Chapter 1301: The Zhou family is in trouble
Zhu Ran received his father's order and rushed back to the Red Refining Sect in a hurry. Along the way, I thought about all the reasons why it should have happened, but I couldn't find a clue.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and after entering with his front foot, Zhu Ran immediately found that the core figures of the Zhou and Zhu families were in front of the hall. In addition, another branch of the Red Refining Sect, the "Loyal Auditorium", is also among them.
The Zhongli Hall is in charge of the three old men, and their status symbolizes the elder hall of the Red Refining Sect, and the strength of the three old men is in the Great Perfection realm in the early stage of the tribulation, which is a little worse than Zhu Pingsi and Zhou Yun. The three elders of Zhongli: Chiming, Chihua, and Chiyang, are considered to be the elders of the Red Refining Sect, but only because of their mediocre strength and thousands of years of cultivation have broken through to the early stage of the Tribulation, they have never been famous. However, Midorito valued them very much at the beginning, and set up a loyal hall for the three of them to take care of.
Originally, Zhu Pingsi and Zhou Yun were Green Dou's henchmen, and the three of them couldn't reach the level of Zhu Pingsi and Zhou Yun, but since Green Dou was seriously ill, they found that the two lovers were secretly calculating themselves and didn't trust anyone, and gradually alienated everyone.
Although Green Dou almost forgot the three elders of Zhongli, but there is a big Red Refining Sect, no one dares to underestimate Zhongli Hall, these three people are born in the world with Green Dou, and they treat Zhu Pingsi and Zhou Yun equally, and they belong to the kind of people who do not leak. The three elders of Zhongli, who control the Zhongli Hall and control the lifeblood of several major minerals, are one of the reasons why Zhu and Erren have not dared to make a move against Green Dou. Although they didn't care about the strength of the three, fame had to be treated with care.
When they first separated, the three elders were always dissatisfied with the evil intentions of Zhou and Zhu, but things were very delicate, they wanted to help Green Dou, and Green Dou did not dump the three of them. They wanted to deal with Zhu Pingsi and Zhou Yun, but their strength was not enough, and they came and went, forming a stalemate. It's not that these three people haven't been to other courtyards, what Lu Chen doesn't know is that in this year, the three of them have been there almost a dozen times, but Green Dou was frightened by the rebellion of the two lovers, lest the three of them be from the Zhou and Zhu families, and they claim to be closed every time. Later, because of Lu Chen's bad idea, after Lu Dou turned Green Dou into a crazy old man who kills people when he sees them, the three of them didn't dare to go.
The three elders of Zhongli are weak and high-ranked, and they are in the first place. Zhu Pingsi, with Zhu Le and Zhu Zhen on the left side of the lobby, behind him are several loyal generals of the Zhu family, and on the right are the three fathers and sons of the Zhou family.
The atmosphere in the lobby was obviously extremely depressing, and when Zhu Ran saw that even the three elders of Zhongli, who were easy to stay at home, were invited out, he knew that the matter was probably not small.
Zhu Ran didn't show anything, walked into the hall, and asked the three elders respectfully. After finishing, he retreated behind Zhu Pingsi.
When he got behind him, Zhu Ran asked in a low voice, "Father, what happened?" Even the three uncles were invited out. ”
When Green Dou was in power, there would often be a sect meeting, and at that time, the Zhongli Hall of the three elders of Zhongli and the refining hall of the Zhou and Zhu families must attend to discuss major matters in the door. But since Midori contracted the disease, this kind of meeting has ceased to appear invisibly. After all, the Zhu and Zhou families are big, and the three elders of Rao is Zhongli don't dare to ask. And Zhou Yun and Zhu Pingsi were also afraid of the seniority of the three of them, for fear that the outside world would say that they had no respect for their elders, but they didn't move the three of them.
Coupled with the loyalty of the three of them to Green Dou, Zhou Yun and Zhu Pingsi were never able to infiltrate the power into the Zhongli Hall, and a three-legged trend within the Red Refining Sect was formed.
In fact, all these years have passed, and Zhongli Hall generally does not participate in the seizure of power by Zhou and Zhu. Only under the very important resolution will be here. But after receiving Zhou Yun's invitation today, the three of them were very surprised. In the past, Zhou Yun didn't even ignore the three of them, how could he invite himself today? The three of them were just as puzzled as Zhu Ran.
Zhu Pingsi glanced at Zhu Ran, shook his head slightly, and his voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it: "I don't know, your Uncle Zhou has to wait for everyone to gather before he speaks." ”
"Huh?" Zhu Ran was stunned, and said in his heart: "Wait for everyone to talk about it, what does that mean?" Zhu Ran looked at Zhou Yun in surprise.
Chi Ming, who was loyal to the third elder, also frowned slightly, and asked, "Zhou Yun, what can I say now?" "This old man is the chief of the three elders, his status is not light, and he was also valued by Green Dou before. The old man knew some things, but he didn't know many things, and he was still very puzzled.
