A few hours later, all those who were basically concerned about the Murong family's invasion of the Dongri Kingdom knew the situation of Wei Ling, Li Lingyou, Wang Mantuo, Yang Baiwei, Liu Xihe and others.
Wang Buliu, the tall king of the royal family, is nearly a hundred years old, but his hair is still black and shiny. According to his favorite way, it is casually pulled into a bun, with a white jade hairpin pinned sideways.
Regarding such information, he looked indifferent, looked at Wang Tiexian, who had been following him for a long time and was equivalent to his deputy, and threw out the message:
"Don't worry about Mantuo and Pingpeng. The Murong family does have some careful thoughts in handling it, but the people of the Takeda family are not stupid either. They are willing to be the sword in the opponent's hand and can easily become enemies of the empire and the four great families. , it’s just a temporary detention, it’s a good thing to suffer a little.”
Wang Tiexian nodded.
Wang Buliu casually checked some books on the desk and continued to give instructions:
“Besides, isn’t there still that Wei Ling among them?
Since he is a wise warlock, it won't be that simple.
Liu Xihe from the Ministry of Education, isn't the Liu family in Runzhou mainly training this young man in the past two years? He has always been very low-key, and he must not be an idiot. With these two people here, there is not much risk to others.
What's more, the third child is not a vegetarian... Haha, I don't know how Li Yuanming will respond. "
Wang Tiexian was a little confused:
"Then, Valve Master, we won't respond?"
"No, how can it be like this? It would appear that our prince is ruthless towards his core disciples. Doesn't the Murong family still have an information channel with us? Let's ask them and let them resolve it."
…
Also in the imperial capital, at the Li family's residence, in the study of the family leader Li Yuanming, Li Daji, who rarely appeared all year round, was drinking tea and chatting with the family leader's eldest brother.
When Li Yuanming received the message from the Procuratorate, his face was a little serious, and he immediately threw the message to Li Daji.
"Second brother, it hasn't been long since you took back the clone from over there. Something will go wrong. Please predict it."
Li Daji was a little nervous. After all, the matter involved Li Lingyou. Although he was a bit confused and unambitious, he still cared about his son.
"Brother, from a rational analysis, Murong is suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife, but the Takeda family has no reason to do this. Even if they are just imprisoning them now, they will not dare to be ruthless in the future.
From an emotional point of view, it's a bit heart-wrenching...don't let Shibaro's mother know for the time being. "
Li Yuanming nodded gently:
"Well, I agree with your point of view, but after all, the risk has not been eliminated... Judging from the actions of the third brother, their attitude towards the Ministry of Supervision is to let the powerful family supervise the Murong family, and the empire should not take the lead.
Once the imperial official appeared, it would be equivalent to leaving no room for the Murong family. At the same time, the way the Chabu dealt with it also proved that the third brother and the others believed that Shiba Lang and others were safe. "
Li Daji nodded. Since his eldest brother and third brother both looked at it this way, he was a little relieved.
After all, Li Yuanming and Li Jubai were smarter than him after all.
"Don't we have communication channels with the Murong family? Tell them to find a solution. After all, it involves our core disciples and two first-class guests.
Tell them clearly that if someone from our Li family does anything bad, don't blame us for being unjust. "
Li Daji nodded with a smile.
…
Almost at the same time, Yang clan and Runzhou Liu clan both made similar decisions and handed over the rescue of the trapped people to Murong clan and urged them to solve it.
There are many sergeants in the Yang clan, such as the former Taiwei officer, the state captain Yang Duanjue, the Xihuang Army Sima Yang Jingjie, etc., and their family style is also quite military.
Yang Wuluo, the leader of the clan, is no exception. His reply to Murong's message was also quite meaningful:
"...If the Murong clan can't even protect a few war observers, how can you make the empire and the aristocratic families believe that you have the ability to unify the endless ocean islands? If the empire and the aristocratic families have deployed high-end forces, how can you defeat them? Does the territory still belong to your Murong clan?"
…
Murong's side was naturally in a state of turmoil.
