Chapter 538 Wilderness Interception
tribe? !
This word is very common, but in the realm of Hanzhou, what it refers to is extremely sensitive.

Perhaps within the territory of Daqi, there are some relatively wild and primitive areas where creatures still gather in the form of tribes.

But in Hanzhou, there is absolutely no such situation.

Only in the grassland next door is the tribal system prevalent. On the boundless wilderness, barbarian tribes are passed down in the form of blood tribes.

Now Zhang Xinkong changed his identity and met with someone secretly, and the other person actually said words like our tribe...

Zhou Qing had probably guessed the identity of the young man holding the fan, and also understood what he meant by the problem in the Xuanduguan mission about the Zhang family.

This family is most likely colluding with the barbarians.

The question now is how deep the collusion between the Zhang family and the barbarians is.

Because it is located on the border, the relationship between humans and barbarians has always been a big problem in Hanzhou.

Although there have been many historical conflicts between the human and barbarian tribes, and there is no real peace even now, there is still no lack of communication and exchange between the two tribes.

The matter between the Zhang family and this barbarian tribe is probably very serious...

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Even if the Zhang family directly surrendered to the barbarians and betrayed the human race, there would be nothing to say and the family would be exterminated directly.

The young man holding the fan said nonchalantly: "Xuandu Guan doesn't know that everything in Hanyuan County has been normal for so many years, and there has never been any major problems. How can Xuanduguan pay attention to such a small place."

This kind of mutual market is very prosperous, and all kinds of treasures that are only bred on the opposite side will appear. The other's poison is my honey. This is probably the truth.

If it was just an ordinary transactional relationship, there would definitely be punishment.

If the Zhang family really surrendered to the barbarians, he would not deal with it, and Xuandu Guan would not say anything. But when he returns to Xuandu Guan, after the true inheritance assessment is over, how can the Zhang family really be safe and sound? There will never be a good end. .

The laws of Daqi, the tacit understanding between the imperial court and the local forces in Hanzhou, and those rules that cannot be stated openly can be ignored as long as he wants to.

Now the affairs of the Zhang family have been discovered by Xuandu Guan and handed over to Zhou Qing to handle with full authority.

If you did it and were discovered, you would naturally be punished, but given the special circumstances of this world, it would not be death.

But if the Zhang family is transferring benefits to the barbarian tribes and seriously harming the interests of Daqi, then they must be severely punished, and cruel methods can be used.

But as long as we don't go too far, you can't be reckless when punishing us.

Or maybe the Zhang family has completely surrendered to the barbarians, and Zhou Qing can turn a blind eye.

Even at the few junctions between Daqi and the barbarians, Daqi officials and the barbarian royal courts have reached a consensus and jointly established mutual markets to exchange what they have.

After all, the Qi Bai family is one of the top families in the world. The local power of each state and county cannot be completely ignored by the Qi Bai family.

The last words were full of sarcasm.

When Zhou Qing heard this, his heart moved. Although the conversation between the two did not reveal what their deal was, it also gave Zhou Qing a lot of information.

The fan-wielding young man laughed and said, "Why is it that now that the head of the Zhang family has become stronger and has surpassed the Han family, he is saying that the Han family will affect our transactions?"

Just like those officials in the previous lives of the Zhou and Qing dynasties had special privileges, the great power of the practitioners in this world belongs to themselves. The connections of each cultivating force are intricate, so they are naturally special.

Xuanduguan will not interfere with his choice during the assessment, but after the assessment is over, how can Xuanduguan keep such a traitorous family.

Even if the Zhang family only had a normal trading relationship with a barbarian tribe, Zhou Qing could directly choose to deal with the Zhang family with the heaviest punishment.

It was clearly stated in the true biography assessment that after investigating the Zhang family's problems, Zhou Qing would do whatever he wanted to do.

We will not come blatantly and admit defeat when discovered.

So generally speaking, after discovering such a situation, how to deal with the Zhang family must first determine the extent of their collusion with the barbarians.

All the choices he made, during the true inheritance assessment, Xuandu Guan supported him, allowing him to ignore all the rules in Hanzhou.

There are too many people and forces involved in this kind of thing, so everyone can only take a step back.

Don’t the Daqi officials want to punish him severely?
Of course I do, but on some matters, the court has to compromise and consider opinions from all sides.

"The masters of your tribe are here to take risks. Aren't the things I do for you not risky?"

