Chapter 373: Black Thorn's Compromise
The residence of the Black Thorn family is located next to the Black Thorn Distillery. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This place originally belonged to a piece of the Rift Territory, but it was later bought by Ma Wen at a high price and used as a base for the Black Thorn family to make a fortune. On one side is the residence, and on the other side is the winery, which is convenient for supervision and protection of the winery from malicious damage by competitors.
The living room is also the place where Ma Wen usually gathers her subordinates for meetings. It was already full of people by this time. Some family members who are dissatisfied with Ma Wen and are maliciously suppressed by Ma Wen are mostly at this time.
"Elder, Master Marven has been surrounded by that Harald and his people." It was a personal male entourage of Ma Wen who spoke, just like a little secretary on Earth. Seeing that the situation was not good outside, he immediately fled back to bring in the rescuers. So naturally, I didn't see the scene of Ma Wen's head being cut off later.
"Humph! This is Ma Wen's own fault! A middle-aged man stood up and said confidently. For the sake of our family, we should be conservative at this time and wait for the final judgment of the lord's eldest son! ”
This man was the former winery's cellar director, Ilman, or Ilman Blackthorn. He couldn't stand what Ma Wen did for a long time, but it was more out of coveting Ma Wen's position.
"Lord Ilman, ...... you" Ma Wen's little secretary immediately stopped when he heard this, and he looked fiercely at the man in front of him who was much older than himself.
"Hmph, you're just a little white face raised by Ma Wen on the bed, what qualifications do you have to scold me here!" Yilman said coldly before the little secretary's words were finished. The tone was full of disdain and disdain.
When the little secretary heard Yilman say this, his face turned white with a brush. Ma Wen is also a woman, he is indeed the little white face raised by Ma Wen, and he is not the only little white face raised by Ma Wen. However, this kind of thing is usually regarded as unaware of it, and he also relies on Ma Wen's right to threaten these people. I didn't expect someone to point out this matter today!
"Enough!" One of the three elders of the Black Thorn Clan obviously couldn't stand it anymore, and he let out a shout to forcibly end the topic.
"Illman! At this time, you don't go to your winery to be your wine supervisor, come here to join in the fun! "This elder belongs to the pro-Marwen faction, so naturally he will not agree with Yirman's words.
"Second child, wait first, we have to be cautious at this time!" The third elder was Yilman's own uncle, and it was naturally very upset to see his nephew being scolded like this by others......
Outside the winery, Serlund arrived with more than two hundred guards, and smiled disdainfully at the closed door in front of him.
"Lord Sellund, we have personal matters to attend to now, and it is inconvenient to receive foreign guests." Seeing that the second son of the lord came over with a large number of people, although the gatekeeper was panicked, his momentum was not too weak.
"Yo? Personal? Sellund scoffed, then threw an object at the doorman on the wall.
The brown blood had solidified, and the look on his face had been deformed, but the doorman still recognized it. Isn't this the pillar of their Black Thorn Family, Lord Marwen?!
"Tell the people inside that Marven Black Thorn intends to rebel, and the lord's eldest son Harald has already killed Qi, and since his intention to rebel is not known to outsiders, we only implicate his direct lineage, not the entire Black Thorn family! Tell those who are inside to send out the people we want. Otherwise, when my guards from Rift Valley invade, you will wait to destroy the Clan!" As the guard was shocked, Sellund spoke again.
The sound pulled the guard out of his panic, and he hurriedly grabbed Marwen's head and rushed to the living room.
At this time, in the living room, the people of Black Thorn were still arguing.
"I propose to lead our family's eight hundred private soldiers to rush in and rescue Lord Ma Wen!" When the second elder said this, he was full of anger. "Didn't the Dharma-making family want us to rebel early? We'll show them! Anyway, we still have the backing of the empire! ”
"Second Elder, are you going to take our entire family to death?! If we fail, then the whole family will be doomed! This meeting had turned into an argument before the elders, and the main figures of the clans below were all silently watching, not saying a word.
"What could it be like to fail! His Rift Force's active team is now less than a thousand, and if we have 800 people here to attack by surprise, the defenses inside will inevitably be broken by us! The second elder looked confident.
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. Yes, after all, now that the lord's army is already in a state of exhaustion, it is indeed very likely that they will gain control of the entire rift if they send their private soldiers by surprise...... It's the whole Rift! Everyone is ready to move, and the two factions are fighting, and there are always other neutral idlers, and these idlers are often the targets of these two factions.
The corners of the Great Elder's mouth, which had been closed, twitched, and he just opened his mouth to make a final decision to end the meeting. But before he could speak, one of the guards ran in in a panic.
"Marwen...... Lady Marwen ...... "The guards are dressed in rough clothes, and they are in a hurry to speak. In the end, Ma Wen's head was directly thrown in the middle of the hall.
"This is ......" looked at the familiar head, and there was a gasp below. Marwen-sama? ”
"This ......" The Great Elder choked on what he wanted to say, and he stood up in disbelief and walked to the side of his head. It's really ......."
With the Great Elder's final confirmation, most of these family backbones, including the Second Elder, turned pale in an instant. Ma Wen is the object of their life, and now that Ma Wen is dead, they will instantly become a plate of loose sand!
"Lord Sellund said that Marven Black Thorn intends to rebel, and the lord's eldest son, Harald, has already killed Qi, and since his intention to rebel is not known to outsiders, they only implicate one direct line, not the entire Black Thorn family! Tell us to send out the people they want. Otherwise, wait until my Rift City guards come in...... They want us to ...... You want us to exterminate the race! When everyone was flustered because they saw Ma Wen's head, the words of the guard, who had just recovered his breath, hit everyone's hearts like a giant hammer.
Some people will not be threatened, but there are always a few masters in a family who seek comfort and have nothing to do with themselves, and there are always a few masters who covet the power of the upper class.
With the guard's words, the field was quiet again.
During this period, the three elders who reacted in advance hurriedly colored the Imman below. Yilman comprehended, stepped forward in two steps, and with a choked sound, he drew out his matching sword and stabbed it into the heart of the second elder who was in a sluggish state.
"What are you doing?!" The Great Elder looked at the scene in front of him and was furious, how could he turn around and the Second Elder was stabbed to death!
"Great Elder, give orders...... We are still focused on preserving the family...... Ma Wen's family ......" The third elder said this, and stopped talking. The implication can be imagined.
The Great Elder looked at the current Mu Yichengzhou, if he still chose to do the opposite, then he would inevitably destroy the branch of the Third Elder, which would be a big loss for his family. Not to mention the possibility that it will be more difficult to deal with the lord's army after doing so.
"Alas...... Yilman, you take someone to take over the Black Thorns and detain all of Marwen's henchmen inside...... If anyone dares to resist, rectify the Fa on the spot! The Great Elder sat down in a chair decadently, constantly rubbing his gray sideburns. The third one...... You sent someone to detain all of Ma Wen's immediate family...... And then...... Let the people of Sellund in......"
"Yes...... Great Elder. The third elder was already smiling at this time, ignoring the corpse of the second elder in front of him.
