Jia Kui ran in from outside the camp. His clothes were in tatters and his face was stained. As soon as he entered the big tent, Jia Kui ran towards Lu Lie howling, knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Young Master, please save the master of the family. The Ji family will attack the master of the family." Lu Lie stood up and glared at the man lying on the ground. Jia Kui, who was crying loudly on the ground,
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with father?" Jia Kui was about to reply when Bu Kuan glared at him. Can such a thing be said in a big tent? He turned to Lu Lie with a serious face and said, "Young Master, please come." Ask questions behind the tent."
"That's right." Lu Lie also reacted, turned around and walked behind the tent. After taking two steps, he saw Jia Kui still lying on the ground and cursed in anger: "You trash, why don't you follow me?" Come on." Bu Kuan picked up Jia Kui and hurried back.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the tent, and everyone looked panicked. Jia Kui's unclear voice revealed a lot of information, that is, the Ji family couldn't help it anymore and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of keeping watch in Zhaoqin City to attack the head of the family.
Who has such courage, Ji Chen? Unlikely, this person has always been honest. Could it be Ji Ye? He accompanied him all the way to Zhaoqin City.
If the news is true, what will this group of people do? Should they send troops to the Ji family? Although there are nearly 70,000 people gathered here, if the Ji family withdraws the guards and defends Hanlu City and Zhaoqin City, they are really no match for the opponent in terms of numbers.
In the chaos, Bahong and the other young masters walked directly behind the tent regardless of whether the Lu family agreed or not.
When they arrived at a small tent behind the tent, the place was already tightly surrounded by people from the Lu family.
"Young masters, please wait a moment. My young masters are asking about secrets. It is inconvenient for us to meet each other. Please forgive me." A leading officer came up and apologized to the young masters.
"What's the secret? Now our family is here in response to the Lu family's order. We are both prosperous and devastated. Besides, it is related to the safety of our family head. Is there anything we can't listen to?" Qiu Linhe's eyes widened with anger. His father was also summoning Qin. As for the city, if something happened to the Lu family, I might not be able to escape.
Saying that, Qiu Linhe ignored it and forced his way in. Seeing this, the officer had no choice but to let his men stop a few people for the time being, then turned around and went into the small tent to report.
This tent obviously has some kind of restriction, and no sound can be heard from inside. After a while, Bu Kuan walked out of the small tent, his face a little ugly, and he cupped his hands towards the young masters.
"Please come in, I just happened to call in several town governors to discuss how to deal with it." Qiu Linhe and others entered the small tent, and someone went to the big tent to invite several town governors to come over.
When they arrived at the tent, Lu Lie's furious roar rushed towards him,
"Trash, you just ran back like this, ah, why didn't you get killed outside and still have the nerve to run back." With that said, he kicked Jia Kui and flew him to the corner of the tent.
Bu Kuan's face was gloomy. Seeing Lu Lie's reluctance, he stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"Young master, control your anger. Let's listen to what Jia Kui said and see if the master of the house has anything else to say." Lu Lie was panting and his face was ferocious. It took him a long time to calm down.
Bu Kuan is a veteran in the family, so he still needs to be given some face. Seeing Qiu Linhe and others walking in, Lu Lie suppressed his anger and yelled at Jia Kui,
"Come here and tell me everything exactly." He sat down with his hands on his knees, his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and his teeth clenched like an enraged lion.
