The tiger cavalry attacked the Zhen family's camp at night, and the movement had already alarmed the other major families camped under Tiandu Peak.

The Fan family can be slower, but the other major families in the three counties of Xiling do not have the guts.

The families who can participate in the mountain sacrifice ceremony are at least the big families who have lived in Xiling for nearly a hundred years, and these families must not only take deep roots in Xiling, but also have a certain strength, otherwise they will not even be qualified to participate in the mountain sacrifice ceremony.

In fact, these people under Tiandu Peak can completely control everything in Xiling.

Any one of these families is a strong party and has enough authority and strength in the local area, but they can only bow down and obey orders in front of the three major surnames of Xiling.

Xiling's family pattern has been formed many years ago, the three surnames are at the top of the tower, no other family dares to think of the three major gates to challenge, even if some families have the heart to take over, but they don't have that kind of strength, and they don't have that kind of courage.

At night, when the sound of killing was everywhere, many people already knew that something was wrong.

Some people even find their horses immediately, not wanting to find out what is going on, only knowing that the farther away from the place of right and wrong is better, and they leave in a hurry.

And many more are hiding in their tents, not even daring to probe.

But after all, there are still a very small number of people who have some guts, figure out what is going on, and know that the Yuwen family and the Zhen family are fighting, they don't know why these two families are fighting each other, but they know that this kind of battle is definitely not something they can get involved in, and the best way is naturally not to get involved in the tent.

Yuwen Chengchao shot Shi Ling, his face solemn.

He knew that Shi Ling was strong, but he didn't expect him to be that strong.

Besieged and killed by hundreds of elite tiger riders, Shi Ling was not only able to protect Changxin Hou safe and sound, but even killed more than a dozen tiger riders.

He was very annoyed in his heart.

Although he was born in a family of gate valves, he has more of a Jianghu spirit.

In tonight's siege, he single-handedly arranged for people to ambush, and he also thought about arranging archers to shoot Shi Ling and Changxinhou directly, but thinking that more than 100 people went to besiege only two people, and they had to use bows and arrows, they really had no face, and he was confident that under the siege of the tiger horse, Shi Ling would not last long at all.

But after all, he still underestimated this Zhongtian Realm master.

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't make another move, even if he could kill Shi Ling tonight, he would still have to lose a lot of manpower.

Tiger riding is the capital of the Yuwen family, and he doesn't want to lose too much.

Male and female arrows are his housekeeping skills, and not many people know about them.

He knew that with Shi Ling's ability, Shi Ling could easily deal with an arrow shot over, and to deal with such a master, he could only use male and female arrows, a bow and two arrows, but the two arrows were instantly spaced, one before the other, Shi Ling could deal with the first arrow, but it was impossible to think that there was a second arrow following closely.

Male and female arrows, Yuwen Chengchao practiced for nearly twenty years, I don't know how much effort was spent, when the arrows were shot, he knew that Shi Ling would definitely die.

Shi Ling was pierced through the heart by an arrow and lay on the ground, when Changxinhou rushed over with Zhen Yujiang's head in his arms, Shi Ling was already breathless, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Seeing that Shi Ling was dead and his last protection had disappeared, Changxin Hou knew that the time limit had come, so he laughed angrily, looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said: "Shi Ling is right, the people of the Yuwen family are all despicable and shameless, and they ..... hurt people with secret arrows!" ”

"The people of the Zhen family have never been righteous and awe-inspiring." Yuwen Chengchao did not speak

, but a voice came from behind him, and a figure slowly walked out from behind Yuwen Chengchao, and it was Changyi Hou Yuwenyan.

"You're finally out." Chang Xinhou's eyes were full of resentment: "Yuwen Yan, why are you doing this?" ”

The old marquis of Yuwen said lightly: "I am a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and since I know that someone is going to rebel, I naturally want to exterminate the traitors for the court." ”

"Rebellion?" Changxin Hou said: "You mean that the Zhen family wants to rebel?" ”

"If it weren't for the Zhen family's rebellion, how could the Yuwen family attack the Zhen family?" The old Marquis of Yuwen sighed: "In the change of Wutuo back then, we were ashamed of the Tang Dynasty, but the sage was still great to us. The Yuwen family's gratitude to the saint, in fact, can you Zhen family understand? For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, the Yuwen family can be shattered, Zhen Huaqing, you colluded with the Vedic people and plotted to rebel, since my Yuwen family knows, naturally I can't stand by and watch, and I will definitely exterminate the thieves for the imperial court. ”

Changxin Hou said sharply: "Yuwen Yan, you framed you, when did my Zhen family collude with the Wutuo people?" You spew blood, and you are good at swords, and the court knows it, but it can't spare your Yuwen family. ”

"You want evidence, but unfortunately the evidence won't be handed over to you." The old marquis of Yuwen was calm: "Tonight, the old man will write a recital, together with the evidence of the Zhen family's rebellion, and immediately send it to Kyoto to present it to the saint." ”

Changxin Hou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, as if he understood something, laughed and said, "I see, hahahaha...... Yuwen Yan, you are really yīn sinister and despicable. What kind of bullshit incriminating evidence, it must have been forged by your Yuwen family. He looked down at the head of Zhen Yujiang in his arms, and said hatefully: "Yuwen Yan, I understand your thoughts, you want to use the head of the Zhen family to ask the court for merit and reward, thinking of using this to resolve the court's resentment about that incident back then." ”

"Suppress thieves for the country, and never care about any reward." Old Marquis Yuwen said lightly.

