Chapter 53

Shang Xia came out of the quiet room and was about to go downstairs, when he heard a rough laugh coming from downstairs.

Shang Xia's face showed joy when he heard the sound, and he walked downstairs quickly, and he saw Shang Quan and a strong man with a beard looking at him with a smile.

"Uncle Qi, why are you here?"

The bearded burly man was Chang Sui Yanqi who was by Shang Xia's side.

"Little master!"

Yan Qi smiled and said: "We heard the news of your disappearance in Tongyou City, and the eldest girl sent us into the two worlds to search for people, but I never thought that the young master has a good fortune, not only returned safely, but also cultivated It has been improved to a higher level, and we are very happy after hearing the news."

Shang Quan said with a smile from the side: "Xiaoqi also followed the patrol and participated in the search for you and the kidnapped students, but his luck was obviously not as good as mine, but he participated in the valley's ambush against the Fengyan tribe."

Shang Xia's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "Uncle Qi, tell me about the battle, Tang Yuan really made a move?"

Yan Qi's expression became solemn when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "That's right! Moreover, Tang Yuan's cultivation has already reached the third level of the Martial Artistic Realm. Being hit hard, this set the tone for the cruiser's victory."

"However, the Fengyan tribe's martial art master is also a ruthless character. After being severely injured, he knew that he would not be spared, so he simply started desperately with the intention of dying together, creating opportunities for other companions to break through."

"It is precisely because of this person's self-sacrifice that Tang Yuan threw his weapon at the last moment, and was eventually defeated by another master of martial arts, leading three or four people."

"Tang Yuan is actually on the third level of the Martial Artistic Realm!"

Shang Quan couldn't help but frowned, and said, "No wonder! No wonder that in the first two days after the news of the convoy being attacked and the students being hijacked, the patrolmen were slow to respond, and Tang Yuan was even more reluctant to show up. Because Liu Jitang has transferred some of the elite patrolling cavalry, it seems that this guy was probably retreating to break through the third level of the Martial Artistic Realm, otherwise Liu Jitang's desire to transfer troops may not be smooth."

Tang Yuan was not only the head of the Patrolling Department of the Academy's Guards, but also the number one confidant of Ji Wenlong's subordinates.

This person's advancement to the third level of the Martial Artistic Realm will inevitably further expand the power under Ji Wenlong's control.

The patrols who were originally criticized for the attack on the convoy and the hijacking of the students must also have high morale.

Coupled with the fact that the ambush in the valley was a great victory, Tang Yuan's status in Tongyou College will inevitably be further improved.

Although Tongyou City has Tongyou Academy aloof, suppressing and coordinating everything.

However, under Tongyou Academy, the four major families still fight openly and secretly, and this competition will even extend to the interior of Tongyou Academy.

Shang Xia took a look at the clan uncle, and he could probably guess that he was weighing the strength comparison of the two families at this moment.

At this moment, Yan Qi suddenly said again: "However, at the last moment of the breakout that day, it seemed that someone outside the direction of the breakout of the Fengyan tribe came to respond, killing and injuring two ordinary patrol members one after another, causing a certain amount of confusion. It was only in the end that the opponent escaped smoothly, otherwise there would be at least two Martial Realm left in that battle."

When Shang Xia heard the words, the image of the female warrior Yan Ming suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although he didn't know who was behind the attack that day, Shang Xia felt that that person might be Yan Ming.

But now is obviously not the time to think about these issues, Shang Xia has more important things to prove in his heart.

"Uncle Qi, was everything in the house safe before you came? Is everything normal in Tongyou City?"

Shang Quan's meditation was interrupted, and he looked up at Shang Xia in astonishment.

Yan Qi was a little confused, so she thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be any major issues in the family, right? It's just that after the news of your disappearance came back from the Two Worlds Battlefield that day, the eldest girl seemed a little flustered."

"As for Tongyou City..."

When Yan Qi said this, her tone paused slightly.

"What happened to Tongyou City?" Shang Xia hurriedly asked.

"Tongyou City is under martial law, but Cangling Wuxiu is still using the reason for provoking disputes between the two realms, is this abnormal?"

The entire city of Tongyou City is under martial law. For the residents of Tongyou City, this is really nothing new.

Whenever the situation in the battle between the two realms became tense, Tongyou City would usually declare martial law.

I dare not say that there are three or five times every year, but on average, there are still city-wide martial law once or twice a year.

This is also because in recent years, warriors from the two worlds have maintained great restraint with each other.

This should be put on the occasion of the initial formation of the two worlds battle field more than ten years ago, and the warriors of the two worlds were killed in the battle field with blood flowing like rivers.

At that time, there was a time when Tongyou City only declared martial law once a year, but that martial law only lasted for a whole year.

Shang Xia looked solemn, and continued to ask: "Uncle Qi, after the news of my disappearance was sent back, how many people did the family send to the two worlds besides you?"

Yan Qi had a complex expression of embarrassment and anger when he heard the words, but he was trying to excuse others, saying: "Young master, don't be unhappy, it's not easy for a big girl. At that time, most of the warriors in the family were dispatched. Coupled with the declaration of martial law in Tongyou City, the four major families have the responsibility to cooperate with Tongyou Academy to protect Tongyou City, so this manpower is..."

Shang Xia's expression became more and more serious, he waved his hands a little anxiously, and said, "Uncle Qi misunderstood, it's not because of this..."

After Shang Quan's meditation was interrupted just now, he kept watching from the side.