Zhou Yun saw that everyone was together, and glanced at Zhou Changjie, Zhou Changjie arched his hand, slowly walked around to the front of the hall, first respectfully bowed to the elders, and said: "Three uncles, Uncle Zhu, I think everyone already knows about the injury of Yuhu, the personal servant next to the ancestor." ”
Everyone nodded, and said secretly: "Everyone knows about this, do you still need to say it?"
Zhou Changjie didn't give everyone a chance to ask, and said at the moment: "Don't hide it from you, I went to the other courtyard just now, and I also saw Yuhu, because it involved the matter of the ancestor, Changjie inquired carefully, but I didn't expect that I heard an incredible news." Yuhu was robbed this time. ”
"Robbery?" The three elders of Zhongli glanced at each other, and Chihua was puzzled: "In the battlefield of ancient gods and demons, it is not uncommon to kill people and steal goods, what's so strange about this?"
"Uncle Warn. Zhou Changjie had long expected that someone would ask questions from the three elders of Zhongli, he smiled faintly, and said meaningfully: "The point of the matter is not in the matter of robbing the treasure, but in the fact that I know that the windmill that Yuhu is sitting on is the thing of my Red Refining Sect, and I want to snatch it, so it will be different." ”
Zhou Changjie said this, and looked at the Zhu family intentionally or unintentionally. The third elder of Zhongli hummed lightly, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhen's heart beat more and more violently, and he lowered his head with a dodgy gaze.
The father and son of the Zhu family didn't know the secret, and when they saw Zhou Changjie looking at their own family, they were immediately furious.
"Zhou Changjie, what do you mean by my Zhu family?" Although Zhu Ran's cultivation is high, in this case, he must not show weakness, he really wants to let the Zhou family gain the upper hand, the three elders of Zhongli are inclined to the Zhou family, and the Zhu family will have no status in the Red Refining Sect in the future. There are still three points of nails in the broken ship, and the three elders of Zhongli are not good, and if they start a liver fire, the Red Refining Sect will also have to shake it three times.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Changjie sniffled and sneered.
The third elder was stunned and said unhappily: "Changjie, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yun knew that it was almost over, so he opened his mouth and said, "Changjie, there are three uncles in charge, you can tell the truth." ”
"Just wait for your words. Zhou Changjie became more and more happy in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said "yes", and then said loudly: "Don't hide it from a few uncles, I saw Yuhu just now, as far as he said, there are three people who made the shot, one of them is a demon cultivator, with a long blue face and fangs......"
Zhou Changjie said word by word, and the sound fell in the ears of the Zhu family's father and son, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and after he described the appearance of the robber, almost everyone turned their attention to the third miss of the Zhu family: Zhu Zhen. Zhou Changjie paused, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "Originally, Yuhu didn't recognize this person at all, but unfortunately, Yuhu gave up the windmill and was able to save a small life, and in the process of escaping, I heard someone call this person ...... Boss. I guess everyone already has a number in mind. ”
"...... Uproar"
After saying this, everyone in the inner hall of the Zhu family exclaimed, and their eyes were fiercely fixed on Zhu Zhen's jade face.
"Really?" Chiyang came back to his senses for the first time.
"Zhou Changjie, don't spew blood. Zhu Zhen was flustered, and without waiting for his eldest brother Zhu Ran to refute, he immediately scolded and said, "When you say that, you think that I sent someone to assassinate Yuhu and rob the windmill?"
"Isn't it?" Zhou Changjie smiled playfully and looked at everyone: "I think everyone knows that a demon cultivator with such an ugly appearance has no one else in the Phantom Star Domain except for Wu Tuo, and that voice boss also explains the identity of this person." ”
"You talk nonsense. Zhu Zhen's chest trembled, stood up, and said: "Why is it Wu Tuo? Isn't it other demon cultivators, scattered cultivators? There is not only one surnamed Wu Tuo, what is the word "Wu" that Yuhu is talking about? Besides, this matter is just Yuhu's one-sided words, is it true that what he said is the truth, and he will not deliberately frame it?"
I have to say that Zhu Zhen's intelligence is not as good as that of his brother and father, and some of them are reasonable in just a few rebuttals. The three elders looked sideways at Zhou Changjie.
Zhou Changjie had long expected that Zhu Zhen would not admit it, and said with a smile: "Heh, that's good." Since it is not Wu Tuo, why don't Miss Zhu find this person out of the confrontation, make it clear face to face, and understand everything. ”
"This ......" Zhu Zhen was immediately dazzled when he heard this. She really wanted to get Wu Tuo back, but she kept sending a message to Wu Tuo, but Wu Tuo didn't hear back at all, and she didn't go back to Zhu's shop, as if the world had evaporated.
