The purpose is to wait for first-hand news.
After all, it is about the survival of major families, not the petty quarrels in the past.
Master Ouyang Huai broke the silence: "Don't remonstrate with those who have passed. Just wait for the results. Don't think about these things, it will only increase your worries."
The old people nodded one by one and said nothing more.
There is no point in talking, just wait, so they come here to wait for the result together.
On the other hand, the heads of the houses, seeing the old men saying nothing more, all looked more and more irritable.
"We should, we can win. After all, we have paid so much." A family head couldn't help but speak.
It's not about how it is, but these old people are reassurances. He wants to hear the three words "can win" from these reassurances, otherwise his heartbeat will be too fast and it will be a bit unbearable.
An old man said: "That Shi Lian Zuo Cunxu from the Zuo family said that he went to Yandi alone. After the Qi family sent so much money, that Qi Qi also went to Yandi to take up a post. What kind of trouble could he do in Guangling City? Daolang's Qi Pei was also asked to enter the capital."
This answer was not what was asked, which made the middle-aged man a little confused about what to say. He just looked at his father, with beads of sweat on his face, and his inner uneasiness became more and more obvious.
Seeing him like this, Ouyang Wen smiled sadly and handed over the handkerchief.
After the man thanked me, he was not polite. After taking the handkerchief, he began to wipe his sweat.
A middle-aged man looked at the man's lackluster look and said, "The Emperor likes to be overwhelmed by power, but this time, the power is ours, not hers."
Soldiers and horses limit the strength of the strong.
All on our side.
Wherever the emperor's reinforcements could come, they had made many calculations. Except for the soldiers and horses of Luzhou, they could not arrive anywhere else in a short time.
Moreover, the elite cavalry they kept in captivity were invincible only if they were elite.
The soldiers and horses in Luzhou are really not enough to see, unless they are the killing troops of the southern border army.
But the southern border is less than a month away from Jiangling. Calculating the time, unless the emperor plans to directly use the southern border troops to kill them all when he comes to the south, otherwise there will be no time to dispatch the southern border troops.
But let’s not talk about whether the emperor had such a ruthless determination from the beginning. With so many soldiers and horses along the way, could they escape their eyes and ears?
Even if he could escape their eyes and ears, how could he escape the eyes and ears of the King of Shu?
According to their own investigation and what Yao Xisheng said, there was no sign of other soldiers.
In the past few months, Li Xuance and dozens of followers were the only ones who set out from the southern border to the capital. Although they stayed in Luzhou for a few days, according to the intelligence, they only visited Luzhou's soldiers and horses.
If we can really use the troops and horses from the southern border, it would be possible at that time, but the prerequisite is to hide the troops and horses in Luzhou.
But that time was in December last year. At that time, so many soldiers and horses were hidden in Luzhou without anyone knowing, and the price to pay was not a big deal.
At that time, the emperor had just seized power. How could he pay such a high price? And where did so much money come from? To dispatch soldiers and horses from the southern border to Luzhou, are you not afraid of those from Tianzhu and other countries in the south invading the southern border?
Everyone in the hall is best at weighing the pros and cons and calculating the gains and losses.
So before doing this, various possibilities have been analyzed.
Some people couldn't help it anymore and said, "I'm going to ask someone to remind me. Counting the time, the results should be out by now, and it's time to send the news back."
Seeing that no one spoke, especially the old people, he bowed immediately and turned to leave.
But just opened the door.
I saw a person running from a distance as if flying.
I saw this Ouyang family servant coming to the door. While looking at the family head in front of him, he also looked at Master Ouyang Huai and Ouyang Wenyou.
Ouyang Wenyou knew that this young servant did not know what they were doing, and he was not the one sent out to wait for news, so he asked, "What happened."
The boy swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, master, soldiers, a lot of soldiers came and surrounded our mansion. They didn't do anything, they just surrounded our mansion and didn't let anyone in or out."
Hearing this, everyone in the lobby was startled. It was a sensitive time, so how could these words not make them nervous?
Ouyang Wenyou walked up to the young man in three steps and said, "What kind of soldier? Can you see where they come from?"
The boy shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that the word 'fire' on their big flag means 'summer' on the opposite side."
As soon as these words came out, before the boy could say anything, a family head immediately blurted out: "Looking for fire soldiers in the south!?"
After that, he turned around and took the brunt of the attack and rushed outside.
Chapter 562: All dead?
One person rushed out first.
The rest are just a little behind.
But in an instant, many people rushed out of the yard to see the fire-seeking soldiers.
This matter is big. If there is a slight change, it is impossible to bear the consequences, especially now that a fire-seeking pawn has appeared!
But some people who stayed in the lobby were looking at each other.
Even among the old people, a few of them had worried looks on their faces and looked at Master Ouyang Huai.
And one of the middle-aged people said: "Wenyou, why did the fire-seeking soldiers from the southern border appear in Jiangling City? The southern border is almost a month and a half away from our Jiangling City. It would be more than a month if it was faster."
Looking for fire pawns in the southern border, Li Xuance personally built one of the two powerful armies, and was also one of the three most powerful armies in the southern border.
