Chapter 1264: Seeking Opportunities
The painter's mansion was unusually deserted at this time, and the people before it had already dispersed on their own.
The first to leave was the mysterious man in black, who could only be regarded as a voice to everyone, neither explaining why he was leaving, nor explaining his opinion, as if he had come here to sit casually, and when he had sat enough, he naturally planned to leave.
When the mysterious man in black left, he inadvertently glanced at Jin Duo, and there was a lot of meaning in his eyes. It's just that Jin Duo doesn't know the person in front of him, he only knows that the original Inner Hall Qu Li Elder is also very respectful to the black-clothed mysterious person in front of him, which is enough for him to be careful with the person in front of him.
Jin Duo could only grasp one of the meanings of this mysterious man, which was to let him leave here quickly. Therefore, Jin Duo is the second group of people who got up to say goodbye after the mysterious man in black.
After Jin Duo left the painter with the people, he didn't see the mysterious person, so he could only go to a stronghold in Fengyan Hall and the purple and yellow auction house to wait for news according to the explanation Qu Li had made before the original action.
Although the Bloodthirsty Hall itself does not have much strength, the Thousand Illusions Sect behind it is not Xuan Hong and Onizuka, and the existence that these people dare to offend.
The two ghost painters originally did not have the strength to compete with the Thousand Illusions Sect, even if they wanted to deal with the Thousand Illusions Sect in the future, what was needed was a joint action by multiple forces.
At present, the two major families who have lost their troops among the Su family have no strength to compete with the Thousand Illusion Sect, so there is no way to face their departure.
Xuan Hong brought people from the Fengtian Dynasty here, and his purpose was already very obvious, wanting to use the powerful power of the Fengtian Dynasty to directly bring the two ghost paintings under his command.
In this way, after the war of the Su family, the two ghost painting families plummeted, but Xuanhong rose and became more powerful.
Maybe Xuan Hong originally had a two-handed plan, and if the three families of Yao Su Wang were defeated, they would be in a situation like today's ghost painting two families. It is very likely that Xuan Hong will directly take the people of the Fengtian Dynasty to "visit" these three families and put them under his hands.
And if there is any accident, that is, the situation in front of everyone today, and the two families of the painters are defeated, he will bring the people of the Fengtian Dynasty here to "clean up the mess".
The head of the ghost family did not give an answer immediately, but after hesitating for a long time, he proposed to return to the family and give an answer after discussing with the only remaining high-level members of the existing ghost family.
Although Xuan Hong was a little dissatisfied with this somewhat delaying approach, he did not prevent him from leaving. However, before leaving, Xuan Hong also gave a final deadline, that is, when the final competition of the selection of medicine was made, the ghost family must have a choice.
Onizuka left the painter, leaving the head of the painter's family, Kamoto, alone to face the people of Genhiro and the Mukden Dynasty. Maybe the ghost family still has an excuse to delay temporarily, but at this moment, everyone is in the painter, and Huayuan really can't find any excuse to delay, and even Huayuan Xuanhong is not polite at all, asking him to make a decision immediately.
At this moment, Huayuan was sitting alone in the empty hall, rubbing the palms of his hands heavily on his forehead, as if he wanted to rub off the scalp of his forehead directly with his palms.
After a long time, Hua Yuan sighed heavily and said in a deep voice, "You all come in." ”
There were already people waiting outside the hall, and when they heard the call of the head of the family, they walked in. Among them were the remaining three of the painter Five Tigers, as well as three elders, but these six people all had some injuries on their bodies at this time.
The painter's original strength is very special, and the painter's five tigers together can be regarded as a painter's handsome, but at this time, there are two less, and the combat effectiveness is also reduced. In addition to this, the elder combat power of the painter itself is not as good as that of the ghost family.
If it weren't for the fact that the painter's painting strength was slightly higher than that of Onizuka, I'm afraid that the painter would be at the bottom of the six major families.
The six people in front of him walked into the hall with a dejected face, and none of them sat down, just standing in the hall with their hands down.
"You should have heard our conversation, and although I have agreed to their request, I still want to hear what you mean. After all, this painter is not my painter alone, and you also know that if he really gets together with Xuanhong in the future, the painter will always be only a dog of his Xuanhong in the Xuanwu Empire, not to mention the previous scenery. ”
When he said the word "dog", Hua Yuan's face couldn't help twitching, because when he was chatting with Onizuka, he had said that there would still be a lord of Xuanwu in the future, and the lord of the country would still be Xuanhong, but he would only be a dog raised by two families, a Xuanwu watchdog.
Now that the world has changed, the original rhetoric has become a joke for himself, how can he not feel pain in his heart.
The painter's great elder glanced up at Hua Yuan, and said sadly: "The decision made by the head of the family is also for the consideration of the painter, how can we people not understand the difficulties of the head of the family, and how can we blame the head of the family in turn."
