Chapter 1212 Your Excellency, you don't want to either?
Chapter 1212 Your Excellency, you don't want to either?
Chen Yuanyu's words also dispelled the fog that had been shrouding Chen Chuying's eyes.
He chose to believe his grandson.
"Alright! In that case, let's proceed according to the original plan!"
Chen Chuying fantasized that Ye Nanxiao would appear as if on cue during the implementation of the plan, and then deliver a heavy blow to the Six Ministries, which still held power.
"But if our Chen family thinks this way, what about the other four families?" Chen Chuying suddenly thought of a question.
The Chen family has Chen Yuanyu who can see through Ye Nanxiao's schemes, but the heirs of the other four great families are basically only slightly better than good-for-nothings.
The Gu family has split, with the main branch following Ye Nanxiao, while the branch is still negotiating with other prominent families.
What were they talking about?
The discussion revolved around which powerful family was willing to pay the price, and the Gu family, after splitting off, would become subordinate to that family.
After all, the Gu family was weak on both sides after the split.
The remaining Su, Lin, and Xiao families all had eldest sons who indulged in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.
Although they have access to vast cultivation resources and possess considerable cultivation and insight, they are essentially second-generation individuals who fail to grasp the overall situation.
After all, the Chen family took action to support Xu Sanshi's statement, while the other three families did not take any action.
The Lin family even provoked Xu Sanshi.
Chen Chuying suddenly put on a playful smile. "This time, you won't be granting your little wives' every wish?"
Chen Yuanyu still took the second daughters and illegitimate daughters of the other three major families as concubines.
And they doted on them very much.
Chen Yuanyu shook his head slightly. He just doted on them, but if they couldn't figure out their place, he wouldn't mind letting them know who gave them their current identities.
"Breaking news! The Lin family has made a move against Xu Sanshi!"
Suddenly, a spy entered the meeting hall, holding a secret order.
Chen Chuying and Chen Yuanyu exchanged a glance, both conveying the same message.
The Lin family became the first to stick their neck out!
"Very well. That old bastard from the Lin family has been fighting with me for years! This time, I'll personally send him on his way!"
A slightly sinister smile appeared on Chen Chuying's face.
Chen Yuanyu did not comment on this.
A growing family is naturally a good thing.
As for his concubines, he just needs to discipline them.
At worst, their birth mother can be kept.
The Chen family made their choice, which disappointed Ye Nanxiao, who had been squatting outside trying to test the mountain torrent cannon. He even added a new component.
Ye Nanxiao waved for the hunter beside him to leave, promising him a great achievement and that he would continue to infiltrate the Chen family.
The hunter was overjoyed. Once he had collected seven more merits, he could have the blacksmith master within the merchant guild tailor-make a soul-guided armor for him.
"Looks like the target isn't here today." Ye Nanxiao put away the mountain torrent cannon, not expecting Chen Yuanyu to know him so well.
"It seems that I'm not high-profile enough in my actions and not low-profile enough in my personal life."
Ye Nanxiao disappeared from the Chen family mansion area in a few leaps.
The Chen family is very law-abiding, but other aristocratic families are not like that.
The Lin family sent people directly to negotiate with Xu Sanshi, demanding more benefits or else they would stand on the opposite side.
As for the evidence and Xu Shaoyu's search, the Lin family had a bunch of scapegoats.
It wasn't just the Lin family; the Su and Xiao families also intended to join forces and take advantage of Xu Sanshi's chaos to place more people in the imperial court.
In an instant, powerful families, government officials, and even the Great Emperor Douling himself began to target Xu Sanshi.
Xu Sanshi picked his ear at the eagerly arriving Lin family, looking disdainful.
The two members of the Lin family sitting across the table were filled with anger upon seeing Xu Sanshi's arrogance.
Damn it, your most powerful backer is now dead or alive! And you still dare to be so arrogant!
One of the Lin family members slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide with anger, and pointed at Xu Sanshi, shouting, "Xu Shaoyu! You're about to face a terrible disaster! And you're still so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that my Lin family will be completely overthrown?"
Xu Sanshi wasn't good-tempered; he wouldn't talk back when someone pointed at him and insulted him.
"Buzzing!"
A Type II soul-guided floating cannon, radiating a rich blue light, rose up directly beside Xu Sanshi.
A dark red light also appeared on Xu Sanshi's body.
The two members of the Lin family immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Xu Sanshi actually flipped the table and started a fight!
"Don't move!"
A rough, booming sound echoed in the room, followed by a violent surge of soul power.
He Caitou kicked open the door, his energy-concentrating soul-guided shotgun already fully charged.
The stored energy burst forth, blasting a member of the Lin family away with a single shot.
The other person immediately unleashed their martial spirit, and eight spirit rings rose behind them.
But Xu Sanshi kept his eyes on him, and seeing that his momentum was rising, he immediately made his move.
The Type II Soul Guidance Floating Cannon erupted with a cone-shaped radiance, instantly attracting the attention of the Lin family Soul Douluo.
The dark red soul power transformed into a giant hand.
"The Hand of the Mysterious Netherworld! Overwhelming Heaven and Earth!"
The large hand slammed down, and at the same time, a strong shockwave erupted from Xu Sanshi's body.
The Xuanming shockwave arrived first, directly engulfing the Lin family's Soul Douluo.
