Qi Mansion, backyard pavilion.

In the pavilion, two old men are playing chess.

One of them was Qi Tan, the head of the Qi family. He was wearing a white long-sleeved and wide robe and sat upright. His sparse pale hair was neatly combed into a bun on his head and fixed it with a jade hairpin. Qi Tan stared at the chessboard, smiled at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to pinch a white piece, and then fell down, and said, "Tian Pu, it's your turn."

The person opposite is Tian Pu.

Tian Pu held a black piece, looked at the situation on the chessboard, and looked at the look of joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Old Qi, if I go down this chess piece, you will lose all your power."

Smack

With a crisp sound, Tian Pu made a comeback.

In an instant, a large number of Baizi on Qi Tan's chessboard were immediately killed or injured.

Qi Tan's face remained unchanged and said calmly: "This is the case of chess on the surface, but you can't just look at the surface. When doing things, you must look far away from others and not just focus on the interests in front of you."

Qi Tan fell, and in an instant, the situation of the White Chess suddenly changed, and it turned the tide in an instant.

Tian Pu was surprised and suddenly ran away.

After a long time, Tian Pu abandoned his son and said, "Old Qi is superb in chess, and I am convinced by the younger generation."

Qi Tan ordered someone to put away the chessboard, put the tea on it, and after taking a sip of the tea, he said slowly: "You are just not here, you are full of your mind waiting for Xu Zang's news."

Tian Pudian nodded and said, "It is related to the future of the Qingzhou family, and it is impossible not to care about it."

Qi Tan said: "When it comes to Wang Yan, I feel a little worried."

Tian Pu said: "What are you worried about? This time the plan to kill Wang Yan is linked one by one, and it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake. Furthermore, in order to completely wipe out Wang Yan, five thousand troops were dispatched, which is the absolute force of Linzi County. Even if Huang Zhong failed to succeed, he would definitely win this battle. What I care about is when the news of victory will be obtained, but what you are considering is that the outcome is unknown?"

Qi Tan twisted the beard under his jaw and said, "In the past few days, I have asked someone to collect some information about Wang Yan. I found that although Wang Yan was young, he always planned and acted before moving, and he acted ruthlessly, killing people without blinking. On the contrary, our plan was progressing too smoothly. According to Wang Yan's ability, it should not be so smooth."

Tian Pu smiled and said, "After all, Huang Zhong is the inner supporter, so it's so smooth."

"Huang Zhong" Qi Tan raised his gray eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and he said, "The variable this time is Huang Zhong. From beginning to end, Huang Zhong is connected, and he is the biggest variable. It is very likely that it is because of him that the situation will change."

Tian Pu said: "Old Qi, you are so careful."

Tian Pu felt that Qi Tan had thought too much.

"Report"

Suddenly, the attendant came hurriedly. After he saluted, he said, "Master, a man who called himself Zhuge Xuan came from outside the mansion. He said he was Wang Yan's subordinate and was here to give Wang Yan a gift."

Qi Tan's heart skipped a beat and had a bad premonition, saying, "Please invite someone to the hall, and I will come later."

"promise"

The attendant saluted and then left in a hurry.

Qi Tan looked at Tian Pu and said, "Sure enough, something happened."

Tian Pu still disbelief and said, "Old Qi, you should not make any mistakes in the plan. Even if there is a problem with Huang Zhong's link, it will not be affected. Perhaps, Wang Yan is defeated and will give gifts to surrender."

Qi Tan shook his head and said, "It is impossible to surrender. This time something must have happened. Furthermore, Huang Zhong's link is the most important thing for Wang Yan. This link is the key."

Tian Pu opened his mouth and planned to defend himself again.

Qi Tan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, and you will know when you go to the hall to meet Zhuge Xuan."

Tian Pu nodded and headed towards the hall with Qi Tan.

When he arrived in the hall, Qi Tan saw Zhuge Xuan and a follower. In the hands of the follower, he was holding a box that was four feet long, one foot wide and one foot high.

The guest and host sat down, Qi Tan said, "What's wrong with me in my house?"

Zhuge Xuan smiled and said, "Give gifts to the head of Qi's hometown."

"Come on, present it to the head of Qi's hometown."

Zhuge Xuan waved his hand, and the follower walked forward with the box in his hand, carefully placed it on Qi Tan's desk table, and then retreated to Zhuge Xuan. Qi Tan was cautious and suspicious by nature, so he did not open the box immediately and said, "What is this?"

