Following.

As soon as the early sun shone on the earth, a large group of disciples had already gathered in front of Qiao's mansion, and there were a thousand disciples.

The entire Qiao clan only raised more than 3,000 disciples in total, and allocated thirty percent of the disciples in one go, which shows that Qiao Hanwu's thoughts are still tense.

Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu sat in the courtyard waiting for news.

Soon, He Lanchou came to the courtyard and informed Qin Lin about the Qiao family's disciples stationed in the business district.

Of course, the core question is not whether the Qiao family settles in, the real core is how the four major families view this matter.

He Lan said: "After seeing the soldiers and horses of Changzhou at the gate of the city yesterday, the four major families are also cowardly now, and they dare not go against the Qiao family at all, they are all worried that the soldiers and horses of Changzhou will help the Qiao family." ”

"And so it was. Qin Lin smiled faintly.

He Lanchou continued: "From the very beginning, the city lord planned to use Changzhou soldiers and horses to deter the four major families?"

"What do you think?" Qin Lin asked rhetorically, also to test He Lanchip's resourcefulness.

He Lanchip lowered his voice a little, and said: "Looking at the current situation, the city lord wants to help the Qiao family, so that the Qiao family thinks that they have the capital to take Xiangcheng, so that the hostility between the four major families and the Qiao family will be even worse." ”

"And then?" Qin Lin continued to ask.

He Lanchou frowned, couldn't think of it, and only said: "Now the four major families are afraid of the Qiao family, once the Qiao family completely takes over the four business districts, and includes the other industries that the Chang family left in Xiangcheng, then the Qiao family is powerful, and the four major families will not be able to fight against it." ”

Speaking of this, He Lanchou sighed: "The four major families dare not start a war with the Qiao family, the Qiao family has the advantage to become the lord of Xiangcheng, I am really stupid, I don't understand the purpose of the city lord's arrangement?"

Qin Lin smiled but did not speak.

Lin Chuyu replied at this time: "He Lanchip, you are too utilitarian, why do you only think about who wins and who loses, don't you want to think about it, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky? Maybe Qiao's power is great, and Qiao Hanwu was about to ascend to the position of city lord, and he died violently!"

"Huh?" He Lanchou was a little surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that the city lord is planning to kill Qiao Hanwu at the last moment?"

"How is that possible? Am I like someone who does such a thing?" Qin Lin asked.

He Lanchou didn't speak, but he felt in his heart that assassinating Qiao Hanwu in the end seemed to be a feasible means.

When Qiao's completely controlled Xiangcheng, another thief would capture the king first, kill Qiao Hanwu, take Qiao's family, and also take Xiangcheng.

However, Qin Lin shook his head: "This is definitely not what I Qin Lin did, He Lanchip, don't guess, just wait to watch the show." ”

"City Lord, I am absolutely loyal to you, so don't hang my appetite. ”

"Fuck off. Qin Lin said.

He Lanchou shrugged, there was no way to ask again.

Soon, the news of the business district spread to Qiao's mansion, and a thousand disciples took over the business district respectively, and Qiao's family completed the purpose of officially entering the business district.

Qiao Hanwu was very happy.

Because the four major families were afraid of him, he couldn't help but be complacent, and set up a banquet that night, on the one hand, to entertain Qin Lin and Lin Chuyu, and on the other hand, to celebrate the Qiao family's victory.

However, joy and sorrow!

Just above the dinner, Qin Lin suddenly called Qiao Hanwu to the side hall alone.

"Young Master Lin, why did you call the head of the family over in such a hurry?" Qiao Hanwu asked with a smile on his face.

He had completely let down his vigilance against Qin Lin, and even regarded Qin Lin as the core force that could help Qiao's growth.

But Qin Lin's next words were like a surging river pouring down from the sky and pouring on Qiao Hanwu's head.

"The head of the Qiao family, today I received an urgent call from the elders of the clan, asking Lin and his sister to return to Changzhou as soon as possible, it seems that something has happened in Changzhou. Qin Lin said.

Qiao Hanwu was stunned.

The expression of joy on his face also stiffened.

"What, what? Lin Gongzi meant, you are leaving?" Qiao Hanwu was a little frightened.

Qin Lin nodded: "Yes, and I want to leave immediately, I was going to go to the Qiao family master to say goodbye in the afternoon, but seeing that the Qiao family is celebrating today's takeover of the business district, Lin Mou is not good at disturbing the Qiao family master, so I only said it at this time." ”

"Young Master Lin, when will you come back when you leave?" Qiao Hanwu was most concerned about this issue.

Qin Lin said: "It's hard to say, at the moment, Lin doesn't know what the elders of the clan are calling Lin back for." ”

"This, this ......" Qiao Hanwu couldn't speak, but his heart was full of scolding.

At present, the Qiao family has just taken over the business district, and the four major families are still eyeing each other.

Once the Changzhou soldiers and horses are evacuated, the fear of the four major families for the Qiao family will be greatly reduced, and even the four major families will take advantage of the withdrawal of the Changzhou soldiers and horses to directly attack the Qiao family.

