Not to mention the people in Kuo City, even those outside Kuo City can see the thick smoke rising into the sky.

However, people in the city can see it more clearly. The raging fire is rising into the sky, and even the shield on the city defense array is vaguely visible.

The city defense array does not block the flames, but the high temperature when the flames burn will produce subtle changes in the shields, so it will be more obvious.

It is sunrise at this moment, and many people have just got up, but after discovering the location of the fire, many people immediately find a good position to watch the gorgeous flames.

No one in Kuo City knows that the two places where the fires are located are the residences of the two big families in Kuo City, the painter and the ghost family.

Although everyone is very curious, no one dares to get close to observe. Although the series of battles last night took place at midnight, they have already spread. Seeing that the ghost family and the painter are now on fire, everyone has a clear understanding of the battle last night.

Not too far from the Guihua family, this place is bustling and lively regardless of day or night.

Just above an inconspicuous building, two middle-aged men stood side by side. One of them was wearing a black robe with strange patterns on the surface. This man was Guiwu, the second leader of the Gui family.

The other man was wearing a white robe with a majestic ink painting of mountains and rivers on it. This middle-aged man was the current head of the painter family, Huaxing.

Although the two looked into the distance at the same time, they each looked at the location of the two fires. Instead, their expressions were surprisingly consistent at this time. The difference was what they were thinking at the moment.

The burning of the mansion was certainly a great loss to the Gui family, but a figure emerged in Guiwu's mind. That was his third brother Guifeng, the one who led the people to ambush the poisoned person on the other side. At this moment, it can be judged that he is in danger.

The original strength of the Gui family was not weaker than that of the painter, but in terms of high-end combat power, it was slightly weaker than Huaxing and Huasu. But in the battle last night, Gui Yun was killed by Wang Xiao first, and now Gui Feng also disappeared. Now, only Gui Wu is left among the three commanders. How can he not be depressed and want to vomit blood?

Hua Xing, on the other side, also looked at the mansion of his family, but what he thought of was not a certain person, but the items stored in the family.

Just as Su Jian guessed, the precious items and rare materials stored in the secret room were all quietly transferred out after the Xuanwu Emperor's Hua Mansion was broken, and carefully kept and brought to Kuocheng. It can be said that Hua Xing has placed most of his hopes on this to revive the painter.

Hua Xing took people to the Gui family to meet with Gui Wu and others to discuss the next step. Finally, the corpse bone poison arranged in the Gui family was to delay for a short period of time. This period of time was used by Hua Xing to transfer the precious materials of the painter.

But Hua Xing was not sure whether the Su Wang family would really act according to his plan, so he sent some of his confidants back to the family to take out the things. He was even worried that those people would take the things and run away directly, and he was also worried that those people would reveal his bigger secrets, so he specially fed them poison.

Since they hadn't returned yet, those people must have been poisoned to death, and the problem was those precious materials. He hoped that those people would not be so stupid as to not be able to bring the things back, and keep the things around them, and the final result would be that Su Jian and Wang Xiao's group would benefit for nothing.

With a heavy sigh, Gui Wu couldn't help but speak, saying: "You don't need to worry too much. They set fire to the secret room like this, and they shouldn't expose it. As long as we find an opportunity, we can sneak back and get it back."

Hearing these words in Hua Xing's ears, he became more irritated, and his face became even uglier. He said: "Where do we have any chance to find it now? Any appearance will be a disaster for us. I don't know whether this choice is correct or not."

Looking at Hua Xing deeply, Gui Wu's face looked even uglier than his, which immediately attracted Hua Xing's attention, and he hurriedly said: "It's not that I think the previous decision was wrong, I just want to tell you that we are facing The situation is very dangerous, and we cannot make any mistakes. "

With a weak sigh, Guiwu said with a frown: "Our current strength is already like this. The people you sent have not returned yet, so they must have died. There is still no news from my third brother, and I don’t know whether the operation is going smoothly. If..., hey, I really don’t dare to think about it!"

