"Oh, I understand. The people in Lianshui City also know that Pingjiangyuan's living conditions are very poor. In addition, the forces of the various families in the city restrict each other, so they did not make a tough unified action against Pingjiangyuan. But occasionally some families' ships were charged too much protection fees, and they would send people to negotiate. As long as the people in Pingjiangyuan hand over some of the money, they would no longer pursue them." After hearing Yun Shu's words, Lu Niu seemed to understand some things, so he nodded.

"No, it's not that simple, haha." Yun Shu said with a smile and shook his head.

"Is it because of the Wu family?" Lu Niu asked immediately in confusion.

"Yes, not. But there seems to be a mysterious and powerful force in the middle that is maintaining it, and I can't see through it, so I can only be so suspicious." Yun Shu nodded and said.

In fact, Lu Niu probably knows more about the reason than Yun Shu. Because the secret strength that supports the Wu family is Xuanwu Sect. In order to develop the strength of its own sect, Xuanwu Sect looks for outstanding talents everywhere in the world, and then threatens and induces others to join Xuanwu Sect, and then becomes a combat tool for them to compete for territory or interests with other major sects.

In order to discover outstanding talents in time, the people of Xuanwu Sect tried their best to create conflicts where they could get involved, and let all forces fight continuously, so that all forces could try their best to cultivate the combat power of family personnel and explore potential people. In this way, those qualified talents were revealed early, and then they found ways to control others. Those who were willing to become their Xuanwu Sect will be sent back to the Xuanwu Sect, and they will be carefully trained. If they are unwilling to become Xuanwu Sect, they will find ways to make others willing. Those with backbone will be punished to death.

"Dad, I seem to know a little about this." Long Heping said.

"Oh? Yes, you said before that year, when a Wang family leader passed through Lianshui City, he found an underground passage for some reason and found many people from Lianshui City who were imprisoned. This made the Yu family take the initiative to use the 'Title World' ban, which led to the Xuanwu Sect, right?" After hearing Long Heping's words, Yun Shu suddenly remembered some of the stories about Lianshui City that Long Heping told him before, and immediately asked.

"Yes." Long Heping said.

"Haha, of course it's this, and it's not the reason. The main reason, based on what we know and think of, should be impossible to know." However, Yun Shu immediately chuckled.

"Uncle Yun, say this, is there another force involved in it?" Lu Niu asked immediately.

"Brother Lu, in fact, the situation in Pingjiangyuan is not as simple as you think. Some people have a river and lake, and some have a chain of interests. Although Pingjiangyuan is a place where there are no people, because there are more and more people, there are naturally people with powerful people coming in to pay attention.

There are many roads to go from Zhongzhou to Wanshou City, but following the Meng River upstream is naturally the fastest shortcut.

However, since someone intercepted passing ships and collected protection fees in Pingjiangyuan, the people who walked from this road to Wanbeast City have become young. I can say that no one has passed by this road now, right?" Yun Shu said.

"Dad, basically no one passes by the water road now. However, Lianshui City has already opened a road from Zhutuling to the city of Shanghui. Now all the people passing by are walking on that road." Long Heping said.

"I know, you said it just now. But things are not as simple as you think. Alas, in fact, I can't explain it clearly." Yun Shu shook his head and said.

"Uncle Yun, what we are talking about now is actually some things in the world. Uncle Yun, as the leader of Ping Jiangyuan, you naturally got involved in it inadvertently. So, Uncle Yun, is it related to these things you are trapped here?" Lu Niu said immediately. He had already learned in detail from Zhao Daniu and Shuilonging and knew all the situation in Ping Jiangyuan. So now listening to Yun Shu's words, he understood that Yun Shu was actually just being used, and Yun Shu himself didn't understand much, so he pulled the topic aside.

"Oh, yes, not. You guys, how about Tian Shuang now?" Yun Shu immediately sighed, and then asked Lu Niu and Long Heping.

"Dad, I have never had direct contact with him, and I really don't know him. However, when I hear this name, I feel uncomfortable." Long Heping said immediately.

"Oh, yes, I love him so much, but I ignore you. You naturally have resentment in your heart. However, I am still very lucky to not bring you to the open. If my brothers knew that you were my son, maybe you no longer existed." Yun Shu sighed again.

"Uncle Yun, your trap seems to be related to Tongtianshuang?" Lu Niu asked immediately.

"I don't know, but I just heard Ping'er say that after I disappeared, Ping Jiangyuan was the one who was in charge of the head. I felt that there must be something strange about it. But I firmly believe that he will not harm me." Yun Shu said.

