Chapter 172: Tianmen Mountain Shocked
In the belly of Tianmen Mountain, in the solemn and solemn hall, eight old men formed a circle, sitting cross-legged in a gossip yin and yang circle, the old man headed by silver hair fluttering, eyes blazing, tall and burly figure sitting in the middle of the crowd has a kind of standing out from the crowd.
"Elders, there is a major matter related to the rise and fall of our Simon family, and we need to discuss it with you. The general election is approaching, and the Shangguan family has been vigorously active in the capital, and most of the officials in the capital are forced by the Shangguan family's prestige to support Liu Mingyu more than Deng Jianzhou. Our family's power is concentrated in the southern provinces, and the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Ximen Qingyang glanced at the other seven old men with a majestic face, and said in a deep voice.
"The head of the family, I think my brother is foolish, we should send people to the capital at the moment, win over those forces in the capital that are not compatible with the Shangguan family, and help Deng Jianzhou do a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, first, in exchange for the hearts of the people, and secondly, we can also compete with the Shangguan family in the capital, if Deng Jianzhou loses this election, the Shangguan family is powerful, then our situation will be very bad." The thin old man on the left side of Ximen Qingyang said with a solemn face.
"The second elder is reasonable, although the Shangguan family is powerful, it is not a one-handed cover in the capital, whether it is Tong Baichuan or Han Tianqi, they are not in agreement with the Shangguan family, and the Liu family, the Chu family and the rest of the families are still holding a wait-and-see attitude at this time, if we can unite these forces, we will occupy at least six layers of control against the Shangguan family." Ximen Yingyi nodded and continued.
The burly old man groaned for a while, looked at Ximen Yingyi who was speaking, and said, "Fourth, in your opinion, who should our family send to the capital?" ”
"The head of the family, in addition to Tong Baichuan, the force that can compete with the Shangguan family in the capital is Han Tianqi, and the five elders had a deep relationship with Han Tianqi back then, I think it would be more appropriate to send the five elders there. In addition, Tong Baichuan is not easy to deal with, and it is difficult to win over this person, but in our family, there are two people who can have a chance to complete this matter. Ximen Yingyi said with a calm smile.
"Oh, tell me, who is it?" Ximen Qingyang's face was straight, and he looked at Ximen Yingyi and asked.
"Family master, elders, Tong Baichuan loves his disciples very much, and we also know that the disciple he values most now is Yang Yifeng, if we convince Tong Baichuan through Yang Yifeng, then things will be easy to do. And the people who can talk to Yang Yifeng only have two brothers and sisters in the family, Wuxian and Wuya. Therefore, I think that the candidates sent to the capital this time are led by the five elders, and it is good for Wuxian and Wuya to act together. ”
Before Ximen Yingyi's words fell, the third elder beside him, Ximen Nanxiong, sneered and said: "Hehe, it's been a long time, the four elders are for their grandsons and granddaughters, and now their brothers and sisters ignore the family rules, and the disrespectful elders have been imprisoned in the cliff of repentance, don't you just want the head of the family to let their brothers and sisters go?" You've got a good plan. ”
"Third Elder, don't spew blood, I'm also thinking about the family's plan, no matter how innocent and indecent have made great contributions to the family, let's just say that among the younger generation, it is also an outstanding rising star. This is a very important matter to go to the capital, the five elders are alone, innocent and bold, inelegant and careful, with the assistance of their brothers and sisters, things will get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, this confrontation with the Shangguan family, we have no chance of winning, and it would be a waste to put the identity of the Wuya Fireworks Messenger without us. ”
Ximen Yingyi, who has always been low-key and gentle, was rarely fierce this time, and under the eloquent defense, he was naturally selfish, thinking about how to persuade the head of the family to release his grandson and granddaughter, the opportunity was in front of him, and he was naturally unwilling to let it go. As for the three elders who had always been above him and targeted him everywhere, the old man refuted it without giving face for the first time.
"Simon Yingyi, I was told that I was in the right mind, and I was annoyed and angry. Family heads, elders, don't forget how Tong Baichuan's son and daughter-in-law died. At the beginning, we sent someone to kill those two people, and that thing was done seamlessly, and until now, Tong Baichuan must have thought that someone from the Shangguan family did it. But sooner or later, this matter will be found out by Tong Baichuan, and there will be no peace between us and Tong Baochuan at that time. ”
After a pause, Ximen Nanxiong said again: "Ximen Wuxian brother and sister went down the mountain privately this time to help Yang Yifeng, I think all the elders have seen some clues, Ximen Wuya's girl fell in love with Yang Yifeng, as far as I know, there are many women around that kid." We, the Simon family, will never allow Simon Wuya to follow that kid without a name. Moreover, this kid is also a fireworksman, once we and Tong Baichuan turn their faces in the future, this kid will never stand idly by at that time, he can mobilize the power of the fireworks organization, which is very unfavorable to our Ximen family. ”
"What the third child said is very true. Last time, we had secretly sent someone to attack Yang Yifeng once, and with that kid's cleverness, he would definitely think of the idea that we wanted to get rid of him, even if he was inelegant and affectionate to Ximen, he might not be loyal to our Ximen family. If we let Ximen Wuya and him get married, once the relationship between the two is out of control, we are afraid that we will not be able to steal chickens and rice, and our disciples will be cheaper. Second Elder Ximen Qingyu nodded.
"Elders, I also had a fight with Yang Yifeng in Wuhan last time, this young man's skills are indeed good, and even I have nothing to do with him with the Qilin Golden Knife. However, this young man looked benevolent, he must have guessed my identity, and in the end, he did not make a ruthless move, but let me and Min'er leave. It would be a good idea if we could absorb this person into our family. Eighth Elder Ximen Yingfei said at this time.
