Chapter Seventy-One: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
That night, Situ Yan arranged a low-key banquet for Situ Mo to celebrate his brother's return.
The atmosphere of the banquet was not very good, most of the people in Situ's family were not in the mood, and the situation was like this, so how could they be in the mood to eat, drink and have fun.
Some of them even felt that Situ Yan was not suitable to be the head of the family, and there was no sense of urgency at all, and the unhappiness was already overflowing, so they almost didn't say it.
Situ Yan saw the faces of the clansmen, and he could more or less guess the thoughts of the clansmen.
Indeed, his position as the head of the family is firmly seated, there is no intrigue and competition, and there is no burden related to life, compared to Lan Haotian, who is better than many brothers who ascended to the position of head of the family, he is not as good as martial arts, and he is not as good as scheming.
Now a mysterious son-in-law has inexplicably appeared next to Lan Haotian, with foresight and vision, and the gap between the authorities on both sides is even more obvious, which is why the two families have only been fighting for a short time, and they are in a one-sided situation.
But why doesn't he have his own hole cards?
His younger brother Situ Mo is a hole card, who has been dormant in the Lan family for more than thirty years as Lan Kuan, as Lan Haotian's personal guard, the important information he knows is not inferior to that of many high-level Lan family officials.
Where the Lan family has weak defense, where it is easy to attack, which people have no brains, which people are easy to bribe, every soldier, every grass and tree, has been exposed to it for many years, and it has been remembered early.
In terms of the long-term war of attrition, his Situ family is not as good as the Lan family. So what if it's an all-in bet?
Launching a full-scale surprise attack with such a familiar enemy situation, Situ Yan didn't believe that the Lan family could easily resolve it.
If the raid doesn't work out by then, then another and final hole card will be used, and if he can, Situ Yan tries to avoid touching it......
The dawn of the day takes away the night, and the next day arrives in a blink of an eye.
The city lord's manor, the city lord's hall.
The bodies of Situ Yi and Situ Lei are still in the hands of the Lan family, and according to the rules, they need to return the bodies of the two to the Situ family.
For a dead prisoner of war to return to his former home, this is the minimum respect for the opponent, no matter how big the grievances between the two sides.
In order to show his sincerity, he also needed someone to personally send Situ Yi and Situ Lei's bodies over.
For this meaningful task, Yang Yanfeng recommended himself.
At first, Lan Haotian and Lan Ling were strongly opposed, because he was currently of irreplaceable importance to the Lan family, but Yang Yanfeng used the excuse of "I will return the bodies of prisoners of war, and they will not embarrass me, because respect is on both sides, we have expressed sincerity, and they will not do despicable things", Lan Haotian couldn't help him, and finally could only agree.
In fact, Yang Yanfeng took the initiative to go to Situ's house for another purpose.
As a person who sent the corpses of prisoners of war, wouldn't the Situ family really not embarrass him? Not to mention that his identity is the new aunt of the Lan family, even if he is an unknown person, the Situ family may detain him and ask for something from the Lan family.
When the situation between the two sides is equal, they will play on the spot, and talk about mutual respect, once the situation between the two sides is obviously superior or bad, then this unspoken rule is like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© contract, which will be broken at the first stab.
What's more, Yang Yanfeng and Huang Jiukai also tortured Situ Lei's face to the point that it was unbearable, and their side had no sincerity at all in the first place.
But Yang Yanfeng sneaked into Situ's house for this purpose, it is better to say that he hopes that the people of Situ's family want to take him hostage.
This self-recommendation is actually a calculation.
With a wave of his hand, Yang Yanfeng easily incorporated the bodies of Situ Yi and Situ Lei into the cloud storage warehouse, and then called Huang Jiukai to go with him.
Huang Jiukai was extremely unhappy at first, the current relationship between the two sides can be described as fire and water, and now going to each other's lair is not equivalent to single-handedly breaking into the tiger's den in Longtan?
Well, it can also be said that the two swords are combined, but the result is not bad, and they will not escape from the dragon's claws and the tiger's mouth.
You're going to go by yourself, why are you going to die and pull me on your back!?
Who knew that Yang Yanfeng looked at him earnestly and said, "If I go to the city lord's side now to say that you are useless, do you think that his integrity will allow a thief who caused a murder in the Qinglou to stay in the Lan family?
The meaning is very simple, do you think the Situ family is the Longtan Tiger's Den, that's okay, the stable Lan family you live in now, I can also turn it into the Longtan Tiger's Den, both of them are Longtan Tiger's Den, you choose one yourself?
When Huang Jiukai heard this, he burst into tears.
This is blackmail!**Naked blackmail!
After beating Situ Lei to sell him together, Huang Jiukai didn't pursue it, but he didn't expect this product to speak with the first agreement again.
Huang Jiukai was unwilling, thinking that he had been playing hooligan bullies everywhere before, but he didn't expect to meet the real hooligan Yang Yanfeng, and the target of bullying was replaced by him.
is unwilling to return, since he is under the fence, he can only listen to people's orders, which he still understands.
