Early the next morning.
A piece of news shocked Wumei Mountain. Twelve village leaders among the seventy-two villages were assassinated, including a seventh-ranked village master.
"Unexpectedly, it was not only the village leader who was assassinated last night."
"Twelve village leaders were assassinated. This is a big change!"
"damn it!"
The atmosphere in Feiyanzhai's main hall seemed a bit solemn, but the leaders felt relieved. It seemed that Yang Che's death had nothing to do with the second master.
However, for the entire Wumei Mountain, this incident is undoubtedly a painful blow.
Tomorrow is the Heroes Conference, and today twelve major figures were assassinated.
"Have you found any useful information?"
"Brother, yesterday I found a command talisman in Qinglong Village. It came from the Royal Guards under King Lu."
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed. The second master, Lu Changshan, looked solemn and said, "Is it possible that this matter has something to do with the Lu Palace?"
"Hard to say!"
"Humph, why is it hard to say? Haven't you noticed?"
"Almost none of the village leaders who were assassinated were direct descendants of King Lu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan said: "Tomorrow is the Heroes Conference, why do they want to take action today?"
"I see."
"What a Lu Wanggong, he actually made this plan."
"Before the Heroes Conference, assassinate the non-direct lineage leaders. Tomorrow, the seats will be rearranged for the Heroes Conference, and naturally I will be able to implant my cronies."
"snort!"
"What a profound calculation!"
"Lu Yuanshan is such a despicable villain. It's useless for me to call him upright."
"Let's go to Lu Palace together to ask for an explanation."
Wu Xiao clamored to go to Lu Palace, but Ning Fan stood up suddenly: "Wait a minute."
"how?"
"Brother, you said yesterday that you wanted to find out the truth and avenge Brother Yang."
"Could it be that after taking the position of leader today, you regret it?"
Wu Xiao is a typical stubborn person who only accepts death. He doesn't care about the causes and consequences, let alone what is right or wrong. As long as he is reckless, he will be finished.
"What can you do to the Royal Palace of Lu?"
"You don't even have any evidence, how can you go to King Lu to ask for an explanation?"
"Now he is the leader of the Seventy-Two Villages in Wumei Mountain, and he is surrounded by experts."
"You are so single-handed, and you even lead my brother No. 1,200 from Feiyan Village to kill me, so what can you do?"
"Do you want to rebel against King Lu first?"
Ning Fan's words were very fierce. After saying this, Wu Xiao tilted his head and said stubbornly: "Isn't it true that I won't avenge my brother?"
"This matter cannot be finalized yet."
"It may not be the fault of King Lu's palace."
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he saw another figure rushing in from outside the palace. He bowed respectfully and said, "Report, leader of the village, all of you are in charge."
"Yesterday, Zuixian Village captured an assassin. It was found out that this person came from the Lu Palace."
"However, he was rescued early this morning."
"have a look!"
"It's clearly the Lu Palace's fault. I must go up and ask for an explanation for my eldest brother."
Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, and looking at Ning Fan with a deep awe.
Is this the lord's method?
Just one strategy directly separated Wumeishan's military morale.
"Lao Wu, don't be impulsive. Listen to what the elder brother has to say first."
Lu Changshan looked at Wu Xiao, shouted low, and then raised his hands to Ning Fan and said: "Brother, now that you have taken the position of the leader of Feiyan Village, we listen to you."
"Yes, let's listen to brother's opinion first."
"Lao Wu, what the eldest brother said is not unreasonable. Now Lu Yuanshan is the nominal leader of my Wumei Mountain."
"Besides, it wasn't just the eldest brother who was assassinated this time."
Wooden Zhuang also helped to speak. Cui Kui, the third child who had never spoken until now, suddenly said: "There is no reason for Lu Yuanshan to act like this. Now the entire Wumei Mountain respects him as King Lu."
"Even if some people are not his direct descendants, they are still willing to listen to his orders."
"Now that he is acting like this, is it possible that he doesn't know what kind of disturbance it will cause?"
"There are at least ten thousand people in my seven villages combined. Is he really not afraid?"
"That doesn't make sense!"
As soon as Cui Kui finished speaking, Ning Fan glanced at him and said softly: "Let's go check out the rumors of several other villages first."
"This matter still needs long-term consideration."
"However, we will still go to King Lu's palace tomorrow at the latest. If we want to ask for an explanation, we will ask King Lu to explain in front of the heroes tomorrow."
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he was immediately recognized by the leaders.
"Okay, in that case, just listen to the boss."
"Let's go, there are many brothers going up the mountain today, let's take a step first."
"Pick a few that can be beaten."
As soon as Mu Zhuang finished speaking, Ning Fan suddenly stood up and said, "Mu Zhuang, when I went up the mountain yesterday, I found that many brothers went up the mountain to seek refuge, but why did they only accept a few dozen in the end?"
"Brother doesn't know something!"
"Now our food and grass supply depends entirely on the Lu Palace."
"The quota he gave us cannot be exceeded, so..."
"So, everyone else went to the direct lineage of Prince Lu's Palace?"
"Exactly!"
As soon as Mu Zhuang finished speaking, Ning Fan said in a deep voice: "You go to pick up the brothers today. No matter how many come, I, Feiyan Village, will accept them all."
"Now that the intentions of the Lu Palace are unclear, our Feiyan Village is weak and must strengthen its strength. We must not let others manipulate it."
"I'll take care of the food and grass matters!"
"Even if ten thousand brothers come to seek refuge today, we must accept them all."
"promise!"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, Mu Zhuang left with excitement on his face, and Wu Xiao followed his footsteps.
Lu Changshan and Cui Kui looked at each other worriedly, then looked at Ning Fan: "Brother, will acting like this cause dissatisfaction in the Lu Palace?"
"so what?"
"We respect him as King Lu, but we are not his servants."
"To put it bluntly, Lu Yuanshan is just the son of a merchant family."
"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he looked at Dian Wei beside him: "Send a message to my family and ask him to send some food, grass, and silver."
"promise!"
"Xu Chu, from today on, you will be the chief instructor of Feiyan Village and will do your best to manage the troops!"
"yes!"
After hearing Ning Fan's words, Lu Changshan and Cui Kui both bowed deeply, with a look of admiration on their faces.
…
Lu Palace.
More than ten thousand people were mobilized and it took several months to build this palace on the top of the mountains.
The area is not large, nor is it very luxurious, but it is very majestic and majestic.
A young man in rich clothes sat on a golden chair with a gloomy expression.
"Have you checked it out?"
"Your Majesty, there are indeed 12 people in my Royal Guards who are missing."
"Asshole!"
Lu Yuanshan suddenly became furious and shouted angrily: "The Royal Guards are my direct descendants, how could they betray Gu?"