Sweat oozed from Qiao Hanwu's forehead.

He couldn't help but guess in his thoughts - this damn was slammed, he was tied to the fire rack by this surnamed Lin, but his butt was on fire but he couldn't get off the rack!

Qin Lin wants to leave, and no one can stop him.

Qiao Hanwu stood on the tower of the city gate, under the bright moon, he watched the soldiers and horses of Changzhou gradually disappear into the night by the hazy moonlight.

"Dad, they're just leaving, what should we do?" Qiao Liang asked Qiao Hanwu with a stiff face.

Qiao Hanwu said in his heart, how the do I know what to do, is it possible to withdraw the disciples who have already settled in the business district?

It's impossible!

Once this is done, it will be obvious that the Qiao clan is afraid of the alliance of the four major families, and the Qiao clan will never raise their heads in Xiangcheng.

"If you bite the bullet, you have to carry it. Qiao Hanwu said through gritted teeth.

He turned to Qiao Liang: "Go and inform everyone in my clan to prepare for battle, presumably the four major families are ready to move, be sure to make adequate defenses before they make a move." ”

"Yes. Qiao Liang replied without strength.

On the other side, He Xiang, who learned of the evacuation of Changzhou's soldiers and horses, was excited, he grabbed He Lanchip's collar, and asked again and again: "Really? Lin Gongzi is really gone?"

Of course, Lin Gongzi proposed to the Qiao family, but the Qiao family didn't know how to raise it, which made Lin Gongzi very angry, so Lin Gongzi had announced that he would no longer pay attention to Qiao's family, and naturally he would withdraw the soldiers and horses who came to support Qiao's family. He Lanchou said lightly.

He Lanchip was in accordance with Qin Lin's instructions to stay in Xiangcheng as his eyes and ears.

He said this in order to make his father He Xiang more convinced of Qin Lin's departure, and at the same time, he also wanted He Xiang to convey it to the other three major families, so that they would also know that Gongzi Lin of Changzhou had abandoned the Qiao family.

In this way, Qiao's has nothing to do.

He Xiang excitedly convened the council of the heads of the other three families.

The opinions of the heads of the families are highly unanimous - destroy the Qiao family.

......

Heading towards Anjing City, Qin Lin sat in the carriage with a smile on his face.

Lin Chuyu, who was sitting on the side, saw it and said: "You can really laugh, you can leave all the Chang's property that you bought for 100,000 gold, and you can leave it all to Qiao's family, see how Chunfen cleans you up when you return to Anjing City." ”

"Sooner or later, the money spent will come back, and the property left in Xiangcheng is only temporarily placed there, and sooner or later it will be ours. "Qin Lin is bland.

"The Qiao clan must not be able to last a few days, but there are four other families in Xiangcheng. Lin Chuyu said.

Qin Lin looked at her and said in surprise, "Are you confused?"

"What?" Lin Chuyu didn't react for a while.

Qin Lin said: "This time the four major families and the Qiao clan are killed, it will inevitably be a defeat for both sides, and when they are almost killed by each other, we can go back and take the entire Xiangcheng in one fell swoop." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Lin Chuyu disagreed.

Although she was not as meticulous as Qin Lin thought, she also knew that the Chang clan would not give up.

The Chang clan was driven out of Xiangcheng and fled to Lizhou, and many of the generals in the clan fell, but they also retained a lot of core strength.

Once Xiangcheng falls into a chaotic war, the Chang clan will definitely take the opportunity to kill back.

So Lin Chuyu said worriedly: "Have you forgotten that there are still Chang clan's forces eyeing the side?"

Qin Lin said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, there will be no movement on the Chang family's side." ”

"Why?"

"Hehe......" Qin Lin's eyes looked at the Lingbo Sword in Lin Chuyu's hand.

Lin Chuyu was stunned, and immediately hid the Ling Bo Sword behind him: "I warn you, don't fight the idea of the Ling Bo Sword." ”

"A sword, a city, this kind of bargain is very cost-effective. Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu realized that Qin Lin was going to negotiate conditions with the Chang family.

Qin Lin didn't hide it and said, "Do you think that in the days you went to Huashan City, I was idle in the Qiao family's backyard every day? I had already asked He Lanchou to send a letter to An Jingcheng and asked Qi Li to negotiate with the Chang clan. ”

"You are shameless, without my consent, you took out my Lingbo sword as a bargaining chip, why!"

Lin Chu was unhappy, and scolded angrily.

Qin Lin turned his face and said confidently: "I spent money to buy the sword, what do I do with it, why do you need to say more." ”

"Well, since you say so, yes, yes. Lin Chuyu was resentful, and threw the Ling Bo sword in front of Qin Lin: "What you bought, the old lady doesn't want your things." ”

"Haha......" Qin Lin smiled.

Lin Chuyu no longer paid attention to him.

He said: "Look at you, you are obviously a smart person, why can't you figure it out." ”

"What else is there to think through, that's right, what you buy with your money, I have no right to interfere. Lin Chu's tone turned red.

