Chapter 277 Collusion
Time passed day by day. Starting from Luoshui City, the rebellion started by the Shadow Society began to spread in all directions towards Gunzhou Mansion, and the entire Gunzhou Mansion fell into chaos.
However, behind this chaos, there is a deeper contest hidden.
At the same time, Wei Qianxing directed the children of the Wei family to roam around the Gunzhou Mansion, contacting the masters of the Shadow Society.
His purpose is very clear, which is to use the power of the Shadow Society to deal with Fang Yue and clear this obstacle for the Wei family.
~~~~~~~
The night was as thick as ink, shrouding the manor outside Gunzhou Prefecture in mysterious darkness.
In the manor, the lights were dim, but figures could be vaguely seen moving, as if they were discussing some important secret.
At this time, Wei Qianxing came to the manor quietly.
His figure loomed in the night, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.
His gaze was deep and sharp, as if he could penetrate all lies and pretense.
He came here this time to have secret contact with the masters of the Shadow Society to discuss plans to deal with Fang Yue.
He knew that Fang Yue had become a stumbling block for the Wei family to move to a higher status and must be eradicated as soon as possible.
Wei Qianxing quietly entered the depths of the manor, where the masters of the Shadow Society had been waiting for a long time.
The atmosphere in the manor was tense and solemn, and everyone knew that this meeting was of great importance.
"Brother Wei, it's been a long time."
A shadow master in blood-clad clothes was the first to break the silence. His voice was hoarse and low, as if he was deliberately hiding his identity.
Wei Qianxing nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally settled on the man in black who spoke: "Everyone, the reason for coming here this time is to discuss the plan to deal with Fang Yue."
< br>"Haha! Your Excellency hit you right A good calculation!"
A Shadow Club expert said, "Although Fang Yue has a grudge against our Shadow Club, our Shadow Club's current goal is to capture Gunzhou Mansion. Deal with such a master!
In the manor, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Wei Qianxing's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not expect that the masters of the Shadow Society would reject his proposal so directly.
However, he immediately sneered in his heart.
These people still want to bargain with him at this time. They are really a group of short-sighted people.
Although Wei Qianxing sneered in his heart, his face remained calm. He knew that this was not the time to fall out with Shadow.
So, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Everyone, I understand your concerns. However, please believe me, Fang Yue's existence is a huge threat to both of us.
Not only is he hindering the development of the Wei family, he is also threatening the interests of the Shadow Society.
If we can work together to eradicate him, it will be a good thing for both the Wei family and the Shadow Society. "
Hearing this, the masters of the Shadow Society looked at each other, as if they were weighing Wei Qianxing's words.
They knew that Wei Qianxing was right, Fang Yue was indeed a difficult person.
However, they also know that once they are involved in this battle, they must disperse their current limited strength. For the current situation, Shadow will take greater risks.
"Brother Wei, you put it lightly."
The blood-clothed master sneered and said, "We know Fang Yue's strength very well, how easy is it to deal with him?
What's more, our current The main goal is to capture the Gunzhou Prefecture. If the big event is delayed because of dealing with Fang Yue, do you dare to bear the wrath of our leader?"
Wei Qianxing frowned slightly when he heard this.
Fang Yue's strength and influence cannot be underestimated, and it does cost a lot to deal with him.
Moreover, the current main goal of the Shadow Society is indeed to capture Gunzhou Mansion. This is their long-planned plan and cannot be missed.
However, Wei Qianxing also knew that if he could not use the power of the Shadow Society to deal with Fang Yue, it would undoubtedly be difficult to eradicate this powerful enemy with the strength of the Wei family alone.
He must do everything possible to convince the masters of the Shadow Society to join forces with him to deal with Fang Yue.
"After the matter is completed, my Wei family is willing to give you one hundred thousand taels of gold, which can arm fifty thousand people with weapons and armor."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the manor once again Get nervous.
The masters of the Shadow Society looked at each other, with a trace of greed and wavering in their eyes.
They know that the power and financial resources of the Wei family in Gunzhou Prefecture are extremely huge. If they can get the support of the Wei family, then the goal of taking over Gunzhou Prefecture will undoubtedly become easier to achieve.
