The atmosphere in the study was extremely solemn, and both heads of the Xie family and Ouyang family fell silent, but it could be seen from their eyes that both of them were extremely uneasy inside.
After a long time, Xie Ling said: "Should we try to find another way to contact the two families? Only four or five families have joined forces. Are we still afraid of Shangguan Wuji? He can be killed by just a crowd!"
"How do you know that several other families have not taken refuge with the Shangguan family and are planning to sell Lingyang and everyone else?" Ouyang Changtian frowned and said: "If we scare the snake, I'm afraid the entire Lingyang City will be in ruins!"
"Although Shangguan Wuji has retreated now, most of the power of the city guards is still in the hands of Shangguan Wuya. We are not very powerful in the army, and the number of retainers and warriors from the three families is also limited. If we cannot control the guards
, it is too difficult to eliminate Shangguan Wuji!"
Xie Ling said fiercely: "Then kill Shangguan Wuya and seize military power. Isn't Xu Jingye on our side? As long as we can control more than half of the city guards and Xu Jingye's orders, we will take out
If the evidence of Shangguan Wuji's rebellious behavior is made public, how many people will side with him?"
"Kill Shangguan Wuya?" Ouyang Changtian said with a bitter smile: "There are several masters in our family who died, but Shangguan Wuya is not only an innate strong man in the seventh heaven realm, but also has a cloud of guards coming in and out of the camp. None of our people can get close to him.
Disaster!"
"Isn't he recently obsessed with the new girl Yun from Wanhua Building? He goes there every now and then to drink and have fun." Xie Ling slapped the table and shouted, "Last time, he even beat my son. Ahem!"
He immediately realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly coughed to cover it up. That was not a glorious thing.
Qin Yun's heart moved, he thought for a while and said: "This is an opportunity. Otherwise, I will assassinate Shangguan Wuya and leave the matter of seizing military power to you!"
Of course, Qin Yun understands that to capture the thief first, capture the king. As the core figure of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Wuya's life and death is definitely related to the overall situation, so assassinating him is naturally the most ideal choice.
"you!?"
The three family heads were stunned at the same time. Xie Ling shook his head and said: "Little friend Qin Yun, you may not know how powerful Shangguan Wuya is. His swordsmanship has already reached the realm of swordsmanship, and his Qi Chong Xingyun Xuan Gong is even more powerful.
. Even if we two old guys join forces, we may not be his opponent!"
"And even if he goes to Wanhua Tower to have fun, there are dozens of guards around him, all of whom are good soldiers in the military! Even though you are a disciple of the Tiancheng Sword Sect, I'm afraid..."
He didn't say anything else, but everyone understood the meaning. I'm afraid Qin Yun was no match.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Two seniors, don't worry, since I dare to take over this matter, of course I am sure of it!"
Shui Mingdong interjected: "By the way, Qin Yun once killed Tu Wanxiong a month ago."
"Tu Wanxiong!" The two family heads immediately thought about it. Their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Qin Yun.
"Okay!" Xie Ling slapped her thigh suddenly, stood up and said, "That's it! I'll send people to keep an eye on Wanhua Tower. Once Shangguan Wuya goes to Wanhua Tower, I will come back and inform you immediately that we are preparing to seize military power.
!”
"Thank you, tiger, thank you, boss!" Ouyang Changtian said with a wry smile: "Can you stop being so impulsive? This matter is not trivial. No matter how tight the time is, we cannot act rashly. Since we are all in the same boat, we should work together and plan carefully.
Calculate."
Xie Ling stamped her feet. She sat down again unwillingly and muttered: "Then you say, I don't care!"
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile. One of the two people had a violent temper and the other had a gentle temper. However, what Ouyang Changtian said was very reasonable. When one's own side was obviously at a disadvantage, a thorough plan must be made.
Ouyang Changtian is not only the strongest among the three, but also has a calm mind. On his suggestion, the three families first established an alliance, and then made arrangements based on the strength and strength of each family.
As time went by, a counterattack plan was gradually drawn up. Although it cannot be said to be exhaustive, it was clearly written about what each company would do and how much effort it would put into it.
During this process, Qin Yun was a bystander from beginning to end. Except for the plan to assassinate Shangguan Wuya, he did not express much opinion.
After repeated deliberation, the three family heads decided that there was no oversight, and then they officially decided on it.
At the same time, the Shangguan family's mansion, which was only two blocks away from the Shui family's old residence, was brightly lit.
Groups of heavily armed guards patrolled back and forth around the compound, vigilant eyes scanning every dark corner, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
In the pavilion of the inner courtyard, the light produced by the burning of dozens of giant butter candles illuminated the huge room. In front of Lingyang City, Shangguan Wuji, the head of the Shangguan family, was sitting on a large tiger-skin chair, looking through the pages.
Paper pages in hand.
On his left and right sides, two middle-aged men and two young men in white were sitting.
