C525 Decide to go into the water
The conference hall fell into silence. As long as one was not a fool, everyone would know that the manor lord was speaking of a power that could cause the Nightmare Villa to be eternally doomed. Who else could it be other than the imperial government?
But why did the imperial government want to massacre the Nightmare Villa s? It was impossible for them to think of a reason. It was like a disaster to them. Even if they just sat at home and did nothing, it was already a disaster.
"Manor lord, what made you judge from this? "Could it be that if we were to obediently take them with us in the manor, they really will face a great calamity?"
"That's right, Manor Lord. We have nothing to do with the imperial government, and we rarely interact with them. A few of the higher ranked members of the imperial government who have a good relationship with us are all filial. This ? "The imperial government does not need to annihilate us, right?"
"Manor Lord, I think..."
Inside the meeting room, many people were chattering non-stop. It seemed like the piece of information that Villa Master Mo Rufang had said was enough to make them extremely shocked and they would not be able to recover from their shock in a short while!
From their point of view, the existence of the imperial government was far from the martial arts world, and the strife between the martial arts world and the imperial government had nothing to do with it! What's more, the imperial government rarely interfered in conflicts in the martial arts world. Even if a sect was exterminated, they would only send people to collect the corpses!
However, they had never heard of the imperial government sending troops to annihilate a certain gang. Unless that gang touched upon the foundation of the empire, the imperial government's army would definitely not step in.
There were even some people who thought that the Blood Illusion Valley had done something that let the empire down, and that was why he was surrounded and killed by the Empire's army.
"All of you, shut up! A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! What do you know? The Blood Illusion Valley was about to be destroyed? One hundred and twenty thousand soldiers going to encircle and annihilate him? Ridiculous! How ridiculous! " Mo Rufang slammed the square table once again, but this time, due to the excessive force of his hands, the teacup on the table turned over, and the tea in the cup spilled all over the table, only to hear Mo Rufang's furious voice speaking to the chattering crowd.
As the Villa Master was enraged, the surrounding people were once again silenced. One by one, they lowered their heads, not daring to meet Mo Rufang's eyes.
"Confucius, what's going on!?" Could it be that it was not the imperial army that was surrounding Blood Illusion Valley? " The Great Elder slowly said.
"Great Clan Elder, if the imperial government sent out an army of 120,000, do you think the people of the Sword League will continue to form an alliance with the people of the Blood Illusion Valley? And do we get this letter? " Mo Rufang asked somewhat helplessly.
"But how can we prove the true identity of these one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers?" The Great Elder asked indifferently.
"Sigh, Great Clan Elder doesn't know, I just went to a few officials in the capital to verify the dispatch case, only one unit of the Eastern Army was temporarily transferred to the Northern Army, the other units did not have any transfer orders, from this, you can tell that the sudden appearance of this one hundred and twenty thousand strong army is very likely to be like what Yin Jingduan said, they are very likely to be the private army under the command of a certain Duke Mansion official!" Mo Rufang let out a heavy sigh, and his tone eased up as he explained.
"If it really is the private army, it would be inappropriate for us to take action! Wouldn't this mean that I've offended a powerful official of the imperial court? " The white-bearded old man next to the Grand Elder asked.
"The problem is, we can't avoid offending you! If these 120,000 people really were the private army of some powerful noble, then what were they planning to do by suddenly running out? Who gave them the power to transfer privately? And, one hundred and twenty thousand! The number had already far exceeded the number that the private army should have. Even if it was the prince's private army, it was only about twenty thousand. The more it was, the more it would frighten the emperor! But this one hundred and twenty thousand strong army could no longer be described as afraid. This is clearly rebellion! " Mo Rufang shifted his gaze onto the old man who had just spoke and explained.
"Even if it really is rebellion, this is the matter between the noble and emperor. What does it have to do with us?" The old man continued to ask.
"Second Elder, you can't possibly think so naively that Yin Jingduan and Li Jialai's joint letter is just for me to go with them and fight for the reward, right?" Although Mo Rufang was incomparably respectful to the Great Elder, he did not have a bit of basic respect for the Second Elder, and his tone of voice was even more casual.
"Could it be that there's some sort of trick to it?" The second elder did not seem to mind and asked doubtfully.
"Second Elder, then I want to ask you, what is the relationship between our Nightmare Villa and our Blood Illusion Valley?" Mo Rufang muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic and asked.
