The black-robed man listened to Old Lady Nie's words, but did not answer, just bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this old guy blatantly made provocative remarks, and he had no scruples when he wanted to come to this point. It seems that he has made up his mind, and he must get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families. However, if this black-robed man surnamed Lu really has no resentment towards Old Lady Lu, he should naturally refute Old Lady Nie at this time. Looking at his appearance, he didn't say a word, but he was afraid that he was already dissatisfied with Old Lady Lu in his heart. The Nie family knows the situation of the Lu family well, and if the two families turn against each other, the Nie family will definitely have the upper hand.

Seeing that the black-robed man bowed his head and was silent, Old Lady Nie snorted, turned his head again, and said to a sixty or seventy-year-old gray-robed old man standing at the bottom of the stone steps: "Old Zhao, do you see it? At the critical moment, before the enemy could make a move, his own people lay down first. ”

The gray-robed old man looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and then said: "Second Brother Lu's body has not been very good in recent years, maybe there has been a delay on the road, and Brother Nie doesn't have to care." ”

Old Lady Nie sneered and said, "Even if his body is not very good, his sons are not only as strong as oxen, but also have a lot of fire. The eldest and second eldest of his family have purchased thousands of hectares of fertile land in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and the rent of the five Zhuangzi is no less than 100,000 taels of silver a year, but over the years, when have you seen them come out to do things for the four of us? In order to deal with the Xu family, the first battle in Haizhou, our three elites have exhausted. But Lu Lao Er just sent a few unwanted sons with some shrimp soldiers and crabs to deal with errands. Your Zhao family died more than 60 people in the battle in Haizhou, and more than 10 brothers died in the hands of the Xu family. Not to mention the Du family, the long house has died cleanly, and even the few rooms on the side branches are mostly lost in Haizhou. In order to plan this war, our Nie family began to act secretly four or five years ago, spending a huge amount of money for this, and my two sons gave their lives for this, and as for the other rooms of the Nie family, there were also twenty or thirty people killed in the battle in Haizhou. ”

When Old Lady Nie said this, she sighed heavily and said to the gray-robed man, "I'm disheartened. After the matter here is over, don't say anything about the five families in Fengmen Village. Let's split up and go our separate ways. ”

The gray-robed old man was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Nie, this, this can't be ......."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone say: "Third Uncle Zhao, your old man is really a kind-hearted person. At this point, he also made a statement to defend Second Uncle Lu, he was really sold, and he had to count the money for others?!"

When everyone in the courtyard heard this, their hearts were all shocked, and they all turned their heads to look at the corner gate. I saw more than a dozen people walking into the courtyard from the corner gate, and the person at the head was Zhang Baixing, the master of the Yamen of Xiuwu County.

Li Qiufeng looked fixedly, but saw that Zhang Baixing's dress was different from the past. The original robe has been replaced by a cyan tights, and the outside is covered with leather armor, and a long sword hangs from the waist. The dozen or so people who followed behind him were all extremely strong, and they were all carrying long swords behind them. Li Qiufeng looked at these dozen people and looked a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that these dozen people were all apprentices of Cui Yanshou, the head of Tianlongmen.

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhang Baixing rushed to the City God Temple with the people of Tianlongmen, and secretly thought in his heart, right now in Xiuwu County, if in terms of martial arts and strength, Tianlongmen is far above the Thunder Fist Gate, Shijia Knife, and Biyunwu. It seems that the Nie family has bought Tianlongmen and wants to rely on Cui Yanshou to resist the Japanese invaders. Maybe he will use Cui Yanshou's hand to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families. Cui Yanshou is greedy and a villain who has milk and is a mother. However, this person's martial arts are not weak, and with his help, the Nie family's strength will naturally increase greatly.

I saw Zhang Bai walking in front of Old Lady Nie, bowing down and saying, "My nephew has already made arrangements, please give an order from my uncle, and we will do it immediately!"

As soon as Zhang Baixing's words came out, not only Li Qiufeng was taken aback, but the black-robed man surnamed Lu and the gray-robed old man surnamed Zhao also changed their faces greatly. Everyone thought in their hearts, the enemy did not show up at the moment, but Zhang Baixing said, "I have to do it immediately", but what does this mean?

