Chapter 360 The Entire Xia Family Is Full of Ghosts
As the former commander of Zuowei, Song Lian was urgently transferred to the northern battlefield due to the war between the Liang Dynasty and the Yao clan. Therefore, Zuowei's current commander has become the Chen Dynasty. While everyone was looking forward to Song Lian's return, no one knew that the former left-back commander had actually returned to the divine capital quietly.
The guardian looked at Song Lian and said with a smile, "Since you want to say that, then I will recruit you into the guardian's yamen now as a small yamen servant?"
After hearing this, Song Lian immediately grimaced and said, "Lord Guardian, it doesn't make sense, right? With a new person, do you have to forget me, the old person?"
The guard envoy looked ahead and just said to himself, "According to the Northern General, I am very satisfied with you Song Lian. Why don't you stay in the Northern Territory? Just take two steps forward and wait." If you step into that realm, you might be able to directly take over the position of the general. By then, the two of us will be considered equals, right?"
Listening to his boss teasing him like this, Song Lian laughed and said, "How dare you? Your subordinate's life is to serve you."
The guard smiled and said nothing. After all, these words were not true. The general of the Northern Territory was indeed in his old age and would not live long. For the entire deployment of the Northern Territory, the entire Liang Dynasty did not have a suitable candidate. Song Lian did have a chance to shine in the Northern Border Army. After all, he had fought in the Northern Border Army before, and he was familiar with it. In addition, his talent was not low. It would take ten years to Is it possible to reach that realm in eight years? Yes.
What the future holds then is indeed unknown.
The guardian patted Song Lian on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "No matter how talented that kid is, he still has to spend time growing up. You might be able to take over from me in a few years." 🄲
Song Lian was startled, but there wasn't much emotion on his face.
However, he quickly changed the question and asked, "The Xia family has a great business. Are you going to completely uproot it today?"
The guardian glanced at Song Lian and said, "Do you think I want to uproot such a big family whenever I want?"
Although he was the guardian of the Liang Dynasty and had great authority, how could it be so easy to uproot such a big family with a deep foundation in the Liang Dynasty?
The influence of this kind of aristocratic family is intertwined. Under the surface, there are countless connections. Once it is pulled out, how many things will be involved. I am afraid that no official in the Liang Dynasty has this ability.
Song Lian smiled and said, "Others may not have this ability, but I think you can do it, sir."
The guard turned his head and glanced at Song Lian, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't have time to flatter him, don't flatter him blindly."
Song Lian choked and muttered, "It doesn't look like he's as good as that kid."
The guardian heard this, but ignored it. He just said, "You heard the previous arrangement. If something goes wrong later, I will cut off your head."
Song Lian said solemnly, "I understand."
After saying these words, the guard walked down the tall building and walked slowly towards the Xia family's house over there alone.
Not long after, in the wind and snow, the guard came to the Xia family's middle gate alone.
The middle gate of a big family is never opened at will. In the entire Liang Dynasty, there was only one palm that could open the middle gate of a family like the Xia family.
When the guard envoy arrived at the middle gate, people from the Xia family soon discovered the guard envoy.
"This is Xia's private residence. If nothing happens, please leave quickly."
The man walked out of the small door on one side, looked at this man who didn't look very special, and spoke slowly, without any condescension or arrogance. In such an aristocratic family, the concierge is actually very important. In this capital of the gods, how rare are the dignitaries? Someone once joked that if a pile of stones were thrown on the street, it would hit at least several people working in the government.
As the concierge of a noble family, his eyesight is naturally the first priority. The Xia family's concierge in front of him looked at the guard in front of him and did not say anything rude, which naturally had something to do with his eyesight.
The guardian glanced at the other party and said, "What are the conditions for Xia to open the central gate?"
Hearing the other party's question made the concierge a little confused. If nothing else, the whole world was afraid that there were not many people who dared to tell the other party to open the middle door in front of Xia, but the person in front of him, No matter how you look at it, you don't belong to one of those people, but looking at the other party, he doesn't feel that the other party is deliberately provocative.
.
For a moment, he didn't know how to talk.
The guard looked at the concierge in front of him quietly.
The latter then asked, "May I have a famous post?"
The guard shook his head and said softly, "I didn't bring it with me, but you can go back and tell me that Ning Ping is here."
Ningping is an ordinary and ordinary name.
The concierge carefully thought about the name in his mind, but was disappointed to find that he had indeed never heard of the name. After hesitating for a moment, he did not chase the person away immediately, but said to wait a moment.
The guard didn't take it seriously and just stood quietly in front of the door.
After less than a quarter of an hour, there was only a creaking sound, and another person walked out of the small door. This time, it was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face but a good temperament. When he came here, he glanced at the guardian envoy, a little unbelievable. He said, "Is this the guardian envoy?"
Among the garrison envoys of the Liang Dynasty, there was only one who could put no modifications on the front.
