No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 561 Sudden attack!

The square was peaceful, and the atmosphere on the front stage was even more awkward.

Ke Zhe stood aside, looking at the second elder with a slightly mocking face.

The second elder's face was very ugly, because of their campaign during this period, there were many voices in the clan wanting to abolish Ke Zhe.He really didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end.

Counting the number of people does not take time, and the results will be obtained soon.

The number of people supporting Ke Zhe has a slight advantage. Although it is not an overwhelming advantage, it is not a narrow victory.

The first elder looked at the second elder with a complicated expression, and said, "Now you are satisfied? Your eldest brother's body is still alive, and Ah Zhe is your own nephew. Why do you have to go to this point?"

The second elder remained silent with a livid face, and the faces of the elders standing beside him were somewhat dissatisfied.It's just that the family meeting was proposed by themselves, and the meaning of this kind of meeting is different.Now that the result is out, if they don't recognize it, it can be regarded as betraying their ancestors.

Thinking of this, those who are unwilling can only admit it.

His face softened a little, and someone said: "Even so, there must be an explanation for the death of the old patriarch, otherwise, no matter who wants to be the patriarch, we will not recognize it."

"What now?"

"Young Patriarch Ke Zhe, it's a pleasure to meet you." A man came in from the outside, followed by a group of people holding weapons.

The Great Elder said: "I am not on your side, is it partial?"

"you!"

Several young and strong people came forward immediately, wanting to ask the elder to leave.

The Second Elder cast a cold glance at the Fourth Elder. Although he had known for a long time that this was a weed, he was still very displeased that the other party turned against him at this time.

Seeing this, many elders who originally supported the second elder also gave up their intentions.

Setu smiled and said: "I'm not the only one who meddles in the affairs of the Qiu Ci Department. Who made the second elder work so slowly? If we don't come to help, I'm afraid we will fail." Setu's words were somewhat contemptuous. After saying this, the Second Elder's eyes also flashed a trace of anger.

In a word, there was an uproar in the square instantly.

Ke Zhe looked at the man, frowned and said, "I really want to meet you, but..." I couldn't remember the identity of this man for a while, so it can be seen that he should not be a Liao Bude character before.

Is it because he is still young, does he think these people can really decide anything?These low-key ordinary clansmen don't care who is the patriarch at all, as long as he inherits the position of patriarch and gives some benefits, it will naturally win people's hearts.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help exclaiming. These people knew that they were well-trained at a glance, and they were obviously not ordinary people.

A large group of soldiers and horses surrounded the Qiuci Clan, and for a while, horns sounded and flames shot into the sky.

That is already [-]% of the population of southern Xinjiang. Is this going to recruit all the young and old men in southern Xinjiang into the army?

The second elder waved his hand and said, "Uncle, you are serious. What is rebellion? I am only doing it for Qiu Ci's future, and to avenge my elder brother. Since Ah Zhe can't do it, then I have to come in person. Please go down and rest first."

But those young and strong people who supported the second elder reacted very quickly. They quickly surrounded the high platform in front of the big house, and looked at Ke Zhe with unkind eyes.

Luo Yidao: "Princess Hui, my subordinates and General Annan were ordered by you to come to the Qiu Ci Department to quell the rebellion. You have already personally led the troops to the Second Department of Guhe Hongshan to quell the rebellion."

"No!" The Second Elder suddenly snapped.

The second elder said: "Uncle, as the chief elder of the Qiuci clan, shouldn't you be thinking about the future of the Qiuci clan? What do you mean by helping Ah Zhe so much?"

However, there are still some young and middle-aged people who listened to the second elder's bewitchment and were obsessed with it, and even killed each other at this time.

Ke Zhe said: "Since your Excellency is the patriarch of the Hongshan tribe, why do you want to meddle in the affairs of my Qiuci tribe?"

In addition, places like Southern Xinjiang have far more hidden populations than the Central Plains, so the court estimated that the total population of Southern Xinjiang should be more than 100 million.It is not difficult to recruit [-] soldiers and horses.

The second elder looked at Ke Zhe with a half-smile, his eyes seemed to say: Did you see it?I'm still a winner.

Luo Junyao asked in surprise, "Luo Yi, why are you here? Where's the elder brother?"

A dark-skinned middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "Second elder, the young patriarch already has evidence of the real culprit who killed the old patriarch. Just wait for the clan to verify it, and then he can avenge the old patriarch. At that time, he will inherit the patriarch's responsibilities. Your name is justified, and you are making trouble at this time, please forgive me for not being able to accept it."

If one is not careful, it is easy to make himself exterminate males, and then exterminate the whole family.

