Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 171 Arrival of the Messenger Group
On a sunny day with a clear sky and warm wind, the envoy team sent by the Wang family arrived outside Sifang City, and the five major families in the city all sent people to greet them.

The Five Families are the actual controllers of Sifang City. The arrival of the Wang Family's emissary team is a blessing or a curse. It's really hard to say. Naturally, none of the Five Families can escape.

In order to show the importance they attached to the Wang Family's envoy team, the heirs of the five families dispatched together and traveled ten miles outside the city to welcome the arrival of the envoy team.

Ten Mile Wangcheng Pavilion, with forests and lush vegetation, and ten miles outside Sifang City, there is a gazebo, where people who welcome and see off in the city will stay here.

It is a very grand etiquette to welcome ten miles away. The five families have done this, and they have sent the successors of the five families, which has already expressed enough importance.

"Zhao Ji, I saw you again, you are really haunted."

In the gazebo, people from the five families gathered together, Lu Yu saw Zhao Ji at a glance, and said to him in a strange way.

When the five families left the city, there was no appointment, and the time of leaving the city was also inconsistent. Some came first and others came later. They gathered together at the gazebo ten miles outside the city.

As soon as everyone got together, Lu Yu immediately fired at Zhao Ji, his tone was not friendly, but Zhao Ji was not easy to provoke, he sneered, and said coldly: "Lu Yu, I know you want me to die, but let me die." You are disappointed, not only am I standing here intact, but also, those people you sent out, have they just disappeared."

Frowning, his face darkened, Lu Yu looked at Zhao Ji gloomyly, and said in a deep voice: "Those people in my family are your killers?!"

"What do you say?"

Zhao Ji sneered, and looked at Lu Yu disdainfully.

Although he didn't admit it directly, but Zhao Ji's expression and tone clearly admitted it, and Lu Yuqi was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, smoke was coming from the top of Lu Yu's head.

"Come here, take Zhao Ji down for me, hack him to death."

So angry that he lost his mind, Lu Yu snarled and ordered.

With Zhao Ji's order, a hundred elite soldiers of the Lu family moved out one after another, with swords and spears facing Zhao Ji, it was clearly a prelude to a real attack.

"Jianer from the Luo family, stop me."

Luo Qiushui's expression changed, and he let out a high-pitched scream, and quickly ordered.

The Luo family dispatched no fewer troops than the Lu family, and this movement was really quite a movement, a flash of light that could dazzle people's eyes.

Two hundred elite soldiers in armor faced each other outside the gazebo. The sharpness of their swords made people's skin ache.

After stopping the members of the Lu family, Luo Qiushui relaxed a little, pointed at Lu Yu, and shouted angrily: "Lu Yu, what do you mean? Brother Zhao is a distinguished guest of my Luo family. You dare to do this because you want to get along with my Luo family." Is there a war?"

"Luo Shimei, I'm not targeting the Luo family, but Zhao Ji. This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way quickly, otherwise, we will lose face."

His face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water, Lu Yu's eyes became very sharp and indifferent, and there was a big disagreement, which really meant to go crazy.

"Don't even think about it. As I said, Brother Zhao is a distinguished guest of my Luo family. I will push him to the end. If you really dare to make a move, our Luo family is not a vegetarian."

Luo Qiushui said firmly.

As a result, the atmosphere became stalemate there, and it became more and more rigid. If one is not good, the Lu family and the Luo family will really turn their faces and fight each other.

"Slow, slow, Brother Lu, Sister Luo Shi, let's get rid of the fire, soon, the Wang family's envoys are coming, you are making such a fuss now, it's not a joke for others."

Gu Wandao stabbed horizontally between the two of them, divided his hands, and interrupted.

On weekdays, it's nothing if there is a little mess among the five families. Gu Wandao may not have the leisure to take care of it, but today, just as the Wang family's envoy group is coming, it must not be out. trouble.

It's okay for people to see the joke. Once they are misunderstood, they made this out on purpose, but they are not welcome to come, and it will not be good for the five families to anger those people.

Undoubtedly, both Luo Qiushui and Lu Yu knew this truth. After they looked at each other coldly, they each snorted coldly, turned their heads, and waved their hands to make their own teams withdraw.

Therefore, this farce, under Gu Wandao's intervention, ended like this. In fact, it is impossible for the Lu family and the Luo family to really do something. With the presence of the other three families, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

The only result of this farce is to deepen the hatred between Zhao Ji and Lu Yu. At this time, Zhao Ji's murderous intent is deeply buried in his heart. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will never show mercy.

In the dull atmosphere, after waiting for a long time, until the sun was high, a team of suspected Wang family envoys finally appeared on the official road ahead.

More than 300 elite troops, guarding a middle-aged man on a tall horse, came in the direction of Sifang City, neither fast nor slow, coming in a meandering manner.

The reason why they were recognized at a glance was that this team was so recognizable. It is rare to see such a spirited elite soldier. An ordinary caravan cannot invite such guards at all. Only the big forces can have such an elite soldier. .

Realizing that this might be a team of envoys sent by the Wang family, Gu Wandao immediately sent someone up to ask about it, but he didn't expect it to be true, so everyone couldn't sit still and hurried up to greet him.

"The person who dares to ask is the special envoy sent by Zhu Haihou."

The four young masters and Luo Qiushui walked in front, when they reached the front of the group, Gu Wandao took two steps forward and asked loudly.

The middle-aged man was riding on the horse, and said condescendingly: "That's right, it's the envoy group sent by the Marquis Zhu Hai, who is in front?"

"I was sent by the lord of Sifang City to meet the special envoy."

Gu Wandao said loudly.

"It turned out to be a local official. I trouble you to come and meet me from afar. It's really a favor."

The middle-aged man dismounted, bowed his hands to Gu Wandao, and said politely.

"It's okay. The special envoy came from a long distance. He has worked so hard. I think he is tired. Why don't you go back to Sifang City with me so that I can arrange for you to rest."

Gu Wandao said neither salty nor bland.

A person came with an inexplicable mission, and a person just came to meet him. This is a collision between two forces. On the surface, they all abide by etiquette, say some unnutritious words, and behave very politely. It's hard to say if you have a ghost in your heart.

"After traveling thousands of miles, I'm really a little tired. Well, I'll trouble you."

Following Gu Wandao's words, the middle-aged man agreed.

Thus, the welcome team of the five families joined with the special envoy team sent by the Wang family, and drove towards Sifang City mightily.
