After Sun Lang quickly closed the coffin lid, the noise outside became louder and louder.
Angry curses, berating, shoving, roaring, and shouting. All these chaotic noises gathered together and interweaved into a multi-layered symphony. This was a little interesting.
After all, the cause of Wang Ren's death was so unusual — the heavy security, the study room that had been carefully searched, and the victim who hid his martial arts cultivation — the death of this prodigal son had become a taboo in the Wang family. They didn't even set up a mourning hall and didn't leave family members to keep watch over the coffin. All the clues and abnormalities showed that the Wang family obviously knew something.
In this delicate situation, the courtyard where Wang Ren lived became the most heavily guarded. If there was any noise and chaos here, it would inevitably mean that something was out of the control of the Wang family — so, it was very interesting.
Therefore, no matter who came, no matter what happened, Sun Lang would definitely hide and watch the show. It was easy to be discovered if he jumped on the roof beam, and it was a bit low to be buried in the soil. After thinking about it, only hiding in the coffin was more unique, creative, and very fun.
Yes, fun.
Sun Lang had been on the battlefield for six years. His teacher was the Spirit of the Imperial Army, who was of great seniority and profound accumulation. He learned the martial arts and military tactics that shocked the six armies and made the Sky Demon's face change. Later, he combined these skills with many fragments of memory from the earth and developed many imaginative and creative tactics.
Some of these ideas succeeded, and these brilliant victories and results could be made into a collection of blockbusters. Some failed, and those stupid things could be made into a collection of stupid things.
In those days, The Great Sun had crawled into the grass, carried the cardboard box, made the leap of faith, and opened the Peerless Skill, but he had never hidden in the coffin to attack people — in his impression, Wang Chongyang seemed to have done this, and became the first example of the coffin lid not being able to cover up.
Alas, it was a pity that Ouyang Feng's Toad Skill was broken by Wang Chongyang's One Yang Finger. That was the Toad Skill, and it was broken just like that. It gave people a feeling that it was harder.
Since Wang Chongyang could touch it, then so could I.
Sun Lang happily lay down in the coffin. Although Wang Ren's body had been in there for a while, he didn't mind at all. He crossed his legs and changed into a more comfortable position.
He had seen Asura battlefields with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, not to mention such a small scene.
People who practiced martial arts were full of vigor, while people in the army were full of murderous intent. Sun Lang was also a top figure in these two fields. His Qi was so strong that no evil could invade it. The gloomy Qi that had just been produced in the coffin was immediately dispersed by his Qi.
He lay in the coffin and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements outside.
The shouting became louder and louder, and it seemed that there was even some pushing and friction. It seemed that this group of uninvited guests wanted to force their way in, but they were stopped by the guards here. The two sides were at a stalemate, and their anger grew. Their mouths were somewhat dirty.
[Motherf * cker, why don't you do it?]
The two sides didn't do anything, and Sun Lang was very bored. Suddenly, he heard a thunderous roar, "Why are you stopping me?
Brother Wang and I are brothers in life and death, and our friendship is made of iron. He died for no reason, and the murderer is unknown. As his brother, can't I even take one last look at him? "
The other side's tone didn't back down, "Master Shi, please forgive us!
Third Master has ordered us to be careful. Without his order, even if the Heavenly King comes, we are not allowed to enter. If anything happens, we will bring our heads to see you. If Master Shi insists on forcing his way in, we can only fight with our lives! "
That "Master Shi" said angrily, "You think I don't dare to kill you?"
Master Shi?
Sun Lang only knew Shi Da Lin, but he didn't know who this Master Shi was, but …
Was it someone from the Shi family?
Jia Shi, Wang Xue, the four big families of Jin Ling, Sun Lang didn't know much about them. His biggest impression of the Shi family was that the Old Madam of the Rongguo family was from the Shi family. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Wait …
Sun Lang suddenly remembered something.
