Chapter 221

A Tier 4 martial artist died outside Tongyou City, which was considered a major event for all the forces gathered in Tongyou City.

It's just that after the initial suspicion, Shang Ke immediately put it behind him, and waved his hand: "Whatever he is doing so much, let's go, let's go home first!"

Although the merchant's convoy was attacked in Tongyou City inexplicably, the time from the beginning to the end was actually not too long.

Although the attack caused some confusion at the beginning and caused some losses to the convoy, the situation was quickly controlled by the Shang family.

After the convoy started to move forward, the middle-aged strange man with a long sword that Shang Xia noticed earlier came over.

This person's eyes fell on Shang Xia for a moment, then looked at Shang Ke, and said, "Fifth Uncle, what should Yu Wugou and Qiao Han do?"

Shang Ke waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Except for sending the living to Tongyou Academy, you can handle the rest!"

The man cupped his hands and was about to turn around and leave when Shang Ke stopped him.

"Don't go yet!"

Shang Ke greeted him, then looked at Shang Xia beside him, and said, "He is your second uncle, Shang Jian, and he is the son of your great grandfather."

In fact, when Shang Jian called Shang Ke "Fifth Uncle", although Shang Xia was a little surprised, he had already guessed.

When Shang Ke stopped Shang Jian and introduced it to Shang Xia, Shang Xia's expression was still calm, and he just called "Second Uncle" respectfully with a smile, and Shang Jian also only nodded out of politeness. Nodding, even the smile on his face looked a bit forced.

This "Second Uncle" was just out of politeness. In fact, whether it was Shang Xia who spoke or Shang Jian who was called, there was a sense of alienation between them.

It has been seventeen or eighteen years since Shang Xia was born, and he has never seen this second uncle before, and he has never even heard of it.

"Your second uncle has been away before, and recently heard about the battle between the two worlds and the serious injury of Kou Shanzhang. He was worried about the comfort of his family, so he rushed back to Tongyou City from Jizhou." Shang Ke simply explained.

Shang Xia said: "I have to worry about Erbo Lao!"

Shang Jian nodded slightly, then looked at Shang Ke, and said, "I'll go first!"

After all, he turned around and left.

Shang Ke beside him looked at the back of Shang going away, and sighed insignificantly.

"Aren't you curious? Nothing to ask?"

Shang Ke was a little uncomfortable with Shang Xia's silence.

Shang Xia smiled and said: "I should know, you all will know sooner or later, it has something to do with the invasion of foreign domains for twenty years. Just like my father, if you don't want to talk about it, I never ask. This matter Same!"

Shang Ke didn't know how to respond for a while, and fell into silence for a while.

The grandfather and grandson followed the convoy back to the family residence. When they saw the gate of the business from a distance, Shang Ke suddenly said: "You are a smart kid. Although you don't ask, I'm afraid you have already guessed a lot in your heart, and you don't know what to do. Understand that even if we ask, we may not say it.”

Shang Xia smiled and said: "I know very well that all problems are ultimately caused by insufficient cultivation and strength."

Shang Ke was taken aback for a moment, shook his head with a self-deprecating wry smile, and then said: "After this battle, our side seems to have the upper hand in the battle between the two worlds, but in fact it has pushed the situation to a more dangerous one. Therefore, in the next few years, whether it is Tongyou Academy, or the four major families, or even the entire Tongyou City, they must do everything possible to increase their own strength to respond! Therefore, the strength of the family must be concentrated as much as possible .This is not only done by the merchants, but also by the other three major families! And you may have heard that even the academy is expanding its enrollment!"

At this time, Shang Xia stared at the back of the second uncle in front of him for a few moments, and then suddenly asked, "Fifth Grandfather, is it because of him or them that my grandfather resigned from the position of patriarch?"

Shang Ke was taken aback for a while before he said, "Not all of them, and this is not the main reason."

Shang Xia nodded and said, "Understood!"

The Scarlet Cloud Beast under Shang Xia's crotch speeded up his return home.

Looking at Shang Xia's figure floating on the back of the Chiyun Beast, Shang Ke sighed slightly, with a hint of distress in his expression.

Before Shang Xia came to the gate of the merchant, he heard Shang Xi's voice from a distance from the gate.

"Shang Yang, I guess you've already returned. We were attacked at the intersection of Sancha Street just now. Why didn't you go?"

From a distance, Shang Xia saw a young warrior who was not much older than himself. He stuck a folding fan behind his neck, and with a begging expression, he trotted all the way to Shangxi's mount, while helping her off the horse. , made a dog-legged posture, and called Qu: "Seventh sister, you have wronged me. In this Tongyou city, what else can happen to our business? Besides, the second brother will take someone to rush Is it? Besides, there must always be someone in the family, isn’t it, what if it’s someone else’s plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?”

"Slick tongue!"

With a wave of his hand, Shang Xi brushed away Shang Yang's empty arm, directly pressed on his shoulder as a fulcrum, and then jumped off the Scarlet Cloud Beast.

Shang Yang bared his teeth for a while, it was obvious that Shang Xi's hand on his shoulder was definitely not too light.

"Okay, the martial arts will have been condensed, and the past few years have not been in vain. It seems that I have gained something in the Bailu blessed land."

After Shang Xi landed, he looked at Shang Yang beside him in surprise.

Shang Yang, who had a painful expression on his face, immediately changed his expression, and said: "Hey, I was thinking of giving Seventh Sister a surprise, by the way, I haven't congratulated Seventh Sister for her great progress. Now this is the first time I have gathered Er Dao martial arts will?"

Shang Xi let out a "tss", looked at him sideways and said, "Your kid is full of bad water, what kind of surprise, you probably want to show it off to me, right? If it weren't for this breakthrough in the battle between the two worlds, what would you boy do now?" Are you still flying to the sky?"

"Where can it be?"

Shang Yang said so, but the smirk on his face had already betrayed his thoughts.

"Uncle Nine!"

Shang Xia jumped off the Scarlet Cloud Beast, and walked quickly with a happy face.

Although Shang Yang and Shang Jian returned to Tongyou City together this time, Shang Xia had never met Shang Jian's second uncle since he was a child, but Shang Yang left Tongyou City ten years ago and was sent to the blessed land of Bailu Learning art, and returning to Tongyou City to visit relatives every once in a while.

Perhaps it was because of the similar age of the two, although the seniority was checked, the relationship between Shang Yang and Shang Xia, the uncle and nephew, was the best.

"Haha, Xiao Xia, I haven't seen you grow so tall for two years? Hey, you're about to overtake your suave Uncle Ninth!"

Shang Yang was even more delighted to see Shang Xia's expression.

At this time, Shang Jian had already arrived at the door of the business, and the originally happy atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Shang Yang coughed, and was about to say something when Shang Jian suddenly smiled, looked at Shang Xi and said, "Seventh Sister, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember Second Brother?"
