Chapter 059: The Liu Family Reshuffles
The elders of the Liu family and their group fled in panic, fearing that the holy dragon who killed people would follow him without blinking. They didn't even dare to take a break along the way, and rushed back to the Liu family's palace. At this time, the four people who escaped were extremely embarrassed. Their clothes were already ragged, and their faces were covered with mud. If they hadn't had the elder's waist card as a certificate, the soldiers guarding the gate would have regarded them as beggars and rushed out of the city. They hurried back to the palace without having time to wash up, and they broke into the place where Liu Baiye's office was. In fact, Liu Baiye has basically been empty now and has no real power at all. This office is just pretending to calm the soldiers in the palace and prevent everyone from being in danger.
Several elders suddenly broke in and were shocked by Liu Baiye, who was worried about how to regain power. Not to mention that these people were dressed in rags, even the dust on their faces had completely covered the appearance of the elders. Liu Baiye almost treated them directly as assassins. But even if they were assassins, their clothes were too cold. It was not until several elders spoke that Liu Baiye recognized that these people were elders. He calmed down and invited four people to sit down.
...The elders actually had no choice. The elders had suppressed Liu Baiye too fiercely before. The people in their Elder Pavilion gradually formed an arrogant mentality and did not have much respect for the patriarch. But now Liu Donglai is dead, and their backer has fallen again. The Liu family is also facing a great threat this time. At this time, they still have to come out alone to take charge of the overall situation. Now the only person who can unite the Liu family again is undoubtedly the only one left.
"Several elders, what's going on? How could he be so embarrassed?" Liu Baiye was also shocked. He had known that Liu Donglai took people out this time to attack the Duan family. According to his estimate, no one in the Duan family should be able to be Liu Donglai, a master who has already been promoted to the Martial King stage, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the situation is not optimistic...
"Oh, it's hard to describe it. The elder probably made a mistake this time. The Duan family had somehow old friends with the boy from the Lin family. It should be the guy who suddenly appeared when we attacked the Lin family last time. The attack on the Duan family was also blocked." An elder didn't care about his image, he clenched his nostrils, escaped a large ball of black stuff from it and wiped it on his clothes and said quietly, making Liu Baiye feel disgusted.
"What? Is the old-faced elder no match for him?" Liu Baiye didn't care about being disgusted after hearing the elder's words, and asked in shock...
"This is not the case. The biggest kid who emerged from the Lin family was that he could only make a few moves. Although he took the opportunity to hurt the elder, he was no match for the elder, but he was just..." The elder in black was talking, and suddenly felt that his nostrils were itchy. The finger he had just put down immediately returned to his nostrils.
"Just what?" Ren Liudonglai had a good temper and was a little speechless at this time. You are always an elder, so why are you so useless?
"But somehow the boy of the Lin family had a holy dragon. He defeated the elder with one move. We all took advantage of the chaos to escape. The elder, the elder, this matter is probably gone!" Another elder responded quickly, jokingly, now that the elder, the great backer, has fallen, and still has to rely on this patriarch. If he offended him, I am afraid that the future life will be sad...
"What happened?" Liu Baiye looked shocked on his face, and then he looked sad, as if he had lost his parents. However, there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows. In his heart, the matter was even more joyful. Liandao died well. Before, he had been undermined by Liu Donglai. Now, it's better. Once Liu Donglai died, the rest of the people had no more concerns. But the surface skills were enough, and the four elders also had a sad face, but their hearts were very clear. Liu Baiye was probably already smiling at this time, and he would feel sad for Liu Donglai.
"Clan Chief, this attack on the Duan family is probably annoyed the Duan Lin family. I suggest that we should prevent it in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the thunderous anger..." Another elder was still worried about the future of the Liu family and reminded him.
"Yes, yes. Although Liu Donglai went to attack Duan's family, he was killed by him, but once Liu Donglai died, this bad debt was probably counted on my Liu family. He almost forgot about this big thing. But now what power does my Liu family have to resist the anger of the Duan family?" Looking at the only four elders around him, Liu Baiye thought to himself. Even if there were only six left behind, what would be the best thing to do? Not to mention the other holy dragons in the Lin family, the Duan family alone had far surpassed us.
"Or why we send someone to discuss peace. The Duan family has been advocating Buddhist principles for generations, so they should not have much ambitions. We take the initiative to show kindness, drive them up for benefits, and take the initiative to apologize. It should be able to temporarily extinguish the thunder fire of the Duan family. In addition, we are blamed by Jiang at this time on the great elder's personal arbitrary behavior, which is not our original intention at all..." An elder whispered, afraid that it would anger Liu Baiye...
