The night is endless, but there are so many people who stay awake at night.
Yang Ning, Feng Xing and Chi Lian are just a small shadow among them.
In Lieyuan City, there are many sleepless people tonight, and there are also many important ones.
Qiu He came to Dong's house.
The Dong family is one of the largest families in Lieyuan City, and one of the families that can influence the direction of Lieyuan City.
And Qiu He came here tonight to negotiate with the family forces in Lieyuan City and make a plan to change the situation.
In the Jiujiang Dynasty, all the power is centered on the dynasty, and the core of the Jiujiang Dynasty is to expand territory.
Lieyuancheng, which is on the border, pays even more attention to this point.
But the bustling world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.
Interests will exist wherever there are people.
This is especially true for the Jiujiang Dynasty.
If the City Lord's Mansion represents the Jiujiang Dynasty, then what these family forces did was to betray the Jiujiang Dynasty. This behavior has a more popular term, betrayal.
Qiu He and these family forces are betraying.
The consequences of betraying the Jiujiang Dynasty will definitely be very serious.
However, in Lieyuan City, in this important border town, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so everything can only rely on integrity.
When Qiu He came to the Dong family, there were already many people waiting for him. It was not that this meeting would not be possible without Qiu He, but after all, Qiu He belonged to the city lord's palace on the surface, and secretly served the family forces in Lieyuan City. Of course, this was the case. The person also has a name, the traitor.
Qiu He was a traitor, a traitor who was bribed by the forces of the Lieyuancheng family, and a traitor who was bribed by the He family, one of the four major families outside the Jiujiang Dynasty.
The use of a traitor's performance is often crucial, so tonight's meeting cannot be without Qiu He.
With the arrival of Qiu He, the family heads in the main hall of the Dong family stood up one after another and greeted Qiu He.
"Everyone is here." Qiu He raised his fist, and after a lot of noise, the main hall gradually became quiet.
The first person to speak was the head of the Dong family, because he was the host tonight.
"Commander Qiu, please tell everyone what we discussed last time."
Qiu He nodded slightly and said: "I believe that all the family heads also know the situation of Lieyuan City. In order to expand the territory of the Jiujiang Dynasty, the people of Lieyuan City are already in dire straits."
"Yes, taxes have become heavier and heavier in recent years."
Qiu He was very satisfied and said: "Lieyuan City is an important border town, and the taxes should be very light. However, in recent years, in order to expand the territory of the Jiujiang Dynasty, the taxes have become heavier and heavier. I believe everyone here understands this."
"But all the family heads also know that besides the Jiujiang Dynasty, there are four major families. Although the strength of these four major families is slightly inferior to that of the Jiujiang Dynasty, the He family has already offered us the best conditions. , Lieyuan City is autonomous."
"I believe this. All the masters have heard about it, but the autonomy of Lieyuan City still requires one biggest condition, that is, Lieyuan City must be owned by the He family."
"Commander Qiu, I think everyone who is doing this is very clear. You should tell me how to target the city lord's mansion." The person who spoke was the head of another big family in Lieyuan City, named Chang Zheng.
"Chang Family Master, please take your time and let Commander Qiu continue talking." Dong Family Master said.
Chang Zheng was unclear, but on the surface, he had no objection and said: "Commander Qiu, you continue."
Qiu He apologized and continued: "The He family, the condition offered to us is that 10% of the fiscal revenue of Lieyuan City for a year will go to the He family, and we will distribute the rest ourselves."
"So good?" Chang Zheng felt that he had heard wrongly.
"But one thing is, we have to control ourselves."
"His grandma did it..." The head of the Hou family had a hot temper and jumped up. Compared to the Jiujiang Dynasty, the conditions of the He family were obviously more attractive.
More than a dozen family heads stared at Hou Ding. Although they did not react as strongly as Hou Ding, as Hou Ding said, under such conditions, they can do it.
Qiu He stared at the family heads, very satisfied, and wanted this result.
"Family heads, please be patient."
Qiu He calmed down the commotion with his words, glanced at everyone, and said: "So, we can now be said to be openly rebellious, but there is one thing that I, Qiu He, want to make clear to you here."
"Commander Qiu, please tell me," the head of the Dong family said.
"On our path, no one is allowed to quit midway, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, Commander Qiu. If there is anyone who doesn't open his eyes, all the families in Lieyuan City will unite to attack him." The head of the Dong family did not hesitate and directly assured Qiu He.
"Okay." Qiu He nodded.
Qiu He continued: "The strong men of the He family will arrive in Lieyuan City in two days, so we must do something in these two days, otherwise the He family may be disappointed with us..."
Qiu He said, raising his eyes and looking around.
Every household was lost in thought.
Qiu He could only continue: "A formation master has appeared in the city. I believe you have heard about it, right?" Qiu He looked at the heads of the Ma family and the Zhong family.
The two nodded.
Some of the surrounding family owners also expressed that it was indeed true.
"I got the news two days ago that Chi Lian has been in contact with this formation master."
"What?" Zhong Pan said in surprise.
"Master Zhong, I think you have the most say in this matter. Please tell everyone." Qiu He said.
Zhong Pan felt a little bitter for a while. Regarding this formation master, he was miserable. However, as Qiu He spoke, more than a dozen family heads in the main hall looked at him, so Zhong Pan could only speak.
