Hidden Blade

Chapter 300 Say Hello

'"Yesterday, Zhao Xingzheng and Gu Sijin, the governor of the Su Family, had already laid low and seized all their property. All of their clansmen have been imprisoned in the modified cells of the Tiance Prefecture. Because of the large number of people, Sister Ye has already sent people to recruit more people."

"Although there are some stubborn resisters, under the suppression of the Imperial Army led by Lord Zhang, they have all been executed. The amount of money seized is enormous and is still under liquidation. However, it is estimated that it should be sufficient to support the reconstruction of Big Yellow City."

In the Tian Ce Mansion, Liu Xiao looked at Xu Han and said. Yesterday, he, Ye Hongjian, and the others went to seize the Gu and Zhao families. They spent an entire night, but there was still no time to rest. However, there was not a trace of exhaustion on his face. There was only a dense excitement on his face.

News of the collapse of the Gu and Zhao families spread throughout Chang'an City early this morning. Everyone in Chang'an, from civilians to generals, was extremely shocked after hearing this news. The confrontation between the Gu and Zhao families and the Tian Ce Prefecture was not a matter of a day or two, but it was obvious that both sides were deliberately suppressing their hostility towards each other, as if they did not intend to make a move against each other in the short term.

Just as everyone thought that this matter would drag on for a year and a half, the Tian Ce Mansion suddenly moved and wiped the Gu and Zhao families from Chang'an City with lightning momentum overnight.

Of course, this matter was not as simple as the fall of Gu and Zhao families. Some people understood that Gu and Zhao families was the shield placed in front of Longevity Division. Tiance Prefecture shattered this shield, which meant that the next step was to attack Chang'an City, the true master of the Great Zhou Empire, Chang Ye Si.

They really didn't understand. With the strength of the Ce Manor today, if it wasn't for the fact that they were afraid of the Great Xia cavalry outside the Sword Dragon Pass, the Heavenly Ce Manor would have been completely overthrown by the Long Night Division. Why would such a Tiance Prefecture attack the Long Night Division?

Of course, they didn't understand, because Xu Han's original intention was to restrain Zhu Xian and Sikong Bai's attention and save Fang Ziyu, that was all.

After reporting this matter, Liu Xiao's eyes widened as he looked at the sweat. He thought that such a fruitful battle result would definitely make the Manor Lord smile happily.

In fact, after hearing his words, Xu Han only frowned and did not give him any response.

Liu Xiao had no choice but to take a step forward and whisper, "Big Brother Xu, Big Brother Xu?"

Trying to pull back the thoughts of this Lord Manor Master.

"Ah?" Hearing Liu Xiao's call, Xu Han turned around and looked at Liu Xiao like he had just woken up from a dream. The expression on his face was a little blank, and he subconsciously asked, "What?"

"I said that the amount of money seized yesterday was huge and is still in the process of liquidation. However, I estimate that it should be sufficient to support the reconstruction of Big Yellow City." Although it was strange why Xu Han was so absent-minded, Liu Xiao patiently repeated it.

"Mm. I know. I'll leave the matter to you to take care of. It was hard yesterday. You can go rest first." This time, even if Xu Han could clearly hear what he said. This Manor Lord, who had always been worried about the money and rations needed by Big Yellow City and the Sword Dragon Closure, still had an attitude that was neither salty nor indifferent.

This made Liu Xiao even secretly suspect that he did not express himself clearly enough. He originally wanted to repeat what he had said before, but after seeing Xu Han's dim expression, he finally came up with such thoughts. He cupped his hands towards Xu Han and then retreated with doubt.

After watching Liu Xiao leave, Xu Han sat alone in the main hall of the Tian Ce Mansion. After a moment of silence, he stood up. He walked out of the hall door, lowered his head, and walked around several alleys in the Tian Ce Mansion to arrive in front of a small courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Meng Liang, dressed in black, was sitting at a stone table. Dozens of bandages were tied to his body, large and small. He looked somewhat embarrassed. He was originally staring blankly in front of him, his expression dull, he didn't know what he was thinking. However, he was also extremely vigilant. When he heard Xu Han's footsteps, he raised his head to look at this place.

"Brother Xu!"

The vigilance in his eyes dissipated when he saw the visitor's appearance. He said this and quickly came forward to greet him.

"En, how is Brother Meng's injury?" Xu Han nodded at him and asked.

"No problem." Meng Liang shook his head and said carelessly.

"Where's Ziyu?" Xu Han asked again.

"I don't have any injuries on my body. I was just a little frightened, but Miss Qing comforted me for a long time before I fell asleep."

Hearing this, Xu Han was slightly relieved. His expression became serious at that time and he said in a deep voice, "Most of the Gu and Zhao families clansmen have been taken into Tiance Prefecture, but there is still no change on the Long Night Division."

Although Meng Liang wasn't from the Great Zhou Empire, he knew a little about everything in Chang'an. After hearing Xu Han's words, he was slightly stunned.

"Brother Xu, do you mean that Zhu Xian still doesn't know about Zhu Longqi's death?"

When he and Xu Han arrived yesterday, Zhu Longqi was already a corpse that could no longer die. Xu Han was also alert. After he woke up, he quickly ordered someone to carry the corpse to Tiance Prefecture.

