Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 95 Incident (4)
Hu Honglian's face was gloomy.
Liu Baichan is right, if she doesn't cooperate with the other party and wants to order the people of Yipinlou to resist, then the result will definitely not be good.
Although the strength of Yipinlou is not weak, it also depends on who it is compared with, not to mention, the cultivators she brought are only a part of the entire Yipinlou. There are only a few Yuan Shen Realms here, such as her and the three masters of Yipinlou, and the Liu family is only a master of appearance, and the number is more than twice as many as them!
The only possibility for the two sides to draw their knives against each other is for her to be killed and wounded, and the rest are all captured, and then tortured, in a dilemma of life and death.
The current situation is no longer in her control.
Hu Honglian is not qualified to wrestle with Liu Baichan at all.
From the moment Liu Baichan led people to appear, and the whereabouts of Yipinlou were exposed, Hu Honglian lost. Her mission failed.
The loser has no reason to speak of, and can only accept the judgment of the winner.
Hu Honglian lowered his head and took a sip of water.
This tea doesn't taste much.
Putting down the tea bowl, Hu Honglian looked at Liu Baichan. The other party's demeanor was calm, Zhizhu was in his hand, and there was no intention of urging anxiously. This is because Liu Baichan knows that Hu Honglian has no choice and can't escape from the palm of his hand.
Hu Honglian's voice was very steady: "You lost." ”
Liu Baichan didn't move, waited for a while, and saw Hu Honglian's face as usual, his brows furrowed, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and he said coldly: "Do you know what I just said? I lost?"
He felt that Hu Honglian should admit that she had lost, instead of saying such a counter-argument, and his thoughts were so firm that he didn't do it immediately, giving Hu Honglian time to realize his mistake and correct it.
Although Hu Honglian's voice was steady, it was very powerful, "You lost." ”
Liu Baichan got up suddenly, and with a flick of his sleeves, he was about to order Hu Honglian and the others to be taken down!
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the head of the town, like thunder falling down! The ground trembled slightly, and the tea bowl on the table in front of Liu Baichan and Hu Honglian jumped up an inch!
Liu Baichan turned around suddenly.
Some of the families of the more than 100 victims of the mining accident had just run to the city gate, probably wanting to enter the city and take out the footmen and fortune tellers in exchange for rewards. The loud explosion stopped them, and the splinters of earth and stone that flew down from the rammed earth walls made it impossible for them to move forward for half a minute, holding their heads and shrinking their necks, looking at the city as they retreated in panic.
At this glance, they were all stunned.
Not only them, but the Liu cultivators also stopped what they were doing, and Liu Baichan's face sank like water.
When the thunder sounded, there was a huge mountain-opening axe inserted diagonally at the head of the city, which was filled with smoke and dust! The axe flattened the battlements several zhang long, and the blade of the axe sank into the female wall.
This simple and richly decorated axe, with a flickering blade, caused pressure on the people in front of the city who looked up at it, as heavy as Mount Tai.
It seems that in the next moment, the giant axe will fly out of thin air, cutting all the targets it doesn't like in two!
And Zhao Qiyue, who was standing at the end of the axe handle and clasping his arms, was like a god of evil, and his body looked different and majestic, as if he was facing the gray sky, and he should be nine feet high.
There was a smile of relaxation and happiness in Hu Honglian's eyes. She had fought side by side with Zhao Qiyue, and she was particularly impressed by the giant axe. As soon as he caught a glimpse of the other party's appearance, he knew that the matter here had been taken over by Zhao Qiyue, a strong man.
Although her mission failed, Liu Baichan also lost.
It's just because Zhao Qiyue appeared.
Even if he had only met Zhao Qiyue once, Hu Honglian was extremely confident in Zhao Qiyue's strength, not only that, since Zhao Qiyue appeared with great fanfare, he would definitely not be alone. This means that Zhao Ning had already anticipated the plight of Xinxiang in advance, so he asked Zhao Qiyue to bring people over.
Hu Honglian's face became very ugly after glancing, and he no longer had the kind of Liu Baichan who controlled everything before, and couldn't help laughing. Yipinlou can't wrestle with Liu's wrist, Liu can command in front of her, so what about facing Zhao?
"Zhao Qiyue, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Baichan had already noticed that there were many Zhao masters approaching nearby, and they also occupied the road entrances and various points with high terrain and good vision, and there were soon more than twenty or thirty masters above the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm on the city wall, forming an encirclement of the Liu cultivators!
The Zhao cultivators present not only had many masters, but also had three times as many Liu cultivators!
Liu Baichan realized that something was wrong and felt an extremely strong aura of danger. But he absolutely didn't believe that the Zhao cultivators would do something to them in broad daylight.
"I'm going to do something. Zhao Qiyue said lightly.
"Does it have anything to do with the Liu family?" asked Liu Baichan word by word.
"There is a relationship. ”
"What's the relationship?"
"I need you all to go away. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"None of you can move the ordinary people here. ”
"You're going to take them away?"
Zhao Qiyue stopped talking, just looked at Liu Baichan.
"These people have a lot to do with our Liu family, you have to make it clear. Liu Baichan said in a deep voice.
