Chapter 275: Dark Tide
The atmosphere in the study was extremely solemn, and the two heads of the Xie family and the Ouyang family were all silent, but it could be seen from their eyes that their hearts were extremely uncalm.
After a long time, Xie Ling said: "Do we want to find a way to contact the two families again? Only four or five families are united, are we still afraid that Shangguan Wuji will not succeed? He can be killed by relying on people!"
"How do you know that the other families have not taken refuge in the Shangguan family, and are also ready to sell Ling Yang and everyone?" Ouyang Changtian frowned and said, "If the grass startles the snake, I'm afraid that the entire Lingyang City will be ruined!"
"Now although Shangguan Wuji has retreated, most of the strength of the city guard army is still in the hands of Shangguan Wuyan, our power in the army is not large, and the number of retainers and warriors of the three families is also limited, if you can't master the guard, it is too difficult to eliminate Shangguan Wuji!"
Xie Ling said viciously: "Then kill Shangguan Wuya and seize the military power, isn't Xu Jingye on our side?" As long as we can control more than half of the city guards, plus Xu Jingye's order, and then we come up with evidence to publicize Shangguan Wuji's rebellion, how many people will stand on his side?"
"Kill Shangguan Wuya?" Ouyang Changtian smiled bitterly: "There are a few masters in our family, but Shangguan Wuya is not only an innate powerhouse in the Sevenfold Heaven Realm, but it is difficult for our people to get close to the guards in and out of the camp!"
"Hasn't he been obsessed with the new Yun girl from Wanhualou recently?" Xie Ling slapped the table and shouted, "I beat my son last time." Ahem!"
He immediately realized that he had lost his temper and quickly coughed to cover it. That's not a glorious thing.
Qin Yun's heart moved, thought for a while and said, "This is an opportunity. Otherwise, I'll assassinate Shangguan Wuya and leave the matter of seizing military power to you!"
The truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first Qin Yun certainly understands that Shangguan Wuya, as the core figure of the Shangguan family, life and death are definitely related to the overall situation, and being able to assassinate him is naturally the most ideal choice.
"You!?"
The three heads of the family were stunned at the same time. Xie Ling shook his head and said, "Qin Yun Xiaoyou, you may not know how powerful Shangguan Wuyan is, his swordsmanship has already reached the realm of sword phase, and his cultivation of Qi Chong Xingyun Xuangong is even stronger. Even if we two old guys join forces, we may not be his opponents!"
"And even if he goes to Wanhualou to have fun, there are dozens of guards around him, all of whom are good in the army!
He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood the meaning, Qin Yun was probably not an opponent.
Qin Yun said with a smile: "Two seniors, don't worry, since I dare to take this matter, of course I am sure!"
Shui Mingdong interjected: "By the way, Qin Yun once killed Tu Wanxiong a month ago. ”
"Tu Wanxiong!" the two heads of the family immediately remembered. Looking at Qin Yun's gaze, it suddenly became different.
"That's good!" Xie Ling slapped his thigh suddenly, got up and said, "That's it!" I will send someone to keep an eye on Wanhualou, once Shangguan Wuya goes to Wanhualou, I will come back immediately to inform you that our side is ready to seize military power!"
"Xie Laohu, Xie Boss!" Ouyang Changtian smiled bitterly: "Can you not be so impulsive?" This matter is not trivial, even if the time is urgent, we can't act recklessly, since everyone is in the same boat, we should work together to make a good plan. ”
Xie Ling stomped her foot. Very unwillingly, he sat down again, muttering: "Then you say, I don't care!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but wonder, these two people had a violent temper and a feminine temper, which was just the opposite, but Ouyang Changtian was very reasonable, in the case that his own side was obviously in a weak position, he had to have a careful plan.
Ouyang Changtian's strength is not only the strongest among the three, but also his mind is even more calm, under his suggestion, the three families first establish an alliance relationship, and then arrange according to the strength and strength of each family.
As time passed, a plan for a counterattack gradually came out, and although it cannot be said that everything was exhaustive, it was clearly written out what each family was going to do and how much effort they were going to contribute.
And in this process, Qin Yun was a bystander from beginning to end, and he didn't say much except for the part about the plan to assassinate Shangguan Wuya.
After repeated deliberation, the three heads of the family decided that there was no negligence, and then formalized it.
At the same time, the Shangguan family's mansion, which was only two streets away from the old house of the Shui family, was brightly lit.
Groups of heavily armed guards patrolled back and forth around the compound, their vigilant eyes scanning the dark corners, and an atmosphere of solemnity and slaughter permeated everywhere.
In the pavilion of the inner courtyard, the light from the burning of dozens of butter giant candles illuminated the huge room to the fullest, and Shangguan Wuji, the former city guard of Lingyang City and the head of the Shangguan family, sat on the tiger skin chair and looked through the pages in his hand.
On his left and right flanks sat two middle-aged men and two young men in white.