"Uncle Yun, what does this Tian Shuang have to do with you?" Lu Niu asked again.

"I have nothing to do with him. He was just taken from an old man." Yun Shu said.

"Take it from an old man?" Lu Niu couldn't help but look shocked.

"Yes, I was the one who was the one who was in Pingjiangyuan, but I immediately felt that it was not something I could control when I was in Pingjiangyuan. I just took a group of people to force passing ships to pay the protection fee every day. I didn't have to worry about all the people's livelihoods in Pingjiangyuan, and no one would obey my arrangements. So I was determined to withdraw.

However, when I was about to give the position of my head to a brother, a strong man suddenly came to me and said that I would allow me to leave Pingjiangyuan for three years. However, there was no human being in Pingjiangyuan for these three years. I just need to assign someone to take my brother to collect protection fees. But after three years, I must return to Pingjiangyuan, otherwise there would be unexpected consequences.

Of course this is a threat, but after all, I am just a Earth Martial Arts level cultivator. When I was intimidated, I was completely confused. I didn’t understand what was going on!

So, as he said, he told a brother that I wanted to go back to my hometown, so he secretly left Pingjiangyuan." Yun Shu said.

"Ah! Dad, I understand. It's because of this that you tell me not to tell anyone that I am your son, right?" Long Heping said immediately.

"Yes. But I didn't expect that your mother couldn't figure it out and she left us." Yun Shu nodded, and tears immediately rolled out.

"Uncle Yun, things have passed, please don't worry about it anymore. Uncle Yun, where is your ancestor?" Lu Niu immediately pulled the topic away.

"I am from Wuhai City." Yun Shu said.

"What?" As soon as Yun Shu finished speaking, Lu Niu was shocked.

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?" Seeing Lu Niu's expression, Yun Shu and his son looked at Lu Niu in shock and asked.

"Oh, nothing. Two years ago, I went to Wanshou City and went to Wanshou Mountain, where I met a friend from Wuhai City.

Originally, his cultivation was lower than mine, but he was swallowed by a beast to save me. Alas, the beast was too strong, and I couldn't kill it, so I had to escape." Lu Niu immediately sighed with pain. Of course, this is not true, he was trying to make up such a story for Mengyunshu and his son.

"Oh, Brother Lu, there is nothing I can do about it. I can think that since his strength is weaker than you, if something happens to you, he will not be able to survive. In this way, you don't owe him anything. Unlike Brother Lu, you save my father and son, this is a real kindness." Long Heping said immediately.

"Brother Long, I said before that I have lived and died with you, and I am like a family. So don't say this or not?

Uncle Yun, in this way, Tian Shuang is also from Wuhai City, right?" Lu Niu said immediately.

"Yes. When I went to Wuhai City, I made the stupidest move, which was to tell Ping'er and his mother that I would not recognize me.

But then I thought, I had already told my brothers about my family, so those who threatened me must know that I had a family.

Just when I didn't know how to solve this problem, I heard a child crying in a remote place. When I went there, I saw a three or four-year-old child lying on an old man crying. When I walked over, I saw that the old man was so hungry that he was dying, and the child was so hungry that he was skinny. I immediately took out dry food from his body for them to eat, but the old man could no longer eat it.

But looking at the old man's expression, I knew he had something to say to me. So I injected him with true energy and asked him to finish what he wanted to say to me.

So he told me that he picked up this child and asked me to help him take good care of it and that he must raise the child to adulthood.

This is the last wish of a dying man, and of course I agreed casually.

However, the old man used his last strength to grab my hand and said, "This child is from a big family in Wuhai City, very qualified. If he is trained to become a human being, I will be rewarded."

I immediately asked him which family he belonged to. However, he no longer had the strength to speak at this time. He just slurped twice in his mouth and died," said Yun Shu.

"Uncle Yun, then so, why don't you tell the public that he is your biological son?" Lu Niu asked immediately.

In fact, his heart was already rolling in his mouth at this time, and he was completely sure that Tian Shuang was the nephew of Lu Ye who was looking for!

But he knew that he must not have an expression of overly excited at this time.

"Oh, of course I can't accept this in my heart, because I already owe my son.

However, I did not bring my wife and children to Pingjiangyuan, but my godson, so I naturally wanted to make up a story.

So I said that he was the son of a friend of mine. In order to save my family, my friend was killed. So, I took his son as if he was born. Later, Ping'er came to Pingjiangyuan, and I simply intimidated him, making him afraid to come to me, and dared not tell others his true identity.
