Amidst the crying and singing of Sanskrit, Zhao Chenghuang opened the newly arrived Feige's letter, and just swept the room, put the paper on the candlelight and burned it clean. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the man who was delivering the note: "Lin Jing, you will take someone here this time, be sure to bring Li Ling's head back to me."

Xue Linjing frowned slightly: "Elder, aren't Hong Si and others already attached to Li Ling and others? As long as they take action, will the matter be done?"

"No, they may not have this ability. Although Li Ling is just a scholar, there is a force behind him that cannot be underestimated, at least we cannot get rid of it at will. Do you still remember the incident in Xuzhou last year? It was because he was too careless and failed to kill him, which made several brothers in the sect die inexplicably.

"For the past year, I have been sending people to stare around Li Ling, but I still couldn't find out what hidden forces he was involved in. Those people in the Cao Gang should not have such ability."

"But... our big thing is about to take place, and I am worried that something will happen when I leave." Xue Linjing still hesitated.

Zhao Chenghuang stared at his eyes and his expression became serious: "This is my order, and this is also a great gift to the young master. Soon, my Luotian Sect will rise up on the wind, and the young master is the key. Do you understand what I mean?"

When he stared at him, Xue Linjing couldn't help but feel cold, and he quickly clasped his fists: "I understand, I'll take ten masters of the sect to chase after him!"

Zhao Chenghuang's expression then calmed down and he patted his shoulder: "That's right. And don't underestimate your own business. Li Ling's whereabouts this time are strange. Maybe he knew something would happen in southern Yunnan and went to disrupt the situation, so killing him early is also a big deal! Go, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back to celebrate the merits."

Xue Linjing bent down again and clasped his fists, ensuring that he would complete the task, so he turned around and left. After watching him leave, Zhao Chenghuang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and muttered softly: "Li Ling..."

He really didn't expect that the young scholars who had had close contact with him in Hengzhou Fucheng and had friction with his young master would become court officials in just one year, and it was so difficult to deal with. A group of religious believers who were sent to assassinate before were killed in a mess and exposed their identities, which made the entire Luotian Sect very nervous and passive.

This made him become more cautious in the following year, only letting the believers pay attention nearby and not daring to take any further adventures, but in this way, he found nothing. It was not until ten days ago that he received a letter from Fei Ge from the capital that he knew that Li Ling had left the country and had only three people with him that he decided to take the opportunity to assassinate him.

Because now Li Ling's existence is not only the young master's heart disease, but also a hidden danger to the entire Luotian Sect. So this time he did not hesitate to send Xue Linjing, the strongest and most trustworthy person around him, and he must get rid of this person!

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chenghuang got up and went out and came to the yard. The chanting and crying in front became clearer. This made him smile coldly at first, then he changed into a sad expression and staggered to the front yard, which was in front of the hall where the rituals were being performed.

In the mourning hall that was decorated with white clothes, many women in the Ji family knelt in front of a huge nanmu coffin, and at the forefront was Ji Wuyou, the only grandson of the Ji family. At this time, Master Ji no longer had the gaze of the Yang she had as she had been more than a year ago, and was full of sadness and helplessness. He didn't know what to do except cry.

Because in just over a year, too many changes occurred in the Ji family - first, the old man in the backbone of the family suddenly died of serious illness, which is actually normal, after all, he is already eighty-three.

But the old man's body was not cold, and the other two pillars in the family, namely Ji Wuyou's two uncles, were also sick one after another, and then passed away one after another after the beginning of spring this year. Now, the Ji family, which was already not strong, was really shaky, and everything was supported by Ji Wuyou's father.

It is also because of this that Ji Wuyou failed the exam again in the following mansion examination, so now he is still just a child, but he has not even won the fame of a scholar.

However, compared with the tragic incident that followed, this is nothing. Because just half a month ago, Ji Wuyou's father was robbed by bandits while going out for business. When he reported to the government and went to save people, he found only his body.

In other words, in just one year, the men who were in charge of the Ji family died one after another, and now there is only one male Ji Wuyou who is a young man who is still a little bitch-alt-all-over, although his two uncles have also become families, only their daughters can be raised. He is a real seedling in a thousand acres of land. Everything in the family naturally falls on this young man who was just a scholarly playboy before.

