In Qingshan City, in the Zhou family's residence, Zhou Yu and several elders of the Zhou family were discussing important matters. Strangely, Cheng Haotian was also present, because at this time, Cheng Haotian had gained Zhou Yu's absolute trust, precisely because

Cheng Haotian's strategy saved the Zhou family from danger. It not only divided the relationship between the Zhang family's eldest lady and Zhang Jie, but also used Zhang Ba to obtain the secret help of the Zhang family's eldest lady, and carried out effective counterattacks against Zhang Jie. Not only did he kill several

Zhang Jie's confidant generals also took the opportunity to seize a large area of ​​​​Qingshan City. The harvest was huge. All of this was attributed to Cheng Haotian.

Cheng Haotian also attached great importance to the tasks assigned to him by Muchen. He not only used Zhang Ba to threaten Mrs. Zhang's family several times, but also intensified the internal conflicts of the Zhang family as he wished. Today, Zhang Jie and Mrs. Zhang's family are on the same page.

The eldest lady of the Zhang family desperately wanted to save her son, but Zhang Jie was unwilling to compromise several times out of consideration for the interests of the Zhang family. The eldest lady of the Zhang family would naturally think that Zhang Jie wanted Zhang Ba to die, and Cheng Haotian was making up his own story.

After directing several scenes of assassinating Zhang Ba, the eldest wife of the Zhang family had already hated Zhang Jie to death, and promised Cheng Haotian that she was willing to help the Zhou family to kill Zhang Jie, a thorn in their side.

Even without Zhang Tianhe's command in Qingshan City, Zhang Jie was still confident that he could suppress the Zhou family. However, with such huge internal conflicts, Zhang Jie himself felt a little powerless. Not only were many officers of the city guard killed, but he also arranged the assassination of Zhou Yu.

The plan was also blocked by the eldest lady, but to no avail.

Such a situation allowed the Zhou family to seize the right opportunity to completely take over a large area south of Qingshan City and establish a strong enough defense network, making it difficult for Zhang Jie to attack the Zhou family. Zhang Jie never expected such a situation.

.

Today's Qingshan City is still dominated by the Zhang family, but the Zhou family is no longer at the mercy of others. Many nobles have chosen to attach themselves to the Zhou family. Today's Zhou family has gathered enough strength to no longer be what it was before.

Fish and meat on the board, the person who brought about all these changes was Cheng Haoran. Cheng Haotian's status in the Zhou family has been completely different.

Zhou Yu sat in the position of the head of the family and said: "There is news from the Endless Mountains that Zhang Tianhe has led the army and is preparing to return to Qingshan City. What do you think?"

An elder of the Zhou family said: "If Zhang Tianhe comes back, even if we have Zhang Ba, we can't be as tough as before. Zhang Tianhe is famous for being ruthless. If we push him hard, Zhang Tianhe may give up on Zhang Tianhe."

Ba, this son, chooses to destroy us."

Zhou Yu did not answer, but asked Cheng Haotian, "Brother Haotian, what do you think?"

"Master, I don't agree with the seventh elder's opinion. Now, the opponent that the Zhang family should worry about most is no longer us, but the Zhenshan Palace. If I were Zhang Tianhe, what should I do after returning to Qingshan City?

, is to make peace with us, because if he fights to the death with us at this time, even if he can win, the next one to be exterminated will definitely be the Zhang family. The Zhenshan Palace will never show mercy and will definitely kill the weak Zhang family.

Home."

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I agree with Brother Haotian. I heard that Zhang Tianhe was driven out of the Endless Mountains by the Qianlong Army this time. When the Zhang family had more horses and occupied a favorable location, he was actually driven out by a group of people.

The Ten Thousand Qianlong Army broke through the valley in just half an hour, and more than half of the Zhang family were killed or injured. No one in the Qianlong Army was killed. This was simply a crushing victory! I had long heard that the Qianlong Army was invincible, but I didn’t expect the combat power.

It's so exaggerated, it's simply horrifying, and it deserves to be the most elite army in the empire."

"But, since there is such a huge gap in strength, why didn't the Qianlong Army kill Zhang Tianhe and let him go? If Zhang Tianhe dies and the Zhang family is leaderless, my Zhou family will be fully capable of competing with the Zhang family."

