"There must be at least five hundred people, right?" Shui Han murmured at the Beining Guard who was leaving, and then said in shock: "What big thing happened? He was able to dispatch so many Beining Guards at one time? Is it related to what we encountered?"

After hearing Shui Han's words, Long Ye and Su Baisheng immediately thought of the recruitment of the White-Faced Ape Clan. Chen Dong looked at Shui Han with a questioning look, and then Shui Han roughly talked about the incident that happened to the White-Faced Ape Clan.

"This should have nothing to do with the recruitment of the monsters in the extreme north." After hearing Shui Han's words, Longye shook his head and said, "The strength of this team of Beining Guards is indeed very strong, but if he rushed into the extreme north like this, it would probably not be enough for those monsters to get stuck in the teeth. I guess something big happened somewhere."

"That's right." Shui Han thought for a while and then saw the teahouse owner passing by Longye, so he asked: "Shopkeeper, this large group of people passed by here just now. Do you know what they were going to do?"

"Looking at the appearance of several guests, you probably just came back from another place." The owner of the teahouse stopped and said, "This team of Beining Guards should have gone to Beijiang Prefecture to perform their mission."

"Is there something big happening in the Northern Frontier Prefecture?" Shui Han asked in confusion. Although Shui Han knew that the King of Beining was responsible for managing the entire northern part of the empire, the Beining Guard would not interfere in the affairs of each state, and the states would handle it themselves.

"I heard that a sect in Beijiang Prefecture had a rebellion. The King of Beining ordered that the sect be wiped out. These news were heard from past guests." The owner of the teahouse said: "In the past two days, many families have come to Qudongzhou. I heard that someone in their family participated in the birthday of a certain ancestor of that sect. The people of their family were surrounded and could not go out, so they had to come to Qudongzhou to find various relationships, hoping to save the lives of their children. All of them know. If the guests want to know what happened, it would be better to go to the city to inquire. There are still many news about this in the past two days."

"Thank you, the shopkeeper." Shui Han said with a smile: "I'm just curious about the team of people who have just passed by. As for going to inquire specifically, let's forget it."

After hearing Shui Han's words, the teahouse owner smiled and walked away. Instead, Su Baisheng frowned and said, "What kind of sect is it? How dare you rebel openly? It seems that many people are going to suffer!"

"Why did Brother Su say this?" Shui Han asked in confusion as he heard Su Baisheng's sigh.

"You are not people from sects, maybe you don't know." Su Baisheng explained: "The so-called sect does not only refer to people within the sect. It involves too broadly. To put it simply, if some family children join the sect, their family will naturally have a certain connection with that sect. If disciples who leave the sect establish families outside, the connection between these families and sects will be deeper. Think about it, if there are so many people in a sect, the network of relationships behind it will be so huge. If the sect rebellion, will those families end up well? Especially in countries like the Wat Empire where the imperial power is concentrated!"

"The empire won't wipe out all those families, right?" Chen Dong said with a somewhat ugly expression: "That would be too cruel!"

"Of course not." After hearing Chen Dong's concern, Su Baisheng hurriedly denied: "Although those families have some connections with rebel sects, these are not direct relationships, and the empire will naturally not take action directly. However, local governments will naturally pay more attention to those families and even suppress them. Many families have declined because of this. You just heard from the store that many families have come to Qudongzhou to manage their relationship in the past two days. Don't think that they are just for the trapped family children, but more to separate the relationship between their family and the Pujing Sect. If they are just to save their trapped family children, going to the army to manage their own affairs is much easier than coming to Qudongzhou."

"I didn't expect the relationship to be so complicated." Shui Han couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that the empire would rebel and suppress it, and did not consider these things at all. At the same time, Shui Han's view of Su Baisheng changed a little bit. He is worthy of being a member of the sect and is familiar with this aspect.

"The struggle in the human world is really troublesome." Longye said impatiently: "It's not like a struggle between monsters. If you don't feel happy, you will directly destroy you. How could such a thing like a co-sitting happen?"

"Then isn't this even more terrifying?" Shui Han said speechlessly: "If you feel unhappy, you have to silence your mouth. What's the reason?"

"Reason? Who is reasoning to you?" Long Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have to say the truth, then whoever has the biggest fist is the truth, and whoever has no strength will reason with you!"

