Chapter 20: Welcoming Guests

"Yes, Grandpa, just like you said, there is no one you can't see through." Yinglan said excitedly at once.

Looking at Yinglan, Zhongshan suddenly thought of several betrayed adopted sons. He shook his head and a hint of exclamation flashed in his eyes, saying, "It's because the royal family is not complicated enough, and all the people who come out are mediocre, which makes it easy to be seen through. Moreover, those in power are obsessed.

The confusion of those in power also prevented Zhongshan from seeing through the hearts of a few adopted sons, which made him constantly reflect and think about what would happen to the remaining adopted sons?

However, Yinglan did not notice the difference in Zhongshan's expression. Instead, she continued, "The new emperor was on staff there. No, he is now a second-class official. At his urging, he wanted to marry me, and in the end, he threatened me by forcing me to surrender my military power. At that time, I was angry and shook my hand, so I didn't do it and came back. Let him regret it. Apart from me as the commander-in-chief of Liaoguo, everyone else is just puppets, and sooner or later they will be defeated by the other four countries

Watching Yinglan's angry expression, Zhongshan chuckled and decided to come back. However, from what Yinglan said, it can be seen that she already possesses the talent of a general.

Has my family's Yinglan taken a liking to anyone? Auntie will propose marriage to you, and if he doesn't want to, I will take it for you, "Zhongshan laughed.

No, no, my man must surpass my great aunt, otherwise, Yinglan will never marry, "Yinglan immediately said anxiously.

Uh? That's a bit difficult, "Zhongshan laughed heartily. From Yinglan's tone, she probably hasn't caught her eye yet, but it's good. Since she can't, then she can't. There used to be a limit on longevity, but now that Zhongshan has practiced, Yinglan will definitely increase her longevity as well.

Auntie, have some tea. "Yinglan immediately poured another cup of tea for Zhongshan.

Okay, "Zhong Shan lowered his head and took a gentle pout.

At the moment when Zhongshan lowered her head, Yinglan looked at him with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhongshan looked up at Yinglan again and said, "Since you're back, it's okay. Don't fight for our country anymore, fight for me

Upon hearing what Zhongshan said, Yinglan was clearly stunned and looked at him, saying, "Grandfather, don't you pursue immortality anymore? Besides, you have already reached the innate realm, why should you still focus on the country

Eternal life is not that easy. I want to establish a celestial dynasty and dominate the world with it, so that it will be easier to live forever, "Zhong Shan frowned.

The establishment of the Heavenly Kingdom and immortality mentioned by Zhongshan seem unrelated, but due to her admiration for Zhongshan, Yinglan immediately chose to believe it and excitedly looked at Zhongshan, conquering the world? What a great spirit, only my great aunt has this kind of spirit. Who can surpass under heaven and earth?

Auntie, are you going to unify the six countries? "Yinglan asked.

Unifying the six countries? It's just the first step. Then it's the land of the five countries you go to. After unifying the six countries, I will unify the five countries on that side as soon as possible. Then, with the help of the people of the world, I will connect the two isolated mountains and rivers, create a larger territory, and expand the world. "Zhong Shan spoke up.

Well, Yinglan will definitely help Grandpa Gu, "Yinglan immediately exclaimed excitedly.

The founding of the country is not as simple as you think. Perhaps there are endless dangers ahead, and I will encounter endless enemies. These enemies are not just ordinary people, but also cultivators. The road ahead is thorny, or it may be a dead end. Do you still want to go with me? "Zhong Shan frowned and looked at Ying Lan.

Wherever Grandpa goes, I'll go, "Yinglan immediately said.

Staring at Yinglan, Zhong Shan sighed for a moment and was moved in his heart. At the same time, he constantly warned himself that he must find a way out for Yinglan, because once he made a decision, he could never turn back. As for Yinglan, he couldn't let her do this.

Next, Zhongshan and Yinglan continued to talk about the trivial matters of the past, as well as the interesting stories of the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

It is already the last day for the Zhao family leader and others to discuss attacking the Zhong Mansion. The strong have been waiting for ten days, but have not yet reached the royal Su family. They can only prepare to kill the Zhong Mansion tonight. In the late stage of the Four Innates, in the early stage of the Four Innates, dealing with a mortal family, no, dealing with a royal family, is completely sufficient. However, the owners are still waiting for the best opportunity. at night.

And because of the waiting of the four main lords, they were waiting for another foreign aid for the Zhong family.

Zhao Suo, with his white horse and silver spear, galloped towards the outskirts of Xuancheng on this day. Looking at the city gate, Zhao Suo furrowed his brow.

Xuancheng? Zhongshan Mansion? Due to important matters, I was delayed in hunting Haosan. I heard from my junior brother that there was a person named Zhongshan who died in the belly of a snake. I don't know if he knew him, but in Zhao Suoxiang's mind, Zhongshan should not be a short-lived person.

Although Zhongshan became a disciple of Kaiyang Sect, Xuancheng is Zhongshan's hometown. Last time Zhongshan invited him to visit, but now that he's here, of course he wants to take a look.

At the city gate, Zhao Suoxiang dismounted from his horse and looked at one of the gatekeepers.

