Chapter 85 Tragedy! The Decline of the Huangfu Family

…

The battle at Luoying Gorge.

Although it was a secret confrontation, other than the few participating families, no one else knew about it.

However, the undercurrent is surging and the changes in the pattern seem to have just begun.

These days.

The news in Changning Wei that Patriarch Hua Ye was seriously injured and on the verge of death was suddenly spread by some thoughtful people, causing a lot of noise and different opinions.

It is said that Patriarch Hua Ye unfortunately encountered a fifth-level ferocious beast when he went to explore the outside world to seek opportunities. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered losses. Hua Ye's ancestor was injured and escaped again, and his life was in danger.

Some people say that Patriarch Hua Ye had a rift with the Jiaolong Gang and had a fierce battle with the famous master Sikou Luoxia, the deputy leader of the Jiaolong Gang, in which both sides suffered losses.

Someone else said...

There are no less than five or six versions of the "rumors" about Patriarch Hua Ye's battles with various masters.

In short, everyone said they had noses and eyes, as if they were seen in person. The only thing these versions have in common is that Patriarch Hua Ye was seriously injured and dying. If he couldn't control his injuries, he might die one day.

As the two major celestial families of Changning and Wei, the Huangfu family was naturally furious when faced with so many unfavorable "rumors".

While they came forward to "refute the rumors," they also sent their clan members and even hired many casual cultivators to "put out the fire" everywhere. They even beat and warned several groups of people who were discussing the matter.

They tried to extinguish and suppress the rumors in this simple and crude way.

It's a pity that if they are still at the powerful level of covering the sky with one hand, once they get really angry, not even the Heavenly Man Lei will be willing to get into trouble.

But in this matter, the real manipulator behind the scenes was Wang Shouzhe.

As early as in his previous life on earth, although he was not an experienced melon-eater, he had been passively exposed to it for a long time and was well versed in the various insidious tricks.

Soon, "fires" broke out everywhere in Changning Guard, and all kinds of "revelations" with noses and eyes were released one after another.

For example, the Huangfu family was domineering and bullying.

Another example is that the head of the family, Huangfu Jinhuan, oppressed the declining aristocratic family and used his power to steal two Zhimai clan members to serve as concubines.

One after another, the "scandals" seem to reveal the "dirty" and "stinking" scenes of the Changning Huangfu family under the glamorous appearance, which makes people "amazed".

It turns out that this dignified family of heaven and humans has such virtue?

The Daqian imperial court ordered the aristocratic family to develop and take control of the country, and help the imperial court stabilize the country and the people. Instead of letting them dominate the local area and oppress good people.

In this way, the imperial court has certain requirements for the conduct and behavior of aristocratic families. If it really causes public dissatisfaction, at least it will be reprimanded by the subordinates, at worst it will be lowered in rank, and in the worst case it will be deprived of the imperial seal of the noble family.

Just when the Huangfu clan was in a state of panic, the Heavenly Man Lei clan gave them another heavy blow.

After Patriarch Lei "heard" that Patriarch Hua Ye was injured, he personally hired Dr. Gu Hanyugu, the best physician in Changning Guard, to diagnose Patriarch Hua Ye.

Gu Hanyu was born as a wandering cultivator. She is different from other wandering cultivators in that she is a wandering cultivator with a unique wandering medical heritage.

Originally, she was not at Changning Health Clinic, but because of the severe floods this year, Zifu Academy specially invited her to come and control the epidemic. She is kind-hearted and often sends her disciples to treat refugees for free, so she has an excellent reputation.

In addition, in addition to medicine, she is also good at making elixirs and is known as an expert in elixirs and medicine.

Although she is only at the middle level of Lingtai Realm, she has a great reputation among the Changning Guards, and many of her fans are influential figures. In terms of pure reputation, he is only under the two Heavenly Ancestors and the Xiahou City Guards.

Almost on par with Wang Shouzhe and Beichen Patriarch.

She took action to diagnose Patriarch Hua Ye, making it impossible for Patriarch Hua Ye to avoid him or not. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he simply asked her to diagnose and treat him. At least Gu Hanyu's medical skills were unmatched by anyone in the Changning Guard.

The diagnosis also gave Huangfu a mixture of joy and sorrow. Gu Hanyu's action did alleviate Patriarch Hua Ye's injury.

But she said that Patriarch Hua Ye's injuries were due to the intrusion of the alien sword energy from the Purple Mansion Realm into his body, and the use of secret techniques to force his escape, which caused great consequences.

With her ability, which means she can slightly relieve the suppression, it will be difficult to drive out the alien sword energy in just a few decades.

The best way is to go to Zifu Academy to seek treatment. I am afraid that Master Changchun of Changchun Valley will need to personally treat him, so that he can be cured in just a few years.

And it is best not to do anything during this period, otherwise the injury will be deepened and life span will most likely be affected.

For the Huangfu family, this was a glimmer of hope. The problem is that Changchun Master is a well-known old Zifu, but how can Zifu easily get online?