The middle-aged man was also muttering. When he heard the name Ning Ping, he did think about it for a long time like the concierge who came to report, but he didn't remember who this person was. Fortunately, he didn't make a decision immediately. But after looking carefully for a moment, I suddenly discovered that the current guardian envoy's real name was Ningping. In fact, in these years, the guardian envoy was the head of the military attachés and the top three martial officers in the Daliang Dynasty. Of course, everyone knew that. However, everyone usually only calls the Lord Guardian Envoy Sir. They dare not call him by his real name. As time goes by, naturally no one can remember the name of the Guardian Envoy anymore.
That's why something almost happened here.
The guard envoy said, "I came here specifically to visit the head of the Xia family today."
The middle-aged man was startled, then waved his hand and said, "Open the middle door."
There are not many people who can make the Xia family open the center door wide, but since it is the person in front of him, there is no reason not to open the center door wide, and there is no reason to exclude this guardian.
Even if Xia is fully qualified to refuse.
As the middle door opened wide, all the servants and maids of the Xia family stood in two rows, waiting for the guard envoy of the Liang Dynasty to enter the Xia family.
The head of the Xia family soon appeared in front.
Although the head of the Xia family did not have any official position in the court, many of the Xia family's children also held important positions in the court, and the Xia family's disciples were all over the court. The head of the Xia family was naturally a very important figure in the Liang Dynasty. Big shot.
The guardian envoy followed the head of the Xia family into the lobby, and the rest of the people retreated.
"The presence of the guardian envoy will bring glory to the humble house."
The head of the Xia family smiled and spoke. He looked like an ordinary rich man, nothing special about him.
The guard said calmly, "If the Xia family is so big, they all have humble houses, then I'm afraid they won't be able to find a good house in the Liang Dynasty."
The head of the Xia family smiled and waved his hand, "It's just the shadow of our ancestors. It would be good for us unworthy descendants to keep our ancestral property."
The guardian didn't say anything, he just took a sip of tea, looked around, and said with emotion, "Your place is much better than my guardian's office."
As we all know, the guardian envoy does not have his own residence, so the guardian envoy's yamen is the residence of the guardian envoy.
The head of the Xia family smiled and said, "The guardian envoy is the pillar of the country, how can I compare with you?"
The guard smiled and said, "The Xia family has a great business. The entire Liang Dynasty is full of people. I'm afraid the shadow of the Xia family is everywhere. The head of the family is really too humble."
Hearing these words, the head of the Xia family frowned slightly, but remained silent. The guard in front of him suddenly visited. He noticed something, but at this moment, he couldn't figure out this guard who had never had many friends. The envoy came back here, what's more, wasn't it rumored before that the guarding envoy was actually not in the divine capital at this moment?
"The guardian envoy is here today. I guess this is an unusual visit, right?"
Once such a person appears, they will open their doors to welcome him. If it is just for a visit, this would be a big joke.
What's more, it is clear to both the government and the public that it is like suppressing
It is absolutely impossible for a person like Lord Guardian to visit someone casually.
The guardian nodded and said, "Now that His Majesty is not in the Divine Capital, things are a little stormy in the Divine Capital."
Emperor Daliang only said that he was in seclusion before, but with the military report from Mobei, everyone now knows that Emperor Daliang is no longer in the capital.
But at this moment, the guardian envoy suddenly said such words, which made the head of the Xia family not sure how to answer him. He thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty is not here, and the gods are afraid that they will have to rely on the guardian envoy."
The guardian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it is not easy to be a guardian. There are ghosts all over the Liang Dynasty, and there are even more ghosts in the gods. I am a little exhausted mentally and physically."
The head of the Xia family was slightly shocked, but he still said calmly, "This kind of thing has never been wiped out in the past dynasties. There is no need to worry too much, Lord Guardian."
The guard envoy said "oh" and then asked, "If it depends on the head of the family, if you find that someone is definitely a ghost, but the impact will be great when you arrest him, should I arrest him or not?"
The head of the Xia family changed slightly and did not answer immediately.
The guardian didn't wait for the other party to speak, and quickly said, "It's not easy to be a home for thousands of generations."
As soon as these words were spoken, even a fool knew that the guard had something to say.
The head of the Xia family said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the Guardian, is saying that someone in my Xia family is a foreigner? Is there any evidence? If it is true, I will fully cooperate with the Guardian and will never tolerate it."
The guard envoy looked at the head of the Xia family and said softly, "The head of the family is devoted to the country."
The head of the Xia family stared at the guardian envoy, obviously very nervous.
Who would have known that the next words of the guardian envoy would be like a thunder falling from the sky.
"If the ghost in the Xia Clan is you, the head of the family, then can we say that the entire Xia Clan is a ghost?"
The last few words were spoken by the guard in a low voice but very slowly.
The head of the Xia family was instantly furious and said, "Ning Ping, how can you say such nonsense?!"
The fact that he called the guardian envoy by his name at this moment proved that the head of the Xia family was really furious!
The guardian didn't take it seriously. He just tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly, "I am the guardian of the Liang Dynasty. Do you think I can talk nonsense like this?"
He looked at the head of the Xia family and sneered, "Do you think I can set foot in your Xia family's private residence without real evidence?"
