Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen

The New Year's Eve is coming in a blink of an eye. According to the Hong family's practice, on the afternoon of this day, juniors from the clan would go to the ancestral grave to worship their ancestors, inviting their ancestors to go home for the New Year. The same is true for other families in Yuanguang City.

Carrying a large number of sacrificial supplies, Hong Meng followed the clan leader Hong Zheng and others to Dayou Mountain to worship his ancestors. Hong Meng was as unaware of the ancestors of the Hong family, and even more so, his previous deeds. All of this was hidden in the dark.

When he visited the Xiao family last time, Hong Meng vaguely felt that the words of Xiao Wanshan, the leader of the Xiao family, had other profound meanings. It might be rumors about the ancestors of the Hong family, or even speculations about the forces behind the Hong family. When contacting Uncle Tong's wife Ma, that is, Hong Meng's Aunt Ma, Hong Meng was even more confused. All this is very likely related to Aunt Ma's life experience.

However, they didn't know why Hong Zheng wanted to hide the deeds of his ancestors. Could it be that his grandfather's generation disappeared inexplicably? It's a pity that his grandfather disappeared too outrageously. They took away the masters of the clan and even their friends.

The confusing reality made Hong Meng feel overwhelmed. He thought that the Hong family might not be behind the surface, but perhaps it was a super big family. The disappearance of grandfather brought huge losses and disasters to the Hong family. The current urgent situation is even more witnessed.

"What's even more regrettable is that the "Yi Numbers" and "Astrology" left by my grandfather were all burned by my mother, leaving only the yellowed "Galaxy Map", which is really heartbreaking!"

Thinking of his grandfather, Hong Meng couldn't help but think of the two mysterious books left by his grandfather. If he hadn't been greedy at that time, he had read it for a while and dropped the books on the ground, his mother wouldn't have been burning books on the whim. Although her mother's thoughts were simple and even ridiculous, they were a kind mother's worry after all, and Hong Meng could not blame her.

Fortunately, Feng agreed to Hong Meng and left the last "Galaxy Map" and handed it over to Hong Meng when Hong Meng is strong. Hong Meng doesn't know what the final "Galaxy Map" is, but looking at the moment the galaxy on the map, it must be an ordinary item.

As the Hong family's carriages and horses advanced, before they knew it, the Hong family's large group had already stopped at the city gate and were queuing out of the city.

Looking up, this was a passage specially opened for a team with chariots and horses, with about twenty or thirty people guarding there. They looked serious and checked through pedestrians again and again. They did not look fierce until they met the Hong family's chariots and horses.

"You can't pass! Retreat quickly!"

The leader looked like an officer in his thirties, with a beard hanging on his mouth, pointed at Hong Zheng with one hand, and shouted loudly, as if the Hong family had done something shameful.

"We go out of the city to worship our ancestors, and we hope to be harmonious." As he said that, Hong Zheng secretly took out a handful of gold coins and blocked the figures of the two people while the other carriages passed. Hong Zheng immediately stuffed the golden gold coins into the hands of the officer.

The officer with a mustache weighed the weight of the gold coins in one hand, and while he was wearing a treacherous smile on his lips, he said with an insincere apology: "Sorry, your Hong family is an exception. As mentioned above, the Hong family is not allowed to leave the city. So, you should go back obediently and don't waste time here!"

After saying that, the officer Hu, who was a beard, stuffed the gold coins in his hand into his arms in front of Hong Zheng, and then stared at the Hong family with a sharp look.

Hearing this, Hong Zheng was furious. It was so disgusting to accept gold coins. But who did the Hong family offend? How could the city lord who had not seen each other for a hundred years betray the little Hong family? He smiled embarrassedly, and the muscles in his arms showed a stiff expression, with a begging tone: "Please, can you tell us why the Hong family cannot go out of the city to worship their ancestors? This has been a custom for many years. If we abandon them rashly, wouldn't our Hong family have a reputation of destroying ancestors on their backs?"...

The officer who was bearded in the eight-character beard immediately put his right hand on his chest, and then said coldly: "It's not that I don't help you, but the orders above, how can I disobey? Go quickly! Don't be silly here, it's to hinder my work."

A group of people from the Hong family were driven directly to the distance from the city gate to write. Hong Zheng had already looked bad, not to mention how frustrated he was. Well, why was he suddenly restricted from going out? He didn't understand. Perhaps after the Qingluo family cooperated with the city lord, the relationship became very delicate, so the city lord would have heard of the instigation of the Qingluo family and gave the Hong family order to prohibit the city from leaving the city.

"My Hong family is so small, but they are plotted against everywhere. What kind of natural law is this? Is God blind?"

Looking at the city gate where people were coming and going, Hong Zheng suddenly sighed, all the unwillingness in his heart was thrown into the sky. Indeed, all the things were not going well, and it was not God who decided?

"The clan leader is careful! You must not be disrespectful to the sky. Besides, today is New Year's Eve, so you must not offend the power of heaven!"