"Huh?" Liu Baiye glanced at the elder with deep meaning, and the elder felt a lot of numbness. The emperor's heart was the most unpredictable, but it was reasonable to be with the king as if he was with a tiger.
"The Sixth Elder's words are reasonable. You can try it. But this is driven to benefit. What should we use for this benefit?" Liu Baiye sat back on his seat and said slightly.
"Driving it for profit, ordinary interests will naturally be difficult to impress the Lin family in that period. Only by ceding land is a way. We can only cut the two big cities connected to Dali and Dali and the Lin family from them..." Seeing that Liu Baiye seemed to be very interested in his suggestions, the old man called the Sixth Elder continued...
"The only medium-sized city of Wuling is connected to Dali, which is irrelevant. But the one connected to the Lin family's Beizheng is Huiyang City. Huiyang City is a wealthy city. If the Lin family gets this city, it will be difficult to suppress it..." An elder stood up and said decisively. Although these elders were pedantic, they had one commonality, that is, everything was based on family interests. After hearing the Sixth Elder's suggestion to cut off these two cities, they immediately took the opposite view.
"What other good strategies do the fourth elder have?" The sixth elder retorted.
"I don't have any other good ideas for this, but..." After being asked by the Sixth Elder, the elder immediately turned off...
"Okay, let's do it this way. My Chu State is vast and losing these two cities is harmless. Let's leave this matter to the Sixth Elders. Be sure to spread the news to the Duan Lin families before the Duan Lin families are ready to attack." Liu Baiye thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons and said, as soon as the golden mouth opened, no one dared to object, and the matter was settled. The Sixth Elder took the order and left, leaving Liu Baiye with a deep thought-provoking look alone in the hall. At this time, Liu Baiye's eyes were bright, a red token appeared in his hand, and a drop of blood dripped on it.
Hesitation, chirp, dozens of figures flashed out, as if they were coming out of thin air, which was the shadow guard that Liu Baiye had never dared to use. However, there was only one missing person among the shadow guards, that was the shadow guard leader who was sent to the Lin family to inquire. It seems that he had encountered an unexpected situation long ago... He felt a little sad in his heart, and then he regained the power of the king again.
"Your Majesty, the Shadow Guard obeys the order!" dozens of people below lowered their heads and said in a cold tone, as if they were coming from the Jiuyou Hell. These Shadow Guards were extremely cruel when they were trained. First, thousands of people were trained together, and finally they were allowed to fight each other in a closed environment. Only the winner could get food to survive. Then when there were only five hundred people left, they were asked to come out to train for a year, and then exiled them to a place where wild beasts often appeared in it for a month. After a month, they were usually only left. Then, they fought with each other without any corrections, and finally only about half of the people were left. The real situation was often that half of them could not be left, because although many people were not dead, they were seriously injured at the end and died... and the number of Shadow Guards remained within a hundred people.
Before, Liu Baiye was afraid that the shadow guard was also controlled by Liu Donglai, so he never dared to call him. Now Liu Donglai is dead, so the shadow guard should naturally come to power. In the next few days, bloodshed occurred everywhere in the Chu State. The people who originally belonged to Liu Donglai, no matter who was placed in the department, were all destroyed by the whole family, and then replaced by Liu Baiye's troops. The people of Chu State were panic, and everyone was afraid of finding a murder. The elders of the Liu family stayed in the palace.
Zhong was also worried. Although they were forced by Liu Donglai most of the time, their usual arrogance was made by themselves. If they were also placed on the list of Liu Baiye, they would have fallen into the trap this time. Fortunately, Liu Baiye was worried that the Liu family was too weak now. If the remaining elders were used to attack the Liu family, the Liu family would be very sad in the future. Therefore, these elders were proud and were still in a panic all day long.
The Minister of Rites openly supported Liu Donglai when Liu Donglai controlled the court and arranged his confidants to the Ministry of Rites. Last night, the house of the Minister of Rites was invaded by more than a dozen men in black and killed when they met. The officers and soldiers of the hospital guards did not even have the ability to resist. The murderous aura that the man in black involuntarily exuded was to let them retreat. In just one hour, the family of the Minister of Rites was not spared, and no one could be seen or killed.
The general led the army in the Forbidden Palace, the guards with swords in front of the fifth-rank hall, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel... One after another, the whole family was destroyed, and the Chu State had a major reshuffle. Most of the officials who were killed were close to Liu Donglai when Liu Donglai was controlling the court. Some fence-bearers who did not make clear statements were also killed this time. There were people bleeding everywhere in the Chu State, and even the few remaining elders of the Liu family thought that Liu Baiye was secretly
