were smaller than usual when he walked.
After passing the front yard and entering the Xiao family's main study, Xiao Zhengtan hurriedly activated the magic circle according to the method taught by Xiao Qingsong.
This is the Xiao family's inheritance method, and only the clan leader and his successors can learn it.
As long as the magic circle is activated, this study will become a foreign place. Except for the Xiao family's bloodline, all other people's bloodlines will be absorbed by the magic circle. At the same time, all kinds of sounds and images cannot be transmitted out. It is a good place for secret communication.
After the magic circle was activated, the three of them stood at the door of the study and watched the scenery outside gradually fade, then darken, and finally it seemed as if the study was moved to another space.
After everything outside the door completely disappeared, Xiao Qingsong sighed heavily, "You two find a place to sit down."
In addition to a set of desks, high-back chairs and three rows of bookshelves, Xiao Qingsong's large study also has two chairs for guests. However, since Xiao Qingsong and Xiao Zhengtan are the only two people who usually come here, one of the chairs obviously looks unpopular.
It was the first time that Xiao Zhengxu came to the study, but he was a smart man and knew where he should sit at a glance.
So he just sat down on that unpopular chair and looked at Xiao Qingsong obediently.
"You all don't know why I called you here, right? Actually, something big happened. The Huxing Sect was destroyed and razed to the ground. I will give it to whoever you think it is."
Xiao Zhengtan was not a fool, on the contrary he was quite smart. He immediately thought of the palace not far away.
"It's that family. The one called the versatile Wang Jilong. Yes, that's the name."
"Yes, that's my guess. So what do you think is the reason why they took action?"
"The Wang family was attacked by the Huxing Sect for no reason, and since they are new here, they need to establish their authority."
Xiao Qingsong nodded, and said helplessly: "They have immortals, and they are showing it."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengxu's eyelids twitched, as if he wanted to say something.
"Zhengxu, what do you want to say?"
"Father, immortals are rare, and immortals who can take action are even rarer. In the entire Qin State, there are only a few who can be named. If we have an immortal who takes action, will it be..."
"Don't even think about it. We have a grudge against him, so we're lucky he didn't attack us. We also want the immortal to help us, which is impossible."
Xiao Qingsong shook his head. He had also thought about recruiting this immortal for his own use, but was it possible ?
He was not stupid. He did not think that he could offer a higher price to force Wang Liang to hand over the immortal.
Xiao Qingsong didn't think this was possible, but Xiao Zhengtan's eyes lit up.
"Father, we can actually do it. They destroyed the Huxing Sect, not us who are closer. This shows that they actually have a goal. We don't have much conflict with their family. If we can make friends with them through some means, we can borrow their power and use it for our own benefit.
Even if we can't borrow his power, after we make friends with him, we will know what he wants, and then there will always be a chance."
"Then how do you say we make friends with him?"
Xiao Qingsong was moved by this. Just as Xiao Zhengtan said, if they could really make friends with them, even if they couldn't use the immortals, it would be good to borrow some of their power.
The most they can do is to give out a duke or marquis position after the war of unification. If they really get the position, they can afford the price.
Seeing that Xiao Qingsong's attitude had softened, Xiao Zhengtan slowly expressed his thoughts.
"Father, isn't my eldest sister still at home? If we can..."
"Marriage?"
