Chapter 197 - Shangguan Moucheng
Lin Xuan and Lin Changbiao spoke out one after another under the signal of Shangguan Kaiyu's eyes.
Rong Xiaozi dared to say that in order to prepare for this congratulatory gift, Kaiyu Gongzi spent all his gold and silver treasures, which really embarrassed the boy. The kid has lived for nothing for 20 years this year, and what he has done for his father is less than one-tenth of that of Kaiyu Gongzi this time, so I'm ashamed. β
"The boy's father disappeared in his early years, and the boy is relatively indifferent to the family affection in this world, and after seeing everything Kaiyu Gongzi has done in the past few days, the boy understands that no matter what happens in this world, family affection is always there and heavy!"
Shangguan Kaiyu was a little embarrassed, which made him a little embarrassed.
What people care about the most, relatively speaking, the more sensitive they are to what they are, and the more transparent they are.
Shangguan Yuanba has heard countless flattering words over the years, how can he not know what these three boys think.
The old man knew it. β
Knock β
The huge building used to keep time in Gaoyi City let out a cry like a rooster's crow.
In the dark city, the houses near the high-rise buildings spread outward, and the flaming red lanterns were lit.
Countless figures ran at great speed, all with torches in their hands.
There were more and more lanterns, and the first ones were unfettered and flew into the sky.
"What is this?"
"Grandpa, don't be impatient, this is specially arranged by the grandson, and the show is still to come. β
"Hmm. β
More and more lanterns flew into the sky, and finally they were neatly arranged at a distance of 100 feet from the ground.
Puff β
The lantern in the middle suddenly exploded, igniting the lanterns around it.
A new sky seemed to appear, and above the sky, the words that appeared quickly became clear.
"Congratulations to the Supreme Lord, who is as blessed as the East China Sea, and has a better life than Nanshan. β
In the city below, there were waves of shouts.
"Congratulations to the Supreme Lord, who is as blessed as the East China Sea, and has a better life than Nanshan. β
Those words did not disappear immediately, but were engraved in the dark night sky, Shangguan Yuanba couldn't help but be overjoyed, took a step forward, and pinched the railing.
"Wonderful!
Shangguan Kaiyu hurriedly spoke.
The man who followed us to the bottom of the tower was the most skilled painter in my house, and I believe he had painted our scene here now. After that, I will frame it and send it to my grandfather's house. β
"Hahaha - Yu'er has won my heart, and knows my heart very well!"
Shangguan Kaiyu had never seen Shangguan Yuanba so happy since he was a child, and his body trembled slightly because he was too excited.
"That's what grandchildren should do. β
"My grandson is not only you, but there are other people, why can't other people do this for the old man? β
"Yes, that grandsonβ"
Phew-
Bang β
A firework exploded around them, and the vibration that appeared made the sixty-year-old Shangguan Yuanba fall into a coma without showing his fear.
"What's going on?!"
"Protect Grandpa!"
"You-"
Woooo
Bang bang bang β
......
In Shangguan Yuanba's separate mansion, in a golden room, dozens of men, women, and children, old and young, were sitting or pacing.
To say that they don't have sadness on their faces, there is a little bit. The most is the cloudy, non-stop rolling eyes.
From time to time, they looked at Shangguan Kaiyu, who was sitting closest to the door of the inner room with his hands covered in his head and his body tied with gauze.
In addition to Lin Xuan and Lin Changbiao, who were also dressed in gauze, Shangguan Kaiyu also had several men and women aged from their twenties to their forties and fifties.
"Yu'er, you don't have to panic and blame yourself too much. You are a piece of filial piety, but I don't know who took advantage of your filial piety and did a big bad thing!"
"If the assassin of the Guilty Clan is caught, he must be executed!"
"The city has been sealed for several hours, and 100,000 soldiers have searched the city, but they have not found the assassins, alas-"
"There must be an inner ghost! If there is no inner ghost, how do they know that Kaiyu has made those arrangements and assassinated at such a coincidental time?!"
Lin Xuan and Lin Changbiao felt the malice coming from all directions, and hurriedly knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, and Lin Xuan even hugged Shangguan Kaiyu's calves, who had not spoken.
"Childe, we are all innocent!
"This matter has absolutely nothing to do with us, even if we are given another hundred guts, we will not dare to assassinate Master Shangguan!"
The surrounding Shangguan clan people saw that their gaze was becoming more and more unkind, and the two had to shout loudly again.
"Childe, please say a word for us!"
"Hurting Lord Shangguan will not do our Lin family any good, and it will give Beilin's Guangwu Army a chance, how do you think we will not do such a stupid thing!"
Shangguan Kaiyu made a move, but he just kicked the two of them away.
Shook his head wildly and got up and jumped on top of the two of them.
"Ahhh
Shangguan Kaiyu didn't give the two of them any more words, and the dagger quickly stabbed into the hearts of the two.
Lin Xuan, the youngest head of the Lin family since the rise of power, although he only controls Zhonglin, but he can firmly control Zhonglin at such a young age, and his personal wisdom does not need to be said.