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanming Hand smashed him to the ground and suppressed him.
Xu Sanshi grabbed the floating cannon and covered it with his hand.
The Type II Soul Tool, designed specifically for one-on-one combat, demonstrates its advantage of being a handheld weapon.
The cannon muzzle was practically pressed against the face of the Lin family's Soul Douluo.
The intense soul power flames instantly covered the forehead of the Lin family's Soul Douluo with cold sweat.
"Yes! Let's talk this out! I surrender, you two heroes!"
"I observe that you are not exactly a man of steel. Now, I will ask questions, and you will answer. Do you understand?"
"If not, I wouldn't mind letting you experience our interrogation methods."
The latest novel is first published here!
Xu Sanshi smiled and gestured to He Caitou.
He Caitou instantly understood, and then a sly smile appeared on his face.
The captured Lin family Soul Douluo hadn't yet figured out what was going on.
Then they heard footsteps approaching, mixed with the barking of canine creatures.
A hunter led in a powerful dog and respectfully handed it over to He Caitou.
He Caitou held the brute dog on one hand, and a small white bottle suddenly appeared in his other hand.
"Sir, I have a Brute dog here that is currently in heat. This small bottle contains breeding drugs formulated for Brute dogs. It can get the female dog into the mating stage after taking it. I heard that this stuff tastes sweet. I would like to ask you to help verify this rumor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin's Soul Douluo's eyes widened, and he began to struggle frantically.
At that moment, how envious he was of his unconscious companion!
Xu Sanshi didn't have to wait long before he heard the Soul Douluo from the Lin family shout that he was surrendering.
"Very good, you have seized your destiny." He Caitou smiled kindly at the Soul Douluo.
"What do you know? Tell me everything." Xu Sanshi took the small white bottle from He Caitou's hand.
"My name is Lin Fan, and I am a family elder of the Lin family. I have come here to seek benefits for the Lin family!" Lin Fan, the Soul Douluo of the Lin family, said with a pale face, "I have come here to seek benefits for the Lin family!"
He had no choice but to speak, because two hunters were already standing behind him, and his belt had been cut.
Although the muscular, powerful dog wouldn't kill him, Lin Fan didn't want his name to be known throughout the entire continent, especially by those bastards who had already prepared the recording device!
Xu Sanshi imitated Ye Nanxiao's gesture and stroked his chin.
He couldn't figure anything out after that, so he turned to look at He Caitou.
There was only one meaning in his eyes.
Is someone causing trouble?
Grab your weapons and get him!
He Caitou kicked Lin Fan and asked, "Besides your Lin family, are there any other prominent families coming?"
Lin Fan was kicked and glared angrily at He Caitou, but when he saw the dog leash in the latter's hand, he chickened out.
He couldn't understand why someone who was a top student from Shrek Academy would be so shameless.
Isn't it said that Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, with a long-standing tradition of ten thousand years, and the holy land that all soul masters in the world yearn for?
These few points alone have created these two shameless scoundrels.
Lin Fan didn't understand.
"The Lin family didn't consult with the other powerful families beforehand; we wanted to get ahead of everyone else and seize a large share of the profits."
Xu Sanshi smacked his lips dismissively, casually grabbed a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Lin Fan's mouth, then commanded the hunters to step forward and use the highest-grade Soul-Locking Knot to put a set of golden headbands on Lin Fan.
From head to toe, there are a total of sixteen soul-locking knots, and finally, a shoulder lock is placed on top, followed by the administration of a soul-disrupting powder.
Lin Fan, looking utterly defeated, along with his companion, was locked in a small, dark room.
He Caitou thoughtfully placed the brute dog at the door.
"With the Lin family here, I reckon the other powerful families will be eager to make their move!" Xu Sanshi asked He Caitou for a cigar and put it in his mouth.
"It's good that you're here. It saves us from having to pin a crime on them later." He Caitou clenched his fist.
"I have a suggestion. Instead of waiting here for them to come to us, why don't we just call them directly?"
Xu Sanshi exhaled a heavy puff of smoke; he hated underhanded schemes and plots the most.
In the past, there was nothing we could do when faced with these shady characters.
But things are different now. Now he has enough heavy firepower to bombard the ground!
Smash all conspiracies and schemes!
If one hundred bombs don't expose the mastermind, then use three hundred!
"No need to go. Nanxiao said the infighting among the aristocratic families will devour them. What we really need to wait for is the king or nobleman hiding behind the scenes!"
Xu Sanshi buried his face in the swirling smoke.
After a long silence, he finally uttered a soft, lingering sentence.
"Throughout history, the imperial family has been the most heartless."
When the Lin family took action, the Su family was personally visited and persuaded by Chen Yuanyu to remain inactive.
The Gu family and the Xiao family, however, did not take Chen Yuanyu's words to heart.
At the Xiao family residence, Xiao Shan personally saw off Xue Kui's chief clerk, leaving the residence to watch him depart.
Xiao Shan's son, Xiao Mo, the young master of the Xiao family, glanced around and asked, "Father, do we really have to go against Ye Nanxiao?"
Ye Nanxiao's name is as powerful as a nuclear bomb among the new generation of young soul masters.
"Don't be afraid, your father has hedged both sides!" (End of Chapter)
