Chapter 268 Have You Heard of Fang Haoran?
Cutting Xiang Sheng's body into pieces with bare hands and using it as a bargaining chip to threaten other families to turn against the Xiang family, in the eyes of the Ye family father and son, they only felt that this scarred hero was not only cruel, but also extremely cruel.
But in Lu Yu's own opinion, compared with the casualties and losses caused by the Xiang family to the Lu family, his method can only be regarded as tender and tender, and there is nothing excessive about it.
After this method, the Ye family father and son really became obedient and followed Lu Yu's instructions to seal the eight "gifts", and then carefully selected eight suitable families as potential targets for rebellion.
The Ye family father and son did not deliver these "gifts" one by one, but invited the patriarchs of the eight families to the Ye family. They told Lu Yu that the purpose of doing so was to fear that after the eight "gifts" were separated, it would be impossible to tell who the person was, which would inevitably reduce the persuasiveness...
Lu Yu smiled slightly, knowing that the Ye family father and son were unsure, so they wanted to use their influence to promote this matter. He was happy to do so, so he did not say it out loud.
Soon, the patriarchs of the eight families gathered at the Ye Mansion. These families had had grudges with the Xiang family and were quite dissatisfied with the Xiang family.
Although they felt a little strange when they were called by the Ye family in the middle of the night, considering that they were forced by the Xiang family to send troops to attack the Lu family during the day, they were full of indignation. The Ye family suddenly invited them in the middle of the night. They all thought that the Ye family wanted to stand up and oppose this matter, so they all rushed over to find out.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was present, before they could even talk for a few words, the Ye family father and son suddenly brought up Xiang Sheng's body, which had been chopped into pieces. Everyone felt as if their heads had exploded, and they immediately felt unwell.
The clan leaders of each family had never expected that the Ye family father would do such a thorough job. This was not only to oppose the Xiang family's request to send troops, but also to start a direct war with the Xiang family!
Everyone retreated and wanted to escape quickly, but at this time the door of the whole house was closed and the security was tight, so there was no chance to evacuate quietly. Everyone regretted their decision and complained bitterly. If they had known this would happen, they would never have attended the meeting late at night.
"Please be patient. Although the Xiang family is powerful, they never thought that the Lu family in Ding'an would produce a person like Lu Yu! They never thought that Lu Yu was not severely punished by the Dali Sword Sect, but was reused. Now he has become a big force in the Dali Sword Sect!"
"This time, the Xiang family misjudged the situation and started a war against the Lu family without authorization. They have completely offended this rising star of the Dali Sword Sect. The two sides are already in a situation of life and death. If we can't Seize this opportunity and take advantage of him! Do you still want to continue to silently endure their oppression in the future? "
"If we overthrow the Xiang family this time, then our families will be the great heroes who restore order! From now on, Lujiang County will be completely under our control. Not only will we no longer have to rely on the Xiang family, but the resources that have been occupied by the Xiang family and its cronies for many years will also be redistributed! Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the children of the family. These resources are enough to ensure that the family will continue for generations and have a long history!"
Ye Zhengkang said loudly to the confused and confused people in a deafening voice.
As the patriarch of the second largest family in Lujiang, he is not short of strategy and courage. After realizing that he was on Lu Yu's pirate ship and there was no possibility of retreat, he quickly changed his role completely. Now it is a life-and-death situation for both sides. Only by tricking these eight patriarchs onto the pirate ship can he maximize the guarantee that he is the one who survives.
If he loses this battle, then everything will be over; if he wins, he will not only become the governor of Lujiang County, but also gain the friendship of the Dali Sword Sect... Just from the performance of the scarred man beside him, we can know what a great figure Lu Yu, who is hiding behind the scenes, must be!
In this way, not only will his future life be smooth, but the Ye family will also gain great benefits.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhengkang's heart was also hot, and he secretly made up his mind to drag all the family on board.
Sure enough, after his speech, these clan leaders began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter, and no longer had a completely resistant mentality.
"Who would want to continue to be bullied by the Xiang family? But the situation is stronger than people!"
"It's not easy to deal with the Xiang family. There are many people who are dissatisfied with them, but there are even more people who have been won over by them by various means..."
"Excuse me, we can't fight against the Xiang family's followers with just our families. After all, the difference in strength is too great!"
