Wudang

Chapter 194
Zhang Junbao has joined the group temporarily.

Dugu Jiani and Changsun Xuan were not in a hurry to act.

According to them, they are not in a hurry for those who have Mingjiao anyway.

This made Zhang Junbao a little anxious, there are quite a few people and forces secretly watching this time, from what Dugu Jiani said, the Buddhism in the Western Regions might also send people, that is, people from the Buddhist sect headed by Ba Shi.

Countless people from the rivers and lakes gathered outside the city of Quanzhou, and there were so many people who had nothing but daily scolding and fighting.

Even the fighting outside has subsided, and everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm.

Once it erupts, it will be earth-shattering.

The ancestral residence of the Pu family in Quanzhou City.

Since Quanzhou was besieged by these people from the rivers and lakes, almost all the important figures of the Pu family have gathered here.

Of course, not all of them were here, and some did not come back but hid outside.

If Quanzhou can't keep it, at least it can keep a little blood for Pushi. All eggs can't be put in one basket.

There were hundreds of people sitting in the hall, and these people were whispering to each other, full of noisy voices.

Some people sighed with worry on their faces, some blushed emotionally and kept shouting that they should go out and fight with them, and some were persuading them to calm down.

At present, there is no unified opinion within the Pu family, and most of them still prefer to stick to it, and then clarify with the outsiders that the treasures of the Song Dynasty have nothing to do with their Pu family.

In their view, as long as they persist on their side for long enough, these people in the world will see no benefit and will naturally retreat.

"The patriarch is here." A shout sounded from outside.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stood up in unison.

An old man stepped in from the outside. This old man seemed to be in his seventies, wearing an ordinary official uniform, and leaning on crutches. This was Pu Shougeng, who was actually over 80 years old.

When Pu Shougeng sat down, under his signal, all the people present took their seats one after another.

The hall was still silent. After Pu Shougeng came, he sat silently, which made other people dare not make a sound.

As the patriarch of the Pu clan, Pu Shougeng has great prestige, and it can be said that he can say what he says.

Especially for important matters related to the life and death of the family, everyone is waiting for him to preside over them.

After sitting like this for a quarter of an hour, Pu Shougeng finally said, "I heard that someone is going to spend 500 million taels of silver to get rid of the disaster?"

Some of the people below looked nervous, and they were the ones who proposed or supported this approach.

Because of the calm tone of the patriarch, they didn't know whether he was happy or angry, whether he agreed with their approach or opposed it, which made them feel uneasy.

No one dared to speak out, and everyone held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

Pu Shougeng called a person's name, and the person stood up hastily.

"Patriarch, this is what we think. Let's get rid of these people in the rivers and lakes first. Even if we can't get rid of them, 500 million taels of silver can make many people leave. There are fewer people, and the rest are nothing to worry about." , won’t this crisis be resolved? As for the 500 million taels, it may be a bit much, in fact, 300 or 500 million taels should be enough. We are planning for the worst, so we have reported [-] million taels for emergencies . " After the man finished speaking, he waited for the patriarch to deal with it with a shy smile.

"Fork him out, beat him hard, deprive him of his position as an elder, and if he doesn't die, he will spend ten years behind closed doors." Pu Shougeng said flatly.

After his words fell, two guards came in immediately outside.

"Patriarch, I~~ I'm all thinking about the safety of the family, I~~"

Pu Shougeng didn't pay attention to it at all, and the two guards dragged him out like a wolf like a tiger.

Soon, there were crackling boards and screams outside the door.

Everyone in the hall was trembling and sweating profusely.

Maybe it will be me who will be unlucky next time, especially those who danced happily before.

If you hit a hundred boards, you will be disabled even if you don't die.

"Do you think I'm old and you can take over?"

The voice was not loud, but everyone present felt as if they had fallen into a cellar of ice, and their whole bodies felt cold.

This is a warning, especially the scream of the man outside, killing chickens and monkeys.

They all cried and cried, and swore all kinds of things.

The noise in the hall returned instantly, even more noisy than before.

They were frightened. Now that the family is in a special period and they are treated specially, if the patriarch uses this to convict him and start a killing spree, who would dare to say no?

No one wants to be second to that person outside, and they may even be in danger of their lives.

"This is the money my Pu clan earned with their lives, how can I just give it away like this?" Pu Shougeng's voice turned cold, and the crutch in his hand kept kicking on the bluestone ground, making a crisp bang bang bang sound.

The sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts, shaking their minds and making them even more fearful.

"I wanted to kill people." Pu Shougeng's voice was heard by everyone, like the ecstasy sound from Nine Nethers, it was too terrifying.

However, the content of this sentence warmed the hearts of the people present, and the chill subsided a lot in an instant.

I wanted to kill, but now I mean I don't want to kill.

Everyone looked up at Pu Shougeng one after another, wanting to know the following content.

"Some of you want money, and some of you want power." Pu Shougeng continued.

Those who moved this thought were all terrified, they knew that what they did these days was seen by the patriarch.

