Chapter 355 Meng made a bet, who killed him! (Two in one)
Several centurions also fell one after another, leading their troops to block this sudden group of people, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
After all, the innate aura of the opponent is so strong that it is difficult to ignore, and there are more than twenty people in total!
While these centurions were thinking about whether to directly release the invader's signal bomb, one of the people in the group took out an order without any nonsense.
There are many patterns engraved on it, and in the center is a large character Meng.
All the soldiers were shocked and immediately put down their weapons.
They all recognized that it was the Meng family's identity token, and the clothes of this group of people were indeed our children.
"Where is Master Yang Banner?" the older man holding the token said.
His voice was silent, but it turned into sound waves that gradually spread layer by layer, easily spreading throughout the entire city lord's palace and inside.
A few breaths later, Yang Zhen, Song Changming, Xing Tiexin and others landed in this yard one after another.
"I've met Senior Meng Yuan." Yang Zhen's eyes fell on the leader, his expression changed slightly, and he cupped his hands.
Judging from the change in Yang Zhen's expression, Song Changming had no doubt that the leader in front of him had a high status in the Meng family.
Wearing a jade crown on his head, he has a few wrinkles on his face, but he is not as old as Zhao Liang.
"Tell me clearly how my brother died!" Meng Yuan's face was expressionless, but his voice was full of emotion.
Obviously his heart is not as peaceful as his face.
Song Changming also quickly understood that the leader of the Meng family who arrived was actually Meng Jianli's brother.
The innate Qi of the other party is released, and the aura is extremely strong and full of oppressive force.
Song Changming felt deeply that the elder brother of Meng Jianli in front of him was actually a top expert who had opened up the nine martial arteries and reached the realm of innate perfection!
Yang Zhen made it clear before and after Meng Jianli was assassinated by a disguised Huali slave demon, but Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang were not revealed for the time being.
Meng Yuan listened silently, his breath becoming a little unstable.
The surrounding energy also became chaotic. Flowers and grass in the yard were flying, the floor tiles were broken, and the gravel was disturbed by the energy magnetic field and levitated one meter above the ground.
The rest of the Meng clan members who arrived looked at each other and remained silent, not wanting to get into trouble at this time.
"Uncle." Meng Shuxuan arrived suddenly.
Meng Yuan's aura had just stabilized, and the chaotic energy around him dissipated.
"Xuan'er." Meng Yuan sighed with a sad look on his face.
"Uncle is late."
Meng Shuxuan pursed her lips and said: "Uncle, mother is waiting for you."
"Okay, take me there." Meng Yuan nodded. .
Watching the group of people go away, Song Changming looked away.
"It's okay, at least he didn't anger us, so he's not a rude person." Xing Tiexin said softly from the side.
"This Meng Yuan is not simple. He also has a lot of say in the Meng family. Maybe we can work on him." Yang Zhen said.
He didn’t know Meng Jianli, but he knew who Meng Yuan was.
In a house, Meng Yuan looked at Meng Jianli's body in the coffin, clenching his fists.
"Brother"
"Xuan'er, are everything you said true?"
In the lobby, Meng Shuxuan stood behind Meng Yuan with cold eyes.
"I saw with my own eyes that the Zhao family colluded with the demon clan."
"I know." Meng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Outside the house.
Song Changming walked into the lobby at this time, attracting the attention of many Meng clan members present.
"Senior Meng Yuan, the city lord left me a letter before he left, specifically asking me to take it back to the Meng family and hand it over to you personally."
Song Changming directly stated his intention and handed over the suicide note given to him by Meng Jianli.
Meng Jianli is undoubtedly a thoughtful person.
I have long been worried about the possibility of something unexpected happening to me one day, so I have always prepared a letter like this, explaining many things behind my life.
Before Meng Jianli died, he did not have time to explain who he would give it to, but at this time, Song Changming felt that giving it to the person in front of him was a good choice.
Because of this letter, the eyes of many Meng clan members present towards Song Changming changed.
After all, Meng Jianli was willing to entrust the letter to Song Changming before his death, which is enough to show that Song Changming was at least someone whom Meng Jianli could trust during his lifetime.
Meng Yuan took the envelope, opened it and looked at it.
There are several pieces of letter paper, and it can be seen that Meng Jianli did explain a lot of things.
After reading the letter, Meng Yuan was quite moved. After a long time, he exhaled and looked at Song Changming.
"Thank you."
"My condolences." Song Changming shook his head and said.
