late at night
A horse quickly dashed out from the city gate of Ji County.
He sped into the distance.
behind him
A pair of dark and deep eyes were staring at him.
A strange smile appeared on his face.
He jumped onto his horse and followed.
They passed through a dark path.
Perhaps the rider was tired.
He slowed down and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Thinking of the patriarch's instructions, he instantly stopped slacking off.
Just as he was about to increase his speed…
At the end of the small path.
A figure stood there.
The figure was dressed in a black robe and seemed to have become one with the night.
If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell.
He shuddered.
He suspected that he had seen wrongly. This small path was not used by many people during the day.
Let alone at night.
Did he encounter a ghost?
"Maybe I'm too tired."
He rubbed his eyes and comforted himself.
When he let go, his eyes widened.
He saw that the figure had already arrived in front of him.
Just as he was about to berate her.
A white light flashed past, and he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
His consciousness gradually blurred.
His body fell from the horse and fell heavily to the ground.
He put away the scimitar that was still dripping with blood.
He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood clean.
He bent down and carefully searched the body that was still warm.
A secret letter was found on the chest of the corpse.
Seeing this secret letter.
A smile appeared on the figure's face.
After hastily dealing with the corpse.
He jumped a few times and disappeared from the path.
Inside the Chen Family Courtyard
Chen Kun had not fallen asleep yet. He leaned against the armchair and closed his eyes to rest.
Beside him was the stern-faced First Elder.
Neither of them spoke.
The surroundings were extremely quiet.
It was so quiet that it made people feel a little depressed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Patriarch, it's me."
Chen Kun's eyes snapped open.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open and a man in black walked in.
It was the mysterious figure who had intercepted and killed the rider earlier.
The man in black took off his face cloth and revealed his true appearance.
It turned out to be the eldest of the Jiang brothers who had joined the Chen family not long ago, Jiang Wen.
"Did you find anything?"
Chen Kun asked.
Jiang Wen nodded.
He took out the secret letter from the corpse.
He handed it to Chen Kun respectfully.
The secret letter was well preserved and had not been opened yet.
Obviously, Jiang Wen had not moved.
Chen Kun took the letter and opened it.
The contents of the secret letter made him frown.
gradually
In his eyes, endless anger appeared.
That anger seemed to be about to materialize, making people afraid.
The First Elder beside him naturally sensed it as well.
He was puzzled.
What was the content of the secret letter?
It actually made the usually calm Kun 'er so angry?
Soon, the doubts were resolved.
Chen Kun's face darkened as he handed the secret letter to the First Elder.
First Elder hurriedly checked.
The contents were shocking.
This caused the First Elder's body to tremble.
He gritted his teeth and said,"How dare you bully my Chen family like this!"”
This secret letter was written by the head of the Jiang family to the Black Mountain Bandit.
Yes, you didn't hear wrongly.
The dignified heads of the eight great clans of Ji County actually had dealings with the notorious Black Mountain Bandits.
The secret letter wrote,"From the great leader of the Black Mountain Bandits.”
"It has been more than half a month since our two families joined forces with you to heavily injure Chen Yonghua.”
"I shouldn't have disturbed you any longer, but things have changed. The new head of the Chen family, Chen Kun, has already broken through to the Innate Realm. After Chen Kun, there is also Chen Yongzhi.”
"Chen Yongzhi is an old man with little time left. There's nothing to be afraid of.”
"But Chen Kun is different. He has already reached the Connate Realm at the age of fifteen. His talent is shocking, and I'm afraid he has a chance of reaching the True Core Realm.”
"If we let it go, it will become a huge problem. If Chen Kun finds out that his father plotted to kill us, he will definitely avenge his father.”
"In order to prevent future troubles, I specially invite the chief to gather at the first room of the Elegant Emotion Residence on the evening of the 15th day of the sixth month.”
"We will discuss the strategy to deal with the Chen family. I hope that Chief will arrive on time. It is personally written by the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Teng!”
Jiang Wen was curious about the contents of the letter.