Moreover, one hundred thousand taels of gold and weapons and armor that can arm ten thousand people, this is undoubtedly a huge wealth that the Shadow Society cannot refuse.
As long as they have these, they can better expand their power, recruit troops, and be fully prepared for future plans.
The blood-clothed master looked deeply at Wei Qianxing, as if weighing the pros and cons.
He knew that the conditions offered by Wei Qianxing at this time were extremely attractive, but they must also consider the risks involved.
After all, once they are involved in this battle, they will have to face Fang Yue, a powerful enemy, and it is very likely to cause other unnecessary troubles.
The blood-clothed master took a deep breath, and he understood that Wei Qianxing's proposal was not child's play.
This is not just a simple transaction, but also a major decision involving the future direction of the Shadow Society.
"Brother Wei, we have seen your sincerity." The blood-clothed master spoke slowly, with a bit of solemnity in his voice, "But you also know that our Shadow Society is always cautious in doing things. Fang Yue is not an ordinary person. Enemy, we must pay a huge price to deal with him.”
Wei Qianxing nodded and expressed his understanding: "I know this is not easy. But please believe that as long as we join forces, we will definitely succeed. No matter how strong Fang Yue is, he can't compete with the combined strength of our two families."
The blood-clothed master was silent for a moment, seeming to be considering Wei Qianxing's words.
After the blood-clothed master was silent for a moment, his eyes scanned the faces of other Shadow Society masters in the manor, as if looking for resonance or seeking opinions.
The atmosphere in the manor was once so tense that it was suffocating. Everyone knew that this decision would affect the future of the entire Shadow Society.
Finally, the blood-clothed master spoke again, with some firmness in his voice: "Brother Wei, we will seriously consider your proposal. However, we must ensure that this operation is foolproof, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. However, you You have to give us half of the reward first, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to the leader!”
Wei Qianxing felt slightly relieved when he heard this.
He knew that the masters of the Shadow Society had been persuaded by him, and now he only needed to give them some more time and confidence to promote this cooperation.
Wei Qianxing raised his eyebrows slightly. He understood that this was a test by the masters of the Shadow Society and a test of their sincerity in cooperation. He knew very well that there could not be any hesitation or stinginess at this time, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.
So, he nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, I can give you half of the reward first. However, I also hope that you can keep your promise and go all out to deal with it. Fang Yue.”
"Brother Wei is really refreshing!" The blood-clothed master praised, "Since you are so sincere, our Shadow Society is not an unscrupulous person. As long as the leader agrees, we will cooperate with Brother Wei's actions."
"That's very good. I'll leave first." Wei Qianxing nodded immediately and left.
~~~~~~~
After Wei Qianxing left, the Shadow Society masters in the manor fell into deep thought.
They sat around under the dim lights, and each person's face was shrouded in a mysterious shadow, making it difficult for people to see their true inner thoughts.
"Everyone, what do you think of Wei Qianxing's proposal?" The blood-clothed master was the first to break the silence, his voice still hoarse and low.
“This Wei Qianxing is really good at calculating.”
A man in black sneered, “He wants to use us to deal with Fang Yue. However, the conditions he offered are indeed tempting. people, one hundred thousand taels of gold and weapons and armor that can arm fifty thousand people. This It’s not a small amount.”
“It’s just gold. Those weapons and armor are the real scarce goods. With these, our Shadow Society can quickly expand our power and recruit troops for our future plans. Very well prepared," another expert added.
“Having said that, we can’t be dazzled by these gold and weapons and armor.”
The blood-clothed master reminded, "Fang Yue's strength should not be underestimated, and it is not easy to deal with him. Moreover, the Wei family is not an easy person, and we must be prepared for the opponent to kill him when the time comes."
" Indeed, the battle between the Wei family and Fang Yue, we There is no need for the Shadow Society to get involved. However, if we can take this opportunity to weaken the strength of both parties and gain the support of the Wei family's wealth, it will indeed be a rare opportunity for us." Another expert said. own opinion.
"Okay, it's settled. We're going to kill Fang Yue, and we're going to kill the Wei family too!"