Lin Changbiao, the son of the head of the Nanlin family. Since three years ago, almost all of Nanlin's contacts with Shangguan have been handled by him. I believe that it will not be long before Nanlin can be controlled.
But no matter how clever they are, how clever their personal resourcefulness is. In front of Shangguan Kaiyu, who was born higher than them, there was only the life of being killed.
The children under the age of five in the room were blindfolded before Shangguan Kaiyu made a move.
And men and women over the age of five, looking at the two corpses that were still bleeding, did not even frown.
"Pull them out!"
"Yes!"
There were two people missing from the room, and everyone didn't feel anything, sitting everywhere, their eyes still moving.
A middle-aged man, after feeling a few glances, looked at Shangguan Kaiyu.
"Kaiyu nephew, if you do this, you will lose the style of our Shangguan family!"
Shangguan Kaiyu turned his head suddenly, but instead of looking at the person who said him, he looked at a man sitting near the door.
The man was about his age, and there were more people around him than he was.
"Shangguan Moucheng, what do you have to say directly, don't you feel like you lose your identity by letting a dog bite people indiscriminately?"
The people around Shangguan Kaicheng were furious and shouted one after another.
"Shangguan Kaiyu, is this the tone in which you are talking to your uncle?"
"Did you learn such an unfilial style that goes against human ethics through the words and deeds of your parents?"
"It's really a 'dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son and will make holes', which is really worrying to us!"
The people on Huyan Kaiyu's side, in addition to anger, are still angry.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's just a small wild seed, you are surrounded by wild seeds, not ashamed but proud, this is what worries us!"
"Gou Ye Seed, answer this son!"
Shangguan Moucheng's eyes flashed with blood, clapping his hands, and there was a commotion outside, and hundreds of soldiers ran into the room.
Shangguan Kaiyu and the others had extremely ugly faces, and they didn't dare to question Shangguan Moucheng loudly again.
But they don't ask, but Shangguan Moucheng can.
He left his seat and walked towards Shangguan Kaiyu and the others, who didn't dare to move.
The eyes of everyone in the room were on his every move. He walked up to Shangguan Kaiyu, who was pointing at him, raised his hand and patted his face.
The muscles on Shangguan Kaiyu's face trembled, and the anger in his eyes burned wildly, but he didn't make a move.
"Shangguan Moucheng, what do you want to do? Grandpa is in danger, you actually let the soldiers enter the room and disturb grandpa's healing, do you want to rebel?"
"Hehe-rebellion, you should have been happy enough all these years, right?"
Shangguan Kaiyu's legs were a little weak, and he shouted: "What do you mean? Don't you see? This wild seed wants to destroy our Shangguan family, do you still want to be with them?"
Those people around Shangguan Moucheng looked at Shangguan Kaiyu with a thick mockery.
"If you ascend to the position of the head of the family, for us, it will be the real destruction of the Shangguan family!"
"You think we don't know, and you plan to kick us all out of our positions after we get the position of head of the house?"
"Young Master!"
Shangguan Kaiyu's eyes kept staring at Shangguan Moucheng's eyes, and he saw that there was ruthlessness in them.
Both hands carried a force weighing more than a hundred catties and hit Shangguan Moucheng's chest.
Seeing that Huyan Moucheng couldn't react at all, just staring at his fist blankly, Shangguan Kaiyu was overjoyed: "Hahaha-you wild seed, let me die!"
Bang β
The sound of a mortal body hitting metal resounded throughout the room, followed by Shangguan Kaiyu's inhuman screams.
"Ahh
The smugness on the faces of those people behind Huyan Kaiyu did not dissipate, and he hurriedly looked at Shangguan Kaiyu's arm, his hands were broken in two from his wrists, and he was unable to hang on them.
"Yu'er!"
"You wild seed, I'll fight with you!"
"Kill this wild seed, and our Shangguan family will be calm!"
Shangguan Moucheng jumped backwards, dodging the crazy people, and shook his arm down.
"Kill them!"
"Yes!"
......
Shangguan Moucheng stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking up at the dim sky.
A general walked out of the house, carrying a blood-dripping cloth bag.
"Maleβ"
Shangguan Moucheng turned around suddenly: "Huh?"
The general shuddered, threw himself to the ground, and raised the sack high with both hands.
"Tell the head of the family, the head of the traitor is here, please check it!"
The general's fingers moved a few times and pulled down the sides of the cloth bag.
With a withered face, pale forehead hair and high cheekbones, isn't this Shangguan Yuanba's head?
The skin around his eyes was wrinkled, and it appeared that he had been killed while enduring pain.
Shangguan Moucheng stretched out his hand and poked the forehead of his head, and his head shook. Poke again, and the amplitude of the head shake increases. Suddenly, he reached out and covered his head, lifting it to a high place, and the madness on his face quickly appeared.
"Hahaha-aren't you very powerful? Aren't you going to be the head of the official family for a hundred years? Aren't you able to do whatever you want to any woman in your territory?"
"Hahaha-Mother!I killed this beast, and I avenged you!Rest in peace!Rest in peace!Woo-Woo-Mother!"
