Chapter 502 Chapter 504 Black Robe Man
“I think, young lady, you don’t have to worry too much about the family’s affairs. You have been in charge of family affairs before the end of the world, and everyone can see it. Even if there are occasional mistakes, it doesn’t mean anything. In today’s chaotic world, who else can take on such an important responsibility except young lady?” The middle-aged man who spoke was the leader of another mercenary group under the Gong family.
"Captain Wu, you may not understand the situation. That Young Master Jian is jumping up and down and wants to change his surname. His mother is the only daughter of the old patriarch. The old patriarch has been in poor health in recent years. This lady has been by his side to take care of him and chat with him. Young Master Jian, the grandson, is also very favored in front of the old patriarch. On the contrary, the young lady is busy with official duties, and the relationship between her and the old patriarch is becoming increasingly distant. In addition, the recent battles have suffered setbacks. Some people in the Gong family have questioned the young lady's command ability. Therefore, the young lady's status in the family is not optimistic now!" said a man who looked like a butler standing next to Zhou Jinxiu!
"Miss, what should we do next?" a subordinate asked nervously.
"I know the situation within the family. Jian Yi Guang is just a clown and there is nothing to be afraid of. You go back and guard your respective territories and do your own work. If there are any arrangements, I will send someone to notify you!" Gong Hanyu said to the people present.
"Yes." Everyone took the order and left.
In addition to the two strongholds that were attacked by the Tianhe Mercenary Group, the Gong family has three other strongholds, and the persons in charge of those three strongholds were present.
Zhou Jinxiu looked at Gong Hanyu's calm expression and felt a little uneasy. She knew Gong Hanyu's temper very well. She shouldn't react like this after suffering such a big loss.
"Miss, although the Tiger Mercenary Group has not given a clear answer, the Sword Mercenary Group is willing to cooperate. The eldest lady of the Ning family has sent people to secretly seek a meeting several times. If the power of the Tianhe Mercenary Group can be eradicated, the master of the Ning family will definitely help with all his strength." Zhou Jinxiu said comfortingly.
"Haha, those people just want to follow behind and reap some benefits, but they will make excuses when asked to take real action." Gong Hanyu said disdainfully.
"Miss, the Lijian Mercenary Group is afraid that the Tianhe Mercenary Group will grow and threaten their interests. The Ning family's eldest branch has a deep grudge against the Seventh Young Master. They are all sincere about cooperation!" Zhou Jinxiu analyzed.
"What's the use of sincerity alone? Everyone wants to hide behind and take advantage. If the Ning family hadn't fled to avoid the fight yesterday, we wouldn't have lost so many people!" Gong Hanyu became furious when he mentioned this.
If she didn't know that Ning Zhici and Ning Qingyun were irreconcilable, she would have suspected that the people Ning Zhici sent were not to help, but to hinder them.
After the battle yesterday, Ning Zhici sent people with many valuable gifts to apologize, including the body of the man who led the escape. Ning Zhici said that this man was a spy planted in the family by Ning Qingyun. This exposure allowed him to follow the clues and eliminate many spies. Next time they cooperate, this kind of thing will never happen again.
After Gong Hanyu suffered this loss, how could she dare to trust him again?
"So what are your plans?" Before Zhou Jinxiu finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared in the room.
The man was wearing a wide cloak, and his face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak and could not be seen clearly. Judging from his tall figure, it was a man.
Zhou Jinxiu subconsciously drew his sword and blocked Gong Hanyu, shouting, "Who are you?"
"Jinxiu, don't be rude." Gong Hanyu scolded and came out from behind the table.
"Miss, he..." Zhou Jinxiu looked at Gong Hanyu hesitantly, as if she had thought of something.
"Jinxiu, you go down! Pass the order, no one is allowed to approach here!" Gong Hanyu was not surprised at the arrival of this man, it was obvious that they had an agreement in advance.
"Yes, Miss." Seeing this, Zhou Jinxiu could only respond and retreat.
"Miss Gong, your maid seems to have guessed my identity. Are you sure she won't say anything nonsense?" The man in black robe had a strange accent and his voice was very hoarse.
"No." Gong Hanyu looked at the person who came with a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing whether it was sadness or joy.
"So Miss Gong sent me this letter. Does that mean she agrees to join us?" asked the man in black robe.
"The total population affiliated with my Gong family is several thousand. As the head of the Gong family, how could I join another organization? Let's not bring up this topic again in the future!" Gong Hanyu said decisively.
"Then what is Miss Gong's purpose in sending me this letter by flying crane?" The man in black robe did not seem to be very angry about Gong Hanyu's refusal. It was obvious that Gong Hanyu's refusal was within his expectations.
"You help me kill someone, and I will help you get the treasure you want. How about this deal?" Gong Hanyu said.
"Oh, there are many treasures I want. Which one can Miss Gong take out?" The man in black robe became interested instantly after hearing Gong Hanyu's proposal.
Gong Hanyu took out an illustration from the table and pointed to a red spiritual herb with linear drooping leaves and curled wavy edges at the edge of the illustration. He said, "This is the Curly-winged Grass. I found it."
This atlas was given to Gong Hanyu by the man in black robe, who promised that if she found the treasure in the atlas, she could trade it with him.
The black-robed man looked at the winged grass and shook his head. "Miss Gong has so many people under her, but they can't do anything to that man. That means he is either extremely powerful or in a high position. He must be very difficult to deal with. It will be troublesome to kill him. If we alert your army, it will be troublesome. It's not worth taking such a big risk just to get this winged grass."
The man in black seemed to have adapted to the way of speaking and was speaking much more fluently than before.
"The person I asked you to kill is a cultivator at the Qiqiao realm, and she has two children with her. As for her defense capabilities, they are far inferior to the defense deployment of my Gong family. It will be easy for you to assassinate her. If you don't believe me, you can investigate first and then decide whether to make the deal!" Gong Hanyu said as he handed a piece of paper to the man in black robe. On the paper was a portrait of Rong Xianxian, her address, as well as an introduction to her personal background and combat power.
The man in black robe took the paper without much care. With his strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill anyone. The reason why he was unwilling to act rashly was that he was afraid of attracting the attention of those people.
When he first arrived in this area, he thought he could do whatever he wanted with his strength. However, when he set his eyes on a level 4 monster and planned to tame it and use it as a mount, a strange ball with flames shot towards him accurately. He didn't know what it was, so he ran backwards based on his instinct for danger. With a "boom", the huge monster was blown into pieces.