A man in black uniform knelt on one knee in front of him, bowing his head respectfully and waiting in silence.
After reading the contents on the page, Shangguan Wuji rubbed his hands together, and all the paper immediately turned into ashes.
He nodded and said: "You have done a good job. I will give you a big reward when the work is completed, so go down first!"
"I am willing to die for your lord!" The man in black nodded and left the room without getting up.
Shangguan Wuji turned to the middle-aged man sitting on the left hand side and said: "Second brother, our plan is going well. The other companies are all kept in the dark now. We can kill them all in three days!"
"
He waved his palm in a killing motion!
The middle-aged man had a fierce face, with a deep scar on his thin face, a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his thin lips pursed into a cruel smile.
Everyone who knows him knows that he is Shangguan Wuya, the commander of the thirty thousand city guards in Lingyang!
Shangguan Wuya is the younger brother of Shangguan Wuji. He joined the Yan army in his early years and accumulated military exploits to reach his current status. He is cruel and lustful and has a strong reputation in Lingyang City.
"Anyone who dares to go against our Shangguan family must die, whether they are the Ouyang family or the Shui family!"
"Second uncle!" A young man sitting diagonally across from him said with a smile: "I have to ask for a favor from you. If the Shui family is left alive, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
A teasing smile appeared on Shangguan Wuya's lips, and he said: "Aoyang, are you still thinking about Shui Wan Ning? That's easy. When the time comes, I will send a letter to lure her over. Second Uncle, I will personally capture her.
, I’ve ruined my inner strength and martial arts, so why don’t I just leave it to you?”
This young man is Shangguan Aoyang, the legitimate son of Shangguan Wuji. Ever since he met Shui Wanning two years ago, he has been obsessed with her. He asked people to propose to the Shui family several times, but due to Shui Wanning's own objections, he failed.
He almost became the laughing stock of the seven families in Lingyang City.
By now, Shangguan Aoyang had given up on marrying Shui Wanning and Mingzheng. When he heard Shangguan Wuya's words, he was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, second uncle, for making me happy!"
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would take back all the anger he had suffered in the past two years!
Shangguan Aoyang did not notice the jealous look cast by another man in white sitting opposite him.
This man is Shangguan Wuya’s only son and Shangguan Aoyang’s cousin Shangguan Aochen.
But usually Shangguan Wuya treats Shangguan Aoyang better than his biological son. If there is any dispute between the two parties, Shangguan Wuya will definitely favor Shangguan Aoyang.
For example, he also coveted Shui Wanning, but he couldn't compete with Shangguan Aoyang.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied, Shangguan Aochen still buried his emotions deeply in his heart and did not dare to express them, because he had already put in countless efforts to be able to sit here. If he offended his father or uncle, he would not be able to express it in the future.
Don't try to get into the core of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Aochen turned his head, and his eyes met Shangguan Wubing who was sitting on Shangguan Wuji's right hand. The other person's half-smiling expression made him feel shuddered, and he quickly lowered his head.
Shangguan Wubing is the third younger brother of Shangguan Wuji. However, because he has been weak and sick since childhood, he usually lives in the mansion and rarely goes out. Many people don't even know he exists.
Shangguan Wuji was a little displeased: "You two uncles and nephews are really a gang. As long as you have power, what woman doesn't have it? Wuya is not what I'm talking about. You'd better put your mind aside and stop looking for that thing in Wanhua Tower."
Yun Niang, I won’t forgive you if you miss something important!”
Shangguan Wuya smiled and said: "Brother, now that the entire Lingyang City is almost under our control, who else can miss our important event? I just went to Wanhua Tower to drink a few glasses of wine and nothing else. If I suddenly don't
Going there would actually arouse suspicion, because I don’t have the final say in the city guard."
"If they find out the clues, it might cause trouble. I have a sense of discretion!"
Shangguan Wuji shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, women are just tools for venting and having children. As long as they have power, they can take them away. Any pursuit of romantic feelings is simply a waste of life.
But everyone has his own ambitions. This younger brother is good at everything, but this is his weakness.
"Keep an eye on those deputy commanders, and kill them if necessary!" Shangguan Wuji said coldly: "As soon as the order from Dachu comes, we will take action immediately!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Shangguan Wuya's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry, they can't change the world!"
Shangguan Wuji nodded: "Okay, we will talk about this today. You should prepare well when you go back!"
"Here!" The four of them stood up at the same time and responded in unison.
Shangguan Wuji stood up confidently and said: "As long as we brothers are of the same mind and father and son are united, then the Shangguan family will definitely flourish in our hands. At that time, I, Shangguan Wuji, will never treat my brothers badly!"
Shangguan Wuya laughed loudly, Shangguan Wubing smiled lightly, and the two younger brothers were all smiles.
The sky outside is getting darker and darker, dark clouds cover the moon, and strong winds blow!
