On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Kuizhou.

Tomorrow is the annual Chinese New Year's Eve, and the wind and snow that have been raging for many days have finally stopped.

However, there is not much excitement and joy in the whole city of Kuizhou, and many shops are closed, and the merchants do not have the slightest idea of making a fortune during the festival.

Even the Long family's mansion does not have the bright lights and lively scenes of the past, but from time to time there are burly and serious guys coming in and out from time to time, and then there will be soldiers and horses in the city.

Today's entire territory of Fuzhou is completely like a mountain rain is coming, and there will be a big war about to begin, and the Chinese New Year's Eve has long been ignored by everyone.

In the middle hall of the Long family's mansion today, a large number of leaders of various departments loyal to the Long family have also gathered, and they are either solemn or eager, all of them look at the sixty-year-old man sitting at the head of the house, and listen to him tell him about one thing after another.

This person who can make all the barbarian patriarchs who have always been unruly respect and obey is none other than Long Chengbang, the contemporary lord of the Kuizhou Long Clan.

I think that at the beginning, he was also able to personally lead the children of the clan, rushing to the front line, and using the knife in his hand to kill those Sichuan and Shu barbarian tribes and Han officials and soldiers who were not satisfied with the Long family, and even had the title of a blood dragon king.

But that was a few decades ago, since thirty years ago, when he was shot by an arrow in the center of the nest, almost lost his life, and barely survived, the Blood Dragon King has become introverted and deep, and he no longer has the crazy spirit he had before, and even many clan affairs have been handed over to his children.

In the past five or six years, he is even more in a state of semi-retirement, whether it is the imperial court or other tribes to discuss affairs with the Long family, it is also his son Long Jingyao to deal with them one by one, and many people are about to forget the real head of the Long family.

But today, the head of the Long family, who had been in seclusion for several years, appeared again to meet the leader of this cadre clan, which alone could make them feel excited, knowing that the Long family was going to do something big again.

Sure enough, at this time, I heard Long Chengbang say slowly: "What is the situation in Sichuan and Shu now, I think everyone already knows it, and there is no need for the old man to introduce it more."

"Unexpectedly, the Han people, who had no place in my Sichuan and Shu, suddenly became so powerful because of the arrival of the emperor, not only the entire territory of southern Sichuan, but even the Huayang Mu clan......

"I won't hide it from you, just half a month ago, the imperial court also sent someone to find my Long family, intending to let us also lead the people to join us, and from then on we will be loyal to the imperial court.

"We also put forward several conditions with the imperial court, but I am afraid that they may not agree to a few of them. If that's the case......"

As he paused suddenly, some of the leaders sitting below immediately said in a conscious voice: "Patriarch Long, just rest assured, if they really dare to use troops against Kuizhou, our various departments will definitely give their full support, even if they fight to the last person, they will not give in to the Han people!" ”

"Yes, Kuizhou is our Kuizhou, and if the Han court dares to send troops to come, it will be said that they will not return!"

"We've wanted to fight those Han soldiers and horses before, and this time it's time to test their abilities!"

These clan leaders have spoken out to express their support, and all of them are gearing up, willing to follow the posture of the Long clan in a battle with the imperial court.

This made Long Chengbang smile with satisfaction, and he deliberately bowed: "Then the old man will thank the patriarchs for their righteous action." You can rest assured, when that day comes, our Long family will definitely do everything we can, and we will definitely not treat your brothers badly.

"Moreover, we will also go to Qianzhou in the morning, and in the spring of next year, the Qianzhou Long family will also send elites into Sichuan, and when the time comes, we will not only be able to completely wipe out the Han army, but also take the opportunity to take the entire Sichuan and Shu into our hands!"

Hearing him say this, everyone's morale became more and more high, and they all applauded loudly, they couldn't wait to lead the army to battle now, and kill the Han officials and soldiers, as well as those who betrayed the ethnic groups and the southern Sichuan tribes that betrayed the land of Sichuan and Shu!

The military heart is available, Long Chengbang smiled again: "Of course, this battle does not necessarily have to be fought, as long as the imperial court can agree to our conditions, as long as the emperor is willing to come to my Kuizhou and agree to form an alliance with us, then we can also assist the imperial court and fight the Central Plains."

"At that time, we will only get more, compared with Sichuan and Shu, the Central Plains is the real world of flowers, and the wealth there is a thousand times and a hundred times that of my Sichuan and Shu!"

With these words, the warm atmosphere finally calmed down, but immediately, a patriarch sitting at the head of Long Chengbang spoke again: "Patriarch Long, don't worry, our departments will follow you, whether it is peace or war, our departments will follow!" ”

"Hehe, the patriarch is too polite, we call it cooperation, and there is no difference between the tribes and clans. I, the Long Clan, and you are completely single-minded brothers and tribes, sharing weal and woe, wealth and nobility! Long Chengbang was very satisfied with this response, and deliberately drew closer to the relationship and promised benefits.

This naturally attracted others to be more convinced, and it was a burst of flattery, judging from the current atmosphere in the hall, these more than ten departments were completely united around the Kuizhou Long family, and they were going to advance and retreat together with them.

And all of this fell into the eyes of the servants who served everyone beside him, and they were all quite excited and honored. Only one of them, although the expression on his face was no different from the others, but his lowered eyes flashed with a strange light.

"It seems that the Long family is fully prepared this time, if the Yue court does not dare to let the Dog Emperor get into danger, it will naturally be enough to provoke a war between the two sides, and then my Tang Sect will have a chance!"

This person who seems to be a loyal servant of the Long family is the secret spy hidden here by the Tang Sect, and it is obvious that his exact identity is not even known to several people in charge of the Long family.

The rapid sweep of the Dayue Imperial Court completely hit the entire Tang Sect before it could react, and it was only at this time that it was one step ahead of the arrangement.

However, their own strength is not enough after all, so in the end, they can only use the momentum of the Kuizhou Long family to achieve the ultimate goal.

Of course, these things must be hidden in the shadows, although the Tang Sect has made sufficient arrangements, it still keeps the entire Long family in the dark, and now, it only depends on what kind of choices and reactions the Dayue Imperial Court will make.

Just when everyone in the hall was full of confidence, and they all patted their chests to promise that they would definitely raise troops to break the imperial court's soldiers and horses, the closed hall door was gently pushed open, bringing in a cold wind outside, and then Long Jinghai quickly came to his father's side with a strange expression, and whispered something in his ear.

Only this sentence made the expression on the face of the old man who was still full of smiles suddenly scolded, and after taking a deep breath, he turned to look at the people around him, and then said slowly: "The emperor has arrived outside my Kuizhou City......