"Also, how much profit should there be, and how much risk should you bear? Master Zhang doesn't think that you can complete the True Blood Refining now because of your own talent, right?"

However, this kind of mutual market is sometimes affected by the situation of various ethnic groups. If a large-scale war breaks out, it will be closed immediately.

In such a world of cultivation, where there are countless masters and all kinds of magical Taoism and martial arts emerge in endlessly, it is impossible to completely eliminate restrictions on this kind of thing.

Although everyone knew privately that the private forces of the human and barbarian tribes were trading with each other, it was openly prohibited by both the Daqi government and the barbarian royal court.

But if you think about it for a moment, you will know that if Zhou Qing really chooses to act recklessly, the true inheritance test will definitely fail.

In the blurry light and shadow, Zhang Xinkong didn't speak for a long time. He seemed very angry. When he spoke again, his tone was very bad.

In areas where the two tribes directly border each other and are not blocked by natural terrain such as the Ashbone Mountains, some individuals and forces have transactions with the barbarians, bringing the treasures of the grasslands to Hanzhou to sell them, and then doing the same in reverse. It is almost a kind of Something that is acquiesced in private.

After the war is over, when the storm passes, the mutual market will naturally start again.

This would be a great success, and naturally there would be people who would do it one after another.

What's more, like those exchange markets near Shiwan Snow Mountain, not only the human and barbarian tribes participate, but the Snow tribe will also join in to purchase what they need.

But this is normal.

"Our tribe will not interfere in the affairs of the Han family. In the past, the Han family was almost the same as your Zhang family, but you were also able to complete transactions on schedule and in volume."

Zhang Xinkong stared at the young man holding the fan, "If Xuanduguan finds out, I won't survive today."

He knew what Zhang Xinkong was thinking at a glance.

The strength has become stronger, but the ambition has also expanded. It is not enough to cooperate with them. I also want to get more in Hanyuan County, and I want to eat both sides.

"For those who don't know, I thought Han Tielin was the one who refined the true blood. Head Zhang, do your own thing well and our tribe will give you what you want."

"The second and third refinements of true blood are not impossible."

"There is nothing important later, so don't contact me at will. I have other things to do in Hanzhou."

After saying that, the young man holding the fan stood up and took one last look at Zhang Xinkong.

"The goods are delivered once a month. The goods from last month should be given to the same place. Don't ask me to remind you more about this kind of thing."

Then he left directly without waiting for Zhang Xinkong to respond.

In the light and shadow, Zhang Xinkong clenched his fists and his veins were exposed, but he did not have an attack after all.

Zhang Xinkong suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, frowning slightly.

When Zhou Qing saw this, his heart trembled, and he quickly dispersed the light and shadow in front of him, no longer observing the situation there through the light.

"Faced with such a master, there is still a risk in just using fixed interest rates, and the more times you observe the opponent, the higher the risk."

The fixed interest light uses light to observe the person whose breath is locked, and it is not unlimited.

If the other party is strong enough, if you look at it for a long time, you may be perceived as peeping. If it happens too often, you will definitely become suspicious.

No method can be said to be absolutely flawless, it just depends on who you are targeting.

At the top of the restaurant, Zhang Xinkong's frown relaxed. He just felt like something was wrong.

But this feeling quickly disappeared, leaving people with no clue.

"Rude barbarian..."

Zhang Xinkong cursed in his heart, then stood up and left.

No one could have imagined that a collusion incident had just occurred here, and one of the parties was the head of the Zhang family.

If Zhou Qing didn't have Ding Xiguang, he wouldn't have believed that the dignified head of the Zhang family would come to such a place so low-key and discreetly.

It can be said that if this barbarian went to Zhang's house to meet with Zhang Xinkong every time, he would have been noticed by people long ago.

But Zhang Xinkong took the initiative to leave the Zhang family, which made the matter extremely hidden.

I'm afraid that when he left the Zhang family, he also took a special place like a secret passage.

Only when you do something unexpected can you go unnoticed.

Zhou Qing recalled the conversation between Zhang Xingong and Zhang Xingkong, thinking about what to do next.

"According to that person's request, the Zhang family should deliver last month's goods to the barbarians within a few days."

"I don't know whether Zhang Xinkong went to the transaction himself or let other people in the Zhang family do this. If I let others do it, then if I can intercept this batch of goods before the transaction, I can directly know what the Zhang family is doing. What are you selling to the barbarians?"