What's more, even if Master Changchun is willing to help, it will take several years. How could he not express it?

However, Patriarch Hua Ye is the backbone of the entire Huangfu family. For the Huangfu family to be able to achieve great success, there are many families who have secretly suppressed and offended many families. If something goes wrong with the ancestor, then the entire Huangfu family will be in disaster.

The true situation of Patriarch Hua Ye's injury soon spread "accidentally" throughout Changning Guard. Just as Huangfu was worried, some aristocratic families and forces that had been suppressed and bullied were beginning to make moves.

Especially where conflicts of interest are involved, the attitudes of those aristocratic families who were once tolerant have gradually become stronger.

This is a bad sign.

For the Huangfu family, this is a dilemma. If we choose to suppress it forcefully, it will most likely arouse public anger and force everyone to unite. How can we suppress it without the ancestor? What's more, there may be families such as the Tianren Lei family and the Ping An Wang family who are secretly causing trouble.

But if you choose to give in, you may fall into a situation of retreating one step at a time. If you retreat step by step, there will be no bottom line.

Therefore, there was only one way for Huangfu to go, and that was to send his ancestor to Zifu Academy for medical treatment. As long as the ancestor is cured, all difficulties will be solved.

…

During this tumultuous time.

Changning Acropolis Guard Xia Hou Hongde came back from his duty report. He was in a good mood. He was praised by his superiors for his outstanding performance in timely relief work. I'm afraid there will be opportunities for promotion next time I'm transferred.

But as soon as he returned to Changning Guard, he was immediately confused. Who is he, where is he, what happened? How come he only left Changning Guard for a month and the entire Changning Guard fell into a whirlpool?

Faced with the rumors, Xiahou Hongde was very angry, and all the aristocratic families in the Acropolis appeared to be very obedient. But privately, each one is more unscrupulous and arrogant than the other.

With such overt and covert fighting stirring up the situation, do you still take him as a city guard seriously?

Especially Wang Shouzhe!

Could it be that he was deceiving him that Xiahou Hongde was a fool? Among them, there must be the head and tail of that kid.

Immediately, Xiahou Hongde, who was a little angry, was about to order someone to call Wang Shouzhe over. He had to question the boy face to face. Can he be asked to finish the last two or three years and leave office peacefully?

But as soon as this thought arose, he was quickly suppressed by himself.

Wang Shouzhe's situation has become so bad that even if he is called over to scold you, it will only be a superficial promise to you. He probably doesn't miss any of the actions he should take in private.

Moreover, that boy was extremely thorough in his work. It was almost impossible to give him any official excuse. It was not easy to embarrass him. With Wang Shouzhe's ability, he might not be able to hold it down.

That’s all!

If you don't leave office in two or three years, why bother to make things difficult for Wang?

If they want to fight, let them do it. As long as he doesn't commit murder in broad daylight, he can only turn a blind eye.

…

Time flew by.

One month later.

The famous Zifu Academy in Longzuo County is still as grand and solemn as ever.

Even if it is not the academic season, there is still an endless stream of people from all walks of life outside the gate of Zifu Academy.

The largest number are the wandering cultivators from all over the country. They all have a dream, hoping that they can be favored by Zifu Academy and change their fate after joining the academy. There are some casual cultivators with good qualifications among them.

However, Zifu Academy naturally has its own rules for accepting students. If a casual cultivator wants to join Zifu Academy, the conditions are extremely harsh. One must prove one's origins, have documents from a Wei-level official and a County-level official, and must have a corresponding aristocratic family as a guarantee.

Under such conditions, naturally only a few qualified, and then they had to be assessed and selected again. Therefore, if you are a casual cultivator, it will be difficult to join the Zifu Academy.

The Academy prefers to find students from high-ranking families with clean financial status. After all, high-ranking families are well-established. The family span can be as long as one or two hundred years, or as long as thousands of years, and the ancestors can be traced for many generations.

This is also to prevent hostile forces from undercover.

Of course, it is impossible for aristocratic families to be completely innocent, and there is also the possibility of treason and treason. But once it is found out, the entire family will be destroyed, and all the clan members will be implicated.

Therefore, aristocratic families are far more reliable than casual cultivators and are more difficult to penetrate.

In addition to casual cultivators, other major forces, families, etc., will come to Zifu Academy, some seeking services, some visiting relatives, and some with business partners like Qian.

These people can only register and live in the outer courtyard to wait for arrangements.

This day.

In a house in the outer courtyard, the Huangfu family who came for medical treatment lived here. In addition to the accompanying family generals, there were also several important clan members who accompanied Patriarch Hua Ye who came to seek medical treatment.

Among them, the most important one is an elder named Huangfu Cheng Peng.

He is the father of the contemporary head of the family, Huangfu Jinhuan. He is now in his eighties and has served as the head of the family for a while to get some training.

Now his status in the family is second only to ancestor Hua Ye. There is no other reason, but Huangfu Pengcheng is the seed of Huangfu's contemporary celestial being. At a young age, he has already reached the peak of the middle stage of Lingtai realm, and is only half a step away from the later stage.

