Chapter 300 Strange

Although the Demon Cult is a sect organization based on the green forest underworld, most of the lives done by the believers in the sect are illegal businesses that the court explicitly prohibited. It should be the key target of the court. However, the Demon Cult has been in the southeast for more than a hundred years and has not only not been flattened by the court, but has become increasingly stronger. There are actually some deep-seated reasons.

Moreover, after the Demon Cult developed to a certain level and had already been in a difficult situation, the court also formed a tacit understanding with the Demon Cult. The court generally did not take action against the middle and senior leaders of the Demon Cult and the core members of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult also had to "abid the rules" and did not easily touch those things that would shake the foundation of the court's rule, compromise with each other, and be at peace with each other.

Although neither the court nor the Demon Sect had ever admitted this, the people in the martial arts world were as clear as a mirror, because this was not the special treatment of the court to the Demon Sect. For those powerful martial arts sects, the court almost treated this strategy with such a strategy.

Because of this, Ling Muyun was so shocked at this time. The court actually issued a wanted order to go to war with the Demon Sect. Is this going to start a full war with the Demon Sect?

Ling Muyun's mind moved, looking at the drawings on the wanted sign, and saw that the person on the figure had a half-white hair, thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, hooked nose, a face with clear edges and angular edges and white beards under his chin. Although it was just a portrait, it also faintly revealed a powerful and domineering meaning.

Although Ling Muyun had never seen Xiang Tianwen's real person, he also saw that this picture was definitely from the hand of a skilled fine brushwork painter, and most of the painters had seen Xiang Tianwen himself, otherwise it would not have been so vivid and lifelike.

This is exactly what Ling Muyun finds strange. Xiang Tianwen, as the Left Guardian of the Demon Sect, is a high-level emperor among the Demon Sect. He rarely appears in the world. Usually, only some senior officials and core members of the Demon Sect can see him. How could the painters in the court see him?

But despite his doubts, no one could answer him now, so he had to suppress his doubts, squeeze out the crowd, and return to everyone.

"Brother Yun, what's going on over there?" Huang Rong hurriedly came up to ask when she saw Ling Muyun turn around.

"There is a wanted order issued by the government to reward the wanted thieves in Jiangyang. This attracted so many people to watch."

"The wanted order for a reward? How much silver was there?" Huang Rong was immediately interested and said, "If the price is good, if we meet it, we might as well take it down and go to the government to exchange for some pocket money."

The others also turned their attention to Ling Muyun. Obviously, they were also very curious about this.

Ling Muyun looked a little strange and said, "The price offered by the government this time is not low. He offered a reward of 500,000 taels of silver. However, with our ability, don't think about this reward."

"Five hundred thousand taels?"

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Although no one present was short of money, they were still shocked by such a huge reward.

Five hundred thousand taels are not a small amount. Even the Ling family and the Wang family have great business and thousands of men under their command work hard, and they may not be able to make this amount in a year. As for the current price level of the Great Xia Dynasty, a few taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month. Five hundred thousand taels are enough for tens of thousands of families to spend a year and still have a surplus. The tax revenue of an ordinary county is just this amount, and some counties with backward development cannot even reach it. The amount of this money can be imagined.

"Who is the one who is wanted by the government? How could he offer such a big reward?"

After being surprised, everyone became curious and wanted to know who they were. They could actually get the government to offer such a big reward.

"Qing Tianwen!" Ling Muyun glanced at everyone and spit out a name.

As soon as the three words "Xiang Tianwen" were released, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They finally knew why the imperial court offered such a high reward, because the name "Xiang Tianwen" was too loud in the world, and it cannot be said that it was well-known to everyone, but most people in the world would not be unfamiliar with this name, because this name represents a strong man, Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect! For this person, let alone just offer a reward of 500,000 taels of silver, even if it offers a reward of one million taels, no one would think it was high!

It is precisely because of knowing Xiang Tianwen's identity that everyone was so shocked. Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect, the second-rate figure of the Demon Sect, and a top-notch master who has already reached the realm of innate success in martial arts. They are people who are about to shock the entire world. How could such a big man be wanted by the government for a reward? Is the court determined to wipe out the Demon Sect?

"Let's go and have a look!"

A hint of urgency suddenly appeared on his face, and he moved his body and ran towards the crowd. After arriving at the place, he didn't squeeze the crowd. He directly scolded and pushed at the onlookers and said, "Get out of here, get out of here, don't get out of here!"

"Who are you? Why should you scold me?"

A young man dressed in a scholar among the onlookers was standing in front of Wang Jiaju because he was in a low position, which made Wang Jiaju stagger and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help but turn around and glar at the Wang brothers.

"Get out of here, don't get in the way!"

However, Wang Jiaju didn't go to argue with the scholar at all. He slapped his hand and slapped in the face. With a crisp "pop", the scholar was beaten to the side. His originally white cheeks immediately swollen, and a mouthful of blood mixed with two falling teeth spewed out.

Wang Jiajun was not much polite than his younger brother. While pushing and shoving, he also scolded: "Get out of here, you dare to interfere with the work of the Golden Dao Wang family. Are you fucking dead?"

