For ordinary families, as old families with traditional roots that have been intertwined for many years, the first thing they care about will naturally be the interests of their own families, and other rulers are actually not important to these families. When he left the country and transferred the political center out, it was clear that he didn't want their family to continue to act recklessly like this. It is for this reason that the four major families who have left the country have expressed their support for the royal Chen family, which has formed a force that can confront the country. But in fact, as long as it is a family that lasts for a long time, how to see the wind and change the rudder is a very important thing.

Even without Kong Jian's reminder, Wang Ling at this time fully understood that the current situation was the best opportunity for them to show their allegiance to the country or the Qi country, and invest their capital in advance, even if they had to cut some of their interests in the future, they would still be able to accept it. And once they can't see the situation clearly, they may not face the loss of a part of their interests, but the risk that the entire family cave is in danger.

Although Wang Ling actually understood that Empress Chen Xinyu hated and even resented them because of her father, the main forces that supported the imperial family. But in fact, if any person in a position wants to sit firmly in his position, he must rely on power as a foundation, so ordinary people in a position like to reward members of their own family and use their own family as a foundation. But this obviously doesn't work for Chen Xinyu, whose biggest enemy is now her family. Then, what she can use as the foundation is their noble class.

So, after discussing with the elders of his family for an hour, Wang Ling resolutely decided to cooperate with Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Kong Hong. The four of them agreed on a plan to invite the king into the urn, take Wang Ren in one fell swoop, and then control the whole city. However, they also know that if they act rashly, they may fall short, and it is better to take it slowly and wait for the best opportunity to act. Anyway, they have plenty of time now, so they don't have to worry about running out of time.

And the reason why Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, supported Wang Ling and the Wang family, in addition to wanting to occupy Qicheng, there is also a key reason for this, which is the news told to them in Li Fu's secret letter last time, once their Qi army occupies this Qi city, they can directly lead the army to enter this place, and buy the foreshadowing for future negotiations with the country. So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, were very concerned about this matter, and even hid Kong Hong.

Compared with the unhurried attitude of Wang Ling, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Kong Hong, Wang Ren, who had just led the army to this place, was very anxious, and there was not much time left for him now. He himself is the son-in-law of the Wang family, and he is very clear about the attitude of the family, and the entire Qicheng and even the surrounding counties are controlled by the power of the Wang family. So, as soon as he returned to Qicheng, Wang Ren immediately went to visit the head of the family, speaking of which he was still the nephew of the head of the family, but Wang Ling was now determined, and he was indifferent to Wang Ren's painstaking persuasion and even pleading, but after all, they were relatives, and Wang Ling was not too much, so he was vague and said that he would discuss it for two days before giving him an answer. In fact, he was secretly preparing, preparing to directly capture Wang Ren in one fell swoop, and use Wang Ren's token and the power of the Wang family to further control the entire Qi City.

Of course, Wang Ling also knew that Merlin, who was now leading the army to this place, was going to send troops to defend the surrounding county towns, and the number of troops in the current period and a half must be less than 10,000, at most seven or eight thousand. With such an army, it is absolutely impossible to launch an attack on Qi Cheng, so for them, the greatest credit is to completely control Qi Cheng and give him an intact account. Wang Ling knows this.

In the evening today, the family came to Wang Ling's study to ask for a meeting, and in this study, Wang Ling was discussing the final deployment with Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Kong Hong in front of him. Today, Wang Ling held a grand banquet at his home to invite his nephew Wang Ren, who was now returning to his hometown, and then announced on the spot that their royal family would unconditionally support him in guarding Qicheng. And the arrival of this family member is to tell Wang Ling, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Kong Hong the news that Wang Ren came to visit and accepted this reception banquet as promised.

Of course, this is all a prelude, and it is naturally a disguised trapping method, first announcing these things in public that Wang Ren took lightly. Then Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, and Kong Hong came forward to control Wang Ren in one fell swoop, and found his troop transfer token, so that it could be completed logically.

