Chapter 151 The Song Family's Strategy, Collusion with the Huangtian Sect
The next day.
In the Song family courtyard.
A few withered vines twined around the broken rockery stones. The courtyard flower beds that used to be full of flowers were overgrown with weeds and looked dilapidated and desolate.
Song Chen, the eldest young master of the Song family, and Song Yu, the third young master, were sitting in the living room, their eyes slowly moving to the center of the living room.
There is a lonely tablet placed there, with the inscription "The spiritual tablet of my late father Song Gongming" engraved on it.
Song Chen and Song Yu stood up one after another, each took out three sticks of incense and placed them on white candles to light.
The two brothers stood side by side and put three sticks of incense on their foreheads, then knelt down devoutly and kowtowed three times.
The two of them placed the incense on the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet.
A few wisps of green smoke curled up.
The lonely lobby began to be filled with the aroma of sandalwood.
"When my father was alive, the Song family was so prosperous, but now it is in decline..." Song Yu's voice was low, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone: "Brother, the family business has been losing money one after another, and other companies are closing in. How long can we...how long can we last?"
Only his brother Song Chen responded with an equally heavy sigh: "I don't know. If this continues, our Song family will cease to exist within this month."
"Can we just sit back and wait for death?"
At this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the silence in the courtyard.
Song Xuan, the young master of the Song family, hurriedly entered the lobby, followed by a Taoist priest who was dressed in simple but imposing manners.
When the two of them heard this, they were both stunned, and then they looked up at the Taoist.
The man had a pale face, deep eyes, and thick shoulders.
They could tell at a glance that this was a practitioner.
"Who is this?"
The Taoist stood forward and said with a smile: "Wei Yushan, a poor Taoist, serves Liu Qushuai of Huang Tianjiao. He has disturbed the Song family a lot before. Now I want to hear about the affairs of the Song family, and I want to do my best."
Between the words, there was an indescribable sense of pride and the unique aura of a superior person.
Song Chen and Song Yu looked at each other after hearing Wei Yushan announce his home, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
As we all know, Huang Tianjiao was a traitor identified by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
What does the youngest Song Xuan mean by bringing people from the Huangtian Sect into his home? Could it be that he wants them to join the Huangtian Sect and become rebels?
Song Chen and Song Yu suddenly felt confused and felt that their younger brother was too bold.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Song Xuan, the young master of the Song family, knew what he was doing. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brothers, we have thought about everything we should think of and still have made no progress. Now Huang Tianjiao Daoist Master Wei is willing to help us." , isn’t this a great thing?”
Huang Tianjiao, that is a traitor.
Song Chen and Song Yu suddenly became silent, their faces tense, and it was difficult to get angry in front of Wei Yushan.
Seeing this, Song Xuan's slightly childish face showed a layer of indignation.
He spent a lot of effort to find Wei Yushan, but Song Chen and Song Yu didn't appreciate it.
Song Xuan's face changed and he said angrily: "Now that my father has died so mysteriously, do you still want to sit back and wait for death? Are you willing to give up the property that my Song family has worked hard for twenty years to just like this?" "
Song Chen, the eldest young master of the Song family, and Song Yu, the third young master, were so scolded by Song Xuan that they felt uncomfortable for a moment.
Song Yu was breathing heavily, clenching his hands into fists, and the bones and joints he clenched cracked.
Song Xuan continued: "Since that dog magistrate is unkind, don't blame us. He did well in the first grade of junior high school, and we also did well in the fifteenth grade. Anyway, this county will fall sooner or later, so it is better to make a bright future here."
"What do you mean by this?" Third Young Master Song Yu suddenly raised his head, glanced at Huang Tianjiao's Wei Yushan, and asked Song Xuan.
Wei Yushan smiled and answered: "That's what it means literally. Following the order of the Taoist Master, we Commander Qu will soon lead hundreds of thousands of people to attack Taiping County."
"What?!" Song Chen and Song Yu were shocked when they heard the news for the first time.
Huang Tianjiao is about to attack Taiping County. Is there going to be a fight here?
Song Chen and Song Yu looked frightened.