Jia Kui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, crawled over with all his strength, lowered his head and said with tears: "Young master, I was ordered to accompany the family master to Zhaoqin City. There was nothing serious at the beginning. Halfway through the journey, the family master suddenly fell ill and his whole body became stiff. , slurred speech. In panic, I hurriedly prepared to go out to find the doctor, but was held tightly by the owner of the house. The old man reluctantly told me that he had been feeling a little unwell these days. I originally thought it was because of the hard work of traveling, but today He lost all his magic power and must have been poisoned by the Ji family. He was probably poisoned when he was in Hanlu City, but the poison is secretive and cannot be detected after being poisoned. It takes little by little to accumulate before it suddenly attacks. This Along the way, the Ji family should have been stopping the poison, but I'm afraid they don't know when the poison will occur. After all, everyone's cultivation level is different, so they still don't know about the family leader's illness at this time. The family leader asked me Don't say anything. Before the Ji family discovers that the old man is poisonous, escape quickly. I must find the young master. Since the Ji family has attacked him, they will definitely send troops to destroy the Lu family later. Please be careful, young master. , Contact several companies to take the initiative to send troops, don't sit still and wait for death." At this point, Jia Kui raised his head, wiped the tears on his face, and took off a black baggage from his body. After opening it, there was A knife.
Holding the knife in both hands, Jia Kui said sadly,
"This is a token given to me by the master of the house. I only say that the young master will recognize this knife and see the knife as he sees a person." Lu Lie stepped forward and snatched the knife over, his lips trembling slightly,
"This knife has been with my father for so many years. It is the old man's personal belongings and never leaves his body. Since he abandoned this knife, it means that the old man is really at the end of his rope." Jia Kui took a few steps on his knees and grabbed Lu Lie's wrist. Legs lamented: "The master originally wanted to write a letter to the young master, but his old man's hands no longer worked at that time, so he had to write a few words hastily." Lu Lie picked up Jia Kui, his eyes wide with anger. open eyes,
"Where is the letter?" Jia Kui's face turned red due to the strangulation, and he could only plead softly: "Please let me down, young master, the letter is in my belly." Lu Lie was stunned and dropped Jia Kui.
"Did you eat the letter? Please take it out quickly."
"No, the villain is sewn into the flesh." Jia Kui got up, turned around, walked around, walked to a guard, and took off the knife on his body.
"Let me borrow the knife." He said as he pulled off his shirt, and a smell came out, and he saw a big scar on his stomach, which probably hadn't grown yet.
Gritting his teeth, Jia Kui used a knife to cut open the scar on his stomach, and bright red blood spurted out all over the floor.
Everyone in the room frowned, and saw Jia Kui searching for something in the meat with his fingers. The white flesh mixed with blood looked shocking.
Even though these people are used to seeing life and death, they can't help but feel a little eclipsed. This man was so cruel to him that he actually hid the letter in his body.
Jia Kui was sweating profusely and trembling all over. He found an oil paper bag from the flesh and handed it to Lu Lie with trembling hands stained with blood.
"Young Master, this is the letter from the head of the family." Lu Lie didn't care whether it was clean or not. He carefully opened the oiled paper bag, and inside was a crumpled piece of paper. The writing on it had been blurred, but it was still It's barely discernible.
I saw something crookedly written on the paper, "The Ji family is a tyrannical and ruthless gang, and my son will avenge his father."
Three consecutive revenges were as powerful as the back of the paper, like three daggers stabbing Lu Lie's eyes. After staring for a long time, Lu Lie's eyes turned red and he sat down slumped.
Bu Kuan took the letter, read it carefully, nodded and said: "Although the structure of the words is scattered, the meaning inside is consistent with what the head of the family writes every day, so it should be true." After that, he turned to ask Jia Kui,
"How did you escape?" At this time, Jia Kui's face was a little pale due to excessive blood loss, and his eyes were a little unfocused. After hearing Bu Kuan's question, he could only reluctantly answer: "After taking the letter, the boy took advantage of Ji's family to Not noticing anything strange about the owner, he quickly got out of the carriage. Because he had stayed in Hanlu City for a long time, he got to know a guard nearby, so he escaped on the pretext of needing to relieve himself. Along the way, the Ji family kept sending people to pursue him. , the younger one also hid left and right to avoid the pursuers, and finally arrived here." As he spoke, Jia Kui's body was crumbling, and it was obvious that he could no longer support himself.
Bu Kuan sighed with approval in his eyes.
"What a loyal and brave man. Come, take him down to rest, use the best medicine, and send more people to protect him." A guard came forward and helped Jia Kui, who was almost unconscious, to leave the small tent.
