After hearing this, Li Tong curled his lips without leaving any trace.
Yes, Li Ba is dead, Li Duo has rebelled again, and the position of head of the family is already in his pocket!
Now, he no longer needs to be anxious. As long as he waits slowly, he will be able to sit in that position sooner or later. If he is too aggressive, it may be self-defeating.
Everyone had their own thoughts, no one said anything, and the atmosphere in the lobby became even weirder.
At this moment, the bell outside the mountain gate rang again.
Guests are arriving!
Li Yuan frowned.
What's going on?
Could it be that Ye Jiuzhou came back to kill him again?
Not only Li Yuan was shocked, but Master Gu Huai who was recovering from his injuries in the room was also shocked.
If Ye Jiuzhou really came to visit, that would be bad!
Li Yuan didn't care so much.
For him, it would be better if it was Ye Jiuzhou, who could just avenge his son.
However, when he came outside the mountain gate and saw the people outside, his mouth opened wide in an instant.
Because the person who came was not Ye Jiuzhou, but people from other seven hidden families.
He didn't recognize some people, but he could tell them apart by their clothes.
"Master Li!"
Shangguan Yuanbin, who was standing at the front of the crowd, bowed his head and said: "Junior Shangguan Yuanbin, this is a courtesy."
Li Yuan did not be polite to him. He glanced around the faces of other representatives of the aristocratic families, and then said coldly: "What are you doing here? To force the palace?"
He had never liked Shangguan Yuanbin, and with so many people gathering in front of his house, his words were naturally very unpleasant.
"Master Li is joking!"
Shangguan Yuanbin said: "Decades ago, the eight hermit families had an agreement. If the boxing manual did not appear in the world, no one would be able to leave the mountain. Now that the boxing manual has appeared, our agreement should be invalidated."
Although Li Yuan had known for a long time that they were here for the boxing book, he still couldn't help being surprised when Shangguan Yuanbin said these words.
What surprised him even more was why a mere Shangguan Yuanbin could speak on behalf of so many people?
You know, these reclusive families are all so high-minded, why are they all standing behind Shangguan Yuanbin now?
"Master Li, don't worry!"
An old man in the crowd said: "We old guys were all called out by Shangguan Yuanbin. In the final analysis, it is all for the sake of boxing skills and not forming a clique. His words can represent our meaning."
After that, he stood back and seemed not to want to chat with Li Yuan.
Likewise, he didn't look good to Shangguan Yuanbin.
As he said, the reason why they came together was entirely for the sake of boxing skills, and there was no other relationship.
If it hadn't been for the order from the head of the family, he wouldn't have followed this young boy.
Although he said this, Li Yuan no longer dared to underestimate Shangguan Yuanbin.
If nothing else, the two old men beside him were not ordinary people.
Shangguan Li entrusted these two elders to Shangguan Yuanbin, obviously he valued him very much.
"Master Li, I don't know if I have time, so it's inconvenient for us to talk."
Shangguan Yuanbin still maintained the courtesy of a younger generation.
Fang Wei said nothing.
"Let's talk after we come in."
Li Yuan made way.
Representatives of the seven major aristocratic families are here. It would be unreasonable if we don't invite people in.
Everyone entered the lobby and took their seats, but Shangguan Yuanbin, a junior, actually sat in the second highest chair, and no one else had any objections.
Obviously, they planned to follow this junior's lead.
Soon, refreshments will be ready.
Li Yuan glanced at the crowd and vaguely felt that these people had no good intentions.
"Could they know that I have a page of boxing records in my hand, so they plan to join forces to force me to hand it over?"
Thinking of this, he sneered in his heart.
Not to mention that Li Yuan is not a person who will let others bully him. Even if his boxing skills are really taken away, so what?
Seven families, how to divide the boxing score into one page?
"That's right, the boxing manual is right here with me!"
Li Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the point, "However, I won't hand it over, so please don't talk."
They had waited for many years before they finally got a page of boxing records. Even if they killed all the members of the Li family, he would not be able to hand it over.
"The head of the Li family made serious remarks,"
Shangguan Yuanbin quickly stood up and said, "To be honest, we are indeed here for the boxing book, but not for the page of the Li family!"
"Our eight aristocratic families have always been in the same spirit, how can we kill each other?"
Of course, talking about the same thing is just random talk.
However, Li Yuan still understood.
There are only a few pages in the boxing manual. Since it is not for the Li family, it is naturally for Ye Jiuzhou.
But this is easier said than done.
Ye Jiuzhou's prowess is obvious to all. Coupled with the copper and iron walls of the coastal forbidden area, who has the ability to find out the boxing records?
"What do you want?"
Li Yuan asked.
“Divided, two harms arise; combined, both benefit!”
Shangguan Yuanbin said: "We are here this time to discuss the important matter of jointly conquering Binhai!"
Crusade Binhai?
And you want to go together?
Li Yuan was taken aback. He did not expect that this group of people came here to persuade him to attack Binhai!
snort!
Is a mere coastal area really worthy of such an investment by a reclusive family?
The answer is yes.
Because history has proven time and time again that Ye Jiuzhou is not that easy to deal with.
To prove this, he even got his own son involved.
However, a horse has eight heads, which direction should it go?
The eight aristocratic families have always refused to obey anyone. How can they truly share the same hatred?
"That's right, it's just to conquer Binhai."
Shangguan Yuanbin said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need for us to hide from each other anymore. Everyone sitting here has had indirect or direct contact with Ye Jiuzhou. What was the result? Everyone suffered heavy losses, so we can only join forces.
Getting up is the only way out!"
He pointed to a few people next to him and said, "The other major families have already expressed their stance, and only the Li family is left!"
Li Yuan didn't speak, he just looked at Shangguan Yuanbin with squinted eyes.
"Master Li still doesn't believe it?"
Shangguan Yuanbin asked.
"It's hard for me to believe it!"
Li Yuandao: "Why did you go to the other six families first and then finally come to my Li family? There is no guarantee that you have already made other agreements."
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need to hide them. Li Yuan revealed what he was most worried about.
"Master Li is too worried."
Shangguan Yuanbin said: "Everyone knows that among the eight major family heads, the Li family is the strongest and knows the situation in Binhai the best. The reason why we came to the Li family in the end is because we want you to be our leader!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan was also stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
