"What we are talking about now is just a guarantee. Everything is still unknown. Whether we can leave or not will not be known until tonight."
Cheng Ling secretly looked up at Cheng Kui's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He held the black ring in his hand and rubbed it gently. This ring is not only an ancestral treasure of the Cheng family, but also a symbol of the status of the head of the family.
symbol.
Old man, tonight, I will get back what belongs to me. I will never give up my position as the head of the Cheng family to Cheng Yi.
...
Somewhere in Tianhai City, in a remote and quiet courtyard, Han Yi sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, forming seals and practicing.
Outside the courtyard, people in green robes were walking around, looking alert. At a certain moment, the door of the courtyard slowly opened a gap, and a man in green robes squeezed in and went straight to the room where Han Yi was.
"Master, there is news." He knelt on one knee outside the room.
Han Yi put away his practice seal skills and let out a breath.
"Come in and talk."
When the man in green robe heard what he said, he immediately got up, walked into the room and faced Han Yi, and knelt down on one knee again. Xiao You, who was sleeping on the bedside, opened his eyes and took a look, and then continued to sleep soundly.
"Master, Xu Qingyu has sent word that we will take action tonight. The Cheng family will join them in the action."
"What is the content of this operation?" Han Yi asked.
"Kill Han Mofeng, help Han Yu ascend to the position of head of the family, and seize control of the Han family."
"Xu Qingyu is really good at calculating. Your Xu family is much stronger than the Han family. I'm curious about what you are interested in in the Han family?" Han Yi said expressionlessly.
"My subordinates don't know about this either." The man in green robe replied, "Our original mission was just to cooperate with Xu Qingyu to deal with the masters of Han's elder group."
"To deal with the Han patriarchal group, do we need to dispatch a Half-Step Spirit Sect?"
"Previously, when Xu Qingyu sent a message to Luoxia City, he said that the elder Han Yu in the Han family library has reached the half-step of Lingzong, so the third master sent the third elder to accompany Xu Lingfei."
"Han Yu, that old guy is really secretive." Han Yi smiled and said, "What about the other thing I asked you to investigate? Have you found any results?"
"Back to the young master, I followed the young master's instructions and told Xu Qingyu that I met the young master and an assassin in black in the Monster Mountain Range. I just didn't know the young master's identity, so I ignored him."
"How did she react?" Han Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"She said that the Cheng family's affairs were disappointing. The assassins sent out could not even deal with a useless person who had lost his spiritual power."
"Really?" Han Yi smiled, "It turned out to be an assassin from the Cheng family. Is there anything else besides these?"
"She also said that if she had known that the Cheng family was so incompetent, she should have let the Xu family take action."
Han Yi smiled, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He asked again.
"Do they have a detailed plan for this operation?"
"Indeed, this operation is planned carefully. Xu Qingyu, Han Zhu, and Cheng Lin, the second elder of the Cheng family, are responsible for the internal operations of the Han family, while Cheng Kui, the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Feng, the first elder, and Cheng Huo, the third elder, are responsible for leading the Cheng family.
Jia Jingli is responsible for peripheral operations."
"Does the inside and outside work together? Do you know how much power the Cheng family used this time?"
"On the surface, the only forces are the Feng Group led by Cheng Feng, the Lin Group led by Cheng Lin, and the Fire Group led by Cheng Huo. As for Cheng Shan and the Mountain Group led by him, they guard the Cheng family headquarters. However, the
The Fire Team went to Haiyan Island to seize the Han family’s minerals, but they haven’t returned to Tianhai City yet.”
"Do you know when they will return to the city?"
"It is estimated that we will be able to return to the city and join the battlefield around 11:00 tonight. The direction is towards the west city gate."
Han Yi nodded, frowned in thought, and carefully analyzed the situation in Tianhai City in his mind. Except for the city lord's palace, Tianhai City was originally composed of the Han family, the Cheng family, and the Wu family. The strongest among them was the Han family, followed by the Cheng family.
The last of the Wu family.
This time the Xu family joins forces with the Cheng family to attack the Han family. There is no doubt that the Cheng family will take the opportunity to annex the Han family. The Xu family's support force has been subdued by itself. Even if Han Zhu and Xu Qingyu join forces, they will not be the opponent of the Cheng family.
, the ending is self-evident.
It's just that the Wu family seems to know nothing about the Cheng family's actions now, and with their strength, even if they are aware of it, they can't stop it. The gain outweighs the loss by taking action rashly. However, once the Cheng family annexes the Han family, they will definitely gain a lot of resources.
After a period of development and increased strength, the Wu family may inevitably follow in the footsteps of the Han family. This is definitely something the Wu family does not want to see.
After thinking about it, Han Yi had a plan in mind.
"Jiufang, I need your help with something." He said in his heart.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Jiufang said without replying.
"I'm going to the Han family to settle some grievances."
"Now?"
"Yes, now. But I don't want this matter to be discovered by other people in the Han family, so I want to ask for your help."