Changxin Hou laughed and mocked: "You think that stepping on the head of the Zhen family can make the Yuwen family and the imperial court give up their past suspicions, thinking that the Yuwen family can still call the wind and rain, but it's a pity, it's a pity that it's .....!" ”

"What a pity?"

"Over the years, you have been afraid of the imperial court settling accounts after the autumn, so you came up with such a means." Marquis Changxin's eyes were full of resentment, and he stared at the old Marquis of Yuwen and said: "You think you are very smart, and you also think that you have made such a contribution, even if the court still has grievances against the Yuwen family, it is not good to attack the Yuwen family again, after all, it is the hero of the empire, and the court will not easily attack the hero." He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you forgot, when we took Xiling from the imperial court, we were already doomed to be unable to go back." There is the Tang Dynasty in the east, there is the Wutuo in the west, and the Xiling can only survive in order to balance the left and right, and use the Wutuo to contain the Tang Dynasty, and also use the Tang Dynasty to balance the Wutuo, so that we can step on the single-plank bridge and not fall into the river, but unfortunately you want to let the Yuwen family get rid of such a situation, and you actually destroyed the single-plank bridge yourself, today our Zhen family fell into the river, and tomorrow it should be your Yuwen family's turn. ”

The old Marquis of Yuwen snorted coldly and said: "What kind of single-plank bridge, the Yuwen family has always been the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty behind them has nothing to fear." ”

"It looks like the wine has dulled your brain." Changxinhou sneered: "The three surnames of Xiling advance and retreat together, there is still room for maneuver, and now you have self-destroyed the foundation and used troops without authorization, Yuwen Yan, I am waiting for you underground." Picking up Shi Ling's knife, he glanced up at the night sky, and muttered, "Xiling is destroyed in the hands of your stupid old horseman." He put a knife on his neck and pulled it violently, cutting his throat instantly.

The corners of Old Marquis Yuwen's eyes twitched, and then he said in a deep voice: "Put these two heads in a box and send them to Kyoto together with the folds." ”

"Report to the Hou Ye, the chaotic army has been

Pacify. Yuan Shangyu walked up from outside the crowd and bowed down and clenched his fists: "In addition to the rebels who were killed on the spot, nearly a hundred people were captured, and I also asked the Hou Ye to deal with them." ”

"Imprisoned for the time being." The old marquis said in a deep voice: "Wait until the will of the imperial court comes down, and then it will be issued." ”

"Father, there are still hundreds of wolves riding over there in Zhen County, what should I do with it?" Yuwen Chengchao arched his hand.

The old marquis said: "The Zhen family's father and son and Shi Ling have been killed, and those hundreds of wolf riders dare not act rashly. Tonight, the fold is sent out, and the court naturally has a way to deal with it. Then he said, "According to that list, go and invite all the patriarchs here." ”

At the foot of Tiandu Peak, after a fierce battle, it finally calmed down.

The tiger rider tied up all the captives, specially set aside an open space, placed the wolf rider captives in it, and arranged for people to guard them.

The corpses of the wolf riders were piled up together and burned in a fire, while the tiger riders who died in battle put away the corpses and turned around to bury them again.

As for the heads of the Zhen family's father and son, they were packed in boxes, and the headless corpses of Changxin Hou were buried nearby.

When he first entered the son, more than 20 family patriarchs had already gathered in the tent of the old marquis of Yuwen, and everyone was in shock.

No one could have imagined that before the sacrifice to the mountain, there would be such a bloody scene, let alone that it was the Yuwen family who attacked the Zhen family.

The patriarchs of the family who were summoned by the old Marquis of Yuwen are all powerful local wealthy families, more than half of them are from Zhen County, and they have actually been the head of the Zhen family for many years.

Although the three major families of Xiling have always been regarded by many as allies to advance and retreat together, the three counties are independent, and the wealthy families of Zhen County naturally respect the Zhen family and advance and retreat together with the Zhen family.

These patriarchs of the wealthy clans in Zhen County are all afraid at the moment.

Outside the big tent of the old marquis of Yuwen, there were elite tiger cavalry guards, and behind him, the two brothers of Yuwen Chengchao were certainly among them, and the tiger cavalry commanders Yuan Shangyu and Qin Xiao were also among them.

Yuan Shangyu and Qin Xiao were both in armor, wearing swords at their waists, and a murderous aura rushed towards these wealthy patriarchs.

The patriarchs of Zhen County were nervous, the father and son of the Zhen family were killed, they really didn't know what the Yuwen family was going to do next, did they want to wipe out the wealthy family of the Zhen family?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have disturbed you tonight." Old Marquis Yuwen sat behind the desk, raised his hand and said, "Let's sit down first." ”

The patriarchs looked at each other, but how dare they disobey, and sat down on the left and right.

"You must be very strange, why did the old man send a tiger horse to kill the Zhen family." Old Marquis Yuwen sighed: "If it was a last resort, it would not have come to this point." As you know, I have been friends with Changxinhou since we were young, and the relationship between the two families has always been good, but the old man never thought that Changxinhou would actually do something to plot treason, and the old man can turn a blind eye to other things, but the crime of treason, the old man can't turn a blind eye to anything. ”

"Old ..... Old Marquis, do you mean that the Zhen family is treasonous? A patriarch of the Hao clan of Zhen County couldn't help but ask, "But what evidence is there?" ”

The old marquis of Yuwen glanced at Yuwen Chengchao on the side, Yuwen Chengchao took out two letters from his arms, and said: "Some of you seniors may already know that not long ago, the Tang City of the White Wolf Department of Wutuo was destroyed, and I was sent by my father to go to Wutuo, and I was lucky to find two secret letters from the begging mansion of the White Wolf Department. "Two letters were sent to the chiefs.
