Duan Qian thought things too simply. He thought that since he was the uncle of the Li family, the Li family would help the Duan family without hesitation. Little did he know that the Li family also had its own plans and interests.
The Duan family lives in a corner and has been developing in the mountain city. In the past few years, they have thought about entering Shuzhou and using the Li family's connections to bring Shuzhou into their arms, so that the Duan family's status in the mountain city and Shuzhou will not be shaken.
But Duan Qian's structure is still too small. Shuzhou is the largest state in the west, and the interests are too complicated. He thinks how is it possible for one family to be the only one? No one will see him being the only one, even without Su. If one family fights back, other families will fight back in the future.
The most important goal of the Li family now is to continue to block Su Qin. Su Qin has the Lin family and the Zhao family of Xishu. He probably has the same idea as Duan Qian, and wants to covertly cover up Shuzhou. Unfortunately, the Li family will not let him succeed.
Now that the Duan family has ideas about Shuzhou, let the Duan family block Su Qin on behalf of the Li family. After the blockage is successful, they will share the cake with the Duan family. Naturally, the Li family will take the big head and the Duan family will take the small head. Not only that, but also The Duan family must be allowed to take out the interests of Shancheng. Otherwise, why would the Li family give so many resources to the Duan family?
Don't these resources require money? Don't these resources require human relationships? It's impossible for the Duan family to use prostitution for nothing.
Although Duan Qian married Li Mingyue, the Duan family is the Duan family and the Li family is the Li family. The two families do not live the same life. When the interests of the family are really involved, the Li brothers and Duan Gan are very easy to deal with. It's just because of my sister's face that I'll give him some benefits.
It doesn’t mean that if you, Duan Qian, marry our sister, you will wear the same pair of trousers as our Li family. That pair of trousers has two separate legs.
After the dinner, Li Zhentang took his son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law back to their respective homes. Li Zhenzu's son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law all stayed behind, chatting with his aunt and uncle until very late. Li Zhenzu never talked to Duan Gan again.
After washing up and lying on the bed at night, Li Mingyue couldn't help but ask: "Husband, how was your chat with my eldest brother, second brother and the others?"
Duan Qian felt aggrieved when he mentioned what had happened just now, but what could he do? One of them was the head of the Li family and the other was the second master of the Li family. If he were not Li Mingyue's husband, these two bosses would not care about him at all. who is it.
Duan Qianchang sighed and said: "The relationship between your eldest brother and your second brother is still a bit tense. You are back this time. I guess they haven't had much contact recently. I just mentioned Cheng Feng's matter, and they treated me... The attitude is very tough.”
Li Mingyue said with some confusion: "Why did you mention Cheng Feng's matter? Cheng Feng's matter has made the family already in a mess. Aren't you adding trouble to them and adding salt to my second brother's wound?"
Li Mingyue complained so much that Duan Qian was also a little angry. He snorted coldly: "You think I want to mention Cheng Feng's matter? You think I have no brains. I don't know what the situation is now, but I can't help it if I don't mention it, because killing Duan The real murderer behind Kun and the murderer behind Cheng Feng is the same person, Su Qin, the eldest son of the Su family."
Li Mingyue was shocked when she heard the news: "What did you say? Those who killed Duan Kun and Chengfeng were both Su Qin, the eldest young master of the Su family. How is this possible?"
Duan Qian sneered: "How is it impossible? If I didn't find out clearly, would I dare to say it? It is because the Li family is involved that I sent you back to Beijing. The Su family is now targeting the Li family everywhere. Your eldest brother and second brother are very Obviously we have not reached an agreement on retribution to the Su family. Now that the Su family has taken action in Shuzhou again, our Duan family now has to face the Su family, so I can only come back to discuss countermeasures with them."
Li Mingyue listened confused and said, "What's going on? Aren't we dealing with the Lin family of Xishu? Why are we related to the Su family again?"
Duan Qian could only explain: "The girlfriend of the eldest young master of the Su family is named Lin Xi. This Lin Xi is the only daughter of Mr. Lin's granddaughter Lin Wang, so the Su family has already stepped in to help the Lin family. Otherwise, how could I have been delayed in Shuzhou for so long?"
