108. 108 Intimidating the Eight: Rising to the Top
The courtyard is deep, and the willow branches in front of the carved lattice windows sway slightly with the breeze, adding a touch of freshness to the breeze, and the chirping birds stir their wings and shake off some willow leaves.
The man in royal blue clothes sat in front of the window, tilted his head slightly, the corners of his mouth on his slightly sickly and pale face hooked a light and cold arc, and his eyes swept indifferently over the elegant courtyard. The willow leaves swirled in the air and landed on the man's long inky hair, and the man was quiet and leisurely.
In the middle of the night, the shadow of a man was reflected on the oiled paper of the door, followed by three slight knocks.
The man came back to his senses, and the slender fingers placed on the desk picked up the tips of his fingers, and the willow leaves that fell on his hair slowly floated down with the movements of his fingers.
"Come in." It's not loud, but it's clearly audible.
The man in a strong suit lowered his head, half-knelt on the ground, and his tone was somewhat frightened, "The head of the family, the subordinates have the trust of the master......"
Facing the visitor, Chu Nansheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, and syllables with doubts flowed out from between his lips and teeth: "Huh? ”
Seeing the master's seemingly indifferent reaction, the person kneeling on the ground not only felt happy, but almost wanted to knock his head on the ground: "The subordinates besieged Lin Jingyun and returned in a fiasco, they really deserve to be punished!" ”
Hearing this, Chu Nansheng's narrow eyes widened suddenly, his fingers clasped the table tightly because of shock, and his fingertips were pale. Furious, his face was full of light.
"Punished? Why don't you say damn it?! ”
"The subordinates ask the master to be merciful and spare their lives!" The man couldn't stop kowtowing, facing the man in the hall with a face like Shura, cold sweat ran down his forehead, "We were going to succeed, how could we have expected that Lin Jingyun would kill people like crazy, and the Seven Great Families were provoked by the Lin family at this time, completely disrupting our plans!" ”
Chu Nansheng was short of breath, and he couldn't help coughing in anger, and his handsome face was shocked.
He originally had no intention of joining the battle of the Heavenly Wind Forest, but seeing the Heavenly Wind Forest fighting together gave him a lot of convenience.
The Chu family and the Lin family have always regarded each other as their biggest enemies because of the position of the head of these eight families, and they want to reduce each other by any means. And if the Chu family wants to break through the Lin family, the biggest obstacle for many years is the man Lin Jingyun, so his intention to send troops this time is not to grab goods, but to kill Lin Jingyun!
Originally, he was full of confidence, but how did he expect this result, it was completely unexpected.
Infighting?! In this regard, he could only smile coldly. It seems that he still underestimates the current strength of the Lin family......
Trying to suppress his anger, taking a deep breath, Chu Nansheng resumed his previous voice: "Are there any casualties this time?" ”
The man in the suit trembled in his heart, and his voice was full of cowardice: "Casualties...... More than half! ”
"Boom!!"
The terrifying sound of the case scared the man who knelt directly on the ground, and Zhusheng, who came from the house with water, thought that something had happened to the master, and was so shocked that he threw the basin directly into the house, but this time he went in to realize that it was the master who was angry.
"You say, what is the use of me leaving you this waste?!"
Hearing this, the man in the power suit raised his head in shock: "Master, no, the people of this operation were carefully selected by their subordinates, and there were no casualties originally, until a woman in white was killed halfway, and we fell short!" ”
Chu Nansheng raised his eyebrows, and a cold light gathered in his eyes: "The woman in white? Who is it?! ”
Hearing that the anger in the master's tone rested for a while, but the man in the strong suit didn't dare to rest assured for a moment: "That woman's subordinates don't know her, and I haven't seen her in the past eight family battles, but I heard that the people of the Lin family around her call her 'Fifth Miss'!" ”
