Great Xuanwu Sheng

It's still dark.

A large number of soldiers came from the west of the city and arrived in Nancheng District, surrounding the courtyard where He Mingxuan lived.

In the courtyard, He Mingxuan's body had been put down from the wall, and the simple knife that had penetrated the chest was placed next to it. The bright red blood on it had dried up, and there was a faint trace of burnt marks on it.

Standing next to He Mingxuan's body was He Guangzong, the chief police officer of Xicheng District. He was the first to hear the news. He just stood there with a gloomy face and remained silent.

I do not know how long it has been.

When the sky is dark.

A large number of people arrived from the inner city and surrounded the courtyard.

A man wearing a green gown, who looked somewhat similar to He Mingxuan, but was obviously much older, stepped into the yard and looked around at the situation with cold eyes.

Second brother.

He Guangzong saw the person coming and spoke in a deep voice.

The man in green shirt is He Mingxuan's father, He Guangxun, deputy director of the Inner City Smelting Department. He is in charge of all iron smelting in Yu County. Like the Salt Affairs Department in charge of the Yu family, the Smelting Department is basically completely controlled by the He family. It can be said that In the entire Yu County, everything from the 'cha knives' used by all government officials, to the kitchen knives and cha knives used by civilians, to the crossbows, arrows, iron armor and other equipment used by the protective army all have to pass through the He family. hand.

He Guangxun had many sons, including three by his wife and more than twenty by his concubines. Among the third generation of the He family, he was also one of the most prosperous, but not many of them were valued by him, except for three. Apart from his legitimate sons, only a few of his concubines had outstanding talents and attracted his attention.

He Mingxuan is one of the legitimate sons, ranked second. His talent is not the best among his legitimate sons, but he is still ranked high. After all, he is a person who has entered the Yijin realm, although he uses the third Yijin. Jin Wan was just a breakthrough, and a lot of resources were spent on nourishing Qi and blood and reducing the difficulty of Yijin, but it was finally over.

Even if it is almost impossible to step into bone forging in the future, there is still no big problem in reaching the perfection of Yijin at the age of thirty-five. He is also one of the middle and upper-ranking children in the He family. He can stand alone and stand out in the future. Whether he is holding a position in a department or serving in a local county, he is the backbone of the He family.

Letting He Mingxuan serve as the deputy chief mission officer in the City Guards Department actually means more training.

Although the position of the Chief Commissioner is occupied by Xu Hongyu, there are still many seventh-rank official positions corresponding to the Chief Commissioner in Yucheng. As a warrior of the Yijin Realm, He Mingxuan can also hold many seventh-rank official positions. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. To seize Xu Hongyu's seat, the He family hoped that he would have a fight with Xu Hongyu. It would be better if he could overpower Xu Hongyu and squeeze her away. But it would be a kind of training if he could not overpower him, and he would be able to maintain the power in Nancheng District.

but.

He Mingxuan died.

He died in the mansion he bought in Nancheng District, under the eyes of all the servants who guarded the home.

How's the check going?

He Guangxun walked slowly to He Mingxuan's body, his eyes passing over the body, showing no expression of sadness, only indifference.

He has many sons, and He Mingxuan is not the most outstanding one. For He Mingxuan's death, the anger in his heart is far greater than the sadness. But as the dignified deputy chief of the Smelting Department, he can't express his joy and anger, even though he still looks indifferent at this time , no mood swings can be seen.

He Guangzong said in a deep voice: The simple sword of a swordsman guarding the courtyard was snatched away. He was twenty or thirty meters away, and he threw the sword through the air in the dark night. It was powerful and heavy, at least it was Yi Jin Perfect. To a certain extent, it even uses artistic conception...

With He Mingxuan's strength, a simple and perfect blow from Yijin, a sneak attack in the dark night, is very likely to be unavoidable. However, the opponent obviously came with the purpose of killing this time. Not only did he suddenly explode in the dark night, Starting from the beginning, he even mobilized the power of artistic conception. What he wanted was not to give He Mingxuan any chance to live, and to pursue killing him with one blow.

He Guangxun slowly leaned down, picked up the bloody knife, carefully looked at the marks on the knife, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:

Thunder mood?

yes.

He Guangzong nodded, with a hint of gloom and uncertainty in his eyes, and said: No matter where you look, the people who want to kill Mingxuan the most are the Yu family, but it is very strange at this time. The characters in the Yu family are basically in trouble. I have never heard of the Zhenlei lineage before, and the people who master the Zhenlei artistic conception are basically from the Xie family, except for those from the Xue family.

He Guangxun stood up, threw the Pu Dao on the ground, then closed his eyes slightly and said: Not long ago, the Yu family lost a batch of salt goods. They became angry and wanted revenge. For this reason, they did not hesitate to hire someone to assassinate Xuan'er and give He Guangxun A stern warning.”

He Guangzong frowned slightly as he listened.

However.

He Guangxun suddenly opened his eyes again, changed his words, and said: The Yu family lost a batch of goods, and the He family also lost a batch of goods last night. The Yu family is still very powerful. Some people hope that we can do it at this time. We were fighting to the death with the Yu family, so we took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill Xuan'er, hoping to provoke a fight between our two families.