"Don't forget that the Xiang family has relatives everywhere in the Dawu Dynasty, and the third prince is their absolute backer. Even if we are lucky enough to overthrow the Xiang family, how can we deal with those who support him behind the scenes?"
...
The clan leaders raised objections one after another.
Ye Zhengkang smiled slightly and said confidently: "It is indeed not an easy thing to overthrow the Xiang family. In normal times, we have absolutely no chance of success, so I said that we must take advantage of the opportunity of the Xiang family to turn against the Lu family..."
"Since it is an alliance, there will naturally be a division of labor. We, the families in Lujiang City, only need to deal with the Xiang family in the city! It just so happens that the Xiang family forced us to send troops to attack the Lu family, which just gave us an excuse to mobilize troops. We took advantage of the opportunity to launch an offensive and take down Xiang Lijian. By then, the Xiang family will be in chaos. Then we will cooperate with the Lu family to cooperate inside and outside, and we can completely destroy the entire Xiang family in one fell swoop!"
"Although the Xiang family is powerful, they will never expect us to suddenly attack at this time. We have a good plan, and the chance of success is very high!"
Ye Zhengkang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face gradually became flushed.
"As for external reinforcements, we don't need to worry about that! Whether it's the Third Prince or any other royal relatives who send people, all of them will be dealt with by this Master Wang Tieyi! He is the one who successively conquered the Blood Blade Sect and the Bu Family, and at the Ding'an City Pier, he forced the Scarlet Knight, the best swordsman in Kyoto, to retreat with one move!"
While speaking, Ye Zhengkang let Lu Yu come in front of everyone.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Some were shocked, some were surprised, some were dazed, some were suspicious... It was complicated and hard to describe, and their expressions were different, but in the final analysis, they all contained a hint of expectation.
Lu Yu understood.
No matter how much Ye Zhengkang talked, he still couldn't give everyone full confidence. Whether the plan tonight could work in the end still depended on his finishing touch.
So Lu Yu stepped forward, looked around at everyone, and was calm and composed.
"No matter how much I say, I believe you won't believe it completely, so I'll ask you a question!"
He paused and asked, "Have you heard of Fang Haoran?"
Everyone was stunned.
Fang Haoran, the god of war, once defeated the enemy army and received the title from the Emperor of Dawu, but he refused to accept it and left anyway. This is a household name in the Dawu Dynasty. How could they not have heard of such a person?
But, what does this have to do with the current situation?
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he continued: "To be honest, Fang Haoran has a very good relationship with my cousin in the Dali Sword Sect. This time, he heard about the cousin's family and was very indignant. But his status is so noble that he naturally couldn't come in person, so he gave my cousin a ninth-grade talisman..."
As he said, Lu Yu suddenly took out a talisman from his Qiankun bag. The talisman shone with colorful rays of light, and the dazzling light made everyone almost unable to open their eyes.
Moreover, a clear spiritual power fluctuation came from the talisman. The pressure brought by the overwhelming power made everyone tremble in their hearts, their breath was unstable, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
The ninth-grade talisman was so powerful!
The various clan leaders present had never seen a ninth-grade talisman, but they did not doubt the authenticity of this talisman.
Such a powerful talisman could only be possessed by a mythical figure like Fang Haoran. It seems that all this is true!
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the real backer of the Lu family was Fang Haoran, the god of war of the Dali Sword Sect!
"This talisman has the power to destroy the world! Whether it is the master of the Xiang family or the strong support of the third prince, I can defeat them in one fell swoop with this talisman, and they don't even have a chance to resist!"
Lu Yu asked with a smile: "So, are you still worried now?"
Everyone fell silent again.
But this time, the doubts in their eyes disappeared, and their eyes became hot!
They answered Lu Yu's question with practical actions...
"My Huang family is willing to accept this gift!"
"My Li family is willing to accept this gift!"
"My He family is willing to accept this gift!"
...
Lu Yu watched everyone pick up the gift box containing Xiang Sheng's body on the ground, and silently said sorry to Fang Haoran in his heart.
Ordinary disciples of the Dali Sword Sect cannot go to war with the Dawu Dynasty without authorization, so this black pot can only be carried by you, the God of War...
