When he returned home, Wang Chongming's face showed no joy. He is honest but not stupid, and he has smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy.
More importantly, he had a hundred brothers who believed in him and would not do such mindless things.
"Rebellion? Restart is neither a fool nor a lunatic. He would never do such a thing as annihilate an entire family."
However, now he was really captured by people from the capital. After thinking about it, the only possibility was that he was someone else's scapegoat.
"Dad, I think what you said in the Xu family just now...is very inappropriate." Wang Yutang stood behind his father and said with a worried look on his face, "Our Wang family...didn't make it to the end. Take one step forward, never make a desperate move or take risks!"
He had always been docile and polite, but this was the first time he pointed out his father's faults to his face.
Wang Chongming raised his head but did not answer.
"Dad, things may not be turning around for the second uncle. I think, whether it's to save the second uncle or to save the Wang family, we have to rely on ourselves!" Seeing that his father did not answer, Wang Yutang took two steps forward and his voice became louder. Points, "Xu family..."
"Yutang, you have grown up." Wang Chongming interrupted him, turned around again, and said with a wry smile, "My child, many things are not as simple as you think. You are still young, so don't get involved in these things first. Just come in and practice your martial arts. Don't worry, although dad is old, he is not confused. I have my own reasons for doing this. "
He has known the Xu brothers for thirty or forty years, and although he dare not say that he knows them thoroughly, he knows much more than others.
"Alas, Xu Xiaoyu has been living in seclusion for these years, and his whereabouts are erratic. It turns out that he is planning such a big event. Xu family...Xu family, how can you not be satisfied! Restart, you are really unjust. You are incompetent for your brother. , I’m afraid I can’t save you. But as for your lineage, my brother will protect it for you no matter what! My ancestors and clans are on top, please protect the Wang family from this disaster safely!”
When Wang Yutang saw his father clasping his hands and closing his eyes for a long time without saying a word, he was obviously in great embarrassment and couldn't help but mourn.
"Dad, please leave my child."
"Go. Go and see your aunt and Yu'an. They must be anxious." Wang Chongming sighed softly, "Tell them that the Xu family has promised to mediate with all their strength, and everything will be fine."
...
After Wang Chongming and his son left, the three Xu brothers did not disperse, but sat together and drank tea.
"I think Chongming seems to have noticed something." Xu Xiaoyi put down the teacup and addressed his elder brother seriously.
He is the uncle of the Wang family, so naturally he is closer to the Wang family than the two of them, and he knows a lot about his brother-in-law.
Xu Xiaoyu nodded, shook his head, and sighed: "As the head of the family, there are indeed many things that you can't help but do, and this time it's hard for him. He obviously knows the stakes, and since he chose not to tell us everything, we will Let’s pretend he doesn’t know about it. However, since the matter is serious, we still have to be on guard and have people keep an eye on it, and don’t let anyone from the Wang family leave Ruozhou City.”
There were dozens of intermarriages between the two families. Once something happened to the Xu family, the Wang family would also suffer. Therefore, Xu Xiaoyu concluded that no matter how angry Wang Chongming was, he would have no choice but to board the ship of the Xu family. Wherever the Xu family went, the Wang family would follow.
Of course, once on the boat, you have to paddle with the person at the helm, so the chance of the boat capsizing is less.
"There are so many divine sentry camps stationed outside the city. They must be here to attack the emperor. Things may change over time. Brother, do you want to try to send the emperor out of the city?" Xu Xiaoshi asked with a frown.
Now that the army stationed in the military camp is not in the hands of the Wang family, his confidence is obviously not as strong as before.
Indeed, if the Shenshao camp searches the city and finds Duanmu Yu, the people from the Xu family alone may not be able to protect him.
"Let's not speculate on the emperor's thoughts. He has his own ideas about whether to stay or go." Xu Xiaoyu looked unhappy and scolded in a low voice.
Xu Xiaoshi said "yes" and did not dare to argue.