A few years ago, Sun Lang's reputation rose in the army. As the saying goes, a mother's status rose because of her son. A young general with a bright future and outstanding military achievements could not only raise his mother's status, but also the whole family. Naturally, the status of the Rongguo family also rose. According to the four big families' nature of supporting each other, if there was such a big leg in the army, they would definitely pounce on it and kiss and lick it.
But in fact, there was no such thing.
At that time, Sun Lang's name was already well known. His military exploits were illustrious, and he was highly regarded. His power was already established, and he had almost leapt into the ranks of the top generals of the Empire. Even the stupidest person would know that age had already become General Jia's final weakness. And if he could continue to win, then age was nothing.
Entering the Martial Arts Hall to establish a pavilion, holding a sword to worship the Prime Minister, and assisting the Royal Court. This was the highest achievement in the history of the empire, and this General Jia seemed to have touched the edge of it before the age of 30.
Logically speaking, with such an earth-shattering thigh, not only would the various branches and manors of the Jia Mansion kneel down and sing "Conquer" without any principles, the other three families would also shamelessly lick his boots. Even the other aristocratic families of Jiangnan would express goodwill and fawn on him, seeing "Marshal Jia," who came from the Rongguo Mansion, as the natural leader of the South, and then choose to rely on him.
According to common sense, they would do their best to support Sun Lang. The huge wealth accumulated by the southern families would be exchanged for weapons, provisions, warhorses, and other supplies, regardless of the local support for the army under Sun Lang's command. The literati raised by the southern families would flatter and promote Sun Lang without any bottom line. The various talents cultivated by the southern families would continuously go north to join the army and join Sun Lang's command.
This was an investment, a choice, and a choice. Only by paying would one be able to get more. It should be known that a future Prime Minister who was not even 30 years old and could influence the empire's military and political circles for at least 50 years, could provide a huge return that was far greater than the small price they paid.
According to common sense, the cunning and scheming Jiangnan aristocratic families would have done so.
But they didn't.
There was nothing. There was no support of money, no support of the navy, and no support of talents.
Not only did the Xia Zhou and the southern families, even the other three families that were called the four great families along with the Jia manor did not express anything. The Wang family's talents had withered, and the Xue family had turned to business. However, the Shi family was full of talents and had produced many heroes. Of course, there were many heroes with outstanding military achievements, but none of them went to work under Sun Lang's command.
This was rather strange.
At the time, Sun Lang was different, and his thinking was different. At the time, he was foolish and naive, and had a natural guilty conscience about his false identity. He wanted everything related to the Jia manor to be as far away from him as possible. If the young talents of the Shi family did not run over to his side, he would be more than happy.
As for the southern families not coming over to join him, he also did not care. He, Great Master Sun, was a successor to communism born under the red flag. He had a natural enmity and rejection of this entrenched feudal landlord class. Furthermore, he had always walked the mass line. The soldiers under his command were mostly good comrades with simple proletarian feelings. There was no need to accept a group of strange people.
— — In any case, he could still do well.
But now, he had experienced many things, and his mentality and outlook had changed drastically. Although the things of the past had become memories, regardless of whether he was happy or angry, they would not linger in his heart. However, it was precisely because of this detached outlook that he was able to notice things that he did not notice at the time.
Strange … — — why did the Shi family and the southern families not kneel down and lick my boots at that time?
— — Actually, it was not strange.
Sun Lang's lips curled into a cold smile.
At that time, his reputation was outstanding, and his military achievements were so outstanding. It was likely that he had already aroused the fear of the Emperor and that group of people. Or rather, their vigilance and fear had never disappeared.
Under such circumstances, how could they allow me to obtain the support and investment of the southern families?
Among the southern families, there was no lack of smart people. They did not kneel down and lick my boots, not because they were not smart, but because they had received some kind of warning and warning …
Then, was the Shi family the same?
A strange light flashed in Sun Lang's eyes.
