After a night of fighting, before dawn, there was not even a drop of extra blood in the corner of Qingfeng City, but in the cemetery in the north of the city, more than a dozen mounds had been raised.

There are at least a thousand corpses buried in each mound!

Just think about that kind of sobriety, it is enough to make people disgusting and terrifying, I believe that many people don't understand why they died and why they died in Qingfeng City.

In fact, less than 30,000 of the 20,000 people who escaped into Qingfeng City have escaped, and the rest are either buried here or have disappeared into ashes. It is estimated that most of the forces near the Chiba family have become the commander of the light pole, and they have lost a lot of money in this business.

When Xu Ning arrived at Mengyunju, the patriarchs of the other four families had already arrived, but today was not a good day, it should be because of last night's actions, everyone reunited again.

As soon as Xu Ning entered, he was pulled over by Lin Wudi, and he saw an excited expression on his face, as if he was going to marry a daughter-in-law.

"Senior Lin, you ......"

"Good boy, thanks to your plan, haha, all of the Imperial mongrels who tried to infiltrate the neighbor last night were killed! Not a single one to stay! ”

Xu Ning nodded, and smiled slightly with a somewhat cold expression.

Song Yun also walked over and said, "There are too many people this time, far beyond the original expectations, fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been unlucky last night." ”

Zhao Wu and Duanmu Shangpu also nodded frequently, although they didn't say anything, their obvious expressions were all grateful to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was not happy, he nodded slightly. He walked to a chair and sat down, bowed his head and said nothing, holding his chin with one hand, his brow furrowed.

Such expressions and actions would naturally make the other four patriarchs feel strange, but no one could figure out what was going on. In the end, it was Lin Wudi who spoke, he was really different from ordinary people, the older he gets, the bigger his temper is, and the more angry he becomes.

"I said Xu Ning, we just won last night. How do you put on such an expression? Something to say directly. Don't whet my old man's appetite! ”

"Senior Lin, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be mysterious, actually. It's because I don't even know what to say. Xu Ning hurriedly replied. He knew Lin Wuyi's temper. But at the moment, I am not in the mood to say anything.

"Did something unusual happen?" Duanmu Shangpu, who had not spoken, approached and asked, "Yesterday's fight, although the cause was an act of self-defense. But in the end, there is also a suspicion of a private fight, and so many people have died, in case the imperial family makes a fuss about this matter, we ......"

Lin Wushu interrupted him impatiently: "How about the imperial family, is it three heads and six arms?" Lao Tzu is not afraid of them! Look at your little bit of urine! ”

Duanmu Shangpu has always had a very gentle temper, but this sentence angered him, and he angrily pointed at Lin Wushu and shouted: "Lin Wudi, you don't pretend in front of Lao Tzu!" What a god! You have a kind of going to fight the Imperial army with real knives and guns, hmph, don't rely on the old and sell the old here! ”

"Duanmu Shangpu, pay attention to your tone when you speak, Lao Tzu's patience is not so good!" Probably Duanmu Shangpu had never had such a big fire, and Lin Wushu was also a little confused.

Song Yun and Zhao Wu were stunned, they didn't expect these two people to quarrel, so they hurriedly came over to persuade them.

Once an honest person starts a fire, it is very strict, and after Song Yun pulled away Lin Wuving, Zhao Wu was pushed away by Duanmu Shangpu. I saw him pointing his finger at Lin Wuyi's head, and said mercilessly: "Old Ghost Lin, your family has done a good thing in Qingfeng City for so many years, except for the interests of your own family?" Hmph, every year, you are trying to take it by force, and now you are shouting in front of everyone, what are you! ”

"Duanmu, are you looking for death?!"

Lin Wudi's head was full of green muscles, and just about to get angry, Xu Ning roared in a low voice: "Everyone, stop arguing!" ”

It's not loud, but it's full of intimidation!

The quarrel immediately stopped, and when the four of them turned around, Xu Ning's eyes were staring at them like flames.

"If even we have to quarrel like this, Qingfeng City will be really dangerous!" Xu Ning said coldly.

The four of them blushed and dispersed in embarrassment, and each returned to his seat and sat down, bowing his head and saying nothing.

This secret room located in the hall of the Mengyunju Guild was not very big originally, but at this moment, because people did not speak, it seemed very empty, Xu Ning's gaze remained cold, and it seemed that there were still many things that he had not figured out, and the others were also waiting quietly.

It took about half a pillar of incense before Xu Ning woke up from his contemplation and coughed lightly twice.

"Elders, Xu Ning was a little out of shape just now, please forgive me!"

Lin Wudi was also a little embarrassed, and said with a dry laugh: "Xu Ning, it's all because my temper is not very good, don't take it too seriously." ”

"I know that although the four seniors usually don't communicate much, if it involves the safety of Qingfeng City, they are also in the same mood as me. After all, in the current Qingfeng City, what can be said is only our five major families. Xu Ning sighed and continued: "It can be said that no one can be left alone. But yesterday's action could not be called a success. ”

The four of them looked at each other after listening to Xu Ning's words, not understanding what he meant.

