Chapter 514: The Panicked Elites
The generals and soldiers on duty witnessed Lin Ze appear in the city, said a shocking word, and flew into the city in the blink of an eye.
The first reaction was that something terrible had happened, and the military generals on duty did not dare to make a decision easily, so they hurriedly sent someone to inform their own master.
Coincidentally, it happened to be the turn of the Meng family to be on duty today, and the news fell into the ears of the head of the Meng family for the first time.
When the head of the Meng family learned of this, his face was immediately shocked, and while instructing his own guards to guard the news and not leak anything, he sent someone to notify the rest of the families to come to discuss the matter.
Long before the launch of this war, the magnates of the various families had reached a simple alliance and agreed to exchange information with each other, and now that such a major event has happened, the head of the Meng family is even more afraid to hide it.
A quarter of an hour later, the heads of all the families who learned the news gathered together, and when they saw the head of the Meng family, they asked, "I don't know why Brother Meng urgently summoned me and others to come?"
The head of the Meng family said with a solemn face: "The guard who was on duty on the city wall just now came with news, saying that he saw a person, claiming to be Lin Ze, the commander of the counterinsurgency, who was covered in injuries and leaped into the city. ”
The man who called himself Lin Ze, when he entered the city, told the soldiers defending the city that the 450,000 troops of the former army had been defeated by the rebels led by the new grandmaster Chen She, and the entire army was annihilated. And Chen Shi will come to Yangzhai City in the near future, and ask me to prepare as soon as possible. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt ringing in the ears of the heads of each family, and the first reaction of the heads of each family was: "This is impossible." ”
That's an army of 450,000 people, just say no, it's gone?
The head of the Xi family couldn't help but ask: "Brother Meng, is what the soldiers defending the city said true? Could it be that someone deliberately released such remarks to disturb the hearts of you and my army?"
The head of the Meng family replied: "Don't panic, according to what the guard said, that person finally fell into the city and disappeared, so it can be seen that the person should still be in Yangzhai City, and he has already sent someone to inquire about the news, if it is really that Lin Ze, it will not be difficult to get the news." ”
As soon as the words fell, a young servant hurriedly ran in from outside: "Third master, the news that you asked the little one to inquire has a result." ”
The head of the Meng family hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, has anyone seen someone fall from the sky?"
The young servant took two breaths and said, "Yes, someone saw a figure falling from the sky and falling into a large mansion in the west of the city. ”
Chengxi? Those who reacted immediately exclaimed: "Fang Xiandao's place of residence is Chengxi, do you think that Lin Ze will run there?"
The heads of each family looked at each other, and their hearts sank, is this really not possible?
No matter who is seriously injured, he will definitely want to seek help from the person he trusts the most, for Lin Ze, in the entire Yangzhai City, is there anyone more worthy of his trust than Fang Xiandao?
Just when everyone had no master, the head of the Meng family stood up and said: "No matter what, whether this matter is true or false must be clarified, and there is no other way at the moment, you and I will go to the Immortal Dao together to take a look, and it will naturally be clear." ”
The others chimed in: "Yes, as soon as the Immortal Dao above asked, it will be clear." ”
The head of the Meng family took the lead, and a group of people followed behind him, walking towards the Immortal Dao Station in the west of the city, and soon came to the gate of the Fang Immortal Dao Station.
The Fang Immortal Dao disciple who had received the order of his own family immediately stopped in front of the door with a horizontal sword and shouted, "Who is here?" ”
The head of the Meng family smiled, bowed his hand, and said: "Ahead, the Fang Immortal Dao is high, and the children of the Meng family in Xia Chang'an have come to visit the Elder Dongfang Crane of your sect, and they also ask the Dao Elder to go and report it." ”
Several Fang Immortal Dao disciples hesitated for a moment, but before they could respond, one of the principals suddenly said impatiently: "Why should Brother Meng be so polite to them, won't they just break in?"
The other principals looked at the open-mouthed principal with strange expressions, Fang Xiandao, a branch of Taoism, has been inherited for thousands of years, are you still afraid that you will not succeed?
Which one pushed out the stupid fork, you have to be careful when you go back and cooperate with their family, otherwise if you are affected by this kind of family that has never seen the world and can't figure it out, it will be really embarrassing and disgraced.