It has to be said that Pu Shougeng's age still gave them some ideas in their hearts. They were all over 80, and with Pu Shougeng's body that had never practiced martial arts, he was going to die soon.

They are still holding the power of the family at such an old age, which makes many people in the back feel a little dissatisfied.

If it were normal, no one would dare to do these actions, but now something like this happened.

In their view, it is not only a crisis for the family, but also a good opportunity for some of them.

It is a good thing for them to get rich and get rich, as long as the Pu clan is not completely wiped out.

Unexpectedly, all of this was shattered by Pu Shougeng's words. How dare they think about anything else now, only that the patriarch really doesn't care.

"The power, it will be yours sooner or later, what are you in a hurry for?" Pu Shougeng continued, "As for the wealth, you can take it if you want, but if you send it out for no reason, you will be courting death."

Everyone understands something.

Why did the patriarch punish that elder just now?

Everyone knows that if the method of destroying wealth and eliminating disasters is really passed, then 500 million taels will be allocated, and in the end, more than half of them will be divided up by people on their own side, and then sent to the people in the rivers and lakes.

The patriarch was not afraid that the people on his side would be divided privately, but was angry because everyone sent silver taels to outsiders.

"Do you think the old man is worthless?" Pu Shougeng continued, "Giving people away also earns money. Look at people, do we give less to the court every year? Quite a lot, but we get more. Give it to people in the world outside, can you give it away?" What do you get? Do you really think those guys will retreat? I have lived for more than 80 years, and I have never met anyone or encountered anything. Everyone in these rivers and lakes is a greedy person. If you give him money, he will not only They won't be grateful, they won't retreat, but they will think of me as a blackmailer, and they will pounce on them even more viciously, and things will really be irreparable by then."

"Patriarch, tell me, what should we do now?" Someone finally couldn't help asking.

"Arrange troops to go out of the city to attack and kill them tonight." Pu Shougeng said with a calm face, "I want you to kill them so that their blood flows into rivers and their fear, so that they can understand that I, Pu, are not so easy to mess with."

"But~~" Some people looked a little hesitant, but they didn't dare to say any more, for fear of angering the patriarch.

"Are you afraid of the masters outside?" Pu Shougeng sneered, "Those masters are only a minority after all, and our targets tonight are mainly ordinary people in the world, so it is much easier to kill them. Ignore those masters for the time being, and use the method of killing a master For the price, we can kill hundreds or thousands of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. For those mobs, blood flowing into rivers is the best deterrent. Of course, although they are not mobs, the gathering of so many people still strengthens them Courage, the old man thinks that after they are killed, except for the dead, at least half of the remaining people will flee because of fear. At that time, there will not be too many people left. So what if they are some experts? I dare For sure, many of these sects and masters will not make any more moves, these guys originally wanted to take advantage of the crowds to fish in troubled waters. Maybe some of these people have a good relationship with us Pushi."

Everyone's eyes were wide open. Although it sounds unbelievable, it is entirely possible for those guys to secretly do black hands for the sake of money, especially the huge wealth of their own family.

With the retreat of many ordinary people in the arena, they will lose this group of cover-up people, so naturally they will not really take the initiative to expose their identities.

Thinking of this, they secretly sighed in their hearts, ginger is still old and spicy.

As for the forces and masters who are malicious towards Pu Shi, they will definitely not retreat.

These people, I have to face no matter what.

The patriarch's hand is enough to eliminate more than half of the opponent's power.

The strength of ordinary people in the arena is average, but the victory lies in the fact that there are many people.

Ants kill elephants more often, Pushi dare not be careless now, and try to increase the chances of winning for their side when they are in a decisive battle with those malicious forces.

"It's been so many days, and the two sides are really calm." Zhang Junbao stood on a hill more than ten miles away from Liquanzhou City and looked in the direction of the city. There were sporadic lights inside and outside the city. It's three o'clock.

Behind him are Dugu Jiani and Changsun Xuan, as well as several of their guards.

"It should be almost there. There will definitely be changes in the past few days." Dugu Jiani laughed.

"Didn't you get any news?" Zhang Junbao asked, "For example, when will they make a move, whether it is the Pu family or the Mingjiao, or the imperial court and the Six Dao Sect?"

In the past few days, Zhang Junbao has inquired about the Mingjiao's movements and the whereabouts of Emei and his party, but Dugu Jiani didn't give him any good news.

Zhang Junbao felt that Dugu Jiani shouldn't have lied to herself, she really didn't know about them.

Now the major forces seem to be very careful to hide their whereabouts and not easily exposed.

Due to the large number of people on Mingjiao's side, their whereabouts were not so secretive, but some important figures like Zhao Yilian and Fang Zhaofu were basically not noticed.

"Moving?" Zhang Junbao's ears twitched suddenly before the two girls answered.

The faces of the two women also changed slightly.

And at this time, a guard came towards this side from a short distance and reported: "Miss, many masters of the Pu family suddenly appeared in the city, killing people in the rivers and lakes outside the city by surprise, causing heavy casualties."
