Chapter 0031: The Grasshopper Shakes the Tree
On the second day, He Xiaoyun came to the meeting hall and invited the clan guards and family masters to prepare to send more people and increase the patrol in the mansion.
At this time, everyone had already received the news that the two stone lions outside the gate of the mansion were quietly cut down to the ground with sharp blades, and everyone in the clan was hostile and hateful, and they had already dressed vigorously and carried blades, and it was estimated that as long as He Xiaoyun gave an order, they would fight to the end with the provocateurs who came to the door.
Feeling this high morale, He Xiaoyun sighed gloomily, the so-called ignorant are fearless, but they don't know that the comer is so powerful, if the clansmen know, can they still maintain such high morale? The answer is probably obvious.
However, He Xiaoyun saw that the whole family was working together to resist the enemy, and felt a little relieved, and said with a solemn expression: "Brothers, I know that you have a fire in your hearts and hatred, in fact, when it comes to hatred, I don't need you to be less at all, He Yong, the younger generation of the family, died hunting mountains, and Li Biao, who grew up with my bare ass, was killed in front of the door, why don't I want to slash the enemy and avenge them!"
"Patriarch, you give the order!"
There was a commotion at the scene, all of them hoped that He Xiaoyun would order revenge, and that high fighting spirit made He Xiaoyun a little reluctant to draw his sword to accompany him, but the reality would never allow him to do so, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent again.
He Xiaoyun frowned, sighed, and finally decided to inform everyone present of the true situation: "Brothers, you have followed me for so many years, you should know that I, He Xiaoyun, am definitely not a turtle with a shrunken head, but according to the situation mastered these days, this force is extremely powerful, in just half a day, it has uprooted the City Lord's Mansion by thunderous means, and controlled thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, think about it, how does the family compare with the City Lord's Mansion?
Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.
He Xiaoyun continued: "This force is vigorous and resolute, thoughtful, occupied the city lord's mansion, and quickly issued a grounding notice, cutting off the contact between the major forces, and preventing all forces from huddling together for warmth, and we haven't even figured out what the other party's motives are at this time, so not to the point of last resort, I don't want my brothers to bury their lives in vain for this, the only thing we can do at present is to strengthen the security outside the mansion, if there is really a desperate day, I will join hands with you to fight to the end, endlessly!"
This generous remark of emotion and understanding made the sense of belonging and responsibility of all the clansmen and their guards present unprecedentedly strengthened, and everyone present could not help but shout the slogan of "fight to the end and never die" from the bottom of their hearts.
The sound of many clansmen in unison soared into the sky, and the morale of the family was unprecedentedly high.
After a tiring day, He Xiaoyun returned to the room, put the long sword on the pillow, did not even take off his clothes, shoes and socks, only covered his body with a thin quilt, and waited for him, he lay on the bed, recalled what happened during the day, and tossed and turned on the bed without sleep, tossing and turning until midnight, and then fell asleep leisurely.
In the early hours of the next morning, someone whispered outside the window: "Patriarch! Patriarch ......"
He Xiaoyun was sleeping soundly at this time, and he didn't wake up for a while, and after hearing many calls in a haze, he opened his tired eyes with difficulty, and said a little impatiently: "What's the matter?"
The person who came said in a loud voice: "Late last night, someone in the family secretly absconded from the house, was beheaded one by one, and was unknowingly sent to the meeting hall. ”
"What?" He Xiaoyun hurriedly turned over and got up, and quickly rushed to the conference hall, the tragic situation in front of him, Rao is He Xiaoyun has experienced countless storms in his life, his hands can't help but tremble violently, his knees are sore, he can barely stand up straight, stunned in place, and is silent for a long time.
After He Xiaoyun settled the aftermath of the deceased, his heart was so confused that he couldn't settle down, and he couldn't help but come to the ancestral hall of the clan and closed the door of the ancestral hall.
Staring at the spirit card of the ancestors of the clan, He Xiaoyun knelt on the ground with a 'bang', tears of humiliation rolled down, and cried bitterly: "The ancestors of the He clan are above, and the descendants of He Xiaoyun have kowtowed to you to make amends, and the enemy who came to slaughter my clansmen, as the patriarch, should have led the clansmen to rise up and resist and avenge the dead clansmen, but unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no hope of revenge, for the sake of temporary hatred, how can I take the lives of the clansmen to die in vain?"
After a while, I heard Mrs. He anxiously shouting outside the ancestral hall: "Xiaoyun, are you inside?"
He Xiaoyun wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes, stabilized her emotions, and said weakly: "Madam, why are you yelling?"
Mrs. He's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said: "About ten steps away from the door of the mansion, I don't know when a blood line about an inch wide was drawn, and six big characters were written in blood next to the blood line: 'Those who go out five steps die'. ”
The corners of He Xiaoyun's mouth twitched, the fierce light flashed in his pupils, and he shouted angrily: "When did you write it, didn't anyone find out?"