The Shi family … warning and warning. Who was the one that warned and warned them?
Other than warning them, did they do something else?
What kind of role was the Shi family playing now?
As soon as he thought of this, he already had a plan in mind. The stalemate outside was still ongoing. He thought of something and smiled coldly — — Since you are not going to make a move, I will add fuel to the fire.
He stretched out his hand and the coffin lid silently slid open. Sun Lang jumped out and quietly walked to the side of the door. Outside, there were two groups of people confronting each other.
Sun Lang smiled faintly. He stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the door. An indiscernible and invisible Sword Qi shot out from his finger and silently shot towards the outside.
This energy contained the sharp metal power of the Golden Radiance Sacred Sword.
It belonged to the Golden Radiance Sacred Sword.
A Shi family knight holding a sword in his hand was shouting at the opposite side. His heart was burning with anger. Suddenly, he felt the sword in his hand vibrate, and then his blood boiled. The irritability and killing intent in his heart were stimulated by the Golden Radiance Sacred Sword. Like a flood, it rushed out and broke the line of defense of his mind.
He lost control of his body and involuntarily roared and slashed at the person opposite him.
All of this happened so quickly that before anyone could react, the Splashing Wind Broadsword had already turned into a cold beam of light and slashed out.
The Wang family guard on the opposite side saw that the sword was about to hit him. It was so fierce that it had already enveloped his whole body. There was almost no way for him to escape.
He was about to lose his life. The fear of death stimulated all of his potential. He roared and thrust his sword towards his opponent's chest. This was a desperate gamble, a madness of exchanging a life for a life. If he succeeded, he would be able to force this bastard to retreat. If not, he would drag him down with him!
At this critical moment, two figures rushed over. One of them grabbed the back of the Shi family's knight's neck, and the other grabbed the right arm of the Wang family's guard. They both pulled back, and the two people who were about to die together flew back, avoiding the tragedy of both of them dying. The people who made the move were the two brothers, Shi Stallone and Shi Wengong.
Although Stallone looked boorish and unruly, he was actually very meticulous and thoughtful. They came to the Wang Family to explore a certain secret, but they did not plan to completely fall out with the Wang Family. If someone died here and they fought, the situation would become very passive.
That was why he had acted so quickly. His younger brother, Shi Wengong, knew what he was thinking and pulled them apart at the critical moment. Shi Stallone threw the Shi Family's knight behind him and looked at him coldly. This idiot had almost ruined his plan. Although it was not the right time to act, he would definitely skin him alive after this matter was over.
Shi Wengong also threw out the Wang Family guard in his hand.
Shi Wengong, who was known as the hawk of the Shi family, was quick-witted. Although he pulled the two people apart and avoided casualties, he still made a move. Moreover, he was the one who made the first move. It was inevitable that he would become the subject of ridicule. He immediately shouted, "Don't be long-winded!
You can't make the decision. Ask your third master to come here! "
As soon as he finished his words, he heard a muffled sound.
There was the sound of liquid splashing on the ground. It sounded like someone was vomiting blood.
Shi Wengong was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked in the direction of the sound. The Wang family guard who was thrown away by Shi Wengong fell to the ground and curled up in pain. He vomited a large mouthful of blood. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
What happened?
Shi Wengong subconsciously looked at his hand. I didn't use any strength.
For a moment, the air suddenly became quiet. The Shi family knight, the Wang family guard, and even Shi Stallone. Everyone's eyes were focused on the helpless Shi Wengong.
At this time, Shi Wengong was wondering if he had unknowingly improved his skills and injured the Wang family guard.
After a moment of confusion, Shi Wengong realized that he was in a terrible situation. Then, the quick-witted hawk of the Shi family made the most correct choice.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one could react, he calmly walked towards the Wang family guard. At this point, he couldn't push the blame to the Wang family guard. He had to treat him with respect. He had to apologize. He had to treat him. He had to give him medicine. However, his attitude had to be neither servile nor overbearing. He had to let them know that he …
— — Huh?