"Brother Long's words are about the point. It's not just the monsters who speak with strength." Su Baisheng said with emotion: "The same is true in the human world, but the various relationships are complicated. For those continental-level strength, even if they commit some things, the empire usually turns a blind eye. How could it be wiped out if it says it's wiped out?"

"It seems that strength is still the most important thing. Before you have strength, it will be in vain." Shui Han thought of some things that happened to him, and not only sighed, but also increased his desire for strength in his heart.

"Okay, some things are not something we can talk about now. It's better for us to do our things with peace of mind." Longye interrupted Shui Han's thoughts and said, "The tea is ready, so we will go back first. We have not done this task for a long time. After we arrive in Qudongzhou, we will hand over the task first."

...

Qudongzhou Capital, at the gate of the city. It was already afternoon, and there were not many people coming and going at the gate of the city. At this time, a carriage slowly came from a distance, and four magicians riding horses were guarding each other around the carriage. At the front were the two brothers Yi An and Yi Tiankui of the Yi family. Today is their day to worship their ancestors, so the two brothers went to worship their ancestors with their elders, set out at noon, and have only arrived back now.

The people who were walking on the road were given aside after seeing the carriage. As residents of Qudongzhou Capital, they naturally recognized that this was a member of the Yi family, especially the little overlord Yian, which made them even more afraid. Passers-by knew that people like them who had no power and no power would have no good end to provoke Yian.

After Yi An looked at the passers-by in front of him, he immediately smiled and looked very proud. Yi Tiankui glanced at Yi An and frowned, but he didn't say anything. Because of the passers-by's giving way, the speed of the carriage suddenly became a little faster.

At this moment, a man appeared in front of him, walking slowly in the middle of the road. This man was a middle-aged man who looked very sloppy, with a stubborn face and a dusty dress on his body. What was inconsistent with these was an ancient giant sword behind him. He walked on his own, as if he had not noticed the carriage coming from behind.

After seeing this, the passerby who flashed to the side said to the sloppy man in the middle of the road: "Hey, go away, you are from the Yi family behind you, so don't cause trouble for yourself in the end."

The sloppy man heard the kind reminder from passers-by, looked at the passers-by in a little confused manner, then turned around and looked behind. At this time, the carriage of the Yi family was very close, and it was too late to avoid it. The carriage of the Yi family had to stop, otherwise the two would inevitably collide.

Yi An looked at the sloppy man in front of him with a ugly expression, then jumped up from the horse and waved the whip in his hand to suck the sloppy man. Yi Tiankui wanted to stop him, but after taking a look at the sloppy man, he did not stop him.

When passers-by on both sides of the road saw this situation, they felt a pity for the sloppy man. However, they did not stand up because they could not afford to offend the Yi family, especially for the residents of Qudongzhou Capital. This place is close to the city gate, and there are already officers and soldiers guarding it. After seeing it, the officers and soldiers at the city gate also had no intention of stopping it. These officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were just middle and low-level officers and soldiers. If they offend the Yi family, they will be laid off tomorrow and even have life disasters.

The sloppy man glanced at Yi An indifferently, and saw that Yi An was about to slap the sloppy man's face. As a result, Yi An was slapped aside by a "slap". Yi An climbed up from the ground with difficulty, but at this moment, his left face had swollen and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth. Yi An's eyes at the sloppy man were no longer arrogant and domineering, but full of fear, and a little resentment.

Yi Tiankui was furious when he saw his younger brother being slapped in the face in public, but he did not act rashly. Although he could slap Yi An aside, he would never be as relaxed as the person in front of him. The strength of the person in front of him is definitely no worse than his.

"What does this mean by you? Don't you know that we are from the Yi family?" Yi Tiankui asked coldly. It was more of a threat than a question.

"Yi Family? What is the Yi Family?" The sloppy man asked in confusion: "Is there such a big family in the Water Empire?"

After hearing this, Yi Tiankui's face turned red with anger. This time, he heard such words for the first time. In Qudongzhou, no one knew that the Yi family, even the King of Beining, would not have slapped the Yi family like this. To be precise, it was a slap in the face, naked.

Because at the gate of the city, many people watched the incident immediately. Passers-by thought that this person must be crazy, otherwise who would dare to provoke the Yi family so much, at least in their perception, would not have dared to do this. But today it did appear. It would have been easy to solve the problem if Yi An had just slapped him, but this provocative sentence would not be so easy to solve.