"Tiger poison still not eat children, Zhu Xian Zhu Longqi such a son, I think he Zhu Dashou is no matter how ruthless after hearing the news of his son's death, also can't be so calm. Xu Han nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "Now that we're observing Long Ye Si's actions, I think we should not know about Zhu Longqi's death. Perhaps, as I expected, Zhu Longqi and Lang Chaosha kidnapped the fish together, or perhaps it was just their unauthorized actions."

"But I'm afraid Zhu Xian already knows about the tragic situation in Zhu Longqi's courtyard. After I annihilated Gu and Zhao families, he still didn't act. He probably thought that Zhu Longqi is in my hands now. From the looks of it, the messenger who came to ask for help is probably already on his way."

"If that's the case, then the news of Zhu Longqi's death can't be concealed in the end." Meng Liang's brows furrowed when he heard this. He understood the seriousness of this matter. "Then how does Brother Xu plan to deal with it?"

The two of them had experienced yesterday's events, so they could be considered to have lived and died together with the tribulation. In addition to that Heavenly Punishment Sword, Meng Liang also realized that Xu Han's identity might have an extremely close relationship with the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask this question at this moment.

Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head with a bitter smile. "As Brother Meng saw, my Tian Ce Mansion sounds famous, but in fact, it is a trump card. If Zhu Xian really wants to avenge his son, I'm afraid that neither Xu nor Tiance Prefecture will be able to escape this calamity."

"Then is Brother Xu prepared to just sit there and wait for death?" Hearing this, Meng Liang's heart sank.

At that time, Xu Han turned to look at Meng Liang and smiled. "Of course not," he said.

"That's why I'm here to find Brother Meng. I'm here to ask Brother Meng to help me with my next small favor."

Hearing this, Meng Liang immediately replied, "If it weren't for you saving me yesterday, my head would have been long gone. Brother Xu, if there were any difficulties, please don't hesitate to speak. I, Meng Liang, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"There's no need for that." Xu Han smiled again. "I just want to ask Brother Meng to bring Ziyu back to the Chen Kingdom safely."

Meng Liang was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Xu Han, "We're leaving. Then what should Brother Xu do?"

"Brother Meng should have heard of that Zhu Shouzuo. He has a suspicious nature and will definitely take revenge. Although Zhu Longqi died under my sword, if he tracks him down, Ziyu will definitely not be able to escape. With his temperament, he will definitely attack Ziyu. Staying in Chang'an will be harmful without any benefit." Xu Han said in a deep voice.

"But" In Meng Liang's heart, Xu Han was only summoning the Asura True Spirit to fight against a Mortal Realm expert to save him. It was precisely because of this that the Xing Tian Sword lost control after the Asura's defeat, causing Zhu Longqi's death. If he ignored this matter and left with Fang Ziyu, Yu Xin was uneasy.

"Brother Meng, don't worry. Ziyu almost made a big mistake because of this calamity. In the final analysis, it is still someone Xu who has committed a crime. If something happens to Ziyu because of this, how can you make me feel at ease?" Xu Han seemed to have seen through Meng Liang's thoughts. He smiled and said with relief. As he said this, a trace of ridicule suddenly appeared on Xu Han's face. He lowered his voice and said again, "Besides, if I'm not mistaken, Brother Meng is right about Ziyu."

Xu Han hadn't finished his sentence, but the meaning of his words, coupled with the smile on his face, couldn't be more obvious.

Hearing this, Meng Liang, who had a serious expression just now, blushed. "Xuanji is my younger brother," he explained anxiously. "The two of them are happy with each other. I just.."

"Alright, alright, I understand." Originally, Xu Han wanted to relieve the heavy atmosphere between the two of them, but he didn't want his Senior Brother Cheap to react so fiercely. He quickly stopped the topic and said, "Brother Meng, even if it's for Ziyu, you can't risk your life here. Besides, if you take Ziyu away, I don't have to worry about it. I don't need to be restrained by Zhu Xian." Besides, does Brother Meng think that with Brother Meng's cultivation, staying here can help Tiance Prefecture? "

Xu Han's words were somewhat disrespectful. However, Meng Liang was not angry because of this. He frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Brother Xu, have you thought of a way to deal with this?"

"Brother Meng, don't worry. I will not sit idly by and wait for death." Xu Hanyan said.

Hearing this, Meng Liang was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Alright then, Brother Xu, don't worry. Once I send Ziyu back to the Chen Kingdom, once the chaos in the Chen Kingdom is settled, I will definitely rush back to Chang'an!"

Seeing that Meng Liang had finally agreed, Xu Han's face was filled with joy.

"There's no time to delay. Brother Meng, go prepare now. This matter cannot be concealed for long." Xu Han said.

Since he had made up his mind, Meng Liang was not a shy person. He nodded heavily and said, "Alright."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to go into the room. He was ready to pack up everything and quickly leave.

Xu Han looked at his back as if he suddenly thought of something and called out, "Brother Meng!"

"Huh?" Meng Liang turned around and looked at Xu Han doubtfully.

At that time, the youth smiled at him and said, "If you are destined to meet Martial Uncle Mo, bring me to greet him."
