Chapter 625 On the eve of the storm, Wan Lai is silent
Chapter 625: On the eve of the storm, everything is silent
That night, Dongyuan City implemented a curfew at eight o'clock.
[Dongyuan] Street, which is supposed to be lively and bustling every night, has seen very few people.
Because three days ago, the Huang family of the Hou clan issued a solemn statement through the major news media in Dongyuan.
[Dongyuan] citizens are requested to stay at home within the next two days.
The reason is that [Dongyuan] City will undergo a large-scale rectification.
Of course, the wise will understand that this so-called rectification is nothing more than the Yu and Huang families about to go to war.
At that time, the city of Dongyuan may become a battlefield with rivers of blood. In order to prevent outsiders from being unnecessarily implicated, it is better to stay at home.
[Dongyuan] Everyone is also well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and they stocked up on food rations two days ago to avoid this upcoming disaster.
As the saying goes, there is a moment of calm before the storm.
The current city of Dongyuan is really eerily quiet.
The streets and alleys were dead silent, and there was a sense of solemnity in the air.
All parties and forces involved in this struggle are ready to go and await orders.
Waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow, there will be a bloody storm.
Correspondingly, on a plain somewhere on the outskirts of the city of [Dongyuan], a towering altar rose from the ground.
The altar is about a hundred meters high and seems to reach into the sky. Its scale is jaw-dropping.
The lights are brightly lit here and people are everywhere, and it can be seen that a large number of craftsmen are doing the final cleaning work.
In addition, many people wearing the Huang family emblem stood aside to give instructions.
This altar was built for three purposes.
First, the Huang family will have the little princess of the Yu family captured and beheaded here to commemorate the death of Huang Qiusheng, the young master of the Huang family.
Second, the Huang family banned the Yu family, the old royal family, and became the new royal family. They sacrificed their blood to heaven and informed the world!
Thirdly, Huang Changsheng, the head of the Huang family, will officially ascend the throne here and enjoy the worship of thousands of people!
The altar had been completed a few days ago and was reported by major media at the time.
Many people want to see how the Yu family reacts.
But what is surprising is that the Yu family, which has always been domineering, did not respond at all.
Everyone guessed that the Yu family must have known the strength gap between the enemy and us and were ready to accept their fate?
In fact, this is also expected by many people.
The Huang family has recently gathered all its forces, whether openly or covertly.
This power has far surpassed the Yu family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can crush them.
Although the Yu family is an old royal family, it has been in isolation for a long time and has lost its glory as before. It must have reached the point where its skills are exhausted.
The Three Emperors, Five Kings, and Twelve Hours lasted for hundreds of years and were difficult to change.
After all, it is really difficult for an ordinary family to join this ranks.
There is also an insurmountable gap between the three levels of emperor, king and marquis.
Whenever something changes, it means the death of a top family in the world.
Everyone secretly sighed, never expecting that they would be able to witness such turmoil with their own eyes in their lifetime.
I don’t know whether I should feel honored or sad?
In the Chen Family Courtyard, Chen Qi, after dinner, was sitting in the courtyard, listening to the latest information brought by Suzaku.
"During the day, I went to take a look at the Huang family's altar. I have to say that it is really well-built."
"Beheading pile, beheading knife, incense burner, blood tank, and sacrificial altar are all available."
Chen Qi sneered for a moment, "It seems that they are really planning to behead the little princess of the Yu family to sacrifice to heaven?"
Suzaku blinked, "Do you want me to destroy it?"
"What a shame it's ruined."
Chen Qi said leisurely, "Since the altar has been built, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources if we don't cut one or two on it?"
Zhuque instantly understood what Chen Qi meant and said with a smile, "I know, we will use it when the time comes!"
Chen Qi smiled and said nothing.
But he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
"Where are those two boys Huang Long and Tang She?"
"They have been out of the city overnight. I heard that their respective troops have arrived and are stationed in the small county outside [Dongyuan] City."
Hey~~~Hu~~~
Chen Qi exhaled like clouds and looked at the night sky.
"Why didn't the Huang family react? Did they not notice it?"
"On the way here, it seems that the Huang family paid attention to it for a while, but they thought it was a temporary deployment of the troops and didn't pay much attention to it.
Right now, they are all busy fighting against the Yu family, and they have not even noticed that our people are right under their noses."
Chen Qi sneered, "So, we can give them a big gift tomorrow?"
Zhuque smiled and responded, "They can't accept this gift."
"What about the Yu family, how are they doing now?"
"Old Prince Yu Canghai is determined to die and is ready to die with the Huang family."
Having said this, Zhuque paused, "By the way, Yu Gaodan, the second in command of the Yu family, had a quarrel with Yu Canghai during the day, and suddenly sneaked to visit the Huang family at night. I don't know what he was planning.
.”
Chen Qi shook his head, "What other plans can there be?
This kind of situation is common on the battlefield. Knowing that one's side will definitely lose, he either seeks peace or rebels."
Chen Qi took another drag on his cigarette and said quietly, "At a critical moment, when everyone betrays and abandons their relatives, it will not be easy for this old prince."
At this moment, Chen Gang, the head of the old Chen family, suddenly walked over in a hurry.
"Qi'er, you are here. It's really easy for me to find you."
Chen Qi was stunned, "What's wrong?
What happened?"
"Someone wants to see you."
After saying that, Chen Gang turned slightly and saw Afu of the Guan family of the Yu family, leading several servants, walking over quickly.
What's puzzling is that several servants are carrying a shelf, and there seems to be a person lying on it?
"Master Chen Qi."
When he saw Chen Qi, Ah Fu bowed his hand.
"Butler Afu, I'm here late at night. What's the important matter?"
Ah Fu looked a little sad, "I have been ordered by the old prince to ask a favor from the head of the Chen Qi family."
"Please say."
"The old prince knows that tomorrow's battle with the Huang family has a slim chance of winning, but he can't bear the little princess to die with him, so he wants to ask the head of the Chen Qi family to take the little princess away."
Chen Qi was stunned for a long time, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, "Huh?"
Ah Fu clapped his hands, and several servants lifted the shelf up. It turned out that the person sleeping on it was none other than the little princess Yu Qingxuan.
Ah Fu sighed, "The Yu family has been passed down for thousands of years and has continued the glory of its ancestors. Even today, it's sunset.
As the heir of the Yu family, the old prince decided to abide by this honor and die to realize his ambition!"
"But the young princess, who was in her prime, had to die because of this. The old prince couldn't bear it, so he wanted to send her away."
"The old prince said that although he has known you, Master Chen Qi, for a short time, he knows that you are upright and aboveboard, and that your future is infinitely bright. He can rest assured that he will leave the little princess to you."
"Whether you marry her as your wife or take her as your concubine, I just hope that the head of the Chen Qi family can treat her well and not let her suffer any injustice."
Ah Fu looked at Chen Qi, smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, he won't let you go even if he is a ghost."
Chen Qi: "..."
He could even imagine the look and expression of the old prince Yu Canghai when he said these words.