As for observing Zhang Xinkong through the fixed-interest light... the key is that he can't stare at Zhang Xinkong from morning to night, and he can't be sure when Zhang Xinkong will meet the Zhang family and talk about these things. What if he doesn't?

Therefore, we must use the fixed interest rate, but we must also take other paths together.

If Zhang Xinkong did this personally, it would naturally be impossible to intercept the goods in advance.

In that case, when Han Tielin recovers, Zhou Qing plans to attack directly.

Although we still don't know what the so-called "goods" are, we can tell from Zhang Xingong's words that his collusion with the barbarians is very deep, and it is highly likely that it will not be tolerated by Xuandu.

It would be okay to attack him directly and search for other evidence afterwards.

However, if possible, Zhou Qing still wants to find out everything first and then act based on the evidence.

He is a reasonable person.

Even if it means death, the other party must die clearly.

And will the Zhang family directly hand over the goods to the young man holding the fan?

This is most likely not the case.

Because judging from the last words of the young man holding the fan, his status should be relatively high. There are still many things to do in Hanzhou later, so the Zhang family should not disturb him at will.

Such a person will probably not return to the grassland for a while, let alone pick up and transport goods.

Delivery is done once a month, twelve times a year. Such a person who dares to mock Zhang Xinkong in person would never do such "cool work".

"In addition to Zhang Xinkong, the Zhang family also has many masters of the Saint Manifestation and Marrow Cleansing Realm. If this matter is to be done by others, then enough strength is needed to ensure it."

"Zhang Xingong is not the only one who knows about colluding with the barbarians, but there are definitely not many people who know about it. Zhang Xinli and Zhang Bo are very suspicious."

Zhang Xinli, Zhang Xinkong's younger brother, Xian Sheng Perfection, once attacked the Yin Shen realm. Although he failed, he survived. With the help of the Zhang family, his vitality was not damaged, but his strength was stronger than the normal Xian Sheng Perfection.

Zhang Bo is an expert in marrow cleansing and is known as the most promising member of the Zhang family to be promoted to the true blood realm. He once practiced in Xuandu Temple. This is the information Zhou Qing got from the Han family. These two people can be said to be the upper echelons of the Zhang family just below the head of the family.

Thinking of these two people, Zhou Qing went to find Han Shanshan and asked her to learn more about these two senior Zhang family officials, such as their daily activities.

Han Shanshan thought for a while and said:
"My uncle knows more about this. Why don't you ask him to tell you, Senior Brother Zhou?"

The division of labor in the big family is clear, and various departments complement each other. After all, Han Shanshan is still a young person, and it is impossible to know everything in detail.

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement, and soon the great grandfather came here.

This old man is not among the old people Zhou Qing met when he was "refining alchemy", and is a bit strange.

"The old man Han Deyan has met Mr. Zhou and thanked Mr. Zhou for his help to the Han family."

Han Deyan wanted to bow to Zhou Qing, but Zhou Qing held him up in time.

This old man is a marrow cleansing warrior, but his energy and blood have declined very much. Zhou Qing estimates that he is over ninety years old.

It would be inappropriate to accept a courtesy from him.

Han Shanshan told Han Deyan Zhou Qing's question. He thought for a moment and replied:
"Zhang Bo is rarely responsible for the affairs of the Zhang family because he is expected to be promoted to True Blood. He spends most of his time cultivating in the Zhang family in hopes of making a breakthrough. He rarely shows up and there is very little information about him."

"Although Zhang Xinli failed to be promoted to Yin Shen and is stronger than the ordinary Xian Sheng Perfection, there is no possibility of further progress. Therefore, many important affairs of the Zhang family are taken care of by Zhang Xinli."

"Zhang Xinli is responsible for matters such as the Zhang family's important business in other counties, the connection with some powerful forces, and the Zhang family's ancestral land in Hengchuan County. I have a lot of Zhang Xinli's intelligence records there, and I can bring them all over to Mr. Zhou for review."

Zhou Qing suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, what's going on there in the ancestral land of the Zhang family in Hengchuan County?"

"It's like this. After the Zhang family grew, although they focused on Hanyuan County, Hengchuan County is still valued by the Zhang family, and the Zhang family's ancestral land is still there."

Han Deyan explained: "At the same time, because a large number of items produced from the Ashbone Mountains were brought into Hengchuan County by practitioners, many forces have their bases there, and there are also exploratory teams that specifically enter the Ashbone Mountains."