Those onlookers were quite resentful, and they were afraid to beat Wang Jiaju when he saw him attacking him. They also heard that it was from the Jindao Wang family. Everyone's faces changed color and they dared not argue anymore. They all swallowed their anger and left in a hurry. Even the beaten scholar did not dare to say anything. They got up from the ground and even left without even the dust stained on their clothes.

Ling Muyun, who was behind, couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene, suppressing people with power and using martial arts to commit crimes. What's the difference between doing this and doing this? Although no one stipulates that those who practice martial arts must be knights who stand up for justice and help the weak, it is a bit too much to practice martial arts but bully ordinary people who know how to do martial arts.

Not only Ling Muyun, but also Huang Rong and others were quite disgusted with it, so they saw Huang Rong ask, "Sister Xiuling, is your Wang family so domineering in their daily lives?"

Among Ling Muyun, only Mei Ruohua didn't feel anything. In her previous life, she and her husband Chen Xuanfeng made a famous name for the two evil spirits of the Black Wind. In order to practice the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, there were not a thousand or hundreds of unjust souls who died under her. Naturally, she did not take this little evil deed by the Wang brothers seriously.

Wang Xiuling raised her head slightly and said proudly: "That's right, there are tens of thousands of families in Luoyang City. Our Jindao Wang family claims to be second, so no one dares to be first. Even if the Lord of the State Councilor has to be polite when he sees my grandfather, he has to discuss some things with our Wang family. It can be said that in this Luoyang City, there is nothing that our Jindao Wang family cannot do!"

Ling Muyun and Huang Rong couldn't help frowning when they heard this. Looking at Wang Xiuling's appearance, they not only did not feel ashamed, but were proud. Looking at the style of the brothers Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju, it seems that this is his cheap grandfather's family style.

At this time, Wang Jiajun and Wang Jiaju walked back with a bad look. When they arrived in front of everyone, they forced a smile. They said, "You are all hungry. Let's go to Songhe Tower."

"Brother, second brother. Is the one who is wanted there really the Demon Sect Zuo Tianjun Xiang Tianwen?" Wang Xiuling asked.

"That's right."

"But Xiang Tianwen isn't Zuo Tianjun of the Demon Sect? How dare the government offer a reward to arrest him? Are you not afraid of annoying the Demon Sect and opposing the court?"

Wang Xiuling asked this. The Wang brothers' faces became more and more gloomy. Wang Jiaju said hard: "We are not from the court, how do we know what the court thinks? You are a girl's family, why do you ask so many useless things?"

Wang Xiuling's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't expect Wang Jiaju to say this suddenly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her face. She is the only daughter in the family and has always been spoiled. How could she bear this tone? She immediately screamed: "I'll ask what's wrong? Are you still not even allowed to say anything? Don't vent your anger on me if you have any!"

Ling Muyun and Huang Rong not only looked at each other, but also saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes. They were as smart as them, and they could see something wrong with the Wang brothers. It is very strange that Xiang Tianwen was wanted by the government, but no matter what, it was the matter between the Demon Sect and the government, and it had nothing to do with others. Why did the Wang brothers react so much?

Wang Jiajun quickly smoothed out and said, "Okay, okay, little sister, your second brother just talks casually. You don't have to be angry. Can you make trouble for a little bit of idle business? You're not afraid of cousin Mu Yun and the others taking a joke. Okay, let's go to have a meal quickly!"

After Wang Jiajun's persuasion, Wang Jiaju and Wang Xiuling both restrained their tempers and said no more. The group set off again.

Under the leadership of the Wang brothers and sisters, everyone turned two streets and suddenly found a two-story restaurant with a grand door. A large plaque with three gold-plated characters "Songhelou" was written on it. Wang Jiaju said: "My cousin Mu Yun, Miss Huang, this is what I am talking about."

As he spoke, he led everyone in.

"Big Master, Second Master, Miss, are you all here? Please, please, please, please, please, please!"

As soon as everyone walked to the door, the shopkeeper came out from inside, smiling like a flower on his face. Obviously, the Wang brother and sister did not lie before, and they were indeed regular customers of this Songhe Tower.

Wang Jiajun said: "My man, today we brothers and sisters came to treat you Songhe Tower. You have to give us some face and make it well. If you eat well, I will have a reward. If you don't eat well, don't blame the young master for smashing your Songhe Tower's signature!"

"Okay, don't worry, Second Master. I will instruct the kitchen to cook carefully and adjust it later, so I will not let you down. Please come inside!"

Everyone immediately entered the Songkran Tower.

Like many large restaurants, the first floor is the lobby and the second floor is the elegant seat. Generally speaking, the lobby is used to entertain ordinary people. The place is large and the seats are many, and the price is relatively affordable. The elegant seat on the second floor is used to entertain some rich people, with few seats and spacious seats. The ingredients are also exquisite, and the taste is much better than the downstairs. Of course, the price is much higher. However, people who go to the second floor eat by themselves are self-reliant, and no one cares about it because of a little money.