Zhuge Xuan smiled and said, "After the master of Qi opened it, he will know."

Qi Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhuge Xuan several times, and confirmed that Zhuge Xuan had no bad intentions, so he reached out to open it.

"ah"

A scream came from Qi Tan's mouth.

In an instant, Qi Tan's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with horror and pain. This scene fell in Tian Pu's eyes. Tian Pu quickly stood up and looked at it. When he saw it, Tian Pu also exclaimed in surprise, and even took two steps back, almost not stable.

"This, this, this, Wang Yan, Wang Yan is so brave."

Tian Pu was so scared that he stuttered and was extremely shocked.

In the box, there are five bloody heads.

The first head from the left is Xu Zang; the second one is Jize, and then the heads of Qi Lang, Sun He, Xu Tu, Xu Zang and the guards of the four cities in the city gate are all displayed in the box.

Such a result was like a thunderous explosion in Tian Pu's heart, which made his mind buzz and blank.

"Impossible, how could this be possible?"

Tian Pu's eyes were lost and he murmured to himself.

Zhuge Xuan snorted coldly and said, "My lord dispatched 500 soldiers and 100 cavalry, and completely defeated the 5,000 Linzi County troops led by Xu Zang. In this battle, the 100 cavalry under my lord injured ten soldiers, and none of them died; the 500 infantry that went to fight died. As for the 5,000 people in Linzi County, nearly a thousand people were killed and countless people were captured. A group of mobs."

When the data was put out, Qi Tan and Tian Pu couldn't help swallowing.

This gap is too big

Zhuge Xuan raised his lips slightly and continued, "After capturing Xu Zang, Xu Zang was sure that his lord did not dare to kill him. As a result, the lord killed Xu Zang. The lord said that the Xu family was the first family to be confiscated, and Xu Zang was also the first to be killed, but the Xu family was not the last to be confiscated, and Xu Zang was not the last to be killed."

After all, Qi Tan recovered quickly after experiencing storms. He closed the box and said, "What are Wang Yan's plans to do?"

Zhuge Xuan said loudly: "The lord sent an order. Three days later, the Qingzhou family will go to the military camp to pay homage. The lord gives you three days to prepare for you to be sincere. If the lord is not satisfied, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. The lord also said that three days are not long or short, and it is also a good opportunity to brew conspiracy. The lord welcomes you to rebel again, and he does not mind slaughtering the various families."

Tian Pu said angrily: "Wang Yan is so arrogant, he actually wants us to pay homage."

Zhuge Xuan waved his sleeves and said, "I am just giving a notice, only responsible for telling you, not discussing anything with you. Three days later, it is your business or not, not my problem."

"Farewell"

Zhuge Xuan bowed his hand and turned around and left.

Tian Pu was furious, but when he looked at Zhuge Xuan's back as he strode away, he swallowed the words back at the end.

After Zhuge Xuan left, Tian Pu said: "Old Qi, Wang Yan bullies people too much, we can't forget it."

"Report"

Suddenly, another servant came in and reported: "Qi reported to the head of the family, Wang Yan sent troops to search the Xu family, and all the private soldiers of the Xu family and the bloodlines of the Xu family who resisted were killed. All the other servants were dismissed."

brush

Qi Tan and Tian Pu trembled even more when they heard this.

The destruction of a century-old family is so easy.

This result shocked Qi Tan and Tian Pu.

Qi Tan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tian Pu, Wang Yan is young, but his hands are already covered with blood. This man is brave and resourceful, and even more ruthless. The Qingzhou family can only bow their heads, otherwise they will definitely be hit by the head and blood, and even suffer heavy casualties."

Tian Pu said: "Old Qi, by bowing his head, the reputation of the aristocratic family has been completely ruined."

Qi Tan said in a deep voice: "Do you want to see the major families follow the footsteps of the Xu family? He bowed his head and only said that the aristocratic family has temporarily lies in dormant, not really admitting defeat. Wang Yan is strong and makes him arrogant. The counties in Qingzhou are in chaos, and he will always run into a wall. Once he encounters difficulties, it is our chance to kill him in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, Tian Pu's eyes lit up and he said, "I remember the teachings of Mr. Qi in my heart."

Qi Tan waved his hand and said, "Go down and prepare. In three days, bring enough sincerity to pay homage to Wang Yan."