After all, that year we successfully schemed against two families, and because of that scheme, our Nightmare Villa was ranked among the top clans. But even if it's bad, it's not to the point of not giving up until one side dies! " With his experience, how could he not know about the process of Nightmare Villa's rise and development?
"Then, if Blood Illusion Valley and the rest of the 120,000 people were to suffer heavy losses, and the Nightmare Villa managed to survive because the muddy water did not leak out, what do you think we should do next?" Mo Rufang seemed to be playful as he continued to ask.
"Of course, we have to eliminate these two families ?" "Wait a minute, could it be that they are planning to trap us in order to prevent our side from becoming independent?" When the Second Elder was just about to say something, he suddenly realized what the problem was. He stared at the manor lord in shock and subconsciously opened his mouth to ask.
"That's right, if it was me, I would do the same thing! Now that we and the Blood Illusion Valley and the rest have shown our might, any increase or decrease in strength will to a certain extent break this balance! " Mo Rufang nodded and replied indifferently.
Mo Rufang was not some hero or hero, it would not be wrong to call him a formidable character. If there was a chance to weaken the Sword League's and Blood Illusion Valley's strength at the same time and make it so that they had no chance of standing up, then with Mo Rufang's character, he would probably immediately attack and annex these two families.
A person's ambition changed with the environment! Sometimes, although he had the ambition to expand, he would not have the time to do so. That was just wishful thinking.
Although there would occasionally be large-scale disputes between Blood Illusion Valley s, due to the existence of Nightmare Villa s, there were no longer any conflicts of the same scale that had caused the rise of Nightmare Villa s back then.
Just a while ago, when he suddenly heard that the Blood Illusion Valley was besieged by the Sword League, Mo Rufang was slightly moved, but the news that he painstakingly waited for was the news of the Sword League entering the Blood Illusion Valley, and both sides did not engage in any battles.
This made Mo Rufang discouraged, but the following piece of news ignited his ambition and desire once again. Fighting against the one hundred and twenty thousand strong army was tantamount to striking a stone with an egg, and in this dispute, both the Blood Illusion Valley and the elites of the Sword League would be completely killed and wounded!
When the time came, he would just need to send people to take over the territories of these two top gangs. What could the ones who could resist say about him? What could the whole world say about him?
However, he had never expected that not only did he fail this time, he had been plotted against. Furthermore, his plans had been completely disrupted. It could even be said that he had been caught unprepared.
"But what does this have to do with the government? Even if we don't attack at the same time, what can they do to me? " If no one provoked him, he would want to throw a tantrum. Seeing that the Great Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder had fallen into silence, he could not help but interject.
They do not need to do anything, they are just showing how brave they are in killing the enemy and also sending a forged letter to the imperial government to prove that we are colluding with this private army. That's why we did not go and support them. Mo Rufang smiled as he looked at the Fifth Elder who had a violent temper, as if everything was set, and replied with a smile.
"These bastards are trying to force us to jump into the fire pit!" Although the fifth elder had a bad temper, he was not someone with developed limbs or a simple brain. He heavily smashed the table beside him into pieces and said with a clear voice that contained a bit of resentment.
"But if this fire pit doesn't jump, then what awaits us is the bottomless abyss!" Mo Rufang sighed, he shook his head and agreed.
"Does the manor lord already have a good plan?" The Head Elder was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked again.
"How could that be a good plan, it's just a step at a time!" Mo Rufang shook his head and replied.
"Then, Manor Lord means to bring people to support us?" The Grand Elder quickly asked.
"Not only me, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble First Elder to accompany me!" Mo Rufang suddenly stood up, bowed to the Great Clan Elder, and replied respectfully.
"So you're saying that Yin Busan and those two old fellows are also gathered here!" The Great Elder calmly stroked his white beard as he spoke.
As he spoke, the grand elder's eyes flashed with a divine light, as if something was of particular interest to him.
But only Mo Rufang knew, although the Great Clan Elder usually ignored common matters and only focused on training, it did not mean that he was indifferent to everything else. To be able to meet his old rival for so many years made him excited, but this time, he would fight from a different perspective.
"That's right!" So, I had no choice but to ask Great Elder to come out of the village with me! "
"No worries!" I haven't seen those two old fellows for a long time! "
"Manor lord, when are you planning to leave?" After the Great Elder finished speaking, Mo Wenxuan suddenly asked.
"Tomorrow!" "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to get there."
"Delay?" Wen Xuan asked in surprise.
"It takes time to get there!" Although we said that we would go, we did not say when we would be there! "
"Haha!" The manor lord is really cunning! " Everyone understood and laughed out loud in praise.