Lan Haotian first sent a letter to Situ Yan, indicating that he was exchanging the corpses of Situ Yi and Situ Lei, and then the elated Yang Yanfeng rushed towards the Situ family's castle with the dejected Huang Jiukai.
Although Situ Mo has only been away from the Lan family for a day, the high-level leaders of the Lan family have no spare time to investigate the whereabouts of a personal guard, as for Lan Haotian, he doesn't need to get together with the five masters of the Lan family all day long to discuss business. But after a long time, it will always be noticed, so just in case, it is better to act as soon as possible.
As soon as the phantom brother's banquet of the Hui clan ended, Situ Yan gathered the elite forces of the whole clan together for a meeting.
Today is the second day of the Situ Mo Hui clan, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, they will be caught off guard when the Lan family has not expected it at all.
When the night covers the sky tonight, it is the time when the Situ family will attack the Lan family in an all-out way!
"Just now, Lan Haotian Feige passed a letter to me, saying that he wanted to return the bodies of Situ Yi and Situ Lei to us. Situ Yan looked at everyone, "What do you think?" β
Situ Hongpeng was the first to reply, "There are two possibilities. First, they came to deliver the bodies of the prisoners of war in order to express their sincerity in fighting without losing their sincerity; second, they had ill intentions and aimed to carry out a sneak attack on our people under the pretext of sending prisoners. β
Situ Yan nodded with satisfaction, "The analysis is very comprehensive. β
Situ Mo asked, "What if it's the second case?"
"What should we do?" Situ Yan smiled, "We originally planned to launch a general attack on the Lan family tonight, no matter what kind of situation they have, what do they have to do with us?"
Hearing this, Situ Mo and Situ Hongpeng both understood.
Indeed, the elite forces of the Situ family were all involved in tonight's operation, and the castle people of the Situ family went to the empty building.
If they sent the bodies of prisoners of war here to show their sincerity, then I'm sorry, we all have something to do today, please feel free to come here, and please forgive me for missing it.
If their purpose is to sneak attack, then it's a pity, are you sneaking into an empty city, and your hometown has been copied by us, and after raiding the house, we will lead the troops to suppress the battle and seize back the castle, then the city lord's manor and Situ Castle will be under the command of the Situ family.
The result of not being a routine is being a routine, and the result of a routine is being reversed by a routine, both horizontal and vertical are lost, what a wonderful plan!
"In addition, it is said that the person who came to deliver the bodies of the prisoners of war this time was the new aunt of the Lan family. β
As soon as these words came out, several members of the Situ family showed surprise on their faces, and Situ Miao, who had been expressionless, also had a glimmer of light in her eyes/
Situ Hongpeng couldn't help but ask, "Father, is the news reliable?" Lan Haotian would rest assured that he sent his son-in-law to do such chores?"
"Regarding this, I don't understand what kind of wishful thinking this Lan Haotian is making in his heart. β
However, this news is true, and what they don't know is that Lan Haotian didn't want to specify who the person who transported the corpses of prisoners of war was at first, but he didn't expect Yang Yanfeng, the little rabbit cub, to quietly mention his high surname in the letter.
If Lan Haotian knew, it is estimated that he would not hesitate to tear up the letter and rewrite it.
"Master of the house, tonight's general attack, please allow me to stay in the castle and guard my home. Situ Miao suddenly spoke, and the cold voice caused the temperature to drop by a few degrees.
Situ Yan frowned, "Didn't you understand what I said between you?" Mobilize all the combat power and attack the Lan family, this castle does not need to keep people except for the old and young women and children, not to mention that the five masters of our clan have broken three, and you, as one of the only two left, are even more indispensable combat power." β
"I was worried that when he came, he would disappear, and that in a fit of anger it would be detrimental to the old and young women and children who remained in the castle. Situ Miao insisted.
"Let's not talk about whether the person who came is really the new aunt of the Lan family, if the news is true, do you think you can save those old and young women and children?" Situ Yan asked rhetorically.
Situ Miao bit her red lips lightly, her strength was not as good as Yang Yanfeng, she naturally knew it in her heart, but she was unwilling, she was unwilling to admit her defeat since she was a child, and the last battle of Piaoxianglou was a shame for her, a stain that had to be washed with her own hands.
Seeing Situ Miao's appearance, Situ Yan sighed, "I know what you are thinking, I promised you before to create another one-on-one opportunity with him for you, but not now." Tonight's action is of great significance to our clan, and I hope you will be able to sacrifice the small and take the big from the big and put the interests of the family first. β
Situ Yan said everything about this, and Situ Miao didn't say anything more, but the unwillingness on her face was still missing.
Situ Miao has always been known as an iceberg beauty, she speaks little, and what she thinks in her heart is not beyond words, but her performance is so abnormal.
Seeing his sister like this for the first time, Situ Sen couldn't help but be curious, how capable is this new uncle of the Lan family?