Xuanhong's wolf ambition and coveting the power of the entire Xuanwu Empire is not a day or two, if it weren't for the Su family's actions this time, we would never have been able to get into the current situation. ”
While the Great Elder spoke, the painter's remaining "Three Tigers" turned their heads to look at them at the same time, with a faint hint of anger in their eyes.
In general, in addition to the head of the family, the marshals of each family have the most rights, and their rights are even higher than the elders. Although in some families, the strength of the elders themselves is above that of the marshal, but because their prestige and popularity are not as good as the marshal, they will also respect the opinions put forward by the marshal.
However, the situation of the painter is more special, because the painter is a five-person person who shares the position of marshal. After the five of them joined forces, their strength was also above that of many elders, so they had the right to override the elders.
But now that the Five Tigers have lost two of them, their strength has been greatly reduced compared to before, and the Great Elder immediately stopped taking it in his eyes, and at this time, he even rushed to speak in front of him, in order to show that his current identity is more respectful.
Among the five tigers, the eldest painting Gao and the third painting Xiaotian, these two were the main figures in dealing with Zuo Feng at the beginning, but as a result, these two people also became the target of killing in the Su family's arrangement.
Now the most advanced of the remaining five tigers is the second elder painting, he glared at the painter elder hatefully, and then said: "Lord of the family, the most important thing for painters now is to preserve their strength, waiting for the opportunity to fight back, we may not have a chance to turn over." ”
Hua Yuan was slightly stunned, looked at the painting and said, "In your opinion, the painter has reached the point where he is now, does he still have the power to fight back?"
The painting nodded and said: "Actually, the opportunity is right in front of you, although Xuan Hong has united Huang Tao of the Fengtian Dynasty, he also has the help of the people of the Thousand Illusion Sect. But which of these people has no selfishness of their own, and when it really comes to the critical moment, will they really sit together in harmony and share the spoils? ”
Seeing that Hua Yuan's face softened slightly, the painting form became a little more confident, and continued: "In addition, the medicine camel should also be a variable, this time the old fox did not directly intervene in this Su family operation, and he didn't see any movement afterwards.
The medicine camel is so calm and angry now, but it shows his bad intentions even more. Coupled with the fact that the three families of the King of Yao Su are now incompatible, this battle is really unpredictable in the end. We first deal with the Xuan Hongxu and the snake, and then improvise at the critical time. ”
At this point, the painting glanced at the Great Elder coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and continued: "And now the situation of the ghost family is roughly the same as ours, if the two of us can join forces, and the people who have been summoned back from all over the empire, there will still be a fight at a critical time. ”
The Great Elder's face was a little ugly, although he rushed to speak, but he didn't say anything to make a difference, but he looked more like a fool under the analysis of the painting.
At this time, he hurriedly continued: "The head of the family has a lot to do in this matter, we might as well agree to Xuan Hong's invitation first, as long as we preserve our strength in these battles, we will have the hope of turning over." ”
Hua Yuan listened quietly, the decadence on his face gradually disappeared, and a fierce color gradually appeared in his eyes. It's just that when he looked up at the few people below, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The painter's clansmen have not been united for many years, especially after the Five Tigers became the marshal, and after several elders were dissatisfied, they had been suffering from internal friction for many years. He saw the change in his expression when he was arguing between them just now, but he could only pretend not to see it.
Waving his hand, Hua Yuan said: "You guys go first, hurry up and contact those of my painting family who have returned to the imperial capital, and then secretly arrange them to be in the industry that my painter has not exposed." ”
Several people hugged their fists one after another, although the elder and the three tigers were at odds in private, but at this time, they were in unison, after all, the family was in great trouble, and they had to go to the family together.
Just when the painter's side had already agreed, within the ghost family, the ghost mound had also gathered the family members together.
Onizuka looked at the handsome ghost tide and the four elders, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. Different from the discord between the elders and handsomes on the painter's side, the three elders of the ghost family are still very convinced of the ghost family.
"You see that we really have the possibility of cooperating with them, you must know that Xuan Hong doesn't dare to really take my ghost family under his command now, we at least have a chance to breathe, and joining forces with the painter may not be impossible to turn the tables. ”
Speaking of this, Onizuka sighed, looked around the people present and continued: "If those people can really cooperate with us, it will be fine, but if they also want to take us under our command like Xuan Hong, won't we still be in an embarrassing situation at that time." ”
Seeing Onizuka's hesitant appearance, Onichao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. What a hero the head of the ghost family was at the beginning, and his courage and open-mindedness were rare among the people he had seen.
But after the fiasco of the Su family, the head of the family, Onizuka, became timid, and he was still hesitant when the matter was approaching.
The ghost tide raised his head and said proudly: "The head of the family can rest assured, they are by no means the powerhouses of the Ghost Pavilion of the Ancient Desolation, and they are not even as powerful as our ghost family in the Ancient Desolation, even if they borrow their courage, they dare not want to swallow our ghost family, and please rest assured." ”