"So Zhang Xinli will take the Zhang family back to Hengchuan County every month to deliver some resources to the Zhang family's ancestral land, and then bring the resources collected by the Zhang family in Hengchuan County back to Hanyuan City, or for internal digestion by the Zhang family , or continue to be sent to various parties for sale.”

"Because the resources that need to be transported are extremely valuable every time, Zhang Xinli is usually responsible for it himself. On rare occasions, if he doesn't have time, he will hand it over to other Zhang family experts."

The Ashbone Mountains are a natural treasure land, where beast bodies, medicinal materials, spiritual plants, and other things can be found.

Especially for wild beasts, every part of their body is a treasure that can be used by practitioners.

Any force has a great demand for the flesh of wild beasts. For example, Xuanduguan's Qi and Blood Pill requires the flesh and blood of wild beasts.

The entire Hanyuan County, and only the Ashbone Mountains, can provide these things in large quantities. A force like the Zhang family consumes an extremely large amount of beast flesh and blood every month, and you don't even know how many space bags you need to hold.

The area inside many space bags is not large, and even hundreds of cubic meters are very rare.

The corpses of wild beasts are generally huge, and some wild beasts can grow to tens of meters.

For these reasons, it is not surprising that Zhang Xinli led the Zhang family to transport resources to Hengchuan.

Other forces in Hanyuan City, including the Han family, will do similar things every once in a while.

Everyone does this, so there’s nothing strange about it.

But this information was problematic for Zhou Qing, who already knew that the Zhang family was colluding with the barbarians.

Could it be that the transactions between the Zhang family and the barbarians were conducted in the Ashbone Mountains? The goods are in this team returning to their ancestral land?

Even if it wasn't, it didn't matter. As long as Zhang Xinli left Hanyuan City, that would be Zhou Qing's chance to catch him alive.

Zhou Qing asked: "Have the Zhang family returned to Hengchuan County this month?"

"No."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, and then carefully learned about the intelligence of some masters of the Zhang family and many matters related to Hengchuan County with Han Deyan.

After Han Deyan left, Zhou Qing said to Han Shanshan:

"Miss Han, please pay attention to Zhang Xinli and other masters from the Han family for me. If anyone wants to go to Hengchuan County, please notify me in time."

"But this matter must be kept secret and no one can know it. I think it is necessary."

"Senior Brother Zhou, please rest assured. Every time the Zhang family returns to Hengchuan County, it will be done openly. It is not difficult to find out and no one will find you."

Han Shanshan smiled and said, "After all, the Han family has been paying attention to the Zhang family for more than a day or two."

"Senior Brother Zhou, do you want to go to Hengchuan County? Do you need to ask my father to send a few experts from the Han family to join you?"

Zhou Qing shook his head, "No, it's more convenient for me to be alone."

The masters of the Han family...

Judging from Zhou Qing's current strength, except for Han Tielin, everyone else in the Han family is just low-handed in front of him.

With him, we don't keep secrets, and when we are in danger, we ask him to take care of the Han family.

What Zhou Qing didn't expect was that in the afternoon, the Han family reported to him that many people from the Zhang family had gone to Hengchuan County.

The person leading the team is none other than Zhang Xinli!

This made Zhou Qing feel that these Zhang family members were probably going to trade with the barbarians.

The young man holding the fan had just urged Zhang Xinkong, and something like this happened in the afternoon, which is hard not to think of.

In addition to Zhang Xinli, other experts from the Zhang family and the Han family also gave him accurate information, allowing Zhou Qing to have an accurate understanding of the Zhang family's strength.

After Zhang Xinli and the others left Hanyuan City, Zhou Qing told Han Tielin that they hoped he could return to his peak as soon as possible. It was very likely that he would need to take action soon.

Then Zhou Qing followed quietly. At the same time, he also gave Han Tielin a snail to facilitate subsequent contact at any time.

The distance from Hanyuan City to Hengchuan County is definitely within the service range of Snail.

After seeing Zhang Xinli and others from a distance, Zhou Qing did not worry, but found a deserted place, transformed into an earth spirit demon, walked underground, and followed the Zhang family.

The earth spirit demon can control the power of the earth, so there is no problem in tearing up the earth to create an area that can accommodate his physical body, and then walking underground with it.

