Chapter 830 - Great Evil
Chapter 830 – Great Evil
As Qu Liuxi expected, that night, many famous families from the Northwest came to pay their respects. The previously deserted city suddenly became lively.
The name of the city was known by the three ancients, and the origin of this name was unknown. As there were demon beasts attacking from time to time near the desert where An Zheng and the Eagle Horse s were fighting, the people of this city lived a miserable life. He didn’t dare to leave the protection of the city walls, so he could only stay here and live in fear every day. However, the only reason why he was still alive was because of how Da Xi had militarized every city. If the city walls were not equipped with a large number of weapons, even the local garrison would have to maintain strict drills every year for at least four months.
Some people said that this place was a fortress, and alsrison. The supplies started to get more and more tight, because the supplies that Holy See could easily deliver to them on the road had been cut off by the beasts. The Eagle Horse had targeted the damage to the Northwest Land, destroying most of the official road that led to the Central Plains.
Relying on the fleet to transport supplies, the first was that the consumption of the battleships was too huge, and the supplies were still insufficient. Da Xi was unable to draw out that many battleships to transport food. Thus, it was better to stay close to the Lancang River since Da Xi’s water fleet was there and could be transported back and forth.
It had always been the habit of the Great Western Region’s past Sacred Emperors to live in peace and security. However, it was important for the northwest to be exhausted. Therefore, every year, the materials to the northwest were delivered in an unending stream. Other than the highest level who knew about it, very few people knew that there were actually several huge underground granaries in the northwest that were used to prepare for war.
However, because of this, no one knew where the underground granary was. Even if the food in this city was saved, it would only last two months at most.
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Clan did not send anyone over.
In the room, Qu Liuxi tidied up An Zheng’s clothes, and said with a smile: If nothing goes wrong, these people will praise you to the heavens. As long as you reveal the slightest hint that you want to return to the Jinling, they will do everything they can to stop you. that would make you feel that it would be impossible for the Northwest to leave you. You are the savior of the Northwest. ”
“To do this, they may make a big deal. They all know roughly what kind of person you are, and they’re probably going to put you in a difficult position with the lives of the people. They need time. After all, it’s not that easy to get rid of you. ”
An Zheng laughed and said: “Then I will just listen to those flattering words.”
Qu Liuxi said: “Listen up, I don’t need money anyways. These people didn’t have many tricks up their sleeves. One was to kill them, while the other was to kill them. I will pull you into their trap step by step. After I kill you, I will report this to the Holy See and say that you are too arrogant, not listening to them, to the point that you underestimate your enemies and die from being surrounded by demon beasts … how much they lost to save you, that’s all. ”
An Zheng: “Then tell me how do you want to deal with this.”
Qu Liuxi said: “You go deal with them first, I still have some things that I haven’t prepared. When I’m ready, I’ll tell you. I can’t possibly brag so much... “In the end, I failed.”
An Zheng: “You almost blurted out such vulgar words.”
Qu Liuxi’s face slightly blushed. “Quickly get up, those important figures are already waiting anxiously for us.”
An Zheng smiled and nodded. He gave Qu Liuxi a kiss on his forehead, then turned around and walked out of the room. In just one day, there were at leasundred people from the large families in the northwest region, and many sect heads had also arrived. Currently, there were no less than two hundred people gathered in the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
After An Zheng left, Qu Liuxi sat on the chair, closed his eyes and began to organize her thoughts, going through every detail one by one. After ensuring that there were no problems, she slowly opened his eyes.
She took out the teleportation pendant created by the Oldman Huo, and after a moment of absent-mindedness, she returned to the ship. Right now, the ship was floating above the three ancient cities, but because it was too high up, those people couldn’t feel it at all.
After returning to the reverse boat, Qu Liuxi called Zhong Jiuge over first.
Zhong Jiuge came in from outside, smiling mischievously: “Mistress, what are you looking for me for?”
Qu Liuxi glared at him: “When did you take me as your master?”
Zhong Jiuge said: “Then isn’t it just a matter of minutes... Is there something big I have to do? “I’m going to get scared. I’ve been wanting to go out for some exercise.”
Qu Liuxi instructed him with a few words, instructing him to absolutely not have any accidents. Zhong Jiuge knew that this matter was more important, so he quickly agreed.
And just at this moment, when An Zheng was dealing with the so-called big figures in the Three Great Cities, even more big figures were gathering in Pingyao city, which was less than two hundred kilometers away from the Three Great Cities.
The original strongest power in the Northwest was thirteen of the seven sects. Of the seven Sects and thirteen Clans, the Yuwen Clan was fully deserving of their position as number one. The Helian Family that had been destroyed was also one of them. Currently, eleven clans from the seven sects had come to Pingyao city. The Helian Family had been exterminated, and no members of the Yuwen Clan had come.
The Xiao Clan of the Northwest was naturally not as powerful as the Yuwen Clan. However, other than the Yuwen Clan, they were considered to be one of the stronger clans amongst the other clans. This gathering was being held by the Xiao Clan’s Patriarch, Xiao Feiyang.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Feiyang replied, “Since everyone is here, I believe they know why I called everyone here.”