But now, he has no other thoughts except sadness. He always feels that everything is so unreal, just like a nightmare, as if as long as he wakes up, everything can be restored to its original state.

"Young Master, Young Master..." The familiar call finally made Ji Wuyou feel a little bit. He turned his head blankly and looked at Zhao Chenghuang who was approaching him, and said helplessly: "Uncle Huang, just do whatever you want. I don't know anything now, I don't want to know anything..."

"Young Master, I know that the death of the Master makes you very sad, but if our Ji family wants to stabilize, we must have a master of the family stand up. Now no one can do it except you."

"What about you? Are you not the manager of our Ji family?" Ji Wuyou said in a stern voice.

Zhao Chenghuang shook his head gently: "I can't. After all, you are the head of the family now. Any businessman who has business dealings with our Ji family will only discuss business with the real owner."

"But I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

"I can't learn, I'm there." Zhao Chenghuang looked at him with sincerity and concern, "I believe in the young master's ability. It won't take long to support the whole family."

After a while of silence, Ji Wuyou, who was kneeling there, finally nodded: "Okay, I am the only male member of the Ji family now, so I should take on everything."

A happy smile flashed on Zhao Chenghuang's face: "Then let's start with hosting the funeral tomorrow and then calling the officials and businessmen in Pingjiang County. I will help the young master little by little and teach you how to deal with the matters afterwards."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, this time it's really thanks to you."

Faced with his gratitude, Zhao Chenghuang just smiled, patted his shoulder, and then got up and left the hall. Although he was in charge of the Ji family, he was only an outsider after all, and he was not qualified to attend such a funeral. But he didn't mind, and his eyes were only locked on Ji Wuyou for a while, and then left quietly.

Soon, he will let the young master return and let the Luotian Sect truly rise!

...

The night is deep, with stars but no moon.

With the gust of wind, the river water surged upwards, slapped on the river bank, and five or six ships that had been stationed at the ferry were rolling.

However, the ferry was still quiet, and the people who had already rested on the boat did not come out to see what happened. Naturally, no one would find that there were more than a dozen black shadows swimming towards a small passenger ship located on the southernmost side of several ships. In just a while, they had reached the bottom of the ship. Within a few gestures, the few people sank at the same time and reached the bottom of the ship.

At the same time, six people on the passenger ship, including the boatman, were gathering together, whispering something.

"It has been three days since the news was sent back. Why is the elder still not responding? I am worried that we have been seen through by those guys. Then I will find a way to get rid of us, but it will be troublesome."

"Lao Liu, you are so ambitious. A scholar with three followers can still detect our tracking? If I see, they would never think that they would be targeted by us."

"It's hard to say. Their ship stopped at the ferry for half a day for no reason that day, and I felt something strange. Do you think this is testing us? Fourth brother, what do you say?"

Hong Si, who was dressed as a boatman, was really wary when he heard this: "What you said is not unreasonable. Before coming, the elder warned me that Li Ling was not simple and should not underestimate him. If you are not careful, you might even capsize the ship in the gutter."

"Since that's the case, let's just start?" Another person's eyes flashed and he suggested.

Hong Si immediately denied: "No! Our mission is to follow them and leave marks along the way, and just wait for the masters in the sect to arrive before killing them all. Now we are rash, what if there are really good players among the others? Moreover, here is a ferry head with many eyes, and then we will be in a town. If someone accidentally saw him and reported to the official, we will be in trouble."

"Is that stiff?"

"Wait a little longer, I believe that the elders will send people to come soon, and they are about to get ashore. When we get ashore, we will have a greater grasp of our actions."

The few people didn't say anything. In fact, they were not very good at water. If they really wanted to ride a boat and attack, they were really afraid that they would be escaped.

Just as Hong Siyi waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to rest, suddenly the ears of several people were moving, and there were already a few dull sounds coming from below: "What's the movement?" Their faces changed, and their hands were pressed on the weapons they carried.

But before they could react correctly, the dong dong sound had become extremely fast and loud. Then with a crisp sound of Kara, the board they stood up shattered.
