Hanyang Prefecture, Linghu House.

No, it should be said that it is the He Mansion now, the territory of the Linghu family has long been occupied by the He family as the king, it can be said that the reason why the He family has been able to get to this point is that it has "inherited" the property of the Linghu family. If this were not the case, how could just a small He family expand its power to the entire Hanyang Prefecture and even the entire Kyushu Branch?

As early as when the princess of the He family, He Yan and Ling Hubai got along, the high-level officials of the He family had already begun to plot this plan.

The patriarch of the He family is even willing to sacrifice his daughter for his own selfish interests, in this way, it is indeed a thing that is inferior to animals!

But people in the rivers and lakes, such things are especially one or two?

People's hearts are unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, and in this chaotic world, there are really few people or things that can be completely trusted.

Do you think it's so easy for the Linghu family to go from a small sect to the top? To put it bluntly, this is a pile of human lives! The souls of Linghu Bai's subordinates are countless. But Ling Hubai was not satisfied, Ling Hubai wanted to become the number one in the world, he wanted it too much! So he conspired with several families to destroy the Han family, which was the number one in the world at that time. But he was also killed because of this, and several major families attacked it en masse, and it was planned a long time ago.

How bleak?

Therefore, it is understandable to say that the fate of the Linghu family is karma.

"Report to the patriarch, Patriarch Lin sent a messenger to visit. A doorman knelt on one knee outside the lobby and shouted.

Obviously, as soon as these words came out, several people in the room shook violently to varying degrees, but they quickly returned to their original appearance.

Sitting at the top, that is, the patriarch of the He family, bowed slightly: "Recruit him in!"

"Yes!"

Soon, there was a Confucian scholar, a feather fan, who slowly walked into the He Mansion. Words and deeds reveal arrogance that is difficult to hide.

Even if he is in He Mansion, there is no one and he is not afraid, this courage alone is not something that ordinary people can do, and he is worthy of being the messenger sent by the Lin Patriarch.

"My patriarch wants to invite Patriarch He to dine together in Yangzhou City, more than 30 miles to the north, and it will be scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. ”

The Confucian said very calmly, it is worth noting that the Confucian did not pay any salute to the patriarch He. It stands to reason that Patriarch He is at the same level as Patriarch Lin, and the Confucian scholar is younger, so he should salute when he sees Patriarch He, but the Confucian priest did not salute at this time. Not only that, but even the words were filled with a faint contempt! If this had been replaced by an ordinary person, he would have been dragged out and beheaded a hundred and eighty times. But precisely because this person is an envoy sent by the Lin family, if the He family does something to him, it will be a great disrespect to the Lin family!

For the Lin family, the He family is still very jealous, after all, the current He family seems to be powerful, but in fact it is just a papier-mâché tiger.

Let's say, this envoy did not panic in the slightest, and his strength must be good, although he may not be able to beat the people of the He family here, but if he wants to get out, then the people of the He family will definitely not be able to stay!

"Does Patriarch Lin have anything else to say?" Patriarch He asked after agreeing to the request for a meal.

The Confucian smiled slightly: "Patriarch He is too worried, there are some things, we have to wait until Patriarch Lin comes to say, tomorrow afternoon, Yangzhou City, I hope Patriarch He will not be late." ”

After that, the Confucian scholar swaggered out of He Mansion and disappeared.

Leaving the people of the He family with shocked faces, at this time, Patriarch Lin and Patriarch He dined, and the matter must not be as simple as dining.

The family forces captured Kyushu, and the He family didn't know what they could think of more or less at the moment.

A year ago, when those family forces began to conquer Kyushu, the He family had a heated discussion about it, and finally came to the conclusion that it was necessary to avoid its edge.

As long as those family forces don't take the initiative to attack themselves, then they can forbear to a certain extent, and the big deal is to give up. This is still very self-aware for the He family. If the strength of the He family is against the iron hooves of those family forces, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than those cities that have been breached.

It is precisely because of this that the power of the He family has almost shrunk and shrunk in the past year.

But at this time, Patriarch Lin actually took the initiative to invite Patriarch He to dinner, what was his intention? It is unknown for the time being, but the He family is not a fool, and there is nothing good after all.

But in any case, after all, you have to go, and people have come to invite you to dinner, if you don't go, won't it be clear that you are not happy to tell the other party that I see you unhappy? Secondly, it also gives those family forces a good excuse to attack the He family.

You can only take one step at a time!

............

That night.

"Patriarch, please let me go with me, this time I went, after all, it is in their territory, if something happens...... the Great Elder said in a deep voice.

Patriarch He snorted, and then didn't say anything more, how could Patriarch He not know in his heart?

To be honest, the current Patriarch He regretted it a little, and never thought that he would fall to such a point. At that time, it was a thousand calculations, but in the end, it still became a stepping stone for others.

Back then, it was only one of the hundreds of families in Kyushu that was about to decline and disappear, but now it is suddenly soaring, so that the He family is still a little unbearable. They are always afraid, afraid that their hard-won wealth will be lost, and even more afraid that they will lose their lifeline. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and this is what he said.

Patriarch He didn't stay too long, and set off with a total of four elders, including a hundred elite horsemen and the Great Elder.

More than a hundred miles, if the sword flies, it will naturally not take overnight, but the hundred elite riders will not be able to fly the sword, so they have to set off at night.

At the same time, Patriarch He also specially brought a piece of jade and jade as a gift to Patriarch Lin. However, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to eliminate the killing intent of the Lin family towards the He family, anyway, for the He family, who has "inherited" the Linghu family, even if it is a good jade gem, it is just one of thousands of playthings, useless.

It's just to survive a glimmer of life.

On the way, eight dead soldiers carried a sedan chair by Patriarch He, and Patriarch He sat alone in it. The rest of the men followed, and only a few elders were able to flank him. The sedan chair is not very gorgeous, it is not that the patriarch He is low-key, but he does not dare to be high-profile when he goes this time! If he is dressed up in a golden and brilliant appearance, he is still afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the Lin family.

"Patriarch He, tell me a word of unhappiness, if the Linghu family hadn't perished at that time, or if we hadn't taken the Linghu family for ourselves, what would it look like now?" the Great Elder said softly, with a slight sigh and helplessness in his words.

Patriarch He didn't speak, sitting in the sedan chair, no one knew what Patriarch He was doing or thinking at this time, but at this time, he should be as melancholy as the Great Elder, right?

If the Linghu family hadn't perished at the beginning, if the He family hadn't taken the Linghu family for themselves, there was no need to think about it, the current He family was still a small sect living in a corner, with little reputation, and there was no gold and silver treasure that could be squandered now. But on the other hand, there will not be such a grim scene as it is now. No matter how famous and poor he was before, it was just that the family was dissolved, and some of the family funds were taken out, so that he could still go to Changzhou to spend his old age in peace.

But now it's different, the current He family is like a big piece of fat meat, and those family forces are quick knives, and they can chop up the He family's big fat meat at any time.

But if it comes, it will be safe.

How many times did the He family finally collapse because of this incident, so it can only be said that this is some kind of karma?

This piece of rivers and lakes is originally a Shura field, and it will not stop until the last person.
