C92 Meeting

"Everyone, all of you are here on behalf of your families. I will not waste any more time. I believe that everyone should know of the situation?" Murong Badao, who was sitting upright on the main seat, felt a little domineering at this moment.

"I already knew that before I came!" As for how exactly we are going to operate them, I hope that Patriarch Murong can give us an indication of how these few great families are going to cooperate with us. " The one on Murong Badao's left side immediately spoke up, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Alright, thank you everyone, this matter involves my Murong Family and my people, no matter what, we must get back at them, and this enmity must be avenged with blood!" Murong Badao said the last sentence without getting angry. A wave of killing intent filled the entire room.

"Chief Murong, do you know who did it?" This time, it was the person on the right who spoke.

"I don't know. I don't have any other clues. Other than some assassins who took money to help them get rid of the trouble, there was only one other person who ran away. He was dressed entirely in black and his face was hidden!" Murong Badao explained.

"This ?" We don't even know who the other party is, how can we exact our vengeance? But what other clues? " The person on the right side, who was the leader of the group, spoke out.

"Calm down, everyone. I still have a clue. I've already sent people to investigate." Back then, when the people of Murong Family were chasing after the black-clothed man, that person had mysteriously disappeared from the boundary between the two prefectures. Otherwise, I would have found a col and found about a thousand men and horses stationed there. Judging from the hoof prints, it should be a piece of equipment, or perhaps the elite cavalry of the Empire. It is impossible for ordinary city guards to have such elite cavalry equipment. " Duanmu gave an account of the progress he had made over the past few days.

"You mean the Emperor sent someone to take action?" The person on the left asked once again.

"Impossible!" A sharp voice was heard as the door was pushed open from the outside. It had been almost a year since the last time he had seen his father-in-law.

"Eunuch Wei, didn't you go with my father?" Murong Badao said bluntly as he tried to push the old bastard away.

"That old fogey is unreasonable. He can't even beat me with chess, and he actually wants to regret his actions. After that, the two of us fought. I couldn't hold back my anger, so I came to find you to argue!" Eunuch Wei loudly scolded the Mu Rong family's old ancestor.

"Err, he is a penitent, it's not like you don't know him." He was clear that his father was someone who could not be explained with a single sentence.

"Enough, I still don't know him?" I just didn't expect his cultivation to increase again! " Hearing this, everyone then realised that Eunuch Wei's eyes were really a little cloudy.

"Cough cough". The one who made that noise was someone from the Nan Gong Family, he knew that although the Murong Family's martial power was the strongest, he could not hold back. If he did not take this chance to change the topic, who knows where he would go.

"Let's get back to the topic just now!" Nangong Huayi lightly coughed twice before continuing.

This was a simple introduction. This person was the younger brother of the Nangong Clan's current patriarch, and he was deeply trusted by his older brother. The Nangong Family mainly focused on the auction house business, they were also involved in other industries. Of course, there was nothing in their auction house that they did not dare to sell, and nothing that could not be sold.

The Murong Family had inherited its skills in smithing, so most of the Mu Rong family focused on smithing weapons and armors. Relying on the sharpness of their weapons and the firmness of their armor, the weapons and armors of Murong Family were being bought by the majority of the warriors. Murong Family also accepted the customization, especially for those people with extremely strong martial skills, the price of making a move was not small. It had to be known that the battle strength of a good weapon in battle was not as simple as one plus one, at the same time, a good armor was also the guarantee of a second life.

Of course, when you go out to perform tasks with a mercenary, such healing items are also essential. There was also something else worth explaining, other than the basic healing medicine, Situ Family had also experienced some hallucinogenic drugs, which were specially sold to illusionist, since the hallucinations they used were different, and quite a few of the illusionist s relied on the medicine media to perform hallucinations. The only thing that could be considered to be an illusion was that there were many different types of drugs in the illusionist.

At the same time, their greatest source of income was also the illusionist. Like the people who relied on drugs to cast illusions, there was a portion of the illusionist that relied on ornaments and ornaments to cast illusions, of course, these ornaments and ornaments were not ordinary items, but they had a certain amount of energy, to a certain extent, they could assist the caster, and could store a certain amount of energy. Amongst these ornaments, the help they had given themselves in battle was still rather great.

Shangguan Family's main business was the catering and entertainment industry. Of course, their family mainly focused on making musical instruments, which made them an authentic musical family. They made some special musical instruments that could be used as a special medium to release illusions through playing. There were also females in the illusionist, but most females liked to use musical instruments as a medium for their illusions.

Of course, the reason why they were called the Five Great Families was not because these families were the ones with the most influence in their own industry. More importantly, these clans' influence was spread throughout the entire continent, whether it was in the imperial court, the army, or even intelligence networks, they could be said to be omnipresent and omnipotent. After all, these clans were all large clans that had existed for more than a thousand years. There was no need to doubt their deep roots. There was no other clan or power that could replace them.