"How many of our people have been called back?" Xu Xiaoyu asked with a frown.
Xu Xiaoyi wanted to preside over the affairs of the alliance. These days, Xu Xiaoyu always asked Xu Xiaoshi to do things for him.
"Everyone in Ruozhou City has been summoned and divided into eight places. There are more than 2,600 people. Including the current people in the house, there are about 8,000 people. The people who sent the city have not heard back yet. Counting the days, we should hear from you tomorrow."
Everyone knows that the Xu family in Ruozhou has five thousand followers and is the number one family in the martial arts world. But only the three Xu brothers know the true strength of the Xu family.
"Thirty thousand people... Thirty thousand people. In addition to the more than 40,000 people in Ruozhou Military Camp, our Xu family may not be without a lot of achievements!" Xu Xiaoyu whispered to himself, his thin face shaking unconsciously .
He clenched his palms and said sternly to his two younger brothers: "We must capture Ruozhou Military Camp. My second brother, I will personally take people to the Imperial Government Office tonight."
Xu Xiaoshi stood up and laughed loudly: "He really thinks of himself as a green onion. Haha, tonight I will let him know whether this Ruozhou has the final say, his government or our Xu family." The final word!"
"Bring more people. The people coming from the capital must be on guard. You can't alert the snake. Since the Xu family has taken action, there is no reason to fail." Xu Xiaoyu said coldly, "The emperor's defense should be doubled. At this critical moment, , there must be no accidents.”
This is a step that cuts off the road to retreat. Once you take it, there is really no room to look back. Behind you is the Xu family's century-old foundation, and in front of you is the Xu family's bright future.
"Please open your eyes and bless me, Duanmu!"
...
After Duanmu Jing left, Juheyuan became much quieter, and even Mu Ji rarely spoke. Everyone felt the critical situation, and they could even feel that Duanmu Yu was a little different from usual.
Although careful planning had been made before coming to Dahua, the development of the situation was completely unexpected.
"I still underestimated Xia Chengxuan. I thought that when he first came to the throne, he would be busy arranging the outline of the court and drafting national affairs, and would not care about the Ruozhou Alliance. Unexpectedly... this person is really not to be underestimated. Duan Muyu put the pen and ink aside and thought to himself, "This is a risky move. It depends on whether the Xu family can capture Xia Chenghuan!"
Xu Xiaoyu is a calm person. Without Duanmuyu's instructions, he would never take the risk to assassinate Nintendo and seize the military power of Ruozhou Military Camp.
The news from the Gongyang Palace in the south has not yet come, so Duanmuyu asked the Xu family to take action first, feeling somewhat uneasy. If there is no response to Ruozhou's actions, it will surely fall into the predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and will never be able to continue for a long time.
"If the Xu family gets the military power of the Ruozhou military camp, plus the people they already have, there will be no problem in a short-term stalemate with the capital's city defense army and the Shenshao camp. The Chu Nan Army in Luhai, southeastern Europe, is 800 meters away from Ruozhou. Within half a month, they can get there. Mu Danqing’s main force is Qingqi. If the march goes well, it will take more than ten days to attack Chunan from Baishan Mountain. Hopefully, it’s still too late. Xia Chengcan’s 90,000 white-clad troops are in Binan. If the Gongyang family If we don't contain him, it won't take ten days to rush to Ruozhou's aid. By then, the Xu family will never be able to withstand it. Duanmu Jing, the fate of Jue State is now in your hands." Duanmuyu looked to the south and lowered his head. Said loudly.
...
"What? How could you put the emperor in such danger!" In the military tent of Baishan Camp, Mu Danqing pointed at Duanmu Jing's nose and yelled, "What are you doing for food!"
He stared angrily, raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, and the veins on his face were exposed, obviously he was extremely angry.
Duanmu Jing frowned and glanced at him, but did not answer.