On the side, Hongdong looked serious and even more panic, and immediately dissuaded Hong Zheng. According to legend, on New Year's Eve, a god descended to earth to enjoy the delicious food in the world or listen to people's wishes. This matter is a long time and cannot be verified. However, maintaining a little respect will not be lost.

"Uncle Tong said so much. The current problem should be solved first. In my opinion, it is better to give up the carriage and horse, and one person takes some sacrificial supplies and passes through another channel in batches. Is it possible to work? Let's try it first?"

Next to Hongdong's burly figure, Hong Meng walked to Hong Zheng and suggested in a deep voice. He could see that the city lord was clearly the backbone of the Qingluo family. He could reconcile the relationship between the two families and provoke a showdown between the two families. And the city lord might listen to some of their suggestions.

Since the passage of chariots and horses is not allowed, the passage of people should be unobstructed. When passing through scatteredly, they may not recognize many people from the Hong family. Even if Hong Zheng is blocked, there are other people who can worship their ancestors, which does not hinder the itinerary of the ancestors.

"Okay. The coachman drove the carriage back. We carried our things and left the city one by one. If we don't believe he can still recognize it!"

Hong Zheng was angry and walked towards the city gate with a pack of paper money. His eyes contained anger. If he could not worship his ancestors today, the Hong family would be a big joke.

Seeing this, the others also followed Hong Zheng with some sacrificial paper and other items, lined up one by one, waiting to leave the city.

Looking at the long queue, he felt bored behind him and looked around. He accidentally found that there was a tall man with a strong body and a tough face standing directly above the gate tower of the pedestrian passage. Judging from his clothes and the attitude of the guards next to him, he should be an officer with a higher position.

Then, the tall officer seemed to notice the actions of the Hong family. After hesitating for a moment, he disappeared and then suddenly appeared next to the pedestrian passage.

"General Wan!"

When the tall officer came, the guards next to him immediately saluted him. Looking at him, he seemed to have become a figure above ten thousand people. However, the tall officer, known as General Wan, just nodded in response.

"What happened to the carriage and horses just now? Could it be that the Hong family members were not successful?"

General Wan looked at Hong Zheng in the crowd, but suddenly spoke and asked the officer bearded beard beside him. A little light appeared in his eyes, as if the Hong family was just prey under their claws and could not escape.

"Go back to the general, the pair of chariots and horses were the Hong family. However, they later scattered out of the city, and this - you did not give the order -"

The officer of the Beard responded, especially mentioning the omissions in the orders of superiors.

"Call the head of the Hong family."...,

A moment later, the officer of the bearded figure walked into the team, pushed Hong Zheng out with one hand, and threw it in front of General Wan. As if he had made great contributions, he quietly waited for General Wan to speak.

General Wan waved his hand and retreated his beard, instead sneering: "Captain Hong Family, you really know how to pick a crack. You obviously don't let you go out of the city, but why do you still risk your life to leave the city? Aren't you afraid of the pain of the head falling to the ground?"

Hong Zheng was so angry that his good plan was disrupted. The person in front of him was really hateful. However, he still stabilized his emotions and avoided offending the seemingly powerful opponent in front of him, and squeezed out a hint of embarrassing smile: "Haha, today everyone in the city can go out of the city to worship his ancestors, but my Hong family does not allow it. I wonder who the sacred person of my Hong family has offended, and will let the city lord order us to ban us from leaving the city?"

Seeing that Hong Zheng was caught by the bearded officer, Hong Meng secretly thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed Hong Zheng to see what the situation was. Seeing General Wan’s appearance, he must be not an ordinary person. Hong Meng immediately walked up to Hong Zheng and waited for General Wan to ask questions, and said, "If I guess well, are you the most powerful general under the lord of Wancheng? "

"Oh? Hehe, kid is the fastest. Before I asked you, you said it yourself. You are right, but the Hong family cannot leave the city today. This is not my order. As long as you understand, you cannot leave the city." General Wan smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He swept Swa Hong Zheng and Hong Meng, and there seemed to be something in his words.

However, Hong Meng looked at General Wan carefully and suddenly found a monster bag hanging in his waist. Then he felt excited. Isn’t that the monster bag he made himself? How could it fly into General Wan Wanqiang’s waist?

After pondering for a while, Hong Meng understood that the man in black who attacked him that night was clearly the Qingluo family. They snatched the bag of monsters and then presented it to the city lord. The city lord would naturally give the bag of monsters to his confidant Wan Qiang. Then, all this is natural. It seems that the relationship between the city lord and the Qingluo family has been much more stable.

"If I guessed correctly, the Qingluo family should still have such a monster bag hidden. I wonder if the general is interested?"

The time to provoke is now. The Qingluo family is naturally not fools, and they will give out all the monster bags. Then, Hong Meng boldly put forward this suggestion.

"You guy is sharp-eyed, I'm really a monster bag. However, it doesn't matter whether you understand or not. It's their business, and I can't help but say." Wan Qiang looked at Hong Meng who suddenly appeared and interrupted his conversation with Hong Zheng.