"Listen to me." Xu Ning paused, "We used the method of reclusive warfare, although most of the killer assassins who committed crimes in the future were killed, but the expected thing was not like this, because those people were not sent by the Dongzhou Imperial Family, and the actual conspiracy was much stricter than we thought!" ”

Then, Xu Ning told the other four patriarchs what he had discovered, 1510, without reservation.

After listening to Xu Ning's narration, everyone was shocked!

"The Chiba family?!" Zhao Wu couldn't help but say, "How could the Chiba family do such a thing? How could they do such a thing?! For a long time, the relationship between the Chiba family and the Dongzhou royal family has been like fish and water, and the Chiba family has almost helped the Dongzhou royal family fight down half of the country over the years! The honor given by the Dongzhou Imperial Family to the Chiba family. It is also incomparable to any family, doing this kind of thing behind the back of the Dongzhou royal family, aren't you afraid of being beheaded all over the house? No way! ”

Lin Wushu said calmly, "Hmph, how is it impossible? You said it yourself, half of the Dongzhou royal family was fought down by the Chiba family, so why can't you occupy the other half of the country? If the fish is too big, you will not be satisfied with the water in front of you, and you will yearn for a wider space! ”

"I agree with Patriarch Lin." Xu Ning nodded and said, "I have some evidence to show that there is indeed something suspicious about the Chiba family. And the Dongzhou Empire is now in an eventful season. I believe that your intelligence network has also heard some rumors about the Dongzhou royal family is not very good! If the Chiba family usurps the throne at this time, the possibility is very large, and it is also very easy! ”

"If the Chiba family wants to subvert the Dongzhou Imperial Family, they can directly find a way to deal with them. Why do you want to attack Breeze City? ”

Xu Ning understood in his heart. This is, of course, because of my own relationship. And his true ability, the Chiba family knows very well. But these things can't be told to the four people in front of you.

"My speculation may not be accurate and unfounded." Xu Ning said. "A large part of the reason why we dealt with the Chiba family was because of the Qilin Mountain Range occupied by the Xu family. You should know that the armament forging of the Dongzhou Imperial Family requires a large number of high-quality ores and monster cores, and the Xu family's biggest supply object every year is actually the army of the Dongzhou Empire. You might as well think about it again, who has the most people in the army of the Dongzhou Empire? ”

The answer to the question doesn't have to be thought about at all, it's naturally the Chiba family!

I don't know if it's nervous or excited, but the four people who are doing it suddenly become active. This reaction was also expected by Xu Ning, just imagine these people who have been crawling on the tip of the knife all year round, when they think of the possibility of a huge war, they will naturally have an urge to conquer; However, after many years of peace, it is definitely unwilling to let them fall back into the situation of war, so they will do everything in their power to prevent this from happening.

That's where the contradiction lies.

"Could it be that our Breeze City is just a front? His mother's! Lin Wushu scolded.

"No, this group of people attacking Qingfeng City is not simply a rumina and a provocation, they also have a purpose, that is, for a thing in your hands, of course, I also have this kind of thing in my hands."

"What?!"

"The Key to the Eight Directions!"

"What? How could the Chiba family know about this kind of thing?! ”

Among the four people present, each of them has a part of the keys to the eight directions in their hands, plus one in Shangguan Yunyan's hands, Xu Ning has three in his hands, and one of them is a total of eight.

It is said that when the keys of the eight directions are combined, they can open the elven seal of the ancient era!

"In the Dongzhou Empire, if there is anything that the Chiba family can't inquire about, it should be the secret of the Dongzhou Imperial Family!" Xu Ning said with a sigh.

"I really didn't expect to be tricked by the Chiba family!" Lin Wushu said angrily.

"Actually, I think it's also an opportunity." Xu Ning said calmly, "Everyone, it is not so easy to build an empire, although there will be a lot of unfair things happening, but for most people, it is still a stable and peaceful state, and I think you will not break it lightly." If you take this opportunity to take this opportunity to knock down the Dongzhou Empire, let the power of the Xuanyuan family be slightly dispersed, and curb the Chiba family, it is also good. ”

"Xu Ning, you don't know about the past." Lin Wushu said coldly, "If your Xu family had also stayed in Seven Heroes City, the mood for revenge might be even stronger than ours!" ”

Zhao Wu, Song Yun and Duanmu Shangpu had the same expressions, and they unexpectedly stood on Lin Wushu's side, which caught Xu Ning off guard.

"For revenge? But isn't justice the most important thing? Xu Ning couldn't help but say.

"That's right, justice and justice are indeed very important, provided that the Dongzhou Empire can really have a heart of repentance for the past!"

Xu Ning was speechless, the matter of the twelve families was provoked by him himself, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big turmoil. If the other surviving families were in the same mood as Lin Wushu, this battle would soon burn out.

What's more, the several major families in Qingfeng City only have some connections with the twelve families in the past, and the anger of revenge is so strong, like the Gongsun family of the person concerned, it is estimated that it is even more difficult to appease.

For the sake of his plan, he had to give the Dongzhou Empire three months of peace. (To be continued......)
