Uncrowned Evil Emperor

In the inner hall of the Xu family, the dim lights were burning feebly, reflecting the faces of everyone in the hall, full of coldness and indignation.

"Han Baobao failed, and he didn't even find out the details of the other party. This time, he really lost his wife and lost his army." Xu Zixiong clenched his fists and beat the table next to him vigorously, and the whole room "bang bang" resounded. .

Xu Liefeng narrowed his old eyes, glanced at his grandson calmly, and shouted: "Calm down, it's not like the sky is falling, what's the matter?"

Xu Zixiong plucked up the courage rarely to retort: ​​"Grandpa, Han Baobao was dispatched by the Gold and Silver Association this time. I am not reconciled to his death like this. Although he is the killer of the Silver Palace and does not belong to the Xu family's power, he is also a A rare talent."

Xu Liefeng opened his mouth, swallowed what he wanted to say, and surprisingly didn't scold Xu Zixiong.

Seeing it, Xu Ziyang seemed to understand something, and said to Xu Zixiong, "Zixiong, go back and rest first."

Xu Zixiong nodded and left the inner hall unwillingly.

After Xu Zixiong left, Xu Ziyang asked: "Grandpa, the two seniors Supreme and Supreme did not show up, did something go wrong?"

Xu Liefeng glanced at Xu Ziyang with relief, and said: "You still know the truth, that's right, I planned that after Han Baobao missed, let Supreme take action to get rid of Feng Jueyu and force out the people behind him, but someone intervened in the middle. "

Xu Ziyang frowned: "Grandson has heard about it, but I don't know the details of this person?"

Xu Liefeng paused and said, "I'm not sure, it's probably Zhou Renguang."

Xu Ziyang murmured without any surprise: "The grandson also thinks the same way. Tonight, Shangguan's mansion can be said to have come out in full force. It seems that he is scared. If it were me, I don't want anything to happen to Feng Jueyu now."

Xu Liefeng snorted coldly and said: "He doesn't want my Xu family to benefit from it. Alas, that's all. The strength of the old man Shangguan Lingyun is only seen today. If Feng Jueyu doesn't have an accident, it will be a blessing or a disaster for my Xu family. It seems We're going to be redeployed."

Xu Ziyang agreed: "The only solution now is to use Zhou Renguang's hand to remove Shangguan Lingyun. My grandson has already made a plan, so it's better to surrender."

"Surrender?" Xu Liefeng asked in surprise, "How to surrender."

Xu Ziyang smiled tentatively and said, "Since Zhou Renguang really wanted to know what was in the other two rooms of the underground palace more than ten years ago, we might as well tell him."

When Xu Liefeng heard this, his whole body trembled: "How can this be done? It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor."

Xu Ziyang shook his head and said: "Grandpa, there are two sides to the matter. Today, the south is turbulent. This time, the Mu family's army returned to the court with victory. Many officials are facing the problem of standing. Hongtu has been friends for decades, and it can be said that he has received the help of three parties, even if Zhou Renguang wanted to touch the Shangguan family, he would have no way to do it. Now he urgently needs someone to stand by his side."

"Although my Xu family is not as good as Shangguan Lingyun, at least there are officials from various states to support him. If Zhou Renguang would stand by his side, instead of blaming grandpa, he would use him in a more important way. Besides, if you tell him about Zhan Shang He made him even more sure that Shangguan Lingyun held another treasure. In this way, it not only showed the loyalty of the Xu family, but also resolved the three-point situation, so that Zhou Renguang had no worries about dealing with Shangguan Lingyun. Not for."

"As for us, we can take the opportunity of this Tiannan Chamber of Commerce election to enter the Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop, hold great power, and suppress the business of Shangguanfu. And secretly develop our power. When Zhou Renguang really takes action against Shangguan Lingyun, we will You can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and weigh the pros and cons. No matter what, the Xu family can't lose."

Xu Ziyang is worthy of being a hero of the younger generation. His analysis of the current situation can be described as having a unique eye. After listening to his analysis, Xu Liefeng realized that it made sense after thinking about it: "It seems reasonable to say that, anyway, the war memorial has been lost. Regardless of whether the Xu family Whether it has anything to do with the "Evil Emperor", we can also push the boat along the way and pin the blame on Shangguan Lingyun. Yes, yes, this is indeed the best strategy at present. Ziyang, since you have decided, let's go and do it. "

Xu Ziyang was overjoyed, and said: "Grandpa, please rest assured, grandson will definitely go all out to make the Xu family lintel..."

……

Compared with the gloom of the Xu family in Miaoshantang, Shangguan Mansion in the city is full of joy. Shangguan Lingyun was very relieved when he learned that an unknown corpse had been thrown out in the other courtyard. The colorful decorations are as joyful as the Chinese New Year.

In the small courtyard of Shangguan Mansion, pots of scorching wine and dishes of side dishes were placed on the stone table, and the whole family drank happily on the spot. No wonder, the night was too exhausting, and many people waited on an empty stomach. Following the news from the other hospital.