"Yes, old bastard, you said it's impossible, but why is it impossible? Besides the cavalry under the imperial government, only the troops guarding the border would possess such equipment. Right now, most of the generals guarding the border are directly or indirectly related to the big families. Murong Badao thought about how his daughter and son-in-law were still lying in bed and had not woken up yet. He couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so no matter what this old bastard said, he wouldn't believe him.

"Nephew Murong, don't be so anxious. This old man knows the unit you're talking about, and I also know where that unit belongs. Do you think the eagle eye that this old man controls is useless?" Eunuch Wei laughed as he found a chair to sit on, and said to the leaders of the few great clans.

"So you found the person behind this?" The one who spoke was an elder of the Situ Family, who was also one of the Great Clan Elder's trusted aides. The patriarch was heavily injured, his wife was poisoned, and the Great Clan Elder was furious.

Hehe, I know that after your Great Elder heard about this matter, he was definitely blowing his beard and glaring at us, but I still recommend that we take care of this matter slowly. After the investigation by our eagle eye, the troop you mentioned was a light cavalry unit that belonged to one of the imperial guards and is currently stationed at Cloud Mist Mountain, while this thousand-man troop was completely wiped out in the process of exterminating bandits a few days ago. Eunuch Wei took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"They're all dead? When did this happen? " Murong Badao asked, he had also just a few days ago learned that there was such a group of light cavalry, the people of Murong Family were still trying to find the source of the clue, but he did not expect that after these people died, it also meant that the clue was broken.

If it was so easy to uncover the mastermind, then when Situ Qingtian's parents met with an accident, it would have been enough to make those masterminds perish beyond redemption. But he had gained nothing last time, so could it be that he didn't even know where to start from this time?

These were not the reasons that Murong Badao had been shocked, but rather, he was shocked by the content of Eunuch Wei's words. The eagle eye was part of the emperor's intelligence network. Different from the Surveillance Council, which was part of the empire, the eagle eye only listened to the emperor's orders.

In his opinion, the intelligence system of the Murong Family was huge enough, but at the same time, the Murong Family had only found clues about the existence of cavalrymen. He did not even know where the troops came from, or even their whereabouts, but the eagle eye had already found out about the whereabouts of the troops. This was something that the intelligence agencies of the Murong Family could never compare to.

Murong Badao was not the only one who was shocked, the leaders of the other clans were also emotionally moved. The imperial family was not given to him for nothing, it was very, very powerful.

"Then Eunuch Wei means that we should give up here and not investigate anymore?" The one who spoke was Nangong Huanyu.

Heh heh, second master Nan Gong is mistaken. I did not mean it that way, I still have to investigate, please do not let the entire city know, at the same time the imperial government will also send out eagle eye s and Imperial Overwatch Council s to assist, everybody, look at this, okay? Eunuch Wei was truly worthy of being called an old fox, if he were to say it out loud, the representatives of the various families would not believe him, and it might even play a opposite role. However, Eunuch Wei had first made clear the situation and then demonstrated his strength, at this time, when he made the tactful suggestion, everyone would have nothing to say.

Of course he didn't say anything. He didn't even think about how he wouldn't be worthy of being mentioned in the intelligence report. What was there to investigate!?

After the intense exchange of looks between the representatives of the different families, they finally reached an agreement and let Murong Badao state it: "Eunuch Wei, we understand what you mean. The Empire needs stability, but we need revenge. It's not that we don't believe in the strength of the empire's intelligence network, but that this matter has seriously threatened the bottom line of the several great clans. It's not something we can tolerate. "

Murong Badao paused, at the same time, observed Eunuch Wei's expression, but seeing that he did not have any expression, he could only continue, and of course silently cursed 'old fox'.

"However, maintaining the peace of the empire is also a duty that we, the five families, have to shoulder. We will not easily break it, and we will not allow any bloodshed to break in, or cause any disturbance to the empire. However, we hope that the empire will do our best to investigate this matter, so, how does Eunuch Wei feel about this?" After Murong Badao finished speaking, he looked at Eunuch Wei together with the representatives from the other great families.

After pondering for a long time, Eunuch Wei finally asked: "Murong Fenghuang's poison is already completely cured right?"

These senseless words immediately caused everyone to be puzzled. They were talking about finding the mastermind behind the scenes. Why did this old man suddenly change the topic? Did the world change too quickly, or was it because his brain was working too slowly?

"It's not a big deal. It's not like the imperial doctors you brought had never diagnosed the presence of a phoenix before! Isn't it certain that everything is fine now? " Murong Badao replied snappily.

"Hmm, since Murong Fenghuang's poison has already been cured, Nephew Murong is still as angry as before, and is anxious to find the mastermind behind this. I'm afraid that you have something else to say, right?" Eunuch Wei felt like he was talking about something. It was like he was twisting and turning his fingers to calculate.

"You old bastard, could it be that your eagle eye can run away from this daddy's ass and into his stomach?" Murong Badao felt that it was unbelievable. Other than his wife, his son and the Duanmu father and son who knew about the poison, the rest of them knew nothing.

"I'm willing to listen to the details!" Eunuch Wei sipped on his tea as if he was waiting to hear a story.

Of course, these words also made the members of the several great families turn to look at Murong Badao.
