Text Chapter 19: The Zhu family's counterattack
Fengyang City, inside the Zhu family's mansion.
"Waste, waste, you're all waste. ”
Zhu Di, the head of the Zhu family, looked at the four heads on the table, was furious, grabbed the precious green jade tea cup, and threw it out the door.
In the corridor outside the room, the people shivered, fearing that the head of the house would turn his anger on them.
The four heads in front of him are Zhu Jianwen, and there are three other Zhu family worshippers.
The heads of Zhu Jianwen's four people were sent by the Li family this morning, saying that they were a few thieves caught in Chang'an City, and asked Zhu Di to help them.
said that he was for Zhu Di to see, but in fact, he came to demonstrate, and blatantly told the Zhu family that this was the end of going against the Li family.
"Say, what are we going to do now?"
After venting his anger, Zhu Di stared at the three people present with red eyes and asked questions.
Inside the house, in addition to him, there were the only three remaining Heavenly Realm powerhouses on Zhu Jiaming's face, Zhu Biao, the fourth elder of the Zhu family, Zhu Huo, the second eldest Zhu Huo, and Huang Siwu, all of whom were in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm.
These strengths, on the surface, seem quite good, but they are not enough to support their huge family.
A month ago, their Zhu family, and there were eight Heaven Realm powerhouses, but now there are only half of them.
"Big brother, the Li family is too much of a deception, we must retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, we can't just forget it. ”
Zhu Huo was a rough man with tiger eyes, staring at Zhu Jianwen's head, his eyes burning with anger.
Zhu Jianwen is the fifth of their brothers, and he is usually the closest to him, but now that Zhu Jianwen has been killed by the Li family, he is the first to jump out and go to the Li family to take revenge.
"Yes, eldest brother, although our Zhu family's strength has been damaged, we will never allow the Li family to insult us like this, if we let the rest of the big families, especially the Qin family outside Guanwai, and the Liu family in Guanzhong know, they will definitely take the opportunity to covet the position of our Zhu family. ”
Zhu Biao said viciously, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and he was deeply worried about the situation that the Zhu family was facing now.
Their Zhu family, now there are only four Heavenly Realm powerhouses left, and it can be said that it has reached the most dangerous moment.
"What you said makes sense, but at the moment, our strength is no longer enough to support us to take action against the Li family, if we send people to Chang'an City again, I am afraid there will be damage, and now we, a master of the Heavenly Realm, cannot afford to lose. ”
Zhu Di listened to the words of the two brothers and said with a dark face.
When Zhu Biao and Zhu Huo heard this, they could only be silent, they all knew that Zhu Di was telling the truth, and the current Zhu family really couldn't stand the toss.
Zhu Di looked at the only outsider in the room and asked, "Brother Huang, what do you think about this matter?"
Huang Siwu was worshiped by the Zhu family, and on this occasion, he didn't have any right to speak, since the head of the family asked, he got up and said: "Family master, since the Li family can reward our Zhu family's Heavenly Realm master in the dark star, why don't we go the opposite way and reward the core members of the Li family in the killer organization?"
When Zhu Di and the others heard this, their faces were strange and there was a hint of embarrassment.
After a long time, Zhu Biaocai said: "Brother Huang doesn't know, this Li family in Chang'an City is simply crazy, our Zhu family did reward the core members of their Li family back then, and even assassinated the fifth Li family, Li Zimu, but the Li family's later revenge was too tragic." If we can, we are not willing to assassinate the core members of the Li family, and the killer organization of the Great Song Kingdom is generally not willing to accept the reward of the Li family. ”
"Why is this? Could it be that the Li family is really so powerful?" Huang Siwu said curiously.
He has only joined the Zhu family for two years, and he has heard that the Li family and the Zhu family have deep grievances, but he doesn't know that the hatred between the two families has long been deep-rooted. There is simply no way to mediate.
Zhu Biao glanced at the head of the family, and with the latter's permission, he sighed: "This is all an old thing, thirteen years ago, we cooperated with the second-ranked killer organization of the Great Song Kingdom, the Bloody Hand, to assassinate the fifth child of the Li family, but what I didn't expect was that this touched the reverse scale of the Li family." They then cooperated with the Dark Star Organization and began to assassinate the core members of our Zhu family, my second brother, or the seventh brother, and the eighth sister, all of whom were killed by the hired killers of the Li family. ”
Huang Siwu opened his mouth and said sluggishly: "This ...... They are so arrogant and so unscrupulous, aren't they afraid of royal sanctions?"
