C46 The Situation Deteriorated
C46 The Situation Deteriorated
The political commissar, the chief of staff, as well as a deputy commander of the army, as well as two important army leaders of the two sub-divisions under the military had all turned traitor. Uh, it might be a little too serious to say rebel, but in Liu Xuande's heart, they had turned traitor.
In the past, Liu Xuande was able to control the entire army while the commissar, the chief of staff, and the others all supported him. However, the moment before, they no longer supported him, and joined together to take over his position as the commander-in-chief.
To Liu Xuande, this was a failure, but it was not enough to make Liu Xuande feel gloomy. The reason for the 180 degree change was all because of his subordinate's help.
In the blink of an eye, the two camps turned into two opposing factions. Liu Xuande found this hard to accept and felt both disappointment and heartache.
"They did it?" Yang Shufen asked.
"Yes." Liu Xuande nodded, then glanced at his wife and said. "They took me into the air. I thought I could make them give their all to contribute to the country and the army by raising a civilian officer, but in the end, they were bribed by the ancient martial arts bloodline. It hurts …"
All these years, Liu Xuande had mentioned a lot of military officers, and they were all civilian officers. In his army, there were almost no aristocratic families, but now it was the military officers he mentioned that had betrayed him and taken over his authority.
"Since they are ingrate, then there is no need to be courteous to them. Furthermore, I suspect that those people are already set up as pawns by that side. " Yang Shufen was clearly very angry as well. After a pause, she continued. You've been in business for so many years, yet you haven't nurtured any trusted aides? "
"…" Liu Xuande did not speak, but the relaxed expression on his face was enough to say one thing, and that was that his trusted aide had been trained by him.
"That's much simpler. They want to take over your authority, so they might as well take this opportunity to purge the place of those ingrate and let them all die." Yang Shufen's face was filled with murderous intent.
Surprise!
Liu Xuande was extremely shocked. He looked at his wife who had shared a bed with him for more than twenty years with a strange look.
Twenty years had passed, and he had originally thought that he understood his wife's character very well. However, at this moment, Liu Xuande discovered that his wife was actually so unfamiliar. However, after thinking about it for a bit, he felt relieved.
"Don't call your son, I'll make the call myself. I want to see, our son doesn't care whether we live or die." Yang Shufen's words did not sound right, but the smile on her face revealed her true thoughts.
"That's right. Yang Shufen always did as she said. This time, she directly made a call to Liu Yi. Without waiting for Liu Yi to react, she narrated the current situation one by one before adding a sentence." Son, do you care about this matter? "
Damn! Can Liu Yi say he didn't care? Did he dare to ignore it?
Helpless, Liu Yi finally understood his mother's vehemence after hearing the sound of her phone hanging up. He shook his head with a bitter smile and muttered. "It looks like I'll have to make a trip to the G province!"
Liu Yi had his own information channel, although it was impossible for him to enter the Ancient Martial Arts Faction, he still received the news and knew that the Ancient Martial Arts Faction was going to make a move, he had been paying attention to this matter, but he never would have thought that the other party would actually dare to take over his father's authority, although he didn't do anything to his father, it was no different from making a move.
Originally, he thought that destroying the Li and Yi Families would be enough to intimidate their ancient martial arts bloodline. Even if they wanted to make a move against an ordinary family, they wouldn't dare to do anything to the Liu family, but now, it seemed that the ancient martial arts bloodline's deterrence towards him was nothing.
This was naked disregard, how could the proud Liu Yi tolerate this.
"You can't blame me for this!" Liu Yi gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Originally, as long as the Ancient Martial Arts Faction didn't attack the Liu Clan, Liu Yi wouldn't care. But now that they had made a move on the Liu Clan, no matter what Liu Yi had to do, they had to take care of it.
"..."
Everything that had happened in the military region of G Province had happened in the other military regions as well. However, the military personnel of other aristocratic families were not as lucky as Liu Xuande.
If they were driven out, there would naturally be some people who would not accept it. Some people would directly resist, but they would not be able to. In the end, they would even be at a disadvantage and some of their descendants would be killed by the ancient martial arts families.