The black-robed man surnamed Lu is indeed as Old Lady Nie said, and he is not happy in the Lu family. Not only did Old Lady Lu not want to see him, but several brothers had always been commanding him, snorting and drinking. Over the years, whenever there was a dangerous thing, it was often done by him and two or three other undesirable brothers, so he escaped death several times. In the battle of Haizhou a few months ago, he was even more dead, almost killed. Although he escaped with his life, a younger brother died tragically under the knife of the Xu family, and the black-robed man saw the tragedy at that time. After the Battle of Haizhou, the black-robed man had nightmares almost every night, often seeing bloody steel knives slashing at his body in his dreams. When Old Lady Nie spoke, he pointed out that Old Lady Lu was biased and intended to send the black-robed man to death. Although the black-robed man knew that Old Lady Nie had bad intentions and deliberately made provocative remarks, he had endured it in his heart for many years, knowing that what Old Lady Nie said was the truth, so he didn't say anything to refute it. At this time, when he heard Zhang Baixing say that he wanted to "do it", he felt a pang in his heart, and secretly thought that his father and several brothers had said that the Nie family had always wanted to get rid of the Lu, Zhao, and Du families all these years, but they were afraid that the Xu family had not been destroyed, so they had to endure it. After the first battle of Haizhou, the Xu family was wiped out, and the Nie family had no worries, but they were afraid that they would attack the three families at any time. When the black-robed people rushed to Xiuwu County, they were already vigilant, and they were always on guard against the disadvantage of the Nie family. At this moment, seeing Zhang Baixing's murderous spirit, he was terrified, for fear that the Nie family was going to attack him, so he involuntarily took two steps back, and his right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword.

Although Old Lady Nie narrowed her eyes, she could already see the movements of the black-robed man clearly. He snorted and said, "Then hurry up, within an hour, you must get things done properly!"

Zhang Baixing said: "Uncle don't worry, we have practiced dozens of times, and it only takes half an hour, and Guan Bao makes this City God's Temple stronger than the Forbidden City!"

When Li Qiufeng heard Zhang Baixing say this, he was a little confused, and he didn't know what he meant. He secretly watched everyone's expressions, but saw that except for Old Lady Nie and Zhang Baixing and other members of the Nie family, the rest of the people were all confused, and they didn't seem to know what Zhang Baixing meant by this.

After Zhang Baixing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the crowd and walked through the corner gate to the front yard. After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps in the front yard, followed by a chaotic sound of "crackling", mixed with the sound of axes and chisels. It seems that someone is building a house.

Most of the people in the backyard didn't know what was going on, so they couldn't help but turn their heads and look around. Old lady Nie still squinted her eyes, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had already made up her mind. The black-robed man surnamed Lu showed a frightened look on his face and said to Old Lady Nie, "Uncle Lu, what's going on?"

Old Lady Nie smiled slightly and said, "Old Seven, you don't have to worry. Your father is unkind, but I can't be unjust. You are my nephew, and even if the sky falls, I will not harm you. It is for you to put your heart back in your stomach and act according to the plan we have set. As long as you help me destroy the pirates today, I can give you a packing ticket, and in the future, the head of the Lu family will definitely be your seventh brother. ”

Before the black-robed man could answer, the gray-robed old man surnamed Zhao said: "Brother Lu, you don't want us to stay here, if there is an enemy to attack, you must fight to kill the enemy." But the enemy didn't show up, and it was as if they were building a house outside......"

Before the gray-robed old man could speak, he could only hear the sound of footsteps, and a group of people poured in from the corner door. These people carried wood, planks, iron plates and other miscellaneous objects, and when they entered the backyard, they piled up the wood and other items by the wall, pulled out axes and chisels from their waists, and began to work on their own. The crowd was puzzled and looked at these people with a look of astonishment. Seeing these people build up wood and planks, it seems that they really want to build a house in the backyard.

Old Lady Nie looked suspicious, smiled slightly, and said, "It's not a secret, this City God Temple is another foundation of our five families outside of Fengmen Village. In the past few years, Dingzhong and Baixing have dealt with the Xu family and have thought of a good strategy. When it comes to a critical moment, the temple can be turned into a fortress at any time. You don't have to worry, just wait to see a good show. ”

In the blink of an eye, one or two hundred people had poured into the backyard. These people were all dressed in short shirts, and they all looked like master carpenters. I saw that they first erected a wooden frame more than two feet high, slightly higher than the wall. Then the planks were laid on top of the wooden frame, and iron plates were erected at the top of the shelves. It took only one pillar of incense to erect a wooden wall in the backyard close to the wall.