"You are the General Song that Xuan'er mentioned, can you lend me a moment?" Meng Yuan then said suddenly.
"Okay." Song Changming agreed, thinking that the other party already knew about Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang.
The two of them left the lobby and came to a small, deserted courtyard.
"You killed Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang. You should also know that Zhao will never let you go." Meng Yuan said straightforwardly.
“Killing or not killing is the same.” Song Changming said as he stood two steps behind Meng Yuan.
"Indeed, you have no retreat. You must confront the Zhao family." Meng Yuan nodded.
Song Changming didn't say much. He saw that the powerful man from the aristocratic family in front of him was not a meandering person, so he simply waited for Meng Yuan's next words.
He also knew that what was said next was the key point.
It depends on the other party's attitude towards this matter.
"I can help you." Meng Yuan turned around and looked directly at Song Changming. As expected, he did not beat around the bush.
“Even letting the Meng family stand on your side on this matter, but there is a prerequisite.”
“Senior, please speak.”
“Xuan’er said You killed that old guy Zhao Liang alone. To be honest, I didn't see it with my own eyes. I really don't believe it. If you can block my sword, you can convince me." Meng Yuan said.
Song Changming clearly understood that the reason why the other party was willing to help him was largely because he killed Zhao Liang alone.
This achievement is really amazing.
He does not have the Qi refining cultivation level of the Innate Perfection realm, but he has the combat strength of the Innate Perfection level.
With such a talented person, Meng Yuan doesn’t mind trying his best to get some.
Of course, the premise is that inspection is required.
Does Song Changming really have the strength and potential to do this?
"Okay." Song Changming agreed.
"Then here, do you need to prepare?" Meng Yuan pulled out one of his swords and asked.
“You can do it at any time.” Song Changming had already used all the armor seals.
The other party is also a strong man in the innate perfection state, so he cannot be too powerful. "Okay!" Meng Yuan was not polite and thrust out a sword energy.
The sword energy was like a beam of strong light, hitting Song Changming's abdomen in an instant.
It is not a key position. If Song Changming cannot take it, it will not be fatal.
This sword energy was so condensed that even if it fell on Song Changming, it did not cause much movement, and it did not even cause a too violent energy shock in the courtyard. It was obviously Meng Yuan's intention.
Don’t want to attract too much attention.
puff!
There was a slight sound of flesh tearing, and a small bloody gash appeared on Song Changming's abdomen.
Song Changming was injured, but that was it. The injury was not serious. Even Song Changming's body did not shake due to the sword, and he still stood firmly in place.
After a few breaths, no movement was seen from Song Changming, and the wound stopped bleeding on its own and gradually healed.
“No use of Gang Qi to protect the body, pure flesh and blood to resist, amazing body training results!”
Meng Yuan knew how powerful his sword was, and seeing it with his own eyes as Song Changming blocked it with his body so lightly and calmly, he was quite moved.
Especially after seeing Song Changming’s self-healing ability.
This treasure-level body, in his eyes, is truly flawless and rare in the world.
Only with this body of flesh and blood, he is indeed qualified to compete with the strong men in the innate perfection state, and even has the possibility of killing him.
Even if this person's Qi refining cultivation is not enough It's just about opening up the four martial arteries.
Thoughts flashed through Meng Yuan's mind, and he basically recognized Song Changming's extraordinary immediate combat ability.
"I will help you to the best of my ability. This is my promise." Meng Yuan put away his sword and said.
"Senior, what do you need me to do?" Song Changming said seriously.
I always felt that Meng Yuan’s promise to help him was too easy.
This trip into troubled waters is no small matter. It is about offending the Zhao family, and the implications are huge.
Even if Meng Yuan is backed by the Meng family, which is also a top family, at the family level, is Song Changming really worth offending the Zhao family in this way?
"This is what I promised you, and I will not go back on it. If you have any concerns, then just think you owe me Meng a favor." Meng Yuan walked out, walking as he did. Said.
"Besides, for me personally, you helped my brother before, so I can't just sit back and do nothing this time."
Meng Yuan said and left the yard.
It can be seen that the death of Meng Jianli still made him feel depressed, and he did not want to talk more.
What he said was Song Changming's help when Meng Jianli first took office in Maple City.
Song Changming was not sure whether what the other party said was sincere. After all, this was the first time they met and talked, and they did not know much about this super powerful man from a noble family.
But no matter what, Meng Yuan agreed to help this time, but Song Changming actually didn't pay anything.
No matter whether the other party regrets it or not, he has nothing to lose.
