Chapter 117 Du Family Situation, Shuiyun Village
Tianjing City.
The atmosphere in the Du family was particularly heavy today. The smiles and laughter on the road were missing as in the past, and even the servants walked at a much faster pace.
In the Du family's meeting room, Du Xueer sat in the main seat, with a dozen people sitting on each side, but everyone's faces were not very good.
"Tell me, how should this matter be resolved?" Du Xueer glanced at everyone and said in a calm tone.
On weekdays, they only know how to fight for power and profit. Now that their family is in danger of being wiped out, who will step forward to intervene?
"Uh--"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
As the Du family's top brass, they knew the Du family's current situation better than anyone else. What else was there to say?
When the time came, the purple gauze fabric could not be delivered.
The entire Du family was taken to the execution ground in an orderly manner.
It’s just right that we all have a companion on the road to the underworld.
unless...
"Master, why don't you marry Master Hu? He is also a handsome man and loves you deeply..."
Someone suggested quietly.
As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately recognized by most people.
Now, the only way to save the Du family from the dire situation is to marry into the Hu family. The Hu family is also in the fabric business. With their help, the Du family will surely be able to survive this disaster safely.
"Yes, Patriarch..."
Someone else immediately agreed.
"Bullshit!" A loud shout suddenly rang out, scaring everyone and making them look down. Oh, it turned out to be him, no surprise there.
This person is a guest of the Du family and has considerable strength. It is rumored that he was an inner disciple of the Zhenwu Sect when he was young. Later, he made a serious mistake and was expelled from the Zhenwu Sect, having his cultivation destroyed.
If the old patriarch had not rescued him, this person would have died in the monster's mouth long ago.
In order to repay the life-saving grace, this person has been loyal to the Du family for so many years.
This person is exactly Qi Bo mentioned by Du Xueer.
I saw his white hair fluttering, his whole body full of vigor, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and he had a murderous look as if he was ready to devour anyone.
"All of you..." Qi Bo pointed at the people in the room and said angrily, "Who among you wasn't raised by the head of the family? Now that the Du family is in danger, you are actually willing to abandon your master for fame and fortune?"
"I bother..."
Qi Bo spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the man who spoke first and cursed, "Du Bo, you ungrateful bastard, have you forgotten who gave you your last name? Who introduced you to your wife? Who gave you your martial arts resources???"
The louder Qi Bo cursed, the more everyone in the field lowered their heads.
"Qi Bo, you scolded me well, but the problems facing the Du family still need to be resolved. Without the purple silk veil, how can the Du family submit to the king's orders? Are we just going to wait for the whole family to be confiscated and executed?"
A trace of anger flashed across the other man's face. He stood up, glared at Qi Bo, and asked loudly.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's you, the traitor from the Du family..." Unexpectedly, Qi Bo glanced at the man, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his face. He then looked at Du Xue'er in the middle and spoke with a decisive blow, "Master, Du Yan secretly accepted three thousand taels of silver from the Hu family, preparing to stab the Du family at a critical moment. This traitorous bastard, I suggest, chop him up and feed him to the demons!"
Qi Bo looked at Du Yan with murderous intent.
"You... Old Dog Qi, don't... bite people randomly..." Du Yan retorted angrily when he heard it. At the same time, he was secretly anxious in his heart. Damn Hu family, didn't they say that no one found out?
Once this crime is proven.
Given Du Xueer's ruthlessness, he would probably have to be carried out of the conference room lying down today.
"Oh..." Du Xue'er's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Qi Bo and said calmly, "Qi Bo, do you have any evidence?!"
Qi Bo nodded and then clapped his hands.
After a while, two martial artists walked into the house, escorting a servant.
When everyone in the field saw the slave, they were immediately shocked and began to whisper to each other.
"Hey, Old Qian, what do you think about this?" An old man secretly pointed at Qi Bo in the field, and glanced at Du Xueer who was in the main seat.
The others nodded slightly.
The meaning is clear, their family head is directing and acting in his own drama!
But the knife was real.
As the servant explained, Du Yan's legs went weak and he sat down, sweating profusely.
Now, everyone else knew what was going on.
"Du Yan, do you have anything else to say?" Du Xueer's eyes were cold.
She hated this kind of traitor the most in her life.
Especially this person, he actually planned to sell her in exchange for his own wealth and glory?
Killing is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!
"Master, please spare me, I am innocent..." Du Yan didn't care about his shaking legs when he heard it, and quickly crawled to the ground, crying.
