Chapter 477: Reunion and regret, gathering at the shogunate and accusations
"Take off all the masks!"
Jiang Xinfan turned to look at the thirteen people who had just arrived and took the lead in taking off the mask on his face, then signaled everyone to take off their masks.
The people below were stunned when they heard the sound, but soon, as Xia Hong beside Jiang Xinfan untied the mask on his face, the expressions of the vast majority of people were instantly excited.
"Lord!"
"It really is the Lord. I felt it at Hekou Village. Such an intense Holy Pattern bloodline induction, only the Lord can do it."
"It's the Lord, we found the Lord."
Seeing Xia Hong's true face, the thirteen people were so excited that they were shocked, and then they took off their masks in unison, bowing to Xia Hong incomparably respectfully:
"Greetings to the Lord."
"Greetings to Master!"
"Greetings to the Lord."
The thirteen people shouted three kinds of addresses, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Hahaha..."
Xia Hong smiled, first cast his gaze on the eight people in front, and opened his mouth: "Chen Hua, Kong Xiu, Luo Ming, Hong Yu, Meng Ao, Zhu Kang, Chen Yingba, Wu Ningyuan, I didn't remember wrong, right?"
The eight people lurking in Chen Cang by Great Xia, Xia Hong not only remembered them all but even called out the names of every single one of them extremely accurately.
It's not strange, mainly because these eight people were not strangers to him.
Chen Hua and Kong Xiu were considered old secret agents of Great Xia. A few years ago, they had lurked in Muyin Town once and made great contributions to Great Xia's solution of the Muyin crisis. If Xia Hong remembered correctly, both of them became the main officials of the Hong Sect Eight Departments, and they were still willing to lurk in Chen Cang. Now both of their strengths were 42 mane;
Luo Ming goes without saying. He was the old leader of the Luo Ge camp who gave up the Twin Dragon Valley that year. Now he has 49 mane strength; Chen Yingba was the younger brother of Chen Yingyuan, the leader of the Beehive Plain. He was personally taught a lesson by Xia Hong that year, and now he already has 52 mane strength; Wu Ningyuan was the third leader of the original Longyou Bai Yuan camp. He surrendered to Great Xia during the Longyou Great War that year, and now he also has 51 mane strength.
These five people were basically middle-aged people over 40. Regardless of age or strength, they should be considered the backbone of Great Xia at present;
The remaining Hong Yu, Meng Ao, and Zhu Kang looked much younger, at most estimated to be 30 years old. Xia Hong remembered very clearly that the fathers of the three were Hong Guang, Meng Yi, and Zhu Ling who died in the Beehive Defense War.
These three were naturally the second generation of disciples according to their generation, but their age was too old. Great Xia had a consensus within, taking Yue Yuan as the boundary, that is, children born after the first year of Great Xia were called second-generation disciples. The three obviously did not meet this condition.
But it was not only the three of them who did not meet the conditions. Luo An, Lu Dong, Zou Ping, Luo Cheng, Liu Peng, Hong Ye, Zhao Yuanwu, Zhao Yuanshan, Zhao Yuankang, etc., a large group of people were all born before the first year, and now their ages were all between 20 and 30.
Those in this age group were called the new generation by Great Xia.
At present, the most active and gradually beginning to show their heads in Great Xia were the new generation. It could be seen from the Nine Towns Martial Arts Competition a few years ago, and Ji Hong, who was currently in Chen Cang, was also one of the members of the new generation.
Although the strength of Hong Yu and the three was not comparable to Ji Hong's, it was also quite good. The strongest was Zhu Kang with 35 mane, followed by Hong Yu with 33 mane, and Meng Ao's strength was relatively the weakest, but he also had 32 mane.
The new generation of Great Xia was now not only getting stronger and stronger but also able to perform such dangerous lurking tasks, which showed that the role they played in the camp was getting bigger and bigger.
"Zhu Kang, you have already inherited Zhu Ling's title, right?"
The Lord actually remembered me!
The eight people called out by Xia Hong were excited at this moment. Seeing that the Lord even remembered his father Zhu Ling, Zhu Kang's face was even more moved, cupping his fists and saying with a choked voice: "Thank you for your concern, Lord. Three years ago, the subordinate successfully inherited his father's ninth-grade Profound Feather Viscount."