The manor fell into silence again, everyone was there Weighing the pros and cons.
The words of the blood-clothed master broke the silence and shocked everyone.
After all, this means that Shadow will be against two powerful enemies at the same time, and the risk will undoubtedly increase greatly.
“Is this really good?” A master of the Shadow Society said hesitantly,
“Our current goal is to capture the Gunzhou Prefecture. Is it too risky to be an enemy of Fang Yue?”
“Humph, there is nothing in this world that can be achieved without taking risks?” "
The blood-clothed master snorted, "Wei Qianxing has made an offer that we cannot refuse, and he also knows our strength. As long as we can successfully deal with Fang Yue, the Wei family will become the leader. What’s in our pocket. By then, the entire Gunzhou Prefecture will be ours.”
Hearing the words of the blood-clothed master, the other masters of the Shadow Society also began to look moved. They join the Shadow Society to pursue power and wealth.
And now, an excellent opportunity is in front of them. As long as they can succeed, they can reach the sky in one step.
As a result, the atmosphere in the manor began to become fanatical, and everyone was full of fighting spirit and confidence.
They seemed to have seen the day when they stood on the top of Gunzhou Mansion.
"Okay! Let's just listen to the blood-clothed brother!" A master raised his arms and shouted.
"Yes! Who will our shadow be afraid of? Whether it is the Wei family or Fang Yue, they will become our stepping stones!" Another master also agreed.
The blood-clothed master saw everyone's reaction and nodded with satisfaction. He knew that he had successfully inspired everyone's fighting spirit and confidence.
Now, they are ready to take action.
"Okay! Since everyone agrees with my plan, let's start taking action!"
The blood-clothed master said loudly, "We want the Wei family and Fang Yue to know that the Shadow Society It’s not a soft persimmon that they can knead at will”
Following the order from the blood-clothed master, the Shadow Society masters in the manor took action one after another.
They began to discuss specific plans and action steps, preparing to launch a fatal blow to the Wei family and Fang Yue.
At this time, Wei Qianxing did not know that the Shadow Society had changed its mind, and he was still happily waiting for the good news from the Shadow Society.
However, he did not know that a storm targeting him and the Wei family had quietly arrived.
~~~~~~~~
Fang Yue sat in the study, the candlelight flickering, stretching his figure long and projecting it on the wall, like a towering mountain peak.
His eyes are as deep as the sea, as if he can see through all the hypocrisy and truth in the world.
“Now, the rebellion started by the Shadow Society has captured more than a dozen county towns in a row, and a hundred thousand troops have gathered, heading towards the capital.”
Fang Yueduan was sitting in the study. , the intelligence paper in his hand flipped gently, making a slight rustling sound.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the updates about the Shadow Society line by line.
The candlelight danced on his face, reflecting his calm and resolute face.
He took a deep breath and knew in his heart that this battle was of great significance to Gunzhou Prefecture and even the entire Wei Dynasty.
Fang Yue had already expected that the shadows would make big moves, but he did not expect that their moves would be so fast and so big.
“According to the current marching speed of the rebels, it will take less than three days to reach the city wall of Gunzhou Prefecture!”
“And now, there are only 20,000 defenders in the city. And, The court’s latest reinforcements will take ten days to arrive.”
Fang Yue frowned slightly, and gently put down the intelligence paper in his hand. He knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for Gunzhou Prefecture.
The Shadow Society's rebels are huge in number, but the city's defenders are severely lacking.
What's worse is that it will take ten days for the imperial court's reinforcements to arrive, which undoubtedly gives the Shadow Society an opportunity to take advantage.
"So, Wei family, Shadow Society, Blood Dragon Terrace, when will you enter the city?"
Fang Yue's muttering echoed in the empty study room, he His eyes seemed to penetrate the thick city wall and saw the coming storm.
He clearly knew that the Wei family, the Shadow Society, and even the Blood Dragon Platform were all secretly preparing to move, waiting for the best opportunity to launch a fatal blow to Gunzhou Mansion.
What they relied on was nothing more than the lack of defenders in the city and the delay in the arrival of the imperial reinforcements.