As the Wang brother and sister, they came to Songhe Tower for dinner and naturally would not be in the lobby. The gang led everyone to the second floor. At Ling Muyun's suggestion, everyone found Zhang Linzhan's table and sat down.

Since traveling through time, Ling Muyun has developed the habit of eating by the window. Whenever he goes to a restaurant, he likes to find a seat by the window so that he can eat and drink while watching the scenery.

Of course, this is also because the environment in the martial arts world is good. If it were the modern city where Ling Muyun lived before traveling through time, the air was filled with industrial waste gas and automobile exhaust gas, a little over three hundred and sixty-five days a year was hazy weather. Ling Muyun was too late to hide, so she would not be able to see any scenery by the window.

However, Ling Muyun proposed to sit by the window today, but it was not just to want to see the scenery, but to have another reason.

Ling Muyun was very sure of his judgment. He always felt that his three cheap cousins ​​brought them here for a purpose. Although he was confident that he could handle any tricks that the Wang brothers and sisters could do, it was also good to make more preparations. Choosing a seat next to the window is convenient for observing the situation outside, and it was easier to deal with any emergencies when encountering them.

The shop assistant brought the recipe over and asked with a smile: "Several young masters and ladies, what do you want to order? This is the recipe."

Wang Jiaju brought the recipe over and asked Ling Muyun and others to order the dishes. Ling Muyun pushed the recipe back and said with a smile: "Come with the host, let's talk about this restaurant. Besides, we are not familiar with this restaurant. Second cousin, please order it."

"Okay, then I'll order a few of his specialties here first. Next, you can add whatever you want to eat."

Wang Jiaju was no longer humble and immediately took the recipe back and ordered: "Get a flower cooked quail, chrysanthemum rabbit shredded, scented deer legs, deer belly stuffed with Jiang Yao, ginger vinegar, gold and silver hooves, mandarin duck fried beef tendon... Well. Come on two more jars of the best flower carvings."

Then Wang Jiajun and Wang Xiuling ordered a few dishes and then handed them over to Ling Muyun and others. Ling Muyun and others ordered a few dishes, and a total of more than 20 dishes and two jars of aged flower sculptures were ordered.

The shopkeeper saw that everyone had ordered so many good wine and dishes at a high price, so he was naturally happy and smiled and prepared.

It was not long since the time was enough, and the food was served, so everyone started to eat and drink. Ling Muyun felt it and found that the dishes in Songhelou were quite good, and it was not in vain that the Wang brothers and sisters recommended it. Although it was even worse than Huang Rong's craftsmanship, it was indeed a delicacy compared to other families.

Ling Muyun couldn't help but wonder, could his cheap cousins ​​just simply want to invite him and Rong'er and others to have a good meal? Is he thinking too much?

However, Ling Muyun shook his head in his heart and rejected this idea. His feeling was not wrong. The Wang brother and sister insisted on inviting them to come here for dinner. It must have ulterior motives, otherwise he would not have had the same behavior as before.

At this moment, Ling Muyun's afterglow swept his eyes and suddenly found a man walking out of the teahouse diagonally opposite the restaurant. He saw that the man was wearing a brocade robe, probably in his thirties or forties, his temples were slightly raised, and he was wearing a sheathed sword around his waist. When he walked, he walked lightly, and he looked like a practitioner with good light body skills.

The reason I noticed this man was because Ling Muyun always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in him, but he was sure that he had never seen this person before.

Just when Ling Muyun was still thinking about why he felt a sense of familiarity with this person, he saw that the man did not go anywhere else after coming out of the teahouse, but walked straight towards the Songkran Tower where they were. While Ling Muyun was thinking, he had already stepped into the Songkran Tower.

"Dingdeng..."

There was a sound of stairs, and Ling Muyun looked at it and saw that the man with a sword had already walked up to the second floor accompanied by the shop assistant.

The man came upstairs and glanced at the second floor. His eyes paused suddenly when he swept to Ling Muyun and the others' table. The light flashed in his eyes. Then he turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, walked to a table not far from several people and sat down.

As the man with swordsman went upstairs, the Wang brother and sister looked at each other, and a strange look flashed in their eyes at the same time, which was quite tacit.

Although the eyes of the Wang brothers and sisters separated after just a little contact, they still did not escape Ling Muyun's eyes. Ling Muyun's heart suddenly became clear. It seemed that this sword man was probably the program prepared by his three cheap cousins ​​for them.

Thinking of this, Ling Muyun was drinking and eating, while secretly paying attention to this man wearing a sword.

After the man with a sword sat down, he ordered to the guy with a rough voice: "Give me a plate of sweet and sour fish, a plate of fumigated chicken, a plate of five-spice beef, and a plate of pork trotters..." He ordered six or seven dishes in a row, all of which were meat dishes such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Then he ordered another jar of good wine, and then waved his hand to ask the guy to step down and prepare.

The time was not long, so the shopkeeper brought the wine and food to the man with swordsman. The man reached out and grabbed a pig's trotter and ate it a few times, poured a glass of wine and drank it dry, glanced at Ling Muyun with a slant, then poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, and walked towards Ling Muyun and the others in a square step.

"It's really here!"
