Chapter 83: Reactions from all sides
The news of the Dugu family's destruction by a mysterious person quickly spread throughout the city, and according to eyewitnesses of the four surviving family representatives, it was a mysterious man armed with a black and white sword. For a while, all kinds of rumors arose, some said that it was a folk mysterious master, and some said that it was a killer secretly cultivated by a certain family, and that all other families in Shangcheng would be wiped out and unified in Shangcheng...... Believe it or not, all the families have strengthened the gathering place within the clan and spread the clan as far as possible so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Dugu family.
And the second son of the Dugu family, who was spread in the upper echelons of the city and was said to have escaped, no one paid attention to him after a secret search in the whole city for a period of no results. Because at this time, a more important news was thrown, which instantly detonated the whole city - the Dongfang family made a high-profile comeback, claiming that the mysterious man was the fiancΓ© of the current head of the family's sister, and would help the Dongfang family return to the ranks of the three major families with a population of three million......
As soon as the news came out, the major families showed different reactions for a while.
In a new-style courtyard of Murong's house, one sat in the house and carefully sipped the tea in front of him, and only after a long time did he ask the two middle-aged people sitting in front of him, "What do you think?" β
"I don't think the newcomers have any ill intentions, as can be seen from their support for the Eastern Family and their attempts to integrate into the Upper City. And the extermination of the Dugu family can only be said to be a grudge between two families, and it has not hurt other families, so we don't have to be nervous. And with the collapse of the Dugu family, the balance between the family and the official forces has also been broken, and there is bound to be a new family to replace the position of the Dugu family, otherwise all our family will be in danger. And that new force is strong, maybe it can help our family to occupy an advantage in terms of facing the official. β
After listening to the middle-aged man's speech, the old man was noncommittal, blew a few sips of tea in the cup, and looked up at the other middle-aged man: "Wuji, your brother Yanchen thinks he can trust them, what do you think?" β
"Hmph, I don't think so."
The other middle-aged man had a lean face like a knife, and a pair of sharp eyes sometimes had a cold light released, "Maybe this is just their trick to confuse the enemy, today they can deal with the Dugu family with personal grievances, and tomorrow they can have a conflict with us, and then get rid of us...... Until all the threatening forces are eliminated, and then the Dongfang family is kicked away, wouldn't it be better to dominate the upper city alone? β
The old man frowned and remained silent.
"Big brother, why do you think everyone is so conspiratorial? If they really have this ambition, when they were in the Dugu family, why didn't they get rid of the four medium-sized families of Weiliu and Wuding together? He had every reason to do so, and the other families couldn't say anything about it. Murong Yanchen retorted.
"You think they don't want to? There is a saying that it is not said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but now it is uncertain who is the dragon and who is the snake, and the reason why they don't do it is because they are afraid that everyone in the upper city will be in danger, and then they will be excluded. The outer city area is in ruins, there is no electricity and no food, how long can they hold on? said that he would give three million people to the Dongfang family as a dowry, but the army was all his subordinate forces, and Dongfang Yue became his people again, and then the entire Dongfang family was not what they said! It's a good anti-guest, and they have successfully integrated into Shangcheng, can't you see their ambitions, are you a fool? β
Murong Wuji's voice echoed throughout the hut, and the loud voice showed his full confidence, and the old man raised his head when he heard it.
However, at this time, Murong Yanchen's voice sounded immediately, and he also said in a very loud voice: "Big brother! They cannot be convicted by speculation, they are not malicious, at least in terms of their actions. Big brother, don't forget, the foreign enemy Zerg is imminent, from the perspective of time, it is very likely that the next few days will come, do you think that the human race will have internal strife at this time, and tens of millions of people will be buried with you? β
The corners of Murong Wuji's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he didn't continue to speak.
The old man finally nodded at this time: "Although the Dugu family and my family have some friendship, but this matter is very important, and it can't be dealt with hastily, let's wait and see what happens." β
In the Manor of the North Underworld, the villa building of the Oriental Family.
"Sister Yue, I didn't expect your fiancΓ© to be so powerful, and it was very ordinary to compete with me that day. But anyway, congratulations first, the revival of the Dongfang family is hopeful, and let Xiaoliang marry seventeen or eighteen in the future, and he will soon be able to spread out, and his children and grandchildren will be full. Bei Mingxue sat on the bed and twisted her thin waist and said.
Dongfang Yue was sitting on the bed sewing something, and said with a smile: "It's so exaggerated, it's full of children and grandchildren, when you say this, as Xiaoliang's sister, it seems that I am old." β
"Sister Yue, this is old, this is maturity! Ripe honey fruit is the most attractive to gluttonous children. Bei Mingxue said with a wicked smile, and her eyes glanced at the undulating places of the other party from time to time.
Dongfang Yue's face turned red when she saw it, put down the items in her hand, and threw herself at the other party: "Dead Nizi, as soon as you come today, your mouth looks like honey, there must be something." Now you dare to tease me, see how I teach you. β
"Oh, I don't dare."
The two quarreled for a while before parting.
Bei Mingxue said at this time: "The family is very supportive of your affairs, and I have also gone outside the city to contact your husband's family, and the strength is indeed very strong." However, you also know that food is very scarce in Shangcheng, and it is probably a little reluctant to take out so much food at once, and manpower is urgently needed by all parties at present, so after discussing it with my father and grandfather, I want to ask if I can ...... it."
Speaking of this, Bei Mingxue is a little difficult to speak, the family handed over the task to her, so that she has to work hard to complete it, but there is always a suspicion of using good sisters, she doesn't want the relationship between the two to be separated, so when the words come to her mouth, she can't say anything.
Dongfang Yue understood as soon as she heard it, and took the initiative to say with a smile: "Don't worry, we can't take care of so many people for a while, and it should be shared among various families, and we can't let you lose in vain." The Beiming family has always taken good care of our sisters and brothers, and they deserve the highest treatment! β
Although it is actually the exchange of population for food and weapons, it cannot be said that the specific proportion is the key work to be carried out in the future. And the major forces attach so much importance to the population, in addition to being the basis of productive labor, they have not failed to discover the ideas of the awakened in them.
Bei Mingxue hugged Dongfang Yue excitedly: "You are really my good sister." β
The attitude of the Murong family remained silent, while the Beiming family made it clear that they supported it, and other small and medium-sized forces were like grass on the wall at first sight, and they all visited the Dongfang family, some of them just took the opportunity to make friends, and some of them were to see if the Dongfang family was worth following, especially those who were not happy in the original forces, they were all concerned.
Dongfang Yue was very busy for a while, of course, she didn't see everyone, so she was left and right among the forces of all parties, and the demeanor of the business queen was once again displayed in front of the world......