"Have mercy?" A trace of disdain flashed across Du Xueer's face.
Her cold eyes revealed bursts of chill as they swept over everyone in the field. Although she had no martial arts skills, her aura forced everyone to lower their heads and dare not look directly at her.
"Chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"
"hiss--"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt their hearts shrink and suddenly slowed down for a moment.
Ruthless, too ruthless.
"Home..." Du Yan wanted to say a few more words, but Qi Bo suddenly appeared in front of him. His pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body was in extreme pain.
Qi Bo actually broke his iron bones with just one palm?
Aren’t they afraid of being blamed by the Hu family?
Don't you really leave yourself a way out???
"Drag him away and chop him off!" Qi Bo looked at the martial artist beside him and said coldly.
The two martial artists dragged Du Yan out like a dead pig.
Everyone's heart trembled.
The head of the family is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
Qi Bo glanced at everyone and said in a cold tone, "The Du family is in trouble. We must rise to the challenge and devote ourselves to it until our death, in order to repay the family's kindness in nurturing us... Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads quickly.
Even if they have some ulterior motives, they would not choose to bring bad luck upon themselves at this time.
"Master, ten days from now, the Hu family will come to propose marriage. We..." another guest elder asked in a low voice.
"Fight till the last man of the Du family is dead!"
Du Xueer glanced at them coldly, her aura bursting out, and everyone nodded in agreement.
......
Locking Immortal Mountain.
Chu He and his group came to the top of a mountain and looked down. In the distance, they saw a mountain village several miles in size with a few thatched houses scattered around.
"Sir, is that Shuiyun Village?" Xiao He's beautiful eyes were full of surprise.
Just now, the villagers said that Shuiyun Village was notorious and the bandits there were extremely brutal, but what we see now is a slum?
Chu He nodded. When he first saw the stronghold in the distance, he had already scanned it with his divine sense. There weren't many people there, but each of them had a high level of cultivation.
"Well, there are three fifth-grade ones, they should be the three village chiefs." Chu He said in a flat tone.
Although his realm is only the fifth level.
But the actual combat power, fifth rank?
In front of him, it was not even a scallion, and he could cut it into a bunch with just one hand.
"Your Highness, the enemy has discovered us. Prepare for battle." Chu He turned to look at the Ninth Princess behind him. "According to the previously agreed plan, I will not take action in this battle unless a fourth-grade warrior appears!"
The Ninth Princess nodded and said confidently, "Jiangnan, don't worry, we will win this battle!"
Three fifth-grade ones?
There are exactly three of them, so let's compete to see who is faster.
Then, she looked at the two vice-captains and ordered, "Li Yue, Ye He, inform everyone to put on their weapons and set off in the shape of the Chinese character 'earth'. Leave no one behind!"
"Yes!"
Shuiyun Village.
"Chief, why did you call us here? The girls we captured yesterday haven't been separated yet..."
"Yes, village chief, the brothers are all waiting to enter the bridal chamber."
"..."
Hundreds of people were crowded into the low and dilapidated thatched hut. Everyone was talking excitedly, one after another.
After all, it’s the final step.
As a result, I was suddenly called over to attend a meeting.
"Hmm?" The middle-aged man in the first seat looked cold and glanced around.
"hiss--"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts and immediately fell silent.
"Five miles ahead, a group of people came, many of them experts, coming for us."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the crowd below immediately started to make a fuss.
"Village leader, this is outrageous! Give me half an incense stick of time and I'll kill them all..."
"Sha Laogui, you are only at the eighth level, your strength is too weak, I should be the next one..."
The first middle-aged man had a stiff expression. These bandits from Shuiyun Village were really a bunch of useless people.
The middle-aged man was not from Shuiyun Village. He received an order from the young master a few days ago to come and conquer this village and take them to steal some cloth.
The operation was very successful, with three fifth-rank officials leading the charge. If the young master had not emphasized the need to leave any survivors, no one would have discovered that it was them who did it until today.
What gave him even more headaches was that these bandits were difficult to tame and would come down the mountain from time to time to get some "game".
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked at the man with the flat head on his left, who was also the former leader of Shuiyun Village, and said, "Second brother, will you take people to get their dog heads later?"
The crew-haired man nodded.
The middle-aged man offered him a lot of benefits, which he found difficult to refuse.
After half a stick of incense.
A small hillside outside the village.
A group of ragged men with bare chests were staring into the distance, where the enemy was approaching.