Song Yu glanced at Wei Yushan and suddenly said, "You told us such an important thing, aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"
"Hahaha." Wei Yushan seemed to have heard something very funny, and laughed and said: "If you expose it, then expose it. Taiping County is now lax in its armed forces. Not to mention our hundreds of thousands of believers, it is tens of thousands of us." Even the county government may not be able to stop it, and even if you tell me in advance, it won't affect the outcome. What's more, our commander, Qu, is already at the innate realm and is capable of killing all the young people in this county."
Wei Yushan took a step forward, looked directly at brothers Song Chen and Song Yu, and said in a seductive manner: "Now we all speak openly, there is no need to beat around the bush. After all, your Song family is the owner of the county town and operates in the county town. Over the years, I have a thorough understanding of the situation in Taiping County.”
"After we capture the city, we need someone to take care of Taiping County for us. There is no one more suitable than your Song family. Will joining us be worse than you are now?"
Song Xuan spoke anxiously and said: "Advancing does not necessarily mean you will live, but retreating will definitely lead to death. Big brother, third brother, what is there to hesitate about?"
The third young master Song Yu pondered for a while and asked: "If you join, what do you need me to do?"
"You don't need the Song family to do too much, as long as you help us open the city gate and give us a helping hand when we attack the city."
"So simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
After a long time, the third young master Song Yu glanced at the eldest young master Song Chen, and saw some meaning in the latter's eyes.
Indeed, the Song family couldn't be worse now.
He made up his mind and nodded heavily and said: "We will join you."
Wei Yushan said happily: "Okay, with the joining of you Song family heroes, our attack on Taiping County will definitely be smooth, and many brothers and sisters will die less. I will thank the Song family heroes for their kindness and righteousness on their behalf."
As he said, Wei Yushan bowed very seriously, making Song Yu, Song Chen and Song Xuan all flattered.
Song Yu lowered his voice and asked, "When does Lord Qu plan to start the rebellion? I have to prepare well."
Wei Yushan said, "It was originally scheduled for the 15th of next month, but something happened yesterday, so our Lord Qu plans to start early, which is these days. If it's fast, it will be done in three days. If it's slow, it will be about five days."
"So fast?"
"A sharp knife can cut the Gordian knot."
"Well, we'll wait for news from you, Taoist priest, at any time."
The Song family was targeted by the government because the restaurant found out about the Huangtian Sect. Song Yu didn't have much good feelings for this sect that was good at deceiving the people.
But he didn't expect that one day, they would take the initiative to cooperate with the people of the Huangtian Sect. It was really a matter of fate.
Song Yu didn't know whether this was good or bad for them.
...
At the same time, the official road outside the city of Taiping County was filled with dust.
A gorgeously decorated carriage came galloping from a distance, with wheels rolling and bringing up clouds of dust.
On the carriage, the triangular flag fluttering in the wind was particularly eye-catching. The word "Zhou" on it was golden and dazzling, like the rising sun, shining brightly.
When the carriage entered the shantytown in the outer city, the people living in the shantytown saw the extraordinaryness of the carriage and did not dare to be presumptuous. They consciously made way for a wide road.
"It's the Zhou family from the county city. Please make way."
The gate guards, who were usually majestic, recognized the identity of the owner of the carriage at a glance. At this moment, they were also humble and did not dare to act rashly, watching the carriage pass by.
As the carriage turned lightly through several streets and alleys, it stopped steadily in front of the Zhou family mansion.
"Fifth Young Master, we are here."
The door of the carriage opened slightly, and the crisp sound of bells accompanied by a faint scent of incense floated out.
A man about twenty years old, wearing cloud-patterned arrow sleeves, walked out slowly.
He had fair skin and a handsome face.
Wearing a white jade crown on his head and a beautiful jade hanging on his waist, his whole body has an indescribable majesty and nobility.
"Someone from my family is here. Didn't that old Zhou Dingwen go out to pick me up?"
I've been a bit stuck recently, and I've been staying up late. When I came back from work today, I was always sleepy and dozing off. I couldn't write fast in a daze. I'll update one chapter first, and I'll update the rest tomorrow night. I'm going to sleep first to make up for the sleep.