Elder Zhou said helplessly.

Zhou Yu said at this time: "Hey, although Zhenshan Palace is powerful, after all, I have only been in Nanshan County for less than half a year, and I am not familiar with the place. In addition, the enemies that Zhenshan Palace has to face are not just the Zhang family, they

He is not willing to start a full-scale war with Qingshan City. Even if Qingshan City can be captured in the end, Zhenshan Palace will lose a lot of combat power. Today's Zhenshan Palace can no longer afford such losses. This is also Zhenshan Palace, which is willing to

Discuss with the Zhang family the reasons for the ownership of the spirit stone veins. I guess the Zhenshan Palace also wants to use this negotiation to get a chance to recuperate."

"Then what should we do? If the Zhang family and Zhenshan Prince's Mansion temporarily stop fighting, my Zhou family will be in danger."

No one spoke. After hesitation, Cheng Haotian said: "Master, my Zhou family, are you willing to submit to Zhenshan Prince's Mansion?"

After Zhou Yu hesitated, he could not answer: "This..."

The eldest elder of the Zhou family said: "Everyone knows now that Zhenshan Prince's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. There are many big forces in the empire who are eyeing this piece of fat. The reason why they are not taking action now is just because they are afraid of Zhenshan Prince's Mansion.

The prestige in the army and the emperor's promise, if in a few years, the Zhenshan Palace continues to be weak, and the emperor's nostalgia for the Zhenshan Palace declines, it will be the beginning of the nightmare for the Zhenshan Palace. If my Zhou family now surrenders to Zhenshan

The palace will inevitably be destroyed when the time comes."

Cheng Haotian said: "However, if we do not surrender to Zhenshan Prince's Mansion, once the Zhang family frees up, the Zhou family will also be destroyed. Could it be that the head of the family is willing to take us out of Qingshan City and escape from the clutches of the Zhang family."

Where can you go after leaving Qingshan City? Nanshan County is not that big. If you just leave Qingshan City, you can't escape the clutches of the Zhang family. Only by completely leaving Nanshan County can you have a chance of survival. If you leave Nanshan County, everything about the Zhou family will be gone.

We have to start from scratch, and whether we can survive until then is a question.

"There are only two roads before us now. One is to leave Nanshan County and start over. The other is to join Zhenshan Prince's Mansion and destroy the Zhang family together. Family leader, you must think carefully." Cheng Haotian said seriously.

said.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's too early to consider these things now. The Zhang family and Zhenshan Palace have not yet agreed on the results. As long as the results are not released, my Zhou family will be safe for the time being. I need to think about it carefully. Moreover,

I also want to meet our Zhenshan King to see what kind of person he is, and whether he is as reckless and arrogant as the legend says. If this is the case, even if we can escape our misfortune now, we will only die in the future."

The eldest elder of the Zhou family added: "Perhaps we still have another way to go, which is to compete with the Zhang family for the ownership of the spirit stone veins. As long as our Zhou family can also occupy part of the spirit stone veins, then no matter whether we face Zhang

Both the family and the Zhenshan Palace have a certain degree of influence. If the Zhang family wants to destroy my Zhou family, the Zhenshan Palace will definitely not be willing to do so. The Zhang family will steal our spirit stone veins. Similarly, if the Zhenshan Palace wants to

If we take action, at least the Zhang family will not sit back and ignore it. As long as we have a share of the spirit stone veins in our hands, then we will have one more person to rely on."

When Zhou Yu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he said: "The Great Elder said it well, this is indeed a good idea. As long as we can grab a share of the spirit stone vein, it will be one more life-saving talisman."

Everyone in the Zhou family immediately agreed to this plan. No matter how the family develops in the future, they still have to save their lives first. The spirit stone vein is the life-saving straw they have to fight for.

"For today's plan, we need to have a suitable reason to participate in the negotiation of the Lingshi vein."

Cheng Haotian felt a little regretful. He could not have expected that everything in the end would be exactly as Muchen expected.

Cheng Haotian could only continue to implement the plan according to Muchen's instructions, saying: "Master, I received a message a few days ago, which may allow us to participate in negotiations."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he looked happy again.

"Oh, what's the news? Tell me quickly!"
