C224 The Mu Clan's Determination
In the meeting room of the Gu family, gu Zhengqing, who was dressed like a gardener, seemed to be deep in thought. The group of Gu family's higher ups beside him kept silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to interrupt.
Gu Yang and Koo Liangren, father and son, were silently waiting by the side.
After a long while, gu Zhengqing said in a clear voice: "People nowadays have more and more money, but their courage is getting lesser and lesser. People have to live their lives to live up to their conscience."
"In the past, when I was discussing the Dao with that old man Lin Lieh, he once told me that wherever there are people, there will be the Jianghu, and when there is the Jianghu, there will be conflicts."
"You have to know that there are not only conflicts in the world of martial arts, but also humanity and the ways of the world."
Gu Zhengqing valued power, but he valued people's hearts more. His burning gaze swept across the many children and grandchildren present. "When all of you are pressing forward with indomitable will, think about the people who have helped our Gu family all these years."
"Without Lin Lieh, I'm afraid that our Gu family will still be living under someone else's roof."
"I, gu Zhengqing, will always remember this favor in my heart. Even if I were to be crushed into pieces, it would still be difficult to repay it."
Gu Zhengqing's tone was not heavy, but the weight in his words stunned everyone.
Gu Yang immediately expressed his stance: "Father, I know what to do."
Gu Zhengqing nodded slightly.
A little further away, Koo Liangren looked at his grandfather in such a serious manner for the first time, as if he had not truly known this old man for more than twenty years.
At the same time, the Gu family welcomed an uninvited guest, the young master of Mu Family, mu Feng. He had come to the Mu Family alone.
At such a sensitive moment, the Mu family, who had first joined the Hua Family, had sent Mu Feng to the Gu family. Their motive was obvious.
Gu Zhengqing closed his door and did not see him.
However, Koo Liangren met the insufferably arrogant Mu Feng.
Two of the top Wealthy Class young men with the same status.
After a long confrontation, Koo Liangren was the first to make a fuss. "We, the Gu family, do not associate ourselves with beasts."
His meaning could not be clearer.
However, mu Feng did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Koo Liangren meaningfully and said with a cold smile. "Your Gu family intends to accompany the Lin Family in death?"
"I'm not sending you off!" Koo Liangren shouted coldly. The two of them bid farewell and each of them had their own destiny.
The news of the Mu Family's first rebellion had shocked the entire Jinling. In an instant, the Mu Family had become the public enemy of the Jinling.
However, the Mu family didn't care about these things. What they wanted was the supreme power, Fugui, whom they could enjoy for the rest of their lives. As for the curses behind them, they could do whatever they wanted.
Right now, the top priority of the Mu Family was to encourage the other wealthy families to follow the Mu Family and join the Hua Family.
As one of the five big families, the Gu family was naturally the priority target of the Mu Family. Initially, they thought that they could take advantage of this rare opportunity to persuade the Gu family to join forces with them and take over the Lin Family together.
Who would have thought that Mu Feng, who came personally, would be scolded by the arrogant Koo Liangren before he even saw Gu Zhengqing.
When the news spread, everyone clapped their hands.
Life and death were insignificant. If you were not convinced, then do it.
When the exciting news reached the Lin Family, Lin Lieh only smiled, as he had expected.
Although Gu Zhengqing was usually muddle-headed and even delayed the matter of the heir for a few decades before settling it, he would never be muddle-headed when faced with a big problem. He would be more clear-headed than anyone else.
In Mu Family, the Gu family had expressed their stance one after another.
Two of the five families had already made their stance public. The remaining three families were afraid that they would not be able to hold on for long under the constant pressure from the Hua Family.
Afternoon.
The Mu Family, who had made up their mind to be an eagle dog of the Hua Family, began to mobilize their troops to build a base in the Jinling's city camp. Their goal was to prepare for the invasion of the Hua Family's mighty army in the Jinling in the near future.
The Lin Family remained silent and didn't stop them. They just let the Mu Family do whatever they wanted.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Mu Family built another sacrificial altar that was sixty meters tall next to the station.
After all, the Hua Family had publicly announced that they would bury Lin Ruoxue on the day of Hwa Meng's funeral.
In order to please the Hua Family, the Mu Family had done their best. They even found many local priests and monks to perform a grand ceremony.
The Lin Family remained silent.
The matter was getting more and more urgent, and the people of Jinling were getting more and more anxious. However, in the eyes of the Mu Family, the Lin Family was at their wit's end. What else could they do besides waiting for death?
In the end, it was still the Hua Family's army on the river surface that was too intimidating. Furthermore, the Mu Family had received the news that the Hua Family had begun to contact the army of 800,000 soldiers who were in the middle of a military exercise on the river surface.
Not long ago, there was a rumor that someone was talking about it. The army of 800,000 soldiers was coming for Lin Lieh. Back then, Lin Lieh had invited the Hua Family and the other six families to Jinling to help the Lin Family.
Unexpectedly, the Hua Family and the other six families had switched sides. When friends became enemies, enemies would naturally become friends. Once both sides joined forces, they would certainly turn Jinling upside down.
Lin Lieh, no matter how domineering you are, it was absolutely not a force of nearly two million soldiers. It was a force that could destroy everything in its path!
This was a bet that only death awaited. No wonder the Lin Family had remained silent until now, because they couldn't do anything except silence.
At the banquet of the Mu Family.
Mu Xun and his three sons entered the banquet at the same time.
"Today, I went to check on the progress of the construction. Everything went smoothly, and the altar's design was also very good."
Mu Yu took the initiative to report.
The three sons of Mu Family felt pity in their hearts. They had seen Lin Ruoxue before. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was an outstanding beauty. They even fantasized about sharing a bed with this person.
Who knew that she would die in a few days? How could they not sigh with emotion?
Sure enough, the affairs of the world were unpredictable.
Because of Hwa Meng's sudden death, Hua Family decided to use Lin Ruoxue as a public sacrifice. Now that they thought about it, it was a bit of a waste.
Mu Feng suddenly sighed. " Such a good woman, what a pity."
Lin Lieh's birthday banquet must have been ruined by the Hua Family's disturbance. He reckoned that the marriage competition would be ruined as well.
"Can we ask the Hua Family to make an exception and let the Lin Family hand over Lin Ruoxue first, and let the Mu Family take care of her for us?"
Mu Yu suggested.
The three brothers looked at each other and smiled evilly.
Mu Xun naturally knew what his three sons were thinking and angrily rebuked, "Have you never seen a woman before? Aren't you afraid of bad luck when people are about to die?"
Mu Feng laughed loudly, "This is nothing. She, Lin Ruoxue, looks so good. Before she dies, she can also have a taste of fish water. It was not in vain for her to live this life!"
"Boom!"
The Mu Family, which had been heavily guarded a long time ago, was now rammed by a black business car. It directly smashed the door, crushed many servants, and drove into the courtyard.
The father and son of the Mu Family were shocked. Who in the world had the guts to barge into the Mu Family? Did they want to die?
"You dare to cause trouble in our Mu Family? I think you are courting death!"
Mu Feng stood up and said to the black carriage in the courtyard.