Huangfu Pengcheng's most important task is not to deal with family affairs, but to focus on cultivation and strive to break through the realm of heaven and human as soon as possible at the minimum cost to complete the transition between heaven and man.

With such cultivation at such a young age, he is still a core disciple even in the academy. This time, interrupting his retreat and asking him to accompany his ancestor was just to keep up his appearance.

Those in Zifu Academy usually treat outstanding talents with high regard and courtesy.

today.

A cheerful man's voice came from outside the door of Huangfu's temporary residence: "Is Brother Pengcheng here?"

Huangfu Pengcheng, who was serving his ancestor, looked happy and hurriedly ran out of the door. He bowed his hands to the visitor and said, "Pengcheng has seen Brother Jinshan and asked you to sit in the room. I have prepared a class." Spiritual tea.”

His attitude towards Senior Brother Jinshan was very respectful and kind, because this time he was asking for help from others. Secondly, this "Senior Brother Jinshan" is not yet sixty years old, and is a strong man in the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm. He is a core disciple of the Changchun Valley lineage, and he is also a core disciple who specializes in handling many chores.

How dare Huangfu Pengcheng look down on such a big man? Therefore, he spent a lot of connections and money to get through to this senior brother Jinshan, and made friends with him, hoping that through him he could seek to see Master Changchun.

"Well..." Senior Brother Jinshan, who still looked the same as before, said with a serious face this time, "I won't drink the spirit tea. This time I came here to inform Brother Pengcheng of something."

Huangfu Pengcheng was also a person who had served as the head of the family. Hearing these words, his heart immediately "thumped". I had fallen in love with this senior brother Jinshan before, and after trying to find a way to make friends, the two sides have become very close.

Now he doesn't even want to go into the courtyard to drink tea. Maybe things have taken a bad turn.

as expected.

Senior Brother Jinshan coughed twice and said: "I said before that I would introduce you to my master, but I, Jinshan, am a little greedy for merit. I don't want to respect his master, but he suddenly went into seclusion. I will take all the things that brother Pengcheng gave me. Give it back to you."

With that said, he took out a storage ring and stuffed it back into Huangfu Pengcheng's hands.

Huangfu Pengcheng panicked and said hurriedly: "Brother Jinshan, how long does the Master need to be in seclusion? We can wait!"

"How do I know how long Master will be in seclusion?" Senior Brother Jinshan said perfunctorily with some dissatisfaction, "It may be five or six years in the short term, or dozens of years in the long term. I don't dare to ask casual questions about the Master's affairs. Farewell."

As he said this, he ignored Huangfu Pengcheng's attempts to stay. After being perfunctory, Senior Brother Jinshan left as if running away.

Huangfu Pengcheng's heart suddenly became cold to the core.

This, this, this, senior brother Jinshan was very enthusiastic before, patting his chest and saying that he would definitely help with things. But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened in the blink of an eye.

What happened and what to do?

In a position where Huangfu Pengcheng couldn't see him, Brother Jinshan turned a few corners as soon as he went out. I met a girl wearing a purple dress, who looked quiet, well-behaved and beautiful. She was as clean and pure as a girl next door.

But as soon as Senior Brother Jinshan saw her, a trace of fear and fear suddenly flashed in his eyes. It's not that he can't beat this girl, but that her reputation within Zifu Academy is already a bit scary now, even worse than the other one.

The most important thing is that she is Wang Shouzhe's sister! He couldn't afford to offend Junior Brother Shouzhe.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Jinshan." The girl saluted respectfully, and took out a few bottles of spiritual honey and stuffed it in. "These bottles of Baihua Spiritual Honey are my little gift, please don't refuse, Senior Brother Jinshan. "

This girl is, of course, Wang Luojing, the fifth daughter of the Wang family.

Senior brother Jinshan hurriedly took the Baihua Lingmi and said with a flattered look: "Junior sister Luo Jing, don't be polite, Shouzhe and I are from the same sect. If you don't know, that's all. If you know the inside story, how can you help the evildoers?" Matter? But this matter must be kept secret, after all, I am suspected of participating in the family fight. "

These few small bottles of Baihua Lingmi are less than a hundred compared to the benefits given by Huangfu. But Senior Brother Jinshan is still very happy. This little female devil seems quiet, but she has always been cold and cold, and she has never been polite to all Senior Brothers.

"Senior Brother Jinshan, you are such a good person." Wang Luojing smiled lightly and said gratefully, "When several of our senior students from Wandie Valley told me about Senior Brother Jinshan, they all said that he is a warm-hearted and good person."

The senior sister from Wandie Valley?

Senior Brother Jinshan suddenly became energetic and asked: "Which senior is so discerning? Yes, I, Jinshan, am a good person. Junior Sister Luojing, tell me your name, and I will come back to visit you with gifts." "

"..." Wang Luojing was speechless for a while.