Murong's various communication equipment and institutions in Huliang City have long been moved to Matsuo City.
Murong Chanyi, who was responsible for processing intelligence information, received information from several powerful families in the empire the next day.
This is not only a problem with the intelligence system, but also involves Murong Zizhu, the head of the Dianke Department who handles relations with the imperial family.
Both women were a little numb and did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately went to see the head of the family and interrupted the military meeting between the head of the house and a group of elders.
After learning the information, Murong Danggui, Murong Rongdong and other high-level officials immediately became confused.
Murong Danggui slapped her forehead:
"I was careless. I didn't expect those two vehicles to be able to conduct satellite communication with the empire in time..."
"Yeah, I was careless. I didn't expect that in such a remote and endless ocean, the empire's satellites can still receive and receive information. It was a mistake..."
Another elder who participated in the decision-making yesterday felt a little regretful.
"Then how should we reply to the messages from several powerful people now?"
There was also an elder who was a little worried and asked for advice.
Murong Rongdong said nothing, his face was very ugly, but he said nothing.
"Snapped!"
A violent slap sounded in the conference room.
The person who took action was another chief elder, Murong Shancang, who usually mainly assisted the family head in military matters.
They were just discussing the attack on Zuozaki Castle last night, which caused considerable losses. At the same time, they were hesitating whether to continue to let the established army go to the location discussed yesterday to raid the Takeda family's latent troops.
Are the Takeda family's troops the intruders last night?
Is it still necessary to organize an attack in that mountainous area, or to withdraw the troops that have been sent to set up an ambush between Zuozaki Castle and Okamoto Castle?
Is it necessary to withdraw the troops stationed near the strait between Sasaki Castle and Kusakahara...
Before a decision was made on this series of issues, news from the empire suddenly came.
News from the empire confirmed that the attack last night was indeed carried out by the Takeda family, and that the hostages were also taken by the Takeda family.
The elder couldn't help but be arrogant, and in a rage, he slapped the case and stood up:
"This is the consequence of your delay in rescuing yesterday! Why is it that I, Gusu Murong, have always been at the bottom of the family?
Is the empire unfair? Is it because people's hearts are old?
No, the pattern is not enough! Not strong enough!
I just love those little tricks behind the scenes! How about it, is this a slap in the face?
If you want to turn a country into a home, you don't have the spirit of upright conquest, and you just make the four great nobles and the seven great families laugh! "
Murong Danggui said nothing, with a dark face.
You have to listen to the reprimands of your elders even if they don’t make sense.
Murong Rongdong was a little unhappy:
"Shan Cang, isn't this the decision that everyone had no objection to yesterday?"
"Haha, it's ridiculous. Don't you think it's ridiculous? You, a person who has been in charge of internal affairs for a long time, often get involved in military matters and give advice. It is a ridiculous thing in itself.
Did you ask me yesterday? You all have no objections. Is it valid for me to object alone?
If I had objected yesterday, I had already imagined your mocking words. It was nothing more than my, Murong Shancang's knees lacking calcium. I had been kneeling in front of the empire for a long time and could no longer stand up!
I suggested a few days ago that owners should communicate with observers in a timely manner?
Who said we should dry them out first?
I said a few days ago that in the initial stage, I must let the empire and powerful families see my family's sincerity. As a pawn, we must not think too much and want support so quickly!
Which of you is not mocking me? "
Murong Shancang did not save any face and spoke sharply.
"Uncle Shan Cang, I was wrong. A little bit of success makes me feel that everything is under control..."
Murong Danggui immediately stood up to review.
Several other elders had no objections to the decision yesterday, but now they stood up with grim faces to review their mistakes.
Murong Shancang did not want to be too aggressive:
"I'm not asking everyone to admit their mistakes. I don't need to. It's useless. In critical times and extraordinary times, everyone works hard for the great cause of the family...
I don’t have a good idea on how to deal with it specifically, but I know that if the consequences are not handled well, the consequences will be just like what Yang Wulei said!
Therefore, we must not let the Li clan, the Wang clan, and the Yang clan each send a few top-level masters to join forces to rescue the people themselves.