"The royal family, the royal family is a fart, and the royal family is just bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. ”
Zhu Biao obviously had a lot of dissatisfaction with the royal family, and with a cold face, he burst into a foul language, and said: "Moreover, this Li family not only attacked our Zhu family, but even targeted the bloody hand organization, they sent a legion to encircle and suppress the lair of the bloody hand organization in one fell swoop." I remember that battle clearly, the fifteen Heavenly Realm powerhouses in the Bloody Hand Organization, and hundreds of masters above the seventh level of the Mortal Realm, were besieged by an army of 200,000, and in less than half an hour, they were all wiped out. These killers, no matter how powerful they are, can only carry out assassinations, and they are completely inferior to the army in frontal combat! Even the number one master in the Bloody Hand Organization, the peak of the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, and the Bloody Slaughterer who can advance to build a foundation with only one line, did not escape the doom, and was besieged by more than a dozen Heavenly Realm masters sent by the Li family, and finally died tragically in the midst of thousands of troops. ”
Huang Siwu looked stunned and said in disbelief: "This Li family, is there no one who can restrain them?"
"Yes, of course, there is, but the Li family is not afraid of our Zhu family, what they are afraid of is the royal family behind our Zhu family. Many years ago, the royal Yang family had a stalemate with the Li family. The royal family is powerful and began to support our Zhu family, which is why our Zhu family has been able to maintain itself and rank among the three major families. Otherwise, our Zhu family would have been removed from the Li family a long time ago. How can it support until now. ”
Zhu Huo said sadly, quite helpless in his words.
Huang Siwu is from an ordinary background, and he never knew that there was such a secret between the three major families and the royal family, and he was very happy and excited to hear it.
He didn't know that after hearing these secrets, he could only join the Zhu family's big car in the future, otherwise, he would be wiped out by the Zhu family.
From then on, he could only die and follow the Zhu family.
The conversation box opened, and Zhu Di didn't plan to hide it, so he said in his heart: "Don't look at our Zhu family as strong, but compared with the Li family and the royal family, we are nothing, just angry at both ends." ”
"Who says it's not. ”
Zhu Huo also complained: "Our Zhu family has today, our ancestors are willing to be the sword in the hands of the royal family, and they have been fighting with the Li family, and they have won it by themselves." It is our ancestors, hundreds of blood brothers, who have fought with their blood, so we must fight with the Li family, and only by fighting with the Li family, for the royal family, we can only use value, will continue to give us support, and our family can continue to continue. Otherwise, our Zhu family will soon be replaced by the later family. ”
"But this time, the loss of four Heavenly Realm powerhouses at once is too great a blow to our Li family. ”
After hearing this, Huang Siwu fell into deep thought, and after a long time, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Since this is the case, then why don't we ask the royal family for help, the Zhu family has suffered heavy losses this time, and the royal family will definitely not sit idly by, if they don't care, won't it chill your hearts." The royal family can't even see this form, right?"
"This?"
Zhu Di's face was cloudy, their Zhu family used to rush to the front to fight with the Li family, and occasionally they couldn't support it, so they would accept the friendly support of the royal family.
It never occurred to them to seek direct help from the royal family.
If you do this, you have a feeling of admittion, as if you are telling the royal family that they are not as good as the Li family.
However, their Zhu family is not as good as the Li family, isn't it obvious, and the royal family also knows it.
"Is that okay?" asked Zhu Biao, not very sure.
"It's hard to say. ”
Zhu Huo shook his head, his eyes were bright, and he felt unreliable.
They are just swords in the hands of the royal family, and the sword is not fast, just sharpen it, but they have never asked the royal family to add another sword and fight with the Li family together.
This is a question that they never considered.
"I think I can give it a try. ”
As an outsider, Huang Siwu's way of looking at the problem was different from the three members of the Zhu family, he raised his head and looked at the sky outside the house, and said: "The royal worship of Liu Rulai is in Fengyang City at this moment, his cultivation is in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, if we can ask him to help deal with the Li family, our Zhu family will reduce a lot of pressure." ”
"Liu Ru is coming?"
The three members of the Zhu family naturally knew who Liu Rulai was.
They even knew that Liu Rulai was a 150-year-old scoundrel and liar.
These days, Liu Rulai relied on the identity of the royal family to cheat and eat and drink in Fengyang City, and it was the Zhu family who wiped this person's buttocks.
If it weren't for the strength of this guy, the Zhu family would have driven him away a long time ago.
"Ask Liu Ru to make a move, I'm afraid it will cost a lot. ”
Zhu Huorou said painfully.
Their Zhu family is only the head of the family in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, representing the strongest power of the Zhu family, and they want to sit in the family land, and they can't make a move easily.
However, to ask a late-stage powerhouse like Liu Rulai to make a move, he also needs at least a medium-grade magic weapon.
After all, in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, it was almost the top of the Great Song Kingdom, and it belonged to the unsolvable existence.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, and said: "Liu Rulai's temperament, we also know that he is greedy and excessive, at this juncture, if you want him to make a move, this person will definitely open his mouth." If the eldest brother asks him to make a move, please think twice. It's a big deal, in the past few years, our Zhu family has recuperated and focused on cultivating the next generation, and after ten years, we will compete with his Li family. ”
"Isn't the revenge of the fifth child revenge won't be avenged? Are you sure that doing this will not chill the hearts of the other dead brothers and sisters?"
Zhu Huo said angrily, obviously disagreeing with Zhu Biao's point of view.
