Chapter 653: All-Out Battle
I'm afraid that everyone in the Fan family would never have dreamed that there would be such a day.
The Fan family, who was so arrogant that they couldn't be beaten, fell into an unprecedented crisis in such an instant.
The Elder Hall was playing in the dark, but at this time, elsewhere in the Fan family, it was also very lively. A group of people seemed to have lost their souls, and they were all discussing the army that suddenly appeared outside the Fan family today.
Not long ago, the front door of Fan's house came to report. A hundred meters outside Fan's house, he was suddenly surrounded by the army. Everyone is only allowed to enter and not to leave, otherwise they will be killed.
As for whether they only kill real or fake killing, then no one dares to go up and try it. The only thing that everyone knows is that this army is murderous and well-trained, and it is clearly not here to amuse.
At first, they thought that their young master had provoked some of the military's sons. The boy was in a hurry, so he made trouble around the front door and came out.
The Fan family has not experienced it before, but in the end, it is not over.
After all, although the Fan family is not very famous, its strength is there. It's not casual, whoever wants to move, can move.
So they didn't even bother to tell the old man what he thought about it. In their opinion, it is simply a sin to disturb the old man for such a trivial matter.
It was only then that they noticed that this time it seemed to be a little different.
It was not only the front door of the Fan family that was surrounded, but also the back door of the Fan family, and even several small doors hidden by the Fan family, all of which were guarded.
The few domestic servants who wanted to go out through the side door were almost shot to death by the soldiers who were lying in ambush there.
Then a few clever guards almost fell down in fright when they climbed on top of the Fan family's taller buildings and looked out.
I saw that the entire Fan family was surrounded by soldiers. Those soldiers looked like there were more than 10,000 of them, all with solemn expressions, their swords unsheathed, as if they were ready to charge at any time.
At this time, those housekeepers didn't dare to hide this matter privately, and immediately went to the old man's house to find him.
However, after hearing this, the old man of the Fan family was also stunned, and immediately asked, "Can someone say why?"
"No!" The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "We sent someone to negotiate, and we also sent drinks and snacks, but they were all thrown back directly." ”
"You didn't think of any other way?" Old Man Fan frowned slightly: "I don't believe it, there is no way to open a gap?"
"I thought about it!" the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion hurriedly said: "We have sent people over to the side gates of several places, and we have seen that there are no officers guarding them. Five million taels of gold were sent, but those soldiers didn't even look at it!"
Old Man Fan stood up suddenly: "There is still this kind of thing, is it possible that this dog has really changed and eats!"
The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion hurriedly said: "Today's matter is really a little too weird, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to bother the old man with your idea!"
"How is the elder hall over there?" In fact, how did Old Man Fan not know the reason, it was not because his precious grandson actually provoked the protector. Nine times out of ten, the army surrounded outside is probably the expeditionary force under the Protector Hou.
But this matter must not be said now. After all, the status of the protector is too high, and if those subordinates know about it, they will definitely be panicked.
Maybe there will be chaos in the entire Fan family, this kind of thing is actually equivalent to rebellion.
openly besieging and killing the Protector in Ziyang City, if it spreads, it can simply scare people to death.
But the problem is that the benefits of killing the Protector are too tempting. With the reputation of obtaining the Holy Sword of Mercy and killing a marquis under the Emperor Dashun, he joined Sheng Qiantao's team.
Then it will be difficult for the Fan family in the future not to be prosperous.
This is a game, and the key is whether he dares to bet.
For a while, Old Man Fan seemed to see him three hundred years ago, who was upright and young. At that time, he was full of spirit, and with one punch and one kick, he stubbornly beat a Fan family in Ziyang City.
Three hundred years have passed like a white horse. In the past three hundred years, although the Fan family has expanded day by day under his rule, he himself has three generations of descendants, enjoying the prosperity and wealth of the world.
But his current life has long been unchanged for him, and he has no passion at all.
But at this moment, Old Man Fan suddenly felt the passion that he had not seen for a long time, and he was slowly returning to his body. His blood, which had been silent for a long time, was being ignited.
"Get my knife!" Suddenly, Old Man Fan raised his hand and said, "You go and organize the guards in the mansion, ready to deal with the impact at any time." But if the other party doesn't take the initiative to attack, you must also remember to exercise restraint!"
"Old man, you are!" The big butler of the Fan Mansion is also a martial arts cultivator. Since 300 years ago, he has followed Old Man Fan to the north and south. He is a master and servant and a good friend. At this time, when I heard Old Man Fan's arrangement, I was a little surprised.