Li Mingyue was very annoyed and said: "Why is this eldest son of the Su family so haunted? He is too unscrupulous. He does not take our Li family seriously at all."
Duan Qian deliberately said: "There is no way, who made the Su family prosperous now, let alone the Duan family, I think even the Li family doesn't care.
"
Li Mingyue was indeed very angry after hearing this. In her mind, the Li family was something no one dared to provoke. No one was the Li family's opponent. Now that the Su family was targeting the Li family everywhere, could she, the Li family's princess, not be angry?
Li Mingyue gritted her teeth and said: "Husband, don't worry. I will convince the eldest and second brothers. Even if they don't agree to help, I will tell those uncles. It is absolutely impossible to just let this matter go. I will definitely This eldest young master of the Su family must pay the price."
Li Mingyue did this not only for the sake of the Li family, but also for the sake of the Duan family. Her words in the Li family still have some weight. After all, she was once the apple of the eye of the old man of the Li family.
Duan Qian seemed to be comforting and said: "Your eldest and second brothers have already planned to help. They just said that they would hold a family meeting to determine strategies on how to help the Duan family, how to deal with the Li family, and when to take action. We also need to have a detailed plan. .”
Li Mingyue said loudly: "Although I married into the Duan family, I am also the daughter of the Li family. I am also qualified to participate in this family meeting. When the time comes, I will give our Duan family a strong argument. Don't worry, husband."
Hearing Li Mingyue's words, Duan Qian's goal was achieved. She wanted to make Li Mingyue a favor and let the Li family make a decision as quickly as possible. Of course, Li Mingyue would think about the Duan family.
In the early morning, after Li Mingyue and Duan Qian got up, the Li family's nannies and servants helped them wash up and eat. In the restaurant, they met Li Zhenzu's wife Tang Shuyi. This elegant and luxurious woman was a standard housewife, but she was born in politics. From the aristocratic family, everyone from her grandfather to her father, uncle, and now her brother are in high positions. She has brought a lot of political resources to the Li family.
In addition, there were several nephews and nieces who accompanied Li Mingyue and Duan Qian to eat in the restaurant. They were chatting and laughing, making the Li family once again full of human touch after being deserted for a long time.
Tang Shuyi couldn't help but ask: "Little sister, what are your plans with your brother-in-law today? If you want to go out for a walk, I just have nothing to do and can accompany you. Your elder brother got up and went out."
Li Mingyue said thoughtfully: "Sister-in-law, we won't bother you. I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. I just wanted to see those uncles. Logically, I should come here during the Chinese New Year. I haven't been delayed until now." "
Tang Shuyi nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I won't accompany you. You can make your own arrangements."
Li Mingyue chuckled and said: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to be so polite between us. We will be back very late, so you don't have to wait for us."
Li Mingyue said yesterday that he would fight for resources for the Duan family, so today he must go out and cry to these uncles. Only then can he win more benefits for the Duan family at the family meeting.
What I have to say is that Li Mingyue really cares about the Duan family. Of course, all this is because she loves Duan Qian deeply. Who makes her a love-minded woman?
When Li Mingyue was taking Duan Qian out for a walk, the eldest son of the Li family, Li Zhenzu, and the second master of the Li family, Li Zhentang, were discussing Shuzhou's countermeasures with their confidants. Although Duan Qian had been promised to help, the question was how to help and when. The most important thing is to understand the purpose of the Su family.
Because Li Mingyue and Duan Qian were at home, Li Zhenzu did not meet them at the old house. Instead, he chose to climb the nearest Xishan Mountain. There was a pavilion halfway up the mountain. By the time he got here, Nangong and Wenwen had already arrived.
Li Zhenzu directly repeated everything Duan Qian said, and then said: "What do you think we should do next?"
"This eldest young master of the Su family really doesn't stop. The situation inside the Su family is like this now. He is still making such a big noise outside. There is no way to change the situation in the northwest. Why did he go to Shuzhou again? Have you gone?" Wen Wen said with some confusion.
Nangong also frowned and said, "Yes, shouldn't he pay more attention to the personnel changes in the Su family group now? What's the use of going to Shuzhou?"