Mrs. He's face was full of clouds, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I asked one by one just now, but I didn't see it, in fact, it's no wonder that they are not giving up, and now many people are already afraid, who dares to stand at the door in a daze!"
He Xiaoyun groaned slightly, his brows furrowed, and he weakly made an extremely harsh decision since he became the patriarch: "Madam, pass on my order, from this moment on, no one is allowed to step out of the door for half a step, otherwise all the veins involved will be expelled from the house!"
Mrs. He shook her head with a wry smile, and sighed: "The matter has come to this point, there is no other way but to do this, I will go to pass the order immediately." ”
......
That night, He Xiaoyun personally participated in the vigil inspection, who knew that during the inspection, he saw more than a dozen guards sitting lazily in the hall, and no one outside the family courtyard was guarding outside.
The strength of the invading enemy is too strong, and the tough measures used, the deterrent effect has obviously begun to bear the effect, so many people have died in the clan, and as the patriarch, he has always been at a loss, no wonder everyone is so timid, and he can only comfort a few words at the moment, and ordered someone to send some wine and food, and accompany the guards to drink and relieve pressure in the council hall, everyone is troubled, no one has spoken, and the people present are really a little unbearable The dull atmosphere, so they have to drink sullenly, and after a while, several people have been drunk.
In the early morning of the next day, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and a few fast horses galloped out of the family mansion.
He Xiaoyun nodded with a wry smile, sat on the chair tiredly, shook his head and sighed: "It's okay, the family is in a big disaster, and the so-called big disaster comes when they fly separately, since He Xiaoyun can't protect the safety of your brothers, everyone will go if they want to, and the family will no longer hold them responsible!"
The rest of the guards were immediately indignant, angrily reprimanding the three guards for being ungrateful, but there were still a few people at the scene who were silent, just kept sighing, and seemed to be secretly thinking about something in their hearts, and all this, He Xiaoyun seemed to ignore it and didn't take it to heart.
In the evening, the three horses brought back the three corpses, and when they looked closely, they were not the three guards who fled without permission in the early morning.
The three of them wanted to escape from Xiangfu City, but they didn't expect to lose their lives before others, and many people were secretly happy in their hearts.
He Xiaoyun's heart was dull, he rushed out of the door with a long sword, stood about three steps outside the shocking blood line, and said loudly: "I don't know which predecessor is powerful, hiding in the shadows and killing innocents, what kind of hero is he? He Xiaoyun is here, even if he has the ability, he can come and kill!"
The more He Xiaoyun screamed, the more excited he became, he unbuttoned his clothes, exposed his chest, and shouted angrily: "Courageless dog, old brute! What kind of person who goes out five steps dies, I just take a few more steps, even if it is death, eighteen years later, I He Xiaoyun is a good man again!"
The difference this time is that He Xiaoyun has become a lonely person at the moment, and there is not even a guard by his side, which shows how good the methods of the mysterious forces are.
Suddenly, there was a 'bang', and He Xiaoyun's body flew towards the gate like a kite with a broken string, and with a loud bang, his body hit the thick vermilion lacquer gate.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the eaves, and said coldly: "Ignorant people, dare to violate the rules set by this seat, insult this seat in public, should have been killed to set an example, this seat is in a good mood today, leave you a dog for the time being." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man walked out with his sleeves raised.
The middle-aged man's mercy was not his kindness, but He Xiaoyun was the soul of the He family, once he killed, the situation expanded, and the thousands of officers and soldiers on his hand and the two hundred people who rushed to the aid were really likely to be unable to resist the collective backlash of the major forces in the city.
In fact, these tragic events that happened to the He family in the past three days also happened to the major forces in the city like a coincidence, and many struggles were instantly suppressed by powerful force.
Especially the Wang family, the patriarch of the Wang family, is quite hot-tempered, and he fights and kills at every turn, which is a well-known ruthless character in Xiangfu City, which is also an important reason why the Wang family can quickly gain a firm foothold in Xiangfu City in just 20 years of development.
With Wang Zhenxiong's bullish temper of "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees", he naturally couldn't stand the oppression of this force and led all the clansmen to resist.
However, the Wang family's highest martial arts cultivation is only at the level of the five grades of the Wuyang Realm, which is tantamount to "mayflies shaking the tree, ridiculous and immeasurable", the result is obvious, within half an hour, the Wang family was slaughtered by the other party, becoming the first local force in the history of Xiangfu City to be uprooted.
Because of the grounding in the city these days, the bustling streets that were originally like a city have long become crowded these days, and the silence is terrible, and a storm is about to blow over the building, shrouding the sky above this city, there is an indescribable depression and irritability.