The loss of control over the military had caused the ordinary families to lose their greatest advantage. The battle had escalated to a whole new level, and the atmosphere in the capital had turned heavy. The families had gathered together once again to discuss on how to deal with this situation.
All the families had been prepared, but none of them thought that after all these years, the ancient martial arts had been secretly nurturing a lot of officers. When the ancient martial arts started to move, they would quickly seize power.
China's system is led by the government, but once the army falls into other people's hands, then that's not good. Without a military force, the government is like an empty shell.
Even if you ascend to the highest position in the army, the armies below may not necessarily listen to you. That's why, on the surface, it looks like the ancient martial arts bloodline controls the army, but they are still far from being able to fully control it.
Therefore, even though ordinary bloodline families were very nervous, it was not to the extent of being anxious. As long as they could solve the problem within a short period of time, they might be able to deal with the bad things and clean up the ancient martial arts bloodline's power that had been planted in the army.
The discussion quickly reached a conclusion and everyone dispersed. However, other than the elders from the aristocratic families, no one else knew. Even the direct descendants of their families had no way of knowing the result.
However, from everyone's faces, it could be seen that the situation wasn't as bad as they had imagined. Everything was still under control.
However, as one of the protagonists of this incident, Liu Yi didn't care about the atmosphere or the arrangements of his family. He was currently sitting on the plane with no expression on his face, looking relaxed and carefree.
The plane that Liu Yi was on was naturally the plane to G Province. When he received his mother's call, he did not dare to stop for even a moment. He booked the earliest plane ticket out and prepared to head to G Province.
"I hope you're not so stupid as to make a move on my parents. Otherwise, I will make you pay a million times the price." Liu Yi said in his heart.
Knowing that some of the ancient martial arts descendents had been killed, Liu Yi became nervous, afraid that his parents would follow in their footsteps. Although he didn't have much of an expression on his face right now, his heart was not perfect.
After all, he was a part of the Liu family. He had left home for seven years, and he was filled with guilt towards his parents.
"..."
Perhaps Liu Xuande's authority had been seized and Liu Yi was only angry for a moment, but if Liu Xuande was persecuted, then things would become serious. If he was angry, then he would probably transfer the entire Burning Heaven Mercenary Company into China and take revenge on a large scale.
Of course, Liu Yi didn't want to look like that. After all, New China was very peaceful. It had developed very quickly over the years and was already like a big country. It wasn't as soft as it used to be.
In fact, the people of the Ancient Martial Arts Faction also knew Liu Yi's character, they did not dare to do anything to the Liu Family. Therefore, when Liu Yi arrived at the military district to meet his parents, they were only slightly disappointed and did not suffer any injuries.
"A good calculation..." "What a good plan …"
After hearing his father's story, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh. Like he had said, the ancient martial arts bloodline really was a good schemer. It seems that they had secretly developed it for nearly 20 years.
Alright, silently developing for twenty years, with a large portion of people capable of doing so, if this silent development was not discovered, then it would be extremely difficult. After all, the entire Huaxia country is controlled by a normal family, and there are spies everywhere, but nothing wrong.
"What a good plan!" Liu Xuande also agreed with Liu Yi's words, but he could hear it clearly. His son seemed to be ridiculing an ordinary family clan, and he felt a little displeased. However, he did not say anything, but only silently explained. Their way of development is very covert, divided into two lines, one in the light, the other in the dark. "
"In the open, they openly train their forces. Due to the orders given by the Grand Ancestor, even though those people have ascended to a high position, they do not have much power." Liu Xuande continued speaking. "Those people aren't their main focus on nurturing, but to attract firepower. These years, in order to restrict their development, our side of people have focused all of their attention on them, ignoring the hidden snares behind their development. That's why today's scene appeared."
Liu Yi was no fool and didn't need his father to explain; he knew the crux of this matter. But at this time, he didn't say anything, and his expression turned solemn as he stared at his father. Only when the latter couldn't meet his fierce gaze did he smile and ask this. "Dad, what do you think? Should we continue with the refund?"
His father's aura was not bad, he had the bearing of a general and was a type of tough guy, but he lacked the decisiveness to kill and had always treated people with kindness. Yes, Liu Xuande treated people with benevolence, not with benevolence.