May I ask Xuancheng Zhongfu how to get there? "Zhao Suo asked the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper gave a clear pause, 'Zhong Mansion?'.

Mr. Zhao, please come this way, "a man suddenly approached outside the gate and bowed respectfully.

Looking at that person, Zhao frowned and clearly didn't recognize him, while the gatekeeper had a respectful expression.

Mr. Zhao, I am a servant of the Zhong Mansion. I have been waiting here for a long time. The old man showed us your portrait. As long as Mr. Zhao comes here, he will be honored as a guest and introduced to the Zhong Mansion. "The person immediately spoke respectfully.

Is Zhongshan in the mansion? "Zhao Suo frowned and asked.

After Zhao finished speaking, the guards beside him widened their eyes. Zhongshan? Who is Zhongshan? Did he call it so casually? However, the response from the person who greeted him surprised all the security guards.

Yes, the old man is in the mansion, "the person said respectfully without any anger.

Lead the way, "Zhao said directly. Turning over and getting on the horse, no one dared to stop him. Led by that person, he quickly headed to the Zhong Mansion.

In the Zhong Mansion, Zhongshan received the news from Zhao Suo early on. Zhao Suo's arrival at this time really made Zhongshan overjoyed.

Quickly leading Yinglan and Tianling to the door, Zhao Suoxiang arrived just in time.

Hahaha, Zhao Suoxiang, what wind brought you to Xuancheng? "Zhongshan smiled and welcomed.

Tian Ling'er knows Zhao Suoxiang, but Ying Lan doesn't. She looked at this person with some confusion. Obviously, being able to receive such a warm welcome from her great aunt must be a remarkable person.

Passing by here, I heard that you were buried in the belly of a snake, but I don't believe it at all, so I'm here to confirm. Since you're okay, then the news is nothing, "Zhao Suo smiled at Ma Ma.

Snake belly, I have entered, but I am unlucky and have come out again. Let's go inside, please, "Zhong Shan immediately said.

Hmm, "Zhao nodded, and the white horse was naturally under someone's supervision.

Entering the hall, the servants immediately served good tea. There were four people in total: Zhongshan, Zhao Suoxiang, Tianling Er, and Yinglan.

This is Yinglan, you know Ling'er, "Zhong Shan introduced slightly.

Mmm, "Zhao nodded slightly.

Do you have any important matters to attend to when you pass by Xuancheng? "Zhongshan frowned and asked.

There's nothing to do, just to join in the fun, "Zhao Suo smiled.

Oh? "Zhong Shan exclaimed in surprise.

To the east of Xuancheng, on Bamen Mountain, there has been a lot of excitement recently. I missed Haosan's death, so of course I will go and take a look this time, "Zhao Suoxiang said.

Bamen Mountain? "Zhong Shan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Zhao in surprise. Isn't Bamen Mountain the place where Beiqingsi and Tiansha went?

Yeah, there's been a melee at Bamen Mountain now, and many cultivators have been killed or injured. It seems like I heard that your Kaiyang Sect also suffered a few casualties, "Zhao Suoxiang said as he took a sip of tea.

What? Where did the members of the Kaiyang Sect die? So, how is Senior Brother Tiansha doing now? "Tian Ling'er immediately became worried.

Senior Brother? "Zhao looked at Tianling with some surprise. Tian Sha is the second generation senior brother of Kaiyang Sect, but is Tian Ling'er in the Golden Dan period?

Well, who died in Kaiyang Sect? "Zhongshan immediately asked.

Zhongshan changed his words, and Zhao Suo turned his gaze to Zhongshan and said, "I'm not sure, I only heard that there was a big battle and all factions had casualties

What exactly happened? "Zhong Shan frowned and asked.

Just a while ago, something big happened at Bamen Mountain, and then strange things happened one after another, "Zhao Suo frowned and said.

Oh? "Zhongshan said strangely.

Bamen Mountain is not really a big mountain range, and there are no cultivators going there all year round. However, there is a small sect located there, called the 'Golden Lock Gate'. It is very depressed, and there is only one person inside the sect. It is said that he is very old and has not received any apprentices. There is only one person, and no one cares. However, just a few days ago, there was a sudden earthquake around Bamen Mountain, followed by the sound of a dragon's roar, and then a large number of spirit stones gushed out from the ground. As they soared into the sky, a large number of spirit stones, nearby sects immediately wanted to seize that place and slowly mine them, "Zhao Suoxiang said.

What, the sound of dragon singing? "Zhongshan immediately stood up, his eyes emitting a strong light.

Uh, yes, the dragon chanted nine times. Maybe some wild dragon was scared by the earthquake, "Zhao Suoxiang looked at Zhongshan with some confusion.

Nine times? Are you sure it's nine times? "Zhongshan exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at Zhongshan with confusion, Zhao nodded and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Zhao, Zhong Shan shook his head and said, "I've lost my composure. Since the nearby sects are vying for power, it shouldn't take so long. If you go now, will it be too late

Looking at Zhongshan, Zhao Suo smiled slightly and said, "I haven't finished speaking just now. What's really strange is that after the strong members of the sect rushed there, they found an inexplicable formation on Bamen Mountain