Not surprised enough to be surprised, for Old Man Fan's words, he is still strict.
Immediately, he trotted to the other side of the room, took down a golden knife that was placed on the offering table, and handed it to Old Man Fan with both hands.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you!" Old Man Fan took the golden knife from the old butler's hand, shook slightly, and immediately let out a roar.
Like a bloodthirsty beast, it is gradually awakening.
This golden knife itself is actually only a quasi-heavenly weapon, but because there are too many killings, there is actually a trace of spirituality condensed in the knife at this time.
If you continue to kill, I am afraid that if you have another one or two hundred years of kung fu, you will definitely be able to promote to a real heavenly weapon.
However, because of Old Man Fan's high position, he is already far away from the years when he needs to take action in person. So the knife has been silent.
But now, I feel the call of my master. The bloodthirsty spirit in the knife was awakened again, and it suddenly let out a beast-like roar.
Old Man Fan still has great trust in this housekeeper, and he immediately has nothing to hide. And he told him what had happened in the presbytery.
When the old housekeeper heard that the person trapped in the elders' hall at this time turned out to be the current protector of the country, he was really shocked.
But in an instant, he already understood what Old Man Fan was thinking. It's just that he and Old Man Fan don't think the same.
Immediately said with some concern: "Old man, I'm afraid this matter is a little weird." Since what Elder Dong'er said is that the young master brought the Protector Hou into our Fan family through the secret passage, but where did those troops outside the door come from. Also, since those troops knew that the Protector was under siege in our Fan family, why did they just besiege and not even ask for anyone?"
Old Man Fan nodded and said, "I have already thought of what you said." But the key to this matter is still in the protector. When he dies, we will win. Even if it is a tragic victory, if you want to make a comeback, it is only a matter of time. But if we back down now, it will be doomed!"
The old housekeeper wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Everything is up to the master!"
"Don't worry!" Old Man Fan patted the old butler on the shoulder: "Three hundred years ago, we had no money and no power, and with one breath, we made a huge family business. And now, our family has a big business, and there is no reason to lose!"
"Yes!" the old butler let Old Man Fan's words move his mind, that's right, three hundred years ago, they were just nobodies, and they punched and kicked today.
And today, they have so many martial sects, so many exercises, treasures, heavenly weapons, and earth weapons, and they have no possibility of losing this battle.
Old Man Fan put the golden knife on his shoulder: "I'll go to the Hall of Elders to end the battle, and after we kill the Protector Hou Qian, you try to stabilize the situation." Even if a conflict breaks out, we must guard against it!"
"Yes!" The chief butler nodded heavily: "Old man, don't worry, our Fan family is not an existence that can be bullied." Although there are many of them, if they want to rush in, I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
As soon as the master and servant talked, they immediately went their separate ways.
The Fan family can be said to be a soldier for all the people, and even if they are laundry and cooking maids in the house, they are all silver cultivators. In the entire Fan Mansion combined, there were more than 3,000 miscellaneous servants and more than 1,000 guards.
Among them, there are as many as one or two hundred martial arts alone, and even the golden rank has three or four hundred.
If you really want to rush to kill, in terms of combat effectiveness, the 20,000 silver-level expeditionary force outside the gate is probably not their combined strength.
However, the army naturally cannot be compared with the civilian population, and if it is only about combat effectiveness, why do you need the army, and directly pull out some people with high cultivation to fill the number.
If you really fight, the cooperation between each other, including the combination of some battle formations, is the key to the victory of the army.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, you are the gold level, and you are stronger than the silver level. But while you can defeat the silver rank in front of you, can you guard against the rest of the black hands that are reaching out to you from all directions?
In group combat, the cooperation between teammates is far more important than the courage of the horseman.
These are things that those servants and guards of the Fan family do not have. They may be strong alone, but if there is really a head-on conflict, I am afraid that a group charge of the army can scare them stupid.
This is also the reason why Old Man Fan ordered to strictly guard and not take the initiative to attack.
Unless there are one or two of them, it seems that Qin Sheng, a rare "pervert" like Qin Sheng, can fight his way out of the bloody road with his own strength.
But even if that kind of person exists, the shadow guard sent out by Qin Sheng, as well as Manji, Wang Chao and Ma Liang, they are not vegetarians.
On the one hand, they exist to command, and on the other hand, they are to retain those more powerful characters.
But now, these people, under the command of the old butler, are all armed, and their combat effectiveness has soared immediately, but they have also settled down a lot.