I saw that the Fang Immortal Dao disciple who heard these words immediately unsheathed his sword and said loudly: "There is an enemy attacking, go and inform the elders and prepare for battle." ”
The head of the Meng family glared at the person who spoke indiscriminately, and hurriedly said: "Don't be excited, all the Dao Chiefs, your companions are disrespectful, and you are here to make amends to the Dao Chief, and you also hope that the Dao Leader Haihan." It's just that I really have something to see ......"
The sword-wielding disciple directly interrupted: "Please don't open your mouth, everything will wait for my family elders to come and decide." As for the one who looked down on our Immortal Dao, I hope that he can still maintain this attitude under the pursuit of tens of thousands of Fang Immortal Dao disciples and millions of believers. ”
The person who spoke just now reacted that he seemed to have offended some great person, and was about to open his mouth to justify: "I ......"
However, he was rudely interrupted by the head of the Meng family: "You shut up for me." ”
The man's face was blue and white, and his heart was extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to attack.
The head of the Meng family didn't even look at him, and smiled at the Fang Immortal Dao disciple: "Then everything will be said when the elders of your sect come." ”
The attitude of the head of the Meng family is not because the Meng family and the magnates of the various families are afraid of Fang Xiandao, but because an old ancestor of the Meng family, his grandmother, believes in Fang Xiandao.
If he let his grandmother know that he was disrespectful to the other party's immortals, it would be strange if he didn't smoke him when he turned around.
As for the reason, does the grandmother need a reason to smoke her grandson?
I don't know what the disciples who went in to deliver the message said, and dozens of Fang Immortal Dao disciples suddenly poured out, and under the leadership of several elders, they came to the door.
Some disciples even held a stack of talismans in their hands, ready to stimulate them at any time, and threw them at the heads of each family.
The first elder saw that it was the head of the Meng family and the others, and said with a cold face: "You are all well-known figures in Chang'an City, gathered here today, are you dissatisfied with our immortal Dao and want to fight?"
The head of the Meng family hurriedly stretched out his right hand and waved it left and right: "Elder Song is serious, I will wait here, but I have something important to ask, and I hope that the elder will not hesitate to answer." ”
Elder Song showed a suspicious look on his face: "What do you want to ask?"
The head of the Meng family coughed lightly and said, "Dare to ask if the sect master of your sect is back?"
Elder Song said with a look of surprise on his face, "How do you know?"
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the heads of each family suddenly sank to the bottom, so to speak, is it true that Chen Shi made a move and the army was annihilated?
The head of the Meng family said with an anxious face: "Please ask Elder Song to introduce your sect leader Lin Ze on your behalf, I urgently need to see him and confirm some things." ”
Elder Song shook his head and said, "My sect master is seriously injured and unconscious, and he can't see guests, so please go back." ”
Seriously injured and unconscious? The heads of each family have already believed eighty percent in their hearts, if it weren't for the grandmaster's action, who would let a six-rank peak martial artist leave behind hundreds of thousands of troops and flee with serious injuries?
The head of the Meng family was not reconciled, and asked, "I wonder what your sect master said before he fell into a coma?"
Elder Song shook his head and said, "The only person the sect master saw before he fell into a coma was Elder Dongfang He, whether he had said anything or not, it is unknown to the poor Dao. ”
The head of the Meng family further said, "Can you introduce Elder Dongfang Crane of your sect?"
Elder Song thought for a while and said, "Poor Dao asked on behalf of Meng Jushi, whether Elder Dongfang would see the layman, Poor Dao didn't dare to guarantee it." ”
The head of the Meng family bowed and said: "So that Elder Song can know that the sect master of your sect is the commander of our counterinsurgency army, and he is also our superiors, how can his news be related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the city, and I hope that Elder Song must persuade Elder Dongfang to meet us and others." ”
Hearing this, Elder Song was silent for a few breaths, and then spoke: "What the layman said, the poor dao should have conveyed all the words to the elder of the east, whether the elder of the east is willing to see you or not, it is all up to the will of the elder of the east, and the poor dao will not interfere more." ”
After speaking, Elder Song waved his hand to disperse dozens of disciples, and turned around and entered the mansion.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Elder Song came to the door again and said indifferently: "Elder Dongfang promised to meet you, but there is one condition, there cannot be more than three people, you can discuss it, and after determining the candidate, you can go in with the poor road." ”