Ke Zhe secretly took a deep breath, 30 soldiers and horses, so easy to say.

"Azhe, you still have to disappoint your father after all." The Second Elder looked at Ke Zhe and said, "Second Uncle didn't want to make such an embarrassment."

Ke Zhe bowed to the elder who spoke, expressing his agreement with this sentence.

The Second Elder looked at the panic-stricken crowd, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere became very solemn.

Everyone on the stage changed their faces instantly, Ke Zhe said: "Someone is attacking the clan land!"

"General Annan?" General Annan guarded the border between Huaizhou and Southern Xinjiang, and was stationed in Puding City, which is the closest to Southern Xinjiang.

Setu was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to know about it.

The third elder hesitated for a moment, then looked at the second elder with a livid face beside him and said, "Second elder, why don't you...forget about it today?" It can only be said that Ke Zhe's spirit is not exhausted, and there are still so many clansmen who are willing to support him he.

"What do you mean?"

Most of the young and strong members of the clan support him, and they are the future of the Qiuci clan.

The second elder sneered and said: "What do you know? You are just like your father, you can only live in peace! We Qiuci people have lived in southern Xinjiang for generations, and southern Xinjiang is our place. Why should we listen to those Central Plains people? As long as we are of the same spirit Lianzhi, I can gather 30 troops in the southern border in no time, why should I be afraid of those Central Plains people?"

Seeing this scene, the Second Elder finally burst out laughing complacently.

Xie Yan said: "It's really impossible, so... this is a collection of several tribes in southern Xinjiang. In addition to the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang, there are hundreds of tribes, large and small. The registered population alone is at least 80."

"Isn't it?" The second elder said proudly: "Azhe is not suitable to be the patriarch at all. The position of patriarch should be occupied by those who are capable."

With the Fourth Elder's statement, other people also opened their mouths one after another, and their attitudes were much softened than before.

The Second Elder also looked at the First Elder with a bit of anger and unwillingness in his eyes. In his opinion, if the First Elder hadn't suddenly expressed his position, the outcome would still be unknown.

The Seventh Elder came up to the stage, saluted the First Elder and Ke Zhe first, and then continued to say to the Second Elder: "The elite guards of the Qiu Ci Clan will not recognize a patriarch who got to the top by conspiracy."

Suddenly someone came to his senses, pointed at the second elder and said, "It's you?! You colluded with outsiders and entered the palace clan land?!"

He laughed, "The Central Plains people have always been cunning and do not keep their promises. How can we trust the agreement with them? My Hongshan Department will never make a deal with the Central Plains people. The reason why I talked about the agreement with Luo Jin is just to temporarily stabilize the situation. It’s all right to live with him. Young patriarch, most of the tribes in southern Xinjiang are willing to join us, as long as you are willing to lead the tribe to join, we are still a family.”

Therefore, it is not easy to maintain a regular army of 1 people on a daily basis.

After the patriarch was killed, the head of the personal guard stated that they would not participate in anything unless the new patriarch succeeded or the clan land was attacked.

The second elder didn't care about Ke Zhe's words, and there was even a bit of sarcasm and pity in his eyes.

There are many mountains in the south, and most of the soldiers and horses are infantry. It takes at least ten days to lead troops from Puding City to the Qiuci tribe, even if they travel day and night.

"What are you going to do?" the first elder looked at the second elder seriously, and asked in a deep voice.

Ke Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "I heard that Your Excellency has reached an agreement with that Lord Luo from the imperial court."

The man bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "My servant, Hongshan Department, Setu."

"I've never heard of it," Ke Zhe said.

Ke Zhe raised his hand and pointed at the dark crowd below the stage, and said, "The whole clan is almost here today, Second Uncle thinks... Even if you become the patriarch, who will obey you?"

It's one thing to fight with people from other tribes, but it's another thing to kill each other in your own tribe.

The second elder glanced at Ke Zhe, turned around and said to everyone: "My Qiuci clan has never been a coward. The old patriarch died for no reason, but our young patriarch blindly favors the Central Plains people. You really want such a patriarch. ? Have you forgotten, why are you being ridiculed by other tribes these days?"

What's more, he is not without supporters.

In other words, Luo Jinyan may have sent an order to General Annan before he even arrived in southern Xinjiang, asking him to lead troops into southern Xinjiang to suppress the rebellion.

The Fourth Elder, who has been reticent today, stood on the other side and said, "Second Elder, why don't we forget about it today. Since the young patriarch... has evidence of the patriarch's murder, we want to see the evidence..."

"Color map!" The second elder growled in a low voice.