When Wang Ren stepped into the family compound, he already felt that this compound was different now, surrounded by lights, and the maids who came and went were holding goblets or plates of seasonal melons and fruits, as well as cut exquisite beef and mutton, and plump green vegetables. When he saw these very grand dishes, Wang Ren's heart was already a lot more relaxed, after all, this was his own family, and it stands to reason that he should fully support himself.

Wang Ren had returned to his own family, so he only brought four guards to the banquet. At this time, a family member stepped forward and said with a smile: "The head of the family invites the son to go to the main hall, tonight's banquet is in the main hall, as long as the whole family is in Qicheng, the clan will participate, and please come with me." ”

Wang Ren now felt that the situation in front of him was not very serious, so he directly followed the family in front of him and walked quickly through the family compound and came to the main hall. In this Qicheng, the Wang family's family compound occupies an area of almost one-third of the entire Qicheng, and the size of this main hall is comparable to the size of the county government. Obviously, this is a kind of transgression hidden invisibly, but the royal Chen family can't restrain them.

However, now Wang Ren didn't care about this, when he walked into this hall, the head of the Wang family in front of him, Wang Ling, had already walked out quickly, and he said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew came at the right time, now that we are all basically here, just waiting for you, a distinguished guest!"

Wang Ren smiled slightly, he always felt that the sudden change in his uncle's expression and movements was a little obvious, but he couldn't see any flaws in it. The only thing that made him feel a little wrong was why everyone in the family now saw that he was so respectful. However, Wang Ren immediately dispelled this idea, maybe the people in his family figured it out, and now it must be better to cooperate with the visible interests of the Chen family of the royal family. So, Wang Ren was very unceremoniously led by Wang Ling to the top of the main hall, walked to the top and sat down, and slowly stared at the wine table below that could not be seen at a glance. Obviously, this is the existence of their Wang family, and it is completely a big family that can look down on the royal Chen family. Wang Ren walked over quickly, and the four guards behind him were invited to sit down for a banquet in the auxiliary hall where the servants and maids were.

As Wang Ren sat down, Wang Ling, who had walked to the throne, stood up and shouted: "Today, we are very honored that Wang Ren, the most outstanding in our family, who has served as the great general of the Chen family of the royal family, has returned to Qicheng, and now the task he brings is to unite our royal family against the Qi army that is about to invade our Qicheng. As far as I know, the current number of Qi troops is not large, and it is inevitable that the county towns that need to be garrisoned on both sides will inevitably be able to send a large army to attack our Qicheng. Now, the number of Qi troops is not as good as ours, we must be confident that we can defeat the Qi army in the fastest time and ensure the safety of Qi City! And this," Wang Ling pointed with his right hand, pointing to Wang Ren, who had just sat down beside him, and said, "This is our current hero, please stand up together, toast him with a glass of wine, and show our respect!"

After all the members of the Wang family sitting in this main hall heard Wang Ling's words, they all stood up and raised the wine glass in their hands, and said with a smile to Wang Ren in front of them: "The general is hard, we salute the general!" In fact, none of these family members didn't know the plan that the family was preparing to deal with Wang Ren now, but they were all quiet for the sake of their own family interests, they were very reasonable people, and they wanted this toasting action and words at this moment to be as if it were true.

Seeing the family members standing up in front of him, Wang Ren hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass in his hand and saluted: "Thank you for your love, and now please work together to help me defend this Qi city and block the march of the Qi army, so this is our credit!"

Wang Ling took Wang Ren's words and continued to shout: "Okay, now let's forget about these problems for the time being, and directly start our feast tonight!

The dozens of members of the Wang family sitting below had already begun to enjoy this very sumptuous dinner, and at this time, dozens of maids who had been waiting outside the corridor walked into the hall one after another with high plates. All of a sudden, the glittering lobby, lit by hundreds of candles lit around it, became bustling with activity. At the same time, at the end of this group of maids, a maid dressed as an unusual girl appeared. Ever since she entered this hall, the girl's eyes had completely stayed on Wang Ren, who was sitting first on the right.

This girl was none other than Kong Hong, who had already planned to assassinate Wang Ren secretly, and now she had already prepared everything and was waiting to deliver this final blow. And Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, were already in another auxiliary hall, and had already begun to secretly kill Wang Ren's four guards.