After that, the Meng clan who arrived took over Maple City and let one person temporarily take over the position of city lord, so as not to leave all the officials in the city without a leader, and try their best to ensure the development and operation of Maple City without causing chaos. .
This temporary city lord will not be removed until the new city lord's transfer order is issued in the main city.
And Yang Zhen, Song Changming and others also received notice from the military department and were about to return.
Meng Jianli’s family members also returned together, including Meng Shuxuan with the golden-winged roc.
On the other side, the core area of the main city, Zhao Mansion.
In a courtyard with pleasant scenery and great style, the atmosphere seems particularly dull at the moment.
"Zhao Liang is really dead?" A disheveled old man walked into the courtyard and his old voice came out.
“I have met the Zhao Lie clan elder.”
When several people in the courtyard saw this old man arriving, they all stood up and bowed.
This also includes the contemporary head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi.
"Bo Qi, tell me." Zhao Lie put his hands behind his hands and looked at the head of the Zhao family.
Zhao Boqi sighed, with a serious look on his face, and nodded: "It is true."
"Zhao Liang, I thought he could live to the end of his life." At this time, another old voice came from outside the hospital. Floated in.
Looking carefully, another white-haired old man came in.
“I’ve met Mr. Lei Clan.” Everyone in the courtyard immediately bowed and greeted him respectfully.
"Bo Qi, how did that guy die?" Zhao Xinlei asked.
"He was killed outside." Zhao Boqi shared the information he got.
However, in just a few days, Zhao Boqi was able to learn the fate of Zhao Liang and Zhao Zun, as well as a series of things that happened between them. This shows that the Zhao family's intelligence network is also quite powerful.
Of course, on the other hand, Zhao Liang took Zhao Zun to find Song Changming and the others to settle matters. In fact, other people in the family knew about this matter.
Only on the surface, those who knew about this matter were trying to give Zhao Liang face and keep covering him.
It wasn't until the news of Zhao Liang's death came back that they couldn't sit still and were summoned by the family one after another. Finally, the news reached the ears of the family head.
Zhao Boqi also knew the cause and effect of this incident.
“Hmph, a bunch of old bones are really useless. They can’t even beat a junior. Instead, they lost their lives and brought shame to the family. The crime is even worse!”
Again! A gust of wind blew, and at some point a third old man appeared in the courtyard. He spoke sharply and was rude to the dead.
“I’ve seen the Tong clan elder!”
When the descendants of the family saw the tall and thin appearance of the visitor, their hearts skipped a beat.
Sure enough, this matter will alarm this clan elder!
It can be seen from the changes in the expressions of these descendants of the Zhao family that the third clan elder who appeared has greater prestige within the clan.
"This time, let the descendants of Zhao Liang's lineage bear the responsibility for the crime, and we must not take it lightly!" Zhao Butong said this, and his eyes fell on the family leader Zhao Boqi, obviously speaking specifically to him, the family leader. Listen.
Zhao Boqi took a few steps forward and did not respond as he did in the past. Instead, he shook his head and sighed: "His son Zhao Zun also died this time."
"Zhao Zun? I have some problems. The impression seems to be that he is Zhao Liang's most proud son." Zhao Lie thought for a moment and recalled Zhao Zun's appearance.
"Zhao Zun is also dead? This is really true." Zhao Xinlei didn't know what to say for a while.
If we add Zhao Linxin who died a few years ago, the most important direct bloodline of Zhao Liang has died all over in just a few years.
Even Zhao Butong, the elder of the clan who was most dissatisfied with Zhao Liang, when he learned about this incident, he gave up the idea of harshly criticizing him and asked in a deep voice.
“Who did it?”
“The same person, the commander of the No. 41 Banner Army, Song Changming.” Zhao Boqi said solemnly.
"General?" The wrinkles on Zhao Xinlei's face became deeper and more lined.
"No matter how bad Zhao Liang was, he would not end up being killed by an army general. This doesn't make sense. Is there any other hidden story?" clan elder Zhao Lie questioned.
"To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I first learned about this news. However, this is a fact. This is true for many sources of information. It is basically unmistakeable!" Zhao Boqi said a little awkwardly.
In the courtyard, senior deacon Zhao Juchang, who had been standing with his hands down, suddenly spoke out.
“The head of the family, several clan elders, according to the latest news, the team of the general is already on the way back to resume his life.”
Seeing that all the big guys in the family were looking over, Zhao Juchang paused before continuing to ask.
"Should we intercept and strangle him so that he cannot return to the main city?"
