After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

In the next few days, Zhang Liang always tried his best to avoid Qin Youlan and other sisters-in-law, for fear that they would catch him and urge him to get married again.

He went out early and came back late every day, and sometimes even stayed in the study for a whole day to avoid their sight.

After Qin Youlan and others discovered Zhang Liang's firm attitude, they no longer forced him to discuss marriage, but instead began to look for a girl suitable for him.

They asked around and asked for introductions, hoping to find a woman who would suit Zhang Liang's taste and continue the bloodline of the Wuguo Mansion.

At the same time, a major event happened outside the city.

A man in black and a group of his men arrived outside Ninggu City, exhausted.

They looked at the dilapidated city in front of them with complicated expressions on their faces.

The man frowned, obviously not satisfied with the scene before him.

He turned his head and looked at one of his men beside him, his eyes full of questions.

Seeing this, the subordinate nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Boss. According to our spies, the guy who looks like Zhang Liang is indeed here."

The man nodded after hearing this, with a determined glint in his eyes.

"In that case, let's get started now!"

His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

At his command, his men immediately took action and prepared to enter the city to look for Zhang Liang's whereabouts.

After hearing the man's order, the men nodded and followed him into the city gate.

They randomly found a seemingly ordinary inn in the city, intending to stay there temporarily and further gather intelligence.

At the same time, Zhang Liang, who was working in the study, suddenly heard footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"come in!"

Zhang Liang responded, and after getting permission, Wang Wu outside the door immediately pushed it open and walked in.

Seeing Wang Wu come in, Zhang Liang slowly put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

There was a hint of concern and caution in his tone.

Wang Wu hurriedly said, "My Lord, our Akatsuki organization just discovered that a group of people from the underworld have come to Ninggu City."

Because of Zhang Liang's support, Akatsuki was formed very quickly. Now the entire Ninggu City is full of Akatsuki members. No matter what happens, nothing can escape their eyes.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned slightly and secretly wondered what the purpose of this group of people from the underworld was.

He knew very well that since ancient times, "Confucianism has disrupted the law, and martial arts has violated the ban." Now so many people from the martial arts world have suddenly poured into Ninggu City, and their purpose is not yet clear, which undoubtedly brought potential instability to the city.

With these people around, Ning Gucheng's future may become very chaotic.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang immediately asked: "Can we find out what the purpose of these guys coming to Ninggu City is?"

There was a hint of worry and anxiety in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu immediately nodded and replied, "Please rest assured, my lord. I have already sent all our men out. We must find out the true purpose of these people coming here."

Hearing Wang Wu's answer, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction.

After reporting the matter, Wang Wu quickly turned around and left, his steps hurried but firm.

Looking at Wang Wu's leaving back, Zhang Liang fell into deep thought.

He knew that in the days to come, Ning Gucheng might face an unknown storm.

Meanwhile, inside the inn's room, the man who had just moved in was anxiously giving orders to his men: "Go investigate right now to see if there are any new faces in this city!"

There was an unmistakable determination and urgency in his voice.

Upon hearing the man's order, the men immediately nodded in agreement.

They knew very well that this matter was extremely important to the man and had even become his lifelong obsession.

Therefore, they did not dare to slack off at all and stood up and prepared to take action.

Immediately afterwards, these men quickly left the room and began to gather information everywhere in Ninggu City.

Just as one of his men was gathering information in an alley in Ning Gucheng, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness and quickly pulled him into the depths of the alley.

Then, a piece of cloth was covered on his face, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark room, surrounded by a group of people, staring at him seriously.

The subordinate's eyes widened and he asked in horror, "Who are you? How dare you attack me? Do you know who I belong to?"

However, those people ignored his question. One of them walked up to him and asked coldly, "What are you doing in Ninggu City?"

Hearing this question, the subordinate turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to say anything.

Seeing his attitude, those people frowned, and one of them said, "Okay! If you don't want to talk, we have plenty of ways to make you talk."

After saying this, those people began to torture the subordinate.

Before long, the man was beaten black and blue.

Seeing that those people were still trying to attack him, he quickly shouted, "Everyone, stop fighting! I'm going to tell you everything!"

After hearing what he said, those people looked at each other and stopped attacking.

Then, a man walked up to him and said coldly: "Tell me quickly, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

Afraid of being beaten again if he spoke too slowly, the subordinate immediately said, "Our boss is here to look for a man named Zhang Liang."

As soon as these words were spoken, those people looked at each other, and a gleam flashed in their eyes.

Then the man continued to ask: "What do you want to do with Zhang Liang?"

Hearing this, the subordinate swallowed and said, "Our boss is looking for him!"

"Our boss had a deep hatred with the Wuguo Mansion in his early years. Now that he has the opportunity, he wants revenge!"

"Plus, the imperial court is now looking for Zhang Liang. If we can take him down, we'll get a huge reward."

After hearing his words, those people narrowed their eyes, obviously very interested in this information.

After the subordinate finished explaining everything in a trembling voice, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

At this moment, one of them silently made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this action, the subordinate's face turned pale instantly. He shouted in horror: "You can't do this! I've already told you everything! You can't do this!"

However, before he could even utter a word of begging for mercy, he was ruthlessly dealt with by those people.

Blood splattered on the wall, forming shocking traces.

After dealing with this subordinate, those people quickly cleaned up the scene and walked out of the room.

They came out of the room and said to Wang Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, "Boss, we have found out everything. These guys came to Ninggu City to seek revenge on their lord and collect the reward from the court."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu's expression immediately became serious.

He knew the importance of this news and had to inform Zhang Liang immediately.

So, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Very good, you continue to monitor these people's every move, and I will immediately inform the lord of this news."

After hearing Wang Wu's order, those people nodded in agreement, then quickly dispersed and continued to carry out their tasks.

Wang Wu did not dare to stay for a moment at this time. He turned around and walked quickly towards Zhang Liang's mansion.

Along the way, Wang Wu felt extremely heavy-hearted.

He knew that the arrival of these people from the underworld undoubtedly posed a huge threat to Ning Gucheng.

He must tell Zhang Liang the news as soon as possible so that he can prepare early to deal with the coming storm.