Zhu Biao spread out his palms, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Then what else can I do? If we continue to fight, the Li family will be fine, and our Zhu family will really perish." Do you want a few brothers to go to the funeral of the fifth child? Speaking of which, our Zhu family is too weak, if we have twenty Heavenly Realm powerhouses, whether it is the Li family or the royal family, we can not bird them. ”
"Alright, don't talk about it, let me think about it. ”
Zhu Di rubbed his head, feeling quite a headache, he looked at Huang Siwu and asked, "Brother Huang, this proposal was made by you, what do you think?"
Huang Siwu hesitated, cautiously looked at the three members of the Zhu family, and said: "I have a way, but I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, the three of them will kill me immediately." ”
Zhu Di's eyes were calm, and he said frankly: "Brother Huang, it doesn't matter, as long as it is beneficial to my Zhu family, I won't blame you." ”
"Alright, I'll just say it. ”
Huang Siwu straightened his chest, swallowed his saliva, strengthened his courage, and said: "Liu Ru is here to be a hungry ghost, and he has been running to the Sanhua Building every night for the past few days, looking for the woman in the Qinglou to have fun, why don't we do what he likes and lure him with sex." ”
"It's better to pay attention to this! Brother Huang, it's better for you to do this. ”
Zhu Huo listened, his eyes lit up, a thick smile appeared on his face, he rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "I'll go and find dozens of women with gorgeous faces, and then send them to Liu Ru and ask him to help." ”
As he spoke, he was impatient to leave.
"Brother Fire, please wait. ”
Huang Siwu stopped Zhu Huo, and stopped talking: "Three, ordinary women, it is impossible for Liu Ru to be tempted, and it is impossible for him to be willing to deal with the Li family." If you want Liu Ru to make a move, you still have to ask Miss Zhu Mingyue. ”
When Zhu Huo heard these words, he was furious, and his whole body trembled with anger: "What do you say? Say it again, believe it or not, I'll kill you now?
He was about to beat him, and scolded: "Let me Zhu Jiamingzhu go and give Liu Ru that old horseman to sleep, garbage sleep, this is your way? Why don't you die? As long as the men of our Zhu family are not dead, it is impossible to betray their own women." ”
Huang Siwu was aggrieved and said: "Brother Huo, I also said just now, this is not a good way, it is the head of the family who speaks, let me say it." ”
"Second brother, don't blame Brother Huang, I asked him to say it. ”
Zhu Di raised his hand, stopped the angry Zhu Huo, and said: "This method is good, an ordinary woman, no matter how beautiful she is, has no status, how can she let Liu Rulai be willing to make a move, Xiao Mingyue She is different, he is my daughter, he is the pearl of my Zhu family, bright and far-reaching, sacrifice for the family, it is right." ”
"Big brother, do you really have the heart to let Mingyue accompany Liu Ru? We can think long term. ”
Zhu Biao was heartbroken, tears swirled in his eyes, and he glared at Huang Siwu angrily, it was this bastard who actually let the noble daughter of the Zhu family go to accompany a bad old man.
This kind of thing can be said, and its heart can be punished.
Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently and said firmly: "Don't say it, I have made up my mind, and this matter is so decided." As long as Liu Rulai can kill a few of the Li family's Heavenly Realm powerhouses, Mingyue's efforts will be worth it. You two don't want to, am I willing? Mingyue is my daughter, won't I feel heartache? But for the sake of the family, we can only do this. We can only endure humiliation, unless one day, our strength is stronger than the Li family and the royal family, and we can get out of today's situation. ”
Looking at Zhu Di's distorted face, Zhu Huo knew that the most insulted person at the moment was the eldest brother, so he could only lower his head and stop talking.
Just in the corners of the eyes, tears slipped down.
"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Zhu Di commanded Huang Siwu.
"Yes, family master, I will definitely let Liu Ru come, willingly, to serve our Zhu family. ”
Huang Siwu bowed and left with a happy face.
Looking at Huang Siwu's back, Zhu Biao thoughtfully: "Big brother, Huang Siwu, I'm afraid I'm ......"
"Don't say it, I know it all. ”
Zhu Di's eyes were dark, like a poisonous snake, and Sen Han said: "Hmph, don't worry, this person won't live this winter, and he actually took the woman of my Zhu family to curry favor with the royal family, do you really think I'm a fool? If it weren't for Liu Ru to support or instigate him behind his back, how dare he make such an unreasonable demand." ”
"Big brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that Huang Siwu wants to betray our Zhu family? I'll kill him. ”
Zhu Huo didn't know why, he was a straight-hearted person and didn't know how to do crooked ways, but he was extremely happy to kill Huang Siwu.
"Don't mess around. ”
Zhu Di frowned, and said, "Don't interfere in this matter, I will let the fourth child do it secretly." ”
"Know, I'm going to make this life worse than death. ”
Zhu Biao said coldly, and there was a cruel light flashing in his two small eyes.
He decided, and cut Huang Siwu, a person who eats inside and out, with a thousand knives.