Shi Wengong, who was thinking of countermeasures and perfecting his train of thought, suddenly felt that he was tripped.
Perhaps it was because of the sudden change that made him panic. Perhaps it was because he was deep in thought and his reaction was slightly delayed. Perhaps it was because the position of the stone was just right.
In short, Shi Wengong, the hawk of the Shi family, was a talent in Jinling. He was recommended by the elders of the family to be the best spear user in the family. He was talented and had a bright future.
He tripped over a stone.
Shi Wengong's basic skills were incomparably solid, and his lower body skills were very strong. Even when he encountered such a situation, he was still able to remain calm and adapt to the situation. With his extremely strong reaction speed, he made the most reasonable response. He used the Seven Stars Footwork and took advantage of the situation to rush forward.
With his lower body skills, even if he tripped over the stone, as long as he took two steps forward, he would be able to stand firm. He took the first step. His steps were clean and his body was graceful.
Then, he took the second step. It was like an immortal walking on the moon. It was as if he was crossing the sea.
Bang.
It was like a curve shot that led to victory.
He kicked, he kicked. Shi Wengong's right leg kicked the Wang family guard on the ground at lightning speed. A shocking scene happened in Wang Ren's former residence.
In this land that was tainted by blood, a second cruel crime was being committed.
As if in slow motion, everyone's mouth was wide open as they watched the body of the Wang family guard slowly fly into the sky. It drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the distance.
Then, there was an even more tragic scream.
The air became even quieter.
Shi Wengong, who was frozen in place, looked at his right leg in disbelief. He clearly didn't use any strength. He clearly just rushed forward. Even if he accidentally kicked the guard, how could he send him flying?
— — Did my martial arts really improve?
Shi Wengong was the first to recover. He angrily roared: "Did you not bring your brain today?!"
Shi Wengong shouted: "I didn't use any strength!"
Although this was the truth, in such a complicated situation, it was not stingy with the most vicious mockery. The guards of the Wang family who were rooted to the ground finally regained their senses. Raging flames of anger rose in their chests. Again and again, could the Shi family do whatever they wanted?!
"You are going too far!" One of the guards angrily said, "I will fight with you!"
The Wang family guards who shared a common enemy broke out a heroic fighting spirit and rushed toward the hateful Shi family invaders. A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated!
Seeing this group of people coming at them aggressively, the Shi family knights all took out their weapons. This scene aroused the anger of the Wang family guards. Damn it, you really came to fight!
Shi Wengong gritted his teeth. At this point, it was useless to say more. He shouted: "Big brother!"
Stallone was also a decisive person. Although he didn't know what was wrong with Shi Wengong, or what had just happened, it was useless to talk about it now.
Let's get through this hurdle first!
He roared: "I don't care!
Let's fight our way in first! "
Shi Wengong shouted: "Stop them!"
The Shi family's knights immediately went up to the Wang family's guards while the two Shi brothers rushed towards the main hall in the courtyard. They were both the Shi family's younger generation's elites and their martial arts were outstanding. Even though the Wang family's guards were the elites of the Shi family, they still couldn't stop the two young masters of the Shi family from charging towards them.
The few people who blocked the way were casually pushed away by Shi Wengong and Shi Wengong. They didn't intend to kill people, so they just knocked them away. Shi Wengong rushed to the door. The muscles on his arms burst out. He slammed the door hard and the sun shone directly into the room.
Senran's cold wind blew out of the room. In the middle of the hall, there was a black coffin. There was no one in the room. Only the cold air lingered in the room. It was like the last sigh of the dead.
When the Wang family guards saw this, they rushed over. Shi Wengong had already rushed in. He stretched out his hand and touched the coffin. It was heavy. He said happily: "It's really inside!"
Shi Wengong pushed away the two guards who rushed up and shouted: "Open the coffin!"
"Okay!"