Looking at the garrison commander's expression, the head of the Xia family quickly calmed down. He figured out some things. Even if the garrison commander knew about the relationship between the Xia family and Fangwai, the garrison commander should have reported it to the Daliang emperor first. But now that the Daliang emperor has not returned, he is here. I am afraid he has other intentions?
He wants to use this as a threat to get some benefits from the Xia family?
The head of the Xia family thought a lot and quickly said, "What exactly does the garrison commander want to say?"
In such matters, the party that does not put forward conditions often has a lot of room for maneuver.
The garrison commander looked at the attitude of the head of the Xia family and suddenly laughed, his voice became a little harsh, "Xia Chan, don't you think that this official wants to get some benefits from you?"
The head of the Xia family frowned, which made him even more confused.
"Haven't there always been some Fangwai monks in your Xia family waiting here to assassinate His Majesty?"
This sentence was the final word!
The head of the Xia family did not hesitate any longer, grabbed the teacup on the table, and threw it down hard!
The teacup was smashed heavily, and then several breaths appeared around.
The garrison commander was unmoved and still sat firmly on the mountain. This warrior who was one of the top three in the Daliang Dynasty just looked at the Xia family and said calmly, "Xia Chan, do you really want to drag the entire Xia family into an endless abyss?"
The head of the Xia family said indifferently, "It has come to this, what else can we do? I don't believe how great you, the so-called warrior, are. Can you sweep away my entire Xia family by yourself?"
The Xia family has a deep foundation in the Daliang Dynasty, and there are countless masters among them. He still doesn't believe that it was flattened by such a worry-free warrior.
The garrison commander did not speak, but looked at the head of the Xia family and said softly, "It seems that you have forgotten what happened more than ten years ago."
When the head of the Xia family was mentioned more than ten years ago, he was suddenly shocked. That was when the Daliang Emperor
entered the capital of the gods. At that time, many people in the capital of the gods were unwilling to accept that the Daliang Emperor was about to become the new emperor, so many worshippers joined forces to kill him.
At that time, there were not many people beside the Daliang Emperor, but there was the garrison commander.
The garrison commander slowly stood up, and a bloody aura suddenly surged out of his body. Everyone in the hall could feel the powerful pressure. This was the spirit of a peerless warrior. The Daliang Emperor had proved how terrible a warrior who had reached the end of forgetfulness was in Mobei and Xuanling County.
So what about now?
What about this warrior who had also reached the end of forgetfulness?
Will he be the second Daliang Emperor?
This will be a problem that the entire Xia family will face.
…
…
A moment later, a wailing suddenly came from the hall where Xia's family met guests.
When the Xia family members hurried to this place, they only saw corpses on the ground.
I don't know how many Xia's worshippers were lying around.
A reception hall was now in pieces, almost a ruin.
And there were only two people standing in the ruins, one was the indifferent town guard, and the other was the bloody Xia family head.
To be able to reach such a high position as the Xia family head, he was naturally not a guy who knew nothing. In other words, he was even a good cultivator, but no matter how good a cultivator was, he had no room to resist in front of a warrior like the town guard.
In the past, the Xia family members would have some respect for the town guard, but now, they were all angry.
After all, the Xia family opened the middle door and welcomed him in, but he destroyed the Xia family's hall and seriously injured the Xia family head.
Is such a guest still a guest?
The garrison commander ignored their thoughts. The real strong man of Xia family had not appeared yet, but he had no worries at this moment. He walked out of the ruins calmly and headed towards the innermost part of Xia family.
Many people will die along the way.
But before they could think of anything, there was a sudden noise at the gate of Xia family.
The sound of fighting had already started.
Many clansmen who did not know the secrets looked at each other at this moment, not understanding what was happening at all.
Why in the capital of gods, there are still people who dare to break into the private residence of Xia family, and why are there so many cultivators who are starting to break into Xia family at this moment?
Is this still the capital of gods?
The garrison commander walked a few steps, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the head of Xia family, with undisguised disgust in his eyes, "Being a ghost means death."
The garrison commander said nothing more, but walked forward in silence.
...
...
Although the small courtyard was remote, it was also in Xia family after all. The noisy sound outside soon alarmed the cultivators in the small courtyard at this moment.
Hearing the sound, the junior brother Liang was the first to rush out of the courtyard, but the next moment, he flew back uncontrollably.
Several cultivators quickly looked to a place not far away.
A figure appeared here.
It was the Daliang garrison commander.
At first glance, even these cultivators who were usually well-informed took a breath of cold air at this moment.
The blood of the person who came was like an abyss, like a substance. Such a strong blood, I am afraid that there is no such cultivator in the whole world.
This is undoubtedly a warrior!
A warrior who is unparalleled in the world.
How many such warriors can there be in the entire Daliang Dynasty?
"Go and ask the uncle."
Some people made a quick decision. Facing this worry-free warrior, they are no match.
Besides, the other party came with great force and was not a good person at all.
The garrison commander stood quietly without saying anything.
He just looked at the sky.
A sword light appeared in the distance.

Five thousand words. By the way, I recommend a book written by a friend, "The Doomsday Walker" by the author Jeanne d'Arc. It is worth reading.