Ouyang Wenyou looked at the head of the Ning family, frowned, but did not answer immediately, but looked at the boy curiously: "Tell me the whole story, what exactly is it."
When Ouyang Wenyou said this.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the heads of the family who had just left stepped back one by one.
Seeing their figures, Ouyang Wenyou was stunned for a moment, and everyone in the lobby who saw this scene was also stunned.
And the next moment.
I saw the sergeants dressed like the rumored fire soldiers appeared. There were more than ten people, all armed with swords, full of murderous intent, and there were boxes of different sizes in their hands.
Moreover, several of the fire-seeking soldiers had blood stains on their bodies, and after these fire-seeking soldiers came in, there was a strange smell that was smelled by everyone. I don't know if it was related to the boxes.
When they saw the fire-seeking soldiers, all the family heads who used to be superior in the past became silent. Under normal circumstances, such soldiers would dare to break in so rashly, not to mention the Ouyang family, but the people of these families. They have to be the first to scold them, and even if they don't know, they will directly attack them, no matter where the other party's troops are!
After Ouyang Wenyou thought for a while, he looked back at his father and saw that his father was just looking outside and standing to one side.
But Ouyang Wenyou's hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists.
And it wasn't just Ouyang Wenyou. When they saw the fire-seeking soldier, all the family heads pursed their lips or swallowed their saliva. What's more, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
It was those old people, except for a few who were still as stable as a mountain. The other few old people were looking straight at the fire-seeking soldiers.
The sudden appearance of soldiers from the southern border is not a good thing!
After Ouyang Wenyou calmed down a little, he was the first to speak.
However, the general headed by these fire-seeking soldiers glanced at Ouyang Wenyou and the other family heads who came to both sides of the lobby door at this time, and spoke first: "Fire-seeking soldiers Zhenwu Colonel Xiao Xu, by your majesty's order , send these pieces of shit over here for you adults to see."
Zhenwu Xiaowei, Wu Sanguan, that is, a military attache from the seventh rank.
Right now, he didn't even look at Ouyang Wenyou and others.
On the other hand, Ouyang Wenyou and others felt a little trembling in their hearts, just because of those words, 'By His Majesty's order'.
But Xiao Xu was not Mo Ji, so he waved his hand gently.
The fire-seeking soldiers immediately opened the boxes of different sizes in their hands.
Wow!
The box has just been opened and the smell is even stronger!
But it also made many people's eyes darken.
A human head is just inside those boxes. The larger boxes are densely packed, but the smaller ones are just a few here and there.
But it doesn’t matter whether it’s a bloody scene or a head with round eyes.
Never had these high-ranking family heads seen such a scene in the past.
Just see the moment!
At the moment when many people's expressions were dull, many people immediately turned around and vomited.
Even among the old people, many of them turned pale all of a sudden, and they even understood what was going on. One of them even softened, and instead of looking as steady as a rock just now, he slid off the chair. Slumped on the ground.
"There should be a lot of acquaintances of yours." Xiao Xu looked at Ouyang Wenyou and looked weak, but now he was looking straight at the heads in the boxes, so he picked up one of the heads, and surprisingly it was in the small box. Yu Shou's head was lying on the ground: "This man's face was trampled on by our brothers, but Mr. Ouyang should recognize who it is."
A small part of Yushou's head had been trampled by horse's hooves and had long since rotted.
"There are too many people, and it would be too laborious to bring them all with tens of thousands of heads, so I have selected these great masters of the End of the World who were killed by the Queen, as well as the generals you raised, to come here for you to see."
As he spoke, Xiao Xu threw the human head aside.
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the family, whose faces turned paler than the last, all suppressed their disgust and looked at the heads.
Yu Shou, Bai Nian, Wukui, Yu Yun, Ouyang Chu.
Familiar heads are there.
Especially when Ouyang Wenyou looked at the old man in the small box, the head of the [Invincible] old man Huang Chao, he turned around to look at his father, and his usual calmness was gone.
Master Ouyang Huai could naturally see Huang Chao’s head. He was shocked when he first saw it, but now he was exceptionally calm.
The head is right in front of you, and there is no need to say anything about the success or failure of the matter.
Everyone else's faces became paler and paler, their breathing began to become heavier, and some even started to tremble.
suddenly
The head of the family who was most afraid and anxious before just collapsed on the ground without saying a word, and passed out just like that.
After Xiao Xu glanced at the man, he looked at Ouyang Wenyou and others: "Don't just look around, your Majesty and the Queen will enter the city immediately. I am here to take you to greet the two saints. Let's go, my lords. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire-seeking soldiers immediately stopped being polite and walked straight up the steps.
One of the fire-seeking soldiers even kicked over the large box, and heads rolled out one after another. They were scattered all over the ground, and the blood inside was stained all over the ground.
The scene was horrifying, even more frightening.
The fire-seeking soldiers came from the battlefield. They had seen such scenes too many times and no one cared.
Xiao Xu walked up the steps, glanced at Ouyang Wenyou, then looked at Master Ouyang Huai, and walked straight away.