A man in a black suit knelt down on one knee in front of him, bowing his head respectfully and waiting.
After reading the contents of the page, Shangguan Wuji rubbed his hands, and all the paper suddenly turned into ashes.
He nodded and said, "You guys have done a good job, and when the matter is completed, this seat will have its own reward, so go down first!"
"I wish to die for my lord!" the man in black nodded his head and left the room without getting up.
Shangguan Wuji turned his head and said to the middle-aged man sitting at the head of his left hand: "Second brother, our plan is going well, the other families are now in the dark, and they can all be killed in three days!"
He waved his palm and made a slashing motion!
The middle-aged man had a fierce face, a deep scar on his thin face, a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon, and a cruel smile on his thin lips.
Everyone who knows knows that he is the commander of the 30,000 city guards in Lingyang, Shangguan Wuyan!
Shangguan Wuya is the younger brother of Shangguan Wuji, who served in the Great Yan Army in his early years, and has today's status only after accumulating military exploits.
"All those who dare to go against our Shangguan family must die, whether it is the Ouyang family or the Shui family!"
"Second uncle!" a young man sitting diagonally opposite him smiled: "I have to ask you for a favor, the Shui family has some life, and they can't afford to make any waves." ”
The corners of Shangguan Wuya's lips pulled out a playful smile, and said: "Aoyang, are you still thinking about that Shui Wanning? That's simple, when the time comes, send a letter to lure her over, second uncle, I will personally take her down, and you won't be at your disposal if you abolish your internal martial arts?"
This young man is Shangguan Wuji's sister-in-law Shangguan Aoyang, since he saw Shui Wanning two years ago, he has never forgotten it, and asked someone to ask the Shui family for marriage several times, but because Shui Wanning's own opposition was unsuccessful, he almost became the laughing stock of the seven families in Lingyang City.
By now, Shangguan Aoyang's heart of wanting to marry Shui Wanning Mingming was also dead, and when he heard Shangguan Wuya's words, he was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you Second Uncle for your success!"
He secretly swore in his heart that when the time came, he would definitely get all the anger he had suffered in the past two years back!
Shangguan Aoyang didn't notice the jealous gaze cast by the other man in white sitting across from him.
This man is Shangguan Wuya's only son, Shangguan Aoyang's cousin Shangguan Aochen.
But usually Shangguan Wuya is better to Shangguan Aoyang than to his own son, if there is any dispute between the two sides, then Shangguan Wuya will definitely favor Shangguan Aoyang.
For example, he also covets Shui Wanning, but he can't compete with Shangguan Aoyang at all.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, Shangguan Aochen still buried his emotions deep in his heart and did not dare to show them, because he had already made countless efforts to be able to sit here, and if he angered his father or uncle, then he would not want to enter the core of Shangguan's family in the future.
Shangguan Aochen turned his head, his eyes happened to meet Shangguan Wuji, who was sitting on Shangguan Wuji's right hand, and the other party's look of smiling made him feel a pang in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head.
Shangguan Wuji is the third brother of Shangguan Wuji, but because he has been weak and sick since he was a child, he usually lives in the mansion and rarely goes out, and many people don't even know about his existence.
Shangguan Wuji was a little displeased: "Your uncle and nephew are really a gang, as long as you have power, there are no women, but Wuyan is not talking about you, you had better put away your mind and don't go to Wanhualou to find that Yun Niang, I won't spare you if you miss a big thing!"
Shangguan Wuya smiled and said: "Big brother, now that the entire Lingyang City is almost under our control, who else can mistake our big affairs? I just went to Wanhualou to drink a few glasses of wine and didn't do anything, if I suddenly didn't go, it would be suspicious, you must know that I am not all alone in the city guards." ”
"If they find out, it may cause trouble, I have a sense of proportion!"
Shangguan Wuji shook his head helplessly, in his opinion, women are just tools for venting ** and having children, as long as they have power and power, they can take it away, and it is a waste of life to pursue any mood.
But everyone has their own ambitions, and his younger brother is good at everything, but this is a weakness.
"Those deputy commanders, keep an eye on them, and if necessary, then kill them!" Shangguan Wuji said coldly: "As soon as the order from Da Chu's side arrives, we will do it immediately!"
Shangguan Wuya's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't worry, they can't turn the sky!"
Shangguan Wuji nodded: "Okay, let's talk here today, you guys will prepare well when you go back!"
"Wow!" the four of them stood up at the same time and replied in unison.
Shangguan Wuji got up with great ambition and said: "As long as our brothers are of the same heart and father and son are united, then the Shangguan family will definitely be carried forward in our hands, and at that time, I, Shangguan Wuji, will definitely not treat my brother badly!"
Shangguan Wuya laughed, Shangguan Wuji smiled faintly, and the two junior brothers were full of smiles.
Outside, the sky was getting darker, the clouds were obscuring the moon, and the wind was blowing!