It actually made the two leaders of the Chen family so furious.
However, he did not dare to make a sound.
The current him was not qualified enough.
"Great Elder, do you understand?"
Chen Kun suppressed his emotions and asked calmly.
However, beneath this calm was a terrifying volcano.
It would explode at any moment.
The Great Elder nodded.
He cupped his fists at Chen Kun.
He said fiercely," Family Head, the Zhao and Jiang families have wild ambitions. They actually plotted to murder the Chen Family Head. It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated?!"”
"Patriarch, this old man pleads to kill the two clans and avenge the old patriarch and his clansmen. This old man is willing to be the vanguard!”
Although he had some guesses in his heart.
However, he did not expect the Zhao and Jiang families to be so insidious and shameless!
He actually colluded with the Black Mountain Bandits to deal with his Chen Family.
When Chen Yonghua was in trouble, the Great Elder was still very puzzled.
The route of transporting the goods was clearly kept a secret, so how did the Black Mountain Bandits discover it?
It turned out that the Zhao and Jiang families were behind this.
As for why these two families targeted the Zhao and Jiang families.
The Great Elder could think of it even if he used his butt.
That was because the old head of the Chen family, Chen Yonghua, was about to break through to Xiantian fourth stage.
He would become a mid-stage Connate expert.
If Chen Yonghua really did break through, then their status as one of the Eight Great Clans of Ji County would definitely be lost.
He thought that Chen Kun would nod and agree.
Chen Kun shook his head.
First Elder could not help but feel a little anxious.
"Patriarch, shouldn't we take revenge for this?" he hurriedly said. With your current strength, dealing with these sinister villains is still a piece of cake!”
He had a rough idea of Chen Kun's strength.
Therefore, he was very confident.
If Chen Kun did not have that strength, he would definitely not have said such words.
Although hatred was irreconcilable, if one's strength was not enough.
He would only choose to swallow his anger.
After all, the family was the most important thing!
"It's not that they don't want revenge. Didn't they meet the leader of the Black Mountain Bandits at Elegant Love Residence? This is a good opportunity for our Chen family to capture them all in one fell swoop.”
"Either we don't do it, or we do it to the extreme.”
Chen Kun said in an incomparably cold voice.
After saying that, he didn't wait for First Elder's reaction.
He looked at Jiang Wen.
"Elder Jiang!"
He heard Chen Kun calling out to him.
"What orders do you have, Patriarch?" Jiang Wen hurriedly asked.”
"I asked you to replace the Jiang family's messenger and deliver this letter to the First Leader of the Black Mountain Bandits. I wonder if you have the courage to do so?”
The Black Mountain Bandits were the biggest den of thieves in Ji County.
Their base camp was Black Mountain.
The Black Mountain Bandits had gathered countless outlaws, and there were thousands of experts among them.
The leader of the Black Mountain Bandits, Black Mountain Tiger, was a mid-stage Xiantian expert.
His strength was extremely terrifying.
Even the county government didn't dare to go to the expedition, as long as they didn't go too far.
He just turned a blind eye.
Although Jiang Wen had the cultivation of Houtian ninth stage,
However, if he entered the black mountain and his identity was exposed, he would definitely die without a complete corpse.
He had thought that Jiang Wen would hesitate or even refuse.
However, he did not expect it.
Jiang Wen didn't even think and said firmly,""Jiang Wen is willing to go. I won't disappoint the family head!”
As the saying went, a scholar would die for a confidant!
Since Chen Kun treated him so well, so what if he was in danger?
Chen Kun was a little surprised.
He looked at Jiang Wen's incomparably sincere gaze.
He couldn't help but be moved.
He handed the letter in the Great Elder's hand to Jiang Wen.
She patted him on the shoulder.
He said," Elder Jiang is so loyal to my Chen Family. My Chen Family will definitely not disappoint you. There's no time to lose. You should set off immediately!"”
Jiang Wen nodded.
He took the letter from his hand.
Then, he walked out of the door without hesitation.
Outside the door, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
I'm getting further and further away.