The Lu family’s Patriarch, Lu Yuanming, said, “We all know that it won’t work. Now that Yuwen Clan’s people can’t pretend to be stupid, this matter has become more mysterious. “If we don’t understand the Yuwen Clan’s intentions, we won’t be able to do anything without any assurance.”
The sect leader of the Great Treasure Sect, Ding Shui said: “That’s right, right now Yuwen Clan does not have any attitude, so it’s not good for us to make any judgement. If the Yuwen Clan stands by Chen Liuxi’s side, then this matter will have to be discussed over long term. ”
Lu Yuanming said, “Didn’t we all go to the Three Ancient Cities? “What I mean is, we should wait and see how much information our people can bring back when they return. After all, once this event starts, there will be no other way out.”
Xiao Feiyang let out a cold snort, “It’s already come so far yet you all are still acting cowardly. Everyone should be clear that the balance in the Northwest has already been broken by that Chen Liuxi. When they came, they easily dealt with the Eagle Horse Beasts that we hadn’t dealt with in a few months. This slap isn’t on the face of my Xiao family.
The clan head of the Ding Clan, Ding Wen, said angrily, “This rampaging fellow is simply an idiot. He has never considered how difficult our situation is. Do you really think that we can’t even compare to one of him? They couldn’t kill a Eagle Horse? Did he ever think that right now, it’s just a Eagle Horse causing chaos? If the Eagle Horse dies, the Frozen Land would definitely send a stronger beast over, and when that time comes, he would pat his butt and leave.
Xiao Feiyang waved his hand, “Don’t talk about this useless stuff. Everyone knows what’s going on. In the end, you and I are clear about everything. The situation in the northwest was originally under our control, but now that things have turned messy, what will His Majesty think? I am not here to listen to what you have to say, but to ask for your attitude. This Chen Liuxi, should not have died. ”
“Damn it.”
Ding asked, “Of course, but now the Yuwen Clan...”
Xiao Feiyang said, “Don’t worry about Yuwen Clan. Do you think that Yuwen Clan is playing dumb? In fact, they were smarter and craftier than anyone else. The reason the Yuwen Clan did not come was because they were worried that the Saint King would implicate them if they found out about this. For Chen Zhongqi to die in their Yuwen Clan, it would not even be enough for them to repay with their own lives with just their Patriarch. Now that even they have difficulty keeping themselves safe, do you think their Yuwen Clan is still the same as before, covering the entire sky with one hand? ”
“Didn’t Chen Liuxi slap our face? Didn’t he slap their Yu Wen Family’s face too? It was just that Chen Zhongqi’s death had scared them out of their wits, so they did not dare to move recklessly. But they will definitely not stop us, because Chen Liuxi dying in the Northwest is the most joyous situation. It made Holy See feel that the demon beasts in the Northwest were truly too powerful and rampant, and so the supplies were continuously being transported over. The more miserably Chen Liuxi died, the more chaotic the Northwest was. ”
He looked at Lu Yuanming. “Didn’t you already have a solution?”
Lu Yuanming said, “About that... How could it be my way? I was just told to do so by someone else … In regards to the underground granary in the northwest, the only family that knows the exact location is Yuwen Clan, at least on the surface right? ”
Ding Wen suddenly reacted: “That’s right, the Holy See constructing the underground granary in the northwest is the responsibility of Yuwen Clan. Theoretically, only Yuwen Clan knows the exact location of the underground granary.”
The corner of Xiao Feiyang’s mouth rose, “That’s right. Didn’t Yuwen Clan not want to get involved? Isn’t that Chen Liuxi always announcing that the life and death of the citizens is greater than the heavens? With his appearance, he earned the support of many people. Since he is so famous, then let’s just dig a hole for him. ”
Since Lu Yuanming had already spoken, he could only continue. Although he was a little annoyed that Xiao Feiyang had pushed the plan to him. Actually, this plan was obviously made by Xiao Feiyang. From beginning to end, it was all planned by him.
“Coincidentally, Brother Xiao knows the location of an underground granary.”
Lu Yuan said, “Since we are using the underground granary as a method, we must use it for real. If the location of the underground granary were to be revealed to the demon beasts, they would definitely destroy it. When the time comes, inform Chen Liuxi to ask for his help. If he goes, that would brap. Of course, we would also send people to assist him, right? After all, if the Monstrous Beast cannot kill him, then we will have to do it ourselves. ”
Xiao Feiyang said, “We can still negotiate with the demon beasts and give them Chen Liuxi’s head. Let them go to other places to harm us. Sending the fierce beast that killed the Eagle Horse over, the big present demon beast should not refuse. ”
The Patriarch of Wei family who had not spoken all this while frowned: “Can’t I use a fake warehouse address? If they used the real thing, then the destroyed food would last for a year. At that time, due to the destruction of the granary, Northwest China might really fall into a crisis. ”
“You are upright!”
Xiao Feiyang laughed coldly, “There are so many people in this room! So what if they destroyed a granary? What if some commoners died? Who can this be blamed on? It’s still not that Chen Liuxi! If he hadn’t come, would the situation in the northwest be so difficult to deal with? We have to face demon beasts. If your Wei family feels disgraced because of this, you can withdraw. ”
Wei Ling opened his mouth, but in the end, all he could do was sigh.
The granary …
He suddenly felt that if this matter were to be recorded in the history books in the future, he didn’t know what would be written after his name.