He Guangzong's eyebrows stretched slightly, which seemed more reasonable.

But then he thought of something again and said: If that's the case, why don't you ask someone to start with the artistic conception of Kanshui, but use the artistic conception of Zhenlei? Wouldn't it be more clear to start with the artistic conception of Kanshui?

He Guangxun said calmly: That's too deliberate!

The Yu family just lost a batch of goods, and someone assassinated Xuan'er with Kan Shui's artistic conception... Do you think the Yu family really wants to go to war with us? Being too deliberate will only make people more suspicious of this matter.

On the contrary, it is like this now. Even I can't be sure whether it is true or false. It was really the Yu family, the Xie family, or the Xue family.

When He Guangxun said this, his face became a little gloomy.

It is clear.

Someone is deliberately trying to muddy the waters.

Killing people with the thunderous artistic conception is not only possible that the Yu family hired someone to do it and used it to clear up the relationship, but also deliberately pointed at the Xie family. Therefore, even the Xue family is highly suspicious. After all, the Xue family and the Xie family both wish that they were the same as the He family. The Yu family fights to the death.

He Guangzong also fell into deep thought, and after a while he said: Then, what should we do?

Open struggle, covert investigation.

He Guangxun spoke calmly: Xuan'er is dead. No matter who did it, someone must pay the price, and we must give an explanation to our He family. In the face of the anger of the He family, at least in this Nancheng District, their Yu family Let it come out.”

good.

He Guangzong also nodded, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He Mingxuan died in Nancheng District inexplicably. In any case, Xu Hongyu is suspected of dereliction of duty. Taking this opportunity to remove Xu Hongyu from the post of chief mission officer is no problem. If the Yu family does not want to face the anger of the He family, they will probably give in. , and the city lord will always compensate He Mingxuan for his death, and will probably go along with the situation.

No matter what, He Mingxuan cannot die worthless, at least he must use his remaining energy for the He family.

Then came the secret investigation.

Secretly investigate this matter thoroughly to find out which family it is related to. No one who dares to attack the direct descendants of the He family will be let off!

A person who is at least perfect in Yijin and masters the thunder conception is not an ordinary existence. He is ranked among the strongest in the entire Yu City. Even in the general bone forging realm, if he does not master the conception, it will be difficult. It is his opponent. This kind of character cannot be completely left alone. Some clues must be found.

In Yucheng, although the He family's intelligence is far inferior to that of the Xue family and the Xie family, it has basically penetrated everywhere. An existence that masters the thunderous artistic conception cannot be unknown, unless it suddenly pops out of a stone. There has never been one before. There are no traces of the attack, otherwise nothing can be found.

Think of this.

He Guangzong shook his head again and said: Speaking of it, not long ago, a figure in the Yu family who mastered the artistic conception of Xunfeng appeared. So far, no results have been found. I don't know who the identity is.

oh?

He Guangxun looked at He Guangzong: I seem to remember this.

So He Guangzong briefly explained some of the previous things.

After hearing this, He Guangxun shook his head slightly and said: Well... then this time the Yu family's suspicion is the smallest. I don't think the Yu family has the ability to hide the two figures who control the artistic conception. Otherwise, the Yu family would not have had to do this in recent years. Just give in.

Indeed.

He Guangzong also nodded.

Two existences of the artistic conception level that were unknown to them before appeared without any trace. The hidden strength of the Yu family is a bit too scary. Maybe there will be a third or even fourth one. This is very unlikely.

After all, the most critical point is that the foundation of the Yu family is a Kanshui painting copied by a disciple of the painting saint. Although it is not the real third generation painting, it is just a copy of the painting saint's disciple, but it is not available in today's world. There are many, at least they are mid-range.

Relying on this picture, the Yu family was able to cultivate so many characters with difficult artistic conceptions.

As for other artistic conceptions?

How can it be so easy to understand without the copying pictures of middle grade or above for understanding!

The He family, for example, holds a picture of Genshan of similar quality. Therefore, the family has only accumulated those figures who have realized the artistic conception of Genshan over the years, and other inferior 'engraved' pictures and 'rubbing' pictures, The He family also has several pictures, including pictures from Lihuo and Duize, but no one has ever been able to understand the true artistic conception from those low-quality pictures.

The closer the fundamental map of artistic conception is to the original, the clearer and easier it is to touch the true meaning of heaven and earth contained in it. It would be nice if there is still a trace left of an inferior map that has been copied and then reprinted countless times. It is impossible for ordinary people to understand the artistic conception from it. At most, it can help people better understand the mystery of shi.

In this Yucheng.

Only the Xue family has the most basic plans.

But the Xue family has its own capital in holding these pictures. Several generations ago, there was someone in the Xue family who was an elder of Qixuan Sect. He was a great figure in the whole state. It was said that he had transcended the viscera realm. exist.

After that, the Xue family gradually fell into decline and became an outer force of the Qixuan Sect, but they were still able to manage the entire Yu County for the Qixuan Sect. Their relationship with the Qixuan Sect was much closer than the other three families.

This is the foundation of the Xue family.

It is beyond the reach of the other three companies.
