Chapter 353: The Wind Rises (Medium)
In order to resist the strong pressure from the Broken Army, under the leadership of the five major families led by the Zhao family, the Xu family, the Gao family, the Fan family, and the Li family, the heads of large and small families in Laizhou gathered in Yuxianglou, the largest restaurant in Laizhou City, to discuss countermeasures.

In an antique, fresh and elegant wing room on the second floor of Yuxiang Building, more than 20 richly dressed old men sat around a table and whispered something. The old man at the head was even more extraordinary, and his gestures exuded a momentum of not being angry and arrogant. I saw that the old man clapped his hands lightly and looked around at everyone, "Everyone, what the old man and several other family heads are doing when they invite you to come today, I think you all know very well in your hearts. In the past month, there has been a lot of shocking things happening in Laizhou, and many big families that have stood for a hundred years have died out in just a few days, which is really suffocating. ”
"Okay, Patriarch Zhao, the big guy didn't come here today to listen to you in this sad spring and summer. If you have anything to say, please say it directly, don't beat around the bush! Before Patriarch Zhao finished speaking, an old man sitting at the head of him impatiently interrupted Patriarch Zhao's words and urged repeatedly
Patriarch Zhao's face remained unchanged and said, "Since Mr. Xu has spoken, then the old man will say it!" Now the situation in Jiaozhou is very critical. The purpose of this gathering is to gather the strength of everyone to discuss a solution to the crisis. If any of you have a good idea, you might as well speak up and help the big guys! ”
Hearing Patriarch Zhao's words, everyone was silent for a while, and now everyone knew the news of the Broken Army's overwhelm, otherwise they wouldn't have come here for a while. But when it comes to solutions, they still don't have a good solution in mind. Everyone has tried the methods that can be used, and there is no gain except for the bleeding of the head.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Patriarch Zhao was not in a hurry, but calmly picked up the teacup on the table and tasted it slowly. Just when everyone was in great distress, a voice suddenly remembered in the crowd, "Patriarch Zhao said lightly, deal with it!?" How to deal with it? Who doesn't know that now the 5,000-strong army of the Breaker Army is stationed on the border of Laizhou. If anyone dares to make the slightest move, the Broken Capture Army will pour out, and who of you here will be able to block the frontal attack of this tiger and wolf army? ”
Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, and then began to talk in a whisper. Everyone thinks that what the Fan family master said is also what they are worried about. Everyone knows very well who the 5,000-strong army of the Broken Captives will come from, so everyone has trouble sleeping and wants to negotiate a way to break the situation.
Glaring at the Fan family master fiercely, Patriarch Zhao coughed dryly and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this, Fan family master?" Could it be that other people's knives are on their necks, and we are just waiting for death? The Broken Army is very strong, this is not denied, but it is precisely because they are so strong that we must unite and fight against Liu Fan and the Broken Army together. ”
"Poof", Fan Fenghan couldn't help but sneer, "Just because we people still want to fight against tens of thousands of other people's army?" That's ridiculous, isn't it? Who here is not in the know what happened in Jiaozhou the year before last? The Yan family, the descendants of the thousand-year-old Wang clan Yan Hui, was still slaughtered by Liu Fan, and you ask yourself, who here is deeper and more powerful than the Yan family? The Yan family's efforts can't pose a threat to Liu Fan, even if we gather together, what can we do just to give people a chance to catch them all! ”
Hearing the remarks of the Fan family master, everyone changed color. I know my own situation, the most powerful among them is just the family that has risen in the past few hundred years, how can it be compared to the Yan family? The hearts of the crowd couldn't help but start beating drums. Without waiting for others to think about it, Fan Fenghan continued to say in a deep voice, "It's okay if it's just a Yan family, but if Liu Fan can gain a foothold in Jiaozhou, does he just defeat a Yan family?" The bigwigs in the DPRK secretly instructed Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, to attack Jiaozhou, presumably everyone has contributed a lot, right? What do you think? Isn't Liu Fan alive and well? Just this year, Liu Fan swept through the Central Plains with a division of less than 5,000, and the thieves he fought were defeated. And we now have to deal with more than just 5,000 battles. It's 30,000 people! Confrontation, on what basis? Is it just those family members who can't even beat the mud legs? ”
"Bang" Patriarch Zhao slapped the table, glared at Fan Fenghan fiercely, and said, "What does this mean by the Fan family master?" Do you want to abandon the big guy and run away? ”
"Hehe..."Fan Fenghan smiled and said, "Patriarch Zhao, don't say it so ugly!" What kind of escape, Fan is just judging the situation and has some self-knowledge. Hitting a stone with an egg, knowing that it can't be done, Fan will not do such a thing! There is not only one Laizhou in the world that can live, so why do you have to fight to the death with that Liu Fan? It's better to pack up your belongings and stay away from here, where is Jiangnan, Sichuan, and Huguang not a splendid place? Where can the greatness of the Ming Dynasty not be tolerated? ”
Patriarch Zhao was furious and said, "Shameless! Fan Fenghan, you are a bad seed, you don't want to fight the enemy together at the moment, it's just that you are still here to bewitch the public, what kind of heart do you have? I think you are a spy sent by Liu Fan, and you are here to make trouble for us! ”
Fan Fenghan pursed his lips disdainfully: "Old man Zhao, if you want to die yourself, don't drag us to death together!" Today, Fan's words are here. If you want to die by yourself, you will not be accompanied! Hum! Master Li, let's go! After Fan Fenghan finished speaking, he arched his hand towards everyone, and strode away without looking back!
After Fan Fenghan left, the head of the Li family also confessed and said, "You guys can't help it, our Li family has a small business, and we really can't accompany you to go down!" Say goodbye, say goodbye! ”
After the head of the Li family left, some wavering small families also quietly followed the footsteps of the two and left the wing. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen people left in the originally lively wing. Looking at the empty wings, the head of the Xu family couldn't help frowning and said, "Old Patriarch Zhao, what should we do with the rest of these people?" Do you want to avoid the edge like Fan Fenghan for the time being? ”
Patriarch Zhao poured a sip of tea fiercely, trying to suppress the anger that was almost boiling in his heart, and sighed, "Let's go!" The one surnamed Fan and we are not all the way after all, it's okay to go, pure! ”
"But..."
Patriarch Zhao waved his hand, stopped the words of the head of the Xu family, and said in a deep voice: "The Fan family and the Li family started as businessmen, they can leave, but we can't!" Which of you here is not a man with a family and a business? If we're gone. What should our people do? (To be continued.) )