Wen Wen analyzed: "Did he just want to help his girlfriend's Lin family? But he also used the Zhao family's connections, which is a bit intriguing."
Nangong said in a deep voice: "I don't think it's that simple. I'm sure his target is the entire Shuzhou."
"No way, he
His ambition is so big, can he survive in Shuzhou? Wen Wen asked, although there are no powerful families in Shuzhou, all the major families have their presence in Shuzhou.
Nangong said thoughtfully: "Then now think about why the Zhao family also ended up. If the Su family and the Zhao family secretly reached an agreement to divide Shuzhou, the Su family has the white gloves of the Lin family, and the Zhao family has the West." The Shu Zhao family is a white glove, can’t the two sides join forces?”
Nangong continued: "And I always feel that it's not that simple. What Su Qin did was not the strategic direction of the Su family, but was entirely to expand his own strength. Obviously he was worried about the worst outcome, so he wanted to let himself go first Have the ability to protect yourself.”
After hearing this, Wen Wen's face changed slightly and he said, "What Nangong said makes sense. This explanation of his behavior is somewhat reasonable. The northwest is almost in his possession, and Shuzhou has begun to make plans again. Maybe As long as there is no civil strife in the Su family, he can continue to expand his strength. Once there is civil strife in the Su family, he will have the ability to protect himself at home and compete with other branches of the Su family. In addition, the Su family's overseas influence, this is Su Qin's overall The strength is not weak anymore.”
After analysis by the two think tanks, Li Zhenzu said in a deep voice: "I understand what you said, so what should we do next?"
Nangong said without hesitation: "We must stop Su Qin's purpose, otherwise it will definitely be troublesome for us. The northwest side must block it, and the Shuzhou side must also increase its efforts to prevent his purpose from succeeding."
Wen Wen also emphasized his tone: "We must stop him. Su Qin's purpose is already obvious. We can't let him expand his strength. If the Su family's branches don't dare to take action now, then it's only us. Not only must we help the Duan family , and a decision must be made immediately.”
Nangong frowned and said, "Besides, there are three things we have to do. The first thing is to send people to keep an eye on Su Qin in the future. We have to figure out the purpose of every move he makes. The second thing is to send people to keep an eye on Su Qin. The first thing is that the Zhao family has come out to take a stand, so we can get other families to take action. Anyway, the enemies of the Su family are not just ours. The third thing is that the Kunlun Society must reach an agreement as soon as possible on what strategy it will use against Su Qin. , if you want to win over the Kunlun Society, then take action as soon as possible. If Su Qin refuses, we must take action against Mr. Su as soon as possible. The sooner, the more powerful he will be for us."
Wen Wen also echoed: "There are three things in priority. The third thing is the most important. Once the third thing is determined, the second thing can be done. The first thing is the easiest."
Li Zhenzu said meaningfully: "I understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, we must clarify our attitude towards the Su family as soon as possible and at the same time take action. Now the pressure from the second brother is already great enough. If Bian takes action in advance, we will be at a disadvantage."
Nangong and Wen Wen looked at each other and said, "The patriarch is right, we must take the initiative to make a decision as soon as possible, instead of letting the second master force us to move forward, and the second master's side is really too busy during this period. It’s quiet, I feel something is wrong, they must be plotting something.”
Li Zhenzu said worriedly: "Find a way to check?"
"Second Master controls the shadows. We should be careful not to be discovered, otherwise the conflict will only continue with the plan." Wen Wen said.
Li Zhenzu was a little annoyed. He finally said helplessly: "I have been anxious about the Kunlun Conference's impromptu meeting recently. This time, everyone must express their position. Stop being ambiguous."
While Li Zhenzu was talking about these things with his two confidant military advisors, Second Master Li was also talking about this matter with military advisor Chen Anbang, and Second Master Li had finished what needed to be said.
After thinking for half an hour, Chen Anbang said: "Second Master, I think the boss is more anxious than us now. If other branches of the family know about this matter, it will only put more pressure on the boss. He has always been against us. The Su family's policy of appeasement has already failed in Longzhou, Xinzhou and Qingzhou don't know the outcome, and now it's Shuzhou's turn. If this continues, a young master from the Su family will take over the entire west."