Shangguan Lingyun drank three glasses of wine in a row and laughed heartily: "Haha, today is the happiest day in the past few years. I thought it would be a good idea to drive away Han Baobao, but I didn't expect that kid to arrange it carefully, so I went directly to the Gold and Silver Society." It's a good show, it's a good kill, a good kill..."

Shangguan Ruomeng said with a smile: "Once Yusha dies, Jinyinhui will not dare to make any further moves in the near future. We can make good arrangements for the future."

Shangguan Tengfeng put down his wine glass, looked at his second brother Shangguan Liuyun and said, "Father, there are thirty good horses sent by Dao Xingkong. Thirty horses, but enough for 30 of our well-equipped war cavalry."

Shangguan Liuyun continued: "That's right, the tungsten steel from Wuyun Mountain on the boundaries of Yue, Qin, and Hu has also been picked, and now we are stepping up to make black tungsten armor, and it will be completed in a short time. Ten iron cavalry can add another strength to the Shangguan family, I really hope that the Shangguan family can have the same private army strength as Tianjianshan."

Everyone is happy.

On the Taixuan Continent, all the major families are secretly cultivating their own private armies, the size of which varies from person to person, but generally it is not a big deal.

After all, private armies that are truly useful are very powerful. First of all, to cultivate talents in private armies, they must be powerful warriors, and their cultivation bases are determined according to their own needs.

Then there are the profound arts and martial arts practiced by warriors, which must also be exquisite and powerful.

Next is the configuration of the private army, such as mounts...

The steeds purchased by the Shangguan government this time are all horse-riding steeds. In fact, Dao Xingkong came here this time to send the horses, because this transaction had already been decided several years ago and was carried out secretly, so Ordinary people don't know.

As for the thirty snow-riding horses mentioned by Shangguan Lingyun, it took several years to select them from countless good horses, and their quality was almost the same as the one given to Feng Jueyu by Dao Xingkong.

Finally, the weapons and equipment of the private army are also the top priority.The land guarded by the Mu family in Yuezhou is barren and nothing can grow. Instead, black tungsten steel is bred. This kind of black tungsten steel is worth tens of thousands of gold, and it is several times more expensive than walking on snow. Thick armor material, thirty sets of black tungsten armor, the required quantity is tens of thousands of catties, which is absolutely priceless.

With these and other items such as good medicine, bows and crossbows, saddles, etc., it can be called a private army.

Don't look at Shangguan Lingyun who is in charge of the green forests of the Tiannan Zhuzhou provinces, and Qinghou Huoxin who holds the power of the underworld, but the superficial strength of all the Shangguan families can't compare with these thirty private guards.

The green forest can influence the movement of a mortal country, and even set off a national revolution, but it cannot shake the martial arts family or the super family.

But the private army is enough to have such strength.

It's just that the size of the private army owned by Shangguan's government is not enough at the moment. Once the size is expanded ten times, it will be enough to rival the capital of Tianjian Mountain.

A martial arts family can have a private army, probably three to five hundred people, ranging in strength from Qi Wu to Zhen Wu, such as Tianjian Mountain.

As for the [-] private troops mentioned by Shangguan Lingyun, all of them have reached the True Martial Realm. Before this stage, they are not qualified to be private soldiers at all.

Thirty real martial arts masters are not difficult to find, but thirty private soldiers who have practiced high-level martial arts and profound arts, and are trained according to the army and well-equipped, need a lot of money, and On the basis of the family background of ordinary families, it will take several years, even more than ten years of effort to cultivate them.

Private army and martial artist are two completely different concepts.

Mentioning this matter, Shangguan Lingyun sighed and said: "It took more than eight years for the Shangguan government to finally prepare all their equipment. Thirty horses riding on the snow and thirty sets of black tungsten armor can be used at critical moments. Zhou Renguang has an army of nearly a thousand elite soldiers, and this power has cost the Shangguan a lot of money, if it weren't for the first-grade gold-creating medicine that Xiaoyu brought out this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to last for too long."

Everyone nodded in succession. All the people here are well-known figures of the Shangguan family. The consumption of the [-] guards of the private army far exceeded their imagination, so that no one knew that the superficially wealthy Shangguan family actually It was hollowed out by these thirty private soldiers early on.

How many people are there in the Shangguan Mansion, from the master to the hundreds of servants, the annual expenses are not as good as the ten-day expenses of thirty private soldiers, what a gap.

"Ruomeng." Shangguan Lingyun quickly issued an order: "Let's arrange the order meeting."

Shangguan Ruomeng put down his wine glass lightly, and said with a smile, "It's all arranged, starting tomorrow."

Shangguan Lingyun nodded and said: "This ordering fair will definitely make us a lot of money, but don't waste the money, and increase the cost of the first-grade Jinchuang medicine by ten times, no, twenty times, and all proceeds will be kept. The remaining [-]% will be sent to Qinghou Village at the junction of the three states, where manpower will be selected to continue mining black tungsten armor made of black tungsten steel, as many sets as can be made, the more the better."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Lingyun stood up holding the wine glass, and said ambitiously: "Xiaoyu has created a good opportunity for us, we must not waste it, this old man wants to build a private army belonging to Shangguan's government."