If that happens, let's just go to sleep. There's no need to fight in this world! "
Murong Chanyi and Murong Zizhu didn't dare to express their anger. It was rare to see the family head and the elders so angry. The usual sense of harmony and unity in the same boat was gone.
Murong Danggui bowed her hands to Murong Shancang:
"Uncle Shan Cang is right. We are all blinded by the small victory... In the future, we must ask Uncle Shan Cang to pour cold water on us and sing the opposite tune. Otherwise, there will inevitably be more major mistakes like this."
Murong Shancang's expression brightened slightly and he nodded slightly:
"Master, don't blame yourself too much. Isn't that what we old guys should do?"
The other elders were ashamed to accept the promise, and Murong Rendong also nodded sadly.
"Elders, there is no need to feel sad. We admit that we lost to the Takeda family in this round. That guy Ryuuki Takeda must have seen our plan..."
At the same time, he turned to look at Murong Chanyi:
"Chanyi, we need to increase our assessment of the strength of the Takeda family... I remember that the original assessment of them was above the second level. Adjusting it to the middle of the first level is not an exaggeration."
Murong Chanyi nodded immediately, with a slight thought in her mind, she immediately made appropriate adjustments to the information with extremely high reading permissions through Matsuo City's "Small Barrier" system.
"Although the current situation is not an urgent war, according to our secret agreement with the Aoyuan family of Okamoto Castle, the Mikado family of Kusaka Castle, the Kato family of Tokugaka Castle, the Oe family of Mai Castle, the Ono family of Kamoto Castle, and the Abe family of Asakawa Castle, They need to provide us with some convenience.
I want the two families of Okamoto Castle and Kusanagi Castle to contact the Takeda family and tell them that we want to meet with their clan leaders. "
Murong Chanyi reminded:
"There is a small problem. The Takeda family once had this idea and proposed a plan. We rejected it, mainly because their plan was too high."
Murong Rendong added appropriate comments:
"Yes, they hope that after I, Murong, establish unification, their Takeda family will become one of the top ten families in the entire empire... This is slightly in conflict with our established plan!"
Murong Shancang nodded and touched his beard:
"However, I think that in this case, we might as well agree to it. We are just one of the top ten families.
At most, we will add several large Xia-born nobles on top of them in the future to accommodate the branches of powerful families in the empire, whose status is second only to the royal family..."
All the elders looked at each other in confusion.
It was you, Murong Shancang, who just said that you should be upright and not engage in these little tricks.
Murong Angelica smiled brightly:
"Uncle Shan Cang woke up the dreamer with his words. Our plan has not been revealed to the imperial family, it is just our internal wishful thinking.
Since the Takeda family has shown their strength and qualifications, it is natural that they must have a place among the top ten Ying clan families! "
"It makes sense. Anyway, the Ying people are second-class citizens in the Federation. With such a small population, there are nearly a hundred families... The best policy is to use the barbarians to control the barbarians. I second Shan Cang's opinion."
All the elders agreed.
In an extraordinary period, if the big problem at hand cannot be solved in time, everything will be lost. As for the future, it will not be too late to plan for the future.
Besides, as Yang Wulu said, if all the noble families in the empire mobilized their top forces, what would happen to the Murong family?
"Okay, immediately notify the Qingyuan family head of Okamoto Castle and the Nakamikado family head of Kusanagi City, and let them be responsible for coordination. Let Takeda Ryuuki meet with us. The location and number of personnel will be determined by the other party."
Murong Chanyi and Murong Zizhu nodded in agreement.
Murong Zizhu has a little question:
"What if the two family heads are surprised and confused and guess the reason?"
"You just say it's a military secret, but you can ask them to mention a sentence when coordinating, saying that there is a person who is the grandson of a certain super-level master in the empire. If you don't see him in ten days, there will be thirty top-level people. Warlock, come here, haha.”
Murong Shancang smiled strangely.
Everyone present at the meeting turned their heads and nodded.
Anyway, it's a matter of no shadow, so it's not an exaggeration to scare the other party.