"So you think the boss will definitely agree to help, right?" Mr. Li said with interest.
What he said yesterday was just for the occasion. Whether he helped or not is another question. Besides, his target was not Su Qin, but the old man of the Su family.
The Su family can only be disrupted if the old man of the Su family dies. Otherwise, what they do is meaningless, so Mr. Li doesn't dare to be interested at all.
Chen Anbang said with a smile: "I will definitely help, and I will be very anxious. I guess I will discuss it with you soon."
"Then how do you think I should respond?" Mr. Li asked.
Chen Anbang said unhurriedly: "We will definitely agree to help, but the revenge must be stronger, and the initiative must be controlled in our hands, so that it is beneficial to us."
Speaking of this, Chen Anbang paused for a few seconds and continued: "Of course, none of this is important to us. We just need to hide the truth and let the boss trust us. We will secretly target the old man of the Su family. Otherwise, we will remain indifferent and others will be suspicious. our."
"What you said makes sense, I know what to do." Mr. Li laughed and said,
The boss will definitely help, and he will definitely take action. It would be wrong if he doesn't take action. After all, he wants to avenge Cheng Feng.
It's just that these are not their goals. These are completely out of their sight. If they want to do it, they have to do something big and poke a hole in the world at once.
After a while, Mr. Li asked: "Are there any results overseas?"
"There are already eyebrows raised. They are currently discussing plans, but the amount may need to be increased. The time is not yet certain. We will be informed of the details when the time comes. We will give a time frame and they will choose opportunities within this time frame." Chen Anbang details explained.
After hearing this, Mr. Li was satisfied. He was not in a hurry now, as long as he was ready, he could take action at any time.
"Okay, money is not a problem. I have already prepared it. It will be absolutely clean and the source cannot be traced. It depends on whether they can do it." Mr. Li said confidently.
Chen Anbang replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Second, these are the top three killer groups in the world. If they can't do it, there are really not many people who can do it."
At this time, Mr. Li suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, there is also the matter that I told you last time. How are you doing now?"
Chen Anbang knew what Mr. Li was talking about and said meaningfully: "I have arranged for an intermediary to contact the Lingnan Su family. They have penetrated into the Lingnan Su family and are testing the Lingnan Su family's ideas. I suspect that they are also doing this. The worst-case scenario is whether we will cooperate with them or go our separate ways."
Mr. Li said bluntly: "If it were me and I chose to do my own thing, why would I save the money? When Mr. Su dies, all the assets of the Su family will be in our pocket. Under double insurance, I don’t believe how lucky Mr. Su is?”
"Okay, then I'll just let them stare." Chen Anbang nodded silently and said.
Mr. Li did not forget to warn him in the end: "Remember, don't reveal your identity when you go there. Don't tell us unless you have to."
"Don't worry, Second Master, I know what to do." Chen Anbang said confidently.
After talking about these things, Chen Anbang left Mr. Li's manor. At the same time, Li Mingyue and Duan Qian were lobbying at the house of his uncle. Li Mingyue didn't make it too clear. He just talked about Li Chengfeng's death and his brother-in-law's death. The death was all caused by Su Qin, and this incident was enough to make these collateral groups explode.
At this time, Duan Qian will cooperate and tell the Su family's current actions in Shuzhou, saying very directly that the Su family has a purpose for Shuzhou and wants to take Shuzhou as its own. Many of these branches are in Shuzhou. There are assets, and with the relationship between the Su family and the Li family, they will not be squeezed by then, so they immediately became anxious.
So when Li Mingyue and Duan Qian ran away from the big bosses of the collateral clan in Beijing in one day, the entire Li family was already filled with indignation. Before Li Zhenzu took the initiative to convene a family meeting, the major collateral clans called Li Zhenzu and Li Zhentang to ask what happened. What, should we just let the Su family ride on the Li family’s necks and pee?
Li Zhenzu really didn't expect that everyone would know about it so soon. He was somewhat annoyed with Duan Qian, but his sister couldn't teach him a lesson. In the end, Li Zhenzu had no choice but to convene a family meeting of the Li family in advance, and Li Mingyue naturally Attended.
