The army, which came to massacre the city with great momentum, lay down collectively before entering the city. The military doctors had nothing to do. There was no place for so many people to stay, so they could only set up tents in the wild and ask them to rest where they were.
There were only a dozen people in the entire team who did not have dinner for various reasons. They became the main labor force and were no longer an armed force.
The spies sent by the general also survived, but unfortunately there were only five of them in total. It was unrealistic to send them to continue massacring the city.
After they lay down, Yun Zhou quietly sneaked into the military camp and met with the leader.
I didn't go with him, I believed he could handle it.
There is no airtight wall in the world. I have a way to find out the news, and so do others.
The news of the death of the clan leader was discovered by more than one person.
There are many people of unknown origins mixed into Sun City.
So I have to stay in the city to prevent widespread riots.
Among the people who sneaked into the city, there were also 'teams' from overseas, including soldiers from the Jinyu Kingdom.
It was obvious who they came to help. The people who gathered in Sun City to prepare for the treasure hunt also noticed that something was wrong outside the city.
I was more cautious and secretly evaded the city, fearing that I would be a troubled fish.
Dark clouds hung over Sun City, and for half a month, everyone felt invisible pressure, as if something 'big' was coming.
More and more killers are sent to Treasure Island, but no one can break through the white fur ball's biological shield.
They were heading towards Yunzhou, and only a dead Yunzhou could truly reassure the competitors.
The people who want to take over the position of patriarch are not only his brothers, but also their uncles.
There have been twists and turns in the past when clan leaders were replaced, but it was never like this for someone to blatantly compete for a position.
I used my former boss's ace spy to find out the supporters behind these people.
Each of them has a 'sponsor', and they do not have the strength to go to Sun City to seize power based on their personal wishes alone.
Sure enough, there is someone funding behind the scenes, so the confidence is different.
Those who sponsor them simply want to support a puppet to come to power and truly control Sun City and even the wealth code of the Xi clan.
I found out the people behind them and made preparations in advance. There should be no chaos in Sun City, and the change of power was best done secretly.
I cannot control so many forces with my own strength.
However, Yunzhou has already made arrangements, and we are not fighting alone.
If someone supports his brother, someone will naturally support him.
It's just that I didn't bring it to the surface in the past, and I always kept going back and forth secretly.
The news that the clan leader was dead soon spread.
Who will take his place is the question that everyone is most concerned about.
As for how he died, not many people in the clan were curious.
However, the people in the city and passing merchants were more curious.
They are not within the Xi clan's power circle, and whoever becomes the next clan leader will have little impact on their lives.
Because generations of patriarchs have done the same thing.
Xiqing is the eldest son, and there are many people who support his succession.
This matter is not only about Sun City, Sun City is only the part of the iceberg on the sea.
They, the Arturo clan, also have an underground industry.
Yunzhou came back just in time. Xixuan's mother took out the will that the patriarch had made before his death, and announced together with the important officials of the clan who supported them that Xixuan would inherit the position of patriarch.
People from Xiqing's faction are not convinced, and there are other brothers who are taking sides.
They first canvassed votes, that is, looking at the approval ratings of important ministers and dignitaries within the clan.
The canvassing process starts from the moment they are born.
What the results of years of hard work will be depends on the last battle.
There is a main hall underground in Xiyuan. Discussing the inheritance of the clan leader will involve clan secrets, so we have to enter the underground hall to discuss.
They did not wait for Yunzhou, but only strengthened the guards at the gates entering the city, sent killers to ambush nearby, and ordered that anyone who saw Yunzhou and me should be killed.
It means we are not allowed to enter the city, but we are already in the city.
Yunzhou walked into Xiyuan under my escort, and no one could stop us along the way.
Whoever comes close will fall to the ground. No matter how dark or bright the enemy is, they can't get close to us.
Yunzhou knows the location of the underground hall, and the guards can't stop us.
On such an important day, all the civil and military officials of the Arturo clan were present.
The allies who had been hiding in the dark before saw Yun Zhou appear, and they also stood up and expressed their attitude.
Xixuan's mother was so angry that she gritted her teeth when she saw Yun Zhou. They sent many killers but could not take Yun Zhou's life.
Several young masters have mothers who support their sons. Their natal families are quite powerful, and their natal brothers are also standing in the main hall.
Yunzhou does not have the support of the inner court, but he also has a will!
"It's impossible. You have mediocre qualifications and have been useless since you were a child. It's impossible for the patriarch to appoint you as Tai——"
"Sister, we all recognize the handwriting of the patriarch. The elders and ministers of the clan also read it just now. It is indeed written by the patriarch. This will... cannot be faked."
"The clan leader must be sick and confused. To appoint a successor, he must either be the chief or the idler. Jiye doesn't do either, so why should he be appointed?"
When Yunzhou arrived, he brought out the bombshell of a will, causing several ladies to scramble to speak.
"There is no will. The patriarch is seriously ill and unconscious. I think the will should be invalidated. Whoever has the strength will be the heir."
The controversy surrounding the will was already within Yun Zhou's expectation.
He told me that the people who presented the will would not recognize it and would eventually take action.
Sure enough, as he said, in the end of the argument, those who did not have a will all agreed to invalidate the will.
There were only two people in the palace holding the will, so naturally the minority obeyed the majority.
Under the temptation of power, any rules can be broken.
All parties began to show their cards, as if competing at the card table.
I never ask about the details of what Yunzhou does. Today is the first time I know that he secretly controls so many people and things.
However, he predicted early on that even showing his trump card would not work, and he would have to retreat after being polite.
Sure enough, seeing that the situation was not good, several forces wanted them to quietly mobilize armed forces into the city to break into Xiyuan and kill their competitors.
Xiyuan had already been infiltrated into a sieve by them, and people from several parties acted together, making the scene very chaotic.
"Kill Jiye first!" Xixuan's mother suddenly shouted.
A large number of people armed with weapons poured into the underground hall. They were highly skilled in martial arts and fought hard for their masters.
I don't care about others, I only use the air shield to protect Yun Zhou and me.
Despite the lady's orders, the killers had difficulty completing their mission.
When they kill others, they can still get through a few moves, compete with each other, and decide life or death.
When we come here, if the sword strikes, it will be blocked by the invisible force. Even if it strikes for a long time, it cannot break through the barrier.
They can't cut down the two of us, they can only change the target, and they can't waste all their time on us.
Several forces were fighting in the main hall. Someone threatened everyone to stop, otherwise his people would set fire to the city, including Xi's merchant ship, and burn it to the ground.
Yun Zhou took out two tokens and shook them to tell the man to see them clearly.
"Your people have already obeyed my command."