Being a good man and governing an army were two entirely different concepts. Being a kind man, governing an army was like being made of iron, after all, Liu Xuande was very clear that a merciful soldier couldn't bring along a good army, so he was very kind and extremely good to his subordinates. However, when he was leading his troops, he was as hard as iron, as if he had two different personalities.
However, Liu Xuande had overlooked one thing, and that was that he did not have a competitive spirit, unlike Liu Yi, who had been out for seven years and had seen too many things.
"Sigh …"
Liu Xuande let out a soft sigh. Being intimidated by his son's imposing manner, he felt very helpless in his heart. "No matter what you say, I don't dare to look you in the eye when my son is staring at me. This is a very humiliating matter." "I am not as good as my son!"
"Continue!"
Although Liu Xuande felt ashamed, he didn't say anything. After all, his son was so outstanding. At this moment, he was even proud of his son. However, he was in the mood to get back to proper business.
"Very well, give me the information on the people who participated in this takeover." Liu Yi nodded indifferently. In the end, he didn't forget to add another sentence. "Also, since the higher ups of the military sector in G Province are from the Ancient Martial Arts Division, please give me your list of names as well."
Liu Yi was very calm without any killing intent. But as a father, how could Liu Xuande not know what Liu Yi wanted to do?
Liu Xuande did not want his son to kill more, but at the same time, he also clearly knew that without using iron-blooded methods, he would be unable to suppress the ancient martial arts bloodline. In the end, he could only sigh and say. I'll give it to you later. "
"Yes."
"..."
The night gradually deepened and the military compound became quiet. The same was true for the Liu family. However, in this silent night, there were undercurrents. When the clock struck midnight, a shadow sprang out of the Liu family's window.
Ten seconds after the shadow had disappeared, a light came on in a room on the second floor of the courtyard. If you looked closely, it was not hard to see that the room was filled with white smoke.
Liu Xuande, who had not slept for the entire night, turned off all the lights and quietly stayed in the study room, all the way until the black shadow, oh, which was Liu Yi, rushed out of the window. Only then did he turn on the light, and from the window, watched Liu Yi's leaving figure.
Liu Xuande was very clear that the reason Liu Yi left was for the sake of killing someone to regain power for his father.
"Sigh …"
After a long while, Liu Xuande sighed and muttered to himself. Being a father is a failure. "
However, Liu Yi didn't know his father's sadness. Perhaps if he knew, he would comfort him, "Dad, this is what your son owes you."
After leaving home for seven years, he owed his parents far too much. It seemed like it wasn't enough to do something for his father.
With this mindset, Liu Yi went to the higher ups of the military, starting with the higher ups of the army, killing off all those who conspired to take over his father's authority. Every time Liu Yi took action, he would not leave a single person alive, regardless of gender or age, guards or servants, they would all be killed one by one.
If he didn't make a move, then so be it. Once he made a move, he would no longer show the slightest bit of mercy.
Perhaps some people were innocent, but Liu Yi couldn't be blamed. If they had to blame something, they would blame the wrong family, follow the wrong master, and if their master or elder did something wrong, they would have to bear the burden together.
This was Liu Yi's standard of conduct. In the past, Liu Yi had done this, but after returning to his homeland, Liu Yi had changed a lot. He did not kill his family as soon as he made a move, but this time, it was different.
Using Liu Yi's words, the Li and Yi Families' annihilation was not enough to intimidate the Ancient Martial Arts Faction. Then, he would start with the people from the G province group and kill them one by one to see if the Ancient Martial Arts Faction would continue to be stubborn.
A dozen or so families needed him to visit them, and he had to finish them by tonight. Thus, in order to not affect the progress of the event, Liu Yi went to one clan before going to the next.
When the sky gradually brightened, Liu Yi, who had destroyed the current Number One of the G Provincial Military Region, walked home on foot, ignoring the blood that was all over his body. He washed up, got into bed and fell asleep, as if nothing had happened.
However, what had happened had happened, and no one could ignore it. Especially since this incident was a bit too big.
