When Sun Yue fled back to the capital, nearly a month had passed since Lu An crossed the Huai River and arrived in Fenzhou.

In the past month, not only did the imperial court receive Lu An's movements and began to lay out countermeasures, but similarly, other forces were also shocked by Lu An's movements.

With 3,000 troops, all the way unimpeded, invincible, invincible, everywhere you go, all surrender!

What is especially shocking and terrifying is naturally the legendary powerful little black ball.

Of course, in a short period of time, the legend about Lu An has long been rumored to be divine, so the reactions of all parties are very different.

After paying a heavy price, Xia Gang paid more and more attention to the destructive power that Lu An might bring again, and when Lu An went to deal with Pu Zhen and had no time to care, while paying close attention to Lu An's movements, he put all his energy on copying the little black ball.

At the same time, a force that had long been ignored by Lu An was quietly converging in Shigu City, four hundred miles away from the capital!

The route of Lu'an to the north is clear and definite, after landing from Wujiangwei, it passes through Yuzhou, Xiangcheng County, Sizhou, Hanoi County, Binh Duong County, Shangdang County, and Xiangjun to Bingzhou.

The states and counties along the way had little power to fight back, even if the surrounding counties were also panicked, and even took the initiative to donate the city.

The states and counties far away from Lu'an's northbound route were basically unaffected and continued to remain calm.

For example, the small town of Shigu to which Chengcheng County belongs is quiet and peaceful.

However, no one noticed that in such an inconspicuous small city, in a remote and elegant villa, at this moment, the main figures of the four major families who influenced the political situation of the Central Plains for thousands of years were gathered!

The free mountain villa built by the mountain, such a moment of autumn is getting stronger, the frost dyes the maple red, the fallen leaves are silent, only the occasional flying geese in the air, and the figure of the four people sitting in the small pavilion of the villa, forming a bleak picture.

"Congratulations to the head of the Zhang family, Dongping County, where the Zhang family started in Fuyang, is nearly six hundred miles away from Pingyang County, and the head of the Zhang family can actually give up Dongping County, admire and admire!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Heming snorted coldly, and glanced at the goatee on the left side, "Brother Wang is not far behind, Wenxi, Gao Liang, and Yuchang in the three cities to which your Gaoyang Wang clan belongs, didn't they even have a trace of resistance, and raised their hands to surrender early?" ”

Wang Yuanliang, the head of the Gaoyang Wang family, shook his head with a light smile, "The three small cities are not the place where my Wang family is prosperous, so it is nothing. ”

"Besides, those three small cities are in the place where Lu'an must pass through, and the city lord is not a descendant of my Wang family, so what if you lose it?"

Zhang Heming's old face twitched, and he looked at the old lady Chen Chen who was on a leading crutch opposite, and finally found a trace of comfort.

"Dongping County is my ancestral land of Zhang's family, even if I give it up, at least my Zhang's ancestral ancestral hall is still there, it's better than some people, before anyone else can do it, I was scared to move north early, not to mention the ancestral shrine, I can't even take care of the ancestral industry!"

"Ahem—"

Old Lady Chen coughed heavily, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.

Since Chen Hongkui, the heir of the family, was killed by Lu An, Old Lady Chen seemed to have been sucked out of his backbone, and he had aged for ten years all of a sudden!

Later, he saw Lu An kill the entire Qinghe Lu clan with his own eyes, and had to give up the ancestral land in Jiangnan, and even the Chen family's hundreds of years of kilns were abandoned, in order to protect the Chen family, so as not to end up with the same fate as the Qinghe Lu clan.

Now that four months have passed, the prestige of the Chen family in Pingyuan has plummeted, and it is no longer the grand occasion of the past.

Facing the Zhang and Wang families, who were once equals, Mrs. Chen's momentum was naturally a little weaker.

Even Zhang Heming's obvious ridicule in front of him has no capital to refute.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanliang expressed concern and condolences, "Brother Chen, are you okay?" ”

Of course, it is not known how much of this so-called concern is sincere.

Old Lady Chen waved his hand and laughed at himself, "Thank you Brother Wang for your concern, it's a problem, it's okay." ”

"What Brother Zhang said just now is right, my Chen family is in decline in the hands of the old man, the old man is ashamed of his ancestors, and he has no face to see his ancestors after he dies!"

"In the past, we had a small gathering, and we had a good time, but this time, things are not people, Brother Lu is not there, and the old man always feels empty in his heart, alas!"

mentioned Lu Dingtian, Zhang Heming and Wang Yuanhao also showed regret on their faces and sighed.

is also the head of the four major families, and now that they are gone, the three of them naturally have a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and they can't help but look at the only woman present - Cheng Ying.

"Brother Lu is known as Xiao Zhuge Xiang, with outstanding ability and wisdom, and after sitting in the position of the head of the family, the development of the Lu family in Qinghe has also reached the most glorious stage."

"It's a pity that in the end, not only did Brother Lu die young, but the entire Lu family was also murdered, which is really embarrassing!"

"It's rare that Miss Cheng is high-minded, inheriting Brother Lu's will, and going to today's meeting in Shigu City, Brother Lu has knowledge under the spring, and he should also be blinded!"

Cheng Ying looked sad, got up and gave her hand, "Although the little woman is not from the Lu family, her father-in-law had a great life-saving grace to the little girl when she was alive!" ”

"Suddenly heard that her father-in-law was killed, the little girl is better than dead, and she wanted to go with her father-in-law, but her father-in-law's family died tragically, and if she doesn't take revenge, the little woman will not be blind to death!"

"The three seniors recruited each other, the little woman was terrified, she knew that her status was low, she didn't dare to speak, she dared to come to the meeting on behalf of her father-in-law, she should have listened to the teachings of the three seniors, but now the situation is critical, the little woman can only have the courage to speak, and I hope that the three seniors will not hesitate to teach."

"Lu An's thief exterminated the entire Lu clan in Qinghe, which is already appalling, but it is even more incredible to support Lu Yuyan, the abandoned daughter of the Lu family, as the patriarch of the Lu clan!"

"How can there be a woman in the world who is the head of a family?"

"Lu An's thief's move is not only deceitful, but also heart-wrenching!"

"The whole family of my father-in-law was killed, and Mrs. Chen led the whole clan to the north, which was really a helpless move in the eyes of the little woman."

"Although it's a little hasty, it's better than staying in the ancestral land of Yangzhou and always beware of the poisonous hands of the landing thief, right?"

"In just a few months, the entire Lu clan of Qinghe was wiped out, the Chen clan of the plain went north for refuge, and the Gaoyang Wang clan and the Fuyang Zhang clan also sacrificed several cities one after another, all of which were because of Lu An's thief!"

"The head of the Zhang family, the head of the Wang family, I believe that the two seniors should know that with Lu An's character and his current momentum, what happened to my Lu family and Chen family is a lesson from the Fuyang Zhang family and the Gaoyang Wang family!"

"Actually, there is no need for the little woman to talk too much, the two heads of the family must also be aware of this."

"If you don't pay attention to the movements of Lu An's thieves, the four great families that have lasted for thousands of years, no one can say what will happen in the end."

"The reason why the little girl is fortunate to participate in today's meeting in Shigu City must be that the three seniors also have this meaning, right?"

"The little girl is not talented, as long as the three heads of the family have a place to use, the little woman is willing to serve the death!"