"Ji family, I swear to be incompatible with you. If I don't avenge this revenge, I, Lu Lie, will not be the son of a human being." Lu Lie grabbed his father's sword and gritted his teeth.
Bu Kuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, the family leader's matter is certainly heartbreaking, but tens of thousands of troops are here, all relying on your coordination. This is not the time to be sad. The key is that we have to decide on the next step. Countermeasures. If what Jia Kui said is true, it’s hard to say that the Ji family is already sharpening its sword and preparing to attack us."
"Not bad." Bahong stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Brother Lu, the situation is extremely urgent at this time. The soldiers are very fast and the heads of each family are not here. We must make up our minds quickly to prevent the Ji family from gathering troops and strangulating us in Yediyuan."
"Everyone, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Lie looked at everyone in the tent with a ferocious look on his face.
"I want the coalition forces to organize their troops now, attack Zhaoqin City, and save all the family heads in one fell swoop." Bu Kuan glanced at Qiu Linzhi, and the two made eye contact. Qiu Linzhi had no choice but to take a step forward, rushed to Lu Lie, and raised his hand.
"Young Master Lu, I have something to say. According to what the warrior just said, the head of the family was plotted when he left. I'm afraid going to Zhaoqin City at this time will not help."
"Is it possible to watch my father live and die in Zhaoqin City? In this case, how will the world see me, and how will I have the face to meet my clan members." Lu Lieqiang suppressed his anger. During this period, in order to respond to the challenge, he If you use the Extracting and Devouring method too much, you will inevitably become a little restless.
Qiu Linzhi frowned slightly. Both he and Bu Kuan had led troops for many years. Naturally, they knew that mobilizing troops was a matter of life and death, and they should not be acted on impulse.
But Bu Kuan, because his young master's face was hard to explain clearly, had no choice but to act as the villain himself. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of troops were thrown here, the family would be even more in danger.
Not to mention the pressure on the Ji family, the Wanhu family who were watching eagerly next to them would pounce on him and take a bite out of him.
"Young Master, when we send out an army, we need to think carefully. If we send out troops, we must have an explanation for where to march, when to send out troops, and how to deploy the coalition forces. At present, we have four difficulties in sending out troops for the coalition forces." Qiu Linzhi looked at it. He glanced at his young master and cupped his hands towards Lu Lie.
"When our army goes to Zhaoqin City, it must pass through Hanlu City. If the Ji family intercepts it, how can it pass smoothly? How many troops should be left to confront it? Can the remaining troops capture Zhaoqin City? This is a difficulty. I Although the coalition forces have been stationed here for many days, everyone knows the actual situation. They are united but not united, and they are still acting independently. Regardless of the number of people, if the troops are rushed out, not only will they not be able to form a joint force, but they may also hinder each other. , were defeated one by one by the Ji family. This is a dilemma. The soldiers of the various families stationed here did not tell them to fight with the Ji family in advance. If they were to directly confront the lord's family, because the Ji family has great prestige, I am afraid they would be afraid. This It cannot be overcome by just a few people in our tent who want to fight and dare to fight. These are three difficulties. In addition, as far as I know, the Ji family has worked hard in the past two years, and the North and South armies have continued to expand. There are more than 70,000 people who have joined forces with us. The strength of the troops is equal. If there is support from the guards, we really have no advantage. This is four difficulties. If these four difficulties are not solved, our army may not have the upper hand this time." Qiu Linzhi finished his long speech and made the tent quiet. Many of the people here have led soldiers to some extent, and those who have not seen their own generals fight in battles, so they know that what they say is reasonable.
"This is difficult, that is difficult, maybe we won't be able to send troops." Lu Lie looked irritated and kicked over a chair in front of him.
Qiu Linzhi looked a little ugly. He had good intentions, but the young master of the Lu family acted like this, so he took a step back and said nothing.
"Don't worry, young master. I have some ideas to deal with the current situation." Seeing that everyone was silent, Bu Kuan had no choice but to go out.