Zhang Xinli's range of mental perception is definitely wider than his, but the earth spirit demon is extremely talented and naturally protected by the earth. He remains in a borderline extreme position, and it is impossible for Zhang Xinli to detect his traces.

At the same time, these Zhang family members will not be lost.

Zhou Qing planned to wait until he was far away from Hanyuan City before taking action. He would definitely not give Zhang Xinli and the others any chance to ask for help from Zhang Xinkong, and would not attract the attention of Hengchuan County.

Information about the masters in this Zhang family's team emerged in Zhou Qing's mind.

Zhang Xinli showed his sage to perfection.

Zhang Bai is in the late stage of becoming a saint, Zhang Wei is in the middle stage of marrow purification, and Zhang Yan is in the middle stage of becoming a saint.

There are a total of four masters at the level of manifesting the saint and purifying the marrow, and they are within the range of Zhou Qing's response.

As for the day trip to the Bone Refining Realm, it goes without saying that in front of Zhou Qing, he is just a weed and can be harvested at will.

It is impossible for the Zhang family to have another Zhou Qing.

As time passed, Zhou Qing occasionally checked the map to determine his current location.

By evening, they were far away from Hanyuan City.

The Zhang family and his party rushed to Hengchuan County. Naturally, they couldn't do it on foot or on horseback. The flying magic weapon was extremely fast.

Fortunately, the earth spirit demon has a huge bonus in the earth. The power of the earth will not hinder him at all, but will help him move forward, so Zhou Qing can never lose track.

"The location is almost there..."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then stopped where he was. After confirming that he was no longer within Zhang Xinli's perception range, he rushed out of the earth and returned to his human body.

Then he took out a flying magic weapon that was temporarily lent to him by the Han family, the top flying magic weapon among the Han family, and chased Zhang Xinli and the others at an even faster speed.

A large number of yuan crystals embedded in the flying magic weapon were drained of their power, and the distance between them and Zhang Xinli was shortened in an instant, and it is still continuing.

The movement behind quickly alerted Zhang Xinli and others. The Zhang family's flying boat stopped, and many experts looked back.

"It's the Han family's Aurora Flying Boat!"

Zhang Xinli frowned. This flying magic weapon was famous, and he knew it.

"Why do people from the Han family suddenly appear? Are they also going to Hengchuan County?"

"Are they coming for us?"

"Han Tielin was almost beaten to death by the family master, how dare they? Maybe there is an emergency in Hengchuan County."

"..."

The others were talking a lot, but none of them were afraid.

Zhang Xinkong's breakthrough has allowed the Zhang family to expand to an unprecedented extent. In addition, Zhang Xinli is also here. Except for Han Tielin, no one in the Han family is the opponent of this perfect saint.

They are even considering that if the people in the Aurora Flying Boat are not as strong as them, then they will keep the people from the Han family!
This is not the first time that the Han and Zhang families have done something like this secretly.

Zhang Xinli asked loudly: "Who is a friend of the Han family?"

"People from the Zhang family? I'm not here to see you. I have an urgent matter in Hengchuan County."

The change in Zhou Qing's voice imitated an old man from the Han family whom he met while refining alchemy.

Zhang Xinli sneered, "Han Dewei? What will happen to you old guy when you go to Hengchuan County? Why don't you stop and chat with us."

At the same time, he winked at the other Zhang family members, who understood and secretly gathered strength.

The Aurora Flying Boat was getting closer and closer, and the Zhang family was ready to make a move, but before they could make a move, three formation flags were suddenly thrown out from the flying boat!
The tyrannical formation was formed instantly, and the power of heaven and earth boiled.

A magical sword appeared out of nowhere, as powerful as a god.

"Hey!"

The unstoppable power directly pierced the foreheads of the three Zhang family members, and then cut Zhang Xinkong, who had perfected his sanctification, into two halves!

He came to his senses and already unleashed his terrifying Taoist skills to resist, but it was all in vain.

Before it was over, the magical sword swallowed up unparalleled divine light and disappeared. When it reappeared, it had fallen on the rest of the Zhang family, ending everyone's lives. All resistance was just like paper. Just defense.

The Holy Manifestation Realm, the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and the powerful Holy Manifestation Perfection that have had the experience of attacking Yin Shen, are like tofu under the suppression of the formation and the invincible magical sword.

It breaks when touched!
Zhou Qing also arrived at the Zhang family's flying magic weapon and directly took away all their souls and suppressed them.

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the Zhang family was dead and dead.