Yan Qi didn't understand Shang Xia's deep meaning, but Shang Quan saw the clue, and said, "Xiao Xia, what I heard from you seems to be referring to the martial law in Tongyou City. It seems that Tongyou City has a problem?"

"It would be fine if it's just to pass through You City..."

Shang Xia obviously had something to say and didn't want to say more, but looked at the clan uncle and asked, "Uncle Quan, after such a long time, is there still no news from Grandpa Fifth?"

Shang Quan was also a little surprised when he heard the words: "I have reported the news that you have something important to report to Uncle Ke in the form of family secret letter, but Uncle Ke has not responded yet."

After a pause, Shang Quan asked with a deliberate tone, "Xiao Xia, do you know something?"

Shang Xia forced himself to calm down, and said: "I did get some bad news, but the authenticity of the news has yet to be confirmed, so I am eager to report it, but..."

Shang Quan nodded his head to express his understanding, and followed Shang Xia's words with a wry smile: "But recently, no matter whether it is the senior management of the academy or the people who are in charge of several big families in Tongyou Peak, they have disappeared. Just returning to Tongyou Peak, I'm afraid even I would have thought that the entire Tongyou Peak's warriors above the martial arts realm had disappeared for no reason."

Shang Xia took a deep breath and said, "I have no choice but to find Tang Yuan."

After finishing speaking, Shang Xia turned to look at Shang Quan, and said, "Uncle Quan, can you arrange for me to see Tang Yuan as soon as possible?"

"Leave this to me!"

Shang Quan nodded, and then asked hesitantly: "Xiao Xia, is the matter really serious? Is it related to our business?"

"Life and death!"

Shang Xia's face was gloomy at this moment.

Shang Quan's face turned pale suddenly, and he said, "I'm going to the patrol hall right now!"

…………

The location of the Patrolling Hall is not above the main peak of Tongyou Peak, but at the foot of the surrounding peaks. It occupies a large area and looks more like a horse farm from a distance.

"The Patrolling Hall is built here, firstly, it is convenient to attack, and secondly, because the area on Tongyou Peak is limited after all, it cannot accommodate so many troops."

Because of Shang Xia's urgent request, Shang Quan directly brought him to meet Tang Yuan, the master of patrolling horses.

When the two uncles and nephews came to the patrol hall, they were stopped by people.

"Shang Quan, the shopkeeper of the lower commercial building, has something to ask to see Director Xunqi Tang!"

Shang Quan's figure and demeanor are very humble, more like a businessman's expression of being kind and making money.

However, the doorman in front of the hall is not a person who has no winks. After receiving Shang Quan's greeting card, he glanced at Shang Xia who was next to him, and said with a respectful smile: "Please wait a moment, the shopkeeper, I will go to report now." .”

Shang Xia whispered beside him: "This Director Tang is quite airy."

Shang Quan smiled, and replied in a low voice: "Maybe it will become even bigger in the future!"

Shang Xia nodded in agreement, the clan uncle was referring to the third level of the advanced martial art realm of the supervisor Tang.

After a while, the guard who just went in and reported came out trotted out and said, "You two, the supervisor is here to invite you!"

Shang Quan nodded, and walked in, as if he was no stranger to the interior of the Patrolling Hall.

While crossing a bluestone path, Shang Xia could still see patrolling cavalry practicing a combined attack formation on the racecourse not far from both sides.

"Shang Xia!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and one person charged forward on a fast horse, and suddenly stopped a foot away from him, showing good riding skills.

"What are you doing here?"

Immediately, the knight lifted his mask and stared at Shang Xia with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

"Zhang Jianfei? You also joined the Academy's Department of Guards?"

Shang Xia looked at the person in surprise, frowned and said, "I have something to meet with Director Tang, and I don't have time to chat with you right now."

After all, Shang Xia turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't go!"

Zhang Jianfei got off his horse and with his toes on the ground, he was already floating towards Shang Xia.

Shang Xia suddenly turned around, and volleyed towards Zhang Jianfei, who was floating over, with a palm.

Zhang Jianfei in the middle of the air felt an unstoppable potential attack, making him fall back involuntarily.

After falling on the ground and staggering a few steps, finally stabilizing his body, Zhang Jianfei said in shock and anger: "You..."

But as soon as he spoke, his expression changed, and there was actually a force coming from the dark.

Zhang Jianfei yelled loudly, pumping all the energy in his body to resist.

Unexpectedly, that potential was like spring wind turning into rain, completely unstopped by the power of his vitality, blowing on him again.

The force seemed gentle, but the moment it acted on him, it caused his whole body to roll backwards to the ground.

Zhang Jianfei tried his best to control his figure and wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly, the potential of that palm was wave after wave, making him do somersaults four or five times before he squatted on the ground.

At this time, Zhang Jianfei's whole body was covered with dust and grass, and several weeds were planted on his head. He looked more and more embarrassed.

However, at this time, he obviously didn't have the heart to notice this point. Zhang Jianfei, who was sluggish, was immersed in the frustration of being defeated by Shang Xia with a single blow.

At this time, Shang Xia had already turned around and walked forward, but the voice came over: "Since you are also patrolling, didn't Ju Xing tell you that I have advanced to the Martial Extreme Realm?"

"Wuji Realm, is this the way of hardness and softness, or the way of virtual reality?"

Zhang Jianfei spit out these words with a little bitterness at first, and then a trace of anger appeared in his expression: "Good Ju Xing, no wonder you said those strange things to me before, I'm afraid it wasn't that this bastard had already been in Shang Xia's hands before. I'm so deflated, I feel angry and want to see my joke!"