In fact, Zhou Changjie had already prepared everything, and on the way back, he not only asked Zhou Yun to invite the three elders of Zhongli, but also sent eyeliner to search for Wutuo in all places of the Zhu family, but he, like Zhu Zhen, did not find this person at all, so he was in a hurry. You must know that if Wu Tuo returns, he will talk to Zhu Zhenyi, and some things will not be clear. And Zhou Changjie sent someone to the teleportation array of the gods and demons early to wait, once there is a trace of Wu Tuo, he will immediately capture this person, and use the soul snatching method to collect this person's memory, if it is really Yuhu nonsense, he will immediately kill Wu Tuo and throw his body into the wild. If this matter is serious, Zhou Changjie doesn't mind bringing Wu Tuo to the three elders of Zhongli. In short, everything is under his control.
was asked by Zhou Changjie, even Zhu Pingsi and Zhu Ran saw that Zhu Zhen was wrong, and the father and son glared at Zhu Zhen angrily, with anger in the air, and there was no way to vent it.
Zhu Pingsi couldn't help but whispered: "Zhen'er, the pure one is self-purifying, if it is really not Wu Tuo's doing, let him confront him." ”
This remark has an allusive meaning, and it is clear that he is telling Zhu Zhen that if it is really you who did it, let Wu Tuo come over immediately, and follow your words, don't talk nonsense.
Of course, Zhu Zhen understood the meaning of Zhu Pingsi's words, but she just didn't move.
"Why, don't you dare?" Zhou Changjie said jokingly.
Zhu Zhen bit his lip and said, "Father, Zhen'er sent Wu Tuo out on errands a few days ago, but he hasn't returned yet, so he can't confront him on the spot." ”
"Oh?" At this moment, even the three elders of Zhongli heard the question: What do you mean? Can't come? If you can't come, the problem will be big.
Zhu Pingsi didn't say anything, but Zhou Yun took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Virtuous niece, it's okay to go out to do errands, can you be arraigned?" I don't want Changjie to wronged Xian's niece indiscriminately, it's better for Xian's niece to take out the communication jade card, cut off the ban, and pass the message to Wutuo in public, and see how to say it." ”
This trick is not ruthless, in public, there is no possibility of covering up. And Zhu Zhen wants to pass on something, but he can't be the master.
Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth, had a flash of inspiration, and said again: "Uncle Zhou, don't hide it from everyone, Wu Tuo is not in the Phantom Star Domain. ”
"Huh?" When everyone heard this, no one believed Zhu Zhen's nonsense: Is it such a coincidence? When something happened to Yuhu, you sent people out, and the people who hurt Yuhu looked like that, did you send people out of the Phantom Star Domain, or did you send people to the battlefield of ancient gods and demons.
Speaking of which, Zhou Changjie didn't need to say anything anymore, the purpose of him and Zhou Yun was not to resist the windmill, but to make the Zhu family lose trust in front of the three elders of Zhongli, and make the three elders have a bad feeling towards the Zhu family, which was enough.
But Zhou Changjie still felt that it was not enough, so he said: "Okay, even if Wu Tuo is gone, but as far as I know, there is a small-eyed demon cultivator in the Zhu family shop, named Lang Lan, this person is used to using a poisonous knife magic weapon, and Yuhu was also hit by this person's poisonous knife, and he was so seriously injured that he almost died on the battlefield of ancient gods and demons." Yuhu has already described the appearance of this person to me, and now I will tell you...... "Zhou Changjie is worthy of being a slippery person, for fear that Zhu Zhen will not admit it, he has already recorded the appearance of the three people who attacked him from Lu Chen's mouth.
And this time, along with the appearance of the cultivator, it depends on how Zhu Zhen answers.
Zhou Changjie said: "Sister of the Zhu family, Wutuo sent out, these two people should not be sent out." Oh, we don't want to have a misunderstanding (9), after all, who knows if he murdered Yuhu for the windmill or for something else?
The crowd nodded.
Zhu Zhen's face instantly turned blue.
Seeing that Zhu Zhen didn't move, Zhou Changjie smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "The sisters of the Zhu family won't tell us, they also went out to do errands, right?"
"This ...... That's right. Zhu Zhenxiang was drenched in sweat, her pretty face was red to the base of her neck, her head was lowered, and her voice was so small that even the three elders of Zhongli couldn't hear it clearly.
Now, Zhou Changjie doesn't need to ask anything anymore, everything will be decided by the three elders of Zhongli. Zhou Changjie smiled and retreated, winking at Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun immediately gave an appreciative look, sat on the chair and did not move.
The three elders of Zhongli looked gloomy, and looked at Zhu Zhen coldly, and after a while, the first old man, Chi Ming, snorted coldly and said: "Zhu Pingsi, this matter, you have to give me Zhongli Hall and Zhou Yun an explanation, I will give you three days, if you can't find these three people, hmph, you should know what to do?"
After the three of Chiming finished speaking, they brushed their sleeves away, and the father and son of the Zhou family also left the inner hall of the Zhu family with a sneer.
