Just when Jin Yiwei was gathering people together to discuss which side to bet on, the arrival of a letter disrupted their plan.
"Yuwen? Are you sure?"
Lu Hanjiang looked at the letter in his hand and asked with some disbelief.
This thing is a bit strange to say. The contemporary head of the Yuwen family, Yu Wenzhao, who had never met or interacted with Lu Hanjiang, suddenly wrote something called "Integrity" to himself.
In the letter, the Yuwen family made it clear that during this chaos, they were willing to step in to stabilize the Gongsun family for the Jin Yiwei. At the same time, they also implicitly hinted that the arrangements between the Xuantian Sect and Wudang were probably all false. trick.
This is very interesting. The first thing you need to know is that the relationship between the Yuwen family and the imperial guards is not very good. On the surface, it is even considered the worst among the four major martial arts families.
The reason is that Yu Wenwei, the head of Yuwen's old family, is too overbearing and does not give Jin Yiwei face.
At that time, Mr. Meng knew that he could not completely eradicate the knights from the Jianghu through force, so he later retreated to the next best thing and started to cut the flesh with the dull knife of the Jianghu with a safe policy.
But it happened that under such circumstances, Yu Wenwei came out of nowhere. In the martial arts competition for the magic weapon at Zhujian Villa, he killed the three heads of Songshan, Taishan and Hengshan in one breath, and then seriously injured the head of Huashan, which indirectly contributed to Hengshan and the Five Sacred Mountains succeeded.
When he did this bastard thing, many people speculated that he had accepted the masters of the Hengshan sect, because at that time there were three magic weapons in the world, all the spirits were kept in the Sword Making Villa, and the Taoist priest had been held by the Yuwen family. .
As the only force in the world other than the Sword-making Villa that had obtained the divine weapon at that time, the Yuwen Family was already in the limelight, and there was no need to compete for the last secret of the divine weapon.
And in fact, the Yuwen family had no intention of competing for the magic weapon. Yuwenwei killed three of the five leaders and crippled one. Then this guy just slapped his ass and left, which shocked many people.
Anyway, everyone had established rules in the arena when grabbing swords, and no one could blame the other party for killing their comrades indiscriminately.
It was also because of this incident that Meng Yuan later regarded the Yuwen family as a thorn in his side, because it was obvious that after the merger of the Five Sacred Mountains, their popularity increased several times. In the blink of an eye, there was another huge unstable factor in the world.
Later events also confirmed Meng Yuan's worries. After the Five Mountains merged into factions, troubles in the Jianghu suddenly increased. Even after the leader of the Five Mountains suddenly passed away, the disputes between the Five Mountains factions still involved a large part of the Jianghu forces.
At that time, the Jinyiwei under Meng Yuan were not able to completely suppress the power of the entire Jianghu, and the disputes caused by the Five Mountains could be said to have crossed their bottom line.
Since then, Meng Yuan has been very unhappy with the Yuwen family, and has made trouble for them several times since then. But unfortunately, Yuwenwei is just cautious, and his son and successor Yuwen Zhao is also a flawless fox. .
Several fights ended in vain, making Meng Yuan both disgusted and fearful of the Yuwen family.
This bad relationship also lasted from the Meng Yuan era to the Lu Hanjiang era. The Jin Yiwei never had a good face towards the Yuwen family. This was mainly because they did not find a good opportunity, otherwise they would have started working with each other long ago.
But now, the Yuwen family, which was almost considered the closest enemy of Jin Yiwei, unexpectedly sent a letter of surrender. This was not only strange to Lu Hanjiang, but almost everyone could not understand it.
Cui Yixiao said a little uncertainly: "Could it be that someone is doing this to confuse us?"
Zeng Hong thought for a long time and shook his head: "Probably not. I recognize Yu Wenwei's handwriting. Sending this letter has already taken a huge risk. Yuwen is not Dongfang. He won't just put it in order to use this cover. Are you risking your life and fortune?"
Zeng Hong's words were unanimously recognized by everyone. There are two reasons why the Dongfang Family can be used as an abandoned son by the Crown Princess. First, the Dongfang Family has been defeated, and the entire family relies on the Crown Princess's favor to survive.