Hearing Guiwu’s sigh, Huaxing looked up at Guiwu and said: "You sent Guifeng and his people, and I sent my confidants. But the people I sent have taken poison in advance, and Guifeng knows a lot of things that will happen next, so we can’t help but be on guard. "

"What did you say? Don’t you believe my third brother?" Guiwu said angrily with an angry look.

Huaxing said without giving in: "You also know how serious the current situation is. If Guifeng betrays us, not only will we have no hope of turning over, but we will also have to put all our chips into it. Don’t you think this price is too high? "

Gui Wu looked at Hua Xing coldly, but said in an unusually firm voice: "It doesn't matter if you don't trust my third brother, but I will absolutely trust him. Among the group of people he brought, he is the only one who knows our plan, which is why I am not worried. Maybe others will betray us, but my third brother will never do so."

"Why are you so confident in him?" Hua Xing was a little surprised, but continued to ask.

Gui Wu looked embarrassed about this question, but finally said reluctantly: "My third brother's son is not in the Xuanwu Empire now, and he has no worries. If our plan can go smoothly, his son will definitely have a good development in the future. If it fails, he knows that it will also be a disaster for his son."

As if remembering something, Hua Xing asked tentatively: "You mean, Gui Feng's son..."

Shaking his head, Gui Wu interrupted Hua Xing without waiting for him to continue and said: "There are some things I can't say, so you'd better not ask, let alone test, which will be more helpful for the cooperation between you and my two families."

In the past, when the two families of Gui Hua and Gui Yun came into contact, Hua Xing had always been facing Gui Yun, and Gui Wu and Gui Feng always gave Hua Xing the impression of being the kind of yes-men who could not stand alone.

But since Gui Yun died and Gui Wu began to take charge, Hua Xing gradually discovered that this second commander was actually fully capable of holding power, and was even slightly better than the deceased Gui Yun in planning and commanding, and might only be slightly worse in cultivation.

Since the other party had said so, Hua Xing did not continue to ask, but turned his sight to the painter's mansion in the distance where the fire was still raging.

As if remembering something, Gui Wu suddenly turned his head and looked behind and around. In this area, there was no ghost painter warrior following, and no one was wandering around.

After searching several times, he spoke with confidence: "Do you think this plan is really feasible? If you came to the Gui family to find us to leave together, I would be very tempted, but I didn't expect you to bring such a plan. I am still a little nervous.

And from what you said just now, it seems that you don't have any confidence. I really don't know how likely we will be to win next. Although it's a bit late now, if we suddenly attack the city gate at this time, I think the Su Wang family will definitely not have time to split and stop all of us."

With a slight movement in his heart, Hua Xing couldn't say that he was not tempted by this idea. It was even like a feather, constantly teasing in his heart, making him itch. But another idea always has the upper hand, that is, what someone said to him before, and the analysis that helped him make.

Although he could not fully trust that person, the analysis deeply touched Huaxing, so he came forward to persuade Guiwu and other members of the Gui family to stay together.

What made Huaxing stay resolutely was actually his ambition. If he was still the painter Wuhu, he would not have such ambition, nor would he dare to have such ambition. But now the painter, the five tigers are only himself and the fifth Huasu, and the head of the family and several elders have died in battle.

This blow is indeed great for the painter, but for himself, it is also a huge opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, he dared not imagine what it would be like for him to become the head of a third-rate force in the future.

Shaking off all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Huaxing said in a serious tone: "Since we have chosen to take this step, there is no turning back. If we leave the city before dawn when the Su Wang family has no reaction, it may really be like what you said.

But now the Su Wang family has been reorganized and has completely united with the City Lord's Mansion. With our current combat power, leaving the city is no longer a matter of how much it costs, but the risk of all dying in battle. Now there is only this way left."

After listening to Huaxing's words, Guiwu's face was a little ugly. If he gave up the alliance with the painter and left with his family, there was no hope of getting out of the city. And since Huaxing had made a decision, he was powerless to change it now.

Seeing what Guiwu was thinking, Huaxing immediately said: "In fact, we were almost defeated last night. If there hadn't been an accident, how could we still have hope to stand here.

Based on this point, you should believe what I say, believe that person's analysis and judgment, at least the current choice is the most beneficial for our two families."
