Chapter 208: Matriarchal Power
It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene in front of me as full of corpses and rivers of blood. In a huge imperial city, only beggars and ministers trapped in the palace are still alive. And the few who escaped their lives.
And Zhou Xun had already fled from the city gate on one side, and Lu Yuan personally collected Luoqiu's body. Including the few other people who had seen it there in Luoqiu, the rest of the people, whether they were enemy troops or people who had died tragically, were all buried in a large pit. After all...... There was no one to collect their bodies.
As soon as this incident came out, the reputation of the mother family represented by Zhou Xun was completely stinky. All the people in Chengchi, who are under the hands of the mother clan, do not want to escape. had no choice but to guard it tightly, and there were few people who really escaped.
"Ah Zhi, what do you want to do?" Ouyang Qian looked at Gu Muzhi, who was not good-looking, and was very worried, she was just an orphan and finally had some good friends...... Now only Gu Muzhi remains.
"What to do? You've heard that, too! Slaughtering the city, he actually did such a thing. It's disgusting!! ”
Even if he knew that Zhou Xun had something to do with the death of his parents, Gu Muzhi didn't disgust him so much, only the hatred hidden in his heart!
She really couldn't imagine why innocent people were involved. Wouldn't it be more time-saving to retreat directly?
Gu Muzhi didn't know what Zhou Xun thought, but she felt that she couldn't let her mother fall into Zhou Xun's hands. Although she doesn't like her mother either, she lets Zhou Xun go...... I'm afraid that more Chengchi will suffer the fate of slaughtering the city.
"I want to go back to my mother clan and disturb it, and I can't let it become a hall of words for Zhou Xun."
Gu Muzhi already knew that Zhou Xun had always let the elders and his faction send people to death on the battlefield, and now Gu Sanye's side was probably less than half, and only by cooperating with Yang Ke could he be able to sit on an equal footing with Zhou Xun.
"Okay, I'll send a message to Yang Ke." Ouyang Qian lowered her head, and she had already acquiesced in Luoqiu's tragic death in her heart.
"Do you know Yang Ke?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have the chance."
Looking at Gu Muzhi's surprised appearance, Ouyang Qian smiled slightly. In fact, she didn't like the current situation very much, if she didn't come along...... She is still the Ouyang Qian who flirts with the beauty.
After Gu Muzhi returned to her mother's clan, she was not in a hurry to fight for power and profit, she needed an opportunity. And the elders of the mother clan were mostly angry after realizing the power in Gu Muzhi's hands, they didn't expect that such a girl who didn't go out every day would have such a great ability.
They knew that Gu Muzhi was very powerful and could inherit his mother's family. But in their eyes, she was just a woman, and Gu Muzhi was deliberately low-key, so they ignored Gu Muzhi.
And Gu Muzhi is indeed different from the past, she used to do whatever she wanted. No matter how great your skills are, there will always be some mistakes, but not anymore.
She needs to take every step to achieve the ultimate victory, to become a winner, and to avenge the tragic death of her father.
Zhou Xun recovered from his injuries before returning to his mother's clan, what he didn't expect was that Gu Muzhi would be waiting for him here.
If there was anything wrong with his own injuries in that battle, it was Gu Muzhi.
Zhou Xun almost desperately wanted to tie up Gu Muzhi, and then bring him to Qin Boyong, asking him to bow his head and admit his mistake or even hand over everything in his hand.
"How many waves? Have you got all the evidence? Gu Muzhi is also helpless, is Zhou Xun's brain broken this time? She didn't give up wanting to catch herself, she was defenseless before, and she wanted to see what Zhou Xun's plans were.
"Miss, don't worry, I have already sorted out the things that Zhou Xun did and handed them over to a few elders." Yang Ke lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes, and now he couldn't help but be happy as long as he saw Zhou Xun's defeat.
The next day, the elders convene an elders' meeting.
Looking at the angry elders, Zhou Xun didn't feel anything, and now he didn't need to be afraid of these people.
"Zhou Xun! You see the good things you did, let our people go to death, I won't talk about it. After all, life and death are uncertain when marching and fighting, but you manipulate public opinion to harm the image of the mother clan in the hearts of the people, what is this for? ”
"Naturally, it's for power, otherwise for what? Since you won't let me take over my mother's clan, let him be a stumbling block in my path to success. ”
Zhou Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a smile. If you put it in the past, such a smile is undoubtedly charming and docile, and even looked down on because such an expression is too soft. But now, in the eyes of the elders, such a smile is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
They couldn't have imagined that the person in front of them had such great ambitions, and they could only use the mother clan as a stepping stone to seize the country.
"As long as you can hand over Gu Muzhi, I promise to spare your life. What do the elders think? ”
After listening to Zhou Xun's words, the elders looked at each other. If handing over a person could save their lives, they agreed.
But Gu Muzhi has Yang Ke and others in his hands, which ...... It is also a force that they cannot shake.
"Huh! Zhou Xun, do you have no one in my hands? Elder, now do you think you believe in Zhou Xun or believe in me Gu Muzhi? After all, I haven't done anything to harm the interests of my mother, but someone ...... Not only did the elders lose their troops, but they also ruined the reputation of the mother clan. ”
Gu Muzhi was late with people, she had already put down the power in her hands before, and she had no right to come here. But now...... She had no fewer people on her hands than the others present.
For the sake of greater interests, in order to have more chances of winning, the mother clan cannot be handed over to Zhou Xun. After all, they had no way to imagine a person who smeared the mother clan, if Zhou Xun had been killed by them in the past. And now...... They actually had to rely on Gu Muzhi.
After Gu Muzhi took power, she first cleaned up the power of the mother clan, but she was not easy to move the elders. If it moves, it will only cause a backlash from the clansmen.
After doing everything well, Gu Muzhi began to rebel. For example, call Qin Boyong to come.
"Miss Zhi, long time no see! Mind if I give you a pulse! You see you're thin now, and it's not good if there's something to hide......"
Lu Yuan knew that after Qin Boyong made an appointment to negotiate with Gu Muzhi, he would come over with a dead face. As soon as he saw Gu Muzhi appear, he pounced, making everyone present frown.
"Lu Yuan! If you want to live a few more years, just stay there! Qin Boyong couldn't get used to Lu Yuan's appearance, so he directly threw the person aside.
Gu Muzhi carved a lot of territory for Qin Boyong, as well as all kinds of evidence in his hands. After all, it was useless for her to keep them, and the mother clan didn't have that much energy to take charge of so many things now.
“…… Are you sure you want to do this? Qin Boyong found that he still couldn't understand Gu Muzhi, this kind of thing that was not beneficial to himself...... Why?
"Sure, I only hope that when the two armies are launched, His Royal Highness King Yong can bypass me and my men. King Yong, don't worry, we won't make a move. As for the others...... Gu Muzhi couldn't do anything. Gu Muzhi leaned over slightly and left, leaving no trace of affection.