On the other hand, it is also because Dongfang Huang has his own problems, and it is rare in the past for him to be a dog for others.
But the Yuwen family is completely different. First of all, Yuwen Zhao and Yu Wenwei, father and son, are figures that give Meng Yuan even a headache. They are not at the same level as Dongfang Huang. They were both the patriarchs of the four major families. I guess they are similar. It's just martial arts.
Secondly, as one of the two existing rivers and lakes families, the Yuwen family is extremely powerful, and they have cleverly avoided several consecutive rivers and lakes disputes.
Even if they had to be involved, the losses would be minimized. Unlike the Dongfang Family, which was almost ruined, the Yuwen Family is now terrifyingly powerful.
How could the survival of the Yuwen family be so simply determined by a game played by the Crown Princess? Even if Yu Wenzhao agreed, it would be impossible for other members of the Yuwen family to watch him be so crazy.
And some things are matters of principle. People should never bet on something they cannot afford.
Because even if the Yuwen family really uses this letter to play Jin Yiwei's game, the best result is that the Crown Princess's plan is completely successful. Jin Yiwei's chess game is just one step away, and he loses a small game, and he may also become the laughingstock of the world.
But that's all.
It was impossible not to retaliate after slapping Jin Yiwei so hard. Whether the Yuwen Family would still exist would be a question.
Because the Yuwen family is naturally in the wrong in this matter, the existence of this letter is equivalent to proving that the Yuwen family took the initiative to get involved in the battles in the court. This is the Yuwen family taking the initiative to break the rules, so it is only natural for the Jinyiwei to attack them, and no one can say it. Not a word.
Again, in this matter, compared to the Yuwen Family, the Jinyiwei's retreat options are too many and too wide. If they lose a small game, they will be embarrassed at most, but the Yuwen Family is directly doomed, and they simply cannot afford to gamble.
Therefore, this letter is most likely a sincere surrender from the other party, but everyone still has no idea why the other party did this.
Not long after the letter was sent, the Yuwen family was almost in a state of chaos, and a group of clan elders came to investigate.
However, the reason why these old men came to hold them accountable was not because Yu Wenzhao wrote a letter to Jin Yiwei to surrender, but because after that, Yu Wenzhao actually drove away the Crown Princess's envoy.
They were already incapable of dealing with the Jin Yiwei, so surrendering this time was unreasonable. If they turn against the Crown Princess now, wouldn't this mean that they are cutting off their future?
Faced with the aggressive questioning from all the elders, Yu Wenzhao just said something calmly.
"This is our best opportunity in decades. If we seize it, our family will be worry-free for the next hundred years." He said this.
Yu Wenzhao's solemn words also calmed down the elders. Yu Wenwei and Yu Wenzhao, father and son, have led the family for decades, and this prestige is still there.
But this fact is so unreasonable, so some people can't help but ask: "Master, even if you are not willing to help the Crown Princess, there is no need for us to help the Jin Yiwei. The contradiction between us and them is too deep. ah."
This statement was recognized by many people, and someone immediately agreed: "Yes, Patriarch, the world is about to be in chaos. We only need to guard our own land and sit on the Diaoyutai. Why bother to wade into this muddy water."
Yu Wenzhao said calmly: "Being closed to oneself is a dead end. Now that the world is in chaos, even if the Jin Yiwei is strong, it will be stretched for a while. The kindness sent by my Yuwen family at this moment is enough to resolve all previous grievances."
As soon as these words came out, all the clan elders looked thoughtful, and another person said: "The head of the family must know that there is no turning back when you shoot the bow. If you want the Jin Yiwei to accept us this time, the Yuwen family will definitely extirpate itself. Has the head of the family already Are you aware?"
"nature."
Yu Wenzhao said calmly: "You don't have to worry about Jin Yiwei crossing the river and burning the bridge. It is precisely because our Yuwen family has a great cause and a greater momentum that Jin Yiwei will definitely accept our surrender and offer us the highest price, because our Yuwen family , will be their strongest help in destroying the foundation of the entire world."