"That's good!"
Zhu Ling was considered one of the first Cold-Resisting level members to die for Great Xia. Plus Zhu Kang's uncle Zhu Yuan was the Secretary of the Civil Affairs Department, Xia Hong naturally had a deep impression of this family.
The eight people of Great Xia were finished, and he cast his gaze to the rear.
The five people in the back were four men and one woman. Among them were Zhang Yuchuan and the two protectors of Liu and Wang who were responsible for the Qingwu Village uprising. As for the remaining young man and woman, they were none other than Su Jing and Su Xing'er.
Unlike the confusion on the faces of Zhang Yuchuan and the three, Su Xing'er and Su Jing, the brother and sister, looked at Xia Hong with tears streaming down their faces. Seeing Xia Hong look at them, they couldn't help but step forward and kneel down with a thud.
"Master, Xing'er knew that you would be fine."
Xia Hong saw the thirteen people just now, and the reason for sighing at the series of coincidences was here. Su Xing'er and the two siblings were actually mixed with Ji Hong.
He just remembered that Jiang Xinfan said a lot just now, and he didn't ask how Ji Hong knew he was missing in the Blood Miasma Plain from beginning to end.
Although Ji Hong could guess his identity through the name Hong Yu on the Heavenly Ranking and conclude that he came to the Moao River, he was missing in the Blood Miasma Plain. Only the high-level of Cai Qiu knew about this, and he was not an important person to Cai Qiu, so the high-level of Cai Qiu would definitely not publicize it with great fanfare.
Therefore, the vast majority of people in Chen Cang definitely didn't know. In this way, Ji Hong would be even harder to know.
Now seeing Su Xing'er and the two siblings, he instantly reacted.
"You met Ji Hong when you were in the Blood Miasma Plain trial, right?"
"That's right, thanks to Brother Ji for saving us, otherwise the four of us would have died in the Blood Miasma Plain long ago."
Su Xing'er cried with joy, her tone was still choked, which showed how important it was for her to see Xia Hong again.
The nine people of Great Xia present, including Jiang Xinfan at the top, heard Su Xing'er call out the title of Master for the second time. Xia Hong did not make a correction, and the hearts of everyone were moved. The three young people, Hong Yu, couldn't help but look at Su Xing'er and the two siblings, their eyes full of envy.
Fate is indeed wonderful...
Xia Hong noticed everyone's expressions but didn't care. At this moment, his heart couldn't help but sigh first.
According to what Jiang Xinfan said earlier, the Profound Ice Dao strange monster caused almost devastating damage to the trial areas of the two feudal towns. Under normal circumstances, with the strength of Su Xing'er and the four siblings at that time, they would definitely not survive, even if they had the Huang Zhu he gave them.
Unexpectedly, they met Ji Hong!
No need to think, it must be the Great Xia exclusive items like the Huang Zhu or Condensing Fire Oil that made Ji Hong and the four siblings have an intersection.
From the trial in November the year before last to now, two years have passed in total. Su Xing'er's 42 mane strength was already beyond Xia Hong's expectation. Looking at Su Jing, he actually had 38 mane, which was even more exaggerated.
However, soon, Xia Hong saw the abnormality of the two.
The skin membrane had almost no defects. This was the performance of taking a large amount of Blood Jade Beads!
"Get up! Being able to meet Ji Hong can be considered your fate..."
Xia Hong called Su Xing'er and the two siblings up, cast his gaze on the last three people, and continued with a smile: "Zhang Yuchuan, I know you. What are the names of you two?"
Su Xing'er and the two siblings, although they were also very confused about the title of Lord that everyone just called, they had many premonitions about Xia Hong's origin a few years ago, so they calmed down quickly;
But Zhang Yuchuan and the three were different.
They were confidants Ji Hong accepted in Chen Cang and knew nothing about Great Xia. Of course, although this was the case, from the strength Xia Hong showed in the millet collection area of Hekou Village just now, and Jiang Xinfan's attitude toward him at this moment, the three could also guess a lot of things.
"Subordinate Liu Biao, greetings to the Lord!"
"Subordinate Wang Feng, greetings to the Lord!"
Being able to accept two Cold-Resisting level members with 38 mane strength as confidants, strength alone could not do this. Strength, wealth, status, and means, it could be said that all four were indispensable.