"Okay, I understand. When the time comes, I will use the power of the magic mirror to seal the space. No one in Tianhai City will know what you did in the Han family."
"Well, that's it, thank you very much." Han Yi replied, reaching out and patting Xiaoyou on the head.
"I'm going out now. Do you want to go with me?"
Xiaoyou stood up sleepily, jumped onto Han Yi's shoulders, and then got into his arms.
Han Yi got out of bed and put on his shoes, then took off the black cloak from the hanger, put it on his body, and walked out of the room. The man in green robe followed behind him.
"Xu Hu, you take eight people with me to the Han family." Han Yi ordered calmly.
"Yes, Master."
"Five of the remaining seven people went outside the west city gate to prevent the Cheng family's fire team from returning to the city. One person went to the Cheng family's mansion to monitor the actions of Cheng Kui and others. If they dispatched without waiting for Xu Qingyu's signal, they would report immediately. The remaining
Go to the Wu family alone and use my sound of arrows as a signal to inform the Wu family of the current situation in Tianhai City. Do you understand?"
"Understood." The men in green robes said in unison.
"Okay, come out."
Half an hour later, Han Yi and others arrived outside the Han family's mansion. Night slowly fell. The sunset on the horizon changed from pink to blue-grey. Darkness enveloped them from a distance. The skyline was chaotic and no color could be seen.
After walking along the high red wall of the Han family's mansion for about a quarter of an hour, Han Yi stopped somewhere and jumped into it with all his strength. The people in green robes followed quietly.
They hid behind a bamboo forest and watched carefully. Among the attics and blue brick houses in the distance, family guards wearing dark blue uniforms patrolled back and forth, with long knives on their waists.
After choosing a direction, Han Yi stepped out and passed behind the houses very quickly. The night wind blew through the bamboo forest, covering up the subtle sound of his high movements. Behind him, nine shadows flashed out.
destroy.
It seems that the direction he is going is to the northwest of the Han family's mansion, where independent courtyards are entrenched in the darkness, like sleeping lions. Outside those courtyards, servants are coming and going, and there are long corridors.
It is intricate and connects the courtyards together.
Wooden lanterns were hung on both sides of the corridor, and silk covered all sides to block the passing evening breeze. The candlelight danced slightly in it, like an excited child. Han Yi hid behind the rockery in the garden in the distance, watching those The servants who walked back and forth but never left frowned unconsciously.
The sound of tinkling wind chimes came from outside the courtyard. The towering attics were arranged on both sides of the Han family's lobby. The long corridor surrounded the marble square in front of the lobby, like stars over the moon. The mahogany door was facing The main room where the Han family receives guests.
Those crisp wind chimes come from the bronze wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the two attics, as if the sword-like copper pieces are rubbing and colliding in the night wind.
In the main hall of the courtyard, Xu Qingyu looked at the inverted hourglass on the table. Silvery white sand poured down, looking like beautiful moonlight. Han Yusheng stood behind her, Han Zhu and an old man dressed as servants. Sitting opposite each other.
"Tell them to come in. The guard change time is coming soon. Taking advantage of the gap, we will attack Han Mofeng's Yuzhu Residence."
Han Yusheng nodded, walked out of the main hall, and waved to a servant standing at the door. The servant immediately went out, blowing the cry of a nightingale from his throat. As the cry spread, in a dark corner, slowly, Open a pair of black eyes.
The servants wandering in the corridor immediately turned around and poured into the courtyard, and the courtyard door closed quietly.
"Are we going to start taking action?" Han Yi saw this scene behind the rockery and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Jiufang, it's up to you." He whispered in his heart.
There was no sound in response to him, but after a moment, a strange wave escaped from his body and spread in all directions, forming a huge circular envelope. The garden suddenly became quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of the wind had completely disappeared.
"Let's go in." Han Yi walked out from behind the rockery and tightened the black hood on his head.
Nine men in green robes came out from various corners of the garden. They followed Han Yi and walked towards the courtyard not far away.
"Why haven't you Xu family members arrived yet?" In the courtyard, the old man wearing servant clothes frowned.
"According to the agreed time, they should be at this time..." Xu Qingyu said, as if he noticed something, he turned to look at the gate of the courtyard, and his voice slowly stopped.
Squeak, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and the men in green robes filed in. Xu Hu walked in and looked at Xu Qingyu without making any move. They stood on both sides, holding long swords with black scabbards in their hands, expressionless. .
Han Yi wore a black cloak and walked in slowly. In the courtyard, the eyes of Xu Qingyu, Han Zhu, the old man, Han Yusheng and others were all focused on Han Yi.
"Are you Ling Fei?" Xu Qingyu looked at Han Yi and asked, she frowned unconsciously, "No, I remember Ling Fei is twenty years old this year, how come he has such a figure?"
"That's because I'm not Xu Lingfei." Han Yi's face was completely covered by a black hood, and his voice was cold.