"If I make it clear, you'll lose face. "Zhao Qiyue is a kind child who is very considerate of others.
Liu Baichan didn't retreat for half a step, "Do you really want to take them away?"
Zhao Qiyue asked lightly: "Can you stop it?"
Liu Baichan's face was embarrassed.
He really couldn't stop it.
Glancing at Hu Honglian, Liu Baichan was even more angry, he had no intention of retreating, because he couldn't retreat, and Liu couldn't retreat. Concentrating, he looked at Zhao Qiyue again, "In this way, these people are really driven by the Zhao family?"
Zhao Qiyue said indifferently: "So what?"
Liu Baichan sneered, "You acted in every way before, for fear of exposing your whereabouts, why did you suddenly make a big fanfare at this time? Even if you are asked to take people away, in this case, do you think the Liu clan will not be guarded?"
Zhao Qiyue: "The Liu family will not be guarded. ”
"What do you mean?"
"None of you here can leave Xinxiang!"
"You're going to do it with us?"
"If you stay in the new township, I can keep you alive for the time being!"
"Zhao Qiyue, you are too arrogant!"
"I'm just stating a fact. ”
Zhao Qiyue remained silent, "If you are smart enough, you should know that since I am here, it means that there is no need to act covertly in this matter." The time has come, the battle has begun, haven't you realized it? Now, it's time to decide the victory and the defeat, and you don't understand it?"
Hearing this, Liu Baichan's heart suddenly beat faster, and his face turned pale.
He realized the seriousness of the problem.
The danger that befell him was far greater than he had expected! The Zhao clan not only wanted to deal with the Liu clan, but had already begun to deal with the Liu clan, and it was all in one battle!
The families of these mine victims in Xinxiang Town are the last important weight for Zhao to put Liu to death!
The funny thing is that before this, the Liu family knew nothing about it, and the whole clan did not expect that the situation had reached this point!
The people of the Liu clan noticed that someone was secretly operating in Xinxiang Township two days earlier, contacted the families of the victims of the mining accident, and reported the situation to the family, and Liu Muzhi immediately sent him with several masters of the Yuan Shen Realm to deal with the problem. I thought that with the addition of Liu's manpower in Xinxiangxiang, it would be enough to control the situation, but I didn't expect that Zhao Qiyue brought so many people, almost all the masters of the Zhao family in Yanping City!
In the final analysis, the Liu clan only sent people to deal with the mine issue, while the Zhao clan dispatched the forces to decide the outcome and decide life and death with the Liu clan! The judgment of the two sides on the urgency of the Xinxiang issue was not at the same level at all, and this was the fundamental reason for the huge difference in the strength invested by the two sides!
"Liu Baichan, when Liu Muzhi was in the Duwei Mansion and wrote a war letter to my grandfather, saying that the Liu family was going to war with the Zhao family, you should know that the two families had already gone to war. ”
Zhao Qiyue looked down at Liu Baichan, there was no emotion in his voice, there was only cold hostility and murderous aura, just like the generals in front of the two armies, "You are the men, you may not understand the style of the generals." For us, once the big war starts, we will concentrate on attacking with all our might, and we will definitely not drag our feet and talk to you. Now, let me ask you one last time, will you retreat or not?"
Liu Baichan opened his mouth, only to feel bitter and angry, but he couldn't find a place to vent and speak.
The Liu family has just folded the White Coat Society, and a series of internal interest problems caused by it can be solved. In fact, the Liu family is already ready to make a move against the Zhao family, and the conspiracy of the Privy Council and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is about to be launched! I just didn't expect that when the Liu family solved the residual problem of the White Coat Society and arranged the affairs of the Privy Council, the Zhao family had already completed many actions and walked to the last step!
Liu Baichan gritted his teeth and said: "The families of these mine victims have betrayed your people, and now they can only go one way with us to the dark, they will not choose and can't choose, and then act with you! You don't want to rely on them, and use the origin of the mine to make trouble for the Liu family!"
The corners of Zhao Qiyue's mouth twitched slightly, which can be regarded as a smile, "You don't need them to choose, I'll make the decision for them." You control them by threats and bribery, and now that my strength is three times that of yours, I can give them three times as much silver. You say, we are both big families, and we are also influential in Xinxiang Township, so why should they not go with me?
Liu Baichan's throat moved up and down, his face was like earth, and he was speechless for a while. Zhao Qiyue's sentence "Do they dare to go with me?" made him realize the firm and domineering will of this eldest daughter of the Zhao family.
"The matter has come to this point, and there is only one battle! As long as someone breaks through the encirclement and reports back to the situation here, the head of the family knows the seriousness of the matter, and he will inevitably unite with Xu Xiang to use the power of the civilian clique to control the situation here through the Jingzhao Mansion and the Lantian County Ya! As long as the families of these mine victims cannot go to the capital immediately, there will be room for maneuver!"
Thinking of this, Liu Baichan no longer hesitated, roared, beckoned all the Liu cultivators to make a move, and attacked Zhao Qiyue himself!
He was still halfway, and the giant axe in Zhao Qiyue's hand had already slashed down on him one step ahead, and it was as overwhelming as Mount Tai!