Qin Lin said: "How long can the Chang clan live, what can they do if they want the Ling Bo Sword, do you really think I am using the Ling Bo Sword as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Chang Clan?"

"Otherwise, what are you doing with the Lingbo Sword?" Lin Chuyu heard this and looked back at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin said: "You really forgot, we used the name of 'Lin Clan' in the Xiangcheng auction, and those third-party merchants naturally reported our identity of 'Lin Clan' to the Chang Clan, so we can negotiate with the Chang Clan in the name of 'Qin Clan' now, can we continue to negotiate?"

"You, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple, whose hand is the Ling Bo Sword, who is the one who crushed the five major families of Xiangcheng at the auction, his Chang clan was defeated in the hands of the five major families, how can he compete with us who won the Ling Bo Sword?" Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu listened to this and understood a little.

Qin Lin continued: "The Chang clan thought that the soldiers and horses in Changzhou had withdrawn, and the five major clans of Xiangcheng were fighting chaotically, so they had the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to kill back to Xiangcheng, but once they knew that all this was a trap designed by our Qin clan behind their backs, would he dare to come back?"

"So you asked Qi Li to negotiate with the Chang family, what exactly are you talking about?" Lin Chuyu asked.

"Well, it couldn't be easier. As he spoke, Qin Lin stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the frame.

In the night, on the rising hill not far away, a firelight flickered faintly.

"It's time to get there. Qin Lin said.

"Where?"

"Where you meet Qi Li, don't you want to know how to talk to Chang, you can choose to go to Chang with Qi Li, but I suggest you don't go. Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu was stunned.

She didn't expect that Qin Lin had already arranged for Qi Li to come.

Soon, Qi Li came to the frame.

She arched her hand: "Master, good." ”

"Qi Li, it's been a long time. "Qin Lin got out of the carriage.

"It's okay, I just waited for five hours, and I thought Master wouldn't come tonight. Qi Li said, looking at the Lingbo Sword in Lin Chuyu's hand.

Lin Chu was displeased: "You master and apprentice are colluding very much, I didn't even know that you still had such a move." ”

"This is not collusion, Master ordered me to come over, even if I am not happy, I must obey the order. Qi Li seemed to be a little aggrieved.

Lin Chuyu nodded: "Your master is a scumbag, you should really betray your master." ”

"Forget it, Master is actually quite good. Qi Li smiled.

"Alright, don't slander me when you two little girls meet, get down to business. Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu handed the Lingbo Sword to Qi Li.

She was still very curious and asked, "How do you negotiate with Chang?"

"Nonsense, when the two armies meet, how can they talk about it? Of course, it is to talk about it with life, but it is not the life of Qi Li, but the life of the third son of the Chang family. Qin Lin said, looking at Qi Li: "You have confidence." ”

"Don't worry, Master, I have selected ten of the most warlike warriors from the Snow Fox Clan, and they will fight with me into the Changfu of Lizhou, and put the Lingbo sword on the neck of the third prince of Chang. Qi Li was full of confidence.

Lin Chu said: "It's that simple? is it a threat to the third prince of Chang?"

"Otherwise, is it possible to negotiate terms with a defeated and fugitive brother like him? As long as he realizes that our Qin clan is already planning Xiangcheng, it will be enough to deter the Chang clan from not daring to return to Xiangcheng. Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu shrugged: "Since that's the case, then just let me go, why let Qi Li come all the way from Anjing City." ”

Qin Lin said: "It takes a lot of time to come and go back and forth in Lizhou, do you want to miss the historical moment when our Qin clan officially settled in Xiangcheng?"

"Uh......" Lin Chuyu reacted.

According to the plan, in the past two days, He Blue Chip will instigate the four major families of Xiangcheng to start a war against the Qiao clan, and once the chaotic war begins, the forces of Xiangcheng will fall into a state of continuous attrition.

In just two or three days, the consumption of troops will reach a point where neither the four major families nor the Qiao clan can afford it.

Qin Lin said: "The current plan is so, but there is no guarantee that there will be other variables, so let's go back to Anjing City for the time being, and wait for the news from He Lanchip." ”

"Hmm. It's good that I can take a break. Lin Chu said.

She also just came back from Huashan City, and she was really tired after running all the way.

Subsequently, Qin Lin ordered the soldiers and horses to continue to set off towards Anjing City, while Qi Li and ten Snow Fox Clansmen took the Lingbo Sword and headed in the direction of Lizhou.

Qin Lin instructed Qi Li, don't startle the snake in Lizhou, just let the Chang clan realize the danger.

Qi Li understood.

She accompanied Qin Lin to West Jinzhou twice, and she also learned some methods.

At dawn on the second day, the soldiers and horses arrived outside the city of Anjing.

The soldiers of the city defense couldn't help but panic a little when they saw the armored corps outside the city.

"Well, where did this army come from?" the soldier was surprised.

It's really the armor corps that came too silently.

Chunfen rode a horse to the city gate.

"Open the door, welcome the lord back to the city!" she shouted.
