Chapter 2479: War or Negotiation
Zhenwumen Headquarters.
One night passed, and there was no news from Xu Jing. Lu Guichen finally realized that something was wrong.
Even though the capital was very close at hand, he seemed to be deaf and blind and had no idea what was happening.
Lu Guichen hated the feeling of losing control of his plan.
However, after repeated setbacks, he finally learned to control his temper.
After walking out of the Haina Baichuan Building, Lu Guichen ordered a true disciple who was waiting outside: "Gather all the senior officials in the door, I want to hold a meeting."
"Yes, Master."
The true disciple cupped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
Lu Guichen raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at the gray sky.
The clouds are thick and the wind and snow are blowing together.
Just like his mood at the moment.
Whether he admits it or not, things have deviated from their original trajectory.
First, the entire Yue family rebelled, leading to Long Zhu's untimely death; then Pei Huajun suddenly disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown; and then there was no news about Xu Jing, and it is unknown where he went.
The successive incidents sounded the alarm in Lu Guichen's heart.
He seemed to smell a conspiracy.
But, how is it possible?
How could the Wu Meng be so powerful?
What exactly went wrong?
Who is helping them secretly?
Hundred Ghost Sect? Guanghan Sect?
Or is it the Tianlong sect who wants to avenge Xiao Shitong?
The thoughts in Lu Guichen's mind kept spinning, and he felt increasingly foggy.
.
Half an hour later.
The senior officials of Zhenwu Sect, summoned by Lu Guichen, arrived one after another and entered the magnificent meeting hall.
Everyone is looking at their noses and their noses, and they are walking on thin ice, fearing that they will cause trouble for the leader.
They sat quietly in their respective seats, trying not to make eye contact with Lu Guichen.
Lu Guichen sat upright and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.
Normally, Lu Guichen might have been complacent, because the reaction of the senior officials just proved that the majesty of his position as the leader should not be offended.
But now he just feels irritable.
What is the use of a group of mediocre and incompetent people besides sucking the blood of the sect?
Lu Guichen's eyes suddenly shrank as his eyes swept across the seats of the ten most powerful elders.
There are ten chairs, five are empty.
Three powerful elders died in the conflict with the Tianlong Sect. Including Long Zhu and Pei Huajun, Zhenwu Sect actually lost five peak Huajin Grandmasters in just a few months.
Although Lu Guichen regarded them as tool people, if the tool people died too many, it would be painful.
What's more, Zhenwu Sect has such a large territory and such a large foundation, if it is not supported by a sufficient number of top powerhouses, it will also face the dilemma of weakened control.
Behind the seat of the powerful elder are the seats of the other members of the Presbyterian Church.
There are more vacant chairs, accounting for less than half.
"Did...I did something wrong?"
Lu Guichen thought
A thought occurs.
But as soon as this idea came up, he killed it abruptly.
So what if I'm wrong?
If he could find his own understanding, he would rather make a mistake to the end!
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was silent and solemn, until Li Chonghua and Wang Lingjun came on the stage, it became a little lively.
As the chief steward of the Zhenwu Sect, Li Chonghua was loved by everyone. The senior executives who had been silent before stood up one after another and took the initiative to say hello to Li Chonghua.
Li Chonghua's clear face was calm and calm, and he nodded in greeting as he walked forward.
Seeing this scene, Lu Guichen couldn't help but squinted his eyes. He still sat still, raised his hand and pointed at the two chairs next to him and said: "You two junior brothers, please come and take a seat. I'm waiting for you."
Li Chonghua and Wang Lingjun cupped their hands to express their thanks, and immediately sat down on the left and right sides of Lu Guichen.
Xu Jing's seat was originally under Li Chonghua's seat, but it was also vacant at the moment.
Finding that Pei Huajun and Xu Jing were not there, the senior executives who had not yet learned the inside story looked at each other with different expressions.
Among them, there are inner hall elders, core true disciples, and heads of various departments. Although they are not many in number, they represent the backbone of the entire Zhenwu Sect.
"I called you all together early this morning to discuss two main things."
Lu Guichen got straight to the point: "The first is the death of Long Zhu, the powerful inner hall elder, and the betrayal of the Yue family; the second is the threat posed to us by the Wu Alliance and the countermeasures."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you
, Judu didn’t dare to breathe.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Although it has only been a short time, the news of the failure of last night's operation has already spread like wildfire.
Since he knows that the leader is unhappy, who dares to be the one who takes the lead?
Lu Guichen waited for a long time, but when he saw that no one spoke, his mood became worse. He pointed at Xu Guo with his finger: "Elder Xu, you speak first."
Xu Guo immediately stood up from his seat and spoke eloquently under the gaze of everyone: "These two things can actually be counted as one. Whether it is the death of Brother Long or the betrayal of the Yue family, they are all inseparable from the Wu Alliance.
relationship."
"As long as the threat of the Wu League is eliminated, the other problem will naturally be solved."
Lu Guichen nodded and asked meaningfully: "Then how should we eliminate the threat of the Martial Alliance?"
Xu Guo clenched his fist fiercely and said decisively: "The martial alliance dared to kill Elder Long and Elder Pei, and protected the shameless traitor of the Yue family, preventing us from cleaning up the family. There is no doubt that they are on the opposite side of us and are our enemies! Treat them!
With such a powerful enemy, we cannot take any chances, we must fight to the death and fight to the death!"
It was clear that Pei Huajun was not dead yet, but he was the first to put the blame on Wu Meng's head.
Lu Guichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a strange light in his pale golden pupils. He was a little surprised and surprised: "You mean to start a full-scale war with the Martial Alliance?"
"That's right!"
Xu Guo left his seat
, strode to the middle of the meeting hall, knelt down on one knee towards Lu Guichen, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but his tone was impassioned: "Master, please conduct a general mobilization of the sects, and contact Wuji Sect, Yin Yang Sect, Baolin Sect and other allies to work together
Eradicate the Martial Alliance, a great evil in the world!"
Everyone was stunned.
No one expected that Xu Guo would say such earth-shattering words.
"No!"
Li Chonghua suddenly stood up and slapped the case, saying sternly: "Absolutely not!"
The golden brilliance in Lu Guichen's pupils became more intense. He stared at Li Chonghua's old face with a deep and unpredictable gaze: "Why not?"
"If we go to war with the Martial Alliance, at least it will turn into rivers of blood, and at worst, lives will be ruined."
Li Chonghua's eyes gradually turned pale gold, and he met Lu Guichen's gaze and said resolutely: "Master, there is still room for recovery, please don't go to war rashly and push the sect into a state of eternal destruction!"
Lu Guichen held his chin with his right hand and asked calmly, uncharacteristically: "How does Junior Brother Li plan to redeem himself? Should he swallow his anger or bow his head to the Martial Alliance?"
"Please give me a chance, senior brother, to represent the sect in negotiating with the Martial Alliance. I promise not to betray the interests of the sect!"