Luo Jun shook his brows and said, "At least one of the Guhe Department and the Hongshan Department is the main force." Without enough prestigious people to help, it is difficult for outsiders to move an inch in the southern border, and it is tantamount to dreaming to recruit [-] soldiers in a short period of time.

But even so, it is impossible for a tribe to have 4 people on the battlefield.

Luo Jun shook his head to look at Xie Yan, Xie Yan nodded slightly towards her.

Most importantly, none of them wanted to actually kill each other.The personal guards have made it clear that they support the young patriarch. This is the most elite force in the entire Qiuci clan.

Apparently a position has been chosen.

"You want to rebel?" the First Elder stared at the Second Elder and said in a deep voice.

This is the most elite part of the Qiuci tribe, and only the patriarch can mobilize it.The leader of the personal guard is also one of the elders in the clan, but he never participates in the affairs of the clan, and is only loyal to the clan leader.

"My lord, my concubine." Die Ying and Xi Ying walked out from the forest, followed by Luo Yi and a man who looked like a general.The four of them bowed to the two of them together.

The Second Elder gave Ke Zhe a contemptuous look, and said, "Azhe, it's not that Second Uncle wants to make things difficult for you, it's that you are so disappointing."

Setu didn't care about his rudeness, and said: "Young Patriarch, as long as you know, I will be the master of the Hongshan Department now."

The second elder stared at Ke Zhe, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you use the clan's personal guards?!"

Everyone was startled and looked at him one after another.

On the hillside not far away, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were looking at the situation down the mountain.

Xie Yan said: "Yaoyao thinks, Jinyan hasn't done anything these few days in Zhaoyun City? Don't worry."

In the Qiuci tribe, in the face of the sudden attack, everyone in the Qiuci tribe responded very quickly.The young and strong men immediately obeyed the command and went to resist the invaders, and the old, young, women and children were evacuated to a safe place.

Seeing that the situation was about to stabilize, there was a sudden noise outside, followed by loud arrows shooting into the sky.

Luo Junyao leaned on Xie Yan's shoulder and said, "There are at least [-] soldiers and horses. Neither the Hongshan tribe nor the Guhe tribe have so many soldiers and horses, do they?" Hongshan, which is known as the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang, has a vast land and few people. The total population of Furukawa and Qiuci do not exceed [-].

But now, they are here.

"Seventh Elder!" Second Elder gritted his teeth.

They were dissatisfied with the Young Patriarch only because his behavior was not the same as the heroism advocated by the Qiuci people, and they believed that he could not afford the future of Qiuci.

There are thieves outside, and internal struggles inside. The Qiuci tribe hastily resisted, how can they resist?Soon the gate was breached, and the patriarch and all the elders were forced to retreat to the ancestral hall.

Xie Yan laughed and said, "The Guhebu and Hongshanbu are the same breed."

The Second Elder said coldly: "Azhe, Second Uncle doesn't want to quarrel with you. Now that you announce your banishment from the Qiu Ci Department, everyone looks pretty."

Ke Zhe looked at the proud man in front of him expressionlessly, "Second Uncle, are you proud of ushering in a wolf?"

Only then did Luo Junyao feel relieved, it seemed that Xie Yan and his eldest brother had a tacit understanding, and she really didn't need to worry about it.

If it was a wartime, it would be natural to call on the young and strong members of the clan to join temporarily. Anyway, the people in southern Xinjiang are brave and can go into battle without too much training.

But now it seems that the young patriarch is not without means.

Ke Zhe said indifferently: "It turns out that the second uncle just wants to be the patriarch."

Ke Zhe didn't know where they got such great confidence. In his opinion, these people had their own whims and hoped to drag all the people in southern Xinjiang to die together.

Ke Zhe sneered and said, "Second Uncle, you don't think I came back here just to throw myself into the trap, do you?"

There was silence in the audience, and people looked at the scene on the stage in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Ke Zhe raised his hand and blew a few sharp whistles, and a moment later, a group of fast-moving, well-built people in Qibu costumes rushed in.

"Second uncle, you can't do such a big thing by yourself." Ke Zhe said: "Since everyone has already torn their faces, let your accomplice come out slowly."

Those young people who were originally on the side of the second elder heard this, and their blood rushed immediately, and they all echoed the second elder's words.

Setu ignored him and just looked at Ke Zhe fixedly.

Ke Zhe suddenly laughed too, "You think you lied to Luo Jinyan, how can you be sure...he didn't lie to you?"

Setu was stunned, staring at Ke Zhe and asking, "What do you mean by that?"

Ke Zhe said: "The Furuhe Department and the Hongshan Department are empty now, right?"