"This formation master has mediocre cultivation, but his formation skills are indeed magical. My Zhong family has been miserable during this period. I only regret that I hesitated and did not keep him."
"So, this formation master cannot be kept." Qiu He said.
"Also, a sword cultivator recently appeared in the city. This person is very mysterious. Apart from killing three of my detectives, I have only found traces of him in the Black Fist Market. But unfortunately, he escaped. ”
"Is he from the city lord?" asked the head of the Dong family.
"I don't know." Qiu He shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. The most important thing now is this formation master. If he is allowed to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion, it will be really bad." Chang Zheng said.
Regarding the Zhong family, it is no longer a secret in Lieyuan City, and Chang Zheng naturally knows it.
"Tomorrow night, we will take action to kill him." The head of the Dong family said.
Zhong Pan opened his mouth and said, "We want to kill him, I'm afraid..."
"Master Zhong, are you scared?" Hou Ding said.
"That's it, what are you afraid of? A formation makes you so afraid?"
…
In the midst of the chatter, Zhong Pan no longer dared to speak. Although he could be here, his status was different.
"In that case, let's kill the formation master tomorrow night first, and then attack the city lord's palace." Qiu He set the tripod, and then the next step is the plan.
In the eyes of these people, killing Yang Ning naturally does not require planning, but attacking the city lord's mansion requires planning.
There may not be many powerful people in the City Lord's Mansion, but they are definitely not easy to mess with. Otherwise, these family forces have long replaced them over the years, so why would there be any need to unite with the He family?
"I have the defense map of the City Lord's Mansion here." Qiu He was not polite and took it out directly.
A defense map belonging to the city lord's palace was displayed in front of everyone.
"Although the city lord's palace is very tightly guarded, one thing is that we are attacking the city lord's palace. As long as Lianti gets the news, support will definitely come."
Qiu He said, pointing to the street on the Lieyuan City defense map.
"Here's the gist."
Although Qiu He does not have the prestige of a warrior like Lian Ti, there is one thing that is the same as Lian Ti, and that is his keen sense of smell.
At this moment, Qiu He was pointing to the place where Lianti must reach if he wanted to support the city lord's palace.
"Therefore, two or three family forces need to go here to block Lianti's support." Qiu He looked at the dozen or so family heads.
Blocking Lianti is a difficult task. General Lianti is famous not because of his terrifying personal combat power, but because he has a team under Lianti.
And this team is the key to Lianti's reputation in Lieyuan City and even the entire Jiujiang Dynasty.
Thousands of men in silver armor.
Silver Armor Army.
Thousands of men in silver armor are also the most important force guarding the border of Lieyuan City.
However, if we want to stop the Thousand-Man Silver Armor team, can we really succeed with the strength of two or three families?
The heads of all family forces fell into deep thought.
It's not difficult to stop Lianti, but with a thousand men in silver armor, which family would be their opponent?
The answer is very clear in everyone's heart.
However, this is what they must do if they want to succeed and get rid of the rule of the Jiujiang Dynasty.
Refining Ti is a difficulty they must pass.
"Master Dong?"
The head of the Dong family seems to have traveled far and wide.
"Master Chang?"
…
Qiu He asked several family heads in series, and this was the case.
Qiu He's heart felt cold.
"Can we succeed if you do this?" Qiu He asked.
"Since you don't want to sacrifice your family's power, then each family must send some people to block Lianti's thousand-man silver armor here, at least to prevent him from rushing to help in a short period of time."
"I think all the masters should be able to do this, right?" Qiu He asked.
The method Qiu He mentioned is indeed very suitable for everyone.
Each of these people here is doing it for their own family, but by nature, everyone is very selfish. How can they be willing to sacrifice their own family?
Qiu He's method at this moment is undoubtedly the best.
So it was approved very quickly.
"Then the next step is the City Lord's Mansion." Qiu He said.
This is the highlight of the night.
So every family head began to focus, and everyone's eyes began to stare at the defense map belonging to the city lord's palace.
The City Lord's Mansion is actually very simple, with only five entrances and five exits. The first two entrances are within the scope of the City Lord's activities, while the last three are the defense force of the entire City Lord's Mansion.
The defense of the city lord's palace is naturally one of the best in the entire Lieyuan City. It is naturally difficult for any family to break through with the power of their respective families, but it is completely different if the family forces of the entire Lieyuan City join forces.
"However, there is one thing I must remind you, that is, you must keep an eye on the City Lord's Mansion in the past two days, and you must not let that formation master enter the City Lord's Mansion." Qiu He said.
"Especially tomorrow."
"Okay." Regarding this point, these family forces agreed readily.
"After tomorrow night, everything will be a foregone conclusion." Qiu He's eyes were shining with light, because the He family had promised him that as long as he helped take down Lieyuan City, he would be the city lord of Lieyuan City.
This is a very tempting condition, and for Qiu He, it is unparalleled, so Qiu He does his best for the sake of the entire Lieyuan City.
"However, I'm afraid it's difficult to enter the Cai Cai Pavilion." Zhong Pan understands this deeply.
"Tomorrow, some of our network city's formation masters will strive to kill that so-called formation master tomorrow night." Qiu He said.
Everyone nodded.
The silent night quickly fell into silence as everyone left.
But Qiu He stayed.
Because he still has some things to discuss with the head of the Dong family.
The two plotted all night, and finally at dawn, Qiu He walked out of Dong's house.
