Clash Of The Sword Titans
Chapter 672: My Family
"Old Ba, if you have different ideas, you can tell them."
Hou Wuye had already noticed the disapproval on Baye Hou’s face, his old face trembled slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "We have been fighting for some time now. Although you have the upper hand, you are alone. , I can’t control the huge Hou’s family. I believe you’ve already seen this. Hou’s father is away, and everyone in the Hou’s family is thinking about it. Those who seem to obey you and me are actually waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. How many guys are there? You have been smart since you were a child. I shouldn't need to remind you of this, right?"
"When you continue to fight like this, when will you be the head? Even if you fight me down, the main family is old, separated, and so many eyes are staring at you, how can you be their opponent by yourself? Lu Li said so much Then, there is only one sentence that makes me quite touched. No matter what the future is, the Hou family... still have to work together with you and me to continue."
Hou Wuye sighed, although it is not a heart-to-heart, but it is also a rare real feeling.
Since Hou Ye disappeared, he and Hou Ba Ye fought inwardly, and he always had such worries in his heart. On the one hand, he was worried that he would not be able to fight the old man. On the other hand, he thought that after they lost both sides, the Hou family would be in chaos , Falling into long-term internal friction.
Everyone wants to be the master of the house, and no one accepts it. In the end, this huge family business can only be torn apart in internal fighting, and the glory of the Hou family will become the past.
At that time, they were the sinners of the Hou family.
Hearing Hou Wuye's words, Hou Baye was also rare to be silent for a while, and finally said: "Lu Li's plan is feasible, and the Hou family needs to expand. Even if you and I stop fighting, we don't have Houye's means."
After a pause, Baye Hou laughed at himself: "Even if we don't accept him anymore, we have to admit that he can really keep those people down. And you and I are just relying on the remnants of his stay, barely lingering. That's it."
"Therefore, the Hou family must expand. We want everyone to eat. With the current Hou family, this cannot be achieved."
With that said, Baye Hou picked up the jade pendant left by Lu Li, rubbed his fingers lightly, and finally smiled: "And you have to admit that Lu Li's proposal is really interesting. To overwhelm the family of the three states and unify this power Get up, what kind of giant will the Hou family become? The ancients...or higher?"
"You...do you really believe him?"
Hou Wuye was startled, his expression was a little weird.
"Why don't you believe it? This plan is very detailed, and even the benefit distribution has been done in advance. Lu Li also admitted personally that he would send someone from the land department to help. What reason does he have to deceive us?"
Baye Hou said indifferently: "I don't think anyone in this world is willing to do useless work. If Lu Li has taken such a big circle, it is to harm the Hou family, he can use a simpler method. What's more, this plan, even If the Hou Family does not do it, some people are willing to take over. At that time, the Hou Family is the'target' in the eyes of others."
"Lu Li wants to support the leader of a family in order to control the family in three states. Are you not afraid that the Hou family will eventually become a puppet in his hands?"
Hou Wuye said in a deep voice.
After all, Lu Li didn't hide his thoughts at all.
He just wanted to support a wealthy family standing on top of all aristocratic families. This wealthy family could be the Hou family or something else, but in the end, it must be directly controlled by the Yanwang Palace.
Hou Wuye did not believe that Lu Li had spent so much effort in the end just to transform a family into a wealthy family.
As for the 40% benefits he said, Hou Wuye didn't care at all.
Compared with the follow-up benefits brought by this plan, what is it to give up 40% of the benefits?What he worried the most was that Lu Li's appetite was not so small.
"Fifth brother, you made a mistake." Baye Hou smiled harmoniously: "If it's just to support a puppet, why should we come to the Hou family? No matter what the Hou family said, it is also the strongest family in Yanzhou. Even if there are many powerful people lurking in the pool of Yanzhou, they still have to maintain sufficient awe of the Hou family. This is the same even in the Yanwang Mansion. If Lu Li wants a puppet, there are countless families in Yanzhou. He can choose, and there are many people who don’t care about the identity of the puppet and are willing to cooperate with Lu Li. Why does he need to find the Hou family, the most difficult behemoth to control? With his methods, combined with the power of the land, he can do it. On the premise of not disturbing the Hou Family, direct the Hou Family..."
"destruction!"
Baye Hou emphasized these two words, and his face changed.
When he was thinking in this direction, he suddenly felt that Lu Li might have another plan.
Of course, this conspiracy may not be all directed at the Hou family, but it is absolutely inseparable from the Hou family.
However, he quickly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "In short, the Hou family does not have many choices now. Even if you don't cooperate with Lu Li, civil unrest will happen sooner or later in the long run. At that time, it will depend on you and me. Human power can't suppress these guys at all. It's better to join hands with Lu Li now, if his plan really succeeds, the Hou Family... will always have more advantages than disadvantages."
"Do you really think so?"
Hou Wuye was also a little moved.
Baye Hou nodded, and squinted: "But we also have to be careful. This Lu Li is completely a wolf pup. Be careful that he bites back at a critical moment and swallows us alive."
"That's natural." After all, Hou Wuye never trusted Lu Li from the beginning. He nodded when he heard this, then hesitated for a moment, and said, "If this is the case, the matter between us..."
He was referring to infighting.
During this period of time, the two people fought openly and secretly in order to compete for the position of the head of the Hou family. Although they have not yet risen to the point of large-scale conflict, according to the current situation, the whole Hou family has felt a smell of something wrong, knowing The final result is about to be decided.
"Let's fight."
Baye Hou smiled lightly: "You don't have to be true, but you have to show them. Otherwise, if we two suddenly shake hands and make peace, it will inevitably stimulate some people."
"Continue to fight and show them, let them think that they can take advantage of the fishermen's profit, so that the Hou family can be stable for some time. When they really start, they will react, it is too late."
Hou Wuye glanced at him deeply, "Lao Ba, are you trying to...get rid of them?"
"It's all from my own family. There is no need to be so indifferent." Baye Hou stood up, Yun Danfeng said softly: "It's just that we also have to let people know that some thoughts must never be raised. Once thoughts are raised, It has to be paid."
"Master Hou was able to do it in the first place, but can't you two of you do it?"
Having said that, Baye Hou gave his fifth brother a meaningful look and smiled and paced out of the chamber.
But Hou Wuye's face changed slightly, and he pondered for a long time, and finally crushed the jade slip hidden in his sleeve.
The three masters stepped into the chamber immediately.
These three people were exactly the three masters who released the Qi to deter Lu Li at that time.
One of the masters handed over to Hou Wuye: "What is the command of Wuye?"
Hou Wuye's face was obscure and inexplicable, and he groaned and said: "You were sent to destroy one of Lao Ba's property before, how is this going on?"
The three grand masters were slightly startled, thinking that he disliked himself and others for not doing things well. When he was about to explain, he heard Hou Wuye say: "If you haven't done it yet, then don't move."
"Fifth Lord?"
The grandmaster who first spoke out puzzled: "I have been following up on this matter for a long time, although I haven't done anything yet... but I have found an opportunity, and now giving up, may not be able to destroy the industry here in one blow."
"Let it go."
Hou Wuye didn't elaborate on the reason, but said indifferently: "It's all from his own family, even if it is the property of the old eight, it belongs to the Hou family."
Having said this, Hou Wuye's eyes flickered, and he continued: "During this period of time, you have all worked hard. You can stop the previous actions against Lao Ba."
The three masters were even more surprised.
But seeing the expression on Hou Wuye's face, they knew that Hou Wuye was not joking.
