My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 90 Panic
Huang Qian was somewhat surprised. In the county town, the official power was very strong, and few Jianghu people dared to cause a big disturbance in the city. At most, some audacious thugs would fight and kill each other, but such a small matter could not attract so many officials to patrol the city at night to arrest people.

Huang Xunjiu also heard the butler's words, and he waved his hand, "Go and investigate again."

The thugs who could cause such a commotion must have committed some serious crimes.

The butler nodded hurriedly and continued to investigate.

At this moment, some of the guests inside the mansion also heard the commotion outside. They whispered among themselves and sent their servants out to investigate.

After a while, the butler rushed in with a very strange expression.

Huang Xunjiu frowned, somewhat displeased. There were still guests in the hall, and he was rushing around like this, showing no composure whatsoever. However, he knew the steward quite well and knew that his urgency must mean something important had happened, so he suppressed his anger and did not reprimand him.

"Master, Master..." The steward, catching his breath, came to Huang Xunjiu's side, bowed and whispered, "I've heard that those thugs assassinated Huang Tian, ​​the trial commander of Baoqingfang in Zhenwuwei! That is, the Fourth Young Master!"

Snapped! !

The glass in his hand shattered instantly, shards flying everywhere. The drunkenness on Huang Qian's face vanished completely. His gaze sharpened as he looked at the butler. "You're not mistaken?"

The butler turned his head and said, "Young Master, it is indeed true. I was also very surprised when I first heard about this, fearing that the information was wrong, so I asked different officials repeatedly, and they all gave the same answer."

Huang Qian took a deep breath, looked at his father with an unreadable expression in his eyes, while Huang Xunjiu was also stunned by the news, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

No, overall he was happy. Suppressing his excitement, he said in a deep voice, "Go investigate again! Find out more!"

What are we trying to discover?
Of course, the goal was to find out if that rebellious son was dead or not.

"Yes." The butler went again.

After he left, Huang Xunjiu and Huang Qian exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with excitement and trepidation.

Just a few days ago, they even fantasized about Huang Tian being assassinated. If he died, all the current difficulties facing the Huang family would disappear!
The powerful clans in the city will no longer be able to suppress the Huang family. Those families that were close to them before will also become friendly again. In addition, Huang Qian will be able to break through to the sixth rank in about six months to a year. The Huang family will become even more prosperous!

But that was just a fantasy, not reality. Unexpectedly, tonight the fantasy came true!

The two took a deep breath and waited silently for the butler's report.

Meanwhile, the guests attending the celebratory banquet also learned of Huang Tian's assassination. They all looked puzzled, stopped eating and drinking, and gathered together to discuss the matter.

When Huang Rui and Huang Jian, who were still quite drunk, heard this news, they were jolted awake. Their drunkenness dissipated considerably, and their eyes brightened. They looked at each other and couldn't stop smiling, their lips curving upwards.

If there hadn't been other guests around, they would have burst out laughing long ago.

The two quickly left their seats and hurried to Huang Xunjiu's side, saying, "Father, I heard..."

Before they could finish a complete sentence, Huang Xunjiu raised his hand to interrupt, "I know what you're going to say. Please sit down, be patient, and wait for more detailed information."

The two nodded, suppressed their excitement, and sat down to one side, whispering to each other.

"Second brother, I knew that with that man's unruly nature, he would surely be assassinated. Look, here he is, ha!"

"Thank God, he was killed tonight!"

"If he's killed, our family will be much better off. We won't have to suffer the cold shoulder at Wei Xue anymore. Hmph, I'll get my revenge on them one by one later!"

"..."

The two prayed silently.

Tap tap—the sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and everyone in the hall looked up at the butler with a stern face who was trotting in.

Seeing the butler's strange expression, Huang Xunjiu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it might not be good news.

As expected, the butler leaned closer and reported succinctly: "He is not injured."

This "he" undoubtedly refers to Huang Tian.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xunjiu, disregarding his composure, sighed deeply. Huang Qian did the same, shaking his head repeatedly. 'What a pity, such a pity! How could those assassins who tried to kill him be so useless? They couldn't even kill a seventh-rank Huang Tian. After this incident, he will surely be more cautious, and the opportunities for future assassinations will be even fewer…'

Huang Jian, sitting in the back, didn't hear clearly. He eagerly craned his neck and couldn't help but nudge Huang Rui, "Second brother, did you hear what Steward Fang said? Is that person dead?"

Huang Rui vaguely heard something and his expression turned serious. "He doesn't seem to be dead, no, he's not even injured."

Huang Jian froze, then looked up at his father and elder brother's faces, which were both very unpleasant.

"He really wasn't injured?!"

He gritted his teeth, stepped forward to Huang Qian's side, and said, "Brother..."

Huang Qian knew what he wanted to ask and shook his head, "That person is fine."

"Ugh!"

Huang Jian sighed heavily, full of regret, and slumped back into his chair. "How could that person be so lucky? He survived an assassination attempt and didn't even get hurt. Even losing a hand or a foot would have been better!"

For martial artists of the lower three ranks, if their hands and feet are crippled, even if they are reattached, it will still affect their future cultivation to some extent.

Huang Rui remained silent.

"Go and investigate again!" Huang Xunjiu said to the steward. "See if those thugs have been caught. If there is any other news related to Lao Si, report it to me as well."

The butler was ordered to leave again.

By this time, the guests in the hall also knew that Huang Tian was not injured, and many people sighed inwardly and whispered among themselves.

About fifteen minutes later, the butler ran back again, but this time his face was full of panic.

Huang Xunjiu's fingers trembled violently, knowing that there was bad news, and very bad news at that!
Sure enough, the butler ran to his side, sweating profusely, and said in a trembling voice, "I heard... I heard..."

"Explain yourself!" Huang Xunjiu said, slightly angry.

"I heard that the Fourth Young Master has broken through to the sixth rank!" The steward's voice trembled. "Moreover, some people say that the Fourth Young Master single-handedly defeated two fifth-rank martial artists and several sixth-rank martial artists! He also captured all the assassins who tried to kill him. Now, the officials outside the manor are arresting the assassins' accomplices who are hiding in the city!"

boom! !

Upon hearing this news, Huang Xunjiu could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up, his blood boiling, and his true energy burst forth uncontrollably, causing the table in front of him to overturn, wine and dishes to fly up, and the guests to panic.

"W-what did you say?!"

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Huang Qian was stunned, as if struck by lightning. He sat blankly in his chair, the butler's words echoing in his ears: "Fourth Young Master has broken through to the sixth rank!!"