"You can disappear for me!"
Shangguan Moucheng threw the head to the ground.
Bang β
The human head came into contact with the stone slab and fell apart.
Staring at the red and white color on the ground, the madness on Shangguan Moucheng's face slowly disappeared.
Straighten out his clothes and glance at the trembling generals.
"Gather all the people of the Shangguan family to the council hall!"
"Yes!"
......
The direction of this incident is already very clear, and no Shangguan clan dares to venture out to die.
Therefore, Shangguan Moucheng did not have any accidents, and became the second head of the Shangguan family after ceding his land as the king.
Even the heirs of orthodoxy and bloodline sometimes do some big things at the beginning of their reign.
The first purpose, of course, is to let the world know that "I am coming". The second purpose is to get the so-called three fires of new officials in office, to kill people who do not belong to their henchmen and replace them with their own henchmen. The last purpose is to make some achievements and establish great prestige, so that the people in the territory will not only dare to obey, but also feel that by following the new king, everyone can have a better future.
For a person like Shangguan Moucheng who ascended to the position of head of the family through improper means, this process is even more essential.
And what he had been planning for years would do now, because he was convinced that now was the best time for him.
Because there is a force that has handed over the supreme prestige to him, and that force is - Tiance!
......
Although he became the head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Moucheng did not immediately change his residence.
After arranging everything, he left the Shangguan family compound and returned to his original residence, which was located in the north of the city, where the people were the poorest and the environment was the worst.
But no matter how bad the environment is, his house will not be much worse.
led more than a dozen people standing beside him this morning into the council hall and sat down.
"Bring people in!"
"Yes!"
A moment later, a young man dressed in a fine costume and holding a long item wrapped in silk cloth walked into the council hall, which was soon filled with a strange smell.
If you take a closer look, isn't this similar to the smell left after the launch of fireworks?
"Meet the head of the family and the adults. β
Shangguan Moucheng nodded, the general who brought Shangguan Yuanba's head before followed him on weekdays, but he still called him a son before, Ye Xingbang has been following Shangguan Kaiyu since he agreed to follow him, but at this time, he will call him 'the head of the family' in the first sentence, and his good impression of Ye Xingbang has greatly increased.
Get up and walk to the position and lift it up yourself.
"Xingbang don't be polite, this time you can hit with one blow, you have made great contributions!"
Ye Xingbang shook his head hurriedly as he got up.
When the head of the family confronts Guan Kaiyu and his henchmen, it all depends on the efforts of all the adults, and the adults are the ones who have made great contributions!"
The people of the Shangguan family who had seen Shangguan Moucheng personally help him up before, and those Shangguan family who were glaring at him angrily nodded in unison.
The eyes were like seeing a very pleasing sight.
If Ye Xingbang has a heart, after going down, maybe he can become the son-in-law of the Shangguan family.
"Hahaha-good, good, give Xingbang a seat!"
"Thank you, master!"
After all the kings and ministers were happy, Shangguan Moucheng faced Ye Xingbang. Ye Xingbang got up again and made a compilation around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the news of the humble position has been confirmed, and Tiance will-"
Half an hour later, from Shangguan Moucheng's residence, a scout ran out.
They rushed everywhere with 100,000 urgent secret letters each.
......
Upper but the city.
Xia Bing'er, Gu Xuzhang and other important figures of Tiance gathered in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the generals who came this time were the most neat after Yang Fengqing left, and even Long Xun, who was stationed in the new city, was in the queue.
Xia Bing'er waved her hand, and the guards who had already prepared sent down the secret letter with many copies of rubbing.
Gu Xuzhang, Hua Ji, Liu Changan and others did not answer the letter, they already knew the content inside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at what you think about this. β
The sound of chattering in the council hall sounded, and Xia Bing'er and the others did not stop it.
It's really because there are a lot of people like Ergou, who can easily get on their horses and charge to kill the enemy, but they will take half their lives by chewing words.
"Since this matter is from a subordinate of Huada, I want to hear what Huada people think. β
Zhang Qishen, as Yang Fengqing's old subordinate, has great prestige in the army, and dares to face Huaji, who is now ranked in the top five in Tiance.
Huaji is in power and respects Zhang Qishen very much.
"Lord Zhang has tormented the boy, and he thinks that he can send troops, but he should keep a back hand. β
Chen Tianfeng shook his head.
"We only have 300,000 troops, and the combined forces of Zhonglin, Nanlin and Shangguan that confront us are no less than 400,000. If there is still a backhand, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. β
"Hey, if you want me to say, the goal set this time is not too high, just swallow Zhonglin!"
Huaji chimed in.
"I also think it's safer to do this, Nanlin has a close relationship with the Shangguan family, and the territory between them is mixed with the two forces, even if it is captured, I'm afraid there will be many hidden dangers. And only taking Zhonglin will not have this concern, because Zhonglin has been guarding against the attack of Nanlin and Shangguan's family all the year round, and arranging the south like an iron wall, we only need to take over those cities, and we will definitely be able to integrate Zhonglin into Beilin!"