That time in Wuhan, when the sneak attack on Shen Feng's villa, the Ximen family was the leader of this old team, of course, they didn't dare to show their true faces, they were all masked, and snatching the Qilin Golden Knife was just a cover for them, and the main purpose was naturally to kill Yang Yifeng.
However, the Ximen family made a mistake in judgment and underestimated Yang Yifeng, in that battle, only six of the more than 20 family masters brought by Ximen Yingfei came back alive, and Yang Yifeng did not kill them all, but let them go. Based on this, Ximen Yingfei is still grateful to Yang Yifeng.
"Eighth child, your disciple was killed so much by Yang Yifeng, and now you actually speak for him, I think you are scared in Wuhan. Yang Yifeng must not stay, and it is even more nonsense to absorb him into our family. Ximen Nanxiong sneered and retorted.
"Ximen Nanxiong, I hate your arrogant demeanor the most, we went to deal with Yang Yifeng, it was originally our rudeness first, and it was already benevolent and righteous that people didn't kill them all. You are so self-righteous, didn't you almost anger Yang Yifeng last time, if it weren't for the indecency and innocence, I don't think you would want to get out of it. The Eighth Elder's face turned cold, and he said coldly.
Ximen Nanxiong's face changed, the last time he went to Wuhan to bring Ximen Wuya's brothers and sisters back, his arrogant demeanor angered Yang Yifeng and others, and the two sides almost fought, he was also scared at that time, he naturally felt that his face was dull, and when he was mentioned at this time, he was a little annoyed and angry, and glared at Ximen Yingfei fiercely, and his face was blue and red.
"Alright, let's stop fighting each other. Now I want to announce one thing to you, Kazuo Watanabe, the number one master of this book, sent someone to contact me a few days ago, he wants to cooperate with our Ximen family to deal with the Shangguan family together, and his request is very simple, that is, we will snatch Yang Yifeng's Qilin Golden Knife for him, and in the future, after Deng Jianzhou takes power, he will give up the ownership of the surrounding subsidiary islands to Yuben. I have agreed to his terms. With Kazuo Watanabe's help, we don't have to woo Tong Baichuan anymore. Second Elder Ximen Qingyu suddenly spoke at this time.
"What? Cooperate with me, second, who gave you so much power? Have you forgotten that our ancestors were killed by the Say? You make your own decisions without my permission, do you still have me as the head of the family in your eyes? Ximen Qingyang's eyes flashed, and he looked at Ximen Qingyu beside him and said angrily.
And the rest of the elders, except for Ximen Nanxiong, also looked displeased, and looked at Ximen Qingyu's eyes with a look of disbelief.
Ximen Qingyu smiled disapprerovingly, then stood up, touched his beard, and looked at the people present: "What's wrong with cooperating with me, we just need what we want." There is another point that I haven't had time to say, that is, the premise of my cooperation with Kazuo Watanabe is that I will become the head of the Simon family, boss, you are already old, and you have occupied this position for so long, it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian. ”
"Bastard, do you want to rebel? I'm going to clean up the portal for the family right now and slap you bastard. Ximen Qingyang's face was pale, and he stood up and was about to do it.
"Boss, don't use your internal force at will, I've already put the musk soft sutra powder that Kazuo Watanabe gave me in the tea you drank just now, as long as you use your internal force, you will be disordered and paralyzed." Ximen Qingyu sneered disdainfully and said with a smug face.
"Ximen Qingyu, you thief, brute, you actually poisoned us, you brutalized your fellow disciples, and colluded with Yu himself, even if I die today, I will kill you first." Ximen Qingyang's momentum soared, and he shouted angrily and pounced on Ximen Qingyu.
But before he could pounce in front of Ximen Qingyu, his face suddenly turned pale, and the momentum of his whole body was like a punctured balloon, and his body fell in front of Ximen Qingyu, convulsions in pain, but he could no longer get up.
The sudden change made the faces of the rest of the people present change in shock, and they scolded Ximen Qingyu one after another, but no one dared to use their internal strength again.
"Hmph, a group of things that don't know life or death, the Ximen family will be my Ximen Qingyu in the future, if you know each other, you will listen to me obediently, otherwise, I will eradicate all your disciples, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die, the Ximen family will only raise their eyebrows in my hands, and after getting rid of the Shangguan family, the entire Huaxia Kingdom will be the world of my Ximen family, and my Ximen Qingyu will also be the most wise head of the Ximen family in history. Hahaha-" Ximen Qingyu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh when he said proudly.
"Ximen Nanxiong, I have always been kind to you, now I will give you a chance, as long as you are loyal to me in the future, I can detoxify you now, whether to become my right-hand man, carry forward the Ximen family with me, or become a waste forever in the future, you have to think clearly." After laughing, Ximen Qingyu looked at Ximen Nanxiong with a smirk on his face and said.
Ximen Nanxiong hesitated slightly, then his face turned happy, and he looked at Ximen Qingyu with a flattering face and said: "The head of the family, the younger brother will naturally follow you, and from now on he will swear allegiance to the head of the family." ”
"Good, very good, I'll give you the antidote later. As for the few of you, from now on, I will also lock you up in the precipice of repentance, and I will also take over your disciples, if any of them are not convinced, then I will definitely not show mercy. Hahaha-" Ximen Qingyu finished speaking gloomily, laughed again, and then said coldly to the outside of the main hall: "Someone is coming." ”
Looking at the dozen or so disciples who walked in, Ximen Qingyu said in a deep voice: "Immediately send these elders and the ancestor head to the Cliff of Repentance, and send someone to take strict care of me, no one is allowed to go without my permission." ”
