Skynet In Another World

Chapter 086 Xiao Clan Ancestral House

Northern Domain, at this time it is cold winter. The cold weather is obviously the best battle card, and the Northern Domain, which has been fighting for years, finally ushered in a rare period of cultivation.

However, this calm is only temporary

Lu State has hoarded 170,000 troops at its southern border pass to face off with the 200,000 troops of Zhongshan State.

The two countries face each other across the border, and the border is full of strong medicinal smells.

Lu State was warlike. The predecessor of Lu State only had three counties, which was also the original Fiefdom of Lu State. However, it took a full ten years for Lu State to annihilate the Dai Kingdom and Lone Bamboo Kingdom that were originally adjacent to Lu State, annexing their land, and now Lu State has seven counties. After solving the surrounding enemies, Lu State later aimed at Zhongshan State, which borders Lu State to the south.

Northern Domain has long winters and short summers, and overall crop yields are not high. However, Zhongshan State's geographical position is southerly, so the suitable cultivation time in China is longer than that of Lu State.

The Lu State candidate of wild ambition covets the territory of Zhongshan State and wants to annex it.

However, Zhongshan State has nine counties, and the overall national strength is stronger than Lu State. If it weren’t for Zhongshan’s high age, each of the major Aristocratic families in Zhongshan’s aristocratic family had different heirs, and they were arguing with each other and internally eroding the national power. Lu State would really not have the opportunity to covet Zhongshan State.

Now the two countries are facing each other because they are not suitable for fighting in the winter, and both sides seem to be extremely restrained from each other. But it can be met, the war will surely break out soon.

In order to conquer Zhongshan State, Lu State has launched a general war mobilization in the country. Almost all young adults in Lu State have been recruited. The continuously food was sent to the base of the southern army in Lu State. Correspondingly, Zhongshan State is similar.

Xiao County, located in the southern part of Lu State, is the base camp of Xiao Clan Aristocratic Family. Xiao Jun was originally the land of the dynasty, because Xiao Clan played a vital role in the war that led to the destruction of Lu State. In order to commend Xiao Clan for his achievements, Lu State appoints Xiao Family patriarch as Xiao Family County Guard. Governs Xiao County.

The position of Xiao Family in Xiao County is deeply entrenched. Since ancient times, there has been an Aristocratic Family, the Emperor of Flowing Water said.

Xiao County, run by Xiao Family, is no different from an independent vassal state except that there is no armored army.

Xiao Family’s ancestral house, built with a magnificent atmosphere, covering an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square meters, the built-in rockery stands in great numbers, the curved corridors and pavilions, and the Xuanyuan’s music show an ancient Aristocratic Family. Foundation.

This is the political center of the entire Xiao Clan Aristocratic Family.

Today, Xiao Clan ushered in an uninvited guest, and it was this uninvited guest who brought shocking news to Xiao Clan

Xiao Clan’s contemporary patriarch, family Several powerful figures in the house, as well as several elders who have been behind the scenes for many years, gathered at this time because of one incident.

The atmosphere in Xiao Clan's Chamber was slightly depressed, and everyone's faces were a bit ugly.

"Can you confirm whether that person’s words are true?"

A Xiao Clan elder who has been completely rickety, knocked on the crutch in his hand and asked hoarsely. Tao.

"Can’t be wrong, that letter is indeed Hong Ze’s handwriting. Hong Ze is afraid that he really betrayed our Xiao Clan!"

Xiao Wenyi, the second member of the Xiao Clan clan The real power figure, the blackmail letter sent to Xiao Clan was the first he came into contact with.

Reconfirmed by Xiao Wenyi, everyone at Xiao Clan couldn't help falling into a short silence again.

"The person sending the letter mentioned Peng Xu. Everyone knows who Peng Xu is. The Fourth Elder of Red Mountain Sword Sect. This matter is actually involved in Red Mountain Sword Sect. This is a little troublesome! "

When it comes to Red Mountain Sword Sect, Xiao Clan's faces are all awe-inspiring. Obviously for this once notorious Sect, even Xiao Clan is very afraid.

"Peng Xu asked for five thousand stone ransom food, what do you think?"

Xiao Clan patriarch sits in the first place, with no joy or sadness on his face, using a kind of almost bystander In his tone, he said gently the conditions of the sender's ransom food! .

The messenger of Xiao Clan patriarch's mouth is naturally Master Lu Ba who was sent to Xiao Clan by Hong Ji that day. Because of the threat of brain bombs, Master Lu Ba didn't dare to escape and could only respond to the scalp. Come to Xiao Clan.

But Master Lu Ba also knows that if he is stupid and only comes to deliver the blackmail letter, he will be chopped into meat directly by Xiao Clan.

In order to survive, Master Lu Ba made a living. He still remembers that Hong Ji captured two Inner Disciples of Red Mountain Sword Sect, Peng Xu and Huo Yunqing. Among them, the identity of Peng Xu seems to be not simple in Red Mountain Sword Sect.

Then why did he pull on the banner of Red Mountain Sword Sect? He simply lied that Peng Xu and Hong Ze kidnapped Xiao Ruyi and asked for ransom.

For this reason, Master Lu Ba thought about it for a long time and compiled a whole set of rhetoric: Xiao Rulie angered Peng Xu, Peng Xu punished Xiao Rulie and took the mountain fort under his anger, unknown Because of Xiao Ruyi, and Hong Ze led three hundred elite soldiers back to the mountain fort, the two sides clashed again, but they never thought that Hong Ze would betray on the battlefield. After Xiao Ruyi was captured, he still clamored and angered Peng Xu. This scene was the result of ransom.

In this set of rhetoric edited by Master Lu Ba, true and false, he changed what Hong Ji did originally to Peng Xu.

Although Hong Ji is the Title Realm powerhouse, his reputation is not obvious. Master Lu Ba knows that even if he plays the identity of the Hong Ji Title Realm warrior, Xiao Clan will probably only think of himself as a bluff. On the contrary, it is better to play the banner of Red Mountain Sword Sect, and also Xiao Clan refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases.

Sure enough, after Master Lu Ba came to Xiao Clan with this set of rhetoric, he took out a blackmail letter. Although Xiao Clan was very angry, he considered that Red Mountain Sword Sect was involved at this time. Killed him in a rage.

It just restricted his freedom, and then Xiao Clan's senior management called an urgent meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Five thousand stones is not a lot of food. Xiao Ruyi's identity is also clear to everyone. People must be saved, but..."

"The situation in the mountain fort Everyone is also clear. If the news of the private weapons is leaked, I, Xiao Clan, may be annihilated. Now the Lu State army is squatting in Xiao County. At this time, I must be very careful in every step that Xiao Clan takes. "

Xiao County is located in the southernmost part of Lu State, just bordering Zhongshan State. After Lu State decided to use troops against Zhongshan State, the army moved to Xiao County.

For Xiao Clan, although Lu State Hou appointed Xiao Clan patriarch as the governor of Xiao County because of his family merits. But it is also because Xiao Clan once betrayed the country's lord, which led to the country's extinction, so Lu State has always been guarded against Xiao Clan.

Xiao Clan also knows that if Lu State can find conclusive evidence of Xiao Clan's breach, Lu State will definitely not let Xiao Clan go.

"The only person who knows the relationship between the mountain fort and our Xiao Clan is now Chu Huang. Chu Huang must die!"

There has been no clear opinion. After listening to Xiao Wenyi's analysis, Xiao Clan patriarch said something slowly.