The two of them were in a stalemate for two cups of tea. Duanmu Jing saw that Mu Danqing's anger had subsided a lot and finally spoke: "First, it is extremely dangerous for the emperor to go deep into the hinterland of China. Before leaving, we expected that there would be It is dangerous. Secondly, although the emperor is under heavy siege, he is also protected by many layers, so he should be safe for the time being. Thirdly, whether this crisis is a crisis or an opportunity for Jue country, it is still unclear at the moment."
"What do you mean?" Mu Danqing asked angrily.
Just now, he was about to order the entire army to break camp and march north to attack Ruozhou.
"The Xu family will be in trouble in Ruozhou in the near future. You will lead the army from Tanzhou to Chunan tomorrow. The emperor ordered you to contain the Chunan Army of Ouluhai in this battle. It is best to destroy them!" Duanmu Jing replied! road.
After hearing this, Mu Danqing looked solemn and made some calculations in his mind.
The 140,000 troops stationed in the Baishan Camp were one of the two main forces in Jue's Northern Expedition. It was for this reason that Xia Chengcan took the initiative to request that the white-clothed troops be stationed in Binan. Xia Chengxuan and Xia Chengcan both knew that the more than 70,000 people in General Chu Nan's Mansion alone would never be able to stop Baishan's army.
But now most of the White Army has been stationed at the Pinan Post and has become Dahua's first line of defense. With them guarding it, Mu Danqing is not sure of a quick victory.
"Duanmu Jing, how much do you know about the White Army?" Mu Danqing asked coldly.
"Many."
"How much do you know about the Northern Expeditionary Army?" Mu Danqing asked again.
"Many."
Mu Danqing looked unhappy and asked again: "Do you think the White Army will let us pass through Tanzhou?"
"I understand what you mean. But just go to Tanzhou with your army, and leave the white-robed army to the silver-armored army from Gongyang Prince's Mansion to deal with it." Duanmu Jing replied sternly.
What he said was very certain, and it was impossible to joke about this kind of thing.
Mu Danqing looked suspicious, and after a while he asked: "Has Gongyang Xun decided to surrender to us?"
The Jue Kingdom was recruiting Gongyang Wangfu, and as a general, he naturally knew about it. But over the years, Gongyang Xun has been refusing to speak out, showing no signs of relenting.
"Before coming here, I just came back from Gongyang Prince's Mansion." Duanmu Jing was noncommittal.
"How did you do it?" Mu Danqing asked with a laugh.
Duanmu Jing shook his head and replied: "It wasn't me who did it, it was the emperor who did it. Enticing them, harming them, intimidating them, and winning them over with kindness. Moreover, we have surrendered the Gongyang Palace to Jue Kingdom in advance. The news spread, and the physical evidence that the Silver Armor Army participated in the ambush of Xia Muyang at Yingxiao Gorge was 'unintentionally' passed to the White Army. In this situation, he will die if he does not die."
Mu Danqing took a deep breath and replied seriously: "Okay, there is no need to worry about anything. The Northern Expeditionary Army's forward battalion will surely arrive at Chuzhou City within twelve days."
"Yes. The food and grass that 'Clair Eye' has secretly stored in the southern border for ten years will be enough to meet your needs for one month. With Mr. Xu's ability, the food road from Baishan Mountain to Chunan will be opened within one month." Duanmu Jing nodded in response. .
The two chatted for a while and then went about their business. They all have important matters to attend to and dare not delay.
...
The net is not a weapon, but it is the nemesis of many weapons, especially the iron net with the bladed hook.
In the chaos, Duan Liyou only felt a sparse black shadow flash across his eyes, and then severe pain spread throughout his body.
"It's a hook net!"
After realizing what was tied to him, he felt nothing but despair.
Hook nets are also called dragnets. Once caught, they will be slaughtered by others, almost to the point of death.
Qin Guangen and Lu Zhaoyou's men had already arrived, and one after another the dragnets were falling towards where the dead men of the Nine Halls gathered.