It seems that Ji Hong has really been mixing well in Chen Cang for more than three years!
Xia Hong couldn't help but sigh, and his heart became more and more curious, waving his hand: "After this matter is over, don't continue to linger here. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and there are already many Xianyang level experts coming around. Pack up your things and set off for Yan Ling Juncheng first!"
Yan Ling Juncheng, definitely have to go.
See Ji Hong, see the situation in Yan Ling Juncheng, and explore the reality of the Frost Ash Society. In addition, Xia Hong also wanted to know how the aftermath of this Lu He Valley uprising would develop. Will Chen Cang continue to forcibly promote the reform, or will it stop here, and the reform faction will have no voice at all.
The two choices will inevitably lead Chen Cang to completely different paths.
Of course, there is one most important thing. On the 25th of next month, that Yang City invitation letter will take effect. Not only out of curiosity about this mysterious Yang City, but Xia Hong himself also needs to purchase a large batch of cultivation resources. Yang City definitely needs to go in and see.
Not to mention these, try to buy as many things as possible and bring them back to Xia City for research!
"Does the Lord want to enter the city as the Great Qin Prince, or..."
Hearing Jiang Xinfan's question, Xia Hong's brows furrowed slightly, thought for a moment and waved his hand: "No need, I won't stay in Chen Cang for too long. In case Ji Hong's identity is exposed, it won't be good. Arrange a fake identity for me!"
"Subordinate understands!"
Jiang Xinfan has been in Yan Ling City for half a year, and Ji Hong has been here for three years. Both of them definitely have ways to solve the identity problem, so Xia Hong doesn't worry. Seeing that Jiang Xinfan has already arranged it, he looked far away to the west.
In the two hours he and everyone reunited in the Windless Valley, the raging fire in the Lu He millet fields had completely become a trend, stretching for more than twenty kilometers from north to south, with billowing smoke covering the sky and the earth. The sky over the territory of tens of miles had been completely occupied by the ashes of straw burning.
"There is a water source near Hekou Village, but it's a pity that the fire has completely spread. Even if the sluice is opened to release water now, it can't be saved. Chen Cang really lost a lot this time. Reform, it should be impossible to reform..."
Just as Xia Hong was calculating alone, on the other side, Zhang Yuchuan asked Su Xing'er a few questions, and walked to the inside of the mountain valley with an ugly face, calling the two younger sisters on the carriage down.
"Yuchuan, the Lord who lived in our house before, is named Hong Yu?"
Seeing Zhang Yuzhu nod to confirm the answer, Zhang Yuchuan's already ugly face instantly added a few more regrets and bitterness.
Although he didn't go to Hekou Village tonight, he had already learned about all the things that happened in the Hekou branch from others. Xia Hong opened his mouth just now, and he immediately heard it. This was the predecessor who lived in his house.
As for the name Hong Yu, he asked Su Xing'er and the two siblings.
Su Xing'er and the four siblings joined the Frost Ash Society Yan Ling General Branch last year, and like him, they were all people of the Little Dragon Head. Their ages were not much different, so their relationship was quite good.
Great Qin Prince Hong Yu, number one on the Heavenly Ranking, strength comparable to the Jie-body Realm experts of the four feudal towns, the most popular Xianyang level expert in the Moao River at present.
Most importantly, because of serving Ji Hong for a long time, Zhang Yuchuan knew very well that Ji Hong had been searching for Hong Yu's whereabouts, and from the attitude Ji Hong occasionally revealed, this Hong Yu had a very heavy weight in his heart.
Combined with the attitude of Lord Jiang toward Hong Yu just now, and the group of Cold-Resisting level experts that the Little Dragon Head pulled into the Frost Ash Society successively in May this year, calling Hong Yu the Lord, Zhang Yuchuan could also feel a lot at this moment. This Lord is not only powerful in strength but also his identity is definitely not simple.
And he, on the 18th of last month, actually forcibly took the two younger sisters away from the other party's side.
Now recalling his behavior at that time, Zhang Yuchuan wished he could give himself two fierce slaps. He, the big brother, was equivalent to disguisedly cutting off the sky-reaching path of the two younger sisters...
"Grandfather only mentioned Lord Hong in the letter. If I knew he was Lord Hong Yu when he came back, how could I have done such a stupid thing!" ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
